the same amount. The protested bills have diminished
by 270,000 f., and the overdue bills by 2,700,000 f. 'The
bank-notes in circulation have diminished by 500,000 f.

EFFECTS OF THE ELECTRIC FLUID.—A corres-
pondent of the Liverpool Mercury states as follows :
"On Monday last I was walking down North View,
with a friend, whose arm leaned upon mine, and I held
in my hand, to protect us from the rain, an umbrella,
the ribs and rod of which were of metal; suddenly I
felt a shock, like that of electricity, and became enveloped
with a blue fame. I stood bewildered for one or two
seconds, and immediately heard a loud thunderclap. Tho
lightning, attracted no doubt by the steel in my umbrella,
had struck me and given me the shock I felt. My friend
felt nothing, but merely saw the flame. When I went
home, on taking out my watch I found it had changed
to the colour of copper, and it remains so still."
FORGED BANK OF ENGLAND NOTES. —On Satur-
day the Bank authorities stopped several forged 10L and
5/. notes purporting to be of the Bank of England. The
51. notes are numbered between 23,834 and 24,384 U.D.,
dated Newcastle•on-Tyne, August 28th, 1547, signed J.
Ilawkes; the 101., No. V. K. 64,505, dated London, Oct.
4th, 1848, signed J. Cann. They are remarkably well-
executed, but may at once be detected by wetting, when,
if a forgery, the water-mark will instantly disappear.
This test is recommended by the Bank.

ROYAL ARTILLERY COMPANY.—A dispatch was
received at the Armoury House, Artillery-ground, on
Thursday evening last, addressed to the commanding
officer, superseding, by order of her Majesty, twelve
captains and nine lieutenants, and reducing all the
sergeants to the ranks.

COMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS' SCROOLS.—Yesterday
a sermon was preached by the Rev. Henry Melvill, 8.D.,
President of Haileybury College, at the church of St.
Lawrence Jewry, Gresham-street, before the Lord
Mayor and Sheriffs, and a numerous congregation, in
aid of the funds of the schools which have been recently
established for the purpose of maintaining and educating
the orphans and necessitous children of commercial tra-
vellers—a class peculiarly exposed, by the nature of
their occupation, to accidents and death. The appeal
made to the benevolent sympathies of the congregation
was munificently responded to, and the funds of the cha-
rity were enriched by the sum of 581. 10s.
We are glad to report that a number of locomotives
have just been ordered of the Messrs. Stephenson, of
this town, for a railway in Peru, which will afford ad-
ditional employment at those extensive works.—New-
castle Guardian.

RICHARD OASTLER ON THE ATTEMPTED DIVISION
OF THE WEST LONDON ANTI-ENCLOSURE SOCIETY AND
LIBRARY INTO USELESS BRANCHES.—The following
letter has been received by the secretary and founder of
the above society on the above subject:—
" Skeynes, Eden-bridge, Kent, Nov. 9, 1849.
" Dear Sir,—l am sorry your people are again dis-
puting. So long as the working classes will dispute and
quarrel among themselves they must suffer. I call
Peace! Peace! ! Peace! ! I Love! Love! Love! 1 I
Union! Union! 1 Union! ! I These are the graces that
should be encouraged. However, it is quite clear I gave
you the books for your society, so, of course, they will
follow your verdict.—l remain, dear Sir, yours truly,
" RICHARD OASTLER.
" To H. D. Griffiths, Secretary."
Whenever you see a small waist, think how much
health is wasted.—Eliza Cook's Journal.

HYDROPHOBIA.—The other day a sheep dog, in a
rabid state, attacked a female at Kinlochewe, and bit her
in a frightful manner. A medical gentleman who at-
tended shortly after the occurrence cut away the lace-
rated parts and cauterised the wounds. The patient has
evinced no symptom of the dreadful malady. The same
dog afterwards destroyed some sheep. A tow days pre-
vious the gamekeeper at Lochcarron destroyed a sheep
dog, apparently in a rabid state, in Coalin deer forest.—
Inverness Courier.

Do what you ought, and let what will come of it.

StOQl in the Free Church Lybeter.
