EFFECTS OF A FALSE REPORT.—In consequence of a ridiculous report circulated in Birmingham that the guar dians of the poor were about to send a number of the pauper children in the asylum to Australia, a large con course of persons assembled in front of that institution on Wednesday week, and gave vent to great anger against the parish authorities. They were repeatedly assured that there was not the least foundation for such a report, but the infuriated populace would not be satisfied, and the result of this false rumour has been that nearly 100 chil dren, on the peremptory demand of their parents, have been delivered up to them by the authorities, in two days, thus considerably reducing the number of pauper children in the Birmingham Asylum, which was much y severe.

Fortunately, such was not the case ; but he had lost his sight, and for some time was quite insensible. Medical assistance was quickly at hand, and some hopes are entertained that i few weeks his sight may return.

If every person could indulge his own caprices on this day without any restraint except such as economical considerations might suggest, it is very clear that in a short time no place of amusement, and very few places of trade, would remain closed. Every shop would soon be opened when it was found that half the world would be likely to buy, and thus the rest of the Sabbath-day would be confined to one half of the po pulation instead of being extended to the whole. Nor would the destruction of its character stop here, for no person acquainted with our national disposition and ne cessities will conceive it probable that one class would see ng money seven days in the week instead of ix without speedily experiencing a desire to imitate so lucrative a practice. When the sacred character of the been obscured there would not remain be- mother r hind any influence strong enough to keep a thrifty trades man from his counter for twelve hours together. A man who would observe the day as a Sabbath would retrench it as a holiday, and thus competition and imitation would at length bring all to a common level of universal profanity and continuous toil.

M. Thalberg gave a morning concert on Monday last, in the Concert-room of her Majesty's Theatre, and found means to avail himself of the all-powerful attraction of Jenny Lind, notwithstanding her engagement to Mr. Lumley; an engagement, by the way, which seems to be of a singularly engrossing nature, and to preclude her from even accepting provincial engagements on her own account, after the opera season is over—as was shown by the recent refusal to accept the magnificent terms ten dered by the committee of the approaching Norwich Fes- tival.

THE POISONING AT A PURLIC DINNER AT NORTH AMPTON.—Edmund Franklin and Edward Randall—the former a respectable confectioner, and the latter a respect able youth in his employ —were tried at the assizes at Northampton, before Lord Chief Justice Denman, on Tu esday last, charged with the manslaughter of Wm. Corn field. The death of the deceased was caused by eating a quantity of blancmange, at a dinner given at the ordina tion of the Rev. G. Nicholson, an Independent minister, at Northampton, on the 7th of June last. The blanc mange, which was made by the prisoners, contained ar senic of copper (Scheele's green), commonly called " emerald green." It was used in the ornamental part of the blancmange, of which the deceased and several other persons partook. All who ate of the dish were made very ill, and the deceased expired at five o'clock the following morning. It was distinctly proved that the prisoners were aware of the deadly nature of this colouring matter, which they had nevertheless employed in the concoction of a dish intended to be eaten ; and it seems, moreover, that they had for years eaten the " emerald green" substance in ornamenting articles of confectionary, with a knowledge of its deleterious qualities, though they had at one time, upon having this fact especially pointed out to them, dis continued the practice.

In the neigh bourhood of Wisbech, the lightning, which was of unu sual brilliancy, struck a tree on the . farm of Mr. Thomas Moore, at Whitehall, North-brink, setting the tree on fire, and killing a ewe and a lamb which were standing close to it. A fire-ball entered the house of Mr. John Jealous, farmer, in Parson-drove, bursting through the roof, displacing the tiles, entering the attic, forcing its passage through the chambers beneath, and descending into the parlour, where it expended itself on the mantel piece, smashing the ornaments ranged for show.—A si milar freak was played off by a fire-ball in the house of Mrs. Smith, of St. Edmund's.—The storm raged with violence for several hours, and during its continuance there was a considerable fall of rain, hail, and ice.
