Of the 137 mentioned by the learned Judge, nine only could read and write. REPEAL ASSOCIATION. — There was .a complete monster meeting at Conciliation-hall on Monday week. Every portion of that extensivebuilding was packed. Mr. Lamie Murray, the defeated candidate at Drogheda, presided. Reynolds, M.P., delivered a remarkable speech. If rough eloquence, great presence of mind, coolness, and political courage, be of value to an agitator, John bids fair to be the richest on this side of the channel.

FATAL ACCIDENT.—WiIIiam Winter, while in a state of intoxication, fell into a cellar in Porter-street on Mon day, and died the following day. Had the cellar been railed in, human life in this, as in many other instances, would not have been sacrificed.

PROGRES4 OF CIVILIZATION.—We hear from the Sandwich Islands of the establishment of a boarding school for young ladies. This establishment is kept by an English lady, at Honoslolu, the capital. Another proof of this progress is from the Antipodes. The editor of the Athen*uum acknowledges the receipt, from Hobart Town, of a catalogue of the first exhibition of paintings recently opened there. The fact is, indeed, worthy of re . . cord ; for, as our contemporarary rightly says, it is "illus trative of the advance of civilization, which has always iional fact attendant thereon—viz., that no less an artist than the Bishop of Tasmania himself figures with credit among the exhibitors. These are strange but satisfactory things to be happening in a place of which it might have been recently said, as a traveller once said of the Carse of Gowrie, that it wanted water in summer, fire in winter, and the grace of God all the year round. The news from the Cape of Good Hope is to the 12th of June. The Kaffirs had resumed their depredations on the frontier farmers, and it was impossible for isolated families within twenty miles of the border to feel other- „vise than insecure. At no former period had the pros , pects of the eastern districts been more gloomy, as re cen t 'experience had proved the inconceivable difficulty of pro tecting agricultural property against marauders armed : - witk guns and mounted on horses. Guns were becoming more and more the choice weapons of the natives. ” The new line of policy towards the Kafirs,,, says the Graham's Town. Journal, " is to make arrangements for the location of the.rebellious chiefs. It is thought that the mischie vous propensities of the common Kafirs can be more effectually checked and controlled through the influence -.of the chief s an d head men, than by direct interference with the barbaric mass. Acting, then, upon this princi ple, it is proposed to assign to certain chiefs certain por tions of territory, to lay down certain regulations for their ,suidance, to hold them responsible for the good order and peaceful conduct of certain kraals, and to punish every ~;ohief or head man on the spot who refuses to punish any vffqp,der amongst his people."

A very fine sample of new wheat was shown in Taunton market on Saturday ; and we were informed that a farmer had fifty-five stitches of wheat in one acre, which is an increase of twenty-five upon his last year's crop, and much finer grain.— Taunton Courier. SALE OF GROWING CROP.—These sales have been un usually numerous in this quarter—arising, it is under stood, from the expiry of leases at the next term. Prices continue to rule rather high, considering the state and prospects of the grain market, but this is accounted for by the excellence of the crops. Wheat has brought as high as 2s. the pole, and the average of good quality is from that price down to ls. Bd. This is equivalent to £2O the Scots acre. The highest of oats, we have heard, was at the Newton, where it ranged from Is. 2d. to Is. 6d. the pole; and barley from 10d. to ls. 3d. These prices indi cate crops considerably above an average.—Perth Courier. THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS IN CHESHIRE, AUG. 12.—Although a considerable amount of rain has fallen since our last, yet we hear few complaints of grain crops lodging. The oats are looking truly beautiful, and we ex pect the harvest of this grain will be much beyond the average. There is also pretty well of straw, which will be very acceptable to the dairy farmer, who saves his better hay until calving time, by means of such useful articles. It is delightful to ; - witness the immense progress made by the green crops in general within the last fortnight, and to re flect that an abundance of such will be ready to assist in al leviating any inconvenience which might arise through a partial failure in the potato. Of the latter crop we can say little new ; the disease still progresses, though we conceive at a somewhat milder ratio than it did the last year. If this impression be correct, we would charge it on depression of temperature, which is, we conceive, the best antagonist of the disease. We have an opinion, backed, we think, by strong facts in the last two years, that when the dark rot is descending the stem, the sooner the haulm and the potatoes part company the better. It will soon become a grave question with thousands, whe ther to act, or to remain supine in this affair. We have known them well preserved by hoging them above the ground level, puttingly alternately a layer of soil and a layer of potatoes. By these means one great object was effected, viz., the prevention of feroentation ; or if such teog place its rapid escape or dispersion, i the two repea alers re- CHEPSTOW.—ELECTION RIOTS AND Loss OF LIFE. —This town on Wednesday was in a state of anarchy and The lower orders were so excited by drink as confusion fn hp naafi openly attacked by the mob at the hustings, and on that and the preceding night the houses of his friends were attacked with such fury that not only the glass but the shutters were destroyed. The residence of respected vicar was not spared. On Wednesday evening waggon ling barrels of beer for the mob was drawn byrail way labourers through the principal streets; on descend ing the High-street its impetus overcame them and several fell, the waggon upset, and seven persons were severely injured, one of whom is since dead. The deceased was a young surgeon, recently become a resident in Chepstow, and who so far forgot himself as to ride in the waggon ; he fell out on his head and had his skull fractured. A. navigator also was so much injured that little hope is en tertained of his recovery. On Thursday night, the mob having ceased to be supplied with drink, the town was blessed with the return of peace and quietness.

Many more examples might be cited.—Railway Chronicle. THE TIMES AND THE LANDLORDS. - The death of Mr. Walter has let loose the madness of the Times. His was the guiding hand of that great engine, we are told : tone from his own mind. The clog is now removed, and the machine is whirling along in the full swing of demo- cratic madness. An article in that journal of - last Thurs day probably exceeds in foul vituperation and unscrupu lous lying anything that ever yet appeared in the lowest dijuling, instead - of answering those who differ from his patron, and conscientiously believe, as well they may, that free-trade is fraught with no blessings to this land ; but he directly charges them with crimes that deserve the gallows. There is no delicacy about the matter : the style is of the pure " brick-bat-and-bludgeon" order. " Your Bentincks, your Yorkes, your Newdegates, your Felloweses," and all who think with them, are neither more nor less than robbers and murderers—" a blessed company of faithful men, who in all the righteousness of robbery are able to look down on us sinners"—a set of " agricultural freebooters," whose great commandment is, thou shalt steal," whose godliness is gain," and who despise honest men, "as the Highland robber did his shopkeeping, law-keeping cousin : they enjoy the calm delights, if not of successful spoil, at least of an unim paired zest for it." These are the terms which the great prop of the Peel-policy applies to the landed gentry of ' England. THE BARNARD CASTLE " Bows." — Considerable ex citement preyailed in this town on Wednesday week in consequence of Mr. Farrer having announced his inten tion to address the electors from the King's Head Inn, at three o'clock in the afternoon. At the appointed time his carriage drove up to the inn, where he was received with deafening yells and hisses from the assemblage ; and in front of the inn was stationed a man dressed in red (Mr. F.'s colour), mounted on a donkey, and carrying an effigy suspended on a gibbet. Another person carried a pole, on the top of which was a loaf of bread), and underneath, in large letters, " Protection is shaken !" Sundry other devices were exhibited, demonstrative of the popular feeling towards Mr. Ferrer ; and, on his appearance on the bal cony, a disgraceful scene ensued. He was saluted with a perfect shower of penny rolls and red herrings, accom panied by the most discordant noises imaginable ; and seventeen squares of glass in the windows were demolished. All this he bore very patiently, and made several attempts to speak. He could not, however, obtain a hearing, the crowd being determined to " put him down." Mr. Mor ritt, of Rokeby Hall, next made his appearance; and although a popular man in the district, he could not in duce the crowd to hear Mr. Farrer. One person in the crowd attracted Mr. Morritt's attention, and he threw him a shilling, remarking that he deserved more for being so uncommonly clever at making " a d — d ugly face.' After other drolleries, Mr. Morritt said, " will you hear Mr. Farrar)" and he was answered with a tremendous "No !" He then withdrew, and Mr, Farrer very wisely got into his carriage at the back part of the inn, and was some distance from Barnard Castle ere the crowd were aware of his departure, No further disturbance took place, the crowd quietly dispersing. During the row a boy got his thigh broken by one of the carriage h orses .— Gateshead Observer, the 16th of April, with a miscellaneous cargo ; the crew comprising the master, mate and five seamen. On the night of the 21st, five days after she had left Liverpool, a three-masted vessel was observed bearing down upon her. The crew attempted to get clear, but in a few moments the vessels came in contact with frightful force, the bows -4,;„ can.y:-....wav the w' - 4 the larbo urge Snip leg side of the schooner, which, filling almost immediately, foundered in sixty fathoms water. Two of the crew of the Albatross, who were on deck, succeeded in saving them selves by laying hold of the rigging of the ship, and were preserved. The other poor fellows, however, who were in to be a Spanish ship called the Nonpareil, bound for Port au-Prince, in the island of St. Domingo. She' conveyed the two survivors to that place, and their distressed con dition being relieved, arrangements were made for their safe return to England. On W^A-- Wednesday last, the foundation stone of a new re- [ence, ca a, was —a , brated by a large party of the friends of the owner, Mr. Clarke, of Church-street, who were provided with a most _ . erected for the purpose. The stone was laid by Mr. J. Quick, who made it the occasion of giving a retrospective description of the progress in importance of Liverpool like energies, enterprise, and generosity of its intended resident. On the conclusion of the ceremony, the com pany adjourned to a repast provided, and after doing full justice to the viads, partook of the excellent and various wines, while each toast was so happily relieved by a short reply, a merry song, or the enlivening notes of the at tendant band, that the hilarity prevailing so drove the thought of time away, that it was not till darkness was drawing nigh, that birth was given to the thought of se paration, which was consummated only in the hope that the day was not far distant when they might again meet under the auspices of Mr. Clarke, to celebrate a similar event. TEMERITY PUNISHED.—We have frequently been much annoyed by silly people at the Zoological Gardens, who, taking advantage of the absence of the keepers, tease the poor imprisoned animals by various tricks and annoyances. Some will puff the fumes of their cigars at the caged owls and falcons, others insult the poor imprisoned eagles by casting handfuls of soil over them. while not a few in_ dulge in the cowardly pastime of poking their sticks into the ribs of the larger carnivori, which they know to be prevented from resenting the injury by the intervening iron bars. Some fool-hardy individuals will even put their hands in between the irons, a most dangerous experiment for those who do not know the tempers of the respective animals ; for while some (of the leopards for instance,) are so quiet that they woo the fondling hand with all the happy solicitude of a domestic cat, others are so fierce that they would tear an arm to the bone in an instant. On Tuesday last a strange gentleman took to teasing one of the lions with his stick, till he ex asperated the animal beyond measure. The lordly beast at length seized the stick and broke it instantly to pieces. It is supposed that the man put his hand within the bars to recover his stick ; be that as it may, the hand was seized by the lion, and before the keeper could rescue it by driv ing the animal off, it was severely lacerated. It is erro neously stated by one of our contemporaries that the bars of the cage were broken. Any person who will examine the bars will at once perceive the impossibility of such an accident. The bars are of prodigious strength, and would, we should think, resist the efforts of an elephant to break them. Not one of the bars was in the slightest degree injured ; such an accident could not happen. ACCIDENTS ON THE RIVER.—On Tuesday morning an accident of a very serious, and, we regret to add, of a fatal character, occurred on the river. At eight o'clock, a Prussian barque of moderate size, named the Edouard, was what is called " dodging " up the river under her top sails, waiting for sufficient water to dock and discharge the cargo, some say of timber, others of corn, with which she was heavily laden from Danzig. When she got abreast of the Brunswick Dock Pier, she struck on a " spit " or bank, which has for years been known to form there at this season, and which runs out a considerable distance into the river in the direction of Rock Ferry. She immedi ately capsized. Her keel was visible from the shore, and it is supposed that the yards, which struck right down wards, prevented her from rolling completely over. Three of the hands, consisting of the mate, carpenter, and a sea man, the latter of whom was lying sick in the forecastle, were instantly drowned ; and the wonder seems to he how every soul on board did not perish with them. Fortu nately, however, the rest of the crew contrived to lay hold of some of the ropes, and to hold themselves up until they were able to clamber up the side of the hull that was out of the water, where they remained until a couple of tug-steamers put off, and took the whole of them, ten in number, on board. The Edouard remained on the bank until the tide rose, and she was drifted about four miles up the river to a bank c„..ffied the Snuff Mill Bank, where she at present lies. The name of her captain is Kranse. There was a pilot on boar. 1 at the time of the accident, and he was ignorant of the existence of the newly-formed bank off the Brnnswick Pie:. or he never would have taken the vessel near it, and in .such shoal water. Two other accidents occurred on the rive:. _ vessel broke her back in front of the Coburg Dock , ,an ,d. the Fingal from Quebec, while attempting to dock , toofr , • the ground, and when she came off on the flood she was 'flaking much water. Berson, the self-taught Scottish sculptor, whose former groups, (Tam O'Shanter, &c.,) were deservedly admired in this and other towns, has again visited us with several new groups, the principal of which are " Tam O'Shanter and kirten Jean;" and" Watty and Meg." They are all cut out of solid stone, with what may be termed classical fidelity to the character of the Scottish peasantry whom they represent, and which the respective bards, Burns and Wilson, have so admirably described in song. Tam and Kirton Jean are each cut out of a block of stone, which weighed from the quarry two tons (four in all). Tam is seated on a massive chair, with the dram glass in his hand ; and Jean sits o posite to aim on a stool (all cut in the stone), with the bottle on her knee. The passage in Burns selected for the group is that ending,— "That at L-d's house even on Sunday, Thou drank wi' Kirton Jean till Monday." s face as he lis- think that in the course of the coming week the bulk vim' be in hattocks. With regard to the potatoes, we are most anxious that all we state should be well considered. It has been our care to make a personal examination of the crop, from time to time, as far as our opportunities would allow, and it is now about a fortnight since that we disco vered the return of last year's blight. At that time the progrens of decay was very rapid, and undoubtedly, had it continued at the same rate, all our fields would by this have become the blackened mass they presented last year. of the We are happy to say, however, that the progrE blight seems to have been stopped in a great measure The plants, though much cut up at the lower part of the stem. vet show fresh and verdant at the unner nortionst and look far better than we expected. The . produce be low is understood to be enormous in point of number, and if the disease discontinues, the probability is that we shall have plenty of potatoes and to spare, but they will be of an average smaller than in times gone by we should have )een con that our hopes of the crop are much higher than they w ere last week, or even the beginning of the present. —Lan- caster Gazelle, EXTENSIVE FIRE IN MANCHESTER.—On Wednesday evening, about half-past seven o'clock, a most extensiv e fire broke out in the principal thoroughfare of Manchester , Market-street ; and an entire block of buildings bounded by Market-street, New Brown-street, Pool-street, a nd Swan-lane was completely destroyed together with the tailoring establishment of Mr. Hewitt, which was sepa rated from the pile of buildings by Pool-street ; and the upper story of Messrs.
