that the most acute znlnd could not separate nor reduce them to order ; and thna he proceeded , worse confounding confusion , until the first stroke of the dock oTer bis head proclaimed his safety for thai turn . Then he bowed with dignity and walked eff to rappei , with a glow of triumph on his cheek , and smiling benignsntly like £ man at peace with himself auii all the world . O . success to you , Carrol Watson , wherever yon are npoa ths fcroad surface of this pleasant earth ! The meetings -were htld once a-week , and the adverse faction made sure of achieving their ruthless purpose on the following Wednesday . But little they knew the enduring qualities of the eloquence they desired to cxtin . ^ nish . TVstson threw a number of ingenious delays in » he wsy of the preliminary business ; and when the hour of hia trial come round , there be was , ready to begin at the beginning , and go over ev ^ ry syllable of his former defer ca , with additions and
emendations de nero . In this way ha consumed three nights ol debate ; -which were us good as three Weeks gained in the chapter of accident * . Then came the examination cf witceEss s at the bar , and their crossexamination by cur raatcbJei-s Cunclaior , in the course of which he elicited v&rions facts of private history , curious enough in themselves , but not bearing very relatively upon the matter . Thus he got out of one gentleman that he cerer eat more than three eggs to hi 3 Tjrtakfast ; and from nno'her that he 'was passionately fond of playing the claiicnet ; whereof , indeed , all we wko were condenmtd to hear him practising The Coptriliagen Waif : zr > d J ^ cu- ' ez vous denser , from morn to night , six days in the wet-k , Deeded no oral testimony to assure us , But what such facts had to do with the alleged tampering of Carrol Wateon with tbe journals ef the Historical Society , none of ns could comprehend . Ti ey ferred , however , to kill time on his behalf , and to relieve the tedium of the inquiry on
ours . Seven weeks more were disposed of by the examination of witnesses ana the inspection of documents ; and then followed speeches to evidence , and dispntes upon points of order , which brought the case down to the thirteenth week ; the cnlprit appearing , at that stage , as fresh and ae full of m-. tter SEd of resolution to prolong the fiiht , as when 2 dr . Lerdrick stood up in his bearskin to impeach him . 0 , Ireland ! ould Ireland why did yon not send Cirrnl Watson to Parliament ? They might brin * in their Artxs Bill then , an / i their Disfranchising Bills , thirteen to tbe dcztn—sed revocarc ffradum ; but to gel theiu out again , without his full leave and consent , would have put tbe whols working majority of ninety-seven , or whatever it is , with $ ir Robert Peel himself at their bead , to their wifs end .
The affair was brought to a prematars (?) conclusion , by the defendant getting himself into a quarrel with another member , followed by a challenge , & . c , which ended in the expulsion of both parties from tbe University . The writer relates the following good anecdote of the use that may be made of tbe * ' forty-parson power'' of talk , cpon occasion in tbe debates of tbe * collective wisdom . " I shall be pardoned for reJatiug an authentic anecdote , illustrative of the good use which enn be n : ade of this talent . Some years ago Lord Althorp , bein ^ ChiuceV . or of tbe Exchequer , proyGsed , as " a boon to Ireland * to lower tbe duty on whiskey by one ibilJiug per gsllon . It was that same shJiiinc which Mr- Goulburn replaced laj . t year , by a mistaken calculation of a large increase to the revenue , and ^ hicD lie found himself the otfcer day obliged again to remit .
When Lord Althorp had Kiide known his intention of thus consulting for the IrUh taste , tFather Mathetr was then unknown , ) the Ca ' ed ^ nian members took umbrage at the slight put upon their native brewage , and protested angrily against it . But the word of the GoveTOiEfDt was pledged ; srA the resolution should b ? bronzht forward . On the appointed day , however , for moving the reduction , the CbSBcellor cf the Exchequer accosted Id ore OTerr&ll in the lobby , and told him frankly that the Esjority ef the Scottish members were too formidable to be pio-cked . He would therefore JEfTfrly propose the reso l ution , ns hv was besnd by bAs p 7 omise , but must leave it an open question to the friends of the Government to take wliat side they pleased .
The notice was a short one ; end or . Icofeing through tbe House , the member for K'Jdare / cand a strong njcs ' er from the " Land of Ci-kei , '' art ! a very thin rprinkiing of Irlih members . Fortnnatily he kcew ¦ where the letter ware to be found : f ^ r he had been invited to jein a larro party cf them ir a white-bait excursion to Green' = rich ; and he took tbe resolution cf setting out immediately and bringing tbtm up &r the division . Bat Then how to keep tbe qnr = Hon rfl ^ . t .-01 t » e time thst must elspse tfurirg his ftpsence ? He almost dtspaJred ; but seeing oiiS Kutbvca , and vrii : krowing of what leathern qualities Lis Iunt ; s were composed , he bri-flpfxplaiced to him tb-- true state of the Msa . and beggea of him to keep tte House tai ^ used till fce fbonld return .

" Faith srd I'd like it now , " said the henourabie and learcrd nifiEijtr for Dublin , sitting down without wiitijig to inish h : s period . The object was gained ; Irish whiskey beat tbe Ferir .-toEh by a majority of ten : a national triumph which never could have btec achieved , had not Edward Southwell Ruthven studied verbiage in the Historical Society . The " Scenes in tbe Life of an Antboress" are continued in the present number ; and Bon Gaultkr furnishes another medley , umler the title of " My Wife ' s Albcin . " We caEnot say that we relish his present bo tvell as his former collection of squibs and crackers . Probably the writer hisaself fnrp ^ heB us with tbe best explanation of tbe cause in the following : —
I have been in a fool ' s paradise for the last week . My back i 3 still smarting from the stroke of the old shoe which followed me into the carriage that bore me , with the young partner of my heart , from a weeping cire ' e of friends , and the paternal residence in Plata . The honeymoon has not had time to show the least tendency to korns ; 3 nd the vow which I swore to my lovely Julia between Haugingehaw and Torsonce , to forswear wh ^ ky-toddy and cherooU , remains unbroken . My health has been visibly declining in consequence ; but one gianco in Julia ' s eyes , and the memories of Sliniiia fc ' a i k « s curl of its own smoke in tl e moraine air : and Klay :-nd Glenlivat are abandoned ¦ without a sigh .

But , npen the -whole , 1 Ehonld say , if 1 might bs allowed a iittie poetical licence , that since " holy church ineorporatfd us twoir . one , " We en honey dew have fed , And drnnk the milk cf paradise ; but as all that is between the " cor-mouB moon" and feurselves , the Its ? that 1 e said about it tbe bvtter .

Cut it was now observed tbat if tbey dul not quickly leava her , she would carry all on board so tha bottom ; fat by that time the wator was within three feet of the deck , and she was going down bead foremost . The master , seeing the imminent danger , had tbe boats lowered , and some of crew having s % ved part of their clothes , the ship was left to her fate . The boats had scarcely reached more than fifty yards before tha Hercules disappeared in several fathoms -water . The « ew were shortly picked n ? by one of the lusfgers , and proceeded to Rsmsgate , where they lauded in safe ty , at about four o ' clock the following morning , though -mcll fatigued by their excessive
exertions-The remaining luggers kept cruising about the suefcea ship , saving the different articles that floated from her , which they landed . From the position in which tha vessel lies , and the stron 2 J carrenta continually rurring over the spot , it ia considered impossible to raise her , consequently shi i 3 a total loss . She is stated to be fully insured at South and North Shields , but the amount we are unable to state . Swee the above waa written , a report has roxfcsd Lloyd ' s , which stntes tbst tbe vessel is sank ia about f jur-and-a-half fathoms at low water , the North Forehnd bearing north by west . In consequence of hee lying in the track cf shipping to and from the Djwns , and her three masts standing , though oil her rising and yards have disappeared , the Trinity House bre'hrea have placed a green buoy , marked " wreck , " off the spot , in order to prevent disasters .
LOSS OF THE OCEAN . Within a few mile 3 of where tbo above unfortunate wreck happened , another vessel , called tho Oesan , master William Watkins , laden with , ground nuts , from Sierra Leone to Landon . drove SBb . ore on Wednesday , between tbe Nes 3 Sinds and Margate , vrhera she has since gone to pieces . Part of tho cargo has been got out of the wreck , and brought ashore ; A WI 1 ALING SHIP TOTALLY LOST . Lotters were also received on Moaday . announcing the wreck of another British whaling ship , the-Siv John Cockburn , commanded by Captain Davies , of L-. ndon , the loss by which ia currently repotted to ba at least £ 40 , 000 . She was the property of Mr . Ward , tbt , South
Rca merchant , nt Cock-hill , Ratcliff , who is r . ; . t insured . This is tho cec-osd whaier that Mr . Ward has lost within the last six months , the other Leir *« the S-. rah and Eiizibeth , of London , which it will ba recollected , was captured and burnt by pirates , while lying near Copang , who murdered three of tfce unfortunate crew . Mr . Ward has received a statement from Captain Davis , cf the Sir John Cockbum , in which the whole of the circumstances of the loss of that ship is detailed . It states the ship run ashore on some is ' e . nda near Muscat , on the coast of Arabia , and that she became a total wreck . The ship was a very fiae v& = » £ 3 , nei \ rly Tour hundred tons burden . The crew were all saved , but they are stvuro snff ^ rers . LOSS OF THE IlERMAN , OF 9 DNDERLAND , AND ATLESFoRD OF DUNDEE . The above veesels , the former ladan with timber , and the latter with hemp , were stranded at Faro , north-end of Gothland .

HOOD'S MAGAZINE AND COMIC MISCELLANY . Herei ? a rr-w candidate for popular patronage . cond : ! CUv ! by one who : o weH-earned laurels of tbe past ar < - a good guarantee for the future . But if tbe public could eniertain any c ' oubt upon tbatscoro , they vriM find in the v . 'ork before us ample evidence tha *! ihe prince of humourists is still as fresh as erer , despite tbo multitude of good things to which he has b-jforetime helped them , but which by no xueaas sfim to havo exhausted the fouatain from which his bright imaginings are drawn .
Mr . Hood commences with a rhymed romance , entitled "The Haunted Houee , " exceedingly impressive , and which having read , the reader will not soon forget . " Great Tern of Oxford" is , wo presume , the crmmencement of a series of similar sketches . The fir . ^ t poruon of the present one is decidedly the best . Tho story is briefly this : — A poor servitor " arrives at Oxford to take up hi 8 quarters in the University ; be is conducted by the porter to his chamber , which is situated in the btll tower , immediately under the " Great Tom . " In the midst of hi- - first slcf p he is loused by tho terrific " bom , bom" of Ha up = taira neighbour ; and the poor student , terrified out ol ' his wits , ruahes from his bed , suppose the "bom , bem , " to be the shock of an earthquake . He ia , of course , informed by tbe porter of tbe causa cf hi" alarm . The next night , he is advised to a remody by the considerate Cerberus , who —but he shall speak for himself : —
" S ' . t , " said he , " I kuowB as gentlemen as sleeps here for the fust term seldom gits any sleep unless tbey takes my remedy , and put on a double nightcap . " " A-woollrn one , ptrhaps , " said 1 ; " but 1 assure you 1 never -wore a nightcip in my life . Won't a We ! sb "Wig do as well ? I have one that I bought to wear outside tbe coach . " " Bless your iunneerice , " cried Cerberus , laughing . " 1 never tad the least notion of meaning a literal nigbtc-. p—a bsg with a tassel to it—I alludes to a miMjfurioil 1 ne . " "A ssaitkin travelling-cap , eh ?" " Worse acd ¦ worse . In Oxford a nightcap is Greek or Latin for a strong glass of something waim . Try it on , Sir , and if one don ' t make you sleepy , try two . "
Therclatorof the story acted upon tbis advice ; brewed himself a stiff glass of gin-and-water , —a second , —and then a third , with what result the reader will see ; ilie " inspiring juice" making him as brave as Tam O' Shanter ! So true it is , that" Wi'tippenBy vre fvar na evil , Wi' ueqnebacgh wo'd face tho deil !" I was roused from & delicious dream of home and its comforts by somtthii : !;—I presume the clock striking twelve . " This will mvtr do , " said I . "If I drink any more I shall be ill . I / eel rather queer now—the candles seem to me to have uicb-ella tops to their wicks , and thero are four of thtni burring , though I am couvinced I oB ! y put up a pair . Tbat horrid bell!—a capital idea strikes me— ' face your enemy and he'l fly , ' so th « copy-books say . I'll go up and face great Tom , and crack bis bead with a poker . Splendid BOtiOE !"
After making three unsuccessful bc-bs at my weapon of offence , I mausrtd to cecure it , and taking one of the candle * , which I was surprised to find left only two on the table , 1 resolutely made my meandering way up tLe staircase , aid came to a strong door on my left fastened by a padlock . A -well-directed energetic blow with the poktr ma ; ie tbe fastening f ive way , and I found myst-lf in a huge high hollow dome , with a spiral staircase leading to ils icof , by the side of whiib hnng a thick rope , which I ftlt assured was suspendedfrem n > y enemy . Without tbe least hesitation
I rushed up , but long before I to * to tb ' -s top . from geing round and round with 1 : 7 feet , my heaci bsgan to go round and icund as welL I se- ' z ^ d on tbe handrail , to fcave myself from falling , bat dropped my candle , "which wtDt odwd , spinimg llrr . ugb the dark void like a spent rocket-stick , and lighted , without a light , on the floor below . 1 was eo angry with it for leaving me in the dark , tbat I fluog the poker after it and rushed on heedless of consequences , until I tripped over a rope and fell , head fi > £ t , upon a level floor , acres * which I rolled , like a shot out of a shovel .
I was E ' . unned by tho fall , but when I recovered myself a little , I got up , resoKed to find the bell . I put out my bangs to grope my way , and felt a cold , nnooth , metallic , concave surface , around -which I travelled cautionaly , until I caught my foot against sometiiDg , ¦ w Wcb , on stooping to ascertain its nature , 1 discovered to bs a rope . I passed my band along it , and found it was attached by a jflip-knot to a huge mass of iron , with a knot at tbe . end like an exaggerated college iitcfceu peker . . Whet cc . n tbia be IP , said I to jnyselt But before I conld n-piy to my owt question , there came over wa a sudden fa r . tct- £ s and a conviction that I was in the bell—in tLe very heart of my enemy—in the bowels < jf Great Tohi
I eto « d acd tixmbled . A cold sweat buist out of every pore of my person . My bair seemed as if some centrifugal force had been applied to it ; and that it wes flying , or rather rtcii&Ung , off my bead , like the wig of tbe little men tbat tbey place on tbe top of an elctrifying
