Numbers XIII. and XIV.
The subjects treated of in these Numbers of this
curious and able work are the circulation of the blood,
respiration, and metamorphoses. Under each of these
branches we find some very interesting facts adduced
to illustrate entomological physiology. The necessity
of atmospheric air to insect life, and the organization
which nature has adopted in the insect tribes, to pro-
duce the same effects which are produced by a different
organization in other classes of animals, are pointed
out with great clearness, and evince the indefatigable
industry of the author in his researches in a region
which we are `lad to observe is beginning to be better
explored, and to attract more general notice than it has
hitherto done. The study of nature in every form is
delightful, and should to be encouraged, if for nothing
else, for its tendency to raise the mind to the great
Author of Nature, whose works, whether stupendous
or minute, are equally impressed with the marks of
wisdom and goodness, and are equally calculated to in-
spire sentiments of admiration and gratitude.

It is with feelings of deep regret that we announce
the sudden death of Mr. Alderman THORP,
of Aldgate Ward, in the City. of London.
The circumstances attendant upon this melancholy
event have not yet reached us ; but the vacancy left
in the representation of the City, renders it imperative
upon us to take the earliest opportunity not only of stat-
ing the fact, but of offering a few words of advice to the
citizens, touching what we conceive to be their duty to
themselves and their country on so important an
occasion. Most of the abuses perpetrated in the govern-
ment of the City are solely owing to the Toryism of the
Court of Aldermen. There will now, of necessity, be
a„new election for Aldgate Ward. Let a liberal
Member—let Mr. SALOMONS—be chosen to fill
up the vacancy. London has ' done itself immor-
tal honour by electing Mr. SALOMONS to the
high office of Sheriff—his election was the triumph of
the great principle of civil and religious liberty. We
trust it will act in a manner worthy of itself, by elect-
ing him to discharge the functions of a Magistrate, and
thus secure to enlightened freedom another great

triumph.
On Wednesday last, a numerous assemblage of the
wealthiest and most intelligent Lords and Gentlemen of the
county of Cornwall, connected with the Mines, met for
the purpose of taking into consideration the present state of
the Vice-Warden's Court, and other matters relating to the
Mining Interests.—Cornwall Gazette.
COLBURN'S " NAPOLEON MEMOIRS."—AI-
-

though, in re-producing these Memoirs in cheap weekly
numbers, Mr. Colburn has commenced with Las Cases's
celebrated work, containing an account of the exile of the
Emperor, as being one of the most interesting ; yet, we un-
derstand, that no delay will occur in issuing, on the same
desirable plan, the narrative of his early career. For this
purpose, undoubtedly, no one has at his' command such re-
sources as Mr. Colburn, who is, in fact, the possessor of the
copyright of almost all the authentic Memoirs of Napoleon
that have appeared, among which are those of Savary, Duke
of Rovigo (the celebrated Minister of Police) ; the Count
de Montholon ; Generals Gourgaud, Bertrand, and Rapp
(the Secretary of the Cabinet) ; Baron Fain ; Dr. Antom-
marchi, &c. We observe already that " The Duke of Ro-
vigo's Memoirs" are announced for the present to appear in
volumes at Six Shillings each, the first of which is now
ready.

BARTON THE HIGILWAYMAN.--TiliS noted cha-
racter, who a short time ago, shot at Mr. Matthew Frost,
near Ashford, in which neighbourhood he also stopped se-
veral persons on the highway, appears to have removed his
quarters. He has recently been pursuing his pilfering pur-
suits in the neighbourhood of Cuckney, Nottinghamshire.
About four o'clock in the morning of the 2d ult. he stopped
a person in the employment of the Duke of Portland, at the
top of Warsop-hill, pointed a pistol at his head, anil
threatened to blow out his brains if he made the least re-
sistance ; he took from the man lOs. or I Is., and various
other articles. He soon afterwards stopped a person in the
employ of Messi-S. Hollins, of Langwith, but some of the
other workpeople coming up, he effected his escape. Barton,
for whom a reward of twenty-five pounds is offered, is one
of the most desperate characters in the country, is six feet
one or two inches high, light whiskers down his face and
under his chin, rather stoops when he walks, and turns in
his toes ; he generally wears a rough brown shag-waistcoat,
with sleeves, and a very broad-brimmed hat ; he has, we
understand, for sometime past slept in the woods in the
neighbourhood of Langwith ; be carries a brace Of pistols
with him, and is a most determined fellow. He has lately
escaped twe or three times from custody.-:—Perbyllierrvill.

MANCHESTER, FRIDAY.
On Wednesday morning last, at the power-loom spin-
ning and weaving mill of Thomas Bowers and Company, at
Levenshulme, situated between this town and Stockport, a
man named William Worth was seen rushing from the pre-
mises, completely enveloped in flames. The occupation
inof
Worth, as supenntendant of the gas department, &c., -.
volved such necessity for the occasional use of oil, that his
clothes were saturated with that combustible material, and
consequently the moment of ignition presented him as one
a great majority of the numerous workmen em-
m:ss of flame. At this time nothing was known of the ac-
cidentthe mill ; but as it was so near the period of
all were in a state of preparation for
by
ployed in
k the doors were thrown open in antici-
departure of the hands. To this cir-
leaving for bi'takfast,
censidered, a large portion of them
that purpose, an,
nears that the unfortunate man,
pation of the usual
contact with the rush of flame
cumstanca, hamanly
owe their lives ; for it ap,
Worth, happened to come in
consequent upon the re-charge.ng of the gas-retort. His
clothes immediately caught fire, ai.'d the confusion of the
surrounding assistants, who were naturally more inte-
rested in the preservation of the man than the pre-
mises, so diverted attention from the fact' that the flames
luiti communicated from him to the combotibles around
him, and thence to a wooden shed above, and their rapid
progress extended in the space of ten minutes to the top of
the building, which was five stories in height, having fourteen
windows in length, and constituting, an elevation of about
sixty feet, and a length of about forty yards. The scene
which ensued beggars description. One poor girl, about
sixteen years old, named Jane Whittaker, sprang in the
terror of the first alarm from the attic story to the fearful
depth below. She was taken up in a most deplorable state,
but still with life. Her back was miserably crushed, and
she was otherwise much injured. She was taken to the
Infirmary, but with no hope of recovery. In the distrac-
tion which prevailed, the stairs being all on fire and every
customary means of descent cut o, rol
windows, and pes were attached
to the lead pipes nearest the sevff era
terrified crowds that pressed for deliverance, male and
fent,',.le, were one by one received by their friends below,
on the completion of their perilous transit. In the
meantime the flames spread with' frightful velocity.
The first engine arrived from Stockport, but little effect
was produced. The arrival shortly after, however, of
powerful eogines, from Manchester, was attended with a
better result. There was an abundant supply of water.
The dwelling-Ixotoe attached to the pill, was saved, to-
gether with the grezter portion of two of the lower rooms
at the south end of the mill, and a considetzble quantity of
valuable property. Wort!i, as stated above, was enveloped
in flames, which burst forth on an attempt being made to
recharge the gasometer ; any- when the fire had nearly burnt
itself out, the sufferer lay a blackened, shapeless mass,
nothing being distinguishable but an encrustation of cinder.
He was then quite insensible, buf, Afterwards recovered
consciousness, and existed unti yesterday morning, when
death relieved him.
A young man named Thomson, whose exertions in re-
moving property from the burning edifice were conspicuous,
was also severely hurt by the falling in of the stairs.
The amount of injury sustained by
the machinery is
estimated at from twelve to fifteen thousand poun
the building, which produced a rental of 5001. per annum,
is estimated at about the same amount as the machinery
so that from twenty-five to thirty thousand pounds have been
swallowed up by this fire. But a small portion of that
sum, it is said, was assured.
