The mar k et, i n o t r, pre sents a firmer appearance than for some c le past, and if the e x p or t s to the contiLent should eccasion further withdrawals of bullion on a larger t 6 i. c ale, the authorities may be compelled to modify " existing regulations, by advancing the mini tnani to 3 per cent.

ANOTHER BRUTAL OUTRAGE IN SOUTH STAF FORDSIIIRE.—An account of another brutal outrage comes from South Staffordshire. At Sedgley, near Dudley, un fortunately the scene of too many crimes of a like descrip tion, some men were drinking in the Swan Inn, on Satur day evening. A quarrel took place, and a young man named Slater interposed. Two men, ono of whom was en • gaged in the quarrel, and the other his companion, turned upon Slater, and whilst one beat him about tho head with a jug:, the other struck at him with a knife, and wounded him in the hand. The company interposed and rescued Slater, but he is seriously injured, and the two fellows aro in custody. PRICE OF GOLD.—The quotation of gold at Paris is about 1 dis. and the short exchange on' Londm is ;25.10 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the Eng lish Mint price of £3 17s. 101 d. per ounce for otandard gold, it appears that gold is at about 2-10ths per cent_ dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from Hamln trg the price of gold is 423 per mark, and the short excha age on London is 13.31 per £1 sterling. Standard gold at the English Mint price is therefore at about 1 10th pe r cont. dearer in Hamburg than in London. The course o.f ex change at New York on London for bills at GO days' .right is about 1101 per cent., which, when compared with. the Mint par between the two countries, shows that the ex change is in favour of England ; and, after making allowance for charges of transport and difference of inte rest, the present rate leaves a small profit on the importi.- lion of gold from the United States. The Admiralty will receive tenders on the 10th inst. for the supply of 150,000 lbs. of suet, 50 tons of raisin 5, 300 tons of sugar, 800 qrs. of split peas, and 240 torts of salt.

Gt ILDHALL. IitTOFIES, TUB ABSCONDING BANKII:UPT.—MT. David Hughes, solicitor, was this morning brought up on remand, before Mr. Alderman Lawrence. The different charges upon which evidence has been brought were-Ist, Fraudu lently absconding and not surrendering to his bankruptcy; 2d, fraudulently obtaining £873 in connection with a pro rrty at Maryland Point, under false pretences; 3d, mis appropriating £l,OOO under the Fraudulent Trustees Act; and 4th, obtaining £l,OOO on valueless securities, on fable pretences. Although the debts proved do not amount to more than £30,000, it is in evidence that all the documents by which their claims are secured are utterly valueless. The claims under the bankruptcy amount to upwards of £200,000. _ _ _ Between 30 and 40 witnesses signed their depositions, and were bound over to prosecute at the Central Criminal Court. The prisoner was committed for trial. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A DETERMINED PAIR OF YOUNG THIEVES.—SINGULAR CASE.—Mary Welsh and Sarah Welsh, but whose real names are Mary Tucker and Sarah Burnes, and who are both very young, were charged with stealing a pair of boots, the property of Mr. Thomas Johnson, bootmaker, 3, Little Crown-court, Soho. From the evidence of Mrs. Johnson, wife of the prosecu tor, it appeared the prisoners came into the shop on the pre vious afternoon and asked to see a pair of boots at Os. 6d., and the prisoner Sarah also asked for a pair of slippers and goloshes for her mother. Seeing the prisoner Mary make a suspicious movement with her hand to a bag she had with her, she suddenly went round the counter, and seizing the bag, asked what she had in it, telling her at the same time that she thought she had something in it that did not be long to her, and on looking into the bag she found the boots produced, which were taken from under a shelf near where she sat. The prisoners said they had bought them at Crawley's, in Dudley-•street. Forge, 196 C, proved taking the prisoners into custody, and, on asking where they lived, they said, " round the corner." Gordon, 336 A, said, at the August sessions, in 1859, the prisoner Sarah was tried at the Westminster sessions (along with a woman named Williams) in the name of Sarah Barnes, for robbing 42 children of their clothes ; she being sentenced to two months in the House of Correction, and to four years in a reformatory, and the prisoner Williams to three years. The latter part of her (Barnes) sentence, however, was not carried out. She (Barnes) was also at Clerkenwell Police-court summarily dealt with for robbing children, and also at another police-court. The other pri soner, whose real name was Tucker, had also been con victed at the sessions. The prisoners were committed for trial. Mr. E. T. Smith (of Drury-lane Theatre) has forwarded £1 10s. for Mrs. Nott, whose daughter, eight years of age, was so brutally assaulted by her husband ; ho being com mitted for six months. THAMES. A GREAT MORAL NUISANCR.—WiIIiam Wood and Geo. Legg, boys in the employ of Mr. Edward Tappenden, builder, of No. 3, Arbour-street West, Stepney, and Thos. Schultz, the keeper of a marine store and rag shop it Charles-street, Stepney, were brought before Mr. Selfe, charged, the former with stealing an iron plate value 35., the property of their master, and Schultz with feloniously receiving the same, knowing it to be stolen. Mr. Tappenden said he missed an iron plate from his yard on Tuesday morning, and suspecting the boys, accused them of the robbery, which they at first denied, but in the course of the last evening admitted they had stolen it and sold it to Schultz. He went to the shop of the prisoner Schultz and there found the iron plate, for which the dealer had given sd. only, and some bones were included in the purchase. The dealer wanted to settle the matter and give up the plate, but he was determined to have the mat ter investigated publicly. He was quite willing to forgive the boys and take them back into his service again. Schultz, in defence, said he thought it no harm to buy the iron plate of the boys when they called upon him, but now he found he had done wrong. Mr. Selfe—Nonsense ; you know you had no right to buy the iron plate of the boys. Marine-store shops are a great moral nuisance, owing to the facilities they furnish for the disposal of stolen property. You, Schultz, have not given a satisfactory account of the possession of the property, and I fine you 40s. If you are brought before me again under similar circumstances I will commit you for trial. The boys have got a very good and merciful master, and I will dis charge them in accordance with his re quest, and I hope they will give up pilfering. THIS DAY'S MABKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. Only a limited supply of English wheat was on offer in to-day's market. Although the demand was by no means active, most of the samples were disposed of at Monday's currency. In foreign wheat, the show of which was tolerably good, very little was passing; nevertheless, prices wore supported Floating cargoes were held at extreme rates. Fine barley moved off steadily ; other kinds slowly, on former terms. Malt supported last week's quotations. There was a good consumptive inquiry for oats, and fine samples were the turn doarer. Both beans and peas wire scarce, and in steady request, at full prices. Flour was firm, but the demand was by no means active. ARRIVALS TR'S WEEK. • Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

For months past articles entrusted to the company for conveyance have been unaccountably lost, and heavy sums have been paid in some instances as compensation. On Saturday morning, Mr. Farmer, the detective officer employed by the company, and Mr. Palethorpe, superintendent of the Nottinghamshire police, went to the houses of two men named Robert Shel ton and John Manchester, in Clifton-street, Lenton, a vil lage near Nottingham. On the premises they found lace, brocade, sugar, tea, tobacco, guns, rifles, a number of locks for which the company had paid £49 compensation six ' months ago, and a quantity of other property, amounting altogether to over £lOO in value, which has been identified as having been stolen from the Midland Railway Company, The prisoners were taken before Lord Belper and the sitting magistrates at the County-hall, and were remanded for a week. Both had been in the service of the company. MISS MARTINEaU ON CRINOLINE,—Do the pet ticoats of our time serve as anything but a mask to the human form—a perversion of human proportions ? A woman on a sofa looks like a child popping up from a hay cock. A girl in the dance looks like the Dutch tumbler that was a favourite toy in my infancy. The fit is so the reverse of accurate as to be like a silly hoak—a mas querade without wit : while, at the same time, it is not an easy fit. The prodigious weight of the modern petticoat, and the difficulty of getting it all into the waistband, creates a necessity for compressing and loading the waist in a way most injurious to health. Under a rational method of dress the waist should suffer neither weight nor pressure—nothing more than the girdle which brings the garment into form and folds. As to the convenience of the hooped skirts, only ask the women themselves, who arc always in danger from fire, or wind, or water, or carriage-wheels, or rails, or pails, or nails, or, in short, everything they encounter. Ask the husbands, fathers, or brothers, and hear how they like being cut with the steel frame when they enter a gate with a lady, or being driven into a corner of the pew at church, or to the outside of the coach, for want of room..—Once a Week. SCOTCH TO THE BACK-BONE.—The terrace be hind Fife House, Whitehall, which looks upon the Thames, is made entirely of gravel brought up by sea from Banff shire; the old Earl of Fife, when ho was made a British p:er some century ago, havingvowed that if ho was forced to live in London half the year, at all events he would always walk on Scottish soil.—Once a Week.

It appears frsm the weekly return of the Regis trar-General that the mean temperature of the air in the last week of October was 17 deg. lower than that of the second week in t:le month; and the re turns of mortality show the effect of increased cold in an increase of deaths, which rose from 902 to 1,048, the latter number being returned for the week that ended last Saturday. In the corresponding weeks of ten years 1849-58 the average number of deaths was 1,023 ; but a , .• the deaths returned for last week occurred in an in creased population, they should be compared with the average raised in proportion to the increase, namely, with 1,125. The comparison shows that the deaths in the present return are less by 77 than they would have been if the average rate of mor tality bad ruled. The deaths from bronchitis and pneumonia, which were in the previous week respectively 42 and 32, rose last week to 58 and 43. Phthisis or consump tion rose from 139 to 155 ; hooping-cough from 4to 15. Scarlatina continues high, but discovers iittle fluctuation ; it was fatal last week in 91 cases, diphtheria in 11. Th e R eg i strar of -St. Leonard,' Shoreditch, mentions a house, 10, Kingsland-read, where four children have died from scarlatina within six weeks. Twenty-two deaths are referred to smallpox. Mr. Wilson, the Registrar of St. John Mary le bone, who registered a death fr6m sma ll pox last week at 47, Princess-street, thus writes :—" About six weeks ago a gardener living at 48, Princess street, Portman-market, was attacked by small pox of a severe character, but recovered. Th e disease spread, and on 29th September the daughter of a railway porter, aged 8 years, on the sth Octo ber a son of the same railway porter, aged 16 months, and on the 10th October the son of a jour neyman plumber, aged 18 months, died of it, all in the same house (No. 48). It then appeared in the next house (No. 47), where the child of a journey man bricklayer, who was attacked on 13th October, died on 25th October; and the father of the same child, who is out of work from the present strike in the building trade, was taken ill of smallpox on the 18th. and is still under the attack. It will thus be seen, that in rather less than a month smallpox of a virulent character attacked six persons in two adjoining houses, of whom the four children died. Some other cases, although not of a fatal character, have appeared in another part of my sub-district. It should be added that some of the children whose deaths are recorded had been very imperfectly vaccinated, some not at all, and others only after the appearance of the epidemic." Two children died in the week from ngevus. A young girl died from coup de soleil received three months ago. An infant died of pemphigus ; a washerwoman of elephantiasis ; a hawker, aged 40 years, at 6, Crooked Billet-yard, from starvation. Three persons, aged respectively 90, 96, and 98 years, died in the week ; also a centenarian (a widow), whose age is stated to be 101 years 9 months, and who dled at 12, Gun-yard, Aldgate. Last week the births of 823 boys and 822 girls, in all 1,645 children, were registered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1849- 58 the average number was 1,564. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.361 in. The readings rose from 28 . 92 in. on Wednesday to 29.89 in. on Thursday, being respectively the lowest and highest in the week. The mean tem perature of the air in the week was 38.6 deg., which is 8.8 deg. below the average of the same week in 43 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). On Sunday and Monday the extent of depression was 15 deg. and nearly 16 deg. •, on Tuesday and Thursday about 10 deg. ; and throughout the week the mean daily temperature was more or less below the average. The thermometer in the shade fell to its lowest point 26.5 deg. on Monday, and rose to its highest 56 deg. on Friday. The range of the week was therefore 29.5 deg. The mean daily range was 15 . 3 deg. The diffrence between the mean dew-point temperature and air temperature was 2.3 deg. The mean degree of humidity of the air was 90 ; on the first three days the humidity approached complete saturation. Snow fell fast for about an hour on Monday. Rain fell to the amount of 0.90 in., the greater part of which fell on Tuesday. The wind was almost constantly in the south-west. On Tuesday the horizontal move ment of the air was at the average rate of 18 miles per hour, as shown by Robinson's anemometer. On Wednesday from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. the average pres sure of the wind was 811bs. on the square foot ; the greatest pressure 131bs. ; and its average hourly velocity was 35 miles. REGISTRAR•GENERAL'S ,QUARTERLY RETU.RN. The following is the substance of the Quarterly Return of the Births, Deaths, and Marriages regis tered in the divisions, counties, and districts of Eng land, just issued by authority of the Registrar- General : This return comprises the births and deaths' re-_ gistered by 2,197 registrars in all the districts of England during the summer quarter that ended on September 30, 1859; and the marriages in 12,377 churches or chzpels, about 4,158 registered places of worship unconnected with the established church, and 631 superintendent registrars' offices, in the quarter that ended on June 30,1859. The returns present a favourable view of the state of the country. The marriages increased, as they do when the prospect of life among the working classes is cheering. Thousands of children in ex- MSS of the average were born ; the rate of morta lity diminished ; and the population increased at an unusual rate. As the diminution in the rate of mortality took place in the towns it may be fairly ascribed to the prosperous state of trade, to the supply of better water, the abolition of cesspools, the purification of the air, and the various sanitary works which many of them have carried out. MARRIAGES.-84,090 persons married in the quar ter that ended on June 30, or 4,272 in excess of the numbers who married in the corresponding quarter of last year. The marriage rate was 1,712 ; the average of the quarter being 1,698. In England marriages are more numerous in the spring quarter than in the first three months of the year, but they are always most numerous in the Christmas quar ter. BIRTHS.—The births of 168,311 children were registered in the quarter that ended on September 30. The number is 10,862 in excess of the births in the corresponding quarter of last year. The birth rate in the quarter was 3.377 ; the average being 3.246. INCREASE OF POPULATION.— 63,072 was the ex cess of the number of births over the number of deaths, and that was therefore the natural in crease of the population of England and Wales in 92 days. On an average 695 were added to the po pulation daily, and the probable daily increase of the population of the United Kingdom was 1,042, which at the ordinary rates of mortality will supply 347 men daily of the age of 20. The youth of the country are growing at such a rate as to add a bat talion to its strength every two or three days. A certain number of them are transpli rated, and go to people the colonies. 34,864 emigrants sailed during the quarter, or 379 men, women, and children on an average daily, from the ports of the United Kingdom at which there are Government agents; of whom about 12,464 were of English origin. PRICES, THE WEATHER, AND PAUPERISM.—The price of wheat has remained steadily at nearly the same figure for a year and nine months; and during the last three months it has been 445. a quarter. This steadiness of price in an article of large consumption has a salutary effect. Beef has been 51d. a pound, mutton 51d. a pound by the carcase at Leadenhall and Newgate markets. The price of beef is the same as it was in the correspond ing quarter of 1858, and the eighth of a penny less than it was in 1857 ; the price of mutton in the same quarters was 51d., 54d. The average prices of the higher qualities of the two meats de creased id. in the pound, or beef from 60. to 6d.; mutton, 7d. to 611 d. Potatoe ; were sold at the rate of 85s. a ton at the waterside market, Southwark ; in the corresponding quarter of two previous years the prices were 105 s. and 765. 6d. The prices of the present year, like the temperatures of the sea sons, occupy an intermediate positiod between those of 1857, when they were higher, and 1858, when they were lower. The mean temperatulT of the quarter was 62 deg. 8 min., or 3 deg. 3 min, above the average temperature of the season during 88 years. The excessive heat was accumulated chiefly in July, when the mean temperature was 68 deg. 1 min. ; while on July 12th the air in the shade reached 92,4 deg., and 93 deg. on the 13th and the 18th; so that during 10 successive days the mean temperature ol day and night exceeded 70 deg., a thing unprece dented during the period over which correct obser. vatious extended. The air was drier (72) than usual ; but the rain-fall (8.2 inches) somewhat ex ceeded the quarterly average. The thermometer on the grass never fell below 40 deg. in July and August, whereas it usually falls several times to the freezing point of water. Pauperism is below the average in the kingdom. The average number of paupers in receipt of relief during the quarter wa5783,449, or less by about 29,000 than the num bers receiving relief in the corresponding quarters of the two previous years. STATE OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH.-104,339 per sons died in the last quarter. The number is 6,079 in excess of the deaths, 98,260, in the corres ponding summer quarter of last year; and the rate of mortality, 2,093 per cent., is below the average (2,138); the excess in that average being due to the epidemics of cholera. A certain number of the deaths in the quarter may he set down a natural deaths, and they would not have exceeded 73,533 if the mortality in the sixty districts of England, by no means in unexceptionable sanitary condition, be taken as the standard. The 30,806 deaths in excess of that number are unnatural deaths, the results of causes which it is the duty of every member of the community to endeavour to remove. It is a remarkable fact that the mortality of the quarter in the small towns and the country parishes was above their avei age, to the extent ofmore than one death annually out of every 1,000 living. A still greater excess might have been expected in the large town districts, whereas the reverse was ob served ; the mortality having been at the rate of 2 in 1,000 less than the average. The summer mor tality in the town districts was formerly to that of the rest of the country as 26 to 18 ; in the last quarter it was 23 to 19 ; and the difference will undoubtedly be still considerable when all the dense districts are supplied with pure water, and with the means of returning all their refuse to the fields as manure in an innoxiovs state. The deaths in Lon don clurieg the quarter exceeded the average. The high temperature facilitated the decomposi tion of the impure refuse under the houses, in the streets, and in the river. Diarrhoea was un usually fatal all over the London area ; scarlatina and diptheria were epidemic. In the surrounding divisions the mortality was also above the ave rage, as there the same diseases prevailed, with variable degrees of severity. In Kent diphtheria was the cause of several deaths in Brenchley near Toubridge, Aldington, Wingham, and Deal. In New Romney, of the Romney Marsh district, re mittent fever was prevalent and fatal ; to 9 births there were 31 deaths. The deaths in Brighten amounted to 423; in the Worthing district to 84. The Broadwater Register says :—" The deaths are 20 per cent. below the average, very few having occurred in , the town of Worthing, namely, only 17 nut of a population, including visitors, of 8,000. The deaths in the previous quarter were only 20. I attribute this result, principally to the complete sanitary measures carried out in the town, under the supervision of , the 80 - ird of Health." When will all the English watering-places carry out " com plete sanitary measures," and thus assert their su periority over foreign places of resort ? In the South-Western Division, Wilts, Dorset, and Devon suffered an unusually high rate of mor tality ; scarlatina, diphtheria, and smallpox have proved fatal in many cases. " Sanitary arrange ments are far from gaod, in many houses" not only of Abbotsbury, where three deaths occurred in one house over drains in the worst possible condition, but it is to be feared in many other parts of these great counties. In the West Midland Counties the deaths amounted to 12,675. The health of several of the Stafford districts is still bad. Measles, scarlatina, diarrhan, and typhus have ken fatal ; in several houses of Bilston two and three children have been carried off by measles. " I fear," says the Regis trar " that often little notice is taken of illness, until secondary symptoms appear, when medical aid is too late. Persons first apply to a druggist, and afterwards to a medical man, but not till the day before death. _ _ The North Midland Counties have suffered in various parts from diphtheria ; the low marshy dis tricts have been severely visited; but the deaths (6,467) do not imply in the county aggregates higher rates of mortality than usual. In Lancashire and Cheshire the deaths (15,509) are in numbers below those registered in the sum mer quarters of the two preceding years. The mortality is below that of preceding years in Liverpool, and will be still lower when all the required sanitary works are carried out. The ex penditure up to the present time has borne ample fruits. In Yorkshire 10,983 deaths were registered. The rate of mortality is lower than it was. Yorkshire. lying between the Humber and the Tees—lofty moorlands and the German Ocean—is now occu pied by nearly two millions of people, living much in aggregated masses, but with families charac teristically distributed in 400,000 separate dwell. ings. The workpeople are now in an average town. health ; and through the incessant noises of ma chinery are often heard as the day declines pleasant voices singing the concerted songs of the Bradford minstrels. 31AYORAL7'Y PREPARATIONS. ' The preparations that have been some time in progress for the Mayoralty Banquet, of the 9th November, are now nearly completed, that is, as far as they can be so far in advance of the time. It is no secret that Lord Mayor's Show, as such, is in its decadence, banners and plush are less and less esteemed every year, at least in outward ob servances ; and Mr. Alderman Carter, the Lord Mayor elect, has no intention to attempt a revival of what the age has unmistakeably pronounced to be superfluous and unnecessary. The procession has declined since Alderman Mechi gave it a cha ractertNaßvitiliaidl t l t s y i tt c b s . eea h m o ci r no s e gn s t is. w ai le i kt l ee l dn ta i ls display j,earn o their r ey piebald ph eer fl ah a ha n or k s ws , by a displ a y o f agr i cu l tura l mac hi nery. at last ceases to be a show at all. The present state of arrangements for the cele bration may be very briefly described. The proemsion, as just remarked, will be as simple as possible, without too rashly violating time-hallowed usages. There will be no special feature of interest, but the companies will be represented as usual, and esta blished forms adhered to. The boys of the Chelsea Military School and the boys of the Marine Society will not take part in it. The route will be chosen as direct as possible, and, as all the world knows, there will be no procession en the river. At Guild hall the usual signs of festis ity will be exhibited, and the decorations will be but slightly varied from the order obieryed on previous occasions. They will be under the superintendence of Mr. Bunning, the City architect, who will display his excellent taste without stint, there being no intention to reduce in even the smallest degree the splendour and libe ralty of the banquet. The presentation of the Lord Mayor elect to the Lord Chancellor took place this morning, at Stratheden House, Knightsbridge. The Aldermen attended at Guildhall, in their gowns, at 9 o'clock, and accompanied the Lord Mayor elect thither. The Lord Mayor's state coach is painted a rich blue, and lined with white and silver, with handsome silver mountings. It is lined and full padded with drab figured silk, with broad drab lace, to correspond with festoon sun-blinds. It is suspended on a fashionable perch carriage, with under springs and carved blocks, and has a hand some standard box, and carved hind standards ; a full-mounted seat-cloth of blue, with silver orna ments. The footmen-holders are of lace. The body is emblazoned with the arms of the company, the private arms of Mr. Alderman Carter, and the City arms, with supporters and ornaments handsomely painted in panels. The four-horse harness is of a most elegant pattern, with richly-chased mountings and ornaments attached. The coachman's and footmen's hats will be trimmed with rich silver lace, of the same pattern as that on the coat, with the crest embroidered on the front ; the feathers are amber and white. The postilions' caps will also be trimmed with silver lace and rich bullion silver tassels at the sides, with the Lord Mayor's' crest mounted on the top. Tho banquet will be in no way shorn of its customary splendour, nor will any detail be omitted which might b© necessary to render it complete, as an example of civic hospitality. The viands and wines are to be of the best, and are to be supplied by Messrs. Staples of the Albion, who have given such great satisfaction on former occasions. The dinner service, among which are the enormous number of 220 soup tureens, will be entirely of one pattern, as will also the plate and glass to be used on the occasion. We mention this fact, be cause, we bel . ve, Messrs. Staples are the only persons able o accomplish such a thing. There t will be two q adrille bands to perform after dinner, and the Orpheus Glee Club and several eminent leading roc 'lists are engaged for the entertainment of the comp ny. The upholst er y w ill b e su pplied l i by Messrs , erring and So n ; th e gas fitti ng s, by Messrs. Lo e ; the decorations, by Mr. Fenton; and Mr. Btmning will have the general superin tendence of the whole. The tickets for the dinner will be issued after Monday next. EXTRAORDINARY BRUTALITY.—There is now in custody at Wednesbury a man named Joseph Hill, who has been guilty of the most revolting brutality upon an Irish man named John Malony. Hill and Malony, with others, had been drinking together in Mr. Woodward's public house, in High-street, before they proceeded together to the house of one of the party, in a court in the rear of Mr. Woodward's. Here a previously commenced dispute was resumed, and Hill, seizing Malony, struck him, and then held down his head before the fire with one hand, whilst with the other he took from the grate a kettle of boiling water. He first tried to pour the water down Ma lony's throat, but was unable, and the scalding water ran over Maloney's face. Hill then poured the water into his victim's ear, and over the other portions of his head and face. Despite his screams and struggles, Hill continued to hold him in front of the fire, and thus greatly increased the otherwise intense torture that ho was soaring. Ho held him till the pocr fellow became burnt as well as scalded. When at length Malony was released he seemed to have little vitality remaining in his system : the hair came off his head, and his countenance was shockingly disfigured. A surgeon. was sent for, and was soon in a ttendance, but expressed grave doubts of the man's recovery. On Saturday a local paper reported that the case had had a fatal termination, b ut fro m m i n a g t u u i r r e y o t n h t a h t e t h s p o o u t gwh tso alarm nc , an . that the t g great agony, yet the inj uries have no ni lieeroaunsnsotuanteeeg.dstuiffseprm.reg estlieallmin e as at first they had.—Afanchesto • .4,;(zmlner. 20 201 100 100 100 100 Stock Stock Stock iharel Share
