George Prior, .Ej Curate of Mevagh, Letter Kenny, Carrigart, Ire- land, 10th January, 1846. TO PROFESSOR HOLLOWAY. Sin,—I send you a crude list of some eleven cases, all cured by the use of your Ilills. I cannot exactly give )-on a professional name to the various complaints, but this I know, some of them baffled the skill of Derry and this county. In a previous letter this gentleman states as follows :—Within a short distance of my house resides a small farmer, who for more than twenty years had be;>n in a bad state of health. Mrs, Prior gave him a box of the Pills, which did him so much good that I heard him say, for twenty years past, he never ate his food or enjoyed it so much asince taking your Pills. (Signed) GEORGE PRIOR. *«* The above reverend and pious gentleman purchased some pounds worth of the Pills for the benefit of his poor parishioners. Cure of a Confirmed Asthma, accompanied with great D,bil,ty act ofa letter from John Thompson, lisq., proprietor of the Armagh Guardian, Armagh 17th April, 1846. TO PROFESSOR HOI.LOWAY. SIR,—There is at present living in this city a Serjeant, who had been for manv veal's in the army at Cabul, in the East indies, from whence he returned in September last On his way here, from the change of weather of a tropical to a moist climate, he caught a very violent cold, which produced a confirmed case of Asthma. In December last he commenced takina; your Pills, and by the use of two I Is. boxes, with two 4s. 6d. pots of your Ointment well rubbed into his breast, he is, I am happy to say, not only quite cured of the asthma, but is also become so strong and vigorous, that he informed me yesterday he could now run round the Mail with any person in the city, and that he never got any medicine equal to your Pills and Ointment. (Signed) J. THOMPSON. The Earl of Aldborough Cured of a Liver and Stomach C.mplamt.. Extract of a letter from his Lordship, dated Villa Messina, Leghorn, 21st February, 1845. TOPB-OFESSOR HOLLOWAY. SI It,—\ arious ci.rcumstances prevented the possibility of mv thanking you before this time for your politeness in sending me your ruts as you did I now take this oppor- tunitv of sending you an order for the amount, and, at the same time, to add that your Pills have effected a cure of a disorder in my Liver and Stomach, which n'l the most eminent of the faculty at home, and all over the Continent, had not been able to etl'ect nay, not even the waters of Carlbad and Marienbad. I wish to have another box and a pot ot the ointment, in case anv of my family should ever require either.—Your most obliged and obedient servant o (Signed; ALDBOROUGH.

A CATHOLIC CLERGYMAN AND HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.— A poor person who had been in a very declining state of health for a considerable time, and had tried all the doctors in his neighbourhood, without deriving the least benefit, has been restored to perfect health in a few weeks by Holloway's celebrated Pills, which were pre- sented to the then apparently dying man by a distin- guished member of the Catholic Church. John Thomp- son Esq the proprietor of the Armagh Guardian, can attest to the truth of this, as well as other remarkable cures, that have been effected in that part of Ireland, by the use of this invaluable medicine.

PART THE FIRST treats of the anatomy and physio- logy of the re-productive organs, and is illustrated by Six Coloured Engravings. PART THE SECOND treats of the consequences re- sulting from excessive indulgence, and their lamentable effects on the system, producing mental and bodily weakness, nervous excitement, and generative incapacity. It is particularly addressed to those who arc prevented in consequence from entering into the marriage state, and points out the sure means of perfect and secret restoration to manhood.

This section is illustrated by Seventeen Coloured Engravings. PART THE FounTH treats of Perry's Preventative Lotion, by the use of which the dangers of infection are obviated. Its action is simple but sure it combines with tjle virus chemically, and destroys its power on the system. PART THE FIFTH is devoted to the consideration of marriage, and its duties. The reason of physical dis- qualifications, and the causes of unproductive unions, are also considered, and the whole subject critically and philosophically inquired into. The CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM is ex- pressly employed to renovate the impaired powers of life, when exhausted by the influence exerted by solitary indulgence on the system.

BORTHWICK CHALLENGES the whole Medical Profession to produce Testimonials equal to the following: — We, the undersigned, having ex- perienced the beneficial effects of Borthwick's Gout Tincture, most of us having used it for six and seven years, can recommend it to those who are afflicted with Gout, as a safe and speedy cure. This invaluable Medi- cine instantly relieves the pain, and removes the most severe attack in two or three days, carrying along with it the excellent quality of strengthening the constitution and, what is most extraordinary, continuing to have the same effect upon us as when we first used it-a circum- stance that is perhaps unparalleled, and which merits the high encomium bestowed upon it by Lord Francis Egerton, M.P., who has said (in a letter to James Loch, Esq., M.P.) that it is the greatest discovery in the annals of mcdicine, mercury an bark not excepted. And as we are anxious to extend the benefit of this medicine to the poor, afflicted with this disease, knowing, as we do, the great increase of it amongst the more humble classes, we feel deeply impressed with the necessity of the hu- mane and wealthy joining us in the laudable under- taking whereby a fund might be raised to establish, upon a permanent footing, an Institution, so as our views may be carried into effect. First Resolution, proposed and unanimously agreed to-" That the sum of El Is. be subscribed, which will entitle each Subscriber to Seven Tickets, to be distri- buted to the necessitous poor, afflicted with Gout, Rheu- matism, and Sciatica. And that these tickets may be available immediately, it is proposed that Mr. Borthwick shall furnish the medicine to those afflicted, who are in possession of them, whereby many advantages in the mean time will be gained."

Unquestionably this is a most extraordinary and skilful work, and ought to be extensively circulated; for it is quite evident that there are peculiar habits acquired at public schools and private seminaries, which are totally unknown and concealed from the conductors of those establishments, and which cannot be too strongly reprobated and condemned. The Engravings that ac- company the work are clear and explanatory; and being written by a duly qualified medical practitioner, will doubtless be the means of saving many a youth, as well as those of maturer age, from the various evil conse- quences resulting from early indiscretions.Magnet. This work has the advantage over other treatiseson the same subject, in being the production of a regularly educated and duly qualified member of the medical pro- fession, who has had very great experience in the treat- ment of a class of infirmities resulting from secret habits and excesses, which, for their treatment, the utmost secrecy, confidence, and skill, is so essentially requisite." -London Journal.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. < FRANCE.—The Paris papers of Wednesday bring us accounts of the resignation of Marshal Soult, the pre- sident of the council of ministers, and of the appoint- ment of M. Gaizot in his stead. The reason of the marshal's retirement is simply a desire for that repose which, after sixty-four years' service in the cause of his country, the old man feels to be necessary. The event has been long expected, having been delayed only by the difficulties in which the cabinet has been recently involved, and will cause no change either in the persons or policy of the ministry, M. Guizot having been all along its real head. The latter now assumes his proper position. It is generally believed that Marshal Soult will accept the place of governor of the Invalides, which has been offered to him. The post is a mere sinecure, and gives a salary of 40,000f., besides a handsome re- sidence, rations, and other advantages. The King has issued a royal ordonnance, nominating Lieut.-General Reille, son-in-law of Massena, and Lieutenant-General Dode de la Brunerie, of the engineers, to be Marshals of France in the room of Marshals Grouchy and Oudi- not, deceased. The Union Monarchique states that ministers resolved, at a cabinet council held on Thurs- day, to form a camp of 40,000 men at the foot of the Pyrenees. The King, it is stated, wished the army to consist of 80,Oilmen. The impression still obtained in Paris that General Espartero would return to Madrid at an early day.—Count Bresson, so well known in con- nexion with the Montpensier intrigues -at Madrid, has been appointed, French ambassador at the court of Naples. The visit of Lord Minto to Italy is a subject of no small jealousy to the French government, who appear to imagine that his lordship's mission will have a serious effect on French influence in that Peninsula. M. Guizot is most anxious that the Italian sovereigns should appear to yield to the demands of their subjects for reform, and Count Bresson is instructed to counsel toleration and tolerance, as the best mode of resisting the storm. It is said that Lord Minto is, in the first instance, to visit the King of Sardinia, and Count Bres- son follows the same route, going in the first place to I Turin, thence to Florence, then to Rome, and ultimately to his destination at Naples. The- Constitutionnel announces that Mademoiselle De Luzy, against whom no proofs of participation in the murder of the Duchess de Praslin ex isted, would be shortly restored to liberty. -Mohammed Ali Khan, ambassador of the Shah of Persia, arrived at Paris on the 17th. He is accom- panied by his son, his son-in-law, and a numerous re- tinue. This embassy has been five months and a half on its journey. There are now but two survivors of the twenty-six marshals of the empire created by Napo- leon Soult, Duke of Dalmatia, and Marmont, Duke of Ragusa. THE GOVERNOR OF ALGIERS.—Some weeks ago, when the French Government were preparing to an- nounce the appointment of the Duke d'Aumale to the govenorship of Algeria, the Revue des Deux Mondes was instructed to put forth an article on the subject, contrived after the manner which has so often succeeded in cajoling the French people. England was depicted as thrown into an agony of rage, vexation, and alarm, by an act so significant of France's determination to keep fast hold of her precious conquest. To pretend to spite England has always been the best trump card in the hands of the system." It won for it permission to erect round Paris the best of fortifications, that were so facetiously represented as for ever securing the inde- pendence of that capital; and how could it fail to win approval for that great stroke of policy by which Louis Philippe has manifested the decisive triumph of the monarchical over the constitutional principle in France ? The act has accordingly been accomplished but not a word of remonstrance has it elicited on the part of per- fidious Albion. To us it has been a matter of perfect indifference not so however to the French. With the solitary official exception of the Debats, the whole press of Paris is unanimous and loud in its condemnation of this step. It is regarded as a wrong and an insult to the army, inasmuch as it abrogates its most cherished tradition that merit makes the man," and exhibits the novel and dangerous spectacle of a scion of royalty, but six years removed from college, receiving, by right of blood, the highest reward which the country has to offer for military services. It is objected to by politi- cians, first as highly inexpedient, considering the diffi- culties of the office and the inexperience of the young man who is to fill it; and secondly, as grossly uncon- stitutional. Such an appointment, they say, ought not to be filled by any member of the Royal Family, for they partake, to a certain extent, of the irresponsibility of the Sovereign, and cannot, therefore, be made amen- able to the control of the home government and of public opinion like ordinary governors. Moreover, they contend,—these uncourtly politicians,—that it is unwise to extend the influence and power of a family which has already too many privileges. Louis Philippe thinks differently, and so he has secured to his son a royal appanage, now designated by the modest name of a governorship, but by and by to be dignified by that of a I vice-royalty. "The system" has accomplished one of its most cherished schemes, and the boldest it has ever carried out. In all its other devices for the aggrandise- ment of the house of Orleans it could make some show of forwarding the interests or gratifying the passions of France. This last is a naked, undisguised stroke of dynastic rapacity. -Atlas. SPANISH AFFAIRS.—Spain has got a Ministry, but that is all. It might almost as well be without one, for that is all. It miL, any evidence which the Cabinet has yet given of its utility. It has not even the energy to turn General Narvaez out of Madrid, or to deprive him of his post of ambassador to Paris. He remains in Madrid openly plotting against the Government and the Queen. His partisans make no secret of this the regiments are actually named that are ready to join him in an insur- rection. A conspiracy has been discovered, which had f.)r its object to carry off the Queen, and it is curiously significant of the state of parties in Spain, that the sub- ject of the conspiracy itself attracts less attention than the share which Mr. Bulwer has been invidiously declared to have bad in detecting it. The Gazette publishes the following We are authorised to declare that it is absolutely false that the Minister of England in Madrid has accused any political party of conspiring against the Queen our Sovereign, or against her Government." PORTUGAL. We have Lisbon news to the 12th inst. The Moderate third party" was making some progress, and a few of Costa Cabral's adherents were deserting him. Ministers had published a very important decree, announcing their intention to reduce the number of public employ is, and choose them for the future for their fitness, and not upon party grounds. Much ex- citement existed with reference to the question of retaining or dissolving the Carlist Volunteer Battalions. The bulk of the I I volunteers" themselves are tired of the sen ice. The royalist electoral commission had been definitively constituted, and the party would proceed to the urn independently. There was still much perturbation at Oporto. The Queen and Court had returned to the Necessidades from Cintra and Mafra. ITALY.—Letters from Messina of the 6th have been received. Notwithstanding the failure of the attempt on the fortress made by the insurgents, the offensive demonstrations of the latter were not discontinued. In the absence of any apparent result of these movements, their supposed purpose is to occupy the attention of the royal troops, so as to leave the proceedings of the insur- gents elsewhere more free. It was expected that the detachments quartered in the viHages of the interior could not withstand the assault of the people without reinforcements. The population of Melazzo, a town I near Messina, had risen, seized the castle, and opened a communication with the insurgents, by whom Messina is invested. The Italian flag was raised beside the Sicilian in most of the towns of the island. It was reported that Castrogiovanni, a strong place in the centre of the island, was in full insurrection. Advices from Naples of the 11th represent that city to be the theatre of great alarm and excitement. Arbitrary arrests took place daily officers suspected of favouring the Sicilian movement were led into the castle of St. Elmo and immediately shot. Notwithstanding the efforts of the Government to intercept all intelligence from the interior, it was known that the insurrection in the Calabrias was spreading, and had in fact extended to the Abruzzi, where Teramo, the chief town, had raised the standard of revolt. The Journal des Debate announces the receipt of letters from Turin, dated the 1,5th inst., stating that the King had returned on the I:3th from a journey which he had made into the district of Montserrat. He had scarcely arrived at Turin, when acting under the impression of certain demon- strations which he had witnessed on his passage, he commanded M. Lazan, the Inspector-General of the police of the kingdom, to forbid, by royal ordinance, the wearing in the Sardinian states any cockades or colours except those of the House of Savoy. Letters from Rome of the previous week mentioned that the Prince of Canino, the son of Lucien Bonaparte, had, in con- sequence of having interfered in the demonstrations made at Rome on the afternoon of the 7th and 8th inst., been suspended by the Pope from his functions in the civic guard. His Holiness had further ordered that the actors in those scenes of disturbance should be pro- secuted. The presence of the Duke de Modena at Vienna (says the Union Monarchique) must not be attributed to the events now passing in Italy. His brother the Archduke Ferdinand, is about to be married immediately to the Archduchess Maria Theresa, daugh- ter of the Archduke Palatine. The motive of his visit is to be present at the ceremony. The French Govern- ment is said to have received accounts from Leghorn on Wednesday, that the Duke de Lucca had quitted his dominions, and had placed himself under the protection of Austria. It is said that he hu gone to Vionna. SWITZERLAND.—The signs of approaching collision in the Swiss confederation increase. We have intel- ligence from Berne of the 16th that the cantonal government of the Valais has not only protested against the resolution of the diet to expel the Jesuits, but has formally declared that the canton of the Valais will not comply with that decision, and, if necessary, will oppose forcible resistance to its execution. It was said that the ministers of Austria, Prussia, and Russia, who hitherto have resided at Zurich, were about to remove to Berne, M. Bois le Comte, the French minister, having lost all influence with the governments of the liberal cantons, without gaining the confidence of those of the Sonderbund. The following statistical account is not without interest at the present moment :-The cantons which are hostile to the Sonderbund contain together a population of 1,867,910 souls, of whom 1,358,510 are Protestants, and 509,400 are Catholics. The males from 17 to 60 years of age number 275,850. The federal contingent is 50,104 men, and the Landwebr 46,889, making a total military force of 96,993 men, with 278 pieces of artillery, of which 36 are battering cannon! The neutral cantons of Neufchatel, Bale- Town, and Inner-Appenzell, comprise 105,000 souls, of whom 89,700 are Protestants, and 15,300 Catholics. The men from 17 to 60 years of age are reckoned at 15,600 the federal contingent is 2,528, and the Land- wehr 2,190, making an armed force of 4,718 men, with 32 pieces of artillery. The population of the seven Catholic cantons (the Sonderbund) amounts to 391,620 souls, of whom 6,620 are Protestants, and 385,000 are Catholics. The fliale population from 17 to 60 years of age amounts to 56,350, 'the federal 'contingent to 11,387, and tbe Landwehr to 20,436-total 31,823, with 87 pieces of artillery; to which must be added 12 pieces taken from Bale-Country and Argan in the expe- dition of the Free Corps, and 20 pieces recently purchased from abroad. The budget of these cantons united amounts to 2,509,000f., and the federal con- tingent in money to 119,788f. The Sonderbund there- fore has only 31,823 men and 119 cannon to contend against 96,993 men and 278 cannon. GREECE.—Greece is in a state of extreme jeopardy. Coletti is dead; the insurrectionary spirit is increasing, and hostilities on the part of Turkey are imminent, if not actually begun. The bill accepted by M. Eynard for 500,000 francs, the amount of the first half year's interest on the Greek loan due to England, has been paid. The money, we presume, comes out of the French treasury. RusslA,-Some measure, of a grave and important nature, seems to be meditated by the Emperor of Russia, the report which appeared a few days ago in the Morning Advertiser, that all the Ambassadors of Russia at foreign Courts were to be summoned to meet at St. Petersburgh, being again revived. It is also added, that the Grand Duke Constantine was re- called from his foreign excursion to take part in these deliberations. Rumour says, that this congres diploma- tique arises from an intention on the part of the Autocrat of all the Russias to exchange the cares of his high station for the repose of private life. OVERLAND MAIL.-The following summary of In- dian intelligence, brought by the overland mail, has reached Paris by telegraph from Marseilles. Intelli- gence from Calcutta to the 6th of August has been received. The Punjaub was tranquil. From China the advices were menacing. It had been advisable to withdraw the Anglo-Indian troops from Hong Kong, leaving only the detachment of the 95th and other rifles. Sir John Davis had retained the Royal Irish, and the 4211d Indian Madras regiment. It was feared at Hong Kong that new troubles would break out, and that the Island of Chusan would be again occupied this year. WEST INDIES.—The royal mail steam-ship Thames has arrived at Southampton. She brings forty passen- gers, and 230 casks of coffee. The islands were healthy and the weather favourable. Letters from Hayti, 22nd August, described the capital in a state of civil war a rebellious chief, General Similion, had encamped at the palace neither life nor property was safe, either to natives or foreigners. A meeting of the Jamaica Chamber of Commerce was held on Friday, 13th August, at Kingston, to examine into the agricultural and com- mercial affairs of the colony, and it was unanimously resolved that subscriptions should be set on foot to meet the expenses of agencies and otherwise, with a view to obtain the efficient advocacy of the colonial interest in Great Britain, as, since the adoption of free- trade principles in England, and the admission of slave-grown sugar into her markets for home consump- tion, the average price of colonial sugar had fallen 13s. per cwt. or £13 per ton, being a reduction of fully 50 per cent. in the short space of nine months, in the value of the main staple of the Island. That, indepen- dently of this great fall in price, another and more alarming feature presented itself, in the fact that, although the consumption of sugar in England has greatly increased, yet that this increased consumption was entirely supplied by slave-grown produce, whilst the consumption of British West-India sugar had very considerably decreased and that unless this be checked by some vigorous and permanent measures on the part of the government, the British colonies would be inevi- tably and entirely driven out of the English market, and the cultivation of estates be rendered ruinous to all. A NEW FRENCH SCANDAL.—The Paris correspon- dent of the Atlas states that there has been a rumour for the last few days of the approaching publication of sundry accusations, to be corroborated by proofs and facts, of the unlawful sale of the national property by a certain exalted personage. Timber, to the value of 76,000,000f., has been sold from the forests of the crown; and, worse than all, has been sold to the English government for the use of the navy. JEWS IS SWEDEN.—The King of Norway and Swe- den has charged the minister of justice to draw up a bill to authorise the admission of Jews into the kingdom of Norway, from which they are at present entirely excluded, and to declare to what rights they are to be entitled. The bill will be submitted to the Storthing in its next session. PRUSSIA.—The simultaneous opening of all the railroads that have recently been completed in Prussia is to take place on the 15th of October-King Frede- rick William's birthday. RELATIONS WITH kotE.-The Nonconformist says —" We recognise the Sultan of Turkey, the Emperor of Morocco, and more heathen monarchs than we can stay to enumerate. Why should we not recognise also the Pope of Romp, simply as the temporal sovereign of certain Italian states ?" A suit has been instituted in the Royal Court of Berlin by Prince Albert Frederic Henry of Prussia, brother of the King, for a divorce from his wife, who is a daughter of the King of the Netherlands. The Prince and Princess have lived apart for five years, carefully avoiding beinn- ever at the same time in the same town. It has been stated in Madrid that Espartero will be appointed Ambassador to London. The Journal des Debats publishes a letter, dated Berlin loth inst., which announces that several cases of Asiatic Cholera had appeared at Charkow and at Kiew. Letters received from Warsaw, the 9th inst., state that the Governor-General of the kingdom of Poland had appointed a committee of physicians to suggest measures for the preservation of the kingdom from the irruption of the cholera. Ihe b^raunfort Journal publishes a letter, dated Warsaw, Pith inst., which states that the utmost consternation prevails in that city in consequence of the appearance of cholera at Kiew, and its rapid progress towards the west. The authorities were preparing hospitals and a lazaretto at Warsaw. M_M_

Louis PHILIPPE'S; LAST VICTIM.—It was with much concern for poor Queen Pomare, that we read the sub- joined paragraph :—" The Semaine states that a pro- fessor of the University, sent out to Oceania by the Go- "ernment, is charged to give to Queen Pomare lessons in the French language, which sue already speaks and writes with a certain correctness. She is also being taught the first elements of arithmetic, of geography, and history," "The Queen," says the above journal, "shows such intelligence and penetration in her studies, that it is to be regretted that her mind was not sooner cultivated." The intention of Louis Philippe is here made plain enough. The poor Sandwich Queen is another victim for the Ogre of Peace. Pomare will follow Isabella. She is to be taught French that Louis Philippe may give her the benefit of his paternal advice. The professor of the Paris University is to prepare her for destruction; and then the King of the French will write letters to her doomed Majesty. There is but little doubt either that an Ambassador Extraordinary will be sent out to Oceania. It is, to be sure, unfortunate that Louis Philippe has no unmarried son nevertheless, he may have a husband in his benevolent eye for Pomare, her present mate being by all accounts a most disreputa- ble fellow. Indeed, this very circumstance may have especially moved Louis Philippe towards the Oceanic Queen, his Majesty having always manifested such pa- ternal tenderness in the cause of ill-used, mis-matched women. That Pomare should be taught the first ele- ments of arithmetic by order of Louis Philippe is so kind, and so like himself: it is only a repetition of his benevolence towards Isabella; for how f completely has he taught her since her marriage this first element of arithmetic, namely, that one and one are—two ? And the Queen is to learn geography. This is gratifying. As her Majesty, when fobbed of her country, will at least have the satisfaction of knowing the latitude and longitude of her lost possession-with its due bearing from France. The Queen, moreover, is to study history. But, we doubt not, that Louis Philippe has, with the kindest possible notice, commanded the professor to say not a syllable of Spaiii.-I)oziglas Jerrold's Newspaper. POLITICAL CHARITY.-Honk being told of the mar- riage or a political opponent, exclaimed, II I am very I glad to bear it." Then suddenly added, with a feeling of compassionate forgiveness, And yet, I don't see why I should be, poor fellpw, for he never did much j harm, t GLOUCESTER MUSICAL FESTIVAL.—The 24th annual meeting of the three choirs of Gloucester, Worcester, and Hereford, was held this year at Gloucester, and the musical festival commenced in that city on Tuesday week. The performance in the Cathedral on Tuesday morning presented nothing new. After the first anthem the Rev. Edward Ellerton, D.D., of Magdalen-college, Oxford, preached a sermon, on a text taken from the General Epistle of St. Jude. The attendance was numerous, and the collection at the doors amounted to £171. The concert in the evening was not very fully attended, although we are assured that the audience was as large as is usual at the first night's concert. The majority of the company remained for the ball, at which. dancing was kept up till a late hour. The grand attrac- tion of the festival, Mendelssohn's oratorio of Elijrth, was performed on Wednesday, and drew together a crowded and highly fashionable audience. Every seat in the Cathedral was occupied, and we understand that premiums were offering for tickets by persons who had arrived too late to participate in the regular issue. Elijah is, undoubtedly, Mendelssohn's masterpiece, and judging from the enthusiasm with which it is every- where received, we should say that it bids fair to become a standard oratorio, and to take its place with Handel's Messiah and Haydn's Creation. In the principal vocal parts, Madame Caradori, Miss Dolby, Mr. Lockey, and Herr Staudigl exhibited all those powers for which, alto interpreters of sacred music, they are so renowned. The Misses Williams also joined in some of the dlrel. and concerted pieces, and the perfect blending of their beau- tiful voices, the result of long study and combined practice, excited marked attention. Among the choruses the most effective was, Thanks be to €fbd." The overture and accompaniments were admirably played by the band, and the oratorio. was, altogether, splendidly performed. The collection was X242 14s. 4d. The concert in the evening was well attended. Of course the grand feature was Alboni, who, as a contralto singer, has no equal in this country. Her first solo was, Rossini's Una voce," which had been substituted for In si barbara," from Semiramide. Her triumph was complete, and such extravagant expressions of admira- tion resounded from all parts of the hall, as can only be evoked by extraordinary talent. Mendelssohn's inci- dental music to the Midsummer Nighfs Dream was magnificently performed, and Staudigl won new laurels in Handel's 0, ruddier than the cherry." The per- formances at the Cathedral on Thursday consisted of selections from the oratorios of the Creation, Judas Maccabeus, and Israel in Egypt, and from Beethoven's service in C major, and Mozart's Requiem. The collec- tion amounted to £ 120 10s. The concert in the evening was fully attended, and Alboni made her second appear- ance, with increased success. The oratorio of the Messiah, yesterday, was well supported and the collec- tion amounted to E147 Is. 3d. The fancy ball, at the Shire-hall, was a gay affair. The gross collections amount to between JL80 and £90 more than did those raised at the last festival. BRUTAL ASSAULT AND STRANGELY LENIENT SEN- TENCE.—Iiichard Haynes, aged twenty-eight, labourer, was indicted, on Wednesday at the Central Criminal Court, for feloniously wounding Jane M'Casland, with intent to do her some grievous bodily harm.—The pro- secutrix, a young girl, who was still suffering severely from the brutal attack made upon her by the prisoner, said that on the evening of the 25th of July she was sent by her mother to fetch a jug of water, and as she was passing along Lant-street, Southwark, she saw the prisoner lead along a drunken woman. She turned round to look at them, and the prisoner suddenly dropped the woman and, rushing towards her, kicked her on the abdomen with all his force, and she fell to the ground insensible —The prisoner said that it was his mother who was drunk, and he wished to know whether the prosecutrix did not call out and say that he had kicked his mother ?--The prosecutrix denied having made use of such an expression, and declared that she did not say a word to the prisoner before b& kicked her.—Charles Somerville, a labouring man, said he saw the prisoner leading along his mother, and he was followed by a crowd of children, some of whom were hooting, but the prosecutrix did not take any part in it. The prisoner suddenly turned round, and addressing the prosecutrix, said, "If you don't get out of the way I'll kick your g-s out," and he instantly rushed at her and kicked her. [The boot worn by the prisoner at the time was produced. It was a very heavy one, and tipped at the toe with iron.] -34r. Heath, the surgeon, who was ealled in, described the injury inflictcd by the prisoner as being of a most serious character, and said that at one time he considered the life of the prosecutrix in danger. She was still suffering, and would probably- feel the effect of the injury for the rest of her life.—Mr. Justice Williams, in summing up the case, told the jury that the material question for them to consider was the intent of the prisoner. It was not because serious injury was the result of the prisoner's act that they were therefore to infer his intention was to do that injury,, and they were to judge, from all the circumstances,, whether at the time he kicked the prosecutrix lic- intended to do her serious bodily harm, as was imputed to him by the indictment, or whether he was merely\ guilty of a common assault.—The jury, after a short consultation, found the prisoner guilty of a common assault.—A police constable informed the Court that a. short time before this transaction the prisoner had been charged with committing a violent assault upon four boys, and he was under recognizances when he com- mitted the assault upon the prosecutrix.—Mr. Justice Williams, in passing sentence, told the prisoner that the act of kicking a girl of tender years, or indeed any- woman, was most brutal and disgraceful, and it was for- tunate that the jury had acquitted him of the more serious intention, and had only found him guilty of a common assault. He should take that fact into con- sideration, and also the circumstance that at the time of the occurrence he was placed in a peculiar positioa with a drunken mother, and that he had no doubt been aggravated by the crowd of children who were about' him. and committed the assault under the impression that the prosecutrix was one of those who had annoyed him. The Court, however, felt bound to punish him with some severity, and the sentence was that he be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for six calendar, months. SHOKING ACCIDENT AT HANDLEIGH.—On Thursday week, about two o'clock, the town of Handleigh was painfully excited by intelligence that an alarming acci- dent had occurred at the railway station, situate about a quarter of a mile from that place. The railway line, which is a branch of the Eastern Union, was, it appears opened for traffic about a fortnight since. The maitv efforts of the company having been to complete the line, the stations and accommodation buildings had been left to be subsequently erected. These have since been rapidly proceeded with, and in the case of this particular station, the outer walls had been carried to their proper height. Beyond the station, at the east end, a wing wall had been carried out a distance of 30 feet, which., was intended to support the roof over the platform and the carriages when placed for starting. On Thursday last an excursion train had been announced for thli Ipswich regatta, and, from the novelty of railway travel- ling, between 500 and 600 of the inhabitants flocked thither to avail themselves of it. These had all assembled on the platform waiting for the train being backed up, and at the eastern end, being the upper part they were most thickly congregated, under shelter of the 30 feet of wing wall above mentioned. The wil.d had been blowing all the forenoon with terrific violence, and was peculiarly feit at the station from its exposed position. Just before the train had been arranged to start, a tremendous gust of wind occurred, and the wing wall was thrown down in one mass upon the passengers assembled beside it, and who must have numbered upwards of 150. The scene is described by those who witnessed it to have been dreadful in the extreme; as the wall fell most violent shrieks rent the air, and were the next moment exchanged for the cries and groans of the wounded. The platform gave way beneath the accumulated weight; and this circumstance, and the very large number of persons assembled, made the con. sequences far more serious than would otherwise have been the case. As it was, the effects of the accident were most disastrous; more than 60 are now under medical care, and it has been almost as much as the surgeons of the town could do to pay attention to the different cases. Several sustained serious fractures and other extensive injuries, but as yet no fatal results have occurred. No blame is chargeable to the rail way autho- rities, nor to any other parties. The occurrence was purely accidental, and can only be attributed to the strength of the hurricane and to the wall being newly-erected. Two ENGLISH WHALERS DESTROYED IN DAVIS'S STRAITS BY ICEBERGHS.— We regret to have to an- nounce the loss of two large vessels employed in the Davis's Straits fisheries, one the Bon Accord," of Hull, 600 tons burden, Captain Lee, and the Alfred." 400 tons, of Bowuess, with the most intense sufferings of the crews. From the letters received by the owneis, it appears the vessels were lost within a quarter of a mile of each other, on the same day, the 3d of last July, in 75 N., being crushed to complete wrecks between ice- bergs. It was blowing a hurricane at the time, with constant snow, and there was not the slightest chance of extricating them, the crews having to make the pre- cipitate retreat over the ice to escape death. The crews, 60 in number, suffered fearfull), from the cold. They were driven about with the ice nearly a month before they were rescued. With the exception of three seamen, they were all saved, and are at present at Up- pernovick, awaiting a vessel to biing them to England. The fisheries in the Straits have been exceedingly scanty this season. Neither of the above vessels was insured. LOOSE HABITS.—A clerpyman was censuring a yourg lady for tight lacing. Why," replied miss, yo" would not surely recommend loose habits' to your ptrithip?ert.
