TRIAL el , STEAM' CARRIAGES.—The Liverpool papers continue the account of

this interesting competition to Wednesday the 14th, being the eighth day. Wednesday, Oct. 7.—Messrs. Braithwaite and Erickson's engine, time Novelty, proved itself to-day to be as good (proportionally) at drawing a load as running without one. It drew, in one hour, three times its weigrit, a distance of DI Silks: The carriages of Messrs. Stephenson, Ackworth, and Brandretb, were Use. The weather became wet, and the railways clogged with mud, which moo also on the course this day, and took several trips, but merely b w y a Use.y it necessary to suspend the prosecution of the experiments before the day had half elapsed.

Tea FIRE Ks:sm.—Monsieur Chabert first exhibited his performances in Lon- don in 1827, having been previously a resident in Dublin, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Liverpool, &c. In the early part of the present year he took the benefit of the Insolvent Debtors' Act, and was thereby released from debts to a considerable amount: having, as he stated, carried on the business of a commission merchant, &a He was opposed by counsel, on behalf of Messrs. Preston of Edinburgh, haberdashers, from whom he had received muslins to the value of nearly 4001. hi the course of his examination, "Chabert having stated that he had travelled :di over England, to exhibit his performances, in 1827 come to London, and ex- hibited at various places," the following dialogue took place :—Counsel—" Did vou get into a hot oven?" Chahert—" Oh, no ; it was only half hot." Coun- sel—a Did you drink boiling hot lead ?" Chahert—" No; I only put it to my lips!" Counsel—" Did you not profess to drittk Prussic acid?" Chabert- eyes; I professed it—that's all." In answer to further questions, he stated that he had a counting-house at St. Dunstan's-hill, but he had no property except a wife and child ; that when the time for paying his opposing creditors had ar- rived, he was apprehensive of being arrested, and he therefore removed the goods and his books in a coach, and on arriving at the place where he intended to 'deposit them, he saw an officer peeping in at the coach-window, when he imme- diately leaped out of the other window, and absconded till the following Sunday. The above statement shows at least that Monsieur Chabert is a very ingenious person.—Morning Chronicle. PREACHING THE GOSPEL AT BILLINGSGATE.—A Mr. Osgood, who said lie was employed by the Religious Tact Society, and was anxious to administer spiritual

benefactions to the poor wa:ermen and bargemen. in the name of the Lord, has been admonished by the Lett Mayor that he must neither receive money nor preach in Billingsgate dur.ng church-time, or he would suffer the penalty of vagrancy, and also be suoject to punishment for disturbing the peace. Mr. Osgood thanked the Lord Mayor for his admonition, and said he should preach gratis. The Lord Mayor—" Very well; mind we understand each other."

RESTORATION OF TILT JEWS—Baron Rothschild has engaged to furnish to the Turkish Sultan the enormous sum of 35,000,000 piastres, at three instalments, 'without interest, on condition of the Sultan's engaging, for himself and his suc- cessors, to yield to Baron Rothschild for ever the sovereignty of Jerusalem, and the territory of ancient Palestine, which was occupied by the twelve tribes. The Baron's intention is, to grant to the rich Israelites who are scattered about in different parts of the world, portions of that fine 'country, where he proposes to establish to establish seieniories, and to give them, as far as possible, their an- cient and sacred laws.—letter from Smyrna

Accounts from Mr. Scott, the agent to the dovernor-General in Assam, com- municate the melancholy intelligence that two British officers, Lieutenants Bedingfield and Buriton, who were residing for the benefit of their health at Maslow, have been cut off by the hill people. The full particulars are not yet known. The principal members of the Nunclow Rajah's family had coine in to Mr. Scott, and expressed their abhorrence of the treacherous act ; which, however, was perpetrated, it is said, in his own presence.

THE SEASON IN FRANCE AND BELGIUM.—It appears from the accounts received from different parts of France that the weather has been every where so extremely unfavourable since the month of June, as to have proved detrimental to almost eYery production of the soil. The rivers Lys, Dyle, Escant, Meuse, Oise, and Seine, have all overflowed since August; and almost all the northern depart- ments have been in a state of inundation. Even many of the high-roads, which, throughout France, are raised more or less above the level of the ground, have remained some time under water. In many parts the cut grain has incurred severe damage, and later productions were not expected to reach maturity, even should the weather during the present month prove more than usually auspicious. Hops are everywhere in a hopeless condition, and the barley crop is extremely defective. The potato crop has likewise shared in the general detriment ; and this is the more lamented, as the qualites of that root as a fit substitute for bread in cases of famine, have begun to be fully appreciated in France, and a larger

portion than usual of potatoes have consequently been sown this year in some parts of the country. In Belgium the weather has been also very unpropitious throughout the season. Nevertheless, the crops have, in general suffered much lessthere than in France, and Otis is ascribed to the superiority in agricultural knowledge and industry possessed by the Belgians. The quality of the new wheat seems to have suffered is the upper parts of the Netherlands, and the crop there has not been, upon the whole, equally prosperous.

UTILITARIANISM ILLUMINATED BY FIIRENOLOGY.—We find great fault with the Utilitarians for neglecting the lights which phrenology is calculated to throw on their principles,—although, if we recollect aright, the Westminster at one time intimated an acquiescence in its doctrines, and an intention to take up the sub ject fully. Mr. Combe, in his admirable work on " The Constitution of Man," has demonstrated the principles for which they contend,More fully and satisfacto- Hy to our mind, than the Utilitarians themselves have done. In discussing their principles, they appear to confine themselves too much, if not entirely, to their effects in the increase of the stock of worldly goods. Their principle, when stated phrenulogically, is just this,—that individuals, a despotism, or an oligarchy, in mulching themselves by oppressing and cheating their neighbours or the com- munity, are acting under the influence of the selfish, or animal propensities, in defiance of the dictates of the feeling of justice and benevolence conveyed to 'rerY sane mind by organs implanted by the Creator in the human brain ; and that this cannot be done without sooner or later bringing down condign punish- ment upon the transgressors; for the government of the universe is constructed spot the supremacy of the moral sentiments under the guidance of the intellect. In addition to the diminution in the mass of wealth to which a course of injustice and cruelty inevitably lead, and to the hatred and retaliation which it is calculated k excite, Mr. Combe points to other punishments which are reserved in this world for the transgressors of the moral laws. There is both positive and ne- g,alice Punishment: they deprive themselves of the feeling of delight which a fl.ue exercise of the moral sentiments never fails to communicate, and they are !able to be visited with remorse from the operation of the faculties which they hale outraged.—Dundee Advertiser.
