ItuiCEIGN AND COLONIAL. THE OVERLAND MAIL, The Times. of Friday, c ,, ntained the intelligence brought by the Overland Mail, of which the energetic . Mr. Waghorn, was the bearer, who came through Ger many, instead of the customary route, vid Marseilles. The dates from Bombay are to the Ist of October, that from China to the 15th of July, five days later, but it is unimportant. Tranquility prevailed throughout India. The affairs of Scinde were progressing as favourably as could have been expected, the people of that country appearing to be much more happy and contented under the British government than under the Ameers. The troops were healthy, with the exception of a few slight t Sukkur and Kurrachee.

ATTEMPT TO MIIRDER.—A man named Martin Mor ris, overseer of the Ballinastick colliery, in the county of Tipperary, was on Monday last waylaid by three assassins, who fired two shots at him from behind a ditch. Tome bullets were lodged in his back. The unfortunate man has a wife and eight children, and his life was in imminent danger on Thursday when the last accounts lett. No cause has been assigned for this shocking outrage,. Lord Farnham, last week, selected forty of the children of his tenants and set them to work on some of the most diseased potatoes. They reduced to pulp, on common tin graters, 212 stones of potntoe, yielding a very large quan tity of starch, making, when mixed with flower, very wholesome bread. The Earl of Roden is attaching a large potato-mill to his powerful saw-mill in Tollymore- park. A. meeting of the Dublin Town Council was held on Tuesday, at which Mr. O'Connell proposed that a deputa tion should be appointed to wait upon the Lo-d Lieute nant for the purpose of pressing upon the attention of government the propriety of taking measures to prevent the export of provisions of all kinds to any country except England, of stopping distillation from grain, and of hying a tax of 50 per cent. upon the income of absentees, and of 10 per cent. upon all other incomes. The proposition was unanimously adopted The 21b loaf was raised in Dublin a halfpenny last week, and 44,i. is now the price of the 21b loaf which could be per cen , o risen hin two mon sere prop( cers' price on Tuesday was 6d. per stone, whilst - six weeks since it did not exceed 3d. The prices of tneat, fresh and cured, have risen very seriously, and prices of all commodities tend upwards. SUMPTUOUS DINNER.—At the entertainment given by the Marquis f Hertford, in the Castle Gardens at Lisburn, to his Irish tenantry, the bill of fare was as fol- tifty.fiv ditto mutton ; ninety-seven joints boiled beef; ninety six tongues; one-hundred and ninety-two meat pies ; sventy turkeys; seventy-two geese; total number of dishes, 746 ; 36001b5. of bread ; 3200 pints of strong ale ; thirty barrels beer, thirty-two gallons in ea:•h barrel; one hhd. and six half-barrels ale and porter (a different sort); 3200 bottles of punch (cold), and a cask of cider. ROME'S IDOL.—Rome is never at a loss for " the making of a peony." Her sons are so skilled in the art of conversion that even the diseased potato. they are turn ing into gold. The following is an extract from a private letter, dates the 23d ultimo, from the county of Wex ford :—" I am sorry to find that you ire a sufferer in your potato crop. It is the o.dy thing spoken of hese ; people arc justly filled with alarm, but as far as our neighbour hood is concerned, I hoar of no remedial measures being adopted except by a lot of Friars here, who ore selling blessed salt, which unfortunate dupes purchase greedily to sprinkle over their fields 11" Farmers are charged ss. for a handful, and are promised to have the disease driven away from their potatoes; and wretched cottiers are charged 2s for the same service. In one day last week a priest received fifty pounds for this blessed salt, and the traffic in it is spreading rapidly. O'CONNELL'S BLASPHEMY AND BLACKGUARDISM.— At the Repeal Association last week, O'Connell alluded to the statues for the Parliament Houses, and having be- stowed a few passing compliments on Oliver Cromwell, be ran a very vigorous tilt against Lord Bacon. He was not surprised that they were about to erect a statue for him. Who was he ? A judge who took bribes. Was it to encourage other judges to follow in his steps ? Pope had well described him as " the mightiest, wisest, meanest of mankind." Well. then came Wycliffe, John Knox, and John Wesley. Wycliffe was the first man who intro duced the doctrine denying the real presence in England, and he asserted that the Sovereign forfeited his authority for the monarchs of the present age. He possessed non of the dignity which belonged to the English character for he apostatized a second time, and returned to his cu racy. What was his end ? He fell dead as mass just at the elevation. False to himself—false to his country—fake to his God. Then came John Knox. be whom Dr. Johnson had called "the ruffian of the Refor- [nation ;" and certainly existed. One of his principal works was He denounced that as the n more u thing in the wo, e hoped his statue would hold that PECULATION IN entered th d brokers of Paris shares..

DECREASE OF RAILWAY PROJECTS. — The Railway World of Saturday week remarks : "The temporary panic which we have just passed through have the ffect of sweeping away a host bubble schemes. t for the easy credulity of the public, would never _ have, for the last six or seven weeks, swarmed with such schemes. The tempest of the last eight days has already de• stroyed these bubble projects. They are ow in the act of perishing. Of hundreds of their number we shall never hear another word. After dividing among their victims the little that remains of the deposits, they will vanish entirely, leaving not a wreck nor even the shadow of a wreck behind." As a proof of the truth of this sweeping sway of bubble projects, the London Times each day last week came out shorn of four pages of its usual dimensions, and the Morni ng Herald of eight pages, from the lack of the usual complement of long railway advertisements. We may, therefore, hope that fair and legitimate schemes may now reassume their fair value in the market. ave had fact ? But he did worse thfn that. He was the w , Eassin of Cardinal Weton.

On Friday night week, the extensive tar and turpentine distillery of Messrs. Tall and Co., Wincolmlee. Hull, was wholly destroyed by fire. The loss cannot be cor rectly ascertained, but it is estimated that it will exceed £3,000, and may he 5,000. A STEEP GRADIENT.—We have heard of unfavourable gradients on certain lines of railways, but we never heard of a downward incline to exceed that in the shares of a certain crojected railway, which slid down within a fort night from £8 premium to 16s 6d. On Saturday last, James Lovell, a labouring man in Somereetshire, committed suicide by hanging himself. It is generally thought that tho fact of being unable to pay hie rent for the cot in which he lived was the cause of his committin4 this act. By the breaking of a rope at the Upper Soundwell coal pit, Kingswood, near Bristol, on Saturday last, five men were precipitated to the bottom and killed on the spot. A sixth was dread Fully mangled. Fuur of those who were killed have left wives and families. Some enemies of the umbrella are seriously entertain ing the idea of foraging a company to erect light transpa rent verandahs from the houses, across the footways, tS9 that even on the wettest day the metropolis can be tra versed from one end to another without an umbrella. The Southwark " Sunday" toll-bars are now in progress of being pulled down. Workmen are enraged upon those at Bermondsey Church and Dockhead. These bars wrre the last existing Sunday tolls iu England. A Fits AK OF FORTUNE.—There is reason to believe that an individual named Stoddard, Evan), Derbyshire, will era long become possessed of very extensive e,tates in the county of Kent, of which he is the questionable heir at law. T.iis (expected) fortunate person is in very humble c rctimstances—a weaver with a large family. A hoy was brought up on Thursday week at the Thames Police-office, on a charge of stealing a donkey and cert. A witness stated that he was offered the donkey and cart for sale, saying he was commissioned to sell it by Fishinz Jack, otherwise Jack the Tinker, "who was broken up and ruined by gambling in railways." lioasss.—Within the last week, no less than 500 horses have been sent for sale to a repository, owing to the further opening of the Northern and Eastern Railway from Bishop's Stortford by way of Ely and Thetford to Norwich, and the consequent discontinuance or the coaches. The expdeition to the North Pole. consisting of the Erebus and the Terror, Captain Crozier, under the com mand of Captain Sir John Franklin, was spokm by the Enterprise, Martin, master. arrived at Peterhead. lying at an iceberg, in lat. 73 12 N., ion. 62 W., on the 28th of July. Cuthbert Macdonald, who was convicted along with two other men, at the last Durham assizes, of highway robbery, has received her Majesty's pardon, it appearing, from the confession of the other prisoners, that. he was not in any way concerned in the robbery, although tively sworn to by tEe prosecutor. SINGULAR ACCIDENT.-01) Wednesday a loaded coal waggon was proceeding down Flret-street towards Chan- _ lane, London, when it suddenly fell over sideways in eonseqm nee of the sewer (just completed) bursting in, the mortar nit being dry enough. The ground fell three feet below the level; the cost of the repairing damsge will be very great. A contemporary says, " It is a fact, that the demand by the printers for the little letter q is so great, that the type founders are doing nothing else but casthtg for it. So many esquires have found their way into print, that the printers have been thrown out of their calculatio •s, and the supply is not adequate to tie demand. If, therefore, gentlemen happen to find themselves dubbed plain Mr., they will know the reason." At Hull, on Friday, a tobacconist was fined £l5O and £5O, for having in his possession a quantity of snuff, not being Welsh nor Trish snuff (for special provision is made), sad containing other ingredients than tobacco, not being water, or water anti salt, or alkaline silts alone, which ingredients are allowed by the excise. The amount of adulteration charged was 15 per cent. of earthy matter. A CHOICE CIVIC SEAL.—The municipal corporation of Louth, Lincolnshire, has arisen out of the scholastic, one of the wardens nnd assistants of the royal free gram mar school there ; the common seal of which as Master Gwillym would blazon it, is a pedacogue sejant armed with a birch rod rampant, across his knee a boy bare breeched couchant passant and three pupils on each side, stptant rigardant, with the motto from the proverbs of Solomon, (xiii. 24,) QVI PARCIT VIRGAM ODIT FILIVM.

MEItCHANT SEAMEN.—The Act of Parliament for the protection of British seamen came into opera ion on Saturday.

And surely, then, no other class of sickness to which mortality is heir, can come home more strongly to our sympathies than this." The hospital will afford accommodation for upwards of 200 patients. MONUMENT.—The art of mnemonics presents various resources to the muse of history for transmitting records to posterity. The printing press, by typography, or re cords of stone, or bronze, were in the classic ages the favourite objects of Clio to contemplate monumental art, which are read by the spectator by the organ of vision. Sight makes more powerful impressions than books on the auditory organ. This principle is now making rapid progress in Europe. The King of Bavaria has conse crated the Waihalle to the glory of the Teutonic name by a collective display of all the great men Germany has produced, during a succession of ages, from the ante historic period to the present age. As the Arnphictorice A verdict of manslaughter has bee n r et u rn e d against assemblage of the monuments of heroes and demigods of Wheatley, the driver of the Pilot engine which ran into Hellos, which drew all Greece on a pilgrimage to Delphi, the train on the Midland Railway, a few days since, and our commission of the fine arts has opened an arena for by which Mr. Boteler, Q.C., was killed.

The last clause of any immediate importance, is, that if any person shall receive of any seaman payment in respect of his board and lodging in the house of such person for a longer period than such seaman shall have actually resided or boarded therein, or shall receive any monies, or effects of any seaman, and shall not return the same or pay the value thereof when required to do so by the seaman, after deducting there from what is justly owing on his part, he shall pay a sum not exceeding £lO above the value of such monies, &c., after such deductions as aforesaid, which shall be ad judged to be paid to the seaman so defrauded.

ANDOVER UNION.—The unfortunate woman, BRUTAL OUTRAGE.—A few days since, as Mr. W. Gold was proceeding along the high road near Batleigh Wotten, not far from London, he was suddenly attacked by three ruffians, who, after dragging him from his horse, tied together his legs, and nearly suffocated him with mud and filth, which they forcibly stuffed into his mouth, in, order to prevent him calling for help. They then pro ceeded to rifle his pocke:s, and succeeded in getting off with a check for £32; five £5 notes; a silver hunting watch, maker William Tyas, No. 9,685; a pair of silver •pectacles, two knives, and a silver pencilcase. The un fortunate gentleman was subsequently found in an almost exhausted state by some rustics. POOR-RATES. --At the Buckingham petty sessions on Saturday last, before the Re's. A. Baynes and W. T. Eyre, T. Chapman, a tidily clad aericultural labourer, was summoned for two poor-rates, amounting to 3s. Bd. Chapman said he was not able to pay it : he bad to pay Is. 6d. per week for the cottage, to buy firing, and keep himself, his wife, and two children, out of his wgges, which were 9s per week, which was less than 3d. each per day to live on. Mr. Webb, the overseer, said labourers with four or five children were made to pay, and therefore be thought Chapman should. The man said he had been ill for a time. The magistrates told him they could not help him, and that he must pay the 3s. 8,1., with the clerk's fee, 35., and the constable's fee, Is., in 14 days. MORECAMBE BAY HARBOUR COMPANY.—In con sequence of the recent nautical survey of the west coast of England, made by the direction of the Lords Com missioners of the Admiralty, having proved the existence of the most important natural facilities in the Bay of Morecambe, for the construction of a harbour of refuge, capable of affording shelter to vessels of the largest burthen navigating the west coast, at ali hours of the tide, and under all circumstances of weather,—the intention has been announced of forming a joint stock company, to be called the " Morecambe Bay Harbour Company," with a capital of £300,000, in 15,000 shares of £2O each, for undertaking the construction of such a harbour in connexion with a tidal basin and ship canal into the river Lune at Lancaster, affording access to the town and quays of Lancaster, and to the railways there, to merchant ships of the largest tonnage. The project is brought before the public under the sanction of the different railway companies interested in theimprovement of the port of Lancaster, as well as the commissioners of the port. HORNCASTLE FAIR, LINCOLNSHIRE.—.This large ftir was sell attended last week. Blood stock of good pedigree went off quickly at prices varying from 120 gui neas to £2OO ; thorough-bred brood mares, stinted to good horse 4, made from 6) to 83 guineas; yearlings from 30 to 80 guineas; hunters of reputation made prices ranging from 100 gainers to 200 and 250 guineas each ; aged hunters, fit for hravy country and hounds. 40 to 80 guineas; mares, (ire fu rl,) from £3O to £5O. There was an admirable show of five year old carriage horses, which were bought up rapidly, and destined for London ; the prices obtained were from 40 guineas to 60 guineas ; and several pairs of well-matched horses made as high as 160 guineas ; uobroke horses sold at 30 and 40 guineas ; and colts from £25 to £35; prime young cart-horses made from 16 to 21 guineas. The sheep-pens did not extend wide, but business was transacted at good prius ; Lin- coins (good wethers) making 4s. Bd. per stone ; and ewes (early lambing) from 325. to 38s. per head ; and good lambs made 1 guinea. MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE.—On the 21st ult., three young men, named Lindsay, Bell, and MeLaren, went out on a fishing excursion near Glasgow ' and were so bent on the sport. that they did not think of returning until the shades of night were fast closing on the heath, when they bent their steps homeward as fast as possible. The night was cold and gusty ; the water so long dab bled in, not far from the freezing point • and after leaving the burn for the road, the three youths had proceeded a short distance, when poor MiLaren became so ex- Rusted from fatigue, that his limbs actually tottered under him. Thus disabled from proceeding a step far.her, it was agreed he should remain by the way-side, with Lindsay to watch over his safety, while Bell under took the duty of finding his way to the nearest house to tell what had - happened, and crave assistance. He did so accordingly, but, through the darkness of the night, lost his way, and wandered so far and wide, that it was near six o'clock the following morning before he reached his home, when the alarm was given, and search instantly made for his companions, who were found stretched on ,the damp grass near to each other, both alive, but unable to speak, and incapable of motion. M`Laren expired before he could be conveyed to a cottage, Lindsay was put to a warm bed, and .is likely to recover. WRECK OF A STEAMER.—thI the 22d instant., the Margaret, screw steamer, plying between Hull and Ham burgh, was wrecked, during a severe gale, on a dangerous sand called the Memenerst, near Jewist, at the eastern entrance of the river Memrn. Three of the crew and ix - teen passengers, consisting principally of Jewish emi grants, perished. The moment she took the shoal, the sea, which was running terriely high, swept several per sons overboard. The long-boat was launched, and at tempts were made to reach the shore, but, owing to its crowded state and the violent surf, it capsiz. 41, and every soul in it met with a watery grave. Those who remained on board the;Ntssel, after being exposed to the most severe privation fitteduMber of hours, were saved. The stea mer became a complete wreck, but as the tide receded, considerable quantities of her cargo ' , ere got out of her hold. The Margaret was the property of Mr. Pim, of Hull, by whom she was built some years ago. She was about 250 tons burden, rigged as a three-masted schoo ner, and was worked by a screw propeller, being the first vessel of the description that has .been engaged in the passenger traffic from that part. Within a few miles of the spot where the Margaret was lost, a ship foundered about the same time, anti every soul belonging to her was drowned. Another vessel, belonging. to St. Peteraburg, named the Mehala, was lost on the previous day, on the same sands, and the captain and four of his crew perished. In addition to these disasters, the Hamburg Mail an npunees the loss of no fewer than nine vessels on the Dutch coast during the storm. ROMANCE or REAL LIFE.—A young American plan ter, named Da Costa, of immense fortune, recently came over to this country in search of a wife, and after visiting some of the most fastConable cities, an.i " spending his money like a prince," without meeting the object of his search, he paid a visit to Birmingham, and was stand ing one day at the door of the Hen and Chickens, when, as old wives would say, (and circumstances in this case proved the truth of the saying.) the very person he came to England to look for walked across New-street, nearly opposite where he stood. Struck by her appearance, he followed the lady, and with much politeness expressed a wish for a better acquaintance, and a desire to see her home. The young lady, a bliss Rimmer, of AlceVer, was at that time on a visit to Mr. Heeley's, Bristol-road, to whose house the straneer accompanied her, but his pArtner in life not quite liking such a romantic visitor, referred him to her parents. The traveller Waq not to be diverted from an object in search of whom he had travelled so far, and the little town of Alcester was shortly after well nigh frightened from its propriety by a carriage and four driving up full speed to the house of Mr. Itimmer. After many wonderings among the inhabitants who it could be, it turned out that it was Mr. Da Costa, come to request of the parents permission to pay his addresses to con, bat pove _ . th.

Stand to your arms, boys ! the rogues are upon us." In an instant every man was at his post, and on the al , -rt. " Stand in the shadow of the spars and rigging to be out of sight," continued the captain, " and not a man of you fire till I give the word." " Ay, ay, sir," responded the crew, with nautical preci sion. "And now," said the captain, who really , went to work in a business-like style," let us get this gun on the other tack, Mr. Brae, to be ready for the gentlemen." The muzzle of the piece was accordingly thrust through the opposite port, keeping a dead aim on the boat, which was now little more than a quarter of a mile distant from us.

THE ORIGIN OF ENGRAVING —The origin of in ! rI Z graving on copper is ascribed by Vasari to IVlassa guerra, a celebrated niellatore of the fifteenth centorYi but before telling you how he arrived at this inventi"a',,e will describe the art from which it arose. Nielto, or Oa inlaying of metals, was employed in very early times. 1 6 seems to be the very same as the marquiterie of t French, and the Eastern lavoro da inaschino, whi ch „ a . have before mentioned. The process by which the bel t. ail works we have lately see, were executed were "s follows :—The subject beim., cut out with a chisel in plate of silver, the interstices were filled with a mixtur e of silver and lead, called from its dark colour nigellun whence the Italian word niello, was derived. The con tra st of this dark substance with the shining whiteness of t 5, ground produced the effect of a beautiful relivo. It wa j chiefly used for tables, cabinets, the savers of missa ls, acw, sometimes for the hilts of swords.

They both sunk, but soon rose again about four rods from the ship, clinging closely together. Then commenced a combat the most singular and appalling 1 had ever wit neseed. No one on board seemed to think of devising means of assisting our champion. No one dared to fire upon the pirate; for so closely were they coiled together, so rapid were their evolutions, and so dim the light shed by the moon, that it was impossible to hit one without endangering the life of the other. At the commencement of the struggle, their efforts seemed to be aimed solely at rowning over on t: ae top o water, dashing it about like wounded sharks. Both then sunk and for awhile were lost to our sight. PreSently they rose again, and exchanged thick and heavy blows. and dosing with redoubled fury sunk again. Neglecting to use their weapons, wl.ich would have put a speedy end to the fray, they fought more like savige beasts of prey' bent on throttling each other, than like human beings. " Shall we stand and see our man murdered?" at length exclaimed a voice fern among the crew. 1: operated like magic to break the spell that had fallen upon us all. " Clear away the boat there !" shouted the captain, and six men sprang to execute the order. Just then, after an effort of unusual fierceness, both of the combatants sunk. Tuey remained out of sight so long, that the men aho were letting down the boat suspended their operations, and we all stood breathless with uncertainty and anxiety awaiting their re-appearance. At length, about thirty yards otf the waters parted; but only one man was seen to rise. " Is it you, Ralph ?" cried the captain, in a suppressed voice. " Here is some of him, at least, on my knife-blade," responded the freebooter, with the accent and laugh of a fiend ; and springing nearly to his whole height out of the water, he threw the weapon with great force towards us. Another hollow laugh rang over the waters, and, on look ing round, wide circles of ripples were seen moving on the moon!it sea, as if some Leavy body had just sunk into it. Vengeance was the tardy thought that now rushed on every heart. Some, in the blinded fury of the moment, actually discharged th e i r pi eces i n t o the centre of those waving eddies, without staying', to reflect upon its utter uselessness. Others with their guns in readiness, and eyes glaring up on th e sea lik e p an th e r s robbed of their prey, stood prepared to fire the moment he should show his head above the water. But he rose no more. The winged messengers of death that had been aimed at his life sped harmlessly over his head ; and had it been possi blehave been see n re p os i ng p ea cefully oni ts sandy bottom by to penetr a t e th e secre t s of the great deep, he might the side of his late antagonist. A sullen silence pervaded the ship. The men looked gloomily at each other, and with lowering brows on their helpless prisoners, as if a sufficient atonement had not been rendered for the life man ; nought below man—the heir of eternity, the e,_";10 whose true sphere is beyond the grave—could ever done so. It is a horrible madness, but there is a s e ,," t o mity in its horrors trio Of such conflicts—if not 6- it blood, yet surely conflicts ardent, energetic, desperatr-s, is scarcely possible not to surmise that the world is e ll on the eve. The more the civilized world become s t i f rapidity . of . intercourse one family, the more prominee'n't will the differences upon these great questions er a et e e t. themselves, and the more urgently will they dematte.,;, $ tlement. But there is a deeper ground for seticiPs ti- V mortal struggle of religions. The accumulated forees o o scientific knowledge for the la-t two centuries, on the or side—of knowledge gained by pure inductive habits os t $ posed to dogmatic and a priori maxims,—the claht l °to( single infallible human authority on the most import°- eta, all subjects of thought, on thecther,—principles in the selves almost necessarily hostile, have been frownt e i n d; each other from their adverse hills for a long pe rl ",o , skirmishes of the outposts, and one fierce and sortie 0 11 gegement at the close of the last century—have aij e f et taken place ; but the decisive trial of strength has ne,',.; 0 0 come. The wild onslaught of the French Bevoi, e ,;, s (l upon all religions, decided nothing, and almost Revs laced nothing; its literary oracles knew no Christianity h i .,el, - " r is , the Roman superstition ; to assail it they assailed '',„" jth tianity itself ; the world at large could not go along a to this monstrous tactic, and all things speedily returned of their old positions arid relations. It is the idle vs e ) t "heir French writers to exaggerate the permanent effects e' bare revolution ; few remarkable chances in civil affa ir s a t the really had so little. Compare it for one moment o 'l' Adel Reformation of the sixteenth century; the abortive te o 'i ie l reformation, with the real and successful Protestant th In truth, Christianity in its main elements has so te e 10 cable a hold in the ground of man's nature ; it so graTirbir with his heart of hearts, and implicates itself with sleet deepest feelings, that no attempt at its universal „„ f irt► throw will ever—some unimaginable conjecture :roil! have a chance of lasting success ; the great cent!"
