When the Mayor went to the tale banquet of Mayors in London he " hired" a gold chnln with which to adorn his outward man; but he will not in future have to go a-borrowing for such an insignia of his office. The town council have some £lBO to spare out of a vote for certain expenses connected with their trus teeship of the Gasworks of Carlisle, and that sum they have voted for the purchase of a gold chain, which his Worship is to wear at the forthcoming banquet at York. THE COMMON LODGING-HOUSES OF DURHAM.—III a report recently presented by Mr. Superintendent Robin son to the borough magistrates of Durham, he states that in that town there are 14 English, 13 Scotch, and 38 Irish families occupying common lodging-houses. containing 113 rooms, and 230 beds, or shakedowns. On my recent inspection I found 131 men, 98 women, and 127 children, living in idleness in those dwellings. The only employ ment of those children is begging and selling sand and clay in the streets. The most of them are nearly naked, pale, and dirty, and have neither shoes nor stockings on their feet. I have visited these houses at all hours of the day, but never found one empty. Both men and women are commonly seen hanging about idle, whilst the chil- - dren, half naked, are huddled together about the fire, or sitting amongst the ashes. During the influx of Irish at this season of the year, from twenty to thirty individuals —men, women, and children—sleep in one room indiscri minately. On Saturday and Sunday nights last nearly 500 Irish were in these houses, which are in the greatest state of filth, and throw out most obnoxious effluvia, contaminating the whole neighbourhood. The most of the rooms are small, badly lighted, and worse ventilated ; indeed, little or no air enters those dwellings but by the doors, the windows seldom or ever being opened. The common thieves and professional beggars, who lodge at them, live well, and beg more food than they can eat ; for the remainder they find a ready sale to the keepers of the houses, who buy it for the pigs. It is quite common at nights, when they meet together, for one tramper to tell another the exploits of the day, informing him of all the charitable houses in the town, and of the district, whera the most sympathising servants live, whom they laugh at, and where they can be served daily. THE CAIRNGORM MOUNTAlNS.—Earl;.inthe year we described some enormous chrystals, or Scottish tonazes. found on these mountains by an industrious shepherd, who is located far up on the hill. Those stones were found after the great floods of January, 1849, and they had never been equalled in size. Shortly afterwards, a lot of still larger size were brought in. These two discoveries set on fire the imaginations of many in the northern highlands, principally labourers and farm servants, who left their homes and wended their way to the mountains —some from far remote glens in this county and in Ross, carrying with them loads of meal for their support. On the mountains they constructed rude huts of turf and heather—oatmeal, in the shape of gruel and porridge, and perhaps an occasional dried herring, were all to be found in their frugal commissariat; and in good and bad weather the search after the coveted mountain chrystals was most eagerly pursued. We fear, however, that great has been the disappointment and severe the hardshins onritirpri The mountain does not yield up its jewels easily, and the weather was changeable and sometimes very severe. We know not whether the fortune hunters have abandoned the pursuit; but whatever the measure of their success have been, no chrystals have as yet been brought by them to our market. At one time the topazes were to be found on the surface or ere are only found buried in the soil at great depths, or ex posed in the deposits left by the mountain streams after unusually violent floods. Those splendid specimens, the description of which led to the emigration, were obtained after great labour and some danger, their traces having been exposed by unprecedented torrents. It is said that the same shepherd by whom those referred to were got has been fortunate enough during the present season, to pick up a good many rare specimens ; but he, it must be re membered, has spent many years on the bill, is familiar with all the best spots, and traces discernible to his eyes are not so to those of strangers. Lapidaries need not fear to be overwhelmed by the abundance of Cairngorm stones. The emigrants will return disappointed, lik e many others who have imagined that there is an easy royal roan to for tune in gold or chrystalhunting.—lnverness Courier. GREAT FIRE IN LONDON.—On Thursday a most serious conflagration, which was not arrested until it had soon after midnight. The building was of vast extent, having been formerly used as the town residence of one of the foreign ambassadors. it was five or six sto*: high, each floor being let out as offices to co , -" who carried on business also in the adjoinh. The building, which was erected after designs Sir ChristoyxherWren, presented an example of the magnt ficence of the early city mansions. At the rear of the boy was what was formerly the aml— immediately behind this ,dor's private chapel stood another similar erection, and at the back of the last named was one of the well-known warehouses formerly belonging to the East India Company. This building was about 80 feet high, nearly 100 feet wide, and extended into Seething lane. There were six floors in the building, each of which contained goods of great value, consisting of tar, oils, juniper, bristles, and drugs of every description. The fire-engines were quickly on the spot after the break ing out of the fire; but the flames shot through to the premiSes of Hayter and co., and, having ignited the roof of the Corn Exchange, they burst through the back of the houses there, and fired several houses in Seething lane. The scene at this period was awful, nothing being seen but huge sheets of flame curling upwards,, and then spreading in sundry directions. The firemeniwere enabled to cut off the further spread of tbe fire in the roof of the Corn Exchange ; but hour after hour passed away before the least impression could be made upon the other pre mises on fire. The whole of the morning and afternoon the engines were kept at work, and even as late as seven o'clock in the evening there remained a vast body of fire amidst the flames. The property destroyed is consider able ; but at present it would be impossible to form an opinion of the exact loss, as a great many other persons had goods in the warehouses. The Corn Exchange has had the beautiful glazed dome burned off, and other parts of the roof considerably injured by fire. GRAND EXPLOSION.—A detachment of sappers and miners, under the command of Captain Frome, chief engineer officer of the district, has been making prepara tions for the great explosion of Seaford cliff for nearly three months. The cliff is here 200 feet high, and the gallery, in which sixteen tons of gunpowder have been deposited, is about twelve feet from the base; it runs 200 feet into the cliff and 400 feet along it, and it was ex pe led that 600,000 tons of chalk will be separated from the cliff and tumble into tle sea by the explosion. This, in fact, was the great object of the experiment, which was, perhaps, one of the grandest ever witnessed in England. The preparations completed, the day fixed for the explo sion was Thursday last. There was a great multitude to land li of st At. Plymou old drowned himself becai school.

On Wednesday, at Ilkeston, near Sheffield, a young woman, named 'Webster, had been to see her sweetheart, and having sent for him from his work, he was not very well pleased, so immediately left her and went to work, which so hurt the poor girl's feelings that in going borne she called at a druggist's, and bought two pennyworth of arsenic, and poisoned herself. TRIPLE BIRTEL—The wife of a poor man, named Eagles, a coachman, residing in Cumberland-mews-north, Bryanstone-square, London, presented her husband, on Friday, with three boys, all strong and healthy. We are sorry to say that the father, having been out of employ ment for the last fourteen weeks, with a family of three young children previously and a sick wife, is quite unable to procure them the necessaries of life.

There was no machinery to be seen, no smoke, no noise—it merely ap peared like a huge square box, mounted on twelve wheels; and as the steam is condensed, and carried back to the boiler, there was no sign of even a steam-engine. The engine is said to have run six miles an hour; and was as easily stopped and started as an ordinary locomotive. It is expected to run permanently. We hope shortly to re ceive a description of the Dummy forpublication.—Mining Journal. A SHIP BLOWN' UP.—About midnight on Friday week, a most alarming explosion occurred at Cardiff, on boar] the ship Gertrude, Newman, master, of that port, arising from an accumulation of gas on board the vessel, the cargo being coals. The report alarmed the whole town, and numbers hastened from their beds to ascertain the cause. The vessel was found a complete wreck, her mast and deck blown up, and carried a considerable distance. Fortunately, the majority of the crew were on shore, and the injuries sustained by those on bord, though serious. are not considered dangerous. The explosion is attributable to smoking in the forecastle. HORRIBLE SUICIDE.—The case "Flaviel v. the Lanca shire and Yorkshire Railway Company," referred to arbi tration at the Liverpool Assizes, comprising a claim for a large amount for the Burnley branch contract, has seen undergoing inquiry before the arbitrator, at Harrogate, during the last fortnight. Among the numerous profes sional gentlemen engaged was Mr. Brown, civil engineer to Mr. Flaviel, the contractor. During the sitting on Monday Mr. Brown retired to his bedroom, and in a short time it was ascertained that the unfortunate gentleman had terminated his life by almost severhg the head from the body. The unfortunate man was engaged taking notes during the examination of a witness previous to eaving the room. The motive which prompted so terri ble an act is unknown. TIIE NAVY AND ROMANISM.--it was lately reported that a Roman Catholic member of parliament, who had obtained a cadetship for his son in the navy, on discover. inn that his son was required to attend church like the Protestant officers of the crew, had remonstrated at the Admiralty, and sought advice of the Catholic Primate, Dr. Cullen. Dr. Cullen abetted the scruples of the parent on his son's behalf, and interdicted the latter from attending the Protestant church, " even as a mere matter of discipline in the same way as a muster or parade." The matter was considered by the full Board of Admi ralty; and the result was, says the Limerick Reporter, that " the regulation has been done away :with, and ibis burden on the conscience of Catholics in the British Navy removed." A. SINGULAR CHARACTER. — Thomasine Benny died on the 2nd instant, aged 81 years, having been a pauper on the parish of Mawgan for the last 36 years. Since her death it has been discovered that she had money at inter est to the amount of £7O: In her youth she had a natural son, who died at about the age of 24 years ; she made his hirts into a dress gown to wear in her coffin ; a frock the boy was christened in is wrapped round her neck, and his little petticoat tied round her feet ; his sash ribbon and his two' little caps tied round her head and his three shoemaker's knives and a favourite looking glass of his are placed by her side, and a brass ring on her finger. All this was done by her orders. She told the parties to whom she made this request that if her wish was not complied with she would come back to them after her death and tear them limb from limb.— Cornwall Gazette. BARCLAY AND PERKINS' DRAYMEN.—A meeting was held in London, on Monday night, at the MESSRS George Tavern, George-street, Bankside, in 'Celebration of the late attack on Marshal Haynau. It will be re membered that the " George " is the tavern in which the marshal sought refuge from the attack which was made upon him. The meeting was to have been held in one of the rooms in the tavern ; and in an elevated position, close to the seat provided for the chairman, the chair was exhibited in which it was stated Marshal Haynau had sat, and attached to it was the birch-broom with the remains of the handle which it is alleged was broken on the mar shal's back. These memorials of the late attack were viewed with much curiosity, and the dust-bin also at tracted a good deal of ob .vation The room having been found too small for the meeting, accommodation was provided in the skittle-ground. At the half-yearly meeting on -tated that the nett profits of ere £535,342, and the BANK OF ENGLAND. Thursday, the Governor the half-year ending the 31st ult directors recommended a dividend of 31 per cent. free of income-tax for the period, and the rest would then stand at £3,027,309. Mr. Fielder had hoped that the dividend that the dividend be 3 per cent. v to. Mr. De Winton then brought forward We motion of which he had given notice, to th e e ff ec t th a t th e court . of opinion that if a third of the unemployed notes and coin had been profitably employed, the dividend might have been 4 per cent. The Governor considered the motion tantamount. to a . few remarks, moved the previous )w , I agreed to, and the meeting broke up )te of censure, and, after a question, which was Mr. Ireland, a tradesman of South. skittles for twelve hours incessantly on The conditions were that the play was to ce at ten in the morning, and last till ten at night, during which time, as fast as the pins could be set up, Mr. Ireland was to throw at them till he got them down ; for every time he knocked them down at twice he was to receive sixpence, and if he exceeded the twice he was to pay sixpence. Five minutes only were allowed SKITTLIN for refreslimeni.

STATE OF THE AGRICULTURAL DISTRICTS.—We have just had forwarded to us a copy of the last number of the Bury and Norwich Post which contains no less than EIGHTY-EIGHT advertisements of farming stock sales !! Our agricultural readers will fully appreciate this signifi cant fact, occurring as it does at so unusual a period of the year for such sales, and those who read these adver tisements will be startled to find how concisely the auc tioneer relates the " used up" condition of his unfortu nate clients—" under a deed of assignment"—" about to relinquish his farm"—" who is giving ; up farming"— " who quits his farm," &c., &c. Such is the state of the farmers of Norfolk and Suffolk ; and we can add also, from our own knowledge, that many of the smaller class of farmers in this district are already in a very distressed state, and compelled to submit to sacrifices which, were we to particularise them, would hardly be credited.— Doncaster Chronicle.—ln the Chelmsford Chronicle of Friday last there appeared upwards of ninety advertise ments of " farms to let," " farms of " live and dead farming stock," o be disposed of," sa: BRIDGE BETWEEN ENGLAND AND FRANCE. - The French Academy of Sciences has at present under con- wal found to stop the ball BARONS HAYNAU AND Rc THSCHILD.—Baron Roths child has published the letter of introduction given to Messrs.

RIOT AT A MORMON CRAPEL.—A very serious riot occurred on Sunday, at a Mormonite chapel in Spalding. It appeared that the elders, after speaking, had, for some time, invited questions ; but, owing, it is said, to the dum-founding of one of the elect, that privilege was withdrawn. A mob, however, forced themselves in, and one bold fellow commenced questions. There were cries of " turn him out." The account proceeds :—" This was easier said than done ; part sided with the Mormons, and part against them, when a general fight ensued, bon nets were broken, coats torn, and hats smashed. On dead bodies of the bu leaving the town, in the evening, the Mormons were attacked and pelted_.with stones and mud." .. • ..

FRANCE AND lIER PRESIDENT.—The present state of France and the prospects of Louis Napoleon are thus summed up by the Times:—" Taking the suffrages of France as they are estimated by the constitution, and allo?ing preponderance to nothing but numerical supe riority, we conceive there is reason to conclude that a majority of the national constituency is desirous of termi nating the present situation of affairs either by a meta morphosis of the President's office or a prolongation of his power. Yet if we turn to the Assembly we shall find grounds for assuming that not one in ten of its 750 members would lend themselves to the advancement of Louis Napoleon's interests, except with a vie w t o th e i r own private and ulterior objects. In this national council the Count de Chambord hasp party, the Count de Paris has a party, General Cavaignac has a party, an d M. Ledru Rollin has a party, but Louis Napoleon has none.

M. Ferdinand Lemaitre proposes to establish an aerostatic bridge between Calais and Dover. For this purpose he would construct strong abutments, to which the platform would be attached. At a distance of 100 yards from the coast, and at distances of every 100 yards across the Channel, he would sink four barges, heavily laden, to which would be fixed a double iron chain, of peculiar construction. A formidable apparatus of balloons of an elliptical form, and firmly secured, would support in the air the extremity of these chains, which would be strongly fastened to the abutments on the shore a most ex by other chains: Each section of 100 yards would cost about 300,000 francs, which would make 84,000.000 for the whole distance across. These chains, supported in the air at stated distances, would become the point of support to this fairy bridge, on which the inventor pro poses to establish an atmospheric railway. This project has been developed at great length by the inventor. NOVEL EXPERIMENT.—On Saturday, a mare in foal, belonging to William Chambers, jun., Esq. was electri fied at the South Wales Pottery, Llanelly. Not being able to put the animal in the riom where the machine was placed for operating upon her, she was placed outside, near the doorway, and was brought into contact with the instrument by means of long and remarkably slight brass chains. The chains being fastened round the fetlocks of the fore-legs, the first shock was then given, but so slightly as not to be strong enough to have killed a mouse, butit startled the mare so that she fell completely back on her haunches, at the same time snapping the small chains in pieces. After raising and bringing her to , the door again, the positions of the chains were altered, being so placed that the electric currents might pass diagonally through her, and the second shock proceeded much better than the first. It was quite evident that the first had frightened her, for when the charges of Leyden jars were tried previous to giving the second shock, she each time started at the sounds of them. The disease under which the animal suffered was (ossification at the back of the neck) caused by a kick. The poor creature is much bet ter since she was electrified, as we saw her on Monday run after a fine colt; a feat she could not have performed on Friday evening last, for till that time she could not, by herself, get up if she once dropped.— Cambrian. . . WASTE OF RAM-WATER IN TOWNS.—It is a notorious fact, that while the inhabitants of large and populous towns are maintaining lustily that they are wofully stinted in their supply of water, they allow to run to waste gallon upon gallons of valuable soft rain-water, without a sing effort to retain and purify a drop, while the inhabitants 2. other towns, " wiser in their day and generation," use all available means to catch and retain the descending sLowers. We have heard such woful waste justified, on the ground that the rain was allowed to run into the drains to cleanse and flush them. But it certainly is obvious that the same effect can be much better obtained by first using the water for domestic purposes, and thereafter sending it down properly-constructed openings, connected with efficient drains and sewers. People are very apt to say, "Oh, the amount obtained yearly is of such small extent as not to be worthy of the expense of collecting." " Now, there is ncthing," as brother Jonathan says, " like cyphering," Mr. Dempsey states that " the roof of a house of the average dimensions of twenty feet square, presenting a plane surface of four hundred square feet, receives at least eight hundred cubic feet of rain-water annually, or about 4,800 gallons." Now this quantity is equivalent to nearly thirteen and a half gallons per day. We really wish every house in the kingdom had such a supply. But allowing only one halt of this to be obtained, surely a sufficiently liberal estimate, it is certainly worth the collecting. It shoul I be immediately received in a filtering tank, and the best avalable meta od be adopted of purifying it from the carbonaceols ?Tatter with which it becomes saturated in passing through a smoky atmosphere, and flowing over roof surfaces covered with a deposit of similar impurity. An economical and well-devised apparatus for effecting this purpose, and applicable to private and public buildings of all classes, is a desideratum yet wanting in the econ. owical supply of watet..—The witness it. As the appointed hour drew near, the men " kept the ground" upon the beach, moved their boundary flags some fifty yards further away from the spot which was the "observed of all observers," and required the spectators to remove to a distance, which must have been 300 yards, if not a quarter of a mile, from the cliff to be blasted. With the mass, curiosity overeame eery other feeling, and there was not a little reluctance to retire further back. Some ladies were among the last to be induced to keep at a greater distance, and give the gun powder a wider berth. The next few minutes were passed in impatient expectation. It was not until twelve minutes past three o'clock that suddenly tho whnlp el;ff ..au n auw 1:1.11, Luting a • Width of frontage of some, 12) feet bent forwards towards the sea, cracked in every direction, crumbled into pieces, and fell upon the beach. in front of it, forming a bank, down which large portions of the falling mass glided slowly into the sea for several yards, like a stream of lava flowing into the water. The whole multitude on the beach seemed for a few moments paralysed and awe struck by thestrange movement, and the slightly trembling ground; every one sought to know with a glance that the mass had not force enough to come near him, and that the cliff under which he stood was safe. There was no very loud report. There seemed to be no smoke ; but there was a tremendous shower of dust. Those who were in boats a little way out state that they felt a slight shock. It was much stronger on the top of the cliff. Persons standing there felt staggered by the shaking of the ground : and one of the batteries was thrown down by it. In Seaford, too, three-quarters of a mile off, glasses upon the table were shaken, and one chimney fell. At Newhaven, three miles off, the shock was sensibly felt. " MEMBERS OF THE CITY ,OF 1/USHINGTON."—At the Middlesex Sessions on Wednesday, Henry Preston, a man of very formal and sanctified appearance, but described as a comedian, was indicted for having stolen a silver watch and gold guard-chain, value £7, the property of Mr. Charles Dowden, from his person.—lt appeared that about four o'clock on the morning of the sth of September, the prosecutor was seen by a street-sweeper lying intoxicated on the pavement in Ceccil- street, while the prisoner was seen kneeling upon him. On the street sweeper approaching the prisoner ran away, but was shortly afterwards apprehended by a police-constable who had come up. The watch was afterwards found in a door-way where he bad been apprehended. The prose cutor having been called, the reluctant and dogged manner in which he gave answers to all questions excited some amusement. He said that on the evening in ques tions lie had been to a supper at the Albion, near Drury lane Theatre, where he enjoyed himself, and got too much to drink. He lost his watch, and that was all be knew about the matter. , The prisoner here requested the prosecutor to turn towards him, and addressing him in a very pompous and dignified manner, said—Sir, do you know that a very solemn duty now devolves upon you, and, therefore, I call upon you seriously to reflect before you answer. Do you know the serious responsibility of an oath ? Are you aware of its great importance, andjia tie v i e you made yourself acqua i n t e d w ith the obligations ninth commandment—that " Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour ?" answer. He then claimed acquaintance prose cutor, and reminded him of their having passed prosecutor some could not charge his memory with the fact, H which, Re fl e w c i t tb b t e i f l o e reyou ever, was deposed to by a wai rhu drs ay morning, that on Wednesday week, or early .n on the arlour drinkin hours together at the Harp Ta t v e e r r a n t ; th b e ut a th rp e whobsoawid. the prisoner and prosecutor we u re nt i three o'clock and that b in e hadthe g morning, and then wen was in the house fetched four books while the prosecutor in which names were written ; thathe was duly admitted ofthe c ity of Lushington."

The committee of the Court of Aldermen have reported in favour of Mr. J. Stuart Wortley's claims for the re cordership of London. He is brother to Lord Wham cliffe. Sir Fitzroy Kelly, Mr. Crowder, and Mr. Page Wood have refused the office. The election will take place to -day. It is stated that negotiations are now on foot with Government for the establishment of a submarine tele graph over the 60 miles of sea from Holyhead to Kings town, and on to either Cork or Galway, to be thence con nected by steam-ship with the nearest telegraph station ln the other side of the Atlantic. AL H • . _ .JAYNAU.—The Chartists of Manchester, copying their compatriots of the . metropolis, intend to hold a public meeting to-morrow evening, at which the beim viour of the London draymen on a recent occasion will, no doubt, meet with unmeasured praise, and the name of Haynau in a corresponding degree be insulted. SUICIDE BY A Boy.—Last week, James Chapple, aged 13, employed in looking after pigs, was missed . at night, and not found until the following Tuesday, when he was discovered in a standing position up against the boughs in the hedge, quite dead, and strangled by a handkerchief. It is supposed that he was experimenting, and went too far.—London paper. A fearful accident occurred on Saturday at the convict establishment at Portland, the whole of the framework of a ponderous crane employed at the stone quarries having fallen, by which three of the convicts were killed on the spot, and fourteen others seriously injured ; of the latter three or four are not expected to live. The num ber of convicts at present in the establishment is 825.

Mr. LAYARD'S LATFST DISCOVERIES.—A few weeks ago we announced (says the Literary Gazette) Mr. Layard's return from his expedition into the desert, and the rescue of some of his larger antiquities from the mud of the river, and their embarkation for England. We have since. however, received further particulars of his most recent discoveries at Koyubjik, which are extremely interesting. He found, as has been stated, a chamber which is completely filled with terracotta tablets, the in scriptions on which, we now learn, are stamped in, so that though Major Rawlinson thinks it very probable these tablets may be records of the empire, it is still not unlikely that many of them may, in fact, be duplicates of, or a col lection of manifestos for issuing to the people or their immediate rulers,—in short, a sort of Assyrian official printing-office. We believe that no fewer than twenty five cases are on their way to England. In the pyramid at Nirnroud, also, a unique statue has been discovered. It is from four to five feet in height, in gypsum, elaborately carved, and very perfect. There is also a high relief of the king, very beautifully executed, standing in an arch eight feet high, and covered with minute inscriptions. Mr. Layard's last communication is dated Akra. July 17. where, we are sorry to say, he had been confined by a severe attack of fever. The inefficient assistance he has received has caused him to over-exert himself, and thus he has been stopped for awhile on his way to Van to se cure inscriptions. He hopes to pass great part of the winter in Babylonia, and to return home in the spring. The very important discoveries he is now making render it imperatively necessary that his exertions should net be stayed for wait funds. oposecl, in a very c Earl of Carlisle, ho was the d .t of Col 5 to 24 , ntlemei , Walte al other scions of distin- Westmorland and Cumberland mon Council, Lon- the fixing ty voted in The o p f li c h a t s h t , i i r s ol fi l v; l f a e t e e t s li i 1: 1 i endc lz h ll o ll o , d a . n"o r " . e h ha vc i o . 0 - a, o ne o ; e t b io o tern consists of cast iron plates, lined vit ed iri t! s.
