By the Africa, screw steamer, which arrived in the Mersey on Sunday night, Detective-officer James France, of Leeds, was a passenger, on his return from Canada and the States, whither he had been with the object of detecting James Hubart Sadler, late of Leeds, agent to the But terley Iron Company ; and George Terry, also reeently of Leeds, ironmonger, and who is said to have defrauded certain Friendly and Loan So cieties to the extent of above £3,000. Sadler's defalcations would not exceed £l,OOO. France started from England on the 25th of September, in the Indian, and arrived at Quebec on the 11th October. From thence he proceeded to Montreal, where he'had reason to suspect he should find Sadler, who was an ardent cricketer, and who, it was supposed, was accompanying the All. England Eleven in their tour of the States. At Montreal, France was upon the still warm track of Sadler, but missed him by a few days' start. Anticipating that be had gone over into the States, France still thought that it might be as well to take Hamilton in his route, where the Eleven had to play a match. In that city he communicated his errand to Mr. Carruthers, chief constable, got his warrant endorsed, and watched, the cricket ground and cricketers narrowly. But, Sadler did. not present himself.. France next ascertained that Sadler was in New York, and there he followed him. Assisted by Detective officer Farley, he searched the city through and through, but for some time without seeing any traces of the swindler. All the drinking saloons and public places frequented by . the English, in cluding such houses as Brooke's porter stores in Broadway were also visited, Brooke's establish-, went being watched day and night, in conse quence of some information received. France next advertised in the New York papers that a letter of importance was awaiting " James Hu bert Sadler, of Leeds, England," at the Broadway way Post-office, but this ruse appeared to be too transparent to hook the ci-devant turfite and cricketer. The detective next fell in company with a theatrical manager, who told him that a person answering Sadler's description had lately been lodging at the Patterson's Arms, near Jersey Ferry. Hither France accordingly proceeded, and there learnt that Joseph Paley, blacksmith, of Leeds, (who was a great companion of Sadler's, and who was formerly employed by Messrs. Den nison and Co., smiths and founders, George-street, Leeds,) who accompanied Sadler to America, had here left his companion, after first robbing him of £57. France also learnt some information which induced him to visit *the Bowery, "the boys" of which . have achieved a notoriety far beyond the precincts of New York. Here he fairly ran his game down. At a groggery or liquor shop of very indifferent pretensions, he found Sadler, who was carrying on business under the name of Box, a name of some cricketing cele brity. Sadler's cards were thus inscribed, " James Box, cricketer, from England, ' The Swan,' Bowery, New York. Free and Easy.' All ,de scriptions of liquors, spirits, &c." 'The New York detective. Farley went into the spirit store, and told " Box" that a man, who gave the name of Paley, was drunk and in custody at the Broome street police-office, and that he confessed to having robbed a man named Sadler, whom he described to him (the police-officer). Sadler immediately confessed his proper name, went with Farley to the police-office, and was there introduced to--- _ France, the detective. He was dumb-foundered, for he remembered France at once, having met him in many a hard-fought field of cricketing. Sadler next burst into tears, lamented his unfor tunate fate, and expressed himself so alarmed by his position that he wished the officer to remain with him in the cell all night. Vice and guilt had worked a fearful change in the once gay and debonnaire young man. His , good looks were gone, premature care had written her hard lines on his brow, and the adoption of the American cut of beard and moustache had not improved his appearance in the slightest degree. France re mained with him some little time, and to him the abject victim confessed, that he would rather die than return to England. France next proceeded to search the drinking saloon which Sadler had taken, but all the fellow had in the world, as shown by his till, was only some eight dollars.. Sadler said the woman who accompanied him had left him a few days after they landed, at a place called Cornwall, near Montreal, and he had not seen her since. Next day Sadler attempted to dispose of his spirit store for 3GO dollars which he proposed to hand over to the officer, but no buyer could be found. In the afternoon, a fellow named Swan, of whom Sadler had purchased " the Swan," in the Bowery, engaged Mr. Sedgwick, a solicitor, to watch the case in -his behalf, and when the matter came before the police-magistrate, Sedg-' wick contended that the Ashburton Treaty did not recognise the class of offences known as, em bezzlements, and that Sadler must consequently be discharged. This being undoubtedly the law, the prisoner was ordered to be discharged. France's object was . either to secure some share of the spoil, or to get Sairni - Ori board the Cunard boat, but in both respects he was unfortunately unsuccessful. As far .as regards money, Sadler was evidently without any, and as to being en ticed on board the Africa, he was too old a sol dier thus to be caught. By way, hoWever; of acknowledging France as an acquaintance, he actually condescended to bear his company until the 'Steamboat Wharf was neared, and , then he took a gleeful farewell of his uncomfortable I),rother Yorkshireman, who within a few minutes ,stood on the deck of the Africa,' on his way back England. Whilst at Hamilton, France lu f Terry. This precious scoundaq some news known to all the detectives in that part of the country photographs of him being in the possession of most of them. He took good care, however, to keep away from dangerous ground. He is occa sionally heard of at Buffalo, Cincinnati, and Chicago ; , but the strong arm of the law i s no t strong enough to reach him within the borders of these States. France was in a drinking saloon at Niagara Falls where Terry was lodging, at the tim e Blondin was really performing his dangeiOus exploit s ; but the ex-Grand Master of the Odd fellows is not at present definitely to be heard of. The detective-officer . sailed from New York on the 26th o f Octo b er, and arrived at L i verpoo l on Sunday ; t h e distance he has thus traversed in 40 days bein g Over 7,290 miles. NORTHERN DAILY A NEW CAMPAIGN IN NEPAUL. It is currently reported (says the Bombay Gazette) that the campaign in Nepaul is soon to be resumed on an extended scale. The dislodg ment of the rebels from their positions in these mountains, and their dispersion in the southern districts, have been frequently attempted since the beginning of this year ; and although in every conflict they have retreated in, disorder after the first collision with our troops, they have not aban doned their encampments in the wild valleys be yond the Terai ; and their determination to hold this long-disputed field at all risks, while it proves the value set by them upon this remote territory, shows clearly the necessity of organising a new plan of operations, such as may render our efforts successful, and accelerate the conclusion of a peace so ardently desired by all. There are reports, to which at present we attach little heed, of active steps about to be taken by Jung. Bahadoor to get quit of these pests in his territories. A letter in a north-western journal states that he has ordered the Nana, Mummoo Khan, Boni Madho, and the rest of the principal rebels, to leave the district under pain of being forcibly ejected by his troops. Another correspondent men tions that a brigade of Goorkhas, from Khat mando, have arrived at Dhang, with a view to drive the insurgents from the hills. The rebels frequently cross the border, and plunder the inhabitants of Turwah Koorah, where there is a company of sepoys beloriging to one of the talookdars. If it be true that Jun is now going to send an armed force into the field to con- tend with the enemy on the frontier of Nepaul, we should have a word to say in his favour, and not deem him quite undeserving of the reward which it seems the Government is going to bestow by making over to him the large tract of country lying between the Raptee and hills, in requi tal of his services. Commissioners are to be im mediately appointed to mark the boundary line, which is to be the same as that which existed previous to the treaty of 1819. It is a question, however, if we can reckon on any assistance from the Rajah in reducing the rebels to subjection. It is said that the Nepaulese government is con- templating some new move, but as yet has given no signs what that move is to be. Jung has a large military establishment, composed chiefly of Goorkhas,. who, at au hour's notice, would garrison every fort and village in the district oc cupied by the rebels, nay, march upon the frontier and compel them to surrender or abandon their positions. But whether Nepaul will throw her bayonets into the British scale is difficult to say ; she certainly ought to be the last to give an asylum to the rebels, and, if true to her own in terests, and faithful to her allies, ought to adopt the most rigorous measures to expel them - from the country. ---..-- CURIOUS WILL CASE (Before the of the R 0115..) SMITH V. FITZGERALD. The testator in this cause, Brigadier-General Joseph Smith, by his will, dated 1790, after expressing " a be lief that his executors would direct his last intentions to be faithfully executed towards every person named in his will, without reference to law quirks, or any quibble whatever," and making -" a solemn declaration that, if any of - his legatees should embarrass his executors by suits at law, or other vexatious - modes whatever, such legatees should not be entitled to a sixpence of the gifts bequeathed to them," gave, amen.. other be quests, £5OO to the different hospitals at'Bath," and £5OO to the Charity School at Madras for the education and maintenance of soldiers' children—such legacies being payable out of a large sum of money alleged to, be then due to the testator from the Nabob of Arcot. The testator died the same year as he made his will, and the Nabob of Arcot appears to have paid up in 1804. In 1815 the examiner declared the accumulated legacies due to the Bath Hospitals and the Madras Charity School to be about £7OO revectively, or about £1,400 in all; and this sum, having been at that time invested Word - drof 'the Court, at present represents Bank Stock to the extent of £3,914, and ,cash in the bank to the amount of £3,158. The object of the present applica tion was, first of all, to ascertain which were the hospitals of Bath" contemplated by the testator ; and secondly, to obtain the division of the funds and stock above-mentioned between such hoiPitals and the Madras Charity School—the hospitals to take one moiety divisible among them,_ and the Madras. Charity School the other 'moiety. Upon inquiry, made to the satis faction of the Court, " the, hospitals of Bath" contempla ted by the testator were ascertained to be, first, "the Hospital or Infirmary at Bath for poor persons from all parts of Great Britain and Ireland who are suffering from complaints for which the Bath mineral waters were a re medy;" secondly, " the United Hospital at Bath ;" and thirdly, " the Bellett Hospital, established in Bath in 1611." Under these circumstances, the court made an order for the division of the funds and stock as prayed, the one moiety being diVided between the three Bath hospitals above mentioned, and the other moiety being carried to the account of the Madras Charity School, as at present represented by the Military Orphan Asylum at Madras. Mr. R. Palmer, Mr. G. Murray, and Mr. Wickens (on behalf of the Attorney-General) appeared in the case. Seventeen years ago the whole fleet of the Royal Mail Company lay in Southampton Water, previous to its departure for the West Inches. This fleet consisted of thirteen of the largest steam vessels then afloatoriz. : Avon, Clyde, Dee, Forth, Medway, Severn, Tay, Teviot, Thames, 'Trent, Tweed, Solway, and Modena. Their aggregate tonnage was 23,400 tons. The tonnage of the Great Eastern is 23,000. COLLIERY INUNDATION% —OE Monday morning a pit was inundated at Sneyde-green, the property of the Silverdale Company, which has occasioned considerable destruction of property, and the death, there can be little doubt, of at least one man. Before six o'clock one man went down and proceeded into the workings. At about six he was- followed by others, who went into the work ings that lay in an opposite direction. Here they met an outrushing tide of water that had b ro k en i n f rom some old workings. They hastily retreated and escaped up the pit, without being able to assist the man who first went down. The water continued to flow into the whole of the pit, and there is 'little hope of the man's life being spared, though he is being searched for. AMERICAN SYMPATHY WITH LADY FRANKLIN.-At a meeting of the Kane Monument Association, in. New York, on the 9th ultimo, resolutions were adopted, ten dering their heartfelt sympathy tb Lady Franklin, and expressing theit adMiration on account of her devoted eftorts, and the calarnity'which she now realises of her irrreparable bereavement; and referring also to the hope which so 'long inspired her, that " a beloved and long absent husband might yet be restored to her—a-hope which, though now disappointed and obliterated, has left the pleasing consCdation' that its cherished object has only passed from the confines of time to a sunny realm, where he will soon be found, and where there is no Arctic region, and where snows and ice are un known." A committee was appointed to communicate the resolution to Lady Franklin, directed to the care of Lord John Russell. TrIE INDIAN COUNCIL.—Men's names are again " syllabled" in' the air.

R,AREY IN DUBLIN The first of a series of two lectureit, with "practical illustrations of his system in the education and manage . ment of the horse; was given yesterday by Mr. Rarey in the Round Room of the Rottmdo, in the presence of his Excellency the Lord-Lieutenant, and a large assem blage of the nobility and gentry. There were also present a large number of persons engaged in the train managetnent, purchase and 'sale of horses, to whom' Mr, Rarey's system, at'once so simple, prompt, gentle, and efficient, must be fraught with much interest and sound admonition. Mr. Rarey's exposition yesterday was one of the most stern reproofs to those who hold the maxim— " spare the whip and spoil the horse." But it was more —it was evidence demonstrated of the capacity of a vicious brute beast and a young, ignorant colt to be governed through • the goodness of their nature, and to become gentle and docile to him who used no other weapon but kindness, and availed himself of no other means for theii‘ proper government than that of show ing them, through their instincts, that he was their master ; and it struck us forcibly, when we saw Mr. Rarey effect perfect dominion over the things which he sought to control with ease to himself and without inflicting pain or injury on the things controlled, what a salutary lesson it was for those in high places, who had the government and the education of men, who may not be yet convinced of the truth, that when the affections are not with that which seeks to govern, its jurisdiction is almost always disputed, and often overthrown. The ar rangements in the Round-room were well suited to give every facility to the audience to witness the all but marvel lous power which Mr. Rarey possesses over the horse, how ever unused to restraint or worse--however vitiated by harsh usuage, and made vicious and morose by modes of training too often adopted. In the centre of the room a large space was railed in, the floor of which was com posed of earth, covered over with straw. In this enclo sure Mr. Rarey operated. The orchestra was set aside for his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant and suite and the holders of season tickets for reserved seats. The benches surrounding the enclosures and the back seats were admirably managed for the object of giving all pre sent an opportunity of witnessing the highly interesting proceedings. These and the other arrangements were carried out in a most satisfactory manner by Mr. Seavey, Mr. Rarey's travelling agent. His Excellency the Lord Lieutenant, on arriving, was conducted to the seat pre pared for him in front of the orchestra. He was ac corrpanied by the Hon. Misses Lascelles (three), and a number of other ladies and gentlemen. Mr. Rarey on presenting - himself was received with loud cheers. He then, after a few remarks, proceeded to attach the strap to one of the fore knees of the horse in the manner so often described. He placed the horse upon its knees, when the animal became restive and sought, to break away from all restraint. After a considerable time the • horse became perfectly subdued. Mr. Rarey said there was much more difficulty in subduinc , this animal than in breaking in a perfectly untraineehorse, inasmuch as this horse had been badly trained, and taught to know his own strength in opposing himself to the violence used towa r d s him. A horse should not be app . roached timidly, as if persons were afraid of him, thus inducing the horse to believe that some wrong was intended towards him. Mr. Rarey went on to give some interesting details of the manner in which he had effected the subjugation of Lord 'Lester's celebrated horse Cruiser. He referred to a statement which had gone the round of the papers, to the effect that the horse had recently killed one of its grooms by biting him. Mr. Rarey showed that this assertion was untrue, the fact being that the horse had only playfully given one of the, grooms a slight nip. The groom was in his shirt sleeves at the time, and would not have got the bite unless the animal had been needlessly provoked. Mr. Rarey then, having perfectly subdued the horse now under his management, and after showing the utter relaxation of the muscles, owing, as he said, to the animal's being perfectly quiescent, with out any intention to kick or bite, he lay down between the horse's legs and put his hant4 into his mouth with out the animal's giving the slighest sign of resistance. The straps were then removed, and the horse rein stated on his legs. A saddle, with its appendages, was then shown to him, which the horse viewed with most laughable curiosity, never taking his eye off the movements of Mr. Rarey. The saddle was gently placed on the horse's back, and Mr. Rarey here gave some excellent illustrations of the manner in which equestrians should mount their horses, by getting on and ont of the saddle with the greatest ease without disturbing it, though it was ungirthed. Mr. Rarey then presented a drum to the horse's inspection, and subsequently placed it on his back, and commenced sounding it gently at first until the horse was inured to the noise, and, afterwards, though the drum was forcibly struck, tie horse remained perfectly quiet. On the horse being led out of the area, Mr. Rarey was loudly applauded for •his complete and perfect success. The next horse operated on was a two-year-old colt, the • ro party of Mr. William Hall, of William-street. " ien the horse was led on by a groom, his owner, in reply to a bystander, stated that the colt had never been broken in and was quite untrained. Mr. Rarey adopted a course with respect to this animal similar to that used with the preceding, and with perfect success. He gave smile in teresting details of the manner in which he had effected the perfect reformation of a stopping horse, that,nothing, even the application of fire, could induce previouslY to work in harness. At the conclusion of the lecture, his Excellency, the Lord Lieutenant, inti ma t e d hi s w i s h that Mr. Rarey • should be presented to him. This having been done, his Excellency congratulated Mr. Rarey on the entire success of his system, and h onoure d him 'with' an invitation to breakfast at the "Viceregal Lodge this morning. Mr. Rarey will give his second lecture on Saturday next, when a wild and untameable horse, which could not be caught yesterday, though four men were in pursuit of her during all yesterday forenoon, will be - operated upon. Those who have not as yet seen Mr. Rarey's admirable plan for the rational manage ment of the horse should not let pass this opportunity.— Freeman's Journal., ,BILOUGHAM IN 1796.—Mrs. Renton, of Buccleuch place—our own Mrs. Fry, and the widow of one of our best citizens, a burgh reformer in the stormy, black, bad old times—has in her possession the " Essay of Dreams," given in by Lord Brougham to Dugald Stewart in 1796. We have seen this remarkable relic; it is writ ten in the same bold, slashing, impatient hand as in his prime. Its title is " Inquiry into the State of our Minds when Asleep," and this altered by the .boy writer to "In Sleep—by Induction ;" and in the .corner, in stout half-text, is Henry Brougham." It begins with a quotation from Bacon, and ends with one from New ton; the teacher and master being of induction first and last. Mrs. Renton got it many years ago from Mr. Smail; secretary to Dugald - Stewart; who told her that when they were looking- over the essays, Stewart said; pushing Brougham's essay to him, " Small, keep that; that boy, if he likes, may be Lord Chancellor of Eng land !"—Scotsman. WRECKS IN _BIDEFORD BAY.—Loss OF NEARLY FIFTY LlVES.—Daring Tuesday. night, and Wednesday morning this coast was again visited by 'a '.gale . of the fiereesCdescription, resulting in the wreck of several vessels in the bay, and the loss, it is considered, in this neighbourhood of. nearly fifty lives. Three vessels, two of which "have been identified as the Wanderer and Refuge, haye been totally wrecked; and the scattered timbers washed on shore at the back of Northam - Barrows, not a single soul, it is feared, being saved to tell the tale. One of the veisels,judging from the, masts and timbers, evidently is a ship o f 1,500 tons, ' requiring at the least thirty hands. On Braunion Sands a brig 'of 320 tons, called the North Esk, of Sunderland,John Chipp, master, was driven ashore about eleven o clock on Tuesday nigkt —all hands saved. She left Llarielly on Sunday for Havre, with' a cargo .of culm, and soon after met with a gale which carried away her mainyard, and two hours after ,both topsails. On Tuesday morning the wind wore round off Lundy NW by N, when she shipped heavy seas, which washed overboard her boats, compass and binnacle. At nine o'clock set foresail and wore s hip at ten, and strirek, - it is supposed, on Baggy- ; leap, and half filled with water ; shortly after she ran ashore off the Braunton Burrows. The crew (six hands) remained in the maintop rigging the . whole of the night. Soon after day-break two countrymen observed the vessel, and gave in formation to the lighthouse keeper. A:flag was imme diately hoisted from the lighthouse, and a crew of volun teers passed over from Appledore and launched the life boat of the Royal National Life-boat Institution, with the utmost despatch. The crew had been since eleven o'deocs, assured the Previous night in the maintop. The captain tho reporter that, although he had seen many Wrecks, courageously done than the saving of himself and. crew never witnessed anything more quickly and by the life-boat. The Braunton life-bdat station is in excellent order, and reflects much credit on Mr. Chan ter and other gentl emen w h o ac t f or th e 'Natio na l Life boat Society on this coast. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT A. SPANISH LEATHER WORKS; LEEDS On Monday evening, one of the most disastrous fires which has occurred in Leeds for several years broke out on the premises of Messrs. Wilson, Walker, and Tatham, Spanish leather manufactory, Buslingthorpe Tannery, Leeds. The works, which are very extensive, occupy a gentle slope on the north side of the Sheepscar Beck, and comprise both new and old buildings, the latter lying on the bank of the rivulet, and the former—a huge building nearly half the length of the Great Eastern ship, being immediately in the rear. The flames were discovered a little after five o'clock, in a long building known as Stock's Old Mill, which has lately been employed by the firm as a dryhouse and as a workshop for the fellmongers ; and, owing to the ignitable nature of the contents, three-parts of the mill were speedily in a blaze. The fire would ap pear to have originated in one of the upper floors, for the " hands" when it was discovered, pretty generally restricted its mischievous operation by discharging con tinuous and dense steam in the lower rooms, a course which to a considerable extent prevented the flames from living, in those departments of the mill. It was some time before the engines arrived on the spot, and the de vastating element had meanwhile obtained considerable ascendancy over the upper rooms, these places being pretty nearly gutted, and the roof all but fallen in before any , fire-hose had commenced to play. The sight was fear fully grand. The building stands within the Meanwood Valley, and this beautiful valley was blackened by crowds of spectators, extending from Buslingthorpe itself to Woodhouse Ridge, and the earnest faces of these thousands of operatives . were lit up with.superbnielor dramatic effect by the flames. The progress of the fire was also curiously watched by earnest groups from Wood house Moor itself. Shortly after six o'clock the engines were got to work, and there being no wind prevailing, the fire was confined to the north-west half of the mill. The loss must be very heavy, as there must have been a great quantity . of partially manufactured ma= terial in the place, independently of the mechanical appliances and cost of the building itself. When our parcel was despatched the fire was still raging, but its strength had been subdued. Had the flames extended to the lofty, spacious, and lengthy factory behind—and at the north-west corner the buildings were in nearly im mediate contact—the loss would have been frightful. This great calamity, however, was fortunately averted, although some of the wood Work beyond the engine-house caught fire at an early period of the conflagration. The partners are, we understand, fully insured. Mr. Wilson (Alderman John and a borough magistrate) is in the Windermere district at present, so that the intelligence may possibly first reach him through the medium of our columns. Mr. Walker was also absent when the fire broke out. The event was attended with very painful features quite independent of the fire, for many women— evidently mothers—were there asking everybody ap parently in authority, in a wild and distracted manner, whether the children were at work when the fire was first discovered. THE NEGRO INSURRECTION The reporter of the New York Herald gives an ac count of an interview with Captain Brown, the leader of the recent attempted insurrection. Brown refused to give any account of who were his accomplices, and said finally I have nothing to say, only that I claim to be here in carrying out a measure I believe perfectly justifiable, and not to act the part of an incendiary or ruffian, but to aid those suffering great wrong. I wish to say, furthermore, that you had better—all you people at the South—prepare yourself for a settlement of that question that must come up for settlement sooner than you are prepared for it. The sooner you are prepared the better. You may dispose of me very easily. lam nearly disposed of now ; but this question is still to be settled—this negro question I mean ; the end of that is not yet. These wounds were inflicted upon me—both sabre cuts on my head, and bayonet stabs in different parts of my body—some minutes after I hal ceased fighting and had consented to a surrender, for the benefit a others, not for my own. (This statement was ve hemently denied by all around.) I believe' the major (meaning Lieut. J. B. Stuart, of the United States cavalry) would not have been alive ; I could have killed him just as easy as a mosquito when he came in, but I supposed he came in only to receive our surrender.. There had been loud and long calls of " Surrender " from us—as loud as men could yell—but in the con fusion and excitement I suppose we were not heard. I do not think the major, or any one, meant to butcher us after we had surrendered. An officer here stated that the orders to the marines were not to shoot anybody; but when they were fired upon by Brown's men, and one of them killed, they were obliged to return the compliment. Mr. Brown insisted that the inarines fired first. PILGRIMAGE TO MEccA.—A recent publication of the Ministry of Algeria and the Colonies makes some curious statements relating to the pilgrimages to Mecca during the present year. The ceremonies at Mecca terminated on the 11th of last month in the presence of about 50,000 pilgrims, of whom 17,850 had come by sea, and 32,150 by land. In 1858 there were 160,000 pilgrims in 1857, 140,000 ; and in 1866, 120,000. This great decrease in the number in 1859 is owing, the natives declare, to the events of Djeddah last year, and also to the dread of the cholera, which made extensive ravages in 1858. As soon as the pilgrim sets foot on the sacred soil of Mecca, he must put on two pieces of white cloth, one tied round the loins with ends hanging down to the middle of the leg, while the other is thrown over the shoulders so as to leave the right arm free. He must go bare-headed and wear sandals. As long as he wears this garment he is bound to lead a pure and regular life. At Mecca he begins the ceremonies under the direction of a guide. They are as follow :--1, visiting the temple and going seven times round the Kaaba, starting from the Black Stone, which he must kiss or touch in completing each cir cuit ; 2, drinking the water of the well of Zem Zein, at which, says tradition, Hagar and Ishmael quenched their thirst ; 3, praying at the Station of Abraham, marked by a stone, on which he is said to have stood when he went to sacrifice his son; 4, stopping and praying at the place called El Madjen, the spot where Solomon stood to see mortar mixed for building the temple ; 5, running seven times between Mouna Safa and Merwa, within the limits of the y city, in com memoration of Hagar's anxious search for water for her self and her son; 6, repairing on the 9th day of the month to Mount Ararat, about 12 miles from Mecca, after morning prayer. Mahommedan tradition says, that on this hill Adam built a temple and Mahomet performed his devotions. 7, on the following day the pilgrims all go in a body to the Valley of Mouna and there sacrifice propitiatory victims ; they also cut their hair and nails, devoutly burying the portions cut off. After remaining two days at Mouna they again visit the Temple of Mecca, and then prepare for their departure. THE FIRE AT THE PARAFFIN LIGHT COMPANY'S —lt will be remembered that about a month ago a fire_ broke out upon the premises of the Patent'Paraffin Light Company in Bucklersbury,. and that, in accordance with the, desire expressed by a deputation of inhabitants (on behalf of whom Mr. Hubbard, solicitor, whose offices adjoin the Paraffin Company's acted as spokesman), requested Mr. Serjeant Payne, the City coroner, to hold an inquest upon the fire, and at the same time directed the City solicitor to attend and watch the proceedings. The coroner held an inquest accordingly, and Mr. Pearson, City solicitor, now attended at the Mansion House to report the result, Mr. Hubbard being also fire were read, present on behalf of the inhabitants of the neighbo urhood, and Mr. Tindal Atkinson (instru.lted by Mr. T. H. Smith, Frederick's-place, Old Jewry) , o n behalf of th e Patent Paraffin Light Company. The Lord Ma yor inquired of Mr. Pearson what had been the result of the tinhqeuleasttte?r being T h to The summing u the e ewas accidental, but that there had been great neglect and an absence of proper precautions, and that paraffin oil could not ffc t p that an d the the verdict be stored in large quantities without danger. Mr. At kinson said paraffin oil had recently come into extensive use as a cheap and brilliantly burning oil, and it could not be the wish, either of his lordship or the city solici tor, to fetter the freedom of trade in any way while it was carried on consistently with the safety of the public. His client was quite ready to adopt any suggestion that could be made so as to ensure safety in the conduct of his business. Lord Mayor : Then I will make a suggestion at once, which' ought to be satisfactory both to him and his neighbours. That is, that he shall only store the oil in small quantities, and shall keep it in a fire-proof building. Suggestions were also made with regard to using a Davy lamp in the fire-proof room when the oil was being handled for purposes of sale. His lordship objected to anything in the matter which might prove unnecessarily prejudicial to the interests of trade. In the end an adjournment was ordered to see it the pro posed arrangements, when fully carried out, were quite f satisfactory to all parties concerned. THE ROMANTIC BALLADS OF SCOTLAND. In one of his recently published Elinbm-gh Papers; Mr. Robert Chambers challenges the authenticity of the romantic ballads of Scotland first published in the Percy and Herd collection, and endeavours to show that, instead of being traditionary lyrics handed darn from a remote period, they are all of comparativel modern composition, and th a t i n all pro b ability som the best of them we re wr i tten by Lady War , of Pitreave, who died in 172 7. - On this question d o Professor Aytoun has joined issue with Mr. Cham bers, and in an address delivered to the members of the Philosophical Institution of Edinburgh, on Fri day last, he stood up for the antiquity of the ballads in dispute, and claimed for them an origin at least as remote as the Danish Invasions and occupations of Scotland. The learned professor,. in his address, said that Mr. Chambers maintained, or what was very much the same thing, insinuated that several of the very finest of the Scotch ballads be longing to the romantic class, including " Sir Patrick Spens," "Gil Morrice," "Edward, Edward," "young Waters," "Mar y Hamilton," and others, were of mod ern composition. His principal reasons for coming to that con clusion appeared to be these :—First, that no very ancient MS. of these ballads was known to exist; secondly, that they were too polished in diction and too elegant in style to be traditionary popular ballads; and, thirdly, that they bore a suspicious resemblance to one another, from the repetition of sundry images and stereotyped phrases, which Mr. Chambers thought might be taken as a presumption that they were all written by the same hand. He (Professor Aytoun) thought he could dis pose of the first objection by this simple remark, that they were here dealing with traditionary poetry deli vered not in writing, but by recitation, from one gene ration to another, under ci rcums t ances precisely similar to the circulation of the Homeric poems, which were current in Greece about 400 years before they - committed to writing under the direction of Pisistratus. His second objection, regarding polished diction and elegance of style, amounted simply to this, that he would reject the best ballads because they were so very good. He had given them specimens of ballads which he believed to be genuine because they were bad. Now, every one who knew anything about Scotch ballads must, be aware that they differed marvellously in quality ; some were so poor, so prosaic, so garrulous, that he (Professor Aytoun) could hardly bring himself to admit them to his collection ; but,:because there were bad ballads in our traditional lore, was it a logical se quence that there should be no good ones ? He denied, moreover, that any of the Scottish ballads exhibited those graces or rather peculiarities of style which corresponded with the ballad literature of the period when Mr Cham bers s:r)posed them to have been written_ They were not one whit more polished—indeed, they were less so— than the poetry of Robert Burns ; and was it necessary to conclude that the composers of these fine old ballads were men of lower social rank and less intelligent than he was ? The third objection, as to resemblances and the recurrence of images and lines, was the weakest of all. These resemblances and recurrences where the unavoidable result of oral recitation, and were a con spicuous feature in the ballad poetry of every country. With regard to the claims of Lady Wardlaw, the autho ress of "Hardyknute," he (Professor Aytoun) thought Mr. Chambers had not been able to rest on any strong foundation the pretensions urged in her behalf as the writer of " Sir Patrick Spens," and other ballads, not withstanding that one of her grandchildren had writ ten of her, " sh 6 was a woman of elegant accom plishments, who wrote other poems, and practised drawing, and cutting paper with her scissors. The fact was, said the Professor, that several of the romantic Scotch ballads, the authenticity of which had been so ruthlessly hallenged, had their exact counterpart in the Norse minstrelsy. He proceeded to contrast passages from the Scotch ballad "Edward, Edward," and from a Scandinavian ballad, as showing a striking resemblance, both in subject and style. He said that the ballads of " Lord Ronald," "Sweet Willie and Fair Annie," " Clerk Saunders," and the fatuous comic ballad of "Our Gudeman," had all Scandinavian coun terparts as exact, and even more so, as those he had read. He submitted, therefore; that he had made out not only a strong but a satisfactory case in maintain ing that the people of Scotland were indebted to the old Norse settlers for a large share of their popular tra ditions and poetry, which gave a keynote to their own purely native historical ballads, of noble composition, which it could never have entered into the soul of the paper-clipping lady of Pitreave to have conceived, THE COMPASSES AFFECTED BY THE NATURE OF THE CARGO.—An instance of this has just occurred. A Prussian ship Burgomeister, leaving .Glasgow with' a cargo consisting chiefly of large cast-iron pipes, the captain found the compasses in error. On being tested at Garelochhead, it was found that the cargo had in fluenced the compasses to the extent of no less than thirty degrees. It is important, therefore, that the compasses of all vessels, loaded to any great extent with iron, should be carefully examined before going to sea. We are informed that Mr. R. E. Pinhey, a gentle man in the Peninsular and Oriental Company's ser vice, has invented an instrument for ascertaining and correcting the local errors to 'which compasses are particularly liable on board iron ships. A chrono meter box is hung upon jimballs, and having over its top a dumb-card (similar to Friend's pelorus) and an equatorial, or sun -dial, which, by means of a radua tion, are at the'side, can be adjusted to the latitude of the place.. The - observer, with a watch set at the apparent time, or time of the ship, causes the shadow of the dial to fall on the part of the in strument representing the time. One portion of the cross will then be in the direction of the true meridian of the place ; consequently all true bearings can ho ascer tained at once—all magnetic bearings, by applying the known variation for the place of observation.. The instrument may be used in any part of the ship, the only adjustment required being to put the lubber line towards the ship's head, then, by placing the dumb card to correspond with the meridian, or the magnetic meridian, as may he desired, the difference between its indication and that of the compasses on bOard will. be e e s et above lTrs: : compass be, m has p l a i s lad s b c P o ee r i e :a t i p o r r : aC th ial the errors for wl 7t r i i ,l c e h ssoa a ili l et l h o o s f v ipjnoo ap pointed Liverpool. p Campbell,oo l. agent for ANlEutex - s CIVILIZATION.--HORRIBLE STORY.---7-Only choice spirits even among the sons of lEsculapius would rank the honour of tying the subclavian for aneurism so high as Dr. John D. Poster and Dr. Choppin, two house surgeons at the Charity Hospital, New Orleans. These surgeons have contested -the honour by- wager of .battlp : " On Saturday morning," says an American paper, " the _wife of a man who was afflicted with aneurism, and was at the Charity Hospital, applied to have a dangerous operation (that of tying the subclavian artery) performed by Dr. Choppin. Ile agreed to do it if the man left the hospital and Caine t 9 his infirmary. This the man desired to do, but on asking the deputy clerk for his 'discharge he -was informed-that Dr. Foster had.left.instru.etious that he should not be permitted to go out of th e h os pit a l. The man waited at the gate until Dr. Choppiri came, who told him he could leave if he chose, as a matter of course, for they had no right to . detain him in the hospital as if he was a pr i soner. ' The man then went Out." Then commenced a scene disgraceful to relate — a scene of mingled cowardice, bloodshed, and brutality. The medical art had-mot softened their_waye, and had suffered the disputants to remain as savages. These two physicians met on the steps of the hospital; two angry sentences passed ; then commenced the wager of battle, in the pagan fashion of those region, strucka and an prising d back down the his sideleft parts.
