Purcell, P.P. of Drumcoolagh. The writer is supposed to have been sent for to administer the last rites of the Roman Catholic Church to Pat. Connell, a drunken carpenter, who was sup posed to have been dying, if not actually dead, in a fit of intoxication. The appearance of the corpse is represented as having been almost supernaturally horrible, when it suddenly began to move, and, to the astonishment of the spectators, it was found that a lancet wound in the arm had unexpectedly yielded a copious flow of blood, and had thus restored the patient to animation. The writer proceeds with his narra tive in the following terms:— " I left the patient with leeches upon his temples, and bleeding freely—apparently with little of the drowsiness which accompanies apoplexy; indeed, Doctor D— told me that he had never before witnessed a seizure which seemed to combine the symptoms of so many kinds, and which yet belonged to none of the recognised classes; it certainly was not apoplexy, catalepsy, nor delirium tremens, and yet it seemed to partake of the properties of all—it was strange, but stranger things are coming. During two or three days Dr. D— would not allow his patient to converse in a manner which could excite or exhaust him, with any one; he suffered him merely, as briefly as possible, to express his immediate wants, and it was not until the fourth day after my early visit, the particulars of which I have just de tailed, that it was thought expedient that I should see him, and then only because it appeared that his extreme importu nity and impatience were likely to retard his recovery more than the mere exhaustion attendant upon a short conversa tion could possibly do; perhaps, too, my friend entertained some hope that if by holy confession his patient's bosom were eased of the perilous stuff, which no doubt oppressed it, his recovery would be more assured and rapid. It was, then, as I have said, upon the fourth day after my first professional call, that I found myself once more in the dreary chamber of want and sickness. The man was in bed, and appeared low and restless. On my entering the room he raised himself in the bed, and muttered twice or thrice—"lhank God ! thank God.' I signed to those of his family who stood by to leave the room, and took a chair beside the bed. So soon as we were alone, he said, rather doggedly—' There 's no use now in telling me of the sinfulness of bad ways—l know it all—l know where they lead to—l see every thing about it with my own eye sight, as plain as I see you.' He rolled himself in the bed, as if to hide his face in the clothes, and then suddenly raising himself, he exclaimed with startling vehemence—' Look, sir, there is no use in mincing the matter; I'm blasted with the fires of hell; I have been in hell; what do you think of that?—in hell—Pm lost for ever—l have not a chance—l am damned already—damned—damned—.' The end of this sentence he actually shouted; his vehemence was per fectly terrific; he threw himself back, and laughed and sobbed hysterically. I poured some water into a tea cup, and gave it to him. After he had swallowed it, I told him that if he had any ening to communicate, to do it as briefly as he could, and in a manner as little agitating to himself as possible, threatening at the same time, though I had no in tention of doing so, to leave him at once, in case he gave way to such passionate excitement. It's only foolishness,' he continued, for me to try to thank you for coming to such a villain as myself at all ; it's no use for me to wish good to you or to bless you; for such as me has no blessing to give.' I told him that 1 had but done my duty, and urged him to proceed to the matter which weighed upon his mind; he then spoke nearly as follows :—I came in drunk on Friday night last, and got to my bed here, I don't remember how; sometime in the night it seemed to me, I wakened, and feel ing uneasy in myself, I got up out of bed. I wanted the fresh air, but I would not make a noise to open the window, for fear I'd waken the crathurs. It was very dark, and trou blesome to find the door; but at last I did get it, and I groped my way out, and went down as easy as I could. I felt quite sober, and I counted the steps one after another, as I was going down, that I might not stumble at the bottom. When I came to the first landing place, God be about us always ! the floor of it sunk under me, and I went down, down, till the sense almost left me. Ido not know how long I was falling, but it seemed to me a great while. When I came rightly to myself at last, I was sitting on a great table, near the top of it; and I could not see the end of it, if it had any, it was so far off; and there was men beyond reckoning, sitting down, all along by it, at each side, as far as I could see at all. I did not know at first it was in the open air; but there was a close smothering feel in it, that was not natural, and there was a kind of light that my eyesight never saw before, red and unsteady, and I did not see for a long time where it was coming from, until I looked straight up, and then I seen that it came from great balls of blood-coloured fire, that were rolling high over head with a sort of rushing trembling sound, and I perceived that they shone on the ribs of a great roof of rock that was arched over head instead of he sky. When I seen this, scarce knowing what I did, I got up, and said, 'I have no right to be here, I must go,' and the man that was sitting at my left hand, only smiled, and said sit down again, you can never leave this place," and his voice was weaker that any child's voice I ever heard, and when he had done speaking he smiled again. Then I spoke out very loud and bold, and said—' in the name of God let me out of this bad place,' And there was a great man, that I did not see before, sitting at the end of the table that I was near, and he was taller than twelve men, and his face was very proud and terrible to look at, and he stood up, and stretched out his hand before him, and when he stood up, all that was there, both great and small, bowed down with a sigh ing sound, and a dread came on my heart, and he looked at me, and I could not speak. I felt I was his own, to do what he liked with, for I knew at once who he was, and he said, 'if you promise to return you may depart for a season;' and the voice he spoke with was terrible and mournful, and the echoes of it went rolling and swelling down the endless cave, and mixing with the trembling,of the fire overhead; so that, when he sat down, there was a sound after him, all through the place, like the roaring of a furnace, and I said, with all the strength I had, I promise to come back; in God's name let me go,' and with that I lost the sight and the hearing of all that was there, and when my senses came to me again, I was sitting in the bed, with the blood all over me, and you and the rest praying around the room." Here he paused, and wiped away the chill drops of horror which hung upon his forehead. I remained silent for some moments. The vision which he had just described struck my imagination not a little, for this was long before Vatheck and the " Hall of Ebles" had de lighted the world; and the description which he gave had, as I received it, all the attractions of novelty, beside the impres siveness which always belongs to the narration of an eye wit ness, whether in the body or in the spirit, of the scenes which he describes. There was something, too, in the stern horror with which the man related these things, and in the incon gruity of his description, with the vulgarly received notions of the great place of punishment, and of its presiding spirit, which struck my mind with awe, almost with fear. At length he said, with an expression of horrible, imploring earnestness, which I shall never forget—" Well, sir, is there any hope ; is there any chance at all ? or is my soul pledged and away for ever? is it gone out of my power? must Igo back to the place?" In answering him I had no easy task to perform; for how ever clear might be my internal conviction of the groundless ness of his fears, and however strong my scepticism respect ing the reality of what he had described, I nevertheless felt that his impression to the contrary, and his humility and terror resulting from it, might be made available as no mean engines in the work of his conversion from profligacy, and of his restoration to decent habits, and to religious feeling. I therefore told him that he was to regard his dream rather in thelight of a warning than in that of a prophecy ; that our salvation depended not upon the word or deed of a moment, but upon the habits of a life; that, in fine, if he at once dis carded his idle companions and evil habits, and firmly ad hered to a sober, industrious, and religious course of life, the powers of darkness might claim his soul in vain, for that there werehigher and firmer pledges than human tongue could utter, which promised salvation to him who should repent and lead a new life. " I left him much comforted, and with a promise to return upon the next day. I did so, and found him much more cheerful, and without any remains of the dogged sullenness which I suppose had arisen from his despair. His promises of amendment were given in that tone of deliberate ear nestess which belongs to deep and solemn determination; and it was with no small delight that I observed, after re peated visits; that his good resolutions, so far from failing, did but gather strength by time; and when I saw that man shake off the idle and debauched companions, whose society had for years formed alike his amusement and his ruin, and revive his long-discarded habits of industry and sobriety, I said within myself there is something more in all this than the operation of an idle dream. One day, some time after his restoration to health, I was surprised on ascending the stairs, for the purpose of visiting this man, to find him busily employed in nailing some planks upon the landing-place, through which, at the commencement of his mysterious vi sion, it seemed to him he had sunk. I perceived at once he was securing the floor with a view of securing himself against such a catastrophe, and could scarce forbear a smile when I bid God bless his work.' " He perceived my thoughts, I suppose, for he immediate ly said, " I can never pass over that floor without trembling. I'd leave this house if I could, but I can't find another lodging in the town so cheap, and I'll not take a better till I've paid off all my debts, please God; but I could not be easy in my mind till I made it as safe as I could. You'll hardly believe me, your honour, that while I'm working, maybe a mile away, my heart is in a flutter all the way back, with the bare thoughts of those two little steps I have to walk upon this bit of a floor. So it's no wonder, I'd thry to make it sound and firm with any idle timber I have.' " I applauded his resolution to pay off his debts, and the steadiness with which he pursued his plan of conscientious economy, and passed on. Many months elapsed, and still there appeared no altera tion in his resolutions of amendment. He was a good work man, and with his better habits he recovered his former ex tensive and profitable employment. Every thing seemed to promise comfort and respectability. I have little more to add, and that shall be told quickly. I had one evening met Pat Connell, as he returned from his work, and, as usual, after a mutual, and, on his side, respectful salutation, I spoke a few words of encouragement and approval. I left him industrious, active, healthy—when next I saw him, not three days after, be was a corpse. The circumstances which marked the event of his death were somewhat strange—l might say fearful. The unfortunate man had accidentally met with an early friend, just returned, after a long absence, and in a moment of excitement, forgetting everything in the warmth of his joy, he yielded to his urgent invitation to accompany him into a public-house, which lay close to the spot where the encounter had taken place. Connell, however, previ ously to his entering the room, had announced his determi nation to take nothing more than the strictest temperance would warrant. But oh ! who can describe the inveterate tenacity with which a drunkard's habits cling to him through life. He may repent—he may reform—he may look with actual abhorrence upon his past profligacy ; but amid all this reformation and compunction, who can tell the moment in which the base and ruinous propensity may not recur, tri umphing over resolution, remorse, shame, everything, and prostrating its victim once more in all that is destructive and revolting in that fatal vice! " The wretched man left the place in a state of utter in toxication. He was brought home nearly insensible, ant., placed in his bed, where he lay in the deep, calm lethargy of drunkenness. The younger part of the family retired to rest much after their usual hour; but the poor wife remained up sitting by the fire, too much grieved and shocked at the re currence of what she had so little expected, to settle to rest; fatigue, however, at length overcame her, and she sunk gra dually into an uneasy slumber. She could not tell how long she had remained in this state, when she awakened, and immediately on opening her eyes, she perceived by the faint red light of the mouldering turf embers, two persons, one of whom she recognized as her husband, steal noiselessly out of the room. " Pat, darling, where are you going ?' said she. There was no answer—the door closed after them ; but in a mo ment she was startled and terrified by , a heavy crash, as if MR. O'CONNELL'S FIRST APPEARANCE. " HARPS OR HEADS." THE TRIBUTE OR AGITATION. (From the Dublin Evening Mail.) The return of Mr. O'Connell to his native land is to be signalized to-day by a meeting of his constitu ents at the Corn Exchange, called by the honourable gentleman for the purpose of rendering an account of his stewardship, and organising a menacing agitation, and a new reign of terror. Were it not for the re cent demonstration at Cork, and the intelligible allu sions made by the Northern Whig,* and others of the radical press, to the late democratic proceedings at Birmingham, we should look upon this parade as a prelude to the collection of the annual tribute. In this idea, too, we should be fairly borne out by the Freeman of this morning, which, in noticing the in tended meeting, does not fail to call public attention to the merits and sacrifices of the lion of the day : " He was offered (quoth our contemporary) and [he) refused the highest judicial office to which, as a catholic, he is eligible. The Chief Baronship of the Exchequer was within his grasp. It was offered and intended as a fitting reward for a life of la borious exertion ; but he felt that his country required his services in another capacity. He believed that he could be more useful as an advocate than as a judge, and therefore it was that he sacrificed rank, and station, and emolument, with out hesitation and without regret." The meeting, however, may serve the double pur pose of recruiting the [King'st] exhausted exchequer, and exciting the Queen's subjects to revolutionary enterprises. Here is the proclamation : " TO MT CONSTITUENTS. "I respectfully solicit a meeting of my constituents at the Corn Exchange, this day, (the 15th instant) at half-after one o'clock, to receive from me a statement of the manner in which 1 have endeavoured to perform my duty to them during the closing session, and to consider of ulterior measures to pro cure from the British legislature ' full justice for Ireland,' or to provide for the contingency of a perseverance in the refusal of that legislature to right the people of Ireland. "Your faithful servant. "DANIEL O'CONNELL. "N.B.—To prevent inconvenient pressure, a charge of One Shilling each will be made at the door for admission. "" Gallery free for Ladies exclusively. "T. M. RAY." This ordinance, unlike Lord Durham's, may be le gal for what we know : it will, like the tithe gather ings, be construed so at the Castle. But the menaced provision for " contingencies" sounds in our ears very like sedition. If it involve, as we are informed it does, a resolution to be agreed upon for a preparatory Institution for Repeal of the Union, in case Justice be not done to Ireland, our hearing has not deceived ns ; and we add, that if it had not the same effect upon the tympanum of the multitude, very few would pay their shilling at the door, for listening to the mounte bank prating of his whereabout. But, appropos of the Tribute, what is this we hear about Caherciveen ? s " A vein of rich copper ore," says the Castle gazette, "h as been discovered upon the property of Mr. O'Connell, at Caherciveen." The worthy proprietor had a stock of brass before sufficient to form the capital of an assurance company. Being now so well supplied with the coppers, we cal culated he will henceforth dispense with the coppers of the poor; and that the ragged man will not be called upon for his halfpenny, and the starving man for his threehalfpence to swell the coffers of the pro prietor of the Caheyeiveen ccooce. On Saturday evening Dr. Grant delivered the fourth of his highly instructive lectures, in which he explained the struc ture of the myriapods and true insects. The diagrams were upon an extensive scale, and presented graphic views of the anatomy of the centipede, cockchafer, bee, &c. Insects form by far the largest class in the animal kingdom, above 150,000 different species being already known to na turalists, and every day the class is receiving further additions by the discoveries of naturalists in every quarter of the world. These creatures inhabit every latitude and every altitude on the face of the globe. They swarm like animalcules in the atmosphere; in fact, they may be considered the animalcules of the air, in like manner as the polygastric tribe are animal cules of the water. They swarm throughout the strata of the earth wherever it is of a loose - and porous texture, both in the perfect state and in that of larva. They swarm even in the water, and we observe them to employ their wings as well as their feet to propel them through that element. They breathe the atmospheric air by means of trachea, or air tubes, rami fying through every part of their bodies. Insects swarm so much in warm climates as often to cloud the sun. The ra vages of the locusts are two well known in the east. Even the ants are observed to advance in colonies resembling the habitations of man, and they are more to be dreaded than the lions and tigers of the forests. Insects are organized to consume all forms of organic matter—anitnal or vegetable— living or dead. They are the scavengers of our atmosphere, checking the emission of the effluvia which would otherwise arise from decayed organic substances; and thus keep the air purified for the other tribes of organic beings. As insects are destined to move through so light a fluid as atmospheric air, they require a very different formation from that of the various beings which have hitherto passed under our notice. An insect, it is true, begins its existence as a crawling ser pentine worm, and is, in fact, in its adult state, but a ser pent flying through the atmosphere. It is not sufficient, however, that wings should be attached to the side of a worm to enable it to fly through the air, every part of the structure must be contrived with a special view to the purposes of fly ing; for if we were to connect the wings and necessary mus cles to the sides of an ordinary worm and fish, the exertion requisite to enable theta to move through the air would tear their soft and slender skeletons into pieces. The study of insects, in consequence of the great extent of this class of animals, forces itself upon our attention. The ravages which they commit upon the living and dead, upon the vegetable and animal kingdom, are subjects which cannot escape our observation. Insects far exceed double the num ber of all the vertebrated tribes of animals taken collectively. They force themselves upon our attention by the pain which they create, and in this we should consider that the partial evil always tends to the general good—nature's good, of course. Insects have likewise special charms wherewith to engage our attention. We will not speak of the immense supply of wax which they alone are capable of supplying, of the mellifluous sweets with which they delight our palates, or of the valuable red dye which we obtain from the cochineal insect—our business is with their anatomy—with the means by which an allwise Providence has enabled them to obtain a daily subsistence and assimilate to their own likeness the various matters upon which they feed. The colour of insects is very beautifully adapted to the si tuations and circumstances in which they exist. Thus we at once perceive that the black is the best colour for these in sects intended to live in dark cells, and such we find to be the case. 'Who can perceive an insect in motion or at rest with out admiring the beauty of its proportions, its graceful ante nuw amid numerous eyes ! Look at the beautiful contrivances by which it is enabled to walk across a roof, or the surface of a polished mirror, without the least uncertainty, or apparent difficulty ! Let the tempest howl and the tree shake, and see how securely it grasps the bark in defiance of the utmost efforts of the storm to dislodge it ! Who can contemplate the industry and patience of the ant, and not learn habits of economy, and feel a wish to emulate its labours! Look at the political economy of the bee, and see how well worthy it is of adoption by the most civilised state ! We have now, however, as we before stated, to direct our attention to that which is not so pleasing. We have to look into the mysteries of the organization of these beautiful beings, and investigate the secret machinery by which they are enabled to exhibit all those outward physical phenomena. It will at once strike us, that as the exterior of the body of the worm is soft, it is thereby unfitted for the adaptation of powerful wings calcu lated to rend the flesh asunder by their action, without the intervention of some ossified medium fit for the action of highly energetic muscles. We find this to be the case ; the material of this ossified covering is not, however, the same as that of the muscle and lobster—carbonate of lime. That would not answer, because it is too heavy a material, and it would re quire too large a mass of it mingled with animal matter to give the required strength. Phosphate of lime, the substance of human bones, is the chosen material, and its strength and levity render it peculiarly adapted for the inhabitants of so airy a region. There is a little phosphate of lime in the corals and in the cruetacea. The appearance of this exterior skeleton is that of horn, and at one time it was taken to be of a horny nature. But if you take a hair, and place it in the flame of a lamp, it will dissolve and curl up. This is not the case with the exterior covering of the beetle, as upon ig nition it will burn with a light flame, and still preserve its shape. Whether the insect is in the state of a myriapod or true insect, or arachnids, still this consolidated material forms the exterior of the body. The body of the insect, like that of the worm, is divided into segments, but to a much less extent. The myriapods are a connecting link between the worm and true insect. The myriapods have not the same number of segments as the worm, but they are placed at equal distances. The 'change from a myriapod to an insect is still more remarkable—several seg ments unite and change in form. The anterior skeleton is changed and hardened, so as to allow of the attachment of wings, and to protect the internal organs. The myriapods have a nervous system connected with their organs of feeling and motion. Fortunately for animals there are many mo tions which go on without their cognizance. - Thus man cannot will the stoppage of the heart, of the rush of the blood, or of the peristaltic motion of their intestines... These go on undisturbed whether we are asleep or awake. ,We can please ourselves whether we stretch out our band or not. The nerves of the myriapods proceed from a great spiral ,cord- running' through the central axis. . There are thirteen segments in the body of a true inaect. The foremost contains the organs of mastication, the mandi bles, and the palpi. The latter appear to be organs of sense; but, as we have none, we cannot attempt to describe the sensations which they produce. It would-be as rational to expect that we should be able to do so, as that a blind man should describe blue or red. They have organs called amen me, apparently connected with the sense of hearing. We can distinctly prove the antennse to be the organs of hearing in the crustaceous animals, but we have not. been able to satisfy ourselves on - this point with respect to insects. The insects have compound organs of vision. There can be counted more than 20,000 fcicies in the eyes of au insect. The transparent cornea can likewise be distinguished in con nexion with a crystalline lens. The vitreous humour has only yet been fouUd in aqueous insects—it exists in the leech. The eye of the insect, however, wants the complicated appa ratus which we see in the higher classes of animals, such as the eyelids, eyelashes, &c. In place of these, the animal has an epidermic covering over its eye which is insensible. It is -important to know how an entomologist describes an insect. He considers-it as composed of three thoracic segments. The first he calls the prothuracic segment, the second the mezzo thoracic, and the third the meta. A pair of legs is attached to each of these segments. The posterior wings are attached to the meta thoracic segment. In flies, these are wanting, hence they are called depterous insects. In reality there is no such thing as one pair of wings, but the second pair is so small as almost to escape our notice. The forms of the wing vary exceedingly. They are permeated with blood vessels and air cells, the latter of which gives them their reticulated structure. To these three thoracic segments succeed the nine segments of the body, which seem very like the segments of the myriapod or worm. The last of these segments is some times wanting, and it is then metaphorised into the sting. Whilst insects are in the state of larvae they are the most voracious of animals, living seemingly but for the purpose of enjoyment and the gratification of an insatiable appetite- It strikes us as nothing remarkable that an insect should have six feet. This arrangement is, however, the most remarka able piece of organic structure in the animal creation. That 150,000 beings, whether they have wings or no wings, should .have six feet, whether they have to have to seek their food in . dungeons, or, like the butterfly, to roam from flower to flower. there is nothing like it in the animal kingdom. These parts, however, are extra vascular, and they serve as means of attachment, to allow the muscles to act. Four thousand and sixty muscles have been counted in these organs and connecting membranes in the body of an insect; let the atratomist-compare this with what he knows of the human body—not one-fourth of the amount. In making the change from a worm into an insect, an alteration takes place in all pat ts of the creatures economy. The masticatin , apparatus, the digestive organs, the nervous system, and 'the central system, all undergo a change. The liver of the cockchafer consists of a number of conglomerate tubuli; other insects are provided with follicular glands, for the purpose of pouring in gastric juice to digest the food. The circulating system of insects is a beautiful piece of mechanism. It was at one time thought, that as the humour passes so extensively through the body of an insect as to reach all parts of its body, there was no necessity for a circulating system,-but more careful investigation shows us how erroneous was this con clusion. .We see in some insects eight segments of the heart, each of which has.a valvular structure capable of allowing the ingress of fluid. These segments are contractable, by which means the blood is impelled forwards. It cannot get back, because the valves close.

We are glad to find an increasing attendance of the faculty at these lectures. This is the highest compliment which the town is capable of paying the merits of Dr. Grant. (From the Liverpool Courier.) Although most of our re.azlers are aware that a considera ble portion of the civilised woid is supplied with salt from the prolific vein of rock in this neighbourhood, and although many spend considerable sums in travel for the gratification of their curiosity, and compass sea and land to discover a shattered fragment or a mutilated statue, yet we are per suaded, that thousands of intelligent persons may be found, in our immediate vicinity, who have not the most remote idea of the magnificent spectacle which the salt mines of North wich present. Having had the recent gratification of wit nessing the huge cavern in which the present Emperor of Russia and his suite, and also our late lamented representa tive, Mr. Canning, were once so hospitably received and en tertained, we think a slight sketch of this wonderful mine may not be uninteresting to our readers. Several gentlemen having expressed a desire, at the hospi table table of one of the proprietors, that they might be per mitted to explore the subterranean world, the request was not only acceded to, but a large party of ladies and gentlemen were invited from Liverpool. Bolton, St. Helen's, Congleton, and other places, to meet at Northwich on Wednesday, where Mr. Worthington, Mr. Johnson, and other gentlemen con nected with the extensive works, had made preparations for their reception. 'We left Liverpool by the eight o'clock Bir mingham train, and, with the aid of one of those wonderful machines which is destined to assist in civilising mankind, and to effect kindly feelings between distant nations by mak ing them acquainted with each other, and which will, in a few years, lay open the wonders of unknown regions to every class, wearrived at Hartford station in about an hour-and a-half, where we found vehicles ready to carry us to North wich, distant only two miles. From this smoky but busy and thriving place to the great mine is about a mile, and the whole of the party, consisting of about seventy persons, having assembled at the "eye of the mine," preparations were made for the descent. Some little hesitation was evinced by the ladies, and not a few of the gentlemen were suddenly seized with that troublesome disorder called palpitation of the heart, when the rope and bucket were adjusted, and the question asked, " Who will descend first?" After a little bantering, one of the ladies stepped forward, escorted by a gentleman, and seated herself in the large tub, which was lihed with brown Holland, and the signal being given, the slide was withdrawn which covers the shaft of the mine, and in a few seconds they were out of sight. Friendly messages were sent by them to Pluto, and the gentleman was advised when he saw old Charon, to " trim the boat and sit quiet." Successive pairs presented themselves and quickly disap peared, each accompanied by a miner, to steady the tub, and pass in security the one ascending. Some of the gentle men, on the principle of the schoolboy passing the church yard at midnight, who " whistled aloud to keep his courage up," amused themselves by uttering, not singing, Friends depart and memory takes them To her caverns pure and deep, &c. The diameter of the shaft is about 12 feet, and the sides are strongly cased with brickwork until the rock is sufficiently strong to stand without such support. At a depth of 70 yards we passed the entrance to the upper bed of rock-salt, which is about 15 feet thick, and is entered horizontally from the shaft. The sensation of descending is peculiar, but it is neither dangerous nor unpleasant. The rope, which is quad rupled, is calculated to raise a ton weight, and seldom more than three persons, including the conductor, went down at one time. On arriving at the the bottom, the most splendid scene imaginable awaited us. It seemed as if we had been suddenly ushered into a spacious city at midnight, when every inhabitant was fast asleep, and where nothing inter vened to break the solemn silence. The view is at first most astounding; the visitor sees long and spacious streets diverging at every point, and vanishing away in a long perspective. Here a noble square,—there an extended cre scent; here a magnificent avenue,—there a space which imagination peoples with a thousand forms. Seventeen hundred candles, disposed so as to imitate the street lamps, but only twenty or thirty feet apart, illuminated this subterra neouS world, and shed over it a magnificence which no pen can fully describe. It seemed as if one had suddenly dropped into the grotto of Antiparos, or had been carried back to a midnight at Bagdad, and expected to meet the Caliph Haroun Alraschid, in one of his nocturnal rambles through that once brilliant city. When the whole party had arrived safely at the bottom, a sort of procession was spontaneously formed, and moved onwards through the fairy scene, all, both ladies and gentlemen, taking care not to be left far behind, as it would really be a difficult, if not impossible, matter, for a stranger to find his way alone to the pit's mouth. The party moved onwards through avenues of immense length, all exhibiting a blaze of splendour, and occasionally stopped to examine the square blocks of pure salt which are now and then cut out of the rock. After a walk of more than a mile through this scene of enchantment, on turning a corner, we saw, at the end of what seemed a vast square, the Royal Crown of Great Britain, and the letters V. R. glittering before us in all their brilliancy, and three cheers were imme diately called for the Queen, and most heartily given by all present, the echoes dying away in the far distance. Pursuing our course, we were struck with a most singular appearance at the end of an adjoining avenue which had been purposely left in darkness. The whole vault was at once lit up with an unearthly . splendour. The roof and the huge pillars which support it were vastly magnified, and the shadows were blended with the beautiful glace in a most remarkable man ner. It seemed as if a rainbow had suddenly made its ap pearance, and that the sun and clouds were striving for the mastery to gild or quench it. At last we saw a flame such as the witches in Macbeth had kindled, and several figures bending over it, whose shadows on the opposite wail were magnified to twenty times their size, exhibiting, with the rough edges of the pillars, a sharp distinctiveness of outline, which had a singular but beautiful effect. This illumination, which was several times repeated, was produced by burning blue lights in the distance, and gave us a good idea of the vastness of the excavation. V. - e next came upon the miners at work, and, as two blasts had been prepared, after all the party had ascended a ridge of the rock, and were placed at some distance behind the blasts, in a secure place, the match was applied and the explosion ensued. Many tons of the rock-salt were immediately loosened, and some of the shat tered fragments were blown to a considerable distance. The shock of the explosion did not subside for several minutes, but kept rolling onwards like thunder, echoed and re-echoed from vault to vault, until it gradually subsided into a dying cadence, and was finally lost in the distance. A few streets further we entered another spacious square,, and after our long walk, which, with t he windings ; must have been from two to three miles, were not a little gratified to see a table spread in the upper end of the square, which we found covered with a profusion of good things, both edible and di lutable, to which ample justice was done. The health of her Majesty was drunk in sparkling champagne, amidst the loudest cheers, and God save the Queen was sung by all present, the sweet voices of the ladies blending most har moniously with the continual reverberations of this exten sive cavern. Much humour was caused by references to the unhappy mortals in the toiling world above; and it was ob served by the chairman, who sat in front of an illuminated arch, that those were mistaken who asserted that the sun never set on any part of her Majesty's dominions, for we were then in one portion of it, where it never set, unless it were contended, that it could not set upon a territory on which it had never yet risen. The health of the proprietors, with thanks for their splendid treat, was next proposed, and after a libation had been poured out to the ladies, whose presence added so much to the happiness of the day, the party rose to pursue their researches, and the miners were left to gather up the fragments of the feast, when it was soon found that nothing was lost. After the banquet, the chairman proposed that, as we were assembled in one of the wonders of creation, and had all been so highly delighted with the scene, it would display our gratitude if we praised Him from whom all blessings flowed, and it would not be in consistent with the rational enjoyment we had that day pos sessed. The doxology was accordingly sang, none joining in it with great fervour than the poor miners who now crowded around, and as the lights soon after began to give symptoms of decay, one here and another there going out, preparation was made for the ascent, after three and a half delighted hotirs in the realisation of scenes to which the artificial exhibition's of earth, when decorated with all the skill and splendour of the most ingenious and talented artists, bear a taint com parison. In about half an hour, the whole party were safely landed on the upper platform, the steam-engine drawing up four per sons in about a minute and a halt, or, at most, not exceeding two minutes, the depth being 112 yards. After mutual con gratulations the party separated for their respective residen ces, and the Birmingham and Liverpool train passing Hart ford at half-past five o'clock, gave t hose who were disposed an opportunity of arriving very early at home. We are not intending to enter into any scientific explana tion respecting the formation of the immense and valuable mines which extend for some miles around and under North wich, more especially as the philosophers who visited this town last year investigated the subject most minutely, and the result of their visit is before the world; but we may add, that it is generally believed, that the climate of this country, in a former period, has partaken more of a tropical character than it does now,—that these mines have probably been the bed of a large salt-water lake,—tbat evaporathin has pro ceeded slowly,—and that during the deposition of the saline particles, the lake has been Subject to great inundations, and the deposition has, by such means; been SubjectedAd an ack mixture of iron, sand, and ferughious clay, which. with a small portion of magnesia, forms the rock-salt, 'of which this stratification is composed. The upper bed of this great mine contains a deposit of sul phate of lime and clear crystals ; but, as far as we could leant, is not so valuable as the bed we have described. Blocks of two feet square are occasionally found in a state of crystalli sation, unmixed with any earthy particles; a few specimens of these we observed in our underground peregrinations. The circumference of the mine is about two miles, and the aver age height is probably 15 to 18 feet. It is perfectly dry, and most admirably ventilated. The temperature, both summer and winter, is about 55 deg. The avenues are from 70 to 80 feet wide, and the roof is supported by pillars of 20 feet square. It has a most elegant appearance when illuminated, being spotted with figures of every shape and variety of shade ; some are elliptical, some pentagonal, some circular, some triangu lar, &c. Ponies are kept below to draw the rock on the rail ways to the mouth of the pit, and the stables are the first ob jects to arrest the eve on alighting, being placed so near the shaft for purposes of ventilation. We have been induced 'to give the above slight sketch of this wonderful region, because we are assured that numbers exist within a few hours' journey whose curiosity would be sa tisfied, and whose knowledge would be increased, by visiting them. To the geologist they form an interesting study; to the lover of natural beauty a rich treat; and all may visit them with profit and delight, as a part of the works of Him i of whom it is said with such majestic simplicity, "The sea is his and he made it, and his hands prepared the dry land." (c 1 WHIRI.WIND.—The whirlwind which we mentioned on Wednesday as having . occurred in the neighbourhood of Old ham on Monday evening, was felt also near Middleton, where its violence was very great, tearing large branches from all the trees growing in its course, and carrying them to an im mense height in the air. Some of them are said to have been carried a mile from the place whence they were torn. A very large willow tree, at Little Green Mill, near Middleton was split up the middle during the storm ; but we should rather suppose, that-this must have been done by lightning, which was several times observed during the continuance of the phe nomenon.—Manchester Guardian. A girl, on being asked at the Mayor's Court, Clonmel, on Wednesday, the 25th July, where she would go if she took a false oath, replied, "To Father Baldwin's for absolution, of course." -- ----- APPROACH TO THE MIRACULOUS.—On Saturday evening, a little boy, aged six years, was amusing himself by throwing stones into an old coal-pit at Dudley Hill, when, having the curiosity to look after a stone in its descent, he was precipita ted to the bottom of the pit, a depth of fifty-four feet. Having been seen to fall by a person at the time, means were imme diately employed to bring him up. On being taken home, surgical aid was promptly procured, when, on a careful ex amination, it was found that not a bone was broken, nor a joint dislocated ! The only wounds were one or two trifling ON BATHING.—For youth of both sexes cold bathing -in summer and tepid in winter is highly useful, and ought to be frequently indulged in; but great care is to be observed that bathing in rivers be not commenced too early in summer, before the water has acquired a proper degree of temperature ; and, at all times, that there be not too great a difference be tween the temperature of the body and that of the water. To expose the body to great and sudden varieties of temperature is always dangerous. Swimming is an exercise which calls into active exertion all the muscles of the body, and is, there fore, one tending much to strengthen the frame; but it ought not to be continued for any length of time; the slightest sen sation of weariness should be the signal for immediately leaving the liquid element and retreating to terra firma. To remain in the water after this monition, is not only to throw away all the benefits of the previous exercise, but to induce an exhaustion of strength so great as sometimes to prove fatal. It is truly gratifying, to observe the facilities that are daily springing up for enabling even the poor classes of s o ci..- -'encirrv , hr THURSDAY, AUGUST 16.

FATAL EFFECTS OF FEAR. —During the journey north wards of the stage-waggon of Messrs. Deacon and Co., of the White Horse-yard, Cripplegate, when entering Wormley from Cheshunt, it was found to be on fire, and the conductor having an impression that there were two barrels of gun powder in the vehicle, the horses were taken off, and they were got away as soon as possible. The result was, the wagon and its contents, thus left to their fate, were con sumed to ashes. It since appears that there was not a particle of powder in the waggon. The property destroyed is estimated at 1:3,000 It consisted of tea, a pianoforte, with case, weighing six cwt., household furniture of various descriptions, linen, hams (several of which were yesterday brought to Messrs. Deacon completely roasted), a large quantity of percussion caps, wine, spirits, &c.—County Chronicle. is now doing we which has hitherto, in oar country, been regarded as a luxury, and attainable only by the affluent, but which is, in reality, a necessary of healthy existence, and which, therefore, ought not to be confined to any one class of the community. * * * * As I have already said, bathing is highly benefi cial at every season of the year, and tepid bathing is perfectly safe even in the middle of winter; if on emerging from the bath the body be rubbed completely dry, and active exercise be taken no one need fear any ill consequences. It should, however, be added, that bathing is not in every case useful; and there are many states of the system in which it would prove highly injurious. Delicate persons ought. therefore, to act with (ft - eat caution in this matter.
