COLOURS.—When the Sarah Sands was almost enveloped in a blaze of fire at sea on the 19th Nov. it was suddenly recollected that the colours of the 54th were in the aft part of the saloon, which had been quite forgotten in tho anxiety to get out the powder. It was then that one of the quartermasters of the ship (Richmond), in the most gallant manner, volunteered to try and save the colours. Ile went down, and succeeded in bringing up the Queen's and after giving it up, fell down fainting. As soon as he recovered he again insisted, with one of the pr;vates (Wits), in trying to get the regimental colours ; again he succeeded, and again fainted. The doctor was afraid, for some time, he would not recover, but we are glad to say lie is now all right again.  Tun EX-LORD Mason.—A meeting or the friends and admirers of the lato Lord Mayor of London, T. Q. Finn's, alderman, was held in the City on Saturday, Mr W. S. Lindsay, M.P., in the chair, for the purpose of considering the propriety of presenting a suitable testimonial to that gentleman for his able and &rot, d discharge of the 2ublic duties of his office during his year of mayoralty, and more particularly for the support given by himself and his lady mayoress to the charities of the metropolis, and for his zeal in bringing to light the commercial frauds in the City, and in devising and in establishing the Indian;Relief Fund. A committee of leading gentlemen was appointed to carry out the general design of the meeting. Above £2OO as been already subscribed for the 'Ennis Te,aimonal,' the form which the testimonial will assume being left for future , consideration.  After the earthquake in Naples and its neighbourhood, persons buried under the ruins were heard groaning several days after the disaster; there was no prompt assistance for their rescue, for the inhabitants had either fled in fear, or were on enfeebled by hunger and despair, that they could make but inatle quate effort,. Some, too, were dug out alive after six, seven, and eight days of burial. Others were found, it is sail, to have eaten portiens of their own arms. The sufferings, too, of those who were saved exceeded, perhaps, those of persons who were killed. Between Pertosa and Polls the road was 200 feet distant from its former position; thn mountain above ' it had been cleft in two, revealing to a great depth the limestone caverns in the bowels of the earth. The ground was seamed with fissures; official documents return 30,000 as dead, and 250,000 persons as living in the open air. MennEn.—On Thursday the body of a young man, five feet live inches in height, and about twenty-six years of age, was found in the field of Mr William Shackleton, farmer, on the boundary of Wadsworth Moor, so frightfully mutilated as to leave not the least doubt that a brutal murder had been perpetrated.On the left side alone the deceased had received upwards of twenty stabs, many of which had left large gaping wounds, which had evidently been inflicted by some most deadly weapon. Ile had also been severely cut upon the breast and neck by some sharp instrument. But the most severe injuries appear to have been on the head. Over the right eye were two deep cuts, each about an inch long ; on the crown were five or six extensive fractures ; and tlo back of the head was cut. A stone, weighing about thirteen pounds, and a broken blade of a carving knife, very sharp at the end, and tapered like a dagger, were found near the body of the murdered man. The knife was stained with blood, and upon the stone were both blood and hair.
