One of the overmen was in the pit at the time, and on hearing the explosion ho ran in the direction whence the noise proceeded, in order to ascertain the cause, when he met the rush of the fire, which carried him along in its scorching embrace till death terminated his agony. His body was found a calcined mass. The event has created a deep sensation throughout the dis trict, and thousands have visited the locality from a dis tance, making inquiries and dwelling with painful interest on the dreadful details. A coroner's inquest has been formally opened on the bodies of the unfortunate sufferers; but the inquiry can not be proceeded with until a communication has been made to the Secretary of State for the Home Depart ment, according to the pro►isions of a late Act. After viewing the bodies, therefore, the coroner will give an order for their interment, and adjourn the inquest. 'HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. THE GRIND NATIONAL CONCERTS.

The firm and decided, the bold and uncompro mising letter of Lord JOHN RUSSELL has already produced the most wholesome and salutary effects among all classes in the country, while it has elicited an earnest response from every true Protestant. While the faithful members of the Church of England, the honest Presbyterian, and the sturdy and independant Dissenter vie with each other in the expression of their unflinching determination to defend the civil and religious liberties for which their forefathers so nobly and so vigorously contended, as well against the invasion of a foreign potentate as again the aggres sion of a domestic enemy—the sincere, conscientious Roman Catholic feels deep regret at the reckless move ment of the Papal Court, which is calculated to re vive at a most inopportune period the unfortunate dissensions and religious animosities that formerly prevailed, and which were so deeply injurious to the best interests of his native land:" Never was a time in every respect more infelicitous selected for a great politico-religious act than that chosen by the POPE for the assertion of his long dormant claims to religious supremacy in Great: Britain. The penal code, that foul blot on the national escutcheon, had long been erased from our statute-book. The utmost degree of civil and re ligious freedom was conceded to our Roman Catholic brethren. Not only was the widest, the most liberal toleration, extended to the professors of that creed, but they were placed on a footing of perfect equality with their Protestant fellow-subjects. This was not; only just and equitable in itself ; fur we still maintain, as we have ever strenu ously asserted, the gross impropriety of every religious disqualification, of every interference between a man and his CREATOR, whom he should be at liberty to worship in the mode which, in hie soul and con science, he deemed most fitting—but it was due to the exemplary: conduct, the unwavering loyalty of the parties themselves during a period of persecution which, if it could not justify, would go far to palliate the adoption of a very different course. All disputes, however, had been happily terminated, the torch of discord had been quenched, society was no longer divided into two great classes, the persecutors and the persecuted. For the first time for centuries we might be regarded as a:united people, nay, more, an attempt was made to draw the nations and creeds of the earth into closer communion—the admirable suggestion of our illustrious PRINCE CONSORT was about to be carried out on a scale of magnitude and splendour befitting its, vast importance—a congress was about to assemble in the British metropolis, not of despots or their tools for the purpose of restraining the liberties of any country, or retarding " the march of intellect,' ;but of the people themselves, in order to promote universal peace and civilization, improve ment in the arts and sciences, and that friendly emu lation that is always productive of the most satisfac tory results ; and yet it was on the eve of this great solemnity that Pio Noxo, who had so recently been restored to his throne and palace at the Vatican by the intervention of foreign bayonets, who found himself powerless to control his own subjects, thought proper to rekindle the extinguished brand, to fling the fatal apple on our peaceful shores, and to revive the forgotten dissensions by an act, or rather acts—for; we have already shown that the division of England into Romish sees was the third aggression perpetrated within the present year—which he must have well known would be not merely distasteful, but absolutely repugnant to the feelings of the great ma jority of the British nation. This was an injudicious, an ill-advised movement. A more impolitic -course, one less to be justified under the peculiar circumstances of the case, can scarcely be imagined. There was everything against nothing in its favour, unless the schism created in the Established Church by the persecution of the Rev. Mr. GORHAM, and the Puseyite predilections of a certain portion of the clergy, could have led to the supposition that the Church of England was tottering on its foundation!, and that nothing but a sharp attack was wanting to complete its overthrow. What was the condition of the Roman Catholics in England before the establishment of the new hie rarchy ? We have it on unimpeachable authority, which the Roman Catholics will be the last to impugn—no less than the newly-appointed Car dinal and Archbishopi of Westminster, Dr. Wisamais himself. The Rev. Doctor informed us, that "where the succession of the Catholic hierarchy has been interrupted, as: in England, or never been established, as in Australia or some parts of India, the bishops who superintend the Catholic Church, and represent the Papal authority, are known by the name of vicars apo.tolic." These vicars it appears, generally, but not invariably, receive episcopal consecration, and " as, from local circumstances, it is not thought expedient th . at they should bear the titles of the sees which they administer, they are ap pointed with the titles of ancient bishoprics now in the hands of the infidels, and thus are called bishops in partibus infidelium." If these vicars were for many successive ages enabled to preserve the faith and preside over the Roman Catholics of England, whence the necessity of any change ? Why should the people of England be gratuitously offended ? Would not the rose by any other name have smelled as sweet? There must be something in it more than meets the eye, some deep design, not fully promul gated. Our doubts are, however, resolved by the Cardinal. He tells us that— "In all countries possessing a hierarchy, the country is divided into parishes, each provided with a parochus or curate, corresponding to the rector or vicar of the English Established Church. The appointment to a parish is vested in the Bishop, who has no power to re move again at will, or for any cause except a canonical offence juridicially proved. . . . Under an apostolic vicariate, the clergy corresponding to the parochial clergy generally bear the title of apostolic missionarie?, and have missions or local districts with variable limits placed under their care; but are dependent upon the will of their ecclesiastical superiors. . . ." We find that a further suh ; division of England into parishes, each to be provided " d with a parodies or curate," who will be rendered independent, his position corresponding to that of " the rector or vicar of the English Established Church." We are, then, to have a new state religion, a second ' church establishment in this country. The ministry of Roman Catholic priests will no longer be restricted to the spiritual wants of the professors of that religion. Every district must have its parockus, who will bide his time until in a position to claim the temporalities to which he may conceive himself entitled on the nomination of a foreign potentate. The people of England should maturely consider this inevitable consequence of the recent act, the territorial domination that will be claimed by the new body of ecclesiastics in this kingdom. They will no longer be the pastors of congregations requiring their aid, and depending on the voluntary contribu tions of their respective flocks;; they will be incum bents of parishes, who, if not receiving, will, at least, consider themselves entitled to tithes and other ecclesiastical emoluments. This is indeed an im portant change, the consequences whereof can scarcely be calculated or foreseen. It is at all events right that the people should be warned in time, that they may be fully aware of the real nature of that which they must strenuously resist or humbly submit to. There is, perhaps, no medium through which the eon tributions of humane and charitably-disposed per sons can be more beneficially distributed than the poor-boxes of the different police-courts of the me tropolis. Cases of the most melancholy and heart rending description are of almost daily occurrence, and an amount of misery and wretchedness is brought to light that would, if generally known, astonish those who are in the enjoyment of all the comforts and many of the luxuries of life, so far, at least, as they can be procured by money, and who know nothing of the extremity of suffering which many of their fellow creatures are continually enduring. It is highly creditable to the general body of magistrates that they have become the voluntary almoners of the public bounty, and have willingly assumed the duty, not at all times of the most agreeable description, of investi gating the characters and claims of the various appli cants for relief, and deciding as to the application of the funds at their disposal. And generally speak ing—although there are exceptions to every rule— the duty has been admirably performed. Where the magistrate is a man of a naturally kind heart and humane disposition, not one of the rigidly righteous, who could make no allowance for the weakness and imperfections of mortality, there is nothing to be de sired, and we feel justified in asserting that in the majority of districts greater practical benefits have been conferred on the needy and destitute than could be effected by double the amount of money dis tributed through other channels. It is then because we are convinced of the excellence of the charity that we feel it essential to censure the fantastic tricks that have recently been attempted, and to protest against the new rules which, in some cases, have been made, and which are calculated t o t urn t h e stream o f c h ar i ty to other, and perhaps less eli g ibl e , quarters. The benefactions heretofore sent to the police-court have been of two kinds—general or particular. Con tributions sent to the "poor-box," are of the former description, the benevolent donors leaving the ap plication entirely to the discretion of the presiding magistrates, who, under the conditions of the gift, are entitled to select the objects fur relief at their mere will and pleasure, without anything to control or go vern their decisions. There are, however, so many claims upon this fund, that only small sums —rarely exceeding a few shillings, and seldom indeed amount ing,to a sovereign—can be allotted to a single family, however great its destitution, or urgent the emergency in which it may be involved. Occasionally cases are brought under the public notice of such a character as to require a greater amount of assistance than the magistrates could - bestow out of the poor-box, in jus tice to the numerous and pressing demands upon their resources. In these peculiarly distressing cases the public benevolence is really appealed to in vain. Sub scriptions flow inp not unfrequently, to an amount exceeding the actual loss or injury sustained, suffi cient, not merely to re-instate the sufferers in their former positions, but often to render them compara tively independent, and, with reasonable industry, to place them beyond the reach of future temptations similar to those to which they may have yielded in moments of intense anguish, under trials of no ordi nary magnitude , We confess that we rejoice at these noble illustrations of the practical benevolence of our fellow-citi,ens, we feel proud of our country and glory in the name of Englishmen ; we believe that nothing more injudicious, more injurious to the best interests of society, could be devised than the checking of tills stream of beneficence, except in very unworthy cases, where the party for whose especial benefit the donations were sent in proved utterly unworthy of relief, not from a single error, but from habitual ill conduct. In such cases the magistrates may be justified in declining any par ticipation, and refusing to be made the medium through which the contributions may be conveyed to unworthy recipients. But such a course should never be adopted on light or frivolous grounds, with out ample reasons to justify. t o sacred trust is con fided to their hands, which should not be lightly vio lated or disregarded. Some time since we felt it to be our painful duty to comment severely upon the course pursued by the magistrates of the Thames Police court, Messrs. YARDLEY and INGHAM, in the case of the unfortunate sempstress ROSINA HER- BERT, whose lamentable privations so deeply attracted public sympathy. The poor creature had by almost unceasing toil supported her unemployed husband and two children, making shirts at seven farthings each, and earning about 3s. or 3s. Gd. per week, until, driven by the extremity of distress, she had pawned some of the shirts entrusted to her charg e to obtain food for her starving children. Sums amounting in the whole to more than 431. were sent in for her benefit, but the magistrate refused, as we conceived, on most inadequate grounds, to apply the funds to the purposes indicated by the donors, and confiscated the whole amount to the poor-box, leaving an option, however, to the parties by whom they had been forwarded to reclaim their several remittances within a month. Poor ROSINA. was sent back to her miserable home to endure a continuance of the biting poverty under which she had so long pined. Some small sums were, however, forwarded through other channels, although much less than had been sent to Messrs. INGHAM and YARDLEY. These gentlemen, however, promulgated a new rule on the occasion. They declared that they would thenceforth " never receive a single farthing for the relief of a particular individual, unless it was stipu lated that the donation should be applied at their dis cretion to the relief of deserving persons." We be lieve that the poor-box of the Thames Police-court has not benefited, nor is it likely to benefit, by this resolution. The magistrates had undoubtedly a right to make it as to future donations, but it appeared to be by no means a judicious course, and one which we should deeply regret to see generally followed. We now observe that Mr. A'BECKETT has declared his intention of adopting a similar rule. He has also withheld a portion of the money forwarded for the relief of a family named BERRINGTON, against whom no crime could be alleged, and whose losses were occasioned by an accidental fire. It is, however, but justice to the Learned Gentleman to state that he has only reserved the matter: for, a week, as he will on Mon day next distribute the funds according to the inten► tions which may be expressed by the donors in the interim. But his determination as to not receiving money for specific purposes remains unaltered ; w e would implore the Learned Gentleman to alter his purpose, and not to inflict so heavy a blow and grievous discouragement to the benevo lence of his fellow-citizens. It is at all events desirable that the matter should. be placed upon a proper footing, and that the practice in all the courts should be assimilated, and the conditions upon which benefactions will be henceforward received at all the offices may be made fully known to the public, We would therefore suggest a general meeting of all the metropolitan magistrates, that the subject may be fully discussed and maturely considered. If this be done we have but little doubt that Messrs. YARDLEY, INGHAM, and A'BECKETT will yield to the remon strances of their brother magistrates, and announce their determination to rescind the objectionable rule as one " more honoured in the breach than in the ob servance." THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Assembly met yesterday, and M. DUPIN was elected President for the next three months by 383 out of 574 votes. The numbers were — M. DTJPIN 383 M. MATTHIEU DE LA DROME ...... 121 M. MtcHEL DE BOURGES 33 At half after three o'clock M. Banocur, the Minister of the Interior, ascended the tribune, and read to the Assembly the annual message of the PRESIDENT of the Republic. The Message towards the conclusion alludes in very guarded terms to the question of the revision of the Consti tution, which has been demanc'•ed by several of the Councils-General of Departments, at the same time the PRESIDENT implicitly states that he is bound by oath to respect the Constitution. This last portion was received with loud applause, as were those parts of the message which related to the return of the POPE to Rome, to the creation of three new French Cardinals, to the pacific foreign policy, which the PRESIDENT declared he was determined to adopt, and to the continuance of friendly relations with England. The hoax practised by the Presse on Monday, by the publication of an alleged Message of the PRESI DENT, consisting of extracts from the published works of Louis NAPOLEON BONAPARTE in favour of certain Socialist doctrines, appears to have met with a suc cess which seems utterly unaccountable. Even on the Bourse the shrewd agioteurs were taken in, and imagined that the PRESIDENT had turned Socialist, and had appointed M. EMILE DE GIRARDIN his Mi nister of the _lnterior. The funds fell considerably, and did not regain their buoyancy until the following note, signed by the Commissary of the Bourse, was posted up at that building : " The pretended Message of the President of the Republic to the Legislative Assembly, published this morning in the Presse, is a document cotnriletelY apo cryphal. That journal has just been seized." The Patrie and Moxiteur du Soir publish the fol lowing communicated notes : " The Procureur of the Republic has to-day caused to be seized at the Post-office and in its offices the journal La Presse, in consequence of an article bearing the title Itentris de l'Assembl6s Nationale,' which contains a document intituled Message du President de la Repub lique a l'Assernble Nationale,' and signed L. N. Bona parte. Proceedings have been ordered against the responsible editor of the Presse on a charge of publish ing false statements, and a falsified and lying document, attributed to a third party, and which news and docu ment were of a nature to disturb the public peace. " The article published this morning by the Presse, under the title of "Message du President de la Repub lique a l'Assembli3 Legislative,' is nothing more than an assemblage of fragments borrowed from various pub lications made at different periods by the President. Public opinion will judge of the good faith displayed in such a compilation." _ _ The controversy relating to the alleged Bonapartist plot for the assassination of General CHANGARNIER and M. DurzN still continues. A proposition was laid on the table of the Assembly on Monday, for the pay ment by the Assembly of the salary of M. YoN. This proposition is signed by the Questors, which gives to it a sgecies of - official character; on the other hand, M. CALLER, the Prefect of Police, has addressed the following letter to the evening Ministerial journals : " Different journals having, either in consequence of erroneous information, or under the empire of particular feelings, misrepresented recent facts which concern my responsibility and my duties, I am anxious to explain the simple truth. M. Yon is a Commissary of Police pf the city of Paris and officer of the Judicial Police. He was detached by the Prefecture of Police, and placed at the disposal of the President of the National Assembly for the internal police of that building. In that position he became acquainted with an imaginary or serious plot which aimed at nothing less than the assassination of the two personages, next to the President of the Republic, the most important in France. Instead of making known this conspiracy to the Prefect of Police and to th e Procu reur of the Republic, in order that the guilty parties might have been arrested, prosecuted, or at least have been watched, he kept this monstrous project such a pro found secret that it was :only through the medium of a journal that I became acquainted with facts which greatly agitated the whole of Paris, the security of which is placed under my guardianship. M. Yon has, therefore, seriously failed in his duty, and I have fulfilled mine by punishing him by the retention of his salary. As far as regards the fact of the conspiracy, I again declare that it never existed except in the imagination of M. Yon. It was my most urgent daty to contradict it, and I have done so after a serious inquiry, which leaves no room for contradiction. It is not correct to say that the au thorities have taken the matter up in consequence of the pieces. verbal of M. Yon. It was done by the Govern ment; and when M. Yon presented his proses verbal to the Parquet, an examining magistrate had already commence the affair, and had examined witnesses. Such is the true statement of the facts of the case." In contradiction of the assertion of M. CAELIER, that the conspiracy existed only in the imagination of M. YON, the Ordre says— " It is the Society des Anis do l'Ordre et de l'Hurca nit e which furnished the twenty-six fanatics who met so recently in the Rue des Saussaies, and in their secret tribunal disclosed their designs against General Chan gamier and M. Dupin by drawing lots from the casquette of one of the members present for the - names of the men who should be charged with the execution of this odious project. The name of the man is known on whom de volved the abominable mission of making an attempt on the life of the Commander-in• Chief of the army of Paris. The names of the persons present are also known, and the law officers are is possession of all the facts." The following official " communicated" paragraph n reference to this society appears in the Ministerial ournals "M. Pillon, director of the Society des Amis de l'Ordre et de l'llumaniti, No. 9, Faubourg Montmartre, where a visit has just been made by the police, declares, in a letter addressed to the journals, that that society is not unlawful, as had been announced, inasmuch as it is authorised and registered at the Prefecture of Police under No. 106, 2d series. The society in question has been declared and registered at the Prefecture of Police as a benevolent society; but there had been a false de claration made on the part of the director, for the so ciety was essentially a political one, The meetings of the Society des Amis d 3 l'Ordre et de l'ilumanit4 were therefore interdicted as being illegal political meetings." The Prasse has the following remarks on its seizure of Monday : "The Presse was seized yesterday. Why? For having published under the title of Message of the Pre sident of the Republic to the Legislative Assembly,' a document composed exclusively of quotations taken from the remarkable volumes which compose M. Louis Napo leon Bonaparte's works. The requisitory contains the following incredible language:—' Accused of having, in inserting the said article, published with bad faith a false piece of news, and a document falsified and lyingly attributed to a third party, the said news and docu ment being of a nature to trouble the public peace.' Trouble the public peace! By what? By the reim pression of quotations which had been printed, litho graphed, and distributed in millions of copies during the two months preceding the 10th October and the 10th December, 1848, quotations which contributed to swell the number of votes given to M. Louis Napo leon Bonaparte ? Trouble public peace! Can it be that what was inoffensive before the election of M. Louis Napoleon Bonaparte ceases to be so afterwards? What juries will any one endeavour to persuade that the Pre sident of the Republic is a demagogue and an anarchist, and that he can even have written what could trouble public peace? A. document lyingly attributed to a third party ! Is there in what we have published a single word which does not belong to the President of the Republic, and which he did not write himself ? Sixteen years before the republic was proclaimed in France, he had the merit of writing as follows:—' From the opinions which I thus profess, it is easy to see that my erinciples are altogether republican.' Not a word has been attributed to him which is not really his own. False news! Where is there anything resembling ' news,' false or true, in this work, exclusively philosophical ? Document published with bad faith Could we have sup posed that they who flatter the President had never read his works, and that they would not recognise them at once ? They who :fletter him, do so consequently without having studied his works, whilst we, who never flittered him, know by heart all that he has written; and whenever we are uneasy or discouraged, we seek in his three volumes the proof that persons are leading him astray, and that the real Louis Napoleon Bonaparte is be whose candidateship we supported, and whom we still endeavour to rescue from the present influence to which ha is subjected! In that way is to be expained the title of Message' given to the document publisheA by the Presse yesterday. It was a certain means attempted by us of placing before the eyes of the President of the Republic, what the exile 01 Arenemberg, the prisoner of Ilam, had thought., felt, and written. That object we have fully attained. We persist in maintaining that the true Message is what we published yesterday, for it is that which expresses faithfully the ideas of the elected of Dec. 10, and that the true Message will not be that which is announced to be presented this day to the Le gislative Assembly." We find the following in a Legitimatist journal : " A second meeting of the representatives of the Legitimatist party, w ho hold their sittings in the Rue de Rivoli, took place on Sunday evening. We sincerely regret the result of this meeting, which was not more numerous than the former. M. Leo de Laborde read a proposition which he wished to lay on the bureau of the President, and which had for object the revision of the electoral law. Ile was warmly supported by M. de Laboulie, and opposed by M. Berryer, M. do Kerdrel, and M. Benoist d'Asy. The opinion of the latter pre vailed, the meeting, however, deciding that a committee should be appointed to examine what course should be adopted with regard to this important question. Some members, among whom were Messrs. de Castillon and Net tement, declared themselves in favour of the proposition of the representative of the Vaucluse. If we are well informed the principal reason alleged by M. Berryer was the necessity cf not wounding Orleanist suscepti bilities, in order to bring about an alliance, for which, however, painful and useless sacrifices had already been made. Will the Parliamentary direction inform us whether it is thus that the policy of action recommended at Wiesbaden is to be inaugurated!" It is said that the French Ministers at Berlin, Munich, and Vienna have received orders to tender the mediation of France in conjunction with England and Russia for the settlement of the German dif ferences. The Ordre says :—" Russia has just notified to our Government that its formal intention is to preserve neutrality in the affairs of Germany, with two excep tions :-1. The intervention of a European power. 2. In the event of the integrity of Denmark not being respected."

Paris and Strasbourg, 83. SPAIN. Madrid journals of the 7th inst. have arrived. During the course of the discussion in the Chamber of Deputies on the 6th, Senor MADOZ, one of the few Progresistas who were returned at the last election, attributed the defeat of his party to the use by the Minister of illegitimate influence at the elections. The Minister, in reply, stated that Senor MADOZ and his friends had been treated with all deference by the Government, and that, on Senor MADOZ'S own demand, the corregidor of the place which he repre sents had been dismissed. On this Senor MADOZ suddenly rose, and cried in a loud voice, " Senor C P h r . e a s m i d b e e n r t .

Count BERNSDORFF has ref use d t o acce pt the office of Minister of 'foreign Affairs of Prussia.—ln the meantime Austria seems det erm i ne d t o g o to w a r ; indeed war is necessary to her, in order to enable her troops to maintain themselves by plunder, seeing that in the present bankrupt state of her finances it is ut terly impossible for her to maintain them herself. Troops have been ordered up fr om th e military, frontiers, and the Austrian fleet at Trieste h a y re ceived orders to hold itself in readiness to proceed to the Baltic. The Austrian Ultimatum, according to a statement in' the Kolner Zeitmg, is that Austria will accede t o the free conferences , if Prussia consents within eight days to evacuate Electoral Hesse, and within six weeks to withdraw her garrisons from Hamburgh and the Grand Duchy of Baden, and to make a formal and solemn renunciation of the League. Baron ILIZ OPESCE , the Austrian Ambassador at Berlin, is instructed to leave that city if compliance with these demands be refused. o t f stamp Este, died General LUDEES has arrived at Viennparetsosesathteanvde the consultation of the Austrian Generals.

E G ltD ov i e s r:n A letter of the 6th from Vienna, in the Dresden Gazette, states that in the event of war breaki ng out between Prussia and Austria, the Austro-Bavarian army would unite with that of Saxony. A telegraphic dispatch from Vienna of the Bth, quoted by the German Relerm, states that th e fe deral intervention in Schleswig-Holstein is to take place before the com mencement of the wint er season . The Postampt Gazette of Frankfort, of the 10th, announces the arrival of the two couriers from Eisenach, who had been retarded in their passage through Fulda. They have confirmed the account of the retreat of the Prussians from that place, by the route of Huhnfeld, Neu Kirchen, and Hersfelden, which is open to them in virtue of the existi n g treaties. The federal troops occupied Fulda a few hours later. The N assau G a zette contradicts the statement that Nassau would abandon the Prussian Union, and says, on the contrary, that it was about to send its contin gent of troops to join the Prussian army. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. The Ilamburgh Borsenhalle says,—" We can state on good authority that 12,000 men of the Bohemian corps darmie have been already selected for the purpose of interfering in carrying out the stipulations of peace in Schleswig-Holstein, in the name of the I3und. They are to proceed direct to Altona, vid Bavaria, Hesse, and Hanover, and thus avoid treading upon russian territory. The co-operation of Hanover in carrying this out is confidently ex , petted. Sir James and Lady Anne M'Kenzie lefc Edin burgh on Saturday, for Floors Castle, the seat of the Duke and Duchess of Roxburghe. AGES OF THE NOBILITY.—The eldest archbishop is the Archbishop of Armagh, aged 77 ; the youngest is the Archbishop ( f York. aged 62.

CITY SEWERS COMMISSION.—Yesterday, in conse quence of the Council Chambers of the Commissioners being occupied for the needful preparations of the Polish Ball, the gentlemen connected with the Court "net simply for the pur pose of adjourning the Court until Tuesday next. CONSUMPTION CURABLE.—Recovery does, now and then, occur in cases of true, consumption. The changes ob served by means of the stethoscope, in the progress of some cases which have ended in recovery, and the examination of the lungs of those who have died of some other malady, show conclusively that tubercular consumption is not necessarily a fatal disease. FOREIGN POTATOES.—The vessel Louise, arrived from Port L'Abbe, has brought 50 tons weight of potatoes, the produce of France. AUSTRALIAN PRODUCE.—The vessel Cornwall, ar rived in the docks from Sydney, New South Wales, has brought 10,000 tin .packages of boiled beef, as part of her cargo, consigned to order. THE BISHOP OF LONDON'S CHARGE.—lnquire at the doors of St. Paul's Cathedral, and you will be told that the Bishop's charge is " twopence."—Purach. Cumous CIRCUMSTANCE.-011 Thursday mornings while the workmen at the Ferryhill station of the Aberdeen Railway were employed removing a bale of American cotton which had just arrived from the south, a strange sound was heard inside the bale, which was forthwith opened by one of the men, who, after digging into the interior of the package, brought to light a live cat, much reduced by hunger and confinement. As the bale was externally to all appearance in the condition in which it had been left by the original packers, it is conjectured that puss had made an involuntary voyage across the Atlantic. She is being well treated, and bids fair to recover.—Edinburgh IVitness. EXTRAORDINARY SHOT.—Thornas Black, one of the Marquis of Lothian's gamekeepers, made rather an ex traordinary shot on the 29th ult., when shooting on the farm of Oxnam Row, in Oxnam Water. A snipe was sprung by him, and marked down. While advancing to the spot, and within a short distance of it, a hare rose, and running straight towards the snipe, put it up, when Black, thinking no doubt, that two were better than one, fired, and killed both at one shot.—Kelso Chronicle. IRISH SUPPLlES.—Nineteen vessels have arrived at the port of London from the Irish ports in two days, laden with grain and general provisions, the produce of the Irish soil. Their collective cargoes comprised 12,095 quarters and 3,395 barrels of oats, 116 qrs. of beans, 13,309 packages of butter, 502 bales and casks of bacon, 50 of hams, 50 of general provisions, 218 of lard, 260 of porter, 183 of eggs, 46 of pork, 21 of honey, 594 of soap, a quantity of fish, live stock of various kinds, and various other productions of the sister country. The arrivals at Liverpool from Ireland, in a week, have comprised 10,583 firkins. 136 half firkins, 570 boxes, and 1,308 other packages of butter; 868 bags, 31 barrels, 180 quarters, and 57 tons weight of wheat ; 1,978 sacks, 2,185 barrels, 688 quarters, and 90 tons of oats; 3,432 sacks 354 loads, and 182 tons of oatmeal, 455 sacks of barley, 942 packages of linen and cottons, 179 of hams and bacon, 149 of pork, and a large quantity of farina, seeds, meal, beans, peas, lard, beef, tongues, flour, and general provisions. A NOVELTY.—At the Bristol Police-court yester day (Tuesday), th 2 jurisdiction of which extends over 200,000 inhabitants, there was not a single entry on the police charge-sheets. The circumstance was noticed in terms of commendation by the magistrates present. MAILS FOR MADEIRA, Rio JANEIRO, &C.—Her Majesty's steam-vessel Wasp, with mails for Madeira, San Nicholas (Cape de Verde), St. Vincent, Sierra Leone, and the Island of Ascension, and her Majesty's steam-sloop Geyser, with mails and dispatches for Rio de Janeiro, have been further detained at Devonport. Letters and newspapers intended to be sent by these vessels will be in time this even ing, the 13th inst. SINECURE BENEFICES.—A further return to Par liament was yesterday printed respecting sinecure benefices. It contains one benefice in the diocese of Exeter, at Erming ham, of the value of 2701. a year, where the population is 1,607. There is a vicarage endowed and a parish church. With the former returns it appears that there are " sixty one" sinecure benefices, besides others in returns presented to Parliament on former occasions, showing in the aggregate a considerable value and a great population. THE LATE LAMENTABLE ACCIDENT AT THE ABERYSTWYTH MINER—Two more of the seven unfortunate men who met with the recent dreadful accident at the Lis burne mines have died from the effects of the explosion. The three poor miners who died almost instantaneously were of one family—a father and two sons—and their funeral was a sad spectacle. The remaining two sufferers continue in a dreadful state. CAUDINAL WISEMAN.—The announcement in yes terday's paper of the sudden and unexpecte d arr i va l of Car dinal Wiseman in the metropolis occasioned considerable in terest among Catholics and Protestants, and at an early hour a large number of respectably-attired persons, of both per suasions, assembled round St. George's Chapel, in the ex pectation of catching a glimpse of the newly-created Arch bishop, and many, anticipating that he would officiate during the early morning service, entered the edifice; but they were doomed to disappointment, as the Cardinal not only did not attend the service, but had not arrived at his temporary re sidence up to the departure of those who were induced by curiosity to attend. Exactly at eleven o'clock. however, a private carriage, drawn by a pair of greys, was driven to the entrance of the clergyman's residence attached to St. George's Chapel, from which the Cardinal alightisd, attended by his chaplain, who carried a small leather portmanteau and a large packet of letters. His eminence, who appeared in excellent health, was enveloped in a large blue cloak, and had a superbly bound Roman missal in his hand. Cuaious BATTLE.—The following account of a conflict between a snake and a musk rat has been supplied us by an eye-witness; the snake was, we presume, not poisonous —a circumstance known in all likelihood to its as sailant ;—" I saw a combat between a small snake and a musk rat, the latter having hold of the tail of the reptile and shaking it vigorously, the snake making great exertions to get away from its foe, occasionally turning its head half round towards its enemy. Five or six persons were wit nesses of the fun, but the rat was so intent upon his work that no notice whatever was taken of the bystanders ; at last the snake made for one of the doors, and in spite of the efforts of the rat, managed to get between the edge of the door (which was shut) and the sill, and so escaped. The rat hunted backwards and forwards, as a dog would have done after a hare or rabbit, and when we moved to see what had become of the snake, the rat departed according to its cus tom."—Bombay Times. DESTITUTION IN THE ISLES OF SCOTLAND,—The last accounts from the West Highlands and Isles announce the failure of the potato crop to a very considerable extent, and the probability that severe and very general di s t ress w ill prevail early in 1851, particularlyin some of the islands and the coasts of Ross and Inverness. It is grievous to think, says the Perth Courier, that the m un ifi cent f un d wh i ch the liberality of the public put into the hands of the Edinburgh and Glasgow reliefcommittees should have been frittered away mainly in a shape which could afford temporary assistance, and was much liable to be abused by recipients who were im proper objects of charity. On the other hand, the application of the Perthshire fund to the permanent improvement of one selected locality in North Uist is such as, while it must be gratifying to the subscribers to know that their liberality is likely to effect much good, ought to encourage similar unuer takings upon a larger scale. THE Loss or THE THRUSH FLAGSHIP.—We have been favoured with the following copy of a letter from Captain Slade, the Commander of the Neire Chef ket, to his brother, F. Slade, Esq. : " Constantinople, Oct. 24, 1850. "My dear Fred.—ln case any erroneous reports about my safety should be in the papers, in connexion with the loss of the Neire Chefket, I write a line to say that I was not in her when she exploded : I was going to her. She was a beau tital 90-gun ship--the ilag-ship. She was moored in the harbour, near the Arsenal ; on either side of her lay a three decker or a 90-gun ship. At half-past nine yesterday morn ing, without any kind of warning, or anything having oc curred to excite suspicion, the powder in her magazine ignited, no one knows how, and she blew up; nor were there more than a dozen barrels of powder on board. The explo sion was just sufficient to separate her sides and lift her decks. She op ene d f orwar d s , b ro k e i n the middle, and sunk bodily. It was all over in three minutes. 500 men perished with her, including 16 officers; 163 men have been saved, of whom 43 are badly wounded. Her band was playing when the explosion took place. We are all is deep affliction for the loss of our comrades.—Yours affectionately, " ADOLPHUS SLADII." NAVIGATING THE AIR.--.We find the following in the Evenement:—" This afternoon, at half-past three o'clock, an experiment took place at the Hippodrome, before some of the representatives of the press, relative to the possibility of directing balloons in the air. A small balloon, made of goldbeater's skin, in the shape of a long fish, and suspended from wooden supporters, was made to go straight against the wind by means of two small wings, to which a semicircular movement was imparted by machinery on the screw prin ciple. The experiment was considered perfectly satisfac tory."—The Opinion Republique says:—" In this experiment we cannot say that a solution of the problem of navigating at will through the air has been come to, but we think that a first step has been made in the matter. The exhibition of M. Arnault, the inventor„ is of a nature to excite public cu• riosity to a high degree." ANOTHER REESMAN STEAMER AIMORE.--REVAL, Nov. I.—The Peterhoff, Russian Government steamer, re cently built at London, is on shore at the south-west of the island of Oesel. She has not suffered much, makes only a little water, and there is every appearance of g e tti ng h er off with prompt and efficient assistance. A courier h as b een dispatched to St. Petersburgh, requesting the assistance of one or two steamers.—Shipping Gazette. GRAND NATIONAL CONCERTS.--The " Quadrille of all Nations," composed expressly for these concerts by Herr Labitzky, and dedicated by special permission t o hi s Royal Highness Prince Albert, will be produced this even ing. We understand that no pains have been spared to render this national quadrille most eflective. The orchestra will consist of upwards of two hundred musicians, in addition to the English and Berlin choruses. How TO DISCOVER AN INCENDIARY.—Streatham has of late been unfortunately visited by those horrid cala mities resulting from the incendiary's hand, an d, i ncre dibl e as it may appear, we are informed that a gentleman standing high as a parish-officer determined to discover the villain, it possible; and for this purpose he came to Trumpington, to consult the celebrated " cunning woman l" Wh a t the result of the mysterious conference was we know not; nor have we heard that any one has been taken up on suspicion, in con sequence of the intelligence given by the " old witch" to the very intelligent gentleman, who has taken such an admirable way of discovering the delinquent. Passengers can go from Dublin to Cork on every Friday, at the low rate of 55., and from Cork to Dublin on every w e dnesday for the like sum. TILE SHARI 1 MARKETS. BRITISH 3 it tILIVAYS.
