The theatre there, t he says, is of rather large dimensions,and the fronts of the tiers of boxes and gallery, instead of panelling, as in our English theatres, consist of balustrading, painted white, with gold mouldings, and the effect Is exceedingly light and pretty, as well as cool. The seats in the pit are all divided by arms, and each seat lifts up and discloses a small box, in which to place the hat of a person occupying it—a very capital contrivance. The seats are called lunetas, and may be hired by the year or for the evening. They are all num bered ; and as only the same number of tickets are issued as correspond with the number of the sittings, the place is never invJuveniently crowded,--The Builder.

" • • • ebrentim rnL LONDON, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 185 The reports of the Presidents of the Queen's Col leges, or as they have been euphoniously termed the " Godless " Colleges, in Ireland, which have just been published, afford abundant evidence that the denunciations of " the Most Rev. PAUL," aided and supported by the diatribes of the " Lion " of Thane, the pastorals of the dove of Elphin, and even the resolutions of the Synod of Thurles, have not induced the intelligent and educated mem bers of their creed to reject the inestimable advan tages offered by the new institutions for the education of their children. The " colleges" still flourish, and pupils still flock in, notwithstanding the organised opposition that has been put forward. We do not find the grass growing in their courts, as was boldly pro phecied by ultramontanist seers, nor have the Roman Catholic gentry withdrawn their sons from the lec ture-rooms as from pest-houses. The progress of these valuable institutions appears to be as great as could fairly have been anticipated, and it is the more satisfactory, as it proves beyond the po ss ibilit y of doubt that there are persons determined to judge fur themselves, who will not surrender their opinions into the hands of a bare majority of the bench of bishops. The Right Reverend Gentlemen may perchance feel astonished at the discovery that their authority is not quite so despotic as they had fondly supposed, and that any of their flocks should venture to think or act for themselves without previously obtaining ecclesiastical sanction. It is, however, an unquestionable although a painful fact, and may teach a salutary lesson to sacerdotal would be despots. It is also shown that there never was a greater mistake than supposing that any danger to faith or morals was incurred by the students, or that their religious training was altogether neglected. In every case, as remarked by Mr. EDWARD BER, WICK, the amiable and talented President of the Gal way College, " the religious and secular education went hand in hand ; the latter given by the accom plished scholars who fill the professorial chairs, a large number of whom are Protestants—the former dispensed by the clergyman, who, in accordance with the statutes, had entered upon his office under the sanction of the con stituted authorities of the Church." Perhaps it would be impossible to find any body of young men more attentive to religious duties and religious instruction than the students have been. One day in the week has been appropriated to that purpose, and the re spective Deans of Residence have expressed their en tire and unequivocal satisfaction at the attendance they have received and the attention exhibited• Whether belonging to the Church of England, the Presbyterian, or the Roman Catholic persuasions— they have worthily discharged their duties with credit to themselves and benefit to the rising generation committed to their charge. 'Whence, then, the accusations that have been so freely and unsparingly preferred of the total absence of such instruction, and almost Atheistical tendency of the courses prescribed ? Alas ! these grave charges were preferred, not because there was a want of re ligious education to all persons willing to receive it, but because all opportunities of proselytism and pro pagandism were forbidden. The tenets of one creed could not be forced upon the members of another without the assent of their parents or guardians, and, horrible to relate, it was possible to receive a sound practical education without surrendering the con science of the neophyte into the hands of a priest of any communion. " Hine ilise lachrymal)." Hence the objurgations of those who found that they should be contented with retaining their own without invading the provinces of others, or seeking to withdraw the pupils from the spiritual banners under which they had enliited. This it was that made an enemy of CuLLEN, that rendered M'HALE rampant, and drove Ihooiss almost out of his sense 3. They fancied that the time had arrived for banishing heresy from Ireland, qnd restoring England to the Papal fold. They were not contented with equality—they sought superiority. They followed the example of 'flatly of the Protestant clergymen in Ireland, who, when the national system of education was introduced under the auspices of the then Lord STANLEY, op posed it with all their powers, and uttered the loud est complaints, because they were not permitted to instil their own tenets into the ears of the pupils, and to exclude the religious interference of Pastors of another denomination, so far as members of their own creeds were con cerned. This insane conduct, so injurious to the cause of Protestantism in Ireland—the ministers of that creed in too many instances standing proudly aloof, and declining any interference because they were not permitted to inculcate their own doctrines, and thus surrendering the care and superintendence of the rising generation into the hands of their op ponents—is now being imitated by a large propor tion of the Roman Catholic clergy, not in accord ance with their own individual views, but in obedi- ence to the instructions from the Vatican. They were wiser in their generation, eighteen years since, than they have now shown themselves, and they reaped the fruits of their moderation. Now they are pursuing a different line of policy, and the result may possibly not quite answer their expecta tions. They now desire to enforce a slavish and unreasoning submission from lay professors of their creed—to strike a desperate blow for despotic power. Let them, however, be ware; they have already, by their unwarranted assumptions in this country, succeeded in alienating the Duke of NORFOLK and other high-minded and educated Roman Catholics. An equally impo litic course in Ireland— the following out of the path on which they have entered under the guidance of CULLEN and Wllar.l3 may produce consequences far beyond their calcula tions. Let them recollect that in attacking the Queen's Colleges, they are not dealing with the ignorant, uneducated, and superstitious masses, but with educated persons, competent to arrive at sound conclusions, and with sufficient energy to carry out their own opinions, notwithstanding any sacerdotal opposition, no matter how decisive or energetic. The state of affairs in the island of Cuba becomes every day more seriou3; each arrival from America brings intelligence calculated to render the relations between Spain and the United States more compli cated and more dangerous, and nothing but the exer cise on the part of the Government of Spain, and on that not only of the Executive but of the people also of the United States, of a degree of prudence, cir cumspection, and calmness, which, judging from their antecedents, we cannot hope or expect from either of the parties, can much longer ward off a war into whi eh, should it once commence, every maritime nation must of necessity sooner or later be dragged; and for all these consequences the members of the Executive of the United States are alone to blame. Had they placed LopEz under arrest when he first commenced recruiting for his piratical expedition; had they seized the Pamper() as she entered the watery of the Gulf, and they might have done so, or in,terc.epted her on her passage, none of these corn plicati'cns would have arisen. They would have saved the lives of at least fifty of their fellow -citizens who h ave been publicly executed at the Havannah as pirates ; they would have escaped the dangers with which they themselves are threatened fur mass meet ings in .New York, and a state of almost insurrection in New Orleans ; and they would have saved the world frc im the risk of a general war, a war in which no one save the negro slaves, who would probably set thernselve s free, can by possibility gain anything, whilst tin ) losses of all engaged in it, be they victors or vanquished, must be incalculable. It appears from the intellig 'elle() brought by the Humboldt, which left New Yorkon the 23d u lt., an d l an d e d h er l e tt ers a t I ( Cswes on Thursday, that LOPEZ landed at Cubanos with 450 men, and was immediately attacked by the Spaniards, under General ENNA. A series of en gagements followed, in which, according to the ac counts of the American " sympathisers," LOPEZ and his troops were uniformly victorious, albeit these accounts tell us nothing of the whereabouts of the victorious LOPEZ, whilst, according to the official accounts of the Captain-General of Cuba, LOPEZ was defeated, and compelled, with the greater number of his followers, to take refuge in the mountains, where they were hemmed in by the troops, the natives, and the negroes, and would be compelled ultimately to surrender, whilst another portion of his followers had made for the shore, and seizing four boats which they found there, had endeavoured to escape to New Orleans. The Spanish account is corroborated by the fact that these same four boats were pursued by a Spanish war steamer and captured, and that their crews, consisting of forty Americans (among whom was Colonel CRITTENDEN, the son of the Attorney- General of the United States), four Irishmen, one Scotchman, one Italian, one Phillipine Islander, two Habaneros, and two Germans, where publicly shot as pirates at the Ilavannah, on the 16th, in the presence of 20,000 people. That the Spaniards were perfectly justified in thus executing summary justice on a gang of marauders taken with arms in their hands, no one who is at all acquainted with the law of nations will attempt to deny. These persons had been warned by their own Government that the protection due to American citizens would not be awarded to them if they engaged in any piratical expedition of the character of that in which they chose to embark, and the Cuban Government pro claimed that all persons taken in arms against the Spanish Government would be immediately shot ; indeed, the United States consul at the Havannah admitted the full right of the Spanish Government to execute these prisoners by cautiously abstaining from interfering in their favour, although requested so to do. As the editor of the New Furls Courier and Enquirer justly observes— " The simple execution of these prisoners, however much it may excite pity, does not justify crimination. The act was no infringement of any international law or right. Nearly all or the victims were Americans by birth and citizenship; but they were informed mouths ago, in the clearest language, by an official proclamation of the President, that an enlistment in an enterprise like that they have undertaken would deprive them of all claims to American protection; and also were warned by a public manifesto of the Captain• General of Cuba, that if another piratical expedition was attempted against Cuban territory, those taken in it should suffer a pirate's doom. With such a premonition, it was, in fact, an act of mercy that those whose loss we mourn were shot instead of hanged. To shoot regular pri soners of war in cold blood is deemed in modern times a violation of the rights of war;' but these individuals were entitled to no belligerent rights whatever. At the very best they could be put only on the footing of re bellious subjects, and that footing would at once sink them into a bloody grave. We saw at the Park last evening a flag with the inscription, The blood of fifty murdered Americans cries for vengeance.' Doubtless the nerves of many a gocd fellow, as he looked upo❑ it, tingled with indignation. But it was but a base revolu tionary ruse, worthy only of the profoundest contempt." We agree with the Courier in considering the dis play of this flag as a ruse worthy only of the pro foundest contempt, but it happens unfortunately that it is a ruse that has invariably succeeded in raising the hot blood of the masses to fever heat wherever it has been employed, and therefore we cannot but re gret that the execution of these men took place so immediately after their capture, and that no dis tinction was made between any of them ac cording to their different degrees of guilt, but that all were involved in the one common punishment of death, and that inflicted after such a fashion as to give to that which ought to have been an act of stern justice the appearance of a massacre. It is, how ever, a fait accompli, and we must now consider the probable consequences which may arise. A col lision between Spain and the United States seems inevitable; Spain can put no trust in the assur ances of the Executive of the United States when she finds that in command of the buccaneers, among those executed at the savannah, was Colonel W. CRITTENDEN, the son of the Attorney-General of the United States—the son of the man whose duty it was to prosecute all engaged in attempting to fit out this expedition. But even supposing the Executive of the United States desirous of preventing these marauding attacks upon Cuba, it is exceedingly doubtful whether, i❑ the present excited state of public feeling, it could now prevent them ; it might have prevented the departure of LOPEZ and his com- rades, but now that the hot blood is up we fear tha the difficultizs in the way of suppressing these ma• rauding expeditions are almost insuperable. From the feeling exhibited by the Spaniards, the Creoles, and the negroes who were present at the late execu tion at the Ilavannah, it appears to us evident that there is no chance of any of these marauders getting possession of Cuba, unless they are backed by the whole force of the United States, and that ultimately they will be so backed is, we fear, probable. Then will follow a fearful retribution; the last act of Spain in Cuba will be to free and arm the negroes, and the United States will find themselves in volved in a servile war, in which the negroes must ultimately be successful, and which will not be confined to Cuba, but will spread to Florida and all the Southern States, whilst Spain, whose commerce is so trifling as to be almost value less, will issue letters of marque, and the Atlantic and the Pacific will swarm with privateers sailing under the Spanish flag, who will inflict incalculable damage on American commerce, and render the corn munication by sea between New York and California all but impossible. From the Mexican ports on the Gulf and on the Pacific there will issue forth, swift and well armed, privateers who will pick up the gold ships of California, even as of old the galleons of Spain were picked up by the buccaneers; and thus, whilst Spain will lose Cuba, the Americans will not gain it, and will ~, find their commerce seriously crippled, if not altoge ther ruined. A judicious exercise of prudence and self-command by both parties may yet obviate those disastrous consequences which, without the exercise of such prudence, appear to us inevitable; and we sin- cerely and ardently hope that such prudence may be displayed, and that the peace of the world may con tinue undisturbed. In the meantime we again urge upon our Foreign Secretary the necessity of being prepared for all events. This morning an accident, which threatened fatal consequences, occurred to a man named Walker, and a youth named Hodges, in the employ of Mr. Tout, fellmonger, Long-lane, Bermondsey. It appears that Walker and Hodges were larking, when Hodges threw a noose, formed at the end of a piece of rope, round the neck of Walker, at the same moment that the other end of the rope was caught in an upright shaft at work, near which they were standing, by which Hodges's right hand was drawn in and the fingers severely crushed, and the rope so tightened round the neck of Walker as to produce insensibility. They were both con veyed immediately to Guy's Hospital, where Walker is doing well, but it is feared that the youth Hodges, will lose the fingers of his right hand. DREADFUL ACCIDENT IN FLEET - STREET.—This afternoon, at about a quarter past one o'clock, a boy was rid ing i n Fleet-street on a truck, and when near Farringdon street one of the wheels came off, and he was thrown into the middle of the road, when a cab which was pas , ing ran over him. He was taken up apparently dead, and conveyed to St. Bartholomew's Hospital. BOTANICAL SOCIETY OF LONDON.—The ordinary meeting was held last evening at the society's rooms, 20, Bedford-street, Strand; Mr. J. D. Salmon in the chair. Numerous donations were announced, and seven new mem bers elected. Mr. G. Edgar Dennes, the secretary, exhibited specimens of Latersia oryzoides, collected by him at Brock ham-bridge, Surrey, on the 30th August last. Mr. Dennes stated that Mr. Brewer, the society's local secretary at Rei gate, had dried numerous specimens of this rare grass for distribution to the members in January next. The continu ation of Mr. D. Stock's paper, "On the Botany of Bungay, Suffolk," was read. A FEMALE FOUND IN THE THAMES.—Yesterday afternoon, as the F Citizen boat was proceeding upwards, and near Waterloo-bridge, the captain discovered the body of a female floating on the surface of the water. He hailed the Thames police, and four officers put off from their ship in a boat, and conveyed the deceased to the vault of St. Mary le-Strand, for an inquest. The deceased appeared about thirty years of age, respectably dressed, and had apparently been in the water about five or six days.

AMEEICAN WlT.—About the drollest man alive is a chap now in Chicago, well known in northern Vermont by the name of " Tim Wait." Say what you might to Tim, he was always ready with a repartee, and a good one. On one occasion he came into a hotel in Burlington, looking rather jaded and down in the mouth. " What's the matter, Tim ?" said one of the company, " you look rather the worse for for three nghts— wear."—"Why, you see,"said Tim," I haven't slept a wink last night, t o - n i g ht, an d t o - m or r ow night I" i Having set the bar - room in a roar, Tim left to make up fbr hia loss by a triple alma% —l3ostem Post. FilE FRE.NCti REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Committee of Permanance of the Assembly held their usual fortnightly meeting on Thursday. The following report of the proceedings appears in some of the journals : " The Permanent Committee assembled yestesday under the presidency of M. Lacrosse, one of the Vice- Presidents of the NationallAssembly. Twenty-two mem bers were present, of whom eighteen belonged to the committee and four to the bureau of the Assembly. They were—MM. Lacrosse, president ; Benoist d'Azy, vice-president of the Assembly; Yvan, secretary; Le Flo, questor; De Melun, General Changarnier, Vitet, De Montebello, De la Tourette, General de Bar, Adm. Cecille, Poujoulat, Dufougerais, Didier, Gen. Grouchy, Passy, Bernardi, Bucher, General Rullieres, De Kerma rec, De Montigny, and Hubert de Lisle. " M. Lacrosse opened the sitting by communicating to the committee the measures which She Government had thought it its duty to take with regard to several com mittees of revolutionary propagandism, connected with the central one in London. Tho Government has been long aware that branches of the London committee were established in Penis, and that their object was to propa gate revolutionary doctrines, not only in France, but abroad, particularly in Germany, and after having ac quired a positive proof that these estaWishments were in full activity, it ordered a descent of the police, which led to the arrest of a certain number of persons, several of whom were Germans, and the seizure of important papers. One of the chiefs was also arrested at Stras bourg at the moment when he was proceeding into Ger many, having with him proclamations and very important documents. The President, moreover, announced that tranquillity WAS secured, that the Government was on the watch, and was perfectly prepared to put down any attempt at disturbance. As to the departments, nothing new had taken place to give rise to any uneasiness. At tempts had been made in the deparments of the Drome to seduce some sub-officers and soldiers from their duty, but they were attended with little success. The revo lutionary agents had, however, succeeded in comprerois • iog some soldiers, three of whom had withdrawn them selves from oil punishment which awaited them, one by committing suicide, and two others by deserting. The President then, alluding to the state of manufactures, said he was happy to announce to the committee that two of the principal branches—jewebery and cabinet making—which had feared to be without employment in the winter, will be able to furnish work to their nume rous hands by means of the extensive orders which they have received in consequence of the Exhibition of Lon don. Building also was, he said, going on very pros perously in Paris, where the demolitions occasioned by the prolongation of the Rae de Rivoli occupy a number of workmen, and necessitate constructions on other points of Paris. The harvest has been an average one, the most satisfactory state both for the producer and the purchaser, and consequently for the consumer. After this statement of the President several members spoke on the subject of the revolutionary propaganda carried on by the French refugees in London. " A Member of the Committee observed, that for a long time past the British Government had tolerated the political refugees at London in conspiring against all Governments, and that it would, perhaps, be proper for the Committee, through its President, to advise the French Government to come to some understaading wish the English Government on the subject. He asked the President whether the Government had taken any steps in the affair ? " M. Lacrosse replied, that he participated in the un easiness felt by several Members, and doubtless by the Government itself, at the tolerance shown by the Bri tish Government ; that be regarded that tolerance as bad and disastrous, but that he was not in a position to reply to the question addressed to him. " Another Member observed that the English laws permitted refugees to say and write whatever they thought proper, and that so long as they refrained from any act or demonstration the English Government would not interfere. He did not, moreover, think that the per manent Committee could come to any resolution on that point. " A third Member, whom we believed to be Genera Changarnier, remarked that the Committee was not a deliberate body, and had no right to insert on its minutes any mention of such a delicate subject. Its only mission was to watch, and it ought not to depart from its attributions. It had not to meddle in general politics. Besides, he said, the Government had made arrests, and that proved that it was on its guard. The great majority of the Committee thought that the posi tion of the refugees i❑ London, conspiring against their country and against all Governments elsewhere estab lished, was a thing much to be deplored; but that it could not interfere in;the policy of the Government on so delicate a subject. Another member suggested that the arrests made in Paris were perhaps the result of warn ings from the English Government, and the French Government wished to Ise prepared to prove that the proceedings of the refugees were not confined to writings, but extended to criminal acts." The arrests on account of the pretended plot still continue ; up to last night 232 have been arrested. The Patrie, the organ of the Government, admits that many of those arrested are ❑ot concerned in the plot, but that they have been arrested for security's sake, that is to say, to prevent them from taking measures to start a Republican candidate for the Presidency in opposition to the unconstitutional candidature of M. LOUIS NAPOLEON BONAPARTE. It is said to be in contemplation to arrest the prin cipal partisans of the Prince DE JOINVILLE, who are already denounced as revolutionists by the C on stitationn el. We read in the Debats— "lt may be remembered that the members of the Dcmocratical party in the Assembly formed a Commit tfe of Sarveillanc , , consistinz of MM. Victor Hugo, Miot, Joly, and others. It appears that the Committee, having received anonymous warning that the Government intended to have its members arrested in the act of violating the law concerning secret societies, determined to sit in the Legislative Palace itself. Accordingly M. V. Hugo and some others met two days beck in the old Salle du Tame, now used as one of the bu reaux. The Vice-President of the Assembly informed those Members that he could not tolerate the meeting of a C(nveittee of Surveillance, formed illegally, by the side of that regularly nominated by the Assembly. General Leflo, one of the quzators, in consequence, gave orders to interdict to every one during the recess, access to the bureaux and committee-rooms, with the exception of the library and the Salle des Coni-ences, where the deputies remaining in Paris are in the habit of assem bling every day." The same journal has the following on the subject of the re-election of M. Lows NAPOLEON BONA PARTB The Constitutionnel supposes that the party of order will be divided between the Prince de Joinville an't Prince Louis Napoleon. It thus supposes that the latter will be a candidate. But such a supposition is gratui tous, and for the present has as little reality as thqt of the Prince de Joinville. The revision question has yet to be settled. Now, suppose revision should be rejected; will the President allow himself to be presented as a candidate? Would he accept an unconstitutional prolon gation of his powers/ Would ho accept it in defiance of his own oath? Nothing proves that he would ; nay, his acts tend to the opposite conclusion. He is no longer the man of Strasbourg and Boulogne, and we say so to his praise. In 1848 he consented to leave Paris at the request of the Provisional Government. Wh en elected to the Constituent Assembly be at once resigned in order to calm public emotion, and remained in Eng land; nor did he return until all was tr anqu il, t wo months after the insurrection of June. H e r e t urne d, in fact, to accept the constitutional candid a t es hip o f th e Presidency of the Republic; and his acts have s i nce ex hibeitsileteydefindelity to the law and his o a th. O n what ground, then, does the Consittutionnel undertake to say that Louis Napoleon will, in case of the revision being re jected, present, or allow himself to be presented, as a candidate ? We will say no more."

Several arrests of persons charged with political offences have taken place at Baden. Senator Hems has been arrested at Bremen, charged with embezzling the public funds of that city to the amount of 58,000 dollars. The Cologne Gazelle states that the Austrian Go vernment is desirous:of securing the reelection of Louis NAPOLEON BONAPARTE to the Presidency of the French R epu bli c, an d t h at i t w i ll do everything to forward his views. ITALY. The Official Gazette of the Two Sicilies of the 24th ult. gives a long and detailed account of the disas ters caused throughout the kingdom of Naples by the earthquake of the 14th. The shocks experienced in the provinces of Terra di Lavoro and Fri! cipato Ci , eriore were without serious results, but the Prin cipato Ulteriore was severely visited, particularly in the districts of Carbonara, Lacedonis, Calitri, and Monteverde. In the latter place a lady, Donna BERENICE BONITO, was buried under the ruins of a house while giving the breast to her infant. At Bovino, Ascoli, Lucera, and San severino, and other places of Capitanata, most of the houses were seriously injured, but no lives were lost. In the province of Bari, the town of Canosa has suffered most ; 376 houses are in a totter ing condition ; two churches, the town-house, and the arch of Diomedes have been considerably da maged. But the scourge was most severely felt in the province of Basilicata, its effects being chiefly concentrated round the Vultore, where the motion lasted sixty seconds ; and, according to the account, it had not quite ceased by the last advices. One half of Venosa has been destroyed. At Rionero fifty-two dead bodies had been dug out of the ruins on the 16th. At Barile the number of dead amounts to 100; and the town of Melfi, containing 10,000 inhabitants, is a heap of ruins ; 700 persons lost their lives there, and upwards of 200 are severely bruised and wounded. THE SUSPECTED MURDER NEAR MORPETII....-.NEW.• CASTLE-ON-TYNE, THURSDAY NlGHT.—There is now reason to believe that the supposed murder near Morpeth is a mere hoax, and thar the facts which caused so great a sensation in the neighbourhood were ingeniously contrived by Melburn, the supposed murdered man, to conceal his actual departure to America. His affairs are found to be in an unsatisfar•tory state; and an acquaintance of his, who is stated to have been in his company on the night he was last seen, left New biggen for America on Monday last. It will be remembered that in 1848 Martha Prior, charged with the murder of her infant, at Forth End, Great Waltham, was acquitted on the ground of insanity, and or dered to be kept in custody during her Majesty's pleasure. Her inanity having been of a temporary nature, and having arisen from circumstances connected with her confinement, her husband petitioned for her release, supported by certifi cates front various medical gentlemen and the officers of the gaol; and the Home Secretary has authorised her restoration to her family and friends.—Essex Standard. FATAL COLLIERY ACCIDENT.—BRISTOL, SEPT. 5. Information was received here this afternoon of a frightful colliery accident which it is stated occurred on Thursday afternoon at Messrs. Nixon and Company's pit, near Aber dare, South Wales, by the breaking of the chain, whereby it is said fourteen lives were lost. The letter containing the information was written after the mail bags were made up, so that the particulars of the calamity were not given. ANOTHER ASCENT OF MOUNT BLANC.—CHAMOUNY, AUG. 30.—0 n the 27th Mr. Salmond, of Waterfoot, Cum berland, and his son, Mr. Charles Salmond, accompanied by three guides each, left Chamouny at about 10 a.m. The party, eight in all, reached the " Grands Mulets," the usual halting place, about 6r. M., and we-e received with the usual salute from the valley. They recommenced their journey with lanterns at 1 a.m., and reached the top of the ridge about 9 A.m., and were rewarded by a magnificent view on all sides. At this point, however, they encountered a snow storm, which rapidly increased to such a degree of violence that although within 200 feet of elevation of the highest peak they were unable to reach it, and regained the grand plateau with difficulty and some danger. The party arrived at Chamouny in safety at 6 r.at. on the 28th. They seem to have had a fortunate escape, for the next morning the hills were covered with snow almost to their base, and the snow still continues to fall. DISTRESSING ACCIDENT TO VISCOUNT STRATH •LLAx.- It is with deep regret we have to state that this nobleman met with an accident on Friday last, which re sulted in the loss of his right arm. His Lordship, who takes great interest in the application of machinery to agriculture was showing his son, the Master of Stratballan, the work ing of a newly-erected thrashing mill by steam power on his home farm, when his sleeve was caught by the machi nery and his arm severely crushed ere the wheel could be stopped. Dr. Gardiner, of Cried', and other medical assis tance from Auchterarder, were soon on the e pot ; and the amputation of the limb immediately- above the elbow was very skilfully performed. His Lordship stood the operation well, and we are happy so say is doing as well as could be wished. This distressing occurrence has elicited an expression of deep and sincere sympathy throughout the district.—Perthshire Courier. DREADFUL ACCIDENT AT THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY.— Yesterday morning, between eleven and twelve o'clock, a distressing and fatal accident occurred at the Great Northern Railway, Maiden-lane. It appears that a man named Weaver was employed with other men in removing some railway trucks, with a portable crane, when, unfor tunately, it capsized, and tell on the deceased, crushing him beneath its weight. Assistance was immediately procured, at.d the crane removed, when the deceased presented a most mutilated appearance. The body was removed in a shell, to await a coroner's inquest. CORRECT STYLE.—We find the following Male proprian sentence in the Jierbice Gazette:—" A faction com posed, with the exception of a few respectable individuals, of some of the most lowest, and most illiteratist portion of the community, the majority of whom cannot read or write." ADVICE TO YoU•G MEN.—Let the business of any one alone, and attend to your own. Don't you buy what you don't want. Use every hour to advantage, and study to make even leisure hours use:ul. Think twice before you spend a shilling— remember you will have another to make for it. Buy low, sell fair, and take care of the profits. Look over your books regularly, and if you find an error, trace it out. Should a stroke of misfortune come up,n you in trade, retrench—work harder, but never fly to the track. Confront difficulties with unflinching perseverance, and they will dis appear at last ; though you should fall in the struggle, you will be honoured-•-but shrink, and you will be despised. THE GREAT EXHIBITION.—The receipts at the doors of the building yesterday amounted to 1,593/. 7s. 6d., the number of visitors being 15,726. According to the read ings of Bennett's thermometers, the mean temperature was 61.6. LORD BROUGHAM.—Lord Brougham, in answer to inquiries yesterday at the Noble and Learned Lord's man sion iu Grafton-street, was stated to be " quite well," at Brougham Hall, near Penrith, where his Lordship is enter taining a small party. Mr. Rose, who was accidentally wounded by Mr. William Brougham, whilst rabbit shouting in the vicinity of the Hall, is convalescent. AMERICAN OYSTERS.—An importation has recently taken place for the first time, of several packages of oysters, by a vessel from New York. These American oysters were found on examination to be contained in jars, shelled and preserved with vinegar and pepper. As some doubt existed with reference to the rate of duty to which oysters brought from America, and pickled or preserved in this state, should be considered liable, the mater was referred to the authori ties for their decision, whether they should be admitted as cured fish, at Is. per cwt., or charged with the ad valorem duty, as goods manufactured, of 10 per cent., in this and future importations of the article from America; and it has been decided that the rate of duty as cured fish does not apply to pickled oysters, which being dressed and actually fit for use, become chargeable with the ad valorem duty as a manufactured article. VALUE OF A NEWSPAPER.--The reading of a good and well-conducted newapaper in a family, even for the short space of one quarter of a year, brings more sound in struction, and leaves a deeper impression, than would be acquired, probably, at the best school in twelve months. This is easily proved. Talk to the members of a family who read the papers, and compare their information and in teliigence with those who do not. The difference is beyond comparison. EXTENSIVE CONFLAGRATION IN DRUNT-LANE.— Last night (Friday), at a few minutes past 10 o'clock, a fire of a very alarming character, and which unfortunately was attended with considerable destruction of property, broke out in a lofty range of premises in the tenure of Mr. Wolter, a cork-manufacturer and bookbinder, and it was past 12 o'clock before the conflagration was subdued, and not before the premises in which it commenced were nearly consumed, the contents destroyed, and serious damage none to the houses adjoining. ATTEMPT TO MURDER.—Last night between six and seven o'clock, a considerable excitement prevailed in th e neighbourhood of Devonshire-street, St. George's-in-the- East, in consequence of a report that a man of the name of Healey, a waterman, had inflicted such serious injuries on the person of a female, by stabbing her with a knife, that her life was in danger. About the time in question loud shrieks were heard proceeding from the house in which they both were, and upon some persons going into the room, they found the woman in a bed, and blood was streaming from a wound in her face. The police were called in, who proceeded to take the accused into custody, but he made a desperate re sistance. He was, however, eventually secured, and con veyed to the station-house of the K division, Arbor -square. The unfortunate female was taken to the London Hospital, where she was found to have received an incised wound in the cheek, with serious injuries in other parts of her body; and she was declared to be in a sate of considerable danger. The cause of the savage attack was not ascertained, as the female was not able, in consequence of her depression, to give any account of the occurrence. BARNET GREAT CATTLE FAIR.--SECOND This fair, which stands unrivalled for the sale of store beasts, continued the whole of yesterday, without intermission, one scene of activity, and the well-bred Devon, Hereford, and Scotch beasts, ruled predominant, both as regards prices and demand, throughout. The great speculators have also in vested heavily in Welsh and Irish beasts, if not at high, nevertheless at fair remunerating prices, and the breeders and de Jers generally, in speaking of this fair describe it as one of the best that has occurred for the last five or six years, although higher figures might have been obtained at former fairs. Yorkshire cows in full milk, suitable for the London cowkeepers, fully maintained the first day's prices, the best making 181. each ;:smaller kinds of the Suffolk, Ayrshire, &c., breed for dairy purposes made from lot. to 141. each. As near as can be ascertained it is computsd that 40,000 head of cattle had changed hands at this fair. Few persons, except those interested, have any conception of the immense number of Welsh horses and ponies sent to this fair, and the great amount of money laid out upon them. Young cart horses and colts made high prices. Several lots of cattle remained unsold for this clay (Saturday), and the ground will be cleared about midday for the races. AQUATIC SPORTS AT RICHMOND.—On the occa sion of the regattas which took place last week at Richmond the day's sports were concluded with some singular games on the water, called a Pig Hunt and a Duck Hunt. For the first of these sports a young porker was placed in a basket, which was tied to the end of a greasy pole standing out from a large sail-barge in the centre of the river, and the candidates for victory had to run baref,ot along the pole to cut the string and let the pig fall through into the water ihe first portion of the fun consisted in the difficulty of reaching the basket, and the falls of the men into the water, who had to swim back to the vessel for another trial. At last one of them suc •eeded in releasing th e pi g , w h o swam away to an adjacent island, followed by the whole of the men. The pig swam at a surprisingly fast rate, and would have outstripped his pursuers if the high weeds on the bank of the island had not prevented his escape. He was then captured by the foremost of the swimmers, and was brought to the starting-place in triumph, amid the loudly-expressed satisfaction of the spectators, who were very numerous on the occasion. The duck hunt followed, and concluded the sports of the day. The interesting ceremony of christening the infant son of the Lord Bishop of Down and Mrs. Knox took place on Sunday last, at Holywood church, in the presence of a very crowded congregation. Baptism was performed by the Rev. Mr. Flood, incumbent of the parish, the sponsors being the Viscount Masserene, T Greg, lisq , and Miss Fitzgib bon. A large circle of visitors, invited on the occasion, have beets partaking of the accustomed hospitalities of the Palace. SIRITISH RAILWAYS. Railways, Paid.
