The sales were estimated at fron 8,000 to 10,000 ba'es. The Railway Share MarkA closed with a more animated appearance, and there Was a c msid.erable advance prices.

Until the next Overland Mail is announced the bullion brokers are not likely to transact much business, and as v ery few purchases are made on the Continent, n in , t of any gold supplies that may be received from itaerica or Australia will be sent to the Bank. Since the date of the last Bank of England re turn the •sales of bullion to the authorities, includ ing 32,0001. yesterday, have represented fully 600,0001., and assuming .that no withdrawals have occurred, the total amount of the precious metals i n their. vaults must now exceed eleven millions • and three quarters • sterling, which is a larger a ggregate than for some weeks past. If the demand • for - money should subside, and the bi-monthly shipments not exceed that recorded above, a reduc tion in the minimum to 5 per cent. would be ensured. An impression prevailed-in some quarters that the rate would be loweied to-day, but the Directors se- Nrated without announcing any alteration, and in the Discount market, where there is an active de laand, the full charge of 51- per cent. is exacted. The inquiry is not more urgent, however, than is 11 'nal on the day preceding the 4th of the month, W hen a large mass of commercial bills arrives at Maturity.

(This Day. TH A &LES. EMBEZZLEMENT BY A DOMESTIC SERVANT.—Harriet. Custer, aged 28, and diveling at the time of her appre hension at No. 17, Angel-place, Stratford, was brought before Mr. Yardley, cUarged with unlawfully appropria ting to her own use the sum of 25/ and upward., which had been entrusted to her by her mistress for the pay-, went of tra lesmens' bill,. It appeared fr.nu the evidence of Mr. William Matthews, a gentleman residing at No. 7, Caborn terrace, Bow-road, that the prisoner had been in the service of his mother, Airs. Lawrence, at the same place, and a good deal of coufidence was reposed in the servant, ho was entrusted with money from time to time to dis charge the tradesmen's accounts. A fortnight ago Mr Robt. Smith, a cheesemonger, of No. 19,Leadenhall-street sent in a bill to the amount 9/. 19s. lid, for goods sup plied to Mrs. Lawrence, who was very much surprised when she received it, as she had given money to the prisoner to discharge the account as the goods were delivered. The prisoner was questioned by Mr. Matthews in the presence of Mr. Smith and her mistress, and she then admitted that she had appropriated money, which she ought to have paid to tradesmen, to her own use, and al .0 said she was very sorry, and if time was given she would get the money. The prisoner was at once dis missed from her situation, and other frauds having been subsequently discovered, the prisoner was given into custody. The butcher, baker, grocer, and every trades• man who supplied Mrs. Lawrence with goods, sent in bills, although the prisoner had been in , trusted with money to pay for every thing on delivery. In answer to questions by the magistrate, Mr. Matthews said his mother was 77 years of age and paralysed, and could cot attend the court. Mre Lawrence was in the practice of giving the prisoner 51. or 101. at a time to - pay tradesmen's bills. Mr. Matthowe then produced the prisoner's account-book, and said the t':eficiency amounted to 251. or 301., and she had nut put the proper dates in the book. She was discharged on ►he lath of August. Mr. Yardley at first doubted whether the prisoner's offence was criminal, but after reading some cases in the law books said the prisoner had committed a larceny if Mr. Matthews oould establish by evidence what he had set up. The case was a complicated and difficult one, owing to the absence of Mrs. Lawrence and the difficulty of proving that any money was paid to pay the bill of any particular tradesman. It was a question of arith metic, and Mr. Matthews must look over the prisoner's account-book and ascertain from that how much she bad set down as having been paid to tradesmen which had not been paid. The father of the prisoner said he was very sorry his daughter had acted in the way she had done, but he con,idered she was allowed too much latitude, and her accounts ought to have been cheoked every week. It was the fault of the mistress. Mr. Yardley said he bad allowed the father too much latitude, and rebuked him for attempting to censure an aged lady who had put confidence in her servant. He would not allow such remarks on respectable persona to be passed over unnoticed. This was not a question whether Mrs. Lawrence or Mr. Matthews had been prudent, but whether the prisoner had unlawfully ap propriated 301. to her own use. He then remanded the prisoner for a week. 89 - 91 95 7-7 97 s~ ~c# Itl - 115 118 - 123 4 - f» 12A - 13 • •• 70 - 72 114 - 116 107 - 109 101 - 103 61 -- 63 10} -- 10 5i - 6 89 - 91 82 - 84 83 - 85 97 - 99 9i - 10 'G? io .35 lio .12 114 .53 - 155 I - it 64 - 66 30 -- 132 95 -- 97 85 -- 87 ii-i 1 -104 93 - 95 1; - i - 41 22 - 23 - 115 - 105 10 - 10 221 -- 23 98 -- 100 95 -- 100 26 - 27 li -26 p MINES. 14. - 154 6 - 7 115 - 125 450 - 460 16 - 17 7 - 7i 3 •- 4 i - -- 9 - 1 0 15 - 16 3} - 4i 20 - 21 5 - 6 li -- 2 340 - 360 5 - 6 1260 - 270 - - 11 4i - 46 130 - 150 4 - 1 266 - 276 il5 - 125 210 - 220 295 - 310 8 - 86 23 - 24 47 - 48 22 - 24 MINES. li - 2 il7 - 13 46 48 10 12 id, ri 8 ld p 1 ---- ••• - •• 5 - 7• ••• - ••• 2f - 2i ••• ••• 3 i - 31 ,Axgous. 211 - 22A1 4i 35 - 40 'l3B • 142 1 1104 - 11141 30 - 35 25 27 31 41 101. - 103 la li ... ... ••• ••• la lad 3fi 3i ••• j• ••• •.. - 2i 3 2 - 3 it id 16 18 97 B - ••• ••• Ad ip 2 68 70 4 5p 21 —23 6 8 53 60 ••• ••• 106 -- 108 33 - 35 1 - 1 0•11 ... ••• 10 -• 12 LLOYD'S' SHIPPING.--(This Day.)

MADAME TUSSAUD'S Extllurrioiv.—A highly-interest ing figure has just been completed, and placed in the principal room of this establishment ; it represents the founder of Pennsylvania, William Penn. This portrait model has been taken from an authentic bust by Oudon, is admirably constructed, and is intended, wo understand, to form part of a group representing .9.merican benefac tors—Kankliv, Washington, &c. quainlnes; of form, and in brilliancy of colours those wonderful masses surpassed everything I had imagined ; and we found endless amusement in watching their fantastic procession. At one time it was a knight on horseback, aid in sapphire mail, a white plume above his caque ; or a cathedral window, with shafts of chrysopbras, now powdered by a snow-storm ; or a smooth ?sheer cliff of lapis lazuli ; or a banyan tree, with roots descending from its branches, and a foliage as delicate as the efflorescence of molten metal ; or a fairy dragon, that breasted the water in scales of emerald ; or anything else that your fancy chose to con jure up.—Lord Dufferin's Lctters from High, Latitudes. THE TOAD.—A proof of the well-known fact in na tural history, that a toad continues to live, although deprived of food, light, and a'r, was witnessed at Kin nahaird, in Ros e -shire, last week. One of Mr. Ross's sons, on the 12th of August, 1850, placed a live toad in a box about four inches square, and, buried it a foot and a half under ground. On the 12th of August, this year, the box was dug up, wid: it in n r n e o m t o h vin g g u t a h u e su li a d l , h th ad e toad hap. was found to be alive, and apparently in excellent p h e e n al e t d h . , — a i n n d v w ci a .it l e k B e B o do o ff nttier.

Last night (Tuesday) Mr. Copeland was rewarded for his exertions to please the public by an ()ye:flowing au• dience at the Theatre Royal, to bear Madlle. Piccolo lomini in "La Traviata." We understand that a thousand or more persons were turned away from the pit and upper boxes. We hope fcr Mr. Copeland's sake that he may be able to arrange for a repetition of this opera on Saturday next ; it would go far to rest/luau-ate Lim for the very great expenses be has incurred in his spirited inauguration of his elegantly revived theatre. We cannot afford to give up either of the other operas advertised for to-night, Thursday, or Friday. Madlle. PicolOcuini has too great opportunities in each of them to allow of their being withdrawn. She is so completely the star of this company, as she would or any other, that we must take her per formance into principal consideration. Not that we would undervalue Signori Gieglini, Beneventano, Ross, Belleti, Madlles. Spezia, and Ortolani ; but the charm of Madlle Picolomini, both as a singer and an actress, place her before all the opera performers of the day. We bear of her beauty as her principal attraction. We hope she will forgive our saying that we cannot see it. Many other performers have the advantage of her in figure and face ; but, like Jenny Lind, she makes a confidant of her audience, arrests their attention, and then chains them by the exquisite taste and expression, added to the most perfect and facile execution which she throws into every part, with the most delightful tone ; au elegant manner and an ease, grace, and animation that is unrivalled by any owe on the stage at present—at least that has been seen in this country. Giugliui in Alfred di Ger mont, and. Beneventano in II Corte di Germont were very much applauded. Madame Porna was much more satisfectory iu Flora Bevoix than she was in Azolene on Monday; and the whole opera was rendered as effectively as the compooition would admit of. We cannot think it one of Verdi's successes, though there are some pleasing parts in the music and the situations are dramaticly effective. To-night Douizzetti's popular opera "La Figlia di Reggimenie—the triumph of Jenny Lind, in which•Maduille. Piccolourini has established a success ful rivalry—will be performed, and she will be sup• ported 'by Sig,nor Belletti, as the Sergeant. The evil we have complained of arising from the enthusiasm of the audience encoring the principal performers during the eXecuti, a of a piece of music was so annoying last night, as to raire a considerable cry of " hush. We hope it will be abated to-night ; and abolished altogether on Thursday and Friday next as it is clear that Signor Vaschetti, who conducts in first rate style, will not stop the music to aliow for the reception, and as I have said before, the beautiful openinc , of "Vigaro" and "Dan 'Giovanni" will be spoiled.—Liverpool paper. VIE TONIC SOL-Pd ASSOOIATION AT TRW CRYSTAL PALACE. Yesterday was truly a " people's day" at the Crystal Palace. The juvenile concert of the Tonic Sol-fa Association had been announced, with a choir numbering about 3,000 voice;, and from e aa early hour it was apparent the promoters of the fete had struck a chord el public sympathy. The Palace, F , pacious as it is, seemed crowded during the concert, and we never re member seeing an assembly more powerfully affected, than was that yesterday as the concert proceeded. The children occupied the orchestra erected for the Handel feeeival, and when they rose together and sang simply and sweetly the hymn, " My God, how endless is thy love," the touch of nature was irresistible. The occasion awakened a reminiscence of the annual gathering of the children under the dome of St. Paul's, but the light and graceful palace, with the trees and flowers, and especially the popular audience, absolved from the penalty of the sermon, suggested a con trast more striking than the resemblance. Many of the 'pieces sung were of a cheerful' religious cha racter ; others embodied come healthy and pleasing natural sentiment. The music, sung with a will, was at the Fame time executed with a precision and truthful. ness which reflect the highest credit on the gen leaven who have trained the classes. The audience, in the ful ness of its delight, re-demanded a large proportion of the pieces—Spofforth's "Hail, Smiling Morn," and Dr. Callcott's "Stormy Wi n d s " b e i ng among the numb( r. On other occa , ione, we have described the peculiarities and merits of the Sol-fa method as taught by the Rev. John Cur wen, pr sident of the association : it will suffice now to say that it seeks to develop the voice, ear, and understanding, in connexion with the real nature of music itself. With this view it introduces in the earlier steps a simpler and more intelligible way of writing music for the voice than that in common use, which quickly becomes, however, the readiest interpreter of the established notation, and sure key to its difficulties. The success of yesterday's experiment must be most gratifying to all who take an interest in the cultivation of the faculty of vocal music. TILE DIVORCE BILL DISSECTED. LBY PUNCH.] 7 he Divorce Bill's an Act, the Divorce Bill is Law, Old PAM has established a clerical raw, Though C 4 —LADsTONE protests, and SAX WILBERFORCH groans That whst's good for a Duke is not good for a Jones. The battle of tangled amendments is past, The Royal assent is accorded at last ; So, that DARBY and JOAN may be trapped by no fallacies, Punch begs to offer this little analysis. The Licence (you'd better have banns) is Still bought Where with greedy-eyed touters your battle is fought: Thu j 06.0. thy., kuvw elugle trout mamed men, thus, He who, seeing them, scowls, hath said "better or wus." As regards divorce questions, Punch gladly reports We've abolished the Ecclesiastical Courts ; All complaints matrimonial, for kill or for cure, Are tried in LORD CuriD-PAat's new Coif/. tCAmour. Its Judge (with 5,0001. a-year) is a cretnr Whose title's true accent is hostile to metre : But turn to your Litany--notice whose tongue May command "other times" when that prayer shall Le sung. Before him may practise a herd of Inquisitors, Barristers, proctors, attorneys, solicitors. He takes Separations, and small things of course, But a Fall Court (three judges) must sit for Divorce. Now, DARBY, perpend. Should your JOAN go astray— Well, you're right to look fierce—but some other JOAN may. Her DARBY petitions this Judge (or my Lord Of Assize) to estrange, her from bed and from board. And if DARBY goes wrong, or he wops his poor JOAN, Or for more than two years from her household has flown The law has decreed, in its wisdom, to fence her With the same Release-Order, d thoro ct mensa. And while she's deserted, if DARBY (the beast) Interferes with her poor little goods in the least, She may go to a Beak, whose proceedings are quick, And policeman Z 1 will administer Stick. There ends, we must say, JOAN, as far as we see, Any special relief that's allowed to the She, For the Men make the law, and so please to observe How it stands if you, Madam, from duty should swerve. He may get a Divorce—that's a grave, solemn thing, Annulling the marriage and melting the ring : And though actions like those which disgrace us are barred, He may claim from LOTRARIO what juries award. But you have no right for divorce, JOAN, to stir, (Save in cases so shocking they rarely occur), Except he's so base as from virtue to draw One he must not espouse—say, a sister-in-law : Or unless he's been dreadfully cruel, so bad That (without other sin) a divorce should be had : Or unless in your note of his conduct appears " Inexcusable absence for more than two years." [What the law calls " excuse" must remain to be seen, It may be mach Nagging, or much Crinoline, Or a constant Piano, a Parrot's vile shriek, Or Your Mother his guest more than three times a-week.] That's the pith of the bill, but it likewise provides That no parson need marry divorced men, or brides, Where the party divorced was the sinner —but, still, Any church must be free to a parson who will. Let LOTEIARIO take note, ere with glances and smirk He addresses himself to his dastardly work, That he's not only fined for the wrong he has done, But is mulct ie all costs—most infrequently fun. So much for the Act—the mere naming its name In one home of ten thousand, in England, were shame, But while Masculine's vicious and Feminine's weak, What help fur the wronged but appeal to the Beak I One point it affirms let us chiefly lay stress -- That Wrong, and not Gold, gives the right to redress; -Aid that iIkLEN, the Countess, no longer can buy` What to NRLLY, the Laundress, tribunals deny. Take heed whom you marry 7 —when married, take heed That affection's the cue for each word and each deed; And you'll care just as much for this act and its cases, As Punch and his Judy—whom now he embraces. [Suits the action to the word—gives her a cheque for her milliner, mentions that he has engaged her a house at the sea-side—adds that lie will take her and her dear mother to Richmond to dinner to-day—puts a new bracelet on her white arm—salutes her- and exit dancing, and de riding all the Divorce Bills in the world.] EXPERIMENT IN CAUSEWATING AT EDINBURGR.—The North Bridge, as our greatest thoroughfare, has just been made the subject of an experiment in causewaying which it to be hoped will be successful, seeing that it . is evidently a most expensive operation. The traffic in coaches, carts, and other heavy carriages is pro digiou s mode of across this street, and hitherto the ordinary T u causewaying with the block of whineturethie courses has been found quite insufpcie experiment now scarcely being over off the road.

Ho was a robust young fellow, by no. means what they called an Albino, as his eyes were just of the same colour as those of his trite. He weft by the name of Bocbra Jem, or White Jemmy, and was a tailor by trade. I found his skin in all respects the same as my own, saving that where the sun had given mine the appearance of mahogany, his was blotched with ()toad freckles of a lighter tint. In other respects he was in reality a negro from head to foot. He stood ap- parently about 5 feet 9 inches in height, with a finely expanded chest, and a back as strai,ht as an arrow ; but he was deficient in the calves of his legs, while you could not help remarking the protusion of his heels, so noted in the negro. Both his father and his mother were healthy jet black negroes. He appeared to be about 20 years 01( 1 , and was probably the only white negro ever een in Demerara.— Waterton's Essays. THE MURDER IN THE QUEEN'' FRL N IThere appears to be no doubt that the Italian, Antonio de Salvi, against whom the coroner's jury have returned a veiclict of wilful murder, will have to take his trial for that offence at the ensuing '5,33. sion of the Central Criminal Court, notwithstand ing the fact that he is at present - under a senten ea of fifteen years' penal servitude upon a convict ion of woundi ng th e d ecease d gen tl ema n with intent to do grievous bodily harm, arising out of the s me circumstances. The transaction appears to be one of an altogether unusual kied. The attack made by the prisoner upon the unfortunate deceised. was of the most deadly an d p reme dit a t e 1 c h arac t er , an d tl ie Solicitor to the 'Treasury, upon a suggestion mad _ by Mr. Combo, the magistrate before w ho m the affair Wes inquired into, received instructions to prosecute on behalf of the Crown, and when the last se ;sion of the Central Criminal Court came on he had no al rnative, as the deceased was still alive but to pre fer an indictment against De S.slyi in the usual form, for feloniously wounding, the first count charging the intent to murder, and the second to do grievous bodily hirm. It was certa i n at this time that the injuries the deceased had received must prove fatal, and the general understanding, both on the part of the prosecution and the counsel for the defence, was that the indictment against the prisoner should stand over to the follo wing session, as in the event of the death tatting place a verdict of wilful murder must inevitably ba returned by the coroner's jury, and any proce 2dinga that might be taken under the indictment for feloniously wounding would be rendered altogether nugatory. Mr. Baron Martin, the presiding judge, however, resisted the postponement of the trial, and De Salvi was consequently tried upon the indictintnt that had been found by the grand jury, and bei ng can _ victed upon the minor count of wounding with in tent to do grievous bodily li inn ho was thereupon sentenced to be kept iu penal servitude for 15 yews. On the following day the unfortunate man Robertson died of the injuries he had received, and the coroner's jury hal no oilier course left open to them upon the &els of the case than to return a verdict of wilful murd. r against the pri , oner, and in duo course Mr. Payne, the coroner, lodged his warrant at the gaol of Newgatb for the detantiou of the prisoner upon that charge. A similar state of things has very rarely occurred, but it has never been the practice in any such case to allow a charge of wilful murder to merge into one of felony merely, and the prisoner will consequently, no doubt, have to undergo the painful ordeal of a second trial, iu the result of which his life will be at stake. The prisoner appears to be a most mild and inoffensive young man ; indeed, the last person who would be thought capable of committing such a dreadful act, and almost from the moment ofcerumitting the deed he has never failed to expres i the deepest sorrow and regret for what lie had done. It appears that he has no relations iu England, but during the last few days he has received a communication from a brother in Paris, and the necessary preparations are being made to defend him upon the charge of murder. ARREST OF THE NORTHAMPTON POST MASTER. .N ORT H A.MP TON, TUESDAY. This morning Mr. Butcher, the Northampton postmaster, was arrested on a charge of stealing a half-rovereign from a letter. Complaints have keen made for some time about letters that were posted in Northampton, contain ing money, not reaching their destination, and at last it was determined, it po sible, to see where the fault lay. A gentleman named Mole, connected with the London Post-office, posted a letter at Ouuclle, Northamptonshire, containing a half-sove reign, which had been marked in the presence of witnesses. The letter was sent to the postmaster at Northampton, with a request that he would for ward it to a lady at Macc'esfield. In the meantime the mail guard had orders that as soon as the bag containing the letters was delivered to• him on Tuesday morning he was to open it and see if it contained this letter. According to instructions the bag was opened, but particular letter was mis , ing. Mr. Mole then went to the post-office, and asked Mr. Butcher if he had seen a letter ad dressed as above, and the postmaster said he had not. Mr. Mole next inquired who was _in the post-office on Monday evening, and Butcher said that he was, but there were others also with him during a part of the time. Mr. Mole then asked the postmaster if he bad any objection to be searched. Mr. Butcher said "No," and on turning out his pockets the half-sovereign which had been previ ously marked was discovered, and identified by Mr. Mole. Mr. Butcher was then given into custody, and taken before the magistrates, w:.en, after a prelimi nary examination, he was remanded until Tuesday next. The arrest of Mr. Butcher, on the above serious charge, has created intense excitement here, as he was a man highly respected, and by his assiduity and strict attention to business, from a humble letter-carrier, has attained the proud position of postmaster. —Cheltenham Chronicle.

The object of the bill is to extend to the English middle classes the same privilege,3 on the subject of divorce which have for two centurie3 past been en joyed by the rich ; to put it in the power of any English subject to obtain, by the expeediture of two or three hundred dollars, a boon the enjoyment of which has hitherto been limited to those who could afford to spend 10,000 dollars—thet being about the lowest aerount needed to carry through a divorce under the system which now exists. This proposal, however, is very shocking to quite a num ber of members of Parliament, who, if they have not actually voted for special divorces, have at least suffered them to pies without protest. They discover all at once that by religion and law marriage is indis soluVe under any circumstances, and that the same privilege on this subject enjoyed by the few cannot be extended to the many without danger of an utter dissolution of manners. The English clergy, always the bulwark of the aristocracy, from which all its higher members were selected, step forward with zeal in the support of existing privileges. They undertake to make a matter of conscience of I*. So long as the divorced parties were parties of wealth and position the clergy seem to have married them again without protest or question ; but the idea of giving the marriage benediction to mere vulgar culeri's greatly troubles them, and has led to many petitions against the new bill, to which the English clergy seem about as generally opposed as they are to allowing a man to marry the sister of his deceased wife. Whether the English lew which ad mits the remarriage of the guilty parry to a divorce is wise or not, is a question upon which we express no opinion. In most Protestant counts ies met, marriages are prohibited, though here, in the United States, the nrohibieiou is conetently evaded by cele bratii4,Y the new mat riage in a different State from that in which the divorce was obtaint.d. The point that strikes us as old is, that on'y in this parCcular case do the clergy charge their consciences with the . propriety or morality of the in trriages they are called upon to celebrate. The same principle, fully and consistently carried out, would, we apprehend, stop a great, many marriages. A (le:gym:en called upon to celebrate a marriage is b _mild to satisfy himself that no legal obstacle exists. But it wool not seem necessary to Ask any questions for mere conscience sake.—New .York Tribune. The line of electr:c telegraph'from Lisbon to London via Madrid and Paris will be opened throughout the entire length in a few days. CITY OF LONDON REGISTRATION OF PARLIAMEN • TART VOTERS.-Mr. Thos.

HERR STAUDIGL.—At a concert given by the Imperial Lunatic Aslyum of Vienna, on the birthday of the Emperor, the celebrated singer Staudigl was present. It is already known that he has bean for some time under treatment in this institution, and his appearance gave great delight to all present, which was increased when afterwards, in the presence of a small circle of friends, Staudigl sang the " Wanderer " of Schubert, with such depth of feeling and 'expression' as affected many of his hearers even to tears. A HAPPY LITTLE COUNTY.--For the last ten years the judges of assize have frequently passed high eolo ginms on the county of Rutland for the very smal amount of criminal business brought before them. On Friday last Oakilarn county gaol and house of correction was in an unprecedented condition ; the doors • of the male department of the prison were thrown open, there not being any prisoner confined there. Oa Saturday evening the agreeable anomaly Tv:,s dissolved by the committal -of Thomas Tomblin, of Batr,:wden, for 14 days' bard labour for a misdemeancr. PILCHARD FISHRRY.—LOGE (CORNWALL), SEPT. I. The pilchard fishery still continues to be prosperous, drift boats this morning averaging about 10,000 per boat. Seans did not shoot last evening. A large sturgeon was caught in the Looe Harbour this morning. St. Agnes, Sept. I:—The last of a catch of 600 hogsheads of fine pilchards was brought in last night, in number cne and a-half million. This is the third catch for the season, making altogether 900 hogsheads. The prospect of fur ther catches is very good. THE BRITISH ASSOCIATION.—DUBLIN, Wed nesday.— Yesterday's proceedings were most agreeably wound up with a monster soiree at Dublin Castle, the partakers of Lord Carlisle's hospitality counting by hundreds, in cluding, of course, all the intellectull lions resident and strangers in the Irish metropolis.' It is' conceded on alt hands, now that the meetings of -the Association are ap proaching their finale, that the session of 1357 has been quite a success, a result which must in no smell measure be attributed to the warm encouragement and support of the present Viceroy. This is the last day of the sec tional meetings, and to-morrow the savans commence their tour of country excursions. Loss OF LIFE BY FlRE.—Yesterday, W. Payne, Eq., the coroner of the city of London, received information nf th. Joath of a ynunp: woman, named Fanny Craven, aged 22 years, under the following circumstances was a servant in a gentleman's family, at Lee, in Kent, and was standing with her back to the fire, when the wind from the kitchen door Wafted her dress against the bars of the grate. The dress ignited, and she was soon enveloped in one body of fire. Her screams brought assistance, when the flames were extinguished, and she was conveyed by trb.in to St. Thomas's Hospital, where every assistance was rendered, till death put a period to her existence. A MAGPIE IN CEIURCH.—Such certainly was the case when Jack, a magpie, well known iu the vil'age of —, in the county of Kent, for his mischievous propensities, entered the village church in the afternoon of Sunday, July 25, 1852, during the time of divine service. Our friend hopped quietly in at the open door, and for a time surveyed the congregation, recognising many a friend who was wont to greet him with words of kindness and familiarity ; but, on this occasion, Jack was surprised at finding that no notice was taken of him. At last he seemed determined that he would not be thus overlooked, and down the middle aisle he marched knocking at the door of each pew and announc ing his arrival to the inmates with a clear lou I "Here am I." This move had the desired effect ; forju a very few moments, every eye was turned upon our hero. The worthy parson, finding himielf in a decided minority and perceiving broad grins coming over the before solemn faces of his flock, at once stopped the service and desired the clerk to eject the intruder. But the order was more easily given than executed. Jack was deter mined not to leave, and so, finding himself pursued, took refuge in a forest of legs belonging to his young friends, the school children, who did not appear at all unwilling to afford h:rn shelter. The, clerk rushed on, intent upon catching the enemy, and putting an end to this unorthodox pros: e Hug, and over, first a bench, and then a chili, be stumbled, in his attempts to pounce upon the fugitive, who easily evaded his grasp and always appeared just where the clerk was not, informing him ever and anon of hie whereabout by the old cry—" Here am I." At last, with the help of two or three of the congregation who had joined in the pursuit, a capture was effected and Jack was ignomini ously turned out and the door closed upon him. After the lapse of a few minutes, order and solemnity were restored in the church ; and the prayers wore recom menced and ended without further disturbance. The parson, in due time, ascended to the pulpit. He gave out his text and commenced a discourse calculated, no doubt, to be of much benefit to his hearers ; but he had not proceeded far, when he was interrupted by a loud noise, accompanied by rapping at the little window at the back of the pulpit. Turning round to ascertain the cause, he beheld our friend Jack pecking away it the window, flapping his wings against it, and screaming at the top of his voice—" Here am I—here am I" a fact which no one could gainsay or resist laughing at. The worthy parson finding his own gravity and that of his congregation so entirely upset by what had occurred, brought his sermon to a speedy conclusion, and dismissed the congregation. Sentence of death was re• corded against-the offender, but upon the petition of a number of the parishioners, it waa commuted to trane. portation for life froth the 'precincts of the church.— Fraser's Magazine. SUNDAY PHOTOGRAPHY IN LEEDS —At the Leeds Court House, on Tuesday, before J. H. Shaw and E. Irwin, Esqrs., a your.g man, named Amos Lambert, appeared to answer a summons charging him with having, on Sunday last, followed his ordinate calling by taking and selling photographic likenesses. Mr. Ferns, who appeared for the defendant, said he was not in structed to deny the facts stated by the poliee.officer ; but he contended that his client was not following his ordinary calling on the Sabbatlodsy, inasmuch as he was a wood carver by trade, and practised photography an an amateur ; but, even supposing it to be his ordi nary calling, he (Mr. Ferns) would submit it to the bench that it was not a case for interference, becawe no harm whatever could arise from likeness-taking on a Sun day. Indeed, it very often happened that artists obtained sittings on a Sunday. After a consultation, Mr. Sha w said that the bench had no doubt whatever that the taking of photographic likenesses had been made a•part of Amos Lambert's ordinary daily calling. If a person chose to know two or three occupations, each was his " ordidaary callin." But the difficulty experienced b the bench was, whetheraphotographic artist came within the meaning of the word "artificer" in the Act of Parlia ment. The words were—" No trade.-man, artificer, workman, labourer, or other person whatsoever can exercise their ordinary calling on the Lord's-day." words, "or other person whatsoever," must mean of the same description as those mentioned before ; they could not extend to other classes, that was quite clear. That being so, the question was simply, wbat was the meaning of the word artificer, and if it included artists ? In the Imperial dictionary, the word artificer meant artist ; and, turning to the word art, he found that it included mechanical skill. If the case could be heard at the sessions, he should have thought that the best coarse would be to raise the question there, by the h b h e e nc in flicting a small penalty, so that an made.appe"igoftthe But there was no appeal from the decision t magi strates, and as they were anxious no ogo short of the h t' law, or to go beyond it, they should allpw t e clues lin to stand over till they had an opportunity of consulting the IV-corder, or some other person of eminence, on the point whether the practice of photography came within Parliament.—Leeds Mercury. the meaning of the Peril TOURIST ARRANGEMEN rs. In our last number, we gave fell details of the route to be followed•by those persons who will visit Canada and the United States.next year, provided with " Great Eastern Tourist Tickets." We now publish a map, upon which the whole of the railways comprised in the route are indicated. They will be at once recognised by being marked with broad black lines. We have now to announce that tours in the reverse direction are in course of organisation, by which tourist tickets (in addition to the ordinary busine=43 tickets, both single and return, to be issued at New York, Boston, Portland, Chicago, Toronto, and Montreal, for Liverpool. Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol, London, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dablin, Cirk, Belfast, Paris, Brussels, &c.) will be available irom any of these American cities, by rail, to Ford tod; thence by the Great Eastern to her British port (Holyhead), and from thence to the Lakes of Kil'arney and the Giant's Causeway. Quitting Ireland by the line of steamers fr.an Belfast to Glasgow, the tourist ticket holder will be taken through the picturesque scenery of the Fligh'ands of Scotland, thence to Edinburgh. Oa his departure from the Land o' Cakes, he will reach London, and from there his route will be, via Folkston! and Boulogne, to Paris ; thence to Geneva. From that city he will be conveyed along the great arterial highways of Switzer land—by railway and steamboat when these are available, and when they are not by the admir able system 'of Post carriages which ramify through every part of the country. He will thus be brought to all the points nearest to the grandest scenery, whence he can make pedestrian excursions and revertagain, at his option, to the route of his ticket. Arrived at Basle, he will next proceed to Strasburg, and thence to Mayence and Frankfort. The Rhine atcamers will convey him along the beautiful scenery of that river to Emnerich, on the borders of Holland. While in that country he will visit Am3terdare, the Rot terdam.
