PRINTERS' PENSION SOCIETY. —The Committee of
Management of this Society, which was founded in the year
1837, for the purpose of affording relief to aged and infirm
printers and their widows, by the granting of pensions,
having obtained the patronage of the Duke of Cambridge,
the Duke of Northumberland, and the principal influential
local families, have announced their intention, with a view
to augment the funds of the Society, of giving a grand rural
fete, which will take place on Monday next, the 13th, in the
grounds of the White Hart Inn, at Bromley; on which
occasion a grand flower show will be held, in addition to a
variety of amusements and entertainments, consisting of
equestrian performances, under the direction of Mr. Batty,
rustic amusements, a concert, and display of fireworks.
Since the formation of the Society in 1837, upwards of 130
persons have received permanent relief in pensions, upwards
of 50 of whom are at the present time recipients of the true
benefits conferred upon the aged and infirm printer by this
Society,

ELECTION MOVEMENTS.
PLYMOUTH.
Motipmr —The friends of Vincent are in high spirits this
morning. Mr. Vincent has had interviews with some " lead •
ing parties," who have engaged to aid his return. He has
seen, it is stated, several of the leading Dissenters and Wes-
leyans, who had pledged themselves not to support Lord
Ebrington on the ground of his Lordship's approval of the
Maynooth Bill ; and they have promised him that they will
not v'te for or interest themselves on behalf of Lord Ebring-
ton—that they will be neutral ' • he has also had an interview
with a deputation from the Chartists, but with what success
we have not been able te learn. At half-past twelre o'clock
he addressed a large meeting, consisting principally of work-
ing men, at Caldown. The exposition of his views was
listened to with apparent satisfaction, and at the close of
his address three cheers were given for Vincent with hearty
goodwill.
Lord Ebrington's friends, confident of their strength, are
not making any effort whatever.
The election is appointed for Friday next.

DEVONPORT.
JULY G.—This morning the mayor, W. P. Blackmore, Esq.,
publicly read the writ and the precept of the Lord Lieu-
tenant of the county for the election of a Member of Par-
liament. The election is appointed for Friday next, when
Sir G. Grey will be re-elected without opposition.

Vice-Admiral Sir William Parker and Lord John
Hay have been appointed to the Board of Admiralty. Lord
Marcus Hill is to be Comptroller of the llousehold ; and the
O'Conor Don one of the Lords of the Treasury.
Lord Fortescue will, it is said, newt the Lord
Stewardship of her Majesty's llousehold.
THE WOOL SEASON.—The setting-in of the wool
season is again effecting a change in the nature of the car-
goes of the Hamburgh steamers. The Queen of Scotland
last week had only room for two cows on deck, and the Helen
Macgregor, which arrived on Saturday last, was piled up
with as much wool as her tarpaulings would secure from the
sea, having no less than 800 bales on board. The Victoria
arrived on Tuesday morning with a full deck cargo of wool.
—Hull Advertiser.
THE JAMAICA RAILWAY.—The traffic return of the
second quarter of this railway shows a decrease of .9,256 pas-
sengers, as compared with the first quarter, but an increase
in the goods traffic almost quadrupling the previous return.
The decrease is attributed to the effects of novelty at the first
opening, and the increased communication with Spanish
Town during the first quarter, owing to the sitting of the
Assembly.
SUDDEN DEATH BY DRINICING WHEN HEATED.—
We last week reported a death caused by drinking too much
water, and we are sorry to record a similar occurrence. On
Saturday week an Irish labourer, residing in Love-street,
while engaged in hoeing potatoes near Roslin, on the
Greenock-road, had been so thirsty, owing to the heat, that
he went into a public-house and got a bottle of porter, but
not feeling his thirst quenched, he next drank half a Scotch
pint of buttermilk, which caused almost instant death.—

N'ovEr.IMPORTATION.--A vessel, called the Freden,
which has arrived in the London Dock from Russia (Odessa)
in addition to a cargo of Russian tallow, had 1,250 bomb-
shells on board. So singular an importation is remarkable
and worthy of notice.
TREMENDOUS THUNDER• STORM AND LOSS OF LIFE.—
WELLINGTON, MONDAY MORNlNG.—Yesterday morning
a tremendous storm of thunder and lightning visited this
neighbourhood, and did much damage. The whole of Sa-
turday the weather was excessively sultry, but yesterday
morning a light breeze sprung up, and the sky being clear
and bright up to past eight o'clock, no thought of thunder
was entertained. Towards nine o'clock the heavens became
suddenly overcast, and numberless clouds were seen travers-
ing the sky with unusual rapidity, and in opposite directions.
Soon after nine o'clock the storm burst forth with terrific
fury. The forked lightning was distinctly visible even in
the glare of daylight, and at one time a stream of fire appa-
rently of the width of a man's body was seen darting to the
earth. The electric fluid at about a quarter-past nine o'clock
struck a building occupied by the Independent body of
Dissenters as a Sunday school. The children were assembled
and had engaged in prayer and singing, when one of the
windows was suddenly dashed in, the wood work of the
frame being shivered in pieces, and seven or eight of the
children were thrown upon the ground. One poor fellow, a
lad of about 16 years old, named Edward Harcourt, was killed
upon the spot. The electric fluid penetrated his breast just
over the region of the heart, and passed out by his foot. He
was the son of poor parents, but a remarkably intelligent and
pious youth. Two others of the boys lie in a precarious state,
and one of them it is feared cannot recover. From accounts
brought into the town, I fear that we shall hear of accidents
in other places. At Taunton, Minety, Tiverton, and other
towns, the storm raged with fearful violence; and at the
Tiverton-road station of the Great Western Railway an
electric meteor darted across the line, near the telegraph,
within a minute or two of the passage of the first down
train.

THE NEW MILITARY PRISON, ST. GEORGE'S BAR-
RACKS, TRAFALGAE-SQUARE.—This prison is now com-
pleted, and will be transferred to the authorities this day.
All the prisoners will be confined in separate cells, under the
control of a proTost-sergeant. Each cell is provided with a
hammock and bedding, a stool and table, as well as a
bell, that the prisoner may ring in case of illness or any
sudden emergency. During the day the hammock will be
removed.

ACCIDENT AND Loss OF LIFE AT DEAL.-011 Tues-
day afternoon a distressing accident occurred to one of our
hovelling boats in the Downs. The boat Esperance, with a
crew of four men, left here to visit the shipping on their pas-
sage from London to the Downs, seeking employment, and
after leaving two men on board different vessels to land their
pilots on arrival in the Downs, the others were returning in
their boat to Deal, and when near Sandowu Castle, about
half a mile oil' shore, the boat was upset by a sudden squall
of wind, and immediately sunk. The accident was observed
from the shore, and boats launched, manned by hardy crews,
by whose vigorous and prompt exertions one of the unfor-
tunate men was rescued in a very exhausted state. Messrs.
Dixon and Masson were speedily on the spot to render surgi-
cal and medical aid, under whose care the poor fellow is in
a fair way of recovery. The other, a fine young man, had
sunk ere the boats reached the fatal spot, and every exertion
that has been made to find the body, up to the present time,
has proved abortive. his name is Wm. Roberts, and he has
left a widowed mother, who was entirely dependent on him
for support.—Doser Telegraph.
ST. ANN'S SOCIETY SCHOOLS.—A quarterly meeting
of the Committee and Governors of this institution, took
place on Monday at the offices. Charlotte-row. Mansion-
house. The chair was taken by D. Laing, M.A., F.R.S.,
until the arrival of the llon. William Ashley. This Society
is under the patronage of her Majesty, Prince Albert, and
the Queen Dowager. Dr. Burnet moved resolutions, ex-
pressive of approval of the praiseworthy exertions of the
matron and master of the Brixton Asylum for some rears
past, and to which much of the efficiency of the school was
to be attributed, and that an increase in their respective
salaries be made to the amount of 43/. per annum, which was
seconded by Mr. Knill. Mr. Lott and others having ex-
pressed their approval, the resolutions were carried. The
thanks of the meeting were voted to the Hon. W. Ashley,
for the interest manifested by him in the welfare of the
Society, and• his conduct in the chair, and the proceedings
terminated.

THE STRATFORD JUBILEE CUP.—Saturday, at the
sale of the effects of the late Mr. J. Johnson, of Upper Char-
lotte-street, Fitzroy-square, was sold the cup presented by
the mayor and corporation of Stratford-upon-Avon, in Sep-
tember, 1760, to David Garrick, and used at the jubilee in-
stituted by him in that month, at the birthplace of Eng-
land's dramatic bard. Shakspere, about the year 1609,
planted at his native place a mulberry tree ; it had long
attained a fulness of growth, produced the most luxuriant
fruit, and was the admiration and veneration of every
one, till, in 1756, the Reverend Francis Gastrell, the
occupant of the house, from the frequent importunities
of travellers, conceived a dislike to the tree, and in
an evil hour, in contempt of the popular adoration, or-
dered the tree to be felled, and its logs split for fire-wood ;
a general odium was excited, and a watchmaker named
Thomas Sharp, of that town, secured the pieces, and con-
verted the fragments to uses widely different from that to
which the tree had been so irreligiously condemned. The
cup under notice was about 11 inches in height, lined with
silvergilded ; a rim of silvergilded round the foot ; and the
cover was crested with a cluster of mulberries and leaves,
also silvergilded. At the jubilee Garrick ligld it, raised, on
his hand, while singing the following lines, composed by him
for that occasion, beginning—
" Behold this fair goblet, 'twas carved from the tree
Which, my sweet Shakspere, was planted by thee,
As a relic, I kiss it, and bow at the shrine;
What comes from thy hand must be ever divine
" All shall yield to the mulberry tree,
"Bend to thee, blest mulberry,
" Matchless was he who planted thee,
" And thou like him immortal be."
On the death of Mrs. Garrick, this cup was, by a decree in
Chancery, sold, May 5, 1825, at Christie's Auction-rooms, in
King-street, St. James's, for 121 guineas, and then purchased
by Mr. Johnson, by whom it was estimated so highly that
the price asked was 200 guineas. Since his death it was
submitted with other effects to auction, and put up at a re-
served price of 100 guineas ; but no second bidder appearing
the cup was withdrawn. On Monday it was again submitted
for sale, without reserve, and produced 40/. Bs. 6d., the pur-
chaser Mr. Isaacs, of Upper Gower-street.
REMARKABLE INVENTION.—During a recent visit in
Boston we were shown specimens of the production of a
wonderful piece of mechanism, which were, indeed, truly
astonishing. They were miniature busts of Daniel Webster,
Abbot Lawrence, and Levi Woodbury; being perfect f
fac-
similes of their distinguished originals, and wrought out of
beautiful American marble, and by a machine which has
been invented by Mr. Thomas Blanchard, of Boston. This
invention certainly establishes a new era in the art of sculp-
ture, and promises to dispense, almost entirely, with the
deep thought, and classic study, and indefatigable labour of
the artist in his efforts to put life and poetry into the
marble; for nature, art, everything tangible, can be copied
by this machine, with a precision which defies the chisel,
even when guided by the most skilful hand and directed by
the most gifted talent. The machine, too, can be graduated
so as to give reduced copies of any statuary, which shall, in
their miniature, be perfect and exact copies of the originals
in everything else but the size; preserving every line, fur-
row, and dimple, and giving prominence to muscles and
veins, and every particular lineament and feature, in exact
proportion. By the same machinery the most correct and
perfect bas-relief profile likenesses may be cut on the hardest
material, and of any size required, from half an inch to
full life-like size. We saw a strikingly exact cameo profile
of Henry Clay, as perfect a head of that statesman as we
have ever seen in any of the busts or casts to be found, and of
the fashionable size for a lady's breast-pin. Among the
specimens shown us, too, were the heads of several of our
acquaintances, cut in cameo and ivory, the proper size for
setting in pins, the first glimpse of which called before our
minds the originals as readily as the most perfect daguerreo-
type or pencilled miniature would have done. We are as-
sured that the best of Greenough's and Persico's productions,
which have cost them years of study and effort, can be
copied by this apparatus with most positive accuracy; and
the block of shapeless marble put into its power will, in a
few hours, stand forth a perfect copy of the, most beautiful
and animated statuary the greatest sculptors ever produced.
And, what is most wonderful, this machinery may be readily
graduated to increase or diminish the copy, so as to furnish
a colossal or a miniature figure, with equal precision, and in
all respects exact proportions.--American paper.
The sum paid by the Society of Friends this year,
