AN earnest appeal is made to the Gentry and Clergy J"L of Wales, and to all others who take an interest in the improvement and extension of education in the Principality, for contributions towards the support of the Institution for training Schoolmasters at Carmarthen, which will open at Michaelmas next, under the manage- ment of the Rev. W. REED as Principal, and of a Welsh- man as Vice-Principal, and which will afford accommo- dation for sixty students, of whom the larger part are expected to be natives of Wales, and well acquainted with the Welsh as well as the English language. A most desirable site close to the town of Carmarthen has been secured, comprising ten acres and a half of land a convenient and substantial building has been erected, and the outlay for the land, building, fittings, and furniture, will amount to E8000, which will be met by grants from the Committee of Council on Education, the National Society, and the Welsh Education Fund. In order to enable the Welsh Education Committee to meet the annual expenses of the Institution, some special assistance, in the shape of Exhibitions, has been pro- mised by the Committee of Council on Education, and some aid has been given by the National Society; be- sides which, under the Mmutes of Council of December 1846, grapts may be obtained from the Committee of Council on Education at the end of each year of train- ing, in sums not less than E20 for every student concern- ing whose character and conduct the Principal shall give a satisfactory report; and concerning whose attainments, skill in teaching, and general aptitude for the office of Schoolmaster, it shall be reported to the Lord President, by one of Her Majesty's Inspectors of Schools, that a certain standard of merit has been attained. But in addition to these and other means at their dis- posal for the support of this Institution, the Welsh Education Committee would earnestly solicit from the friends of Education in Wales, donations or subscriptions guaranteed for a period of five years from Michaelmas 1848, in order to enable them to found a certain number of Exhibitions of E10, £15, and E20 a year each, for the support of deserving young men, whose character and attainments point them out as fit persons to undertake the office of teacher, but whose resources will not enable them to defray their expenses whilst at the College, although the terms of admission have been fixed by the Committee at the unusually low rate of twenty guineas a year. Even in England, the persons best fitted to become useful Schoolmasters are often unable to procure the re- quired training for want of means and in the poorer districts of the Principality this inability will be of very frequent occurrence, and the work of training will be seriously impeded in that country unless a large propor- tion of the Students are Exhibitioners. The term of five years has been fixed for the continu- ance of the Exhibitions now proposed to be given, be- cause that term will afford a fair trial to the Institution and because, at the expiration of that term, a, large number of Monitors and Pupil-teachers, apprenticed under the Minutes of Council, will be ready to enter Training Schools, and will obtain exhibitions for that purpose from the Parliamentary grant for Education. A sum of F,100 has been given by His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales to the Welsh Fund, which will, by permission, be applied in aid of the object above de- scribed and a sum of £50 has been promised by Her Majesty the Queen Dowager, which will be similarly appropriated. In addition, the following sums have been already pro- mised, payable in five yearly Exhibitions, dated from Michaelmas 1848 The Lord Bishop of St. David's £ 75 Viscount Emlyn, M.P. 75 Col. the Hon.

JOHN KAYE'S PILLS, demonstrated to be the best 40 Family and General Medicine in Use. — The Triumphs of this Medicine in conquering Disease are truly wonderful. There is scarcely a town, hamlet, or village in the United Kindom, in which there are not families who bear willing testimony to the surprising efficacy of WORSDELL'S VEGETABLE RESTORA- TIVE PILLS, prepared by John Kaye, Esq., of Dalton Hall, near Huddersfield. Nothing can be more adapted to Family use than these Pills. Being warranted free from Mercurial, Antimonial, or other Mineral substance, they may be taken with perfect safety, alike by the Infant ..I the Adult. Their peculiar excellence consists in their Blood-purifying effects. When taken into the sys- tem, they remove obstructions, and cause the fluids to flow in their natural order. They free the stomach from crudities and vitiated secretions, and, consequently, aid digestion, and relieve the Head from oppressiveness. Perfectly assimilating with that vital principle, the Blood, a war of extirmination is commenced against everything destructive to health; hence the wonderful cures, hundreds of which have been publicly recorded of Boils, Sores, Ulcers, Scurvy, Scrofula, and all Cu- taneous Diseases. And, at the same time that this Me- dicine operates thus externally, a most important work is accomplished internally. The blood being charged with a health-giving power, the Liver immediately, expe- riences its influence, and, all acrimonious bile being carried out of the system, it is enabled to perform all its functions with tone and energy. Indigestion, Flatu- lency, Palpitations of the Heart, Nervous Irritation, and all other Symptoms arising from the irregular action of the system, are removed in an incredibly short space of time. Let Kaye's Worsdell's Pills be but fairly tried, and it will be acknowledged that it is not possible ade- quately to speak of their great efficacy. Thousands upon thousands who had long suffered acutely, and in number less instances given up as incurable, have been restored to that greatest of all blessings, sound health A list recently issued contains about Three Hundred of the most remarkable Testimonials ever published. The Proprietor wishes it to be particularly borne in mind, that while the adult members of Families will find the use of these Pills supersede the necessity of calling in a Medical Adviser, and operate as Curatives, they are also invaluable as Preventatives of those dis eases to which Children are subject. One or two of these Pills according to the age of the child), adminis- tered in a little jam or preserve, will be found effectual in suppressing Fever, in clearing the Lungs, and conse- quently removing Cough; in aiding Digestion, and in imparting Vigour and Activity to the whole constitution CAUTION. To prevent fraud, the Honourable the Commissioners of Stamps have ordered the words "WORSDELL'S PILLS, by JOHN KAYE," to be engraved on the Government Stamp; and as further protection, Mr. Kaye's arms, and a fac-simile of his sig- nature, are printed on the Directions wrapped round each box, and to imitate which is felony. Sold in Boxes, at Is. lid., 2s. 9d., and 4s 6d. each. Agent for Carmarthen, J. T. Jones, Blue-street; Llanelly, Mrs. E.

IT is MARRIAGE that invests MAN with his highest -t. dignities. It gives him importance as a member of the State extends his influence in the social scale, and elevates him to a responsible position as the head of a family. How is it, then, to be accounted for that mar- riage is so frequently productive of unhappiness ? What is it that palls the conjugal cheek with wretchedness and makes the eye sink in humiliation so often, when the amiable qualities of a partner and the comforts of inde- pendence seem sufficient to ensure complete felicity ? These are questions only to be answered by the physician and the parties themselves. The sad realities of life are seldom apparent, and a painful mystery envelopes the most hopeless condition of misery to which a human creature can be reduced; consequently the sufferer lingers on to the grave, while a.smiling world views those sufferings with unsatisfied curiosity, or remains alto- gether ignorant even of their existence. And why is this ? It is the effects of shame, of terror, and despair emanating from a knowledge of the existence of physical disqualiifcations, produced in most instances by fatal ex- cesses, of which, and of their cure, a lucid and invaluable exponent is now offered to the public; and the unhappy may assure themselves of consolation and relief by con- sulting Dr. La'Mert's work, entitled SELF-PRESERVA- TION, which may be had in English, French, German, or Spanish, in a sealed envelope, illustrated with forty coloured engravings, price 2s. 6d. or post-free from the author for forty-two stamps. SELF-PRESERVATION is a Medical Treatise on the Physiology of Marriage, Infelicitous and Unproduc- tive Unions, and the Secret Infirmities and Disorders of Youth and Maturity, usually acquired at an early period of life, which enervates the physical and mental powers, diminish and enfeeble the natural feelings, and exhaust the vital energies of Manhood; with practical observa- tions on the treatment of Nervous Debility and Indiges- tion, whether arising from these causes, close study, or the influence of tropical climates Local and Constitu- tional Weakness, Syphilis, Stricture, and all diseases and derangements resulting from Indiscretion. With forty coloured Engravings, illustrating the Anatomy, Phy- siology, and Diseases of the Reproductive Organs, ex- plaining their structures, uses, and functions, and the various injuries that are produced in them by solitary habits, excesses, and infection. By SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D., 37, Bedford-sq., London, Doctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the Uni- versity of Edinburgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, &c. &c. This work yields hope and information to the despair- ing. It contains a minute account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of their relative conditions in health and disease; luminous ex- planations respecting the vital powers clear pictures of vice and its consequences; and to those who suffer from the pernicious indulgencies of early life, or the follies of advanced age, it is invaluable. The reader there sees that he is not by nature prostrated, and that a remedy exists for his apparently hopeless condition. On ascer- taining this, it becomes a duty to seek assistance only where he can be assured of sympathy, secrecy, and an accurate knowledge of his disease and its causes under every variation and where the characteristics of the intelligent and practical physician are guaranteed by the possession of the requisite legal qualifications.

THE ORIGINAL HOWQUA's X MIXTURE, of 40 Rare Black Teas, and MOWQUA's SMALL- LEAF GUNPOWDER. BY APPOINTMENT. The reputation of these Teas is now so thoroughly established that it is unnecessary to dilate upon their pe- culiar qualities. They have acquired a celebrity, in a comparatively short period, unparalleled in the annals of trade. Brocksopp, How, and Co., 233 and 234, High- street, Southwark, London, feel confident that the su- periority of their articles and their standing in the tea market will suffice to distinguish them from the puffing adventurers of the day. The Howqua's Mixture of 40 rare Black Teas is now reduced to 5s. 8d. per lb. Catty Package, and the Mow- qua Small-Leaf Gunpowder to Ss.per lb. Catty Package. Half and Quarter Catties may be had. To meet the requirements of families in Great Britain, the managers of Howqua's and Mowqua's estates have commenced shipping a SECOND GROWTH, called SEMI-HOWQUA and SEMI-MOWQUATwhich, while partaking of all the distinguishing qualities of the origi- nals, are, as being more economical, better adapted for ordinary consumption. Semi-Howqua per pound catty package 5s. Semi-Mowqua Pearl-Leaf Gunpowder, do. do. 7s. CAUTION.—These Teas are genuine only when con- tained in original Chinese Packages, secured with the seals of Howqua and Mowqua. B. H. & Co. also continue to supply their original and well-known Package Teas at all prices. THE CHEAPEST AND BEST COFFEE. Brocksopp & Co. roast their Coffees by powerful steam machinery, and prepare them after the French manner. Great economy and improvement of flavour are the results, coffees prepared by this process being 30 per cent. stronger than those roasted in the ordinary way. Demerara..Is. 4d. per lb.

PATRONIZED BY HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN, Her Majesty, the Queen Dowager, And His Royal Highness Prince Albert. MR. THOMAS HOWARD'S SUCCEDANEUM FOR filling Decayed Teeth, however large the cavity. Fit is superior to anything ever before used, as it is placed in the tooth in a soft state, without any pressure or pain, and in a short time becomes as hard as the enamel, and will remain firm in the tooth for many years, rendering extraction unnecessary. It arrests all further progress of decay, and renders them again useful in mas- tication. All persons can use this SUCCEDANEUM THEMSELVES WITH EASE, as full directions are enclosed. Prepared only by Mr. Thomas Howard, Surgeon Dentist, to his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury, 17, George-street, Hanover-square, London, who will send the Succedaneum free by Post to any part of the king- dom. Price 2s. 6d. Observe, the Succedaneum is sold in Sealed Packets, with full directions for use enclosed, and the signature, THOMAS HO WARD, in Red Ink on the outside of the Wrapper.

Mr. Howard's Succedaneum will keep good in India, and the Colonies for any length of time. LOSS OF TEETH. Mr. Howard continues to supply the Loss of Teeth, without springs or wires upon his new system of SELF- ADHESION, and without extracting any Teeth or Stumps, or giving any pain whatever. This method has procured him universal approbation, and is recommended by nu- merous Physicians and Surgeons as being the most in- genious system of supplying artificial teeth hitherto invented in all cases restoring Perfect Articulation and Mastication, and so perfectly natural in appearance as to defy detection by the closest observer. They adapt themselves over the most tender gums, or remaining roots without causing the least pain, rendering the pain- ful operation of extracting quite unnecessary. They are so fixed as te fasten any loose teeth, where the gums have shrunk from the use of calomel or other causes. He also begs to invite those not liking to undergo any painful operation, as practised by most members of the profession, to inspect his painless yet effective system and that his improvements may be within the reach of the most economical, he will continue the same mode- rate charges Mr. Howard, Surgeon Dentist to his Grace the Arch- bishop of Canterbury, 17, George Street, Hanover Square near Regent Street, London. At home from 11 till 5. Those interested in the subject will find this statement of their superiority over all others to be entirely and scrupulously correct. His new method of fixing Artificial teeth has obtained the approbation and recommend ition of the following eminent Physicians and Surgcons: Sir James Clarke, Bart., Physician to her Majesty; Dr. Locock, Physician-Accoucheur to Her Majesty; Sir B. Brodie, Bart., Sergeant-Surgeon to Her Majesty: the late Sir Astley Cooper, Sergeant-Surgeon to her Majesty: Sir D.

TO LADIES Travelling, or while otherwise exposed to the scorching rays of the Sun and heated particles of dust, ROWLANDS' KALYDOR WILL prove a most refreshing preparation for the VT Complexion, dispelling the cloud of langour and relaxation, allaying all heat and irritability, and imme- diately affording the pleasing sensation attending re- stored elasticity and healthful state of the Skin. Com- posed of choice exotics of balsamic nature, utterly free from all mineral admixture, and pleasing and delightful in its effects, Rowlands' Kalydor tends to neutralize the action of the atmosphere upon the Skin, and to promote that healthy action of the microscopic vessels, by which its general well-being and the beauty of its appearance are so essentially promoted. Freckles, tan, spots, pim- ples, flushes, and discolorations, fly before its application, and give place to delicate smoothness, and the glow of beauty and of bloom. In cases of SUN-BURN, or Stings of Insects, its virtues have long been acknowledged. Its purifying and refreshing properties have obtained its exclusive selection by Her Majesty the Queen, the Court, and the Royal Family of Great Britain, and the several Courts of Great Britain together with the elite" of the Aristocracy, from the sultry climes of India, to the frozen realms of the Czar. The high reputation it bears induces unprincipled Shopkeepers to offer their spurious KALYDORS" for sale, containing mineral astringents utterly ruinous to the Complexion, and by their repellent action, endanger- ing health. It is therefore imperative on Purchasers to see that the words "ROWLANDS' KALYDOR" are on the Wrapper, and A. ROWLAND and SON, 20, Hatton Garden," also engraved (by desire of the Hon. I Commissioners) on the Government Stamp, affixed on each bottle. Price 4s. 6d. and 8s. 6d. The HEAT OF SUMMER, also, frequently communicates a dryness to the Hair, and a tendency to fall off, which may be completely obviated by the use of ROWLANDS' MACASSAR OIL, A DELIGHTFULLY FRAGRANT AND TRANSPARENT PRE- PARATION and as an invigorator and beautifier, beyond all precedent. Its intrinsic worth has obtained the ex- clusive patronage of Her Majesty the Queen, the Court, and the Royal Family of Great Britain, and the several Sovereigns and Courts of Europe. Price 3s. 6d.-7s.-Family bottles (equal to four small) 10s. 6d.), and double that size), 21s. per bottle. Each bottle of their genuine article has the words —ROWLANDS' MACASSAR OIL engraved in two lines on the Wrapper and on the back of the Wrapper nearly 1,500 times, containing 29,028 letters. Nor at this season can we be too careful to preserve the TEETH from the deleterious effects of Vegetable Acids (the immediate cause of Tooth-ache,) by a syste- matic employment, night and morning, of ROWLANDS' ODONTO, OR PEARL DENTIFRICE, A WHITE POWDER, compounded of the rarest and nwst fragrant exotics. It bestows on the teeth a Pearl-like Whiteness, frees them from Tartar, & imparts to the Gums a healthy firmness, and to the breath a delightfttlfragrance. Price 2s. 9d. per box. CAUTION.—To protect the Public from fraud, the Hon. Commissioners have directed the Proprietors' Name and Address, thus A. ROWLAND and SON, 20, Hatton Garden," to be engraved on the Government Stamp, which is affixed on each box. ROWLANDS' HAIR WASH. This is a Preparation from the choicest Oriental Herbs, of peculiarly mild and detersive properties. It pleasingly and effectually cleanses the HAIR and SKIN of the HEAD from Scurf and every species of impurity, and imparts a delicate fragrance. It is particularly re- commended to be used after BATHING, as it will prevent the probability of catching cold in the head, and will render the hair dry in a few minutes.—Price 3s. 6d. per bottle. ————— IMPORTANT CAUTION. UNPRINCIPLED SHOPKEEPERS for the sake of gaining a trifle more profit, vend the most SPURIOUS COMPOUNDS, under the same names some under the implied sanction of Royalty, and the Government De- partments, with similar attempts at deception while they copy the labels, bills, advertisements & testimonials, (sub- stituting fictitious names and addresses for the real) of the original preparations. It is therefore highly neces- sary to see that the word ROWLANDS' is on the Y, ripper of each article. Sold by the Proprietors-A.

THE FALL OF THE DUKE OF BUCKINGHAM.…
THE FALL OF THE DUKE OF BUCKINGHAM. I [From Monday's Times-1 I During the past week the British public has been ad- mitted to a spectacle of a painfully interesting and gravely historical import. One of the most splendid abodes of our almost regal aristocracy has thrown open its portals to an endless succession of visitors, who from morning to night have flowed in an interrupted stream from room to room, and floor to floor-not to enjoy the hospitality of the lord, or to congratulate him on his countless treasures of art, but to see an ancient family ruined, their palace marked for destruction, and its contents scattered to the four winds of Heaven. We are only saying what is notorious, and what therefore it is neither a novelty nor a cruelty to repeat, that the most noble and Puissant Prince, his Grace the Duke of Buckingham and Chandos, is at this moment an abso- lutely ruined and destitute man. The last crash of this mighty ruin is that which now sounds. Stowe is no more. This morning the tumultuous invasion of sight-seers will once again be endured, and to- morrow the auctioneer will begin his work. As every thoughtful spectator has spoken to the pe- culiar and most lamentable character of the scene, one may be permitted to dwell for a while upon circum- stances of such rare occurrence and indelible recollec- tion. Under the lofty arch which crowns the long avenue from Buckingham, and opens the first view of the magnificent Palladian facade, has lately passed a daily cavalcade which, except in its utter absence of style, might remind one of the road to Epsom on a Derby day. Barouches, flys, stage-coaches, busses" pressed from the metropolitan service, and every grada- tion of trap" down to the carrier's cart hastily emptied of groceries, dragged to Wolverton, and filled with the unfortunate holders of return tickets to town, constituted a dreary antithesis to the cortege which so lately brought Royalty to Stowe. An elaborately cir- cuitous road conducted the impatient visitors to the park front, before which, in the vast amphitheatre formed by its side colonnades, so often the scene of rural festi- vities, the enemy encamped. One might imagine a great county picnic had suddenly gathered at Stowe. Even stalls were there. From the branch of a noble beech hung a huge pair of scales on which venison was weighed. An advertisement posted on the front door particularized the very moderate prices at which a buck, a half, or a quarter might be obtained. In the distance were fallen trees, timber waggons, and extempore saw- pits. The enormous edifice was a human hive. Every window showed the crowd within passing to and fro. The house was well set out for the distinguished visi- tors. The bride was dressed for the altar, the victim for the sacrifice. No thrifty coverings, no ghostly brown holland, no neat patterned chintzes were there. King Mob had it all of the best,—the richest damask furni- ture and the newest state hangings; only, as that personage rode literally roughshod through the palace, and brought with him cartloads of gravel, there was just an attempt to save the carpets from excessive trituration. In the state dining-room were set out 60,000 oz. of gold and silver plate ;-one was involun- tarily reminded of the weight, for the scales were at work there also, and men were weighing and noting down lot after lot. On a table 20 yards long and on a dozen sideboards stood forests of vases, candelabra, epergnes, groups, goblets, tankards, and every other form and variety of plate, from the elaborate designs of Italian artists to the simple elegance of the old English school, and the pretentious richness of the last genera- tion. Among fifty other pieces of historic value, the gifts of Royal personages and distinguished men, stood a vase, formed from snuff-boxes presented by the cities and corporations in Ireland in 1779, the mace of the old corporation of Buckingham, purchased by the Buckingham Conservatives and presented to the Duke as an everlasting possession and the Chandos Tes- timonial, for which the gentry and yeomanry of the county lately subscribed, we believe, £ 1,500. In all the other rooms it was the same. The Duke of Buckingham is the representative, not of one, but of many families. It is a mighty wreck of ages that has been accumulated in this place, swollen indeed, and somewhat overwhelmed, by recent additions, but still full of historical, national, and poetical associ- ations. And everything is to be sold. The fatal ticket is everywhere seen. The portrait of Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk, the first founder of the family, by Hol- bein, is now lot 51, in the 21st day's sale. That every other ancestor should go to the hammer, whether by Van Dyk, or Lely, or Kneller, or Gainsborough, or Rey- nolds, follows of course. But there is one item of which no reparation can remove the shock. The Chandos family is descended from Frances Brandon, eldest daughter of the above Charles Brandon, by Mary, daughter of Henry VII., and Queen Dowager of France. Some time since certain savages or dilettanti at Bury exhumed that Mary Brandon from her grave and took from her head a lock of silken hair, which thus con- stitutes a visible link between the present Duke of Buckingham and the throne of these realms, to which he has a reversionary claim. That lock of silken hair, in its glass case, is now to be sold to the highest bidder. What can we say more to show the extent of the devastation ? After this it is idle to mention that the Temple of Friendship is rifled of its illustrious tenants, and they are all to be sold. We repeat that everything goes. In two months' time there will not remain in that vast house one pewter spoon, one cracked cup, or spoutless teapot, to give a last vestige of hospitality to the last vestige of the ducal interest in Birminghamshire. It is a most deplorable, and we must now add a most disgraceful event. On this point the truth shall be spoken. These columns have spared neither people nor prince. We have recently had to pronounce the judgment of public opinion, and to call for the ven- geance of the laws upon the rash men who have per- verted the first gushes of youthful genius and the rude instincts of popular freedom to an impious rebellion. We have been forced to do so, and we have done so not without a pang. Should we deal fairly if we spared the destroyer of his house, the man whose reckless course has thrown to the ground a pillar of the state, and struck a heavy blow at the whole order to which he un- fortunately belongs ? The public opinion of this coun- try respects the House of Lords, but not a degenerate aristocracy. It is apt to canvass and to censure noble names, because it measures their ill deeds with their great responsibility. The Duke of Buckingham has filled all minds with the painful presage of a wider ruin. Such events speak in these days. When dynasties are falling around, and aristocracies have crumbled into dust, disgrace acquires the force of injury, and personal ruin is a public treason. For an event of peace we have known nothing more serious and lamentable. This has not been in war or revolution. It is not a pillage by force of arms or revolutionary dogmas. In the midst of fertile lands and an industrious people, in the heart of a country where it is thought virtuous to work, to save, and to thrive, a man of the highest rank, and of a property not unequal to his title, has flung all away by extravagance and folly, and reduced his honours to the tinsel of a pauper and the baubles of a fool. Were it only weakness, that might ask our contempt. But there is more than weakness here. It is notorious that the Duke, by the use of a passionate and overpow- ering persuasion, has induced his amiable son, now in his twenty-fifth year, to cut off the entail of all the pro- perty in which his Grace was interested. If the ruinous compliance was yielded to representations which sub sequenily proved to be incorrect,—if the Duke urged the step only as a formal act, which he would soon set right by re-settling the estates, we will gladly concede to him the excuse of utter ignorance or frenzied desperation. Let it be that he did not know what lie was about. The world, however, will view the act as a whole. The world has a certain opinion of the son who ruins his father, and it will not have a more favourable opinion of the father who has ruined his son, or rather both his chil- dren. This is not the place to discuss the general ques- tion of entail, or to inquire whether public benefits may not spring from a private ruin. That may or may not be; but it is beyond our present thoughts. A particular act, the act of a public man, an hereditary ruler, and the conservator of a noble house, is what we are now called upon to review. The Duke of Buckingham has per- suaded his son to sign away his birthright, and to divide it among creditors who had no sort of claim upon the son's reversion, whatever they might have upon the father's interest. There are doubtless circumstances in which it is reasonable that the son should cut off an entail. In the present case there was neither reason nor excuse. A ducal house is overthrown to atone for one man's wilful folly, and to give expensive tradesmen and extortionate money-lenders better security than they contemplated when first they sold their goods and lent their money.

MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE.
MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE. Prince Albert has consented to lay the foundation stone of the new docks at Grimsby in October next. Lord Clarendon," says the Independent, derives his descent from Oliver Cromwell through his mother, Theresa Parker, who was the great-great-grand- daughter of Frances Cromwell, the Protector's youngest child."—We wonder the Irish papers have never noticed this before, so as to give new point to the dislike of the Cromwellians. As the best writers are the most candid judges of the writings of others, so the best livers are the most charitable in the judgments they form of their neigh- bours' actions. The population of ancient Syracuse was equal to that of Paris. Now there are not 100 inhabitants, and not a ship in the port. Persons apparently killed by lightning have been restored by promptly immersing them in cold water, or by dashing water upon the body. Free evening schools for adults have been established near Smithfield with success, having been patronised by the majority of the bishops, the clergy, and the nobility resident in London. At a vegetarian banquet in Manchester, about 200 being present. Mr. Brotherton, M.P., presided, and said,—" I, from long experience, have a complete con- viction in my own mind, that a vegetable diet is favour- able to life, to humanity, and to happiness." The steam-ships of the various railway companies using them" says the Railway Chronicle, will soon form a fleet unequalled for their power and speed. Letters from Lyons state that there is great agitation and excitement there in consequence of the immense number of workmen still unoccupied. Trade is so dull, that silks which in January last were sold at nine francs per metre do not find purchasers now at four francs. There are now casting at the Coed Talon Ironworks, near Mold, some of the largest girders for railways which have ever been made in North Wales. These girders are nearly fifty-three feet long, and weigh about eleven tons each. We understand their destination is- London. The correspondent of the Times gives the following dialogue: time, the Piedmontese vacating Cremona place, an hotel. A young dragoon officer asked for something to eat. I What exclaims the waiter, ask to eat at this hour? You must wait till the others come.' 'But I am dying with hunger!' A great many men died of hunger yesterday.' At the present moment there are no fewer than twelve extensive factories in Glasgow, capable, when in operation, of affording employment to about 3,000 people, standing idle, and of these from eight to ten have done nothing for the last nine months. There have, during the past week, been serious dis- turbances at Doncaster between the English and Irish labourers. The new Roman Catholic church at Manchester was opened on Wednesday week. Eight bishops and about two hundred clergy took part in the services, which were most imposing. The sermon was preached by Dr. Wiseman. The clergy and a large number of ladies and gentlemen afterwards partook of a cold collation at the Town-hall. The ancient registers of the church and parish of Arcley Kings, near Stourport, have just been discovered, after being lost for many years. They are from 1539 to 1703. On Friday afternoon, a chimpanzee effected its escape from one of the caravans of Mr. Wombwell's collection. of animals on the Qucensferry-road. Edinburgh, near the show-ground of the Highland Society. The animal ran towards the city for some distance, followed in full cry by the large crowd which had been collected, till it leaped over the wall unto a field of grain. Some of the keepers followed in quick pursuit, and after an amusing and animated chase, it was at length captured, and safely lodged in the menagerie. Within the last six months 5,000 individuals have been banished from Madrid to Cuba, Ceuta, and the Phillippine and Zaffarine Islands. Out of these about 4,000 belong to the lower orders, and the rest to the middle and upper classes of society. It is calculated that only 2,000 were guilty of political crimes, so that 3,000 innocent persons have been torn from their homes for differing with Narvaez upon the best mode of governing the country. A respectable widow lady, named Corbett, residing near Stratford-on-Avon, died on Monday, after being four days in a delirious state, in consequence of her two sons, both under ten years of age, having, without her knowing where they were, stayed at their uncle's all night. A barrister entered one of the Four Courts, Dublin, with his wig so much awry as to cause a general titter. Seeing Curran smile, he said, Do you see anything ridiculous in my wig ?" "No," replied Curran; "no- thing but your head." A gentleman left Dublin a few days ago, for Liverpool, by the new government steamer Banshee, built for the Holyhead station, and the passage, a distance of 138 statute miles, was performed in seven hours and five minutes! He then stepped into the express vrain, and was in Gloucester 13 hours after leaving the Irish capital. DISCOVERY OF COAL AT PARKGATE.—Some few months back, a very valuable discovery of coal was made on the property of the Hon. Mr. Mostyn, in this loca- lity, and rich veins were ascertained to exist, but there was some doubt as to the extent of them. With the view of ascertaining this fact, further operations were carried on, which have just been completed, and the result proves that the field of coal is of vast extent and richness. THE CAPTOR OF SMITH O'BRIEN.—It may interest our readers to know, that William Hulme, the railway- guard who arrested Mr. O'Brien on Saturday last, was formerly in the B division of the Manchester police. He left the force about two years since, and was then employed as a porter at the Victoria Railway Station. From thence he obtained a preferment to the situation he recently held. When in Manchester, he was considered a very respectable and industrious character. -.I,laia- chester Guardian. THE LONG VACATION.—On Thursday the long vaca- tion commenced.

EXTRAORDINARY PHENOMENON.—In the forenoon of Monday last, about eleven o'clock, the passengers in the railway train to Metliley were attracted by an ex- traordinary circumstance so extraordinary, indeed, that the engine-driver pulled up. The attention of the passengers was directed to a mown field. Towards the centre of this piece of ground, a gush of water burst out to the height of about twelve inches. Immediately after- wards, it was followed by fire and vapour, to the height of about three feet. This extraordinary circumstance occurred about a mile from Methley. Doncaster Gazette. THE SEA SERPENT.—Capt. Samuel Thomas, of the schooner Elizabeth, S. D. Leiper, from Boston for Chester, Pennsylvania, reports that, on Friday, between three and four o'clock, he discovered a huge snake, which appeared to be about one hundred and fifty feet long, as near as he could judge, swimming slowly along a short distance fr(iiii his vessel. The ocean was per- fectly calm at the time, and nearly thewhole length of the animal could be plainly seen. The hands on board the vessel concur in the statement of the captain, all of them having seen the serpent for some time without the aid of a glass. The head was as large as a fifteen- gallon cask, and the body about the size of a common flour barrel in circumference. It was black, and dis- tinctly seen for the space of half an hour. ANKCDOTE OF THE INSURRECTION.—At the barricade of the Place Maubert, in Paris, a young Garde Mobile boldly mounted, amidst a shower of balls, to seize a flag. At the moment he put his hand on the trophy an insurgent presented his musket at him, and was on the point, of firing, when the boy exclaimed, Tush your piece is not loaded." The insurgent mechanically moved his musket to assure himself of the fact, and in an instant the boy shot him dead, and descended with his flag. What fools these fellows are," said he to an ofifcer, who embraced him with emthusiasm they don't even know what they are about." This boy was between fifteen and sixteen years of age, and was deco- rated by General Cavaiainac. During the fighting he received balls in four different places and was otherwise wounded. AGRICULTURAL REPARTEE.—-A farmer in the West recently meeting a certain agricultural chemist, took occasion to sneer at the advantages of science to agri- culture. I am told sir," said the farmer, you said you can carry enough manure in your coat pocket for an acre of ground." Mr. bowed assent. And," continued the farmer, we farmers, I suppose, may bring home the produce in our waistcoat pockets." Perfectly correct, sir," was the reply, for although the proximate produce be turnips, yet the ultimate produce is gold, with which precious metal I shall be most happy, if you will permit me, to fill your capacious waistcoat pockets every market day."
