FOREIGN AND COLONIAL. AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE EUROPA We have received by the arrival of the royal mail steam ship Europa, E. G. Lott, commander, on Sunday, at midnight, our accounts from New York of the 3d instant. Our usual telegraphic despatch two days later has not, however, arrived. _ The Europa left Boston at 10 minutes past 1 o'clock on the afternoon of the 4th instant ; touched at Halifax on the 6th, at 5.56, a.m., left at 7.30. a.m., and arrived in the Mersey at midnight precisely, after a run of 11 days, 3 hours, and 36 minutes. She encountered throughout very strong head gales and heavy seas; rendering her passage unusually trying. She brought 36 passengers. The United States mail steamer Atlantic, Captain West, arrived at New York at half-past one o'clock on the after noon of the Ist instant, after a fine run, calculating difference of time, of 11 days 6 hours and 40 minutes. The West India mail steamer, Great Western, Captain E. J. Wolfe, arrived at Mobile Point at noon on the 25th alt., with mails of the 20th from Vera Cruz, 842,000 dol lars on freight, and 11 passengers. We learn from Rio Janeiro that the Brazilian Govern inent had formally demanded satisfaction for the destruc tion of her fort and four vessels by H.M. steamer Cormo rant. _ _ _ Political affairs in the United States were active. The Secretaryship of the Interior had been declined by Mr. Jenkins. Congress still sat, but had transacted no busi ness of note. On the 2nd two attempts to modify the tariff had been defeated. Some anxiety had been awakened relative to the position of Texas. Governor Bell had issued a second Message of a belligerent cha racter. A committee had been appointed by both houses, and resolutions had been adopted to maintain the integ rity of her territory at all hazards. Later, a bill was in troduced authorising the raising of five regiments of 1000 each.

She says she is well treated by her husband, but the women are cruel to her ; that she is anxious to return to her friends, and that four or five good riding horses will procure her ransom. WILFUL BURNING OF AN INDIAMAN : Loss OF £4o,ooo.—Accounts have been received of the destruction by fire, in Cum-Dingmoon Bay, in China, on the night of the 24th of June, of the Elizabeth, Indiaman. The ship had arrived a few days before, from Calcutta, with a valuable cargo of opium, cotton, rice, and 1,000 bags of saltpetre, and had commenced unloading on the 13th of June The crew sleeping in the forecastle were awakened by suffocating smoke. and instantly ran on deck. They gave an alarm by ringing the ship's bell, and boats put off to her a s sistance from the shore and the ships in the harbour. Every effort was made to extinguish the fire but without effect, and the mooring chains were slipped to let the ship drift in shore. An explosion of spirits in the steward's-room gave warning to those on board, and they took to their boats. Ten minutes afterwards the shin blue up with a dreadful explosion, and in the next minute disappeared under water. An investigation next day led to the conclusion that the fire had been wilfullly caused by one of the labourers employed in unloading the vessel, but the guilty person had not been detecteJ. The ship and cargo were valued at £40,000. THE FAMILY BIBLE '• • REMARKABLE INCIDENT.-011 the banks of the Wab ash, the (ffects of a poor widow, who had been left comparatively destitute at the death of her husband, had been seized by a sheriff for debt, and were being sold by auction—and among these effects an old family Bible was put up for sale. sihe begged the constable to spare this memento of her dear and honored The good hook was about when the widow suddenly parents, but he s inexorable snatched it, and declaring that she would have some relic of those she loved. cut the thread that held the brown linen cover, with the intent of retaining it. The cover fell into her hands, and with it two flat pieces of thin dirty paper. Surprised at the circumstance, she examined them, and what, was her joy and delight to find that they hundred pounds on the Bank of En gland, On the hack of one, in her mother's handwriting, filled fc were the following words :—" When sorrow overtakes you, seek your Bible." And on the other, in her father's hand :—" Your father's ears are never deaf." The sale was immediaaely stopped, and the family Bible given to the faithful owner. _ _ HEROISM OF A BOY.—On Friday a lad, about 13 years of age, was driving his mother (Mrs. Humphery) and five little children, with the nurse, and when at the lake, this side of Torrvburn. the horse rushed into the water, the bank being very steep, and they were all engulphed be- yond their depch.

After her return from Fishkill. she will probably spend two or three days at Iranistan, Mr. Barnuni's residence, near Bridgeport, Connecticut. We are glad to announce that the tickets for each con cert will be sold at auction, though there will no doubt be a par rate established for the remaining seats, after all the most desirable have been disposed of. The time and place of giving the first concert has not yet been deter mined, but we may safely anticipate hearing the famous vocalist within two weeks. . _ _ Having now given all the necessary particulars of these interesting events, we will chronicle a few facts connected with the voyage of the steam-ship across the Atlantic to New York. For the first three or four days the weather was exceeding stormy, and all hands were more or less sick, not excepting Mademoiselle, who, however, was among the first to shake off the nauseous effects of her introduction to Neptune's domain. On the 23d we encountered a severe gale, which lasted two days, and which, though retarding our progress greatly, tested the chip in such a manner as to satisfy all parties that she stands unrivalled as a sea-boat. At length the wind abated, and the ocean became smooth. Roses came again to pale cheeks, and hearts and eyes assumed their accustomed buoyancy. Evening after evening came, and with it the dance, in which charming Jenny was sure to lead off, with all the grace of womanly beauty, and all the joyousness of merry girlhood. Anon, when the atmos phere was too damp, or the sea too rough for these amusements, then Jenny's sweet and bell-like voice poured forth the rich melodies of her native Sweden. True to her nature, and to those pure and holy impulses which adorn and beautify her character, she at once con ceived the idea of getting up a concert for the benefit of the crew, whose frequent exposure and hardships seemed to arrest the best and noblest sympathies of her heart. The bare mention of it was sufficient ; in less than an hour £7O was subscribed by the passengers, and Jenny set herself to work to prepare the programme. The concert opened with a grand duetto on the piano forte, by Messrs. Underner, of Albany. New York, and the great composer, Benedict, in a style little expected to have been heard on the broad Atlantic. The singing of Bellet.ti quite astounded all on board. The singing of Jenny I dare not attempt to describe. The audience in the grand saloon, which, large as it is, was crowded with nearly 200 persons, were rivetted to the spot with wonder and delight. She sang several times during the concert, and even responded to the (I was going to say unreasonable) demand for an encore to that beautiful ballad of - Benedict's, "Take this Lute," which, as sung-by Jenny, is almost enough to make one turn blasphemer, and say she is not human. A few hours before the time appointed . one of those thick fogs, so prevalent in these latitudes, came on, and the captain, ever alert for the care of his ship, was stationed at the bows, watchir- with anxious ARRIVAL OF JENNY LIND IN AMERICA. (From the New York Herald.) The Swedish Nightingale, th 3 soul of song, has at length arrived in the empire city of the great republic of the new world, and her welcome has been cordial and enthusiastic in proportion to her fame, and that intuitive instinct by which the people of New York never fail to recognise and appreciate heroism, goodness, or genius. In the case of Jenny Lind, all three are combined in the highest degree, and her reception on Sunday, the Ist September, was accordingly a scene of enthusiasm such as none of her sex has ever met with on this continent. She is a woman of a century —one of the wonders of an age—which the hand of the Great Spirit of Harmony, who attunes " t'le music of the spheres," raises up to make the rest of the world humble, while they adore His power. The Atlantic having been expected on Saturday even ing, Mr. Barnum proceeded to Staten Island to meet the great songster, and the Fire Department had intended, in the event of leer arrival during the night, to escort her, in a grand torchlight procession, from the wharf to her hotel, and had engaged some of our hest bands to give her a serenade. But a storm which the Atlantic encoun tered in her passage, delayed her for several hours, and she did not arrive till Sunday afternoon. It having been rumoured that she was to land on Staten Island, in order to avoid the crowd, immense numbers visited the island in the ferry boats. It turned out, however, that she could not conveniently land at Staten Island, and many, therefore, were disappointed. On the gallant ship steam ine up to the Quarantine, Mr. Barnum accompanied the health officer on board, and there met the nightingale, when cordial salutations were exchanged. On seeing the American flag, she paid it homage by kissing her hand to it with all the fervor of a child, and exclaiming, " There is the beautiful standard of freedom, which is worshipped by the oppressed of all nations." Shortly after, she saw the Swedish flag flying from the masthead of a vessel in the quarantine, and her eye kindling with rapture on beholding tbe emblem of her native land, she asked how long the ship had been detained there, and on being informed by Dr. Doane, the health officer, that the deten tion was thirty-five days, she expressed her regret at the delay. This momentary feeling was soon lost in the boundless delight with which she regarded the expanse of ater that lay before her in our glorious bay—she literally feasted her eyes upon it with admiration. She said it was the most magnificent sight she had ever beheld. Mr. Barnum—Except the Bay of Naples. Jenny Lind—Not excepting even that. She appeared, in_ fact, delighted with everything she . saw. On nearing the wharf, She expressed her astonish ment at seeing so many persons, all respectably dressed — such a crowd as she bad never seen on the docks of the old country. She enquired, " Why, Mr. Barnum, have you no poor people in this country ? Everybody appears to be well dressed." _ _ _ Meantime, the foot of Canal-street was covered with human beings, who had congregated there all the day, in expectation of getting a sight of the Swede; and when the news arrived that the Atlantic was coming - ap the river, the excitement became intense, and there was a perfect rush, up to the time of her reaching the dock. The strong wooden gate leading to the dock was closed, and kept by the police of the Fifth ward, and only those who obtained orders were admitted. Meantime, " the 'pressure from without" was tremendous, and all the docks around were covered with men, women and children. There were trains of coaches drawn up in front of the entrance to the dock, the flags of Sweden and the stars and stripes floated on the breeze together, and every appearance indicated that "a coming event had cast its shadow before." On reaching the wharf, exactly at two o'clock, a deaf ening cheer greeted the noble ship and her noble passen ger. Every eye was strained to see her, but she did not make her appearance on deck ; and if she had she could scarcely have been distinguished from the many other lady passengers on board. )alf way up the dock, a beautiful arcade lad been erected, consisting of a double row of pillars, 'estooned with evergreens and flowers, and covered over head with the flags of the Union. The front (next the ship) had a triumphal arch of the same materials, sur mounted by a stuffed eagle, with a bouquet of flowers in his beak, as if presenting them to the guest of the United States. In front was the inscription, in large letters upon a white ground—" To the Nightingale," Jenny Lind, welcome to America." Here Mr. Barnum's pri vate carriage was drawn up, and from this to the gang- From the ship was extended a carpet for her to walk on. eantime the gangway was being hoisted on In the r board ; but ..gas the anxiety for seeing her, that many climbed up the stakes, at the risk of their lives, ;e compelled by the police to come down.

The • , e. gangway having been secured, and the passengers com of a bull-rino is an I menced descending, all eyes were bent on every female n that the of serious zation has entleq that made her appeSrance, scrutinizing her features, and :!omparing them with the likenesses they had seen in the print shops. At length Captain West, commanding the Atlantic, appeared, with Jenny Lind leaning on his arm, wearing a blue silk bonnet, and having in her hand an exquisite bouquet, presented to her by Mr. Collins. A simultaneous shout of exultation ascended, that made the welkin ring, and told the multitude outside the gate that the Nightingale had shown herself. By her side wt Barnum, Mr. Jules Benedict, and Signor Belletti rush was tremendous. Still the lines were preserved un broken ; and Captain West led her to the carriage, which was a 'rather plain one. A number, who could not get seeing her, ran forward with precipitation towards the carriage, in order to catch a glimpse of her as she entered ; and here the scene baffled all descrip- quite impossible for her to get into it. The choicest bouquets were showered upon her ; and when, with the exertions of those friends who accompanied her, she at length gained the interior of the carriage, the people got up on the horses, while others climbed the carriage roof, and bouquets were thrown to her in profusion. She bowed with t 't and simple grao uished, and her face spoke more of emotion than any words could express. At this moment, was beard a wild hurragn at the gate, such as proceeds from besiegers when they enter the breach they have made in the wall or gate of a city. The people who had been kept off with hard Aghtino lw the nnliee. nt length made one tremendous rush. carrying the gate in with them, and this heightened the excitement to a pitch of wild tumult ; and some appre hension was felt, for a few minutes, that Jenny Lind might be injured. There appeared to be no hope of get. +h.nttr,h +ha tts.r.vrr,l rishn rit•ivar had nnhi to battle for it ; he whipped the horses, which he found to be use less, and then he whipped the crowd, when immediately the Nightingale put her head out of the window, and said with much excitement, " You must stop ; I will not allow :ke the people; they are all my friends, and re come to see me." This sentiment was received with a deafening cheer, and the crowd made way themselves. The carriage then drove to the Irving House, with Lind.

Other vehicles conveyed Jenny Lind's suite and baggage, and some thousands of the people followed to the Irving at one of the windows ; and every minute or two, as some of the ladies of the Irving Honse came to the windows to look out, they were mistaken by some one in the crowd 'or Jenn when a cheer which was as quicki . • suppressed by the better discernment of the majority, with a laugh at the expense of the deceived. At length she made her appearance at one of the widows, when a unani mous cheer, loud and long greeted her, and an electric enthusiasm stirred the entire multitude.

EXECUTION OF PROFESSOR WEBSTER The American papers received by the steamer yesterday give full details of this melancholy event, which, as we announced last week, took place at Boston on the 30th ultimo. During a great part of the day before the execu tion, the prisoner occupied himself with setting aside little memorials for those few friends in whose charitable feel ings towards him, when he was gone, he might hope. He selected a number of his books, and wrote in them the names of several persons towards whom he wished to ex press some recollection of past obligations and favours. He seemed to take much interest in this occupation. During the night he was closely watched, lest he should commit suicide. Through the night he read his Bible at intervals, and slept for several hours. He then ate a light breakfast, and prayed audibly. A little before ten o'clock, everything being ready for the execution, ttis ar►ns were pinioned, and he was directed to take his place in the melancholy procession which was being formed. He did so. The high-sheriff led the way, followed by the jailor and turnkeys. Next came Professor Webster, supported by the Rev. Mr. Putnam, Unitarian minister, (whom the unfortunate man requested to stay with him till the 1 moment,) and two constables. Professor Webster walk firmly but dejectedly to the scaffold, amid the most pro found silence. His step was firm, and his countenance betrayed no emotion. He looked at the ground, and was apparently resigned to the doom which awaited him. He was dressed in a plain suit of black, but had no neckcloth His frock coat was buttoned t t of the way His legs having been pinioned and the rope adjusted, the sheriff turned round, faced the prisoner, took a single step, placed his foot on a spring—the part of the platform on which Professor Webster stood fell, and the unfortu nate man was hanging by the neck. The fall was about 8 feet, and to appearances his neck was dislocated. He strug glad hnt lite and evidently suffered no pain. The only _a but little, n.,_ evidence of the death struggle which he manifested was a slight convulsive movement of the legs, which were par tially drawn up for an instant. In less Ilan four minutes , l 1 signs of life were extinct, and Professor Webster was " +here, we trust, to receive foreivenes, her work After remaining suspended just half an hour, two surgeons examined the body, and informing the Sheriff that life was extinct, that officer so declared it to the legal witnesses and spectators, and at the same time thanked the witnesses, in the name of the commonwealth, for attending and aiding the officers of the law in the pain ful duty which bad just been performed. A pine coffin, painted black, was then placed beneath the body. The corpse was lowered. the rope removed from the neck. the for his crime lid of the coffin was nailed down, and the body was then removed to the cell which Professor Webster occupied, according to the Professor's The execution took place in the gaol yard, in the s desire Lbout 250 spectators of the ac houses. The unh - appy man a letter to the brother of his deceased victim, in the sincere contrition at having caused him such deep sorrow, and offering " no excuse for his wicked and fatal ebullition of passion, nor attempt ing to palliate it." He also declared, when the question was put to him, that he had no further conf make. The day of execution was scrupulously kept from his family, who visited him twice a week, and left day preceding his execution, without knowing that it waL the last time they would see him alive. The body was him th delivered to his friends, and the funeral took p vately on Sunday, when the body was deposite family tomb. The Boston Transcript has the following During the walk to the gallows the conversation was main thought o occupied with sacred th .„ appalling spectacle around him should not cause him to quail But the.prisoner was firm to the last. Not a nerve shivered To Dr. Putnam's remark—" Do not regard anything above you—do not look"—as they entered the area, and aporoache the gallows, he replied, "I do not. My thoughts are else where." All the while the death warrant was being read. D after losit IRELAND. Henry Arthur Herbert, Esq., M.P., is about to open a r ‘odel farm of 100 acres on his property .in Castleisland. THE SEA SERPENT AGAlN.—According to snot her letter in the Cork papers the sea serpent was off Kinsale on Monday last. Inquiries are instituting by-officers of the government in respect to the facilities afforded by harbours around the west coast of Ireland, for the purposes of a Transat lantic Packet Station. THE SEA SERPENT.—The Royal Alice steamer, on Wednesday, left Cork, calling at Passage, Monkstown, and Queenstown, returning to Cork in the evening with excursionists, in search of the great sea serpent! ROMISH LOYALTY.—The health of the Pope was toasted with supreme honour at the ecclesiastical dinner in Thurles College on Tuesday, but that of her Majesty was omitted.— •Limerick Chronicle. In Ireland there has not. been a single convert to Romish doctrines from among the Clergy of the Erudish Church, simply because there all the glaring evidences of the falsity of Romanism are manifest—here they are not so frequently seen. A councillor of Cork has addressed the council of that borough, in the public prints, offering himself as a candi date for the office of Mayor. He declares his intention of withdrawing, if any member of the body who has not yet served the'office shall come forward. EXTRAORDINARY SHOT.—A few days ago Mr. Plun kett, brother to the Bishop of Tuam, and son of Lord Plunkett, while shooting seals at the Bishop's loiße, in the county of Mayo, fired at a cormorant on the wing with a rifle, and having shot it in the neck, the bullet cut in two a large conger eel, which the bird had in its throat at the time. ROMISH TOLERATION.—On Friday night week, a few Orangemen, belonging to a lodge in Lurgan. were taking their drums, for safe keeping, to the house of the master of the lodge, who resides little more than a mile from that town. When on their way, at Mulbuoy, they were set upon by a large party of Roman Catholics, who broke the drums in pieces, and left some o f th e Orangemen lying on the road in a state of unconsciousness. The attack was as sudden as it was decisive, some of the men being badly beaten. The affair is to be investigated. LORD LANSDOWNE AN " EXTERMINATOR."—The fol lowing is from the Limerick Chronicle:—'' Twenty-six houses were levelled, after the occupants were ejected by the sheriff, on the lands of Lixnaw, near Tralee, the estate of Lord Lansdowne, last week, for non-payment of rent, by the middleman. One person was killed by the fall of his own house, which he was directed to pull down." At all events, it cannot be said that this apparently cruel .aring down whole villages is confined to Con- system of t, servative landlords. Whigs and Tories alike seem indis posed to give their lands for nothing and support a pauper tenantry into the bargain. CHARGE OF. MANSLAUGHTER AGAINST A MILITARY OFFICER.—An inquest was held at Mallow, on Friday week, on the body of a child who was said to have died from the effects of-a blow inflicted on him with a whip by Captain H. K. Bushe, of the 59th Regiment. It ap peared that the captain was proceeding through a lane with two or three dogs, when the deceased struck one of the dogs and made him yelp. The captain then turned round arid gave the boy a severe blow with a long whip on the head, and the boy then fell against a wall, and would appear ultimately to have died from water on the brain. The jury. however, found a verdict of " Man slaughter against Captain she." STATE OF KILRUSH was struck on Saturday on the unfortunate unit rush. How the small farmers—or even the large o____ are to meet it is beyond their means of guessing. In the face of this dreadful distress it is melancholy to be re ceiving almost daily reports of further evictions—of houses levelled, and their occupants flung upon the ratepayers. One morning's post brings the account of 12 houses le velled at Crag-64 persons evicted from them. At Clon redden, the property of the Marquis of Conyngham, 36 houses levelled-240 persons evicted. At another place, ther rate of 6s A Kul- on the property of Mr. Benton, 35 persons evicted report goes on to say :—" The wreckers are still at work at Carrigaholt and Dromellihi. The moment I have them catalogued you shall have lists, together with lists of about 13,000 persons unhoused, for the last two years, in the union of Listowel." THE SYNOD OF THIIRLES.—Tha result of the discus sions of the Irish Roman Catholic hierarchy have not been officially announced. The synod, however, have not been content w:th declaring against the colleges. A Roguish university is announced by private subscription. The clergy are to contribute to it 2 per cent. out of their in comes, and Dr. Cantwell has put down at once £ll,OOO. A committee is formed, and the scheme has already ad vanced to that point where most Irish schemes have st ,ppecl.

A little girl aged six years, named Mary Anne Kelly, has been for six months past in a dying state. An old hag, who professed to be a " fairy woman," persuaded the parents of the child that it was " fairy struck," and offered to cure her if they would comply with her directions. They agreed, and the child was to be placed on a shovel at night, in the open air in ist the name of the d-1, after having a prayer said o ver it. „ i In the course of the night the mother was to say to it, • " Mary Anne, if you are able to come in, do so." This was done for three nights in succession, on the last of of which the child died. While enduring the cold of the nights the cries of the little sufferer were most piteous ; and who can but wonder that a woman, and that woman a mother, should not be softened by the distressing cries of the child of her bosom, who was an idiot, had been born blind, and although six years of age had never walked ! The mother and doctress have been committed for manslaughter. EXTRAORDINARY CREDULITY.—A woman, named Millikin, has for many years been practising upon the credulity of silly women, in Belfast and its neighbour hood, by making them believe that, if they gave her money, she could, by digging a small hole in the earth, muttering some words, and making the sign of the cross, order guineas to come up, ad libitum. She has always , some plausible reason ready to account for her want of success, and more money is required. In this way she has been practising Imo! s, from one of whom, Anne Telford, she managed, within a short period, to get the sum of £2 ss. 6d. Telford, finding that no gold was coming, and having pawned almost every article of clothing she possessed to satisfy the demands of this woman, made her master acquainted with the facts, who had Millikin arrested and brought before them on _man who since, was ' " ' Monday e transporter offence ; a punishment which was commuted to two years similar mprieonment APPALLINC ; MURDER AND SUICIDE ;edy was enacted at Bain' Tuesday a ear Cavan. shocking tra nagh, r go at large, ;murdered a young Le doctor form( the idea th; dint) I state c were advise( ld remove d infirm, a young lad waiting mut w ye him h, losely kept out of acted he was. and to her, on leaving the then went down stairs, wen of him until about This is t he' becalm( deeply e to withd him to the countr Miss Creighton, named Faris, a his aunt's r to shave I ng from him t pears, r hen it is r ig further a near tive of 1 n. and told her that t Sep• 17 ia ...........ere.............___............. -- to th e extensive ,bleachwork s of Mess r s. % P; rn , Sons, and Owden, at Glen rno re, near Lto frO arrived opposite the works in about eight 11 1,0 0 1 4 the time of starting.

A. A. Cochrane, son of the Earl of Dundonald, in the Bay of Fundy, when in the vicinity of St. Andrews, one of the first-class boys belonging to the ship fell overboard, and was, to all appearance, irre trievably lost ; but the young commander of the Sappho, who is a chip of the old blo - ck, notwithstanding the tide was running like a mill-race, threw off his coat, nobly plunged into the water, and, we are gratified to chronicle the fact, succeeded in saving the boy's life, to the admira tion of the whole ship's company. Accounts have been received from the Cape of Good Hope to the beginning of July. With respect to political or commercial matters they communicate little of interest. Their maritime information is, however, of a very distress ing nature. The weather during the greater part of June bad been extremely boisterous, occasioning a fearful amount of shipwreck and damage along the coast. Among the more serious disasters are reported the loss of the queen of the West, from Bombay to Liverpool ; the Asiatic, from Adelaide to London ; the Royal Albert, from London (cargo discharged); the British Settler, from the Cape to London ; the Grindlay, from Sincapore to London ; and the French ship L'Aigle, from Sumatra to Marseilles. The sacrifice of life had been large in one or two cases, the whole of the crews having been lost. —The Tablet contains a ANOTHER POPISH MIRACLI long account of the miraculous cure effec_ vent of the Congregation at Brussels, on the person of a riving lady, who having fractured her knee had long Walie rs d on'erutehes, anclwas moreover in the last stag consumption, her case being considered hopeless by the physicians. " Having," says the account, no more to hope from man, she turned to heaven, and put all her conildence in the Blessed Virgin, Mother of the Seven Dolours. She made successfully three Novenas in honour of this good mother; and, though her illness only increased, so far from losing courage, her confidence was doubled. During the third Novena, which she made in conjunction with several pupils of the Convent, her strength diminished to such an extent that she was considered to be on the point of death." In the night between the two last days of the third Novena, however, she suddenly felt herself miraculously cured, being " not only," as the account says, "cured instantly and completely of her broken kne?, but all symptoms of consumption having likewise entirely disigipeated." lnouncing her intention, however, of followin ever the g prefect tcPlf shill 'n the )erformance.

For a moment there was a serious alarm amongst the thousands of spectators gathered there, for the head of the fair amazon had struck against the balustrade as she took the involuntary leap, and she lay senseless for some time in the arms of the gentleman who had received her in her fall ; but, to the great amusement of the com pany, on hearing the smack of the whip with which the grooms were pursuing the fugitive horse, she started up, exclaiming, " Don,t hurt the horse, it is worth 50,000 francs, and belonged to the Pacha of Damascus," and vaulted once more over the balustrade, seating herself again in the saddle, amidst the laughter and applause of that immense multitude, who cheered and encored with the most perfect good humour, while the lady, in spite of the distressed state of her apparel, her disordered hair, and ragged finery, stood up and bowed with all the grace , hich he and pre s s'ence °f m . ind imaginable of Atlas. , IMPORTANT DISCOVERIES BY MR.

The passages leading to the entrance to Iments were constantly crowded. The Irving House contains five hundred and t rty gue objects she bad expected to see. Tho flag of Sweden and Norway floated from the flagstaff of the Irving House all the evening. After eleven o'clock, p.m., the crowd began to gather again, as it was known that the Musical Fund Soci.tY.?( tins city intended ruing u.." - nignr. At the appointed time the serenading band, num bering two hundred instruments, made its appearance, and taking its station in Reade-street played several national • f Mad'lle I -- r- airs under the windows c_ _ _ s apart ments. The crowd by this time occupied all the space in front of the Irving House, extending some distance up and down Broadway ; many thousands in all. The marble courses topping the first story of Steward's new buildings were loaded with spectators, and all the windows of the Irving and the adjoining buildings were alive with heads. Immediately under Mad'lie's parlour, fronting on Broad way, a company of firemen in their red shirts stationed themselves with their tall lanterns, making a very pic turesque part of the scene. The view of the crowd from the windows of the Irving House was very grand and striking. The musicians now came into Broadway, where they played a number of airs, among which " Hail Columbia" and " Yankee Doodle" were predominant. Madlle. Lind's appearance at the window was the sienal for a storm of shouts and cheers prolonged almost with out end. During the performance of " Yankee Doodle" she kept time to the music with much spirit, and at the dose requested its repetition. She listened, again with evident delight, clapping her hands when the band had as Correspondent finished. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE, DONCASTER ST. LEGER.—The prophecy of John De North in the Doncaster Gazette of Friday is as follows : Voltigeur the champion over a field of ten, and if Pitsford secures second place, Cyprus, Chatterbox, and The Bee hunter will lay close upon his wake. The Aberdeen Journal says that L. Edmonds, Esq„ one day last week, shot eleven fine stags in Glencallater, Braemar. They had strayed from the herd and got bewil dered, and he brought them down in nearly as many shots. QCOMNG MATCH FOR £2oo.—The great quoitin'g match. for £2OO and the championship took place on Tuesday week, at Carlisle, between Charles Haywood, of Oldham, near Manchester, " the Lancashire pet," and John Rennie, of Alva, in the South of Scotland, " the Highland gymnastic chief." The match closed, after some of the finest play ever witnessed, in favour of Rennie, by 16 shots, he having scored 41 to Haywood's 25. The quoits were never from the hob, frequently closing it up, apparently putting off all chance of obtain ing a shot; yet these "closers" were frequently put out by both men.

It would have been difficult to prescribe a demeanour more becoming under invented words nior suitabie tha'n those which' h might - quail. The prisoner gratefully'seconded these humane efforts, but without any flurry of spirits or nervous agitation.

She surmised, and that correctly, that it was th e blood of her unfortunate nephew, who, she thought, had wounded himself, and then fled from the house into the plantations adjacent to it. She tracked this second stream of blood to the closed door of a pantry adjoining the kitchen, but not opening into it. On pushing open this door, which was merely closed to, but not fastened, she found him bathed in blood, and just expiring. He never spoke, and died in a few mi nutes. Nothing is known of the proceedings of Dr. Creighton after his leaving his aunt's room, beyond what the position of the bodies indicated. There was no wit ness to it, the servant man having gone for milk for breakfast. From the situation and position of Miss Faris's body, it is supposed - that when the murderer entered the kitchen, she was in the act of stooping to take up the teapot that stood before the fire ; that he seized her by the hair, and dragged her head forcibly backward, and then in flicted the wound that all but separated the head from the trunk. The second stream of blood indicates that he inflicted the fatal wound on his own throat while stand ing beside her body, and then walked out of the kitchen and into the pantry, where his body was found. They will both be buried in the o.
