The very intimation of the sum, from such a quarter, is porten tous, since it would magnify very much our notion of the draughts he has been enabled to make upon the credulity and cupidity of the English Money-market. We have always on public principles, and as a public institution, denounced the United States' Bank as dangerous, seeing how indiscreet and incautious its advances were, and how contrary to the true character of banking its commercial speculations, but we have never placed it in so disadvantageous a point of view as is done by these remarks proceeding from the Bank parlour. But our obligations to Holland will be the greater, almost infinite, if she consents to relieve us from this difficulty. LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY.

(cotton wool con signed at several times) was not sufficient to cover those draughts, and others not yet presented to a nearly equal amount. This is an excellent reason, no doubt ; but the proceeding has not the less astonished the holders, and indeed all Paris. No event unconnected with politics has occurred within the last half century that caused so much noise. Messrs. Hottinguer and Co. have, I be lieve, been the correspondents of the United States Bank ever since its formation. LONDON AND GREENWICH RAILWAY.

No successful attempt has hitherto been made to introduce the superior coals of North Staffordshire into the London Market, and the wealthy owners of the northern collieries have hitherto enjoyed a monopoly. For the purpose of supplying the Metropolis with coals equal, and in some respects superior, to the best " Wallsend," a. Company has been formed who have contracted for the purchase of the Dilhorne Colliery, with its engines and machinery, and the fe simple of a large tract of adjoining mineral land, abound ing in coal and iron, situate in the Northern Division of the County of Stafford. Arrangements have been made with the different Canal Proprietors for the transit of the Coal at reduced rates of tonnage; and the Company will be enabled to deliver to their Shareholders in London, at all seasons of the year, the very best quality of Coals at 225. 6d: per ton, leaving an ample return for the Capital embarked.

INGERSOLL'S COTTON CIRCULAR AND THE UNITED STATES: BANK.-Mr. John Ingersoll, of Nat chei, Mississippi, has published, in the Natchez Free Trader, cf the I.2th instant, a full statement respecting his famous Cotton Circular on the 22c1 of October last, It appears from the letters of Beven and Humphreys, Humphreys and Biddle, and M. Humphreys to him, that he was the responsible agent for them and the United States Bank, to purchase cotton and make advances thereon. He has one letter giving him limited and another giving unlimited credit to the above firms. Until the publication of the circular, his drafts bad been duly ho noured by Messrs. Humphreys and Biddle, of Liver pool. It also appears that,the above houses,'in con nexiot) with the United State's Bank, wished again to enter the cotton market,. and..advange the same as for merly, only they wanted to remain quiet themselves while an agent acted for them: 'Everything passed off very well until Mr. Ingersoll uadvertently, as they say, published his circular, which exposed the whole opera tion. They then published their denial of ever having anything to .do with Mr. John Ingersoll, which has al ready been made public. --Yew York Herald: GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.

Sept. 6 £BO 0 1 7 8 239 5 0 9 10 11 12 7l 19 4 Mr. Jaudon, we may take the Bank parlour for that fact, has had recently to provide 1,500,0001. for par. ments connected with the affairs of his principals, th e directors of the United States Bank ; but he has only drawn upn Holland, it seems, about 800,000/., and the inquiry naturally - arises, - in what manner the difference has been made up. Mr. :Tendon has been compelled to resort to other channels for it, and could not select a better than the house in Liverpool. Messrs. Humphreys and Biddle, to which all the consignments of cotton purchased by, or for, or in the name of the United States Bank, have been made. The house could not, perhaps, with a very large stock still on hand, give any very effective assistance in money, but that stock, if not saleable at the full price calculated upon for it, was still of large value, and a good security within certain limits for raising money upon. In such cases houses of good credit, both in Liverpool and London, could never be wanting who would allow themselves to be drawn upon, and the cotton to be hypothecated as their security. This, it is said, has been done to a large amount at the instance of Mr. Jaudon, and as the agent of the United States Bank. No objection is intended to be made, but very far from it, to this proceeding on his part. If he did not obtain his regular remittances from the United States Bank, all the property they held in this country was most clearly and equitably, as their agent, at his disposal. There is, to be sure, an admission in this of a fact often denied, that the cotton really belonged to the United States Bank ; but, as the secret has been sinco let out, it would have been idle to affect any furthe r concealment.

The little Swiss—Oh ! why der young mensch here (turning round to Gunno) kommt and say ker steinWn —der—der—das, I no do it recht der first time. The COMMISSIONER—Not stifle him right, and then come again ! Why he must be very partial to your stifling. The little Swiss—Ach, mein Gott ! no ; very hard to please. He no like it der first time, and so he komm two times. The COMMISSIONER—And then you did stifle him. The little Swiss—Oh, yes ; den der stelfeln fit (rohrs of laughter). Gunno, who, like an Irish poverty blanket—half wool and half tow— was a very rough spun and some what inflammable specimen of civilisation, appeared to think that the roar of laughter did not raise him in the estimation of the Commissioners. and that it was high time he should interfere and explain matters. " Well, I'm jiggered," said he, pretty sharply, " if I can see what you're all makin sich a precious laugh on it for. Why this here stiflin, as the little chap calls it, aint nothin but a pair of boots as he had to make for me. He came from High Jarniany, and when they measures a man for a pair of boots in that there country, they calls it a stiflin on him. A nation set of queer chaps they must be." This made the Commissioners as well acquainted with the matter as if they had studied at Gottingen, and they at once asked if he admitted the debt. Gunno said he did, but as the little high Jarman had kept him a matter of three months before be stilled him, he didn't sec as how he should pay him not a bit sooDer. A COMMNRIONER—How long have you bad the boots? Gunno—A month, and I'll pay him ss. a-month, and that'll make it just. three, the time as he was a stiflin' on me, as he calls it. Ordered accordingly. When the little " snob of Zug" understood that he was to wait for two months for his money, he grew as fierce as a •' fiery ghost," and clenching his fist at the Chairman, exclaimed, " Du bist ein narr " (You are a a fool). He then turned round towards GUnno ; but seeing that he was dangerously near him, the little fellovr thrust his fist in his breeches-pocket, and con tented himself with muttering between his teeth " Du bist ein schelm" (You are a rascal). CROYDON PETTY SESSIONS. YESTERDAY. (Before Messrs. WARRINGTON, LORAINE, SUTHER LAND, and ADAMS.) Mr. Simmons, a farmer at Mitcham, attended before the Bench to show cause why he neglected to pay the amount of two years' tithes for his land, due to the Rev. Mr. Ferrars, the Vicar of Beddington. The circumstances connected with the proceedings against the defendant are of rather an extraordinary character. It appears that he has held the land in question a great many years, but he has always resisted the payment of tithe. Proceedings have time after time been adopted against him by different clergymen but he has always succeeded in some way or other in evading them, and no clergyman has ever been able to get one farthing of tithe from him. The defendant has recently built a cottage which is called in derision Tithe Cottage, and he has repeatedly declared that he never will pay tithes. The present proceedings were adopted with a view to set the question at rest, either by asserting the defendant's liability, or relieving him from the charge. The CMAIRHAN asked the defendant on what ground he refused to pay his tithes ? The defendant said that he had an agreement with his landlord when he took the land, that he was to pay all the rates and charges upon it, and therefore he had nothing to do with the payment of the tithe. The Bench told him they had nothing to do with any agreement between him and his landlord. He, as tenant, was liable to the payment of the tithes, and if such an agreement as he described existed between him and his landlord, he could deduct the amount from his rent. _ _ _ The defendant said he did not think his landlord would be very well satisfied with such a settlement, and he should not pay the tithe because he did not con sider he was liable to do so. Mr. LORAINE said the Bench was very well aware what his grounds of objection were, and it was useless for him to put forward the objection he had. Defendant—Well, the fact is, I will not pay tithes. I have occupied the land since 1826, and I never have paid any tithes, and I never will. Mr. LORAINE—We know it. You have occupied this Land for thirteen years, and have defied every cler gyman to get his tithes, and although proceedings have been taken against you, you have always managed to evade them. I now tell you that we are determined that you shall pay the tithes. Defendant—Very well, Sir, we shall see. The de fendant then retired. Same discussion took place as to what proceedings should be adopted, and Mr. Adams expressed an opi nion that the fact of the non-payment of tithe for a pe riod of fourteen years made out a prinza facie case, that the land was tithe free. Mr. LORAINE said that he did no t t hi n k , if no appli cation was made for tithe at all (luring that period, that it was a sufficient length of time to justify the plea that the land was tithe free ; and he thought that the !east period upon which such a pl ea cou ld b e founded would be twenty years , but in the present case the liability had been never denied, and during the whole of the period the defendant had merely been resisting the legal demand wade upon him. Ultimately an order for the payment of the money was directed to issue, preparatory to ulterior proceed. ings being taken.

MANSION-HOUSE. IMPORTANT TO PUBLICANI.—PRODUCTION OF LICHNSIS, —John Thompson, the landlord of the Rising Sun, Cloth Fair, was char ge d b y Inspector Martin, of the City police. with having allowed gaming in his house. The witness said that about twenty minutes after nine o'clock on Thursday night he went into the house of the defendant, and observed some persons playing at cribbage, and others at bagatelle. The landlord said he was not aware he was doing wrong, but that it should never occur again. The persons playing appeared to be respectable tradesmen. They were very orderly. He did not know that they were playing for anything. He saw no money. Mr. Humphrey, who attended on behalf of the defen dant, submitted that no offence bad been committed, as there was no proof that they wire playing for anything, and that the Lord Mayor had no jurisdiction in the case, as it was not proved that the house was licensed. The LORD MA:OR. (to the defendant)—Have you got your license? Mr. Humphrey --I submit that your Lordship has no right to ask that question. If the license is required notice ought to have been given to the defendant to produce it. The LORD MAYOR_I like to see a case met on its merits. That this is a licensed public house there can be no doubt, and if you give me the trouble to make the defendant pro duce his license you will not be doing him any service. Mr. Humphrey—l am sure your Lordship will not pre judge the case because a point of law has been taken. The LORD MAYOR —If a defendant takes advantage, and gives unnecessary trouble, I should doubt whether he is entitled to any particular mercy. Mr. Humphrey—lf your Lordship should hold out that opinion, it would deter advocates from raising points of law. The law is that a man must be con. victed, if at all, by legal evidence and not by inference; and, standing here as an advocate, I am bound to take any objection that may arise upon the face of the case. Otherwise I should not be discharging the duty which I am sworn to discharge. The LORD MAYOR—In this case you have allowed the witness to prove the case, I apprehend, completely, and then you prevent me doing justice, or adjudicating, by taking advantage of a point of law which I certainly can remedy if I please. Mr. Humphrey—l think not. The LORD MAYOR—I can, by adjourning the case till the witnesses produce the license. I have plenty of means of proving it to be a licensed house. Mr. Humphrey—l apprehend lam now on_my • e O n ß o p entitled MAYOR-If to your the Lordship's license I have pleaded not guilii; the case bas been gone into ; L aud Th l a w should have ruled it not necessary to show that th e j parties were playing for money, but that having cards i n h adj ud b g e m en ent h . ere, the house and playing them, was playing at an unlawful game. But I cannot go into that as you have taken ad vantage of a point of law that there is no proof of this being a licensed house. Under these circumstances you will get off, but I trust this will have the same effect as if a conviction had taken place. Mr. Humphrey—Now the case is over, I may state that the defendant has assured me he erred through igno rance, but that he will not offend again. The LORD MAYOR said he was glad to hear such an assurance, and the matter then dropped. MNEMONICS.—A humourous comment on such systems was made by a waiter at an hotel where Retnaigle dined, after having given his lecture on artificial memory. A few minutes after the professor left the table, the waiter entered with uplifted hands and eyes, exclaim. ing—" Well, I protest the memory man has forgotten his umbrella." 39, ALBEMARLE-STREET, PICCADILLY, AND 96, CHEATSIDE.--DEAFNESS AND DEFECTIVE VISION.— A greater proof of the value of the Messrs. S. and B. Solomon's Invisible Operative Voice_ Conductor, and newly-invented Spectacle Lenses, cannot be adduced, than and the patronag e t h ey have, and daily the circumstance of the man y thousa nds of individuals who have obtained the great est benefit, and in s t ant re li ef, and the constant immense de mand ther e is for them from all quarterscontinue na o tniu of nd thetehe to c re glob, globesi principal members of th e me di ca l profes v from pers ons o f the highest dis tinction Lion. After their general use to deaf persons and those with defective vision, no observation is required to set forth their merits. The Messrs. Solomons disclaim all connection with persons of the same name, and the sale of amber spectacles. Dr. Andrew Ure, Esq., xD .F. R. S., &c., states amber is most powerfully electrical by friction, very bet, to such an extent as to explode into fragments. The workmen, too, are subject to a nervous tremor in their wrists, arms, &c. ; they encounter great danger by hand ling such dreadfully-excited electrics. Amber is of such a soft and sticky nature, that it is apt to take fire; and when exposed to warmth, it swells, bubbles up, and will burn away with flame. This statement is further confirmed by Sir D. Brewster and Pliny, as also by Parks and Hems on Chemistry. The pernicious and destructive use of such a material for spectacles to imperfect vision may be ascertained at any respectable optician's in London.— 96, Cheapside, and 39, Albemarle-street. No agents nor tra vellers are employed. " HAVRE DE GRACE, SEPT. 14, THREE O'CLOCK.— This town, or rather the commercial portion of it, is quite in a commotion, in consequence of a circumstance of immense importance which has just occurred in the mercantile world here. You are of course aware that Havre is the great entrepot of the products of the New World as far as France is concerned ; and that its transactions with the United States of America, carried on by a double line of packet ships from hence to New York and New Orleans, are, therefore, the transactions of the French nation. In their ambition to rival the ma nufactures of England, and consequently to dispense with them altogether, the commercial capitalists of this coun try have, for the last two or three years, overtraded in cot ton. One of the fearful results of this gambling system of speculation has just fallen on this city like a thunderbolt. This morning, a bill of the United States Bank for a sum little short of a million sterling was dishonoured by the house on which it was drawn in Havre, one of the oldest and most opulent commercial establishments in France, and connected with the house of Baring, Brothers, and Co., of London. You can hardly conceive the consternation this circumstance has caused here, or the injury which is likely to accrue from it to the mercan tile community. Many persons say that the act was rash and unadvised, and urge in strong terms the cer tain solvency of the United States Bank ; while others, on the contrary, say that it was a well-timed and well managed tour d'addresse, to prevent the Americans playing the same trick with France as they did with England in 1837 ; that is, in plain terms, overreaching their too credulous European correspondents. This latter opinion obtains amongst the majority of men of business in Havre. Be this, however, as it may, the American merchants in the town, as well as those na tive houses less largely engaged in heavy transactions with the Western Continent, or not so well informed as the house in question, are all in utter despair ; and th e Americans, so long everything with the French nation, are now as much out of favour as they were before pre ferred by them. Since Havre became the Liverpool of France never was 'Change in so agitated a state as it has been all this day. America is now looked on as a bankrupt once more."—Letter in the Post. An extraordinary sensation was created in the city this morning, by the announcement that Messrs. Hot tinguer and Co. of Paris, who have hitherto acted as agents for the Bank of the United States, had refused to accept any more drafts of that establishment, and had allowed to be protested bills for about two millions and half of francs, which were sold by the bank in New York previous to the sailing of the Liverpool steamer, and were subsequently negotiated in London last Tuesday, by various bankers and merchants, into whose hands they bad come in the regular course of business. At first it was imagined that this proceeding would destroy the credit of the Bank of the United States, and lead to other unpleasant consequences ; but upon inquiry it was ascertained that many of . the bills had been accepted by third parties for honour of the endorsers, and that the remainder would probably be taken up by Messrs. Rothschild and Co. for honour of the United States Bank. This arrangement would leave the affair in a satisfactory state, merely changing the agency from one hou s e t o another. We shall hear further on this subject next Wednesday. There were some bills on Hamburg and Amsterdam sold at the same time, drawn by the United States Bank which there is no reason to believe will be dis honoured.—Evening Paper. A Morning Paper, adverting to the rumour men tioned on Thursday, of assistance by the Bank of Eng land to an institution to which it has hitherto been de cidedly hostile, says— " There can be no hesitation in fixing upon the party here referred to. It must be a leading American con nexion that is meant—one of somewhat recent esta blishment in this country—and, assuming such to be the case, we believe we may with the most perfect con fidence assure our Contemporary that the rumour he has heard to its prejudice is without foundation. The Bank of England have certainly not given any assistance of the nature pointed out. It has been known for some time past that the Bank of the United States of Philadelphia have, in order to sup port certain other banks of the United States, been induced to advance them their post-notes pay able in England, and other accommodation, on the depo sit of satisfactory security, and that when they (the United States Bank of Philadelphia) called in such ad vances, they found difficulty in getting them. An ar rangement was, therefore, entered into with a leading banking-house at Amsterdam (that of Hope and Co.), in virtue of which the latter undertook to advance on the securities in question such amounts as might be re quired by the London agency. The amount drawn under this arrangement has, we are informed, up to the present time, not exceeded 800,0001. sterling. If the party pointed out by our Contemporary had been as sisted by the Bank of *gland, it is obvious that re course to the other establishment would have been need less. It is true that the agency of the United States Bank has had upwards of a million and a half sterling to provide for, and this, we are informed, has been done entirely without the intervention of the Bank of England." This information is the more curious and important from the internal evidence it bears of proceeding from the Bank parlour itself, where alone, unless the party supposed to be assisted should speak out, it could be said that assistance has not been given. That the fact of having been so assisted was prejudicial to the United States Bank we were not aware, since mercantile firms and banks of the first class do constantly receive such assistance without any injury to their credit, and it might as well be said that every man who discounts a bill at the Bank of England is thereby to a certain extent damaged. The imputation was, that the Bank of England, in the midst of a general and sweeping endeavour with one band to contract the circulation, should have gone out of its way with the other hand to increase the issues by engaging in such a transaction. After the denial given, which must be received as official, we presume that it must, as far as it goes, be accepted. But the affair having unexpectedly had this additional light thrown upon it from such a quarter, there can be no objection to going a little fur ther into it. And it may be observed at starting that the history here given of the transactions of the United States Bank is calculated to damage it much more than anything we have ever said about it. " It is known," it seems, that it has undertaken " to support certain other Banks of the United States," of what quality plainly appears from what follows—" that when they called in such advances they found difficulty in getting them," which means that they gave support where it was wrong to do so. But whence were the means of support to these rotten banks derived From Eng land, to be sure, from the " post note's" of the United States Bank " payable in England," and with which this Market has been filled to repletion in the course of the last 18 months. Mr. Jaudon, the agent of the bank, was in that respect, abundantly diligent and efficient. Now that the market for these bonds has been utterly spoiled and ruined, by the rise in the value of money and other circumstances, there comes, at the eleventh hour, and after every other resource has been tried and exhausted, this "arrangement" with Messrs. Hope and Co., of Amsterdam. But the question vi ill naturally arise, and form attention, what necessity there was for any " arrangement " at all ? There were some bad debts, confessedly. on the other side, but the " thirty five million bank," as it is called,on the spot, could have no difficulty in remitting and in making provision for the bonds circulated here, for which English money had been received, without making an " arrangement" in Amsterdam for the purpose. Thus it is, however, that the Bank of England, in pretending to defend, damages and lays prostrate its would-be rival and imitator in the United States. How is it, we may go on to ask, that Mr. Jaudon's Bank " has had upwards of a million and a half ster ling to provide for" the whole confessedly, without the A question may be put, as to the wind-up of the affair, to the Bank of England, which is—whether the discount of the bills drawn against the hypothecated cotton of Messrs. Humphreys and Biddle could be called, strictly speaking, an accommodation to the Bank of the United States ! Banks of all kinds have no business to be borrowers of money beyond the first raising, if that may be called so, of their capital. Their trade is lending., and when they depart from it they become justly exposed to sus picion and to obloquy. As a commentary on the above statements, referring to what is passing here, nothing can be more oppor tune than the annexed extract from the New York Evening Post of the 24th August, received this morning, descriptive of the storm which is brewing connected with the same subject, in the United States : " The merchants of this city and Philadelphia feel the severity of the times, but are puzzled to know to what cause to ascribe it. They are like a blind man in the street struck by a brickbat ; they feel themselves hurt and bruised, but see not the hand that dealt the blow. It seems to them a stale and poor fetch, after all, to ascribe it to the Administration. " The following statement has been drawn up by a person whose situation has given him an opportunity to observe the proceedings of the banks which have engaged in the cotton monopoly. The extent to which they were concerned in that unlucky speculation was already known, but the manner in which they had involved themselves in the unfortunate affairs of the south western banks has not before been disclosed. The first of these errors led to the second, and both have had the effect of disturbing and confounding the natural course of trade. No wonder, when these great associations enter upon the business of buying and selling merchandise— no wonder that the regular merchant, with his compa ratively small resources, is crushed under their footsteps. " The winding up of these transactions is yet to come, but it is approaching. From all appearances it is likely to be one which the community will acqui esce in without regret, and which will again leave the field of commerce open to individuals. " THE PRESENT PRESSURE AND ITS CAUSE.—The disasters which are now grinding the business men in this city and Philadelphia have been produced solely by the speculations in Wall-street and Chestnut-street ; but more particularly the latter, as their operations were on a gigantic scale. In 1837 and 1838 Mr. Biddle threw a large amount of funds iuto the south, and in vested them in cotton. He sent his son, a youth of about twenty years of age, and an unsuccessful mer chant, May Humphreys, to Liverpool to sell this cotton, and to transact a general commission business. This mushroom-house, though new, and without a knowledge either of the business or the people of Eng land, at once obtained a larger amount of business than W. and J. Browne and Co., the Barings, the Lizardis, or any of the old established and substantial houses of 'that great commercial mart. Early in 1838 it was dis. covered that the cotton crop would be short, that Mr. Biddle held up a large amount of the previous crop. In the meantime he, by granting facilities to southern banks, induced them to make advances on cotton, and ship a large portion of it to his son's house in Liverpool, which would more effectually enable him to control the cotton market, and carry out the principles of monopoly which the Wall-street bankers had so successfully maintained for three or four years in the flour trade. But, as all monopolies must be maintained by extending the sphere of their operations, Mr. Biddle found it necessary to strengthen the southern banks, which had, as his indi rect agents, swindled the planters out of their cotton to be sacrificed in Liverpool at their expense, while they were compelled to receive depreciated and depreciating paper for their labour. These banks had lost their character, their paper had fallen 28 per cent. iielow par in the summer of 1838, and it was seen at once that they could not obtain control of the last crop, unless they would resume specie payments and raise the value of their paper. " Under these circumstances foreign capitalists would have flocked to the south and purchased the cotton at a fair price, and thus, by throwing it into the Liver pool market, would have compelled Mr. Biddle to do the same or borrow money and risk the market another year. Accordingly, Mr. Biddle, in August and Sep tember, 1838, commenced rebuilding the southern banks that had engaged in the cotton trade, and he pur chased the bonds of others to enable them to go into operations, and to continue the cotton monopoly. He and a few of his gambling associates in Philadelphia, principally the officers of the Girard Bank, commenced the purchase of state and bank bonds, and in one week they invested about 10,000,000 dollars in the state of Mississippi. 5,000,000 dollars of this money, on credit, were distributed among four insolvent banks at a nomi nal interest of 7 per cent., to be repaid in three annual instalments. These banks were the Commercial and Railroad Bank of Vicksburg, the Planters, the Agri cultural and Commercial Bank of Natchez ; the former has again suspended, and it is believed that not one of them can now pay the interest, much less the first instal ment which we believe is due about this time. Be sides, the Agricultural and the Planters' Bank of Natchez owe the Federal Government nearly a million dollars, and the Government owe it to the people to force its collection,.and to that extent, at least , abridge l‘ the power of the unprincipled speculator s. In Biddle and his pur chasing the bonds of these banks, I r. compeers had other strong personal in ducements. They had purchased an immens e amount teo peration they were of their notes at 28 per cent. discount, and by the enabled to use it at par. Though the Philadelphia banks no doubt furnished the funds to purchase this Mississippi money, yet the stockholders, we opine, re ceived no portion of the profi ts. " The other 5,000,000 dollars were invested i n Mis sissippi State Bonds t o establish the Uni on B an k at Jackson, and in one month th is new institution was flooding the country with post notes, and was found also in the cotton trade, advancing 60 dollars a bale. By thus holding back the crop, Mr. Biddle might be en abled to realize a large profit on the cotton of 1837 and 1838, which he had purchased ; and in the mean time the planters of the south would be left to bear the whole of the loss that might result from a falling mar ket, after the monopoly bad become too heavy for the credit system and the gambling system to sustain it any longer. Well, this Union Bank is now prostrate ; though not a year in operation, and commencing with 5,000,000 dollars of capital, its paper will not now sell THE HALIFAX MAIL.—The Lapwing. packet, Lieutenant Coghlan, arrived at Falmouth on Friday eves,- ing with the Halifax mails, having sailed on the 28th cif August. She does not bring any news of importance. On Sunday two youths, named Jones, nephews of a wheelwright, at Downtoe Castle, Herefordshire, went with a younger boy in a boat for a little recreation ; the water being much out, and the stream consequently very strong, the boat became unmanageable, and ultimately swamped. The elder youth, being a good swimmer, en deavoured to save his cousin, but perished with him, whilst the boy was driven to the bridge pier, to which he held until assistance arrived.— Worcester Journal. The loungers at the watering-places in search of health or amusement, will be delighted to learn that two most laughable volumes from the pen of Mr. Poole, have just appeared, under the title of " Little Pedlingtou and the Pedlingtonians," in which, with peculiar ,'elicity, he has adapted all the prominent characteristics of sociel life to an imaginary town and its inhabitants in a manner so true to nature, that every reader, wherever he may be at the lime, will fancy himself in Little Pedlington itself; and w:t►i se much humour and Protean-like fidelity, that every dual, however odd and original, who may be encountered, will seem to have supplied the author with a prototype. But what renders the characters and scenes still more piquant is, that however peculiarly and exclusively adapted they may seem to be to the Little Pedlingtons and Pedlingtonians, throughout the empire, their satire is, in fact, directed against the doings of the great metropolis itself ; so that while the Londoners are enjoying the laugh against the provincials, they, in their turn, with equal, if not more justice, will apply the joke to them. CAUTION TO ACCOECHERS.—In the course of an inquest held on Saturday last at the Euston Arms, Melton-street, Euston-square, Mr. Wakley said that that was the first inquest which had ever been held on a woman who had died in childbirth. Coroners bad hitherto con sidered that inquests were unnecessary in such cases ; but as the law required that they should be held on all persons who died suddenly, he felt it an imperative duty to insti tute an inquiry into every case iu which a person died in, or immediately after childbirth. Parturition was not a disease, and therefore it did not follow that all persons who died in the act died from natural causes. Cases had no doubt frequently occurred in which, on account of certain peculiarities in the constitutions of the patients, it was beyond the skill of the most experienced accoucheur to preserve their lives; but he regretted to say that he had witnessed many instances in which the lives of females had been sacrificed by the negligence and inexperience of their medical attendants. Many surgeons who took pupils with large premiums for the purpose of instructing_ them in midwifery, were in the habit of paying poor women to allow them to deliver them in the presence of their pupils. This was, indeed, the only means by which a practical know ledge of this branch of the profession could be obtainee.i. and its adoption would be highly commendable if the surgeons invariably accompanied their pupils to the bedsides of their patients. They had, however, frequently sent their pupils by themselves to attend women an this critical situation, and many lives had been lost from a want of proper skill and attention. The holding bf inquests in childbirth cases would no doubt put an end to this repre hensible practice, drive from the medical profession a hose of ignorant pretenders, and make even experienced sur. gems more cautious in their practice. _ . WHIRLWIND.—On Saturday afternoon, a fu rious whirlwind passed over a tract of ground in the neighbourhood of Holmfirth. Its effects mere first noticed on the moors above Vepworth, where a person, who was riding on horseback, was swept from the saddle to a distance of some yards. When it arrived at Hepworth, it played a singular prank, to the astonishment of a woman who had been washing some croekeryware, and which sh• had just placed in an inverted position on a wall in front of her dwelling-house. Hcr pots, appearing as if instinct with life, mounted the air like paper kites ; were clashed against one another and whirled away in floating frag ments. The phenomenon's rapid and powerful passage was next observed by its destroying a large oak tree which stood near to the residence and was the property of Mr. P. Roebuck, which in a moment was " Dash'd down, and scatter'd by the tearing wind's Assiduous fury. Its gigantic limbs were twisted round as easily as a basket maker twists his withes. A horse that was sheltering underneath it galloped off in an indescribable fright, but was not hurt. A large ash tree, grow'ng near the same place, had its top taken off and erried to a considerable distance ; and, as the wind rushed down the valley, several other trees of a more flexible structure were bent to the earth, but recovered to their position. It had now got to the foot of a lofty hill called Cheese gate Nab, where runs a considerable stream of water. Here the passive element was swept from its course and wheeled into the air in dense sheets, which were visible for some time, but at length they were lashed into foam and blended with the falling rain. It is probable that the bill bad some influence on the airy rioter's progress, for nothing further is known of its playful or destructive pranks.—Ha Vex Express. DEATH FROM SUFFOCATION.—A melancholy event took place, on Saturday last, at New House, near Newnham, the residence of John Waite, Esq. In the absence, and without the knowledge of Mr. Waite, a man in his employ, named Charles Coleman, proceeded to clean out a largo cask or vat, holding 2,500 gallons, and which was eleven feet deep, the contents of which, con sisting of cider, bad been drawn off about six weeks be fore. Although the usual precautionary measures' bad been taken of lowering down lighted candles, the instanta neous extinguishing of which incontestibly proved the ex istence of foul air, Coleman, with fatal temerity and against the remonstrances of several bystanders, persisted in carry ing his intention into effect, saying that by the help of God he would go down. The enly means of access to the interior of the cask was by a square trap or aperture at the top, and, a ladder being let down, Coleman com menced his descent, but ere he had taken many steps the carbonic acid gas overpowered bim; and be sank life less to the bottom. A spectator, named James Johnson, with more humanity than prudence, deter mined to endeavour to save the poor fellow, and melancholy to relate, shared the same fate. A third person then made an effort to afford assistance, and was with difficulty rescued by persons who were by from being involved in a similar calamity. From the construc tion of the vessel the only mode of extracting the two un fortunate men was by cutting the cask to immediately done with axes, &c., but wPibeecnesiaGNykileniutchhcooesuwuttga:ihr; was found that the vital spark was totally extinct, surgical assistance was promptly secured.
