the Ministry will have adjttled all their differences ;
that the latter will have seen the absolute necessity of
giving full effect to the Litchfield House treaty ; and
that Mr. O'Connell will be reinstated in the unquali-
fied and undivided power of nominating in Ireland all
the servants of the Qucen.—Morning Post.

ST. JAMES'S PARK.---A Correspondent complains
that the comforts of the poor arc wofully neglected in all
the improvements here. He asks " How will it consist with
the character of her Majesty to see from her palace windows
hundreds of her humbler subjects hourly wading through
the Buckingham-bog, many of them not only sick and
bowed down by toil and penury, but probably, if not shoe-
less, with such shoes only as are pervious to the wet at
every step ?" We think our good and gracious Queen
could not do better than hint to the Commissioners of
Woods and Forests that a paved path from her palace to
Spring Gardens ought to be laid down. It is a great
public thoroughfare, and the improvement suggested would
be a lasting benefit to thousands whose lot it is to walk
and work incessantly for the favoured few who idly repose
on couches of down, or luxuriously 101 l in fine carriages.
For the few flag-stones necessary for the construction of
a paved path along the Park, the public would cheer-
fully pay.
SUICIDE.—On Tuesday, at Sheffield, a young mar-
ried female, named Whitmore, living in Norfolk-street, put
a period to her existence by taking a quantity of arsenic,
which caused her death a few hours afterwards. After she
had taken the poisonous drug she mentioned what she had
been doing to the family where she lodged, but was thought
by them to be joking, as they had no suspicion of anything
unpleasant having occurred to her ; however, she presently
began vomiting ; medical assistance was then obtained, but
their efforts to save her life was of no avail. The deceased
was a native of this city, where her friends reside in very
respectable circumstances.--Lincoln Gazette.

An explosion of fire damp occurred in the pit of
Mr. Mills, near Netherton, on Saturday last, by which
fifteen men and boys were dreadfully burnt and mutilated.
Immediate assistance was rendered, but four have since
died, and the others remain in a precarious state. Two
horses were also burnt to death.—Worcester Herald.

A letter from Kirchberg, of the 14th of October,
states that the Duchess of Angouleme, with the Duke of
Bordeaux, and Mademoiselle de Rosny, were to leave for
Goritz on the 20th. In passing by Goritz, the illustrious
travellers were to visit the Duchess of Berri. The Duke
of Angouleme is likewise to quit Kirchberg a few days
afterwards for Goritz.

During one of the cases tried before the Earl of
Devon at the present Session, a Juryman rose up, and with
much naivete addressed his Lordship as follows :—" I
should be glad if your Lordship would enlighten my dark
understanding, because I are an hilliterate man, and
wishes to do 'justice' to my country." The Court was
much amused at the manner in which the above was de-
livered.— Western Luminary.
On Tuesday morning the lady of the Rev. J.
Gwynne, of Fortstewart, left home at an early hour, ac-
companied by her female servant, for the purpose of bath-
ing. Not returning at the usual hour, the alarm was given,
and a search made. The apparel of the unfortunate lady
and her attendant was found in the bathing-house, but their
bodies had been swept away. The surf was unusually
high, and the tide very strong. Every effort has been
made in the hope of discovering the bodies, but as yet with-
out effect, nor does it appear probable that any success
will attend the attempt. The grief of the bereaved hus-
band under this sudden blow may be conceived but not de-
scribed.—Belfist Paper.
SIR WALTER SCOTT'S MONUMENT.—We are
given to understand that there is no intention to make any
change in the sub-committee in charge of this undertaking
for one of the best reasons possible—there is a want of
power to make a change. The Committee is a very good
one, and they could not have a better Chairman than Lord
Melville.—Edinburgh Courant.
Persons who are much occupied in writing, such as
barristers, editors of newspapers, and those engaged in li-
terary pursuits, will do well to have a high desk, at which
they may stand and write whenever they arc fatigued with
sitting. This practice will be found extremely efficacious in
preventing those desk diseases which are incident to such
occupations, The use of soft stuffed seats by sedentary
persons is one which frequently occasions unpleasant affec-
tions. An excellent sort of seat is one common in France,
having a circular hole in the middle ; but the best seat is a
common open cane chair.—Curtis on Health.

Boron d'Uckermann, who recently died at Dresden,
has left the whole of his library, consisting of 6,425 vo-
lumes of valuable works on philosophy, philology, mathe-
matics, natural history, jurisprudence, and theology, besides
mineralogical and zoological collections, to the University
of Leipsic. He also bequeathed some fine anatomical pre-
parations, and several valuable astronomical instruments.
The University, in accepting this valuable legacy, has resolv-
ed that they shall be placed in a separate apartment, to be
entitled the Uckermann Museum ; that the portrait of the
donor shall be placed in the great hall of the University ;
that all his descendants shall possess the right of becoming
tires academici ; and that they shall receive gratis the let-
ters conferring that degree.
A few days since an act of incendiarism was com-
mitted at Okchampton, by setting fire to a hay-rick, close
to the town ; although it took place by night, a cottager
discovered it by the smell. lie immediately alarmed the
neighbours, who assisted in cutting the rick in•two, and
saved nearly two-thirds of it. A few days antecedent to
this, a fire was discovered about two o'clock in the after-
noon at Mr. Bailton's, Glendon, in the same parish, sup-
posed to be an act of incendiarism. Almost all the dwell-
ing-house, out-houses, with the furniture, wood and corn-
stacks, were consumed ; it being nearly three miles from
the town, there was but little assistance to stop the pro-
gress of the flames. The property was insured.—Western
Lunzizzary.
The Quadrant, in Regent-street, presents every
evening a most disgusting spectacle, nearly every other
house being a gaming hell, where every allurement is held
out both to the proficient and the unwary to indulge in that
destructive vice ; and the keepers of which find themselves
not a little encouraged in their nefarious traffic by the im-
punity, accompanied with ridicule, with which all recent
proceedings against them have ended. _ _ _

Sunday ; shoemaker named Abraham Taylor, of
Heywood, presented himself at the altar, Rochdale old
church, to be married to a young female named Butter-
worth. When the minister was proceeding with the mar-
riage ceremony, Taylor ran out of the church, down
Packer-street, and several of the wedding party after him,
shouting " Stop thief, stop thief." He ran more than a
mile before he was apprehended, when he said it was only a
spree, he was not going to be wed. The female cried
most bitterly. We understand this is the second female he
has played a similar trick with. It appears the party had
subscribed 2s. Gd. each for him to get married , he had
possession of the cash. A good horsewhipping or three
months on the treadmill might be of some service to the
scoundrel.—Bolton Free Press.

Among local pecularities of the Irish, it is stated by
a recent tourist that " there are no white handled knives
to be seen south of a line to be drawn from Belfast to
Colerain ; while, to the North of that line, there none with
black handles."

On Saturday an inquest was held at the Harrow,
Compton-street, Clerkenwell, on the body of an infant
which was discovered in a coffin behind a tombstone in Pen-
tonville burying-ground. There was no external violence,
except that the nose had been flattened, as if a .hand had
been pressed on the face. After hearing evidence a ver-
dict was returned, " That the deceased was found indecently
exposed, but by whom, or whether it died a natural death
or otherwise, there was no evidence to prove."
A modest and unpretending mural monument
will shortly be erected in the old church of St. Andrew's,
Plymouth, in memory of that unrivalled comic actor and
intellectual mimic, Charles Mathews, whose remains lie
buried in that church. It is remarkable that the pulpit in
that ancient Roman edifice, consisting of wainscot, and
which has often been admired for its simplicity and the
beauty of its workmanship, is put together without the aid.
of one single nail.

Two capital executions took place at Be''twas on.
Wednesday last ; one of the men, named Guiliot, con-
demned for assassination and incest with his sister ; the
other, Caillotte, found guilty of parracide.. The hitter we .s
conducted to the scaffold in the costume appropriated to
those found guilty of such crimes, with a black veil over
in
sensible
at head, and barefooted. The former lay quite
at the bottom of the fatal cart. An immense crowd
nessed the horrible spectacle.
