"This would, by -raising

draws no gold, but has its prices inflated to the amount of the
depreciation of the silver currency.
" It will soon become evident that gold cannot be had except
at a premium, and then will come the run on the Bank of Eng-
land, not from shippers only, but also by parties to hoard for the
premium.
"Such are the direct and legitimate consequences of Sir
Robert Peel's departure from the principle of protection to
British labour at home and abroad."

In confirmation of Mr. Buchanan's views, as to the difficulty
in which the Bank of England feels itself, we may state that a
report was rife on 'Change yesterday, communicated from Lon-
don, which even more strongly stated the same views than he

THE LONE HOUSE AND MYSTERIOUS INHABITANT.—
On passing the little village of Erith, once one of the
prettiest rustic spots in Kent, where the parson and the
surgeon formed the heads of the community, and its only
intelligence of the living world depended on the casual
arrival of a boat from the Margate Hoy in search of fresh
eggs for the voyage, a small house was pointed out to me,
embosomed in a dell, which would have completely suited
the solitary tastes of a poet weary of the world. Fifty
years ago, a weekly newspaper was the only remembrancer
to either parson or doctor of the world which they had
left, and that one only sent by the member for the county
when he thought it desirable to awake the general grati-
tude on the approach of a general election.. The Thames
certainly might remind the village population that there

It is understood that this great improvement will be forth-

EMIGRATION FROM THE POTTERIES

A. few days since,

numbering about sixty persons, took their departure for
America. Eight of the families go under the auspices of
the Potters' Emigration Society, but the destination of all
is Columbia County, United States, where the society
have purchased a tract of land. The emigrants are pot-
teis, but in the backwoods of the new world they are to
obtain a livelihood as agriculturists.

The Ralston estate was, on the 13th inst., sold by auc-

Wright, of Manchester, for £95,000 (a out £.15 per acre.)

OSBORNE.—We very much regret to say that Mrs. Os-
borne, who was so savagely attacked by the murderer
Cross, after he had perpetrated the horrid murder on his
wife, died on Thursday morning. The wound in the

neck had healed up, but she was troubled with a most vi-

olent cough, which, no doubt, hastened her end. The
murderer cut her fingers so bad, that mortification of one
of them took place, and she had it cut off about a month
ago; an operation which she bore with great fortitude.

FATAL ACCIDENT TO LIEUT. HENRY.-011 Thursday,
as Lieutenant Henry, of the Royal Marine Artillery, with
two brother officers, Lieuts. Budd and Adair, were driving
along King's-terrace Southsea, Hants, in a doz-cart, in
-b

urning a corner into , n-street, the carriage touched the
kerb, ran upon one wheel, and turned completely over, the
wheels uppermost, and the horse on its back. Mr. Henry
was heavily thrown, and fractured the back of his head,
)elides receiving internal injury, from the effects of which

he died on Friday. His companions received no injury
worth mentioning. The deceased was a very promising

young officer.
Messrs. Jennens and Bettridge, of Birmingham, have
just completed a splendid suit of papier macho boudoir
furniture for the young Queen of Spain. The suite con-
sistr ra, the " -ost

of eighteen reclining chairs, aso —arge, ever
made-in this material, sofa-table, light ornamented tables,
conversation chairs, and ottomans. The shape 'of each
article is exceedingly elegant, and their several uses are
not sacrificed to, but enhanced by the beauties of form.
The ornaments are chiefly of burnished gold and mother,
of pearl, in the ornate style of Louis the Fourteenth.
f

groups of biros, ,ountains, and festoons, are disposes
with excellent effect ; and the light and delicate tracery
of gold forms an elegant fringe to the gorgeous pictures,
one of which is a view of Windsor Castle.
