N. Pendleton to examine his log book, in which he gives an account of his visit to the island of Juan Fernandez (Robinson Crusoe's island.) The ship was on her last passage to this port from Boston„ and had on board 55 passengers (25 of whom were lathes), who intended to make California their future place of resi dence. Getting short of water, Captain Pendleton decided to stop at Juan Fernandez for a further supply, and there fore shaped. his course thither—the island being nearly in his track. At six p.m. on the evening of March 24, they doubled the eastern end of the island, and at seven rounded to off the Bay of St. Joseph, at the head of which the inha-. bitants now remaining on the island are located. The facilities for loading at the island, Captain Pendleton represents to be not very good. The casks must be taken on shore ' and filled, rolled back into the water and par-buckled into the boat. While the crew were at this work, the pssengers rambled off in different directions to make discoveries. The island is about 25 miles long by about four in breadth. The land is. very high, rising, in rugged, precipitous peaks—one of them, called Yunkque, 3,500 feet above the level of the sea. The peaks are gene-: rally overhung with clouds. The valleys are exceedingly fertile, the grass growing to the height of six or eight feet.. Figs, strawberries, peaches, and cherries abound in their season. The Golden Rocket was there in the season of peaches, and the valleys and hill sides were full , of trees Ipaded down with delicious fruit. Capt. Pendleton bought four barrels of the inhabitants, and the passengers, about, as many more. Strawberries flourish best in December and January. There are three remarkable caves in the side of the hill facing the harbour, about 80) yards in length, 25 .yards in width, and about the same in height. Theinhabitants now number but fourteen, of whom Messrs. Day and Kirkaldie ' from Valparaiso, are the chief persons, they having been appointed. overseers of the island by the Chilian Government. Formerly a penal colony, numbering 500, was located here, and the caves above-mentioned were used by them, but the project was found to be impracticable, and the. convicts were taken back to the mainland. The Golden Rocket anchored on the op-. posite side from that upon which Selkirk lived, and, there being, a mountain to cross to reach the Robinson C2llsoo abode, no one ventured to make the journey. The best landing is on the eastern side, but the water is 20 fathoms deep at the head of the bay, and in some places, sa bold is the shore, th a t a b oa t ti e d by her painter and drifting to the limits would be. in 75 fathoms. An immense number of goats are running wild over the island, and an abundance of fish are taken on every coast. The water is obtained from a numbe r o f never -f a ili ng r i vu l ets tr i c kli ng d own over the rocks. from the cloud-capped mountains,--" San Fran, cisco Times.". .ee , a a el SII IPPEDB AND EXPORTERS.—A meet profitable article. especially,.w Firters e , li p m a a te tes nted y baree Messrs. th the Saunders Self-cl aannsd ionfge x e p o h a r r t e , o t a o l Co., of 16, Parker-street, Liverpool— in fact, they are in valuable wherever there is bad water.

ALLOWANCHS TO PirossenTeaS AND, W1TN136611:3 AT ASSIZES AND SESSIONS.—Theie having of late beenirequent complaints that the scale of allowances to prosecutors and witnesses at assizes and sessions was very.Anarlbquate, and: operated to-prevent the tlibtection, appreheusion,,anel. punish-- meat of criminals, the subject has been taken up by the corporation,. of Sheffield.. The watch committee, of the cop poration appointed a sub-committee to inoestigate the matter, and their report-was. presented an the meeting of the. Sheffield Town Council,. a. few days ago, and adbpted. The report states that, "having carefully examined the autho rised rules for allowances-to , prosecutors and witnesses at the assizes and sessions, as issued on the 9th February, 1854 by Sir George Grey, and having also examined several persons as to the amount of money paid to them =kr those rules," they beg-to report "that the allowances.madb to prosecutors and witnesses under the said /Ides are;, on the face of them,. inadequate to meet the. necessary expenses. to, which persons are put while attending at the assizes. and' sessions; that the witnesses examined' have, in all cases ' necessarily incurred expenses beyond the• sums allowed to them, without taking into consideration the loss of wages arising from being, unable- to attend to business - that- several persons have declined to give. evidence and information, and to prosecute. various felonies on the express ground that to do so would' not only be inconvenient but productive of loss both in) money and time, for which the allowance under- the rules referred to ;would be no compensation,, and that it it. more , prudent to suffer the first loss thaw to be mulched in ,addi tional penalties in enforcing_ the law, more for the public than. their indi'sidual benefit."- It was decided by- the council that a memorial should be presented to the , 11.

LORD NORTHWIOR'S PICT.URR COLLECTIO4T. - The great artistic event of the present season—the disp!rsion of the Northwick collection of ancient and modern. pictures— takes place at Thirlstane Castle, Cheltenham, at the end of this month,. The late Lord,Northwick spent aditetime and a.fortune in the patronage of art, and was, without doubt, the warmest-hearted patron,of young anctpromising. artistes of recent times. His collection of pictures at Thiristane is contained, in, a noble picture gallery, built expressly for it by the deceased peer, and - in a number of smaller rooms, which were added from time to time as.his commissions and purchases from other collections required, such, additions. But, indeed, the whole.mansion is one vast pietrav gallery; and we may suppose. how general. will be , the rush from all parts of the kingdom of the lovers: of high art, when the private view opens. The catalogue before us contains the names; of not less than 1891 pictures, and other 'Works of art, and the sale, which begins on the 26th instant, will extend:over 22 days—a period which many art enthusiasts will not find too great for a superficial glance at the treasures here stored, which are hung not only on the walls, but on screens, in vestibules, in bedrooms, dressing , rooms, the hall, and staircases. It is; impossible, in a notice like this, to particularise tha most remarkable f ea t ures o f' the Northwick collection. It is enough to say that all schools and all' periods are , represented ; the most valuable,, perhaps, being' the pictures belonging to the Italian school of the 15th century. Some of the best of these were placed by the deceased peer at the services' of the executive.com mittee of . the Manchester Art Treasures Exhibition, and exhibited' within its walls.. It is not, unlikely that the trustees. of the National. Gallery will seek to secure• fOr the nation some of the best of the representative pictures which this sale , offers for competition. There are also several im portant historical portraits, which would be great acqui sitions to the National Portrait Gallery. Mr, Phillips, of Bond-street, is the auctioneer, to whom this unrivalled art collection is entrusted, for sale. SHOCKING, DEATH OF A Box FROM DRINKING WHISKEY. —A shocking accident has just happened at the village of Colwallencli, near Wolverhampton. On Tuesday afternoon, a company of gentlemen anglers met at Co/wallend-hall, the residence of the Farts, for the purpose of fishing. The son of Elisha Flavell, an intelligent boy, of a lively :tempera, ment, who had been making hay with his father during. the day, called at the hail, where he was a favourite, before returning home. Ile was hailed by the . proprietor to come to the fishing pond; and, after some joking at the lad's expense, a quantity of the spirits which the party were drinking was given to him. It is said that it,was whiskey ; and that, as required, the lad drank " deeply." Immedi ately after he had taken the liquor, a reeling sensation came over him, and he went to sleep instantaneously. In sensible and shaking, he was carried to the barn to lie down. For more than 16 hours he slept on'; and his parents, fearful that something serious was the matter, sent for a surgeon. “Ilis belly, in the time had become (so says the father) as hard as a stone." About nine o'clock on Wednesday morning the surgeon arrived, and remained with the lad for several hours. All medical expedients were resorted to, including bleeding, blistering, poulticing, and purging medicines ; but all were unavailing in restoring consciousness until three o'clock on Wednesday afternoon, when there was a disoharge, and the boy then cried out, sud denly, (tWater, water ! take me to the spell& ; water , water 1 ." Then ensued a writhing agony, which ended shortly afterwards in death. The sufferings of the lad, who was only 10 years old, are described as having been horrible to witness. . - It is stated that some - Englishinen have taken up the administration of the estates of the son of the late Viceroy , ofEgypt, The estates are of immense value, about 150,000 fellahs or peasants being; employed. It is tar be hoped that under their- auspices the valuable resources of ibis rich coun try will be fully and successfully developed. - . , TEE CHOLERA 3N JAVAN.—The "only , :effect at Simoda was to produce a decided "revival."

THEARNY.—GeneraI Peeltread a memorandum the other evening -of the military forces. constituting our home estab, lishmeat, which we fear must be strangely at variance .with facts.. The gallant general .said that, exchuling the marines on shore,,the enrolled pensioners, and the recruits for-India, the forces in the.. United Kingdom on the Ist of June were thusanade up :----." Cavalry; 11,698 ; Foot Guards,, 6,184 ; Infantry, 50,032 ; Horse Artillery, 1,749; Foot Artiller3r„ 12;669; Royal Engineers, 1,854; Military Train, 1;861; : Medical Staff Corps, 3*; and Embodied Militia, 13;218.1; total, 109,640; or, excluding the Embodied Militia, 86,4221"' Now, we must take. leave to question the correctness of some of the most. important of these items.. Take the first =the cavalry. There are. in the , United Kingdom three , full regiments of Household Cavalry, and the following Regiments of the. Line—viz., the 4th and , sth, Dragoon Guards, Ist and 2nd , Dragoons, 3rd, 4th, and , I:3th, Light Dragoons, sth and 16th Lancers, and 10th, 11th,. 15th, and 18th Hussars. These 16 regi ,ments have. an establishment of 520 of all ranks each, so that if the were up to the establishment (which w e d ou b t very. much the aggregate .strength would be. 8,320 men. Throwing. the depot of the 9th Lanc ers , w hi c h cann o t i t be classed under the head of "recruits for. India," inasmuch as the-regiment is on its way home, we may call the whole cavalry force at home 8,500 men, or more than 3,000 less than it is represented tobe in General Peel's memorandum. A much more unportant misstatement is that respecting the infantry of the-line, which the memorandum makes amount to 50,034 The infantry re g iments at home. are—the 9th (Ist bat-. tallion), 10th (2nd battalion), 11th (two battalions), 12th (2nd battalion), 14th ' (2nd batalion), 15th (Ist bat talion), 16th (two battalions), 17th (2nd battalion), 18th (2nd battalion), 19th (2nd battalion, 20th (2nd battalion); 21st, (2nd battalion); . 22nd (Ist battalion)/ 24th (2nd battalion), 30th, 36th, 55th, '47th, 55th, 58th, '6oth (4th battalion), 76th, 99th, and Rifle Brigade (Ist bat talion). These twenty-six battalions, with their depots, cannot certainly be put dawn at more than 1900 men each, or 26,000 in the aggregate. Adding thirty-two home depots of regiments serving in the colonies, which average about 200 men each, or- 6,400 'altogethe r , we h ave a force of ' infantry of the line of 32,000, or nearly 18,0041 less than it is represented in the memorandum read by General Peel. We cannot. speak with equal certainty Of the strength of the embodied militia - regiments, reasons for thinking that it, d oes not come up to which is stated to be 23,2;8 ; b u t we h ave very strong 16,000 men at the outside, Th ere ate one or two other sterns in the =, memo dam which we, cannot h e l p suspect i ng are incorrect, though not to a matrrial extent ; but those we have named inake, a difference of about 28,000 men between what we does not like to notice anonymous remarks, we take to be the truth hold exarere..ion in these matters to be as impolitic as it and General Peel's me morandum. We Ge neral 'ilea, is unjust. Vie cannot deceive Europe as to our strength, and it is not advisable to deceive England.

AREACHING.- CARLISLE. OPEN- M'IVEILS: 'AT On Sunday evening, a very interesting scene took place in the village of Scotlayi,near this.city. It hall been an ; nounced, thotgh not generally, that the Rev. DrtllCNeile who, we believe, was on a visit to David Hodgson,, Esq., of Scotbl4, would preaoh in the open air within the Park enclosure, attached to, Mr, Hodgson's residence.. Aecord ingly at half-past seven,. the hour. appointed,. several hun dreds of pprsons had assembled, comprising almostall of the inhabitants of Scotby, and the neighbouring- hamlets and villages,.. and a good irtany from Carlisle and Stanmix. The object of,; the preacher, was to address himself' particularly to those , villagers who were not in the. habit o f: go i ng t o church and his sermon, whilst - exceedingly plain, .was, at the same time, most; impressive:. , He contrasted: forcibly the pure enjoyments of a Christian life with . the sensual and-, short-lived pleasures of, the worldly-minded ~and earnestlx exhorted those who, had been. in the habit. of neglecting ; their religious duties to pause , and consider---to try the effects. of prayer—to) forsake the public-house hir the House. of God, and he promised them,, if they did , . this, more real happiness than all; the pleasures of the world were capable of afferding. He illustrated. ; the pure an& sinless life of Christ; besought them to-, become His.. disciples whit there was tinie,, warning- theta of the agony of remorse which must follow hereafter those who persisted rin rejecting His . marvellous. love. The address of tbe..rev.. gentleman was. listened to-throughout with great atten tion. There was. no interruption, save , from an occasional railway train Tassing on its way to Carlisle. The speaker paused sicrnificantly as the fiery chariot shot athwart, the, scene. Whilst the sermon was going on, a vast congrega tion of crows, returning : from an excursion to the Solway, assembled upon the tree—tops, raising occasionally, pinions and voices .nt concert,. before finally,-going to roost.. But their chorus: eras in harmony with the scene. The weather. was beautiful, the sky serene, scarcely a breath of air dim turbing the beautiful, foliage of the trees, and the mellow - - voice of the• preacher was chstinctlyheard by all the listenera who stood around, the males uneoirered, in respectful atti tudes of; attention.. Both before and after the sermon, the whole assemblage joined together in singing a hymn.. That a good, ffect has been produced upon those the. Reverend Doetor,partieularly addressed himself top, there eannet be a doubt.. We are quite certain_that it is long since the villa gers spent Sunday evening so. pleasurably an profitably together.--" Carlisle Patriot". BANQUET AT ROCHDALE TO MR. CORDEN.—At a, meeting of the Rochdale Reform Committee, held on, Thursday evening, it was, after considerable 'discussion, resolved that a banquet upon. a large scale should be heltt in; honour of 14r.. Cobden, on. the 27th instant. NOVEL USn Ton lloors.—There was..a passenger in the Buffalo and Lake Huron railway-ears, , lately ; whose hoops. were very extensive. She had, taken her place pretty . early ; neither tho persons in front , of her nor those behind her suspected-anything wrong. But the conductor was more sharp-eyed., "You've a boy there, ma'am," aaict he ; " Pit trouble you for his fare. " Youngster had to. get up from: under his - umbrageous covering; and, after a z few words as to the bora age, the conductor. received his fare.. TIIE SONS Or tttP list of students, at University College s London ' who on Saturday last received. prizes at the hail of no less distinguished a personage-than the premier of Great Britain, Lard Palmerston, we find the names of the two sons of the ex--Governor of Hungary, While he is, or about to be, in the field seeking theande pendence of his country, his , sons. have been winning laurels in the more peaceable departments of architecture, natural philosophy and astronomy, and civil engineering. It says not a little for these young. strangers, that in a co mp etition . with upwards of two hundred students, they should have succeeded in,gaining so honourable a positio n , a n d qu it e as much credit is due to- their sire, that in all his adversities he has adhered so religiously to the duty of a parent, and has placedhis sons at least on the right road to,honourable inde, penclence. His friends in this country may probably have had a desire that he should have sought in, Britain a home and country for himself and family, insteadof engaging in doubt fid schemes, of which no one can see, the end. He might have founded a family in England, like, the Romillys, and other exiles, who are now an integral part of the British nation ; and none can doubt that to, the sons of Kossath the way to advancement would not have been made more difficult than to the native-born citizen. As it is, he seems to be selecting a different course, and if that course be suc cessful, these young men may return to their own country with the proud satisfaction that, at the University of Lon don, they won their prises by their own efforts, and that those prizes were placed in their hands by the Prime Minis ter of the great, free nation. One great service their father has, at least, performed to his country, he has made- it known to the European public. It is no longer the terra incognita that it formerly was, in little more than name, Europe has its eye on Hungary, and, after Italy, Hungary may possibly find, if not a road to independence, a road to improvement. Whatever may be done in that direction will be mainly due to the efforts of Kossuth ; and his sons may-live to reflect on Hungary some p . ortion of the freedom which they can scarcely fail to have imbibed during their residence and education in England, HOTISEREEERS.—The Coffee sold by Thompson Brothers, 5, Elliott-street, at is 4d, is better than you pay is 8d for at any other establishment. IMPROVEMENT IN GENTLEMEN'S ann letters from time to time have, on this subject, appeared in the "Post" and "Journal," the originals of which are to be seen at our shops, 9, DALE-STREET, and 6, CRESCENT, MR. JOHN A. SiIMPSON; the active partner of the Arm of KINNEAR and SIMPSON, begs to state that this improvement in Gentlemen's Hats is his own inven tion, and registered by him in his own name, and is his own private property. In bringing this invention so prominently before the public, he has avoided say ing one word about it himself. All that has been done has just been to print, in the " Daily Post " and the "Liverpool Journal," some three or four letters at a time. The principle' upon , which the advertisement is inserted is the one so well expressed in Proverbs--" Let another' man praise thee, and not thine own mouth ; a stranger, and not thine own lips." The wh o l e of th ose Letters are - written by persons altogether uninfluenced by any other motive than this—that they really felt the bene fit of Mr SmsPsoN's invention,- and in such a degree, that they thought it only just to him to state their opinions, not n words merely, but also in writing.

It ought to be. at its destination; therefore ; , early this morning. But, that. de pends on.. the currents. of air- If a current should settiii from the•west, it would bring the balloon much-sooner •on the seaboard, somewhere on the, coast oflilasstiebusetts;. if, on the contrary, the- current should blow from the , east , ward, it would prolong• the flight over Canada, perhaps, to t Newfounslland or ether parts of the- British Possessions.

Wonderfully adventurous, however, must. be. the man, who after all. the catastrophes which have happen.ed with balloons, and the uncertainty of the winds at whose mertyt.hey are, will undertake to navigate the, air ocean between the two, continents. The fate of Icarus, who, in attempting to flyi, had the. wax which fastened, his wings melted by the- sun, and fell into the- Icarian sea, seems to have afforded no warning to the • long lime of ambitious terminate who have succeeded him., We trust that no disaster will, happen the brave men who , now meditate a • voyage to the.

In hundreds of cases such things cannot be matched, and of course cannot be mended. The latter want has been obviated by an extraordinary and effective invention, by Mr. Adshead, of . Derby Pottery, near Derby. It is a cement that may be said to heal in a per,. feet manner all cracks and breal in, the articles spoken, of,, and not only in, these., but in marble, alabaster &c. The benefit of this article need not be dwelt on.
