MISCELLANEOUS.
A deputation from the operative jewellers of Birmingham has
arrived in town for the purpose of presenting to her Majesty and
Prince Albert some unique and elegant specimens of cunning
craftsmanship in that department of mechanical art. The
articles intended for the Queen consist of an armlet, a brooch,
a pair of ear-drops, and a cestus buckle; those for Prince Albert
consist of a watch-chain, seal, and key. These peerless bijoux are of
great value, not so much in respect to the gold and gems of which
they are composed as for the artistic skill that produced them.
These rare specimens of British ingenuity will be accompanied
by respectful and loyal addresses, setting forth the grounds upon
which they are respectfully offered. The artists pray that her Ma-
jesty may graciously be pleased to accept and wear these humble
offerings, as the example thus set by the Sovereign may promote
the revival of this branch of native industry, now in a depressed
condition ; while it is hoped that the patronage bestowed upon the
tine arts by the Prince Ct.nsort may be extended to that higher
branch of mechanical art. In the execution of these elegant or.
narnents, 22 different trades were employed.

Shortly after midnight on Wednesday last a fire was dis.
covered raging in the house of Mr. Payne, a baker in
Faversham, and in an adjoining house occupied by a person
named Sims. On an alarm being given, the occupants of
both houses were speedily got out, but a servant girl of Mr.
Payne, it appears, had returned to the house for something
to cover her, and was suffocated by the smoke. The body was
found in the morning but slightly burned. Upon inquiries being
made by the agent for the insurance companies, and other official
persons, Sims, the occupant of the house adjoining that of Mr.
Payne, was taken into custody on a charge of setting fire to the
premises. A coroner's inquest was held yesterday on the body of
the servant girl, and was adjourned for further evidence.
The grand dress morning performance, which is announced to
take place on the 19th inst., in favour of the distressed needle-
women, is likely to be attended with complete success. Amongst
the patronesses are their Graces the Duchesses of Norfolk, Su-
therland, and Bedford; as also the Marchioness of Abercorn, the
Countesses of Sefton and Kenmore, and the Ladies Aylmer,
Stanley, Campbell, &c.

The following is the answer of Mr. Macaulay to another remon-
strance from some of his constituents against his vote on the May-
nooth Bill :—" I have no apologies or retractations to make. I
have done what I believed, and believe, to be right. I have op-
posed myself manfully to a great popular delusion. I shall continue
to do so. I knew from the first what the penalty was; and I shall
cheerfully pay it."

Yesterday the sale of the fifth portion of the library of the late
Duke of Sussex, after lasting twelve days, was concluded at
Messrs. Evans' rooms in Pall.mall. The number of lots disposed
of was 2,956. The sum they realised amounted to near 2,5001.
The sixth and concluding portion of the sale will shortly take place.

WEST INDIES.

SOUTHAMPON, MAT 5.

The Clyde, Captain Symonds, arrived at half-past nine, P.M.,
bringing the mails from Tampico to March 26 ; Vera Cruz, April
2 ; Havannah, April 10; Honduras, March 20 ; Jamaica, April
8; Demerara, April 4; Trinidad, April 5; Barbadoes, April 8;
Grenada, April 10 ; St. Thomas's, April 15 ; La Guayra, April
3 ; Bermuda, April 20.

On Freight-486,635 dollars, 176/. British coin, 150 oz. gold
dust, 691 oz. of silver, 93 serons of cochineal, 13 serons of jalap,
300 oz. of plata brueta.

She also brings 72 passengers and 13 invalids, amongst whom
are—His Excellency P. P. de Oliver, from Vera Cruz, Spanish
Minister Plenipotentiary at the Court of Mexico ; the Hon. Mr.
Dakin, Speaker of the House of Assembly at St. Vincent; the
Non. Mr. Claxton, Attorney-General at St. Kitt's.

The Ex-President General Santa Anna was still imprisoned in
the fortress of San Carlos de Perote. Two of the ministers of the
Supreme Court of Justice had been down there to take his deposi.
tion, and had returned to Mexico after executing their commis-
sion. The general opinion in the city was that he would be con.
demned to death, but that the sentence would not be carried into
effect, and in lieu of it he would be banished the country for ever.
All his property had been sequestrated by the Government, and
will probably be confiscated, with the exception of the estate
Mange de Clavo, near Vera Cruz, which was bought with 11 e
dowry of his former wife, and belongs to his children.

It is believed that the present Government cannot hold out long,
and that the old federal party will get into power. Gomer Farias,
formerly President, and who had been banished for some years, has
returned to the country, and may probably be elevated to the
Presidency.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE AT WATERLOO-BRIDGE.—
Yesterday forenoon considerable excitement prevailed on the
centre of Waterloo.bridge, in consequence of a man, named
Edward Armstrong, of Eaton-street, New.cut, making a most
desperate attempt to commit suicide. It appears that he had
absconded from his home for some time, leaving his wife and family
chargeable to the parish of Lambeth. Information was forwarded
on Saturday to the parochial officers at the workhouse, who directed
Dunn, the officer, to proceed to Drury-lane, where he was residing.
Dunn succeeded in taking him into custody, and when on the
middle of Waterloo-bridge, he ran into one of the recesses on the
western side, and attempted to leap over the balustrades; but
before he could get over, Dunn seized his legs, and with assistance
dragged him back again. He was removed to the workhouse, and
subsequently to the Lambeth Police.court, in Kennington-lane.
—DARING ROBBERY.—On Saturday afternoon, be-
tween four and five o'clock, Mr. E. Turner, of the Rising Sun,
Brooksby-street, Barnsbury.road, Islington, was robbed of a small
cash-box, containing notes and gold to upwards of 1101. The
robbery was effected by three men, who were hanging about the
house for some time, and of whom he had received a quantity of
silver, for which he returned gold, and having occasion to go to the
cellar a short time afterwards the robbery was effected. He unfor.
tunately exhibited his cash-box at the time of giving change, which
the thieve. took note of, and having left it in the bar parlour, in
his absence, they secured it and got safe off.

We regret to announce the serious illness, from
