FOREIGN IXTELIiltiESCE. I
FOREIGN IXTELIiltiESCE. I INDIA.— The intelligence brought by the over- land mail from India, has considerably calmed the distressing apprehensions that prevailed relative to our gallant countrymen for so many months past surrounded with perils in Afghanistan. Sir Robert Sale held his ground at Jellalabad: and General Pollock, who was concentrating an army at the mouth of the Khyber Pass, and was able to maintain communication with him, felt it unne- cessary to advance prematurely to his relief. The statement that Ghuznee had fallen into the hands of the enemy is happily contradicted; and the Britisli at Candabar and Khelat-i-Ghilzie remained safe. The captives continued to be leniently treated, and it has been discovered that several officers who were supposed to have lost their lives, are prisoners in the hands of the Affghans. So far the news is as satisfactory as under the circum- stances, we could have expected it to be. The contents of the mail, however, have produced the I painful conviction—which appears now, to he pretty general in India—that Shah Soojah had played falsely, and that the British commander at I Cabool had betrayed the most lamentable imbe- cility. We had hesitated, we confess, to entertain an opinion injurious to the reputation of an old officer, and hoped, that as the facts became better known, we should be able to acquit G^neral • Elphinstone; but every circumstance that has come to light, we are bound to say, but too sirong'y tend s to make out a case of vacillation and culpa- ble indecision against him. With regard to Shah Soojah, we think a doubt can no longer remain as to his treachery. lIe still remains at Cabool, recog- nized as King. If he had not been a party to the conspiracy against the English, and if he had not made common cause with the insurgents, it is un- necessary to say that, in place of being on a throne, we should have found him in a dungeon. Many of our Indian contemporaries appear to entertain fears that the government would not display the necessary vigour at this crisis; but they will learn from the events at home during the past month, that, however Englishmen may differ as to the ori- ginal policy which led us to enter Afghanistan, they are unanimous on the points that the honour of the national flag should be vindicated, the murder of our envoy and the massacre of our troops revenged; and that treachery, the most detestable and aggravated that ever appeared, even in the land of treason and duplicity, should be adequately chastised.- /ltlas. DREADFUL MVROEUS kT TIIE BAY or ISLANDS.— Some persons on Saturday last (we understand Mauries), visiting Roberton's Island, situated in Paroa Bar, within the Bay of Islands, discovered that the lioise of Mrs. Roberton was burned to the ground, and the inmates—that lady, one of her children, a European man-servant, named Thomas Bull, and a child, the grandson of the na- tive chief Rivers—were all murdered. The body of Mrs. Roberton was horribly mangled and muti- lated, the man-servant had been decapitated, and the remains of a child were found burnt in the ashes of the house. Mrs. Roberton had two chil- dren, and as the body cf one only has yet been found it is hoped the other may have hid itself, or if carried away by the murderers may escape the fate of its mother and the other victims. Mrs. Roberton was well known and respected at the Bay of Islands, and her frightful fate has created there feelings of the deepest horror, and a univer- sal sadness. Her husband, the late Capt. John Roberton, was drowned about 12 months ago, within view of his family, opposite to his own house, the scene of the above murders. We have been informed that two or three Europeans have been apprehended on suspicion of being the per- petrators of this most shocking and inhuman atro- citv.-Netv Zealand Herald, Nov. 27. The Paris journals of Thursday are chiefly occupied with the votes of the previous evening rspedin the railroad h run south, through the l centreof France. Thursday being the anniversary of Napoleon's death, a funeral service for the repose of his soul was celebrated in all the churches at Paris. Accounts from Madrid are of the 28th ult. The Chamber of Deputies resumed on that day the discussion on the 160,000,000 Loan Bill. The Emperor of Austria has ordered that a monument to Titian shall be erected at Venice, at a cost to the state of 230,000 lforins, in the church in which the statue of Conova is placed.

HER MAJESTY BAL MASQUE.—WINDSOR, Friday. -The celebrated tent of Tippoo Saib, which was taken at the storming of Seringapatam, and after- wards presented to the Sovereign, was sent off this morning from the Castle to Buckingham Palace. It is intended that this splendid tent shall be placed over the portico of the chief entrance to the palace, and on a line with the principal apartments, to be used as a retiring room for the distinguished guests of her MajeIty on the evening of the Queen's grand ball of Thursday next. All the 'hiirs d av next. 'All the magnificent shields, candelabra, and splendid ornamental gold and silver plate, from the Castle, will be displayed at Buckingham Palace upon that occasion. The Earl of Delawarr, accompanied by Mr. Sanders, arrived at the Castle yesterday, for the purpose of inspecting the extensive alterations and improvements now in progress. The tissue of her Majesty's dress is making in Spitalfields and is an exquisite piece of handicraft, in which the weavers have surpassed themselves. The ground is gold, over which lfowers appear partly mattes, partly brilliant. The costume of Prince Albert has issued from the same looms he is to be the representative of the great Edward—a name by which his eldest son will be better known hereafter than by his other appellation of Albert. Yesterday afternoon, immediately on the depar- ture of her Majesty and Prince Albert for Clare- mont, a number of workmen commenced opera- tions in the state apartments of Buckingham Palace, which are to be suitably fitted up for the royal masque on Thursday next. I REMIEIt 1 EEL A SJ-VPED-TAILED PLO, —" SIR Robert Peel (says the Morning Herald) is not a stationary politician lie has, throughout his life, been a stateman of moderate opinions. He has never been an impracticable or obstinate politi- cian he has never made his own convictions the abso- lute standard of right and wrong-of action or in- action-Iiit has beiided k.,s personal opinions here a little and there a little, according to the necessities of the times and the premtre from without. He has not, moreover, deep and enthusiastic convictions. he is a practical statesman, sufficiently easily acted on by external circumstances or the state of parties." —" A day or two ago, (says Tory Oastler. in his Fleet Papers,) I was reading the above descrip- tion of Sir Robert Peel to a plain, honest, Tory Yorkshire merchant, who is chairman of the Con- servative committee in his district. He immedi- ately observed, Nay, surely that cannot be a true description of Sir Robert. If it be, he is just like a soap-tailed pig at one of our country-fairs, there will be no holding him to a single principle.' As Imlac convinced Rasselas that it was im- possible for any man to be a poet, so Mr. Goulbnrn and Sir Ilobert Peel appear to have convinced Parliament that it is impossible for any man to mend their measure into a just Income Tax. Were this proved, it would seem to follow that an Income Tax they ought not to have proposed.— Glob". A COAL OWNER.—M. Aguado, the enterprising A Co.k,, 11 coalowner of the Asturias, died recently, in the midst of his usefulness. The immense sums which he expended in placing the coal-mines of the Asturias in a state to work, and in a state capable of transporting their produce to the sea, preserved I that province in profound tranquility all through the civil war, and in prosperity since. BIRTH ON TIIE STAGE.—While an itinerant com- pany were a few days ago, performing the Tour de Nesle," at Sermaize, in the Marne, at a point when Buridan in his dungeon inquires of Marrjnri't of' Burgundy what she had done with his two chil- dren, the actress who appeared in the character of the princess suddenly seated herself on the bed of the prisoner, and uttered piercing cries, having been taken in labor of her seventh child. Buridan received her in his arms Orsini let down the cur- tain, and dismissed the audience, entreating their indulgence. A midwife, who was one of the audi- ence, hurried round to render her assistance to the distressed lIfargarcf, who was soon safely deli- yered of a fine boy.-Galigllani. The Chancellor of the Exchequer has agreed to take j per cent. on the gross receipts from rail- road passengers in lieu of the present mileage duty." The Lord Mayor said last Friday, that in conse- quence of the publicity which had been humanely given by the press to the robbery of the poor woman named Ann Preston, in a Hammersmith omnibus, he had received several contributions for her relief. Amongst others, one of £5 from a humane individual, who gave the initials O. L." The mortal remains of Lord Henry Russell were interred last Friday in the burial ground of the Naval Asylum, Greenvdeh Hospital. The Duke of Bedford and Lord John Russell, brothers of deceased, were the chief mourners. The other brothers of the deceased were also present. ELECTION PETITIONS.—All parties appear to be at last agreed that a sweeping and complete change is necessary in that system, by which con- troverted elections are now tried and determined. Daily are the tribunals bv which these cases are adjudicated growing moreaiul more into disrepute, and each succeeding decision serves OtlIN- to demonstrate more clearly their utter worthless- ness. "NATIONAL CONVENTION."—The Convention met on Thursday morning at nine o'clock, at the Dr. Johnson tavern, Fleet-street, Mr. Duncan in tin- chair. After some discussion they passed a reso- lution, calling on Mr. Roebuck to retract the lan- guage he used on Tuesday evening in the House of Commons. Messrs. Pxtkeathlv and 1()"r were appointed to wait on Mr. Roebuck. The National Convention is now dissolved, and the members have returned to their constituencies to prepare a memorial to the Queen in behalf of the Charter, and praying her Majesty to cause it to be made the law of the land. — Morning Advertiser. THE D K F B.mirr ANO THE BVTIO.NCTS Bi D- OF.T.—One of the Duke of Northumberland's Bailiffs had long numbered, amongst the proudest ornaments of his house, a portrait of the Right Honourable Sir Robert Peel, Baronet; and many an exulting glance was cast upon the proximate Premier's phiz, with ardent aspirations for his ex- altation to as the restorer of exiled Toryism. Biit when, in the course of events, tbe wishes of the Bailiff were realized, and Peel, after raising the expectations of his worshippers to the hihtst possible pitch, had unfolded his mysterious Bud- get, the Duke's deputy, enraged at the Premier's propositions, turned the face of the portrait il1o- minouslv to the wall! — Gateshead Observer. Oid Mr. Lofevre, the father of the present speak- er of the House of Commons, and the principal founder of Currie and Co.'s house on Cornhill. illustrated the theory of banking one day to a customer in a significant manner. The customer in question was one of those men who find it very convenient to have bad memories. His account was almost always over-drawn, and whenever spoken to upon the subject, his answer was the same—he really had forgotten how he stood. At last Mr. Lefevre. who had watched his opportunity, caught him one day at the counter, and said to him. "Mr. you and I must understand one another something better than we seem to do. I am airaid you don't know what banking is: give me leave to' tell you—It's my business to take care of your money; but I find you are always taking care of mhic. Now, that is not hanking, Mr- it must be the other way: I'm the banker, not you; you understand me now Mr. 1 m sure you do !Banks and Bankers, by D. Ilardcastle, jun. NAVY.—The total number of vessels in the navy of every description at present in commis- sion is 271. Of these, 19 are line-of-battle ships, 34 frigates, G9 steam-vessels, 112 brigs and sloops, 11 flag and receiving-ships, 7 troop ships, 13 royal yatchs, I store-ship, 1 hospital-ship. TIIE TAH IFF.—The Mark Lane Express, the great agricultural agitator, calls upon the farmers to re- sist the Tariff u iiich A\as brought before the House last Tuesday night It is late, but not too late, for the farmers to call meetings for the purpose of recording their sentiments upon this measure, and for petitioning the legislature. There is not an hour to be lost. The Tariff will not be long in passing through both Houses of Parliament, as we do not believe that, there is the slightest chance of successful resistance upon any item, unless it be the duty upon live cattle. A certain number of the representatives of agricultural d'stricts-C)f which Mr. Miles is one of the most active—have determined to oppose the proposed duty but the farmers will neither do their duty to those who advocate their cause, nor to themselves, if they do not come forward with energy to support them by a strong expression of their opinions. THE 'I'RUCK D,rr.It is unfortunate for Mr. Ferrand, that just as he was obtaining a committee of inquiry into the tricks of manufacturers, an obscure labourer, named William Lovegrove, should have been charging his agri- cultural employer, Mr. William Surman, of Great Milton, Oxfordshire, an extensive farmer and malt- ster, with paying him his wages (10s. 6J. a week) in kind, viz., in butter, eggs, bacon, flour, &rc. From the evidence adduced it appeared that the substance supplied to the complainant by his worthy masrer, under the nHme of flour. was" very inferior tailing wheat, with mice-dung, seeds of various kinds, smutballs, and oats," It was of a very bad colour, and not wholesome. Some ol it was not worth 5s. 6d. per bushel." Yet Mr. Surman had the conscience to charge this "devil s dust" to his labourers at the rate of 10s. 6d.! The magistrates convicted him in the penalty of X") and costs. Mr. Ferrand, we suspect, will prove nothing more by his committee than that there are tricks in all trades," (agriculture not ex- cepted,) which no legislative enactment can put down. WINDOW DUTY.— A return of the duty on win- dows, assessed for the tw elve provincial towns in ( England, which contributed the largest amount during the year ending April 5, 1811, gives the following results :—Bath £ 22,408, Birmingham £ 10,952, Brighton C14,7.M, Bristol £ 15,377, Chel- tenham £ 6,972. Clifton X7,818, Leeds Liverpool £ 30,226,' Manchester Norwich We have seldom met a stronger illustrati_ on of the necessity which exists for an international law of copyright, than a notice which we find in the Aw World paper published at New York on the 2d of April. The editor announces that, on the 4th insl. he would print the whole of Sir L. Bulwer's new novel Zanoni, in one number of his journal, of 32 quarto pages, to be sold at 12 cents. The injustice of this must be obvious to everybody for (without referring to Sir L. Bulwer's exclusion from the benefits arising from the sale of his pro- ductions in the United States), as American news- papers are allowed to circulate freely in our colo- nies and in England, the regular editions or Zanoni are met and undersold by this piratic d reprint on British ground. A bookseller at Quebec could, without let or hindrance, order and circulate a (thousand copies of th~ Arw World, containing Zanoni, to the direct injury of the English pub- lisher s interests in Canada; and even a London newsman could, if he thought proper, import ten times as many, and sell for a shilling what Messrs. Saunders and Otlev cannot sell for less than a guinea. We commend this circumstance to the attention of Sergeant Tali'ourd and Lord Mahon.— Ailas. OUTRAGE ON SIR STEPHEN GLYNNE. PROPERTY. — On Monday se'nnight, a number of men and boys, at least two hundred, stating themselves to be from Messrs. Rigby and Hancocks' brick-jurds, assembled in a field adjoining the dwelling house of Mr. Joseph Higgs (agent to Sir Stephen Gl" ynne, Bart.); but on finding on inquiry Mr. II. was not at home, they prowled about the pre- mises for a considerable time; and after some of them had made an ineffectual attempt to force open the doors into the yard, they marched off and proceeded to near the village of Bumghton, where Mr. H. had erected some buildings for the purpose of manufacturing tiles, or draining shells. for the use of the tenants on Sir Stephen's estates, which they quickly demolished, scattering the materials about in all directions. It appears by a written document left on Mr. H's premises, they had taken umbrage at his erecting these buildings, and threatening, if he persisted in going on with che works as he proposed, they would again visit ijm. Chester Chronicle. NATIONAL DISTRESS.—It has been determined to issue forthwith a Queen's letter, inviting contri- bntions in the several places of worship tliroiizli- out the three kingdoms, for the purpose of afford- ing more relief to the population of the manufae- turing districts than local subscriptions can be cxpected to yield. Miss Burdeit Coutts is about to be united to Lord Claude Hamilton. A surgeon at Wakefield had to pay £ 15 last week, for an assault in the shape of a kiss, which he took forcibly from a young lady, for whom he had just extracted a tooth. The report that Bungaree, the Australian pugilist, died owing to his severe punishment, is unfounded. A foot-race took place last Friday at the Swiss Cottage, St. John's Wood, between Jenkinson and John Smith. The distance was a quarter of a mile, run in less than a minute, and Smith beat his antagonist, though Jenkinson had the advan- tac at Mrtiii2T. The Norfolk and Norwich 7??. a violent Tory paper, published in Norwich, expired last week. It had been in existence about 15 months, to the great loss of the proprietor.

On Monday, at Lewes, the printing-offices of M Lee, the proprietor of the Sussex Adeertu'er, were entire'y d.strayed by fire, and the damage is esti- mated at about -tl.60.).

STOPPAGE or IRON-WORKS. — A large number of forges in the neighbourhood of Wolverhampton have ceased work, whereby a great number of hands ar«" thrown suddenly out of employment. Amon the extensive forges closed are those of E. and G. Thorneycroft, Russell, brothers, George Jeiiicoe, aId G. B. Thorneycroft. Several other extensive works are daily expected to cease ope- rations. DEFEAT or Tn: CHURCH-RATE PARTY AT GREEN- WICH.—On Friday evening at a vestry meeting, the vicar, the Rev. W. A. Soames, in the chair, Mr. Ivadwell proposed a rate of twopence, The question, on being put, was declared by the clia'r- man to be lost. The following were the numbers i i%,cre th? iiurnl),?,ri? -For the rate G4, against it, 111; majority again si the rate 17. Loud cheers followed the announce- ment. A poll was demanded by Colonel Forman, 1 and fixed for Thursday and Friday, when, it is to be hoped, the inhabitants will do their duty. At a recent meeting of the Andover Union Guardians, it was announced that the collector of the poor's-rates for the parish of Andover had ah- sconded, being in arrears upwards of £ 700. A committee had appointed, who. after a search ing investigation of the various acconnrs, reported the above large sum to be due. His sccuriaes, three gentlemen of the town, are liable to the of' amount of £.iOO. NOVEI. WAGER.—A person went last week into a public house near Dudley, and after some con- versation offered to bet a wager of ten -,hiil;n, that he would eat the coat off his back if they would allow him to cut the buttons off. The wager was laid, and the coat was cut to pieces and put in fl frying-pan, and after well frying it in liquor, he eat every bit of his coat and won the vi-ager.- Cambridge Advertiser. IRISH STIPENDIARY MAC.ISTP.\TES. — hen the Tories came into office, Lord Liiiot issued an official letter, announcing that the Government had deter- mined to dispense with the services of several of the stipendiary magistrates, on account of the tranquil state of the country. A number of those magistrates were dismissed. The Tories are not many 'months in office, and they are now under the necessity of appointing new magistrates of the same class. The simple fact furnishes a strlk- ing: commentary upon the different effects o Whig and Tory government in Ireland. THE DI DLEY RIOTS.—BIRMINGHAM, Friday.— The nailors assemhled at West Bromwich yesterday to the number of eleven hundred or upwards and it appeared their general determination to resist the 'erms of the masters, and refuse any compromise or reduction. It has transpired that the only j funds which thev have yet been able to obtain, amount to £ 13, "a sum which would scarcely fur- nish a single potato to each individual of the "turn-out." The E,r1 of Dartmouth has selected about 60 men, distinguished for their industry, good character, and moderation, and has given them work upon his lands, in consequence of the danger which would attend the prosecution of their ordinary work under present circumstances. FOREIGN CATTLE.-At a meeting of the IVIaid- stone Fanners* Club to consider that the new tariff, a Mr. Elvy gave an interesting piece of in- formation; "Sir Edward Knatchbull said that 7,000 head of cattle was the utmost that could be imported from the Continent under the new tariff. His oh n opinion was, that the number imported would be much more than i,OOO: for he had seen in parts of France, Flanders, Holland, and Ger- i many (and he defied Sir Robert Peel to contra- dict him), some of the finest grass land in the world, as well as some of the finest breeds of cat- tle and he was certaiu as soon as the foreigner knew that the British ma.'kets were open to him he would send plenty of stod; for he had the land, the breed of cattle, the enterprise and the spirit to do it. He would venture to say, that in four or five years, if they were admitted, foreign cattle would be cheap enough in England. For several years past he had been supporting Sir Robert Peel and the present government of this country but he hoped God would forgive him. The farmers had been as greatly deceived as any men who had ever been deceived." A deputation was appointed! to wait upon the Board of Trade to state griev- ances. NEW MAOISTR\TES.— The Gateshead Observer after showing that the cool impudence of the Chancellor's statement of the manufacture of Whig magistrates bv Lord Normanbv, was quite as conspicuous as its want of truth says the inde- cent reference to the license-system—the indirect invitation to prostitution (we mean of the magis- terial authority to political purposes) which Lord Lyndhurst's disgusting observations con- tained. arc almost too gross for comment. Well might the Earl of Radnor "put in a word for the people of England." in the shape of protest again-M such an infamous doctrine as had been promul- gated bv the Speaker of the House of Lords. Degradation enough, certainly, it was to the proudest assembly in the empire, to see its pre- siding officer detected in palpable untruth on his seat of state but the broad assertion in their presence, that the best qualifications for the judge- ment-seat were to be sought for in poll-books and committee-rooms, was a piece of effrontery at which the Barons of Runnymede would have blushed, and an insult to public liberty which then- swords would have avenged." Mr Hutt, the member for the borough of Gateshead, had ob- tained a Return of the names of all the borougn Magistrates, of both Liberal and Tory creation which Return had been printed, and, at the very moment Lord Lyndhurst was making his delibe- rate declaration from the woolsack, was lying on t he tables of both Houses of Parliament." T n r. FOMENT or WAGES COMMITTEE was appointed last Tuesday. MATRIMONIAL AGENCIES!—A Mr. Rainfon. who stated that he resided in Mortimer-street, and was principal conductor of a matrimonial institution, came to the justice room in the course of the week, in consequence of some observations which were made by Sir R. Peter Laurie relative to an estab- lishment for bringing couples together in thu matrimonial way. He brought with him a book containing the items of the various charms and recommendations which the subscribers possessed by their own accounts, and to which he desired to draw the attention of the magistrate in proof of the bOJlajide character of the mart with winch he had, he said, the honour of being connected. Sir Peter Laiirie-Pr:iv what are you, Mr. Rainton ? Mr. ltiiiiton-I am of no trade, business or pro- fession. Sir Peter Lau.ie— Have you any cards? Mr. Rainton—None. Sir Peter Laurie — And what brings you here ? Mr. Rainton—I cam here on account of the attacks which you hav br-en pleased very unceremoniously to make upon a highly honourable and bona fide matrimonial ju- stitution, of which I am the held. Sir Peter L-iiii-ie-Aiid how many marriages may you hav;; caused to be perpetrated in three years'? Nir. Rain- ton- Why, three. (Laughter.) Sir Peter Laurie What! only three in three years ? Then I suppose you get a per centage upon the cash which the Sadies bring? Mr. Rainton — Certainly I do. (Great laughter.) Oh, you may ridicule it, but the concern is in every respect honourabl e and creditable. Why should any man calumniate a business that is conducted upon terms the most .strictly honourable ? (Laughter.) Sir Peter LatJ- rie-And do you get women who are silly enough to expose themselves to this sort of btimbuz Mr. Rainton —I repeat that there is no humbug m it. Sir P. Laurie—Well, do r.ot relish this couple in-iking. I never knew any person joined toge- ther in consequence of a matrimonial advertise- ment, except ap )or fellow in Fieet-street, who cut his own throat soon after the knot was tied. and Corder, the murderer, for whom a knot was tied in another way.

P, r D. i i a, a i- i n ing fire broke cut abo utnineon Wednesday morn- ing. near the Bell aud Crown beer-shop, High- street, B.-aminster. which destroyed 11 dwellings. With great exertion, and a plentiful supply of water, this tire was got under, although the oppo- site side of the street was in gretit jeopardy, 'lhe engines had not been stopped playing before ano- ther alarm was made that the fire had made its appearance at the upper part of the street, occa- sioned, w e should suppose, by some sparks from the first, as the wind was blowing in that direction. This co-npletei the work of destruction, sixteen dwellings were here destroyed, and others damag- ed in a very short s pace of time. We believ e a.l the houses wore insured with the exception of one. The Sun, C-'niiry. Royal Exchange, West of Eng- land, and Phoenix, will all have claims on them. But the greatest loss will be to the poor, who prin- cipally occupied the houses, many of whom we should think have lost their little all, some burnt, and other parts destroyed by removals. Nearly thirty families have been by tlrs calanvtous oc- currence dep -.ved of a home. The origin of the tire la" not b >eu ascertained. Twelve dwellings were destroyed by fire in this town last week.

Mr. Childs had been sum- moned before the Justices for the non-payment of three shillings and four pence, in 1839. when he took objections to the validity of the rate, and shortly after a suit was commenced against him, which terminated only on the 3d instant. On that day, the Gmsistorial Court of Norwich gave Judgment, when Mr. Evans, the Judge, decided that the Defendant w as perfectly justified in op- posing the proceedings that the plaintiffs had 111 t v in li is thrown much obstruction and difficulty in his way. that the Defendant had come out of the case w ith clean hands, and he must, therefore, declare the rate void, with costs to the Defendant. This suit has been proceeding now for tvvcn<y-i-'cven months and has caused the defend int. and others en- gaged in the suit. to travel more than a thousand miles. What, then, becomes of Sir Herbert Jenner'a remark, that these Courts are not expensive, and how could a poor man resist such oppression ? I herp is one cause, however, for conzratlllation- the churchwardens. Iro n the day they assailed Mr.ChiId?.now nearly 8 years, have never made a move that has not damaged themselves.— iilo,t? that Iiiis i;  t dam .t,:P d AN ELEPHANT'S REVENGE.—A few days since John Glascott, groom to a gentleman named Turner, was conveyed to the London Hospiial with a severe fracture in the leg near the ankle. The injury was caused by an elephant, and is an additional proof that that animal is mindful (the expression is almost justifiable) of wrongs, and sel- dom fails to resent them. On the morning of the day on which Glascott was taken to the hospital he had been witnessing the performances of an ele- phant then exhibited in a booth in the Commer- cial-road East, and it is stated that he took it into his head to amuse himself by teasing the animal No.lnng more happened then, but in the afternoon of the same day Glascott returned to the booth with his children, and whilst they ii-cre intent oii the feats of the animal, it suddenly wound its trunk round the man' s leg, and did not uncoil it until the limb was fractured. The surgical treat- ment Glascott received in the hospital at first, succeeded, bu a day or two back erysipelas at- tacked the system, and yesterday terminated fatally. COT I.I'MPTON.—A fire broke out in this town on the 4th mst., which threatened great destruction but by the timely arrival of the etkgine belonging, to the Farmers' Fire and Life Insurance Office," its progress was arrested. The premises were insured in the "West of England" and in the Imperial Offices. The damage is estimated at u pwards of £ 1,200. PCSEYISM,—The Bishop of Worcester has issued a letter to the Rural Dean of Birmingham, in which he forbids the public use of the term "Puseyite, "as applicable to those entertaining tractarian opinions. ELOPEMENT.— The folks of Inverness have been thrown into some excitement by the elopement of a young lady belonging to Invergordon with a son of Mars. The lady was to have been married soon to another gentleman of the same profession, a widower: the marriage articles were even pro- vided, hut the faithless one could not resist the charms of the unwedded youth, and so took her route with him to Aberdeen. Ellen Walsh. aged 90 years, is now confined in W icklow gaol at the suit of Archdeacon Stopford, for tithes the proceeding w:vs by an Exchequer bill. A pifce of gold, weighing five ounces and a half, the heaviest piece of unwrought gold yet found in Ireland, was picked up in the Wicklow mines recently. j The Cork Poor-law Unirm is understood to be I in a condition of bankruptcy, as its hankers have refused to ad vance the guardians any more money on account. They owe the government £ 16,00" and upwards of £ 11,000 besides. Loan NORBCUY'S MURDER.—A rumour was in circulation yesterday, to the effect that three men had been arrested, charged with the murder of Lord Xorburv, upon information contained in a letter from New York It was also stated that Lord Cbarleville bad taken an active part in the arrests. We have seen nothing to warrant a belief in the story.—Dublin Evening Post of Tivursday.
