Billault has declined to try to form a cabinet. The Moniteur contains a report from M. Leon Faucher on public works, accompanied by returns from all parts of France of works needed to be done, with a view to their being undertaken. The first body of emigrants for California, amounting to 130, sailed from Havre on the 11th, on board the Malouin. Count Alexis de Sr. Priest, former Peer of France, Minister Plenipotentiary, and Member of the Academy died at Moscow on th, An ordinance of tf, that, in order to dimir hawking about the band, of household ut cutlery, or other articles f ult. • ice placarded in Paris enacts e obstacles to circulation, the either in handcarts or by playthings, boxes, stationery, streets e, shall cease from the Ist of February next. Exceptions are, however, to be made in favour of hawkers of fruit, vegetables, and turf for fuel ; but they are not to be allowed to traffic within a certain distance of the markets. An extraordinaryinstanee has just occurred in Paris of the "ness in the case of sur- danger arising from- want of c gical instruments. Two or three days since a young fe male residing in the place St. Georges, while walking with her sister in the Faubonrg St. Germain, was suddenly taken ill, and on being taken into a shop, she was bled by a medical man, who happened to be accidentally passing. On the following day she felt her arm very painful, and as it afterwards began to swell and become inflamed, medical advice was sent for, when it was ascertained that she had been bled by a foul lancet. Amputation was impossible, as the inflammation had extended too far, and the poor -ed, after horrible suffering. A similar case is .A 1 a short time since at Marseilles. AND CAPTURE.—A young man, belong ily of a respectable merchant in Paris, has -fed before the judicial authorities of Paris, ' the daughter of Baron -, a young girl ea said to ha' occurr( ELOPEM ing to the f just been With carry ARRIVAL OF THE AFRICA On Saturday night, about nine o'clock, the British and North American Royal Mail steam-ship Africa, Captain Ryrie, arrived off the bar at the entrance of this port, but, owing to the state of the tide, did not reach the Sloyne till half-past two on Sunday morning. She sailed from New York at twenty minutes past noon on the Bth instant, and at 9.50 a.m. the next day passed the Royal Mail steam-ship Asia, from hence to New York. The Africa brings 75 passengers, about half a million dollars in gold and silver, and the usual mails from the United States, Canada, &c. I and co-opera- The TT '- united States Mail steam-ship Empire City had arrived at New York on the 7th instant, with Havannah dates to the 2d inclusive, and 350.000 dollars in specie. The steam-ship Prometheus arrived at New York on the 4th instant, with dates from California to Sept. 5, 465 passengers, and gold-dust worth about a million and a half of dollars. There are also later dates from the British West Indies by this arrival than we had previously received by the West India mail direct. From Valparaiso we have four days later, but from Buenos Ayres and Monte Video the intelligence had been anticipated by the last Brazil mail. The cities of San Francisco and Sacramento have again been the scene of a terrible tragedy, in the summary exe cution of criminals by the hands of the people. The accounts from the mining districts continue to be favour able. It appears that the robbers and highwaymen who infest the Isthmus of Panama, attacked the specie train, which was destined for the United States, a few days before the sailing of the steamship Ohio, and succeeded in plun dering it to the amount of 200,000 dols. In Texas the drought has been so severe in the frontier counties, between the Trinity and Brazos, that the grass through a belt of country more than a hundred miles broad is literally parched up. At the last advices it was so dry that, when rubbed between the hands, it crumbled like dry furze. It appears that the grand jury at Philadelphia have found bills of indictment against four white men and thirty-four negroes, for treason, in participating in the anti-slavery outrage at Christiana, in the state of Penn sylvania. The prisoners are now confined at Philadelphia on indictments for treason against the government. The trials have been set down for the 24th of November. The four great American products, grain, pork, cotton, and sugar, were rather inactive in the New York market, owing to the unsettled state of financial affairs. The mo nied men of Boston appear to be again anticipating trou ble : the Philadelphians are beginning to feel the pressure, and the generality of people are looking out for breakers. The people of Grayson county, Virginia, have offered 1000 dollars reward for the apprehension of an abolitionist named Bacon. The latter was probably saved by getting beyond the limits of that state. The citizens of Toronto are in favour of appropriating 4'400,000 towards the construction of the Guelph and Toronto Railroad. A strong movement is being made in Maryland, to pre vail upon President Fillmore to exert the friendly influence of this government with Great Britain, in behaif of Smith O'Brien and other Irish exiles. It is supposed that the petition now circulating for this object, in Baltimore, will have at least 20,000 signatures. The Governor-general of Canada has not yet been able to form a ministry. He has sent for Mr. Morin, speaker of the Legislative Assembly, to form a cabinet. The crops in Georgia, Mississippi, and elsewhere in the south, are said to have been somewhat damaged by early frosts. The cotton market at New Orleans is reported to be extremely dull, and these frosts may have the effect of enlivening the trade. Our last advices from Nicaragua state that General Munoz had marched upon Granada, the seat of Senor Montenegro's government, with a view to capture the city, and put an end to that government. No informa tion as to the result had been received, and it was re ported to be halted by the way at Nicaragua. Late advices from the city of Mezico state that the cabinet resigned in a body on the 2d of September, and much dissatisfaction prevailed throughout the country, which was in the most deplorable and abject condition. Our letters from the Pacific Coast revort that Chili was in a state of tranquillity. The Capiapo Railway Com pany bad increased their capital to 1,000,000 dollars. Affairs in San Grenada continued unsettled. The amount of specie imported into Valparaiso for the half-year ended June, from California, Mexico, and Capiapo, was 4,041,200 dollars. The New York money and stock markets continued to be well sustained up to the date of the Bth instant. The supply of prominent securities has been somewhat in creased; but all that are offered find ready takers. The heavy payments of the season, and the impaired confidence in mercantile failures here and at Boston, had caused an active demand for money, and rates of discount out of bank continue to rule at from 12 to 18 per cent. per annum. Loans "on call" command 7 per cent. Con sidering the great pressure for money, the failures have been neither numerous nor important. CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.—THE KAFFIR WAR. By the Stornaway, we have advices from China of July 5, and St. Helena of September 16. There are advices from the Cape, via St. Helena, to August 22d. The Graham's Town Journal of the 12th August says that British Kaffraria was quiet. Heavy firing had been heard in the direction of Fish River, about where Stock and Tela were reported to be in force. Above Graham's Sound to Orange River, a distance of 300 miles, the whole line had been devastated. Sheep, cattle, and horses, were all swept away and destroyed, the whole border being marked by the burning ruins of fired farm houses. Lower Albany, with some little exception, had, until last week, escaped these ravages ; but the pursued natives have rushed hither, and already we have tidings of burning houses and beggared families. Lieutenant Scanlend had been severely wounded by some marauders. A traveller from the mouth of the Kowie reports the roads in that district as quite trodden down by the num bers of the enemy, and part of the Kareiga country appears to be in their possession. He observed a chain of fires along the Bushman's river. Signal fires had also been seen on the 12th of August. It is feared that Oli phant Hook will be in great danger unless immediate help is afforded. Bloem Sontem accounts of 28th July state that many of the Boers, hitherto acting with the govern ment, were now holding hack; Mashesh was in commu nication with them, and doing much mischief. Several of the Boers intended to join the enemy. The Monitor says the post brings the usual sad details of devastation and plunder in the frontier districts of Somerset and the neighbourhood of Sidbury. A few miles from the former the Kaffirs ware swarming. The inhabitants were flying. The sheep dying in large numbers from drought. There was an alarm, apparently but too well founded, of further defection among the Cape corps at Outlands. Universal desertion was prevented by Captain Solis in aid of the British president. Matters were in a very dangerous state, and the resi dents were compelled to act on the defensive till receipt of reinforcements. Sir Harry Smith, it is understood, is authorised to draw troops from St. Helena, as well as Mauritius and Bombay. The Cape Shipping Gazette of the 15th says,—" Sir Harry Smith had ordered a strong force to march to Lower Albany. Major Warden had called out all the forces against Moshesh and Molitsane. Two companies of the 45th regiment, and 500 Zooloos had been sent from Natal to assist Major Warden." ST. HELENA.—The troops at St. Helena are expected to be drawn to the Cape. INDIA AND CHINA The Overland 'lndia mail supplies intelligence from Bombay to the ith ult., and China to the 23rd of August. There has been another outbreak in Malabar amongst the Moplabs, which was not put down without serious loss of life. The fanatics, to the number of seventeen, would neither surrender nor ask for quarter, so they were all put to death with arms in their hands, whilst making the most desperate resistance.—Letters from Cashmere, dated the 12th ult., mention that the Maharajah Gholab Singh has been seriously ill, and that, under the apprehension that his native doctors had been tampering with him, and were disposed to administer poison to him, his Highness had applied to Sir Henry Lawrence to send him a European physician. Sickness was very prevalent at Peshawur, and Europeans and natives, officers and pri vates, were all suffering alike from fever and ague, and the hospitals were in consequence crowded with patients. —The news irom Cabool is of a more pacific tendency than has been its character of late. The Ameer had suc ceeded in settling the disputes of the Khyberies to the satisfaction of both parties.—The gold market was Belt. Funds and bank stock rising. Five per Cent Loan, 105.

AUSTRALIA The Elizabeth Browd, from Sydney, July 18, had been wrecked in Torres Straits, and the barque Friends had sunk at the entrance of the Sarawak River.

Winter had im peded operations, but they would be recommenced with vigour on the approach of spring. SYDNEY GoLD.—Extract of a letter from Sydney : " The extent of the gold field is still undefined, but the presence of the precious metal in considerable abundance along the whole of the dividing ranges is now beyond all scepticism, The severity of the winter impedes the ope rations of the diggers and the progress of discovery, but the return of spring will attract an immense population to the diggings."—We understand a requisition has been made to the Governor-General of India to send two European regiments as soon as possible to New South Wales, because an immense immigration is expected in consequence of the discovery of gold, and the government have not the means of preserving the peace if there should be any attempt to infringe it. —• ECCLESIASTICAL NEWS.

A meeting has been held at the Town-hall of Gravesend for the purpose of raising a subscription to build a church in the room of the proprietary chapel of St. John's, which has been sold by its owner to the Roman Catholics. The Sisters of Mercy at Plymouth are stated to have purchased a chapel recently erected for one Burgess, a " Latter-day Saint,' whose congregation hare since deserted him, and intend using it as a schoolhouse. The structure is a large one. The Bishop of Bath and Wells has issued a pastoral to his clergy, urgine them, in compliance with a circular from the Archbishop of Canterbury, to hold within every church and chapel in his diocese, Advent Sunday as a suitable day in commemoration of the third jubilee of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel. . - VISITATION OF TIIE BISHOP OP MANCHESTER.—The Bishop of Manchester has fixed his first visitation at the following places and times :—Parish Church, Bolton, Satur day, Nov. 8, half-past 10 a.m. - Preston, Nov. 10, at 1; Blackburn, Nov. 11, at 12 ; Burnley, Nov. 12, at 12 ; Bury, Nov. 13, at 12; Manchester Cathedral, Nov. 14, at 11 ; Lancaster, Nov. 15, at 11 o'clock. The new church at Dolgelly, erected in accordance with the parental wish, by the daughter of the late Robert Vaughan Richards, Esq., the lady who some time ago was married to the Spanish General Cabrera, was conse crated on Wednesday last by the Lord Bishop of Bangor. The bishop preached from Eccles. v. 2, and afterwards administered the holy sacrament. _ .

THE CAMBERWELL TRAGEDY.—On Wednesday morn ing, at half-past ten, Mrs. Fawcett, the widow of Anthony Fawcett, who murdered his two children and committed suicide on the 31st ult., died. Since the fatal occurrence Mrs. Fawcett and her daughter Mary Ann, aged eight years, who was so severely cut about the throat, arms, and fingers iby her father, in attempting to end her existence, had been received into the house of Mr. Lee, a neighbour, resident at No. 4, Elizabeth-place, Wyndham-road, where they have ever since remained. She perished from the shock the system had sustained. - - ALLEGED POISONING AT BATA.—An investigation has been going on the whole of the week before the magistrates of Bath, respecting an alleged case of the poisoning of an illegitimate child by its mother. The affair has created a good deal of excitement, owing to the respectable position in society of the prisoner, Caroline Elizabeth Lewis. The prisoner, who had gone by the name of Mrs. Slater, is the daughter of a lady of high respectability at Redland, near Bristol. She had formed an intimacy with a Mr. Crosby, a solicitor of Bristol, the result of which was the birth of the child in question. The child was put out to nurse at Bath, and the prisoner was in the habit of visiting it occa sionally. After each visit the child showed symptoms of illness, which excited suspicion, and at length led to its death. From a post mortem examination it appeared that the child's death was caused by arsenic, and the prisoner was fully committed to take her trial for the wilful murder. HOLLOWAY'S PILLS ARE AN INFALLIBLE REMEDY FOR THE CURE OF COUGHS, COJ,IIt, AND ASTHMAS.— There are daily so many undepiehle proofs of the efficacy of Holloway's Pills in the odies of diseases of the chest, arising either from old padghs, recent colds, wheezings or shortness of breathy hat all persons, whether young or old, suffering from such complaints, should have imme diate recourse to - these invaluable Pills, as a fair trial will show their extraordinary powers. Many persons who were scarely(able to draw their breath, and apparently at death's tinnr, have been completely cured by this remedy, to th,vastonishrnent of those who have witnessed their sufferings. THE GREAT EXHIBITION. TUESDAY.—The attendance of exhibitors and their friends to-day was much more numerous than on Monday, but still the interior was by no means inconveniently crowded. The preparations for the final ceremonial were in rapid progress, and among the visitors a painful sensa tion was experienced on finding that the Crystal Foun tain, that favourite rendezvous, that central attraction of the building, had been entirely removed during the pre ceding night. Her Majesty, accompanied by the Prince, came again to the building, and made the round of the galleries. The Queen visited portions of the United States, Russian, and Belgian displays, and in taking her departure shortly be fore t , velve o'clock, with her usual kindness. and conde scension took notice of the old Cornish pedestrian fisher woman, who had been placed in her way, and with hearty emphasis said, " God bless your Majesty." THE CLOSING PROCEEDINGS. WEDNESDAY.—The last act of a most eventful drama has been played out to its close. and the Great Exhibition of the Industry of all Nations is now a thing of the past. If this day is to be regarded as the funeral of the Exhibition, the clouds were most lavish in their display of sympathy for that mournful event. The arrival of about 25,000 people at the building in the midst of so much wet and disnomfort testifies pretty strongly to the interest with which the final ceremony was regarded; nor, had the issue of admissions been twice, or even three times as nu merous, is there any reason to believe that a correspond ing increase in the attendance would not have been mani fested. In accordance, however, with the plan of the programme, which embraced no procession, and contem plated acts confined to one spot in the centre of the build ing, the number of invitations issued by the Commission was limited.. The display of people, therefore, was not comparable, in point of effect, to what it has been at va rious times, and this necessity of the occasion farther threw upon the Executive Committee the disagreeable and repulsive duty of refusing an immense number of ap plications coming from most influential quarters, and yet which they felt ought not to be granted. Of the aspect which the interior presented before twelve o'clock, when the business of the day commenced, it is unnecessary to say much. On a spacious platform, erected on the site of the crystal fountain, and covered with scarlet cloth, a large table had been placed, with chairs of all nations arranged round it for the accommodation of the Royal Commission. For his Royal Highness Prince Albert, as President, the splendid ivory throne presented by the Rajah of Travan core to her Majesty was placed, and, to render his posi tion more conspicuous, it was raised a little above the level of the platform. Under this chair of state a small, but superb, Indian carpet was spread. The area of the tran sept had been reserved for the foreign and local Commis sioners, the jurors, the lady exhibitors, and others enti tled to a special privilege of entry, and sears for them were disposed in such a manner round the platform that they had the utmost facilities which the construction of the building afforded for seeing and hearing the proceed ings. Exhibitors, members of the Society of Arts, chair men, secretaries, and members of local committees, and all others not entitled to enter at the south entrance, were admitted at the eastern and western ends of the building, and of course took up such positions in the nave, or the galleries overlooking it, as appeared to them best adapted for securing a good view of the ceremony. As the time appointed for commencing the business of the day ap proached, the choir formed by the Sacred Harmonic So ciety took up its position in the south gallery of the tran sept, and, in the absence of Mr. Costa, Dr. Wylde pre sided. The reserved seats were occupied by a numerous and distinguished company, among whom, and close to the platform, were Lord John Russell, Sir Charles Wood, the Earl of Carlisle, Sir George Grey, Mr."Labouchere, the Right IlOn. Fox Maule, and other members of the Government. Several of the diplomatic corps were also present, and among them the American, Prussian, and Bel gian ministers. Beyond the limits of the transept, the nave east and west for a considerable way was crowded with spectators, and the galleries commanding a view of the central point almost as far as the eye could reach. I Precisely at twelve o'clock tbe Royal Commissioners, headed by the Executive Committee, moved in a species of procession from their apartments to the platform. They were accompanied by the Bishop of London in his robes, and on their appearance the immense assembly rose and welcomed them with loud cheers, while the choir performed the first verse of the National Anthem. Hav ing taken their seats, Viscount Canning rose and read the Report of the Juries. _ _ _ _ His Lordship was cheered at the close of his address, and concluded by presenting a list of the names of those exhibitors entitled to rewards, together with the Reports of the Juries. The passages of the document which refer to the subject of the Council medal appeared to attract consid , rable attention, and not to meet with the approval of some of the foreign Commissioners. His Royal Highness Prince Albert having received the Reports presented, read with much emphasis, and especially towards the close, areplv expressing the thanks of the Royal Commissioners to the Juries, the foreign Commissioners, the English Local Commissioners, and other official par ties who had, in various ways, contributed to the success of the Exhibition. The closing paragraph is as follows: . . " In now taking leave of all tho e who have so materially aided us in their respective characters of jurors and associates, foreign and local con'imissioners, members and secretaries of local and sectional committees, members of the Society of Arts and exhibitors, I cannot refrain from remarking, with heart felt pleasure, the singular harmony which has prevailed among the eminent men representing so many national interests—a harmony which cannot end with the event which produced it. Let us receive it as an auspicious omen for the future; and, while we return our humble and hearty thanks to Almighty God for the blessing He has vouchsafed to our labours, let us all earnestly pray that that Divine Providence which has so benignantly watched over and shielded this illustration of na ture's productions, conceived by human intellect, and fashioned by human skill, may still protect us, and may grant that this interchange of knowledge, resulting from the meeting of en lightened people in friendly rivalry, may be dispersed far and wide over distant lands ; and thus, by sliming our mutual de pendence upon each other, be a happy means of promoting unity among nations, and peace and goodwill among the va rious races of mankind." The members of the Royal Commission remained standing while the Prince addressed them, and when he proceeded to thank the foreign Commissioners for their services the leading personages of that body advanced to the platform. So it was also when the Prince referred to the Society of Arts, to the Council of which body, hacked up by its Royal President, it must always be remembered that the country is mainly indebted for the Great Exhibi tion. The close of the Prince's reply was loudly cheered —a compliment rather personal than arising from any knowledge of what was said. At the close of the Prince's reply the second verse of the National Anthem was performed with great energy ; after which the Bishop of London offered up the follow ing Prayer of Thanksgiving : "0, Almighty and Most Merciful God, Father of all man kind, who bast made of one blood all nations of men, to serve and worship Thee, and by their words and works to glorify Thy holy name, who didst send Thine only Son into the world to reconcile it unto Thee, and to unite all men in one brother hood of holiness and love; we, thine unworthy servants, most humbly beseech Thee to accept our offering of prayer and praise. From Thee alone proceed all good counsels and all useful works, and by Thee alone are they conducted to a prosperous end. " We acknowledge, with all humility and thankfulness, the gracious answer which Thou bast vouchsafed to the prayers of our Queen and her people in blessing, with a wonderful mea• sure of success, an undertaking designed to exhibit the glories of Thy creation, to promote the useful exercise of those facul ties which Thou bast implanted in the sons of men, and to encourage the growth of peace and brotherly love. " We humbly thank Thee, 0 Lord, that Thou bast graciously prospered the counsels of him who conceived, and of those who have carried out, that great design ; and that Thou bast mercifully protected from harm the multitudes who have thronged this building. We acknowledge it to be of Thy goodness that a spirit of order and mutual kindness, of loyalty to our Sovereign, of obedience to the law, and of respect for the sanctity of Thy Sabbath, has been manifested by the people of this country, in the sight of those who have been here gathered together from all parts of the world. " We thank Thee also, that Thou bast disposed the hearts of many nations to enter upon► a generous and peaceful compe tition in those arts which, by Thy merciful appointment, min ister to the comfort of man, and redound to Thy glory, as the Giver of every good and perfect gift. " We devoutly pray, that all may be led to acknowledge Thy power, wisdom, and goodness in the achievements of man's industry and skill, and may depart to their several homes to `speak in their own tongues the wonderful works of God.' Continue to them, we beseech Thee, Thy favour and protec tion ; let Thy good providence conduct them in safety to their native land, and bless them with prosperity and peace. Grant, 0 Lord, that this gathering of Thy servants from every nation may be the token and pledge of a continued intercourse of mutual kindness between the different branches of Thy uni versal family. May it contribute to the growth of Christian love, and hasten the coming of that blessed reign of peace, when ' nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.' " Lastly, we pray Thee with Thy favour to behold our Sove reign Lady Queen Victoria, the Prince Albert, Albert• Prince of Wales, and all the Royal family; to continue to this nation the manifold gifts which thy goodness has so long abundantly showered upon it ; to save and defend all Christian Kings, Princes, and Governors, and to bless Thy people committed to their charge. Give them grace that they may in all things seek Thy honour and glory; and be diligent in the heavenly work of enlightening and purifying mankind; of diffusing through the world the blessings of peace ; and of extending the kingdom of Thy dear Son, who has taught us to approach Thee as our common Parent, and to say:— "Our Father, which art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive them that trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil; for Thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.' " The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Ghost, be with us all evermore. Amen." The Hallelujah chorus formed an effective and appro priate termination to the proceedings of the day, and the Prince and the Royal Commissioners, at its conclusion, took their departure amid the hearty cheers of the assem blage. As soon as they were gone the barriers were re moved, the seats and other temporary arrangements were swept away, and the stroke of hammers in every direction told that the work of removal and demolition had fairly commenced. The Great Exhibition is now, therefore, fairly at an end. Its fleeting glories are past, and all that remains of a pageant which has concentrated on this metropolis the curiosity of the whole world lies in the results which it leaves behind it, and in the gigantic building wherein it found its temporary home. On Thursday autograph letters, of a highly compli mentary character, were addressed by his Royal Highness to Colonel Reid, Mr. Cole, Mr. Dilke, Dr. Lyon Playfair, and Colonel Lloyd. In these the prince uses the most grfitifying, and yet nicely discriminated expressions of acanowledgment, for the services which the gentlemen named have rendered in carrying to a successful close the work of the Exhibition. His Royal Highness announces his intention of presenting each with a gold medal, in commemoration of his connexion with them, and to Dr. Lyon Playfair he offers the position of gentleman-usher, vacant in his household by the appointmennt of Colonel Reid to the governorship of Malta. The marks of Royal favour are, we understand, about to be conferred upon the designer, the architect, and the engineer of the Crystal Palace. Mr. Paxton, Mr. Fox, and Mr. Cubitt, are to be knighted. We give the names of the successful Liverpool exhibi tors. Jury 3. Prize medal. Richardson Brothers, roll tobacco and snuff. Jury 4. Prize medal, E. Rea, collec tion of resins. Jury 5.

Of council medals, the United Kingdom gained 125 ;. France, 74; and the United States, 7. Of prize medals, 1,207 are allotted to the United Kingdom, 520 to France, and 96 to the - United States. The United Kingdom gained most prizes for machinery and iron work generally, while France takes precedence of us in jewellery, silk, stuffs, and light fabrics. The Governmentbas sanctioned a considerablerelaxation in the Custom-house regulations relative to the foreign goods still remaining in the Exhibition, the effect of which will be to enable the owners to find a ready market for them in this country.— Observer. During the whole period of the Exhibition the bad money received amounted to £9O in silver and half a sove reign in gold. The half-crowns were the most usual bad coin, and it is a noticeable fact that nearly all the bad money was taken on the krlf-crown areal five-shilling days. The Morning Chronicle states that the Austrian and United States Commissioners have issued a circular to the Exhibitors, in which they propose to remove to America the most remarkable objects in the London exhibition, to be exhibited in New York in April next. It was said that agents had been making preliminary arrangements in all the exhibiting countries of Europe, with this object in view, and from these assurances of co-operation had been received. HIGH SHERIEF IN CUSTOD%—ne High-Sheriff of a city in the south of Ireland was accused, last week, in the Crystal Palace, to his great amazement, of picking pockets, and transferred to the care of the police. The worthy gentleman repudiated the charge with horror and indignation ; nevertheless a purse of eighteen sovereigns was found in his pocket, which he avowed did not belong to him. The assurances of the High Sheriff, who gave his- address, set the local authorities on the alert, and after a sharp scrutiny of the visitors, the detectives re cognised a noted member of the swell mob, who, it appears, a few minutes before, had relieved a' visitor of the identical purse, which was instantaneously missed, and the scoundrel fearing exposure, conveyed the purse with singular dexterity to the pocket of the Trish High- Sheriff, who was in his vicinity, and as quicklrdisapneared in the crowd. Explanations and apologies-followed, of course, satisfactory, and the innocent gentleman was restored to the society of his sister and her daughter, whom he accompanied from Ireland to see the wonders of the Exhibition, but he never imagined a scene so wonder ful as the missing purse. IRELAND. Ri,,hard Browne, boatman, died at Passage West; cork, last week, after having drank a dozen glasses of whisky within an hour The whisky was ordered for him bp two strangers in a diabolical frolic. _ GALWAY.-A. novel exportation is about to take place. The Alert, direct from Copenhagen, is chartered to take about 80 mules hence to Vera Cruz, which are being pur chased up by an agent in this and the adjoining counties. A failure in Belfast (Messrs. Thomas Bell and Co,) is reported this week. The liabilities are about X 30,000, and the result is likely to be unfavourable. They had been extensively engaged in the export trade, and had been importers of sugar from Demerara to some extent. A labourer on the Belfast and County Down Railway, a young man, named Denis Murray, having, for some time, been annoyed by toothache, on Tuesday last got a tooth extracted. An unusual loss of blood was, however, the immediate consequence; and the bleeding continued, notwithstanding surgical assistance was resorted to, till Thursday, when he died, apparently from exhaustion._ _ _ LOSS OI , THE GUARDIAN, OF BALLINA. — This vessel left Liverpool on the 22d Sept., for Ballyshannon, laden with coals, salt, and flour. On 10th inst., she sprung a leak having been sounded, five feet of water was found in the well, and herself in a sinking state. After an unsuccessful attempt to beach her, the master and owner left her, when she sunk in fifteen fathoms of water, four miles outside of Glenarm. The vessel was fully insured. ARREST AND RESCUE OF A MAGISTRATE.—As Mr. E. D. Freeman, J.P. of Castlecor, was proceeding on horseback towards Kanturk, on Monday, with the view as was stated of taking part in the meeting of ratepayers. he was met by two bailiffs, one of whom seized the reins of the animal which he rode. Some women who were near the spot, seeing what had occurred, gathered round the bailiffs in a threatening manner, whereupon the latter thought it prudent to make a retreat, thus leaving Mr. Freeman at liberty. This gentleman did not however appear at the public meeting which was subsequently held.—Cork Con stitution. A VERITABLE ATERMAID.—A correspondent has so lemnly assured the Derry Standard that the crew of a boat in Loughswilly, on the 4th inst., saw, within twenty yards of them, a real mermaid—a fact to which they are ready to swear ! Our informant says she turned round to look at them, and was about two feet above water. Her hair was hanging down on her neck and shoulders, and her skin was as white as the fairest lady's. How long she remained in view, or what was the nature of her physiognomy, whether plain or beautiful, deponent sayeth nct. It is a pity the crew could not catch her, as, in that case, the exhibition of such a prodigy would have made the fortune of all the fishermen on the shores of Lough swilly. SHAMEFUL CONDUCT.-At Tuam, last week, as the Rev. George Weldon was passing through the streets, he was assailed with the most savage shouts and hootings from the Popish rabble. Not content with insulting, they next proceeded to attack him with missiles of stones and dirt. Mr. Weldon firmly repelled the scandalous violence, and was at last saved from injury by the praiseworthy in terference of some of the Roman Catholics themselves, who ,witnessed the occurrence. Mr. Weldon has become obnoxious from the activity and zeal he exhibits in the faithful discharge of his sacred duties, and this is the on:y crime attributed to him by those who have thus shame fully but ineffectually attempted to intimidate him. — Connaught Watchman. FATAL ACCIDENT.—WO are just after being put in possession of a most melancholy case. The facts are as follows :—Counsellor Gibbons, of Dublin, came down in the shooting season to this county a few days ago, and while going over the lands of Drumhowner near Arva, on the estate of Mr. Hutton, a bailiff named Murtagh, on that part of the lands met him and told him that no per son had liberty to kill fowl on the lands without an order from Mr. Hutton, or the agent ; this, we believe, Mr. G. did not mind. The bailiff then insisted that he should go off the lands, and caught hold of Mr. Gibbon's fowling piece, which was a double-barrel one, one of which went off, and entered the knee or thigh of Murtagh. The wounded man lingered a few hours and then died. An inquest was held before William Pollock, Esq., coroner, when the jury acquitted Mr. Gibbons, and returned a verdict of accidental death.—Anglo Celt. ALARMING STATE OF LIMERICK.—In the last Vindi cator the following has appeared :—The night watch have been withdrawn, and the parishes of St. John's, St. Mary's, St. Munchin's, and St. Patrick's are now in a worse state than if the inhabitants of these places never had a representative its the Council, or than if Limerick never had a Corporation. 'Tis frightful to contemplate this state of things. Fever is on the increase, and some have already fallen victims. Life or property is not se cure. The respectable parishioners are obliged to remain up all night, or pay a person to stop up and protect them selves and their property. Shutters have been torn down, doors forced in, and windows smashed. A respectable citizen was stopped, a few nights past, in Cornwallis street, by a gang of ruffians, and money demanded from him at the hazard of his life. Meetings are to be held in the course of the week, to devise some moanc to protect the people of the Old Town, and to try whether the law can compel the corporation to do its duty—to light, watch, and cleanse the city. _ _ THE REAPING MACHINE A FAILURE.—MT. Skilling, the professor of agriculture in Galway College. has come forward to deny its utility. He witnessed the experi ments in England, and writes his opinion to the Evening Post, condemning the article. Not only was his own judgment adverse to the value of the invention ; but we are rather surprised to find, contrary to all the previous accounts published respecting it, that it was universally considered to be a failure. Mr. Skilling says :—" After witnessing these trials, the facts are incontrovertible, that this implement is not, at present, calculated to meet cir cumstances. All circumstances must suit it ; the ground must be perfectly level, without ridge or furrow ; the grain must be a moderately light crop and all standing. Even taking these matters into consideration, the crop can be much cheaper and better reaped by the scythe or sickle. On this head there were not two opinions in the field that day, nor have I heard any other since; the implement was acknowledged on all hands to be a decided failure.—Cork Examiner. MURDER.—A young man, named DanielAhern,wss en gaged on Wednesday evening ferrying persons across the river Bride, from Lismore races, when he was desired by others similarly employed to discontinue doing so, they conceiving he was earning more money than themselves. He, not heeding their demands, continued to earn some trifle, when the other party commenced throwing stones at him, one of which struck him in the head, and knocked him out of the boat into the river, when he was drowned. The body was next day found, and an inquest held, when a verdict of wilful murder was returned. Two men, named Barry, are fully committed to the assizes as having been of the party, The deceased was a poor widow's eon, and her only support. On the same evening a respectable farmer, named Sullivan, also returning from the races to Clonmult, county of Cork, was pulled off his horse by two men, who robbed him of his coat and some trifle of money he had about him. threatening him with death if he re sisted. He gave a description of the coat to the police, who next day saw one answering the description on a bad character, whom they arrested, and sent for Sullivan. who at once identified the prisoner as one a the robbers i he cornmitt ede—Waterford Mail, arriage, am t of thp IND COT --0.-- FRANC!
