Mr. CvatParr T. opefiot the plesdines. and stated the case in the absence of alr. Scarlett.—The plaintiff is a rehpeetable mer chant in London, who having imported a quantity of whisky from Canada, employed the defendant as his bloke: en sell the same. Ile should put in a sale note given by the defendant to Mr. Conte, whom Defendant alleged to be the purchaser. This fiction was for negl:. puce • the defendant en a former trial having deposed that he did not think he had authority from ('oats to make out the sale to hint, by which the plaintiff Imo his verdict against ('oats; and this ac -51011 therefore was to rectum not only the damage hut the coots of the action brought against (osts. Sale note put in, dated 211th August, 11122, and proved to be the hand-wntm,g of defendant, by his clerk, Mr. Francis Yates. The witness being asked respecting defendant's hand-arising to the billof parcels, przvaritated ; when the Lord Chief Justice told Itipu iflte gave such shuffling answers again, he would send him to Newgate. Witness having hesitated some time, said, "1 do not believe that to be his hand-writing." Cromaaasinined by the Ziot.tcrroa-Gewtant..—hir. White chord no brokerage—did not so understand from O'Brien. The had gout on for some time, when a meeting took place , n ec aore m calcolatimn were made on a newspaper ; the price was asked by Mr. O'Brien of Coats for proof spirite, and in conse quence Mr. Coats made some calculation ; does not recollect the price being then named. These spirits were over-proof, witness believes; in all sales spirits have been sold by proof, which is usual in the whisky trade. Irish whisky is sold at 7 per cent. over proof; the Excise laws will not permit it to he sold above 7 per cent over-proof; it comes here 22 per cent. above proof. and nay! be sold In bond at 22, but not delivered not over 7 ; Canada whisky may be delivered at any extent over proof. Re-examined by Mr. CAMPIIELL—Refore August, 1822, Mr. White has) not been concerned in Canada whisky—this was among the first imported into England. Mr. Coshes& clerk in the London Docks.—ln August, 1822,' O'Brien had 80 puncheons of Canadian whisky in the lioeks, which were transferred to the account of Mr. Coats in January, 1821. Robert Ellis examined by Mr. SCARI.F.TT-15 clerk to Rear-, ion and attorneys. Remembers the trial of " O'Brien v. Copts," of which the produced is the judgment. Mr. White. when examined, said he was ntit confident that he had been au thorized by ('oats to conclude a contract in those terns; witness ioes not recollect the precise words. but that he met Mr. Coats in the stmt, as he was about to get into a stage coach. He was ex 'Mined as to the particulars of the written contract, and said he would not swear that the agreement with Mr. ('oats was without payment for over-proof. The point to which air. Gurney cross examined was, whether Mr. Costs agreed for the price for the spirit tit was, without payment for over-proof; and that the conver• sedan only legal a few minutes, whilst Coats was stepping into a ease& The defendant Coats called no witnesses; that was the gmuna of defence, and Mr. Gurney contended White hail not proved the contract. Ike-exnmine.l by the SOLICIT oa-GENERAL.--WOUld not swear that the negoc iation was going on, the only difference being on the pr:nciple of the price being regulated by proof ; will not swear that White 'stated every thing was settled except the price; cannot reeollect White's saying the only difference between them was the price. Rte-examined by Mr. SCARLETTo--The civets which O'Brien paid to Coats were 391. 18s. 9d.; his own costs Inf. I dr. 1 , 1. Judg. meat read-verdict for the defendant. :dr.

In 1923 it fell to 2s. 41, without paying for mot-proof Is. 10d. Twelve months credit would maite a difference of about 10 per cont. ; one penny per month for credit ie allowed o Brinell spirits.

Nicholson recalled.-'$ mien bought one puncheon of this whisk of Conte, at 2s. dd. last July, deducting dd. a gallon for the difference of the over-proof paid for and that delivered. Taking it as it lay, it was not worth more than Is. 10d.; upon the last puncheon paid only Is. 10d. per gallon, and the excise duty ; it is usual inehe trade to pay for the ovenproof ; when the bari aio is yo much a gallon, would not expect to pay for over-proof, unless so agreed npon; upon Irish whisky the over-proof is always ex ported to be paid for. ilincennined by Mr. Seseeenr—lt is usual to stipulate whe. tAft the over-proof is to be paid. Foreign spirits are usually bought as they lie, stating the strength in the contract. Canadian typist y. pays the same duty . as rum; Irish whisky Is considered British spirits, but Canadian is not. Mr. Thomas Coats remembers reeelviNg seontrect from White, which be returned ; witness returned it because he conceived he had bought the Canadian spirits as they lay, and not paying ac cording to proof ; certainly did not authorise Mr. White to make a contract for those spirits in the mode prescribed by the contract ; Witness is a partner of Messrs. Fox ; witness carried Mr. Fox to nine the spirit, and he left the regocianon to witness ; two pun. chums were sent to Fox to be rectified ; they formed part oldie 90. The produced is witnees's letter, dated 29th August. The defend are repeatedly ,applied to witness to purchase ; witness only in. tended to buy too, and not ninety puncheons; Mr. O'Brien wanted witness to buy the ninety ; very likely might have offered 2s. fur the whole. Saw O'Brien at White's counting-house, and made a calculation on the margin of a newspaper; they would not let witness have the two at 54. lid. ; he (witness) was treating for the two oply. They always talked of the whole, but witness treated far part only, except on the miming Mr. White met witness going into a coach ; will nut affirm that he took the two puncheons at proof ; it was not material, as he wanted the two puncheons merely forest experiment with reference to the whole ; tines not recollect spy mention of the word proof with White. as they were walking to the coach ; thinks be asked 31r. Crquhart whether Canadian spirits were sold at proof, but is contident not with reference to this itenesetiv ; witness is a lijtiaker ; will not affirm that this 'was be fore or after the contract in question ; witness never purchased on bells drawn on Fox and Co., of Plymouth. Re-examined.-Never entered into any negotiation for the ninety perch/ions until walking with White to the stage coach. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, for the defendant, said, if the plaintiff recovered in this ataion the situation of a broker would he one of great peril, rile. Coen having proved he never had but this hurried negociauion. With regard to the ninetwuncheons, he ap peehended there must be a verdict for the defendant. Ile contended that Goats must have known, that by purchasing at so high a rate as 2s. fel. he was to pay for the over.prsof. Air. Coats did not pro. tees to have a precise recollection of the contnict ; but he (the So licitontieneral; contended, that the whole negotiation went on upon the principle that over-pmof was to be paid for. Mr. White Men would naturally refer to the principle of the previous negoci ethic, and was jusufied in concluding that the contract was corn nine. The Jury would take the whole of Mr. White's evidence Iris believing, though he could not positively swear, the word proof was made use of. The LORD enter Jut:Tier. interrupted, referring to White's evidence; but what his Lordship said was not audible. The Soeictroe-OeWEIIAL proceeded-Mr. Costs did not say, When he objected to the contract, as to the name of Fox and Cu. being used in the contract, but that he wan not to pay interest, or for over. woof. Ile contended, it was obvious in all sales of spirits, that over or under proof should regulate the price; there *as no other certain standard. This was the hardest possible case that ever occurred to a broker ; because Mr. 14 - iiite is not certain the word " creer-proof" was inserted in the contract, that therlbre he is to make good the loss incurred by the evasive conduct of Mr. Coats, occasioned by the fall in the market. Mr. White had no commission on the contract, and no interest but the buena of: O'Brien, for wham he had done highest, however unfortunate, the tranaactioo had turned out. The Jury observed, that Coats's letter chewed he was in treaty tor the whole. Loan Cuter JUSTICE-Ile did not deny that; only that it wits when stepping into the roach. Francis fates recalled-1. clerk to the defendant-remembers the sonvereation between O'Brien s nd Coats, at White's counting. house, on the subject of the ninety puocheons, in August, 1922- remembers frequent converntions between White and O'Brien, and the price was mentioned by Mr. O'Brien for proof. Cross-examined by Mr.:lc:eat ETT-Ilas been six years Al'hite's clerk, and seen him write; they mentioned two puncheons; the produced newspaper (P&G& Ledger, IVefinesday, August 28) is that which Mr. White takes in ; it was taken up to O'Brien when he brought his action against Coats; can't speak to the marks, but was present when the adeulation was made on the newspaper by Co its. Mr. W. A. 17rquhart is accustomed to the Importation of Co rinth, whisky. In Member, Ite2l, remembers speaking to Coate, and infer: vier! him the over-proof was to be paid for; this was its wishing him to purchase these very puncheons before witness iteld them to O'Brien in 1821; this was before they bad arrived from Canada. Before the sale witness bad a conversation with Costs, when he observed, ('tat it was the confounded over.! proof which made these spirits so dear , they could not be used to any advantage; this was before Coats's treaty with O'Brien. Witness purchased these whiskies at the proof of Messrs. Uille.pie. to pay for the over-proof before their arrival. Air. Lee-la • spirit-broker; bet negociated eighteen or twenty salts of Canada whisky, prior to I n 2.1 the practice was to pay for ovenproof. Mr. Robert (liliespie-is acquainted with, and was the importer of, this whisky : it is usually imported at proof, and to pay for nver.proof : that which was over-proof, was invoiced to witness at a proportionately higher price. Cross-examined-liesides these 100 puncileons, speaks of sake made since this purchase. " The ovenproof to be paid for," has usually been inserted in the contract. By the Loan Ciller JUSTICE.-1 Witness referred to ILTI lake' -These figures are the Excise account of aver-proof. 31r. SCARLETT replied-WC are all agreed that a broker Is sot to execute a contract without the authority of both parties, or to execute a contract as the agent of another, which he would not, and could not verity in a Court of Justice; otherwise he must be held responsible for having involved the parties in ruinous litiga tion, In professing to hare shade a contract which hail only &- Sneed his employer. It was said a man who was Come el for himself had a fool foe his client. Now that was the case of Ale. White, in being put into the witness-box, and failing to prove the contract he himself had made. This caused Mr. O'Brien to lose both his contract anti his action against Coats, lie submitted the plaintiff teas entitled to MOM the full amount for the defendant's negli.' genre. The Loan Cuff, JUSTICE observed, it well not extraordinary, since the Talk was as unsuccessful to the principal, that the broker should relinquish his commission; but it did not appear be lied agreed to do the laminas without taking commission. This hating bret3 the first importation of Canadian whisky, there could be no established usage; therefore it was incumbent on the defen dant to have set forth the terms the more explicitly in the contract. Excl.—ire of the loss on the mule, the costs were 102.1. Ilia Lord. ship thought this question of much importance to the City of London. whether a broker shall make a contract other than that which sh a ll bind the parties to it ; and afterwards himself prove he was not authorisid by one party to make the contract on such terms as stated? The .lury would say, without any rellectitm being im. plied as affecting the integrity of Mr. White, the defendant, whe ther he had not, in the hurry of business, made his contract for Mr. ' O'Brien, the plaintiff, in such a negligent and unbusiness-like manner, as to have made himself liable for the damage sustained by his principal, In consequence of his (the broker's) default of ' genet. Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 1561. 7s. 10d. and costs. LATIUM AND OTHERS V. RETLET AND OTHERS. This was an action brought against the deceit:tants, as common Careers between London and Dover, to recover the anemia of a banker's parcel, delivered to them for the purpose of being con veyed to Dover. The pleadings being opened, The SOLICITOR-OFNERAL, with whom was the Constole SE anti* 7, stated the case to the Jury. His clients, he said, were bankers at Dover, and the defendants the carriers to that plate from London, canying on their business at the White Hart the Borough. n the 17th May, 1820, the plaintiffs town agents, Hoare*. Barnet and Co., sent a parcel to the defendants' warehouse, containing Dover bank-notes to the amount of 1,3401. The parcel was conveyed by flown' porter, end delivered to • Mr. Staibury, a partner in the defendant's business, who revived it in the counting-house adjoining the warehouse, and put it into his desk; he then went nut of the counting-house, turning the key in the door, but not taking it out. On his return to the counting. bowie Mr. Stanbury missed the parcel, the which he could afterwards learn no tidings of. The plaintiff's were in the habit of receiving parcels by means of the defendant's conveyance every week , and paid weekly • guinea for the carriage of them. The common charge would be about Is., but that extra sum was paid to secure their safe passage. It was true there was a clause in the agreement which set forth the liability of the defendants to make good any accident that might happen to the parcels, See and robbery ex cepted, but the Learned Solicitor scarcely thought his friends (Messrs. )larryatt and (homey, for the defence), would set up thin as a robbery coming within the intent of the clause in question ; because by that was meant a violent robbery, which this could not be tortured into: 2501. of the stolen notes had been received at' Hoare and Co's.. and their numbers ascertained by the books of the house ; and M)ul. more, it would be proved, through the means' of the bankers in the country, had also been paid; therefore it' would be too much to say that only the identical notes which made' up the sum of 7301. had been presented and paid. Under these circumstances, he trusted the Jury would find a verdict for the plaintiffs to the whole amount sought to be recovered. William Calton sworn—l am porter in the house of Messrs. 'Hoare and Company, and was so in May 1829. At that time, and since, I was in the habit of taking parcels to the White Hart, in the Borough, for Messrs. Latham and Co. of Dover. Mr. (Jardine, a clack in the banking-house, delivered them to me. On the 17th May, ld2o, I received a parcel from him ; I saw the notes, and took him in a candle to seal the parcel, which was addressed to Messrs. Latham and CO. Dover. I delivered the parcel to Mr. William Stanbury, one of the defendants (since desd), who looked at it, and put it in his desk, and gave me a receipt for it, (which rec.:Mt was put in and read). Robert Hall, the chief constable of Union Hall, sworn.--.I was applied to by Mr. Stanbury, jtut. In May 1620, to look at the cuunting-house of the defendants. He told me that the piece had been Molten open, and a banker's parcel stolen. I was not satisfied tint It had been broken open ; and Stanbury, after a little limits tion, said, " Then tell ineshow the robbery occurred." He afterwards said, that unfortunately he had left the key in the door when he had occasion to go into the yard foe • few minutes, during which time the rubbery was committed. I was instructed by the brother of Smnbury to discover the robberies. lie mentioned a sum that he would give me kir the discovery of them, but what it was, I forget. Mr. Richard Thomas, a printer in the Borough, was put into the box to prove that he had received instructions from Stanbury to print a hand-bill that was put in and read, dated the .2thlt 1820, giving a description of the notes that had been stoles. A note was also read, signed " W. Stanbury," and addrestied to ' Mr. H. Latham, stating that he was then gone to the Police Office, and he hoped that an offer of 3001. would, cruse the notes to be returned. - --------- Mr. William Waters, and Mr. Bradshaw, partners in Hoare's house, and several clerks in that establiAutient, were called to move in what manner the notes were sent from London to Dover. The general custom was to put Latbora's notes that were received I between Wednesday and Wednesday into a box, putting the notes 'received each day into a dila of paper, at the back of which the amount of the day's receipts was written out the sixth day . the daily rolls were all plead in a large Mkt of paper by Mr.lirad. I she* ; the gross amount put at the bock of it, and this notes given to a clerk to make into a parcel. On the 17th May, 11120, the ' amount was 1,340 L Mt. John Ileywood, clothier to Latham and Co., In May 11120, swum—Motleys were he the habit of bringing down a parcel wl ffromlioare's to Latham's, for which guinea was paid; a parcel genetally was sent up from Dover every week. An iron chest was ' wade tor the parcel to front of the waggons. The receipts of Rut leys thr the parcels from Dover to trivia were *hewn to the witness; but 31. r. Marryutt objected to them as evidence, inasmuch as they were not on a stamp; which every . eontract concerning property of 201. v.ilue ought to be. - - The C 01431011 ILTVANT submitted, that this contract referred to the amount of the carriage; and not to the amount of the pro. petty conveyed, and directed the attention of his Lordship to the cane of Chadwick and Jill, which proved his point. The Court ruled, that the receipts might be read, they were in number 23; the one read in Court ran as follows Received of !lents, Latham and Co. a paper parcel, directed to Messrs. Hoare, Barnet, and Co., 52, Loutbard-street, London, value 2301. which we engage to deliver to them to-morrow, lire and robbery excepted." Mr. Edward Simmons aworm—l was Clerk to Messrs. Ilam mond and Co., bankers at Canterbury, in May, 1820. On the Bth of that month we sent a parcel to our towmagents, Messrs. Steven son and Co., containing notes of Messrs. Latham and Co. of Dover, of 10L and 81.—flare a list of the numbers, dates, and sums of the notes was read by the witness. _ A Clerk of Stevenson's was called to prove the receipt of the notes ' • and another Clerk proved having received Bank of England notes for thent at Bowe's. The plaintiffs' Counsel were going on to Sher the payment of the stolen notes by their clients, when • compromise was pr o _ posed, and the Jury directed by his Lordship to find a verdict for the plaintiff's, damages 7011 E SZDALL ANT) OTHERS N. DALE% AND OTHERS. This was an issue directed by the Vice-Chancellor to try whether • person, named Euroley, was a partner in the house of Baker anti Dyer at the time of their bankruptcy, in Bin. Baker and Dyer wire carrying on business, as imponers of Sicilian wines, in part nership with a Mr. Smith . Baker was also concerned with Furnley, as a retail wtne-rnerchant, in Cooper's-row, Tower-hill. The whole sale business was carried on in Lithe-street and at Syracuse, where Dyer lived. Mr. Smith wishing to retire from the businrso, it was agreed to pay him 12,000 L on his going out, and his security was 15U pipes of Sicilian wines and Fundey's acceptances to the amount of 4,01101. Mr. Jsaias Baker, the bankrupt, was examined by the SoLt crroa GENERAL for the plaintiffs, and deposed that in 18:10 he was concerned in the business of importing Sicilian wines to Eng land, and his partners were Edmund Immth and John Dyer. In Int with.s went into the retail trade with Enmity ; and in 1822. Assidilaired. A.Aplarroaa here put in and read, front Dyer to Baker, dated Syslowa, Eat July, 1821, in which he stated that he had no ob jection to admit Furnley in Smith's place, provided he and Baker would agree to lire at Syracuse seven years each, to enable him to titian to England, or allow him a commission for remaining in Sicily. The witness. in his cross-examination by Mr. Slcaat.tv-r, ad *tided that when he proposed to take Fuenley as a partner. he owed his brother, Nicholas Raker, one of the defendants, 24,0001; that his general debts were 6,000, and Smith's debt of 15.,41091. was unliouidated. lfe had only mentioned to one clerk that Fora- Icy was • partner. Re-examined—Witness had no idea of the house stopping when Fuenley was admitted. Mr. Charles Furnley stated, that he was formerly a partner with Baker in the retail wine trade ; and after Stnith retire d , he entered into an agreement with Baker to come into the genital concern. Ile accepted bills to the amount of I,IIOOL Crwts-exantined.—He did not believe the concern insolvent at the time he joined it. He did not know of Nicholas Baker's debt, or that Seti.h came IN. with 50,0001. and left it with 12,0001 Wit ness might be insolvent when he joined the concern. Ile might have spent MIL a-year, when his income was only 4001. ; but did not think he had spent 1,0001. a-year. 111 r. SCAR LF.T ?, for the defence, said, that if pwrerships were allowed to be so got up, they would be made mal. extensively to serve the purpose of fraud. litre was a man owing 6,0001. to his general creditors, 24,0011. to his brother, and 12,0001. to Smith, and in order to get rid of these old debts forms a new connexion, and sinks the old firm for the purpose of making new debts ; and this partnership was kept so secret, that if it had suited the purpose of the parties better, they could have declared that no implied eon- t-set even existed between them ; foe from Syracuse to London only one person had ever been informed of it; but he would sub mit, independent of all the other discrepancies of the case; that this partnership could not be confirthed because it wanted Dyer's assent: for he only gives a conditional concurrence, and the letter I conveying that conditional concurrence had newts been answered ; or if it had, it had not been produced in evidence. Ilis Lanolirr interrupted the Counsel by olwerving, that he was surprised at Mr. Searlett nut having earlier taken that ob. jection. The f'oußT then directed the Jury to find • verdict for the de fendants, which vas recorded. Labouring persons should know, that if they Inakc en gagements with their masters, for their srn•lics, either as to a fixed time, or fur a stipulated sum, and they after wards fail to fulfil such engem( ments, they are, by a clause of the Act Geo.

AxOTftEl ATTEMPT AT ASSASSlNATiox.—Vestertisy, „To ff* Taylor, a journeynian whitesmith was brought before Jots tr hswLigsow, Esq., the presiding Magistrate, on the following charge : illiam Hamilton, residing at Portland Town, stated that on Saturday evening last, as he and his wife were proceeding home along l'pper Baker -street, New-road, having previously been at the Carpenter's Arms, in James -street, Oxfoni-sveet, the prisoner suddenly accosted him, and said I have been Ikkigp after you; you have been vilifying my character, and using!,ety endeavour to take the bread from my mouth; I was going to your house. Witness told !inn not to come to his residence and bother ldin, for if he did he should give him in charge of a constable, that hemight be dealt with accarding to the laws of his country : on which the prisoner said, I have that about me that will settle it without any law of the country, and putting his hapd into his breast-coat po.:ket, drew a pistol; it however caught refs coat and fell on the ground. Witness seeing it was a pistol *lied out " Vt'hat, you scoundrel! areyou armed with a pistol ?" and instantly seized him, but in the scuffle the prisoner took up the pistol and put it into his pocket. Witness had no doubt he intended to shoot him if he had not been toiled in the attempt. Mr. Rawl.' wsoat—Are you acquainted with the prisoner? Witness—Yes, l have known him about twelve months. The prisoner here said there was a jealousy existing between the parties. The wife of Mr. Hamilton formerly lived with rite for 11 years. I believe she is now married to him, and have no reason to doubt it. I wish them every success, but it is on the contrary with them towards me." _ _ Me. RAWL INSON--Thillt may bet but it does not follow you should cur) , deadly weapons about to commit assassination ; and when you accosted Mr. Hamilton, he informed you, that if you bothered and followed him to his house, he should appeal to the laws of his country, when your reply was, you could settle that without the law of the country. It is therefore my duty to send you before a jury of your country ; and I hold you in good bail, yourself in one hundred pounds, and two sureties in fifty pounds each.

There has been a great stir' s77 — he town once called Plymouth Dock, but now Devonport. This change of name, which took place on Thursday the first day of the new year, was celebrated by processbna, apublit dinner, and other rejoicings. Eveo the pub lication of a Newspaper, an event of such awful moment that it appears too Important to be delayed for any human consideration, was postponed ; and the Plymouth cad bock Jour-sal, usually published on Thursday, did not appear until Friday, in order that the name of Devonport might be introduced into its title, and that It might contain a description of the wonders of the preceding day. The greater part of the shops wore closed, and the town had the appearance of a general holid. Proclamation of the change of name was first mad* In front tithe Town Hall door about a quar ter before ten, in the following manner i—A flourish of trumpets having called attention the Royal mandate for changing the name was read in a dietince and audible voice by R. Rodd, Esq. the Town Clerk. The King's health was then dr:unk, and" God as. the King," and " Devonport for ever," given, amidst the most en thusiastic bursts of applause from all present. A flourish of trum pets and the national air of " God save the Ring" followed, after which the procession was marshalled.

ACCIDENTS, OFFENCES, 4c. On Friday evening last, Joshua Ray was found in a pond n ear the White Horse at Otterbourne, Hants, and when taken out there were some signs of life, but he died soon after. On Thursday a girl of the name of Collins, who was in the habit of carrying mill :shunt in this town, attempted to put an end to her existence by cutting her throat; the wound has been sewed up, and she now lies in a danguats state. Disappointment in love Is said to be the cause of the rash act. —Hampshire. Paper. An inquest was holden on Monday week, before Mr. F. Howard, coroner, upon a view of the body of Ann Gray, a poor woman, who fell down on board the Tyne, in Portsmouth Harbour, and died In consequence: she was intoxicated, and proceeding up the ladder front the lowcr.deck to the upper, her foot slipped, she fell backwards, and her death shortly ensued. Verdict—Accidental Death. Last week, an Irishman, in New-street, Calton, Glasgow, who had lately taken possession of a garret there, wished to raise the hearth-stone a little higher; but while in the act of lifting it, to his astonishment he found below it the complete skeleton of a child. A short time ago, while clearing out a dunghill in the same street, the decayed body of a child was found at the bottom of it. There was light hair on the scalp and it had the appearance of that of a child two or three years old.--Itanchester Paper. Swot.' tura AccIDENT.—On Satunlay last, inquests were held at the Black Horse, Broken Bank, Salford, on the bodies of three children, John, James, and Elizabeth Butler, whose parents reside in Broughton, near Bank-mill. It appeared that about live o'clock in the afternoon of Christinas-day, the father and mother went out to visit some friends, leaving their children to be put to bed by a female neighbour. This was done, and the parents returned home early in the evening. Finding the house-part tilled with smoke, and the children sleeping in a small confined adjoining room, on the ground floor, whence there was no vent for it, their apprehen sions were excited, and they alarmed some neighbours. On their entering the children's bed-room, it was found completely enveloped in smoke, and the poor creatures in a state of suffocation. One of them died the same evening, and the other two the following day. Verdict—" Died by suffocation occasioned by entoke."—Max. cheater Castellon. Early on the morning of Thursday last, Moses Hodgson, of Hall. guards, who had slept at the Bush Inn, Brampton, arose from his bed and precipitated himself out of the window , _ three stories high. Some persona returning soon after front the Methodists' Chapel, discovered the unfortunate man lying on the pavement Ma helpless state, and Immediately gave an alarm, when he was removed to his quarters, and medical assistance promptly procured. On exami nation it was found that he was not much bruised, and that none of his bones were fractured. A few hours after the accident he was taken to his own residence, and it is fully expected he will recover. —Carlisle Journal. We are happy to find that all the villains supposed to bis con. cerned in the robbery of John Tyres's cottage at Peekirk, are safely lodged in Peterborough gaol. A strong chain of evidence is col lected, independent of that given by the accomplice. Amongst other things the following circumstance occurred :—one of the men, on finding his companion had turned evidence against hint, gave a little girl his linen to be washed, and at the same time taking off an old waistcoat, bade her tell her mother to tear it in pieces and make a took ale; this was not noticed at the time, but it being remarked dints/ea man was without a waistcoat, an inquiry was made, and the`waistcost was discovered torn to shreds, and made into a mop ; it proves to be one stolen from the cottage, and is iden tified as belonging to Tyers. A pair of small-clothes have also been Mund, which can be sworn to. About the time the robbery was committed, several suspicious persons were examined, parti cularly two front Crowland; they denied having committed the burglary, but acknowledged that they intended to break into the houie, but were prevented by some other persons totally uncon nected with them havirg got the start of them, and plundered the cottage while they were only plqnning.—fleetinevion Gazette. Poacaxits.—On the night of Thursday week, about half-past ten o'clock, Thomas Myers, the game-keeper of Colonel Phimbe, and an under-keeper named James Garside, having heard some fir ing in the woods in the neighbourhood of Tong Hail, and suppos. log it to proceed from phesaant.shooters, made an appointment (Garside having In the first instance secured the aid of another of the under.keepers named Booth), to meet at a certain part of the wood, with a view of detecting, if possible, the offenders. But be fore Garside and Booth had arrival at the place of rendezvous, they encountered four men armed with guns, two of whom they reeog. !deed as Jacob Pearson, of Wibsey, and George Riley, of Brad. ford, the former of whom immediately basal Booth, whilst his three associates commenced a most murderous attack upon Garside with the butt-end, of their guns, after which, supposing life to be extinct, they threw him into a ditch ; Riley then went np to Booth, who had mastered his assailant, and commenced a similar attack upon hint, from which he did not desist till he had cruelly beaten him. The four means then decamped with Booth's sword and Garside's stick and hat, leaving behind them the butt-end of one gun sad part of the stock of another, which had been broken in the I fray. In about live minutes afterwards Myers arrived on the spot, with five assistants, end found Garside almost lifeless and Booth in • pitiable state. They were both carried home, and on Friday Amide was removed to the General Infirmary of this town, where he now remains. Both these unfortunate men are, we understand, likely to do well. One of the brutal perpetrators of this outrage has been arrested and committed to IVaketleld House of Came . tion:—Lads ifereurp. MELANCIIOLE Dittetraesrawce.—On Saturday night, about half-past ten, a pour old woman, of the name of Kitty Maguire, who was in the habit of selling nuts about the streets, went into the Wearers' Arms, Cockpit-hill; she appeared unwell, and had a little gin given her. A watchman came in, and promised the land lady he would take her towards home to the extent of his round, and would pan her on by the neat watchman. On arriving at the end of Hodson's-court, she fell down ; the man considered her in liquor, and put her on some steps, where she remained a short time. A gen tlemani who was passing, wished the watchmen to take her home, or to the Police-offices this they refused to do, alleging that they could not leave their rounds, and that when they found people in that state they were only to put them out of the way of carts, &e. In a short time, when they again came to the poor creature, she appeared to be dying, and they had hardly got her back to the Weavers' Arms when she expired. An Inquest was held on Tues day morning, when it appeared that the woman had taken a good deal of liquor before she came to the Weavers' Arms. Mr. La. vender and Mr. Derbyshire attended the inquest, and meted, that *hen they found people in the streets, so affected in liquor as to be in danger, or unable to tell where they lived, they always sent them to the Vagrant-office or the New Miley, as, at this time of the year, exposure would endanger their lives. The verdict of the Jury was, " Died by the visitation of Hod."—Mencherfer Guar. FATAL. ACCIDENT.--WedfleSilly morning, between eigh t and nine o'clock, two privates of the Girth regiment were fou nd dead, at the bottom of the Castle rock, on the north side. They had en deavoured the night before to get out at the gate, but were prevented by the sentinel ; and in attempting to clamber down the rock, had lost their hold, and fallen seemingly from a great height, as their bodies were much inangled. A watch in one of their pockets was stopped at the hour of one.--Cokdosian Mercury. AIELANCIIOLT ACCIDENT.--On Wednesday evening, Roth ult., a lamentable accident occurred near Rathapeck, occasioned by a horse that took fright and ran away with a car, on which were • young man of the name of Fortune, about 18 years of age, and three young women, two of them his sisters. The young man was thrown to the ground with violence, and one of the wheels paved over his body, so as to cause immediate death. About lb minutes after, the body was examined be Dr. N. Devereux, who said his death was caused by a rupture of the aerie. An inquest was held upon the body by W. Richardson and J. Harvey, Eaqm.—Verdict, " Accidental Death." One of the unfortunate youth's Sian@ was dreadfully injured by having been also dashed upon the road. She was ta ken up in a state of insensibility, and was con. veved to a neighbouring house, where she lies dangerously ill. To add another pang to the painful sensation which this melancholy circumstance is calculated to produce, and to fur nish an additional proof of the mutability and uncertainty of sublunary things, we understand that the party who were proceed ing home to filunstown when the accident happened, had beemio town purchasing wedding-dresses fee the young woman alluded to, now not expected to recover-- Werford Paper. ATTEMPT AT 111 u ntil•--On Monday CTIPIIOII a copperplate printer, of the name of Mitchell, whose wife raided in the Potter row, and from whom he had been sometime separated, called upon her, semi, it is sant, deliberately plunged • table knife into her left side, when no person was present but Mrs. Mitchell's mother and a bids girt. Immediately after perpettatiog the horrid deed bi made his escape; and though the most exten sive and diligent search has been made after him, no trace of hint has yet been discovered. The wound i nflicted upon the poor woman was so severe, that it was found unsafe to remove her to the Infirmary ; but she has hail eve!) , proper surgical aid front that establishment. At the same time, very faint hopes are entertained of her recovery. Her declaration was taken the same evening by the Sheriff: Mitchell had long been on bad terms with his wife, whom he used to beat severely whenever he happened to be intoxicated. And a short time since he was bound over by the Police Court to keep the peace towards her, under the I penalty of 101. It is said that the too succesaful attempt upon his wife's life was made by himin a fit of groundless jealousy ; but all the circumstances lead to the belief that the act was premeditated C'aletlanian Mercury. There sterna to be no doubt that Lemman, whose name has been so long connected with the prisoners at Hertford, and for whom an active search was retitle, is now in custody. Ile was apprehend,A, we learn, in Paris. We understand that the unfortunate conjurer, Demp ster, who some time mince accidentally swallowed a case knife, has left this city, and proceeded by coach to London. Catlisk Juurnat. A Daum or HUMAN SNIN.—John Zisca, General of the insurgents who took up arms in the year 1419 against the Emperor Sigisround, to revenge the deaths of John Iluss and Jerome of Prague, who had been cruelly burnt to death for their religious tenets, defeated the Emperor in several pitched battles; having lost the only eye he had left, he hail the magnanimity to head his troops as usual, giving his directions to the general officers, and assisting in their victories. He gave orders, that after his death, they should make g drum of his skin : which was most reli giously obeyed, and those very remains of the enthusiastic Zisca proved for many years fatal to the Emperor, who with difficulty, in the space of sixteen years, recovered Bo hemia, though assisted by the forces of Germany, and the terror of ('rusades. The insurgents were 40,00 t) in nuni ber, and well disciplined. DEATHS IN MINTING. - ire extract nnderneath, from the Papers received yesterday, tip , deaths in hunting, in the course of last week, and both by d ie ,, ing. In our yesterday's Paper was another case of Preaaely t h e same kind : On Friday, the 2tlth ult. a melancholy accident happened IF% the Hurworth fox-I:minds were out. The Rev. Mannaduke The a k. ston, in the ardour of the chase. was tempted to cross the r e „, Tees, at a ford near iVorsidi. The water was deeper than usad, and he unfortunately olimonk the ford. His horse (a powerful e l l spirited animal) swam with him into the middle of the river, c i ,„ getting impatient, he reared and threw his rider backward. 'fheakston was then observed to swim (apparently strong and oral;, and several gentlemen who watched him with extreme anxiety, h eel hopes he would reach the shore ; but all at once, when within IL. yards of it, he sunk, and never rose again. Mr. T. was son ofn l , Rev. Mr. 'l'heakaton, Rector of Ilurwoeth, an only child, and fl , z to a very ample fortune. This melancholy event has plunged hy parents and friends in the deepest distress. The body had not k ee , found on the ;pith ult. A most nielancholy accident happened to John Edwards, Esq. os Silsoe, in this county, on Friday the 213tb of Decentber last, b, which he unfortunately lost his life. ft appears that Mr. Edwie,f, was out with the Oakley hounds, when in attempting to cro l i ford at a place called Newton, in Buckinghamshire, nearly o r , site to Braytield_house, the scat of 31ajor Farm., and which hf previously been passed by many of the sportsmen in perfect safe:,, he, with several other gentlemen, who were not acquainted with 4 proper course they ought to have followed, took a wrong direction, when all of them flounced headlong into deep water. Mr. Edt ark who was on a very spirited horse, unhappily lost his seat, but s kept fast bold of the bridle, and it is supposed in his exertions , save himself, that the animal, whilst struggling and plunging in water, struck him on the head with its fore-feet, which stua T t hint, through which accident he sunk, and was drowned. fi, companions with great difficulty escaped with their lives, and al the horses were rescued. Mr. Edwards was a most respectable ma, and possessed very considerable property in the county. lie has let a widow and eight children to deplore his lamentable fate, and Mrs Edwards is now far advanced in a state of pregnancy.—Bcd , i-.: Gazette.
