POETRY. THE LABOURER'S NOON-DAY HYMN. UP to the throne of God is borne The voice of praise at early morn, And-he accepts the punctual hymn Sung as die.light of day grows dim. Xer will he titru his eat aside From holy offerings at noontide Then, here reposing, let us raise A song of gratitude and praise. What though our burden be not light, We need not toil from morn till night! The respite erf the mid-day hour Is in the thankful creature's power. Hlest are the moments, doubly blest. That, drawn frtMii this one hour of rest, Are with a ready heart bestowed Upon the service of our God! Wbv should we crave a hallowed spot ? A u all ar is in each man's cot, A church in evcry grove that spreads Its living roof above our heads. Look up to IJoaven -the industrious sun Already half his race hath run; He cannot hnlt or go a<;tr¡¡y, Hut our ilumortal spirits may. Lord since lus rising in the east, If we have falteredjor trasgvesscd, Guide, from thy love's abundant source, What yet remains of this day's course Help with thy grace, through life's short day, Our upward and our downward way And glorify for us the west, When we shall sink to final rest.

THE DISEASES OF MINERS. '.
THE DISEASES OF MINERS. (From the Mining Review.) The following paper on this subject, written by Sir Charles Lemon, Bart., M. P., was read at the last monthly meeting of the Royal Institution of Cornwall:— The report of the Regis tra r-General, lafely pub- lished, has suggested a few reflections, which I venture to put on paper, because they have a direct bearing on a subject, which has occupied the atten- tion of many benevolent individuals in the county, amongst whom it is but justice 10 distinguish the name of Mr Charles Fox. I allude to the diseases of miners. These, it has been already shown, are chiefly diseases of the respiratory organs; bat the extent of their ravages could hardiy be appreciated with- out the information which is now first communi- cated in the report. We have it here in evidence that in a county which ranks high in longevity, and, therefore, where the air we breathe may be presumed to be healthy, the ratio of deaths from diseases of the respiratory organs, greatly exceeds that of any other of the twenty-five districts, into which, for the purposes of registration, the kingdom has been divided. During last year, in the whole of England and Walesj out of woo deaths, only 145 persons so dying have been of the age of seventy years or upwards while in Cornwall the deaths above that age were as 188 to 1000. This, I think, proves the the general healthiness of the climate. But the balance turns greatly against us when we compare the ratio of deaths in this county, arising from dis- eases of the respiratory organs, with that of the kingdom at large, or any one of the subdivisions. I speak or the male deaths only; the others are foreign to my purpose. The ratio per cent. of male deaths which occur- red during the year registered, from diseases of the respiratory oreans, is as follows :— Throughout England 24-9 per cent. In Cornwall >14 8 In no other district (not even in the smoky me- tropolis) does the proportion mount as high, with the exception of Birmingham, where there has always existed especial causes of injuries to the lungs amongst others, the small particles of steel inhaled by those « lio make needles. Now, is this source of mortality in Cornwall con- nected wjth the underground occupations of a large portion of Ollr popuiation2 I think it is, and for this reason-Tiie men only go below. In every other rural district the ratio of female deaths from pulmonary causes greatly exceeds that of males. In the kingdom, generally, it i, on nearly equal numbers of deaths, it 21 9 per cent. male to 26-15 female. In Cornwall, it is as 34'8 male to 27 8 female deaths. Here it will be observed that the ratio of female deaths somewhat exceeds the genera! proportion, but in no great degree; and that the ratio of male deaths is not only not less than that of the female, but greatly surpasses it. It is, therefore, amongst the occupations of the men that we must look for the extraordinary causes of disease of the respi- ratory organs. The next question is—Does this effect belong to mining districts in general, or is there anything peculiar in our habits which gives rise to it ? In the mining districts of Northumberland, Durham, An. WP have this result- Pulmonary deaths, male 26 2 per cent. Ditto, female 269 These numbers approximate to the general aver- age, the female deaths being in excess. In the mining parts of Staffordshire, Worcester- shire, &c., we have— Male deaths 24-1 percent. Female ditto 23*1 Here the male deaths are rattier in exceni, out both are below the general average; and I should rather seek for causes to account for the very low rate of female deaths, than attribute the small ex- cess of male deaths to any circumstance affecting the condition of the men. 1 he following extract from the letter of a gentleman residing in Stafford- shire, indicates some of these causes:—"The women here are less exposed to danger from pul- monary disease than in purely agricultural districts. \Va ges are high the women are seldom employed out of doors, never in hard work the houses of the labouring: classes are good, and fuel is abundant; so that the wives are better off than in most agri- cultural counties." Thus it appears that the ratio of deaths from diseases of the respiratory organs, in the three mining districts distinguished in the report, stands as follows Males. Females. Northumberland,&c..26*2 per ceut.26-9 percent. Staffordshire, &c 24*1 ..23-1 Cornwall 34-8 .27-8 I From the above table it wonld seem that mining operations in other places are not conducive to these diseases; and that there must be some local and especial cause acting ia Cornwall alone. I know of none, unless it be, that it is the custom in Cornwall for men to asoend from their work by ladders; while in Northumberland, Staffordshire, and other mining districts they are brought to the surface in buckets. Furthermore, the total number of male deaths in Cornwall, during the registered year, appears to I ave been 2940. Now, if the cause (whatever it may have been) from whence arose the excessive number of pul- monary mate deaths in Cornwall, as compared with the female deaths, had not existed, it is probable that the deaths themselves would have been less in the same proportion. But that excess was 7 per cent., therefore 198 fewer men would have perished. I have elsewhere computed the whole mining population of the county (those actually employed on the mine.) at 28,000. Making allowance for the increase which may have occurred, I will assume that the whole number was, last year, 30,000. Of these, if my former calculations were correct, 17,780 were men, and 12,220 women and boys. Half the latter number were probably boys; thus the whole male population engaged in mining may be computed at 23,890; of whom two-third*, or 15,927 men and boys work underground. To these I add about 1000 for those men who have quitted the occupation, perhaps bearing with them the seeds of pulmonary disease. Therefore the whole mining population of the county, working, or having worked underground, may be taken to be about 17,000 persons. Now, I calculate that the population of the county, at the commencement of last year, was about 336,000 souls, of whom 122,640 were males above ten years of age- Among these, there were 148ft deaths-that is, one in seventy-eight. Applying this proportion to the 17,009 males above stated, who may be presumed to be above ten years of age, the deaths under the operation of general causes would have been 218. To these may be added the 198 deaths to which I have alluded, arising from some hidden cause; and, under the supposition that that cause was connected with underground labour, the total number of deaths in that class will have been 418-that is, one in forty and a half. Therefore the mortality amongst the underground "workers in mines is to the mortality amongst males above ten years of age throughout the county, as 78 is to 401, or rather less than two to one. P. S. Mr Btee has shown that in the mining parishes of Gwennap, Redruth, and Illogan, of 452 male deaths, 242 were caused by diseases of the chest—that is* 53*5 per cent. of the deaths; the proportion for the county at large being 34-8 per cent. This strongly corroborates the supposition that the causes or excess of pulmonary deaths is to be found in the mining districts. The word pulmonary is incorrect; but it may serve 9 signify the disease* of the respiratory organs geuertlly.

MYsTKRlOUS ATTEMPT AT MURDER, AND UOBBliUY AT TUB UNITED SERVICE C LU B-IIOUSL, LONDON. 1'2 V" On Thursday week considerable excitement pre- vailed at the west end of the town, in consequence of a report being circulated, that during the pre- vious night an attempt at murder, under very mys- terious circumstances, had been made at the United Service Club House, upon the steward of that esta- blishment. The greatest secrecy was maintained oil the subject by the whole establishment, as, well as by the police. By great exertions, however, and not without considerable difficulty, the follow- ing particulars relative to the mysterious affair have been obtained. On Wednesday night the above establishment was kept open, as usual, till about two o'clock, when the doors were closed un- der the superintendence of Mr Fenn, tlie steward, who soon alterwards retired to rest. The following morning when the servants arose, about evclI o'clock, the attention of some of them, whilst pas- sing the apartments of Mr Fenn, which are situate on the basement fioor, was attracted by cries cr moans, apparently 4ttered by some person in dis- tress, proceeding*froui tlie apartments of that per- son. Haying" convinced themselves of the fact, they opened the' door of the room, when a sight w.hich greatly surprised them presented itself. The apartment was in a state of great disorder, and on the floor they discovered Mr Fenn, lying in appa- rently a dying state, and covered by a blanket, on removing which it was found that his night plothes were torn to pieces and saturated with blood. In- foimation of the discovery was immediately con- veyed to the other domestics, who also proceeded to ;he room, when a surgeon was sent for, on whose arrival a more minute examination was made. An extensive contused wound was then discovered about the centre of the forehead, which had apparently been inflicted by some heavy instrument, such as a bludgeon, or life preserver. The mark of a severe blow was also discovered towards the back part of the head, and there was an extensive bruise below the elbow of the right arm, from the effect of which there is no doubt,the unfortunate man was deprived of all use of it. The body having exhibited appear- ances denoting that animation was suspended, pro- per restoratives were administered with some suc- cess,, but without any appearance of returning consciousness. The room and other parts of the premises were then examined, when traces of bloody fingers were observed on the door of the room, and from thence on the different doors of the passage lead- ing to the street entrance. Information of the mys. terious affair was then forwarded to the police station in Vine-street, when Superintendent Baker, of the C division, accompanied by Inspectors Covington and Jervis, proceeded to the house, by which, time several of the principal members of the club at present in towu, to whom intelligence of the oc- curence had been communicated, had arrived, when a strict inquiry was instituted amongst the domes- tics, without anything likely to lead to an elucida. tion of the mystery in which the occurrence is enveloped being obtained. A further examination of the room then took place, when it was found that several articles of value, as well HS the contents of the cash-box of the institution, which was broken open, had been carried away. The amount of cash in the box is not at present known. Towards the middle of the day, Mr Fenn, on whom a surgeon was in constant attendance, revived considerable, and at intervals was enabled to enter into conver- sation. In the midst, however, of which, he re- lapsed into his previous state of insensibility. It Is* understood that the following explanation of the mysterious affair has been at intervals bi"en by iiitri;- Aftet- he had been, as he supposed, abont an hour in bed, he was suddenly awoke by receiving a severe blow oil the side of his head, with, as he believed, a stick, on which he instantly jumped out of bed, when he was immediately seized by two men, with whom he xtruggled for some time,but was eventually compelled to desist, in consequence of receiving theblows already described over the head and arm, which knocked him down and deprived him of his senses, in which state he must have re- mained till discovered by the servants. MrFena appears to be unable to give any description of the robbers bv whom he has been attacked. From the examination of the premises, it has been ascertained (hat none of the doors had been forced, and it is therefore presumed that the thieves must either have been well acquainted with the means of in- gress and egress, or have. by some means at present undiscovered, secreted themselves in the oiffceq tiii, seen by any f ti-e domestics. Activeorifcers of the C division of police have, by order of the Commis- sioners of Pol ice, been engaged endeavouring to trace the parties by whom the robbery and violence had been comnJllted. A meeting of the c ub has since been lieli for the purpose of considering what stepssfiould be adopted for the purpose of discovering the mystery by w hich the extraordinary affair is enveloped the result of which, has, however, not been allowed to transpire. Mr Fenn, who is about 38 or 40 years of age, we understand, still remains in a very precarious state, though hopes are entertained that he may yet sttr. vivo. He has been for some time connected with the club, and is much respected by its members.

EAKL STANHOPE'S MODE OF DRINKING HEALTHS.-— A' a temperance meeting at the London Coffee-house, Ludgate-hill, on Thursday evening, Earl Stanhope, the chairman, detailed at great length the advantages of total abstinence from all malt and spirituous liquors, and ridiculed the idea of modera- tion only, which was the principle adopted by the society which he seceded from. (Hear, hear.) He had served more than an apprenticeship to teetotal- (cheers), and might now be calied a master teetotaller (daughter); and, although he moved in the Upper classes of society, where all the luxuries of life were freely paitaicen of, yet he always refused the wine cup when offered him, even in the presence of his Queen (cheers); and he would just mention the followili- l circumstance to prove how rigidly he adhered to the total abstinence principle. Some short time since he received an invitation from her Majesty to dine at the Royal table, and in the course of the entertainment, her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent asked him to take wine with her, but he politely refused, and said, May it please: your Royal Highness, I never drink wine, but I shall be happy to drink the health of your Royal Highness in a glass of water." (Loud cheers.) [Though we dissent from the principle of total ab- stinence, we yet can admire the conduct of Earl Stanhope. Few men would have moral courage enough to refuse the wine cup in courtly presence, and under the same ciroumstance. The same course of conduct would soon make duelling unfashionable. Lord Londondury might take a useful lesson from Eirl Stanhope. En. G. & G.] AN OVERZEALOUS FRIEND.—As ti gentleman was bathing yesterday week in the Serpentine, he nearly met with hi* death under the far circumstanccs:-It appears that Mr Ashton, of Pall Mall, has a very large and sagacious New- foundland dog, and the gentleman took his dog with him on-going"lo bathe, for the porpose of exercising him in thew°ater. The gentleman having undressed plunged into the water and swaui towards the centre of the stream, followed by the dog. The animal seeing the gentleman swimming about in the water, supposed he was drowning, swam directly towards the spot, pized the hair of his head in his mouth, and elevating his head considerably above the wa- ter proceeded to drag him towards the shore. The gentleman became excessively alarmed and smug- gled violently to get away, but the dog resolutely kept hill- hold. This strange contest continued for some minutes in.the wa er, until the gentleman was quite exhausted. An alarm was then raised, and the men belonging to Ihe Humane Society put off in their boafta and arrived just in time to save him. Upon medical assistance being prooured, he was found to be very much injured from the incisioBS made by the dog s teeth. He was conveyed to his residence in a coach, accompanied by his overzealous canine companion. NEW BLACKFRIARS BRIDGE.—The repairs of this bridge (by the bye, something like the repairs ot Buckingham House), are nearly completed, and the bridge will in point of fact be a new one Be- sides having had their piers restored, and the balus- trades removed to make way for a srone wall, the foot path has been relaid, and made nearly level, so that pedestrian passengers passing from Surrey to Middlesex, or vice versa, may not have to climb a hilt, because gentles of the equestrian order cannot avoid it. TOLL-BARS originated in 1267, says the Mirror, on the grant of a penny for every waggon that pas- sed through a certain manor; the first toll was collected a few years after, for mending the road in London between St. Giles's and Temple-bar,

LIFE ASSURANCES SOCIETIES. Ihe following is extracted from an address of Richard Jenkins, Esquire, Medical Ofiicer and As?cnt to the Independent West Middlesex Assurance Com- pany for Cardiff, &c.

It is not necessary to look further than the county of Glamorgan for ^instances of persons, who, in their younger days fancied themselves secure from want in after life, blindly believing that sufficient had been laid aside to satisfy their necessities; but who, upon the death of their friends or relatives, have found tileill.selves,ii) a strite of destitution, and compelled at once to change a state of comparative ease and com- fort, for one of misery and privation, rendered the more acute, by its being new and unexpected.

We should like to know the amount of money of which the poor people of this country have thus been robbed. The proverb says, VV hen thieves fali out, honest men get their own." In this case the thieves have taken care to spend that which belonged to honest men, and are unable to make restitution.

A HEAVY RIB.—-Ihe Man nice Express speaks of a man from Connecticut, whose wife is so fat that he was obliged to make two loads of her when he emigrated. SWEETS OF NTATP-IMONy.We see it stated that a lady in a neighbouring1 state has applied for a divorce from her husband because he would always insist on lick-ilig the cork of the molasses jug when she unstopped it- What would our divorce com- mittee think of such a cause as this? a-ks a Hartford paper. We believe t.,y refuse a divorce unless the husband absolutely lichs the wife herself, which is little worse than licking the molasses stopple. New York ExpfC™- JUDGE LYNCII» A gambler on a Mississippi steam-boat was detected ill cheating while playing cards with the deck hands, when they lashed him to the end of the piston-rod, allowing him but three feet of slack rope; and in this way they worked him, first pulling him one way and then causing him to f-pnug for his life to prevent being crushed by the returning piston, and making him keep time to the celetnated new air of Here she goes, there she goes," until they had worked out of him, in sweat and in swearing, fully the amount ofall he had won, when they let him go. A BELGIAN pAPint relates that a pigeon-fancier lately took a couple of cardors with him on a voyage which he was making to Algiers, going round by Lisbon and Gibraltar, Intending to introduce the system of conveying dispatchcs by means of these birds into Africa. At Lisbon the basket in which the pigeons were kept got undone by some accident, and the birds escaped. Not many days after they had returned safe to Antwerp GOOD FEEOISG.—" You have a vcry fine family Jonathan Spinks," said AmiuidabFiggle, addressing a pursy old Philadelphian, who had recently trans- ported himself and seven loug, lanky, logie sons to the plains and forests of Kentucky, "how have you I managed."

DEFINITION OF A LOVEK.—-A lover has been pithily described as a man who, in his auxiety to ob- tain possession of another, has lost possession of himself.

INTEGRITY OF THe OLD PotICE,- A. most re- markable fact connected with the old police, we understand, is likely soon to transpire in an official shape. When Plank, the officer, waited on Faunt- lcroy, who suffered for forgery, he was asked by the banker if he could not take his word for appearing to answer the charge. It is impossible," was the reply. The banker then pointed to a box, and inti- mated that that if contained £ 70,000. which he might call his own if her abandoned his duty. The answer and the result ueetl not be stated.

The public will derive from this appointment the conviction that the measure will have lair play j and the mode of rewarding the inventor of. -such a scheme is most appropriate.—• M«minu CJtronivle. INFANTICIDE.—A young woman under 18 years of èg", is now in Newgate, and next week to be tried tor her' life at the Central Criminal Court, on the charge of hatrrrg' destroyed her new-born child.

THE -PTNA.- Licti tenant Wilson is ordered to be supplied with an addition to her armanent and ma- rines, and to return to the coast of Y orkshire for the protection of the fisheries.—Devoujwrl Telegraph.. THE LORD BISHOP OF EXETER is quite recovered, and is now continuing his visitations and confirma- tions in Cornwall. THE REV. DR. LEE has been. appointed head of the committee for superintending the printing of the Bible in Scotland to insure the perfect integrity of the text. Dr. Lee is the most celebrated Hebrew scholar of the age; his appointment, therelore, to an office so important is at once a tribute to his character, and a proof of the desire ol the govemVnent to preserve the sarred volume from interpolations and errors, whether the result ot carelessness or design, to--which it would he exposed, were not some competent and responsible authority appointed to superintend the printing of every addition, from whatever press it may issue.—(Ministerial Paper), RURAL DEANS.—-We informed our readers in our last week's paper that the Commissary of the Arch* deaconry of Richmond had, in his recent visit to this town, revived the office of rural dean in this district, and had appointed the Icev; J. Manby, Vicar df Lan- caster, and th« Rev. l. Mackrcth, Rector of Halton, to discharge its duties with separate and independ- ent territorial jurisdictions. We have since been fa\oured with a view of tho patents of appointment, which contains the same powers and atttitority pfri, sessed by the cotumissary, huaself. It is a subject, we think, of sincere congratulation to. fiad this ancient, useful, and highly honourable office of rural dean revived in many of the dioceses of the kingdom, aud to observe, also, that its subsidiary, importance to Church polity is becoming duly appreciated. For three centuries, it must be confessed, has the Church been suffering in our larger dioceses for the want of those local ordinaries, and of that most useful exer- cise of discipline? Parochial visitation, which rural deans effectually supply. Attached, as we are, to our Church, we cannot but rejoice at the restoration of such eflicient instruments ot spiritual government, and we beg to express a wish that those who are in- vested with the duties ot the office will exert the powers of which they are indubitably possessed. The office of rural clean is a grave trust, as it carries with it the inspection of the morals and ministrations of the clergy, and the care of the church fabric and utensils —not merely sustaining, or seeing sustained, in be- coming repair, the structures consecrated to Divine Worship, and preserving all things relating to the services of the altar, the desk and the pulpit, but supporting these monuments of ancient piety in their original beauty and magnificence. These particular duties are expressly set forth in their written instruc- tions, and implied in the act of the appointment, and the conscientious fulfilment of them is a matter of the greatest importance. If we are not presuming too much in these remarks, we would add that the more obstructions the Church meets with in the present '01's day, the more reason we have to make these jurisdic- tions useful; and to do all we can, in our several places and stations, to preserve the poor remains of church discipline we yet eujoy in their due life and vigour—a work deserving the best wishes and assist- ance of every man who leels a regard for the interests of religion, and for the honour and authority of his Church.—Lancaster Gazelle. THE LORD BISHOP OF GLOUCESTEH AND BRISTOL has instituted the Rev. S. G. Bourke, of St. Mary Hall, to the rectory of Hatherop, Gloucestershire, to which lie was presented by Lord de Mauley. THE RUMOURED MARRIAGE OF QUEEN VICTORIA. -The Awjsburgh Gazette contains the following passage respecting the marriage ot the Queen ot Eng Tlit-,speech of Queen Victoria, on pro- roguing the parliament, makes no mention of her marriage. As some journals have interred that the matrimonial alliance with the Coburg family was still doubtful, we can affirm, on good authority, that the meeting of several members of the house of Saxe Cohurg at London is for the purpose ot setthng the necessary preliminaries which must precede the marriage-that is to say, everything relative to the prerogatives and the revenue ol the intended husband. As for the question of the marriage itsel,, and the mutual affection of the parties, all this has been since decided. The Duchess of Kent and the King of the Belgians have been the most lealous prosecutors of the alliance," HER MAJESTY continues in good health at Wind. sor, and takes exercise daily when the weather per- mits. Their Majesties the King and Queen of the Belgians continue to reside at the Castle. Her Majesty the Queen Dowager remains at Bushy, where IIor Royal Highness the Princess Augusta has been on a visit to Her Majesty. THE DUKE OF SUSSEX has declined the invitation of the Lord Provost to visit Edinburgh during the autumn, on the ground of severe indisposition. His Royal Highness, in answer to the Lord Provost, states that he was seized at Southwick Park with a violent inflammation, which reduced him to great weakness, and it would he therefore unwise aiid-iinprudent on his part were he to risk so long a journey at such an advanced period of the season. His Royal Highness, we are happy to state, is considerably better. (From a Correspondent).)* Saturday the Queen of the Belgians, attended by her suite alld Colonel Cavendish, paid a visit to the St. Katharine Docks. Sir John Hall received her Majesty at the entrance to the Dock-house, and accompanied the Royal visitor round the docks the warehouses, vaults, &c., and upon taking her leave her Majesty was pleased to express the gratification she had experienced from inspecting so noble a commercial establishment. Her Majesty has since visited Guild Hall, and St. Paul's Cathedral, attended by the Lord Mayor, and the chief office hearers in the corporation of London. THE QUEEN DOWAGER.—^We understand that her Majesty-will not pass the winter at Torquay, the negociatlons for Tor Abbey having failed. At the same time we hear that her Majesty's me/lical advis- ers have recommended the salubrious air of South Devon as likely to prove beneficial to their illustrious patient's health.
