THEATRE ROYAL.

I; The existing attractions at this establishment centre in
Madame Vestris. In spite of the thunder-storm which burst
!upon Liverpool, between six and seven o'clock yesterday
evening, the house was beyond an average one.

Madame's performance was as spirited as ever we remember
it to have been. It is with regret that we hear and see those,
covetous of the name of " critics," degrading themselves by
fastening upon the drop of one of her eyelids with which she
has been visited since her trip to the United States, and the
dastardly persecution by which her public career was then
and there circumvented. The attraction of her acting—its
winning vivacity alternating with lady-like repose—is not at
all impaired. At Manchester, on Saturday, she drew more
money on one night than the round sum made up by the
performances of the five immediately preceding her appear-
ance. We wish that her success here, as an attractive
"star," may be a foretaste of that which awaits her as the
lessee, and presiding genius of comedy, at the Theatre Royal,
Covent Garden.

Mr. Matthews was received with enthusiasm in the mono-
logue of " Patter v. Clatter ;" and, amid rounds of applause
from all parts of a fashionable house, announced it for repe-
tition this evening.

We understand that the new and noble steam ship, the
British Queen, will pay a visit to this port on Thursday, on
her way to London. She is expected to remain here only a
few hours.

EXPORT OF COTTON TWlST.—There are two or three
houses in Manchester, who have, for some time past, been
packing 30 tons twist each per day. Large as this quantity
is, it falls far short of what Messrs. Holford and .Co. ex-
ported in the autumn of 1836. This house, for eight or ten
weeks in succession, actually exported fifty tons twist per
day !

PETRIFACTION EXTRAORDINARY.—We understand that
there are to be seen at the house of Mr. Roberts, Currier's
Arms, Argyle-street, near the Custom-house, a heart and
liver in complete state of petrification, which are well worthy
the attention of the curious, and were found by some work-
men in a bog, while employed in making a new road between
Holywell and Bagnall.

SINGULAR FACT.—A correspondent states, that a Mr.
Saunderson, hair-dresser, St. James's-place, has in his pos-
session a thrush, about six weeks old, which has taken upon
itself to feed and rear three young birds of the same species.
Any person, our correspondent informs us, may inspect the
nest and the young adopted brood.—Albion.
RETIREMENT OF PACKET-SHIP CAPTAINS.—Captain N.
H. Holdredge, of the favourite packet-ship United States,
has retired from the command of that vessel, and will soon
leave town, with his lady, for the beautiful banks of the Con-
necticut. His brother, Captain Henry Holdrege, of the
George Washington, will make one trip more to merry Eng-
land, and on his return will retire from the dangers of the
Atlantic for the pleasures and enjoyments of rural life. Cap-
tain Cobb is already in the enjoyment of rural felicity, in a
beautiful place on this island, where he regulates the aspara-
gus, radishes, and fruit trees as he formerly did his gallant
ship. Perhaps one might be envious of their future happi-
ness, but how can we think of the dangers they have had to
contend with, their many narrow escapes, and the numerous
lives they have protected during their long and arduous sea
life? What must be the sensations of a man who has braved
every angry element for the last forty years as captain N. H.
Holdredge, or Captain Cobb has done, on retiring to the
country, where new scenes await his coming ? He will re-
ceive fresh impulses, and the pleasure will drive away all
recollections of the past. They will carry with them in their
retirement the love and respect of every one, and it is with
regret we lose their valuable services. May Captaiti Henry
Holdredge have a quick and prosperous voyage, and when
he returns dame nature will receive him with extended arms,
for he is one of her noblemen. They will

Sermons in stones, and good in every thing."
New York Morning Herald.
GRAND PROTESTANT DEMONSTRATION.—We are informed
by good authority, that it is in contemplation to hold a great
protestant meeting at Newton, or some other convenient
place, in the course of the summer. The meeting will be got
up under the manageMent of the Liverpool, Manchester,
Wigan, Warrington, and Northwich Protestant Associations.
It is said that the Ehrls of Winchelsea and Roden, with
several other peers, will be present ; as will also the Hon. S.
Maxwell, Captain Alsager, Messrs. Plumptre, Hardy, and
other members of parliament. The clerical speakers will be
the Reverends. Dr. O'Sullivan, Dr. Croly, Robert 'M'Ghee,
Hugh M`Neile, Hugh Stowell, and others of the same
stamp. There will also be a deputation from each of the
above associations. 'We cannot conceive a greater intellectual
treat, nor any thing, more instructive to protestants than such
a meeting, consisting, as it will, of high rank, of the most
splendid talents, and warm-hearted churchmen. These are
the undaunted champions of truth, who watch the priest-
driven government, and, keep them in awe. With such de-
fenders, we have little, apprehension for the ultimate safety of
our protestant constitution both in church and state, now en-
dangered by the papist, the socinian, and infidel, and above
all, by the temporising of those professed friends, who are all
alike untrue to their principles, their church, and their
country.— Wigan Gazette.

BODIES FOUND.—On Tuesday morning last, between five
and six o'clock, as Samuel Davies, a shipwright, residing in
Vauxhall-road, was-coming across the bridge from the 'Wa-
terloo pier-head to the Waterloo Dock, he saw the head and
shoulders of a man standing upright in the water of the lock.
He obtained the assistance of a policeman, and the body was
taken to the dead-house. It did not appear to have been long
in the water. There were no marks of .violence except a
slight bruise on the little finger. An inquest was held the
same day, and a verdict of " Found Drowned." As the
deceased has not been claimed or identified, we subjoin a
description of his dress and appearance. He had on a blue
coat with metal buttons, light corduroy pantaloonsauam
stripedwaistcoat witlka black one
am ca pan ut -new sl;oes: He was about
5 feet 8 inches in height, and about fifty years of age, with
very little hair on his head. In his pockets there was a shil-
ling and a halfpenny, a pair of spectacles in an old case, a
tobacco-box, a clasp knife, two keys, and a Roman Catholic
prayer hook. On the same day (Tuesday), about half-past
ten o'clock, the body-of another man was found in the river,
off Woodside, by Henry Martindale, a boatman, who had
gone out to catch shrimps. He towed it to the Seacome slip,
and delivered it into the charge of a police Man, whd took it
to the dead-house. It had been a long time in the water, and
was much decomposed. It had on a black coat, trowsers
which appeared to have been white, but were much soiled
with mud, and neither hat nor shoes. There was nothing in
the pockets. The body has not been recognised. An inquest
was held, and the jury, as in the former case, returned a
verdict of found drowned.

A gentleman in the vicinity of London has about 3,000
hyacinths, some specimens of which are valued at above one
hundred pounds.

POTATOES.—In consequence of the dryness of the season,
there is likely to be a great failure in the potatoe crop in the
immediate neighbourhood of rmathwaite this year.—Car-
lisle Patriot.

The festivities usual at the Oxford Commemoration ter-
minated on Thursday night with a ball. The ceremonies,
both grave and gay, of the week have passed off to the satis-
faction of all who were present.

THE SCHOOLMASTER ABROAD AT CHonLEY.—Passing
through this place a few days ago, we observed over a shop
door the following notice to the public : Cheap clog gin
shop ;'' meaning, as supposed, that clogs were sold there on
reasonable terms.—Bollon Chronicle.

MORTALITY OF INFANTS.—By the bills of mortality for
London for the year ending 1838, it appears that out of
19,833 infants born, no fewer than 6286, nearly one-third,
died under the age of five years ; and there were besides 823
still-born children, not included in the above statement.

EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF FECUNDITY.—A cow of the
long-horned breed, belonging to Mrs. Robinson, of Beck-
stones, near Caldbeck, about a fortnight ago, gave birth to
the extraordinary number of four calves ; one bull and three
queys, one of the queys has since died, but the others, together
with the mother, are doing well.—Carlisle Pairiot.

TREMENDOUS HAIL Srottm. On Thursday afternoon
the village of Shenstone was visited with a storm of hail,
accompanied with thunder and lightning. A correspondent
says " the hailstones were as large as marbles, and in the
centre contained a small white speck of ice, very hard and
transparent. We fear the damage done to the gardens is very
great.—Stafordshire Gazette.
WELSH POETRY.-It is with pleasure we learn from an
advertisement in our present Herald that the Rev. William
Williams, of this town, is engaged in publishing a treatise in
Welsh on Welsh poetry, at a price which will place it within
the reach of every lover of Cambrian literature. From the
range of subject which the treatise will embody, (see adver-
tisement on our first page,)and the well known bardic reputa-
tion of its author, we have reason toanticipate a well-matured
analysis of the various elements of metrical success in the
structure of Welsh poetry. The lecture 'delivered by Mr.
Williams, with so much applause, at the late Liverpool Eist-
eddfod, is, we understand, the nucleus of the present under-
taking, but published prospectuses of the work bear ample
testimony to to the varied materials with which it will be en-
riched. Such a work as the present has hitherto been a des-
sideratum in Welsh literature—the bards of Cambrla having
had no Horace, or Aristotle, or Pope to address them on the
principles of their sublime art : if, indeed, we may except the
excellent published critiques of the Rev. Walter Davies, of
Manafon, which have appeared from' time to time in the
Welsh periodicals. We heartily wish success to Mr Willi-
ams' undertaking.—Carnarpoit Herald.

The growing crops generally bear a healthy appearance,
notwithstanding the late severity of the weather. In some
parts of the fens great complaints are made of the destructive
ravages of the wire-worm, by which the young wheat in some
situations, is rendered patchy and ill-coloured. The move-
ments of this pernicious worm are very uncertain ; one year
the East-fen suffers, whilst the West-fen escapes altogether ;
and next year the reverse of this will occur, the West-fen
being over-run, and the East-fen being entirely free. Mr.
Thompson, of Sibsey, has suffered much and indeed com-
plaints are general. Mr. Cordwin, of Stickney, has had not
only his corn, but his potatoes also, greatly injured, the num-
ber of worms in three potatoes set being 112, 120, and 121 in
each.—Times.

A party of ladies and gentlemen from Egham, visiting the
state apartments of the Castle, on Wednesday week, were
surprised to find a party who, from appearance and manner,
were " anything but respectable :" a circumstance which
struck them so forcibly, that they thought it most advisable
to steer clear of so suspitious-looking a company. This was
a highly necessary precaution, as the event proved ; for, not-
withstanding all their care, one of the ladies of the party
found out shortly afterwards that her pocket had been picked
of a purse containing three sovereigns.—Windsor Journal.
—[We ought in justice to say that not one of her Majesty's
ministers arrived in Windsor till the following day.)—John
Bull.

THE MARQUIS OF LONDONDERRY AND MR. HENRY
GRATTAN, M. P. : DUEL.—In consequence of a correspon-
dence that took place between Mr. Grattan and the Marquis
of Londonderry, respecting expressions used by the latter, in
his place in Parliament, to the effect, that the accusation made
by Mr. O'Connell and Mr. Grattan, against the tories (should
they come into power) charging them with a disposition to
poison or otherwise deprive her Majesty of life, was " base
and infamous ;" and a refusal to retract such expressions, or
to deny that they were applied to Mr. Grattan, a meeting took
place at Wimbledon Common, on Thursday, at three o'clock.
The parties were placed at the usual distance, and on the sig-
nal being given, Lord Londbnderry received Mr. Grattan's
fire, and then fired in the air,and Mr. Bodkin, on the part of
Mr. Grattan, then expressed himself perfectly satisfied, and
the affair terminated to the satisfaction of all parties.
PROGRESS OF POPERY.—It gives us no small surprise to
observe one of the monks of La Trappe soliciting contributions
in this quarter, for a monastery of their order in Leicester-
shire. It is a striking sign of the times, that those institu-
tions of the dark ages should be, again in course of erection in
Protestant and enlightened England ; but that contributions
for the object shouldbe sought in Scotland, is passing strange.
The irtation al andsiinscriptural character of those institutions
is so palpable, that it marks the light in which popery is re-
garded in this country, to obServe efforts publicly and zeal-
ously made, -to ror ainolifOiS institutions repudiated in more

REVIVAL OF THE SHANNON JOB.

When any reduction or modification of taxes pressing upon
the industrious classes is suggested, the ever ready answer
is, that " the financial statement for the year" must he made
before the House of Commons can fitly judge of the propo-
sition. Wait, it is said, till the budget is opened, and then
members will know what funds are at their disposal. The
end of Junc approaches, and yet no budget.. Nevertheless,
ministers, violating the rule they would impose upon others,
scruple not to propose immense outlays of public money to
gratify " the Tail." Not a shilling is tendered in aid of the
honourable industry of Scotland or the suffering labour of
England ; while government would lavish upwards of three
millions, in one session, on their creatures in Ireland. Two
millions and a half for Irish railways would have been voted
many weeks ago, had the government possessed strength
enough to carry the job ; and, by trimming between different
parties and interests, they may yet manage to obtain a ma-
jority for it. Not satisfied, however, with having this un-
finished affair in hand. Mr. Spring Rice has given notice of
a motion for a bill " to improve the navigation of the river
Shannon ;" which motion stands for Monday next. The
bill, we presume, is the same which was before the house last
union for successive months, but postponed from one day
to another, till at length it disappeared from the paper. Al-
ready has the Shannon commission cost the country X 50,000. ;
and, according to the fourth report of the commissioners, it
is intended to lay out nearly £600,000 more ; to be con-
tribntad in the following proportions, by
The Püblic
Counties and Baronies 266,134 6 2.}
Proprietors .27,755 10 3i

£584,805 17 94
But the whole of this sum, like the two millions and a half
for railways, is in the first instance to be advanced out of the
public treasury ; in other words, an increase of more than
three millions is to be made :to the national debt for railway
and Shannon jobs in Ireland. " Oh, but the money will be
repaid after the improvements are effected !"—Credat Ju-
drus I The history of Irish improvements warns us how to
trust the security of public works for the restoration of mo-
ney advanced upon them. No ; the truth is, that govern-
ment intend to lend :on security which private capitalists
would not look at—in effect, the loans would be grants. The
amount of patronage thus obtained, not merely by the actual
disbursement of the cash, but by the means of increasing the
♦alue of property in favoured districts, is incalculable.—
When it is recollected that Mr. Spring Rice's estate is in the
aeighbourhood of Limerick, it will appear scarcely decent
that he should be the minister to propose so large an expen-
diture of the public money in raising the value of land on the
banks of the Shannon.
In the actual state of the finances, the budget still unopened,
but a large excess of expenditure over income being notorious,
and almost certain to continue, even Lord Melbourne's faith-
fxl must pause before they throw £500,000 into
the Shannon. Possibly Mr. Rice has no present expectation
of carrying the bill, and has merely put his motion on the
pa)ger to shew that the scheme is yet alive : but if we find that
the measure is to be pressed this session, we shall endeavour
to make a fuller exposure of its iniquity. Spectator.

General O'Leary, one of the three commissioners de-
puted by the Colombian states for the purpose of entering
Into some arrangements respecting the foreign debt of the
republic, has just arrived in London from Venezuela. Senor
Pedro Gaul, another, has been here some tune ; so that the
coming of the last only, Senor Mosquera, is now to be looked
for, and he is besides daily expected. On his arrival, it is
believed that some arrangements will be immediately entered
into to better the condition of the bondholders, and to pay a
fraction of the long over-due dividends.
EXTRAORDINARY AND MYSTERIOUS HOAX.—A para-
graph, originated in the Weekly Chronicle, is making the
round of the metropolitan and provincial papers, under the
title of " Extraordinary and Mysterious Murder in Wales."
It purports to be an account of a murder committed a few
days ago at the source of the Wyc, under the most mysteri-
ous circumstances. The chronicler of this Tom Thumb
tragedy, pretending to write from Rhayader, stated that a
lady and gentleman. one of the age of 21, and the other of
the age of 35, had arrived at the little inn of Eisteddfa
Geryg, at the foot of Plinlirnmon, and about 15 miles from
Aberystwyth, and had gone out to explore the mountain, and
visit the source of the Wye. Their not returning in the
evening caused a great sensation in the little inn, the sup-
posed writer, and John Griffith, the landlord, are stated to
have gone forth in search of the absentees, and the following
scene is described, which if it had a single grain of truth to
support it would have been very romantic :—" We at length
reached the source of the Wye, which is a little pool which
you might almost cover with your hand, and no object re-
sembling a human figure being within view, we were about to
return, when suddenly my attention was caught by some-
thing like the crown of a bonnet at a little distance. On
reaching the spot, I found one of the objects of our search.
The lady was in a hollow, sitting in an attitude of perfect
ease and composure, with her back leaning against the bank.
She was dead ; but not from cold. Iler left breast, above
where the heart beats, was deeply pierced with some sharp
instrument, a knife or a dagger. The unhappy victim was
5 feet 7 inches in height, of is slender but well turned figure.
No traces of the gentleman were to be found, and unfortu-
nately the only description of his dress and person 1 could
obtain was too indefinite to be of any use. I despatched an
express to Aberystwyth, and am now spreading the intelli-
gence as I travel." Such is the substance of this dire event,
which takes up half a column of the Weekly Chronicle to
narrate. We are authorised to give a flat contradiction to
the whole story. We have no occasion to state that the
fabricator never sent an express to Aberystwyth, nor that we
ever heard of it until we saw it in the newspapers—and the
truth is that the " Extraordinary and Mysterious Murder"
was never antamitted in any spot of the inhabitable globe,
ascent the'colurans of the Weekly Chronicle. Mr. John
Grith, tie landlord of the respectable little mountain inn,
Eisteddfa Geryg, request us to state that he never heard of
murder, and that the whole paragraph, fi.ona begit-mini: to

" As it is possible that you may not hear friim any other
quarter of the visitation which this neighbourhood had during
the last night, I proceed to give you a brief sketch of it, as
far as I can collect from those who heard and felt it. In
short, we have had an earthquake, two shocks of which were
distinctly felt •, the latter by almost every person in the
neighbourhood. Those who heard and felt the first describe
it as a slight vibration of their bedrooms, about 12 o'clock
at night ; but so slight that, if nothing else had followed, it
would have been forgotten altogether. However, about half-
past three, a rumble like distant thunder was heard, which
was instantaneously followed by a violent shaking of the
doors, windows, and furniture of all the houses in the dis-
trict ; many people leaped out of their beds, and some rushed
into the streets for fear. Some examined their houses from
top to bottom, under the idea that thieves had got in, and
were robbing them ; in others the doors were shaken open,
the plaster dropped from the ceiling, flower-pots were shaken
down, and the pots and glasses rattled so much that several
persons with whom I have conversed this morning, thinking
that they were the only parties who heard it, concluded that
it was an omen of some dreadful calamity that was to happen
to themselves ; but when they found that everybody had felt
the same shock, they took courage ; arguing that what af-
fected a whole district could not apply to individuals. One
man tells me, that, feeling much alarmed, he got up and
went down stairs, and his dog was so much frightened, that
he was obliged to lay hold of it, to prevent it going through
the window, and that when he opened the door, it ran up
and down the streets as if it was road. I was awaked by
hearing the doors of a wardrobe in my room shake as if some
one was dancing on the chamber floor, and, suspecting the
cause, I made ready for a rush down stairs if I heard it
again. I learn already (ten o'clock, a.m.) that it was felt at
Downham, Wiswell, Pendleton, Milton, Waddington, and
all the surrounding villages.'
" Blackpool, 20th August, 1835.
" As you will shortly learn something on the following
subject, I write you what did occur, if you choose to notice
it on Saturday in the Guardian. At about 25 minutes to
four o'clock this morning, the majority of the inhabitants
here were disturbed by a violent tremulous motion, and the
sensation of heaving or risingr and falling of the bed on which
they lay, which was followed by a distinct noise resembling
distant artillery, as many assert. For my own part I did not
hear the noise, being rather deaf. On leaving my chamber,
I found the majority of the inmates assembled on the stairs
and landing-places of the hotel, inquiring the cause of this
extraordinary circumstance, which we are as yet at a loss to
account for. We then examined the outside of the premises,
which presented nothing to account for the shock, which we
have since ascertained has been felt as far as Poulton, and a
house at which I called this morning, about a mile in the
opposite direction. It was about four o'clock, just day-
break, when I walked down to the sands, and met two la-
bouring men who had been up more than an hour, but per-
ceived nothing on the shore, as they said. These circum-
stances lead one to guess, that it may be some explosion of
a magazine or powder-store, which would shake the build-
ings through the medium of the atmosphere without having
any effect on the solid earth. But you will perhaps receive
other communications which throw some light on this affair,
which is for the present (here) settled to be a slight earth-
quake. The tide was out, and the night remarkably hot.'
• ',lit in a nory
slight degree, in this town and neighbourhood,—but more
particularly about Cheetham Hill and Kersal Moor. It ap-
pears, also, from the Liverpool Mercury of yesterday, to
have been felt in that town, and to have been violent at Lan-
caster, where it threw down a chimney in Bridge-street, but
without doing any serious mischief. It was also felt with
considerable violence at Ulverston, Kendal, Garstang, Pres-
ton, and Blackburn, where it caused great and general alarm.
Under these circumstances we think that it can scarcely have
been caused, as our Blackpool correspondent seems toima-
gine, by the explosion of some powder magazine. A shock
was certainly experienced at Lancaster during the memorable
trial of the Wakefields for the abduction of Miss Turner,
which was for some time supposed to be that of an earthquake,
but which eventually proved to be the explosion of a vessel
in Morecambe Bay, having a large quantity of gunpowder on
board. We cannot, however, imagine that any quantity of
gunpowder likely to be accumulated in this part of the coun-
try could be productive of the effects which appear to have
been experienced on this occasion ; and the only magazines
that we know of which are likely, from their situation, to have
caused any shock in the district where this was most violent,
are those belonging to the pc;wder mills at Low Wood ; but
any explosion there would have been almost immediately
known at Ulverston, from which place accounts of the phe-
nomenon appear to have been received without any such ex-
planation of them.
" It may be worth while to remark, that a slight shock was
experienced a few days ago at Chichester, where, indeed, se-
veral others of a similar kind have been felt at various periods
during the last twelve months. The following paragraph, too,
copied from the Gloucester Journal, appears to relate to a
phenomenon of a similar kind :
" An extraordinary concussion of the air was felt and heard
on Thursday the 4th instant. We have received several ac-
counts of its having been heard at various parts of this and
the neighbouring counties at the same moment of time, about
40 minutes past four in the afternoon. A friend of ours heard
it on the Worcester race-course, another at Melksham in
Wiltshire, and, we believe, in all parts of our own county it
was heard and felt. It has been described as a report as of
heavy ordnance, and followed by a reverberating heavy sound
for some seconds. A great peculiarity attending it, and
most strongly showing the immensity of its distance, is the
impression it made on all those who heard it, as if it was im-
mediately in their vicinity.'
It is somewhat remarkable that the shock experienced in
1835 was preceded by an occurrence of the same kind, in
Gloucestershire, and Wiltshire, and the following paragraph,
from the Dorset County Chaonicle, shows that the recent
shock was, in like manner, preceded by another in Somerset-
shire, which is an adjoining county to Gloucestershire and
Wiltshire. The coincidence is certainly curious:—
"We learn from a correspondent, that a shock of an
earthquake was felt in Bridgewater and its neighbourhood on
Wednesday the 22d May, a little before eleven o'clock in the
morning. It was generally, by persons who happened at the
time to be moving about, or engaged in any active employ-
ment, but by invalids who were in their beds, and by almost
all persons who were alone, or occupied in writing, needlework
or other quiet and sedentary employments, the shock was
sensibly, and in many instances, severely felt. They all speak
of it in the same way, as if a heavy blow from beneath had
struck against the ground or floor on which they were, ac-
companied by a dead but loud report, which was unlike any
sound they had ever heard before ;at the same time to those
who were in their houses, the floors, ceilings, and walls, ap-
peared during several seconds, to be in violent motion. Many
women were so much terrified, that they ran out of their
houses. expecting every moment to see them fall; and it was
not without some difficulty and delay that they were prevailed
upon to enter them again. Our correspondent has ascertained
that the shock was felt at Cilvie, on the west, and at Badg-
worth, on the east of Bridgwater, and through all the inter-
\ ening parishes, making an extent of about 16 miles in a
straight line. A moderately brisk wind was blowing at the
time, hut there wag no particular or unusual appearance in
the ,ky, and the barometer was:not affected."

(From the Mail of Saturday)
EARTHQUAKE.-A rather smart shock of an earthquake
was felt on Tuesday, in the neighbourhood of Rochdale,
Middleton, Bury, &c. We have ascertained the following
particulars :—About half-past twelve, a considerable tremour
of the earth was felt at Middleton. It was at first thought
to be caused by the unloading of balks of timber, and several
persons ran out to see them. The vibration did not last
above two seconds. At Rochdale the shock was in some
parts of the town and district very perceptible. A gentleman's
family at Lark hills were much alarmed, and some of them
quitted the house in terror. A medical gentleman was in his
surgery, when he heard a noise, and felt a tremour of the
earth, as if large loads of timber were being thrown down,
and thought the noise came from a neighbouring timber
yard ; his phials jingled on the shelves, and the liquids in
them were disturbed. A gentleman residing at the top of
Yorkshire-street was shaving, and thought the window was
coming towards his face ; and the family of another gentle-
man near the same place actually ran out of the house. It is
remarkable that one side of Blackwater-street was very per-
ceptibly agitated, whilst on the other side the shock was not
felt at all. No damage whatever has been heard of at Roch-
dale. At Heywood the tremour and sound were more vio-
lent ; the engine at Mr. Mill's machine-shop was thrown
out of geering by the vibration ; and a set of china tea-things
were broken in the cupboard. At the residence of Mr. W.
Mason, manufacturer, at Miln-row, Hollingworth, and
through the base of Blackstone-edge, the shock was more or
less felt; as also in the valley, and on the western side of the
Roach. At Bacup, and throughout the forest of Rossendale
it was felt ; in some localities, of course, more perceptible
than others. At Haslingden, Edenfield, Rawtenstawl, and
their neighbourhoods, the effects are described as being the
same : as also at Summerseat, Nuttall, and Ramabottom—
at the latter place a number of the people in the mills left
their work in terror ; and in Bury and its vicinity, the effects
were much the same as in other places—some spots being
more disturbed than others. It also appears that different
persons in the same spot were differently affected ; some
being agitated, whilst others felt only the vibration ; and
others within a few yards were entirely unconscious of either
the noise or the motion. At Manchester the shock was not
at all observed. .

THE PLAINS OF TROY.—The poetical idea of the plains of
Troy, the arena of Homer's battles, is frequently disturbed
in passing the flat, sandy, and marshy ground, by seeing its
present inhabitants,—the buffalo, with all but its head im-
mersed in the swamps, the heron feeding in the shallow
streams, and the frogs, whosevoices certainly vary more than
that of any other animal, sounding at different times like cry-
ing children, barking dogs, pigeons, and crows ; and, when
in great numbers, producing a harmony almost as agreeable
as the singing of birds. On the banks or sandy places the
helpless tortoise is crawling sleepily along, and as we pass
timidly draws in its head. They are so numerous that I often
turn my horse out of the way to avoid them, although doubt-
less their hard shell would sufficiently protect them from in-
jury. The dead ones lying about lose their outer shell, and
become perfectly white, of a limy bone, with the horny scales
scattered around.—Fellows's Journal.
THE TROPHY or VICTORY.—The following instance of the
fidelity and courage of a terrier occurred at Glasgow :—One
evening, as a young gentleman, of the name of Hardie, was
passing through St. Andrew's Square, on his way home to
his father's house, in Charlotte-street, he was stopped op-
posite the north-west corner of St. Andrew's church, by a
man, armed with a large stick, who seized him' by the breast,
and, striking him a violent blow on the head, desirenim in-
stantly to deliver up his watch. As he was preparing to re-
peat the blow, a terrier belonging to Mr. Hardie sprang at
the ruffian, and seized him by the throat, and his master at
the same time giving him a violent push, he fell backwards
and di opped his stick, which the other immediately seized
and carried off. The terrier soon after followed him home,
+apt}, nc n troph of his courage, .ons•lv half"
the front of the man's waistcoat, In the lining of which half-
a-guinea was found carefully sewed up. The waistcoat was,
of course, woollen stuff, with a black stripe, much worn and
tattered, and not at all corresponding with the elegance of
the walking-stick, which had a gilt head, and contained a
handsome small sword.—Anecdotes of Dogs.
CHARITY BOY'S LEATHER UNMENTIONABLES.—There
is one garment, however, which, by the laws of all charitable
institutions, is ordained to made of leather, warranted not to
stretch, and to be made scant enough to keep within compass
the strides of those that wear it ; and which garment by the
laws of conventional decency, is not allowed to be named.
There is much fitness arising out of the very incongruities of
this world, would persons observingly distil it out." For
instance,—here is a charity garment to which conventional
decency denies a name ; on which the charity garment makes
no more ado but straightway confers the name of " Hypo-
crite," upon conventional decency. So that though the
charity garment was never yet known to fit charity boy, the
name of " Hypocrite " fits conventional decency, as if it had
been not only bespoke, but made to measure. Conventional
decency may therefore say with Plautus :—Decet me hcec yes-
tis. It sits well upon me. And then again, how aptly the
toughness and scantiness of parochial charity are typified in
a poor boy's leather unmentionables, they being made of the
" fallow-deer," and warranted never to reach up to the hip-
joint nor down to the knee ? See what compactness, what
rigidity ; what a disclamation of all pretension ; they will no
more admit of a doubt than of a pirouette. Their testimony
as far as it goes, is pure matter of fact. You may take their
word for a thousand pounds. Go thy ways, poor little
charity boy ! thou shalt one day find the rigours of even
parish charity moderated, and that thou has not been chant-
ing "eke" in vain.—Floreston, or the new Lord of the Manor.
SNOWDONIA.—Rising gradually and majestically from its
rock-girt base, Snowdon embraces within its limits a distinct
region of subject hills, valleys, and lakes, stretching across
the country in one vast unbroken chain, from sea to sea. It
was formerly considered, in fact, to comprise within itself a
little kingdom ; the barons of Snowdon were the most potent
lords of the soil, and the seigniory of its broad and bold
domain was always the most severely contested and the last
resigned. Edward I. celebrated his final triumph over the
ill-fated Llewellyn in jousts and festivals upon its plains; he
often made it his favourite summer residence ; it was chosen
as the congress of the native princes, and of the bardic con-
tests; and palaces and hunting seats animated its wooded
and well-peopled eminences. 'Now a comparatively barren
wilderness of heights spreads before the eye ; naked massy
ridges still rear their natural barrier against the skies : but
most of the military stations, castles, and towers, which
made them formidable, are seen no more."—Extractedfrom
Roscoe's Wanderings and Excursions in North Wales.
A NEW ISLAND.—A Valparaiso letter of the 26th of Fe-
bruary, given by the Journal du Havre, contains the follow-
ing report from the captain of a Chili= brig of the rising of
the volcanic island, or rather group of islands, to the west of
Valparaiso, which we have already mentioned :—" On the
morning of the 12th we felt several shocks of an earthquake.
A dead calm prevailed at the time, and lasted through the
day, the atmosphere being extremely close and hot. To-
wards evening a breeze got up, and we were able to move
two leagues. At seven, we saw rising above the surface of
the sea a rock, which, after attaining a certain height, di-
vided in two parts, one inclining horizontally towards the
north, the other seeming to be partly crushed by the shock,
and becoming less elevated, but broader at the base. The
two rocks, after being thus severed, continue to rise higher,
and at the same time two other islets appeared near the first.
The group ranged from south to north within a space of
about nine miles, and about 60 leagues west of Valparaiso.
In the night, we observed flames similar to those of small
volcanic eruptions issuing from the crests of this new Archi-
pelago. The next day we were enabled to judge of the
height of these new-formed mountains, and calculated the
highest to be 400 feet above the surface. Two other ships
have also seen this group, and a French corvette on this sta-
tion has sailed to examine it, and to land some men on the
islets if possible."

JOSEPH HUMS.—Hume's mother kept a little stall in the
market-place of Montrose, Scotland, on which was exposed
for sale a variety of brown ware, and the cheapest delph.
Education is cheap in Scotland, for by law there is one en-
dowed school in every parish, and Joe picked up, like other
lads in his station, the elements of Latin, and a knowledge
of arithmetic and writing. He was born in 1777, and was
about eighteen when he got the first push up hill. The
present Lord Panmure formerly William Maule, brother to
the late Lord Dalhousie) no sooner came of age in 1792,
than he commenced a system of loose living, which, more or
less, he has kept on ever since. One of his fancies was to
gather a party of wild young men to an inn, and sit at a
table until each had punished a dozen of claret! To this
day he is a three-bottle man, and boasts that he drinks such
of his guests as will drink, quite under the table. Another
of Maule's pranks (he was made Lord Panmure in 1831, by
Lord Grey) was to break every breakable article within
reach, and when the affrighted landlady came up stairs to
enjoy her astonishment as he coolly said " Put all down in
the bill." He had an immense property, and as he could
afford such freaks, a la Waterford, thought he might as well
have them. One night, when " the wine was in and the
wit out," he observed from the inn window, at Montrose,
that Joe Hume's mother had her stall covered with a new
assortment of crockery ware, value about £5 or £lO. He
and his bottle companions sallied out, carefully smashed
every article, and left the poor woman " like Niobe, all
tears." The next morning, young Hume stood by his bed-
side, and civilly demanded payment for the damage done the
night before. Mr. Maule asked what the cost was, and
when Joe declined to name more than what the things were
invoiced at to his mother, Maule said. " Well, neither she
nor you shall lose by it," and handed him £5O. He inquired
into his prospects, learned that he was anxious to study me-
dicine, volunteered to defray the whole expense of the lad's
medical education, and used his interest to obtain him an
appointment as surgeon in India. He went there, and ap-
plied himself to the study of Persian and Hindostanee. The
result was, that, in the Mahratta war, he was employed as in-
terpreter, postmaster and chemist ; was publicly thanked by
Lord Lake for his efficiency ; and having amassed a fortune
(principally by- contracts for supplying the army with cattle)
returned home in 1808. In about nine years he had amassed
£lOO,OOO. In 1810-11, he travelled to Greece, Turkey,
Egypt, Spain, &c., and I think he then published a trans-
lation of Dante. In 1811, he was tory member for Wey-
mouth ; in 1818, he sat for Montrose, and until 1830, when
he came in as member for Middlesex ; in 1837, he was
rejected by the Middlesex electors, and, paid O'Connell the
sum of £2OOO to be returned for Kilkenny'. *Such was the
rise and progress of Joe Hume.—New York Kroening Star.

A BOA-CONSTRICTOR.—On his return from Bombay,
Lieutenant C. bad a still more singular adventure near the
same place. He entered the jungle in search of game, pre-
ceded by a favourite powerful dog, that had courage to seize
any thing. The dog ran a little ahead, and suddenly made a
noise as if choking. " Run, master ! a chectah has caught
your dog," said the natives. Lieutenant C. advanced
cautiously, and saw a large heap, just the colour of a royal
tiger, black and orange. In a few seconds he beheld thehead
and neck of an enormous boa-constrictor slowly uncoiling
itself, and gliding towards him. He waited until half of the
snake was out of the con or hm,p, and then fired both bar-
rels. One ball entered immediately behind the .yo,
other about four inches from the head. The whole coil in-
stantly fell, and revealed the poor dog crushed to death
within the fold§. In the mean time, all Lieutenant C.'s fol-
lowers had fled, and he was forced to go to a village for as-
sistance. Having with some difficulty mustered a little
band, he returned and brought out the snake, the dog, and a
spotted deer, that the snake had killed, the scent of which
had probably tempted the unfortunate dog. The carcass of
the deer was so bruised, that even the lowest caste in the
village refused to touch it, declaring that it was full of
zakar, or venom of the ashgur, as they called the snake. The
boa was twenty-three feet eight inches long, and about six
feet in circumference. There was a large cake of fat all the
way inside from the head to the tail ; and of this the natives
showed great anxiety to obtain possession, declaring that it
was an infallible cure for all diseases. The body was bung
up on the banyan-tree opposite the choultry, or inn of the
village. People flocked from all parts of the country to see-
the monster ; and many of the natives used to try whether it
was possible to cut through the carcass with a blow of a
sword ; but even after it was skinned, no person was found
who could penetrate more than half-way at a single stroke.

THE MARQUIS OF TWEEDDALE'S DRAIN TILE MA-
CHINE.—This machine will make 10,000 drain tiles a-day,
one man and two boys to attend it, and 20,000 of flat tiles
for the drain tile to lie upon ; .but if the tiles are broad for
roofing, it will make 12,000 a-day. These draining tiles are
fifteen inches long, so that three machines would make in
one season (of thirty weeks) as many tiles as would lay a
drain from London to York. Now a man and two assistants
will only make 1000 drain tiles in a day, and these only one
foot long, which is 1000 feet per day ; while the machine with
the same number of persons will make 12,500 feet per day ;
so that if the drain be laid at the distance of twenty-five feet,
it will make in one day sufficient tiles for six acres. The
advantages are, Ist—The tile is much stronger from being
compressed, and less impervious to water—it is not only
compressed, but it is smoother over, which gives it a surface
as though it were glazed. They are capable of being made
from a much stiffer clay than usual, and in nine cases out of
ten the clay may be used directly on being dug, if passed
through the crushers, being much drier. Clay, unfit for
bricks and tiles by the common method, is available by the
machinery. The expense of draining will be paid in three
years, but not unfrequently in one.—Farmer's Magazine.
FIELD GARDENS.—There is (says Captain Scobell) in the
parish of Farborough (in which I beg to state I have not a
foot of ground) a tongue of land adjoining my parish, and
containing about fourteen families. This piece of ground I
rent from General Popham. The people had the reputation
of being disorderly ; m fact, I know that in times past some
of them had been transported. When I determined upon
taking the land, some persons said to me, " You had better
leave these people as they are ; you had better not take them
in hand : they will bring your system into discredit ; they
will not pay you your rent ; in short, you will be working
with bad tools." But I was not to be deterred ; I took the
ground ; I let it as to my own tenants. I have no reason to
complain of their want of punctuality in the payment of their
rent ; and from that hour to this, not one individual amongst
them has broken the laws of his country. Now, let us look
at this matter in the light of a charity. Charity, to be real
and effective, should not debase a man • and here is the
merit of this system—which consists in the Christian charity
of letting (not giving) land at a reasonable rate, to enable the
industrious poor man to obtain an independent living. An
acre of land let out in field gardens, at a fair charge of forty
shillings, or threepence a pole, produces a profit of twenty
pounds ! and mark, if any man lets out ten acres in this man-
ner, he puts no less a sum than two hundred pounds a year
into the pockets of the poor ! What ordinary charity can
equal this ? Nature, my friends, may be compared to a great
national bank ; and by letting every man have a share, and
by thus giving him an interest in it, we enable him to serve
himself, and to serve the rest of the community at the same
time.

RURAL JOKES.—" Last night, " continued Cadgerton,
" about' 8 o'clock, a gentleman who had put up his horse
here several times lately, comes here again in a great hurry,
as usual, on horseback' and without a servant. He puts
up his horse, and away he goes on foot, as usual, nobody
knows where. In about two hours, back he comes
here again, and with his coat all over flour ! Mind, I
don't say where the gentleman had been ! All that I say,
is this : the gentleman comes back again with a great deal
of flour outside his coat, and a great deal of flurry within.
Well, with that, mark you, my gentleman calls for his
horse, but he orders nothing else. So with that, says
Mrs. Rumbody, our landlady, says she ;—you all know
Mrs. Rumbody's as wide awake as a rookery at sunrise,
and hates a shabby customer as a man-milliner hates rum-
and-milk without sugar ; only let her once get a customer
into the Lumsbury Arms, and if so be that he will neither
eat nor drink, he don't escape out of her hands again
without a little smoking, —that's all ! I wonder,' says
she, how Miss Pollen, the miller's daughter, is to night : '
just so. I hope,' says the gentleman, as innocently as a
cow listens for wisdom in the song of a milk-maid, I hope,'
says he, Miss Pollen is quite well.' Oh dear, yes,' says
Mrs. Rumbody ; at least she was i' the morning ; but per-
haps, sir,' says she, giving us a nod, you can tell how she
is to-night ! ' Here, you may be sure, we were tickled un-
der both arms at once ; for what with the tlour on his
coat-tails, and his innocent looks, it would have been a sin
if we had not all began to laugh ; so we lets fly all together,
and kept it up so loud and so long, that I thought the
door-posts and the gentleman's horse would have joined in
it, before his master could have mounted him. Stay, a bit,
sir, says Mrs. Rumbody, looking as cool again as a
cucumber supper in July. Don't you think, sir,' says she,
it would be better to have your coat brushed? People are
apt,' says she, to be very inquisitive in these parts, and if
they should perceive more flour about you than gentlemen in
general can have any occasion for, they may make bold to ask
you all manner of impertinent questions, about your Flores-
ton visits.' Here he looks round again, but could discern
nothing for confusion ; while the waiter and Robin 'orsler,
and I, and some others, stood looking on as dank, formal, and
dismal as a row of alms-houses.. So with that she puts all in
motion again with one of her unaccountable nods,, and in a
twinkling the waiter and Robin began to plane him up and
down his back with the backs of two clothes'-brushes, whilst
I, with cook's dredging box, powders him all over as white as
snow. 'All right!' says I, so with that he gives us a
snilling apiece for our pains, and half a crown to Robin for
not givingliis-horse.any oats, he mounts his horse and off he
goes, as much astonished as if he could see behiwnial.':—

PREMIUMS OF INSURANCE AT LLOYD'S.

Only one Protestant has been appointed to the office of
a poor-law guardian in Galway, although nineteen-twentieth
of the division is Protestant property.
.A buzr.,.—A truly Irish duel took place, a few days ago,
at Clontarf, in which one of the combatants, Mr. Fynn, shot
himself' in the calf of the leg. The wound is reported to be
serious, and the ball, which was lodged near the ancle, had
not been extracted on the following day.

The imports of British Grain, &c. continue extremely limited; in
fact, as regards some articles, they are below the quantities re-
shipped io Ireland and coastwise. The arrivals from abroad, since
this day se'nnight, have also been moderate. We have, at the same
time, to report a better feeling in the Wheat trade. At yesterday's
market there were several buyers in attendance from the interior,
two or three purchases were also made on Irish account, and, on
the whole, a tolerably good business transpired at fully the rates
of Tuesday.—Some parcels of United States Flour were sold at
355. to 365. per barrel, but in home manufacturer, there was little
passing : ass. to 535. per sack may be considered the present value
of this description.—Without anything like activity in the demand,
Oats and Oatmeal are held generally at our previous quotation,,
3s. 10d. to as. 4d. per 451bs. for Oats, 365. to 38s. per 2401bs for Oat-
meal, as in quality.—Barley, Beans, and Peas may each be bought
on rather easier terms.—On Friday the duty on foreign Wheat from
6s. Bd. became 10s. Bd. per quarter, previous to which most, if not
all, in bond here had been released. From the Ist to the lath inst.,
both inclusive, there was duty paid on 55,000 qrs. of Wheat and
g,OOO barrels of Flour.
