London : Darton and Clark.— We have in these excellent publications a valuable addition to our nursery literature. The first, second, ana third " Catechisms of Common Things" are admirably adapted to fill the mind of an observant child with a knowledge of the origin, elements, and uses of the objects which he sees around him, the explanations and descriptions being neither too detailed nor too bare. They are, in fact, justly adapted for the juvenile com prehension. We have also a Catechism of the History of England, a first Catechism of Geography, a first Catechism of Bible History, and a first, second, and third Catechism of Natural Philosophy. When the se ries is complete, it will afford a most valuable aid to the instructors of our youth. Leisure Hours : a Series of Early Poems. By C. B. Greatrex ' jun. 2nd Edit. London: Tilt and Bogue ; Liverpool : Grapel.—This small collection of oddities strung together appears actually to have reached a se_ cond edition. As we do not see the merits the public appears to appreciate by encoring the slender perform ance, we can only regret the impaired state of our visual organs. There may he beauties—we don't say there are not ; but we should like to have them pointed out. We would not withhold the meed of fair praise if we could sincerely introduce the author and the public to each other ; but really we don't see how we can. Poetry is a fickle thing. The mere gift of rhyming may be mis taken for the possession of poetical ideas ; and when au thors can persuade themselves that rhyme is poetry, they can furnish any quantity, like a tailor's suit of clothes, at a few hours' notice ; and so the frog, swollen with rhyming fecundities, seems rapidly in its own eyes to rival the giant ox in bulk—of volume at least. By the kind help of the printer, this can be done nowa days ; and the author " hugs the dear deceit." For our own part, we think that prose is a much more re spectable department of authorship in which to make our debut, at least, on the stage of literary transcription; and if young authors would be persuaded to " think soberly, as they ought to think," reserving their green ears, which may promise well at first, until their crude juices shall have been matured into the full fruitage of golden grains, ripened by the genial noon of reflection, and frosted even for a few nights by the nipping process of self-criticism,—then would their labour stand better in the shock of public review, and might be garnered into the treasury of the republic of letters, without the risk of moulding from greenness or dry-rotting. n from I SELECTIONS INSCRIPTION FOR THE STATUE TO O'CONNELL.— To one whose virtues cannot be told ; who has had a hand for all that ever came to it, and a pocket always open at the call of his friends; who has sympathised with the beggar; who was never known on any one occasion to forget himself; who has, in the heat of passion, abused men of all parties. but, on calmer reflection, made the a,nende honorable, by repudiating all ; who has shown his love and regard for the English monarchy by trying to relieve it of part of its work ; who has declared his at tachment to the Throne, and proved it, by his endeavours to erect a throne for himself; who lives in the heart of the Irish people, and out of their pockets ; to him who is indeed an emancipator and liberator, making at all times uncommonly free; in a word, to DANIEL O'CONNELL, who has identified the interests of his countrymen with his own, by endeavouring to make his own whatever be longs to them ; having lived by the contributions of others, he generously contributed the brass of which this statue is constructed.—Punch. WANT OF FAITH.—The defect of our times is a want of faith. We live in an age of reality. Every thing is to be paid for upon demand, every thing is to be accounted for and anawered by return of post. The golden cur rency of enthusiasm has been called in. There is no reverence for any features of truth behind the veil. Our temper resembles that of the Pundit who inquired of Henry Martyn whether by embracing the Christian reli gion he should behold the Deity in a visible shape. This eagerness to perceive every object without delay and im pediment is a characteristic of minds which have not been acustomed to gaze at the luminary of truth, and might be rebuked by a Hebrew legend which we have read. "You teach," said the Emperor Trajan to a famous Rab bi, " that your God is every .There, and boast that fle resides among your nation. I should like to see him." " God's presence is, indeed, every where," the Rabbi re plied ; " but he cannot be seen, for no mortal eye can look upon His splendour." The Emperor had the obstinacy of power, and persisted in his demand. " Well," an swered the Rabbi, " suppose that we begin by endeavour ing to gaze at one of his Ambassadors." Trajan assented and the Rabbi leading him in the open air, for it was the noon of the day, bade him raise his eyes to the sun then shining down upon the world in its meridian glory. The emperor made the attempt, but relinquished it. " I can not," he said, " the light dazzles me." " If. then." re joined the triumphing Rabbi, " thou art unable to endure the light of one of his creatures, hsw .canst thou expect to behold the unclouded glory of the Creator?" It is a beautiful and touching parable, and teaching humility not only in religion, but in literature and in life.—Fraser's Magazine. • REMARKABLE CONTRASTS. — That was a striking mo ment in the life of Louis Philippe, when, two months afterwards, he read in the columns of the Moniteur, at Nuilly, the fatal ordinances of July 1830 1 M. Dupin rushed to the Chkeau : all was agitation and alarm. But the duke had resolved not to alter his independent and dignified attitude. He had come to the resolution to re main in France let what would occur; and no longer to be exposed to the insults, ignominy, prosecutions, and sorrows of foreign exile. Although the Duke had been prepared for some coup d'e'lat, the ordinances of July greatly exceeded his worst apprehensions, and the resist ance of all ranks of the people by no means surprised him. Yet, again, to him his duty was clear. He remained at home, in the bosom of his family, attended no meeting, gave no advice, entered into no correspondence with the revolutionary party, and so acted during Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. On Wednesday, having been apprised that an attempt would be made to arrest him, the duke con cealed himself in the house of a friend, and but a short time had elapsed after his departure, before the soldiers of the Polignac cabinet arrived, to carry that intended arrest into effect. So wholly did the Duke isolate him self from the revolution and its agents, that even when his presence was called for by the chiefs of the success ful movement, he could not be found, and his retreat was not known to his most familiar friends. At length the cry was heard, " Long live the Duke of Orleans !" and the Scandinavian pedestrian, the Swiss professor of ma thematics, and the dollar-less wanderer in America, was proclaimed—King of the French I—Frazer's Magazine. HERESY ON THE BIBLE—TRUE RELIGION IN SAI LORS.— An esteemed correspondent thus writes :—" Du ring my passage from India to the Cape, in a ship called the Alexander, the following very interesting circumstance happened. A quarter-m , ster on leavin g the helm, entered the cabin to report. The captain was not there, but a clergyman, a passenger, was at the time intently bent on perusing Henry on the Bible.' Jack, being at his back, thought it a fine chance to peep at the studies of his rever ence, but was taken aback on observing what he consid ered to be, by the clearest possible evidence (his own eyes) Heresy on the Bible.'—Jack's whew ! pretty audibly given, startled the clergyman, who turning round had to encounter such a look from the sailor as greatly discon certed him. Jack retired hastily. The next day was Sunday. The deck was rigged for church—the bell sounded—the clergyman, captain, officers, and passengers, were all ready, but none of the crew made their appear ance. The boatswain was ordered to pipe the hands to church ; he, however, respectfully intimated that he would pipe to any other order but that ; the consternation became general, when to the clergyman's surprise, Jack appeared alone, and simply stated that the ship's company were not over particular, but they were just then debating what should be done, with the gentleman in black who was teaching them the way to— Look at his book !' cried Jack, and you will find him regularly cramming him self with Heresy on the Bible. 1 caught him in the fact yesterday. The mystery was soon explained to honest Jack, who jumped below and was heard shouting, Par son's not the —! Parson's not the !' He returned, followed by all his shipmates, who joined in the service, and never more devoutly."—Freemasons' Quarterly Re view for October. ELEPHANT HUNTING. — Capt. Tr—, now command ing at Padenny, went lately out elephant shooting, and when not more than twelve yards from a large tusked one he coolly took aim and fired at him, intending to send the ball through his head ; but, in place of doing so, he only wounded him in the neck ; which so enraged the enormous animal, that in the most furious manner possible be in stantly charged Capt. L—, who, having gone up so close, as to be almost, I may say , within the reach of his trunk, bad no hope whatever at being able to escape. While the captain was in this critical situation, a Kaydyan, who had for some time kept close on his heels, threw him self between him and the elephant, pronounced rapidly, but distinctly, a few words, and stopped, the enraged animal coming on in full career ; he then held forward his arms, and uttering some other words, in a very loud tone of voice, the elephant turned round and fled, trump eting most harshly and frightfully, breaking and crashing trees, and everything before him 1 let the reader only, imagine the few yards of ground, covered with brushwood, that seperated Capt.

EARL GREY.—The health of Earl Grey during the last few days has rallied, and somewhat relieved the anxiety of his lordship's family and numerous friends. Sir Stephen Hammick, Lord Grey's physician, has been enabled in consequence to return to London from Howick Hall. We have sincere pleasure in stating, that on the whole, the health of the venerable nobleman has assumed a much more general favourable appearance, and it is to be hoped his life may for some time be spared to his family. The trust estates in the City of London, bequeathed for public and charitable objects, produce an annual sum of £364,096 Hs. 91d. Notwithstanding these princely en dowments, the local rates for the poor, paving, lighting, watching, &c., form a heavier burden upon the in habitants than exists in any other part of the kingdom, amounting, for the year 1841, to £272.788 4s. 5d., besides duties levied by the corporation on coals, provisions, Szc., paid by the public at large, to the amount of £202,549 12s. 7d. THE ALLEGED SLAVE-TRADING CASE.—At the Crimi nal Court, on Thursday, Mr. Clarkson made an applica tion for the postponement of the trial of Mr. Zulueta and two others, on a charge of having fitted out a vessel for slave trading on the coast of Africa. The ground upon which he founded the application was the absence of ma terial witnesses for the defence, the principal of whom was Mr. Joseph Toplis, who had been Mr. Zulueta's chief clerk at the period of the alleged offence, and who, when the affidavits were first ptepared, was abroad at Gibraltar, and had only arrived in this country on Satur day evening. After considerable opposition on the part of the prosecution, the Court acceded to the application, and the matter stands over untill next session. BANK ROBBER CAUGHT.—We understand from Capt. Miller, that while on an accidental visit to Innerkip on Tuesday, be discovered and apprehended a Creole named Waddell, a notice concerning whose robbery and flight with about 17,000 dollars from the British Guiana Bank appeared in the Royal Gazelle and in the Glasgow papers a short time ago. The prisoner, it seems, was very civil with the captain, gave up the keys of the tin cases, the seizure of which was effected in a temperance hotel in this city, and reminded his captor that he had no authority to detain him. Under these circumstances, and more espe cially as the tin cases on being opened were found, instead of the missing dollars, to coritain nothing but the body clothes of Waddell, who does not appear to be in the best circumstances, Captain Miller allowed him to go.—Glea pow Guardian. GRAND RUNNING MATCH HETWEEN THE FOUIT CHAMPIONS OF ENGLAND. -This match, which has ex cited so much interest in the sporting world, came off at Reading, on Monday last, in Samp'an's cricket-ground. The champions were—Wild and Byrom, from Lanca shire ; Maxwell, from Sheffield ; and' Sheppard, from Birmingham. The distance was one mile (three times round the ground, and 19 yards added). Precisely at 3 o'clock the start for the first heat took place. which was accomplished in 4 minutes and 50 seconds—Sheppard winning by 8 yards; Byrom, 2; Maxwell, 3.; Wild, 4. The men having rested about three-quarters of an hour, the second heat took peace. Byrom took the lead once round, when he was passed by Sheppard, who kept ahead throughout, winning by about 7 yards; Byrom, 2';= Wild, 3 ; Maxwell, 4. This heat was accomplished in 4`rninutes and 53 seconds. EXECUTION AT STratnio . ..—On Wednesday morning, Allan Mair, who was convicted' at last Circuit Court at Stirling, of murdering an old woman eighty-five years of age, his reputed wife, underwent the extreme penalty of the law. The unfortunate man,• who slept but little on Tuesday night, was visited early on the following morn ing by the chaplain of the prison,•and another clergyman, with whom he spent a considerable time in devotional exercises. Shortly before eight o'clock the magistrates arrived in the hall of the prison, to which the prisoner was brought, and where he engaged for some time in) prayer. His arms having been pinioned, the procession moved slowly arong to the scaffold, where part of a psalm was sung and a prayer made on his behalf. He then shook hands with those around him, and after remaining for a few minutes in prayer on the fatardrop, he gave the signal, and was immediately launched- into eternity. Mair was about 84 years of age. EXTRAORDINARY CracumsTANcE.—The brig Lord Byron, of Limekilns, when on her voyage in the end of last month from the West Indies to Liverpool, suddenly sprung a- leak without any apparent cause. It was consi dered advisable to return to Jamaica, and,- on the cargo being taken out and the vessel examined, it was found that the damage was occasioned by a sword-fish. The sword or bill of the fish had pissed through the copper sheathing,. then through the plank in a slanting direction to the extent of five inches, and also about eight or ten inches into the dead wood of the keel, leaving an opening in the planking in each , side sufficient to admit the hand of a boy. A piece of the sword retained by the captain is six inches long and one and a half inch thick, of solid bone ; but a longer piece remains in the keel. The strength of the sword fish must be very great, and it may have been the cause of the loss of several vessels. The vessel referred to was carried into port with very great difficnity.—Edinburgh Mercury. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—On the evening of the 21st instant a small boat, in-which were John Sutherland, Samuel Willison, his son-in-law, Ann Young, and Hugh Knarston, a harvest man, left this harbour, and had pro ceeded round the east end of GI wmsay, when, finding the wind to be squally and the night dark, the boat was at tempted to be put round, in order to land at Grwriasay for the night, but, from a sudden squall striking her, she went down stern foremost. The crew got on her bottom, and were again washed off. The girl first sank, and then old John Sutherland (a native of Caithoessshire). Knarston citing to the boat, and the wind and tide drove him across Hoy Sound, within a short distance of the anchorage of Cairston Roads.- His cries were heard' by the people on board of the vessels lying in the roads, but from the darkness it could not be discovered that an acci dent had happened. The boat was driven out of Hoy Sound again, and at last came ashore at the churchyard. The poor fellow had still been able to stick to the boat, and was strong enough to get on shore and reach Strom ness about daylight next morning. None of the bodies of the other three have been found.— Wick Journal. EXPLOSION AT THE GLOBE WORKS, SHEFFIELD. — Another infernal machine has this week been manufac tured for the diabolical purpose of blowing up the Globe works with gunpowder. These works are occupied by Mr. William Ibbotson, file. manufacturer, who employs a great number of hands ; one or more of whom is sup posed to have fancied themselves aggrieved, and to have adopted the above destructive mode of showing their re venge. About half-past twelve on Saturday night, the inmates of the dwelling-house, which is underneath the same roof with the works, were aroused from their slum. bers by a most terrific explosion. Mr. Ibbotson, jun. immediateiy got up, and found in the cellar the fragments of an exploded iron tube, of. about four-inch bore, the length of which could not be ascertained. The ends had been securely stopped up with wood, and lead run in also ; and, to make the explosion more effective, the wretches had drilled - holes through the tube, and run iron pins, of about four inches in length, into. the lead, to prevent it from being blown out again by the force of the powder. The effects of the explosion were to blow the roof and flooring above the cellar, not only, completely up, but partly into the ceiling of the first floor, which was also quite loosened. About a cozen were blown completely out, and as many more shattered to atoms. Part of a brick wall which pro jected from the north side of the cellar was forced from the upright, but had not fallen. The two windows on the ground floor, which had no shutters, were quite blown out. The noise was heard for many miles round. — Buxton Herald, Oct. 6. HORRIBLE OUTILAGB.—.One of the most barbarous outrages has lately occurred in the neighbourhood of Slaidburn which the history of crime can record. Two persons, named Matthew Dilworth and George Smith, who, there is too much reason to believe, were the per petrators of the brutal act, have been arrested, and. corn witted to take their trial at the next York assizes. The victim is a young girl named Hannah Hargreaves, of Dunsop, near Slaidburn. She deposed as follows :7—l live servant with Wm. Crumbleholme, of Dunsop, yeo man. I heard a whistle on Monday night. I was in the house alone ; the door was locked, and the children were in bed asleep. On bearing the whistle I went up stairs and looked through the window, but could not see any thing ; it was dark and not moonlight. The whistle did not alarm me; I thought some one was whistling of a dog. I came down stairs and found it was half-past nine. Ex pecting my master and mistress, I went out to listen if they were coming home. When I got to the door, the prisoner Dilworth was standing on the right side. I saw another person, whom I did not know, standing at the gate four or five yards distant from the door. Dilworth immediately seized me as I stood on the flag by the shoul ders, threw me down on my back, and put his finger on my throat. I said, " Oh, dear! what art thou going to do ?" He said, "I am boun to kill thee if thou dosn't sup this stuff." He had a bottle in his hand, a darkish coloured one, and not a big one. I thought there was about half a teacupful, and was so frightened that I drank part of what was in it. The other person, whom I saw standing at the gate, came up to us, and they both got hold of my apron, pulled it over my face, and tied it round my mouth arid under my chin behind my head. After that I heard one or both go into the house.—Mr. Jack son, surgeon, deposed to having been called in to see the girl, and described her as then suffering under the effects of some narcotic poison. He immediately administered a powerful emetic, which was repeated until the stomach was completely exhausted. He thought the narcotic to be opium.—lt was deposed by two witnesses, that Dil worth and Smith were seen together on the evening on which the offence was committed ; and it was sworn by one of them that he saw the prisoners proceeding home ward together, as if from Dunsop, shortly after the hour mentioned by the prosecutrix as the time when the offence was committed.—W. Crumbleholme deposed that he and his wife were from home on the night in question. They returned home about ten minutes to eleven o'clock. They found the house door open, and the servant girl, Hannah Hargreaves, absent. There was no one in the house except the c hildren, who were in bed, Shortly after, William Haythornthwaite, the girl's uncle, came in and told him what had happened. He then searched the drawers up stairs, and found that his watch, for which he had paid five guineas, bad been taken away, together with a chain and seals. —Mary Crumbleholme, wife to the last witness, gave similar testirnony.—The prisoners, on being asked what they had to say for themselves, replied that they were innocent, and called two witnesses, who gave unsatisfactory statements of having seen both the pri soners at Crawshavr i about the time mentioned by the prosecutrix. GENERAL MISCELLANY, The conservatives have a clear gain of eleven on the re gistration for the West Riding of Yorkshire, The Queen held a Privy Council at Windsor Castle on Monday week, when parliament was ordered to be pro rogued from the 19th instant until November. The lawyers of Stockton, one and all, without exception, have agreed to close their respective offices at six o'clock, both winter and summer, for the benefit of their clerks. A NUNNERY IN SUNDERLAND.—The whole of the ar rangements are now completed by the Rev. P. Kearney, for commencing this establishment. In Birmingham £30,000 is said to be saved to the in habitants by having the gas lighting of the town in the hands of the Corporation. The committee of the London Wood Paving Associa tion has offered a gold medal, with thirty guineas, for the best Machine for cleaning the streets.—Artizan. The revision for North Cheshire has terminated. The conservatives succeeded in sustaining sixty -eight objec tions, and the radicals only eight. _ _ Mrs. Wood (ci-divant Miss Paton) with her husband, attend Chapelthorpe, near Leeds, every Sunday, and render the choir the most efficient of any in the district. COTTAGE ROBBERT.—OR Sunday, the 24th ult., the cottage of a labourer named Cudmore, at East Donyland, was broken into, and £B, the hard-earned savings of in dustry, stolen therefrom. Two men are in custody. CUSTOM-HOUSE FRAUDS.—Several new discoveries of frauds were made at the Custom-house in the course of the last week, and parties before unsuspected are, we hear, implicated in them. _ _ A circular has been sent to the creditors of Messrs. Dixon and Dalton, of the Dudley Bank, informing them that a dividend of 6s. Bd. in the pound will shortly be paid. The Great Yorkshire Stakes, to be run for at York Angust meeting, 1846, has closed with 117 subscribers; and the Competition produce, for the same year, with 27 subscribers. Mr. J. B. Smith, a leading member of the Council of the Anti-corn-lam league, offers himself a candidate for the borough of Kendal, vacant by the sudden death of Mr. Geo. Wm. Wood, M.P. Mr. Slott, of the Edinburgh Town-council, has given notice of a motion "to petition parliament to remove from the land the established church, and apply its re venue to a useful purpose," MANCHESTER ATHENEUM.—The bazaar for the pur pose of paying the debt on this institution, was held last week. Up to Friday night the sum paid into the bank on account of the bazaar, was £1,600, but the debt amounts to £3,000. REFRESENTATION OF TII CITY OF LONDON.—Mr. Thomas Baring (conservative) has acceded to the invita tion of a numerously-signed requisition, and offered him self as a candidate for the vacant seat. Mr. Pattison (radical) is the opposing candidate. ATTEMPTED MURDER.—On Friday, Mr. Waller, m'rchant, at St. Mary-at-Hill, London, was in his count ing -house, when his clerk, Thos. Rowe, about 75 years of age, drew a pistol from his pocket and shot him in the left side. The effect of the wound is at present uncertain. The vicar of Ware, which parish has been so much dis turbed by contentions respecting Church matters, has advertised for a curate on account of his health. The curate is required to be " in full orders, of sound church principles, good judgment, and calm temper." The Chartist Convention, lately held in this town, have started the notable project of raising a fund of £lOO,OOO ! They say the money is to be appropriated in the purchase of 1,000 acres of land to be divided into small allotments. —Birmingham Advertiser. On the fells between Kendall and Shap, Westmoreland, on Friday night week, the mist was so dense, that the drivers and guards of the mail and other coaches say, they never encountered such great difficulty and danger in getting along that terrible road A VERY IMPUDENT THIEF.—Last Monday evening, some persons obtained access to the bench-room at the Town Hall, Brighton ; and, whilst the officers and the police were about the hall, they broke open the poor-box, and carried off its contents, amounting, it is supposed, to about £3.—London Paper. YORKSHIRE CHESS Assoc' Anorr.—The Earl of Mex borough has consented to take the chair at the great meet ing of chess-players to be held in Huddersfield on the Bth of November next. This has given great satisfaction to all the members of the association, and a large muster is expected. THE WIFE OE THREE SUICIDES.—On Monday an inquest was held on the body of David Mason, aged 48, a coal-weigher, of 23, Lower Shadwell, who had destroyed himself, leaving his family in great distress. His wife, who was examined on the inquest, stated that this was her third husband, all of whom had committed suicide! FALL OF A HOUSE.—TWO PERSONS KILLED,-..011 Tuesday afternoon a house fell in the village of Westfield, near North Weildham. There were seven persons in the house at the time. Two of them, a bedridden old man named Prosser, and a poor woman named Wilkes, were buried in the ruins, and when their bodies were dug out life was extinct.—London paper. SECOND EDITION. Standard-office, Ten o'clock. STATIR OP DUBLIN The City of Dublin Steam Ship Co's. steamer Queen Victoria, Captain Beasley, arrived in the river this morn ing, at about a quarter past six, from Kingston. When she left, yesterday afternoon, Dublin was perfectly tranquil. A great concourse of people lined the principal thorough fares leading to the Abbey-Street Theatre and the Rotun da, and the greatest possible anxiety prevailed, all anxious to learn the next step of the Government. As had been previously notified a repeal meeting was held in the Abbey-Street Theatre, and a repeal dinner given in the Rotunda, at both of which O'Connell and his leading col leagues, including Tom Steel, were present. The meeting went off very qu'etly ; but, so great was the attendance, that none of our informants were able to get within hearing, and, as there are no papers published until after the Queen had sailed, it is impossible as yet to give the tenor of the speeches. A mail, however, leaves Dublin at half-past nine o'clock, and by her we expect further particulars, which we shall publish in a Third Edition. A rumour was current that the arrest of O'Connell would be effected to-day, and we have good authority to believe the probability of such a rumour. Several Conservatives who from curiosity had secured seats on a platform that had been erected at Clontarf, have been completely duped of the price, 2s. 6d., which the Association refuse to restore. It is said £BOO has been pocketed by this scheme. CHINA By the Overland, accounts have been received from Hong Kong and Canton as late as the 26th July. A fire had broken out at Canton, but by great exertions on the part of the Chinese Governor and the English residents and sailors, it was fortunately subdued without occasion ing much damage. The latest date from England was April 6. A copy of the treaty brought home by Colonel Malcolm is among the documents furnished, and em braces every apparent provision for a future amicable understanding. As far as we can ascertain, the mer chants are highly satisfied with the treaty. Sir H. Pot tinger had formally assumed the government of Hong Kong on the 26th June; the city on the northern side of the island being named after her Majesty, " Victoria." A Legislative Council was appointed, magistrates and other civil officers had been installed, and the whole pos session seems so show signs of rapid growth. , Mention is made of the loss of a vessel believed not before to have been noticed , viz., of the Alcmene, Capt. Galbraith, from Bombay to China, lost on Ceram Laut. The crew and a considerable part of the cargo were saved, and taken first to Banda by the Dutch war schooner Argo. The Spanish governor of the Philippine Islands arrived out on the 11th June. INDIA. The military news of the month does not possess much intcrast The Hyderabad force had returned to that station. There was a great paucity of European officers at Kur rachee and Sukker. Lieut. Horne, the Adjutant of the 55th Regiment, was drowned by the upsetting of a boat in the Khypore dis trict. _ _ All officers on staff employ, belonging to corps in Sinde, bad been ordered to join their regiments. The amount of prize-money at Hyderabad is likely to prove very considerable. The troops employed in Scinde at the end of June amounted to about 16,000 men, and a wing of the 78th and of the 2d Bombay Light Infantry had been sent to Kurracbee from Bombay. A large force was stated to be assembling for duty in the Punjaub, on account of recent disturbances there. RUMOURED ATTEMPT ON THE LIFE OF THE EMPEROR OF RUSSIA.—Both the Prussian Gazette and the Augs burg Gazette make mention of an alleged attempt on the life of the Emperor of Russia on the 19th ult. The for mer paper says that either a gun or pistol was fired at a late hour in the evening close to the Imperial Chancery's carriage when it was passing the Wallischei suburbs. The Augsburg Gazette says, " It is rumoured that twenty shots were fired at the Emperor and his suite, and that by a miracle nobody was wounded." The person who fired had not been discovered. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY EXTENstost—Another meeting is convened on the subject of the proposed ex tension of the Eastern Counties Railway through this town ; and as we hear that the report of that eminent en gineer, Mr. Locke, fully confirms the estimates and views of Mr. Clarke and Mr. Bruff, which have already been before the public, as to the main line to Norwich and the branch to Bnry, we have every reason to hope the project may be carried out. We understand also, that as a direct line to Harwkk is contemplated, the proposed branch to Shotley will not be proceeded with.—lpswich Express. DURHAM AND SUNDERLAND RAILWAY.—A meeting of this company was held on Friday week. From the fi nancial statement circulated amongst the shareholders, it appears that the revenue, from all sources, during the past year, has been £36,199 9s. 6d., and the expenditure £30,260 Bs. 7d., leaving a balance of £5,939 Os. lid., of which £3,283 has been already paid in two dividends, in December, 1842, and June, 1843, and £653 9s. Ild. ex pended in relaying a portion of the line. and other im provements, leaving £2,002 Ils. of profit undivided. The receipts for coals during the year have been £24,252 16s. Bd., from passengers and parcels £5,708, and from gene ral merchandise £1,006 13s. 9d. A dividend of £lO was declared. SHEFFIELD AND MANCHESTER RAILWAY. — The h tlf yearly general meeting of this company was held at Shef field on Wednesday week. With respect to the creation of the new stock required by the company, the chairman proceeded to inform the meeting that by their new act they were invested with power to issue new shares to the amount of £450,000, and when a sufficient amount had been paid up, to borrow a further sum, to the amount of £150,000. It was therefore proposed by the directors, that 18,000 quarter shares, of £25 each, and should be issued at par, with a guarantee of 7 per cent. per annum on the amount to be called up, for a period of ten years ; that £2 per share should be paid on the Ist of November, 1843; £2 on the Ist of February, 1844; £2 on the Ist of May, 1844 and a further £2 (making £8 in all) on the Ist of August, 1844: the remainder was to be called in as the directors should appoint ; that the shares should be offered pro rata to those original shareholders who have paid up their old shares to the amount of £B2 10s. per share ; and that the directors should be empowered to dispose of such as were not taken up, to the public. The report stated that the works upon the whole line, with the exception of about 650 yards forming the Shef field terminus, were now in active operation, having been contracted for at prices considerably below the estimates of Mr. Locke, and in consequence of the late depression in the iron trade, and the consequent low price of rails chairs, the• company had been enabled to effect a sating upon the parliamentary estimate of £50,000. The traffic receipts from the Ist of January to the 30th of Jude, amounted to £2,391 16s 4d., the el penses (including maintenance of way) to £6,459 5s 7d., leaving a balance in favor of the company of £2,932 10s. 9d.. The Pas senger traffic, from the 31st of December, 1842, to the 34th of June, 1843, was £8,530 Ils 7d. and the t o tal amount received from all kinds of traffic between; the same two periods was £8,391, 16s. 4d., leaving a balance in the banker's hands of £21,632 4s lid.

CALLING IN THE DEFICIENT GOLD COIN The following proclamation appeared in the Gazette of Tuesday : BY THE. QUEEN.-A PROCLAMATION. " VICTORIA. R " Whereas it has been represented unto us that, al though under our proclamation of the 3d day of June, 1842, a large amount of the gold coin of this realm de ficient in weight has been withdrawn from circulation, yet there is much of the gold coin of this realm deficient in weight still in circulation, contrary to the tenor of our proclamation aforesaid, and of two proclamations issued, one by his late Royal Highness George Prince Regent, in the name and on behalf of his late Majesty King George the Third, bearing date the Ist of July, 1817, and the other issued by his late Majesty King George the Fourth, bearing date the 6th of February, 1821 ; and there being reason to believe that sufficient attention is not paid to the weighing of the said gold coin, and the directions given in the Acts of Parliament now in force with respect to the cutting, breaking or defacing such pieces thereof as are found to be of less weight than those declared by the last of the aforesaid proclatnations to be current, and-to pass and be received in payment; we do by this our Royal proclamation declare and com mand, that from and after the date hereof every gold so vereign, of less weight than five pennyweights two grains and a half, and every gold half-sovereign of less weight than two pennyweights thirteen grains and one-eighth, be not allowed to be current or pass in any payment what soever. And we do hereby strictly require and command all our loving subjects, and particularly all the officers, collectors, and receivers of our revenue, strictly to con form to the orders hereby given, and to the directions and regulations enacted and established in the several Acts of Parliament now in force, and from and after the Ist day ' of January next to cut, break, and deface such pieces of the said gold coin as shall be found - deficient in weight. And we do hereby further ordain, declare, and com mand, that the said gold sovereigns and half-sovereigns of the weights last-above described shall pass and be re ceived as current and lawful money of the United King dom of Great Britain and Ireland, every such sovereign as of the value a twenty shillings' and every such half sovereign as of the value of ten shillings, in all payments whatsoever. " Given at our Court at Windsor, this second day of October, in the year of our Lord 1843, and in the seventh year of our reign. " GOD SAVE THE QUEEN." DISASTROUS SHIPWRECKS AND Loss OF LlFE.—ln formation was received at Lloyd's Coffee-house on Mon day of the loss of the undermentioned vessels at sea The schooner Princess Augusta of Lunenburg, during very rough weather, capsized, at about fifty miles west of Cape Sable. The crew, consisting of five persons, being excellent swimmers, succeeded in regaining the wreck, but, owing to the increasing fury of the waves, they were again washed overboard. One of the crew, a young man named James Sponagle, was the only person who was saved, and he succeeded in lashing himself to the wreck with a rope, and thus saved his life. Among the persons who perished was Sponagle's father. The schooner Mar garet, of Glocester, fortunately passed the wreck in time to save the young man, for he was picked up by the cap tain of that vessel in a very exhausted state, having been on the wreck five days without any sustenance. The Ca ledonian, (an American ship,) during a dreadful storm on the 18th ult., at eight o'clock in the evening, whilst on her voyage from New York for Cette, endeavoured to escape the fury of the storm by taking shelter in that port s but owing to the violence of the storm was obliged to enter by another way, namely, the small passage, where she struck and lost her rudder, by which she became un manageable, and after having drifted about for some time, at length struck on the rocks and went to pieces. For tunately the whole of the crew were saved. The Aire, of North Shields, struck on a rock near Bridsand, coast of Norway, whilst on her passage from Archangel to Lon don, on the 7th of last month. It appears that the master and crew remained with the vessel two days and two nights, when she was got off the rock with three feet of water in her hold and in a rapidly sinking state, when the Hannah More, Captain Blockbarn, from Onega to Lon don, happened to be passing, and took the crew and master on board. It is reported that the master of the Aire (Mr. Kennedy) had the vessel set on fire previous to leaving, in order to remove so dangerous an impediment as she would be if left in the place she was in, it being a fre quented road for vessels. The British schooner Rebecca, Captain Sawyer, whilst on her voyage from Honduras for New Orleans, was wrecked on Tortugas. The vessel was entirely lost, the crew and cargo were taken to Key West. The Ellen, Captain Carey, from Halifax for Buctcuche, was dragged from her anchors, off Marie Joseph, on the 30th of August last, during very rough weather, and was lost; the master and crew were fortuna,tely.saved, and taken to Halifax in the Isabel.
