DEATH OF LADY ANSTRUTHER.—We have to announce
the death of the above lady, which took place at Brighton.
The deceased, who was a daughter of Mr. Charles Wetherall,
was born in 1807, and was married in 1824 to Sir Windham
Carmichael Austruther, Bart., of Elie House, Fifeshire, by
whom her ladyship leaves a family.

The Earl of Belmore died on Sunday at Leamington Spa•
His lordship, who was in his 67th year, was an Irish peer,
and one of the representatives of the Irish peerage in the
House of Lords. He was also Custos Rotulorum of the
county of Tyrone, for which place his second son, the Hon.
H. Corry, sits in parliament.

The wife of the chief assistant at one of the first perfumers
of Paris was some time ago detected stealing a piece of stuff
from the warehouse of the Pauvre Diable, in the rue Mon-
tesquieu, and on her apartment being searched, various other
stolen goods were found. The husband, though perfectly
innocent of any participation in or knowledge of these rob-
beries, felt the disgrace brought upon him so keenly, that
on Saturday morning he went to the river side and shot him-
self, falling at the same moment into the water, whence he
was taken out—a disfigured corpse.

SHIPWRECK AND Loss OF LlFE.—lntellig-ence has been
received from the island of Tyree, that the brig Majestic.
Captain Tait, from London for Londonderry, to embark
emigrants for America, was totally wrecked at Tyree, on the
evening of Friday, the 2d instant. Early that day she was
struck by a heavy sea off Skerryvore rock, which instantly
carried away part of her sails, bulwarks, boats, &c., and laid
the vessel on her beam-ends. Melancholy to relate, the
captain and three of his crew were washed overboard, and un-
fortunately perished, one tremendous wave having for ever
hid them from human aid or view. The mate and the re-
mainder of the crew escaped the sad fate of their companions,
having been saved by the boats that went to the brig's as-
sistance.

MURDER AS A HELP TO MEMORY.--On a trial at Cam-
bridge, relative to the liability of the inhabitants of Dodding-
ton to repair a highway, a question occupied the court for five

days—

whether the road

referred to was a public high-
way or not. No amusing incident occurred to relieve the
tedium of the cause, yet the interest was such, that during
every portion of it the court and all the avenues leading to it
were crowded with persons anxious to hear the details of a
case so singular and of such vast importance in the fen dis-
tricts, where many hundred miles of similar roads, there
called '` droves," exist. Several of the old witnesses dated
from an event which, in their younger days, seems to have
caused universal interest, " the year Solomon Tuck was
hanged" (which was sixty years since), was their common
form of expression. This Solomon seems to have murdered
his wife and children under circumstances of no common
atrocity.

FOUR CHILDREN LOCKED UP IN SHOREDITCH CHURCH.
—These little ones were sent out for a walk on the afternoon
of Friday week, when, finding the above doors open, they
walked in, and witnessed the ceremony of baptism, after
which they sat themselves quietly in a pew, thinking to hear
the afternoon service, when they were surprised at the shut-
ting of the doors, for which they immediately made, but too
late to make themselves heard. They betook themselves to
the vestry-room, where they found a fire, and inspected the
clergyman's wardrobe. They lulled the two youngest to

sleep, giving them some stick-liquorice and some water,
which they found in the vessel that had recently been used.
Thus they passed the whole of their time, not any way un-
comfortable by their night's adventure, until they were libe-
rated, about nine on the following morning, by one of the
attendants of the church. They were immediately sent home,
accompanied by the grave-digger, to their anxious and in-
quiring parents.

MILITARY FLOGGING ON A SUNDAY.-1t is with regret
that we are unable to contradict a statement of a soldier in
the 1111, or Prince Albert's Own Hussars, having been flog-
ged on Sunday last, at Houndslow Barracks, under the
orders of Lord Cardigan. We feel it due, however, to state,
that the announcement in the Chronicle, for the honour of
British officers, met with no credence at the Senior United
Service Club. The officers believed that the Chronicle must
have been imposed upon. Unfortunately it was not so, for
the punishment was inflicted on the Sabbath. We own that
at first we shared in the general disbelief, but inquiries made
in the proper quarter compel us to say that this horrible
outrage has been committed. We know, however, that the
subject has already engaged official consideration, and we
await with confidence the result. Abstaining from any
remarks upon this shock to religion and humanity, can we
avoid noticing the disgusting insult which Lord Cardigan is
said to have offered to a detachment of the 14th Dragoons ?
They were ordered to witness the punishment. How far
different is the conduct in France—a military country !
There, when in garrison punishment is to be inflicted, de-
tachments from each regiment arc ordered to attend, and
these detachments comprise only those men whose bad con-
duct renders it expedient that they should witness it as a les-
son to themselves. The well-conducted men are always
exempted from attending ; and this exemption is deemed a
great mark of honour. We have only to add, that we ab-
stain from further remarks on this subject, because of our
knowledge that it has not escaped the notice of the proper
authorities.—Observer.

MISSIONARY DISASTER.--TWENTY SIX LIVES LOST.—
We are indebted (says the New York Commercial Advertser),
to the Rev. Dr. Armstrong, agent of the American Board
of Forrign Missions, for the subjoined extracts from a letter
recently received by his lady from the wife of one of the
American Missionaries in the Sandwich Islands. It is a
letter full of interest ; and the account of a wreck of a Sand-
wich Island vessel, and the prayer-meeting of a portion of
the crew while drowning, are without a parallel in the history
of missions or of man.

Hana, Maui, Sandwich Islands, July 21, IMO

" We have just returned from our general meeting at Ho-
nolulu. Our passage was made in a canoe to Dahaiu, a dis-
tance of eighty miles—a perilous undertaking, for the sea was
high, and tearfully threatening to our little bark. From this
place we obtained a passage in the king's vessel to Honolulu.
We had a pleasant meeting with our friends About the
time of our leaving home a sorrowful providence occurred.
The brethren at; Honolulu, fearing that we should ven-
ture upon a canoe, engaged a vessel, which was to go to
Hawaii for Mr. Lyons, and to call on its return and take us.
The vessel made its passage to Hawaii, and, when near its
place of destination, was capsized, and lost. All on board,
consisting of thirty souls, were drowned, except tour. These
seemed to be miraculously preserved to tell the sad tale of the
fate of their companions. When the accident occurred, they
were in shore, but the wind and current were against them,
and, thinking it vain to attempt Hawaii, they congregated
themselves upon the rolling billows, and there, together in
their distress, offered up their supplications to Him who
alone could preserve them from the threatening deep
They attempted to swim to Kahoolura, some thirty miles on
the opposite side of the channel. One man and his wife took
a covered bucket, and tied it to their bodies, and, in this way,
swam until the bucket came to pieces. The female swam
for some time; but on turning, she saw her husband becorn-
