THE POPES ARRIVAL AND RECEPTION VELLETRI. A R'nnan correspondent of T he Times gives an admir able account of the reception of the different deputations from Rome by the Pope on his arrival at Velletri. The 3f regal and in the im hat city, was a siting rooms were groups of priests, princes, erals, judges, ambassadors, and noble guards, le pag bes, followed by ( bject for a painter, basso r nd Car ith which s lytholo, without which it cannot subsist—at least with a regime of liberty.

Make Christians—it is Christians that our society requires. I say Christians—that is our name, that is what we ought to propagate. The Bible Society has strictly confined itself to its task; it is to Protestants alone that it his distributed holy books ; but its sentiments, its wishes, and its hopes are not confined to the narrow circle to which its action is limited : it ardently desires to make Christians everywhere ; it calls by that name all who take the sacred writings as the basis of their faith, of their hope, and of their love.

Two cattle, which were in the fields along with others, were struck by lightning and killed. A boy hgrrowing in a field on the same farm had the whip jerked from his hand, the bonnet whisked from his head, and his hair burned by the lightning, at the same moment when the cattle were killed. The horses also were struck down ; but, beyond the stupor caused by the shock, no injury was done to them. r _ - The Cambridge Chronicle publishes the following as a specimen of the sort of persons the liberals of that borough think fit to entrust with the management of municipal affairs.

LORD CAMPBELL AND MISS SELLON.—An anonymous correspondent of the Guardian, in a long communication upon another subject, mentions incidentally that upon reading the letters that passed between Miss Sellon and Lord Campbell, he lost not a post in entreating Miss Sel lon to allow him to double Lord Campbell's subscription towards her " Orphan Home." Upon this the editor of the Guardian remarks in a note :—" If we are not misin formed, our correspondent might have doubled Lord Campbell's subscription without being the poorer for his liberality. We believe that his lordship never actually contributed a sixpence to the Orphans' Home." A case of poisoning with arsenic—that of a woman named Bennison, by her husband—is suspected to have taken place at Leith. The deceased, after taking some gruel, and retching violently, died suddenly on Monday last. In the same building lived a cripple, often drawn in a small cart by a dog. The contents of a vessel into which the deceased had vomited were thrown out, the dog had access to them, it died the same evening, suspicion was directed to the husband, and it appears he had pur chased arsenic on the pretence of killing rats. On the previous Monday, Bennison had entered his wife's name )y her death was entitled to £6. LORD GREY'S PLOUGHING DAY.—A few days ago, Lord Gr,,lr had his " ploughing day" at West Learmouth, one of the largest and finest farms in the county ; and, according to the extent and opulence of neighbouring farmers, from ninety to one hundred ploughs might. der 0 rd;,..--- • der ordinary circumstances, have been fairly expected ; but, alas, there were not more than six, and these be longed to dependents of his lordship. Not a single inde pendent farmer of Northumberland sent a draught of horses to the ploughing day at West Learmouth !! This On Saturday, Mr. W. Archer, builder, of Portland town, obtained £219 in gold at the Bank of England, for . . the money in his pocket, he entered an omnibus. At the same moment, a man about thirty-five. dressed in a brown paletot, took his seat beside him, followed by a female carrying an infant. When near the Angel, at Islington, the lady was seized with hysterics, causing great alarm; and confusion amongst the passengers, and the vehicle being stopped, she was got out and taken to a surgeon's. who had followed " Who are you " I am a daughter v 'er my t )wn want walk onw you ?

PEDESTRIANISM.—A match against time was made by William Thompson, of the Royal Marines, to perform the extraordinary feat of walking from the Marine Bar racks at Chatham to the foot of London-bridge, a dis tance of 31 miles, and back, in 12 hours, and allowing another hour for refreshment. The betting against his performing the herculean task was considerable, as the soldier was to walk in guard order—that is, with his mus ket, accoutrements, knapsack, &c., and carrying in his pouch sixty rounds of ball cartridge. The marine left the barracks at 4 a.m. on Monday, fully equipped, arriving at London-bridge at 9 o'clock, and returnin to Chat ham at andsJme pur union, relieved at There remains little doubt that the fearful loss of life on board the Royal Adelaide steamer was occasioned by the bursting of the boilers, and the blowing up of the vessel.

M. GUIZOT UPON RELIGIOUS EDUCATION IN FRANCE The annual meeting of the Bible Society was held on Wednesday last in the church of the Redemption, rue Chauchat. M. Guizot, vice-president of the society, delivered a speech, of which the following is the princi. pal portion :—Your work is in perfect harmony with the paramount interests and with the most pressing wants of our society and of our day. What are these interests — what are these wants ? Listen to what is everywhere said :—Everywhere are heard the words of faith, hope, and charity. It is faith, charity, and hope which are wanting to society, and which it needs. Those are the wishes, the appeals, which arise from all parts. Every where the satisfaction of these wants is sought for. The aspirations towards faith are most frequently only the passionate anxieties of doubt, and doubt is again fallen into. Practical charity is general, active and efficacious. Never was more assistance given ; or more individual mis fortunes relieved; and yet the relations which should be established between those who relieve and those who are relieved only slightly exist. Practical charity ill attains its moral end ; neither one nor the other is mutually con fident and tranquil. Never did more hopes, or hopes more ardent, break out, but they are scarcely anything else than the flights of the imagination in delirium or the transports of material appetites. Our society seeks every where a solid faith, an efficacious charity, a hope which calms and fortifies. But it does not find them ; and that because it seeks them where they are not to be found. Men demand from themselves their belief and their vir tues ; they have the pretension to derive them from them selves, and themselves alone. But that cannot be. Men cannot be, in the great questions of their destiny, the inventors, the authors of faith, charity, and of their hopes. These wants are not satisfied at purely human sources. We must derive them from superhuman sour ces. These are the sources which you open to men by distributing to them the holy books. Therefrom they may derive faith, charity, and hope. Faith ! for therein God shows himself constantly present, and acting in the world and in man ; therein is the action of God ; Vierein is the necessary starting point of faith. Archimedes de manded, but found not, a fulcrum on which to move the world. Man cannot by himself alone find a base on which to fix it. He must receive it from God. Charity I the love of God for men is manifested in the gospel, and that alone is sufficient source of the love of men for men. Except therein, all charity is weak, and soon exhausted. Hope ! there is none which pacifies and satisfies the heart of men, if it does not extend beyond and rise above this earth. Eternal hopes can alone purify and ennoble the terrestrial hopes. Confined to the earth, our hopes trans form themselves into avidity and selfishness. Christianity alone, then, can pacify and satisfy the need of faith, charity and hope, which so powerfully agitate man and society. If any one doubt this, let him look at what the adversaries of Christianity do, let him listen to what they say. At the same time that they attack it with fury, they pass themselves off for its heirs and successors, and pre tend that they walk in the path it has opened. False hood and profanation ! What is most anti-Christian is the spirit of revolt and the spirit of license. When the spirit of Christianity appeared in the world there was a fine opportunity of propagating the spirit of insurrec tion. Than at that epoch, when was there ever more despotism, moral degradation of the upper classes, and oppression of man by man ? And yet you will not find a single trace of insurrection in the history of the founda tion of Christianity, nor the spirit of insurrection in its words. This immense revolution was accomplished by moral action alone—by the moral and interior reforma tion of men. That is, because Christianity is essentially submissive—submissive to God, submissive to established order. It has the spirit of liberty, and even of conscien tious resistance, hut no spirit of rebellion. It is also es sentially severe : license is as hateful to it as revolt. it is madness to attempt to extend liberty and democracy by means of the relaxation of religious belief and of morals. Sincere belief and sincere morals are indispensable to de mocracy and democratic liberty. The relaxation of opinions and of morals in a democratic society lesds in evitably—first to anarchy, then to despotism. See how the United States were founded. Do you think it was by the relaxation of morals? No : the founders of the American Republic were rigid for themselves and for others, and it was the spirit of rigidity which formed their strength and preserved them from the disorders and er rors inherent in democracy. Be assured that with the spirit of revolt nothing will ever be founded : as Christi anity has the secret of faith, charity, and hope, it is it, also, which has the true secrets of order and social rege neration in democractic societies more than in any other. Let the spirit of revolt and license not flatter itself, then, in being able to usurp the Christian work—there is abso lute incompatibility between them. At the same time that Christianity can alone satisfy the want of faith, charity, and hope, in any democratic society, it can alone gi y o it the spirit of order, resignation, and mere morality, When the hour was over, the mechanic insisted on a second hour, in consequence of the slowness of the work— it had not been a fair hour's labour. In vain the officer protested, was angry, and exhausted—had the heartburn— pains in his hack and limbs—and declared it would kill him. The mechanic was inexorable. "If it does kill have been if I had not stopped you." So the officer was compelled to continue his work with an inflamed face, and the perspiration pouring down over his cheeks and chin. At last he could proceed no longer, come what would of it, and sank back in the arms of his persecuting preserver. The mechanic now placed before him his own breakfast, composed of a twopenny loaf of brown bread, and a pint of stral beer, the who!e of which the officer disposed of in no time, and then sent out for more. Before the boy who was despatched on this errand re turned, a little conversation had ensued ; and, as the officer rose to go, he smilingly placed his purse, with his card, in the hands of the mechanic. The poor ragged man received them with all the composure of a physician, and with a sort of dry, grim humour, which appeared pe culiar to him, and the only relief of his otherwise rough and rigid character, made sombre by the constant sha dows and troubles of life. But the moment he read the name on the card, all the hard lines in his deeply-marked face underwent a sudden contortion. Thrusting back the purse into the officer's hand, lie seized him with a fierce grip by one arm—hur ried him, wondering, up the dark broken stairs, along the narrow passage—then pushed him out at the door ! " You are the fine gentleman who tempted my daughter away !" said he. " ! I —your daughter !" exclaimed the officer. " Yes, my daughter ; Ellen Brentwood !" said the me chanic. " Are there so many men's daughters in the list, that you forget her name ?" " I implore you," said the officer, " to take the purse. Pray take this purse ! If you will not accept it for your self, I entreat you to send it to her!" Go and buy a lathe with it," said the mechanic. Work, man, and repent•of your past life !" So saying, he closed the door in the officer's face, and descended the stairs to his daily labour. " At least one-fourth o f th e presen t peerage, f 1 says the Birmingham Mercury, " may be traced to the legal pro fession—the strongest and most serviceable body of Con servatives in the kingdom." To SEE IF ANYTHING IS IN A WELL.—When the sun shines bright take a lcoking-glass, hold it nearly per pendicular over the well, so that it will reflect on the water, and you may see a straw or pin, or any small object, at the bottom of any depth.—[Query—Can truth be dis covered by this means ? it is said to lie at the bottom of a well.] [FROM OUR SECOND EDITION OF TUESDAY LAST. FEARFUL SHIPWRECKSAi.I6 - 6THER DISAS TERS IN THE WEST INDIES. On the Bth of March, as the Royal-mail steamer Eagle, with the mails on board for Europe, was going out of Demerara, she ran foul of the schooner Tay, laden with sugar from Essequibo, and with a large number of pas sengers, The schooner was so seriously injured that she immediately went down, and in the rush to the boats six persons lost their lives ; amongst them were two of the family of Mr. Hendy, of Demerara, who were drowned before the eyes of their parents, and could not be saved. The American schooner, J. B. Lindsey, left port of Spain, Trinidad, on or about the Ist of February. While yet in sight of that place, at night, the mate and a pas senger were murdered and thrown overboard by the crew. The captain was severely wounded, but contrived to secure the cabin door against the murderers, and for days kept them at bay. After ransacking the vessel for money, then-iis creants took to the schooner's boat, and with an axe attempted to scuttle the vessel, but their design was de feated by the cook, who cut the boat's painter and set them adrift. The captain then crawled on deck, and by threatening to fire on the boat prevented the murderers from returning on board. The boat then made for the Spanish Main, and the captain contrived to reach St. Thomas in the schooner, where he was taken care of by the American consul, who has circulated handbills through out the West Indies, offering a reward of 200 dols. for the capture of the murderers. A tornado of terrific violence passed over the town and harbour of Nassau (Bahamas), about one o'clock, a.m., on the 30th March, bearing down everything in its course. About fifty houses were destroyed, many of them being actually smashed to atoms ; trees of immense size were torn up by the roots; several small vessels in the harbour were sunk and others dismasted. A large schooner, on the stocks, was blown over and damaged. Eight persons were killed and several badly wounded. The tornado lasted not more than one minute. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT-SATURDAY, SHARPE v. TAYLOR.—This case came before the court upon exceptions to the Master's report, whereby he had found the value of a certain ship called the Victoria, to have been, in May, 1840. £7485. The exceptants in sisted that her value was not more than £l5OO or £l6OO. It appeared she had been built in America, and having been wrecked off Liverpool, was bought by the plaintiff and the defendant, who have repaired her, and employed here in the American trade. The object of the bill was to obtain an account of the profits of the adventure, and of the amount realised by her sale. The arguments have occupied the greater part of the day, and are not yet con cluded. EXPECTED ACCOUCHEMENT OF THE QUEEN.—At a late hour last night the several members of the cabinet, the Lord Chancellor, the Archbishop of Canterbury, and the principal members of the Queen's household were sud denly placed on the qui rive by an intimation proceeding from the palace that symptoms had developed themselves of the approaching and early accouchment of her Ma jesty. At the late hour of half-past one this morning, there was nothing beyond this intimation to denote that there would be any immediate increase to the Royal Fa mily. All we can state to relieve the public mind is, that shortly after dinner the Queen expressed herself rather unwell, and that symptoms presented themselves which leave little doubt that within 24 hours that event will occur in which the nation feels so deep an inter( at. — Herald of yesterday. being a difference of £129,43-1.

A rat which measured 20 inches in extreme length, and weighed lib. 20z., was taken a few days since, on the pre- ole, be. mring, his captors found half a peck of potatoes, besides a large:quantity of beans and grain. The Birmingham Journal mentions that, on Thursday week, a little boy, three years old, the son of Mr. Dawes, of Smethwick House, who was playing on the lawn of his father's residence, endeavoured to climb an iron hurdle, which fell upon him in such a manner that one of the crossbars compressed his windpipe, and thus killed him. The Ermina, schooner, Royal Yacht Club, sailed from Portsmouth on Wednesday morning, with her noble owner, the Earl of Ellesmere, and a party of five gentle men, who accompany his lordship on a voyage to the Mediterranean, whither he is gone for the benefit of his health. raises 0 armouth . The Newcastle Journal records the piscatory exploits of a young lady, who has recently been almost daily occu pied in fly fishing in Coquet between Hepple and Roth bury, and who .has been so successful as to be able re peatedly to show a basket containing nearly five dozen trout. The Derby Reporter says, that, a short time since, a nailor, living at Belper, returned home in an intoxicated state, and placed:his legs on each side the fire place. The fire roasted the flesh off the hone, and he was not aware of his condition till aroused next morning by the inmates of his house. A young lady, of Inverleithen, after suffering great pain in her head, had a bent pin extracted from her ear the week before last. She died shortly afterwards, in great suffering, from the inflammation which had taken place within the ear. She swallowed a pin twenty years ago, and the one extracted is believed to be the same. An oak tree forty feet high, with three tons of soil on its roots, has been transplanted at Graisley, near Wolver hampton. The tree was mounted on a timber carriage, and, with its branches lashed to prevent damage to win dows, passed through the streets, a singular but beautiful sight. It has become a custom in London for little urchins, professing to sell oranges, to hold up their baskets as high as they can before respectable females, with an ap parent desire to induce them to purchase, and to press heavily against them, and, whilst doing so, to pick their pockets. SCARBRO'.—A splendid silver cup will be given by the Right Hon. Lord Londesborough, to be contested for at the ensuing races by horses, the property of his:lordship's tenantry, having never been in a training stable, and for six months in the possession of any farmer holding land under his lordship up to the day of the race. The weekly average price of wheat for the whole coun try has fallen to £1 17s. 10d. per quarter. In the north ern district the range is much lower, with no prospect of improvement. Barley stands at £1 2s. Bd. and oats at 15s. 3d. Fat prices these for thrifty, industrious farmers, under a system of taxation " too great to be borne." The importations of grain at all our ports continue large. On Monday two gipsies known in the varied tribes as Bill Ibbeson and Grace Leeds were married at St. Mary's Church, Barnsley. After leaving the church the wedding party adjourned to the Station Inn, where they were met by thirty others, and there partook of an excellent dinner, after which they spent the remainder of the day in a jovial manner. " A clergyman in the West of England" is advertising in the London papers a caution against receiving five several promissory notes for £l,OOO each, and dated the 13th March last, and which have been obtained by a per son using the name of Gardiner, without any value or consideration whatever. It is strange that, after so many warnings, people can be taken in. SHOOTING PIKE.— On Thursday week, a pike weighing 141 b. was shot by Mr. Stewart of Forfar ; on Saturday, another, weighing 221, and on Monday another, weigh in.' about 221 b. When a pike shows its t a il a b ove th e water, r Mr. Stewart instantly fires one of the barrels of his gun. The fish, on being struck, leaps almost entirely out of the water, and while in this posi tion receives the contents of the other barrel. IRON FROM CHINA.—TWO importations of iron have just taken place from China. The vessel, Robert Small, arrived in London from Canton, has brought 5,170 par cels of pig iron ; and the Charlotte Too:ie, from Canton, has brought five tons weight of the article. It is said that the iron was originally shipped from Wales to China, and that it is a mere re-shipment to this country. ANOTHER TENOR.—A fourth Mr. Braham, brother to Mr. Charles and Mr. Hamilton Braham, will shortly be heard in public as a singer, possessing (adds rumo u r ) an admirable tenor voice. The want of singers, as distin guished from voices, was never greater than now,—mean while any son of Mr. Braham's father must be cordially welcomed ; and comes before us armed at once with an advantage and with a motive for thorough preparation.— Athen ceum. On Monday, a " happy couple" were making their way to Deptford Church, Bishopwearmouth, when the bride. groom was blanked by the apparition of the bride's brother at the porch. Warm words were first exchanged, and then half-bricks; and the brother, being the better man, ran off with his sister and locked her up. She, however, made her exit at the window ; flew into the arms of her beloved ; and the next day they twain be came one flesh at Houghton-le-Spring. SINGULAR CONDUCT OF A GlRL.—About ten years ago, a little girl, who lived with her father and mother in the immediate vicinity of Perth, was sent into the city upon a morning with a milk pail, to serve some customers. She did not return. Search was made for her, but she was no where to be found. On Thursday evening week, the long-lost called upon a cousin in the city to learn tidings of her parents. Her mother recognised her and swooned away. Strange to say, in all the ten yeras the wander(r was no farther than Dundee and Blairgowrie. A childish indiscretion prompted her to run away ; having a few half-pence of :milk-money in her pocket, she was tempted to purchase some sweetmeats, and after eating of this forbidden fruit, could not make up her mind to face her father and mother. She had been engaged for these ten years principally in the factories of Dundee and Blair gowrie ; and has returned from the land of work, a good looking and a good young woman. circus, wearing a crimson skin dress. He placed his great coat at the bottom of the basket, then got in himself, taking with him a bottle of brandy and a few oranges. The basket was closed, and in this state was Mr. Baker conveyed to Bradford, and deposited at the Bermondsey Hotel. Here he remained for a considerable time, when he was re-conveyed to the railway station. and despatched to Leeds, where he arrived a little before half-past six, thus winning his singular wager. He was brought from the railway on a coach, and, in the presence of a great crowd, was liberated from his confinement in front of the circus. MURDER AT OTLEY.—George Towleson, Robert Far rar, Nathaniel Sell°ley, and William Jacques have been committed to York Castle, for the murder of John Daw son. The prisoners are navvies, and have been employed with others in making a reservoir. Having partaken largely of drink, on Saturday, they left the Red Lion, Otley, at twelve o'clock, and immediately began to smash the windows of the houses in the street, and to behave otherwise in a riotous and disorderly manner. They struck several persons who were attracted by their noise, and at length attacked Robert Dawson, whom they vio lently abused. John Dawson, his brother, who went to his assistance, was stabbed in the thigh by one of the men, and almost immediately bled to death. The fellows then ran about like madmen, threatening to stab all who ap peared. Six or seven persons, male and female, were stabbed and cut by them, one or two dangerously. They made off on the road to Bradford, and were overtaken by the constables, who, in capturing them, received several wounds from the knives which they used in resistance.— A verdict of wilful murder was returned, on Monday, against all five prisoners. EXTRAORDINARY CASE.—An interesting young woman came before the magistrates at Brighton, yesterday week, to affiliate a child upon Charles Theobald, a servant in livery, not more than seventeen years of age. A letter was read from the young villain as follows Hope place, Oct. 17. ' Absence makes the heart grow fonder.' (Laughter.) Dear Mary—dearest Mary,—l hope I shall hear better news from you when you write. I received your third letter last Saturday, and am sorry to find you in such a bad state. Generally people don't feel so faint when they are so far gone as you are.—(Laughter.) ff, Dear Mary, I hope you wont forget to tell the nurse not to bring the child into the world—(great sensation in the court)—for you know what a burden it will be to us. We shall never be able to enjoy ourselves, for every shil ling we have to spare must go for the child."—The magis trate told him to be upon his guard, for they should have an eye upon him, and if lie offered anything like evil to the poor girl or her offspring, he would suffer for it. The defendant was then bound over to keep the peace, and an order was made upon him for 2s. 6d. a week for the sup port of the child. A CLEVER IMPOSTOR.—On Friday last an Irishwoman was brought before the magistrates at the Mansion House, charged with raising money by fictitious representations of distress. In the course of the hearing, a magistrate of the county of Essex, Mr. Fry, gave the following curious account of the prisoner's past history :—" The prisoner is well known to me and my brother magistrates. Of all the impostors 1 have ever seen, she is certainly be yond all comparison the most accomplished. Several families, and particularly the ladies, who are most likely to be imposed upon, have been her victims for the last six or seven years. She has one son in a London prison, and another son confined for felony elsewhere, and she is no doubt bringing up her family to the practices by which she has been supporting herself. I shall give one instance of her tact and skill as a professional :—She called upon a lady at Stratford of the name of Soames, and pathetically represented that she had a child lying dead, and that she was without the means of laying it in the ground. She sought assistance to defray the funeral charges, and the lady expressed her willingness to give the aid required, but said that before she would render it she must ascertain the truth of the statement. The prisoner thereupon conducted her home and pointed to the bed, on which there appeared to be a corpse with a sheet over it. That evidence was quite satisfactory, and the lady contributed half a sovereign to the charitable purpose and retired. Upon leaving the house, however, it occurred to her that she might have been imposed up on, and she listened for a short time under the window. She was not long in that situation when she heard a voice cry out in a querulous tone, " Mother, how long am I to remain dead ?" (Great laughter.) PREMATURE BALDNESS.—Mr. J. Sergeant, bookseller, of Linton, Cambridge, has made public a curious case of a young man, named Haylock, of Ashdon, whose hair came off entire from some very unaccountable cause, and left him in a state of premature baldness. He purchased from Mr. Sergeant several popular preparations, which he applied, but without any effect whatever. At last, how ever, he made trial of the Macassar Oil of Messrs. Row lands, of London, and exhibited to the most incredulous the proof of its efficacy in a thick crop of hair. Mr. Sergeant permits a direct reference to him on this very interesting fact.—The Observer. FINE FLOWING RINGLETS.—The care of the hair in infants and young children is, by experienced mothers and nurses, too little regarded. No mistake can be more injurious than the supposition that neglect in this par ticular can continue with impunity. The seeds of strength or weakness are laid in the nursery; and the majority of the fine flowing ringlets or bald heads, of after years, are traceable to this early period.—OLD RIDGE'S BALM OF COLUMBIA, long celebrated for its genial and invigorating qualities, in promoting and re storing the growth of the hair, is peculiarly fitted (applied according to the printed directions) for application during the tender years of infancy and childhood ; and no nur rich, and beautiful sery where personal advantages are held in any estima tion should be without it. For embellishing the hai r th e abpalpnelaraisneper, with e-eminaengte.ntleAwastniveo,otohr glossy ringl e t s , f u ll, , luxuriant, and graceful, being the admirable results of its use. For cleansing the hair the balm is most valu able, as it effects this essential object without drying up the natural moisture and thus preventing decorative arrangement—a fault so much complained of by those who use ordinary detergent mixtures, and immediately removes the scurf. Price 3s. 6d., 65., and lls. per bottle ; no other prices are genuine. Ask for OLDRIDGE'S BALM, 13, Wellington-street North, Strand, London.

'el property by the Catholics of a convent in which she once resided. At the conclusion of the evidence Miss Wake man was introduced to the court. Her countenance was pleasing, with considerable vivacity in her manners. Her answers to the questions of the learned commissioner were to the following effect :—I do not consider my father is dead, though I am aware that my mother is not living. Upon her death the Duke of Wellington, my father, married again, and I am his only child, born in India. The Catholics got possession of my property during the time of Edward the Black Prince. The Bla k Prince was an Hungarian, and settled in China. Some papers were here handed in, which Miss Wakeman had been perusing ; they were very neatly written, and purported to be the pedigree of the royal families of England, showing that she was descended from King Caractacus, through him to Edward 11., and that Arabella Stuart having married one of the Wakemans of Worcestershire, she had therefore the royal blood in her veins. In this pedigree was traced a supposed connexion with the Plan tagenets, Tudors, Stuarts, &c., and with the chief fami lies of kingdom. She was proved to have been of unsound mind since February last EMIGRATION UNDER DIFFICULTIES.—An interesting story is told in the Glasgow Saturday Post of the adven tures of a young lady, Miss Mary Brown. She was the daughter of a gentleman lately dead, and inherited a small property from him, on which she lived. Her only near relative in Glasgow was a " ne'er-do-weel " brother, a cab-driver, who, having himself been disinherited, constantly teazed her and extorted money from her. Having friends in America, she determined to emigrate, and took her passage by the City of Glasgow steamer, which left on Tuesday. her brother, disappointed and vexed at her intended departure, formed a scheme to detain her. A trumpery claim was reared up, and a meditationefugw warrant applied for. This he swore to, and got the warrant. Armed with this authority, and attended by two sheriff's officers, he watched the sailing of the vessel. Miss Brown, with her friends, was on board; they remained with her till the signal for sailing was given, and, bidding her farewell, they went on shore, and walked down the quay. Now was the cab-driver's opportunity. Seeing his sister deserted by her friends, and no help at hand, he sneaked on board the vessel, and caused the lady to be apprehended in the presence of the passengers, the ship's crew, and the immense multitude of on-lookers. In vain did she remonstrate against such shameful conduct—violence was resorted to, and she was dragged on shore, and, refusing to listen to their proposals for letting her off, she was carried before Sheriff Bell. The sheriff, after hearing the case, detected the trick, and dismissed the case. She left the Sheriff's-office, and met her friends : she was now freed from her tormentors. A new dilemma now arose. The vessel had sailed—Miss Brown's passage was paid, and all her luggage on board. To overtake the vessel seemed hopeless, but still she was resolved to make the attempt. Hiring a cab, she drove to the Greenock Railway station, and, finding a train on the point of starting, was speedily conveyed to Greenock. Fresh misfortune seemed to arise—the City of Glasgow steamer had passed Greenock nearly half an hour before the arrival of the train, and was seen slowly steaming past Gourock. A Gourock steamer was leaving the quay, and Miss Brown went on board of it. The Gourock steamer was rapidly overhauling the huge City of Glasgow, when all on a sudden the latter was seen to "bout ship," and steam towards Greenock. The cause of this sudden change arose from an accident which hap pened to the oil cistern on board. A steam-tug was despatched to Greenock for a fresh supply of oil, and hence the delay which proved so fortunate for the perse cuted orphan. Taking a small boat Miss Brown was rowed towards the vessel, and received on board amid the cheers of the passengers. A new matter of consternation, now arose; the captain, thinking she would not get away, had landed all her luggage at Greenock, and there was no hope of getting it. Further vexation was put an end to by the return of the tug carrying the oil, with all Miss Brown's luggage on board. Certain friends at Greenock had seen her luggage on the quay, and forwarded it with the tug. Thus were all further impediments happily got over. RAILIVAY AFFAIRS, THE COUNTY DOWN RAILWAY.—On Tuesday the engineer and directors of this railway made an experi mental trip from Belfast to Newtownards. RAILWAY ACCIDENTS.—The total iitinlber of persons killed on all railways open for public traffic in the half year ending December, 31, 1849, was 106. Of t h ese 7 3 were killed owing to their own misconduct or want of cau tion, 11 being passengers and 62 servants of the company; 28 were trespassers, killed by improperly crossing or standing on the railway; 1 was a child killed by an engine running off the rails and entering a house, and 2 were suicides. Of fatal accidents arising from causes beyond the control of the victins, only two have occurred, and those are among the servants of companies or of con tractors. At the Great Western meeting on Thursday, held in London, the chairman's resolutions respecting the financial scheme, with addition of an amendment, that the Great Western share folders should have the option of taking the shares, wer e unan i mous l y a d opte d. Aft er some dis cussion, the Chairman said he had every reason to hope and believe that the shares would be taken, and the stock must be created at once. It was agreed that the discus sion of the report should be adjourned till the 16th of May for a special meeting.—Mr. Norris, a member of the committee, appointed to investigate the audit question, made a report on the subject : he advised the meeting to resist the Government interference. LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.—The traffic for the week ending the 21st April was £3,249 in excess of that for the corresponding period of 1849. This excess is exclusive of the traffic of the Huddersfield Canal, Shropshire Union, North Union, Preston and Wyre, South Junction and Manchester, and Buxton Railways. The amount due to the North Staffordshire Company, under the contract with them, is deducted in the weekly return in which the above large increase of traffic is shown. The aggregate receipts since the com mencement of the present year have amounted to £639,076, while the amount received for the correspond ing period of last year was £601,728; the increase has, therefore, been £3`t,,34B—viz., £2,332 per week, or at the rate or upward' of 4120,000 per annum. lilt t of tr 4/ .li 1, N„ e n: 7 ti o , t :Pt bon! char t i n i
