To be excitable or nervous in a small degree if most distressing, for where can a remedy be found ? Here is one :-Drink but little wine, beer, or spirits, or far better, abstain from them altogether do not take coffee-weak tea is preferable get all the fresh air you can take three or four of the Pills every night; eat plenty of solids, and avoid the use of slops If these golden rules are followed, you will be happy in mind, strong in body, and forget you huve any nerves. MOTHERS AND DAUGHTERS. If there is one thing more than another for which these Pills are so famous it is their purifying properties, especially their power of cleansing the blood from all impurities, and removing dangerous, and renewing suspended secretions. Universally adopted as the one grand remedy for female complaints, these Pills never fail, never weaken the system, and always bring about what is required. DISORDERS OF THE KIDNEYS. In all diseases affecting these organs whether they secrete too much or too little water; or whether they be afflicted with stone or gravel, or with aches and pains settled in the loins over the region of the kidneys, these Pills should be taken according to the printed directions, and the Ointment should be well rubbed into the small of the back at bed time. This treatment will give almost immediate relief after all other means have failed. THE STOMACH OUT OF ORDER. No medioine will so effectually improve the tone of the stomaoh as these Pills; they rembve all acidity, ocea- sioned either by intemperance or improper diet. They reach the liver, and reduce it to a healthy action they are wonderfully efficacious in cases of spasm-in fact they never fail in curing all disorders of the liver and sto- mach. BRONCHITIS, DIPTHERIA, COUGHS AND COLDS. No diseases are more frequent, few more dangerous, than affections of the respiratory organs. The first symptoms of disordered action may always be removed by Holloway's renowned Pills. They quickly remedy any temporary stag- nation of blood, relieve any overgorged veins, moderate the hur ried breathing, and enable the windpipe and lungs to perform their functions with ease and regularity. These rills, by their purifying powers, cleanse the blood from all impurities, and thus fortify the system against consumption, asthma, and other pulmonary complaints. DEBILITATED CONSTITUTIONS. In cases of debility, langour, and nervousness, generated excess of any kind, whether mental or physical, the effect o these Pille is in the highest degree bracing, renovating and restorative. They drive from the system the morbid cause of disease, re-establish the digestion, regulate all the secretions, brace the nervous Bystem, raise the patient's spirits, and bring back the frame to its pristine health and vigour. BILIOUSNESS, LOSS OF APPETITE, HEADACHE, AND LOWNESS OF SPIRITS. These Pills effect a truly wonderful change in debilitated constitutions as they create a healthy appetite, correct indi- gestion, remove excess of bile, and overcome gUdiness, bead- ache, and palpitation of the heart. Holloway's Pills are the best remedy known in the world for the following -Diseases:- Ague Dysentery Liver Com- Secondary Asthma Erysipelas plaints Symptoms BiliousComplaintsFemal Irre-Lumbago TIC-Douloureux Blotches on he gularities Pile s Tumours Skiu Fevers of allRheutnatism Uleers Bowel Complaints kinds Retention of Venereal Affec- Colics Fits Urine. tions ConstipationoftheGou t Scrofula, or Werms of all Bowels Headaches King's Evil kinds Consumption Indigestion Sore Throats Weakness, from Debility I nflammation Stone andGra-whatevercause Dropsy Jaundice vel. &c.,&c.

AGRICULTURE. I DISMISSAL OF SERVANTS.—If you engage a married farm servant and give him a house at a November term, and re- tain him in your service for some years, say six or eight. Can you discharge that servant at a November term by giving him six week's warning ? [Itow was he engaged- for one, sit, or twelve months? All depends upon the terms of engagement, and the period when the engagement commenced, and when terminated. The period of warning for a servant engaged for six or twelve months is generally understood to be forty days. If this is the question intended to be put the time of notice of dismissal was sufficient, being more than forty days.] QUANTITY OF SUPERPHOSPHATE REQUISITE TO PRODUCE A GOOD CROP OF TURNIPS.—Could you inform me through your journal how many cwts. of phosphates an acre (Soots) of yellow turnips requires to make a good crop upon a soil consisting a good deal of sand ? [Much will depend upon the manurial condition of the soil previous to the preparing of land for turnips—the kinds and quantities of manure ap- plied, and when applied-also when the land was in grass, &c. The lIoil-" a good deal of sand"-may be in such a condition that no amount of superphosphate alone will pro- duce a full crop of turnips. The usual applications are from 3 to 7 cwts. per acre, but in Scotland superphosphates are seldom used alone, being usually applied with guano-these generally in equal quantities.] SHOULD FARMERS PAY INCOME-TAX ?—Many farmers pay this tax at a time when they are little able to do so some perhaps for appearance sake, bat far oftener in igno- rance of the law that, if they can show by their farm book an increase of expenditure over income, they are entitled to recover the sum paid from the Income tax commissioner. Will you kindly inform me, and through your journal far- mers in general, at what date this statement has to be given in, so as the tax may be repaid. [In answer to the above query we have to state that applications for repay- ment of Income tax, under the circumstances stated above, are directed by the Act of Parliament to be made within three calendar months after the expiration of the year of assessment (5th April). Practically, farmers whose rents amount to Y,300 per annum, and who are therefore held assessable to the tax, cannot avoid making payment of the duty in the first place, as it is due before they can usually be in circumstances to show what their loss has been, and their only mode of relief is by repayment. Where the farm books are kept as they ought to be there will be little diffi- culty attending such applications, but the Inland Revenue Office requires perfect accuracy and clearness in the state- ment of profit and loss.] FATTENING SWINE. Farmers begin to fatten swine too late. Some do not com- mence till the first of autumn, and others even later; the consequence is the animal scarcely gets under way whan the time comes for slaughtering him. Our best managers make it a rule to keep the amimal growing without intermission from the first period of its existence until ready for the pork- tub. If kept over winter, they are fed and kept comfortable throughout, and the regular fattening process is commenced early in spring. A bushel of Indian corn given thus early in the season to a vigorous growing animal, is worth much more than the same amount fed in autumn, and far more than if fed in cold weather or in winter. One reason that some farmers find it unprofitable to fatten pork, is that a large part of the process has to be performed when the weather has become so cold that much of the feed is required merely for sustaining animal warmth. The best pork-raiser we know of, has in one instance grown a pig eight months old so as to weigh about four hun- dred pounds; and, in another, four hundred and fifty pounds in ten months. He has the corn ground to meal, and pre- pares it by pouring into a covered tub four pails of boiling water to eachjheaping pail of dry meal. After standing a day or more, it all becomes nearly a solid mass, and makes excellent feed. The animals are kept perfectly clean, dry, dan comfortable, (not in a close pen, but in a small yard,) are fed with great regularity, and never quite so much as they will eat, surfeit being carefully avoided. He finds that pork thus manufactured costs him only ,five cents a pound when corn is a dollar per bushel. Farmers who have not begun to fatten their swine regu- tarty, as they should have done months ago, should com- menoe immediately. By attending to the particulars just mentioned, they will find the business far more profitable than the too frequent practice of feeding in the ear, giving the feed irregularly both as to time and quantity, and pay- ing no attention to cleanliness and comfort. The skilful j farmer, whose practice we have already described, finds that the mixture of meal and hot water makes twice as much pork as corn fed on the cob, according to careful weighing and mearuring.-Albany Country Gentleman. ——————————

DOGS CONVEYED BY RAILWAYS,—Last year, as appears by a return just issued, there were 386,864 dogs conveyed by railways. BREWERS' LICENCES.—By a recent act of Parliament brewers' licences are to expite on the 30th of September in each year. All licences issued after the 30th ult. will ex. pire on the day mentioned. LEGAL AND PARLIAMENTARY EXPENSES OF RAILWAYS. —According to an official document just issued, the legal and Parliamentary expenses of railways in tte last year given was no lees than £ 220,970. FAILURE OF A RAILWAY BRIDGE.—A few days ago one of the new iron bridges which carries the Whitby deviation railway across the Ellerbeck, in Gothland, broke under the weight of a passing engine. The engine fell through, but the men ed. the men escapedt. o Earl Granville's ironworks at Etruria, by are being made the erection of a largo number of pudding furnncco aad rolling mills. The new works will occupy both banks of the canal, and are close to the Hanley branch Railway.— Staflordshire Adveriser. THE REPRESENTATION OF SOUTHAMPTON.—There are now five candidates for the representation of Southampton at the next general election, viz., Alderman Rose, and Mr. Seymour, the sitting members for the borough, and Messrs. Russell Gurney, Goffat (M.P. for Honiton), and Mr T. M. Mackay. PROROGATION OF PARLIAMENT.—The Lord Chancellor and the commissioners appointed by Her Majesty, assemble in the House of Lords on Thursdan the 13th inst., for the purpose of proroguing the Imperial Parliament until Friday the 11th of November. There seems to be misapprehension in the public mind, and erronious statements- have ap- peared in several newspapers, in reference to the duration of the present Parliament. It was begun and holden on the 21st of May, 1853," and will not legally expire until the close of next year. The last was the sixth" Session, and as Parliament is septennial, seven" cannot be holden. Bccording to the usual practice, the dissolution will take place next spring, and the new Parliament assemble in November following for a short time and then adjourn to February or March for the transaction of general business. A HIT TO Hou-,Ewiv.Es. -At this season of the year the important process of bleaohing and dressing Laces and Lin- ens for Spring and Summer wear commences, we would particularly call the attention of our fair readers to the Glenfield Patent Starch, an article of primary importance in the getting up of these articles. The Glenfield Patient Starch is specially manufactured for family use, and such is its excellence, that it is now exclusively used in the Royal Laundry, and Her Majesty's Laundress profiounces it to be the finest Starch she ever used. Her Majesty's Lace Dress- er says it is the best she ever tried, and it was awarded two Prize Medals for its superiority. The manufacturers have much pleasure in stating that they have been appointee Starch Purveyors to H. R. H. the Princess of Wales. The Glenfield Patent Starch is sold by all Grocers, Chandlers, &o., &c. FRIGHTFUL AND FATAL ACC.IDENT.-On Saturday morn- ing, as the Brighton express train, due at the Londonbridge station at 11 o'clock, was running into the passenger station, t overtook two men in the service of the South-Eastern Railway who were leisurely walking on the line, killing one of them instantly on the spot, and so frightfully mutilating the other that he died soon after his removal to Guy's Hospital. The names of the deceased were George Hart, 28, and M'Carthy May, 30, billposters in the various stations along the line, and had arrived at the junction where all the Brighton Company's trains are turned from the main line on to the line running into the passenger station, and think, ing that the train was proceeding in another direction they continued walkiug on the up line, and so met with their melancholy fate. It does not clearly appesr whether the enginedriver sounded his whistle, but at all events, the men had no right to be walking on the line. BALLINASLOE CATTLE FAIR, took place on Friday, Though inferior to that of last year in regard to numbers, pieces are somewhat higher. First rate cattle were much sought after, and, as a consequence, holders of stock were well pleased with the rates they were in a position to de- mand. A falling off in the condition of young stock was noticed, and was attributed to the scanty supply of grass, which resulted from the drought in the summer months. The top price for well conditioned heifers was about 20 guineas. The following is the official return of the result of the fair as compared with laet year Ballioasloe, 10 p.m. 1864.—Oxen sold, 12,981; ditto, unsold, 1,466; total, 14,444. 1863.-Sold, 17,927; ditto uniold, 4,949 total, 22,876." A NEW BISHOPRIC FOR BRITISH COLUMBIA.—It has been arranged that a new bishopric shall be forthwith formed for the extensive colony of British Columbia, about Y,7,500 having been raised for its endowment. At the next meet- ing of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel it will be proposed that £1,000 shall be appropriated towards the endowment of a new see. The Bishop of Columbia, in making an application for the grant, stated that the colony bad now two governors, ai d it was most desirable that the ecclesiastical and civil divisions should be conterminous. The seat of the newly constituted see will be at New West- minster, from which the Bishop will derive his title. The Bishop of Columbia has appointed the Rev. S. Gilson, M.A., of Gatwich, Staffordshire, to the Archdeaconery of Vancuver. A HINT TO THE LADIES.—If you want your LACES and LINENS dressed in a superior Style (and who does not), you should use only the GLENFIELD STARCH, and you will be delighted with the elasticity and beautiful finish it gives to those articles. The GLENFIELD STARCH is exclusively used in the Royal Laundry, and Her Majesty's LaundreBB pro- nounces it to be the finest Starch she ever used. It was awarded two Prize Medals for its superiority, and the manufacturers have received numerous testimonials from all classes, all agreeing as to its excellent qualities. We would respectfully caution our fair readers when buying the GLENFIELD STARCH to see that they get it, as inferior kinds are often substituted. The manufacturers have much plea- sure in stating that they have been appointed Purveyors to H. R. H. t-- e Princess of Wales. IMPRISONED FOR NOT ATTENDING CHURCH.—At the Condover monthly petty sessions on Wednesday, before the Rev H. Burton and Hr, H. De Warter, two agricultural labourers, in 'he employ of Mr. George Mason, farmer, Ryton, named John Pilichee and Richard Davies, were brought up at the instance of their master, charged with having on the 4th of September, refused to obey his lawful commands. From the evidence it appeared that the "lawful commands" deposed to in the summons were resolved into the fact that on the day named, it being Sunday, Mr. Mason ordered the men to go to church, which they point blank refused to do. The case having been fully proved, the defendants were sentenced to seven days' imprisonment in tho Houso of Correction.

THE WEEK AT HOME. Lord Dufferin will prebably sucoeeed Lord Wodehouse as Under-Secretary of State for India.- Observer. A niece of Garibaldi has been singing at the Crystal Palace. Mr William Tait, the Bdingburgh publisher and founder of Tait's Magazine," has just died, aged It is stated that the Poet Laureate has already cleared XIO,000 by Enoch Arden and other Poems." The North IVala Chronicle states that a new copper m ine has been found at Bodidda, near Conway. The Queen purposes returning to Windsor on the 25th inst., and to remain there until the 19th or 20th of Decem- ber. The Court will then leave for Osborna, to spend Christmas. A silver cradle, worth £5j, has been presented to the Mayor of Basingstoke, in consequenoe of the Mayoress having given birth to a son during his Mayorality: The Rev. Charles Eyre of the Upper Park, Dedham re- cently committed suioide by hanging himself. Deceased who was a widower and 80 years of age, was a gentleman of somewhat ecentric habits. A Mr. Greaves, a cattle dealer of Worksop, has been knocked down and dreadfully gored by a cow, which then rolled upon him, breaking his collar bone. He lies in a perilous state. One of the present members for the county of Hereford, Lord William Graham, has intimated his intention of reti- ring from the representation at the approaching dissolution of Parliament. The health of the noble lord, has for some- time past, been anything but satisfactory, and compels him to resign a position the duties of which he feels himself unable adequately to discharge. During the past week a trial of naval rifles, converted to breech-loaders on the Montstorm principle, has taken place on board the Excellent, gunnery ship at Portsmouth, with perfect success. The special ammunition prepared for the ordinary Montstorm rifle, or the ordinary Enfield ammu- nition as now issued, can be used with the naval rifle. This weapon can also be used either as a muzzle or a breeoh loader. The cost of conversion is stated to be about 30s per arm. REPRESENTATION OF EXETER.—According to the West- ern Times, the recent revtslon of voters' lists at Exeter has entirely changed the aspect of the register. Not only has the majority against Mr. Coleridge at the last election been entirely wiped off, but a respectable balance" has been left on the other eide. Nothing, it is said, could have contributed more to strengthen the tianas or luo lituv.-i part of the constituency than the result of the recent cont- ast, and the manner in which that result was brought about. 1.1&, PEABODY.—The retirement from business of Mr. George Peabody, announced in Friday's Gazette, is a step which for two years past had been arranged by him to take place. Mr Peabody's commercial life commenced at the age of 18, and has continued with uninterrupted prosperity for more than half a century. The only seeming reverse he ever experienced was during the panic in 1867, when his firm found it necessary to obtain an advance from the Bank of England on a deposit of valid securities to the amount of £ 800,000. This event, however, merely involved some temporary sacrifices, since the entire advance was repaid before the expiration of the term agreed upon, and the profits of the house since that time-even including the period of the civil war-are known to have been extremely large. It is consequently believed that, notwithstanding public gifts which he has made in this and his own country, amounting to an aggregate little short of half a million sterling, his fortune on his retiring is nearly as large as at any period of his career. The Times gives an evidently official explanation of the case of the Royal Sovereign turret-ship. She is intended for a harbour-ship—therefore there is no need to send her to sea and she needs various alterations," which oan be done best in dock, but will take some time during which it would be waste of money to keep her in commis- sion. HOUNDS IN THE SEYENTEETH CENTURY.-One of the earliest packs of foxhounds on record was that kept by the then Lord Arundell of Wardoui between the years 1690 and 1 1700; and the family are in possession of memoranda prov- ing that they occasionally hunted them from Wardour Castle in Wiltshire, and at Breamore, near Salisbury, now the seat of Sir Edward Hulse, but then the occasional residence of Lord Arundell. These hounds were kept by the Arundells until about the year 1745, when the sixth Lord Arundell died. After his disease they wore kept by his nephow, the Earl of Castlehaven, by whom and his successors they were hunted until the death of the last Earl of that name, about i the year 1783. The pack was then sold to the celebrated Mr. Hugo Meynell, of Quorndon-hall Leicestershire; and it is probable that they contributed largely to the establishment of that gentleman's foxhunting fame, and have been the 1 progenitors of some of the Qaorn hounds of the present day. -Once a Week. A BLUE-EYED, FLAXEN-HJ IRED, COMPLETE ORPHAN" WANTED forADOPTIOX.-At the weekly meeting of St.Luke's Board of guardians, held on Friday, a letter was read from a gentleman in the neighbo urhood of the City road, setting forth that he had been requested, on behalf of a lady of pro- perty.to ask if theBoard had "a oomplete orpnan," with blue eyes and flaxen hair, not more than two years of age, and of gentle manners, to be given up to be adopted-the lady agreeing to take such a child, educate her as a lady should be educated, and finally to will over Y,300 per annum. The letter was referred to the house and visiting committee to see if there might be a blue-eyed flaxen haired, complete orphan" in the union. THE COUNTERFEIT SOVEREIGNS.—We have seen ^gec^ l mensofthebase money.h^v^tj^tbaunw;;y'trIdesman. It is necessary, therefore to put the public on their guard against thi. yetem nf fraud Tho Times .o.t. u, best means of detecting the false coins is by ringing them, because they lack the sharp clink of the true sovereign j but this will be found a very treacherous operation, as many of the genuine are cracked or brittle, and hence have no music in their souls. The cracks in these arise from i mper- fections existing in the oast bars of gold from which the coins have been manufactured. Supposing for instance that an air bubble lies concealed beneath the smooth surface of a gold bar recently, removed from its mould, then the laminating process will inevitably elongate and close up the orifice. Presently blanks will be punched from the strap of metal and these unless great care be exercised in rejecting them, will include cracked or hollow pieces cut from the defective part of the strap. Afterwards they receive their impressions, pass into circulation, and henceforth are, like some monarohs, cracked sovereigns. There are two modes of detecting spurious sovereigns. The one is weighing them in delicate scales against a weight equal to 256oz or against a genuine & newly minted piece of the same denomination. If it be found to vary from this more than half a grain, either on the light or the heavy side, but more especially on the former, its quality may well be doubted. The second method is that of a careful examination of the suspicious coin and its compa- rison with a well known good one. The trorkmanship ex- hibited by counterfeit coins is always inferior to that shown by genuine ones, and a quick eye will at once detect that inferiority. This is notably so in the case of the base sover- eigns now in circulation. Their milling, for example, is very imperfect, whilst the lettering and the engraving generally are slovenly and coarse. The dies from which they have been struck were manifestly the work of no artist, but of some novice and, fortunately, the results of his hand- work are not likely long to pass current. -Xechanies, Maga- zine. THE CHURCH OF THE VENERABLE BEDE.—The church of the Venerable Bede, one of the earliest of our Saxon scho- lars at Jarrow, on the Tyne, described as one of the most remarkable of the ecclesiastical monuments of the land, and one of the very oldest churches in the kingdom, is being restored and enlarged, to meet the requirements of the village, which is increasing very fast, and promises soon to be a considerable town in connexion with the iron Trade of the Tyne. Mr Gilbert Scott has been intrusted with the restoration, and Mr Hudspeth, of Alnwick, is at present employed restoring the venerable tower and chancel. Seve- ral interesting discoveries have been made during the progress of the work, and great care will be taken in making the restorations. The cost will be about £ 3,000. Sir Walter James, the Dean and chapter of Durham, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Bishop of Durham, the Ecclesiastical Com- missioners, and the neighbouring land owners and employ- ers of labour having contributed liberally towards the fund for the restoration. THE NEGRO'S PLACE IN NATURE.—Captain Burton has an elaborate chapter on the negro's place in nature, which is, at all events, founded on a very intimate experience of his capacities. He insists on the arrested physical develop- ment of the race, and he records his own corroborative experience of the working of the African's mental machi- nery. The capacity of this stops short in embryo. The pure negro ranks in the human family below the two great Arab and Aryan races. A very little learning addles his feeble brain. He has never grasped the ideas of a personal deity, a duty in life, a moral code, or a shame of lying. He has an instinctive and unreasoning aversion to increasing population. As a rule he despises agriculture. His cruelty is like that of a schoolboy, the blind impulse of rage com- bined with want of sympathy. Thus he thoughtlessly tortures and slays his prisoners as the youth of England torment and kill cats. He fails in the domestication of the lower animals, because he is deficient in forbearance with them in a short time his violence will ruin the temper of a horse, and be will starve to death the English dog for which, perhaps, he has paid a high price. Music and dancing, his passions, are, as arts, still in embryo. He cultivates oratory, and so do all barbarians. He is eternallv singing, but he has no idea of poetry. His painting and statuary are, like his person, ungraceful and grotesque while his art, like his mind, is arrested by the hand of nature. His year is a rainy season, his moons have no names, and of an hour he has not the remotest conception. His tech- nology consists of weaving, cutting canoes, making rude weapons, and in some places practising a rough metallurgy. The negro, in mass, will not improve beyond a certain point, and that not respectable he mentally remains a child, and is never capable of a generalization. He is nowhere worse than at home, where he is a curious mixture of cowardice and ferocity. With the barbarous dread and horror of death, be delights in the torments and destruction of others, and with more than the usual savage timidity his highest boast is that of heroism. He is nought but self, unenlighted self he lacks even the rude virtue of hospitality, and, ever as Commander Forbes has it, he baits with a sprat to catch a mackerel."

SERIOUS GUN ACCIDENT TO A NEPHEW OF THE LoRD CHANCELLOR.—One of these accidents which too frequentl1 befal sportsmen during the shooting season, happened on Thursday last, at Ravenswood Park, near Wailingl I College, the seat of Capt. Sawyer. Mr Betneii, nephew of the Lord Chancellor, was one of a shooting party formed, and while out in the woods, his left hand was severely shattered by the discharge of his guo.

DtSAl' POINTED LOVE.—On Friday an inquest was held on ttO body of the young lady who drowned herself in the Wye, at Hereford. At the investigation it transpired that a }ir Thomas had under promise of marriage seduced the aeceaiied- A mutual friend, believing that deceased was enc-eink, wrote to Mr Thomas, on the 2-1-rd of September, but received no reply. This harsh treatment on the part of her lovei preyed so acutely on the mind of the poor young lady that she determined to destroy herself. The jury retarned a verdict of Temporary insanity, and severely censured the conduct of the young man Thomas. A RAM BIRD SHOT.—On Tuesday afternoon, while )It ftt R. Lorriman, feather preserver, was on Filey Brigg be noticed a large flying low and hovering about in searcin Of prey. Crouching down, he waited its approach, levolled his gun, fired, and it fell. Mr Winson, bird-stuffer, in whose possession the bird now is, pronounces it to be. a splendid specimen of the gos-hawk, strong and robust In frame and of exceedingly fine plumage. The Rev. F, O. Morris, B.A„ in his History of British Birds, says, 4, In Yorkshire the only occurrence of this bird on record was at Casworth, near Donoaster, where one was killed in the year 1825 by the gamekeeper of Mr W, B. Wrightson, M.P. 91 Therefore, the far-famed Filey Brigg must now be awarded the honour of being the place where the death took place of the second gos-haw k in Yorkshire, favouring the idea ex- pressed by Mudie that the bird although preferring a variety of woodland and open country, also _dwells in the roCkY cliffs of the sea coast. -Sheffield Daily Telegraph. CAPTURE OF A SHARK.—On Monday morning a shark, measuring eight feet in its extreme length, was caught fit the Greenses Harbour, a short distance from the shore, by the crew of a fishing coble. The fish seems to have got entangled in some of the fishermen's gearing in the water; and while in a comparatively helpless state, it was secured by the fishermen and safely landed. It was estimated to weigh about 30 iatone.-Berwick Advertiser. ESCAPE OF A PRISONER FROM GRANTHAM GA.OL prisoner in Grantham gaol contrived to get into the governor's house on Monday, whence he borrowed a great coat and coolly walked out of the prison door in Guildhall- street. Within five minutes he was missed by the wardert and immediately the officers were sent in all directionl In pursuit of him, and succeeded in securing him. This prisoner's name is Jesse Dale; he was convicted last April sessions for picking the pocket of a woman from Gonerby 111 Grantham market, and sentenced to 18 months imprison- ment, six of which he had served. On Tuesday he "at taken before the magistrates charged with stealing the coat of Mr Mawyer (the governor,) and committed for trial at the next sesaions.. DESPERATE ENCOUNTER BETWEEN A POACHER AND POLICEMAN —On Wednesday evening. Constable Shaw, of the Berwickshire police, stationed at Earlston, having fODd a travelling tinsmith on the public road near Park carryiBfJ a gun and some newly-killed rabbits, and suspecting him 0 poaching, seized both gun and rabbits, in terms of the Poaching Prevention Act, and conveyed them to the police- station. At a late hnnr "t night, "hile Shaw was sitting in his OW". i.-use, the tinsmith rushed in and siezed the gl1, j mil the view of making off with it. The policeman lad > I hold of him, and both closed, when a fierce struggle ensueu, The man, who was armed with a butcher's knife, which wa* subsequently found to have been recently sharpened, made repeated taauB ai LlUS puiiceuuiu, cutting bim in the oao* and shoulder. The policeman managed to get hold of the knife, and wrenched it out of the man's grasp, but in doing so he inflioted some severe wounds on his own hand. The only other person present was the constable's wife, who ran for assistance, and on gettiug it this desperate fellow was locked up.-Edinbifrgh Conrant. MARRYING AGES.—Tbe reoorded statistics for three years of the ages at which people marry in England and Wales present some interesting and curious subjects for remark. The registers from which the following statistics and obser- vations are drawn are those for 1859, 1860, and 1861. Marriages are recorded from 15 to 80 years of age. Up to the age of 20 a much greater proportion of women are married then men but after that age more men are married j and a much greater proportion of old men between 60 and J| 80 than of old women. During the three years in question there were 78 girls married at 15 years of age, but no males', and while 17 youths of 15 years wedded, there were 637 girls of the same age who took the step. The greatest number of both sexes marry at 20 years, but more of the ladies. At 25 and 30 the proportion is greater of the men but after 30 the number falls to half, and up to 50 men seem to get regularly less and less inclined to matrimony, but they continue to marry up to 80 years. The greatest number of women marry at 20 years at 25 there are fewer by more than half; and five years more reduces the pro- portion considerably more than half again but at 35, 40, and 45, the numbers fall off more regularly. For example, in 1861 there were married at the age of 20, 48,495 men and 50,616 women at 25, 26 473 men and 20,673 women, at 30, 10,621 men and 7840 women at 35, 5464 men and 4252 wo?en; at 40, 3642 men and 2875 women. There were 119 men married at 70 years of age, but only 21 women; 30 men at 75 and 3 women; 8 men of 80 years old, but 2 women; while in the previous year, 1860, there were 10 ootogenarian gentlemen wedded, and only 1 lady of an i equal age. The total numbers married of each sex in these | years were-1859, 103,549; 1860, 106,385; and 1861, II 103,694. A GOOD SUGGESTION.—A correspondent of the Athenceum asks leave to draw the attention of the Acclimatisation Society to the celebrated white fish" of the Canadian lakes, especially of Lake Michigan and the Manitou Islands, the acknowledged excellence of which fish, with its northern habitat, would seem to point it out as a most valuable addition to our northern lakes of Cumberland and Scotland, now almost valueless; whilst the difficulty of transporting the ova from the Canadian lakes to England would be much less than that experienced in the case of bringing the Silurus from the Argisch to our shores. THE DAVENPORT FRATERNITY.-As to the phenomena themselves, anything so grotesquely absurd and stupidly meaningless has not yet been produced even in the dreary annals of spiritualism. A well-known professional conjuror, who gives his name and address, Mr. Tolmaque, claims to be able to do the same things, and asserts that it is only a very common trick of charlatanism. Mr. Anderson, the Wizard of the North, goes further, and says that the Brothers Davenport have been brought over "by a specu- lator, Mr. Palmer, formerly in his employment, and the thing most remarkable about the whole entertainment seems to be that The Times should have treated with so much gravity, if not oredulity, as to advertise it in this unusual way. The performances of Houdin, and Frikell, and Anderson, and other masters of the art are infinitely more clever and inexplicable than those of the Davenport fraternity, and are done in broad gaslight. But who wants to find out a conjuror ? Volumus necipi et decipimur. You go to see tricks not to learn slight of hand. People believed in Cagliostro, who was a very clever fellow; and no doubt there are now plenty of people who will, when the exhi- bition is open to the publio, run to the Davenport Brothers and gravely wag their heads, and hint that they fully believe in the connexion of these rampageous violins and erratio muffin-bells with the awful realities of the spirit world, Nothing that we care to say will disabuse them. Only let them consider this, that if anything can effectually lower all consoling conceptions of the great and mysterious world of spirits, and completely debase, if not destroy, belief, if not in a future state, at least in the blessed con- dition of disembodied spirits delivered from the burden of the flesh-released, as we trust, from the weaknesses and miseries of this sinful world-it is to take up with spiritual- ism, we must believe that spirits—beings infinitely above us in intelligence, happiness, and the fruition of the Divine love and Divine knowledge—have nothing better to do, and no holier ministrations to discharge, than to dash cracked violins into people's faces, to pinch their legs in the dark, to float round a room scratching the ceiling with a bit of charcoal, to write execrably bad grammar and portentous nonsense, which they call spirit messages, by fumbling over a child's toy alphabet, and, last and worst of all, by inspiring such a set of American adventurers as Davenport, Fay, and Co., and Mr. Palmer, the speculator, formerly in the employment of the Wizard of the North -Saturday Review.
