SlR,—The evils or graveyard burial are not yet done away with, as interments take place daily in London in defiance of the Act of Parliament and of the promises held out by Ministers who, whilst anxious to prevent opposition in the House, and in order to in sure the passing of the Interments Bill, stated to the deputations " that the evils complained of would be remedied as soon as the Bill was passed into a law, and that clauses should be inserted empowering the closing of the graveyards and vaults of the metropolis by the order of the Commissioners, inserted in the Gazette, and to empower them to make use of the eight suburban cemeteries now in existence until a cemetery of sufficient magnitude is provided for the burial cf the dead ;" and to render the powers of the Commissioners more absolute, it is provided " that after the publication in the London Gazette of the discontinuance of interments, it shall not be lawful to bury the dead in the graveyards of the metropolis ;" and the Act also provides that there shall he a penalty attached to any disobedience of the order of the Commissioners. Now, Sir, since the passing of the Metropolitan In terments Act, not one stir has been made by the Board to allay the evils of the old system ; but such pest-holes as Sr. Giles's, or the graveyard in the Blackfriar's-road, et hoc genus onzne, are now per mitted to bury the dead in the midst of the most crowded localities; and many of the suburban parishes, conceiving that they are exempt from the powers of the Act, have begun a system of graveyard Jobbing ! To prevent this evil, and to prove that those parishes which come within the meaning of, and which are named in, the Interments Act cannot traffic in future in burials, let the Commisioners give notice in the Gazette, stating clearly and distinctly the names of the parishes over which they have jurisdiction, and let them exert the powers given them by the Act to prevent the spread of disease. As all places of burial without the metropolitan district do not come within the meaning of this Act, therefore are not under the powers of the felony clause, it is the mcre necessary that the notice in the Gazette shall be explicit, and written so plain that there shall be no misunderstand ing its tenor,and be they lord or beggar, bishopor priest, I hope the person who infringes on their order will be visited with the full penalty their delinquency will merit. I hope the thirst for patronage will not delay the working out of this sanitary measure for good to the public, a measure which has been wrung from the Government when the proofs were undeniable, and only when disease, caused by neglected sanita r y me asures, had reached a point little short of a general plague. Let not, then,those Commissioners who have the carrying into operation the provisions of this Act leave undone the business for which they have been ap pointed. Let them not for any interested motive allow of the graveyards being kept open, as there are those looking on who are both willing and able to ap preciate their powers, whether justly or unjustly ad ministered, and according to their merits will the Board be judged. Before the passing of the Act, and during the ex citement caused by the extraordinary powers given by the clauses inserted in the Bill, and the tricks resorted to by the Government to pass the Bill without dis cussion, the following re mark was called forth from a leading paper of the day :—" Pass this Bill, and the Board of Health will instantly become the most des potic authority in London." And I fear the predic tion will be but too true ; for the Board are carelessly dilatory in their movements and not inclined at all to close the present graveyards or burial-pits, and negligent to a fault in the duties imposed upon them, and for which they are largely remunerated. Hoping that this Commission will not be like others from which " much was expected," and under similar management fell to the ground, I remain, Sir, &c.,W. H. BISHOP PHILLPOTTS AT IDE.

Do not alarm yourself — you're in a church. A church ! Impossible—with that thing shutting out the view of the altar of the Lord from the faithful. What thing, my Lord ? That thing—the pulpit—how came it there—when was it placed there ? Alas ! my Lord, it has never been removed since you consecrated the church, fifteen years ago !

At the Mayor's Court, Limerick, on 'Tuesday, the following case came on for trial before his wor- ship : The complainant, named James Lynch, a widower, and the father of three grown children, stated that Margaret Loftus, defendant, a widow, and the mother of five children, had violated a promise of marriage which she had made to complainant, after he had pur chased the licence and certificate, on the faith of the assurance she had solemly pledged. Mayor—Tell me , my good woman, why don't you Defendant — I on l y half stick to your promise ? consented ; I never gave my consent entirely, your worship. Complainant—Ah, indeed, you did now, and only for that I would not have purchased the licence. Defendant—Ne, you r worship, he was co ntinually hanging after me, tied to my apron -strings, and I could not get rid of him. I never, oh no, I never did entirely promise him. Mayor—You were a foolish man to purchase the licence and certificate, as this wo man had no t agreed to marry you. Complainant—She did most faithfully, your wor ship. It is true I was anxious to marry her, because she appeared to me to be a clean, industrious woman. But oh, what will become of me now ? Defendant —I might have married him, your wor ship, only I found out be had not the marriage money. Complainant —Oh !do you hear that, your wor ship ? If I had not the money, how could u cruel I purchasel the licence and c ertificate ? Ab, yo did not think you would treat me that way. The Mayor good-naturedly advised both parties to be reconciled. Defendant — I ha d a good o inion of him form erl y , p your worship; but from what I have since heard of that man, I never will consent to marry hint. Oh, no ;never, neve B r. esides, his big three stumps of daug ht e rs, who are as old as myself, t h rea t e ned to tear the throat out of me if I married their father. What was I to do then, your worship ? The Mayor said that an action for would orde r ach of pthe ro- mice could not b e entertained, but he defendant to pay half the cost of the certificate. The defendant said she would be guided by his worship's decision ; but, turning to the complainant, she exclaimed, "Whatever chance you had at all be fore, d—l a bit you have now, at any rate." SINGULAR AFFAI LR. Island, one In August , 1837, at Aquabogue, ong John Cameron, a native of Scotland, after taking his tee, fell into convulsions, and died very suddenly. A d oc t o r, named Wright, w as sent for, but was informed that the man was dead, and he immediately went away. The body soon swelled up very much, and by some strange idea the hands were tied across the stomach. The body was interred the day after death, but presented none of the appearanc es of a corpse, being quite Mrs. Cameron was at the time absent in this city, and did not return for a fortnight. After some years young Cameron entered the employment of N. Currier, litho grapher, corner of Spruce and Nassau streets, and the mother married a man named Falls, a ropemaker, and now resides with him at Yorkville. Lately, young Ca meron having prospered in his business, thinking it his duty to have his father's remains more decently interred, and some sort of a monument erected to his memory, . had the body disinterred by a man named Aldridge. To the great astonishment of this man and his assistant; it was with the greatest difficulty that they could raise the coffin, ard en removing the lid they found the re mains fresh and undecayed, though a little blackened, and the band behind the head in a strange position, as if the deceased had awakened from a trance, and struggled for freedom. This is the more strange as the hands we e tied. The coffin was pretty well decayed, and gave way in some parts. This discovery led to a great deal of discussion in the nr ighbourhood, and to many strange suspicions and surmise 3. There appears to inv b estige a desire that an inquest sho uld be held, or so that would elicit the facts of thus mysterious clue. The deceased was thirty - five years of agP, and appeared t be in perfect health the day before be was interred. He w in fond of stuffing birds, and ust d a large quantity of arsenic for the purpose.

WILLIAM ATHERTOIC.—The Wesleyan Methodist society in Wakefield has just sustained a severe loss in the death of their highly esteemed superin tendent the Rev.

This venerable minister commenced his itinerant labours in the 'Wesleyan connexion in th e y ear 1 7 9 7; and had laboured w ith uninterrupted fidelity during the period of fifty-tand three years in a manner that commended general on, with great usefulness. During his ministerial career he held some of the highest offices in the connexion, having been president of the Conference in the year 1840.

The following singular narrative is given in a letter to the Semaphore of Marseilles : " A few years ago a, Greek girl of uncommon beauty was married to Mr. Melinger, an English physician residing at Constantinople, where he had acquired a high reputation. Several children were born of this marriage, which, to all appearance!, seemed likely to continue a happy one. Thanks to his profession and to his distinguished merits, Mr. Melinger received frequent visits from the highest dignitaries of the empire, and among others from his Excellency Fethi-Pacha, now son-in-law of the Sultan. It would appear that the doctor having dis covered the existence of an intrigue between this gentleman and his wife, resolved upon quitting Con , stantinople, and taking the guilty one over to Eng land ; but the Greek refused to submit, doubtless bent upon other schemes, for she soon after obtained a divorce, and abandoned her children and her husband. After her divorce the connexion of Madame Melinger with Fethi-Pacha was but of short duration. But she shortly accomplished the conquest of Mehemet Pacha, who had just been appointed to the Governor ship of Belgrade ; and in order the more entirely to captivate this distinguished personage she became a Mussulman—a circumstance which immediately induced the enamoured Pacha to take her with him to his seat of government, and, finally, to make her his wife. Although greatly attached to his wife, Mehemet's happiness was not complete, as there was reason to fear that their union would be sterile. Ac cordingly, he one day ventured a kind of reproach to his wile on the subject, who immediately replied with a smile, 'ls this the cause of your dejection, my Lord? why did you not mention it sooner ?" Ilow so ?" Would you prefer a boy or a girl ?" A boy by all means.' You shall have one. After a short interval the crafty Greek feigned to be in the con dition her lord desired, while every means were em ployed prudently to exile him from his wife's apart ment. The blindness of his passion rendered this an easy task, nor did a doubt cross his mind as to the legitimacy of the infant presented to him, which he named Belgrade Bey, and the town showed itself duly sensible of its sponsorial honours by the most splendid rejoicings. A short time afterwards his Excellency Mehemet Pacha was recalled to Constan tinople, and subsequently appointed Ambassador of the Ottoman Porte in London. But pre vious to his departure he expressed a wish that he might have another boy, a brother and a companion for the beloved Belgrade. His happiness, he said, would not be completed unless he had two fine children almost of the same age, of whose future career he already formed the most brilliant an ticipations. As she had done in the first instance, his wife replied, ' You shall have one." Impossible exclaimed the husband, at first astounded. 'As truly as Mahomet is our prophet.' 'Well,' replied Mehemet, God is great ! and it was thus that you announced my first-born.' At the end of a month she again declared herself enceinte, and the Pacha was the most delighted of men, but he was soon ob liged to set out for London, and his wife was left at Constantinople to complete her accouchement. This was all the Greek desired, and using the same means as before, she presented one fine morning to her as sembled slaves, and to a few persons of her husband's family, a fine child of the male sex, who received the name of Usnud Bey. After the lapse of a few days the child fell seriously ill, and was sent, by order of the physicians, to Pera, under the care of its gover ness. Pere, as every one knows, is a suburb of Constantinople, inhabited by the mercantile commu nity and by the European Ambassadors. Its air is purer than that of the city, and, accordingly, young Usnud was soon brought back in perfect health by his governess—the same woman who had performed the office of nurse at the birth of Belgrade. Singularly enough, however, an old black eunuch who had brought up the Pacha, possessed his entire confi dence, and managed his entire household, could by no means recognise Usnud Bay in the child which was thus brought back, and in the presence of several slaves said to his mistress, 'Well, my lady, if that child be Usnud Bey, he has become singularly altered by his sojourn at Pera among the infidels. The mother remained silent, and carried off the child, di recting a fierce glance at the eunuch. Doubt had es tablished itself, however, in the old man's mind ; moreover, he had long been enlightened with respect to his mistress's doings ; he knew the whole history of Belgrade Bey, and the reason he had not mentioned it to his master was, that at the time he discovered the trick the Pacha had already grown fond of the little being whom he believed to be his son, and the eunuch had not had the courage to undeceive him. But two supposititious children in the first place, and then the impudent substitution of another child to the one which had been received as a legitimate offspring, formed a complication of knavery of which the indig nant old man refused to render himself an accomplice by remaining longer inactive. He betook himself to Pere, and proceeding step by step in his investigations with that cautious prudence and insinuating artifice so peculiar to the people of the East, and especially to the inmates of the harem, he succeeded in acquiring positive evidence of the death of the veritable Usnud Bey, and of the substitution of a child of the same age, purchased of parents in the lowest grade of life. Tne eunuch then returned, and, pointing to the pre tended Usnud Bey, said to his mistress, Madam, let me beg of you to send that child back to his father— Mossul, the fisherman. I know all.' At these words the woman became livid, and left him, saying, "It is well.' " Shortly before the time of afternoon prayer she sent for the eunuch, and was told that he was taking a bath. No sooner did she hear this than her project was immediately formed. The old man, as we have said, was governor of the Pacha's household, and as such occupied a sumptuous apartment, to which a bath-room was attached for his private use ; it was here that his mistress sought him out. The eunuch was attended by two slaves ; she dismissed them with an imperious gesture, and remained alone with the old man. You were determined to find it out, then ?' she said. Yes, and I did find it out.' To whom have you spoken about what you have discovered ?' To no one yet, but I shall write to my master.' How much do you want to h old y our tongue ?' Nothing, I am determined to speak." And to write ?" Yes, I mean to write.' ' take that to seal your letter with!' At these words she threw a noose round the neck of the wretched old man, and commenced strangling him. The eunuch was feeble, and, taken by surprise, could offer but little resistance. He struggled in vain, his assassin continued to draw the fatal- noose tighter and tighter still, and as she redoubled her efforts she exclaimed with the rage of a fury, Ah ! you wanted to know all—you shall know more than you bargained for ! You sought for light, did you ? here's eternal dark ness for you! Now write to your master ! write old fool !' At the vocferations of the assassin and the groans of the victim one of the ,s laves returned into the apartment, and at the sight of the horrible scene, rushed out and began crying all over the house. 'The khanum (mistress of the house) is murdering— the khanum is strangling the eunuch !' A scene of general confusion ensued. Some of the slaves rushed terror-struck into the street, repeating one after the other, The khanum is murdering I the him= is murdering Others hastened to the bath-room, and only reached it as the old eunuch, overpowered, was stretched out senseless upon the marble floor. Be traying no alarm at the publicity of her deed, the khan= loosened the noose, and slowly retired between a double row of her servants, whose imprecations fol lowed her to the door of her apartment. The eunuch had been kind to the slaves, and they lamented his loss. One of them raised him from the ground and discovered that he still breathed. They rubbed him, and a physician was sent for, but it was too late. The wretched man returned to life for a few mo ments, and found sufficient strength completely to denounce the guilty one, and to give a detailed ac count of his assassination, but he expired immediately after. All Constantinople was soon thrown into a state of agitation at the news of the crime, which spread with the rapidity of lightning. The Cadi arrived, and in spite of the hhanurn's rank, the authorities determined that she should be arrested and conveyed to prison. A courier was then immediately dispatched to London, to apprise Mehemet Pacha of the fatal occurrence. The culprit has already been examined several times, and up to the present time the only defence she has set up is that she possessed a power of life and death over the eunuch, whom she considered as her slave. The affair remains at this stage for the present, and all further proceedings will be suspended until the arrival of a communication from London, or of the husband himself. As you may imagine, this mournful event has created a sen sation in the higher circles of the Mussulman society. It is presumed, however, that the Sultan will not be deterred by the rank of the criminal, and that the nishment of the crime will be signal."

At about two o'clock on Friday (yesterday) morn ing, a tide-waiter on board one of the vessels in the floating harbour discovered that a fire had broken out in the premises t f Messrs. Whitwill and Allward, shipchandlers and patent felt and oakum merchantc, ou the Grove, which speedily extended to the ware houses of Messrs. Smith and Downing, provision merchants and bonded storekeepers, Mr. Humphrey, corn merchant, and Mr. Edward Reed, sailruakers, the whole of which were completely destroyed, and the premises of Mrs. Bailey, 37, Queen-square, much damaged. The premises may be thus described : On that part of the floating harbour called the Grove, and which is at the back of the south side of Queen square, (the scene of the fires at the Bristol riots), facing the new mud dock, are extensive warehouses and stores. On the ground and first floors are the stores of Messrs. Whitwill and Allward, filled with tar, pitch, oakum, patent felt, and other highly com bustible materials, on account of which they are closed at six o'.clock, and no fire or lights used. Over these stores were the sail lofts of Mr. Edward Reed. At the rear are the provision stores of Messrs. Smith and Downing, and over them the lofts of Mr. Hum phrey, corn-factor. Adjoining these premises is the Curtoms Surveyor's Offices, which, on the discovery of the fire, were broken open, and the books and docu ments removed to a place of safety. The fire-engines of the city soon arrived, and began playing on the burning mass, but from the highly combustible nature of the materials, the flames gained a decided mastery, and spread with great rapidity and fury. An aliun dant supply of water from the plugs of the Bristol Waterworks Company was speedily obtained, and the efforts of the police and the fire-brigade were directed to arrest the progress of the devouring ele ment. For some time, however, their exertions were misdirected ; in consequence of a report being spread that there was a quantity of gunpowder iu the cellars of Messrs. Whitwill and Allward, the whole force of the engines was directed to the saturation of those portions of the premises. It turned out, however, that the quantity of gunpowder was over-estimated, and that it was secured in a copper can, on the ground floor, and not in the cellars, as had been supposed. At about three o'clock the flames reached the powder, which of course exploded instantaneously, and the roof of the premises fell in. The fire then spread on all sides, and communicated with the house of Mrs. Bailey, No. 37, Queen-square, a few feet from the rear of the warehouses on the Grove. The progress of the flames may be said to have been subdued about seven o'clock in the morning ; but at this time (five o'clock Friday afternoon) the en gines are still playing on the premises. The total loss is estimated roughly at from 6,0001. to 7,0001. Messrs. Smith and Downing are fully insured. Mr. Humphrey is covered by a policy in the West of England Office. Messrs. Whitwill and Allward are insured to about one-half of their loss in the Pbcenix. Mrs. Bailey's furniture is insured i❑ the Sun ; but Mr. Reed, the sailmaker, is wholly uninsured. Mrs. Coote, the owner of all the premises, is also uninsured. From the proximity of the scene of conflagration to the floating harbour, it was at one time feared that some of the shipping in the port might have been de stroyed, so numerous were the sparks which fell among them. Fortunately the wind was west-south west. Had it been northerly, the splendid vessels the Laretan, the Bell Rock, and several other first class ships, must have been destroyed. THE WRECK OF THE SUPERB. SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY NIGHT.—It is now certain that the loss of life consequent on this most extraor dinary casualty, is far greater than has yet been stated. Upon a comparison of the passenger list of the vessel, with the names cf those saved, it has been ascertained that at least 17 persons have been lost, and from inquiries which have been made, it is feared that in addition to those there were four other suf ferers. Mr. Willis and niece, Mr. Pinson, Mrs. Baker and child and a native of Jersey, name unknown, were amongst those drowned. A coroner's inquest is sitting, and the circumstances attending the calamity will no doubt receive a searching investigation. The Superb, which was left high and dry on the rocks by the receding tide, after the accident, has now disappeared, having sunk in deep water. On the arrival of the Collier at St. Helier's, with the rescued passengers of the Superb, several gentle men who bad witnessed the energy and promptitude with which Captain Aske had acted throughout this most lamentable affair, presented to him a handsome silver cup, which was subscribed for and purchased during the progress l'of his vessel to and from the wreck. They accompanied the gift with an expres sion of their admiration of the disinterested conduct and devotedness of himself, his mates and crew, to whom, it is understood, similar testimonials will be given. The carpenter of the Superb had a most Providen tial escape, having been floating about for three hours on a grating, when the Collier's boat picked him up. Painfully interesting indeed are some of the attendant circumstances of this catastrophe. The two children of Mr. Jackson, who bad been rescued from the Polka the week before, were on the deck, and on first seeing the rocks inquired what their name was. The reply was " The Alinquiers ;" but the poor father added, " I think they ought to be called the Polka rocks !" Scarcely had the words been uttered when the vessel struck, and the inquirers were precipitated by the shock into the water, and were seen no more. EXTRAORDINARY FISH. The Londonderry Journal contains the follow ing :- _ . _ About the beginning of the week, no small ex citement was produced here by a report that the Fe nella iron steamer, on its way down the lough, had been piratically attacked off Ennishowen Head by some indescribable animal, which, having seized it by the bow with its jaws, dragged it all the way into Portrush harbour—the very port to which the vessel was bound—where the terror in which the passer gers and crew were was greatly augmented by beholding the creature preparing to board ; and that they were saved from the cruelist of all imaginable deaths by the prompt interposition of a party of the constabulary—. commanded, of course, by an active, intelligent, and most intrepid chief, whose services the Government could never sufficiently acknowledge—who, by re peated volleys, compelled the monster to a hasty re treat. It was said that they aimed their shots speci ally at the tail, which, with all nondescripts, is sup posed by the vulgar to be the seat of the living prin ciple. On hearing the rumour we felt bound to make particular inquiries into its origin, and really ascer tained that it was not without foundation, but that cir cumstances had been greatly exaggerated. One thing is certain, that the vessel was attacked by a fish- s —the first instance of the kind, we believe, that was ever au thentically known, which alone renders this occur rence memorable. It seems that, when the Fenella was at the tail of the Tons, nearly opposite to Down hill, those on board felt as if she bad grazed upon something, which they supposed might be a sunk wreck, though, from the depth of water, that was scarcely possible, and, at the time, some observed about the bow an agitation as if caused by a huge animal. When the Feriella reached Portrush harbour, which is about seven miles distant from the tail of the Tons, it was observed by those on shore, as well as some on board, that an enormous fish had hold of the vessel by the bow with its jaws; and in the sequel it turned out that the marks of its teeth were distinctly imprinted in the paint of the bow, which, like the rest of the vessel, is iron. Mr. Black, the harbour master, and a number of others, put off in boats, in the hope of capturing the animal. Unfortunately the only weapon they had with them was a bayonet, which they converted into a spear-head by fixing it to a pole; and with this they made sundry blows at the animal, which drew blood from it, and it then dashed out of the harbour into the ocean. It was then twilight, so that its shape could not be well ob served, but it was judged to be 14 feet in length, and of a very dark colour. We think that it may have been one of the basking sharks which are common off he coast of Galway.' EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF SELF -AMPUTATION:— aged fifteen, Yesterday Mr. W. Baker, coroner, held an inquest at the L w o h r o d m o n e hospital tm, ith hi son deathth e body' under of tEhdew following blurry, hw in employed at a s t h lVi k ek in m g oth cir cumstances :—Charles Dale, sawyer, emp e l n o employed as s e e a t , stoker to attend to the fire s t t h e e am den s e a a w sed in w ill a s s , d New-town, said of the steam-engine, which is a considerable distance from the machinery. On Saturday,the 14th instant, shortly be -1 fore one o'clock, wit ness was removing some timber from the saws which were in motion to the other end of the building. he had been absent from two to three minutes when he was alarmed by a piercing shriek , and on hastening to the spot he found the deceased lying close to the saws in an insensible state, his left arm completely cut through between the shoulder and elbow-joint, and only a dhering by a small piece of skin. H e h a d him removed immediately to the hospital. The deceased had no business at that spot, and he had fre quently chastised him for playing with the saws. After the accident he picked up a small piece of wood, partly sawn through, which deceased admitted he was playing with when the action of the machinery was too strong for him and he was pulled over it, his left arm falling across the working saw. Mr. Mountford, house surgeon, stated that the left arm was cut through as clean as if it had been amputated scientifically. The deceased went on very well for some days, when fever supervened, which clused his death on Wednes day. Verdict, " Accidental death." PRIMROSE-UILL PARK.—On Thursday evening the North London Anti-Enclosure Society met at Chalk Farm, Mr. Fallon in the chair. The following resolution was una , nimously agreed to, viz.:—" That the Commissioners of her Majesty's Woods and Forests, in rnswer to the applications of this society for the lighting of the new pathway through Primrose-hill Park, leading from the Portland to the Hemp stead-road, having expressed themselves favourable to such proposal, provided it was not at the expense of their board, a committee of this society be formed to receive the subscrip- I tions in aid of so desirable an improvement," &c. i Style pervades the object; manner floats on the surface. —.Ehza Cook's Journal.

WHY THE CLERGY ARE CALLED ROOKS. At the agricultural dinner held at Warrington, when tha health of the rector was given, the Hon. and 11,-..v. Horace .Powys responded in a speech of some humour. He sa'd—Gentlemen, if you can ima gine such a position, I feel that I am placed in a very bad one. I feel as if I were taken bodily possession of by a strange congregation, put into a strange pul pit, and given a text to preach from when I do not know the subject which the text alludes to; and as when a man gets into a difficulty he has rather a high precedent as to the mode of getting out of it—when he is in one he ordinarily sets himself about throwing in a bone of contention amongst those who are listen ing to him I INN at once epply myself to what I know to be a subject of agricultural discussion, and, I be lieve, of wide difference of opinion. I remember once dining in company amongst a large number of far mers, and one of them very good, naturedly and face tiously alluding to my presence in the company, said he thought the farmers could do exceedingly well, if it were only to get rid of certain expenses which they had felt too long; and, I believe, that there is a bird which is the ordinary representative of those who usually wear the same colour in their clothing.— (Laughter.) I have heard there is a very wide dif ference of opinion on the subject of the merits and demerits of the rook, and I have beard certain sports men say that they are very injurious birds to them, inasmuch as they suck the eggs, and otherwise destroy great quantities of game.—(Hear and laughter.) I only know I have not paid any very great attention to this portion of the subject, but I have also heard numerous complaints that they do a great deal of mischief amongst the seeds ; and I have heard others, who know most perhaps about the subject, say that this is a great mistake ; that they merely rid the farm of venomous insects ; and that it is the habit of the rook, by some extraordinary providential dispen sation, to be able at a great distance to mark and ascertain where the noxious vermin lies at the root of unprofitable grass. So he descends and plucks up the grass, feeds on the worms, and makes room for more fruitful herbage.—(Hear, hear, and laughter.) Now, I believe that is our trade and profession, gentlemen —(Great applause and laughter)—and, therefore, this particular district must not expect from me any very enlightened practical illustrations on farming or agri cultural principles. I believe I know the difference between a bull and a cow—(Laughter)—but I be lieve it is quite as much as I do know.—(Continued laughter.) However, I feel it is my duty to aid the farmer as much as I can do by moral means, or by any powers I may possess given me by others. Anything which is noxious to the moral and intellectual welfare of the country must materially affect its industrial occupations.—(Hear, hear.) lam always rejoiced to find myself in the presence of farmers, and I hope, as far as I shall possibly be enabled to do so, to main tain that part of the controversy which certainly sets forth the fact that rooks are an advantage to a com munity, by feeding on vermin and devouring them STRANGE CREDULITY. A singular case of audacious imposition and ridi culous credulity occurred at Gosport last week. A woman called at a house in Chapel-street to inquire if there were any umbrellas or parasols wanted mend ing. The servant girl informed her that there was not ; upon which she said to the girl, who is a raw import from the country, " Good luck attend you, my dear ; shall I tell your fortune, or rule your planets ?" The girl replied that she had no money. However, after a little persuasion, and a promise on the part of the sybil that she would tell her " the young man's name," she gave her threepence. This, however, was not enough to bribe Fate, and so the creature said she must cross her hand with a piece of silver or gold. The girl went to her box and fetched sixpence for her. Upon which she went away, saying she must go to the bottom of the street to see if she could " turn the seven stars for sixpence:' The seven stars, however, appear to have been exceed ingly stubborn, as she returned for some more money; the girl, however, had no more, so she asked for some articles of clothing that had :no holes. Forthwith a shawl and petticoat were produced by the credulous simpleton; the woman _took them away and said she would bring them back next morning at seven o'clock. However, in about two hours she came back, bring ing another woman with her, declaring—such rub bish as we should scarcely imagine the most degraded savage would believe. By their united persuasions they induced her to lend them another gown and a shawl, and went away promising all sorts of presents, and, most delightful of all, telling her that she should be a wife in three months, and the mother of four children ! They then left, promising to return the articles of clothing the following morning. It is almost useless to say that neither Fate nor the "seven stars" have as yet forwarded any of the rich presents ; and the sybil has entirely failed in returning any of the clothing of which she so mercilessly fleeced this silly servant-maid.

In the present instance, however, we have to award to the Dublin officials, the merit of bEing the first to avail themselves of that very valuable accession to our store of useful substances-gutta percha. Most people who have had anv thing to do with patents, are aware that the impression of the Irish great seal has been hitherto made in a sort of wax, ofraisive both to the mei and touch, and of so brittle a nature as scarcely to bear carriage, and above all, " used to the melting mood." Instead of this, gutta percha is now used, and with manifest advantage. The gutta percha seal possesses a boldness and sharpness of outline which we have seldom seen equalled even in the choicest medals. We hope to see it . soon adopted alsoifor the English and Scottish seals. — Mechan i cs' Maguzine. MOST DETERMINED SUICIDES, YESTERDAY.—EarIy in the morning Mr. Richard Pemag, master builder, 33, Newman-street, Portman-market, aged 50, was found hang ing, quite dead, from a gas-pipe staple in the ceiling of the kitchen. No cause can be assigned. Deceased always ap peared in good spirits, enjoyed the best health, and was pros perous in business. William Adams, aged 66, an inmate of Marylebone Workhouse Infirmary, was found dead in one of the water-closets, his intestines protruding from his stomach, which he had cut across with a razor. The torture which he endured from triple strangulated hernia drove him to the commission of this dreadful act. ARREST OF A SCOTCH FORGER IN NEW YORK.-. On the 15th of July last, information reached the Glasgow authorities that James Forbes, an Aberdonian, had forged several bills of large amount in Aberdeenshire, and absconded. Mr. Donald M' Lean, sheriff's officer, having received instruc tions to ferret out Forbes, immediately male a sifting inves tigation, and traced him to Glasgow. lie was satisfied that the man had taken his passage with Hamilton Brothers, to sail by the Corra Linn to New York, on the 26th of June, and that be had shipped the following day while the vessel was lying at the Tail of the Bank off Greenock. This infor mation was in course communicated to Aberdeen; and by Mr. M'Lean's suggestion that a person going by the next Liverpool steamer to New York could be there in time to ap prehend the forger when he landed by the Corra Liun, an officer was sent off. The result was the apprehension of the astonished prisoner, who, on Sunday last arrived at the Broomielaw with the City of Glasgow, and has since bees committed to stand his trial at Aberdeen.—Dculy Mail.
