Bow few of the vis'tors of the Gre at Industrial Exhibition "in consider how many hearts and heads and limbs have ached to produce the mineral, mechanical, and artistica' wonders that now rote the Crystal pal ice ; and, besides tho s e triumphs of mankind, many thousands of men, equally d eserving of success, have, oorm - r."'" many different c tuse 4 , altogethe r failed to complete Oe w upon which their whole energies have b een expended for N months perhaps their whole means exhausted ! The Crystal rad ace contai ,, s the result of immense talent and industry ; but the Wonders there accumultted are also the results of cares and anxieties unparalleled in the history of art, manufactures, and commerce. Ought it not to teach our w, althy classes an important 'ess;:n ? Art, science, and manufactures, umatro nised and unprotect e d , would progress but slo w ly , i f at all ; but when the nobility and gentry see at one view the wonders that can be achieved under the fostering care e those who can afford it, there is some hope that the disposi tion to encourage the ingenuity and perseverance of mankind may be universally promoted by this gigantic example of what can be achieved. Be who patronises industry is a public benefactor. It was this consideration th it indit , ed Messrs. E MO:ES and SON to enter at once upon a system which enabled them to employ hun dreds of excellent industrious workmen where others would only employ tens. Is must be obvious to all ref cuing men that under the oir. system of large profits he who looks only to himself might clear as much out of ten men's labour as Messrs. E. MOSES and Su N Can, with their limited pr .fits, out of the labour of a hundreA. But they have the satisfaction to know that the more capit .1 they can use, and the less profit they exact, the more they can patronise the industry of the country, by finding men constant work and instant payment for their labour, while by these means they produce an . article at nearly half the'usual, and far bette• at that price, th in has ever been produced before. But the consequence of employing a large capital and numb ers of people does not end in the mere fact ou- o low Prices ; 'or these very low prices for good clothing enable th f sands to dress respectably who could not do so were the old prices prevailing. Until Messrs. E. MOSES and SON established their system of trailing it was impossible t t obtain good cheap clothing ; now the poorest of the labouring classes can dress in string and good clothing according to their circumstances. All classes can dress Well—all classes ought to dress well. it is worth the consideration of the wealthy, whether they ought not to save half the cost of their own dress and their servants' livery, if It were only for t he oppor tunity of dispensing the amount in b ene volence. Messrs. E. MOSES and SON invite all classes to see their enormous STOCK of DRESS, appropriate for everybody. Buy or not buy, no matter, when they have seen they will believe in the beauty and extent or a stock and an establishment to which it is difficult, it not impossible, to do InStice by description.

HO.) The leading principles of this Office ar3 --Moderate and equitable Rates of Premium for each class or fist —Annual division of Profits. the difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion ..nemium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fire has been so treat, that the rates at present charged are more the result of guess than calculation. It has been found by experience, that the total annual lo4ses of the different Established Companies have not been proportionate to the amount of annual Premiums received by each. It is of the higheat iraportance, both to the Insured and Insurers, tr ue such an anomaly should cease, and an approximation to the true risk be made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu rance Company is established. The true rate of Premium for Fire Insurance can only be ap goached through Classification and Average, which has net hitherto been sufficiently acted or systematically applied. Whatever be the nominal rate. the bonus or return periodically to the Insured will determine the true Premium equitably payable, as . security against loss for so great a calamity as fire, and the insurer is largely interested in this question, and will consult his interest by supporting a system where, by a careful combination the of Cl risk .assifica-' tion and Average, the Pre mium will be proportioned to The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant analysis of its own experience, from time to titre, adopt such rates of Premium as the nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to enter into arrange ments as regards tariffs with other offices. With this view an annual investigation will be made into each class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fluty per cent. of the nett excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have been in force for three years.

The FOURTH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the Proprie tors of this Company took place on the 25th instant, at the Head Office, at One o'clock precisely.

This is far Is below the expectedhow mortality, and is especially favourable, when it remembered severely the life offices generally suffered frotm the epidemic Of lad year. The number of lives assured between the Ist of June, 1549, and the 31st of ‘1 ay, 11150, was more than double the number issued in the twelve months preceding.

On the first binding of the staircase is an excellent likeness of the late Duke in his peer's robes, Passing through the library front, and turning to th e left, along an avenue of magnificent chesnuts and cedars, we reach the gardens and conservatories the latter form a long semi-circular range of buildings with a lofty central glass dome, in which palms, bread-fruit trees, and other tropical productions, are growing in all their native luxuriance. In front is a large circular fountain, and the beds of flowers around are tastefully and artistically arranged, although few of their beauties are yet developed. In another part of the grounds are the forcing and hothouses, one compartment of which is entirely devoted to the Victoria Regia lily, of whichahere are a number of fine specimens in dif ferent stages of growth. The water is kept at a high temperature, and by means of machinery is kept in con atant motion, to imitate the currents of the great .South American rivers, in which it was originally discovered. There is also an American garden and many other objects of interest which we must pass over, and return by a winding walk along the erne -Mental water to the house.

HEALTH of LONDON during the WEEK. (From the Report of the Registrar-Greneral.) the The rate of mortality that now prevails in metropolitan population is still higher than from the experience of late years might 'be expected at the beginning of May. The death., which in the previous week had risen to 1,075: have declined in the week ending last Saturday to 994; but as the average 'of ten 'corresponding weeks is only 883, and, if raised in the supposed ratio of increase of popu lation, does not exceed 963, it appears that there is still an access in the mortality of the present time, above the corrected average, equal to 31. It will be seen, from a comparison of corresponding weeks of 1941-50, that only is: one instance, which occurred in 1948, when small-pox, 'scarlatina, and typhus abounded, were t he deaths more numerous than those registered last week. In the previous week the number of, young persons who died under the age of 15 years was 544, in the last it was 443. Hence it 'appears that , though this latter number is greater than usual, the health of the juvenile part of the population has improved. But the unseason able coldness of the weather is more perceptible in its effects on the old; for in the same period the mortality of this class has increased, the deaths of persons of 60 years and upwards having been in the previous week 216, in she latter 222. The zymotto or epidemic class of disorders exhibits little difference between last "week's results and the average. Fourteen persons, all of whom were children except ) ne, died of smallpox. A death which occurred at the Smallpox Hospital is recorded thus: —Oa. 2,1 slay, a police - consta ble from Lambeth, aged 22 yea Mrs, " smallpox, confluen t, un p rotect,d (20' days)" r. ti; t ors, the registrar, Ads that " the deceased s a id been sent up frost Hampshire to be in attendance at the totnibition, and with some others f the police was at tacked with the disease and conveyed to the hospital at Upper Holloway." I:looping cough is on the decline, though it numbered Last week 57, whilst the corrected evelage is 45. There were also 5 deaths from croup and 11 from influenza In the tubercular class there are 8 at from o scro fula, 8 from tubes nr4senteriea, 145 Irons c o ir o ns wt,ile h% drocephelus, or water in the head, reaches the unusual number of 50. Cephalitis, or inflammation of the brain, which wands in the cldss of diseases which is of the n-rvous system, was also fatal in 19 cases, n.-arty double the usual number. The ,69 deaths trout the two last-mentioned complaints, cephalitis and hydro cephalus, occurred, with only three exceptions, among children, and exceed the corrected average by 24. SEABORNE MAILS.

On Tuesday a court was held upon the subject of the gown of - the Ward' of Bridge Without, vacant by the death of Sir Claudius Stephen Hunter. The Town CLERK read the opinion of the law-officers of the Corporation upon, the matter of the petition of certain inhabitants of the Borough of Southwark, to be alloWed to elect 'an Alderman to represent them in the Court of Aldermen.'' ' The petition had been presented at the last court. , The document, which was signed by the -Recorder, the Common Sergeant,:the judges of the Sheriffs' Court, and the solicitor, stated that, having duly considered the petition presented to the court; tlie - li*;offieers, in pur suance of the resolution then passed, were of opinion that the court ought not in respect of . the election of an alder man for the Ward of Bridge Without, to depart from the practice which has prevailed in respect of such elec tions under the acts of Common Council, passed in the years 1711 and 1725. After a few observations from some of the members, the court was cleared; and in the absence of stranger. the court, we understand, unanimously resolved _to act upon the opinion delivered by the law officers; and the Lord Mayor accordingly put the question to Sir John Key, the next alderman in rotation to Alderman Thomp son, who had declined the office in compliance with the • earnest request of the constituency of-the ward of Cheap, of which be has been for a number of years the highly.' respected representative, whether he was willing to re ceive, to accept, and . to • take the office of alderman of the Ward of Bridge Without? Sir Joan KEY said—l have-given the subject my.most serious consideration, and since the last Court assembled I have consulted several friends, on whose judgment place fat more reliande than I place upon my own. I' have also listened with great ,attention to the nishes and opinions of my friend, Mr. Alderman Thompson, and my other brethren of the Court, who all seem to concur in opinion, that the question is one in which are involved, not so much my own private epinion us the rights and privileges of this ancient corporation, and having always , through life, in, all positions in which I have been placed, taken an active. part in the support of those rights and privileges, I have, come to the determination of accepting the honourable . position of Alderman of Bridge Without. With regard to the opinion which seems to be so prevalent that the . situation is a' sinecure, If there were any ground for entertaining such an opinion, I•certninly-wonklbave! felt considerable hesitation in accepting it, but as it is one in which I shall be called upon to perform with equal activity as upon former occasions my magisterial and corporate duties, I feel no hesitation at all in con curring with what appears to me to be the general sen. timent of my brethren of the Court. . The necessary forms were then gone through, and Sir John Key became alderman of the Ward of Bridge Without. The Lord Mayor was then requested to issue his pre cept for the election of an alderman of the Ward of Langbourn, vacant by the acceptance of the gown of the Ward of Bridge Without by Sir John Key, Bart. The duties of the alderman of the ward of. Bridge Without are precisely similar to those performed by the aldermen of the other wards, with the exception of the bolding of wardmotes—a duty which occupies but a very insignificant portion of the time of the members. TOTE OF CONDOLENCE TO LADY HUNTER. Upon the motion of Alderman THOMPSON, seconded by Sir PETER LAURIE, the Town Clerk was directed to draw up and present to Lady Hunter a resolution of condolence upon the lamented death of her husband. • The Court did not separate without paying a high tribute of respect to the memory of Sir C. S. H unter, and Alderman Kelly, in particular, expressed feeli n gs of deep regret at the event, which had deprived the Court of a gentleman whose kindness and experience had ren dered such service to all the junior members in the per. Toro:mice of their important duties. The Court then adjourned. ROYAL HUMANE SOCIETY. The seventy-seventh annual festival of this society was held yesterday at the Freemasons' Tavern, Great Queen -street. It had been anticipated that his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge would have presided on this occasion, but a letter from his Royal d been ' Highness was read to the assembly, stating that he h a mid. denly required to proceed to Ireland, and th hit it w ould be be impossible for him to be present. ns ab Mr: Benjamin Bond Cahbell, MX., took the chair, and a fter the usual loyal toast s, he proposed the toast of the evening, " Prosperity to the Royal Humane Society." The society, he said, had already existed for upards of seventy years, and it was DOIV nearly a century since public attention had been called in this country to the propriety of providing relief and assistance to those whose lives should be endangered by the casualties of land or sea. It was a singular circumstance and onp_of itectiliar interest to,lie society, Plat, on this occasion, they had present not only the son of the founder of the society (Dr. Hawes), but three of his grandchildren.—(Hear, hear.) They must attach a pe culiar honour to this fact, for the name of that family was as much interwoven with the history of the country as with the history of this institution.—(Hear, hear.) He was sure that he could propose prosperity to no institution which was more conducive to the cultiva tion of the better feelings of mankind than that which be would now propose, namely, the Royal Humane Society.—(Li , uct applause) At this stoat of the proceedings, a procession wag formed of such persons as had been saved through the instrumenta lity of the Royal Humane Society, who bore banners and flags, adorned with mottoes and inscriptioos, expres sive of their gratitude to the society tor the inestimable benefit which they had derived from the generous and suc cessful efforts of the Royal Humane Society to preserve their lives. Lord Powis proposed the health of the Chairman, which was drunk with great enthusiasm. The health of the treasurer, Mr. Hawes, having been proposed, he returned thanks, and informed the society that he bad been so tar blesse d as to have been enabled to attend the anniversary or the society for sixty sucees sive years.—(Loud applause) Ho hoped that this would not be the last time on which he would have occasion to address . the friends of the Royal Humane Society.— (Hear, bear.) Eleven honorary silver medallions' were presented for oases of rescue, attended by extraordinary c..urage and risk of life, and thirty-five honorary bronze medals were awarded. The thanks of the society were presented to twenty-one individuals, and 121'claimants received pecuniary rewards. Mr. Sanders, M.P., ad dressed a few words to the assembly; and the chairman proposed the health of the treasurer (Mr. Hawes) and the committee of , management, which was drunk with much enthusiasm. Shortly afterwards the meeting dis persed. ST. ANN'S SOCIETY. This institution held its anniversary dinner at the London Tavern yesterday evening. The attendance of the friends and supporters of the society was unusually num er o us; the lion. Edward H. Stanley , M.P., presided. After the usual loyal toasts had been given, the children, who are clothed, maintained, and educated by the so ciety, walked round the room, and presented, in their healthy and intelligent countenances, evidence of the excellence of the charity more convincing than anything its most eloquent advocate could adduce. The CHAIRMAN, in proposing " Prosperity to the In stitution," stated that the school of this corporation was male the asylum of children whose parents had seen bet ter days, and observed that its advantages were not con fined to any particular class or locality, but that it em braced persons of every nation. Since the establishment of the society upwards of 1,000 boys and 600 girls had been placed out or apprenticed, and there were now nearly 300 children under the care of the society. A few years since, th e society was in debt 2,0001 . t o Messrs. Glyn and Co., and 3001. to the treasurers, Messrs.. Attwood, both of which debts , with interest, had been. wholly paid; new schoolrooms had been built, and ex tensive repairs had been made at the Royal Asylum, at an expense ot more than 1,2001, the whole of which had been raised and paid. The number of children in the Royal Asylum had been nearly doubled; children had been admitted at the age of seven instead of eight years; their comforts bad been much increased and their edu cation exceedingly improved. Capacious galleries in Streatham new church had been p_urchased in perpetuity for 3151, which was also paid. The society had been incorporated by Act of Parliament; and, during the same period, the society had funded upwards of 12,000 1 . At the same time, the object of the institution was not to accumulate wealth. Observing the strictest prudence 1 and economy, they still depended upon the goodwill of the public, and he hoped that he was justified a in causeo antici pating the cordial support of that public in s wholly and entirely philanthropio.---(Cheers.) The appeal of the Hon. Chairman was very readily responded to, for, before the close of the evening, the amount of contributions to the funds of the society was upwards ot 1,5001 :_ ____-----_ . . - we t The competitors y esterda y fo r the championship and the heavy stakes , ills e 1 1 o t b h e a r t t C h t ( i ) o a te or b a es ry h . woknown, othe aspired T w ere It and Thomas o: t m he a e kin n n ez eocit Richmond,diitinction..

He first came into notice as a sculler in 1835, and from that time step by step be ascended the moun tain-of celebrity until his final triumph of . yesterday. $e twice was a competitor for th e championship against Charles Campbell, who had long held it. In the first of these matches, from Westminster to Putney, thirteen .years ago, he was defeated without standing a s hadow of chance; but after a succession of struggles attended with better success be renewed his claim to the title, and after an interval of something like eight - ,years rowed and de feated Charles Campbell with about the same ease as the otEerhad previously vanquished him. Robert Ne well, a capital eculler and burly game fellow, has thrice tri ed, but in vain, to pluck the laurels from his brow; the re nowned Henry Clasper, the hero and champion of the Tyne, threw down the gauntlet, but was worsted by the champion, who had been and still is invincible. Of Mae. kinpey muchlgss can be said, as be has neither been so laug afloat, nor distinguished himself in the same man ner, u his antagonist. His great debUt was in 11145, as the winner of Mr. E van Morris's coat and badge, at the Thames Regatta. He subsequently ex hibi te d much game and stamina, defeated Thomas Coombes, and in the scullers' contest at the Thames boat-races last season so bore away the palm from the greatest men of the day --excepting R. Coombes—as to induce his friends to back him for a stake of 2001. to contend for the cham pionship yesterday. The weather was most agreeable and congenial for such sport. A lovely and seasonable change had come o'er the scene from the previous day. The South ' Western Railway and steam-boats were literally be sieged, and at Putney, Hammersmith, and every part of the shore or river in the course, presented thousands upon thousands of spectators. The Citizen J, on board of which there were many continental visitors, the Childe Harold, the Locomotive, and the Echo steamers, were all crowded with com pany; and the Leander (eight), the Westminster Scholars, the Thames, and other celebrated aquatic clubs, with every description of boat, were put into re quisition; and a more interesting or animated scene, as the hour for the contest approached, it would be difficult to describe. At a quarter to six the rival candidates moved towards Putney-bridge to row a clear right away wager to Mort lake (nearly opposite the Ship). Both looked full of confidence and health; and although Mackinney had the great advantage of being 12 years and a taw months the younger, and nearly three parts of a stone the heavier max, Coombes was backed freely at 5 and 6 to 4; and a very large amount was laid out at that price, the takers being extremely eager. Mr. E. Searle, ot the firm of Searle and Sons, having taken his place in the head of the Locomotive, which had been roped off, so that be might be appealed to w ithout hindrance by the partisans on either side, pre parations were made for the start, the steamers and other boats so arranging themselves as not in any way to impede the course. Coombes took his station on the Middlesex side of the centre arch of Putney-bridge, his opponent being on the Surrey side. At twelve and a half minutes past six o'clock a capital start was ffected, and Meckinney immediately h=gan to show the stem ot his boat slightly in front, and up to op posite Mesers. Searle's premises might be said to have retained precisely the same lead, as though stationary. From this place, amidst deafening shouts from all bob Ma; hinny forced his pace so as to get his boat completely clear of his adversary; ttut he was not long allowed to 4nj , >37 ‘‘ the pride i,f place." The pace on both sides was killing, and it Ness obvious that one or the other must suer' give way. Oar nearing Cra ven Cowie the renowned Champion put on a spurt e Heti in a dozen strokes changed the aspect e f things, and rilae , d his boat's nose a c oups. of f-er in front. Mackinney applied himself aglin to his work with e‘ ea itierr used pibw. r; but hr. held his sit bt .er.d un'y for a as merit. for in the an xt Coombes again " put oq the at m" to such a tune as to shwt his wore youthful ad t,•% MY! , (0A... The heat ot the contest might now have been considered partially abated, but the ceerege itikp uyro b J eleckteney, and his repeated at. °mots to regain his lost position, must have been most atioactory- more so, indeed, than his style, which was embarrassed and far inferior to his opponent's, which, indeed, might fairly be consid, red as the finest develop nt ot the art ot rowing ever witnessed. All Mackin ney's eff Jts, plucky as they certainly were, were tam.. vatting.

This suburban mansion of his Grace the Duke o, Northumberland wee in Tuesday thrown open by the I,berality of the Noble proprietor to the public, who were utfotded an opportunity of viewing the state apartments and promeceding through the conservatories and specious pleasure-grounds, a privilege which we un derstand will be continued while the Great Exhibition retnalus open. Sion tleuse, as' must be w,ll known to all above-bridge excursionists, stands on the north bank of tilts Tnames a little beyond Brentford. The grounds are extensive and beauti•ully laid out. and the mansion is so placed that owing to tee winifinge of the river it may he said to have two riser fronts, the sou h and the library wings. Exteriorly it e xhibits o a f architectural decoration o r embellishment, turtning massive-looking solid square of yellow stone witie ha!- tlemented top. Like Northumberland House, Charing cross, the Duke's town reside nee, and Buckiligham Palace, the square is hollow, which enables all the rooms to be thoroughly lighted and ventilated The interior court is filled !site fruit trees, fie veers, and flower ing shruba, and is termed " the Nuns' Garden," Sion House being the site ot an ancient religious order once established here. It was one of the last convents sup pressed, and obtained some celebrity from the circuna std.nce of the remains of Henry VIII. being deposited here for a night, when the funeral cortege was on its way to Windsor. Sanding about halt a mile from the main road between Brentford and Hounslow. its exact po,ition is little known to the casual traveller on n the high road, although for a long period the bitants of Brantford an d Isleworth have, by the permission of the Duke, " a right ot way" across the grounds in front of the principal entrance. Proceeding through the main avenue, and crossing a rustic bridge thrown over a sheet of water in the park, a circular gravel walk conducts to the main entrance under a lofty portico. The entrance-hall is of fine propertions, the flooring of black and white-chequered marble, and it is en riched by several statues from the antique, among which the dying gladiator, in bronze, may be referred to as a beautiful work of art. To the right of this is an apartment termed the vestibule, supported en pillars of verd and antique marble, brought by the pre sent Duke's grandfather from Italy, and said to have been taken out of the Tiber. The flooring is of mosaic, and is an exquisite specimen of inlaying, and is highly polished. The ceiling is divided into carved and deco rated compartments. Next to this is the state dining room, painted in French white and gold, the niches along the sides of the room aro filled with statues, and the tables and consoles are inlaid with mosaic. At the far ther end are two marble busts of Leopold Saxe Coburg (the present Kieg of the Belgians), and the PriLlCeaa Charlotte, by Turnerilli. The stated rawinwroome which stands next, is a light and eleg apartment odf large dimensions, hung with crimson damask embroidere in silver, with the chairs, couches, ottomans, Ste., ex s uite; the ceiling is paint ed on medallions by d bor Angelica Kauffman with highly - enrich ed and gildeders. (tee of the most interesting and b ea utiful ornaments of t hi s apartment is a cystal vase on a carved gold pedestal. It was presented to the Duke of Northum berland when Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, by the ladies of that country, as a token, which the pedestal indi cates, " Ireland's gratitude." The vase was his Grace by the Duchess of Leinster. The base of the pedestul is a stag's head in Irish oak. There are also ornaments in Kilkenny coal, and various Other productions of the country. Surmounting it is a female figure representing Erin, with the national harp in dead silver, and above all a pbeeeix holding a late() pearl in its beak. The gold, silver, emeralds, diamonds, the pearl, and all the component parts of this unique and classical ornament are said to be Irish produc tions. The slabs of the side tables are mosaics taken from the ancient Roman baths. The colonnade, a noble apartment, running the entire length of the building and looking out upon the river, is sometimes called the library. It is painted in light blue and gold, and over the windows are medallions of the eleven Dukes of Northumberland, other compartments on the opposite side being filled with paintings by Angelica Kauffman, the colours of which are as fresh and bril liant as the day they were laid on. At the further end is an ottoman formed of a singular trophy found at the palace of Lahore, and sent to this couta! try by Lord Hardingo. It is somewhat like a state bed, piled with cushions, the pillars being of solid silver curiously carved, and is said te have belonged to Ackhar, one of the most dj-,e tinguished Indian princes of the sixteenth century.

Considering that our foreign trade in woollen cloths has greatly declined within the last few ye era in consequence of the French and Germans having taken the lead of the English manu facturers in the American and Russian markets, the result of the competition thus engendered was looked forward to with considerable interest. The contest, it was generally admitted, would rest with the manufac turers of the West of England and Yorkshire. An bble and impartial body of judges were appointed, and among the many candidates who presented themselves they se lected the following:—Messrs. J. and P.

DEATH OF A NEGRO BY STRANGULATION. --An inquest was held on Thursday, by T. C. Maynard, Esq., on the body of William Macdonald, miner, aged 70 years. Mr. Matthias Dunn, the Government Inspector for Mines, was present during the examination. From the evidence, it appeared that on Monday morning the deceased descend e h d the shaft of B pit, Monkwea rinouth colliery, and, along wit about sixty other men, mo unted on a train of waggons, to descend an incline of 1,400 yards, to the inner part of the workings.' They were proceeding down the incline, when the rope suddenly broke, owing to the jerking of the en gine on its fir t starting into motion, and the waggons ran amain, but were fortunately stopped by an inge nious apparatus termed a " bull, ' which is attached to the train. On examination the deceased was found to have been strangled between two of the waggons. A verdict of accidental death was returned by the jury. The deceased was formerly a slave in the INest Indies, but about forty years ago, having met with some English sailors at Jamaica, he learned that England was a land of freedom, and resolved to escape from slavery. He accordingly con cealed himself on board a vessel bound for London. For three days be remained below, till he was nearly starved to de ith ; force' by hunger he at last made his appearance on deck, to the great astonishment of the sailors, who gave him food and treated him with kindness. As soon as the vessel arrived at London his love of liberty was so intense that he instantly leaped on shore, though imperfectly c'othed, with out either money or friends, and with an imperfect know ledge of the English language. After may vicissitudes he found his way to Sunderland, and has worked in the neigh bouring collieries for a number of years as a coal hewer. Hsas an industrious man, a member of the Church Es e g land, and much reipected by his neighbours.— Sunder of land Herald.
