- A clergyman , named Errington , incumbent of Burnt-• wood , near Lichfield , was routing out some sparrow nests from a pear-tree growing against the wall of his house , on Wednesday week , when a branch broke , and he fell to the ground , dying instantly . Mr . James Fieldon , of the firm of Fielden Brothers , of Waterside , brother of the late Mr . Fielden , M . P ., went to bod on Sunday night in good health , but was found dead a short time after ^ y Ms wife . / He was much respected by the workpeople . He died from disease of the heart . A foot guardsman cut his throat in the guard-room of the Hor 6 p-guards , on Wednesday . Cause unknown . A man fell between the barges of the Templo-bar Pier , on Sunday morning , and was drowned .
The B , ov . Dr . Cahill has addressed another of his violent epistles to , Lord Derby , insinuatingvarious threats of foreign invasion and revenge againstEngland . Manea , a village in Cambridgeshire , was burnt down on Sunday . The inhabitants , with the wreck of their household goods , were driven , to the fields . It was a dreadful scone . There is not a single able-bodied pauper in the Cheltenham workhouse , although the union comprises 40 , 000 inhabitants and 13 agricultural parishes .
Mr . Charles Chalk , of Liverpool , in the rush to get to the train after the races at Chester , was thrown across the rail . He instantly threw himself on his back , and the moving train passed over him without causing the slightest injury . * A woman was sold in Nottingham market-place , a few "a ys since , by her husband , for a shilling , including a now rop e , value sixpence , which , was attached to her nock . — Nonconformist , On Monday afternoon a youth , in the employment of Mr .

On Sunday lio
made disclosures implicating six more ruffians . He has abeady caused the arrest or conviction of twenty burglars , who infested Huntingdon , Lincolnshire , Cambridgeshire , and Northamptonshire . Their exploits extend over thirteen years . One painful fact revealed is , that a policeman on the-Eastern Counties Railway , near Peterborough , was knqeked down and robbed , and , because he resisted , ibis life was taken ; the body was then dragged across , the metals , so that the next train going thereon might run over the lifeless man , and make it appear that the poor fellow had lost his life through such ain accident .
The good folks living in that part of the Old Kent-road near the Canal-bridge , were frightened by an . accidental explosion which took place in the gas-works adjacent . About half-past nineo ' clock , aan ., a large brick building , situated Within a few feet of the largest gasometer , was suddenly rent apart by an explosion of gas that had unaccountably collected and taken fire . The brickwork of the building , a great portion of which was throwac into the canal , was scatteredaborutin all directions , while the woodwork readily caught fire , and rendered it . a work of some danger to the men , who , neyertheleBS , contrived to throw a copious discharge of water upon that side of the gasometer nearest the burning ruins , and in a , short time succeeded in extinguishing the flames . One man is , it is feared , mortally injured ; and four more or less scorched .

Cobb , at Tpllesbury , has become an outcast , ¦ sni . has only been seen by accident wandering about the fields to avoid public observation ; and until last week had not been seen or heard of « i the neig hbourhood for a considerable time , when he was discoveredJby a labburer ' s dog lying under a hedge in the parish of Wigborough , in the Ia ? t . stage of
exhaustion ; his frame being reduced by privation from a state of corpulency to that 6 f a living skeleton , and scarcely able to walk . When observed by the owner of the dog , he begged that some one would Shoot him , as no one would notice him , except with the utmost derision and contempt wherever he went ; and his lodgings had been thie out-houses of the different farmers by night , the hedgerows his places of concealment by day , and bis food Buch vegetables as he could procure in his travels . He is now in the iexden . and Winstree Union-house at Stanway , as a pauper of the parish of Saleot .
It appears from a return to Parliament printed on Saturday , that in 1850 the quantity of spirits exported was 308 , 914 gallons , of which 123 , 774 went to British colonies and possessions , and 185 , 140 to-foreign countries and colonies , In 1861 the quantity exported was 229 , 650 , being a decrease of 79 , 264 gallons in the preceding year .

Polk : 'I meant b y ' Young America' only the spirit of the age , and not trembling limbs and wrinkled brows . Wo think we are old enough to carry the night-key and try ourselves . ' ( Laughter . ) Mr . Chandof
ler replied , that perhaps the gentleman had read more the sacred Scri p tures than of the profane . ( Laughter . ) He would recollect there was a row among the Young Israels , and that Absalom set up younff Israel against tho Old Fogy , his father . ( Laughter . ) IfAbsalom had as bad a head as the gentleman from Vermont ( Mr . Meacham ) , or his head covered with a wig like that of the senator from Michigan , ho never would have got hung on the oak-tree of his father ' s forest , and been piercod through with a dart . ( Excessive laughter . )"

HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK , Thh mortality of tho metropolis exhibits in this return a considerable increaso on that of tho preceding week . In tho week that ended 8 th May the doaths foil to 972 ; m tho week ending last Saturday thojf roso to 1070 .

and there wore froquont showers of rain . In tho ton corresponding weeks of 1842-51 the average number of doaths waa M , which , if raised , m proportion to increase of pppulation , becomes 008 . The deaths of last week , therefore , exooed the estimated amount by 7 « J . Compared with the facts of the previous week , the present return discovers an increase in doafcha caused by ^ emdevenioft from 193 to 834 , whilo in those from diseases of the reBpuffttoryoirgfl ^ tho n uxnbeft ore almdsH identical , lliore k m incroaso from 13 Q to 143 iu doatlw by phthisis .
Diseases of the heart also jose in the two weeks from 87 to 4 Si those of the digestive organs from 60 to T ^ . Amongst epidemics the increasei arises chiefly fromi smallpox , and in the next place from scarlatina . The former malady was fatal last week to 38 children and 8 adults , altogether to 46 persons , ; the latter to 44 . In only four cases of small-pox is it stated that vaccination had been performed , apparently with effect , and in these the ages were as follow : —5 ,-18 , 28 j and 41 y ears . Zymotics in the aggregate produce at present considerably more , than the average mortality of ftie season .

A Queen ' s Mah . ^ — -The Author had "been appointed Deputy Adjutant-General in the Australian Colonies . The following anecdote was related at a regimental mess in Sydney by a gentleman holding a high official appointment in the colony under the crown . Returning home on leave of absence about the year 1847 , he got into conversation with an Irish cabman , who , recollecting his person , demanded respectfully " where his honour had been this long time . " " In New South
Wales / ' was the reply . . " Botany Bay , is it ? " pursued the driver . " Exactly , " said the gentleman . After a short pause , Paddy ' s curiosity overcoming his politeness , he whispered , " Might I make bould to ask , sir , what took you there ? " "Oh ! I went at the Queen ' s expense , " answered tho other , humouring his interrogator ' s evident suspicions . Hero Paddy ' s politeneHS recovered itself , although his suspicions were confirmed . " Ah ! " said he , " thero ' s many a good man gono out that samo wiay . "— Our Antipodes , by Coionki . Munjjy .
The Old WhaxiEB . —My second messmate was an old whaling skipper , with two very young grandchildren , —little fatherless , motherless , helpless creatures , a boy and a girl , who citing togothor all dny , and at night slept in each othor ' s arms ; and who could not bear to bo for a moment out of sight of the old sailor their grandfather . Looking from my berth of a morning through tho Venetians , I felt the moisture riso in my eyes as I watched the l > nl < l and grey veteran taking his little protegees one by one from their common crib , carefully washing and dressing them , combing their flaxen locks , and then folding away their
bedding . During tho day he would feed and tend them , and carve toys for ¦ them with bis pocket knife . And at night , nftor undressing his " little people , " as ho called thorn , lie " coiled away and stowed" their daygear , and put on their night clothes , —bis great rough hands fumbling tho small tapes into all sorts of nautical knots , whioh cost him a world of tremble to undo in tho morning . Then ho placed them in their bod , — side by side generally , but sometimes with their IioiuIk different ways , —and , having " shipped" tho jpnnol to 1
prevent their falling out , Kowould sing them to ' sleep with a low hoarso lullaby , of which tho Words " Yo I heave oh ! " and " Whack Old England ' s foo , " formed tho tmrthen . Then ho listened * to their light breathing , and , assured that they slumborod , dropped his jfurrowed brow on tho bod panel fbr a time , us though ho blessed and prayed for them , and , posting hinisolf on a bench below , ho openod an old chest , and , taking out a well-worn book and putting oit his glasses , he read thcroin HomotimoH for half tho night . — Our Anti podes , by CoJiOwm MuatDY .
