The Staffordshire Advertiser of Saturday says—" We are
sorry not to be able materially to vary our report in reference
to the turn-out,' which stillcoutinnes, and the privation and
suffering consequent upon it are daily increasing, affecting not
only those who belong to the union, but, tci'a greater or less deL
gree, nearly all the inhabitants of the district."
The American papers are keeping up a fire of wit at-the

long, as they have done nothing more than to produce one littlo
spark.
Not less than £150,000 worth of Scotch salmon is sold an-
nually in London, apart from what is consumed at home. Of
the exact value of the myriads of oysters which are annually
gobbled, or served up as sauce to sister- and brother tenants of
the great deep, the trade in London -far exceeds that of salmon
—perhaps doubles it, or in other words is worth £300,000 yearly.
DUNGARVAN ELECTION.—It has at length beeu determined
that Mr. J. Power, of Gurteen, step-son of Mr. ...Shen, M.P., is
to-he the ministerial candidhte fur Durigaryan'. The young
gentleman will just be of age when the wtit is issued. Mr. J.
M. Galwey has avowed his determination to contest the borough,
in which he has considerable interest.

day morning; a similar service once in the middle of every

perform the other duties of' a chaplain described in the general
order of the commissioners." •

THE PEEL B•NULCT.—We understand that the Right Hon.
Baronet will be accompanied by uue of his brothers or some
other relative. Sir Robert will, in all likelihood, arrive on the
Monday previous to the Festival, and intends to proceed direct
to Blythswood House, which will he his temporary residence
during his necessarily short visit to Scotland. The tradesmen
engaged in constructing the Banquet Hall for the dinner to
Sir Robert Peel are getting on pretty well, the whole of the
side walls and part of the rafters being already up. Every part
.will be tinisited in a most substantial manner—and we ha,ye. Ito
doubt it will, when completed, exceed the expeetariori of the
most sanguine, fur neatness and tasteful elcgance.—Glasgota
Co:►rier.

Mystaatous AFFAIR.— A family consisting of four individu-
als, a father, two daughters, and a mother, went to bed, iu
room in the Wallace Fens, Dundee, on Monday night. On
Wednesday, one of the daughters awoke, but could nut awake
the other members of the faintly. Site immediately procured a
light, when shocking to relate, she found her father and sister
dead, and her mother thane. '1.1.w mother is since dead. The
daughter who a woke en Wednesday morning from her protracted
sleep of thirty-two hours, becoming again lethargic on Wednes-
day night, was removed to the Infirfnarv, where the proper
means for her recovery were promptly and' successfully applied,
and we understand that she is now almost well, The circum-
stances attending this mysterious affair are undergoiug investi-
gation by the proper authorities.—Wavew Cornier.
Tian MISSING A LERS.—The condition of the two ves-
sels belonging to Dundee, the Advice and the Thomas, as re-
gards provisions, has naturally enough been the subject of
anxious inquiry. Repoirs, too, have gone abroad to the effect
that the companies to which they belong had stinted them, or,
at least, had not provided for such an emergency as has occur-
red. On inquiry we find that the Thomas was provisioned at
full alloWance for nine months and a half front the date of her
sailing, the begin:row of April, and the Advice fair twelve months
from the swine date. Eight tneuths have new elapsed, so that
thecondition of the Thomas, as regards provisions, is alarming,
unless the crew at an early period had been loaced On short al-
lowance. It is supposed that such an arrangement would be
alopted in September when the prospect appeared of detention
in Ole ice. if so, the provisions may held out till May. The
Advice, having originally twelve mouths' provisions, will be in
better circumstances.—Oundee Advertiser.
• 'Ci-tuoNomicrEns.--The officers Of the surveying ships, Ad-
venture and Beagle, have made seine very interesting observe-
thins on the effects produced upon chrohorneters by different
ciicuinstances. It has bees ascertained that temperature is the
chief, if not the only cause of marked changes of Tate, and that
the'ordinary motions of a ship, such as pitching and rolling
motlerately,.do not affect tolerably good chronometers, which
are fixed., in one place, and are &tended from vibration and
concussion. It often happens that the air. in port or near the
hind, is at a temperature very different trout that of the open
sea in the vicinity, frills which arises the difference sometimes
found-between harbour and sea rates. A cushion, wool, hair,
or any such sulistance, is preferable to a solid bed; but the
chronometers never go better than when the boxes. are bedded
in sawdust, and the watches move freely in well oiled jitaltals,
Suspending them in cots not only alters their rate, but makes
them go Less regularly, -and, when fixed to a solid substance,
they feel the vibrations caused by people running on the decks,
by shocks, or by chain cables running out. Magnetism, al-
though supposed by some persons to affect the rate of going of
chronometers. is yet very difficult to detect.—Adienatun.
ANNUAL. VALUE OF AGRICULTURAL PunoccE.—We have
alreidy seen that the Yearly value of the whole agricultural pro-
duce of England ScW-ales may be estimated aboutt 132,000,000,
and that of Scotland at about £23.000,000, making, it gross sum
of .£155,000,000. Now, deducting from this amount £12,000,000
for the value of the seed, and the sums required to keep up the
stock of horses. &c., we have the sum of £143,000,000, iAD repre-
senting the entire value of the various articles of agricultural
produce annually consumed by man. At present (15.36) the
population of Great Bu itain may be taken et nearly .18,000,000,
which, consequently, gives (l4B4Bihs) £B, very nearly, fur the,
average annual consumption of each individual; and it seems
to he the concurrent opinion of these best entitted to decide as
to such subjects, that this average is not very wide of the mark
W'e have estimated the value of the entire annual produce of the
land of Ireland at £55,50J,0d0; but we have since.been assured
by gentlemen intimately acquainted with the state of that
country, and on whose judgment we are disposed to place much
reliance, that this estimate is above the mark, and that the sie-
nna' Value of the agriculturil produce of Ireland does not ex
coed £15,000,000. Now, if we deduct from this £6,000,000 for
the value of seed, and of the sums required to replace horses,'
&v., and £3,500 ttilo for the values remitted in the shape of rent,
&c.. to absentee proprietors, we have 1:35,500.0j0 to he distri-
buted among the resident population ; which as the latter may
he taken at about ,7500,001., gives neatly 13c to each.— APCui-
lech's Statistical Account of the British Empire.
COURAGEOUS CONDUCT OF A Al AGIST A TE.-----011 Monday
morning, a large concourse of people assembled ill a field at
Mellor, in White Hamlet, where a pitched battle was appointed
to come off. but the circuinatances coming to the knowledge of
Mr. U. Medfield, a Magistrate, the party were dispersed. The
mob, about 500 in number, then adjourned to hawk-green,
near maple, when Mr. If. Simpsou, of Melton-lodge, one of
our Magistrates, was sent for. This gentleman quickly Mounted
his nag. rode amongst stud dispersed them. The combatants not
having time to dress, took diffetent directions, and Simpson
followed our, of them, Abraham Barber, over hi-dge and ditch
for nearly a mile, when the tau falling, he immediately closed
on him and put a handcuff on one wrist. As Mr. Simpson was
conducting his prisoner, he was met by a mob of 200 men,
armed with bludgeons, who demanded that he should lame
diately _give up Barber, or they would force him, at the cam
time using the most horrid oaths and threats towardi hint. M r
Simpson told them he was a Magistrate, and dared them to ae
tempt to use violeuce to him; on which one man offered to strike
hint with his bludgeon. Mr. Simpson forced his prisoner through
them, and took lion -into Mr. Eccles's house, where the mob
incieased and threatened to pull down the place. The man
was put into the stable, and Mr. Eccles went nut to remonstrate
with the fellows, but was received with blows and imprecations.
So violent did the mob become, that the inhabitants were obliged
to use fire-arms in their own defence. A party of constables
was procured, and Barber, an Irishman named Murray, and
Hellen, the ringleaders, were apprehended and taken under
guard to Stockport, where they were examined and committed
to prison fur re-e luutiou.—Stockport Advertiser,
