Mr. and Mrs. Wood, the eminent vocalists, came passen-
gers in the George Washington, New York packet-ship.

A CONJUGAL SURPRISE.—A master of a ship, who has
been missing for upwards of two years from South Shields,
returned a few days ago, and on opening the door of his resi-
dence, his wife, who had for some time back, in utter despair
of ever seeing him, put on her mourning attire, was so struck
with astonishment as to have brought on a sudden illness,
which threatens to prove fatal.—Newcastle Chronicle.
THE LATE MELANCHOLY COLLISION.—The following,
whose names have not been before published, were amongst
the victims by this catastrophe :--James Holt, aged 35, block
printer, near Newchurch, Rossendale ; Mary Holt, his wife,
35, and four children ; Alice Barnes, 28, of Haslingden ;
Alice Cuncliffe, 28, of Longholme, near Haslingden.

The government have done themselves honour, and laid the
church under a deep obligation, by establishing a professor-
ship of biblical criticism in the University of Edinburgh, and
by nominating to the chair the Rev. Mr. Candlish. It is to
be endowed with the funds of a vacant deanery of the Chapel
Royal.—Scottish Guardian.

A mackerel boat came into Brighton on Sunday evening
with a cargo of upwards of 12,000 mackerel. They were
immediately purchased for the London market, by Mr.
Griffin, a fishmonger here. The lucky fisherman is John
Andrews, who, abtffit a month since, drew upwards of 15,000 !
The present cargo fetched upwards of £l5O.

The Master General of the Ordnance has given orders that
measures should be taken for carrying into effect the survey
of the six northern counties of England on the enlarged scale
of six inches to the mile ; which, as a considerable portion of
Manchester and Leeds had been surveyed on the smaller
scale, would render it necessary to re-survey these districts.
A CONSERVATIVE BEQUEST.—The late Mrs. Brand, of
the city of Durham, who died a few weeks ago, has left the
sum of £lOO to be divided amongst the survivors of the 409
freemen of the city of Durham who polled plumpers for Mrs.
Brand's brother (the tory candidate, and for many years the
member for the city of Durham), Mr. Richard Wharton, in
the year 1802, at which election Mr. Wharton defeated the
joint interest of Lambton and Taylor, having polled the un-
precedented number, in the city of Dnrham, of 409 plumpers,
which has since that time been a standing toast with the tory
freemen there at their convivial meetings, as " The glorious
Foar Hundred and Nine." Mrs. Brand restricts the legacy
to those freemen of the 409 who have invariably supported
the conservative interest since they polled for her brother.
Mr. Wharton, in 1802. No doubt the memory of Mrs.
Brand will be long held in remembrance in the city of Dur-
ham, in connection with the glorious 409.
