MISCELLANEOUS

A Yaiikee paper states, that there " is a sick debttir in the
leighbourhood of New York, whose creditors paid hint a

found him so feeble, that he warn't able to
single pound." This species of sickness is very infe
and we tear there are many English debtors in the sai
tressing state of debility.
A MISER'S CONSOLATION.—Sir John Cutler w

known as a complete miser; he boasted that Providence had
showed him peculiar favour in causing his natal day to fall on
the 29th of February, so that he had but one birthday to
fall on the 29th of February, so that he had but one birthday
to keep in four years.
One telling another that he had once so excellent a gun,
that it went off immediately on a thief's coming into the
house, although it was not charged. " How the devil can
that be ?" said the other. " Because," said the first, " the
thief carried it off; and, what was worse, before I had time
to charge him with it."
ORNITHOLOGICAL CURIOSITY.—Did ever any of our
sporting readers know of a landrail or coritcraik killed in
winter, say betwixt November and March ? Rigby Watson,
Esq., of Corwar, M.P., killed one on the 10th current, on
the lands of Drunilarnford, which he has ordered to be stuffed
and sent to the Ayr Mechanics' Museum.—Ayr Advertiser.
IRISH MILESTONES.—A stranger riding along the road
observed that all the milestones were turned in a particular
way, not facing the road, but rather averted from it. He
called to a countryman, and inquired the reason. " Oh,
bless you, sir," replied the man, " the wind is so strong
sometimes in these parts, that if we wer' n't to turn the backs
of the milestones to it, the figures would be blown off them,
clear and clean."
MARRIAGE OF JEWS WITH CHRISTIANS.—The second
Chamber of Hanover rejected, on the 13th instant, a pro-
position having for its object to permit the marriage of Jews
with Christians, on condition that the children should be
brought up in the Christian religion, or, at least, to declare
valid marriages contracted between Jews and Christians in
foreign countries, without any intention on their part of
eluding Hanoverian laws.
Mr. Cresswell, on Thursday last, after the usual ceremo-
nies, was admitted to the state and degree of a serjeant-at-
law, and then took his seat on the bench as one of the jus-
tices of her Majesty's Court of Common Pleas. His lord-
ship, however, did not sit more than a few minutes. There
was a large attendance of the members of the bar belonging
to the northern circuit to witness the ceremony. His lord-
ship presided at the trial of a few causes at Nisi Prius on
Friday.

THREE BOYS DROWNED AT KNARESBOROURD.— 011
Saturday last, an inquest was held before John Wood, Esq.,
coroner, at Knaresborougb, on view of the bodies of Alban
Leckenby, aged 13 years, James Leckenby, aged 11 years,
and Reuben Ingram, aged 10 years, who were accidentally
drowned in the river Nidd, on the previous Thursday night.
It seems that the unfortunate youths had gone down to play
upon the ice before it was sufficiently strong to bear them.
The jury returned verdicts of Accidental death."

Recent intelligence from New South Wales furnishes us
with some information as to the employment of Bolam, the
assassin of poor Millie. It appears that he is in good health,
and that he has a situation which much resembles that of a
washerwoman's assistant. He is employed to take away the
foul linen from the barracks at Sydney, to a place of some
miles distance, where it is convenient to have them washed.
He then brings it back clean, and returns it carefully as to
quantity to the proper authorities.—Our informant does not
state whether he does anything in the ironing or mangling
department.—Tyne Mercury.

A HUSBAND FOR ANYBODY.—The following communi-
cation, with which we have been favoured, is inserted ex-
actly according to " copy" :—" Deare Sur,—l hop you will

THREE AWFUL INSTANCES OF SUDDEN DEATH.—On
Wednesday last, Mr. Mason, wheelwright, of Upper Eating-
ton, near Shipston-on-Stour, in going towards his shop,
suddenly dropped down and expired. The following day,
Mr. J. Harrison, of Stratford-on-Avon, in going over his
field fell down and never spoke again. On the same day,
Sarah, the wife of Mr. Decimus Slatter, of Ihnington, while
going across the kitchen with a decanter in her hand, sud-
denly fell down and expired immediately. The deceased was
the third wife of the above named gentleman, and had not
been married to him twelve months.—Worcester Journal.
FRACTURE AND COLLAPSE OF A BOILER FLUE.—
THREE MEN KILLED.—About twenty minutes after two
o'clock on Wednesday last, an accident, attended with most
disastrous results, occurred in the boiler-house attached to
the cotton mill of Messrs. John Pooley and Son, Clarence-
street, near the Cavalry Barracks, Hulme. This was caused
by the rent and collapse of an internal boiler flue, which
immediately caused the steam, hot water, fire, burning coals,
&c., to be driven out of the fire-doors with tremendous
force, scalding four men so dreadfully that three of them
died the same day, and the fourth is still in a very precari-
ous state.—Manchester Guardian.

DEATH OF MR. Ducrow.—lt is with regret that we an-
nounce the death of this remarkable man, who expired on
Thursday night at his house, No. 19, York-road, Lambeth.
The dreadful shock received by the late Mr. Ducrow from
the conflagration of the Amphitheatre last June, which ter-
minated in the death of one of his oldest servants, and the
destruction of the whole of his theatrical property, induced
a state of insanity, from which he never wholly recovered.
On Saturday week he was seized with a paralytic stroke,
after which he never rallied. Mr. Ducrow was in his 54th
year. He was twice married; in 1818 to Miss Griffith, of
Liverpool, who died some years ago, and was buried in a
splendid mausoleum in the cemetery at Kensal-green. He
was secondly united to Miss Woolford, the celebrated eques-
trian, who survives him, with, we believe, one or two chil-
dren. He had no children by his first wife, but adopted, in
his life time, the "petit Ducrow," a brother's child, whom
he treated with the same affection he extended to his mother
and all his relations.

NEW LINE OF AMERICAN PACKET SIIIPS.—The brig
Messenger, Capt. Ellis, has just arrived in the St. Katherine
Dock, from Boston, United States, and is the first vessel of
a line of packets which will run regularly hereafter between

Bo.ston and London ; and if the aperiinent succeeds new

and large ships of the size and model of the New York, Li-
verpool, and London line, will take the policies of the present
vessels. The Messenger has made a good voyage, and comes
laden with American produce. There is little doubt of the
ultimate success of this new line, as the rapid growth of
Boston, the opening of the railroad to Albany, by which the
vast quantities of western produce can be conveyed at a rapid
rate to Boston, the royal mail steamers from Liverpool, the
Eastern Railroad, which is to be continued to the Bay of
Fundy, the numerous branch railroads, all continue to assist
the trade of Boston, and there is reason to believe that a line
of packets direct to London will prove profitable to the
enterprising merchants who have started the project.—Lon-
don Standard.

It is stated in Mincing-lane that the tenour of the answer
received from the Board of Trade respecting the memorial
addressed by the coffee importers and others for the reduc-
tion of the duties at present levied on the various descrip-
tions is favourable; that the officials there will be glad to
communicate with the trade on the matter, and that an early
day will be appointed for the consideration of the arguments
the memorialists have to advance. Messrs. Franks and Co.
in their circular speak confidently of a reduction taking place,
the Government being, according to their representations,
desirous of encouraging the article. However, doubts seem
to arise in the minds of parties intimately connected with the
trade as to the policy of making any further reduction of the
duty payable upon foreign, the reason assigned being that
there is already sufficient competition in the market by the
9d. duty, which brings in large quantities of coffee, the pro-
duce of the Dutch colonies, who are already successfully
trenching upon the consumption of our \%est India produc-
tion by such legalized importation.—Times.

FORTUNATE ESCAPE OF HER MAJESTY'S SHIP VIN-
DICTIVE.—The Vindictive, 50, which got around on the edge
of the Dean Bank, Portsmouth, during the gale of Wednes-
day, was fortunately got off, and has obtained safe anchor-
age, owing to the fortunate circumstance of the wind sad-
denry shifting last night to N. and W., in a heavy squall at
the top of high water, when the Vindictive floated and im-
mediately got under weigh. Great fears were entertained up
to alate hour on Wednesday night for the safety of this fine
frigate. Had the gale backed round to S.S.E., which from
the appearance of the weather it so threatened, the Vindictive
must have been, in all probability, a lost ship, We learn she
makes upwards of 19 inches of water per hour, and that she
is greatly damaged. At an early hour on Thursday morning
every assistance from the dockyard was given to get her into
the harbour, but without succeeding. She is ordered to be
docked, and examined forthwith. Rear-Admiral Sir Tho-
mas Cochrane, C. 8., arrived here last night, having been
ordered to hoist his flag this day on board the Vindictive, as
Commander-in-Chief in the East Indies. Owing to the
Vindictive having been so unexpectedly disabled, Sir Thomas
hoisted his flag on board her Majesty's ship Excellent, and
struck it at sunset.

THE AGGRIEVED PEASANT.—In Frederick William's ex-
cursions the meanest of his subjects was allowed access to
his Majesty. One day, a peasant ran along by his carriage,
holding up a paper. The King ordered the driver to stop,
took the paper, and was surprised to find upon it no writing,
but merely a square, containing nothing but scrawls and
blots of ink. He inquired what it meant. The peasant said,
that being unable to write, he could not describe his case any
other way than by this drawing. " Well," said the King,
just explain it to me." The peasant, mounting upon te
step of the carriage, began thus in his low German dialect :
"This here, look you, is my turnip field, and those are my
turnips • ah ; such turnips, Mr. King, you ought to taste
them—they are nice, indeed."—" Go on," said the King.
" Well, there, here, look you," continued the peasant, point-
ing to the blots, " are the amtmann's pigs; they have got in
and ate up my nice turnips, so I am now a ruined man. Dear
Mr. King, the amtmann will not pay me for the damage, and
that's very wrong, and so I want just to beg you to be so
kind as to send word to the amtmann to pay me for my tur-
nips. I shan't begrudge a dish of turnips, and I'll be sure
to bring you some, if you'll see me righted." The king or-
dered the name of the village, of the amtmann, and of the
peasant, to be taken down, and promised to help him. The
village was not far from Berlin, and he sent the same day a
jager to the amtmann, with a very serious admonition to
make the peasant immediate compensation. This had the
desired effect; the amtmann not only satisfied the demands
of the complainant, but gave him more than he had asked.
A day or two afterwards, the peasant laden with a bag full of
turnips, entered the King's antechamber. His majesty or-
dered him to be admitted. The peasant, by way of express-
ing his acknowledgement, emptied his bag of turnips on the
table; then picking out a few small ones, he handed them to
the Queen, telling her that, if she would keep one of them in
her mouth when she was spinning, it would help her to wet
the thread properly. The Queen was pleaged with the good
familiarity of the man, and he was dismissed with a present.

THE TEXAN LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.—The Texan
ladies seldom show themselves to strangers, and, like those
of the United States, they use either the pipe or the swab.
They have little neatness or cleanliness of person to attract
the eye. Their figures are scarcely to be described ; coarse,
from neglect, or emaciated by self-indulgence, their skins
have borrowed from the sun the exact hue of the lemon ; and
if the countenance be a true index of the mind, I doubt not
that their dispositions have somwhat of the peculiar flavour
of that sour bullet of the tropic; but yet, to those who ad-
mire silence above everything else in woman, permit me to
introduce the ladies of Texas, par excellence, as mutes. The
usual salutation of the Texan gentlemen is, " How does your
copperosity sagaciate this morning ?"—blow are you now ?"
(this is all after an absence of some years.) " A pretty con-
siderable of a jug full of sun this morning,"—A carnation
up-street sort of a day this, I calculate." On entering into
conversation, they take out their knives and commence
" whittling." So great is their propensity for " whittling,"
that they frequently, if sitting on a chair, put down their
hand and bring it up again with a long slice off one of the
legs, which they begin to " whittle," and " calculate" the
exact value per thousand of the wood of which the chairs are
made. When speaking of those men who have been fortu-
nate enough to gain their esteem, they say, " He's an up-
street man that,"_.."

Mrs. Beaumont Smith is now living near Fitzroy-square,
and on Tuesday was to leave town for Portsmouth, to visit her
wretched husband previous to his departure from our shores.
She was a widow when he married her, and has a son by her
former husband. Her own property is secured upon her.

IMPORTANCE OF PROPERLY SIGNING WILLS.—In the
Prerogative Court, last week, the will of Ellen Leslie, who
died at Brighton in Nov., 1841, leaving property to the value
of £4,000, was refused probate because the two witnesses,
Mr. Gordon, of Assington-hall, and Sir Matthew Tierney,
had not seen her subscribe her name to it, although she in-
formed them that it was her last will, and stated the signa-
ture to be hers.

able property in the county. —Ten Town.? Messenger.

THE OPENING OF PARLIAMENT.—Lord Willoughby D'
Eresby has received the usual official notice from the Lord
Chamberlain's department of the intention of her Majesty
to open the ensuing session of parliament on Thursday next
in person ; and Mr. Pulman, the deputy black rod, is daily
engaged at the House of Lords in directing the necessary
preparations, as the ceremony will derive an unusual splen-
dour from the circumstance of the visit of the King of Prus-
sia, who will be present. The state chair of his Majesty will
be placed on the right of the Queen, and on the left of these,
seats will be provided for the Duchesy of Kent, Gloucester,
and Cambridge, and the Princess Augusta of Cambridge.
The King of Prussia will go in separate state to the house,
and will be received with the usual honours paid to crowned
heads.

France, M. Guizot solemnly declared in his calm and elo-
quent speech in the Chamber of Deputies on Tuesday last,
is not only wishful to maintain friendly relations with Spain,
but is disposed to do that country every good office within
its power. We are enabled to opportunely illustrate the
sincerity of this declaration. At the very moment when the
Salvandy complication arose at Madrid, M. Guizot was, we
are assured by competent authority, engaged, in concert with
the Earl of Aberdeen, in an endeavour to induce the Austrian
and Prussian cabinets to recognise the Queen of Spain. This
negotiation was, moreover, on the eve of success when the
obstinacy of the Spanish ministers awakened the mistrust of
these powers, and frustrated the negotiation. —Morning

DREADFUL STEAM BOILER EXPLOSION IN SHEFFIELD.
—Yesterday (Monday) morning, about seven o!clock, the
neighbourhood of Philadephia Works in this town, was alarm-
ed by a report, loud as a discharge of artillery, occasioned
by the explosion of a large steam-boiler on that establish-
ment, the precise cause of which has not yet been explained.
Both of the bottom ends of the boiler were blown completely
out, though it is stated that the steam had not been got
thoroughly up, and that there was such a sufficiency of water
as to wash the gravel off a road at some distance when the
explosion occurred. The engine was one of forty-horse
power ; and its tenter, George Rhodes, was thrown violently
into the adjoining dam by the convulsion ; but it is hoped he
is not very dangerously injured ; whilst Joseph Simpson, a
man temporarily engaged at the works, was projected a
distance of at least twenty yards, where he was found with
his head bowed close to his belly, in a state which leaves little
hope of his recovery. Both the unfortunate men were imme-
diately taken to the Infirmary. After the accident, many
marks of its terrific nature might be seen around. Several
ponderous materials had been thrown into the dam, breaking
a wooden bridge with their weight. Immense quantities of
shattered bricks, stones, &c., had been Orown each way at
least one hundred yards from the spot, and the boiler was
loosned on its standing. Besides the loss the proprietors
will sustain by this accident, it is more deeply to be regretted
that a deserving family is likely to be bereft of its sole support,
poor Simpson having a wife and three young children depen-
ding on his labour. He is said to have been a remarkably
worthy and industrious man, and we sincerely hope that every
possible effort will be made to alleviate the distress this oc-
currence cannot fail to occasion in his family.—Sheffield his.
BRUTAL MURDER OF A WIFE BY HER HUSBAND.—
On Sunday night last, one of the mast brutal murders which
it has ever been our painful duty to record, was committed
in the immediate neighbourhood of this town, on the Bally-
nafeigh-toad, which leads from the Lagan village to Newton-
breda, by a person named James Lindsay, clerk to Messrs.
Coates and Young, of the Lagan foundry. He had been
drinking, and returned home about eleven o'clock on that
night, and was let in by the servant boy ; he then went to the
girl's bed-room and asked her if she had brought her mistress
any spirits that day, and we understand that the girl said she
had got half a pint at a neighbouring public house. The boy
and girl then left the house and went into an out-office to
save themselves being abused, which they feared. When
Lindsay got the house to himself he commenced to beat his
wife, and the servants heard her cry in the night, and in the
morning found her dead in the kitchen, with her head severely
cut, her body blackened all over as if it had been done by
kicks, two of her fingers and one of her arms broken, and a
large quantity of blood on her clothes, and on the bed in
which she had been lying. After he had committed the fatal
deed, he went for Dr. Murray, of Ballymacarrett, and re-
turned with him to the house. We understand he then
called on William Coates, Esq., J.P., one of his employers,
and stated that his wife was dead, and that he was sorry for
it, as be had given her a beating with a stick. At the in-
quest a verdict of wilful murder was returned.—Belfast
Chronicle.

THE LATE FIRE AT THE TONVER.—An official return has
just been made to the Board of Ordnance of the exact amount
of military and naval stores destroyed in the Great Armoury
during the late fire. From this it appears that at the period
of the fire the number of arms in the armoury was considera-
bly below the average amount, which is 600,000 stand. The
number of percussion-muskets destroyed was 11,000, with
bayonets 26,000, flint-locks 22,000, percussion-locks 7,000,
12,158 pistols, 75 double-barrelled pistols, with moveable
butts, 1,378 swords, 2,271 sword-blades, 2,026 plug-bayonets,
192 spears, 95 pikes, 210 rnusquetoons, 709 carbines, 3 wall-
pieces, 279 cuirasses, 276 helmets, and 52 drums. Amongst
the relics destroyed was a military trophy, only erected under
the direction of Mr. Stacey, the keeper of the stores in the
armour), two days prior to the fire, consisting of Chinese
arms, &c., taken by the British troops at the capture of
Cbusan. Several of the large pieces of ordnance still remain
in the ruins, and in the south-west portion some have be-
come so amalgamated with the other metal by the fire as to
form a mass of such magnitude as to render its removal next
to an impossibility. The west-end wall of the armoury is
razed to the ground. The Board of Ordnance have deter-
mined on preserving to the public most of the large cannon
and other trophies of England's glory which are in any way
whole, and orders have been issued that those which are in-
jured or broken shall be sent to Woolwich, where models
will be taken, and the same metal re-cast into their original
form. The loss sustained by the fire is now estimated to be
a quarter of a million of money. The crown-jewels have not
yet left the custody of Messrs. Rundell and Bridge.

THE JURISDICTION OF MAGISTRATES IN CASES OF
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MASTERS AND APPRENTICES.—
On Friday last, at the Mansion-house, London, the Lord
Mayor stated that the City solicitor had received a letter
from Devonport on the subject of the authority of magi-
grates in matters of dispute between masters and appren-
tices. The question was one of great interest and impor-
tance, particularly in the extensive manufacturing towns of
the three kingdoms, and the confirmation of Mr. Pearson's
opinion by the law officers of the crown would, no doubt,
give high satisfaction. His lordship then read the letter,
which is as follows, in order that its important contents
might be as publicly known as possible :
Devonport, January 22, 1842.
Sir,—lt is with pleasure I inform you that a memorial
which I had the honour of forwarding from the merchants,
manufacturers, and tradesmen of the borough of Devonport,
to Sir George Grey, Bart., M.P., for presentation to the
Secretary of State, praying the interference of her Majesty's
government on the subject of the jurisdiction of magistrates
in cases of difference between masters and apprentices where
no premium has been given to the former, was forwarded to
the Home Secretary • and that Sir James Graham has been
pleased to submit the question to the law officers of the
crown ;

" And that I have received a communication, through the
hands of Sir George Grey, from the Home-office, dated

January 17th, 1842, that the law officers of the crown have
reported on the above subject, and are of opinion that the
magistrates have jurisdiction.
I beg to say that you are at liberty to make what use
you think proper of this communication else, if a duplicate
of the original papers from the Home-office will be of any
service to you, they will be forwariled at your request.—l
have the honour to be, sir, yours respectfully,
"HECTOR MUNRO CROCKER.
" To Charles Pearson, Esq.,
the City of London Solicitor."
His lordship observed that the communication was likely to
produce a very favourable effect, as numbers of apprentices
had in various places manifested a very formidable spirit of
insubordination, in consequence of the general impression
that an apprentice with whom no premium was given was
under no obligation to attend to the commands of his master.
Mr. Hobler said he was present when the city solicitor de-
livered the opinion, and his lordship acted upon it, by sen-
tencing a refractory apprentice to imprisonment, and he had
heard since that the decision had completely changed the
tone of those apprentices whose masters were humane and

considerate enough not to require any premium

THE TERM " CATHOLIC."—The late Oxford controversy
has left a legacy of inconvenience in the uncertainty into
which it has cast the meaning of certain important words—
words rendered important by the arguments which it has
been attempted to deduce from their etymology. The term
Catholic and Protestant—though neither is to be found in
the Scriptures in the sense in which they have been applied
—are treated as if they had, like the letter in the Gematica
of the Kavbalides, a specific and mystic power, and the most
violent deductions are made from them. We need, however,
scarcely to remind our readers that " Catholic " means sim-
ply universal ; and that when it is applied to the Church it
means neither more nor less than the whole community of
Christian worshippers on the face of the darth. In this sense
—its only proper sense--it is not merely different from, it is
contrasted to, the Church of any particular country ; here
can be no such thing as a Catholic Church of England, or a
Catholic Church of Rome. though the Church of England
belongs to the Catholic Church. As to the so-called Church
of Rome, it is, according to our articles, no Church at all;
therefore it is neither the,Catholic Church nor part of the
Catholic Church, although, questionless, millions of Ro-
manists a! e members of the universal church, and, as such,
good Catholics. There is something curious and not unin-
structive, in the assumption of the title Catholic by the Ro-
manist community. For about eight centuries, that is, while
the West of Christendom lay in ignorance, and rested in
communion with Rome, " the Church "—as it is called—" of
Rome," was cemented with that title—it called itself the
Church of Rome, or the Roman Church. It was not until
the reformation warned the Vatican that it was likely to lose
large divisions of its votaries, that, among other devices to re-
tain its influence, the Papacy claimed a monopoly of Chris-
tianity, by calling itself uniformly the Catholic, that is, the
Universal Church. This title adopted for the very purpose
of excluding Us from the name of Christians, we have
weakly submitted to ; and now we have this submission—
the effect of good humour or inadvertance—employed as ar-,
gument to wrest from us the Christian liberty earned by our
ethers. We have more to say on this subject, though it is
one to which we do not like to advert, but we shall try to
discharge ourselves of if once for all.—Lendon Standard.
