ENGRAVING ON MARBLE.—A discovery of
some importance to the statuary has recently been made
by Mr. C. Page, of Pimlico, by means of which engraving
on marble is greatly improved. In cutting letters in mar-
ble in the ordinary method the edges chip off, and the de-
fects arc covered by painting them over; but Mr. Page
obviates this difficulty by covering the surface of the po-
lished marble with a coat of cement before the chisel is
used. The cement effectually prevents the marble from
chipping, and when the coating is removed the letters re-
main as perfect as if cut in copper. •
BRUSSELS, AUG. 28.—The average price or
Wheat last week was 23f. 68e., and of Rye 121. 70c. per
hectolitre. The regulations for importation and exporta-
tion remain as before.
How THE LANDLORDS FEEL—A sturdy
Corn-law repealer was, the other day, on the top of a coach
in company with one of our most wealthy Tory landlords.
The conversation turned to the state of the harvest and the
Corn-laws, which our friead condemned in no measured
terms. The laird emphatically confessed he had come to
the same opinion, and stated what be knew to be the fact,
that the intelligent among the landed interest felt that to
maintain the Corn-laws was utterly hopeless; but, conti-
nued he, " it all depends on the unanimity and spirit of the
people. So long as they don't pull together we are com-
paratively safe ; but let them be united and determined,
and the landed interest will be like chaff before a strong
wind."—Scottish Pilot.
JONATHAN'S LAST.—The people live uncom-
mon long at Vermont. There are two men there so old
that they have quite forgotten who they are, and there is
nobody alive who can remember it for them.
AFFLICTING OCCURRENCE AT DELGANY,
Wiciumw.--On Friday evening Miss Daly was returning
from the sea with her niece in a pony carriage, drawn 11
a horse which she had driven for many years; from some
unknown cause the horse ran away, the carriage was
upset, and Miss Daly and her niece were violently dashed
upon the ground. Mr. Clever witnessed the melancholy
circumstance, and ran to raise the ladies from the ground.
Miss Daly was carried into the glebe in a state of insen-
sibility, and in three hours breathed her last. Her niece
sustained no injury.—Dublin Paper.
IMMENSE GOOSEBERRIE4.—A gardener be-
longing to Workington exhibited acme splendid goose-
berries in that market on Saturday last. He carried one
of them, known by the name of the roving lion, to our
correspondent in that town, which weighed not less than
seven-eighths of an ounce, and was equal in weight to
twenty-eight small berries gathered from the same tree.
Six berries were picked out of the same baske. which
aggregately weighed no less than four ounces.—Camber-
land Pacquet.
HINDU BELIEF.--The Hindu hell is a place
of punishment replete with the most terrific accompani-
ments. In painting its frightful features, all the fertility
of eastern imagination has been exhausted. The Scrip-
tures of Christianity are content with conveying to the hu-
man mind some conception of the misery and wretchedness
that await unrepented guilt, by calling forth the figures of
darkness unutterable; the tortures of a fire that is never
quenched; the gnawings of a worm that never dies;
weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth. The Brah-
minical books affect to describe the place of future punish-
ment with the minutest exactness; portioning the species
of punishment that there awaits the wicked, and the pe-
riods to which they shall be subjected to its penalties, pro-
portioned, of course, to the magnitude of their crimes on
earth. The universally-received doctrine of ultimate ab-
sorption of every thing into the Deity, precludes the belief
of the eternity of hell torments; and, according to the
orthodox creed, the most wicked and unholy are at length
so purified, and made perfect, as to be fit for this, the last
.
and happiest state of being—the a enihilation of individu-
ality, and the utter and final extinctiol of all delusion ; in
one word, the destruction of the work: of man, which
ie
delusion, and nothing else ! Millions of
higher grade; thousands circumscribe the penalti
ears, however,
are allotted in the regions of Pinata for jott',.•tCes of the
minor offences. But d • uring all this term of trial ant; pro-
bation, the • • • criminal is permitted again to return in anot:.er
form to the world
of delusion that he may be prepared.b".
the better discharge, or otherwise, of the duties of his
new state, to approach nearer and nearer to its final destiny,
t,s due to
or to merit a still longer and more fearful purgation in
Patala. Such is the Hell of the Hindu ; it follows, that
the true Heaven of the Brahminical faith is absorption
into the Deity.—From Dr. Bryce's Sketches of Native
Education in India.

A VICIOUS HORSE.—Between eight and nine
o'clock on Thursday morning a young man, who obtains A
livelihood by retailing milk, was proceeding with his cans
down Golden-lane, when a horse, which was standing in
front of a fishmonger's shop, suddenly seized him with its
teeth, and before he could extricate himself it dragged
him into the road, and severely lacerated his shoulder.
The owner of the horse, upon being visited by the lad's
father, so far from expressing regret at the occurrence,
loaded him with abuse, whereupon the latter waited upon
Mr. Codd, the Magistrate, who, on hearing the circum-
stances, directed a summons to issue against the fish-
monger, under a clause in the new Police Act, which con-
stitutes the use of " abusive, threatening, or insulting lan-
guage," an offence punishable with fine or imprisonment.
THE BARBERS AND THE NEW POLICE ACT•
—The barbers of Somers-town have adopted means of
evading the new police regulations, by which public-
houses pre ordered to be closed on Sunday mornings.
They are determined that the people shall not be deprived
of their " drop of comfort," for they intend charging
threepence for shaving, instead of three half-pence, and
to make each customer a present of a glass of gin. In
this case there is little doubt that few lovers of " strong
waters" will go unshaved, if they do not pay a second
visit to the barber.
