THE PRETENSION OF TASTE.—Taste has frequently an imaginary existence, unconnected with the intellect. It is merely hereditary or acquired, and descends from father to son, with his prLjudices and estate. The manor house, the hounds, and Somerville go together. Certain authors are adopted into families. Bunyan has the sacredness of a legacy ; the songs of Watts are bound up with earliest days at mothers' knees; and Gray's " Elegy" incloses a domestic interior of warmth and affection in every stanza. There are hymns which have been intoned through the noses of three generations, and will probably reach a tenth, with all the music and endearment of their ances tral twang. In such cases the heart, not the understand ing, is the source of interest, and admiration is only a pleasure of memory. Taste is often one of the aspects of fashion. Folly borrows its mask, and walks out with wisdom arm-in-arm. Like virtues of greater dignity, it is assumed. The furniture and decorations of a room are arranged to indicate the serious and graceful sentiments of the occupant. Bishop Sanderson looks gravely on Pe trarch through his gold frame. Boccacio sparkles over a grim treatise of Calvin, and a ruffle is smoothed in Aqui nas. Addison sketched a student of this order, in whose library he found Locke " On the Understanding" with a -paper of patches among the leaves, and all the classic au thors—in wood, with bright backs. To such readers, a new book of which people talk is like a new costume which a person of celebrity has introduced. It is the rage. Not to be acquainted with it is to be ill dressed. The plea sure is not of literature, but of vanity. The pretended taste is a polite fraud of society.—Willmott's Pleasures of Literature. PLEASURES OF A STEAMBOAT RACE ON THE Mts. sount.—While lying at Jefferson City, we were overtaken by another boat, belonging to an opposition company, and as soon as she was discovered, the bell was rung violently for " all on board," and the fires heaped with fuel for a race. I am a great advocate for speedy travelling, and like the sensation quite as much as Dr. Johnson, pro vided T am seated in a " post-chaise ;" but in this in stance there was a large drawback on my pleasure, for in stead of sitting behind a docile team, I was cheek-by-jowl with a high-pressure engine, in danger of being cooked to a bubble in hot steam, or blown as food for fishes into the cold river. I looked anxiously to the shore, and felt a longing desire for a stroll in the woods, which became more intense as the black smoke gurgled out of the fun nel ; for though I did not study the science of " Fumo graphy" in Paul Dogherty's school, by which a man can tell by the smoke from the kitchen chimney what his neighbour has for dinner," I was sufficiently familiar with the murky element to know that there was an explosion in our pot if we persevered much longer. We have it on the authority of our ancestors, " that a hen on a hot grid dle betrays a world of uneasiness," and I thought of the troubles of the poor bird as I fidgeted about the deck, with the hot rosin sticking to my shoe soles ; while to ag gravate the circumstan c e s o f our d anger , th oug h i t was very evident we had no chance with our opponent, the order was still to heave on more coal and tar staves; and as she drew quite close to our starboard quarter, the word was passed to " try a side of fat bacon ;" but the question of speed being perfectly decided, the passengers unani mously remonstrated, and compelled the captain to post pone the " bustin" to some more favourable opportunity. —Kelly's Excursion to California. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-MONDAY. (CONTINUATION FROM FIRST EDITION OF TUESDAY LAST.) Mr. HUME nominated the select committee on the Income and Property Tax, namely—Mr. Hume, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Horsman, Mr. Herries, Mr. Labouchere, Lord Harry Vane, Mr. Disraeli, Mr. T. Baring, Mr. Henley, Mr. F. Peel, Mr. Cobden, Mr. Roebuck, Mr. Ricardo, Mr. Vesey, Mr. Beckett, and Mr. Dennison.—A long conversation ensued, in the course of which Mr. HERRIES remarked that Mr. Hume and his coadjutors were evidently bent upon making the tax permanent. He did not think the committee a suitable one, and he declined to be a member of it.—The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER agreed in thinking that the committee would not gain the confidence of the house, but he would observe that much difficulty had arisen from the refusal of many members to serve on the committee.—Mr. FRESHFIELD moved that the order of the day for the nomination of the committee be dis charged.—Lord J. RUSSELL could not vote for discharging the committee, but there was one name to which he should object --he meant the Chancellor of the Exchequer.—Upon a division the amendment of Mr. Freshtield was rejected by 103 to 9-1.- 31r. HUME then expressed his willingness to leave the nomi nation with the Government.—Lord J. RUSSELL said he would undertake the selection of a list, and submit the i.ames on Fri day.—The house then resolved itself into a committee on the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill.—Mr. WALPOLE stated the amend ments upon which he intended to insist-Ist, he was desirous to lay down more clearly the constitutional principles on which the measure was founded; 2ndly. to make the bill sufficiently complete to prevent the necessity of future legislation ; and 3rdly, to take care that the law when passed should not be allowed to slumber. BIRKENIIEAD COMMISSIONERS. On Monday evening a special meeting was held at the Board Room, Hamilton-square. Present, John Laird, Esq. in the chair, and Messrs. Brvans, Gough, Rae, Greene, Ravens croft, Bailiff, Colson, Mills, Lightbound, Tyler, Goiborne, Watson, Stevenson, Milnes, Cole, and Pike. THE SPECIAL MEETING Mr. GREENE said, before the proceedings commenced he wished to ask a question or two from the Law Clerk. He would read certain resolutions, advertised in the newspapers, relative to the last special meeting of the Board, which did not appear to be signed either by the Chairman or the Law-Clerk. lie wished to know whether they were inserted by the autho- Tity of the Board. The CHAIRMAN said he could not say; he was not present on the occasion. Mr. GREENE said the proceedings he referred to occurred at a special meeting of the General Board. The CHAIRMAN said the better way would be to have the proceedings read, and then any question which arose upon them could be asked, but if it was a special question it could not he asked without previous notice. . _ Mr. GREENE said his question was not a special question. The CHAIRMAN, however, thought the better way would be to have the minutes read first. Mr. GREENE consented, and the Deputy Town-clerk read the minutes of the last general board, and also of the special meetings, the first, postponing the laying the rates until after the election, and also the one rescinding that resolution, and laying the rates on the 17th of May. Mr. GREENE then proceeded to observe that his object in asking the question was in consequence of seeing the resolu tions of the Commissioners advertised in the papers, without the name of either Chairman or Law-clerk. He then showed that some of the statements contained in the resolutions were not founded on fact ; and asked why it would require an act of parliament to change the time of levying the rates? and said lie should object to the payment of the amount for advertising and printing the resolutions. This led to some warm discussion, M the course of which Mr. Greene denominated the proceeding connected with the laying of the rate as disgraceful; but on the Chairman inter fering, Mr. Greene withdrew the word. The proceedings of the vario us Committees were then read and confirmed. According to the minutes of the Ferry Com mittee, it appeared that the receipts for the month of Aim - , 1850, were . t 1,957 55., and for the sam e month, 1851, .4'1,603 ' 4s. ld. —and from the 24th of April to 31 s t o f May, in last year, .42,364 Is. 7d.,—and in the prese nt year , E 1,857 4 5. 7d. THE TOWNSHIP RATES. On the Finance Committee's proceedings being r ea d , the question of the township rates was raised, and the conduct of the Treasurer respecting five claims made by tenants of Mr. Gough was spoken of as improper by several of the Commis sioners, but the claims were rejected by a majority of one. The next subject discussed was the appeal of Mr. Brown against the validity of the rate, Mr. Watson, and one or two others, being for affirming the rate without hearing the apel lant at all ; but under the advice of the Town-clerk, it was agreed to hear him by his attorney. Mr. TOWNSEND was then admitted, and, at great length, stated the grounds on which he considered the rate invalid, afterwhich he withd r e w , an d t h e T OWN-CLERK gave it as his opinion that the ra t e was valid • but a divison took place on the question, the app ea l being ilismissed by 10 to 3. The Court sat untd nearly ten o'clock. Eittraturr. POETRY.

IMIEEMMMM.%IIMEI THE GREAT EXHIBITION. The receipts on Monday amounted to £2,129. The num- ' ber of persons who entered was esti m ated at from 45 t 050,000. It will be remembered that the honour of a personal in terview by the Queen was promised the contributors about the time the building was opened; and it was deemed proper in fulfilment of that promise to give her Majesty's gracious patronage of the Exhibition a more decided and positive character. Accordingly, when the royal party presented themselves at the Crystal Palace on Monday some 300 exhibitors were in their places to re ceive them. The public, we fear, hardly do justice to the extreme sensibilities of this class; jealous as they naturally are, each in his own department, for the maintenance of their several excellencies, it is an extraordinary event with them to be brought face to face with the royalty of Eng land. Lips and tongues, that before ordinary mortals Iwould run freely on in the labours of explanation , become confused and falter when the Queen asks what they have to shew. There were many manifestations of that kind on Monday ; and one distinguished contributor, a manu facturer of warlike weapons too, fainted under the excite- ment. The number of those who paid the shilling admission fee on Tuesday was 48,302, and besides these there were present the season ticket holders, and exhibitors and at tendants.—The Morning Herald of Wednesday says— " The floodgates of the population were apparently set loose yesterday, and filled the building to overflowing. People may talk as they please about its capabilities, but it was crowded, and no mistake. The transept swarmed, and a dense human stream, in which there were many currents, eddies, and obstructions, poured along the naves, rendering locomotion extremely difficult. The great bulk of the visitors were evidently strangers, and had made their appearance for the first time—their undis guised admiration of the wonders displayed around them was quite refreshing, as contrasted with the insouciant conduct of the fashionable visitors on Saturday. As might be anticipated, there were many_" lost muttons" among the crowd and in a remote colonial settlement we en countered a hulking country lad of twelve or fourteen years old, blubbering at a rate which put Eugene's ini mitable statue of ' The Unhappy Child' quite to shame. He had lost mother,' land his fright was still greater when placed in charge of one of the police. A suggestion was made at an early stage of the Exhibition for a bureau des objets perclus, including babies; and it may be neces sary, if the crowd continues to increase in the present ra tio, to establish acme such department." On .„est number of visitors on any single day entered the Palace. They amounted to 55,000. Thursday was bleak and blowy, but above 50,000 persons entered the doors during the dal. During these two days more than £5,000 was received. Colonel Sibthorp was observed in the Crystal Palace on Wednesday, evidently highly interested in the magnificent display before him. He paid particular attention to the American and French departments, and was apparently astonished at the ingenious production of Colt, the gun maker, so celebrated for his six barrelled revolver pistol. He was also much pleased with the splendid articles of vertu displayed in the French department. He spent nearly the whole of the day in the building. MR. HOPE'S JEWELS.—The attractions of the nave re ceived a great accessio❑ on Thursday in the magnificent collection of jewels exhibited by Mr. A. B. Hope, M.P. Among them is a wonderful pearl of almost fabulous di mensions and splendour. It is set as a jewel, and is the size of a small pear. There is also a very large emerald, and a fine specimen of the precious stone called cat's-eye, formerly the property of the King of Candy. Then we have the handle of Murat's sword cut from a single beryl, and a diamond cut curiously against the grain in the form of a cross. There is also a magnificent opal, a jacynth, and an immense ruby, both with faces carved on them, besides which there are several rare stones from India, a curious topaz of two colours, the under side amber, the upper red, with several other gems of nearly equal beauty and value. The cage in which all this precious treasure is confined was all day surrounded by eager crowds; and if the munificent owner should have happened to be there incog. he must have been highly gratified at the frequent encomiums passed on his taste and liberality. The price of admission on Friday was 2s. 6d., and the weather, though on the whole fine, looked for some time uncertain and threatening; but notwithstanding these rather adverse influences £2,558 lls. was taken at the doors, and 26,134 persons entered the building. The Queen, accompanied by Prince Albert and the Royal guests at the Palace, resumed their survey of the Crystal Palace an Saturday, and their personal interviews with exhibitors. The portion of the building which they examined was the western half of the space devoted to machinery in motion, and as this is, perhaps, the most important part of the whole collection, the attention bestowed upon it was commensurately great. The illus trious party were attended by Mr. Cubitt, President of the Institution of Civil Engineers, and by Mr. Hens man, who has conducted with so much ability the manage ment of this great department. Mr. Dilke and Colonel Reid also accompanied the Royal visitors, while Mr. Cole took the young Princesses by a different route through the interior. Her Majesty examined with great care and interest the varied display of beautiful machines for the manufacture of cotton and wool, listening most patiently to the explanations given of each, and receiving exhibitors with a condescension which must have gratified them im mensely. At twelve o'clock the public were admitted, but from the attractions of Chiswick, or the doubtful ap pearance of the weather, or from some other cause, there was an unusually small influx of visitors. The numbers were only 12,986, and the receipts, notwithstanding the ss. admission charge, fell to £1,560 10s. Nothing of any interest occurred during the day, except the accidental ex plosion of one of Phillip's patent fire annihilators in the eastern division of the building. How it went off no one can tell ; but had it taken place yesterday, instead of on Saturday, great alarm, and even serious consequences might have resulted, for from the immense mass of vapour evolved, everybody would conclude that a fire had broken out. As it was, beyond the first start no harm was done. The fire annihilator being itself considered a fire, vigorous attempts were made to extinguish it with water.

The Goldsmiths' Company have resolved to spend £5,000 in the purchase of some of the magnificent plate exhibited at the Crystal Palace ; and the London Com mon Council has resolved to expend the same amount for some of the works of art adapted to decorate the city. The Dean of Windsor has invited the whole of his tenantry and the principal tradespeople of Burleigh, to the deanery of Windsor, in sections, that they may have an opportunity of availing themselves of day-tickets for see ing the Exhibition of the Industry of all Nations, returning to Windsor in the evening. Amongst other illustrations to explain the magnitude of the glass palace in an address given at Car Shield, West Allendale, on Saturday last, by Mr. Sopwith, it was mentioned that if each inhabitant of the parish (between six and seven thousand) could take to it a cottage of five thousand cubic feet the exhibition building would contain them all. Among the passengers from India by the Ripon, which arrived at Southampton on the 26th ult., was Mr. Robert Young, surgeon to his Highness the Newab Nazin of Ben gal, with rich presents for the Queen, which are to be displayed at the Great Exhibition. They consist of a native throne, a " jahpan" or howdah, with poles, the state trappings of an elephant-howdah, jhool, &c. Alto gether the value of these articles is estimated at a lac of rupees. Mr. Young, who is, perhaps, the greatest buff,lo and tiger hunter in Bengal, also brings with him a great variety of hunting trophies. He is a tall, powerful, and athletic man, and wears a formidable beard, an essential part of the costume of a " hakeem" at a Mussulman Court. Mr. Young is a nephew of the late Dr. Thomas Young, who was celebrated for his hieroglyphical and other discoveries. The Builder notices among the curiosities of the Indus trial Exhibition, " a model of the Great Victoria Pyra mid,' connected with a projected national cemetery on Working Common, and designed to contain 5,000,000 coffins, and when completed, to be 100 feet higher than the great Pyramid of Egypt ! A section exhibits. 94 stages of catacombs on a base of 18 acres, which multiplied by the several stages, will realise nearly 1,000 acres, to be redeemed from the cloud-land overhead, as the building progresses upwards into the void space above the earth. The material of the pyramid is to be brick, with granite facing, and the approach through a lofty Egyptian portal. Zigzag planes would lead by gradual ascent to the top, and there would be a central shaft with tubes, to ventilate the catacombs. The pyramid is to be surrounded by ce notaphs, columns, obelisks, groves, and terraced walks. " Not five years' travel," says the Times," nor a thou sand pounds, could enable a man to see what one shilling has now brought before his eyes. The spectacle was in tended to be little mere than a magnified ' exposition' on the original French pattern. It has turned out to be such a wonder as the world never saw. We read in Arabian fables that magicians could place before enchanted spec tators visible treasures of the universe. These very trea sures are now laid bodily at our feet by no other magic than that of nationa: power. These contributions are literally the offerings of the world. From all quarters of the universe has the Exi:ibition attracted its treasures. The only king in India sent kis crown, the coronet of his eldest son, and the turban of his prime minister. In the northwestern provinces of Hindostan resides a remote and unsophisticated community engaged in mining for iron. These primitive people have a worship and temple of their own. The temple contained a larop fashioned with rude ingenuity, and regarded as partak:og of the sanctity of the place. It was begged for the E x vhibition,' and wil lingly surrendered, to b e t ransporte d teil Thou and mil e s 191- the edification of Londoners at home." THE LIVER ' PO'OL STANDARD. enteral fßisrellanp. The shops in many of the towns of the north of Eng land were entirely closed yesterday. The Hull ➢ock Company have made a reduction of ten per cent. on the tonnage dues of that harbour. A line of screw steamers has been placed on the line between Bristol, Constantinople, and Malta, &c. The Cheviots and other high grounds to the north and north-west have this week again been capped with snow. There are now in the Mercantile Marine of Great Bri tain about thirty-five thousand apprentices. Cheltenham half a century ago was but one remove from a village. Since then its population has increased at the rate of 700 a year. The oak has burst into leaf before the ash this season— a most unusual occurrence, and looked upon as the har binger of a plentiful season. The stout-hearted wife of the brave Sir John Franklin, it is feared by the Scotch journals, is fast sinking under the weight of her prolonged and terrible trial. Henry Bell Brown, the Wesleyan minister who was convicted in the sum of £5 for ill-using his servant-girl, has been suspended from the ministry. Frederick Malpas, the servant of Mr. Wetherby, poultry dealer, Newgate Market, London, was fined 20s. and costs, a few days ago, for plucking a number of fowls alive! . . Government has introduced a bill to continue the sur vey of Great Britain, Berwick-upon-Tweed, and the Isle of Man, from the 31st of December, 1851, to the 31st of December, 1856. _ _ _ _ On Saturday the free Church Assembly had the subject of temperance and Highland destitution before them. The destitution in the Highlands, particularly in Skye, was said to be dreadful. _ _ _ A puffin or sea parrot, which was so exhausted as to be unable to fly any farther, was lately taken alive by a wo man near Brampton, Cumberland, whither it had proba bly been driven from the coast during a gale of wind. In consequence of the breaking of a beam, a loft over a stable in the Horseferry Road, London, fell down, a few days since, and four horses were killed by the oats and flooring which were precipitated upon them. A boy six years old, named :Makin, lately died at Wal sall, from inflammation of the bowels, caused by a large foreign bean, which he had swallowed, and which had lodged in the intestines, where it had begun to germinate. On Sunday, Mr. Drew, residing at Chatham, in cross ing the rail from the platform at Woolwich station, slipped down, and a train of empty carriages passing over him killed him on the spot. A gun-barrel maker at Birmingham was fined £290 on Wednesday last, by the magistrates of that borough, for counterfeiting the proof-house stamp upon twenty-nine barrels, heing £lO fer each barrel. _ _ An explosion took place on Tuesday, at Byer's Green Colliery, near Bishop-Auckland, by which three persons were severely injured, one of whom, Mr. Robson, the son of the principal viewer, is since dead. It is stated that the Rev. Mr. Bland, incumbent of a church in Norwich, who lately preached in a Socinian chapel has resigned his connection with the Church of England. The wife of a corn-porter, named Phillips, at Glouces ter, has drowned herself in consequence of 'alleged neglect by her husband. She went to her husband, who was carousing in a public-house, and leaving their infant with him, told him she would make an end of herself. Notwithstanding there have been recently three or four large new vessels launched on the Tyne, the shipwrights generally are but indifferently employed. At North Shields, for some time back, the majority of the ship wrights have been without a day's work. The bullion in both departments of the Bank of Eng land has increased from £13,568,049 to £13,704,854, being a difference of £136,805. The paper in actual cir culation has increased from £20,119,891 to £20,473,778, being a difference of £353,887. A respectable-looking man, named George D. Mayne, was committed for trial from one of the London police courts, on Thursday, after pleading guilty to a charge of having attempted to defraud an insurance company of £ll6, by claiming that amount for an alleged fire in the country, which never occurred. A magnificent service of plate, for which upwards of 500 gentlemen of all shades of politics in that city, con tributed (the subscriptions being limited to one guinea each), was presented to Sir J. K. Haberfield, the mayor of Bristol, on Wednesday last, at the Council-house, as a testimonial of respect and esteem. It is said that Captain Somerset wrote to his colonel from prison, inquiring what he should do under the cir cumstances. The reply of the colonel was short and pithy—" Write to Mr. Hardwick thanking him for his reproof, and atone with your purse to the policeman whom you have beaten." On Friday weak, the crier of Derby was sent round the town to give public warning that a great number of pick pockets had been seen in the place. Fifteen or sixteen suspected thieves were taken into custody during the day ; but they were discharged on the following morning, as it could not be proved that they had committed any theft. . . One of the arms of a windmill, which is situated near the roadside, at Middleton, near Shields, struck a boy on the side, a few days since, and hurled him a distance of nearly thirty yards, on to a railway. Several of the boy's ribs were broken, and his skull was fractured by falling on one of the rails, so that little hope is entertained that the lad will recover. While the girls of the national school at Doncaster were walking together along the side of the river Don, on Thursday week, a little girl, nine years old, who wished to overtake some of the other schools, ran down a steep bank with such speed that she was unable to stop herself, and was carried by her impetus down another bank into the river, wherein she was drowned. An errand boy is in custody at York for stealing the large sum of £l5O, the property of his master, a linen draper. The money was safely locked up in a cash-box, which the lad absconded with while left in the shop by himself for five minutes. He was subsequently appre hended at Tadcaster, and £l2O of the money found upon him. During a recent inspection of enrolled pensioners at Bristol, owing to one of the rear-rank men not closing up quick enough, when the word " fire" was given, his musket was on a level with the hand of the man before him, and in the discharge the poor fellow's hand was quite shattered, the flesh covering the fingers and knuckles being carried completely away. The Watchman of Wednesday last, gives a list of "dis trict returns," showing that the members of the Wesleyan society have decreased 55,852 in the past year. North Wales appears to be the only district in which the mem bers have increased in number. The deceptive appeals to popular clamour on the part of the " reformers" is assigned as the cause of the secessions. MANSLAUGHTER. - Two men, named Green and Reglar, met on Saturday last at Portland, and quarrelled —they separated, and on the evening of the same day, met again at the Ferry-bridge, where a renewal of harsh language took place, accompanied with blows, in the course of which Reglar knocked Green down, and the back of his head came with such force upon the ground as to cause his death. _ WATERLOO DAY.—It is generally understood that the Duke of Wellington will not have his usual banquet at the anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo. Such a meeting must naturally every year become more painful, as one after another of his companions-in-arms drops into the grave ; and the presence of so many Frenchmen in Lon don at this season furnishes a more graceful apology for omitting his grace's customary celebration. BENEFIT OF RAGGED SCHOOLS.—At a meeting, of the Ragged School Union, last week, the report stated many gratifying results respecting the children who had at. tended the schools. One girl, who had been sent abroad, had remitted £5 to her mother ; a boy had sent £lO to his father; and several had returned the passage money, with letters expressive of the utmost gratitude for the ad vantages which they had derived. A NEW DOCTRINE ON HYDROPHOBIA. — At a meeting of the Edinburgh Town Council a few days since, on the subject of issuing the usual proclamation against dogs being allowed to run about unmuzzled, Professor Dick gave it as his opinion that there was no such thing as hy drophobia in the lower animals ; what went properly by the name was simply an inflamation of the brain ; and that the disease in the case of human beings was caused by an over excited imagination worked upon by the popular delusion on the effects of the bite by rabid animals. FREE TRADE. — There are upwards of 200 houses and shops to let in Lincoln. Trade has been long and wo fully depressed, and the shopkeepers are all declaring that they cannot hold out much longer. "At Gringley," says the Doncaster Gazette," before the repeal of the corn laws every house was fully occupied, and amongst the labourers it was no unusual circumstance to find two families living in one dwelling. Things are now strangely changed, and such is the depression, under which all are more or less suffering, that 14 houses are now unoccupied, and the labouring population are reduced to the greatest misery and privation." JUVENILE HONESTY.—Lord Ashley (now the Earl of Shaftesbury), in a letter on the shoe-black society, says, —" These boys have been raised from the very lowest depths of society ; and to show the good effect of their training, I cannot do better than give an extract of a let ter which I have received The society, I rejoice to say, flourishes. Last week they earned nearly £ll. An Irish boy, one of the number, received a sovereign from a drunk. en man in place of a shilling, but returned it immediately. They make good use of the library and bath tickets. Their Bible reading and prayer every morning at the re pository, before going out, produces an excellent result. Several of them have removed to the model lodging. houses ; and, indeed, everything connected with them is so prosperous as to fill our hearts with thankfulness." GREAT CHESS TOURNAMENT. — A great chess tourna ment has been going on for some time, Herr Howitz, well known as an ingenious player, and particularly dis tinguished for his power of playing without seeing, having hitherto been the victorious combatant. Having v an _ quished his first antagonist, he had on Wednesday the perilous honour of contending with Mr. Staunton. The struggle excited very great interest among the amateurs present. Mr. Staunton is, since the retirement from the field of Mr. Lewis, acknowledged the champion of Eng land. The game played was a very fine one, and fully justified the expectations of the spectators. After a severe struggle, which lasted eleven hours, Mr. Staunton was defeated, Herr Howitz winning the first game of th e series. The remaining players well sustained their repu tation. A REMARKABLE CURE IN HOBART TOWN BY HOLLO. WAY'S PILLS AND OINTMENT.—Major Walch, of Well ington-bridge, Hobart Town, writes that Holloways Pills enjoy high reputation in Van Diemen's Land. He speak s of one man who had been for years under the treatment of medical practitioners, and was discharged from the hospital as incurable, and had become so miserably emaci ated and weak that he could only move about with the assistance of persons supporting him. In this c ond ition he commenced using these medicines, which haves() com pletely renovated his healtb that he is new become a stout and healthy-looking man, and his cure is solely to the use of Holloway's Pills. MORE " PROSPERITY."—In the Times of Monday, we have the following additional evidence of manufactur ing prosperity under Free-trade, in a letter from Notting ham :—"The depression in the hosiery trade extends to every branch, not excepting gloves or silk stockings, which are in no way affected by the round frame. No one can account for this. All at once the home trade in hosiery seems to have become nearly extinct, and foreign orders are scarcely more than a moiety of the average of former years." "The last fortnight," says the Worcestershire Chronicle, " has produced seasonable weather, and vegetation now wears a very luxuriant appearance. An ear of wheat was shown at Pilborough market, Sussex, last week, which had been gathered by Mr. Boxhall, at Stopham farm, in that neighbourhood." The Hereford Times says—" The prospect of a good crop of apples and pears was never more promising at this time of year than in the present. The pears are well knit, and look healthy. The apple trees are now in full bloom ; the blossom is kind, and the trees are free from insects." DISCOVERY OF IRON STONE, &c.—A most astonishing discovery of iron stone and beds of clay, from five to six yards in thickness, has lately been made on the estate of Lord Downes and Thomas Hinton, Esq., at Danby and Gissick, in the North Riding, which baffles all description, and which is likely to be a great benefit to the neighbour hood, as well as to the country at large. On Lord Downe's estate, in the manor of Danby, there is coal and limestone in great abundance. It is rumoured that a large and powerful company is now forming in London for the pur pose of working these valuable minerals. ATTEMPTING TO HANG A MAN.—At the Bedford Police -court, last week, a strange charge of attempting to hang William Driver, was preferred against Thomas Hartley. The complainant and defendant are weavers at the works of Messrs. Waud, and a dispute arose, re cently, between Messrs. Waud and their weavers. A turn-out was the consequence ; but Driver refusing to turn out, to punish him they put a string or strap round his neck, threatening to bang him if he did not turn out his fellow-workpeople. The magistrate treated the case as a common assault, and ordered the defendant to pay a fine of £1 and 10s. expenses. A TRIO OF PATRIARCHS.—The other day at a hair dresser's shop in Hyde, two hale and hearty old men, upon whom snows of ninety-five winters had descended, accidentally met for the purpose of being shaved. In a few minutes afterwards there entered another venerable old man, who has lived only ten years short of a century. The greeting of the old men was affecting, and ere they separated many jokes were cracked, and anecdotes related of men and things in the " good old times," before rail ways and steam-engines were heard of. One of them much lamented that he had not used himself better in his early days, " for," said he, " I have now to use a stick and spectacles." LUCKY RECOVERY.—On Monday, as Mr. George Travel, who was removing from a house he had for some years occupied in a yard in Angel-row, Nottingham, was clearing out the last fragments of his household stuffs, he directed a labourer to take a candle and look into a dark and dirty cupboard under the stairs, to see whether any thing was left there which required clearing out. The man, after groping for some time through a mass of accu mulated dirt, laid hold of something more bulky, which upon dragging forward to the light proved to be a bag of gold-500 sovereigns!—which the careful owner had de posited there and quite forgotten!—Doncaster Gazette. Loss OF THE NEPTUNE STEAMER.—The following is an extract of a letter from the underwriter's agent, dated Elsinore, June B.—" The steamer Neptune, bound to St. Petersburg, during a gale of wind last night got on shore at Swinemund, a dangerous reef about nine English miles north of this place. The passengers have been saved : part of them are here, and part in Sweden. Some indigo and other goods have been saved and brought in here. A steamer has been sent out to assist the Neptune; and it is expected that the cargo will be saved, but not the vessel, as she is full of water. She got on shore about 11 o'clock last night. Captain Smith accounts for the accident by his compasses being out of order." SINGULAR INTERMENT.—The old vestry inside Whit burn Church has recently been removed, and while the workmen were making the necessary excavations for lay ing pipes on the spot where it stood, they discovered the skeleton of a man and a horse, from the position of which it was evident that they must have been interred together. The skeleton of the man was found on the north side of the horse, his head being encased in stone, and lying to wards the west. It is supposed from the length of the hu man bones that the man must have been seven feet in height. The lower jaw measures thirteen inches, and con tains sixteen teeth, all entire. There was no trace of a cof fie, or anything to indicate the time when this singular in terment took place.—Sunderland Herald. THE EFFECTS OF LOVE.—An apprentice to a cabinet maker at Cambridge became smitten with the charms of a young girl. She, in a fit of coquetry, wrote him a let ter, declining his future attentions. This epistle was dispatched by post ; upon receipt of which the love sick youth proceeded up stairs, and tying two handkerchiefs together, attempted to strangle himself. He would doubtless have effected his purpose had not the upsetting of a chair frightened the landlady, who ran up stairs and found the young man insensible : she alarmed the neigh bours, and the handkerchiefs being loosened, he recovered. The girl, hearing of his devotion towards her, has since changed her mind : proving the truth of Milton's obser servation, " Love-quarrels oft in pleasing concord end." A FEMALE HIGHWAY ROBBER.—On the morning of the 21st instant, as a young woman named Caroline Forek, niece of the superintendent constable of Market Rasen, was taking a walk on the footpath leading from Mill-lane Rasen, to Linwood, on her reaching Linwood lordship she met a femalegipsy, who demanded her "purse and money." The young woman told the gipsy that she had neither; upon which the latter said, " Let us see," and instantly seizing Miss. F., she put her hand into her pocket and took a lawn pocket-handkerchief and a small box, with which she immediately decamped. Miss Forek was of course much frightened, and returned to Rasen, when she related the particulars of the robbery to her uncle, who shortly after apprehended a woman of the gipsy tribe call ing herself Adelaide Boswell. She was taken to the po lice-station, and identified by Miss F. as being the person who had stopped and robbed her. The stolen handker chief and box were found in her possession. The prisoner has been fully committed for trial. FORBIDDING THE BANNS.—At Burford Church, last Sunday, the minister was for the second time publishing the banns of marriage between William Cleeton and Anne Weaver, the former ostler and the latter cook at the Swan Hotel, Tenbury, when a female roseand forbade them. The clergyman intimated that he would presently see the party in the vestry, and the service, which bad been somewhat discomposed by this unusual interruption, was continued. At the interview the young woman said her name was Brown, and she, too, had been a servant at the Swan, where thy warm wooings of the ostler had stolen her heart, and they had been twice asked in church, once at Burford and again at Tenbury. In her misery she thus publicly forbade the Banns as a last resource to save her faithless lover for herself ; but the objections she urged were not valid ones in the eyes of the law, and so the fickle groom and his new love may yet be married, unless conscience back poor Mary's vain forbiddings.—Chelten ham Chronicle. MORMONS.—On Monday afternoon, the London con ference festival of the " Latter-day Saints," or Mormons (whose founder and prophet, Joe Smith, was murdered some time ago in the United States), took place at the Freemason's Tavern, Great Queen-street. _ About 1100 people of both sexes, - including a considerable proportion of young persons, were present. The proceedings were of a singular nature, commencing with a procession of the " twelve apostles," or " fathers in Israel," accom panied by " presidents of branches," by a number of young women dressed in white, and by twelve young men wearing large blue scarfs, and carrying a bible in the right hand, and a " Book of Mormon" in the left. In the course of the afternoon, a number of addresses were deli vered, and the proceedings were relieved by singing, per formed by the young persons before mentioned. An ac count of the rise and progress of the "Saints" was given, in the course of which it was stated that the total number in the United Kingdom, in January last, was 30,717; and that during the last 14 years more than 50,000 have been baptised in England, of whom 17,000 have emigrated to America. DIFFICULTIES ATTENDING A MATRIMONIAL ALLI ANCE.—The daughter of the Judge of the County Court of Lincolnshire, Miss Harriet Smith, has just been con ducted to the hymeneal altar by Gedney, Esq., of Brigg. The marriage was intended to be solemnized in the first instance by the Rev. J. Clarke, Roman Catholic priest, of Market Rasen, and then to be again performed on the following day according to the forms of the Established Church, at Hoolton. Miss Smith having imbibed the tenets of the Roman Catholic Church, was desirous of being united to her betrothed by a priest of that church. This, however, was forbidden by her parent, on account of his objections to Romanism. Matters having been ar ranged for the ceremony to take place according to the young lady's desire, this refusal of paternal sanction crea ted some difficulty. Mr. Gedney waited upon Mr. Smith on the subject, but the latter gentleman proving imprac ticable, there was no alternative but to reverse the arrange ments ; this was done, and Mr. Gedney was united to the fair object of his choice at Hoolton,° on Thursday morn ing last. Immediately the ceremony was over, the bri dal party hastened by special engine to Market Rasen, where the ceremony of marriage was repeated in the Catholic Chapel. in the presence of a large number of the congregation, who remained to witness the event. The bridal party, after reaching Lincoln, and partaking of breakfast, left for the metropolis, en route to the con tinent.—Lincoln Times. SINGULAR CHARGE AGAINST A CLERGYMAN.—On Monday, a very curious charge was held at the Mansion house, London. A clergyman who had been for thirty years in holy orders, part of the time doing duty in Wor cestershire, and partly at Eye, in Suffolk, was charged with abstracting a shilling from the plate of the church of All-Hallows, Barking. A collection was being made for the evening fund, and the plate was being held by one of the oldest parishioners. Mr. George Creaton, vestry clerk of the parish, said that he saw the defendant put his hand into the plate, as if he were about to give some thing, but be (Creaton) believed that the defendant had taken something out, and acting on this belief he instantly seized his hand, exclaiming, " You villain, you have taken something from the plate." He then removed defendant into the vestry, whence he was taken to the station-house. On being asked by the magistrate for his defence, the prisoner said it was perfectly true that a shilling was in his hand when it was grasped by the witness, but that it was his own. On approaching the door of the church, he opened his:purse to obtain a coin for the plate. The purse only contained a shilling and a sixpence, and they both came out together. He put the sixpence into the plate, retaining the shilling which was his own property. He wished for the fullest investigation. The Lord Mayor said that the matter was so extremely important, espe cially to the prisoner himself, if his statementindeed were true, that he should remand the case for afew days, 1 and meanwhile cause p strict inquiry to be instituted. HEALTH WHERE 'TIS SOUGHT! _____ HOLLOWAY'S PILLS CURE OF A DISORDERED LIVER AND STOMACH, WHEN IN A MOST HOPELESS STATE. • Extract of a Letter from Mr. Matthew Harvey, of Chapel Hall, Aird,ie, Scotland, dated the 15th of Tanuary,lBso. To Professor HOLLOWAY. SlR,—Your valuable Pills have been the means, with God's blessing, of restoring me to a state of perfect health, and at a time when I thought I was on the brink of the grave. I had consulted several eminent doctors, who, after doing what they could for me, stated that they considered my case as hopeless. I ought to say that I had been suffering from a Liver and Sto mach complaint of long standing, which during the last two years got so much worse that every one considered my condi tion as hopeless. las a last resource got a Box of your Pills, which soon gave relief, and by persevering in their use for some weeks, together with rubbing night and morning your Ointment over my chest and stomach, and right side, I have by their means alone got completely cured, and to the astonish ment of myself and every body who knows me. (Signed) MATTHEW HARVEY. CURE OF A CASE OF WEAKNESS AND DEBILITY, OF The action for infringement alluded to below is proceeding in the Court of Queen's Bench against J. G.

DURABLE OUT-DOOR PAINT, REMOVED TO 9, GREAT EVINCHENTER-STREET, OLD BROAD-STREET, NEAR THE ROYAL EXCHANGE, LONDON. CARSON'S ORIGINAL ANTI-CORROSION PAINT, specially patronised by the British, French, Rus sian, and Sicilian Governments, the Hon. East India Company, the New River Company, the principal Dock Companies, and other Public Bodies. The ANTI-CORROSION PAINT has been used by tl.e Hon. Board of Ordnance for upwards of half a century, who have proved it to prevent rust or corrosion on Iron longer and better than the very best White Lead or any other description of Paint ; and in consequence of its possessing this invaluable quality, all the Iron Guns and Gun Carriages, both for land and sea service, have been painted with it for the above period. It has also been used in great quantities by other public bo dies, and by numbers of Gentlemen of the first distinction, to preserve Wooden Houses, Farm and other Outbuildings, Con servatories, Park Paling, Gates, Iron Railing, Iron Hurdles, Copper, Zinc, Lead, old Compo, &c., Fronts and Tiles to repre sent Slating. It wil Ibe found a very superior preservative of Iron Steam Boats, Iron Bridges, Piers, or any other ext ive Iron Works. This Paint is admirably adapted for preventing the dec f old stone•or brick Mansions, Churches, or other Public Edifices requiring an effectual defence against the elements. It is par ticularly recommended to West India and other Colonial Pro prietors, Emigrants, and all persons connected with the Colo nies, who will find it to stand all climates better than any other Paint. The superiority of the Anti-Corrosion to any other Paint may be easily inferred from the simple fact that its use has been always most strenuously opposed by Color Manufac turers and others interested in the sale of Common Paint. Noblemen and Landed Proprietors, anxious to have their Outbuildings, &c. properly preserved, will effect a very consi derable saving by desiring their Stewards to order the Anti- Corrosion Paint, as any labourer can lay it on, thereby saving the enormous charges generally made by painters. The Anti-Corrosion is a powder, and it will keep any length of time. Colors : White stone, light stone, drab, or Portland stone, Bath stone, light and dark yellow stone, light and dark oak, brown, light and dark lead, light and dark chocolate, bright and dark red, copper and black, 348. per cwt.; invisible green, 505., bright green, 605., deep green, 605., and blue, (for carts and wagons,) 60s. per cwt.; in casks 281 b., 561 b., and 1121 b. each.—Large tied Brushes, 3s. 6d.; small tied ditto, 2s. 6d. ; and Sash Tools, Is. 6d. each. OIL AND TURPENTINE, AT PER GALLON. One cwt. casks, ls. 6d. ; half and quarter cwt. ditto, Is. each. Same allowed for returned empty oil packages, as charged, viz., Is. per gallon. The Expense of the Colors at 345. per cwt., when the weight of the Oil is added, is about 4d. per lb.; and those at 608., about 6d. per lb. The Original Anti-Corrosion Paint is only to be obtained of WALTER CARSON & SON, (Successors to the Inventors,) No. 9, GREAT WINCHESTER STREET, OLD BROAD-STREET. NEAR THE ROYAL EXCHANGE, LONDON, who will show between 500 and 600 most flattering Testimonials received from the Nobility, Gen try, and other Influential Persons, who have used the Anti- Corrosion for many years. No Agents.—All orders are particularly requested to be sent direct. TOOTHACHE PREVENTED. GRANDE'S ENAMEL, for FILLING DECAYING TEETH, and rendering them sound and painless, has, from its unquestionable excellence, obtained great popularity at home and abroad. Its curative agency is based upon a true theory of the causes of Toothache, and hence its great success. By most other remedies it is sought to kill the nerve, and so stop the pain. But to destroy the nerve is itself a very painful operation, and often leads to very sad consequences, for the tooth then becomes a dead substance in the living jaw, and produces the same amount of inflammation and pain as would result from any any other foreign body embedded in a living organ. BRANDE'S ENAMEL does not destroy the nerve, hut by restoring the shell of .the Tooth, completely protects the nerve from cold, heat, or chemical or other agency by which pain is caused. By Allowing the directions, instant ease is obtained, and a last,kfig cure follows. Full instructions accom pany every packe". TESTIMONIALS FROM LANCASHIRE.

I used to think that nothing could benefit me, as I had been to many medical men, some of whom after doing all that was in their power, informed me that they considered that I had some spinal complaint beyond the reach of cure, together with a very disordered state of the stomach and liver, making, my case so complicated that nothing could he done for me. One day being unusually ill and in a dejected state, I saw your Pills advertised, and resolved to give them a trial, more perhaps from curiosity than with a hope of being cured ; however, I soon found myself better by taking them, and so I went on persevering in their use for six months, when (Signed) WILLIAM SMITH, (frequently called EDWARD.)
