Upton, Esq., of Inginire•hall, near Sedbergh, put into his lake, Lilley M ere, near the reservoir, some char from Windermere, each weigh ing about half a pound ; and on the 23d ult. Banat - two with the fly, full two pounds weight each, in the fulle s t p oss ib le season, well fed and beautifully coloured. The above fine specimens of this fish (rarely caught at this season of the year), was served at the Queen Dowager's table, at the Rose and Crown Hotel, Kirkby Lonsdale, by Miss Roper, on that (W.—Carlisle Patriot. We have occasion to know that Lord Durham entertained no hopes of his recovery from the time he was in Dover.— Morning Chronicle. A noticc.has been issued by the Post-office, cautioning the public not to trust the conveyance of sovereigns and half sovereigns in letters. RAILROAD IMPOSTS.—No less than 140 known thieves arrived at Soutliamtiton by one of the luggage trains, on the day previous to the late races. One of the vacant escutcheons in St. George's-hall (Wind sor) has just been emblazoned with the armorial ensigns of Prince Albert, as one of the knights of the most noble order of the garter. Mr. O'Connell's present attempt to met up a repeal of the support from outcry in Ireland i s meet i ng w i t h li ttle or no from the public. As yet no persons of rank or influence, with perhaps a solitary exception, have joined the hon. gen tleman.—Gorernment Paper. It is reported that ministers are making great overtures to the Duke of Beaufort, to induce his grace to desert his party, and join the whigs. A garter for himself, and a place at court for the duchess, are said to be at the duke's command.

This season the produce has amounted to 1;00,000 lbs., and the making is not yet at an end. All the produce is /armed by aM. itigal, of Mont pellier, who employs 92 persons, 80 of whom are women. STATE OF TRADE.—It is with great pleasure we perceive that, whilst most other places are suffering from a depression of trade, there appears to be a revival in Bristol. Scarcely a week now passes withont the exportation of a large quantity of goods 14anufactured in this city.—Stockport Advertiser. SIGNS Ole Tt U TIMES.—It is stated that Messrs. Ilawes and D'Eyncourt, the present representatives for the borough of Lambeth, have received a notice from a considerable num ber of their most influential supporters that after the present parliament their services will be no longer required. LEEDS TOWN CV' is, perhaps, worthy of remark, that of the.sixteen councillors first elected, and who went out of office in November, 1836, not one now remains a council lor t • Messrs. Hubbard and Ga un t h av i ng b een p i tc h forked, us aldermen, after ri.jection by their previous constituents ! DESTRUCTION OF INSECTS BY CAMOMILE.—In the Irish Gal dcner'S Magazine it is stated, that not only decoctions of the leaves of the Camomile will destroy insects but that no thing contributes so much to the health of a garden as a num ber of Camomile plants dispersed through it. A person called- upon a comb-maker, who was then at work, to let him know that he was drawn for the militia. " I don't care," answered the comb-maker, 4-trn too young for the scrvi!.e." " Too young, and about thirty ! what do you mean ?" " No. matter for that," rejoined the comb maker, " I can prove that I am cuttiva my teeth." An erroneous impression exists that the plague continues its virulence in Egypt ; but we have authority for stating that the 24th of June last was kept as a day of rejoicing and glad ness in Egypt, on account of its almost total disappearance. Since that date it is, no doubt, completely exti nc t, an d tra vellers in Egypt need apprehend.no interruption to the jour neys which they may have had in view. SPOLTING EXTRAORDINART.—A match of cricket was played at Rallinasloe, on Wethsestlay, between the teeNtal lers and the whisky drinkers, which caused considerable amusement. The temperance men mustered strong, and were batsikd by Lord Clancarthy and Admiral Trench. After a well-contested game, the patrons of the mountain dew won the match by 35, and celebrated their victory in the evening by illuminating their hoses, making bonfires, &c., m uc h,t o the discomfiture of the Mathewites, who fought a hard battle. —lrish paper. THE QUREN AND WENTWORTH HOUSE.—There is no truth which the papers have been indulging in, that great preparations are snaking at Wentworth House, previous to the visit of the Queen and Prince Albert at that place, which is to be shortly. Its true that the kitchen and the butler's pantry have had a dab with the brush, and a few other touches of annual cleaning has taken place. The fact is the good Queen Dowager happened to be in the neighbourhood at the time this Sheffield paragraph was hatched to turn the public attention to another quarter.—Leede latellipencer. A gentleman was lately swallow shooting in the neighbour hood of Aberystwith, when he observed a kite high in the air, with something in her talons, from which she seemed to be endeavouring to disengage herself. The bird was far be yond the range of the fowling-piece, so he contented himself with watching her movements. Presently she rapidly de scended, when he fired and brought her down. On going up to the bird, he was surprised to find that he had killed a weasal as well as a kite. The kite, it seems, in her voraci ous search for prey, had snatched up the weasel, which, however, instantly seized the kite by the breast, and whilst in the air had kept its grasp so furiously, as is well known this little animal. will do, that it had eaten a hole into the body of,thc kite, which must have been fatal, if she hid not been hit by the shot from the gun.—HerejOrd Times. New Mona or ALARM.—AD excellent signal for the pro tection of houses. gardens, and game preserves has been in vented by Isaac Naylor, of Wentworth, near Barnsley. It is called " an alarm gun," though partaking nothing of the form or use of the gun, and can he attached, without being seen, to a window or tree, or gate, for the defence'nf a house, garden, and park or field. The apparatus is only a few inches in length, and to a weight is attached a long fine cord, which, being forced by the intruder, draws the weight off a peg, and a number of barrels, according to size, explode at half-minute time, loud enough to alarm a whole neighbour hood. No fear need be entertained to the apparatutboing exposed to the rain, as it is perf ec tly wa t er -ti g h t, and from our own observation of it, we have no hesitation in saying that it is calculated to answer all the purposes intended by the ingenious inventor. We understand that the new clothing of Prince Albert's • llnssars is to be as follows :—Blue dress jacket ; pelisse, also. blue with fur cuffs and collars ; trowsers crimson with yellow stripes ; undress jacket, blue : the burby or fur cap of seal skin ; the horse to be covered with a crimson labraque, orna mented with German silver. The clothing for four troops is complete ; and the contractor has engaged to complete his contract by the 15th of next month. About 25 men are em ployed at our barracks, and the remainder in London, to complete the order. As we have before stated, there is no doubt that Prince Albert will review the regiment here, im mediately after the soldiers are equipped in their new regi mentals. His Royal Highness has only seen as yet one squad ron of the regiment, which escorted him from Canterbury to Sittingbourne, on his arrival in England. It is said that from the circumstance of this being the first regiment which re ceived him on the English shores, and of his Royal Highness being struck with their fine appearance, Prince Albert se lected it as his " Own."—Brighton Gazette. THE ART OF FINE WRITING DISPLAYED.—The Chroni cle, in an article (longer by actual measurement than any or dinary man's arm) upon the inestimable blessings of a whig administration, instead of giving a dry catalogue of them, runs through them with a variety of phrase, which the best puffers of dm day might study with advantage. " What has become of chartism ?" and " look again at Canada!" and " look at the question of national education !" and "is it nothing" to have done this? and " nothing at all" to have done that I This is the true Ciceronian style of keeping alive the reader's attention by rapid and abrupt changes in th e fo rm 'of expression, and pleasing his eye by a judicious confu s io n of notes of admiration and interrogation. There are some readers who might be got through an immense length of this sort of stuff, and really believe that they had pro fitted by it, if they only forgot one thing, and that this, to ask themselves what it was all about. By-the bye, though, the magniloquent allusion to Canada and chartism is Master Thomas Thumb's old trick over again : for if the Whigs did subdue the giant monsters of sedition, privy conspiracy, and rebellion, they certainly made them first. However, our business is with the manner, not the matter of this cunning composition ; and mark how grace fully the writer drops down from his highest flight of inter jection and apostrophe, to a mere Lord Burleigh shake of the head, to intimate that much more had been kept back than let out. "We say nothing of Ireland—we say nothing of our foreign relations—we say nothing of these, and of a thousand other topics on which we might enlarge." How beautifully the noisy overture dies away in a plaintive piano. But the greatest beauty in this fine touch of art is its discre tion. Ireland, our foreign affairs, and " a thousand other topics," are matters which a whig partisan is wise in saying nothing about !—Morning Herald. EXPEDITION TO THE NIGER.—Th e expedition to the Niger, which has been contemplated for some time, has now been finally decided upon, and will leave England for Africa when a sufficient complement of men is obtained, and the stores required for this service is completed. The expedi tion will be under the command of Captain Dundas Trotter, of the Royal Navy ; and three of her Majesty's steam-ves sels will shortly be commissioned by the gallant officer in command, and Comnianders William Allen and Bird Allen. Printed notices are in course of preparation, and will be im mediately issued, requiring petty officers, including artificers of all kinds, well qualified engineers of the Ist and 2d class, and engine drivers or stokers, and the men who apply will in the mean time be entered in the following vessels, which have been ordered to be prepared for their reception :—The Bri tannia, at Portsmouth; the Impregnable, at Plymouth; the William and Mary, at Woolwich; and the Redwing, at Li verpool. As an inducement to join this expedition, double pay will be allowed on leaving England.—Standard. HAIL STORM.—On the afternoon of Friday .i _ week, an un usually heavy fall of hail took place near Cra oi l l i e n e g ; at Inarall field immediately to the westward of the farm Tofts, the hail-stones accumulated to a great depth, and after they began to melt, the water rushed down the declivity with the violence of a torrent, carrying along with it a considerable quantity of the soil across theletrueb • turnpike-road apikee-orohasdidehriatholeapfiGerltdioonf I barley on the opposite side, whereby of the grain was pressed down and covered with clay to a considerable depth. F or some time great difficulty was ex perienced by f o ot-passengers passing th e p l ace, from the ac cumulation of hail-stones, which covered the road at one part to the depth of at least a foot and a half.--Keslo MEDICAL TREATMENT OF CIIOLERA.—That destructive scourge, the cholera, was prevailing to a considerable extent in India by the last accounts; but we rejoice to find that a medical officer in Bombay has discovered a plan of treatment which has proved successful in fourteen cases out offifteen. , The cure is effected thus :--After administering an emetic and copious potations of hot water, the following pills are given, one every quarter of an hour or twenty minutes, or half an hour, according to the urgency of the case :—Aloes, 250 grains ; colocynth-scammony. gamboge, of each 75 grains ; opium, 121 grains ; calomel, 125 grains : these are to be pow dered fine, and thoroughly mixed, and beaten up with 121 grains of hard soap, adding mucilage sufficient to form a hard mass ; add equal quantities of oil of cloves and cajeput, suf ficient to soften the mass, which divide into fifty pills, to be kept for use in close phials. These pills, it must be remem bered, are intended for adults ; for younger persons they are divided, and for children smaller quantities are given, ground down in honey or syrup. The following, from a Calcutta journal, in reference to a discovery of a somewhat similar nature and efficacy to the above 'may not be irrelevant : " The successful use of - the . tincture of henip, for the Intro duction of which we are indebted to the skill and research of Dr. O'Shaugnessy. is a subject worthy of notice. Every discovery of this kind is a new weapon wherewith to strike down the monster disease, and entitles the fabricator to the gratitude of a community at all times exposed to the fierce ness of its assaults." The first instance of a regular advertisement cecurs in No. 7, of the Impartial Intelligencer, which commenced March 1648-9—from a gentleman, at Candish, in Suffolk, respecting i ‘ ii?: 7 n ,h e e h s or i s ey es e w o h L i had clfieid be , e b n y s t t o h l e elt e r r o . tu uk i d at if j , . to HUDDERSFIELD BANKING COMPANY.—On Wednesday the Annual meeting of the shareholders of the Huddersfield Banking Company was held at tbeCourt House, Hudders field; Joseph Brook, Esq. of Greetilteasl, in the chair.

He proposes to have rails laid on each side of the canal or stream, and the axle of a carriage (striding we suppose the canal) to be the axle of a water-wheel having curved paddles like those proposed by M. Poncelet, which the water acting on will drive backwards, and of course force the carriage and its load forward. • THE Weierneu.—Since our last publication there has been a most gratifying change in the weather which has con tinued up to this inoment uninterruptedly tine. The conse quence has been that the hay crop is now generally saved throughout this country, and the farmers are getting amongst the turnips and potatoes. In some places the wheat is par tially injured by mildew, the result of the long continued rains ; but this is compensated by the unusual luxuriance of the corn craps of every deseription.—OarlislePatriot. The.Dulte of Devonshire's grand picture gallery at Chats worth, which was dornmencerl, under the superintendence of the late Sir Jeffry Wyatville, has been just completed. Most of the gems of art from 'Chiswick and Devonshire House arc to be transferred to this gallery. The new con servatory and adjacent offices, now building at Chatsworth, • cover half an acre of ground. STAFFORD, July 30.—Her. Majesty. the Queen Dowager arrived at Stafford to-day. ut half-past one o'clock, by railway, from the north. Mr. Majesty was met at the station by the mayor and corpora : doh. of StatlOrd, and a detachment of the Staffordshire Yeomanry, and passed through the town, amid the acclamations of numerous spectators, on her way to Alton Towers, the seat of Lord Shrewsh ivy. • ROMAN CATHOLIC REPRINTS.—A correspondent com plains of the alterations made in the Roman catholic books reprinted for the use of papists in protestant countries. As a sample of the rest, he gives us a specimen from Dr. Crolly's bible (Belfast, 1835), professing to be a reprint of the Douay edition (1609), in which the following part of a note is omitted :—(Deut. xvii. 8.) "And punishing with death such as proudly refused to obey their decisions.—Birrnineihain Advertiser. A strawberry of extraordinary size was gathered during the present week in the nursery gardens of Mr. John Coudrey, of lidgbaston. The fruit measured eight and a half inches in circumference, and weighed thirty-six pennyweights and twelve grains, It Was gathered before being fully ripe, in consequence of having sustained sonic injury from the damp state of the ground. The strawberry is - a seedling variety raised by Mr. Coudrey.—Birrningharn Herald. NOTICE OF ELECTIONS.—A bill has been introduced into the House of Commons, to remove an ambiguity as to the length of notice to be given, by sheriffs and returning officers, of elections for members of parliament. It was doubtful whether the four days' notice required to be given of an election included or excluded the day of election and the day of proclamation ; the bill declares that there must be four clear days' notice, exclusive both of the days of proclamation and election. SOCIALISM As IT IS.—The community at Queenwood, near Tytherly, are already falling into " the sear and yellow leaf." The public of the surrounding towns and villages have ceased to be excited by the blasphemous and seditious lectures, which only a few months since attracted hundreds on every Sabbath day, to this sink of sin and wickedness. Such is the apathy at the present time that these worthies have been compelled for a time to abandon their Sunday lec turing for want of visitors, and such is their domestic social ity, that their great man and head farmer, Mr. Aldam, has actually quitted through a general quarrel ! So much for the vaunted system where all is peace, love, and harmony.— &list nry Herald. ACCIDENT PROM LIGHTNING.—The parishes of Keighley and Bingley were, on Saturday last, visited with a tremendous thunderstorm. At Micklethwaite, in the latter parish, as a woman of the name of Midgley was occupied in her house near the fire, she was struck. down by the electric fluid, and for some time was rendered nearly insensible ; one side of her face was much scorched, and her tongue so much contracted as to deprive her of the power of s p eec h ; s h e i s, however, gradually recovering. Another woman in an adjoining house partially suffered front the same cause. At East Morton the lightning pet forated the roof of a cottage, but fortunately the residents were absent from home at-the time.—Leeds In teiligencer. TESTIMONY Or RESPECT TO THE REVEAkND THEODORE DORY, LATE RECTOR OP KEIGHLEY.—A "beautiful tea ser vice of silver plate, is now exhibiting in the window of Mr. Hugh Heaton, High-street, Keighley, to be presented to their late worthy Rector, Theodore Dury. The teache rs and scholars of the Church Sunday School were the first to commence this testimonial of respect, and their contributions realised the purchase of a large silver tea caddy, with this in scription—" Presented to the Rev. Theodore Dury, A. M., by the teachers and scholars of the Church Sunday School of Keighley, as a token of respect and gratitude for his un wearied labour amongst them.-27th July, 1840." After wards the parishioners commenced a contribution, and a rich salver with basin, tongs, and tea pots of massy silver, were added to the present, each vessel bearing the following in scription :—" Presented to the Rev. Theodore Dury, A.M., by his attached parishioners, in testimony of their esteentand respect for the faithful discharge of his pastoral duties over them for upwards of 26 years, while Rector of Keighley, in Yorkshire.-27th July, 1840." THE Goonwoon SHIELD.—The shield run for at GOod wood this meeting is from a design by Bozzoni, and is manu factured by Messrs. Storr and , Mortimer, of Bond-street. The weight of it is 500 ounces, and at a moderate estimate of the workmanship it is worth £5OO. It may be truly said " Materiam superabat opus." The diameter of this splendid piece of plate is 52 inches. On it are represented in basso relievo the races described in the 23d book of Homer, amongst the games instituted by Achilles at the funeral of 'Patroclus. The figure of Achilles is. seated. The figures of Agamemnon, Nestor, Idoineneus, Ajax, &c., are all introduced, and above them and the figures Apollo, Minerva, Victory, &c. The prizes for racers are in the foreground, and consist in strict accordance with the Homeric) description of an unbroken mare, a vase and talents, a female slave, a tripod, &c. The whole is executed in a very pure taste, and is full of classic simplicity and vigorous con ception. The details of the- workmanship are peculiarly elaborate, and show to what great perfection the art of em bossing, chasing, and working in the precious metals is brought. A TEETOTAL LECTURER IN TROUT:MIL—O D TaeSday last, a person of the name of Thomas Gooldie, one of Father Ma thew 'e followers, was taken before the magistrates at Hali fax, charged by Rawson, a police-officer, with stealing vari ous articles from the Temperance Hotel at Skipton, amongst which was an umbrella, a square, and a quantity of such tapes as are used by tailors. The officer stated, from infor mation he had received from Skipton, that the prisoner was a person going about from town to town, lecturing on teeto talism, and also occasionally preaching at dissenting chapels that he had been nine days boarding and lodging at the Tem perance Hotel, Skipton, and had decamped, forgetting to discharge his bill of fare, and taking with him the articles before alluded to. The officer requested the magistrate to remand the man until it could be ascertained whether the hotel-keeper at Skipton would prosecute. The prisoner wa:; accordingly remanded for a few days. We understand that since leaving Skipton he had been gulling some of the teeto tal natives at Keighley and Halifax, and from the various charges against hint, an officer from Halifax proceeded to Huddersfield, where he apprehended him, just as he wilt about commencing a lecture upon total abstinence. The umbrella was found upon him, and he acknowledged to have disposed of the tailor's tapes and square at Halifax. REPRESENTATION OF BRADFORD.—A report is abroad that Mr. Cunliffe Lister does not intend again to contest the representation of the borough of Bradford. We have no present means of testing the accuracy of the rumour; but we should not be surprised to find it correct, remembering, as we do, the very ludicrous effect produced by Mr. Lister's last luminous oration in public—that delivered front the win dow of the Bowling Green Inn, at Bradford, in May last year, when the Melbourne Ministry had resigned ; and re membering also Mr. Lister's great liberality in the Man ninglion spade husband r y b us i ness some two years ago. I t i s said that in case the statement should prove to be well founded, the radicals intend to set up for themselvei; and to insist upon the privilege of nominating one candidate for the joint support of whigs and radicals, as the condition of radical support to the whig nominee. A meeting. Of the radical leaders is to be held at the Hope and A nc h or Inn, next Monday, with thi s view . Colonel Perronet Thompson is spoken of as a fit radical candidate.--,Leeds Intelligences. THE REGATTA AT ITAVRE-DE-GRACF.—This regatta, on Monday and Tuesday (open to all the world), terminated in favour of the English crew, who so splendidly carried off the chief prizes at Liverpool and Henley-on-Thames. There were boats of all sorts and sizes in the contest, which was for 1000 francs, and the London crew, consisting of R. Coombe, R. C. Doubledee, J. 13. Doubledee, Robert Newell, and Jens Coombes, were opposed to six and eight-oared cut ters. They towed round their adversaries, and won easily.. THE THAMES TUNNEL.—The whole of the wharfs, build ings, dwelling-houses, sheds, and two public-houses, in High-street, Wapping, which covered an area of about 2110 feet, by 73 in depth, purchased for the formation of the foot way descent into the tunnel, have been entirely removed, and preparations for sinking the shaft on the north shore upon the site of the buildings has already commenced. The wharf will be extended about 21 feet into the river, and wor k men have been for some time employed in pile drawing and form- ing an embankment, on a portion of which the shaft will he formed. The works below are proceeding with great acti vity, and that part of the tunnel already completed is in a very sound state. There is no fear of any further irruptions, as the excavators have approached so near the north shore that the most dangerous portion of their labours can be car ried on when the tide has receded, and there is no water over e them. The Thames tunnel will b e opened for foot-passengers arly next spring. Lava AND SUICIDE. —An inquest was held at Hinckley on Tuesday week, on the body of Catherine Cotton, Who wa s found drowned in the canal. It appeared that the deceased lived in the service of Mr. Granishaw, surgeon, of Hinckley, and had formed a strong attachment to a young man named John Checklend, whose attention towards her had ceased, he having deserted her, and paid his addresses to another female. About three weeks ago the unfortunate young girl sent her faithless lover a letter, upbraiding him with his conduct, and threatening self-destruction unless he returned to her. This letter Checklend subsequently returned to the deceased, and paid no regard to its contents ; consequently, this circum stance produced such a melancholy effect on her mind, that she resolved upon destroying herself, and 'on Sunday night last she weut into the Hinckley wharf-yard, where it is sup posed she threw herself into the canal, and terminated her existence. Her shawl, bonnet, and umbrella, were found by the side of the water, about four o'clock on Mondr ritotaing‘;.... and soon after the body was discovered in the canal crake, cold.—Verdict, " found drowned."—Leicatter .Younich*.t
