COMING EVENT.—The well-informed court correspond-
ent of the Cheltenham Looker-on says; " It is whispered,
thuugh with an air of the greatest mystery, and with a
secrecy such as exists only among " maids of honour," that
her Majesty's accouchment may be expected about the first
week in December.

COWES.—Since the Earl of Durham arrives here, h
health has been gradually improving, and Ire is beyond a
question decidedly better. Lady Durham, who on her lain
ing from Dover, from being up all night and the effects of a
a ovage, looked as ill as if she had just left a sick bed, is no
quite recovered.

LOUGH CORRIB. —The closing in of the Wood Quay an'
Terreyland embankment, and sinking of the Terryland river
has had the effect of draining off the water as far as Castle
gar and that neighbourhood, adding a plain two and a hal
miles in length to the suburbs of Galway.—Mayo Telegraph

From the experience had, there seems very little doubt b
that wood pavements will come into general use in the cat
tal and all great towns. The easiness of draught, the a
sence of noise, the exceedingly small quantity of wear al
tear, give it a superiority over every kind of paving yet us,
for carriage roads.

HANOVER, JUNE 24.—Dr. Graefe has arrived from Berli
and it is positively affirmed that he will certainly perform t
operation on the eyes of the Crown Prince. His Roy
Highness has decidedly expressed his resolution to submit
the operation now. Some apartments in the prince's sur
mer residence (George's Park), have been assigned to I
Grade during his stay here.

LARGE STEAMER.—Where the wonders of steam are to
stop no one' can determine. The same day which saw the
Archimedes pass the quays of Greenock also witnessed the
first trial of the Achilles, previous to her taking her place on
the station for which she had been built, between the Clyde
and Liverpool. This splendid ship, built by Messrs. Steele
and Co., of this port, is about 1000 tons burden, and has en-
gines, by Messrs. Caird and Co., also of Greenock, of larger
size than the Great Western. Although the day was unfa-
vourable, blowing a gale, the speed of the ship was between
fourteen and fifteen miles an hour through the water. This
extraordinary speed was accomplished by the engines, which,
have a stroke of seven feet, making nineteen and twenty re-
volutions per minute with the greatest readiness.—Greenock
Advertiser.

THE SEASON.—TEE WEATHER.—We greatly lament to
say that the weather has just set in in these parts with an
aspect most unfavourable. Boisterous winds accompanied
by drenching rains have prevailed for several days, and

certainly the visitation could not have arrived at a more un-

to suffer quickly from the wet. Already we
have seen some
laid that we fear will not rise again. The fruits of the season
come slowly to maturity. We believe it was only on Satur-
day last that green peas appeared in our market in quantity,
and we are told that the fly has got imongst the apples, and
greatly curtailed the product. The prospect is discouraging,
but let us nevertheless firmly trust to the goodness and mercy
of Providence for relief in due time.—Lancaster Gazette.
CHINESE SQUADRON.—The following men-of-war com-
pose the squadron that is to • be employed in the operations
against the Chinese, under the command of Admiral the
Hon. G. Elliott :—Algerine 10, Alligator 26, Blenheim 74,
Blonde 42, Childers 16, Columbine 18, Conway 26, Cruizer
16, Druid 44, Favourite 18, Herald 26, Hyacinth 18, Larne
18, Melville 74, Modeste 18, Nimrod 20, Perolus 16, Pylades
18, Volage 26, Wanderer, Wellesley 74. Two large war-
steamers of the East India Company service, the Queen and
Sesostris, and several other steamers from Bombay and Cal-
. cutta, were to be added to the above force, nearly the whole
of which were to proceed to China.

CURB FOR HYDROPHOBI A.—Dr.Bellinaye has I.
in The Times an account of an Austrian schoolmaster
discovered a remedy for this appalling disease, whi
been examined by the government, and, as far as the (
'Bents have gone, proved to he successful. The rof
is Gentiana Cruciata, taken internally in doses propo
to the violence of the malady ; but there is also a
lancing of the frcenum under the tongue, whc-,
per first exhibits itself. The discharge of a viscous ,
matter is said to be essential to the cure; which is, howevei
effected after the most dreadful symptoms.
A bod PE
Lancashire can tell you ; and if you be not in bar,
cashire, I can : it is laudanum or opium dismuised in treach
and termed, in other places, " Godfrey's ardial." It is
vain to remonstrate with the poor on this practice—thi
able
always as
ad dk you what they are to do, and think it unanswE
to ," A pen'oth of peace is worth a penny_" -
are the constitutions of the poor sapped and stupefied even
in the cradle, and all the wisdom of England cannot point out
any remedy, but that of taking off the violent pressure on the
means of existence.—Howitt in Tait's Edinburgh Maga-
zine. Is it possible that a man of Mr. Howitt's information
can never yet have heard of the far-famed Manchester medi-
cine? " What that is, any man in Lancashire can tell him,"
and, indeed, we believe, in any part of the United Kingdom.
For it is an indisputable fact, that, since the commencement
of the present year, its sale (extensive as it has been for the
last half century) has increased beyond all former precedent.
It were almost superfluous to add, that we allude to that
nice and inestimable preparation, ATKINSON:S INSAI,TS'
PRESERVATIVE, which so far from "sapping the constitu-
tion," and " stupefying " the 'senses—like those dangerous
compounds, whose basis is laudanum or other opiates—allays
irritation, and assuages pain in the mildest and most innox-
ious manner; thus affording real comfort, both to the anxious
mother and her suffering babe.
