Persons who are afflicted with a desire to perpetuate their names by carving them in dropsical letters of an inch in depth on public buildings, benches, Sz.c., will learn with some interest that a certain John Bowden. who was caught in the act of cutting his initials on the stonework of the Liverpool Free Library, has been brought before the magistrates and fined Ns. and costs.  Earl Russell will, on Monday next, move that an humble address be presented to her Majesty praying her to give special directions that every precaution be taken from the prorogation until the next meeting of Parliament to secure the safety of merchant seaman. who may be employed in merchant ships which may obtain clearance during that period, from dangers arising from the want of repair, or decay of the ships in which they may be engaged as crews. An explosion of an alarming character occurred on Tuesday in one of the Bessemer furnaces. at the Cyclops Works, Sheffield. A melting was nearly completed, and men were preparing to pour the metal into the moulds, when suddenly a spindle broke, and the huge vessel containing nearly a ton of molten metal heaved over. The men had barely time to rush out of the furnace when the metal fell into the pit in which there was water. and a terrible explosion was the result. The report was beard at a great distance, and hundreds flocked to the works. No one was injured, but the roof of the furnace was partially blown away. The Registrar-General reports during the week ending last Saturday; 5,413 births and 3,555 deaths in twenty-one large cities and towns of the United Kingaom. The average rate of mortality in these towns was 24 per 1.000. The rate in London was 22 ; Edinburgh, 21 ; Glasgow, 31; Dublin, 26; Wolverhampton. 21; Sunderland, 22; Sheffield, 22; Birmingham, 22; Bristol, 23; Liverpool. 23 ; Bradford, 25: Leeds, 29; Newcastle-uponTyne. 29: Leicester, 30: Manchester, 31; and Nottingham, 34. In the last-named town scarlet fever and diarrhcea were very fatal, and the formrr disease showed increase in Bristol and London.  An athlete. possessed of more endurance than common sense, is endeavouring. at Brighton, Massaehusets, to surpass Captain Barclay's feat of walking 1,000 miles in a thou Sand consecutive hours by walking 1,100 miles under the same conditions. He does not seem likely to succeed, however, for the reports say that at the 827th mile he showed unmistakable symptoms of fatigue: His body had, too. become much emaciated, and, occasionally, he falls senseless on the course. It is, too, most difficult to awaken him when the time has arrived to begin a fresh mile, ammonia has to be applied, he is pricked with needles. and pistols are fired close to his ear, then, when aroused to some extent from his lethargy, he is placed on his feet by his " friends," and staggers on for another mile. The opinion of the correspondent of a New York paper is that the attempt will end in the death of the pedestrian.
