TIIE IMPORTANCE OF PEEL What's in a nam reme contest, eal. o he redrest, stands Peel. r wrong [st both What d Rind, A O r lea' N o ott N m proportton We stake nr low and f the I 1 the exhilaration and refreshment of body and mind. A bird consists in the expulsion of pernicious e who are accustomed to much exercis eachexy, dropsy, or hypochondriacism. For, to y the truth, an idle way of life, particularly where small portion of fluid is taken into the stomach, rue parent of all diseases that arise from an im thickness of the blood, and have obstruction of the internal parts for t nothing in the world is a more certain and efficacious preservative, than a sufficiency of kdily motion. It excels every medicine that can be recommended for the preservation of health, and prevention of diseases; and in this view may justly be called a panacea, as it not only removes the cause of disorders, but is an effectual means of strengthening the body and keeping it in a proper tone." (Huguenin.) ie other `t Corporeal exercise, to be health-promotive in the largest degree," remarks Davis, " must not only be cheerful, and partaken of under exhilarating circum stances,—not like that taken in the most solemn of all processions,' as Dr. Combe happily designates the pub lic promenade of a ladies' boarding-school, —but should be allowed to combine the various faculties in an unla borious, easy, and somewhat playful display of agility. _ _ The mind should be unbent and occupied with no pressing care or intense thought during the hours of exercise, which, in this way, should truly be hours of relaxation. Health has much more to do with unre strained freedom, and a cheerfulness approaching to gaiety,—with " ' Sport that wrinkled Care derides, And Laughter, holding both his sides,' (L'Allegro, __ In every thing Whether for woe r A natio Or pudding ma Does cook with cook in contest vie To mince the tender veal— Do oran Yon s' 'serve the Peel, )antly demand z. and feel eart and hand— why.

A walk without an object seldom tends to the refreshment of either mind or body. It is true, in some cases, the benefit expected to be derived from the walk may itself be a sufficient stimulus to sustain the continuance of the effort without Ragging ; still the agreeable conversation of a friend is enough to double the benefits derived from the exercise, by maintaining a pleasing excitation in the mind, and thus administering to the instinctive desire for activity before alluded to. Those pent up in close cities, and engaged in sedentary pursuits, have a hidden treasure in the kingdoms of nature of inestimable value to them, that, like the treasure concealed in the vineyard left by the old man in the fable to his sons, only requires to be sought for in order to be enjoyed. A taste for natural beauties is within the attainment of all; and the more systematic study of natural objects will be found of the easiest acquirement where the desire for it is once lighted up in the mind. That such is the case is proved by the fact, that many of the most extensive collections of na tural productions, such as birds, insects, plants, and minerals, have been made by working men during their hours of relaxation : and it is well known that it is amongst this class that gardening is, in one sense, car ried to its highest perfection. There is a charm in the contemplation of Nature of exquisite sweetness. The skill, beauties, and adaptation everywhere displayed in z an unpublished Manuscript, by a Physician of her productions, excite the keenest admiration ; and the Liverpool.) habitual study of them imparts to the mind such sooth ing .ensations, such a peacefulness of thought and feel ing, such a harmony of soul, as is derived from no other source. Indeed, viewing nature in this light, its capa bilities, and the boundless extent and variety of its objects, which no mind even confined to a narrow sphere of earth can ever exhaust in its own field alone, seem to point it out as designed to be the grand corrective of the errors and excesses of civilized life, as a shoreless sea of XTRACPS FOR DIRECTIYG, delight, ever at hand, and ever suited for civilized man AND CAUTIONING PEDESTRIANS ON to lave his weary powers in, and thus to be continually SUNDRY MATTERS-SCRAPS FOR REFLECTION IN THE refreshed and reinvigorated COUNTRY-POETICAL GLEANINGS AND SCENIC EF- I his name, would you o'erthrow, Tis but a—w 's common weal ? word and a blow, !e this be so, let's ever peal ^l3 high, stop repeal, 11EDICUS FROM OUR LAST.)

DOVv'NFAL OF THE REPEAL SYMPATHY IN AMERICA (From "Martin Chuzzlewit," by Boz.) The General rose to read a letter to the Public Man, which with his own hands he had written. " Thus," said the General, fellow-citizens, it runs: " SIR, ` thus, my friends and " ' I address you on behalf of the Watertoast Associa tion of United Sympathisers. It is founded, sir, in the great republic of America! and now holds its breath, and swells the blue veins in its forehead nigh to bursting, as it watches, sir, with feverish intensity and sympathetic ardour, your noble efforts in the cause of Freedom.' " At the name of Freedom, and at every repetition of that name, all the Sympathisers roared aloud; cheering with nine times nine, and nine times over. "' In Freedom's name, sir—holy Freedom—l address you. In Freedom's name, I send herewith a contribution to the funds of your Society. In Freedom's name, sir, I advert with indignation and disgust to that accursed ani mal, with gore-stained whiskers, whose rampant cruelty and fiery lust have ever been a scourge, a torment, to the world. The naked visitors to Crusoe's Island, sir ; the flying wives of Peter Wilkins ; the fruit-smeared children of the tangled bush ; nay, even the men of large stature, anciently bred in the mining districts of Cornwall ; alike bear witness to its savage nature. Where, sir, are the Cormorans, the Blunderbores, the Great Feefofums, named in History ? All, all, exterminated by its destroy ing hand. " ' I allude, sir, to the British Lion. " ' Devoted, mind and body, heart and soul, to Free dom, sir—to Freedom, blessed solace to the snail upon the cellar-door, the oyster in his pearly bed, the still mite in his home of cheese, the very winkle of your coun try in his shelly lair—in her unsullied name, we offer you our sympathy. Oh, sir, in this our cherished and our happy land, her fires burn bright and clear and smoke less : once lighted up in yours, the lion shall be roasted whole. " I am, sir, in Freedom's name, " ' Your affectionate friend and faithful Sympathiser, " CYRUS CHOKE, " General, U.S.M.' " It happened that just as the General began to read this letter, the railroad train arrived, bringing a new mail from England ; and a packet had been handed in to the Secre tary, which, during its perusal and the frequent cheerings in homage to freedom, he bad opened. Now, its contents disturbed him very much, and the moment the General sat down, he hurried to his side, and placed in his hand a letter and several printed extracts from English news papers • to which, in a state of infinite excitement, he called leis immediate attention. The General, being greatly heated by his own composi tion, was in a fit state to receive any inflammable influ ence ; but he had no sooner possessed himself of the contents of these documents, than a change came over his face, involving such a huge amount of choler and passiun, that the noisy concourse were silent in a mo ment, in_verywonder at the sight of him. _ " My friends !" cried the General, rising ; " my friends and fellow-citizens, we have been mistaken in this man." " In what man ? " was the cry. " In this," panted the General, holding up the letter he had read aloud a few minutes before. " I find that he has been, arid is, the advocate—consistent in it always too —of Nigger emancipation ! If anything beneath the sky be real, those Sons of Freedom would have pistolled, stabbed—in some way slain—that man by coward hands and murderous violence, if he had stood among them at that time. The most con fiding of their own countrymen would not have wagered then —no, nor would they ever peril—one dunghill straw, upon the life of any man in such a strait. They tore the letter, cast the fragments in the air, trod down the pieces as they fell ; and yelled, and groaned, and hissed, till they could cry no longer. " I shall move," said the General, when he could make himself heard, " that the Watertoast Association of Uni ted Sympathisers be immediately dissolved ! " Down with it ! Away with it ! Don't hear of it ! Burn its records ! Pull the room down ! Blot it out of human memory ! " But, my fel ! said the General, the contributions.low-countrymen "We have f un d s . What is to be done with the funds?" It was hastily resolved that a piece of plate should be presented to a certain constitutional Judge, who had laid down from the Bench the noble principle, that it was• lawful for any white mob to murder any black man; and that another piece of plate, of similar value, should be presented to a certain Patriot, who had declared from his high place in the Legislature, that he and his friends would hang, without trial, a n y Ab o li t i on i st who might pay them a visit. For the surplus, it was agreed that it should be devoted to aiding the enforcement of those free and equal laws, which render it incalculably more critni_ nal and dangerous to teach a negro to read and write than to roast him alive in a public city. The se po i nts adjusted, the meeting broke up in great disorder : and there was an end of the Watertoast Sympathy.

Lord Stanley, it is said, is to " keep house " during the vacation ; it being necessary that one of the principat secreteries of state should be a the seat of government. We understand that Lord and Lady Francis Egerton are passing the antumn at Worsley Hall. The Stingo Brewery, situate at Paddington, London, was partially consumed by fire on Friday morning last. The damage is estimated at many thousand pounds. Espartero, and the members of his late administration, have been admitted honorary members of the Reform Club. The average price of Wheat for the last six weeks hav ing reached 58s. 4d. the duty on the importation of foreign grain last week receded to 14s. per quarter, below which amount it is not expected to fall. The Presbytery of Edinburgh have refusfA to consider the proposition of the Town Council, to reduce the num. ber of ministers in that city in consequence of the late secession. The Rev. Robert Aitkin commenced his labours at St. James's Church, Leeds, on Sunday week, when he preached twice to crowded congregations with his usua► fervid eloquence. We understand that Mr. J. W Allen, who has been so popular with the Art Union purchasers, bas gone into Yorkshire for designs for his next year's landscapes— Atlas. REORGANIZATION 'OF THE CHARTISTS.—A new Char tist convention, similar to that which existed in London in 1839-40, is about being formed, which is to hold its sittings in Birmingham. MIDDLESEX REGISTRATION.—The Anti-Corn-Law League have served about 2000 of the conservative elec tors of Middlesex with notices of objection to their votes, most of which are utterly frivolous and vexatious. During the past week a venerable lady in the 97th year of her age, of Epworth, was seen shearing in the Wryest field ; she cut two sheaves of wheat, aad tied them Op in a workmanlike manner. Mr. Andrew Doyle, the barrister, who last week mar- ried the youngest daughter of Sir John Easthope. Bart., M.P., is the new editor of the Morning Chronicle, (vice Dr. Black,) of which the Hon. Bart. is a principal pro prietor. The Rev. H. Caswall, author of the "History of the Mormons," late of the Amercan Episcopal Church, having been ordained under the provisions of a special act of Par liament recently passed, has been licensed by the Bishop of Salisbury to the curacy of Downton Wilts. On Saturday week in what is called a ladder pit, in Moss Lane, Swinton, belonging tq the trustees of the late Duke of Bridgewater, a boy was suffocated by the car bonic acid gas generated there, and several others were drawn up insensible, but recovered. There is now growing in a most prosperous state a crop of oats, beans, and potatoes, sown and set 12th of May, upon a window sill in the Queen's Bench Prison, in a due north aspect, forty-four feet from the ground, without a particle of soil beyond tea leaves. A regatta will take place at Lancaster, on the 12th of September, under the patronage of Lord Stanley and J. W. Patten, Esq., the members for North Lancashire, and Thomas Greene and George Marton, Esqrs., the repre sentatives of the borough. EARLY HOURS.—ne linen drapers of London have commenced closing their shops at eight, exact time, and are about to make arrangements for closing at seven during the winter months—November, December, Janu ary, and February. The MARKET for METALS is generally firmer, but no advance has been ascertained in any article excepting bar iron, and it is only certain that a sale of 400 tons has taken place by one of the great Welsh establishments at £4 2s. 6d. per ton.—Birmingham paper. A LONG SHEET OF PAPER.—MT. Limbird, of the Strand, has a sheet of paper four feet seven inches wide, GOO yards long, and weighs 1371b5. It is of fine texture, and has been made expressly for the purpose of taking im pressions of monumental brasses. The sum of £l,OOO has been granted by government, at the request of the British Association, towards defraying the expenses of printing the reduced catalogue of stars of Lalande and Lacoille, purposed under the superintendence of Mr. J. Baily and Professor Henderson. THE LATE SESSION.-It appears, from a parliamentary return, that from the 2d of February to the 17E6 of Aug., the house sat 119 days, and three Saturdays ; the hours of sittings were 9864, and it sat 1054 after midnight; making the average time of sitting on each occasion 8 hou'rs and 17 minutes. COLLEGE HONOURS.—At the recent commencement of Transilvania university, the degree of D. D. was con ferred on the Rev. Beverley Waugh, Bishop of the Meth odist Episcopal Church, and the Rev. James Dixon, of England, late president of the Wesleyan Conference.— New York paper. At the Central Criminal Court, London, bn Monday, Mr. Bernard Gregory, of the Satirist, was arraigned at the prosecution of the Duke of Brunswick, and having withdrawn his plea of " Not Guilty," was enlarged on bail on two sureties in £2OO each, and himself in £4OO, to come up for judgment at the beginning of next session. BIBLIOGRAPHY.—The Congreve manuscripts, valued at £2,000, were sold by auction on the 19th inst. at Iscoyd Park, Salop, to Mr. Andrews, of Bristol, for £3 13s. they were lotted in the printed sale catalogue " a b out 8 0 MSS. and black letter ditto, in vellum."—Keenes Bath Journal. THE TEA TRADE, Aug. 28—The market has been quiet, but steady as regards the prices realized ; and the public sales of about 35,000 packages to-morrow will probably give it a tone. The deliveries were large last week, bein g 538,0551 b. Next week we may anticipate the arrival of Overland express. FIRST POCKET OF NEW Hops.—The interesting event to the hop trade of the arrival of the " first pocket" tosk place on Wednesday. The price at which it was inarn e _ diately sold was £8 per cwt. It was grown by Mr. Reay, of Birling. The duty is called £140,000, and business is dull.—London paper. On the night of Friday week, at Woodburn Terrac e , near Douglas, Isle of Man, Mrs. Stephen, wife of Mr. j. Stephen, draper, was accidentally burnt to death by her clothes taking fire from a lighted candle, which she held. A servant who heard her screams, thought that the ho use was on fire, jumped out of the window, and was severely injured. ANOTHER CONVERT TO ROMANISM.—We can state i t as a fact, that the'Rev. Daniel Parsons, curate of Mard en, Wilts, long known as a Tractarian, has seceded t o the Church of Rome. Private reasons will for the present prevent his becoming a priest, but he is to assume, a s we are informed, the office of teacher in some Popish esta blishment.—London Record. IMPROVEMENTS IN S HIP i CABLES.—Amongst th e pa tents granted in August s one to James Bro wn , o f N o. 2, High -street-place, White-horse-lane, Stepney, E sq., engineer, for certain improvements in tackle and apparatus for working and using chain cables in ships and otherwise ; and also certain improvements in the tillers of rudders of ships and other vessels. FATAL ACCIDENTS. — Two terrible accidents happened on the works of the Newcastle and Darlington Junction Railway, near Darlington, on Wednesday last. In the morning a boy was killed by some waggons running over him ; and in the evening a married man of the name of John Wright, who has a family, was killed by some earth falling on him whilst at work. The Bank of England has given notice that they will " receive applications for loans upon the deposit of ap proved bills of exchange not having 'pore than six months to run, Exchequer-bills, and East India Bonds ; such loans to be repaid on or before the 19th of October next, with interest at the rate of £3 per centum per annum, and to be for sums not less than £2,000 each." SINGULAR SIGN OF THE TIMES.—The clerk of the Wakefield Gas Light Company tendered his resignation to the directors of that body recently because he was un able to obtain the payment of their outstanding accounts, without resorting to harsh measures which he was unwil ling to do. His resignation was not accepted.—Leeds Mercury. The Emigrant Ship Catherine, of Belfast, which sailed from Scotland about six weeks ago with some 300 High. land emigrants, after being many days at sea was obliged to put back, and has recently arrived at Belfast. Such was her leaky state that after the crew had been knocked up it became necessary to order both men and women passengers to the pumps to keep the vessel afloat. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. LCOND EDITION. Standard-office, Twelve o'clock ANOTHER STEAMER TOTALLY WRECKED LOSS OF THE QUEEN STEAM-PACKET. (From yesterday's Dublin Mail.) Mr. Hare, of Bristol, a passenger in the ill-starred vessel, has kindly furnished us with the particulars of this calamity. The Queen steam-packet, Capt. Gardner, started from Bristol on Friday last, at ha'f-past ten o'clock, p.m. with a valuable cargo and passengers ; and at eleven o'clock same night, being suddenly enveloped with a dense fog, struck on a rock in Jack's Sound off Milford Haven, and in less than half-an-hour went to the bottom. The cargo is en tirely lost; but it gives us inexpressible pleasure to add that, with the exception of an old man, a dealer in pigs, who is supposed to have fallen asleep in the forehold, the passengers and crew (upwards of 50) were rescued from a watery grave. Shortly after the Queen had struck, a coasting vessel, named the Hope, most providentially hove in sight, and, with the promptitude and humanity which distinguish British sailors, came to the rescue just in time to save all lives on board (with the one exception above mentioned). The vessel foundered in less than five minutes after. Amongst the passengers who are indebted to Providence for this timely rescue, were Mrs. Latouche and family, of Marley ; the Rev. Doctor and Mrs. Handcock ; Mr. Hare, of Bristol ; Rev. Mr. Bredan, Mr. Crosbie, and many othe►s, whose names we have not been able to as certain. They all reached Milford in safety. • CONSISTENCY OF DISSENYERS.—The Town Council of Stirling, almost all Dissenters, have declared, in answer to applications from the congregations of the vacant churches in that place, of which they are the patrons, that they will pay no attention to the recommendation of the congregations in the appointment of ministers, but will fill them up on their own responsibility. SHOCKING ACCIDENT.—AS the Forester coach was passing along the road at Four-post on wednesday morn ing, a four-wheel chaise, in consequence of the horse becoming restiff, was driven in the way of the coach, and a collision took place, by which the chaise was broke to pieces, and a lady, a relative of the Rev. Mr Poynder, was thrown out and unfortunately had her leg broken.—Hants Independent. DISTRESSING EVENT.—On Thursday night a dis tressing event happened in one of our herring boats. When about returning to land, a fisherman, named Richard Robertson. while doing something about the mast or sail of the boat, lost his balance, and. in falling overboard, was caught hold of by another of the crew, Alexander Baxter, but he was unable to save him, and, in the generous attempt to do so, was also dragged into the sea, and both perished.—Aberdeen Paper. PROVIDENTIAL ESCAPE.—The inhabitants of North street, Lambeth, were alarmed on Sunday evening by a loud noise, which was ultimately found to proceed from the residence of a poor man, situate No. 4, James-place, North -street, the ceiling of which, with part of the roof, bad fallen into the bedroom. In bed was the youngest child, which was miraculously, saved. Had it been two hours later, other branches of the family would have been in bed, and nothing could have saved them from instant death. As it is, the damage of the house, and the entire destruction of the poor man's stock in trade, is the extent of the loss. THE LANCASHIREWH EELER.—OnTuesday,theLanca shire wheeler, from Oldham, undertook a journey from Oldham to Liverpool, a distance of 43 miles, with his wheel-barrow, containing a bag of cotton flocks, weigh ing 2381b5. He started from Oldham at ten o'Clock in the forenoon, and arrived in Liverpool on the following evening. There were hundreds of spectators present to see him off; likewise in Liverpool to see him come in. He was gaily adorned with ribbons all over his arms and cap : he had a sign -board in the front, bearing the follow. ing inscription :—Ralph Kershaw, the celebrated Lanca shire wheeler from Oldham, and carrier to all parts of England." REVISING BARRISTERS ON THE NORTHERN CIRCUIT. —The following appointments have been made by Mr. Justice Wightmati North Lancashire Boroughs,— Stephen Temple, Esq. South Lancashire,—Henry Law rence, Esq. ; Richard Matthews, Esq. South Lancashire Boroughs,—T. H. Marshall. Esq.; the Hon. Richard Denman. Cumberland and Westmorland,—J. W. Har den, Esq. ; Frederick Pollock, Esq. Yorkshire North Riding,— Woronzow Gres, Esq. East Riding.— R. Wharton, Esq. West Riding,—William Gray, Esq. ; Sir F. H. Doyle, Bart. ; P. A. Pickering, Esq. Northum berland and Durham,—T. J. Hogg, Esq. ; W. Blanchard, Esq. ; Deacon, Esq. DREADFUL MILL ACCIDENT.—On friday a sad acci dent occurred at the Hollins Mill near Halifax, through one of those machines vulgarly called;" the dole." It ap pears that a woman (who is a widow and resides at Elland) had newly come to work at this mill ' • getting her meals at a house very n e a rly contiguous. At five o'clock the little girl of this house (whose name is Harriet Bates) went into the mill to tell the widow woman her tea was ready ; when she was caught in " the dole." The woman boldly attem ted to rescue her from a dreadful death ; but " the dole"' proved itself too strong. Both of the unfortunate females were dragged within its iron teeth ; from which only their lifeless bodies were afterwards rescued. So dreadfully had the merciless engine done its horrid work that the body of the girl could not at first be found; until it was discovered literally doubled up in that of the woman. FATAL RESULT OF AN AMOUR.—On Saturday an in quest was held at Knightsbridge, on the body of Mary Edridge, aged 22. From the evidence, it appeared that the deceased had been in service. On Wednesday last, her mistress went out for a walk, but suddenly returned in consequence of the rain. She had not been long in the house before she observed the deceased to be much con fused, and to go several times up to her bedroom. Mrs. Stafford thought her conduct strange, and was going to the drawing-room when she saw a soldier standing behind the door. She fell into hysterics, and upon her recovery, the deceased was gone. On the following morning it was discovered that she had thrown herself into the Serpen tine. Search was made for the body, but it was not found until Friday. THREATENED STRIKE OF THE SOUTH STAFFORD SHIRE MINERS.—The men have served notice on the masters that they will strike work in 14 days, unless they received 6d. a day additional wages. They are at present receiving, on an average, 2s. 3d. a-day, while some few superior workmen are paid 10s. The general opinion is that the contemplated strike is at the suggestion of some few wealthy masters, who have plenty of coal and iron ready for sale, in order that they may reduce to insolvency the small masters, and that they may thus avail them selves of the favourable change that has taken place in the trade. Pig iron has been raised 55., and prepared iron 10s. a ton ; and the orders, especially from Liverpool, are very brisk. In consequence of the stoppage of the Dud ley Bank, and the return dishonoured of many bills, all sales are for cash. LAMENTABLE CIRCUMSTANCE.—On Friday morning week two apprentices to Mr. Carter, grocer, of Cowfold, Sussex, arose at five o'clock, with the intent of amusing themselves previously to commencing business for the day. One of them climbed a plum tree, for the purpose of gathering some fruit, and, while seated on some branches, was desired by his companion to come down. He replied that he should not do so till he had gathered some more plums. Upon which his companion put a cap upon the nipple of the percussion lock, and, pointing the gun at the ether, said he would shoot him. This was entirely a joke, it being supposed that the gun was not loaded. The reverse, however, turned out to be the case, for, on the boy pulling the trigger, the contents of the barrel went through his companions head, and be fell from the tree a corpse. The deceased was only seventeen years of age, and the inconsiderate cause of his death two years younger. MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE.—On Friday, the 11th instant, a distressing occurrence took place in the bay of Portree, Skye. Two young men, named Nicholson and Matheson, volunteered to ferry some individuals from Portree to the adjacent island of Rassay. Soon after the individuals in question landed on that island, the, two young men again set sail with the intention of returning home to Portree. As the breeze was moderate, all sails were set. Of a sudden, however, an unexpected squall struck the boat. The main sheet had been foolishly fas tened, and in an instant the boat filled and went down by the stern. Matheson jumped at once into the sea, but Nicholson endeavoured to climb to the rigging, as the boat was sinking. He got probably entangled there, and went to the bottom, to rise no more in life. In less than three minutes after the accident, a small fishing boat bad reached the place, and picked up Matheson.—Perth paper. DANGEROUS SITUATION OF A TRANSPORT-SHIP.— The Tory, transport-ship, which left Woolwich on the Bth June last, in company with the Angelina, for the purpose of carrying certain companies of artillery to America, got on shore on the Municonagan shoals, on the 26th July. Fortunately, having outsailed the Angelina, the last-named vessel came up on the 29th, and, after very numerous efforts, succeeded in taking off part of the women and children. While the latter were in the boats a severe storm arose, during which the husbands and fathers on board the transports, which were thirteen miles apart, were in an agony of suspense. Fortunately, the five boats conveying the women acd children reached the Angelina in safety. Many of the women and children were under the necessity of remaining on board the Tory, and, the storm continuing, tne Angelina left for Q ue b ec . O n her arrival the Unicorn, steam-vessel, was sent to the assist ance of the Tory, and succeeded in towing her to Quebec. All the lives have been saved, and the Tory is not much injured. DEATHS BY LIGHTNING.-00 Sunday night week a very vivid flash of lightning was followed by a most tre mendous burst of thunder, as if the very cloud was falling to the earth, shaking every door and window in the houses. About the same time two lads, one eleven years and the other fourteen, who were walking together under an umbrella, on the road between Leake and Wrangle, were struck by the electric fluid, and killed on the spot. The youngest was very much scorched about the head, face, and neck, and some parts of his body ; the buttons of his waistcoat were all torn off and broken to pieces ; his, neckerchief and shirt were on fire, and burning fiercely when found. He had on a very strong pair of half boots, which were torn to pieces, and thrown off his feet into a ditch; some of his clothes were also torn into shreds, and scattered upon the hedge and road. The elder lad was not so much burnt on the face, but his trousers were rent to atoms, and scattered in all directions; there was scarcely a piece left, as also his stockings ; his shoes like the former ;—even the braces were torn from their backs, and thrown some distance. His shirt was burnt in seve ral places into great holes, and yet their hats were not in jured.--Manchester Guardian. EXECUTION FOR MURDER. — ,Tames Ratcliffe, who was convicted at the late Chester Assizes, of having murdered his wife at Stockport, underwent the extreme sentence of the law in front of the, city gaol at Chester at twelve o'clock on Saturday. Several petitions in behalf of the unhappy culprit, had been forwarded, during the week, to the Home-office. They were, however, without effect. The condemned sermon was preached on Friday, and, at its conclusion, the wretched man partook of the sacra ment, and seemed wholly resigned to his fate. He was, however, very restless and disturbed during the night, and was heard more than once to express a wish that his exe cution should take place at eight instead of twelve o'cl )ck. About a quarter after four on Saturday morning vast mul titudes of the inhabitants thronged the rows and streets. The wretched man appeared unmoved by the presence of the sheriff and officers, and, after having requested per mission to wash himself, a request, of course, immedi ately complied with, he walked with a firm step to the ceßaxerhvti. mr. p i r t o e v d. ided fo r hi s conveyance to the city gaol.

Wh en h e approached the place of execution he b we understand was occasioned by excessive drinking, but, after having entered the condemned celland engaged with the chaplain in fervent prayer, he took off his clogs and stockings and lay down upon the bed for about half an hour, during which he slept soundly. When he awoke he asked for a bowl of coffee, but he was so nervous and his hands so tremulous that the bowl had to be held to his mouth by a turnkey. Exactly as the clock struck twelve he was pinioned and led to the scaffold by the executioneer. All things being ready, the fatal bolt was dra wn , an d h e was launched into eternity, amidst the shrieks of several of his relatives and friends, who bad taken up their position in front of the drop. He struggled several minutes. -,••••••"" LECTURES ON HEAT AND CO' BANKRUPTCY COURT 1 _ con 4 done 1 ;t:p On Tuesday, Dr. Brett delivered, at tl e' ht tution, his fifth lecture on heatand co reb . u t s dreo tbe Al cond under the head of thelatter.

Mr. Evans, solicitor, appeared on behalf of several creditors, to oppose the insolvent, and, on a short examination, elicited from him that he had taken the benefit of the Insolvent Debtors' Act, in 1836; that his debts then were £lOOO, of which he had paid, since his discharge, £2O. The debts in his present schedule were £277, towards the payment of which he showed no assets whatever. Mr. Evans then contended that, inasmuch as the insolvent was a trader, within the meaning of the bankrupt laws, and his debts exceeded £3OO, he could not be entitled to pro tection under this act of Parliament, and, that though his person was discharged as to the debts contained in his former schedule, yet the debts themselves still existed, the remedy for their recovery being only altered. Mr. James appeared for the insolvent, contended at great length that the former debts were discharged, unless it could be shown that the insolvent was of ability to pay his after contracted debts, and, in case of a surplus, then that surplus was applicable to the payment of the debts contained in his former schedule, and, inasmuch as that was not now shown to be the case, the insolvent was en titled to his protection. The Le rued Commissioner, however, stated that this was a case similar to one which had recently been argued before him : that he had taken time to consider of it, and been assisted in his decision by three able lawyers ; he then had come to the conclusion that the former debts were not extinguished, and he confirmed that decision, by directing the present petition to be dismissed. TO SOLICITORS. Mr. Commissioner Skirrow has decided that, as in all cases, either bankrupts themselves or solicitors on their behalf are required to give notice to solicitors for the as signees of their intention to apply for their certificates, such notice shall be confirmed at the public sitting of the court for the purpose, by an affidavit to be filed upon the proceedings, and not, as heretofore, on the single admission of the service. In all cases, therefore, in future, affidavits must be prepared by the solicitor for the bankrupt, to be exhibited in court on the day advertised for the allowance of the certificate. The commissioner has also decided that, in all cases, a duplicate of the balance sheet shall be prepared, and served upon the solicitor for the assignees, one day succeeding the filing in the court, so that the se veral items may be scrutinized, and any deficiencies or in accuracies pointed out.
