SINTALLows.—As a proof of the valuable services' ren-
dered by swallows, it is estimated that one of these birds
will destroy, at a low calculation, 900 insects per day;
and, when it is considered that some insects produce as
many as nine generations in a summer, the state of the
air but for these birds may be readily conceived. One
kind of insect alone mightproduce 560,970,489,000,000,000

THE FRIGATE CARLO ALBERTA.—The Carlo Alberto
Sardinian auxiliary screw frigate, launched at Newcastle.
about a month ago, has been safely brought to Shields, in
tow of seven powerful tug steamers. She will, it is an-
ticipated, be fitted out by October. Since she ran on a
sand bank, while launching, the greatest anxiety has been
felt for her safety in coming round the sharp points and
over the shoal parts of the river between Newcastle and
Shields. She was trimmed to an even keel and buoyed at
the stern, giving her a uniform depth of about 15 feet 9
inches, and was brought down, without the slightest
accident. She is a noble specimen of naval architecture,
and is valued at between 480,000 and £90,000.

THE HON. H. T. LIDDELL AND THE
REPRESENTATION OF LIVERPOOL. .

IT will afford much gratification in this and the adjoining
counties, as well as to the admirers of political character
and statesmanlike ability throughout the kingdom, to
know that the Hon. H. T. Liddell has been invited by the
unanimous expression of the leading Conservatives of Li-
verpool, embodied in an influential requisition, to allow
his name to be brought forward, in conjunction with that
of Mr. Horsfall, for the representation of that most im-
portant constituency of the kingdom at the ensuing elec-
tion, to supply the place of Messrs. Forbes Mackenzie and
Turner, just unseated. This invitation, which is couched
in most complimentary terms, and pays a well-merited
tribute to his political consistency and parliamentary ser-
vices, the hon. gentleman has, we are happy to say, seen
it his duty to accept. We feel assured he will have the
sympathy and good wishes of many old and valued friends
in the northern counties ; and it must be gratifying to
the hon. gentleman to find that one and all of his poli-
tical friends are unanimous in their approbation and sup-
port. It is important at this crisis, when custom-house
and other commercial reforms are loudly called for, and
suitable measures of relief for the shipping interest remain
to be secured, that the first shipping port in the world
should be suitably represented ; and the two counties,
who remember the able and consistent parliamentary
services of Mr. Liddell, are in the best position to congra-
tulate the electors of Liverpool upon their choice of a
candidate who, whether as regards private worth, political
integrity, or statesmanlike conduct, as well as intimate
acquaintance with the varied interests with which Liver-
pool is identified, and upon which the welfare of the king-
dom depends, is the most eligible which they could have
selected. As the representative of that great maritime
and commercial constituency also, the hon. gentleman
will occupy that elevated and influential position to which
his great experience and talents, as well as sound political
Principles, entitle him ; and the legislature of the country
will derive no small advantage from the matured parlia-
mentary experience, as well as the Conservative portion
in the House of Commons additional weight, from the
accession of so consistent and able an advocate.—New-
castle Journal.

SUDDEN DEATH IN PRISON.—The Rev. John Mayor,
8.D., of Lincoln College, Oxford, and son of the cele-
brated Dr. Mayor, author of the Spelling-book, and
many other popular works, was found dead, on Monday
afternoon, in his cell on the debtors' side of the Oxford
County Gaol, where he had been confined upwards of
nine years. He had refused to receive the gaol allowance
of food, and subsisted entirely on the bounty of his
friends. For a long time he had been unwell, but re-
fused to see the medical attendant at the gaol, and had
occasionally refused to touch any food for two or three
days together. The deceased's former living in Essex,
worth about £350 per annum, was sequestere about ten
years ago to pay his debts ; but had he lived until October
next it would have been cleared and restored to him.
A JUDGE BEFORE A MAGISTRATE.—At the Marl-
borough-street Police-office, London, on Saturday, Baron
Alderson was summoned for refusing to pay a cab-driver's
demand of eightpence, for having been called off the rank.
The learned baron, who was his own lawyer, cross-ex-
amined the complainant, to show that he had sent some
one to the house to receive the eightpence. This, how-
ever, was denied. The baron mentioned to the magis-
trate that the eightpence had been paid to some cabman
who had called at his house. He was not in town at the
time, and the cab was not fetched on his account. He
did not make that an objection to the summons, but he
attended to answer it in order to stop the demands on
him. If he did not take some such step, he should have
the whole cab rank coming to his house for the eight-
pence. The magistrate decided that the learned baron
should pay the eightpence, and the cost of the summons ;
but he would not allow anything for loss of time, in con-
sequence of the complainant's indiscreet conduct in
having talked about the affair amongst his fellow-cabmen,
and thus induced the fraud.

THE BOOMERANG PROPELLER.—A trial of Sir Thos
Mitchell's Boomerang Propeller took place on board
H.M.S. Conflict, in Stoke's Bay, on Saturday week :
After a run of eight times along the measured distance,
the results were, on an average, 9'125 knots, with average
revolutions of 63. This was somewhat surpassing in
speed the result of the last trial with the common screw,
with eight revolutions less, and a saving of one-eighth of
the coal, and Sir Thos. Mitchell appeared to entertain no
doubt that, had the pitch of the Boomerang screw been
the same as the pitch of the common screw, a higher
speed would have been the result. The reduction of the
vibration ordinarily experienced on board either screw or
paddle-steamers, and frequently a distressing annoyance,
was noticed approvingly by all on board the Conflict.
This comparative absence of vibration is one of the com-
fortable characteristics of the Boomerang, saving at once
the wear and tear of the ship and the passengers' rest.
MAILS von AUSTEtAILIA.—The Government have again
invited tenders for the conveyance of mails to Australia,
the periods fixed in the present instance being the 4th of
August, the 4th of October, and the 3d of December.
They are to be delivered at Adelaide, Sydney, and Mel-
bourne, and it is contemplated to repeat the singular ar-
rangement of sending the whole in one ship, paying a
bounty of £l,OOO, instead of distributing this sum among
vessels to the separate ports, which would not only insure
the greatest individual dispatch, but also increase the
stimulus of competition. The tenders, as in the former
case, may be for either steam or sailing ships, the owners
having the option of London, Liverpool, Plymouth, or
Southampton as the port of departure; and preference
will be given to that which specifies the shortest time for
the service. A penalty of £5O is to be incurred for every
day's delay in leaving, and of £3O for every day occupied
in the passage beyond the time named in the tender;
these penalties, however, in no case to exced £1,250,
that is to say, £250 beyond the amount granted. It
appears that any route may be selected for the passage.
A SCOTCH ACT-EON.—A pretty village on the neigh.
bouring coast, frequented by summer visitors, was lately
the scene of rather an amusing incident. Taking advan-
tage of a lovely summer day, two young ladies betook
themselves to a sheltered spot a little way up the coast,
where they hoped to indulge in an unmolested bathe.
After the usual preliminary proceedings, they had jest ac-
complished a few dips, when, to their consternation and
disgust, they observed a young gentleman of an inquiring
turn of mind seated on a neighbouring rock, and intensely
enjoying the scene. The impertinence was aggravated by
the fact, that a powerful opera-glass was made the instru-
ment of a more minute inspection of their aquatic evolu-
tions. The blushing but indignant maidens remained in
the water as long as was consistent with comfort and se-
curity, in the hope that the stranger would withdraw, and
leave them to, at least, their necessary toilet, when, to
their horror, he was observed to descend calmly from his
elevation, divest himself of his apparel, and proceed to
bathe in close proximity. But he had strangely miscalcu-
lated the results, for the spirit of the maidens was at last
aroused, and they secretly determined on a bold revenge.
With an appearance of insulted modesty, they timidly
withdrew from the sea, and, concealing themselves
behind a convenient rock, proceeded to dress ;
then, folding up their bathing gowns, they rushed
upon the garments of the gentleman, and bore
them off in triumph. The unfortunate man in-
stantly comprehended his position. A succession of
shouts and supplications followed the ladies in their flight,
growing fainter and fainter as the distance increased ;
while the " gentleman," with considerable modesty, re-
mained in the water, evincing great agitation, and implor-
ing restitution, at first with stentorian lungs, and subse-
quently in animated and appropriate gestures ; but in vain,
—the insulted maidens were inexorable. As the spot was
very secluded, some hours elapsed before he could make
his situation known. At length a grinning rustic made
his appearance, and informed him that the " twa leddies
had left his cla'es wi' a wench at the green, a mile awa',
what wadna gi'e them back without he paid a pun' for
taking care o' them, forby being a penalty for affront-
ing the leddies dookin'." The penalty was paid on the
restitution of the garments, and the unlucky wight quietly
left the village, where the joke was already known, and
the conduct of the damsels publicly approved of. The
offender is now suffering from a severe attack of rheuma-
tism.—Edinburgh Guardian.

ST. HELEN'S

INEWTON-LE-WILLOWS.—There is in course of rapid
formation an extensive and handsome lake between Gal-
borne park and Newton church, near the Railway station,
on the estate of Thomas Legh, Esq., in the Valley, near
" Cattle bill," one of the most beautiful and picturesque
spots in England. The ancient covered market granted
under the charter of King Edward 1., which has been
closed for many years, was re-opened with great eclat on
Saturday last, and was so densely thronged that the traders
were unable to provide for all their wants. There was a
dinner to commemorate the event at the Horse and Jockey
Inn, and most of the leading gentry were present. Wm.
Mercer, Esq., agent of the lord of the manor, presided.

AGRICULTURE.—Out-door operations are now going on
in suitable weather. Hay-making claims most of the
farmer's attention during the present tickle and showery
weather ; this crop is light, and with little or no old stock
on hand we may expect higher prices. Wheat is fast com-
ing into ear, but will be thin, in consequence of the heavy
rains at sowing time, with little more than half the quan-
tity sown. Oats and Barley are growing most luxuriantly.
Beans now sweeten the air by their fragrance and bloom.
Potatoes are again showing signs of decay. Vetches are
looking well, but the winter sown ones were inferior, and
some have been ploughed under. Milch cows and sheep
have recovered from the effects of the late dry weather.

INAUGURATION OF THE GARSTON DOCK.

Tuesday last was a red-letter day in the annals of Gar-
ston. On the occasion of the opening of the new dock, it
was the scene of gay festivities, in which the entire popu-
lation were joined by a large number of visitors. The St.
Helens and Garston Canal and Railway Company invited
upwards of 600 ladies and gentlemen to witness the open-
ing of the new dock, which is so well fitted to develope
the important commercial capacity of that district, parti-
cularly in regard to coal and salt. A large proportion of
the guests came from Manchester, St. Helens, Warring-
ton, and other towns ; and for their conveyance to Gar-
ston trains were provided by the directors. The Liverpool
portion of the company sailed from the Landing-stage
about half-past ten o'clock, in the fleet and beautiful
steamer Countess of Ellesmere. Though the weather
during the trip was anything but favourable,the passengers
remained on deck, and here and there, on the shore, were
collected groups of persons, who cheered her course as,
with streaming pennons and glancing prow, the steamer
bounded along with that swiftness and grace for which she
is so distinguished. At intervals, selections of music
were performed by Gribbin's band. The arrival of
the Countess of Ellesmere at the new dock, at about
eleven o'clock, was hailed by repeated salutes from
cannon stationed on the piers; by stirring music from
Gribbin's and the Stockport bands, the latter being posted
at the dock ; and by the hearty cheering of crowds of
spectators. The vessels in dock, of which there were a
considerable number, were gaily dressed with flags, while
bunches of laurel were placed at the extremities of the
spars. It was about an hour before high water, and the
24f foot mark on the sill of the dock was just covered.
The Countess was brought round to the quay opposite the
entrance, where the passengers landed amidst renewed
plaudits and peals of cannon. One of the semi-com-
pleted warehouses, an impromptu tent of sails, and a
handsome marquee of Edgington's, formed the banquet-
ing-room, whither some of the ladies at once adjourned,
while others, with the gentlemen, made the tour of the
dock, in order to inspect the various appliances with
which it has been supplied. The dimensions are as fol-
low :—Water area, 6 acres ; width of ship entrance, 50
feet; width of river-craft lock, 20 feet; depth of water on
sills below Old Dock Sill, Liverpool, 6 feet ; giving, on a
20-feet tide, a depth of water of 26 feet on the sills, and
29 feet in the dock, the dock being excavated three feet
below the gate-sills ; length of wharf (100 feet wide), S3O
yards. The dock has been designed and laid out for
mineral and salt traffic, but it is capable of being used for
other goods, should the course of trade require. Thirty
acres of land are set apart for a coal depot on the high
level, thirty feet above the dock wharf, fv4ia coal-drops on
the dock-side for shipping the coal from the waggons
into the ships' holds, the speed of delivery being only
limited to the rate at which the coal can be stowed. These
coal-drops have been made by Mr. Robert Dagleish, jun.,
of St. Helens. Each waggon will hold six tons, and the
motive power is gained by an ingenious application of
compensating weights. It is conjectured that there will
be constantly from 500 to 1,000 waggons in the dep6t,
arriving, departing, and in standage. At the north end
of the depOt are a series of coal-yards, with neat cottages
for the keepers, uniformly built. For the accommodation
of lighter goods, a warehouse of two floors is being
erected on the south end of the dock. The cranes and
hoists will all be worked by Armstrong and Co.'s hydrau-
lic apparatus. An essential feature in this railway dock
is, that it is always at work, night and day. To facilitate
night-work the warehouse and quays will be all lighted
with gas. Round the margin of the dock a line of rails
will be laid, on the level, the waggons being hoisted and
lowered by hydraulic apparatus placed on the east quay.
The banquet took place at one o'clock, in a room, the
sides and roof of which were clothed with shrubs and
flowers, from whose graceful combinations peeped appro-
priate mottoes. To Mr. Bell, who arranged the decora-
tions, the utmost credit is due for the excellent taste and
fancy exhibited in the work. There were twenty•four
tables in all, including that at which sat the directors and
the principal guests. The tables were well supplied by
Mr. Lynn, of the Waterloo. Gilbert Greenali, Esq., M.P.,
occupied the chair, and amongst the other members of
the company were Samuel Holme, Esq., the Mayor, with
whom were Mrs. and Miss Holme. and Messrs. Charles
Holland. John Stewart, Arthur Holme, Bernard Hall,
:zlilliamTborneley, Frederic Peel, J. Crosthwaite,Wiiliam
Stewart, James Holme, Robert Neilson, Edward Mills,
Edward Heath, J. K. Rouothwaite, William Fo

sbery,

Campbell, Massiter, Muspratt, Studley Martin, 'Whitley,
Armitage Pearson, M.R.C.S., surgeon to the railway,
Rev. Richard Greenall, Dr. Ihne, Captain Cook, &c. A
very large proportion of the company consisted of ladies,
who seemed delighted with the whole proceedings of the
day. When the heavier equipages were removed, and the
dessert was placed upon the table, the speaking com-
menced. The chairman, after giving an historical sketch
of the dock, in the course of which he paid a tribute to
the memory of Mr. Ashton, of Liverpool, the founder of
the Sankey Canal, the first canal in England, and re-
ferred to the fact that it was their privilege to have a
descendant of the great John Ashton in that room, pro-
posed that the company should drink to the success of
the Dock, and expressed the hope that their happiness,
in celebrating its opening that day, might, as it were,
be a type of its future prosperity. The toast was drunk
with great enthusiasm.—Mr. Fosbery, jun., gave " The
Town and Trade of St. Helens," coupling the toast with
the name of Mr. Pilkington, who replied ; and Mr.
Keats took the opportunity of saying that, when the St.
Helens and Runcorn Railway was projected, he was re-
sident near St. Helens, and was the first person who
established a manufactory on that line of railway,
for the purpose of availing himself of the facilities
he believed it would afford, and he had not been
disappointed.—Mr. Holland gave " The health of Mr.
Samuel Holme and the Town and Trade of Liver-
pool," a toast which his Worship acknowledged
in an eloquent and energetic speech, in the course of
which he remarked that from the increasing importance
of that place, which he supposed they must in future
dignify by the name of the port of Garston, the chair-
man would not be doing his duty to Lancashire if, should
a new reform bill be brought forward in the next session
of parliament, he did not claim for the enterprising town
of St. Helens the privilege of sending members to that
house. (Great cheering.) His worship likewise observed :
I have often witnessed the facility with which coals were
shipped in other places, and I must confess I have burned
with indignation that the Mersey, which has taken the
lead in the commercial world, the town which I do repre-
sent, should have been so much behind even the smallest
Welsh ports, as well as the great towns in the north of
England, in calling to her aid and adapting the modern
facilities of science to her wants. You have set
an example to our Dock Trustees on this occasion.—
(Hear, hear.) lam exceedingly glad to see the deputy-
chairman of our Dock Trustees present—(laughter and
cheers)—and I hope they will follow your example in
giving a high level railway for the shipment of coals ; since
I for one believe that our river ought to become one great
quay, crowded with every facility which science can give
you for the transaction of the business of the world.—
Mr. Holme concluded by proposing the health of the
Chairman, who, after acknowledging the compliment,
gave " The Dock Trustees of the port of Liverpool,"
coupled with the name of Mr. Shand.—Mr. Shand briefly
replied.—The subsequent toasts were :—" The Town and
Trade of Warrington," by the Chairman, acknowledged
by Mr. Perrin, the mayor, in a spirited speech ; " The
health of Mr. Court, the engineer," from the chair,
acknowledged by Mr. C. in a modest speech, who said
that, if he required information, he had only to go to
Liverpool and draw upon the " stock" of that father of
dock engineering, Mr. Jesse Hartley. " The Lancashire
Witches ;" " The directors, secretary, and officers of the
Railway," by Mr. H. C. Beloe ; '• The Press," by Mr.
Charles Holland, acknowledged by Mr. Baines ; " The
health of Mr. Whitley, solicitor to the Company ;" and,
"The Bishop and the Clergy," which was acknowledged by
the Rev. Richard Greenall, of Warrington. The pleasant
proceedings having come to a conclusion, the Liverpool
visitors returned home for the most part by the well-ap-
pointed omnibuses from Aigburth, the ride home in the
sunshine (for the afterpart of the day had cleared up
beautifully) forming not the least agreeable part of the
day's enjoyment.

DREADFUL ACCIDENT ON BOARD H.M.S. LONDON.—
On the passage of Rear-admiral Corry's squadron, to
Portsmouth, a most appalling accident took place on board
the London, 90 guns, Capt. Hutton, causing the instan-
taneous death of Lieutenant Wellesley Pole Chapman, first
lieutenant, and six men belonging to her. There being s
calm, the London was taken in tow by the Imperieuse, 50
gun screw-frigate, the tow rope being fastened to the
London's chain messenger, which was attached to a ring-
bolt on the lower deck. It would appear that the chain
messenger was not well secured to the `• bits," and a sud-
den strain occurring, the whole force of it was concentrated
on the ring-bolt, which gave way, and the chain flew
round with terrific violence, killing Lieutenant Chapman
and six men instantaneously. The bodies were consigned
to the deep on the same evening. Nine others were most
severely wounded, and one of whom it is feared will not
recover.—Morning Post.

Sr. ANN'S INFANT SCHOOL, OLD SWAN.--An exami-
nation of the infants of the above school took place on
Thursday evening last, the 23rd inst., which was numer-
ously attended by the ladies and gentlemen of the neigh-
bourhood. The various subjects in which the infants
were examined included scripture, the life of Christ, from
map, a great portion of the old testament, geo-
graphy, history of England, natural history, and objects.
The examination gave great satisfaction to all present, and
the audience testified their entire approbation in frequent
and loud applause at the admirable manner in which the
infants gave their answers to the numerous questions.
Too much praise cannot be given to Mrs. Stewart, the
talented schoolmistress, for the admirable and very careful
manner in which she has laboured to train up the infants
placed under her care ; and we have no doubt
.she must d
have felt highly gratified at the cordial manner n which
her endeavours were received. The Rev. T. Gardner, in-
cumbent of St. Ann's, Stanley, delivered a very feeling
address to the children and their parents, with reference
to their proper training, &c., and the proceedings termi-
nated about half-past 9 o'clock,
