My STB H fo is Occurrence.— Between eleven and twclvo 
o’clock on Thursday week a very painful discovery was made 
in an apartment on Castle-hill, occupied by two females, 
mother a^.d daughter, named Campbe I. Some of the neigh- 
hours, wo understand, having observed that the occupants bad 
not been visible during the whole of Thursday, e x amln^ the 
apartment, the door of which was unlocked, and found that 
b!,th women were corpses. One of them, the elder, was seated 
on n chair, as If she had quietly fallen asleep, and her daughter 
lay half ucros-s the bod, with her feet resting on the floor. 
The police were immediately apprised o ‘he ctecum stance, 
and a medical gentleman along with a criminal officer m o 
sent to examine the place. The women as was reported, 
were both quite dead, and had apparent y boon so for hours. 
Not the least trace of violence was visible on the bodies, and 
the idea of suffocation is out of the quost.on, as the “P“ rt,nL ' 1 
which the unfortunate females occupied was well ventilated. 
Indications of poison were also wanting, and nothing h. I.o 
house gave colour to the supposition that they had committed 
suicide That they hud not died from want is also satlsfac- 
torily proved, from the romahiB of bread, porter, &c., found 
on searching the apartment. A poet mortem examination of 
the bodies took place yesterday, but it resulted in not king 
which could loud to any conjocturo us to the cause of death. 
'J'nr. (’ hole n A in Scotland.— I n addition to the fatal 
cases at Perth, four fatal cuses liavo occurred at Barrhead. 
At Dairy four cases occurred last week, of which three proved 
fatal. Some days since a smack left Glasgow for Oban, with 
» sick passenger, who ultimately died of cholera. On tho 
vessel reaching Ardrlshalg, the two men belonging to her, 
father and sort, wero both ill of tho disease.— .Scotsman. 
Tub M ot)K8. — The Grccnoch Advertiser nays:— TUe 
grniiHO arc suffering much from a disease which has attacked 
thorn It consists of swelling In tho throat, which increases 
until suffocation ensues. Tho continuation of wet weather has 
been very nmudical to other varieties of feathered gomo. 
Scotch Militia.— It Is stated that tho Scotch militia are 
to he called out In tho autumn. Tho officers ha vo received 
circulars from the adjutants of tho different regiments, requir- 
ing then. to boproparod to join or do duty at that period.— 
C Melancholy Accident.-A very melancholy accident 
from seabathing occurred at Kincraig, near Lite, on I uesday 
Inst. Misses Isabel and Mary Russell had gone down together 
to the bench— the latter with the intention ol bathing, her sister 
accompanying her. The place they had selected being be- 
twixt two ridges of rock, and the time being lugh water 
with a considerable swell, it is supposed Miss Mary hud 
mistaken the ground, which suddenly dips into deep water, 
or lm.l been drawn out by the current, and her sister, 
seeing her danger, lmd gone into her rescue, when both 
being beyond their depth, and unuble to reach the shallow 
water, they pcfisl.cd together. Their bodies wore found 
close together within an hour afterwards, and although 
medical assistance was promptly procured, and every effort 
used to restore a nimation, all was mclleetnal .— life Herald. 
IRELAND. 
PinB AT St. Vincent’s Hospital.— E arly on Sunday 
morning n llro broke out in St. Vincent’s Hospital, Stephen s- 
ereon, which at first appeared likely to destroy the whole 
building. Fortunately assistance was speedily procured, ami 
tho llro was confined to tho first floor. Tho Chief Huron ami 
other respectable Inhabitants of the locality threw open their 
houses to tbouso of the “SUi..r«nf Merev.” the matrons of 
new designs. 
.ivuflv, .v ...« - - Sisters of Morey, 
tho hospital, and such of tho patients ns could not bo safely 
removed to tho other hospitals. Tho patients wero brought 
buck immediately after the firo was extinguished. 
Exportation or Potatoes prom Ireland. — It is 
stated tliut a huge trado continues to bo done in tho exporta- 
tion of potatoes from Belfast to England— a branch of com- 
merce which lust year was regarded with nny feeling but that 
of favour by tho labouring classes in Ireland. Tho Belfast 
Mercury says:— “It would be within tho figure when we 
btato that slnco November lust not less than 1,000 tons of 
potatoes each week, on un average, have boon shipped from 
this port to various ports in England. Every ono of tho 10 
or 17 steamboats which run between Belfast and Liverpool, 
Fleetwood, Morecombe, Loudon, and Bristol in tho course of 
tho week, has more or less of her cargo consisting of potatoes, 
and tliero is besides a number of schooners regularly engaged 
in the trade.” 
Extraordinary attempted Ardvjction.— Tho fol- 
lowing singular statement appears in tho Evening Mail:— 
“ Clonmel, Sunday evening. — An attempt at abduction was 
made at half-past 2 o’clock this afternoon by Mr. John Car- 
den, of Burnane, Tipperary, who is a largo lauded proprietor, 
assisted by six or seven rufiiiins, supposed to bo some of his 
tenantry. Tho linn. Mrs. (lough, uccompanied by her sister, 
Miss Arbuthnot, Mias li. Arbnlhnot, and another lady, pro- 
ceeded to attend Divine Service at Rulhsonan church, a short 
distance from their residence, and, at half-past 2 o'clock, they 
wero met by Mr. Carden and his associates, nrinod with knives, 
bludgeons, &c., wiio stopped the car, cut tho reins and traces, 
and desired the driver not to stir, or they would kill him. lie, 
however, not observing their injunction, was set upon and 
beaten. Two more of Mr. Gough’s men, who came to tho 
rescue, wero also severely wounded. In tho meantime, Mr. 
Carden succeeded in dragging Miss E. Arbuthnot out of the 
car, but was prevented by her sister and another ludy from 
doing her any injury. The alarm haviug renched the house, 
and the servants, &c., being seen npproachiug, Mr. Carden and 
his suite fled, as one of his men hud a carriage and pair, and 
four or five saddle horses close by, leaving his hat, cane, ai d 
a portion of Ills coat, in the hands of the victors. 
“Another account says that Mr. Carden and his accom- 
plices have been arrested, and are now lodged in Cashel Bride- 
well, waiting the magisterial investigation. Ono of the horses 
of Mr. Carden’s carriage dropped dead in tho flight.” 
The Height of Total Abstinence. — The Teetotallers want 
to exclude the bottle from the Crystal Palace. We wonder they 
don’t carry their fanaticism so far as to endeavour to deprive it 
of the glass. — Punch. 
The War. — The sign of the " Omar Pasha,” has been adopted 
for a large bcershop about to be opened near the Infantry 
Barracks, Windsor. 
The Zouaves at Varna. — Every six men have a smau tent, 
of which each carries a small portion, and all button and tie 
together in a few minutes, and form a wonderfully secure weather 
protection for so very light a weight. I have been working at 
times hard at Turkish, and begin to find the advantage, but 
though they all understand me and my signs, I can hardly make 
out their meaning; either mv ear is not good or their pronuncia- 
tion infamous — probably W allacliian . — Correspondent o) Morning

fAL PANOPTICON OF SCIENCE AND ART, 
NEW SAFETY LAMPS FOR MINES. 
Every attempt to alleviate the severity of labour, or to 
diminish the (lungers to which it is frequently exposed, seldom 
fulls to bo justly and duly appreciated by the thinking portion 
of the public. If it succeed, as is occasionally the case, then 
is tho common lot of humanity, especially those who “ live by 
tho sweat of their brow,” materially improved, and affords 
another proof that mind, properly directed, can neutralise 
the dangerous properties of matter and make them completely 
subservient to its will. An instance in point Is presented by 
the New Safety Lamp, of which wo give an engraving ; it lias 
been used to great advantage in the Wicklow Mines, in Ireland ; 
and, we believe, in one or two of those of tho North of 
England. 
Tho construction of the lamp is somewhut peculiar, though 
simple, and is evidently an improvement upon that of Sir 
Humphry Davy. Tho bell-glass, for instance, is an addi- 
tional and important feature in the now lamp. The glass inside 
tho wire is made to fit close, which prevents tho flame from 
coming in contact with the gauze, and effectually causes the 
lamp to consume its own smoko. It is similar to the chimney 
in tho naphtha lamp. There are two cylinders of wiro ; the 
outer ono comes down to the inner ono to the level of tho 
gloss chimney inside, and leaves an inch or two of open 6pnce 
at tho top, which causes tho bout to radiate. 
The novelty of tho Now Mining Lamp, it will bo perceived, 
is principally confined to the glass chimney inside, and the 
using of polished or white wiro in place of common black 
wire, of which Davy’s lumps ore always constructed. Two 
objects are attained by the plaited wire ; it affords a greater 
light than the black wire cun possibly do, and it diminishes 
tho danger by being, wo believo, less attractive and not so 
liable to become heated. For a few shillings, then, each miner 
may almost ensure his life, and render himself a more efficient 
labourer, besides removing from tho mind of those belonging 
to him the continued apprehension of the dangers to which he is 
necessarily exposed. The inventor of the New Mining Lamp 
is Mr. Reuben l’lunt, himsolf a miner, or rather mine owner, 
of no inconsiderable extent.

FISH CULTURE BY SCIENCE AND ART. 
M R. BOCCIUS, the original successful promoter of 
artificial fish culture, lias his patent breeding apparatus, mude of 
gutta percha, ready for sale and delivery at Messrs. Thorne and Company, 
sole Manufacturers, No. 98, New Bond-street, London. Mr. Boecius begs 
to inform the nobility, gentry, and public, that he continues to make sur- 
veys of rivers, streams, and ponds, on moderate terms, and give directions 
and instructions for restoring and restocking the same after his economic 
system. Fisheries can be restocked in ono season, as the apparatus, 
although requiring but a small space of water, is capable of breeding out 
tens of thousands of salmon, trout, and other fish. 
Hits nnh Splits. 
Amongst tho passengers who escaped from the wreck of the 
Eruolono was u Mr. Knight. As he was sinking, his wife caught 
at him, nml in her convulsive agony she bit him on tho shoulder. 
She sank to rise no more ; he was saved, but has just died from 
the effects of the wound on the shoulder. 
An Irish Emigrant's Outfit. — An Irishman going to Ame- 
rica by one of the emigrant ships at the Waterloo Dock, was 
accosted by a German who sold boxes, with, “ Buy a box, sir. " 
“What for?” said Baddy. “To put vour clothes in, " replied 
the German. " Bedad, ii' I do then, I'll have to go naked on 
deck, ” was the reply. 
The Glorious Law. — I n an action for £0 odd, originally 
brought in the Glasgow Sheriff's Court, the united costs have 
been £220. — Glasgow Mail. 
A Useful Recipe. — A n eminent painter was once asked 
what he mixed his colours with, in order to produce such wonder- 
ful effect, llis reply was, “ I mix them with brains, sir.” 
A “ Fair” Exchange. — On Sunday night a young man, who 
had come from a distance to enjoy Halifax fair, had the change 
taken out of him in an unexpected manner. He met in Hatter’s- 
fold with a woman who pressed him to give her 3d. lie told 
her he had not that amount, and she offered to give him change 
for fid. Suspecting nothing, he gave her a sixpence and received 
3d. back; but soon after discovered that the “fair" one had 
abstracted £3 15s from his pocket. — Halifax Guardian. 
A Scene in Siustiua, May 29tli. — Went down to the Stam- 
boul-gate, where wo saw the arms, accoutrements, &e. of the 
enemy’s slain being received and registered. While there a 
rutlian threw down before Mussa Pasha a pair of ears, which he 
said ho had cut from the head of a Russian officer. He was 
quite surprised at the l’asha, instead of rewarding him as he had 
expected, ordering the ears to bo buried, and turning from him 
with disgust. Several heads were also brought down, hut were not 
allowed inside the walls. It is to he hoped that this disgraceful 
mutilation of the dead will be abandoned by the Turks when they 
come to act in concert with the Allies, it being, moreover, in 
direct violation of a special firman from the Sultan, In justice to 
the Turkish soldiers, I must state this brutality was confined 
chiefly to the irregulars and townspeople, who seemed to take a 
savage delight in disfiguring the bodies of those with whom the 
latter had not oven been engaged. — Correspondent of the Times.
