LIVERPOOL. DEFICIENCY OF NERVOUS ENERGY. GALVANISM THE SUREST• CURE FOR IT. WBAT IS " DEFICIENCY OF NERVOUS EN I , ,RGY ?" It is a withdrawal of nervous fluid from any particular muscle or organ affected. For instance, sup pose the stomach is so weak that it cannot digest food, the stomach is then deficient of nervous energy, for exp ,, riinents made on animals prove that if the nerves which lead from the spine to the stomach are separated, so as to cut off the supply of nervous fluid, all digestion ceases on the instant. Again, ! suppose any muscle or limb so weak that it cannot perform its functions, that muscle or limb is deficient of nervous energy. We may pursue the same reasoning as regarils the brain, and hence the reason of lowness of spirits, want of resolution, tor por of all the intellectual Towers, loss of memory, &c. The question which now arises is this,—" Can Galvanism supply the various organs with nervous energy when they are deficient of it?" To reply to this question we must go to experimental facts—facts so well authenticated, that no physiologist of the present c - lay denies them. The following . experiment is car chi sive. and will convince the most sceptical that Galvanism can not only supply the place of the nervous fluid, but that the gal vanic fluid and the nervous fluid is one and the same thing. In Dr. Nilson Phillip's celebrated work, entitled "An Enquiry into the Laws of the Vital Functions," several. experiments, similar to the following one, were made in order to decide the long-disputed question as to whether the galvanic fluid was identical with the nervous fluid. Three dogs were procured and kept without food for a certain time, when they were al lowed to eat as much as they felt inclined to. On two of the dogs, the operation was performed of dividing the eighth pair of nerves, in order to prevent the flow of nervous influence to the stomach. Nothing was done to the third dog at this stage of the experiment. A stream of galvanic fluid was now passed through the divided nerves of one of the dogs, and, at the ex piration of four hours, the three dogs were killed. On examin ing the stomach of the non-galvanised dog, not a particle of food was digested; whilst the food of the galvanised don pre sented exactly the same appearance as that in the stomach of the dog which had not had the operation performed of siividiag the nerves Such experiments as thes, - , most come home to the conviction of the most sceptical; for nothing can be a more convincing proof that the galvanic fluid and the nervous fluid is the same thing, and that the galvanic battery, when properly applied, will cure those complaints properly styled "a defici ency of nervous energy." Invalids in the country are informed that I continue to supply my Por able Galvanic Apparatus at Ten Guineas each ; and that with my instructions, they will he enabled to apply the Galvanism just as effectually as they could receive it at my own residence. I take this opportunity to caution parties against using those small electro-magnetic apparatuses having only one or two pair of plates, for their constant eff2ct is, to irritate the whole nervous system. My apparatus, which has now become so celebrated, consists of twelve pair of zinc and silver plates, and a most complete regulating apparatus, with wire handles, &c. The whole is contained in a neat mahogany box, about two feet long, one foot high, and one foot broad; and when in action, is an ornament to any drawing-room, and is, in short, perfection itself. From the weakest to the stronk es. power there are fifteen gradations, the use of which is de scribed in my sixth and seventh letters on Medical Galvanism (see my pamphlet) to which I hegto refer the reader's at tultion. The extraordinary cures I have made by means of Galvanism have so astonished the whole medical world, that I am now patronised by the highest of the Medical Profession. The most timid nee , not be afraid of using my apparatus, as the power of it is entirely under command, and the power of it can he regulated so accurately, that an infant rosy be Ivanised by it without canting it to cry. The price is Ten Guineas. The cash to accompany the order. WILLIAM HOOPER. HAI.SF,.

THE FIVE THOUSAND POUND MAN.—The next eats of emigrants are those who can co:nmand £5,000. This, in my opinion, is the smallest sum with which a man should attempt sheep-farming. To such, as well as those of less means, I repeat, before you lay out one penny, spend twelve mo n ths at least in gaining colonial experi. ence ire the bush. I have no hesitation in asserting that a man with £5,000 judiciously laid out in sheep, living at and himself superintending his station, enjoying all reasonable comforts, may bring up and provide tor a large family much better than a man can w;th £20,000 in land in England, hut not if he spends any more than the time necessary for business in the towns of the colony. I lay stress upon this, because gentlemen come out with their families, lay out a capital in sheep, which they entrust to strangers, live in Sydney as expensively as they did at home, and are surprised to find themselves ruined.—Life in Australia. SINGULAR ETIQUETTE AT BONI, IN CELEBES.—The etiquette of this court proves how despotic it has becon e: when the patarnankowe sits, all sit ; when he rises, all rise: so far things are within reasonable bounds; but should he ride and fall from his horse, all about him must fall from their horses likewise. If he bathe, all must too, and those passing go into the water in the dress, good or had, they may chance to have on. I for got in its proper place to mention another custom of the court: no one appears with an handkerchief about the head, in the presence of the patatnankoee. The lower classes wear the skull-cap on the back of the cranium. The sovereign and his brother wear it cocked to the left side; other nobles to the right, and cocked according to the rank. White skull-caps distinguish the young ralahs, who compose the body-guard, if it may be so called, that is, spear-bearers, sword-bearers, ciribex-bearers, spitoon bearers, shield-bearers, &c. to the amount of two hundred or three hundred.—Journal of Mr. Brooke (the Rojah of Sarawak). KEAT'S OPINION OF WOMEN.—I am certain 1 have not a right feeling towards women. At this moment I am striving to be just to them, but I cannot. Is it be cause they fall so far beneath rey boyish imagination ? When I was a schoolboy, I thought a fair woman a pure goddess: mind was a soft nest in which some one of them slept, though she knew it not. I have no right to expect more than their reality. I thought them ethereal —above men. I find them perhaps equal—great by com parison is very small. Insult may be inflicted in more ways than by word or action. One who is tender of being insulted does not like to think an insult against another. I do not like to think insults in a lady's company. I commit a crime with her which absence would not have known. Is it not extraordinary ?—when among men, I have no evil thoughts, no malice, no spleer ; I feel free to speak or to be silent ; I can listen, and from every one I can learn ; my hands are in my pockets, I am free from all suspicion, and comfortable. When I am among women, I have evil thougete malice, spleen,; I cat nit speak, or be silent; I am full of suspicions, and therefore listen to nothing ; lamin a hurry to be gone. Yen must be cha ritable, and put all this perversity to n.y being disap pointed since my boyhood.—Literary Remains of John Keats. A WEAVER'S FAMILY FARE.—The mode of living at my uncle's was of the simplest country style. At break fast, a brown earthen dish being placed on a low beaufet near the middle of the floor, a boiling of water pori Wise was poured into the dish, hot from the pan. A mess-pot of the same material as the dish was placed for each 01 e about to partake of the breakfast, a quantity of milk and a spoon were placed in each pot, my uncle took a seat and asked a blessing, each of the children of the family stand ing around ; we then took our several messes of milk, and helped ourselves to the steaming porridge as quickly as we chose, and mixing . and eating in the manner we liked best, not a word being spoken all the time. The porridge being scraped up, which they in general were rather quickly, each would take a piece of bard oaten cake and eat. it to the remainder of his milk, after which a little butter or a small piece of cheese, with more oaten bread would finish the meal, and in a.few minutes work was resumed. My aunt would shortly after make her ap pearance, her face red, and herself distressed with cough ing; the kettle would then be set on for her, and when th asthmatic paroxysm had sufficiently abated, she took her breakfast. and sat down to her wheel. Our dinners consisted generally of butchers' meat and potatoes, or potatoe pie, or meat and broth, or harm dumplings, or drink porridge, or hasty pudding and in each case the food was partaken in the same primitive manner. When we bad meat and potatoes each had an allowance of the meat on a piece of oat cake, and the potatoes being poured into a dish placed on the heaufet as before, we all stood round and with spoon or knife as we chose, eat from the dish so long as the potatoes lasted, after which we stole out to play, eating our remnant of butchers' meat and cake the while. There was not a word heard till we got out of doors, and then we were, as noisy as others. When we had potatoe pie for dinner, an allowance of the crust was given to each ; the potatoes were then eaten out of the dish as before, and the crust, as being the most d a i n ty, was eaten afterwards. When we had broth, each received a mess for himself, to which he added as much oaten cake as he chose; the potatoes were eaten out of the dish, and the meat being served in portions, each eat it with cake at his leisure. When we had dumplings, they were set on the heaufet in the same brown dish, or one of the sort; a little dip was made from the water the dumplings had been boiled in ; a lump of butter and a little sugar or treacle being added • the dip was then poured upon the dumplings, and we fell to, and eat as we liked, the only restriction being that there was not to be any talking at meat. How different was this sententious and becoming manner at table, from the one which now prevails around fashionable boards, where, if a person cannot, or will not, both gabble and gobble at the same time, he is looked upon as vulear, and where the highest test of good breeding is to keep both chin and tongue — the latter especially—in motion, it matters not on what not a thought. S uc h i s one o f tTebjtpeteie' if it only rilities by which elicit inure pride seeks to he distin guished from the thoughtful and earnest portion of society. Our bagging o r afternoon lunch, co n s i s t e d o f h a lf on oaten cake, with butter, treacle, cheese or milk, as cir cumstances rendered most convenient •, and our supper was generally the same as breakfast. On Sunday morn ings we bad mint cc balm tea, sweetened with treacle, and oaten cake and butter ; on Sunday afternoons we had tea of the same kind, atel a slice of . butterea loaf was ad ded, which was an eepeciel dainty.—Samuel Ban ford's .4arly Days, No. 2. DEATH OF LORD GEORGE BENTINCK. On Friday, a great sensation was produced throughout the country by the intelligence of the alarmingly sudden decease of Lord 'George Bentinck. It appears that on Thiirsday afternoon, having an appointment to dine at Thoresby Park, the seat of Earl Manvers, and being a . good pedestrian, his lordship set out on foot, from Welbeek Abbey, the seat of his father the Duke of Portland, in tending to walk across the fields to Thoresby Park. a die tance of five or six miles. A man servant was at the time, dispatched with a horse and gig to take thithe r a c h a n g e of dress, &c., for his lordship. Lord George did not arrive at "Thoresby Park at the appointed time, whereupon inquiries were made of the servant as to the cause of the delay. He said in reply, that before he left Welbeck he saw his lordship crossing the park, and afterwards, as he was driving along the road, he observed him walking on in a field situate about three miles on the road. Time rolled on, and as his lordship did not arrive, the servant drove back to Welheck to ascertain whether he had re turned thither; hut finding that such was not the case he again drove back to Thoresby Park, thinking that Lord George might by that time have arrived. Nothing, however, had been seen of him, and consequently several servants were dispatched in various directions for his lordship. His lordship's own servant proceeded along the footpath to Welheck, and after walking some distance he saw, an approaching a gate, a human body . stretched on the ground. On going close up to the object he dis covered that. it was the body of his master, Lord George Bentinck. Life was quite extinct. Soon afterwards the body was removed to Welbeck in a drag. It may be.observed that the deceased was a tall man, of commanding appearance, and by no means exhibited any appearance of an apoplectic character. His death was occasioned by disease of the heart. William George Frederick Cavendish Bentinck was born in February, 1802, being the second son of the present Duke of Portland, who is now in his 81st year, by Henri etta, daughter and co-heiress of Major-General Scott, and the sister of the Viscountess Canning. He was brother to the Marquis of Titchfield, heir to the dukedom of Port land, to Lord Henry Bentim k, M.P. for North Notts, to Lady Howard de Walden, and to Lady Charlotte Denison, the wife of Mr. Ev e lyn D en is on , th e w hi g M.P.' f or Mal r don. He had one unmarried sister, Lady Mary. Lord George completed his education at Christ Church, Oxford, and served in his earlier years in the brigade of Guards, having retired from the army with the rank of major. Although it is now close upon twenty-five years since the deceased first entered the political' world, the latter years of his life appear only to have exhibited important move ments on his part. The first, and indeed the only bona fide, political appointment he ever held was that of pri vate secretary to his uncle, the Right Hon. George Canning, when that statesman was prime minister. Can ning's opinion of Lord George was very high. In 1828 he was first returned to parliament for the borough of Lynn Regis, in Norfolk, for which he has since sat with out interruption. His lordship voted for the principle of the Reform Bill, but opposed ministers on the principal details in committee. Lord George remained almost a silent member until Sir R. Peel gave up protection in 1846. He then took Mr. Miles's place as leader of the agricultural party. and continued to make some severe at tacks on the late ministry up to the period of their expul sion from office on the Irish Assassination, Bill. which he opposed. His disputes with Lord Lyndhurst and the Earl of Ripon are, no doubt,.st ill fresh in the recollection of the reader, as are the other questions in which he was an important mover during the past session. His lord ship differed with the majority of his party on the question of civil and religious liberty. He supported the Jewish Relief Bill and Mr. Watson's Roman Catholic Relief Bill. His vote on the first-mentioned question was followed by his withdrawal from the protectionist leadership. He an nounced his intention some time since of supporting the Payment of the Roman catholic clergy by the landowners in Ireland. With the particulars of his turf career the public have on many occaeions been made fully acquainted. He took a great interest in field sports generally, and some excellent regulations were established at the princi pal race meetings in the kingdom under his superinten dence. erntrat 4iltsteliany. Several incendiary fires have taken place lately at Nottingham. Several manuscript lectures have been presented by Brougham, to the Northern Union Mechanics' In stitutions of NorthumbPrland, Durham, and Cumberland. At the Norwich Musical Festival, £lOOO was the sur plus devoted to the charities on behalf of which it was held. On Wednesday preparations commenced within the Tower of London for the erection of a granite statue of the Duke of Wellington. Orders have been given to suspend the enlistment of seamen for the royal navy, as no more are required at present. _ _ _ On Tl_ursday the Ocean arrived in the Thames, from Ilamburgh, with 8,000 baskets of black grapes, the pro duce of the vineyards in the vicinity of that town. There were no fewer than 110 candidates for the ap pointment of clerk to the Wellington Board of Guardians. The salary is £lOO a year. More than one person in Guildford has lost some valuable pigs from giving them diseased potatoes. On their being opened, the intestines were found to be mortified. On Sunday, a child fell from the gallery of Holy Trinity Church, Paddington, on the head of a lady who sat in the body of the church ; but luckily neither the child nor the lany sustained any serious injury. NOVELTY IN FIRE Anms.—A pistol has recently been registered under the act for the protection of articles of utility, which is so ingeniously contrived that it primes and loads itself by the most simple and unerring operation. It is calculated that the London pleasure-goers spend on Sundays through the year in the adjacent villages the enormous mil of one million three hundred thousand pounds. A few weeks ago, the Rev. Harry Baber, curate of St. Mark's, Chelsea, published his own banns of marriage in that church ; and what adds to the singularity of the circumstance is, that his bride-elect was one of the con gre; ition then as3em'Aed. A young woman, named Shields, is in custody in Lon don, charged with killing her mother, an old woman of sixty. The mother and daughter were drunk and fighting together, when the former fell backwards and fractured her skull. Mr. Pierrepoint, of Worcester, has obtained leave to put up, on trial, at convenient places in the city, twelve patent lamps, which he promised should give a better light at sixty yards distance than the common one does at ten yards. The new docks at Leith are progressing rapidly, and be fore winter sets in, Mr. Barry, the contractor, expects to have the whole space inclosed with the outer wall, so that operations may be carried on inside during the winter. Cruikshank's splendid plates on the Bottle and Drun kard's Children will soon he familiar as " household words." The Sunderland Pottery Co. has purchased the right, and has brought out copies of these plates in splen did style upon articles of earthenware. On Wednesday se'nnight, as the Rev. G. F. J. Marsham rector of Maidstone, and the Rev. J. J. Marsham, were out shooting tegether, the former fired at a partridge, which he killed. Unfortunately several of the shots also hit his brother, and one of them entering the ball of his eye, deprived him immediately of sight. Clock and watchmaking, ore of the principal branches of industry in the canton of Neufchatel, in Switzerland, is entirely paralysed. Upwards of 1,500 journeymen watch and clock-makers have just emigrated from Neuf ch Ltel to the United States, and a still greater number are making preparations to follow them. From a tree in the garden of Mr John Lupton, Bram ley, were gathered, on the 9th September, the amazing number of 3311 apples. Upwards of 100 which were not fit to pluek riaoain on the tree. Added to these there have been, as near as can be ascertained, some 400 gathered and blown off previously. SHOCKING ACCIDENT.-0o Wednesday a boy living at Coombe storey, Salop, was sent home with a gun, which on the road he used to pull down a cluster of nuts. The gun being.loaded (unknown to hint) w.nit off, and dischar ged its contents into his body. He left the gun banging to the branches, and went as far as Coombe Tower, where he expired. A London paper states that early next year a variety of new regulations will be adopted in reference to the bar rack accommodation afforded to the troops in Ireland, and also in parts of England. It appears that Lord Har dinge, during his stay in Ireland, gave it as his opinion that sufficient accommodation was not afforded to the troops, nor eufficieet attention paid to their comforts. On Friday, its W. Adams, Esq., of Mitchel Troy, was in the pursuit of game, he shot a very fine hare. The animal was picked up by Mr. Henry Stephens, who, on perceiving her to be with young, immediately cut her open, and took therefrom five remarkably strong and healthy-looking young ones, (thus showing' that three, as generally supposed, is not the greatest 'number produced at a birth.) The new park at Battersea, which has been for some time in abeyance, will be commenced without delay. The park will extend the whole distance between Battersea bridge and Nine-elms, and from the bank of the river to the public road across Battersea.fields, making the length of the Park about two miles and a quarter, end its width a little more than a mile. A carriage -drive forty feet in breadth will he formed alone the bark of the Th ames . POPERY AGAIN.—A member of Parliament wr iti ng t o the Morning Herald, says, " I have just had p u t i n t o my bands, a letter addressed by one governess to another, who was advertising for a situation, in which the writer coolly proposes to her friend—both being Roman Catho lics—to go into a Protestant family named by her, in the character of a Protestant ; for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the three children, whose mother was dead, to popery !" The money order department of the Past-office hither to, so far from yielding any revenue, bas not even de frayed its non expenses. Under these circumstances one of two courses appears absolutely necessary, viz., either to reduce the expenses or to increase the poundage charged to the. public. The latter alternative is obviously a very undesirable one; a nd it may be hoped, therefore, it will be found possible to introduce such economy into the department as shall obviate the necessity of adopting it. AN Exortatous BLAST.—At the quarry belonging to T. Gill, Esq., at Millbav, Devonshire ' there have of late been several blasts of large masses of limestone rock, for the worl:a of 111.,.! (3,-ti.t Western Docks. One of those took place on Saturday, in the presence of a large con course of spectators. The hole for blasting was bored with a four-inch bit, and it occupied - the men four deya and four niehts to make the rock fit to receive the gun powder. The quantity of powder used was 1351 b., and the weight of rock separated was about 3000 tons. The largest stone was /A feel loug, 11 feet wide, .and 9 thick. ROYAL RIVALS.—THE QUEEN AND PRINCE ALBERT. —During the sale at Stowe, a beautiful statue of " Venus rising from the sea," which stood in an alcove built on purpose for its reception, was hotly bid for by two rival agents, until it was knocked down at a considerable higher price than its value. The report is that the agents repre sented the Queen and Prince Albert, who each wanted it to present to the other. Prince Albert was the pur chaser.-- The Builder•. A public meeting of the inhabitants of Southampton was held at the Town-hall on Thursday afternoon, for the purpose of affording an opportunity of laying before the public the views and plans of the London Society for the Promotion of Colonisation. The Hon. Francis Scott, M.P., Mark Boyd, EQq.,. Arthur Mills, Esq., E. Lennox Boyd, Esq., and C. D. Logan, Esq., attended as a depu tation from the London committee. The meeting was numerously attended. Mr. Bailey. poulterer, in Mount-street, details the large sums paid annually by London salesmen for poultry. He states that one salesman alone sold every year £lOO,OOO worth !—that be had himself paid £Bl,OOO in the course of the last year, and that £15.000 was received annually at Ayl,shury for young ducklings; but to this last item he adds the humiliating fact, "that, in Bucks, the wives ore in the habit of driving the children from the hearth that the ducklings might get the benefit of the fire." A ROBBER ShOT.-Mr. Holier', a farmer, of Darton, near Barnsley, was roused at midnight by a noise on his premises, and, on looking from the window, he saw two me-neon a roof, taking off the slates. while a Third stood below. The farmer fired at the depredators, and one of them was wounded •, his companions, however, carried him off. One the following morning the wounded man, one Gledhill, was found in a stable : a bullet had entered between his thigh and his body, and his case wis consi dered to be hopeless. MUSICAL ENTHUSIA sm.—As an instance of the enthu siasm which Jenny Lind has created amongst those who heard her at York, we may state, that Mr. Bell, silver smith, of that town, has supplied a most beautiful and unigne g old tea pot, which has been forwarded express t o the Swedish Nightingale, at Newcastle, by one of her en raptured admirers. Other parties have also sent similar but less costly tokens of their admiration, such as gold and diamond bracelets, brooches, gold thimbles, &c. &e. ; indeed, no lady ever created such a fever of delight as Jenny Lind appears to have excited by her recent visit to York. DESTITUTE IRISH IN KENT.—Kent has been deluged by Irish, who have poured into the country, at the hop picking season, in numbers far beyond those required for the work. Swarms of starving creatures have besieged the workhouses at Coxheath Union. On Saturday night week from 500 to 800 collected, and threatened a distur bance. A messenger was sent to Maidstone to desire that troops, might be in readiness. Attacks have been made o❑ individuals and property plundered. Special constables were sworn in at Maidstone on Monday, to act in the surrounding parishes. The Rev. W. Sinclair, incumbent of St. George's Church, Leeds, had a narrow escape from drowning, at Redcar, a few days ago. The rev, gentleman had waded and swain too far from his bathing machine, and in trying to return, was overpowered by the strong rtflax of the tide. A coble was brought with all speed across the sands from high water mark, and rapidly rowed to his assistance; but by the time the boat could reach him, a gallant gentleman. Mr. Ray, of Stokesley, solicitor, having thrown off only his coat and waistcoat, had already suc ceeded in swimming to Mr. Sinclair's side, and, in the absence of other assistance, would doubtless have had all the honour of a rescue. Mr. Sinclair was quickly brought to shore, and soon recovered. DEATH FROM GRTEF. — Mr. Mills, one of the metro politan coroners, held an inquest on Wednesday week, upon Emma Styles, a bonnet-maker, aged 21. Deceased was much attached to a man to whom she was to have been married, and who was arrested last week but one for some crime, but was subsequently discharged, there having been no evidence adduced again t him. His arrest had such an effect upon the deceased that she became ill, and continued so for some days, until she was found dead in her lodgings. Mr. Poppin, surgeon, opened the bode, and found that death resulted from disease of the heart. He had no doubt that the shock she sustained from the imprisonment of her intended husband accelerated her death. A SANITARY EXPERIMENT.—OR Thursday, a shaft, six eet by three, was sunk from the centre of the Black friars-road. at the point of junction of the main sewer, from the Kent-road, Friar-street, and Webber-street; at the mouth of this opening into the sewers an iron grating was bricked in ; above it, and about three feet below the surface, a furnace, composed of sheet iron, was erected. A. space about twenty feet square was enclosed around the shaft, for the deposit of coal, &c., and on Monday the furnace will be ignited to test the practicability of thus destroying the foul air generated in the sewers, which in this locality penetrates the dwellings of the in habitants, rendering them unfit to dwell in. Should the experiment he attended with success, similar shafts are to be sunk at stated distances, with architectural colivnns or obelisks to carry off the smoke.—Morning Chronicle. FUNERAL OF THE REV. ARTHUR TROLLOPE. On Monday afternoon a considerable portion of Cheapside, and the streets leading into 'it, presented a somewhat un usual appearance. With scarcely an exception the shops were partially • closed, during the funeral of the Rev. Arthur Trollope, the late respected and much lamented curate of St.. Mary-le-Bow, and the united parishes. Thi gentleman, the son of Dr. Trollope, formerly Headmast. r of Christ's Hospital, had been for 21 years curate ; had never flinched from his duty, was always ready to help others in the discharge of their parochial duties, hut would never accept aid himself, except in extreme cases. He was an upright, conscientious, and hard working man, al d not only one of the most exemplary clergymen, hut also one of the most learned theologians in the metropolis. He never sough' preferment. He was mod?st, manly, and independent. the proceeds of his curacy and lectureship, all he ever had in the church, amounted to £l4O a year. Neither the late Archbishop, to whose peculiar jurisdic tion Bow Church belonged, nor the B'sbop of London, in whose diocese and jurisdiction are the united parishes. ever offered Mr. Trollope any preferment, or, we believe, took the slightest nctice of him.—Times. GENEROSITY OF JENNY LlND.—There is at Hull a German Lutheran congregation who are endeavouring to provide funds for erecting a place of worship. The Queen Dowager has given £2O, and the chairman of the com mittee, Mr. Helmsing, merchant, addressed a letter to Mdle. Lind, who is a Lutheran, soliciting a contribution. This was directed to her in London, but it appears that on its arrival there she had left, and it was forwarded to her in Manchester. No answer being received, it was thought 5y the committee that the matter had ended. Last Thursday morning, however, at his office in High street, Mr. Helmsing heard a rap at the door, and in re ply to the loud " Come in," there stepped in a very modest looking young lady, who asked for Mr. Helmsing. "My name is Helmsing," was the reply, "and mine is Jenny Lind," was the response. I have come to apolo gise for not answering your letter, which followed me down to Manchester, where I had not time to attend to it, but I shall be most happy to promote your object, and if to-morrow morning you will send to my hotel a list of the subscriptions, I wilt tell you what I will do." On the following morning, Mr. Helmsing waited upon Mille. Lind, who at once presented to him £2O, stating that that was as much as the nature of her contract would at r. , F.ent. permit ler to do, but, she added, if she should again have the pleasure of visiting Hull, which she honed she ni:ght he able to do, before her t'eparture for th con tinent, it would afford her much pleasure to do something more, and, in a most delicate manner, hinted that any future expression of her good will towards the object would in all probability be made through the medium of a concert. SHOCKING ACCTDENT.—On Thursday week at Castle Bents, near Bradtield, John Hawksworth and his wife, farm servants, were busy in the field, end had left their children. two boys, aged 12 and 11, and two girls, aged 9 and 2 years. at home. The children left the house and went into the barn, where there was a quantity of corn in the straw, to play. They got up a ladder, and mounted upon a beam that ran across the building. While there, the elder boy very foolishly lighted a lucifer match, which he let fall among the corn. As soon as it began to burn, the boys, instead of helping their shters down from the• beam, ran away to the field to fetch their parents. The elder girl called to the boys to assist her little sister and herself down the ladder, but they disregarded her cries, and as she could not descend the ladder with the child, she remained with it. The fire was seen by some neigh bours, who ran to the spot, but though they heard the children cry, the smoke was so dense that a considerable time elaesed before they could find them. Two mer, at the hazard of their lives, groped about, and one of them felt a leg of one of the ildren hanging from the beam. He pulled, and they fell together. They were got out alive, hut in a state most dreadfully burned. As the barn adjoined the house, which it was feared would take fire, the furniture had been turned out, and it was neces sary to send the children to the poorhouse. The elder girl was still sensible, and stated, that when they found themselves deserted by the boys, she chispel her little sis ter in her arms, and in that state they remained until they were found. They both died on the Thursday night fol lowing. The fire in the barn was extinguished with great exertions, and the farm buildings were consequently saved. BRUTAL TREATMENT OF CHTLDREN.—At the Clerk enwell police office, on Tuesday last, a man named Wor rell, and a woman, C. W. Chandler, were charged with cruelty to four little children belonging to the former prisoner. The poor sufferers were covered with marks of violence all over, some of which had festered. Their heads also were covered with sores. A eonstable s-id that on the previous day, while he was passing City Row, St. Luke's, he saw a large crowd, and on going up was in formed that a woman in a house was strangling some children. He knocked, but could not obtain admittance. A ladder was procured, and he got un to the first floor window, when the male prisoner, who had a piece of wood in his hand, threatened to kill any one who entered, and afterwards threatened to blow out his (aim brains with a pistol. Another constable came up, and they en tered, and found the four children in the room in a dread ful state, one of them appearing to he dead. They were taken to the workhouse ; and the prisoners sent to bride well. One of them„Henrietta, nine years old, had two black eyes, which she said were caused by her father beat ing her, for stealing halfpence. They all complained of being sometimes very hungry. There was a good bed in the room in which the prisoners slept, but the children had to lie on the floor without any covering, and when taken to the workhouse they were covered with sores and bruises, and much exhausted, from filtit anti want of food. The male prisoner, it appeared, was supported by the fe male, who led an abandoned life. The former attempted a defence for his beating the children, but it only aggra vated the matter. The magistrates remanded the pri soners for a week, and had the children sent back to the workhouse. Tee feeling of the people in the court was so strong against the prisoners that they were obliged to take refuge in the waiting room, afraid of their lives. It wns stated the prisoner Worrell was formerly a clerk in Liverpool. Sept. 26, 18-18. COACH ACCIDENT AT BAWTRY.—On Friday , the rer wo r ham, on its route for Lincoln, left the Angel Inn , Da ibo at a quarter past six in the afternoon, with not more tbt sixteen passengers. In making the second turn 0 0 , 0 „, r Gainsberough road, one of the horses stumbled. P-6, unfortunate circumstance caused the coach to Wite and, bringing it in contact with the kerb.stod! vehicle was upset. Unhappily four females were but not seriou.ly.
