Who ever said so If the " unsound" were such rare specimens amongst the mass as to be like the black swans of the poet, how could they be the mass itself There is a disingenuousness—a wilful perversion of language—in this passage (and the same spirit, by the bye, pervades the whole of :the thirty-six la boured pages of his pamphlet) which quite puts an estoppel upon our lselief in the candour and sincerity of the writer. The " suggestio falsi" in argument is much too palpable to allow us to imagine that even the development of truth is the writer's object. We have bestowed, however, already far more notice upon Mr. Vevers than his production deserves. Putting beside us the consideration that much of the small quantum of argu ment which it contains is directed against a position which no longer requires to be assailed—the position that Wesleyan' should be called upon to lay aside any portion of their educa tional zeal—the animus is too evidently anti-Church, rather than one of Christian and educational zeal, that it cannot, with any charity, be considered as the voice of that body to which Mr. Nl`Neile's appeal was addressed. No large con sideration for the good of the community breathes in the pages of the pamphlet before us, the writer evidently con tenting himself with a flippant performance of the unchristian task of directing sectarian enmity against a Church which, as a disciple of John Wesley, he ought rather to love and re spect than to malign and scoff at ; and the affecting and so l em n questions have, therefore, still to be answered by Wesleyans — " Are you amongst those who seek their own things, without any brotherly consideration for the things of others ," Are you resolved to impede the passing of a mea. sure which proposes to do all the good for a part of 'thief you have so zealously laboured ? We trust that these ques , tiona will be answered in a more worthy spirit than tha which characterizes the pamphlet before us. VARIETIES.

We marched, b e i n g necessitated to leave all the servants that could not wa lk, the Sirdar promising th a t t h ey s h ou ld b e f e d . I t wou ld be impossible for me to describe the feelings with which we pursued our way through the dreadful scenes that awaited us. The road covered with awfully mangled bodies, all naked ; 58 Europeans wete counted in the Tunghee and dip of the Nul led] ; the natives innumerable. Numbers of camp followers, still alive, frost-bitten, and starving; some perfectly out of their senses and idiotic. Major Ewart, 54th, and Major Scott, 44th, were recognised as we passed them, with some others. The sight was dreadful; the smell of the blood sickening : and the corpses lay so thick it was impossible to l o ok from them, as it required care to guide my horse so as not to tread upon the bodies ; but it is unnecessary to dwell on such a distressing and revolting subject.—Lady Sale's Journal. THE BATTLY OF THE BLOCKS.—The subject of greatest metropolitan interest which has occurred for many years is the introduction of wood paving. As the main battle has been fought in London, and nothing but a confused report of the great object in dispute may have penetrated beyond the sound of Bow-bells, we think it will not be amiss to put on record, in the imperishable brass and marble of our pages, an account of the mighty struggle of the doughty champions who couched the lance and drew the sword in the opposing ranks; and, finally, to what side victory seems to incline on this beautiful Ist of May, in the year 1843. Come, then, to our aid, oye heavenly muses who enabled Homer to sing in such persuasive words the fates of Troy and its wooden horse ; for surely a subject which is so deeply connected both with wood and horses is not beneath your notice. * * * The first pavier, we fear, is unknown, unless we could iden tify him with Triptolemus, who was a great improver of Rhodes. * * A mere smoothing of the inequalities of the surface over which the oxen had to be driven, that brought the grain home on the enormous plaustra of the husbandman, was the first idea of a street, whose very name is derived from stratum, levelled.—Blackwood': Magazine for May. PROPERTIES OF BUTTERMlLK.—Buttermilk is generally prepared by churning sour cream ; but is also procured from milk that has become acid. When procured from the first, it is more rich, nutritious, and agreeable, than when made from the second. The acid which it contains is the lactic or acid of milk. Buttermilk is a very good alimentary liquid for a healthy person, although not so nutritious as sweetmilk ; and is much used by the peasantry of Scotland and Ireland. O❑ account of its acid properties, it is not well adapted for those who have delicate digestive organs ; as it is liable to occasion flatulency, acescency, and sometimes diarrhoea. As a drink or diluent, for which purpose it is very frequently employed, the most healthy and robust should only use it ; and even fur them, if not previously done by the maker, it may advantageously be diluted with water. It has been re commended in fevers and other febrile diseases, on account of its cooling properties, but it is not well adapted for their treatment, as it often deranges, to a greater or less extent, the functions of the stomach and bowels. It may, however, be used as a safe and pleasant drink under ordinary circum stances, if modified by a mixture with an equal portion of boiling water. The boiling water coagulates the caseum or curd, which falls to the bottom, while the diluted whey swims above and may be decanted. A little oatmeal, beat up with the milk before the addition of the water, improves the flavour of this diluent. WANTED A GOVERNESS.—Perhaps in the annals of ad vertising and governess-wanting, the following from the Times of last week has never been surpassed :—" Wanted, a Governess, in the family of a surgeon, in a retired village, 4O) miles north-west of London. It is desired that during her youth and the greater part of her education she associated with respectable society, and in or near the metropolis ; that *be be by experience versed In the books and routine of some good school ; that she possess a good knowledge of the rudi ments of French, drawing, dancing, and practically of piano music and singing ; and especially, she must be of active and strong health, and of cheerful, but patient, studious, and taciturn disposition. At the commencement of her tuition she must be intimately acquainted with the prior three and a half parts of Nlurray's Abridged Grammar, ready in the first rules of arithmetic, and have as thorough a knowledge of the several usually taught sciences as every well-educated intel lectual boy of twelve ought to possess of any one of them. She must be able to teach writing, and (advertising vaguely) to communicate the elements of a sound ample English edu cation. The pupils are two boys of seven and six, and two girls of four anti three. The education of them is conducted by their parents, and it is an indispensable condition that their governess be able, by precept and example, to inculcate a rigid observance of time and order, and also that she her self shall (with assistance, but without deprivation to her pupils) day by day, and assiduously, endeavour to acquire and maintain, in any branch of education she is directed to teach,a proficiency so far forerunning and exceeding that of h e rppils as will enable her to instruct them in it thoroughly.

By George Clarisse Dobson, Assoc. Inst. C.E.—Ths drawbridge spans one of five open ings in a stone bridge built across a navigable branch of Sal combe Harbour, it is iu one leaf, fifteen feet nine inches w ide, and thirty-two long, from out to out, supported upon a cast-iron shaft or axle, placed seven feet six inches from the end, working in the abutment pier, which is built hollow to receive it, and thus the part within the axle end acts as a counter weight. To the centre of the end cross-beam of the counter part, a chain is attached, and after passing over cast iron sheaves in the masonry of the face of the abutment, is coiled on a drum fixed on a horizontal shaft, carrying on one en d a pinion, worked by a rack attached to the piston of the hydraulic press : by this means, motion is given to the shaft and drum, and consequently to the leaf of the bridge. Ba lance boxes are hung to the counter-end, by which the shut ting is regulated. The struts for supporting the leaf, when raised, are also thrown in and out of their places by a rack and pinion. The hydraulic press used for opening and closing the bridge is simple in its constrution, and the whole works so easily that a female can open and close the bridge n about fifteen minutes without difficulty. The fresh water used for the pump is contained in a cistern beneath, and seldom wants replenishing, as it is returned in the reservoir every time after being used. The bridge was designed and and erected by Mr. J. M. Bendel, about twelve oears since, w h en be was engaged in improving the turnpike road in the south of Devon. The expense of repairing, oiling, packing, &c., since its erection, has averaged under C. per annum, including a small salary to a neighbouring millwright for oc casional inspection. The communication is acco m p a ni e d by a d r awing showing a plan and sectional ele va tion o f th e bridge and machinery. pOTECTION TO AGRICULTURE.—PoIiticians and philoso pher, m ay talk coldly of the transfer of old family estates— of throwing immense tracts of the inferior soil out of cultiva tion—of burying for ever the immense capital expended on it —and of the transfusion of an agricultural into a manufac turing population; but let the m remem b er th e ti es w hi c h must be broken, the villages which must. be deserted, the gardens to be laid desolate, the second nature of habits which must be altered, the hearts which must sink, and the hands which may rebel under trials such as these." . . " But the ancient landlord's position is still more hopeless; in ad dition to the public burdens, he is required to meet, with a reduced rental, an increased charge ; ruin must be his fate ; his tenants and his labourers will sink with him; the former from. the weight of their fixed engagements, the latter from want of employment and a fall of wages greater than the re duction of taxation. In such a state of affairs we must come to a tenantry without capital or leases, and to a population eking out existence by potatoes." . . . "The clergy and the landowners, the poor and the proprietors are coyarceners in the soil ; they must stand or fall together on their existing tenure ; they may fall indeed, but religion and mercy, and justice will fall with them—' and they who are buried in these ruins are happier than they who survive them ;' " . . . " Let not the landowners lose this great advantage—let them rivet the gratitude of the community to their cause ; let them exert all their power, and insist on the revision of Mr. Peel's act of 1819, an act no less fatal to the landowner than to the payer of taxes, en act which from its first introduction goaded the people to insurrection." . . . " Here the landowners may with safety make their stand, the position is impregnable ; the payers of taxes—the productive classes—are ready to de fend it : substantial duty is on our side, and who are they that arc against us? The annuitants, the fundholders, and the economists !—a body which the landowners, if true to themselves, and in concert with the people, cannot fail to de feat." . . . " This is the present fate of the landowners of this country; they are striving in vain against engagements which they cannot meet. Creditors in general receive an undue proportion of earning, and a sure but destructive revo lution is in progress, by which, if it be not arrested, the an cient aristocracy of these realms must ultimately be sacrificed to creditors and annuitants." . . • "He may sell his estate, indeed ; this would be considered ()Ily as a transfer of property. But what agony of mind does that word con vey? The snapping of a chain, linked, perhaps, by centuries? the destruction of the dearest local attachments, the dissolu tion of the earliest friendships, the violation of the purest feelings of the heart !" . . . " What, then, is the alter native which presents itself? Either he must drag out a de graded existence on his paternal estate, exercising no more the hospitality of his ancestors, but gleaning from his tenantry their earnings or their savings, himself the hated steward of the annuitant and the mortgagee, or, unlike the country gen• t l ec nan of England In a happier day, he mustleave hi s native " mei btompe d tatideter fibvti k pr a jribbtri a ahat'edenters A . olloool'lll Ng MO tkoptiiii i N otoyi 60 40 THE CHURCH OF SCOTLAND. We gave in our last the proceedings of the General As sembly, and those of the " Free Presbyterian Church in Scotland" up to Friday night, and we now give a brief re port of what has since taken place at the meetings of each day. THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY On Saturday the report of the committee appointed to ex amine disputed commissions was brought up and approved — every commission being rejected that had been granted by a presbytery in which the ministers of quoad sacra parishes retained their seats after the judgment of the Court of Ses sion in the Stewarton case was pronounced. It was agreed that the discussion on the validity of the commission of the Strathbogie Presbytery, should be deferred until after the consideration of the overtures for the repeal of the veto.— An answer to the letter from her Majesty the Queen was agreed to. On Monday, the ill-starred Veto Act—the fatal source whence such a tide of evil has overflowed the establishment —was unanimously repealed, by a motion that, inasmuch, as it is an encroachment on civil and patrimonial rights, be yond the jurisdiction of the church, the General Assembly instruct all presbyteries to proceed in the settlement of parishes without any regard to its provisions, but with special respect to the undoubted right of the parishioners to state any relevant objections against the induction of presentees— the presbytery deciding on these objections, subject to appeal to the superior church courts. After considerable discussion, on a division of 148 to 33, a resolution, moved by Dr. Mearns, and seconded by the Earl of Seafield, was carried, to the effect that the sentences of suspension and deposition, pro nounced in 1840 and 1841 against the ministers of Strath bogie, having proceeded on incompetent grounds, and beir.g passed by the General Assembly in excess of its jurisdiction, were from the beginning null and void, and that the General Assembly now declare these ministers to be in possession of all their ministerial rights as fully as if no such sentences had ever passed against them. On Tuesday a most gratifying scene took place on the reading of the report of Dr. Brunton, convener, of the com mittee for the India Mission. The feeling in behalf of this and the other great Christianizing schemes of the Church was warmly elicited, and showed the ardent desire of the members to carry out this noble work with increased energy. It was afterwards resolved to rescind the acts 1833, '34, and '39, empowering parliamentary and quoad sacra ministers to sit in the Church Courts. Considerable discussion took place on this subject, which, amidst the variety of opinions expressed, only chewed snore strongly the desire of the As sembly to remove this, along with other, obstacles which have arisen from disregarding the law. THE SECESSION CHURCH On Friday, the Assembly of the new Secession received a deputation from the Supreme Ecclesiastical Court of the Presbyterians in the north of Ireland.—On Saturday, it re ceived reports from the building section, the statistical sec tion, and the financial section of the provisional committee for organizing the future ecclesiastical polity of the seceding body.—On Monday, it was agreed to appoint a commission to take such steps as should be deemed proper for celebrating, in July next, the two hundredth anniversary of the first meet ing of the Westminster Assembly of Divines.—A report on the five missions of the body was approved of.—A resolution, that the members of the seceding Assembly do now declare themselves, and all who adhere to them, to be separate from the establishment, and to be no longer subject to the eccle siastical judicatories presently established by law in Scotland, was unanimously adopted ; and a committee was appointed to prepare an act and deed, to be subscribed as speedily as possible, giving up all the status, rights, and privileges held by the subscribers in virtue of their being ministers of the Establishment. The Glasgow Mail says that the number of ministers who have actually signed the protest is 426, whilst the Edinburgh Standard, a powerful opponent of the seceders, estimates the number at upwards of 450 including 150 quoad sacra ministers. professors in Universities, &c. The funds sub scribed for the endowment of the new secession, is stated to amount to £225,000 a large sum certainly but manifestly inadequate to provide for the permanent support of so large a body of clergymen. They must ultimately be thrown on the uncertain supply of popular contribution; and whatever their intentions may be, they must labour under the disad vantages which they still maintain to attach to the voluntary system. The following appeared in a second edition of yesterday's Herald:— EDINBURGH, Saturday Morning. The assembly having met at twelve o'clock on Friday, the sederunt was constituted with prayer by the Moderator, who, in an eloquent and impressive manner, alluded to the separation which had taken place on the previous day—a separation which they all regretted. He expressed a hope that what had occurred would cause no interruption in the religious instruction of the people throughout the conntry ; that Christian charity would still obtain ; and that there would be no departure from the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. He also prayed that a spirit of meekness, forbearance, and Christian love might actuate them towards those who had withdrawn from the assembly. On the motion of Lord Belhaven, a committee was ap pointectito draw up an answer to her Majesty's most gracious speech. The committee named were—the Moderator, the Procurator, Principal Lee, Drs. Cook and Hill, and the mover. On the motion of Principal Haldane, a committee was named to draw up an address of congratulation to her Ma jesty on the birth of a princess. Professor Alexander, St. Andrew's, after referring to the present difficulties of the church, suggested the appointment of a committee to prepare a pastoral letter to the people of Scotland, warning them to stand fast in the old path, and to strengthen, by their zeal and steadfastness, the beloved church of their fathers, which had long been, and still was, the greatest bulwark of the reformed religion. After pro nouncing a eulogy on the talents and acquirements of Prin cipal Lite, Professor Alexander proposed that the principal should be made convener of the committee. It was agreed by the house that tha subject should come up to them in the regular way—namely, through the com mittee on overtures. A committee for arranging the business of the assembly having been appointed. The Moderator reminded the house that the custom was to devote a portion of that sederunt to devotional exercise, and proposed that the clerk should give out a portion of a psalm, and read a portion of Scripture, to be followed by prayer. _ Principal Lee read a portion of the 85th Psalm, beginning at the 6th verse, which was sung by the assembly ; and after wards he read the 17th chapter of John. Mr. Nicul, of Leslie, then offered up a prayer. The assembly, after prayer by Mr. Stuart, of Sorn, ad journed about three o'clock till twelve this day (Saturday). CONVOCATION ASSEMBLY The assembly met at eleven o'clock—the proceedings being opened with Divine service. A deputation from the Presbyterian Church of Ireland came forward to the bar, with an address expressive of their sympathy and concurrence of that church with the proceed ings of those who now constituted the Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland. Several of the members of the popu lation addressed the assembly, warmly approving the course they had taken in vindicating their principles. Dr. Chalmers, in the name of the assembly, thanked the Presbyterian Church of Ireland for their friendly sympathy and regard as evinced by this address, and by the sentiments of the deputation. lie considered the Irish Presbyterian Church a model of what a free church ought to be in connec tion with the State, for while it received an endowment from the State, it was allowed perfect freedom and uncontrolled authority in all its ecclesiastical affairs. Dr. Cooke being loudly called for, stood up and delivered a commentary on the subject of the Queen's letter to the General Assembly. This document he thought very unin telligible, as it was quite impossible to understand from it what were the intentions of the government in regard to the questions which had caused the separation. He fully agreed with those who had seceded, though he deeply regretted the injury which the disruption would occasion to the Established Church of Scotland. After the appointment of several committees the assembly adjourned till the eveniNg. The assembly met again at seven o'clock, when the hall was quite crowded. THE FIRST SUNDAY. —On Siinday most of the city churches, especially those of the Non-intrusion party, were crowded extremely. In the evening Dr. Candlish preached in the great hall at Canonmills, Here the crowds who assembled were so numerous that not one-half of them could gat admission, in consequence of which Mr. Chalmers, of Dailly, and Mr. 0. J. Brown, of Edinburgh, preached in two separate parts of the park, to assemblages in the open air. In St. Andrew's Church (the General Assembly Hall), there was a prayer meeting in the evening, at which his Grace the Lord High Commissioner and suite attended. The church was also crowded to excess, hundreds being unable to gai❑ admission. The Moderator, Dr. Muir, Dr. Ralph, and Mr. Proudfoot officiated. A somewhat remarkable incident took place at the beginning of the service. When a psalm was given out, his grace stood up to the worship, which example was immediately followed by the multitude assembled, and the same solemn course was properly observed throughout the evening. —Caledonian Mercury. A MARKETABLI INJURY.—The Gazette des Tribunaux states that great sensation has been created in the quarter of the Marais by the following circumstance :—On the Bth inst. the Commissary of Police was called upon to visit the apart ments of a M. T----, for the purpose of detecting his wife in adultery with his landlord, named B—. This was done ; but M. B— was left at liberty at the desire of the com plainant, who soon afterwards visited him, and said he was willing to abandon his intention of prosecuting if he would pay him a sum of 20,000 f. This was refused ; and T— then reduced his demand successively to fi,ooof., which was also refused, B— declaring that be would abide the judg ment of a tribunal. T— frequently repeated his demand, and three days ago again visited B— to renew the pro position. Meeting again with a refusal, he took from his pocket two pistols, and presenting them at -the breast of Ll—, threatened to shoot him if he did not comply with his demand. The wife and daughter of B—, who were in an adjoining room, rushed in, and disarmed the intruder ; and yesterday a charge of attempt at extortion, with menaces, was made against T—, who was arrested. IMPROVEMICNT OF WATERMR7I.—It was our painful office last week to call the attention of our readers to some very gross acts of cruelty exercised by men belonging to this class towards the poor beasts used in dragging their vessels. But it is gratifying to find that although there are so many water men hardened in vice and wickedness, there are others of a different character. At the anniversary of the Sabbath So ciety in London last week, there were many pleasing in stances brought forward, proving that where cessation from Sunday traffic had been obtained, and religious instruction provided for these men, much good had resulted, and a bene ficial change had been, through the Divine blessing, pro duced in characters once abandoned and profligate. The following is an extract from the report read at the annual meeting of the Naval and Military Bible Society, held on the 9th instant :—" A novel and important feature in the past year's operations was the employment of a special temporary agent for nine months, to place the word of God in the hands of boatmen engaged in the inland navigation of our rivers and canals. The result of his labours in this interesting sphere was the distribution of 2,353 copies of the Holy Scrip tures, of which 257 were sold, the remainder having been placed in boats as part of their stores. Much gratitude was expressed by many of these poor fellows on finding they were thus thought of and cared for by the Society; and there is reason to hope that those who have been hitherto so igno rant and dissipated, may, by these means, be elevated in their moral and religious habits. k Agents at Northwich, Uxbridge, Dudley, and Etruria (in Staffordshire,) had also distributed to canal boatmen 521 copies ; and 120 copies had been furnished to the Inland Navigation Society, making a total distribution to canal boatmen of 2,994 copies." We understand that these grants were made smong nearly 30 1 navigations, and many in consequence of express applications from benevolent individuals, kindly interesting themselves in behalf of this lone -neglected class of their countrymen, con nected with their vicinity. We trust that increasing attention will be paid to the instruction of this class, proverbial for all kinds of vice; for although the arm of the law may repress, to a certain extent at least, external acts of cruelty or rob bery, yet no thorough reformation can he expected unless sound religious principles be insulated and public worship devoutly regarded, We hope also that, in the plan adopted bt' the .Legidnoirt for t, hi , Ipiektußl Ittlfaro of tile worlihg ?lit:gai thie rittii,erell44l litPifr ef OWII I III Nat h* twoltoohital 1 , j , liflPikteff' Parli4ll 1 Wheat Qrs.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE,—Tnis DAY (From Messrs. R. MAKIN & SONS' Circular.) Notwithstanding a change of wind to the westward in the course of yesterday, we have still much rain at intervals, and this, with the cold easterly winds prevalent for a month previously, will possibly bring the period of harvest to a somewhat later date than was at one time contemplated; which consideration, coupled with the diminution of stocks, very partially replaced by limited supplies for some time past, fully confirms the renewed steadiness of feeling obser vable of late upon our market and those of the country gen erally. The fresh arrivals of the last three days are to a trivial amount altogether, and, though not active, there has appeared a more general disposition to purchase, and at very full prices for most articles of the trade. No change takes takes place this week in the various du ties on Foreign Corn. Although we had but a slender attendance of millers and dealers at this day's market, the wheat trade throughout continued to exhibit an increasing degree of stability ; and upon a moderate demand, English and Irish Wheat, being scarce, realised the full rates of Tuesday, whilst Foreign, es pecially the better qualities of Odessa, were the turn dearer. Flour being in fair request, home-made and Irish obtained a slight amendment in value, and superior brands of States and Canadian commanded an advance of 6d. per barrel. ARRIV, From the 23rd to th, LS OF CORN, 25th May, 1843, in cluaiue , I 1118- DESCRIPTION. I LAND COAST- (CANADA MISCELLANEOUS. THAMES TUNNEL.—The number of passengers through this place last week was 45,499. The Rev. Mr. Phelps, tutor of the college has been eleted master of Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge. The Queen completed her twenty-fourth year on Wednes day. Prince Albert will hold the next levee on the 21st of June. The drawing rooms are fixed for June 29th and July 6th ; the latter to celebrate her Majesty's birthday. Lord Elphinstone, the late - Governor-General of Madras, arrived at the close of the week from Malta. The noble lord is in excellent health. The Marquis of Bute and Earl Mansfield have received the " Green Ribands" vacant by the deaths of the Duke of Sussex and the Earl of Abergavenny. Be it known that Dr. Higgins was not long since Pro fessor of Theology at the seminary which educates all the priests of Ireland. A sturgeon was last week caught in the Loire, near St. Dye, which was two metres (about 6.1 feet English) in length, and weighed 50 kilos (1121 b English). By a recent order of the admiralty, young gentlemen of all denominations are entitled to enter the Royal Marines. Previously, none but the sons of naval or military officers were admissible. A newspaper is now published in Jerusalem in three lan guages, German, English, and Hebrew. It is said to he un der the superintendence of Dr. Alexander, the new Protes tant bishop.—Debats. Mr. J. H. Sadler, at Holbeck, in Leeds, has invented a loom for weaving each sail of a ship, even of the largest class, in one entire piece ; thus greatly increasing the strength, and diminishing the weight. THE TEA TRADE, MAY 22.—The deliveries last week were 504,045 lb., being again a full quantity. The trade, though not brisk, has been steady. To.morrow there are public sales of rather above 20,000 packages. A poor girl, aged 13, whilst lett at home alone at Newtown, near Leinster, was burnt to death on Friday last. She was subject to epileptic fits, and whilst seized with one of them rolled into the fire. The Severn, West Indian Royal Mail Steam-ship, had her first trial on Saturday. The result was very satisfactory. tier speed averaged eight and a half miles per hour, and the revolutions of the engines were 1311 per minute. The last number of the Quarterly Review, (published on Saturday,) which is no mean authority, and which certainly cannot be accused of any ungenerous opposition to the Tractarian party, says, " that to preach in the surplice is as uncationical and unreasonable as it is unusual. A New York paper mentions a recent attempt to blow up the ice in Buffalo harbour by gunpowder, and concludes the project to be impracticable, because a charge of 20 lb. only excavated a space 20 feet in diameter. Let them try a larger dose. MORTALITY OF LONDON.—The number of deaths in the metropolis during the week ending the 13th of May, accord ing to the last returns of the Registrar-General, was 883, being 20 less than the weekly average of the last five years, and 29 more than that of the five past springs. - . REPEAL PROCESRION.—The procession filled our streets on Sunday. The Examiner estimates the numbers who ap peared in the procession at 500,000. Five Hundred Thou sand! Think of that, in a single gathering. —Cork Consti tution. PREPARATIONS FOR WAR.—AII the Irish forts, castles, and battlements have been inspected by a government en gineer, and ordered to be repaired and placed in a state of perfect utility. Indeed, the preparations of government are such as would indicated that a civil war is not far distant.— Drogheda Conservative. AN AMERICAN ERRATUM.—Ina police article, yesterday, we stated that William Vail had bit off a piece of the nose of George Mount, when the amount of the matter was that George Mount bit off a part of the nose of Vail. Mount was held to bail in the sum of 2,000 dols to answer the charge.—New York Herald. MELANCHOLY EvENT.—On Monday morning, while two young men, in the employment of Messrs. Fyfe, chandlers and painters, Broomielaw, were engaged painting the bows and figure-head of the ship Hamilton of Greenock, now lying on the south side of the harbour, one of them, James Fyfe, an apprentice, was drowned. O❑ Thursday morning last week the frontal bone of one of our old Scottish elks, now extinct, was dug up from the river sand opposite to Kelton, near Dumfries. It is a splen did specimen, measuring between the topmost branches of the horns four feet, round the whole from top to top eight feet, and weiching 241 b. It was bought by a gentleman in Dumfries. —Dumfries Journal. SPREAD OF RIDDONISM.—We have heard that the Ribbo❑ system has latterly been spreading to a great extent in parts of the counties of Dublin, Meath, Longford, Cavan, and Monaghan. We have also learned that the government, in consequence of information received, has instituted inquiries in the various localities as to the progress of the system.— Dublin Advertiser. The West India steam-ship Dee arrived at Falmouth on the 18th instant. Several of the West India islands were still unhealthy, and continued shocks of earthquake had been felt at Antigua, Guadeloupe, &c., &c. At the latter place it was calculated that about one-third of the crop would be destroyed. The Dee brings the melancholy intelli gence of the Lord Bishop of Jamsica on the 10th April. WHOLESALE SHEEP -STEALING.—On Saturday James Crouch, a drover, who has resided at Loughton, in Essex, for many years, and his three sons, George, Charles, and William, were finally examined and committed for trial, at Waltham Abbey, on a charge of stealing 123 sheep, the pro perty of Mr. James Wickham, a gentleman residing near Winchester. EXTRAORDINARY SAGACITY.--A person of the name of George Smith, after having resided at Eeclesfield bar-house, near Sheffield, many years, removed thence to Leeds. Be fore he left Ecclestield he gave a cat, which he had had some time, to a neighbour, and, strange to say, the cat arrived at the house of its old master at Leeds, a distance of 26 or 27 miles, after a month's absence, almost worn to a skeleton.— Wakefield Journal. DEPRECIATION OF PROPERTY IN BRIGHTON.—At a meeting held at the town-ball, on Monday, the proprietor of the Bedford Hotel appealed nainst a charge of £1,250 in poor-rates; and counsel having been heard, the assessment was reduced to £850! Mr. Pegg (the hotel-keeper) stated, that the receipts of his business for the year ending May 1, 1842, were £1,200 less than for the same period in 1842. • THE WRECK OF THE SOLWAY STEAMER.—Mr. Lane, the purser, and the chief officer of the late unfortunate packet the Solway. will sail on Monday from Southampton, in the Canning schooner, chartered for the occasion, with the ne cessary apparatus for diving, to recover some of the property on board the Solway. These gentlemen have made such terms with the underwriters, that, should they succeed, will he mutually advantageous to all parties.—Standard. SINGULAR OCCURRENCE.—About a fortnight ago, Mr. Amis, veterinary surgeon, while walking through a piece of ground in his occupation, in a lane called Little World's End, near New Wisbech, counted the astonishing number of ninety nine bats fly out, one after the other, from a small hole in an old hollow tree. It seems, that they return to the tree after their night y rambles; for they may be seen to leave it every every evening.—Slamford Mercury. RAILWAY ACCIDENT. —A n accident, which we regret to say was accompanied with loss of life, occurred on Wednrse day week on the Glasgow and Ayrshire Railway, at the junction of the Kilmarnock and Ayr branches, When the late train from Kilmarnock had nearly arrived at the junc tion, one of the guards, named James Jack, in attempting td uncouple the carriages ttliith wet t to prerer,d tO Ayr from those! Ftolh tO OlatttOtt, rind rdn. iti lletwiftt the Hrrittgeo; Oft of *Mg PAW *lv hi§ Wifi 01)114 POVIS MELANCHOLY SUICIDE.—On Sunday last, Miss Collins, aged 30, the daughter of a distinguished naval officer and. sister-in-law of Dr. Connlly, committed suicide by preipita ting herself from one of the upper windows of the Middlesex Pauper Lunatic Asylum. She had been subject to various delusions hut was not an inmate of the institution ; and, had come on a visit in order that her friends might determine what. to do with her. She had not been placed under restraint as there was no apprehension of danger to her. At the coroners inquest Dr. Conolly said that about 3 o'clock on Sunday morning, he was awoke by the deceased coming haitily into his bed room, which was situate a story lower than her own. She asked if that was his (witness) bed-room, and if he had a. light ? It was then dayligt. She then asked witness if he could explain to her " the prediction ;" and added that she thought it meant that she must burn herself, and that she had been thinking of jumping out of the window. In order to gain a little time, witness asked her if she had not slept well, and what was the matter ? Deceased answered, " Oh, yes, I have had a sweet sleep." Witness then began to get out of bed, and the door having been left wide open by the de ceased, she instantly ran quickly away and up-stairs again. Witness waited a moment to put on a dreasing gown, and. then foliowed her to her .toom. Having knocked at the door, and hearing no answer, he went in, and then saw that the window was wide open. He would there mention that the room he was speaking of was a private part of the establish ment in which the windows had been all altered during his absence from the asylum, and did he not recollect that they were not secured until he saw it open. Almost immediately after entering the room, he heard a movement, and'instantly saw the deceased spring upon the window sill. He immedi ately ran ronnd the bed to the window, and caught her by the left hand with his left hand, and by her night dress with his right hand. At that time she had sprung from the ledge of the window, and seemed to rest on a broad (spring) ledge of the wall, about 9 or 10 inchos wide, and about four feet below the window. Her dress shortly gave way, and she partly tore it away with her disengaged right hand, and im mediately threw herself of the ledge, when the whole weight. of her body rested on the rist of her left hand. While so situate, the deceased kept up a continued wrestling to get away, in order to throw herself off. He, however, continued. to hold her by the wrist, or rather above it, and called and. cried out for assistance for, he should say, for full 20 minutes,. and was heard in different parts of the building, but the per sons who heard him could not tell whence the cries procee ded. Witness then felt her wrist slip through his hand, and he had then only bold of her by the hand, and eventually her fingers, and at last, being completely spent with his exertions, he could no longer hold her, and she fell to the bottom. Du-- ring the time he held her, whenever he renewed his hold the the deceased renewed her struggles to get free. Her eyes. were shut, and appeared determined on effecting her object. Witness immediately hurried to the bottom of the building, and found the deceased in the area. She was lying on her left side, and was nearly doubled up, and in witness's opinion, was then quite dead. 0 n • C c: ON 0 M a. .0 •L• • V a .I. • V V 1 2: ... 2 w ›4 x • ~,,_.

HORRIBLE DESTITUTION.—We find the following (ruin Mahon (Balearic Islands), April 21, in the Gazette des Tn.- burzaux :—" This morning our port presented a sad and strange spectacle. All the poor of the town (and they form nearly a third of the entire population) were assembled at break of day. The greater number blocked up the quay of the customs, whilst others were swimming in the basin of the port, or were moving about in boats, of which they had taken forcible possession. Towards eight o'clock the spuadroa of the United States, which had been here for a fortnight, and particularly two transports belonging to it, threw into the sea an immense quantity of old biscuit. The poor who were swimming and in boats picked them up, and some of them, so great was their hunger, ate them at the time, al though saturated with sea water. Soon afterwards the com mandant of the fort came up with a considerable force, and compelled the poor to retire to the interior of the town, which they did, uttering imprecations against the director of the customs. The American squadron having to renew its pro vision of buiscuit, the commandant proposed to the munici pality to offer it as a gift to the indigent. The offer was accepted, and the director of the customs was applied to for permission to land the stale biscuit free of duty. This was refused, and the commandant of the squadron, wishing to clear out his biscuit this morning, threw into the sea, as has been stated. It was truly painful to see persons of all ages, and both sexes, struggling in the water to catch a mouldy biscuit, and devouring it at once." fEarketss. WARRINGTON CORN MARKET, MAY 23.

The amount of business yes terday was 3500 bales, and to-day about the same quantity, at last week's prices. The import continues heavy, and the arrivals daily will add, for a time, considerably to our present heavy stock.

Though there is scarcely any addition to our supplies since Friday, and the pretensions dt holders, from the improved tone of most of the country markets, are equally firm as on that day, the disposition to active business has been materi ally checked this morning by the slack state of the trade in London. Upon a moderate sale, however, all descriptions of Wheat fully supported our currency of this day se'nnight, and in particular instances, asin fine Irish and some Medi terranean parcels, Id. to 2d. per 7.01 b. advance was realised, though by no means freely..
