He never became coosious, and died at six o'clock last weenie'. There an three large and deep wounds at the back of the head, which It is oonsidered could not have been done by a fall. The medical gentlemen are of opinion that they most hays been iceocted by some person from behind. The brother of the unfortunate deceased seys that be was in tolerably good ci rcums t ances . On Thursday, when he left home, he (the brother) saw some silver in his hand, aid he imagines a sovereign also. He wee possessed of three watches, and one, in particular, he always carried with him. When he was picked up this wee not upon his person, neither could it be toned at home upon a strict search being made. The other two, however, were safe in the house.

Sir George Grey had sax• t anti an increase of pay to some of the moo of the above force. The notice has alresdy given great dissatisfaction to the ergeants, who will only receive 2s. per week more than the first class constables. At pre sent there are WX) sergesuts receiving 245. 6d. per week, and out of this number 138 are to be raised to 25e. 6d. per week.

Upon an average each 5e:g , ...1,t boa to pay 2.. lii. per week to the widows of deceased ser.;eanto. while a constable only pays one peony to the sidow of a deed constable, so that by this allowance in many cases a sergeant will receive sixpeoce per week lees than a tirst-class con.teble. The sergeants, who are to be raked the Is. I.er week are to be principally those that are ei.-tze.l in the duties of acting inspector'. All men who now join the police are told that they will have to remain i❑ the force 30 years before they are entitled to a pension.

(sT smarm =sawn.) SHEFFIELD, SLTUIDAT Young°. Shortly before 1 o'clock this morning a great reservoir, at Bradfield, six miles from Sheffield, burst its embankment. The area of the reservoir was 95 acres, and but just finished. This enormous body of water rushed down the valley of the Don, sweeping away all the bridges over the river, a great number of houses on its banks, and destroying, it is feared, scores of their inhabitants. The lower part of Sheffield was submerged several feet deep, and hundreds of families driven from their homes. The flood has not yet subsided, and the damage is incalculable.—Times (second edition).

ANCrTHEB AOOOIINT. The Suffield Telegraph says : " About midnight, a large reservoir connected with the waterworks, and extending to above a mile in length, situated about seven miles from the town, suddenly burst in and inun dated the valley of the Don, sweeping away entire villages, drowning the sleeping in habitants by hundreds. Trees were uprooted, and the dibris of buildings carried down the river was immense. In some of the streets of Shef field the dibrit is piled up eight or ten feet high, and among it are found fragments of furniture and many dead bodies. For more than an hour the streets near the river were three and four yards deep iu water. Great numbers of men are now engaged getting dead bodies out of houses, where they have been drowned in bed ; others are being gathered in from gardens into which they have floated. "The excitement in the town cannot be de scribed. Business is at a standstill. The extent of mischief cannot be ascertained. Hundreds of lives are sacrificed. The dam was a new one. The immense volume of water is still pouring on in its course of destruction. Rotherham, Doncaster, and many other town<will suffer ere the river Trent receives the excess of water which has thus been set liberty." THE HOME OFFICE AND THE CO,VDEMBED CONVICT GEORGE HALL.
