British articles. This expedition has been most advan-

orders will hereafter be made in Europe. It is astonish-
ing that cotton goods have found in the whole of the
East so extensive a sale, and that the French have so little
profitted of it.—lllonitezir.

the death, on the preceding day, of the Marquis Nunzi-

On Sunday evening, Isabella Frampton, a respect-
able inhabitant of a village near Manchester, having been
seduced by a young man, who had promised her to atone
for the injury by marriage, but who had failed to appear at
the appointed time, agonised to madness at this additional
instance of his baseness, and unable to bear the reflection
of bringing into the world a living instance of her shame,
formed the resolution of drowning herself, which she ef-
fected in some shallow water, nearly adjoining the residence
of her parent.
A vacancy will arise shortly in the naval command
of the fleet in the Mediterranean. The term of service of
Vice-Admiral Sir Josias Rowley, Bart., will expire in De-

Jackson is to be the Admiral's Flag-Captain.

a salutary lesson to many in possession of all their faculties.'

The plague is on the increase in the Turkish
capital ; in the week ending Sept. 17, 26 cases:had oc-

During the gale of wind, at 2 o'clock yesterday
morning, the whole of the steeple of Bayswater Church
was blown down, carrying with it the bell and all its heavy
appendages, which, in descending, did considerable damage
to the stonework in front.

A singular accident occurred to a horse, the pro-
perty of Mr. John Hogg, of Grove Mill, in Skircoat, a
short time ago. The animal having strayed into a garden
in the rear of the house, by some means got on the roof of
the cellar, which is nearly on a level with the ground, which
breaking through with it, left it suspended by the neck be-
tween the rafters a short time : ultimately it fell to the floor
of the cellar, a distance of about 14 feet, to the great alarm
of the inmates, and the destruction of a considerable quan-
tity of bottles, crockery ware, &c. The animal was much
cut and bruised ; after considerable difficulty it was extri-
cated, through the means of scaffolding, from its awkward
situation, and is now sufficiently recovered to resume its
work.—Halifax Express.
A WATER SPOUT.—Yesterday afternoon the in-
habitants of Cripplegate and White Cross-street were sur-
prised, and some not a little alarmed, by the sudden explo-
sion of an immense column of water, of about a foot and a
half in diameter, ascending several feet higher than the top
of the Debtor's Prison. The surrounding neighbourhood
was soon deluged, and nearly half an hour elapsed before
the cause could be removed, which was found to be from the
fracture of one of the mains of the New River Water Com-
pany in the construction of a new sewer connecting with
Aldersgate-street. The whole of the men engaged in the
excavations, more than 20 in number, made a rapid exit up
the ladders, being perfectly drenched, and apparently much
gratified at their narrow escape from a watery grave.
A vindictive and most disgraceful result of the late
disputes between the masters and workmen, at the Potte-
ries, has recently transpired. Soon after the differences, on
the arrival of various crates of goods at their respective
destinations, complaints, in no measured terms, were made
on the shameful quality of the new ware ; as soon as it came
to be washed, and notwithstanding the most careful hand-
ling, the articles broke, as if by magic, into a thousand
pieces. The justice of the complaint havinc, been confirmed
to the retailers, the manufacturers, who had' previously en-
joyed the highest repute, were written to, and, after a care-
ful investigatiod, it was ascertained that the rebellious
workmen had maliciously intermixed with the clay a large
portion of quick lime, which, of course, led to the imme-
diate fracture of the goods in every instance where water
was applied. The mortified manufacturers have behaved
most liberally to their connexions under these circumstances ;
they have allowed for all the defective goods, have sent for
every article even suspected of unsoundness, and taken the
greatest caution to prevent a repetition of the annoying
mischief.—Taunton Courier.

Between one and two o'clock yesterday afternoon
the family of Mr. Gresham, a respectable tradesman, re-
siding at No. 25, Exeter-street, Lisson-grove, was plunged
into a state of the most poignant distress and affliction by
the following melancholy and distressing occurrence :
Mr. Gresham's youngest daughter, three years of age, was
sitting on the hearth-rug before the fire, having been left
by herself for a few minutes, when a blazing coal flew out
of the grate, and, falling in her lap, instantly set fire to her
frock, and the flames rapidly communicating to the rest of
her apparel, she was in a few seconds in a body of fire from
head to foot. Her screams brought some of the inmates of
the house to her assistance, but before she could be di-
vested of her burning clothes she sustained such dreadfully
severe and extensive injury, that she expired soon after being
conveyed to the North London Hospital, in Upper Gower-
street, Bedford-square. The poor infant was literally
roasted alive.

How TO FOUND A FAMlLY.—Lismore and its
ancient castle are now the property of the Duke of De-
vonshire, having descended to him through the intermar-
riage of his Gustily with that of the Earls of Cork and Bur-
lington. The founder of this family—the famous Sir
Richard Boyle—purchased from Sir Walter Raleigh, for
a mere trifle, 1,5001., the vast grants in this county and
Cork which had been conferred upon him by Elizabeth. He
arrived in Ireland in 1533, with no other property, as he
himself relates, than 271. 35. in money, two cloaks, and a
rapier, a taffety doublet, and a diamond ring, the gift of
his mother ; yet, in an incredibly short space of time, he
became master of so extensive a tract of country, and of
so many castles, monasteries, and abbeys, as to excite the
jealousy of the Government, to whom a return of his es-
tates was made by the Treasurer-at-War and the Judges
of the King's Bench. The secret of this sudden rise is
suspected to have been a covert agency from the Court of
Spain, which supplied him with money, for the purpose of
gaining possession of the principal forts, in order to facili-
tate their meditated descent upon Ireland. Whether this
charge be true or false, there is a singular mystery about
this man, and the means by which, in a few years, he
possessed himself of the greater portion of the forfeited
Desmond territory, acquiring upwards of twelve thousand
acres of the richest lands of Cork and Waterford, inclu-
ding the manors of Ballinatra, Straucally, and Lismore,
the towns of Youghal and Tallow, the Abbey of Molana,
in the Blackwater, and a number of minor castles and ec-
clesiastical foundations. Such was the alarm at the grasp-
ing propensities of this nobleman, that a by-law was actu-
ally passed by the Corporation of, Cork to prevent any
transaction for the sale of lands to the Earl. The majo-
rity of his vast possessions are now the property of the
Duke of Devonshire.—Correspondent of the Ulster Times.
