Should the Principle prove available in practice for either of uses, it will render -the present age the most re )le in the annals of mankind, and more especially so if • ' - hle for all the varied purposes of field xl by the inventor.

The mail-coach could not have left the post-ofice on Wednesday evening, if the different regiments had not sent their smiths to make the necessary repairs; and the workmen engaged in preparing the House of Peers for the approaching trial have joined the dis contented. The masons struck on Thursday morning, so that now almost every branch of trade is suspended. T he government is endeavouring to restrain the movement; but fears are ex pressed that it will not be able to do so without resorting to force, as the men are said to be well supplied with money. The garrison was under arms in barracks on Thursday, and our correspondent says the authorities ace determined to act with vigour should the occasion arise. Hitherto the ordi nances have been disobeyed, as the meetings continue outside the barrier, and at night on the boulevards. But if the orders of the police are further resisted, the garde municipale will enforce them at the point of the bayonet. Our correspondent says he is desirous of not creating alarm on this subject, but he has reason to know that energetic measures will, if neces sary, be resorted to. An emeute at this moment would add materially to the embarrassment of the government. The decline of the funds of the close of Thursday's market was said to be owing to the increasing force of the operatives. SPAIN Our Valencia correspondent describes the reception given to the Queen of Spain, and the circumstances which led to the late disorders and consequent resignation of two of the ministers. The Queen Regent andthe innocent Isabel arrived at Valencia on the 23d, and were received with general accla mation. The windows of the houses were filled with ladies, who waved their handkerchiefs, and flung garlands in the line of the procession, and the people behaved with the greatest enthusiasm and decorum. On the 24th the French ambassador reached Valencia, and was received with the accustomed honours. On the 26th the emeute began, in consequence of some disagreement between the moderadoa, who wished to give a serenade to the Queen, and the people, who wished to prevent it. The crowd that assembled on this occasion became very violent, and, after crying for the constitution and for liberty, proceeded to cry " Death to the maderados." General O'Donnell ordered out the garrison, and with great difficulty the mob was dispersed. Fresh troops were immediately sent for, and the general in com mand seems determined to sacrifice the rioters without mercy should another emeute be attempted. The ministers, Onis and Cabello, instantly sent in their resignation, which cir cumstance places the Queen in a great difficulty. The Madrid Bourse, on the 26th, was flat, at 261.—Morning Herald. (From the Times of Yesterday.) INSURRECTION IN MADRID—ATTACK ON THE CAPTAIN GENERAL—ARREST OF GENERAL BUERENS—(POLITICAL CHIEF—CHANGE OP THE SPANISH MINISTRY.—We have received by extraordinary express the. Paris papers of Satur day night, with a letter from our Paris correspondent. The Moniteur Parisien and the Messager publish the following : By a royal decree, dated Valencia, August 28th, the new Spanish ministry was organized in the following_ manner M. Costazar; Minister of Justice and President of the Council, ad interim. Xavier Aspiroz, Minister of War. Antonio-y-Zayas, Minister of War . Firmin Krtata, Minister of the Interior. Armero, Minister of the Marine. M. Secades, Minister of Finance, ad interim. On the announcement of the formation of this ministry, which is in the sense of the majority of the Cortes, the muni cipality of Madrid declared itself in permanence (on the Ist September). The national militia took arms and possesion of the principal posts. The captain-general, Aldama, received a discharge of musketry which killed his horse and disabled his aid-de-camp. He took up a position at the Reteiro, with two battalions of infantry, and several pieces of artillery. The political chief Buerens was arrested and confined in the Hotel de Ville. In spite of these events of the day, the aspect of Madrid was tranquil on the night of the Ist inst. To the above, the Messager adds the following particulars respecting the new ministry:— Co;tazar. the friend of Isturiz, is the president of the Cour Royal of Valladolid, and deputy for Zamora. M. Aspiroz, an ex-deputy, and general in the army of the centre, under O'Donnell, was brought up in France, and studied at the Lyceum of Pau, and at the school of Soreze. He had been a page of King Joseph. M. Zayas does not belong to either chamber. He has been Charge d'Affaires in Belgium, and was Chef de Bureau at the ministry for foreign affairs at the moment of his nomi nation. M. Arteta, formerly a deputy, Lieut.-Colonel of engineers. was political chief of Navarre. In fine, Messrs. Armero and Secsdes were members of the late ministry. PORTU GAL Accounts from Lisbon to the 31st ult. have been received. It appeared that a 'serious disturbance had broken out at Castello Branco, the 6th regiment of infantry in garrison in that place having revolted, and proclaimed the Constitution of lE&.. Measures were immediately taken by government for the suppression of the revolt by the despatch of such troops to the spot as could be depended upon ; but the gene ral aspect of affairs in the interior of Portugal was of a very menacing character. The law for the suspension of the habeas corpus, amended in the senate, has been passed, and was published in the official gazette. The treaty of com merce between Portugal and the United States has at length been officially concluded, but has yet to be laid before the Cortes. EGYPT, "ALEXANDRIA, Auc. 18.—Rifaat Bey presented to the Viceroy on the 16th inst. the the treaty of the quadruple al liance. Mehemet Ali replied, with firmness and resolution, that he was decided on not accepting it. 'lt is with the sabre that I have conquered the provinces which I govern, and I wish a good digestion to whomsoever shall attempt to take them from me by the sabre. But are you not ashamed, Con stantinopolitans, of permitting foreigners, Christians to in vade your provinces ? What good can the empire derive in seeking, by such odious means, the annihilation of the solo nucleus of force which constitutes its nationality ? May Allah curse all the Ministers of the Porte who are so blind as not to see that they are promoting the ruin of Islamism! But depend upon it, you will not humiliate Mehemet Ali : he is inflexible in his resolutions. He has sworn by the terrible oath of the Nlussulinans to conquer or die for the defence of Islamism, and even for the support of the Sultan, even in spite of himself. Should I fall, ' continued he with energy, depend upon it my defect shall be dearly purchased. I shall continue on the defensive till further events. If attacked, I will repel force by force, I however, reserve to myself the faculty of acting according to circumstances, should any at tempt be made on my authority, either by open or secret at tacks." " Rifaat Bey, who little expected such energetic resistance on the part of the Viceroy, felt rather awkward during this conference. Instead of commencing by giving Mehemet Ali the Vizier's letter, he remitted it ; but as I.e went away, stammered out, ' I have also a letter for your highness from the Sublime Porte.' " Fifty-seven chiefs of the Druses arrived here a few days ago ; they are to be sent to Sennaar as aides-de-camp to Achmet Pacha. Emir Haider, the most influential chief of Lebanon, with the exception of Emir Beschir, to whom Lord Palmerston had promised the title of ' Head of the Moun tain,' has sent in his submission. " To put a stop to the intrigues which the Anglo-Russian agents have attempted to form among the officers of the Turkish fleet, the Pacha has ordered the crews of all the ships to consist of Turks and Egyptians. This order has been executed. " Yesterday evening the four consuls went to present their note to the Viceroy, who, not expecting their visit, had gone after dinner to enjoy the breeze in his garden. The four gentlemen proceeded thither. M. de Lautin, the Austrian Consul-General, being the senior consul, spoke to his high ness. Mehemet Ali expressed his determination of acceding to no treaty which should deprive him of an inch of ground. Count de Medem, Russian Consul General, having dwelt on the perils he would meet with in resisting such powerful op ponents, the Pacha, with a smile, thanked him for his solici tude, saying, Make yourself easy ; before I am ready to fall I know more than one great power that will find itself still more awkward than I shall be. lam fully aware of the mission you are charged with, and discussion is useless. My resolution is positive. Besides, you have no arms to go to war with me. The only arm you are entrusted with Is the pen; write to me and I will answer you.' Very well" re plied the consuls, who took leave of the Viceroy, saying that they would return either together or alone. ' You will ever be welcome,' " said Mehemet Ali, ironically. RUSSIA ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 22.—1 t is positively affirmed that their Imperial Majesties the Grand Duchess Olga, the Grand Duke Alexander and his bride, and the Princess Mary of Hesse, will arrive at Zurskejeselo, on the 9th of September, where they will spend some weeks. On the 28th of Sep tember, the august bride, accompanied by the imperial family, will make her solemn entry into the capital. Great prepara tions are making here for the ceremony. The marriage will not take place till July next year. Among the possessions hitherto held by onr Government, on the north-west coast of America, was the colony of Ross, above California, in the 38th degree of north latitude. We now abandon it, after thirty years possession. The popula tion, consisting of Russians, Creoles, Aleutians, and Indians, 255 persons, all professing the Christian religion, have re ceived orders to quit the colony and to remove to Lilka. HANOVER. HANOVER., Ave. 21.—Within a short time the life of our beloved Sovereign has been twice in great danger, which Heaven happily saved. Once was at the King's late hunting party at the Giihrae. There, as we are told, the fowling piece that was standing near the King went off in consequence of the jolting of the carriage, and the ball passed but a few inches of the King's head. The second time was when the Kin- was riding out a large dog attacked the King's horse, which was frightened, and-began to plunge and rear up. The King's good horsemanship and presence of mind, and the aid-de-camp hastening to his assistance prevented a fatal accident. When such events fill the loyal Hanoverians with apprehensions for their revereil King, on the other hand we may hope that the skilful hand of Jiiger, who is positively expeted here tomorrow, will complete the work of Grafe, and restore the sight of the Cron Prince. CIRCASSIA B ESSARAB IA, AUG. 12.—The Russian armsin a t l lie f(r;auca o Cauca sus are still in repose ; the orders to refrain from opera tions have Just been repeated. Some ascribe this to general political considerations , especially with regard to Turkey. Others affirm that the repose is rendered necessary, both by the dreadful heat and the great sickness which pre vails among the Russian troops. The preparations for strik ing a decisive blow, however, continue, and fresh troops are constantly arriving in Bessarabia. Thus, the 12th division of infantry, under Lieutenant-General Kuszyn (of which two regiments were previously detached to the actual corps of operations), lately arrived from Warsaw. The division belongs to the 4th corps, which forms the reserve, and will probably winter in Bessarabia. The head-quarters are at iszineff. Next to this is the 11th division of Karnineez, and then the 10th in Kiew, where the emperor will shortly arrive to inspect the troops. While the Russians are thus quiet, the Circassian!, on their part, seem to be preparing for the approaching severe struggle. Most of the tribes are quiet, only the Ischets chenses and the Kabardines make from time to time sudden t a l steas c.fakisllttotti is n c the Ru ss i an t roops, an d cause th e m to suffer much prettymountaineersconfidently reported that Prince Paske witsch i s expected to dire c t th e g i gant i c o per a tions against COLONIAL' INTELLIGENCE. NEW SOUTH WALES. We have received a file of Sydney papers to the 30th of April, inclusive. They do not add much to the intelligence previously received. The following are the only extracts of importance:— A NO THER Boum R.—Nathaniel Davies, better known as one connected with the Cato -street conspirators, who cut off the heads of the offenders, and held them up to the g aze o f the multitude some y ears a g o, exclai ming , " Behold the head of a traitor !" but who latel y has been employed in collect ing monies for the Gas Light Company, has bolted from the Colony, it i s s upposed, with about 4100 . of the comp any ' s cash. The committee, it is rumoured, has taken steps to lustice, and thereby make an example of him, to d eter others capture the runaway, in order , if po ssible, to bring him to from following in his, and his predecesors' steps. This is another instance in proof for the consideration of the legisla ture, of the immediate necessity for the enactment of a regu lation to compel all parties intending to leave the colony to publish such intention, with full name, and previous occupa tion, some short time, as in its wisdom may be thought ne cessary, previous to departure. As it now is, any free person may leave the colony in debt, when he thinks proper, with impunity; and as he pockets his ill-gotten gains, laughs at the credulity of his creditors. And so it will of course con tinue to be until the government issue orders, as we think it ought to do, declaring it illegal for any person to embark as a passenger on board any vessel, without undergoing this necessary ordeal; and also, making it fineable for any mas ter of a vessel to receive any passenger on board his ship without their producing the necessary testimonials as before stated. This will prevent the honest tradesman from in evitable ruin, which certainly will eventually hi the case if some salutary alteration be not speedily made. NEW CLIERCHES.—A meeting was held on Monday last, in the vestry of St. Phillip's church, of individuals interested in the erection of an additional church or chapel of ease to St. Phillip's parish, which has long been required for the daily increasing inhabitants in and about that neighbour hood. JOHN THOMAS WILSON.—This notorious man was seen in company with the captain of the Nereus, a short time back, doing it up " brown," on the island of Guam. It is a pity a vessel is not sent to secure him, no doubt he could soon be traced among the Indian islands. He would be a fine subject to make an example of to bolters. THE MAREETS.—TUESDAY, APRIL 22.—Flour has taken a fall of £5 per ton since our last publication. The prices now asked at all the mills are, for first quality, 50s. per 1001bs. ; second quality, 40s. per 1001bs. ; Third quality, 30s. per 1001bs.—Bread, 41b. loaf, Is. 10d. NOVA SCOTIA We have received a copy of the Halifax Journal, of Aug. 10 ; the following are the only paragraphs worth extracting : SVRVIVORS OF THE VERNON.—The survivors of the crew of the brig Vernon arrived here yesterday in the schooner Mercy Jane, from Havana. Six of the pirates were to be shot the morning that vessel left ; one had escaped ; the offi cer and men who had the pirates in charge were to be impri soned, where they were to be kept until his recapture. The Spanish captain, by whose spirited and noble conduct the pirates were captured and the survivors rescued, has been promoted to the rank of lieutenant in the Spanish navy. We are glad to learn that the merchants of this town intend to present him with some testimonial of their respect for his praiseworthy conduct on the occasion. NEWFOUNDLAND By the kindness of Captain Graham, from Newfoundland, we have papers from that place to the 16th of July. The following gratifying intelligence is from the Newfoundlander: Pictou isultux .—We. are gratified to be enabled to state that the prospects of the Fishery at the present moment are flattering,—all accounts concur in furnishing favourable re ports, and the issue we trust may not disappoint the present just expectations : a good cod fishery, following the late pros perous sealing voyage, together with the abundance and cheapness of the necessaries of life, will place our population on a more favoured footing taken for many years past. WEST INDIES The Swift packet has brought the usual files of papers from the West India islands. The dates arc—from Jamaica to the 29th July, from Demerara to the 18th July, from Barbadoes to the 16th July, from Trinidad to the 17th July, and from Antigua to the 21st July, all inclusive. At Jamaica , it appears, that notwithstanding the lateness of the season, and the previous long drought, the coffee pro perties in the Manchester district had not suffered much. The berries were ripening fast. The weather generally continued dry and dusty. The negroes being out of provisions, would, it was said, be obliged to work for hire. Bills were being drawn on London by the Colonial bank at 2 per cent. premi um for 30. A shock of an earthquake was felt in Spanish town on the morning of the 22d. The Legislative Assembly had been further prorogued to the Ist Septamber. In consequence of several attempts at incendiarism in the island of Barbadoes, the governor had in one particnlar in stance offered a reward of £2OO, which it was thought would lead to the detection of the parties concerned. The pro spects of the crops had increased through the timely setting in of the rainy season. The young canes were already par tially refreshened, and the Indian corn and yams looked pro mising. _ _ The - Trinidad Assembly was in deliberation, but the mea sures before it were of no public importance. In Antigua a proclamation for the discovery of incendiaries had also been made. The governor was to leave the island on the 23d for England, but his absence would only be of temporary duration. Public tanks were in course of con struction to alleviate distress caused by drought, and they were already in a forward state. ECCLESIASTICAL AND UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE (From the Oxford Herald.) The Rev. Dr. 'Wynter, Pre - sident of St:John's College, will be nominated to succeed Dr. Gilbert in the office of Vice-Chancellor of this University, at the commencement of the ensuing month. THE SEE OF CHICHESTER.—This Bishoprick, which has become vacant by the lamented death of Dr. Otter, it is ex. pected will be filled by an Oxford man. Amongst those whose names we have heard mentioned as most likely to succeed, is that of Dr. Shuttleworth, Warden of New Col lege. The ministerial papers have been advancing the claims of Dr. Hampden, Regius Professor of Divinity, and Dr. Arnold, Head Master of Rugby School, on the ground that they are not likely to follow the example of the Rev. Pre lates of Ripon and Salisbury (Drs. Longley and Denison,) who refused to join the ministers in their schemes of church spoliation. The name of the Rev. Dr. Hindes has also been put forward, from his connexion with the premier. The Rev. John Bartholomew, M.A., of Corpus Christi College, is elected a Canon of the Cathedral of Exeter, in the room of the Rev. Dr. Fisher, deceased. PROMOTIONS Rev.

COURT CIRCULAR.-SATURDAY The Queen Dowager, accompanied by the Duchess Ida of Saxe Weimar, arrived at Marlborough House at half past 11 o'clock yesterday morning, from her residence in Bushby Park. Her majesty paid a visit to the Princess Augusta, at Clarence House, St. James's, and also visited the Duchess of Gloucester, at Gloucester House. At four o'ciock yesterday afternoon the Queen Dowager, accompanied by the Duchess Ida of Saxe Weimar, 'aft town in a carriage and four for Bushby Park. The Princess Augusta was visited yesterday by the Duke of Cambridge the Duchess of Gloucester, and the Duchess Ida of Saxe Weimar. Sir Henry Halford attended her royal highness yesterday morning, ana Mr. Moore was in attend ance on the princess during the day. The following account of her royal highness's health was issued yesterday : " There has been no improvement in the health of the Princess Augusta, since yesterday, and her royal highness has passed another very disturbed night. ".Clarence House, Sept. 4." _ _ _ Among the inquirers after the state of her royal highness, yesterday, were the Baron de Moncorvo, the Portuguese min ister, the Netherlands minister and Madame Dedel, the Sar dinian minister, the Hanoverian minister, the Duchess of In verness, the Duchess Dowager of Marlborough, Marquis and Marchioness of Winchester, Earl of Fingall, Viscountess Ashbrook, Lord Frederick and Lady Augusta Gordon, Lady W. Gordon, Col. H. Seymour, and Col. Wynyard. WINDSOR, FRIDAY.—The wet and unfavourable state of the weather to-day has prevented the Queen and Prince Al bert from enjoying their accustomed airing. The Princess Hohenlohe and Princess Theresa rode out together in the forenoon. Sir Henry Wheatley left the castle this morning for town, The following will be included in the royal dinner party this evening : Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, Princess Ho henlohe, Princess Theresa, Viscount Melbourne, Viscount Palmerston, Lady C.

MISCELLANEOUS CAUTION TO TILIDESMEN.—A great many gilt sixpences are now being attempted to be passed as half sovereigni. Three diamonds have been found in the auriferous sands of the river Gouinel, in the province of Constantine. One of them weighs three carats. Mr. Brunel, the engineer, has offered to bet £lOOO, that on the completion of the Great Western Railway, he will go from Bristol to London in two hours ! There is a vacancy in the East India Direction by the death of Mr. Campbell Majoribanks, which took place on Tues day, at his residence at Bushy Grove, Herts. The towns and villages bordering on the Lakes of Cumber land and Westmorland are full to overflowing with tourists and students from the universities. SOUTH CHESHIRE AGRICULTURAL ASSOCIATION. The annual meeting of this association will be held at North wich on the 24th of this month. It is expected to be very well attended. " Well, sir, (said one person to another, to whom he had, in a matter of business, made a very absurd offer,) do you entertain my proposition ?" " No, sir, (replied the other), but your proposition entertains me." The Hon. Charles Stuart Wortley, youngest son of Lord Wharncliffe, will be brought forward at the next election, in the conservative interest, as a candidate for the reprpsenta tion of Thirsk. WELSH BISHOPS.—A correspondent suggests that an op portunity occurs, by the demise of Dr. Otter, Bishop of Chi chester, for the ministry to translate Dr. Thirlwall, who has not yet taken possession of the see of St. David, to the va cant English see, and give that of St. David's to a Welsh scholar. There cannot be a doubt .that this arrangement would be satisfactory to all parties.—Merthys Gunrdian. A seedling cherry was exhibited at the meeting of the horticultural society at Worthing, of large size, and 26 of which weighed half a pound. It grew on a wall with a western aspect, and the tree was a good bearer, but the fruit was scarcely equal to the old Morella cherry. DUTY ON FRENCII OAK.—We learn from the journal de Granville that the French government had laid a duty of 10d. per cubic foot on French oak exported from that country for the purpose of ship-building, which amounts to an abso lute prohibition, and will be highly prejudicial to the ship wrights of this island.—Jersey paper. " Friend Franklin," said Myers Fisher, a celebrated Quaker lawyer, from Philadelphia, one day, " Thee knows almost everything ; can thee tell how I am to preserve my small beer ? My neighbours are often tapping it o'nights." " Put a barrel of old Madeira by the s►de of it," replied the doctor, " let them but get a taste of the Madeira, and I'll engage they will never trouble your small beer any more." Mr. Gypson, an aeronaut, has invented a new valve placed externally on the top of the balloon, by means of which may the machine, on reaching terra firma, be althost instantly emptied of its contents, and rendered stationary, thus enabling the occupants of the car to land without any of those risks arising from the rebounding of the machine, or dragging along the ground. Last Wednesday, as a girl named Clark, with a child in her arms, about two years old, was witnessing Batty's col lection of wild beasts, exhibiting in Bath, she incautiously approached too near one of the cages containing a leopard. The animal caught at her clothes, and on the girl turning round it grasped the child's face near the eye, lacerating it in a frightful manner, and making several indentations with its teeth about the jaw and neck. The child expired shortly afterwards. The Times has brought a charge against Lord Melbourne, of having neglected to adopt an invention proposed to him, which would have the effect of mowing down the ranks of an enemy in no time. The description of this extraordinary war-engine is not given, and therefore we cannot form an opinion whether the Premier is culpable or not. It is a curious fact, however, that the Moniteur Indusiriel, a Paris paper, recently brought a similar charge against the War Minister of France ; who, it would appear, has been infinitely more careless about the safety of his country than Lord Mel bourne even. The report of the committee appointed by the admiralty to inquire into the advantages afforded by the different ports for the West Indian mails, has been published ; from which it appears, that the committee strongly recommend Dart mouth, in preference to Southampton, which latter port had been recommended by the chairman of the Royal Mail Steam packet Company. The chief requisites of a port for a packet station, they conceive to be adjacent headlands, the lights exhibited thereon, freedom from outlying dangers, depth of water in the entrance and within the harbour, the rise of tide and strength of its stream, and above all the tranquillity of the waters. MEMBERS FOR OLDHAM.—Mr. John Fielden and Gen. Johnson addressed the electors and non-electors of the bo rough of Oldham, on Monday last. Mr. Fielden stated that he had no confidence in the present administration ; it was the worst ministry there had been for a long period; and he would rather bring in the tories than continue the whips. General Johnson declared that he had agreed with his col league on almost every occasion brought forward during the last session. The assemblage passed a resolution unanimously approving of the conduct of the members. GUIDE POSTS.—At the late assizes at Guildford, Baron Gurney reminded the grand jury that there was an act of parliament which appeared to be very seldom acted upon, which required that where roads crossed each other, sign posts should be put up to direct passengers. This might be done by the inhabitants of the neighbourhood, or the direc tion of the magistrates ; but as the former, from being well acquainted with the locality, were not likely to take any trou ble in the matter, it was highly essential that the magistrates should interfere, because the public suffered very great in convenience from the want of these direction posts. DISCOVERY OF ROMAN COINS.—On Saturday last, some men at work in a brick-field of Mr. Walmsley's, near the Landmark, Fleetwood, found upwards of 300 Roman coins. They are principally of silver, and are in a very fair state of preservation. We have seen a few of them, which bear the impress of " Sabina." " Nerva," " Antoninus," and " Adrianus." Most of the coins are now in the possession of Sir Hesketli Fleetwood, Bart., M.P.—Preston Chronicle. CHURCH EXTENSION.—Last week, workmen commenced pulling down the range of old buildings in Wilton-p!ace, London, which formerly were occupied as the foot guards' barracks. A new church is about to be built on this site, to be called " St. Paul's, Belgravo-square," which is to form an additional parochial district of the parish of St. George's, Hanover-square. The Marquis of Westminster has granted the freehold of the site, and £3OOO has been paid to the pre sent lessee for his remaining interest in it. The patronage is to be in the hands of the Bishop of London, who has ap pointed the Rev. William Bennett, minister of Portman Chapel, St. Marylebone. to be the first incumbent. PRINCE ALBERT'S FIRST RAILWAY JOURNEY IN ENG LAND.—Prince Albert travelled on Thursday, for the first time, in England. An express arrived at Windsor Castle, by the Great Western Railway, bringing intelligence that the Princess Augusta's illness had assumed so alarming an ap pearance that it was feared she would survive but a few hours. Her Majesty immediately urged the Prince to lose no time in proceeding to Clarence House. Accordingly an especial train was ordered to be in readiness to convey his royal highness to Paddington at three o'clock. At that hour the Prince arrived at Slough, where a train, to which waN attached the Sunbeam engine, with its steam well up, was awaiting his arrival. The Prince reached Paddington in ex actly 23 minutes, and his journey back occupied 22 minutes. His royal highness more than once expressed the great de light he experienced at railway travelling. DISCOVERY OF CdlNs.—A gold refiner, in the neighbour. hood of Clerkenwell, lately purchased a quantity or old gold and silver, and, upon examining his purchase closely, after the person who had sold them had gone, he found amongst it some extremely rare Greek and Roman coins in a very fine state of preservation, amongst them were three "espasians, two Julius Caesars, and one Titus ; there were also some very curious English ones amongst them, particu larly one Alfred, several William Rufus, Stephen, Richard 1., &c. Whether these are the produce of some late rob bery of some collector or not we cannot state; the purchaser says the seller was a most respectable looking man. On Wednesday an inquest was held at Faannet, county of Donegal, to investigate the circumstances connected with the death of a female found buried in Ballikinard bog. It ap peared that while some men were occupied cutting turf on Friday evening, the 21st ult. they discovered the body dressed in a dark stuff gown, and flannel petticoat, with a scarlet handkerchief round the head. The wretched woman had evi dently been barbarously murdered, as her throat was cut in a most frightful manner, the hair, and a riband encircling the head, stained with blood, and the left arm broken. Several witnesses were examined, who clearly identified the body as that of Betty Thompson, wife of Owen M'Swine, deceased, who suddenly disappeared in the month of May, 1811, under circumstances of a most suspicious nature. It had always been rumoured in the neighbourhood from the time she had been missed, that the body had been buried in the bog after she hid been murdered, by the parties suspected, though, strange to say, no search was made, nor did any investigation ever take place. It was really astonishing to see. a human body, for thirty years inhumed in a bog, with the lineaments apparently perfect and unchanged as the day the unfortunate creature was murdered ; and the clothes of the deceased were Aninjnred by time. Even the smallpox, with which she was slightly marked, was clearly discernable, from the powerful anticeptic qualities of the bog. The figure was fully propor• tioned, and the limbs perfectly elastic and finely formed. with beautiful dark hair flowing down the neck, as if veiling from the eye of nature the horrid deed of an unnatural assassin. The jury found—" That the body was the body of Betty Thompson, who disappeared in the month of May, 1811, and that she came by her death in consequence of a wound in flicted on her throat with some sharp instrument, by some person or persons unknown."—Derry paper. THE DERRY CASTLE ESTATE, IN IRELAND.—The sale of this splendid property has made a considerable sensation in the moneyed world—it was indeed so highly appreciated, that the aid of Mr. George Robins was required by a special re tainer to come to Dublin. Gresham's splendid hotel, in Sackville-street, was selected as the seat of action, and Thursday in last week was the appointed day. His large rooms were thronged even before the. hour of sale arrived. Mr. Robins here indulged them with a lengthened exordium, in which he availed himself of every favourable topic, and dwelt with much animation on the advantages arising from an investment where they were fortunately free from the tur moil of politics, and each farm was relieved from that scourge to Irish property, the middle men, who, it is pretty generally known, are the pests who take the farms at low rents in order relet them to the industrious class beyond their value. He was peculiarly happy in contrasting the interest derivable from land, and the unhealthy state of the funds. He told them he was just old enough to remember the Three per Cents at 473, and if a war with France took place he should have the mortification to see them shorily at 65, the time had therefore arrived to exchange such precarious security into terra firma. We have not room to follow him through his energetic appeal. He provoked a considerable excite ment and consequent competition, and a rental approaching £2,600 a-year was knocked down for 70,000 guineas. We are told it was not actually sold at the sale, but that Mr. Guinness, our wealthy townsman (and the best brewer of porter in Europe), became the purchaser immediately after. —Dublin paper. The Derry Castle estate, county of Tip perary, was set up to auction on Thursday by the celebrated the bidding went up George Robins, at 50,000 guineas► when rapidly to £69,000, which, not beir gconpiered the full value of this splendid property, it was bought in at 70,000 guineas. We understand that Mr. Guinness is in private treaty for it. —Limerick Chronicle. The Derry Castle Estate. An in fluential and numerous assembly grouped about Mr. George Robins yesterd a y, a t Gresham's Hotel, on the occasion of his second profession a l visit to this country. The bidders for this property w ere nu merous, but nothing beyond 70,000 guineas were offered. At this amount the hammer fell, and it was announced that the estate had been bought in, and was consequently still in the market. Mr. Robins, in the course of his address took occasion to pay a most marked compliment to Messrs. Neville. He alluded to the admira ble and satisfactory manner in which the survey of the Derry Castle estate h a d b een comp l e ted by them, and added th a t if he wanted any surveying done in Ireland he need not look to London, when such competent surveyors were to be had as the Messrs. Neville, of Dublin. We have since heard that Mr. Guinness is likely to be the purchaser.—Saunders's News Letter and Daily Advertiser. Sale of the Great Derry Estate.—This celebrated and romantically-situated estate, the property of Michael Henry Head, Esq., was yesterday brought to the hammer by Mr. George Robins, at Gresham's Hotel. The sale excited considerable interest. 70,000 guineas was the highest bidding, but at this offer the estate was not disposed of. We understand that our respectable and wealthy fellow-citizen, Mr. Guinness, is .in private treaty for it.—Dublin Morning Register. The Marquis of Normanby has been elected Lord High Steward of the borongh of Hull, in the room of the late Earl of Durham. So little comparative interest do railways excite in the west of England, that we understand there are individuals in Man chester who have a larger bona fide interest in the Bristol and Exeter Railway than the entire city of Exeter. An advance of 10s. per ton has been made on the price of iron by the Staffordshire and Welsh houses, caused by the sudden demand for rails for the railroads in America. Mr. Stephens. a confectioner at Southampton, was suffo cated last week by descending into his ice -house, which is 20 feet below the surface, before the noxious gas, which; had accumulated, had been expelled. The foundation-stone of a new church was laid at Shaftes bury last week. The accommodation in the new church will be for 850 persons ; 450 sittings being free. Estimated cost £3200. Mr. Hayter (who painted her Majesty's portrait before she came to the throne, by command of the King of the Bel gians, and subsequently as " England's Queen," for her Majesty's uncle) is now at Windsor, and constantly attends at the castle every morning, to instruct her Majesty in the art of etching. Captain Crow and the crew of the City of Edinburgh steamer, were on Thursday released from confinement. Messrs. Borcaut and Bacciochi, who were arrested for the attempt of Prince Louis, have also been discharged. The Derby Mercury infers that there will shortly be a new election for that borough from the circumstance that there is an unusual stir among the whigs there, and from the vol untary and gratuitous distribution of ale in several of the public houses in that interest having been iu constant exer cise for more than a week. Mr. Ponsonby is the member who is expected to retire. NEW SPECIES OF KANGAROO.—Mr. Gould, who has just returned from Australia, has discovered, and described be fore the London Zoological Society, six new species of kan garoo, inhabiting the interior of that country. Some of them are of a very remarkable formation, and the entire number form very interesting additions to the specimens of that most curious animal previously mown to the zoological student. OKRA CorroN.—This species of cotton has now esta blished amongst the planters of that part of Alabama, where it was first discovered and most extensively cultivated, an undisputed superiority over all other varieties of the'short staple. The yield to the acre is extraordinary, and the staple finer, while its turn-out from the gin head is still more asto nishing. On good land the product is 3,000 pounds to the acre. WESLEYAN METHODISTS.—The gross receipts of money during the past year for missionary purposes by the Wesleyan body, from every source, both at home and abroad, has been £92,697 18s. Bd., being an increase of annual income amount ing to more than £30:000 on the year 1838. The expendi ture has been for the past year, for missionary purposes, £104,017 6s. ld. It is whispered that the King of Hanover is carrying on his suit against the Queen of England, for the restoration of diamonds, amounting in value to the sum of £50,000. which it is contended belong to the crown of Hanover, and it is alleged that the deposition of the Princess Augusta has been taken, her infirm state of health rendering such a course ne cessary. BANK OF ENGLAND.—The following notice was issued at the bank on Thursday :—" The governor and company of the Bank of England are ready, until further notice, to re ceive applications for loans, upon the deposit of approved Bills of Exchange, not having more than six months to run, Exchequer Bine and East India Bonds ; such loans to be re paid on or before the 27th October next, with interest at the rate of 5 per cent per annum, and to be for sums of not less than £2,000 each."—Bank of England, Sept. 3, 1840. FACTS FOR BACHELORS.—Of 169 convicts in the Con necticut state prison, 104 were never married ; and, of the residue, 11 have lost their wives, and 22 had parted from their wives when the crimes were committed which carried them to prison, leaving only 32 (out of 169) who at the time of their fall remained within the influence of the conjugal relation. Farther, of the whole number, 108 were intempe rate, 78 sold liquors, 92 left their parents under 21 years of age, 32 had been sailors, and 12 had been soldiers. Coloured, 44.—New York Journal of Commerce. TENDER AVOWAL IN TIIE WAY OF TRADE.—A young and pretty girl stepped into a store where a spruce young man, who had long been enamoured, bunlared not speak, stood behind the counter, selling dry goods. In order to remain as long as possible, she cheapened everything; at last she said, " I believe you think lam cheati ng y ou .' " Oh, no," said the youngster, "to me you are always fair." "Well," whispered the lady, blushing as she laid an empha sis on the word, " I would not stay so long bargaining, if you were not so dear." Within the last few days all labelled letters passing through the Post-office have been stamped in black ink instead of red, a change which has been brought about in consequence of a communication lately received by the Government from a scientific chemist (who declines giving his name), in which he explains the method of preparing a composition which will entirely annihilate the red stamp, reducing the label to its original appearance ; but it will only possess this power over the red ink, the colouring matter of the black ink being such as to resist the action of this compound. In future the black will be substituted for the red. CHA.TSWORTII.—The splendid new conservatory is nearly completed. Workmen are employed in the erection of an immense piece of artificial rockery, through which proceeds the hidden way to the lofty galleries of the place. This con servatory is oil an immense scale, extending over an acre of ground ; and when replete with choice exotics —some of na ture's choicest gifts—cannot fail to become a novelty of general interest, and to have many claims on the attention of our more learned horticulturists. Some idea of its magni'- tude may be formed on knowing that the central arch of the roof is seventy-six feet high, with a span of seventy feet, af fording ample room for the stupendous growth of the Ameri can aloe, (Agave Americana,) or indeed the loftiest green house plants ever fostered in these islands. The road towards it from the lawn at the foot of the distant cascade is to be hidden by an artificial rock arch, now in the course of erec tion, and which is to be covered with trees and shrubs. CRUEL CASE OF SWINDLING.—On Monday last, two fellows, dressed as farm st ewar d s , en t ere d a pu bl ic -h ouse i n Kelso,in which were several Irish reapers, pretending to be in quest of their services. Having agreed as to terms, the sham stewards requested from the shearers some security for the fulfilment of their engagements, and ultimately prevailed upon two to part with their little stock of money, amounting to nearly one pound, on condition of its being'returned to them when they appeared in the field. Having given their dupes directions as to where the farms were situated, toge ther with the farmers' names, which it is almost.uunecessary to add were fictitious, the scoundrels decamped, and the poor fellows discovered their loss only on making inquiry for the imaginary farms.—Caledonian Mercury. SUBMARINE OPERATIONS AT SPITHEAD. —Mr. Dean and his party, who are working at the wreck of the Mary Rose, sunk in battle in the year 1545, in the reign of henry VIII., have for their object the recovery of brass guns and such valuable articles ; and their purpose has been fully an swered last week. A brass gun, between 11 and 12 feet long, of exquisite workmanship, and upwards of five inches in the bore, has been fished up—it bears an inscription which will be easily read when the gun is washed ; even at present, the name of Henry VIII. can be made out—over the inscription is a beautiful full-blown rose, and those parts technically called the dolphins consist of angels lying on their backs, in one of those ingenious attitudes assumed by the incompara ble clown, Mr. Charlton, who is at present delighting the good folks of this town. Alongside of this curious and per fect piece of ordnance was found an iron gun of the very rudest description, made out of bars hooped round—and, what is still more remarkable, a granite shot, rather larger than -a 32-pounder ! It is very strange to observe the ex tremes of the art thus lying side by side for more than three centuries.—Hampshire Telegraph. VARIETIES OF FLOWERS.—There are dispersed over the surface of the globe upwards of 40,000 distinct species of plants which bear flowers ; and fro m th e num b er oT new spe cies which have, in comparatively recent times, rewarded the labours of collectors, we cannot suppose that the entire num ber, or any thing approaching to it, is yet known to those best skilled in plants. The vast number of flower-producing vegetables is variously distributed over the globe, in different regions, according to its several latitudes, climates, and char acter of soil. In this respect the usual estimate is that there are upwards of 13,000 flowering plants, natives of the inter tropical parts of America, and considerably more than 5000 in tropical Africa. In Australasia and the numerous islands with which the wide expanse of the Padtc is studded, either within the tropics or not very far without them, there are about 5000 species already known, though some of the largest and most tropical of those islands have been but imperfectly explored. Temperate America, in both hemispheres, con tains about 4000 ; temperate Asia, about 2000 ; and Europe, which lies wholly within the temperate zone, contains at least 7000 distinct species of plants which bear flowers.—The Florist's Journal. MARINE SHELLS. — There are few situations on the sea coasts which do not produce some speCies of shells. The lowest ebb of the tide is the best time for searching for them. The rocks, corals, and stones which are then left exposed should be carefully examined for tritons, limpets, sea-shells, and other adhesive tribes, which are fixed upon the surface or shelter themselves in the crevices ; they are detached by suddenly passing a knife between them and the substance they are on. Muscles and other gregarious bivales furnished byssus, likewise occur in such situations. Wherever the rock, mud, or sand is pierced with round holes, the collector may be tolerably sure of finding bivales; they are procured either by breaking the rock with a hammer or digging deep into the sand or mud with a spade. The little puddles of salt water left by the tide are the habitations of many univalve shells, and others will be found beneath loose stones and sea-weeds. If any shells appear to have been recently cast upon the beach, and are not broken, they may be collected. After a gale of wind or violent storm, the shore should be immediately visited, as fine shells are frequently to be met with ; if the line of coast is extensive, a few boys should be engaged to assist in the search. This must be done quickly, for it not unfrequently happens that the next flow of the tide takes away every shell. Small islands and coral reefs are generally very rich in shells.—Swainson's Taxidermy. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT AND Loss OF LIFE AT SEA. — By the Arabian, Captain Bankier, arrived in this port on Sunday, from Launceston, New South Wales, we have the particulars of the following distressing accident which oc curred to her at sea. She left Launceston in the latter end of April, and on the 13th of May, having been out a fort night, she was about 300 miles to the east of New Zealand, in lat. 48, S. long. 175, W. Just at break of day a sudden squall came on, and a tremendous sea swept over the ship, forcing in her bulwarks and carrying off her wheel, with the man at the helm, and the round house on deck, in which the passengers and part of the crew slept. In one moment eleven human beings were swept into eternity ! No arm could be stretched to save them—no assistance by any possibility could be rendered. In an instant, in the twinkling of an eye, the whole were whelmed i n th e midst of the rollin g billows, and nothing was heard but the hoarse roar of the remorseless waves as they swept past with their victims. Several others of the seamen had narrow escapes. One man was caught by the spindle of the wheel as the waves were hurrying him across the deck, and another was driven with great force against the sides of the ship. A large quantity of the stores of the ship were also lost. The names of the unfortunate sufferers are Henry Miles, the second mate ; Dirk Vander son, the carp en t er; J o h n M'B r id e s eaman ; and Al f red Skelton, apprenti ce . Of the passengers, Mrs. Young husband, and her three daughters, all young girls about six or seven year s o f age ; an d M rs. M at h ews and two children were lost. Mrs. Mathews had another child with her on board, an interesting, intelligent little boy, about six years of age, who was providentially saved. The little fellow had been taken by one of the sailors into his berth, and thus escaped destruction. Mrs. Mathews was a widow lady, and was on her return to her friends in England. Her husband, who was a coach-builder in Launceston, died suddenly a short time before. All now left of the family is the poor little boy, but he is not left alone, for with the generosity which characterizes the British sailor, there is not a man on board the Arabian, from the captain to the seaman before the mast, who does not feel a deep interest in the boy's welfare, and who would not willingly ' endure any privation rather than see him want. The orphan boy has met with kind and hu mane friends. Mrs. Younghusband and her three daughters were also on their return to their friends in this country — friends they were doomed never more to see. It speaks highly for the skill of Captain Bankier, and the undaunted courage and perseverance of his crew, that short of hands, as the accident had left them, they baffled the storm, and brought their vessel through a very long voyage safe to harbour. This could only have been effected by the most strenuous and unwearied efforts, and well deserves, and we trust will obtain, the reward they so richly merit.—. Bristol paper. The Midland Counties railway when complete at all points, will cost very little more than £25,000 per mile. On Friday last, a young man named Edward Nulty, acci dentally tell down the shaft at Duke-pit, near Whitehaven, and was killed on the spot. The quantity of foreign grain now bonded at Hull is as large as has been known at any period. Of wheat alone there is at least 100,000 quarters. The carpenters and joiners of Carlisle have struck, in con sequence of the masters refusing to comply with their de mand, that they should be allowed to leave off work at four o'clock on Saturdays, as the masons do. There are four candidates for the coronership just created by act of parliament, of the Stockport and Hyde division of the county of Chester—two of whom are solicitors and two surgeons Mr. Baker, the mayor of Stockport, and Sir Ralph Pen dlebury (on whom the honour of kni g hthood was conferred for his services against the chartists,) have been appointed magistrates of the borough of Stockport by the Secretary of State. Such is the state of the Wellington Road, since the open ing of the railway from Stockport to Manchester. that large patches of grass may be seen growing upon it. Previous to the opening of the railway no road in England had more passengers upon it than this. Lord John Russell has declined an invitation to dine with the Jdinburgh whigs, on the ground that the present posture of public affairs requires his constant attendance in. London. A poor woman, named Vincent, who is 85 years of age, residing at'St. John's Common, has recently come into the unexpected possession of XB,OOO, being a legacy bequeathed to her by a relative. She had for many years subsisted chiefly on charity ; but she now talks of taking a farrn ; Brighton Gazette. Trust' BULL.—At one of Mr. O'Connell's repeal meetings held in Dublin, a worthy and substantial citizen, occupied the chair. In the course of his speech, alluding to the sub ject which had brought them together, he declared he had been for five and forty years mad about it ; in other words, he was a repealer five years before the Union ! TIIE MURDER AT PEOVER.—Thursday's Hue and Cry contains an offer of reward of £lOO for the discovery of the perpetrators of the murder of Mr. Joseph Cook and his wife at Over Peover, in the county of Chester, who, on the night of Monday, the 24th August, were, between the hours of ten and eleven o'clock, cruelly murdered in their own house, by their heads being fractured by an axe. Last week a man named Peckett, aged 62, woodreeve to Lord Gage, met his ,death under the most melancholy circum stances. The poor old man, being anxious to give his young master and mistress a joyful salute on their wedding-day, placed a cannon In the Plashet, and fired it off ; but having unfortunately overloaded it, the cannon burst, and a portion of it shattered his skull. He died instantly. CAUTION. TO NURSES. —Last Wednesday, afternoon, as a girl named Clark, with a child in her fir ms itbout two years old, was witnessing Batty's collection of wild beasts, exhibit ing at the Cattle market, Bath, she incautiously approached too near one of the cages containing a leopard. The animal caught at her clothes, and on the girl turning round it grasped the child's face near the eye, lacerating it in a fright ful manner, and making several indentations with its teeth about the jaw and neck. The poor little creature was taken to the United Hospital, but it was found to be so dreadfully injured that recovery is hopeless. There are at present, says the Limerick Standard, two gen tlemen occupying a respectable position in this county, who are so strikingly similar in their appearance, that the parties themselves, who are on terms of the closest friendship, not unfrequently play off jokes at the expense of each other. Their names are Bernard O'Flaherty, Esq., of Lisdona, and. Robert Bodkin, Esq., of Annaugh ; so perfect is their resem blance as to height, .figure, complexion, and dress, that the brother of one gentleman has been known to declare that he could not distinguish between them, had not his relation a peculiar rotatory motion about his eyes which the other had not. PROTESTANT MEETING AT SHEFFIELD.—The monthly meeting of the Protestant Operative Association brought amongst us an old and tried friend of the people of Sheffield, the Rev. T. D. Gregg, chaplain of St. Nicholas-within, Dublin. The announcement that he would deliver an ad dress on the subject of national religion, drew together a most crowded meeting, to the largest room of this town; the chapel in Rockingham -street ; it was filled on Monday even ing in every part. There could not have been less than 2000 persons present, amongst whom were many of our local clergy, of the Wesleyan ministers, and of the most respec table inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood._ James Creswick, Esq., was called to the chair, and introduced Mr. Gregg, who addressed the meeting for three hours and a half.—She f field Mercury. FRACAS EXTRAORDINARY---HORSEWITIPPING.--011 Wednesday evening last, a respectable lady of this city was walking on the Military Path, near the New Barracks, ac companied by nurse and child, when a military man in the medical department approached her, and, impertinently lift ing her veil, made use of sonic insulting and indelicate lan guage. The lady, of course, indignant at this disgraceful and womanly conduct, reported the matter to her husband. This injured gentleman, together with his brother, went to de linquent's house in W—m street, where he belaboured the offender with a horsewhip purchased for the occasion. After the wholesome thrashing, the delinquent son of Mars made a most abject apology, and requested to have the circumstance buried in oblivion—a recommendation which, as a matter of business, we, of course, attend to.—Limerick Reporter. MR. O'CONNELL'S LOYALTY.—At the Corn Exchange meeting on Monday, O'Connell, while speculating on the probability of repeal being opposed by the present ministry, thus menaced the British monarchy :—" There are 80,000 of Irishmen in Manchester, there are 90,000 Irishmen in Li verpool, and there are upwards of 200,000 Irishmen in Lon don. There is not a town or city throughout the land that has not multitudinous classes of our fellow-countrymen, who are all ready to assist and support one another ; and if the homesteads and the villages of Ireland were exposed to the destruction of a riotous soldiery—for instance, if the Russian despot lent his troops to England for the purpose of putting down the popular movement in Ireland—who shall see what frightful revenge might not be taken by our fellow-citizens in England for the persecution of their friends on this side of the water, and in what, fearful manner her proudest cities might be made to su f fer for her cruelty to Ireland 1" THE REV. Hoots STOWELL AND THE OPERATIVES OF FINSBURY.—The operatives of the borough of Finsbury held a meeting on Wednesday last, and unanimously agreed to the following resolution :—" That the secretary, of the Finsbury Operative Protestant Association 'be requested to forward to the Rev. Hugh Stowell, of Manchester, an ex pression of the cordial Christian sympathy of this meeting, and assure him that the recent legal proceedings carried on against him by the Popish party only endear him more than ever to their affectionate regards ; and they earnestly pray that such proceedings, so far from stopping his mouth in boldly and fearlessly exposing the anti-Christian, anti-social, and superstitious tenets and practices of the apostate church of Rome, will only serve as a fresh stimulant to the zeal and ardour with which he has so successfully and valiantly con tended for the truth, and that he will go forward in the strength of our God and Saviour with redoubled energy and vigour, and prosecute with increased success his important Christian labours in the service of his country and his God." LOAN SOCIETIES.—One of the most useful practical adts of parliament passed during the last session of parliament, for bettering the condition of the industrious classes, was that of 3d and 4th Victoria, cap. 100, for enabling the more wealthy classes to lend small sums, not exceeding £l5, to deserving persons on personal security. The good these so cieties can do is extraordinary, under judicious management, for they not only allow surplus capital to be employed in our immediate neighbourhoods, advantageously to the lender, but they assist to elevate the industrious poor to a state of trading independence and comfort. The establishment of one •of these useful societies in every populous town in the kingdom is worthy the attention of the benevolent, the legWature having carefully provided against any unjust or unworthy ap plication of this boon ; whilst it gives sufficient protection and security for the recovery of the sums lent, it also wisely allows them to charge sufficient interest to ehable them to be " self-supporting institutions, so as to recover the risk and expense of management, as well as to pay fair interest for the money subscribed to form its capital. PENANCEA STORY OF LOCH DERG.—TO the Editor of tit* Times.—Siy,—.Having read in your paper the account of the recent trial at Liverpool, I thought the following cir cumstances, of which I was a witness, would not be unac ceptable to your readers. One day while I was in Ireland I went with a party, made up by the gentleman at whose house I was staying, to visit Loch Derg, a noted station to which pilgrims resort for confession and penance. I there saw a poor wretched woman doing penance on her bare knees upon the sharp stones, so that the blood streamed from her knees and legs and feet. This I was told was no uncommon case. Hard by I beheld another won - .an in the act of confessing to a priest, who was laughing very heartily, apparently at the ludicrous details she poured into his ear. In the same ferry boat with ourselves, both going and returning, was a young woman of whom, on our return, our host asked, how it was she was so soon back without performing any penance. She replied that it was because she could afford to pay the priest. I can easily believe that John O'Hara attempted to act in a similar way at Manchester to what the poor woman did whom I saw at Loch Derg. Who imposed the penance in either case I will not pretend to say.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, F. E. D. FATAL ACCIDENT FROM FOUL AIR.—A distressing occur rence took place in Manchester last week, by which two men lost their.lives. Messrs. Sharp, Roberts ' and Co., en g i neers and machine-makers, were sinking a w e ll on their premises, in Great Bridgewater-street, and the work had proceeded to the depth of twenty-five feet. The well-sinker, Hugh Wil liams, descended into the well, with his tools, about half-past six on Wednesday morning, to commence work. He had only just got to the bottom, and deposited his tools, when he gave the signal to be hauled up again. The man at the wind lass obeyed, but, before he had raised him far, perceived that he had lost hold of the rope with his arms, and was hanging in the sling by his legs, with his head downward. The man, not conceiving what was the matter, and - fearing that he would fall out, immediately lowered him down again : and some of the workmen having come out of the smithy, one of the strikers, named William Daly, insisted on going down the rope to the assistance of the man at the bottom. He slided down, and was in the act of fastening the rope about Williams, when it was observed that he suddenly fell with his head against the side of the pit, and they both lay together. It was only then that it was conjectured what was the true na ture of the accident ; and the most prompt means were used to exhaust the well of the carbonic acid gas ; it was, however, half an hour before the unfortunate men could be extricated, and they were then, of course, quite dead. It was ascer tained that the soil, for about eighteen feet in depth, was clay, two or two and a half feet sand, and the rest the red sandstone rock. ESCAPE OF ONE OF THE WIGAN MURDERERS.—Four persons were in custody at Wigan, charged with the murder of John Coulton. After the examination, three of the pri soners were placed in three sparate cells or strongholds ; and there being no other similar place of durance for the remain ing prisoner, it was thought expedient to handcuff him, and place him, with chains on his legs, in the Town-hall of Wigan —the chains being made fast to an iron bar, or stuncheon. It appears that, thus placed apparently beyond the probability of rescue or escape, he was left, but without that guardianship that makes security doubly sure ; for it was found in the morning that he had by some means got rid of his manacles —that the chains were filed off from his leg s, leaving th e fine, rings round his an c l es , an d th a t, in he had escaped ! He had been enabled, it appears, to take his departure about half-past one in the morning. It was further discovered that he had taken with him a suit of clothes that were in the room, and in which he would doubtless have arrayed himself on the first opportunity ; but beingseen by a watchman and pursued, he dropped that booty, and got clear away from his less nimble pursuer before an effectual,alium could be raised. He lias not since been traced, but active exertions are being made to find him. A bill announcing his escape, and offering a reward for his apprehension, states that his name is Robert Anderton, and thus describes him :—" He stands about 5 feet 9 or 10 inches, his complexion is dark, he has brown eyes, brown hair, high forehead, bald head, thin face, whiskers shaved, and appears to be about 45 years of age. When he escaped he had the ring of a leg lock on the right leg, and his right wrist will bear marks from the hand-cuffs. He was dressed in an old black coat, old black trowsers, check shirt, no waistcoat, 4 or 5-hole laced shoes, and an old black hat, slouched. His voice is very weak, and he speaks slow and drawling."—Mr. Heron and Mr. Acton, two magistrates, have privately examined the two policemen, who were in charge of the hall at the time, since which they have informed Knowles, the man in whose custody he was, that it was ne cessary, from the mysterious circumstances attending the oc currence, tbat he should consider himself in custody.

Another insurrection has broken out in Spain, the particulars of which will be found In another column. Disturbances of a serious character have also taken place at Paris, among the working classes. The riots had proceeded to such a height on Thursday last, that it was found necessary to call not the regular troops. A number of the combinatory' who were assembled in the Plain of St. Denis, wer e charged on that day by a squadron of dragoons, ana dispersed. Upwards of 600 of them were taken pry goners and lodged in the Conciergerie, where the) passed the night; but the next morning most of there were set at liberty. From the examination of some of the chiefs, it would appear that the secret societies were at the bottom of the whole affair. Some of the prisoners, on being searched, were found to posses ° large sums of money. In the pockets of others wer e discovered cards entitling the bearers to bread, meat' or a meal. It was strongly suspected that the repoir licans were active in fomenting or encouraging th e revolt. It was considered unsafe to call out the NV tional Guards for the purpose of suppressing the dis' turbances. It was calculated that the actual n umber of men in the coalesced tribes was not short of 40,00°' This number was likely, in a day or two, to receive considerable accessions. Various rumours were in circulation in Paris respecting the origin of these riots of the " Coalesced Workmen." According to on e account, a plot was formed for delivering Louis NW' leon from the Conciergerie; another said that Russian agents were distributing gold for the purpose of er e " ating a revolution ; while a third attributed the plot in Lord Palmeiston. The news from Portugal i s a lso t a gloomy character. The Gth regiment of infantry, i n garrison at Castello Branco, had revolted and declare l for the constitution of .1832, and for the overthrow the existing ministry. The country was in a very (lir organised state We have very little to add respecting the Eith tcrn question. The news of the rejection_ by Mehemet a 4 of the terms proposed by the four allied powers h s : been confirmed. He has declared th a t h e w ill n ot yield a single inch of ground. It now remains to be. seen whether he will take any ulterior steps ever may be the issue, we sincerely trust that the de whot• signs of Russia will be frustrated The repeal agitation is proceeding in Ireland wi ll ' fearful success. Seven Popish Bishops have alreat l Y given in their adhesion to Mr. O'Connell, and becO le members of his traitorous association. Such an er ample cannot fail to swell the ranks of the Repeater s ' who are every day become more numerous. The language made use of at the meeting of. the Repeal Association is of the most violent, inflauno r tory, threatening, and, frequently, blasphemous eh r racter. Under the latter denomination we must clad such expressions as the following, which w ere uttere d by a Mr. John Reilly, at a meeting which was held ° a ° Wednesday last :—" They (the Irish people) h a , nothing now to depend upon hut Heaven, O'Conne l " and their own exertions." This blasphemous dec l°; ration, associating such a v il e wretc h as O'Connell with Providence it se lf, was respon d e d to w i t h " I°llj cheers." But it was followed by something still w orse' if possible„ The same s p ea k er sa id t h at " t hi s o' 3 an ominous year to oppose repeal. The Israelites we re forty years in the land of bandaye, and were led out I) ! Moses. They, too, had a Moses—O'Connell—to ° , e ; their pillar of fire by night, and their cloud by doP thus, with daring impiety comparing the filthy dew , , gogue, reeking with the grossest and most sensu r l vices, to the Omnipotent Leader of th e I sr aelite fle Again, this blasphemous wretch exclaims, (O'Connell) was superior, politically speaking, t° Moses, for in his faith he never doubted, and Heav ell f would bless him by allowing him to enter the land °, promise, and enjoy the regeneration of his county)'' We might quote much mo re t o th e same effect, but ive relinquish the disgusting .task. What are we to thi nk of the brazen audacity of the man who could l' e3 such language applied to him without a word of clanaation ? One of the most prominent features in the speec lie : delivered at the Repeal meeting in Ireland is, the 01 ; form denunciation o f th e I mper i al Parl i ament as foreign legislature," an d o f t h e E ng li s h nation a s , kt.e "foreign oppressors." Thus,- forinstance, the sPea whose words we have quo t e d a b ove , sa id that P demanded hiS rights, for he would not beg them fro ° a foreign legislature." The meaning of this languag e is too obvious to deceive any one. Its tendency ' 5 equally dangerous. If the same language were ployed by the miners and mountaineers of Wales- 311 they have just as much right to employ it as o' o3l/ , ; nell and his traitor gang h ave — we s h ou ld soon hear of police spies being sent to select victims for whf vengeance, and of troops bei ng di s p a t c h e d t o " the rebels," and to bring them to justice. But wha t would be treason in Wales is openly connived at br the executive government in Ireland. What are we tt : infer from this ? Is Lord Ebrington a Repeal er. The Popish journals do not hesitate to claim his col; tenance and patro nage . H e has n o t ta k en a sinb step indicative of his disapproval of the Repeal agit a; tion. Ho w i s suc h con d uc t t o b e reconc il e d w ith h is oath of office? How are we to per s u a d e o urselv e ; that Lord Ebrington is dischargin g ' his duty as a loy al subject of the British crown ? If an y " un tower j event" should result from the present movement 10 Ireland, Lord Ebrington will have a fearful account t e render. Impeachment for high treason will be 311 least reward that he can expect. Lord M e lb ourn e an tl his associates must also look forward to the day 0 1 re ; tribution. Their patronage of O'Connell a nd 111 brother conspirators may yet form the ground of °II impeachment. We have called O'Connell a traitor. Ills langt 4e f justifies the application of th e t erm . The gran d end ° his agitation is, rebellion an d di smem b erment of lb o empire. This is evident from his frequent and sig nr ficant allusions to the millions of able bodied MAO l ' ► panting for liberty--to the example of America, ill ti ' assertion of her ind e p en d en ce, and th a t o f B e l g iuol' lo rejecting the " yok e imposed upon h er b y Holland ' '
