DR. JOHN THONISON, LATE PROFESSOR OF PATHOLOOT
IN EDINBURGH UNIVERSITY, died in the vicinity of that
city last week. Ile was in his 82nd year, was a native of
Pinsky, and about ten years since, from ill health and in-
creasing years. resigned his professorship. His published
works are nut many, the principal one being a trans/'ion of
Foamy's Elements of Chemistry.
REPRESENTATION OF THE STIRLING BUROHS.— Since
the death of Mr. Gillon, the prospects of Mr. J. B. Smith,
the Liberal candidate, have much improved. In Dunferm-
line, the most populous and important of the burghs, the
feeling is all but unanimous in his favour. During the past
week a series of meetings have been held, nt which resolu-
tions in approval of that gentleman as a fit and proper can-
didate have been carried be acc/ametion. It is stated that
the new registration in Dunfermline has increasi 1 the
Liberal party 85 votes beyond their previous number. Mean-
time the canvass ou behalf of the Tory oand date, Mr.
Alison, goes en with vigour, and there is every sign of an
energetic contest.
TAIT'S MAGAZINE is in the market, the publisher retiring
full of honours, although certainly not in years.
THE EDINBURGH PHILOSOPHICAL INSTITUTION is to
have an inaugural soirk, at which Mr. Macaulay and Arch-
bishop Whateley are expected to be present. Charles Knight
was correct in saying that the " starring" system is not the
best way for authors fulfilling their " mission ;" but the end
in view is probably eclat to the visited more than honour to
the visitor.
THE HARBOUR BOARD PROPOSED BY GOVERNMENT is
beginning to excite apprehensions. No doubt many Scotch
harbour., as well as English, have been mismanaged; but it
is questionable if the system of central surveillance, now so
much in vogue, would cure the evil. It opens up the flood-
gates of government patronage to a ruinous extent—and the
specimens of state engineering which we have been favoured
with by no means reconcile us to such a proposal. Witness
the Trigonometrical Survey of Scotland, undertaken by
government in the last century, and as yet only complete is
• few counties. It is the interest of the inhabitants of every
seaport to keep their harbour' in a state of efficiency ; and in
eases where particular harbours are of national importance, it
L the interest of the nation to grant subsidies where local
supplies cannot be raised ; but this could be done without a
board assuming all power to itself.
SCOTCH E xertaNn Barme.—A new establishment of this
kind having been projected, which has met with favour in
the share market, a rumour has been raised that such insti-
tutions are illegal, inasmuch as they come under the bars of
the English Bank Act, now extended to Scotland. This
may or may not be a weak invention of an enemy; but, as
the provisions of the statute in question are tolerably
stringent, intending speculators would do well to read the
act and judge for themselves—or, better still, take counsel.
EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW RAILWAY.—It is stated in a
religious periodical that Sir Andrew Agnew has all but pre-
vailed on the new directors of this lino to disernatinue Sunday
travelling.
Fear or STET.NOTR.--A wager was taken by two gentle-
men as to whether a strong athletic man of the name of
Alex. Frazer, co•nmonlv called " Loyal," would carry on
his back an old boll of meal (11st. 341 be. imperial) from
Rothes to Glenfarclas Distillery, a distance of ten miles, all
up-hill, within the space of ten hours. Frazer undertook
the task with great good-will, knowing that, if successful,
be would be amply rewarded; and, starting from Rothes
early on Tuesday last with his burden, reached his destina-
tion in eight hours and live minutes, thus accomplishing the
feat in an hour and fifty-five minutes less time than that
allowed him, without theleast apparent fatigue. On getting
free of his burden, Frazer danced the Highland fling, and
looked as fresh as if he had travelled the distance without
any burden at all. When within about two hundred yards
of the distillery, there is a ditch several feet wide, which he
crossed with the greatest ease, refusing the aid of a plank
which was laid across for hie accommodarion. Lovat
was rewarded (says the North of Scotland Gazette) for his
trouble by receiving the boll of meal to himself, with an
overflowing bumper of real Glenfarelas.
A ZEALOUS FRtEND OP TEMPERANCE 1186 circulated in
Inverness a placard in which it is suggested in reference to
the existing scarcity of food :
That the grain consumed in the distillation of spirituous and
fermented liquors might be more appropriately applied to the per.
paws of subsistence. let the legislature (he continues) be applied in,
to prohibit distillation throughout the United Kingdom ; and if vinous
compounds must be had, let theca be procured from other countr.es,
froth as France and Spain, in exchange for our manufactured goods.
'Let not government mimed a measure so calculated to produce
instant relief, and morally as well as physteallv to benefit the nation,
with &some, through any narrow ecru*e of lowening therevenue.
All right-minded men will moire in such an nay of confer-
ring a signal benefit upon the country, and =l;ragituy contribute to
make such personal 'sacrifices as the urgency of the case may seam to
amend."

WARWICKSHIRE.
RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—Soon after the train left Liverpool
on Sunday morning, one of the carriage axles became red
hot, and emitted volumes et smoke. This continued all the
way to Birmingham, and at every station, water was copi-
ougy thrown over to cool it. At Birmingham, some of the
pipet:wen request: d the carriage to be changed, and were
unwilling to proceed in it ; but the officials affirmed that it
was " safe'enough now," and so the train again left. About
four miles from Birmingham, some part of the wheel gear
gave way, the carriere descended on one side, and it was
with the greatest difficulty the alarm was given by a railway
policeman Inside, and the train stopped. At length the
engineer procured assistance from Birmingham ; and, after
more than an hour's detention, the train proceeded, leaving
the broken carriage behind.
17010482 Tauxs.—Two luggage trains paned by the
Rugby station on Saturday last, on the London and North
Western Railway, one of which consisted of 96 caniages,
containing nearly 400 tons of merchandise, the., impelled by
one of Stephenson's new patent G.wheel engines, and two
others The other train consisted of 84 carriages, and con-
tained 394 tons of goods, drawn by one of the new patents
and two common engines. The length of the first train was
upwards of a quarter of a mile, extending from the platform
to the first bridge.

EXTRAORDINARY PRESERVATION OF HUNAN LIFE.—
A circumstance, which 'bows the amount of suffering of
which the human frame is capable, has just occurred on the
Derbyshire moors, must within a few miles of Sheffield. The
facts are thus atated in the Derbyshire Courier:—" An aged
man, verging upon the extreme limit of mortality, who is
named Barton, and who resides on the Totley moors, left his
Louse about noon on Friday, to proceed on a visit to his
daughter. who is married to a farmr residing at a place
called Robin Hood,' which is situate on a lonely tract of
moor land above the Cupola Bar, near Saslow. His daugh-
ter'. residence, however, he did not reach, nor did he return
home, as it was anticipated be would have done, in the even-
ing. This circumstance, and his great and increasing infir-
mities, led to a suspicion that something had befallen him,
and on its being made known, a party of his neighbours and
friends, to the number of about twenty, instituted a rigid
search in every direction in which it was considered probable
the poor old man might have gone; but, notwithstanding all
their exertions and inquiries in all quarters, nothing
which could throw any light upon hie mysterious disappear-
ance was discovered, unless it may be considered that the
finding of a stick on a remote part of the moors, which he
aas supposed to have had with him, furnished a clue ; and,
taking every advantage of this circumstance, the most dili-
gent search was continued until darkness compelled the
party to desist, and they returned home loot in regret and
full of melancholy surmises. Oa Sunday the search was re-
newed by increased numbers, and with greater anxiety. but
after a fruitless toil during the whole day, they lien re-
turned home unsuccessful. Monday, at sunrise, witnessed ,
the devoted party again at their labours. and spreading
themselves, out, not a is eok nor a corner was left unexplored,
and about four o'clock on Monday afternoon, the pooroldman
was found under the shelter of a stone wall, and surrounded
by rigged rocks ; he was laid down, and his hat pushed
over his face, and although alive was insensible—alive at
his age, after being exposed to the inclemency of the night
air, and without food or sustenance of any kind, fur nearly
eighty hours ! And, in speaking of his exposure, it may be
remarked that the Saturday night is recorded as bring the
coldest which the season has hitherto witnessed, a strong
frost having prevailed during the whole of the hours of
darkness. As soon as he was discovered, his instant removal
home was effected in the gentlest manner possible. A cart
was procured, in which he was warmly covered up; and, on
his arrival at his own house, where he had been given up for
(lead, some gruel was administered to him in small quanti-
ties, and every means that humanity could suggest were re-
sorted to for his preservation. Happily, these efforts were
crowned with stiCeCts ; in a few hours he was enabled to raise
himself up, and before night was so far recovered as to be
able to walk. Of the manner in which he came into the
deplorable condition in which he was found, the poor fellow
could give no account; he supposes that he must have been
seized with a fit, or have fainted. But of this he has no re-
membrance, nor does be at all recollect ever coming to a state
of consciousness as to his deplorable condition. It is grati-
fying to know that he is recovering.

SHROPSHIRF-
A CARE OF STA EBINO occurred at Baschorch on Tuesday,
by which the life of a young man named Burton has been
placed in great dangsr. The wound was inflicted in a
drunken affray, which arose after a fuot.xisee ; and the de-
linquent Gittens, after committing the crime, threw away
the knife and ran, hut was overtaken, and has since been
examined and committedforXrial...

CHESHIRE.
WESLEYAN METHODISM.—A very extrusive scheme of
chapel building is now contemplated by the Wesleyan
Methodists of Stockport. Emulating the example set by the
Established Church, which has recently planted branches or
chapelries in some of the out-townships of the borough, they
have determined on the erection, by voluntary contribution,
of several chapels, iu similar situations. A meeting was held
at the house of J. Marshall, Esq., in Brinnington, a few
evenings ago, when the question was mooted and discussed,
and, after some rinversation, it was determined to erect a
chapel and day-school in Portwood ; another in Queen street
West, Chestergete ; and another at Hope Hill. Towards
carrying out this design, the following sums were subscribed
on the spot :—.J. Heald, Esq., and family, 1,000 guineas ; J.
Marshall and Sons, 1,000 guineas ; J. Lees, Esq , Stanley
House, 250 guineas ; Mr. J. Allen, 2.50 guineas; Cl. Turner,
Esq., M.D., 250 guineas ; Mr. G. Drinkwater, 100 guineas ;
Mr. J. Brownell, 100 guineas; Mr. S. Hunt, 100 guineas;
Mr. A. Vickers, 100 guineas ; Mr. J. Rigby, 00 guineas.
Other sums have since been announced; and, altogether,
about 4,0001. have been subscribed.

NORTHUMBERLAND.
A VERDICT of "Accidental Death" has been returned in
the case of the unfortunate sufferers by the explosion at the
Walker Iron Works, near Newcastle-on-Tyne.

AT NEIIWICE POLICE COVET, on Friday, a youth named
F. Cutting was remanded on a charge of haying set fire to his
father's premises. The cause of thiv desperate act was anger
at having been compelled to be at home at an early hour in
the evening. He would not obey, and remained from home
on the Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday nights. On the
Thursday night he spent nearly his last halfpenny in pur-
chasing a box of lucifer matches, with which he set Sze to
the out-door premises.
OXFORDSHIRE.

...... ......
THE CONDITION OF THE LABOURERS OF OXFORDSHIRE
is illustrated by a report, in the local papers, of the proceed-
ings at petty sessions, on Saturday se'nnight, when a long
list of defaulter. for poor's-rates occupied the attention of the
magistrates. The following cases will give an idea of the
system adopted by 'parish officers in rural districts.--W.
Broadhurst, jun., labourer, earning 94. per neek, with a wife
and two children, was summoned for a rate of 2s. He said
he was often out of work for three months in the winter.—
The bench said they could not remit the rate if the parish
officers in.isted on its being paid, but they would not allow
costs, lie was ordered to pay it by instalments of 6d. per
week. The poor fellow said he would pay it, though he
must rob his family to do it —S. Bryan, rate 2s. 9J., said he
could hardly get bread; he had a wife and two children, and
neither of them well. He appealed to Mr. Smith (the col-
lector) that he had never troubled the parish.—Mr.
Smith said ke believed that was true, but he was not
a parishioner. All the land on which these cottages
stood used to pay rates, and he did not see why
the houses should not pay. Bryan said he could not
pay it all; he could not get a house in his own parish or he
should not have come to Littlemore : he could not pay rates.
—Mr. Hayman (one of the magistrates) to Smith : Do you
press for a warrant of distress ?—Smith : Yes, certainly.—
Mr. Henley : He must pay the rates, but not the tosts.—To
be paid in a month.—James Clarke, an aged man, rate
2.5. 3d.—Clarke said he could not pay; he had had no work
for a month.—The Bench: How do you live ?—Clarke re-
plied, he had been obliged to get into debt 29e. already for
food.--Mr. Smith : He is a very honest man.—One month to
pay, and costa not allowed.--IL Clarke, rate 2.3.3 d. ; had a
wife and 6 children, ono of whom earned 4s. a week.—Smith:
What does your wife earn ?—Clarke : When she goes out
washing she pets 3s. in the week.—Costa disallowed; one
month to pay the rate.—H. King aid Sarah Dutton, rate
2a. 6d.; living in one house, Sarah Dutton being 'nether-in-
law to King. The wife of King answered the amemeas, and
mid her mother (Sarah Dutton) was very ill, and It was very
uncertain whether she would recover. She was thee at the
Union, and the pariah allowed 2a. Si. a week Whose she
watt. She (King) had six children ; her mother took the
home, and she and her family lived in it. Mr. Healey
informed the overseers they could Not enforce this; the
mother was the tenant of the house, and she was
now receiving parochial relief. Mr. Smith: We have
both names in the summons. The bench refused the
order.—H. Hitchcock, rate 2=. fid. Dr. Harington said, GS
the parish made one me for the year merely to save
themselves trouble in collecting, the bench would not ,
order any parishioner I. pay the whole at once. A month
allowed.—J. Richards, rate 2.a. 9d.; had four children, two of
which had gene to work; one had been ill for three months.
—Mr. Smith; You do not Wong to the parish. He won-
dered he (Rickards) had not applied to the parish, then
medical relief world have been provided.--Richards replied,
they wished to de without troubling the parish.—One month
to pay, and the costs not allowed.—Ail the expenses, which
are understood to average 4s. each ease, will therefore fall on
the pariah; thus in every case a lam of about ls. Bd. is in-
curred.
SUPPOSED Inearrinwatins.—On Sunday morning an oat-
stack was discovered to be on fire in a rick-yard on the farm
of Mrs. Drown, of Piddingtoo. That it was the act of an
incendiary there is not the slightest doubt.

depositions to the Crown Solicitors, Messrs. Idaule and Rey-

aware what proceedings would be taken. The men are still
at Dagenham, under strict surveillance, doing nothing but
receive their pay, or a greater portion of it, and, to use the
remark of a gentleman using in the neighbourhood, ‘• get-
ting fat upon idleness." It was expected that an indictment
would be preferred at the ensuing Essex Quarter Sessions
for the county for perjury, the case occurring, although in
in the Metropolitan Police district, beyond the jurisdiction of
the Central Criminal Court.

A FInE. supposed to be the of an incendiary, was

stacks were destroyed.

Music.

STRAND THEATRE.—Last evening Mr. Morley, for-
merly of Covent garden Theatre, gave a vocal entertainment,
called "Crossing the Atlantic, and Traits and Travels in
America " Mr. Morley, whom we remember some dozen
years ago holding a prominent place in the Covent gtrden
company, is a hass singer, with a voice of considerable depth
and power. He recites with force and animation. His
entertainment contained some clever and amusing passages ;
but unfortunately it has been very much forestalled by otter
things of a similar kind, particularly the entertainments of
Mr. H. Russell, the Hutchinson family, sad the Ethiopian
Serenaders, who have given the town such a profusion of
Yankee and Negro anecdotes and songs, that such things have
lost their novelty and freshness. Some of Mr. Morley's traits of
American character and manners, however, were exceedingly
laughable in themselves, and delivered with much point and
humour, particularly the description of the " independent"
boarding-house landlady, and the speech in the Senate on
the Oregon question. His song. were for the most part com-
posed for this entertainment by E. Loder. Blewitt, J. L.
Hatton, and Russell. The most remarkable among them
was Hattou's scene, descriptive of the fitful fancies of a
maniac in an American madhouse. It is a production of
great power, reminding us of Purcel;'s songs of this clam ;
but it would require a Staudigl or a Pischek to do it justice.
Mr. Loder's songs were wanting in originality, and not wor•
thy of his deservedly high reputation. The theatre was
pretty well filled; and the entertainment was favourably
received.

SIR HENRY BISHOP'S EDITION OF TIANDEL'S
SONGS.— Sir Henry Bidinp, though he has retired from the
field of original composition, in which he has gained a name
which will descend to posterity along with those of Purcell
and Arne, has been far from discontinuiag his exertions for
thebenefit of ha art. Since he has become the conductor of the
Concerts of Ancient Music, he has roused them from the state
of torpor in which they had lain for many yean, infused new
life into their management, and given -them freshness and
interest, by the revival of many beautiful works of the olden
time which had fallen into oblivion. and were in danger of
being utterly loot. Still more valuable have been his labours
as the editor of many works of great masters ; and among
the most important of his contributions of this stature, is the
publication before us. It consists of songs, duets, and trios,
selected from the oratorios. &c., of Handel, and arranged, by
permission of the Queen, from the original scores of the com-
poser in lier Majesty's library, with an accompaniment for the
pianoforte. It is published at intervals, iu a volume at a
time. Seven have appeared ; and it must be carried still
further (though to what extent we are not informed), for its
subject-matter is by no means exhausted. From an
examination of the contents of the volumes before us, it
appears that the editor's object is to give the public a collet
tion of Handel's English vocal music, adapted to the use of
private society. It contains the most beautiful of his songs,
duets, and trios, which can be sung at the pianoforte in the
domestic or social circle, detached from those portions of the
oratorios, &c. from which they are selected, that can only be
used at public performances. Thus, though the work, posi-
tively speaking, is large and toady, yet comparatively it is
much the reverse; for the lover of Handel can find nowhere
else so great a body of the mighty master's finest music, the
whole of which is fitted for general use. For the execution
of the work the name of 131111(OP may be regarded as a suffi-
cient guarantee. But, from the use which we have made of
these volumes, we can may that they do not contain a line
unworthy of the great name of Handel ; that the text is im-
maculately correct ; and that the pianoforte accompaniment,
arranged from the composers original scores, exhibits con-
summate skill and judgment, preserving the effect of the
author's harmony and instrumentation, without embarrassing
the player with needless i:iffieulties.
A new opera-house is building at Barcelona. It is
culled the Teatro Isabella, and is as large as La Scala at
Milan.
The theatres in Italy are making great preparations
for the approaching Carnival. The San Carlo at Naples an-
nounces three new opera.. One of them. " Gli Orasi ed i
Curiari, by Mereadante. The Scala, at Milan, announces
four new produ tions ; and l'errot is about to bring out a
grand ballet of action. At Parma, a new opera, culled "La
Cantatriec.," the first work of a young composer, has beefl
received with much applause. At Cesena, the story of
Count ligolinn has been brought upon the stage in the form
of a ballet. The great theatre at Turin has been opened
with an Italian version of Meyerbecr's " Robert le Diable,"
which met with the greatest success.
Madame Viardot-Garcia has appeared at Berlin ;
and her voice is described as fresher and more sonorous than
ever. The boxes and stalls have been taken beforehand,
for all her performance., and the prices have been doubled.
We trust that the sister of Malibran, in genius as well as in
birth, will be among the host of talent drawn hither by the
operatic competition of rest season.
Coletti, the baritone singer, has made his Mitt
at the Paris Italian Opera. in the part of Assur, in Rossini's
" Semiramide " with brilliant success. This singer, it will
be remembered, was engaged, a few seasons ago, at her
Majesty's Theatre, to supply the place of Tamburini, but,
after a short time, was shelved for the season, in consequence
of the notable " Tamburini row," which compelled the
manager to engage that favourite performer. But for this
untoward event, Coletti's success here would have been as
great as it deserved to be, and as it has been everywhere else.
The rehearsals of liossini's new opera, " Robert
Bruce," have begun at the Academic Royale de Musique.
The hero is to be represented by Barroilhet, and the heroine
by Madame Stolz. Mdlle. Nan also apnears in it. This
hurt song of "the Swan of Pesaro" is expected with the
utmost interest.
The new musical theatre at Paris seems in a strange
state. It has obtained a licence, and M. Adolphe Adam,
the manager, is making nemerous engagements, and receiv-
ing or rejecting poems and scores. But there are not
funds to provide a house; nor is there any immediate pro-
spect of its being provided. " There is no saying," observes
the Gazette Musicale," how long things may remain in this
state ; and then, how many blighted hopes and cruel de-
ceptions!"
M. Elwart, the young Parisian composer, has
received from the Duke de Moutpensier a maguificent port-
folio, in acknowledgment of the nuptial mass composed for
his Royal Highness's marriage with the Infanta of Spain.
The fiftieth anniversary of the opening of the
Magdeburg Theatre has been celebrated by the performance
of Mozart's " Zauberflote," with which opera the theatre
was opened half a century before.
