TORNADO IN THE BAHAMAS. The following is an extract from a letter dated Nassau, New Providence, _Bahamas :—" Since the date of my last letter we have been vibited by a most awful tornado. On the 30th of March, about noon, a heavy fail of rain, with much thunder and very vivid lightning, passed over the i3land, the wind rapidly veering from one point of the compass to another. Sudthnly there appeared in the south west a densely black cloud, the intervening atm°. sphere assuming a very remarkable appearance, alter nately green and livid. There was then a mornen- tary 'calm, succeeded by a mighty rushing of the elements, as if set in motion from every quarter at the same moment. These were, however, but the precursors or the tornado itself, which burst with such tremendous fury over the adjacent villages of Grants and Baines Town that it carried thence into the sea ove.rything i❑ is way—houses, trees, stone walla, &c. Within a very few minutes 130 dwellings, or orchards, or gardens were wholly or partly laid waste by it ; eight persons were killed on the spot, and many in jured. One singular feature is, that the damage was confined to a space of about 50 yards in width and a mile and a half in length. These villages were oc cupied either by liberated Africans or country-born negroe,.s. Some of the wooden houses of the poor were literally taken up from the ground on which they stood with their inmates (who, in some cases, escaped wholly uninjured) and moved for some dis tance—others were dashed in pieces, and swept away to distant parts of the island. In fact, the roof of one house was found on an island thirty miles off. One poor African woman lost her husband and all her children, house, clothing—in fact, all she had on earth to lose, save her own life. Poor woman! I have never seen the silent anguish of deep affliction more strongly depicted than on her calm submissive countenance. Anything so sudden or so awful in its effects I have never before seen. Sub scriptions have bran set on foot, and the Legislature have voted 7001. This is a very poor colony, how. ever, and we look anxiously to England to extend her munificent kindness to our suffering pc pulation. It is little that we can do among our selves to repair the effect of so serious a visitation. Poor as we are, however, I may mention, that this colony, sympathising with their suffering brethren in Ireland, exerted themselves to the utmost and sent 5001. to the fund for their relief during the famine there. Directions are given for an account to be opened at Messrs. B irnett, Hoare, and Co.'s, Lombard-street, where money may be paid to the account of ' W. H. Hall, Esq., for the Bahama Relief Fund ;'—he is the cashier of our public bank here. We earnestly look to the mother country for succour in our extremity, and pray that we may not be disappointed." 6s f , Ju r sine IC n CIS Wet li n g 0. , s' Ai I ( ' i s ! ro ue MP er' ;k toe' es 25 1 r, and. 1300 Bs wei.

The beautiful and extensive grounds were laid open on the occasion, and being only divided by a wire fence from Richmond-park, the en livening strains of the military band attracted great num bers from the neighbouring villages. The exquisitely spread table of innocent catcs, choice fruits, and other delicacies was adorned by a profusion of decanters of all colours, in vitinr, a trial of their contents. But, though filled from the limpid stream, the merry countenances of the guests gave ample testimony that they did not require the generousjuice of the grape to aid their enjoyment. The company sepa rated at about eleven o'clock. [ADVERTISEMENT.] —BOTANIC WATER AND BEARS' GREASE. —When the hair is becoming thin, and fall ing off, the only effectual remedy, besides shaving the head, is the use of the two above-named articles, applied alter nately, the botanic water to cleanse the roots from scurf, and as a stimulant, and the bears' grease as a nourisher. If any further evidence was required of the virtues of bears' grease for renovating and preserving the hair, Mr. Catlin's account of the quantity used, and the length of hair obtained by some of the North American Indians, would be a sufficient answer. —lto&s & Sobs, 119 and 120, 13ilhopsgate-street, London, who first introduced the use of bears' grease in this country, and who fat alid kill the animals, recommend the public to purchase none other but with their names and address printed on the pot, or the chances are their obtain ing a spurious article. HULL, JUNE 9.—The Swan, arrived here from Greenland, left on the 20th May, and reports as follows : May 4.

The Argo, with 450 seals, 4 tuns; had lost one boat and was very leaky. IMPORTATION OF SUGAR FROM FRANCE.—A vessel has just arrived in the docks from Dunkirk, having on board 5,385 bags of sugar, and comprising the entire cargo, and consigned to order. This is the first instance of a cargo of sugar (doubtless the produce of a more distant part of the globe) having been imported from France since the repealed laws of navigation and importation came into operation, which now renders such an arrival admissible for consump tion in this country. This importation was further of in terest, as being an instance of a British vessel having been employed for purposes not previously allowed. SCAFFOLD ACCIDENT.—OII Monday afternoon, be• tween three and four o'clock, a scaffold, on which seven men were employed, at the new buildings, Calthorpe-street, Camden-town, suddenly gave way, and the whole of them were hurled to the ground from a height of thirty feet. A quantity of building material fell at the same time, and they were hurried beneath it. A number of men set to work, and the poor fellows were speedily extricated. Mr. Pals,,, ,, rave, the builder of Ebury_street, sustained a fracture of both legs. Three of the workmen are so dreadfully injured that there are no hopes of their recovery. The remainder escaped with a few bruises. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT BRISTOL.—An extensive and destructive fire, which placed the ancient parish church of St. James, Bristol, in considerable peril, broke out on Sun day morning last upon an extensive range of premises on St. James' Church Parade in that city, in the occupation of Mr. Stone, silversmith and pawnbroker. These premises, the eastern end of which is built against the western wall of the church, were first discovered to be on fire soon after 3 o'clock by the policeman on the beat, and he immediately gave an alarm and caused the city engine and the engines of the different fire-offices to be brought to the spot. The com bustible nature of a large portion of the stock on the premises, and that part of the warehouse having a great amount of timber in their structure, caused the fire to burn with such intensity as to render it speedily apparent that any efforts to save the bulk of the building would be futile, and the exertions of the persons assisting were conse quently directed to preserving the premises connected on either side, which fortunately escaped with slight damage; but, although the most strenuous exertions were made, the tire could not be got under until the whole of the warehouses with a valuable stock of clothes and an immense number of pledges of various kinds belonging to poor persons, hail been destroyed. The persevering efforts used by the firemen and police constables were successful in preserving the church and a front shop, in which fortunately the greater part of the stock of plate and watches had been deposited. The loss is 'variously estimated at from 5,000'. to 10,0001. Mr. Stone is insured for the premises and stock in two different in surance offices, but the poor persons who own the pledges will have to suffer the loss of all differences between the value of their pawns and what they have received by way of loan upon them. An inquest was held on Tuesday morning, at the Freemasons' Arms, Downshire-bill, Hampstead, on the bodies of Mr. Sibley and Master Barnes, who were unfortunately drowned on the previous Saturday in one of the ponds. Mr. Wakley, sen., the coroner, eommented at some length on the very dangerous state of the ponds belonging to the Hamp stead Water Company, and alluded to the number of acci dents which had occurred each successive year, without in any way producing a corresponding precaution on the part of the water company. He stated that it was his opinion that, it some steps were not taken by the company to prevent similar accidents in future, an action could be brought against the comp any for want of proper caution. After some further remarks on the subject, a verdict of " Accidental death" was returned in both cases, accompanied with a very strong recommendation, amounting almost to a positive injunction, that some steps should be taken to prevent similar accidents in future, and :censuring very severely the want of proper care and caution hitherto shown by the company. CONSECRATION OF ST. BARNABAS Cuunen AND COLLEGE, Ppruco.—On Tuesday one of the most re markable churches ever erected in the metropolis was con- secrated by the Bishop of London, in the presence of the Bishops of Oxford, Salisbury, and Brechin, Archdeacons Thorpe, Manning, and Harrison, the Rev. Dr. Pusey, the Rev. W. Sewell, the Rev. J. Keble, and upwards of 200 other clergymen connected with what is usually termed the High Church party, all of whom appeared in full' canonicals, and presented a very imposing appearance. There were also present the Earl of Carlisle, Earl Nelson, Lord Campden, Lord Fielding, Lord Castlereagh, Sir John Harrington, Bart., Lord John Manners,. M.P., Mr. J. B. Hope, M.P., Mr. Brain ston, M.P., and ottjer noblemen and gentlemen. The new church and college of St. Barnabas are situate in that part of Pimlico which abuts upon Chelsea, and have long been looked upon with, much interest. The internal decorations of the Church are of the most sup.7,rb description, the chan cel being in appearance not unlike that of the Roman Catholic cathedral in St. George's-fields. Under the east ern part of the chancel is a crypt of a very curious construc tion. The windows of the church are of an elaborate cha racter, and have been tilled with stained glass at an expense o f many hundred pounds. The altar, the font, the vessels, the illuminated office, books for the service of the altar, the vestments, the corona lucis on the altar, the eagle of bras., together with many costly ornaments, are the gifts of pri vate individuals. The first stone of the college was laid on St. Barnabas Day, 1846, by the Marquis of Westminster, who gave the site both for the church and college. It is in tended to ed►icate choristers and other youths in the college, and to establish a body of sisters of mercy for parochial visiting. The church is intended to be entirely free, without pews or paid seats. Full choral service was performed by the Rev. T. Helmore and the boys of her Majesty's Chapel Royal, after which a sermon was preached by the Bishop of Loaon. The consecration services are to be continued during the week, the s,trinons to be preached by the bishop of Ox ford, Dr. Pusey, Archdeacon Manning, the Rey. W. Sewell, and the Rev. P. Bennett. It is understood that Mr. A. J. B. Hope, M.P., has been one of the principal contributors W- I wards the new church and college of St. 2araabLs. LITERAT URE. THE DALTO:-. 7 5. No. IL. By Charles Lever. Our acquaintance with the fictitious characters of the narrative is extended in this number to the family of the Onslow. Sir Stafford Onelow, being ill, is hid for a while from our observation, but we obtain some f:.imiliarity with the dispositions of his wife, Lady Hester Onslow, of his children, George and Sydney, and of Dr. Grounsell, his old college mate and physician. Little Hans t a Teta almost killed by trying to rescue one of Ellen Dalton's wooden figures from destruction. Colonel Hoggerstone ob tains an interview, and afterwards cultivates an in timacy with Lady Hester; and the latter personage, by way of dissipating the ennui of her monotonous life at Baden, on going out one stormy night to pay a visit of charity to Haus Roeckle, finds herself sud denly and unexpectedly in the midst of the family cf the Daltons. Here the eighth chapter terminates. SOUTIIEY'S LIFE AND CORRE- SPOND ENCE. Vol. IV. Between 1813 and 1819, or, in other words, between the thirty-ninth and forty-sixth years of Robert Southey'a life, the correspondence compressed into the present volume is comprised. Obviously, therefore, the interest of the work displays in this the latest in • etalment of it a very perceptible increase, the curiosity of the reader being of course enhanced proportionately. In 1813, for example, we can trace through his letters the progress of his poem of " Roderick," and of his splendid biography of the immortal Nelson. It is then, also, that we can watch the effects pro duced upon him by his appointment to the office of Poet Laureate. In 1814 and 1815 he writes a variety of odes as Laureate, and dreams of a variety of literary undertakings. S ) on throughout the subsequent years alluded to, we can distinctly trace the growth of his intellect, the development of his fancy, and the fluctuations of his ambition. Many interesting revelations start upon us, here and there, throughout the correspon dence. Thus we are interested to hear, from Southey himself, when speaking of James Montgomery's new poem, in 1813, that he himself had once planned a poem on the Deluge. Again, it is with some sort of surprise, and almost of incredulity, that we learn from a letter, written by Southey, to Walter Savage Lander, of a comedy, written by that veteran conver sationalist. Fancy a comedy by the author of the Hellenics ! As yet, of ccurse, the manuscript of it has never passed through the hands of the typographer. Southey's pilgrimage to Waterloo is an entertaining episode in the narrative, a narrative uneventful, like almost all the lives of men celebrated in literature. So also is the account of his tour to Switzerland in 1817, prior to which we find him tempted by the offer of a lucrative appointment connected with the Times newspaper. Intimations are given here end there throughout the correspondence of the effects made upon Southey and his brother lakers by Lord Byron's formidable hostility. TLe work altogether promises more and more favourably for itself, as a valuable contribution of materies for the future historian of English literature. A NARRATIVE OF ARCTIC DISCOVERY. By John J. Shillinglazy. Most happily timed, considering the interest in spired as to the fate of Sir John Franklin, whose engraved likeness is prefixed to the volume as its most appropriate frontispiece, this narra tive of Arctic discovery extends from the earliest period to the present. Besides this, it comprises many copious details of the measures adopted by her Majesty's Government for the relief of the missing expedition. The whole history (in itself a glorious episode in our meritinae annals) is penned by Mr. Shillinglaw in a style calculated to secure to it a large amount of popularity. The retrospect recedes to that remote period when distinct details become imperceptible, and the records of the human race lose themselves in the " twilight of fable." The author descants in an agreeable mood of antiquarian gossip upon the results of Scandinavian enterprize, and upon the possibility of those northern barba rians having■ discovered the American continents previous to the birth of Columbus. We cannot, however, but think that Mr. Shillinglaw has been rather too discursive in his introductory chapters, al though those chapters peculiarly display his many qualifications to become the historian of Arctic dis covery. In the form of an appendix we have a sort of tabular catalogue of the various expeditions sent out by England between 1818 and 1850. For ex ample, we have Sir John Ross's expeditions of 1818 and 1829, Captain Buchan's expedition of 1818, Sir W. E. Parry's expeditions of 1819, of 1821, of 1824, and of 1827, Sir John Franklin's expeditions of 1819, of 1825, and of 1845, from the latter of which he has never yet returned, Sabine and Clavering's ex pedition of 1822, Lyon's expedition of 1824, Beechy's expedition of 1825, Back's expeditions of 1833 and cf 1836, A.loore's expedition of 1848, Kellett's of 1848, Sir James Clark Ross's of 1848, Saunders's of 1849, and the two new expedi tions of 1850, one under Austin, the other under Collinson. In all, twenty-one are enumerated, and the author thus significantly closes his narrative of these extraordinary undertakings by saying— " We could earnestly hope that, should it please the Almighty to send back the gallant Franklin and his de voted crews in safety, England will be careful of again risking the lives of her adventurous sons in further at tempts to discover what cannot be looked upon in any other light than that of a geographical ignis fatuus, TILE NW:TEL-WEST PASSAGE." Whether that aspiration be realised or not, we cannot but think, for our own part, that all efforts in the way of prosecuting Arctic discovery must con tinue, as heretofore, fruitless of all happy or valuable results, and the certain means of renewing again and again a feeling of scientific disappointment. AN ARCTIC VOYAGE TO BAFFIN'S BAY AND LANCASTER SO UND. By R. A. Goodsir. An appropriate companion to the work just criti cised, this interesting and brilliant volume possesses other attractive characteristics such as must secure to it an immediate, though it may not be very perma nent popularity. As the record of one of the latest ex - peditions in search of Sir John Franklin and his com panions, the book before us demands an attentive perusal, and we doubt not but that it will afford its readers a more vivid notion of the aspect and pecu liarities of the northern regions than could be ac quired by them from any previous work of a similar description. What strikes us as the most conspicuous merit of the present narrative, in truth, is that evidence which is visible in every sentence and expression that it is a faithful delineation of nature under an un wonted aspect, the delineation being invested with the warmth of novelty and the. distinctness of a punctilious similitude. What is de scribed by Mr. Goodsir is described by him not from hearsay, not on the authority of another, not second-hand—hut from the individual recognition of the feel ures and peculiarities of those wonderful regions of everlasting winter. What is yet more, Mr. Goodsir has not given us the lukewarm rechnifee of a few scatter e d rem i n i scences —h e h as written down his narrative, chapter by chapter, upon occasion, in all the heat of first impressions. Hear him telling of the strange habits of the whale, and you will at once feel that he writes with the fervour of a spec tator. " The deep boom of their blowings," he says in one part, " resound through the still air like the distant bellowing of a herd of wild bulls. My ears should have been pretty well accustomed now to the blast of the whales, but it was not until this time that I ever had noticed the pecu liar hollow boom of their voice, if voice it may be called." Again, it is with an unusual animation of style that he writes as follows : " I have noticed a peculiarity about the whale, that if there is a piece of ice within sight it will run towards it, and come to the surface beside it. And when beside a floe, it always rises beside its edge, and never appears at any distance from it. And, moreover, if there should be a crack or bight in the floe, it is ten chances to one it will rise to blow in it, in preference to the outer edge of the flee. This is well known to the whalers. Such a crack being now opposite to us, and at such a distance from where the whale was last seen, it was likely she would rise there next, and we pulled towards it. Here we lay for some minutes in breathless expectation, our oars out of the water, and the harpconer silently motion ing with his hand to the boat-steerer which way to scull.' Up in the very head of the crack the water was now seen to be circling and gurgling. up. There's her eddy,' quietly whispers our harpooner. A couple of strokes now boys—gently—that'll do.' Looking over my shoulder, I could see first the crown, then the great black back of the unsuspecting whale, slowly emerge from the water, contrasting strangely with the bright white and blue of the ice on each side—then followed the indescribable hurstlirg roar of her blast. Bat short breathing time had she—for, with sure aim and single tog of his trigger• string, the keen iron was sent deep in behind her fin. Harden up, boys 1' ho cries, and the boat is pulled right on to the whale, when he plunges the hand-herpoon deep into her back, with two hearty digs. The poor brute quivered throughout, and for a second or two lay almost motionless; then diving, and that with such rapidly increasing speed, that the hoe eves whirled out of the beat like lightning. The usual signals were now made to the other boats that we were fist.' " For the first few minutes the lines were allowed to run out without interruption, then, one, two, three turns, were successively thrown round the bollard: This had the offset of stopping her speed somewhat, but the line still ran cut with a great strait:. The boat's bow was forcibly pressed against the ice, and crushed through the underwashed ledge, to the solid floe beyond ; the har pooner sitting upon his thwart,' _allowing the lines to run through his hands, which were defended by thick mitts : stopping the progress of the fi,li es much as he could, as tee rest of the boats sere dill come distance from us. E ve ry f ew wieutes fish seeming to start off as with renewed strength, the boat's bow would Le pulled downwards, threatening to pull us under the floe. But then ellewing the line to run out, the strain was partly removed, and the boat's heed again rote, but only to he again dragged downwards. Upwards of Itwenty minutes had elapsed since we had 'got fast,' and 'the strain nor; began to slacken, but it was full time—. THURSDAY EVENING, we were drawing nigh the bitter end.' The welcome sound of a gun was heard, and in a few seconds, locking down the edge of the floe, we could see one of our boat,, with the well-known blue 'Jack' flying. A few fathoms more of line were rapidly drawn out, and then the traln as suAlf , n:y ceased. \V commenced hauling them in, and whilst doing so, could see a third beat 'get fast.' The rest of the boats were now at hanl, and as bhe ap peared at the surface, closely surrounded her, and busily plied her with their lanct , s. It was in about an hour and a half from the time we first struck her, that we heard the distant cheers announcing her death. From the time the second boat had got fast we had been busily engaged hauling in cur linos, and thus slowly approaching the cluster of boats round the dying whale. But long ere we had finished this they had succeeded in killing her, and she was lying safe and sound, made fast to the edge of the floe. The boats now collected and prepared to tow the dead fish to the ship. This was even more tedious than hauling in the lines, but as I had volun teered to take my place in a boat, I said not a word, but tugged away at my oar in silence." " With similar felicity of pen. sketching, our voyager depicts the other phases of Arctic enterprise, the rigour of the climate, and the occa s i ona l splendour of the frozen setts and the frozen at mosp h ere. A p l easan t air, moreover is diffused over t h e w h o l e narra ti ve from the prevailing good tunper and unrufflable bon hommie in which it is written. Either the author must have a capit«.l digestion, or the northern circle must have a most exhilarating influence; for, through out the entire volum', we can find no despondence, no blue-devilry, no solitary token of submission to the sway of the most evanescent melancholy. The work is a healthy effusion, thoroughly in earnest upon its subject, and replete with materials for entertain ment and f or mental speculation. We commend it especially to the scrutiny of all those who are in terested in the fate of the missing expedition. RANKERS' MAGAZINE. The number for the present month contains articles on the `• Proposed Saving s Banks Reform," the " Sale of Encumbered Estates in Ireland," the "Proposed Alteration of the Law affecting Banking in India ;" a second letter on " Joint-Stock Management," treating of the appointments in banks ; and a continuation of the consideration of the Report of the Bullion Committee of 1810, together with a paper detailing the law relating to the acceptance of bills of exchange. THE DUBLIN UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE. This able periodical for June contains more than an average quantity of useful and amusing informa tion. Tne first paper gives an instructive and inter esting account of " The Wonders of Modern Loco motion." The details appear to have been extracted fforn a work by Dr. Lardner, entitled " Railway Economy; a Treatise on the new Art of Transport, its Management, Prospects, and INations, Commer cial, Financial, and Social, Sze." According to the calculations supplied in this work, it would ap pear that in 1849 there were in operation in different parts of the globe, a total length of 18,656 miles of rail way, on which a capital of 365,567 had been expended, and that when the lines in progress of construction shall be brought into operation, the population of Europe and the United States will have completed, within a period of less than a quarter cf a century, 26,485 miles of railway—a greater length than would surround the globe, at the prodigious cost of above five hundred million sterling ! " 11 1.aurice Tier ea, TLe Soldier of Fortune," is continued. The nxt paper, " On Government—by A Liberty B oy ," i s very ably and elaborately written ; but the writer appears to have, fallen into the very error which he so touchingly and powerfully deplores and. condemns— " D 21 - 711 vitant stulti vitia in cvntrana currunt." The learned and graceful contributors to the Uuiver sity cannot be classified under the poet's category; hut while he devotes considerable space to show that the repeal of the corn-laws leas not lowered the price of bread to the many, and still feelingly laments the want of a practical application of good government to the great and admitted evils of our social and political polity, we cannot help feeling that he has unwittingly fallen into, not the opposite extreme, but the very error which he condemns in such singularly happy terms. If " Billy Malowney's Taste of Love and Glory" will not exercise the risible muscles of its readers, Punch must set to work at once to invent a new screw. " The itevolutionism of .11rirabeau this sketch of this extraordinary being is characteristic, it is strong and graphic, and exhibits a most vigorous power of antithesis. " Sonnets on France," by B.

Third Edition., The name of Signor Crivelli, already so highly dis tinguished in this country, is a sufficient guarantee of the excellence of the work before us. Two editions have preceded it, but this is the finishing stroke to all the previous labours of this great master of the vocal art. We must congratulate all lovers of this delight ful branch of music on now possessing a complete book of instruction, in which not only is there a full explanation of the proper method for the certain de velopment of the vocal powers, but at the same time every possible care is taken to point out those rocks and shoals upon which so many who have shown early and undoubled promise of excellence have been wrecked. This work, the result of thirty-eight years' experience, as stated in the dedication to that first of amateurs, the Earl of Westmorland, commences with some very interesting general observations. These are followed by a table of voices, showing the defects existing in almost every description before cultivation. It is in it self a complete analysis, and in order that the stu dent may fully comprehend the subject, we have a section n ,of exhibiting the vocal gfull and clear exposition ora organs, means the en n humanof which head,a is given of their construction and action. The gene ral observations require every attention, they are replete with instructive matter, and contain much worthy of deep reflection and study both to the master and student ; and from these we are led to their practical application in the ex erc i ses an d sca l es t h a t follow. These exercises and scales are progressive from the sustained sound to the moat rapid divisions, commencing with the chromatic—the running chro matic and the diatonic, which may be considered fun damental ; these are followed by exercises formed on the different intervals embracing all the ornamental charac ters which are introduced in music, which are made subservient not only to the development of the powers of the vocal organ, but also to instruct the student in their proper reading, by means of which the greatest given to th e var i ous passages i n expression rnus i Wheniny b th e e voice has been sufficiently formed, it becomes necessary to initiate the pupil in combin ing language with the music. For this purpose sii have been always employed. Signor Crivelli hasiegbegen ex tremely happy in th ose i n t ro d uc ed i n t o this work. Many of them are si m ple and touching melodies,l which, while they amuse by their pleasing elegance contain, at the same time, an extensive fund of most useful practice. In short, this work is com plete in itself, from the first sustained sound to the most passages ; every possible explana tionis d gd i ei !u o c enlo, l p t seod u that the vocal p owers b ecome gra duallypon a solid foundation. We have thus endeavoured, though imperfectly, to enter into the merits of this work, which must be considered the surest and safest guide to the art of singing. Signor Crivelli is already well kno w n as of the very first rank as a master ; and this work is a f u ll proo f o f the justice of that opinion, which has placed him in so high a position in public estimation. KINSON.—EXTRAORDINARY ATTACK ON A CHILD. —A few days since, the parish of Kinson was thrown into some consternation in consequence of an attack made on a little girl about twelve years old by a donkey belonging to a ' man named Hooper. It appea . s that the donkey was put into a field, and fastened on to a peg by a rope that allowed him a long range. The child having gone into the field for the purpose of plucking some flowers approached within ywo in the fleshy part was several wounds reach of the animal, when he sudd enl y attacked her in a furious manner. Raising hims elf on his hind legs, he knocked her down with hi, fore feet, tore h er c l o th ee , an d Inflicted oton e of several er le ,sse, where rious bites, inches in length,' the bone being laid bare to a considerable extent. A man in a neighbouring field, observi ng t h e attack, promptly went to the spot and succeeded in rescuing the one esopfectihael child from receiving further injuries. Dr. Crabbe, of Poole, was soon in attendance and under his care the child is going ol very favourably. The animal has on three or previous Occasions attacked persons i n a similar way. -- - Somerset County Gazette. STATE or T RAD r.—MANCHESTER , JUNE 11.—The letters per Hibernia, Boston mail steamer, of the 29th ult., came to hand this morning. The advices concerning the growing cotton crop are no wise improving, yet the markets of the Union have generally declined, Owing to a pressure for money and the paucity of foreign orders, excepting at rates lower than those previously current. In consequence of these advices and less activity in the Liverpool market we have had but a quiet market here to-day; yet, stocks being low, prices are generally firm for both cloth and yarn, and buyers appear to hold large orders. Domestics and heavy cloths, which have been so long depressed, have materially improved, which is an encouraging feature. Low printers are still in demend and obtain the same prices. In madda pollams very little is doing, and we think there are fewer making at present; 36-inch shirtiugs are a little neglected, and there is some uhlieultv in selling; 40-inch skirtings obtain the rates of last wee - but many makers are still under contraA for this class of goods; 45-inch shirtings are rather difficult to dispose of, and in the lower qualities stocks are accumulating.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. ASCOT RACES.-WEDNESDAY. Although Oxley's true and correct list" registered seven events fur decision, three of which reckoned among their entries several horses of high character or pretea sion!, this day was, according to precedent, a cotni:ara tively blank one, as far ac attendance was concerned. The excessive brightness cf the early part of the morn ing, which induced fal.to anticipations cf a wet efter _ _ noen, also militated in a measure against the attendance; and hence the muster in the Grand Stand coraprised very few more than the visitors in the immediate neighbour hood, end the "regulars," who, having become from the Epsom experience " sadder but wiser men," did not, as yesterday, enter on speculation with any great gusto. The Coronation Stakes were looked upon vory generally as a mere " return match" between the first and second fur the " thousand guineas," the Newmarket decision of which was confirmed, in Nrite of the 31b extra which it entailed on the Exotic filly. At the stand the three were nearly level, but Clelia eventually wrested the second place from Titr, who was noterioudy amiss. Retail's number was exhibited on the telegraph among the starters for the Queen's Plate, and Marson went to mount him, but, for some reason which did not tran spire, he was sent back to his stable. The prestige of the Concertina colt end Cariboo had the effect of eli minating 25 out of the 30 that apperred on the card for the Windsor StakeF; the former MS however in trouble at the stand, and a beautiful and lengthened struggle be tween the latter and Thistledown resulted in the first dead heat a the meetin , . Thistledown afterwards walked over, and the stake was divided. Mildew, al though strongly fancied in the ring, was, like Old Col. lingwood, "nowhere" for the Huntelip, which, as usual, produced a very large field of Latirrurs. The Receipt filly made a shocking example of Pr estige, and a walk over, as en Tuesday, was the wind up to a capital da3's racing.

Notwithstanding the dull and foreboding state of the weather yesterday, the third of the flower shows of the Royal Botanic Society was most brilliantly attended. Some thousands of visitors were present, and the gar dens, between the hours of four and five, presented a very gay and animated appearance. A more magni ficent array of fashion was never congregated at these reunions, Sully proclaiming the reputation in which this charming place of resort is held, and the aristocratic and fashionable character of the patronage that it now enjoys. Among the company were their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Cambridge, Prince George and the Princess Mary, attended by Lady Augusta Gordon, the Baroness Ahlefcldt and Mr. Edmond Mildmay; the Spanish, Danish, Prussian, Portuguese, Mexican, and Turkish Ambassadors, with their respective suites; the Duke of Wellington and Duke of Norfolk; the Marquis of Sligo and Marquis of Ailesbury; the Earl of Egremont and Earl of Roscbery; Lord Walsingham; Baron Colbore, Baron Blayney and Baron Goldsmid ; the Archbishop of Canterbury; the Bishop of Durham and the Bishop of Winchester; Sirs—E.

Miss Gage, &c. The tents were too crowded during the time we were present to permit any minute or convenient investigation of the flowers for which prizes were awarded. But there seemed but little exception to the splendour and besuty of the specimens; indeed, a finer and more copious col lection has never before been exhibited. The pelargo niums were in the highest degree of perfection, and a great number of varieties were shown. The other fea tures of the exhibition were Alpine plants, Cape heaths, greenhouse azalies, British and exotic ferns, orchidacem, fuchsia, verbenas, cacti, roses, pinks, &c., besides the American plants, and a large display of pine-apples, grapes, and other 'Alit% The following is a list of the prizes awarded:— EXTRA GOLD MEDAL.-Mr. May, gardener to Mrs. Lawrence, Ealing Park, 30 stove and greenhouse plants; Mr. Mylem, gardener to J.

The ninth anniversary festival of this glorious insti tution was held yesterday at the Albion Tavern, Alders gate-street; Lord Feversham in the chair, supported by Lord Saye and Sale, C. G. Dupre, M.P., S. C. Hail, Esq. About 100 gentlemen sat down to a very sump tuous dinner, and the new gallery was graced by the presence of a large number of ladies. The chairman made a very eloquent appeal on behalf of the institu tion, which was substantially responded to, the amount of donations and subscription announced being 2,150/, Among the subscriptions were those of Lord Fevers• ham 1001.; Sir Henry Fouli s, 100/4 John Ball, Es q ., 100/.; Philip Rose, Esq., 1001; the Rev. A. H. Douglas 100/.; Robert Fox, Esq., 1001.; George Vaughan, Esq., 1001.; Thomas Lowndes, Esq., 1001.; George Bartlett Hart, Esq., 1001.; W. Tatton Egerton, Esq., 50/.• H. E. Norton, Esq. , 501.; D. Forbes, 50/. Mr. ioole officiated as toastmaster. From the report it appears that during the past year no less than 260 in-patients have bcea received within the walls of the hospital, being an increase of 78 over the number admitted in the preceding year. The number of out-patients treated during the past year has been 3,176, being an increase of 371 over the number treated in the preceding year; many of these patients, however, extent contin w u i e ll u b n e de th r e tr b e e a t t t m er e a n b t l m e atonyjumdgoentohrs,thaend of t re liefgover- nors afforded in this department when it is stated that the number of prescriptions actually dispensed during the past year to the out-patients alone has amounted to 26,956.

They are rather backward for the season, but have made extraordinary way within the last fortnight. In Mr. Gurney's ground, near Maidstone, the bines are already topping 14 poles, and in many other grounds they may be seen, here and there, standing out from the poll-tops like so many reconnoitering snakes. The plant is evidently full of lite and vigour. The " lady birds" are starving for want of aphides . On the Weald clays, an inferior ground is a rarity, and although many of the broadest leaves have been riddled by tha flea, there are plenty left to gather the neces sary carbon from the atmosphere. Notwithstanding all these favourable appearances, however, the old adage must be borne in mind— " Till St. James's day is come and gone, There may be hops, and there may be none." All that we can (Jo is to state what is, leaving to future reports.—.3faidstene Gazette. i msi , ', E . —A vessel arr o iv m e: lhries i l n ainsd t t h ho e effit r hr i si v ts e i r pne ; lin m eare Waterford, Dublin, and Belfast, respectively, has parcel of ice from the first-mentioned port, as a portion of a produce. his cargo of f Irish taking v of ery an l airmgpeocratar *tide Oi InCrgballdi§e, LABOUR AND THE POOR. Last night a meeting of a very singular and curious character took Vac° at the National Hall, Holborn, It was a meeting called by Mr. Mayhew, the metropolitim correspondent of the Morning Chronicle, of coster mongers, street-sellers, jugglers, standing paterrers. street performers, flying stationers, and labourers. For some time before the doors of the hall were opened, large groups of men cf the above callings were to be seen in Holburn inquiring one of another the ob ject of the meeting. At the hour appointed, half-past eight, the proceedings commenced ; the side gal leries of the hall were filled with costermongers; the end gallery was occupied by the street performers and stationers; and the assemblage in the body of the ball was composed of barrow-men: altogether, we should imagine there were about 500 persons present. On the platform, among other notables present, we noticed many well-known London characters, via, the tall man who relates an endless variety of conundrums in our leading thoroughfares, the Highland dancer, in costume, the French polisher, the man who vends the wonderful snap, which is warranted to take out grease stains, tar stains, wine stable, &C. &C. The entrance of Mr. Mayhew was the signal for most vociferous cheering. Mr. MAYHEW, advancing to the front of the platform, said, Gentlemen, my object in calling you here to-night is to enable you to make a statement, in the mast unre served manner, of the difficulties that you encounter in cb:aining a living by vending articles in the street. I assure you, my only motive is to hear your hardship s , an d to place th orn before the world, that the higher classes may know something of the miseries endured by people of your class. I have not been sent here by Govern meet, by Sir RoLort Peel, or any other person; but this meeting is called by me, the cards were issued by my direction, the hall is paid for by me, and if there are any policemen present, they have no more right to be here than they have to be in my private house. I can honestly say, I telieve the meeting to be entirely free from their presence. I implore you to keep order. I know you can do so. We shall then arrive at something that may tend to alleviate your hardship. I call upon the delegate of stationers to come on the platform and address you. _ _ A very intelligent-looking man here appeared and addressed the meeting. He said—Five-and-twenty years ago I first made my appearance in the streets of London, and I can assure you the streets were then widely different from what they are at present. My first effort was to recite in public•houses, for I have re ceived the education of a gentleman; but that was not to my liking. I then turned penny-showman. This mode I adopted for ten years. This did not snit me, and I tried every thing that my ingenuity or imagination could suggest. If there are any old men here, I dare say they can recollect, years that have long gone by, the man who first sold the little silver spoons made to go through the eye of a needle. I am that man. Of the misery and privation that I have endured, no person but men of " our class" can imagine. For weeks, aye, for months, has the dry arches of Waterloo•bridge been my only shelter. Am I to be despised because I prefer getting my living in the streets to going into the work• house? My own conscience tells me no; but am I not so? We are driven and hunted about by the police like so many wild beasts, and yet our only crime is to get bread for our starving families. The man then, in a very feeling manner, implored the meeting to keep order, that a statement of their distresses might go forth to the public, and, above all, to the higher classes, whereby they might be enabled to use their influence with men in power to help them in any possible manner. The ad dress of this na,.n was listened to throughout with the most marked attention. The costermongers' delegate then followed. He ad dressed the meeting to the same effect as the preceding speaker. The delegates from the street-performers, labourers, barrowmen, and others followed, at the conclusion of which Mr. Mayhew briefly addressed them, imploring them to return peaceably to their homes. Thanks having been voted to Mr. Mayhew fur his past exertions, the meeting peaceably dispersed. CITY COURT OF SEWERS. On Tuesday a Court was held at Guildhall, Mr. De puty Peacock iu the chair. THE GREAT CENTRAL GAS BILL. The REMEDIBRANCER informed the Court that the Great Central Gas Company had carried into effect the various conditions required of them by the Corporation down to the present stage of the Bill in Parliament. Mr. Deputy HARnrsort said it was probable that on the next day of the meeting of the Court, he should form ally apply that the company be allowed at once to pro ceed with the operation of laying down their pipes within the City, in order that the inhabitants might as soon as possible be accommodated with gas upon the very favourable conditions to which such multitudes had sub scribed.—(llear, hear.) After a conversation, in which several members de clared that the company could produce the 75,0001. that had been stipulated for at any moment when it might be required, the conversation dropped.

FIRE AND LOSS OF LIFE AT LEAMINGTON. —We regret to announce that a fire of very considerable magni tude broke out yesterday, at half-past one A.M., at the above. mentioned place. The premises, which were occupied by and the property of Mr. Dewier, upholsterer and cabinet. maker, were completely burnt to the ground. Up to eleven o'clock yesterday morning, at which time our correspondent left Leamington, the engine continued to play on the smoking ruins. It is generally believed that damage is done to the extent of 30,000/, whilst insurance is effected to the amouat only of 5,0001. A poor fellow, a stranger to the town, whilst occupied in directing the hose of one of the engines, was struck down by an iron pillar, which fell on his head with tremendous force; he was immediately carried away, and we regret to say is since dead. The (fire might have been checked earlier, but for the inefficient state of the Leaming ton fire-engine, which was utterly out of working condition, and when brought to the conflagration was found to be of not the slightest utility. The Warwick and Coventry en. gines were, however, promptly on the spot, and did good service.

Mr. y ouc g, one of the principal officers of the company, was in the train at the time, and the instant the train stopped he jumped out for the purpose of rendering all the assistance in his power; but before reaching the body, Morris ' a porter on the line, and who was i n one of the back trucks, got up to it. The shocking spectacle which it presented it would I be impossible to describe. Suffice it to say, that it was torn to pieces, the brains scattered about in all directions, and one of the legs, with the boat and part of the stocking on, was found at least twenty yards from where the shattered remains of the body lay. The jury, having heard evidence to the above effect, returned a verdict of " Temporary de rangement." The deceased has left a wife and two children to deplore his untimely end.
