on the 6th of October another lump of virgin silver,

FEARFUL MASSACRES on SU 1P89.11{ D.

The following two communications appeared on the
notice board of the Exchange News Room, this morning,
about II o'clock :

"Londonderry, Dec. 3d, 1848.
" The Sligo steamer Londonderry, from Siigo to Li-
verpool, has just put in here, with 53 people dead, said to

of money.

twenty years since he had a quarrel with another (Polish)
artillery officer, whom he challenged to fight with pistols.
They met. On the ground they tossed for the first shot,
and Bern lost. His adversary took aim, fired, and Bern
fell. The officer, believing him dead, prepared to quit
the field, but Bern, who had received the ball in his right
hip, turned over on his left side, raised himself on his el-
'w and said. " Sr--- Tal,

shot through the heart. Bern lingered long untie) the
wound. The ball could not be extracted. During twenty
years he suffered excruciating torments from its presence,
and at last resolved on proceeding to London to consult
the faculty there. He was told that the operation, to be
successful, must be a very painful one. He at once said
that he would submit to it. He was accordingly thrown
by ether into a state of

stupor, and the operation com-
menced. The circular saw had indented the bone round
the bullet, when the intense agony roused the patient.
The operator became alarmed, but Bern reassured him,
called for his pipe, lighted it, and commenced smoking
while the operation was resumed, and was crowned with
complete success. The ball was extracted, and Bem per-
fectly recovered.—Paris letter.

THE INSURRECTION AT ROME

In the STANDARD of last week we gave the particulars
of the insurrectionary proceedings of the populace of
Rome, to obtain from the Pope a democratic ministry.
This the Pope yielded, but since then, it has been ru-
moured, that his holiness, after being kept prisoner in his
own palace, had succeeded in effecting his escape.
Accounts from Rome of the 23d state that the report of
the Pope's flight was premature, his holiness not having
quitted the city up to that date ; but whether he was a
willing occupant of his palace, or detained there by a con-

tinual- watch upon his movements, does not appear.
Certain it is, that every arrangement was made to aid the
escape of the Sovereign Pontiff, should his holiness be
anxious to avail himself of the opportunity for so doing.
The new ministry had issued their political programme,
which declared their adhesion to the principles contained
in• the resolutions of June s—resolutions that had been

received by the deliberativ
enthusiasm.

a assembly with so muc

The French government had determined upon despatch-
ing 35(V) troops in six steamers to the assistance of the
Pope. for his personal safety. This has been asserted, by
the Reforms, an opposition journal, to be only a stroke of
policy, on the part of General Cavaignac, for gaining po-
pularity wi.h a view to the Presidential election ; but the
fact that such a demonstration is looked upon as likely to
gain popularity proves that the assistance thus proffered
on the part of France, will be pushed forward vigorously
to its os

nsible purpose

In the mean time there is good reason to hope that
other means of succour to the Pontiff have already anti-
cipated the French government. The news from Naples
states that the misfortunes of the Pope have been expected
there for some time, and that Admiral Parker had a fort-
night before despatched her Majesty's steam-sloop Bull-

dog, Commander A. C. Key, to Civita Vecchia, to

FRANCE.

The Red Republicans are outrageous against General
Cavaianac for having dispatched an expedition to Civita
Vecchia to rescue Pio Nono, in case his personal safety
should be endangered.
The Era Nouvelle says:—" The silence observed on
Saturday in the National Assembly by M. de Lamartine
and M. Francois Arago is significative. It was attempted
to induce M. de Lamartine to speak. M. Gamier Pages
said to him—' I shall put interpollations to you, and you
must speak.' M. de Lamartine replied—' I will not do
so, for neither myself nor the Executive Committee is in-
volved in the affair ; get out of it as well as you can.'
M. de Lamartine also declared that he was far from enter-
taining towards the Chief of the Executive Government
any feeling of hostility or ill-will."

In the sitting of the National Assembly on Wednesday,
the Minister for Foreign Affairs, and the Minister for the
Interior, gave certain explanations as to the alleged mea-
sures of severity which had recently been adopted in the
treatment of Spanish refugees. It was reported on the
Bourse that in consequence of the recent arrivals from
Rome the expedition to Civita Vecchia would be stopped.

On Tuesdary, upwards of 1200 National Guards; With
the colonel at their head, had an audience of General Ca-
vaignac in his garden, congratulating him upon his de-
fence on Saturday last, and expressing the confidence they
entertained of his character and conduct. Gen. Cavaignac
replied in a few words of gratitude for the sentiments pro-
claimed, and the parties separated.
The Paris journal, the Reforme, hints rather signifi-
cantly, that the order given by Gen. Cavaignac, to for-
ward 3500 troops to the assistance of the Pope, was
merely an electioneering manoeuvre, to forward his ambi-

tion in obtaining the presidency.
The number of burials in Paris, which amounted to
21,505 in 1845, rose in 1846 to 23,822, and to 24,187 in

TUESDAY MORNING, DEC.

UNDER the head

Manchester Guardian gives us notice of some
rumours, "to the effect that the honourable member
for the West Riding of Yorkshire has prepared,
and intends to submit to an early public meeting
in Manchester, a scheMe of finance, by the adop-
tion of which the Government is to be enabled to
save from ten to twelve millions in the national ex-
penditure." Our contemporary conjectures that
this large saving is to he effected by a reduction of

FATAL AFFRAY.- -Gll Saturdays a band of Irish navies,
employed on the Clydesdale Junction Railway, went into
a public-house in the village of Mddingston., parish cf
Bothwell, where they had a quantity of whisky. While
together in the house referred to, it appears that a dispute
had arisen betwixt them, and that ultimately they cime

to blows. One man, named Joseph Wilson, was so
severely injured in the scuffle that he died from the effects
of his wounds upon Wednesday.
• ELECTRIC LIGHT.—The first experiment of this light
out of doors was made on Tuesday evening, ia front of
the National Gallery. The apparatus, of which the most
conspicuous part was the concave reflector behind the
light, was so placed as to illumine the whole of Trafalgar-
square, the rays reaching as far as Northumberland
House. If the illumination can be sustained, there is no
other means of lighting the streets that can at all be com-
pared with this electric light.
The Sheffield Times says that that town is fast losing
all its trade, and though many leave it no one comes to it
as a residence. Nothing answers there—everything fails
—though the town is beautifully situated, with plenty of
canal and railway accommodation. If our contemporary
bad not been such a free-trader, he would have found out
that the foreigners have taken away the prosperity of the
town, and would have put the saddle on the right horse
by blaming free trade.

PRACTICAL JOKING AT THE LONDON STOCK Ex-
CHANGE.—An acc;dent has just occurred at the Stock
Exchange which it may be hoped will check the silly love
of practical jokes which has so long disgraced that esta-
blishment, and which is a reproach to the vigilance of the
committee. One of the members attacked yesterday in
sport of this kind was thrown down and received hurts
which rendered him insensible. Upon medical aid being
sent for it was found he had been seriously injured.—
Times.

MONSTER TORTOISE.—Captain Dady, of the Duke, a
large vessel, owned by Messrs. Hoghton and Co., of
Liverpool, and now delivering a guano cargo in the Junc-
tion Dock, has exhibited within the last few days a tor-
toise of extraordinary dimensions, being about five feet in
length, of the capture of which, upon an island in the
Pacific Ocean, a wonderful account is given. The crea-
ture lived three months after it was taken on board the
Duke, and used to move upon the deck with the captain
and two or three others of the crew upon its back, Hutt

A VERY QUESTIONABLE COMPLIMENT.—The Man-
chester Guardian, in noticing the appointment of Mr.
Barkly, M.P., to the Governorship of British Guiana, in
the room of Sir J. Light, very innocently remarks :

" Mr. Barkly was not a snpporLr of the pi:esent govern-
ment. and his Edpointment cannot, therefore, be attri-
buted to political favouritism." Our contemporary evi-
dently feels that the absence of political favouritism here
is an exception to the general rule, by which the present
government is guided in making its appointments.
SALT-WATER BATHS.—At the Council meeting to-
morrow, Mr. Parker will submit a motion for the Council
to obtain possession of the baths, at George's Pier, in
order that the same " may be appropriated for the benefit
of all classes of the community." If this step can be
taken without injury to the present respected occupier of
the premises, it will be a move in the right direction, and
Mr. Parker will doubtless be seconded by all wbo desire
the cleanliness, and therefore the health of the inhabitants
of the town.

THE DOCKS OP LIVERPOOL UNABLE TO CONTAIN ITS
SHIPPING.-A visitor to our port, acquainted with the
requirements of shipping, would certainly not say that we
had shewn any great rashness in the construction of addi-
tional dock space, as alleged by Mr. Eyre Evans and other
cavillers at the policy of the late Dock Chairman. For
the last three days the flag, intimating that they are full,
has been hoisted at every dock in our port, except the
Albert Dock, and including the new north docks; and
even the Albert Dock is inconveniently crowded, and
every hand in it actively engaged. In addition, we have
at least 20,000 tons of shipping lying in the river at
anchor, and large vessels coming up every tide, not one
of which, until we have a change of wind, and a large
number go to sea, can get into dock. We could do just
now with an increase of accommodation at least equal to
that provided by the four north docks recently opened.

MURDER FROM JEALOUSY.—A man named Long, a

his servant in bed, and the double demon of intoxication
and jealousy prompting him, he seized a spade, and

SIR, I have hitherto had a prejudice against having recount
to advertised medicines, but as I have for years been a severe

sufferer from

having tried

several of the most eminent Physicians of London and Paris, I
was induced by a friend to make a trial of your liquid, called
" Serjeant's Lotion." I think it in gratitude due to you to say,
in less than an hour from the time I applied the Lotion, I felt
the most pleasant and indescribable relief. The immediate
effect was to produce a short but tranquil and most refreshing
slumber, from which I awoke to enjoy that whicn was, from its
novelty? the greatest happiness—perfect quietude and freedom
rom Dam. The number of poor souls that suffer as I have is
immense, and if the publication of this testimony can induce
one to accept of the salvation you offer, I shall feel that I hare
not lived in vain.—With many thanks, I am yours,

aromatic quality (which is very grate to the stomach) most
