PAYMENT OF THE DIVIDENDS.—The payment
of the Dividends at the Bank, due on the sth instant, and which
are not generally paid till the 10th, commenced this year on the
9th, a day sooner than usual.
STREHELEN (SILESIA), JUNE 25.—Last night
a fire broke out at the village of Woiszelwitz, near thit town,
and destroyed the house which was inhabited by Frederick
the Great in the autumn of 1761, the period of the Seven
Years' War, and in which he was betrayed by Baron War-
kotsch, for the purpose of being delivered up to the Austrians.
This remarkable and hitherto carefully preserved house now
no longer exists.
LITERATURE.—ThC lovers of entertaining reading
may select from the numerous publications of the season the
following, as affording amusement for the summer months :
" Two Old Men's Tales ;" Mrs. Jameson's " Visits at Home
and Abroad ;" Mr. Bulwer's " Pilgrims of the Rhine r " The
Hamiltons," by the Author of " Mothers and Daughters ;"
" A Year at Hartlebury ;" " Speculation," by Miss Pardoe ;
" Peter Simple ;" " Cecil Hyde," a Novel ; and " The Lan-
guage of Flowers, or the Art of corresponding and conversing
by Floral Emblems."

ROBBERY.—Yesterday morning, about six o'clock,
a young man named John M'Donnell was walking along the
banks of the canal, when he saw a fellow carrying a bundle
of clothes, and, suspecting a robbery, he asked the lad who
owned the bundle, and he replied his mother. M'Donnell,
however, made him go back and show him the house where he
got it. The fellow pointed to a house in Charlemont-street.
The family there were rapped out of bed, and upon examin-
ing the bundle, it appeared that the clothes had been stolen
during the night from different inmates of the house. The
robber, whose nacre is John Byrne, has been committed for
trial.—Morning Register.
A donkey carrying a load of books, said Amrou, the
conqueror of Egypt, is as respectable an animal as the person
whose head is crammed with learning which he does not under-
stand.

TILE ROD IN CIIINA.—The grand panacea, how-
ever, after all, is the rod. The general application of this
vigorous insttumcnt of administration, is by no means con-
fined to China, but embraces without exception every
country of the East, from Japan to Bengal, including about
500,000,000 of people, or more than half the human race.
There the rod, under its various appellations of bamboo, cane,
cudgel, 'or birch, is actively at work from morning till night,
and afterwards from night till morning. The Grand Patriarch
canes his first Minister ; the Prime Minister canes the Secre-
tary of State ; the Secretaries of State admonish Lords of

the Treasury, by belabouring their backs ; these enforce their
orders to the First Lord'of the Admiralty, by applying what
is equal to a cat-o'-nine-tails. Generals cane field-officers,
and field-officers the captains and subalterns. Of course the
common soldiers of the Celestial army are caned ad libitum
by every body. Then husbands cane their wives, and wives
cane their children. In short, the Chinese and their neigh-
bours may be truly described as a well-flogged nation.

IMPORTANT HINT TO FARMERS._A gentleman
residing between this town and Bolton, who has been making
some agricultural experiments, requests us to mention, for the
benefit of other agriculturists, the result of his experience
during the present season in the use of manure. In Septem-
ber last he spread a quantity of stable manure on part of a
meadow, and in February he manured the remainder of the
field in a similar manner. The crop of grass on that part
which was manured in September has turned out remarkably
heavy, while from that manured in February a very light crop
indeed has been gathered. Ile accounts for this difference in
the produce of the same field, by the fact that the manure
spread in February prevented the rain from reaching the roots
of the grass. The moisture was retained by the manure, and
was evaporated on the first sunny or windy day ; whereas,
during the winter months, the moisture does not evaporate
so speedily, but has time to soak into the ground.—Preston
Pilot.

GUERNSEY.—On Saturday, as the Lord Beres-
ford licas proceeding to Jersey with a very numerous assemblage
of passengers, when about midway between this port and Jer-
sey, a man belonging to the latter place, who had come on
board in a state of- intoxication, fell over the bow while at-
tempting to walk along the gunwale. His head struck the
chain in falling, and he was immediately dragged underby the
paddle, but came up astern and began to swim. The vessel
was immediately backed, a boat lowered and manned with the
greatest promptitude, and, after a few minutes of most dis-
tressing anxiety, the man was brought on board ; but from the
united effects of the intoxication, the blows, and the Immersion,
ho was in a comatose state.. Captain Young, most ably as-
sisted by his mate, Mr. George Clark, and another passenger,
immediately employed every means that skill could dictate and
humanity exert, for the recovery of the unfortunate individual.
He was stripped of his wet clothes and laid on blankets close
to the chimney, with a plate of hot iron applied to his feet,
and vigorous friction t, his chest and spine, and the mouth-
piece of a bugle served to inflate his lungs. After about half
an hour's perseverance in these means, consciousness returned,
and the man was then laid comfortably in the cook-house, and
he is now fast recovering. We cheerfully comply with the
request of many of the passengers, in recording their testi-
mony to the presence of mind and humanity manifested by
Captain Young on this alarming occasion, which are deserv-
ing of the highest praise • as are also the skilful and prompt
assistance rendered by the individuals alluded to above.—.
Guernsey Star.

Since our last assizes, now four months, in a city
containing 25,000 inhabitants—one-third of whom may be
said to be dependent upon gratuitous relief, and consequently
in a state of the most abject wretchedness and destitution—it
might be naturally believed that the gaol calendar would, in
consequence, be very heavy. Yet what is the fact—we will
say the astonishing fact, a.'fact which must silence tho calum-
niators of the people of this district--that, if there was an-
other, there would be now ONE prisoner for trial at the coming
assizes. In the county—if we except prisoners chargeable
with offences committed before the last assizes, we believe the
calendar is also very light. The county, as well as the city,
being now perfectly tranquil—a tranquillity which the most
intense poverty has not been able to disturb, will the rulers of
the land now manifest any sympathy for a long-suffering
people ? Can they now plead an excuse for the non-perform-
ance of their duties, because of diiturbance ? Or will they,
because of tranquillity, meanly falsify their own statement ?
" That until the law was vindicated, nothing could be done
for the country." Does it ever occur to those " vindicators of
the law," that its violaters in the first degree are those who
neglect their own household. That good example is neces-
sary to insure obedience and to establish order, and that those
on whom ;he duty of governing devolves, cannot be held
guiltless for the faults and the crimes committed through their
wilful neglect and apath. They can find time enough to
coerce and to punish. They cannot find time to encourage
industry, to reward virtue, and to discountenance vice.—
