Motions have lately been made in several masonic
lodges in Russia to receive J « wb as brethren , and never io 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 conyerfed to Christianity , can be received any longer ; but that persons of the hitter class who previously had been received in the order are to continue therein , has been settled .

Attempted Suicide . — On Friday afternoon an extraordinary suisaiion 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 nnder the following circumstances : —It appeared that the nnfortunate 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 winch he found himself minus altogether npwards of ; £ 60 . Utterly unconscious of the merciless character Of the scoundrels by whom he had been fleeced , the wretched Tictim 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 , heartily l&vgh&d a . t , asd further remonstrance was jnei only by insult . In about a quarter of an hour afterwards , Mr . K entered a refreshment booth , where some gentlemen were eating , sandwiches and -drinking champagne , when he Euddenly exclaimed , " If somebody 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 unfortunate gentleman inflicted a severe wound on his throat before the knife could be taken ! from him .

ALABJI raG Occdhrence . —On Monday last , about thTee o ' eloca . in j the afternoon , a great alarm was created at the Wrks 0 / Mr . Edwards , situate in Pickford-sfcreefcj sAlam'HtreCt * Great Anooats-street , Manchester , by Jthe bursting cf a large grindstone , which burst tnrough a nine-inch wall , and the principal part of it , weighing aboat twt > owt . was driven across the Btreet , into one of the hoiked opposite , when one of the family had only jast placed ber bonnet in the lobby near where the stone came , and with such violence that it burst open the door of the house adjoining ^ doing considerable damage to the property . Fortunately no lives were lost .
Fbatjd 3 ov 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 , Pricey Brothers , wholesale druggists , S . Mary Axe . It appears that a notice bad 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 tot the purpose of inspection . _ The number of eases specified in the notice were pointed ont , 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 suspicion , and on closer examination be 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 iHer Majesty ' s stores . Frauds in the manufacture of soap have become so frequent of late , that the Excise Commissioners hare 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 some plumbers to the roof of the building , when his attention was called to a window on the south Bide of the church , which bore marks of hating been forcibly broken . Upon opsning the doors he procured the attendance of several polioemen , some of whom were stationed outside ] of the window , and others entered the ohnrch . Upon unlocking the large door of the
Chapter-house , adjoining that part of the building called Cheetham ' s Chapel , 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 , ant ) the front of which was inscribed "Christ Church , 1794 , " belonging to the Dean and Chapter , and the church * wardens' 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 Bpot , to break it open . A remarkably strong oak chest ,
with three common looks and a padlock , in which were kept deeds , < fec , was also broken open , and the contents scattered about the floor . The thieves no doubt expected a rich 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 .
Mtstekioos and Distressing Occurrence . —On Tuesday , the 13 th . instant , a sailor , named William Ross , belonging to Invergordon , 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 he able to state , that , as he waa 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 , j 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 the 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 energetio 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 aj 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 > lackid , 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 oh his way to Inverness , to procrre a situation , when he met with bis untimely fate . —Edinburgh Witness .
Extensive Seizure of Contraband Goods . — During the last three or four days , the commissioners at the Custom House have received information of the following extensive seizures : —On Monday last , the revenue officers at Exeter boarded a vessel called the Elizabeth , belonging to that port , reported to be laden with coals . 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 dudes 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
e&ch of tbe 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 , on Tuesday last , a seizure was mado on board of the Frenoh Bmack NoHvelle Socieie ' , 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 .
Peace Convention . —This body has for some time been holding its sittings at Exeter Hall , Strand , and on Monday called a pnblic meeting , Admission by tickets . At eleven o ' clock the chair was taken by G . Hindley , Esq ., M . P . The immense Hall was about half fall ; the majority bting of tbe fair sex . and the greater Dumber of them of tbe sect called "Friends . " Resolutions were unanimously carried condemnatory of war , &b Anti-Christian in character and injurious to the best interests of the human race . Among the speakers were the Marquis De la Rochefoucauld Leancourt , President ef the Society for Christian Morals , who addressed tbe assembly in French ; the Rev . G- Beckwith , Mr . Fry , Dr . Ritchie , of Edinburgh , the Rev . E . Stowell ( who indulged in a violent tirade against the Catholics ,
and was called to order by the liberal portion of the meeting ) , and the Rev . J . Pennington a man of colour , but a native of Hartford , in Connecticut ; who asserted that when he viewed the degradation of his race in the slave-holding stnteB , tbe only thing that prevented his advising them to extreme measures was the opinions he held r&laiiVe to the unchristian practice of war . Mr . Joseph Hume also addressed the meeting at considerable leDgth npon the " financial view of the case , showing the enormous expense with which our late wars had been attended , and detailing his thirty years annual epposition to the items in the Budget connected with the war establishment He was opposed
to every description of war , unless it was strictly 111 defence of liberty and national integrity . This modification of tbe views of tbe Bociety met with some dissent . Mr . Hume concluded with calling npon them to vote for no Member of Parliament th ^ t refused 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 . Burnett addressed the meeting In support of tbe various resolutions . A vote of thanks was given to the Chainnaii , and the meeting adjourned .
HEALTH BETTER THAN RICHES . Away with the boast of abundance and gold ! Away ¦ with the honours which fame wonld bestow 1 To have them , and yet not enjoy what we hold , Can only embitter our life here below . For droopping and lonely , to sickness a prey . And beyond the fond reach of affection to cheer , How dreary the opening and close of the day , And cheerless the change of each slow-rolling year , Ah ! why then , y& weary , who taste not of bliss , Why seek not the nectar whieh health can impart ! "Tis wisdom and life's best economy this ; E'en nature entwines the sweet thought round the heart . Go 1 search for this ^ evrei to garnish thy brow I And , stranger ! thou need ' s not to seek it afar ; The gift which trne { pleasure alone can bestow , Is found in the health-giving Fills of Old Parr .

they removed gently the whole top of tbecomo , when ltiwas distinctly seen that the body appeared to be drawn down 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 shavinga , too , which are usually placed under or about the head , appeared to be all pushfed down towards the legs . Irom 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 , ho doubt is left in our mmd that he was interred while in a state of syncope . — John O'Groa «'« Journal .

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 0 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 asjusual , that he had secretly quitted the house . The most painful suspicion being thus excited , search was instantly made for deceased in the neighbourhood ; of the premises , and he was almost
immediately found drpwned 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 bis legs together tightly with a rope , and had also coiled a piece of cord round hia 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 iinfortunate gentleman ' s mother was deranged , and that his brother committed self-destruction . The jury , after some deliberation , returned a verdict o £ Temporary insanity . "
EscArEj 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- Onjleaviag the menagerie , the wolf rau down the Green ; and momentarily placed himself in one of the booths , from which all other tenants speedily decamped . -He then took his departure and made his way , amid screams and confusion , down the bazaar ;
proceeding from thence through Union-Btreet and severaiother streets , returning down Hertford-street and- again ! towards the Green , going at a sharp pace up the Warwick-road towards Stivichall . It was now evident that there might jbe some difficulty in re-capturing this dangerous animal , which had so far evaded and tired down his 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 , and 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 , on view of the body of the Rev . Mr . Itavies , of Penrith , who was killed in attempting to ascend the omnibus , whioh 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
omnibus , 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 ground . He was £ Ot ; up instantly , and placed in a chair ; but the people assembled , seeing that ho 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 he 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 must 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 ef the awfully sudden death of hisi 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 conBequenco of the accident . ; as no blame whatever attached to him .
FbiohtfCl Catastrophe . —Yesterday ( Friday ) intelligence ! reached this city that an awful accident had occurred in the neighbourhood of Dunkerton , whereby the lives of many ihdividaals were sacrificed , while others who had escaped with life were lying ; in a desperately hopeless state . The scene of the calamity was the roal 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 was in perfect order . Mr . Wait , one of the proprietors of ( he 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 the 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 Jsaid he 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 engineer had not been drinking . There is a plate placed to fun over the plug to keep it in its place ; if not placed over , it might have been driven out of its place . John Berryman deposed—I am bailiff at Bray's-Down coalpit . Last evening , about eight o ' clock , I
gave the deceased their candles and other things . ThiB was at the pit , just before they went down . They were drawn up for me to do so . All appeared right , and I asked the engineer-if all was right 1 He said , " Yea . " I stood by the pit till I thought the men Were down about twenty fathoms , whou 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 men down the pit to bring ihem lip . There were five , men kiiled on the spot , and one died about three hours after . Two more are lying yi a most dangerous state . The engine must have been in gear , or it could not have let down so far . Nothing of the kind has ever
happened at the jpit before . This boing 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 connect the drum-wheel with the flywheel by means of a plug provided for that purpose , and to , secure whioh in its place there « s an iron plate and a nut . And in connexion with this part of the subject , it is stated that the engine was constructed by the Messrs . Acramans , ot Bristol , and that it combines the latest improvements in construction providing for the safety of the coliiers ; it haa been in work
about two years , and has hitherto given the most perfect satisfaction . The men having attached themselves to the chain by means of a hook and a piece of rope forming a noose for the reception of «> ne leg , they were lifted off the platform by the engine , with the view to its being removed from the mouth of the pit , and were then let down ; but , after descending about 100 feet , the ; drum-wheel was observed to | he revolving rapidly , having by some unaccountable means become disconnected with the wheel which i 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 naatos
of the poor ! sufferers axe—Job . [ Richardson , aged 30 , married , ibut no family ; Raohard Ayleabary , aged 23 , not married ; Jacob . Riohardson , aged 36 , who is married and a family , of six children j , Aaron Dando , aged : 28 , who is married , but without a family ; Thomas Aylesbuxy , aged 35 , who 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 Richard Aylesbury , the faces of the deceased presented 110 evidence of the frightful catastroyib . & " which , bad suddenly hurried them into eternity ; their , appearance being more that of patties who had . died peaceably in their bade . — Bath Herald *

London Smithfield Cattle Market , Mondat , Junk 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 —bat especially that of the latter , who purchased extensively for various localities—being la ? ge , and the dead markets well cleared of their last week ' s arrivals , an evident improvement in the Beef trade , and the prices were fully 2 d 81 ba 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-observe > 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 peas as was the case this morning . But few cases of epidemic were observed amongst the beasts , but that disease was very prevalent amongst all breeds of sheep . The receipts from Norfolk comprised about 1 , 650 Scots , homebreds , 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 , rants , 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 oa Monday last . The Mutton trade was firm , . though not to say brisk ; and the currencies rose quite 2 d per Bibs ; the best Downs selling freely at 4 s id per 81 bs , at which figure nearly the whole found purchasers . The numbers of Lambs were fair , and they commanded a somewhat improved inquiry . Down qualities were 2 d per 81 bs higher , but in the value of other descriptions no improvement took place . Calves were in moderate supply and steady demand , ata > rise of 2 J per Slbs . Prime small Porkers eeld freely ; other kinds of Pigs slowly at last week ' s figures . JNo imports of live stock halve taken place in London , or at any of the out ports .
London Gob » Exchange , Monday * Johe 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 Friday was , consequently , recovered , and the business done was at about the currency of this day se'nnight . We are still without any country inquiry for free Foreign . Wheat ; aud the millers acting cautiously , the transactions were on quite a retail scale ; holders , nevertheless , remained firm , aad purchases could nob 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 Barley we were again very sparingly supplied ; this grain excited some attention ,
and good distilling aud grinding qualities were generally held is per qr above the ratea of this day week . Holders of Malt likewise asked more money , and & fair amount of business was done in the article . The fresh arrivals of Oats were very small , as well from our own coast and Scotland as from Ireland . Factors consequently insisted on au advance of fid to la per qr , and the dealers' stocks haviBg . beoome very light , necessitous buyers had to pay the enhancement . Tflere was not much passing in either Beans or Peas ; the supplies being however small of both these articles , previous terms were very firmly maintained .

Under the influenso of contiaued fine w « ather the trade has been very dull ; tbe sale of a . few parcels of Wheat amongc-a the local dealers forms the principal business in fcb&t grain j . and we haje to reduce o' * r quotations by fully 2 d per bushel . Flour , too , bas met a languid demand , and hasbsen offering oa rjiher easier ierm 3 .

Flour is in but moderate request , and to effect sales of inferior ox middling qualities rather lower rates w . ere submitted to . 89 s per sack is an extreme quotation fur choice Whites .
