VIVAT REGINA !

Statii,s STEANlEit.—Extract from the log book
.of the Lady
Douglas, arrived at Drogheda, from St: John, N.B. Sun-
day, 3a June, at four P.m., passed-a steamer, in lat. 49 44,- long.
18 42 W., steering west by. north, with her fore and aft sails set
—wind N. by E., blowing fresh; accompanied with raitt—painted
black, white funnel, two masts, quadruped figure-head : carried
the St. George Company's flag at her main, with two 'flags for
her ntimEters, WhiCh- we were not able to distinguish."—The
Sirius sailed from Cork on- 31st May, at five P.m..

A...FEMALE Sitit.ort.—A female sailor was detected on board
the Brunswick, of Sunderland, while on her passage to that
port from London. The men suspected, the stripling tO be a
girl; and the captain, On ascertain►ng'fr`dm his apprentice that
she was certainly a female, gave up to her use his state-robin,
•and,. on his arrival in Sunderland, she obtained a situation as
house-servant. She stated that she took to the se,a owing to
some domestic difference,' and intended to have followed the
profession of a sailor if she had not been discovered.,

PORTRAIT OF THE REV. FIELDING OULD.—We were yes-
terday favoured with a private view of. a very splendid Wig
length portrait of -this' gentleman, just finished by Mr: Midge.
The likeness is.adinirable. Every feature lives with expression;
and as a work of art, it is a very highly finished painting. We
hope to see-this portrait in the next exhibition of paintings, as-
one in every way worthy of a place there, from the public
character of the rev. gentleman of whom it is so excellent a
likeness and as highly creditable to the Skill of our local artists.
We understand that it is intended to take an engraving from it.:
We understand that it is the intention-of Mr. C. H. Thomp-
son, mtisic seller, LOndorf-road, to have his -establishment -most
splendidly illuminated With gas, to celebrate the approaching
coronation of our Youthful Queen.

FATAL ,ACCIDENT.—On .Tuesuay afternoon, about tour
o'plock, as seine workmen were employed in taking down- an
old building near the toporMoOrfieldS, the gable end next the
street suddehly gave way. BefOre they had time to escape the
wall fell and buried six of them in the ruins. -They were soon
taken ouS,,three of them seVerely hurt, and the others much
bruised: One of them,' we have been informed, died -.aeon
after he was extricated: The rest were carried to the Infirmary.

Tuesday night was a fine night. for The gala at these gardens,
And they were, as usual, crowded to witness the very splendid
scene-of the ereption of Vesuvius, in miniature Last evening
the eruption was repeated, the Weather in the whole tieing tine,
but showery. The gardens were again very well attended.
Bazaar, IN AIHOF THKIVIE,THODIsT SCHOOLS.—On Tuesday,
WednesdaY,;!..ent yasterdev, a-h.:ear-was-held in the Exhinitrun
Mims, Pr;st-Office Place, in aid of the Brunswick-street, Leeds-
street, and Jordan-street Methodist Schools. The ingenious
and delicate trifles with which our fair country women amuse
their leisure hours, were exhibited in tempting and almost end-
less profusion. The lovely sales-women exerted all.their per-
suasiveness to procure purchasers, and numerous were the in-
stances in which theyin reality did double execution—on the
hearts and pockets of the rash visitors who braved so over-
whelming an attack. We have heard that as much as £7OO.
have been obtained by this pleasing device to get money. .
Tog NEw Pooh LAW.—On Wednesday evening, at the
Queen's 'rheatre, a lecture was given by Mr. James Arland,
late of Hull. on the rise and progress of the various poor laws
since the time of the first Edward, up to the late act. ' After
whiCh he undertook "to maintain against all opponents" that
the New Pohr Law was an act " based on impartial justice and
benevolence," assuming the position that the Amendment Act
was a good law until proved to be otherwise. A long discussion
'then ensued, each speaker being allowed 15 minutes, and 15 being
given for a reply to the champion of this act of Mammon. The
result of the discussion was as might be expected. Indig-
nant invectives 'were hurled against the un-English practice
(for none such was 'ever known before in England .I—the un-
Christian practice of separating a man from his wife and fatuity,
for the crime of poverty—against this refinement of cruelty in
separating from him, perhaps, his last comforts on earth; and
against the principle, of the act which tended permanently to
pauperise poor men, by offering them the union workhouse as
the only' relief from starvation, instead of, as did the old act,
