All at once an uncontrollable fancy took bold upon his mind to isit the Holy Land. Why and wherefore he could not divine; for his patriotic virtues were exceedingly impaired by the contact of infidel Christians; but go he must. He reduced all his property to ready cash, and left Russia with his lucrative situation, accompanied by his wife and (laughter, and, after a few months travelling, they arrived here. Dr. K.'s skill i n the medical department was soon apparent among his brethren, and, as they had no Jewish physician, his arrival was hailed by the Synagogue with a great deal of gratification. He soon ehiefs of . his nation here in tue year 1841, mr. E. Tartakover was sent out by the London Society for Promoting Christianity amongst the Jews, to act as one of the Missionaries in the Holy City. Poor Mr. T., soon after his arrival, was taken very ill with opthalmia, and stood in danger of losing his sight. D. K. knew Mr. T's. family he visited, therefore. the blind missionary, and said : "I am very sorry to find you under such painful and distress ing circumstances; it appears that the flood of light which you fancy Christianity shed upon you, deprived you of your phys'cal sight, and after all, I, in my unbelief enjoy the light of Heaven more liberally than you do.' Mr. T. replied in the style and manner a resigned Christian does under such circum stances. He told his Elinhaz t- tat his soul enjoyed an amount of life for which he was more thankful than if his eye was illumined, and that he would rather that his bodily eye be dark, than his eye of faith unenlightened. Dr. K. said: 'You are at perfect liberty to enjoy what dream you have got: I am speak of ; but it grieves me mnch to see you in this plight. I know your family well, and I should be elad to be of some service to you in this trying dilemma. Where is the medicine you use ?' Mr. T. told him the locality it was placed in, and the Hebrew doctor examined it, and pronounced it an infalli ble drug to perpetuate the patient's blindness. He sa , d to Mr. I'.. ' If you are at all anxious to recover your sight, I beg of you to give up this horrid drug. Put it by; do not tell your physician that I havecnnntermanded his prescriptions. I will furnish you with medicine, which I venture to;tssert, will enable you to behold the light again in the course of a week. I will come to see you daiiy.' Mr. T. obeyed, and before the week elapsed, Mr. T. was enabled to catch a glimpse of light. Dr. K. was regular in his visits; Mr. T. spoke con stantly of the hope set before him, and the very day Mr. Tartakover began to open his physical eyes, a light broke in upon Dr. K.'s moral eyes. The physician threw himself an humble suppliant at the foot of the Cross, exclaimincr : How true is it that the Lord leads the blind in a way they know not I What a mercy that I was dissatisfied with my native country ! What a cure was effected by your disease I T wa■ blind hot now I see; I was lost, but now am found !' Mr. T. related to the late bishop the whole of this deeply interesting episoCe. The Right Reverend Dr. Alexander took the physician into his immediate care; he instructed him, and baptized him, protected him, and obtained support for him ; whilst the credit of curino. Mr. T. was tacitly accorded to the authorized In his letters to the Duchess of Manchester, the Misses Ashton, and his daughter, Mr. M. gives several pieces of Hebrew music, chaunted by the mourning remnants of " Judah's wandering tribes" at midnight. as well as at the "-place of wailing" in Jerusalem, of which a descrip tion is given in the following letter to Miss Ashton, dated June, 1849 : "When I visited Nablous, the principality of ancient Samaria. I was staying at the house of a Sy r i an Ch r i st i an, which adjoined the Jewish quarter. From the terrace of the house I lived in, I could see and hear all that was going on in the Hebrew district. I was obliged to leave that beautifully situated city at midnight ; and when I was just on the point of descending the terrace of the house, where I was writing my "Evening Notes," and a I around was quiet and serene, enjoy ing the repose of sleep, the following little verse first broke upon my ear:— On account of these things and on account of those do I constantly weep.

The music I send you was chanted by several vene rable old men, whose voices, though somewhat tremulous, were yet clear and stentorian ; the effect was therefore raptu rous to my ears." We are unable to print here the music of this beautiful elegy, which for its quaint and plaintive melody is un surpassed by anything we have ever heard. Mr. Margolioutn s work will not only prove interesting to the Christian and the literati, but also to the antiqua rian, the Biblical scholar, the politician, and the musi cian. The work is dedicated to the Bishop of Chester, by whom the author's talents are justly appreciated, and is one worthy of an attentive and careful perusal by all per sons who feel interested (and who does not ?) in the Holy Land and God's chosen people. VARIETIES A PUFF AS IS A PUFF. —The New York Courier writes an account of a new iron safe which was exposed to a heat that completely destroyed its competitor, and from which was taken, after the trial, a live rooster and a lump of stamped butter. The butter was harder than when it was put in, the stamp remaining perfect, and the rooster came out alive and well, only suffering from the cold, and al most frozen by the coldness of the temperature to which be had been exposed.—Boston Mail. COOKING A FOWL IN AUSTRALIA.—After the fire was made, I ordered Jemmy to give the turkey to the black fellows to cook, with the understanding that they were also to partake of it. They very soon managed to cook it in the following manner : they with their sticks made a large deep hole in the sand, and into this hole they filer wards threw a quantity of short junks of wood, which they lighted ; after burning this kind of wood in the hole for the space of an hour, they placed the turkey in the hole, first bending the legs close to the body ; after this a sheet of bark was placed over the orifice, and the crevices stopped with sand. Another large fire was made near the bark, and kept burning for half an hour, when the bark was removed and the turkey taken out, beautifully and delicately cooked. The aroma on fi rs t t a ki ng out t h e bi rd was delicious. Bushmen are proverbially not very fasti dious; but I felt no di s i ncl i nation to eat the bird, after being cooked and handled by these blacks, and ordered Jemmy to take off the feathers. This was a very large bird, and gave us an excellent slipper as well as breakfast. —Journal of a Naturalist, in the Melbourne Argus. THE WARINESS OF DEER.—The deer is the most acute animal we possess, and adopts the triost sa gac i ous p l ans for the preservation of its life. When it lies, satisfied that the wind will convey to it an intimation of th e approach of its pursuer, it gazes in another direction. If there are any wild birds, such as curlews or ravens, in its vicinity,it keeps its eye intently fixed on them, convinced that they will give it a timely alarm. It selects its cover with the greatest caution, and invariably chooses an eminence from which it can have a view around. It recog nises indivi duals, and pertnits the shepherds to approach it. The stags at Tornapress will suffer the boy to go within twenty yards of them, but if I attempt to encroach upon them they are off at once. A poor man who carries peat in a creel on his back here, may go " cheek-by-jowl" with them : I put on the pannier the other day, and attempted to advance, and immediately they sprung away like ante lopes. An eminent deer-stalker told me the other day of a plan one of the keepers adopted to kill a very wary stag. This animal had been known for years, and occupied part of a plain, from which it could perceive the smallest ob ject at the distance of a mile. The keeper cut a thick bush, which he carried before him as he crept, and com menced stalking at eight o'clock in the morning'; but so gradually did he move forward, th a t it was fi ve p . m. be fore he stood in triumph with his foot on the breast of the antlered king. "I never felt s o muc h f or an i n f er i or creature," said this gentleman, " as I did for this deer. When I came up, it was panting life away, with its large blue eyes firmly fixed on its slayer. You would have thought, sir, that it was accusing itself of simplicity in having been so easily betrayed.

CHANGE FOR A SOVEREIGN.-At Sehauffhausen there were, as usval, many Englishman, who, also as usual, had a growl about the moneys and the hotels, " I have been making myself practically acquainted with the currency in a way of my own," said Smith, junior. " How so ?" inquired one of the group of travellers who . _ explained our hero Ostend ; and then changed what I got for it in Prussia; then changed that in the'duchy of Nassau ; and that arain in the free city of Frankfort ; and so on repeated the process in Baden and Bavaria—in fact, in each separate jurisdiction through which we passed. There it i=," said Smith, as he suited the action to the word by emptying the contents of his experimental poc ket upon the table. The exhibition looked very unpro- _ . raising, certainly. The glittering twenty-shilling piece left at Ostend was now represented by as ugly a collection of dirty, worn, counterfeit-looking jumble of silver and copper as ever an IQraelite counted out in the Jews'-lane at Frankfort. " Count it up," said Smith, the younger. Very good," said the German, and he began. " Five francs—ten—" said Smith. " Stop," said the German. " Swiss francs and French francs are different things— different values. I will tyll you the worth of this heap." He went to work to tell them over, and stated the result in batzen and rappen.___" And how much is that worth in teen shillings and a penny farthing," replied the German. " What ?" shrieked Smith. " Fourteen shillings and a penny farthing English,"repeated the German.—Dickens' Honsehold Words. A FLEA-BITTEN SOJOURNER IN GREECE.—After din ner I made inquiries of my host what he had in the way of bed. His answer was specific. There was no bed, no mattress, no divan ; sheets were unknown things, and wool he did not recommend. But at last I was told of a and which she sometimes let out tc evil hour I sent for it. That treacheroUs bed and its clean white coverlet, will never be forgotten by me. I laid down upon it, and in one minute was fast asleep ; the next I started up a perfect Marsyas. Never until that day had I any idea of what fleas could do. So si multaneous and well-conducted was their attack, that 1 was bitten all over, from top to toe, at the first assault. They evidently were delighted at the unexpected o:Lange of diet from a grim, skinny old woman to a well-fed traveller, fresh from the t a bl e o f th e em b ass y. I ex- amined the white coverlet ; it was actually brown ai;h fleas. I threw away my clothes, and, taking desperate measures to , get rid of some myriads of my assailants, I fever of my blood. I half expected to see the fleas open the door and march in after me, as the rats did after Bishop Hatto, on his island in the Rhine; but, fortu- nately the villains did not venture so far from home. The mattress was, I am inclined to believe, entirely stuffed with fleas. How so large a party could be pro vided with regular meals it is difficult to conjecture. They could not have had board as well as lodging in the old lady's house, or she would have been eaten up long ago. Whatever their diet usually was, the sharpness of their appetites proved that they were in excellent health. There I sat, fanning myself in the night air, and bathing face and limbs in water, till the sun rose, when, with a . . doleful countenance, I asked my wa y t o a b a th. , I found one, and went into the hot inner room, with nothing on but a towel round my waist and one on my head, as the custom is. There was no one else there, and when the thought I had got the most deadly kind of plague, which breaks out in an eruption, and carries off the patient in a few hours. When it was explained to him how I had fallen into the clutches of these Lemnian fleas, he pro ceeded to rub me and soap me according to the Turkish fashion, and wonderfully soothing and comforting it was. —Curwen's Visits to Monasteries in the Levant. A DEN OF THIEVES ON THE FLEET DITCH, LONDON. —One of the last glimpses to be caught of this nauseous stream was a few years since, at the destruction of some old houses in West-street, at the south end of Saffron hill, which had been the hiding-place and stronghold of thieves, and an asylum for the most depraved of both sexes, from the reign of Queen Anne to our own times. Here, qccording to tradition, the notorious Jonathan Wild carried on his crafty and nefarious traffic of plunder and human blood. The black and disgusting-looking stream flowed through a deep and narrow channel, encased on each side with brick, and overhung with miserable-looking dwelling-houses, the abode of poverty and crime. The stronghold of the thieves consisted of separate habita tions, one on each side of the ditch, which were inge niously contrived with the means of escape, in the event of their being invaded by' the myrmidons of the law. On each side of the ditch also was a small aperture in the brick-work, of sufficient size to afford egress for the human body : and, accordingly, a plank might readily be thrown from one aperture to the other, and as readily withdrawn in the event of pursuit; or, in the last extremity, the culprit could plunge into the ditch, and pursue his course down the murky stream, till either some fan.iliar outlet, or the habitation of some friendly companion in crime, afforded him the means of crime. The principal build ing, to which we have alluded, was unquestionably of great antiquity. In the reign of George the First it was known as the Red Lion Tavern. Its dark closets, its trap-doors, its sliding panels, and its secret recesses and hiding places, rendered it no less secure for purposes of robbery and murder, than as a refuge for those who were under the ban of the law. In this house, about twelve years ago, a sailor was robbed, and afterwards flung na ked, through one of the apertures which we have de scribed, into the Fleet ditch—a crime for which two men and a woman were subsequently convicted and transported for fourteen years. About the same time, although the premises were surrounded by the police, a thief made his escape by means of its communications with the neigh bouring houses, the inhabitants of which were almost universally either subsistent upon, or friendly to pillage and crime. At the demolition of these premises, there were found in the cellars, among other mysterious evi dences of the dark deeds which had been perpetrated within their walls, numerous human bones. which, there can be little doubt, were those of persons who had met with an untimely end.—Jesse's London and its Celebrities. enteral liiisrtilanv. The sum of £1,400 has been raised by a bazaar for the Ragged Schools at York. At the Newmarket races, on Tuesday, Lord Airlie had his pocket picked of £3OO.

A few days since, at Dowlais, Glamorganshire, a young man who had returned home greatly fatigued by his work, lay down by the fireside, and soon fell asleep. His clothes unfortunately caught fire, and though he leaped into a tub of water as soon as the flames awoke him, he was so se verely injured that he died on the following day.

He insisted upon returning the filter, and receiving back his money. The tradesman, however, persuaded him to retain his purchase and apply it to its legitimate purpose in future. A NOVEL DINNER.—A curious case was heard before the :sitting magistrates at Sunderland, on Monday last, and is thus related by our Sunderland contemporary : Ellen Brydon was charged by Andrew Brydon with having assaulted him. The partie3 are ma❑ and wife, and have been married seven years. Having lately differed on ac- count of the wife having pawned her husband's clothes for drink, the defendant put an advertisement into the Sun derland Herald stating that he would not be answerable for any debt that his wife might contract for the future. At this his wife became enraged, and when her husband came come to ainner, on rise aay tee aavertisement ap peared, he found the cloth laid on the table, and a clean plate with the Sunderland Herald neatly folded and laid upon it so as to show the advertisement. The hungry and astonished husband looked aghast, but rallying again, delivered a lecture to his spouse. who returned the com pliment with interest, and seized his cap and walloped him round the floor. She then took a knife and flourished it over his head, on which he turned her to the door. The prisoner said she had been ill-used by her husband, who had been two years and seventeen weeks out of work, during which time she had kept him.—Fined one shilling and costs, or seven days' imprisonment. EXTRAORDINARY DOINGS ON THE COAST OF AFRICA. —At the Thames Police-office, on Wednesday, Captain Robert Prede, master of the ship Governor M' Donald, appeared to an assault summons, issued by one of his crew, named David Isbasta. The complainant stated that whilst the vessel was at Cameroon, off the coast of Africa, Farmer, the mate, accused him of stealing some spirits, on which the captain handed him and another man named Bainbridge, who was charged with a similar offence, over to King Bill, the savage monarch of the island, and they were chained to a tree for three weeks, suffering all kinds of privations and indignities. Bainbridge sickened and sank under the treatment; but witness, being of a more robust constitution, survived. He saw King Bill every clay, and his Majesty promised to interfere in his behalf; but, knowing him to be a man-eater. witness would wil lingly dispense with his visits ; and it was not until Bain bridge died that witness was sent back to the ship. The magistrate having asked how he knew that the King was a man-eater, the complainan replied that there were two other vessels from Liverpool lying alongside, which had only two or three whites on board ; and one of the cap tains having offended the King, his Majesty, who spoke very good English, threatened to eat him. (Laughter.) The defendant was remanded. ALLEGED ATTEMPT TO ROB AND MURDER BY MEANS OF CHLOROFORM.—KendaI has been thrown into a state of the greatest excitement and alarm by the report that an attempt had been made on Sunday night, by a man who had secreted himself under a bed in Shaw's Tempe rance Hotel, to rob and murder, by the agency of chloro form. a gentleman lodging in the house. It appears that the Rev. Lachlan M'lntosh had taken up his quarters on Sunday night, at Shaw's Temperance Hotel, in that town. Mr. Wlntosh, who had retired to bvd about nine o'clock, was awoke about twelve by a man attempting to suffocate him by means of a rag steeped in chloroform. Mr. M'lntosh, who is an elderly man, struggled desperately with his assailant; but, whether from the fumes of the chloroform, or the terrible disadvantage at which he was taken by his midnight assailant, he felt himself fast fail ing, when his cries of " Help !—murder !" roused the house. When Mr. Shaw, of the Temperance Hotel, made his way into the room, the intended victim was almost powerless, and the assassin, or robber, was lying - pon the bedding, which had fallen upon the floor in the ff. Ben, —, apparently sound asleep. On being roughly shaken, the latter professed that he had long been a sleep-walker, and appeared to be astonished to find him self where he was. 'A policeman was sent for, and the man was taken into custody. INTERESTING OPERATION AT THE GLASGOW EYE INFIRMARY.—Much interest was last week excited by the case of a man in whose left eye a living parasitic ani mal (cysticercus) existed, and could be seen to move be hind the transparent part, or the cornea of the eye. This, though only the sixth case of the kind on record, is the second which has occurred at the Glasgow Eye Infirmary within the last two years. The last example was in a girl, who was successfully operated on by Dr. Mackenzie. and who, after the removal , tf the parasite from the eye, enjoyed perfect vision. The subject of the present notice having been made acquainted with the nature of his dis ease, and the good result of the former case, chose to come down from England to put himself under the care of Dr. Mackenzie, who on Saturday extracted the offending ani mal from his eye, and has also dismissed him quite well, the eye presenting no appearance of ever having been operated on at all. The animal in question has a neck about a third of an inch long, formed of rings, somewhat after the fashion of a tapeworm, and bearing a curious head armed with suckers. Its other end is a transparent bag, about one-eighth of an inch in diameter, the wavy motions of which were beautifully seen in front of the pu pil. The whole subject of the entrance of parasitic ani mals into the living body is obscure;. but there seems lit tle reason to doubt that the germs must enter the blood, and in this way be carried to those parts of the body where they become developed. It is not improbable that the eating the flesh of animals inhabited by such parasites, " measly" pork, for instance, may be one means of in troducing them into man.—North British Mail. THE UNPROTECTED FEMALE RECEIVING HER MA JESTY.—By some means or other, the party assembled on Thursday evening to receive her Majesty, at the Mea dowbank or " Queen's" Station, had become of that pecu liarly varied description which is politely designated as being more " numerous than select." An incident, how ever, soon occurred, which in the materials it afforded for the ludicrous, amply repaid those who really felt they had the privilege of being present for arty inconvenience they might feel on account of their juxtaposition to their more uncouth neighbours. An old lady, whose appear ance indicated that she had been previously fortified, both internally and externally, for all the rigours of an October evening, advanced, with umbrella in hand, towards the front of the platform, and espying some less fortunate female friend among a group whose heads were peering above the wall on the opposite side of the railway, pro ceeded to descant in no very refined language on the ex cellence of her then position. She seemed to be the verit able Mrs. Jones, who had, as usual, forgotten herself entirely among the congregation of grand folks who were about her; and in a loud shrill tone of voice, with admi rable patois logic, she endeavoured to enforce on her female acquaintance not only the excellence of her situa tion, but also the advisability of the aforesaid friend leaving the place where she stood, and coming over to the platform. A universal titter was instantly heard, and there is no question that if the good dame had been allowed to proceed for a little time longer, the risible muscles of the spectators would soon have been in active play. As it was, however, Sheriff Gordon, somewhat fluttered, at once ordered a policeman to do his duty, and 240 odd had the satisfaction of removing the old lady to a more convenient place—she all the while being lost in the most unspeakable amazement as to what was the real nature of her offence.—North British Mail. THE GRAND NATIONAL CONCERTS. — The first of these performances took place at her Majesty's Theatre, Lon don, on Tuesday night. They had excited great expecta tion, and the house (the promenade part of it especially) was crowded to excess. The interior of the theatre, as fitted up for these concerts, presents a very gay and pleasing coup d'ceil. The plan is similar to that intro duced by Jullien at Drury-lane. The pit and stage form an immense promenade, being connected by two short flights of steps on each side of the orchestra, which is erected on the stage, and entirely surrounded by the pro menade. The pit, in front of the orchestra, being the best part of the promenade for hearing, is of course the most crowded. On Tuesday the audience was inconve niently numerous, and there was great confusion. Be sides this, there were no great novelties either in the singers or the music selected, and matters went badly. The second of the series, on Wednesday night, was hardly more successful. One London paper says that it cannot discover the " nationality " of the concerts. With the single exception of the name of Rowland, which is appended to a very well-known work of by no means an obscure composer (Mayseder, op. 40), no English composer appeared in the programme. The Morning Chronicle says : —"The lion of the evening was young Heinrich Werner, the pianist. The tri umphs which this little prodigy has won in the highest circles have expanded with his last night's display. It is perhaps due to the modern facility of intercommunication that, at the age of nine years and some months, this genius has reaped his laurels from so wide a field. He has played before the dilettanti of Norwich, where, the Philharmonic Society elected him an ordinary member; and her Majesty has listened approvingly while his tiny fingers grappled with the difficulties of Liszt and Wit. mers. 'Wonderful as is the courage of the little B'eeth. oven,' as he has been called, his grasp of ha nd is unequal , to the conceptions of the hecato-dactylic Liszt.

SINGULAR CASE OF MISTAKEN IDENTITY.—About seven o'clock last Sunday evening a young man presented himself at the door of the vicarage, Brightlingsea, and asked for some victuals and a night's lodgings, and he refused to leave till his requirements were satisfied. The expostulations of the servants being ineffectual in dis missing the visitor, the vicar (the Rev. Dr. Coils) came forward and remonstrated with the fellow, who, however, remained firm to his resolution ; and the rev, gentleman was at length necessitated to forcibly eject him from the house. About five o'clock the next morning a man, answering his description was observed leaving the premi ses, and from subsequent investigation it was pretty evi dent he had located himself for the night in Dr. Coll's carriage. On Monday, by the rev. gentleman's direc tions, a young labourer from Frating, named John Clary, was apprehended at Brightlingsea, and being taken to the vicarage was recognised both by Dr. Coils and his ser vant as the party who had been there the night before It was subsequently f wever, that both had been I mistaken in their identity ; for, on the prisoner beine chester several of oeen at home on the Sunday night. Clary was accordingly taken before a magistrate and discharged, and the rev. gentleman re compensed Clary for the mistake. having •MURDER BY . POISONING.—A great deal.of painful ex citement has been created in the vicinity of Ponttryhed fendigaed, South Wales, in consequence of the death of an elderly lady of highly respectable family connexions, named Ann Jones, under circumstances which leave no doubt that her death was produced by the administration of arsenic ; and the excitement has been 'further increased by the apprehension of Mrs. Elizabeth Jones, daughter in-law of the deceased, on suspicion of being the mur deress. The deceased lady, who was a person of respect able family and connexion, had resided at Blonderben, and for some time her eldest son, Mr. Thomas Jones, to gether with his wife (the accused) and their five children, had been living in the same house with her. During the year 1846 the deceased lady's brother died, leaving pro perty to a considerable amount, and bequeathing to her, among others, a legacy of £l,OOO. This sum Mrs. Jones it at her bankers at Aherystwith on her account. Instead of fulfilling her instructions he paid in the money in his own name, and made use of some portion of it. for his own purposes. This being discovered, Mrs. Jones commenced a suit for its recovery, and succeeded in getting a verdict. The son then, without saying anything to his family, went off to America, and his wife and family went to live with his mother, and according to all account, did not treat the old lady very kindly. THE ARCTIC EXPEDITION.—Letters to the Admiralty from the parties to whom the relics of bones, piece of rope &c., found by Mr. Snow, of the Prince Albert, at Cape Riley, have been published, giving the reasons for the conclusion at which they had arrived, that they were con nected with the missing Franklin expedition. The follow ing paragraph from the letter of Sir Edward Parry gives the chief point of interest :—" I would submtt to your lordships what appears to me the most probable conclu sion—namely, that Sir John Franklin's ships, having reached this neighbourhood on the way out in 1845, and being stopped there for a time by the stale of the ice (as I was, and as we know the present searching expeditions have been), a couple of boats may have been detached from each ship to land at Cape Riley to make the usual observations, collect specimens, and examine the coast—a common occurrence in all such expeditions. If detained for a night, each boat's crew may have pitched its own tent, and one for the officers, making five in all. The only circumstance which I cannot explain (supposing the encampment to have been formed by Sir John Franklin's people) is, the large size of the tents, which Mr. Snow has just described to us as twelve feet in diameter and upwards, and which is certainly very large for tents gene rally used on such occasions. This may, in part, perhaps be explained by the stones being thrown from the centre, and the circle thus considerably enlarged when striking the tents." THE LAW OF PATENTS.—CharIes Dickens's House hold Words has taken up this matter. Under the title of " A poor man's tale of a patent," a little history is given of the proceedings, and the vexations, annoyances, and expenses attendant on the process. with the amount of each particular item, the result being an immense expense and the loss of six weeks' time. The tale, after reciting a number of expenses, concludes thus :—" But I hadn't nigh done yet. The Queen's bill was to be taken to the Signet-office in Somerset.house, Strand, where the stamp shop is. The Clerk of the Signet made ` a Signet bill for the Lord Keeper of the Privy Seal ;' I paid him £4 7s. The Clerk of the Lord Keeper of the Privy Seal made 'a Privy Seal Bill for the Lord uhan cellor ;' I paid him £4 2s. The Privy Seal Bill was handed over to the Clerk of the Patents, who engrossed the aforesaid; I paid him £5 17s. Bd. ; at the same time I paid stamp-duty for the patent, in one lump £3O. I next paid him for ' boxes for the patent,' 9s. 6d. Note. — Thomas Joy would have made the same at a profit for Is. 6d. I next paid ` fees to the Deputy, the Lord Chan cellor's Purse-bearer,' £2 2s. I next paid fees to the Clerk of the Hanaper,' 10s. I next paid to the Lord Chancellor again, £1 lls. 6d. Last of all, I paid • fees to the Deputy-sealer and Deputy Chaff Wax, 10s. 6d. I have lodged at Thomas Joy's over six weeks, and the unopposed patent for my invention, for England only, had cost me £96 7s. Bd. If I had taken it out for the United Kingdom, it would have cost me more than £300." THE UNPROTECTED STATE OF THE COUNTRY DIS TRICTS.—The Morning chronicle animadverts upon what it calls " the enormous absurdity and injustice of a law that makes it discretionary with an y body of men, whether their neighbours shall or shall not enjoy the ele mentary benefits of civilization and government :" " The question which these Surrey magistrates are about to investigate and report upon is neither more nor less than this—Shall the inhabitants of the county receive the pro tection of the State in return for the allegiance which they render to her Majesty, and for the taxes which they pay into the Exchequer ? We venture to doubt whether this is a question that ought, in any case, to be referred to a body of men who can in no sense be said to represent the trading and industrious classes- of the community—and, we may add, whose wealth gives them facililies for self protection which may somewhat impair the keenness of their sympathies with their less favoured fellow-citizens. It may be all very well for gentlemen to dispense with the services of a police, when they can conveniently afford to sleep, like one of the Surrey magistrates, with " six barrelled revolving pistols under their pillows," or when they have whole regiments of butlers, coachmen, grooms, and gardeners, ready to do police duty for them at a mo ment's notice. But these succedanea for a constabulary force are luxuries not readily accessible to the mass of the community; and a Government which sends its tax gatherers to poor people's houses, should never suffer it to be a matter of chance whether their earnings are safe from the depredator, and their persons from the assassin." THE HEIGHT OF PRUDENCE.—A man of respectable appearance paid a visit to the Gorbals Police-office on Sa turday, with the view of making a satisfactory arrange ment in case of any contingency that might arise. Agrave, sober, decent-looking person he was, and as a preliminary to his business, he handed in a note to the following pur port :—" Sir,—Being a stranger, and having cause to ap prehend death by apoplexy, should my remains be carried to your office, please to employ a respectable undertaker to place them in a plain coffin, enclosed in a box of inch boards, and direct it —, care of the Session Clerk of Prestonkirk, East Lothian. Also to put my watch and chain into either my box or trunk, that lie at the railway station terminus from Paisley ; and to send these things, with the keys apart, all by the railway, directed to who will pay all expenses in the affair, and oblige, sir, yours, respectfully." The lieutenant on duty, after a pe rusal of this singular epistle, scanned the bearer atten• tively and then put the question, " Was be mad ?" He received for reply, that however mad-like the proceeding might seem, it did not originate in such a cause ; and was then edified by an explanation of how " uncomfortable" it would be to be interred in any graveyard of Gorbals The advice to apply to the inspector of the parish in re gard to the circumstance he rejected, as he did not like to come in contact with such parties. After a long colloquy, the officer began to discover that he could not do better than fall in with the hallucination under which the man suffered, and with that view recommenced him to get a label conveying his wishes suspended about his neck, so that go where he might he would have something like a certainty that his desire would be respected. The advice was gratefully received, and will, we presume. be acted on —Glasgow Chronicle THE_ BRUTE CREATION AND MESMERISM. — The cur rent number of the Zoist contains three instances of mesmeric effect produced upon animals by the ordinary process of manipulation. This is a new branch of the mesmeric science, and as such is entitled to some notice. The first case is communicated by the Duke of Marlbo rough, who, in 1843, operated upon a yard-dog "so savage and ferocious no one dare approach him, and in three minutes had him fast asleep, his last sigh being a deep growl." His grace afterwards operated upon another savage watch-dog at Blenheim, and " in about fifteen minutes he ran into his kennel and hid his eyes from the manipulating process—growling, snarling, and barking most furiously, notwithstanding." The duke then went to work again, the dog being ten times more furious than before, and in 45 minutes " had him so quiet, oppressed, and stupid, that he dropped his nose several times in the mud around his kennel, and kept shutting and opening his eyes." The Rev. T. Bartlett, of Kingstone, near Canterbury, furnishes the second case, and tells how, in the autumn of 1837, when descending a mountain in Westmoreland, a bellowing bull approached the fence which confined him in the roadside field, and evidently wanted to cultivate a closer acquaintance with the rev. gentleman. Mr. Bartlett, apprehensive that the bull might leap the fence, and declining the chance of being fixed upon the horns of a dilemma, approached the excited animal (being of course on the right side of the hedge) and " looked him steadily in the face." - In about a mi nute, says the possessor of the charming power, "a twin kling of the eyelids arose, very similar to that of a human subject at an early stage of mesmeric influence.

At pre sent there is not much evidence against Denham in the case of Mr. Cureton. The Duke of Athol came to fisticuffs the other day with a young Cantab who vas passing (the duke said trespass ing) through Glen Tilt. His Grace also nearly came to blows with the Provost of Perth, because the latter would not remove some ladies from seats on the railway plat form, to which they had been conducted for the purpose of welcoming the arrival of the Queen. PERVERSIONS.—The Church and State Gazette gives an account of the reception of several late members of Margaret's Chapel into the Franciscan order of Father Oakeley's Chapel, at Islington, on the festival of Saint Francis. They were invested with the habit by a Capu- chin monk in . a coarse woollen dress, with a rope round his waist, a large beard, and bare feet. A young gentleman named Parke, a pupil of the Rev. P. Claugliton, rector of Elton, went with a fellow pupil to the river, on Tuesday afternoon week, for the purpose , . . . of shooting water hens. Having killed a bird, which fell on the opposite bmk of the river, and being unable to make his dog fetch it, he himself entered the water, but was swept away by the stream and was drowned. __ _ On Monday, as the railway train was proceeding be tween London and Windsor, a spark from the engine set on fire the muslin dress of a lady, seated in an open car riage in which were about twenty passengers. She was enveloped in fl --‘t. but t' Imes in a moment, monmora ciirraprird i he prompt assist enching them be though all her fore she sustained much personal injury garments were destroyeC - INCENDIARY FIRES.—The Cambridge Chronicle, of Saturday, contains the particulars of three more incen diary fires—two at the village of Stretham, in the Isle of Ely, and the third at Haddenham. The latter was at the cottage art shoemaker named Wheeler, who, after giving a very unsatisfactory account as to the cause of the fire, left home, and committed suicide by first cutting his throar, and afterwards throwing himself into a fish-pond, where his body was found the following morning. A CHECK TO INCENDIARISM.—CoIoneI Cartwright, of Floore House, Oxon, has suggested that farmers who in sure should have the insurance plates fixed to their rick yards so as to show the incendiary that he can inflict no injury even if he should cause the _whole yard to be con- He also expresses an opinion that it would bring more grist to the mill of the insurance companies to have the insured stock thus distinguished, as the un-insured, feeling themselves more exposed than their insured neigh. bours, would insure also. s um ed ANOTHER GLEN TlLT. — WeregrettolearnthattleDuke of Rutland's keepers have received instructions to prevent persons from visiting the celebrated Druidical remains historically named "the Druids' Pulpit," situate near Stanedge Pole, Yorkshire, on the plea that it. would dis turb the birds. This celebrated spot has been the resort of antiquaries, naturalists, acid artists for ages, yet now, forsooth, they are to be warned off, lest they should cause a few grouse to take wing. Several parties on their way to the place have been stopped during the last few weeks. A desperate assault was committed at Bath, on Thurs day night, upon the landlord and landlady of the Queen Square Tavern, by a ruffian named Wallis. He was quitting the house, and the landlord having insisted on the payment of his bill, he assaulted him with a razor, cutting him dreadfully in the head and face. The cries of the wounded man having brought his wife to his assistance, Wallis attacked her also, inflicting on her several severe wounds. The scoundrel was taken into custody. From a document found in his possession, he is described as " Ogle Wallis, gentleman, of King-street, Covent-garden, London." £4 Is. 7d. was found in his possession. On Tuesday night the parsonage-house of the Rev. W. Mudge, at Pertenhall, near Sharnbrook, Bedfordshire, was burglarious!) , broken into by a gang of armed ruffians, disguised with their shirts over their clothing, and their faces blackened. The fellows made use of horrid threats, and having secured the family in one of the upper rooms proceeded to ransack the premises. The fellows also regaled themselves with bread, meat, fruit pie, and several bottles of port wine, carrying off £2OO worth of silver plate, some money, and a Church Missionary box, which has since been found in the church-yard broken open and ' rifled of its contents. The thieves effected their entrance through the larder window. IMPUDENT ROBBERY AT EXETER.-011 Monday even ing, as the Half Moon omnibus was proceeding to the railway terminus, with three gentlemen inside (there be ing no conductor). a fellow jumped up behind, into the place which the omnibus conductor usually occupies, and demanded their fares, alleging that he did so in order to save confusion at the station, The passengers gave him sixpence each, when he immediately disappeared. On their arriving at the station, the driver demanded their fare, and, on being told of the occurrence, informed them they had been cheated, there being no conductor to the 'bus. The gentlemen were, therefore, obliged to pay again. —Devonshire Chronicle. - THE Two HEROINES.-Sir John Franklin, the hero of the Arctic expedition. has been twice married. For his first gallant adventure the late Lady Franklin worked the standard which he was to plant in the dreary regions of the North Pole—a deed worthy of a Spartan dame ; but the courage and fortitude which she displayed in the con templation of his departure failed her when the moment of parting came. She sank under the trial of separation, and on the very day on which he raised the standard, he received the intelligence cf her death. The name of the present Lady Franklin is as " familiar as a household word" in every bosom in England : she is alike the ob ject of our admiration, our sympathy, our hopes, and our prayers. JUNCTION OF THE ATLANTIC AND PACIFIC.—The announcement made by the Times of the Commissioners from America representing the Atlantic and Pacific Junc tion Company having effected arrangements with our leading capitalists for accepting at the proper period a proportionate interest in this project, has been a topic of conversation during the past week. The Commissioners were Messrs. White and Vanderbilt, and the houses here who have entertained the proposal are understood to be Messrs. Rothschild and Messrs. Baring Brothers, and other influential parties. Under these circumstances there is every prospect of the undertaking, when the ne cessary surveys shall have been completed, being pushed to a successful issue. The prospect of England and Ame rica joining heart and hand in this wonderful enterprise is an event of momentous importance, especially since it is known that the plan of operations will be sanctioned by both .governments. COURAGEOUS CONDUCT OF THREE MAIDENS.—A most daring burglary was committed at Mallon Cottage, situated about a quarter of a mile from Abbotskerswell, Devon, on Monday evening last. The proprietor was absent, and had left the care of the house to his three daughters, who had just retired to bed when they heard a noise below, as of some persons breaking into the house. The eldest of them, about 14 years of age, immediately jumped out of bed, struck a light, which she gave to her sisters, and arming herself with two pistols, walked down the stairs followed by her two sisters. On entering the parlour they found everything in confusion, papers lying about, and the desk rifled. The burglars fled on the en trance of the girl, and the young lady with the pistols jumped from the parlour window into the lawn and fired both pistols after them. The thieves had stolen some money, papers, and plate, but, being eager to get off, dropped some plate in the lawn, which was recovered again in the morning. Two suspicious -looking fellows were begging at the house in the morning, but they have not yet been apprehended.—Sherborne Journal. A BURGLAR BEATEN OFF BY A FEMALE.—A southern paper states, that a young woman, Miss Prior, of Led pard Millicent, was aroused from her sleep, at two o'clock on the morning of yesterday week, by hearing the breaking of glass in a room adjoining her sleeping apartment, and almost directly after her bedroom door ' was opened, and at the same moment a glare of light came in upon her face ; she jumped out of bed and closed with a man, who gave her a severe blow on the eye, which laid her prostrate. After a violent struggle with the miscreant, she gained her footing, and ran to her bedroom window, opened it, and called out murder repeatedly. This act of hers appears to have alarmed the wretch, who ran back to the window by which he entered the house, and holloaed out, "Jack Francombe." While he was looking out, Miss Prior ran up behind him, and, taking him by the heels, threw him head foremost out of the window, which was about twelve feet from the ground, where she saw him fall; he got up, bestowed some dreadful curses upon her, and walked away. The burglar has since been captured. He is described as "a labourer, siz feet high, and of most forbidding aspect." or walks se o' ~~t~ ~~~ l~'~; _. f ,- . e FUNEßAL raantdasspi sl l taa D inn E c A he s er . ae — rgsa A erad ble ff r jo ; 0 1 f a ncotland was lately visited by the newly -unide b° it!. formedworkman, residing in an adjoining village,eirhissi. .him of the loss of her gudeman, and 69k „ deter' s unned, she said, to give him a decent burial, thea9kip tookpent every farthing she had in the attempt.
