At Valpairaiso, in Chili, a subscription is rais-
ing for the purpose of building a pantheon or burial place for
Protestants, and a considerable sum has already been collected.
On Tuesday last, a female passenger on board
the Hawk packet, William Lee, master, from London, was
safely delivered of a son, off Scarborough. Fortunately there
was another female passenger on board, who was unremitting
in her attention ; and the master, with the greatest promptness
and humanity, put back, hoisted a signal for a pilot, and pro-
cured medical assistance.—( Newcastle Chronicle. )
There was on Monday a large sale of salt-
petre consisting of 1,000 tons of the Hon. East India Com-
pany's, and 500 tons belonging to the private trade. The ex-
traordinary accounts from Verona had an effect of the value of
this article, not inferior to that which it had on the Spanish
Bonds, for it went off extzemely brisk, and prices advanced
from 225. to 265. per cwt. being an improvement of fully 16
per cent.
Last week a servant of Mr. SNAITII, of Tun-
stal, whilst ploughing out a field near that place,
turned up a number of silver coins to the amount
of 50, of a very early date, but in high preserva-
tion. We have in our possession at this time
ithree.of them, one of_ which has evidently been
coined at York. The other t,w9,,hav,e,been struck
in London. Finwitabus ,kte!c!,is on the rim of all
three ; and. the probability is, that they are pro-
ductions of the reign of EDWARD
Rockingham.)
SURGICAL OPERATION.—Mrs. Cunningham,
aged 45, of Monkwearmouth Shore, had been
labouring under disease for upwards of twelve
months, in consequence of an enormous malig-
nant tumour growing from and occupying nearly
one-half of the abdomen. Her sufferings became
so great, that an operation was proposed, and
performed by her surgeon, Mr. Swan, on the
14th of last month. The tumour, after being
removed, weighed four pounds, and, when dis-
sected, it was found to contain a round bone, the
size of a common hand-ball, which, upon being
sawn through, was found to contain a deposition
,of calcareous matter. We are happy to say that
Mrs Cunnhigham is now perfectly recovered.—
Durham Chronicle.)

A dreadful accident happened between two
brothers of the name of Davenport last week,
in a field near Leominster, in Hereford-
shire. They were engaged in spreading the
dung on the land, and the younger one
having greatly provoked and aggravated the
other, he, in an unguarded moment, took
up a shovel that was close by him, and
struck with it at his brother's head, which
knocked him down and wounded the head
severely ; he was immediately conveyed to Leo-
minster, and great doubts are entertained of
his recovery. The aggressor was afterwards
committed to prison to wait the result of his
brother's fate. As might be supposed, it has
thrown r large family into the greatest distress.—
(Extract of a private letter.)
ATTEMPT AT SELF-DESTRUCTION.---0n Mon-
day afternoon a decent elderly woman was ob.
served walking in a melancholy manner about the
wharf of Mr. WILITBREAD, near the canal-bridge,
Camden-town. After cautiously looking round
to see if she was observed, she knelt down and
seemed to pray in a most fervent manner, after
which she plunged herself into the water the
depth of about 5 or 6 feet.. Mr. Coombs, a gentl-
man who observed her actiOns, humanely jumpeed
in, and at the risk of personal safety, succeeded
in saving her from her desperate attempt. She
was immediately taken to the house of Mr. Early,
the Oxford Arms, near the bridge, and through
the benevolent exertions of Mrs. Early, the
landlady, and others, she was shortly restored.
She seems a well-informed intelligent woman,
and says her name is Mary Dunn, that she
was provoked to the commission of the rash
act in consequence of the treatment of her
unnatural daughter, who turned her out of doors,
and of the parish-officers refusing to relieve her
distresses. In the course of the evening she was
removed to the Pancras workhouse, where she
was kindly received by the master, and comfort-
ably provided for ; but she refuses to tell where
her daughter resides, or what parish she belongs
to ' • and in reply to, questions put to her yes-
terday by some gentlemen who visited her, she
exclaimed Oh ! my daughter my cruel
daughter shall never know what becomes of me !
