grounds—it was on those principles—that he undertook to propose to them the health of the Earl of Derby , whose ancestors had many a time been drunk in Preston . ' ' ( Roars of laughter . )—Pimningham Mercury . The Roman Catholic new church of " Our Lady of the Sea , " at Croom's-hill , _CJreeawich , was solemnl y consecrated according to the rites of that Church , on Thursday . Dr . Grant , wie Bishop of Southwark , officiated , assisted by a numerous body of the clergy . The services commenced at seven o ' clock in the morning , and continued till near one . The church is in the Gothic style , and one of the finest specimens of church architecture of modern date , and _k situate in a commanding position on the brow of
Croom ' s-hill . The ehurch is free of debt , with the exception of about 200 ? . The congregation is a large one , including about 600 pensioners . Schools in connexion with the church have been established . The choir is entirely self-supporting , i & clpding the organist . According to the Carlisle Journal , Sir James Graham has addressed the following circular to the tenants of the Netherby estate : — "Sir James Graham , unsolicited , has p leasure in notifying to hia tenantry , that they have his p ermission to hunt and kill hares and rabbits on their several and respective , farms , between hours of sunrise and sunset—the time for killing hares being limited to the usual period , from 27 th September to 27 th February . Neither guns nor snares to be used . This permission will
be continued from the present date until further notice . During its continuance Sir James Graham confidently expects and trusts that such a concession on his part will induce all his tenants , by themselves and their servants , to preserve the winged game on their respective farms to the utmost of their power , for the amusement of himself , his family , and friends . He hopes that they will cordially cooperate with him in putting down the baneful practice of poaching , and would suggest that every tenant , acting up to the spirit of the . obligation contained in his agreement , should , when engaging- his _servants , make it a condition that any unfaithfulness discovered on their part , in respect to the preservation of game , will be considered sufficient ground for immediate dismissal . "
Complaints are made hy tradesmen that there never was known for many years so great a scarcity of the silver currency as at present . The fact is attributed to the very large _exportation of silver that have recently taken place to Port Philip , Melbourne , Geelong , Sydney , and other ports of our Australian colonies , for the convenience of the adventurers at the gold diggings . _jNTofc a vessel leaves the port of London , Plymouth , Bristol , Liverpool , & c ., but takes out a considerable amount of both gold and silver specie , either by speculators who are proceeding to the above colonies for the purpose of making purchases of gold from the diggers , or consigned by capitalists to their
agents at Port . Philip , & c , for the same purpose . It is with much difficulty that the bankers in the city and west end can obtain silver currency to any amount either at the Bank of England or the Royal Mint to accommodate their correspondents in the different parts of the United Kingdom with silver coinage . At Birmingham , Manchester , Liverpool , and other large commercial towns , the demand at the various banks for silver is so great that they are unable to supply parties with more than 100 _Z . to 2007 . To meet this urgent call for _sdver , it is stated that the authorities at the Mint intend having a considerable amount of silver immediately coined .
In a few weeks will be completed a second line of electric communication , in connexion with tho continental telegraph , between Dover and the metropolis . It has been promoted by the European Telegraph Company , and ono of its peculiar novelties is , that it is being laid down along the old coach road through Deptford , Greenwich , Shootershill , Dartford , _Gravesend , Strood , Rochester , Chafham , Sittingbourne , Favcrsham , Canterbury , & c , to Dover . As may be known , tho South-Eastern Railway Company are the proprietors of tho present telegraph , and as tho company would not sanction the formation of a second lino of telegraph , fcjie _pleux was devised of laying the wires under ground along tho road , similar to those which are convoyed under tho metropolitan streets to tho several telegraph stations . Sanction was obtaineel of tho different
reiael trusts , and somo 200 or 300 workmen aro now activel y ompleiyeei day and night on tho works . Tho copper wires , six in number , aro encased in gutta percha ; anel being deposited in a kinel of trough , constructeel of _kyaniseid timber , it is laid in a tronch _efug in the road , somo foot and a half from tho surface .

A Meeting Was Held At Braeiford On Tuesd...
A meeting was held at Braeiford on Tuesday evening to form an association for the repeal of the taxes on knowledge . A provisional committee was appointed , with power to add to their number . The Danish war steamer Mercure has been in Sunderland Dock this week , taking in wire rope from Messrs . _JNTewall and Co ., of Gateshead , for the submarine telegraph to connect Copenhagen with the mainland of Denmark . Spain , resolved to hold on to the island of Cuba to the last , is having two steamers of light draught constructed in England . One of these was launched on Saturday , at Rotherhithe . Both are to carry two thirty-two pounders . The Primero , just launched , will only eiraw five feet of water .
The official Vienna Gazette of the 10 th contains a leader , from which it not only appears that it is the intention of the Austrian Government to let France act with perfect freedom with respect to the question of the proclamation of the Empire , but that Austria even approves of that transition as being favourable to the cause of tranquillity and order . There are two iron railway stations at Birmingham , which have been built for exportation to the capital of Brazil , and intended for the Bio de Janeiro Railway . Each is 200 feet in length hy 70 feet in width . They are divided into two compartments , one for goods , and the other for passengers , and are in every respect complete ; so that if the line is finished by the time they arrive at Bio , travellers may be standing in front of the pigeon-holes , asking for tickets , within four or five days afterwards .
The Anzeiger Zeitung of September 11 , has the following — " We have just received intelligence that the new Lloyd ' s steamer , Australia , which set out on her first voyage to Alexandria on the 27 th of last month , met with an accident . After having performed the voyage to Corfu in an unusually short time ( thirty-eight hours ) , the left wheel unfortunately broke , on the 30 th , just as the vessel had reached Cape Orio , in Candia , and she was therefore obliged to return to Corfu , where she landed her passengers and the mail , to wait there for the next steamer .
Unhappily , this delay will likewise affect the Netherlands mail , which was forwarded by the Australia , and we must be content with receiving our news from India and China , in this solitary instance , happily , by way of Marseilles , instead of receiving it as usual on the 20 th . An old _legend , however , current among seamen , accounts for the accident —though not exactly upon scientific principles . The accident mainly occurred because the Australia left Trieste on a Friday , and had , moreover , a Franciscan monk on board—a combination most assuredly enough to sink the vessel . "
Volunteers are scarce in Lancashire . The overseers of Manchester have only secured 100 volunteers for tho militia from that township . Of tho number named , twenty have been in the army before . The rest arc young men , weavers , packers , and others from tho various trades in the town : but the number altogether is below tho proportion required for the town , which contains 300 , 000 inhabitants . In Salford forty _\\ ave volunteered , the population being about 100 , 000 . The agricultural districts cut a better figure . Upwards of five hundred men havo accepted as volunteers for tho militia in Warwickshire , and considerable numbers aro still offering themselves at Warwick , Leamington , Coventry , Coloshill , and other places in tho county . Only one vqluntoer for tho militia has appoarod at Bristol ; at Southampton thero were two .
The Committee of Privy Council for Education , says tho Times , havo recently issued circulars to tbo _inspecteirs of schools , directing them tei aid , by every means in their power , tho system proposed by tho . Department of Practical Art for causing elementary elrawing to bocomo a part of nationid education- It is intended to teach tho very simplest elements of drawing in all schools willing to boar a small proportion of the necessary expense , unel then to admit the qnnlifiod scholars to study in a central elrawing _scheiol in every town . Tho importance of tho now seheuno thus sot on loot will be , fully appreciuteel when it is remembered , that until tho public ignorance in sueh _matters is _reimovod , no _eixtonsivo or _succe . _Msful effort can bo mado to raiso the ; standard of taste ; in design among our _ltianul * i .. e , _l , i . rr > rH _.

Mr . Arnold has dismissed the summonses against tho l _' _eiitovhiB , charg ing them with cruelty to _homou ; but in delivering his decision , lie strongly reprobated the practice of attaching animals te _> balloons ; _concluding , ( . hat it was cruelty , but not cruelty within thi ) latter of tho Act .
Mr. Arnold Has Dismissed The Summonses A...
Essex , which approves of Smithfield , haa nobly endeavoured to put down Poitevin and Simpson . The weekly exhibitions in the streets of London are legitimate ; the casual flight of Europa for filthy lucre is " very tolerable and not to be endured , " as Dogberry hath if . Ilford is situate in the county famous for horned cattle , Sir John Tyrell , and Major William Beresford . At Ilford , on Saturday , Mr . Simpson , M . Poitevin , and Madame Poitevin , were tried before the magistrates and fined BI . for having ill-used and cruelly treated a heifer , by suspending it to a balloon , and ascending with it , whereof the heifer died . Let the decision , be posted up prominently in Smithfield , and a copy sent to Sir John Tyrell .
Mr . David Mathews , and Mr . Robert Lawrence Walker , the former one of the " great unpaid , " the latter a gentleman farmer , were both in love with Miss Elizabeth Anne Elliston . But as she could not marry both , one must be rejected ; and that direful destiny befel Mr . Robert Lawrence Walker . Whereat , the latter was wrathful , and on the morning of the happy day , sent a challenge to Mr . David Mathews . Thus , Miss Elizabeth Anne was disappointed , and Mr . David placed in a dilemma * However , he could not choose but appeal to a brother magistrate ; and Mr . Jardine settled the matter by binding Mr . Robert Lawrence Walker over to keep the peace for six months . Payther ignominious , though , wasn't it ?
The other day , a man whose baby died of English cholera , wished , of course , to have it buried . He therefore did what is usual , paid the fees demanded by the church as a condition for the performance of that ceremony . But when the body was taken to the burial ground of St . James ' s , Bermondsey , the Rev . Mr . Woodward refused to read the burial service over it , alleging that it had not been baptized . It had heen registered ; that would not do : the body remained unburied . John Sheppard , the father , asked Mr . Combe whether the clergyman was not bound to fulfil his contract by reading the burial service ? Mr . Combe could not say ; it was entirely a question for the Ecclesiastical Court . He thought the applicant had better take the body to a cemetery , and save all
further bother . Sheppard said , he had no occasion to take it to a cemetery , as he had seen the Reverend Mr . Gibson , the minister of Bermondsey Old Church , on the subject , and he at once consented to bury the child , although not baptized . Mr . Combe told him that if such was the case , he had better take the body to the Old Church . And here comes the point of the story . John Sheppard put if ; very well . " But I have paid the fees to the Rev . Mr . Woodward . " said he , " and he refuse ? to return them . What am I to do with that ? " Mr . Combe . —Why summon him to the County Court , as you would any other person . He has received fees for a . certain purpose , and , not performing his contract , he has a right to return them . If you have any other complaint to make of his conduct , you must go , to the Ecclesiastical Court .
The Doncaster St. Leger, A Very Poor Rac...
The Doncaster St . Leger , a very poor race , was run on Wednesday . Daniel O'Rourke was third ; Harbinger second ; and _Stockwellj a winner in a canter by ten lengths . Mr . Pugin , the architect , died at _Ramsgate on Tuesday evening . Thomas Yates , residing at Liverpool , went homo and found his mother-in-law drunk . He knocked her down some steps into a yard , and killed her . The Journal de Toulouse of the 9 th inst . announces tho death of the celebrated Madamo Laffarge . After quitting the prison of Montpellior , sho repaired to the baths of Ussat , in tho Ariego , anel thero she died on tho 7 th instant , in the 37 th year of her age .

Threo young men wero _elrowned in tho Thames on Sunelay morning . They wero tipsy ; a hoavy swell from a passing vessel caught tho skiff and swamped it . Ono wus saved .
