Two water hills for the metropolis were rejected en their second readings by large majorities, being opposed by Sir G. Grey, on the part of Government, dby Lord Ashley on the part of the Board cf Health. The bill of the London and Watford Spring Water Company was rejected by a ma jority of 196 to 90; and the:Nletropolitan Waterworks Henley hames and London Aqueduct Bill, by 226 to 116. • • . The rest of the evening was occupied with a debate, on a motion of Mr. GRANTLiN BERKELEY for a committee of the svhole house to consider the acts relating to the importation of foreign corn. At last, he said, the Minister, now that wheat was .eltla load, admitted there was agricultural distress; but when asked for bread, he gave bricks. Reduction of rents, it made, would not meet the present distress, when in some counties labourers were being employed at 6s. a-week, :and, er hari , est matters would be wor Mr. A.

Many a merry peal of bells was rung on the occa sion at Morpeth and the venerable duke's health drunk with nine times nine hearty cheers. Mr: Ironmonger, the chief porter at thP Redbridge station, on the London and Dorchester Railway, was killed on Tuesday night. He was getting some wagons into a siding, when he tripped on a heap of gravel, fell across the rail, and the wheels of several waggons went over his body, literally cutting him in two. - WINES OF MADEIRA.—There are no finer white wines in the world than those which are produced from the grape, on the south side of the Island of Madeira; if, indeed, there are any that equal them ;- possessing; as they do, bouquet, body, softness, and pure vinous qualities, essential characteristics of a good and generous wine.—Madeira, by Dr. Mason and J. Driver. ATROCIOUS ATTEMPT.—A few evenings ago, some villains had laid a large sleeper across the rails of the down line from Chesterfield, near the bridge, which crosses the bye lane from to save the train LI Tassfflgers, it rie engine-d brtunate y being !river saw it only just in time At the annual meeting of the Religious Tract Society, the Hon. Arthur Kinnaird stated that there were in this country ten stamped newspapers advocating infidelity, with a present circulation of 11,700,000 a-year ; six unstamped with a circula tion of 6,240.000 ; and miscellaneous publications, having a cir culation of 10,400,000; and there were, besides, publications of the very worst character, having a circulation of 520,000. On Thursday week, Rebecca and her children paid a visit to the rock of the old castle of Dyserth. A wall of very remark able construction was built around the common land where this once celebrated castle stood : the measurement of it was about 1450 yards in length, and itwas about six feet 4 high, and it had given work to scores of hands for many months. It was completely destroyed in a night. So - me biicklayeis, repairini a house at Kingston-on-Thames, the - other day, fell into a romance. A window opened above their beads, a female head was protruded, and a story was told to the effect that the lady had been shut up there in solitary confinement by her friends, and ill:treated as a lunatic for years. She was rescued, the magistrates were consulted, and an en quiry is_g9ing on. Her Majesty gains strength rapidly, and the infant Prince continues in good health. Prince A‘bert and the royal children are also well. tier Majesty, it is expected, will proceed to Osborne to-morrow, remaining until the 18th of June. The Prince will be christened on the 22d of the same month, and drawing-rooms, balls, and concerts, will take place in quick succession. No DOUBT.—A young lady thus writes anonymously in the columns of the Family Herald :—" For my own part I confess that the desire of my heart and my constant prayer is that I may be blessed with a good and affectionate husband, and that I may be enabled to be a good affectionate wife and mother. Should I be denied this, I hope for grace to resign myself—b u t I fear it will be a ha r d trial to me." THE AGE. BEFORE NEWSPAPERS.—I am so put to it for something to say, that I would make a memorandum of the most improbable lie that could be invented by a Viscountess Dowager •, as the old Duchess of Rutland does when she is told of some strange casualty, "Lucy, child, step into the next room and set that down." "Lord, Madam !" says Lady Lucy, "it can't be true !" " Oh, no matter, child ;it will do for news into the country next post."—Horace Walpole. THE SAVINGS BANKS BILL,—The Chancellor of the Exche quer is meeting with considerable opposition in regard to this measure. The leading features of the plan are the appointment of the treasurers by government, anch.the reduction of the rate of interest to be paid depositors to IOS. per cent_ per annum. It is said that the treasurer's salary will be .1,000, and that of his clerk .'2so—more good patronage for government; and that 580 treasurers will be required. A meeting of provincial mayors and chief officers of cities and boroughs is to take place on the 21st instant, at the Rail way Hotel, in Derby, to make arrangements for inviting the Lord Mayor of London to an entertainment in the metropolis, or elsewhere, in return for the munificent hospitality with which his lordship entertained the mayors of the provinces a short time since at the Mansion-house, when the Prince Consort was present. _ _ Tlie Sussex magistrates have been investigating -a strange case of imposture. A young girl, named Betsey Ginn, has been raising money from the charitable for years, by the protesta tion that she was suffering from a horrible cutaneous disease, of which her face, neck, arms, and feet bore evidence; and, at last, it turns out that all the ulcers and discolouration were the effect of her own application to her body of hydrochloric acid (spirit of salt.) The ceremony of laying the foundation stone of the monu ment of the late Sir John Barrow, Bart., took place on the Hill of Hoad, near Ulverston, on Wednesday last. The monu ment is to be in the shape, and to answer the purpose, 'if needed, of a lighthouse, for Morecambe Bay; until then it will be used as an observatory. It is to be 45 feet in diameter at the base, and 100 feet high. The funds have been raised by public subscription, upwards of .tl,OOO being already contri buted. SECESSIONS.—Edward Purbrick, Esq., undergraduate mem ber of Christchurch, Oxford, has seceded to the Church of Rome; and Mrs. Dayman, with two of her daughters, the widow and children of the Rev. Charles Dayman, vicar of Great Tew, in Oxfordshire, and a select preacher at Oxford, have also joined the Romish communion. Mrs. Dayman's son, a graduate of Exeter College, Oxford, and a clergyman in the diocese of Worcester, was recently announced as having pre ceded his relatives in the course of apostacy. MODERN ARCHITECTURE.—FALL OF A CHURCH.—The district Church of Arniotts, in the parish of Althorpe, Lincoln shire, has fallen to the ground, and is utterly destroyed. It is a most fortunate circumstance that the catastrophe did not occur during divine service. or the result would have been most alarming. The rector (the Rev. J. Aspinall) is using his utmost endeavours to raise £BOO to rebuild the church, and afford the inhabitants the means of attending divine worship.

The expenses Rev. Dr. Townsend a,canon of Durham, with the vOge. rm - int/A to •PORn At Ti,livnrnnni in 741 n nn I mentioned in a previous letter that the rev. doctor's object was to endeavour to induce his holiness to do away with the bickerings, animosities, and polemical dis cords which keep the various denominations of Christians separate and at enmity ; and, by calling a general coun cil, to establish the basis of an universal creed.- It was certainly a bold attempt for a Protestant clergyman to convert the pope himself ; .but the doctor was determined to beard the lion in his den, and on Friday last he went to the encounter in full dress canonicals. After having knelt to kiss the pope's hand, Dr, Townsend was invited by his holiness to take a chair, and an animated conversa tion commenced in Latin, a fit language for_ controversy, and one in which the disputants might be presumed to be a match for each.other. The pope was upon the whole very tolerant, as may be imagined 'from his having not only listened with calmness to Dr. Townsend's arguments in favour of releasing the catholic clergy from their vow of celibacy, but also assured him that he entertained serious ideas of adopting such a plan in the early part of his reign especially after having received pressing letters upon the subject from Germany, but that, in the present state of, Italy, and indeed of the whole continent, any innovation on his part would be dangerous, even if he had the power to act freely, which he had not, being by no means the free agent that he was on his first accession to the throne. The same objection would prevent him from calling a general council, or attempting to unite the great and di vided family of Christians, although he fully admitted the grandeur of the scheme, protested his own desire for peace and harmony, and wept at Dr. Townsend's enthusiastic picture of England recognising in Pio Nono the head of a universal church. After three-quarters of an hour's dis cussion, the rev. canon took his leave, placing in the .hands of his holiness a document containing the principal heads of his argument, which appears to have made some impression on the pontiff's mind, judging from the fact of his having sent to the doctor's residence on Sunday last, only two days after the interview, requesting to be made acquainted with the period of Dr. Townsend's return (he has just gone to Naples), as he'should then like to have some more conversation with him.—Correspondent of the Daily Arews.—[Dr. Townsend should have consulted his bible, and invited the pope to act in accordance there-., with. But that his holiness will never do, and therefore we can have " no peace with Rome."] RECAL OF THE FRENCH AMBASSADOR. The greatest excitement prevailed in the metropolis on Thursday afternoon, in consequence of its having become known that Mons. Drouyn de l'Huys, the French ambas sador, had left London abruptly, after receiving the following letter from the French Minister of Foreign Affairs, which was read in the National Assembly : Paris, May 14. " Sir,—As I had the honour of announcing to you yesterday, the Council has deliberated on the reply of the Cabinet of London, which you had been directed to transmit to us, My Preceding despatches must have caused you to anticipate the decision of the Government of the Republic. France, in a spirit of kindness and peace, had decided to interpose her good offices for the purpose of terminating, on honourable terms, the differences which had arisen between Great Britain and GrooCe It had been agreed that the coercive measures already resorted to by England should be suspended during the course of the mediation, and that if an arrangement deemed fit to be accepted by the French mediator should be rejected by the. British mediator, the latter should refer the matter to London I before again having recourse to force. We had received on this point the most formal promises, which, however, have not been observed. This deplorable consequence has resulted there from, namely, that at the moment when a convention, nego tiated directly, and definitely agreed to, between the Cabinets of London and Paris, was on the point of arriving at Athens, where already the essential conditions of it were known, Greece, attacked anew by the naval forces of Great Britain, in spite of the energetic representations made by the French Envoy, was obliged, in order to escape complete ruin, to accept without discussion the clauses of an ultimatum far more rigor ous. On learning this strange result of our mediation we be lieved it to be the effect of a misunderstanding. We had hoped that the Cabinets in London, like us, considering as null and void the acts so much to be regretted by every one, and which had been concluded in violation of an engagement entered into with us, would maintain the convention concluded in London. You hag been charged to apply to the English Cabinet to do so, and that demand not having been agreed to, it has ap- . peared to us that the prolongation of your sojourn in London is not compatible with the dignity of the Republic. The President has ordered me to direct you to return to France after having accredited W. Mareschalci as Charge d'Affaires. He has also directed me to express to you all the satisfaction which the Government of the Republic feels at the zeal, ability, and spirit of conciliation and firmness you have constantly shown in the course of the negotiation, the non-success of which was not attributable to you. You will be pleased to communicate this dispatch to Lord Palmerston. " LAHIrrE." The correspondent of the Morning Herald says : " When General de la Hitte announced the recal of the French ambassador, the right benches, composed of Legitimists and Orleanists, cheered most uproariously, but the left benches remained perfectly cold and silent. Upon the Minister moving that the documents be printed, General Cavaignac and his immediate friends marked their dissent by rising in favour of the negative--a cir cumstance that caused a marked sensation. It is now in everybody's mouth that the coolness has been got up for the sake of forwarding an alliance with Russia as a step to the overthrow of the Republic." The correspondent of the nmee says:--" The impres sion produced amongst all parties here I stated to be of the most painful kind, and I find that since then that impression, far from being diminished, has , on The con trary, inc.reassd, Jt is Deceosary to add that ,thebeling Ei LIVERPOOL STANDARD. 'is net , confrend to those 'who are ordinarily adverse to England or Eng interests ;itisto be found eqttally amcingst those wtio were hitherto the warmestpartisans of `the English alliance, but who have no answer to make to those whose constant theme was la perfide Albion. They believe that from England they are not to expect good faith, and they 'complain the more. bitterly from the con viction that the English government has taken an unge nerous advantage of the distracted state of France, and of the almost insurmountable difficulties her government has to overcome ; struggling for existence in presence of a menacing and dangerous faction at home, armed rebellion almost at their very door, 'and abroad insincerity and duplicity, when they were led to expect the contrary. It would be superfluous to say many words on the conse quences of a rupture with France. In any case some humiliation will have to be submitted to, but that in volved in the execution of the original convention is the least." According to letters from Havre, the government had already begun to make preparations for a rupture. One letter, dated Thursday morning, says—" Orders have been received here this morning to levy all the sailors of from 20 to 40 years of age. This levy comprises the seven tenths of the qailors of the Inscription, which is never done except in contemplation of war." - The Paris papers of Friday are principally occupied with the exciting subject of the Ambassador's recal from Lon don. The Union states that the order for the recal was issued during the absence of the President of the Repub lic, who, on his return from Fontainebleau, heard with great emotion and pain what had taken place. Should this be true the President has been betrayed. All the op position journals, without' exception treat the subject as a ruse to cover an intrigue, having the double object of fa vouring the electoral law, and of forming an alliance with Russia. • The Legitimist organs are furious against Gen. Cavaignic for the manner in which he foiled their coup de the'dtre. There is not much on the Greek business in the French journals of Saturday. Lord Normanby has taken his passports, and itis said in the leading French papers, that he will leave immediately, but it is most probably a hazarded report. The papers talk more of insurrection, and the organs of the party of order want a dictatorship to be declared at once.'' M. Faucher read his report on the electoral law yesterday, the conclusions of which have been already anticipated. The debate is fixed for Tues day. The funds are about the same as last quotations, rather a little better. The National states that M. Brenier. dirlctor at the foreign-office is about to set out for L on d on , c h arge d "ecial mission. The London Times of Saturday was loud in its con demnation of Lord Palmerston, but yesterday, our con temporary was somewhat milder in his tone. The ex citement on the subject is fast dying away: Of course apprehension that war will be the issue is needless. The Times of yesterday says :—" We have not as yet antici pated, nor do we even now apprehend, that the unfortn natP 1 Pmtl..'""‘—'-- -`" and embarrassing position into which the late opera tions of the British fleet in Greece and the tate proceed ings of the British Government have thrown our relation , with France and other continental powers, is of so seri°, and formidable a nature as to threaten this country and the world with actual war." The Globe of Saturday _says :—" We ventured yester day to express-our disbelief that the late proceedings in the French assembly seriously menaced the peace of Europe, and twenty-four hours have given us no reason to alter our opinion. The intelligence that reaches us up to the hour at which we write (one p.m.), indicates the ac curacy and sense with w'aich the opinion of Paris has pro- nounced upon the Greek question. We did not indeed know yesterday, as we now do, that the French cabinet g v.a0.0 ULU J. had ventured on the audacious length of summoning M.

But we at once saw which was the only party that could possibly be benefited by so abrupt and hazardous:a step, and that France would not sacrifice foreign peace and domestic freedom to the desighs of such an unpopular and discredited faction. With the Republic struggling for existence against its own official representatives, with its finances in disorder, and the diS organisation of its army held out as a legitimate means of political warfare, surrounded by powers to whom the very name of a Republic is a terror and a warning, France can not hope to develop her liberty or to reconstruct her social order, but on condition of absolute tranquillity abroad." manufacturer felt t' cou whole, would shortly pronounce on the expc went of fi Protectionists to the farce of the the farmers with promises, but rty, delu doing riothiE A iast side by' NI of statistical details were paraded cm the on( d Herries in support of the motion and by Mr. Wilson and the Chancellor of the Excheq ether, against.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—FRIDAY. On the motion of Lord Jou N RUSSELL, it was resolved that the house at its rising should adjourn to Thursday next. RECALL OF THE FRENCH AMBASSADOR. Mr. D'IsRAELi called the attention of the house to the fact that ihe French Ambassador had been recalled from the Court ,of St. James's; and, as the French Government were dissatis fied with the conduct of the British Government with respect the government bad to give on the subject. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said, all he could at present state, in answer to the question of the hon. gentleman was, that the French Ambassador had left this country in consequence of instructions from his own government, and what he considered the unsatisfactory conduct of the British Government with respect to the affairs of Greece. Having been sent to this country specially to settle those affairs, and the attempt 'baying failed, it was natural that the ambassador should be recalled. That was the only statement which he would make at present } and. he would merely add that he was very sorry that any misunderstanding should have arisen between the two governments. During the time the French Ambassador had been in this country her Majesty's Government had treated his representations with every attention. Had M. Le Gros remained in Greece, instead of suddenly quitting it, an arrange ment would have been effected with the Greek Government on the basis which he had proposed, and which would have been satisfactory to the Governments of France and England. Sir JOHN WALSH wished to know whether a copy of the despatch read by the French Minister in the National Assem bly yesterday, had been communicated to the noble lord at the bead of foreign affairs, or to any other member of the govern ment?—Lord JOHN RUSSELL said no copy of the despatch had French ambassador had read 'the despatch to his noble friend at the head of the Foreign Office, and made many observations of his own on the subject of it. No instructions had been sent to the alarquis of Normanby to return to this country.—Tte subject was then dropped. Lord JOHN RUSSELL moved for leave to bring in a bill to provide for the abolition of the office of Lord Lieutenant of Ire land, and for the appointment of a fourth Secretary of State. The noble Lord dwelt upon the inutility of keeping up the pre sent mode of administering the government of Ireland, which was attended with many disadvantages to that country, amongst - which was that of having no minister in the cabinet devoted 'exclusively to its interests and ready at all times to explain them to his colleagues in the cabinet. It was not intended that the office should be immediately abolished; but that power should be given to the Queen in Council to do so at such time -as might be thought expedient, and that a Secretary of State should be appointed to carry on the business of Ireland. It was also intended that the establishment in the Phoenix Park should be kept up for the use of her Majesty, who contemplated making occasional visits to Ireland ; and a vote of supply - would be requisite to defray the expense of these excursions. - which tended to make the wishes and desires of her people bet ter known to her Majesty, and also to endear her Majesty still more to the hearts of her subjects in all parts of the empire.— After a warm discussion, in which several honourable members took part, the house divided on the main question, for leave to bring in the bill, which was carried by a majority of 170 to 17.

Extract from a letter of a county Kildare farmer, dated May 12 :—" I saw, on Saturday we e k, 1000 b arre l s o f wheat sold-for 16s. a barrel (about 275. 6d. the quarter); it was foreign wheat, and was 4s. a barrel before any wheat I ever grew. I can buy at Rathangan the best beef at 3d. per lb., or 275. the cwt. Every day I live I see manifest signs of my prophesy relative to the effects of free trade coming to pass. The Duke of Leinster has upwards of 10,000 acres unlet, and cannot get a solvent tenant to bid him one shilling for them." , - ----- THE IRISH REFUGEES.—An account appears in the Cork Examiner of the manner in which O'Gorman, Doyle, and O'Donnell escaped from Ireland. They were taken on board a small vessel, commanded by a person named Taylor, at Carrigaholt-roads, near Limerick, and which was bound for Malta. They got on board, on the 4th September, without being suspected by the police, who were close at band. One of her Majesty's cruizers steamed close to them, but no search was instituted. They were taken to Malta, and thence to Constantinople, where they lived close to the house of the British ambas sador, Sir Stratford Canning, who (generously) did not send parties to arrest them until two days after they had left the town. Captain TaylOr, in consequence of aiding their escape from Ireland, lost the command of his vessel. FREE TRADE.—Monday a remarkably handsome foreio brig; pierced for 18 guns, came up the river. She an nounced her arrival by discharges of cannon, which were so loud as to produce a concussion of air to that degree as to smash about 60 panes of glass in the Custom-house. This vessel is German built, and is said to be intended for a gun-brig of war if necessary. She is called the Barron Vay, and it is stated that the reason of her being coppered in this city is, that it could be done cheaper and more substantially than where she was built. The arrival of the Barron Vay affords a specimen of the working of the navigation and repeal of the corn laws. She has brought from Odessa no fewer than 3000 qrs. of wheat, and after pouring that supply into this country to the injury of the unfortunate farmer, she is now offering to take emigrants to New York. at the lowest rate compatible with a supply of the best provisions. --Cork Constitution. Row IN A NATIONAL SCHOOL.—On Sunday, the 14th ultimo, being the day appointed to open a Sunday School, in the Ballymaconly National School-house, in the parish of Rasharkin, Londonderry, which is under the patronage of the Rev. Wm. Wallace, Presbyterian Minister, the Roman Catholic party began romping, till at length the Protestant teachers were under the necessity of closing the door against the former, which was soon broken in with great force, an d one o f the Catholic party took off his coat and challenged Master Maberry to fight him, using most insulting language and reproaches against Orangemen ; but the Protestant party evinced the utmost forbearance, through respect to the Sabbath, and the laudable occasion that brought teachers and children to gether. The following Sunday the teacher of the day school had the key withheld, and hindered the Sunday School, much to the satisfaction of the Roman Catholic party, who have been triumphing over their disappointed Protestant neighbours. This is but a small sample of the fruits of the Popish infidel system, and that, too, in a school patronised by a minister of th e gos p e l, b u t wherein the sacred volume has been from time to time dishonoured. On the school being visited by the inspector, the Bibles and Testaments have been huddled together, and the children's muffling thrown over them. ADDRESS OF THE GRAND LODGE OF IRELAND.—The Grand Orange Lodge of Ireland at the annual meeting held in Londonderry, on Wednesday, issued an excellent address. It appears that out of 1900 lodges but 18 have, wavered in their fidelity, and that of these seven have re pented of their lapse, and desire to be again incorporated with the body. The stigma of insubordination was at tempted to be fixed on the brethren by an individual, not a member of the order, and who was and is wholly unable to influence the members of a single lodge in the district to which he once belonged. The address, which is signed by Sir W. Verner, Bart, chairman, then goes on to say : If a change has passed over the spirit or the temper of persons or parties in Ireland, such as encourages us to believe that life, property, and religion are sure of pro tection from the law, and safe from the adverse assaults of open and secret enemies, a time has come when we may deliberate on the wisdom of dissevering those bonds of association which have been found of no great power and efficacy. But if we believe that there is s till d ar k conspiracy which aims at subverting the established order of things—if there are systems of outrage which threaten the peace and comfort of individual life—if governments and legislatures, instead of resisting evils and upholding law, are so influenced that they regard atrocities of dis affected, men not as evil deeds which are to be punished, but as arguments to which the law must yield deference— if the state perseveres in the course of concession which strengthens, while it does not conciliate, enemies, and which endangers most Aeriously the permanent security of loyal men, then surely it would ill befit us, who have derived.benefit in former dints cit mil from our close May 21, 2 14 7 !I 1 : SP' ' A Derby papers glve ( •W ' s A GHOST STORY.—Th e the appearance of a ghost I state Hiatt too k n oi', Church, in that town.

Some ancient Egyptian ointment, preserved in an ala baster vase, in the museum at Alnwick, still retains a powerful odour, though it must be between 2,000 and 3,000 years old. Special committees have lately been held at the Ord nance Office, for the purpose of examining various neg, kinds of muskets which inventors have submitted as im provements on the weapons now used in the British service. While a youth was sailing for amusement in a cobble off Scarborough, on Friday week, a gust of wind upset the boat, which immediately sank. Fortunately the youth was a good swimmer, and he succeeded in reaching the shore safely, after swimming about an hour. A hen belonging to an innkeeper at Hipperh6lme, York shire, was lost on the 17th of April last, and after a period of 17 days was eventually found alive in a large brewing pan, partly covered over, from which she could not pos sibly escape. She had laid three eggs, but could have received no kind of sustenance whatever during the time of her confinement. ADVENTURES OF A DEBTOR.—During the gaol delivery in York Castle, in December, 1848, a debtor, named Rothery, who was then under confinement, contrived to make his escape, which he effected so as to make his way to America. It appears he had got tired of that country, and returned to his native place, Golcar, near Hudders field, where he was captured a few days since, and re lodged in York Castle. NOVEL ARRIVAL BY POST.—On Thursday, a gentleman in Edinburgh received by post from London, the Illus trated News of last week, when on tearing open the cover and unfolding the paper, a very large mouse was jerked from the sheet over the staircase, and fell on the lobby floor below. There it lay for some seconds apparently stunned, but, just when about to be killed, it recovered, made for the dining room, and, after a run round the room, got to earth beneath the grate. The emigration from the United Kingdom during the ten years ending the 31st Dec., 1846, amounted to 856,392 persons, giving an average of- 85,639 emigrants a-year. During the year 1847 and 1848 the number of emigrants was 258,270 and 248,089 respectively, being nearly double the largest number that had emigrated in any previous year. During the year 1849 the emigration had reached the unprecedented number of 299,948 per sons, of which number 260,817 proceeded to North Ame rica, 219,450 went to the United States, and 41,367 to British North America. Most probably the threatened commission to the Uni versities will not now be issued. The Duke of Welling ton, who never feared to meet the foes of his country, in whatever shape they might present themselves, has raised the standard of opposition, and all true-hearted English men will rally round it. His Grace said, "He hoped that no proceedings would be taken which would have the ,gfect of forcing some of the most respectable, faithful, and loyal of her Majesty's subjects to choose between THEIR DUTY of obedience to her Majesty's commands, and THEIR DUTY with respect to the execution of the law." THE LATE EXTRAORDINARY TRANCE.—The daughter of James Cromer, of Farrington, whose extraordinary condition was noticed in our last, spoke on Tuesday last for the first time for upwards of 13 years ; her first inquiry was for her aunt Killen, and when her aunt came the girl immediately repeated the Lord's Prayer. Extreme weak ness prevented her from articulating many words in suc cession ; cramp and convulsions are supposed to have un locked the jaw for the time. She experienced a great deal of pain for many days ; the jaw is again set as firm as before. The girl seems to apprehend that death would soon terminate her existence.—Bristol Mirror. RAGGED SCHOOL UNION.—The anniversary, of this SOciety was held at Exeter Hall, on Tuesday ; Lotd Ashley in the chair, supported by Lord Kinnaird, the Earl of Harrowby, Earl Waldegra ve , Mr. Cochra ne , and others. The report stated that there was at present 94 local ragged schools ; 256 boys and young women had been sent out to Australia within the last eighteen months, all of whom were employed at good wages, and were doirig well. The public had been applied to for the emigration fund, and £1,220 had been received towards the object. The number of voluntary teachers was 1,350, and the week-day scholars were 5.174. ONE WHO TAKES CARE NOT TO GIVE OFFENCE. the Eclectic Review there is a paper on Wesleyan mat ters, written by a dissenter, who ostentatiously professes "-a studious care to avoid giving offence," and to be "charitable in the constructions put upon conduct." Here are some samples of the performances of this con siderate gentleman :—John Wesley--" sacrificed even his principles as a churchman to his irrepressible love of sway." Richard Watson—" did not disdain to prostitute ,his rare talents." The entire Wesleyan conference—are " a class of ministers rarely exhibiting much outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual grace." The receipts of the London and North-Western Rail way for the week ending the 12th inst. show an increase of £6788 over those for the corresponding petiod of last year, namely, an increase of £3366 for passengers, parcels, carriages, horses, and mails, and £3413 in the merchan dise and cattle traffic. The past week includes the ailment taken during the Chester races, which occurred in the preceding week of last year ; but, of course, the goods traffic has not been augmented by the races. The increase of traffic since the commencement of the year has been £45,630 over the corresponding period of 1849, or a weekly increase of £2400, that is at the rate of £124,800 pe' annum Bland, pass Nte t ;( l l e aiar k 4 ri t ob an ? . leN 'Prs,• " 1 1 t k qt,i,it i Sitlo r ,e epngr 4 1, t ht ehtr a p e to i o 3( 511 )( 1 I' llo ! h • W I tt3 f ct,: t rd Th, ttl4 l d Job ttf eB, C.`l4Nh,„°P of et Ai a ct of Cl A ir )th, 'Vs dtlailite‘e°4ll, P beZt ele l ): . h the,, t i 1 1 ,, c11 f e T • ttit t l4 ity ° 1 11 't : o th e ,itv: p ie,t,;, 0 oP r it: P ccieE 'Or Ob ` 4) nd ' 4l PI AL 4 t e. 114e1 rp ) gA ir Of .0 ' ll th e %'t.t( tte, v 4.)0 4 41„"ed.
