THREE O'CLOCK.

DUBLIN, JULY 17.—There is considerable talk
in town to-day of a " delicate affair," which will shortly afford
the " gentlemen of the long robe," as well as the lovers of
scandal, ample employment for a time. The lady's husband
was away for business, or pleasure—it matters not—and his
unexpected return produced the ecclaircissement. The " gal-
lant gay Lothario" is d young gentleman from the far west in
this " Isle of the West," a man of considerable fortune, and-at
present a sojourner at a fashionable hotel in this city.—Morn-
ng Paper.

It is intended henceforward to call Buckingham
Palace by a much more appropriate title, and one which will
record the time when the Sovereign of these realms first
took up her abode there. The new name is to be " The
Queen's Palace."
On Wednesday morning, at about a quarter past
eight, and during the absence of the workmen employed in
building the Parr's Head public-house, in Aldersgate-street,
part of a stack of chimnies, immediately over where they had
been at work in laying the foundation, fell in, in cons9quence
of the slipping away of a quantity of ground. The chimnies
had been well secured with raking and other shores, in proof
of which, the upper portion remained, whilst the lover fell in
with the earth. Mr. Jones, of the adjoining premises, sus-
tained sonic injury in the shape of broken glasses, &c., but
fortunately no other accident occurred.
The bridge across Poole harbour was opened to the
public on the 7th inst., Mr. Ponsonby, the late Member for
the county, having been first allowed to drive over it with his
family.

IUTIIER.—The university where Luther studied
was suppressed in 1816 ; the convent where he became a monk
is now an orphan asylum ; and the church in which he once
read mass, is a Protestant one. His cell in the Augustine
convent is preserved in the same state as when occupied by
him ; and his table, his portrait against the wall, and his beloved
Bible, are still to be seen there.—A Sumnzer in Germany.
CURIOUS CIRCUMSTANCE.—Within fifty miles
of Alford were caught, in one trap, one woman, thirty-one
rats, one cat, two dogs, and a man, all in the month of June,
—Stamford Mercury. [Qy. Was Sir James Graham one of
the thirty-one rats who were caught in this extraordinary trap ?]
SIR ROBERT PEEL.—A letter received in Privy-
gardens from Drayton-park states, that Sir R. Peel, although
not quite recovered from his late indisposition, is much better ;
and it is confidently expected that in a few days the Right
lion. Baronet will be restored to his usual good state of
health.

Tuesday evening an inquest was held at the Globe
Tavern, London-street, Fitzroy-square, on the body of Mrs.
Elizabeth Cock, who committed suicide by hanging herself to
a hook in the wall. Iler son spoke to her diseased state of
mind, and her general ill health, and the jury found a verdict
of " Temporary derangement."
ORANGE LODGES.—Orangeism has ceased to exist!
There are no lodges whatever of the order in Ireland ! The
loyal body had too deep and respectful a sense of what was
due to the wishes of their Sovereign not at once and in good
faith to dissolve. To this Colonel Perceval pledged himself.
What, then, does the Ballyshannon Herald mean by the an.
nouncernent it makes of the assembling together of some dozen
lodges on the 12th instant? The Herald is in the confidence
of the Ilanoverians, and does not disguise the fact, for it states
that the Master of the Orange Lodge, No. 1489, or " Bal-
lintra Blues," informs it that the anniversary was ushered in
by the usual tunes, &c., and that several " lodges" assembled
in their respective " lodge-rooms," and dined together. Again
it is set forth that the " Orangemen" of the " devoted" town
of Garrison hoisted a flag on their " lodge," and that they
spent the day in their " lodge-rooms," concocting measures
for the formation of a new Society, to be entitled " The Queen's
True Blues." The name is pretty and appropriate—for
" blue, deeply, darkly, beautifully blue," their cause is acknow-
ledged to be. —Pilot.

Monday, about one o'clock, Bolton was visited
by a terrific thunder storm. The electric fluid struck the
chimney of a cottage at the Cross Keys, Little Bolton, and
bilged it. It then passed into the room and shattered the
window-frames ; then into the house, and knocked several of
the family down ; but, fortunately, none of them were seriously
injured. It also struck a window in No. 6 room, in Messrs.
Bolling's Coronation Factory, breaking a single pane of glass,
and forced a spinner, named Patrick M'Mullan, who was in
the act of putting up, on to a skip. It passed under the
wheels of James Menzies, and broke his scroll-band, and set
fire to the fluke ; it then tore off the lath and plaster under..
neath the flooring. The engines were sent for, but the fire
was extinguished before they arrived. The lightning also
struck a cottage near to Messrs. Omrod and Son's pin-mill,
and tore open the spout, and split the door in pieces. It
passed into an upper room in the factory, and ignited some
loose cotton ; but the fire was soon extinguished.—Bolton
Chronicle.

A. short time since a young man named Thomas
Proctor, a respectable inhabitant of the neighbourhood of
Walshatn-le-Willows, met his death under the following- sin-
gular and distressing circumstances :---During a visit to a friend
he accidentally took up a needle, and while in the act of care-
lessly bending it between his teeth, it suddenly snapped, and
the greater part of it passed some distance into his throat.
Severe inflammation following, which the best directed means
were unable to check, after about twelve days' illness, he was
prematurely removed from the circle of an affectionate family.
—Essex Herald.

A TURKISH BATll.—Wheti I entered, several of
the bathers were up to their chins in the basin, their long dark
tresses floating on the surface of the water; others, resting
upon a step which brought the water only to their knees, were
lying upon the edge of the tank, while their attendants were
pouring the hot stream over them from metal basins ; some,
seated on low stools, were receiving the mineralized fluid after
the fashion of a shower-bath ; while one, lying at her length
upon the heated marble of the floor—so heated that I could
scarcely apply my open palm to it without suffering—was sleep_
ing as tranquilly as though she had been extended upon a bed
of down.—The City of the Sultan.

On Wednesday, as the workmen Were excavating for
the foundation of the Great Western Cotton Factory at St.
Philip's, they found a remarkably fine bust of a Mammoth in
the gravel overlaying the red made; about 12 feet from the Sur-
face.-Isristol Gazette.
