Forbes as one of the sixteen representative peers for Scot-
land.—Caledonian Mercury.

mise for it a vitality of considerable duration.

It is estimated that within the last fortnight a million
mackerel have been caught in St. Ives and Penzance bays.
The markets of Bristol, (per Herald steamer,) Bath, and
London, have been supplied with them, and many were sold

On Tuesday last the government entered into a contract
with Messrs. Learmouth, the principal army accoutrement
makers, for 10,000 sets of accoutrements, to be supplied
forthwith. This order confirms the general impression that
the army is about to be considerably increased.—Standard.
MINING IN Low FURNESS.-11C Halifax Guardian says
renewed exertions are about to be made in Low Furness to
find coal. Geologists say, taking Furness Abbey as the cen-
tre of a circle, that within six miles round all minerals are to

be found which are found in any other part of England.
RETIZIBUTION.—The Courrier Francais states, that many
complaints are made against the directors of the Paris and
Rouen Railroad Company, who have tided their offices with
English clerks, whilst so many Frenchmen are starving for
want of employment in Paris.

Another destructive fire broke out on Tuesday, in the rape
mills of Messrs. Grubb, of Lear Island, near Clonmel, which
consumed the whole concern, although a powerful engine,
belonging to the National Insurance Company, was promptly
in attendance. The property consumed amounted to upwards
of £IO,OOO ; and in this case, too, the property was uninsured.
FIRE AT BRENTWOOD.—TOREE HOUSES CONSUMED.—
On Friday information was received at the principal insu-
rance-offices in the City, of a fire of a most serious descrip-
tion breaking out on the night of Tuesday last, in Iligh-
street, Brentwood, which burnt fiercely for tour hours, des-
troying three houses, and property to a vast extent.

VERY COMFORTABLE.—Amongst the declarations of the
Spanish government, owing to the recent changes, we find
one, that the payment of taxes from let January last, is de-
clared facultative—i. e. may be paid or not." We should
like to know the exact- amount due and the sum that will be
paid after this notice.

It was stated by Mr. Commissioner Holroyd, a few days
ago, at the Court of Bankruptcy, London, that since the new
act came into operation in November last, there had been no

fewer than seventy cases of insolvency before the court, in

which the debts amounted to at least £50,000, and all the
funds to be divided under these various estates did not amount
to more than £2OO.
ANNIVERSARY MEETING OF CHARITY CHILDREN AT
ST. PAUL'S CATHEDRAL.—This interesting ceremony took
place on Thursday in the metropolitan cathedral, and was at-
tended by a very numerous congregation. The children from
the various parochial and district schools amounted to about
5000; and we understand the number would have been larger
had there been sufficient space left for en additional portion.
OPERA ETIQUETTE.—An officer in the army was on Tues-
day last charged at Marlborough-strret with assaulting one
of the check-takers at the Opera-house ; the latter having
refused the former admission into the pit of the theatre, in
consequence of his wearing grey trousers, which dress was
contrary to the opera regulations. The case being proved,
the defendant was fined 1:5, which was immediately paid.
Nom RAILWAY TRAVaLLEAS.—O❑ Tuesday, the 23d

ult., a fine swarm of bees proleeded by the mail train from
Bristol to London ; they swarmed between two and three
o'clock that day at Clifton ; were domiciled in a wooden hive
with glass windows, and secured for their journey, tint
evening ; and on the folltiwing morning were collecting sweets
in the fields near Paddington, the place of their future abode.
A fine steam-ship, built expressly for the Brazilian Govern-
ment,was launched, on Thursday last, from a dock-yard near
the West India Docks, London. She is to have two 70
horse-power engines. There are no less than six steam-ships
fitting out in these docks for foreign governments, viz„ two
for the Russian service, one Neapolitan, 0/IC Turkish, one
Brazilian, and one Belgium.
NEW STEAM-FIIIGATE.—A new fivt-class steam-frigate,
to he called the " Infernal," was launched at Woolwich on
the Ist instant. The following arc her dimensions :—Length
between the perpendiculars, 180 feet; length of keel for ton-
nage, 156 feet 42 inches ; breadth, extreme, 36 feet ; ditto for
tonnage, 35 feet 8 inches; ditto moulded, 35 feet; depth in
engine-room, 21 feet; burthen in tons, old plan, 1,058 20-94 ;

DREADFUL ACCIDENT AT MANCHESTER.—A boiler burst
in the Medlock dyeworks of Messrs. Hulme and Sons, at
Failsworth, near Manchester. on Wednesday. Steam was
supplied from one boiler to a number of dyeshops ; many
dyers happened to turn back their steam at once, and the
boiler exploded. One man near it was dashed against the
wall, thrown on the ground, and deluged with scalding water.
He died in a few hours. A second was much scalded; and
others were more or less hurt.

TILE VOLUNTARY SYSTEM.—Advertisements appear in
the Shrewsbury papers stating that Master Joel Hodgson,
" a juvenile preacher, and an extraordinary youth." aged 11,
will deliver two sermons at the Primitive Methodist Chapel,
Wrockwardine Wood, Salop, on Sunday, June 18. Persons
desirous of hearing this astonishing youth are to pay one shil-
ling, in order that they may be accommodated with com-
fortable seats.

SOUTHAMPTON, JUNE 1.—N0v55. PRESENT TO THE
PACII A OF EGYPT.—Amongst the miscellaneous cargo car-
ried out to Egypt to-day, by the Great Liverpool was a case
of six splendid salmon, caught at Mr. Tamlyn's fishery in
the river Tea, near this town. They were well packed with
ice, and there is little doubt of their arriving at their desti-
nation in good condition. As this description of fish I.as
never yet been seen in Egypt, it will indeed be a rarity.
They were all caught this morning.

A boy, twelve years of age, named Reubin Artist, commit-
ted suicide by hanging himself last week, through fear of being
punished by his father for having attempted to deceive his
mother and appropriate twopence to himself. She sent the
youth to buy a certain quantity of rum for sixpence, but he
got a common sort fur fourpence, and she discovered the
trick, and told him his father should punish him ; on hearing
which the youth went into some houses that his father was
building, and committed the fatal deed we have named.

THE MILITARY OUTRAGE AT MANCIIESTER.—The in.
quiry which has been going on for the last twe days, before
General Sir W. Warre, was brought to a close on Wednes-
day everting. It appears that the inquiry has led to some
disclosures which are said to be not very creditable to some
of the officers of the police, though Geheral Warre, according
to one of the Manchester papers, stated that nothing had
transpired which could afford the slightest justification for
the conduct of the soldiery. It is confidently stated, that
one or more courts martial will be held.

SHOCKING ACCIDENT.—On Thursday last a large com-
pany assembled to witness the laying of the foundation
stone of Llanymyn new church, by Viscount Dungannon,
M.P.; and as Miss Tennant, daughter of Mr. Tennant, of
Rhysnant, was proceeding. to the scene, on a blind horse,
when on Llanymynech-bridge, a clap of thunder startled the
animal, which swerved round and ran against the parapet of
the bridge, part of which he forced away with his chest, pre-
cipitated Miss Tennant into the river. The young lady
floated several yards, but before assistance could reach her
sank in death.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, JUNE 5

A considerable clearance of all descriptions of Butter was ef-
fected last week, and holders were enabled to obtain an advance of
25 per cwt. To-day the price of fine Kilkenny, Carrick and Wa.
terfcrd, may he fairly stated at 308. Some Butter with the brand
" Carlow,'. upon it, (but perfectly unworthy the name and cha
racter,) has been sold at 7is to 758. Pickled Butter 81s to 82s.
There is no novelty in the Provision market, and Bacon has an
upward tendency with an improved demand.
