the Times and Standard newspaper offices, in this town,

PROTESTANT REFORMATION SocfETY.—At theirweekly
meeting on Friday, this society agreed to an address to the
Earl of Enniskillen and his fellow-excursionists, on their
providential escape from one of the foulest, blackest con-
spiracies that ever stained Ireland's history. Several mem-
bers addressed the meeting, and all attributed the
atrocious act to Jesuitism and the teaching of the May-
nooth priests.

FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Thursday, James Louis Mil-
drum, aged 20, of No. 12 Pilot-boat, whilst cruising off
Point Lynas, went aloft to reef haulyards for flagstaff,
when he missed his hold, fell overboard, and instantly
disappeard. Every exertion made by those on board to
save him was unavailing, and the body has not since been
heard of.

ANIMOSITY between Irish and English has been carried
to the extent of rioting at Ashton ; the windows of the
Irish were smashed, some of their property destroyed,
and their chapel threatened, in retaliation for a cowardly
attack on an English boy. The magistrates swore in
special constables, who paraded the streets at night, and
the military were kept in readiness ; fortunately quiet
was soon restored.

FATAL ACCIDENTS.—On Saturday evening a seaman,
named Hugh Williams, (or Hugh Hughes), was walk-
ing along Prince's pier-head, in a state of intoxication,
when he toppled over, and fell on the gangway leading
to the small landing-stage. He was immediately picked
up, and conveyed to the Northern Hospital, but on his
arrival there the medical officer pronounced life to be
extinct. Thomas Cannon, 4Pbuth, aged 15, employed at
.Messrs. Rennie & Co.'s a - building yard, died at the
Southern Hospital on Sunmorning, in consequence of
being severely burnt by e accidental bursting of a
bottle of turpentine, which ignited and set his clothes in
flames. Inquests in the above cases will be held this day.
CAUTION TO SMOKERS.—EarIy on Sunday morning
last, the residents of the house, No. 11, George-street,
Oldhall-street, were alarmed by the barking of a dog and
the screams of a female in the yard, at the back of the
house. On hurrying down stairs, they found Mary Ed-
wards, aged 59, the wife of a ship-keeper, who lodged in
the house, enveloped in flames. Mrs. Davis and other
persons quenched the flames with great danger and diffi-
culty, after which the poor creature was conveyed to the
Northern Hospital, literally "roasted" all over. She lin-
gered till yesterday morning, when death terminated her
sufferings. She is reported as being inclined to drink,
and frequently carried her short pipe in her pocket, being
an habitual smoker. An inquest will be held on her body
this day.

DEATHS ON BOARD THE BEN NEVIS.—On Sunday
night last, the bodies of two children were brought on
shore from the above vessel, said to have died from diar-
rhoea, and were deposited at the dead-house. The police
authorities were apprised of it, when the inspector com-
municated with Major Greig, and the latter gentleman
consulted with Mr. Gray, the overseer, who made the
necessary inquiries at the ship ; and in consequence of
a difference of opinion between the medical gentlemen, it
was deemed necessary for the case to be laid before the
coroner, which will be done this day. Some passengers
have already been removed from this ship, supposed to be
suffering from diarrhoea or cholera, and after being
attended to at the Emigrants' Home and the 'Workhouse,
have been again placed on board. We hear that one or
two of them have died.
A BAZAAR AT BARTTIOMLEY, FEAR CREWE, IN AID
OF THE RESTORATION OF THE CHURCH, took place on
Wednesday, and was plentifully supplied with liberal
donors, so much so that, although nearly £2OO was re-
ceived the first day, it became necessary to announce, in
the course of the afternoon, that the sales would be con-
tinued on Thursday, and the unsold articles disposed of
by auction on Friday. The stalls, which were tastefully
fitted up, and supplied with articles suited for all classes
of purchasers, were held by Miss Duncombe, the daughter
of the rector, and Mrs. Wainwaring, of Oteley ; Mrs.
Townshend Mainwaring, of Galltfaenen, and Miss Hey-
wood ; Miss Emma Duncombe and Miss Dawkins ;
Miss Townshend and Miss Ashmole ; Miss E. Dawkins
and Mrs. Trubshaw, the wife of the architect under whose
superintendence the restoration of the church and the
rebuilding of the chancel had taken place. The new win-
dows, designed by Mr. Frank Howard, were much ad-
mired, and greatly aided the beautiful effect that has
resulted from the judicious repair of the fine old church.
In connexion with the bazaar, and in aid of the funds,
there was a poultry-show, With fine specimens of all the
popular breeds. Dorkings, Cochin China, Brahma pootras,
Spanish, Plaimigan, bantum, &c. Some ducks and
pigeons, also, were there, and attracted numerous visitors,
and some purchasers ; for many of the birds had been
sent as contributions to the funds for the restoration of
the church, which the rector, the Rev. E. Duncombe, has
had at heart, and for which he and his family have made
such great exertions.
EMBEZZLEMENT BY A BOY.—John Eastwood was
charged at the Police Court, on Thursday, with embezzling
several sums of money which he had received on account
of Mr. Vine, of Lime-street. He had been in Mr. Vine's
employ, but was dismissed in August. Since that time
he bad collected money from several persons on Mr.
Vine's account. The prisoner admitted having received
money as stated, adding that he had intended to hand it
over to the manager of Mr. Vine's business, but had lost
it. Ire was remanded for seven days, as there were several
other similar charges to be brought against him.
DIE LATE RAILWAY ACCIDENT NEAR CROYDON.--'
The Rev. W. M. Willis, one of the victims of the above
catastrophe, who was but recently married, had, we are
glad to find, availed himself, through the East of England
Life Assurance Society, of the advantaes specially offered
by that establishment, by securing after one payment
only) to his wife a handsome annuity, upon a similar plan
to that pursued in connexion with the presidential funds
in India, and which has been for some time in operation
in the East of England Life Office. Surely this fact, and
a knowledge of the mutability of human affairs, will cause
many thinking persons "to go and do likewise."— Globe.
—We refer our readers to our advertising columns, where
will be found further particulars of the East of England
Office, and of the special mode of assurance adopted by it.
The plan seems well adapted for married men with mode-
rate incomes, and the society is under able and responsible
direction.

A LADY'S DILEMMA.—In looking over the "Corres-
pondence" of some of our more fashionable papers, it will
be perceived that most of the " Answers" relate to com-
plaints, on the part of the fairer half of creation, respecting
the ravages which atmospheric influence makes with the
complexion. In lieu of bloom or beauty, they expatiate
on a long train of personal disfigurations in the shape of
pimples, tan, freckles, &c.,—eruptive horrors all ! And
what is a lady to do in this dilemma ? She has her bane
—where is she to look for her antidote ? Why, it is
"before her" in Rowlands' Kalydor—a mild, soothing
extirpator of all impurities of the skin ; prepared from the
choicest exotics of a balsamic nature ; utterly free from
mineral substances ; harmless in its components ; grateful
in its effects. It neutralises atmospheric extremes, and
promotes the healthy action of the microscopic vessels ;
and thus

"Adds to beauty all the charms of health 1"

THE CANADAS.—DAVIDSOX'S PANORAMA.—A charm-
ing series of panoramic views, illustrative of Canadian
scenery, is now open for exhibition in Clayton-hall, Clay-
ton-square. The views are executed from sketches made
on the spot by Mr. Davidson, a gentleman who, having
attained considerable eminence and reputation as an
artist, in Edinburgh, some years since, transferred the
scene of his artistic labours to the western continent, and
there, under favourable circumstances, devoted years of
labour, and no small amount of skill in sketching the
scenery of the St. Lawrence and its tributaries. These
sketches he has re-produced on a very extensive scale ; and,
having returned with them to his native land, he solicits
an inspection, and such an amount of appreciation as a
discerning public may judge it just to bestow upon them.
With a view to submit his labours to the severest of tests,
before leaving Canada, Mr. Davidson exhibited his pano-
ramic views in various towns in that colony, where, of
course, their fidelity, or the contrary, was certain to meet
with a ready and intelligent judgment. His appeal to
this trying ordeal has been most successful, the Canadian
press being loud, pointed, and unanimous in praise of the
skill and truth which he has combined in the represen-
tation of the numerous localities he has treated. Either
in the face or in supplement of those opinions it would be
unbecoming in us to say a word, and we shall not do so.
As works of art the pictures presented by Mr. Davidson
possess high merit ; they are in general well drawn and
tastefully arranged ; the atmospheric effects are artisti-
cally managed, and, looked on merely as a series of
pictures, they are interesting as well as pleasing. Viewed
in reference to their fidelity of representation, which is so
highly vouched for, they cltim a high place among the
means of conveying intelligence respecting the valuable
colony, some of whose most striking scenery they repre-
sent. In explanation of the different views, Mr. Davidson
accompanies them with a lucid and well-arranged verbal
description. His liberality in admitting the children of
the Blue-coat School, and other institutions, to view the
interesting exhibition, entitles him to public gratitude,
and constitutes another claim to general support.
SECIILAMISM On ATHEISM, WHAT IS IT ?—A lecture on
this subject is to be delivered in the Hope-hall, on Friday
evening, by the Rev. Verner M. 'White. The subject will
be treated in the following order :—First—lt is the de-
gradation of the human intellect in the rejection of the
simplest and most conclusively established truth. Second—
It is fearful blasphemy against the Great God of Heaven
and Earth, in pronouncing his Son, the only Saviour, to
be an impostor and an hypocrite—in denying His Word
in refusing to acknowledge His existence—and in ascrib-
ing to Him, as revealed 'in the Scriptures, the vilest pas-
sions of humanity. Third—lt brands as an imposture
and a lie that system that alone can give true happiness
to man, either in this life or in the next. Fourth—lt is an
unworthy appeal to the prejudices of the working classes,
thus stirring up man against man, instead of cementing
the whole human race in one common bond of brother-
hood. Finally—lt is the certain and inevitable forerun-
ner of selfishness of disposition—pride!of heart—cruelty of
nature—immorality in society—and anarchy in govern-
ment,
