Great progress has been making in the gigantic undertaking

In the circus at Preston, last week, a celebrated vaulter,
known as the " Mountain Stag," was thrown down whilst
leaping over twelve horses, in consequence of the swerving
of the last horse, and broke his collar bone and arm.
THE DUKE.—In the course of a discussion in the Lords
on Thursday evening, the Duke of Wellington said, " be
believed he was the only member of their lordships house
who had attended the house every day during the present
session."

THE NELSON MONUMENT.—The rapidity with which the
works of this national column are proceeding astonishes, it
is said, even the subscribers themselves. The two workmen
have actually succeeded in raising another stone. A third
hand is to be taken on immediately.—Punch.
MILITARY COMPOSITORS.—The Guernsey Star of Thurs-
day, June 23, gives the following reason for requesting ad-
vertisers to send in their advertisements for ❑ext publication
one day earlier than usual, viz.:—" in consequence of the
militia going out on Monday next, and the whole of the men
of our establisi.ment having to attend to their military
duties."
THE NEW CITY L COURTS.—The intention of the
corporation of the eh)/ of London to reconstruct the Courts
of Queen's Bench, Common Pleas, and Exchequer, will be
carried into immediate effect. Upon the termination of the
present sittings, which takes place on Friday, the 6th of July,
workmen will immediately commence pulling down the pre-
sent couits in Guildhall-yard, where the new courts are to
be situated.
We regret to hear, that in Bilston the state of the working
population is most distressing. One of the guardians has
assured us that the cases which are brought before him con-
tinually are such as to harrow his feelings, and deeply affect
his spirits. It is stated, that in that parish alone there are
3,000 persons in a state of complete destitution.—Birming-
ham Advertiser.
AWFULLY SUDDEN DE ATH.—A case of awfully sudden
death occurred in Thistle-street Baptist Chapel, Bristol, on
Sunday morning ; as Mr. Brown was giving out the hymn
to be sung, and repeating the following words :
" The bruised reed he'll never break,
Nor quench the smoking flax,"
he fell back and instantly expired.
SMOKING.—BERLIN, JUNE 10.—An association has been
formed on the principle of mutuality, for paying the fines of
such of the members as may be condemned for smoking in
the streets or public walks. It is supposed that the establish-
ment of this society will greatly increase the delinquency,
for many persons will be glad to get off by paying a slight
contribution. It is certain that there is more smoking in
Berlin than in any other great city.
SOUTH LANCASHIRE BANK.--The above joint-stock
bank, whose only office was in Manchester, closed its doors
voluntarily on Friday. By the prudent management of its
affairs, the whole paid-up capital has, it is understood, been
preserved. This is the fourth joint-stock bank that has be-
come extinct since 1837 in Manchester. There are nine
other banks remaining—viz., four joint-stock, four private,
and the Branch Bank of England.
BANKRUPTS IN NEW YORK.—The New York Morning
Courier and Enquirer of the 26th May last, contains the
number of bankrupt causes pending in the Bankruptcy Court
in New York, which occupy six and a half columns space,
and may thus be classified :—To be declared bankrupts, 73 ;
petitioners for discharge and certificate as bankrupts, 664 ;
making a total of 737 for the state of New York alone, of
whom 554 belonged to the city, and 183 to the surrounding
counties in that state, in one day !

REVENUE AND EXPENDITURE OF DENMARK IN THE
YEAR 1837.—The total income was £1,584,133, of which
£395,890 was derived from land-tax, £54,346 from house-
tax, £52,543 from tax upon rank and salaries, £27,511 from
tax upon property inherited, &c., £181,831 from woods and
forests and other Crown property, and £416,354 from cus-
toms and excise. The expenditure was £1,561,920, in-
cluding £521,065 for interest on the public debt, and £97,882
for payments to the sinking fund. The small revenue from
customs arose riot from low, but from almost prohibitory
duties.
The following are the receipts of railways for the past
week—that is to say, up to the date to which the respective
returns are made, viz. :—Manchester and Birmingham, £489;
Manchester and Leeds, £4,581 ; Birmingham and Derby,
£1,286 ; Hull and Selby, £3,000 ; Northern and Eastern,
£1,457 ; Birmingham and Glocester, £1,838 ; Birmingham,
£17,502, Midland Counties, £2,784; North Midland,
4,338 • York and North Midland, £1,732 ; Greenwich £855 ;
Edinburgh and Glasgow, £1,819 ; Great Western, 14,087 ;
and South-Western, £7,184.

TROLLOPISM IN ENGLAND.—On Monday last, at the
Southampton sessions, during the trial of 14 men for a riot,
one of the jurymen commenced smoking a cigar in the most
cavalier and impudent manner. The recorder, Mr. Serjeant
Cockburn, was so indignant, that he stopped the proceedings
of the court, gave the puffing juryman a severe lecture, de-
claring that his conduct was one of the grossest insults ever
offered in an English court of justice, and fined him £lO.
On the assembling of the court, the following morning, the
juryman made an apology to the court, and was excused pay-
ing the fine.
FAILURE IN SIIETLAND.—The extensive firm of Messrs.
Hag and Ogilvie, merchants and bankers, &c., in Lerwick,
have been obliged to suspend payment. The amount of the
failure, and the deposits in their hands as bankers, are con-
siderable, and the people of Lerwick and the whole of Shet-
land have, not without reason, been thrown into considerable
alarm and surprise by the event. Some shopkeepers, it is
said, had upwards of £l,OOO deposited with them, and nu-
merous other failures are expected to succeed. " Every-
thing," says a correspondent of the John 0' Groat Journal,
" appears to be paralysed in consequence of this untoward
event, and it will be a heavy blow and great discouragement
to the natives of the Shetland Isles."—lnverness Courier.

NEWSPAPER EXPRESSES IN FRANCE.—DEFEAT OF THE
FRENCH POST-OFFICE.—The judgment which has recently
excited so much interest in the mercantile world on account
of the French Post-office, which attempted to suppress the
practice of forwarding expresses by couriers on horseback,
and for which the courier of the Morning Herald was a short
time since condemned by the court of Boulogne to pay a fine
of 150 francs and costs, has been reversed by the court of St.
Omer, to which superior court an appeal was made. The
latter court has acquitted the courier Vivier without costs.
CAUTION TO MARINERS.—The following is an extract
from a communication received by the steam-ship Jupiter,
which arrived off the London-docks, on Thursday after-
noon, from Cronstadt :—" Elsineur, June 25. It is reported
that within the last few days there have been armed Swedish
boats on the Danish side of the channel, between Nakkeho-
ved and Kullen, making it, in the night time, unsafe for
ships to pass. A vessel being chased by such a boat, four
nights ago, took shelter under the Danish shore, and got
aground, in which situation she was fired at, towed from the
shore, and carried off.

MARRIAGES IN HIGH LIFE.—We understand Friday
next is the day fixed for the marriage of Lady Mildred Cecil,
daughter of the Marquis of Salisbury, and Mr. Alexander
Hope, son of Viscountess Beresford. The ceremony is to
take place at Hatfield, Herts, in the presence of a large party
of the relatives and friends of both families. After the so-
lemnisation the happy bride and bridegroom go to Bedge-
bury Park, Viscount Beresford's seat in Kent, for a few
weeks. It has also reached us that it is definitely arranged
that the nuptials of Lady Elizabeih de Rede Ginkle and the
Hon. Captain Villiers are to be solemnised on Tuesday
the 12th instant.

About two months ago a hairdresser in the rue St. Foy was
suddenly seized with a fit of mental alienation. He put on
his uniform as a national guard, took his musket, and placed
himself as sentry at one of the gates of the Tuileries, pushing
about those who entered without his permission, and speak-
ing incoherently. The poor man was sent to Charenton, and
his shop was shut up. The inhabitants of the rue St. Foy
had already forgotten him, when two days since, at noon, the
tranquillity of the neighbourhood was disburbed by a man,
seemingly deranged and miserably dressed, crying out " My
shop has been stolen from me—l want it back. It's the
King's fault if I stood sentry so long, but I will be even with
him, for to-morrow I shall have him only on one side." The
individual thus crying out was recognised to be the hair-
dresser, who had made his escape from Charenton, to which
he was speedily taken back by the commissary of police of
the district.

HOSIERY AND LACE TRADES.—The general dulness of
all branches of the hosiery trade still increases, and of course
the destitution of all employed. The silk glove branch,
which, after the frightful depression in 1835 (arising from the
loss of the French bobbin net trade), had suddenly increased,
and more than doubled the usual number of hands employed,
has for the last two years been gradually subsiding to its
former number. The number of Frenchmen employed in
making bobbin net is now computed at near 4000, and the
English bobbin net workmen in France at near 1500, making
about 5500 workmen engaged in working about 3100 ma-
chines ; whilst in England the workmen do not exceed 3500,
working less than 2000 machines ; of which about 1300 are
in the midland counties, principally in Nottinghamshire and
Derbyshire, the bobbin net trade being nearly extinct in the
county of Leicester.—Nottingham Journal.

IRISH GALLANTRY.—The ready wit of a true-born Irish-
man, however humble in his station, is exceeded only by his
gallantry. A few days since we observed a case in point. A
sudden gust of wind took a parasol out of the hand of its
owner; and before we had a chance to recollect whether it
would be etiquette to catch the parasol of a lady to whom
we had never been introduced, a lively Emeralder dropped
his hod of bricks, caught the parachute in the midst of its
Ellssler gyrations, and presented it to the owner with a bow,
which reminded us of poor Power. " Faith, ma'am," said
he, as he did so, " if you were as strong as you are hand-
some, it wouldn't have bone away from you." " Which
shall I thank you for first, the service or your compliment ?"
asked the lady smiling. " Troth, ma'am," said Pat, again
touching the place where once stood the brim of what was
once a beaver, " that look of your own beautiful eyes
thanked me for both !" If that hod carrier will issue pro-
posals to " tache the jontale," we'll do his advertising gratis,
and head his list of pupils. He has a genius for the thing.—

SECOND EDITION.

Standard-office, Nine o'clock

THE ATTACK ON THE QUEEN

(From last night's London Standard.)

The prisoner Bean was under examination until four
o'clock. The evidence of several witnesses was taken ; at
the conclusion of which the prisoner was remanded to Tot-
hill-street Prison, and ordered to be brought up again for
further examination on Wednesday next, at twelve o'clock.
The Council then adjourned.
The prisoner was then removed from the Home Office in
the custody of Inspector Hughes, by the back entrance, and
conveyed to Tothill-street in a cab, almost unnoticed by the
crowd. Nothing whatever has transpired as to the nature of
the evidence adduced before the Privy Council to-day.
Colonel Rowan was present during the inquiry.

Police-constable Hearn, 56 A division of police, and
Police-constable Claxton, 134, of the same division, have
we understand, been discharged the police force.

The prisoner's parents are honest and industrious persons,
but the would-be regicide has, for some time, led a question-
able career. During the last week, according to his own
account, he slept for two nights in the fields at Islington ;
and he says he bad but Sd. to subsist on throughout the week.
His parents appear to know nothing about the pistol, or
how he obtained it, and it is the opinion of the police that
he purloined it from a broker's shop. It is a very old pistol,
about nine inches in length, and inlaid with silver wire, but
is not out of repair; and the cause assigned for its non-ex-
plosion is the coarseness of the powder with which it was
charged.

Last week the traitor wrote his father a letter, which is
now in the hands of the police, of which we give an exact
copy :

- -
" Dear Father and Mother,—Thinking that you might
feel surprised at my prolonged absence, I write these few
lines to acquaint you that I am seeking employment, which,
if I do not obtain, I will not be dishonest, though 1 may be
desperate. It will be useless to seek me, as lam determined
never to be at home again. Please give my love to my bro-
thers, though they never used me as such. I have little
more to say, excepting, remember me to aunt and uncle, and
thank them for what they have. done for me. I should have
written to you sooner, but I did not like. Hoping you are
well, excuse this scribbling, nor think no more of me. I can
chide myself : your unhappy and obedient son,
J. BEAN.

Half-past two.
P.S. I took the money safe yesterday, directed to " Mr,
J. Bean, No. 14, St. James's-buildings, Clerkenwell."
There was no date to this letter. The post-mark was the
28th of June, 1812, and was put into the post at Islington.

EXECUTION OF COOPER, THE HIGHWAYMAN

AND MURDERER

The execution of Thomas Cooper. for the murder of
Timothy Daley, a policeman, at Ilighbury, took place yes-
terday morning at the usual place of execution in the Old
Bailey. The authorities of the gaol, by the orders of the
Sheriffs, refused admission to every stranger who applied.
Mr. Sheriff Rogers arrived at the gaol about seven o'clock,
and an application was made to him by the reporters to be
allowed admittance. He replied, in answer to the applica-
tion, that in consequence of some errors that had appeared
relative to statements alleged to have been made by Mr.
Sheriff Magnay at the last execution, it had been resolved
not to allow any reporters to be present on this occasion ;
but he said he would go and consult Mr. Magnay upon the
subject, and an answer should be sent. He also very
politely told the reporters that the Sheriffs did not wish to
prevent them from seeing the execution, and at the same
time pointed to the Old Bailey, intimating, no doubt, that
they might choose a position among the crowd. He then
went into the goal, promiising to send an answer, but none
arrived before the execution took place, and the reporters
then retired, without having had any opportunity of obtaining
the facts connected with the execution.

The following particulars have been obtained from various
sources. The culprit had latterly, to a very considerable ex-
tent, abandoned his former reckless demeanour, and had evi-
dently been affected by the exhortation of the chaplain ; he
also expressed contrition for the offence he had committed,
and admitted the justice of his sentence. He slept about
three hours on Sunday night. He got up about six o'clock,
and shortly afterwards Mr. Carver was admitted to his cell,
and remained with him until the hour of execution. The
culprit appeared to be very weak ; indeed his legs almost
failed him, and it was necessary to support him through the
passages of the gaol to the scaffold. Here he appeared some-
what to rally, and walked up the steps leading to the drop,
and the executioner immediately proceeded to perform his
duty. The wretched culprit again became very faint, and
just as be seemed on the point of falling to the ground the
bolt was drawn, and he appeared to die almost instantly.
The crowd assembled was very inconsiderable when com-
pared with those to witness the execution of Good and
Blakesley.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN SUSSEX.—On Thursday last, the
malthouses, buildings, and outhouses belonging to Mr. Bar-
ker, a malster, near Brighton, were totally consumed by
fire.

FATAL AFFRAY.—On Monday evening the neighbourhood.
of Great Ann-street, St. Philip's, was thrown into a state of
excitement from a rumour that an elderly man residing there
had beeb murdered. It appears that an affray took place be-
tween the deceased, whose name was James Edmunds, and
two lads named Thomas Jenkins and Thomas Palmer. In
the course of the fight, Jenkins struck Edmunds two heavy
blows, on which the wife of the deceased and a neighbour
assisted him into the house, when he almost immediately ex-
pired in their arms.—Bristol Journal.
BALLOON ASCENT.—On Monday evening, Mr. C. Gyeen,
veteran aeronaut, ascended in his balloon, the " Albion,"
from the gardens of the Royal Standard Tavern, Albert Sa-
loon, at Hoxton. It was announced as Mr. Green's 200dt1i
ascent, the first this season, and the last preparatory to his
intended voyage across the Atlantic, with the great Nassau
balloon, on a visit to America. The announcement attracted
a numerous company to the gardens. At precisely twenty
minutes to seven o'clock, Mr. Green stepped into the car,
and the balloon being freed from restraint, ascended amidst
the plaudits of the spectators, and having attained some
altitude, bore away towards the south-east.
DISTRESS IN LEEDS.
—MEETING OF SHOPKEEPERS.—
On Wednesday evening, a very numerous meeting of shop-
keepers and tradesmen generallywas hold at the Court-house
in Leeds, for the purpose of bringing before the public the
decay of their trade,
and of petitioning the queen and the
legislature to adopt instant measures for the alleviation of
the public distress. The mayor occupied the chair, and
many very important statements were made. The general
opinion of gentlemen present appeared to be, that a falling
off of about one-half had taken place in all retail trades ; and
the overseers gave a most alarming account of the spread of
pauperism. The meeting was in no ways connected with
party, being called by the mayor, in compliance with a writ-
ten requisition, signed by 216 tradesmen, embracing men of
all political parties. All the resolutions were carried unan-
imously.
THE IRISH PEASANTRY.—The conduct of the peasantry
at the burning of Lorrha glebe was highly commendable. It
was only last week the archdeacon returned, after a sojourn
of fifteen months on the continent, with his venerable rela-
tive, the lord bishop of this diocese, when he was met by the
people, and welcomed with acclamations, the horses taken
his
from carriage, and drawn home in the midst of the great-
est rejoicings. The house being so long without the family,
large fires were made for the purpose of airing it, when one of
the chimneys took fire, without creating alarm, and the family
went to bed, leaving it to " burn out " until about twelve
o'clock. On the night of Thursday, being affected with the
smoke, the archdeacon found the upper rooms in a blaze, in
consequence of a joist leading into the chimney having taken
fire. On the alarm being given, several hundreds of the pea-
santry came, and succeeded to a great extent in saving the
furniture ; but we regret to hear that several valuable arti-
cles of curiosity collected by the archdeacon during his re-
sidence abroad, together with the entire linen of the house,
were all consnmed. Several of the peasantry were severely
injured by the fire, having their hair and eyebrows scorched
•in rescuing the furniture from the flames ; the archdeacon is
a great favourite, from his giving constant employment to
the labouring people, and his charitable demeanour to the
poor, who had on this occasion no other means of evincing
their gratitude.—Limerick Chronicle.

HURRICANE IN FRANCE.—The Courrier de Lyons gives
an account of a terrible whirlwind on the 24th ult., at and
in the environs of Chauffailes, in the Saone et Loire, which
unroofed most of the houses of the town, scattering the tiles
and slates like so many feathers, and making the tall chimney
of a steam-engine bend like a reed. In its course it des-
troyed the crops and vegetation to a vast extent, dilapidated
whole forests, and rooted up many single trees. Some large
walnut trees were carried 200 yards from the spot where they
grew. In the commune of Chauffailes alone 124 houses were
destroyed, and one man killed ; at St. Uguy de Roche four
were killed:; and at Coublan nine persons perished. The
whole country was covered with wreck and ruin of every des-
cription. The Perfect and Sub-perfect immediately ordered
estimates to be made of the damage done, but it is so vast
that it will require a considerable time to make out the
return. Subscriptions for the relief of the poorer sufferers
have bee.i opened. In another account from Chauffailes,
published by the Journal du Rhone, it is stated that—" In
the small parish of Ccublans alone 130 houses were—not
thrown down, but carried away ; the roofs and beams flew
about in the air; six persons of the same family were crushed
to death, others mutilated ; poor infants were suffocated in
their cradles, carts lifted on to the roofs, entire forests torn
up, and the largest trees carried to an immense distance.
Those trees that remain standing are covered with mud to
the height of 10 feet, and look as if they had been scorched
by fire. The number of persons killed is already ascertained
to exceed 20. A great manufactory of spinning cotton had
just been erected at a short distance from us; all the ma-
sonry was finished, and the carpenters were putting on
,the
roof ; the whirlwind has not left one stone upon another. '—
Le Constitutionnel.

DREADFUL FIRE IN LONDON.—A most destructive fire
occurred about three o'clock on Thursday morning, on the
premises belonging to Mr. Ramsay, a painter, situated at
No. 13, Bermondsey Wall. An alarm aroused the family to
a sense of their danger ; and, by the time they had made
their escape, the whole of the premises presented a most
awful appearance. Before the engines arrived, so rapid had
been the ravages of the fire, that it had extended to the im-
mense range of premises belonging to Messrs. Cotton and
Owst, hoopbenders, on whose premises were deposited many
thousand loads of hoops, which soon ignited, and blazed
forth in an indescribable manner. The flames, being shifted
by the wind, simultaneously set light to the undermentioned
buildings :—No. 12, Bermondsey Wall, belonging to Mr.
Mansell, chemist; No. 11, the Golden Fleece, public-house;
Nos. 1,2, and 3, Salisbury Lane, belonging to Messrs.
Carver, Robertson, and French ; Nos. 42, 43, 44, and 45
opposite, belonging to Messrs. Honeyman, Goodacre, and
Moore, all of which are greatly damaged and all uninsured.
When the fire had reached this spot, the firemen were in
hopes that all fear of it extending further was at an end
but, all of a sudden, the roof and 01'4' walls of Messrs.
Cotton and Co.'s premises fell in with a tremendous crash,
and instantly after the flames shot forth with increased vio-
lence. About four o'clock the wind shifted, and the flames
were blown right across the street to Crosby Place, setting
fire to the private house belonging to T. Bramley, Esq.
which is partly demolished ; it then laid hold of Captain
Page's residence, being No. 3, which is considerably da-
maged; No. 1, belonging to Mr. Wheeler, is partly con-
sumed ; No. 2, Mr. Fleming, is quite down ; No. 4, Mr.
Little, potato merchant, quite down ; Messrs. Landels' gra-
naries, No. 14, Bermondsey Wall, totally destroyed, with
an immense quantity of corn; Mr. Spry, baker, No. 15;
Mr. Saunders, cookshop keeper, No. 16; and an uninhabited
house, all three quite destroyed. Many of the above houses
are uninsured. Notwithstanding the fire broke out at three
o'clock, it is unextinguished at the hour this account is
written (half-past one). The engines are still pouring im-
mense streams of water upon the burning buildings. The
loss of property must be immense.—Standard of Thurs.
d• —On Friday another fire broke out in the premises of
Mr.O'Neil, 16, Bermondsey-street, which entirely reduced
thehouse and furniture to ruins, and considerably damaged
the adjoining premises.

LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, JULY 1.
There was but little English Wheat offered on sale this morning,
and prices were the same as on Monday, The market for foreign
was very flat, and the business transacted was to a limited extent,
but there was no difference in value. Bonded is much neglected
for want of speculative demand. Barley comes sparingly to market,
and commands the same prices. Peas and Beans are unaltered i►►
value, The Oat trade is nominally the same as on Monday.
Arrivals this Week.—English Wheat, 4,370 qrs; Barley, 1,110 qrs ;
Oats, 5,720 qrs ; Flour, 3,440 sacks. Irish Oats, 1,800 qrs . Foreign,
Wheat, 8,310 qrs; Oats, 3,780 qrs.

SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, JULY 1.
Notwithstanding the supply of Beasts in to-day's market was
unusually limited, there was a very dull inquiry for Beef, while the
prices of Monday last were with difficulty supported. The number
of Sheep were on the decrease, while the sale for them was heavy,
at late rates. With Lambs we were moderately supplied. Prime
Essex qualities moved off slowly, at full prices; but other descrip-
tions were a mere drug. Calves were in great supply, and heavy
demand, at barely last week's reduced currencies. In Pigs searcely
anything was doing, and the quotations declined quite 2d per 81b.
The fresh arrivals of stock were quite anticipated. Milch Cows
sold at from £l6 to i'2o
