Ir there were any probability that the anti reform resolution of Mr. MAMET would be carried, the House of Commons could hardly be expected to spend another night in debating the second read ing of the Ministerial Bill. That resolution is a vote of want of confidence, unqualified in meaning and unequivocal in terms. Votes of censure have Lien sometimes framed with such ambiguity of expression as to win support from the unwary. But the inventors of Mr. Musisr's motion, whoever they may be, disdain disguise, and seem to prefer the bluntness of insult to the hope of doing serious harm. For no expression of distrust in the capacity or judgment of Ministers can be more curt and contemptuous under the circum• stances than that which the Chairman of Ways and Means has announced his intention of moving as soon as the Reform Bill shall have been read a second time. It was because the late Govern ment were deemed incompetent to frame and carry a suitable measure that they were expelled from office. It was because Parliament believed Lord Jolts RUSSELL and Lord PALMERSTON the safest men who could be entrusted with that task that they were called to power. To turn upon them now and tell them that they do not know their business, and that the gravest and greatest duty of advisees of the Crown and leaders of the Legisla ture ought to be taken out of their hands, would be a vote of condemna tion, in which no men of public spirit could ad/Meese, and which no Parliament would pronounce unless it were prepared for an immediate change of administration. That Messrs. Houssas and MAMMY and their Tory confederates are disposed to look with complacency on such an event may be true ; but they will find it somewhat difficult, we apprehend, to persuade a majority of the House of Commons to incur the responsibility of placing at the head of affairs an Austrian and Anti-Reform Cabinet. Among Conservatives as well as Liberals there are many who have neither personal objects of their own to serve by factious conduct, nor personal pi q ue and disappointment on the part of others to mislead them through their sympathies. Your unappreciated men, who are every now and then tempted to undennine those whom they regard as standing in their way, eve not always very clear calculators of the chances of the game they are impatient to play. There are some things Obeyers aptto overlook—decency is one of these thinly., and the clear-eyed, disinterested, said passionless jedpamet of the public is another. W e regret to be obliged to my that Mr. Msisev ham unfortunately allowed himself to be beguiled into an act which, if persisted in, would imply an obtuseness of perception in both respect. that is a Mom to be met with. In the first administra tion of Lon! PALICILA,m,x his unrecognisable ser vices to the Liberal party were rewarded with the isot of I 'inler•Sivretary of State. That office he contuined to hold until the dissolution of 1867, when he was specially selected to contest the borough of helloed against a supporter of Lord Joux REINS= and Mr. CoSURN. Successful in that enterprise, h. held Mice until the c!ianice of government the fol lowing year. On the fall of the DARBY Administra tion, all neetiena of the Liberal party agreed to an act of oblivion as to lit feuds. All the anibi bone amidst* be satisfied, nor was it possible that all the eompetitive pfttcnamos of i n di v id ual , 00u i d b e net. But the fact that Mr. Jimmy's were by his appointment to the chairmanship of Ways and Means, and Mr. Lowe, by his appoint meat to the Vice-Presidency of the Council, wee, r .."-f. that no exclusion was thought of on account of bygone transactions. What i then, is to be thought—we do not say Of the propriety—but of the decency of a vote ti. want of confidence, proposed by one who up to the present moment continues to roar the deities; Lions and to appropriate the profit, of the polities' confidence shown him by the reconciled °kids of the party to which he has hitherto professed to belong ! Will Mr. Massey venture to aver in his defence that faith has been broken with him or others by the framers of the pendini.Bill ! Or that any of its leading provisions are at variance with the principles on which he and his ex-official friends sought the aid of the more advanced Liberals, and thus won their way back to power! If his conscience is troubled on this head his obvious duty is to make • clean breast of it, and to vote manfully against the second reading. If he could make out even a plausible case he would no doubt get a good many trimmers and Tories to divide along with him. He might probably lose Sal ford, as Mr. Hos/ows will lose Stroud, but the country would be saved, or at least that chiefest jewel it contains —Mr. Manutv's consistency. The course upon which he has entered is unhappily a wholly different one—one which, on reflection, neither he nor any true friend of his will attempt to palliate or defend. Using the station given him by Ministers, he suddenly, and without notice to them, declares his desire to play into the hands of the Anti-Reform party by raising an obstructive discussion upon a proposal to get rid of the Bill by referring it to a Select Committee—in other words, by • declaration that Lord Joey Resent and Sir demos Lewis, Lord 1 1 ...L10N/TON and Mr. Giareross, with the aid of their distinguished eassgues, are not worthy of confidence or the outward semblance of respect from the House or the country. What precise result Mr. MAMMY proposes to himself by offering this wanton insult to the best and ablest statesmen of the day, we do not under take to explain. If the move be only the first of a series, having for their object protracted delay, we shall soon be in a condition to annex to it its appropriate designation, and to clarify it accord ing to the motives that shall appear to have inspired it. Meanwhile we shall be somewhat curious to learn what the gentlemen who met the other evening at Salford to ask for a second repre sentative in Parliament think of the one they have got. If the men of Salford approve of conduct hie that of Mr. Massey, the rest of the commu nity has the strongest interest in opposing their acquisition of the right to make another such choice.

The followil so t h the text of the sAldreme4 in reply to the from the throne which we r e presented to e King by the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies : ADDRESS OP TIII ORATE Bire,—Durin the COUJIIO of the grave &este that bare been aecomped between the lest legislative maiden and this most fortunate day, our payers have always followed 7o A war, as short as glorious, in which you and your powerful ally gained as many victories as you fought tattles, has led to splendid results, and prepared new and high destinies for this It l 7 which proclaimed you Bing whilst saluting in you her l ib erator. The Bloats, which had shared in her griefs, now shares in her profound joy, and rejoices at your personal glory, which is a national triumph. The mournful sacrifice that your Majestyimposiee on your self in order to consolidate the union of the two nations by reciprocal confidence and closer ties is deeply felt by the Senate : there remains at least, Sire, for you and for us the consolatory thought that by • series of circumstances iden tical in their nature Divine Providence has realised our dearest hopes. The Senate will make it its duty to co-operate with the greatest zeal towards the adoption of the measures 110Call wary for the organisation of • state in which the new pro vinces contend with the old once not only in love and loyalty towards the august Sovereign, but also in civic wedeln, and the passionate love of liberty and of their country's independence. Should any serious obstacle yet arise, your Majesty, following the examples of firmness and moderation set by your glorious ancestors, will know how to surmount them y showing yourself to be both • catholic prince and • con stitutional king, and in this enterprise, as in all the rest, you will be able to depend on the applause and assistance both of the parliament and the nation. The Senate, which feels its splendour and authority in creased by the treasures of civil science brought to it by the new honourable colleagues from so many illustrious provinces now annexed to your kingdom, entertains the steadfast hope, as regards the internal administration, that the moment is not remote when the country will enjoy tles happineas it has deserved through the magnanimous sacri fices it hes made with so much good sense and supported with so much courage. of Ss diocese of Annecy, which has been printed 'sad addressed to all the clergy, expresses itself in enthusiastic terms in favour of France, and in the bitterest against England and Switzerland.

Bire,—The solemn words with which your Majesty bas announced the fortunate issue of the favourable presses under which the last legislative session opened, have pene trated the touched and grateful hearts of the representa tives of your people, and especially of the representatives of those provinces with whose sufferings you have not sympathised in vain, nor in vain protected their hopes. If all the hopes have not yet been listened to and ful. Med, if all the sufferings havo not been alleviated, Pro vidence has nevertheless rewarded worthily your proofs of valour and loyalty ; it has consecrated by the victory of your arms, and by universal suffrage, the unanimous desire of eleven millions of Italians. Thanks to the aid of • powerful ally, thanks to the gal lantry at the armies and the abnegation of the volunteers, thanks to the good sense and admirable firmness of your peoples, you have joined to your ancient provinces the new ones of Lombardy, the EMililL, and Tuscany, and you have formed with them this powerful Italian state, that will henceforth be the indestructible foundation of the nation. Assembled now around you, the representatives of this state. the guardian and avenger of the rights and destinies of Italy, feel the desire of thanking you for all that you have done for the benefit of our common country. They know that, without failing in constancy during mis fortune, without having leis faith during danger, you de serve the praise of having raised up the courage of the nation, and set the find example of making great sacrifices. And now that we are asked to make • sacrifice which is the greatest for your heart now that you cede, for the good of Italy, the possension of noble and faithful provinces, they deeply feel your anguish, sail rally round your throne with the greatest affection. Great difficulties still remain to be overcome, but you will And in the devotedness of the people, in the certain convic tion of your right, and in the respect of all civi li sed na tions, the requisite force for preventing any affront, for triumphing over every menace. Spiritual arms, employed in worldly conflicts and for mundane intercede, can avail nothing with a soul like yours, profoundly devoted to the faith of your sweaters, and conscious of having done right. There is nothing to be feared for your authority wherever the name of oountry is sacred and the culture of civic vir. toes actively developed. The venerated symbol of our common hopes—this authority is for your people and for Italy the higliut and most precious poeeeesion ; no one can be apprehensive of seeing its splendour diminish. When the most urgent propositions shall have been die cussed we shall be in readiness for your Majesty's govern. meat to invite us to deliberate on the laws for ordering the sew state. -- Inthevariety of the ordinances governing the provinces new joined together we shall seek the unity that binds but dues not subject, leaving to each of them that portion of strength, the impression of which is borne by national civil isation, we shall fasten with cos knot those master-bonds that will establish the solidity of the state. This happy junction of the glorious historical traditions with the new Italian destinies hasbeen already inherited by you, and thus will the future prosperity of the nation be secured. Sire, this thew life, which owing to you is opening to so large a portion of Italy : this example, so beautiful, of civil virtue ; this concord, so rare, of men's minds—if they con trast with the eommotions and the aggravated sufferings of other Italian provinces —exhibit nevertheless the maturity of the common destinies and the value of the liberty ac quired. We—who assembled near you as the members of a dispersed family, who recognise and joyously embrace each other, although this joy may be impaired by the pious desire of se the absent ones—we feel the full value of your word which announces a new Italy— the Italy of the Italians. This wont will be present at each of our deliberations ' • it will be the light of our councils ; it will be an Incentive for us ,• for others less fortunate than we are, an encouragement and pr.sege. It will be • great day for us when we shall be able to repeat it, since we shall perceive the greatness of the ration in the imperishable glory of your name. The TU/14:611 Monitore publishes the following proclamation : People of Tuneany,—At length I can announce to you a very happy event, the precursor of the greatest happiness to you and to all Italy. Your King, the King of the Italian kingdom, will soon be in the midst of you. We, lan emancipated people, gathering unanimous and resolute around the brave and loyal King, are founding by our unites the independence of Italy, are laying the bases of the nation, are securing with the repose of Europe the rliOts and prerogatives of humsa dignity and civilisation. This Italian kingdom, the sacred arch of the country's hopes, has been the work of the Italian people's wisdom, concord, perseverance, and strength. The sacred arch must not be dishonourably abandoned and deserted half way. Enveloped and defended more than ever by your virtnee,it must appear brilliant in the eyes of everyone, the tutelary rampart of common civilisation round which all the sons of Indy will form themselves in army to combat the enemy, whoever he may be. Victor Emmanuel is the arm chosen by the Lord for this great national work ; he is the avenger, the depositary end champion of the country's destinies. People of Tuscany, raise yourselves to the exalted level of Tour king ; make it your duty and your glary to be his faithful and wise cooperators for the completion of Italy's greatness Xay he joyfully behold in you the fruits of the political and civic virtues that have hitherto gloriously conducted you to the port, and may ho have the conviction, dear to his heart, that by persevering in thernyou will repeat one day with your brethren and him— Italy is the work of the Italians. Florence, April 12. The Governor-Genend of the Provinoes of Tuscany, B. RICAISOLL M. LAITY IN SAVOY. (ROM ♦ COI GENEVA, APVL 14. I am in a position to communicate to you some fresh information respecting M. Senator Laity's progress in Savoy. At a dinner which was given to him at St. Jeoize it appears that he stated that Swiss troops would perhaps occupy Chablis and Faucigny ; that the inhabitants must make no resistance, and that, later, France would compen sate them for all the damage they might have to suffer; that simultaneously four divisions of the French army would enter the cantons of Vaud and Geneva ; that the Emperor was quite resolved to keep the neutralised portions of Savoy, although he might run the risk of a coalition of the powers of Europe against France. M. Laity, in all his official visits, wore a tri oolour sash ; and every one of his proceedings had obviously the intention of impressing upon the people that the annexation to France is hence forward an accomplished fact. In order to increase the number of the partisans of France on the (lay of voting, Savoyards who have for many years inhabited France, and have become altogether French, are being brought back into the country. Their names are inserted on the electoral lists, unobjected to; and they will be called upon to vote, in what way it is . unneemeary to say. As for the partisans of Switzerland, it seems pretty certain that they will abstain from voting at all. This is, no doubt, the best answer they tan give ; a vote iu the negative would he in terpreted as one as much in favour of Piedmont as of Switzerland. The clergy of Savoy are actively canvassing in favour of France. A letter of the Vicar General THE FRIEND 0.8 THE CLERGY. Last evening the annual festival of this corpora tion was celebrated at the Albion Tavern, Alderegate-street• Vice-Chancellor Sir W. P. WOOD in the chair, A, the Bishop of Chester, the DIM of Ripon, the Rev. Joseph Brown, the Rev. Archibald Boyd, the Rev. Thomas Jackson, and several other gentlemen, many of whom were members of the clerical profession amongst the toasts usually given on these comic= was that of the Prince Consort and the Prince of Wales, in pro posing which the Chairman paid a passing tribute to the circumstances under which the heir to the British crown was about to visit the Canadian colony. The learned Chairman also proposed "The Health of the Archbishops and Bishops of the United Church of England and Ire} , and this toast was responded to by the Bishop of Chester, who took the opportunity of disclaiming, on his own part and on that of th e general patrons of this institution, any intention to support the present charity in opposition to another of a similar character. There was ample scope for both institutions to do all the good which it was hoped, on their being established, they might be enabled to perform ,• and he was glad to state that many who subsoribed to the one were amongst the warmest patrons of the other. In introducing the toast of the evening—" Prosperity to the Friend of the Clergy"—the Chairman observed that six or seven years ago he t pied the same position he now had the honour to be in, and he was glad to And that since that period e society bad so far prospered that at the present moment (although the institution had only been in existence ten years) 89 widows were recipients of the benefits conferred by this charity. When they considered the increesing number of the clergy—who now com prised some twenty thousand—it was gratifyin to Imow that this and the cor re s ponding institution ( ' The Boas of the Clergy") was duly supported, and that the funds of the present society were increasing, although an anonymous correspondent of a London daily journal had most incorrectly stated that their expenses had increased in proportion as their income had diminished. The com mittee were most desirous of keepingthe expenditure of the institution within moderate bounds, but it wee absolutely necessary that they should disburse certain monies in ad vertisements and in other ways fur the purpose of calling public attention to the objects and pro gress of the society ; and it was worthy of remark that of seven similar institutions " The Friend of the Clergy" stood third in regard to the low rate of their expen diture. Since the formation of the society they bad dis tributed amongst the recipients of its bounty no less than 24,47 W., and they were most anxious to obtain the mesas of doing still more good than they had hitherto been able to accomplish. The Chairman's appeal was so far responded to that the secretary afterwards announced an addition of 6001. to the funds of the charity. The musical arrange ments were conducted by Mr. Francis, who was ably assisted by Miss Eyles, Miss Leffler, Mr. Benson, and Mr. Winn. Mr. Harker was the toastmaster. BRITISH ORPHAN ASYLUM. The anniversary dinner in aid of the funds of this valuable charity took place yesterday evening at the London Tavern, under the presidency of the Most Noble the Marquis of BRISTOL, supported by Lord John Hervey, Hon. General Upton, Mr. H. S. Thornton (treasurer), Aldermen and Sheriffs Phillips and Gabriel, Rev. C. Mac kenzie, S. K. Cattley, J. Wallis, J. Tanner, J. Hub bard, J. T. Wilkinson, C. N. Wilkinson, C. Woo/10ton, Hy. Simpson, Wm. Brown, John Jones, Julio' Mayhew, Revs. ' Dr. Ili ff , and about 150 other gentlemen, supporters of the charity. The musical arrangements, which were under the direction of Mr. Edwin Gray, included the Misses Wells, and Messrs. Mostem Smith, Wilson, and Burgeon. Mr. Toole was the toastmaster. The CHAIRMAN in proposing the toast of the evening briefly sketched the rise and progress of the institution. It was established, he said, in 1827, for the reception of orphans, the children of persons in the middle; and upper classes of society. Since then it had received 500 children, 400 of whom bad been reared, educated, and sent out into the world, sod 90 still remained on the foundation. The educa tion and training were of the best description, and those who had gone out into the world had shown their appreciation of the benefits they had received from the institution, they in their turn becoming its supporters. (Cheers.) At the next election, in June, 39 candidates were expected , but the directors in the present state of the funds could not receive more than 10. The funded property yielded but 900 f. a year, so that the charity was obliged mainly to rely on the well known liberality of the British public. The sopeal of the chairmin was much strengthened by an observation of Alderman and Sheriff Gabriel to the effect, that he, in his position of a magistrate, saw so much of the miseries of juvenile destitution in the City, that he conceived it to be the duty of every man to come forward and support institutions like the present, which were in tended for its prevention. An allusion to the volunteers by the chairman in one of his .perches created great enthusiasm, and brought up Lord JOHN HERVEY, who, amid loud cheers, assured the ladies in the gallery, and the gentlemen at the table, that the volunteers would soon Let all the world know That the sons of those archers of England Are her riflemen now. Mr. C. WooLLorox, when returning thanks for the com mittee of management, stated that five years since the directors had met in that room to consider whether or no they should dissolve the institution. They had then 1,9001. in hand, and owed 1,8001., so that they were solvent only to the extent of 1001., whilst they had 63 children in the school. Binoe then, however, the exertions of their friends had prospered amazingly, as they had now 7,0001. in hand to meet emergencies, and an annual income from property to the amount of 204/. Besides this, they had 1,2501. from annual subscriptions, leaving a difference to be made up of 1,4001. annually from special sources, such as the festival of that evening, sermons, bazaars, Le. The list of subscriptions and collection made up a total of nearly 1,0001. CHURCH or ENGLAND YOUNG MEN 9 B SOCIETY.— The twelfth anniversary meeting of the eastern bnuich of this society was held last evening at the Beaumont institu tion, The chairman, Mr. Robert Hanhury, M.P., in opening the proceeding. of the evening, called attention to the value of this society, and to the in-olculable good that had resulted, and was likely to result, from such insti tutions. He hoped this branch would continue to Sourish. The report (which upon the whole was highly satisfactory), having been read by the secretary, Mr. M. F. Buchner, the ltev. Canon Champneys delivered an address on "Self deception, Self-righteousness, Self-renunciation, Self-coin mama," which he delivered in his usual forcible and pleas ing style. Mr. John Ila,lgregor, barrister-at-law, was the next speaker, and chose for his subject, " Young Men in Russia and America." The concluding speaker was the Rev. Mr. MVO. °yams Tog FRANCE—The French national paddleboat Memel', Le Roy commander, arrived at Fal mouth on Monday evening from Brest, in order to load a cargo of oysters purchased there, through the coneutor agents, for the purpose of being laid down in the French estuaries—the cultivation of this particular fishery being attentively looked to just now by the French government, Marseilles is understood to be one of the ports of deposit. ANCIENT ORDER OE FORESTER.I.—The annual festival of the friends and supporters of the Widow and Orphan Fund of this institution was celebrated last evening at the Freemasons' Tavern. The Hon. George Byng pre sided, and was supported by Mr. John Locke, M.P., Arch deacon Robinson, Master of the Temple, Mr. Edwin James, M.P., Mr. Tidd Pratt, Dr. Parkes, &c. The usual loyal and patriotic toasts having been given and respo nde d to, the chairman proposed the toast of the evening, "The Widow and Orphan Fund." He said it gays him great . pleasure to attend a society which was in an eminent degree self-supporting. was a most distinguishing characteristic of societies for benevolent pummel' in this country that they cooed/0.4A chiefly of per sons belonging to the middle classes ; their sympathies were thereby drawn forth, while their self-respect was sus tained. The benefit which had been conferred by the insti tution, the anniversary of which they were then cele brating, reflected the greatest credit on its contributors. Confining his statement to the Widow and Orphan Fund, be found that the number of subscribers was 9,000, and that the sum paid by them towards the charity during the past year was 1,75&., out of which had been paid in pen sions alone during that period not less than 1,500 f. The meeting was then addressed by Mr. Locke, Mr. Edwin James, the Rev. Dr. Robinson, Mr. Tidd Pratt, and others, all of whom bore testimony to the excellent character of the institution ; and Mr. Locke observed that notwithstand ing the divergence in almost all other respects in the in stitutions of France, such was the astuteness of the Emperor of the French in perceiving the social advantages of these reciprocating societiea,that he had actually favoured and patronised similar institutions in his own country. The subscriptions were on a liberal scale. The musical arrangetnesta were under the direction of Mr. Young, as sisted by Mr. Thomas, Mr. Howe, Mr. Nailor, sod Master Lee.

A little after 9 o'clock on Tuesday evening Mr. Joseph Lee, agent to Messrs. Cluuiesworth, the large coal owners, of Lofthouse, near Wakefield., started from Leeds on his way to Lofthouse. He was driving a spirited horse in a phaeton, and had with him in the trap Mr. Squire Bland, ropemaker, of Carlton, near Lofthouse, and Mr. Dickinson, haoklemaker, of Leeds. The party hail procee safely the road as far as the ACCOMm odat o .1-n-rat I, in Hunalet, and into this thoroughfare Mr. Lee drove, with the inter tion of depositing Mr. Dickinson at his own works, which an situated on the banked the Aire, and in the rear of the chemical works occupied by Mesars. Hirst and Bro o k e . At the door of the w or k s M r . Dkkinson alighted with the intention of getting out his own dog-cart and driving home. Mr. Lee and Mr. Bland, thus left in the phartn, world appear to havedriven on, probably under the impres_ sift that they were returning to the Wakefield-reed; but they unfortunately took the card through a cinder-yard, which leads to the river, only distant about a hundred yards. As they passed a cottage in the yard, the occupant keen,. Mg no vehicle had any Utainces there at that time of the night, opened the door, and immediately heard an alarm, both men and the horse and carriage being then in the water. The occupant of the cottage ran to the spot, as did also Mr. Dickinson, but they were unable to render any assistance, owing to the roughness of the river and the depth of the water. Mr. Bland was seen going down the stream, but he almost immediately sank, and was not recovered until some time had elapsed ; the hone and phaeton were recovered during the night, and Mr. Lee's body was not found until noon yesterday. In driving out of the yard, Mr. Lee would almost be utable to cheek the Progress of the vehicle down to the water, the incline being very steep, and the water at that point about four yards in depth. Mr. Lee, who was much respected by the trade, has left a lane family of young children. Yester day evening, Mr. Blackburn, borough coroner, held an inquest on the bodies at the Royal George Inn, Hunslet lane, when the above facts were detailed in evidence. The jury found a verdict in accordance with the circumstances. Mr. Bland would be about 60 years of age, Mr, Lee's age being about 40. EXTRAORDINARY ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE. One of the moat extraordinary and deliberate attempts at suicide we have ever heard of is thus recorded by the Sheffield Telegraph, as having occurred a few days back :—A man named James Axon, aged 45 years, who de scribed himself as a labourer, has been taken into custody for attempting to hang himself. It appears that the man went to the cemetery gates, and askol permission to go into the grounds to see the grave of his mother ? but as he wan not tun fit state to be allowed there the policeman on duty refused him admission, whereupon he threatened to avenge himself by committing suicide. The officer, with a feeling of coldness that would only add to the poor fellow's indig nation, told him that he could do re lie pleased, never fear ing that he would be so rub as to carry his threat into ex. ecution. The man, however, did so, for he went to some lads who were playing a short dis tance off, and told them he was going to bang himself, if be could only find a likely spot fur the job. The lade, too anxious to see the fun of the thing, helped him to seek a place for the purpose, and the party adjourned into • neighbouring greas.field attached to Mr. Wilson's snuff mill. A fine strong tree, with a good stout bough, here rewarded their research, and the man very methodically proceeded to tie his handkerchief and a cord together and attached them to the branch above. Previous to taking his final leave of them he said that he should like to elle his mind, so that he should have nothing to think of, and to reward them for their trouble he would make his will, and divide his little stock among them. He then produced six or seven pennyworth of copper, and to the delight of the lads shared it among them, and in order to carry out his plans niece effectually be told the senior of the party not to cut him down till he whistled. The lad prormatd to d• so, and Axon attached the cord to his neck and flung himself into the aw. He had no sooner done so than blood gushed from his nose and mouth, and without waiting for the signal, the lad cut the rope, and the would.be suicide came sprawling to the earth. Idis first words were a sound blackguardisg to the boys around him, and an indignant remonstrance to the eldest of them for not waiting as he had promised, adding at the finish, as a sort of balm to the bo y' s feelings, " I told thee to wait till I whistled, my lad." " es" says the lad, " but you didn't whistle, and didn't look like it ;" a very sensible remark. and in order to pre vent any further attempt the boy gave information to a policeman who happened to be claw by. The man was taken into custody, and locked up at the Town.hall, where be made a second attempt to kill himself by hanging himself with a towel. In this he fortunately failed, and should be not be successful in any further endeavours he may make before noon, he will be taken before the magistrates. " POITZEN " HI7NTING IN KING'S COUNTY. —At the petty sessions of Frankford, in the King's County, • man named Burke was on Thursday summoned for having on his premises a quantity of illicit spirits called "potteen."' The constable who made the seizure stated that he found two jars of the whisky in the kitchen. In a mom, concealed in • bed, he found • jar containing " potteen." From the smell proceeding from, and the appearance which the straw in the bed presented, he had no doubt but that on his ap proach a quantity of the mine liquor had been spilled to avoid detection and seizure. Outside Burke's house he found • vat in the ground upwards of four feet in diameter which contained upwards of one hundred gallons of potale. Under • kish he ,the constable) also discovered a keg of the "real native," with which he filled the empty jam and de • stayed the remainder. The bench awarded a fine, which Burke said be could not pay, whereupon he was sent to gaol for three months. HUNTING ACCIDLIT. —We are sorry to state that an accident of a very serious nature, and one which was likely to be attended with serious consequences, occurred to G. T. Bullock, Esq., of Coker, near Yeovil, on Thursday morning last. The meet was at Yellowham Woods; the hounds soots found, and went away towards Waterson, where the fox was lost. The hounds then trotted to Elaington willow-bed, which was drawn blank, and from thence proceeded to Moreton-wood, where • brace of foxes were discovered ; the hounds were settled upon one of them, and led the field about seven miles across the heath—a very dangerous country for hunting—end it was during this run that Mr. Bullock met with his unfortunate accident. It appears that his horse put its foot into a rabbit's hole, and threw Mr. Bullock off, and the animal then fell sideways on the top of its rider—the pommel of the saddle pressing heavily upon his chest. Upon the horse starting up with great fright, it kicked the unfortunate gentleman on the hind with some force. The injuries Mr. Bullock sustained entirely deprived him of his faculties, and upon recoveting his senses the find words he was beard to utter were, " W here are the hounds ?" He was immediately conveyed to Coker-wood, near Moreton, the seat of Henry Frampton, Esq., where he was treated with every attention that kindness could suggest. A me dical gentleman, who was immediately telegraphed for, ar rived with all possible speed, and skilfully rendered that professional aid which the urgent nature of the case re. Tuned. We are happy to learn that Mr. Bullock is ma nounced to be out of danger, and is progressing favourably. —Slterborme Journal. WHOLESALE ROBBERIES AT THE FIGHT For. THE CHAMPIONiSHIP.—The London " swell-molimen" never leee an opportunity of taking advantage of the slightest excite ment to turn tt to account, end a prize-fight affords pecu liar advantages to ply their dishonest calling, and that of Tuesday last was looked forward to with pleasing anticipa tions. No amount of money can insure a selection of respectable persons, or prevent an infusion of swell-mob thieves from such gatherings ; and if the tickets were charged at ten instead of titre, guineas, there they would be. How some of the vagabonds inamigtsl to reach Farnborough may be judged of by one fact which has come to the know ledge of the writer. On Tuesday morning, as the time for the leaving of the trains from Laudon-bridge approached, two Leicestershire gentlemen made their appearance, with tickets in hand, sod iuquired anxiously for the way to the platform from which the train for the fight was about to start. Two sharper., on the "look out," took the tickets, pretending to look at them, but they no sooner got posesion of them than they rushed amongst the crowd, leaving their dupes in a state of perfect bewilderment; forthough theyliad tmvelledminy miles to see the fight, they weredeprived of the opportunity, as it was too late then to olitein other tickets, anal they were left to sleep off their annoyance. To persona who have any idea of such scenes, it would be considered an extreme act of folly to take. a gold watch or other property to a prize fight; hut, fortunately for the thieves, anal unfortunately for the American gentlemen, who were their chief victims an this occasion, many of the hitter hail no conception what ever of what they had to encounter end the " roughs" they laid to meet, and they took their watches with them. Some ides may be formed of the number of robberies that took place, when it is stated that not lees than eight watches of a valuable lescription heal been stolen from eight gentlemen stopping at the same hotel. Of the number one was a presentation watch, which the owner would not have lad for 100 guineas ; and the American gentlemen. in addi tion to seeing the tattle snatched from their ecituftry!,.ani while on the very threshold of victory, had the mortification of being plundered of their property. A VOLUNTEER SHOT, AT HUDDERSTIELD.-071 Tuesday morning, at Htuldendiehl, John Brook (son of Mr. J. Brook, registrar for the Hutlilenifield district), sergeant la the 2nd company of the Huiltlerafield Rifle %%dente, rs, was mysteriously shot iu his father's mill, at Aspley, where he is overlooker. He was found in the engite room, at a little past eight in the morning, sitting against a cheat in a helpless condition. His rifle was lying N'tide him. A ball had entered his left breast just below the ribs, and had come out helow his left shoulder blade. No one was near him, and, as be is unable to give an account of the occurrence him self, it is left to conjecture how he received the wound. He called upon a friend the night before, and asked for a few cartridges, raying he was going to practise next morn and it is known that on the sane evening he took his Atli into the engine-room to dry it. He was imnsitFettely conveyed to his father's house, where lie now hes in a dangerous condition.—fileneSeeter Usartlion.
