The effect already , produced by Father Mathew ' s ^ isit to Manchester is * indeed great The publicans ' receipts in Bome parts of tbe town have been reducsd to an incredibly small sum . There are some 'ranlts where they do not receive so much by £ 40 or £ 50 per week as they did before the apostle ' s visit " The pnblic bouses and beer shops , in fact , seem deserted . ' The maboj ; ess of Bute Das given a piece of land at Cirdiff , as a eemetij for the Jews , in that part of Wales , anfl tbe gift is particularly acceptable to the members of that persuasion , as hitherto the Israelites have been obliged to convey the deceased members of their families all the way to Bristol for interment ,

Justice Wightman threatened her with impriscntnent , bnt tbe old lady was steadfast , and was finally discharged , the grand jury finding the bill without her testimony . There was a BiOT , on the 12 th of Jnly , at Kingston , in Canada , and a boy was unluckily killed . The riot had its origin in tbe excitement caused by a party of Orangemen , who bad been celebrating the anniversary of the battle of the Boyne , at one of the hotelB .

CteRBD Provisions . —From a Parliamentary return of the quantity of cured provisions of all kinds imported into the United Kingdom from foreign countries and the colonies , from the 5 th of January , 1843 , to tie 5 th of July of the same year , we take the following results : — Beef . Pork , not Hams . Hams . Bacon . Cwts ... 25 , 414 16 , 843 4 . 394 € 7 FROM THE quarterly table jnst published , it appears , that of all the towns in England , Liverpool stands highest in the scale of mortality , being fall fifty per cent above the average of the whole kingdom . So far from any iEoprorement being evident in the sanatory condition , it appears we are rather becoming worse , for the table shows the three months ending 30 th ef June
last , to number one hundred and sixty-nine deaths more than the average of the five preceding spring quarters . - Lamentable Accident . —On Saturday , Mr . W . Robins , coo $ Mtf , of the Lye , was going towards Stourbridge -with a cart loaded with nails , drawn by a spirited young horse , which had not been used to tbe shafts , and on descending the hill near the Lye church , became restiff ; in endeavouring to restrain him Mr .

Sixgclol Cirothstakcb . —Proving tbe old adage , that a cat has nine lv ? es . —On Monday , the 24 th of July , a cat , pursued by a number of boys , ran into the shop of Mr . Lock , upholsterer , Angel-row , Nottingham , and took refuge in a closet , afterwards forcing her way through a small aperture between two joists , wiere there was scarcely room for her to lie-dowo , and without the probability of getting anything to eat . Here she remained till Monday last , when she crawled out ( more dead than alive ) to the astonishment of tbe shopman , "who bad almost forgotten the circumstance , it haying been in that situation juBt a month . The cat is likely to recover . Effect of MAMTFAcrcKiyG Prfssures . —MannfBCtnxiug pressures tend to increase improvements
in machinery . Driven to threadbare profits , the manufacturers seek every means of redacicg the co 3 t of production ; and hence it has occurred , that during the las * five or six years there has been more improvement in machinery than had taken place for twenty-five years before that period . We believe we are correct in stating , that some eight or cine years d&ee , the mazinrom capability of the spinning mules did not exceed the power of turning abovo 640 spindles . There are Belf-acMng mules now in use that will turn upwards of 2 , 000 spindles J A mill of the present day , with improved machinery , is capable of taming off a given qaandty of work at about onethird less expence than it could have accomplished sevea vears sace ; in of her -words , a factory which in 1836 required an outlay of £ 600 per week wages , can now throw off the same quantity of work for £ 400 per week . We heard one respectable manufacturer declare that if his forty-inch cotton was
made fast to a vessel at Liverpool , and the vessel allowed to mate the bast » f her way to Canton , he oould make the cotton m fast as the ship could Bail * way with it , or he vre « M consent to have nothing for it . Bf , allowing Ac tdinwy voyage of four aonths , and erienlstiM- Ike ¦ umber of mries the ship would sail , it wonld require tveeniyjour miUiotu . qf yards of clolh to keep pac « with tie ship , or about 8 , 530 yards per hour workk * the whole tune night and day .

ASHTON-. TOTDEB -LTNE . — SPINNEBS * MeBTIKGS . — Several meetings of the operative ootton spinners have been held during the last fortnight , for the purpose ( as stated ) of establishing a fund to enable the unemployed spinners to get on the land ; and it is said that upwards of £ 20 , obtained by subsoription , has been deposited in the bank for this purpose . —Manchester Guardian . Mad Dog . —On Monday morning as a dog-fancier named Jones , was proceeding along Millbank with a valuable dog % the animal on seeing the river instantly showed violent symptoms . of madnesp . biting at every
thing it could come near ; the owner instantly after this seised hold of the dog , but the animal bit him in the arm . and he threw it into some deep mud by the side of the river , when a boat-hook was procured from Mr . Fry . the coal-merchant , and the dog was forced nnder the the mjid and suffocated . Several persons had a narrow escape from being bit by the dog ; and one person in running away , foil down and severely injured bis knee . The arm of Jones was very much bruised , but fortunately he had a thick fustian coat on , which prevented bis arm from being lacerated , and perhaps fatal consequences following .
At the Central Criminal Court , on Monday , Barnard Gregory , the editor of the Satirist , pleaded guilty to the charges against him of libelling the Buke of Brunswick and Mr . Vallanoe . Mr . Bodkin , the Counsel for the prosecution , stated that no sort of compromise had been entered into between bis clients and the prisoner to induce him to take this course . He was liberated on bail to appear and receive judgment at tbe next sessions of this Court , when he will present affidavits for mitigation of punishment .

with forging and ottering a bill of exchange for ; £ li 0 , with intent to defraud Lyon Samuel .

Waiters . He was transported for seven years .
A Moskrn Miracle—The other evening a vagrant-feJlow was taken into custody at Lincoln , for disturbing the public peace , together with his wife , a red-haired sjbil , who pretended to be deaf and dumb , and to tell fortunes by signs . It appears , however , that the potency of the liquor they drunk had loosened the lady ' s tongue , for ebe cursed and swore , and abused the police in grand style . They were accordingly accommodated with a night ' s lodging in the lock-up , bat on the following morning , when brought before the Mayor , the females tongue was again mute . They were discharged , on condition of quitting the city immediately . —Two or three
¦ weeks ago , tbe Stamford Mercury announced that the planet " Juniper would be very conspicuous in the evenings for some months to come , and doubtless old Worsdale , the Lincoln conjurer , would affirm this to have been a proof of its influence on his sitter sybil . These pretenders to read the mysteries of futurity for others , can never discover ii for themselves ; liberally dispensing riches , marriage , and offspring to others , the old conjurer could not discover who it was that upset his water-butt , nor could he foresee a night ' s lodging on the b&ri boards of the police station . .
Brussels papers states that Holland has lost one of its most honourable citizens—the House of Orange one of its most able servants—the diplomatic body one of its most distinguished members—M . Falck , minister of the King of the Netherlands , who died at Brussels of an attack of the gout . The demise of the minister adds to the chronological list one more celebrated nan * whose death w * n n «««» ci « ned by that tormenting disease , gout . No doubt is entertained that the several valuable lives which have recently fallen victims to this jvfflictibg disease might have been spared to society had they taken Blair's Gout and Rheamatio Pills .
Alapmikg Fire at WESTMUiSTEB—On Sunday night , shortly after ten o ' clock , a fire broke out in the stabling in the occupation of Mr . Blatcbley , egg merchant , situated behind the dwelling houses in Lower Chapter-street , "V auxball-bridge-road , Westminster . Although the fire was discovered at a very early stage , and although some of the inhabitants and police exerted themselves to extinguish the fire , they were unable , for in about five minutes after the outbreak the flames had extended to the carpenter ' s stores adjoining , belonging to Mr . Scott , and also ta
a dwelling house , belonging to the same gentleman , in Lower Garden-street , and from thence they communicated to part of Mr . Higgins ' s premises , in the same street , all of which were at one time blazing : away at a furious rate . Fortnnately the engine belonging to the London brigade , from the station in Horseferry-road , was soon brought to the spot , and an immediate and abundant supply of water was procured , which was poured in a great body on the flames , which prevented theiT further extension . By much exertion on tbe part of tho firemen , and an admirable Bupply of water , the fire was entirely subdued by a little past eleven o ' clock .
Public Opinion . —Dr . Johnson has pronounced " public opinion" as the most equitable tribupal to which we can appeal ; and one to whose verdict all minor decisions should bow in humble submission . The propriety of this sentiment is , of course , fully apparent , and cay individual who would establish the decision of a single critic , as superior to that of tfee public , would soon brrag about a strange subversion of things . That the majority should Bway the minority ib a maxim everywhere received and adopted , and without such an understanding as this being acted upon , it would be utterly impossible to maintain the order of the commmunny . If then , the merits or demerits of any particular thing , ares to be judged of from the opinion pronouueed by the public at large , the Vegetable Fills of tbe longevist
Parr , may be viewed as possessing properties of no ordinary character . When the proprietors introduced these pills to the worid , they of course , rested upon their own intrinsive qualities . A trial was made—the public judged and approved , and thatj too , in a manner , beyond all precedent . Not here and here alone were they flatteringly received , but the community at largi—( almost with ons voice ) returned a verdict in favour of this invaluable cure . Where , then is the individual who would for an instant call in question the acknowledged efficacy of this inestimable medicine , in opposition to so positive a criterion ? Or who would venture to pronoEnce a verdict of condemnation when he reflects that this grand medical desideratum has so successfully passed the ordeal of "Public Opinion . "
A Windfall . —In tbe middle of last week , an old woman who had resided several years in tbe Newrow , Per th , bnt of whom , as respects the place to which she belonged , her connections , or even her name , farther than that she bore the cognomen of " Mary Duns , " her neighbours knew nothing , died ; and contrary to all expectation , as she subsisted principally on charily , left behind her ninety pounds tied in aa old stocking . The whole was in silver , and principally in half-crowns . Three days after her death iome knowledge of her connections was obtained , and on Sabbath , a sister in poor circumstances made her appearance from Abordeen , whose claim , we understand , wjil not be disputed to the beirsbip of a sum whick will go far to render , her declining years comfortable , she being also aged . — Perth Courier .
Another Destructive Fire . —On Sunday morning , a destructive fire broke out in the private dsvelb ' ng-house belonging to Mr . William Seward , No . 3 , Heath-street , Commercial-road , Stepney . The fixe , when first discovered , was raging wkh fearful rapidity in tbe lower part of the premises , the various inmates being fast asleep at the time . By dint of extraordinary exertion on the part of the firemen , they were enabled to get the complete mastery * of the conflagration in little better than an Hour and a half , but not until the building , with its valuable furniture , &c , was almost consumed .

NBWCASTJiB . —Mr . Kydd lectured in the Chartist Hall , Goat Inn , Cloth Market , on Sunday evening , with considerable efifuot He very ably reviewed tbe Queen ' s speech at the prorogation of Parliament , and showed how much her Majesty and her Ministers are prepared to do justice to the industrious ' classes of theae realms ; and as the Government are not inclined to do any efficient good to the people , Mt . K . ntged the people to take tbeir own case into theit own bands , aa the only means of bettering their condition , and as the most efficient plan to do so , he would advise them to unite fov the acquirement of the Charter as the only mean ' s of procuring juatice .
The Chartists of Newcastle and Gateshead , held their weekly business meeting on Monday eveuiag , Mr . Young in tbe chair . The minutes of tbe previous meeting having ben read and confirmed , Mr . Sinclair stated a suggestion which waa made by some of the Chartists of Ouseburnto him respecting the Chartists of Newcastle , Ouseburn , and Gatesbead , hiring some public place of meeting in Newcastle at shares of 2 ' . 6 d . or 5 s . each , when it was agreed that Messrs . Euableton and Sinclair be appointed to meet the Ouseburn deputation , and enter into tho necessary arrangements respecting such a desirable object , as a public ball to meet in . It is hoped that all who wish Chartism well in Newcastle ,
Oustbarn , Gateshoad , and their vicinities will come forward and take shares in bo laudable an undertaking as the Cbnrtlsts cannot get a place to bold a public meeting now , without paying the enormous sum of 50 b . for each meeting , and it is confidently believed that , in the event of a proper place of moating being procured by the Chartists , it will be of great benefit to the public , so far as doing away with the present monopol / in places of meeting . Having disposed of a good deal of local business the meeting adjourned until Thursday , when they should meet to expzeiw their opinions respecting tbe different plans of Organize . ion , and forward such opinions to tbe Conference in Birmingham .

FEARFUL OCCURRENCE ON THE TRENT , AT STOKE . The banks of our beautiful river , the Trent , present so beautiful a variation of exquisite scenery , and the bosom of its waters affords such charms fur those who love aquatic sports , that there is no wonder u taste i ' or these pleasures lias latterly grown amongst the youog persons in tbis locality . Friday last being a day of relaxation , several of the young moa employed in our office , proceeded down tlie river in the Bartcouta , a private pleasure boat , on au excursion , inexpectation of enjoyingja delightful day's sport at fohing , &o . They sailed merrily and quickly down to Stoke , a village on the left bank of the Trent , eight miles from Nottingham . Having arrived at
this beautiful part of our noble rivor , they anchored the vessel , and went to the Boat Inn , to procure some refreshment . j Thinking they had now prooeeded far enough , they dispersed themselves , aocae of them going a littta funher'down to fish . Three of thom , however , Mr . Thomas Rawson , Mr . William Whitshead , and Mr . Thomas Thompson , took i the boat aud crossed the river , to rusticate amongst tho fiolds and woods on the opposite bank . They had not been eujoyiug themseJvea i& this sweet : spot more than half an hour , when their pleasurable feelings vanished , upon hearing a piercing cry of -distress on tho Sioko side of the river ; and ou looking towards the quarter
from whence . it proceeded , they observed a horse and cart rolling and tossing about in the wide waters , with a man and a boy in the cart , in a very agitated state , and in danger every moment of being washed awav by the excessive Btrength of the current . Mr . Whitehead , who was the only one of the three who coald swim , plunged into the river , and swimming with unusual vigour , crossed it , caught hold of the horse ' s head ( it being rapidly approaching towards the centre of the stream , acd struggling fearfully ) and elevating its nostrils above the surface of the water , with his left hand , and swam with his right hand towards the bank from whence they had started . ¦
From the manner in which the animal seemed to mako its way when thus lei , it may reasonably be supposed that they would all have safety escaped to the shore , had not an unforeseen obstruction arisen At various places in the Trout , long walla , or weira , are raised as far in the river as possible , to make it navigable at low water mark ; one of these lay a few yards before them , and upon reaching it , and discovering what it waa , Mr , iWhitehead mounted upon this , and lifting up the ] animal ' s head , enabled him to place hia fore feet j firmly on this embankment ; then , taking the b ^ y from his more dangerous position on tho oart , where he clung , half drowned , he placed him beside himself on . tho Weir . The current was excessively rapid , the oart was every moment dragging more heavily at the heels of tho
horse , and although be struggled hard to retain his foothold , and seemed to display the greatest sagacity in his mince ii vres to counteract tne effect of the overwhelming torrent , still it proved too nanoh for him . Ths moment the aniinal lost his footbold and rolled over again into the stream , the females in the vicinity rent the air with lone of the most terrific soreams overheard . But the agony felt by strangers , would be comparatively nothing to what was experienced by the boy , about thirteen years old , himself still on the brink of destruction , with difficulty retaining a precarious footing up to the middle in the wide waters ; and whtn hei saw the cart roll over , he seemed overwhelmed with agony , and repeatedly cried aloud— " See , see I my father I oh save him , save him I" {
For a short time the old man managed to retain his hold of the cart , and a » it rolled over , he still cpntrived to climb to the top ; but the stream quickly taking them more into the dopth of the river , he was washed off ; the anxious bystanders raised a fearful scream , as he sank , apparently for ever ; and he must inevitably have been lost , had not Mr . Whitehead dashed into the deep io his assittance ; a few rapid strokes brought him above the old pan , and diving for a moment he brought him again to tbe surface ; and having placed , his left hand under the right arm of the drowning man , he struck off for tho side of the river , when he agpm gained a footing upon the weir . For a . moment the old man retained his foothold , and but for a moment ; being much
exhausted by hia provious struggles , the stream again w&ehed him away , and Mr . Whitehead again , in a fit of desperate courage , plunged after him ; but he had nearly paid too dearly for his temerity : seizing hold of the dying man incautiously , he was grasped round the nock with death-like agony , and consequently they both sankto the bottom of the river , some yards under water ; fortunately , however , Mr . Whitehead never lost his presence of mind , and now , despairing of being able to save the life of tho unfortunate man , he felt rrfuc antly compelled to . leave him to his fate , in consequence of the rapid failing of his own strength ; a desperate struggle ensued between them , and having succeeded in disengaging himself from the death-clutch of the poor fellow , he rose to the
surface Tho Baracouta had now reached within a few yards , after considerable difficulty and danger ; at this moment a small boat from the ferry also reached tho spot ; observing assistance near , Air . Whitehoad niado towards the Baraooutaj , and was taken aboard by his two friends , in a state of much exhaustion ; at the same instant , tho drowning man , whose snatches and stcu ^ g'o s to retain the hold he had lost , brought him once more to the top of the water , was rescued by t'io ferryman and bis assistauts . The poor fellow pTesrnted a most awful picture ; his face was ; of a livid yellow and black colour , and his eyes appeared to bo starting from their sockets . He ; was convoyed to Mr . Cupilt ' s , the Boat Inn , whf-re , after the necessary restoratives had been used , ho gradually acquired strength , and ia now perfectly
