FREEMASONRY.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
THE CASE OF THE REV. DR. OLIVER.—The fol-
lowing Resolutions, unanimously adopted by the
recent Provincial Grand Lodge, will be hailed with
general satisfaction by the fraternity :
" Present the Right Hon. C. T. D'Eyncourt,
m.p., and a very numerous assemblage.
" That this P. G. L. entertains the warmest feelings
of gratitude towards the Rev. George Oliver, D.D.,
late D. P. G. M. for Lincolnshire, fur his unwearied
and successful efforts to promote the best interests of
Freemasonry in general, and in this province in par-
ticular, and for the unequalled talent, research, and
industry displayed by him as a masonic writer."
"That being duly impressed with a sense of his
great public, private, and social virtues, this P. G. L.
cannot but deeply lament the loss of the very valuable
services of Brother Oliver as D. P. G. M., the duties
of which office he for many years discharged so as to
gain the veneration and esteem of the brethren gene-
rally, and to call forth repeated marks of approbation
from the P. G. M."

" That the sum of five guineas he paid from the
funds of this P. G. L. in aid of the subscription now
raising for the purpose of presenting to Brother
Oliver a masonic ofiring,' as a mark of fraternal
regard and of grateful acknowledgment of his in-
valuable services in the cause of masonry."

FROM THE FRENCH PAPERS.

A few days ago, a young man of Briey, in the Mo-
selle, was informed that a wolf had made his appear-
ance in the neighbourhood of the village. He immedi-
ately loaded his gun with ball, and went in search of
the animal. It was towards nightfall, and seeing some-
thing move among the bushes in a likely spot for the
wolf, he fired. '1 he ball took effect in the body of his
own father, who happened to be at that very spot, set-
ting a trap for a fox, and his life is said to be in im-
mediate danger.
Mme. de Puymontant was, a few days ago, burnt to
death at the chateau of her husband, near Cintegabelle,
in the Ilaute traronne, by her dress having caught fire
from her approaching too near the hearth. She was
alone when the horrible accident happened, and it was
not discovered till she had become a corpse.
The Toulouse papers state that all the Spaniards who
stopped the Bordeaux mail, a few days since, have been
arrested. They prove to be part of the men employed
on the works of the canal near the former place.
On Friday last, a young woman genteelly dressed ap-
plied to the keeper of the Tower of the Cathedral, at
Rouen, for permission to go up. Observing that she was
much agitated, the man determined to watch her, and
twice saved her from effectin,, an attempt to throw her-
self over the battlements. Ire induced her to return into
the nave of the Cathedral, where she sunk on her knees
in great distress. The keeper sent for a commissary of
police, and being interrogated by him and the Procureur
du Roi, she confessed that she came from Paris ; that
having been promised marriage by a young man to whom
she was warmly attached, and learning that he had mar-
ried another, deSpair had driven her to a resolution to
destroy herself. The kind remonstrances of the Magis-
trate induced her to make them a solemn promise that
she would relinquish her intention.
The Journal du Loiret relates that Serein, the mur-
derer of the two children near Orleans, made, a few
hours before his execution, confessions to several persons
which put an end to all doubt as to the fate of his vic-
tims. He acknowledged that he was the murderer of his
own nice, eight-years ago, on the very day on which she
received her first communion, and who was found on the
following day strangled in a field. Ile is also said to
have admitted that he carried off a little girl from a fan-
bourg of Orleans some years ago, and, after having vio-
lated her person, threw her at midnight over the.bridge
at Orleans into the Loire. His body has been dissected.

The following were the persons invited by Sir
Robert Peel, to meet the liing of Prussia, at his
residence in 'Whitehall : —Henry Hallam, Esq.,

Royal, Rev. Dr. Buckland, Sir John ilerschel, E. Land-

tinguished men in the several departments of art and
science. Mr. Colnaghi, of Pall-mall East, was in attend-
ance at Sir Robert Peel's house, with several of the best
examples of the art of engraving of the English school,
which were inspected by the King of Prussia with the
greatest interest.

SHAWLS FOR THE QUEEN.—Monday
last, an
order was received by the Provost to send up some spe-
cimens of Paisley shawls, from which the Queen might
make a selection, with a view to give encouragement to
Paisley manufactures. We need scarcely saythat all promp-
titude was exercised to comply with her Majesty's wishes.
A committee of selection was speedily f rmed, and
a great variety ofshawlswere submitted to their inspection.
There were about thirty shawls sent, varying in price
from fifty to two hundred and fifty shillings. The value
of the whole amounted to 1571. ss. 6d. They were
packed in cartoon boxes by Mr. Kirkland, and sent off
by mail the same evening, addressed to her Majesty, at
Windsor Castle., The goods sent were of a most beau-
tiful description, and the style from each house being
wholly different, a great variety was afforded for taste
and choice.

FLOGGING IN THE NAVY.—We have been in-
fortned on good authority that since the Vindictive left
this port on Sunday week three seamen have received
four dozen lashes each ; thus the flogging system still
continues to the disgrace of Old England.—llanpshire

Local Committees be formedfor the purpose of receiving the
contributions of such town or district ; and, wherever prac-
ticable, that such Committee shall agree to furnish a Stall in
the Bazaar, and depute one or more Ladies (who will be hos-
pitably received during their visit by friends in Manchester) to
superintend its arrangements, and the disposal of the various
articles during the days of sale.
3. It need scarcely be stated that every variety of the arti-
cles usually contributed on similar occasions will be highly ac-
ceptable; but it may be observed that much of the value of
the contribution will necessarily depend on the design, inge-
nuity, and state of the donors.

sirable additions to the ordinary contributions of dress, orna-
ment, and vertu :-
1. Pecuniary Contribution

FURTHER PARTICULARS.

The Mischief .barque, Captain Richard Downes, of
and for Liverpool, from Lisbon, with a cargo of fruit,
arrived here this morning, having sustained considerable
damage in the gale of Wednesday last. The Captain
reports that on the 26th inst., in long. 6 deg. 50 soc., let..
51 deg., about 11 A.m., the vessel being hove to under s
close-reefed main-topsail, wind at about N.N.W., a tre-
mendous sea struck her, which washed five seamen
overboard, and carried away the bulwarks, stanchions,
companion, galley, and boats. The severity of tlf gale
was such, that the fore-topsail, which was furled, was
blown out of the gaskets, and lost, with the main-topsail
also ; and the vessel springing a leak, the Captain con-
sidered it prudent to bear up for Bristol. The names of
the men who were swept overboard were as follow :
Joseph Holmes, steward ; Thomas Abbott. second
mate ; John Hoffman, seaman ; Wm. Blackmore, ditto;
Alexander Collon, ditto.

Captain Downes reports having fallen in with a large
vessel, bottom upwards, about five hours previous to the
accident happening to his own ship.
THE SHAMROCK, BRISTOL AND DUBLIN STEAMER:--
I am sorry to inform you that serious apprehensions
begin to be entertained for the safety of this vessel,
which left Dublin on Tuesday, and was due at Bristol by
Wednesday evening's tide. Up to the hour at which I
now write, half-past twelve P.m., of Friday, no intelli-
gence whatever has been received of her. The Shamrock
belongs to the Bristol Goneral Steam Navigation Com-
pany, and is their finest packet. Her commander is
Captain John Hyde, who is a first-rate seaman.
From the direction of the gale, blowing off the
Irish coast, according to the accounts furnished in
my former communication in the case of the Mer-
cury and the Mischief, there appears very little pro-
bability of her having put into any of the Irish
ports ; the only chance of her safety now appears
to be her having become crippled, and thus left at the
mercy of the waves : in that case we may hear some-
thing of her from some port on the Welsh coast. Up to
the present time the Company have received no letter
whatever ; and from the subjoined, from Capt. Bailey,
of the Star, bound for Cork, which left hero on Tuesday
morning, it would appear that nothing had been heard
of the Shamrock at Aliford up to that period. The fol-
lowing is a copy of the letter which was received by
Messrs. Lunell and Co. this evening :
" Gentlemen—l take this opportunity to inform you
that the Star steam-packet put into Milford on Wednes-
day morning; at ten o'clo?k, in a tremendous gale of
wind, with a heavy sea. We are lying at Pater, with
two anchors down. As soon as the weather moderates
we shall start for Cork.

THE STORM IN THE NORTH,

ABERDEEN.—On Saturday last, the wind having gone
round to S.S.E., with snow, we had a dreadful storm,
which continued, without abatement., till Sabbath,
when the gale moderated a little.; but, on Mon-
day evening, it increased, and all night raged with
great violence. The snow had now fallen so severely,
that all the roads were more or less blocked up, and
communication much impeded. The Edinburgh mail of
Tuesday morning did not reach the Post-office here till
about four, P.M.—about nine hours out of course ; the
evening mail arrived about half-past seven.
HUNTLEY, JAN. 27.—We have had a most tremen-
dous storm of snow here. The roads are now partly
cleared, but the mails are far behind their time. Yes-
terday was intended -for a cattle market here, but so
dreadful was the drift, that not an animal appeared on
the ground. Towards night, rain fell in torrents, and
the streets were almost impassable.

The answer to inquiries yesterday at Marlbo-
rough House was, " Her Majesty continues daily to im-
prove in health and spirits.' The calls of the nobiliti
and gentry have been very numerous since her Majesty s
return to town.
SHEFFIELD.—We have great pleasure in an-
nouncing, on authority, that an official communication
has been received from Lord Wharncliffe, President of
the Council, stating that the Privy Council have decided
to advise her Majesty to grant a Charter of Incorporation
to the borough cf Sheffield.—

WOOLWICH.-FRIDAY.

ST. HELENA REGIMENT.—A corps for permanent
service in St. Helena is in progress of formation; and
will be organised at Winchester. The majority of the
officers have already been appointed, and the men are
to be raised by volunteers from other regiments of the
line. When the announcement was made to the 15th
Regiment at Woolwich, under the command of Lieut.-
Colonel Lord Charles Wellesley, that men were wanted
for this service, nearly two hundred expressed a desire
to join the new regiment, but twenty only were per-
mitted to enrol their names for that service. Such ala-
crity on the part of the men shows that they are ready to
engage in the service of their country in any pa" of
the world.

MOST EXTRAORDINARY RAILROAD Acct-
DENT.--On Tuesday last as the morning train of cars
from Philadelphia was rushing clown the grade near
Warren, Pa., with great velocity, the end of the broom
before the engine struck a turn-out, and threw the
engine off the track with a tremehdous shock. As the
ground was frozen, it proceeded nearly one hundred yards
into an adjoining common, drawing the passenger
trains along with it. Here the engine in running up a:
steep bank upset, and with it one of the long cars at-
tached, tilled with passengers, and a glowing red-hot
stove. Singular, indeed to relate, not a passenger was
injured, which may be considered a most extraordinary
and unparalleled event. One of the men on the engine
had his leg badly cut. Carelessness or recklessness was
the cause of this fearful accident.—U. S. Gas.

---
The laws of England have been the subject of
eulogy to many sagacious and learned men. I find them
often dilatory, often uncertain, often contradictory, often
cruel, often ruinous. Whenever they find a man down
they keep him so, and the more pertinaciously, the more
earnestly he appeals to them. Like tilers, in mending
one hole they always make another. There is no
country in which they move with such volocity where
life is at stake, or where pkoperty is to be defended so
slowly. Can it be wondered that, upon a bench under
so rotten an effigy of justice, sat a Saggs, a Jefferies, a
Finch, and a Page I—Law has become in England not
only the most expensive, but the most rapacious and
dishonest of trades.—Landor.

THE SHAMROCK STEAMER.

BRISTOL, SUNDAY.—I am happy to inform you that
this vessel arrived here by this morning's tide, and has
suffered very little damage, though it will be seen by
Captain Ilyde's statement that she rode out the whole
of the tremendous hurricane from Tuesday night to
Thursday morning. Captain Hyde speaks in the highest
terms of the Shamrock as a sea-boat. She is one of the
best steamers out of the port ; during the whole of the
time she had not three inches of water in the hold,
though the hatches: were open. The only damage done
to the engines is the loosening of one of the cranks,
which occurred when the vessel was about forty miles
from Dublin.

The following is the statement:—
. " 'We left Dublin at eleven o'clock on Tuesday morn-
ing; at eleven o'clock at night we'sighted the Bishop's
light, and the wind veered to S.S.W., and blew a heavy
gale with thick rain. At eight o'clock on Wednesday
the wind shifted to W. and W. by N., and blew
a perfect hurricane until one, o'clock on Thursday morn-
ing, when it moderated. Finding she could not make
head against the gale, I got up the storm-trysails, and,
with head to northward,. drifted the whole of that time.
At four o'clock on Thursday morning, finding by my
soundings of about twenty-five to thirty-five fathoms,
and judging by- the drift, I supposed I was near Aberyst-
with. As soon as daylight appeared I found myself
about ten miles to the southward of Aberystwith, and at
nine o'clock that morning I made into that port. Having
made such temporary repairs as were necessary, and
taken in coals and stores, she was, ready to sail again
on Friday evening, but on account of the dangerous na-
ture of the port for large-sized vessels, it was deemed
prudent not to attempt to sail till SaturdaT morning.
!hiring the gale we lost 400 pigs, but none of our crew.
The man at the helm, in consequence of the heavy sea
striking her quarter, was dashed from the wheel, but
fortunately seized hold of her sail, and saved himself.
The spokes of the steering wheel were broken to pieces,
but the vessel did not lose a shred of canvass, nor sustain
any material injury."

..
Why do fathers and mothers, in speaking to
their children, imitate dick infantine manner instead of
addressing: them in proper language ? A bachelor bag-
man in driving one day came up to a woman carrying a
child, who asked in a polite manner, a ride. The bag-
man agreed to do so, on the condition that no nonsense
should be tallied by her to her child. The woman,
comfortably seated, in her happiness. forgot the contract,
and thus addressed her little one :—" Georgie porgie,
Ye are gettin' a fine ridie pidie." - The bagman pulled up
his horse and said, " Good woman, you will be so good
as step out of my gig and give Georgie porgie, a walkie
palkie.
TAKING PHYSIC.—" Please, sir, I don't think
Mr. Dosem takes his physic reglar," said a doctor's boy
to his
emplory. " Why so ?" "Cause he's getting
well so precious fast."—American Paper.
