The subject is one of thrilling interest. A house, in which two children are asleep, is being consumed by fire ; and while the father is hesitating as to what he shall pursue, the mother, actuated by a strong of maternal affection, rushes through the flames to save her offspring. PROFANE SWEARING.—At the New Bailey Court house, Salford, a case of this kind was brought before Mr. Trafford, magistrate, on Tuesday, upon a summons, rather reluctantly granted, at the application of a master silk vnanufacturer against his servant, Mr. Smith, the appli- course feeling cant, said the offender's name was John Buckley, a labourer in his employ, and he was in the habit of using most shocking oaths. The magistrate said, " Buckley, do you plead guilty of swearing profane oaths P" Buckley— ' Yes, when I'm out of temper." Magistrate—" Then the act of parliament says you must pay a shilling." The court fees made the fine into one of four shillings, which was paid. SELECT VESTEX.—On Tuesday, at the fortnightly meeting of this body, the Rev. Rector Campbell presided. Mr. Moss said he had received an offer from a respectable party to restore the chimes of St. Peter's Church, and to wind them up and keep them in repair for £25 per annum. He was sure the general vestry would sanction such an ex penditure by the churchwardens ; and he for one would be willing to exonerate them from risk by a private sub scription. The matter was referred to the churchwardens, who will appeal to the next general vestry on the subject. It was agreed to pay the demand of the council on the parish for £2,442 as library and museum rate. A letter had been received from Mr. H. W. Slack, stating that h' had received a telegraphic report of the death of I partner, Mr. Frederick Cripps, one of the district used' _ _ Officers:ancl tend poirithd Mending ng his services till ;en pasl 1 recom- whereupon a resolution had That Mr. Slack should be placed in the temporary at the same rate of charge of the distric that received by Mr. C rn - dsleratiOr „ripps,—llm appointment to Mr. W ject to discontinuance ataWeek's notice. It was reported that about 16 of the children from the Industrial Schools had re.wived situations since the last board day, and that one gild had absconded. There were vacancies at present for 63 boys and 109 girls_ The total number of inmates in the Workhouse was stated to be -1,703, amongst whom there are 417 sick cases. Mr. Hart read a return, showing that, whilst there had been an increased cost of provisions, the number of paupers had diminished, there being 305 this week less than in -the corresponding week of last year.

She will be 190 feet long, 42 feet beam, 26f ep, and about 1,600 tons measurement. She will be launched in December next. THE DOG NtrlsexcE.—A vigorous raid has been com menced on the part of the police against Vagrant dogs and their owners. On Thursday, upwards of 400 persons were summoned before the mayor for having allowed their dogs to go at large in the public streets. All these cases have originated since the mayor called the attention of the police to the dog nuisance. In each case where ownership was proved, a fine of 55., with 2s. 6d. costs, was inflicted. FLEETWOOD, PRESTON, AND WEST RIDING JUNCTION. —The half-yearly meeting was held at the Town Hall, Preston, on Monday last week, Mr. T. B. Addison in the chair. The statement of accounts showed—Receipts to June 30,, 1853, £157,822 6s. 4d. ; arrears of calls, £18,954 10s. Bd. ; awaiting completion of forfeiture, £19,941 ; total, £196,717 16s. Balance due to bankers, £3,378 9s. 9d. The chairman believed that no change had taken place in the position of the company since the last half-pearly meeting, and therefore there was no formal report to be presented on this occasion. After a short conversation lings t AURORA. BOREALIS.—On Friday, there was a beautiful display of the aurora borealis, or " Northern lights." The coruscations were moat brilliant, and from dusk till midnight the whole of the horizon to the northward and westward was illuminated with intermittent flashes of light. About half-past eight, a singular body of light was visible immediately over the town. Its appearance re sembled the ray thrown out by the elecctric light, only that it took a zigzag di r ecti o n, an d appeared denser in sUbstance. It appeared very low in the atmosphere, and many were puzzled to make out what it could be, not a few supposing .it to be " the come increased 'in its dimensions. That 'sunk below the hoi tnous stranger," Sore seven o'clock however, had PanrunitoXic CONERT.— si The fifth Performance of the year took place on Monday before an exceedingly large audience: Upon the whole the concert was successful, the extreme nervousness .of M'lle Bellini, detracted in some degree from the interest of the concert. An addi tional attraction was afforded by the performances of the clever boy - pianist, Arthur Napoleon, who astonished the audience by his extraordinary playing. Though only eight years and a half old, he executed compositions with an ap preciation for the intention of the composers, and display ing an executive facility which surprised every one present. THREATENED STRIKE AT MA?tCRESTER.--We regret to have ikTain to record symptoms of differences between employers and employed. This time it is the manufac turers of domestics who are seeking an advance of wages, and, seeing how very unremunerative this branch of trade has 'been for a length of time, and is at present, their em ployers have not been able to comply with the demand of tel. per cent., which is the advance required. In conse quence, the operatives in four qr five large mills have notice, and left - their employ ment this week. Their example has been followed by others, and their notice will expire nett week, when they are expected also to strike work. In some instances they may succeed in obtaining a tempora/7 advance, until the warps and weft in the hands of the manufacturer are used, but then, assuredly, the mills must be closed. All the year the trade has been unremunerative, with brief in tervals ; and 'it is clearly impossible to afford . more for labour at present.—lllanchester Courier. • .• HEALTII Ge THE TOWN.—The medical officer of health reports that, in the week ended the 27th ult., there was again- a decrease in the mortality of the borough, the deaths registered having been 183, against 192 in the previous `week, whilst the leverage of the same week of former years was 230, without cholera. Of the 66 deaths from oymotic diseases 48 were from diarrhoea, &c., a smaller number than in the corresponding week of any year since 1848. Of the 43 who died not fewer than 40 were infants and children. Typhus caused 4 deaths, scarlatina 8, small-pox 1 (unvaccinated), purpura 1. A patient, aged 34, . died from hydrophobia, having been slightly bitten, abont - three months previously, by a dog, lathe country. From diseases of the lungs there were 38 deaths, against 53 in the previous week. One death Prom delirium tremens was reported—La male, aged 54. A fatal case of imported cholera, reported as "Asiatic," occurred on Wednesday, to a German emigrant, aged - -25, who was attacked with the disease inits premonitory stage in Hamburgh, a ?fortnight previously, and who neglected to employ. means to arrest its progress, until within a few hours previous to his death. Theinedital officer of health, having investigated this case, finds it to have been of foreign Origin, and is of opinion ' there is no reason at present to app-ehend an outbreak of epidemic • cholera in Liverpool. The health of the town has .seldom been so good as it now is and haS beenlor the last five months, during width period the mortality has been . 'continually below the average. No epidemic is prevalent, and diarrhoea in particular, which always increases in frequency and severity before an outbreak of cholera, is at present less frequent and fatal than it has been at any similar period of the laft - five years.

William Tatton Egerton, Esq., M.P., (the society's:president for this year,) was in the , ehair ; and there were also present Messrs. Dixon and Bothwell, inspectors of farms to the society; Mr. James Green, treasurer ; Mr. Henry White, secretary ; Messrs. Ledger, Longton, Warburton, Edwards, Birch, Baxter, Rose, Garfit, MTarlane, Lousdale, Pownall, Pemberton, Lowndes, James Bent, G.'Halsall, James Langshaw,.Peter Leather, Thomas Atherton, ThemaS MTarline, Briscoe, and James Dickinson.

The officers of the society for the ensuing year were then reappointed, and the following gentlemen were added to 1111 - mitiee : Robert Wilson, - Esq., of Hal aoOl, and Thomas Whittingh.am, Esq., of THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, AM) GENERAL COiN Tin day nest WOO.LTON FLOWS will take plac A VIOLENT ATT.A.CS by turn-out workmen took place at Ancoats, near Manchester, yesterday week. Several workmen were being conveyed in a covered van, to pre vent them from being attacked, on their way from Man chester to work at Openshaw. When the van had arrived at Ancoats, it was violently attacked ; the door was forced open, and, notwithstanding.a protracted and spirited re sistance, the inmates were dragged oat and severely mal treated. Two of the ringleaders were apprehended ; and, having been brought before the magistrates on Thursday, were committed for trial. • FALSE PRETENCES.—At the Police-court, on Saturday, Francis Risenburg, a young Austrian, of respectable ap pearance, was charged by Mr. Francis Holzenger, secre tary to the Austrian consul in Liverpool, with obtaining £3 by false pretences. On the 7th ult. the prisoner went to the office of the consul and informed the secretary that - the consul, who had been kind to him on a former occa sion, had verbally ordered him to call at the office, and draw £3. The secretary, knowing that his master had taken an interest in the prisoner, and giving credence to his story, gave him the money. In the course of the day, however, he ascertained that the consul had given Risenburg no permission to call for money, and informa tion was given to the police, who succeeded in apprehend ing him on Saturday. A document of a suspicious cha racter, leading to the assumption that he had been con nected with begging-letter impostures, having been found in his possession, he was remanded, to give the police an opportunity of making further inquiries. OPERATIVE SAWYERS.—The sawyers of Liverpool are soliciting their employers for the following rate of wages : Yellow pine, 29 inches deep and upwards, 3s. Bd. per 100 feet ; ditto, under 20 inches deep, 3s. 4d. per 100 feet ; red pine and red Baltic deal, 4s. per 100 feet ; all foreign white hardwood, except American ash, 6s. Bd. per 100 feet ; all single flat cuts, double measure ; English white hardwood, American ash, and all oak billets, 6s. per 100 feet. Best cut for all in all kinds of wood, and extra cuts, as usual ; planking ash for felloes to be paid for by measure the same as the above. Sweeping felloes immediately after being sawn, id. per inch clear; ditto dry plank or planked in the country, id. per inch clear. All labouring, includ ing taking down boards, loading and laying loads, and getting in timber, to be paid for at the rate of 4s. per (IV. or sd. per hoar. The employers have had a private meeting on the question, but what resulted has not yet transpired. THE WATER QUESTION.—On Thursday, Mr. 31`Donald delivered a lecture at the Concert Hall, Lord Nelson street, on the " Past, Present, and Prospective Supply of Water to the Inhabitants of Liverpool," in which he gave a clear, succinct, and impartial historrrsgelthe'Pike contro versy, detailing fully and fairly the part he took in oppos ing the Rivington scheme, and referring to what he had suffered personally for his opposition to it. He gave full credit to those who had removed him from the water works, because they thought he was an obstruction in the way of carrying out a great improvement. Referring to the Pike he said :—" The town has no more use for its waters than a horse has for two tails. If it were possible even now to stop these works, there would, in all probability. be a saving of at least £200,000." At the close of the lecture,, the -audience awarded a vote of thanks to Mr. M`Donald, and a committee was formed to draw up a memorial to the Town Council against expending more motley on the Rivington scheme. LIVERPOOL SESSION S.—A report of the August Ses sions, which commenced on the 27th ult., was by accident omitted last week. The Recorder, in his charge to the grand jury, said it was satisfactory to find that the com mitments to the sessions had been decreasing, and proba bly during the last ten years 'or more there never were fewer commitments for the period than during the last few -months. He added, "It is probable that this will be the last sessions in which this court will have to pass sentences of transportation under the law as it now stands. In fact, I may say the present law will expire on Friday -next, When a term of penal servitude will be substituted In a great many cases for the present sentence of trans portation. It is satisfactory to see the provision made, 'through the liberality of the Corporation, e for dealing more effectually with priseners, by the erection of the new gaol which will shortly be opened." The Recorder next descanted on the subject of the licensing system. He said, " I can lay my finger •on a public-house in this town which I believe to be the resort of thieves, and where I have no doubt there is a sort of society of thieves, and that • public-house is licensed by magistrates of this town, and will be licensed again ; for though I am morally certain, from seeing, sessions after sessions, what is done there, what 'becomes of it? There is no power to deal with it. It is not easy to-bring legal proof into a court of what you Might be otherwise pretty certain of, and so the mischief goes on, and the house retains its license. And if the magistrates having to do with the granting of licenses felt - certain the house was one o f a certainde scription, and failed to prove it in a court of justice, they would be visited personally with the costs. I have long thought that the public:houses were too numerous in this town, and that more sparing use should be made of the power of giving licenses by those who exercise it The following is a summary of the sentences :—Jane Davies alias Mary Ann Bell, stealing a watch from James Shaw, seven years , • transportation ; Wm. Thompson, steal ing 10s. from Mary Whitley, ten months', hard.labour ; James !Evans, stealing a coat from James Walker Bell, the same ;'Thomas Trougher and Job Davies, the former for stealing, and the ' latter for receiving, 37 brushes, be longing to John Henry Hopkins and others, four months; Maria Turner, stealing £lO 18s. from Isaac Caddy, six months; Agnes Wilson, -stealine. 26 from John Robert son, twelve months ; Wm.

F. Shand in the chair. From the report :FOR PaiLWA.T. • , appeared that the whole of the forfeited shares hAving been sold, The debt of the company had been reduced from that source by the sum of £7,700 ; but, much to the sur prise of the &rectors, Sir William Cubbitt, who, as stated in last report, was appointed arbitrator between the cont pany ana the New - ri Navigation, had, by his award of £l,BOO against this company, added so much to the out standing, obligations. In accordance with the pledge given at the last half-yearly . :meeting, the directors had endea voured to carry into effect a junction with the Newry - Enniskillen Company for mutual adva'ntagt , regret to say that the terms proposed-by that compan ,-e; but they were such that they could not, with due'regard to the company's interests, comply with them. The real obstacle Which prevented an agreement was not that stated by the 'chairman of the 'Newry and Enniskillen Company, at their meeting in Julrla.st, but the refusal of that company to adopt the principle of division, which the directors consider the only fair one. The directors had not yet succeeded in procuring the whole of the money - necessary to re new the debentures at 44 per cent., at which they are willing to borrow ; but they had, neeertheless, been ae commodated with funds to the advantage of the company, and had no doubt, when the present tightness of the money market shall have passed away, that they will be able to procure all that they require. The traffic on the line continued to increase, confirming the confident ex pectation of the directors, that when, at the expiration of Mr. Dargan's lease, the line again comes into the posses sion of the company, a much larger return may be antici pated. Mr. Sparkman, secretary of the Newry and Enniskillen Railway, appeared as a shareholder to condemn the polity of the directors in not having amalgamated with that company. He was replied to by Mr. Charles Holland and others, after which the report was adopted.: DOOR COMMITTEE.—The weekly meeting was held on Th u l,B daY, Mr. Turner in the.thair. The Sub-Committee of Works recommended that the arrangement as to the levels at the Wapping Dock, proposed by the Health Com e, be agreed to, and the work executed 'under their su p erv ision. Confirmed.—There was another recommen dation from the same committee, that the surveyor be in structed to proceed with the foundation of the intended Ivarehouses on the south -quay of the Stanley Dock, if found Practicable without interfering with the working of the dock. They Chairman said the contracts en the one 7" 1 Were going. on slowly, and the committee thought it desirable side. to make some preparation for proceeding on the other The recommendation was agreed. to.—The Chairman stated, in reference to the works at the north docks, that on a recent inspection only 40 bricklayers were found to be at wor k- ; t he re s h ou ld have been 400 or 500. A conversation followed; - from which it appeared to be the feeling of the committee that, though the contractor might have some diffi cu lty i n ge tti ng men, he was responsible for proceeding with the works, and the Dock Trust ought not to be the sufferers.—The committee of master porters re commended that the wa, ,, , , es of the keepers bf weights and scales be increased from - 20s. to 225. 6d. per week. Mr. Bigham and Mr. Evans opposed the increase. Ulti mately an amendment, that the matter be referred back, with a recommendation to put the men on the same footing as dock gatemen, was carried. 'During the con versation, Mr. Bight= stated that it would be injudicious, with a surplus of only £6OOO, after one of the most pros known, to increase their expenditure.— perous years ev .esolition was read which had been passed by the Baths Committee, in reference to the intention of the Dock Trustees to construct new works, which, it was thought s would interfere with the pier-head baths. The Baths Committee considered that the loss and destruction of those baths would cause additional expense, rendering a pumping establishment necessary ; and - they recommend the Council not to sanction the contemplated arrange ment. The chairman remarked that the Baths Com mittee had taken a great deal for granted as regarded what the Dock Trustees intended to %do. Mr. Bighara said the resolution of the Baths Committee was in oppo sition to what the Council had determined, as land had be bought at Everton for a reservoir. in which to pump The pier -head baths had been declared to be He thought the com- on the books from a Rotianist GENERAL INTELLIG_ENCE.

The Derry steamers, ac they successivelparrived at the Droomielaw, have been 'crowded from stem to stern, paddle-boxes and all, with this class of passengers. A POWDER. MAGAZINE in the neighbourhood of Ots chakow,.in•Russia, in which about - 16,000 kilogranunes of powder wore deposited, blew up a short time since-with a terrific explosion. A soldier who 'was on guard was knocked -to pieces, and an old man who lived in a'house near the place. was killed by the falling. of a stone on his head. The -roofs of the houses and the churches in the town were seriously injured by the falling stones, and an • immense number of windows were broken. A JEWISH CoLolcv is described in the Jewish Chronicle as having lately 'been discovered at SingapOre. They claim to be descended from the exiles of the-first Babylonish captivity, and are 'ignorant of the second dispersion.

THE FOUNDATION STONE of a new building for the Athemeum, at Melbourne, Derbyshire, has been laid by Lord Palmerston, who followed up the formal ceremonial by an address on the advantages which such an institution was capaide of conferring. The building, which has been commenced, is to be erected after designs by Mr.' Stevens, of Derby, at an estimated cost of about £7OO. It will provide accommodation for an Infants' School, a Mecha nics Institute, and a Savings Rank.

A SINGULAR SUICIDE occurred last week in the coffee room of the Cathedral Hotel, London. A young man named George F. Stanley Smith, who was shortly to have been married, swallowed prussic acid, which occasioned his death. From a paper found in his pocket, it is inferred that he committ e d the fatal act, in consequence of feeling an inferiority of mer it , i n himself, to whom he was about t o be united. A TRAIN on the Y or k an d Scarborough Railway was, th e y oun g lady with on Wednesday last, discovered to be on fire. On this line, it seems, luggage is carried on the roofs of passenger car riages, and on the occasion referred to, it is presumed, a spark from the engine had alighted on a pile of luggage, and fanned by the current of air induced by the motion of the train, speedily involved the pile in flames. Fortu nately the fire was discovered, and the burning luggage removed, before any very serious damage took place. Several of the passengers, however, were seriously alarmed by the occurrence. salt water mittee had gone out of their duty in passing such a reso lution, and doubted whether it should be received. The chairman considered that, as it was a courteous communi- cation, the Docl Committee were bound -to treat it as referred to the.

NEW OBANGE INSTITUTION AT ST. lIMENS.—The • of a new lodge at St. Helens, in connection with Te Institution of Great Britain and Ireland, Aduyi.a.t took place on Wednesday last, at 'the King's Head hotel. i near Altrigeham.

At be occasioned to the Manchester members by this arrange- )pearance of . R. W. D. G. le meet _ the hour appointed, the Esq.; of Liverpool, entered the room, in company with the Hon. G. S., and other grand lodge officers, who were enthusiastically received. When the enthusiasm had subsided, the G.T. introduced the D.G.M, who opened the proceedings by the usual form of prayer. The D.G.M then gave his address in eloquent terms The members present approved the secretary's . _ suggestion, butnothing - will be filed .until the meeting in December. The entry for the show to-morrow, (Wednes day) is now complete, and is the largest the society has ever had. The ? exhibition of poultry will considerably exceed, both in numbers and quality, that of the show at Liverpool last year. The reaping machines are to be tried in corn growing ans.the farm of Mr. Warburton, of Bewsey, about two miles from Warrington, the clarbefore the show. warmly cheered in the course of its delivery. He showed the protesting spirit of our ancestors, from the invasion of the Saxons to the great revolution, an epoch which settled on a firm foundation those rights and privileges which now are Britain's pride and boast, .and that the Bill of Rights was not the work of that time alone, but was the confirming and securing of what the nation had been struggling for through many generations. He next showed that the Orange Society had been, and ever would be, a protesting and repelling - system against foreign in vasion or home rebellion; that, with God's blessing, it was the mainspring of action to support our Church, our Queen, and our glorious constitution ; and also it was, he said, the lever which had raised Protestantism high above subserviency to Popery, and that if the powerful stimulus of Orangeism were removed, or suspended, our re ligion and liberties would be torn from us. He then re minded the meeting of the heroes, soldiers, and martyrs, who, to gain the liberty we now enjoy, bad endured agony and torture ; and that, amidst the strife of war and persecution, through them the flag of truth and liberty had been upheld ; that martyrs had not been burned, that they (the meeting) should be enthralled ; nor had heroes bled, that they should be the vassals or slaves of Popery. He alluded to the memory of their devoted and high hearted ancestors, to the thrilling deeds of glory with which their names are imperishably connected ;—their undying love of liberty—their zeal—their. .enthusiasm for truth in life—their fidelity in danger and in death. These, said he, are things of which you have no right to boast, if you allow the Pope to be your ruler, his priesthood to be endowed, the l,able repudiated, and educational establish ments neglected. He exhorted them to be faithful and true to the sacred trust committed to their care, and to hand it down unimpaired to posterity ; and then, conti nued he, come what may, be it weal, woe, liberty, slavery, life, or even death, if found but true to our God, our country, and each other, we may look back with a grateful recollection. After an urgent appeal to the friends pre sent, to give in their names as candidates for admission, the Right Worshipful sat down amidst much applause, having consented to give another lecture in a month. — The `Wellington Lodge" was then opened in due form by the grand officers, who installed Brother Joseph Taylor as the Worshipful Master: a large number were ml tiated, and a long list of names sent in for approval. At the close of the proceedings a large party met the brethren, with their ladies, in the ball-room, where a plenteous supply of good things was pro v id e d . The usual loyal toasts were drunk, added to which was the Ch urc h of England and the Orange Institution. The Brothers G.T., N. Bradley, Esq., J. Little, Esq., and D:4—ONortehG Dis trict, Liverpool, Brother Warwi c k, & e. ,f th rand Lodge, made some excellent observations ; and to the various speeches the D.G.M. responded in excellent style and spoke in terms of commendation of th e M .W.G.M , T. J. Ouseley, Esq., The toast of the evening-, which was to Brother Taylor and the Lancashire Witches, w as , as may be supposed, enthusiastically received, and suitabl responded to by Brother Taylor. The brethren and inhay bitants of St. Helens have not enjoyed a more gratifying tettival for a long tinle.—(FrQm a correspondent.) UNQUALIFIED MEDICAL PRAUTITION'ERAL—In a case, Ecroyd v. Knowles, at the Salford County Court, on the 24th ult., says the Manchester Courier, his Honour (J. W. Harden, Esq.) gave judgment in an important case. The plaintiff is a chemist and druggist, and leceps a shop In Broughton-road, and - having served an apprenticeship to a surgeon, he is in the habit of giving advice to his .customers, sometimes attending them at their own houses, but charges for medicines only and not for advice. He attended the defendant's wife in her confinement, and was paid for that attendance. In February, 1851, he vacci nated the child, and shortly after it began to suffer from scrofula, and died in about three months, after very-great suffering. During that illness, the plaintiff and no one else attended the child, frequently calling at the defend. ant's house, and being always addressed as " Dr." TW A action-was brought for lotions, powders, and ointment, supplied in the course of his medical treatment. The defence was. that by the act 65 Geo. 3, cap. 194, sec. 21, it is declared -4' that no apothecary shall be allowed to recover any charges claimed by him in any court of law, unless such apothecary shall prove on the trial that he was in practice as an -apothecary prior to or on the sth August, 1815, or that he has obtained a certificate to practise as an apothecary from the Master Warden and Society of Apothecaries ;" that the plaintiff was probably not born in 1815, and had no certificate. The defendant, moreover, contended that as the death of the child was attributable to the plaintiff using diseased matter for vaccination, it could not be said that his services were worth anything. My decision turns upon the first point only, and it becomes necessary for me to inquire what are the relative duties of an apothecary and of a chemist, within the statute 55 Geo. 3, cap. 194, by the 28th section of which it is provided, " that nothing in this act contained shall extend or be construed to extend to prejudice or in any way to affect the trade or business of a chemist, in the buying, preparing, compounding, dispensing, and vending drugs, medicines, and medicinable compounds, wholesale and retail; but all persons using and exercising the said trade or business, or who shall or may hereafter use or exercise the same, shall and may use, exercise, and carry on the same trade or business in such manner, and as fully and amply, to all intents and purposes, as the same trade or business was used before the passing of this act." The business of a chemist is, in my opinion, to prepare and dispense, that is, distribute or deal out and sell medicines ; but if he presumes to prescribe or administer medicines in the ordinary course of attending patients, it appears to me that he practises as an apothecary, and that he cannot recover for the phials. See the Apothecaries' Company v. Greenough, 1 28. 799 ; Allison v. Haydon, 4 Bing., 619; Steed v. Henley, 1 C. and P. 574.. Each branch of the medical profession has its own province ; it is, I think, quite clear that the plaintiff in this case has interfered with the province of the apothecary, and that charging for the drugs is a mere blind ; he is , conse quently, debarred by the 21st section of the Apothec aries ' Act from mai n t a inin this action, and the verdict must be entered for the defendant. sation tl matter MERCIAL ADVERTISER.

RAILWAY ECONOMY.—AII the engine-houses that have been left standing since the failure of the atmospheric system on the South Devon line, and which involved an an outlay of nearly half a million, are being " blown up" by the contractors, to make way for a double line of rails from Newton Abbott to Plymouth. Ma. ROEBUCK is a wise man. He knows how to secure the pleasures of life without its toils. While the .session lasted, his health was so indifferent as to pi - ,ude his at- tendance upon his Parliamentary duties, to the great loss, no doubt, of the country. No sooner, however, is Parlia ment prorogued, than n sudden fit of improvement comes over him, and enables him to accept an invitation to the Cutler's feast at Sheffield.

MALDON BRIBERY COMMISSION.—The Commis sioners report that open and direct bribery prevailed at the last and previous elections for this borough ; that a Large portion of the electors, consisting chiefly of the poorer class of freemen, are influenced, not by the political or personal recommendation of the candidates, but by the money habitually employed to corrupt them, and that the blame of this does not so much rest with them as with their superiors who tempt then thintia TUE The existing PROPOSED NEW RAILWAY CARRIAGES , form of railway carriage is proposed to be improved so as to accommodate a larger -number of persons. The carriage is to be formed of two tiers of seats instead of one, the body being placed low so as to give the necessary head room for the passengers in each tier, access being given to the upper tiers by side doors, staircases, and steps, and to the lower or ground tier by doors placed at the ends, the body having a projecting platform protected by railings at each end, to enable passengers to enter the end doors, with a passage or thoroughfare (as in America) from end to end of each carriage on the lower floor. RAILWAY COLLISION.—On Wednesday, a dent happened to the five o'clock down train at the Horn soy coal-sidings, on the Great Northern Railway, in con sequence-of the tender of an engine of a previous train having got off the line, whereby one lady, a Mrs. Harri son, has sustained a compound fracture of the leg, a Mr. Harrison, and Mr. H. Justins, a solicitor, have each a leg broken, and several of the passengers are more or less cut and bruised. The Bishop of Lincoln, Lord Enfield, the Lord Mayor of London, and Sir James Duke Tious acci- e among these who are slightly injured, A NEW LOCOMOTIVE for travelling on common roads has been invented by M. Alexandre Lefroy, of Nesle, in the department of the Somme. It is said to be a great improVement over anything heretofore tried. It is of ten-horse power, has four wheels, and is of simple me chanism. It is turned by a peculiar sort of chain from the right to the left, and, without forcing the steam, can be made to go rather more than fifteen miles an hour. Its weight is not, so considerable as to injure the roads. It ascended rather sharp inclined planes, turned corners, and went backwards and forwards with facility. CONSERVATIVE LAND SOCIETY.—The thirteenth pur chase of the Conservative Land Society, and the fifth estate in Middlesex, has just been made at Page-green, Tottenham, near the Seven Sisters'-road, Stamford-hill, close to the railway-station. This new property is situate near the Markfield estate, which was recently sold at such a large profit. The fourteenth purchase within eleven months of the formation of the Conservative Land Society, has just been effected for allotment among the members, at Reading, Berkshire. The estate is situate on the Castle hill, and is known by the title of the Devonshire Square and Crescent Estate. It commands a most extensive and beautifhl view. _ _ INEKINANCE ON LIVES.—By an act of Parliament just published the provision for the abatement of the Income tax in respect of insurance on lives is extended.

EXTRAOIMINARY CHASE AND CAPTURE RI:TIMING A "CHUMMY" TO Eanxn.—A notorious* "black varmint," in the shape of a chimney sweeper, named Coppock, afforded the .officials 9f the County Court, and a large "field" of spectators, some fine sport, last week, in Shrews bury. He had been cast in an action in the court, and John Doe and Richard Doe were on the look-out for him. Suddenly they sighted their :gentleman, and gave .chase; but sooty, soon finding himself hard pressed, bolted into a louse, and quickly ensconced himself up the flue ! His pursuers sounded a parley ; but : chummy was in a position .to dictate his own terms, who instantly determined upon no surrender. Bailiff on the roof above, and bailiff in the chamber below, kept watch and ward at both ends of the .varmint's "drain,' peering down and up like a magpie 'into .a marrow-bone, but. 'utterly unable to draw their 'badger. After the fort had 'been thus invested for up wards of seven hours a compromise was effected, and the black garrison suffered to march out with the honours of war, amid the laughter and congratulations of a large crowd of idlers attracted to the spot 'by-the novelty of the proceedings.

Deare, of London, headed by Mr. Calvert, the Australian geologist, obtained gold readily (by the common washing process with the tin dish) at the head of I3orrowdale, and ,also near Buttermere. At the former place the gold was rather water-worn, and at the latter it assumed an angular cha racter, and was found in the ferruginous earth lying on the surface of the clay and green stone slates. The lump of gold mentioned in our Jest, found by Mr. Calvert, near Buttermere, presents a very beautiful and rich appearance, and seems to encircle small particles of silica, and generally to be embedded in, or tinged 'by, the earthy oxide of iron. The weight of the entire piece was 57 ounces, and is valued by Mr. Calvert at £221. In the gossan, at a mine near High Ireby, Mr. Calvert detected small particles of gold, but the softer gossans appeared to contain none. Near Bassenthwaite Lake, at a short distance from Peel Wyke, Mr. Calvert obtained a very beautiful but small sample of gold, in the reddish earth resting on the clay slates of that locality. He is of opinion that gold is generally diffused on the clay slates, and locally on the green stone slates, throughout Cumberland ; but how far they will pay remains to be proved by deep workings in the beds of rivers, where sufficient debris, or alluvial mat ter. has accumulated. The result of a search through the Skiddaw group was fruitless. Mr. Calvert is of opinion that the mineral resources of Cumberland are not nearly fully developed, as he Into seen indications of rich copper and lead lodes in maiden ground. We understand that he intends to pursue his researches in Lanarkshire, where he fully expects to find that the similarity of the geological conditions with Australia will make the pursuit of the precious metal equally profitable,—CarlWe Patriot. xhibition t to utter AS AN ILLUSTIATION ( Crystal Palace, it the old s in Hvd to the hE latterly, 1 from whi THE CAS .s the damages av the costs, of about £1,050, SALE OP PICT St. Mary Rodeliff, Bris thrP , - Ow, pictures Ascension," 'ter taxation, WE he " Sealing o: ie Senulehn ate worl ke plaintiff's at ;sizes, which, v nd, amounted Two Marys at result of• Icon, A. sami NATAL TOBACCO, th of tl: ad has rived at Southampton from the Cape of Good Hop is the first specimen of toba that has been broug ported for the purpose Market here GRAND MASONIC masonic ball is announces hall, next month, under tl the Right Hon. the F.,4 ;land), and connected wit' the noble earl IL AT St, sev signified their intention of be SALE OF A FRENCH NI Presse of the proprietor, art purchaser hav of Zetland nano other nob 'SPAPEF TRE EST able ever offered as, on Wed nesday last, dispose Edinburgh, to Mr. Dillon, and Co., of Morris) for some r.

Only two Scotehmen—the Earls of Bute and Aber- deen—have been prime ministers of England. Two Irish men—Castlereagh and Canning—have led the Commons ; and amongst prime ministers, Ireland counts three —the first Marquis of Lansdowne, the Duke of Wellington, and Mr. Canning. As successful "leaders," Si r Robert Wal pole and the younger Pitt are unrivalled in the duration of their power. _ _ A NATIONAL MUSEUM FOR SCOTLAND is a subject which has long occupied public attention in that country, and last week the Right Hon. E. Cardwell visited Edin burgh with a view to enquire into the subject and report to government. He inspected the Natural History and other museums in the University-buildings ; after which he visited several places which were suggested as offering favourable sites for the et of an edifice, suitable for the reception of the contemplated museum, promising to consider the whole matter, and report to the proper quarter. HA.mnToN.—The Tablet says that the Duchess of Hamilton attended mass on The 21st ult., at Hamilton. The Rev. M.

" Locic-E-r" lIC DORSETSIIIRE.— On Saturday, two vagrants entered Wimborne, vending lucifer matches, and . for some misbehaviour were taken into custody, and, of course, put into the ordinary durance vile. Although the usual search was made by the con stable, a box of lucifer matches (concealed by the younger prisoner under his armpit) escaped notice. During the \ night of their confinement they.attempted a release by collecting the straw in their cell and setting fire to the door. A can of water is usually left by the constable with his prisoners on - these occasions, and it would seem they endeavoured to extinguish the fire by pouring this water over the blaze, thus creating a dense smoke. There being no ventilation, one of the prisoners soon fell a victim to his own rashness ; the other prolonged his existence by placing his mouth to a small crack in the door. On the arrival of some workmen engaged on a building close by early next morning, they heard a noise of groaning, issu- ing from the " hotise," and called up the constable, who, on opening the door, found one of the prisoners quite dead, and the other in a state of syncope. The latter was conveyed to the Union-house, and, having been rallied by stimulants, was enabled to make a statement to the effect above given. The second prisoner, however, lingered only till Monday morning, and then died also. Inquests on the bodies have been held, and verdicts ac- cording to the circumstances given, tne Jury, nowever, m one case, accompanying their verdict with the following opinion :—" The jury are of opinion that the lock-up or blind-house,, in the town of Wimborne, is totally unfit for any human being to be placed in, more especially during the night, as it appears there is a great want of ventilation and other conveniences."—Poole Herald HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS have successfully cunt, ulcerous wounds, and dreadfully swollen limbs.

BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS.— Extract of a letter written by John Molard Wheeler, Esq.. Collector of Customs, Jamaica. having been handed by his brother, at Swindon, to Mr. Prout, for publication :—" I know you have never bad occasion to take Blair's Pills, but let me emphati cally tell you, in mercy to any friend who may suffer from gout, rltuematic gout, lumbago, sciatica, rheumatism, or any branch of that widely-allied family, to recommend their using them. In this country they are of wonderful efficacy ; not only am I personally aware of their powers, but I see my friends and acquaintances receiving unfailing benefit from their use. I would not be without them on any account.
