DIBCCRISION Of Tlii BAHRAHAN FLOC[.—Mr. Jonas
Webb.* celebrated look of Southdown sheep was on
Wednesday disposed of by auction, and France, America,
Germany, and Russia competed with John Bull for
their future ownership. Many of the best of the look
will in a few montlis led their way to New York,
Buenos Ayres, Melbourne, and New Zealand, as well as
to most Europe/Hi countries. In all 908 sheep were
; 99 2-year-old and aged rains fetched £4,052 7e,
110 shearling rains realised £2,710 Is., 199 shearling
ewes made £2,113 19e., 105 2-year-old ewes were sold
for £Bl3 155., and 456 older ewes realised £2,142.
Among the purchasers were the Dukes of Richmond,
Bedford, Newcastle, and Devonshire, the Marquis of
Bristol, the Earl of Winchelsea (who was present), the
Earls of Sandwich, Falmouth, Yarborough, and Radnor,
and Lords Braybrooke, Sondes, Walaingham, Fever-
sham kc. The prices reached were in some cases
unparalleled. Several of the rains fetched upwards of
100 guineas each; one was purchased by Mr. Hudson,
of Castle Acre, fur the unprecedented Mun of IMO
guineas • and among the yearling ewes was • pen of five
purchased by Sir T. Leonard for 170 guineas, or 34
guineas apiece. The whole of the lialsrahian flock
above the age of lambs was thus disposed of for the sum
of £10,922, averaging fn. fit. &I. • piece. The lambs of
' the year remain on hand, to be disposed of next year,
when Mr. Jonas Webb will finally give up that con.
flexion with Southdown breeding which has made his
name so widely and so honourably known.
Roots verses GRUBS.—TIie grubs of the tipula
family are amongst the most destructive enemies both
the gardener and farmer have to contend against,
, Their eggs are deposited in the sail. As soon as the
I grubs are hatched they commence an active attack on
I the roots of most plants. The perfect insect appears in
August, and is well known in Scotland as Daddy
Longlegs—in England as Gaffer Longlegs, Tom Taylor,
or Tommy Longlegs. Their operations being carried
I on under ground, enable them to elude the vigilance of
I man, but the instinct of the rook is a match for then.-
It has beeu calculated that • family of rooks will
consume 3,647 grubs per day. Supposing the con.
sumption to be continued throughout the year, it would
amount to 1,445,155 ; and supposing • single grub to
I destroy as many plants of wheat or other crop as might
grow upon a space of 9 inches square, a family of rooks
' would preserve from destruction more than two acres of
, corn. If we extend our ideas further, and suppose all
these grubs to live and propagate their species, it is
more than probable that it this one species of bird alone
• were extinct, the labour of the husbandman would be
1 nearly, if 'not altogether, in vain. Man, therefore,
should beware how be disturbs the balance of power
I maintained throughout the whole animal kingdom.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.

of this House, it is not desirable that the new Foreign
Office should be erected according to the Palladian
design now exhibited in • committee room of the House.

and it was therefore withdrawn. —Mn. Hubbard brought
forward his Church-rate Bill, with • view to its dis-
charge, as it was impossible to proceed farther with it
at that period of the session. He adire-ted to the foot
that even in that House the opposition to church-rates,
which was once so strong, had dwindled down till the
two parties stood on an equality. In this situation he
thoughtthe time hail come for a omnprotuise. He believed
that the feeling of the Church of England was to make
any concession on this subject short of abdicating her
position al the National Church of the country.—The
Vaccination Bill praised through conamittee
THIAIIDAT.—Sir J. Pakington brought forward the
subject of education in the House of (.701amous. He
called attention to the reeort of the Education Coin•
rnissioners, of whose opinions and recommendations lie
expressed his warm approval ; and asked whether it had
been determined by her Majesty's Government to chat
extent they intruded to act upon that report. In
the course of his remarks he complained that so small a
sum should be voted for refonnatry institutions. Mr.
Ilesley,in • some w hat elaborate speech, commented spoil
various parts of the Commissioners report, and drew
attention to the results of the present system. It ap-
peared that the public were paying for the instruction
of 900,000 children the sum of £500,000; for training
',alleges, £100,000; and for inspection. £46,000. But
the commissioners stated that not more than one-forth
of these children received • good education; that the
instruction given WSJ commonly too ambitious, too
superficial in its character, and too exclusively adapted
to the older scholars, to the neglect of the younger.
They did not, in fact, receive the education which they
required. If, as said, the master were too highly
trained, he would suggest whether they might not
employ a humbler class of teacheni ; and lie thought the
Government and the Privy Council might look into the
matter, and are if it would be better to teach the
children to read, write, and cypher well, let alone some
of the higher branches of education, and then obtain a
statement of what they were actually capable of doing.—
The house then weutinto coin inittee of supply on the civil
service estimates; and Mr. Lowe said that fast year the
estimate was £798,000, and the number of children,
880,000; and this year the total estimate was IffiO3,ooo.
or E. 5000 in esoess of last year, and the number of
of children 982,000. The right hon. gentleman then
passed in review the criticisms of the coin iniasioners upon
the existing system. The Government hail determined
upon adopting certain alterations in details with • view
of greater eMeeney in the system. •

FRIGHTFUL ACCIDINT WEAR TEL MAULS ARCH.—
An accident of a frightful character took place Pear
the Marble Arch on Monday morning. It appearsthat ‘
Sir De Lacy Evans has taken a house in Great. CoOl-
berland-street, Oxford-street, and within about half-a-
dozen doors of the last-named street. Messrs. Simpson,
of Baker-street, builders and house decorators, ire
employed in putting it in repair, and had for this
purpose erected • scaffold up the ;bole of the front of
the house. —Shortly after 11 an old ~se named
William Moore, his eon, and grandson, the latter aged
about 12, together within Irish labourer, were at work
on the top stage of the scaffold in making • cornice,
when • snapping noise was heard, acid before any of
them had time to make their escape the structare gave
way, precipitating the unfortunate fellows to a depth '
or about 50 or 00 feet. The old man, Moore, when he
tell became impeded on the sree railings, the top of
the spike entering his left side. A gentleman named
Watson who happened to be passing, immediately
released the poor man. Little Moore was picked up In
the area in a mutilated condition. The four
unfortunate men were taken to the hospital, where
the old man end the grandson remain without hopes
of recovery.—Moore, the unfortunate men who was so
dreadfully wounded by falling upon the spikes of the
railing of General Sir de Lacy Evans's house, died on
Thursday. His two sous still survive, but small hope
Is entertained of the ultimate recovery of either.
SUDDIN DILITH.—On Monday the death of Mr. John
Franeillon, Harlem- Master of the port of Gloucester,
took place in an awfully sadden WIDOW. It appears
that on that day • vessel was to be launched at
Gloucester, and the occurrence attracted • large number ,
of spectators. Mr. Franoillon„ in the discharge of his '
duty as Harbour Master, war busily engaged superin-
tending the arrangements, and appeared in his usual
health and strength, when eagle* be was observed by
those near him to stagger and fell, and, from all

caused in North-street, Hull, between band 6 p.m., by
• report which spread like wildfire, that • little girl, two
years old, the illegitimate offspring of a single woman
named Jane Simpson, had been strangled. The mother
of the child was the first to spread the news of its death.
From the accounts that the mother gave to the police,
it appears that she bad left the child alone, looked the
house at 5, and on returning a few minutes afterwards
she found that it was poeitively strangled by the clothes
line which was hung across the room, but was so loom
that it nearly reached the door, and by some strange
fatality it had got entwined around the child's neck
as to cause its death in about lee minutes. A *Droner's
inquest was held, and the Jim' returned a verdict of

—A dreadful tragedy was perpetrated at Westwood.
side, a village in the isle of Alholme, near Epworth,
Lincolnshire, on Tuesday last, • woman named Wilson
having murdered her throe children in • shocking
manner. The woman, it appears, had got up in the
night, and, taking the three sleeping little ones from
their bed, had forced them through the man-hole
into the cistern. She calmly looked on, with their
death-cries ringing in her ears, until life was extinct.
The husband was away from home on bodiless when
the sad occurrence took place, and, eirduld to relate,
his wife was the first to communicate the distressing
intelligence to Lim. She lud, it seems, before the
commission of the deed had become knower, left the
house and made her way to Whatley, in Nottingham-
shire, where her husband was, and in reply to •
question from him as soon as she made her apoesrance
as to how she had got there and what she had done
with the children, she said "they were safe In heaven."
Alarmed at her language and manner, be irked her
what she meant, and, after • little hesitation, she con-
famed that with her own hands she bad put them to
death. The husband, half broken-hearted, hastened
house, only to dud his wife's teen* tale too true.
The unfortunate woman is now in custody. It is
believed the has for some time past given evidence of
insanity.
ATTER ETID DOUBLE MURDER AND SUlant IN FRANCS
—A fearful nerdy has just thrown into consternation
the village of Charnies-en-PAigle (Baste-Msexis.) Two
days back, about 6 o'clock, U. Lebrun, a ark in •

also employed in the establishment. Sate minutes
afterwards Desbarres struck IL' Lebrun • violent blow
on the head with an iron her,, and thou ran of into the
neighbouring holds. It. Lebrun was foetid bleeding and
iesensible, and as, when ho came ,to himself, lie could
give no account of what had happened, his injury was
thought to be accidental: After awhile Desbarres re-
turned and conversed with the persons whom the OCCUr.

the land steward of M. Bourlon. While ii, Legrand
was talking with Desbarres, the former wan told that
