Ltteraturi: POETRY.:! SONNET ON THE LOSS OF THE "ORION." BY DR. GEORGE ASPINALL. (For the Liverpool Standard.) Forth in her strength the proud Orion sails; All hearts elate, on gain or pleasure bent; From prow to helm security prevails, And feeling deep of holiday content. The eve sets in, and now in converse light, Or game at chess, they speed the hours along; While those on deck essay to cheer the night With random snatches of some homely song. The night wears on, and 10l a sleep profound Seals drooping eyelids down. Hark t whence that shock? That rush of water?—that despairing sound?— The stately ship—alas ! she's struck yon rock Downward she sinks beneath the 'gulphing wave! The souls of all t:►e drown'd, may Jesu gave l Grove-street, July let, 1850. • • VARIETIES. A vessel recently cleared at New Orleans, for Turk's Island, with a cargo of " Mississippi mud," intended to be sold to the " salt rakers," for manuring their gardens. It is noted, as the origin of the term haberdasher, that a " berdash" was a name anciently given in England to a sort of neck-dress ; and the person who made or sold such neck-dresses was called a " berdasher." HARD-WORIE.—Lord Campbell took his seat in the Queen's Bench on Tuesday week, at a few minutes after the usual time, and addressing the jury said, " Gentlemen, I am some minutes after my time; but as I was sitting as Speaker of the House of Lords until near four o'clock this morning, I trust you will excuse it." The gentle men of the jury thereupon bowed to his lordship, and proceeded to business. A VILLAGE OF MADHOUSES,—In the midst of the Campine, a desolate tract of moor and heath, occupying a large part of the province of Antwerp, to the east of that. city stands a large village called Gheel, the inhabitants of. which, chiefly peasants, have devoted themselves far cen turies to a singular branch of industry. They employ themselves in takine charge of insane persons, who, to the number of 700 or 800, are sent hither from all parts of Belgium, and they execute the trust with honesty, and feeling forbearance. The mild system of treating lunacy has long prevailed here. Gheel is said to have become famous for the treatment of mental disease, from the mar tyrdom of an Irish saint, named Dympna, on this spot, and from the cures wrought upon, pilgrims who have resorted hither for centuries to worship at her shrine, and adorn her relics. She has, in consequence, become the patron saint of Ghee). and her altar is a very curious, ela borate combination of wood-carving, with gothic tracery and painting.—Hayhe's Sketches in Belgium. Gimsow.—The ardent genius and pictorial eye of Gib bon rendered him an incomparable delineator of events ; and his powerful mind made him seize the general and characteristic features of society and manners, as they appear in different parts of the world, as well as the traits of individual greatness. His descriptions of the Roman empire in the zenith of its power, as it existed in the time of Augustus ; of its decline and long protracted old age, under Constantine and his successors on the Byzantine throne; of the manners of the' pastoral nations, who, under different names, and fora succession of ases, pressed upon and at last overturned the Empire; of the Saracens, who, issuing from the lands of Arabia, with the Koran in one hand and the scimitar in the other, urged on their resistless course. till they were arrested by the Atlantic on the one side, and the Indian Ocean on the other ; of the stern Crusaders, who, nursed amid the cloistered shades and castellated realms of Europe, struggled with that devastating horde " when 'twits strongest, and ruled it when 'twas wildest ;" of the long agony, silent decay, and ultimate resurrection of the Eternal City ; are so many immortal pictures, which to the end of the world will fascinate every ardent and imaginative mind.— Air. Alison's Essays. MADAME ANNA BISHOP IN MEXICO.—A correspondent of the Mobile Register, of the 25th ultimo, writing: from Mexico says :—" That celebrated cantatrice, having by her splendid vocal powers turned all the heads in the Mexican capital, Mr. Bochsa was applied to by several musical amateurs, of a town in the interior of the re p'ublic for Madame to give a concert. Accordingly he wrote to the proprietor of the only place in the town where a musical performance could at all be given, viz., an open cockpit. arena, to ascertain terms, &c., &c. When the answer came, an I with a contract in due form, Mr. Beam was not• a little puzzled at finding, after the amount of the of the sum of hire of the National Theatre being nutted, a clause stipulating that the said sum should be paid in genuine Mexican piastres, and not in pieces of soap ! nor in cigars, nor in poultry, alive or dead ! How ever, Bochsa signed the contract,. but only obtained the clue to this strange proviso after Madame Bishop's per formance, when the gallery or graffiti money takers brought him, in account, numberless pieces of yellow soap, cigars, and two fighting cocks alive ! Mr. Bochsa remonstrated, but the Mexican colireradores said that these commodities were generally what they received for small money, and he tried to prove to the enraged direc tor that, if the soap was weighed and the cigars called by the name of Anna, he would raise a handsome profit by them. To quiet Mr. Bochsa and reconcile him to these vendibles, the money-takers gave a glowing deseription of the musical taste of a family who to hear the great prima donna and• wonderful harpist did not hesitate to part with two of the most celebrated fighting cocks of the town for six gradin tickets. Mr. Bochsa, in acknowledgement, a la Mexicanine, of this little bit of flattery, paid the mo ney-takers' salary of the night with four pieces of soap and a packet of cigars, and had the cocks cooked for sup per. ROMANTIC HISTORY.—In the reign of Edward 111., Robert Machim, an accomplished gentleman, of the second decree of nobility, loved, and was beloved by the beautiful Anna d'Arfet, the daughter of a noble of the first class. By virtue of a royal warrant, Machim was incarcerated for his presumption; and on his release endured the bitter mortification of learning that Anna had been forcibly married to a noble, who had carried her to his castle, near Bristol. A friend of Machim's had the address to intro duce himself to the family, anti became the groom of the broken-heasted Anna. who was tiles persuaded and enabled to escape on board a vessel with her lover with the view of ending her days with him in France. In their hurry and alarm they embarked without the pilot; and the sea son of the year being most unfavourable, were soon t the mercy of a dreadful storm. The desired port was missing during the night, and the vessel driven out to sea. After twelve days of suffering they discovered faint traces of land in the horizon, and succeeded in making the spot Still called Mschico, at Madeira. The exhausted Anna was conveyed on shore ; and Machim had spent three days in exploring in the neighbourhood with his friends, when the vessel, which they had left in charge of the mariners, broke nom her moorings, anti was wrecked on the coast of Morocco, where the crew were made slaves. Anna be came dumb with sorrow, and expired three days after. Machim survived her but five days, enjoining his compa nions to bury him in the same grave, under a venerable cedar, where they had, a few days before, erected a cross in acknowledgment of their happy deliverance. An in scription, composed by Machim, was carved on the cross, with the request, that the next Christian who might chance to visit the spot would erect a church there. Hav ing performed this last sad duty, the survivors fitted out the boat, which they lied drairn ashore on their landing; and, putting to sea in the hope of reaching some part of Europe, were also driven on the coast of Morocco, and rejoined their companions, but in slavery. Zargo, during an expedition of discovery to the coast of Africa, took a Spanish vessel with redeemed captives; amongst whom was an experienced pilot, who entered the service of Zargo, and gave him an account of the adventures of Machim, as communicated to him by the English captives, and of the landmarks and situations of the newly-discovered island.— Madeira, by Dr. Mason and J. Driver. MODERN v. ANCIENT LOCOMOTION.—UntiI the middle of the eiehteenth century, most of the merchandise which was conveyed from place to place in Scotland was trans ported on pack-horses; but when it was necessary to carry merchandise between distant places, a cart was used. The time required by the common carriers to complete their journey seems. when compared with our present standard of speed, quite incredible. Thus, it is recorded that the carrier between Selkirk and Edinburgh, a distance of thirty-eight miles, required a fortnight for his journey, going and returning. In 1678, a contract was made to establish a coach for passengers between Edinburgh and Glasgow, a distance of forty-four miles. This coach was to be drawn by six horses, and the journey between the two places, to and fro, was engazed to be completed in six days. Even so recently as the year 1750, the stage coach from Edinburgh to Glasgow took thirty-six hours to make the journey. In this present year, 1849, the same journey is made, by a route three miles longer, in one hour and a half ! In the year 1763 there was but one stage-coach between Edinburgh and London. This started once a month from each of these cities. It took a fortnight to perform the journey. At the same epoch the journey between London and York required four days. In 1763, the number of passengers conveyed by the coaches between London and Edinburgh could not have exceeded about twenty-five monthly, and by all means of conveyance whatever did not exceed fifty. The intercourse between London and Edir burgh in 1835 was one hundred and sixty times greater than in 1763. At present the in tercourse is increased in a much higher ratio, by the im proved facility and greater cheapness of rail wa y t rans p or t. Arthur Young, who travelled in Lancashire about the year 1770, has left us in his tour the following account of the state of the roads at that time :—" I know not," he says, " in the whole range of language, terms suffieiently expressive to describe this infernal road. Let me most seriously caution all travellers who may accidentally pro pose to travel this terrible country to avoid it as they would the devil, for a thousand to one they break their necks or their limbs by overthrow's or breakines down. They will here meet with ruts, which I actually measured' four feet deep, and floating with mud, only from a wet summer. What, therefore, must it be after a winter ? The only mending it receives is tumbling in some loose stones, which serve no other purpose than jolting a car riage in the most intolerable manner. These are not 'merely opinions, but facts; for I actually passed three carts broken down in those eighteen miles of execrable memory." He says of a road near Warring on, " This is a paved road, most infamously bad. Any person would imagine the people of the country had made it with a view to immediate destruction ! for the breadth is only sufficient for one carriage; consequently it is cut at once into ruts ; and you may easily conceive what a break-down, dislo cating road, ruts cut through a pavement must be." Ho says of a road near Newcastle, " A more dreadful road cannot be imagined. I 'was' obliged to hire two men at on e place to support nay'ehaise from overturning. Let me persuade all travellers to av o id thi s t err ibl e coun t ry , which must either dislocate their bones with broken pave ments,- or bury them in muddy san d. T Railway Economy.

Except on very poor lands the crop is expected to prove a fair average one. WAGBs.—An eminent farmer in Pembrokeshire stated the_ether day that labourers in hundreds were willing to work in that county at threepence a day and their provi sions ! The only counties in England which show an increase in the amount of poor-law relief for the half year ending at Lady-day last, as compared with the corresponding half year of 1849, are those of Northumberland and Durham. A prisoner in Edinhureh Castle, whilst endeavouring to escape, on Tuesday, fell from a high wall, on the public road, and received such injuries that he died almost immediately. On Thursday week, at Mansfield, Notts, a man under took to walk backwards five miles in an hour, and suc ceeded in accomplishing his task, with several minutes to spare. _ _ .

AN EMPTY JAIL. —Tiverton Jail is at this Moment empty, for the first time during the last seventeen: years, so that out of a population of 12,000 inhabitants there is now a single felon in custody. A youth, named Cavanah, a shoemaker, at Glossop, died on Thursday week, in consequence of drinking a small portion of beer from a match box which had been used for holding.oxelic acid. The Builder proposes terracotta tombstones, im pressed with inscriptions by moveable types before the clay as baked, as enabling the poor to erect cheap and elegant monuments to the memory of their deceased friends. There was a very severe thunder storm in London about one o'clock on Thursday morning, accompa?icd by torrents of rain. A lucifer match manufactory, irr Kent street in the Borough, was struck by lightning, • and a consi,lerable quantity of property destroyed. A few days since. at Llanrhaiadr, Denbighshire, a farm servant named Robert itdwards 'was' shot through the right jaw and brain, whilst he was hastily snatching at the muzzle of a loaded eun, which he had cohcealed amongst some sacks in a hovel. Lady Castlereakh has become a Roman Catholic. Her ladyship is daughter to Lord Roden, and wife to the eldest son of the Marquis of Londonderry. Her conversion is at present creating some sensation, as it is rumoured Lord Castlereagh is about following her example. On Thursday, a young man named Barnett having gone on board one of the halfpenny steamers on the Thames, got entangled in a coil of rope, by which his right foot was severed from the leg, which was subsequently obliged to be amputated at the knee. A young man, named Adam Jackson, fell from the third story of a new house in Nelson-street, Gateshead. In his fall his head came in contact with the window_ head of the ground floor, and although he fell upwards of 30 feet. he is exnected to recover. _ _ Last w• ek a William Jones, labourer in the employ of Messrs. Whitebread and Co., the brewers, met with instant death by incautiously descending into a large vat containing a quantity of foul air generated by some grains at the bottom. In January last, there were only 336,R95 quarters of grain imported, the price of wheat. being 40s. Id. The price has been uniformly lower ever since, and vet the im ports of grain have risen to 800,000 to 1,000,000 of quar ters per month On Tuesday the children of Mr. Lewen, a visitor to Brighton. were taken to the beach to bathe, and one of them—a little girl nine years old—began to play with the wheel of the machine, which being suddenly set in mo tion, passed over the child's head and killed it on the spot. UNEXPECTED GOOD FORTUNE.—On Monday, as the inventory of the late E. Fulcher's furniture, &c., was beine taken, a box was found, among some old wearing apparel, which contained £530 in notes and ; gold.— Norfolk Chronicle. The bullion in both depart ments of the Rank of Eng land has increased from £16.912,277 to £16,966,823, being a difference of £24,564. The paper in actual circulation had decreased from £20,637,875 to £20,034,140, being a difference of £603,735. One of the most valuable iron mines in England has been discovered near Whitehaven. The vein is thirteen and twentyfive feet in thickness, and contains sixty-five per cent of iron. The greater part of the produce is ex pected to come down the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway. A GENEROUS LANDLORD.—TheVenerable H. C.Jones, Archdeacon of Essex, and of Br'eneisteddfod, Denbigh shire, made to his tenants at his late audit, at Llansant fraid-Clan-Conway, the munificent return of 50 per cent. on the last half-year's rent. On Friday, the Lord Mayor gave a splendid entertain ment to the masters and principal officers of the Freema sons of En2land. The guests appeared in masonic cos tume, and the scene in the Egyptian Hall was cxtremelv splendid. The novelty of the occasion attracted crowds round the doors of the Mansion-house. It is said that Louis Philippe's fortune is divided by his will among his children and his grand-children, in eight equal parts, and that the share of each will be 500,000 f. £20,000 per annum ; so that Louis Philippe's private fortune, notwithstanding the great depreciation within the last two years, amounts to £160,000 sterling a year. On Wednesday morning last, about two o'clock, a storm of thunder and lightning passed over Walshford, near Wetherby, and killed a sheep belonging to Mr. John Whincup. In the same field the electric fluid split a very large tree in a hundred pieces. There were up wards of seventy sheen in the field. The Victoria Dock at hull is to be opened to-morrow, on which occasion the directors of the dock company and numbers of the merAants and others of the port are to dine together. The mayor has suggested that, on an oc casion of so much importance to the town, the day should be generally observed as a holiday. Early on Monday morning a prize-fight took place at Long Eaton, a village not far from Nottingham, between two young men named Hall and Brown. After an hour and a quarter's fighting, Brown fell quite exhausted, and lay vomiting blood. He died soon after, when Hall in stantly decamped. THE FIRE IN DARLEY MAIN COLLIERY.—The fire continues in this pit, and men are employed in using means to extinguish it, and in doing so they find the black or choke damp so strong that it is much feared some lives will be lost in the hazardous undertaking. Not less than five men were drawn out of the pit on Wednesday morning in a senseless state, and from the effects of the black damp which they had imbibed they had to be conveyed to their homes in carts. _ A little boy named Swinbank, six or seven years old, living near Kendal, went yesterday week to count some lambs, and in so doing thrust his head through the bars of a gate, which was not on hinges, but was loose, and leaned against the gateposts. The gate fell down, carry ing the boy with it, one bar being beneath his chin, and another behind his head ; and his sister, who was alarmed by his screams, found him thus pinned to the earth, with the skin as completely s t r i ppe d f rom t h e crown o f hi s head, as if he had been scalped by an American Indian. The movement against the new Post-office Sunday regulations has already been commenced. On Thursday the London newspaper proprietors met, with the view of in 'ucing parliament to retrace th e i r s t eps as regar d s the alterations which have just been made in the trans mission of letters and newspapers throu g h th e P os t- o ffi ce on Sunday. Resolutions were passed; and the meeting also resolved that the ministry had shrunk from their duty in stopping the use of the post for the weekly news papers, in an address moved by only 95 members of the House of Commons. A respectable young man, named Toogood, who re cently attended a lecture on electricity at Wookey, near Wells, submitted to be electrified, and received so vio lent a shock in his left arm that it has been rendered quite useless. It appears to be questionable whether the limb 'still ever regain its former powers. A young gentleman of studious habits, named Hind, died in London,. yesterday week, from the effects of a dose of turpentine and quicksilver, which he had taken from a prescription in a pamphlet entitled, " Every man his own Physician," as he laboured under a hallucination that he had a tapeworm, which gnawed at his liver. A correspondent of the Cambrian says that while a col lier named Williams, who acts as a baptist minister, was baptising a woman by immersion in the river Twrch, on Sunday week, both he and the woman sank in a pool, and would probably have been drowned if a man named Davies had not leaped into the water and rescued them. The gossips of a town not far from Edinburgh have had ample scope for scandal for the last few days, in a most distressing event which has occurred in the family of a reverend gentleman, whose wife has abandoned home, husband, and family for a foreigner, with whom she has eloped. ILLEGALITY OF HEAPED MEASURIL—The magistrates of the borough of Leeds have fined several parties sum moned before them by the Inspector of Weights and Measures for that borough, for selling green gooseberries by measures heaped above the brim; heaped measure being abolished by the sth and 6th William IV., c. 63. On Monday the celebrated charger belonging to Lord Gough which bore his lordship throughout all the Indian campaigns was being landed in the East India Docks, when the box broke from the slings and the animal was killed. Lord Gough, who highly prized the animal, had it conveyed from India at a great expense. The straw in a carrier's van, which was proceeding from Staplehurst to Cranbrook, Kent, on Friday week, was fired by some ashes from the driver's pipe; and before the flames could be extinguished, a valuable parcel of books was destroyed, and some cheese completely toasted. The Mormonites are endeavouring to make proselytes in Cheltenham, for which purpose they hold meetings in the Town-hall. Crowds are gathered together by idle curiosity, and on Sunday week a serious disturbance was created in the hall by the determination of some of the auditory to eject the leaders of the sect. The Literary Gazette of Saturday says, " Mr.tibson, of Rome, now in England, has received an order for a colossal group, in marble, of figures of her Majesty, sup ported on either side by justice and clemency. The figure of the Queen will be, we believe, ten feet in height, the side figures eight feet. This group will occupy a place in the new Houses of Parliament." Mrs. Breece, housekeeper to G. Davies, Esq., surgeon. of Machynlleth, feeling indisposed, entered her master's surgery, and took thence a packet, which she imagined to be Epsom salts, but which contained oxalic acid. This she took, and immediately became very ill. Although assistance was promptly rendered she died in less than an hour. • EVENING CLASSES FOR YOUNG MEN INLONDON AND THE SUBURBS.—On Tuesday a meeting of the promoters of this excellent movement was held at the London Tavern, the Right Hon. the Earl of Harrowby in the chair. The occasion was celebrated by a supper, and a number of clergymen attended. The year's trial of the system has been most successful. A boy, seven years old, the son of a farmer named Moorhouse, living at Doncaster, died last week from te tanus caused, in the opinion of his medical attendants, by inflimmation of the membranes and spine, arising from a cold which he had caught by wading in ditches, while playing truant from school, and then concealing from his parents that his feet were wet. PARLOUR BEES.—On Wednesday week a swarm of bees took their flight from Mr. Robert Poole's brick yard, about half a mile from Bridgewater, and took up their abode inside the parlour window of Mr. Glencross, tea dealer, Castle street. Not the least orisinal part of the matter is, that they effected an entrance through the aperture made for the pullies on which the sash cord runs. Mr. Thomas Smithson, tobacco and snuff manufacturer, of Micklecote, York, was condemned on Monday to pay £5OO to the Queen, a commuted penalty for extensive adulterations of tobacco and snuff at his warehouses in the above city. The Times in reporting the case says that "the adulterations in some cases amounted to 29.3 per cent. of the entire article, and that nothing on the premises had escaped the hand of the adulterer!" The proposed site of a new park in London comprises the open fields between Highbury and Holloway, bounded by the Great Northern Railway, and the reservoirs of the New River Company in the Green-lanes. The western, eastern, and southern districts of the metropolis have already been provided with parks at the public expense; the norther,. is the only district for which no such provi sion has been made. A MOTHER'S LovE.—A child aged two years, son of Mrs. James, of Bradwell Wharf, fell into a well near her residence, and would probably have been drowned but for the heroic conduct of its mother who, on hearing from the servant that her offspring was in the well, jumped in. took the boy up, and supported him and herself by clinging to the wall till a ladder was procured, when both were brought from their perilous position.—O.zford Chronicle. The late Mr. Youatt, in one of his orations to the members of the Veterinary College, observes. that " by the improvements in modern chernistr medical pro fession are enabled successf seat diseases which were Previously suppos not within the reach of medi cine." This trut been manifested for many years, but in no insta of greater importance to mankind than by the di. ry of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills. A gentleman connected with the Bank of England re lates that he sent seven pipes of brandy to California, in charge of a person who was proceeding thither. He has received in return an account sales, showing that he is entitled, as the gross proceeds, to one dollar and fifty cents. The brandy sold, according to this account, for 530 dollars. The charges amounted to 528 dollars fifty cents., including 329 dollars 50 cents. for duty, at the alleged rate of 100 per cent. Last week a sailing yacht, built of gutta percha, was exhibited on the Serpentine in Hyde-park, which, it was said, could neither be sunk nor overturned. Various ex periments were tried, all with success. The boat sailed equally well full of water or empty 1 An attempt made to capsize her failed. We must add that she was built on the life-boat principle, and was provided with air cells, which enab!rd her to float and make fair way even when full of water, and carrying her cargo besides. THE REV. DR. BUCKLAND.—We quote the following sad announcement from the Era :—" It is indeed a melancholy fact, although we are the first to notice it. Dr. Buckland, the Dean of Westminster—the eloquent, the witty, and the learned writer of the remarkable ' Bridgewater Treatise,' is bereft of reason, and is now an inmate of an asylum near Oxford. We cannot tell whether the study of geology has driven the learned doc tar mad, or what phase his lunacy puts on." A young man named Watkins, assistant to a chemist in Broadley-terrace, London, was found dead in his bedroom on Wednesday morning week, wi.li his head envt loped in the bedclothes, and his I. od in a kneeling posture et the foot of his bed, as if he had been praying. The surgeon who made a post-mortem examination of his body, stated that the deceased had been smothered by his head being closely covered with the bedclothes; and it is believed that Watkins had no intention of committing suicide, but accidentally stifled himself. On Monday, the consecration of the church of St. Stephen the Martyr, at Westminster, erected by Miss Burdett Coutts, at an expense of £30.000, as a memorial to her father, took place by the Bishop of London. The plan includes not only the erection of a church and incum bent's residence, but also of a school-house, or rather two school-houses, capable together of accommodating upwards of 500 children, with apartments for the masters, and all the necessary conveniences. The Duke of Wellington. the Earl of Carlisle, Viscount Castlereagh, the Duchess of Sutherland, the Marchioness of Kildare, the Countess Grey, and a long list of fashionables swelled the crowded congregation. Some of the stained glass windows are by Wailes, of Newcastle. RIOT AT DUNFERMLINE.—On Saturday evening week, about 11 o'clock, a band of " navvies," armed with blud geons and knives, made a savage attack on some of thein habitants of Dunfermline, several of whom were severely injured —one, it is feared, fatally, from a stab in the neck and fracture of the skull. Ultimately the navvies were overpowered, and eleven of them lodged in gaol. Again, on Sunday evening, two men were attacked and stabbed in the suburbs of Baldridgeburn. The feeling of the townspeople had now become much exasperated, and a certain class resolved on summary retaliation. Accord ingly, about ten o'clock next morning, a mob of 400 to 500, principally very young men and boys, paraded the streets, vowing to send all the Irish out of the town, and, proceeding to the Irishmen's lodgings, turned them sum marily out of doors, giving them time only to take their clothes with them. Only one man, we believe, resisted, having struck at one of the townsmen with an axe, and cut open his arm, for which he was severely punished by a dreadful blow from a bludgeon, which laid his scalp open. The military, assisted by the police, succeeded at last in quelling the riot. WOODEN AND IRON STEAMERS.—A lecture on the comparative merits of wood and iron as materials for the building of ships and steam-vessels was, on Monday, de livered by Mr. John Bowene, at the United Service In stitution, before a large audience of officers and gentlemen. The advantages claimed for iron ships were, he said, greater strength and stiffness, no liability to rot, or to be damaged by rats, white ants, or other vermin, increased stowage, less weight, greater tightness of the bottom and less bilge water, no caulking or coppering, and fexer re pairs (against which, however, has to be set the more frequent necessity of docking and painting), more ready applicability of water-tight bulkheads, less detriment from grounding or striking upon bars or rocks, and, for an equal number of vessels, less first cost. Iron vessels, he remarked, have heretofore been always made with wooden decks, but it would be much more desirable to make the main decks of iron. There appeared, he thought, no doubt that, by a proper distribution of the material, iron vessels might be made a good deal stronger than wooden ones ; and, therefore, from all these considera tions, he concluded that, for the construction of river steamers, coasting steamers, screw vessels and smacks, which are perpetually entering tidal harbours, and often getting aground, and, indeed, for " domestic" naviga tion of every description the superiority of iron over wood was indisputable. Wooden ships, properly coppered, he considered by far the most appropriate for vessels sailing and for men-of-w a r. The best m to et t h r o o d p i o ca f l ob e v ii ia m t a in te Ahe dangers incidental to the splint ering of iron vessels that he had yet heard of was the ap plication" of a layer of kamptulicon to the inside of the vessel. This was so elastic that, when a ball passed through it, it at once collapsed, and so effectually closed the hole just made. It also retained the splinters of the iron imbedded in it, so that the two most prominent evils of a ragged:hole, impossible to be plugged, and a large scattering of splinters, appear to be, in a great measure, remediable by the employment of this substance. SINGULAR. DEATH Or A CHILD.—A child, eight months old, lost its life on Monday in a singular manner in North Jonn-street, Lisson-grove, London. It was left in the care of a woman by its parents, who went out for the day. In the evening she put the child on a bed, and left it asleep. In about an hour after she entered the room to see if it was still sleeping, when, to her horror, she found that it had fallen off the bed into a pail of water, with its feet projecting, outwards, and was quite dead. Mr. Charles Whitney, who has been for some time amusing the English and Scotch public by imitations of celebrated speakers, American and English. and curicus specimens of American orators, is a son of General Whit ney, of the United States, who left property to the amount of 160,000 dollars. The will of the general was' disputed ; but, after much litigation, the matter has been ultimately decided, and Mr. Charles Whitney's share of the property will be about 30,000 dollars. He will shortly return to his n'itive country. BANK ROBBERY.--A paragraph has appeared in several papers apparently extracted from the New York Sun, announcing the arrest of two individuals who had arrived in the United States from Liverpool, on the 31st of May last, by the Yorkshire, and who are stated to have been clerks in a bank in Ireland, who had absconded with £25,000, which was found in a carpet bag. The facts are that but one of the parties was a clerk in a bank in Ire land. who bad absconded with £6OO only, that he was arrested at New York upon papers sent out by Messrs. Bush and Mullens, the solicitors, of London, and that, about £4OO has been recovered from him.— Times. ATTEMPT BY A LADY TO COMMIT SUICIDE.—At Bow street, on Tuesday, a lady named Catherine Williams, the widow of an officer, was charged with an attempt to drown herself at the pier near Waterloo-bridge. It appeared, that while coming by one of the Citizen boats from London bridge, her purse, containing seven pounds and some silver, had been stolen from her. She did not discover her loss until she came to an advertising office, in Catherine-street, where she went for the purpose of advertising for the situa tion of a governess, and finding herself robbed of the only money which she possessed, she attempted suicide under feelings of excitement and desperation. She was re manded. _ _ _ EXTRAORDINARY OCCURRENCE.-011 Tuesday week a portion of a coal-mine at Bilston, Staffordshire, sunk just beneath an arm of the Birmingham canal. The water rushed into the cavity yob h extreme violence. A tempo rary lock of planks was immediately thrown over the canal, and cart-loads of straw, earth, &c., were thrown into the gap, but, these, and even trees an bushes, were swallowed up, and it was long before the hole was C3lll - choked. The upper part of the arm was com pletely emptied of water. Several boats which were load ing were nearly sucked into the vortex, but by the rapid ahallowing of the water they were safely embedded in the mud. SINGULAR WILL.—The late Miss Margaret Creak, of St. Andrew's London, has left a very singular will, and property to the value of £20,000. She had left Is. each to such of her relations as chaose to prove themselves so ; a legacy of £2O to one neighbour, £lO to another, and a few trifling legacies of £2 each. She had left £5O each .to 'every houseless person in the country above 68 years of age; and all her real estate to found an hospital for aged persons, the hospital to be built, and the inmates to he habited as directed. She then gives all her personal property to a neighbour, who is appointed executor. It is evident the terms of the will cannot be carried out, the property being insufficient. TRAVELS OF A CAT.—At Whitsuntide, two years ago, Mr. John Pearson, of Ullsmoor House, Shap, removed from thence to Lanchester, in the county of Durham, taking along with him his parrot, bantam hen, and torn cat, his only live stock. Poll and Mrs. Bantam soon settled down, and evidently seemed pleased with their new residence. Not so, however, with Toni, who ap peared restless and ill at ease, and a few days after his arrival bade a final adieu to Coalpike Hall. On the seventh day after his setting out, Toni put in an appear ance at his old quarters, Ullsmoor, but finding the house tenanted with strange faces, he again set out on his travels, and eventually took up his abode at the house of the Rev. Mr. Rowlandson, where he still remains.— Westmorland Gazette. A NEW SPECIES OF FOOD.—A lace-maker of Lenton, who keeps dogs for rat-ct telling, was at a house in Not tingham, in which he chanced to go on Sunday week, when, through bravado, he worried a rat. He seized it with his teeth while yet alive, and skinned it; he then with much gusto devoured the whole animal, reserving the entrails for a last choice morsel ; and he even gnawed the fat from the skin. He afterwards worried two other rats, one of which he also entirely devoured, and declared that he was ready to serve a dog in the same way. He was not encouraged by a single voice in this beastly exhi bition, but every body around him evinced unmitigated disgust and abhorrence. We are also informed that the stocking-making inhabitants of a village a few miles south-east of Nottingham periodically aid the farmers in killing the rats which infest their stacks, and then, having skinned them, have them made into pies, which they eat with apparent relish. Indeed, it is no uncommon thing for a stranger, when pass'ng through the village, to meet men with pieces of bread in their hands and portions of some animal thereon, apparently young rabbits, but which, on inquiry, he will find to be neither more nor less than roasted rats.—Nottinghamshire Guardian. NEW METHOD OF SILVERING GLASS.—We attended an exhibition of a new species of art manufacture, by which glass, intended for either ornaments or useful pur poses, is silvered. Two exceedingly beautiful vases, the work of Lsunez, which gained the prize at the last expo sition in Paris under the reign of Louis Phillippc, were sub mitted for our examination. Some forest scenes, in which wild horses are introduced, were engraved upon them in the first style of art, and, by the application of this new process, Mr. Hale Thompson has succeeded in giving to the indented portions of the figures the full effect of work in basso reliero. The figures are executed on a thick glass shield, and are exquisitely finished, the artist not having availed himself of the assistance of hydrofluoric acid, but confined himself solely to the use of the graver, which is a more laborious and hhzardous, but at the same time a more perfect process. We also examined specimens of goblets, salt cellars, ink bottles, mirrors, jugs, and candlesticks, all of which were extremely elegant, and, although apparently frail, unquestionably durable. The colouring fluid is inserted between a double coat of glass hermetically sealed, by which means it is kept free fro m oxidation. The silver is produced by some of the nitrates or chlorides of silver, to which a stream of electricity has been applied for the purpose of depositing on the, glass the reduced metal, or else by an amalgamtion of mercury and silver, when the former mineral being driven off by ex posure to a very high temperature. the silver adheres to the inner surface of the glass. The colour of gold must undoubtedly have been obtained from a chloride of that metal, and the brilliant hues of a ruby, sapphire, and emerald, from the well known salts of chromium and co balt. —Times. POPERY SPEAKING OUT.—The follo w i ng i m p u d en t statement is copied from a Roman Catholic paper pub lished in London on Saturday last. We have not altered the italicising :—" The Bishop of Winchester, so called by the law of the land, has just p re t en d e d t o consecra t e (contrary to the doctr i ne of the Refo rmers ) a ma t er i a l building. This being in the im me di a t e v i c i n i ty o f S t. George's [Romish] Cathedral, has been constitnied into a parish church, with a particular district and resident incumbent. There has long been one uniform custom of running up these sham churches w h erever a T rue one exists. The same is being done at the present moment at Stratford, in Essex. And we may also instance the edifice constructed in the immediate vicinage of the [Roman] Catholic Church, Chelsea. Birmingham also, and Leeds, and the waste places, hitherto deserted, and the wide and spacious wilderness of the colonies, come all in for a due share of attention so soon as a [Roman] Catholic Church appears. The new place that has been thus desecrated, with the Anglican ceremony of fraud end imposture, was formerly known as the premises of the Philanthropic Society. The " Bishop of Winchester" is a brother to the Arch-resident of Lambeth, who. we pre sume, is beginning to fear for his kingdom. The only thing for these gentlemen, if they persist in annoying the Church, will be to carry the war into their own camp. Let them look to their cithedral closes, and cosy cathedral palaces, and take care that the enemy does not appear in those quarters. Not that much is to be thought of this new Philanthropic—of that as little need be said as of its neighbour, the Bedlam opposite. The only difference between them is, that one is presided over by governors who are themselves in a state of sanity, while the Philan thropic will go mad, both in its crowd of worshippers. but specially in the Delphic genius who is to preside over these poor people, and possess them with his inflated oracles." A BRITISH VETERAN.—It used to be said that a Rus sian soldier was maintained at a less cost than any other specimen of European humanity, but we beg to match the phenomenon with a British veteran and his wife who have been introduced to the public by the benevolent instru mentality of Sir William Napier. Richard O"den served in the 43rd Regiment of Foot for fourteen years and ten months, and as his services have been acknowledged by a war medal and nine clasps, we need hardly specify from what particular period of the present century these four teen years were taken. It is evident that he, in his humble capacity, fought through the hardest battles of the most famous wars in which England was ever engaged. Of his behaviour, he modestly says himself, in his appeal to his old commander—" You have seen me, sir, a different man when I was under your command." Sir William Napier briefly substantiates the claim thus conveyed by describ ing him as "an old and excellent soldier." This " old and excellent soldier," then, approved through a period of service which comprised more than the trials of an ordi nary life, is now remunerated by his country at the rata of sd. per diem, being 2s. ltd. per week, for the clothing and sustenance, lodging and taxes, of himself and his wife. As he is sixty. seven years of age, and probably not over hearty in constitution, after his Peninsular experience, he can get no employment, and his parish holds itself ex empted from any contribution to his support by the cir cumstance of the pension above-named. In these straits, with a dead son, a sick wife, and scanty rations, poor Richard Ogden appealed to his old commander in a letter, which Sir William forwarded to the Times, and which was yesterday submitted to public consideration. It is no slight credit to both soldier and colonel that the ties of service should be thus felt and acknowledged at the distance of forty years. If a trifle less than the keep of a Newfound land dog is presumed to be suffi c ient for the maint enance of a decorated veteran and his wife , it is certainly time that 44 public salaries" were measured by a new standard. During the time that Richard Ogden, with such personal merits as he is acknowledged to possess, might h ave b een readily securing a provision for his old age, he was fight ing the battle of his country between Cadiz and Bayone, and it is on this ground that he claims the fair considera tion of those whom he served . That a ft er thi s statement of his position there will be no lack of private charity to relieve his wants is probable enough, but it is not to such voluntary offerings that claims like his should be left for their recompense. He fulfilled every duty of a soldier in a soldier's hardest days, and the duty of his employers should now be discharged in turn. AN Bbrron IN BAD COMPANY.—The editor of Bell's Life in London was referee in a recent pugilistic contest for what is called " The Championship." Bendigo and Paddock were the combatants, and the former receiving a foul blow was declared the winner. Immediately a party of fellows, with bludgeons, attacked the unfortunate editor, who had some difficulty in making his escape. He has declared in his paper, that, as every vestige of re spectability has departed from " the ring," he will no longer support it or record its proceedings. The people of Nottingham, who supported Paddock, burned publicly every copy of Bell's Life they could purchase. The editor, it appears, by his own account. has frequently been insulted, assaulted and robbed. Now that he has resolved to keep out of bad company he will probably escape further injury. - - AMATEUR HANGING.—On Sunday week two fisher men belonging to Stourport performed a very remarkable feat. They were drinking at the Cross public-house, when one Levi Rowley, a man thirty years of age, inti mated to the other, Josiah Burton, who is much his junior, that he was tired of the troubles of the world and would hang himself. Burton at once offered to be his executioner, and accordingly they procured a piece of rope, and adjourned to a neighbouring spot, where a tree, well calculated for a gallows, was standing. Rowley got up upon a block of wood, and Burton soon had the rope fixed to bough and neck, then, kicking the wood away. he started his friend upon his journey to another world. He then returned to the public-house, and told his other companions what he had so cleverly performed, but nobody believed that he was telling the truth, so nobody moved. Burton presently went out again alone, and found that the features of his friend had undergone con siderable change, so he thought he had better cut him down, and ascertain if he still was serious in his determi nation to bid farewell to mortal things. This cutting down was, however, a work of difficulty, as his knife was dull, but at last he succeeded, and laid his companion upon the turf; but believing that the insensibility which the hanging man exhibited to be all sham, he again stag gered into the house and left him to his fate. The other people in the house, thinking at last that something seri ous might really have occurred, went out and found Row ley apparently dead. They immediately got him in doors, and after using the proper means for recovering him, they at last had the satisfaction to see their efforts successful. It is said that he has had enough of hanging, and is now resigned to life. ATTEMPT TO ESCAPE FROM GLOUCESTER GAOL.—One day last week, a novel and daring attempt was made by a female prisoner, named Jones, to escape from the county gaol at Gloucester. To facilitate the alterations going on at the prison, a gateway has been made in the boundary wall facing the river Severn, and, as a necessary precau tion, an officer is stationed here while the workmen are about the premises. On this occasion the officer was rather startled by observing a tall person approaching the gate from the interior of the gaol; the individual was dressed in male attire of very curious fashion, resembl ing most that of a Greek sailor. The officer immediately asked what business she—for it was a woman—.bad within the gates, when she replied that she was looking for the foreman to ask for a job of work. " Vet) , well." said the officer, who suspected a ruse, " come with me ; I will take you to the foreman," and led her back towards the interior of the prison. Having thus allured her into safe Keeping, he hinted his suspicions by saying, "the-shoes you wear were not made out of the prison ;" upon which the woman, believing that she was discovered, threw her self into a fighting attitude, and threatened to punish her captor. The disturbance which ensued brought several able keepers to the spot, and she was secured, but not until she had made a desperate resistance. Her dress consisted of a blue frock and trowsers, belonging to one of the workmen, which she had by some means contrived to obtain, and a cap, which she had made in her cell. Her female garments were tucked in under this disguise, and, of course, gave her a singular appearance. It is supposed that she had accurately surveyed the ground through the waved glass of the female prison, which over looks the spot Jones is under a sentence of ten years' transportation.—Hereford Journal. A CHAPTER OF MBA OVENTURES.—The North British Mail states that, a fortnight ago a foreign gentleman arrived in Glasgow by the half-past one, a.m., Caledonian train from the south. On arriving at the station in Buchanan-street, he called a cab, and ordered the driver to take him to a lodging-house. Accordingly, along with his luggage, consisting of two boxes, a carpet bag, and a writing desk, containing money and bills, he was driven as directed. In the morning the unfortunate stranger left his lodgings to take a walk through the town ; but, in endeavouring to find his way back, he lost all knowledge of the whereabouts -of the house at which he had slept. After a fruitless search he enterea a cab about one, p.m., and ordered the driver to drive him to a respectable. hotel. He was accordingly taken to the London Hotel, Mr. Clark's, where he made known his sorry plight. An ad vertisement was instantly sent to one of the newspapers for the discovery of his property, but almost immediately after his taking up his abode at Mr. Clark's, the unfor tunate gentleman was struck with palsy, an•l was linable to give further intelligence of his movements on the eve ning of his arrival. He expired in his hotel on 'Thursday evening, but not before his lost luggage, containing a small sum of money, and documents relating to property. &c-, of the highest import"nce, was discovered. The police, in the interim, it seems, had used every effort to obtain some trace of it, but, for a while, without success, till on Thursday last, the cabman, to whom it had origi nally been entrusted, appeared, and explained that it had been left at an hotel in Paisley, and there the articles were found, safe and sound. The cabman had been prevented, it appears, from making the necessary explanation at an earlier period, by having himself encountered a misadven ture as singular as any other section of the "strange eventful history." He had gone to the Bromielaw to take leave of a friend on board a coasting-vessel. and while the two were carousing over a bottle the ship sailed, and he awakened from his potations to find himself far out at sea. However, on being landed, and ascertaining the circum stance, he, as soon as possible, wound up this " chapter of misadventures" by offering a solution of the others and detailing his own. How THE II ISH ARE BROUGHT OVER.—On Tuesday, at the Southwark Police-court, three Irish boys, the eldest not fifteen years of age, in tattered garments, and in a perfectly destitute condition, were brought before - Mr. A'Beckett, having been found lying down on th e st e p s o f a house in the parish of St. Olave , s, Southwark.—A Po liceman stated, that while on duty in the neighbourhood of Tooley-street, between one and two o'clock that morn ing he saw the three boys lying asleep together on the steps of a door, and on awaking tnern he put some ques tions to them, to which they answered by informing him that they had recently come over from Ireland in quest of work, but not succeeding in obtaining any there were reduced to starvation. He added that they also assured him that it was not of their own accord that they came to this• country, but that they were placed on board a vessel at Cork by the parochial officers of the town where they lived, who paid their passage to London, but did not furnish them with the means of support when they landed, telling them that as soon as they arrived they would ob tain employment and beenabled to live cornfortably.—The three . .loys, who were without shoes or stockings, and ragged and filthy in appearance, were brought into court. The poor little fellows seemed almost untp quainted with the English language, but the magistrate selected the most intelligent lad of the three, to whom he put several ques tions as to the reason he and his companions left Ireland, and the answers will evince the scandalous system adopted by the parochial authorities of some towns in that country in sending over paupers here and paying a trifle for their passage, so as to ge rid of the burden of their support.— Mr. A'Beckett (to the eldest boy): Where have you come from ? From the county of Cork.--What place? Dun. manway. I was in the workhouse there.—Mr.A'Beckett : Why did you leave that place ?—Boy : Because Mr. Ha milton, one of the gentlemen there, said that I would get plenty of work and victuals if I left the workhouse and came over to England.—Mr. A'Beckett: Who paid for your passage ?—Boy : Mr. Hamilton, I believe, paid the money.—Mr. A'Beckett : Were there any more boys sent away f om the workhouse with you ?—Boy : Yes, sir ; there were twenty-one boys picked out, and we were all put on board the ship.and brought over here as deck pas sengers.—Mr. ekett : Did they supply you with food while on board ?—Boy : Yes, sir, we had some bread given to us, but nothing else besides water.—Mr. A'Beckett : Where have you been living since you came to London ? Boy : In no house, sir. We tried to get work, but could not find any one to employ us, and so we have been wan dering about the town sleeping sometimes under the arches of the raile ay and at other times on the steps of houses near the water side.—Mr. A'Beckett said, he had heard quite enough to convince him of the injurious zffects of sending over from Ireland a number of these poor desti tute creatures—the parochial authorities of some places in that country being only desirous of getting rid of them, careless as to what privations they were subjected to after wards. The magistrate then directed that the boys should be taken to the workhouse of the, parish in which they were found destitute, in order that they might be relieved and sassed over to Ireland. To THE LADIES.—At this period, when the beauty of the season invites to out-door enjoyment, the fair sex are of necessity exposed to those i n fl uences w hi c h are peculi arly prejudicial to personal comfort and attraction. The solar heat produces on the delicate skin the permanent stain of tan, the disfigure men t o f f rec kl e, an d not unfre quently a discoloration and swelling, which gradually assume one of the multitudinous ,forms of eruption. During the ride, promenade, aquatic excursion, or while otherwise exposed to the scorching rays of the sun, ladies will find '' ROWLANDS' KALYDOR" a most refreshing preparation for the complexion, dispelling the cloud of languor and relaxation, allaying all heat and irri tability, a.;l immediately affording the pleasing sensation attending restored elasticity, and healthful state of the skin. Composed essentially of choice exotics of balsamic nature, utterly free front all mineral admixture, and pleasing and delightful inAts effects, Rowlands' Kalydor tends to neutralize the action of the atmosphere upon the skin, and to promote thAt healthy action of the microsco pic/ vessels, by which i general well-being and the beauty of its appearance are o essentially promoted.. Freckles, sunburn, tan, spots, imples, flushes and discolouratioos are eradicated by it application, and gi . ve . place to a deli cately soft, clew, a d fair skin. Its purifying and refresh ing properties have obtained its exclusive selection by Her Majesty the Queen, the Court, and the Royal Family of Great Britain, and the several Courts of Europe, together with the elite of the aristocracy, from the sultry climes of India to the troZen realms of the Czar. The high reputa tion it bears iinduces unprincipled shopkeepers to offer their spurious Kalydors for sale, .containing mineral a stringents utterly ruinous to the complexion,. and by their repe ll an t action endangering health. It is therefore im perative on purchasers to see that the words " Rowlands' Kalydor" are on the wrapper, and " A. Rowland & Sons, 20, Hatton Garden," also engraved on the Government Stamp affixed on each bottle. Price 4s. 6d. and Bs. fsit Sold by the proprietors, and by aU respectable chemists. and perfumers.
