never carried with him supplies of any kind, trusting his
commissariat aid to Providence and rural hospitality. In
this manner Captain C— became well known to the na-
tives of the country in every direction where sport was to
be obtained ; he was sufficiently acquainted w th their lan-
guage to make himself understood, and the kindly simpli-
city of his manner attached them to his person, and many
of them indeed have been known to walk miles to give him
early information of large game, which were his favourite
objects of pursuit. Captain C— was thus quite at " home"

probably brought to bag single-handed more head of large
game—elephants, bisons, tigers, and the like, than any
other man ever did before, or ever will again in India.
When upon one of these excursions, Captain C— happened
to be passing the night at a small village in the Wynaud
jungle, when a ryot, who had been out very late searching
for a strange bullock, came to tell him of a large cheetul,
or spotted deer, which he had watched to its lair. He had

cordingly after his game at daybreak, accompanied by the
villager and a favourite dog, which rarely lcft his heels un-

spot where the cheetul had lain down, Captain C— of a

with unerring aim he placed two balls in its forehead.
The effect was not, however, as he expected, fatal, and

but Captain C was only just prepared for a second
discharge, when the boa reached the tree, and instantly
twisting itself round the stem would have soon seized him,

but fortunately at the next shot he blew out both his
eyes with a charge of B B ; yet though the snake appeared
far a moment stunned, it stilt continued its eff its to

from rising, not though till Captain C-- had com-
pletely emptied his powder flask, and he even then did not
venture to descend, as the reptile continued coiled round
the tree, occasionally by a muscular movement showing
that its vital powers were not yet wholly extinct. At
length, after some hours solitary confinement on his
perch, and shouting until he was hoarse for aid, Captain
C-- had the satisfaction to see a number of villagers
arrive, by whom the monstrous animal was soon com-
pletely destroyed. Captain C had no means of ac-
curately measuring its length but by a piece of stick,
which the natives said was a cubit:long, and he declared
that it measured upwards of thirty of these, and was much
thicker than one of his own thighs, which were of a make
that would have well become the leatberfie-for-shames of
any life guardsman ! The head of the boa was cut off by
his orders, and sent to the Hon. Mr. Cole, then president of
Mysore, and its enormous jaws still may possibly be in
existence at the Mysore Residency.—Madras United

A Scorriss SUNDAY IN DE Fon's TIME.—It was on
a Sunday that I passed by here and stopped at the post-
house for refreshment, but could have nothing but an egg
or two, with some wine or thick Scetts ale; it being a
custom, through many parts of Scotland, to eat only an
egg, if anything, for dinner, and to have a hot supper at
night ; for their seeming strictness in religion will not let
them do any labour, even so much as dressing a dinner
for themselves or travellers, although they have fowls and
other meat in their house, till night, when Sunday ii
over.—De Foe's Tour.

CLIMATE OF CANADA.—The views which many in
England have of the climate of Canada is far from being
correct. They pity us provincia!ists for being obliged to
endure it; whereas the climate of this province, to people
in ordinary health, is one of the best in the world. I give
one small portion of evidence to establish what I have said.
I never slept any where in Scotland, England, or Ire-
land, except in a warm bed. I never knew a traveller
sleep out all night ; the people would have said he was
mad ; and, most probably, would have thought only of
getting a coffin ready for him in the morning, for he would
have died of cold and wet. But, during my brief tour on
the shores of Lake Huron, I have slept on the deck of a
vessel without a covering, s; ent nights in an open boat,
slept on the sand, encamped at midnight under trees, and,
with the exception of a few musquito bites, awakened very
much refreshed in the morning.—Simmonds'sr Colonial.
RAILWAY RESULTS.—We hear a good deal of the in-
exhaustible resources of John Bull, but there are few
impossibilities that even lie cannot accomplish. For in-
stance if he could even make a silk purse out of a !sow's
ear, the purse would be of no use to him in paying his
calls, if it happened to be an empty one. Calls will
literally tear him in pieces, and there will not be an arti-
cle he possesses that the great interests of locomotion
will not carry away from him. A grand trunk will run
away vvith:his strong box ; a junction of some kind or
other will tear his coat in two ; some stupendous cuttinc,
will cut away with his cash box; a tremendous tunnel
will run through all he has ; and excavations on an ex•
teosive scale will empty all his pocket; ; his establishment
will dwindle by degrees, as he continues making efforts
to pay up his calls ; his servants, one by one, will be put
down as some new demand is made ; and every fresh
gradient will help to send him down the hill with fearful
rapidity. First, the butler will be given up as a sacrifice
to some intermediate station, and gradually, footman,
housemaid, servant of all work, will Le thrown in to make
a splendid terminus. Plate will be melted into iron,
watchers will go to make sleepers, diamonds will be con-
verted into coals, and silver tea-kettles into steam-boilers.
Cruikshank's Table Book.

VOLITION NOT SUSPENDED DURING SLEEP.—That vo-
lition is not suspended during sleep, is proved by many
facts ; and probably the experience of every person who
remembers his dreams, affords evidence that the will is as
busy during sleep as when awake. But the fact is strik-
ingly illustrated by examples of remarkable exertion of
will in the employment of intellect and genius during
sleep. Tartini, a celebrated violin player, composed his
famous Devil's Sonata, while he dreamed that the devil
challenged him to a trial of skill on his own violin. Ca-
banis often during his dreams saw clearly into the bearing
of political events which baffled him when awake. Con-
dorcet frequently left his deep and complicated calcula-
tions unfinished when obliged to retire to rest, and found
their results unfolded in his dreams. Coleridge's account
of his wild composition, Kubla Khan, is very curious. He
had been reading Purchas' Pilgrimage, and fell asleep at
the moment he was reading this sentence :—" Here the
Khan Kubla commanded a palace to be built, and a stately
garden thereunto." He continued in profound sleep
about three hours, during which he had a vivid confidence
that lie composed from two to three hundred lines; if, as
he says, that can be called composition in which all the
images rose up before him, as things with a parallel pro-
duction of correspo :dent expressions. On awaking he
appeared to have a d stinct recollection of the whole, and
proceeded to write down the wonderful lines that are pre-
served, when he was interrupted, and cou!d never after-
wards recal the rest.—Moore on the Power of the Soul
over the Body.

MOZART'S IRREGULARITIES. His disappointments
produced in his excitable temperament almost a disgust
for life ; and like many in the same circumstances, be
sought relief from thought in indulgences he had not ven-
tured upon before. He became wild in the pursuit of
pleasure; whatever changed the scene was delightful to
him, and the more extravagant the better. His associ-
ates, and the frequent guests at his table, were recom-
mended by their animal spirits and capacity as boon com-
panions. They were stage-players and orchestral musi-
cians, low and unprincipled persons, whose acquaintance
injured him still more in reputation than in purse. Two
of these men, Schickaneder, (the director of a theatre
for whom Mozart wrote the Zauberfilite) and Stadler, a
clarionet-player, are known to have behaved with gross
dishonesty towards the composer; and yet be forgave
them, and continued their benefactor. The society of
Schickaneder, a man of grotesque humour, often in diffi-
culties, but of exhaustible cheerfulness and good fellow-
ship, had attractions for Mozart, and led him into some
excesses that contributed to the disorder of his health, as
he was obliged to retrieve at night the hours lost in the
day. A long-continued irregularity of income, also, dis
posed him to make the most of any favourable moment ;
and when a few rouleaus of gold brought the means of
enjoyment, the champagne and tokay began to flow.
This course is unhappily no novelty in the shifting life of
genius, over-worked and ill-rewarded, and seeking to
throw off its cares in the pursuits and excitements of
vulgar existence. It is necessary to know the composer
as a man of pleasure, in order to understand certain al-
lusions in the correspondence of his last years, when his
affairs were in the most embarrassed condition, and his
absence from Vienna frequently caused by the pressure of
creditors He appears at this time to have experienced
moments of poignant self-approach. His love of dan-
cing, masquerades, masked balls, &c., was so great, that
he did not willingly forego an opportunity of joining any
one of those assemblies, whether public or private. He
dressed handsomely, and wished to make a favourable
impression in society independently of his music. He
was sensitive with regard to his figure, and was annoyed
when he heard the Prussian ambassador had said to some
one, " You must not estimate the genius of Mozart by
the insignificance of his exterior." The extremity of his
animal spirits may occasion surprise. He composed pan-
tomimes and ballets, and danced in them himself, and at
the carnival balls sometimes assumed a character. He
was actually incomparable in Arlequin and Pierrot.
The public masquerades at Vienna, during the Carnival,
were supported with all the vivacity of Italy ; the em-
peror occasionally mingled in them, and his example was
generously followed. We are not, therefore, to measure
these enjoyments by our colder northern notions.

security of the missionaries and their converts.

" Again, to resume the Romish statement, ' Australia,
which seemed destined to remain only the prison of En-
glish convicts, and which, in 1820, possessed neither altar
nor priest, is now become an ecclesiastical province, with
an Archbishop in Sydney, two bishops in Adelaide and
Hobart Town, a metropolitan church, the noblest edifice
in Australia, 25 chapels, 31 schools, and 56 priests.'
Once more :—' In 1822, not a single priest was to be
found in the long chain of islands stretching across the
Pacific. Now Polynesia numbers three vicariats aposto-
lic and 50 priests.' To this briaf notice what a tale of
woe and blood might be added by the persecuted objects
of these missions in Tahiti !

" These facts prove, beyond question, that the aggres-
sions of Rome upon our own country or district are not
isolated efforts, induced by local circumstances, and
likely soon to be repressed, but that they are parts of a
general system pursued with uniform vigour throughout
the world ; and, therefore, that they must not be expected
to cease, a general decline of zeal and change of pril-
ciples and policy shall have taken place within the Ro-
rnizh hierarchy itself."

At a recent meeting of the Loughborough and Ashby
Protestant Tract Society, the committee, in an able re-
port, called attention to the extraordinary increase of
Popish priests and institutions in England.
" Every one," says the report, " is aware that it is still
progressive. But it is not so generally observed that this
increase is not peculiar to our own country; and that,
during the last twenty years, Rome has been rapidly ex-
tending her principles and her power in every part of the

" In the year 1822,' says her own accredited organ,
(Annals de la Propagation de la Poi), ' her resources
were in a great measure exhausted ; her numerous en-
dowments confiscated ; her religious orders, even in many
Catholic countries, suppressed; her clergy impoverished
and thinned [decime] by persecution ; her means of com-
munication with distant regions cut off; so that her few
surviving missions languished in penury and neglect, and
there were no means of remitting them supplies of money
and men. Nay, their very existence had become un-
known
to most of those who would otherwise have con-
tributed to their support.' Now,' says the same autho-
rity, how vast is the change! The clergy are greatly in-
creased in numbers and wealth. The old religious orders
are revived, and, as a specimen of their zeal, we may in-
stance the congregation of St. Lazarus, whose missiona-
ries for Europe have been raised from 13 to 130. The
Society of Jesus has resumed its place. (an ominous an-
nouncement !) and reckons a great number of priests de-
voted to the conversion of the heathens : many new so-
cieties have been formed expressly for missionary objects,
such as the Kedemptionists, the Passionists, the order of
the Sacred Heart of Mary, &c. New missionary col-
leges have been added to the old, and the old extended ;
and thus the work of proselytising has been provided for
by the seminaries of Lyons, of Drumeondra,near Dublin,
of the Capuchins in Rome, and, above all, the famous
Propasanda.' And what has been the result? The offi-
cial return of Romish missionaries in actual employment
throughout the world (exclusively of the clergy in England
and Ireland, and all countries where the Church of Rome
is established), was, in the year 1834, 139 bishops, and

4,750 priests.

POTATOES IN THE LONDON MARKET.—There is a
very visible improvement of those introduced into the
markets the last few weeks. At Spitalfields, however,
the great emporium for the supply of the eastern
districts, the quality is the most deficient and inferior.
Potatoes of thebest quality may be generally purchased
at 31b. for 21d., which is not much above the usual
average for this time of the year.
Police-Serjeant Stubbs, who was so severely injured by
the fearful accident on the Midland,Railway, on the 20th
ult., died in the Leeds infirmary on Wednesday. He
sustained by the accident a compound fracture of one of
his legs. The inquest on the body was to sit on Monday
(yesterday). Mr. Andrews, shareholder of Leeds, who
was also injured by this accident, is in a condition to ex-
cite some alarm as to his ultimate safety.
LADY YOUTH.—At Bow-street, lately, a delicate look-
ing youth of sixteen, named Ford, alias William Roe, and
otherwise Caroline Foster, who appeared at the bar in the
attire of a young lady, and sustained the character extre-
mely well, was carged with decamping from his master's
service with a gold watch, value £7, two silver watches,
value £5, and £lO in money. He was committed for trial.
The prisoner had taken a shop, and laid in articles to com-
mence business as a milliner.
THE AMAZING CARELES SNESS OF COLLIERS.—It Wa
Professor Faraday, we think, who amused the British As-
sociation by stating, that when he was in Haswell pit, ob-
serving the preparations for a blast, and holding a candle
in his hand, he inquired, " Where is your gunpowder ?"
a collier coolly answered, " You are sitting upon it,
sir 1" A still grosser act of incaution, and, unhappily,
disastrous in its consequences, may now be recorded. Two
pitmen, named Dickenson and Crozier, were last week
decanting" some gunpowder, and one of them was
smoking his pipe at the time !!! The powder exploded—
the men were blown up by the blast—and they are now
totally blind !—Gateshead Observer.
MURDER AND ROBBERY.—A horrible transaction has
occurred within a few miles of Coventry. An old and
eccentric farmer, named Thomas Tranter, slept at a place
called Docker's Gate. No one lived with him ; and the
house having been fastened up for a couple of days, it was
at length forcibly entered by the neighbours, and the
farmer was found lying dead on the floor, in a pool of
blood, with a large carpenter's axe wedged into the back
part of his scull. The poor old man must have been
chopping some wood, as a piece half cut up was found at
his feet when the body was discovered. Sixpence was
found in his pocket. The drawers were all forced open,
and whatever money they contained was taken away. No
clue has been obtained of the villains.
A WEALTHY BEGGAR.—An old man named William
Munro, a native of the parish of Nigg, in Rossshire, was
a few days ago apprehended for begging, and sent to
prison for ten days. On afterwards searching his
pockets, there was found in his possession a bank dposit
receipt for £6l, and also a current account with the
savings-bauk for £2 175.-7 s. of which had been lodged
on the day before he was apprehended. There is also
some reason to believe that this is only a small part of
the money belonging to him, and yet, notwithstanding
this the wretched individual had not a rag to cover
him, beyond an old bed-rug, which he had wrapped
around his shoulders in place of a coat. He had been
going about the city begging for some time past, and is
considered a little weak in mind.—Edinburgh Witness.
HEROIC DEFENCE AGAINST BURGLARS.—On Tues-

day night, Mrs. Middleton, of Stand house, St
was alarmed by a knock at her door, and on enquiry who
was there, she received no answer. She then went up
stairs, when the door-bell was wrung with great violence,
and on looking out of the chamber window she saw two
or three men standing in front of the house. From the
retired situation of the house, Mrs. Middleton is in the

FATAL ACCIDENT.—WhiIe some of the labourers were
engaged in blasting the rock at Craigton, upon the line of
the Scottish Central Railway, northward of Dunblane, a
fatal accident occurred. The person who had s een in the
act of charging a shot and setting fire to the fuzee, and
was about making his escape, observed something wrong
with the fuzee, and, while endeavouring to extinguish it,
the charge went off, and killed him on the spot— other two
workmen narrowly escaped instant death at the same time.
One of them received part of the discharge upon the
forehead, which carried away part of his skull, and
although he appears- somewhat better, he is not con-
sidered out of danger ; the third lost his eyesight for some
time after the accident, but is now gradually recovering,—
Another accident happened to a man at the cut at Laigh-
hills, near Muublane by the falling in of a portion of
earth upon him, whereby his leg was broken.
BRISTOL DOCKS.—The subject of the purchase by the
city of the Bristol docks occupied the attention of the
town council, on Wednesday, for five hours. The terms
were such that the council guaranteed the dock proprietors
7s. 6d. more per cent. than they have been receiving for
an average of twenty-three years. The dock directors
refused the terms, and the committee reported the result
to the council on Wednesday. in the discussion it was
admitted on all hands that the offer was exceedingly fair
and liberal, some even contending that more had been

AFFECTING INCIDENT IN HUMBLE LIFE.—A mar-

Saturday morning last, in a field at Northowram, in a
dying state ; all efforts to save him were of no avail, and
he died some hours after. It is sup osed, from a letter
found in a box belonging to him, that) e died from poison,
administered by himself. Fowell was a comb-brooch
maker, well known in Bradford, and he disappeared from
amongst his friends about Monday week

Nothing was

heard of him till after his death. Poverty, and it
would seem from his own sad account, domestic trouble
(arising from the misconduct of his wife) have latterly
embittered, and ultimately shortened hia life. On his
person was found a note addressed to his brother, at
Keighley, and stating that in his box would be found a
letter explaining the cause of his melancholy end. The

October 20, 1844

many of them evidently written under feelings of the
deepest anguish, and relating to real•life circumstances
of a very painful character, appear almost daily in the
second column of the first page of The Times. The fol-
lowing was inserted on Tuesday last :
"To W. B.—My dear husband,--I call upon you and entreat
you to RETURN HOME. What have I done? Why have you
forsaken me? Why go and leave me, and not prepare me for
the heart-rending anguish your absence is causing me to suffer ?
Do you c9ll six months not long? Return to me, my dear hus-
band : i' is my wish to see you happy—return, and I will make
you so."
The following was inserted in Wednesday's Times :
To T. W.—My beloved husband,--I call upon you in the
name of my God, whom I have so dishonoured to return imme-
diately to your heart-broken wife. I humbly beseech you for
your own sake as well as mine—for your employer's sake, who
will be most glad to see you. There is nothing unpleasant. No
one knows of this circumstance : everything would he as before ;
therefore I implore of you to forgive me, and once more to return
before lam no more. Refuse me not for Christ's sake. I be-
seech you, my beloved, communicate with me. Oh ! did you
know what I feel.—C. Cottage."
lIORRIBLE.—A sad tragedy took place at Dyffryd, near
Oswestry, on Friday. An elderly woman named Rider,
lately a pauper in the Ellesmere Union Workhouse, but
lately taken to reside with her son and a sickly daughter,
is the savage perpetrator. It appears that some slight
altercation took place between the mother and her
daughter, who is 22 years of age, in consequence of the

former being prevented leaving the house. The poor
victim, aware of her parent's propensities when at large,
locked the door of the cottage, whereupon the wretch
attacked her with the first weapon she could lay her hands
on, and afterwards possessed herself of a broomhook ; she
then cut and hewed away with all her might, literally
scalping the powerless girl, and otherwise inflicting on her
arms and body the most dreadful wounds; the poor thing
all this time praying for mercy, and offering to give up
the key to her brutal assailant. Nature at length gave
way, the fiendish monster dragged her all but dead off-
spring into an adjoining apartment. The cries of the poor
sufferer being at last heard, the son was fetched_home,
and on going to the door saw a stream of blood running
over the threshold. With assistance he succeeded in
forcing the door, when such a scene presented itself as was
seldom ever before witnessed. Portions of the flesh from
the head, with locks of hair attached, and pools of blood,
&c., covered the floor, and one instrument was found,
amongst the rest, covered with gore. This was a broom
handle, and appears to have been last used. On searching
about the billhook was found secreted in an oven. The
young woman is still living, but is not expected to last
long.—Shrewsbury Journal.
