DOMESTIC INTELLIGENCE

FORGERY.—A person named Robinson, a clerk in the em-
ploy of Mr. Pemberton, of Bilston, is, it is stated, charged
with uttering forged bills to a considerable amount Forged
bills, amounting to about £lOO., have, we hear, been dis-
counted for the party by Mr. Fryer, banker, Wolverhampton ;
and others, it is stated, have been put in circulation by the
same individual at Dudley and Birmingham. The delinquent,
for whose apprehension a warrant is issued, has absconded.—
Birmingham Advertiser.

The Lord-Liententancy of the county of Kent, vacant by
the death of the late Marquis of Camden, is still vacant. jt
has been offered to the Earl of Thanet and Lord Barhath,
both of them whig noblemen, and by both, as we hear, the
offer has been declined. Whom to ask next (whig nobility
being a scarce commodity in the county,) her majesty's mini-
sters cannot tell.—Kentish Observer.
The napkins ‘• intended for ordinary" use in the nursery

damask, fri aged with gold, with bullian tassels at the
corners.

Tom COOKE'S LAST.—A person boasting of being able
to sing alto, tenor, or bass—Tom turned on his heel and
said, " Yes, I know you can sing very high, very low, and
very middling."
ST. JEAN D'AcuE.—The Standard has ventured to indulge
in a supposition that Acre, and one or two other places in
Syria, will be ceded to the British. It is a sufficient answer
to all such surmises, that the treaty of London binds each of
the contracting powers that no accession of territory by either
shall be the result of their mutual engagements.—Globe.

LEEDS OPERATIVE CONSERVATIVE SOCIETY.—This
loyal society, which now consists of nearly 800 members, has
determined not to be behindhand in its rejoicings on the
auspicious event of the birth of the Princess Royal. The
members have resolved to dine together in the society's
rooms, Kitchen's Buildings, on the day the baptism may
take place.—Leeds Intelligencer.

as under :—Silver coin—Hambugh, 74,067 ounces, Rotter-
dam, 14,100 ounces, Belgium, 600 ounces, British West In-
dies, 720 ounces.
It is rumoured that a squadron of Prince Albert's Hussars
are about to leave the Brighton Barracks for Wales, where
fresh disturbances have been apprehended. We believe that
the squadron will be under the command of Captain Jones
and Captain Douglas, and that they have orders to hold them-
selves in readiness to march.—Brighton Gazette.
The daughter of a shepherd in the island of Mull, a child of
six years of age, who had missed her way in one of the track-
less heaths of the island, was recently discovered alive in a
heather bush, after being exposed for two nights and two
days to the most boisterous weather, with hail and rain. Se-
veral of the red deer were found couched by the side of the
little wanderer.

The dreadful pestilence amongst cattle which has been
raging in different parts of the country. has at length reached
the neighbourhood of Cockermouth in a mitigated form.
Several stocks have fallen ill of the disease, but very few cat-
tle have died. Various plans have been resorted to to prevent
the infection, amongst others the ridiculous superstition of
" neat fire."—Carlisle Patriot. .

Thursday night, great consternation prevailed in a factory
in this city, were 280 girls are employed. The report of a
ghost upset all the frames and lights, many rushed out of the
house, while more fell prostrate in the utmost terror. The
only real danger was of the whole concern being burnt. The
chain of the clock, which had run down, caused all this
fright.—Limerick Chronicle.

The Railway Times suggests that the penalties imposed by
deodands in cases of railway accidents might be deducted,
with great advantage both to the public interest and that of
the shareholders, from the allowances of the managers, in the
same way as fines for neglect of duty are taken from the wages
of policemen, porters, and other subordinates of the establish-
ment.

FAILURE IN BIRMINGRAM.—WE regret to state, that
rumours were afloat yesterday of an extensive failure in this
town, which, we fear, were too well founded. There is, how-
ever, reason to hope that ultimately the concern, which has
always been one of great respectability, may be wound up to
the satisfaction of the parties to whom the house is liable.—
Birmingham Advertiser.

At Abergwilly Church, on Sunday se'nnight, Dr. Thir-
wall, the Bishop of St. David's, read the whole of the even-
ing service in Welch, much to the gratification of every one
who heard -him, and, it is said, with a pronunciation
astonishingly correct.—The Cambrian.

A MONTTEII. RADISH.—Mr. Daniel Rees, of Burton-hill,
near Malmesbury, on Thursday dug from his garden a
radish, sown in the early part of the summer, which, with
its branches, weighed 19 pounds, and was 15 inches in cir-
cumference. His child, about nine months' old, was put in
the opposite scale, and just balanced it.—Wilts Standard.
LEEDS.—So unscrupulous is the whig enmity of the cor-
poration against the old tory corporation that the town-
clerk and his clerks were employed during the greater part
of last Sunday, in matters connected with the Chancery
suit lately instituted by the whigs against the former corpo-
ration.—Halifax Guardian.

The race of dogs called in Scotland deer hounds, and in
Ireland wolf dogs, is nearly extinct, but it seems that some
gentlemen in Scotland are resolved to multiply and preserve
the breed. In shape they are like the greyhound, but are
much stronger, and more courageous, and have longer hair.
Sir George Rose, now a judge in the Court of Review, is
to be the new Master of Chancery, in the room of Lord
Henley, who retires. By the present appointment of Sir
George Rose, a diminution of £2,000 per annum in the ex-
penses of the Court of Review occurs, as it is not intended
to appoint any other judge to supply the vacancy occasioned
by his removal.

Under the provision of the warrant of the 4st of October,
1840, the following meritorious colonels of long standing
have been selected by Lord Hill for an increase of £lOO per
annum in addition to their half-pay :—Colonels Sir A.
Maclaine, J. Hay, G. O'Malley, C. A. Vigoreux, Sir R
Armstrong, Sir F. Stovin, J. Duffy, C. E. Conyers, R. Park:
LONGEVITY.—In the village of Carleton, near this city,
which only contains about 100 inhabitants, there are now liv-
ing ten persons whose united ages exceed 800 years ! A most
remarkable instance of the healthiness and purity of the Cum-
berland air—and we do not think that a similar result is any
where to be found among so small a number of inhabitants.

AUSTRALIAN WOOL.—The following is the calculation of
the increase of production of Australian wool, on the suppo-
sition that the same ratio be preserved in the fourteen years
to come as has been prepared in the fourteen years that are
past. In 1824, 274,000 lbs. of wool were exported ; in 1837,
4,609,915 lbs. were exported; and at this rate of increase, in
1851, 77,020,125 lbs. ought to be exported.
REGIMENTAL SCHOOLMISTRESSES.—Her Majesty has,
within the last fortnight, signed a warrant for the appoint-
ment of a schoolmistress to every regiment of cavalry, and
every regiment, battalion, or depot of infantry. Her duties
will be instruct the female children of soldiers in reading,
writing, arithmetic, and plain needlework. For this she is
to receive a salary of £2O a-year, or where a regiment of in-
fantry is on detached service, or in depot, at the rate of £3
a company. The want of such a person has long been felt in
the service; for, hitherto, although ample provision has been
in existence for the instruction of the sons, none has, until
the present time, ever been afforded to the daughters of sol-
diers. Wherever it is possible, it is intended that this situa-
tion shall be filled by the wife of a non-commissioned officer
of the regiment to which she is appointed.—A Correspondent
of the Dublin Monitor.

FRIGHTFUL SUICIDE AT ST. GEORGE'S HOSPITAL.—
Tuesday afternoon, about three o'clock, one of the porters in
the hall of St. George's Hospital, hearing an alarming crash
in the area of the building towards Grosvenor-place, imme-
diately opened the window, when he was horror struck at
beholding a woman lying on the ground in a pool of blood.
On the alarm being given, several surgeons immediately ran
to the spot, and she was conveyed into one of the wards,
where it was discovered that her right arm was broken in two
places, she had received a compound fracture of both legs,
her skull was fractured, and her back very much injured.
She lingered in a state of insensibility for about two hours
after the fall,. and then expired. It appeared, on examining
the roof, that she had precipitated herself from the coping
(a height of at least 60 feet) into the yard beneath. Her
name was Abigail Cheeseeley, aged about 57, and she had been
for a considerable number of years one of the nurses of the
hospital, and appears to have been much respected.

EARTHQUAKES.—We have again a remarkable example
of the coincident occurrence of earthquakes in distant parts
of the world. It will be seen, from a paragraph in another
column, that the town of Zante, in the island of the same
name, has been ruined by a series of terrific shocks between
the 24th and 30th of October; and our paper of the 3lat
October records a shock on the 26th of that month at Comrie.
The distance between these localities is nearly seventeen
hundred miles, or one-fifteenth part of the circumference of
the globe. The bearing is north-west and south-east. It
may be remembered, that the great earthquake of 23d Octo-
ber, last year, was felt simultaneously at Comrie, in Piedmont,
and at Reggio, in Calabria—that is, over a line coinciding in
direction with the present, and only a little shorter. If we
prolong the line connecting Reggio and Comrie farther north-
ward, it strikes Mount Hecla in Iceland, and may thus be
said to have an active volcano at each extremity—Etna at the
one and Hecla at the other. Its length will be 2,300 miles,
or one-eleventh part of the circumference of the globe. It is
extremely probable, that by and by we shall hear of earth-
quakes between the 24th and 30th October, in the Alps, or
Apennines, or at other intermediate localities.—Scotsman.
EXTRAORDINARY SHIPWRECK ON THE SCILLY ISLANDS.
—The following singular and most providential deliverance
of a shipwrecked Crew is from the Cornwall Royal Gazette;
On Friday se'nnight, two Scilly pilot-boats discovered a yes-
vel, bottom up, off St. Mary's, and took her in tow ; but
night coining on, and the weather becoming unfavourable,
they for the time abandoned her. The next morning they
again went in search of her, when they found that she had
been driven ashore on the rocks, still with her bottom up.
They went near her, and fancying they heard some noise in
the hold, cut a hole in her bottom, when four men came out !
It appears that the vessel was laden with oil ; and that from
the buoyant nature of her cargo, she not only kept afloat
after she had capsized, but rode lightly on the water. The
men were in the cabin when the accident happened, and
finding that the vessel did not fill, they crept into lazaretto,
and proceeded from thence into the lower part of the hold,
next the keelson, that part being of course left vacant by the
falling of the cargo against the deck. Here they remained
60 hours without nourishment, and with slender hopes of
deliverance ; and when at length they were so providentially
liberated, they were in a state of great exhaustion—so
great, indeed, that one of them died almost immediately
after.

The town council of Birmingham pledged itself on Tuesday,
by a resolution to " oppose by all constitutional means," the
introduction of the new poor-law into that town.

In an advertisement eulogising the peculiar advantages of
an hospital in London, it is stated that there are 340 beds,
and " post-mortem examinations nearly every day."

Alderman Thompson has purchased the whole of linderle.y,
in Westmorland, which consists of 3,000 acres of land, with
a splendid mansion, and was the property of Mr. Newel.

The London Standard states, " upon the most undoubted
authority," that the report of Baron Mounier being intrustd
with a mission to the English court from the French govern-
ment, is without foundation.

STRAWBERRIES.-Mr. M. Dalby, of Linton, Wetherby,
has shown us a sample of very fine ripe strawberries, which
were grown in the open ground in his garden, and gathered
on Tuesday last. —Leeds Intelligences.
The Rev. J. M. Capes has given the munificient sum of
£5OOO for the erection of a new church at Eastover, where
the church accommodation has for some time past been
insufficient for the wants of that populous neighbourhood.
At the Court of Excise, on Tuesday, W. Reynolds, of
the Falcon, Essex-street, Bethnal-green, Middlesex, was
fined £2OO for adulterating beer. John Seagrave, of the
Windsor Castle, Harley-street, and Thomas Ambrose,
Harcourt-street, London, were fined £lOO.
The Bude Light is about to be introduced into several of
the principal shops of the metropolis, in consequence of the

Captain Collier, who commanded the Castur at the late
siege of Acre, and who displayed so much gallantry on that
occason, is a magistrate of this county. When at home he
resides at Blockley, and is well known in Lord Segrave's
hunt as a tip-top sportsman.—Worcester Journal.
DEATH OF THE REV. J. H. Bumnv.:--Intelligence has
been received of the death of the Rev. J. H. Bumby, Super-
intendent of Wesleyan Missiims in New Zealand. He had
been on a visit to some of the southern stations, and was on
his return to the principal station at Hokianga. Having to
travel part of the way, in the route which he preferred, in a
native canoe, the frail vessel was upset on the voyage, and
Mr. Bumby and twelve natives met with a watety grave.
This distressing event occurred June 26.
NOVEL SHOOTING MATCH.—On Friday four of the har-
pooners belonging to the whale ships of this port met at
Shields to contend for a handsome single gun, given by Mr.
William Greener (inventor of the improved harpoon gun) to
the fortunate individual who would capture the most whales
with the said guns at Davis Straits during the past season.
Unfortunately there were only five fish amongst the five ships,
four of which were killed by the guns, and each of the above
individuals got one. It thus became necessary to contend
who should carry off the trophy, and, after firing two shots
each with the harpoon at a small floating target, eight inches
diameter, it was unanimously given to Mr. John Wheatley,
mate of the Lord Gambier, he putting the harpoon through
the target within an inch of the bull's-eye.—Tyne Mercury.

THE WESLEYAN BODY.—From the minutes of the late
conference, it appears, that the number of members in
society was as follows :—Under the care of the British con-
ferences, 428,729, namely—in Great Britain, 323,178, in
Ireland, 27,047, in foreign stations, 78,504 ; under the care
of the Wesleyan Methodist Church in Upper Canada (in
1840), 16,354 ; under the care of the American conferences,
in 1828, the date of the last returns, 692,341 ; total number
of members 1,137,424. The number of preachers, regular
and supernumerary, was, in Great Britain, 1078 ; in Ireland
(including 23 missionaries), 159 ; in the foreign stations (in-
cluding assistant missionaries), 245 ; in Upper Canada, 127 ;
in the American connexion, 3,322 ; total number of ministers,
5031. Grand total of members and ministers throughout
the world, 1,142,455. Watchman.

.DESPERATE AFFRAY WITH POACHERS.—To the nume-
rous deadly rencontres which have recently taken place
between poachers and gamekeepers, we have to add another
which occurred on Monday night on the Catton estate of W.
Horton, Esq. It appears that seven poachers were follow-
ing their illegal pursuits on the estate on the night named,
and came suddenly upon the keeper, a fine athletic young
man, who, notwithstanding the fearful odds, courageously
attacked them. After escaping from the keeper, one of the
poachers, afraid that he was recognised, or from some malig-
nant motive, pointed his gun at the poor man, and poured
its contents right through his shoulder, evidently intending
to murder him. We have not been able to ascertain whether
the wound is dangerous or not, or whether any of the poach-
ers are likely to be apprehended.—Derby Mercury.

TOTNES.—DEFEAT OF THE RADlCALS.—Thursday last,
the 26th of November, was the annual meeting of the rate-
payers of the parish, for auditing the accounts of the inspec-
tors appointed under the act of parliament, for the lighting
and watching of parishes. The persons whose term of office
had expired, were Messrs. Thomas Parrott, Thomas Angel,
James Gortley, and William Williams, all of whom are ra-
dicals ; and the inspectors elected in their stead were Messrs.
William Bowden, W. Putt, T. Ponsford, J. W. Chester,
and Mr. N. Manning, all of whom are conservatives. Mr.
Wm. Bowden was first proposed, and in opposition to him
Mr. Thomas Parrott ; but on a division the conservatives
had a majority of at least five to one. The radicals were
completely chopfallen, and did not again press a divison. At
the conclusion of the business three cheere were given in
good style for the newly elected inspectors.—Western Lu-
minary.

EXPORTATION or HORSES.—Two celebrated French
horse-dealers, Messrs. Kremes and Benedict, engaged about
a month ago, to provide the government of their country with
twelve hundred young fresh cavalry horses, at twenty-eight
guineas each, when they immediately came to this country,
and entered into partnership with three Englishmen, who are
now actively engaged scouring the kingdom in all directions,
in search of the same, and have actually shipped off to Bou-
lougne about two-thirds of the quantity ; but what is most
to be alarmed at is the difficulty experienced in procuring
them, from the scarcity of the sort of animal required. These
parties have the option to extend the contract to provide four
thousand more at the same rate. They admit that should
this country embark in a war with France, there will not be a
horse found even to draw our baggage waggons, much less to
supply additional troops.—Newcastle Journal.
FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE BIRMINGHAM AND DERBY
RAILWAY.—BIRMINGHAM, THURSDAY EVENING.-Avery
serious accident occurred on the Birmingham and Derby
Railway last night. The train which left this town at five
p.m., on its arrival at Whitacre Heath, near Coleshill, came
in contact with a truck on the line, the consequence of which
was that the engine was thrown off the rails. The first-class
carriages then broke away from the tender and ran on with-
out the engine, but one or more of the third-class carriages
in the rear were thrown over, and one unfortunate passenger
killed upon the spot. The stoker was likewisa pitched from
the tender, and report states, died this morning. Whether
this be true or not, all accounts agree in representing him
most seriously, if not fatally, injured. Many of the passen-
gers received bruises and contusions, but, with the exception
of the parties already named, few of them experienced injuries
of much consequence. It is stated that the truck which
caused the unfortunate collision was in the care of two
labourers on the line. During the day they had been at work
at Kingsbury, and at the time the accident occurred were on
their return towards Coleshill. They propelled the truck by
means of sticks, and on seeing the train approach attempted
to remove the truck off the rails; but, before they could ac-
complish their intention, the engine (the night being dark)
ran in upon them and caused the fatal catastrophe already
decribed. Fortunately the two labourers saved themselves
by a precipitate retreat off the line, and were, as it is said, in
no way injured.
PORTSMOUTH.—The steamer Avon, commanded by Lieu-
tenant Pritchard, proceeded on Monday to Plymouth, on
which station she is in future to remain. The Blazer steamer,
Lieutenant Steane, will proceed on Wednesday to Plymouth,
on her way to the West Indies, to relieve the Dee, ordered
home to be paid off. She has despatches for Vice-Admiral
Sir Thomas Harvey, K.C.B. The Locust steam vessel,
Lieut. Lunn, on her way to Malta, will call at Spithead from
Woolwich about Friday next. The Salamander steam
frigate, Commander Henry, is making some defects in her
machinery good ; after which she is to proceed to the northern
ports on special service. The Bellisle, 78, Captain Nicholas,
is rapidly proceeding in her outfit at Plymouth, and is to
return to the Mediterranean when ready. The Impregnable,
104 captain Forrest, is also making rapid advances towards
completion, having already entered more than half her
complement. The Ferret, 10, Lieut. Sidney Thomas, has
left Plymouth for the Irish ports, to obtain volunteer sea-
men for general service among the ships fitting out. The
Calcutta, 84, Capt. Sir Sam. Roberts, left Gibraltar for
Malta on the 10th November, to join Adm. Stopford's fleet.
The Formidable, 84, at Chatham, is quite read for commission,
being masted, and all her stores prepared. Several large
frigates are likewise in preparation at Sheerness, and only
awaiting orders to hoist the pendant. The Indus, 84, Capt.
Sir James Stirling, and Tweed, 20, Commander Douglas,
are nearly ready for removal to their respective hulks in the
harbour. It is said the former ship is to go to the East
Indies ; but the rumour obtains no belief. Captain Hugh
Evans, Royal Marines, 1837, of the Portsmcnith division, is
to he Commandant, or Governor of the Island of Ascension,
vice Tinklar, deceased.—Brighton Gazette.

WONDERFUL AFFECTION.—TI3re is at present a young
woman, 21 years of age, residing in the parish of Clydey, in
the county of Pembroke, (daughter of Mr. John Davies,
Hendre Gwilym,) to all appearance quite dead, having been
in that state for nearly a twelvemonth past, but awakes once
every 24 hours, precisely at ten o'clock at night, and will
converse with the family and others for about 20 minutes,
when she will again relapse into the same state, and remain
so until ten o'clock the following night, at which hour she
revives to the minute, throwing out her arms and folding
her hands together, and rising up in her shoulders until the
spectators imagine that her bones are cracking. She con-
tinues in that laborious state for the space of ten minutes,
when she comes to a perfect possession of her faculties. She
recollects well if any promises have been made her on the
previous night, and will be very bitter for a time if the same
are not fulfilled ; but if brought her, she makes use of none
of them, as she eats and drinks little or nothing. She could
never be persuaded to attempt eating any food but three
times during 23 days, and then, putting the three together,
no more than a child twelve months old would take. After
conversing for a short time, she will suddenly clasp her
hands together, throw her arms in the same manner as when
awaking, and will return into the same state as before until
ten o'clock the following night. The family removed at
Michaelmas last from the farm of Donlan, to a place called
Hendre ; the daughter was taken along with them in a cart,
and was placed in a bed in the new house, where she found
herself at the usual hour of awaking. On finding herself in
a strange place, she looked about, and asked her mother,
" Mother where did you take me to ?" when answered that
it was to the Hendre, she said, " 0 ! mother, you have
broken my heart, how can I get the Dolna water in future ?"
The family are obliged to fetch her water from the Dolau
continually, and although they certify that it is got from
there, she will not take it. She continually calls for some-
thing that is not to be had at the time ; but if at hand, she
will not take it, nor will she be willing for any body else to
partake of the same. Some persons have fallen into fits by
seeing her reviving ; and indeed it is a wondzrful sight, to
see a person (to all appearance quite dead) rising up in an
instant, without showing any previous signs of life. The
truth of the above statement can be relied on, as there are
scores of persons in the parish of Clydey, ready to verify the
same upon oath, besides the writer, who happened to be at
the Hendre on the 11th instant, when he had an opportu-
nity of talking to the family concerning the daughter.—
