A Skakb Htnrr est Shu?.—-An ____saal and escitiag incident took place recently on board the _t_aiaship Bfanfemore in tha Hahfinpoa Dock, Liverpool.

At about nine o'dock the 1 men worfeiag in No. 3 hold rashed. pell moil on deck, aad reported to the ofEcer of the watch that a larga snake was "in p__E__sion" below.

Ch_i_.ed Books. —Is the medi-eval custom of chaining books in church porches or chancels still in existence ia this country ? TheiZelisuary answers the qaestioas ia the affirmative, aad cite 3 soma instaoces. At Bread-all, ia Derbyshire, there is a double reading desk ia the ohaacel, to which are chained old editions of Jewel's Works; Burnet's "History of the Reformatioß/. L'Esfcrange's edition of the. Works o Joseph-is, Cave's Works, and other boo__la Aerry Church, Moatgomeryshire, there ia a copy of the Bible ia Welsh, daly held by a chain, aad at Llaafyllia, in the same, coaaty, ia a ehaiaed copy oi the " Whole Daty of Maa." At Meltoa Mowbray, chained to a table ia the church, are yarioas books, including the " Paraphrases |of Eraam_ut4", ! Jewt.Vg ,c Apology" three copies of Fpse'a "Book of Martyr-," aad other volumes. In , Frampfeoa Cotterell ; Church, Gloaceatershise, there is a chained [ copy of Jewel's " Apology" of the year ; 1568. Ia WoQtea; Wavrea Church, War--I wiefcahiro, there are nine or tea chained [books, and no less than fifty such in | 'fnrfcoe Chnroh, Lancashire. The popular . notion that such hook- wero always copies iof the Scriptures will bo ecen from this to Ibe erccaeout. Before the Reformation it would seem .that books of all sorts wera chained snehucches. Soma of the books : at Windsor appear from their titles to have : been what we should call novels. >
