AN AFFECTING SCENE.—The late George Dunn, gaoler of Kilmainham. a blunt, kind-hearted Northumbrian, being requested to mention the incident connected with capital punishments, which had most affected him during his long experience, selected one so simple, and so touch ing, as proves him to have been possessed, not only of very tender feeling, but of a most correct and delicate judgment.

WOMAN'S CRITICISM ON WOMAN.—I should like to make a remark to you upon this subject, which you may have omitted to make to yourself in the ardour of our vir tuona against Madame Lola Montes : and incugna that is, how in Rosamond Clifford v .e all are to be interested ives in the twelfth cen- tury, and to rev her when s ;be appears in the middle of the nineteenth. Have you ever thought of that, reader ? Now, it is not the disgust for the one that I would have diminished, it is the taste for the other. Rosamond, I have no doubt, was a most worthless young lady, and, probably, if you heard the opinions given upon her by one of Queen Eleanor's ladies of honour, you would find out that Lola herself was no worse ; and yet, give a tragedy to-morrow called "Fair Rosamond," and you shall see how the best and purest ladies in the land will agitate their pocket handkerchiefs, and vote Eleancr of Guienne a vile murderess, and call her a thousand hard names.

ARKWRIGHTS AS THEY ARE.—Some months ago, the head of the Arkwrieht family died, and his will 'ed, and some ame to be proved, tt he pub: of them not a little alarmed, at finding the enormous extent of his wealth. The personal property was sworn to be under five millions. Under five millions ! Why, five millions yields, at a rate of five per cent. interest, an annual income of not less than two hundred and fifty thousand a year. Not more than two or three men in England are known to possess such incomes. And then the rate at which it must be increasing ! The Arkwrights don't live like the Nugents. Their establishment, though '- grandly situate, is remarkable for the _.g-s and the simplicity of its enter nors of the family are devoted to no extravagances. They keep neither horses nor .ats, opera boxes nor Belgravian palaces. On the jontrary, the visitor at any hour in the day, or any day in the week, will find them in the mill, in the workshop, o r in the counting-house. The untiring energy of the founder of the family lives in his descendants : the splen dour of wealth—the attractions of a gay world—political or literary ambition,—all these things fail to draw them for a moment from the daily routine of spinning and weaving, the fingering of yarn, the examination of bad cuts, and the casting up the accounts. They have no pride of birth, no political dignity to support, like the Sutherlands. Westminsters, and other noble millionaires. Their millions have only to lie by and gain more millions —a process which many fear may result in the contin gency suggested by the great Thelluson case ; from which it would require the momentary ascendancy of the Old English doctrines of the levellers to set us free. To such of the public as entertain these fears I may suggest at least one source of consolation—the Arkwright family is already a very numerous one. The four or five millions were broken up into Tnore than half-a-dozen portions. A few years more will see these divisions again divided, so that unless Masson mills, and the other factories belong ing to the family, should spin their golden thread faster than hitherto, two or three generations hence will find a numerous colony of the.Arkwrights, most of them blessed with moderate fortunes, but none of them rich enough to endanger the industrial or monetary stability of the kingdom.—Mornings al Mills, in the Daily News. sley Castic ty of its furnishi tainments fiend or man, :ht yield of life, r be shorn in every hear VARIETIES which may The Japanese have adopted being that on which the sword is I respect is paid land.

However, nothing serious was expected of him. On the 28th of May the unfortunate shepherd left with his sheep for the "run," and shortly after O'Connor quitted the hut with his horse, taking with him his blan ket, a double-barrelled gun and a double-barrelled pistol. In the evening the sheep returned without the shepherd, and fears were entertained as to his fate. Captain Bagot and others went in search of him, and having lighted a fire on a hill, previously firing a gun to frighten the wild dogs, they heard the bark of a dog, and proceeding in the direction of the sound Roberts' coat and a crook were found. The garment was spotted with blood. About 200 yards from where it was picked up was discovered the dead body of the missing shepherd, and a brief examination Ishowed that he had been murdered. There v wounds in his head and side, and murderous stabs as if .e bullet . were several wounds on the left side, four on the arm, and another under the nipple of the left breast in the region of the heart, while the lower portion of his face had been carried away by a musket-ball. Attention was then directed towards the murderer. A shepherd at a neigh bouring station heard two reports in the direction of where the body was picked up, and a man riding a horse was seen gallopine from the spot. His description fully answered that of O'Connor, who had absconded. Some days afterwards he was seen at a depot called Lake Bonney, and when told of the murder he seemed much agitated, and desired his informer not to take any notice of having seen him, as he would not like to be " pulled up." Having taken to the bush, it is supposed, for a few days, he on the 7th of June appeared on the highway, and made the following daring attack on the Gawler Town mail :—Disguised in a naval dress, with a blue handkerchief thrown over his face and a cabbage tree cap on his head, he rode up to the horses of the mail, and, presenting a double-barrelled pistol at the head of the driver, denianded his money and the mail bags. The driver, naturally much alarmed, made an attempt to get down, at the same time handing the reins to Mr. Duval, a passenger. The driver assuring him that he had no cash, he - tried his fortune with Mr. Duval. Having de manded his money, he answered that he had none, and at the same moment jumped to the ground with the reins Duval's head, and again insisted upon having his cash. Mr. Duval in a very cool manner regretted that he could not oblige him, and taking out his snuff-box asked the ruffian if he would take a pinch of snuff. He made no answer, and was apparently thrown off his guard by Mr. Duval's unconcerned demeanour. Mr. Duval then pre sented his assailant with a white pocket-handkerchief. He replied that he would not have it, and that Mr. Duval must take off his breeches. Mr. Duval replied that he had no pockets in his breeches, and, with a view of dis tracting his attention and seizing the pistol he was hold ing at his head, offered him a pocket compass. The ruse succeeded, the ruffian was thrown off his guard, and as he was taking the compass Mr. Duval made a snatch at the pistol and got hold of the stock. As soon as he found he had lost possession of the weapon, the robber spurred his horse and galloped off. Mr. Duval fired off one of the barrels at him, but missed. In the struggle the handkerchief dropped from his face, and Mr. Duval and the driver clearly saw his features. He also dropped his cap. Information being given of the attack,the whole district turned out in search of the robber. He was traced to the hills, where he robbed a hut of a coat and hat. At length his horse was seen standing outside of a public house, where he had sat down comfortably to a dinner. On being arrested he was instantly pinioned, and another double barrelled pistol loaded with ball, with a spring dagger attached, was found upon him. Being duly secured, he became very insolent to the officers, and chuckled the chase they had had after him, having rid den 180 miles over a very hilly country in 48 hours. He appeared very much chagrined at being captured, as he had determined to fight to the last. On being taken be fore the magistrates at Adelaide, his examination on the charges of murder, stopping the mail, and other offences, lasted several days; and more corroborative proo's being adduced, he was committed for trial on several charges. The apprehension and probable conviction of the con vict has caused no trifling satisfaction in the colony. While at large a general feeling of terror seemed to per vade all classes. THE REVENUE RETURNS, Little need be said of the Quarterly Account of the Revenue. The Ministerial journals prepared us several days since to find a considerable falling off in the produce of the quarter just ended. And these anticipations have been fully borne out by the event. Almost every branch of the revenue exhibits a considerable decline. The seve ral items are these : Customs, a decrease of Excise, a decrease of.. Stamps, a decrease of £1,389 184,234 179,719 . . Assessed Taxes, a decrease of. Property Tax, a decrease of. . , 16,444 46,142 But, with reference to the two principal items, the plea is set up that their falling-off arises mainly from the re ductions made in the last session in the two articles of bricks and stamps. This is, doubtless, a valid reason. Still, however, the general complexion of the account is unfavourable. There is more than a suspicion implied in it—there is almost a proof—that free trade is working very serious results, and results which may soon compel attention. We are now beginning a downward course, and to what length it will carry us no man can tell. Present prospects are grave—not to say alarming. The fall in the price of corn, and the rise or continued high price of cotton, are two circumstances which, if continu ing, must soon force the Government to attempt a re medy. The quarter upon which we are now entering may prove one of deep importance in the decision of many questirns whicn have long remainedin_dispute. The total decrease on the quarter is £427,928, or nearly half a million. There has been an increase of £3,000 in the post-office, and £6,825 in miscellaneous items, which, deducted from the total decrease, leaves a deficiency in the ordinary revenue of the quarter of £418,103. LAW INTELLIGENCE. It is stated in legal circles that a serious flaw has been discovered in the Counties Court (X5O) Extension Act, and that all the judgments delivered therein will prove invalid when brought before the superior courts. The County Court at Tewkesbury has decided that Mr. Feargus O'Connor is liable to all the contributions to the land scheme for the amount subscribed.

LORD BROUGHAM'S FlSHlNG.—Armstrong, one of Lord Brougham's natty in his late piscatorial exploit, has been fined £5 for illegal fishing. The Bristol Free Port Association, having accomplished its object of freeing the port from certain duties, has voluntarily given up its existence. A man was apprehended recently at Hallatrow, Somer setshire, whose house contained a large cart load of agri cultural implements that he had stolen. As an indication of an early approach of winter, the hills surrounding Holmfirth were on Saturday last slightly covered with snow. It is expected that the revenue returns will be so satis factory for the year that £900,000 will go towards the reduction of the national debt. An apple-tree belonging to Mr. George Lamb, of Pres ton, near North Shields, blossomed without leaves last spring. It is now fully leaved, and again in blossom. During the high wind, on Monday, four or five yards of the steeple of Horbury Church, near Wakefield, were blown down, and fell through the roof, injuring the organ very much. Mr. Shadlock, of Bolsover, is preparing an heraldic chair of carved oak for the Exhibition of 1851, comprising the coats of arms of the sovereigns of England from the Conquest to the present time. Oti Saturday the Great Central Gas Company of Lon don opened all their pipes, charged with pure gas, in about thirteen different parts of the city : all the pipes have been laid and charged without a single accident. At the Town-hall, Dorchester, on the 30th ult., Wm. Dowling, a private of the Bth Hussars, was charged with an attempt to. poison Corporal Michael Riley, of the same regiment. The prisoner was remanded. Mr. Trotter, of Bishop Middleham has sold his prize bull, " Sussex," to an agent of Baron Rothschild, at a great price.

Deceased has left a widow and two children. It is understood that since the Whittle Dean Water Company commenced pumping water from the Tyne, there has been a great diminution of the sand banks in the river, in the vicinity of the place whence their supply is obtained.—Newcastle Journal. The bullion in both departments of the Bank of England has decreased from £16,707,224 to £16,452,159, being a difference of £255,065: The paper in actual circulation has increased from £20,280,784 to £20,614,011, being a difference of £333,227. The importat ons of poultry of all kinds from Belgium are unusually large for the season of the year. The steamers from Ostend have brought in each instance con siderably more than TOO packages of every description of poultry, the production of Belgium. Mr. Hume has received a Bank of England note for X 5, collected amongst the English working men in St. Peters burgh, at one silver rouble each, towards erecting a work ing man's memorial to the late Sir R. Peel. The sub scription was exclusively confined to English workmen. The accounts of the sea serpent which have appeared in the Irish papers are now classed with the lowest nar ratives of fiction. The signatures appended to the letters are as false as the details which those signatures professed to authenticate. The inquest in reference to the murder of James Smith, the toll-bar-keeper at Hebden-bridge, has resulted in a verdict of wilful murder against some person or persons unknown. Green, the party suspected, is, however, still retained in custody. On Saturday, a woman named Prothero, at Langharne, Carmarthen, destroyed herself and child, aged eighteen months, in a mill pond. She was a married woman, and livedlhappily with her husband, but was subject to fits of despondency. The editor of the Plymouth Journal, who is opposed to Puseyism, was refused a ticket of admission, last week, into a Tractarian church about to be consecrated ; but he appeared personally and insisted on his right to enter the church when opened for worship. He ultimately suc ceeded. MODEL LODGING-HOUSES.—Lord Ashley presided at the annual meeting of the Glasgow Model Lodging-house, held on the 25th ult. It appeared from the report that the scheme will already pay six-and-a-quarter per cent. on the capital expended. The moral, religious, and sani tary results of the experiment were stated to be very satis factory.- Thj letters in the Morning Chronicle, on " Labour and the Poor," are to take a most extensive range. The special correspondents are to traverse the principal nations of Continental Europe, and even the United States, re porting, as heretofore, on the state of the labouring popu lations. It is announced that the foreign series will be commenced with France. A boy four years old, the son of Mr. Andsley, a leather dresser, near Leeds, fell into one of his father's tanpits, on Saturday week. He was speedily rescued by his fa ther, but not until he had swallowed a quantity of the liquid with which the tanpit was filled ; and from the poisonous effects of this liquid he died in a few hours afterwards. The man now in custody for the robbery of Mr. Cure toh was on Wednesday brought before Alderman Gibbs, and remanded for another week. He was identified in court as one of the men who about a month before at tempted to rob a gentleman by suffocatine him with the same sort of instrument that had so nearly proved fatal to Mr. Cureton. On Sunday week, a party of eleven persons left Bristol for an excursion to the Bristol Channel in a sloop-rigged boat. Owing to mismanagement, while on the return voyage, the boat shipped a large quantity of water, and eventually went down stern foremost, immersing all the passengers in the river. Seven of them were rescued by the customs' boat, which was providentially at hand ; the other four met a watery grave. One of them has left a widow and three children, and another two children to deplore their loss. REMARKABLE CIRCUMSTANCE.—In the year 1795, a female, who was cook to Mrs. Metcalfe, a widow lady, residing at the Porch House, (opposite the church,) at Northallerton, in cutting a turnip found in the heart of it a gold ring, and immediately made her mistress acquainted with so extraordinary a circumstance. The lady sent for Mrs. Wood, the gardener's wife. It turned out that- the ring found was Mrs. Wood's wedding ring, which she had lost, when weeding in the garden, ten or twelve years before. PRICES OF WHEAT.—The imperial weekly average price of wheat has, during the last six weeks, varied from 435. 6d. to 425. Bd. per quarter. The aggregate average during this period having been 435. per quarter. The aggregate average for the Michaelmas quarter has been declared by the Comptroller of Corn Returns at 425. 10d. The comparative averages from the Gazette of last Friday was 425. Bd. against 425. 4d. for the corresponding week of last year. The variations in prices, it thus appears, have been very trifling, and it is probable that this state of things may continue for some time longer. BELL-RINGING AT ROMAN CATHOLIC CHAPELS.—At the Marylebone Police-court, on Thursday, a gentleman residing in the neighbourhood of the Roman Catholic Chapel of the Spanish Ambassador, complained that the inhabitants of the district in which the chapel was situated were much annoyed of late by the incessant din kept up at different periods of the day by the ringing of a bell at this chapel. This bell-ringing now took place at all the daily services. He had understood it was not legal to ring bells at Roman Catholic chapels. Mr. Hardwick would look into the matter, and give an answer at a future day. On Sunday morning, at an early hour, a female som nambulist, in the state in which she had risen from her bed, was discovered in the New-road, London, parading, dancing, and acting in the most extraordinary manner. The police-constable by whom she was round had some difficulty in awakening her. On her return to conscious ness, he wrapped his great coat round her, and escorted her home. She burst into a fit of crying which lasted several hours. The somnambulist is a respectable young woman named Evans, who is subject to similar fits, but her rambles had always previously been confined to her own chamber, or dwelling-house. PROGRESS OF ROMANISM.—Extract from a letter, dated Rome, 3rd October.—" The hierarchy is restored to England, and twelve bishops created. Cardinal Wise man, archbishop of Westminster, with the administra tion of Southwark ; Dr. Waring, Bishop of Clifton, with the administration of Northampton ; Dr. Ullathorne, Bishop of Birmingham, with the administration of Not tingham ; Dr, T. J. Brown, Bishop of Shrewsbury, with the administration of St. David's ; Dr. George Brown, Bishop of Liverpool, with the administration of Salford ; Dr. Braggs, Bishop of Beverley ; Dr. Hogarth, Bishop of Hexharn ; Dr. Hendred, Bishop of Plymouth, &c. Last week John Campbell, a seaman, aged twenty three, was brought up at the Thames Police Court, charged with stealing a quantity of wearing apparel and other things the property of Philip Rumball, another seaman, residing at 33, Crown-street, Aldgate. The pri soner had been apprehended on the information of a young woman named Mackenzie, who was the principal witness against him. In the course of her evidence, however, she clearly inculpated herself, sobbing aloud. " I am guilty of the robbery ; I made the man do it !" She was im mediately placed in the dock with the tale prisoner. She appeared to be influenced by affection, the man being her lover. They were committed. THE NEW STAMPS ACT.—The stampers at Somerset house have been engaged for the last three weeks from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. (Sundays excepted), in preparing for the new act which came .into operation on Friday, reducing the stamp duties on mortgages, leases, conveyances, agreements, &c. The quantity of parchment sent in to be stamped has been so great that they have been obliged to have a special locality for the purpose, divided into departments for London and thelcountry districts. Dur ing the present week no less than 250,000 to 300,000 stamps, under the new act, have already been delivered to the parties, so as to enable them to have a portion to commence with it. It will be at least a month or six weeks before the present demands can be completed. THE GREAT BULL FROM NINEvEH.--=On Friday this valuable relic of antiquity was safely deposited in the British Museum. It is, considering the great lapse of time, in an extraordinary good state of preservation. It stands nearly 12 feet in height, and weighs upwards of 6 tons. The other antiquities from Nineveh were all safely delivered. INCREASE OF POOR-RATE.—The next poor-rate for this town will be increased to not less than 16d. in the pound. The last two or three rates have been collected with considerable difficulty, the tradesmen especially com plaining of the scarcity of money. Low-priced corn and high poor rates. equally the consequence of free trade, will soon have a marked effect upon towns like Doncaster. —Doncaster Chronicle. GREAT CHESS MATCH.—Arrangements are in progress for a great chess match, to be played by amateurs of all nations," during the Exhibition of 1851. The idea origi nated with Mr. Staunton, the first known player in the world; and the first to respond to it was a player at Cal cutta, who has forwarded a handsome subscription. It is proposed to have a number of " chess 'tournaments," the entries to be £5 each, and the first prize £5OO. Ano ther suggestion is, that the English chess clubs shall each send a champion player, with a moderate sum as entrance money, and the winner of the match to receive the prize, in the form of a handsome trophy in silver. _ . MURDER AT FRIMLEY. — ICissaid that a token, which might be mistaken for a penny, has been found on one of the men now in custody, and that Mrs. Holiest can iden tify it, having received it the day before from the village schoolmistress. The police superintendent had mea sured some footprints (of naked feet) which he had found on the gravel walk of Mr. Hollest's house. He found that one of them was 91 inches long by 31 inches wide, and the other 91. inches long by 31 inches wide. He had since measured the feet of two of the prisoners, Harwood and Trower, and found the dimensions to agree as nearly as possible. He had also picked up in the garden what seemed to be part of a stocking, and he found that the great toe of Harwood's right foot was much cut, as if by a flint. He also produced some burned paper, apparently the wadding of the fatal pistol, which had been found, together with an exploded cap, in the bedroom which was the scene of the murder. EXTRAORDINARY PEDESTRIAN FEAT.—A remarkable pedestrian feat has just been accomplished by Robert Pugh, one of the mountain guides at Dolgelly, in Merio nethshire, who performed the task of walking from that town to the top of Cader Tdris and back four times in 134 hours. The distance to the summit of the mountain is six miles, and the road is very steep and craggy, and, perhaps, one of the roughest and most toilsome in North Wales. Pugh started at 5 o'clock in the morning, and concluded his task at half-past 6 in the evening, having thus accomplished the four journeys 2i hours within the stipulated time, the wager, which was for the sum of £lO, being that he could not walk the distance in 16 hours. The weather was very wet and stormy, yet notwithstand ing this drawback, and the arduous toil of the four as cents, the guide did not appear in the least fatigued. The completion of the task was announced by a peal of bells. SHORTENING THE PERIOD OF CREDIT.—No person seems to suffer so Much from long credit as the trades- man. Farmers only give a fortnight's credit ; landlords only six months; clergymen get their incomes half yearly; all merchants and wholesale houses only give from two to six months' credit ; and why, in these times of reduced profit and competition, shopkeepers ALONE are to give twelve or eighteen months', and sometimes two years' credit, is most mysterious, and a thing that ought never to be expected. A move has recently been made in the right direction at Gainsborough, and also a preliminary meeting held at Retford on the subject; and it is to be hoped that the tradesmen of other towns will follow their example, and at once take the matter up. The generality of customers worth having only require a moment's thought about the thing to see at once the reasonableness of the change, and many persons, no doubt, would prefer paying half-yearly if they could have their accounts presented. WEST INDIA MAIL CONTRACT.—The particulars of the mail contract recently entered into between the Admiralty and the West India Steam-packet Company have just been printed. The West India and the Bra zilian form one contract, which is to commence on the Ist of January next, and to last eleven years. The com pany are to provide fifteen wooden steam vessels—ten of them are to be of 400, four of 250, and one of 60-horse power. They are to provide also a sailing vessel of 100 tons burthen. The company are to receive £270,000 a year from Government ; and the penalties to which they are liable are £50,000 for non-performance of the con tract, £5OO for not starting from Southampton at the proper time, and £2OO for not starting from any other port. In case of war they are to be.paid extra—that is, in the ev.mt of increase of rate of insurance, and of the freight of coals. But the extra pay is not to exceed, in one year, £75,000 SUNDAY EXCURSION TRAINS.—On Tuesday a public meeting was held at Bath, Mr. William Hunt, magis trate of the county in the chair. Several clergymen ad dressed the meeting, and resolutions were unanimously adopted condemning Sunday excursion trains : the effects of which in disturbing the quietude of the inhabitants, and demoralising the public, were graphically set forth by the various speakers. The Rev. E. To tenham thus de scribed a scene at Salisbury :—" Salisbury was turned into a bear garden, and ransacked, and every species of vehicle and place of entertainment filled. During the afternoon service many people forced their way into the nave of the cathedral—many of them in a most beastly state of intoxication, and every sort of revelry and vio lence took place in the walls of the sacred building, so much so that the bishop of the diocese, seated in his proper place at the choir, while service was going on, was actually obliged to expostulate with the persons who crowded the cathedral, and who caused the indecency and tumult. (Cries of shame, shame.)" THE BOARD OF INLAND REVENUE VERSUS THE NEWSPAPER PRESS. —We learn from the Wakefield Examiner, that a short time back the proprietor of that paper having been requested to throw off 2,000 copies, in the form of a hand-bill, of a report which they had given of a trial in the Consistory Court of Richmond, they ac cordingly did so, and the copies were delivered to the parties who had given the order, with the exception of 100, which were given to a stranger who had earnestly entreated to have them. This party turns out to have been either an informer or the agent of one, for in the course of a few days after, the proprietor of the journal was apprised by the Commissioners of Inland Revenue that he had incurred the penalty of £40,000, for evasion of the newspaper stamp duty, by printing an article of intelligence on unstamped paper. Ample explanations of the circumstance having been transmitted to the Com missioners, they said they should mitigate the penalty to £lO ; and on being asked to reconsider the hardship of the case, they ruled that if the £lO were not remitted within a week they would proceed for the whole amount. IRON SHIPS OF WAR.—An important experiment took place on Wednesday at Portsmouth, under the direction of the Lords of the Admiralty, and the immediate superintendence of Captain Chads, to test the efficiency of the Kamptulicon, as a lining for iron ships of war. Four 321 b. shots were fired from the battery of the Excellent, with a charge of 10Ibs. of powder, and a range of about 500 yards, against a large target lined with Kamptulicon ; the shots struck the target with nearly the same results as those described to have taken place at Woolwich in 1846, in which instance the shots were fired from the Ordnance guns. The previous experi ments at Portsmouth were to test the efficiency of tim ber as a lining between the angle irons, when it was found that the effect of shot was to add wooden splints, rather than to diminish those of iron. From the proper ties of the Kamptulicon it cannot splinter, and the pieces of it which are blown out by the force of the shot are pronounced to be harmless, whilst the greater portion of the iron splinters were retained. The views of Mr. Walter, at whose instance the experiment was tried, are not confined to iron ships. He says that the composition being a non-conductor, would remove the difficulty ex isting with regard to the frequent derangement of the compass. The question of its adoption of course rests with the Admiralty. DR. WISEMAN.—This leader of the Roman Catholics has been appointed a cardinal, and elevated to a new archiepiscopal throne in this realm, under the style and title of Archbishop of Westminster. This we learn through the:public papers, and it is worth while to read the rigmarole account given by "a Roman Catholic cor respondent in the Times, of all the ceremonies attendant upon the nomination of the new cardinals by the Pope,— such a puppet-show as was never seen, except at the pan tomime season, in a London theatre ; or as could only be fully represented by Madame Tussaud's wax-work nut in motion. All the correspondents" in Christendom may strive to commend this obsolete trash and antiquated mummery to the sterling common sense and religious convictions of the people of England. But "it won't do." The organs of raflectian and reasoning are too greatly de veloped in the Anglo-Saxon brain; and, besides this, there is a large veneration," which will keep us eter nally and invincibly repugnant to those " who make void the law of God by their traditions." As to the estab lishment of an Archbishopric of Westminster, by the Papal authority, in subordination to itself,—we can only say that its insolence equals its illegality, and that it is quite time for the Queen's Attorney-General to interfere. It is fortunate for us, and for her Majesty, that there is no Pretender in existence,—or we doubt not that he would be set up, by the same authority that has fabricated a pseudo-archbishop of Westminster ; and we are quite, sure that such an impostor would find numerous adherents among those who avow themselves anxious to destroy the supremacy of the throne. WRECK OF THE SHIP MARY FLORENCE.—This event was lately chronicled in the Standard. The vessel sailed from Shields for Aden. The name of her commander was Short, and he had his wife along with him, a lady from Blyth, Northumberland. The vessel was wrecked on Cape Guardafui on the 3rd of June, and several of the crew and Captain Short's wife perished through the base conduct of the native Arabs. The owners of the Mary Florence (Messrs. H. and C. Toulmin, London) have learned the names of those who perished with the Cap tain's wife—namely, Mr. Wishart, the second officer ; Samuel Williams and Thomas Jones, seamen. Those taken on board the Columbia were the chief mate, Junius Perkins ; steward, David Roberts, and John M'Kinnon. It is now ascertained that poor Mrs. Short, with the other sufferers, met their sad fate on the evening of the same day that they landed from the wreck. The natives stripped Mrs. Short of her rings, ear-rings, and other jewellery, and also took from her 120 sovereigns. She managed afterwards to free herself from them, and rushed down to the beach, where a portion of the crew were as sembled. They managed to get to the boat, and, although there were oars in it, at the earnest entreaties of Mrs. Short it, was determined to make an attempt to regain the ship. The boat was got off, but was swamped by the heavy surf, and the seamen who accompanied her met witli a watery grave. The spot where the ship was wrecked is on the same coast where the East India Company's steamer Memnon was lost some few years since. The Mary Florence was nearly 600 tons burden, and cost £12,000. She was partially insured at Lloyd's, DISGRACEFUL CONDUCT.--At the board of guardians in Marylebone Workhouse, on Friday, Mr. Churchwarden Bridgeman asked whether the report that a pauper dressed in a surplice officiated as clergyman during the chaplain's absence was true ? Langrage, a pauper, and clerk to the chaplain, having been sent for, gave the followin g vers i on of the affair : " During the absence of the chaplain, the gentleman appointed to act in his place absented himself on a Wednesday, when he should have performed Divine service for the paupers. After waiting some time, and the congregation betraying unequivocal symptoms of impa tience, I went to the master, and asked him if I should discharge the congregation. He replied, No,' and de sired me to put on the surplice and read prayers. (Laughter.) I accordingly put on the surplice (immense laughter), and proceeded to the chapel, mounted the desk, and read prayers. The congregation tittered while I was reading prayers." Mr. Bridgeman moved the in sertion of the occurrence on the minutes. (Hear, hear.) The motion was carried, and the guardians separated. TERRIBLE STORM AT NOTTINGHAM.—On Monday Nottingham was visited by a fearful storm of wind, which continued blowing upwards of sixteen hours. Shortly before one o'clock in the afternoon, whilst a number of people were standing in the market-place, looking at the exterior of Wombwell's menagerie, a tall chimney at the top of the house occupied by Messrs. Hopkinson and Welsh, grocers, was thrown down, and in falling carried along with it the greater portion of the roof, the front cornice, and a large quantity of lead, altogether weighing from two to three tons, which, with scarcely a moment's warning, fell heavily upon the pavement, knocking several people down, burying two persons, a youth and a young woman, among the debris. Th e y p rove d t o b e Willi am Morrell, aged 10 years, dead, having been crushed by a large sheet of lead falling upon him ; and a woman named Ellis. aged about 34, whose head is so severely lacerated that it is considered impossible she can recover. She is, moreover, suffering from concussion of the brain. The poor lad, Morrell, had hold of his father's hand at the time he was killed : and an elder brother stood on the other side of him. Both of them had their clothes and boots torn, and were bruised severely on various parts of the body. Numbers of other persons have been similarly hurt. ESCAPE OF Two CONVICTS FROM THE LEEDS Bo- ROUGH GAOL.—On Saturday last, it was discovered that two government convicts had escaped from the Leeds Borough Gaol. One is Richard Harrison, a man who was convicted of felony at the Yorkshire assizes last year, and sentenced to seven years' transportation ; and the other is Robert Shenton, aged 27, who was convicted of felony at the Stafford assizes, and sentenced to ten years' transportation. The former is 33 years of age, sft. 6in. high, with red hair and fresh complexion ; the latter is 27 years of age, sft. 9in. high, with hair inclined to be sandy, and is a native of Cheadle, near Manchester. The escape in both instances was effected by pulling out the windows of their cells, and cutting away the stone work into which the iron bars outside were secured. Both cells are in the upper story of the building, from which the prisoners lowered themselves down by means of ropes. The stone was cut away by a sort of needle used in mat making, which is thick as a small chisel, with a sharp point at the end ; and the ropes used were a part of what they employed in making up into matting. A very active search has baen made by the governor and his assistants all round the country, and a reward of £2O has been offered for the recapture of the runaways, but up to Monday afternoon nothing had been heard of them. Both these convicts escaped in their prison dress. FORTUNATE CAPTURR OF A BURGLAR.—A young man named Samuel Jones, describing himself as an engineer, was charged at the Birmingham Police Court, on Tuesday last, with breaking into the house of Mr. T. Hopps, the Malt Shovel, Coventry -street. From the evidence of Mr. Hopps and Police-constable, Smith (366), it appeared that about ;our o'clock on Tuesday morning, as the latter was on duty in Coventry-street, he turned into the back part of the prosecutor's premises, for the purpose of in specting whether all was right. He had no sooner turned on the light from his lantern than he saw a man jump off some coal where he was perched near the pantry window, and make a precipitate escape over a wall. The constable would have followed him, but perceiving with a hawk's eye that better game was in view, he mounted guard over the pantry, in which the prisoner was caged, and had evi dently only just begun his work of plunder, for a ham thrown out of the window was the only spoil. Near it were dep , slted some of his clothes, of which he had divested himself in order more readily to enter through such a small aperture into the house. The occupants were alarmed, and the policeman being admitted the pri soner was secured. He begged pardon, and pleaded hun ger as an excuse. Mr. Hopps having spoken to the - fact of the house having been left quite safe when the family retired to rest, the prisoner was committed to the assizes. —Birmingham Journal. STRANGE ACCIDENT TO LORD GIFFORD.—The report of a fatal accident having happened to this young noble man, while hunting, turns out to be a mere idle rumour, though the noble lord met with a singular adventure, for an account of which we are indebted to the Hereford Times :—" On Tuesday the Herefordshire hounds (Lord Gifford's) met at Trebandy, for the purpose of cub hunt ing. Directly they were thrown into cover a leash of foxes were on foot. After twenty minutes run they settled to one fox, and raced him a pretty burst over a country to ground in an earth pit overhanging a brook, Lord Gifford and his first whip being the only two up at the time. When his Lordship jumped off his horse to look at the earth and cheer his hounds, in a moment he was assailed by some hundreds of hornets which the hounds had disturbed from their nests in an old ash pol lard, attracted by his red coat. He was quickly obliged to rush up the opposite bank. Upon throwing down his cap, was immediately covered with hundreds of hornets. His lordship in the meantime had called off his hounds, and had desired the first whipper-in to gallop away with the horses for fear of their being stung, but not before he had got several bad stings on the back of his head, also his hands and back of his neck. After mounting his horse again the pain became so intense that it caused him to faint away, but after the "stings were extracted, and by the kindness of the gentlemen and farmers who were out he soon recovered, and was enabled to find another fox at Trebandy, and, after an hour's running, to kill him."

TOTAL WRECK OF THREE EAST INDIAMEN.—By the arrival of the overland mail the underwriters at Lloyd's were put in possession of information relative to the melancholy loss of three first-class ships employed in the East India trade, namely. the Manchester, 600 tons, bound for London ; the Ariadne, of Greenock, bound for Liverpool ; and the Nereid, 700 tons, of London. That of the Ariadne created the greatest regret, the intelligence of her loss leaving very little doubt that all hands, together with some passengers, had met with a watery grave. The unfortunate ship sailed from Calcutta for England in the latter part of July, with a valuable freight. About three weeks afterwards some vessel bound to Calcutta, in pas sing near Palmyras Point, on the Indian coast, discovered a wreck, which, on examination, proved to be that of the Ariadne. No living creature was seen to be on the wreck, or any other place near it, and she was fast breaking up. Immediately on the news reaching Calcutta, the authori ties despatched a government steamer to the spot, with instructions to search along the coast, to ascertain, if possible, the fate of the unhappy crew. A few hours before the mail started for England, the steamer re turned to Calcutta, with intelligence confirming the loss of the ship and cargo, and that grave doubts existed regarding the fate of those belonging to the ship. The chief mate of the Ariadne was picked up by the steamer off the coast forty miles southward where the ship was lost, where he had been carried on a spar. The poor fellow was in a shocking state of exhaustion. He had been twelve days exposed, subsisting entirely on some berries. As far as could be gleaned from him it appeared that the master and crew had been carried out to sea on a raft in a gale of wind. The steamer went in search, and after several days cruising about were unable to gain the slightest tidings, and returned to Calcutta. It is reported there were from thirty to forty persons on the raft, and from the violent state of the weather when it was driven out to sea, it is doubtful if she weathered it.
