STATISTICS.

From a paper on accidents in coal-mines in Belgium,
read before the Statistical Society, it appears that from
1821 to 1840, 2,592 persons were killed and injured, out
of a population of about 28,000. In the years 1840 and
1841, the legislature voted 82,000 francs to the various
institutions established for the relief of the miners.

In Lord Francis Egerton's mines, a total of 101 per-
sons have been killed and injured during the last three
years.

ECCLESZASTXCAL.

A new Roman Catholic cathedral is about to be erected

PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS.

At the meeting of the Home Missionary Society, held
yesterday in Exeter Hall, it appeared from the Report
that the Society had 147 agents, who preach in nearly
600 towns, villages, and hamlets ; and that no less than

10,000 children are instructed in their schools. Their
expenditure has this year exceeded their income above
2,0001., but a legacy of 5,0001. has, by the favourable
issue of a law-suit, been placed at their disposal.

r HE Nobility, Gentry, Professional Gentlemen
Bankers, Merchants, and the inhabitants of London and
is vicinity, are respectfully informed that L. HYAM,
TAILOR, Wholesale Woollen Draper and Outfitter, has
OPENED those splendid and spacious PrtlimiSES denomi-
nated the PANTECHNETHECA, next door to Messrs.
Christy's, the celebrated hat manufacturers, No. 36, Grace-
church-street, London, as a fashionable tailoring, woollen dra-
pery, and general outfitting establishment. In all new under-
takings it is necessary to enter into an explanation of the system
on which the business is to be conducted. His intention is to
establish one of the largest, cheapest, and best conducted con-
cerns ever established in or out of the metropolis, having a
thorough knowledge of business, unlimited capital, besides
having several first• rate establishments in most of the principal
towns in the kingdom. The Proprietor is enabled in conse-
quence of his large consumption to buy goods from the best
manufacturers considerably under price, and as his system is
to seil as cheap as he buys, charging a uniform per tentage,
those who honour that establishment with their patronage will
find his stock the cheapest and best selected in London. An
icspection of the annexed list of prices will convince the most
sceptic and cautious that he can nowhere else meet with equal
advantages. The Proprietor challenges the %Vest-end to excel
him in any of the requisites of gentlemanly dress, and his
charge for a whole suit does not amount to that demanded for
a single garment, even by most of the houses who boast of the
economy of their arrangements. Trial is the test—let it be
made, and conviction must follow :

economy, and regularity are an object, are recommended to
contract by the year, the following List of Prices being the

THE SKIN.—The increased quickening powers of
the sun during Spring, by giving an additional stimulus to the
circulation of the fluids, is frequently the cause of throwin.g_ to
the surface of the body the impurities of the blood ; to this
fact may be attributed the numerous cutaneous visitations
which occur at this period of the year' and which medicine in-
ternally taken is frequently unable to banish. The extraordi-
nary celebrity which Rowland's Kalydor, as a purely vegetable
production, has long claimed to itself, .as a thorough extirpator
of Impurities from the Skin, is during the period of Spring
most pleasing)), evinced ; it never faits of thoroughly cleansing
the skin, and is amarkable for inducing a fairnese in the com-
plexion prvviolably via,

INCENDIARY FIRES.

APPREHENSION AND CONVICTION OF THE
INCENDIARIES.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
For the last two months considerable excitement has existed
among the inhabitants, particularly the agriculturists of the
quiet market town of Havant, situated on the south-eastern
extremity of Hampshire, in c.msequence of several incendiary
fires having taken place, and letters of an inflamatory and
threatening description having been found in the streets, the
authors of which had escaped detection until Monday last, when
another fire was attempted, which led to a scrutinizing and
severe inquiry, and the suspected incendiaries, Charles Parrott
and William Sparkes (Mr. Charles Longcroft's servant) having
undergone examination on Wednesday, and corroborative evi-
dence having come forward, they were fully committed. Par-
rott was taken at four o'clock on Tuesday afternoon, and con-
fined in the cage, but at the time of his apprehension no susii-
chin was entertained against Sparkes. The Magistrate, Sir
John A. Ommanney, however, having heard that the two were
intimate, sent for the latter to interrogate him es to his know-
ledge of Parrott's movements on the nights of the several fires.
What answers he made to the questions pnt to him does not
appear, but it is certain that no suspicion attached to him until
Parrott was sent for from " durance vile " after the examina-
tions had been taken. It was four n" clock on Wednesday
afternoon bef.re the inquiry had been completed, and before
Parrott was confronted with his accusers. He had, therefore,
twenty.four hours of solitary reflection, and the result shows
that he entertained a correct anticipation of what was going
forward, for he had no sooner entered the presence of the
Magistrate :hen he at once denounced Sparkes as the perpe-
trator of the tire at Stevens's barn. "Ah !!' said Sparkee, "if
I had teen taken up first, I would not have told upon yoa." Re-
crimination followed, and the result is both were committed
upon each other's evidence, or rather their own confessions.
The investigation has called forth some of the most ex-
traordirary and unaccountr.ble traits of the human cha-
racter. It appears, on the strictest and most severe interroga-
tion, that neither of these wretches had any motive whatever for
perpetrating these diabolical acts. They were asked, over and
over again, why they committed the fires; and their reply was
invariably "we had no motive." And ore very extraordinary
feature in the ease is, that Sparkes has been a confidential ser-
vant of Mr. Longcroft, the Magistrate's cies k, for the last ten
years, and that he has been deputed, owing. to the confi.
dense reposed in him by his master, to watch his premises for
the last five or six weeks !

'I hey have confessed that, on the night of Stevens's fire,
being the second out of three which have taken place within
six weeks, they took some Lucifer matches to the barn, and en-
deavoured by their means to seifire• to tire `thatchT thartbey
could not do so, whereupon they went to Sparkes's lodgings,

The principle of this Company is to allow to each Assurer
such reasonable advantages, as may suit his particular views.
Thus, parties Assuring the Lives of othrs, may make their
Policies secure, notwithstanding the Life Assured may go out
of the limits of Europe, without the necessary permission of the
Directors having been previously obtained. Credit of half the
Premiums for the first five years, allowed on Policies effected
for the whole term of Life. Parties who have been Assured
for five years will be allowed to borrow on the security of their
Poli,ies, a sum equal to one-half the Premiums paid, less that
for the first year. Advances are made to parties Assured in
the Office, on real or undoubted Person al Security, for terms
not exceeding three years, repayable by instalments. Premiums
moderate. Participation in profits. Detailed Prospectuses
may be obtained on application at the' Office, or by letter
addressed to the Secretary.

CHURCH-RATES.

Sir R. PEEL begged of the lion. Baronet (Sir J. East-

State. He would do everything in his power to afford the
Hon. Member another day.
Sir J. EASTHOPE said he had no objection. It was im-
possible ho could press his motion for the reason stated.
The motion was then postponed.

affords succour to the Assured himself (proportioned to pre-

The Gazette of the Government of Pskoff, announced, that,
on the 10th of June, a fire broke out in the town of Ostroff. In
the space of a few days, there were six fires in that town, which
destroyed about twenty houses. The inhabitants were filled with
consternation at these repeated fires, but the Governor of the pro-
vince, who immediately repaired to the spot, allayed their fears,
and, by the prompt and active measures which he employed,
put a stop to these devastations, into the cause of which a strict
inquiry was instituted.—Journal de St. Petersburgh.

at London. It was quite evident that the placard was :put up.
in order to ded•ive.
The Loan Igavon—No doubt of it. It was dew ts4,th the
view of extorting money ; and it is a scandalous tiling that a
Company calling themselves respectable should resort. to euch a
ontemptible expedient.
The defendant repeated that no placard kart been exhß.iited
of the kind described.
The Loan Mayor. said the defence was all a lie, and asked
the complainant whether be wished to press for a penalty.
Mr. Goss stated that he had no feeling of rcsealtment against
the defendant, and that his only desire was to obtain some secu--
rity for the public against an imposition which was exceedingly
aggravating.

very' short time age under similar circumstances. Jfe emn.
Plaine d against this very Company for the conduct of one .of
their Opt sins. I trust I shall have no other complaint, but „if
I have. s shall most certainly go to the full extent of m. lumen
in inflicting a penalty.
The (I,,fendant expressed his regret for what had occurred.,
and paid the costs and was discharged.
[All we c 'in say of this affair is, that if Mr. Goss does not
show more ill and perseverance as a doctor than he shows in
this instance as an informer, he will soon be left without
patients. ] _ _ _ _ _
