The Bavarian Government, which was for-
merly one of the most liberal in Germany, seems now to
be foremost in the prosecutions of the press. A Mr.
VoLxitAarr, a printer of Augsburg, the publisher of an
opposition journal, called the Times (Die Zeit), was ar-
rested on the 26th of August, on his return from the na-
tional fete at Wittelsbach, the police having previously,
during his absence, seized his papers. He was conducted
to the fortress Frohnveste, and next day escorted to Mu-
nich; It is said that he is compromised by the prosecu-
tion instituted against PISTOR and Gaossx.

AWFUL FATALITY.-131, the sudden death
of the father, mother, and son, the chief members of a
respectable family in Bedfordshire, no less than three wills
were executed in respect of the same property, before any
probate arrived to act upon, a case perhaps without paral-
lel,— Cambridge Chronicle.

Accounts from Naples, of the 16th ult., state
that the streams of lava from Vesuvius destroyed the paths
by which the summit of the mountain was attainable, and
that it has therefore been necessary to commence the for-
mation of new ones for those who desire to obtain a near
inspection of the interesting phenomena daily occurring.
ALARMING FlRE.—Last night about 11
o'clock a fire was discovered in an apartment in the upper
part of the premises of Messrs. Summtas and SMITH,
Sheffield warehousemen, on the south side of St. Paul's
Church-yard. An alarm was instantly raised, and the pa-
rish and other engines soon arrivzd, when, by the active
exertions of the firemen, the flames were quickly subdued
and confined to the warehouse where they first broke
forth. The damage done is trifling, but had the fire not
been so timely discovered, and been allowed to continue a
few minutes longer, the whole of the extensive premises
and valuable stock in trade would have been destroyed.

the wages paid to hay-makers was Id. a-day ; a mower
of meadows 3d. a-day, or sd. an acre ; reapers of corn in

THE REMARKABLE STORY OE NIRS.
GODFREY. —The story of Mrs. GODFREY has been fre-
quently repeated in the following manner : This Lady
had been a long time ill, in consequence of the recent
death of her brother the Duke ; but one Sunday, fancying
herself better than she had been for some time, and able
to go to chapttl, as she was dressing for that purpose, she
suddenly fell down, to all appearance dead. The screams
of her women and a female friend brought Colonel GOD-
FREY into the room, who, having probably seen instances
of persons remaining in a state of insensibility for a consi-
derable time, and afterwards recovering, directed that his
Lady should be immediately put to bed, and that two
persons should constantly continue with her until indubi-
table symptoms appeared of her decease. The conse-
quences proved with bow much judgment the Colonel had
acted. Notwithstanding the opinion of the physicians,
who all declared that the breath of life was irrecoverably
departed, and in opposition to the solicitations of his friends
to have the body interred, he continued resolute in his
determination to the contrary till the Sunday following,
when, exactly at the same hour on which the change had
happened, signs appeared of returning sensibility. So punc-
tual was nature in her operations upon this singular oc-
casion, that Mrs. GODFREY awoke from her trance just
as the chapel bell was once more ringing, which so per-
fectly eradicated from her memory every trace of her in-
sensibility, that she blamed her attendants for not awak-
ening her in time to go to church, as she had proposed to
do. Colonel G., whose terwerness to his lady was unre-
witted, taking advantage of this incident, prudently gave
orders that she should by no means be made acquainted
with what had happened, lest it should make a melancholy
impression on her mind ; and it is supposed that to the dty
of her death she reina:ned ignorant of the trant:aetion.—
The Doctor.
