ACCIDENT FROM GUNPOWDER—This morning, a
boy abut eight years of age was take, to King's College
li-sisital, so injured as to be without hope of recovery. The
child had been amusing himself by playirg with gun•
powder. The neighbours, on bearing the boy scream, w,nt
to the ram. wt,ich was filed with amok., in one corner of
which lay the little sufferer on the ground, burnt most fright-
fully about the face, hands, and arms, and his cloth. a nearly
all destroyed. The parents were absent from home at the
time. _ _

THE OLD OAK OP Rose.—This gigantic tree,
which has for centuries been an object of attraction to the
town of Ross, wu destroyed by fire on the evening of Wed-
nesday last. The "old oak of It us" is supp:sed to have
been 1,600 years old. Toe circumference at base was fifteen
yard., and 11 yards at three feet from the ground. Its de-
struction was caused by some boys lighting a fire in its trunk,
ant notwithstanding the efbrts of the people, assisted by the
town engioe, it was all but totally destroyed, nothing being
left but a heap of blackened ruins.—/ risk)! Journal.
SILVER LODE.—A very valuable silver lode has
been discovered oa Ell Bridge estate, the property of Mr.
W. Wymond, it the parish of Landolph, about four miles
from Saltash, on the direct Callington road. Applications
have been repeatedly mu,e for the past 20 years fora grant
of the sett, which, however, could not be obtained until
about a fortnight same, the proprietor not believing his es-
tan contained any mineral, and supposing that hit land
would he broken up to no purpose. ()runtime were com-
menced on Monday week last, and when only three feet (rem
the surface a valuaole lode of silver lead ore was opened on,
showing that the opinions of the practical miners were cor-
rect. The ore taken from it, having been careludy assayed,
produced 10 in 20 for lead, and 200 ounces cf silver in the
ton of ore. The shaft has since been sunk about four fa-
thoms, where the lode is four feet big, and the ore found to
be of much greater richness. This is one of the richest
lodes ever seen la our locality so sear the surface.—Plymotah

CAMELFORD.—DISCOVERT OF ANCIENT WEAPONS.
—Wilds some labourers were employed • few weeks sines
in excavating for the foundation of a house at Slaughter-
brifee, near Camelford, they dug up some implements of
ancient war, consisting of a bottle-axe, a spear, add a BMW,
supposed to have lain buried there since the days of King
Arthur. Tradition says that on that spot a sanguinary
battle was fought between the troops of Arthur end those
opposed to him, and that the nephew of Arthur war killed in
the fight. His remains were interred near the spot, end
were afterwards removed to Glastonbury. The persons who
hand the articles named gave them away, setting but
little value on them; but, could they be procured, we think
they would be a valuable relic to be deposited in one of
the museums in this county —Commit Royal Gazelle.
001. D IN SARAWAK.—The Journal of the Indian
Archipelago publishes the following important announce-
rent, contained in a letter dated Sarawak, November 2,
1849 The rains at the beginning of this month of last
year fell in great quantities in Sarawak, end • considerable
portion of the face of • mountain, culled Trian, was wished
down into the plains below. The deposit was found to
abound in gold, and afforded work for sully 2,000 men for
about • month or six weeks, end it was reekened that, at
the smallest average, they pr-cured a bunkel • month per
man. The gold was in lumps, and not in dust, and several
of the lamweighed from three to foar 'make* sad they
were s

feet may, en this locality, lead at some future day to im-
p. rtsnt conclusions; end I am induced to notice it ea it
corroborates the statements in Mr. Low's work, and, et the
same time, is contrary to the received opinion, and the e x-
perience of the workings in the Brazile, where geld is rarely

A POPISH PREACHER IN FRANCE. The well
known H. Ratisbocce has, it appears, created • tremendous
eommotioa at Lisieux by preaching what is celled a Socialist
sermon, or, rather a sermon in which he sternly rebuked
the wealthy for their callous indifference to the poor (a re-
buke richly wanted in this country), and menaced them
with tarried* vengeance at the coming revolution. This H.
Retisbocne, by the way, is one of the itinerant preaching
clergy constantly employed here, end a marvellous story
is related of him too. He was • Jaw by birth and educa-
tion, sad it is said happened be stray one day into • church
at Rome, when he was much 'track by a &tare of
the As he war gluing at it a cAurna of light
suddenly issued from the pinta's, and the Vigils, in
propeta persona, stepped forward, condensed his
Jewish disbelief, end ordered him to conform to Chrietithity.
Thereupon BaUsbonce tell on his knees, sod remained for
some time estreaosd ; end when he reunited conscious.
nem the vision had departed. He hasteeed back to Paris
• converted men—made over to the chinch great part of
his fortune, which was considerable, obtained permission
to eater • seminary, and, after going through the usual
course of study, was ordain( d—sinee which, being gifted
with eloquesee, he has been employed as a travelling
preacher. This absurd story of his comvenioe is impudently
palmed off on the public—amounts of It ere printed with
the emotion of the bishops—and cheep engravings represent-
ing it are spread about by thousands. Consequently, where-
ever he goes Ratisbonne is a " lion," and to see and hear
him churches are thronged by the gaping multitude with
almost as mask interest as would be manifested to we Van
Ambit* it Reseal.
