SCINTILLX.
ACQUA llv TA wcz TABLE.—Two glances make one bow
two bows, one how d'ye do ? six how d'ye do's, one conversation ; four
conversations, one acquaintance.
Saturday morning a petition was presented to the Ho-
nourable the House of Commons, from "the Society for the Suppre.•
slon of Duelling, of Dublin, for the adoption of measures for the pre.
vention thereof "—to quote the elegant language of the Common,
Journals.

Le Voleur, in reprinting a portion of the Parliamentary
debates, gives Mr. O'Connell the quaint appellation of " Ihmouratic,
Agitator."
LOG ic.—Fievie, in his " Causes and Consequences of
the Events of July, 1830," observes that " the first cause of the fa:l
of the Bourbons was their restoration." He might as well have pro-
pounded that Charles I. was alive before he died, or that George I.
never drank egg.puncb without eggs in the same.
The announced intention of the Police Commissioners to
attempt the expulsion from the metropolis of " beggars of etery
description" has caused considerable consternation amongst the hangers.
on about Downing-street and the Treasury, while it is said to have
afforded a hope of great relief to his Majesty's Ministers. Ever since
they have been in office, it is astonishing how many " hundreds upon
hundreds" of second sons, younger branches, and unfortunate gentlemen
and ladies, have been daily trudging beyond Whitehall to the tune of
" a begging we will go."
A Mr. Fames is amusing the Liverpuddlean lovers of
the drama by " placing a real donkey alive on the top of a ladder and
balancing the same on his own proper chin, without any deception."
ATOMS.--M. Becquerel, the French Academician, in
making some thenno.electrical experiments on atoms, has ascertained
that in certain combinations atoms arrange themselves as little galvanic
piles, the reciprocal action of which constitutes what is called molecular
attraction.—Werom Gazette.

ESCAPE

The governor and turnkeys of Lancaster Castle were on .ponds}
morning struck with dismay at finding that the enormous bars of one
of the windows of the gaol had been, on the preceding night, wrenched
asunder, and that two prisoners, the offence of one of whom has made
a great noise in the North, had escaped. Dade, the filler up of the
bank notes forged upon houses in the north, and against whom there is
also evidence to prove that he has been many years concerned in filling
up forgeries on the Bank of England, was one of the fugitives. Mes-
sengers were sent off in pursuit by Mr. Gates, the solicitor to the
united association of bankers, who attended to conduct the prosecution.
Dade and Holland, knew that three murderers were to be executed at
the gaol on Monday morning, and the governor and his assistants
bad been employed, up to a late hour on Sunday night, in making
the necessary preparations on the top of the prison. The two prisoners
took advantage of the noise arising from the work, and went hard to
work themselves at the bars. Having made a sort of rope of their beti-
ding, by cutting it up and knotting the pieces together, they contrived
to get upon the walls ; but as the rope was short, they had to drop from
a stupendous height. This they effected, it is believed, at about one
o'clock in the morning. Dade, as soon as he had power to move about.
exchanged clothes with his wife, who was in readiness on the
spot where they descended, and at two o'clock they were both
seated in the Manchester mail, which passed through Lan-
caster. The trace of the fugitives was lost at Preston.
As soon as the Court sat, Kirkwood, the engraver of
the forged notes on Arkwright's bank,land Collin, and Calvert, all of
whom were accomplices of Dade, who was to have been tried with them.
were put to the bar, and anaigned for having forged the plate and bills
of Heywood and Co. and, after a trial which lasted till nine at night.
were found guilty. The scaffolding placed against the prison on the
Saturday night, and forming part of the gallows on which the men
were executed for murder, broke the fall of the two fugitives. The
night of Sunday, too, being boisterous and dark, gave them assistance.
