rings and pins, and a large stock of excellent wear-
ing apparel. Upon this discovery of the old hag's trea-
sure ueing made she was exceedingly mortified, and ex-
pressed in no very measured terms her regret that her
carelessness in leaving out the few shillings should have.
brought to light the property, that for years and years
her days, her nights, and health, had been consumed in
collecting. • It has since been ascertained by Mr.
Stronger that this wretched woman has actually been in
the receipt of Is: 6d. 'per week for a length of time from
one of the Unions in London. It also appears that two
or three months ago she was robbed of a live-pound
note and twenty sovereigns by a pensioner, but fearful of
a discovery-the old woman would not bring the thief to
justice.
WHIG OPINIONS OF THE SUFFRAGE OR SO-
VEREIGNTY OF THE PEOPLE.--Every approximation to-
wards a Chartist Constitution of the Legislature—that
is to say a Constitution regarding numbers as the sole
basis of power—is, pro tanto, an approach to the anerchy
which results from giving legal weapons for the war of
the poor with the rich—from giving legal mastery to
numbers simply, unqualified by possessions. That mas-
tery has never been used, and • never will be used, but in
one way. • Those who think it conducive to the progress
of social reforms that they should be commenced by
cheating a legislature whose natural tendency and pro-
peesity must be the overthrow of privilege, and the in-
vasion of property—(and they have neither read his-
tore nor marked mob oratory, who deny the passiene
and instinct of subversion, which lurk in the multitude,
and which their delegates must necessarily satisfy di-
rectly or indirectly, by the modes of sanguinary violence,
or of legislative fraud and chicane)—those echo think
vastly extended-constituencies the best inetrutnent of
social recerms—and an instrument which we must have.
without Reform Bill restrictions, in order to effect any
farther public improvements—mar consistently blame the.
RefOrm Ministers for having refused to aid them in
feaMing that instrument, and forcing it through a second
struggle with the aristocratical powers of the State.
Those,on thecontrary, who believe that on the avoidance
of such a struggle depended our avoidance of civil dis-
cord, or unbalanced democracy (which in an old coun-
try necessarily draws discord—because spoliation—after
it) must feel their gratitude due to the Whig Govern-
ments, precisely on the same grounds, as the promoters
of that democracy deem them worthy of censure. It is
not then for their much railedat " finality " that we
blame the late Ministers. We believe with the Lords
Mercury and the Morning chronicle, that the Parlia-
mentary constituency wants expurgation much more
than exteneion.—Globe.

TIIE• WELSHMAN AND THE PAPER.—He
used to take in a fork-tight-old " daily London paper,"
which, hi his remote corner of Wales, would arrive by
and three, and four at a their, according to the car-
rier's visits. Once there was an account, in the first
paper he opened, that a great battle in ;Spain had been
fought, in which the Welsh regiments had signalizA
themselves, and the next paper was to contain lists of
names, &c. Of course every mother, sister, and sweet-
heart expected to find their own favourites among the
heroes, and besought the old Welshman to open the se-
cond paper instantly ; but he coolly locked it in a drawer
unopened, saying, " To•morrow you shall hear, but
mine is a daily paper, so there, cannot be two for the

same day." - -
ENLIGRATION.—There are three ships at Loch-
thaddy, North List, taking in emigrants from the neigh-
bouring parishes of Harris and South .Uist, for Cape
Breton. The Earl of Dunmore gives one pound sterling
ahead to the most destitute families from his property.—
Edinburgh Advertiser.
The district of the South Staffordshire coal
field is said to support., by its mineral riches alone, •a po-
pulation of upwards of 200,000 individuals.
A WESTMORELAND JURYMAN.—We believe
that the character of a Westmoreland juryman is pretty
generally known, and although they do not rank
the Very highest in the scale of excellence, there may
occasionally be found glimpses of originality and symp-
toms of independence of thought and action which would
far exceed the demure punctiliousness of more accom-
plished juries. The following is a case in point:— A
worthy farmer, whose crops were ready for housing,
after having been for some time exposed to bad weather,
was most unwillingly obliged to leave all and attend at
Appleby to decide some momentous case or cases, and
by his verdict vindicate the righteousness
,of the law.
Many a time and oft did his racked ingenuity devise
liberating things for his devised absence from the wigs
and robes, white, black, and scarlet, of which he was so
uneasy a spectator. At length, grown desperate in his
impatience, he summoned courage and walked up to the
Judge—took hold of his bristly top pan and pulled it as
submissively and respectfully as he knew how, and got
himself delivered of the follewing most humble request:—
" I say, sir, I've Bitten rae hay down, and I sud like et
gang yham, if ye'l excuse me, if ye pleas like." The
Learned Judge looked unutterable things at Johnny
Roe, but asrured him if what he wanted was to leave
the Court and go home, he could not interfere, and he
must do his duty.—Kendal Mercury.
SIR JOSHUA WALMSLEY.—He had arrival
in Liverpool by the railway, after a journey of consider-
able length, and on alighting from the carriage he found
a difficulty in, using his right leg, owing to a stiffness ap-
parently caused by holding it long in the same position.
On attempting to walk, two of the muscles close to the
knee suddenly broke, and so completely disabled him
that he was obliged to be conveyed home. Sir Joshua
is confined to his residence.—Liverpool Courier.

day contains an interesting communication from Mr. J.

ing symptoms to Which persons with impairiA hearing

SUDDEN DEATH OF A CLERGYMAN.—The
Rev. George Preston, of Dean's Yard, Westminster,
died on ,Monday night, after a very few hours' ill-
ness. This gentleman had, , filled the situation of
Second Master of 'Westminster School for a number
of years, with much credit to himself, and to the great
benefit of the boys, as a tutor. Immediately his death
was known, the inhabitants of Christ Church, New-
gate-street, of which the lamented gentleman was rec-
tor, held a meeting, when a memorial to the Governors
of Saint Bartholomew's Hospital (in whose gift the
living is, alternately with the Dean and Chapter of
Westminster), praying that they would appoint the
Rev. G. Everard to fill the ,vacancy, he having for up-
wards of six years performed the whole duty, was una-

sistible, and talked up " purty considerable." A plan,
however, was soon contrived to lake the conceit out of
him. 'there being some grindstones in the store fir

up in the same manner as the mwese had been, and
looked precisely as if it were a second cheese, and Par-

operation became intense. Everything was carefully
adjusted, and upon the word being given, Parsis darted
like an arrow at the ambush grindstone—he struck it
fair in the centre, and the next instant lay sprawling in
the middle of the floor, upon which he recoiled. }or
some minutes he lay speechless, and then he raised him-
self slowly on his knees, and scratching his head, said,
with a squirming face—..“ fiery hard cheese dat, masse

hogsheads 4,669 tierces, and this year it is 48,766 hogs-
heads 5,598 tierces. In 1839, however, we had received
as much as 63,061 hogsheads 5,958 tierces up to the same
date. The consumption last year during the same
period exceeded what it has been this year by upwards
of 16,000 hogsheads, having been 60,240 hogsheads
6,067 tierces ; whereas fur 1841 it stands only at 44,346
hogsheads 4,757 tierces. Then as to the stocks, though
greater than in 1840, they are still not much more than
half what they were in 1839, for in September of thai
year they were 30,955 hhds.; in the same month last year
14.631 hogsheads,and now 30,955 hhds. The chnsump-
tion of Havanah, Brazil, and Porto Rico, is very trifling ;
but in that of Bengal there has been a great increase.
The imports, consumption, and stock of rum have fallen
off this year, but this not being essentially necessary to
the comfort of the poorer classes, is no evil. The ex-
portation, we perceive, has rather increased. Coffee has
not benefited so much by the dearness of tea as might
have been expected ; for while the consumption of some
qualities has increased, that of others has fallen off. The
imports show a decline generally, but the stock of that
imported by way of our colonies—the Cape of Good
Hope, for instance—and thence admitted for home con-
sumption at the reduced duty of 9d. per lb., has increased
nearly two-fold.

FROM THE DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY,

GLOBE.—The Times of this morning commenced an
nrtiele in its own peculiar style upon the nuisance of
svhat it calls " a sort of one-sliilling-gallary-class in the
nresent House of Commons," whose hindrance to pub-
lic business is really a serious annonyance to those who
come to Parliament not to behave rudely, but to legislate.
That there is such a party in the House we are well
aware ; but it consists of Conservatives rather than of
Radicas, and the only duties its memberS appear capa-
ule of performing are the supporting or damning, as
the case may be, any legislative drama or farce that the
Tories may wish to be received with applause, or con-
demned without even being listened to. This system
of engaging claqueurs should, we think, be left ,to the
theatrical managers ; for, if it is carried much further
in Parliament, we may expect to find Sir Robert
Peel called for at the end of a speech, and Lord
Stanley greeted with showers of bouquets, as Rubini
(not his Lordship's superior in astonishing roulades and
remarkable faLetto passages) is inundated with floral
trophies at the termination of an opera. We really
think the Lower House would not suffer much in
character and respectability by the exclusion of
those Honourable Members whose facilities in imi-
tating the crowing of a cock, or the braying of an
ass, are the only attributes brought into play in the dis-
charge of their senatorial functions. Perhaps the ac-
complishment that enables some of these gentlemen to
utter sounds like those emitted by a donkey, would not
be thought so surprising if it were only to be remem-
bered that nature may have even more to do with
it than art; and that " braying" is an easy and perfectly
natural, instead of a difficult and acquired, mode in
witch to express themselves. Perhaps, as the legisla-
tive pieces to be produced in the ensuing season by the
Tory managers will be intended to succeed, the human
attrit.ut is of the (liqueurs will be put into more than
usual requisition, and " hear, hear" will be substituted
for "cock-a-doodle-doo," as the substance of their future
speeches in Parliament.

- STANDARD—What do the Protestants of Ireland
care about Ministerial offices ? Is is not enough for
them to see that they have no enemies in the Cabinet—
that we are all to be governed by the statesmen who
in 1835 sacrificed office rather than desert the Pro-
testant Church, and who have since fought the battle
of the Protestant cause for the last , seven years ? If
they doubt the character of the new Government, let
them read Mr. O'Connell's last speech. But the
leaders of the Irish Protestant party are neglected. We
know of no leader of an Irish Protestant party ; we
know, indeed, of men who destroyed the Irish protestant
party eight or nine years ago, but we know now of no Pro-
testant party in its leaders. We know of the Protestant
party of the empire, but we know its leaders to have been
for years such men as the Duke of Newcastle, the
Duke of Buckingham, Lord Lowther, Sir Edward
Knatchbull, and others. But we find the son of the
Duke of Newcastle in office ; we find the Duke of Buck-
ingham in the third place in the Cabinet, in official rank
preceding even the Premier ; we find Lord Lowther in
office ; we find Sir Edward Knatchbull in office ; and,
an appointment which will rejoice every sincere Pro-
testant, we find Colonel Perceval in office. If we do
not find other men as good in office also—Lords Win-
ehilsea, Lorton, Farnham, Sir Richard Vyvyan, Sir Ro-
bert Inglis—it is because office has no charms for them.
Lint the heads of the Protestant party in the United King-
dom have had their full share in the disposal of offices
and the Protestants of Ireland know that they may
trust them. Were any ill intentions towards the
Protestant cause entertained exactly the opposite
course would be pursued. " The Irish leaders" would
he secured by plsce, which has never failed to
secure them, and the "impracticable ultras" of England
would be, carefully excluded. But would we have it in-
rred frbm this that the design of the new Government
is not to use all the means that ought to conciliate the
Roman Catholics of Ireland ? Certainly not. Sir R. Peel will
unquestionably employ all such means—and he ought to do
so, for he is called to administer impartially the government
of a whole people. He may fail—it were wrong to say he
will fail—but he may fail ; but in what position will
-.uch a failure place him and the Irish Protestants who
shall co-operate with him ?—in that high position of
power and character which is always the reward of well
Acing . Irish Protestants ought to believe us when we
promise this, because we have never made them a
promise which has not been fulfilled to the letter.
We told them in 1836, that by dissolving the Orange
:societies they would arm all England in their favour.
The elections of 1841 will tell whether we were right.
Let them heartily support and implicitly confide in Sir
Robert Peel's Government—we promise them if they
do so, if not victory, what is better, the fruit of victory
without the pain of a contest.

PREROGATIVE COURT.-TUESDAY.
IN THE GOODS OF ALICE KELHAM.

...... .
The deceased died on the 27th of July, leaving per-
sonal property of the value of 34,0001., besides a real
estate worth 2,000/. She left a will and two codicils,
which were found locked up in a box, of which she had
the key in her bedroom. The will was dated in 1829 ;
the codicils in 1833 and 1839. The will when found exhi-
bited alterations made by the deceased herself, appa-
rently after the year 1838, in favour of Mr. Kelham, her
executor ; but, unfortunately, she had not had the alter-
ations attested ; they were consequently void under the
Act, and it was difficult to ascertain what the words
were before the alteration, except having recourse to
parol evidence, which is excluded.
The COURT directed that the paper should be exa-
mined by persons skilled in making out writing attempted
to be obliterated.
IN THE GOODS OF JOHN LYNN, OTHERWISE FINLAY.
The deceased in this case died on the 11th of March, a
widower, without child or parent. On the 7th of April
administration of his effects was granted to Alexander
Lynn, his brother, but who described the deceased as a
" bachelor." The alias was accounted for in this way :
The deceased had been impressed into the navy in 1796,
and deserted • upon which he assumed his mother's name
of Finlay, which he retained till his death, at which time
he was a publican, having been a master of a vessel till
1823.

The COURT required some explanation as to the cir-
cumstance of certain stock, of which Mr. Alexander
Lynn had got possession, having been purchased in the
name. of " John Lynn, mariner" as well as proof that he
was the same person as " John Finlay, publican."
The COURT disposed of several other motions of no
interest. Dr. Daubeny sat for Sir 11. Jenner.

subjected in the station-house, upon being locked up in

THAMES-OFFICE.

Russell Dodd, the Captain of the steam towing-vessel
London, belonging to the Thames Steam Towing Com-
pany, was brought before Mr. Broderip on a warrant,
charged with assaulting Mr. William Tucker, a master
lighterman, on the river.
Mr. Tucker stated that on Thursday afternoon he was
alongside the Eagle, off Downe's Wharf, in his skiff, and
saw the London steamer corning down the river at full
speed towards him. He considered himself in the
greatest danger, and called out to Captain Dodd, who was
on the stage near the paddle-box, to ease her, and ex-
claimed, " Don't run over me," which he repeated several
times. Next day I saw
,Captain Dodd, and informed
him that I was about to make a complaint to the Magis-
trate, and the only answer he made was, " if I had sunk
your boat or drowned you, I must have paid for it." I
consider I had a very narrow escape of my life.
Captain Dodd said he had no intention to go near Mr.
Tucker or his skiff, but there were boats on the other
side of him, and to avoid them he was obliged to go near
the brig and touched the skiff.

Mr. BRODERIP asked if there were any boats on the
other side of the steamer ?

. -
Mr. Smith said that his principal object in waiting
upon the representative of the Lord Mayor was to return
thanks to his Lordship for having ordered his liberation
from the station-house, in which he had been locked up
for a considerable time, upon his own recgnizances to
appear to answer the charge. He had commenced his
proceedings (which those who know him were perfectly
aware did not correspond with the vile transactions of
the Fair, when Inspector Hodson, of the City police,
caused him to be dragged to the station-house like a
felon, and locked him up for four hours in a cold damp
cell, in which there was no bed or accommodation of any
kind, and in which he should have been detained if it
had not been for the humanity of the Lord Mayor.
Alderman WiLsoN--Was there no place in which to
lay down ? _ _

Mr. Tucker assured the Magistrate there were none
at all.

Mr. BRODERIP said if the defendant had no further
defence to make, he should hold him to bail for the as-
sault. In a case where a man rowed after another with
the intention of rowing him down, and the party escaped
into a garden, the Learned Judge, Lord Tenterden, held
that the transaction amounted to an assault. He ordered
the defendant to find bail, himself in 801., and two sureties
in 201. each to answer the charge at the sessions.

FROH THE MORNING 'PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.
TIMES.—The accounts from Liverpool of yesterday's
date, in alluding to the temporary check business had
received through the late failures, state that in more than
one instance the extent of liabilities and ultimate loss to
creditors had been much exaggerated. The failures in
connexion with the cotton trade would not prove so dis-
astrous as were at first imagined ; the market for that
staple was, nevertheless, dull.
The statutes which have been passed and approved by
the King of the Belgians for the formation of a " Bank
of Flanders," have been published in the Belgian official
papers. Ghent is selected for the head-office of the Bank,
which, however, is to extend its branches in any direc-
tion, with the authority of the Government. It is em-
powered to issue notes payable on demand, the amount
calculated upon the capital, and their value to be deter-
mined by the Administration, and approved by the Go-
vernment. The capital is to consist of 10,000,000 f. di-
vided into 10,000 shares of 1,000 f., with liberty to the
Company to commence operations when half the capital
:is subscribed, and in the event of an increase of busi-
ness, to increase its capital to the extent of 20,000 shares
at the same price as the original. Such an increase re-
quires the consent of a majority of three-fourths of the
Shareholders, and the approval of the Government. The
:affairs of the Company are to be directed by a Presi-
elent and four Administrators, all to be appointed by the
general meeting, and a Secretary is to be appointed by
the administration, who is to countersign the correspon-
dence. The operations of the Company are to consist in
discounting bills of exchange, in collecting the amount
ef bills, &c., placed in their hands by others, in receiving
sums and paying draughts for others, in opening de-
posit accounts, in making advances upon ne•ionaf secu-
rities or upon commercial bills, in opening are 'its in ac-
count current on receiving sufficient secu ity, in issuing
'bligations bearing interest, and in invest,..,; capital in.
real securities or the public funds, that is, by making
purchases. as speculation of any kind, whether in the
funds or in merchandise, is strictly prohibited. The
:profits are to be divided, first by an allowance to the
sshareholders of 5 per cent. as interest, the remainder to
orm the Company's dividend.
The principal feature in the formation of this Bank is
its immediate control by Government, whose sanction, it
is seen, is required to determine the amount of issue.
At the same time, while full control is thus given to the
Government, the Bank is prohibited from being under
:edvanees to the Government, so that it will not in its
earn exert a reciprocal influence, which might ultimately
emable it to have the Government at its mercy, as is the
case with the State Banks of America. What will be
t'-:e progress of the institution it is impossible at this time
to conjecture, even in the remotest degree, as even the
principle on which the notes are to be issued is yet un-
.ietermined. Everything, supposing the requisite means
.are at hand, will depend on the wisdom, caution, and
tieresight of the Belgian Government.
CHRONICLE.—We understand that letters from Li-
verpool armounce that the houses of Molyneux and Co.
and Maury and Co. are likely to pay 20s. in the pound,
Their engagements may be computed at 500,0001.
The stagnation in trade and the distress now prevail-
ing in the manufacturing districts have been produced
iby the disturbing influence of the Corn-laws upon the
.currency. Our readers will excuse us for repeating that
truth, and for not only denying, but endeavouring to dis-
prove the assertion of the Tory Premier and the monopo-
list press, that they are the offspring of over-tradinee tared by the joint.stock banks, arid of the unsettled state
of our political relations with foreign countries. We do not
.lispute that some of the. joint-stock banks have departed
Crorn the legionfate purposes of banking, and entered
into transactions with manufacturers of an injudi-
cious character, which have ended disastrously fur all

Mr. Smith replied that there was neither bed nor
covering of any kind, and the want of that sort of com-
fort was very likely to be felt by a man of his advanced
period of life. He could answer for it, that confinement
in such a place was calculated to endanger life, and he
determined to represent the fact for the sake of others
who might be justly or unjustly deprived of their liberty
by the City police.
Inspector Brake, in answer to a question from Alder-
man Wilson, said there was no bed in the station-house
for the accommodation of those who were locked up.
Alderman WiLsoN—l should have thought that Mr.
Smith was sufficiently known to the City police
to be believed upon his promise to attend
before the Alderman to answer for any alleged violation
of the law, without being locked up in a cell. I must
bear my testimony to his conduct, of which I took par-
ticular notice during my mayoralty. I have heard him
frequently addressing crowds, and I am convinced that
everything he uttered was good. I have learned, too, that
he has done 'most extensive benefit through the king-
dom, for ho will go into places where other preachers
will not attempt to show themselves. I am convinced
that the City Commissioner is a gentleman incapable of
issuing orders of such severity against an individual who
never has been known to say anything of an injurious or,
even doubtful character, and I think that the circum-
stances ought to be represented in that quarter.
Inspector Brake (as we understood him) said that the
orders issued were of a general nature for the protection
of the peace, which was exceedingly liable to be broken
at such a place as Bartholomew Fair, and under such
circumstances.

Sir CHAPMAN MARSHALL stated that in his mayoralty
he had been obliged ;to interdict holdings forth of all
kinds in Smithfield, on account of the previous political
matter which the Socialists and others used to pour out
there.
Mr. Smith begged leave to say that he was not con-
nected with any party political or theological, either at
Smithfield or at Billingsgate, and that his object was to
check as far as was in his power the moral atrocities
which he saw daily committed, and of which Bartholo-
mew Fair presented the most hideous instances upe-
every occasion. The shows, at one time, were re'',..ace-d"
emthee-
but the extinction of the fair was the only we-
dyine• the horrible evils, and when in th

Alderman WTI-Lk),
advise you to go to the City Commissioner, who
never slip:
his cars to complaints, to my knowledge. If,
howe7er, you are not allowed to' do good in the City, I
trv.st you will persevere elsewhere.
A young woman, tamed Mary Oliver, barmaid to
Mrs. Walters, of the King's Head public-house, Pud-
ding-lane, was charged with having committed several
paltry thefts in the house of her mistress. The com-
plainant and her daughters would in all probability have
discharged the prisoner without appearing against her,
if it had not been for the fact that another servant had
been turned away from suspicion of having committed
the many robberies which the prisoner had been guilty
of ; and the prisoner was the person who awakened and
aggravated the suspicion. The most important article
missed was the wedding-ring of one of the young ladies,
a sort of memorial regarded with peculiar—indeed
amongst many of the sex—with superstitious veneration.
The ring was found in the prisoner's trunk, in a purse
which had been given by one of the ladies to the poor
girl who had been turned away ; and quantities of silver
on y
were
found amongst the prisoner's clothes, of which
m
n't doubt was entertained she had improperly pos-
ses"i herself at the bar which she attended.
The prisoner declared that all the articles were her
own, with the exception of the wedding-ring, which she
found on the floor, and intended to give to the owner,
but her memory failed her.
The owner of the ring asked the prisoner where she
got the purse ?
The prisoner—The purse ! Why, the ring was in it
when I found it.
The owner of the ring declared that that was quite
impossible, and that the prisoner must have stolen the
purse from the girl whom they had described as a thief,
and to whom witness had given it some time before.
The prisoner impudently denied the truth of the state-
ments against her, and was remanded for further exami-
nation.

SHIP-LAUNCH AT BLACKWALL.
On Tuesday a ceremony of this description—one in
which the English above all people ought to take, and do
take, a deep interest—was witnessed at the building-yard
of Messrs. Green, Wigram, and Green, Blackwall.
This vessel, thus sent forth to " find her home upon
the deep," has been built for the General Steam Naviga-
tion Company, and will form a valuable addition to their
already splendid fleet. She is of large dimensions, mea-
suring between 900 and 1,000 tons by the old, or from
1,000 to 1,100, of the new, measurement. It had been
fixed that the launch should take place at four o'clock,
but the state of the tide did not afford quite sufficient
depth of water at that hour, and it was rather more than
half-past four when the business of the day actually came
off. Nothing could have been more successful: The
noble vessel took the water as if she had always been
used to it ; and her debut was hailed with the heartiest
cheers by an assemblage far more numerous than the
unfavourable weather had permitted one to hope. At
the appointed signal, Lady Eleanor Lowther was good
enough to undertake the office of sponsor, and with the
usual observances conferred on her young charge the
name cf the " Trident."
Many members of the General Steam. Navigation
Company were present, naturally anxious to see the first
of this new creation of their own capital and enterprise,
and the Directors had also invited several of their friends,
among whom were Lady Grenville Somerset, and one of
her sons. Colonel and Lady Eleanor Lowther, and the
Misses Lowther, Lady Adelaide Webber, Sir Henry and
Lady Willock, Mr. Holmes, and some other ladies and
gentlemen, between sixty and seventy of whom partook
of an elegant dejeuner, provided by the Directors at
Lovegrove's Wrest India Dock Tavern. Mr. Wolverley
Attwood, the Chairman of the Company, presided with
the urbanity and savoir-faire of which he has so fre-
quently afforded proof on similitr occasions ; and with
the collation, where the best taste was exhibited in every
sense of the ward, were concluded the amusements of a
day that will be looked back to with much pleasure by all
who had the good fortune to be present.

THE WEATHER.—PARIS, MONDAY.---The
cold was unusually severe for the time of the year on
Saturday night and early yesterday morning. At mid-
night on Saturday the thermometer stood at 10 1-10th
above Zero of the Centigrade scale, or 50+ of Fahren-
heit ; at four yesterday morning it was at 8 C.. or 461
F., a degree so low that M. Chevalier, of the Tour
d'Horloge, declares it to have been unparalleled in the
early part of September during the last forty years. At
six the mercury rose to 10 5-10 C., or 50i. F., and at
seven to 12 3-10 C., or 54+ F. The afternoon was wet,
cold, and uncomfortable. During the storm on Friday
evening, a tree near the bridge of Asnieres was struck
by lightning, and stripped of its bark from the top down
to the roots. The storm appears to have been severely ,
felt at Rouen and the adjacent parts of Normandy, as
well as Lille and the surrounding districts. Hail fell at
Evreux of an enormous size. At Lille the lightning
struck a tree on the ramparts,• close to the powder
magazine.
