for nearly two years.

A " DEAF AND DUMB SWINDLER," in Newcastle gaol,
was dipped the other dry in a hot water bath, seven feet
deep. Not knowing the depth, and finding that he was

THE Observer " understands" that the government
have lately been making inquiries at the various railways
as to the facilities which could be afforded for the con-
veyance of troops, horses, and artillery, in the event of
any sudden emergency.
SAD ACCIDENT.—The eldest son of Colonel Eden,
while out shooting at Batt!esden, on Saturday,' was acci-
dentally shot in the leg by his companion, a son of Sir
John Walsbam, and a main artery having been wounded,
he died in a few hours.

THE Nautical Standard announces that the much-
vaunted French steam-ship Napoleon, the " model

machinery as considerably to damp the sanguine expecta-
tions formed regarding her.

AT THE DERBY POLICE-OFFICE the other day, the

he had such a wicked son.

mental excitement, caused by a quarrel."
To CURE CHILBLAINS.—Soak the feet in warm water,
made quite salt, then rub the parts affected with palm
oil, and hold the feet to the fire, drying the oil in. One
application will usually cure, and two trials are said to
produce, in any case, a certain cure.
REMARKABLE ABSTINENCE. Mrs. Hannah Harvey
died at Eggington, a few days since, aged 60. For full
six weeks she subsisted on cold water, excepting half a
tea-cup of milk received once, and three or four tea-
spoonsful of tea received as many times during the six
weeks.

ARCTIC EXPEDITION.—There is no doubt that another
expedition will shortly he fitted out for the purpose of
conveying supplies to the ships already engaged in the
exploratory service in the Arctic Seas. It is probable
Commander Inglefield will be engaged in it, with the
rank of captain.
A MOST DARING ROBBERY was perpetrated in Not-
tingham on Friday. In one of the busiest thoroughfares
of that town, in the open day, three ruffians knocked
down an elderly person, the bookkeeper to a lace firm,
and stole from a bag which he carried £2O in silver and
£5 in gold.
A FRENCH NURSERY MAID, named Lafrille, while
in the act of hailing a cab in the New Road, London, the
other day, fell down dead.—Another French woman,
Sarah Lacohee, residing in Marylebone, went to bed
quite well on New Year's Eve, and on the following
morning was found dead.

THE BOSTON TOWN COUNCIL had a dispute, at their
last meeting, with respect to 200 copies of the sermon
preached by the vicar on the occasion of the death of the
Duke of Wellington. They have been printed, it seems,
at the municipal cost, arid now the corporation does not
know what to do with them.

NATIONAL EDUCATION.—A royal letter is in course of
being forwarded by the Archbishop of Canterbury (by
command of her Majesty) to the clergy of the various
parishes in England and Wales, ordering collections to be
made on behalf of the National Society for the Education
of the Poor in the Principles of the Established Church.
THE BTH HUSSARS.—The Nottingham correspondent
of the Times reports a fracas between a number of the
mechanics of that town and a party of the Bth Hussars,
said to have taken place on Sunday evening last and the
three following days. Beyond a few broken heads, no
damage was done. The local papers are silent on the
subject.
HORRIBLE DEATH IN ARGYLESHIRE.—On Thursday,
George Campbell, a farm servant, was found lying on the
road under his horse, which was upon its back, with the
cart upturned. No outward marks of violence were upon
his body, saving a mark upon his breast, cqused no doubt
by the severity of the struggle to obtain his freedom.—
Scotsman.

THE CARRIER FROM BRAENIAR TO PERTH, overtaken
by a storm at Cairmwell one day last week, was obliged
to abandon his carriage in the snow. Some days after-
wards the van was dug out of the snow, and there was
found the faithful dog, alive, and in charge of his
master's property, which be bad watched for two days
and two nights.

EXECUTIONS.—The execution of Waddington, for the
murder of his illegitimate child at Sheffield, took place at
York, on Saturday week.—The execution of Henry
Horler, for the murder of his wife, took place at the Old
Bailey, London, on Monday.—The execution of Barbour
was postponed for further inquiries, which resulted in
confirmation of his guilt.
A SrgANGE DISEASE has made its appearance amongst
children in some parts of the fens. It is not contagious,
but appears to arise from atmospheric causes, or from the
condition of the earth. The disease is accompanied with
great prostration of strength and glandular swelling, and
those attacked recover very slowly from the effects ; some
have been taken off very suddenly.

MELANCHOLY OECURRENCE.—A young man, a pas-
senger on board the Star steamer to Gravesend, was lean-
ing over the bulwark, pointing out to his sister the ship
in which they were going to emigrate the next day, when
he fell overboard, and though ropes and buoys were
thrown out, and a boat lowered, he never rose again to
the surface. The distress of the sister may be imagined.

SHIPBUILDING ON THE WEAR.—During the past year
142 vessels, of an average tonnage of 3988, and of an
aggregate of 56,645 tons, have been launched from the
building-yards on the Wear, showing an increase on the
preceding year of 4,822 tons, and a decrease of four ves-
sels ; and an increase in those years on the aggregate
amount of tonnage of 12,312 tons,orupwards of 25 per cent.

ROBBERY BY A FOOTMAN.—On Tuesday, a man ser-
vant absconded from St. John's-terrace, Regent's Park,
London, carrying off with him several dozens of silver
spoons, three forks, a silver mug, three silver waiters,
and several other articles of plate, marked with crest,
" An Indian kneeling, and presenting a sword ;" a quan-
tity of other plate, without the crest, and a quantity of
apparel.
DISASTROUS ACCIDENT.—On Thursday, a serious acci-
dent happened to Miss Ricardo, the daughter of Mr.
Ricardo, M.P., at Windsor. Two ponies, which she was
driving in a carriage, were frightened by a railway whistle
and ran away. Miss Ricardo was thrown out with consi-
derable violence, but escaped any serious injury. The
lady's maid had her leg entangled with the hind wheel or
springs : it was broken below the knee, and had to be
amputated, but she died on Saturday morning.
AN EMIGRANT POISONED.—Tbe Glasgow Citizen re-
lates a lamentable occurrence which took place in that
city on Saturday week. A respectable young man, who
had engaged a berth at Liverpool for Australia, feeling ill,
went to a neighbouring apothecary's shop, where a young
medical student had been left temporarily in the absence
of the proprietor. In a mistake the young man got a
mixture of belladona, or deadly nightshade, and monks-
hood or wolfabane. The patient expired in the course of
an hour.

UNCLE TOM.—A New RENDERING.—A niece of the
Rev. Dr. Thomas Guthrie of Edinburgh was collecting in
Brechin last week for the Uncle Tom Penny Offering, and
in going to an old woman said, " Well, Clemie, I am col-
lecting for Uncle Tom, and its just a penny." The ancient
dame had never heard of Mrs. Beecher Stowe's famous
hero ; so she held up her hands in amazement, exclaiming
—" Preserve's fat in a' the earth's corn' ower yer Uncle
Tam, that ye're needing' to seek a penny till

ACCIDENT.—A melancholy accident re-
cently
was enjoying a ride, when she ?vas thrown violently and
broke her jaw. She was rem?ved to her hotel, where
medical assistance was called in, and the sufferer was
doing as well as could be expected. At four, a.m., of
the 29th, she awoke her nurse, and, feeling unwell, her
medical man was sent for, but before he arrived she was
a corpse. The lady was itt her 33d year.

TERMINABLE ANNUITIES.-A memorial, signed by the
chairmen of 61 leading assurance-offices, representing a
capital of £100,000,000, has been presented by a deputa-
tion to Lord Aberdeen, setting forth the glaring injustio
of the operation of the income-tax on the pu chasers o
terminable annuities.

THE HUMAN FAMILY.—From a statistical paper, just
published, it appears that the the human family numbers
700,000,000 ; and that its annual loss by death is
18,000,000, which produces 624,000 tons of animal matter
which, in turn, generates, by decomposition, 9,000,000,000
cubic feet of gases, which are cleared away by the atmo-
sphere by yezetable matter decomposing and assimilating
them for their own uses.

SINGULAR ROBBERY.—Joseph Rogers, a miller, has
absconded from Whitehaven, charged with stealing a
cash-box containing upwards of £9O. He is a native of
Egremont, in Cumberland, and on New Year's-eve was
seen in a small plantation near that place looking
anxiously about him, but, finding that he was observed,
he made a przcipitate retreat, and on the spot where he
had been standing was discovered between £5O and £6O
in gold and silver.

MELANCHOLY CIRCUMSTANCE.—On the 17th Decem-
ber, Duncan Brodie, aged 21, left his father's house at
Gienfalloch (head of Lochlomond),. for the purpose of
visiting a near relation at Lochgoilhead. He crossed
Lochlong, at the ferry of Colless9n, in good health ; but
in passing through the glen at the back of " The Cob..
bier," it is supposed he had been overtaken by the storm,
as he was found dead on the 2nd instant, within a mile or
so of Lochgoilhead.

TERRIBLE EFFECTS OF YELLOW FEVER.—In conse-
quence of the awful mortality amongst the officers and
crew of the Dauntless, 33, screw-frigate, Captain Hal-
stead, at Barbadoes, the letters from that ship are com-
paratively few ; but those which have come to hand are
heart-rending in the extreme, for up to the 16th of De-
cember no less than 120 out of a ship's company of 330
had been attacked, and of these 59 had died ; the officers
being the greatest sufferers.

A DISAPPOINTED BRIDEGROOM. A young couple
about to be married, and twice proclaimed, had fallen
out, when the woman prohibited the third proclamation
of the bans. The youth, however, not satisfied with this
summary turnoff, very cowardly attacked his intended,
assaulting her in such a ferocious manner that several of
her ribs are said to be broken. The case is at present
under the authorities, and it is not unlikely that he may
pass the time proposed for the honey-moon in a very
different quarter.—Fifeshire Journal.
A JUDGE COMMITTED.—At Bow-street Police-office,
last week, John William Molloy, who described himself
as a late colonial judge, and looked about sixty years of
age, was committed for trial for obtaining money on the
security of a forged cheque. The prisoner said he was
formerly Solicitor-General at Bermuda, and subsequently
(in 1825) judge of the Supreme Court at Newfoundland,
to which he was appointed by Lord Bathurst. He con-
fessed that he had been committed several times for mis-
demeanours, and once to three months' imprisonment.
A STAFFORDSHIRE GENTLEMAN, writing home from
Sydney, says :—Our gold discoveries appear at length to
have produced some effect on the people of the United
Kingdom. It is sincerely to be hoped that great numbers
of our countrymen at home will turn their attention to
this wonderful country. My firm persuasion is, that
there is abundant room and most remunerative employ-
ment for hundreds of thousands of able-bodied working
men and women for many years to come. Wages of all
kinds are rising fearfully ; female servants, £2O to £25 a
year and beard.

IMMURING OF A YOUNG LADY IN A PUSEYITE CON-
VENT.—The Morning Advertiser mentions a case in
which a young lady of fortune, the daughter of one of the
partners in an eminent metropolitan monetary establish-
ment, has been induced, by Tractarian influence, to enter
a convent belonging to Dr. Posey, in Regent's-park. Her
father has revoked a great portion of his will, but allows
her £lOO a year, and of this £360 is claimed by the lady
superior. The young lady, it is stated, has now no other
dress than a coarse linsey-woolgey gown, in which she is
daily to be seen scrubbing the floors of the convent.

A DRUNKARD'S REVENGE..--One Peter Carroll, a
strange, drunken fellow, has been committed for trial at
the assizes, on a charge of scuttling a steamboat. Turned
out of a public-house in the Low-street. Sunderland, he
threatened to make the landlord rue. Shortly afterwards
he got on board a steamboat in the Wear, of which the
landlord was part owner, and, it is alleged, drew up a plug
or tap in the bottom. He then returned to shore. The
engineman and stoker, when they went on board, found
the vessel sinking, and were glad to retreat with their
lives. In a few minutes she went down.—Gateshead
Observer.

QUART AND PINT BOTTLES.—On Saturday, at the
Brentford petty sessions, William Bayliss, landlord of the
Railway Hotel. at Twickenham, appeared to answer an
information laid by the inspector of weights and measures,
for selling a certain quantity of beer in quart and pint
bottles which were not of the imperial measure. The
bench said, as hundreds of people, with their eyes wide
open, were in the habit of purchasing these bottles, well
knowing they did not contain the full measure, they
should not convict the defendant. The agents of the
brewers who supplied the publicans were the parties in
fault, if any.—Daily News.

THE MISSES SHARPLEY.—The case of these two un-
fortunate young women, who attempted, some months
ago, to starve themselves to death rather than apply to
the parochial authorities of Marylebone for relief, has
again been brought painfully before the public. For the
last three or four weeks they have been in Windsor Union
workhhouse, and on Wednesday they were taken before
Captain Seymour, one of the county magistrates, ciarged
with refusing to make a shirt, when asked to do so by the
matron, acting under the Board of Guardians. Having
nothing to say in their defence, they were committed to
Reading Gaol for fifteen days, with hard labour.—Daily
News.

A NUGGET FOR THE QUEEN.—Among the many spe-
cimens of gold on board the steamer Australian, arrived
at Plymouth, the finest is a mass of ore, weighing 340
ounces, called the " Royal Victoria Nugget of Australia."
which has been forwarded by gentlemen in Victoria,
under charge of the Admiralty agent, as a present to her
Majesty the Queen. This splendid specimen of virgin
gold was found at the Bendigo Diggings, in the beginning
of September, and was forwarded to Melbourne for sale
by a person who is said to have purchased it from the
finder for £l,lOO. It was advertised for sale by auction ;
but, before the day of sale, was sold privately to a gentle-
man connected with the local government for £1,500.
DISCOVERY OF OLD COINS.—An old cottage on a
farm at Tenter-hill, in Whittingham, a portion of the
glebe of Woodplumpton Church, was lately undergoing
some repairs, when the workpeople, in removing the
thatch, came to a piece of old woollen cloth, containing
a large number of silver coins. They are 301 in number,
and comprise crowns, halfcrowns, shillings, and sixpences,
of the reigns of Philip and Mary, Elizabeth, James 1.,
and Charles 1., Sovereigns of England, and some Spanish
coins of the reign of Philip IV. From the circumstance
of none of the coins being of later date than the reign of
Charles 1. it is conjectured that the hoard had been con-
cealed by some careful housewife during the troubled
times that marked the later years of the reign of the first
Charles.

TELEGRAPH LINES.—The extent of telegraphic com-
munication in operation at the beginning of the present
year may be estimated at nearly 40,000 miles. Of this
amount there were nearly 4,000 miles in Great Britain,
of which 100 miles only were underground, with about
400 or 500 miles in course of construction in England,
Scotland, and Ireland, and as many more projected. In
America there were 20,000 miles of telegraph completed
and in operation, with 10,000 more in process of con-
struction. Russia has just commenced her system of
telegraphs, between St. Petersburgh, Moscow, and Cra-
cow, and the ports of the Baltic and the Black Seas.
About 4,000 miles are about to be constructed in India.
The only unsupplied portions that will soon present them.
salves on a telegraphic map of the world will be Australia,
Africa, and China.

A GHOST.—For two or three nights, a large crowd of
people assembled in the Murraygate, Dundee, standing
for hours together gazing at an old building, because of
a report that the house was haunted, and the ghost had
both been heard and seen. A member of the force bad
been induced to go and examine the house the other
night. lie carried a lighted candle in his hand, and
when he reached the top of the stairs, some swaggish
current of air blew out the light, and down came Dog-
berry in a state of the greatest consternation, and re-
ported that the ghost had blown the candle out. The
crowd believed it. Next night the house was again
searched, but no spectre crossed the floor; it was deemed,
however, judicious to board up every crevice, and nail
down the windows, and barricade the door.

e
cavating for an artificial lake at Mr. Broad's pleasure
gardens, on the margin of Dane's Moss, the proprietor
has discovered an ancient stone pavement, five feet from
the surface, under a peat or moss, upon a little gravel or
fine sea sand. This pavement appears to be in good
preservation, and evenly laid. The stones vary in size,
and are similar in form to those common in our streets,
but are of a white hard nature, and when broken are
something like the spar-stone of Derbyshire, but they
are apparently of a different kind to any stone in the
neighbourhood of Macclesfield. Many different kinds of
pebbles have been found ; also a very large tree root,
during the past few
with a small embankment around it, on which the pave-
ment was laid. It remains for the.o naangtthai antiquaries atsroui erirvte soiwe

EXTRAORDINARY MARRIAGE.—A female of the sect
of Johanna Southcote was married at St. Peter's, \Val-
worth. on Monday week, to a priest of the same per-
suasion, when an extraordinary procession to the church
door took place. Some of the males wore jackets of light
material, others a species of coronet, and several singular-
looking caps, while around the waist, and across the shoul-
ders of most were polished leather, and other bands and

one for each of the twelve tribes of Israel, one of the sun,
and one of the moon and stars. In the midst of these
was a sort of shepherd's crook ; and the bridegroom, who,
together with his companion, headed the procession, bore
on his shoulder a species of mace, surmounted by a crim-
son velvet cap with gold fringe.

AMERICAN SOOTHING SYRUP.
FOR CHILDREN CUTTING THEIR TEETH.
NOTWITHSTANDING the number of cheap pre-
parations that have latterly been forced upon the public
by parties jealous of the great success of the original and highly
valuable preparation, Mrs.
JOHNSON'S
AMERICAN
SOOTHING SYRUP still standsunrivalled,fromthEeßsliCmApPe
fact that it contains no narcotic nor any dangerous ingredient
whatever, while opiates are the foundation of all the recent
imitations. This invaluable preparation has preserved hun-
dreds of Children when thought past recovery from Convulsions
arising from painful dentition. As soon as the Syrup is rubbed
on the gums the child will be relieved, the gums cooled, and
inflammation reduced. It is as innocent as efficacious, and so
pleasant that no child will refuse to let its gums be rubbed with
it. Parents should be very particular to ask for Mrs. JOHN-
SON'S AMERICAN SOOTHING SYRUP, and to notice that the
names of BARCLAY AND SONS, 95, Farringdon-street, London,
affixed .
