The Victori stood for the vessel and hailed her, but got no response.

WOKCESTBR MUSICAL FESTIVAL.—In point of attendance I the late meeting has, undoubtedly, been the largest that the late meeting has, undoubtedly, been the largest that has been held probably, with one exception, since its establish- ment nearly a century and a half ago. M. DE PERSIG-NY CREATED A DUKE.— I LIE Moniteur contains an imperial decree, by which M. de Persigny is created a duke. His title is to be Duke de Persigny, and it will be hereditary in the direct male line in the order of pri- mogeniture. REPRESENTATION OF TAMWORTH.—Mr. R Peel, a son of the Dean of Worcester, is spoken of as a candidate for the representation of the borough of Tamworth, in the room of Lord Raynham, who succeeds to the peerage. Mr. Daniel, Q.C., is also mentioned as a probable candidate. The Coburg Gazette" says:—" We learn from Rosenau that a church choir, organised by M. Muller, in Neustadt, serenaded her Majesty Queen Victoria on Sunday morning, and that her Majesty heartily expressed her delight to the director." A gentleman of Liverpool, who does not publish his name has offered to give the sum of Clooo towards a fund of £ 10,000 which he estimates will be required, to purchase all the miserable and unhealthy courts which still disfigure the town, and which constantly generate fever and other infectious dis- ease,. MONC.UHXT TO THE HARTLEY SFPFEEEES.—A pla.il but massive monument is about to be erected in Hartley churchyard over the graves of the sufferers by the Hartley calamity.

UU Friday afternoon the statue which has been ejected in the Castle-yard at Exeter, to the memory of the late Earl Fortescne was solemnly inaugurated. There was a grand muster of the Devonshire rifle corps, and a very large attendance of the nobility and gentry of the neighbourhood. Reniicombe Manor, one of the finest estates m the county of Gloucester, containing upwards of 4,000 acres, has been sold to Sir F. Goldsmid, Bart, Q.C., M.P. for Reading, for £ 160,(00.

ELECTION OF LORD MAYOR.— Ihe citizens of London have been cited to attend at the Guildhall on the 29th iust., for the purpose of proceeding to the election of a Lord Mayor for the year 1863-64, in succession to Mr. VYilliam Anderson Rose, whose term of office will expire on the 8th of November. The Court of Aldermen will probably select Mr. Lawrence as the Lord Mayor for the ensuing year. He carries on the business of a builder in Lambeth. HERNE'S OAK.-On Thursday afternoon, soon after the arrival of her Majesty at Windsor Castle, the Queen and royal children visted Heme's Oak, which had not been removed. Since the downfall of this venerable relic it has been religiously guarded by keepers, until her Majesty's pleasure should be known as to its ultimate destination. During the late storm which pusssd over Windsor another fine old oak was struck down by the lightning. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE LANCASHIRE AND YORKSHIRE RAILWAY.—At about twelve minutes to twelve on Saturday last, whilst a miu named Edwards, a plate layer, employed on the Lancashire and Yorkshire railroad, was endeavouring to keep the line at the Sandhills station, near Liverpool, clear of the crowd which thronged that portion of the line eager to see the execution at Kirkdale, he was knocked down by an engine, and run over. The injuries were such as to caus; almost instantaneous death. The deceased leaves a wife and family. WEST WORCESTERSHIRE AND TEWKESBURY. In the event of the Hon. F. Lygon. M-P., for Tewkesbiny, standing for the division, in the room of his brother, we understand that Mr. Edmund Logan will come forward for the vacant borough on Conservative principles. That gentleman s connection with the interests of the town of Tcwkesbury and his popularity amongst the electors are such as to afford every promise of success; and there is good reason to believe that no opposition will be offered. SEBIOUS FIKE AT BII.STON. — About five o clock on Satur- day morning one of the partners in the japanning firm of Messrs. Dean and Co., at Bilston, was aroused by an alarm of fire on his premises. The fire-engine was at once sent tor, and the flames were eventually subdued, not, however, before the building had been completely gutted, and a large and valuable stock, consisting of papier-mache goods in every stage of the japanning process, had been destroyed. The damage is esti- mated at between £1,300 and £ ],400, but it is said the property is insured. THE DUKE OF BUCKINGHAM.—It is reported at King- ston, Jamaica, at the date of the last accounts, that the government of the island had been offered to the Duke of Buckingham, but that he made known his unwillingness to accept it unless the salary attached to the office were increased to £7000 or £8000 psr aiinum. "It is expected," says the Guardian, that Lieutenant-Governor Eyre will be allowed to remain here to open the next session of ths Legislature, when the question of additional salary to the Governor, with the view of securing the services of a nobleman, will be settled.' A FARMER KILLED BY HIS OWN BULL.-On Sunday morning-, about eight o'clock, a farmer named Edward M'Der- mott, was killed by his own bull at Ballyfermoyle, within a few miles of Boyle, An inquest was held on Tuesday, by T. P. Peyton, Esq., coroner, aijij it appeared in evidence that the bull having got into a potato field, deceased >yas in the act of driving him out, when the animal turned and attacked him. Having succeeded in pitching him into a deep furrow, and nut being able to gore him with his horns, ho, with unusual ferocity, knelt on the unfortunate man, literally crushing his body almost to a mummy. He survived, however, tor a tew hours in great suffering, and breathed his last before niglit.

Liberal arrangements were mudt io 011 le proceedings, which were of an impressive character. A large number of persons were present, among whom were several of the volunteer corps of the county, the late earl, in addition to his many other claims for public esteem, having been a warm and active promoter of tlie volunteer movement. The statue was formally presented to the Duke of Somerset, as the present lord licutenaut gt Devon, by Lord Clifford, 011 behalf of the committee appointed for the erection of this testimonial. The twenty-eight half-yeariy njeefjug of the Railway Pas- sengers Assurance Company was held ai, thtif offices, Corn- hill" on Sept. 2, Mr. James Clay, M.P., in the ci.^ir. The report, which was of the most favourable character, stated the total prenjium income for the half-year was £31,658, showing an increase of £ 3102 as compared with the corresponding period of last year. The amount-! paid as compensation during the half-year were, for eight falal iSOSO and for 870 claims for personal injury, f;11,579 together, £ 16,629. It is, doubtless, as the report states, to the reputation ^injed by this company fox* the promptitude and liboi'ftlity with winch all honest claims upon it arc met that its steady progress and present prosperity are mainly attributable. LORD CL^DE'» SISTER.—Wlii e his Ro}'al Highness the Duke of Cambridge and other high persons of military dis- tinction are, with creditable ieeling, proposing a monument to Lord Clyde, the following facts should be called to their attention. The gallant and lamented field-marshal hue left one only relative, a sister, who under the limitation of his patent of nobility, which was au ordinary one, takes no title, not even the designation of honourable," from him, and is simply Mis* Campbell. Now, as the widows of Clyde's two famous companions in arms, Npll and Havelock, were, after their huibands' death, raised to dignities by special inter- ference of thee rown—Lady Neil to the rank of E.C.B., and Lad}' Havelock to the rank of the wife of a baronet—it cer- tainly would seem but just that the same special interference of the crown should confer nobility, or rank at least, upon the sole surviving kindred, the sister of one of the best and most useful warriors this country has ever had. COTTAQ-EBS GARDENS.—ihe Western District Cottage Gardening Society held its annual exhibition and meeting at Penzance last week; the chair vas taken on the occasion by t he high sheriff of the county, Mr. W. CouUton, of Ifeneg:ie. In opening the proceedings, he commented upon the necessity for cottage gardens, and the many advantages, material and moral, which the poorer classes derived from having a small plot of ground of their own to cultivate. He referred to the fertility of the soil of Cornwall nnd the mildness of the cli- mate, and said that one ttf the chief advantages of cottage gardening was that it gave the poor man the jr,eans of healthy recreation, and kept him away from the public-house. Another advantage was the comparative independence which it con- ferred, by its produce contributing to the maintenance of the labourer and his family. Even the political advantages of cottage gardens were not to be overlooked. They attach the cottager not only to his home t ut to his country they foster sober, industrious, and domestic habits; they cncourago that feeling of independence which is the surest character of a citizen of a free land like our own." After dilating on the fli¡¡:I)' other advantage derivable from cottage gardens, the speaker went on to describe the produce suitable to the soil and climate of Cornwall, and concluded a long and instructive (I speech amid loud applause. Several other gentlemen having addressed ths meeting, it wa3 unanimously resolved that Mr. Coulson's speech should be printed and circulated in a cheap form for the instruction of the labouring classes. THE "MORNING HERALD" ON THE WAR.—The Great Powers of Europe have too long been the listless spectators of this deplorable civil contest. We believe, and we think most men in France and England' agree with us, that the time has now come when they have aright to make their voice heard in the settlement of American affairs. It will do much credit to the sagacity of the Emperor of the French if it should appear that he is alive to the advantage of being the first to do the right thing—the ilrst to claim the friendship and alliance of a people that will have abundant opportunity to prove its gratitude. We shall r. gret that our own country was not the foremost in the expression of a generous regard for a people that far more than its Northern toe is allied to us in blood and feeling. It cannot be denied that our interests pointed all in that direction. In the South is a supply of what we want—a market for what we sell, The South would pour its cotton into our ports, and receive our manufactures without prohibitory tariffs. England and the South are made ro be mutually assistant, mutually dependent. There is nothing but jealousy and ill-blood between us and the North, while the South, for all our cold treatment, looks upon us as friends and brethren. We have thrown away a magnificent opportunity, and spurned an alliance which would have been so great a gain on both sides. If the Emperor Napoleon should step in to accept this alliance, and avail inmselt ot all the privileges to which the first comer has the best claim, we cannot possibly find fault with him, as we have only ourselves to blame for it,

I THE COURT. DEPARTURE OF THE QUEEN FOR SCOTLAND. Her Majesty the Queen accompanied by their Royal High- nesses Prince Alfred, Princess Helena, Princess Louisa, Prince Arthur, and Prince Leopold, arrived at the Windsor Station of the Great Western Railway precisely at ten minutes before seven o'clock 011 Monday evening. The publicwere admitted to the station to witness the departure of her Majesty, who repeatedly bowed as the train slowly proceeded along the line- On her Majesty's arrival at Perth, she proceeded to Blair Athole, to pay a visit at Blair Castle to the Duke of Atliole, who has for some weeks been rapidly declining in health. While the Queen was at Blair Atliole, the Princess Louisa and Princes Arthur and Leopold paid a visit to the Earl of Mansfield at Scone Palace. The Duke of Atliole accompanied the Queen from the Castle to the railway station. Her Majesty took an affection- ate farewell of the Duke and Duchess. Tuesday evening her Majesty arrived at Balmoral at 6.15. The Prince and Princess of Wales met her Majesty at Aboyne. Their Royal Highnessess the Prince and Pr nccss Louis of Hesse and the Princess Victoria arrived at Buckingham Palace at 7 o'clock on Tuesday morning from Dover. The Prince and Princess Louis of Hesse and the Princess Victoria left the Palace at 8 o'clock the same evening, for the Euston-square terminus of the London and North-Western Railway, to proceed to Scotland to join Her Majesty at Balmoral. THE PRINCE OF WALES'S ELDEST SON.-It may possibly become a question at no distant period what shall be the title borne by the Prince of Wales' eldest son, and curiously enough there are not many precedents to serve as a guide. A corres- pondent of the Guardian writes The eldest sons of peers bear by courtesy the second title of their fathers, but there is no piecedent for the oldest son of the- Prince of Wales being designated either Duke of Cornwall or Karl of Chester, probably from the peculiar feudal nature or these peerages. Previous to the accession of the house of Hanover, only one Prince of Wales, the Black Prince Edward, had a son born during his father's lifetime. On the death ot that Prince, the Commons requested that his only surviving son, who was then in his tenth year, might be received with the honour due to-the presumptive heir to the crown. This request was granted, and the Commons preferred another petitiou that he might, be declared Prince of Wales, but the Lords objected that 'the grant of such honours belonged not to the Prelates or Barons, either in or out of Parliament, but exclusively to the Sovereign and the royal youth remained plain Lord Richard of Bordeaux until lie ascended the throne as Richard II. On the accession of King George I., his eldest son, after- wards George II., was created Prince of Wales, and three years afterwards his eldest son, Prince Frederick Lewis, was created Duke of Gloucester, and, in 1726, among other interior titles, Duke of Edinburgh. On the accession of George II., Prince Frederick was created Prince of Wales, and his eldest son, afterwards King George III., bore the title of Duke of Edinburgh till created Prince of Wales and Earl of Chester on his father's death in 1750. This would sc-eui a precedent for the eldest son of the present Prince of Wales being designated Earl of Dublin, which the Prince himself was created by patent in 1819. In the peerage of Scotland the eldest son of the King is always Duke of Rothesay and Earl of Carrick, but there is no precedent for the eldest son of a Prince of Wales being- known by either of these titles." 0 THANKSGIVING FOR THE HARVEST. The following letter has been addressed by the Lord Arch bishop of Canterbury to the clergy of his diocese :— Addington Park, Sept. 1, 1863. Rev. and Dear Sir,-The spectacle we have just witnessed of the in-gathering of a most abundant harvest during a singularly favourable season, calls for our devout acknowledg- ments to Almighty GoU for this instance of his providential care in thus blessing the labours of the husbandman, Believing that it will be congenial to your own feelings as well as to those of your parishioners that public thanks should be offered in the church for our Heavenly Father's goodness towards us, I trust that you will set apart some early day on which the inhabitants of your parish may meet together in the house of God to offer, through the services of the Church, the outpouring of their grateful hoarts for the signal mercy thus vouchsafed to our land. Iu recollection of the past sufferings of a large portion of our manufacturing population, our sense of this mercy will be deepened, when we reflect how vastly such sufferings would be aggravated by a scarcity of the staff of life during the coming winter, n r that a collection should be made as a iauk-offering after the sermon which will be preached; and as there is no diocesan church building society, I would re- commend that the amount gathered should be devoted to the use ot the Incorporated Society for Building and Enlarging 'niches, which has, doubtless, made very many grants towards building and enlarging churches in this diocese. •that this solemn occasion may be so improved and blessed as to impress us all with a deeper sense of our dependence on the bounty of our Gracious Father for our daily bread and. our daily comforts is the sincere prayer of—Your faithful and affectionate friend and brother. C. T. CANTUAR." The Bishop of Winchester has addressed the following letter to the Venerable Dr. Jacob, Archdeacon of Winchester :— Jersey, Sept. 12. My dear Archdeacon,—On inquiry of the Archbishop of Canterbury I do not learn that a day of general thankgiving for the late harvest is expected to he appointed with the sanction of the Queen in Council. Under these circumstances I request you will communicate to ths clergy of your arch- deaconry my reccommendaiion that they should set apart some covcnient day in their several parishes for the purpose of offering collectively humble thanks to Almighty God for His great goodness in vouchsafing us the abundant harvest of the present season. It is probable that in most, if not in all, instances collections will be proposed after the sermons in the churches; and I would suggest as a very appropriate object the devotion of the alms so given to the fund for rebuilding the Hampshire County Hospital.. "I am, my dear Archdeacon, your affectionate friend and brother, I" WINTONV In a similar letter to the Venerable J. S. Utterton, Arch- deacon of Surrey, the Bishop recommends that :the alms col- lected iu that archdeaconry shall be given to the new Surrey Hospital at Guildfcr.4.

THE FATAL STEAMSHIP COLLISION OFF DDNGENESS.— EXTRAORDINARY ESCAPE OF ONE OF THE MISSINTO SEAME*. —Sunday tidings were received of the safety of one of the sailors of the barque Elvira, Captain Hans, run down by the Ocean King, steamer, off Dungeness, who seems to have been Itt preserved in a most providential and extraordinary manner, About 18 hours after the foundering of the barque the captain of the French brig Renora, for Nantes (now at Dunkirk), when about five miles south-west of Dover, heard cries of distress, and on looking round saw a man clinging to a piece of wreck. His head and one arm were just visible above water, and the poor fellow was struggling for life. A boat was instantly lowered, and after much difficulty the man was got hold of and dragged on board the vessel, but so exhausted that they did not expect he would live. By means of stimulants and warm blankets he shortly recovered, and from his statement It wgs ascertained that he waa one of the three missing seamen of the barque, g.nd i"ho were supposed to have gone down with the ship, His escape is truly marvellous, His name is Benjamin Holman, of Plymouth, and be states that he was in his berth at the time of the collision, and hearing some one call he went on deck, but saw no one. The boats were gone and the ship was sinking. The night was very dark, and the wind blowing hard, and a heavy sea was running. As the ship sunk his aim vested on part of a hatchway, which sup- ported him until he was picked up ly the licnora on tho following day, which landed him at Dunkirk. The poor fellow speaks highly of the treatment which he met with on board the French vessel. Captain Hans, the master of the Elvira, in his report of the loss of the ship, attributes all the fault to the steamer. He says at nine p.m. he saw a bright light two points 011 the port side. Very soon afier a green light appeared and the lvd disappeared then again vice versa, till she neared them three points on the port bow, when he hailed the steamer to port her helm. He heard a voice from the steamer Hard-a-starboard," and in another minute she struck the barque a most fearful crash abreast the foretopmast backstay, and in three minutes she went down head foremost.

Miss Quick and Miss Cock, two young ladies, were bathing opposite the Western Esplanade about half-past ten o'clock, when persons walking near were alarmed by screams for help proceeding from the hapless bathers, who, it was seen, were being rapidly carried out to sea Ly the tidal current. Moments were precious, but no one seemed ready to give the needed assistance. Mr. Drew, a tradesmen living near, seeing people running towards the beach, left his shop, and on arrival at the water's edge saw that the young ladies were in the utmost danger, being already 40 feet away from the shore. Instantly, without removing any part of his dress, lie plunged into the water, and struck out for the now sinking bathers. Robert Stevens, a keeper of out for the now sinking bathers. Robert Stevens, a keeper of the bathing machines tor the bath proprietor, Mr. Norton followed Mr. Drew's example, lie also having his clothes 011 and an exciting scene occurred. Stevens reached one of the young ladies, and stretched out his hand to grasp her, but missing his aim, became frightened, and returned 011 shore. Drew meanwhile had reached the young lady furthest out, Miss Cock, and was bringing her in, when he saw that Stevens had goneashoye, and that Miss Quick had sunk several times, and would almost immediately be drowned. Leaving his first charge for a time Drew reached Miss Quick, and swam ashore with her, when she was receive! by those 011 the beach, and carried off to the bathe. Without nil in,tant" delay, Drew, exhausted as he was with previous exertion, pushed out again and caught Miss Cock, who, with a death-grip, clasped him round the neck, and they both disappeared. A shudder ran through the spectators, who whispered one to the other poor things they ire. both gone." Soon, however, they rose again, and with a Hiralcflurt, Drew towed his charge to the beach. The young ladies, the first rescued of whom was quite iu- sClbibli.M'ere at once carefully tended, and a warm bath, brandy, 4kwl tea being administered, they revived, and are now nearly recovered. The gallant fellow who had thus saved two lives refused the warm bath that was proffered to him but one of his hands was quite dead for tvyo hours afterwards, and he did not wholly get over the effects of his exertions that da}-. Connected with this exciting incident was another, in which, uuhappiiy, death was occasioned, Maria Williams, a healthy, middle-aged woman, who kept house tor her brother- in-law, Mr. lloulson, of the Bath lm^ was passing while the young ladies were being carried, insensible, into Mr. Norton's, aud was immediately seized with illness, and died within an hour, although attended by Sir. Quick, surgeon, before death. It is supposed that the fright produced a fit of apoplexy.— Western Morning JS'eios.
