Deighton and LaughtOn THE volume before us, which is No. 5-of the published proceedings of this important society, is very highly cre ditable to the intelligence and learning brought to bear by its members upon questions of science and taste. Many of the papers which it contains, and one of whit's is delivered at every monthly meeting, are very clever ; and throughout we find nothing of a mediocre character. Amongst the most interesting is " A Sketch of that Branch of Literature called Books of Emblems, as it flourished during the 16th and 17th centuries, by Joseph. B. Yates, Esq.," in which the author has displayed very great research and classical taste. Another is a paper, "Sir Hugh of Lincoln," contributed by Dr. Hume, which we have already spoken of with high favour as pub lished a few months ago in a separate form. Mr. C. Barber has also a very interesting paper on the character-_ istics of the English schools of painting, a perusal of which would benefit many of those who visit our own exhibition. We have given an extract or two from it amongst our selections. Mr. J. P. G. Smith has a valuable paper on "The Reefs of Pernambuco," of which he gives a description, illustrated`by plates ; Mr.Huggins's on street architecture, is full of fine appreciation of the beautiful, and contains some excellent hints for our local builders. The naturalist will peruse with interest, Mr. Byerley's curious description of the Trachinus Draco, or sting fish. We should much like to see this society ex tend its operations, or rather the number of its sub scribers. To the studious youth of our town, its meetings and the able papers read at them, would be useful in giving direction to their scientific or literary pursuits ; me time, they would be found to be as are useful boil in their and it the generally interest _ matter and tendency. The terms of subscription, we observe, are within the reach of most of our middle classes.

It was known that the rebel army was dis- embark and-six persed ; its Chiefs were scattered ; and that the unfortu nate Stuart was wandering through the country, with life and liberty alike endangered. It excited, therefore. no surrounded, tation the villag and the apparent prize conN towards London. Letter d with great oste platforms, which were considered unsafe ; but could only succeed where they extended over the carriage way. In the early part of the morning a portion of the crowd, principally consisting of juveniles of both sexes, amused themselves with bandying rough jokes, jostling, and other similar pastimes of a London mob ; but as the hour drew near for the fatal scene, a perceptible feeling of intense excitement stole over the mass, interrupted only by occasional ebullitions of bQdily buffering, as some un fortunate being became oppressed beyond endurance by the prolonged crushing of the densely packed assemblage. And when at length the preparations commenced for the work of death, the picture presented by the upturned faces of the spectators, bloodless and pallid with awe, as seen in the dull morning light, and many begrimed with perspiration from their long hours' struggle to maintain their places, was a truly awful one. The symptoms of penitence which Mrs. Manning evinced during the preaching of the condemned sermon on Sunday proved only transient, and yesterday she re turned to that state of obduracy which has marked her conduct since her first arrest. Up to a late hour last night she still persisted in refusing to hold any interview with Manning. and declared that the mob should not be gratified by seeing her face when brought upon the drop, as she would cover it with her handkerchief. The account given in our second edition of her attempt at self-destruc ion on Sunday morning, is fully confirmed. There was no change yesterday in the conduct of the male prisoner, who continued resigned to his fate. It is said that his written confession, the substance of which we gave in our first edition, occupies twenty-five pages of foolscap paper, but was not to be published until after his death. Shortly after nine o'clock, Manning and his wife ap peared on the scaffold, attended by the sheriff, the chap ain, and the officers of the gaol. At this ofomeat the ex citement amongst the crowd was tremendous, and some confusion occurred from the eagerness of the parties stretching forward in the endeavour to catch a glimpse of the unhappy criminals. There was an immense assemblage congregated in front and around the gaol, to x,itness the closing scenes of the unhappy career of these great criminals. There were no accidents of magditude, but many persons, chiefly women and children, were trodden under foot and otherwise bruised. It was calculated that there could not have been fewer than 150,000 people present. It is true that so great a concourse could not get to witness the deplorable spectacle ; but every street, lane, and avenue, leading to the place of execution, was densely crowded; and every window and housetop in the vicinity of Horsemonger-lane was filled and crowded with well dressed people, male and female, as was also every avail able spot upon which a platform could be erected. Upan the appearance of the criminals at the front of the scaffold, the crowd gave vent to their feelings by yells and hooting, long, loud, and deep. These manifestations of disgust on the part of the populace lasted for several minutes, and seemed much to grieve Manning, whilst his unhappy partier seemed to care but little for what might be thought of her in the world she was then about to leave. The mournful procession having reached the drop, the few moments that were occupied in preparing for the final scene having elapsed, the bolt was withdrawn and both the unhappy beings were launched into eternity at the same moment. The struggles of the male prisoner were very violent, and his contortions produced a most painful feeling amongst the spectators. Those of Mrs. Manning were of very short duration, as she appeared to cease to exist on the drop falling. Rnth of tho unfortunate beirursannonroa • •••-• - dressing the immense assemblage o f` their fellow creatures below them, and they made a few obse rva ti ons , w hi c h were nor audible beyond a few yards from the gallows, their words being lost amidst the yells of the crowd and the confusion inseparable from such a vast congregation of human beings. Both were, however, understood to ad here to their often-expressed and vehement protestations of innocence. —.....—..—. After having hung the usual time—one hour—the exe cutioner (the well-known Calcraft) again presented him self at the platform to cut down the bodies. On his ap pearance). a slight manifestation of applause ran through the immense multitude assembled. The bodies were then cut down, and deposited within the precincts of the gaol. Thus closed a scene upon which none can have gazed without being appalled ; and thus were ushered into eter nity two wretched beings whose deed will be recorded in the annals of crime'as the most striking approach to that which our great dramatist has immortalized in his tragedy of Macbeth. For, mark how singular is the similarity between the circumstances of the two. The man O'Con nor, like the king Duncan, was murdered beneath the roof which he had entered as a guest. In both cases the victim had conferred obligations upon his murderers. In Shakespeare's drama, the Thane of Cawdor was unequal to the deed, until impelled to it by the contemptuous goadings of his more determined wife. We can imagine Maria Manning, as well as Lady Macbeth, exclaiming to her lord— _ _ " Infirm of purpose t Give me the dagger." Here, however, the similitude ends. The strong mind of Shakspeare's heroine broke down beneath the weight of guilty consciousness ; whilst that of the wretched woman, who has just expiated her crime on earth, was, it is too much to be feared, deadened to the last by all feeling save bitter disappointment at the failure of her schemes, and the uselessness of her deed of blood.

HISTORICAL COINCIDENCES. — The Observateur Belge shows that since the year 1789 all the revolutions in France have been effected under Popes bearing the name of Pius. Louis XVI. was dethroned and decapitated under Pius VI., the Directory was overthrown under Pius VI. ; Na poleon fell under Pius VII. ; Charles X. was dethroned and driven into hopeless exile under Pius VIII. ; and, finally, Louis Philippe I. was deposed and banished under Pius IX. Some may suppose that the world will come to an end under Pius X. A. PORTRAIT OF THE WHIGS.—Mr. Baillie Cochrane, M.P., in his recently published novel of "Ernest Vane," thus sketches the political lineaments of Whiggery : " The old Whig is never tired of talking about the people, and imagining himself liberal. He had long been a mem ber of that party who, possessing the strongest aristocratic tendencies, march in cloth of gold, with ' The people' in scribed on their banners. The thorough aristocratic Whig; the party of hereditary principles of freedom, both in trade and institutions ; the class that would do every thing for the people, and nothing by the people—at once haughty and condescending,—universal and exclusive, — who would desire to see every poor man's table well sup plied, but take equal care that he should never trespass . . above the salt; who bow very low, extend forefingers, to the middle-class—shake hands with the people, but always with their gloves on ; who will tell you that the middle class, the bourgeoisie, is essential to the well-being of the country, but draw themselves up very high if the middle class ever assert the smallest position in their presence ; a party composed in general of men of high illustration, and of unblemished race, who view their so:lety with the same reverence as the Jews were wont to regard the inner circle of the Temple ; who have an undeviating attachment to the tales of family interests and family claims, and the traditions of their history, as written by their own party, with whom it is a faith to worship the memory of the traitors William Lord Russell, and Algernon Sydney, and to repudiate Dalrymple's Memoirs; who practise in reli gion a universal toleration ; who, in rare instances, are willing to admit a select few of the middle-class into their society, but would at the same time keep back the crowd which is treading on their heels, who speak of commerce and manufactures with all reverence, and honour those who have attained pre-eminence in it through their own industry, but who would be greatly astonished if any one of those persons approached them with familiarity, and did not apply to their manners such terms as' condescend ing ' and affable.'" THE DAILY LIFE OF HowAßD.—Howard ate no flesh —drank not wine or spirits—bathed in cold water daily— ate little, and that at fixed intervals—retired to bed early —rose early. Such was the programme of his personal course. This regimen enabled him to penetrate, fearlessly, dungeons into which gaolers, and physicians even, dared not follow him. From his youth upward, the lesson of abstinence had no doubt been learnt in his father's puri tanical household ; his diet had always been of the simplest kind ; and, as he advanced in years, the habit of temperance grew stronger and stronger. Some details of his way of living while at Warrington have been preserved, which, as they were of a kind with his usual habits, are not unworthy of record in this history. Every morning, though it was then in the depth of a severe winter, be rose at two o'clock precisely, washed, performed his orisons, and then worked at his papers until seven, when he breakfasted and dressed for the day. Punctually at eight he repaired to the printing office to inspect the pro gress of his sheets through the press. There he remained until one, when the compositors went to dinner. While they were absent, he would walk to his lodgings, and put ting some bread and dried fruit into his pocket, sally out for his customary exercise, generally a stroll into the town, eating as he trudged along his hermit fare, and drinking l therewith a glass of cold water, begged at some cottager 's door. This was his only dinner. By the time that the printers returned to the office, he had usually, but not always, wandered back. Sometimes he would call upon a friend on his way, and spend an hour or two in pleasant chat—a recreation he rather liked ; for though anything but a gossip, he had all the social instincts largely deve loped in his nature. At the press he remained until the men left off their day's toil, and then either retired to his modest lodgings, took a simple dish of tea or coffee, per formed his household religious services—a sacred duty, which he never under any circumstances, whether at home or abroad, suffered himself to omit, and retires to rest at an early hour ; or repaired to the residence of the Aikins, to consult with the future doctor upon any cor rections or alterations which migat have occurred to him during the day ; in which case also he retired at his regu lar hour.—Howard and the PriBon World of Europe. ~~~~~ _ RAVAGES OF THE CHOLERA. (From the Times.) We gather the klowing melancholy details from the Registrar-General's quarterly report of mortality : In the quarter ending September 30 the deaths in Eng land and Wales exceeded the births by 164, and taking ihto account the known drain by emigration, this part of the United Kingdom must now contain fewer souls by several thousands than it did on the 30th of last June. There have been 60,000 more deaths than in the corre sponding quarter of 1845 ; and 53 per cent. more than the average. In the metropolitan districts there have been ten thousand more deaths than births, the disparity being usually the other way. In the first week of Sep tember the mortality was three times the average; and for the whole thirteen weeks included• in the quarter, it was twice the average. Such are the figures and propor tions of a devastation unparalleled in this country for nearly two centuries. We see with how much reason we may now offer mutual congratulations and solemn thanks givings. The total mortality of London for last week was only 837, which is 325 less than the average, and only about a quarter of the mortality in the first week of Sep tember. Only 11 deaths from cholera were registered during the week. So low a rate of mortality is unexam pled in the metropolis. The Thames, the Mersey, the Humber, the Trent, the Severn, the Tyne, the Tamar, the Irwell—indeed, we might go through the whole list of rivers—have been the channels of invasion. Every town, and almost every vil lage, on the line of the Thames, or even near its waters, from the North Foreland to Oxford, has had its propor tion of victims. At Gravesend and in the metropolis the mortality has been more than doubled • at Brentford it has been tripled ; and doubled even in the rural vicinity of Great Marlow. At Liverpool and the adjacent popu. lous districts the mortality has been more severe than in the metropolis ; so also at Hull and at Gainsborough. At these two last places it was for the three months at the annual rate of 12 per cent. on the whole population. In Portsea island, including Portsmouth, and at South amaton, the mortality was tripled; so also at Plymouth and the adjoining districts. Bristol, Newcastle, North Shields, Sunderland, Yarmouth, Ipswich, exhibit rather less serious results. In Cornwall, at St. Germain on the Tamar, and some other ports, the mortality was five times the average ; twice the average at Liskeard ; whilst at one village 93 perished out of 789. Thus did the pestilence fringe all our shores with death, and enter with every tide into the heart of this isle. The cholera seems to have ascended the upward surface of the country everywhere with a diminished force. The mortality of Manchester was only half that of Liverpool ; and in the high ground beyond the valley of the Ribble, including Skipton, Settle, Ripon, Knaresborough, Keighley, Todmorden, Halifax, and even Huddersfield, where there were some deaths from cholera, the mortality was less than the average. Of the eleven divisions into which England is divided, two—the North Midland and the South Midland—exhibit a less than average mortality for the quarter. Birmingham, again, has not only been free from the cholera, but has been more than usually healthy. Derby and Nottingham have escaped. That the heaths and moors of the North Riding and of Cum berland, as well as the South Downs and Salisbury Plain, should almost entirely escape is intelligible enough. So also is the fact that Farnham was unusually healthy, and at Leatherhead, with a population of 2,000, there were positively no deaths in the quarter, except those of two seven-months children. But the area and list of fortu nate exemptions are very soon exhausted. Unfavourable localities, and still more unfavourable social conditions, have harboured the cholera everywhere in the island. Salisbury, which receives in its gardens and streets all the waters of Wiltshire, dammed up almost to a level with the threshbolds of its houses, as well as Wilton and Alder bury, in the same valley, have suffered five times their usual mortality. Elsewhere the miserable condition of the people, the presence of unmitigated nuisances, the injurious influences of the employment, or other remov able causes, have done all the mischief, and will bear wit ness against our prayers and oblations if we suffer them to remain. While Sheffield, owing to strenuous sanitary measures, has escaped a second visit of the cholera, Bradford, Hunslet, Dewsbury, Wakefield, Pontefract, and Leeds, under much the same physical circumstances, have suffered considerably. At Wolverhampton the mortality has been tripled; and at Bilston, which was devastated in 1832, the deaths have been 700 out of 20,000. At Newcastle-under-Lyne the town sewer, miscalled a river, being dammed up by a mill, expands into a basin of filth in the hollow of the town, the mortality of which has been consequently doubled. Merthyr Tydfil, on a dry soil, and in a lofty and open situation, is a mere collec lection of filthy hovels, without drains, without domestic conveniences, with scarcely a pretence of paving or gut ters, without water, and with hardly ona social institution except its accumulations of dirt. It has been swept by the cholera. The like relation of cause and effect prevails everywhere else. Even under the healthiest natural con dition, where the people live in cellars, where one room is used for all the purposes of life, or where half a dozen or more sleep in one close chamber, there the cholera riots uncontrolled, and levies its lawful forfeit from the negli gence of man. Unless we steadily set to work to mend this state of things, then—the truth must be spoken—our prayers will only be vain repetitions, and we shall offer what is "an abomination to the Lord," viz., " the sacri fice of fools." General 111i5trilanv. Charlotte Harris, under sentence of death for poison ing-her husband, has been reprieved, There is at present to be seen in the village of Coniston the rare sight of a woman nursing her great-great-grand child. More than 700 fires which have consumed property estimated to be worth about £150,000, have happened in London since the beginning of this year. A respite during her Majesty's pleasure has been re ceived for the convict Alfred Stephen Jordan, alias Davv- land, capitally convicted of attempting to murder a woman with whom he had cohabited, in Dulwich Wood. The cholera has broken out in Taunton ; on Saturday, eighteen inmates of the Union-house died, and twenty four were ill of it. A fresh outbreak of the disease also in Gloucester bas excited much alarm. Sir Thomas Freemantle, Bart., President of the General Board of Custom 9, is at present in Hull, making certain inquiries into the nature and extent of the trade of the port, and the relative duties of the staff of officers. STRIKE OF AGRICULTURAL LABOURERS IN WILT. SHIRE.—On Monday morning last the peaceful villages of South Newton, Stoford, and Wisford, presented an un usual feature, owing to the farmers having reduced the wages of the agricultural labourers, upon the ground of the low prices of produce. The labourers suspended work in consequence, and went in procession to the house of one of the chief proprietors, to petition against the reduc tion, which makes their wages now only 6s. or 7s. a week. They received a promise of consideration, and quietly re turned home. On Tuesday week, an apprentice with Mr. Davison, gunmaker, Newcastle, was " striking a light" with a gun and gunpowder and a piece of tow with one hand, holding in the other a powder canister. The whole of the powder exploded, scorching the youth and a young woman, and shattering the shop. While a man was passing through a dark close in Glasgow, on Monday evening, he was suddenly seized by three ruffians, who were proceeding to strip him of his boots and clothes, when they were interrupted by two constables, who alarmed by the victim's half-stifled cries, succeeded in apprehending one of the thieves. PROPERTY IN SERMONS.—It has been decided by the Sheriff Substitute of Paisley, in Scotland, that sermons delivered in public are public property, and consequently that Mr. Wilson, editor of the Renfrewshire Advertiser, who had taken down a discourse by the Rev. Mr. Mac- Naughten, with a view to publication, was justified in so CLERICAL GRATITUDE.—It iS said that a Free Church congregation of a neighbouring parish were so highly de lighted with the excellent qualities of their pastor that they not only subscribed a sum of money to purchase a gig, but afterwards presented him with 20 guineas to take a summer's jaunt for the recruiting of his health. The use he made of gig and money was to drive to a distance and preach as candidate for another charge. The trial sermon procured a call for him. Of course his present congregation is not at all annoyed. Is there any possi bility of this case giving rise to another clamour of " Send back the money."—Aberdeen Herald. ANOTHER VICTIM TO THE DELUSION OF THE MOR MONITES.—On Saturday night, a person of the name of Ann Griffiths, of Castle Foregate, was about to be initiated into the society of this deluded sect; for which purpose she was taken down to the river to be baptised. One of the " elders," named Thomas Lloyd, took the female into the river to immerse her, and after he had completed the ceremony, and was about returning with her to the shore, his foot slipped, and they were both plunged into about six feet of water. One of the per sons on the bank, named James Bishop, succeeded in rescuing the female, but the man was drowned.—Shrews bury Journal. A ROOKERY IN THE CITY OF LONDON.—SOITIe of our readers may probably have noticed the rooks which build in the trees in the south churchyard of St. Dunstan's. The rookery, before the last church was removed, con sisted of upwards of 20 nests ; and they were annually supplied with osier twigs and other materials for building. The colony migrated to the Tower of London, when dis turbed for the pulling down of the church, in 1817, and built in the White Tower, but returned afterwards, as soon as the noise of axes and hammers had ceased. At this day their little building materials are hospitably pro vided for them by Mr. Crutchley, the assistant overseer. —Builder. . MAMMOTH PIIMPKIN.—The extraordinary size to which the pumpkin attains under favourable culture is scarcely credible. A remarkably fine specimen of this vegetable production may now be seen at Mr. Jolly's fruit ware house, in Farringdon-street, London. It measures 60 inches in circumference, and weighs nearly 100 lb. It was grown at a private garden at West Drayton. A QUIXOTIC ACCIDENT.—A curious accident hap pened last week in the neighbourhood of Chichester. In order to avoid a picket, a private of the Coldstream Guards lying in our barracks, took refuge in the Portfield Wind mill, and on leaving by the opposite door he was struck by one of the sweeps and carried a considerable distance into the field. He was conveyed to the infirmary in a state of insensibility.—Brighton Gazelle. The Carmarthen Journal states that on Wednesday the schooner Constance, of Nantes, Barbeau, master, which arrived here last week, with a cargo of wheat and flour, dropped down the river with the intention of proceeding to sea by the next tide. When the vessel got nearly opposite Towy Castle she grounded on a ledge of rock, and all efforts of the crew to get her from this awkward position were unavailing, but she afterwards floated off. INCENDIARISM.—A number of fires are reported in Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire, said to have been wilful. A farm which was partly consumed in March last has been entirely ruined by a second fire; seven valuable horses were burnt to death in a stable. A fire took place on the farm of Mr. Golding, Dalham, Suffolk, last week, when the barns, supposed to be the finest in the four counties, being seventy-four yards long, with four thrash ing floors, several stacks, and other buildings, were destroyed. STRANGE PREMIUMS FOR LADIES.—An eccentric old bachelor, who lately died at Madras, has left a sum of £lOOO, the interest of which is to be divided annually into five portions, to be distributed at the discretion of the minister of St. Cyrus, Kincardineshire. One portion to be given to the tallest woman that has been married in the parish during the year, and one to the shortest. A third portion goes to the eldest woman married during the year, and the fourth to the youngest. Will any lady remain unmarried in St. Cyrus after this ? The stranee old bachelor showed that his intentions were kind, for he directed the fifth sum to be distributed in groceries amongst the poor. THE FIFTH OF NOVEMBER IN EXETER.—From an early hour bells were ringing, flags flying, Guys of all descriptions parading the streets, bonfires blazing in vari ous parts of the town, accompanied by rockets, squibs, &c. The grand attraction, however, was in the yard of the cathedral, where a monster bonfire was lighted, the coals being heaped up as high as the second floor windows of the houses. Around it were numbers of persons in fancy dresses, presenting a sort of masquerade, the characters ever and anon letting off fireworks on a grand scale. Parties were blistered by the sparks, or had their clothes burnt into holes. Enormous Guys were paraded about, preceded by drums, fifes, horns, and other noisy instru ments. In the evening there was a monster procession, with effigies of Guy ; the Scarlet Lady; and—(rnirabile dictu !)—of the murderess, Mrs. Manning ! At eleven o'clock the effigies were consigned to the flames. Hun dreds of pounds were expended in rockets, and the excite ment and enthusiasm were intense. Mr:Baptist Noel has proceeded to Rome with the view of operating with greater effect for the release of Dr. Achilli. We also learn that Mr. Noel is by no means secure in his new position in Doughty-street Chapel. This, we believe, is the property of Mr. Henry and Lady Harriet Drummond ; and it is understood that upon the demise of Mr. Evans, the use of the chapel will not be continued to Mr. Noel. Something far more allied in appearance and in essence to Popery is likely, we should think, to secure-a holding there. CONGREGATION OF BIRDS.—On the 20th ult., between 2,000 and 3,000 swallows and martins assembled near the Plymouth station of the South Devon Railway, and pitched on the upper wire of the electric telegraph. It being necessary to send a message up the, the station clerk touched the electric wire, and suddenly dissolved the meeting. The birds jostled and tumbled against each other, and fluttered off their mysterious resting-place, shortly resumed something like order, and quickly flew out of sight. ANOTHER, GUN ACCIDENT.—On Sunday week, Mr. Harris, of St. John's Green, Writtle, left home, leaving their younger son and another lad, 18 years of age, to take care of the house. Soon after they bad left, Sach, and two other youths called on young Harris, and seeing a patent walking-stick gun hung up about six feet from the floor, took it down from the ceiling to examine it. Whilst so doing, the contents exploded, and the charge was lodged in the right side of Sach. A surgeon promptly attended, but life was found to be extinct. _ _ _ _ . SCENE IN CHELTENHAM PARISH CHURCH.—A corre spondent of the Cheltenham Examiner writes :—" I was present at the parish church on Sunday evening, and witnessed the following scene, which took place during the performance of divine worship :—The Churchwarden (walking up to a large pew which was only half filled, and the door of which was firmly held by a gentleman inside) —Mr. —, you have no right to keep that pew while there are parishioners who cannot obtain seats. Mr. —: It is my pew, and I shall admit whom I please. Church warden : You have no right to admit strangers while there are parishioners who cannot get seats. Mr. —: This pew is my property. Churchwarden : If you do not open the door, sir, I shall order the beadle to force it open. Mr. —: You have no right to do so; you may as well order a man to break open my house. Churchwarden : It is not your pew, and I shall insist upon its being opened. Mr. : This is not the place to settle that question. Churchwarden : I will have it settled here; Russell, I order you to break open the door. Pew opener : Very well, sir ; Mr. —, I insist upon the door being opened. The door was burst open, and the pew immediately filled by the parties standing outside." THE NATIONAL SOCIETY.—On Thursday a private meeting of the Committee of the National Society was held at the Central School-rooms, Broad Sanctuary, for the purpose of taking into consideration a communication received by the Committee of Council on Education. The meeting was numerously attended by bishops, noble men, and membersof parliament interested in the question. The Earl of Harrowby filled the chair in the absence of the two Archbishops, and the Rev. J. G. Lonsdale, Sec retary to the Society, read the communication from the Committee of Council on account of which the meeting had been convened. It explained at some length the operation of the law and the views of their lordships on the terms of trust deeds in certain proposed cases, as where the managers of schools are required to be commu nicants of the Church of England, where a bish )13 or arbi trators are empowered to declare a teacher unfit for his office, or where a committee of management, in violation of the terms of the trust deed, neglect or refuse to dismiss a teacher in pursuance of the decision of the bishop op the award of the arbitrators. The document further conveyed the expression of their lordship's disinclination to admit of any further modifications than those already conceded on the subject of an appeal on questions not relating to religious instructions. A lengthened discussion took place with reference to this communication, in which the Bishops of Oxford, Salisbury, and Bangor, the Earl of Harrowby, Archdeacon Sinclair, Mr. G. C. Talbot, M.P., Mr. Colquhoun, and others, joined. At the close of the proceedings, which lasted nearly four hours, a Committee was appointed to draw up a letter to the Committee of Council on the subject which had been under considera tion. INSTINCT OF A CARRIER PIGEON.-Mr. Vizard, butler to the Right Hon. and Rev. Lord Say and Sele. has now in his possession an Antwerp carrier pigeon, which was hatched in London, in February, 1847. In the early part of the year 1847, the pigeon, with its mate and others, was sent to Addlestrop, near Moreton-in-the-Marsh, which is about 100 miles distance from London. In January, 1849, the bird of which we are more particularly writing was taken to Broughton Castle, in Oxfordshire. One day in the past month, Mr. Vizard wrote to a friend at the castle, from London, telling him to liberate the pigeon at a cer tain hour. Mr. Vizard's friend wrote to tell him the time at which he released the pigeon, and in three-quarters of an hour after the time stated, the bird arrived at its old quarters, at his lordship's residence in London, alter an absence of two years !—Gloucaster journal. A MELANCHOLY LOVE AFFAIR.—An inquest was held on Tuesday last, before Mr. Russell, coroner for the northern division of Northumberland, at Earsdon, in the parish of Bothal, on view of the body of Eleanor Aynsley, a fine girl about twenty-three years of age, whose parents are honest industrious people. The deceased had been in the service of Mrs. Hume, of Mitlington Broom, for four years and a half, and was a faithful and diligent servant. Mrs. Hume had been from home on Sunday, and on her return in the evening observed the deceased to be much depressed in spirits. On the following morning the de ceased was called at four o'clock, having to be engaged in washing ; half an hour afterwards she left the house, and, not returning, her mistress became alarmed, and immedi ately sent servants in search of her. Her body was found about 8 o'clock the same morning, in Earsdon Burn, lying in about two feet depth of water, and on being taken out, in the presence of her mother, she was found to be quite dead. Her bonnet was lying on the bank of the stream, inside of which was found a letter, addressed to her parents, of which the following is a copy :—" Dear father and mother, I bid farewell to you all, for my heart is broken, and I must die, and William Atkinson is the case (cause) of it; but, give my kind love to him, and I hope he will sometimes think of me, and I hope God will forgive me for all my wicked sins.—Ellen Aynsley." • It appeared in evidence, that a young man, named William Atkinson, belonging to the village of Earsdon, had been for some time previously paying his addresses to her, but recently had attended several rural merry makings in the neighbourhood, and rumour said, that in her absence he had, on those occasions, paid particular attentions to another young girl. Reports of this bad reached her ears, and had so excited her jealousy, as to cause the un fortunate girl to take away her own existence. Verdict— " Temporary Mental Derangement." THE THANKSGIVING DAY.—We are gratified by ob serving that a Royal Proclamation has been issued-, appointing Thursday next, the 15th inst., to be " reve rently and devoutly observed as a day of Thanksgiving to Almighty God for his late mercies, in having abated the grievous disease with which many places in this Kingdom have been visited." This concession to the religious feel ing of the country is creditable to the government, who could scarcely give a stronger proof of their sense of the error they committed in August last, or the damage which their religious character sustained by their weak and un worthy remissness on that occasion. We have copied elsewhere a great portion of an article from the Times, chiefly because it affords a condensed review of the pro gress of the disease with which we have been recently visited. One great object of the article is, to put away the very thought of a Divine visitation ; to treat the cho lera as produced by rivers and bad drainage ; and to educe from the whole, as the one practical lesson, " improve your sewerage." If this view be a just one, then the government did quite right in ordering no fast day ; but the same government must be playing the hypocrite now. The writer tells us of " the social and natural circum stances which have directed and aggravated its operation." He assures us, that nothing is more open and intelligible than the paths it has trod, and the seasons of its compara tive ravages." And, after oddly particularising a variety of cases which set all general rules at defiance, he con cludes that " the like relation of cause and effect prevail everywhere." In other words, that the disease acts by known rules, and is amenable to known remedies—than which there cannot be a greater fiction. All the re corded facts disprove such a theory. It is quite impos sible to reconcile the mortality of the different places and districts with any one rational hypothesis. The Times spends a column in showing that low and watered places suffer, and higher lands escape. But what are we to say to the fearful mortality which visited Salisbury, compared with the comparative freedom of Oxford and Cambridge, both lying in the midst of streams ? By what law of mortality came Southampton to suffer so fearfully ? Hull and Yarmouth are alike in most points—why was Hull " swept by the pestilence," while Yarmouth almost entirely escaped ? Who ever dreamt that New Bridge street, Salisbury-square, and the parish of St. Bride, London, were unwholesome or wretched neighbour hoods ? By what theory can the fact be accounted for, that Saffron-hill, Field-lane, and St. Giles's suffered far less severely—in fact, scarcely suffered at all, compared with Ludgate-hill and the district adjoining the Times printing-office ? hen the carr soon reached the city that the fugitive Stuart was taken ; and the letters were confirmed by the story related, which quickly reached London. The funds of course rose, and the inventors of the trick laughed, in their sleeve as they divided the profit. By this time the jobbers must have reached a somewhat high position, as the same year, one Quare, a Quaker, and celebrated watchmaker in Thange-alley, having succes sively speculated in the shares and funds with which it abou - nC d, was of sufficient importance to invite to the marriage feast of his daughter, Sarah Jennings, Duchess of Marlborough, and the Prince of Wales, who, with three hundred guests of distinction, graced the wedding entertaintment.—Chronicles of the Stock Exchange. A. NEW VEGET i men of the dories afloat regarding the peregrinations of the Royal party in the vicinity of their Highland residence, we g►ve the fol lowing from a vernacular correspondent of the Montrose Standerd. We copy it word for word :—" Her Majestie sometimes gangs into ither folk's houses. Wheel, her an' the Prince gaed into an auld 'omen's hause last week wha bides about a mile frae the Castle. The wife kent them brawly, an' bade them sit down. They accepted the invatashon, an' kindly speired for her welfare. After lookin' roun' the house, an' particularly on the fireplace on the floor, (nae grate, ye ken, but just a wee bit belie. an' a sod or twa round the bodom o' a little kail pottie,) the Prince said, Gif if it be nae ill manners to speir, fat are ye to dine upon the day ? Fat are ye boilin' in yer pot ?' The auld wifie said, 'ln me pat ?

Intil't ? intil't ?' replied the woman, holding up her hands in sur prise, and beginning to lecture in her loof with her finger ; intil't, intil't, Lord keep your Majestie, just intil't ; there's carrots intil't, an' neeps intil't, an' leeks intil't, an' a gie turn barley intil't ; a' thee things are intil't, an' ye see brawlie that the pattie's on the fire, hinging on the crook.'

Bless your heart !' replied the wife, intil't 's nae i' the pat ; but .there's neeps it - An, an' carrots intil't, an' leeks, an' —.' Here the woman was interrupted by Her Maijestie, who could contain herself no longer, but rose to her feet, and 'ron out to the door, being ready to burst with laughter, and she was followed by the Prince, who left the woman ,ataediest QTI the floor with her finger in her loof, and the is intit'ea sticking between her teeth." 1111 LIVERPOOL STANDARD.
