REUBEN INGHAM, a boy six years of age, has died in
Manchester from a venous congestion of the brain, pro-

TRIUMPH. OF TEMPERANCE.—The lovers and advo-
cates of temperance need only look at the present size of
the Quart and Pint Measures to be convinced of the
gradual decrease of drinking in this country.
SOLDIERS who may become entitled to their discharge
while serving abroad, are, by a recent order, not to be
finally discharged in the colonies, but are to be sent home
to the United Kingdom, and then discharged.
MR. THOMAS HALL PLUMMER, a barrister, was knocked
down a few days ago as he was crossing Waterloo-place,
London, by a runaway horse and cart that had been
started by an omnibus brushing against it, and killed on
the spot.
THE FORERUNNER, African mail steamer, from Ply-
mouth for the Cape of Gocd Hope, and intermedios, put
into Falmouth on Wednesday, bore up from stress of
weather from off Sicily. She has only 16 passengers.
She reports having seen a boat, at sea, with a dead man
in her.

A BURGLAR, named Crisp, attempting to enter the
house of Mr. Bevan, a coachman residing at Edgbaston,
near Birmingham, on Thursday last, was shot by the oc-
cupier in the legs and lower part of his body, and so
seriously injured that he was obliged to be conveyed to
the hospital, where he remains.
THE BRITISH MusEum.—An interesting addition to
the catalogues of the Museum library has just been made
in the form of an exclusive catalogue of works on music
possessed by the library of the nation. The new catalogue
introduced to the reading-room is entirely in manuscript
form, and is composed of 57 volumes folio.
MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—A young man, who had
been recently stationed at a level crossing on the Glouces-
ter and Dean Forest line of railway, in Westbury-upon-
Severn, has been dashed to pieces by a train. He stood
between the two lines to signal a down train ; as he
stepped back upon the up line, a fast train struck him.

THE WESTMINSTER MAGISTRATES have committed a
low-looking fellow, calling himself Webster, for a very
impudent imposture. He went dressed as a soldier to
several military officers, pretended that he had served in
India, but was d;scharged, and that he wished to go
home to Scotland, but was deficient in part of the rail-
way fare.

RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—On Monday, on the Coventry
and Leamington Railway, the first down train was thrown
off near Kenilworth, and Daniel Mills, the driver, had
both his legs broken. The steam was instantly turned off
by the fireman, who escaped unhurt; and except a few
bruises and the fright, no injury was incurred by any of
the passengers.
MURDER.—A labouring man, named Rand, was mur-
dered on Christmas-eve at Hythe, near Southampton, for
the sake of ss. he had upon him. George Dumper, a no.
torious poacher of the neighbourhood, being suspected,
was hunted down by some country people on Sunday,
and on being taken into custody blood was found upon
his smock frock.

DEFECTIVE DRAINAGE.—MatiIda Church, aged two
months, the daughter of a shoemaker, with two other
children, have perished during the last three weeks in
one house from malignant fever, and a fourth is not ex-
pected to live many hours, arising through the defective
drainage and filthy condition of the:wretched place where
the family were residing.

PROPER.—In consequence of some observations of Mr.
Hardcastle, at the recent Bury election, Mr. Oakes, the
father of the successful candidate, sent the form.- a chal-
lenge, which Mr. Hardcastle replied to by laying the let-
ter before the magistrates, and causing Mr. Oakes to be
bound over, himself in £2OO, and two sureties of £lOO
each, to keep the peace.
FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Monday last week, a fatal
accident occurred at Tattershall station, near Lincoln,
during the hurricane. Three men were at work in the
engine shed, opposite the workshops, when, suddenly, the
shed was blown to the ground and the three men buried
in the ruins. Two of them escaped without injury ; the
third was killed on the spot.
THE LAUDER MURDER.—Williams, who is at present
in Greenlaw Gaol, charged with the murder near Lauder,
was discovered attempting suicide on Saturday. He had
his towel, handkerchief, and neckerchief tied together,
and the end fastened to the bars of his cell window,
which is some height from the ground, when his opera-
discovered from without.

A GANG OF HIGHWAYMEN infest the neighbourhood
of Penrith, and have lately made several attacks. Mr.
Bankes, an old soldier, got off by using "cut. six," and
pressing his horse so hard, that he escaped minus a coat
cape. The Rev. Mr. Rayson also escaped by putting
spurs to his horse, the robbers being obliged to content
themselves withshouting and calling "abominable names."
ALARMING ACCIDENT. —On Friday the skeleton
rafters for the new iron roof of the passenger station at
the Junction Railway, Arbroath, extending about 100
feet, fell with a tremendous crash. The individuals at
the station escaped, but Mr. Allan, the station master,
was struck on the head by one of the rafters, and severely
injured. One of the wooden sheds was completely
smashed.

THE WEATHER ASTRONOMERS.—M. Arago, the cele-
brated French astronomer, has just published a declaration
which some English almanack makers would do well to
take a note of. He protests that he never authorised one
of the many predictions which have been imputed to him,
and declares that never, be the progress of science what it
may, will learned men that are honest and careful of their
reputation hazard it by predicting the weather.
OVERLOADING OMNIBUSES.—At the York Assize,
Samuel Morrell, the driver of the omnibus from the

Asthington station of the Leeds Northern Railway, to
Ilkley, which was upset with 14 passengers inside and 33
out, was tried for the manslaughter of Mrs. Firth, who
subsequently died from the injuries received. It was
proved that the station-master superintended the loading
of the omnibus, and Morrell was thereupon acquitted.

SUICIDE.—On Saturday, the body of John .William
Tate, gardener, Shore, near Littleborough, was found in
a field near his residence. He had a gun between his
legs, and the contents appeared to have gone through his
neck. The sum of £5 6s. 6d., and a quantity of powder,
shot, and caps, were found on him, together with the
following note :—"I hope my friends will let the doctors
open me, and then my friends will know what I have
been labouring under."

SUDDEN DEATH.—An awful instance of sudden death
occurred on Monday in the booking-office of the South
Wales Railway. Harry Fussell, a horse dealer, of Bristol,
finding himself rather behind time, ran to the station, and
having asked for his ticket, was in the act of paying for it,
when he suddenly fell to the ground, and almost imme-
diately expired. He was afflicted with a disease of the
heart, and from the excitement caused by his running to
meet the train his death ensued.

FRENCH INVASION OF ENGLAND.—A letter from Rome,
dated December 2, says :—" The French garrison, now
accustomed to move by sea, talk of the facility of landing
three divisions of 30,000 each on the coasts of England,
and paying a visit to the Bank. The whole conversation
at the cafes by the officers is their fear that, while they are
protecting the priests, others will have the glory and the
spoil. This may make you laugh, but it is the animus
of the French army, and I hope your preparations are not
neglected at home."

RELIGIOUS TRACT SOCIETY.—The thirty-third anuual
meeting of the auxiliary branch of this society for the
Leicester-square district, London, was held on Tuesday,
and the chair was occupied by J. Payne, Esq., who intro-
duced the proceedings in his usual quaint style, saying
that the Religious Tract Society had a character and effect
in accordance with the initials of its title, "R. T. S." It
rested on the truth of the scripture, refutgd the tales of
superstition, rebuked the tongue of the scorner, relieved
the troubles of the sorrowful, recommended temperance
and sobriety, and reformed the tone of society.

COLONEL SIBTHORP AND HIS CONSTITUENTS.—CoI.
Sibthorp has addressed the following letter to his consti-
tuents :—" Gentlemen, whatever may be your individual
opinions of the budget introduced for the consideration of
the legislative body of the House of Commons—opinions
I in every way respect ; whatever have been the feelings I
entertained, and which I endeavoured briefly to express,
with regard to that budget—l allude more particularly to
the proposed house-tax, as well as to the proposed income-
tax, neither of which did I approve of, and in the course
of discussion and power of alteration (sic) or entire rejec-
tion, I should have endeavoured to have acted throughout
as I trust I ought to have done ; I did consider it my
bounden duty to oppose the machinations of an heteroge-
neous phalanx, packed together to gratify party purposes,
and by my humble, yet I hope independent and honest,
vote to assist in rescuing a Ministry just formed, and as
yet untried, from that conspiracy, clandestinely contrived,
and, unfortunately for this great country, so far carried
into effect."
HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS, AN INFALLIBLE
REMEDY FOR TUMOURS, SWELLINGS, AND CONTRACTED
JOINTS.—Ann Carter, housemaid, residing with a family
in Burton-crescent, London, had an immense tumour in
her right knee, which increased to such a size that she
could not bend the joint, and was in consequence obliged
to leave her situation. • Her medical attendant informed
her that there was no chance of cure, and it would
be necessary to amputate the limb. This opinion not
satisfying her, she commenced using Holloway's Oint-
ment and• Pills, and by God's blessing they have been the
means of effecting a perfect cure, and she has resumed her
former situation.
THE NURSERY AND THE SCHOOL.—The care of the

mothers and nurses, too little regarded. No mistake can

ri at Sheffield last week. There

is a large building called the Tower-wheel, which is a sort
of fortification, and is occupied by non-unionists. On
I`,Tonday night some person gained admission,and deposited

a 1-irge quantity of gunpowder in a trough attached to a
grinder's glazing apparatus. Next day, when a grinder,
named Henry Jackson, was using the glazer, some sparks
fell into the trough and exploded the powder. Jackson
was precipitated with great force across the room, and he
is a good deal burnt and bruised. The miscreant has not
been discovered.

MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE.—Ori Christmas morn
a young lady, daughter of Mr. Francis Pring, a respe

able farmer, of Awliscombe, near Honiton, Devonshire,
was accidentally shot through the head. The young lady
had celebrated Christmas eve at her father's house, with
her relatives and friends, and Christmas Day she, with
others of her friends, were engaged to s
father's house, at a farm called V'

pond at her grand-
)olston. She was

standing in the porchway with two other women, when
her cousin, a young man, accidentally discharged a gun
in the kitchen, the contents of which were lodged in
the poor young lady's head, and she instantly expired.

LANDSLIP ON THE SOUTH DEVON RAILWAY
tremendous fall of cliff took place on Wednesday on this
line, between Dawlish and Teignmouth. On the forma-
tion of the line a portion of Langstone-cliff was cut off,
and its base being undermined by the action of the water,
great fears were entertained for its safety. Tile recent
heavy rain and hurricanes increased the danger, and men
were stationed at various points to give notice immedi-
ately anything occurred. The necessity for such a course
was first experienced on Sunday, when a portion of the
cliff fell down near Holcombe tunnel. The 8 2 a.m. down
train had jest left Dawlish, but, by the promptness of the
man on the look-out, it was stopped in time, or there
would have been a fearful crash. A large body of men
was soon obtained, and the line was cleared in time for
the 12 7up train. On Wednesday, however, there was a
terrific fall of cliff; at about half-past one o'clock several
tons of Longstone-cliff fell with a tremendous crash, co-
vering the line for some distance, and rendering all traffic
impossible. The passengers by all the trains were obliged
to be conveyed from Demolish to Teignmouth, and vice
versa", in cabs, omnibuses, and every other description of
vehicle which the company could obtain. The telegraphic
wires were broken, and all communication with the sta-
tions below was thus, for the time, prevented. It is sup-
posed that the storm on Sunday night hastened the de-
molition of the cliff, as it visited the neighbourhood with
great severity, stones weighing half a cwt. each being
carried up into Teignmouth by the force of the waves.

TAX ON STEAM ENGINES.—If any chancellor of ale
exchequer wants to know how he may apply th principle
of direct taxation, without undergoing .n the odium of
the ten-pound householders, we gi.e him a hint—tax all
steam-engines at a fixed roc per horse-power. Not any
tax can be more def.,,ittale in principle. The active work-
ing horse-power of the steam-engine represents actual
work done—work done without the consumption of tax
paying articles. The engine consumes no beer, wine,
spirits, tea, tobacco, hay, corn, meat, clothing, &c. ; it is
made of iron, untaxed ; it consumes coal, untaxed. Why
should Peter Brown, the butcher, pay yearly for the horse,
which he uses in his trade, £l. Ss. 9d., and Mr. John

Bright, of Rochdale, pay
_not one farthing on all the

. .
horse-power that moves his factories ? Lei all carriers,
who pay taxes, ask—Why tax us, and not the horse-power
of the steam-engine, that, on a railway, drags along hun-
dreds of tons of goods and merchandise ? Let all brewers,
bakers, tavern-keepers, and the huudreds of other trades-
men, now paying horse duty, ask their very particular
friends, the free-trade members of parliament,—Whv tax
us for horse-power, necessary for the conducting of our
business, and leave the working horse-power of every
steam-engine untaxed ? We know the objection to tax
the horse-power of the steam•engine would increase the
cost of production. The same objection is applicable to
all taxes paid ; and, if admitted as valid, would warrant
the total abolition of all taxes. It is generally confessed
that any scheme of direct taxation, based on exemptions,
is " confiscation ;" those who think so will do well to re-
member that to tax Peter Brown, the butcher, for his one
horse, £l. Ss. 9d., and to leave Mr, Bright's iron horses
untaxed, is not only " confiscation ;" it is also oppression,
and that, too, of the worst kind—the oppression of the
comparatively poor man, for the benefit of the really rich
man. The free-trade manufacturers of Manchester have,
by their measures, forced a more general adoption of
direct taxation. It is but fair, then, that they should pay
their just proportion of taxation, and that they cannot do,
so long as the horse of the butcher is taxed, and the horse-
power of the engine is untaxed.—Richard Oasller.

considering the short time (six weeks) the ladies were
engaged in preparing for the sale. The articles that re-
mained unpurchased at eight o'clock were disposed of by
auction.

SEVERE STORMS IN NORTH WALES.—The violent gales
which have been so prevalent in most parts of the king-
dom have been severely felt in many parts of North
Wales. In the neighbourhoods of Ruthin and Denbigh
the country is one mass of water, the high winds being
accompanied by heavy and almost incessant rains. The
beautiful vale of Clwyd is so inundated as to resemble a
large lake ; and in the vicinity of Holywell the depth of
water is such that, not only boats but large vessels might
sail upon its surface. A most terrific gale has been ex-
perienced at Comarvon. The force of the tide was such
that the massive wall which forms the quay was forced
down in five places, huge stones being scattered in all
directions, and the spray dashing furiously up to the walls
of the ancient castle. Many houses were partially un-
roofed, and windows in some instances were blown in.
The landing-stage of the pier was detached from its posi-
tion, and now floats like a raft on the Menai. A vessel of
900 tons' burthen, the Onward, from Liverpool for New
Orleans, in ballast, has been driven ashore off the bar,
her sails being blown to atoms. On Tuesday, the weather
had somewhat moderated, but on Wednesday it was blow-
ing strongly, accompanied by heavy rain.

BIRKENHEAD BUILDING SOCIETY.—We noticed some
weeks since the establishment of a building society in Bir-
kenhead, and the sudden rivalry with which it had been
met by the attempt to form two other societies of almost
a similar character, one of them indeed being identical in
plan, and the other upon the permanent system. The
original society has, however, maintained its ground, and
having received the support of many of the most influen-
tial inhabitants of the neighbourhood, bids fair to become
a valuable means of aiding in the improvement of the
place. Owing to the rivalry before mentioned, it has
attained the distinctive appellation of the Birkenhead and
Wallasey Benefit, Building Society, having received a con-
siderable amount of support from the latter place. It has
already announced it first public meeting for the payment
of subscriptions for to-morrow, (Wednesday,) at the
Castle hotel, and it is confidently hoped that, now the
first step has been taken to bring these valuable institu-
tions into active operation, the town will experience a re-
vival from that dulness into which, from a reaction from
previous over-speculation, it has so long been plunged.
There are, however, other signs of improvement in the
gradual letting of houses, and the increase of inhabitants
s shown in the additional receipts at the several ferries.

A VISIT TO THE BATHS OF SIOUT.—We went to the
baths to be sweated, and scraped, and rubbed, and lathered,
and soused, in company with the respectabilities of Siout,
brown-skinned, hairy, pot-bellied gentlemen, who sub-
mitted to the operation with a gravity and sedateness at
once admirable and ludicrous. Our presence perhaps put
them on stilts ; but it was evident that, as they lay like
porpoises about on the slushed benches, enjoying a gentle
titillation from the horny palm of the bath servant, or
go
submitting head, back, and breast to the cunning razor,
to to cafes, nor all English-
men they felt what important people they were : citizens of a
place which possessed a real bath, with bararah, faskiyeh,
and, above all, a scalding Mekhtas, the summtm bontan of
the Egyptian bather; for not ail the race of Pharoah

one of these lnxurious establishments; Manfalfoot, which
now washes cold, not hot, having been deprived of its
bath by the greedy liver. Girgeh and Keneh, and one
ether place, I believe, are alone equally fortunate with
Siout. The barber, whose assistance we requested, was a
hugely sagacious fellow, with seventeen hairs on his chin,
which lie boasted never felt the razor. He had travelled
na far as Manfalfoot, and had beard that, at Cairo, there
were five hundred palaces, three hundred mosques, and
two hundred baths. He had heard, likewise, that the
English came down to the mighty sea in ships, that the
Muscovites were as numerous as flies in Egypt :
hyperboli-
cal barber ! this was said to astonish the natives, that the
French had chosen Sultana Iloreeyeh, which, being inter-
preted, is Queen Liberty, to rule over them. A variety of
other interesting facts were buzzing about tle uninhabited
regions of this shaver's head, but we could not stay to
hear all his stories. In the ante-chamber, whilst we
were being kneaded, as if for dougb, by a coaxing lawin-
gee, an old gentleman, who had doubtless been soaking
for hours, came and sat down, wrapped in a sheet,
opposite to us, and looking with simple astonishment in
our faces. At length he murmured, " Where is the
country you come from ? where, where ? Where are the
ships that brought you ? where, where ?" We thought
he wanted to enter into conversation; but. on our

- -
speaking he went on with his murmured soliloquy: "Fain
