THE GRAND BANQUET AT YORK TO PRINCE ALBERT The long-anticipated and much-talked of banquet by the provincial mayors to the Lord Mayor of London, in return for his magnificent hospitality in the month of March last, came off on Friday wig h all the eclat which the presence of royalty could secure to the occasion. The banquet was prepared i❑ the Guildhall, a fine old Gothic building erected i❑ 1446. The body of the hall was beau tifully decorated. Each pillar was encircled with ever greens and artificial flowers.

Such liberality is surely a reproach to the members of the Church of England, who rarely realize anything near so much at any of their collections.—Doncaster Chronicle. THE ROMAN CATHOLIC PRELACY.—An Archbishop of Westminster, a Bishop of Southwark for the two divisions of the metropolis and the adjacent counties, a Bishop of Beverley to hold spiritual sway in Yorkshire ; Lancashire to be shared between the sees of Liverpool and Salford ; Wales, between Salop and Merthyr-Tydvil cum Newport; the bishoprics of Clifton and Plymouth in the west of England, each comprising three counties; in the midland district the episcopal sees of Birmingham and Notting ham, flanked by that of Northampton in the east—and all this laid down with the authority and minuteness of an act of Parliament by a PAPAL BULL—certainly con stitutes one of the strangest pieces of mummery we ever remember to have witnessed.—Times. FOOLISH FROLIC. —Some young men, near Wootton Bassett, Somersetshire, were on Monday amusing them selves by talking of the execulion of Rush, and other murderers, and agreed that one of the party should per sonate a criminal on the scaffold, another Jack Ketch, a third the clergyman, and th e rema i n d er specta t ors . A real tragedy might have been the consequence. The criminal was placed on a chair, a hand bell tolled, the cord properly fixed round the criminal's neck, and to a staple in a beam. The signal being given "to draw the bolt," the executioner took away the chair, and the man swung off, but the staple to which he was suspended, having luckily given way, he fell violently on the floor. The young man, a carpenter, looked very queer, the cord having been made uneasily tight, and it was scone time before be quite recovered biruself. )rtly to THE LIVERroot STANDARD. A correspondent of the Times states; that,-on Thurs day, he attended a public religious service which was advertised to take place in St. George's Catholic Church, Southwark. He put a shilling upon the plate, but was informed that a charge of one shilling each was made for admission. This he refused to pay, and after waiting a quarter of an hour was allowed to enter. When inside, another plate was presented for more money. All other comers were similarly treated. Shortly before the Queen left Balmoral, a poor Irish woman was found near the Bridge of Cally, who, with the exception of the sea passage, had walked all the way from Mayo, Ireland, with a view to intercede with her Majesty for the pardon of her son, who was lying under sentence of seven years' transportation for uttering base coin. As she related that on her arrival at Balmoral the guards had taken the petition from her, and sent her off without see ing the Queen, she sighed heavily, and then trudged on towards Blairgowrie. THE POPISH "BISHOP OP BIRMINGHAM.—A Birming ham paper contains the following announcement :-- 4 ‘ understand that on Sunday next the Right Rev. Dr. Ullathorne will be enthroned at the Cathedral in this town, as Lord Bishop of Birmingham. on which occasion a Pontifical High Mass will be celebrated by his Lordship and a sermon preached by the Very Rev. Dr. Newman, Superior of the Oratorians. The See assigned to Dr. Ullathorne, includes the counties of Warwick, Worcester, Stafford, Berks, and Oxford, with the acministration of Nottingham." MUSICAL BELLOWS.—Mr. John Heard, of Chittleham holt, Devon, has constructed a very curious piece of mechanism for the Exhibition of 1851, which consists of a pair of bellows. While blowing the fire the tune of "God Save the Queen" will be played, and immediately the operator ceases to blow the music will stop. It is first intended for the exhibition, and at its close to be presented to the Queen. Mr. Heard is self taught; he has built a great number of organs for' parish churches, besides making a number of piano fortes, musical clocks, &c. LYING IN BED FOR FORTY YEARS.—Considerably above forty years ago, a yeoman of this neighbourhood got entangled in the meshes of the tender passion, and suffered disappointment. Having taken to bed at that time, he has kept it ever since; neither threats nor en. treaties ever once inducing him to leave it. His health is uninjured; he eats well ; is conscious of all that is being done around him, and enjoying a small competency, be resolves to end his days where he has so ingloriously im mured himself for nearly half a century.—Bradford Observer. THE PUGILISTIC DUKE —ln the course of the present eh criers have been turning the week o hero of Glen Tilt to profitable account. They have been bawling, night after night, through our streets, lanes, and closes, the high-sounding name of the Duke of Atholl as haVing fought " a great pitch battle with a Cambridge student, in Glen Tilt, for £5Ol a side." Many thousand persons in Glasgow, who read no newspapers, and know little of passing events, have thus heard of the duke for the first time in their lives, as a redoubtable champion of the " ring."--Glasgow Citizen. MURDER OF AN OLD WOMAN.—A fear days ago an aged woman, named Elizabeth Barnard, was found lying in a ditch under a wall, nearly opposite the Wesleyan Chapel, at Haverfordwest. When found she was in a very prostrate state, and her person bore marks of con siderable violence. She was removed to a neighbouring tavern, where it soon became evident that she had re ceived severe injury of the spine and other parts of her person, and notwithstanding the attentions of a surgeon, she continued to grow worse and died. A woman had been taken up on suspicion and an inquest held, but no thing satisfactory transpired. PROFESSOR AYTOUN'S BALLADS.—These fine and spi rit-stirring lyrics, it seems, are becoming the subjects of popular exposition among our neighbours on the other side of the Tweed. The Midland Counties' Herald, of the 17th instant, records that,—" on Tuesday evening, the Rev. Hugh Hutton delivered a lecture on Professor Ay toun's ' Lays of the Scottish Cavaliers,' to a very atten tive and very interested audience of the friends of the Polytechnic Institution at Birmingham. The lecturer illustrated his subject by reading, with great taste and effect, several of the pieces in the Professor's volume, such as the ' Death of Norval.' Graham of Dundee,' and others, and concluded with ' Charles Edward's Lament,' amidst great applause.. . REMORSE OF CONSCIENCE.—Thomas Cash, a singular looking Character, was charged at Sunderland on Tuesday, with having stolen a horse at Houghton-le-Spring.. It appears that while the officer was on duty at midnight on Monday, the prisoner came to him and told him the fol. lowing story :—He said he bad been to Houghton feast, on leaving which he stole a horse, which he sold. While asleep in a lodging-house, he had a fearful dream :. he thought lie had received sentence of death for horse stealing, and that he was led forth to be executed, amid all the grim paraphernalia of death : he thought he beard the last benediction of the priest, and felt the iron hand of Jack Ketch meting the- fatal noose around his neck. He awoke with affright from this terrible dream, and rushing out of the lodging-house, lie insisted on the first he met taking police-office. _ him into:custody. DR.' WISEMAN.—It is a well-known fact that the late Mr. Taylor, in whose cemetery at Weybridke are de posited the remains of Louis Philippe, was induced on his deathbed, or his bed of sickness, to disinherit his son and leave his large property of nigh £3,000 a year to this very Dr. or Cardinal Wiseman. Tt is therefore not merely our consciences that we have to defend againstthe Papal legate, but our purses, the fortunes of English families, the independent - condition of the land, and the people upon it. Cardinal Wiseman is now a frreign prince; his allegiance and his duty bind him to a foreign state far more than to that of England, as he has proved :n his , hibition to his curates to pray for the Queen e, and yet thiL .oreign prince is coming amongst us to exer cise large temporal authority, in the interest, not of England, but of an Italian sovereignty.—Daily News. A PARADOX".—It may sound paradoxical to say so, but it is, nevertheless, true, that railways are tending to recall that state of things which stage coaches and posting brought to an end ; and 1750 and 1850, like two extremes, will be not unlikely to touch.each other in the point of desolate highways and rampant footpads. To take a fa miliar example, we may point to the town and district of Hounslow. More vehicles, probably, passed and re. passed between this place and the metropolis in the year 1800 than at the present moment. It was once the chosen scene of highwayman's exploits ; but the improved facilities of travelling gradually brought our great western route into such hourly use that robbers were actually shouldered from the road by honest men. Upwards of a thousand coach horses were stalled, it was said, in the town of Hounslow some twelve or fifteen years ago. There are now, probably, not ten, and the consequence is that grass grows lig ain on the Bath Road as it did in the days of Jonathan Wild.—Tirnea. AN OPULENT CROSSING SWEEPER.—On Wednesday, Mr. Wakley held an inquest at the Marylebone Work house on the body of Andrew Riley, an aged crossing sweeper, who had for many years officiated at the corner of Baker-street, Portman-square, and whose ready wit and quaint replies had gained him many friends amongst the residents of the neighbourhood. It appeared that on Thursday last, while pursuing his avocations, he was knocked down by a four-wheeled cab, and sustained inju ries which in the end proved fatal. He had succeeded, in his crossing, an old man who had amassed a large for tune. Riley himself resided at a lodging-house in Hen rietta-street, Manchester-square, where lie occupied the best apartments. He frequet tly boasted of his wealth, and was wont upon grand occasions to regale his comrades with the best of everything. He is stated to have paid a heavy sum for the goodwill of the crossing. which, how ever, amply remunerated him for his outlay. The verdict was "accidental death." EXTENSIVE ROBBERY OF JEWELLERY.—On Tuesday morning, one of the largest silversmiths in the Strand was robbed to the amount of between £2,000 and £3,C00. The property stolen was of the most valuable nature, con sisting of diamonds of the most costly description, and other precious stones, rings, and watches. The house in which the robbery was committed is that of Messrs. Chapman and Williams, the large silversmiths and jewel lers, on the 1.4 t-hand side of Craven-street. Plate was no doubt the desideratum of the robbers, but the removal of it from the front shop to an inner shop foisted the bur glars of their intended booty. The premises were proba bly broken into about three o'clock, but how the entry was effected there is nothing to show. The whole of the plunder might be carried off in a man's pocket. The robbery was first discovered about seven o'clock, when the shopman came, and, to nis astonishment, he disco vered the right-hand door ajar. He pushed it open, and found the carpet and the chairs all moved, and every thing in disorder in the shop. In a very short time the loss was discovered. MYSTERIOUS ROBBERY.--Within the last few days Mrs. Lingham, a married lady, residing with her husband at No. 21, Lacy-terrace, Penton-place, Walworth, close to the principal entrance to the Surrey-gardens, disco vered that she had been plundered of Bank of England notes to the amount of £350, and the robbery and ab straction of the property seems involved in the greatest possible mystery. It appears, from the information con veyed to the police, that in thp month of April, 1849, Mr. and Mrs. Lingham sold out property in the funds amount ing to £BOO, and each took £4OO. Mrs. Lingham placed her portion in a cash-box, which she locked up in a drawer in her bed-room. From time to time since that period she added to the stock, so that by the time the robbery was committed the whole should have amounted to at least £6OO. When about to make the last deposit, Mrs. Lingham thought the bulk of notes had diminished, and this circumstance induced her to count it, when, to her great consternation, she found £350 missing. There is another singular circumstance connected with the rob bery, and that is, that from a book in which Mrs. Ling_ had the amount and numbers of the notes entered two leaves were torn out, and by this means all trace of the missing notes is destroyed. BURGLARIES.—Three burglars attempted the other night to enter a farm about a mile and a quarter from Witham ; two of the county police had seen them approach, and while one waited on the road to the place the other followed the robbers; for more than an hour the latter observed the unsuccessful efforts of the thieves to effect an entry. At last they gave up the matter as a " bad job," and moved off. The policeman followed, and seized one; the others ran off; but one returned when the officer threatened to shoot him. The second consta ble now came up, and the two robbers were secured and taken to the farm. They have since been taken to prison. —Five burglaries are reported in the neighbourhood of Swansea. Subsequently, Superintendent Sadler, of Swan sea, encountered three men with bundles; he arrested them, and found that the bundles contained the plunder of the houses.—During Sunday night the rectory of Pelenhall, in Bedfordshire, the residence of the Rev. James Madges, was entered by thieves, who carried off plate and other articles valued at £2OO.—A reward of £lOO, with a pardon to any accomplice who will turn approver, is advertised for the discovery of a gang of burglars who robbed New House,' in the parish of North. fleet, a mile from Gravesend, on the morning of the 24th ultimo. A NEW FIRE ALARVIC—A new and ingenious contri vance for giving alarm in case of fire has•been invented, which consists of a series of gutta percha strings, intended to be so fixed throughout a house that they shall commu nicate with a bell attached to the outer door. They are made to intersect each other in various directions, and are so adjusted that the application of fire to any part of them will cause them to break, and make the bell ring. POISONING.-Mr. George Young, farmer, of Conis cliffe Moor House, about three miles from Darlington, was taken suddenly ill one night in the early part of the month of September last, and was attended by Dr. Jack son and Dr. Peacock, both of Darlington. They found him labouring under severe pains in the bowels, accom panied by violent retching and sickness, and his symptoms continued increasing in violence until the following night, when he died. Both doctors were present at his death, and. Dr. Jackson entertained suspicions that poison had been administered to the deceased, and intimated his fears on the subject to Dr. Peacock. Deceased was, however, buried. He has since been exhumed, and the presence of arsenic detected in his stomach. RAILWAY AND OMNIBUS REVENUES.—Tt will scarcely be credited that the threepenny fares of the Bayswater omnibuses produce a larger mileage revenue than the London and North-Western Railway. Yet such is the fact. A few figures will explain it. There are 41 omni buses on the Bayswater-road. Their average receipt is £2 10s. each per day. That amounts to about £717 per week from the 41 omnibuses. As the length of the road which they traverse is about seven miles, this makes a mileage receipt of about £lo2—a receipt which the Lon don and North-Western Railway does not average. It should be remembered that we only take into account the traffic on the road from the Bayswater omnibuses alone. If we took into account what all the other omnibuses which travel on the same road produced, the receipts would be infinitely higher.—Herapatie: Journal. THE MURDER AT BRENTWOOD.—The funeral of Jael Denny, the victim of the above horrible tragedy, took place on Saturday afternoon in the churchyard of the vil lage of Doddinghurst, distant about two miles and a half from the cottage in which the deceased's parents reside. The ceremony was conducted in the most private manner possible. A small knot of villagers had assembled to witness the interment, but there was no indication of vulgar curiosity on the part of any person present. On the contrary, all the spectators appeared painfully im pressed with the melancholy occasion. The Vicar, the Rev. W. Manley, read the funeral service. The friends of the deceased, especially her sister, as well as most of the byestanders, were painfully affected, and the scene al together was of a very melancholy character. EXAMPLE WORTHY OF IMITATION.—Mr. David Ellis, who was in business some years since at Haverhill, Suf folk, became a bankrupt, paying his creditors 4s. 10d. in the pound. Having gained his certificate, he determined to seek in a foreign land to recruit his lost capital, and for that purpose proceeded to Australia, where he at once embarked in mercantile transactions, and prosperously rose to a high degree of eminence by his straightforward and sterling character, until he had accumulated a capital by which he retired to England upon a handsome compe tency. His first and most laudable act, on his return, was to summon his creditors, and pay the remaining ba lance of 15s. 2d. to each and all of his creditors or their representatives, together with interest on their respective debts ; and on Thursday, the Iflth instant, a large gather ing took place at the Cross Keys Inn, Chelmsford, where a sumptuous dinner was provided, we believe, at the sole expense of Mr. Ellis, who invited all his creditors and several of his friends to partake of his hospitality. THE POPE'S CLAIMS.—The Pope has just issued what he foolishly calls an " Apostolical Letter " which has been published in the London papers. He begins with these words :—" The power of governing the universal church, entrusted by our Lord Jesus Christ to the Roman Pontiff, in the person of St. Peter, Prince of the Apostles, nag maintained for centuries in the Apostolic See the admirable solicitude with which he watches over the welfare of the Catholic religion in all the earth, and provides with zeal for its progress;"—and ends thus:— " We decree that this apostolic letter shall never be taxed with subreptice or obreptice, nor be protested for default either of intention or any defect whatever, but always be valid and firm, and hold good to all intents and purposes, notwithstanding the general apostolic edicts which have emanated from synodal, provincial, or universal councils, the special sanctions as well as the rights of former sees in England, missions apostolic. vicarages constituted in the progress of time—notwithstanding, in one word, all things contrary whatsoever. 'We likewise decree that all vhich may be done to the contrary by one, knowing or „ ....._ enorant, in the nam e o f an y au th or i ty whatever,_ shall be without force. We decree that copies of this letter, signed he a notary public shall be everywhere binding.” Pro testants will surely have their eyes opened soon. CARRIER PIGLONS FROM THE ARCTIC REGIONS.—We have learned from a private source that on Friday last two of the carrier pigeons taken by Sir John Ross when he left the port of Ayr, and, some of which were to be spatched home in the event of his either finding Sir John Franklin or being frozen in, arrived at Ayr, finding their way at once to the dove-cote which they occupied previous to being taken away. The birds arrived within a short time of each other; but neither of them, we re gret to be informed, conveyed anything in the shape of a letter or note of any kind. One of them, indeed, which may have had some document attached, was found to be considerably mutilated—its legs having apparently been shot away. The time they were liberwed by Sir John Ross is of course uncertain, but taking into considera tion the well-known powers of flight possessed by the carrier-pigeon, it cannot have been very long since they they left our gallant countrymen. We do not recollect any parallel to it. The distance the creatures must have traversed cannot he far short of 2,000 miles. Sir John Ross, we believe, took five pigeons w ith hi m , w hi c h were stated in the last accounts received of him to have been at that time all alive, so that there are still three to be accounted for.—North British Mail. THE NEWCASTLE COAL TRADE.—III 1650 Master Beaumont came amongst them with £30,000 in his pocket, but he went away with empty saddle bags, so unprofitable was the coal trade at that period. But still the trade bad gone on increasing. In 1665 they had the first record of the whole vend, which it appeared was 660,000 tons at that period ; in 1800 the export coastwise was 2.381,986 tons; in 1825 it was 3,309,386 tons; and in 1849 it was 5,610,058 tons. The over-sea vend was, in 1803, 138,089 tons; in 1826 it amounted to 178,544 tons ; and in 1849 it was 1,862,551 tons. The aggregate was, in 1830, 1.320,074 tons, and in 1825, 3.487,930 tons, in 1849 7.472,609 tons. So that there had been an increase since 1800 in coals shipped coastwise of 3,228,062 tons, which was equivalent to 135 per cent. ; and in the oversea trade of 1,724,462 tons, which was equivalent to 966 per cent. In the aggregate there had been an increase of 4,952,524 tons, which was equivalent to 196 per cent. Thero was no doubt the over-sea vend might be considerably in creased by the equalization of the duty paid in France. A committee was directing its attention to the subject. Very great pains had been taken in the matter by their honourable member Mr. Bell, and atso by Mr. Foster, the able member for Berwick, who had attended Lord Palmerston, and also the French Minister, with the view of obtaining an equalization of the duties, and he hoped their exertions would prove successful. The chairman had said the coal trade was in a state of great depression. He believed it never was in so bad a state before. For five years it had been continually getting worse ' • whether it would get better or not he could not t e ll, but it de pended entirely upon themselves.—Speech of 111 r, Tay lor at Newcastle last week. WHO SHOULD EMIGRATE TO CALIFORNIA ?—The Times correspondent writes :—" I wish to say a word on the subject of emigration from England. The English don't appear to have interested themselves actively in California, from which some other countries have already reaped a rich harvest. This is manifest from the fact that none of our first or second class mercantile firms have established branch houses here. Then again, the people wh,) find their way here are chiefly of the wrong class. I regret to see a great many young men in the capacity of clerks arriving. This is no place for them. They arrive with little money, and the necessaries of life being enor mously dear, they spend their slender means in a short time, and being unfit for manual labour their fate is very wretched. Scores of them have tried the " diggins," but always failed, most from want of stamina, and some from want of perseverance. The merchants being chiefly Ame rican, their clerks are naturally enough most frequently their countrymen. Then such houses as have been esta blished on South American and Mexican connexions are branches translated from those countries, and they have brought their clerks with them ; besides, their clerks to be efficient, must know the Spanish language. All these things are serious drawbacks to an Englishman arriving in search of a situation, We want capital and thews and sinews here—strong working men and tradesmen, brick layers, carpenters, blacksmiths, and all clases of artisans. With industry and economy they will all do well, and some will make fortunes. They have nothing to fear. Should trade fail them, yet with * health alone remaining, they have the road to independence open to them in the mines. This is no visionary prospect or fancy &latch; those who tried it a year ago are now here to verify my remarks." MATRIMONIAL HOAX.—About a week or two ago, a draper in Edinburgh, a widower, thought proper to ad vertise for a wife, either a young lady or widow, giving as his reason for such a mode of procedure want of time to mix in society, and look out for a wife in the usual man ner • but of course one with some capital was to have the preference, which, likely enough, was the only obstacle to his getting a wife in the " usual manner." The adver tisement was answered by a gentleman in this city, who introduced himself as a young widow of twenty-five, having no family, and having £l4O a year, derived from bank stock, besides some property which belonged to her late husband. The bait took—the fair widow's applica tion was dnly answered, the only one out of thirty that had been paid any attention to, as the widower himself said, and a meeting appointed to take place in Glassford street here, when all preliminaries were to be arranged. The meeting was duly kept by the widower; not so 'with the widow though. In place of her, some thirty of the other sex who were in the secret were at the place of meating, enjoying a hearty laugh at the widower's ex pense, who was kept impatiently walking about for fully half an hour. prominently displaying the sign of recog nition—viz., the fair one's letter in one hand and his gloves in the other, in vain looking for a similar recogni tion from the several females who passed him. Ladies in want of husbands should be particularly on their guard in answerinz such advertisements, as the result of this one proved that it was the money not the wife he was after, as he in his advertisements said applications would he received for, and then either answered or returned. The lady's letter was not in his hands two days when it was replied to, so tl at in this case the £l4O a year proved too tempting an offer to be resisted, and the advertiser for a wife deserving of a hardei punishment than the vain chase he bad after the visionary moneyed widow. His name is well enough known, but the originators of the hoax do not wish to be too severe on him ; perhaps this notice will serve as a sufficient warning to WM kw the future.- .Glavoto Paper. A TALE OF HUMBLE LIFE. A little book has just been published, under the title of " The Life of James Davies." The volume is written by Sir Thomas Phillips, and contains the story of the life of a man of whom the late Bishop Copleston was accustomed to say that if he had been a member of the Romish Church, he would probably have been canonized. In our own, he lived and died a village schoolmaster. The sub ject of the memoir was born in humble circumstances, and educated in a village school. " His school learning was very limited, and to the close of his life he spelt many common words very inaccurately ;" but he had a mother who " instructed her children in the Holy Scriptures." In early life he was apprenticed to a weaver ; and for fif teen years he continued to work at the loom. " The oc cupation of a weaver was not, however, well suited to a bodily frame which long manifested consumptive tenden cies, and the toil and exhaustion of severe bodily labour could be ill sustained by a fragile constitution and feeble health." He abandoned the loom, and his new occupa tion was that of a travelling pedlar. "To this period of his life, and to the wandering habits by which it was cha racterized, he was indebted:for an extensive acquaintance with the poor." In 1812 he became master of a school, then first established at Usk, South Wales, where his .salary was £3O a-year. When that school was satisfacto rily established, his mind dwelt upon the spiritual desola tion of a district he had visited in his wanderings, and in 1815 he left Usk to settle at the Devauden, at the age of fifty. Here he was enabled to build a school-room ; but the income derived from the school was very fluctuating, often falling short of £l5. After a time it was fixed at £23, and • this was his remuneration for twenty years ; and out of this pittance he has been known to contribute to missionary and other purposes con siderable sums. Still the spiritual destitution of the district pressed heavily on his heart; the school was not enough to master it, " and the erection of a church at Devauden became now the cherished object of his life. Years of anxious desire passed over his head before his supplications were answered, but the idea was never abandoned, and he lived to witness the realisation of his fondest hopes." In the temple there raised he officiated as clerk and bell-ringer until he left the Devauden in 1848. During his residence there his summer vacation was always employed in wandering through districts which were little cared for and distributing to the poor copies of the Holy Scriptures, the Prayer Book, and religious tracts. An affecting incident in his life before he left the Devau den is very delightfully told ; it is his love for a lad of the name of William James, whose death-bed he watched. " One proof of his attachment for W. James remains to be mentioned. For eleven years the old man treasured with affectionate care the clothes of the young man for whom he had felt a love as touching as that of David for Jonathan, and when his own death was not dist a nt, he requested that they might be buried with him. His com mands in this' respect were faithfully obeyed; and the clothes of W. James were folded and placed in the coffin under the head of James Davies." On the return from Llangattock Lingoed, the scene of his early life, whither he had proceeded fifteen miles to distribute Bibles, in 1847, he disclosed to Archdeacon Crawley his anxious wish that a school should be established in that parish, a desire which the archdeacon readily seconded. A sub scription was raised, and the school was built, the foun dation stone being laid by James Davies, and the school is 'called "James Davies' School." Archdeacon Crawley having enquired of him how lie meant to live at Llangat fork without wages, he replied, that he still retained the £lOO that had been given him ten years before by Dr. Warneford for his support in old age; that £l4- yearly would be enough for his own wants, that £3 would supply books for his school, and £3 would be needed for other charities in the parish ; and that, by thus limiting his whole expenditur e t o £ 2O a-year, he would possess a pro vision for five years. The school was completed, and the old man arrived at Llangattoek on the 28th October, 1848. He was subjected to a new trial here soon after his arrival ; the £lOO had been lent to a farmer, who undertook to pay in yearly instalments of .220. His debtor pleaded inability to make the first payment at the time, and the old man's resources were reduced to a few shillings. Relief. however, came in the person of a. gentleman who appeared ueex , - pectedly at the school door with £2, which he had been commissioned to give him. A portion of the £lOO was soon after paid. hut not much of it was used, for in Octo ber, 1849, James Davies died after a few hours' illness. A subs-ription has been commenced for the purpose-of' fully carrying out the old man's wishes by endowing the school ; the money raised is as yet insufficient for the purpose, and one great object which the author seeks to accomplish in the labour of love he has so admirably per formed is to stimulate a Christian public to complete the work. Here was a man who was born in humble life, educated in a village school, and carried a pedlar's pack on his back, and who subsequently conducted a charity , school at Usk •, who suddenly left his home and his friends at the age of fifty, to do his Master's work, in a district: the destitution of which had dwelt on his mind from the time lie had visited it during his wanderings as a pedlar. There he dwelt and exerted himself to purge the people of the gross darkness of their minds, and he has left a village church and school to mark the spot which was blest by his labours. But this place, where he lived up. wards of lb irt . y years was not to be the last scene of his labours on earth. In his summer wanderings he found near the home of his childhood a district yet more desti tute, and, at eighty years- of age, he determined to leave the Devauden, and to minister to a new people, trusting to God to feed him, for here he laboured with tittle help from man. The very- slight sketch we have drawn will stimulate curiosity, and we have no misgivings of the re sult. The school will be endowed, and the name of "James Davies" will be read over its portal for ages yet to come. ADVENTURE WITH A LADY YOUNG MEN. ,-WARNING TO (From the Preston Chronicle,) Some months since, a joyous, courageous young wo man, the daughter of highly respected parents, found her self unintentionally detained at the house of an acquaint ance one evening, and, scarcely before she was aware of the fact, night set in. The distance to her own residence was but short, however, and as she expected a little gathering of ladies and gentlemen that evening at her father's, she determined upon returning home unattended, and bidding her friends good night, she hurried along the street towards her residence, into which her family had quite recently removed from another part of the town. Upon turning the first corner, she was suddenly startled by the approach of a well-dressed young man, who ac costed her with a " Good evening," and offered his ser vices to escort her home. Alarmed for an instant, she would have avoided the stranger, but as he advanced to her side she ventured to turn towards him, and a glance satisfied her—she recognised the young man as a familiar acquaintance. Disguising her voice, and replying in a mild tone, she accepted the proffered gallantry, deter mined at once to administer a lesson to her young friend which he could not forget. The conversatian which passed was brief. The beau, suspecting nothing, as he was not aware that the family had changed their quarters, tripped along at the young lady's side, apparently well pleased with his companion. In a few minutes they halted before a modest brick house in a retired street, and the lady relinquished her attendant's arm. " Will you come in ?"' whispered the lady, softly. "Thank you," was the reply.; and the fair companion opened the front door. Closing it carefully, they found themelves in the passage, in total darkness. " Wait a moment," said the young woman, " and be perfectly quiet ; I will return instantly." And with these words she ascended the stairs which led to the parlour. The first the' tof 0 young man, as she retired, was to open the door and remove; : for he suspected all was not as he anticipated. He turned to the door—it was fast. He fumbled for a latch, or whatever secured it—it was not to be found ; and in an instant afterwards he heard footsteps approach ing in the dark. His heart thumped against his ribs, and he began to wish himself safely out of doors again. He was quickly re-assured by the encouraging whisper of his new-made acquaintance, who approached him apparently with great caution. " Hush ! ' she said, " all is safe. Be quiet, now, a moment ; remove your boots from your feet. I wil return in an instant." Our hero was content, and drawing off his boots, he secured them together, and held them in his hand to await the return of his lady friend, who again ascended the front stairs. Entering the parlour a moment afterwards, the female rogue found some dozen or score of vounz female friends with their brothers and beaux present, to whom she quickly an d aLacizua WILLI Luetr briefly communicated the adventure. " I've got him in the entry down stairs," she said. " Put out the lights; keep perfectly still ; don't betray the slightest sound ; and I'll show you some sport in a moment." The lights were removed, the party, arranged themselves around the room—the bulk of the company knew the victim inti mately—and again the lady descended the stairs and ap proached her friend. " Softly, now," said she, taking the hand which was occupied with the boots ;. "softly, All is quiet up stairs ; all is arranged ; come," and she led her gallant shyly along up the stairway. His boots dangled against the railing. "Oh !" exclaimed the fair one, " for pity's sake, make no noise, or all is lost !" The beau moved on, grasped the boots more securely by his side, nor dreamed of aught save bliss Least of all did he suspect the existence of a rent in his stockings ; but he was a bachelor, and this was but a trifle. They entered the parlour, and all was darkness and silence. The lady closed the door behind them, and led her com panion into the centre of the room. Not a breath was heard, and little did the gentleman suppose that he was surrounded by a dozen of his acquaintances. " Remain here one moment, said the girl, " and I will get a light." The gallant raised the soft hand which had conducted him thus far towards—he knew not what—and ventured to press upon it a kiss ; but it was dexterously withdrawn " at the very ni c k o f ti me ," an d hi s li ps ca me in contact with his fingers. " Wait a moment," added his inamorata, leaving him quickly; and then passing a door at theinfuutre ther extremity of the room, she disappeared. gentle footsteps naent ; it was an age to the victim.
