lON THE DEATH OF THE PRINCE CONSORT

He is gone to his rest—the noble, the tree one,
His sun is now set in darkness and gloom,
Yet the spirit of peace and virtue will linger
A halo of glory to encompass his tomb.
His life was one day of useful devotion,
The good of Old England he cherish'd alone;
The Genius of Science will mourn her best champion,
And her twin-sister Art will utter • groan.
The die it is cast—no more shall we gase on
That face ones so manly, and noble, and kind,
Bat the rich and the poor will proudly acknowledge
He yet loaves a true of his spirit behind.•
And while to his worth we pay • just homage,
And fondly recount how he oft led the way
In mercy's glad mission to widow and orphan.
The night of our sadness shall be turn'd into day.
We will prey for our Queen, the beloved Victoria,
May her soul be upheld, and bow to His will,
Who besretli the sighs of both peasants and princes,
Who wounds but to lical—W ho smith "Peace, be still.'

RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE.

THE limonite OF Cocogeo.—Some weeks since the
Duke of Newcastle sent to the Right Rev. Dr. P. C.
Claughtnn, Bishop of St. Helena, an intimation that
he should be happy to recommend him to her klaj,sty
for translatiou to the bishopric of Colombo, rendered
vacant by the resignation of the Right Rev. Dr. James
Chapman. Dr. Claugliton has accepts,' the offer, and
is now out his way homewards for the purpose of making
the necesaary arrangements before proceeding to Ids
new diocese. The bishopric of Colombo comprises the
island of Ceylon, with a population of 1.730,0110, and
about sixty cleigy, must of wl are maintained by the
Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign

Lotto TRTNHAM ix NEWCABII.It-ON-TYNE.—I went
to hear Lord Teynhain preach on Tuesday night, in the
New Court Chapel—certainly one of the ugliest places
of worship I ever entered. Earnestly and pointedly
the old man expounded his views of gospel truth, and
urged his hearers to "Bee from the wrath to come.'
I was struck with the congregation, however, as much
as by the sermon. I never saw such a singular gathering
in either church or chapel before. Hen whom I have
seen maintain the soundness of all manner of beresiert,
and who I know reject il foto the noble preacher's
dogmas on most theological questions, were there

and hopes of everlanting joy that be was giving utter.

POLITICAL INTELLIGENCE.

BIRKENHEAD ELECLION.—On Tuesday the town of
Birkenhead smi in a state of great excitement, in colise-
iinstice of the election and the intense rivalry which
existed between the respective sides. The Market.
place, which was the chief pulling resort, and central
point for committee rooms, Lc. , was thronged throughout
the day by an immense mass of people. A rough
kind of good humour prevailed, and uu accident was
reported. Mr. Laird maintained the head f the pull
during the day, and at the close, the numbers were—
Laird, 1,661 ; &assay, 1.3.18; Maiurity for Laild, 323.
During the day the Catholic priest marched up at the
head of 209 Catholics who all polled for Mr. Laird.
NuTTINGHAII ELECTloN.—Thursday, the 26th instant,
has been Axed for the nomination of candidates, and, in
the event of a contest, the pulling will take place the
following day. There is some talk of • Conservative
coming forward, agents of the Carlton Club baying
visited the borough within the last few days; but so far
MI appearances go, there is every reason to suppose that
Dix contest will lie between the Earl of Lincoln •nd
bir It. Clifton. Tie rail, whose illness has prevented
his •ppearanco before the electors, is now touch
improved in health, and it daily expected in Not.
: meanwhile his immini Dee are busy tusking the
necessary arrangements for prosecuting his election in
the most vigorons manner. Sir IL Clifton is actively
employed in the contest, and on Monday evening ad-
ilre—seil a large meeting of electors, who gave him •
hearty I.m:option, and, after the proceedings closed,
escorted him to his inn, cheering Lim all the way.

A arty of eighteen returned emigrant., accompanied
by thiir families, passengers by the Niagara, arrived a

and North-Wertern Railway from New York, rid
Liverpool. They consisted chiefly of persons of small
means who had emigrated four or five yeara ago, and
who had established themselves ILK shopkeepers iu Now
York and Bo,ton. The new arrivals state that
numerous English families are preparing to leave the
Northern cities in apprehension of a war breaking out

by the very superior quality of the stock to be
eshibitad, and in which they were by no means dis-
appoiuted. The dinner at the Townhall in the
afternoon was most namerously attended, and we
are certain that under so good a (-Werra* as Mrs.

FROM&
THE ROAD MURDER. -REVIVAL OF
PROCEEDINGS.

I London detective visited Trowbridge • few days
ago, and, from whet can be gleaned, he is Ain pn.••-
cuting this marvellous case. Mr. Alfred Rughes, chief
of police at Bath, visited Road last week, mid th•
precise object et his visit cannot be ascertained. Grave
rumours are afloat respecting this mysterious murder,
but at present it would not be prudent to give currency
to them. The expenses incurred by Messrs. Slack and
Simmons, solicitors, of Bath, in conduction their inves-
tigation for the magistrates by the authority of
Government, amounted to nearly £l,OOO. Soon after
the transaction, the bill was forwarded to Government,
but as yet no reply has been received, We unaerstaed
that of this sum Mr. Slack paid £4OO out of his own
pocket.

THE WIMBLEDON MEETING.—SECOND DAY.
The competition for the Queen'e Prise was resumed
on Friday morning, and before noon the firing at the
first range, 200 yards was completed. The wind was
very high and sever;al heavy showers fell, but the
weather did not prevent the volunteers making some
excellent scores. Private Hitchcock, at the 7th
Wiltshire R.fles, made 12 points; Private Beasley
, of the Ist Warwick, 11; and four other competitors

scored 10 each.
The contest at 500 yards was completed on Friday,
and at 600 yards o• Saturday. None of the West of
England gentlemen obtained • sufficient number of
points to entitle them to • Whitworth Title, and
Sergeant Homer, 3rd Dorset; Jostap, let Berk,; and
Green, 3rd Somerset, were the catty parties in this
district who scored in the whole 17 points—just
a sufficient number to shoot off, wit\ others, to decide
whether or not tney shall be of they 40 to shoot fur

&atm anti Commerce.

Returns of our exports to the United States, for the
first five months of this year, shows how seriously our
commerce has already been affected by the American
war. The value of the chief articles of export has
fallen from 8 millions in 1839 and 7 millions in 1860, to
nearly 4 millions—the decline in cotton being half-a.
million.

LYME REGIS.

- --
Tax LITZ TIIONAB FISHES HOUNGTON, E64l.—The
Executors of the late T. F. Remington. Esq., of
Uplyne Devon, have just paid • legacy of £lOO free of
duty to th. Lyme Regis Branch of the National Life-
Bost Institution. It is generally known that one of the
most efficient life-boat on the toast, has been stationed
by this valuable society at Lyme Regis and that her
performances a few months ago, off Lyme Cobb, have
excited the admiration of the public throughout the
United Kingdom. About eight o'clock at night the
alarm was given that a vessel was in distress in the offing
It was pitchy dark; indeed the intense darkness, the
strong gale, and the heavy surf on shore, were enough,
said the Mayor of the town, to appal any men entering
the life-boat: After some short delay, however, the
boat was manned by • gallant crew—her coxswain, T.
Bradley, being early at his post. Tar-barrels were
lighted up on shore, and the boat proceeded on her mis-
sion of mercy. So truly awful was the sight, that
nearly every one on shore believed she would never
return again. However, after battling with the fury of
the storm, and after an absenoe of about an hour and •
half, the life-boat did return, laden with the ship-
wrecked crew of three men of the smack Elisabeth Ann,
of Lyme Regis. The inhabitanta of the town were
perfectly amaand at the life-boat, and the daring beha-
viour of her skilful crew. We sincerely trust that
Dorset will show its sympathy for the national and
important object of the Life.boat Institution by help-
ing it to maintain its numerous life-boat stations in a
state of efficiency.

ELOPMENT 71“.%1 MIL AG APIIIONIL. —A few
days since one of Li, grooms at the Abode of Love
made up his mind ;o escape from that establish-
ment., and accordin.tly he one afternoon proceeded
to his r.xiin, where I.e commenced packing up his
effects. Whilst so ngaged, a fellow-servant heard
him rumaging aboo; overhead, and entered the
room to see what going on. Perceiving the
preparations which it to in progress, he immediately
gave an alarm to son.. of the chiefs. Meanwhile,
the would-be fugitive .;unsidered it would be better
to escape with a littl than to be detained with all,
and therefore took t, much of his property as he
could conveniently c..rry, and hurried off. Miss
Hodder, another inmate of the Agapemone, also
endeavoured to get a•ay, but was detained. The
groom proceeded to Bridgwater, and left his boxes
,at • house in Poldea-street. Next morning he re-
turned to the Agapemone, and fetched away Mies
Hodder, with whom he came back to Bridgwater,
and took the up•train to London, where both have
friends ri siding. Within a few minutes of the Might
certain of Brother Prince's disciples followed by
way of eannington-road, but were unable to catch
the groom and his companion.

The Midland Gazene say. "the contents are varied
and interesting. while the pictorial and typographical
excellence displayed render it one of the moat attnie
tire as it is one of the best of the cheap periodicals."
The Gboentry Herald recommends it as "a small
monthly of a superior character," and further mays
" the contents consist of a mixture of entertaining
fiction, narratives of adventure and travel, historkia
aketelirri, science, and natural history ; and these are
all good of their kind, and the illustrations also, con-
sidering the very low price, the getting up of this
