TRADE IN PAISLEY.—The Glasgow Chronicle gives a favour-
able account of the present state of trade in Paisley. The
weavers all in full employ, and wages are raised.
DISCOVFRY AND APPREHENSION OF COINERS.-011 Friday
afternoon, inspector Lincoln,. of E division of police, received
information that a gang of comers were in the habit of frequent-
ing a low hovel in Kennedy's court, St. Giles's, where coining,
was carried ou to a great extent, and that individuals connected
with the delinquents were there engaged in their nefarious pur-
suits. Lincoln, in company with Wilson, of the same division,
proceeded to the place, anti, after waiting an opportunity, saw
au old woman enter the door, and they instantly entered and
proceeded cautiously to the first-floor front room, the door of
which was fastened ; they heard female voices in the inside,
and they immediately forced an entrance, and found two women
seated by a large fire; a large metal spoon, such as is used in
making counterfeit coin, was lying on the bob, and a melted
piece of Dutch-metal was on the hearth. One of the women,
who was recognised as the wife of Paddy Flynn, the noted pu-
gilist, exclaimed, on seeing the officers, "We are done." A
bad shilling was found on the old woman, who took something
from the bob and put it into her mouth. Lincoln immediately
seized both the females, and ordered Wilson to search her
mouth, on doing which ten counterfeit shillings were taken out.
Plaster-of-Paris and other implements were also found in the
room. The prisoners were taken to Hatton-garden police-
office, and examined before Mr. Serjeant Scion, when they
denied the charge, saying that they had been trepanned. They
gave their names Mears and Flynn. The husband of the latter
was transported for life, having been the second in a prize fight
in which St. Giles's champion was killed. The prisoners were
remanded.—Times.

LOSS OF THE SHIP PENNSYLVANIA.—Office of the. Charleston
Courier, December 5.-4 P. M.—The Ship reported as being on
shore, on Cape Romain, in our paper of Monday last, proves
(as was supposed) to be the ship Pennsylvania, Capt. Patterson,
from Ilavre for this port, with a cargo of Wine, Porcelain, Fruit,
&c. The Pennsylvania sailed from Havre, on the 12th October.
Nothing material occurred on the passage, until Sunday morn-
ing last, at half past six o'clock, when she struck on the outer
Shoal of Cape Romain. At 9 o'clock, the main mast was cut
away, and at II o'clock the mizen mast shared the same fate.
The wind was blowing a gale at N. E. at the time she went on
shore, and the ship bilged and filled with water in one hour
after she struck. The jolly boat was launched and manned,
although at great risk of staving her, and Captain Patterson,
with 111 r. F. Duboc and Lady ; Messrs. F. ayolle, Rolie,
Monastere, and Master Hamel, (Cabin passengers) safely landed
at Cape Romain Light.—The remainder of the crew and the

relieved- from their distressing situation, by the pilot-boatash-
i ngton. The passengers speap raise of the unparalleled exertions of the crew of the Washing-
ton,nexed exertions,
& the mate of the ship. They were all taken from the bowsprit
of the vessel, in a small boat, six at a time; many of them helpless
females and young children; (one of the latter said to be but
three days old) ; the sea at the time running mountains high,
and the breakers dashing over the boat, in such a manner as
almost to whelm her beneath them at every stroke of the oars.
Too much encomium cannot be bestowed on those who thus
peril their lives to aid in saving those of their distressed fellow-
beings. One old lady, about 6 years of age, perisked on board
the vessel, from fatigue and exposure. Six 01 the steerage pas-
sengers had been_ previously put on board of the BritiSh brig
Charlotte. The Washington came up to town this morning
with the remainder, 91 in number. rille.ship and cargo, we
undetotaud, will be a total loss.

WHIG Cnuncti REFoust.—lt is said, that some members of
the Conservative party have engaged to support the ministerial
plan for the regulation of the Irish Church. We have no
doubt, that every member of the Conservative party will sup-
port everyjust.and good measure, no matter from what quartsq-
it may prkeed; but we cannot forget the vaunt of the Irish
ministerial journal, the Dublin Evening Post, that the minis-
terial plan is one Which will meet the approbation of the Popkth
repealers; and we can scarcely anticipate that they and the
Conservatives will be found voting in concert upon a church
arrangement.—London Standard.

WHIG TURF FELLOWSHIP.--Jack Gully's parliamentary
career is, we understand, to be a short one. The Marquis of
Cleveland bas hinted to him that the Chiltern Hundreds are at
his service,, and that, unless he accepts them, the devil another
hundred from his lordship will Jack ever touch again. This is
a new application of the system of exclusive dealing, for which
it is said the noble Marquis is to be rewarded with a dukc.
dom. Gully has long been the judge for the Marquis, and niw
the Marquis thinks it time to judge for him. Well done Whigs:.

STEAM COMMUNICATION WITH INDIA.—SOHIe correspond-.
ence has appeared in the newspapers relative to the establish-
ment of a more speedy communication between India and
England, by means of a steam conveyance along the line of the
Red Sea and the Mediterranean. '1 he East India Company,
however, refuse to co-operate with his Majesty's Government
and the mercantile body generally for this purpose. This ap-
pears to be a matter of surprise to many persons. We are at a
loss to know why'it should be; and it really.seems rather too
much to expect the company to go to the expense of providing
steam-vessels for the convenience of their mercantile opponents.
It may be said, that as sovereigns of India, they are bound to
do so out of their revenues. but the London merchants bear
no part of Indian taxation, and have therefore not the saner
claim as upon the Government at home, whose expenses they
in part defray.--Spestator.

ASTONISHING ESCAPE.—On Monday evening; at 8 o'clock,
Mr. James Ilavard, of Brecon, was riding from liowlais to
Merthyr, when near that part of the road in which Gellyfallog-
bridge forms. a rather abrupt curve, the sudden report of some
Ere works caused the horse to spring with such violence against
the parapet of the bridge as to precipitate Mr..Havard-over his
head. Mr. Havard, by great activity, contrived to get hold of
the stone work on the outside of the bridge, by. which he clung
for some minutes calling for assistance without being hears.
The stones by which he held aL length loosened and gave way;
upon which he clung to others, which in like manner failed, till
at length, being completely exhausted, _he fell into the Talk
from a height of rather more than 31 feet. He received a se-
vere contusion on the head from a stone striking him as he fell,
but fortunately sustained, on the whole, so little injury as to
be able to resume his journey the following day.—Merthyr

PAYING FOR PEEPING.—A French Col. on the retired list, who
had arrived from Paris for the purpose of visiting the citadel of
Antwerp, was in despair at finding that, though rich and well
known, he had no more chance of gaining his object than any
common man. His vanity would not allow him to return de-
feated: but, at a loss how to succeed, he. consulted his friend
O'Fai el, asking him what he would do in similar circumstances.
"I would immediately put on -a miner's' jacket," said he,
"which, being that of a brave man, would be no dishonour to
me, and enter the citadel with the party that are just setting
out." No sooner said than dune. The Colonel put on the mi-
ner's dress, and soon found himself in the interior of the for-
tress. Scarcely had he passed the gate, however, when Gen.
Rulhieres appeared, and gave orders for 20 men to be counted
oil' and set to work with all expedition. The disguised Colonel
marched gaily at their head, and being among the very foremost
was included in the detachment, aad set to labour in an obscure
spot, without the slightest possibility of satisfying his curiosity,
and was kept at hard labour till 4 o-clock, though he repeatedly
attempted to explain-to the sergeant that he did not belong to
the company of miners, being always silenced by some rude
command to mind his work, and not lose his time in talking.
The adventure at length reached Marshal Gerard, who, after
being highly amused by it, compensated the Colonelfor his bad
luck by sending him au order to be admitted the next morning
into the citadel, and shown every thing he wished to see, and
General Rulhieres himself had the kindness to receive him in
person and accompany him to every point of interest.

" MANY GO OUT TO FLEECE AND COME HOME SHORN."--
The Morning Herald, famous for its hatred of the practice of
the law, in recording the fact that 8400 attornies had taken ork
their certificates this year, proceeded to calculate how many
poor devils would be fleeced thereby. The process adopted was
Simple Rule of Three Direct: allowing 10 clients for each at-
torney, it was stated thus—if one attorney fleeces 10, then how
many will 8-100 give ? In the Hereld of Friday, is a letter from
an attorney, jealous, it might be supposed, for the honour of his
profession : he finds an error al the calculation : he does not
apparently think for a moment of denying that each attorney
in business will fleece ten clients ; but, says he, many of those
who take out certificates are iu fact clerks in the offices of
others ; so that it would seem they only assist in the fleecingi
and therefore that it takes more than one attorney to fleece' ten
clients: nay, says the correspondent, in his office there are
four certificated clerks ; so that, reckoning the attorney in chief,
there Is only one attorney to the fleecing of two clients, whick
will hardly pay. "If we deduct that number from the suns
total, it wilt, on reflection, make a great difference."—Cer-,
fairly ! The attorneys will not be much obliged to this de-
fender of the honour of the profession.—Spectator.

PARISIAN ANTIQUITIES.—An extensive common sewer, now
constructing in the Rue de la liarpe, has led to some highly
important uiscovcries relative to the direction in which the
magnificent palace of the Emperor Julian extended. The Ro-
man historian, Axamiauus Marcellinus, cotemporaryof Julian,
says, that the palace and gardens followed the directions of the
Seine; but till now it was not known whether the other parts
of the building extended cast or west of the vast hall which has
SO long been the admiration of the architect and antiquary.
But the deep excavations that have been making for some time
have disclosed a series of seven walls crossing the street in a
westerly direction; to the head of the walls, crossed the street,
at the intersection of the Rue du Foin, which is at No. 53;
therefore, the northern termination of this part of the palace is
now ascertained ; the succeeding walls crossed the street in
ascending southward. The entrance to the great hall is from
No. 63, and the corner of the Rue des Mathurins is No. 75;
here a wall turns to the eastward, and another continues up the

Rue de la liarpe, to the south. These walls, which are from
four and a half feet (English) to seven feet in thickness, are
built of the common limestone of the environs of Paris, with

quired such prodigious hardness, that to cut through the walls
is a very difficult operation. l'he bricks are about 17 inches

SOCIETY FOR THE SUPPRESSION OF JUVENILE VAGRANCY.
—Captain Brenton, R.N., whose exertions in this cause are de-
serving the warm praise of every public writer, has succeeded
in persuading the colonial . department to join the society in
sending out twenty young vagrants to be employed in agricul-
tural labour in the Cape of Good Hope, where labour of this
description is greatly wanted, and where subsistence in return
for it abounds. This is the right way to stop crime. " Catch
your thief young," can never be too often repeated. Thieving.
goes on in a geometrical progression: the boy of ten steals ten
times as much as the boy of twelve, and the boy of fifteen a
hundred times,—to say nothing of the greater atrocity of his
offences, and the number of comrades he draws into his society.
Two thousand pickpockets' aright be spread over South Africa,
among the different colonists, and never find a pocket to pick.
Besides, who steals with a full stomach, plenty of work, and no
bad society ?—they are little likely in those parts to have much
society, bad or good. This is the true penitentiary of small
crimes. If the scheme is largely and cleverly managed, it must
