n a gentleman who went a passenger on board the
Australia, which sailed hence for Melbourne in May last ;
and persons having friends and relatives on board that
ship will be glad to learn that she arrived safely at her
destination in August, after a pleasant and favourable

children had died on the passage, but this loss had been
compensated for by the birth of five others.

meeting of this board, held on Wednesday, the Rev. Wm.
Badnall in the chair, the board refused to send a deputa-
tion to a meeting, intended to be held at Manchester, to
oppose the recent prohibitory order of the Poor Law Board.
It was considered that, as the obnoxious order had been
modified, the proposed meeting was unnecessary. A let-
ter was read relative to the County Rates Expenditure
Bill, stating that the bill was again to be introduced before
Parliament under more favourable circumstances, and
soliciting the co-operation of the board. The clerk was
directed to send a copy of the letter to the overseers.

DETECTION OF A THIEF THROUGH THE AGENCY OF A
PAWNBROKER.—Georgiana Maxwell was committed for
trial on Thursday, for stealing a watch from Robert Adam-
son, a warehouse porter, residing in Brunswick-place,
Upper Mann-street. On the day before, between one and
two o'clock, the prosecutor had taken the prisoner and
another woman into Marsden's public-house, Dickenson-
street, to treat them. Whilst there he fell asleep, and
when he awoke, the women were gone, and also his watch.
At a quarter before two o'clock that day, the police-officer
on duty in St. James's-street (699), was called by Mr.
Lyon Healing, pawnbroker, who pointed out the prisoner
in the street, and stated that she had just been offering to
him in pledge a watcl,, of which'she could give'no satisfac-
tory account, The officer followed her and took her into
custody, and hence the committal to trial.

TIRES.—About six to'cloelc on Saturday evening, a 'fire

the engines arrived, it was extinguished, being confined to
an out-building.—About ten o'clock on Sunday evening, a
fire broke out in the prenaiaes of Mr. Devlin, provision
dealer, New Bird-street. Considdrable damage vv.e done
before it was extinguished.—Yesterday(Monday) morning,
at half-past one, it was discovered that the smithy be-
longing to Mr. Linford, wheelwright, Park-lane, was on
fire ; but before the force of lir. Hewitt or that of the
West of England company were on the ground, it was
subdued by the neighbours. The damage is estimated at
£2O, which is covered by an insurance in the *West of
England office.

ST. PHILIP'S'CHURCH SUNDAY AND DAY SCHOOLS.--
It will be in the recollection of the majority of our readers,
that at this time last year, through the exertions of the
incumbent of the district of St. Philip's, and a few of his
friends, a spacious and modernly built chapel was pur-
chased and adapted for school% capable of accommodating
between three and four hundred children. These schools
have now been in full operation for nearly twelve months.;
upwards of two hundred, children are daily receiving a
sound religious education:; •and there is every reason to
believe that these ably and well conducted schools have
been, and will, under the divine blessing, continue to be a
great advantage to the populous locality in which they
are placed. 'We understand that a considerable debt still
remains upon the school-house, but which, we doubt not,
from what has already been done, will soon be liquidated.
From a notice which the subscribers and friends of these
schools have received, we learn that the children are to
have their annual tea party this evening. It is always
gratifying to see the joyous countenances and the happi-
ness of the children on these festive occasions ; and doubt-
less many friends of these schools will avail themselves of
the present opportunity of witnessing's° pleasing a scene.

A PRIMITIVE SYSTEM OF KEEPING ACCOUNTS.—III
the course of a claim for seaman's wages, heard before
Mr. Mansfield on Thursday, the following little incident
of ingenuity surmounting the deficiency of education,
occurred :—The claimant was a good-natured-looking
Irish lad, who gave his name as Paddy Frier; and the
defendant, the master of the ship, was William Lawrie.
After the right of claim had been disposed of, the captain
urged that an amount of 17s. 10d. had been paid on
account, and ''handed in particulars.—Mr. Garnet, the
clerk, asked the claimant could he read and write ?—He
said, " No ; but that he had put down what had been paid
to him," and handed to the court the following " bill of

account"

stand for pennies." (Loud laughter.) The account, as
will be seen, was correct,—ln answer to a question from
one of the reporters, Frier said that he had no distinctive
nark for a pound, and expressed thanks for the sign £
#ed to him. exclaiming, with great pleasure,

DOCK COMMITTEE.—The weekly meeting was held ,on
Thursday, C. Turner, Esq., M.P., in-the chair. On the
intimation of the chairman, that a letter had been received
from Messrs. Baker and Son, competitors in the contract
for the work required at the Wapping Dock, complaining
that the contract had. not been given to one of the com-
petitors, it was ordered that, to avoid discussion on a
matter already decided by the board, the•letter should not
be read.—A recommendation from the sub-committee for
warehouse arrangement, that £B,OOO be transferred from
the bank account of the Albert Dock to the general
account for the half year, having been agreed to ; Mr.
Langsdale mentioned a ease in connexion with the Albert
Dock warehouses, where a man named Cain had been
summarily suspended by his superior officer Ayres, and
he asked if the officer had authority to do anything of the
kind ? Mr. Robinson replied, that if undue authority
had been exercised, redress could be obtained by going
before the committee.--In reference to the proposed plan
for n

refuge at the Ormshead, the Marine Com-
mittee reported that the matter did not come within the
province of the dock trust.—A report was read showing
the valuable services rendered by the life-boats during the
late gales.—lt was resolved that no alteration be made at
the entrance of ;Salisbury Doek.—A letter from :Lieut.
Arnott, respecting an alleged encroachment on the dock
estate, by the erection of the north battery, was read, and
referred to the surveyor.

SELECT VESTRY.--The Rev. Rector Campbell presided
at the fortnightly meeting of this body on Tuesday, when
a long letter was read from Mr. Rees, the district auditor,
xelative to the practice of the overseers' abating the rate
-of any occupier whose -name is in the rate-book, upon the
-ground of his quitting his holding in the course of the
period for the expenditure of which the rate is laid. Mr.
Itees considered such abatements illegal, and concludes
his -letter as follows :—" I leave to -point out to you, what
I am sure will already have suggested itself to you,
namely, that my duty is to urge within my border, com-
pliance with the law, and to see that the columns in the
rate-book, which are set apart for ' excused' and other-
wise irrecoverable' rates, do not contain abatements of
the kind referred to. I. would also state that my main
object in writing is, that I may be saved the most dis-
agreeable of the duties which the law has imposed upon
me, the surcharging those who are responsible for the
due collection of the rate. I need not inform you that
the making and collecting of the rate rests with the
churchwardens and overseers, and not with the Select
Vestry." No discussion took place on the subject, as it
was stated that the churchwardens and overseers were
prepared to consider it.—There were reported to be 572
sick cases in the workhouse. The number of admissions
to the vagrant sheds last week had been 985.—The go-
vernor reported that the total number of-inmates in the
workhouse on the 22d instant was 2,060.—0 n the motion
of Mr. Wm. Earle, it was agreed that the large dining-
hall should be lighted by " sun-burners," with Day's
patent windguard, by which a powerful light and ample
ventilation were secured.—On the motion of Mr. Fair-
hurst, it was unanimously agreed that the six medical dis-
tricts should be reduced to three, and that three medical
officers should devote the whole of their time to the duties
of those districts. After a lengthy discussion relative to
the appointment of a medical officer to No. 1 and No. 3
district, it was resolved that a medical officer be now ap-
pointed at a salary of £2OO a year, subject to dismissal at
three months notice ; it being understood that if he
were efficient, and if the vaccination fees did not make
the salary near £3OO, they might, in six months' time,
reconsider the subject of salary.—The business concluded
with a discussion relative to the parish surveyorship,
7thicit led to no result,

THE POLICE.—In consequence of the disclosures made
in a recent police case, special instructions have been is-
sued to the body by the head constable, under the
authority of the Watch Committee. Captain Greig
particularly urges the practice of forbearance by officers
to persons whom they may have in charge ; and intimates
that any improper use of the stick will be followed by in-
stant dismissal. The practice of sobriety, too, is strongly

urged upon the men. .The inspectors, who are reminded
that very much depends upon them, are exhorted that

they should, particularly in the case of inexperienced me
make themselves acquainted with their characters and

dispositions, conversing with them, and instructing them
in the nature of their duty. It is emphatically stated,
too, that it is the duty of all police-constables who may
witness any ill-treatment committed by any of their less
discreet comrades upon any person, to at once remon-
strate, in order to prevent it, and report the same to their
superior officer.

DARING

HOUSE ROBE

MY.-CAUTION TO SERVANTS

GRATIFYING TRIBUTE OF RESPECT BY WORKMEN.—
On Thursday evening, Mr. H. V. Dobson, foreman of
the " fitters" in the employment of the Liverpool United
Gaslight Company, was presented by the men under his
guidance with a testimonial of their esteem. The testi-
monial consisted of a very elegant and valuable silver lever
watch, bearing on
_the inner case the following inscrip-

tion :—'

." Presented by the 6i-en of the Liverpool Gas

Company. as a token of their esteem, to their foreman,
Mr. H. V. Dobson. Dec. 30, 1852." The presentation
took place at the house of Mrs. Parkinson, the Welcome
Inn, Fairclough-lane. An excellent supper, to which 28
sat down, was served up on the occasion.

HEALTH COMMITTEE.—At the weekly meeting held on
Thursday, Mr. Langsdale in the chair, the medical

officer reported that the deaths in the borough and extra-
parochial wards during the past week were 166, being a
decrease of seven on the mortality of the previous week.
On the suggestion of Mr. C. E. Rawlins, it was ordered

that an experiment should be made to test the merits of
a new deodoriser for removing the nuisance occasioned by
manure deposits. In reference to an article which ap-
peared in the Liverpool Journal of Saturday week, Mr.

Moss contradicted the statement that the hical taxation
would be increasei by the removal of the manure out of
the borough ; and, Mr. Gladstone remarked, that the de-
sire of the committee was to exercise a judicious economy
rather than rush into an unnecessary expenditure. After
some conversation, it was agreed that the request of the
Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Company for permis-
sion to cross certain streets near the southern docks,
should be referred to the borough engineer to make the
necessaries enquiries, and report to the next meeting.
SHOCKING MURDER AND SUICIDE AT MANCHESTER.
—A horrible tragedy was on Thursday last perpetrated in'
Manchester. A man, named James Rowe, in the em-
ployment of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Com-
pany, having murdered his son John, a boy only seven
years of age, by cutting his throat with a razor, after-
wards committed suicide by walking deliberately to the
railway and laying his head across the rails in front of an
approaching express train which was proceeding down the
incline into Manchester, from Leeds. From the evidence
given at an inquest held upon the bodies on the same
evening, it appeared that Rowe had for some time past
exhibited symptoms of derangement, the consequence, it
is supposed, of injuries received upon the head in his em-
ployment as a waggon-sheet maker ; and he had been
frequently heard by his wife to say that when he died, the
child (which was his favourite) should die the same day.
On Wednesday night he was writing, and his wile, think-
ing his mind not fitted for study, destroyed his papers ;
_ _

. .
and on the same night he had said he thought of destroy-
ing himself and two of his children. He had manifested
nothing unusual in his conduct before going out on Thurs-
day morning, and took leave of his wife by saying, " God
bless you," as was his usual custom. At the moment
when his wife was informed of the suicide one of her
children came to her to say that its brother was bleeding,
and this was the first intimation she had of the murder.

He was never in the house after going out to his work in the
morning, so that he must have killed the boy before he
left the house. When he went to the railway for the
purpose of committing suicide, he was not observed by the
driver of the express engine until the train was within
about twenty yards from him, when it was too late to stop
in sufficient time to prevent his being run over. After
the train had passed over him, the body was found lying
across one of the rails, with the face downwards. The
wheels had gone over his shoulder blades, severing the
head and shoulders entirely from the body. In his pocket
was found a razor stained with blond. The jury returned
a verdict to the effect that John Rowe was murdered by
James Rowe, and that the latter, while in a state of in-
sanity, committed suicide.

TRANSATLANTIC STEAM-SHIPS : SAILING OF THE
ARABIA.—On Saturday about noon, the new steam-ship,
Arabia, belonging to the Cunard line of mail steamers be-
tween this port and America, left Liverpool, under the
command of Commodore Judkins, on her first voyage to
New York. She took out about fifty passengers, the
usual mails, 1,200 tons of coal, and one of the largest and
most valuable cargoes ever despatched from this port.
She presented a noble appearance, and elicited much ad-
miration from the numerous persons assembled to witness
her departure. Among the many visitors who went on
board previously to her steaming out of the river was the
Earl of Sefton, who expressed himself much pleased with
her magnificent appearance. Amongst the passengers were
Sir Allan Macnab, of Canada, and the Swedish charge'
d'afaires to Washington. and lady. Much interest is

attached to the performance of the voyage by this splen-
did ship. It is confidently expected that if she is favoured
with good winds she will cross the Atlantic in a shorter
space of time than any of her predecessors, rapid as
have been the performances of some of both the Cunard
and the Collins line. We have reason to believe that
several wagers are depending upon the passage. The
wonderful trip of the Arabia from Greenock to Liverpool
fully justifies the confidence which seems to be reposed in
her great powers of speed. A second trial trip, on Tues-
day last, only tended to confirm that confidence. The
crowded state of the river rendered a short trip necessary,
but it was so satisfactory that the vessel's sailing over a
thousand miles would not have given more gratification
to the owners. The engines worked with the greatest
ease and facility, and there was an absence of that dis-
agreeable Motion usually felt on board nearly all paddle
steamers. Several gentlemen were in the vessel during
her trip, and dined on board. The chair was taken by
Captain Judkins, and the vice-chair by Charles Myer,
Esq., and during the progress of the dinner one or two
toasts were drunk. It may be stated that amongst the
toasts, James Holme, Esq., proposed " Prosperity to the
Arabia, and success to her commander ;" and the health
of the Mayor and Town Council was also proposed by
Mr. Fowler, and cordially responded to by the gentlemen
present. The company are now building a new boat, the
Persia, which is to be constructed of iron, and is to be 50
feet longer than the Arabia, with proportionate power,
and lines calculated to attain an accelerated speed.
TOWN COUNCIL.—A meeting of the Council will be

held to-morrow (Wednesday), when the following sub-
jects will be taken into consideration :—The proceedings
of the Finance Committee, comprising recommendation
to appoint a clerk in the Magistrates'-clerk's-office in the
room of Mr. Sigston, resigned, at the same salary of £75
per annum, the consideration of which was postponed at
the last monthly Council, pursuant to standing orders ;
recommendation to adopt the following resolution :
" That all weights and measures which have been once
stamped within the borough of Liverpool shall not at any
future periodle charged for adjusting, where adjusting is
required, any price exceeding the fees charged for stamp- ,
lug, as set forth in the schedule appended to the act of
Parliament, sth and 6th William IV., cap.. 63, provided
that if materials exceeding half-a-pound in weight are
required for the correct adjustment of any weight, the
charges at present made shall continue as to any such
weight ;" report of the probable income and expenditure
of the Corporation for the year commencing the Ist Sep-
tember last, and ending the 31st August next; recom-
mendation to grant a sum to each of the townships within
the borough, equal to the amount of Watch-rate, payable
'by such townships respectively ; and a recommendation
for payment of the usual gratuities to public charities.
The proceedings, resolutions, and reports of the Watch,
Lighting, 'Fire-Police, and Fire Prevention Committees,
comprising a recommendation to increase the salary of
Mr. 'James Cooper, surgeon to the police force, from
£llO to £l3O per annum.; the proceedings of the Dock
Committee ; the appointment, of a member of the Council
to be a member of the Committee for the Affairs of the
Estate of the Trustees of the Liverpool Docks, to supply
the vacancy caused by the resignation of Mr. Alderman
Dover. The following motion, of which notice has been
given by Mr. Alderman Parker :—" To rescind so much
of a resolution of the Council of the 6th October last as
confirms a resolution of the'Wetch Committee of the 2d
October last, recommending the erection of four additional
bridewells, with residences for inspectors ; namely, one
in the north and one in the south divisions, ono at Low-
hill, and one in Crown-street, at a cost not exceeding
£6,500, exclusive of the cost of land, and in which sum
-is included the sum of £3,500, the expenditure whereof
was approved by the Council on -the 2d August, '1848;
and to move that it be an instruction to the Watch Com-
mittee not to proceed with the erection of any new bride-
well except one in Olive-street."

-THE LONDON-AND NORTRWESTRILN COMPANY IN THE
POLICE•COURT.—On Friday last, amongst the publicans
summoned before the magistrates for infringement of their
licences, a charge was preferred against Mr. H. Booth, the
manager at the Lime-street station in this town. Police-
officer Huddlestone deposed that the defendant kept the
refreshment-rooms at the Lime-street railway station.
At a quarter before ten o'clock on Sunday morning he
went down the steps leading to the room, and looked in
at the tap. He saw two men standing, and on the counter
two glasses of ale. " I went," said the officer, "as if
going out, and six men went in. There were two railway
porters, arid in the hand of each was a glass of rum, and ,
the barmaid was in the act of making out another glass of
rum. The-barmaid, on seeing me, said,' I'know you ; you
are Carlisle. The two men were in uniform, and are at
Lime-street station."—lir. Blenkinsop, solicitor to the
railway company, said that at Christmas time it was cus-
tomary for the conductress of the room to give the porters
a Christmas-box ; and he would prove that most of the
other porters had had theirs, with the exception -of these
two men, and the barmaid would establish that she had
told them if they would.come.she would give them each a
glass of rum. It had been ordered, by the directors, that
-no one should be served with liquor without producing
their tickets ; and, at great inconvenience, this practice
had been kept up. These porters had gone down, and
had got the rum, but there was no money paid, nor
no intention of paying any.—M4Grane, who had accom-
panied Huddlestone, stated that the porter 699 called for
two glasses of rum, and put down a shilling to pay for
them.; the mistress served them, and took up the shil-
ling. Four other men had come in, and she asked what
they wanted, and one said, a glass of rum. Two glasses of
ale and two glasses of rum were served, Ann Page was
sworn.—ln evidence she said, " I am a barmaid at Ker-
shaw's. This man (porter 699) came on the evening
before Christmas-day, and asked for his Christmas-box.
He and his companion were on duty from half-past three.
They came down and said they would each have a glass of
rum. I was in the act of serving them, when one of the
men (the officers) came down. * * * * None of the men
gave me money to pay for the drink. One of the two men
sitting at the fire had had breakfast, and not a drop of
liquor was touched.—Porter No. 699 (M'George) stated,
that he neither paid nor offered any money. He had
neither a shilling nor any current. coin with him.—Mr.
Blenkinsop said, the company had opened the place purely
for public accommodation, for as to gain they had bettter
shut it up. But to people coming from the steam-boats,
and to passengers waiting for trains, it was certainly a
great accommodation.—Mr. Mansfield : " It appears to
me to be as glaring a case of Sunday trading as possible.
By the evidence of M'Grain, which I fully believe, a
shilling was tendered, and I believe also, that beer was
sold. You say it is for the convenience of the public.
To a certain extent it is. I shall inflict the heaviest fine
which the law allows. The defence is not creditable.
The licensed victuallers in that neighbourhood complain
greatly of the injury done to their business by this house;
and, whatever the inconvenience may be, I wish the rail-
way company to be fully aware that, for infringing the
law, their license will be taken away just the same as that
of the humblest publican in the town. There must bo a
fine of £5 and costs."--Mr. Blenkinsop said he would
communicate with the company upon the desirability of
closing the place,—Mr, Mansfield said it would be well 0
do so.

FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Monday last week, a fatal
accident occurred at Tattersball station, near Lincoln,
during the hurricane. Three men were at work in the
engine shed, opposite the workshops, when, suddenly, the
shed was blown to the ground and the three men buried
in the ruins. Two of them escaped without injury ; the
third was killed on the spot.
THE LAUDER MURDER.—Williams, who is at present
in Greenlaw Gaol, charged with the murder near Lauder,
was discovered attempting suicide on Saturday. He had

his towel, handkerchief,-and neckerchief tied together,
and the end fastened to the bars of his cell window,
which le some height from the ground, when his opera-
tions were discovered from without.

A GANG OF HIGHWAYMEN infest the neighbourhood
of Penrith, and have lately made several attacks. Mr.
Bankes, an old soldier, got off by using "cut six," and
pressing his horse so hard, that be escaped minus a coat
cape. The Rev. Mr. Rayson also escaped by putting
spurs to his horse, the robbers being obliged to content
themselves withshout ing and calling "abominable names."
ALARMING ACCIDENT. —On Friday the skeleton
_

rafters for the new iron roof of the passenger station at
the Junction Railway, Arbroath, extending about 100
feet, fell with a tremendous crash. The individuals at
the station escaped, but Mr. Allan, the station master,
was struck on the head by one of the rafters, and severely
injured. One of the wooden sheds was completely
smashed.
THE WEATHER ASTRONOMERS.—M. Arago, the cele-
brated French astronomer, has just published a declaration
which some English almanack makers would do well to
take a note of. He protests that be never authorised one
of the many predictions which have been imputed to him,
and declares that never, be the progress of science what it
may, will learned men that are honest and careful of their
reputation hazard it by predicting the weather.

OVERLOADING OMNIBUSES.—At the York Assize,
Samuel Morrell, the driver of the omnibus from the
Asthington station of the Leeds Northern Railway, to
Ilkley, which was upset with 14 passengers inside and 33
out, was tried for the manslaughter of Mrs. Firth, who
subsequently died from the injuries received. It was
proved that the station-master superintended the loading
of the omnibus, and Morrell was thereupon acquitted.

SUICIDE.—On Saturday, the body of John William
Tate, gardener, Shore, near Littleborough, was found in
a field near his residence. He had a gun between his
legs, and the contents appeared to have gone through his
neck. The sum of £5 6s. 6d., and a quantity of powder,
shot, and caps, were found on him, together with the
following note:—"l hope my friends will let the doctors
open me, and then my friends will know what I have
been labouring under."

SUDDEN DEATH.—An awful instance of sudden death
occurred on Monday in the booking-office of the South
Wales Railway. Harry Fussell, a horse dealer, of Bristol,
finding himself rather behind time, ran to the station, and
having asked for his ticket, was in the act of paying for it,
when he suddenly fell to the ground, and almost imme-
diately expired. He was afflicted with a disease of the
heart, and from the excitement caused by his running to
meet the train his death ensued.
FRENCH INVASION OF ENGLAND.—A letter from Rome,
dated December 2, says :—" The French garrison, now
accustomed to move by sea, talk of the facility of landing
three divisions of 30,000 each on the coasts of England,
and paying a visit to the Bank. The whole conversation
at the cafes by the officers is their fear that, while they are
protecting the priests, others will have the glory and the
spoil. This may make you laugh, but it is the animus
of the French army, and I hope your preparations are not
neglected at home."

RELIGIOUS TRACT SOCIETY.—The thirty-third annual
meeting of the auxiliary branch of this society for the
Leicester-square district, London, was held on Tuesday,
and the chair was occupied by J. Payne, Esq., who intro-
duced the proceedings in his usual quaint style, saying
that the Religious Tract Society had a character and effect
in accordance with the initials of its title, "R. T. S." It
rested on the truth of the scripture, refuted the tales of
superstition, rebuked the tongue of the scorner, relieved
the troubles of the sorrowful, recommended temperance
and sobriety, and reformed the tone of society.

COLONEL SIBTHORP AND HIS CONSTITUENTS.—COI.
.Sibthorp has addressed the following letter to his consti-
tuents :—" Gentlemen, whatever may be your individual
opinions of the budget introduced for the consideration of
the legislative body of the House of Commons—opinions
Lin every way respect ; whatever have been the feelings I
entertained, and which I endeavoured briefly to express,
with regard to that budget-1 allude more particularly to
theproposed house-tax, as well as to the proposed income-
tax, neither of which did I approve of, and in the course
of discussion and power of alteration (sic) or entire rejec-
tion, I should have endeavoured to have acted throughout
as I trust I ought to have done ; I did consider it my
bounden duty to oppose the machinations of an heteroge-
neous phalanx, packed together to gratify party purposes,
and by my humble, yet I hope independent and honest,
vote to assist in rescuing a Ministry just formed, and as
yet untried, from that conspiracy, clandestinely contrived,
and, unfortunately for this great country, so far carried
into effect."
HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS, AN INFALLIBLE
REMEDY FOR TUMOURS, SWELLINGS, AND CONTRACTED
.10INTS.—Ann Carter, housemaid, residing with a family
in Burton-crescent, London, had an immense tumour in
her right knee, which increased to such a size that she
could not bend the joint, and was in consequence obliged
to leave her situation. Her medical attendant informed
her that there was no chance of cure, and it would
be necessary to amputate the limb. This opinion not
satisfying her, she commenced using Holloway's Oint-
ment and Pills, and by God's blessing they have been the
means of effecting a perfect cure, and she has resumed her
former situation. _

FATAL COALPIT ACCIDENT.—A fatal accident occurred
at Wishaw, on Saturday week, at Mr. John Watson's
coalpit, by which two men were killed on the spot. A
boy on the pit-head was in the act of putting an empty
hutch on the cage, as he thought, but be put it on the
wrong side, the cage of that side being at the bottom of
the pit, with three men upon it ready to come up. One
man heard the hutch coming tumbling down the shaft,

TRADES UNIONS..—A. strong instance of the intolerance
of trades' unionists occurred at Sheffield last week. There
is a large building called the Tower-wheel, which is a sort
of fortification, and is occupied by non-unionists. On
Aionday night some person gained admission, and deposited
a large quantity of gunpowder in a trough attached to a
grinder'i glazing apparatus. Next day, when a grinder,
named Henry Jackson, was using the glazer, some sparks
fell into the trough and exploded the powder. Jackson
was precipitated with great force across the room, and he
is a good deal burnt and bruised. The miscreant has not
been discovered.
PERNICIOUS LITERATURE

—The circulation of perni-
cious publications is immense. In 1845 it was calculated
from London alone there was a yearly circulation of
stamped and unstamped newspapers and serials, of a
decidedly pernicious character, to the extent of 28,862,000!
During the last five years, while cheap religious periodicals
have made limited progress, either in numbers or interest,
the corrupt printing press has been unceasingly at work.
The present circulation in London of immoral unstamped
publications of a halfpenny to three-halfpence each, must
be upwards of 400,000 weekly, which would give the
enormous issue of 20,800,000.

LANDSLIP ON THE SOUTH DEVON RAILWAY.—A most
tremendous fall of cliff took place on Wednesday on this
line, between Dawlish and Teignmouth. On the forma-
tion of the line a portion of Langstone-cliff was cut off,
and its base being undermined by the action of the water,
great fears were entertained for its safety. The recent
heavy rain and hurricanes increased the danger, and men
were stationed at various points to give notice immedi-
ately anything occurred. The necessity for such a course
was first experienced on Sunday, when a portion of the
cliff fell down near Holcombe tunnel. The 8 2 a.m. down
train had just left Dawlish, but, by the promptness of the
look-out, it was stopped in time, or there
fearful crash. A lar

)uld have b,

ge body of men

was soon obtained, and the line was cleared in time for
the 12 7up train. On Wednesday, however, there was a
terrific fall of cliff; at about half-past one o'clock several
tons of Longstone-cliff fell with a tremendous crash, co-
vering the line for some distance, and rendering all traffic
impossible. The passengers by all the trains were obliged
to be conveyed from Dewlish to Teignmouth, and vice
rersii, in cabs, omnibuses, and every other description of
vehicle which the company could obtain. The telegraphic
wires were broken, and all communication with the sta-
tions below was thus, for the time, prevented. It is sup-
posed that the storm on Sunday night hastened the de-
molition of the cliff, as it visited the neighbourhood with
great severity, stones weighing half a cwt. each being
carried up into Teignmouth by the force of the waves.

TAX ON STEAM ENGINES.—If any chancellor of the
exchequer wants to know how he may apply the principle
of direct taxation, without undergoing all the odium of
the ten-pound householders, we give him a hint—tax all
steam-engines at a fixed rate per horse-power. Not any
tax can be more defensible in principle. The active work-
ing horse-power of the steam-engine represents actual
work done—work done without the consumption of tax
paying articles. The engine consumes no beer, wine,
spirits, tea, tobacco, hay, corn, meat, clothing, &c. ; it is
made of iron, untaxed •, it consumes coal, untaxed. Why
should Peter Brown, the butcher, pay yearly for the horse,
which he uses in his trade, £l. Bs. 9d. and Mr. John
Bright, of Rochdale, pay not one farthing on all the
horse-power that moves his factories ? Let all carriers,
who pay taxes, ask—Why tax us, and not the horse-power
of the steam-engine, that, on a railway, drags along hun-
dreds of tons of goods and merchandise ? Let all brewers,
bakers, tavern-keepers, and the hundreds of other trades-
men, now paying horse duty, ask their very particular
friends, the free-trade members of Parliament,—Why tax
us for horse-power, necessary for the conducting of our
business, and leave the working horse-power of every
steam-engine untaxed ? We know the objection : to tax
the horse-power of the steam.engine would increase the
cost of production. The same objection is applicable to
all taxes paid ; and, if admitted as valid, would warrant
the total abolition of all taxes. It is generally confessed
that any scheme of direct taxation, based on exemptions,
is " confiscation ;" those who think so will do well to re-
member that to tax Peter Brown, the butcher, for his one
horse, £l. Bs. 9d., and to leave Mr, Bright's iron horses
untaxed, is not only " confiscation ;" it is also oppression,
and that, too, of the worst kind—the oppression of the
comparatively poor man, for the benefit of the really rich
man. The free-trade manufacturers of Manchester have,
by their measures, forced a more general adoption of
direct taxation. It is but fair, then, that they should pay
their just proportion of taxation, and that they cannot do,
so long as the horse of the butcher is taxed, and the horse-
power of the engine is untaxed.—Richard °ostler.

mained unpurchased at eight o'clock were disposed of by
auction.

SEVERE STORMS IN NORTH WALES.—The violent gales
which have been so prevalent in most parts of the king-
dom have been severely felt in many parts of North
Wales. In the neighbourhoods of Ruthin and Denbigh
the country is one mass of water, the high winds being
accompanied by heavy and almost incessant rains. The
beautiful vale of Clwyd is so inundated as to resemble a
large lake ; and in the vicinity of Holywell the depth of
water is such that not only boats but large vessels might
sail upon its surface. A most terrific gale has been ex-
perienced at Carnarvon. The force of the tide was such
that the massive wall which forms the quay was forced
down in five places, huge stones being scattered in all
directions, and the spray dashing furiously up to the walls
of the ancient castle. Many houses were partially un-
roofed, and windows in some instances were blown in.
The landing-stage of the pier was detached from its posi-
tion, and now floats like a raft on the Menai. A vessel of
900 tons' burthen, the Onward, from Liverpool for New
Orleans, in ballast, has been driven ashore off the bar,
her sails being blown to atoms. On Tuesday, the weather
had somewhat moderated, but on Wednesday it was blow-
ing strongly, accompanied by heavy rain.

BUILDING SOCIETY.—We noticed some
weeks since the establishment of a building rociety in Bir-
kenhead, and the sudden rivalry with which it had been
met by the attempt to form two other societies of almost
a similar character, one of them indeed being identical in
plan, and the other upon the permanent system. The
original society has, however, maintained its ground, and
having received the support of many of the most influen-
tial inhabitants of the neighbourhood, bids fair to become
a valuable means of aiding in the improvement of the
place. Owing to the rivalry before mentioned, it has
attained the distinctive appellation of the Birkenhead and
Wallasey Benefit Building Society, having received a con-
siderable amount of support from the latter place. It has
already announced it first public meeting for the payment
of subscriptions for to-morrow, (Wednesday,) at the
Castle Hotel, and it is confidently hoped that, now the
first step has been taken to bring these valuable institu-
tions into active operation, the town will experience a re-
vival from that dulness into which, from a reaction from
previous over-speculation, it has so long been plunged.
There are, however, other signs of improvement in the

gradual letting of houses, and-the increase of inhabitants
s shown in the additional receipts at the seyeral ferries.

A VISIT TO THE BATHS OF SIOUT.—We went to the
baths to be sweated, and scraped, and rubbed, and lathered,
and soused, in company with the respectabilities of Siout,
brown-skinned, hairy, pot-bellied gentlemen, who sub-
mitted to the operation with a gravity and sedateness at
once admirable and ludicrous. Our presence perhaps put
them on stilts ; but it was evident that, as they lay like
porpoises about on the slushed benches, enjoying a gentle
titillation from the horny palm of the bath servant, or
submitting head, back, and breast to the cunning razor,
they felt what important people they were : citizens of a
place which possessed a real bath, with hararah, faskiyeh,
and, above all, a scalding Mekhtas, the summun bonum of
the Egyptian bather; for not all the race of Pharoah

preted, is Queen Liberty, to rule over them. A variety of
other interesting facts were buzzing about the uninhabited
regions of this shaver's head, but we could not stay to
hear all his stories. In the ante-chamber, whilst we
were being kneaded, as if for dough, by a coaxing lawin-
gee, an old gentleman, who had doubtless been soaking
for hours, came and sat down, wrapped in a sheet,
opposite to us, and looking with simple astonishment in
our faces. At length he murmured, " Where is the
country you come from ? where, where ? Where are the
ships that brought you ? where, where ? " We thought
he wanted to enter into conversation; but, on our
speaking he went on with his murmured soliloquy: "Fain
fain ; where, where ? " It was evident that be knew per-
fectly well ; but he bad been suddenly impressed with the
vast distance we must have travelled to come to that
place, and, when we left, he was still rocking himself to

and inquiring mood, "Where, where ? "—Village Life
