CIDER.,—The crop in Devonshire will be a general
failure. We hear that one grower alone, Mr. Kingdon, of Thorverton,
near Exeter, states that he will lose 3001. by tip, blight this year. Great
advance has been made in the cultivation of cider throughout Devon•
shire, and large quantities have been of late exported from that county
to Turkey. Mr. Kingdon, the gentleman alluded to above, has made
the adaptation of specific fruits to soil and aspect the study of many
years ; and a Devonshire friend assures us that his cider might fre.
quently be mistaken for champaigne.

COURT OF CHANCERY.—In the case of Saunders
v. Smith, which was left unfinished yesterday when we went to press, the
Lord Chancellor postponed the further argument till Friday.

On Monday week, Elizabeth Lord, a girl about ten
years of age, employed in the factory of Mr. Hilton, at 'Harpurhey, was
seen by the overlooker with her head against a shall, and as if she were
being strangled. He immediately stopped the machinery, and went up
to her, when he found that the shaft had caught a handkerchief which
she wore round her neck. When liberated, the poor girl ejaculated,
"Oh my neck!" and expired almost immediately. The machinery was
not boxed off at the time, but orders have been since given that it be
boxed off immediately.—Manchester Guardian.

A GIIOST.—We have been very much amused,
(says a highly respectable Correspondent), within the last few days, by a
story which is in circulation in the lower part of our city, of one of those
nocturnal visitors (the spirit of a murdered person, ef covse), having ap-
peared to the wife Gf a respectable citizen, taking her into the vault of
the house, and pointing out where the remains of the murdered person
would be found; and of the husband and landlady having, on the fol-
lowing day, caused the earth to be dug to the depth of six feet or there-
abouts, wherenot even a mutton bone was found to confirm the state.
ment of the affrighted lady! Need we be surprised at the conduct of
Courtenay Thorn's followers when we hear of occurrences like the above
happening in the very heart of our refined city ?—Bath Herald.

On Friday last, a public dinner was given by
the Liberal electors of South Essex, at the Saracen's Head Inn,
Chelmsford, to C. E. Br:milli, Esq.,' for the purpose of present-
ing a piece of plate to that gentleman, as a testimony of their esteem for
the manner in which he came forward to support their c :use at the late
election. The piece of pate to be presented to Mr. Brantill
was placed on a crimson stand in front of the chair. It is a splendid
epergne, but would firm also a candelabrum, weighing 145 ounces, the
cost of it being 1 u 11. The foliage is composed of convolvuluses, and
roses and rose-leaves, and the other parts are richly chased. On one
side are engraven the arms of Mr. Branfill, and on the other the follow.
ing inscription :—" Presented, June 15th, 1535, by the Liberal Elec.
tors of South Essex, to Champion Edward Branfill, who as a Candidate
in three Conteted Erections in three successive years fought their bat.
Iles right onward—in Liberty's defence."

culated, en the one hand, to advance to the greatest possible extent the

pendence among Electors; the exposure and punishment of intimida-
lion ; the reparation of injury which individuals may suffer for voting

grounds for believing that the party complaining has sufFered in conse-
quence of his independent exercise of the franchise. The Division, if
the decision be affirmative, to determine what amount and what soft of
reparation should be afforded. If a pecuniary vote be come to, and the
funds of the Division prove inadequate, application, under proper restric-
tions, to be made to the " Provincial Assembly," or through them to the
" Metropolitan Council." Every case of intimidation or bribery clearly
made out before a Judicial Committee, to be forwarded, by the Secretary,
to the " Provincial Assembly," for transmission, ultimately, to the

by parties who have not sufFered for voting conscientiously, to be treated

ing this as far as possible by their private influence ; to connect the whole

thodize the reports of intimidation and bribery cases for the "Me.
tropolitan Council ;" to assist the Institution, when necessary, by
promoting subscriptions in its favour, and to sanction, when they
see fit, applications for pecuniary aid from poor Divisions to the
wealthier portions of " The League" and the " Metropolitan Council ;"

and bribery cases within their bounds, along with regular series of all
the Reports of the " Metropolitan Council."

from the " Provincial Assemblies" of all cases of bribery and intimida-
tion, and, after subjecting them to careful revisal, to cause them to be
published, by authority of " The League," all over the kingdom ; to
issue annual reports of the progress of the Institution ; to adopt such
general means as may be approved of for advancing the great object in
view, particularly pressing on the attention of the Legislature measures
calculated to elevate the stzndard of public intelligence and virtue;

from " District Divisions" and " Provincial Assemblies" where much
political oppression has occurred.

The inhabitants of Wiesbaden are accustomed to
pass their Sundays in the summer in the park of the Grand Duke of
Nassau, ,t the foot of Mount Taunus. On May 27, a little gill, not three
years old, strayed from its parents, who had glue to this park, and could
no where be found. They were obligod at length toieturn home lathe
greatest distress without her, and wma to the director of the police., de-
positing 1,000 thalers as a reward for whoever should recover the lost
child. Two days after a pea•ant traversing the forest discovered the in-
fa.

ing on the grass iu one of its most retired rem:es, carefully
watched and guarded by a hind, whom the peasant had the greatest dial.
culty is driving away from its charge. Ile lot! no time in conveykng it
to its parents, who testified their grat.tude by offering the man double
the sum they had deposited; but he iefused to accept anything. The
child was well, except that its feet were swollen and it had a slight cough;
no account of how it lived fur the three days c;:uld be obtained from it.
except that it fed on herbs. The hind has since been taken, and placed
1.1 the menagerie of the Gran,: Duke.
On Friday last, when the London steam-packet,
Captain Taylor, was on her passage from London to this port, between
file Dud:Jeon and Cromer, one of the forecastle passengers leaped from
the paddle-box into the water. The sea was running very high at the
time, but Captain Taylor immediately gave orders to lower and man one
of the boats. This was accomplished as speedily as possible, and the
boat polled for the man. He was distinctly seem floating until the boat
r. ached within a few oars' length of him, when he sank, and never rose
again. Ile was dressed in black ; his luggage was Inark est "D. Love,
8:11 Co., 7th Eat., Royal Artillery." He was about 30 years old, and
