THE CUMBERLAND PACQUET is a full-sized paper of eight pages, containing forty-eight columns of closely--printed matter, and its circulation extends throughout the counties of Cumberland, Westmoreland, Lancashire, and Yorkshire, as well as very generally over other parts of the kingdom. As an Advertising medium, this journal cannot be surpassed, being read by the leading gentry, clergy, agricul tural, shipping, and commercial classes of the district in which it is circulated. The number and influence of its sub scribers renders it a most eligible medium for advertisements of estate and other property ; and the commercial community cannot avail themselves of any provincial journal better calcu lated to introduce their announcements to the class of news paper readers whose attention to such advertisements is sought to be obtained. THE MORNING CHRONICLE having, at the clos e of last year, passed into the hands of a new Proprietary, is now conducted under an entirely new management. During nearly a Century THE MORNING CHRONICLE has been the steadfast advocate of Liberal principles and enlightened views ; always ready to support the Statesman whose measures were calculated to promote the general inter ests—never the tool of Party. Faithful to its old creed, considering judicious amelioration to be the best Conservatism, THE MORNING CHRONICLE earnestly supports our venerable Constitution in its essential principles—principles none the less in in their practical efficacy because brought into harmonious concurrence with th genius and tendencies of the age. Every department of this Journal has been remodelled. Its Political Information is derived from unquestionable sources ; and whlist_ it keeps its readers conversant with all important occurrences, political and SiaoialTballit hole - and abroad-the lighter, but not unimportant, claims of Literature and Art are equally represented in its columns. The constant aim of the present Conductors of THE MORN ING CHRONICLE is to make it an organ of influence amongst Statesmen and public men of all denominations; and whilst presenting-a faithful reflex.of the events and feelings of the day, not to lose sight of the permanent interests and prospec tive destinies of society. um!

The intimate connection maintained with the principal places in the counties referred to is manifested by the amount of local intelligence which flows in weekly.

CIVIL SERVICES IN BOMBAY.—Lord Canning has forwarded a minute of Lord Elphinstone recording the services of several civil servants of the Bombay estab lishment during the period of the Indian mutiny. In forwarding the despatch, Lord Canning says :--"• While I entirely concur in the estimate which Lord Elphin stone has formed of the individual services of those who were under the immediate orders of his government, I must observe that to Lord Elphinstone himself, foremost of them and above them all, is our debt of gratitude due. I have long ago expressed my sense of the degree to which India is indebted to the patriotic and unselfish aid which came to us from the Governors of the Cape of Good Hope and of the Mauritius—Sir G. Grey and Sir J. Higginson—and it only remains for me to declare my entire concurrence in all that Lord Elphinstone and his council have said on this head." The names specially mentioned in Lord Elphinstone's despatch for the favourable consideration of her Majesty's Government are those of Mr. J. N. Rose, chief civil officer in Sattara ; Mr. Seton Karr, political agent in the Southern Mahratta country; Major-General Sir H. Roberts, and Brigadier-General Le Grand Jacob, political commissioners in Guzerat and the Southern Mahratta country, whose cases have already "been brought to the notice of her Maesty's Government, and have been appropriately (though in the case of Brigadier-General Jacob inadequately) rewarded with the honours of the second and third class of the Bath ;" Sir Richard Shakespear, political commis sioner ; Majors Merewether and Green, political agents; Captain Walker, superintendent of police at Tanna ; Major Montgomery, lieutenant of police at Shikar poor when the Native Artillery at that station mutinied; Lieutenant Naylor, lieutenant of police at Hyderabad ; Captain Graham ; Captain Buckle, assistant political agent in the Rewa Santa ; Commodore Wellesley, C. 8., commander-in-chief of the Indian Navy ; Lieu-; tenants Chitty and Sweeney, of the Indian navy Captain Jenkins, C. 8., Colonel Davidson, commissary- Ceneral ; Major Kane; Major Taylor, of the second avalry ; Captain Birch, Candeish Bheel Corps. After mentioning the invaluable assistance_ received from his hon. colleagues, including Mr. Lumsden, who has since left the service, his lordship specially recom mends to the favourable - consideration of her Majesty's Government the services of Mr. H. L. Anderson, secretary in the political, secret, and judicial departments. In concluding the minute, attention is drawn to the services rendered by some high officers unconnected with the presidency, more especially the governors of the Mauritius and •the Cape—Sir James Higginson and Sir George Grey, the latter of whom, to meet the demand for trained and serviceable horses, actually sent his own 'carriage horses to make, up . the number required.

The company—amounting to upwards of 300— began to arrive about nine o'clock, and continued to do so till nearly eleven o'clock. NORTHERN DAILY TIMES LIVERPOOL HISTORIC SOCIETY. The usual weekly meeting of the above society, was held in the rooms set apart for that purpose in St. George's-hall, on Thursday night. The meeting was very well attended by its members; and James Steains, Esq., was unanimously called upon to preside. The minutes of the last meeting were then read by the secretary, and confirmed; after which the following new members were unanimously elected :—W. J. Legh, Esq., M.r. ; P. B. Ainslie, Esq., F.S.A. Scotland, Guildford, Surrey; H. R. Callender, jun., Esq., Banff house, Rusholme, Manchester ; John Elliott Hodgkin, Esq., Hayman's Green, West Derby ; John Marsh, Esq., St. Helen's ; Rev. T. H. Thicknesse, Deane Vicarage, Bolton. The following donations were then presented to the society The Wars from 1783 to 1795," by Sir E. Oust, Major-General in the army, and president of the society, " Bulletin de la Societe Archeologique de 1' Orleannois," " The Tree of Commonwealth," and the "Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ire land," all literary gems in themselves. The last named donation was the seventeenth number and first part of the work referred to, and contained seven parts in all, which had been read and presented to the society. Dr. Hume exhibited photographic portraits of historic characters in England and Scotland. TKOs. DAWSON, Esq., exhibited books printed. in Liverpool, as follows :—A Sermon preached in the Old Church on behalf of the Public Infirmary, in 1750 ; an English Grammar, printed in 1765 ; Translation of Horace, by Dr. Green, 1777 ; Catalogue of the Works of Rembrandt, 1796 ; Laws of the Athenseam, 1799 ; An Address at the Botanic Gardens, 1802; and, A. Com panion to Liverpool Museum, 1807. Mr. HENRY GERARD also exhibited Poliphili Hypuer atomachia, with numerous illustrations, in 1467. Mr. SMITH then proceeded to read a paper, which was of a most interesting nature, and displayed deep and studied research ; after which the thanks of the meeting were unanimously accorded to him. The fol lowing is a digest :—" Description of the coins, seals, and pilgrims' signs found upon the sea-shore of Cheshire," being a contribution towards the forthcoming work upon the antiquities of that locality by the Rev. Dr. Hume. The coins, exclusive of those of more modern date than William 111., number above 300, and, like the miscellaneous relics found on this singular coast, comprise representatives of every epoch of our country's history, from the ancient British downwards. The Roman series is numerous, commencing with the Emperor Claudius, A.D. 41-54, and numbers 53 coins, the most interesting being a second (brass) of Antoninus Pius, having upon the reverse, Britannia per sonified seated upon a rock ; it was found in the spring of the present . year. The Saxon examples are in the best state of preservation, and include no less than seven of Canute the Great and his cotemporary Ethelred the Unready. The English series numbers nearly 250 pieces, chiefly of the reigns of Henry 111. and the two first Edwards, from which we may infer that these were the palmy days of the seaport settlement once existing here, but whose site is now ravaged by the encroaching tides. The seals are mostly referable to the 13-14th century—an early date, and the personal ones in each case have belonged to individuals of distinction, but of whom we know nothing in addition to what these little memorials supply, their names being absent from the several pedigrees of their well-known families. Such are John de O'Secott, Amabel de Lathom, and William de Meles, the families of the two latter formerly owning the adjacent properties. The pilgrims' signs are very limited in number. One of these is only a fragment ; but enough remains to identify it as brought from a once celebrated shrine in the middle of the ancient province of Quercy in France, where, perched upon the top of a high and isolated rock, the hermit St. Amadour, in early times, built himself a cell. The hermitage, subsequently converted into a chapel of the Virgin, became a favourite resort for pilgrims from all parts of Christendom, including many royal personages, and the discovery of one of its ampulloe (or leaden signs worn on the hat) in our neighbourhood, Proves the diffusion of its fame. Mr. Smith exhibited a number of casts and impressions of the more interesting of the coins and seals, several valuable examples of Roman fibulce, and a bottle, showing the disposition of the several strata, natural and artificial, at the chief antiquarian site. " The Chimeras," part Ist, was also read, Sir E. Cast being its author. The second part will be read on next Thursday evening. The Civaitmair said he would call upon Dr. Hume to address himself to Mr. Smith's paper, and entertain the meeting with some practical observations on that head. The able and talented doctor then went into a clear and able exposition of the antiquities found on the Cheshire sea coast, and complimented Mr. Smith on the great pains and labour he had gone co in searching after these antiquities ; as well also for the valuable and learned production which the members of the society had just listened to with so much benefit. Afterithe transaction of some other business of minor note, thanks were voted to the Chairman, and the meet ing separated. -- - LORD CLYDE AND THE 93RD HIGHLANDERS.—LOrd Clyde arrived at Sabathoo on the 7th October to see his , own reoiment the 93rd Highlanders'. After minutely . inspecting the regiment, his lordship addressed the non commissioned officers and men. He told them he was much gratified'to see the high state of discipline they I were. in after all they had gone through ; praised them for their cleanliness, general appearance,' steadiness under arms, and their good behaviour in quarters ; and concluded by thanking Colonel Leith Hay' for the order he had his regiMent in. His lordship dined at mess after Wards, and made 'a farewell speech, telling then). to study;' as' war: had become so much of a science now, and that it was not necessary for' officers, " as of old," to lead, On their' Men with 'swords waving, 84.; blit direct them; and finished by saying, he would inform her Majesty and the Commander-in-Chief of the ; perfect state of discipline his' regiment was in,''and hoped soon to s ee it ranee more at home.

SAVING LIFE FROM SHIPWRECK.. A meeting of the Royal National Life-boat Institution was held on Thursday, at its house, John-street, Adelphi, Thomas Chapman, Esq., F.R.S., in the chair. The silver medal of the Institution was presented respectively to R. Hook, R. Butcher, F. Smith, W. Rose, J. Butcher, A. Mewse, T. Liffen, and N. Colby, and £l9 to themselves and other men, for their general gallant services in saving lives in the Lowestoft life-boat, which is in connection with the National Life-boat In stitution, but particularly for rescuing the crew, con sisting of 14 men, of the steamer Shamrock, of Dublin, which, during a heavy gale of wind, was wrecked on the Holm Sand on the Ist ult. This was an unusually gallant rescue, and had it not been for the timely arrival and ex traordinary exertions of the life-boat's crew, every one of thesteamer's hands would in all probability have perished. A reward of £9 10s. was also voted for the crew of the same life-boat for their services in putting off in her and rescuing the crew of five men of the schooner Lord Douglas, of Dundee, which, during a heavy gale of wind, parted from her anchors and drove on Corton Beach on the morning of the 26th ult. Also a reward l`of £9 10s. to the crew of the same life-boat, for subse quently saving, in the afternoon of the same day, the crew of four men of the schooner Silva, of Glasgow, which was also totally wrecked on Corton Beach during the heavy gale of that day. The silver medal of the institution was voted to Lieut. The Hon. R. F. Boyle, R.N., Chief Officer of the Coast Guard ; the second service clasp to Robert Parrott, who had previously received the medal of the insti tution; and £8 ss. to the crew of the institution's life boat stationed at Tenby, for putting off and rescuing, during a heavy gale of wind, the crew of three men of the smack Bruce, of Milford. A reward of £6 was likewise granted to the institu tion's life-boat stationed at Braunton, North Devon, in acknowledgment of their valuable services in rescuing the crew of six men of the brig North Esk, of Sunder land, which, during a very heavy gale of wind, was wrecked on Braunton Sands, on the morning of the 2nd ult. A reward of £ll was also granted to the crew of the institution's life-boat at Castletown, Isle of Man, for putting off and rescuing four of the crew of the Ohio, of Stettin, which was wrecked during a gale of wind off Castletown on the 19th ult. A reward of £6 was likewise voted to the crew of the Barmouth life-boat, far putting off to the assistance of the ship Troy, of Boston, U.S., cotton laden, which dur ing the foggy weather was seen on shore, in a dangerous position, in that neighbourhood. By the timely ser vices of the life-boat this valuable ship and cargo were probably saved from destruction. A reward of £6 10s. was also voted to the society's life-boat at Berwick, for saving in a heavy sea the crew of six men, of the brig New Astley, of Aberdeen, which was wrecked, in a very high sea, off Spittle Point, on the 9th ult. Eighteen lives were also saved during the late heavy gales, from four wrecks, by the institution's life-boats stationed at Yarmouth, Winterton, and Whitburn. Since the recent storms, the institution has paid £153 for services in its life-boats. The silver medal of the institution and £1 was voted to Mr. P. Smith, Coast Guard chief boatman, and £5 to his crew, in acknowledgement of their gallant services in wading into the surf, at the imminent peril of their lives, and rescuing, by means of ropes, the master of the Norwegian brig Caroline, which, during a terrific gale of wind, was dashed to pieces on the night of the 26th October. Three of the crew were subsequently washed on shore on the stern part of the ship ; but three others unhappily met with a watery grave. The silver medal of the institution and £3 was also voted to a fisherman named Charles Mitchell, and £l5 to eight other men, in acknowledgment of their gallant conduct in rescuing four of the crew of the sloop Busy, of Newquay, Cornwall, which during a hurricane was wrecked off that port, on the night of the 26th October. After repeated efforts in the middle of the night, Mitchell managed to reach the sloop and to save her crew. It is well known that a life-boat has been long wanted at Newquay ; •the large landed proprietors—the Brunes, the Rashleighs, and the Robartes—have generously come forward in this good work, and it is to be hoped that the rich duchy of Cornwall will contribute some thing towards providing its dangerous shores with life boats. A reward of £5 was also voted to several men for saving, by means of cliff ladders, the crew of three men from the schooner Diligence, of Whitby, which was wrecked off that port. Various other honorary and pecuniary rewards, amounting to £2OO were also granted to different parties in testimony of their valuable, services in saving life from shipwrecks during the recent heavy gales on the coast. A letter was read from the officer of the Coast Guard at Nortll Berwick, and the clergyman of the manse, stating the necessity of a life-boat at that place. A wreck had recently occurred in the neighbourhood, when the whole of her crew perished. They were of opinion that the crew might all have been saved, had a life-boat been on the station. Miss Burdett Qentts, had, with her usual munificence towards the life-boat cause, offered to pay the cost of the life-boat which the institution is about to send to Siloth, necieCarlisiej The institution decided to station new life-boats at. St. Andrews and Thurso, in Scotland ; and at Portrush, in Ireland. It was reported that the institution's life-beats had,' during the recent storms, been instrumental; under 4510 d, in rescuing 85 ; poor sailors from an appalling death by,• shipwreck. The boats had also been : the means of saving thousands of pounds worth of property, by aiding distressed vessels to,get off t from danOeue positions.

In the corner of a drawer, deposited in an old bag, there has been found, since her death, the sum of £lOO or thereby, all in silver. Many of the coins were quite black, and there was only one crown-piece amongst them, the rest consisting of shillings, sixpences, and fourpenny and threepenny " bit s ." tis said, that before she died the old woman kissed the keys of the place where her well hoarded treasure was deposited. SCOTTISH HOSPlTAL.—Wednesday being St. Andrew's day, the 195th Anniversary of the Scottish Hospital was celebrated at the London Tavern, when nearly 140 ladies and gentlemen sat down to dinner, Lord Elcho, M.P., in the chair, Sir J. Heron Maxwell ac ti ng as vice-chairman. Among the gentlemen present were— General Scott, C.B.,General Alexander, C. 8., Alderman Rose, Lieutenant alker, 78th Highlanders, Captain Hobson, R.N., the finder of the Franklin relics in the late Arctic expedition ; Mr. W. P. Andrews, Major Adair, Rev. Dr. M'Lean, of the United States, the Hen. AV. Campbell, Colonel Pitcairn. Captain M'Leod, and others. A vocal band, under the management of Mr. George, and the instrumental band of the Caledonian School, kept the company in harmony throughout the evening. THE LONG ANNUITIES.—The amount of Long Annuities which absolutely expire upon the payment of the dividend in January next is rather over £1,000,000 sterling. At 3i per cent, this would suffice to meet the charge of a loan of upwards of £30,000,000 sterling. On the 10th ult., annuities to the amount of £ 318,318 ex pired. If, therefore, England were to raise next year loans to the extent of £40,000,000, the charge of the national debt would be no larger than it has been this year.—London Express. IRISH EMIGRANTS FOR PERU.—Dr. Edward Cullen, says the Boston Courier, has entered into a contract with the Peruvian Government for the introduction into that country of 25,000 Irish emigrants, who are to renounce their allegiance to that Government, and become citizens of Peru. The Peruvian Government pays their sea passage, and gives to every colonist about nine acres of land, at an elevation of 4,000 feet above the level of the sea. THE BIRMINGHAM CATTLE Snow.—This exhibition closed on Thursday night, the proceedings of the week having been satisfactory alike to the public, the com mittee of management, and the exhibitors. Upwards of 46,000 people visited it during the four days. Nearly every beast, pig, and sheep in the show-yard was dis posed of to the butchers of the midland counties ; and a , fair proportion of the poultry was sold. The Devona realised 9d., and in some cases even more ; the Here fords and short-horns, from Bd. to Ba-d. ; the cross-bred and Down sheep, Bd. ; the long-woolled and Leicesters, ; and pigs made 10s. per score. FALLING IN OF AN OLD COA.LPIT.—Near the bottom of Manchester-street, Oldham, at Coppice Nook, a coal pit shaft was filled up in 1849, and recently a house has been built over it, the front wall of the house crossing directly over the spot where formerly was the mine mouth. The house belonged to Mr. Barnes, and was occupied by Mr. Matthew Ormrod, who has a wife and six children. About one o'clock on Wednesday morning Mr. Tempest Whitehead, landlord of the Plough Inn, Manchester street, was awakened by a sound, as he says, "like an earthquake." He went to his back door, when he dis covered a large hole, just where the shaft used to be. He awoke the Ormrods, and they got through one of the windows, and were safely taken to the Plough Inn. Large masses of earth continued to . fall in during the night, and when morning dawned it was seen that the wall of the house had given way in several places, and the lower portion bent down into the opening several inches. The gulf was plumbed with a cord and weight, and was foun. to be sixty-seven yards deep. THE BRITISH IN CHINA.—The following paragragh is from the correspondence of the New York Herald, from on board the United States frigate Mississippi at Shanghai :—" We may well stop here a moment to com pliment English judgment, which said, on the 24th ult., ' You are trifling with us, Remove the barriers, or we will blow down your forts.' And we may also pauso to regret that even English courage failed to accomplish its end. I know very well that there is a deep-seated and, by the way, a very groundless preju dice throughout our country against 'the Britishers.' I know very well that this prejudice is confined mostly to one-horse minds, who find it difficult to forget that 'the Britishers' who caused our revolution eighty-three years since, and the glorious warriors who opposed them and conducted it to so brilliant an end, are all now gone before the Ancient of all time, there to settle their differences. And I also know that if these very ' one horse minds' could comprehend the bonds which unite England and the United States at the present day, and if they could have witnessed the straightforward and reckless courage which was displayed before the Peiho forts a few weeks since, they would join us in regrets for its failure, and find themselves forced to admire a a nation boasting men of such indomitable bravery." EAR-nisus.—Ear-rings, for many years laid aside, are now all the rage in the world of fashion ; but an entire revolution has taken place in their form and design, as heretofore they were worn in long pendants, reaching the neck, and they are now distinguished by being as small as "possible. I bouton is the most graceful form, covered entirely with diamonds, en pave, or a round ball of gold with a coloured stone in the centre; an Etruscan design made in Rome, a copy from the celebrated For narina, is also much worn. Ear-piercing, therefore, once called fashionable barbarism, :is again daily prac tised—and not alone from the caprice of fashion, as our oculists consider that defective vision is greatly . relieved by this simple process. Our most gracious Majesty and the Empress Eugenie are most lavish in their patronage of ear-ringa. For the head-dress, a simple wreath of diamonds, placed on plait, has superseded the towering and shrub-like tiaras of former days, at once more classic and graceful. Coral is also much used for the head ornaments.—Court Journal. &Amt..HOLE IN GUILDHALL. —The ancient Little Ease in the Guildhall was destroyed in 1815, in making , the improvements in the Guildhall ; it then stood at the site of the steps leading to the Council Chamber. The present one was soon after erected in the north-west , turret, and was often used till the year 1831, but not since. Jor a description of Little Ease, see Dr. Lin- gard's "-History of England." vol. viii, note g, p. 424, fourth edition,.lB3B. "A fourth kind of. torture . was a cellcalleCrLittle Ease.' It was of so stnalldimensions, and , ,so constructed, ' that the prisoner could neither stand, sit, nor lie in it at full length. He was corn. pelted` to draw himself up in a squatting posture, and so remained several days." There were many places like these for the punishment of prisoners in different .parts of the country. Randale Holme says there was one at Chester ; there was one at Walton-on-the-Hill ;Ithere is 'one at Liverpool, on Everton Brow; another on the St. Helen's-road, three miles ..from Liverpool, and another at Hull„ near the-Lancashire shore.---gity" Press.
