The ivory halls so elaborately carved, and the ingenuity with which they are constructed, have long excited admiration, and surprise at the artistic skill and means by which so many concentric balls can be carved one within the other. I know not whether any one else has made the discovery, but the truth is, that each bail is constructed of two pieces, the edges of which are so finely scraped dawn, that the edge of one hemisphere is made to overlap its counterpart with the greatest nicety. Thus one ball is coil) , enclosed within another. The joinings are then united by a pecu liarly strong cement, aided by the employment of steam and pressure. Any one who wishes to make the expen sive trial will soon ascertain the fact by applying a very powerful heat to one of these balls, which will open at the joints in due time.—Dublin University Mayaziue. BRENNAN, THE HiGnwAYmAN.-:Bretinan died by the rope. He was hanged in the town of Clonmel, in or about the year 1808, together with an accomplice called "The White Pedlar." Vv remember the occasion well. The member for Tipperary. the Hon. Montague Matthew, a brother of the late Lord Llandaff, strongly interested himself to procure a remission of his sentence for the convict. It was his belief that he might he effectually reclaimed from his dangerous courses, and render good service to society by his active exertions as a police officer. The Duke of Richmond was Lord Lieutenant at that time—and, when the county member vehemently presses! his soft, is said to have answered him, " will consent to your proposal upon one condition." " What is that ?" eagerly interposed Mr. Matthew, determined that. no trifle should stand between him and the object of his wishes. " That you," said the jocose viceroy, " should he hanged in his stead." Of Brennan, an anecdote was then current, which proves him to have been as ready-witted, as he was held caring. An old banker of Clonmel, Solomon Watson, was led by curiosity to visit Lim it, his confinement. Brennan ob served to him that he, of all men, should not rejoice in his misfortunes. " Why so ?" asked Solomon ; '' why should not 1, as well as all other honest and peaceable citizens, rejoice in the capture of so dangerous a charac ter as ?

It was upon a first of August that England, in her generosity, gave freedom to her negrces. The day is a blessed ene in the calendar of the Black, The glorious anniversary has never once passed in Jamaica without finding the liberated man happier than he had been during all the months and days preceding it. A fortnight before its advent, the approach of the precious day was already visible in the accelerated movements and happier tone of the labourer's spirits. The interval was a jocund one; every negro, however poor, laid in his little stock for the auspicious day. and gratitude overflowed in virtuous merriment. The scene and the actor are nc longer the same; both are benumbed by the cold cloud that passes over them. "In 1848," dismally writes an authority on the spot, "NO ONE CAN AFFORD TO BE lIAPPY." Sad and bitter words, unnatural, and unacceptable to ,the ear of God. The first of August, 1848, differed in no respect. are are told, from the day that went before and the day that followed it : yet its gloom was intolerable. For the first time the, hypocrisy and falsehood of the great gift was suspected. The day reminded the sable eons of the for mer benevolence of their rulers ; it a:so brought more poignantly home the melancholy reflection that Christian England has become the great nourisher of slavery, and that their own tenure of freedom has, by England's act, lost the value of a solitary year's purchase. To save pence, Great Britain has perpetuated the tortures of the African. The dark labourers in the distant isles were conscious of the dr, , adful fact, and meeting their brethren, - refused to rejoice. The f iat had gone forth. The accu mulated sufferings of negro slaves had already been com municated. Cuba was alive with shrieks, and red with blood. "In 1848, NO ONE COULD AFFORD TO alit HAPPY." But more than this ! Ruin has taken possession of the British West Indies. Jamaica is 'prostrate ; business in that island is at an end ; the population is starving. Negroes thrown out of employment, in order to live have taken to the trade of fruit selling. The market, deluged with fruit, yields no return to the sellers. Those who should be purchasers, not of their fruit, hut of their ho nest labour, bevildered and dismayed, tliink less 'of England than of the United States ; and to think of the stars and stripes, is to seal the doom of those who till now have thanked Heaven on their knees for the blissful first of August. Can we wonder that " in 1818," and on the island of Jamaica, "NO ONE CAN 1.17011 D TO fl HAPPY ?" LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (ny EXPRESS MONEY MARKET. YESTERDAY. The market is quiet, but trm.

The condition of a large portion of the Essex white What was supe rior to that of last week, which e- abed factors to obtain fully the rates of Monday last. Inferior runs were a heavy sale at that day's quotations. In free foreign Wheat the transactions were limited to tlr acl- al wants of the millers. who had to pay the extreme value of last week. Very little business was done in bonded or floating cargoes. Barley sold on about the same terms as last week. The fresh arrivals of Oats have been un important in amount, and the trade ruled dull at previous prices. Beans and Peas were una'tesed in value. The top Price of town-made Flour remains nominally the same as last quoted ; but ship and country marks were difficult of disposal, with the turn in price in favour of the buyer. SMITHFiELD CATTLE AIARKET.-YESTERDAY. For Beef perhaps our top quotation is rather more freely given for the best qualities. There are a few more Sheep, but the average quality not so good; trade is exceedingly dull, and late prices w►th difficulty supported, except a few choicest de scriptions. Calves are rather dearer, the supply beingzhorter. Good Pigs are in demand at higher prices. A man, named Tomkins, is in custody at Tonbricige Wells, for attempting to murder his wife by cutting her throat with a razor. The poor woman still lives, but-her recovery is doubtful. OUTRAGES IN TIPPERARY.—On the.3oth Ult., Capt. Scully, relative of the M.P. for Tipperary, and of the Mr. Scully who was shot some years since near Cashel; together with Mr. James Scully, his son, and a servant named Carroll, drove twenty-five head of cattle into a farm, the property of the late Mr. E. Scully. The pos session of this farm was in dispute, and a care-taker, who held it for the other claimant, attempting to prevent the entrance of the cattle, was fired at, wounded, and his fife is despaired of. Informations have been taken against all the above-named parties. THE CURRENCY IN CHlNA.—China has hut one coin peculiar to herself, which is totally inadequate, not only for mercantile purposes, but for domestic accommodation. This is a copper one called "cash," which is a cireular piece of money about the size of our farthing, and of half its weight, and therefore about half its thickness. In the centre is a square hole, for the convenience of steileing them together, and on the coin certain characters are in scribed in relief. Incredible its it may appear, there are an immense quantity of spurious " cash" in circulation. These coin are strung together in hundreds, and com monly twenty in each hundred are bad. When a shop keeper is asked why he mixes this had coin, which he will not receive back again, he answers, he does not know, but it is " China custom." I have heard of one place in the interior of China where there are none but spurious cash in circulation.—Dublin University Magazine. - DEPRECIATION ALLOWANCE.—Captain Huish has ad dressed a lone and very able l e tte r t o th e di rec t ors o f th e London and long Railway, on " the present condition of their moving stock, with rerna i ks on th e na ture and necessity of a depreciation allowance." Some persons, pretending to great practical knowledge of rail way statistics, have contended for the necessity of a very large annual allowance for depreciation of stork ; and this assumed expense, and other equally unfounded suppositi tious statements respecting the extent and character of wear and tear of rails and road, have tended to induce a feeling of distrust in the stability of payment of good or moderate dividends to railway proprietors. The report of Captain Huish will dispel all, and for ever, the doubts that exist respecting the loss annually sustained from wear and tear of stock. He shows by clear and unquestionable statements that the loss is comparatively insignificant, and that the dividends of the London and North-Western Company are not likely to be sensibly diminished by one of the several operations which the public are accustomed to hear are slowly but surely destroying railway property. THE RAVAGES OF SMALL-PDX.—In these days, when vaccination has so much mitigated the virulence of this disorder, few can realize its destructive ravages ere Jen ner's discovery lessened the ills incident to humanity. The following sketch will he read with painful interest. It is related by Mr. Samuel Bamford, in the first number (just published) of his " Early Days :—" Several cases of virulent small-pox broke out - amongst the children of the Manchester workhouse. My little sister Hannah, then in the fourth year of her age, and as lovely a specimen of child-like beauty as I ever beheld, took the disorder and died ; and in 28 days afterwards, my little brother James, then in the second year of his age, followed her to eternity. A few weeks only had passed when my grandfather Bat tersby died, at Middleton ; and we were mourning after mourning, three persons of our family and kindred having thus been called to another world. But further trials wero yet at hand. My mother bore up like a Christian heroine; my father submitted in silent resignation ; whilst my uncle was probably as much affected as any of the three. Weeks, however, wore away, grief was mitigated, and tears were again almost dried, when a female, whose manners and con versation indicated :that she had seen better days, was announced to be ill of fever, Everything was doge for her which good nursing a n d th e me di ca l s kill o f t h ose da ys could efect ; but she con: jutted to get worse, and her reco very becoming hopeless, she wished some to make prayer for her. My uncle, as humane as he was trustful to God, knelt down by her bedside, as had been his wont in other cases, and prayed with a solemnity and feeling which softened and comforted her heart, and she begged he would visit her again before she died ; he did so, and with thanks on her lips, and an assurance of a joyful hereafter, she expired. In a few days my uncle became unwell; his indisposition increased ; the strong man was prostrated by the infecting disorder; and his last words were—' Hannah lam coining ; Jemmy, lam coming !' I slept in the sam room with my uncle during the former part of his illness, and I took the disorder, which was now pronounced to be fever of a malignant kind, or what would be called in these days, a typhus of the worst type. My mother would nurse me herself as much as her other pressing duties permitted; at all events, she was determined thap. I should not suffer front want of attendance during the night, and she had me removed to her own room and her own Teed, my father going to sleep in another apartmeat. She 'arts tenderly a,ssi duotea, nursing nee as a dove would its young ; but I eunk and sunk, until at last consciousness departed, and I knew no more. How long I remained in this condition I have no knowledge, but it must have been a considerable time; probably a week or two ; and when consciousness returned, I was in another bed, in the same room, and my mother was delirious and raving, in her own bed beside me. Some days and nights passed in this manner, my mother at times insensible, and at other times pray ing on behalf of herself and family ; my father also fre quently knelt at her bedside, praying God, 'if it se pleased Him, to let this cup pass away : nevertheless, not his wilt, but God's be done.' At length, one night, as I recollect, my fat her, my brother, my sister, and the nurses, stood around my mother's bed. She was conscious of her approaching end, and wished to take leave of us Ka. That was a solemn time: she would have me wrapped ia blankets, and brought to her. Every one was in tears. My father besought God to sustain and s c i o i m e fort invokedhe i n , that n gs n al l t 1 1 , 1 e u t i t l l u a s n b a a r i , d d a an ( d l e f t i e d d r e ; n ' s m h d e was about to leave. As the nurse held me I stretched out my arms towards my dying parent, when, bles sing me with a fervent blessing, she said I should soon be better when she was gone. I remember no more of this sad scene. My taller went beck to the bed front whence he had arisen to take this last farewell; and the next. thing I recollect was ray awakening one night. and becoming aware of a terrible stillness. I listened to bear my mother breathing, or praying; but nothing could I hear, end I lav some time in a state of end foreboding. After gazing long in the darkness, I thought I could p erce i ve t h at the curta i ns o f my mother's bed were drawn back, and that something white and perfectly still lay there, which I concluded was my mother's cospae, and 1. began to cry. In a short time there was a light in the next room, and a s.tund of feet, and doors were opened and shut, and there was murtz passing and repaseng, with the clatter of tea-things; and the pencils heenn to talk, some of ;hem in a very cheer ful strain ; and they seemed to be sit: leg down to tea; I then called out, nod one or two came het° t ream, spoke comfortingly e! ; they like xis: , e.e, pxl roe so in blankets and cerric ine into the room they had come from, and in paaeiag my mother's bed I saw her lying dead, and covered with a sheet."/ : r2_ in the -street, en PrG. to an d -street, o s i o l u t t lr: mid? resaid rds, le TA O sou * d cop* ally 19 th-east Square w hich Blake, being ng LOt )I:SE S Ir.
