THE LATE Ma. Bitmon, or Hicnntr.—The frightful outrage of which this amiable man was the victim has roused public sympathy with the bereaved family, and abhorrence of the crime which destroyed • most useful life in a degree seldom in our experience surpassed. He wee born, we believe, in the year 1793, in the picturesque village of Cart rue!, in the northern extremity of the county of Lancaster. His family were of the middle class, sod members of the Church of England. His education was received in the grammar school of his native place, the school is which Dr. Edmond Law (afterwards the Bishop of Carlisle). received the early rudiments of his education. At sixteen years of age Mr. Briggs left Cannel and came to London, when he found • situation at once in the banking•house of Sir John Lubbock. Here Mr. Briggs remained until the firm wu amalgamated with that of Messrs. Roberta, in Lombard•street. He had, by the steady per formance of his duties and his spotless character, raised himself to the highest post in the establishment which wee open to those not actual partners in the hem. Whoa the amalgamation took place Mr. Briggs was appointed to the same important post in the establishment of the Messrs. Roberts. He was well qualified for the important duties of his post, u well by SU long experience as by his calmness of judgment and his frank and cordial manners. The severe toils sod responsibilities of his post, especially at and soon after the amalgamation of the firms, at ow time proved too great for his strength. He broke down, and suffered for some months front severe Moen. A visit'suteequent to convaleemince to his native place seemed, however, to have re-established his health, and his friends were happy to coogratulate hint oe he renovated looks sod strength. Mr. Briggs was is his domestic and social mistime vary happy. The head of a tarp family, he was always affectionate and kind, and in the pleasant cow teem of social life no one could better perform his part. He was united by marriage in relationship with the late Mr. John Edwin Netherville, of the Stock Exchange, • man of singularly benevolent heart and genial manner. Inquirer. MALT TOR FEEDING CATTLE.—AII experiment was concluded in Cumberland list week which is interesting to farmers and others, as showing the relative feeding proper ties of malt and beaky. On the 9th of April lug eight Irish heifers, as nearly equal in quality, size, and weight as it was possible to find them, were fastened up in the premises of Mr. Wyndham, brewer, Cockerusenth, to fatten. Four of these were fed upon barley, and four upon equal measures of malt. The result at the sod of 13 weeks was in favour of barley by 30Ib. upon the four, which sold for 61. 10e. more money than those fed upon malt. The owner lost Is. per bead by the experiment. SUPPOSED MURDER NEAR Norm:mums. —A mur der, accompanied with violence, is supposed to have been um mitred late on Friday night, or early on Saturday morning lent, on the Loudon-road, • mile and • half from Notting ham, the victim being Mr. Themes Henley, a master black smith, whose body was afterwards leered in • canal, a quarter of a mile from his shop, the skull being fractured and his watch and money stole°. There are various rumours as to the manner is which be met his death. Os the previous day he had been drinking deeply, and about 11 o'clock at night be was in the Bell publiehouse, Parliameatetreet, Nottingham. He was decidedly the worse for liquor, and wanted • cab to take him home. A cab was procured. and he then said he had no money to pay for it, as be had been robbed of 7t. Hs then started to walk home, and was taken by some of his companions part of the way. Some time afterwards he was asses on the Trent-bridge, SOO yards from when his body was found, in company with a woman. On Saturday morning, between 3 and 4 o'clock, two men discovered hint in the canal. His head and feet were in the water, but his back was quite dry. There were several wounds on his head, but ne marks of • scuffle having taken place on the bank were perceptible. A basket and fork belonging to the deceased were found on the haulieg•path. An inquest will be held on the body on Monday before Mr. Brown. OPERA DI CAIIERS.—We understand that im mediately after the close of the present season at the Gallery of Illustration, Mr. German Reed will follow up his previous success in the production of Opera di Camera, with • new work from the pea of one of oar most popular composers. TURNING Lor.itturr To Accounr.—An Italian gentleman, with greater sagacity, devised a more productive pump, and kept it in action at far less expense. The prides wall of his villa adjoined the go-at bleb road leading front ow of the capitals of northern Italy (Tenn), from which it was distant but a few miles. Possessing within his garden • fine spring of water, he erected on the outside of the wall • pump for public use, sod &tinier to it • small iron ladle, he placed near it some rode seats for the weary traveller, and by • slight roof of climbing plants protected the whole from the mid•day sun. In this delightful shads the tired and thirsty travellers on that well•heaten road ever and anon reposed and refreshed themselves, and did not fail to put in requisitioo the service of the pump so opportunely preseeted to them. From morning CI sight many • dusty and wayworn pilgrim plied the beadle, and went on his way, blaming the liberal pro prietor for his kind unaideratiou of the passing stranger. But the owner of the villa was deeply scquaioted with human nature. He knew in that sultry climate that the liquid would be more valued from its scarcity, and from the difficulty of acquiring it. He therefore, to enhance the value of the gift, wisely arranged the pump so that its spout was of rather contracted dimensions, and the heoille required a moderate application of force to work it. Under these circumstances the pump raised far more water then could peas through its spout; and, to prevent its being wasted, the surplus was conveyed by an invisible chemist to • large reservoir judiciously placed for waterlog the pro prime?, own bonsai, stables, and garden—into which about five pints were poured fot every spoonful passing out of the spout for the benefit of the weary traveller. Even this latter portion was not entirely neglected, fur the waste-pipe conveyed the part which ran over from the ladle to some delicious strawberry beds at a lower level. — Passages frost She Lift of s PhilosspAer, by Charles &saws r;) ;I i Was. 111 BO- ! 9 71 1 - 74 ao ma ei 7 41 .... 148 Is' ri ii 1 i , i 2 1 i II i n xd gi 74 at id
