Among the narrow escapes at the recant steam-boat
explosion at Hull, of which we have heard, the following will
not by many bohought unworthy of record :—" The Rev. T.
Jackson, minister of the Methodist New Connection, with
Mrs. Jackson, and six children, who were on their way to
Doncaster, to which place Mr. Jackson had been stationed by
the late conference of the said community, narrowly escaped.
Mr. Jackson and family arrived in Hull about five o'clock on
Wednesday morning, by the Albatross packet, from Yarmouth.
Having got all his baggage on board the Thorne packet, he
and his family had just passed the Gainsborough packet when
the dreadful explosion took place; had they been a few moments
later they must have perished. When the explosion took
place, Mr. Jackson knelt down with three of his children, and
-prayed for Divine protection. While thus engaged, a large
portion of the boiler of the Gainsborough packet fell just be-
hind him, and a ponderous piece of wood and bar of iron fell
within a few inches of his head, and lay by his right side. On
rising from his knees Mr. Jackson sought the remainder of his
family, and found Mrs. Jackson with the infant in her arms
and a little boy by the hand. M..s. Jackson and infant had
both been knocked down. The eldest child was missing, but
was immediately found in another part of the packet. Having
collected together his family, Mr. Jackson requested them to
stand close to each other, assuring them that they were per-
fectly safe. One of his children weepingly exclaimed, Oh !
father, are we safe ?' Mr. Jackson replied,' Dare you believe
what I say ?' When the girl answered, ' Father, if you say
we are safe, I believe we are !' Mr. Jackson then replied,
We are safe, not a hair of our head will perish ;' with this the
children ceased to weep, and appeared pacified. Another cir-
cumstance in reference to the aforesaid gentleman ought to be
recorded. When the engineer of the Thorne packed eased
the steam, the noise created considerable confusion among
some of the passengers, they, in their greatly agitated state, be-
lieving it to be the beginning of another explosion. Mr. Jack-
son laid hold of several of them who appeared to be preparing
for leaping overboard if any thing should occur; and by his
expostulations and entreaties he succeeded in some measure in
calming their fears. Neitlwr Mr. Jackson nor his family sus-
tained any bodily injury. Their clothes were spoiled, being
literally covered with treacle, blood, and dirt."

The Emperor of Russia will leave his capital after
the review of the Guards in August, and go through the
western provieces of Wosmenesk, where the largest number
of cavalry, perhaps, ever assembled together in one place will
perform °volutions on a grand scale. There are to be 300
squadrons, about 4,500 men. At Wosmenesk the Imperial
Prince will juin the Emperor, and accompany him to the
Don ; there the Emperor will review 40,000 Cossacks, and
present them to the young Prince, their Hetmann. The Em-
peror will then go to Odessa and Sebastopol to inspect the
port and fleet, will there embark for the Trans-Caucasian
provinces, and return by the way of Moscow to St. Peters-
burg.—Frankfort Paper.

A young couple met, some days since, at the altar
of the parish church in the Pas de Calais, to receive the nup-
tial benediction. When the priest inquired of the bride,
" Do you vow to be faithful to as long as it shall
please God to leave you together ?" the girl suffered a smile
to appear on her countenance ; when a smart box on the ear
from the indignant priest brought the blood into her face, in
which state he left her, shutting the bc,ok, and declaring that
he would not complete the ceremony till she had expiated her
fault by penitence
