M. DEMPSTiIt, THE VOC A LlST.—This gentleman
has just arrived in London from the United States, and
intends shortly to give a series of original Scotch ballad
concerts at the Princess's Concert Room. Mr. Dempster
has had the honour of the patronage of the President of
the United States and his Cabinet, and he will receive at
his forthcoming concerts the patronage of the American
Minister to the Court of St. James.
An attempt to blow up the house of Mr. Brit-
wistle, a-builder, at Bury, was made on Sunday last. It
appears that some evil-disposed person pulled up a flag-
stone in front of the house, and lowered into the front
cellar a considerable quantity of gunpowder. Mr. Brit-
wistle heard a noise, and thinking that some one was
trying to get into his house, he looked out of window,
when he saw four men in a stooping position; he called
to know what they were doing, but they made no answer
and skulked away. Before he had time to dress himself,
a loud explosion took place, carrying away the front and
back windows, driving out several of the floors, destroy-
ing fuaniture, glasses, and pictures, and very nearly
musing the destruction of fifteen persons, at that time on
the premises. The house is cracked and shaken from
top to bottom. ft appears that some months ago, Mr.
Britwistle had a bulk of timber, which his sawyers re-
fused to cut up. He sent it to Liverpool to be sawn by
steam power, and for this simple offence (if offence it
may be called), his sawyers turned out, causing all his
workmen to burn out with them, and the place has been
" picketted " ever since, Mr. Britwistle not being able to
get a single hand to do his work. A reward of 100/. has
been offered for the discovery of the person who caused
the explosion.
THE MAILS. SOUTHAMPTON, DEC. 3. The
Oriental Company's steam-ship Erin, Captain Brooks,

stantinople, Trebisond, &c. She will take out the East

ROYAL ENIt EERS .—WOOLW IC ix, DEC. 3.—We
regret to have to announce the death of Captain John
Hodges Pipon.
ROYAL ARTILLERY.—Forty-two fine young men
arrived at Woolwich yesterday, from Lisburn, in Ireland,
as recruits for the Royal Artillery. Thirty-two snore
were at Lisburn at the time they left. Lieutenant Jas.
Clarke, who presides at that station, has sent to head-
quarters upwards of 500 recruits during ,the present
year. Amongst the recruits that have arrived are many
who have been in rery respectable circumstances; in
fact, the general standard of recruits, in a moral point of
view, is far higher than it has been for years past.
REDUCTION or TEA DUTIES.—On Wednesday
the inhabitants of Leeds, in public meeting assembled,
E. Baines, Esq., in the chair, resolved unanimously to
memorialke the Queen for the immediate reduction of
the tea duties, aed a deputation was appointed topresent
the memorial. A resolution was also passed to solicit
the Members for the county and the borough for their
zealous co-operation.
MODEL LODGING-HOUSES pox FEMALES.—One of
these, in Newton-street, Holborn, has been opened for
the reception of females. The inmates are principally.
servants out of place, persons who obtain a livelihood by
needlework, artificial flower-making, clear starchers,
and workers in fancy paper, &c. The accommodation
is far superior to what might be expected, and the
greatest order prevails throughout the establishment.
Each lodger is provided with a separate bed. On the
basement there is a kitchen, with every requisite for
cooking, a good fire, and two boilers, with water boiling
every morning by seven o'clock. Round the kitchen are
small cupboards, with different locks ; one of these is
Rprsated to the use of each lodger. On the ground
ooms a work room, for persons at needlework; there
is also a washing room, with every convenience. The
charge is e"
