lnUJ > OF BOSS TAMISIER , THE MIRACLE WORKER . o s Tamisier , the female arrested on a charge . r having by a pretended miracle at St . Saturnin , ear Apt , committed what ' the law calls " an out-5 ^ c on objects of religious worship , " was brought In trial fonr days ago before the Tribunal of Cor-% ctional Police of Carpentras . She iB extremely ^ Se and her features bear the mark of mysticism . S ar ' heariug ismo est » and ne dresses in black , Sth » nun s -cap . Her age is thirty . three . The Ainrt va * crowded to excess , and the famous bleedj ^ pictnre was placed behind the judges . It was irovei by sereral witnesses that Itose had alwavs nretended to possess the power of working mira-* ot * T . OF BOSS TAMISIER , THE MIRACLE
cles To one witness sne once snowed a letter which she said had been-written by a person who could neither read nor write , and that person she declared had been miraculously endowed with the faeolty of writing in consequence of her prayers . 1 o another witness she asseried-that she had on a particular occasion been surrounded with a great jUtfrom Heaven at Cadenet . To a third , she said that she had once , when in th& convent of Sallons , planted a cabbage by the command of Heaven , and [ bat ura few days it grew to such a vast size that gU the persons in the convent - were able to make a dinner of it . - The cnteof Salgnon deposed that he had known Hose Tainisier for fifteen years , and had always noticed in her a marked tendency to oietv
and mysticism . •? In August , 1850 ,: she told him that she had miraculously received the sacrament in the parish church ; and on going to the tabernacle of the altar he found that the'consecrated wafer had disappeared . On two subsequent occasions the consecrated wafer again -vanished , and Rose pretended that she had again miraculously communicated , He , therefore , removed the key of the tabernacle , and forbade her to approach the alter ; he also directed his vicaire not to say mass at the principal altar ; but nevertheless the consecrated wafer was again taken away , and he could not-discover that any eecond tey to the tabernacle existed . On going to the . church one morning , he was surprised to find the tabernacle open , two candles on the
altar lighted , and . Rose prostrate on the ground . In answer to his questions , she said that the candles nad become li g hted of themselves , that the tabernacle had voluntarily opened , that she had felt herself fixed to the ground at some distance from the altar , and that the consecrated wafer had then advanced slowly to her mouth . About the same time she pretended to have jnarka ota miraculous character on her breast , and to prove this assertion she produced her linen , ' which bora sometimes stains representing the Virgin Maryj and , at others , a crown of thorns . He took measures to ascertain plietner she baa not so marked her linen , but wjtbonfc success . One day before celebrating masB , he ordered Rose to place a piece of clean linen to her
breast , and not to leave the church without his permission . When the mass was over , he called her to the vestry and made her produce the linen ; to his astonishment it Dore the figure of the "Virgin . By direction of the archbishop , he directed her to pray to God that the marks on- her breast might be removed , and a few days after they disappeared . The vicaire of Saignon , after deposing' to the repeated disappearances of the consecrated wafer , stated that in the month of October last he had to say mass one morning at five o ' clock , and expressed tb Rose the fear that he might not awake in time . Rose answered , " I -will have yon awakened . " The next morning lie was' aroused from W 9 Sleep by three Mows struck on his zrigb . 6 table , and at the same tune he heard distant music . A moment after the clock struck five . The next day he said io Hose , "You forgot to awaken me ? " She
answered , " I had 70 U awakened by a guardian angel ? " The witness added that- another miracle ascribed to itose was that she had caused buttons to be sent to him in a strange way , to repair his coat . The fact was that he had found the buttons in his apartment , and that no one could tell how they come there . But he attached no importance to that fact , and considered it a joke . M . Massie , a landowner at Saignon , said that the vicaire had called Aim an atheist , and an infidel , for not believing in the reality of Rose ' s miracles , and had announced to him that still more extraordinary things would soon be witnessed . Madame Ferriere , a sister of the Order of the Presentation de la Marie , called in religion Sister Sainte Leonardo , who stated that she witnessed some of Rose ' s miracles , and had not believed in them . She had warned her to be prudent in her conduct . Several other witnesses then
deposed that Rose had made extraordinary statements to them , and pretended to be in frequent communication with the Holy Virgin , to nave peculiar marks on her breast , &c . One said that on intimate friend of Rose had assured her that one day , S 3 two females were passing the church of St . Saturnin , they felt themselves irresistibly attracted to the interior , and , on kneeling before a picture , saw blood flow from it . At this stage of the evidence the tribunal adjourned . The trial has" since been suddenly brought to a close by a decision of the tribunal that it is legally iacompotent to try the case .

Thk Lock Cokiroveesy . —The Times says : —• W are glad to bear that Messrs . Bramah intend raising no captious objections as to the award of the arbitrators , having determined to pay Mr . Hobbs the 200 guineas reward offered by them . The lock picked has been taken to pieces and carefully examined . The slide plates with which the interior is provided show at several points the operation of a file , which Mr . Hobbs probably used in order to render the action of the key when introduced certain—one or two of them are also slightly bent . This , they contend , could not have been done if the plates in question had been of steel instead of soft ; iron . In all their recent locks steel has been used , but the lock opened was made fifty years ago , and fcas hung in their shop window ever since with the
general challenge attached to it . Not only in the material of the side plates , but also in the size of the keyhole , Messrs . Bramah contend that Mr . Hobbs had an advantage , the latter being much larger than in their present make , and giving the American extra facilities for the U 3 e of his picking instruments .- Messrs . Bramah strongly protest against the insinuation that their lock had been prepared for the recent trial , asserting that it had not been taken to pieces previously for thirty-five Tears j and they express their confident expectation that in a fortnight their patent will be again exhibited in their shop window with the former general challenge attached to it . We hear that the lock exhibited by Mr . Ilobbs is itself to be immediately tested by an English mechanic .
As Uhbxpbcied Response . — Three soldiers landed the other day at Egremont , and swaggered up the pier in unseemly fashion , talking loudly and evidently bent on misbehaviour . When they arrived at the paygate they insisted upon passing at the contractor ' s , side of the barrier . This being contrary to rule , was resisted by the men in charge . One of the soldiers , however , forced his way through , and bad his ire excited by a gentleman who stood gazing at them with fixed attention . insolent airand said

Poisoxous Mushrooms . —The following published in the Times : — " Having observed with pain , in your valuable paper , the melancholy loss of Jifefrom eating poisonous mushrooms , I venture to send yon a simple test , which I have practised for many years , and for which I am indebted to an old herbalist . Before peeling the mushrooms , pass a gold ring backwards and forwards over the skin . Should the bruise thus caused turn yellow or orange-colour , it is noisonous , but otherwise it is quite safe . I have tried repeated baskets of mushrooms in this way , some turning yellow , others retaining tbe usual colour , though in other respects to all appearance the same . Every mar ' Tied woman has a gold ring to test the mushroom thus or a sovereign rubbed on it will have the desired effect . " .. .. .

DISASTROUS SKIPWRECK 8 . S Monday -Inieigei . ee has reached here of tbe disastrous loss of the Apollo . screw steamwas an lron-built vessel , and , in consequence of the rapidity and success of her trips , wal deemed one of the finest " screws" that entered the Thames . She was of between 500 and 600 tona burden , with engines of nearly 200 horse-power , and was the joint property ofthe two companies , as we understand , who own the large fleet of steamers that are engaged in the cattle trade between Rotterdam and iKmdon . On Saturday forenoon , about eleven o dock , she left Rotterdam for the Thames , with a heavy cargo of cattle and provisions She had on DISASTROUS HHTDWDwntro
. board seventeen passengers , among whom were three ladies . There were also five drovers . Her crew , including Mr . Smith , the nmter , the chief and second officers , engineers , Ac , amounted to about twenty-five . Hor live cargo consisted of about 169 head of cattle and perhaps 800 or 900 sheep , and in the lower part of her hold was stowed a vast amount of provisions , butter , cheese , &c . In her ordinary course she would have reached Brewer ' s-quay , just above the Custom-house , on the following day ( Sunday ) in time to land her live stock , for Smithfield-raarket . On the ni ^ ht setting in , the wind got up rather strong from the north-east . It was , however ., favourable for the vessel a course , and she therefore had the ad ran .
tags of both sails and screw . Just before two o ' clock in the morning , and while proceeding probably at the race of twelve miles an hour , she struck on the Kentish Knock—thirty or forty miles from the entrance of the Thames . Mr . Smith , the master , adopted tbe most prompt efforts to back her off . He resorted to every possible stratagem to free her from the shoal , but all failed , —the violence of the surf bumping her with much force , and eventually embedding her in the sand . However , one more chance presented itself of saving her from destruction ; the tide was flowing , and a hope was entertained , notwithstanding the desperate character of the weather , that she might be floated , as the water gained in depth over the sand . The violent spa fhnf . swpnf nror haw
. ipeedily lightened her of her deck load , and it was thought that this relief might succeed in getting her off ; but , unfortunately , as the cattle were carried overboard , the bow compartment was rapidly filling with the water which carried away her cargo . Daring this critical period , the captain and part of the crew kept to tbe wreck , and indeed till past high water , when she was sinking rapidly into the sand . The boats were then launched and the usual precautions taken to preserve the lives of the passengers and those on board . About daybreak a sloop connected with this port observed the position of the Apollo , and bore down to her . The passengers having been placed on board of her
with such portion of their baggage as could begot at ; the sloop cruized about tbe spot in order to rescue Mr . Smith and those who Continued on board the wreck . The change of the tide altered the situation of the steamer , and her front compartment being filled , it was seen that she was foundering at the edge of the sand . A rush was then made to the boat , and as tbe master , and those WuO had continued with him , were making for the sloop , the Apollo went down . This was between seven and eight o ' clock . The sloop then made for this place , which she reached in the course of the evening , when the whole of those rescued were safely landed .
At present it is difficult to state the real cause of the unfortunate disaster . Mr . Smith and his officers are represented to be very steady , careful navigators . The Dutch pilot was on board , but hU duties are only confined to the Dutch coast , and it would seem that on nearing or reaching the Thames an English pilot is not generally employed until the vessel reaches Gravesend . The night is stated to have been exceedingly boisterous ; and at times ifc is known that compasses on board iron vessels are not so accurate as could be desired .

ALARMING COLLISION ON THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY .
A fearful collision happened to two excursionist trains on thi 3 line on Monday evening , attended by the most disastrous , and it is feared fatal , consequences . The trains which met with the disaster were crowded with hundreds of visitors to the Crystal Palace , and , considering the great danger they were exposed to , it may be deemed a most providential circumstance that a frightful sacrifice of life did not ensue . On Monday evening between five and six o'clock an up train of trucks , laden with coal , was suddenly brought to a standstill at the Hornsey station , in consequence of the engine which was attached becoming disabled from some CaUSB Or Other . As SOOU as the moving of the train was found to ba impracticable with the means
then at command , the station-master adopted the most prompt measures for having the usual precautionary signals placed at the rear of the ttucka , and seeking tbo aid of tbo pilot-engine from town . In a short time an up'luggage train appeared in sight , and on arriving near the station was duly stopped , the coal-trucks of course obstructing its progress to London . Attention was then drawn to the safety ofthe up excursion trains ,, their usual period of passing that portion of the line having nearly arrived . In addition to the ordinary long-distance semaphore signal , a man wa 3 sent down the line some distance behind the luggage train with a flag and lamp , and the next train that came up was that filled with visitors from Hull , Grimsby , Boston . « fcc , which
was safely stopped . Further precaution was then adopted , and behind this third train , which was brought to a stand still ; two men were sent along the line , one to the extent of upwards of 1 , 000 yards , with orders to exhibit the stop and danger signal , which the men said they duly complied with . While this was going on , every effort was used to move the coal trucks one way or the ether . Unfortunately the line at present has no electric telegraph ; but at length the pilot engine arrived , and with all the despatch possible under the Circumstances , the coat train was got under woigh , followed by the luggage train . Tho station being clear , the Exhibition train from Hull was signalled to oome up to tho platform ; but the preceding train being only so short a distance ahead , it was
necessary to detain it until they had been some way on the road . The usual rod-lights were out , and it is stated that the man who had gone back more than 1 , 000 posts remained at his post . However , the Hull train had not been standing many minutes before another filled with excursionists from Leeds , York , &c , and driven by two engines , was observed to be coming up behind it at a rapid rato . It was obvious that the long danger signals had not been noticed , and we may perhaps as well mention here that neither ofthe trains in their ordinary course was appointed to stop at Hornsey . The consternation that prevailed on the Leeds train coming so close in sight almost beggars description . On tho cry being raised , "A train is coming behind you , move on , move on , " an attempt wa 9 made lo put
the Hull passengers m motion , but scarcely had the engine taken a few strokes , before another cry was given , a collision appearing inevitable , " jump / jump . " Several did so , and ia a few moments the front locomotive of the York train came in fearful contact with the rear of the Hull carriages . The shock is described to have been of the most formidable character . The last three carriages of the Hull train were second class , and , as we are informed by an eye witness , they were thrown about upon ono another and shattered almost to pieces . Happily their framework and couplings held , and to this fortunate circumstance may be attributed the preservation of the lives of the unfortunate occupants . The excitement and confusion somewhat subsiding , attention was immediately directed to the injured passengers . The Rev . Mr . Smell , of Fleet , near Holbeach in Lincolnshire , who had come up to town to visit tbe
Exhibition , iraa removed in » dreadful state of suffering . He had sustained a concussion ofthe spine , an injury which utterly prostrated the whole of his lower extremities . With every care he was removed to the neighbouring railway hotel , and was promptly attended by Dr . Hands of the village of Hornsey , and other medical gentlemen . Mrs . Sarah Reynolds , of Tyler-street , Hitchin , who was accompanied by her son and daughter , received much injury . She was pronounced to have a leg fractured near the knee joint , and fractured ribs . Her son and her daughter were also injured about the face and lega . Mr . Jackson , a medical gentleman , who had come up from Lincolnshire , was found insensible . He had been seriously struck on the head , and blood was flowing from his ears . Mr . Ffolkes , a gentleman living in Upper Southwickstreet , Connaughi-street , also sustained conhisionB . There were many others who suffered seriously in the train . The driver has been suspended .

Expbbimbst on Hydrophobia . —M . " Rochet d'JIeficourt , the distinguished traveller , has brought from Abyssinia the root of the fticumis Abyssinica , said to be possessed of the valuable property of curing hydrophobia in dogs . In presenting it to the Academy of Sciences , M . d'Hericouvt stated that he had himself seen , in Abyssinia , several dogs in different stages of madness completely cured by having the powder of the root mixed with food . The communication was received with the liveliest interest , atiG experiments -were ordered to hewnae .
In the last sitting ofthe Academy a report was presented by the director of the Veterinary School at Alfort , stating thai he had tried the remedy on four mad dogs , but without the slightest success . Ho added , that fearing the roots might have lost their virtue , he procured one of a living plant n'om theJardin desPlantes , but that it too was inefficacious . Further experimentSj are , however to pe made , and more roots are to' be got from Abyssinia ; There seems no reason why what is a remedy lor a dreadful malady in Africa should not be a remedy for the same malady in Europe also . — Literary

I told him his father was alive , and he said he had seen him passing along the streets , and he also said that people had seen him going along . I asked him whatpeople , and hesaiu liedidnot know , but they told him so . lie seemed wandering —he seemed labouring under a delusion . He sat on the sofa , and after a short time he got up and said he must go again , and [ he got his hat and did not stop to snake hands with any of us . We thought this very strange . During the whole of this period he did not attempt to take my life , or
anything of that kind . He did not appear to have any feeling of jealousy . He then went away , and returned about eight in tbe evening , when the accident took place . I was sitting at the window that looks on the pond , and my mother was in . tiie garden watering the plants . I was writing a letter , and heard some footsteps . I looked under the window , and I saw him at the gate , although it was dusk at the time . I saw there was a wildness in his countenance . He was quite alone . I got ; up to go to the door , and he got in before I could get to the door . He was very much agitated , and I now wish I had prevented him from getting in . He said , " Miss Brand , are you alone ? " andl I did net answer ; and he then repeated the question . I answered " No , I shall fetch my mother , who is
close at hand . ' Ho said , "Oh , no , I don't wish that . " He took hold of my right hand . I tried to get away , to go into the garden , as I thought he Wanted tO See mother , lie seemed frightened , he trembled greatly , and he was very much excited . He then put his right hand in his pocket , and I then screamed out . I saw something in his hand which made me scream . lie then struck me imnieliiately with a dagger ia the cheat . ( The da » gci i was here produced ; it was about nine inches long . ) He struck mo at first li ghtly , but the second time more violently and forcibly . It slipped off the vital part of the side , and therefore hud no fatal effect . He still held mo by the hand ; I was foiating , au < l fell down . He still held my hand , lie tried to stab me
again , but Icaught the blade wilhmy hand . He tried to stab me another time , and I forced away that also . lie made a third attempt , and then stabbed himself twice new the abdomen , -very violently . He then fell down at the lower end of the room . My mother wns crying " Murder , " He was on his hands and knees , trying to get up ; he struck my mother , who received the blow on her chest . My mother is now getting better . My mother then ran out to the street . All this occurred in the kitchen , which fronts the street , and looks towards the railway bridge .

The Forthcoming Registration . — A new Act for the registration of voters , passed in the late session , will come into practical operation in the forthcoming revision of the list of voters , commencing fronvMonday next . The new law is entitled ' ? an act to mend the law for the registration of certain persons commonly known as ' compound householders , ' and to facilitate the exercise by such pei'tons of their rights to vote in the election of borough members to serve in Parliament . " By the Reform Act it was lawful for the occupier of a house ofthe required value in a city or borough to claim to be rated to the relief of the poor in respect of premises whether the landlord was or was not liable to be rated , and such occupier paving or tendering the rate payable was to bo put upon the list of voters . " And whereas it is often
inconvenient and impracticable for such persons to make continual claim in respect of each rate , and many persons are consequently deprived of the franchise ; " it is , therefore , enacted that no person so claiming to be rated , and paying or tendering on on or before the 20 th of July the rates due on the 5 th of January preceding , shall be required to make any further claim in regard to any future rate upon the premises in respect to which his vote in any such election shall arise , but shall be entitled to be put on tbe list and to be registered as a voter , provided he has occupied tbe premises and paid the rates and taxes required . By attending to this act . on the ensuing revision compound householders will Bave themselves a good deal of trouble , and possess the franchise without renewing their claim .
An Uhbavaixkd Pianoforte Plater . —We find the following extraordinary statement in the National •'— " Count Orlofi has just presented to tho Emperor of Russia an extraordinary musical phenomenon in the person of a young Wallachian , called Frederick RoJtz . This man has been born with four hands , each having five fingers . He was brought up by a clergyman , who taught him to play on the organ , but the young man in the course of time made a p ianoforte for himself of considerably greater power than that of ordinary instruments . He enjoys excellent health , and , with the exception of his hands , presents nothing strange in his person . It is only from ths elbow that the malformation commences . The arm there divides into two limbs , each ending in a hand with % double supply
of fingers . These additional , arms are regularly made , and the only remarkable point observed by medical men is the immense development of the deltoid muscle to tbe summit ot the shoulder . The clergyman who had brought up Roltz at his death left him his small property , and the young man immediately purchased diamond rings , with which he loaded hia twenty fingers . It was with them so adorned that he performed before the Emperor of Russia , who expressed his surprise at the musical powers of the young man . Roltz , it is said , is shortly to visit Paris .

——M—^«————«—— m —^^ m ^ THE SUICIDE . ( From the Weekly Vindicator . ) " There is nothing for us , after all , but the poorhouse , " exclaimed Rody Hanlon , as he strode from his cabin door one bleak morning in December ; "don't tell the children , Bridget , where I ' m gone , or they'll be fr « ttin' about the eight weary miles before me , an don ' t be distressin * yourself , for I'll be back aBBoon as I can . Sure anything ia better than the starvation wo have endnred , and though we'll be heart sorry leaving the poor cabin where many happy days were spent , may be we'll return to it in better times . " " My heart aches , Rody , " returned his wife , "to think of yourquittin' home , cowld and fastin' , —your lips are blue with hunger , and you ' re staggerin' with the weakness ; but bit mm * onminn
nor sup there ' a not within the ; four walls this black mornin '—oh , my God ! what is to become of you ?" " TVhiat . achora , " said her husband , " or tbe children will be up from their sleep . I ' m able for the journey , and in God ' s name let me away . " He was soon ou the wefc gloomy road , a solitary wanderer lighting his way against the raging storm and pelting sleet ; drenched to the skin , and half-famished with cold and hunger , he could barely retain his footing . Toiling on for nearly three houvs , he at langth camo in sight of thepo ' orhouse ; and let me here pause to draw a comparison between to day and some hundred years back ; then the pilff " m on his way sought with hopeful eyes through the dim distance the monastery's sheltering walls . Within that blest asylum he knew that a welcome
awaited him ; no pampered officials were there to insult his poverty , by dealing out to him as to the stalled OX their measured bounty ; no niggard hand admMatered refreshment to the tirtsd traveller , but now the poorhouse walls arose before him , cold , cheerless , and uninviting —cold as the hearts : that doled out a forced charity . No wonder ltody Hanlon sighed heavily as he reached his destination—no wonder his heart misgave him as he lifted tho heavy knocker . The door was opened by a well-paid porter , who regarded tho intruder as much as to say , " Why do you presume to be cold , and weary , and hungry ; what right havo } O \ 1 to display your wants at this door ? " Rody inquired if he could be admitted , telling of tbe fearful destitution he had
sufferud . The man replied that the house was already more than sufficiently full , and that ho was sure it would be quite needless in liim to apply for admission . The poor suppliant was so overcome with this intelligenno , that for some moments he lost all recollection . When he recovered himself he found that the door was closed , and no other alternative remained but to crawl from the place . Clasping his Lands wildly , and commending himself to the protection of Heaven , he prepared to pursue bis journey homewards . Foot-sore and nearly faintin ? from hunger , he thought but little of his own sufferings , but the blinding tears gushed from his eyea on remembering that those who were dearer to him than life , were condemned to a renewal of the horrors of starvation . How was he to
meet them ?—bow to tell them that hope was dead for them , and that even tho chilling comforts of tho poorhouse were denied them ? The little Strength io retained was fast diminishing , and suddenly tbe fear of not being able to reach home awoke in his mind . He was still five miles from his cabin—in die days of health and prosperity that distance would have seemed to him as nothing , but now , WOl n out and sinking under premature decay , the road seemed to him interminable . The snow was beating down on him , retarding his progress with its blinding flakes , and bringing the wintry day to an untimely close . The sky was almost black us night , for no ray of light could penetrate through the heavy clouds that were piled one above another . A splendid mansion appeared at a short distance from the road , and thither Rody
bent his steps , hoping to obtain some relief , but he was repulsed , and rudely told to go to the poorhouse where he would be sheltered and fed . He turned from the inhospitable door , and advancing a few paces sat down beneath a treo to ease his tired liixbs . There were a number of sheep hud . died together in the field where the unhappy wandirer rested . They were considered as the property of the proud man who had refused his prayer for help , and had been purchased with the very lifehood of tho troddon-ilown peasant . They belonged not to the oppressor of tbo poor , neither did the land wbereon they lay , but he , in violation of the laws of justice , said that they were his ; in like manner he believed that ibe strength , the bone , and sinew , nay , the very lives of hia serfs were a
part © f his possessions . Rody knew this man ' s character , and he knew that the flock before him was not justly his , and he thought if ablo he would allot to bis own use one of tho sheep . Could he but , succeed in removing it to his cabin it would be the means of relieving for a time tho wants of him and of his family , but some absurd objection arose in his mind—he feared that , according to the creed of landlords , he might bo considered guilty of thofit—he could not discern the difference between maliciously depriving others of their lawful property , in order to gratify avarice , and the pardonable act of depriving them of their unlawful
possessions , or rather of a portion of their possessions , that the lives of human beings should be saved—the lives given by God , and to bo held until required again by him . —Lest the temptation should prove too much for him , he crept from his temporary place of repose , aud , almost mad with hunger , proceeded to a turnip field . Here the savage cravings of starvation might have been partially appeased , but then the turnips were not his , he had no right to them . Did no warning voice whisper that the life he was about to throw away waa not his , that he had no right to waste and fling away the gift of God .
The land belonged not to the usurper who claimed it ; to the produce of those broad acres he waa in no way entitled ; the land waa given for the support of all . Rody did not know this , or perhaps he bad forgotten it , for his sinking ; limbs again bore him from the scene of temptation . And now in the cold , dank ditch the dying man is stretched , the refuse of humanity , one of the overplus population , another victim of oppression and tyranny . The snow flakes are weaving a rich shreud in which to wrap him . Let them fall faster —let them cover tho ghastly face , the protruding
bones , the awful eyes glaring from the socketsfaster and faster still , for tue grey hair ia waving in the wintry blast , and the convulsed mouth is working in the agonies of that fearful death . Through the gathering darkness anxious eyes were peering , but still no tidings , of tUo absent one . Bridget Ilaalon and Her children , wild with affright , counted the lagging houra until day dawned . " May bee , " said the weeping mother , "they have kept him at tho poovhouae until moruiu \ seeui' how wake he was . Don ' t cry children . Who knows but ho may send for us all ?" T
" 2 > o , mother , " returned tho eldest boy , "I ' m sure something has happened to him , or he would have come home last night rough as it was , ho knew that we could not rest and him away . " He was interrupted by the entrance of a neighbour who anxiously inquired if Rody had returned . " Not yet , " replied his wife , " did you hear anything about him V' The man paused , and the dis « tracted wife implored of him to reveal the worat at once . Amid the cries and lamentations of this bereaved family , the truth was soon told , fee had been found that morning lying dead beneath a snow drift . Tho occurrence was recorded in the news papers as another case of destitution , the
frightful details were duly related , and the unhappy event attributed to what ?—the failure of the potatoe Excellent device—convenient falsehood . Who dpes not know tbat if every potato was rotted off the face of the earth , there is food enough and to spave for the support of all—that is , if each received his just share . Tho verdict of " death from starvation and exposure to cold" was easily recorded , and there was an end to it—it waa but one additional case ! How many suc cases will occur ? There will be another , and another , and so on to the end , unless the saving truth is speedily burned irito men ' s souls , that ' slaves make tyrants ?" Finola .

Flogging is tiie Abmy . —In a report made to the secretary at war by Lieutenant Colonel Jebb , the Inspector General of military prisons , which has just been printed in a parliamentary paper , the subject of flogging in the army is brought forward . II ; seems that iaipriaonment in lieu of corporal punishment has been beneficial in its operation , notwithstanding the contrary opinion of . a number of military officers . Colonel Jebb states : «• If the views of the most experienced officers in Her Majesty ' s service as to the detering infl-aeneeof corporal punishment were-eorrect , a great increase of crime in the army might have been anticipated as the necesssary consequence of limiting the power of courts martial , and materially diminishing a mode of punishment deemed to be snost efficacious for the maintenance of discipline . Ifc is , however ,.
satisfactory to se&that the result hasnot been unfavourable , and though it may partly be attributed to the encouragement given to good conduct , the better class of msn who have entered the service , anu the partial diseliarge-of somo of the worst characters , yet , taking all this into , account , I think experience has sufficiently ahovm that imprisonment for military offences has answered the expectations that were formed of it . " In 1845 , the year pre-MioYiBtotUe establishment of prisons , the number of oonviotions by court martial , was 9 , 954 , and 652 corporal punisments were inflicted . In 1850 the convictions were 9 , 30 ( 5 , and the corporal punishments 238 . Tho effective force was about the same in each year ; in 1845 , 125 , 252 , and in 1850 , 125 , 119 . Last year there were 495 lashes inflicted by the visitors for serious oflences , and tho number of prisoners admitted into military prisons was

WRECK OP A SPANISH MERCHANTMAN OFF MARGATE . Margate , Sunday Night . —During the last twenty-four hours heavy gales hare been blowing off this coasfc , and it is feared that many wrecks have occurred , The result has been tbat several crews of the intrepid boatmen of tho district have put out to sea , with the view of endeavouring to render assistance to any vessel that might need it , and one , at least , has been successful in rescuing tho lives of a number of their follow-creatures , who otherwise would probably have been consigned to a watery grave . The lugger Nelson , commnndedbyj . Knight , with a crew of three picked boatmen , cruising in the neighbourhood of tbe Sunken Light ; observed , about seven o ' clock this mornintra flag
, of distress flying from a boat" at some miles distance , and immediately put off to render assistance . At a quarter to eight they reached the boat , and found itrconta 5 nni |[ nine" Spanish sailor ? , and to be in an almost sinking state , the stern being completely stove in . The unfortunate men having been taken on board the Nelson , it was ascertained that they comprised the crew of the Spanish brig Cervante 3 Capt . Felix Loyo y Castro , from Christiansand to Barcelona , with a cargo of salt-fish , ¦ which ran on shore on the Long Sands at half-past eleven last night . The crew stood by their vessel
until five o'clock this morning , when , finding that the vessel was going to piees ? , they . took to the only boat left to them out of three , in which they remained until they were picked up by the lugger , their boat at that time being about twenty-four miles from Margate , eixfrom the Sunken Light , and eight from the Kentish Knock . The rescued creir having been refreshed with hot eoffes and other necessaries , were conveyed to this place , and received under the care of mine host Walker , of the Queen ' s Arms Hotel , where every possible attention was paid to their wants . II is worthy of remark that their brave deliverers have no claim
for compensation , though had they brought in as many dead bodies , they would have received 53 . each . There can be no' doubt , however , tbat the Spanish government will reward them ; and we are happy to be able to state that several visitors here entered into a subscription to reward them .
