EARLY RISING.—There is no time spent so stu-
pidly as that which inconsiderate people passin the morning,
between sleeping and waking. He who is awake, may be at
work or at play ; he who is asleep is receiving the refresh-
ment necessary to fit him for action; but the hours spent in
dozing and slumbering are wasted, without either pleasure or
profit. The sooner you leave your bed the seldomer you
will be confined to it, for early rising conduces to healthful-
ness.. When old people have been examined in order to as-
certain the cause of their longevity, they have uniformly
agreed in one thing only, that they "all went tobed Aridroe, early."—,family friend., all

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
The Right Hon. the First Lord of the Admiralty held
his last levee at Whitehall for the season yesterday,
which was attended by the following officers:—Vice
Admiral Lord Aylmer, C. 8., Rear-Admiral F. Carroll,
C. 8.; Captains Michell, J. Drummond, R. Devonshire,
B. Saumarez, G. H. Eliott, G. Broke, H. E. Edgell. W.
W. Chamber's, D. Allen, R. F. Stopford, W. J. C. Clif-
ford, J. Green, Colonel Stevens, R.L\L; Commanders H.
Baker, J. Barnes, J. King, C. 11. Baker, J. T. Paulson,
J. Bulley, Thomas Michell, T. C. Sherwin; Lieutenants
R. Dawkins, R. M. Moorman, C. Bolton, H. J. Hall, 11.
F. M'Killop, C. W. Lindsey, Lord C. Butler; Paymaster
J. Thomson.
The following officers had interviews with the Senior
Naval Lord at the Admiralty yesterday:—Captains
Bushby, Denham, O'Callaghan, J. Shepherd, J. Drum-
mond; Commanders R. M. Marshall, G. Hewitt, J. 11.
Holman, H. Baker, F. AVG-rigor C. H. Baker; Lieute-
nants T. W. May, E. Madden, T. Pike, B. 11. Moorman,
J. 0. Freeland; Messrs. R. Collins, H. Michell, J.
Thomson, and Harskan.
Retired Captain Abel W. Thomas, whose promotion
we announced yesterday, entered the navy in July,
1793; and from that time to the date of his commander 'a
commission, June, 1814, ho was never on half-pay. He
belonged to the Victorious, 74, at the reduction of the
Cape, and was in that ship when,
in company with the
Arrogant, 74, they fought six heavy French frigates
for four hours off Sumatra, when the combatants sepa-
rated, after each had been well cripple}, and the Vic-
torious sustained a loss of 17 killed and 57 (including her
captain) wounded. He was made a lieutenant in May,
1802, having previously served as acting senior of the
Babelmandel and Orpheus. Subsequently he was ap-
pointed to the command of the Grappler gun-brig, which
vessel, 31st December, 1803, took the ground after sus-
taining a desperate conflict with an overwhelming force,
sent to effect her capture, and was then destroyed by the
enemy. So distinguished was the bravery of the officers
and crew that on being sent prisoners to Verdun, Napo-
leon commanded that the officers' swords should be re-
turned to them. The gallant commander was severely
wounded in the lip, tongue, and throat in this desperate
affair, for which he received a pension of 1501. a year,
an honorary reward from the Patriotic Society, and his
promotion.
Commander Bulman, of the Persian, 12, at Halifax
has invalided, and the Commander-in-Chief has pro-
moted the second lieutenant of his flag-ship, Mr. A. F.
Kynaston, to the acting command of the sloop, and-Mr.
Mark R. Pechell, mate of the Cumberland, to be acting
lieutenant, vice Kynaaton. The Persian left Halifax,
July 1, for the Bay of Fundy, to protect the fisheries.
Lieutenant Edward Luscombe (1810) died on the
16th instant, at Bridgetown, Totnes, after a few days'
illness, aged sixty-one years. He entered the navy in
1804, and served afloat thirteen years. He was in Lord
Gambier's flag-ship at Copenhagen, and was in the Im-
placable, 74, in the successful action with the Russian
74-gun ship Lelwood. He saw much boat-service in
the Baltic, was promoted in December, 1810, and as a
lieutenant served subsequently in the Cadmus, 10, Leo-
pard, 50, Horatio, 88, Namur, 74, Ganious, 36, Topaze,
38, and Minden, 74.
Rear-Admiral-Superintendent of Portsmouth, H.
Prescott, C. 8., proceeded on board the Britannia, 120,
Captain Yates, and mustered the ordinary establish-
ment; the gallant admiral afterwards went on board the

ROYAL MARINES.

Lient.-Colonel Fagan, of theFlymotith division of
Royal Marines, has been granted a month's leave of ab-
sere°, and Lieuts. Mansell, Meager, Farmer, and Dom-
vile two months each.
THE GENERAL COURT-MARTIAL AT CRATHAM.—The
General Court-Martial recently held in the Royal Marine
officers' mess-room at Chatham, which occupied nine
days, for the trial of Lieut. Edward Grant Stokes, of the
Royal Marines, who was arraigned on three charges.
1. For going to the Robin Hood public-house,
at Bur-
ham, and associating and drinking, whilst there, with the
landlord and others. 2. For entering the barracks with a
labouring man, without a hat, and his head bound round
with a handkerchief. 3. For disorderly conduct at the
barracks, by creating a disturbance and ringing the bell
of the officers' mess-house. The nature of the charges,
and the feeling prevailing against the prisoner, in certain
qnarters of the barracks, gave rise to great conjecture, and
the trial of this young officer was anxiously watched every
day by his brother officers. The result of this pro-
tracted inquiry and the decision was made publicly,
known on Friday, the 18th inst., by an honourable ac-
quittal of Mr. Stokes, of the three charges on which he
was tried. The decision of the Court was confirmed by
the Admiralty.
PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY.--The royal yacht Victoria
and Albert, Captain Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence,
G.C.H., went down to Cowes yesterday

be in readiness to embark the Court for a marine excur-
sion, should she be needed.

The Vengeance, 84, Captain Lord Edward Russell,
will be " paid down" at Spithead to-morrow.
The Trafalgar, 120, Captain Stopford, will be paid
advance at Spithead on the 28th inst, and sail on the
30th for the Mediterranean, calling at Lisbon, as at
present ordered.
The Centaur steam-frigaio, late pendant ship on the
west coast of Africa station, is being refitted with much
alacrity for further service—it is reported, to carry the
flag of Hear-Admiral Henderson, C. 8., on the Brazil
station.
Owing to the illness of Mrs. Stopford, we believe Cap-
tain Stopford, of the Trafalgar, has temporarily givtn
up the command of that ship.
Tho Oberon iron steam-vessel has been taken along-
aide the dockyard jetty to be finished rigging, afttr
which, it is reported, she will be taken round to the
eastward and commissioned for packet service.

class embraces a wide range, am. the unhappy sufferers en-
dure more anguish, and receive lass pity from those around
them, than from any other class of disorders; this in some
measure may be accounted for sioply because the symptoms
are not so strongly defined as it other disorders; indeed in
some cases no symptoms are recognised, and, therefore, the
hasty conclusion is jumped at, let all the ailments of the
patient are imaginary, and not vorthy of notice. There is
no class of diseases requiring mcre kindness and care. Two
or three of Old Parr's invaluable Life Pills will speedily re-
animate the spirits, improve the digestive powers, and re-
store the whole nervous system to a happy and natural state.

STATE OF TRADE.—MANCHESTER, JULY 22.
There was rather more life in tie market this morning, and
in several kinds of cloth and pm there was a considerable
business done. Prices, however, were a shade lower, and in
cop yarns, which have held higher rates hitherto in conse-
quence of a good demand, the decline is Ad. to id. per lb. on
last Tuesday's quotations. In longcloths there was a good
business, and, from the anxious .nquiries and testing of prices
by buyers, it is expected that, should the market give signs
of steadiness, there will be cossiderable business transacted
during the week. The chief business has been for the home
and catinvatAlapprt trasleo,

The " History of England" in question was a work
of great toil and research. In its progress the author
spent much time in the noble library of the Vatican,
and amongst the very curious collection of
historical records left by the Stuarts and now
preserved at Rome. The first volume appeared
thirteen years after the publication of the earlier
and introductory work. The author was then the unob-
trusive and beloved priest of the same little Lancashire
village, that of Hornby, in which ho died. Volume after
volume of the great and national work in question came
forth, but the author's fame never drew him from his re-
tirement. He had no taste for ecclesiastical pomp, and no
wish for ecclesiastical preferment. More than once his
name was mentioned in connexion with a Cardinalship;
but the great honours of the Old Faith were more often
awarded to the bustling political intriguant of the day
than to the retired and unobtrusive professors of
learned literature, and the non-political possessor cf
profound scholarship. Dr. Lingard has been described
by those who knew him well, as equally remarkable for
manly modesty and genuine independence of character.
The public story of his life is the register of the success
of his books. The man was a virtuous citizen and an
earnest professor of his creed. The historian was a phi-
losopher and a Christian in the widest and most elevated
sense of the term.—Chronicle.

LORD CAMPBELL and the CRYSTAL PALACE.
The Crystal Palace was the first topic of importance
that came before the Lords, on Monday last, and the op-
position to the maintenance of that wonderful fabric in
Hyde-park was lad by the Lord Chief Justice Campbell,
who informed the House that he represented the opinions
of tho clergy and dowagers in the neighbourhood, and
supported his views by arguments quite worthy of the
clients who instructed him.

through the winter, at a tropical heat, and then made a
promenade and lazar-house for all the consumptive
people in the metropolis. A very nice 'lace this would
be for healthy subjects to resort to, and to emerge from
into the cold sleet of December or a January blast I Nor
is much gained to the cause by the patronage of those
who would turn it into a riding-school, or covered
Rotten-row; as if the public were not already suffi-
ciently disgusted with the aristocratical insolence that
has broken in upon the privacy of Kensington-gardens.
If the building is to be preserved—which, upon the
whole, we think desirable—it can only be done advan-
tageously by devoting it to purposes in some degree ana-
logous to the present; that is, to the exhibition of works
of art and industry and of natural productions, with such
accompaniments, of trees and flowers, as will enhance
the general effect, without turning it into a mere hot-
house or conservatory.
We dare say, however, that a great battle will have
to be fought, before the wishes of Mr. Paxton and the
public generally are realised. The dowagers and the
Clergy will hold on with all the tenacity of their sex;
and "plain John," though not a hungry Scot, retains
all the perfervidum ingenium that brought him across the
border. The son of a Scotch Presbyterian parson,
who began life "in the gallery," and by slow degrees,
without brilliant parts, became Solicitor and Attorney-
General, Lord Chancellor of Ireland, Chancellor of the
Duchy of Lancaster, Lord Chief Justice, and secured
two peerages for his family, besides sundry other ad-
vantages, cannot be made of very vulnerable materials.
But it does seem rather ungracious, in one who has
received so much from the Royal bounty to appear so
prominently in opposition, under circumstances with
which every one is supposed to be familiar.— Weekly
News and Chronicle.

RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS.
BRISTOL, JULY 22.
STOCK EXCHANGR.—The market was slightly improved
to-day, Great Westerns having been done at 82%.
LIVERPOOL, JULY V.
Brom EXCHANGE.—The share market has suffered a re-
lapse to-day, and the improved appearances of yesterday
have vanished. There are very few buying orders, and the
market generally is dull. Tll transactions were as follow :
East Lancashire, 1334—Lancashire and Yorkshire, 47
Ditto, Fifths, 87 dis.—London and North-Western, 12214
c.—Ditto, New Quarters, 3t,4 p.—Ditto, Fifths, 3% p.—Mid-
land, 374—Ditto, Halves, 22 dis. —South-Eastern and Dover,
21%—York and North Midland, 18.
MANCHESTER, JULY 22.
STOCK EXCHANGIL—The share market has been better
to-day, but the amount of business done has been limited.
The transactions were as follow :—Caledonian, 9L4 —East
Lancashire, Quarters, 133%—London and North-Western,
Manchester and Birmingham, Quarters (C), p.—South-
Eastern and Dover, 21 4.

BIRthNGHAM, JULY 22.
STOCK EXCHANGE.—The disinclination of the public to
embark capital in railway undertakings cannot be better ex-
emplified than by the present quiescent state of the Share
Market. Notwithstanding the existing low prices, and the
increased traffic returns of the principal companies, not the
least desire is manifested to speculate in this description of
property. Nominal quotations to-day were the same as
London.

YORK, JULY 21.
STnoc EXCHANGE.—The transactions to-day were as
follow:—Lancashire and Yorkshire, Fifths, 234—York, New-
castle, and Berwick, 1734—Ditto (G. N. E. Purchase), 5%--

FATAL ACCIDENT IN A COAL-PIT.--A very
shocking and fatal accident occurred at Chorley, Lanca-
shire, on Monday, to two gentlemen visiting a coal-mine.
Mr. Henry Hordern Fazakerley, a young gentleman nine-
teen years of age, who had recently come into possession of
Gillibrand-hall estate and other property by the death of his
father, was down at this place, which is near Chorley, from
London, visiting, and in company with him was a Mr. James
Green, said to be from Bryanston-square, London; and
on Monday afternoon they were invited to descend a coal-
mine in which there was a good deal of foul air, to look at the
works. The colliery was that of Mr. Jonathan Blundell
and Sons. In company with them the underlooker of
the works (Mr. Billinge), and a sinker, named William
Taylor, descended the shaft, 203 yards deep, and they took
with them a blazing tar-rope to give light. Shortly after
their descent, a boy at the mouth of the pit observed a rush
of air up the shaft, as if an explosion had taken place, and
gave an alarm. The son of Mr. Billinge and others went
down in search of the parties (after shouting down the shaft
without getting an answer), but the air was so foul that it
was some hours before they could venture to the bottom.
The result was, as may be surmised, that the whole of the
party, four in number, had perished, leaving no one to tell
the melancholy circumstances immediately leading to the
accident. The bodies of Mr. Fazakerley,. I%lr. Green, and
their companions, were recovered about midnight, and there
is no doubt, from their scorched and disfigured state, that
they had ignited the carburetted hydrogen gas so fatal in
coal mines, and fallen a sacrifice to the imprudence which
had dictated the use of an nnproteceu light in place of a
Davy lamp.

return to Parliament just printed, there are in England and
Wales 304,064 free sittings established in the several churches

consider that they have no power to sanction the conversion
of sittings finally reported to Parliament as free into rented
sittings.
