to forget that the earl is his brother

home. He say
not its unequalled might. Therefore, with all his power
he was weak : naught of what he wished came to pass, and
what he did with such fiery vehemence, with still more
startling swiftness was undone. His thoughts were not in
harmony with the counsels of God, and so they perished
with himself. The Emperor will have his conspicuous
place in history, but the man will not live in the minds of
men. For the most potent king of the earth, what is he,
if he be a false man ? That one so false could rule, is a

BLACKBERRY JELLY.—Blackberries, (which are now
in season), make a delicious jelly of finer flavour than
that of any other fruit. It is made in the same manner
as currant jelly.

THE EXPLOSION OF THE CRICKET.—At the adjourned
inquest on Tuesday, it was found that the accident was
caused by the engineer tying down the safety valves. The
inquiry was further adjourned.
On Thursday a fire broke out at Cwm Avon, near
Cardiff, which destroyed a great portion of the factories
of the Cwm Avon Works. The loss is variously calcu-
lated at from £6OOO to £7OOO.

Bees are said to have accumulated more honey this
season than for several years past. A hive was last week
taken by Mr. J. Carrador of Sawrey, and though it was
only swarmed on the 3rd of June last, yet it contained no
less than sixty-five pounds of remarkably fine honey.

It is now positively settled that the draughts of Prime,
Ward, an Co., on failed houses in this country, will all
be protected ; and it is believed that none yet remain to
come forward of any importance as regards amount, or
with respect to the protection of which there will be any
doubt.
DISTRESS FOR WANT OF RAlN.—Several thousand
persons at Merthyr, Rhymney, Dowlais, Tredegar, &c.,
are out of employ, in consequence of want of water for
the machinery. The same cause makes flour much dearer
than it would be if all the mills had a proper supply of
water.

It appears that even in the county of Northumberland
there are large stores of old grain. One extensive farmer
in Bamboroughshire has no less than 1,700 bolls of wheat
—another 700—and another 500, which might have been
sold at the rate of 120 s. a quarter in the month of May,
but which will now produce half that sum.
STEAM ON THE SEVERN.—An iron steamer, named
the Propeller, has been built at Bristol, and is intended
to ply between that port and Lydney and Newnham on
the Severn. She is a beautiful boat, drawing only three
feet of water, and on Monday week made a trial-trip be-
tween Bristol and Newnham in three hours.
A singular robbery was lately committed in London, by
an under butler, who absconded with a quantity of plate
that had been entrusted to him, and left in its stead pieces
of wood wrapped in bags, which resembled in appearance
the bags containing the plate, and caused the theft to
remain undiscovered fora short time.
A few days since, while some boys were amusing them-
selves in a field near West Bromwich, in Staffordshire, by
setting fire to trains of gunpowder, a spark communicated
with some powder contained in the pocket of one of them,
and he was so much injured by the explosion, that he
died within a few days.

FORGERY ON THE SHEFFIELD AND ROTHERHAM BANK.
—We hear that a forgery of the five pound notes of this
bank has been discovered. In the forged note, the entry,
date, and signatures are lithographed, instead of being
written. The forged notes that have been seen are all
dated Sheffield, the 30th July, 1847, Of this date, the
bank have only issued notes numbered 1 8001 to I 8400.
FALL OF A GRANARY AT LEITH.—On Sunday night
week, the front wall of a granary, situate in Lawrie-street,
Leith, suddenly fell into the street, throwing out about
200 tons weight of grain. The building was three stories
in height, and the floors were laden with grain to the
depth of about seven feet each, which appears to have
been the cause of the unfortunate occurrence.
DEATH FROM AN OVERDOSE OF LAUDANUM TO AL.
LEVIATE PAlN.—Wednesday a married woman, about
thirty-five, years old, named Mary Tolley, residing in
Medway-street, Horseferry-road, expired in the West-
minster Hospital, from taking an overdose of laudanum
to alleviate the pain she was suffering from an attack of
rheumatism in one of her arms.
DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.—On Thursday night, about nine
o'clock, a fire broke out upon the farm of Mr. Robert
Verrey, of Everson, near Ross. The outbuildings and
11 ricks of corn and hay were destroyed, occasioning a
loss of about £l,lOO, which, however, is partly covered by
an insurance of £6OO. The fire is supposed to have been
occasioned by an incendiary.
A TRIPLE SHOT.—The Inverness Courier states that
the Hon. P. Tolbot, while hunting for ptarmigan on Cur-
vullian-hill, Strathconnon, fired at and shot a blue hare.
On the instant that the gun was discharged, a covey of
ptarmigan was in the line of fire, and two of them fell
along with the hare. Such a feat, if tried to be done for
a bet, might take years to accomplish.
In pulling down the deanery at Lincoln, two very ancient
open fire-places and chimneys have been discovered, which
are conjectured to be part of the original building of Dean
Gravesend in 1254. Both are of wrought stone, with tiled
backs, and have been made for the burning of wood upon
the hearth ; and each chimney forms the half of a four-
sided pyramid, with the apex ending in the ceiling of the
rooms.
ALL ENGLAND V. YORKSHIRE.--The grand game be-
tween eleven celebrated cricketers representing " All
England" and sixteen Yorkshire players, which was com-
menced on the Victoria Cricket Ground, Woodhouse
Moor, Leeds, on Thursday, the 9th inst., was brought to
a close on Saturday evening. The state of the game on,

ing was, Yorkshire, first innings, 137 ; All England, first
innings, 186, with two wickets to be resumed on Saturday
morning, when the score for the All England party was
increased to 195. The Yorkshire players then took the
bats for the second innings, and scored 88 ; after which
their antagonists went in and won the game by eight
wickets to go down.
.A.I9THER CASE OF POISONING.—For several days the

magistrates of Tiverton and Mr. Leigh, the coroner, have
been engaged in investigating a charge of murder against
a young married woman, Ann Fisher, who is suspected of
being concerned in causing the death of her husband,
Richard Fisher, by administering to him a quantity of ar-
senic. The parties had only been married about three
months, and the prisoner had endeavoured to get posses-
sion of some savings of her husband, but was unable.
The deceased was well on the 27th ult., and asked the
parish clerk's advice about the documents the prisoner had
got possession of; the next morning the deceased was a
