Mode Of Pensioning Literary and Scientific
People and Their II elatives in England.
In the English Civil Pension List, for the
year ending June 20, 1860, we find six -un-
married sisters of the late Dr. DiOnysius
Lardner, who, sin consideration of their
late brothers labors in the cause of science.
and their scanty means" are almoners on
the public purse to the sum total of fl25, Sin
equal proportions" making among the six
ladies trife more than f20, or about 800
each per annum. Their "late brothers la
bors in the cause of seienoev will just keep
them from starving, but nothing more. Ed
ward Atherstone, the poet, who wrote the
Fall of NiReOeh, and some other ambitious
works, Gin consideration of his great services
in literature, and Of his advanced age" is re-
warded with a yearly subsidy of f25. TO
this country, "in consideration of thirty
years toll in the field of literature, by which
she has contributed both to cultivate the pub
lie taste and to support number of helpless
relations the sum of Sl00 annually is
awarded. Rev. Henry Logan, Sin con-
sideration of his contributions to math-
ematical and scientific literature, and
his present state of destitution, in con-
sequence of the loss of his eyesight,' Gl00.
Mrs. Charlotte Rowecroft, widow of Charles
Rowecroft, the author, and some time British
| Consul in this country, who died on board
the steamer on his return voyage from New
York to England, the sum of ESQ, sin con-
sideration of the services of her late hus-
band" is granted. DR.. Robert Blakey, the
historian of philosophy, in consideration of
his straitened circumstances, gets fl00, and
Mrs. Ellen Beecroft in consideration of the
services of her late husband, Captain Bee
| croft, for the advancement of British inter-
ests and of science, during twenty-five years
| on the coast of Africa, where he ulti-
mately fell victim to the climate, ESQ.,"
| These respective sums seem altogether in
adequate. If the parties named are worthy
of such recognition by the Government, the
pensions awarded them should have been
large enough to keep them little more re-
moved from want than these alms--for such
they really are-can possibly do: Consider
ing the large sums given as retiring annui-
ties to officers and others, who can boast
aristocratic connections, or to their widows
and children, "aborers in the cause ofscience
and literature" would not seem to be o
much consideration. Even the widow o
Thomas Hood only received 9lO0 yea
from the Royal Fund, while some gouty OLE
Admiral-we forget his name-on the SAM
day was pensioned at $4,000.

A SCENE Nor IN THE BILL.-The Oetoroon
was played in San Francisco not long since,
and as usual had a successful run, One
evening, however, the performance was
varied in the most unexpected manner by
member of the State Senate of Califor-
mia.
Senator Egerton being on bit of 'tare,
dropped in at the theater and became highly
interested in the play--7hs Octoro0H. In
the scene where the auctioneer sells Zoe,
and knocks her down to "McOlosky'' at
$4,000, and the bystanders are indignant,
he says: 81 can't help il, hel 'McClosky') has
the law on his side and must have her"
Egerton, who sat in the front seat of the
dress-circle, rose up and sung out "D---n the
law, $4,000 for her. The Zoe" in this
case being exceedingly pretty, the sym
pathies of the audience were with the last
bidder, and they shouted THE bid is reg
ular, let him have her" 1t took ten min
utes to quiet the house. ga arrrYggF

Accidental Discovery of Australian Gold
- All American readers are familiar with
theaccidental discovery ofgold in California,
in the widening of Suffers mill-race. The
account of a similar discovery in Australia is
interesting:
In January, l849, shepherd went to Mr..
Charles Brentani's shop in Melbourne, and
offered for sale a piece ofquartz, thickly in
terspersed with gold. A great many ques-
tions were naturally asked, and, in reply, he
described himself as shepherd, upon sta
ton in the Pyrenees, in which locality he
had picked up the gold; he added that he
knew where there was plenty more to be
procured. Mr.. Brentani obtained the as
sistance of two working jewelers., Duchene
and Forester, and had proper assay made.
The mass was found to be pure gold, and the
shepherd, who gave his name as Chapman,
was sent for and fed and clothed by Mr..
Brentani, who listened with amazement to
the description which was given by his
lodger of the auriferous regions of the
| Pyrenees. l-.
Excited by dreams of treasure, he planned
an expedition that, in company with the
| lucky shepherd should proceed to the spot.
| The party left Melbourne with the utmost
secrecy, taking with them a dray, which
they proposed to fill with gold. M. Duehene
| returned TO melbourne some bll1o dlJeFj IL
appeared that his more knowing companions
had, according to his statement given him
the slip, not desiring that he should share in
their good fortune; but this account did no I
appear satisfactory to Mrs. Brentani, who
| seemed to have pretty good guess of the
errand her husband had gone upon; and in
her alarm for his safety, she charged Du-
chene with having taken away his life; and
to save himself he made full disclosure o.
all the particulars. So far from allaying the
terror Of Mrs Brentani, these facts only in.
creased it, and Duchene, who was French
man, would most likely have been incarcer
ated upon the charge of murder, had no
Brentani and the party opportunely re
turned.
The public curiosity was naturally excited
by the strange disclosures which had beer
made, but all inquiries for while .wert
avoided. The party, however, had picked
up two large nuggets weighing upward 0
twenty ounces each. But the most extraor
binary part of the affair was, that Chapman
disappeared. How, or under what circum
stances, it is impossible to say, as the who'll
story is involved in mystery. That the gol'
! was found in the place indicated by hin
appears certain, and it is to this strang
! individual, therefore, that we are indebted
for it-but he never again reappeared OF
the public stage. -r

We, the undersigned, Trustees Of Wesley Chapel,
hereby certify that Mr., BsSawyer has placed In

merit as to economy Of fuel, the amount Of heat
generated in short time, and especially in the
quality If the atmosphere secured by the rapid ven

Outrases and Cruelties 20 seamen-A
French I,ad,s Story. Ht-

The attention of the United States Dis
trict Attorney at New York has recently
been called to atrocities said TO have been
committed on board one of our largest
packet-ships trading between this port and
Liverpool A French boy, Joseph Delatre,
makes an affidavit, which is on file, in which
are described scenes that puts the Pirates
Ot0n Book to shame. The New York World
says; ,,.,,vo,
on the 25th of March last, and after par
taking of a cup of coffee and piece of toast,
he was invited to go on board this ship.
Here he was left by the boarding-master.
subsequently his chest was sent on board,
accompanied by a bottle of brandy and one
POUND of tobacco. The second mate broke
open his chest, and took from it all he had
except an old flannel shirt, pair of over
all5, and a jumper. The ship was towed
down to the Belize, where she remained
more than two weeks, during which time he
witnessed scenes calculated to make even a
sailor shudder. The language of the officers
was exceedingly profane; hogging, beating,
and blows Of all kinds were everyday oc-
currences, and the food would have dis
gusted hungry dog"
''The ships company was composed of
twenty-five men, representing many nation
