Vottrp. THE IMMORTALITY OF THE. SOUL. • By Sir John Davies. INSCRIBED TO THE SOCIALISTS. O ignorant, poor man, what dost thou bear Lock's within the casket of thy breast ? What jewels, and what riches hast thou there ? What heavenly treasure in so weak a chest ? Look in thy soul, and - thou shalt beauties find, Like those cshieh drowu'd Narcissus in the flood ; - Honour and Pieasure both are in thy mind, And all that in the world is counted good. Think of her worth, and think that God doth mean This worthy mind should worth} things embrace ; Blot not her beauties with thy thoughts unclean, Not her dishonour with thy passions base. Kill not her quickening power with surfeitings ; Mar not her sense with sensuality ; Cast not away her wit on idle things ; Make not her free will slave to vanity. And when thou think'st of her eternity, Think not that death against her nature is ; Think it a birth : and when thou goest to die, Sing like a swan, as if thou wettest to bliss. And if thou, like a child, didst fear before, Being in the dark, where thou didst nothing see ; Now I have brought thee torch -light, fear no more; • Now, when thou diest, thou canst not hood-winkd be. And thou, my soul, which turn'st with curious eye To view the beams of thine own form divine, Know that thou canst know nothing perfectly, Whilst thou art clouded with this flesh of mine., Take heed of overweening., and compare Thy peacock's feet with thy gay peacock's train Study the best and highest things that are, But of thyself an humble thought retain. Cast down thyself, and only strive to raise. The glory of thy Maker's sacred name : • Use all thy power that blessed Power to praise, Whi c h gives thee power to be, and use the same. CONTEMPORARY PRESS. THE REV. HUGH M`NEILE. (From the Cork Constitution) We cannot say that we are surprised at the vitupe ration lavished on Mr. M‘Neile. has given the li berals little reason to like him, and by the bitterness of their revilings we may estimate in some degree the da mage he has done them. Were he an easy, idle, good for-nothing-fellow, the radicals are too cunning to rouse him by any" reproach to his indolence; and he might pursue his path in peace; but becUuse he is the opposite of all this?—because he is ardent, active, and determined—because he has done his Master's work with his Master's will ; and laboured to preserve the land from Papal pollution and • Papal perfidy, he is set upon by men who know nothing - either of ale religion they abuse or of th e pr i nc ipl es they profess. To Mr. M'Neile, and men like him, England owes obligations which, to the latest hour of their lives, she will be un able to repay. They have contributed. more than all her politicians, to save her from the revolution on which_she was so blindly rushing. They have shown her the abyss into which she was about to plunge. They have arrested her in her mad career. and brought her back to a recognition of those high and hall Owing principles which are her best distinction and her best defence. So far as Mr. M`Neile is concerned, we have this admitted in a Liverpool paper (the Chronicle) of Saturday. It is a paper which never makes its appear pearance without an attack upon Mr. WiNeile, and the attack is generally seconded by the voluntary virulence of some half-dozen correspondents. Yet listen to the testimony borne by this paper to the exertions of Mr. M‘Neile " Mr. M`Neile is worth his weight in gold to the tory par ty in Liverpool. We wish that we bad a few such active men on our side of the question. When first, he settled in Liverpool, the liberals were triumphant, and the tones a de feated faction amongst us. He has almost reversed the state of things. He has been the most zealous, hard-working agi tator who ever toiled for any cause. He has roused his party to fresh exertions—he has cemented them together—he has devoted all his strength and energies to their service—he has stood by toryism through evil report and good report, and worked for it with an ardour and a zeal which, bestowed upon a bett6r cause, would have been far beyond all praise." - - - This is the testimony of an enemy, and - after such a testimony Mr. M`Neile, had he no higher motive, might pardon the enmity of his adversaries. Here is the secret of their hostility. But for this, he might plot and poison as h e p l ease d . Th e " Jezebel Jere miad would have passed without rebuke, and not an arm would have been thrust between the traitor and the Throne. But Mr. M‘Neile has no such impunity to expect. He has placed his country under too many obligations, and he he has touched her enemies in a point the tenderest that can be pressed on consciences of shame and guilt. He has exposed the profligate principles by which, in 'an age of ignorance, they im posed upon the world—he has denounced them with a fervency and a force which. have impressed the public mind, we trust indelibly, with a conviction of their in famy ; and were he but aided as energetically as he ought, it would be difficult, notwithstanding his hold upon the human heart, for the Old Serpent again to enfold any considerable portion of England within his coil. In truth, we are now in a position to estimate the amount of our obligations to men like Mr. M'Neile. Blessings brighten," as the poet tells us, not while they are with us, but, " as they take their flight ;" and it is only when England—should it ever please Provi dence so far to abandon her—it is only when England is again within the grasp of Popery—her candlestick removed, her light extinguished, her people performing a pilgrimage to some holy well, or indulging in the in tellectual recreation of bowing before some' idol which their hands have made—it is only then, should a little of the salt be sparOd to preserve the case from putre faction, that aright sense will be entertained of the magnitude of the services which the Champions of Christianity have conferred on her. It is the fashion to hold these men up as the enemies of the people. Why they are the best friends the people ever had. It is for the people they have toiled and fought—would we could say, and conunered. Night and day have they devoted themselves to their interest. In season and out of season have they laboured in their service, and la boured, too, to secure for them.a freedom better than master ever conferred upon a slave : yet because they have done this they are misrepresented and reviled. But, " the disciple is not. above his Lord." This is a part of their wages, and they must he content. Let us Conservatives, however, learn a lesson from the example of Mr. W.Neile. we see what, even on the admission of an opponent, has been effected by a single man. Few, we know, can accomplish what has been accomplished by ability and energy like his ; but hare we done what in us lay ? Are we doing it now ? Are we acting like men who, instead of being con tent with reposing under the laurels plucked by others, are endeavouring each to gather a laurel for himself ? If not, how can we affect surprise when the battle goes against us ? Shall we, with the means of victory in our hands, suffer ourselves; to be driven ingloriously from the :field ? What answer can we give to men who, having borne the burden and heat of. the day, shall point to our remissness as the cause of their defeat ? TOBACCO MANUFACTORY AT MANILLA. Our Manilla correspondent informs us that he has just re turned from a visit to the government manufacture of cigars in that city, and observes that this manufacture is a close government monopoly, yielding a clear revenue of above 1,000,000 Spanish dollars annually, and th a t i t is increasing. The tobacco, which is of the finest quality, is grown in the northern provinces of the Phillippines, and may be increased infinitely ; it is bought of the grower by the Manilla govern ment at a very remunerating price, but can only be sold to yoqrnment 2 In the ena ,iarehouses in Manilla, 7500 women, and 000 men are employed, with a number of clerks and super - They are all housed and protected from the weather as coolly and healthfully as the first merchant in Manilla—they are paid by the number each prepares, and therefore their industry, without coercion,is unceasing —the work people are divided at tables, sitting ten at each—every six tables have a female superintendent, who is responsible to the clerk of the works for the number and quality of cigars delivered, and who pays the sixty workers at her tables, and has an open acconnt with the clerk.

The females, alarmed at their dangerous situation, screamed, which caused the animal to increase its speed in spite of all toe efforts made to prevent it. At the bottom of the hill the vehicle came in contact with the battlements of the bridge on the north side, with great violence, and precipitated the adults over—the females into the river, where they must have found a watery grave, had not the men, who fell on the bank, and had sustained but little injury, instantly recovered their feet and plunged into the water to rescue them. As soon as this was done, they next became concerned for the child, but were soon attracted to the road by its cry. Th e child was discovered three or four feet from the horse's head, and strange to say, unhurt, although it must have been thrown, a distance of not less than seven yards. Mrs. Shut tleworth is very much bruised and cut about the head and face, but is fast recovering ; the others have - sustained no other injury than a few bruises. The carriage was literally dashed to pieces-by the shock, but the horse is unhurt.— Derbyshire Chroiicle. ATROCIOUS ATTEMPT TO MURDER. (From the Manchester Guardian.) On Friday night, one of the most diabolical attempts upon human life which it has fallen to the lot of the public press to narrate, took place in the immediate vicinity of Oldham. For many years, a widow woman, named Hannah Hall, in the 72d year of her age, has resided by herself in a house at Higginshaw, on the road between Oldham and Heyside, and situated in the township of Royton. The house is a rather spacious one, and adjoining another inhabited dwelling; two having been, some years ago, made into cottages out of a disused machine shop. Mrs. Hall has been a woman of remarkably good health, and has retained, in an extraordinary degree, her former activity and quickness, both of mind and body ; and, consequently, she has not deemed it necessary to have any assistant in the house, but has managed the busi ness of a small milk-farm and a little shop herself. Near her house is a colliery, the property of Messrs. Samuel Lees and Son, Soho, at which colliery a number of lads and young men are generally employed ; and they have frequently been in the habit of going to Mrs. Hall's, to purchase bread, but ter, and cheese, for lunch. Soon after nine o'clock, on the night of Friday, the family living next door to Mrs. Hall heard an unusual noise in her house. It was about her time for retiring to rest, and they were surprised • and the man (John Collinge) made a remark, wondering what could ac casion it ; and whilst he and his wife were talking, there was anothor noise louder than the first, like a blow, or something heavy falling. He immediatelyrushed out, and entered Mrs. Hall's kitchen by the back-door. All was in darkness and still ; and he shouted, " Hallo ! what's to do here ?" but there was no reply. He went into the shop, and shouted again, but received no answer. All was dark, and he was groping his way back into the lobby, when he heard some thing like a man ; and then he returned, feeling his way towards the 'floor from whence, as he supposed, the sound proceeded. In some time, he touched a head, and felt that it was wet ; and, lifting up the body, he carried it towards the fire, when he found that it was the woman he had got hold of. Several neighbours were alarmed and hastened to the spot ; and the sufferer was laid on a sofa, and a light was procured, when it was found that the old woman was nearly covered with blood, her head appearing to be a mass of wounds. The constable was sent for, as was also the surgeon, who, on his arrival, found that she had received ten wounds on the head, one of which, above the left ear, had penetrated to the skull, without fracturing it ; and, glancing off, had torn the scalp the length of two inches. None of the wounds were likely to prove mortal, though some of them were se vere and hideous. In some time Mrs. Hall recovered a little, and was quite sensible and collected ; and in answer to ques tions, she stated, that " Batty," a young fellow whose name is John Griffiths, and who worked at the colliery, came into the shop, and asked for twopenn'orth of bread and butter; that she conversed with him whilst cutting the bread, and mentioned a job she -should want him to do for her some time ; that she stooped to the tub to get some butter, and that moment she received a blowon the left side of her head which knocked her senseless and she remembered nothing further. From other circumstances it is probable, that on her falling, the candle which she held in her hand went out, and that the villian in aiming a second blow, which would assuredly have kiled her, struck in the dark, a strong lid of a tnb, and broke it, leaving thereon, the mark of a blunt instrument ; it was this second blow, making a louder noise, which roused her neighbour Collinge. On being aaked who did it, she said they all knew him ; it was Batty, and he was in the shop then. The shop and house were searched, but no person was found, nor were there any marks to trace by ; nor any articles mis sing. Hatty was soon after taken into custody at the colliery. When charged with the crime, he looked confused, but said, he had done nothing. It was ascertained that he was absent from the colliery at the time attempt was made, and lie had told one of the workmen that lie was going to Turf-lane, which is in the direction of the house ; but he now accounted for his absence by saying, that he went " to the lower cote, to sit by the fire." His comrades, however, declared there was not any fire in "the lower cote." He was kept in custody at Oldham until Monday afternoon, when the magistrates, Messrs. Holme and Hordern, took the depositions of the old woman at her residence. She was better, and gave her tes timony with great clearness ; and was quite positive as to the man who struck her. She said he was Batty ; and when asked if she saw him amongst many who were in the room, she pointed her finger towards him, and said, "Ay, that's him." He was consequently committed to Kirkdale on the charge of having feloniously cut and wounded Hannah Holt, with intent to murder her, or do her some grievous bodily harm. On Tuesday morning, he was taken to Kirkdale. He appeared to be 20 or 22 years of age ; and stated that he came to live in this part as an apprentice from the Duke of York's school, at Chelsea, being first bound to a fustian weaver at Heyside, named Percival, from whom, with several other ap prentices, he was liberated for bad usage. THE ROYAL BRIDAL CHAMBERS. (From the Argus.) The suite of private apartments now preparing at Bucking ham Palace for the reception of Her Majesty and her Royal Consort, Prince Albert, on their nuptials, are on the north wing, overlooking the Palace Gardens and Grosvenor Place. They will extend from end to end of that range of the build ing, and are now being entirely remodelled and fitted up in a very costly style, under the direction of the Earl of Uxbridge, Lord Chamberlain to Her Majesty. Upwards of 300 men are at present employed upon the decorations, which are to be finished before the Ist of February next. The prevailing colour is of maiden's blush, with milk-white mountings throughout the suite, the cornices, ornamented ceilings, and mouldings of the architraves to the windows and doors, are all burnished gold ; the character of the embellishments are what the original architect, the late Mr. Nash, called his Athenian order, and are a compound between the Italian, Roman, and Greek members. The following outline of the ground-plan will afford our readers a slight idea of the ar rangements which, when completed, will combine perfection with privacy. It will be seen that the Baroness Lehzen has posted herself at the entrance, the door of her apartments opening directly opposite to the priVate reception room, or antechamber of the Queen, so that no person can enter by the private stair-case without her observation, there being but a narrow passage between the Baroness and the royal pair.

" I guess they were the ages before the invention of spec tacles." An Irishman was observed to feed his pig one day to reple tion, and to starve it the next. On being asked his reason for doing so, he said, " Och, sure, and isn't it that I like to have bacon with a strake o' flit and a strake o' lane equally one after 'tother." A gentleman employed an Irishman to trim a number of fruit trees. He , went out in the morning, and on returning at noon, was asked whether he had completed his work.

Irt PORTANT, IF Tai E.—A man in Massachusets, having the tear of the fifteen gallon law before his eyes, drank a quantity of mortis multicaulis tea just before going to bed; and when he woke up next morning the liquid had passed through his skull, and formed a silk night-cap which covered his head.

MISCELLANEOUS. THE NEW HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT.—The foundation walls of the new houses of parliament are nearly completed, and it is expected the first stone will be laid by her Majesty early in the spring. It is known everywhere on the Continent, in all courts, great and small, I hat the three Cobourgs, father and two sons, are to arrive about the 20th of January, and that the marriage is to take place on the Bth of February.--Corre .spondent of the Brighton Gazette. HONESTY REWARDED.-011 Friday morning the son of Mr. James Haslam, waste dealer, of Bnry-street, Little Bolton, lost a £3O note. A poor old man shortly presented, himself with the note, when, as a reward for his honesty, the boy's mother :generously offered him sixpence, which . he in dignantly refused. An innkeeper in Maidstone had a cod-fish sent him last week, which when open was found to contain 30 star-fish, 2 gallons of sea-weed, 4 dabs, and 6 large whitings. We have had great pleasure in hearing that her Majesty has been pleased to lend to the National Exhibition, about to open, two of the most distinguished paintings of Wilkie, " The Guerilla Council of War," and " The Maid of Sara gossa."—Ministerial paper. A strong force of the metropolitan police is to be immedi ately sent down to Monmouth, consisting of picked officers. This step has been taken in consequence of the apprehensions of the inhabitants of that town. Some of them have left town this morning by the Gloucester day mail.—Globe. Sometime since a party from the neighbourhood of Staple hurst having left their nal ive home and settled in America, wrote to the friends they had left behind, with this address, " Old England, Staplehurst, Kent, near Maidstone." The postmaster was puzzled, but after sundry conjectures and consultations, with a little peeping and prying, the letter found its right owner. THE CATHEDRAL IN CALCUTTA.—A few days since we stated that the Bishop of Calcutta had given £20,000 towards the erection of a cathedral in his diocese. It may now be added that the whole expense, including the endowment, is estimated at £60,000. We have great pleasure in stating tbat the subscriptions promised in Calcutta to the 12th of October were £15,300, that the Christian Knowledge Society has voted £5OOO, and the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel has promised to endow a prebendal stall, which is equivalent to £3ooo.—Courier. On Saturday morning a pedestrian match came off between Clark, the celebrated Staffordshire runner, and Freers, groom to Captain"Lauens, of the Guards, for 100 sovereigns, to run (each in a contrary direction) round the outside of Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens, starting from Tyburn-gate. Freers ran along the Uxbridge-road, through Kensington-lane, Kensington, Knightsbridge, Piccadilly, and Park-lane, into Oxford-street, to Tyburn-gate, a distance of four miles and a half, in 23 minutes and 45 seconds, beating Clark by upwards of a quarter of a mile.—Standard. Few persons perhaps are aware that £lOO,OOO were left to the University of Oxford by Michael Angelo Taylor, to build a picture gallery and lecture rooms connected with science and arts. A dispute having arisen between his relatives and . the trustees respecting the will, the latter, rather than risk a suit in Chancery, have agreed to take £75,000, and have begun clearing the foundation for the building. They have removed the old houses at the corner of Beaumont-street, St. Giles's, nearly opposite St. John's College, which is the most centrical they could meet with. CABINET WHIGMALERIES.—In imitation of the seven wise men of Greece, seven of the wise men of Downing-street have assumed certain "sayings" as their maxims. We have been favoured with the following copy, which we believe to be correct :—Lord Melbourne—" Where ignorance is bliss, 'tis folly to be wise"—and " trial by jury." The Lord Chan cellor—" luck's all." Lord Normanby—" yes and no " and "Matilda." Lord J. Russell—" parvum parva decent" and " a Frost, a killing Frost." Cupid—" least said is soonest mended," " the main chance," and " Psyche." Lord Hol land—" the gray mare is the better horse." Mr. Macauley —" Windsor castle." The:noble lords, &c. who form the petticoat ministry, have been thinking of " maxims," but have not yet quite decided. Lord Miiato has nearly made up his mind in favor of" the blind leading the blind ; " the Chancellor of the Exchequer does not know what to say about " penny postage ; " Lord Duncannon inclines I o adopt— " tis Dan preserves the sheep, and shepherd too ;" and Lord Morpeth has almost reconciled himself to " live upon al/f -ire/40e still."—John Bull. DEATH OF MRS. BROUGHAM, THE MOTHER OF LORD BROUGHAM.—Died, on the 31st December, at the hour of ten in the morning, at Brougham Hall, Westmorland, in the 87th year of her age, Mrs. Brougham, widow of the late Henry Brougham, Esq., and mother of Lord Brougham. She was a lady of the most amiable disposition, and was universally respected and esteemed, almost adored, by those who had the honour of her acquaintance. No lady in the north of England was more refined in her manners and beha haviour, and no one was more endeared to high and low, rich and poor. Above all, she was truly a religious character ; and the consolations which Christianity affords enabled her to bear -with fortitude and resignation the bereavements which it was her lot to suffer. Reposing with confidence in the all-wise disposals of Providence, she felt her sorrows as a mother, who lamented the death of her children ; but she bore her sorrows with the resignation of a Christian, who hopes and expects to meet those who died in the Lord, and whom she so much loved, in another and a happier world, where there shall be no more sorrow, but where tears shall be wiped from all eyes, through Him who washed us in his own blood. Mrs. Brougham was the friend of the poor "and the fatherless, and of him that had none to help him. The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon her, and she caused the widow's heart to sing for joy. She was eyes to the blind, and feet was she to the lame." Her me mory will be long held in reverence and esteem, and will go down to posterity with that of her highly-gifted son. We are happy to understand that the gentlemen of Glasgow and the neighbourhood intend,. in a few days, to call a public meeting, to consider the propriety of erecting a pillar in this city commemorative of the military virtues of his Grace the Duke of Wellington. We have no doubt that this announce ment will be received with approbation by all classes of our fellow-citizens, and that they will consider it right that the name of the first soldier of his own, and one of the most remarkable men of any age, should be duly honoured in a city which can already boast of monuments to Nelson, Moore, and Watt.—Glasgow Courier. We have heard that when Mr. Shell took up his appoint ment at Greenwich Hospital, as one of the Commissioners, (almost a sinecure office,) he found the apartments allotted him were not sufficiently capacious to hold the whole of his establishment, which he had then increased by the addition of his son-in-law, Mr. Power, a gentleman with an annual income of £5OOO. So he had influence enough to procure the expulsion of 17 or 19 of the pensioners, and their quarters to be added to his already magnificent apartments ; in so doing, not only perverting the original object of that noble institution, but actually injuring, to a very great extent, the massive structure of the hospital by such a conversion.— Brighton Gazette. At this moment there are three Roman Catholic churches in course of erection, the extent and splendour of which will be understood when we state that of one of them, situated in St. George's Fields, the estimated cost is £Bo,ooo,—and of a second, situated at Birmingham, no less than £150,000. The third, at Derby, is also a very splendid edifice ; but its. esti mated cost we have not learned. With the knowledge of such facts before us, we again ask, will not the Protestant feeling, of Great Britain be roused? Happily, we now have it in our power to supply the answer with regard to one district of this county at least. A petition is in course of signature in va rious parts of the Rape of Bramber ; and we trust that it will be immediately followed up throughout Sussex, praying the House of Commons to discontinue the grant to Maynooth College. Outraged as it is by the indecent and unprece dented alliance between a Papist and a Jew, the Rape has done well to set the example ; but this is a matter which concerns all Protestants.—Brighton Gazette. The following extraordinary story is related by the Meg sager:—About 20 years ago a girl in one of the departments, although not 15 years of age, was delivered of a male child, which she placed in the foundling hospital of the place, after having first made an indelible mark on its arm. She then came to Paris, and entered into service. Having after some years accumulated about 4,000 f., her thoughts were turned towards her child, hut when she inquired for him he had left the hospital, and no tidings could be obtained of him. A young soldier, attracted probably by her little fortune, re cently paid his addresses to her, ,and a few days ago they were married. On retiring to the nuptial chamber she dis covered on the arm of her husband the mark which she had made upon the arm of her child 20 years ago. This dis covery led to an immediate defacto divorce, and a demand of nullity of marriage between mother and son has been pre sented to the tribunals. THE ALLOTMENT SYSTEM.-At the anniversary of the East Somerset Labourer's Friend Society, held last week in Bath, Mr. Ludlow Bruges, in advocating the objects of the society said, in 1830, he had first become acquainted with this institution. At that period it was well known the agri cultural population was in great distress. Labour was scarce, and wages consequently so low, that he saw clearly that, in the parish of Wiltshire, in which he resided. the working men must be supported out of the poors' rate. He then saw that there was no better plan for their permanent and adequate relief than letting out land to them. Fortunately, he had a farm which became vacant, and from that farm, before it was let again, he reserved a su ffi cient allotment of land, for the distressed and unemployed poor. The result had been, that not one amongst them had, from that day to this, received one shilling out of the poors' rate—not one bad been charged with any offence against the lawsand not one single shilling of their rent remained unpaid. Nor was that all. It was not merely that they were punctual in pay ing their rent ; not merely that they were well-conducted, but their external appearance in every respect indicated an increase of domestic and personal comfort. Their posses sion of pigs and other animals indicated improved circum stances. He was therefore fully justified in asserting that, through the means of land allotments, those men, who would certainly have been burthensome to the poors' rate, and possibly offenders against the laws, had not only avoided these evils, but had been greatly improved in their condition. SECOND AND MOST EXTRA isedl f O velwiergeaa ß teartlrh D duashsosebe l caoaot NARY' REMOVAL OF A BOG NEAR KANTURK. — Kanturk, Dec. 26.—0 n Saturday last this hitherto peaceable town was thrown into the greatest state of excitement. Dense crowds of people were observed I_ hastening on the Boherbuee-road, which was crowded for about three miles. Public consternation was at its height, when descending the valley between Derrygallon and Bally t holahan, was seen a dark mass rapidly approaching, with dispelled, something like pikes elevated in the air. As the body moved ib w ure i nit t e h naal t ic h orh e avinse r r apidity of a steam-engine, doubt was soon and it appeared that about 200 acres of Colonel Jongfield's bog, at Farradoyle, had, truant-like, gambolled through the country, a distance of four 'miles, and was about paying a Christmas visit to the Kanturk folks. The scene was ter rific, nay, grand (if grandeur and bogs could be associated together) and impressive beyond description. Onward moved the mighty and overwhelming mass, carrying utter destruc tion in its course, and conveying to the mind of the beholder an idea of one of those catastrophes which geologists inform us have from time to time changed the surface of the earth. Occasionally it moved in a compact body ; sometimes, on meeting obstructions, it rose in angry surges like the ungo vernable sea, elevating enormous pieces of hogwood (which caused the mistake about the pikes.) The course of the Brogreen stream was soon impeded, as the bog got into the Tatbogivi.. valley, enniorlhartledgdilreatie-fti cpsisufiset:al drufoilsyso a sefittttli n rual. 01 and iavmrial aorieetitnlnoidhiclbgrvcrauetoeetnimi bog timber, calculated eblenalit great net t dasi e trr‘betb r faoetiao:nao h ftarbrr a t,teadymai v et,:npo i eicap n opnottbt g caohniyooill selgevtoyii become considerably swollen, and accumulated behind, forced on the whole mass with t slnocutboeuui observed rpdle d ioari2ai ro, at least distance te a : sc.,: n n aadl r cs d caoi betnre:yiegxe d utts m i hbops s i oesf: o p frto e :tdh. mero.:einsf different aeoaau d feerbedsffecse t reo—ne t terwdt e t..l speede d with bogas into the Blackwater, the people being unable to come at it Swayne, of Kanturk, who was shooting on it at the time, and who narrowly escaped being lost.

CAUSE AND EFFECT.—Perhaps there are no two words which more distinctly point out cause and consequence than these—gin and bitters ! Horses consume in England the produce of seven million acres ; there are one million horses for labour, and two hun dred thousand used for pleasure in England.' In the lowland neighbourhood, eastward of Wakefield, there are large quantities of potatoes perishing in the ground, in consequence of the wet season. The Rev. H. Pepys, brother of the lord chancellor, has received the appointment to the see of Sodor and Man, va cant by the translation of Dr. Bowstead.—Ministerial paper. LARGE MUSHROOM.—Last week, Mr. Benjamin Hartley, stone-mason, got a mushroom 19 inches in circumference, in a field belonging to Thomas Ashton, Esq., of Park House. — Preston Pilot. RURAL POLICE.—We understand that Captain Woodford, the chief constable of the police force in Lancashire, has se lected Captiin Willis to be the assistant chief constable. — Lancaster Gazette. A prospectus has just been issued for the formation of a joint stock company for the manufacture of worsted and yarns, at the city of Durham. It is proposed that the capital shall be £lO,OOO, in shares of 4:100 each. A star set with diamonds, and a dressing case beautifully mounted in gold, are ordered of Rundell and Bridge by the Queen, as a present for Prince Albert. Their cost will be about £1,500. So rapid has been the spread of civilisation in the Sand wich Islands that morelhan 800 English and American set tlers already reside in the capital, Honololu, and have esta blished a theatre among their public amusements. Mr. George Child, innkeeper, of Criggleston, near Wake field, has now a second crop of apples this year, amounting to nearly a score, upon a tree in his garden, which are nearly as large and as well flavoured as the first crop.—Leeds In telligencer. The head keeper of the forest of Munderich, near Doun stetten, in Wurtemburgh, killed an enormous wolf a few days ago. The animal measured 5 feet 7 inches from the point of the nose to the tip of the tail, was 2 feet 7 in height, and weighed 87 lb. CALICO PRINTING IN ITALY.—One of the most extensive engravers to calico printers in Manchester is now executing thirty-eight 9-Bth engraved copper rollers for a calico print ing establishment iu Naples ! Messrs. M'Farlane and Briggs, of Manchester, are making a three-coloured machine for the same. " Albert"—a name almost obsolete in this country—will become not only fashionable but common after February next; indeed, the ladies entertain the opinion that more Al berts will be registered in the course of next year than have been chronicled for the last century. We believe that the new commission of colonial lands and emigration will consist of Colonel Torrens, who has hitherto acted as chairman of the South Australian Board ; of Mr. Elliot, the agent-general of emigration ; and of the Hon.

John Matthew Galway, Esq., of the county of Waterford, has made an abatement of 30 per cent. in the rents of all his tenants who were spirit-dealers at Dungarvon and Abbeyside, in consequence of the progress of temperance in that quarter, to the great detriment of their receipts! ! ! Lord Francis Egerton, M.P., has determined to erect a splendid mansion on his estate in Lancashire, Worsley Hall, his present residence, being neithei commodious for the family nor agreeable to his lordship's taste. The new build ing into be in the Gothic style of architecture, and will be commenced immediately, a gentleman having left town to superintend its erection. We regret to observe the ship Sackville, Captain Fiddes, from Sierra Leone, with a valuable cargo of African timber, for this port, consigned to Messrs. Garratt and Gibbon, having arrived off Penzance-on the 19th instant, was blown back, in the late easterly gales, as far as Scilly, became water logged, and sunk ; crew saved by a French vessel, and landed at Falmouth.—Hampshire Telegraph. REPORTED CHANGES.—It is whispered about among the whigs that Lord Fortesque is to leave Ireland, and to take the place of Lord Normanby at the home department. That Lord Normanby is to go to Paris, and Lord Grenville to India, whither Lord Normanby would have gone, but that, "my lady" objected. The lord lieutenancy of Ireland, it is said, will be accepted by the Duke of Devonshire.— Morning paper. PIGEONING A FORTUNE.—In 1834 a pigeon was shot on the premises of Mr. Hughes, a cottage renter at Wotton, Hants, in the crop of which a few grains of barley were found, which Hughes sowed on his allotment. The produce was re sown four successive years, and in the last harvest has pro duced eight quarters and six bushels, which, at the present price of malting barley, must be worth nearly £2O. Two men, near Buxton, have been, by a fall of earth, shut up in a cavern five days, and four nights, although miners, quarrymen, and colliers from a distance of twenty miles flocked to the place to render their assistance. When taken out the men were found in a state of great exhaustion, but they are fast recovering. Letters from' Italy state that Venice has suffered dreadfully from the rains and consequent inundations, which covered the streets and squares with water, the waves injuring the palaces. The sinking of the water has left the streets covered with pu trid matter;` the shops'and depiits have had their contents spoiled, and the desolation is universal. The Sardiniau government, with a view to repress the practice of duelling as much as possible, has denounced in the penarcode just' promulgated, a heavy ponalty upon the survi vor in a fatal meeting, but made it reducible in proportion to the provocation given, and the nature of the circumstances attending the fight. The action brought by. Lady Lytton Bulwer's solicitors against the proprietors of the Court Journal for a libel, con • tamped in his number of October 19, giving an account of an alleged scene at Lady Almer's soiree, in Paris, between Lady Lytton Bulwer and Mr. Henry Bulwer, but which never took place, has been stopped, owing to a notice from Sir Edward Lytton Bulwer to his wife's legal advisers not to proceed in his name. NEW HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT. —The embanking wall which is to enclose the terrace on the river front of this magnificent structure, is now considerably above the level of high water. We understand the delay, or rather stoppage, which took place in the works was occasioned by the defici ency in the supply of the granite which was being used in the structure ; but this difficulty has been now removed by the importation of large quantities of granite from the quar ries in the neighbourhood of Dalkey, a town on the southern shore of the bay of Dublin. At this moment we are in a state of War with China ; and the loss to the British Exchequer in 1841, consequent upon this state of things, will be no less than FOUR MIL LIONS STERLING ! There can be no doubt but that Govern ment have taken some measures to restore the trade with China. What those measures are, we do not, of course, pretend to be acquainted with, and must patiently abide the time when her Majesty's ministers may deem it proper to communicate the facts to the British public. Lancashire, Yorkshire, Devonshire. and Scotland have severally lost a good and profitable customer in China; and this loss, so long as the intercourse is suspended, will continue to be felt with increasing severity daily. Birmingham too, will neces sarily suffer greatly by this event. —Commercial Gazette. Our merchants have much cause to complain of what is doing at Buenos Ayres, if the news thence received be cor rect. It appears that owing to the blockade carried on by the French, British property to a vast amount is locked up and has been locked up for nearly two years. Why is this permitted? We have known when it would not have been endured. By the last accounts, the French had lauded a body of men and taken complete possession of Monte Video. Yet our ships of war, if present at all, are bade to look quietly on. These things remind us of Dr. Croly's celebrated Preface. When the government of England leads to Papacy, or even connives at it, reverses, indignities, and national degradations invariably follow. We must ex pect it.—Lancaster Gazette. HUNT EXTRAORDINARY.-011 Friday, as the :deer belonging to Colonel Brown, of the 2d rifles, quartered in Windsor, and whose military exploits have before been re corded, was accompanying the regiment up to relieve guard at the castle, he incautiously quitted the ranks, which being observed by a large Newfoundland dog, named Baby, belong ing to the proprietor of the White Hart Hotel, he gave chase, and was led, at a killing pace, along High-street to Sheet street, where as a bold soldier, the deer wheeled about, and faced his pursuer, and Baby not being altogether thorough bred, and intimidated by the fierce position of the animal, turned tail, but afterwards renewed the chase, at a respectful distance, to the barrack gates, where the noble animal sought and received protection in its own quarters. THE SEASON.—The proverbial fickleness of our clifnate has been strikingly illustrated this season, and indeed this week. On Saturday last a friend called and informed us that there was at that time a pear tree, on the estate of Mr. Simpson, in Quernmore, which was then in blossom and was also bearing fruit which had acquired tolerable shape. This for such a remote and hilly neighbourhood, and at such a time of year, is remarkable, as manifesting the mildness of the season. Last week also primroses were blooming in the garden. On Sunday, however, a sharp and nipping frost set in, so that the canal in many parts was coated thinly with ice. On Monday morning the temperature was very low, but with indications of approaching wet, and accordingly about noon rain set in and continued to fall heavily till night. On Tuesday we Were again enjoying the mildness of autumn. — Lancaster Gazette. The anti-corn law men are labouring hard in their efforts to bring about a repeal. Agitation of every description is resorted to "; hired lecturers are traversing from town to town ; the radical press . is teeming with articles against the landed interest ; the working classes are called upon to de mand cheap bread ; and nothing is left undone which can in any manner bring about the repeal of these laws, and the consequent ruin of the landed interest. It therefore behoves all who feel interested in this momentous question, on which the very stability 'of the country depends, to be on the alert, making preparations for contesting with the repealers this great question in the next session of parliament. Petitions should be prepared from every town and village in the king dom, public meetings should be held, the humbler classes of society should be exhorted to co-operate in defending the corn laws as the only means of maintaining for them a fair remuneration for their labour.—Leeds THE BRANDY AND SALT UNIVERSAL PANACEA.—We have had several communications on this subject, and at the request of many of our correspondents we repeat the recipe. For the wonderful properties of the medicine, we refer our readers to our paper of December sth. Method of making the remedy a bottle three-quarters full of brandy, after which add as much salt as will fill the bottle for corking; shake it together for ten minutes before it is used ; let the salt settle to the bottom, and be particularly careful to use it when clear—the clearer the better. Many persons have made a great mistake in shakine it before it is used. The efficacy is not near so good, and to open Sores the application is much more painful, from the particles of salt which are not dissolved in the brandy • but the salt and brandy should remain to gether, and w hen all the brandy is used off, more may be added to the salt. Though it is ready for use in twenty minutes after it is put together,•it is good at any time after, and it is a perfect medicine, as it has the rare quality of being greatly efficacious for either internal or external application. SUICIDE.—The family of Mr. Parke, bookseller, were on Monday morning shocked by the discovery that one of Mr. Parke's apprentices, about fifteen years of age, and of the name of Arthur Kenneth Hay, had committed suicide in the course of the previous evening. The unfortunate youth took tea with the family as usual on Sunday, and went out a short time afterwards, with the intention, it was supposed, of going to a place of worship.' At supper time he was absent, and did not make his appsarance in the house afterwards. The body was found quits stiff, in a small room at the top of Mr. Parke's printing office, used merely as a lumber-room, about eight o'clock the next morning, and a phial bottle was disco vered near, which had contained prussic acid, no doubt the cause of death. The' mind of the deceased had latterly seemed to be much unsettled by the reading of socialist pub lications, which he had' procured without Mr. Parke's know ledge, and appeared to have studied with much attention. The deceased, who was a youth of considerable promikt, was son of Mr. • Thomas Hay, of Shrewsbury, and nephew of Mr. W. Hay, silversmith, of this town.—WolverhaMpton Chronicle. TIDE TABLE. Days. Mrn.
