ACCIDENT IN Pittixen's Dock.—Between eight and nine
o'clock on Moaday evening the men on tuiaisri the ship Europe
'heard a faint cry of distress proceeding from a space, not inure
than three feet wide, between one side of the dock and the above
mentioned vessel. Upon examining the place it was discovered
that an old woman, wife of one of the hands, had fallen into the
water. ,After a little delay, she was taken out in a state of con-
siderable exhaustion, and conveyed to the Northern Hospital,
where, we ore glad to say, she is getting better.
Lacruses ON POPERY.—The second of these lectures was
delivered un Wednesday eveningislast, at St. Andrew's Church,
by the Rev. I. P. Buddicom. Long before the time appointed
for the commencement of the service, the doors of the church
were besieged by persons of both sexes, desirous to obtain ad-
mission. The rev. lecturer's discourse was listened to, for up-
wards of two hours, with deep and serious attention. In the
list of preachers who had undertaken a part in the course
we omitted, in the STANDARD of the 10th instant, the name o
the Rev. Robert Davies, M.A., minister of St. David's Church

discovered in the warehouse of Mr. M'Ghie, marine store dealer,
Strand-street. The fire-engines were promptly on the spot, and
the flames were got under in about two hours from the tune of
the commencement of the fire. We understand the property

MINER A I. MAGNETISM.-4t the meeting of the Westminster
Medical Society, on Saturday evening, a paper was read by Dr.
Schmidt, a German physician, on the arplication of magnetism
as a remedial agent in various nervous and other disorders. The.
paper contained a very lengthened account of he reputed virtues
of the ioadstone, from very early ages down to the present time,
and of its effects in alleviating affections hitherto considered
upprobittm or modiciner•. The whole of the evening being en-
gaged in the-reading of the paper no opportunity was afforded
fur any discussion on the subject, which was adjourned to the
next meeting.
O'CONNELL FIRST LORD OF THE ADM IR ALTY.—A young
gentleman who had not attained his majority, and w ho had just
passed at the Coliege of Su rgepns, came from 1 rublin, and called
at the Admiralty, with a hitter of recommendation from Daniel
O'Connell in his pocket. In less than is Month he was appointed
to a ship of the first class, although, as everybody knows, there
are hundreds of deservi4 men who haVe already served their
country, waiting for appointments, acid waiting in vain. They
have no recommendation from Daniel O'Connell.—London

Wednesday next for the benefit of Mr. G. Horneastle, who, we
understand', is a singer of considerable merit. We are happy
to hear that Mr. and Mrs. Baker- had a full house on Monday
last. The receipts amounted to £155 15s.
Ron Ent' OF A Laanue.—Five .notorious thieves, bearing
the names of Thomas Marshall, Samuel Hazlehurst, William
Hodson, Peter Nestor, and Evans, were on Monday placed
before Sit George Drinkwater, charged by Bonfield, of the
nightly watch, under the following ,circumstances :—Bonfield
stated that he had on Satuidav night received information that
a gentleman in Comus-street.had been robbed of twenty pounds,
of beef, a goose, a hare, five pounds of butter, a quantity of fish,
bread, &e. He immediately set about investigating time matter,
and succeeded in tracing the prisoner Evans to a house in
Cherry-lane, where he apprehendea him. As he was conveying
this prisoner to Bridewell, he (the prisoner) said that he would
telt him where he would find the other boys who bad been con-
cerned in the robbery. lie then led him to a cellar in Stock-.
dale-street, where he took the prisoners Marshall and Hazle-
hurst, and subsequently to a beer-shop in Cavendish-street,
where he took the other two prisoners, and found a piece of the
beef. The keeper of the beer.shop said that he had observed
the two prisoners standing at the door of his house for a con-
siderable time. At ieugtb he asked them what they wanted,
when one of them said, " Do you want to buy a piece of beef ?"
at the same exhibitinga large cut of that commodity. Witness
replied in the negative,.observing that ire was already supplied
• with meat. He then retired into his house, and one of the pri-
soners fellowed him, and called for a glass of ale. Presently
afterwards lhe• other soner cause in, saying, "Take care !
here's the simpers." Witness asked them what was meant by
the Jr:cullers They told him the constabLs. were coming, and
instantly, before he could prevent them, thrust the meat into
his cupboard. The watchman entered at the moment, and the
prisoners, with the meat, were taken into custody. The gentle-
man from whom the articles had stolen said, that on Saturday
-night some persons host got over irts-bart-yard,-had"
broken into the larder, and stolen the articles enumerated by
the watchman Bonfield. The prisoners were'remanded. .

THE IRISH CLERGY.--WOUCESTER, .Nov. 11—The good
work of benevolence in aid of the suffering Irish clergy goes nu
as we eculd wish. The stun received up to last night was
£1,220 145., and we trust that it will yet be greatly augmented.
We rejoice to hear that a similar subscription has been opened
in Cornwall.—Worcestershire Guardian.

RAILROAD TRAVE!.LING.—Does nnv body mean to assert
(says the Jahn BuO that decent people-, passengers, who would
use their own carriages, and are accustomed to their own com-
forts, would consent to be harried along through the air upon
a railroad, from which, had a lazy schoolboy left a marble, or a
wicked one a stone, they would be pitched off their perilous.
track into the valley beneath ?—or is it to be imagined that
women, who may like the fun of being whirled away upon a
party of pleasure for an hour to see a sight, would endure the,
fatigue, and reisery, 'and danger, not only to themselves but to
;their children uud families, of being dragged throUgh the air at
the rate of twenty miles an hour all their lives, being at the
mercy of a tin pipe or copper boiler, or the accidental dropping
of a pebble in thedine of way ?
Thu Gut LIMTINE.—A curious correspondence has been pub-
lished in Paris relative to the introduction of this instrument of
death in 1792. It is generally known that it was named after
a Dr. Guillotin; but, from the documents now published, it ar-,
pears that the doctor was not the inventor, but the party wile
succeeded, after several fruitless attempts, in carrying a bill
through the legislative assembly decreeing that all persons con-
demned to death should suffer in no other way, but by decapita-
tion. It further appears, such was the tear of public vengeance,
that there was great difficulty in finding any one who would un-
dertake to construct the requited instrument. The carpenter
usually employed by the gevernmert required as conditions,
that he should be paid 4,000 francs for each guillotine, and should
neither sign agreement or receipt. These terms were declined,
and applicatiommas tiome4 Selnyvidt, y..46-emter-,
took the job conditionally, that his name should not be made
public; and that, as every department would require one of
these instruments, the orders should be transmitted direct to
by M. Itadesir, the "Procureur-Generalr and by no other
person.
Paeistoeis roc MER is well known that at the time of
Sir Robert Peel's resignation a warrant Was in preparation for
conferring a pension upon Professor Faraday, who has more
extended the -bounds of science than any Englishman now
living. Some time after Lord Metheurne became prime minis-
ter, a pension was conferred upon the poet, Thomas Moore,
alias Themes Little, whit has done More to degrade the litera-
fere and vitiate the morals of England by ribaldry and virulence -
than any writer in the language. Faraday, in the mean time,.
was neglected; but his merits being at length forced by some
friends of science upon, the minister's attention, a pension was
at length offered to bin, LESS in amount than that conferred.
upon the poet, and in such terms, aft aCcOmpapied by such exe
pressions as his
lordship have felt would preclude its RC, •
ceptance by any man of a high and honourable mind. We can-
not but pity even Lord Melbourne for the unhappy position in
which he has placed himself ou both neciisions.—Correspondent

bury, about .the close of the nth century, excommunicated Sir

at Wilton. The knight paid rather dearly for his " gallivanting,".
inasmuch as the intelelict was only ten-roved en the condition
that "he should never come within' any nunnerie, or in the com-

The Warrington operatiie conservatives held their second
meeting last Tuesday evening, Wlien about one hundred mem-

will be doubled.

CONSERVATIVE DINNER AT LEEns.—A dinner was given to
the Right Honourable Sir John Beckett, Bart., M.P., by his
constituents, in the large room of. the. Music Hail, teed., on

constitutional movement, we are glad to observe, is not confined
to the wealthier classes alone—the Leeds Operative Conserva-
tive Society, which is in a very flourishing state, intend to as-
semble at the festive board on Wednesday- next, the 25th inst.

GLASGOW Umvnistrv.---Lord Stinlev was on Monday last
re-elected Rector of the UnivertitY of Glasgow. Scarcely any
opposition was offers and the election passed over without the
usual excitement among the- ittidents. One vote was given in
the nation Glottiana, for Dr:B6Wring, and the son of a Se 7
cession clergyman gave another fcr Mr. O'Connell. which ex-
cited no little merriment among the students. Lord Stanley's
re-election may be considered all but unanimous.— Seettith

CURISTY CfiSIOND AND GKORGIi L'lmondstois, is
learned medical practitioner in Shetland, some t weive years ago
presented George IV. with a pair of the justly much celebrated
Sherlund hose, of so fine a texture that they could with ease be
dtawn through a lady's ring,. Previous, however, ty their being
sent, the doctor's bookkeeper, Chi isty Odtwond, heving ,occa-

trived to get them into her possession. As she was about to re-,
place them on the morrow after the hall; to her great horror sho
discovered she bad danced a hole in them of considerable size.
To remedy this, she set herself to Work, and so ingeniously,
wove in the bole, that the blemish, entirely escaped the doctor's
notice.. They were accordingly despatched to Stir-Robert Peel
(the present Sir Robert's father) to be presented to his Majesty ;
and, in the course of a, few weeks, the doctor received a letter
acknowledging their receipt, and " his Majesty's•most gracious

It is lying nearly horizontally, and is as yet attached by about
two-thirds of its circumference to the sandstone. It is about
fifteen inches in diameter. and about seven feet of it are at pre-

still undiscovered is probably considerable. wholly corn -

NORTIIAMPTONSHME ELECTION.—The vacancy in the re-
presentation of North Northamptonshire is, it seems, to be con-
tested, a'though the canvass of Mr. Mannsoll, the conservative
candidate, has hitherto 'proved completely triumphant. The
gentleman who is hardy enough to come .forward on the whig-
radical interest is Mr. flaubury of Ke!marsh, who has been
sent'for post haste on the desperate emergency. lie was un-
successful in 1832 in a similar attempt, and we have little doubt
that his essay on this occasion will not be attended with a bet-
