SHEEP AND HORSES POISONED.—At Firbeck,. near Tickhill, Mr. Singlehurst, farmer, has sustained a most serious less, by reason of having upwards of forty sheep, besides several horses and cattle, poisoned. It was at first supposed that they had been killed by electricity during the-storm oi - eh raged with great force over the neighbouthood on Wednesday morning last, but from sheep, horses, and cows having died suddenly since, an investigation has' been made, which 'leads incontestably to the belief that they have all been poisoned by 'rape cake, which had been forwarded to Mr.Singlehurst from Liverpool as indiaure ' but was used as food for - cattle. An analysis of the cake shows that it-contains mineral poison. _ Notwithstandino• the heavy loss. already en tailed upon the owner, it feared that this willbe in creased by severaliothers, as both sheep, horses, and cattle are affected to such amextent that theyare not expected to recover. • NEW STEAM BArrpauEs.—The new-steam batteries, tenders for which we stated in our last had been issued by the Admiralty, -have been awarded, one to Mr. Palmer, of Jarrow, the rother to Messrs. Westwood and Baillie, of Millwail. The former has been allowed slifteen months tecomplete his contract, which has been -taken at £43 per tons the latter • heart agreed to complete their vessel within twelve months, the price being £44 per toe. The tonnage of each vessel is 3,668 tons, ,builders' measurement. This will en- Ole us to form' .some estimate of the -enormous cost of these vessels, since :the former will cost £157,724, and the 1atter,116,4392. This, it must ba,reniembered, is: os the mere kullsotthe boat; and as her equipment will necessarily be very .expensive, and her engines of immense power, we -shellstake a low estimate of the cost what we assume, that each vessel will, when ready for sea,; cost about a third of :a million of money. This is purchasing vessels .at .the , rate of about three for every million of pounds sterling. These, however, are only the smaller steam batteries:, those already 'building of 6,000 tons will cost upwards of a quarter of a million, or £264,000 for the hall alone ; and, when fated .for sea will costnot less than half-a-million of money each. John Bull will have paraded, before his eyes, four ships of large tonnage, of unquestionable strength, and of very questionable utility, seeing, that their success is an ad mitted problem.—Steam Skipping Chronicle. APPREIJENSION OF A RAIN4LWAY PRUSSIAN POST , - ()mei' OFFICIAL.—On Thursday last a young man named Martin Horst, aged twenty-three, who has very respectable •counections in Prussia, was apprehended at the Maidstone Cavalry Depot on .a charge of absconding with 800 thalers (£120), the property of, the Prussian Post-office authorities. The prisoner, it appears,. had ;for some time been employed in the post-office at Aix- Jae-Chapelle, and en the 16th November he suddenly disappeared with the above-named sum. As he wore the uniform connected with the office, by representing 'himself as ,a messenger on special business he was en .abled to pals the Prussian frontiers, and make his way to Oitend, without any passport. Here he embarked for Dever, on arriving at which place he wrote to his parents at Aix-la-Chapdsle, stating that he had obtained an excellent situation in a mercantile house in Dublin. The letter, however, was intercepted by the authorities, who comMunicated. with the Prussian Embassy in London, and information was at once given to the police authorities at Great Scotland-yard. The case was placed in the hands of the chief inspector of the detec tive department, Mr. John Whicher ' who soon ascer tained that a person answering the description of the prisoner, after spending a considerable .sum of money among females of lose character in London, had enlisted at Charles-street, Westminster, in the 12th Lancers, and had been sent with other recruits to the Maidstone depot. Acting on this information, the in spector applied to the War-office, and on Thursday Horst was formally discharged by Colonel Balders, C. 8., and given into the charge of Superintendent Blundell, at the Maidstone police station. Later in the day he was conveyed by Inspector Whicher to Dover, and placed on board one of the steam-boats for Ostend, at which place an officer was to be in readiness to receive • him.

The right hon. gentleman divided them into four classes : the first he compared to an hour glass, their reading being as the sand—it runs in and•out, and leaves not a vestige behind. A second class, he said, resembled a sponge—which imbibed every thing, and returns it in nearly the same state, only a little dirtier. A third class he likened to a jelly-bag:— which allows all that is pure to pass away, and retains only the refuse and the dregs. The fourth class he compared to the slaves in the diamond mines of Golconda, who, casting aside all that is worthless, preserve only the pure geni*.—Scott, he said, should be read in an apartment hung with relics of the feudal ages, and. lighted by windows painted with heraldic ornaments, seated in an elaborately carved, high-backed old chair ; Moore, in a bower of vine leaves intermixed with roses; Wordsworth, on the margin of some rip pling stream or lake; Milton, in some sequestered nook of an old cathedral, whose dim religious light har monises with the lofty and sublime musings of the 'great Christian poet. As to Shakepere—the sea Melbourne,shorthe green shades of the forest, the busy resorts.of the town, all those spots which Disraeli claims for others, could be successively claimed for Shakspere for all have inspired hie universal genius.—Court Circular. regardsttePhßata Bathurst,t N h se e ß e w o Sdtxeru wirec n o T 1 extending o i as nearlylbabeing line s g . —The TgE E el L errie ßl t c ele T g EL ra liAe w p an h srs is being rapidly developed in n t oe c nd e betweenttonob efrontier ready Sydney,foo of New Nemessages wg South in and o N , p e u e oad n w l em ileAes S dy. d o ee suslTatao:hmhi Adelaide, Wales. .wista western mstb e e tsuxee. appears ypnes pci put etp upon the posts at present in use between W N Sl27 ovember; and the northern line, which ill connect p la c it e lan an d d an 3 d ia t i h tl e an H a un th te e r re ß is iver a - dis good trict ro wi ad, th' has been completed as fa r as Wolloiribi, batiVeen which s° that there will be no f ur th er hindrance to the ta com pletion of the work.
