IMPORTANT CAUTION! ROWLAND and SON, 20, Hatton-garden, • London, beg to caution the Nobility and Gentry being misled by the attempts of some shopkeepers, who, to compounds of their own manufacture, give the titles of " Macassar 011," "Kalydor," and " Odonto "—some under the implied sanction of Royalty, and the Government departments, with similar attempts at deception, while they copy the Bills, Labels, Advertisements, and Testhnonials—substituting fictitious Names and Addresses for the real—of the Original Preparations, The only genuine " Macas• sor Oil," " Kalydor," and " Odento," are "ROWLANDS' " and the Wrapper of each bears the name of "ROWLANDS' " preceding that of the article, with their signature at the foot, in red ink—thus— " A. ROWLAND Sz SON." ROWLAND'S MACASSOR OIL for the growth, and for preser ving, improving, and beautifying the human hair. ROWLAND'S KALYDOR, for improving and beautifying the skin and complexion. ROWLAND'S ODONTO, or Pearl Dentifrice, for rendering the teeth beautifully white, and strengthening the gums. The especial patronage of her Majesty the Queen, 11.R.H. Prince Albert, the whole of the Royal Family, and of every Court in the civilised world, and the high esteem in which these preparations are universally held, together with numerous testimonials constantly received of their efficacy, afford the best and surest proofs of their merits.

BURTON'S (late RIPPON and BURTON'S) chemically purified material has been before it (made into every useful and ornamental article usually made in silver, possessing, as it does, the characteristic purity and durability of silver), has called into existence the deleterious compounds of " Albata Plate," " Berlin Silver," and other so-called substitutes ; they are at best but bad imitations of the genuine articles manufactured and sold only by him.

In the lengthened and increasing popu larity of the material itself, and the high character of the method of plating, the public have a guarantee that the articles sold by W. S.

Diffidence, or a sense of right determ , ne the former, and miscalculated hopes em- Idtter the latter. Tha solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un comprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness a.,d social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an Item In the compact : it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little MEMOIRS "On Single and Married Life," pub. in 2 vols., Is. each (by post, in stamps, ls. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered by misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining them.

An Authentic Report, " A most amusing history of the affaizs of the whole world, at home and abroad, for the last thirty years."—Examiner. London : Smith, Elder, and Co., 65, Cornhill. ATTEMPTED MURDER AND SUICIDE IN THE CITY. A most deliberate attempt at murder took place on Saturday afternoon, between the hours of three and four, in Mark-lane, City. The following particulars connected with the dreadful affair were obtained from parties who were eye-witnesses of the same, and may be relied upon as being perfectly free from exaggeration : It appears that the person whose life has been placed in danger is Mr. George Crawley, a highly respectable wine merchant, carrying on business in the lower part of the house numbered 12, Mark-lane, just above the New Corn Exchange, on the opposite side of the way. The intended assassin is named John Ovenstone, and has for some considerable time past carried on the business of an upholsterer in Great Titchfield-street, Marylebone. From what could be learned from the friends of both persons, it seems that an execution had been sent into Ovenstone's house, which had greatly exasperated him. Mr. Crawley having been the plaintiff in a suit, the ac cused went, at the time above stated, to his place of business for no other purpose than to murder him. Upon arriving at his offices, he saw one of Mr. Crawley's clerks, of whom he inquired whether or not his employer was within. Having been answered in the negative, he expressed his regret that he was not; and desired the clerk, if he could, to send for him, as he had business of great import. ance to transact, which could not be delayed. Un fortunately Mr. Crawley was at a friend's house in the City, and the request of Ovenstone having been made known to him, he at once returned to his offices. Upon (. : , ...tering ha inquired oLOxenstone what his business was, when he raved out in a great passion, " What do you mean by doing what you have done ?" The unfortunate gentleman only had time to reply, " Why, Mr. Ovenstone, you know that I have only done—," when Ovenstone cried out, " Take that l' at the same moment discharging the contents of a loaded pistol at Mr. Crawley. A cry of " Murder !" was immediately raised, and Mr. Crawley ran bleed ing into the street. A great crowd soon congregated round the wounded man, who took him to the sur gery of Messrs. Harris, Duplex, and Co., in Fen church-street. Upon an examination being made, it was ascertained that a bullet had entered the cheek of Mr. Crawley, and had torn away a portion of the roof of the mouth, but the ball had lodged in the cavity. Seeing the dangerous state he was in, Mr. Harris advised his removal to the hospital, which was , forthwith done. When Mr. Crawley's clerk saw his master was wounded, he closed the door and locked the at tempted murderer in. He had hardly done so before a second report of fire-arms was heard to proceed from the place. A party of the City police immediately repaired to the house, and Constables Strickland and Edmonds entered, and found Ovenstone sitting in a chair, with a couple of pistols near him, and blood flowing in copious streams from his head and face. , They immediately secured both the pistols and Ovenstone, and, having placed him in a cab, they took him to Gay's Hospital. Mr. Cocks and Mr. Wilkes, two of the house surgeons, were in instant attendance. They found that the injuries he had in flicted on himself were of a most frightful character • the ball app eare d to have entere d at t h e mouth, passe d in an oblique direction, and lodged over the left temple. From the fact of the bullet remaining in the head very little hopes are entertained of his re covery. Mr. Crawley made the following statement respect ing the affair, which, it will be perceived, fully sub stantiates the report :—" Yesterday afternoon, about half -past three o'clock, whilst conversing with a friend in the wine trade, my clerk came to me and said that Mr. Ovenstone, of Great Titchfield-street, wanted to speak to me. I immediately went into my room, where I found Mr. Ovenstone, to whom I said, ' Well, Mr. O vens t one, I un d e rstand y ou wan t t o see me.' He replied, Yes, Sir, I do. I inquired what his business was with me, when he shouted out, What do you mean by doing what you have done ? you are a p re tt y f e ll ow , I think. My impression was that he was alluding to a sale that had taken place at his house. I told him that I had nothing to do with it ; that I had left my case in my solicitor's hands. I had no sooner uttered these words, than he put his hands into his pocket, for the purpose, as I imagined, of drawing out his handkerchief, instead of which he pulled out a pistol, presented the mouth at me, and before I had time to get away he dis charged the contents in my face. I immediately ran out into the street, and cried Murder,' and after wards went to Mr. Harris's surgery, and thence I came to this hospital in a cab. When I ran out Oven stone was in the room, and I understand from my clerk that he locked him in to prevent his escape. What afterwards took place I do not know of my own knowledge, but I have been told that Ovenstone shot himself the moment after I ran into the street." It is understood that the medical gentlemen have been successful in extracting the ball which bad lodged en it s s ton h e a ' in head, been the int en ti on o f th e and that it is now in th e g care of Edmonds, the officer. Th ere seems t o b e no d wretched man to kill Mr. C rawley, and then destroy care of about i a ° v himself, as, in addition to the fact of his going to that gentleman's counting-house with two heavily loaded pistols, a written statement was found in his coat pocket, which was evidently drawn up so as to give a full explanation of the several reasons that had actuated him to attempt the commission of the crime. In it he states that he is tired of the world, and, after detailing his many misfortunes, expresses his desire to die. It appears that Ovenstone, in conjunc tion with a Mr. Cremer, was the assignee of a bank rupt, manager of an inn in Holborn, to whom Mr. Crawley had supplied wine and spirits, but Oven stone's co-assignee failing, Mr. Crawley proceeded at law against Ovenstone for the amount due to the estate, about 1501. SUNDAY EVENING..--.Upon making inquiries this evening at St. Thomas's Hospital as to the state of the unfortunate sufferer, Mr. Crawley, it was ascer tained that a change had taken place for the worse. When Mr. Solly, the senior assistant surgeon, made an examination of his patient, he found that the bullet from the pistol, after passing through the cheek and fracturing the jaw-bone, had then lodged in the skull. To extract this required considerable care, but with the aid of forceps Mr. Solly succeeded in extracting the ball. Messrs. Barwell and Elborough, two of the assistants, sat up with Mr. Crawley the whole of Sa turday night, but, although no immediate danger is apprehended, from the change that had taken place during the after part of Sunday, it is feared that ery sipelas will supervene, and if so the worst conse quences may be expected. With respect to the intended assassin, it was learned, upon inquiry being made last evening at Guy's Hospital, that he was considerably better. The bullet, which had entered at the mouth, had passed obliquely through the thick flesh of the cheek to the top of the scalp, without injuring the brain. By merely removing a small portion of the skin of the head the ball was extracted without much diffi culty. Mrs. Crawley, the wife of the unfortunate sufferer, called at the hospital yesterday afternoon, for the pur pose of seeing her husband, but from the dangerous state he was in she was not allowed to enter the ward in which he is, the surgeon fearing that sudden excite ment may aggravate his case. Mr. Yates, the managing clerk to Mr. Crawley, stated yesterday to the reporter, that when Ovenstone entered his employer's house he appeared in a dread. fully excited state, and on one of the parties on th.e premises asking him if he knew he merely raised his arms, and with a vacant gaze re plied, " Oh, no ; oh, no. Ovenstone, it appears, is a single man, and his sister for some time acted a s housekeeper to him, but she died about six months since, and he has ever since been unfortunate in business. a passe 0 THE ARRIVAL or THE 63D FROM INDIA. --014 Wednesday evening the 2d, stb, and Sth companies o f the 63d regiment ( West Suffolk) arrived at Chathera, g above ship garrison from India.

MALTA, AUG. 4.—The Volcano was dispatched to ' Marseilles on the 24th, with the overland mail for England, brought on the same day by the Ariel from Alexandria, and the Erin went to Southampton very early on the following morning ; but the Ardent, with the mails from the lonian Islands and Patras (bringing the Lord Bishop of Gibraltar), did not arrive until late on the 25th, and her mails were con sequently too late for the homeward packets, much to the prejudice, at this season of the year, of the fruit merchants. The Barretto Junior, with a cargo of meal for Ireland, sailed for Cork on the 24th, and will be followed in a few days by the Austrian ship Amalia Guiseppina, chartered by the agent victualler, for a like cargo. The English screw-steamer Water Witch left for Alexandria on the 24th—the first of a new line from Liverpool. The Hecla arrived from Constantinople on the 27th. Just before her depar ture thence she rendered important service to the English barque May Queen, which had got ashore at Buyukdere, laden with a cargo of grain from Odessa bound to England, and indeed this vessel and cargo were saved entirely through the exertions of Commander Starmer, his officers, and ship's com pany, and under such circumstances theyare decidedly entitled to salvage. The Ottoman steamer Vassitelly Tidjar at arrived from Plymouth and Gibraltar on the 30th, after a splendid run of some hours short of ten days. She left again for Constantinople on the day following.

At Southampton, Indus, Pottinger, Achilles, Oriental, and Iberia ; and at Alexandria, the Ripon. The Ripon arrived from Southampton and Gibral tar on the 31st of July, a few hours before the Flamer, from Marseilles, with the overland London mails for India, with which the Ripon left for Alex andria on the Ist of August. The Egyptian corvette Genah Bahri sailed for England on the 30th of July, having on board a number of naval cadets. The Locust was despatched to the Piraeus of Athens on the Ist of August, and the Flamer to the lonian Islands and Patras on the 2d. The cutter yacht Sapphire, Mr. C. B. Blades, owner, touching the safety of which some fears were entertained, there having been no tidings of her arri val at Algiers for some length of time after her sailing from Tunis, arrived from this latter port, having her owner on board, on the 3d; on which day the French steam-frigate Pluton, Viscount De Kerourartz, ar rived from Naples, announcing that the Prince de Joinville with a part of bis squadron of line of battle ships was at Castellamare, whilst the Jupiter and another liner were at Tunis, dispatched thither from Palermo, under the usual summer rumour of the fear of an expedition against that Regency from Constan tinople, though it is notorious that the Ottoman fleet is not destined further westward than the shores of Albania, the blockade of which is officially announced. Within the past few days a rumour has circulated in Valletta, that a report had been made to the au thorities that three ships of war had been seen dodg ing about the back of Malta, and that a launch had been sent in by one of them to take soundings in Marsa Scirocco Bay. We have been at some pains to get at the truth of the story, and find that beyond doubt two or three large vessels had been observed cruising on and off the S.E. end of Malta (though not seen from the Palace Observatory), and that a large boat had entered and taken soundings of the bay of Marsa Scirocco ; but the report of the native officer on duty at the fort there does not appear to have reached the Palace through the roundabout channel in which it was sent, until too late for measures to be taken to ascertain further particulars, though the Wee Pet steam-tug (the only available vessel in port—a mere line of battle ship's launch, with a small engine) went out with Rear-Admiral Sir Lucius Curtis and the Governor's Aide-de-Camp on the 2d inst. to re connoitre.

FOREIGN COIN AND HARVEST• BRUSSELS, OM 12.—The average price of corn daring the week ending August 7 was—Wheat, 28f. 69c., and that of rye 15f- 990- being _a diminu tion in wheat of 6f. 74c., and in rye of lf. Very little is doing in the market, and the prices continue to fall both on wheat and rye. We continue to receive complaints daily of the great want of common honesty and fair dealing in regard to the fall in bread. Alt"ough its many parts of Germany and Flanders the prices are almost everywhere on the old level, yet the price in the fall of bread has not been in proportion. This is maintained by the bakers under the apparerrly plau sible plea that they cannot reduce the price till they shall have exhausted the stock of corn which they had :a hand when it became cheaper. It is a matter of surprise that the Government and respective local authorities do not interfere and put a stop to this abominable fraud—we can call it by no milder term—upon the poor. They are entitled now to have their bread at moderate prices, and they ought to have it. What can we say to such a declaration as this from the llamburgh market, for instance INotwithstanding the immense importations, the price of rye has again risen, become scarcely anything is brought to market—all is put into the storehouses. Is this as it should be ? Is there not an evident de sign on the part of the sellers to keep up the prices as long as they can ? for the same account goes on to ' state, although several vessels have come from Bre men freighted with corn, they all turned back because they found the prices of corn too low here. If the price of corn is low, why is bread so dear f and why are the people cheated in two ways—first, for having to pay high for their bread, and, secondly, by having that bread made up into loaves which certainly are far less than the usual size ? In making• these remarks, let us not, however, be supposed to speak of corn dealers and others engaged in the corn trade in general. There is nothing more unfair, or unmanly, than to attack men as a body, without giving them the advantage of individual defence ; and we know, as a fact, that immence harm has been done by these general accusations, so much so, that per sons, judging from the observations incautiously made on this head in the public journals, have considered them as infallible, and universally applicable, and have, not only been most abusive to dealers when they brought their produce to market, but we verily believe that many of the riots and incendiarisms hare arisen from the same incautious, though well-mean ing, remarks of the newspapers. He, who in these days writes for the public, should bear in mind that he is writing for all classes, and not for any particular class of persons.—lfamburgh Papers, August 10.

HOSIERY AND LACE TRADES There is at length a slight stir in the cut-up hose branch, after a three months' unprecedented stagna tion. The wrought cotton hose branch is yet in a better condition than the cut-up ; but in Leicester and Loughborough an opinion prevails in many quarters, that the common stocking frame will be superseded by Brunell's roundabout Flemish frame, and Thorburn's lever Dumfries frame, the latter of which has been adopted, in one instance, by a Notting ham hosier. The speed of production of this machine is more than double that of the stocking frame. The Flemish frame makes a round web without seam ; the Dumfries one an open web that requires seaming, and can, consequently, be narrowed and widened in the usual way. We understand that a considerable number of both the new principles of frames are now at work, but as yet they have not been fewer than 32-guage 2-needle. The drawer, pantaloon, and shirt branch, still maintains its condition % Old the frames are in geirral tolerablx well employe , though there are some exceptions. We do not hear of any improvement in the cotton glove trade, Bulwell and its vicinity being in a very di s t re s s ed c o ndition. The silk glove is in much the same condition that it has been in for several weeks past. The plain silk hose trade, we think, keeps slowly im proving. The hosiery and warp trade in London has met with a very great check, though it has been for some years , extending. Were silk stockings in fashion, this branch would be extensive in Spitalfields and its vicinity—that district once contained more than 1,600 stocking frames. There is certainly more doing in some quarters in the cotton bobbin net trade, both fancy and plain ; but, as usual, the manufac turers use every endeavour to keep this as silent as possible. From what we can learn, several machines are making Bertie's net, from a double warp, and great hopes are entertained that this will prove a sound article, that will bear th e was h-t u b. I n thi s opinion we coincide, if so, the troubles in the Not tingham lace trade will be ended, at least for some time to come. In addition to the Spanish order for lace machines, there are several German machine owners in the town giving orders for fine circular bolt machines, that is from 16 to 20-point. The latter quality cannot be made so fine upon the Leaver's principle, which makes Bertie's invention the more valuable, as he makes net from an 11-point Leaver machine equal in fineness to a 22-point made in the usual manner; and we believe the article cannot be made upon a double tier machine ; if so, foreigners will be once more distanced, as the greater part of their machines are constructed upon the double tier principle. The warp lace trade is a shade better; but we understand an attempt is made to reduce the wages, and several meetings of both masters and men have been held upon the subject.—Nottinehant Journal. PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAY.—Captain John Bowker, R.N. (1811), one of the retired captains of Green wich Hospital, died on Wednesday. The gallant deceased, we find, on reference to Allen's New Navy List, was midshipman at Toulon; second lieutenant of the Mars, 74, in Cornwallis's retreat, in which ship he greatly distinguished himself in her action with, and capture of, the French 74 Hercule, on which occasion he led the boarders (Captain Hood having been killed and the first lieutenant wounded), and by his gallantry and promptitude defeated a counter Byron's Statue, by Thorwalsden, about which so manoeuvre of the enemy.

Friday night G. A.Walker, Esq., surgeon, author of "Gatherings from Graveyards," &c., and well known for the zeal and ability with which he has advocated the abolition of intermural sepulture, delivered the fourth of a series of lectures on the actual condition of the metropolitan graveyards, and their injurious effects on public health and public morality. Mr. Walker said, that in the previous lectures he had ex plained the nature and action of morbific poisons • had shown the ma nner i n w hi c h th ese po i sons may be in troduced into the human body, and brought forward cases which incontestably proved the fact that the re spiration of putrid exhalations from dead bodies be fore burial, or from vaults and open graves, is highly injurious to the health of man and animals. He in tended next to prove that analogous effects are pro duced by the vapours which exhale from over-crowded burying-grounds. In this case the generation of morbific matter was more gradual, the poison less concentrated; and persons were seldom directly exposed to its influence for any considerable length of time, and the relation was there fore less evident or less easy to establish; . but he believed, when they weighed the evidence he would produce, that the audience would leave the theatre with the firm conviction that the saturated Brava, yards of this metropolis were centres of infection, producers of lingering disease or sudden death, and that such places should be at once and for ever re moved from amongst us.—(Cheers.) This was no mere assertion, but a matter capable of being proved by the most simple calculation. It required no logic to prove that it was impossible to lodge fifty indivi duals in a room ten feet square; and it was equally impossible to inter in a safe and decent manner 3,000 dead bodies in an acre of ground, which can only hold 136.—(Hear, hear.) To show that this was the tact, it was necessary to give some calculations which, though disgraceful and disgusting, were all important and for the correctness of which he pledged himself. An acre of ground contains 4,840 square yards, and %%ill decently inter about 1,361 adult bodies. Pre suming that the dead body was committed to the grave for the purpose of mingling with its parent earth, ten years must be allowed for this process, and hence the number of adult bodies that an acre of ground will annually receive is 136. From accurate returns of the superficial extent of the parochial and some other burial-grounds of the me tropolis, and the number of bodies annually interred in each, the following facts were deduced :—The annual average of interments in the seven descrip tions of burying places comprised in these returns, was stated to be 2,271. If this was divided by 7, it gave the average for each, which gave 324 burials annually to the acre—(Hear, and shame)—from which might be fairly abstracted the burial places of the Jews and the Society of Friends, which are well conducted. Deducting these two they had five species of grounds, which would give an annual ave rage of 426, instead of 136 each.—(Hear, hear ) In Germany the average was only 110, but here our graveyards were made to receive every year three times as many as they ought, and four times as many as were permitted by the laws of well-regulated con tinental states.—(Hear, hear.) The overcrowding of our grave-yards might be illustrated in another way. The annual mortality of Llndon was at least 50,000. Supposing the burials renewed every ten years, 444 acres would be required, whereas we have only 209.—(Hear, hear.) But that was not all, there were 182 parochial graveyards in London, of these only 48 were confined to the proper limit of 136 to the acre; the rest exhibited various degrees of saturation, from 200 up to 3,000 annually. In St. Andrew's Undershaft the average per acre was Portugal- street Burying-ground ... St. Dunstan's, Fleet-street St. Dunstan's in-the-East ...

It was humiliating to think that a parish ground—St. John's, Clerken well—stood at the head of these unchristian nui sances—pestiferous in every respect, because, when a proportion of 3,073 were annually interred on an acre of land, it followed that the bodies could only ramain in the ground five months instead of ten years.—(Hear.) Hence the stacking of coffins in deep pits, the brutal dismemberment of bodies, the consumption of coffin wood in many localities, the danger to mourners from attending such places, the insidious infection which, especially in the warm season, poison the atmosphere, and, by undermin ing the health, hurried thousands to an un timely end, again to become the subjects of fresh in dignities, the centre of infection to survivors, and the distributors of pestilential emanations.—(Hear, hear.) In support of these general propositions, the lecturer proceeded to adduce a vast number of deeply important and most interesting specific evidence, tracing malignant typhus fever in many instances to the poisonous exhalations from dead bodies in various places ; and also numerous cases of measles and scarlet fever in children, arising from the same cause. From these instances we quote one :—Mr. J. Irwin, residing at No. 32, Clement's-lane, which overlooked the burial-ground in Portugal-street, had enjoyed good health with his family until lar.: came to reside in that neighbourhood. They have never en joyed health since. The wife of one of his lodgers, in comfortable circumstances, was attacked by typhus fever in the house, and removed to the hos pital. The husband, who went to visit her, fell ill of the same disease, and died in four days. Two other lodgers also had fever. The husband died, and was removed to the graveyard from which he met his death. Dr. Walker at this period attended Mr. Irwin, who was fast merging into that low form of fever of which this locality has furnished so many examples. On looking into the " green ground" through the wind ow o f M r . I rw i n 's room, Dr. Walker noticed a grave open within a few feet of the house. The sick man replied to his observations, " Ah, that grave is just made for a poor fellow who died in this house in the room above me, he died from typhus fever, from which his wife has just recovered. They have kept him twelve days, and now they are going to put him under my nose by way of warning to me."—(Hear, hear.) Fortunately Mr. Irwin re covered, and has since laboured earnestly for the abolition of this monster nuisance. But it was not alone in the crowded graveyards of London that the pestiferous and deadly nature of this poison exhaled from the graves of the dead were exhibited. The lecturer showed by reference to two recent outbreaks of fever at Minchinhampton and Axminster, most remarkable illustrations of the intimate connexion which exists between graveyard emanations and the development of pestilential fever. After detailing the facts connected with these outbreaks, Dr, Walker pro ceeded to adduce copious evidence of the same fact from Sinde, Chusan, Jamaica, and Egypt, all of which led to the irresistible conclusion that intramural se pultureenooutirc was in all cases a n u nm iti ga t e d ev il , an d ought course to fo ft b h e teh b eu a sneli lecture li ctt e ou d rwe a h t ipc o hr n . c t e lva a at n l d kneo f rt o o r r ever. oalludedus ln to o theth nuisance,e Enon Chapel, is now applied, and stated that frequent applicatio ns b a d been made to Sir J.

CAUTION TO LICENSED VICTUALLEns.—DAAINdi ButtGLART.—A peculiarly daring and coolly executed burglary was perpetrated yesterday (Sunday) morning, on the premises occupied by Mr. George Walter, Blue Posts, Shoe-lane. About four o'clock, A.m., the police man found the front door of the house open, and at once alarmed the inmates by ringing the bell. An in spection of the place was immeeiately entered on, and it was discovered that one, or more probably, two persons, had broken in and robbed the house. From appearances it is concluded that one of the burglars had secreted him self, on the previous night, on the roof of a long room at the back of Mr. Walter a house. Thence he mast have broken through the skylight into the parlour, made his way into the passage, and forced the lock of the passage door with a "jemmy," and then got into the bar party lour, having first, it is supposed, admitted a com panion. There possession was taken of some silver spoons, and various other articles found about the room. In the bar, the parties, with remarkable coolness and deliberation regaled themselves with lemon ade, brandy, and other good things that usually abound therein. They likewise took away with them some albs. of cigars and a large number of farthings—fortu nately the only money left in the tills. It is a curious. circumstance, however, that they overlooked a consider able sum of money placed the previous night in a wooden bowl, and over which some papers had been carelessly laid. This bowl was close to where the spoons bad been deposited. The value of the things carried off is about la The police are on the alert to discover the culprits; but no clue has, at present, been obtained.

FOOT RACE ExTEAORDINAET. --- 0 11 Thursday, the sth instant, at the quiet village of Wysall, a somewhat remarkable foot race took place—remarkable, not for the distance run, nor for the speed of the runners, but for the fact that each of them has been running a race with old Time for more than ninety years, one having ex ceeded his great climacteric twenty-eight, the other thirty-three years. The distance was forty yards. The competitors were Wotton Bryans, sen., aged ninety-six, and Mr. John Hogg, aged ninety-one, the latter winning by just a yard; which so nettled, or rather mettled, his rival, that he challenged him to jump for a-guines.
