M. Dupin rushed to the Château : all was agitation and alarm. But the duke bad resolved not to alter his independent and dignified attitude. He had come to the resolution to re main in France let what would occur ; and no longer to be exposed to the insults, ignominy, prosecutions, and sorrows of foreign exile. Although the Duke had been prepared for some coup dVlat, the ordinances of July greatly exceeded his worst apprehensions, and the resist ance of all ranks of the people by no means surprised him. Yet, again, to him his duty was clear. He remained at home, in the bosom of hls family, attended no meeting, gave no advice, entered into no correspondence with the revolutionary party, and so acted during Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. On Wednesday, having been apprised that an attempt would be made to arrest him, the duke con cealed himself in the house of a friend, and but a short time had elapsed after his departure, before the soldiers of the Polignac cabinet arrived, to carry that intended arrest into effect. So wholly did the Duke isolate him self from the revolution and its agents, that even when his presence was called for by the chiefs of the success ful movement, he could not be found, and his retreat was not known to his most familiar friends. At length the cry was heard, " Long live the Duke of Orleans 1" and the Scandinavian pedestrian, the Swiss professor of ma thematics, and the dollar-less wanderer in America, was proclaimed—King of the French !—Frazer's Magazine. HERESY ON THE BIBLE—TRUE RELIGION IN SAI LORS. — An esteemed correspondent thus writes :—" Du ring my passage from India to 'the Cape, in a ship called the Alexander. the following very interesting circumstance happened. A quarter-mister on leaving the helm, entered the cabin to report. The captain was not there, but a clergyman, a passenger, was at the time intently bent on perusing Henry on the Bible.' Jack, being at his back, thought it a tine chance to peep at the studies of his rever ence, but was taken aback on observing what be consid ered to be, by the clearest possible evidence (his own eyes) Heresy on the Bible.'—Jack's ' whew ! ' pretty audibly given, startled the clergyman, who turning round had to encounter such a look from the sailor as greatly discon certed him. Jack retired hastily. The next day was Sunday. The deck was rigged for church—the bell sountled—the clergyman, captain, officers, and passengers, were all ready, but none of the crew made their appear ance. The boatswain was ordered to pipe the hands to church ; he, however, respectfully intimated that he would pipe to any other order but that ; the consternation became general, when to the clergyman's surprise, Jack appeaied alone, and simply stated that the ship's company were not over particular, but they were just then debating what should be done, with the gentleman in black who was teaching them the way to ' Look at his book ! ' cried. Jack, and you will find him regularly cramming him self with Heresy on the Bible. I caught him in the fact yesterday. The mystery was soon explained to honest Jack, who jumped below and was heard shouting, Par son's not the —! Parson's not the !' He returned, followed by all his shipmates, who joined in the service, and never more devoutly."—Freemasons' Quarterly Re view for October. ELEPHANT HUNTING.—Capt. L—, now command ing at Padenny, went lately out elephant shooting, and when not more than twelve yards from a large tusked one be coolly took aim and fired at him, intending to send the ball through his head ; but, in place of doing so, he only wounded him in the neck ; which so enraged the enormous animal, that in the most furious manner possible he in stantly charged Capt. L—, who, having gone up so close, as to be almost, I may say, within the reach of his trunk, had no hope whatever at being able to escape. While the captain was in this critical situation, a Kaydyan, who had for some time kept close on his heels, threw him self between him and the elephant, pronounced rapidly, but distinctly, a few words, and stopped, the enraged animal coming on in full career; he then held forward his arms, and uttering some other words, in a very loud this month, is full of in- tone of voice, the elephant turned round a nd fle d, trump eting most harshly and frightfully, breaking a n d c r as hi ng ontinuation of Mr. Ains- trees, and everything before him ! let the reader only, Modern Chivalry,"—which hat of most of his works,imagine the few yards of ground, covered with brushwood, knowledge of the huma ri gr t p h r a o ts e e s p s ug er t a h t r e o dC h thapt.eL. from an animal, which, in his jungle, prostrates the smaller trees tales and articles which and bushes as easily as I would standing corn ; the brief Manesty, the Liverpool space of time allowed—say a couple of minutes,—and characterise as an oUt- that took place, and he must be lost in amazement ! y of the able writer Upon Capt.

The picture of the transformed Bailey, of Todgers's Commercial Boarding-house, into the rakish sporting groom of a West End exquisite, is in Mr. Dickens's best style. He is never, by the way, so happy as when depicting some of the thousands of oddities to be met with in London. A New Series of Catechisms, on the same System as Blair's. By the Rev. T. Wilson. London : Darton and Clark. We have in these excellent publications a valuable addition to our nursery literature. The first, second, and third " Catechisms of Common Things" are admirably adapted to fill the mind of an observant child with a knowledge of the origin, elements, and uses of the objects which he sees around him, the explanations and descriptions being neither too detailed nor too bare. They are, in fact, justly adapted for the juvenile com prehension. We have also a Catechism of the History of England, a first Catechism of Geography, a first Catechism of Bible History, and a first, second, and third Catechism of Natural Philosophy. When the se ries is complete, it will afford a most valuable aid to the instructors of our youth. Leisure Hours : a Series of Early Poems. By C. B. Greatrex, jun. 2nd Edit. London : Tilt and Bogue ; Liverpool : Grapel.—This small collection of oddities strung together appears actually to have reached a se_ cond edition. As we do not see the merits the public appears to appreciate by encoring the slender perform ance, we can only regret the impaired state of our visual organs. There may he beauties—we don't say there are not ; but we should like to have them pointed out. We would not withhold the meed of fair praise if we could sincerely introduce the author and the public to each other ; but really we don't see how we can. Poetry is a fickle thing. The mere gift of rhyming may be mis taken for the possession of poetical ideas ; and when au thors can persuade themselves that rhyme is poetry, they can furnish any quantity, like a tailor's suit of clothes, at a few hours' notice ; and so the frog, swollen with rhyming fecundities, seems rapidly in its own eyes to rival the giant ox in bulk—of volume at least. By the kind help of the printer, this can he done nowa days ; and the author " hugs the dtar deceit." For our own part, we think that prose is a much more re spectable department of authorship in which to make our debut, at least, on the stage of literary transcription; and if young authors would be persuaded to " think soberly, as they ought to think," reserving their green ears, which may promise well at first, until their crude juices shall have been matured into the full fruitage of golden grains, ripened by the genial noon of reflection, and frosted even for a few nights by the nipping process of self-criticism, —then would their labour stand better in the shock of public review, and might be garnered into the treasury of the republic of letters, without the risk of moulding from greenness or dry-rotting. SELECTIONS. INSCRIPTION FOR THE STATUE TO O'CONNELL.— To one whose virtues cannot be told ; who has had a hand for all that ever came to it, and a pocket always open at the call of his friends; who has sympathised with the beggar; who was never known on any one occasion to forget himself; who has, in the heat of passion, abused men of all parties. but, on calmer reflection, made the amende honorable, by repudiating all ; who has shown his love and regard for the English monarchy by trying to relieve it of part of its work ; who has declared his at tachment to the Throne, and proved it, by his endeavours to erect a throne for himself; who lives in the heart, of the Irish people, and out of their pockets; to him who is indeed an emancipator and liberator, making at all times uncommonly free; in a word, to DANIEL O'CONNELL, who has identified the interests of his countrymen with his own, by endeavouring to make his own whatever be longs to them ; having lived by the contributions of others, he generously contributed the brass of which this statue is constructed.—Punch. WANT OF FAITH.—The defect of our times is a want of faith. We live in an age of reality. Every thing is to be paid for upon demand, every thing is to be accounted for and answered by return of post. The golden cur rency of enthusiasm has been called in. There is no reverence for any features of truth behind the veil. Our temper resembles that of the Pundit who inquired of Henry Martyn whether by embracing the Christian reli gion he should behold the Deity in a visible shape. This eagerness to perceive every object without delay and im pediment is a characteristic of minds which have not been acustomed to gaze at the luminary of truth, and might be rebuked by a Hebrew legend which we have read. "You teach," said the Emperor Trajan to a famous Rab bi, " that your God is every where, and boast that He resides among your nation. I should like to see him." " God's presence is, indeed, every where," the Rabbi re plied ; " but he cannot be seen, for no mortal eye can look upon His splendour." The Emperor had the obstinacy of power, and persisted in his demand. " Well," an swered the Rabbi, " suppose that we begin by endeavour ing to gaze at one of his Ambassadors." Trajan assented and the Rabbi leading him in the open air, for it was the noon of the day, bade him raise his eyes to the sun then shining down upon the world in its meridian glory. The emperor made the attempt, but relinquished it. " 1 can not," he said, " the light dazzles me." " If, then," re joined the triumphing Rabbi, " thou art unable to endure the light of one of his creatures, hsw canst thou expect to behold the unclouded glory of the Creator ?" It is a beautiful and touching parable, and teaching humility not only in religion, but in literature and in life.—Fraser's Magazine. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD GENERAL MISCELLANY The conservatives have a clear ,vtin of eleven on the re gistration for the West Riding of Yorkshire, The Queen held a Privy Council at Windsor Castle on Monday week, when parliament was ordered to be pro rogued from the 19th instant until November. The lawyers of Stockton, one and all, without exception, have agreed to close their respective offices at six o'clock, both winter and summer, for the benefit of their clerks. A NUNNERY IN SUNDERLAND. — The whole of the ar rangements are now completed by the Rev. P. Kearney, for commencing this establishment. In Birmingham £30,000 is said to be saved to the in habitants by having the gas lighting of the town in the hands of the Corporation. The committee of the London Wood Paving Associa tion has offered a gold medal, with thirty guineas, for the best machine for cleaning the streets.—Artizan. The revision for North Cheshire has terminated. The conservatives succeeded in sustaining sixty-eight objec tions, and the radicals only eight. Mrs. Wood (ci-divant Miss Paton) with her husband, attend Chapelthorpe, near Leeds, every Sunday, and render the choir the most efficient of any in the district. COTTAGE ROBBERY.—On Sunday, the 24th ult., the cottage of a labourer named Cudmore, at East Donyland. was broken into, and a, the hard-earned savings of in dustry, stolen therefrom. Two men are in custody. CUSTOM-HOUSE FRAUDS.—Several new discoveries of frauds were made at the Custom-house in the course of the last week, and parties before unsuspected are, we hear, implicated in them. - - - A circular has been sent to the creditors of Messrs. Dixon and Dalton, of the Dudley Bank, informing them that a dividend of 6s. Bd. in the pound will shortly be paid. The Great Yorkshire Stakes, to be run for at York Angust meeting, 1846, has closed with 117 subscribers ; and the Competition produce, for the same year, with 27 subscribers. Mr. .1. B. Smith, a leading member of the Council of the Anti-corn-la .v league, offers himself a candidate for the borough of Kendal, vacant by the sudden death of Mr. Geo. Wm. Wood, M.P. Mr. Slott, of the Edinburgh Town-council, has given notice of a motion "to petition parliament to remove from the land the established church, and apply its re venue to a useful purpose," MANCHESTER ATHENAIIIII.—The bazaar for the pur pose of paying the debt on this institution, was held last week. Up to Friday night the sum paid into the bank on account of the bazaar, was £1,600, but the debt amounts to £3,000. REPRESENTATION OF THE CITY OF LONDON. — Mr. Thomas Baring (conservative) has acceded to the invita tion of a numerously-signed requisition, and offered him self as a candidate for the vacant seat. Mr. Pattison (radical) is the opposing candidate. ATTEMPTED MURDER.—On Friday, Mr. Waller, a merchant, at St. Mary-at-Hill, London, was in his count. ing-house, when his clerk, Thos. Rowe, about 75 years of age, drew a pistol from his pocket and shot him in the left side. The effect of the wound is at present uncertain. The vicar of Ware, which parish has been so much dis turbed by contentions respecting Church matters, has advertised for a curate on account of his health. The curate is required to be " in full orders, of sound church principles, good judgment, and calm temper." The Chartist Convention, lately held in this town, have started the notable project of raising a fund of £lOO,OOO ! They say the money is to be appropriated in the purchase of 1,000 acres of land to be divided into small allotments. —Birmingham Advertiser. On the fells between Kendall and Shap, Westmoreland, on Friday night week, the mist was so dense, that the drivers and guards of the mail and other coaches say, they never encountered such great difficulty and danger in getting along that terrible road. A VERY IMPUDENT THIEF.—Last Monday evening, some persons obtained access to the bench-room at the Town Hall, Brighton ; and, whilst the officers and the police were about the hall, they broke opru the poor-box, and carried off its contents, amounting, it is supposed, to about £3.—London Paper. YORKSHIRE CHESS ASSOCIATION.—The Earl of Mex borough has consented to take the chair at the great meet ing of chess-players to he held in Huddersfield on the Bth of November next. This has given great satisfaction to all the members of the association, and a large muster is expected. THE WIFE OE THREE SUICIDES.—On Monday an inquest was held on the body of David Mason, aged 48, a coal-weigher, of 23, Lower Shadwell , who had destroyed himself, leaving his family in great distress. His wife, who was examined on the inquest, stated that this was her third husband, all of whom had committed suicide! FALL OF A HOUSE.—Two PERSONS KILLED.—On Tuesday afternoon a house fell in the village of Westfield, near North Weildham. There were seven persons in the house at the time. Two of them, a bedridden old man named Prosser, and a poor woman named Wilkes, were buried in the ruins, and when their bodies were dug out life was extinct.—London paper. - - • • An invention has recently been made for showing in the night time the position of a ship in danger, and thus directing the movements of persons attempting to give assistance from the shore. It consists of a composition, which when ignited gives a very distinct and brilliant light, and has been tried it is said, with success at the Goldstone, where the Pegasus was wrecked. BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, OCT 6.—We have had an animated and general demand for raw sugars this week, and about 900 casks West India have been disposed of at fully is. per cwt. above the previous rates •, low soft brown to fine bright grocery selling from 565. to 675. • 1000 bags of Bengals have also been disposed of at from 595. to 645., which are full prices. Rum is still very dull of sale. The Southampton papers give glowing accounts of the first despatch of the mail from that port. It consisted of 51 bags, weighing upwards of two tons, for various islands in the West Indies. Immediately upon the arrival of the train, the bags were shipped on board the Teviot. A large assemblage of persons was on the pier to witness the first embarkation from Southampton. MORTALITY AMONGST LAMBS.—At present there is a very great mortality amongst lambs on the Yorkshire wolds. Some attribute it to the dryness of the searon. The disease is diarrhoea. One farmer, out of 100 lambs, has had the misfortune within a very short time to lose 52.—Linseed cake is said to be a preventative of the di sease.—Doncaster Chronicle. FATAL FIGHT.—On the night of Wednesday, the 27th ult., a fight took place in a beer-house, in Common Lane, Sandbach, kept by John Venables, between two of his sons, William and John, (respecting some money owing by one brother to the other,) the father interfered to pre vent it, when he was brutally kicked, and received other injuries from William, which caused his death on Thursday morning. COLONEL STODDART AND CAPTAIN CONOLLY.—A public meeting will be held to-morrow, (Wednesday,) at the Hanover-square Rooms, London, at which the Rev. Dr. Wolff will be present to take leave on setting out on his expedition to Bokhara, to ascertain the fate, or obtain the release of these unfortunate officers, when the Rev. Doctor will give an account of his journey to and resi dence in that country in the years 1830-4. THE TEA TRADE, Oct. 2.—The deliveries of tea last week were 441,8141 b. The trade has been very quiet owing to the absence of public sales, if we except a small one last week, at which there was scarcely any congou offered. Prices in general are steady. Probably the mar ket may become more animated after the arrival of the overland mail, but if this takes place on the same day as in this month last year, it will not be before the Sth inst. THE WIDOW OF SIR C. BELL.—Her Majesty, at the suggestion of Sir Robert Peel, has considerately be stowed a pension of £lOO a year on Lady Bell, the widow of Sir Charles Bell, who, we regret to hear, died in cir cumstances very different from what his position, as an eminent lecturer and professor, and as the author of more than one successful work, would have led us to suspect. —Sunday paper. IHE CHARTISTS. - Mr. Tidd Pratt, the certifying barrister, has refused to enrol the rules of the Chartists, passed at the late Birmingham Conference. In conse quence of this refusal, the president, treasurer, and secre. tary have given notice that they will go on with their system of organization, for the present, without the cer tification of the rules • and it is added that they will hereafter compel Mr. iratt to certify.—Observer. EX'T'ENSIVE FAILURE IN GLASGOW.—An extensive failure in the wholesale grocery trade took place here this week. The debts, which, we understand, are between £60,000 and £BO,OOO, are principally due to parties in town. One firm, it is said, suffers to the extent of £lO,OOO, another to £6,000, and various others to £2,000 and £l,OOO. Up to the time of the failure, the credit of the firm, which was considered wealthy, was never doubted. Losses in the Irish trade are said to have caused the bank ruptcy. We have not beard the amount of the assets, but we believe them to be considerable. —Glasgow Citizen. MILITARY PUNISHMENT.—A private of the Scots Grays underwent the terrible and disgraceful punishment of being flogged at the Barrack Riding School a few days since. It appears the offence of the unfortunate man, who is an Irishman of the name of Dogherty, was threat ening to shoot his corporal; this being the second time of his uttering the threat. The fortitude with which he received his dreadful punishment was astonishing—havin g received 140 lashes without a groan or a cry of agony e s _ caping his lips. He was afterwards conveyed to the hos pital, where he is in a fair way of speedily recovering.— Ipswich Express. FEAST OF TABERNACLES. —Sunday being the 15th of the 7th month (Tisri), the tabernacle feast commenced, and is the third annual festival which requires the pre sence of the Jews at the place of the sanctuary, and is kept as a memorial of th e dwellin g of the Israelites in tents and huts, while they wandered in the wilderness. During this feast, temporary buildings are erected in the open air, the roof being penetrable to the weather, and decorated with fruits, flowers, and evergreens, in which the family reside during the feast (seven days), the first and last days only being holydays. Strips of palm, deco. rated with willow and a citron, are taken from house to house for the use of the family, who read prayers with the branches in their hands. In the synagogues, processions are formed of the rabbins and wardens, bearing the citron and branches, and walk round the reading-desk several times, the readers repeating prayers at intervals. This feast is followed immediately by the Feast of Ingathering, the concluding harvest festival, in acknowledgment of the harvest and gatherings of the past season, the celebration cf which is limited to OPC day. RURAL POLICE.—So desirous are the bench of magis trates in Nottingham of being freed from the rural police, that, in the event of its not being determined at the ad- journ ed quarter sessions at Soutbwell, on the 26th inst., to discontinue them, five of those magistrates (the number required by act of Parliament) have given another notice to the Home Secretary of State for re-agitating the ques tion at the Nottinghamshire sessions in April next. EARL GREY.—The health of Earl Grey during the last few days has rallied, and somewhat relieved the anxiety of his lordship's family and numerous friends. Sir Stephen Hammick, Lord Grey's physician, bas been enabled in consequence to return to London from Howick Hall. We have sincere pleasure in stating, that on the whole, the health of the venerable nobleman has assumed a much more general favourable appearance, and it is to be hoped his life may for some time be spared to his family. The trust estates in the City of London, bequeathed for public and charitable objects, produce an annual sum of £364,096 lls. 9kd. Notwithstanding these princely en dowments, the local rates for the poor, paving, lighting, watching, &c., form a heavier burden upon the in habitants than exists in any other part of the kingdom, amounting, for the year 1841, to £272.788 4s. 5d., besides duties levied by the corporation on coals, provisions, &c., paid by the public at large, to the amount of £202,549 12s. 7d. THE ALLEGED SLAVE-TRADING CASE.—At the Cried- nal Court, on Thursday, Mr. Clarkson made an applica tion for the postponement of the trial of Mr. Zulueta and two others, on a charge of having fitted out a vessel for slave trading on the coast of Africa. The ground upon which he founded the application was the absence of ma terial witnesses for the defence, the principal of whom was Mr. Joseph Toplis, who had been Mr. Zulueta's chief clerk at the period of the alleged offence, and who, when the affidavits were first prepared, was abroad at Gibraltar, and had only arrived in this country on Satur day evening. After considerable opposition on the part of the prosecution, the Court acceded to the application, and the matter stands over untill next session. BANK ROBBER CAUGHT.—We understand from Capt. _........ ... __ - Miller, that while on an accidental visit to Innerkip on Tuesday, he discovered and apprehended a Creole named Waddell, a notice concerning whose robbery and flight with about 17,000 dollars from the British Guiana Bank appeared in the Royal Gazette and in the Glasgow papers a short time ago. The prisoner, it seems, was very civil with the captain, gave up the keys of the tin cases, the seizure of which was effected in a temperance hotel in this city, and reminded his captor that he had no authority to detain biro. Under these circumstances, and more espe: cially as the tin cases on being opened were found, instead of the missing dollars, to contain nothing but the body clothes of Waddell, who does not appear to be in the best circumstances. Captain Miller allowed him to go.—Glas gow Guardian. GRAND RUNNING MATCH BETWEEN THE FOUR CHAMPIONS OF ENGLAND.-ThiS match, which has ex- • cited so much interest in the sporting world, came off at Reading, on Monday last. in Sampson's cricket-ground. The champions were—Wild and Byrom, from Lanca shire ; Maxwell, from Sheffield ; and Sheppard, from Birmingham. The distance was one mile (three times round the ground, and 19 yards added). Precisely at 3 o'clock the start for the first heat took place, which was accomplished in 4 minutes and 50 seconds—Sheppard winning by 8 yards; Byrom, 2; Maxwell, 3; Wild, 4. The men having rested about three-quarters of an hour, the second heat took place. Byrom took the lead once round, when he was passed by Sheppard, who kept ahead throughout, winning by about 7 yards ; Byrom, 2 ; Wild, 3 ; Maxwell, 4. This heat was accomplished in 4 minutes and 53 seconds. EXECUTION AT STIRLING.—On Wednesday morning, Allan Mair, who was convicted at last Circuit Court at Stirling, of murdering an old woman eighty-five years of age, his reputed wife, underwent the extreme penalty of the law. The unfortunate man, who slept but little on Tuesday night, was visited early on the following morn ing by the chaplain of the prison, and another clergyman, with whom he spent a considerable time in devotional exercises. Shortly before eight o'clock the magistrates arrived in the hall of the prison, to which the prisoner was brought, and where he engaged for some time in prayer. His arms having been pinioned, the procession moved slowly along to the scaffold, where part of a psalm was sung and a prayer made on his behalf. He then shook hands with those around him, and after remaining for a few minutes in prayer on the fatal drop, he gave the signal, and was immediately launched into eternity. .., M airwas about 84 years of age. EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCE.—The brig Lord Byron, of Limekilns, when on her voyage in the end of last month from the West Indies to Liverpool, suddenly sprung a leak without any apparent cause. It was consi dered advisable to return to Jamaica, and, on the cargo being taken out and the vessel examined, it was found that the damage was occasioned by a sword-fish. The sword or bill of the fish had pissed through the copper sheathing, then through the plank in a slanting direction to the extent of five inches, and also about eight or ten inches into the dead wood of the keel, leaving an opening in the planking in each side sufficient to admit the hand of a boy. A piece of the sword retained by the captain is six inches long and one and a half inch thick, of solid bone ; but a longer piece remains in the keel. The strength of the sword fish must be very great, and it may have been the cause of the loss of several vessels. The vessel referred to was carried into port with very great difficnity.—Edinburgh Mercury. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—On the evening of the 21st instant a small boat, in which were John Sutherland, Samuel Willison, his son-in-law, Ann Young, and Hugh Knarston, a harvest man, left this harbour, and had pro ceeded round the east end of Grxmsay, when, finding the wind to be squally and the night dark, the boat was at tempted to be put round, in order to land at Grxmsay for the night, but, from a sudden squall striking her, she went down stern foremost. The crew got on her bottom, and were again washed off. The girl first sank, and then old John Sutherland (a native of Caithnessshire). Knarston clung to the boat, and the wind and tide drove him across Hoy Sound, within a short distance of the anchorage of Cairston Roads. His cries were heard by the people on board of the vessels lying in the roads, but from the darkness it could not be discovered that an acci dent had happened. The boat was driven out of Hoy Sound again, and at last came ashore at the churchyard. The poor fellow had still been able to stick to the boat, and was strong enough to get on shore and reach Strom ness about daylight next morning. None of the bodies of the other three have been found.— Wick Journal. EXPLOSION AT THE GLOBE WORKS, SHEFFIELD. — Another infernal machine has this week been manufac tured for the diabolical purpose of blowing up the Globe works with gunpowder. These works are occupied by Mr. William Ibbotson, file-manufacturer, who employs a great number of hands ; one or more of whom is sup posed to have fancied themselves aggrieved, and to have adopted the above destructive mode of showing their re venge. About half-past twelve on Saturday night, the inmates of the dwelling-house, which is underneath the same roof with the works, were aroused from their slum bers by a most terrific explosion. Mr. Ibbotson, jun. imtnediateiy got up, and found in the cellar the fragments of an exploded iron tube, of about four-inch bore, the length of which could not be ascertained. The ends had been securely stopped up with wood, and lead run in also ; and, to make the explosion more effective, the wretches had drilled holes through the tube, and run iron pins, of about four inches in length, into the lead, to prevent it from being blown out again by the force of the powder. The effects of the explosion were to blow the roof and flooring above the cellar, not only completely up, but partly into the ceiling of the first floor, which was also quite loosened. About a dozen were blown completely out, and as many more shattered to atoms. Part of a brick wall which pro jected from the north side of the cellar was forced from the upright, but had not fallen. The two windows on the ground floor, which had no shutters, were quite blown out. The noise was heard for many miles round.— Buxton Herald, Oct. 6. HORRIBLE OUTRAGE.—One of the most barbarous outrages has lately occurred in the neighbourhood of Slaidburn which the history of crime can record. Two persons, named Matthew Dilworth and George Smith, who, there is too much reason to believe, were the per petrators of the brutal act, have been arrested, and com mitted to take their trial at the next York assizes. The victim is a young girl named Hannah Hargreaves, of Dunsop, near Slaidburn. She deposed as follows :—I live servant with Wm. Crumbleholme. of Dunsop, yeo man. I heard a whistle on Monday night. I was in the house alone ; the door was locked, and the children were in bed asleep. On hearing the whistle I went up stairs and looked through the window, but could not see any thing; it was dark and not moonlight. The whistle did not alarm me; I thought some one was whistling of a dog. I came down stairs and found it was half-past nine. Ex pecting my master and mistress, I went out to listen if they were coming home. When I got to the door, the prisoner Dilworth was standing on the right side. I saw another person, whom I did not know, standing at the gate four or five yards distant from the door. Dilworth immediately seized me as I stood on the flag by the shoul ders, threw me down on my back, and put his finger on my throat. I said, " Oh, dear ! what art thou going to do ?" He said, "I am boun to kill thee if thou dosn't sup this stuff." He had a bottle in his hand, a darkish coloured one, and not a big one. I thought there was about half a teacupful, and was so frightened that I drank part of what was in it. The other person, whom I saw standing at the gate, came up to us, and they both got hold of my apron, pulled it over my face, and tied it round my mouth and under my chin behind my head. After that I heard one or both go into the house.—Mr. Jack son, surgeon, deposed to having been called in to see the girl, and described her as then suffering under the effects of some narcotic poison. He immediately administered a powerful emetic, which was repeated until the stomach was completely exhausted. He thought the narcotic to be opium.—lt was deposed by two witnesses, that Dil worth and Smith were seen together on the evening on which the offence was committed ; and it was sworn by one of them that he saw the prisoners proceeding home ward together, as if from Dunsop, shortly after the hour mentioned by the prosecutrix as the time when the offence was committed.—W. Crumbleholme deposed that he and his wife were from home on the night in question. They returned home about ten minutes to eleven o'clock. They found the house door open, and the servant girl, Hannah Hargreaves, absent. There was no one in the house except the children, who were in bed., l Shortly after, William Haythornthwaite, the girl's uncle, came in and told him what had happened. He then searched the drawers up stairs, and found that his watch, for which he had paid five guineas, had been taken away, together with a chain and seals.—Mary Crumbleholme, wife to the last witness, gave similar testimony.—The prisoners, on being asked what they had to say for themselves, replied that they were innocent, and called two witnesses, who gave unsatisfactory statements of having seen both the pri soners at Crawshawr, about the time mentioned by the prosecutrix, RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY EXTENSION—AOOther meeting is convened on the subject of the proposed ex tension of the Eastern Counties Hallway through this town ; and as we hear that the report of that eminent en gineer, Mr. Locke, fully confirms the estimates and views of Mr. Clarke and Mr. Bruff, which have already been before the public, as to the main line to Norwich and the branch to Bury, we have every reason to hope the project may be carried out. We understand also, that as a direct line to Barwick is contemplated, the proposed branch to Shotley will not be proceeded with.—lpswich Express. DURHAM AND SUNDERLAND RAILWAY.--A meeting of this company was held on Friday week. From the fi nancial statement circulated amongst the shareholders, it appears that the revenue, from all sources, during the past year, has been £36,199 9s. 6d., and the expenditure £30,260 Bs. 7d., leaving a balance of .£5,939 Os. 11d., of which £3,283 has been already paid in two dividends, in December, 1842, and June, 1843, and £653 9s. 11d. ex pended in relaying a portion of the line, and other im provements, leaving £2,002 lls. of profit undivided. The receipts for coals during the year have been £24,252 16s. Bd., from passengers and parcels £5,708, and from gene ral merchandise £1,006 13s. 9d. A dividend of £lO was declared. SHEFFIELD AND MANCHESTER RAILWAY.—The half yearly general meeting of this company was held at Shef field on Wednesday week. With respect to the creation of the new stock required by the company, the chairman proceeded to inform the meeting that by their new act they were invested with power to issue new shares to the amount of £450,000, and when a sufficient amount had been paid up, to borrow a further sum, to the amount of £150,000. It was therefore proposed by the directors, that 18,000 quarter shares, of £25 each, and should be issued at par, with a guarantee of 73 per cent. per annum on the amount to be called up, for a period of ten years ; that £2 per share should be paid on the Ist of November, 1843; £2 on the Ist of February, 1844 ; £2 on the Ist of May, 1844 and a further £2 (making £8 in all) on the Ist of August, 1844: the remainder was to be called in as the directors should appoint ; that the shares should be offered pro rata to those original shareholders who have paid up their old shares to the amount of £B2 10s. per share ; and that the directors should be empowered to dispose of such as were not taken up, to the public. The report stated that the works upon the whole line, with the exception of about 650 yards forming the Shef field terminus, were now in active operation, having bee❑ contracted for at prices considerably below the estimates of Mr. Locke. and in consequence of the late depression in the iron trade, and the consequent low price of rails chairs, the company had been enabled to effect a saving upon the parliamentary estimate of £50,000. The traffic receipts from the Ist of January to the 30th of June, amounted to £2,391 16s 4d., the expenses (including maintenance of way) to £6,459 5s 7d., leaving a balance in favor of the company of £2,932 10s. 9d.. The pas senger traffic, from the 31st of December, 1842, to the Nth of June, 1843, was £8,530 lls 7d. and the total amount received from all kinds of traffic between: the same two periods was £8,391, 16s. 4d., leaving a balance in the banker's hands of £21,632 4s SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. LATEST BETTING AT MANCHESTER Friday Evening Several fluctuations have transpired upon the important handicap race of Tuesday next. Since our quotations on Friday last, Whistle Binkie, Lady Sale, and Alice Haw thorn, may all be classed as hors de combat; Trueboy and Artnytage's friends have both stuck firm. On Mon day Shocking Mamma and Blackdrop were each in great force ; yesterday we noticed the last named backed at 10 and 12 to 1 ; Mr. Heseltine's lot, in ponies, at 6 to 1, and a little money put on Trueboy at 6to 1. As we are so close upon the day of the race, we imagine the latest figures and offers will be more acceptable to our sporting friends, than occupying their time with a ramble over all the shuttlecock work that may have crossed our path dur ing the week, we therefore sans ceremonie dash on to the DOINGS TO-DAY. The room was strongly supported. An influential ar rival or two from Liverpool, soon after one o'clock, caused some alterations. Closing prices:— CLEARWELL STAKES Even betting on Voltri, then 6 to 4 on him against Wadastra ; then 25 to 20, 20 16, &c. &c., against Voltri, closed with 11 to 10 against him, and 6 to 4 against Wadastra. Voltri was backed freely at sto 4, 120 to 80 wanted as the circle broke up. THE CAMBRIDGESHIRE STAKES 25 to 1 wanted on Collina. THE CESAREWITCH The field against four; 7 to 1 against Lady Sale.

CALLING IN THE DEFICIENT GOLD COIN. The following proclamation appeared in the Gazette of Tuesday : BY THE QUEEN.-A PROCLAMATION. " VICTORIA R " Whereas it has been represented unto us that, al though under our proclamation of the 3d day of June, 1842, a large amount of the gold coin of this realm de ficient in weight has been withdrawn from circulation, yet there is much of the gold coin of this realm deficient in weight still in circulation, contrary to the tenor of our proclamation aforesaid, and of two proclamations issued, one by his late Royal Highness George Prince Regent, in the name and on behalf of his late Majesty King George the Third, bearing date the Ist of July, 1817, and the other issued by his late Majesty King George the Fourth, bearing date the 6th of February, 1821 ; and there being reason to believe that sufficient attention is not paid to the weighing of the said gold coin, i and the directions given in the Acts of Parliament now in force with respect to the cutting, breaking or defacing such pieces thereof as are found to be of less weight than those declared by the last of the aforesaid proclamations to be current, and to pass and be received in payment; we do by this our Royal proclamation declare and com mand, that from and after the date hereof every gold so vereign, of less weight than five pennyweights two grains and a half, and every gold half-sovereign of less weight than two pennyweights thirteen grains and one-eighth, be not allowed to be current or pass in any payment what soever. And we do hereby strictly require and command all our loving subjects, and particularly all the officers, collectors, and receivers of our revenue, strictly to con form to the orders hereby given, and to the directions and regulations enacted and established in the several Acts of Parliament now in force, and from and after the Ist day of January next to cut, break, and deface such pieces of the said gold coin as shall be found deficient in weight. And we do hereby further ordain, declare, "Mfd com mand, that the said gold sovereigns and half-sovereigns of the weights last above described shall pass and be re ceived as current and lawful money of the United King dom of Great Britain and Ireland, every such sovereign as of the value of twenty shillings' and every such half sovereign as of the value of ten shillings, in all payments whatsoever. " Given at our Court at Windsor, this second day of October, in the year of our Lord 1843, and in the seventh year of our reign. " GOD SAVE THE QUEEN." DISASTROUS SHIPWRECKS AND Loss OF LlFE.—ln formation was received at Lloyd's Coffee-house on Mon day of the loss of the undermentioned vessels at sea : The schooner Princess Augusta of Lunenburg, during very rough weather, capsized, at about fifty miles west of Cape Sable. The crew, consisting of five persons, being excellent swimmers, succeeded in regaining the wreck, but, owing to the increasing fury of the waves, they were again washed overboard. One of the crew, a young man named James Sponagle, was the only person who was saved, and he succeeded in lashing himself to the wreck with a rope, and thus saved his life. Among the persons who perished was Sponagle's father. The schooner Mar garet, of Glocester, fortunately passed the wreck in time to save the young man, for he was picked up by the cap tain of that vessel in a very exhausted state, having been on the wreck five days without any sustenance. The Ca ledonian, (an American ship,) during a dreadful storm on the 18th ult., at eight o'clock in the evening, whilst on her voyage from New York for Cette, endeavoured to escape the fury of the storm by taking shelter in that port, but owing to the violence of the storm was obliged to enter by another way, namely, the small passage, where she struck and lost her rudder, by which she became un manageable, and after having drifted about for some time, at length struck on the rocks and went to pieces. For tunately the whole of the crew were saved. The Aire, of North Shields, struck on a rock near Bridsand, coast of Norway, whilst on her passage from Archangel to Lon don, on the 7th of last month. It appears that the master and crew remained with the vessel two days and two nights, when she was got off the rock with three feet of water in her hold and in a rapidly sinking state, when the Hannah More, Captain Blockbarn, from Onega to Lon don , happened to be passing, and took the crew and master on board. It is reported that the master of the Aire (Mr. Kennedy) had the vessel set on fire previous to leaving, in order to remove so dangerous an impediment as she would be if left in the place she was in, it being a fi e quented road for vessels. The British schooner Rebecca, Captain Sawyer, whilst on her voyage from Honduras for New Orleans, was wrecked on Tortugas. The vessel was entirely lost, the crew and cargo were taken to Key West.
