In a few minutes Mr. Sandhogs returned to the kit chen, clad in his best suit, to receive the opinion of his wife as to the improved character of his appearance. Mrs. Sandhogs twisted her " guidrean" round and round, tried to pull the wrinkles out of his coat behind, pinched up the frill of his shirt, and ultimately pronounced that she thought he would do—at least, thank guidness, she said, he was clean and sweet once more. Then, having kissed him, she despatched him on his errand after the deaf Postle thwaite. Mrs. Sandhogs was still engaged in the interesting pro cess of unpacking her trunks in the kitchen, when a hawker of flowers, with a basket of all colours on his head, stopped before the railings, and observing the lady down stairs, immediately commenced cryi g---" Fine flowers ! sweet-scented flowers! handsome flowers I—all a-blowing—all a-growing I" Elcy, observing the bright scarlet blossoms of the gera niums, and the long crimson drops of the fuchsias swing ing backwards and forwards in the wind, and the pink balls of roses, nodding at every motion of the huckster's head, called out to her mother to come and see what beautiful plants the man had got. The street-seller no sooner caught sight of Mrs. Sand boys, than he shouted again*" Fine flowers ! sweet sc.mted flowers. Take any old clothes for 'em, ma'am You may have the pick of t_he baske_t tor_ an old coat." Mrs Sandboys shook her head, but the street-seller eeing her still look up, put his basket down on the pave ment, and began trying to have a deal with her down the Burns and H hood a prey to zi deney ; he wrot and in his prods e contrary, had his joyous rr y reaction of npoied with rections ifterwa eqnablt ch :ter. and thou.?. purpose, he waenevrr for a moment c i the Sheet for exam p task of driv often as they recuk of pt'n and a Bond natu ched fr sat e in ,n, though steadfast, was of a quiet 1 Iniffi,d, :Is It otten happened, in his Surely pursuit of liters "an those Take, St down lr•ountered tempt at fici vastly pleasant and cattle from Ettrlck to the drary month of red the notion of getting a no manuscript in hand, he verses, arid as into a shop to borrow a stump • to note them down.

Now's your time, ladies; all a-blowing! all a- growing Eley,at her mother's request, stepped out into the area to tell the man that they didn't want any. But the cunning dealer having once got the girl into conversation, handed her down a pot of mignionette, and begged her just to put her nose to that there. As she sniffed at the fragrant flowers, the man said he'd accept of anything, he didn't mind what it was, how old or how dirty, for he had not taken a penny all that day. Any old trowsers, Miss, if you'll tell your ma, or an old hat, or a pair of boots—it's all the same, Miss; though they a'n't no use to you, they're as good as money to us. Take that there pot in to your ma, Miss, and ax Ler just to put her nose to it, and then say whether she doesn't think such a nosegay as that there a'n't worth an old straw bonnet, or some white linen rags Eley trotted in with the plant, vowing that she had never in all her life seen such beautiful flowers as the man had in his basket,—the geraniums quite made her eyes ache to look at them; and then she told her mother that the man said he would take anything for them, even old The novelty of the transaction, the beauty of the plants, and the seeming wonderful cheapness of them, all pro duced such an effect upon Mrs. Sandboy's mind, that she began to consider what useless article she had with her that she could offer the man in exchange foi one of them. After much cogitation, they both came to the conclusion that the trowsers which Mr. Stedboys had worn in the morning were too shabby for hint to put on in London ; they were the "old things," said his wife, " which he had split to pieces in going after that tiresome pig, and which, on second thoughts, she had considered quite good enough for him to travel in ; and now, as the new ones she had bought him at Cockermouth had come to band, why, there was no necessity for her keeping the others any' longer ; and she knew very well, unless she got rid of the nasty, shabby cid things, Cursty would be making his appearance in them some day ; whereas, it she took them out in flowers, it woulu prevent his ever wearing them again. The determination once formed, Mrs. Sandbcls mo tioned the flower-seller to the street-door, while Elcy was despatched to fetch the trowsers that her lather had re cently taken off. The street-seller, on seeing the garments, declared that they were hardly worth putting in his basket, and carry ing home. "It the lady had got an old coat, he'd let her have that there handsome fuchsia for it, 'cause the skirts was valuable—let it be ever so much worn—for making cloth caps for boys, and the office r s in the army ; or, he wouldn't mind chucking in that partic'lar fine 'artsease for an old weskit, for they came in handy for parsons' gaiters, but trowsers was no account at all ; however, he didn't like to be hard with the ladies, so he'd give 'em that there lovely Chaney-rose for the trowsers and a silver sixpence." Mrs. Sandboys, however, was woman of the world enough to be a good bargainer; so, as fast as the huck ster decried her husband's old breeches, she did the same for the street-seller's flowers. In doe commercial style each professed to be equally careless about dealing with the otber. and vet each was eaually anxious for the bar- At length, after much haggling, it was agreed that Mrs. Sandboys should have a pot of mignionette and a couple of cut moss-roses for the garment ; whereupon the old trowsers were transferred to the flower-seller's long black bag, and the flowers to the care of Mrs. Sandboys. Immediately the man had closed the door, the native of Buttermere hastened to Mrs. Fokesell to shew her the bargain she had effected ; and while the ladies were engaged in snuffing one after another at the delicious per fume of the blossoms, a violent knock came to the door, and in a minute the breathless Mr. Sandboys stood pant ing before his wife. - Presently be explained, by snatches between his gasps, how he had got into an omnibus on his way to the station house to which Jobby bad been taken by the policeman, for, as he said, he considered that would be the b to obtain tidings of any missing party—and how, after his pocket to feel for his money, and discovered to his The con he had come out without any quence was, he proceeded to any, that he had to stop the 'bus and acquaint the conductor with his misfortune ; whereupon the man abused him in the most shameful manner, and collared him in the middle of the road, say ing he was a hoary•headed old cheat, and it would serve him right if he knocked his head off his shoulders, as a lessen to him for the future—and Mr. Sandboys wound up by declaring he verily believed the fellow would have done it, too, if it hadn't been that, as luck would have it, he had taken his silk umbrella with him ; which, after a good deal of trouble, he had got the man to consent to hold as security for the fare. When Mr. Sandboys had finished his story, his wife asked him how he could be such a simpleton as to leave his money behind him, and requested to be informed where he had it. " In t' pockets of mey auld breeks," responded the in nocent Cursty The won' came upon his dear Aggylike a thunder knocked her do;vn with a feather." hey stared at her mother, and the mother stared at the daughter, in a maze of bewilderment. Neither liked to confess the truth to Cursty, and yet to delay doing so was every minute to di minish the probability of obtaining possession of the pre cious garments again. At length Mrs: Sandboys did venture to break the mat ter to her husband. She told him she had disposed of his trowsers only a few moments before his return for a pot of mianionette and a couple of moss roses. " Well, Aggy," cried Cursty, when he had recovered from the first shock, " thee'll have to suffer for't as well thar Was thy marriage lines that thee wud mek me bring up wi' me, to shew thee wast an honest woman, if ever and want as mud I' 'Waistoma ! waistoma !" cried poor Mrs. Sandhogs when she beard of this, to her, the greatest loss of all . At first she raved against London, and London people and London wickedness. Then she declared it was al Cursty's fault, and owing to his nasty idle habits of neve empty ing his pock. ts, when he changed his clothes, but leaving her everything to do. Next, she vowed she would go back to Buttermere that very night, for nothing but misery had befallen her ever since they had made up their mind to enjoy themselves. - 1 I FATHER GAVAZZI'S FIFTEENTH ORATION of these indefa ould not defraud them Iv admit the large amount of cle king of their schemes, however questionable the means employed in furtherance I Resuming his strictures on the doir tillable disturbers a of their due, but re verness they brought to tiv rewoven munity • were put back into their leading strings. and a network of benumbing influence silently extended over the whole surf ce of society. With a firm and tenacious . - grasp they held in grim monopoly the education of the upper classes, scorning the bulk of the people, whose initiation to knowledge they systematically discoun tenanced the jealous impediments by which they sought to obstruct and eliminate other religious fra. s -^ t ternities engaged in the teaching department, the speaks d illustrated by reference to the annals of his own ord4 e (the Barnabitet), the struggle to which they subjected tt t Scolopians (fathers of the pious schools), the Theatines Italy, and the oratorians of France. Theirs was no rat nerous e of all e.

They laboured 1 tnt Hight its privilege( , e , ovrr the ground of scien rat long of late years in France, through the.fitting insttu mentality of their tool Montalembert, to obtain in that country what they modestly entitled " le liberte d'enactg ment." In what does the liberty, now that they have got it, actually consist ? In the rampant riding roughshod over all teaching but their own ; in muzzling Michelet, and every professor of eminence in the French Univer sity : in striking terror through the ranks of the whole educated body, from the highest occupant of scientific chairs, to the lowest pedagogue of village instruction, re storing the manacles of the mind and the slavery of the soul, se far as they can venture on the forbearance of THE LIVERPOOL STANDAR% modern civilisation. But there is this difference between the chances of such a system, and the odds in favour of infidelity. Unbelief soars in the open day, like the hawk, and pounces on its prey in the full meridian blaze of noon : Jesuitism hunts in the dark, adopts the nocturnal habits of the owl, and creeps, under cover of a kindred opacity, on the vermin of its predilection. (The attitude and ex quisite pantomime with which this and other passages were delivered, is of course lost to the reader.) If they cramped the wholesome development of the mind, they were no less disastrously skilled in circumscrib ing within that of the human heart, and under the pressure of their educational thraldom, were withered not only the sacred family affections, but the more ennobling impulses of patriotism and national independence. It was a pomp ous boast of their apologists, that the generation which grew up during their discontinuance, from 1772 to 17.90, was thereby left to achieve all the atrocities of the French revolution. This statement he canvassed in its various bearings. The chief actors in the more disreputable scenes of that period were of an age to represent the youth of their colleges ; but the glowing energies and vigorous re solves which shattered the old superstructure of social decrepitude, and demolished despotism throughout the land it had cumbered for ages, could never have been the work of Jesuitical training, fit but to suckle slaves ; while the wretched poltroons who fled into emigration, and made no stand for their rotten cause, were mostly of an age to have been scholars of the Jesuits. A COSTLY Nasr.—A farmer, not far from Leicester, missed two X 5 notes from a box in which he had placed them, about a fortnight since, and a few days afterwards discovered a mouse-hole near the spot. On taking up two or three bricks he found both the notes, but in a great number of pieces. By a careful arrangement of the fragments he was enabled to get them cashed.—Leicester Journal. Mrs: Jerningham, who resides in Plymouth, is a mem ber of one of the most rigid Roman Catholic families in the country, and sister-in-law of the Lady Abbess of" the Lodge," at Taunton, has abjured Romaniem, and joined the Church of -England. Two of this lady's children have been removed from her by her husband, and placed in the Taunton nunnery. The case will be brought under the notice of parliament. The Times, yesterday week, contained, with the sup plement, no less than 1988 advertisements ; of which the supplement alone contained 1489. We are within the mark when we take the average charge for these at Bs. 6d. each. The sum received by the treasurer of the leading journal for the whole 1988 advertisements would, at this rate of charge, be £845 3s. ; of which he would have to pay to the revenue £149 2s. MR. BATTY'S ELEPHANTS.—One of the greatest no velties ever seen in England is now in the possessian of Mr. W. Batty, of Astley's Amphitheatre, having been landed in the East India Docks the other day, viz., an elephant and its infant sucking at the breast. The mother is an immense animal, stands about 10 feet high, and the infant three feet in height. The animals are exported from Mazapore, East Indies, about 700 miles up the country, and were bought from the natives. THE TRIPLE SUICIDE.—In the case of the three young girls, servants, at Ma-ch, nho drank laudanum and went out into the fields to die, the inquest has been brought to a conclusion. The jury found a verdict of felo de se in the ca-e of Sutton, and that the other two had aided and abetted in the crime. The girl Roberts, on being asked what she had to say, replied, nothing, but that deceased and she were partners, and she loved her so that she thought she would like to die with her. The two girls were committed for trial on a charge of wilful murder. ILLUMINATING CLOCKS.—The Lancaster Gazette states that the Messrs. Blaylock and Co., of Carlisle, have invented a new moae of lighting up turret-clock faces with gas-light, on a principle which is perfectly self regulating. The clock lights itself at the proper hour, namely, at sunset each night, and nearly extinguishes itself at sunrise each morning, and follows the setting and rising of the sun from the shortest to the longest day, and again from the longest to the shortest day, with only a half-yearly adjustment. In the course of a fire, yesterday week, on Bread-hill, London, three women in the fourth story were for a short time in an appalling situation. Two •,f them rushed over the flaming staircase, and fortunately reached the street. The other sought to escape by the roof, but was unable. Suddenly, when her destruction appeared inevitable, she sprang to a hoisting rope, and, after clinging to it for a moment, slid down safely, to the great joy of all the spectators. Her hands were sadly excoriated by the descent. It were absurd to expect from the tuition of men, ac complices in all the tyrannies, and participators in all the oppressions that ever crushed the hopes of mankind, the daring and the determination requisite to rid the world of the fuut and fraudulent imposition. Pedagogues of that sort may produce partisans for Don Carlos or the Portu guese Caligula, Don Miguel ; they may try and teach the youth of the Two Sicilies to obey Ferdinand and Naples, as they equally sought to uphold that other sanguinary idiot, Ferdinand of Spain. But constitutional monarchy is on its march ; whether in that form, or in republican plenitude, the approach of freedom is inevitable ; and the co-existence of Jesuitism with its emancipating advent being found utterly impossible, that sinister society is doomed. Talk of consciracies and secret associations, in the face of the permanent gang of hidden plotters against all in dividual and national security. The foul term cannot touch us. For the recovery of its existence a nation needs not, does not conspire. The hour of deliverance comes round in the appointed course of providential wis dom, and the breath of the people is the hurricane that sweeps in purifying bias s over the face of the land. He (the father) never joined any secret society in his youth, nor would he now in the maturity of his manhood. He knew his fellow exiles from Italy, and could vouch:for the feelings of friendly reverence they bore to the institu tions of this glorious country, which had sheltered them from the hand of oppression. (Cheers ) He proceeded to stigmatise the Jesuit conspirators at Friburg and Lti cerne. Nor was Switzerland the only free nation marked out for their intrigues and malignant activity. The object and obvious drift of the late aggressive and insulting mea sures of he Pope revealed the same agency busily engaged in accomplishing here a similar work of discord. Into the details of this often thrashed argument he entered with all the freshness of indet.tigable indignat'on. and wielded the flail of his unflagging eloquence, by belabour ing alternately the Austrian envoy at Rome (Prince Es terhazy) and the Westminster cardinal. whose alliance offensive and defensive with the Jesuits, he exhibited as a bargain mutually advantageous to the contracting parties, however disastrous to the interests of true relig►on, the peace of the country, and the integrity of the empire. TYPOGRAPHICAL. CURIOSITY.—We have been shown a very interesting specimen of typographical ingenuity— an architectural elevation of the Free Church College on the Mound. composed wholly of moveable types. The effect, at a little distance, is that of a wood-cut or engrav ing, and, considering the nature of the materials, is really wonderful. The work, which is to be forwarded to the Great Exhibition, is the production of Mr. R. Romsey, a compositor, in one of the newspaper offices in town. — Edinburgh Courant. Captain George Symes, late of the Madras Artillery, met his death on Monday last in a lamentable manner. About. 11 o'clock at night two men behaved very violently outside his house, which abutted on the high road between Axminster and Lyme Regis. The captain descended and requested the men to depart, when they threw him down, knelt on his chest; and beat him fearfully with a stick about the head. From the effects of these injuries he never recovered, but remained insensiole till death re leased him from his sufferings. The ruffians are in cus tody. Crntral A new orange lodge was to be opened at Shrewsbury yesterday. Steam - communication bas been opened between Hull and Riga Government has decided on making Deptford and Ply mouth the emigration depots. The value of such a favor to a town will average about £200,000 per annum. A mtchanic died in Guy's Hospital, on Friday, from Lock jaw. The only thing that could be administered to him was a little brandy and water. John Isaacs, the captain of the Frimley gang of rob bers, was on Thursday committed for trial for the bur glary at Uckfield. About £5OO in cash has been stolen from the store keeper's office of the Royal gunpowder works near Waltham Abbey. Three men are in custody. At Edinburgh, last week. a servant on the railway was knocked down by a train, w hick, passing over him, sepa rated his head from his body in an instant of time. GREAT EXHIBITION.-0595 .packages had been received up to the 12th inst. A party of 3,600 French National Guards are expected to arrive on the 30th instant. _ • The Leeds Mercury. of Saturday last, in an article eulo gistic of Rotherham College, proclaims, in reference to that institut'on—which has "existed nearly one hundred years," and which has ranked among its tutors " some of the most eminent divines and scholars of which the century can boast"—that, " nevertheless, it has partaken of the common lot of voluntarily supported institutions, and has often st►uggled for existence. Having at one time been buoyant in prosperity, it has, after a while, fallen into poverty, and has been threatened with extinc tion." . . THE POISONING IN NOTTS.—The coroner's inquest on the body of Joseph Barber, who is supposed to have been poisoned by his wife and her paramour, at Eastwood, Notts, was resumed on Tuesday and Wednesday last. After hearing a great deal of evidence, the jury returned a verdict, That the deceased Joseph Barber has died in consequence of a nose of arsenic administered to him, and that this jury believe that such arsenic was administered by Sarah Barber and Robert Ingram." The two pri soners were forthwith committed to take their trial on the charge of wilful murder at the next Nottinghamshire FORTUNATE DISCOVERY AT HOLYWELL.—As a poor labouring man was digging his garden, in the neighbour hood of Greenfield, on Friday, the 11th instant. he dis covered at a few inches below the surface seven guineas of the reign of George 111., and also two massive gold rings of a most beautiful antique description, one of which bears the following inscription :—" My heart joins with you." As may naturally be expected, digging was renewed with vigour, but only two more guineas were discovered. Twenty-two shillings were offered for each of the guineas by several tradesmen in Holywell, but it was refused, as the fortunate finder expected he would receive more for them in Liverpool, whither he has gone, but we have not yet been acquainted as to his success. — Chester Chronicle. CLAIMANTS FOR THE DIINMOW FLITCH.—It is un derstood that in this year there is a bong fide claim for the ancient guerdon of the gammon of bacon. It is no secret that the applicants, who have now been blessed in the bonds of matrimony about 14 months, are resident at Felsted, the husband having a small farm of his own there, and a man of some property. It is somewhat re markable that it is just now a century ago since the bacon was obtained by John Shakeshaft and his wife, in 1751, and the only real aspirants to the honour since were a couple from Reading, Berks, about 17 years ago, when they took up their residence for that purpose at the Sara cen's Head Inn, Dunmow, for three weeks, but from some cause not very well known, their object was rather sud denly abandoned.—Bury Post. IRON SHIPBUILDING. — The iron ship building trade continues to flourish here. Mr. Thomas Toward, of St. Peter's, launched a most beautiful iron screw vessel for the Sidney trade on Wednesday afternoon. The owner, H. G. Smith, Esq., was present with a large party, besides many hundreds collected to witness the scene. The day being fine, and many gay flags flying, guns firing, and the presence of a great number of ladies, rendered the launch one of the most gay and animated scenes imaginable. The vessel, which was named the Keera, glided beauti fully into the water amidst the deafening cheers of the assembled crowd. Messrs. R. Stephenson and Co., of this town, supply the engines to her, and altogether there is no doubt that this vessel will prove that nowhere can better or cheaper iron vessels be built than on the Tyne.— Newcastle Journal. The Times reports a meeting of " fraternal democrats" on Tuesday, at the Literary Institution, John-street, Tottenham-court-road, to sympathise with the foreign refugees. The chairman denounced the " man known by the contemptible title of Lord Lyndhurst" as having risen, with others he could name, to rank by no very honourable means. A man named Petty said, " the fault of the refugees was over humanity. If they had been more judicious they would have exterminated their ene mies," advice which he fervently hoped, next time, the " friends of liberty" would attend to rather than " spare their oppressors.' Mr. Harney denounced " that incar nation of villany, Metternich," " the blood-stained King of Naples," the " base scoundrel, Sir James Graham." the " pot-bellied bourgeoise readers of the Times." He " threatened that if the Government ejected these virtu ous refugees, they would ret4liate on such men as the Austrian and Russian ambassadors. If the alien law were carried, he advised every one of them to take one of their foreign brethren to their own homes, and only suc cumb to force. (Cheers.) He then continued in support of universal brotherhood ; they agreed with Paine ' that the world was their country.' It was said these refugees were conspiring against their Governments. It was right and their duty to do so. They also conspired, they ex pressed their sympathies with them, and when the time came when the people had their own rgain they would conspire in deeds." DISGRACEFUL IGNORANCE.—A few days since a man named Newmarch was brought up at 'Worship-street Police-court, London, charged with a brutal assault upon his wife and daughter. The face of the wife was terribly contused, one of the eyes of the daughter, a little girl between eight and nine, was both bruised and swollen, and it was evident that they had been. most shamefully treated but upon the daughter being questioned by the magistrate, she answered that she had never been sent to school, never went to church or chapel, had never been taught the difference between good and evil, and, in fact, had not the slightest idea of the consequences of speaking falsely. The magistrate could not therefore receive her testimony, upon which the wife said that her eldest son could speak to the same circumstances, and the son, a grown up young mart of 22, was therefore placed in the box to give evidence ; but upon his being questioned in a similar manner, he gave precisely the same answers, and the wife herself acknowledged that the whole of her family had been brought up in the same way, although her hus band earned very good wages, and that she herself had never attended divine service during the whole time she had been married. The magistrate severely. reprehended the woman's conduct, and, saying that it was one of the most disgraceful instances of utter neglect and careless ness on the part of a wife anti mother he ever knew, ordered the husband to find bail for his appearance on that day fortnight, and directed the woman to take her son and daughter to. the minister of her parish without loss of time, that they might in the interval acquire some notion of their duties to themselves and society, and be fit, when the man was again brought up, to give such evidence as would be likely to render him amenable to justice: • • • - EXECUTION 01. THE FRIMLEY MURDERERS.—OnWed nesday, Levi Harwood and Samuel Jones were executed at Horsmonger-lane gaol, for the murder of the Rev. G. Holiest at Frimley. On the previous night. Jones made a full confession of the (teed to the chaplain, declaring every word that Hiram Smith had said to be true : " There were in the room at the time of the murder, Smith, myself, and Levi Harwood. I held Mrs. Holiest round the waist. had a pistol in my hand, and might have shot her, but never intended to do it. Levi Harwood was the man that rushed at Mr. Holiest. I believe that Mr. Holiest was stooping to pick up the poker, and that Levi Harwood was the man who fired the shot." He said with emphasis, "I am certain of that. The account given by Sm ith of what took. place in the room is quite true ; and Mrs. Hol iest is mistaken in swearing as to her belief thatit was Levi Harwood who held her, as it was me. The bag of money was taken from a chest of drawers, or a little table down stairs. On the Sund-y night, when at the Rose and Crown, I took the penny token (that which was sworn to on the trial as having been taken from Frimley par sonage.)" It was not till the morning of the execution that Levi Harwood admitted the truth of what Jones had said, adding, however, "What was done was never in ' tended to be done." Before the last. service, Jones ex pressed a hope that Harwood did not feel displeased at his making any confession. Harwood said, " Not the least. ; I forgive everybody." The two men shook hands. Both were in tears. At the foot of the gallows they trem bled, and were much moved. The chaplain distinctly asked each prisoner if he felt any comforting assurance that he would find mercy at the hands of the Redeemer; and they immediately, and apparently with firmne-s. said they did. They put out their hands as well as they could to all around them, saying that they had been kindly treated, and then mounted the scaffold.
