On Sunday morning, about three o'clock, ti
newly-erected cow shed, containing eight touch CO.°4
belonging to Mr. Davis, cowkeeper, in the new road Pe°
Turnham-green, fell down with a tremendous crash, 015
pletely covering the poor animals, which were only olgoi
from being crushed to death by the roof falling en par %t
the wall. The noise occasioned by the fall was so gre;
as to be beard at the police station-house at Brook-grfet:
near a mile and a half distance, when a party 0' e
police, supposing a house had fallen, immediately re,

HORRIBLE ENFECTS OF DISSIPATION.
A circumstance occurred at Cupar Fife last week, "1.6
calculated to prove, if anything will, an emphatic warni"P
to drunkards. A woman of the name of Balfour, a fel
bad character, and the mother of a family, some of svh°r'
it is to be feared, have followed too well her evil exarilre'
bring one night last week in a state of gross intoxicati°"°
either fell into, or, according to some accounts, sat do°,
upon the fire, and neither herself nor her daughter
in a state fit to render assistance, she was scorched in iie4,
a dreadful manner, that she died in a few days.-J'l
Herald.

The power possessed by the Directors of th!
Bank of England in regulating the circulation has alt/e):,
been regarded with great jealousy by the merchants
large ; and although that power seems to have been es Ie ,
eised with more discretion of late years, and partic&ar,
since the passing of the new charter, we do not find the,
the jealousy which it creates has, on the whole, underfle.e,i
much diminution, and the late speculations in coloold
produce, joined with the part which the Bank has acts'
with regard to them, though in it.elf proper enough,
caused it to be manifested in a very remarkable deg be
It is observed, but without meaning thereby to iropugo hB
honour of the pa rtics, —I sit, That the Directors of to
Bank are many of them partners in some of the most tic!: it,
And extensive mercantile houses in London ; 2d, That
t to
no unfair supposition that some of these establisWelii
partook of the late very general excitement, and that tbi
may have been large purchasers of tallow, cotton, "le:
and indigo, all at that time very favourite articles or op
ciliation ; 3d, That the houses alluded to might natolloi
through their partners in the Direction, beprompsly Ulf°. ir
of the resolut on taken on a late occasion in the Bank col
lour, to reduce the circulation of notes, and to 'Tor
the discount of bills connected with such tree iO4
tions, both of them effectual means of dariltiea
the spirit of speculation ; 4th, That the -Pbseir
thus forewarned would naturally employ t orafa
selves without delay in converting their gor
into money before the Bank measures were general'rfoff
officially piomu gated ; and, sth, That the favoureutioth
would thus reap the ft uits of their prior inforole es•
while the herd of speculators in their rear would he ire
posed to ruin, or to heavy losses at all events. Theeetirott
the current arguments we meet with latterly in the el

this subject, but there is some difference of opinioo ;eat'

A few probably are disposed to recommend a free ir‘iseet
banking, even to the issue of paper, as the onlYre4 that

the temptation to which Bulk directors are expoaeud to e
much for human nature to resist, are yet reconcilebe talY
continuance of the present system, as the lesser of tirceeill
evils: all, however, will concur in stating such eing

stances as those just mentioned as reasons for hoe' of tb
the checks that may yet be possible on the conductir prr'"
directors, and for giving full publicity to all the
