APTAIN PIDDING'S TEAS consist of one kind only of Black and one of Green. The Black is a mixture of Forty different kinds of rare Black Teas, remarkable for their great strength, delicious flavour, and natural aroma. This natural aroma of the Tea being completely preserved in the Packages in which it is imported. The Green is Small Leaf Gunpowder Tea of the finest kind, and is grown only on one Estate. Captain PIDDING, who has made eight voyages to China, completed arrangements when last at Canton, securing to himself the exclusive importation of these particular Teas. Extract from Dr. Sigmond's Lecture on Captain Pidding's Tea before the Med. Bot. Society. " This particular Tea has been very much and very de servedly prised, and has now become a Standard Tea in this Country. (From Dr. James Johnson, .111. D., Physician to his late Majesty, &c.) " Suffolk-place, Pall Mall, London. " Sir,—Ever since your Tea was first introduced, myself and family have used it ; indeed, only it, and we have no hesitation in giving it the preference to all others. "Yours, &c., " JAMES JOHNSON, M.D. " To Captain Pidding." CAPTAIN PIDDING'S Teas were formerly sold under the title of " Howqua's Mixture," and " Howqua's Small Leaf Gunpowder" ; but hundreds of Grocers, anxious to profit by the celebrity of tea which lie alone imports, have given the same title to rubbish of their own, so that there is row scarce one but has his " Howqua's," " Mowqua's," " Saoqua's," or some other spurious mixture. Against such imposition, the only security is " CAPTAIN PIDDING'S NAME." This they have not yet forged, and:his signature is on every really genuine package. Sold in Chinese Catty packages, containing one pound and one-third, nett of Tea, exclusive of lead and paper,—the Black, at the rate of 6s. 4d. per lb. ; the Gunpowder at 9s. per lb. ; Half and Quarter Catties in proportion. A Quarter Catty of . Black, charged 2s. 2d., will go as far as half a pound of the commonest Tea, if made according to Capt. Pidding's directions given on each package.

Accordingly, to all such persons, Advice and Attendance may be had on this reasonable consideration, namely, that the professional remu neration or charge will be on a scale suitable to the circum stances or rank of the patient. This arrangement will meet the case of those who cannot afford to give the large fees usually expected to be paid to a Physician, and will also suit the condition of others in humbler circumstances whose feel ings deter them from seeking the patronage or permission of Subscribers and others, and then, in addition to loss of time, applying " as paupers" at the large Hospitals and Dispensa ries for Advice act Medicine for nothing.

RECENT events have awakened so general a feeling of the momentous importance of securing protection from fire to Deeds, Records, M.SS., Books and Pap* of Ac compt, Cash, Gunpowder, and all combustible ' materials, that THOS. MILNER and SON feel excused - in again in viting public notice to their Patent Fire-restpting Deposito ries. Having submitted their one-chamberld Boxes, of one inch in thickness, to severe trials in the prhicipal towns, they have received from the authorities of each the most satisfac tory certificates of their efficiency for ordinary casualties; and being confirmed in opinion by a long course of experi ment, that, under suitable modification of chambers and thickness of boxes, the peculiar principle of their Patent is capable of affording security under the severest ordeal likely to occur in calamities of the kind, they respectfully solicit the consideration of Gentlemen interested in mechanical science to the subject itenerally, and investigation into the pretensions of the various means of security in use, their own amongst the rest. M. and S. are prepared to submit their manufactures to public trial with any others of equal dimensions, whilst their comparatively moderate cost renders them extensively avail able. The certificate of the satisfactory trial of their Boxes in Liverpool bears the signatures of the following Gentlemen, to whom permission of reference is kindly given , THOMAS BOLTON. Esq., (ex-Mayor,) JOHN SHAW LEIGH, Esq., (the Mayor,) Sir THOMAS BRANCKER, BARTHOLOMEW PRESCOT, Esq., L. GRAHAM, Erq., R. FRODSHAM, Esq., VIM. STOCK, Esq., S. WOODS, jun., Esq. The more recent one below will be interesting to Ship owners and Builders, Gunpowder-dealers, &c., and is further confirmatory of the capabilities of the principle:— Trial of Mirtetio r e 's nof Gu Patent Fire-Resistingnpovderfrom Fireprin,le as a Protection Liverpool, June 20th, 1842. We have this day witnessed the trial of one of Milner's Patent Fire-proof Double-celled Gunpowder M agaz i nes , o f twelve inches external, and six inches internal diameter and height, filled with highly combustible materials, papers, and a packet of Gunpowder. The same was placed in the centre of a fire consisting o f five to six cwt. of coal and a quantity. of wood, !ind remained therein upwards of three hours, during two-thirds of which time the magazine was surrounded by a complete furnace of intense heat. Neither the inner magazine nor its contents were at a ll injured by the fire, nor did they evince any signs of the se vere ordeal to which they had been exposed, beyond being pervaded to the very centre with steam from the alkaline solution, contained in tubes embedded in the nonconductor occupying the chamber of each cell. In proof of the intense heat of the fire, the wood was wholly consumed, the entire quantity of coal converted into coke, and the.bricks upon which the fire was made were taken out red hot JOHN WILSON CARTER, G.

Liverpool, sth August, 1842 j PRIESTLEY, CHEMIST, Lord-street, begs particu t, • larly to call the attention of his Friends a-nd the Public to the undermentioned selection of Preparations. PRIESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ POWDERS. Which approach nearer than anything yet discovered to the Chalybeate Waters of Germany. The style of pre paring PRIESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ POWDERS is peculiar to himself, and combines scientific skill with great accu racy ; and though numbers of people unacquainted with the business, and others, have of late years attempted imita tions, they have invariably been found to be spurious com pounds, neither possessing the agreeable flavour nor the me dicinal properties of the Seidner. Waters. Sold in Boxes, 2s. each, containing twenty-four Powders, to make one dozen tumbler glasses, and in Tin Cases, 10s. each. The latter are put up in a very eligible form for ex portation, or to use at sea, and will keep any length of 'time in all climates. THE FLUID EXTRACT OF SARSAPARILLA. In this preparation are concentrated all the Medicinal Pro perties of Sarsaparilla Root. To persons, therefore, who, from various causes, would experience great inconvenience, or with whom it would be utterly impossible to prepare the Compound Decoction, the Fluid Extract, which possesses the advantages of portability and of keeping in any climate, will be found a most desirable mode of employing this much esteemed Medicine. Two teaspoonsful of the Fluid Extract, put into a wine glass full of water, makes a preparation equal in strength, to half a pint of the Compound Decoction, formerly prescribed by the London, Edinburgh. and Dublin Pharmacopoeias. The diseases in which it has proved most beneficial are those of the Skin ; such as Scorbutic Affections, Eruptive Diseases, Secondary Symptoms. &c., arising from a diseased state of the system at large. For removing Blotches, Pim ples, &n. from the Face, this Medicine has no superior. The extensive use and high reputation of this preparatio n has led to numerous imitations, disguised by the name of Syrup, Essences, &c. The whole medicinal virtues of the Sarsaparilla consist in its extractive matter, and it possesses no real property in the form of essence, while the Syrup is injurious to the digestive organs by causincr acid fermentation VEGETABLE HAIR OIL Is allowed to be an excellent discovery for invigorating and renovating the human Hair. It eradicates the Scurf, nou rishes the Hair, nrevents its falling off, produces a most beau tiful natural curl, and gives to artificial Hair a peculiar soft ness of texture and luxuriant appearance.

CONCENTRATED ESSENCE OF JAMAICA GINGER A teas poonful may be taken for a dose three times a day in any liquid. NEWLY INVENTED CRYSTALLINE OIL.

LIFE INSURANCES.—Bonuses have been declared on Policies, by adding to the Sums Insured, payable at the de cease of the Life, or an equivalent reduction of the future Annual Premiums, at the option of the Insured.

A new church is now in course of erection at Goode, the foundation stone of which was recently laid by J. T. Hodgson, Esq., of that place. Temperance makes the faculties clear, and exercise makes them vigorous. It is temperance and exercise united that can ensure the fittest state for mental or bodily exertion. In reading a work force yourself to reflect on what you read pa. ragragph by paragraph, and in a shbrt time you will derive plea. sure—an ample portion of it at least—from the activity of your own mind. All else is picture sunshine. FORGIVENESS.—Amonet,tF, ancients, forgetfulness of injuries as considered a virtue; the heathen philosopher even said, that to forgive one's enemies was to be equal to the gods. Cato, whom all the wprld admired, said that he forgave every body but himself, A sample of new wheat was brought into Bristol market on Thursday week, by Mr. Henry Cooke, of Clevedon. It was a re markably fine specimen. - A learned and " enlightened" radical, of Dartmouth, who was descanting a short time since on the "five points" of the Charter, declared himself in favour of " universal sovereigns," " vote by ballast," and " triangular parliaments." - - CLERICAL .MUNIFICENCE.—The Rev. J. J. Scott has offered £1,500 towards the endowment, and £5OO towards the fabric of a new church at Barnstable, provided that £2,000 be raised to meet his donation before next Michaelmas. IPswrcn ELF.CTION.—It was confidently stated at the clubs on Saturday, that Viscount Villiers and Captain Gladstone would come . _ . forward on the conservative interest for Ipswich immediately the writ was issued. From inquiries we have no doubt but that the rumour is well founded , Viscount Villiers arrived in town on Saturday, from Upton Hall, near Banbury. Mehemet Ali, it is said, has determined on realising the dream of his life—the junction of the Red Sea and the Mediterranean by means of the canal to be cut through the Isthmus of Suez. For this purpose the Pasha had ,written to Mr. Brunel, the engineer, who has executed the Thames Tunnel, proposing to him to under take the work. Smrcar.nvo.—Mr. Jones, the tide-surveyor et Holyhead, has seized two smacks, the Elizabeth and Emerald, having on board 123 bales (1700 lbs) of tobacco concealed under the ballast. One man was Secured, but the principal and three others escaped. The tobacco is lodged in the Custozn-house. MARYPORT.—The trustees of Maryport harbour have in con templation to erect a new breakwater at the south entrance of the harbour, the sand-bank on that side having latterly been accumu lating so rapidly as to become, a serious impediment to vessels en tering the port. NU:vsFFAII PARK.--IliS Grace the Archbishop of York has given instructions for the gardens and park of his Kineely_ family seat, near Abingdon, to be thrown open for the recitation of all tlassts three days a week—Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.—Doncaster Gaiette. On Monday evening last, his Grace the Duke of Devonshire arrived at the station-house, Chesterfield, from London, and pro ceeded immediately to Chatsworth, where, it is supposed, his grace intends staying the shooting season. The duke was warmly greeted by the populace on his arrival, and appeared in excellent health and spirits. LACE TRADE IN FRANCE.—Such is the brisk demand for a cer tain description of lace made on the rotary principle, at Calais, that hands are working night and day to meet the wants of cus tomers ror it. Our informant, who left Calais a day or two ago, states, that he saw several workmen from Leicester and Notting ham paid 100 francs (44 in English money) each for 48 hours' labour.—Leicester Chronicle. As far as the accounts can at present be made up, it appears that the cost of building and outfit for the Niger expedition is 4'40,381 14s 4d; stores and materials, including provisions, medicines, &c., £23,570 4s 7d; salaries, wages, &c., £18,102 4s 7d, making a total of .82,054 3s 6d. It is estimated that the balance in hand of £19,182 16s 6d will be amply sufficient for the payment of all ex penses accruing to the present time. WORKING OF THE VOLUNTARY PRINCIPLE.—On Sunday last two collections were made hi Rye Church to remunerate the or ganist for his services during the past year, which were as follows : playing the organ at morning and afternoon service (and at any other time when required), instructing the children of the Sunday School to sing two hours every week, tuning the organ and keeping it in repair. And for these services, efficiently performed, what do you suppose, gentle reader, was the remuneration ?—Four pounds and ninepence !—Brighton Gazette. COUNTY COURTS BILL.—A clause having been introduced into this bill on the third reading, in the House of Lord, to exclude the county of Lancashire from its provisions, a meeting of influential tradesmen was held at the White Swan, Rochdale, on Thursday, on the subject, when petitions to both Houses of Parliament were agreed to in favour of the bill and its extension to Lancashire.— [Lancashire has been excluded, we believe, on account of the present machinery being considered sufficient fur carrying out the objects of the bill.] VENOMOUS NATURE or A COMMON TOAD.—A rather striking instance of the venomous nature of the common toad, occurred the other day in this neighbourhood. A house-cat, either in sport or malice, attacked one of this unfortunate species, whose back she proceeded rather unceremoniously to lacerate with her teeth, when lo ! she suddenly fell sick, tumbled over, and foamed at the mouth. The " untoward event" having been observed by a gentleman present at the time, he instanter procured a quantity of sweet milk in which he immersed the head of the poor baudrons, which happily had the effect of restoring her to Ler previous con dition.—Perth Advertiser. Da RADFUL ACCIDENT.—OII Saturday last, Dr. Bramley and hi lady were returning home to Halifax, in a pony phaeton, when, on turning to cescend a hill near Hipperholme, the pony misplaced its foot upon a glassy stone ; the result was, the animal was brought down.with great violence—one of its knees was broken, and the other severely fractured. Mrs. Bramley, with the violence of the shock, was precipitated from the phaeton; her face and temples being frightfully bruised and fractured, and Mr. Brantley did not escape without his arm being broken.—Leeds Conservative Journal. Tux LEA UERS.—The speeches were principally filled with com plaints against the " cheapening" process, to which mills, ma chinery, and manufactured goods have of late been subjected. To the uninitiated, it appears very strange, that " cheapness" should offend those whose catechism is, " Buy at the cheapest market." The " lecturers" of these smugglers' associates are everlastingly prating about the benefits to be derived from "cheapness" in land, labour, cattle, corn, kc. ; why, then, should they set up an universal yell against " cheapness'' in their own commodities—mills, ma chinery, &c. ? Without impeaching their honesty, I cannot dis cover a solution of this enigma. I must, therefore, leave others to explain the reason why " cheap" mills, machinery, &c., arc offensive to the Anti-Corn -Law-Leaguers. It surely cannot be, that persons who profess to be, par excellence, the philanthropists of the age, should wish to rob their neighbours by " cheapening" their pro perty in land and labour, for the purpose of enabling manufacturers to " sell dear," and thus " accumulate wealth" at the expense of This is a knotty question—l must leave it.—R. Oastler'a others Fleet Papers EXECUTION.—TULLAMOORE, Friday Evening.—Walter Wheel °hail was on Saturday executed in the front of Dublin gaol for the murder of his wife on Tuesday, the 31st of May last. A short time previous to his execution he requested that an acknowledgment of his guilt might be taken dqwn in writing, and that he would sign it; which was in substance as follow :—`• They were about nine months married. During that period something unaccountable had caused him to take A dislike to her, and they consequently led a very unhappy life. Two months before he committed the deed he determined on her murder. On Monday, the 30th, he dug ground in order to loosen it, and he killed her on Tuesday night, but not having time to bury her, he removed the body to the barn, where he covered it with straw, and on Wednesday night he carried it to the grave, and ran a tew scrapes of a plough over it to disguise it. as he intended immediately to sow down the land. There were at the time in his house, his father, aged 94, two servants, a boy and a girl; and a child about 11 years of age, all of whom he declares, had no knowledge of, nor did they take a part in, the murder. He stated that he told his neice, who lived occasionally with him, his intention, but acquits her in like manner, she having advised him against it." He never spoke after leaving his cell but in prayer, and ascended the gallows with as much firmness and fortitude as if nothing was to happen. DREADFUL CONFLAGRATION.—THE HAGUE, JULY 31 26th the town of Leenwarden was exposed to a catastrophe similar to that of Hamburgh. The preceding day was the last of the an nual fair, and on the 27th, at four in the morning, a fire broke out in one of the handsomest booths in the market.place. The flames spread with such rapidity that in half an hour the market-place was like a sea of fire, and thirty-four of the booths were consumed ; others were pulled down to prevent the further progress of the flames. All this happened in the short time that passed before the fire-engines could be brought up; but, indeed, if they had arrived sooner they could not have checked the devouring flames. They, however, arrived just as the flames threatened the adjoining houses of the finest part of the town. Though five or six houses were con siderably damaged, the progress of the conflagration was stopped, and the town itself saved. The grateful feelings of the inhabitants for their providential deliverance has tended to increase their pity for the unfortunate owners of the booths, who were unable to save any of their property, for whom a subscription was immediately commenced, which, in a couple of hours, produced 4,500 florins, but the total loss was estimated at 100,000 florins, and the local au thorities have therefore appealed to the public beneficence. —On the ACCIDENT AT A CENTRIFUGAL RAILWAY.—On Saturday last a Lther serious accident happened to a woman, named Colley, who IA ventured to have a ride on the Centrifugal Railway now exhi- Ltiting in Boar-lane. The carriage on this railway is carried at Le rate of 120 miles an hour round a circular railway placed verti- Illy, so that when the carriage is at the upper part of the circle ie persons within it, who are not fastened in any way, have their eads downwards, and are kept in by the principle of centrifugal force, in the same way as water is kept in a bucket whirled rapidly round in a vertical direction. On Saturday the woman, in com pany with a man, placed herself in the carriage, which being set at liberty sped its way down the first inclined plane, from which it re ceives its great velocity, round the circular part of the railway, and up the second inclined plane, at the top of which a man is placed, whose duty it is to peize the carriage, in order to prevent it from running back again. On this occasion, however, the carriage, ow ing to its being loaded with the unusual weight of two persons, did nut reach the ordinary height up the second inclined plane, and the man at the top being unable to seize it'it ran down again, and up the verticle circle, and threw the man and woman out with consi derable violence. The woman had her forehead, nose, and other parts of her face, dreadfully cut, and was conveyed to the in tirniary tier wounds, though not, we believe, dangerous, were of a serious character, and their effects will most probably disfigure her during her life.. The man who was her companion in the carriage fell upon her, and escaped uninjured. It is to be hoped that this accident ill induce the conductors of the exhibition to use greater caution in future.—Leeds Times. . FUNERAL or SIR T. Ilksicrrn.—On Wednesday last, this gen- leman's interment took place in Rufford aural. T distance •orn Rufford-hall to the place of sepulture is very little less than a and as it was determined upon that his honored remains hould be borne to their last resting place, by individuals to whom his excellent example had endearia . him'tO their hearts, by the warmest ties of obedient respect and sincere esteem, it was arranged that the space should be divided into ten equal portions, at each of which a fresh relay of six supporters should enter upon their allotted duty of healing their revered burden to the next relief point on the road. The persons selected were thirty of the de ceased baronet's Rufford tenantry. The distance marked out for the labour of each relay of bearers was about one hundred and sixty yards. The orderof procession, he hall to from t churc as follows :— The Rev. Mr. M'Gratb, incumbent of Raiford h , , was took the lead, and was followed by Dr. Robinson, M.D., Mr. Dandy, surgeon, and W. Rawstorce , Esq. Nex t came the body, borne in the manner we have already described ; then succeeded, as chief mourners, Mr. Ilesketh, (son of the present baronet) and Mr. W. Hesketh, (son of the deceased ;) the Rev. J. T. Horton, v icar of Ormskirk, the Rev. Mr. Hodgson , Captain Greville. Mr. Hinde, and some other personal friends, with a number of the tenantry and the domestics of the household, composed the other portion of the procession. On the arrival at the church (which, with the family pew, had been put into handsome mourning) the solemn service for the dead was very impressively read by the rev. incum. bent, during which the remains of the deceased were placed in the family vault, " in the sure and certain hope of a resurrection to eternal life ;" and all the last sad duties having been performed, the mourning attendants returned to the hall, or their respective homes. The present baronet was detained from the ceremony by severe illness. . RAILWAYS .—Notwithstan din g the great depreciation iu the value and profits of railway shares, we are surprised to see that the di rectors of railway companies appear indifferent to the immediate adoption of every means' as they are from time to tim e i nvented or devised by scientific men, of effecting economy, or obtaining other advantages. We are led to make this remark from th e f act having come to our knowledge. that a means has been devised of obtaining that important desideratum, the use of coal without smoke, in lieu of coke, in the working of locomotive engines. This invention wa s put into most satisfactory op erat i on, and its advantages were fully ascertained, a year and a half ago; and yet, strange to say, it is only adopted at the present moment (and that to a li m ited extent) by some three or four railway companies. We have been informed, .that the working of the locomotive engines on the Midland Counties Line, with coke, cost upwar d s o f 170 per cent. more than with coal; and no doubt a similar reduction of expense would be effected in all other railways. The Wolf loco motive engine, with Mr. Samuel Hall's patent apparatus, was, we believe, got into work in May last ; and we are informed, that in run ning a distance of 1,310 miles, the average consumption of coke was 651 b. 40Z. per mile, and the average consumption of coal in running 1,024 miles, was 561 b. 10oz. per mile ; the cost of coal being 7s. l Id. per ton., and that of coke 20s. per ton. If th n is . b e the case, we would ask, what are the motives of the chairoTef s d directors of railways for neglecting to avail themselves o im portant a saving of expense ; and we would recommendbc "e t Nothing all Pro" prietors of railway shares to make inquiry on the e very possible but the most rigid economy, and the aPPlioa Any thing like means for the reduction of expenditure. ear_ A - 1 7, this description a fair Interest for the immense capital ittee of property.—Times.

POWER OF STEAM.-It is on the rivers, and the boatman may re. pose on his oars ; it is on the highways, and exerts itself along the courses of land conveyance ; it is at the bottom of mines, a thou sand feet below the earth's surftice ; it is in the mill and the work shops of the traders. It rows, it pumps, it excavates, it carries, it craws, it lifts, it hammers, it pins, it weaves, it prints.—Webster'4 Lectures. It is stated, that the force of this country, which ere now has concentrated in the China seas, amounts to fifty-seven vessels of war, of which nineteen are steamers, and 15,000 troops, exclusive of the sailors of the fleet. Such a force indicates that a govern ment, of which the Duke of Wellington is a member, will not carry on " a little war," and points to the speedy conclusion of our con test with the Celestial Empire. Tile TARIFF.—We already hear of a few cattle and pigs being imported into Hull under the new tariff, but we cannot expect any notable reduction in butchers' meat until October, when pickled beef and pork will be admissible. The American article will then inevitably supersede the Irish, and ther consequence will be that the immense number of Irish cattle now slaughtering for curing will find their way to the shambles fresh. Hams, of quality equal to any English hams, are already imported and selling at from 4d. to 7d. per lb. A dinner was given by several members of the House of Com.. mons at the Clarendon Hotel, on Saturday, to Lord Mahon and Mr. Sergeant Talfourd, to celebrate the passing of the Copyright Bill, at which Lord Monteagle (in the absence of the Chancellor, who was prevented by indisposition from attending) presided. Amongst the company present were Lord Campbell, Lord Lyttleton, Lord Ashley, the Attorney-General, the Right Hon. W. E. Glad stone, and Sir Howard Douglas. The Court of Queen's Bench, on the '2ll of June last, decided that an unmarried female is not liable, under the Vag 4, c. 83, s. 4. to punislnnent for neglecting to nv ohild, to which she is made subject under the Pi 5 Wm. 4 . c. 76, s. 71.

Mr. Greville, a gentleman well known on the turf, brought au action for libel against the proprietors of the Sunday Times newspaper. The libel complained of was contained in a report of the proceedings of the. last Epsom races, and the plaintiff was accused of haying with drawn his horse, Canadian, from the race in order that he might win several large bets that he had made against him. The de fendants put several pleas upon the record, which were, in fact, tantamount to a plea of justification.—Verdict for the plaintiff, damages '250. SINGULAR DISCOVERY OF A SllARR.—Captain Rowland, belong ing to the brig Anglesea, from Rio Janeiro for Antwerp, which arrived off Dover on Wednesday last, reports that on the 24th of last month, in lat. 50 47, long. 10.10 W., he came up with the wreck of a vessel apparently about 5 , 0 tons burden, and of Ameri can build. The weather being favourable, he, together with seve ral of the crew, boarded her, for the purpose of ascertaining her name. On reaching her deck, they were startled by a loud splash. ing in the hold, when, upon taking off the hatchway, they dis covered an enormous shark entangled amongst the beams of the ship's bottom, which had been carried away ; on seeing them it made a desperate dart at one of the crew, who luckily fell back upon the deck and escaped. After considerable difficulty they managed to kill the monster and haul it out of the wreck on board their vessel. It measured 20 feet in length, and was of a very great weight. The name of the wreck was not learned, on ac count of the stern being gone. LIORTHOUSE DESTROYED BY FIRE.—The lighthouse on the North Quay, at Ayr, was observed to be on fire about half-past ten o'clock on Thursday morning, and before any effectual assist. ance could be rendered the whole fabric was burned. It was built of wood, and had faced the storms of nearly seventeen years. No cause can be assigned for the occurrence of the accident.—ScOts- An Paper, BUYING A HORSE FOR A CLERGYMAN.—At Melksham fair, on Wednesday, a countryman was looking at some horses which were exhibiting for sale, when a gentleman in clerical attire, and repre senting himself to be such, applied to him to purchase a particular animal which he pointed out, saying as a clergyman he did not like to be seen in such engagements, at the same time telling him he would give him a sovereign for his trouble. The trick took : the young man. " nothing green," paid 413 13s. for a horse not worth XS, which being done the clergyman was not to be found, and the purchaser had to take his bargain to himself with " all faults."— Sherborne Journal. Lova AND Surc,tnx.—A fine young man belonging to the horse artillery, blew his brains out on Sunday morning,in Limerick. He had been paying his addresses for some time previously to a young woman, and her refusal to marry him, on receiving the route for this garrison, led, it is supposed, to the committal of the rash act. He was a steady and excellent soldier, and much respected in the corps to which he belonged. ATTEMPT AT MURDER.—We learn the following particulars rela tive to an outrage which took place on Friday last in the county Tipperary :—About half-past two o'clock after midnight on Friday, the 2gth ult., as Thomas and David Hennessy, of Graffin, in the barony of Kilnamagh, parish of Donohill, and county of Tipperary . . b • '- (the former being un ed` r-agent to Air. Black,) were travelling in a cart to the assizes at Nenagh, and when not more than one mile and a half from home, three shots were fired at them in quick suc cession, from behind the road ditch, by which Thomas Hennessy received two severe wounds ; a bullet also passed through his bro ther's coat, without taking further effect.—Dublin Evening Mail. THE OYSTER. SEASON.-The sale of oysters commenced at Bil lingsgate on Thursday, at noon, in accordance with a regulation of the Corporation of London, altering the period of commencing the oyster season► from twelve o'clock at night on the 4th to the hour of twelve at noon. On Wednesday afternoon there were twenty sail of oyster vessels at Billingsgate, and it was expected they would be increased to forty by the flood-tide next morning. Up wards of 300 fellowship porters and others were employed on board the smacks to measure and deliver the cargoes. The smacks are principally from Rochester and Colchester. The oysters are re ported to be remarkably good; and Mr. Goldham states, that he never saw finer in August. HINT TO ELECTORS.—August 20 is the last day for leaving with the overseers objections to county voters. August 25 is the last day for the service of objections on electors in counties, or their tenants, and for the service on overseers of objections to borough electors; also the last day for the reception of . claims as borough electors. August 2g, overseers of parishes and townships to semi lists of electors and lists of objections to the high constable of their respective hundreds. August 31, all taxes and rates payable on the Ist March must be paid on or before this day by all persons claim ing to be enrolled as burgesses under the new Municipal Corpora tions Act. A SISTER SCOT BY A B RO THER. —Monday afternoon the in habitants and neighbourhood of Shepperton Cottages, Rosemary Branch, lioxton, were thrown into a state of excitement , arising from the following melancholy event occurring at No. 64, Shep perton Cottages. It a p pears t h a t the father is a commissioner of sewers, and that the family consists of several children. One of them, a lad about 15 years of age, has been in the habit of keeping pigeons, and for their protection has kept a pistol loaded to shoot the cats. One of the da ug h ters, a fi ne girl about 15 years of age, was engaged in feeding one of the youngest m embers of the family, when a young c hild , a b oy a bout seven years of age, by some means obtained possession of the pistol, and fired the weapon ; but wether it was discharged at any object could not be ascertained. Unfortunately the charge struck, and we regret to state , no less than 19 shots, varying in size from' partridge to dock shot, entered the head of the poor girl. Several of the shot were extracted; but the worst fears are entertained. THE LATE MYSTERIOUS DEATH IN DCHLIN.—After a protracted inquiry of eighteen days, the coroner's jury on the inquest relative to the death of Mr. Augustine Byrne, of Dublin, found on Wed. Dewitt) , last, the following verdict :—" We find that Mr. Augustine Byrne was found dead in his bed at No. 1, Albert-terrace, Rath- - - mines, in the parish of St. Peter, and county of Dublin, upon Saturday, the gth of July, 1842, and we find that the said Mr. Augustine Byrne met with his death at the said place between Sunday, the 3d of July, and Saturday, the 9th July, 1842, under ver y mysterious circumstances : and that the strongest possible suspicions attach to Mrs. Ellen Byrne, wife of the said Augustine Byrne, of the said house, of being accessory thereto." Mrs. Byrne was then committed for trial under the coroner's warrant. THs EXCHEQUIR BILL FRA um—lt is confidently asserted in the city that in the report on the Exchequer Bill affair, now in progress of tieing printed, it is recommended by the commission that par liament should adopt the whole of the issues characterised as fraudulent, and make provision for the payment of them, with the sole exception of certain amounts still lying in the hands of two of the brokers who were chiefly employed in stock transactions and raising money for Beaumont Smith, Rapallo, Rte. These parties themselves, it must he observed, are understood to be quite ready to deliver up the Exchequer Bills thus remaining over undisposed of, and casually it may be said, in transitu, in their hands for raising funds when wanted by the chief delinquent and his agents or ac complices.—Morning Herald. DREADFUL HURRICANE.—On the 3d of June, a hurricane of fearful violence visited Calcutta. destroying and seriously injuring no fewer than forty vessels in the river, with a great loss of human life. It scarcely visited Bombay; but its vicinage was manifested by the most extraordinary, and at the same time inexplicable, de pression of all barometic instruments. At Bombay. a couple of old East India Company China ships have been burnt within a week of each other when just ready for sea. The Vansittart was reduced to ashes on the 3d, and the Cornwallis on the 1 0 th June. The loss of property occasioned by these events, amounts to above .4'100,000. The fires are believed to have been the work of incen diary lascars, and .€5OO reward has been offered by the insurance offices for the detection of the culprits. The suspicion is con firmed by the circumstance of another ship, also ready for sea, and to sail for China to-morrow, having been discovered to be on fire ; but it was promptly extinguished. It appears that the lascars had had prepared a large quantity of com bustible matter, p laced it below a cask of spirits in the hold , and then set fire to it. The Ore engines from the government steam ers were sent on board, and speedily extinguished the fire; bu t the lascars all j u mp e d over board, and attempted to make th eir escape in boats, but they Were g all seized, and are now in c onfinement.
