It is stated on high authority, that Chevalier Bunsen, who left London two days since, had been recalled by the King of Prussia, to occupy an im- portant post now vacant in the Prussian Cabinet. It is also stated that Lord Palmerston has decided upon sending an English Ambassador to Frankfort, (Lord Cowley is spoken of,) whose office it will be to act as me- diator in the Danish question, and to recommend energetically a settlement of that question. He will he seconded in this by M. Bunsen, one of the negotiators of the late armistice. M. Bunsen is replaced here by the Se- cretary of Legation, Prince LOwenstein.—Morning Chronicle.

The Railway Commissioners have granted to the South-western Railway Company an extension of two years to complete the line from Waterloo Bridge to London Bridge.

The fact seems now certain, that the potato crop is again very generally attacked. The disease is serious, however, only in the Southern counties, from Kent to Cornwall. In the Midland counties the attack is slight, and causes little anxiety; and in the Northern counties and Scotland it is still less. Everywhere, too, the sowing has been extraordinarily wide, and the crop is heavy—in many parts enormous.

Whether it be regarded as a worthless hoax, or a wicked device to spread alarm and assist rebellion, the fabricated Irish report, transmitted through the electric telegraph from Liverpool on Thursday morning, challenges a niche in our columns. Liverpool, Thursday Morning.

The following intelligence was received (per special engine) last evening by the editor

of the Dublin Evening Post- " The whole of the South of Ireland is in rebellion.

"The station at Thurles is on tire, the rails for several miles torn up, and the mob intend detaining the engines as they arrive.

" At Clonmel the lighting is dreadful. The people arrived in masses. The Dublin Club leaders are there. The troops were speedily overpowered many refused to act.

" The military at Carrick have shown disaffection, and Alava been driven back, and their quarters tired.

" At Kilkenny, the contest Is proceeding ; and here the mob are also said to be successful.

" No news from Waterford or Cork."

Prince Albert and the Duke of Cambridge had, we understand, a narrow es- cape on passing the Leicester station on their way to the agricultural meeting at York. A goods-waggon, which was marked to be kept back until the Prince's express-train had passed, was by some mistake moved across the line; and while this was being done the pilot-engine to the express came down the line, with such speed that before the waggon could be got out of the way two of its buffers were taken clean off. A minute or so after, the train with the Prince and the Hake followed, when, happily, the waggon was out of the way.—Notts Review.

Her Majesty's frigate Meander arrived at Singapore on the 20th May, after a ran of ninety-five days from Cork, including stoppages at Madeira and Rio de Janeiro. Sir James Brooke and suite landed with the accustomed honours, and were heartily received by a large assembly of European residents and natives.

In a letter to the Times, Lieutenant Waghorn contradicts a statement copied by that journal from Allen's Indian Mail, that the East India Company has granted him an annuity of 1001; and that he is about to retire into private life. Lientenant Wagtorn ' has not up to this moment received= any diettect promise of pecuniary aid from the Company"; though he thinks he ha.e.so_good a claim on them that be will be surprised if they do not acknowledge it. He has sacri- ficed his means to the great object of his life; and as for the inture, he must seek employment instead of retirement.

-As various exaggerated reports have been published by contemporaries of the sum expended by the honoured fourider of St. Augustine's College at Canterbury, in carrying out his laudable purpose, we have authority for saying, indeed we are requested to state, that the amount, which is not yet fully ascertained, is expected to be under 20,0001—Guardian.

Mr. Jelico, a Quaker, having, as agent for a number of persons in Kilkenny and Tipperary, paid the tithe rent-charge to the various incumbents on the properties under his control, has been expelled by the Society of Friends. Mr. Jelico caused application to be made to the Irish Court of Queen's Bench last week for a man- damus to compel the Society to restore him to their body. The Court held that it had no jurisdiction.

- Dr. Wells, the American gentleman who discovered the anaesthetic property of ether, has perished at Hartford in Connecticut, by his own hand. He had been placed in confinement on a charge of vitriol-throwing, and cut an artery in the left arm with a razor. He had previously inhaled some chloroform, to produce insensibility to pain. He left a written statement, to the effect that he had thrown vitriol on the dresses of several females on the streets while he was in a state of high excitement from inhaling chloroform, in which he was in the habit of in- dulging for the sake of its exhilarating effects. Dr. Wells was thirty-five years of age.

A correspondent says that two gentlemen in high life have arranged a wager for a thousand guineas, that one of them shall sell a million boxes of lucifer- matches in the space of two years, and not sell more than four boxes for one penny, and not exceed more than sixpennyworth to any one individual; to com- mence on the 24th day of July 1848, at York, and finish in Hull, 24th of July 1850.—York Herald

A joint-stock company is about to be started in Birmingham for the erection of "model dwellings," as a mere money speculation, though with an eye to the wellbeieref future tenants. There is to be nothing of a "charitable" nature in the scheme: some prejudice had been created against other buildings of the kind ae"being only a sort of genteel poor-houses."

A curious circumstance may be mentioned as illustrating the notions prevailing in Morocco relative to the mode of interference for the recovery of debts from foreign debtors. One of the. merchants, a loser to a considerable extent by a Mogador house which failed last year, has, it is understood, arrived in this coun- try with letters from the Emperor; one addressed to her Majesty, and the other

to Sir Moses Montefiore, written, it is with the view of assisting the sufferer in recovering his property from the insolvent —Times. The Glasgow Herald tells this story of "an active woman." " On Wednesday sennight, a woman named Foley, who had only arrived from Ireland on the pre- ceding day was brought to the Police-office on the charge of pocket-picking. She was liberated, however, on Thursday forenoon, for want of sufficient evidence; and within an hour afterwards gave birth to an infant, in a court off Bell Street, from which she was removed to a place of shelter. On Saturday morning, the woman, accompanied by her child, called at the Police-office to make inquiry re- garding a relation; and the same evening she was again lodged in the office, foe three separate acts of picking pockets, which had been committed during the day. This indefatigable personage and her infant remain in custody till liberated in due course of law."

It was discovered on Tuesday that a letter containing 6,0001. in notes and bills of exchange had been stolen in passing through the Post-office.

Another of those revengeful crimes for which Sheffield is infamous was per- petrated early on the morning of Friday week. Three ginger-beer bottles charged with gunpowder, and a quantity of loose powder, were ranged outside the window of one Marples, a joiner's-tool-maker: one of the bottles exploded, but the rest of the plot failed, and as there were shutters to the window the bottle that exploded did not enter the apartment. A watchman CaMO HIM three men running away, and seized one; but the others knocked the watchman down and released their companion. A factory belonging to Marples was de- stroyed by an " infernal machine" some time ago. What appears to have been a premeditated murder was committed in Mendes- ter early on Tuesday morning. About three years ago, Diana Thomas married William Adams; though she already had a husband, under transportation for felony, and Adams had a wife and two children living at Choriton. Latterly, the first husband being expected to return home, Diana Thomas had separated Lorn her second husband. She -was proceeding to her work at a mill on Tuesday. morning, when Adams met her; they soon quarrelled; Adams wanted her to re- turn home with him, but she refused, and ran away. Adams pursued, took a pistol from his pocket, presented it, and pulled the trigger; it missed fire; he re- cocked it, and this time fired it with fatal effect, lodging the charge in the wo- man's head. He was immediately arrested; and in his pocket was a second pistol, loaded, which he said he intended for his own destruction.

Richard Barnett, the man who made such atrocious charges of murder against Lord Leigh, was to have been indicted at the present Warwick Assizes for per- jury; but the trial has teen forestalled by the death of the accused, through ex- cessive drinking.
