Sir Andrew Agnew, Bart., accompanied by
Lady Agnew, T. H. Graham, Esq., and Mrs. Graham,
arrived at Alston on Wednesday right. The Hon. Baro-
ne would deliver a lecture on Thursday evening, on " the
better observance of the Sabbath."—Correspondent of
Carlisle Journal.

LORD VALENTIA.—His Lordship was heir-
apparent to the Earldom of Mountnorris, but leaving no
issue, and as the brothels of the present Earl, his father,
are dead, Mr. Arthur Annesley, son of the Hon. Francis
Annesley, sixth son of the first Viscount Annesley, of
Bletchiagton Fark, Oxon, becomes heir-presumptive to
the tide. That gentleman was married in 1765 to Miss
Catherine Hardy, only daughter and heiress of the late
gallant Admiral Sir Thomas Hardy, by whom be has a
arge family.
LETTERS OF CATHOLICUS IN THE TIMES.

—A correspondent of a Scotch paper informs us that the
letters of " Catholicus " denouncing Sir 11,bert Peel for the
6' Useful Knowledge " tone of his Tamworth Address " are
ascribed to a sincere advocate of Puseyism, Mr. Roundell
Palmer, an Oxford layman and equity draftsman, of Lincoln's
Inn." Is it not the brother of this gentleman who, after
taking deacon's orders in the Anglican Establishment, recently
set sail for St. Pete,sburgh to receive priest's orders in the
Greek Church, under the benevolent, though somewhat whim-
sical impression, that he was thereby laying the foundation for
communion between these two bodies? We assure our readers
we are not joking.— Tablet.
The ship Susan, Captain Neatby, from Lon-
don and Plymouth, for Sydney, was all well on the 11th
January, in lat. 26 South, long. 31 11 West, after a
splendid run of only 30 days, having left Plymouth on
the 12th of December.

SIR RONALD FERGUSON.—It is with ex-
treme regret that we announce that, from the latest ac-
counts received here of this much•esteemed gentleman
there are now no hopes of his recovery. Sir Ronald's

long attachment to the cause of Reform, and his advo
cacy of liberal principles in times of danger and dismay,
invest his name, not only in this country, where he is
best known, but among all who prize integrity and en-
lightenment, with peculiar pain and interest.--Fife Herald.
Loss or FOUR LIVES.—On Friday night a
vessel belonging to owner Thomas Pumfrey, on her re-
turn from Bristol to Upton-upon-Severn, laden with
stone, was lost, and tl.c (new, three men and a boy, all
perished. Thu latter was the son of the owner.—.
Cambrian.
SHIPWRECK.—On Tuesday, the 16th current,
at 11 p.m., the sloop Mary of Perth, Wilson, master,from
Newcastle to Peal) with coal, struck upon one of the in-
ner edges of the Care Rock, Fifeness ; and from the state
of the weather, it is feared will become a total wreck ; crew
saved. —Edinburgh Courant.
The Lord Lieutenant of Ireland has subscribed
2001. to the furtherance of the project for improving the
agriculture of Ireland. It was inclosed to the Duke of
Leinster, as Chairman of the Committee appointed at the
late meeting held in Dublin.
KEW BOTANIC GARDENS.— Mr. Alton,
F. L. S., has recently resigned his situation as curator, and
Sir W. J. Hooker, Pr.fessor cf Botany in the University
of Glasgow, has teen appointed in his place. By this
appointment the chair of Botany in the University of
Glasgow becomes vacar.t.
LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY MORNING.--The New
York packet-stip Oxford, Captain Rathbone, is off the
port; she may convey papers a day later than those
brought by the Columbia. The Rochester, Captain Wood-
house, arrived here yesterday from New York; her news is
anticipated by the arrival of the Colombia on Tuesday last.
THE NEW BAYONET.—Sir Hussey Vivian
has noticed the new percussion musket in the Heuse of
Commons, but we have since heard of a formidable append-
age to this weapon. The new bayonet is two and a half
feet in length, and one and a half inch broad, and of a
proportionate thickness. One edge is formed to cut as a
sword, and the back is serrated. This saw portion is it-
tended to cut palisades, and the great length given to the
bayonet is intended as a proteelian against the attacks of
cavalry. The whole weight of the gun and appendages
appears to be about fourteen pounds.
