LON )ON, TUESDAY. AUGUST 31, 1847.

The intelligence just received by the Overland 1
Mail, from Bombay, consists, for the most part, of a
Recession of cruelties and brutalities perpetrated by
Asiatic barbarians. What is wanting in political
importance is made up in individual atrocities. In
the Punjaub, for example, the diabolical conspiracy
which has been so long and so repeatedly spoken of,
was being unravelled ; and although most of the pre-
ceding conjectures appear to have been gross exagge-
rations, the chief conspirator PREMA has revealed
many facts of a diabolical character, in which even
the RANEE is said to have been implicated. At
Caubul it would seem that a sanguinary encounter
had taken place between the Caubalees and the Kuz-
zilbashes ; and the ground seems to have been plen-
tifully fattened by the blood shed in their dissen-
sions. At Sinde a party of Thugs—stranglers and
poisoners by profession—had been incarcerated. At
Nepaul, the old Raja had been deposed by JUNG
BAHADOOR, in consequence of an intercepted letter
from his Highness to KATM tNDOO, accusing the
Minister of continual and systematic depravities. At
Oude the Sovereign was relapsing into a brutish in-
dulgence of his appetites ; his Minister, the Wuzeer,
was reviving from the attempt at assassination; while
the cut-throats, who endeavoured to effect his de-
struction, continued in a state of lingering
torment for the expiation of their brutalities. At
Goomsoor the disturbances were increasing instead of
abating, and the prospects of slaughter were being
realised. CHuKRA BISSATE, after cajoling Colonel
CAMPBELL, had assailed the Sebundie pest near
Posera, and obliged the inhabitants to demand the
immediate aid of reinforcements. In the do-
minions of the N !ZAN the pecuniary dif-
ficulties are rendered a matter of secondary
consideration by the recurrence of deeds of a more
terrible and threatening nature. According to the
last information received from those territories, the
lohillas bad mustered in considerable numbers, and,
eturning towards the city, had encamped some three
miles from the cantonment. Here they were for-
mally visited by lIUSSUZi 1Z
-00 D-DEN liHAN' who
"'lain in a sudden and terrific eatee. TORA BAZ

relative of the principal assailant of this personage,
and a jemadar of the Rohillas, had been, in a-e'
conse-
quence of this outbreak, nearly bludgeoned into the
other world, while his followers continued in a state
of sullen excitement the exacerbation, as it
may be termed, of the epidemic of sedition.
Be 3 ond these revolting occurrences, there is a de-
tailed account, in the dispatches which have arrived
from Bombay,
.of a trial before Sir ERSKINE PERRY,
of a man named BooLooK SARAIVIIN, for the wilful
murder of his sister-in-law. The circumstances of
this crime are of a nature so superhuman in guilt, as
to cast the deeds committed by TAweLi., GOOD, and
GREENAC RE into the shade by comparison.
Such is a rapid summary of the infamous proceedings
narrated in the information received from our Oriental
possessions and dependencies. The absence of anything
of any remarkable kind in regard to the consolidation
of our Indian Government, or to the pacification of
the adjoinin; principalities, is more than compen-
sated, as far as interest is concerned, by
joys
nat hne(fis eb
nt atrociouseheris
revelations. Appalling as are the vi
que
which pollute the lands of civiliz ed
they are when contrasted with the blessings 7
might be anticipated from the diffusion know-
ledgeof and the enforcement of religious principles, wnthie ash
they are as nothing when compared with the whole-
sale enormities by which the magnificent territories
of Asia are profaned and that atmosphere of guilt is
produced which its population is ever respiring.
These reflections should only enhance the exulta-
tion of every well-wisher of the human
family at the remembrance of our footing upon the
eastern continent. They should inspire us with sen-
timents of satisfaction frxn the reflection that civili-
zationnd Christianity must march onwards from
Hindoostan, and ultimately produce an emollient and
humanizing influence upon the idolatrous races of
the more remote countries of the globe. For these
reasons, as well as from
motives of a pecuniary and
commercial character, it is that we have continually
enforced the necessity of the retentiono of the superb
w
province conquered by the pr
the vigilant sagacity of its Governor,ess and guarded by
C ti ARLES
NATIER. Now that the solicitude to
allow Sir Sinde too
pail from our Alltbcority, if not from our protection,

seems to be, disappearing, it becomes a question of
peculiar int. vest to consider the most
.rational
as well as the most economical means of
turning the re sources of that country to our advan-
tage. Above a.ll, the nefarious achievements of such
men as DOONGUIr SINGH must be prevented, other-
with which he gallpped away
wise the impunity
with tha Government treasure of 27,000 rupees at
Nusseerabad.may encourage him to atte npt the pe-
riodical seizure of our local revenues. That those
revenues must accumulate and multiply with an ordi•
nary amount of prudence and precaution is certain
from the signs of. their advancement, even under the
present arrangement. The statistics furnished
in the Indian newspapers of the increase that
has taken place both in the exports and
imports of Sinde since its first occupation, show the
advisability of some more sagacious course being
adopted by the Anglo-Indian Government whereby
the policy of Sir CHARLES NAPIER may be carried
into operation and the original intention of his Ex-
cellency be fully realised. The clouds are clearing away
from the horizon of Sin3e, and time will shortly
testify that Sir CHARLES NAPIER has not merely
added a brilliant chapter to our military records, but
that he has opened a new and extraordinary channel
for our commercial enterprise, besides affording a
wider sphere for the dissemination of the advantages
of civilisation, and of the infinite blessings of Chris-
tianity.

It is gratifying to notice the progress and favour-
able prospects of well-selected railway lines in Ire-
land, from which the shareholders may fairly hope
for a handsome and remunerating dividend on the
amount of capital invested, and which will accelerate
the social and commercial intercourse not only in the
different parts of that country, but also with Eng-
land, will provide the farmer with a ready market
for his produce, and thus tend to improvements in
agricultural science and a better cultivation of the
soil—results that have ever followed the increased
traffic and facilities afforded by railway accommoda-
tion, and will, in every respect, further the develop-
ment of the industrial resources of the nation. How-
ever desirable the construction of railways in that
country may be, great mischief would be
occasioned by the indiscriminate support of
every description of projects, of those which might
be brought forward, not on account of the existing
wants of the people, or for the purpose of permanent
investment of capital, but in order that the shares
might be sold at a premium on the Stock Exchange,
and their promoters enabled to realise large profits
without waiting for the legitimate returns of traffic.
Ireland is as :set comparatively neglected as to rail-
ways, and great trunk lines remain to be constructed
which must yield a handsome profit to the proprietors.
It is morally certain that such lines will be formed in
due time, and that we shall eventually see the sister
kingdom covered with an iron network spreading
through every part of the land, and proportioned to
the increase of prosperity and civilization, which we
doubt not a few years will bring forth.
It will be in the recollection of our readers, that
Government during the psat session, while they
wisely refused their sanction to the wild scheme of
he Protectionist leader, by which 1(3,000,000/. ster-
ling was to be advanc. d to Irish railways, in the pro-
portion of two pounds for every one provided by the
shareholders, yet decided on placing an additional
sum at the disposal of the Exchequer Bill Loan
Commissioners for the purpose of being advanced to
three companies, who had afforded evidence of the
soundness of their undertakings, of the sufficiency of
the security they were enabled to offer for the re-
payment of the several loans, and of the national
benefits that would accrue from the speedy complt•
tion thereof. Such fostering aid had the most fit•
vourable effect ; the greatest activity was displayed
by the directors and managers to show themselves
worthy of the favours thus accorded, and the works
have been proceeded with steadily and efficiently.
The Great Southern and Western Railway of Ire-
land received, or are to receive, by far the greater
portion of that advance. It would be difficult to
enumerate the many advantages of this magnificent
project. When perfected, it will be par excellence
the great trunk line of Ireland, connecting the two
chief cities—Dublin and Cork ; it will form the chief
channel of communication between the capital and
the southern provinces. The rich and abundant pro-
ducts of the several counties can, by its means, be
readily conveyed to the metropolis, and they may in
return receive the various articles of merchandise im-
ported from other climes ; in fact, what the London
and North-Western Railway is in this country the
Great Southern and Western will be in Ireland.
The Irish Government have duly appreciated its
importance and the excellence of its management,
and in addition to the valuable assistance rendered by
the advance of half a million sterling, his Excel-
lency the Lord-Lieutenant paid its directors the high
compliment of inspecting the progress of the works,
and accepting their hospitality. On Friday the Earl
of CLARENDON, accompanied by the Chief Secretary
for Ireland and a distinguished party, went over the
portion of the line now opened to the public, the
traffic on which is already very considerable, affording
an ample security for the Government loan. The
impressions created by that journey may be con-
ceived from what subsequently fell from that en•
lightened nobleman, when expressing his delight at
" hosing passed through a beautiful country, teem-
ing with the products of the earth, and upon a line of
railway that reflected credit on the energy and en-
terprise of the company." He stated " that at home
or abroad he had never seen so beautiful a line of
railway—one which exhibited in its construction so
rare a combination of science and art." This feeling
was participated in by all, and the Chief Secretary added
that he only expressed the opinions of every gentle-
man who had accompanied his Excellency, in saying
that the Great Southern and Western Railway, for
safety !IA good management, was not surpassed by
any other line in existence. Compliments such as
these, proceeding from such influential sources, must
indeed be satisfactory not only to the directors, but
to every person in any degree interested in the
undertaking. They also prove how judiciously
the Ministry acted in rendering such effectual as-
sistance—assistance which must materially hasten
the period when the public will reap all the benefits
of the gigantic undertaking, and that without a
particle of loss or risk to the Exchequer, the rate of per
centage secured by the company, five per cent. per
annum, being nearly one-third more than the actual
interest payable on that sum by the nation.

a considerable quantity of employment to the la-
bourers in the several districts
traversed by it. In
one locality alone there are 800 men employed—the
labourers, who usually earn Bd. or led. a day, receiving
ls. 6d., while masons, stone-cutters, and others are
proportionately paid. There is now 356,6001. ster-
ling paid up, and on the arrears (amounting to less
than 20,0001.) being satisfied, the company will be in
a position to borrow, if necessary or desirable, a
quarter of a million sterling.
The Dublin and Drogheda, which runs from the
metropolis northward, and which forms the chief link
in the great northern chain, had, notwithstanding
the general distress and commercial depression exist-
ing in Ireland during the earlier part of this
year, an increase of revenue on the half-year ending
the 30th of June in the present year, over the cor-
responding period of 1846, from passengers, of 7041.
18s. 101, and on goods and passengers, of 1,090/.
This company also have a ffi su cient portion of their
line opened to aff
ord ample security to the Ex-
chequer; indeed they have already repaid the Ex-
chequer-bill Loan Commissioners a sum exceeding
that which they are now about to borrow.

A letter from Leghorn, of the 23d of August, states
that on the 221 an outbreak had taken
the e by
place in that
city in consequence of the occupation
the Austrians. On that day the inhabitantso
t Ferrara
or afr
Lag
Leg-
horn assembled in the great square
loudly demanded the formation of a national guard.
"d
The people, after hearing an address from the G-
overnor, were dispersing quietly when they were
charged by the Carbineers—a conflict ensued, in
which the Carbineers were routed and disarmed.
'Die excitement in consequence became very great,
and placards were posted 912 the walls, urging the

people to demand a change of Ministry, and the en-
rolment of a corps of volunteers to march to the relief

of Ferrara.

A review of the 4th battalion of the National
Guard of Rome took place on the 16th of
August at the Villa Borghese ; cries of " Long live
Pius LX.," " Long live Prince Boaonasa," were
raised by the troops. The highest of the Roman
nobility were present on the occasion, and fraternised
with the citizens.

Letters from Bologna of the 21st say :—" The
Papal Government is resolved to resist the Austrian
invasion, and to oppose force by force. The troops
are concentrating, and some are already in march for
the frontier. Two companies of Swiss and artillery
have already left this for Ferrara. They were loudly
cheered by the people as they left, and saluted with
cries of " Live Pius IX." A corps of Swiss is also
marching from Romagna for Ferrara. The aversion of
the people to the Swiss troops has greatly diminished
siece these soldiers sent an address to the authorities
offering to march against the Austrians. The number
of Austrian troops in Ferrara has diminished, the
greater portion of them having retired into the citadel.
Nevertheless, reinforcements of the Imperial troops
are constantly arriving in Padua and the other cities
on the left bank of the Po. The greatest enthusiasm
prevails throughout the country—the peasants are
coming forward to be inscribed in the civic guards,
and ask to be led against the Austrians. The retro-
grade party, whose stronghold is at Modena, are at
their wits ends. They are endeavouring to organize a
system of brigandage, and dispatch their emissaries with
arms and ammunition to commit crimes throughout
the country. The brigands have set fire to five
farms of the Marquis of COSTABILI, a nobleman who
is noted for his attachment to Pius IX., and to the
cause of progress, and on whose property is estab-
lished the head- quarters of the National Guard of
Ferrara.

Madrid journals of the 24th instant hare arrived.

The arrival of NARVAEZ is the all-absorbing topic
of comment in all of them. He is looked upon by
the generality of Spaniards as the apostle of treason,
anarchy, and bloodshed. In the meantime the
Carlist movement is daily increasing in strength in
Catalonia, and in Arragon and Saragossa a Carlist
rising is hourly expected.
MADRID BOLSA, AUG. 24.—The Three per Cents.

paper; and the Debt without Interest at 5-11.

We have received the Paris papers of Sunday.
The physicians who examined the body of the
Duke of PRASLIN have reported that he died from
poisoning by arsenic, and that as arsenic was found
in the liver, it must have been taken some time before
death ; they are of opinion that there were not two
administrations of poison, and that the apparent con-
valescence of the Duke of PAASLIN on the Saturday
and Sunday was " nothing but an aggravation of the
phenomena of reaction of which the apparition may
have simulated a favourable crisis" (dont l'apparition
avail pu simuler une crise favorable). The report
seems drawn up altogether in accordance with the
Talleyrand theory of language, which lays it down
as an axiom that words were given to man to enable
him to disguise his thoughts.
The Moniteur Parisien states officially that the
Attorney-General has received from M. WARNEIIRY
certain charges of corruption against officers con-
nected with the administration of affairs in Algeria,
and had ordered a judicial investigation into the
truth of those charges to be commenced.

The trial of Messrs. GOBELEY and BEERIER the
younger, charged with having embezzled large quan-
tities of corn from the Government stores, took place
on Saturday, and terminated in the acquittal of the
accused. •

The price of flour in the Paris market continues to
decline.

Count ANATOLE DE MONTESQUIEU, a chevalier
d'honneur of the QUEEN, a Peer of France, and ex-
aide-de-camp to NAPOLEON, committed suicide
at Paris on Sunday. No reasons are given for this
rash act.

The number of failures in Paris during the last
year was 1,139, and the aggregate amount of the
deficit 68,474,803 francs. Eight of these failures
were to the amount of 40,0001. and upwards. As
compared with the previous year, there is an enor-
mous increase both in tue number and amount of
the failures. In the previous year the number of the
failures was 931, and the amount 48,342,529 francs.
The Gazette des Tribunaux positively contradicts
the statements which have been made that M. DE
BEAUVALLON had been ordered for trial before the
Court of Assizes for perjury, and that he had ap-
pealed to the Court of Cassation against the decision
of the Chambre de Mises en Accusation. It states
that the Chambre de Mises en Accusation has not
yet come to any decision on his case.

THE LATE FATAL STEAMBOAT

EXPLOSION.

INSPECTION OF THE WRECK.—(THIS DAY.)
At twelve o'clock this morning, the jury, according
to appointment made yesterday at the inquest, pro-
ceeded to view the shattered vessel and machinery of
the Cricket steam-boat. The scene presented was of
the most fearful nature, and none but those who had
before witnessed sucha spectacle of ruin could for a mo-
ment have imagined the force and power of that mighty
agent—steam. As to the causes which may have led
to the fatal explosion,we, of course, will not pronounce
an opinion. Competent persons will be appointed by
the authorities, who will, as their duty to the public,
to the company, and to Mr. Joyce, the builder and
patentee of the engines, require, carefully examine,
and investigate most fully, all the circumstances con-
nected with this most disastrous affair. The first
sight which presents itself to the spectator is that of
a fearful rent in the vessel from the engine-room to
the stern. The whole of the flooring of the deck has
been blown up, and the lining of the right side of the
after cabin completely removed, leaving exposed the
bare iron shell of the vessel. On the left side of the
same cabin some portion of the lining yet remains ;
but in the bilge of the vessel, and near to the paddles,
the whole of the lining is gone, and the shell of the
vessel broken and torn in almost every direction.
The flooring of the cabin is also swept clean out,
while an immense opening in the stern shows the spot
through which the boiler itself was blown, the
boiler in its progress appearing to have swept the
floors, the lining, rudder, and everything before it.
The whole of the case of the boiler is blown off, leav-
ing all the tubes exposed to sight ; but there does not
appear to
abe any fracture in any of them, so far at

steam-gauges seem to have been entirely blown away.
Neither of the paddle-wheels seem to have sustained
any injury : the outer side of the left paddle-box
seems to have sustained a somewhat severe
shock. A
portion of the massive iron frame work to which the
engine is attached is twisted in a most extraordinary
manner. The thickness of the metal in that part
cannot be less than four inches; but it appears to
have been capable of affording no more resistance to
the terrific power than did some of the common deal
timbers with which it was surrounded. The massive
cranks, with the pistons and cylinders, seem to be the
only portions of the machinery which were suffi-
ciently strong to endure the shock, but the left
crank is slightly bent. There is no doubt
that this more solid part of the machinery
tended, in some degree, to ensure the fore part of the
vessel from that total destruction which has befallen
the remaining portions. The boiler which exploded
was the left boiler as the vessel now lies, but the
course it appeared to have taken was an oblique one,
as the right side of the cabin, through which it passed,
is considerably more injured than the opposite. The
opening made at the stern of the vessel appears to be
also on the right side of the rudder. The whole
floor of the engine-room is literally covered with
fragments of the broken parts and the smaller and
more delicate parts of the machinery. The jury re-
mained on the spot for about half an hour, during
which time every facility was afforded by the servants
of the company to enable them to view the various
portions of the wreck.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUANTE!? TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
4,000 bales, but entirely for the wants of .consumption
Prioes were without alteration, although the accounts
from Manchestt r were considered to be more favourable
Shares improved again, and there appeared to be a gra-
dual restoration of confidence. 1
There are ship arrivals to-day from several parts, blot
no news of general interest appears to be contained in
the advices brought to hand.
The election for Governor of the Bank of England, in
the place of W. R. Robinson, Esq., disqualified, is 'KW/
proceeding, and no doubt James Morris, Esq., of th e
rich firm of Morris, Prevo, and Co., will be played in
this honourable post.
We cannot learn that, up to the hour of one writing.
any decision has been come to by Messrs. Overend,
Gurney, and Co., upon the important subject of the ac-
ceptance of Messrs. Prime Ward and Co.'s bills, but it
is expected that it will be settled yea or nay some tit ee
this afternoon. Probably, as the matter is of some im-
terest, we may be enabled to glee the result for ottr
country edition.
The accounts received to-day from the East Indies ao
not notice so much activity as usual at this season of the
year in British textile fabrics, but money was rather
more easy, and the accounts from Europe had chiefly
operated in producing dulness rather than convulsion
or excitement.
The English Funds have been high again this morning,
Consols having touched 874 4 for present transfer,
and 884 4 for account. At the present time the rates
are scarcely so good. The New Three• and-a-Quarter
per Cents. have been 89i to 4. Bank Stock is worth
195 to 197. Exchequer-bills have been 2s. to 68. prem.
The Foreign Securities have been steady generally.
Spanish Bonds are rather better. The Five per Cents.
have realised 191 to 201-, and the Three per Cents.
30 to 1. Portuguese Four per Cents. have been quoted
25. Mexican Stock is worth 181 to 194. Grenada
Bonds have been at 19. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per
Cents. are at 56.
There is not much doing in railway shares, but the
market looks firm upon the settlement in progress.
This is account-day also in the Foreign Stock Market,
where, however, the speculation recently entered into
has been very limited.

BANKRUPTCY.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE.)
IN RE PRICE.

This was a meeting for the last examination of this
bankrupt, described as of the Belle Sauvage, Ludgate-
hill, hotel•keeper. _ _

An application was made for an adjournment, as no
balance-sheet had been filed, and it was avowed that the
object of the adjournment was to obtain a supersedeas, if
the creditors would consent. A composition had been
offered, and it was said that most of the creditors had
signed the consent.
His HONOUR said that all the creditors might not
agree, and no bankrupt had a right to suspend making
out a balance sheet in order to supersede the fiat, or to
force an adjournment.
An adjournment was granted for three weeks, on the
understanding that if the balance-sheet was not then
filed the examination would be adjourned sine die, so
that the bankrupt should come up at his own expense.

BANK OF ENGLAND.-(THIS DAY.)
ELECTION OF GOVERNOR.

A general court of the proprietors of the Bank of
England was this day held in the board room,_ for the
purpose of proceeding to the election of a Governor
of the Bank, in the room of Mr. Robinson, who was
disqualified from continuing in office under the regu-
lations which govern that coroporation.
Precisely at eleven o'clock the doors of the board-
room Were opened, and the secretary proceeded, with
the usual forms on such occasions, to read the adver-
tisement for calling together the court. The " glasses"
were then ordered to be uncovered for the purpose of
proceeding to the ballot, which will continue open till
four o'clock this afternoon, when the result will be
known.

We shall give the result of the election in our Third
Edition.

WATERFORD, WEXFORD, WICK-
LOW, AND DUBLIN RAILWAY.-(THIS DAY.)

The half-yearly ordinary meeting of the proprie-
tors of this company was held to-day, at their offices,
449, West Strand ; Sir Thomas Esmonde, Bart., in
the chair.

The SECRETARY read the report, which stated that
the directors had pursued that course with respect to
the construction of the line which they proposed at
the last half-yearly ordinary meeting, namely, the
extension of the line to Wicklow from the junction
with the Dublin and Kinptown Railway, as well as
from the junction with the Irish South-Eastern
Railway at Scurawalsh-bridge to Wexford-bay, and
to the intermediate space thence to Wicklow, which
would complete the direct communication between
Dublin and Wexford and between Dublin and
London, via the South Wales and Great Western
Railways. Under the powers conferred upon
the company last session, the directors com-
menced the undertaking between Kingston and
Wicklow, and about a mile of land hid been pre-
sented to the company by the Earl of Meath. From
the financial statement it appeared that the receipts
up to the 30th of June last were 122,543/. 65., while
the expenditure up to the same period amounted to
48,6711. Is. 3d., leaving a balance in hand of
73,8721. 4s. 9d.
The CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of the report,
and assured the meeting that the directors had been
actuated by a d sire to c9nform to the circumstances
of the country through which their railway was to
pass.
After some discussion the resolution was carried
unanimously.
Thanks were then voted to the directors, after
which the meeting separated.

JENNY LIND AND THE BOSJESMANS.-.—These sin-
gular specimens of the decreasing race of Pigmies of
South Africa are on the eve of departure to their wild
and remote desert, previous, however, to which it is in-
tended they shall pay Liverpool a visit. Last week,
amongst the distinguished persons who left their auto-
graphs at the Hall, were Jenny Lind and Madame Grisi,
both of whom were, by a singular coincidence, at the
same time listening to the unmusical yet good-humoured
voices of these " children of the desert.' " The force
of contrast could no farther go." These interesting
savages are still at the Egyptian Hall in the day, and at
the Strand Theatre in the evening.
THE LATE VIOLENT ATTACK BY I LUNATIC.—
We are glad to learn that the two aged paupers, Samuel
Gibson and Thomas Cooper, who were last week so
severely injured by the attack of Robinson, the lunatic,
in Holbeck Workhouse, are going on very favourably,
and their recovery may be expected in a short time.—
Leeds Mercury.
Sir John and Lady Strachan arrived at Blackwall
on Saturday afternoon, by the General Steam Nsviga
tiou Company's steam-ship Sir Edward Banks, from
Ostend.

ENCOURAGEMENT TO THE BLUE DAHLIA SEEKERS.
—A singular phenomenon, says a French paper, has
shown itself in a greenhouse at Lyons. At the time
when all the growers et camellias, roses, dahlias, &c.,
are puzzling themselves to get the blue colour, the only
shade which nature has refused to these kinds of plants,
chance has thrown a shade of azure blue upon the petals
of flowers produced by one single branch of a camellia
rout of the species imbricate rubra. This plant belong.
to NI. Dagene. The interior petals of the flowers are of
a delicate red, the superior are white, and both are
united with blue. The flower thu4 unites three addi-
tional colours,—/Ilechanics' Magazine.

AN les .MOUNTAIN.—De 'met, an English mis-
sionary, in writing to the Freeman's Journal from
Oregon, says:—" Not far from the place of our encamp-
ment we found a new object of surprise and admiration.
An immense mountain of pure ice, 1,500 feet high, in-
closed between two enormous rocks. So great is the
transparency of this beautiful ice, that we can easily dis-
tinguish objects in it to the depth of more than six feet.
One would say by its appearance, that in some sudden
and extraordinary swell of the river, immense icebergs
had been forced between these rucks, and had piled
themselves on one another, so as to form this magnifi
cent glacier. From the base of this gigantic iceberg the
river Trou takes its rise."—Mechanzcs' Magazine.
HOW TO FILL BOX ES AND PIT. ‘Vemyss,
famous theatrical manager in Philadelphia, has quitted
the business, and opened in stead a large store for the
sale of patent medicines. A friend drily remarked that
he would no doubt be successful in filling both boxes
and pit.—JVew York Sun
MARRIAGE NOTICES. A western (American)
paper gives the following notice :—All notices of mar-
riages, where no bride•cake is sent, will be set up ie
small type and poked into some outlandish corner of tile
paper. Where a handsome piece of cake is sent, it will
be put conspicuously in large letters ; when gloves or
other bride favours are added, a piece of illustrative
poetry will be given in addition. When, however, the
editor attends the ceremony in propria persond, and
kisses the bride, it will have special notice—very large
type and the most appropriate poetry that can be begged,
borrowed, stolen, or coined from the brain editorial.

JENNY LlND.—This pre-eminent vocalist is an-
nounced to sing for one night, viz.. on the 14th Septem-

DRAMATIC Rmuouns.—Among other dramatic ru-
mours current in our own metropolis, we hear of a tra-
gedy by Mr. Marston, of which report speaks in the
highest terms ; and a five-act play by Mr. White, the
author of The King of the Commons, about to be produced
at Sadler's Wells.—Athenceum. _ _ _

On da, that the charming actress, Mrs. Nisbett,
will be led for the third time to the hymeneal altar by a

The weather has been "all hot" in America. The
Albany Knickerbocker says, "W e saw a woman do her
ironing with no other fuel than the sunshine. When we
came sway she was hanging her kettle out of the window
to get her tea ready.
ACCIDENT TO LORD IVORY.—As Lord Ivory and a
party of friends were returning on Saturday last in a
car from shooting on the moor of Fasuaeloich, at the
head of Loch Crevan, the vehicle struck against a stone
and was upset. All the party were more or less injured,
and his Lordship, we regret to say, had his left arm
broken. Medical assistance was obtained, and his h n
limb having been set, the Learned Lord is in a fair way
of recovery.—Edinburgh Post.

CAUSII OY FAILURE IN BUSINESS.—A late writer
enumerates the following causes of failure among
business men :-1. The leading cause is an ambition to
be rich— by grtsping too much it defeat. itsElt. 2
Another cause is aversion to lab*ur. 3. The third cause
is an impatient desire to enjoy the luxuri..s of life before
