DR. W. EVANS' AMERICAN HERB PILLS. THE very rapid sale of this invaluable Medi c in e , s i nce its recent introduction here, more than realises the most sanguine anticipations of its Proprietor. No better proof of the great virtues of the American Herb Pills could be given, than this ready appreciation on the part of the afflicted.— Never since Medicine became a science was there a happier discovery than that of the composition of this invaluable Remedy. DR. W. EVANS having proved, by the most thoroughly extended individual and collective experience, tlot these Pills are firmly based on the immutable laws of Nature, deems it an imperative duty to bring them before the Public. The great principles on which this IVVOicine is established, are to supersede the indiscriminate usiof the Lancet, and of those violent and dangerous minerals which have caused such great mortality, and to prevent the frequent recourse to the many deleterious purgatives compounded and put forth by ignorant pretenders. THE AMERICAN HERB PILLS, having stood the test of the most thoroughly extended experience, are confidently re commended as decidedly superior to any combination of Medicine ever offered to the public. These Fills are a mild Aperient, perfectly safe, certain, and pleasant in their operation, and being wholly composed of HERBS that harmonise admirably with the human constitu tion, they are perfectly salutary under any circumstances. In all cases in which functional derangements of the Liver, the Stomach and Bowels are involved, and also in all Impu rities of the Blood, this Medicine possesses curative powers of surpassing efficacy ; Costiveness, Dyspepsia and Bilious Complaints, so frequently aggravated by other Medicines, are easily cured by a judicious administration of this. A pioper perseverance in the use of these invaluable Pills will effectually relieve the distressed victims of Gout and Rheu matism, break up the tendency to a recurrence of the malady and establish the health of the patient. These Pills are also highly efficacious in all cases of Lowness of Spirits, Nervous Irritability and Weakness, Loss of Appetite, Flatulency, Heartburn, General Debility, Hysteria, Head-ache, Asthma, and Spasmodic Affections. One of the most dangerous epochs to Females is at the change of life ; they then require a remedy that will invigo rate and equalise the circulation, so that they may withstand the shock. That Medicine is Dr. Evans' American Herb Pills. Those who have the care and education of Females should never be without them. The HERBS of which they are composed exert a specific action upon the Heart and arterial system, quickening and equalising the circulation through all the vessels, whether of the skin, the parts situated internally, or the extremities: and as the secretions of the body are drawn from the blood, there is a consequent in crease of every secretion and a quickened action of the ab sorbent and exhalent or discharging vessels. Any morbid action that may have taken place is corrected, and all obstruc tions removed, the blood is purified, and the body resumes a healthful state. Perseverance in the use of these Pills will undoubtedly effect a cure in all cases that have been found discouragingly obstinate. The greai number of persons afflicted with Dyspepsia, Liver or Bilious Complaints, are to be found among care worn speculators, stock-brokers, and ardent students; or among those whose nervous system has, by injudicious edu cation, been too greatly developed and rendered morbidly excitable. There can be no doubt that sedentary habits con cur with mental excitement in producing the se comp l a i n t s . Lowness of spirits is a certain state of mind, accompanied by indigestion, wherein the greatest evils are apprehended upon the slightest grounds, and the wor s t consequences imagined. Ancient medical writers supposed this disease to be confined to those particular regions of the abdomen, tech nically called hypochondria, which are situated on the right or left side of that cavity, whence comes the name hypochon driasis. The common corporeal symptoms are, flatulency in the stomach or bowels, acrid eructations, costiveness, spasmodic pains, giddiness, dimness of sight, palpitations, and often an utter inability of fixing the attention upon any subject of importance, or engaging in any thing that demands vigour or courage. Also languidness—the mind becames irritable, thoughtful, desponding, melancholy, and dejected, accom panied with a total derangement of the nervous system. The mental feelings and peculiar train of ideas that haunt the imagination and overwhelm the judgment, exhibit an infinite diversity. The wisest and best of men are a.s open to this affliction as the weakest. An habitual moderate use of the American Herb Pills, in conjunction with moderat e exerc i se an d re l axat i on, will ef fectually accomplish a cure. The virtues of these Pills are peculiarly such that they may be taken without occasioning sickness, nausea, or any of those disagreeable sensations at tending the operation of other medicines.

COLnEST OF ALL CLIMATES.—The earth has no spot upon its surface, either habitual or otherwise, which is so cold as Yakutsk, a paltry, yet principal town of Eastern Siberia, where a ftw wo')den houses are intermixed with nu merous huts, plastered over with cow-dung, and windowed with ice. In this dreary and remote region the earth is always frozen, the summer's thaw never reached three feet from the surface, the subterranean ice having a computed depth of 200 yards. In January the thermometer has been known to sink 18 deg. below the bitterest cold experienced by Ross during his last expedition, and yet the inhabitants, favoured by a warm though short summer, reap both wheat and barley, and cultivate successfully potatoes, and various other hardy vegetables. PPINTED PLACARDS, &c.—The bill now before Parlia ment for putting an end to the vexatious proceedings against public companies for penalties incurred by issuing printed circulars and prospectuses with ou t having the printer's name inserted thereon, repeals the 27th section of the 39th Geo. 111., c. 79, which imposes a penalty of £2O for printing any paper or book whatsoever, intended to be published or dispersed, whether for sale or to he given away, without having the printer's name and place of abode appended thereto in a prescribed manner, and then in substance re-enacts the clause, only reducing the penalty to £5, and extending the exception to " papers or books printed by order of or for the use of any society incorporated or enrolled according to law. The bill then gives to the courts of law or magistrates, power to mitigate the penalty to £3, and the plaintiff is not to be entitled to costs beyond the penalty recovered. Papers and books having the name and abode of the printer affixed to them before the passing of this bill are to be exempted from all suits, &c., on other grounds. This bill, therefore, does net dispense with the necessity of having the printer's name and abode on papers or books printed for publication, except in the instances enumerated in the original statute, or where there they are " printed by order or for the use of any society incorporated or enrolled according to law." So far the law remains precisely as it was, and the only differ ence between the forme r ac t an d the present bill relates to the rec.uction of the penalty and enabling the courts and ma gistrates to mitigate it as to them " shall seem fit." iimptrtai Vadiameitt. HOUSE OF LORDS.—THIIRSDAY. The Designs Copyright Bill, and the Designs Copyright Batension Bill, went through committee.. The remainder of the business transacted was confined to the presentations of petitions. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—THURSDAY. Dr. LUSHINGTON moved for an address to the crown or copies of all correspondence with the French government re lltive to claims on account of injuries inflicted on British trade on the western coast of Africa since 1834. After a short discussion, Dr. Lushington withdrew his motion. • On the motion of Mr. E. RICE, an address was agreed to fOr an inquiry into the state of the harbours of the south eastern coast. Mr. GIBSON moved for copi es o f correspon d ence b e t ween the British mission at Copenhagen and the Secretary for Foreign Affairs, relative to the duties lately imposed by Den riark upon the transit of goods between hamburg and Lu beck. The motion was agreed to, after being modified at the suggestion of Lord Palmerston. Sir F. BURDETT called the attention of the house to the case of Mr. Dillon, and moved that Mr. Dillon's petition be referred to a select committee. The motion was opposed by the government, and Sir F. Burdett thought it useless to press it to a division. The house went into committee on the Prisons' Bill, when the unopposed clauses were agreed to, and the report was ordered to be received on Monday.—The house adjourned at twelve o'clock till the following day. HOUSE OF LORDS.—FRIDAY. The LORD CHANCELLOR, at the request of Lord Brougham, deferred the second reading of the Church Dis cipline bill from Tuesday till Thursday next. Lord MELBOURNE presented a message from the crown, stating that her Majesty thought it proper to acquaint the house that the future welfare of Upper and Lower Canada would be promoted by the " un i on ' of those provinces, and recommending the consideration of a measure to effect that object. His lordship afterwards gave notice that he would move, on Monday, that the message should be taken into consideration. The Bishop of LONDON, in requiring some returns respect ing the minute of the privy council on the subject of general education for England, condemned the scheme, as having all the worst features of the system adopted in Ireland, and as calculated to do anything but to support the established church. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE complained that the occa sion of moving for papers should have been used not only to attack what was projected for England, but the system in operation in Ireland, and which had received the sanction of parliament. As to the English plan, all that was proposed was, to have a school or establishment, where teachers might be adequately prepared and instructed. Lord BROUGHAM having made some similar remarks, the motion was agreed to, and their lordships adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—FRIDAY. In the Commons, the Lord-Advocate (Mr. Rutherford) took the oaths and his seat for Leith. There was, it will be perceived, further complaint of the deficient workinc , of the new system regardin g private bill committees, and the inability to get members to attend. Lord J. RUSSELL presented a message from her Majesty, regarding the " union "• of the Canadas, the same as was presented to the House of Lords. Lord J. Ru SSELL then moved that the house resolve into committee on the government of Jamaica bill. Sir R. PEEL opposed the motion at great length, and moved, as an amendment, that instead'of " now " the words " that day six months " be inserted in the motion. Mr. LABOUCHERE defended the bill, maintaining that it was called for by the conduct of the assembly, and stated that it would be proposed to limit its duration to " two years and a half." Extended debate ensued, in which Mr. Godson, Mr. C Buller, and Sir G. Grey took part, and on the motion of Mr, Maclean, the debate was adjourned to Monday. IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO. LATEST NEWS BY H. M. PACKET SPEY, WHICH ARRIVED LATE LAST NIGHT. (From the Private Correspondent of the Falmouth Express.) On the 12th of February, when her Majesty's packet brig Spey, Lieut. R. B. James, commander, was endeavouring to work the outer shoal off Vera Cruz, she observed a large steamer about two miles distant, running down towards an American merchant brig, and, when within about a mile and half, the Spey hoisted her ensign and pendant, but for more than a quarter of an hour the steamer took no notice what ever of the packet, or the compliment paid. The commander suspecting that it was one of the French blockading squadron, ordered a long brass nine-pounder to be got ready, and in less than a minute, by way of a broad hint, sent a shot across his bows, about forty yards a-head of him. In a short time, up went the French ensign and pendant, with a gun to lee ward. If the colours had not been shown, the next shot would have been much better directed. Although the Spey is a packet, yet she is in every respect a vessel of war— whose ensign and pendant must be respected, and not treated with contumely by any nation in the universe. The Spey remained at Vera Cruz 13 days, detained three days over her time by a strong Norther. _ Mr. Pakenham, the British minister, arrived at Vera Cruz on the Ist of March, as mediator between the two go verninents. The misunderstanding is at length brought to a close, and has terminated by the Mexicans giving way to every article of treaty drawn up by the French. Just, or unjust, their demands will amount to pretty near a million of dollars. They are the gainers by this expedition, but it is a query if they ever derive any commercial benefit hereafter— the very name of a Frenchman is enough to exasperate any Mexican, and make him sharpen his knife. They may, ac cording to this new treaty, be considered by the existing government as one of the most favoured nations, but the people will not think so—a Frenchman's life is not worth an hour's purchase at Mexico, especially if he arrives there and sets up a printing press to lecture the government and scoff at religion. Foreigners in general are not at all liked in any part of this great republic, but a Frenchman is now utterly detested. The Mexicans are every one of them full of bigotry and su perstition, incorrigible gamblers, great rascals in money transactions, and robbers of the public money. The lower classes infest the highways for plunder and assassination without mercy. The loss of St. Juan d'Ulloa—a castle they deemed quite impregnable until battered and taken by the French squadron in a few hours—has humbled their pride in proportion as it has excited their thirst for revenge ; and woe to the French shopkeeper or pedlar who disembarks on the Mexican territories, not many will ever return to la belle France. The government is so weak that they dare not bring the culprits to justice. The next in dislike is brother Jonathan on account of Texas. The English and German houses get on just as usual, and will not be disturbed, and, no doubt, will be the gainer, as a reward for their pacifi c con d uc t, an d l oss occa sioned by a twelvemonths' blockade. NEW SOUTH WALES. We (Limerick Chronicle) have Sydney, New South Wales papers, to the 17th October. The colony was in a sad state for want of rain—the wheat crops sickly, the grass burnt up and some of the inland rivers quite exhausted. In conse quence the price of seconds and ration flour advanced £2 on the ton. Upon one farm at Bathurst, 1,000 lambs were killed to save the ewes, for want of grass. Col. Snodgrass, Brigade Major, applied to the Sydney council for £l,OOO, to reimburse him for superintending the mounted police, and keeping charge of the colonial ordnance. The colonel said his staff pay was but £175, while his expenditure was five times more in the year. The Colonel was to resign the office of Brigade Major on the arrival of Major Genefal Sir Maurice O'Connell, the new commander-in-chief; who in tended one of his sons for it. Having a family, Colonel .Snodgrass proposes to take land in lieu of his demand, and to settle in the colony. Another Judge is to be appointed by her Majesty to the colony of New South Wales, where the bench will then consist of four. Sir George Gipps, the Go vernor, had written to the Colonial Office to send out this year two ships with emigrants direct to the new settlement of Port Philip, not calling at Sydney, the usual route, which was tedious and expensive. The few barristers at Sydney had "struck," as it is there termed, for higher fees. Rev. Mr. White, a missionary, had arrived on his way to New Zealand. An auxiliary missionary to the London parent society was formed at Sydney, where the Governor attended the m ee ti ng . The Rev. Mr. 'Williams and Rev. Mr. Hunt addressed a large assembly, the former stating that he had brought out 20,000 copies of the Holy Scriptures for distribution in the. South Sea Islands. The Rev. R. Knopwood, acolonial chap lain, died in indigence at an, exposed cottage, upon Clarence Plains. He was an associate of George IV., when Prince of Wales, and dissipated a fortune of £90,000, which he in herited from Norfolk, in the gaieties of Carlton-house. Mrs. Plunkett, wife of the Attorney-General, was severely hurt by a fall from her carriage. Intemperance, the besetting sin of New South Wales, can be easily indulged, when brandy, rum, and gin, average in the colony but 4s. to is. the gallon. DOVER.—The small-pox continues its ravages here, al though every precaution has been adopted by theprofessional and leading men, with a view, to induce the poor to introduce vaccination into their families ; but such is the infatuation of the ignorant, that they see their offspring perish, one after another, and yet resist the means of averting the fatal effects of the loathsome disease. On Friday last a soldier belonging to the 43d regiment, or Monmouthshire light infantry, named Wyman, died of this disease in the 24th year of his age, and was interred with military honors ; several children also have died of the same disease, not one of whom have been vaccin ated ; whilst on the other hand, wherever this precaution is adopted the patient experienced the disease in a mitigated form.—Dover Chronicle. ROWLAND HILL'S DESCRIPTION OF A SOCINIAN.-Mr. Hill had always a very strong aversion to Socinianism. A few months before his death he was in the company of two or three private christians, not ministers, when the subject of Socinianism chanced to be introduced into conversation. " I'll tell you what," said Mr. Hill, when beginning to take part in the conversation,—" I'll tell you what I consider a Socinian to be like. He reminds me of a jackass eating thistles." "In what way, Mr. Hill ?" asked one. "In what respect ?" inquired a second. " Why, in this way, or in this respect, that the jackass spits out whatever part of the thistle it does not like, and the Socinian spits out what ever portion of the word of God is not pleasant to his spi ritual palate."—The Metropolitan Pulpit ; by the Author of " Random Recollections." ELOPEMENT EXTRAORDINARY. —On Monday last, a young lady, who had just entered her teens, the daughter of a respectable person carrying on the business of a tinner in York, eloped with her mother's journeyman, who is a widower, and the father of several children. The young lady has not yet finished her scholastic studies, and went out as usual at nine o'clock, to school. Shortly after the journey man tinner asked her mother (who is a widow) for leave of absence to see the soldiers at the barracks, which was granted on his promising to return in an hour and a half. That pro mise was however broken, he never returned—and noon did not bring home the young lady from school. Inquiry was made, and it was found that she had played truant and eloped with her lover, who no doubt had his eye on £1,200, to which his youthful runaway is entitled under her father's will. As yet, we believe, no clue has been found of the fugi tives.—York Chronicle. Da. CROLY'S STYLE.—Dr. Croly's style is eloquent in the highest degree, though his eloquence is of a peculiar kind. It is a style which is entirely the reverend gentleman's own : it has not only no parallel in the case of any other living orator or writer ; but I know of no speaker or author of a previous period, whose style Dr. Croly could have fixed on as his model. His eloquence is remarkable for its oriental luxuriance. It is rich in imagery and metaphor of a striking kind, as to impart a dazzling brilliancy to matter which, if expressed in ordinary phraseology, would be regarded as only of a very common-place character. Its remarkable richness, indeed, absolutely cloys the intellectual taste. Dr. Croly's works, to be read with pleasure, must be read by piece -meal. The remark would apply with equal force to his reaching, were he to preach for some hours in succession. here are ministers of the gospel whose elopuence is of that easy and delightful kind, that you could listen to them with unabated pleasure for three or four hours at a time : Dr. Croly begins to pall on the mind or the ear—l do not know which of the terms is the right one—by the time he has addressed his audience for three quarters of an hour, just as the physical stomach sickens soonest with the richest sweetmeats.—The Metropolitan Pulpit ; by the Author of " Random Recol lections." A STRANGE OCCURRENCE. (From Me Manchester Guardian.) About twelve o'clock on Thursday night last, the guests at the Sun Field House Inn (so called from the Inn standing in large field called the Sun Field), on the Hyde and Denton road, about three quarters of a mile on this side of the Crown Point, Denton, were alarmed and shocked by the entrance of a man bleeding profusely from the mouth, apparently from some severe wounds inflicted on the upper and lower jaw, both of which had been broken by the force of the blow or blows. The nature of the injury he had received prevented the man from speaking ; and at length some parties, dis covering that he could write, put questions to him on paper, which he answered, in the , same way, though apparently with great difficuity, and he seemed to suffer much pain. Some persons offered him wine, as a restorative ; but he wrote, " Some water instead of wine." He also wrote " I cannot swallow." A number of interrogatories were then put to him, some of which, with the answers which he wrote, so far as we can make them out (for it appears to have been painful to him to write at all, and after a word or two his hand be comes illegible), we copy from the papers in his possession, correcting the orthography. We should first state that a pistol was found, either in his possession, or lying by the place where the injuries would appear to have been received, and that some powder and shot were found in his pockets : " What is your name ? John Edwards.—How has it been done ? [This question he did not then answer.]—Had you a pistol ? Did you fire it yourself? I had. I did not ; but would have fired, had it not been taken from me. [This question is repeated in another place.]—Did you fire it your self? No; 1 don't know what occurred.—Where do you come from ? I travelled some hundred [The rest of the sentence is an illegible scrawl ; but the next word appears to have been meant for " miles."]—What was it charged with, bullet or shot ? With a bullet about the size of a marble. — Was there more than one person ? I was so surprised at the ruffianly conduct that I did not know,—How was it done ? Somebody came upon me.—[He appears to have been asked if any thing had been taken from him, for the next sentence is]—l had no change taken from me. [We understand that he had upwards of £2. in gold, silver, and copper, in his pockets when he entered the inn.) Some of the persons at theinn thought it desirable to go to the place where the man had received this injury ; and, on leaving the house, they found they were able t o t race th e i r way b y t h e d rops of blood on the road. They crossed the road from the house, which stands on the north side of the road (the left side going from Manchester), to the opposite side, and turned down a foot road, leading, we believe, to Hyde Hall, and thence were led into a field, near the corner of which, at a distance of from three to four hundred yards from the turnpike road, they found a pool of blood. We have been unable to ascertain whether the pistol was found on this spot, or in the man's pocket. The poor fellow being evidently in a state of much suffering, and also of apparent danger, an attempt was made to convey him immediately to this town ; but no vehicle could be procured at that hour ; and, we believe, it was some hours afterwards before a spring -cart was obtained, and he was placed in it and brought to Manchester. He was taken at once to the Royal Infirmary, where he was admitted at five yesterday morning,and his wounds were promptly attended to and dressed. Mr. Gaskell, the house surgeon of the institution, finding a shot, one of the larger sizes, in his mouth, asked the man whether the injury he had received had been inflicted by a bludgeon or other blunt weapon, or by a pistol. The man wrote " Both," and the general appearance of the mouth and jaws is such as to favour this supposition ; for, as we have stated, both the upper and the lower jaw are broken. He was asked, " Have you any friends, that you wish to have informed where )ou a re ? ' but the patient appeared evidently reluctant to answer this question, and indeed did not answer it, though repeatedly put to him. Another ques tion also he manifested a disinclination to answer, viz., " Where do you come from ?" This he evaded. In the course of yesterday afternoon, we called at the In firmary to make some inquiries after the poor fellow, and had then an opportunity of seeing him. Judging from his countenance, though of course the lower part of his face is much disfigured by the shocking injury he has received, we should suppose him to be about thirty years of age. His hair is light ; his complexion fresh-coloured ; his hands not very hard • and altogether his appearance, as well as his attire, is that of a house-servant in the country, a groom or coachman. He wore a blue surtout, with gilt fancy buttons (dead or frosted, not bright gilding), a green Valencia waist coat, with black sleeves, and drab cassimere trousers. Be sides the money and papers already mentioned, a broken piece of a long dressing comb was found in his waistcoat pocket. Before we left the room the poor fellow appeared to be losing his consciousness, and to be in a feverish state ; and we understand that his situation is one of considerable danger. In conclusion, weighing all the circumstances of the case, considering that no robbery appears to have been committed, and that no other motive can be easily imagined for so savage and murderous an attack upon a man who is not known, and who would seem to be a stranger by his own account (inco herent as that must be acknowledged to be) ; coupling with these circumstances the facts of his having a pistol, powder, and shot, and the alleged attack taking place in a field, with out any reason assigned for his quitting the road; looking, also, to his own reluctance to state his residence, or to give the name or address of any friend; taking all these circum stances into consideration, we say, we confess we are led to believe it possible to have been the act of his own hand, —whether the result of accident, or of an attempt at self destruction, we do not of course presume to guess. We understand that this was the general opinion in the immediate neighbourhood, amongst those who saw the man, and visited the place. It is not a little singular, that the constable of Denton, who was in Manchester yesterday, should not have commu nicated anything connected with this strange affair to the Manchester police, though several of the officers saw him. No information had been received of the occurrence at the Manchester police-office last evening, when we made inqui ries there concerning it. OPENING OF THE NEW BATHS AT SOUTHPORT, (From the Wigan Gazette.) Thursday was a gala day in the beautiful village of South port, on account of the opening of the splendid baths lately erected there on the new sea wall. A very gay procession was formed at the Bold Arms Inn, at eleven o'clock, as follows : Flags. The Workmen, two and two. Band. • The Trustees. Directors. Architects and Solicitors. Shareholders. Gentlemen of the Town and Neighbourhood. The Scholars. Of Mr. Walker's Academy, nearly fifty in number. The procession proceeded along the village, round Wel lington-terrace, from thence through Coronation-walk, along the promenade on the shore side to the baths. On arriving there, the party were admitted to view the baths, after which the crowd generally were admitted. All having passed through, expressing themselves highly gratified by the sight, the procession was again marshalled, and returned, taking the route along the promenade, through Coronation-walk, to the Bold Arms, headed by the youths of Mr. Walker's Academy. The shareholders then retired to enjoy the plea sures of a bath, and at three o'clock the public were admit ted to a similar treat. The building itself is a handsome ornamental structure, erected in a neat and substantial manner by Mr. R. Wright, builder. The architect was Mr. Clayton. The point of the building towards the sea is erected of pale-coloured freestone, from the quarry at Scarisbrick, and appears well calculated to resist the sea blast ; the centre is composed of a circular building, containing a public news or waiting room, which is surrounded by a semi-circular colonnade or portico of the lonic order, at each extremity of which are situated the re spective entrances to the ladies' and gentleman's baths ; ex tending to the right and to the left of the centre buildings are wings formed by, pilaster, considerably insolated from the body of the building, and which, being connected with the colonnade, form a continuous promenade from one extremity of the building to the other. The example of the order ap proximates to that of the Temple on the Illissus, but the ar chitect seems to have blended the severity of the Grecian ar chitecture with the lightness and elegance of the Italian—an innovation which perhaps ought not to be commended as a general principle ' • but certainly in this in s ta nce muc h judg ment has been shown in producing a design so characteristic with this rising and attractive watering-place. The internal arrangements are roomy and convenient. The entrance on the gentlemen's side, from the circular portico, opens into a spacious corridor, in part supported by isolated pilasters ; to the left is the gentleman's swimming bath, about 25ft. by 66ft. inside, surrounded by dressing rooms, and which has a constant supply of fresh water from a fountain near the centre ; to the right of the corridor are situated a range of private baths, each having adressing-room attached, and which can be used either as a hot, cold, or shower bath. The corridor next conducts you to the inva lids' and medicinal baths, to which separate entrances and waiting galleries are attached, and terminates in the engine house, which is fitted up as a conservatory for the reception of tropical plants and exotics. The ladies' baths possess nearly similar arrangements, excepting that an extensive tepid bath is provided ; and which is used in mornings for ladies, and in afternoons for gentlemen. Pipes are laid a considera ble distance towards the sea into extensive reservoirs, and sea water is drawn from thence by a steam-engine, erected by Messrs. Galloway and Co., of Manchester, into tanks covering the whole space of the centre building ; from these tanks the several baths are supplied by a convential flow of water. The whole arrangements were under the management of Mr. Robinson, whose exertions are entitled to great praise. At four o'clock, the trustees, directors, shareholders, and a large party of their friends, sat down to an excellent dinner, provided by Mr. Halfey, of the Bold Arms. Willi am fill, Esq., in the chai r . H. Watkin, Esq., officiated as vice president. - After the cloth was removed, and the health of her Ma. jesty had been drank with the usual honours, T.

The Chairman acknowledged the compliment paid to him in suitable terms ; after which, a variety of toasts were drunk, and the hilarity of the evening was kept up to a late hour. - - IMPORTANT TO OWNERS OF VESSELS.

APPREHENSION OF SEVEN CHARTISTS FOR DRILLING. (From the Manchester Guardian). For the last four or five days, the constables of Manchester have had information that a number of men, probably about a hundred, had begun to assemble in the evening, about half past seven o'clock, in a somewhat retired lane leading from the southerly side of Oldham-road, just beyond the Newton Heath toll bar, towards Bagley Fold and Clayton Hall (about three miles from Manchester), where they appeared to be exercised by several others, who seemed to be placed in authority over theta as leaders, apparently giving them cer tain orders, in compliance with which they executed various steps, marchings, and other evolutions, though without any weapons. _ _ The authorities, deefr t ing it necessary to obtain some in formation of the movements of these men, and also such knowledge of their persons as would e na bl e witnesses to identify them, sent some of the police-officers, recently ap pointed, to the spot, to observe their motions. On Thurs day evening one of these officers was recognised, or at any rate suspected by the men under drill ; for they pelted him with stones, and he was glad to make his escape. Another, named Higginson, was more fortunate ; though he under went considerable questioning by the chartists. However, he remained, and their suspicions were lulled by his state ments ; and he took such notice of the persons of many of the men as to enable himself to speak to their identity. Yesterday, the constables determined to have these char tists seized, or as many of them as might be practicable ; and accordingly Mr. Beswick, the principal police beadle, with sixteen of the police-officers under his direction, pro ceeded to the Oldham Road lock-up ; and Mr. Beswick stationed the officers in various parts of the road, and within the lock-up, except three men, Higginson and two others, who proceeded to the lane, where they again found the char tists drilling. There appeared to be two squadrons or com panies, one of 25 men, and the other of 15 ; and one man (whose name is Riley) was observed - giving the word of command, and directing the evolutions of the men. The three officers reconnoitred the chartists, till their drilling and exercising had terminated ; and they separated, some going in one direction, some in another. Higginson kept in view one party of eight or ten, wh o returned towards Man chester, along Oldham Road. Mr. Beswick, who was a little beyond the lock-up in that road, saw these men com ing along, and, noticing their measured step, felt satisfied that these were some of the men of whom he was in quest. Shortly afterwards Higginson crossed the road, and con firmed his suspicions, or rather changed them into certainty. On reaching the lock-up, just before the chartists reached the door, Mr. Beswick called out the officers stationed within, and with the other policemen outside, they instantly surrounded the men, and apprehended eight of them, who were at once conveyed into the lock-up. There seven of them were identified as having taken part in the drilling ; and the eighth, not being recognised, was discharged. Two coaches were procured, in one of which four, and in the other three of the prisoners were placed, handcuffed together; and in this way they were taken down to the police-office, Town Hall, King-street, where they arrived about half-past eleven o'clock. Here their names, ages, trades, and resi dences, were taken down ; and they were then conveyed to the New Bailey, where, we suppose they will be brought up for examination this day. We subjoin such particulars of their names, trades, &c. as they gave themselves to the clerk at the police : office. _ Edward Riley, aged 22, of Bank Meadow, operative dyer, in the employ of Mr. Jonathan Jackson, and at present re ceiving 16s. a week wages. [This man is the individual who was exercising and directing the others, up to within half an hour of his capture.] Thomas Ward, 20, of Wood-street, Deansgate, carder, in the employ of Messrs. Higgins, Ordsal-lane Mill, Salford, till about six weeks ago, when (as he says) the mill stopped, and he has since been out of work. William Darran, 17, of No. 64, St. George's-road, power loom weaver, in the employ of Messrs. Thorpe and Hague, cotton spinners and manufacturers by power, Bateman's buildings, Deansgate. John Hodges, 18, of Silver-street, Aytoun-street, also a power-loom weaver, in the employ of Messrs. Thorpe and Hague. William Stanfield, 23, of Copperas-street, Shudehill, smith, employed at Messrs. France and Boardman's, cotton spinners and manufacturers, Oak-street Mill. John Wright, 18, of Oswald-street, Miller-street, me chanic, also employed at Oak-street Mill. William Naylor, 18, of St. George's Road, a tailor, work ing for his father. These men having been conveyed to the New Bailey, and lodged in the lock-up there, Mr. Beswick applied to Mr. Maude, the stipendiary magistrate, who was in the con stable's office, for a warrant against another man who had been observed on the preceding (Thursday) night, drilling one or two companies of these chartists in the same lane. It seems that after the seven men were apprehended, but be fore they were conveyed to the police-office, Mr. Beswick went with Higginson to the house of this man, and askedhim if he had been drilling the men that (Friday) evening ; and on the man answering in the negative, Mr. Beswick appear e 1 satisfied, and withdrew, Higginson, however, declared that he was one of the drillers on the Thursday evening, when he exercised others and gave the word of command; and Mr. Beswick therefore applied to Mr. Maude, who at once issued his warrant against this man, on an information charging him with having, on the 2d May, in the township of Newton, been present at and attending a meeting or assembly of per sons, for the purpose of training and drilling persons to the use of arms, and practising military exercises and evolutions, without any lawful authority from her majesty, or the lieu tenant of the county, or any Of her majesty's justices of the peace of the said county, contrary to the statute, Sm Mr. Beswick, accompanied by six officers, then proceeded to the cellar of this man, near the Lamb public-house, Oldham road, about 400 yards beyond the lock-up, but on the oppo site side of the street. The officers reached the cellar about a quarter before one o'clock this (Saturday) morning, and found the man in bed. He was dressed, handcuffed, and brought away, and was conveyed to the New Bailey. lock-up. His own account of himself is as follows: William Fairplay, 46, dealer in potatoes, &c. Oldham-road. He has been in the army, having served as a private in the 62d regiment of infantry, during its campaigns in Italy and America. When: told why he wa; apprehended, viz. for drilling the men on Thursday night, he denied that he was at Newton at all that night, _ At the late hour at which we write, and under the peculiar circumstances of the case, we forbear all comment. FURTHER PARTICULARS. (Prom the Second Edition of the Manchester Courier.) EXAMINATION. AND COMMITTAL. OP THE PRISONERS This morning (Saturday) the prisoners were brought u p a t the New Bailey, before Messrs. Maude, Garnett, Smith Barnes, Norreys, and several other magistrates. On the names of the prisoners being called over, William Fairplay was ordered to be taken down, as lie was appre hended on a separate warrant, and on another charge. Mr. Beswick was sworn, and related the particulars which we have given above. He said the drilling had been going forward for a week, on some ground between Newton and the Manchester reservoir. Last:night, in compliance with orders received from the constables, he put himself at the head of sixteen men, proceeded to the lockups,, at Newton Heath, where lie lodged the greater part of the men, and ordered Higginson and two others to proceed to the drilling ground, for the purpose of reconnoitering. Between nine and ten, he perceived the prisoners and some other men coining down the road, four a-breast, towards Manchester, and he then ordered out his men, and took the prisone rs i n t o cus t o d y . Higginson stated hat when he went to the drilling ground last night, he saw Riley there giving the word of command. Mr. Maude.—That is another and heavier offence under the act of parliament. Higginson continued, that he could swear that the whole of the seven prisoners in the dock were marching, and taking part in the drill, and he heard some of them make an agree ment to meet again on Sunday morning, at seven o'clock. He stood right in the midst of them. At first there were about 30 being drilled, who were dividedinto two companies, but afterwards, from the pressure of the crowd, they were united into one, and stood together. He heard Riley give the word of command, who said, " all fall back a pace with the right leg." They did not do it well, so he ordered them to do it again. He then counted them, each man saying one, two, three, four, 'and so on, up the line. He then ordered them to hold up their heads. He (Higginson) watched about three quarters of an hour. Bucknall, the deputy-constable of Newton, was next sworn. He said that, last night, he went to a farm-house, hard by the drilling ground, where he could distinctly hear the word of command given. What he heard, was, " Stantrat ease," " Attention," and so forth. He then went down the lane, close in the rear of the men who were marching, and he heard the words of command "Halt," and " Fall in" given. The prisoners then fell in tour-abreast. He (Bucknall) had been regularly drilled himself. He was drilled in the metropo litan police. The exercising last night was a regular military drilling. He was sure that the prisoners were the parties who fell in at the word of command. Higginson re-called.—He was amongst the prisoners in the lane all the time. He heard Riley say, "We only want muskets now, and then we shall be ready for the b—rs." Mr. Maude here asked the prisoners if they had anything to say for themselves, and they one and all denied that they had taken any part in the drilling, but that they had merely gone casually as spectators. Mr. Mantle said that even spectators fell under the pro visions of the act. The prisoner Darwen's father, who was evidently much alarmed, said his son was only a lad of sixteen or seventeen, and he was sure he hal not been concerned in the drilling. The prisoner Hughes said he h a d gone casua ll y to the drill, and had been asked to " fall in,'' which he did, but he was not aware that he was doing wrong. Riley said he was a dyer, and that after he had left work he went to his sisters at Newton, but he denied that he had taken part in the drill, or given the word of command. Higginson re-called.---Would swear positively that Riley was, the man who gave the word of command. Bucknall re-called.---He saw the prisoners fall into line, and followed them. He could swear that those (the pri soners) were the men who walked in line. At half-past seven there were not more than thirty present. Mr. Maude, after consulting with his brother magistrates, addressed the prisoners. He said it was a very melancholy sight- to see so many young men,- all in wnrk, according to their own admissions, conducting themselves in that unlaw ful manner, and lending themselves as tools to designing men. By conducting themselves-in that manner, they were doing that which would eventually bring distress and misery upon them, and they never could arrive at any good by such foolish and unlawful proceedings ; and he could assure them that, as in all similar cases, they would find the law too strong for them. As to what their ulterior objects might be, was not to be discussed or decided there, but that they were acting illegally there could not be a doubt. It was not at all necessary that it should be proved that they had formed in a line ; the mere fact that they were meeting there, and by their presence countenancing illegal proceedings, was suffi cient. As to Riley, his offence would subject him to trans portation; and as to the rest of them, they would be subject to a long term of imprisonment. He did hope that the warn ing afforded by their case that day, would have its proper effect, and deter others from similar misconduct. It was with extreme regret that he found himself under the necessity of committing them, but it was absolutely necessary that an example should be made of them, and they were positively sworn to as the guilty parties. With regard to all of them, except Riley, they must each find two sureties in £5O each, themselves in £lOO, to answer the charge at the assizes, and give 48 hours' notice of bail. As to Riley, his was a heavier offence, as he was distinctly sworn to as having given the word of command. He (Riley) must find two sureties in £lOO each, and enter into his own recognizances in £2OO, to appear and to answer the charge at the assizes. The queen's proclamation had been issued against - those meetings, and every one who transgressed the law would be sent to the assizes like them. He believed the authorities generally had taken means to put them down, and he could not but ap prove of their vigilance. They (the chartists) would find, to their cost, that the law was too strong for them all combined. After a few further observations, Mr. Maude ordered the prisoners to be taken down. Darren's father applied to have him remanded until Mon day, in order that lie might obtain legal assistance, but the application was not granted; and his brother endeavoured to prove that he went merely to see the drill. The decision of the bench, however, was, that they all stood committed, of course subject to default of bail. WILLIAM FAIRPLAY 9 S CASE. William Fairplay was here placed at the bar, under a separate warrant, for drilling a body of chartists on Thursday night, at Newton. Higginson was sworn, and stated that on Thursday night he went to Newton Heath, and found a number of men, amounting to about 30, undergoing a drilling in a lane rather further on than the one described in the last case. The pri soner was standing in the middle, ordering the men to keep their heads up, and endeavouring to keep them in a line. The crowd rather pressed upon the prisoner, and he said he would not act if they did not give him room. Witness was there about twenty minutes. The men asked the prisoner to begin again, which he did, on condition that the crowd would not press upon him. He then told them to fall a pace back, and said it would not do if they did not come every night. After the drill was over, witness walked along the road with prisoner, who appeared rathe r sus pi c i ous o f hi m , and asked him where he came from. Witness replied that he came from Flixton, and mentioned the names of several persons whom prisoner knew. Prisoner then appeared more confidential, and asked him how they (the chartists) were coming on there. Witness replied " Very well," and told him they had not so much trouble with them as he (prisoner) appeared to have. He then asked prisoner when they in tended to meet again, and he replied on the following even ing, at Boardman's Square, White Moss, or somewhere. Prisoner asked him if he would sleep at his house, but he (witness) declined, saying he did not like sleeping in Man chester, and should go home. The prisoner, in his defence, denied the truth of Higgin son's evidence in toto, and said he had not drilled the men at all. In answer to a question from Mr. Maude, he admitted that he had been a soldier twenty-one years ago, in the 62d regiment, but was not a pensioner. Mr. Maude said he should deal with him as he had dealt with Riley, and ordered him to find two sureties in £lOO., and to enter into his own recognizances for £2OO. to appear in answer to the charge at the assizes, giving twenty-four hours' notice of his bail. A young man, whose name we could not catch, here stepped into the witness box, and being sworn, stated that neither of the persons who had been sworn to as drilling the people at Newton were the parties. He was there, and had spoken to an old Irishman who had been doing so, and he believed he was not in custody. The bench did not appear to credit this evidence, and Mr. Maude cautioned the witness against attending any more such meetings. Here the proceedings terminated. The Queen's proclamation against unlawful drilling and training of bodies of men, has been posted up tlAgoughout the town. The magistrates are now a.§sembled in their private room for the purpose of deciding upon a proclamation, which is to be issued this evening. We understand that late last night a number of the chartists were apprehended in the act of drilling, and taken before the magistrates, by whom, after an examination, they were libe rated on bail. The military were sent for to this town, but by the time they had arrived all was quiet, and the people had dispersed. THE CHARTIST RIOTS AT LLANIDLOES. FURTHER PARTICULARS The Shrewsbury Chronicle of Fiiday, after noticing the arrival of the London and local police officers at Llanidloes, thus continues :—Between eight and nine o'clock they appre hended two of the parties against whom warrants were out, and who demanded the cause of their arrest. They were conveyed to the Trewythen Arms Inn ; but no sooner had they been secured in the house than the tocsin of general alarm was given, and the hotel was in a few moments sur rounded by hundreds, uttering the most awful threats. The release of the men was imperatively demanded, the doors broken, and a general volley of stones and other missiles hurled at the windows. The mob, finding themselves mas ters of the house, proceeded to hunt out the policemen; Blinkhorn was found, dragged from under a bed, his pistols and staff wrested from him, and presented at his head. His life was spared ; but he was savagely abused,fand threatened with ultimate destruction unless he left the country. They then proceeded to the cellars, carried the wines into the streets, and stove in the ends of the ale barrels. The destruc tion of property at the Trewythen Arms is great; and the infuriated populace, not satisfied with obtaining their men, tore the bed-hangings and window curtains into shreds, cut the bedsteads, and injured the staircase with their pikes. This hotel was formerly the residence of John Hunter, Esq., and the finishing of the house is superior to that of any hotel in this country. The family of Mrs. Evans, the land lady, escaped without personal injury, although most rudely treated by some of these ruffians. The Welshpool police man was badly hurt, and reached Newtown about two o'clock, with one of the London police, who was also injured ; and they proceeded to Welshpool in the evening. Two of the London police and an assistant from Newtown were secreted, and escaped without material injury. The men from Lon don, employed on this occasion, are those who secured the Todmorden rioters and the Rev. Mr. Stephens; but they declare that the ferocity of these ill-ad v i se d men a t Llanidloes exceeded anything they ever saw. THURSDAY MORNING.—LATEST ACCOUNT FROM LLAN lDLOES.—lrnmediately on the commencement of the out break, the chartists despatched a messenger to the miners in the district, who, on Wednesday, entered Llanidloes, and paraded the town. Most persons complain of the dilatory proceedings in allowing the town to remain so long at the mercy of the mob. All business is suspended, and the greatest gloom prevails. On Wednesday the chartist carried one of their own party, who had violated their regulations, on a ladder, and threw him over the bridge into the river. We are sorry to say the most inveterate bad feeling prevails in Llmidloes, and we fear these disturbances will not ter minate without bloodshed. • NEWTOWN. — LATEST AccouNT.—When the mail left Newton, every thing was perfectly quiet ; the chartists had Filet the evening before, but dispersed peaceably. Trade is ea ceedingly bad, and much affected by the disturbances up the country. Blinkhorn, Breeze, and Lewis, the police officers although badly hurt, are recovering. The Right lion. C. W. Wynn had an interview with Lord John Russell on Wednesday morning, immediately after which he departed for Montgomeryshire, where he arrived on Thursday morning. Lord Clive, the lord lieutenant, departed from Shrewsbury very hastily the same day, to take measures on the spot for insuring the peace of the county ; and his regiment of yeomanry have volunteered their services, to proceed to the disaffected district; but we believe there will not be much necessity for their services, a sufficient force of regular troops being in readiness to march into Wales at a few hours' notice. (From the Times of Yesterday.) " CHARTISTS AT NEWTOWN.—The advice of Hethering ton, Powell, and Jones, has been so far acted upon by their most silly but zealous supporters, as to assemble each evening after working hours for the purpose of discipline to arms.' A fellow named Ingram is the commander-in-chief, a lazy and discharged old soldier. Powell told the meeting some time ago that he owed Newton nothing but his birth,' which, we are informed, was more owing to the shrewdness of the Newtown people than. to Powell's dread of going into debt. He asked with great emphasis, Are you prepared to lay bare your right arm to strike the blow ? Do not promise to-night and forget in the morning, but stand firm.' It will be seen by our melancholy account from Llanidloes that the advice of these w.ort'iless itinerants' has been but too fatally fol lowed, and when we penned the article last week we did not expect that our anticipations would so soon have been verified. Most of the inhabitants of Newtown were aware, by the arrival of three policemen from London by the Wonder, who were accompanied by the sheriff's office, a constable, and Blinkhorn, that it was contemplated to arrest parties impli cated in the late demand for.arms, and other illegal acts at Llanidloes. On the arrival of Mr. Marsh in Newtown on Tuesday, who communicated intelligence of the dangerous wounding of the policemen, and the destruction of property, a considerable sensation prevailed. A few groups of work ing people were about the streets, and in the evening a party, principally composed of boys, met ; but the most decent and reflective of the workmen abandoned these proceedings, and the most influential manufacturers pointed out the error and mischief of such conduct. This was attended with be neficial effects, and the whole of Wednesday was as quiet as any day that ever passed. The conduct of all parties in Newtown was highly commendable ; but it is considered to have been impolitic to send so small a force into a town where the chartists were known to be so strong and so desperate." STATE OF TRADE. (From the Leeds Intelligencerd LEEDS.—The demand for balk goods in the Cloth Halls exhibits no material improvement, and the, manufacturers complain that the prices offered by the merchants are not sufficiently remunerative. On Tuesday there were rather more lookers 'on, but the sales can scarcely be said to have been correspondingly large. Generally speaking the manu factories are fully employed, and wool is firm in price. BRADFORD MARKET.—We had a fair attendance of buyers in the market here on Thursday, and an average amount of business was transacted in manufactured goods, but the buyers appeared determined to buy low, and in many cases declined to offer a remunerating price, which had the effect of limiting the sales. The yarn market was rather dull, and in some cases a trifling reduction of price was submitted to ; yet the wool market was firm, and there was a good demand for their finer qualities. OLDHAM.—The cotton trade of Oldham is in a depressed state. The machinery of twenty-eight factories is running only some three, four, and five days per week. Th e b an d s in only nine mills are employed full time, and the owners of them expect to commence short time next week. The cause of the present languid state of trade is chiefly attributed to the markets being overstocked, especially with fustians and yarns for exportation. The batting trade, especially for ex portation, continues unusually brisk, and the wages of the operatives are much better ;than they were twelve months since. LEICESTER.—The demand still continues dull for regular wrought hose, especially of the better qualities. The glove trade is brisk. The wool trade continues firm. SILK TRADE.—The silk trade, of every description of work, was scarcely ever known to be so brisk. On Saturday last, there were many buyers in the market at Manchester, and they completely cleared many of the warehouses of goods, many of which are for exportation. There are many light coloured checks woven; the goods manufactured, particularly the fine satins, are very rich looking articles.—Silk dyers and weavers are as busy as they can be, and wages are a trifle better than they were two months since, yet they are very low. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S,—ThuRSDAY. The room was well attended, and business, without being heavy, of considerable interest. The grand feature of the af ternoon will be found from the quotations to have consisted in the advance of the Hon. Sidney Herbert's lot (Clarion, out of Clara, and the Charlotte West colt,) which was backed by the party at 30 to Ito win nearly £20,000. A few other changes will be found. Dragsman was as good a favourite here as at Newmarket; but Ciesar declined half a point, and in reality had very little the best of Corsair. Some bets were made between them at evens. The Day improved two or three points, and Euclid found friends at 11 to 1 ; 23 to 1 was taken about Deception, and only 18 to 1 offered at the close. No other alteration of consequence occurred.

The reports relative to the appearance of the crops of wheat throughout England, are of a very flattering character. Robert Stephenson, Esq., the eminent engineer, is on his way to Italy, to lay out a railroad from the city of Florence to Leghorn. Wednesday was the birthday of the illustrious Duke of Wellington, who completed his 70th year. By an eruption of water into one of the shafts of a mine near Aberystwith, a few days ago, four miners were drowned. A fifth escaped almost miraculously. Lord and Lady Francis Egerton entertained Sir Robert and Lady Peel, the Earl of Aberdeen, and a select party of friends at dinner, on Wednesday evening, at Bridgewater House. The remains of a Roman amphitheatre have just been discovered outside of Narbonne, and arc said to indicate that the building was of larger dimensions than those of Nismes and Aries. The Duke of Richmond is recovered from a severe illness caused by the moving of the ball with which his grace was wounded at the battle of Orthez, and which has never been extracted. DEATH OF A PRINTER.—George Woodcock, the * of his profession, the type of honesty, the ! of all ; and although the it;" of death has put a . to his existence, every § of his life was without all.—Sussex and Essex Times. The report that her majesty intends to visit the continent during the summer is entirely without foundation, but a royal trip to Scotland in the course of the autumn is reported to be in contemplation. RAILWAY TUNNEL, NEAR TODMORDEN. This great undertaking has been relinquished by Messrs. Evans and Coupland. The company have appointed John Stephenson, Esq. as their successor to work the tunnel. The trout of the river Aire have been justly held in high estimation for the solidity of their flesh, and superiority of their flavour; a specimen not only combinihg these qualities, but of gigantic size (weighing a few ounces short of six pounds), was recently caught in Utley deeps, near IC.ighley. The Wesleyan methodists at Boston, none of the richest connected with that influential body, at a public meeting on Tuesday week, raised two thousand eight hundred pounds towards the erection of a new chapel, and the payment of a heavy debt on their old one. NEW CASE OF ABSENCE OF MIND.—A doctor, calling upon a patient, put the fee into the hand of the sick man and took the pills himself ; nor did he perceive his mistake until he found himself getting ill and his patient recovering. It has been discovered that some of the best black tea im ported into this country from China is grown in a climate much colder than that of England, and experiments are in consequence now making near Birmingham to introduce the cultivation into this country. EMIGRATION FROM IRELAND.—The Waterloo, of 450 tons, will leave the Thames this week, for the Shannon, hav ing been fitted up at the sole expense of Col. Wyndham, as an emigrant ship, to carry farm labourers from his large estate in Clare, to Sydney, New South Wales. DEATH OF THE BISHOP OF PETERBOROUGH.—On Wed nesday evening, at the Palace, died Herbert Marsh, D. D., Bishop of Peterborough, Margaret Professor of Divinity, and Rector of Terrington St. Clements, Norfolk, aged 82 years. He was consecrated bishop of Llandaft; 1816 ; and was translated to the Diocese of Peterborough, 1819. INQUEST EXTRAORDINARY.—An inquest was held last week, at the house of Mr. Thomas Price, Castle-street, Ruthin, upon what were supposed to be the bones of a child, which a man had found in digging a garden. After a grave deliberation, it was at length discovered by the medical gen tleman present, that the bones were those of a cat! How the poor animal had come by its death was not elicited. Lord and Lady Stanley gave a sumptuous dinner, in St. James's square, on Wednesday evening, to the Earl and Countess of Wilton, Earl and Countess of Dunmore, Lord Castlereagh, Lord Villiers, Ossulston, Lord and Lady Je mima Eliot, Lord George Bentinck, Lord and Lady Mahon, Lord and Lady Fitzharris, Mr. Grenville; Lord Barrington, and the Hon. Mr. and Mrs. Bootle Wilbraham. The noble lord gave another grand banquet on Thursday evening to a party of 24. Puss TURNED GROOM.—The curious may any fine day see, on the Burley road, a gentleman's servant mounted on one horse, leading another, on the back of which placidly sits a cat, with paws on bridle, and giving herself all the airs of a groom of the first water, taking out his favourite steed for a morning's airing. Puss looks as wise as a Russell Justice, and performs her duties as holder of the reins a great deal better than Lord Melbourne or Lord Palmerston.—Leeds Intelliyencer. DEPRESSION OF TRADE.—We are much concerned to state, that the staple trade of this town is at the present mo ment, in a most depressed condition. Both spinners and manufacturers have good ground for complaint ; but the spinners especially are suffering from the state of the times. Many of them are making positive sacrifices, and that in no inconsiderable degree ; there is too much reason to fear, that should not an alteration speedily take place, great and general distress must prevail.—Preston Chronicle. EXTRAORDINARY TIMBER.—A remarkably fine piece of timber now lies in the yard of Messrs. Cryer and Vitty, of Rochdale. It is the stem of an elm, which was blown down near the mansion of Mrs. Lawrence, Studley Park, near Ri pon, during the hurricane of January last. It is 16 feet in length, 15 feet 6 inches in circumference ; and contains about 162 feet of solid timber, exclusive of two arms, which contained about 107 feet, It will, we understand, be shortly sawn up, and made into kitchen dressers. THE FLITCH OF BAcoN.—Dunmow, (Little) a town.in Essex, had once a Priory, and is still famous for the tenor of its manor, namely, that whatever married couple will go to the priory, and swear, kneeling upon two pointed stones, that they have not quarrelled, nor repented of their marriage, within a year and a day after it took place, shall receive a flitch of bacon. Some old records mention several that have claimed and received it ; and it has been actually received so late as the year 1751; but the custom has since been dormant, either through the want of claimants, or from the neglect to enforce the demand. CHEVET TUNNEL.—This laborious section of the North Midland Railway is in a very forward state, and is expected to be completed in about three months. The tunnel is about three quarters of a mile long, 25 feet wide, and 22 feet high, and the whole is lined with bricks, the number of which is estimated at a million and a quarter. Nearly the whole of the tunnel is cut through hard rock. The excavation at the en trance at the Chevet end is 36 feet deep, and at the Walton end about 60 feet. The greatest depth of the tunnel from the surface is 63 feet. The contractor is Mr. Shaw, of Milnthorpe, late of Worsbro' Dale.—Leeds Intelligencer. The ministers are giving symptoms that they will now hurry on the business of the session as much as they can ; for Lord J. Russell on Wednesday night placed a notice on the commons' books, that, on Tuesday next, he will move " That, after Whitsuntide, orders of the day shall take pre cedence of notices on Thursdays," leaving only one day in the week for motions, Tuesday, as Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, are already order days. EXPORTS TO JAMAICA.—By a parliamentary, return just printed it appears that the declared value of the exports from the United Kingdom to Jamaica in the nine last years were as follow : 1830 £1,353,359 1835 £1,718,768 1831 1,240,438 1836 1,756,504 1832 1,324,675 1837 1,534,223 1833.... 1834.. PRIZE FIGHT.—One of these disgusting and revolting exhibitions, which we had hoped were at length in disfavour with what is called " the sporting world," was fought on Tuesday, at Woodhead, in Cheshire. The pugilists were " Jemmy Russell." of this town, and .` Bob Heald," of Stockport ' • the fight was for £5O a side, and it i s s t a t e d th a t the roads leading from Manchester and Stockport to the scene of action were thronged with equestrians, pedestrians, and vehicles of every description. Betting was in favour of Heald at starting ; and after pommeling each other through 52 rounds, occupying an hour and five minutes, Heald hit Russell down, on which his seconds gave in, and Heald was declared the winner. —Where were the magistrates and con stables of the neighbourhood ? NEW PEERS.—We have great satisfaction (says the Globe of Thursday) in announcing that the following are imme diately to be raised to the peerage :—Lord Talbot de Mala hide, an English peerage, or Baron Furnival Malabide ; Sir John Stanley, Bart. Baron Stanley, of Alderley, of Alderley Park ; Right Hon. Henry Villiers Stuart, Baron Stuart, of Decies ; Right Hon. Charles F. Brownlow, Baron Largan, of Largan; ChandokLeigh, Esq. Baron Leigh, of Stoneleigh ; Paul Bielby Thomson, Esq. Baron Wenlock, of Wenlock ; Nicholas Ridley Colborne, Esq. Baron Colborne, of Har ling ; Arthur French, Esq. Baron de Fregne. We under stand that when the government decided to ask a vote of confidence from the house of commons on their Irish policy, they at the same time determined that if that vote should be carried, the friends of liberal government, and especially of those principles which have guided the executive in Ireland, should be strengthened by some addition to the peerage. EFFECTS OF CHARTIST AGITATION.—We are deeply grieved to learn, that, for some weeks past, con s id era bl e sums have been withdrawn from the Savings' Bank of this town, consisting of different small amounts belonging to the opera tive class of depositors. Some have taken away the whole of their deposits, and numbers of others ha ve ser i ous ly reduced their funds. We are enabled to state, not from conjecture, but on evidence deserving implicit reliance, that this exten sive simultaneous withdrawal, on the part of the operatives of their savings, is, in the great bulk of instances, for the pur pose of purchasing pikes and fire-arms. This is truly a la mentable circumstance ; and deeply, we fear, will the deluded victims of the agitation have cause to repent it. We speak not in anger, but in sorrow ; for it is truly painful to see honest and hard-earned savings prostituted to purposes con sistent neither with the laws of God nor man.—Preston Chronicle. GRAND MASONIC FESTIVAL.—The annual grand festival of the English masonic fraternity took place on Wednesday, at Freemasons' Hall, under the presidency of his Royal High ness the Duke of Sussex, the most worshipful grand master. Among the appointments consequent on this anniversary were those of the Earl of Durham, as pro-grand master, in the room of the late E ar l o f Zetland; the present Earl of Zetland as a deputy grand-master, in the room of Lord John Spencer Churchill, whose promotion to the Druid takes him from his masonic duties ; A. H. Moreton, Esq., senior grand warden ; Capt. Deans Dundas, junior grand warden ; Joseph Douglas and Stephen Norris, Esqrs. grand deacons ; and J E. M`Mullan, 'Esq., grand sword-hearer. The brethren then adjourned to the festival, which was attended by about 300 members of the craft.—Herald. NEWFOUNDLAND AND BRITISH NORTH AMERICA SCHOOL SOCIETY.—On Friday, the annual meeting of the members of this society was held at Exeter Hall; the Rt. Hon. Lord Bexley in the chair. The Lords Bishop of Chester, Ohio, and Valmont, the Rev. Messrs. Close, Hybert, Hazle grave, with several other clergymen and gentlemen were on the platform. Lord Bexley read letters from Lords Roden and Sandon, apologizing for their unavoidable absence. His lordship then explained the object of the society, which is to furnish a religious education to the settlers in the North American colonies ; to promote the circulation of the H o ly Scriptures, the Prayer Book, and Homilies ; and t o ren d er such assistance as is in conformity with ecclesiastical disci pline. Front the report it appeared that there are in the colonies 39 daily 41 Sunday, and 15 adult schools, which are attended by 3,o6l.pupils. The receipts for the past year amounted to £3,103 13s 3d, and the expenditure to £3,475, exclusive of £674 3s raised as a building fund ; and the average expense for the ensuing year is calculated at £3OOO. After several strong appeals in behalf of the society, and the adoption of resolutions in support of its object, thanks were voted to his lordship, and the meeting separated.—Herald. POLICE INTELLIGENCE, FRIDAY.

OUTRAGEOUS CONDUCT. Three most ruffian-looking fellows, named Ford , sPd Maguire, were placed a t th e bar, charged with rioiilic'-sur indiscriminate abus e o f every person they met with, le m ur g s hall-road, on the evening of Saturday, at so early au, o f lo' between six and seven o ' c l oc k .
