t ittraturr. VARIETIES. A Frenchman was recently seen bargaining for half-a dozen sheep. " What are you about ?" said a friend. " I have heard say," replied Monsieur, " that if you want to make money, you must buy sheep and sell deer. I shall buy de sheep, and sell de venison !" A SAILOR'S IDEA OF GOOD MEAT.—Warburton, in his account of his voyage up the Nile, gives an amusing instance of the singular opinions held by sailors. He says :—" On arriving at Kench, we gave the crew a feast, consisting of an old ram, preferred by them to younger mutton, because it stood more chewing." ANCIENT OLDEIALL-STREET. — In the seventh year of Henry the Eighth, the present Oldhall-street, which had previously been a private road to the old hall, was made a common way, for the ease of the burgesses and common ality going with their carriages or otherwise into the fields of Liverpool. This was done by an azreewent between William More, of the Old flail. and the mayor and bur- POO Rs gesses.—Baines' History of L LOUIS PHILIP AND ME RIBS AND HALEVY The visit paid to Louis Philip at St. Leonard's, by the above celebrated gentlemen, during their recent visit to this country, is thus described in the Independance Beige :—" After dinner the conversation turned upon music, and the King, whose vast memory• astonishes all who approach him, cited some English airs, the original melody of which he admired. One of these airs appear• ing to strike M. Halevy, the King who had hummed the first part of it, sang it entirely ; then, as M. Halevy admired the rhythm, his Majesty offered to dictate it to him. M. Halevy accepted the offer, and took the pen ; but the King altering his mind, proposed to write it him self, saying that his memory would serve him better to write than to dictate. When he had finished, he handed it to M. Halevy, written in rather trembling characters ; but in the large and powerful style tbr which his writing is distinguished. M. Halevy received the paper with gratitude; but, emboldened by fly:. King's kindness, he said : —` The King is so good that he encourages my presumption, and if I dared'—' Dared !' quickly replied the King, ' what do you desire ?" This morceau of music is very precious ; but, followed by an L and a P, it would become priceless.' Ali, I understand,' said the King, you remind me that an autograph is not complete without a signature ; give it to me I will complete it.' He accordingly retook the paper, and signed and dated it, saying, ' the date and place must not be forgotten ; that will prove to our children that when Louis Philip was no longer King he yet had friends.' " THE NEW P. SIREN BUMBLE ORIGIN.- UNITED STATES-HIS a new nresid t of the United States, Millard Fillmore, affords an useful lesson, by shewing what may be accomplished in the face of the greatest obstacles, by intellect, perseverance, and strict integrity, in a public and private capacity. His fattier, Nathaniel Fillmore, was an American farmer, of hum ble means, who lived at Summer-hill, Cayuga county, New York, where Millard, now President, was born, Jan. 7, 1800. About the year 1802 he removed to the town of Sempronius, now Niles, and resided there untillBl9, when he removed to Erie county, where he still lives, cultivat ing a small farm. The narrow means of his father de prived Millard Fillmore of any advantages of education beyond what were afforded by the imperfect and ill-taught common schools of the country. Books were scarce and dear, and at the age of fifteen, when more favoured youths are far advanced in their classical studies, or enjoying in colleges the benefit of vvel more had read little excep the !Bible At that y young Fill ommon school books and vas sent into the wilds of clothiers' trade.

A monument is about to be erected in St. Paul's Ca thedral to the memory of the late George Stephenson. A fine elephant from India, for the Surrey Zoological Gardens, was landed at the London Docks on Thursday. Among the arrivals at the Isle of Man, last week, were the Marquis of Conyngham, the Earl of Roden, and Lord Jocelyn. _ _ . . . At the Hull regatta, or. Wednesday, the principal prize of £3O was won by Lord Londesbro's yacht Mosquito beating two others. At Sheffield, on Monday, an order for two shillings a week was made on a Roman Catholic priest, for an illegi timate child of which he was adjudged the father. EARLY HARVEST. - A field of black barley was cut, carried, and stacked, by Mr. Mills, at Langford Lodge, during the past week.—Bath Chronicle.

Last week two gentlemen, after upwards of an hour's labour, captured a pike in Bassenthwaite Lake, which weighed not less than 21 pounds. Nearly every berth has been engaged in " The Jenny Lind boat," so eager is the desire of the Americans, who are returning home, to be her travelling companions. Among the many visitors at Dover are the celebrated Garribaldi of Roman notoriety, and Mrs. Jermy, widow of the late Mr. Jermy, the victim of the murderer Rush. Some horned cattle and sheep, the first which have been imported from Russia, were brought by a vessel which arrived last week at Hull, from St. Petersburg. The Queen has presented to the Zoological Society the enormous land tortoise recently brought from the Cape of Good Hope in her Majesty's ship Geyser. At Northampton a father and mother are in custody, charged with poisoning their two children, aged three and four years. The crops throughout Scotland are represented as most promising : the potatoes are generally healthy and vigo rous. _ _ _ _ The Leicester Board of Guardians advertised twice for a nurse without receiving a single application, and after advertising a third time received only two. The estimated sum required to be voted for defraying the expense of a national monument to the memory of the late Sir Robert Peel is £5,250. Grisi, it is stated will not, for a family reason, be able to fulfil her Russian engagement,*for which she was to receive £4,000. Several large oak trees and hazel bushes, with nuts upon them, in a good state of preservation, havebeen found embedded in clay fifteen feet below the surface, in exca vating the new dock at West Hartlepool. It is a curious fact which has been repeatedly noticed, that the sea continues to encroach on the land at the east side of the coast of England, whilst it is receding on the west side of the island. SMITHFIELD MARKET.—The Common Council has terminated its discussion on the abolition of the nuisance by a vote of eighty-nine against, thirteen for, the aboli- tion ; majority seventy-six. A fleet of at least 200 Cornish fishing boats sailed from Howth harbour on Wednesday week, and steered towards the north, in the expectation of meeting the herring shoals. Mr. Edward Burnett, farmer, of Ripley, had a flock of twenty sheep killed by the electric fluid, during a terrific thunder storm which visited that place on the evening of Thursday week An extensive fire broke out at the steam flour mills, Poole, Dorsetshire, on Thursday. Several houses adjoin ing the mills were destroyed, together with an immense quantity of property. At Worcester, on Friday, Elizabeth Thew, aged 20, the • wife of a shoemaker, was acquitted, on the ground of in sanity, of the murder of her infant, whom she was seen to throw head-foremost into a coal-pit. On Wednesday : week a flood occurred at Woodhatn Walter, in Essex, which destroyed several cottages and other buildings. An aged woman lost tier life, and several other persons narrowly escaped being drowned. . A few evenings since, some gentlemen at Fareel, Lin colnshire, counted 226 bats which issued from a hole above a window, and more were supposed to remain be hind, as a squeaking noise was heard. On Saturday last, Mr. James Bickerstaff, of Kirkham, was taken ill whilst mowing in a field, caused by drinking cold water when the body was over-heated. The poor man lingeted until Wednesday, when death put a period to his sufferings. Deceased was 42 years old. While a p'aity of haymakers were proceeding in a wag gon to a field near .Loughborough on Friday week, the horse took fright, and backed the waggon down a slope into the canal; but fortunately the water was rot deep, and the haymakers escaped with a ducking.

Six of the latter in trying to escape from their opponents jumped into a.he river with a view of swimming across to the other side, but four were unfortunately drowned._ __ A St. Vincent's paper received by the last West India mail, the Royal Gazette, says that " pozzelana ' " a manure found in large quantities in that island, has been pronounced by Enzlish chemists to be the best manure ever discovered, and to be far preferable to guano. At Castletown assizes, Isle of Man, on Tuesday, Thos. Corlet, a lunatic, was acquitted on the ground of insanity of the murder of the boy Stephen, at Ballaugh, in May.

This year the return, made up to the 18th of July, showed the number of paupers then in the house to be one hundred and savant een appointed to the pro ? of surgery in the university, vacant by the demise of the late lamented Dr. Burns. Dr. Lawrie has for &me time occupied a similar office in the Andersonian University. The pugilistic contest betweer. id T. Griffiths, of Woolwich, William Gill, of Coventry, for £2OO, was decided, on Tuesday last, in' favour of Gill, after a fight of fifty-three rounds, the brutal display occupying one hour and forty five minutes. On Monday the assize for Rutlandshire was a maiden one, there being not one prisoner for trial. According to custom the sheriff presented the judge with a pair of white gloves.

There is a bill in tl:e House of Commons, which was printed on Monday, for abolishing the fees paid to county and other coroners, and for providing for the payment of coroners by salaries. The amount of salary is to be fixed in committee. The bill states that it would be of public advantage to discontinue the payment of fees to coroners. At the late Buckingham assizes a bill against James Ridgway, for rape, was ignored, but by a mistake another prisoner was set at liberty in his stead. The lucky culprit bad not gone far before the error was found out ; a police officer was then put on his track, and he was agftin brought back, tried, and sentenced to six months' imprisonment. The model for the bronze figure of the Duke of Rutland, which is to be set up in Leicester Market-place, has been just completed by Mr. Davis. The duke is represented in the act of receiving the address of the county deputation on the completion of the 50th year of his Lord-Lieutenancy of Leicestershire. At York, on Monday, John M'Gibbon, a merchant, residing at Hull, was indicted for having forged and at tered a bill of exchange for £B7, with intent to defraud Messrs. Raikes Currie, and Co„ bankers, in London. The prisoner was convicted on Saturday week of a similar offence, and there were now five other indictments against him for forging bills to the amount o f £l,OOO. H e was sentenced to 15 years' transportation. A brother-in-law of the prisoner, who had to give evidence against him, has since committed suicide. TIE LIVERPO STRANGE EXCUSE.--A deputation from the local short time committee at Ctitheroe, in getting signatures to a petition in favour of the Ten Hnurs Bill, called upon a Wesleyan minister stationed at Clitheroe, and requested his signature and support for so excellent and salutary a measure for the working classes, when the rev. gentleman said that " he never meddled with politics !" At Lincoln, death was recorded against Catherine Cas terton, found guilty of attempting to poison Mrs. Goodall, her mistress, the wife of a grazier at Market Deeping, by Administering mercury, corrosive sublimate, and other poisons, in her tea, when confined to her bed by influenza. The motive appears to have been revenge for dismissal from her place., On Sunday last, two excursion trains came into collision on the South-Western Railway. The shock threw off one of the passengers, a young man, who was imprudently seated on the edge of an open carriage ; he fell between the carriages and his head was run over by the wheel and literally crushed to pieces. Another passenger sustained trifling injury by the collision. The four " navvies" who had created a riot at Otley in April last, and wounded several persons with knives, one of whom almost immediately died, were found guilty of manslaughter at the York assizes last week, and one, who had been severely wounded in the scuffle, was sentenced to fifteen years' transportation, and the other three to transportation for life. At the Lewes assizes, on Wednesday, Elizabeth Bacon, aged only fifteen, was convicted of setting fire to the house of William Adams, with intent to injure him. The pri soner had been only a short time in the service of the prosecutor, and she got up in the dead of the night and set fire to the house in three separate places, having first removed her trunk to the back door. On the 17th of June a man named Manks commenced for £5O the task of walking 1,000 miles in 1,000 consecu tive hours. Since then he has continued to walk a mile at the commencement of every hour. The excitement is so great that he is visited sometimes by upwards of 90,000 spectators. He walks on the grounds attached to the Barrack Tavern, Sheffield. An explosion of a boiler occurred at Law Grange col liery. about two miles from Durham, on Monday, whereby two boys, one named Joshua Pryor, aged 15, and the other named George Armour, aged 11, lost their lives ; the fireman and a boy named Stubbs were • more or less severely injured; and considerable damage was done to the buildings. MURDER.—In the town of Ardristhraig, in 'Argyll shire, a woman has been killed by her husband, Hugh Macmillan, a mason, who struck her several heavy blows on the head with a hammer, thereby fracturing her skull. He had attempted to strangle her, and in the struggle had broken several of her ribs. Both Macmillan and his wife were addicted to drunkenness. SINGLY LAR ERROR.—The Manchester Guardian, in noticing the great meeting of sympathisers with the Bishop of Exeter, held in London on Tuesday, says " the body of the hall was crowded with clergymen and lawyers." The paragraph had been transmitted " per electric telegraph," and no doubt the wires had meta morphosed " laymen" into " lawyers." Two BROTHERS DROWNED.—On Sunday, two bro thers, named Gihb, were drowned in the Dee, close by the Inches, Aberdeen. One of the lads went in to bathe, while the other took a stroll along the bank ; calling for help, his brother went into the water, but in attempting to save him, both sank to rise no more. The youngest was eleven years of age, and the other twelve. Mr. Grimstone, the manufacturer of the celebrated eye snuff, came before the Bankruptcy Court, London, on Monday last, on an application for his certificate. His debts were about £6,000, and his credits £45. He said that his present debts were the consequence of repeated prosecutions by the government against him for making and selling his snuff, which was entirely made from Bri tish herbs. A HARR. KILLED BY A RAT.—A farmer living near Kirkcudbright, while going throueh one of his fields, a few days since, saw a rat attacking a hare, rescued the wounded hare, carried it to a considerable distance, and then released it. The rat seems, however, to have fol lowed his half-captured prey, for the clean-picked skele ton of a hare was found a day or two afterwards near the spot whither the wounded hare had been carried. • THE GREAT BULL FROM NINEVER.—The lovers of art will be pleased to hear that the Great Bull and upwards of 100 tons of sculpture, excavated by our enterprising coun tryman Dr. Layard, are now on their way to England and may be expected in the course of September. In addition to the Elgin, Phigalian, Lycian, and Boodroora marbles, our museum will soon be enriched with a magnificent series of Assyrian sculptures. A few days ago, two gentlemen of Stockton being on a shooting excursion at the Tees Bay, had the good fortune to meet with a cormorant. No less than two pounds of shot from each party were fired without the effect of destroying life, for after being captured in a distressed state by the chase, with both eyes blown completely out, the notorious wrestler with mortality nearly put an end to the existence of a large cur dog. SINGULAR RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—On Friday, the 12th instant, a man named Williams, in the employ of Mr. David Blight, of Totnes, was engaged with a cart and two horses removing hay which had been cut by the side of the railway. As the cart, laden with the hay, was drawn close by the line, the fore horse turned its head, and a passing train severed it from the body. The horse fell on the driver and injured him considerably. At York, William Ross, aged 19, was found guilty of the murder of his wife, formerly a factory girl in the same employment with her husband, at Ashton-under-Lyne. She was in ill health, and taking medicine, in which he took the opportunity to mix arsenic. The crime was brought clearly home by the evidence of his wife's family. living in the same house, and the prisoner was left for ex ecution. The motive would appear to be the obtaining of some ten pounds from two burial clubs, to enable the prisoner to emigrate to America. A few days since, George Willis, who was stated to be between eight and nine years of age, was charged at the Mansion House, London, with having attempted to stab Robert S male, aged seven years: and with having wounded Charles Wright, aged seven years, so seriously in the eye with a piece of a crab shell that the child will probably be for ever deprived of the sight of it. In consequence of Willis's tender age the sitting alderman said he should require two good securities for his good behaviour for one year; and the young prisoner, upon being locked up in the cage, began to shout, scream, and curse. MYSTERIOUS ADVERTISEMENTS.—The following sam ples of the spirit of the age appear in recent numbers of the Times :—" To Non Veni, Non Vidi.—With many thanks, Ho passato molte infeliciore."—" If R. F., of Sunde—d, who left his home on Wednesday last, will meet his friends at Mr. Frogley's, Half Moon, matters will be arranged to his satisfaction."—" If the Son who visited his father's house between one and two o'clock this morning does not return before Wednesday next, not only will the life of his oldest relative be endangered, and his own be thereby rendered miserable, but his future prospects may be utterly ruined." FATE OF MR. O'CONNOR'S ALLOTTEES.—At Oxford, on Monday, in the case of Doe. Dem. Weaving v. Gat hard and thirty others, an action of ejectment was brought against some of the unfortunate persons who had sub scribed to O'Connor's land association. The action was brought in the names of the previous owners of the land at Minster Lovel, Mr. O'Connor never having had the legal estate. It was stated, however, that they had no wish to take proceedings, which had been instituted by Mr. O'Connor's wish. It also appeared that many allot. tees had been persuaded to give up possession. The judge (Williams) declined to interfere with the transac tions between the parties, and a verdict was given for the plaintiff. the allottees being thus ejected. BATTLE BETWEEN A HAWK AND A WEASEL.—On Friday week, as two gentlemen were enjoying the recrea tion of shooting on the Birklands, Notts, they observed a hawk hovering above what they judged to be a mouse. The bird suddenly made a swoop at its intended victim, which, however, proved to be a weasel. The latter saw his danger, and instantly seized the hawk by the head. A severe struggle then ensued ; but at last the hawk suc ceeded in disengaging himself and got away. Nothing daunted, the bird of prey returned to the conflict. Soon afterwards the weasel was observed dragging the dead bird into a thicket close by, when one of the gentlemen levelled his gun, and shot the weasel, and found the hawk, as be fore described, quite dead, with its head bitten through in several places.—Doncaster Gazette. SENDINOTHREATENING LETTERS TO PRINCE ALBERT. —At the Bow-street police-office, London, on Wednes day, a tall, respectable-looking person, who gave the name of E. Bates, and described himsel f an artist, was charged with sending threatening letters to Prince Albert, for the purpose of extorting money.—Colonel Grey, equerry to his royal highness, produced five letters which had been addressed to His Royal Highness Prince Albert, signed Ed yin Bates, demanding money for a subscription waichhad been set on foot on his behalf. The first letter was received in January last, and the other four had been received at different periods since that time.—A portion of the letters was read, and the purport of them was of a threatening description.--The prisoner admitted at once that the letters were in his handwriting.—On being called upon for his defence, he made a long statement, in which he accused several persons of distinction with oppression. He hoped the magistrate would not commit him, as it would materially interfere with the subscription that had been raised by charitable individuals for his interest. — Mr. Jardine ordered the prisoner to find two good sureties in £lOO each, and himself in £2OO, to be of good behaviour for the next twelve months.—The bail was not forth coming, and the prisoner was locked up.—lt was stated that the prisoner was not right in his head occasionally. BANKERS' ACCOUNTS .-At Worcester assizes an action was brought by a corn merchant at Stourport against Messrs. Farley, Turner, and Jones, bankers, Kidder minster. The action was one of trover, and was sought to recover the sum of £751 25., remitted by plaintiff to defendants, (who were his bankers,) for the purpose of meeting an acceptance of his in favour of Messrs. Sturge, of Birmingham, but which sum, instead of so applying, they had impounded, as plaintiff was at the time indebted to them in the sum of £986. It appeared that the plaintiff had told his bankers that he could not meet the bill, and they advised him to apply to Mr. Sturge, who sent the money on the bill being renewed. The bill became due on the 25th of May ; and on the previous day plaintiff sent a messenger over to the bank at Kidder minster, with a parcel, containing £751 25., an advice of the bill, and a note to Messrs. Farley, Turner, and Jones, the purport of which was, " Gentlemen—Enclosed you have in notes and cheques £751 25., which you will please if place my credit ; will thank you to advise the enclosed bill c. The messenger was desired to call again in ten mutes at the bank; upon kis second call he was again requested to "look in again ;" and ultimately was dismissed with a packet delivered to Mr. Broad, which, on being opened, was found to contain the form of advice, and a note from Mr. Jones, stating that the bankers had placed £751 25., to the credit of plaintiff's account which had been so long unpaid, and begged to decline complying with the other request as to advising the bill. The bill was consequently returned dishonoured. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff. L STANDARD. The bullion in both departments of the Bank of Eng land has increased from £16,844,307 to £16,910,732, being a difference of £66,425. Tne paper in actual circu lation has increased from £21,605,639 to- £21,879,962, being a difference of £274,323. Tollerton, Scholey, Farrar, and Jacques were tried at Winchester Assizes for the murder of John Dawson, at Utley. The prisoners were navigators. One night, when much excited by drink, they roamed about the town, and at length began to break windows ; several inhabitants interfered, and one of them struck Tollerton a violent blow on the head with a stick. Then the navigators be came more outrageous, assailing any one who happened to come across them. John Dawson was stabbed as he came out of his house, and he died in a few moments ; his brother was also stabbed, but not fatally, and a woman was similarly wounded. Tollerton was sentenced to be transported for fifteen years, and the others for life. THE ORlON.—Considerable excitement was created at Greenock, on Thursday, by the arrival of the boats and a portion of the materials of the ill-fated Orion, consisting of deck-planks. gratings, hatches, &c., which were brought by the Dunoon Castle, from Portpatrick, with the view of being sold. Many persons visited the quay during the day, to inspect the boats, and the expres sion of one and all was one of astonishment and regret, that with such commodious and well-appointed boats, so near the shore, and with a sea as smooth as a mill-pond, such a lamentable loss of life should have ensued. The hull and materials of the Orion, as she lies, were sold by auction, at Portpatrick, on Wednesday, and were knocked down to a gentleman in the neighbourhood for £335. Peter Vanderhost, a Dutchman, formerly steward of the Batavia, Rotterdam steamer, Fitzbonnes, a Ger man touter, Margaret Hermann, a German, and Conrad Hermann, are in custody, in London, charged with steal ing gold dust and lumps of gold, lately brought from California, to the amount of £3OOO, from a German lodging-house. It was the property of an Italian and a Frenchman, who arrived in London, from California, on Tuesday. They had been successful at the " diggings," and brought with them gold lumps and gold dust to the amount of £3OOO, in a carpet bag, which contained 216 ounces of gold dust and sixteen small lumps of gold, weighing an ounce each, and a small wooden box con tained 301bs. of gold dust. _ _ _ A FATAL PRIZE FIGHT.—The little village of Frimley, near Bagshot, was the scene, on WednesdLy, of a prize fight between two men, William Gill and Thomas Grif fiths, the former an old professor of the science of pugi lism„ and the latter an aspirant for pugilistic honours. A special train from London brought down the combatants, the seconds, &c., besides a numerous company of profes sors, and amateurs of various degrees in society. The battle money was understood to be £2OO. The contest, which was a very severe one, was terminated iu the 53d round by a fearful blow, which laid Griffiths insensible on the ground. All means of procuring reanimation were without avail, and he was conveyed to a neighbouring public-house, where he expired in the evening. His an tagonist and his associates in the mean time decamped, and have as yet eluded the police. FOOL-CATCHING.—A very large number of letters have lately passed through the Dead Letter-office, each con taining a shilling's worth of stamps, addressed to a person who called himself a professor, and who, for some reason or other, was non est when the letters arrived for him. These letters were addressed to the professor in conse quence of his advertising that he would, for a shilling, give plain directions to enable ladies and gentlemen to win, by a simple but captivating and enthralling process, the devoted affections of as many of the opposite sex as their hearts may desire.' From the handwriting of these letters, it was evident that they came from old, middle aged, and young persons of both sexes, in every rank and station of life. Such a fact as this enables an estimate to be formed of the almost marvellous extent of human cre dulity in this enlightened ege and country.—London Times. SUPPOSED MURDER BY A BOY.—John Bates, a boy of 10 years age, was on Friday examined before the mayor of Nottingham, on suspicion of having committed a murder. It appeared that he had been absent on Wednesday night from the house of his father, a framework knitter, and had taken with him his youngest brother, a child of 14 months old. The father being alarmed at his absence, a search was sei; on foot, and on Thursday evening the prisoner was met on the Long-row, in Nottingham market-place, with out his brother. Being questioned by his father, he de clared he knew nothing of the child, nor had he taken him out. He at length admitted that his brother was dead, that a big boy had come up to him as he was sitting in the meadows, and thrown the child into the river. The child was subsequently found in the river, near Wilford-gate. The prisoner being again questioned, said the child had rolled into the river. At Winchester Assizes there was rather a remarkable trial for bigamy. Sophia Wheeler Winter, a pretty young woman, in 1837 was married to William Winter, a Port sea tradesman ; they lived happily together for some years, till her husband got an appointment abroad. During his absence she became acquainted with Alfred Dodswell, son of a Lieutenant in the navy ; Dodswell persuaded her that her first marriage was illegal, as she was a minor, and she consented to marry him in 1848. In May last Winter returned and claimed his wife; on being assured that her first marriage was valid she left Dodswell for Winter. In revenge, Dodswell instituted the present prosecution. In summing up, the judge regretted that the charge had been instituted, but told the jury that the case had been legally made out. The jury, however, found a verdict of " Not guilty," and the judge refused to allow the expenses of the prosecution. FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT.—On Monday night a most frightful accident occurred to one of the river steamers plying between the Stone Bridge and the Hot-wells, Bris tol, by which it is feared many lives will be sacrificed. The boiler belonging to the Red Rover steam-boat burst, and the consequences have been dreadful in the extreme. The steamer was taking on board her passengers for a trip to the stone bridge at Bristol, where forty or fifty persons had got on board, and others were in the act of doing so, when, without anything having previously occurred to excite the smallest apprehension, her boiler exploded with such violence as to rend the vessel into pieces, hurling the fragments and some of her passengers into the air, and casting others into the water. A scene of the most ter rible and heart-rending kind followed ; the mutilated bodies of some of the unfortunate voyagers were cast with violence to the shore ; others were seen in the act of drowning, struggling with the waters for life, while from the persons on the shore, many of whom had friends or connections on board, the most piteous cries proceeded. A number of wherries put off with all possible speed, and succeeded in rescuing many persons. Some idea of the violence of the explosion may be gathered from the fact that a large piece of the 'vessel, weighing more than a hundred weight, was thrown on the roof of a boat-shed some hundreds of feet distant from the spot where the vessel blew up, while smaller portions were scattered to much greater distances. Twelve persons were killed by the accident, and at the inquest a verdict of accidental death was returned, with an addition, that the boiler was unfit for use. EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF BIGAMY.—At the Wor cester assizes, on Monday, Richard Curtis, a man in la bourer's attire, and apparently about 40 years of age, was charged with having intermarried with Elizab eth Pacey during the life-time of Anna Maria Wilkins, whom be married in the year 1835, at the parish church of Stren sham, in that county. The prisoner, in the year 1835, married his first wife, with whom he lived till 1840, when they separated, the prisoner having learnt by experience that Auna Maria could wear the breeches; and so it turned out, for very shortly after the separation she doffed the petticoat, and donned the above-named unfeminine garment. In fact, she dressed herself in male attire and betook herself into Staffordshire, where she worked as a day labourer. She soon obtained a situation as a servant of a gentleman in the neighbourhood. Here she formed an intimacy with the housemaid, and they lived together as man and wife fora time; but the housemaid deserted her and married another man. Sometime thereafter the prisoner, having become tired of his solitary state, re solved once more upon committing matrimony. So he fixed upon Elizabeth Pacey, asked her to wed, and was accepted. He then, by way of doing all things in order, waited upon the clerk of the parish of Strensham, to have the bell tolled for his first wife, which was refused by the incumbent, Dr. Grove, who also refused to marry the prisoner to his new love; so he started off to Worcester, and there was married. The intelligen2e of the second marriage no sooner reached-the ears of Anna Maria, than her male attire was abandoned, and she made her ap pearance in the flesh at Strensham ; and the prisoner was soon made to show cause before his betters. The prisoner was found guilty, and sentenced to three months' im prisonment. MR. Mscisi's FARM.—It will interest some of our agricultural readers to see a little of what is done at Tip tree ; and the narrative is given in a lively manner by the Times :—" On Tuesday several hundred gentlemen as sembled at Tiptree Hall Farm to pay Mr. Mechi a visit of inspection. They came from every part of the country, and were in all respects fit people for such an occasion. There were large farmers, intelligent land-agents, and enterprising liberal proprietors. The church was worthily represented by the presence of half-a-dozen clergymen, and Messrs. Ransome and May, of Ipswich, and Mr. Croskill, of Beverley, were there to see that the farm im plements were what they should be. With a long train of curious and interested agriculturists, Mr. Mechi visited every field on his farm, sometimes skirting along the heatlands, sometimes dashing through the centre by the help of a water furrow, and still the concourse poured on their way and listened to the animated explanations which their inquiries drew forth. Often amidst the tell crops of wheat, their heads alone visible over the waving mass, were knots formed and rapid discussions carried on with reference to matters of practical detail. At one moment the virtues of box manure were discussed ; then the expediency of growing wheat oftener than by the present systems of cropping ; then the merits of thin sowing • then the efficacy of thorough draining on stiff clay ; then the proper method of securing deep disinte gretion and a fine tilth. On all these topics the changes of conversation rung ; and, amidst them all ran an under ' current of commentary and calculation on the amount of produce which each field would yield. It was confessed on all hands that the wheat crops were splendid ones. For the last six years Mr. Mechi has grown wheat alter nately with green crops every second year, and he expects as the result of the present harvest, a return of five quarters to the acre. His show of beans, potatoes, clover, wurzel, and turnips was also very creditable to him. On the second mentioned crop he took occasion to point out its remunerative character, and the prejudices which ex isted against it, while, with reference to the last, he dilated, as the result of his experience, on the virtues of superphosphate as a manure. Mr. Mechi has a hearty contempt for the fallowing system which prevails so ex tensively in Essex, and especially in the district called the Roothings. His idea is, that the land should be deeply stirred, kept thoroughly clean, and be maintained in con stant and high cultivation. He dreams as little of a bare fallow at Tibtree Hall as in Leadenhall-s`reet. He thinks that the one may be made to produce food and the other razors and dressing-cases continuously." SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCE.—On Tuesday as Mr. Tred wen's shipwrights were engaged in opening the brig Brilliant, lying in the Bute Docks, one of them had occa sion to " take a chip off" one of her quarter timbers, when, to his astonishment, he saw a hole in it. After some further examination of the part, an immense toad was taken out ! The animal, on being placed in the sun, hopped about, apparently delighted with its liberation. The vessel is twenty-two years old ; and the toad must have been im bedded in the tree whilst growing. This piece of timber was traversed by bolts and other fastenings in almost every direction; but, strange to say, Mons. Crapaud escaped unhurt, although in such a dangerous locality, after no one knows how long or how much knocking about ashore and at sea, for more than twenty years, in various parts of the world.—Bristol Journal. NOVEL BALLOON.—A host of people were yesterday week attracted to Vauxhall Gardens to behold the ascent of Mr. Bell in a balloon constructed on a different princi ple and of a shape different from balloons hitherto known. The balloon was of an oblong shape, and placed horizon tally in the air, and contained 15,000 feet of gas—little more than a sixth part of the gas required by the Nassau balloon of Mr. Green. The car was furnished with an apparatus for working two large tans and a caudatory rud der, by means of which it was understood the machine would be under the control of the aeronaut, who would be able to sail through the air in whatever direction he thought proper. At seven o'clock Mr. Bell ascended alone, and, as the wind blew from the south-east, the balloon, in ac cordance with the precedents of seventy years, went to the north-west. The aeronaut for a short time twirled his wheels and flapped his tail, but his balloon, either wafted by the winds, or having a will of its own, proceeded most pertinaciously in its original direction, and shortly disap peared. WHOM DOES THE CAP FIT ?—The following anecdote which is current on the Banks of the Trent, in the vici nity of Burringham, Lincolnshire, is very unclerical, if true, and if not true will probably receive some contra diction. It is not always the thing to give names, but a curious rumour has recently reached our ears. A Right Reverend Free Trade Liberal Rector, who has long, in vain, been waiting for a Deanery, and even been said to aspire to a mitre, meeting a neighbour the other day, is reported to have thus addressed him, " Lamentable circumstance (said this pillar of the Established Church) Sir Robert Peel's death." To which the neighbour replied, "if he be only gone to heaven, I am glad of it." For that speech, rejoined the meek Minister of Peace with great warmth, " You will go to h-11." Surely, the Church must be in danger when a Whig government bestows its patronage on a man so ready to commit the souls of his neighbours to the darker regions of eternity, instead of guiding and encouraging them (as is his duty) to the regions of celestial light.—Doncaster Chronicle. DREADFUL EXPLOSION OF FIRE-DAMP. — On Wednes day a frightful catastrophe occurred in one of the coal-pits belonging to Mr. Sneden, situated at Commonade, in the immediate neighbourhood of the borough of Airdrie. The miners, to the number of twenty, descended to their work as usual about six o'clock, when, it is said, the foreman accompanied them, and went forward to ascertain the state of the air in the pit. All of a sudden a terrific explosion occurred, which instantly killed eighteen out of the twenty, and shattered and destroyed all the implements and ma chinery in the pit. Only one man escaped. He was standing near the bottom of the pit when he heard the explosion, and suddenly threw himself down to allow the fiery storm to pass over. On rising he found the buckets which communicated with the surface shattered ; but finding a piece of wood, be inserted it into one of the links of the chain, and giving the signal, was pulled up to the pit head. The accounts of the cause of the accident given by this man are exceedingly imperfect, and it is not likely that the actual circumstances connected with this calami tous event will ever be known. The men had not Davy lamps. CALIFORNIA GOLD SEIZED. At the last Custom house sale in Southampton, there were between forty and fifty ounces of California gold dust sold. It appears that a poor man applied to the captain of one of the West India mail packets at Chagres and offered to work his way to Southampton. The captain permitted him to do so on account of his poverty. In a few days after the vessel had left Chagres the man died, and the boxes were not touched until the vessel arrived at Southampton, when the Custom-house authorities searched them. In the boxes they found about forty ounces of gold dust, which they took possession of until a proper claim was made to it. The West India Company claimed the gold, but the Board of Customs refused to allow it. Sinaular to say, there is every reason to believe, from inquiries made and documents found, that the man in whose box the gold was discovered, was an escaped convict. It is supposed that he escaped to California from a venal set tlement, and was returning to England with the fruits of his labour in the gold diggings. The gold-dust was of a very pure quality. The Customs, we believe, have paid the West India Company the price of a passage from Chagres out of the proceeds of the sale.—Hampshire Advertiser. CONTEST WITH MONICEYS.-It would appear that Mr. M'Bride, manager of the Bridge-of-Weir Gasworks, keeps a pair of monkeys for his amusement. The animals are usually kept in a large iron cage, but in the absence of Mr. M'Bride, the other day, for a few minutes, they suc ceeded in effecting their:tiberation, and seemed to feel a pleasure at the time in working all the mischief that was possible. The desk of the office was overturned, and the papers it contained torn and scattered about. They also opened the crane of a gas-tar cistern, and flooded the floor with the nauseous contents. On the manager, on his re turn, finding matters in this plight, he unceremoniously commenced to inflict corporeal punishment on the first of the monkeys he came in sight of, when the other, which had been hiding, immediately made a rush to the assistance of his companion. The brutes cut the leg of Mr. M'Bride through his trousers, and one of them, leaping on his back, cut him pretty severely on the face also. By this time, one Stick had been broken over the back of the animal ; and Mr. M'Bride having placed his back to the wall for protection, and armed himself with another bludgeon, he ultimately recaptured his assailants, but not till the leg of one of them had been broken in the contest.—Edinburgh Post. MEMORIAL TO SIR ROBERT PEEL.—A general meeting of the inhabitants of the west end of London was held at Willis's-rooms, on Tuesday, for the purpose of promoting a subscription for an enduring monument to the memory of Sir Robert Peel. The Earl of Aberdeen occupied the chair. The Duke of Wellington and a great number of noblemen and members of the House of Commons were present. After the chairman had delivered a warm eulogy on the late baronet, the Duke of Wellington rose. He said he regretted that deafness prevented his taking the chair. He moved the first resolution, " That this meeting desires to express a deep sense of the loss which this country has sustained by the death of Sir Robert Peel, and to perpetuate, by some enduring memento, the re membrance of his eminent talents, unremitting and laborious exertions in the service of his country, and his exemplary private virtues." The noble duke concluded by declaring that he could with safety say, from the ex perience of a quarter of a century, that no statesman ever devoted his talents with greater energy, integrity, and ability, to the public service, than the late distinguished statesman. Lord Ashley seconded the resolution, and it was carried unanimously. Lord Hardinge moved, " That a committee be formed to raise subscriptions, and to con sider the best mode of carrying the foregoing resolution into effect • and that the Duke of Wellington, the Earl of Aberdeen, Lord Jersey, Mr. Goulhurn, &c., do form the committee, with power to add to their number." After the usual vote of thanks to the chairman the meeting broke up. THE FOLLIES OF BRISTOL.-A stranger arriving in this city, by way of the Avon, may cast his eyes on many evidences of the follies of present and departed citizens. Several years ago a worthy citizen of Bristol was induced, by the influence of a gipsy, to build, on the extremity of Durdham Down, a tower, which has since received the name of Cooke's Folly. Just below this, on the edge of the river, he may see a building which is not inappropri ately called the Merchant Venturers' Folly. Coming towards Bristol he may cast his eye upwards and see Brunel's Folly, alias the intended Suspension Bridge. on which so many thousands have been expended, and for which nothing else is to be seen but two immense towers and a bar of iron across the yawning abyss below. Arrived at Hotwells.road, he will see two more monu ments of skill, which we are truly sorry to class among the list of follies, namely, the splendid ship-building works at Lady Smyth's, now in course of demolition ; and the almost unrivalled works erected for the building of the Great Britain. Alas ! for Bristol artizans that it should be so. Near this he will perceive a work going on which we are happy to say is not a folly, namely, the new junction of the Hotwells-road and Limekiln-lane,—a very desirable improvement, and which has, mirabile dicta, been carried out within a few years after its pro jection. The last two follies the visitor will see are the Swing-bridge at the bottom of Clare-street, and the Stone-bridge opposite Small-street ; the former is con stantly undergoing repairs, and the latter, which it has been decided to alter, was commenced some months since, but apparently will never be finished.—Bristol Journal. 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 influences which are peculi arly prejudicial to personal comfort and attraction. The solar heat produces on the delicate skin the permanent stain of tan, the disfigurement of freckle, and not unfre quently a discoloration and swelling, which gradually assume one of the multitudinous forms of eruption. During the ride, promenade , aquati. excursion, or while otherwise exposed to the sc. ching rays of the sun, ladies will find " ROWLAND KALYDOIe a most refreshing preparation for the c...plexion, dispelling the cloud of languor and relaxatio •. allaying all heat and irri tability, aad immediately a I . rding the pleasing sensation attending restored elasti v, and healthful state of the skin. Composed essen . :Ily of choice exotics of balsamic nature, utterly free rom all mineral admixture, and pleasing and deligh lin its effects, Rowland? Kalydor tends to neutraliz: the action of the atmosphere upon the skin, and to pro . ote that healthy action of the microsco pic vessels, by • . ich its general well-being and the beauty of its appear. ace are so essentially promoted. Freckles, sunburn, t. , spots, pimples, flushes and discolourations are eradic• ed by its application, and give place to a deli cately s. , clear, and fair skin. Its purifying and refresh ing pr. .erties 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 frozen realms of the Czar. The high reputa tion it bears induces unprincipled shopkeepers to offer their spurious Kalydors for sale, containing mineral as t r i ngen ts utterly ruinous to the complexion, and by their repellant action endangering health. It is therefore im perative on purchasers to see that the words " Rowland? 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 Ss. 6d.
