I had lone iireviouslv been afflicted with headache and indigestion, but a'iiiend having induced me to make a trial of Frampton's Pills, I now inform you that a few doses gave me great relief ; and during this long period of time I have taken them in preference to any other medicine ; and I have the happiness of saying that I never had a better I attribute to Frampton's Pills.

On the morning of the 10th the following bulletin issued :-" 1-lis Majesty has .passed a restless night. _ _ The decrease of the King's strength still continues." The Hanoverian journals state that the terms of the above bulletin leave no hope. and the public hourly expected the announcement of the King's death. The Weser Zeitung states that the King was delirious during the night. Fur ther accounts, dated the 13th, state that on the previous evening his Majesty had lost his consciousness, and no longer recogised any person about him. His strength _ _ was gradually failing him, and there was not the slightest hope that he would again rally. On the previous evening his Majesty had signed several important state papers. In addition to the provisions of the new press law, it is understood that the Prussian Government contemplate re. turning to the old system of a stamp duty, from which political journals have been free since 1848. The German Journal of Frankfort states that the Aus trian charge d'affaires at Washington has received from his government the order to demand his passports, in case the president or the government of the United States shall officially take part in the reception of Kossuth, and at the minister of the United States at Vienna'shall raceivehis passports The last reports from Frankfort of the prospects of the German fleet are of the saddest kind.

REET, LIVERPOOL, an Loves OF DANTE AND BEATRICE.—It was at that sea ion of the year when the mildness of the heavens decks the earth in all its graces, making it smile beneath their canopy in a rich garment of verdant foliage and variegated flowers, that Dante first beheld Beatrice. It was on the Ist of May, when, according to annual custom, Folio Portinari, a man held high in the esteem of his fellow citizens, had assembled his friends around him, accompanied by their children. Dante, who was only nine years of age, was among the juvenile guests. Amid this gay little company iteps, was Folio's daughter, whose name was Bice.

PORTUGAL The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Com pany's ship Iberia, C. F. Burney, R.N., commander, 'e this morning with the usual Spanish and Por- Admiralty agent The Iberia has bac a very tempestuous passage across of Biscay, encountering strong north-east gales, with a heavy sea. Her dates are—Gibraltar, Nov. 3; Cadiz, Nov. 4; Lisbon, Nov. 9; Oporto, no communi cation ; Vigo, Nov. 11. She brings only a few passengers, among whom is Captain Harris, of her Majesty's ship Prince Regent. The Gibraltar Chronicle gives the following informa tion relative to a revolution which has broken out in Morocco "For the last two or three days it has been reported in the garrison that a revolution had broken out in Morocco, at a place near Tafi!at, headed by a nephew of the present Emperor, 11 • • - • - wno nas called upon the people of the empire to assist him in dethroning Abderrahman, whom he denounces as a usurper of the throne, which, as the son of the late Emperor, he claims as belonging to him by right. His party, according to the report, has gathered such strength, that, having laid siege to Tafilat, it has succeeded in carrying off the treasure of the Emperor :h was deposited there The Gibraltar Chronicle, of the 3d inst., contains the following particulars of an arcident to the British steam ship Phoebe, which vessel had arrived at Gibraltar in 14 days from Constantinople, 10 from Smyrna, and 6 from Malta, with a general cargo for Liverpool : "Yesterday morning, shortly before nine, the British screw steamer Phoebe, P. P. Brennan, commander, ran aground off the Breakwater under the Orange Bastion, on coining into the bay during high water. Prompt assistance was afforded by the boats of the Bellerophon and Aretlinsa the moment her situation was observed. The screw steamer Nile, which ar rived from the East sometime afterwards, rendered material assistance, by sending a hawser on board the Plicebe; but unfortunately, the tide going out, the hawser snapped. The men-of-war's boats had extended an anchor, and did everything that was possible to get her off, but could not succeed. A por tion of the coals and cargo of the Phoebe was then discharged, and, by . the joint assistance of her Majesty's steamer Janus and the Nile, and the working of an anchor cast from one of her Majesty's ships boats, and worked on board the Phoebe, they succeeded in getting her off about 1 o'clock last night." BRAZILS The Severn, from the Brazils, arrived at Southampton on Thursday. Her dates . are—Sydney, August 18th; Buenos Ayres, October 4 ; Monte Video, 6th ; Rio Ja neird, 15th ; Bahia, 19th ; Pernambuco, 22nd. The Sydney News states that gold is most plentiful in Frede rick's Valley, and that the gold diggers are making rich harvests. Lumps of gold, from 12 to 14 lbs. have been found. Large quantities arrived in Bathurst every day. " In the Brazils every thing was quiet. The war between the Argentine republic and Monte Video was still going on, although It must soon be brought to a close. Brazi lian troops marched into Monte Video to the assistance of the Monte Videans. Oribe was hemmed in between Monte Video and the troops of Arquina, and when the packet sailed he was arranging terms for surrendering, which, it was supposed, would be accomplished by himself and staff receiving passports for Buenos Ayres, the troops remaining prisoners. He wanted passports for all, but had been refused. It was reported that Oribe had escaped on board H.M. ship Swede, and that his troops had been made prisoners, He was reduced to 4000 men. INDIA.

The case will be tried in the Queen's Bench, and before a common jury. All Dublin is on the qui vice for the " bill of particulars." A Goon LANDLORD.The Tipperary/Free Press states that the venerable Baron Pennefather has given another instance of his benevolence as a landlord, in his late ar rangements with his tenantry, to many-of whom he has made abatements amounting to fifty per cent., whilst he has allowed the rents to remain in their hands for the purchase of stock, which must be of incalculable advantage to them—increasing their comforts, and stimulating in dustrious and enterprising men to the attainment of an honourable independence. MYSTERIOUS OCCURRENCE.—The Limerick Chronicle gives the follow . ine :—A few evenings since, as two ladies who bad left the Limerick junction were proceeding home wards in their carriage, a man, muffled in a large military cloak, stepped from beneath a tree on the roadside, and deliberately took aim with a pistol at the fair occupants. Fortunately the soddenness of his appearance started the horses, and the shot passing through the back of the car riage, took no effect. One of the ladies, we regret to say, received such a shock that she continues seriously indis posed. The whole affair is at present wrapped in the deepest mystery ; but, from what we are able to learn, it is supposed that jealousy prompted this outrageous act. STEAM BETWEEN NEW YORK AND GALWAY.—Mr. Wagstaff, a shipowner of New York, visited Galway last week, and attended a meeting of the Town and Harbour Commissioners on Saturday. when he stated that his ob ject was to establish aline of steamers between New York and Galway, having a conviction that the project would pay. He might •not succeed in the first, or second, or third trip ; still he would not be disheartened—his expe riment should last for six months. The vessel which he had now prepared ready to start, and which would leave New York for Galway, was, he had no hesitation in say ins, one of the fastest and strongest steamers which ever sailed on the ocean. In proof of this Mr. Wagstaff read a certificate from the Mercantile Mutual Assurance Coro- This vessel would be followed by others of the very strongest and swiftest build which it could he possible for wood and iron to make. It was the intention of him self and of his father to bring, by means of other commu nication, the goods and passenger traffic of the Continent through Ireland. He sought no pecuniary assistance, he merely wanted co-operation and kindly feeling on the part of the people of Galway. With regard to the emi grant accommodation, le was determined to make such an improvement in this particular as had been never before attempted. The steerage passengers should be provided with berths which would contain only two each ; the sexes, except in cases of families, should be kept separate ; saloons should be provided for them, where they might sit ; with proper cooking accommodation, the best de scription of food, and a voyage of only eight days, at a charge of £6 each. He would come himself with the first vessel, when he expected to be able to enter more fully into details. The meeting was addressed by Mr. Ennis, who promised, on the part of the railway company, every assistance and cooperation towards carrying out this great project. On the motion of Mr. Stephens. seconded by Mr. J. Ireland, it was resolved that Mr. Wagstaff's vessel should enter the port free of all dues for the space of six months. The chairman, the Rev. Peter Daly, on behalf of the people of Galway and the commissioners, claimed Mr. Wagstaff, his captain and officers, as their guests upon their arrival next month. It is said that the Midland and Great Western Railway have determined to set abbut immediately the "fixing" of a line of telegraphs between the Galway and Dublin termini. This would bring the Dublin public the American news in very little over eight days, anticipating the London press, as at present supplied, by upwards of three days. UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENT TO THE DEME RARA ROYAL. MAIL This magnificent vessel, which has juit been built at the yard of Messrs. Patterson and Son, the well-known ship builders, who constructed the Great Western, Great Bri tain, and other celebrated steam-ships for the service of the• Royal West India Mail Steam packet Company, left the Cumberland basin, which forms the western extremity of the Bristol floating harbour, at about seven o'clock on Monday morning, for Glasgow, with a view of being fitted with her engines. She passed safely through the new lock, and was towed a-head by a steam-tug from Liverpool called the Independence, and on her larboard and star board •bows had two Bristol tugs. She was rigged and equipped with sails, &c., and ready for sea all but her en gines, to compensate for the weight of which she carried 1200 tons of ballast. The tugs steamed her down at a very rapid rate, and to this circumstance many ascribe the accident ; certain it is that, soon after her passing a curve in the river which is known as the round or " De vil's" point, she had so much weigh upon her that her helm did not act, and she run upon the Gloucesters':.ire bank of the river, and imbedded her cutwater to a depth of se veral feet in the hard gravelly bank. As the tide ebbed, her stern swung round to the opposite bank, and she now lies completely athwart the river, a considerable portion of her dry, and with •evident manifestations of very severe straining. Her coppers are wrinkled and broken in places, • • her butts have opened, P.nd her position is altogether one of the most alarming description, her keel being bent, and her cabins and staircases twisted. On Monday evening, as the tide rose, the vessel floated, and at about seven o'clock she was taken to a soft bank of mud in the river facing the Eaglestaff Quarry, where she was, as it was hoped, safe from further injury, and where it was in tended to make further efforts to stop her leaks ; ever, at ten o'clock the force of the ebb tide was so great as to drag her from her anchors and break her from her moorings, when she again swung round and crossed the river, settling into a most dangerous position, where she remained until Tuesday morning, when by renewed exer tion she was again got off, and floated to the entrance of CuMberland basin, having her back broken, her decks sunk, her cabins destroyed and dreadfully twisted out of shape, and the water pouring from her sides through many started butts. We regret to state that this ill-fated vessel may now be considered a total wreck, having been placed in the hands of the underwriters. On Wednesday morn ing she was removed from her position just outside the Floating Harbour to the opposite bank of the river called Transport-dock, with a view to prevent her impeding the navigation of the river. The Royal West India Mail Company have felt very anxious to learn if anything could possibly be done for the preservation of this fine ship, but we believe we may state that all nauti cal authorities agree that the only course which can now be adopted is to break her up. If broken up, it is esti; mated that she will realise about £12,000. For the our poses of repair she may be valued at somewhere about £15,000, but then the repairs would be costly in the ex treme, for every bolt and trenail would have to be re placed by new ones larger than before, and heavier in cop per and wood. Her ceilings, floorings, and a great por tion of her planking would also have to be removed before the repairs could be commenced. There is no longer any doubt that the ship was lost through the indiscretion of the pilot in having so much weigh on her at the time the accident occurred. The Great Britain (six feet longer than the Demerara), the Avon, and the Severn, all passed safely down the river, and the Great Western. It is stated that the total of the policies of insurance ef fected on the Demerara is £48,000. Of this sum £30,000 With taken at Lloyd's, £9,000 by the Mutual Marine In demnity, and £9,000 by the London Assurance. THE NEW REAPING MACHINE.—In consequence of a communication made through .the medium of General Wemyss to his Royal Highness Prince Albert, that Mr. Hussey was anxious, previous to his departure for Ame. rice, to have the honour of exhibiting his machine in the presence of his royal highness, Saturday week was appointed to witness its operations. It had, however, been previously arranged by General Wemyes, in order to give Mr. Hussey time to make some preliminary expe riments, that his royal highness would not be present until half-past twelve o'clock. Punctual to the minute, his royal highness, accompanied by Col. Seymour, rode to the appointed spot. The ground selected was covered with fern, and contained spots of a very rugged as well as of some of a very smooth character, so that the machine underwent a very fair trial. It was scarcely possible to select anything more trying for the machine than some of the stiff fern which was so successfully cut on Saturday, in fact, on many estates the machine will be extremely valuable for this purpose alone. After a short trial, the machine was stopped for the purpose of allowing his royal highness to examine the details, on which it was, to a great measure, taken to pieces, the saw or knives with drawn, the latter being carefully examined by his royal highness. As some clay was found on it, the sod from the hassoch, which it had cut through, was brought for his inspection. The working of the machine was carefully explained by Mr. Hussey, the inventor ; and his royal highness directed several observations to Mr. Crosskill, of Beverley, the manufacturer, as also to Mr. Dray, Mr. Pierce, and Mr. Stevens. After some further trials, which kept his royal highness at a smart pace, the machine was stopped : and, after a brief conversation with Messrs. Dray, Crosskill, and Hussey, his royal highness rode off, accompanied by the Hon. Colonel Seymour, having, we understood, previous to 'his departure, given the, most satisfactory proof of his approval, by ordering two ma chines, one for Windsor and one for Osborne. After the departure of his royal highness, the machine was removed to some rushy ground, near Queen Ann's-walk, which it cut in a most satisfactory manner to all present, except a rabbit, which it turned over, but did not sufficiently maim it to prevent it giving a few of the spectators an opportunity of displaying their abilities at running before it was captured. Mr. Hussey's machine is calculated to cut corn and pulse crops, clover, and seeds, such as Timothy, rye. grass, cocksfoot, &c.; blitMr. Hussey candidly admits that it is not effective for the cutting of short old meadow grass. A machine worked by two horses, a man to rake off, and a boy to drive, will cut an acre and a-half per hour, or at the rate of 2s. per acre, requiring the attendance of from five to ten binders, according to the weight of the crop. In working the machine, it com mences at one side of the field, and continuously moves round it until the whole is cut, taking' a breadth of five feet at each turn. This machine is extremely simple, a circumstance that forms one of its greatest recommenda tions, and cannot get out of order with the roughest usage to which it can be subjected under the ordinary circumstances of a farm.—Moring Pot, ECCLESIASTICAL NEWS.

At a recent meeting of the Lichfield Diocesan Church 2'xtension Society, it was stated that the munificent be quest of the late Edward Corden, Esq., of Clifton, near Ashbourne, was expected to produce about £25,000, ; to be applied, according to Mr. Corden's will, to the build ing, rebuilding, and enlarging, and repairing, pewing, or renewing, churches and chapels, and , endowing new churches, or augmenting existing endowments. BISHOP OF MANCHESTER'S CHARGE, The Lord Bishop of Manchester delivered his first charge on Saturday, in the Parish Church of Bolton. The Right Rev. Prelate, after testifying how much and sincerely he had felt the kindness and courtesy so universally accorded to him by cl gy of the diocese, proceeded to read his charge, of which we can give onlyabrief abstract. Heexpressed himself ashaving an anxious sense of responsibility with respect to the extent and variety of the interests he had to consider. One point of pro minent importance is to bring the people as far as possible intimately acquainted with the services of the Church, espe cially those which, from their occasional occurrence only, are comparatively seldom brought befo r e th em . Thi s h e had en deavoured to do. Nowhere is the spirit of the Church more clearly manifested than in the care with which it sedulously provided that the congregation shall take part in all her ser vices. The history of the Prayer Book affordS ample evidence of the desire to secure the whole congregation's understanding, and joining, either mutely by consent, or actively, in all the services of the Church. That in cathedral and collegiate churches chantina , might be used was unquestio na bl e , except ing in the case of collegiate parochial churches having cure of souls. In parish churches the case was widely different. Sing ing of hymns before or after service is not condemned. The distinct object which all along has actuated the reformers and authorities has been to render the services intelligible' to all her worshippers. He referred to the attempts now making in various quarters to effect alterations in the ecevicca Church, and to revive old assemblies. Granting that, as in all' things human, there are some imperfections in the rubric, he could recognise nothing so objectionable as to justify the open ing the many grave and mo men t ous ques ti ons to w hi c h any .gy,_or convocation of the early church ye rise: He then alluded to the late convulsion of feeling on — the subject of baptismal regeneration. The opinions attributed to Mr. Gorham by the Judicial Committee he held to be the true scriptural doctrine of the Church of England. In allusion to his support in Parliament of measures in favour of Jews being admitted into the Legislature, he ob served that he deemed it inconsistent with Christianity to visit religious nonconformity with civil disability, except in cases clearly shown to be inconsistent with the preservation of the State. We were admitting those who have declared our religion a heresy, and are even now denying our Sovereign supremacy, yet we were excluding the hitherto almost universally loyal and peaceful Jew. Adverting to the subject of education, the Right Rev. Prelate said—" The rubric of the Church secures to us, in the directions given to catechise the children before the congre gation, the right to inculcate our peculiar and distinctive teachings, as well as the opportunity to present to the older but less instructed members of the congregation, the great truths of religion in a simple form. The Sunday school associates with you a number,of young parishioners, uniting to improve themselves by improving others, and earning a rich reward in patience, the exercise of temper, the interest, and the kindly emotions elicited. The day school is a constant resource to discountenance every rising evil, to get at the sick parent by inquiring of the child, or at the child by contact or reproof directed to the parent—evidencing interest in either, and chal lenging sympathy. Happily the alarm excited a short time since has now subsided, on a more careful and dispassionate view of the acts of the Committee of Privy Council on Educa tion. The immeasurable good likely to result is beginning all but universally to be felt. The reason: bleness of the manage ment clause, so long a vexatio questio, is now seen generally, but the fact must not be lost sight of, that a new and important element of education, which ought to make itself to be felt—the want of trained and suitable teachers, hitherto so serious a matter—will henceforth considerably diminish. As the pupil teachers and paid monitors appointed under the Minutes of December, 1848, shall become effective, and begin to seek ap pointments, it is obvious that measures must be taken to meet this, and to retain the services of this superior class of teachers in education. The teacher's stipend must be augmented, and his position in society raised. That the voluntary system will effect this there is little hope. It has been tried and has failed, and must fail. To hiCrease Parliamentary grants beyond a certain limit in aid of local exertions is inexpedient, since, not to speak of their difficulty, those who administer it are tempted to become lavish in expense and careless in the supervision. The remedy left is to supply the want by local rates, administered -with such restraints and limitations as experience must suggest, by local authorities acquainted with all the interests, and their several stations and localities. But here we are met with an asserted impossibility of using a rate, even were such collected' here, On account of diversity of religious opinions existing among us, and the alleged impracticability of uniting them under a system of education without violating liberty of con science. Premising my opinion, that education, to be useful to the individual educated, or safe to the community, cannot exist without religious instruction—a conviction which on other occasions I have unhesitatingly asserted—l will ask yon what rights we do and do not possess on this matter, as citi zens and members of the Church of England? The right, as heirs of immortality, to impart to others the teachings com mitted to us by what means that immortality may be at tained—the right as Christians, for whom Ch r ist di e d, t o prof fer to all the Gospel -of His Word ; the right, as members of the Church of England, to set before all willing to be members of that Church, its doctrines, services, and articles in all their fulness—these are rights inalienable, and which I would never for a moment consent to impair; but lie have no right, by any law, human or divine, to force the adoption of these on any human being against their will • nor have we a right to deny to any member of the State, however poor and humble, any portion of what the State provides, because he will not take the whole. If he decline to take what is intended, as unsuited to his advantage, the act is his, as also his the responsibility. Thus, while I never would consent to give up the use of the catechism, the Prayer Book, and the distinctive teaching of the Church of England in our ch u rch sc h oo l s , I would restrict their use to particular periods of the week, at which I would permit the child of the Dissenter, at his own or parents' peril, to absent himself. I would compel him to show respect at the religious services of the school where he is allowed to go, and where he is prayed for, if unable to join in it. And the like I would require from all Dissenting schools assisted by the rate, No liberty of conscience has thus been violated. His lord ship alluded to complaints which had reached him with respect to the facility with which marriages could be contracted, and to the aggressions of the Court of Rome. He said that ques tions had been asked him in reference to the refusal of the rite of burial wherepersons had died in the actual commissi on o f sin, or from suicide, where the coroner's jury did not pro nounce a verdict of felo de se. The law upon this matter, he stated, was quite explicit ; the clergyman had no right to with hold the service in any case, except after some judicial inves tigation had taken place, and not then unless sentence had actually been pronounced. He had no power to act upon his own knowledge in the absence of such' investigation. The charge, which was of.great length, and read very rapidly, oc cupied an hour and a quarter in delivery. His lordship held a visitation on Monday, at Preston, in the Parish Church ' when an appropriate sermon was preached by the Rev. J. O. Parr, vicar, from Micah vi. 8. On Tuesday his lordship met the clergy of Blackburn and the district, the ser mon being preached by the Rev. T. F. Chamberlain, rector of Thefford, from Rom. xxv. 19. On Wednesday his lordship met the clergy at Burnley, and on Thursday at Bury. His lordship held his visitation in Manchester, at the Cathe dral, on Friday. All the local clergy were present, and there was a numerous congregation. On Saturday his lordship held his visitation at Lancaster, and on Sunday confirmed a large number of young persons at the Parish Church.

The attendance of company was not quite so great as could have been desired, or that we have usually seen at these meetings ; but this, doubtless, was owing to the very unsettled state of the weather.

Dr. . Ullathorne is, at this moment, a shareholder. We understand that amongst the securities there are some, amounting to £13,000, for Roman Catholic chapel property at Bristol, on which advances to that amount have been made. We have heard that the bank advanced £6,000 on the chapel pro perty in Meridian-place, Clifton ; indeed, on the whole, the bank, whose chief directors and manager were Roman Catholics. was worked (though, of course, not with the knowledge of the shareholders generally) to advance ' the cause' in South Wales and this neighbourhood."

Wotherspoon, of Dunlop-street, in this city, is not a little , honoured by the high place which his Glenfield Patent Starch has ob tained in the List of Awards by the Royal Commi ss i oners and Jurors of the Great Exhibition. Not only is his Starch placed at the head of the manufacture by receiving the Prize Medal of the Royal Commissioners but it is further distinguished by the " hon oura bl e mention" of the Jurors on account of its general s u p er i or i ty. This is a de cided and unequivocal testimony to the acknowledged merits of the Glenfield Starch, emanating in this case from a source of which the impartiality cannot be questioned ; and therefore we have no hesitation i n ca lli ng a tt en ti on t o the facts in this case, because not only does it place Mr. Wotherspoon's Starch far above that of all his competitors in the same line, but it likewise exhibits the uses of the Great Exposition as a test of manufacturing merit in a new and practical light,--Reformers' Gazette, THE ABUSE OF INTELLECT .3.
