I -MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE.
I MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE. There has been a great gathering" in the connty of Mar, which the Queen and Royal party visited, and enjoyed amazingly." Such a piping of bagpipes never was heard." The usual athletic sports took place. The Court of Common Council have been debating about the amount of salary to be given to their future Recorder of London, and, after a tough discussion, have decided for E3,000 a-year, the minority voting for £ 2,500. The Health of the metropolis is at about the usual annual average; the births greatly preponderating over the deaths. A very fatal accident on the Eastern Counties Railivar has added to the general mortality, ten un- happy labourers having been run over and killed on the spot. Mr. Gorhara has read himself into his pastoral duties and was exceedingly cautious and judicious in his pro- ceedings, Riving no cause of offence, but asserting his theological opinions fully and earnestly^ He was well rpceived by a crowded congregation, who came from far and near to hear him. After unusual delay. Cambridge University has found another candidate—Mr. Loftus Wigram, Q.C., a gentle- man who seems to possess considerable powers of de- fending & upholding every exploded prejudice in politics and religion denouilJR further toleration, Free-trade, and, in fact, pretty well the whole of the legislation of this century. A fire in the city of London has destroyed property valued at £100,000. Nearly all of this might have been saved, accordins to Mr. Braidwood, the superin- tendent of the Fire-Brigade, if the firemen could have been supplied with water. As it was, the flames roared fiercely for hours before any effectual supply could be procured. has absconded A young femai(-, resident in Wake a has absconded with her own sister's husband—the ??r of a family. The latter, who is named Dibh, under ^|tiseof a re- ligion, ingratiated himself into the good ^^Bon of his | new relations. They are gone to Aijer iW Penny omnibuses have comm running between the South Eastern Railway and tiro^ k, London. j The road between Greenwich h has been covered with millions and millions of les, similar j to the flight of locusts. At the usual sitting of the boara of guardian* of the Havant Union (Hants) last week. there was not a sin- gle applicant for out-door relief, a circumstance per- fectly unique in the history of the union. ) Baron Rothschild has written to the daily papers, en- closing a copy of the note by which the Austrian mar- shal was introduced to vic-iv Barclay's brewhouse. It was a mere business note fro." nianaging partner, and requested that Nlars! jai ] nAau and his friends" miifht be permitted to vi et;lablishment. The soi-disatit member for th indirectly given testimony as to the gcne ^|R ne 0 eling in the city on tliis water-s7 d e gdeenrmne 6 6# n! 0 eling in the city on this water-side demembration, and has virtually re- nounced the friendship St the illustrious flogger and ban,ger. Vote for thefFriend of Haynau" would not have been a popular pjtcard at the next election for the eity of London [ The event of .week that bas probably engaged most attention been the Doncaster race; for those not interested, eiÙllfr pecuniarily or otherwise, have a word to say againWit, though very few appear in public resorts who agree with the Doncaster parson in desirin to have it abolished. The railroads deposited half the male population on the course, at least all having the least pretensions to be betting men. The race appears j to have been a genuine one, and a dead heat with such a horse as Voltigeur is a remarkable thing. It can hardly be said the knowing ones were taken in this -time, for they never flinched from Voltigeur; but they were very near being so, and were run to a stand. He. however, won the deciding race only by half a length. The Pastoral letter embodying the decisions of the Synod of Thurles has been officially issued, and by it we find that the heads of the Irish Catholic Church de- nounce the colleges appointed by the lawful Government of the country as an evil of a formidable kind, against which it is our imperative duty to warn you, with all the energy of our zeal, and all the weight of our autho- rity." There are certain ecclesiastics, like the Bour- bons, who never learn anything and never forget any- thing. The age of faggots, thank Heaven, however, is gone for ever, lamented though it may be by these ecclesiastical Burkes. Turning to another part of Ire- I 0 it is a rtliei to nnd a large minded statesman en- thusiastically greeted by a flourishing and intelligent j'population. Some, difference of opinion exists as to j Tenant-right, but the Lord Lieutenant did ample justice to the industry, intelligence, and to the consequent in- crE-asing prosperity of the north of Ireland. I A frightful explosion of fireworks has taken place in Spitalftelds, by which many houses and much properly have been destroyed, besides one death, and severe in- juries. Occurrences of this lamentable kind force upon one's attention the absurdity of much of our legisla- i ion. A man may be torn from his family by a press- gang, or for a trifling assault, or. as we have lately seen, for taking his own carpet bag from a railway; but a dangerous and useless trade, like that of a firework- maker, is permitted to be carried on in the midst of a crowded neighbourhood. The law, we are told here, cannot interfere with private property and so private property and private life is blown up and blown down to ten times the extent of that which is to be so sa- crediv conserved. When shall we get to common sense in common legislation ? Ought not the magistrates to have the power of removing all dangerous and noxious trades to remote and unfrequented, or else to well- adapted, places ? When the disease was raging in Glasgow, last vc-ar a large firm in that city were informed that a clerk had died of cholera, and had been speedily buried. It was afterwards found that the deceased clerk had largely robbed the establishment. Property he had left was appropriated to meet the defalcations, but still there was a large balance of loss. There is reason now to believe that the statement of the death and burial was all false. The clerk had been a teacher to two sons of a partner of the firm, and he attended the same chtireli. On Sunday se'nnight, a man appeared in that church with lare whiskers and a moustache; the boys eyed him eagerly, and at last felt sure that they recognized the dead clerk the stranger became uneasy, departed in the middle of the service, and has not been since seen. Sir Lancelot S'nadwell acquired his ruddy fresh look from a cold bath in a creek in the Thames every morn- ing, near which his unfortunate son was drowned last December. One day a solicitor and barrister arrived during the vacation to pray an injunction, and were told that if they wanted to see Sir Lancelot, they must follow hi in to the river side. Thither they at once repaired, and espied the V.C.E. in pur is naturalibus, on the bank. On seeing them he plunged into the water, and swam about while the barrister sntemrjy stated to him the case from the bank. Having satisfied his mind by one or two questions, he took a short dive, and when he returned, spu!tering out water to the surface, exclaimed—" That'll do, take an interim order." The railway excursions projected to take place in all parts of the kingdom are unprecedented. Nearly everv railway company has projected pleasure trips for the middle and working classes, and the result has been to create a comparatively new species of traffic. The Great Western Railway have taken a prominent part, and have, in addition to their weekly excursions to Windsor, run heavily-laden trains in and out of London, &c„ to and from Oxford, Bath, Bristol, and other places on their route, at what is termed one fare, or in other words, half the usual fare, there and back. The trains that ieft Paddington for Bristol, Bath, and Oxford, took 2,.500 persons, and returning 2,300. Local trains be- twpen Cirencester and Bath conveyed 1,000 persons, and between Bath and Bristol 4,000 The London and North Western Railway have projected pleasure trips to the Royal Eisteddfod, and a wholesale autumn ex- cursion from the north to London. The London and South Western and Brighton announce excursions to the various bathing-places on their route the South Eastern, a 30s. trip to Paris, and eight days' sojourn on the Rhine the Great Northern, a cheap through trip to York, Leeds, Hull, and those districts; and the Lan- cashire and Yorkshire between the manufacturing dis- tricts and the riding on every Saturday. The new sys- tem of excursions is now, indeed, so generally adopted, that there are very few towns in the kingdom where the inhabitants may not, on economical terms, reciprocate pleasure visits. About 200 excursionists left Salisbury I on Monday week for Brighton, where they were enabled to stay for about six hours. An excursion train from Brighton brought about 700 visitors into Salisbury on the same day. The inauguration of the coronation stone of the Anglo- Saxon Kings at Kingston-on Thames took place on Thursday, in the presence of the mayor and corporation, attended by the burgesses and a numerous assembly of visitors. According to Speed, the historian, nine of our Saxon monarchs were crowned in Kingstown, the stone being used as the royal seat during the ceremony. It now stands in the eeiitre of an open space near the Savings Bank, and directly opposite the High-street, at the turning of the Portsmouth-load. It is placed on an bpptaeonal pedestal of granite, which stands on a cir- cular base of the same material. It being uncertain whether two of the kings mentioned bv Speed were crowned at Kingston, the corporation haie selected the following seven, whose names, with the dates of their respective coronations, are inscribed on the faces of the pedestal — viz Athlesiane, A D. 924 Edward. AD 940; Edred, A.n 916: Edgar, A.r>. 9-59; Edward II., A.D. | 97o Etlielred II., A.D. 978; and Edmund 11, A.D. 1016. The monument if encompassed ,h iron railings, having a pilhr fini«hp.i with pin rifle# at each of the f\ng1. Mr. Maude, the police magistrate at Manchester, has decided that no person can sell British wines but li- censed victuallers; and be has fined a confectioner to for doing so. An old woman, who had been receiving relief from the parish of Calne, Wilts, for upwards of forty years recently died, and it has been discovered that she had hoarded up £ o75. Tiie French treasury will profit by the death of Louis Philippe, the duties to be paid by his family on succeed- ing to his real and personal property beina not less than the enormous sum of 9,500,000 francs ( £ 380,000). It is said that Turner, the eminent painter, who is reported for the vacant chairmanship of the Royal Academy, has realised not less than E500,000 by his brush. The Church atid State Gazette tells an anecdote of j the Hon. and Rev. Mr. Spencer, now" Father Isrnatius": —" Habited in the fiarb of the Passionist Order, bare. headed and barefocted, he applied to a cabman in the Strand to carry him to Buckingham Palace, to see his sister Lady Lytte!ton. The cabman, tookin? kmwinK?y at the r?v. ?ent?eman. repHed. 'No, no; poor felloty What asylum have you made your escape from ?—and declined accepting his fare though offcred in advance." A bazaar has been held at Worcester last week in aid of the fund for improtiug one of the principal entrances J into the eitv. The receipts of three day's amounted to between fCOO and £ 700. M. Lamartine, the distinguished French orator, poet, | and statesman, arrived in London on F iday, and has taken up his residence in the neighbollrhood of Hyde Park. Mr. R.

The Protection Association of Lymington have for- warded an address to Mr. Mackinnon, their representa- tive, in which they inform the hon entleman that be does not possess their confidence, and that they win oppose his re-election at any future period, in conse- quence of his uniform support of the free-trade policy The Observatory at Liverpool is about to be furnished with a new and improved anenometer, an instrument for measui ing the force of lie wind, at a coast ofjE:200 The French contract for 6,300 tons of coal. equal to Cardiff or Newcastle, was adjudicated on Wednesday, generally in favour of English coals.

An address just issued from the head-quarters of the Morm0n, at Great Sail Lake City, concludes thus :— Push the Saints to Zion, and persuade all good bre- ttiren to co-ne, %vho i,ave a wheel t), r rovr, a.,id fai,,h enough to roll it over the mountains." It may safely be said that no nation boasts its own virtues so loudly as the English, and none have done so little for the instruction of the people and the improve- ment of the laws—the first duty of every eiyilised state. —Lord Brougham. People have often wondered what the word Mormon t. It is easily explained Mormo or Mormon, is theGreek for humbug, or hobgoblin, and paraphrasticaily for delusion or counterfeit. Little did that crafty impostor, Joe Smith, with all his craftiness, suspect the close-fitting cap he was making for his newly-concocted imposture, when he aave his statute book the name of the Book of Mormon," literally, the book of humbug. The Protectionists of Surrey have opened a public subscription, to present Mr. Paul Foskett with a testi- monial of their gratitude for his efforts to promote the cause of protection to native industry Earl Sianhope has contributed E25, Mr. G. F. Young, and Mr. Fresh- field £10 each. When the works now in progress are completed, Edinburgh will be supplied with 1,376 gallons of water per minute. In 1842 the supply from all sources was only 560 gallons per minute, so that it has been, or will be nearly trebled. The Earl of Stamford had a shooting party at his seat in Staffordshire, on Saturday last, the result of the day's sport being as f,)Ilows Earl of Stamford killed 146 partridges, 10 hares, and 6 rabbits E. L. Gatacre, Esq., 146 partridges, and 1 rabbit; th- rIon. S. Lyttel- ton, and H. W.' Foley, E&q., (who formed a second party,) 157 partridges, 11 hares, and 5 rabbits making a total of 419 partridges, harp-t, arid 12 rabbits. | The shooting did not commence till eleven o'clock. t A correspondent of the Times states, that in order to test edible mushrooms, a gold ring, or any other piece of gold, should be rubbed on the skin of the fungus. If the bruise turns yellow or orange colour, the mushroom is poisonous; if otherwise, is it quite safe. The Liverpool Chronicle says that rumours prevail at B iston that Sir Josh ua Wainisley has accepted office under the Government, which would render necessary his election for that town. In Burke's Anecdotes of the Aristocracy," it is sta- ted that among the lineal descendants of Edmund of Woodstock, Earl of Kent, sixth son of Edward I King of England, entitled to quarter the royal arms, are Mr. Joseph Smart, of Halesowen, butcher, arid Mr. George Wilmot, keeper of the turnpike-gate at Cooper's Bank, near Dudley. The Penrith Angung Association having been iD- formed that Lord Brougham, with a number of men in his employment, had been seen fishing in their preserves with an illegal net, some members of the association resolved to lie in wait for him. The scene of the ambush was on the estate of Sir G. Musgrave, and one of that gentleman's gamekeepers was on the ambuscade. As soon as Lord Brougham and his party commenced, operations, a rush was made to seize their net. A despe- rate affray ensued, in which Lord Brougham is desci ibeu by the historian, as shouting and using threats of a most serious characttr" After a fierce contest, each party left the watery field, carrying with them half a net in triumph. The Broughamites have laid itifoima- lions, and obtained summonses for assaults and the association have done the like for using an illegal net. Two Arbroath innocents met in London, aid each being in want of a castor, they forthwith entered a dash- ing shop in the West End, with a liew to supplying themselves.

As an instance of the boundless enthusiasm exci'pd by Madame Rossi (then Mademoiselle Sontagj some twenty years since in Berlin, it may be mentioned that one of her shoes, procured by bribery from a treacherous wait- j ing-maid, served as a drinking cup, on festive occasion, to a clut) of ofifcers, sj long as it lasted; an half fi- nished glass of wine, captured by a body of students who forced their way into the room she had just left, was ac- tually put up to auction and bought by one of them for seventeen dollars. DEATH OF LORD WIU.IAM CLINTON.— Lord I Clinton, who has been for a short time attached to the British Museum in Athens, having imprudently started on a tonr in the interior during the very great heats, returned on Monday last, dangerously ill. In forty- eight hours he was a corpse. It was evident from the first that he could not recover, the fever having been raging within him for several days, and without the means of obtaining any medical assistance. He was fol- lowell to the the grav-e by the diplomatic body, the En- glish mission, and the Etiizlish residents. His lordship was the fourth son of the Duke of Newcastle, and was born on the 12th of January 1815. JJKATH OF THE RIGHT KEY. D-. STOPFORD.— We I have to announce the death of the Right Rev. Dr. Staf- ford, Lord Bishop of Meath. The lamented event took place suddenly, at his lordship's seat, Ardbraccan. in the county of Meath, about ten o'clock on Wednesday night, with very little previous iiiness. The deceased prelate was elevated from the Archdeaconry of Armagh to the sre of Meath during the viceroyalty of the Earl De Grey Dr. Stopford had been for some time lahouring under a disease of the heart, but recently, considering his lord- ship's advanced period of life, he had been in the enjoy- ment of pretty good health. His lordship was a member of the Privy Council in Ireland. DETECTION OF A SMUGGLING MANCEUVRF..—ON FridayeHning as the Enterprise steamer, which plies between Rotterdam, Ipswich, and Yarmouth, was eii- tering the latter harbour, she ran against ?'cp?r. and carried away part of the won?ork ot the paddle- box, discovering to the astonished Custom House ofher about 160 lb. of manufactured tobacco dangling do,n among the paddle-work machinery in such a position as no mortal would hare nu dared to se^reh.

GOVERNMENT OF THB CHLUCH.—Lord Lyttelton has adilressed a letter to the Spectator, in which the noble lord says he agrees witii nearly all the remarks of that journal upon his letter respecting the Church; but he is of opinion that a Church legislature should be composed of laity as well as clergy. There ought," he says, probably to be a difference between the com- I position of the legislative and judicial organs of the Church, if she become possessed of self-government," hot he does not wish to indicate the type of 6uch a legis- lature or eebeine of government without further dis- cussion and inquiry. I am disposed," the noble lord concludes, to think that the constitution of the Ameri- can Church might furnish a good general model." THE LATE GLOUCESTER MUSICAL FESTIVAL.—The collection made at the late festival on behalf of the charity was the largest ever known at Gloucester. The following shows the amount collected for the charity at these festivals for the last 20 years :-In 1831, at Here- forn, E634 4s. 1 Od.; in 1832, at Gloucester, £ 804 1 Is. 8d.; in 1833, at Worcester, £ 981 18s. 7d., 1834, at Here- ford, JE:676 lis.; in 1835. at Gloucester, E660 Ila. 10d.; in 1836, at Worce¡;\er £828 6s.; in 1837. at Hereford, £ 818 Is. 2d.; in 183. at Gloucester, f704 16s. 5.; in 1S39, at Worcester, £ 950 3s. 6d. in 1840. at Here. ford, £ 1,061 2s.

DISTRESSING CASE OF TRIPLE BIKTH.—The wife of a poor man, named Eagles, a coachman, residing in Cumbprland-mews-noi th, Bryanstone-sq uare, presented her husband on Friday evening last, with three boys, all strong and healthy. We are sorry to say that the fa- ther, having been out of employment for the last 14 weeks, with a family of three young children previously, and a sick wife, is quite unable to procure them the necessaries of life. COMPLETION OF THE BRITANNIA BRIDGE.—MENAI STRAITS, FRIDAY, SEPT. i 3,-After some years of un- remitting labour, the engineers connected with this great work safely lowered the last" of the Britannia tubes to its permanent resting place to-day. The Car- narvonshire end of the tube was lowered three feet, the opposite end being joined on to the Anglesea large tube in the interior of the lower on the Britannia-rock, and, obedient to the law of the novel operation, the centres of both tubes, as before, were raised up several inches. The Government officer will be down on an early day to inspect the entire structure preparatory to its permanent opening. Nothing beyond a mere fractional deflection has been observed to take place in the tube that haa been opened since March, and which has been subjected to the constant transit of heavy trains and .'raffic. Some curious accoustic effects have been obsened. Pistol- shots, or any sonorous noises, are echoed within the tube half a dozen times. The cells of the top and bot- tom are used by the engineers as speaking tubes, and they can carry on conversations through them in whis- pers by elevating the voice persons may converse through the length of the bridge-Tlearly a quarter of a mile. The following (not hitherto published) is an offi- cial return of the cost of the entire structure :—Pedea- tals and abutments on Carnarvon side, £ 17,4f 9; Car- narvon-tower, £ 28,626 Anglesey-tower, £ 31,430 pedestals and abutments Oil Anglesey side, E40,470 lions, £ 2,048 total, £158,704. Wrought iron used in tubes, 1118,946; cast iron in tubes and towers, £ 30,619; construction of tubes, £226,234; pontoons, ropes, capstans, painting mate- rials, £ 28,096; raising machinery, £ 9.782; carpentry and labour in floating, raising, and completing bridge, £ 25,498; experiments, £ 3,986; total, £ 601,865. The total weight of each of the wrought iron roadways now completed represents f 12,000 tons, supported on a total mass of masonry of a million and a half cubic feet, erected at the rate of three feet in a minute. IRON FOR SHIPBUILDING.—In building a flrst-clasa oak ship of 500 tons burthen, 700 tons in the rough of timber are required. This timber occupied twelve acre* of land at least seventy-five years, and is worth £1,200 as raw material. The hull when finished, will be worth L6,000, the value of the raw material being one-fifth, or f 1.200, and the labour and profit, 1:4,800. The value of the raw material of an iron ship of the same size would be about £-50, being the royalty, cost of raising,, and transit of the ores and the hull, when finished, would be worth E6,000, the raw material being thua riot more than one half-per cent. The oak vessel on the average, would not last more than fifteen years, and in that time would cost £ 1,500 for repairs, at a very moderate computation, and, when sold for old timber, would realize £ 250, leaving £ 7,250 to be divided over fifteen years, or f473 the annual cost, besides interest and capital. The iron vessel may fairly be computed to last twenty years, requiring LIOO fur repairs, making £ ( ,000 the old vessel when broken up, would be worth £ 600, giving £ 6,400 for twenty years, or E320 per annum for the iron ship, exclusive of interest and capital. Thus the cost, of an oak, as compared with an iron vessel, is as £ 473 to £ 320. But an iron vessel of 500 tons would carry 100 tons more than an oak one, and run six miles for the oak's five-and-a-half miles; also, in the time occupied in repairs, the iron ship would not be detained more than two weeks in the year' while tor the wooden vessel, one month in each year would be required. By these advantages the sum of 40s., the cost of carrying by an oak vessel, would be reduced to 22s. 6 J. by an iron one.—Mining Journal. THE SANDHURST EXAMINATIONS.— Aspirant# for enrolment in Her Majesty's Armies as Officeis of Regi- ments, will doubtless agree with the LAST MAN 1M IOWN" in the Weekly Xews, who complainingly says "To add to my dolor, a favourite nephew bas been plucked At Sandhurst, because he did not know ti,.e parts r)f speeri) i)f cy git He was to have been appointed to I!,e 10th Hussars, but he fails in his first examination, and issent back with leave to go up again in a couple of months. I ermit me here to record my solemn protest aga.nst the new system of military examination. It ia altogether a farce. It engenders a species of cram- miug which ouly creates a distaste for subsequent study. It is deceptive, unjust, inefficacious. Let me not be misundeistood. I am no enemy to all army edu- cation. The more accomplished our officers are reu- derea, the better for the national interests, the better for the character of the army. But. to ensure accom- plishment, the examinations should surely he of a nature to compel young men to go to their books betimes. How can their competency be determined by the present eye- tein ? Thirty-five youngsters go up on a given day to be tested by the Sandhurst Professors. Th;-examination begins at ten in the morning, and lasts until four or five in the afternoon—say that seven hours ar. devoted in the labour. Now as each candidate for military rank is examined in English Writing and Orthography, Arith- metic, History, Ancient and Modern Geography, Field Fortifications, and French or German, (if he does not happen to be a dab at hie, hcec, hoc.) it follows that only a few minutes can be devoted to t'ue examination of the whnle of the gentlemen in any one science. There are seven hours, and seven sciences—ar.d thirty-fi.e candi- dates-et-o, each candidate is up for exactly "twelve minutes to be probed in each science, allowing no time whatever to the Professors for a little relaxation Is this enough ?
