(From the Alaneter(cr Merehry of Tdesday.l Vr e have this week to record another fatal rare of hydrophobia in Salford, arising, like the one we detailed about five weeks ago, from the Lite of a cat, and in other respects greatly resembling that case in its origin. Indeed, from the vicinity of the places where the bit,. were inflicted, and from the dates, so far as they can be ascer tained, it appears extremely probable that the fatal effects were produced by the same animal in both cues. The sufferer In this case was Ann flialdwio, a widow, aged about fifty-three years, who resided in Briercliffes-builtlings, Gravel lane, Stalked, and was generslly employed as a washerwoman. It aupears that, about duce months ago, she was washing at Mr. %Yuman's, in Broughton-street (not one hundred yards from the place where Mr. Vaughan was bitten), when a strange cat entered the wash-house, and was attacked by two of Mr. ld'orrairs dogs. Mrs. Baldwin endeavoured to extricate the cat front its assailants; when it axed its teeth upon the forefinger of her left hand, and in. flitted a very severe wound. The animal appears to have been at the time greatly enraged, as it mss not without considerable diffi culty that her hand was libcratetl. lesm its jaws. Though tire' wound was painful, she continued at :ler employment during the remaindei of the day ; but U increased in soreness, inflammation succeeded, and continued about a week, extending up tha fore.arm. It was bested by fomentation and leeches, bet rat by the advice of aoy medical gentleman ; and the wound gradually and coin pletely healed. At intervals, however, she complained of pain in the hand and ;Tin, especially after herd labour ; and frequently re ferred to the bite she hag recei7ed, in • way which showed that site entertelecd considerable appreliensioos of the result. , On Thursday and rriday she complained of having more than usaal pain. Till Friday, however, she continued to fallow her usual occupation; but on that day the pain extended to her tack and shoulders, and was ac companied by frequent shiveringa and extreme irritability. She passed • very restless night, and the symptoms of !lee dreadful dis order under which she was labeuring became but too apparent, and increased .n violence evsry limit. Early on Saturday morn:lig...3lr. rernele visited her, nod fo,,ud her labou.ing under an evident t apaitwiot ~ ie affection of the yawl.* of the threat. This w...... COMA derably aggravated by either a proposal or an offer Oltudy";:k 0 -40 swallow, which, she remarked, would certainly choke her. In the afternoon the paroxysms wcreof the most distressing kind ; but she seemed perfectly sensible. of her situation, and referred frequently to the at having bitten her. but Sometimes called it a dog. During this time, the tongue and fauces were dry, and of a brown colour. It was with considerable difficulty that she could show her tongue, and, when she had done so, she invariably seemed to feel asnamed, and hid her face. in this state she continued until a late hour on Sunday night ; when death put an end to her stre; Jogs. She was attended during the latter stages of the disease by a number of medical gentlemen, who tried nearly all the remedies which have been 'confidently recommended; but apparently with out the slightest effect, even in alleviating the symptoms tinder which she laboured. Amongst other things an injection of the acetate of morphine into the circulation was several times tried, but no benefit was experienced from it. An inspection of the body of the unfortunate woman took place last night, but at too-late an hour for us to be able to state whether any thing was observed at all calculated to throw a light in this dreadful and mysterious disease. CORONER'S INQUEST AND CHARGE OF MURDER. An inquest was held on Monday morning, at the Lamb public ham, in Tead-lane, Manchester, on the body of Alice Attlebury, otherwise Oreenhalgh, •a woman of •the town, who died early op Sunday morning, in consequence of having been moat brutally ill treated by sis men in the street. Froth the circumstances that tran spired, the occurrence excited very strong interest in the neighbour hoo.l, and the door of the house was surrounded by a dense crowd during the proceedings. The first witness examined was Mary Whittaker, the wife of the man who kcepe the tap-room attached to the Ordnance Arms public , house, in flanging-ditch. She stated that the deceased was in this ' tap•room on Saturday night, in company with six boatmen, who appeared to be using nee roughly. They all seemed to be a little in liquor, but were not chunk. They staid until about half-pait eleven o'clock, when the tap-room was closed, and they all went out. The men went into tile Ordnance Arms, and had a quart of beer there, but the woman went into the street, and witness did nut see her again until after she was dead. Witness thought she could identify some of the men if she were to see them again. Mr.lekc ENDER said there were six boatmen in castody, and she would have an Opportunity of seeing then:. In a short time they were brought into en adjoining room, ant! the witness imme. dia'ely identified them as the men who were in company with the deceased on Saturday night. alertha Harrison, a woman of the town, stated that she WAS in the Ordnance Arms tap-room, on Saturday evening, anti hart been there the greater part of the afc2rroon. About eight o'clock the deceased a-A some boatmen came into the room ; the men sat do' a in a box, and had some Neer. The deceased went to the cod of the table, and took up a glass, as if she intended to drink ; on which one of the men took the glass from her, and threw the beer it con tained into her titre. One of the men (whom witness identified, and who stated his name to be Thomas Burn) accused the deceased of having formerly done something to his prejudice, and threatened that he would serve her out fur it. She denied the charge, and some provoking language passed between them. Abort half-past eleven o'clock, the landlord and a watchrdan ordered every body to leave the tap.room„ and the boatmen, the deceased, and witness, all went out. The boatmen went into the Ordnatm Arms, an the witness and the deceased waited in the street. After waiting about ten minutes, one of the men came out of the house, and witness left him with :Le deceased at the door. Witness went to the Durham Ox public-house, in Toad-lane, having told the men where she was going, and they said they would follow her thither. After she had been there about ten minutes, they all came in, and remained drinking together until twelve o'clock, when the landlord refused to till any more liquor, and they rill Went out. Witness left the boatmen at the door, and did not see them again. She did not see the deceased, after leaving her at the door of the Ordnance Arras, until she saw her dead in the Lamb public house. Winne; I distinctly identified all the prisoners as the men who were drinking with her at the Ordnance Arms and the Dur ham Ox. Ann Clarke, the landlady of the Durham Ox, stat:d that during the time that the last witness and the boatman were drinking in her house, the deceased came to the door, which hnd been accident alliy left open, and forced her way into the lobby. As she was ev dently in a state of intoxication, witness's daughter ordcretl !ier to go out, but she refused to go, and was proceeding into one of the rooms, when witness went into the passage, look her by the shoulder*, put her out of the door, and shut it upon her. There are three or four ctcps leading up to the door, down which a per son in liquor might easily fall: but witness had nu reason to be lieve that the deceased did fill when /the was put out, as witness heard her swearing at the door after it was shut. As near ns witness could judge, it was a miarter before twelve when she was put out, and the boatmen went out in about a quarter of an hour afterwards. _ Elizabetii Clarke, daughter of the last witness, ecrrobarated her evidence, as to the fact of putting the deceased out of the house; and added, that, about half an hour after the boatmen went away, she went to the door, opened it, and looked out. She heard a woman scream faintly, nattier a hovel, opposite the Lamb, which is shout 30 yards from the Durham Ox. Immediately afterwards, Six men came out of the hovel, two of them dragging a woman by the feet. They dragged list down the street for some dis tance, and then witness saw them, as she thought, striking and kicking her, as she lay upon the ground ; four of them appeared to strike her whli their fists, and two to kick her. After that, they left her lying in the street, and move past witness, who was stand ` , ng at the r 00T. She asked them what they had been doing to that woman : one of them made her a very improper answer, and they all ran away. Witness, at first, dared not leave the door, but n a minute or two, a soldier, and Mr. Williams, the landlord of the Lamb, went to the place where the woman was lying. Wit ness went to them, and saw theM lift her up: it was the deceased. She appearied quite insensible; and they carried her away. Wit ness had seen the men who were in riiondy hot rn.lid nnt identify, them as the persons who dragged the deceased down the street ; an d she thought some of those persons had long coats. [All the prisoners wore jackets.l Henry 31apleson, a private of the Grenadier Guards, stated that he was going to bed at the Lamb, where he was quartered, a few minutes past cue o'clock on Sunday morning, when he heard a noise in the street, which attracted his notice. He went to the win dow, and saw four or five men dragging a woman down the street by the legs. lie called out to them from the window, but they did not make him any reply. He saw them leave her in the Street, and run away. lie immediately dressed himself', and went doWn stairs to the landlord, who was cleaning the tap-room. Witness told him what he had seen, and begged him to go with him. The landlord at first refused, saying it was only some drunken frolic; but wit ness told him he was satisfied it was something worse. The land. lord then consented to go, and they went to the spot. They found the deceased lying with her clothes over her heed, where he had seen the men leave her; she did not speak, and there was a rattling noise iii her throat, as if she was choking. They raised her up, and cattle(' her into the shed opposite the house, thinking she was dead drunk. A surgeon was sent for, but site was kept in the shed some time before lie came. She was then carried into the house, and died in a few minutes afterwards. Witness could net identify the men whom he saw dragging the deceased; they woce dmk clothes like the prisoners ; one of them appeared to have white trcaysers like the prisoner Burn's; but wituees thought he had a long coat on, and not a jacket. Mr. Williams, the landlord of the Lamb, corroborated the evi. deuce of the last witness, so far as he had an opportunity of ob serving. Mr. Lavender observed that in his opinion Mr. Williams had shown very little humanity in leaving the deceased for two hours a cold shed, instead of taking her into his house. lie could not help telling Mr. Williams what was his opinion of his conduct. Ay r . winisma said he should have taken the woman into his house immediately if he had known the condition she was in, but he thought she was only drunk. He did all in hie power to get the asstatanee of a surgeon. Mr. Henry Oilier stated that he examined the body of bode_ ceased. He found a Inutasdleound ok the right temple; and anoUtei DfYSTh.RIOUS DEATH. From the Bottom Gazette.l An Ireptest was Aeld before Mr. Martin, Coroner. on Monday; at Horn 'ep, on view of the body of Sandi Plant, then lying dead in Toynton Church. . . George A Ilbones deposed. that on Sunday. the 24th Mt., he saw the deceased walking with a man, who was dressed in a long white smock.frock, near an emit...tire which di vides the parishes of Sen. velshy and Porncastld. Witness observed Co:: deceased shake her head at her companion whin they paved, and she then proceeded towards lionicastle, the meet in the smock-frock taking the rppu. site direetran. After dui lived about fifty yards, witnesssaw hatrilA her fall down, apparently retry . Ile hastened to her assistance , and remained her a few nala ote, till the arrival of a t act, which was going towards Hormaestle, alai the driver allowed the unfortu- - nate deceased to rile. ..-- • Hobert Osgaby, sen. of Thomsen-le.Fen, said that on Saturday, the 16th ult„ Ws eon Robert attended at Iforr.castle, under a Meg's 'lute's otrcant. to make provialtat for the maintenance of an Mew< timate child w hich had been sworn to him by the d-ceased , sand.

His ion al not remit home cal breakfast time the fellowhig morning. Tits tleeemsdball used herself to taking laudanum. Unreal Thompeon, wife of fliatles Thompson, saddler, of Horn. castle, said that she observed deceased on Sunday, the 24th ult., walking on the road leading to High Toynton. She then appeared to be very unwell. Witness invited the deceased into her house, and she stopped and had some tea. The deceased told *knees that she hail come from Coningsby ; that a intr had walked with her as far as II orncastle field, from whence she rode in a cart. Deceased acknowledged being in the family-way, and said she was afraid , ' that she tied caught ;Clever which was prevalent in the neighbour , hood, as she bud ban very ill lb , a week. When the deceased , again started on her journey, the witness sent a little boy with her. Deceased soon after sat upon the ground, and said she could walk no further, and the boy left her. i Mr. Cave, countable of Toynton, deposed that tn Monday, the 2;th, he found the deceased sitting upon the ground, nearly oppo site Toyntt n Church. She 'appeared asle ,, p, but, i n blting roused from her lethargy, told witnee: that she was very ill. Witness af terwards observed her about half a mite nearer Tedford, laid upo.l the ground. On being a_tain roused from her lethargic slumber, she resumed her walk, end was a third time found lying in a ditch , on the road side, by some persons who were passing in that direr. ti.tn, and who intermed the wine's. With the assistan eof the' persons Who discovered her the t'tird time, witness conveyed the deceased to a house occupied by Mr. Wm. Moody, and then sent for Mr. hernia, swr:on, who irttiedistely at ended. hilary Moody deposed that on Monday, the 25th of September.. she found the deceased lying in a ditch, by the aid: of the road lead ing ter Tedford. Site was taken to the house occupied by the hus band of itt ne4s, and en the f I Owing Thursday sits ex i ed. De.' ceased told the witness that young Oagaby went with her to Tuyn h' ie and that he gave her plenty of ale on the toad. Witness mid . ' the deces'e 1 site was afraid Ctsgaby had rat something into the ale, an i d ve:..as i said eh: doubted he had Mr. Lomas, surgeon end apothecary, of Ilorneastle, said that he had attended the deceased during the last few nays of her life. %Witness administered d'Herent medicines to her, particularly se veral emetics, only one of whiebscok effect ; and, from various cir cumstances, he was petfectly convinced that the deceased died from the effects of an opiate. Verdict—" Died From the effect's' of a deadly opiate ; but 111:111, or by whom administered, no evidence was adduced." At six o'clock the witnesses were dismissed, and returned home, the elder ()agility on horseback. and his sou travelled on foot. Ws hare been thus minute iii detail, in order that oar readers may per fectly understand the following particulars of a very violent attack upon the Crooner, Which but for providential circumstances, would have cost him his lit r e. On turning a corner at the bottom of Scriyelaby Park-lane, Mr. lifastin observed an object in the middle' of the road, and, on anproaching nearer, he tlii , cernecl that it was a: very till man, drew d in a sing whi is -tnock. frac' . , alto, ott Mr.' Blastin's reaching the Fint where hg stood, immediately levelled three 01' four tremendous blocs at the horse's head, with a very thick licrigestake, without demanding Money, or using any Mtertu ' getiOns, aecomproying itla blows by some Miprecations in and under an evidently feigned tone of voice. One of the blows grazed the Coroner's left thigh, and the villain then w tempted to seize hold of the bridle, but, on perceiving Iris intention, Mr. Martin, being' totally unarmed , and•theretore unprepared for such an attack. forced his spurs into the horse's aisle, the animal sprang forward, and soon left the dastardly assailant a distance behind. Apure hemive that the villain might be masted by some comrades, Mr. . Maeda pursued his journey. but heard his assailant either crying out in pairs, or uttering another volley of Imprecations, but which the clattering of the hot , e 's feet rendered tt impossible to distinguish. ' Mr. Maqin made due Inquiry early the following morning in the neighbourhood of tilt. p'a e, but c Add obtain no decisive clue either. as to the purpose or the person who committed the ou-rege. If the villain's design really was murder, which there is but too much teasun to think it wee, the time and place were every way fitted fur ' the bloody purpose. The night was very dark, and the spot se lected Was so shaded by trees as to throw a still deeper gloom around. 'l'he place too is some distance from any habitation or • village, on a londy road, wh're the struggling cries of the victim would have produced no helping friend, and his last groans died away unheeded upon the midnight air. • COURT OF CITANCERY.-Mr. Ba=il Montagu, in his evidence before the t;hancery Comminioners, mentioned the following cud( na circumstance connected with the case of the late Henry Fanntleroy:— " During the coots( of last summer (11424)a commission of bank ruptcy was issued aga sat the banking-house of Marsh and Co. A very important quentn n was likely to arise, whether the Clown was not entitled to the shice of the property, as one of the partners in the holm was likely ob' convicted of forgery ; stud if convicted before his bankruptcy was found, there was au opinion in the pro fession, that, as the King could not be tenant in common with any- , person, the whole property would belong to the Crown, but of which his Majesty would not have any power to dispose, as in the city of London it belongs to the Sheriff. It was necessary in one week to send two expresses to the Lord Chancellor in Dorsetshire, to prevent the agitation of this question; and to my knowledge Dia I was in the room) the bankruptcy of Henry Fauntleroy was f0ur...1 only five minutes before twelve o'clock of the day on which he was tried, and this was very much in consequence of the inability tw proceed before Commissioners in LoAdon." Game has generally been considered wilder this year' than usual, on account of the earliness of the season. Some extraordinary instances of a contrary description have oc curred here (Newcastle) within the last few days. On Tuesday last four partridges, apparently in a state of great exhaustion, were seen running about the Bigg-marker, ul this town, and on being pursued three of theta sought shelter in as many public-houses, where they wefe cap tured. The fourth did not share a better fate, having, . been taken by an old woman who Was passing at the time. aouss r. 7, - 4,e,, 'war ,hie tarot', observing two partridges on the ground before him, int metliately ran after them, and succeeded in taking one of . them; the other escaped from him, but was soon after. wards shot. A gentleman caught another in the Abner Chase on Thursday, and afterwards liberated it. Others, we believe, have been captured in different parts of the town. It is singular that all these birds were full grown, and appeared to have received no wounds.—Tyre Mercury. AFFAIR or Hostomi.—Between six and seven o'clock on Tuesday morning Mr. Joshua Baker, a farmer, at Wilsden, was surprised by a gentleman's carriage, a post chaise, and hackney-coach, stopping at the gate of his rick yard, from each of which vehicles two persons descended, crossed the yard into a field at the back of his house,and pro ceeded to measure the ground. Mr. Baker anticipating their object, informed them that lie could not allow any proceed ing of the kind to take place upon his premises, and that, he had sent for an officer. Regardless of his remonstrance, the opposing parties took their stations at a very short dia. tance, and each of them fired their pistols in the air. The' two antagonists had on camlet cloaks, and, when they had divested themselves of them previous 0 firing, appeared • be military men; one was an elderly tall man ; the otbtz was a young man, also very tall ; the other four persons air,. , t neared to be two seconds, a surgeon , and a liver y servant ; came , a n n i d th w e a h licei sek i n a e c y ro - sa crotoil the. .l . t A h f e t,. s r ur ti g r eo in n g, an th tl e liv p e a r r y ti, s ,s e satisfied with the result, and it was suppo sed b y the p ez.,. % yard to their respective velveles , r L a p ' separated, &t ed apparently by no mope: ; sons who witnessed the transaction, that the party, in eon.- affluence of being disturbed, left the spot to settle theft differences 'in a nother place, where they would not be *1 liable to meet with interruption. I
