COMING EVENT.—The well-informed court correspond-
ent of the Cheltenham Looker-on says: " It is whispered,
though with an air of the greatest mystery, and with a
secrecy such as exists only among " maids of honour," that
her Majesty's accouchment may be expected about the first
week in December.

CowEs.—.Since the Earl of Durham arrived here, his
health has been gradually improving, and he is beyond all
question decidedly better. Lady Durham, who on her land-
ing from Dover, from being up all night and the effects of the
voyage, looked as ill as if she had just left a sick bed, is now
quite recovered.

LOUGH CORRIB.—The closing-in of the Wood Quay and
Terreyland embankment, and sinking of the Terryland river,
has had the effect of draining off the water as far as Castle.. gar and that neighbourhood, adding a plain two and a half
miles in length to the suburbs of Galway.—Mayo Telegraph
From the experience had, there seems very little doubt but
that wood pavements will come into general use in the capi-
tal and all great towns. The easiness of draught, the ab-
sence of noise, the exceedingly small quantity of wear and
tear, give it a superiority over every kind of paving yet used
for carriage roads.
HANOVER, JUNE 24.—Dr. Graefe has arrived from Berlin
and it is positively affirmed that he will certainly perform tlif
operation on the eyes of the Crown Prince. His
Highness has decidedly expressed his resolution to submit to
the operation now. Some apartments in the prince's sum-
mer residence (George's Park), have been assigned to Dr.
Graefe during his stay here.
LARGE STEAMER.—Where the wonders of steam are to
stop no one can determine. The same day which saw the
Archimedes pass the quays of Greenock also witnessed the
first trial of the Achilles, previous to her taking her place on
the station for which she had been built, between the Clyde
and Liverpool. This splendid ship, built by Messrs. Steele
and Co., of this port, is about 1000 tons burden, and has en-
gines, by Messrs. Caird and Co., also of Greenock, of larger
size than the Great Western. Although the day was mita-
vourable, blowing a gale, the speed of the ship was between
fourteen and fifteen miles an hour through the water. This
extraordinary speed was accomplished by the engines, which
have a stroke of seven feet, making nineteen and twenty re
volutions per minute with the greatest readiness.—Greeno,
Advertiser.

THE SEASON.—THE WEATHER. —We greatly lank,
say that the weather has just set in in these parts with
aspect most unfavourable. Boisterous winds accompa, A
by drenching rains have prevailed for several days and
certainly the visitation could not have arrivecedmamt aenmeeodre, un-
lucky moment. The hay season having
grass in many places is lying about awaiting the return t
tine weather, so that all is for the present at a stand still.
The grain crops, too, being very heavy this year, are likely
to sufer quickly from the wet. Already we have seen some
laid that we fear will not rise again. The fruits of the season
to maturity. We believe it was only on Satur-
green peas aprared in our market in quantity,

CURE FOR HYDROPHOBIA.—Dr. Bellinaye has pub
in The Times an account of an Austrian schoolmaster 11
discovered a remedy for this appalling disease, which
been examined by the government, and, as far as the ext.
ments have gone, proved to be successful. The medic
is Gentiana Cruciata, taken internally in doses proportio, to the violence of the malady ; but there is also a sum, lancing of the froenum under the tongue, where the distc
per first exhibits itself. The discharge of a viscous ye)
matter is said to be essential to
the cure; which -
is, Lowe
effected after the most dreadful symptoms.

A PENNYWORTH OF PEACE !—And what that is, any
body in Lancashire. canl_ tell you; and if you be not in Lan-
cashire, I can : it is laudanum or opium disguised in treacle,
and termed, in other places, " Godfrey's Cordidl." It is in
vain to remonstrate with the poor on this practice—they
always ask you what they are to do, and think it unanswer-
able to add, " A peu'oth of peace is worth a penny." Thus
are the constitutions of the poor sapped and stupefied even
in the cradle, and all the wisdom of England cannot point out
any remedy, but that of taking off the violent pressure on the
means of existence.—Howitt in Tait's Edinburgh zine. Is it possible that a man of Mr. Howitt's information
can never yet have heard of the far-famed Manchester medi-
cine ? " What that is, any man in Lancashire can tell him,"
and, indeed, we believe, in ar of the United Kingdom.
For it is an indisputable facan t, that, t since the commencement
of the present year, its sale (extensive as it has been for the
last half century) has increased beyond all former precedent.
It were almost superfluous to add, that we allude to that
nice and inestimable preparation, ATKINSON'S INFANTS'
PRPRESERVATIVE, which so far from " sapping the constitu-
tion," and " stupefying " the senses—like those dangerous
compounds, whose basis is laudanum or other opiates—allays
irritation, and assuages pain in the mildest and most innox-
ions manner ; thus affording rea4comfort, both to the anxious
mother and her suffering babe.
