He thus lived for a series of years, and, whenever it became necessary to shift his place of residence, the box containing the precious relics was ever his first care, and for which he craved a shelter under the title of important papzrs. His last residence was the house of a widow who had known him in better times. Here he lived until sickness overtook him, when the scanty means of his hospitable landlady not allowing her to minister to his wants, he was removed to the pub- lic hospital, where be died about a year and a half since. This lady, who appears in some measure to have imbibed his prejudices, out of respect to his memory, would not for a long time allow the relics he so highly prized to be removed ; but the earnest solicitations of her acquaint ances, who were already as well as herself apprised of the contents of the box, induced her at last to consent. Pro per steps having consequently been taken to ensure their admission to the public cemetery, an old man was em ployed for the purpose of conveying them to the hearse depot, who, as we have seen, sunk under his burden to rise no more. According to the report of the medical gentleman who was called in to examine the body, death was occasioned by a fit of apoplexy, induced by over exertion and the effects of intemperance on a day of unu sual heat. —Buenas Ayrean Packet of the 10th February_ rr!ed from tt to pro THE B I the at been en THE IiII'ERPOOL Sty NIVI it D.

From central Argyle, Perth, and frpm some of the islands. come the carefully-bred West Highlanders ; these are the flower of the show, engage every one's talk, and attract every one's attention; every individual of them is a delight to the eye of a connoiseur. Aberdeen and Forfar send in droves of large and bony, but useful bullocks. A few Ayrshire cows and heifers for the dairy. some miscellaneous lots, and a few Irish, make up the account. We do not know the numbers ; we have heard of 30,000, and again of 60,000. The October show is the most imposing. The almost universal colour is black ; the moor is in appearance one black mass. You may be accommodated with every size, from that of a Newfound land dog to a bullock of 100 stones. The cattle are mostly in the hands of dealers, having been bought up at the northern and western markets; many, however, of the best West Highlanders are brought to the tryst by their breeders, and you may see a kilted laird from the Hebrides standing, like Rob Roy, at the tails of his own bonny shots and queys. * * * The proceedings are as orderly, and the dealings on as large a scale as those of the preced ing day. A few small lots of a score each may be found, but they generally run from 50 to 300 and upwards. A purchaser of less than the whole of one of these large lots gets his number, not by a selection, but buy a cut : a drover passes through the black mass, and cuts off by estimation the number; they are then counted and made up to the required figure by alternate selections on the part of the buyer and seller. A third day inllows, but it is not of much account. The cattle are for the most part miscellaneous lots, and what a Seotchman calls his shots, and an Englishman his culls. We have been somewhat minute in describing these proceedings, because they are on a scale of magnitude quite unknown to southern agri culturists. We can assure our readers that the men who carry them on are quite equal to the occasion.

WILFUL MARTYRDOP6t.—Mr. Shore's committee have advertised the receipt of about £2OO for the payment of the costs for which he is imprisoned; and a second list of subscriptions, for his family, of about £lOO.

Dickens's Neu (From the Quarterly Review.) Having carried our readers to the Highlands , we must at the risk of being somewhat episodicil, request that on their return south , they will accompany us to Falkirk Moor on the .second Monday or Tnesdliy in either Sep tember or October. They will there witness a scene to which certainly Great Britain, perhaps even the whole world, does not afford a parallel. _On the Monday morn- ing they will see the arrival on this flat and open moor of flock after flock, to perhaps the average number of 1000 in each, of sheep—some black-faced with horns, some white-faced and polled—the individuals of each flock be ing, however, remarkably uniform in size and character. They will probably observe that the flocks arrive in pairs, the first being a draft of wethers, and the second of ewes from the same farm. bacn noel( wilt ne attended by two or three men, and at least as many dogs. They take up their respective stations on the moor without confusion, and stand in perfect quietude in round little clumps, which are separated from each . other by only a few y ar d s . The dogs are the main guardians, and though they are generally lying down and licking their travel-worn feet, no unruly animal who breaks the ranks escapes their vi gilance, but is instantly recovered. Among the shepherds, friendly recognitions are taking place ; the hand and the mull are freely offered and accented, and the news from Ben Nevis, Dunvegan, Brahan, Jura, John o'Groats, and the Lewis is cowmnnicated in a singularly soft language, strange to southern ears. R e doubt whether we do not much underrate the whole number of sheep thus collected at 100,000. Mr. Paterson, Mr. Sellers, Mr. Kennedy, and Mr. Cameron, of Corachoilie, will each have several thousands on the ground. We have heard that this last patriarch has 50,000 head of cattle and sheep on his seve ral farms. The greater part of the sheep arein the hands of their respective breeders, though no inconsiderable number have been purchased without being seen at the Inverness wool fair, by dealers who are perfectly well ac quainted with the qualities of every largo flock. Soon after the groups have been collected in the manner which we have described, a large number of agricultural-looking gentlemen on horseback and on foot begin to move among them ; these are partly southern dealers, but more gene- rally the large turnip growers from the east coast of Scotland and from the northern and eastern counties of pay ror a vionn by Liarnerms.

A DuaL. — ln the Times of Friday there is a challenge to Lord Brougham, from " Giscomo Manzoni," an Italian gentleman, the minister of finance to the Roman Re public, who states that, as he has been " grossly insulted" by that nobleman and his companions, it is his intention " to have a duel to repair his own and his country's honour." The letter, however, turns out to be a forgery. On Wednesday week, a lighted candle carried by a boy came in contact with the gas evolved from the coals which formed the cargo of a vessel lying at Cardiff, and a violent explosion immediately ensued. Two boys were severely burned, and the mate was blown to a considerable height, whence he fell into the water, receiving such injuries that he was thrown into a state of insensibility. _ _ A remarkable feature has presented itself in the Oat trade, as regards Ireland, the supplies from which country to the English market have entirely ceased ; and instead of an " Export trade" in this article, an " linvort trade" seems likely to be the order of the day, as a cargo of fine oats, intended for mealing, is now being shipped at Lon don for Limerick ! ! CURIOSITY.—On the 14th instant as James Moore, of Armathwaite, was breaking stones he found on splitting a large piece of rock that it contained several pieces of fine gold. These stones were taken from the blue rock, commonly called the " Back Bone of the Earth," near to Armathwaite Bay, and are the property of the Earl of Lon sdale.— Carlisle Patriot. _ _ FREE TRADE AMONG THE UPHOLSTERERS.—A highly respectable cabinet-maker and upholsterer of this county has recently been compelled, from the influx of articles of French manufacture. to reduce the number of his workmen from 50 to 25. Among those discharged are several who, a year or two ago, loudly clamoured for free trade ; and now that they have obtained it, they would as loudly clamour to get rid of it.—Devizes Gazette. A family living in the parish of Kirkmichael, Dumfries shire, were last week seized with violent illness, from having used for cooking rain water, which had been collected in a barrel that had previously contained a poisonous mixture for smearing sheep. Surgical aid was, however, imme diately procured, and the sufferers speedily became con valescent, though at one time the lives of several were u imminent danger. A BILIOUS COMPEAINT WITH INDIGESTION OF THREE YEARS' STANDING CURED BY HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.-Mr. C. Williams, of Dungannon, had been suffering for three years with a severe bilious complaint, aecompanied with bad digestion and a constant expectoration of phlegm ; his afflictions from these disordets were so great,. that for -I, ts together, it was impossible for him to lie on a bed. All the medicines he had taken failed to give him relief, he therefore determined on giving Holloway's Pills-a and , he was soon gratified with the result, for this valuable medicine speedily improved his powers of digestion, re moved the excess of bile, and re-established him in perfect health. While a gentleman was returning home on Horseback from Brecon fair, an attempt was made to stophim by two women, who placed themselves on their hands and knees across the road, while five or six men ranged them selves at the wayside. The rider, who saw that their intention was to rob him, instantly spurred his horse, leaned over the crouching women, and galloped or, leaving the footpads astonished at the failure of their trick. CONSUMPTION OF LEAF GOLD BY BOOKBINDERS, Some idea may be formed of the extent of the London bookbinding trade in the 191 - h century, when we state that the weekly consumption of leaf gold, enriching the exterior of books, amounts to about 3,600,000 square inches ; and that the weight of paper shavings sold an nually by the London binders, cut off the edges of books, amounts to 320 tons. THE ARCTIC EXPEDITION.-An interesting correspon dence is published in the American papers between Lady Franklin and Mr. J. M. Clayton, Secretary of State, respecting the Arctic expedition. The American govern ment promised with alacrity " that every effort will be made to lay the subject before our whalers, and induce our whalers to undertake the work for which the British government have offered so high a reward." A DREADFUL ACCIDENT occurred at the Lantwit Varde Colliery, near Treforest, Haverfordwest, on Satur day week, by which seven lives were lost. It appears that the regular machinery being out of order, the men con trary to the instructions of the engineer, got into the basket for the purposeof being lowered into the pit, and were precipitated to the bottom of the pit, nearly one hundred yards deep. On the instant, died at the Wells Lunatic Asylum, where he had for some time been an inmate, Mr. Joseph Merchant, late of the King's Arms Inn, Shepton Mallet. Nearly three years since he was in the act of skinning a rabbit, when a man who was holding it let it slip, and Ir 3, in endeavouring to. save it from falling, cut the cords of his wrist, which brought on the fatal malady of which he died. He is most deservedly regretted. An attempt is making in Shrewsbury to revive the ancient pageant of the " show" in that town. Among the subscribers are Lords Hill and Berwick, Hon. T. Kenyon, and Sir A. Corbet, Bart. Many gentlemen of the county are anxious to resuscitate an ancient festival, which began before the reign of Henry IV., and is the only holiday in the year which falls to the lot of the industrious artisans of Shrewsbury. On Sunday week, three of the workpeople employed in the Star Mill, near Keswick, emptied a quantity of poison ous dye into a trout stream, known as Powe Beck, and in less than half an hour not a fish was left alive in the stream, for the space of more than a mile. Between 15 and 20 stone weight of the poisoned trout were carried away by the poachers for their own use and for sale ; and many other dead fish were floating on the water. Two men have been taken into custody at Rotherham, fnr selling what purported to he "lin account of the dreadful Assassination of Emily Sandford, by Rush's son James." The paper purported to have hcen copied from a telegraphic dispatch, and stated that young Rush had invited his victim to the new residence of his family, and that her brains had been beaten. out with a poker,-and that she died instantaneously. The whole story was false, and the two " flying stationers" will be punished. SWEEPING MORTALITY.—The obituary of the Banff shire Journal contains the following terrible instance of mortality in a single family :—" Died, at Middlehill, Monquhitter, of malignant scarlet fever, on 20th February, Mary, aged 6 ; on 25th February, Helen, aged 14 ; on 27th February, Isabel, aged 12; on Ist March, James, aged 4 ; on 7th March, Jane, aged 2 ; on 10th March, Ann, aged 10 ; on 29th March, George, aged 8, children of Wm.

The report gave the following returns of the slave population n: various parts of the world :—United States, 3,095,000 ; Brazil, 3,250,000 ; Spanish Colonies, 900,000 ; Dutch Colonies, 85,000 ; South American Republics, 140,000; African settlements, 20,000 ; giving a total of 7,500,000 slaves still existing in various places. Several speakers addressed the meeting, among whom was the Rev. A. Crummell, a coloured cler gyman, from the United States. A CHURCH WILFULLY FIRED.- --On Tuesday morning an attempt was made by some scoundrel to set fire to Buckfastleigh Church, Dover. Happily the fire was dis covered in time to prevent the accomplishment of the dia bolical purpose. By extraordinary exertions the fire Wit* got under just at the time it had communicated with the roof. The vestry is entirely buant down ; the roof of the north aisle is also much injured and burnt, as also the flooring at the altar. The chest in the vestry, containing old records and various documents belonging to the parish, is entirely destroyed. The church is situated on an emi nence, in a sequestered spot, about half a mile from the town, and was newly seated and much improved about three years since, at a cost of about £lOOO. THE STANFIELD-HALL MURDERS.—It must be grati fying to Mr. Baron Rolfe, and the jury empanelled on Rush's trial, to be informed that the only I.nk wanting to complete the chain of evidence against the murderer was found on Saturday morning by the servants of Mr. Rush, jun., at Potash-farm, on turning over a dungheap in an outhouse where the horses take shelter from the weather. It is a bell-mouthed double-barrelled blunder buss, and the ramrod found at Stanfield-hall on the night of the murder of Messrs. Jermy fits it exactly. Mr. Field, a celebrated gunmaker in London, has written to the Times to say that he has seon this blunderbuss, and that he distinctly remembers selling the article, on the 13th July last, to a man exactly answering the description of Rush. This fact supplies the only circumstance want ing to complete the chain of evidence, and watchers o ton Mr. Mackinnon, M.P., at a meeting respecting burials in towns, stated the following fact :—A lady having died, her body was placed in a coffin, upon which was nailed a plate, describing her virtues, age, and station in life. The nails fastening the plate were unfortunately so long that they passed through the wood and lead of the coffin, which caused the effluvia of the body to escape; and the gas Droved of so noxious a nature, that four of the de ceased daughters who inhaled it while pining over the coffin, died within a fortnight afterwards. POPISH TOMBSTONES IN PROTESTANT CHIT RC lIYARDS. —The Tablet makes a great boast of the erection in the Churchyard of itoss, in Herefordshire, of a ton b-stone bearing the following inscription :—" Of your cbai for the soul of Elizabeth, the beloved wife of J. W. r Counsell. She died April 16, 1848, aged 28 years." The inscription appears in the first instance to have been in advertently admitted, and all the efforts of the clergyman to get it altered have, according to the Tablet, proved ineffectual. rity pray EXTRAORDINARY PRODUCTION OF ENVELOPES.—A patented machine has been put in operation at Birming ham for the manufacture of letter-envelopes, the number produced by which in complete form is most astonishing. Supposing it to be turned by manual labour, one man, with the aid of three or four young girls or boys to gather the envelopes, would, it is calculated, by its means, be able to manufacture from 30,000 to 35,000 in an ordinary working day, the paper being cut. beforehand ; while a expert " e average, the cutting, • ••7 •• •a.na vu is La, VIUG stamped upon them at th e point where the seal usually placed. __ THE HULL AND HAMBURG!! TRADE.—We are glad to learn, from a Hull paper, that measures have been adopted to re-open the trade between that port and Hamburgh, even though the blockade should remain in force. Joseph Gee, Esq., and Win. 13. Brownlow, Esq., have signed contracts with the postmaster-general, by which five tine steamers, belonging to Gee and Co., and an equal num ber belonging to Brownlow and Co., are constituted royal mail steamers, and empowered to carry the royal mail bags between the two ports. Another is to be added, and all of them will be enabled to convey goods and passengers. The advantage to Hull will be great, and a steamer will run between the two places every day. The route is also the most dire& for communication with those portions of the continent having the greatest traffic. In one year the Hull and Hamburgh steamers alone conveyed 150,000 letters and 6000 newspapers, giving a revenue of about £5OOO. EXTRAORDINARY RESTITUTION.—The Exeter Gazette quotes the following curious circumstance, from the ar chives of the Exeter cathedral library :—ln arranging the fasciculi of the Exon Domesday in their proper order, Mr. Barnes had the mortification of observing that at page 233 a singleleaf had been abstracted, which he recorded, in 1810. Subsequent to this period, Mr. Trevelyan called to see the Domesday, and upon the book being opened, pro duced from his pocket a leaf, which exactly supplied the previous hiatus in the record. The leaf, it appeared, came into the possession of Mr. Trevelyan by descent from his ancestor, Dean Willoughby, who in the time of Henry VIII. was the Dean of Exeter, and doubtless he it was who abstracted this identical leaf, either from curiosity or a less venial motive. That must, however, be esteemed a most fortunate accident, whereby a leaf lost in the time of the Reformation has thus been restored in our own, having the effect, moreover, of rendering perfect one of the most interesting historical documents in existence. SHOCKING CASE.—On Friday week a young woman, named Elizabeth Bailey, aged 23, and unmarried, of Mansfield, died of a miscarriage, having on the previous day communicated to the surgeon employed. that she had been subjected to certain foul practices. The nature of these was explained by a companion, who said she had known the deceased 13 years. About three weeks ago the deceased asksd her to go with her to a man that " cured" all women in her condition. Witness tried to persuade her not ; but she said that if she would not go with her she would get somebody else to do so. Witness then consented. On Tuesday they went to the house of John Sansome. They knocked at the door, and Sansome came. Deceased described her situation, and said, " You know what I come for." He did not reply, but con ducted them to a bed-room, where he performed an operation upon her. Deceased asked how much it was to be, and he replied " Seven shillings." The money was paid and the two women then went home. The deceased, after suffering great pain, died as stated above. The magistrates have committed Sansome to take his trial for the offence. STRANGE CREDULITY.—A man called Wakem, a far mer of Ca!stock, aeplied to the magistrates, at Tavistock, on Monday under the following circumstances : It appears that his wife is afflicted with fits, and on Thursday evening two tipsy women undertook to perform a perfect cure ; hut to enable them to do so it was necessary to see a cer tain quantity of money. The good easy man immediately complied with their request, and produced two £5 notes and 39 sovereigns, and the whole was carefully wrapped up in a piece of paper and placed on the table. The good man was then desired to get a handkerchief to place th± packet in, and whilst he turned to do th;, managed to substitute a parcel similar in app. the one lie left, and on the handkerchief being the packet was placed in it, and then put in a box, and locked, with th e p os iti ve i n j unct i ons t h at i t was notto be opened until the following Monday. It should be stated that the gipsies said Mrs. Wakem was " - overlooked," and added that they would come again on Monday, when the evil being who was the cause of her suffering would be seen near the fire-place. All this was swallowed by the credulous farmer, and be was anxious for Monday t roducet arrive, but at length he began to have some misgivings about the matter, and on Sunday he opened the box and the packet, and found, instead of his £49 - sterling, just alout 25 half-pence.— Western Luminary. FATAL EFFECTS OF QUACKERY.—T " On SaturcL ,e Leeds Mer cury says, _—ay a report spread through Hud dersfield that a young woman had been poisoned by a quack doctor, which, on inquiry, received full confirma tisn. A young Irishwoman, named Ann Flanigan, who was residing with her brother in a cellar- dwellinz in Man- chester-street, had been troubled a short time with a scrofulous sore on her band, and being anxious to have it removed consulted an itinerant dealer in quack medicines, who recommended her to send t o the as works for a quantity of tar-water. This she did on Thum, week (getting water from which chemists extract ammo nia), and on Friday, about noon, the pretended doctor again appeared, bringing with him a powder, which he mixed with the water, placed the mixture in a bottle, charged half-a-crown for it, and ordered the hand to be poulticed that night and the mixture taken in the morn ing, and the hand, he said, would "ail" nothing in two or three days. His directions were attended to ; and in about seven minutes after the dose had been swallowed the young woman was a corpse. Medical attendance was im mediately procured, but all efforts to restore animation were unavailing. An inquest was held over the body the same evening, which was adjourned to give an opportu nity for a post mortem examination of the body. The quack, on hearing the result of his treatment, left the town without ceremony. SERIOUS AF ay evening A.Y WITH Po A c Ens .—The gamekeeper Matthew Bell, Esq., M.P., of Woolsing near Newcastle, were out on the night of Friday week, when they heard the report of guns in a plantation near the house. They immediately proceeded to the spot, when they discovered four men armed with guns, and having a large dog with them. The keeper and watchers went up at once to the men, and called on them to surrender, when the latter cried out " stand off, or we'll fire; rnd they placed themselves back to back, and presented their guns to the keeper and his assistants, who, nothing daunted, dashed forward, when two of the men fired, one at a dog which the keeper had with him, which was wounded in the leg. the other at Mr. Bell's coachman, who is an old Waterloo man. The latter fortunately turned the barrel of the gun a little on one side, which saved his life, as the whole of the charge passed through both sides of his jacket, which was open at the time, A third gun missed fire. Notwithstanding the shot fired at him the coachmen seized the poacher's gun anti got him down on the ground, when he felt for his knife, and said " I will very soon settle you." In the meantime th other poachers made a most violent assault on the game keeper and h. assistants, whereby the keeper w „Aced about the back, and two of ~:a cut about the head and face with the poacher's guns.

T!IE STORM AT CHESTERFIELD.— CURIOUS FACT.' — During the thunder -storm which passed over Chesterfield on Thursday, the lightning struck the house of Mr. Hat tersley, joiner, Brampton. It fell on the chimney, dis lodging several bricks, went down the chimney into the parlour, injurin g th e fi re - p l ace an d var i ous art i cles o f fur niture in the room, breaking the clock, and rending the floor-carpet. Miss Annie Hattersley, who was standing near the door, was struck on the left temple, and the electric fluid in its descent also left a small mark on her chest. Medical assistance was instantly sent for and Dr. Walker was speedily in attendance, but the young lady re mained in a state of insensibility for about an hour. We are very glad to hear that she is now progressing favour ably, and trust that the shock will leave no memorial of its visit but the recollection of the alarm it created. It appears, as already mentioned, that the lightning struck the chimney, whence it descended, after concussing and dislodging some of the bricks, to the bell-wire in one of the rooms. Along this it ran until it approached a clock standing on the staircase, which it shattered, driving with great force a metal pin to which the clock was attached through the wall into one of the rooms. Almost under the clock was the door opening, and open, to the kitchen, May 29,18_ i n ll in which doorway Mis s H a tt ers l e y was ietandolg: its fluid seemed to have been attracted from the doe., descent, by a nail in the lintel of this kitchen doery.eal. and then running down her leg, carrying that nail along with it grazed Miss flatters! sYrj; temple, singeing her hair, ran to the steel busk in i t ru e d, of her corset, marking her breast at the lop of th e s od its way into the ground.

Now tile part of the inquiry is, did this steel busk act in any as an attractor to the lightning from above, or , v. 3 _.,. 1 rather, providentially, a conductor so situated as to a b s the fluid from a course which might have cost the POse lady her life ?
