The accounts showed that 13,4871. had been received, and 9,9541. expended, leaving a balance of 3.5331. The CHAIRMAN then moved, and Mr. W. CLaxTost seconded the adoption of the report. • Mr RUMSEY said, it appeared to him, from what he had both heard and seen, that it would be advisable to abandon the line altogether; as he thought there were very few prospects of its success for the share holders. He would, therefore, move that the under taking be abandoned, or, as he must technically ex press it, that the report be not adopted. Mr. FURZE seconded the amendment. Aft* r , oame conversation the amendment was put and lost, only one hand being held up for it. The orig. - in.:l motion was then carried unanimously. A. vote of thanks was passed to the directors, and the meeting separa,ed. •"'"-',------''''---- Dedicated by permission to her Majesty. NOW READY, LIVES OF THE QUEENS. VOL. X. By AGNES STRICKLAND.

AUGUST 31, 1847. The intelligence just received by the Overland Mail, from Bombay, consists, for the most part, of a iccEssion of cruelties and brutalities perpetrated by Asiatic barbarians. What is wanting in politica importance is made up in individual atrocities. In the Punjaub, for example, the diabolical conspiracy - which has been so long and so repeatedly spoken of, was being unravelled ; and although most of the pre ceding conjectures appear to have been gross exagge rations, the chief conspirator PREMA has revealed many facts of a diabolical character, in which even the RANEE is said to have been implicated. At Caubul it would seem that a sanguinary encounter had taken place between the Caubulees and the Kuz zilbashes ; and the ground seems to have been plen tifully fattened by the blood shed in their dissen sions. At Sinde a party of Thugs—stranglers and poisoners by profession—had been incarcerated. At Nepaul, the old Raja had been deposed by JUNG Baiianooa, in consequence of an intercepted letter from his Highness to KATMANDOO, accusing the Minister of continual and systematic depravities. At Oude the Sovereign was relapsing into a brutish: in dulgence of his appetites; his Minister, the Wuzeer, was reviving from the attempt at assassination ; while the cut-throats, who endeavoured to effect his de struction, continued in a state of lingering torment for the expiation of their brutalities. At Goomsoor the disturbances were increasing instead of abating, and the prospects of slaughter were being realised. CHURRA BISSAYE, after cajoling Colonel CAMPBELL, had assailed the Sebundie post near P osera, and obliged the inhabitants to demand the immediate aid of rei n f o rcements. In the do minions of the NIZAM the pecuniary dif ficulties are rendered a matter of secondary consideration by the recurrence of deeds of a more terrible and threatening nature. According to the last information received from those territories, the lohillas had mustered in considerable numbers, and eturning towards the city, had encamped some three miles from the cantonment. Here they were for mally visited by HUSSUN-00D-DEEN Kuala, who was Main suddc,i and terrific melee. TORA BAz KHAN, relative of the principal assailant of this personage, and a jemadar of the Rohillas, had been, in conse• quence of this outbreak, nearly bludgeoned into the other world, while his followers continued in a state of sullen excitement the exacerbation, as it may be termed, of the epidemic of sedition. Bey and these revolting occurrences, there is a de tailed account, in the dispatches which have arrived from Bombay, of a trial before Sir ERSKINE PERRY, of a mm named BOOLOOK SARAWUN, for the wilful murder of his sister-in-law. • The . circumstances . of this crime are of a nature so . superhuman bT guilt, as to cast the deeds committed AWELL, GOOD, and GREENacan into the shade by comparison. proceedings Such is a rapid summary of y th'f narrated in the information receeiviendarousour Oriental possessions and dependencies. The abs r e o n m ce of anything the consolidation. of any remarkable kind in regard to of our Indian Government, or to the the adjoinin; principalities, is more tPbaacnificatum of sated, as far as interest is concerned, by these atrocious revelations. Appalling as are the vices and butcheries is 1 which pollute the lands of civilization, frequent a they are when contrasted with the blessings which might be anticipated from the diffusion of know ledge and the enforcement of religious principles, they are as nothing when compared with the whole sale enormities by which the magnificent territories of Asia are profaned and that atmosphere of guilt is roeluced whi c h it s p o p u l a tion is ever respiring. ese reflections should only enhance the exulta tion cif every we ll- % i s h er o f the human family at the remembrance of our footing upon the eastern continent. They should inspire us with .se.n fitrsents of satisfacti on f rom the reflection that mall :cation and Christianity must march onwards from Ilindoostan, and ultimately produceiol an emollient and humanizing influeace u p on the idolatrous races of the more remote countries of the iap glob e. cunFiaorrythaetsel rons, as well as from moti ves o f a the superb : carame i -cial character, it is that we have c ont i nually enforced the necessity of the retention o f province conquered by the prowess and guard(i b y vigilant sagacity of its Governor, Sir CH ARLES NAPIER. 1N ow that the solicitude to allow Sinde to pass fro: la our authoi it.y, if not from our protection, TUE St Y N, seems to be disappearing, it becomes a question of peculiar interest to consider the most rational as well as the most economical means of turning the resources of that country to our advan tage. Above all, the nefarious achievements of such men as DOONGUR SINGH must be prevented, other wise the impunity with which he gallopped away with the Government treasure of 27,000 rupees at Nusseerabad may encourage him to attempt the pe riodical seizure of our local revenues. That those revenues must accumulate and multiply with an ordi• nary amount of prudence and precaution is certain from the signs of their advancement, even under the present arrangement. The statistics furnished in the Indian newspapers of the increase that has taken place both in the exports and imports of Sinde since its first occupation, show the advisability of some more sagacious course being adopted by the Anglo-Indian Government whereby the policy of Sir CHARLES NAPIER may be carried into operation and the original intention of his Ex cellency be fully realised. The clouds are clearing away from the horizon of Sinde, and time will shortly testify that Sir CHARLES NAPIER has not merely added a brilliant chapter to our military records, but that he has opened a new and extraordinary channel for our commercial enterprise, besides affording a wider sphere for the dissemination of the advantages of civilisation, and of the infinite blessings of Chris tianity. It is gratifying to notice the progress and favour able prospects of well-selected railway lines in Ire land, from which the shareholders may fairly hope for a handsome and remunerating dividend on the amount of capital invested, and which will accelerate the social and commercial intercourse not only in the different parts of that country, but also with Eug• land, will provide the farmer with a ready market for his produce, and thus tend to improvements in agricultural science and a better cultivation of the soil—results that have ever followed the increased traffic and facilities afforded by railway accommoda- tion, and will, in every respect, further the develop ment of the industrial resources of the nation. How. ever desirable the construction of railways in that - - - country may be, great mischief would be occasioned by the indiscriminate support of every description of projects, of those which might be brought forward, not on account of the existing wants of the people, or for the purpose of permanent investment of capital, but in order that the shares might be sold at a premium on the Stock Exchange, and their promoters enabled to realise large profits without waiting for the legitimate returns of trek. Ireland is as yet comparatively neglected as to rail people to demand a change of Ministry, and the en rolment of a corps of volunteers to march to the relief of Ferrara. A review of the 4th battalion of the National Guard of Rome took place on the l6th of August at the Villa Borghese ; cries of " Long live Pius 1X.," " Long live Prince BORGHESE," were raised by the troops. The highest of the Roman nobility were present on the occasion, and fraternised with the citizens. Letters from Bologna of the 21st say :—" The Papal Government is resolved to resist the Austrian invasion, and to oppo=e force by force. The troops are concentrating, and some are already in march for the frontier. Two companies of Swiss and artillery have already left this for Ferrara. They were loudly cheered by the people as they left, and saluted with cries of " Live Pius IX." A corps of Swiss is also marching from Romagna for Ferrara. The aversion of the people to the Swiss troops has greatly diminished sis-.ce these soldiers sent an address to the authorities offering to march against the Austrians. The number of Austrian troops in Ferrara has diminished, the greater portion of them having retired into the citadel. Nevertheless, reinforcements of the Imperial troops are constantly arriving in "'adult and the other cities on the left bank of the Po. The greatest enthusiasm prevails throughout the country—the peasants are coming forward to be inscribed in the civic guards, and ask to be led against the Austrians. The retro grade party, whose stronghold is at Modena, are at their wits ends. They are endeavouring to organize a system of brigandage, and dispatch their emissaries with arms and ammunition to commit crimes throughout the country. The brigands have set fire to five farms of the Marquis of COSTABILL a nobleman who is noted for his attachment to Pius IX., and to the cause of progress, and on whose property is estab lished the head-quarters of the National Guard of Ferrara. ways, and great trunk lines remain to be constructed which must yield a handsome profit to the proprietors. It is morally certain that such lints will be formed in due time, and that we shall eventually see the sister kingdom covered with an iron network spreading through every part of the land, and proportioned to the increase of prosperity and civilization, which we doubt not a few years will bring forth. It will be in the recollection of our readers, that Government during the past session, while they wisely refused their sanction to the wild scheme of (he Protectionist leader, by which 16,000,0001. ster ling was to be advanced to Irish railways, in the pro portion of two pounds fur every one provided by the shareholders, yet decided on placing an additional sum at the disposal of the Exchequer Bill Loan Commissioners for the purpose of being advanced to three companies, who had afforded evidence of the soundness of their undertakings, of the sufficiency of the security they were enabled to offer for the re payment of the several loans, and of the national benefits that would accrue from the speedy comple tion thereof. Such fostering aid had the moat fa vourable effect ; the greatest activity was displayed by the directors and managers to show themselves worthy of the favours thus accorded, and the works have been proceeded with steadily and efficiently. The Great Southern and Western Railway of Ire land received, or are to receive, by far the greater portion of that advance. It would be difficult to enumerate the many advantages of this magnificent project. When perfected, it will be par excellence the great trunk line of Ireland, connecting the two chief cities—Dublin and Cork; it will form the chief channel of communication between the capital and the southern provinces. The rich and abundant pro ducts of the several counties can, by its means, be readily conveyed to the metropolis, and they may in return receive the various articles of merchandise im ported from other climes ; in fact, what the London and North-Western Railway is in this country the Great Southern and Western will be in Ireland. The Irish Government have duly appreciated its Madrid journals of the 24th instant have arrived. The arrival of NARVAEZ is the all -absorbing topic of comment in all of them. He is looked upon by the generality of Spaniards as the apostle of treason, anarchy, and bloodshed. In the meantime the Carlist movement is daily increasing in strength in Catalonia, and in Arragon and Saragossa a Carlist rising is hourly expected. MADRID BOLSA, AUG. 24.—The Three per Cents. were dune in Madrid, on the 24th, at 271 for cash, and the Coupons, at 15; and the Five per Cents. at 17i for paper; and the Debt without Interest at 511. We have received the Paris papers of Sunday. The physicians who examined the body of the Duke of PRASLIN have reported that he died from poisoning by arsenic, and that as arsenic was found in the liver, it must have been taken some time befbre death ; they are of (pinion that there were not two administrations of poison, and that the apparent con valescence of the Duke of PRAsLIN ()It the Saturday and Sunday was " nothing but an aggravation of the phenomena of reaction of which the apparition may have simulated a favourable crisis" (dont l'apparition acait pu sirnuler une crise favorable). The report seems drawn up altogether in accordance with the Talleyrand theory of language, which lays it down as an axiom that words were given to man to enable him to disguise his thoughts. The Itfoniteur Parisien states officially that the Attorney-General has received from M. WARNERRY certain charges of corruption against officers con nected with the administration of affairs in Algeria, and had ordered a judicial investigation into the truth of those charges to be commenced. The trial of Messrs. GOBELEY and BEERIER the younger, charged with having embezzled large quan tities of corn from the Government stores, took place on Saturday, and terminated in the acquittal of the accused. The price of flour in the Paris market continues to decline. Count ANATOLE DB MONTESQUIEU, a chevalier dhonneur of the QUEEN, a Peer of France, and ex aide-de-camp ,to NAPOLEON, committed suicide at Paris on Sunday. No reasons are give❑ for this rash act. importance and the excellence of its management, and in addition to the valuable assistance rendered by the advance of half a million sterling, his Excel lency the Lord-Lieutenant paid its directors the high compliment of inspecting the progress of the works, and accepting their hospitality. On Friday the Earl of CLARENDON, accompanied by the Chief Secretary for Ireland and a distinguished party, went over the portion of the line now opened to the public, the traffic on which is already very considerable, affording an ample security Tor the Government loan. The impressions created by that journey may be . con ceived from what subsequently fell from that en lightened nobleman, when expressing his delight at " bving passed through a beautiful country, teem ing with the products of the earth, and upon a line of railway that reflected credit on the energy and en terprise of the company." He stated "that at home or abroad he had never seen so beautiful a line of railway—one which exhibited in its construction so rare a combination of science and art." This feeling was participated in by all, and the Chief Secretary added that he only expressed the opinions of every gentle man who had accompanied his Excellency, in saying that the Great Southern and Western Railway, fur safety and good management, was not surpassed by any other line in existence. Compliments such as these, proceeding from such influential sources, must. iudeed be satisfactory not only to the directors, but to every person in any degree interested in the undertaking. They also prove how judiciously the Ministry acted in rendering such effectual as sistance --assistance which must materially hasten the period when the public will reap all the benefits of the gigantic undertaking, and that without a particle of loss or risk to the Exchequer, the rate of per tentage secured by the company, five per cent. per i annum, being nearly one-third more than the actual interest payable on that sum by the nation. The progress of the other lines assisted by the Government are equally satisfactory. The Waterford and Limerick Railway, which communicates between two of the principal ports on the east and west of the island, has afforded a considerable quantity of employment to the la bourers in the several districts traversed by it. In one locality alone there are 800 men employed—the labourers, who usually earn Bd. or ICd. a day, receiving ls. 6d., while masons, stone-cutters, and others are proportionately paid. There is now 356,600/. ster ling paid up, and on the arrears (amounting to less than 20,0001.) being satisfied, the company will be in a position to borrow, if necessary or desirable, a quarter of a million sterling. The Dublin and Drogheda, which runs from the metropolis northward, and which forms the chief link in the great northern chain, had, notwithstanding the g enera l di stress and commercial depress i on exist ing inlreland e d f revenue on the half-year ending the earlier part of this his year, an increase 30th of J une i n the present year, over the cor responding pe r i o d of 84sufficientrecd security repaid the Ex chequer-bill 1846, from passengers, of 704/. le, lOd., and on goods and f p a s ssen g p e o r r s t , i o n f ofl,o their9o /.

As compared with the previous year, there is an enor mous increase both in toe number and amount of the faiiures. In the previous year the number of the failures was 931, and the amount 48,342,529 francs. The Gazette des Tribunaux positively contradicts A letter from Leghorn, ot the 23d of August, states that on the 22d an outbreak hail taken pl,ce in that city in consequence of the occupation of Ferrara by the Austrians. On that da y the inhabi tants of Leg. horn assembled in the great square of the city, an d loudly demanded the formation of a national guard. The people, after hearing an address from the Go vernor, were dispersing quietly when they were charged by the Carbineers—a conflict ensued, in which the Carbineers were routed and disarmed. The excitement in consequence became very great, and placards were posted on the walls, urging - the the statements which have been made that M. DE BEAUVALLON had been ordered for trial before the Court of Assizes for perjury, and that he had ap pealed to the Court of Caseation against the decision of the Chambre de Mises en Accusation.

The scene presented was of the most fearful nature, and none but those who had before witnessed sucha spectacle of ruin could for a mo ment have imagined the force and power of that mighty agent—steam. As to the causes which may have led to the fatal explosion, we, of course, will not pronounce an opinion. Competent persons will be appointed by the authorities, who will, as their duty to the public, to the company, and to Mr. Joyce, the builder and patentee of the engines, require, carefully examine, and investigate inost fully, all the circumstances con nected with this most disastrous affair. The first sight which presents itself to the spectator is that of a fearful rent in the vessel from the engine-room to the stern. The whole of the flooring of the deck has been blown up, and the lining of the right side of the after cabin completely removed, leaving exposed the bare iron shell of the vessel. On the left side of the same cabin some portion of the lining yet remains ; but in the bilge of the vessel, and near to the paddles, the whole of the lining is gone, and the shell of the vessel broken and torn in almost every direction. The flooring of the cabin is also swept clean.ont, while an immense opening in the stern shows the spot through which the boiler itself was blown, the boiler in its progress appearing to have swept the floors, the lining, rudder, and everything before it. the whole of the case of the boiler is blown off, leav ing all the tubes exposed to sight ; but there does not appear to be any fracture in any of them, so far at least as we were able to see. The funnel, the smok e box, and the case of the boiler, lie beside the wreck of the ill-fated vessel. The safety-valve and the steam-gauges seem to have been entirely blown away. Neither of the paddle-wheels seem to have sustained any injury : the outer side of the left paddle-box seems to have sustained a somewhat severe shock. A portion of the massive iron frame work to which the engine is attached is twisted in a most extraordinary manner. The thickness of the metal in that part cannot be less than four inches; but it appears to have been capable of affording no more resistance to the terrific power than did some of the common deal timbers with which it was surrounded. The massive cranks, with the pistons and cylinders, seem to bet he only portions of the machinery which were suiE - ciently strong to endure the shock, but the Vet crank is slightly bent. There is no doubt that this more solid part of the machine ry tended, in some degree, to ensure the fore part of t be vessel from that total destruction which has befall en the remaining portions. The boiler which explod ed was the left boiler ai the vessel now lies, but ti course it appeared to have taken was an oblique on e, as the right si,le of the cabin, through which it passe (1 1 13 considerably more injured than the opposite. TI opening made at the stern of the vessel appears to liae• islßo on the right side of the rudder. The whelks Hour of the engine• room is literally covered with fragments of the broken parts and the smaller audi more delicate parts of the machinery. The jury re mained on the spot for about half an hour, during hich time every facility was afforded by the servants if.f the company to enable them to view the various patine of the wreck. %, ILMNDON, EVENIN G, AUGUST 31, 1847. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. / CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 4,000 bales, but entirely for the wants of consumption. Prices were without alteration, although the accounts from Mancheste r were considered to be more favourable Shares improved again, and there appeared to be a gra dual restoration of confidence. There are ship arrivals to-day from several parts, but no news of general interest appears to be contained in the aclvices brought to hand. The election far Governor of the Bank of England, in the place of W. IL Robinson, Esq., disqualified, is now proceeding, and to doubt James Morris, Esq., of the rich firm of Morris, Prevo, and Co., will be placed in this hcnourable post. We cannot lean, that, up to the hour of our writing, any decision has been come to by Messrs. Overend, Gurney, and Co., upon the important subject of the ac ceptance of Messrs. Prime Ward and Co.'s bills, but it is expected that it will be settled yea or nay some time this afternoon. Probably, as the matter is of some in terest, we may be enabled to give the result for our country edition. The accounts received to-day from the East Indies do not notice so much activity as usual at this season of the year in British textile fabrics, but money was rather more easy, and the accounts from Europe bad chiefly operated in producing dulness rather than convulsion or excitement. The English Funds have been high again this morning, Consols having touched 874 4 for present transfer, and 884 4 for account. At the present time the rates are scarcely so good. The New Three. and-a Quarter per Cents. have been 89/ to 4. Bank Stock is worth 195 to 197. Exchequer-bills have been 2s. to 6s. prem. The Foreign Securities have been steady generally. Spanish Bonds are rather better. The Five per Cents. have realised 191 to 201, and the Three per Cents. 30 to 4. Portuguese Four per Cents. have been quoted 25. Mexican Stock is worth 181 to 194. Grenada Bonds have been at 19. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are at SG. There is not much doing in railway shares, but the market looks firm upon the settlement in progress. This is account-day also in the Foreign Stock Market, where, however, the speculation recently entered into has been very limited. CLOSING 197 87% 87 1 / 2 89 1 A 91/8 Manchest. & Southampt. 2%......

(Before Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE.) IN RE PRICE. This was a meeting for the last examination of this bankrupt, described as of the Belle Sauvage, Ludgate hill, hotel• keeper. An application was made for an adjournment, as no balance-sheet had been filed, and it was avowed that the object of the adjournment was to obtain a supersedeas, if the creditors would consent. A composition had been offered, and it was said that most of the creditors had signed the consent. His HONOUR said that all the creditors might not agree, and no bankrupt had a right to suspend making out a balance sheet in order to supersede the fiat, or to force an adjournment. An adjournment was granted for three weeks, on the understanding that if the balance-sheet was not then filed the examination would be adjourned sine die, so that the bankrupt should come up at his own expense. BANK OFENGLAND.-(THIS DAY.) ELECTION OF GOVERNOR. A general court of the proprietors of the Bank of England was this day held in the board room, for the purpose of proceeding to the election of a Governor of the Bank, in the room of Mr. Robinson, who was disqualified from continuing in office under the regu lations which govern that coroporation. Precisely at eleven o'clock the doors of the board room were opened, and the secretary proceeded, with the usual forms on such occasions, to read the adver tisement for calling together the court. The " glasses" were then ordered to be uncovered for the purpose of proceeding to the ballot, which will continue open till four o'clock this afternoon, when the result will be known. We shall give the result of the election in our Third Edition. WATERFORD, WEXFORD, WICK LOW, AND DLBLIN RAILWAY.-CrHIS DAY. The half-yearly ordinary meeting of the proprie tors of this company was held to-day, at their office., 449, West Strand ; Si,• Thomas Esmonde, Bart., in the chair. The SECRETARY read the report, which stated that the directors had pursued that course with respect to the construction of the line which they proposed at the last half•yearly ordinary meeting, namely, the extension of the line to Wicklow from the junction with the Dublin and Kingstown Railway, as well as from the junction with the Irish South-Eastern Railway at Scurawalsh•bridge to Wexford-bay, and to the intermediate space thence to Wicklow, which would complete the direct communication between Dublin and Wexford and between Dublin and London, via the South %Vales and Great Western Railways. Under the powers conferred upon the company last session, the directors com menced the undertaking between Kingston and Wicklow, and about a mile of land had been pre sented to the company by the Earl of Meath. From the financial statement it appeared that the receipts up to the 30th of June last ware 122,5431. 65., while the expenditure up to the same period amounted to 48,6711. Is. 3d., leaving a balance in hand of 73,8721. 4s. 9d. _ _ _ _ . The CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of the report, and assured the meeting that the directors had been actuated by a desire to conform to the circumstances of the country through which theix railway was to pass. After some discussion the resolution was carried unanimously. Thanks were then voted to the directors, after which the meeting separated. JENNY LIND AND THE BOSJESMANS.—These sin gular specimens of the decreasing race of Pigmies of South Africa are on the eve of departure to their wild and remote desert, previous, however, to which it is in tended they shall pay Liverpool a visit. Last week, amongst the distinguished persons who left their auto graphs at the Hall, were Jenny Lind and Madame Grisi, both of whom were, by a singular coincidence, at the same time listening to the unmusical yet good-humoured voices of these " children of the desert." " The force of contrast could no farther go." These interesting savages are still at the Egyptian Hall in the day, and at the Strand Theatre in the evening. THE LATE VIOLENT ATTACK BY A LUNATIC. — We are glad to learn that the two aged paupers, Samuel Gibson and Thomas Cooper, who were last week so severely injured by the attack of Robinson, the lunatic, in Holbeck Workhouse, are going on very favourably, and their recovery may be expected in a short time.— Leeds Mercury. Sir John and Lady Strachan arrived at Blackwall on Saturday afternoon, by the General Steam Naviga tion Company's steam-ship Sir Edward Banks, from o,tend. ENCOURAGEMENT TO THE BLUE DAHLIA SEEKERS —A singular phenomenon, says a French paper, has snown iteelt in a greenhouse at Lyons. At the time when all the growers et camellias, roses, dahlias, &c., are puzzling themselves to get the blue colour, the ouly shade which nature has retueed to these kinds of plants, chance has thrown a shade azure blue upon the petals of flowers proluecd by one single branch of a camellia root of the species imbricala rubra. This plant belongs to \l. Dagene. The interior petals of the flowers are of a delicate red, the superior are while, and both are united with blue. The flower thus unites three addi tional colours —Mechanics' Magazine. AN Ica MOUNTAIN.—De timet, an English mis• sionary, in writing to the Freeman's Journal from Oregon, says:—" Not far from the place of our encamp ment we found a new object of surprise and admiration. An immense mountain of pure ice, 1,500 feet high, in closed between two enormous rocks. So great is the transparency of this beautiful ice, that we can easily dis tinguteh objects in it to the depth of more than six feet. One would say by its appearance, that in some sudden end extraordinary swell of the river, immense icebergs had been forced between these rocks, and had piled themselves on one another, so as to form this magnifi cent glacier. From the base of this gigantic iceberg the river Trou takes its rise."—Mechanics Magazine. How TO FILL BOXES AND PIT. Wemyss, A famous theatrical manager in Philadelphia, has quitted the business, and opened in stead a large store for the sale of patent medicines. A friend drily remarked that he would no doubt be successful in filling both boxes and pit.—New York Sun. MARRIAGE NOTICES. A western (American) paper gives the following notice :—All notices of mar riages, where no bride-cake is sent, will be set up in small type and poked into some outlandish corner of the paper. Where a handsome piece of cake is sent, it will be put conspicuously in large letters ; when gloves or other bride favours are added, a piece of illustrative poetry will be given in addition. When, however, the editor attends the ceremony in propria persona ' and kisses the bride, it will have special notice—very large type and the most appropriate poetry that can be begged, borrowed, stolen, or coined from the brain editorial. JENNY LlND.—This pre-eminent vocalist is an nounced to sing for one night, viz., on the 14th Septem ber, in the City Hall of Perth. The hall is said to be capable of containing an audience of two thousand. — Edinburgh Witness. DRAMATIC Rumouns.—Among other dramatic ru mours current in our own metropolis, we hear of a tra gedy by Mr. Marston, of which report speaks in the highest terms ; and a'five-act play by Mr. White, the author of T he King of the Commons, about to be produced at Sadler's Wells.—Atheneum. On dit, that the charming actress, Mrs. Nisbett, will be led for the third time to the hymeneal altar by a young Scotch Baronet. The weather has been " all hot" in America. The Albany Knickerbocker say s, " We saw a woman v d h oher e came ironing ew w ay i th sh n e o w o a t s h e h r an fu g e i l n t g h h a e n r the t s l u e n o s u h t in oef the windcw . to get her tea ready." ACCIDENT TO LORD IVORY.--AS Lord Ivory and a party of friends were r eturnin g on Saturda y lust in a car from shooting on the moor of Fasnacloich, at the head of Loch Crevan, the vehicle struck against a stone and was upset. All the party were more or less injured, and his Lordship, we regret to say, had his left arm broken. Medical assistance was obtained, and his to ()ken limb having been - set, the Learned Lord is in a fair way of recovery.— Edinburgh Post.

CAVES OF FAILURE IN BUSINESS.—A late writer en umertaei the following causes of fiiiiuee among business men.: —l. The leading cause is an ambition to be rich— by grasping too much it defeats iteelt. 2 Another cause is aversion to tabeur. 3. The third cause is an impatient desire to enjoy the luxuries of life before the right to them has been acquired in any way. 4. Anuther cause arises from the want of some deeper prin ciples for distinguiehing b -tween right and wrong, then a reference to what is established as honourable in the iiciety iu which one happens to live.
