Motions have lately been made in several masonic lodges in Russia to receive Jews as brethren , and never to inquire into the religious faith of persons who wish to become Freemasons . These motions , however , found much resistance , and were the cause -of serious disputes , whieh , now , by a final decision of the Grand Master , the Prince of Prussia , that neither Jews , nor Jews converted to Christianity , can be received any longer ; but that persons of the latter class who previously had been received in the order are to continue th&rsin , has been settled .

      Attempted Suicide . — On Friday afternoon an extraordinary EUtfauon was created on Hamptoncourt race-course by a desperate attempt at suicide which was made by a Mr . K in one of the refreshment-booths under the following circumstances —It appeared that the unfortunate gentleman ' , who resides in the neighbourhood of Hampton-court , had foolishly been tempted to take several sums of money in play at various gaming tables , at the last of which he fennd himself minns altogether upwards of j £ 60 Utterly unconscious of the merciless character of the Bconndrels by whom he had beenfleeced , the wretched victim implored the ruffians to restore to him part , at least , of what he had lost , stating that he wished , if possible , to keep his imprudence from the

      knowledge of hi 3 wife . This entreaty was , however , heartDy langbed at , asd further remonstrance was met only by insult . In about a quarter of an hour afterwards , Mr . K entered a ^ refreshment booth , where some gentlemen were eating , Bandwiches and drinking champagne , when he suddenly exclaimed , " If * omebody will lend me a knife , 111 cut my throat , " One of the bystanders , thinking he was joking , immediately snatched up a-knife and handed it to him , when to the utter horror of all present , the unfoitunate gentleman inflicted a severe wound on his throat before the knife could be taken | from him . He was immediately conveyed to the house of a surgeon in the neighbourhood , where he remains in a very dangerous state . "

      Fbaotjs o » the Excise . —On Saturday morning an extensive seizure of soap , upon which the duty was sought to be evaded , took place on the premises of Messrs . Price / Brothers , wholesale druggists , S Mary Axe . It appears that a notice had been sent to the Excise-office by Messrs . Price . intimating that thirty cases of soap were prepared for exportation ; in consequence of which Mr . William Moseley went to the premises for the purpose of inspection . _ The number of cases specified in the notice were pointed out , in order that the official seal might be put upon them , but in going over the premises he discovered a frame that had been recently filled , to which his

      attention had not been called . This served to excite Buspioion , and on closer examination he found that one of the coppers had been lately ** cleansed , " which left no doubt on the officer ' s mind that the soap in the frame had been recently and rapidly prepared , in order to evade the payment of duty . Under these circumstances Mr . Moseley seized the whole of the soap , upwards of 7 , 0001 b ., whioh , together with other matter in varions stageB of preparation , the frames , furnace , coppers , Sto . were immediately transferred to ; Her Majesty ' s Btores . Frauds in the manufacture of soap have become so frequent of late , that the Excise Commissioners have determined te enforce the law in all cases with the utmost rigour .

      Sacrilege .- ^ On Tuesday night or Wednesday morning week a daring robbery was committed at the Manchester Collegiate Church , by one or more persons , who have hitherto escaped detection . It appears that at about half-past five o ' clock on Wednesday morning the apparitor , whose duty it is to ring the bell at six o ' clock , was proceeding along the churchyard for the purpose of admitting BOmo plumbers to the roof of the building , vrhen his attention was called to a window on the south side of the church , which bore marks of hating been forcibly broken . Upon opening the doors he procured the attendance of several polioemen , some of whom were stationed outside of the window , and others entered the church . Upon unlocking the large door of the

      Chapter-house , adjoining that part of the building called Cheetham ' s Chape ] , they found the whole of the cupboards unlocked , doors broken open , and all the gowns , &c . lying on the floor . The large silver mace with ebony handle , tipped with silver , anil the front of which was inscribed "Christ Church , 1794 , " belonging to the Dean and Chapter , and the churchwardens' mace , together with a bottle of wine and some biscuits , had been taken away . The maces were locked in a box inside a strong cupboard , with oak front , and it is supposed the thieves used a strong broad-pointed chisel , which was found near the spot , to break it open . A remarkably strong oak chest

      with three common looks and a padlock , ib which were kept deeds , < fec , was also broken open , and the contents scattered about the floor . The thieves no doubt expected a rioh booty in the shape of communion plate ; but they were disappointed , none of the communion plate being kept in the church except during those days ; on which the Sacrament is administered . Considering the number of looks broken open , and the great opposition which some of them would present to the robbers , they must have been in the building no ; less than from two to three hours . A reward has been offered for the conviction of any of the offenders .

      Mtstebiods and Distbessixo Occubberce . —On Tuesday , the 13 th . instant , a sailor , named William Ross , belonging to Inrergordon , was found lying in a state of insensibility , at the road side , about a quarter of a mile ' south of Conon-bridge . He was conveyed to Mr . H . Mackenzie ' s inn , at Conon , and medical aid having been rendered him by Mr . Donald Ross , Bingwall , the poor fellow was so far recovered as to be able to state , thai , as he was sitting on the parapet by the roadside , a man came past , smoking his pipe . 1 The stranger was going towards Conon , and he asked him for a light for his pipe , when the man , without answering , gave him a severe blow , which stunned him , and caused his falling over the parapet ., There he lay , apparently dead , until discovered . The parapet is about ten feet from the ground . When questioned by the procurator fiscal , he adhered to his statement as to the cause of his injury . The description he gave of

      this inhuman assailant is , that he led a black horse , with ihe bridle over his arm—wore a brown coat , with clear buttons , but to his knowledge he had never seen him before . The most prompt and energetic measures are in operation to discover the person ; but , we are sorry to say , hitherto without effect . Next day , Ross was much worse , and all efforts to prevent a _ fatal termination having proved unavailing , he expired about one o ' clock , p . m . Upon a post mortem examination of the body by Doctors Ross and Mackid , it was ascertained that the young man ' s neck had been broken by the fall , and his head severely injured . On Thursday , the body was removed to tbe house of his parents , at Invergordon . The deceased was a dutiful son , and bore au excellent character . He had just served out his apprenticeship , and was on his way to Inverness , to procvre a situation , when he met with bis untimely fate . —Edinburgh Witness .

After rummaging about the ship for some time , they discovered 189 casks of manufactured tobacco , weighing four tons , concealed amongst the cargo . In other parts of the ship they also found several boxes of cigars , a small box of tea , some silk , and some boxes of Eau de Cologne , the duties on which exceeded £ 5 , 000 . The vessel and contents were then seized , and her master ( Captain Barratt ) and the crew were arrested , and conveyed before the sitting magistrate at Exeter , where the case was fully gone into , terminating in a penalty of £ 100 being inflicted upon

      each of the defendants ; and , in default of payment , they were committed to the House of Correction for six months . The vessel , it afterwards came out , was loaded with coals at Newport , in Wales , and during her passage to Exeter she touched at Guernsey , where tbe contraband goods were shipped . She has since , by : order of the Commissioners of Customs , been condemned . At this port , en Tuesday last , a seizure was made on board of the Frenoh smack Nonvelle Sociei £ , M . Hay , master , from Cherbourg , laden with eggs and fowls , of about 100 gallons of brandy , which was found secreted among the cargo . The whole of the ship ' s company were arrested , and remain in custody . Near Grimsby , on Friday last , upwards of 4 , 000 lbs . of tobacco was seized on board of the sloop Pink , of London . The capture was made by the revenue cutter Lapwing . The crew are in custody . —Hampshire Telegraph .

At eleven o ' clock the chair was taken by C . Bindley , Esq ., M . P .: The immense Hall was about half full ; the majority being of tbe fair sex . and the greater number of them of the sect called "Friends .

      and was called to order by the liberal portion of the meeting ) , and the Rev . J . Pennington a man of colour , bnt a native of Hartford , in Connecticut ; who asserted that when he viewed the degradation of his race in the slave-holding states , tbe only thing that prevented bis advising them to extreme measures was the opinions he held r&latiye to the unchristian practice of war . Mr . Joseph Hume also addressed the meeting at considerable length upoD the "financial View of the case , " ehowiiig the enormous expense vyith which our late wjts had been attended , and detailing his thirty years annual epposilion to the items in the Budget connected with the war establishment He was opposed

      to every description of war , unless it was strictly in defence of liberty ana national integrity . This modification of tbe views of the Bociety met with some dissent Mr . Hume concluded with calling upon them to vote for no Member of Parliament that refnsed to sign an anti-war pledge . Mr . Hindley being compelled to vacate the chair , expressed his entire concurrence in Mr . Hume ' s sentiments . Another chairman having been elected . Professor Walker , of Ohio , J . Buckingham , Joseph Sturge , Messrs . Tappan , Sams , Buffum , and the Rev . S . Bnmett addressed the meeting in support of theTarious resolutions .

The following case , ] which occurred a fevr days ago in the churchyard of Wick , shows pretty clearly that an interment of this kind had taken place , and . that , top , while the person was alive s—% jF aTe . * d' ££ er removing part of the lid of a oomn whilst digging a grave , he was struck with the strange manner in which the ; bones and skull were placed , and calline another nerson to look at it .

      they removed gently the whole top of the coffin , when itt was distinctl y seen that the body appeared to be drawn do « n into the coffin , th > arm bones stretched up over the head , and the latter turned on its side near to the thigh-bones . The chips and shavings , too , which are usually placed under or about the head , appeared to be all pushed down towards the legs . From inquiry , it was ( ascertained to be the remains of a man who was buried about twenty years ago , and said to have died of a ; fainting fit , and from the attendant circumstances , no doubt is left in our mind that he was interred while in a state of syncope . — John O'Groat ' s Journal .

      Extraordinary StneiDE . —Mr . Higgs held an inquest oh Saturday at the King ' s-Head , Enfield , on view of the body of Mr , Joseph Vaughan , many years in the commission of the peace for the county of Middlesex . It appeared from the evidence of several of deceased ' s domestics , that for some days past he had appeared to be in a remarkably gloomy and desponding state of mind ; Between eight and nine o clock on Thursday morning last , deceased ' s family was thrown into a state-of alarm by its being discovered , on his not appearing at the breakfast table asiusual , that he had : secretly quitted the house . The most painful suspicion being thusexcited , search was instantly made for deceased in the neighbourhood ! of the premises , and he was almost

      immediately found drowned in the New River , the water being so clear that the corpse ? could plainly be seen lying at the bottom . The body was immediately got ashore , when it was further discovered that deceased , to render : his fate quite certain , had tied his legs together tightly with a rope , and had also coiled a piece of cord round hi 3 wrists with an iron weight of nearly 301 b attached to it . It is believed that the loss of a very large sum of money by speculation in business had preyed upon deceased ' s mind and caused him to commit this rash act * It may also be added , that the unfortunate gentleman ' s mother was deranged , and that his brother committed self- destruction . The jury , after some deliberation , returned a verdict o £ " Temporary insanity . "

      Escape ] op a Wolf . —On Wednesday night , shortly after eleven o ' clock , when Mr . Wright ' s keepers were preparing for the removal of his managerie from the Green , some incident occurred which so startled one of the black Russian wolves , that he became restive and violent , Suddenly broke his chain , and ran out of the show ; The appearance of such an unsocial creature at large , of course excited no small commotion and terror amongst those who were still lingering at the exhibitions , booths , and stalls- Onileavtag the menagerie , the wolf rau down the Green ; and momentarily placed himself in one of the booths , from which all other tenants speedily decamped . iHe then took his departure and made his way , amid screams and confusion , down the bazaar ;

      proceeding from thence through Union-street and several other streets , returning down Hertford-street and- again ! towards the Green , going at a sharp pace up the Warwick-road towards Stiviohall . It was now evident that there might jbe some difficulty ia re-capturing this dangerous animal , whioh had so far evaded and tired down bis pursuers ; and some more systematic plan , for the purpose , became necessary . Accordingly , an excellent wolf-dog was taken from the managerie for the purpose , and after having scented a ( track of some miles , brought the keepers to a field near Stoneleigh , where , after a harrassing chase of several hours , the fugitive was rather lured than overtaken , aud brought back to his cage . — Coventry Herald .

      Fatal Accident at Carlisle . —On Saturday evening last , an inquest was held at the Three Crowns Inn , Botchergate , Carlisle , before Mr . Carrick , coroner , and a jury , ori view of the body of the Rev . Mr . Da vies , of Penrith , who was killed in attempting to ascend the omnibus , which conveys passengers'to and from the Railway Station . It appeared , that on Saturday afternoon , about half-past one o ' clock , he was proceeding from Mr . G . H . Head's bank to the railway station , to meet his son , who he expected from Newcastle . When about half-way down Botchergate , the omnibus overtook him , and he waived to the driver to draw up until he ascended . The driver was in the act of doing so , when Mr . Davis suddenly made towards the

      omnidub , and , in doing so , came in contact with one of the wheels ^ which apparently knocked him down , his head coming in violent contact with the grouDd . He was # ot ; up instantly , and placed in a chair ; but the people assembled , seeing that he was dying , conveyed him into a ] neighbouring house , where he died in a few minutes . The deceased , we understand , has lately been subject to fits , and it is not improbable , that he took one at the time be approached the omnibus ; for an old man who observed him Stated , that he staggered like a drunken man . It was difficult to say , from the" evidence produced on the inquest ,

      whether he was injured by the omnibus to such an extent as to cause death ; or from the fall , which roust have produced severe concussion of the brain . Verdict , " Accidental death . " A few minutes after the melancholy accident , the deceased ' s son arrived from Newcastle , and on calling at Mr . Hargreave ' s the carrier ' s warehouse to forward his luggage to Penrith , he was informed of the awfully sudden death of his . father . The jury sent a recommendation to Mr . ; Hamilton , at the Bush Inn , to replace the driver of the omnibus , who had been suspended in consequence of the accident , as no blame whatever attached to him .

      FbightftJl Catastrophe . —Yesterday ( Friday ) intelligence ! reached this city that an awful accident had occurred in the neighbourhood of Dankerton , whereby the lives of many individaals were sacrificed , while others who had escaped with life were lying ; in a desperately hopeless state . The scene of the calamity was the coal pit known as Bray ' s Down-pit , about seven miles from Bath , and three from Dunkerton . From the evidence of Win . Evans , it appeared that as engineer , ho had been putting some new works to the engine , and on the evening of the accident he had carefully examined it to see that all was right ; everything waa in perfect order * . Mr . Wait , one of the proprietors of the works , was with him at the time ; and the engine

      was then at work . He left at half-past five o ' clock , and about half-past eight o ' clock he heard of the accident at ihe pit . He went to see what was the matter . Saw the engineer , and asked him if he had put the plug in to keep the drum of the engine in gear ? He said ho had . The ; witness then proceeded—I asked him where the plug was ! he said he did not know . I then asked if he had screwed up the nut ? he said he had not . The plug being left out would have caused this accident . The engjneeT had not been drinking . There ia a plate placed to run over the plug to keep it in its place ; if not placed over , it might have been driven out of its place . John Berryinan deposed—I am bailiff at Bray ' s-Down coalpit . Last evening , about eight o ' clock , I

      gave the deceased their candles and other things . This was at the pit , just before they went down They were drawn up for me to do so . All appeared right , and I askod the engineer if all was right 1 He said , " Yes . " I stood by the pit till I thought the men were down about twenty fathoms , whoa I heard them cry out . I looked , and saw the drum wa 3 running . The engineer was quite sober All the rope fell down with the men . They fell about fifty fathoms . I sent four meu down the pit to bring ihem tip . There were five , men kiiled on tho spot , and one died about three hours after . Two more are lying iji a most dangerous state . The engine must have been in gear , or it could not have let down bo far . Nothing of the kind has ever

      happened at the jp it before . This being the whole of the evidence , the Jury , after a short deliberation , returned a verdict of " Accidental death . " It appears from the account given of the accident by Mr . Wait , the managing proprietor of the works , that it is the duty of the engineer to place the engine " in gear ;" that is , to connecfl the drum-wheel with the flywheel by means of a plug provided for that purpose , and to , secure which in its place there ib an iron plate and a nut . And in connexion with this part of the , subject , it ia stated that the engine was constructed by the Messrs . Acramans , of Bristol , and that it combines the latest improvements in construction providing for the safety of the coliiers ; it has been in work

      about two years , and has hitherto given the most perfect satisfaction . The men having attached themselves to thejehain by means of a hook and a piece of rope forming a noose for the reception of one leg , they were lifted off the platform by the engine , with the view to its being removed from the mouth of the pit 3 » nd were then let down ; but , after descending about 100 feet , the : drum-wheel was observed to ; be revolving rapidly , having by some unaccountable means become disconnected with the wheel which ! should have regulated their descent ; and in consequence of the frightful velocity with which they descended , the unfortunate men were dashed to pieces upon a projecting stage-erected soma few Fathoms from the bottom of the pit . The haffioa

      of tbe poor ! sufferers are—Job . IRionardson , aged 30 , married , ibut no fatally ; Richard Ayleabary , aged 23 , not married ; Jacob Riohardaon , aged 36 , who is married aud a family of six children ; , Aaron ' Dando , aged : 28 , who ia married , but wkfeout a family ; Thoinas Aylesbuxyy aged 25 , vrha has only been married three months ; and Jeremiah Filer , a youth aged' 16 . The appearance of the bodies was not such as ] might have been : expected from the horrible manner in whieh death had been occasioned ; with the exception of Riehard Aylesbury , the faces of the deceased presented no evidence of the frightful catastrop ' ha which had suddenly hurried them into eternity ; their appearance being more that of pattieB who ha < i died peaceably in their beds . — Bath Herald .

      London Smithfieid Cattle Market , Mondat , June 26 . — . Notwithstanding we have to report the arrival of a full average time-of-year supply , of beasts up to our market to-day , there was from the fact of the attendance of both London and country dealers —but especially that of the latter , who purchased extensively for various localities—being large , and the dead markets well cleared of their last week ' s arrivals , an evident improvement in tbe Beef trade , and the prices were fully 2 d 81 bs higher than were those noted on this day se'nnight , while a clearance was effected without difficulty . As to the general quality of the stock here to-day , we have to-observo that that of beasts exhibited an improvement ; , indeed , there was a good number of exceedingly useful and

      well made up Herefords , Devons , Scots , & <; ., brought forward . The Sheep , however , were not in first rate order , and we scarcely ever recollect to have seen so few really prime old Downs in the pens as was the case this morning . But few cases of epidemic wero observed amongst the beasts , but thafc disease was very prevalent amongst all breeds of sheep . The receipts from Norfolk comprised about 1 , 650 Scots , bomebrede , and runts ; from Suffolk , Essex , and Cambridgeshire , 200 Scots ; from Lincolnshire , 90 short horns ; from Yorkshire , 200 beasts ; from the western and midland districts , 180 Herefords , runts , Devons , &c , ; from other parts of England 100 of different breeds ; from Scotland , 240 horned and polled Scots ; and from Dublin , 40

      Irish beasts . We had rather an extensive supply of Sheep , but it was by no means so large as that on Monday last . The Mutton trade was firm , jthougk not to say brisk ; . and the currencies rose quite 2 d per 81 bs ; the best Downs selling freely at 4 s 4 d per 81 bs , at which figure nearly the whole found purchasers . The numbers of Lambs were fair , and they commanded a somewhat improved inquiry . Dowu qualities were 2 d per 81 bs higher , but in the value of other descriptions no improvement took plaee . Calves were in moderate supply and steady demand ,. ata > rise of 2 d per Slbs- Prime small Porkers sold freely ; other kinds of Pigs elowly at last week ' s figures . Wo imports of live stock have taken place in London , or at any of the out ports .

      London Cobk Exchange , Monday ^ Jobe 2 S . — Having a very scanty show of Wheat this morning from Esssex , Kent , and Suffolk , aad scarcely anything fre .-h up from more remote counties , factors displayed a greater degree of firmness than at the close of last week ; the slight abatement of Fridaywas , consequently , recovered , and the business done was at about the currency of this day se ' nnighL We a-re still without any country inquiry for free Foreign Wheat ; aud the millers acting cautiously the JransacUonflwereon quite a-ret ail scale ; holders , nevertheless , remained firm , and purchases could not have been made below last Monday ' s quotations . Wheat in bond was neglected ; the recent arrivals from abroad are being landed on importers' account Flour moved off somewhat slowly , but was certainly not cheaper . With Barl « y we were again very spac ringly supplied : this grain excited some attention ,

      and good distilling aud grinding qualities were generally held is per qr above the rates of thisday week . Holders of M . alt likewise asked more money , and a » fair amount of business was done in the article . The fresh arrivals of Oats were very Bmall , as well from our own coast and Scotland as from Ireland . Factors consequently insisted on aa advance of 6 d to Is per qr , and the dealers' stocks haviHgJbeoome very Ji ' jcht , necessitous buyers had to pay the enhancement . Taere was not much passing in either Beans or Peas ; the supplies being however small of both these articles , previous terms were very firmly maintained .
