In town Bloornerism comes suddenly upon us , being visible at Brompton and in the West-end squares , distributing bills to the Mothers and Wives of England .

man , about forty years of age ; nnd arrayed in the costly and picturesque costume worn by the highest rank in Persia . The sleeves and collar of his cloak were ornamented with gold embroidery ; the clasp of his girdle was studded with diamonds , and a brilliant Btar was suspended on his breast . He wore the high conical cap of the Persian country . He was accompanied by a dragoman and a servant . An extensive suite accompanied him from Peroia to Turkey , nearly the whole of which he took leave of at Constantinople . " By some bungling his luggage was not allowed to puss the Custom-house without the usual inspection and tax-free . The order from the Treasury permitting it arrived too late , and the Khan reached London minim his carpet-bag , greatly annoyed at so uncourteous a reception . iln

DREADFUL ACCIDENT NEAR BELFAST . Ballyclare is a pretty and thriving little town , situated in one of the most fertile districts of Antrim , about two miles and a half distant from the Ballypallady station on the Bally men a Railway , and ten miles north of Belfast . They have a National School there , apparently somewhat in want of funds . An Excise officer , named Thornley , privately famous in the county for his skill in electrobiology , was asked to g ive a public lecture in aid of a fund for repairing the second national schoolhouse . He consented ; and arrangements were made that the lecture should be delivered on Monday last iu an old papermill adjoining the town of Ballyclare . It is described as an extraordinary rambling structure , consisting of two wings joining in a right angle , and surrounded by a number of ruinous outbuildings , through which to the loft above both access and egress is exceedingly difficult , especially as night . A couple of steep ladders , very hard to climb , formed the means of communication to the loft from the lower chamber , which had been used as a store , and in which old cog- wheels and other pieces of disjointed machinery were lying . About 500 people assembled in this asylum of science . The lecture began and concluded . Several young persons came forward to be mesmerized j a rush was made towards the centre of the loft to
see the wonders ; when a sudden and ominous crack was heard j the floor gave way beneath , opening downwards , and about three hundred persons , men , women , and children , went confusedly through the chasm . Those who had seats on the back portion of the loft , of which the flooring had not given way , were comparatively uninjured ; but nearly all who stood , at the moment of the accident , on that portion which occupied the angle between the two wings , a square of thirty feet , were engulfed in the horrible abyss , and thrown , with the planks of the flooring , and the dislodged stonework of the dilapidated walls , to the area beneath—a fall of no less than sixteen feet—among the hard , projecting , and scattered pieces of machinery which , as we have said , were stowed below . The shrieks of the suffering
multitude , the noise of the falling timbers , the clouds of choking dust which instantly arose , the rush and frantic struggle for escape , produced a scene which will be indelibly impressed on the memories of all who survive it . The accident was occasioned by the breaking of the beam exactly in the centre , and , when it gave way , the flooring shelved downwards from both sides , sliding , as it were , those who stood upon it into the store below . In some places the planks prized up the masonry , and in one spot a considerable mass of stone and brickwork was detached It has since been discovered that if only two feet more of the wall at this part of the building had been displaced , the whole of the wing would have fallen in , and the calamity would have been a hundredfold more disastrous than it was . Two of the unfortunates were killed and a great number seriously wounded . The lecturer escaped without injury .

with respect to it is set at rest . The corps , although not abundant , are of an average quantity ; and the quality , in many districts , is spoken of as being superior . On Saturday night , before the departure of the excursion train to London , one pawnbroker isi Leeds had received on depoHit no Ichh than a buuhel and a half of watcheu ; and this uudden and extraordinary accession of business he attributes entirely to the desire which those who are little able to ailord the treat have to visit the Crystal Palace .

chap . 27 , sec . 27 , which enacted that if any person should at any time hereafter ride by any of the said company's coaches or carriages , without having previously paid or tendered the said company his fate , he should forfeit a sum not exceeding forty shillings and costs . Power was also given to the officers of the company under this section to apprehend and detain such person . The American , clipper schooner , with English colours and the yacht pendant flying , came up to Portsmouth from Cowes on Saturday . She beat up against an easterly
breeze with smooth water in a very few tacks , lying within four points of the wind on each tack . She reached into the harbour , tacked inside the Victory , went out , and returned to Cowes . She was under her three sailsjib , foresail , and mainsail ; her flying jibboom was not out . We now understand that her selling price was only 4000 guineas ; certainly a very moderate sum , considering her very superior achievements , and the very finished and excellent way in which she is built and " put out of hand .
