as long as its prison is a house of refuge, and a com paratively happy home to so rate a portion of its out cast population.* " I have collected some statistical information on these subjects, which I think will be interesting in connexion with Mexican prisons, and prove hcw theessary it is, in the first place, to alter their whOle system of coercive discipline ; and, in the si co❑d, to strike immediately at the root of the evil, by improving the condition of the people, by educa:ing and proposing advantages to them, in the cultivation cf the extensive tracts of country that now lie barren over their immense terri. tory. " Without specify rif,* each of the several crimes for which these persons were committed to prison, or being able, from all the accounts furnished me, to state the ex act number of those who were finally convicted, I will present some lists of the numbers imprisoned for the crimes during the whole year:— " The total number of prisoners of both sexes for 1842 was 6,055 men and 2,806 women, which, added together, give the frightful amount of 8,934 males and females, for the higher crimes and misdemeanors—leav ing a balance of 1,927 only to be divided among the lesser. It should be stated, in addition to the above, that numbers were committed for throwing vitriol on the clothes and faces of persons passing along the street; that 113 dead bodies were found; 17 individuals exe cuted, and 894 sent to the hospital. " The sum of 4,121 dollars is expended in salaries of officers for this institution, and 30,232 dollars for the support of the prisoners." • "As an evidence of the little value these leperos place upon their lives, an old resident in Mexico told me that he had once been the witness of a street-tight between two we men, which resulted in the use of knives, and the ripping of one's belly, so that her bowels were exposed. The wound was not fatal, and as soon' as she had slightly recovered from the loss of Word, while the attendants were preparing a litter, she drew forth a cigarrito from her bosom, obtained a light from a bystander, and was borne off to the hospital smoking as contentedly as if preparing for a siesta!" IRELAND. DUBLIN, OCT. 17.—The following gratifying state ment is embodied in the Cork Examiner's weekly re view of the corn trade, a document which appears to be drawn up by a person conversant with the subject upon which he treats : " The injury done to the potato crop is an evil of the first magnitude, but an evil which, we now believe, has been somewhat over rated. That the plant has not been totally destroyed, as many have imagined, is, from recent investigation, becoming manifest. A portion of it, there is no doubt, will be found fit for consumption. The quantity remaining sound will be about one-third of a crop, or may even exceed that amount. Still the loss is very great, and, as this loss must be supplied by grain of some description, it follows that a large amount of corn will be required to make up the deficiency. As respects this country, we believe, and our opinion is founded on an inspection of the export returns, that a sufficient quantity of grain to supply the wants of our people is grown in the island—that is, provided ncne were sent out of it. This admitted, we shall have the necessities of the sister country only to provide fur. Those necessities will be large, but not so large as that they cannot be met. "It is true consumption is going on, or perhaps, more properly speaking, has been going on at a most rapid rate. Employment has been general, wages have been good, and while this is the case the English artisan will never pinch his stomach. But with a continuance of high prices it is more than probable we shall have by and bye a depression in trade; employment will not be so general; lower wages will perhaps have to be sub mitted to; the labouring population, unable to purchase so largely, will begin to economise, and prices, as a necessary consequence, must decline. All this of course on the assumption that we are not likely to experience actual want. If we add to these di-posing causes a tightness in the money market (and we see every reason to apprehend it) we shall have abundant arguments against the advance of prices to a famine figure. "But, it will be said, whence are we to receive the necessary supplies, seeing that we have France and Belgium competing with us in those markets to:which we generally look for aid ? We answer, English gold and the enterprise of English merchants will ever command the markets referred to, and will therefore ensure supplies to the extent of their producing ability. As regards one market especially, America, while we place little faith in the exaggerated statistics, which they supply us with, we are disposed to think the res sources of that vast country are somewhat under-rated, and that we shall have far more extensive importations than most persons look for. " Our own late advises represent the grain crops as having been most abundant, and lead us to expect large arrivals. A few months will suffice to test the exporting capabilities of the States, and prove or disprove the allegations which are made. " In the meantime, we re! t satisfied we shall have larger supplies than may be altogether pleasing to our speculators. " Reviewing again the position of matters, taking into account the saving of at l eas t a p ort i on o f the potato crop in this country, regarding the excellence of quality of the wheat crop, and the little consequent waste, re membering the many sources from which we are likely to receive supplies—small, perhaps individually, but ex tensive in the aggregate—remembering above all Ame rica, the cupidity of her people, and the high prices to tempt them to ship even to their own inconvenience, looking to the prospect of a pressure in the money market, and the economisation of food—ever the result of scarcity—we cannot bring ourselves to believe that prices will reach a famine figure. That they will con tinue high we have little doubt. There may be, and there will be, changes and fluctuations in the market, but we shall be much disappointed if there be any con siderable advance on present prices. As for "famine" it is a bugbear, which a few months, we trust, will re move, for be it remembered the scarcity and distress, at present existing in this country, arise, not from want of food, but from want of means to purchase that food." The subjoined announcement also appears in the Examiner. The report to which it alludes has been current in Dublin for several days past : " We have heard it stated, by authority, that Govern ment have sent down orders to have the stock of whisky, malt, &c., taken at the various distilleries of this city. We presume this is with a view to the stoppage of dis tillation from grain in this country, as a measure of pre caution against impending famine. It may be in conse quence of this step taken by Government, that whisky has advanced to 7s. a gallon." LANDLORD AND TENANT. Mr. Evelyn John Shirley, M.P., one of the largest proprietors in the county of Monaghan, has favoured his tenants in that quarter with a " letter of advice," con taining some extremely prudent and discreet suggestions, The following is a copy of the circular:— "TO THE TENANTRY OF THE SHIRLEY ESTATE. "Sept. 15. " My Friends and Tenants,—Application having been made to me by some of you on the subject of the exist ing distress and alarm caused by the failure of the pota toes, I take this method of stating my opinion and advice on the occasion. "It becomes the duty of all classes, under this afflic tion of Divine Providence, to exert themselves to alle viate the distress occasioned by the awful dispensation; the poor, to exert their patience and to calm their fears; the rich, to aid in devising the best plan to secure food for those whose means will soon be exhausted. The Government is ready and willing to assist in the good work; and grants of money arc making, under certain regulations, to enable proprietors and landlords to em ploy those in want of work; and thus all such will have means to provide for their families. The larger tenants must take care of their cottiers, and supply them with money, or meal in lieu of their potat. es: thus, the burden will be divided, and all will bear a share of the general calamity. " Meanwhile, let the tenar.try take advantage of the blessed weather, by increased exertion in securing, threshing, and selling their corn while the market is high, and paying their rent, aiding the landlord to help the distressed. Thanks to a merciful God, the corn is in a good condition, well saved, no wind to shake it out, no wet to injure it; the hot sun we are blessed with must be beneficial to the potatoes. " Let us by cheerfulness and firmness soothe the timid and encourage the active and industrious; remembering that tit's affliction is intended as a trial for our good, and must be borne with resignation to the Divine will. But above all things avoid the counsel of these bad men, who, with their rents in their pockets, delay in paying it, while they endeavour, for their own selfish purposes, to increase the alarm in the minds of the poor and weak. If such should be found in Farney, let them beware; fur, if detected, neither their wealth nor their station shall , secure them from the utmost punishment an injured landlord can ieflict.—l remain, your faithful landlord, " E. J. SHIRLEY." ARMY MOVEMENTS. The 3d (the Buffs) regiment of infantry, under Sir James Dednis, K.C.B , arrived in two divisions—the first yesterday, the second this morning—from England, and took up their quarters in Ship-street and Ald borough- barracks. The Carahieeers will arrive here on the 30th inst., and the 3_leof November. They are to be stationed at Nee bridge and out-quarters. MR. OSBORNE MARKHAM. TO THE EDITOR OF TEE SUN. SIR,--The distant friends of Mr. Osborne Markham must necessarily be deeply shocked by the paragraphs which have appeared in your paper of to-day and yes terday, and I trust that you will have the goodness to relieve their anxiety by stating that the occurrence in the railway carriage took place when fie was in a state of del.riain from approaching brain fever, under which disease he is now labouring. Yesterday he was consi dered by the physician in attendance and myself as in imminent danger, but to-day lam happy to be able to pronounce him decidedly better. His escape from ex ternal injury may be deemed almost miraculous, for, with the excpption of a brokim leg and a few trifling cuts, he h as not materially suffered from his perilous lea van , P—• I have th e h onour to 130, Sir, _your obedi en t ser £7, Brook -street . GEORGE HARRISON. Hanover acimr, , , Oct. 17. DEATH OF SIB,EDWARD PAGE TURNER, BART. We have to announce the demise of Sir Edward Get rge Thomas Page Turner, the fifth Baronet of his line, who expired on Friday last at Tonbridgo Wells, aged fifty - the seven. e was the second son of the third the daughter of Joseph Howell EFq., of Elm, Nor baronet by folk. He was born in 1789, and married in 1 818 the daughter of John Williams, Esq., of Southampton. Ile succeeded bis brother, the fourth baronet, in 1843. The first baronet was second son of John Turner, Esq., a London merchant, who was chosen chairman of the East India Company in 1733. The second baronet assumed the name of Page on succeeding to the estates of his grand uncle, Sir Gregory Page of Wrickle Marsh, Kent. The family estates, which chiefly lie in Bedfordshire, with the title, are succeeded to by Edward Henry, son to the deceased, NUMEROUS TIRES ALARMING FIRE AND PROBABLE LOSS OF LIFE Sunday evening, between the hours of sevut and eight, a tire, attended with very seriou, V not fatal, conse quences, broke out in the private residence of Mr. Thorne, situate at 1, Church-place, St. Mary, Newing ton, within a short distance of the parish church. The disovery was made by some of the inmates, by hearing a loud crackling noise proccedirg from the upper portion of the premises. Cpou getting to the second floor, one of the bed-rooms was found completely enveloped in flame. An instant attempt was made to extinguish the fire by pouring buckets of water upon it. Whilst the parties were so engaged, they were horror-stricken by hearing a sort of half-stifled cry, which, upon inspection, was found to proceed from one of the beds in the rocm; the flames at the same time were mounting most fear fully. A young man, however, at, great risk, rushed forward, and succeeded in rescuing- a fine infant, about four months old, much burnt abotit the head, face, and arms. As soon as the fire was some what subdued, a distressing scene presented itself ; in the farther end of the room was perceived an object moving, which, at first, was imagined to be a cat or dog, but upon getting up to the same it was found to be a child, almost suffocated. It appears that the child, on finding the place was on fire, had managed to crawl out of the bed, and not being able to get out of the room, succeeded in forcing its way to the place where it was found. During the morning of Saturday the metropolis was visited by the outbreak of the following fires : LI3IEHOUSE.—At an early hour, the premises in the occupation cf Mr. W. Joel, known as the Coopers' Arms, in the Old-road, Limehouse, were discovered to be on fire. The police constable on the beat was the person who made the alarming discovery. Having sprung his rattle, he set about awaking its inmates. After consi derable trouble he accomplished his object ; and they at length succeeded in effecting a safe retreat out of the windows. Notwithstandieg that the firemen exerted themselves to the utmost, they were unable to get the flames subdued until the shop was burnt out, the stock in trade, fixtures, and other effects consumed, and the remainder of the premises severely damaged by fire and water. The cause of the disaster c :uld not be learned. CLERRENWELL. — Another fire took place the same morning, upon the premises numbered 38, Red Lion street, Clerkenwell. It commenced in the apartment occupied by Mr. J. Sheppard, newsvender. The whole of the furniture and wearing apparel, with the window glass in the apartment, were destroyed. FIRE IN CHEAPSIDE CAUSED BY A BAT.—Between the hours of eight and nine on Saturday morning, the resi dents of Cheapside perceived smoke issuing from the premises of Mr. Joseph Baker, tobacconist, situate opposite Bow Church. Feeling convinced that a fire was burning within, intelligence was sent to the Watling-street engine station. In the course of a few minutes Mr. Superintendent Braidwood and three engines arrived. Upon breaking open the front door it was proved that about 5,000 fu:eei had become ignited, and there is little doubt if the discovery had not been so opportunely made, that the whole of the premises would have been consumed. As it was the fire was speedily extinguished, the damage not being very con siderable. After the fire was got out, an examination was made to find out the cause, when it was found that a rat had worked its way from the bottom of the flooring, and had got amongst the fusees, when in nibbling them the friction had caused them to explode, and hence the disaster. CURIOUS HOAX FACULTY AT FAULT.— Last week, the utmost excitement was created at Strat fcrd-le-Bow, by the trick of a wag well known for his successful practical jokes in that vicinity. Before the formation of railroads, Stratford was a pace famous for fattening geese, the tongues of which are considered a great delicacy by those who have tried them as a culi nary article. To the extent of about three inches to wards the point, the tongue of the goose has a most perfect resemblance to the finger of a delicate human hand, with a nail most beautifully marked and defined. Our wag, observing this, by a little paring and dressing, took two tongues of an unequal siz a which he folded up in a paper, and dropped in a cheesemonger's shop, where they were shortly afterwards discover( d, and in formation was given to the police, that two human fingers, apparently belonging to a young woman not accustomed to labour, and about 15 or 16 years old, had been found under circumstances of strong suspicion. Almost all the medical men between Stratford and Bow being consulted on the subject, decided that the tongues were the fingers of a young woman, and information to that effect being conveyed to the head office, the police were employed to unravel the mystery. Inquiries were made at the various railway stations in the neighbour hood, and also at a large silk factory in the vicinity of Stratford, to ascertain whether any recent accident had occurred which could lead to a conclusion as to the mutilated members, but no information could be had. At length, one of the constables questioned a postman on the subject, and exhibited the supposed human mem bers, when the latter instantly pronounced them to be nothing but the tongues of geese. The constable was incredulous, but on seeing another veritable specimen produced he became a believer. At first, the force were much offended at having their ingenuity and activity put to such a ridiculous test, but on remembering that the doctors, who should be the best judges of the matt er , were all at fault, they joined in the laugh which the joke occasioned. The proprietor of the King's Arms was the greatest gainer by the jest, as thousands flocked to his house to see the "mutilated members." SAUTE AUSTRALIA.—We have the pleasure of an nouncing the arrival at Swansea of a second cargo of copper ore from this important colony. The Malcolm arrived here this week from Port Adelaide, laden with a fall cargo of rich ore, consigned to Mr. Francis. We anticipate an increasing trade in that branch, as several large vessels have been recently chartered at the colony direct for this port.--Cambria. INCENDIARY FIRE.—DOVER, OCT. IL—Last night intelligence reached the town that an extensive fire had broken out, at six o'clock that evening, in the farmstead of Mr. William Nethersole ' farmer, at West street, a village, situated three m il es from the town of Sandwich, and seven from Dover. The fire is said to have broken out in a barn, and in little more than a quarter of an hour to have communicated itself to three other barns, three outhouses, and some stacks, all of which were totally consumed. Fortunately, its ravages stopped, as the dwelling-house, stables, and several other buildings, were in close proximity to the burning pro perty. Three fire-engines were dispatched to the spot from Sandwich, but could not prevent the property which had become ignited from totally falling a prey to the devouring element. The conflagration presented an imposing spectacle, and its reflection in the heavens was distinctly discernible at Dover up to a late hour last night. Mr. Nethersole is reported to be insured to the full. FLOODS IN TUE NEIGHIZOURIIOCD OF TUE iIIRTRO.. roam—The very heavy rain; of the last few days, par ticularly the almost incessant deluge which commenced at a late hour on Saturday night, and continued with unabated force till past mid-day on Sunday, have laid the meadows near the Lea deep under water, and have- con verted that river into a mischievous brawler. In the vicinity of Waltham, where legendary lure has immor talised it in connexion with the heroic times of our his tory, its turbulent manifestations on Sunday afternoon bespoke for it something of the olden Danish spirit of turbulence and invasion. Here the various channels which tradition has assigned as the handiwork of our great Alfred, were swollen to complete overflow, and the water rushed down with the force of a mountain torrent. The road at Waltham Holy Cross, which several times passes across these channels, was in some parts flooded. All along the stream the meadows, particularly in the lower parts, bear evidence of the vast amount of rain which has lately fallen. ConSiderable apprehension was at one time entertained for the flocks pasturing there, but it is stated that little or no damage has been sus tained in this respect. The Mole, the Wandle, the Comae, the Brent, and other home rivers, have also lost their (Diet pastoral character, and for the "cerulean" aspect have acquired one resembling turbid pea soup. The low grounds adjoining these streams are likewise flooded, INSPECTION - OP THE CHELSEA OUT-PENSIONERS The local companies of the Chatham division of Chelsea out-pensioners were inspected on Saturday morning, the :7th inst. These veterans assembled at the Invalid Depot, St. Mary's Barracks at ten o'clock, and they were formed into six divisions, whence they were marched on to Chatham Lines, where they were drawn up in line, and at eleven o'clock the Commandant of Chatham Garrison, Colonel Sir Thomas Wilshire, K.C.8., accompanied by his major of brigade, Captain John S. Wood, arrived on the ground. After going through various evolutions, the division was marched off to Sc.. Mary's Barracks, when they were dismissed, Captain Jenkins complimenting them for the attention they throughout had paid to their drilling. The strength • of this division is, 4 sergeant-majors, 16 sergeants, 14 corporals, 10 drummers, and 223 privat&s, being an in crease to their strength of 22 since their spring drilling. Sir Thomas Wilshire inspected the stores during the day. The ground, although damp with the rains for the last week, was well attended, to see the novelty of these old soldiers. HYDE - PARK. — Pedestrians across Hyde-park owe the Board of Works gratitude for the formation of several well-gravelled footpaths, which have just been completed. One new path connects the entrance in Pic cadilly with the Victoria-gate; another the Victoria with the Grosvenor-gate; a third, the Hyde-park Terrace gate with ti - :e bridge over the Serpentine. All these were much wanted, as was proved by the footwaws which the public made for themselves; and it is only giving the authorities due praise for their considerateness, thus to record their good deeds. IMPROVED CONDITION OF THE POTATO CROP.— ( A few weeks ago it was the general impression, in Co vent-garden-market, and the other vegetable markets in the metropolis, that before the middle of November a single potato could not be anywhere obtainable. Within the last eight or ten days a change has taken place in the opinions of the pot-Ate-dealers in London, arid they now admit that though the price of that es culent may not be much lower than it is at present, yet that the metropolitan markets will be liberally supplied with potatoes until the end cf next spring. They have received intelligence from various parts of England, Scotland, and even Ireland, especially from the southern parts of the latter country, to the effect that large fields in which the potatoes were looked on as totally de stroyed, have unexpectedly and agreeably turned out, on proceeding to dig them up, to be in a sound and healthy condition, in the proportion of from fifty to seventy per cent. Not only, therefore, have all apprehensions in reference to seed vanished, but, as just remarked, this part of the food of the lower classes will continue to be liberally supplied for months to come without any in crease on the present prices. BEDFORD AND BLETCHLET BRANCH OF THE LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.—The Di rectors hadimade arrangements for opening line this - yes terday, but in consequen ce o f t h e late heavy storms they have been compelled to p ostpone d oing so for a week. - SHOCKING MANSLAUGHTER. It is with the utmost regret that we have to record the occurrence of another death from that brutal and sanguinary mode of lighting for w hich th s county is so notorious, in the case of a yount , labourer, named John Boyle, residing at Stretford, who expired at the Royal Infirmary on Saturday last, from tee dreadful injuries inflicted on him by kicking, or " purring." The case is rendered more deplorable from the fact of its having originated in " a lark," aad the appa rent probability that no such fearfull result was con templated. On Al cnday, Mr. Chapman, the borough coroner, held an ingurst on the bony, when the follow ing was the account elicited from those present at the time of the fatal occurrence:—Deceased, Dennis Lowe, Heaton Brown, znd other farm servants of Air. Tho mas Warburton, farmer, of Stretford. were getting no t Aces in a field, about half-past five o'clock on Monday evening, the sth instant, when they began to throw po tates at eabh other in play, and one of them hit de c.2ased. Deceased became very angry, and gathering up a large piece of soil, said, " The next person that throws at me I'll throw this at him, choose who it ii." He hr.d no sooner resumed his work than he was again hit with a potato, when, suspecting Brown had thrown it, deceased aimed a piece of soil at him. Brown then threw at deceased, who slipped and fell down over the soil, when enraged at having missed his aim, Brown ran at him, and kicked him as he lay. The kick, a most terrific one, was inflicted on the most tender part of his body, Brown swearing at the t7me he would punch his b— eyes out." Deceased then got up, and said to Brown, " Thou hast done for me," in forming him at the same time he felt blood running from his body. This Brown denied, and offered to - bet a shilling it was not so, but deceased replied that was no proper place, and he would show him when they got home. Deceased then resumed work, and continued at it a few moments, when leaving-off time (6 o'clock) ar rived, and the parties went home. A surgeon was sent for, but deceased continuing to get worse, was next day conveyed to the Infirmary. Here he continued to get worse, mortification ensuing, and on Saturday he died in a most dreadful stive of suffering. Brown wore a strumg pair of excavator's boots, with steel tips on the toes, and is described by the witnesses as having taken a furious running kick at his victim. Since the fatal occurrence, Brown has been unceasing in his attention to the de ceased, and has manifested deep regret at the fatal con sequence. The jury returned a verdict of " Manslaugh ter" against him, and he has since been brought before Mr. Trafford, at the New Bailey, and committed to the assizes.—Manchester Examiner. We see by the French journals that Mr. Lumley engaged Carlotta Grisi, soon after her return from Ire land, for the three years next ensuing. STOPPAGE OF TIIOROUGHFARES.-011 Saturday the Westminster commissioners of sewers stopped the following thoroughfares for the formation of new ones : Bloomsbury -street, Denmark-street ; all that part cf Holborn between Oxford-street and St. Giles's Church, St. James's-place, and St. James's street. IMPROVEMENTS IN TOWER WARD.—On Saturday a copy of a letter from the Duke of Wellington to the Alderman, Common Council, and inhabitants of the ward, respecting the proposed new street through it, in answer to their memorial, was exhibited triumphantly in several of the tradesmen's windows, the Duke having expressed himself favourable to the widening of Great Tower-street in preference to a new street. FOREIGN CATTLE.—A sailing-vessel is arrived in the London Docks from Ham berg, with, in addition to a cargo of speller, 40 head of horned cattle. This ar rival presents two distinct features of novelty, it being the first importation into the port of London of live cattle in a sailing-pocket from this distant Hanseatic port, and the first time also, we believe, that a vessel has entered any of the dock establishments having a con signment of live horned stock on board. THE LATE FIRE IN SOUTEWARK.—On Saturday afternoon John Cantill, who received such fearful in juries at the fire on the 9th inst, in Kent -street, St. George's, Southwark, expired in the accident ward of Guy's Hospital. The girl Emma Sharp also lies in a state which leaves no hopes of her recovery. FATAL OCCURRENCE ON THE RIVER.—On Sunday afternoon a party of children were proceeding up the river in a small pleasure boat, in the charge of a water ' man, when a lad fell overboard whilst attempti n g t o reac h some article out of the river. Every exertion was made to save the poor little fellow, but without the slightest success. The occurrence happened a t hurt distance abou Wr stminster-bridge. NOVEL CASE.—On Monday one of the debtors in our gaol died, and the gaoler has been placed in an awkward position ns to what he shall do with the body, it being the opinion of some of the most eminent legal men here, that if the gaoler delivers up the body, he will be answerable for the debt. Cases have been cited where the debt had to be collected before the body could be buried; but whether in this case they think, the poor fellow having paid the debt- of nature is to get off free without paying his creditors, is likely to furnish em ployment for clever men to decide the case.—Norwich Advertiser. INTERMENT IN Towtss.—The Registrar-General's last report informs us that the mortality in the metro polis is higher than that in the country, being in the proportion of 2,294 to 2,209 per cent., a clear proof that there are some causes in operation to shorten the lives of the inhabitants of large towns. What those causes are it is the duty of the Legislature to discover, and, if po;sible, to remedy ; and one of them is so plainly in dicated by Mr. Chadwick, in his supplementary report on the practice of interment in towns, that we consi eider it quite unnecessary to reargue this part of the question. Those who contend that the practice is not in jurious to health are taking up a view contrary to fact and reasoning, and contrary to the principles upon which they proceed to legislate in other cases. Other argu ments have been adduced in favour of a change in the practice, and among these we may select that which is based on the indecency of the practice. We know, on good authority, that in a certain London grave yard, in which the soil is rank with the decomposed remains of the dead, the charge for interment is re gulated by the depth—a practice, we believe, quite com mon in the metropolis, A person is informed that, by the payment of a high fee, a coffin will not have to be re moved from the grave in order to allow another coffin to be placed beneath it. The low fee leads not merely to this act of desecration, perpetrated as it must bounder the eyes of those who ought to be most earnest in checking it, but probably to the entire removal of the body, the selling of the coffin and the funeral ornaments, with the destruction by fire, or in other ways, of the last remains of the dead ; and so nicely are the fees adjusted, that the earth piled at the side of the grave is calculated in the measurement as part of the depth, whence it happens that even when the remains are left undisturbed, they become a source of putrescent exhalations to the inhabitants of the neighbourhood. Many flagrant instances of the desecration of the re mains of the dead have been recently made public, and we are coolly told, in reference to these abomina tions, that when they have once taken p'ace the parties may be punished by indictment ! No consideration ap pears to be given to the prevention of such indecencies by removing the causes—i. e., by shutting up and entirely prohibiting interments in graveyards, whether private or parochial, already overcrowded ; but these gross of_ fences are to take the chance of exposure, to lead to the expense of a parish prosecution, and the risk of a compromise or of an acquittal upon some trickery or technicality in the law p r o cee di ngs . With th e existence of a proved public evil, a certain in jury to public health, and the fact that the pre sent practice must in time cease of itself, it is scarcely necessary to examine the arguments which have been adduced for the continuance of this vile practice. There must be a limit to the elevation of graveyards above the street, and to the enlargement of vaults in churches, unless some secret and inexpmsire method is taken, by those who profit under the preterit system, to get rid of the surplus bodies. The annual interments are now much about the same as if the whole population of Leices ter were brought to be buried in London. Decay cannot proceed fast enough, and it will require more frequent holocausts, or more frequent contracts with dust contrac tors to cart away as rubbish human remains, in order to make room for the increasing deaths in a rapidly in creasing population. Legislation may be protracted, but sooner or Inter a measure will be forced upon the Legislature either for providing cernetriei out of towns and cities, or fur preventing that secret and extensive desecration of the graves which in some measure tends to postpone the necessity for• immediate interference.— Medical Times. BLOODY AFFAIR.—A CANAI BOAT CAPTAIN CUT TO PIECES 'WITH A BoWIE KNIFE.—On Saturday evening last a most bloody affair occurred at Stoy's Landing., in New Jersey, six or seven miles from Cam den, between Captain Washington B. Swain, of a lime boa', and a negro man living in the neighbourhood. The altercation commenced between them on seine trifling subject, when the negro suddenly drew a Bowie and cut and carved his antagonist in a most shocking manner. Several punctures were made, one of which entered the abdomen just above the hip, ar.d some thirty incisions on the face, neck, and back. One of the cuts is entirely through the lower lip and chin to the bone. One on the side of the neck, four inches long, separates the jugular vein, and one on the back of the neck, five inches long, is entirely through the muscle. One on the chest is five inches long, and one on the back, from the shoulders to the hips, twenty-five inches long. Nine are ten inches in length, many of them running through the skin, flesh, and entire integuments. Notwithstanding this horrid cutting and butchery the captain walked to the dwell. ing of Mr. Phillip Stay, about 150 yards distant. Dr. C. D. Hendry, at Haddonfield, was sent for, who, with the aid of one of his students, Mr. D. M. Stout, thessed his wounds, seventeen of which it was found necessary to stitch up. Though the doctor found his patient sinking and insensible from the great loss of blood, he left him about ten o'clock with some symptoms of reaction. Two men were present at the time of this bloody outrage, and stood paralised with fear, unable to afford the defenceless victim of the armed Legro the slightest aid, and permitted the scoundrel to make his escape. The neighbourhood, however, soon became aroused. and a vigilant search was set on foot to ferret out the offend( r. Captain Swain, we learn, resides at Norristown, where he has a wife and child. He was still alive yesterday, at three o'clock, though little hope was entertained of his recovery.—Philadelphia Paper. LIE PRICE or , GRAIN. — We feel more regret than surprise at,finding that the price of wheat continues to advance in all the principal markets. The weekly average for the kingdom, which was made up on Thurs day last, is 561. 10d. per quarter ; and we find that the Wakefield average for this week, which will enter the general average of next Thursday, and is usually about the same in amount as that for the whole kingdom, is no less than 595. 31d. per quarter. Since the sales were made on which that return is founded, prices have been further advanced about 2s. per quarter ; so that the ave rage price of the whole kingdom is now certainly above 60s. per quarter.—Manchester Guardian. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANS I ON-HO USE. Joseph Chambers W 46 brought before Alderman Fere brother, charged with haring committed a robbery in the house of Mr. Isaacs, merchant, in whose service he was engaged as errand boy. Mrs. Barrow, sister-in-law to Mr. Isaacs, in whose house she resided, stated, that she had left her gold watch, gold chain, and two gold rings, which were worth 131. or 20/., upon the first-floor. Tne prisoner went out on Tuesday, and did not return, and after his departure the property was missed. The witness met the prisoner en oaturday evening near the Surrey Theatre, and placed him in the custody of a policeman. Without receiving any promise of pardon, the lad acknowledged the MO meat he saw the witness that he had robbed her, and he said be had pledged the goods at the shops of different pawnbrokers. The policeman complained to the Alderman that he had found amongst seine of the piwnbrskers disinclina tion to give him the usual facilities. The prisoner was remanded till Wednesday, and Alderman FAREBROTHER directed that the pawnbrokers complained against for incivility should be denied the usual expenses paid after trial. Emma Neal, a person who was recognised by the police as an old rogue in the habit of watching and rob bing children sent after errands, was accused of having stolen a saucer aid three-pence halfpenny from three very young children. The prisoner was seen by a person, who suspected her honesty, to follow the children, who were going to pur chase butter. She went up to one of them—a boy about four years and a half old—and, giving him a halfpenny, took from him the saucer and halfpence, telling him to go on, and she would follow bins with the butter. The child ran on exulting, and witness observing that the prisoner passed the butter shop and was getting away, took her into custody. The prisoner declared that she bad no dishonest inten tion, but that, thinking such young persons ought not to entrusted with money, she was acting the part of a mother to them in taking care of the money, with which she was about to purchase the butter, but, by the merest accident, she passed the shop. Alderman FAREBROTHER—Prisoner, you are an old hand at robbing children. The prisoner never thought of so mean and vile a thing. " What, me rob a mere baby?—not a bit of it." Alderman FAREBROTUER—I'II make you sick of it. Yon must go to Bridewell for three months. Patrick Leary, a young fellow who came over from Ireland in the hopping season, was charged with having broken two windows in the house of Mr. Jopp, the re lieving officer of the City union. Mr. Lloyd, assistant relieving officer, stated that, about two o'clock on Saturday last, the defendant ap plied for relief, and witness requested that he would wait his turn. While witness was writing down his name he went out and deliberately broke two panes of glass with a stoue. Alderman FAREBROTIIER—Prisoner, why did you break the window, when the officer was complying with your request ? Leary—Why, I was in a hurry to get back to my own country, and they didn't seem to care a pin about it, and I thought the best way to talk to him was with a paving -stone in my hand. I want to go off to Ireland at once. Alderman PAREBROTHER said the union had no longer the power to grant passes. That authority lay with the parishes, and as the Irish who came over to hop were in the habit of sending back their profits, and then return ing upon charity, the parish officers thought it necessary to exercise caution. The fine upon the prisoner was four shillings. The prisoner —I have no money to give away. Alderman FAREBROTIIER—Then you must go to Bridewell for fourteen days, and that judgment includes scanty allowance of food. GUILDHALL. Sir PETER LAURIE, on taking hie seat on the bench this morning, requested that the press would give pub licity to a short statement which he wished to make re specting the continued operations of the " notorious Joseph Ady." His only object in calling the attention of the press to the matter was to put unwary people on their guard. He hoped the press would assist the ma gistrates by giving the widest publicity to the following statements : " 1. That Joseph Ady was convicted at the February Sessions, 1835, of the Central Criminal Court, of obtain ing from the Rev. Francis Tebbutt, twenty shillings, under pretence of " informing him of something con siderable to his advantage," and sentenced to be trans ported for seven - years, which sentence was commuted to imprisonment in the City House of Correction for twelve months. "2. That in consequence of Joseph Ady referring to several Alderman of London for his character and re sponsibility, the Court of Aldermen, on the 7th of Mae, 1833, ordered the following advertisement to be pub lished in all the morning and evening papers for a con siderable period:— " CAUTlON.—Whereas it bath been represented to this Court, that a person calling himself Joseph Ady hath for some time past been in the practice of sending letters to various persons in all parts of the kingdom, stating himself to be in the possession cf information for their pecuniary advantage, and offering to afford the same on payment to him of twenty shillings, and in some instances of five shillings ; and referring falsely in such letters for his character, integrity, and respon sibility, to Sir William Hoygate, Baronet, William Taylor Copeland, Esq., and other members of the Court of Aldermen ; and to Mr. Francis Hobler, the Chief Clerk at the Mansion House, without having any autho rity for such references; and also falsely adding to some of the said letters that the said William Taylor Cope land, Eq., would be security for hini to the amount of one thousand pounds. This Court do hereby caution the public against paying any attention to such references, relative either to the character, integrity, or responsi bility of the said Joseph Ady. (Signed) " WOODTHORPE." Ire (Sir Peter Laurie) thought that it would be very useful to let the public see the formula of the circulars, which are no e* current from Joseph Ady's bureau, and of which he (the Alderman) received two or three every morning. The following was addressed to Mr. Arbuth not, Cutters Mills, Aberdeen : "The undersigned is able to inform you of something to your advantage, value of 100/. and upwards, long overlooked, on receipt of 205., by Post-office order on Whitechapel, as an equivalent for his trouble and costs generally.—Respectfully, " JOSEPH ADY, Accountant, "No. 5, York-street, Charlotte -street, quarter-mile east of Whitechapel Church, London, " Personally known to each of the Aldermen of Lon don, haying been a freeman and housekeeper fifty years. "Oct. 12, 1846. , o e r e should you find any difficulty in getti ng th e money , the Right 0 PeterLaurie, way Deputy ln Lord Mayor, will frank y ou from all expenses, except mustpay both expressed his sur p r i se thateprconclusion,asney n P°s persons representations, as many undoubt e dl y must do, to enable him to keep up the game. He was a' so surpr i se d t h at et portages, e s thew whichu r Alderman lide youmSiar n ould be so f oo li sh as to listen to Ady's r any one would take in his letters, ae they were all un paid. For his part, he (sir Peter) would be obliged to the press for their assistance in giving hi s remarks pub licity. E W E ho r. gave his name as BOW-A: I Z A well-dressed young Charles Shebbiere, waslbrought before Mr. Hall upon the following charge, preferred by one of the beadles of the Lowther Arcade. The complainant said that at about half-past ten o'clock on Saturday night the prisoner, who was passing through the Arcade, caught hold of a young 'woman, who screamed out for help, and struggled to escape from him. Witness was about to go to her assistance, but she succeeded in getting away before he came up to the spot where it occurred. He rebuked the prisoner for his misconduct, and warned him not to re peat it, but the prisoner said he would do just as be pleased. He took off his coat to fight, and made several blows at witness, and the other beadle coming up took the prisoner in charge. The statement was corroborated by Mr. Sampson, a shopkeeper in the Arcade. The prisoner said he was drunk at the time. Mr. HALL fined the prisoner 405., or in default, sen tenced him to 21 days' imprisonment. MARLBOROUGH -STREET. Morgan Bryant, a stalwart Irish labourer, a navie, was charged yesterday morning, before Mr. Hardwick, as being one of the ringleaders in a squad of twenty, who made a serious assault on the police. Police -constable C 6G said he was led by hearing a riotous noise, a little after twelve on Saturday night, to go to the corner of Duke-street, at the top of Robert street, where he found the prisoner and some twenty more quarreling in front of Diplock's public-house ; Constable 56 of the C division was stretched insensible on the pavement in the midst of them, and the prisoner was beating him at the time. When he had seized the defendant, several of, his companions struek at him, dealing several severe blows about the head, which knocked him down. He still kept a firm hold of the - prisoner, however, w ho u p on th a t struck him, an d struggled to get away ; and some four others, with their heavy hobnailed boots, kicked him in athnedrriebfsusaisnhgetolap-,aytilflotr the r they had kicked a hole in his great coat, and all hi s l eft side was as bl ac k as his hat. q Police-con s t a bl e 56 C said the p r i s oner and his com panions h a d b een put out of the pu bli c -house for rioting q ii u g o h r t in which the they stre e ta d ly h h a e d i and then be gan to quarrel and t he went t o part t he m he received a h eav y blow on the ro. a n z s i t c t. r ) c e said,visit visited that temple from one of them, which knocked him down and rendered him insensible. The prisoner denied the charge. the police caonndducchtetc7eadrdins time, otherwise they should have to double the force. He sentenced the prisoner to one month's imprisonment, and hard labour in the House of Correction, on each of the two assaults, the punishments to be borne succes sively. The first complainant was also granted a war istuhesilevberruitt;l, rant against the others who were engaged in the assault, SOUTHWARK 71omas Murray, a tall, powerful - looking man , was eharged bef ore M r. Seeker with assaulting and biting off the greater portion of one of the fingers of a Mrs. Randall, l the wif e o f t h e master o f a coasting vessel. The complainant, who had ono of her arms in a sling, stated that at a late hour the pre ceding night, as she and her husband were passing a bottle in Windmill - street, they heard a g reat noise and screams of murder. Her husband immediately went into the house, and on seeing the prisoner attacking two women, he imme diatel y inter fered for their prote ction w h e n he was assailed by the Insoner, who, b e i ng a very ' powerful man , got him down on the floor. The complainant finding that her husband had no chance in a struggle with such an adv ersar y , pro ceeded to his ass i stance and in attempting to extricate him from the g ras p o f hi s ass ailant, the latter got one of her fingers into his mouth, and actually bit a portion of it off. By this time the police came to the spot , and • after some difficulty secured the prisoner, and took him off to the station-house.: In the course of the investigation it was ascertained 1 that the prisoner had entered the house in the first in stance with a female, and insisted on remaining there. The landlady, however, insisted on his quitting, and in attempting to enforce it was struck by the prisoner, and her cries for help having attracted the attention of the complainant and her husband, they went to the land lady's assistance, when they were treated in the brutal manner above described. The defendant said that he was attacked by the par ties, and in defending himself he was compelled to resort to violence, but was not aware that during the affray he had bitten the complainant's finger. The complainant having expressed a wish that the charge might be summarily disposed of, the Magistrate inflicted a penalty of 40s. on the defendant, and in de fault of payment he was committed to gaol for 21 days. WORSHIP-STREET W imam Whitton, twenty years of age, describing him self as a gasman, was charged 'on suspicion of being accessory to the death of his wife, Ellen Whitton, under the folio ding circumstances:— Edward Allen, a carpenter, of No. 8, Maidstone street, Hackney, deposed that about one o'clock of Sunday morning he was proceeding towards the Canal-bridge, near Prichard's-row, Hackney, on his way homewards, when he heard in that direction some persons quarrel ing He hastened towards the spot, and upon arriving at, and looking over the parapet of the said bridge, he observed the prisoner and a female standing upon the towing-path, and distinctly heard the latter use the words, "Sooner than put up with what you have thought proper to call me, I will drown myself," and immediately aftershe threw herself into the water. Witness ran round, and observing the prisoner making off, he said to him, catching hold of him by the collar, "You vagabond, what, are you n going to assist the woman out ?" Prisoner then said, " I'll give you 2s. to do so; you know me, don't you?" Witness replied, " I don't know anything at all of you whatever." Deceased bad by this time sunk. He (witness) called lustily for assistance, still holding the prisoner, who made great efforts to escape. Deceased was in about ten minutes got out with the drags, and the prisoner was given into the custcdy of the police. Deceased was conveyed to the door of the Sir Walter Scott public house, but could not obtain admittance there. Police-constable 165 N, said that at about ten minutes past one o'clock oh Sunday morning he was on duty near the above bridge, when he heard cries of " Police," and with a brother officer hastened to the place whence the noise proceeded, and on arriving thereat he took charge of the prisoner, whilst his brother officer fetched Mr. Morgan, a surgeon, who did all he could to restore sus pended animation without avail. We could not gain ad mittance, and Mr. Morgan .expressed his opinion that if that could have been accomplished the deceased might have been restored. Deceased was afterwards conveyed to the station- house. Witness had made inquiries about the prisoner's character, which he found to be very indifferent, as, although he had been married only three weeks, he had, during that period, been cor responding with another female as a single man. • Mr. BROUGHTON, in strong langua g e, deprecated the conduct of the prisoner, and remanded him for a week, to give time for further inquiries respecting him; and gave directions that the behaviour of the parties of the "Sir Walter Scott' should be properly represented to the licensing justices. DREADFUL MURDER. • The following melancholy narrative of the murder of John Baptist Epaille, Bishop of Sion Vicar Apostolic of Milanesie and Muronisie, at the Isle of Ysable, is taken from the Sidney journals, communicated by Cap tain Richards of the schooner Maria Watson, from. Astrolabe harbour, December, 1845:—" On the morning that the melancholy circumstance oocurred, his Lord ship, accompanied by the Rev. Mr. Fremont, the Rev. Mr. Chauraine and two lay brothers, put off from the vessel in the boat, with the second mate and four seamen, in order to find a place to form a settl emen t ; they had been five days making excursions for the same purpose. When the boat left the vessel, the second mate inquired of his Lordship, to which place they should go, and was directed to proceed to the " Un friendly Tribe," a name which the inhabitants of that part of Ysable bad got on board the vessel from all the natives who had previously visited them. A missionary had told them that if they went there they would be killed; bnt, in consequence of the different tribes being at war with each other, little attention was paid to his statement. As the party approached the beach they ob served a number of objects on the island, apparently motionless, and scarcely distinguishable from the ground; they at length observed a convenient and proper place for landing, and as they approached the shore spme of the party said the objects they saw were pcsts, and others said they were not men, but gray stones. As the boat came neater to the shore they observed a body of about 00 natives, some of whom left the beach and went into the bush, apparently afraid. Signs were made to them not to be afraid, and an old man with'long white hair, in a state of trepidation, went alongside, and examined the boat very minutely, no doubt to ascertain whether there were any arms in it. He had two mangroves in his hand which he gave to the second mate, who presented him in return with a piece of iron. The party then left the boat, two seamen remaining with it, and the natives attempted to pull it to the beach. Contrary to their usual custom, the seamen were unarmed, saying they were ashamed to go armed while the Bishop and the priests were unarmed. Ili: Lordship, with the Rev. Mr. Chauraine, one lay brother, and a seaman, walked on one side ; the R. Mr. Fre.. mont, the other lay brother, the second mate, and the other seaman, on the other side. :Mr. Fremont, by signs, asked the natives where, their houses were, but received no answer ; he then asked, who was their chief, when a great number of them, proudly lifting up their heads, intimated that they were chiefs. One of the lay brothers, by signs, intimated to one of them ,hat the club he held in his hand was' a very fine one, to which he in the same manner haughtily an swered, that it was. A boy, apparently about thirteen years old, observed the ring on the bishop's finger, and offered him two mangroves for it ; his Lordship merely smiled, and the seamen observed that they set a great value upon those mangroves. One of the lay brothers saw an axe in the hands of one of the natives, which he pointed out to Mr. Chauraine, who said that he had also seen one. These axes were not on the short handles they usually are, but had handles four or five feet long, and the axes themselves were very bright. Mr. Chauraine directed his Lordship's attention to the circumstance, and said the natives appeared ready to attack them. He said that was true, and asked if the sailors were armed. He then began to return towards twothe b s o t e a p t b s w u h t e i n t twhaes native to la e t n e ni , ahe had e s behind nd ca h w r i c t e h l y taken a oaxe, which he raised with both hands, and struck the Bishop a violent blow on the head. .His Lordship raised both his hands to his head and cried out. All the natives then yelled, and attacked each of the party individually. The whites were separated, and could not help each other . ; the only thing they could do was to try to reach the boat ; on their flight thither, Mr. Fremont received two . cuts on the head, and the second mate one; Mr. Chauraine received a blow on the head, and another on the leg, but no'; severe. A pistol was fired from the boat, and all the natives, except three, ran off to the bush. These three were trying to strip the Bishop of his clothes, when Mr. Chauraine seized a cutlass and ran to protect his Lordship; as he laid his hand upon him a musket was fired, and the natives ran off yelling. Mr. Chauraine carried the body sonic dis tance; but, being unable to carry it far, he called for assistance, but to no purpose; he called again, when Mr. Fremont, wad one of the lay brothers, went to his assistance and carried the Bishop to the boat, the natives shouting fiercely, and screaming all the time. His Loidship was insensible and bleeding profusely from wounds ; when he was washed and his head shaved, four large wounds, each three inches in length were disco vered. His Lordship lived for three days add a half , during th e w h o l e of which time he remained insensible, and departed this life at about a quarter to one o'clock on trhothpelareee mains fi of ai t iht e h da O Bishop ." were the 2 interred f close Dce t l o h' marked on the French charts " Debarcadare," the outer point of Astrolabe harbour, and the highest peak near Cape Priet.., on the same island.

A wall-known inhabitant of Taunton, named Thomas Cross, thirty years of age, came by his death on the night of Monday last in a somewhat mysterious manner. The particulars are as fellow :—For some time past, the deceased, a ho was a stone-mason, had been working in connexion with his father and a younger brother, who were also masons, in the erection of a !midge at Halbertnn. On leaving work on Monday night, the father and brother repaired to their lodgings, a short distance from their work, after having received a pro mise from deceased that he would follow them imme diately afterwards. A considerable time having elapsed and the deceased not appearing, the father returned in pursuit of him, when he found him at an inn near the bridge, and he again reached his lodgings without him. Shortly afterwards a man with whom deceased had been working, named Joseph Bailey, was proceeding to the house of deceased's father, where he also lodged, when he was attacked by three men, who severely kicked and beat him, so as to render him almost insensible, at the same time uttering the mest blasphemous imprecations on the next person they should meet with. ft is sup posed that about this time, it being then between eleven and twelve o'clock at night, the deceased came up, as he was seen on the road shortly before, and either that hearing the threatenings of the villains who were but a short distance from him, he took shelter under the Taunton and Tiverton canal bridge, and thus fell into the river, or else he was brutally murdered and thrown into the river, although the latter rumour is generally supposed to be correct. The deceased not arriving at his lodgirigs for the night, early on Tuesday morning his mate, Joseph Bailey, and James Sheppard went in search of him, when, after an hour's search, they found him in the canal. On examination several severe bruises and wounds were discovered about the head, especially under the ears. An inquest was held on Wednesday in Halborton, before Leigh, Esq., coroner ; when Mr. Quick, sur geon, of Tiverton, attended and examined the body, but from not having made a post mortem examinati on , could not state the direct c ause o f d eath, and no evidence' being adduced to implicate any particular parties, a verdict of " Found drowned" was recorded. It has since been ascertained that three men have left their employ at Halberton under rather suspicious cir cumstances ; this, coupled with a report that a cry of murder was heard near t h e bridge about the time the deceased was passing it, together with the bruises about the head, makes it generally believed in the neighbour hood where the melancholy circumstance occurred, that the deceased came by his death by foul means.--Somerset County Herald. MARKET NE WS-(YESTERDAY.) COETT-ECELA. ish \V N E. Full average suppl X ies of Engl lieut came to hand for our market last week, while those of Barley, Beans, and flour were on the increase, but by no means larger, the time of ye a r considered. Fro m I re l an d an d Scotland scarcely any grain came to hand, while the imports of all articles of foreign and colonial produce were very small. Fresh 'up a full average quantity of Wheat came to hand from Essex, but from Kent and Cambridgshire the receipts were trifling. On the whole the stands were well filled with samples of English Wheat, both red and white; yet, as the attendance of buyers was good, the finest qualities were in fair request, at fully, hut at nothing quotable beyond, the currencies obtained on this day se'nnight ; but all other kinds were a slow sale, arid previous rates wore with difficulty supported. At the elose of business, a clearance bad rot been effected. The quantity of free foreign Wheat on offer was not to say extensive, but fully adequate to meet the wants of the buyers. Fine dry, parcels moved ow steadily, other kinds slowly, at last Monday's currencies. We should say that less business was transacted in this article for some weeks past. Comparatitely speaking, the show of bonded Wheats was very trifling. Holders of all descriptions were firm, and would not sell except at extreme rates of currency. About 1,000 quarters were disposed of, partly on speculation, and partly for export to Holland. The supply of Malt being small for the season, and many of the maltsters extremely short of stock, the Barley trade was brisk, at an advance in the prices of last week of from Is to 2s per quarter, and at which a good clearance was effected. Superfine Malt, ready for delivery, was in good request, at extreme rates. In all other kinds, the supply of which was small, a fair business was doing, at previous quo tations. We had a fair quantity of free Foreign Oats on offer, but that of English, Tri s h, an d S co t c h was tr i fl i ng. The Oat trade was firm, and prices were well supported in every instance. Although the show of Beans was good, the sale ruled firm, at full prices. White Pe as were i n request but other kinds hung on hand. In prices we have no altera tion-to report. Flour, both sack and barrelled, firm, at ex treme quotations.

At the close of the market a clearance was not effected. From the northetti districts we received 2,200 Short-horns; from the western and midland counties, 800 Herefords, Runts, Devons, &c. ; from other parts of England 700 of various breeds. Although the numbers of Sheep were comparatively small, the Mutton trade was by no means so active as on Monday last, yet that day's prices was mostly supported. The num ber of Calves was good, while the Veal trade was heavy, at Friday's reduced figures. Pigs moved off slowly, at late rates.

The melancholy circumstances attending the sudden and premature death of Mr. Lee, the well-known and eminent barrister on the Oxford Circuit, were briefly detailed in TLe Sun last week. An inquest on the body has since been held at the Peacock Inn, Boreston,"bef , re Thomas Weyntan, Eicf., Coroner, when the circuit). stmeces of Mr. Lee's sudden decease were more fully ex• plained, and present features of a yery singular cha racter. As before stated, dinner, and it appears had ated,the deceasedhadbeeno just et shot a shooting after a partridge, which one of his dogs rushed upon when kill e d. On nthis Mr. Lee called out vehemently to the dog, and at that monsen immediately tsometliing became appea ie re sk and dtogiv f e atw With heart, and he considerable difficulty he contrived to craw l to the road side, where he was first observed by Mr. W. Goode, farmer, of Boraston, who was passing by on horseback. Mr. Goode was examined on the inquest, and deposed to finding the deceased sitting by the side of the road with his hands down on each side, apparently supporting him. Witness asked him what was the matter ; to which he replied that he could not stand. Witness offered him the use of his horse, but Mr. Lee could not mount from weakness, and accordingly witness fetched his (Mr. Lee's) servant, who soon arrived with a horse. On being lifted on the horse, however, the deceased could not maintain his seat, and ac cor di ng l y a message was sent to Mr. Lee's house for his carriage, which promptly arrived, bringing Mrs. Lee. The Rev. H. X M•Laughlin arrived on the spot about the same time, and accompanied the deceased and Mrs. Lee home in the carriage. Mr. Davis, surgeon, of Tenbury, arrived shortly after their arrival home. Mr. Davis deposed that he found the deceased in a state of collapse, but perfectly sensible. lle was ex tremely faint, and was only kept alive by the constant application of stimulants. lie was put to bed, and in about half an hour was very sick, and vomited the con tents of his stomach, which contained h;s dinner in an undigested state. There was nothing deleterious in the contents of the stomach. The deceased had had two similar attacks on former occasions, and had frequently complained of pain in the region of the heart, though not very recently. The deceased was extremely cold, notwithstanding the free use of friction and the appli cation of stimulants. Dr. Hastings, of Worcester, was sent for, and arrived at Boraston about one o'clock in the morning, when Mr. Davis left the patient apparently rather better. Witness returned to him at half-past three, when he found him more feeble, and although stimulants were again had recourse to he gradually grew weaker, and died about nine, some is hours after his seizure. Dr. Hastings and Mr. Davis were both in attendance at the time of his death. They did not think there was any rupture at the region of the heart, but were firmly of opinion that death bad resulted from natural causes. The precise cause of death could notsbe ascertained without opening the body, and this step the jury did not think necessary. Accordingly they returned a verdict that the deceased had died a natural death.

ATTEMPT OF A PRIVATE TO STAB AN OFFICER ON CHANGE, AT LIVERPOOL.---Yesterday afternoon the 3d Buffs were paraded on 'Change, prior to the departure of that fine regiment for Ireland ; and we regret to say that a savage attempt was made on the occasion, by a private, to stab one of the officers. It appears that the private was drunk, and that on his arriving late was re primanded by the officer. Suddenly the fellow made a blow at the gentleman with his musket, but fortunately, by stepping back, the blow was avoided. Befor? how ever, any one had time t o i n t er f ere, t h e villain made an attempt to stab the officer with his bayonet, which he fastened on the end of the musket. The blow was parried, and he was placed under arrest and taken across to Dublin with the regiment, where, no doubt, ho will receive the punishment he so richly deserves. We re gret that such an offence should be committed, because the conduct of the regiment while in Liverpool WAs most exemplary.—Liverpool Journal of •-'4,4turday. WORKS by ROBERT J.
