GENERAL MISCELLANY.

Directions have been issued to the South Nottingham-
shire Yeomanry to hold themselves in readiness for active
service at a moment's notice.—Globe.
Mrs. Crawford, formerly well known as Miss Eliza
Paton, is about to resume her professional pursuits in
Edinburgh.

We regret to state that that admirable -comedian, Mr.
W. Farren, was suddenly seized on Tuesday night with a
fit of apoplexy. He is fast recovering.
On Sunday last, at St. Austle, Cornwall, an infant was
suffocated in its cradle by a cat lying upon the face of the
sleeping child.
A Nottinghamshire paper gives an acccount of the death
of a child, 15 months old, in consequence of a piece of nut
shell sticking in its throat.
Mr. Buddle, the agent of the Marquis of Londonderry,
has died lately worth the enormous sum of £150,000.,
having been a mere pit lad.

Mr. Pattison was elected member for London by a ma-
jority of 165, according to the official declaration of the
poll.

The rumour that Dr. WHale and the " Bishop of
Ardagh" were to be included in the prosecutions for
sedition is now believed to have had no foundation what-
ever.

At a meeting of the Yorkshire and Derbyshire iron-
masters, held at the Tontine Inn, Sheffield, on Thursday,
an advance of 15s. per ton was declared, with every pros-
pect of a further rise before Christmas.

At a meeting of the Ribble Navigation Company, held
last week at Preston, it was agreed to go to parliament
for power to raise an additional £20,000 for the comple-
tion of the works.

It is said that a marriage is on the tapis between Lady
Chantrey, relict of the late Sir Francis Chantrey, and
Mr. Corbould, the artist. Her ladyship is staying at
Tunbridge Wells.

EDINBURGH FESTIVAL.—In round numbers, it is
stated that the loss by the recent festival at Auld lteekie
will amount to £2OOO. Fortunately, it will fall upon
shoulders that can well bear it.

WORKSOP MANOR HOUSE.—The building materials
were sold on Tuesday last, by direction of his Grace the
Duke of Newcastle, for 20,000 guineas. It is said the
original cost of the mansion was £300,000.

On Wednesday last, another dreadful explosion took
place at one of the Calder pits (Coatbridge). There were
twenty-four men in the pit, who were more or less injured
and two lives lost.

Arrangements have been made with the Gfeat Western
and London and Liverpool lines to have trains at the dis-
posal of government to start at any time an order may be
sent from the Horse-Guards to convey troops to Ireland.
A meeting of from thirty to forty thousand pit men as-
sembled on Saturday at the Black Fell, near Newcastle,
to petition for repeal of the export duty on coal and other
grievances connected with the trade. Mr. Duncombe,
M.P., and Mr. Feargus O'Connor addressed them.
The Journal des Bruxelles states that the Belgian Go-
vernment has received, from its Charge d'Affaires at New
York, official information of the conclusion of a treaty of
commerce between the German Customs Union and the
United States of America.

REPRESENTATION OF SALISBURY.--The death of Mr.
Wyndham, the Conservative member for Salisbury, oc-
casioned a vacancy in the representation of that city.
Mr. Bouverie, second son of Lord Radnor, is named as
a probable candidate.

The greatest activity prevails in the carpet trade at
Barnard Castle at the present time ; the stocks on hand
are low, and most of the workmen are fully employed. A
change most auspicious and gratifying in the affairs of
that town since last autumn.

The proprietor of a coffee-house, in London, lately dis-
covered that the whole of the story of " Ten Thousand a
year" had been cut out from nine expensively bound vo-
lumes of Blackwood's Magazine. Robberies and mutila-
tions of this description have of late become very common
in coffee-houses.

WOODCOCKS.—On the lith instant the gamekeeper of
Mr. G. Perryn, of Trafford, killed a fine woodcock on
the land in that neighbourhood. It is generally presumed
that so early an appearance of this bird is a presage of a
severe winter. The Welsh hills being now covered with
snow, present also an early indication.—Chester Courant.
LADY SALE.—The " Oriental " steam-ship, from
Alexandria, disembarked her passengers at Southampton
on Saturday week. Lady Sale was amongst the number,
and was an object of peculiar interest. Her ladyship was
looking remarkably well, considering the harassing life
and severities she has of late undergone.
The rump-steak dinner on the top of Nelson's Column
came off yesterday week, of which 14 persons engaged on
the works partook. The steaks were run up by a pulley,
and appeared to be highly relished by the diners-out ; the
party afterwards returned to " dull earth," and finished
the evening at the Trafalgar Hotel.
SUDDEN DEATH OF A CORONER.—Died, on Sunday
evening week, Mr. Robert Fowke, solicitor, of Stafford,
and one of the coroners for that county. The deceased,
who was in the prime of life, had partaken of a hearty
dinner, as usual, and in two or three hours afterwards
was found by his housekeeper prostrate on the floor in a
lifeless state.

PROBATES AND ADMINISTRATIONS.—By a late Par-
liamentary return of the total nurnbgr of copies of wills
and extracts of administrations sent to the legacy duty-
office in each of the years 1839, 1840, and 1841, it appears
that in the first year there were 22,169, the second 22.106,
and in 1841 the number was 22,908. There were 16,701
wills in the last mentioned year.
EXPLOSION OF FIRE DAMP.—At Stevenson Colliery,
Holytown, on Monday the 23d, three men and a boy were
severely burned, owing, it is said, to one of the workmen
goingknown by him to be foul. One of the sufferers was re-
lieved on Tuesday by death, from his painful situation ;
and no hopes are as yet entertained for the recovery of
the other three.---Glasgow paper,
