DEFICIENCY OF NERVOUS ENERGY. GALVANISM THE SUREST CURE FOR IT. WHAT IS " DEFICIENCY OF NERVOUS ENERGY ?" It is a withdrawal of nervous fluid from any particular muscle or organ affected. ,For instance, sup pose the stomach is so weak that it cannot digest food, the stomach is then deficient of nervous energy, for experiments if made on animals prove that if the ne es which lead from the spine to the stomach are separated, as to cut off the supply of nervous fluid, all digestion ce es on the instant. Again, suppose any muscle or limb so weitk that it cannot perform its functions, that muscle or limbs deficient of nervous energy. We may pursue the same rea ning as regards the brain, and hence the reason of Townes t spirits, want of resolution, tor por of all the intellectual owers, loss of memory, &c. The question which now arise is this,—" Can Galvanism supply the various organs with ne ous energy when they are deficient of it?" To reply to thi question we must go to experimental facts—facts as well thenticated, that no physiologist of the present (lay denies em. The following experiment is conclu sive,iili' ce the most sceptical that Galvanism can fi and will cony not only supply t e place of the nervous fluid, but that the gal vanic fluid and t e nervous fluid is one and the same thing. In Dr. Wilson Phillip's celebrated work, entitled "An Enquiry into the Laws of the Vital Functions," several experiments, similar to the following one, were made in order to decide the long-disputed question as to whether the galvanic fluid was identical with the nervous fluid. Three dogs were procured and kept without food for a certain time, when they were al lowed to eat as much as they felt inclined to. On two of the dogs, the operation was performed of dividing the eighth pair of nerves, in order to prevent the flow of nervous influence to the stomach, _ Nothing was done to the third dog at this stage of the experiment_ A. stream of galvanic fluid was now passed through the divided nerves of one of the does, and, at the ex piration of four hours, the three dogs were killed. On examin ing the stomach of the non-galvanised dog, not a particle of food was digested; whilst the food of the galvanised dog pre sented exactly the same appearance as that in the stomach of the dog which had not had the operation performed of dividing the nerves. Such experiments as these must come home to the conviction of the most sceptical; for nothing can be a more convincing proof that the galvanic fluid and the nervous fluid is the same thing, and that the galvanic battery, when properly applied, will cure those complaints " properly styled in a defici ency of nervous energy." Invalids the country are informed that I continue to supply my Pol.:able Galvanic Apparatus at Ten Guineas each ; and that with my instructions, they will be enabled to apply the Galvanism just as effectually as they could receive it at my own residence. I take this opportunity to caution parties against using those small electro-magnetic apparatuses having only one or two pair of plates, for their constant effect is, to irritate the whole nervous system. My apparatus, which has now become so celebrated, consists of twelve pair of zinc and silver plates, and a most complete regulating apparatus, with wire handles, &c. The whole is contained in a neat mahogany box, about two feet long, one foot high, and one foot broad - and when in action is an ornament to any drawing-room, and is, in short, perfection itself. From the weakest to the strong es: power there are fifteen gradations, the use of which is de scribed in my sixth and seventh letters on Medical Galvanism (see my pamphlet) to which I beg to refer the reader's attention. The extraordinary cures I have made by means of Galvanism have so astonished the whole medical world, that I am now patronised by the highest of the Medical Profession. The most timid nee.lnot be afraid of us i ng my appara t us , as t h e power of it is entirely tinder command, and the power of it can be re:misted so accurately, that an i n f an t ma y b e ga l van i se d by it without causing it to cry. The price is Ten Guineas. The cash to accompany the order. WILLIAM HOOPER HALSE. Invalids are solicited to send to Mr. W. H. HALSE, Profes sor of Medical Galvanism, 22, Brunswick-square, London, for his pamphlet on Medical Galvanism, which will be forwarded free on receipt of two postage stamps.

In it will be found the particulars of cures in 1 cases of asthma, rheumatism, sciat ica, tic-doloureux, paralysis, spinal complaints, headache, deficiency of nervous energy, liver complaints, general debility, indigestion, stiff joints, all sorts of nervous disorders, &c. Mr. Halse's method of applying the galvanic fluid is quite free from all unpleasant sensation; in fact, it is rather pleasurable than otherwise, and many ladies are exceedingly fond of it It quickly causes the patient to do without medecine. Terms One Guinea per week. The above pamphlet contains his letters on Medical Galvanism. TIC DOLOREUX CURABLE. TOOTHACHE. AN unfailing remedy for these dreadful %Diseases, whether arising from cold or from the decay Of the teeth, will be found in JAMES' CELEBRATED ASTILIAN TINCTURE FOR THE TIC DOLOREUX, which will prove an invaluable medicine to those saiffering from this most excruciating and hitherto-considered incurable com plaint. A knowledge of its surprising efficacy, which a single trial will prove, has induced the Propri rto bring it more extensively before the Public tha itherto been done, and thus confer a blessing upon sands now labouring under that distressing malady— first application not only easing the patient of all pain t effecting, in almost every case, a lasting cure. This medicine lso a certain specific for Spasms, however violent, especi yin the stomach or bowels, sudden attacks of epilepsy nd the like ; and from its perfect freedom from anything a deleterious c haracter, may be administered under any circumstances with entire safety.

THE FIVE THOUSAND POUND MAN.—The next class of emigrants are those who can command £5,000. This, in my opinion, is the smallest sum with which a man should attempt sheep-farming. To such, as well as those of less means, I repeat, before you lay out one penny, spend twelve months at least in gaining colonial experi ence in the bush. I have no hesitation i■ asserting that a man with £5,000 judiciously laid out in sheep, living at and himself superintending his station, enjoying all reasonable comforts, may bring up and provide for a large family much better than a man can with £20,000 in land in England, but not if he spends any more than the time necessary for business in the towns of the colony. I lay stress upon this, because gentlemen come out with their families, lay out a capital in sheep, which they entrust to strangers. live in Sydney as expensively as they did at home, and are surprised to find themselves ruined.—Life in Australia. SINGULAR ETIQUETTE AT BONI, IN CELEBES.—The etiquette of this court proves s how despotic it has become: -.. , L0n the patamanx.n- its, all sit; when he rises, all rise : so far things are within .....nnable bounds but should he ride and fall from his horse, all about him must fall from their horses likewise. If he bathe, all must bathe too, and those passing go into the water in the dress, good or bad, they may chance to have on. I for got in its proper place to mention another custom of the court : no one appears with an handkerchief about the head, in the presence of the patamankowe. The lower classes wear the skull-cap on the back of the cranium. The sovereign and his brother wear it cocked to the left side; other nobles to the right, and cocked according to the rank. White skull-caps distinguish the young mlahs, who compose the body-guard, if it may be so called, that is, spear-bearers, sword-bearers, ciribox-bearers, spitoon bearers, shield-bearers, &c. to the amount of two hundred or three hundred.—Journal of Mr. Brooke (the Rajah of Sarawak). KEAT'S OPINION OF WOMEN.—I am certain 1 have not a right feeling towards women. At this moment I am striving to be just to them, but I cannot. Is it be cause they fall so far beneath my boyish imagination ? When I was a schoolboy, I thought a fair woman a pure goddess: my mind was a soft nest in which some one of them slept, though she knew it not. I have no right to expect more than their reality. I thought them ethereal —above men. I find them perhaps equal—great by com parison is very small. Insult may be inflicted in more ways than by word or action. One who is tender of being insulted does not like to think an insult against another. I do not like to think insults in a lady's company. I commit a crime with her which absence would not have known. Is it not extraordinary ?—when among men, I have no evil thoughts, no malice, no spleen; I feel free to speak or to be silent; I can listen, and from every one I can learn; my hands are in my pockets, I am free from all suspicion, and comfortable. When I am among women, I have evil thoughts, malice, spleen, ; I cannot speak, or be silent; I am full of suspicions, and therefore listen to nothing; lamin a hurry to be gone. You must be cha ritable, and put all this perversity to my being disap pointed since my boyhood.—Literary Remains of John Keats. _ _ A WEAVER'S FAMILY FARE.—The mode of living at my uncle's was of the simplest country style. At break fast, a brown earthen dish being placed on a low beaufet near the middle of the floor, a boiling of water porridg., was poured into the dish, hot from the pan. A mess-pot of the same material as the dish was placed for each one about to partake of the breakfast, a quantity of milk and a spoon were placed in each pot, my uncle took a seat and asked a blessing, each of the children of the family stand ing around ; we then took our several messes of milk, and helped ourselves to the steaming porridge as quickly as we chose, and mixing and eating in the manner we liked best, not a word being spoken all the time. The porridge being scraped up, which they in general were rather quickly, each would take a piece of hard oaten cake and eat it to the remainder of his milk, after which a little butter or a small piece of cheese, with more oaten bread would finish the meal, and in a few minutes work was resumed. My aunt would shortly after make her ap pearance, her face red, and herself disirmsed with cough ing; the kettle would then be set on fer`her, and when the asthmatic paroxysm had sufficiently abated, she took her breakfast, and sat down to her wheel. Our dinners consisted generally of butchers' meat and potatoes, or potatoe pie, or meat and broth, or barna dumplings, -or drink porridge, 6r - hasty pudding and in each case the food was partaken in the same primitive manner. When we had meat and potatoes each had an allowance of the meat on a piece of oat cake, and the potatoes being poured into a dish placed on the beaufet as before, we all stood round and with spoon or knife as we chose, eat from the dish so long as the potatoes lasted, after which we stole out to play, eating our remnant of butchers' meat and cake the while. There was not a word heard till we got out of doors, and then we were, as noisy as others. When we had potatoe pie for dinner, an allowance of the crust was given to each ; the potatoes were then eaten out of the dish as before, and the crust, as being the most dainty, was eaten afterwards. When we had broth, each received a mess for himself, to which he added as much oaten cake as he chose ; the potatoes were eaten out of the dish, and the meat being s erve d i n por ti ons , eac h eat it with cake at his leisure. When we had dumplings, they were set on the heaufet in the same brown dish, or one of the sort; a little dip was made from the water the dumplings had been boiled in ; a lump of butter and a little sugar or treacle being add e d ; th e di p was th en poured upon the dumplings, and we fell to, and eat as we liked, the only restriction being that there was not to be any talking at meat. How different was this sententious and becoming manner at table, from the one which now prevails around fashionable boards, where, if a person cannot, or will not, both gabble and gobble at the same time, he is looked upon as vulgar, and where the highest test of good breeding Is to keep both chin and to ngue — the latter especially — in motion, it matters not on w h a t subject, if it only elicit not a thought. Such is one of the puerilities by which insane pride seeks to be distin guished from the thoughtful and earnest portion of society. Our bagging or afternoon lunch, consisted of half an oaten cake, with butter, treacle, cheese or milk, as cir cumstances rendered most convenient; and our supper was generally the same as breakfast. On Sunday morn ings we had mint or balm tea, sweetened with treacle, and oaten cake and butter ; on Sunday afternoons we had tea of the same kind, and a slice of buttered loaf was ad ded, which was an especial dainty,—Samuel Bamford's Early Days, No. 2. DEATH OF LORD GEORGE BENTINCK. On Friday, a great sensation was produced throughout the country by the intelligence of the alarmingly sudden decease of Lord George Bentinck. It appears that on Thursday afternoon, having an appointment to dine at Thoresby Park, the seat of Earl Manvers, and being a good pedestrian, his lordship set out on foot from Welbeck Abbey, the seat of his father the Duke of Portland, in tending to walk across the fields to Thoresby Park, a dis tance of five or six miles. A man servant was at the time dispatched with a horse and gig to take thither a change of dress, &c., for his lordship. Lord George did not arrive at Thoresby Park at the appointed time, whereupon inquiries were made of the servant as to the cause of the delay. He said in reply, that before he left Welbeck he, saw his lordship crossing the park, and afterwards, as he was driving along the road, he observed him walking on in a field situate about three miles on the road. Time rolled on, and as his lordship did not arrive, the servant drove back to Welbeck to ascertain whether he had re turned thither; but finding that such was not the case he again drove back to Thoresby Park, thinking that Lord George might by that time have arrived. Nothing, however, had :been seen of him, and consequently several servants were dispatched in various directions for his lordship. His lordship's own servant proceeded along the footpath to Welbeck, and after walking some distance he saw, on approaching a gate, a human body stretched on the ground. On going close up to the object he dis covered that it was the body of his master, Lord George Bentinck. Life was quite extinct. Soon afterwards the body was removed to Welbeck in a drag. It may be observed that the deceased was a tall man, of commanding appearance, and by no means exhibited any appearance of an apoplectic character. His death was occasioned by disease of the heart. William George Frederick Cavendish Bentinck was born in February, 1802, being the second son of the present Duke of Portland, who is now in his 81st year, by Henri etta, daughter and co-heiress of Major-General Scott, and the sister of the Viscountess Canning. He was brother to the Marquis of Titchfield, heir to the dukedom of Port land, to Lord Henry Bentinck, M.P. for North Notts, to Lady Howard de Walden, and to Lady Charlotte Denison, the wife of Mr. Evelyn Denison, the whig M.P. for Mal don. He had one unmarried sister, Lady Mary. Lord George completed his education at Christ Church, Oxford, and served in his earlier years in the brigade of Guards, having retired from the army with the rank of major. Although it is now close upon twenty-five years since the deceased first entered the political world, the latter years of his life appear only to have exhibited important move ments on his part. The first, and indeed the only bona fide, political appointment he ever held was that of pri vate secretary to his uncle, the Right Hon. George Canning, when that statesman was prime minister. Can ning's opinion of Lord George was very high. In 1828 he was first returned to parliament for the borough of Lynn Regis, in Norfolk, for which he has since sat with out interruption. His lordship voted for the principle of the Reform Bill. but, opposed ministers on the principal details in committee. Lord George remained almost a silent member until Sir R. Peel gave up protection in 1846. He then took Mr. Allies's place as leader of the agricultural party. and continued to make some severe at tacks on the late ministry up to the period of their expul sion from office on the Irish Assassination Bill, which he opposed. His disputes with Lord Lyndhurst and the Earl of Ripon are, no doubt, still fresh in the recollection of the reader, as are the other questions in which he was an important mover during the past session. His lord ship differed with the majority of his party on the question of civil and religious liberty. He supported the Jewish Relief Bill and Mr. Watson's Roman Catholic Relief Bill. His vote on the first-mentioned question was followed by his withdrawal from the protectionist leadership. He an nounced his intention some time since of supporting the payment of the Roman catholic clergy by the landowners in Ireland. With the particulars of his turf career the public have on many occasions been made fully acquainted. He took a great interest in field sports generally, and some excellent regulations were established at the princi pal race meetings in the kingdom under his superinten dence. @ritual I+lft:irrliant). Several incendiary fires have taken place lately at Nottingham. Several manuscript lectures have been presented by Lord Brougham, to the Northern Union Mechanics' In stitutions of Northumberland, Durham, and Cumberland. At the Norwich Musical Festival, £lOOO was the sur plus devoted to the charities on behalf of which it was held. On Wednesday preparations commenced within the Tower of London for the erection of a granite statue of the Duke of Wellington. Orders have been given to suspend the enlistment of seamen for the royal navy, as no more are required at present. On Thursday the Ocean arrived in the Thames, from Hamburgh, with 8,000 baskets of black grapes, the pro duce of the vineyards in the vicinity of that town. There were no fewer than 110 candidates for the ap pointment of clerk to the Wellington Board of Guardians. The salary is £lOO a year. More than one person in Guildford has lost some valuable pigs from giving them diseased potatoes. On their being opened, the intestines were found to be mortified. On Sunday, a child fell from the gallery of Holy Trinity Church, Paddington, on the head of a lady who sat in the body of the church ; but luckily neither the child nor the lany sustained any serious injury. NOVELTY IN FIRE ARMS.—A pistol has recently been registered uuder the act for tho pruteetlon of articles of utility, which is so ingeniously contrived that it primes and loads itself by the most simple and unerring operation. It is calculated that the London pleasure-goers spend on Sundays through the year in the adjacent villages the enormous sum of one million three hundred thousand pounds. A few weeks ago, the Rev. Harry Baber, curate of St. Mark's, Chelsea, published his own banns of marriage in that church ; and what adds to the singularity of the circumstance is, that his bride-elect was one of the' con gregation then assembled. A young woman, named Shields, is in custody in Lon don, charged with killing her mother, an old woman of sixty. The mother and daughter were drunk and fighting together, when the former fell backwards and fractured her skull. Mr. Pierrepoint, of Worcester, has obtained leave to put up, on trial, at convenient places in the city, twelve patent lamps, which he promised should give a better light at sixty yards distance than the common one does at ten yards. The new docks at Leith are progressing rapidly, and be fore winter sets in, Mr. Barry, the contractor, expects to have the whole space inclosed with the outer wall, so that operations may be carried on inside during the winter. Cruikshank's splendid plates on the Bottle and Drun kard's Children will soon be familiar as " household words." The Sunderland Pottery Co. has purchased the right, and has brought out copies of these plates in splen did style upon articles of earthenware. On Wednesday se'nnight, as the Rev. G. F. J. Marsham rector of Maidstone, and the Rev. J. J. Marsham, were out shooting together, the former fired at a partridge, which he killed. Unfortunately several of the shots also hit his brother, and one of them entering the ball of his eye, deprived him immediately of sight. Clock and watchmaking, one of the principal branches of industry in the canton of Neufchatel, in Switzerland, is entirely paralysed. Upwards of 1,500 journeymen watch and clock-makers have just emigrated from Neuf chatel to the United States, and a still greater number are making preparations to follow them. From a tree in the garden of Mr John Lupton, Bram ley, were gathered, on the 9th September, the amazing number of 3311 apples. Upwards of 100 which were not fit to pluck remain on the tree. Added to these there have been, as near as can be ascertained, some 400 gathered and blown off previously. SHOCKING ACCIDENT.—On Wednesday a boy living at Coombe Florey, Salop, was sent home with a gun, which on the road he used to pull down a cluster of nuts. The gun being loaded (unknown to him) went off, and dischar ged its contents into his body. He left the gun hanging to the branches, and went as far as Coombe Tower, where he expired. A London paper states that early next year a variety of new regulations will be adopted in reference to the bar rack accommodation afforded to the troops in Ireland, and also in parts of England. It appears that Lord Har dinge, during his stay in Ireland, gave it as his opinion that sufficient accommodation was not afforded to the troops, nor sufficient attention paid to their comforts. On Friday, as W. Adams, Esq., of Mitchel Troy, was in the pursuit of game, he shot a very fine hare. The animal was picked up by Mr. Henry Stephens who, on perceiving her to be with young, immedi a t e ly cut her open, and took therefrom five remarkably strong and healthy-looking young ones, (thus showing that three, as generally supposed, is not the greatest number produced at a birth.) The new park at Battersea, which has been for some time in abeyance, will be commenced without delay. The park will extend the whole distance between Battersea bridge and Nine-elms, and from the bank of the river to the public road across Battersea.fields, making the length of the Park about two miles and a quarter, and its width a little more than a mile. A carriage -drive forty feet in breadth will be formed along the bank of the Thames. POPERY AGAIN.—A member of Parliament writing to the Morning Herald, says, "I have just had put into my hands, a letter addressed by one governess to another, who was advertising for a situation, in which the writer coolly proposes to her friend—both being Roman Catho lics—to go into a Protestant family named by her, in the character of a Protestant; for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the three children, whose mother was dead, to popery !" The money order department of the Post-office hither to, so far from yielding any revenue, has not even de frayed its own expenses. Under these circumstances one of two courses appears absolutely necessary, viz., either to reduce the expenses or to increase the poundage charged to the public. The latter alternative is obviously a very undesirable one; and it may be hoped, therefore, it will be found possible to introduce such economy into the department as shall obviate the necessity of adopting it. AN ENORMOUS BLAST. -At the quarry belonging to T. Gill, Esq., at Millbay, Devonshire, there have of late been several blasts of large masses of limestone rock, for the works of the Great Western Docks. One of those took place on Saturday, in the presence of a large con course of spectators. The hole for blasting was bored with a four-inch bit, and it occupied the men four days and four nights to make the rock fit to receive the gun powder. The quantity of powder used was 1351 b., and the weight of rock separated was about 3000 tons. The largest atone was 14 feet long, 11 feet wide, and 9 thick. ROYAL RIVALS.—THE QUEEN AND PRINCE ALBERT. —During the sale at Stowe, a beautiful statue of " Venus rising from the sea," which stood in an alcove built on purpose for its reception, was hotly bid for by two rival agents, until it was knocked down at a considerable higher price than its value. The report is that the agents repre sented the Queen and Prince Albert, who each wanted it to present to the other. Prince Albert was the pur chaser. — The Builder. A public meeting of the inhabitants of Southampton was held at the Town-hall on Thursday afternoon, for the purpose of affording an opportunity of laying before the public the views and plans of the London Society for the Promotion of Colonisation. The Hon. Francis Scott, M.P., Mark Boyd, Esq., Arthur Mills, Esq., E. Lennox Boyd, Esq., and C. D. Logan, Esq., attended as a depu tation from the London committee. The meeting was numerously attended. Mr. Bailey, poulterer, in Mount-street, details the large sums paid annually by London salesmen for poultry. He states that one salesman alone sold every year £lOO,OOO worth !—that he had himself paid £Bl,OOO in the course of the last year, and that £15,000 was received annually at Aylesbury for young ducklings ; but to this last item he adds the humiliating fact, " that, in Bucks, the wives are in the habit of driving the children from the hearth that the ducklings might get the benefit of the fire." A ROBBER SHOT.—Mr. Holden, a farmer, of Darton, near Barnsley, was roused at midnight by a noise on his premises, and, on looking from the window, he saw two men on a roof, taking off the slates, while a third stood below. The farmer fired at the depredators, and one of them was wounded ; his companions, however, carried him off. One the following morning the wounded man, one Gledhill, was found in a stable : a bullet had entered between his thigh and his body, and his case wss consi dered to be hopeless. MUSICAL ENTHUSIASM.—As an instance of the enthu siasm which Jenny Lind has created amongst those who heard her at York, we may state, that Mr. Bell, silver smith, of that town, has supplied a most beautiful and unique gold tea pot, which has been forwarded express to the Swedish Nightingale, at Newcastle, by one of her en raptured admirers. Other parties have also sent similar but less costly tokens of their admiration, such as gold and diamond bracelets, brooches, gold thimbles, &c. &e. ; indeed, no lady ever created such a fever of delight as Jenny Lind appears to have excited by her recent visit to York. DESTITUTE IRISH IN KENT,—Kent has been deluged by Irish, who have poured into the country,. at the hop picking season, in numbers far beyond those required for the work. Swarms of starving creatures have besieged the workhouses at Coxheath Union. On Saturday night week from 500 to 800 collected, and threatened a distur bance. A messenger was sent to Maidstone to desire that troops might be in readiness. Attacks have been made on individuals and property plundered. Special constables were sworn in at Maidstone on Monday, to act in the surrounding parishes. The Rev. W. Sinclair, incumbent of St. George's Church, Leeds, had a narrow escape from drowning, at Redcar, a few days ago. The rev. gentleman had waded and swam too far from his bathing machine, and in trying to return, was overpowered by the strong reflux of the tide. A coble was brought with all speed across the sands from high water mark, and rapidly rowed to his assistance ; but by the time the boat could reach him, a gallant gentleman, Mr. Ray, of Stokesley, solicitor, having thrown off only his coat and waistcoat, had already suc ceeded in swimming to Mr. Sinclair's side, and, in the absence of other assistance, would doubtless have had all the honour of a rescue. Mr. Sinclair was quickly brought to shore, and soon recovered. DEATH FROM GRIEF.—Mr. Mills, one of the metro politan coroners, held an inquest on Wednesday week, upon Emma Styles, a bonnet-maker, aged 21. Deceased was much attached to a man to whom she was to have been married, and who was arrested last week but one for some crime, but was subsequently discharged, there having been no evidence adduced against him. His arrest had such an effect upon the deceased that she became ill, and continued so for some days, until she was found dead in her lodgings. Mr. Poppin, surgeon, opened the body, and found that death resulted from disease of the heart. He had no doubt that the shock she sustained from the imprisonment of her intended husband accelerated her death. A SANITARY EXPERIMENT.—On Thursday, a shaft, six eet by three, was sunk from the centre of the Black friars-road, at the point of junction of the main sewer, from the Kent-road, Friar-street, and Webber-street; at the mouth of this opening into the sewers an iron grating was bricked in; above it, and about three feet below the surface, a furnace, composed of sheet iron, was erected. A space about twenty feet square was enclosed around the shaft, for the deposit of coal, &c., and on Monday the furnace will be ignited to test the practicability of thus destroying the foul air generated in the sewers, which in this locality penetrates the dwellings of the in habitants, rendering them unfit to dwell in. Should the experiment be attended with success, similar shafts are to be sunk at stated distances, with architectural columns or obelisks to carry off the smoke.—Morning Chronicle. FUNERAL OF THE REV. ARTHUR TROLLOPE. On Monday afternoon a considerable portion of Cheapside, and the streets leading into it, presented a somewhat un usual appearance, With scarcely an exception the shops were partially closed, during the funeral of the Rev. Arthur Trollope, the late respected and much lamented curate of St. Mary-le-Bow, and the united parishes. This gentleman, the son of Dr. Trollope, formerly Headmastcr of Christ's Hospital, had been for 21 years curate ; had never flinched from his duty, was always ready to help others in the discharge of their parochial duties, but would never accept aid himself, except in extreme cases. He was an upright, conscientious, and hard working man, and not only one of the most exemplary clergymen, but also ono of 41,0 must learned theologians In the metropolis. He never sought preferment. He was modest, manly, and independent. The proceeds of his curacy and lectureship, all he ever had in the church, amounted to £l4O a year. Neither the late Archbishop, to whose peculiar jurisdic tion Bow Church belonged, nor the Bishop of London, in whose diocese and jurisdiction are the united parishes, ever offered Mr. Trollope any preferment, or, we believe, took the slightest notice of him.—Times. _ GENEROSITY OF JENNY LlND.—There is at Hull a German Lutheran congregation who are endeavouring to provide funds for erecting a place of worship. The Queen Dowager has given £2O, and the chairman of the com mittee, Mr. Helmsing, merchant, addressed a letter to Mdle. Lind, who is a Lutheran, soliciting a contribution. This was directed to her in London, but it appears that on its arrival there she had left, and it was forwarded to her in Manchester. No answer being received, it was thought by the committee that the matter had ended. Last Thursday morning, however, at his office in High street, Mr. Helmsing heard a rap at the door, and in re ply to the loud " Come in," there stepped in a very modest looking young lady, who asked for Mr. Helmsing. "My name is Helmsing,' was the reply, "and mine is Jenny Lind," was the response. I have come to apolo gise for not answering your letter, which followed me down to Manchester, where I had not time to attend to it, but I shall be most happy to promote your object, and if to-morrow morning you will send to my hotel a list of the subscriptions, I will tell you what I will do." On the following morning, Mr. Helmsing waited upon Mdlle. Lind, who at once presented to him £2O, stating that that was as much as the nature of her contract would at prasent permit her to do, but, she added, if she should again have the pleasure of visiting Hull, which she hoped she might be able to do, before her departure for the con tinent, it would afford her much pleasure to do something more, and, in a most delicate manner, hinted that any future expression of her good will towards the object would in all probability be made through the medium of a concert. SHOCKING ACCIDENT.—On Thursday week at Castle Bents, near Bradfield, John Hawksworth and his wife, farm servants, were busy in the field, and had left their children, two boys, aged 12 and 11, and two girls, aged 9 and 2 years, at home. The children left the house and went into the barn, where there was a quantity of corn in the straw, to play. They got up a ladder, and mounted upon a beam that ran across the building. While there, the elder boy very foolishly lighted a lucifer match, which he let fall among the corn. As soon as it began to burn, the boys, instead of helping their sisters down from the beam, ran away to the field to fetch their parents. The elder girl called to the boys to assist her little sister and herself down the ladder, but they disregarded her cries, and as she could not descend the ladder with the child, she remained with it. The fire was seen by some neigh bours, who ran to the spot, but though they heard the children cry, the smoke was so dense that a considerable time elapsed before they could find them. Two mer, at the hazard of their lives, groped about, and one of them felt a leg of one of the children hanging from the beam. He pulled, and they fell together. They were got out alive, but in a state most dreadfully burned. As the barn adjoined the house, which it was feared would take fire, the furniture had been turned out, and it was neces sary to semi tne children to the poorhouse. The elder girl was still sensible, and stated, that when they found themselves deserted by the boys, she clasped her little sis ter in her arms, and in that state they remained until they were found. They both died on the Thursday night fol lowing. The fire in the barn was extinguished with great exertions, and the farm buildings were consequently saved. BRUTAL TREATMENT OF CHILDREN.—At the Clerk enwell police office, on Tuesday last, a man named Wor rall, and a woman, C. W. Chandler, were charged with cruelty to four little children belonging to the former prisoner. The poor sufferers were covered with marks of violence all over, some of which had festered. Their heads also were covered with sores. A constable said that on the previous day, while he was passing City Row, St. Luke's, he saw a large crowd, and on going up wa s in formed that a woman in a house was strangling some children. He knocked, but could not obtain admittance. A ladder was procured, and he got up to the first floor window, when the male prisoner, who bad a piece of wood in his hand, threatened to kill any one who entered, and afterwards threatened to blow out his own brains with a pistol. Another constable came up, and they en tered, and found the four children in the room in a dread ful state, one of them appearing to be dead. They were taken to the workhouse; and the prisoners sent to bride well. One of them, Henrietta, nine years old, had two black eyes, which she said were caused by her father beat ing her, for stealing halfpence. They all complained of being sometimes very hungry. There was a good bed in the room in which the prisoners slept, but the children had to lie on the floor without any covering, and when taken to the workhouse they were covered with sores and bruises, and much exhausted, from filth and want of food. The male prisoner, it appeared, was supported by the fe male, who led an abandoned life. The former attempted a defence for his beating the children, but it only aggra vated the matter. The magistrates remanded the pri soners for a week, and had the children sent hick to the workhouse. The feeling of the people in the court was so strong against the prisoners that they were obliged to take refuge in the waiting room, afraid of their lives. It was stated the prisoner Worrell was formerly a clerk in Liverpool, Sept. 26, 1645. f e r COACH ACCIDENT AT BAWTRY. — On Friday, -10 r 1 ham, on its route for Lincoln, left the Angel Inn,l3lMi at a quarter past six in the afternoon, with not morello sixteen passengers. In making the second turn 0 11 ,0 Gainsborough road, one of the horses stumbled• unfortunate circumstance caused the coach to swl6 and, bringing it in contact with the kerb-stone, vehicle was upset. Unhappily four females were but not seriously. The greatest injury was sustained 't,o Mrs. Kirk and her daughter, who were on their sol.„'w, Lincoln, for Spalding. Each had her collar bone fry ' tured. Doncaster Gazette. Tbor o A SKILFUL AND COURAGEOUS COLLIER.--- ,o, Burn, of Grange Pit, near Belmont, who, a month aN hewed 42 corves in seven hours, beating a comradelis'a corves, has since performed a meritorious feat. A P i , f o r was wedged in by a fall of coal, and the deputy. on', bis Burn to "hew him out."

THE CHARTISTS.—The government trials of the e ido , ists commenced at the Central Criminal Court on F 1 a ti o before Justices Erle and Williams when nearly Wo prisoners were placed at the ba r bul the trial of on l Y _ a s was proceeded with. The charge against the prisoner;bo principally maintained on the evidence of Powell 0 . joined the Chartist body "for curiosity" and who se „,inst deuce made out clearly a conspiracy to levy war, the Queen and establish a republic in London, van c "d a p to be burnt.

Of BANK OF ENGLAND.—At the half-yearly meetilro, the proprietors of bank stock on Thursday the directors pent. posed a dividend at the rate of 31 per cent., or 7 P,e r ; tbe per annum. To this an amend m e n t was m oved tna' ba lf' dividend should continue to be 41 per cent. for the for year. The governor alleged, as the principal r eason re , the court of directors not having in the first instanento posed a dividend of 4i per cent., that their profits i°' ol er half-year would not admit of a larger one. its at ble bank meetings for the same purpose, very considers a ll discussion took place as to the propriety of div, i , d p in r g eSt• the profits beyond the three millions set apart as the rte' wi T ll n b g e E se L t E tl p ed HA b N y Afterwards the amendment, as far as regarded t"`„ rr ieci priety of declaring a dividend of 4k per cent. was „;: s tion ELEPHANT appeal B to w t E h L e L b ,s a . l —On by a majority of the proprietors present ; but the cl— t paersong elephant at Wombwe ll's gave a wholesome lesso l '„, - ,,, a cione disposed to play tricks with this gigantic and "oter animal.
