After traversing many districts, known to have been once fertile, but now waste and desolate, under the withering rule of Islam, the traveller cannot persuade himself that even a spot like this has not lost some of its charms, and will say, " How delightful this little valley, still so beautiful, must have been in Lesbian times !" Yet here I could not dis cover any memorial of the Hellenic race, except a large stone, bearing a relief of a pair of wreaths and an urn. Over one of the wreaths were the letters Odamos : the corresponding inscription of the other is defaced ; but no doubt it was the Doric Abolla.—Literary Gazette. QUEER CALCULATION.—Some singular genius has perpetrated the following calculations, which we think will do :—I have been married 32 years, during which time I have received from the hands of my wife three cups of coffee each day, two in the morning and one at night, making about 35,040 cups of half a pint each, or nearly 70 barrels of 30 ciallons each, weighing 17,5201b5., or nearly nine tons weight. b Yet from that neriod I have scarcely varied myself in weight from 1601135. It will, therefore be seen that I have drunk in coffee alone 218 times my own weight. lam not much of a meat eater, yet I presume I have consumed about eight ounces a day, which makes 5,8061b5., or about ten oxen. Of flour I have consumed, in the 32 years, about 50 barrels. For 20 years of this time, up to 1831, I have drunk two wine glasses of brandy each day, making 900 quarts. The port wine, madeira, whiskey. punch, &c., I am not able to count, but they are not large. In champagne I have been extremely moderate, as I find from my bills that I have paid for 53 baskets in the last 13 years, which is about one bottle a week, and this is not all consumed by me. When we take into the account all the vegetables in ad dition, such as potatoes, peas, asparagus, strawberries, cherries, apples, pears, peaches, raisins, &c., the amount consumed by an individual is most enormous. Now, my body has been renewed more than four times in 32 years ; and taking it for granted that the water, of which I have drunk much, acts merely as a dilutant, yet, all taken to gether, I conclude that I have consumed in 32 years about the weight of 1,100 of 1601bs. each.—Paris paper. FRENCH LF.AvE.—The terrible journey of the whole of the Paris rabble to Rambouillet alarmed every man in the country who had a home to love, a wife to cherish, or nner was property to preserve. There were multitudes who had not forgotten the butcheries enacted during the first revo lution, and the character of the Ranabouillet procession was such as to give great cause for uneasiness and anxiety. I shall never forget the preparations in Paris for that march of the mob. Every description of vehicle, both public and private, was seized by the common people. No permission was asked, no vested interests were re garded ; possession was not merely " nine points of the law." but the whole of the law, with those who resolved to repair to Rambouillet, in order to drive from the shores of France the descendants of St. Louis. I remember I was amongst the victims, for whilst proceeding across the Place Louis Seize my cabriolet was surrounded by twenty armed ruffians, but they politely directed me to descend. I remonstrated. Ii was as useless to preach order and peace to the roaring billows. "Il faut descen dre." was the only reply that reached me. " Your name ?" as - (elwiAspector, or chief of the rebels. I replied by stating it. " Your address, age, and profession, or occu pation ?" I was also asked, and my replies were as laconic as the questionss which were propounded. " Your ca briolet and horse shall be returned to you within eight days," said the chief, and three fellows, each armed with a gun and a sword, jumped into the vehicle, and left me disgusted and perplexed. What mattered this to them ? They struck up the first stanza of the "Marseillaice" as they rattled off in double quick time up the Avenue de whilst I tried to hum my old favorite consoler of " Begone, dull car, !"—Fraser's Magazine. PRIESSNITZ, THE WATER DOCTOR.—I immediately started for Grafenberg, and saw the clerk of the estab lishment, who said there was but one room, vacated that very morning, in Priessnitz's own establishment. I im mediately engaged it, and found that I had been very for tunate in getting it, as some Englishmen, who came here six weeks ago, are in a room with seven others. The room I have got is very good ; well furnished but plain. I supped at the establishment the evening I arrived. I was introduced to a German gentleman, who told me that he had been affected just like myself, and that he was per fectly cured in three months. He introduced me to Priessnitz. He is most benevolent looking. He looked very hard at me, and said he would be with me at seven in the morning to see me go into my bath. This is his pulse. lam now going through the full treatment, baths of all kinds. The douche is a body of water ai thick as my arm, falling from about twenty feet; it is somthing like paving stones falling upon you, but it stirs up the cir culation briskly. In Priessnitz's own establishment there is the advantage of a fine large bath, and being close to the eating hall. There are a great many English here, who say they have derived the greatest benefit; there is also an Irish doctor, who says he would not take £5,000 for the benefit he has received in six weeks. There are some here who think that the living is not good ; but I do not think so at all. The meat is not, certainly, so good as in England ; but I scarcely ever saw it better in Italy. The milk and butter are excellent. There are also good strawberries for breakfast. There are splendid walks and fountains throughout the mountains ; the fountains are all named, and there are finger-posts pointing them out, so that by taking a glass of water at each, you get a long walk. The scenery all round is beautiful ; the mountains not very high, but covered with wood to the top. The weather is very fine ; but Priessnitz says the cure goes on better in cold weather. He has become ex ceedingly mild in his treatment lately, so that the cure goes on slower, but, they say, more sure. At present I cannot give an opinion as to the system ; but it would be hard to persuade any one, that the people you saw at din ner were all diseased in some way or another, did you not know it from the best authority. The English that have been here a long time are more enthusiastic about Pries snitz than even Captain Claridge. I have even heard it said that he is inspired; he certainly divines diseases in a most extraordinary manner. He desires me to eat and work like a peasant : to be always in the open air ; but to avoid the sun. After breakfast I saw and chop wood, and walk a great deal.—Correspondent of the Cork Southern Reporter. he had some friends in ever d, on my producing it, receive ne course of the evening he told go to Pekin in three or four then send for me ; that in the spored with him, whether I re rned to England ; that if Taou- Auld giv ighest honour in China tion and much dis- try, bu in, I presented his I and belt, whi 1 Malcolm to bring f f sending to him, and w He immediately A arm n ght, and I th it on whilst shoulders his own upper lade of silk that had been Kielong to his (Keying's) Linister.

SELECTIONS --THE SCULLERY •M MD.—The scut _ g enerally the youngest, and in occupation too allow of much decision on what her future charac- Jay be. She is always in a heat and a hurry, resig , herself to a kind of mechanical obedience, and fol .swing out one order till a succeeding one calls her in a totally different direction. Her gown is of cotton blue, and she wears 'a high pinafore, with worsted stockings, thick shoes, and hair not over tidy. She is scolded by the cook for being " daft." by the kitchenmaid for bein g dull, eepe b r y f the shoeboy for being pert, and by the house dirty. The toles we beingt - housemaid is her only friend, , never o fi inelude the mistress herself, who, at all events of the sme ar ofnds her idle.

On Thursday last, workmen commenced taking up the old pavement in the Old Shambles, Preston, and they are now busily engaged in preparing for the wooden blocks. The staff of the League, with Mr. Cobden at its head, left Manchester on Saturday morning for Salisbury, to meddle with the election there. WIGAN MUNICIPAL ELECTION.—The triumph of the Conservatives in this borough is again complete. Con servatives, 10 ; Radicals, 0. THAMES NAVIGATION.—There landed and embarked during the summer, at the Red House-pier, Battersea fields, 121,237 persons, besides children in arms. Mr. Peter Nichol, of the Leazes, Newcastle, bird-fan cier, has this year made the novel importation of two hundred of that handsome bird, the Goldfinch. James Chadwick, Esq., elected Boroughreeve of Man chester, on the 18th October, having refused to serve, has been fined £5O, and Wm. Wanklyn, Esq., elected in his THE TEA TRADE, Oct. 30.—The deliveries last treek were rather smaller, being 438,5091 b. The trade since the conclusion of the public sales has been quiet, at the re duced prices then established. Last week, Master S. L. Hilton, aged fifteen, a student at the Military College, Sandhurst, was killed by a blow on the head, received from a fellow• student, when flourish. ing his stick at play, in the game of hockey. THE BOY JONES.—The boy Jones, who so often broke into Buckingham Palace, is on board the Warspite. Having lately attempted to desert, he was detected, and received a severe flogging. The principal Banks in Newcastle-upon-Tyne have re duced their rate of discount on bills not having more than three months to run to four per cent ; and their rate of interest on deposits to two and a half per cent. THE LATE GALES. — Four bodies from some of the wrecks on the Southport coast were washed up on Mon day night last. One of the vessels was a coaster from Ireland. The first cabinet dinner since the prorogation of parlia ment, which was to have taken place at the residence of Sir James Graham, in Hill-street, Berkeley Square, on Wednesday next, is postponed until Wednesday the 15th. The last stone of the tower of the new Royal Exchange, London, was set by the contractor on Monday last, on which occasion all the workmen were entertained, and some bottles of champagne were drunk at the top of the scaffold, in honour to such completion. We are gratified in being able to state that her Majesty's Custom-house officers at this port have been more busily engaged during the last 15 or 20 days than for several years past. The increased activity is more especially ob servable in the import trade.—Hull Herald. EXTRAORDINARY TRIAL.—The week before last the trial of twenty-two thieves, for the perpetration of no less than fifty-seven robberies, took place in Paris. They were found guilty, and sentenced to hard labour at the hulks for periods var3ing from thirty years to four years. A few days ago. Mr. Beaumont, a highly respectable solicitor, at Warrington, forwarded a £lOO note in the course of business, and, as it has never reached its desti nation, it is supposed that it has been lost in the Liver pol Postoffice.—Chester Chronicle. The Bombay Times, of the 29th of July just come to hand, contains a curious and elaborate calculation, made by one of the Hindoo pupils of the Elphinstone College, in which, not only the absurdity, but the impossibility, of Mr. Henson's aerial ship, is mathematically demonstrated. The stock of bullion held by the Bank of England dur ing the four weeks ending the 14th of October was £12,086,000, showing a decrease of £164,000, as compared with the preceding month ; and an increase of £2,285,000 as compared with the corresponding period of last year. THE SLAVE TRADING CASE.—On Monday last Mr. Zu luetta was again brought up, and after the examination of se veral witnesses, wbo gave the prisoner a most excellent character, and the summing up of Mr. Justice Maule, the jury after a consultation of nearly two hours found the prisoner not guilty, an announcement which was re ceived with loud clapping of hands, which could with dif ficulty be suppressed. Lloyd's Shipping List contains fearful evidence of the destruction to life and property caused by the late gales. Not less than sixty total or partial wrecks are recorded under date October 28 and 29, and the loss of life, though nat yet ascertained with accuracy, will we fear prove to be great. FOUR MEN DROWNED.—IsIay, OCt. 23.—0 n Friday night last, four young men, belonging to Bowrnore, were drowned in Lochindaul. They were out at the fishing all day, and towards evening the wind being south-west, blew very high, and it seems that the boat, when comiag home, was upset. KENDAL ELECTION.—The contest for this Borough is expected to be a close one, the canvass of Mr. G. Ben tinck, the Conservative candidate, being a very favourable one, and the Quaker electors of Kendal being a good deal annoyed at the exposure of Mr. Warburton's electioneer ing tricks at Bridport. The reports of the Municpal Elections in various parts of the country, show that, generally speaking, much less interest is taken in these contests, than used to be the case. In some instances however, much spirit has been displayed ; and the Conservatives have been the victors in the majority of cases. On Wednesday, while the great bell of the cathedral of Notre Dame was being rung, the clapper gave way, and the enormous mass fell down through two floors of the tower and lodged at the third. Three persons were in jured, and one of them, a ringer named Mazarin, so much so in the head, by a splinter from the scaffolding, that it was necessary to carry him immediately into the hospital of the Hotel Dieu. BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, Nov. 3.—Our raw sugar market continues with animation ; and purchases are only made for immediate purposes, but we have no alte ration to notice in prices, which continue steady at from 565. to 675. from very low brown to good bright grocery descriptions. Average price of sugar, Oct. 31, is 345. lid. per cwt. It is not generally known that Mr. Cobden, M.P., re• ceived his education at an academy at Bowes, for the " board, clothing, and tuition" of young gentlemen, kept by the late Mr. Clarkson, where he gave promise of con siderable talent. The Bowes schools have since been im mortalised in the faithful and graphic narrative of " Nicholas Nickleby" from the pen of Mr. Dickens. EXTENSIVE FIRE.-At midnight on Thursday, the Roodee Paper Mill, near Chester, was discovered to be on fire. In an hour the whole front range was in one con tinuous flame, and the mill with a large quantity of paper was destroyed, but the foundry adjoining was saved. The damage is estimated at several thousand pounds, but the property is insured. A poor mechanic at Bristol, of the name of Bacon, has nvented a pump and fire-engine, which, for compactness and power, is unique. It draws water at 22 feet from the surface, and throws to a great distance. Its cost is about £2O, and it possesses an hydraulic power equal to a large engine worth £l7O or £lBO. An experiment was made last week in the presence of several scientific men, and gave satisfaction. FATAL EXPLOSION.—On Friday week a terrific explo sion took place at the manufactory of Mr. J. Merr ix, at Birmingham, an occasional maker of fireworks. No cause a n be assigned for it, but Mr. Merrix, his wife and assist ants, were engdged in making those articles at the time. Nine persons were conveyed to the hospital, and three of these, including a son of Mr. Merrix are already dead, and the lives of others despaired of. On Wednesday, being the commencement of the regu lar hunting season of her Majesty's staghounds, there was a brilliant meeting at Salthill. Upwards of two hundred horsemen were present, among whom were the Noble Master of the Buckhounds, Viscount Seaham, and many of the officers of the Life and Foot Guards, General Wemyss, and a number of gentlemen from town, who came with their horses, by the Great Western Railway. THE PEGASUS.—An application for a rule calling upon the coroner of Berwick-upon-Tweed to return into court the inquisition which had been held before him on the body of a person named William Milne, one of those drowned in the late wreck of the Pegasus on Holy Island, was made at the Bail Court, London, on Tuesday. The object was, that the inquisition might be quashed, upon several grounds which were stated. The application was granted. FORGERY.—Mr. Thomas Walker, an attorney residing at Dewsbury, near Wakefield, has been committed fur trial at the York assizes,charged with having twice forged the signature of Mr. M. B. Bere, one of the commission. ers of the Leeds District Court of Bankruptcy, to a pro tecting order given to an insolvent who had employed the prisoner to get him through the Leeds District Court of Bankruptcy, and for which the latter had given the pri soner a sum of money in advance.—London paper. REVERSE OF FORTUNE.—The brother of the late King of Hayti appeared before the Lord Mayor, last week, to ask his influence with the press and the public to procure him charitable relief. His brother had left him funds in the Bank of England, which his brother's Queen and widow had carried off to Turin. He had married a rich lady in Hayti, whose property was destroyed by the late earthquake, as his own influence was by the insurrection which followed, and he had no resource but an appeal to charity. DETERMINED SUICIDE OF A YOUNG LADY.-011 Tuesday evening a young lady, named Clarina Graham, twenty-two years of age, committed suicide by cutting her throat, at her residence, 94, Beresford-street, Walworth. road. The deceased was living with two sisters and two nephews/ Her mother had recently died, and her father was abroad. The loss of one parent, and the absence of the other, together with a reduced station in life, are sup posed to have led to the commission of the melancholy act. THE ROBBERY OF A CHAPEL BURIAL GROUND.— On Wednesday, at the Central Criminal Court, London, Isaac Bridgman and John White Bridgman, his son, were indicted for stealing a body from the burial-ground at tached to St. John's Chapel, in West-street, Walworth. The elder prisoner was the Minister of the chapel, and the younger one, h's son, who was 17 years of age, and was studying for the medical profession. The elder pri soner was acquitted, and the younger one was sentenced to twelve months imprisonment. WILL OF ALDERMAN WOOD. - The will and codicil of Alderman Sir Matthew Wood, late M.P. for the City of London, have just been proved in Doctors' Commons, by B. Wood, Esq. (the brother), and W. P. Wood, Esq. (the son), the executors. The deceased gives to his wife, Dame Maria Wood, the furniture, plate, pictures, china. carriages, wines, spirits, and £5OO per annum for life, He directs £20,000 to be invested in the funds, and the interest to be paid to the Rev. J. P. Wood. The pro perty is sworn under £70,000. DEATH OF LORD RODNEY.—We have to announce the death of Lord Rodney. The noble lord expired at Ber rington-hall, his seat in Herefordshire, on Monday last. The deceased was second son of George, second Lord Rodney, and brother of the late peer, whom he succeeded in 1841. He was horn on the 12th of April, 1794, and was unmarried. The title now devolves upon his nephew, Robert Dennett Rodney, son of the Hon. Captain Robert Rodney, Lieutenant in the Scots Fusileer Guards, born in May, 1820. FATAL ACC IDENT. — Yesterday evening week, a most melancholy accident happened to three men in the employ of Mr. Butt, of Pertwood Farm, Wilts, attended with the loss of two lives and a third person much injured. On ,descending a hill with a waggon, about three miles from Mere, the driver, walking by the side of his horses, stum bled and fell. The other two immediately leaped out of the waggon to his rescue, and were knocked down and killed on the spot. The driver saved his life, but with broken limbs. SALISBURY, Nov. 3.—A public meeting was held here yesterday, to further the project of a railway communica tion between Salisbury and London, by means of a branch line, to join the South-Western Railway, at Bishopstoke. The statements submitted to the meeting were of a satis factory character, and an estimate prepared by Mr. Locke fixed the co,t of the line at less than £250,000, whereas a former estimate when a similar project was in contennpla_ tion, was put at £400,000. The meeting was unanimous in support of the measure. MURDER.—A murder was committed in this town on Thursday afternoon. Between 2 and 3 o'clock, a report got abroad that Mr. Wilson, wife of Thomas Wilson, spirit-dealer, Springkell-street, had died very suddenly under suspicious circumstances. The report unhappily proves correct, as it is rumoured that her throat presents marks of strangulation ; and her husband, on whom the suspicion rests, and who, we beleive, made no attempt t o escape, was immediately committed to prisou. The un happy woman was seen at the shop-door a few minutes before she met her untimely fate.—Greenock Advertiser. Loss OF THE FRANCIS, OF LONDON.-011 the 29th ult., the brig Francis, of London, Joseph Parker, master, of 135 tons register, and six men, at four p.m., was found to be in a sinking state about thirty-five miles off Tyne mouth, the greater part of her ballast washed away, and pumps choked. At nine a.m. the brig Esk, of Newcastle, hove in sight. At ten a.m. she hoisted a signal of dis tress ; got the long-boat out, and the whole of the crew, at great risk of life, went on board the Esk. The Francis shortly after went down in about 50 fathoms water, every effort to save her having failed. ROYAL PATRONAGE OF THE PRESS.—On Saturday last, while the engine was being attached to the train at Paddington, the following incident occurred :—Her Ma jesty, on seating herself in the royal saloon, perceived at some distance a person who i s p r i v il ege d t o a tt en d th e terminus with newspapers, and directed that he might be called, for the purpose of procuring one. Much amuse ment was created by the reluctance of the man to approach royalty ; he was literally forced along, to within ten yards of the saloon door, where he stood stock still. Some of the papers were then pulled from a large stock he had under his arm, and presented to the Queen, from which her Majesty selected a sporting paper and another.-ob server. THE SELF-PRIMING GUN.—Messrs. Needham. the gun makers, of 26, Piccadilly, London, have recently ob tained a patent for an improvement in percussion locks, by which the caps are, by the motion of the lock, placed at once, and without the trouble of putting them on the nipple, as in common percussion locks, with the fingers, n a small cavity beneath where the nipple generally i s , and there held fast till exploded on pulling the trigge r , The contrivance further provides, th a t di rec tl y one cap is . exploded it is forced from its cavity, and another cap in stantly takes its place. The caps are contained in a hollow groove along the side of the stock, which grove is covered with a small plate of brass, which does not in crease the bulk nor render the stock unsightly. The groove holds sixty caps. which lie in it in such a way that it is an impossibility for them to stick in or block up the passage to the lock, and there is a small and simple instrument to feed or replenish the groove or reservoir when empty. SALE OF Two ISLANDS.—On Tuesday two islands, named Rasey and Bona, situated in the Hebrides, were sold by auction at the Auction Mart. They were for many years the property of the M'Leods, of Rasay, and com prise about 18,000 acres. The net value of the estate, in cluding the mines and the timber, was about £73,000. There were 52 farms, the rent arising from which was about £1,200. They were capable of rapid improvement, in consequence of the facilities of communication from them to the metropolis, the journey now being completed in less than 36 hours. The estate was put up at 20,000 guineas, and eventually knocked down at 35,000 guineas. MURDER IN THE ISLE OF MAN.—On Saturday week, a man by the name of Thomas Cowley, of Baldwin, who has for twelve months betrayed symptoms of aberra tion of mind, murdered his wife in the following man f ner :—lt appeared that on that day be was about leaving home as usual, when his wife followed and endeavoured to prevail on him to return, and on his approach to her he took up a large stone and threw it with such violence at her head as to cruse an extensive fracture of the skull, of which the unfortunate woman died on Tuesday morn ing last. On Wednesday an inquest sat upon the body, when the jury brought in a verdict of " Wilful murder against Thomas Cowley."—Manx Sun. HER MAJESTY'S SHIP RATTLER.—A trial trip has been made in the Thames of this vessel, which has been fitted with Smith's Screw Propellor, when some of The Lords of the Admiralty and Captains of the Navy, as well as scientific men accompanied her. The result was highly satisfactory as to the powers of the screw as a propellor; and the advantages of its application to war-steamers were admitted as allowing a whole broadside of guns, in addi tion to two long ones generally now placed on steamers' decks, to be carried. This is the first ship of war to which the screw has been applied. The arrangement of the machinery, size of screw, &c., have been made under the directions of Mr. Brunel. SINGULAR DISCOVERY. —We understand that the workmen employed in pulling down an old dwelling-house at Gotham, in this county, to their great surprise, found the probate copy of the will of a man named Burrows, who had resided there many years ago, he having owned the property. It was found stuck between two walls in the staircase. This same property has been long held by Earl Howe, in consequence of the inability of the parties to make any title to the same; but it is now conceived that his lordship will, upon a pedigree being produced, and the title of the heir-at-law established (who, we hear, resides in Nottingham), readily relinquish the possession. —Nottingham Journal. CURIOUS REMEDY.—A few days ago, a carrier's horse having got disabled and become useless, from a sprain or luxation, its owner resolved on finishing its career, and accordingly it was taken to the jetty at the pier, and corn tufted to the "vasty deep." In place of submitting to be carried to sea, the animal speedily gc.t to land, and was subjected to a second plunge from the jetty, from which it again came to land, but completely restored in its dis ordered limb. The horse was then taken to its old quar ters, and has since wrought as well as ever. It is proba ble that the efforts which the horse made in swimming reduced the dislocation, but as to the real cure, we must refer it to the learned in such matters.—Rosshire Adver tiser. The village of Cotherstone, which is situated in a pic turesque and romantic part of Teesdale, a little below the junction of the Baulder with the Tees, and so long famed for its very rich cheeses, and for the custom which is said to have prevailed there of " christening calves ;" and lat terly for having supplied the name of Mr. Bowes's tamed race-horse ; is now rapidly rising into notice as a colony of the Society of Friends. A. number of Quakers have been long settled there, who chiefly follow the simple and rural occupation of agriculture ; now it is becoming the abode of numbers of wealthy members of that religious body on retiring from business. At present a very elegant mansion in the Gothic style of architecture is erecting on the banks of the Baulder, for Francis Gibson, banker of Saffron Walden, Essex. AGRICULTURAL FIRES IN SURREY.—There were three instances of incediarism raging at one time on Thursday night the 2d. The first was at Park Farm, occupied by Mr. Harwood. Very soon after another farm-yard, very near the former and in the same occupation, burst out in a blaze, and one of the engines was sent in that direction, but so rapid was the combustion that the whole was soon in flames, and several horses and hogs perished. The same evening a large barn close to the public-house at East Clandon was on fire, and application made at Guild ford for the engines, which could not be complied with, as all of them were away at the two first mentioned fires. There can be no doubt as to the character of these fires, there was one last week about half a mile from the two first-mentioned, and an attempt the week befora. FLOOD IN THE IRWELL.—On Saturday evening week, in consequence of the heavy rain, the water in the river Irwell rose to a considerable height above its ordinary level, and came down with such force as to wash away a stage erected by Messrs. Pauling and Henfrey, contrac tors, at Hunt's-bank, Manchester. The balks forming the stage floated down the river in one raft, with great velocity and force, and came in contact with one of the uprights supporting the temporary foot-bridge at the end of Bridge-street, communicating with Salford. The re sult of the concussion was, that the upright or supporter was broken in two near the middle, leaving the bridge unsupported for about sixty feet ; but, in consequence of the precautions taken, no person was suffered to pass over the bridge. Another wooden temporary bridge is to be immediately erected, and the loss to the contractors will be about £2OO. WEgLEYAN COMMITTEE ON EDUCATION.—The Special Committee appointed by Conference to consider the subject of day schools, was summoned to meet in London on Tuesday last. We perceive from the fifth report of the Wesleyan Committee on Education, presented to the last Conference by the able secretary, the Rev. Robert New ton, that the day schools of the Wesleyans, as well as their Sunday schools, are yearly on the increase. The following is the return :—Boys' Day Schools, 141 ; Girls' Day Schools, 121 ; Infant Schools, 28 ; making a total of 290 Day Schools, with 20,804 Scholars ; and 3797 Sunday Schools, with 401,383 Scholars; making a grand total of 4037 Schools, with 422,187 Scholars. The whole present ing the following summary, viz.:— Increase of Day Schools Increase of Sunday Schools ....... . 242 Total Increase of Schools Increase of Day Scholars....

On Monday night last, the ship Andromache, Hunter, of this port, having arrived in the Humber from Quebec, with a cargo of timber and deals, during the heavy squall swung across the current—capsized, and, falling on her larboard beam ends, engulphed the mate, steward, and seven of the crew in their berths under the hatches. A foreigner, named Henry Horsens, w en t over w i t h t h e s hi p, and was not seen again ; a similar fate attended the steward, who is supposed to have been washed out of the cabin window, as he got out of his berth. Some men afterwards boarded the wreck, proceeded to cut through the starboard side of the forecastle deck, almost the only part then above wa ter; and, by this means, seven men were extricated from their perilous situation in the forecastle ; but the eighth, a youth of sixteen, named George Revell, was unhappily drowned in his berth before the assistance from the Bee arrived. The wreck, being timber laden, retained the same position until about nine o'clock the next morning, wher, having been in some degree moved by a river boat, it righted ; and, being taken in tow by the Eagle, steam tug, was brought safely into port with comparatively less damage than could have been expected. It was then found that the mate, Charles Ross, aged 35, and the youth, George Revell, 16 years, had been drowned in their berths.—Hull Rockingham. PRESENT STATE OF THE IRON TRADE.—The furnaces stated in the following paper have been blown in since the 25th of September, and if about six more are added to this number, it will include all that are likely to be put in operation in Staffordshire until some further and consid erable improvement takes place in the price of iron. It will be no slight temptation that will induce parties to incur the expense of opening the mines which the recent pressure on the trade has had the effect of shutting up. The make of iron in South Staffordshire is not likely to be, therefore, materially increased. The late advance is well supported, and the demand appears sound and free from any speculative character ; indeed, some of the stocks which have been recently purchased with this object are being re-sold for consumption : FURNACES IN SOUTH STAFFORDSIRE BLOWN IN SINCE Name of Work.

POUTER'S PATENT ANCHORS.---The great loss of pro perty and life by the late gales on the coast has directed attention to the consideration of the various means and appliances which may be rendered more efficient than they have hitherto been to prevent or mitigate such cala mities. Amongst other matters, it has been observed, many of the wrecks that have occurred on the coast arose from the efficiency of the ground tackle upon a lee shore, which naturally leads to the inquiry how it happens that so large a proportion of our mercantile navy still continue to be defectively found by their owners in this rerpect, when the means of improvement is now well understood, and can be applied with scarcely any increase of expense. On reverting to the accounts of the disasters which have been reported si nc e th e ga l e o f last Wednesday week, it instances will be seen that, i n the grea t majority of where vessels were driven ashore, the catastrophe might have been cap re v l e e s n toend theif t h m e o y s h t a i d m been v epdr plan Fa e n r found i y n pr o p o w r t i o h n a t n o c t h o o n r n s a a g n e d .

THREE THOUSAND POUNDS STOLEN.—One of the most daring and extensive robberies whieh has occurred in Yorkshire for many years was on Thursday last com mitted in the piece -room in Bradford, belonging to Messrs. Birchall and Sons, merchants, of Leeds. It appears that Messrs. Birchall brought with them on Thursday's market upwards of £3OOO, wrapped up in a parcel, which one of the partners locked up in a drawer until he went to his dinner, leaving a young man in the room. The man im mediately after went to his own dinner, leaving the key in the door, in the expectation of the cart arriving in the meantime with some pieces. Mr. Birchall himself re turned in a short time, and found that the lock of the drawer had been picked, and the money taken away. The warehouseman was taken into custody on suspicion, but no case was made out against him, and he was discharged on bail. He is the son of a poor, but honest labourer at Wibsey. It is a matter of surprise that so large a sum of money should have been left by Mr. Birchall, under such circumstances. ALARMING FIRE AND Loss OF LIFE.—On the even ing of Monday last, about six o'clock, two boys were sent to draw a flagon of naptha from a cask on the ground floor of the weaving shop adjoining the Union Mills, near Douglas, Isle of Man. By some mischance the spi rit caught fire, and the boys having given the alarm, the three partners, Mr. William Dalrymple, Mr. Thomas Maltby, and Mr. James Kelly, hastened to the spot, and every attempt, without effect, was made to extinguish the flames. Ultimately the cask exploded, at the same time forcibly closing the door, and confining the whole of the parties engaged in the attempt to extinguish the flames within the room. Fortunately the door was forced open, and all the parties, with two exceptions, escaped. Mr. Dalrymple and Mr. Kelly were severely, though not dan gerotts'y injured. We regret, however, to state that two of the parties, Mr. Thomas :Maltby, and Thomas Quayle, the foreman, perished in the flames. Their bodies were not found till next morning, and then they could only be identified by part of a watch being found beside the re mains of Mr. Maltby, and part of a wooden-soled clog be side those of Mr. Quayle. The whole of the weaving shop was burnt to the ground. A SCENE IN HIGH LIFE.—Lord Melbourne, who is spending the autumn in comparative privacy at Melbourne Hall, Derbyshire, has latterly given a ball on several even ings each week, for the entertainments of his servants, and such of their acquaintance as they thought proper to invite. On a recent occasion of the kind, some of the principal servants, conceiving that it was inconsistent with the dignity conferred upon them by the elevated si tuations which they held to mix with the coachmen, housemaids, and other inferior dependants of the esta blishment, resolved to "divide the house," and thus pre serve their dignity and " caste." For carrying this reso lution into effect, they laid claim to the musicians engaged for the occasion, and consequently left the others without a piper to dance to. This circumstance led to a regular fracas, in which the relative positions of the parties were changed in double quick time, the "upper" servants be coming the " lower," and vice versa. At this moment the affair assumed a very serious aspect, and but for the timely appearance of the steward of the household, who drove the whole party out of the room, it is impossible to conceive what might have been the consequences.—Not tingham Review. TRANSPORTATION.-It will be recollected that about a year ago the Rev. Stephen Aldhouse, M.A., lecturer of St. Allhallows, Lombard-street, London, was convicted of bigamy, at the Central Criminal Court, and sentenced to seven years' transportation. After his removal from Newgate he was placed on board a transport moored off Sheerness, and was there employed as tutor to the chil dren of one of the officers. He had not filled his post long before an order arrived from the Home-office for the shipment of seven year convicts for the penal colony of Van Dieman's Land, and Mr. Aldhouse was drafted among them. During the past week a friend received a letter from him, in which he depicts the miseries of trans portation in forcible language, the convicts being dread fully coerced, irrespective of their previous station in life, or the offence of which they were convicted. He states that he is set to break stones, and is to continue at that employ for two years before any portion of his earnings will be applied for his own use. He expressos a hope that his communication will have the effect of convincing his countrymen that transportation is not the light punish ment which many of them imagine it to be. THIRTY CHILDREN NEARLY POISONED IN EDIN BURGH.—On Monday forenoon, a number of children in the neighbourhood of Jamaica-etreet, Edinburgh, made a very narrow escape from being poisoned, by an occurrence which arose from a very simple inadvertency. A shop keeper had ordered a large quantity of a species of foreign nut (not unlike the gall-nut of the Scottish oak, which is used for making ink,) to be thrown out on the street. having no use for them. The nuts unfortunately tempted the children playing about the street, and a general scram ble took place for the poisonous substance. They had all partaken more or less of them : some of them, indeed, stating since that they had eaten as many as twenty. The injurious consequences were soon manifested, one child after another being seized with fits of vomiting and retch ing, palpitation at the heart, coldness at the extremities, and other symptoms of having swallowed poison. Luckily, medical asistance was speedily on the spot, else the con sequences must have been frightful. In one building nine children were ill, and in some families two, and even three, had to be attended to. It is understood that about thirty in all had partaken of the nuts ; but it is gratifying to state, that however violent the symptoms were at an earlier period of the day, they were all in the evening in the way of recovery. The nut is described as of a very bitter taste, which makes it the more wonderful that the children should have been induced to partake of it. DARING BURGLARY.—About two o'clock on Saturday morning the residence of the Rev. Robert Meek, rector of St. Michael's, Sutton Bonnington, was burglariously entered by five men clad in smock frocks, whose faces were masked with black crape or cloth, and who stole therefrom two dozen large silver forks, four sauce ladles, four silver butter knives, a gold watch, a silver one, and a very large quantity of other plate, together with £6 in money. The burglars effected an entrance by breaking open the front door by a crow bar. Mr. Meek was awakened by the noise, and having discovered that the thieves had effected an entrance he slipped down a flight of back stairs to obtain assistance from the village, which is near the rectory, but he had only proceeded about 120 yards when he was attacked by two men, who inflicted several dangerous wounds upon him, and then dragged him back to the house. The thieves broke open the drawers, and ransacked every place in search of money, but only found the sum we have mentioned, though in the course of the previous day Mr. Meek had received from his tenants nearly £l2O, which was placed in a desk which stood upon the drawers the thieves ransacked in the bedroom, but fortunately a large Bible was placed in front of the desk, which concealed it from sight, and the money escaped discovery. The gang remained in the house above an hour and then went off together. Three of them have been apprehended, but remanded until Mr. Meek is able to attend their examination.—Nottingham Review. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—On Sunday week a vessel laden with flour and potash, from Canada, got aground near Blackpool. The wind blowing heavily at the time, one of the small boats was got out, when the mate jumped in, and was followed by Major Sparke, of the sth regiment of infantry, who had distinguished himself i❑ China, for which (as appeared by his papers) he had been promoted; a young lady, named Leach, who had been paying a visit to her brother, a clergyman, in Canada, next got in, and was followed by a sailor, but they had not proceeded far when the boat was upset. The Major clung to an oar, which sustained him for some time, but was afterwards washed off, and sank to rise no more. The lady clung to the leg of the mate, who swam a short distance with her, but, becoming exhausted, was obliged to extricate himself from her grasp, when she also sank, within a short dis tance of the shore. The highest praise is due to the mate, who, before the lady clung to his leg, had supported her, with his arm round her neck, until his strength failed him. When the poor fellow was picked up, he was so exhausted that doubts were entertained of his recovery. The sailor got upon the boat, which was floating bottom upwards, and was washed ashore. The captain and the rest of the crew (about eight in number) remained on the vessel, and landed safely when the tide was out. The name of the vessel is the Aristocrat. Every endeavour was made by the persons on shore to render them assistance, but the sea raged so furiously that all their efforts were in vain. The Major was on his way to his friends, at Woolwich, and the lady to hers, at Berwick. The body of the Major was picked up the following night. SHOCKING SUICIDE.—The village of Calver, in Derby shire, was on Saturday night, about nine o'clock, thrown into a state of the greatest alarm by the report that a young female, about 20 to 21 years of age, had committed suicide, by cutting her throat with a razor, in the most determined manner. The parents of the wretched girl are in respectable circumstances, occupying a farm under the Earl of Newburgh, and they also carry on the grocery business in a small way. The subject of this melancholy oceurrence was named Anne Gregory. About 16 months since she had an illegitimate child, which died, by a young man living in the same village. He gained her affections —effected her ruin—then deserted her. The same unfor tunate female was, on Tuesday evening week, delivered of another illegitimate child. A woman was sent for to act as midwife, who, when she came, refused to do her the office until made acquainted with the name of the father of the child ; upon which she said a younger bro ther of her former swain was the father. The parents were naturally much distressed and angry at their daugh ter's misconduct. On Saturday morning the child was found dead in bed by its mother, who, it appears, was unconscious of its fate. During the absence of Mr. and Mrs. Gregory at Chesterfield market, the constable of Calver went to their house, and ordered that the child should not be interred without a coroner's inquest being held on the body. The unfortunate girl was much affected on this being made known to her. She said the world would cast reflections on her concerning its death, and her mind was wrought sei u busdl fpoofpodouguttentrnioeluhdaedet half-past gruel. out tpdxdsbaenandssydretipde. the desperate r hAi g a hwe htbeinheeatl blood heard stoed o ehe d n tnrhe h s twes we o rut a l rasps a seuse t asfrirotmoegaunaei downnmorn o sdng, f , perpetrationtsv vh h t eaae rs isanflo, committing o a tdr h n et d hae m Hc s ots a u eaf k o i d c t i fr pnihdaagecert.heh sewingno e w t r r A as s r telling a sister to fetch the candle when she knocked at and immediately proceeded to her room, and discovered that she had cut her throat.
