has caused all this painful anxiety and excitement. It
is sickening to read the reports of interviews between
him and public functionaries, the silly remarks said to
be made, and the various details of his life and habits,
thereby giving importance to a miscreant that had done
his best to throw this country into a more frightful state
of confusion and danger than any perhaps to which it
had ever been exposed. The Marquis of Normanby
acts a wise part in disappointing as much as possible the
morbid curiosity of the public, and the personal vanity
of a monster that ought to be held up to universal
execration.
Mr. Wallace moved that the orders for two returns
respecting the business of the Court of Session should
be discharged—the reason tor this was, an assurance
from the Lord Advocate that one of these returns
would be extremely diflieult, if not impossible, to obtain
correctly—and that the other was objected to by the
profession in Edinburgh, and could not be made in the
middle of the Session. On these grounds he moved
that the Orders for the Returns should be discharged,
and accordingly they were so.
IMPERIAL ROTATORY ENGINE PIIMP.--.We have
just seea in the gallery at the Lowther Arcade, a
pretty little hydraulic machine, tented by Mr. J. S.
Worth, of Manchester, (we b eve the same gentleman
lei
who is the patentee of the • genious machine for making
a perfect screw from 4 II of iron wire). A circular
box of seven inches j diameter, by about two inches
thick, a winch handle, a suction tube, and a delivery
pipe, constitute the whole exterior of the machine.
Tne principle involved is to obtain a perfect vacuum in
the box, by mean; of two revolving valves, the action of
which is best described by a reference to a drawing of
the interior. The effect is, to deliver a perfectly continnous
stream of water, at the rate of about 25 gallons
a minute. It acts both as a lift and force
pump ; its powers of lifting being, of course, limited to
the height to which water will rise in vacua (say 28 to
30 feet), and its forcing powers restricted only by the
extent of the power employed and the strength of
the materials. This specimen is fitted up as a
pump for domestic purposes. It may be screwed to the
wall, or other convenient place in any part of the
house, and will draw water from a well or cistern in
any part of the premises, and force it to the uppermost
; story of the highest houses with perfect ease. It is ap-
• plicahle to all the purposes for which hydraulic ma-
chines are used—the larger sizes for pumping of mines.
, It appears admirably adapted for a domestic portable
. fire engine, capable of being instantaneously applied in
that part of a building where a fire originates, and thus
arresting the further progress of the flames. It is ca-
pable of being used as a pneumatic engine ; also for
drawing off the foul air frosa the deepest recesses of
' coal mines ; and in this point of view alone, the saving
of life which it is calculated to accomplish, renders it a
L desideratum in mining districts.

REGISTRATION OF COUNTY VOTERS.-
It may not be useless at this time to remind Overseers of the
Poor that, on the 20th instant, they are directed by Act of
Parliament, (2 William IV., c. 45. s. 37), to cause to be fixed
on, or near, the doors of all the churches and chapels within
their respective townships, or, if there be no church or chapel
therein, then to be fixed to some other conspicuous situation,
a notice requiring all persons who may be eneled to vote in
the election of Knights of the Shire, to serve in Parliament,
to send in their claims as such voters to the Overseers, on or
before the 20th day of July next.

In the Times of this morning, the sister of the
assassin it made to say that, " when she threw herself in his
arms on leaving the Home office, after he was examined before
the Privy Council, he was rudely torn from her by the rolice
constable." We are authorised by an eye witness who was
present the whole time, to contradict directly this statement.
The police did not interfere, and the prisoner parted from his
sister of his own accord.

MEETINGS TO ADDRESS THE QUEEN.-
Already the people of Dublin are in motion, and requisitions
are in preparation for parish meetings to give expression to
the devoted loyalty of her Al?jest)'s Irish subjects, and their
horror at the attempt upon her lit:.—Dublin Evening Post.

FA L MoUT 11, JUNE 13.—Her Majesty's packet
Opossum, Lieutenant Peter, arrived yesterday from Vera
Cruz, brought 840,000 dollars, making 1,220,000 in toto, in-
cluding the Linnet's freight, in two days' arrivals. This
amount is chiefly on account of the Real del Monte Mming
been Company.
engaF4 A miner, passenger in the Op9ssuna, who has
edonthemine, states that nothing can exceed the
flattering appearance of the lower levels, the lodes consisting,
by his description, of veins of pure silver, the only mixture, if
any, be ng gold. The Opossum and the Linnet will go at
once to Plymouth ; the former will be paid off, the latter to
have her copper repaired.
LEEDS GREAT TEMPE:RANCF. DEMONSTRA-
TIwi AND FEsrivA L.—On Tuesday, one of the most formid-
able demonstrations in the cause of temperance paraded the
streets of Leeds. Even in the early part of the day the greatest
excitement began to manifest itself in every part of the town.
Before two o'clock in the afternoon, the time announced for a
grand procession to proceed from King-street, the greater part
of the windows of the dwelling-houses on the route command-
ing a view, were beautified with the smiiing faces of anxious
spectators. The scene presented in King-street, Park-place,
Queen-street, and Wellington-road, the places appointed for
arranging Cie order of the procession, was truly one of the
most magnificent and inspiring ever beheld here, and, we may
say, is exceeded by none in attraction but those which a closely
contested election for our Borough Members has at times given
us on the day of nomination.—Leeds Times.
MERTHYR TYPVIL.—Those workmen at Mer-
thyr Tydvil who stood out against the recent reduction of
wages, have all returned to their work. During the few days
of disagreement the men conducted themselves peaceably and
creditably. We most sincerely hope that an improvement in
the marlet will soon enable the ironmasters to give the former
prices.— Washmwt.

THE WEATHER AND CROPS.—Since cur
last impression the weather has been mild and salubrious, and,
both crops and pasture never presented a more promising and
vigorous appearance. It is generally allowed that vegetation
is fully three weeks earlier than at this time last year, and in
proof of which we may state there is a fine field of wheat be-
longing to Mr. Lockie, seedsman, in the immediate vicinity of
the town, nos in ear, and just bursting the shot blade. Should
the weather continue favourable there is every prospect of an
early and abundant harvest. —Kelso Chronicle.
The coin crops in the neighbourhood of Brad-
ford are looking remarkably well, and the wheat is just ready
for shet-ttirtg. The grass crops are also heavy, and a little tine
weather would induce the farmers to commence mowing.—
Halifax Express.
A partial commencement has been made in the
hay harvest in the immediate neighbourhood of this city, and
should the weather prove favourable the scythe will next week
be in pretty general operation around us. The crop is excel-
lent almost everywhere, and in some places much beyond the
average.— Worcester Herald.
NATURAL CURIOSITY.—There is at this time
a singular instance of the fearlessness of birds during incuba-
tion, to be seen in the Church at Pembridge. A redbreast has
taken possession of a small tray within the clerk's desk (where
he kept his papers, alrnanack, &c.) and built her nest; previ-
ously to its commencement she turned all the papers out ; she
sits undisturbed by the Sunday's duty, and has hatched five
eggs ; the young ones are now nearly fit to leave the nest. She
is not at all disturbed by being looked at after the service is
concluded.—Hereford Times.
Lord Alford is laid up at Lord Brownlow's in
Belgrare .square from the effects of an accident, which prevents
him from attending to his parliamentary ditties. His Lordship
fell from his horse on the pavement in Belgrave-street, by which
he cut his lip, and knocked out two of his teeth. He is going
on well.
The Duke of Bedford has been suffering from
