This i• an extraordinary circumstance, especially when taken in conuezion with the fact that the like authority to seise American fishing vessels under similar circumstances bat never been refused to the cruisers of any of the North American colonies. The colony of Nova Scotia has now four armed evil:sire, well mann.d. on its coasts, ready to pounce upon any American vessel. that may acci dentally or otherwise be found fishing within the limits defined by the crown of f icers of England.

The first article of the convention between the United Slate. and Great Britain, of the 20th October, 1818, is in these words: . . .

The pre-eminence of the Freemasons' Orphan School among the metropolitan charities ha. long been esknowledged, both fut the mode of training adopted and tbs suponor charaet. r of the children who were the ob jects of relief. One desideratum, however, still was wont ing, and that was • healthy cite for the asylum, which, up to this time, has been situated in the Westminster-road, • locality by no mean, recommended by the learned in sanitary matters. This object has now been achieved by the removal of the school to the more airy and healthy part of Wandsworth Coalmen, where the formal dedication of the building took place yesteriliy, with all due so lemnity. The new building, which is in the Elizabe than style of are'titeeture. Is situated close to the Clap ham Common stollen of the South Western Rail way, and comprises every accommod .tion which modern science could suggest, alth nigh it might be desirable that the surrounding grounds were on • now., extended scale. The great value of ground so near the metropolis must how ever be taken aa a sufficient encase (or the limited character of the external accommodations. The influx of company commenced se early so use 'Week. and awe titan one special train was pat in requisitiou on the South Western Railway, besides which every omnibus, eats, and van, that was procurable was put into requisition. The grand master, the Marl at Zetland, arrived at two o'clock. accompanied by the Earl of Yarborough, laird Dudley Stuart. and other high dignitaries of the masonic institution, and was received by one of the most numerous companies of masons sod their friends that has ever been seen within or in the immediate neighbourhood of the metropolis. A grand lodge was lambetlistay held, which was, of course, seep preachab:e by the uninitiated, after which, • mei procesaon round the grounds took place previous te Hie formal dedication. Herr the varieties of masonic can • bad an exceedingly striking effect, which was much heightened by the dreams of the foreign brethren, among whom the Ea-Rajah of Cuing and the Tunisian Envoy were conspicuous. There were also present Germans, rein, Russians, Italians, and Frenchmen, proving the nelvenality of the principle by which freemasonry is kept together. The procession having gone round the grounds, accompanied by two military bands, proceeded to the grand ball, when the formal dedication took place. The Earl of Zetland, Grand Master, having taken his seat on the throne, the treads sacred to freemasonry were formolly de-' posited on the places reserved for their reception ; after I which the superintendint of works gave an explanation ot the plan of the building, and Brother Cabbed described the objects of the institution and the gratifying progress it had made during the last few years. We regret to say that, owing to an extraordinary pressure, and the low tone in which the hon. gentleman spoke, we are unable to do more than mention the purport of his remarks. An anthem was then sung by the choir, under the direction of Mr. Genge, in the absence of Mr. Farquharaon Smith; sad Brother Beadon gave a short sketch in reference to the origin and completion of the new edifice. Ile stated that the committee had ex amined several sites in the neighbourhood of London, and had selected Wandsworth Common, as possessing the quali ties of • gravelly soil, good air, abundance of pure water, a pleasant vicinity, and easy access to medical relief. The ground-landlord, on bearing that the object was • site for a school for female children, had at once en tered into their views, and the negotiitions bad been carried on in the most satisfactory manner. The re sult bad been the erection of the building in which the company then were congregated. On the conclusion of this address, which was moot favourably received, another anthem was sung, after which an occasional copy of verses, composed by Mr. Carter Hall, was recited by Rhoda Davis, one of the pupils, and loudly applauded. The formal ceremony of dedication was then performed, accompanied by all the mysteries of masonry, after which the adjourned to Mr. Edgington'a largist pavilion, which a Z been erected on the grounds, and in which the enornsose number of 1,200 ladies and gentlemen eat down to an excellent cold collation, prepared by Mom. Watson, Coggin/ and Banks, of the hes masons' Tavern. A musical party, compiling the talents of the Mimes Wells and Mr. Otago, sang se veral popular madrigals, glees, and solos, among which Miss Wells's performance of " Bonnie Dundee " was loudly and deservedly applauded. The usual loyal and constitu tional toasts were given, after which the chairman, the Earl of Zetland, gave, "Prosperity to the Freemasons' Schools," at the same time congratulating himsell and his brother masons on the progress which the charity had made within the last few years. Other routine toasts were then disposed of, a ft er which the eempany adjourned to the lawn, where dancing to the Milk of an excellent quadrille bend was kept up to • late beer et the' vening. METROPOLITAN BURIAL BILL Yesterday evening an adjourned meeting of vestry was held in the vestry room of St. Clement's Danes to con sider the report of the committee appointed by vestry on the Metropolitan Burial Dill, and to adopt sue. resolutions on the subject as might be deemed advisable for the benefit of the parish. The senior churchwarden, Mr. T. BEACHIII, presided. The Vestry Clerk read the report of the com mittee, which stated they had waited upon the Dome Secretary and Lord John Manners, who had charge of the bill, that they had obtained some bene fi cial changes in the ME, especially one giving the parishes the power to select their own burial-grounds, and it concluded by recommend ing the different perishes in the city of Westminster to form a union for the purpose of having a burial board and one burial-ground for the city.. The vestry clerk then read the resolution which had been moved by Mr. Lewis for' the rupees of carrying out the recommendations of the committee. Several of the ratepayers having made conges tions to the meeting, Mr. Lewis, the mover of the remota , non at the previous vestry, said he considered the subject was ciao which was of the deepest imporance. It was to be remembered that a strong feeling eaisted in Weston.- ster against the government system of centralisation, and that the inhabitants were desirous of attending to matters that affected their own interests. What they wanted was municipal institutions. In the present bill there was pro vision made for the City of London having a separate burial board ; and there was no doubt, had Westminster possessed municipal government, that a similar advantage would have been *Decoded to it. He said he was not sanguine of the ether perishes meting with them, hut, in the event of the west-end pariahs' refusing, he would then limit his proposal to the parishes comprised in the Strand anion. The resolution was then nathinioualy agreed to, and a depetation was appointed to confer with the different parishes, sad to report without delay. A numerously attended vestry meeting was also held s terday in the parish of St. Mary's, Kensington, the the Venerable Archdeacon Sinclair, in the chair. Lime, Colonel Barlow pointed out the desirability of the whit coming to en arrangement with one of the cemetery ponies few the apportionment of some part of their pearls to the um of the perish, so that the eipens• of a ehepal sad an officiating clergyman might be saved. This sumer tiros appeared to be received with muck approbation by the amembled ratepayers. Archdeacon Sinclair observed that Lord John Manners had informed him that, the amenity that might arise for lathing orden fttrigm mediate closing of some of the parochial burial grounds, the government had in contemplation the purchase of the West London and Westminster Cemetery, in order to sup ply the want. of those parishes while they should be form ing burial grounds of their own. Mr. Miley said that the 2tith section of the new act gave to banal boards the power to enter into such arrangements with cemetery companke as had been recommended by the gallant colonel. A board of nine gentlemen was then appointed, with instructions to report to the vestry the result of their inquiries, and not to enter into any arrangements without find consulting the ratepayen. A vote of thanks having been given to the venerable Artheincen, the meeting broke up. TOR CONVICT MARY ROBINS. WORCIRIEB MONDAY.—This unhappy woman, why now lies under sentence of death for the murder of her child at Oldeant flrd, in this county, has conferred t h e justice of her sen tence. She admits that she threw her infant into the coal pit, but states that at the time she was in a state of distras tion, the child's father doing nothing for it, end her own father refusing to admit her into his house. A petition has been signed by the High Sheriff of the county, Sir H. H. Lochner., and by other magistrates and clergy, praying that her life may be saved, and the High Sheriff is about to present it to the Home Secretary.—A singular case of sui cide by a boy has just occurred here, which is attributed to the feet of the pending execution of this wretched woman. A youth, named Went, hung himself to a shelf in his master's (a pawnbroker) warehouse, tying himself up with a cord, and swinging himself off from a pair of stes. He was talking about the execution en hour or two before, and some people think he woo trying an experiment in hanging, when he icw. his footing and was strangled THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING. AUGUST 3, 1852. 'foul, known the deceased. The body was lying on a table in her house, with a wound Wrow the throat, five or six inches in extent. The gullet, the windpipe, and most of the larger ves sels were eompletely cut through, the ',seeing of almost any one of which would have caused death. Wit ness has attended the prisoner professionally f,r 311 ail; etion of the head. Seven weeks ago he was called iu by the do ceased to atti nd her son William, who complained of head ache, drowsiness, and ether symptoms indicating an in flamed or excited state of the brain. By wittnu's advice the prisoner was bled, and appropriate means were used to' allay the symptoms of excitement ; and in about a fortnight the prisoner told witness he was quite well. In the course of enotlu r fortnight, however, the deceaszd aLtaite came to witness, and asid William was still very unwell, and that he could not go to work. That was two or three weeks before the occurrence in question. She reqoe..ted witness to see her eon again, which he did. Prisoner appeared to be relieved, though he still com plained of headache. The mother said he was often rambling, and that he made absurd answers, hut witness, after careful examination, found him quite rational. Ile ordered some lowering remedies, and soon afterwards the mother reported favourably of the young man's progress. On Friday morning (the day preceding the fatal occurrence) the ileeeased again came to witness, and said her son did not seem so well. Witness then gave another blister fur the back of the neck, and desired to see the young man. Alter this he never saw Mrs. Thomas again alive. In reply to the magistrates, Mr. Byerly said that such a wound as Ea saw on the deceased, if inflicted during sleep, would have caused death so instantaneously as to have pre ' vented the least alarm or resistance. The prisoner bring asked in the usual manner if lie had anything to say to the witness, replied firmly, " No, I have no questions at all." Sir Edward Cult inquired of Mr. Byerly if he had had any conversation with the mother of the prisoner relative to the latter being sent to an asylum ? Mr. Byerly stated that he had advised the mother in case her son did not get better to have him properly looked after; but it was chiefly from her own reports that that advice was given, as he (witness) never saw any thing leading to the belief that the young man was vio lent, and he had never seoken an irrational word to wonew. -•-- : -- • Sir E. Cust—But from the symptoms which you saw and have described, did you not think it wrong to leave the prisoner all Friday and Saturday in such a state ? Witnesa—No; he seemed better, and as I hate stated he nevi r spoke an irrational word to me. This being the whole of the evidence, the prisoner was askel in the usual way whether he had anything to say in answer to the charge, being cautioned that whatever he did say would be taken down in evidence, and might be used against him on the trial, to which he would be sent, he ra"lied, in a firm voice," No, I have nothing to say at all." Be was then fully committed for trial at the neat Che.hire Anises, which will commence on Monday neat. At lour o'clock yesterday afternoon the county coroner opened hie inquisiti-n on the body of the murdered woman, at which the same evidence as that adduced before the ma gietrates was tendered, and the jury were still sitting when our reporter left Birkenhead. HORRIBLE MATRICIDE NEAR LIVERPOOL (room ova owx aarowria.) LIVERPOOL, MONDAY, AVOLAY 2. Yesterday the inhabitants of Birkenhead, as well as of this town and the adjacent ti:hges on the Cheshire shore, were thrown into a state of frarlial excitement by an alarm which proved to be, unfortunately but too well founded, that a most appalling asunder had but committed on the previous night in the vill.ge of l'renton, on the Cheshire side of the Mersey, under circumstances of the most harrowing description. A mother had been murdered by the hand of her own son, while sleeping by the side of en oils( r son, a lad of only Hilo yeah old, the head being nearly severed from the body by one frightful gash of a moor, and the body buried in the garden of the deceased's residence within an hour from the commissions( the terrible act As Coon as the news of the occurrence reached Liverpool our reporter repaired to the spot, to institute the necessary inquiries into the circumstances attending the melancholy crime, and the following natrativo may oe relied upon as authentic The deceased, Mrs. Thomas, • widow, resided with her three sons; William, the eldest, and the perpetrator of the horrid deed, being about 22 ; Joseph, from 19 In 20 ; and Samuel, the lad before referred to, about U or 10 years of an. Their house was situated at Trenton, in the parish of Woodchurch, bring one of three cottages inhabited by the Amities of agricultural labourers. On Saturday night William and Joseph had been drink ing together at Hough's public•house, Prentondane, en:o 10 &dirk, when William returned home, leaving his }molter brother Joseph behind. On arriving at home he his mother, who bad been anxiously expecting their Morn. Ile asked her why she was sitting up, adding that dlie might go to bed, as he intended to remain up witne MM yet. She replied that she was waiting for Joe, the liner son. lie then told her to go to bed, as he would re- Min up until Joe returned. She then went to bed to her youngest son, who &le slept with her. It is supposed that, immediately on her proceeding up stairs, her son went into the garden and dug a grave ; so short a time in tervened h.recen the cominicsion of the deed and its dis covery that the grave could only have been dug between the time of the unfortunate &menet leaving her son and Idl ing asleep never more to awoken in this world. having returned to the house, the unhappy young man armed himself with • razor, a heavy bladed black-handled instrument, and with one b'ow nearly reeered the head of his mother from the body. The little boy was awakened by what appeared to hint to be his mother falling violently against him, and on opening his eyes he discovered his elder brother engaged in the set of murdering their only remaining parent. Ile scream , d out in his fright, but the 'murderer took him up in his Orion, told him not to make • noise, and having carried him to the bed usually occupied by the two elder brothels, kissed him twice, and left him saying he would attend to him presently. He then returned to the bleeding furtn of his murdered mother; tied her hands togedier with a Iniudkerchiee wrapped her up in the counterpane, bound a rope round her waist, and theu carried her down stairs, through the kitchen or scullery, over a wicket gate !retain to the garden, up some high and almost perpendicular stone Mope, to the grave which fee must have already prepared. The young man who hail been left at the public-house eon alter thew: events had taken place returned home ; it 111116 thus not inure than eleven o'clock ; yet, in the interval, Ida mother had been murdered, her grave hail been dug. mad the soil trodden down as hard and apparently as firm as the ether ground surrounding it. Os opproseliins the house, Joseph was somewhat alarmed et Mies a light in the garilcu, and called out, " Halloo, 'dist are you doing there with a candle ? " The murderer nOistl, "Is that you, Joe?" Ilia brother answered, "Yee. Where is mot her ? " "Oh," rejoined the un happy man, " I've killed her, and buried her in the garden. She's better off now." Horrified at the terrible nature of the confession, Joseph snatched the candle from his brother's hand, being still unable to bring his mind to the reality of the fearful crime, zed rushed into the house and to his mother's room. There, indeed, the evidence wail found that n most uunatural deed bad been perpetrated. The ceiling and walls were stained with the blood, which had spirted from the death wound, end near the bed was the razor, still reeking, with which the fatal wound had been inflicted. The murderer hau followed him close, and stood by his brother's side in the room. Perceiving, then, for the first tim . o, that his little brother was also missing, Joseph in spired, with some degree of trepidation, Where,' Sane?" Raving learned where the little fellow was, he hastened to ham, took him out of the bed, and proceeded with him to a maighbour's house, with the twofold object of placing him gat of danger and of creating an alarm. As he was leaving the house, the murderer called out, "Don't make thyself That soft; it's all right now, and she's better off. You came home half an hour too soon, or it would have been all sided IF" The neighbours were speeilily alarmed, and several men neared the murderer, for the purpose of taking him to • place of safety. lie, however, remained quiet, saying, ...There need net be two cr three of you to take me ; I will go quietly ;" and afterwards adding, .1 should like to be ▪ as the trial ;" and wanted to put on his best clothes. TM Muscular strength which the man exercised in carry ing the body must have been Herculean. Yet he appears la be but slimly built, while the deceased was a fine stout woman, and it required the united exertions of three men to carry the body from the garden to the kitchen. Mrs. Thomas was 48 years of age and . the mother of eleven children ; there are several daughters now out at service, and the young man Joseph is a remarkably intelligent good looking young man, while the murderer, though by no swans repul , ire in his appearance, exhibits all indications of an organization liable to be thrown from its mental Wince the most trifling cause. From t he neighbours our reporter learnt that the pri asset and his mother lived The on terms of the greatest harful tragedy was the especial object of his mother's affec alsa, and tower de her he generally evinced the highest filial 'ward and attention. It was stated, however, that a short thee since his mind became affected, and he was unable to continue the exertion which hail hitherto aided to increase the family comforts. He had always carried the results of his week's labour to his mother, of whom be was so fund, that he would not allow her to undertake menial drudgeries, which he thought would be too severe a tax upon her strength, and the strong sympathy which existed between them naturally rendered the anticipated dilapidation of his mind the cause of heavy grief to the deceased, though there was nothing in his conduct to warrant his being placed under restraint. EXAMINATION OF THE PRISONER. This forenoon the accused was brought up in custody, at the Town-hall, Birkenhead, before J. D. Case, Esq., Shaw, Esq., and J. S. Jackson, Esq., magistrates. Towards the close of the proceedings Sir Edward Cust also made his appearance on the bench. Upon being told the nature of the charge, the prisoner said " I didn't do it to my recollection." The first witness examined was the little boy Samuel Thomas, • mild-looking child, who was intensely affected with grief. He deposed that he was sleeping with his mother at the time of the fatal occurrence, and narrated those facts which we have above recited, so far as his own observation was concerned, adding that when he awoke he saw his brother steadies over the murdered body of his mother, with a lighted candle in one hand, and an open razor in the other • and that when he ( witness ) screamed out the razor drop ped from his brother's hand, and fell tVis (the boy's) knee. ether brother, Joseph Thomas, was the next witness, Witham deposed to the circumstances we have narrated, in atlAg— the time of the occurrence, the Boding of the 11111106111 d lady of his mother buried in the price, and the OMMOMM4genset of the prisoner that he had committed the asL Om wain out with his little brother to raise an alarm, Ow phew" mid, " What's the use of being that soft; she's letter off ; you came home too soon by half an hour, or it Mold have been all aided." About a week ego witness saw a groat difference in his brother's behaviour ; he did aelleriadbe that he had been in his right mind for a year pat, but he was very violent, and was not placed in try asylum, He had w his mother p m "L i e slid was the Mme, and his oddness showed itself rather in being foolish than violent. During the last week he got more excited than usual. On being caked if he had anything to say in answer to what his brother had stated, the prisoner replied, " No, I have no questions to ask him at all." During the exami nation Joseph spoke in • low tone of voice, evidently caused by the conflicting emotions of grief and anxiety, on observing which the pruner called out in a clear, sharp tone, " Speak up, Joe ; what's the good of talking like that ?" Mr. George Royden, a farmer residing in the neighbour hood of the deceased's residence, deposed that he was called up on Saturday night by the alarm of murder. Oa going to Mrs. Thomas's be found some people digging in the back garden. They soon came to • body, and witness helped to nil it up. It was the body of the deceased, Elizabeth Thomas, who resided in the cottage with the prisoner asd her other two sons. He observed there and then that the throat was cut. There was a large gash, and nearly all the parts were severed. The body was taken into the house, where the prisoner was sitting quietly in company with a man who was placed there to guard him. After some time, witness took charge of the prisoner, for the purpose of bringing his to Birkenhead • but on the road they met Matthews, a county constable, to whom the prisoner was given up. Re remained perfectly quiet for an hour, and made no attempt to escape, but got up and came straight away with wit ness, walking half a mile without evincing any excitement, when they met the constable, by whom he was conveyed to Bridewell Being sated if he bad any questions to put to the wit ness, replied, " 06, no, not me." Hughes, a constable of the Cheshire force, de posed that be heard of the murder on Sunday morning, when he went to the house of the deceased, and saw the body of Mrs. Thomas, with the throat cut all round. The shill remained cm, and was all covered with blood. Wit ness produced a rope, which was tied tight round the body, and which he was obliged to cut, to get it off. On going up stairs he found, in the track bedroom, a striped shirt with the sleeves rolled up and very much stained with blood. There was also a pair of trouser., with the marks of blood on them ; likewise an apron, a handkerchief, a pocket, and a blanket—in the latter of which the deceased had been buried—and all stained with blood. In the feint bedroom, on the chimney piece, witness found a black-handled, henyddeded rasor,which the prisoner'sbrother identified an belonging to William • as also the shirt and trousers. The other articles belonged to 'he unfortunate deceased. Mr. Isaac Byerly, surgeon of Upton, deposed that he was called in on Saturday night, when he found the body of Mrs. Thomas at her cottage at Prestos. He had pre- FRIGHTFUL BOILER EXPLOSION AND LOSS OF LIFE. Yesterday afternoon, about s quarter past ono o'clock, a terrific explosion took place on the premises of Mr. Mark John Temkin., the proprietor of the Green Bank Saw Mills, Old Gravel -lane, s apping. The works were of a very extensive description, and no fewer than 33 men were employed in various 'tensor the saw mills,which were situated on the north side of Green Bank, a very narrow lone, surrounded with densely populated small houses, princi pally inhabited by the poorer class of Irish persons. At the time abovenamed the chief portion of the workmen were absent at dinner, and the escape of those on the pre mises is most wonde rful. Several of the mechanics were in the planing room, the smith's shop, and sawing room, while two were sitting in the boiler house, taking their dinner, when they were alarmed by hearing a rumbling noise similar to thunder, and before they could rush to the yard the boiler and the shed were blown to pieces, the !nicks, MOW., tiles, and ironwork were carried an immense height into the air, and fell in various places to the distance of a quarter of a mile. No time was lost in clearing the ruins and sending for the aid of the police. Mr. Inspector Sullivan and Sergeant Lewis, of the K divi sion, immediately despatched a body of constables from the station at Ahadwell to the scene of the catastrophe, where in a few minutes they discovered Charles Vernal, aged 62, a bricklayer, who happened to be at work on the roof of the building. Ile was quite insensible, and was promptly examined by a surgeon, but the unfortunate man was so much injured that it was deemed neces-ary to con vey hint on a stretcher to the accident ward of the London Hospital. The poor fellow had receivtd a dislocation of the right shoulder joint, fractured ribs, variour bruises and contusions over the body, which was shockingly scalded in several parts. lie was placed in bed and every assistance afforded him, but he expired in two hours after his admis sion. No one else was missing, as tar as could be learned from strict inquiries which had been made. The violence of the explosion may be ima gined, when a large piece of lead, weighing 32 lbs., which formed a portion of the safety-valve, was blown through the roof across several streets, to • distance of 300 feet, falling by the side of the private residence of Mr. Wesley, the dust contractor, Old Gravel-lane, where it passed through the stone pavement into the earth. A piece of timber eight feet long fell on the root of the house in the occupancy of Mr. Boxier, bootmaker, and caused great I injury to the upper part of the building. The premises of Mears. Knight and Sow, soap manufacturers, Prince's street, at the rear of the saw mills, were also seriously shat tered. A pest number of private dwellings in Anchor and Hope-al, Raymond's-place, Calvert-street, Rest Lion street, a nother places, were more or less injured by the falling bricks, pantiles, &c. Portions of the boiler have been found in various parts, and other pieces have not yet been recovered. A female, Margaret Donovan. was injured on the head by a brick striking her while sitting in the garden at the back of her residence In Anchor and Hope-alley, but she is going on favourably. Several children likewise received slight injuries. Mr. Tonkin is insured, and the damage is estimated at about 4,0001. The CUM of the sad disaster is attributable to some defect in the boiler. I THE ABDUCTION CABE.—We now append some further particulars which have reached ua. The handbills we have before alluded to proclaimed the fact that the oung lady in question was the daughter of the Rev. Mr. Johns tone, and her husband is Captain Money, of the East India service. Owing to the present threatening aspect of our Indian affairs we believe the gallant captain has been required to join his regiment. Perhaps the young lady her self was unwilling to be separated by such a distance from her parents—perhaps her parents were equally unwilling to expose her to the hardships and perchance sufferings of an Indian campaign. Be that as it may, one thing is certain, the young lady, so far as her husband was concerned, was HMS est, and that worthy gentleman made up his mind that he would recover his lovely bride tout* qui cage. Mounted horsemen were employed to vigilantly watch the neigh bourhood in which it was believed the lady wan secreted. The magnums@ was, that on the afternoon of Tuesday a carriage was seen to leave the house of a gentleman in the neighbourhood of the father's residence, in which were the young lady and her father and mother. The carriage was closely followed by one of these mounted horse men, who observed that they took the read to Ba'h. He soon came up with another person engaged on the same errand, and desired him to follow the carriage to Bath, and keep a close eye on it whilst he galloped across the country to Bristol for Mr. Money. Off went the car rugs with a spy at its heels, and off went the mounted horseman to linstol, as fast as his Bucephalus would Garry him. The hard riding of this last gentleman was not for some time attendedjwith much success, for when he arrived at Bristol Mr. Money was not to be found. ' However, the services of that active officer, Superintendent Barton, were called into requisition, when he soon traced the father, mother, and young lady herself. The latter was questioned by Mr. Hughes, the superintendent of the Bath police, and declared to him that she was not sating under any constraint from her father and mother. Under these circumstances she was allowed to proceed by the train to London, a proper person going by the same train fur the purpose of ascertaining whether they got out at any of the intermediate stations, so that immediate in formation of the same might be given to Mr. Money. In the meantime Captain Money was communAtted with, and he followed on by the mail train, and we have reason to believe that the young lady has been given up to her loving and persevering husband. We hope that for the future all will Go Lorry as onniage bell" Thus sods a page of real life, reberobling rather a pago of romance.—Bristol Mirror. MELANCHOLY AND FATAL ACCIDENT.—An acci dent resulting in the death of a labourer, 60 years of age, and serious injury to four other persons, has just occurred in North Penrallt, Carnarvon. An aged woman, one of many who occupy • lodging house in the above locality, accidentally set her bed on lire during the night of Fridey. Her 'eremite brought a man inhabiting an adjoining room to her snide:ice, and he succeeded in placing her in safety. Meanwhile, another inmate of the house, losing her pre. Bence of mind, rushed through the flro and threw the burn ing bed clothes and straw down the stairs. The decease!, who slept below, on coming out of his room was met by the flames, which burned with redoubled fierceness, and he was so severely scorched about the neck and face that he sur vived but a law hours. Two of the lodgers leaped from an upper window into the street, and were but slightly in ured by the fall. A man and child were considerabl urnt ; and the female who spread tho fire, together with the man who rescued the old woman, use so seriously in jured that great doubts are entertained of their recovery. FRIOHTYUL SUICIDE ON THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.—On Saturday afternoon the village of Choler'', Barks, closely adjacent to the Wallingford station of the Great Western Railway, was most painfully excited in con sequence of • determined act of suicide by • man in the employ of the company, named Thomas Wets. On Satur day morning last he left home to see, ea was his custom, where his or his men's services were needed, end about 12 o'clock was observed to be standing, apparently in a thoughtful mood, near to the Wallingford station. Shortly after that hour an express train was seen coming up, and on its approach towards the station the deceased ran forward and threw himself across the rails. By the engine he was struck and knocked forward at least 150 yards, and the while of the utensil's passed over him, mutilating him in • dreadful manner. The remains of the unfortunate et.e. cemed being collected together, were conveyed to the neraest tavern, they to await an inquest. SPORTING. TATTERSALL'S—MoNnAy.

THE TEN HOURS FACTORS' QUESTION.—NIEETING or Deczosl7.ll.—On Sunday last a meeting of delegates from factory operatives was held in the Cotton Tree Inn (Mr. Wm. Fair's), Great Ancoats-street, Manchester. After considerable discussion, a delegate from Ashton under-Lyne moved the following resolution That our endeavours during the present year to vindicate the pre sent factory law, and to secure the necessary improvements, I have the approval of a majority of the factory workers re pre•ented at this meeting, as evidenced by the reports of their delegates here assembled, we therefore pledge our selves, should any further agitation be necessary to aceom plish the above objects, to urge upon our respective Coll4li. tuencies to provide such funds as may be necessary, and thus make the present Factory Act effective for its intended purposes." The Blackburn delegate seconded the resolu tion, which was carried. TILE POTATO ])[CEASE IN SCOTLAND.—In some parts of the Lothians the potato disease has reappeared. It was first seen about the 20th, in the gardens, and, with some trifling exceptions, it is still only to be found existing there. It did not snake much progr, es until the 26th. When first seen on the leaves, none of the tubers were affected, but after four days, it had descended and affected a part of them likewise. The conditions under which it has again become apparent are just such as marked its com mencement formerly. A strung, luxuriant crop, with the tubers well formed, growing in a deep, soft soil, moist from recent rains, is the situation where it first shows itself ; and when there are three separate sorts of potatoes, the earliest is first attacked. It is useless to speculate about its increase, u the weather seems to exert great influence over it.—Sooesioars. ARRIVAL OF THE FIRST STEAM COLLIER IN TIIE THAMM—Yestenlay the John Bowes screw steamer, Scott, master, the precursor of a series of iron steamers intended to compete with the railways in the carriage of coal% from the north, was hauled into Poplar New Docks, to deliver her cargo, having arrived on Saturday with nearly 600 tons of coals from Newcastle-on-Tyne. 1 his vtssel is built of iron, by Misers. Palmer, of Jarrow, which firm has another vessel, the Countess of Strathmore, 20 feet longer, and of improved construction, designed for the same trade, aireldy laid down and planned. The John Bowts Is 46.5 tons re gister, but capable of carrying upwards of 600 tons of coals. Her engines, of direct acti n, by Messrs. Stephenson end Co., of Newcastle, are nominally of 70 horse power, but will work up to 210. Every provision has been made for the economy of space and fuel. Two similar vessels lidb• been built at Liverpool ter the Hartlepool and Londoi , and another, by Marshall, of South Shields, to ply between that port and the Thames ; and all the great builders at Newcastle, Sunderland, And other ports in the north, are so full of orders for the 'same description of vessels, that in about twelve months it is expected sailing colliers will be entirely supersede-I. DEFECTIVE DRAINAGE OF LOWER HOLLOWAY.— A general meeting of the managers of the Holloway Dig. primary was UM night held at their house, to take into con sideration the defective drainage of that locality. Samuel Lewis. Esq., in the chair.—The Chairman laid before the meeting copies of numerous letters which had been receised by the rosters of the parish from the several commis,ions of sewers which have for the last four years sat in theck street, S oho, each of which was fully aware of the just grounds which the inhabitants of the district had for com plaint, promised redress, and prepared the necessary plans, but was superseded before it could carry them into execu tion. The Chairman also produced q report, drawn up by the medical officers of the Dispensary, which gave the fol lowing picture of the sanitary condition of the district The water from the surrounding high grounds has a ten dency to gravitate towards Lower Holloway. The sewers are to ,1, (plate for the rinieval of land water. After rain, the roads continuo in a wet state for several days. The back streets, where uo drainage is to be found, present a worse state; a surface of tenacious clay precludes infiltra tion through the ground, a large quantity is consequ, ntly removed by evaporation, inducing an unnatural humidity of the atmosphere, and presenting a condition calculated for the cicvelopment of fever,, bronchial affections, rheuma tism, and other diseases." —Mr. Prentice moved, and Mr. Greenwood 'collided, the nomination of a committee, to call a meeting of the inhabitants, and to wait upon the new commis ion. A vote of thanks to the Chairman terminated the proceedings. ~ • -`v 4 xi...?...., ..ii.5 3 :•._. - , -`7 i l r'l ,--s ''i't i •(i'l , \ 7- 1 .2 * . f..-- . -: 1 I
