was, tof a short niter of time, ekeiled in the
minds of the inhabittinis of Picasington, by the unu

pr o videntially but slight, and not of more than six
or eight seconds in duration. Those who witnessed
Its effects, describe the floors and ceilings of the
houses, with the various articles of furniture in them,
as being for a time to a virulent state of agitation;
the tremour of the surrounding objects being acimm

of a heavy cart over a rugged pavement.

Agricultural College. —Proceedings have recenily (
taken place with a view to establish an agricultural
college in Kent. First, it is proposed to raise the I
sum of .C 15,000 in £lO shares, and purchase eight
or ten acres, and erect buildings for a school of 300
boys, who are' to be educated at r./...5 guineas a-year,
and . 25 young men at £l2. These are to receive a
sound education, particularly to all those branches
which bear direcily upon the protession of farming;
and on a (arm to be attached to the school, they are
to be made particularly acquainted with all that re
lates to agriculture, as well as wttfi carpentry,
smith's work, building, surveying, and draining.—
The plan is well supported by Sir John Brooks, and
many other leading men in Kent.

Alarming Explasiati of Fart , lsamp.—On Monday
morning last, about six o'clock, the greatest alarm
and. excitement prevailed in the neighbourhood of
Leigh, in consequente of an explosion of file-damp
in one of "Nat's" pits, at a place called Barlow's
Factory, in West Leigh. John Tuna, a Welshman,
about lofty years of age, and a lad named Daniel
Knowles, were descending in a tub to their work,
with a safety lamp, and when about ten yards down
the pit, perceiving a dtrong smell of solpher, called
out to the bar.ksman, irVilham Mellor, at the tip, to
reverse the motion oflthe engine, so that they could
ascend. At shut moment, before any thing could he
dune, an explosion toOk place, Tuna and Knowles
were found dead at the bottom (dale pit towards eve.

one another in rapid succession down her

reply ; 'forgiee ma, dear Julia, for frighten.

Lcanuot, my only friend, I cannot tell
all, a lather's curse would crnah me,' and
she shuddered as she spoke, ' what shall
say would have remained unuttered, had not
my unguarded expressions partly informed
you that the Duke is not the object of my af
fections; took not so reproachfully upon me;
dear •girr, fur I could not relate my secrets,
even to you. The arts by which I have
been fumed to become the hi ide of de Alsace,
I am nut tree to disclose, as rey doing so
would throw a stain upon the character of
inust near to me; the other part of my
story you she!! hear in a few words.' The
tremulous speaker paused to recover breath,
then continued :—'Julian Montaldu was the
chosen of my heart, he only could have made
me happy—he alone could have done so, hut
eh 'i she stopped, as if some horrible vision
dated through het brain—again went on ;

bore evidence to the contrary. No, nu 'us
pursued the fair girl, with ener

tem% sky above, in placid r e signation. The
hitherto dery Julia could utter no consola•
turn to her bereaved cousin, her sensitive
mind was visibly atfected at what she ht,d
witnessed,-and a lung silence ensued.
• The night has far advanct d, I :Milk you
I had Ileum leave me Julia; said sibyl, • and I

• Let rue remain with you,' entreated her

' Press not such a question, dear cousin,

After a few demurs on the part of Julia, it
a as agreed that the latter should join her cou

A morning of exceeding loveliness suc•
ceeded the preceding night ; the sun shone
with resplendent lustre through the eastern
windows of the castle—the neighboring for
est rang with the happy notes of its feather
ed inhabitants, and the merry laughing voic
es art the conuntry swains hastening to their
healthy toil, formed a full chord of harmony
with the smiling face of nature.
' My headstrong girl will no longer cause
me tt , tub:e,' mused Count Regenal. exult ing•
, as he -trolled leisurely by the river's brink;
• today,' he continued, 'sue will be exalted
my long indulged dream of ambition will be
realized, and l'shall be the proud father of
the beautiful Duchess de Alsace.' Vain
man ! futile boast ! how little could he fora-
seethe decrees of Heaven; but we must nut
anticipate. I know not what it is,' he pur
sued in a moralizing strain, • that makes, me
feel thus.: last night sleep refused to visit my
pillow ; cannot define the uneasy sensation
that possessed me.' 'So speaking. he retraced
his steps to the castle, where all was bustle
and preparation for the approaching ceremo•
try; the haughty noblnian beheld with triumph
the splendor that was to grace the nuptials
of his young and lovely daugt.ter. Nine had
struck when he was joined by the happy
Duke ; ten o'clock being the hour app o inted
for the departure of the bridal train, the
company began toassemble.
'I have neither seen Sibyl nor Julia this
inormi2,' said the Count, I :-hould thruk
they intrnd to hide themselves until the last

De had scarce finished the sentence, when
his - niece et tered'the breaklast•parlor in a
dreadful agitation.

By a spout lneous movement the who_', of
the party_rushed to the brid's npartment`t . no

looked forward and beheld his bride kneeling
by her bedside ; ' 4 speak to her, dear Count;

While tresses of the brightest pearls float o'er thine

And the rainbow lays its georgeous gems, in tribute,

Thy reign is from the ancient days—thy sceptre

And from that hour to this—in which I gazed upon

From age to age—in winter's frosts—in summer's

By day, by night—without a pause—thy waves, with

In ceaseless sounds have etill.prucleinied the great

In the July uomber of the " Journal of the Fr)tni
ha Institute " we find, among other highly itana
ting matters, under the title of "Progress of Ptitetio
cal and' Theoretical Mechanic, and Chemistry," a : f..%
valuable article giving a statistical view of thereto*
progress and present amount of mining industry in ,
France, drawn from the ottioial reports, of- the Dire&
lion Generale des l'outs d Cluxussets et des Menu, ;
by G. R. Porter. It : appears that a law was passed
by the chambers to 1833, by which the collection . ...o
details connected with the mining industry of Prance .
was committed to the charge of the department a1i0.%
named, under the ultimate control of the Minister et
Commerce and Public Works. Attached terthis de
partinint is a corps of able engineers, whose ditty O r
is to visit in person and examine all the mining es- j '
tablishments of the country-, and report the detailed, 4
results of their ohservauous , from which an Annual
Jtatennent embracing every branch of mineral ftidur;- •.4
try is ruadetto the Minister of : Public Works. As
the author 'very juatly remarks; it, is calculated to
surprise the mass iof English as well 134
readers, that of the eighty-six departments, into
hich France is divided, there is but one, that of
Ger.!, which does not contribute to- the mineral
wealth of that powerfurkingdotn. In the discbergia "
of their duties the engineers have completed and
presented tabular statements of •the quantity and sal : .
ue of mineral fuel and of various metals induced in
each year, from 1814 to 1836 inclusive. From the.
tables thus furnished it .1s evident that the' mineral •
resources of France have been in a course of devel
opentent so rapid as to induce a belief that the sug
gestions of those intelligent officers at the time of the •
inspections have contributed not a little to the re
sults. The following'stutement is so shorl arid set*
forth so explicitly the condition of the manufacture of -
the minends named, that we give it entire: •

f late years in the producliveneas of -the trencri .
mines, it is, in the opinion of the engineers; sill
ry far short of its.unnost limit, large estahliennentit:,
