J. E. Daniel, then clergyman of the parish, offered him a wig as a substitute for his loSt hair. Under these circumstances, he was induced to try the effect of ROWLAND'S MAC A SSA rt OIL, and it is highly gratifying to add, with the most happy results. As soon as part of a bottle was •us , l the growth recommenced, and he has new to ho st of a very thick and luxuriant head of hair, which presents this peculiarity, that, though prior to losing his hair it evinced no tendency to curl, the new growth Is curly and strong. This fact speaks too strongly for itself to requ re observation.. —Bell's Messenger.

She heard n o re p ort o f fi re - a rms, but even if she had she should have paid no attention to it, as there was a shooting-gallery at the back. Mr. Ribert Cross, surgeon, of No. 21, Leicester square, said he was immediately called to the deceased. He found a pistol shot wo:ind over the sixth rib, in the region of the heart. The ball had broken the rib, and buried itself in the heart, so that death must have been instanter' , ous. The vest, flannel, and shirt had been opened, and he thought the deceased had pressed the muzzle of tke pistol close to his body. There was another load, d pistol on the table. wiii am Ling, gunmaker, of No. 61, Jermyn•street, said the deceased had resided in his house for the last fortnight, but he had known him for some time before. He was whimsical in his manner. He left home shortly before nine o'clock on Wednesday morning, saying that he should be bank to breakfast. He had held the rank o f major in the 47th Foot, but lately was unattached. Witness could not in any way account for the act the deceased had committed. After some further evidence, the inquest was adjourned, in order that the deceased's friends and relations might be communicated with.

The sphere of action you are now entering upon is more extended, but the duties are unaltered, and the exercise of the same qualities which have here won for you this hon*rable trophy cannot fail to ensure in your future Career the regard of your associates in arms, and the confidence of the Government you serve. I cannot doubt that throughout your service you will fulfil this early pro mise of distinction, and-when you retire from it, may you be attended by honours and regrets such as those which accompany your departure from this institution.

Goddard—Fourth Good Conduct. The report, which was publicly read by T. R. Carice, Esq., chief of the cadet department, spoke •of' the atis factory conduct of the gentlemen ead,ts during the term, and of :Abe remarkable degree of discipline, good drder, and gentlemanly propriety, which had prevailed dOring the whole period. Due praise was bestowed on Mr. Hutchinson, and the other corporal cadets, for their strict yet concilitary mode of performing their duties. At the close of the proceedings Sir JAMES HOGG rose, and addressed the cadita in the following impress sire words:— Young Gentlemen,—lt is one of the most pl4sing duties devolving upOn my colleagues and myself to visit this institution when we are able, as upon the present occasion, to congratulate _ you on the advance ment made in your studies, and to express our high sense of your steady, orderly, and gentlemanly' conduct and demeanour. An unusual number of cadets have been declared fit for the more scientific branches of their profession ; and I am happy that the exigency of the public service has enabled us to receive into these branches all who have proved themselves duly qualified. Eight have been selected for the Engi neers and twelve for the Artillery, being, I believe, the greatest number ever chosen for those services. Thanks to you, my young friends, who have so nobly seconded the efforts of your instructors in producing results so honourable to yourselves and so creditable to this insti tution. I venture to hope that the commendation of those to whom you are indebted for your appointments, and to whom is entrusted the government of that country for which you are destined, will not be' unac ceptable to you; and I trust it is only an earnest of the approbation and distinction that await your future career. You are about to join your families and your homes at the approaching sacred and festive season, and you will do so with the happy consciousness that your conduct has been such as to carry joy to your parents, and to diffuse gladness around the circle ready to wel come you, I am fully aware that your studies here ' are numerous and severe, and that you are as much oc- ' copied as is consistent with that relaxation equ . ally necessary for body and mind. But I entreat of you to, consider how important to your future interests ' in life are ,the t wo years passe d i n this seminary, and how varied are the objects to be attained. You join this institution at an age when you can have acquired little more than the elements of education, and when your general studies must be carried on simul taneously with your professional pursuits. It is no easy matter, in the short space of two years, to acquire a competent knowledge of those branches connected with a military profession, and, at the same time, tO pursue the studies indispensably necessary for the culture of your mind, and taste, and the formation of your cha racter. I believe it to be most injudicious, when ad dressing youths of your age, to underrate the duties YOU are called upon to discharge, and the difficulties with which you h ave t o contend.On the contrary, I broadly admit them, and I call upon you to summon energy and perseverance to overcome them. You have not, I am sure, so mean an estimate of the noble profession for which you are destined as to suppose that mere physical strength and animal courage, combined with a know ledge of the ordinary military manceuvres, would enable you adequately to discharge your duties. I should deem a youth unfit for the British ranks who had such an a s o r l t d i f e o r n . n d T e d h e o n e exercise i p s r e i n o ! f p w i e a a r ntofy science, civilised a n n a d t i w o t s ignoble impression as t o th e c h arac t e r and duti es o f a ho is ut an a competent knowledge of that art no officer can success fully direct the operations of an 'army, or even under.: stand a series of extended and c.a.Mbined movements. In Europe an officer is rarely ',entrusted with Ahe most limited command until he has attained cbm. , iclerable rank in his profession ; not so in India. There our troops are necessarily much detached, and the command often devolves upon a subaltern on occa sions requiring the soundest judgment, and he must not have to require the requisite knowledge at the mo ment when he ought to be exercising it. There is no royal road to knowledge. It can only be attained by long and patient application, and he who will not undergo the toil must not hope to reap the fruits. If the occasion should arrive when an officer has an opportunity of winning honourable distinctions, and an enduring name in the annals of his country, how bitter must be his regret to feel that he is unable to avail himself of it, that he is unequal to the emergency, that the time which should have been devoted to study has been wasted in frivolity, and that to him the path to renown is irrevo-, cably closed ? Most, serious is the responsibility at tached to the exercise of an independent command, how ever limited. An officer thus entrusted is accountable fin the lives of his men, not less than for the accom plishment of the object which he is ordered to effect. Whatever that object be, it must be achieved. The word " impossible" has no place in the soldier's vocabulary, but the duty of achieving it, with the least possible sacrifice of human life , and the least p oss ibl e h uman mind, and thus military skili win b m e u f s o t u b n e d e a y s erborne in an aid t o th e cause of valuable humanity as to the successful prosecution of war. India is the country em inentl y calcula ted to bring into notice suffering, and distinction the officer of judgm en t and talent ; but it is equally calculated to expose the incompetence of the man unequal to the discharge of his duties. There every man is thoroughly kno , vn, and bared to the view of his superiors. The Government, in their selection of individuals, are influenced by no con siderations but those of the public weal. There, politics and family. connexions ar e o f no avail ; an d every man is public corn • advanced a ccor di ng to his potenc e to the discharge . of his duties. You may sometimes hear it alleged, that a particular young officer has been entirely indebted to what is termed good fortune in having an opportunity to distinguish himself. Depend upon it that such observations are always made spirit that s either in ignorance, or in t it of detraction in dulged, in too commonly by the indolent and incompetent towards those of enterprise and talent. It is true, that a man cannot make the occasion, but he may take good care to be in a condition to avail himself of it when it occurs. The highest political, as well as military em ployments, are open to the army; and you are aware there is generally a military officer_ i n t h e suprem e Council of India. With such duties, stich responsibili ties, and such high rewards before you, kliosure I need not stimulate you to a contiuttance of -pair .praiseworthy exertions, eminently to qualify yourselves for the public service, not only by professional acquirements, but by a general acquaintance with science and literature. I urge study as valuable, not only for its own immediate fruits in the acquisition of knowledge, but as a preservative against low and demoralising pursuits. I know not a more wretched being, or one more exposed to perilous temptations, than an Indian officer without any literary tastes or resources. He is frequently liable to be detached where there is not perhaps another European; and you are aware, that when in cantonments, the usual parades and drills are over before seven o'clock during a great portion of the year. How, let me ask you, are you to paSs your time, perhaps eight or ten hours, when exposure to the sun is attended with imminent danger? The young officer find of reading, and with literary tastes,will pass his time in preparing himself for the dutiesof his profession, and in keeping up his classical and scientific knowledge, that he may be enabled to resume his position on his re turn to his native land. I almost dread to place before you the means resorted to by the illiterate sluggard to kill that time that might be so usefully employed. Without resources, he lounges about, seeking some com panion' as vacant and as listless as himself ; sometimes courting slumber that does not soothe, and sleep that does not, refresh ; perhaps injuring his constitution by needless exposure to the sun, and, I fear, too often ruin ing his health and his character by the excitement of gaming and wine. Why do I place before you a picture from which I feel assured your youthful mind will 'shrink with instinctive horror and disgpst? Believe me, it is not that I doubt the purity of your feelings, or theneeral rectitude of your intention. It is because it is my anxious ancrearnest desire to impress you, not only with the adiantages of literary habits and pursuits, but with the frightful perils and dangers to-which idlenes,—that parent of all human ill—must inevitably expose you. Do not suppose that it is my desire to counsel you to live recluse, or to &liar you frord the pleasures of society, or manly amusements and recre itions. No such thing. Indulge in them in all moderation, and they will render you more useful, and perhaps better men. But I be seech you, beware of that listless vacuity of mind which would equally unfit you for duty and true enjoyment, and must render your lives useless to the state and bur densome to yourselves. You who are about.- to pro ceed to India were present when last I had the plea sure of addressing the ,young gentlemen in this semi. nary, and I hope I need not again urge the topics I then more particularly dwelt upon. I need not tell English youth to remember in their future career the sountry which gave them birth, and never, in camp or in field, to discredit it. Courage in action, cool ness in danger, and calm endurance of fatigue and privation, are the characteristics of cur nation. But there are qualities, less showy but not less necessary. which must be cultivated with equal care. The union of firmness with gentleness in command—the exercise promptness and cheerfulness in obedience. RenAmb,e that a soldier's first and paramount duty is obedience— a ready, willing, confiding, and uninquiring obedience. I need not tell you that without, obedience there 4annot be discipline, and without discipline there cannotibe an army. You may assemble; in countl ess multitudis, the' bravest, the hardiest, and the most daring of Mei, but without discipline they cannot form an army. TheY will prove a mere armed rabble, formidable only tolthose whom it is their duty to protect. To those under your command, and subjected to your power, be kind, affable, and considerate. Depend not for your influence on the little brief authority with which you may be clad ; so exercise that authority as to attach to your person the soldiers under your command, and you will find the in dian Sepoy the bravest, the most devoted, the most grateful of followers. I know not a more interesting spectacle, or one more creditable to the British power in the East, than a well-regulated Sepoy regiment. It unites the affectionate regard of an attached family with the strict discipline of a well-organized corps. You see the Sepoys enjoying, without hindrance or interruption, the free exercise of those rites and usages consecrated by time, and whiCh have remained changeless amid the perils of conquests and the ruin of dynasties. You see the officers in kind and friendly intercourse with the men, considerately respecting their prejudices, anxiously at tending 6 their little comforts and wants, and liberally contributing to their national amusements and sports. In pleasing testimony of the happiness and c a:tent :Dent of the Sepoys, you see their relatives attending the regiment, in anxious hope of being able to join its envied ranks. You see the British officer respected and reearded by the native soldier as a protector and friend, .4nd you hear him saluted by the affectionate appellation of parent. The phraseology is eastern, but the feeling is genuine and sineere. Need I say how vain must be your efforts thus to win the confidence and regard of the Sepoys under your command if not perfectly and fami liarly conversant with their - language. Without , that knowledge you cannot con s ci e nti ous ly di sc h arge your duty to the state, or be advanced to the honours and emoluments of your profession. You are probably aware that the orders - r vow this country are peremlitoty that no officer can hold a staff appointment until he shall have passed the prescribed examination in the native languages. It is a fatal error to imagine that habits of irregelarity and extravagance evince spirit, and, are therefore peculiarly becoming a soldier. Nothing can be more false, though I fear that such an opinion is too prevalent. If there be any profession .in which regu larity and abstinence from every species of excess are peculiarly essential, it is in the military profession, where an officer knows not the moment he may be called upon to discharge duties requiring the most entire self possession. The soldier's training must be moral not less than professional—a preparation for the duties of life generally, as well as for duties purely military. Depend upon it, the best man will'be the best soldier. You are about to join, perhaps . the only service in the, world where your pay and allowances are ample to meet all your necessary expenses, and to afford you most of. the ordinary luxuries of life. Commence your career with a fixed and unalterable determination never to incur one rupee of debt. As you value your peace of mind and independence of character, listen to my warning and friendly voice, and never incur any expense, no matter how trifling, when you have- not the present means of meeting it. Don't suppose that I mean to enjoin penurious habits, or to encourage the propensity of avarice. On the contrary, I should wish to see you liberal, hospitable, and charitable, in proportion to the means with which you may be blessed. But how, I ask, are you to exercise the office of hospitality, or meet, the demands of charity, if early extravagance ka.s involved you in inextricable difficulties, and rendered you unable, and perhaps indisposed, to meet such calls? The tran sition may seem strange, but, believe me, it is not unusual, and you will learn, by experience, that early dissipation and extravagance, besides ruining the health and cir cumstances, tend, like every other vice, to harden the heart, and render it insensible to the wants of a friend, or to the cries of the distressed. And now, ray young friends, „ before bidding you adieu, let me urge my last and most earnest injunction. You are proceed i ing to a di;- tant land, where you will be encompassed by supersti tion and darkness; but you bear with you the blessed light of revelation to guide your path, and illumine your course. When raising your head from your , pillow implore by fervent prayer that,Divine aid with out which all human efforts must prove vain; and when retiring to rest, forget not your humble thanksgivings to the Author of all good. Neglect not your religious duties• and observances. Rather cherish and hallow them the more when assembled together in a foreign land, •it matters not whether under the dome of a ca thedral or the roof of the humblest dwelling. You Rill mark the Hindoo, and observe him, with unfailing re gularity, seeking the banks of the - sacred stream, and conforming, with undeviating- fidelity, to every rite prescribed by the religion of his forefathers. You will see the Mahomedan daily 'prostrating himself in prayer, at• the rising _and the setting of the sun, and hastening, at prescribed periods, to his mosque, with a fidelity and zeal worthy of a purer faith, and will you, regardless of the injunction of your Re deemer, allow your neglect of the sacred ordinances of your religion to appear in unholy contrast with the mm e rigid observance of those whose superstition and errors you profess to deplore ? True it is that the faith you profess is spiritual, and ought to be seated in the heart, but be not deluded by the impression that you can dis pense with the favours of your religion without perilling its substance and your own salvation. This, my young friends, is the last time when my duty will call upon me to address you. That duty has been to me most pleas ing and grateful, because I have had only to use the language of praise and approbation. You may, perhaps, think that I have exhorted you too earnestly and too tediously to the discharge of duties which you are inca pableness of your purpose, but from that anxious soli citude doubt o o f f n t e b g e le s c o t u i u n d g u . es ß s c o l f ie y ve our me, pri i n t, ohipalseas,risoerntbfroomfi rmno. that would induce me, under similar circumstances, to hold the same language t o m y own children, in the of har shness and to offer or suspicion. pic o n earnest.

CHINA. We find the folloiaiiig valuable statistics on he Chi nese empire, in a work by Mr. Montgomery Martin, on that inisportant and interesting . country ; they are chiefly compiled, as we )(awn from Mr. Martin's state ment, froni official records furnished to him in China, the population census b e i ng cons id ere d corr e ct by Dr. GUIS' • laff and other Chinese scholars :—" In China Proper (says Mr..M. Martin) there are 367,000,000 inhabitants, and in the dependencies of Muntehourie , Mongolia, Turkestan, and Tibet, about 40,000,000, making a total of four hundred million people under one Government ! fhe population of the whole earth is' estimated at from 300 to 1,000 millions. Mc number of inhabitants to each square mile is about the same as in England, and less than the number in Ireland.. The most dense population in China is along the hanks of the great rivers, particularly near the great Zang-tze-Kiang, and the central districts of the country, .berm the waters furnish large supplies of food. The fes cundity of the Chinese is visible in every village. The area of China Proper is given at 1,297,999 square miles, or ' 330,829,100 acres, of which 140 million acres are in culti vation. Of the 18 provinces into which the empire is di vided, 11 are inland, and the remaining seven on the sea coast. The average. population to each square mile is 283 ; tho total fixed revenue 35 million taels (a tae! is 61 ); the army 1,232,000. The description given of each province, with their principal productions, is as follows Pe- Chibte, 'inland ; westward, very flat, - sloping tawards•the sea, sterile—millet, ginseng, fruits. tobacco, coal, saltpetre, skins.

The annexed b r i e f extract , f rom the preface to the work, will be read with some irterest:— "If wealth and power involve a responsibility to Him who permits their acquisition—if England have been almost miraculously raised from a small insular kingdom, .to become the dominant empire_ of the earth— if her destiny be, through the apparent instrumentality of her commerce, to civilise man kind—then, indeed, a fearful responsibility attends her proceedings in China. The .onward progress of England, in political and commercial freedom—in the practical application Of science—in the accumulation of capital—in the extension of maritime communication— indicates that she cannot be passive ; action is essential to her existence—it is the main spring of her life—tht animating impulse which produces evil or good ; if not rightly directed, it will tend to her downfall, after Om manner of other states ; but, under wise and righteous principles, this very law of her - being will conduce to the establishment of her supremacy over the earth so long as Christianity shall exit. It is the directinterest of all other nations that this supremacy be maintained ; re public of kingdoms is as utopian as a republic of duals:--some powerful empire has always swayed the world, but whoever possessed the dominion has unfor tunately used its power for the subjugation 'and:enslave ment rather than for the elevation and liberty of weeks' states. • This has not - been -the' career of Englanu ; her insularity has happily prevented' the -neces 'sitar' of seeking continental European territory ; her free political institutions tiavo siesta any ren dered hey desirous of extending their advantages to other nations; and her pure and tolerant religiori has made her the ark to which the oppressed can flee for safety and repose; and, while placing a salutary check on ambition or mare aggrandisement, it has inspired the desire, and furnished the means, of contributing to the advancement of all countries. What, then, have the nations et Europe to fear from the supremacy of Eng land? She has thrown open the ports of her wide spread maritime dominion to every nation ; whatever new territory she conquers, or reclaims from the desert, it is freely opened to mercantile competition; she retains no selfish monopoly—claims no undue privilege—Exer . cises no arbitr'ari sway to the prejUdice of Europe. Possessed of a power which could at any moment arouse a general war—with' resources at her command far greater than she ever possessed—of a magnitude which strangers cannot see, and which are comprehended but by few, she yet earnestly seeks peace, because it is a Christian duty, and desires no other rivalry with her surrounding competitors than that of extending the bles sings of order; industry, and intelligence—of promotinf_ the interchange of commodities—and of facilitating inter course with the most distant regions. These unqUes tionable facts demonstrate, that whatever position England may acquire in China, it will not be for her ex clusive advantagd ; the time as happily arriving wen nations, as well as individuals, learn: that a benefit con ferred returns to the donor with a blessing, that injuries reflect punishment on the perpetrators ; and thus, even hi a selfish point of view, the exercise of good is a far better policy - than thetommission of injustice. A con viction of the truth of this divine precept is slowly dawn ing on the minds of men ; it is the high behest of England to prove the reality by its practical application. No sphere could be .more appropriate for its exercise than China, where. myriads of our fellow-creatUres seem srecially adapted for, and prepare 3 to receive, the influ- - - once of a Chii)tian civilisation. It is impossible to esti mate fully the effects of such an influence on so vast a mais of mankind ; it is difficult to calculate the extraor • dinar; commercial power which would be created by four hundred million active and intelligent beings, with nu merous desires, keen perceptions, and indomitable in- dustry, having full seoie given to their singular energies —it is deeply interesting to consider the physical, moral, and intellectual results which would accrue not only to the continent of Asia, but also to those of Europe and America, from the Christianisat;_on of China. Under Providence, this glorious consummation may be wit nessed-by the existing generation ; but whether this' be permitted or wit, it is the bounden duty of all Christians to aid in its accomplishment." THE MAILS.—Mueh irregularity has taken place in the arrival of our mails from the south within these few days. This has been partly accounted for by the change of weather, a good deal of snow having fallen in Berwickshire and the north of E .gland. But the extraordinary detention of the last two London mails has partly arisen from other causes, which we think, with a little forethought, might have been provided against. The mails due on Wednesday, at nine o'clock i n the morning, did not reach our po , t-office till twenty minutes past one o'clock in the afternoon. On inquiry we learn that half an hour was lost south of Newcastle; thence to Berwick, where it is horse-coached, about two hours more were lost from the same cause, namely, a rather deep fall of snow, and the horses not being frost shod. But at Berwick, when the mail came up, there was neither engine nor carriage to forward it, and it had to wait an hour or two for he return of a train from the north. A more extraordinary case of what we might call omission occurred the day previous. The London mail, due at eight o'clock on Tuesdayevening, did not reach here till half-past two on Wednesday morning, upwards of six hours behind time. This was also partly owing to the weather; tut there was another cause, and it requires explanation. There are about ten miles of the way, we understand, between Cockburnspath and Renton, where at present there is only a single line of rails. Well, the mail comes up to one eud of this space, and, finding that it had not yet passed an expected train from Edinburgh, it very properly stopped, fearing a collision on the single rail. The Edinburgh train comes td the other end, and makes a halt from the same cause. Very proper precau • tions. Better delay a short time, rather than risk the loss of life and property. But how long did they thus stop looking for each other? Three mortal , hours, by Shrewsbury clock! Now, we wo u ld ask if communica tion could not have been had between the two ends of the single line—only eight miles long—by the most lazy conveyance, in a shorter space of time than three hours? It might have been done on foot in less time. The mail was the first to take courage and proceed on this occa sion, and, happily, no_collision took place. But, really, such exigencies as these ought to be looked•to, and pro vided for.—Caledonian Mercury. WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, FRIDAY.—O wing to adverse winds we have no arrivals freni. the East coast, which causes our market to be very bare of samples. The quantity of wheat offering is inadequate to the de mand, and an advance of is. to 2s. per qr. is re,adily ob tained. Barley is in fair request at an improvement of Is. per qr. Oats and shelling are both scarce, the former is from id. to id. per stone, and the latter Is. to 2s. peiv load dearer. New Beans are eagerly taken at Is. per or more money, in old ones no, alteration. The South-Eastern Railway have just decided upon the following alterations :—Passengers leaving Londoi for Folkstone will be placed in separate carriages, as in the case of branch li nes , an d on ar riving at the Folk- stone station will be conveyed by a tram road over a swing bridge, which crosses the harbour to the oppo ;it, side into a large and very capacious station„ whit h being' erected, Abqut 200 feet of the station will be upon piles; as it is intended to carry it out . . These alterations are of area`: passengers, and will dispegth with tile use - 01 and flys. The length of the bridge and station will be 400 feet. u~~Z s IRELAND. Alil'.l7G STATE OF THE COLTN i rRY.

At an early hour this morn ing James Dillon, Esq., senior coroner of the county, arrived to bold an inquiry into the melancholy circumstances of the case. The following magis trate 4 were present at the inquest, viz.;—John Warbur- Thotuas Hackett, J. Persse Grome, Eso., and Captain Kelly, R. 111.; John Duncan, S.L., was also in attendance.

OPPOSITION TO TDB PAYMENT OF RENT—APPEAR ING IN ARMS.—We regret to record the following out rage, which proves how daring is the conduct of the people, and that a wide-spread conspiracy exists for resistance to the payment of rent. A sale of core and eattle, seized fir une , and a half year's rent, due to Mrs. Ellenllaslam, of Ballyboy, was advertised fer Thursday last, at Kiladrown, within two miles of Franktord, where a very large mob was assembled. Mrs. Hailam and her assistants were driven off the land, and severely assaulted. Several of the mob were well armed with guns and pistols in excellent order, and fired upwards of twenty shots. One of the ruffians discharged his gun at Mrs. Ffaslam's head, but fortunately without effect. Mr. Drought Haslam was very badly beaten, he received five severe wounds in the head, and n ow li es un d er the care of Dr. Thornton. On the f o ll ow i ng day an investig at i on was held at Frsnkterd, by Andrew Stoney, Esq;, J.P., nil John Duncan, Esq., sub-inspector, Parsonstors - n ; , veral witnesses were exattitheed, and subsequently five men - were arrested, charged with being of the party, and •!.anmitted to abide their trial. PLUNDERING PROVISIONS ON THE ilionwAy.--,Some flour carts belonging to Mr. Boyd, of Ballinaslee, were attacked yesterday, at Lemonaghan, in this county.

At, a lati.• period of the d a y s e vera l lose-inat were in ..r te.o.e.le from this town to Clara Mills, were also stopped at Lemonaghan, and two sacks of wheat carried off. • ASSAULT AND ROBBERY.—On the night of Friday last Mr. Wilson, of Verdant hill, near Roscrea, was attacked by two robbers in his own yard, who were armed with loaded whips or sticks, commonly called skull-crackers, one of whom struck, him a severe blow on his head, which knocked him down ; they then robbed him of a band some gold v,atch, some silv4r, and a pencil case, with which they walked deliberately away. •ROBBERY.—A most disgraceful act was committed in this town on Thursday night. The soup kitchen esta lished by the relief committee was broken open, and a quantity of bread and several trifling articles stolen therefrom. The King's county Chronicle contains a further list of ou'rages, including highway robberies, violent assaults, and plunder of provisions by armed parties. COUNTY OF GALWAY. BARBAROUS MURDER.—On Monday evening last John Browne Lynch, E,sq., of Clonkeely, near Tuam, formerly an officer in the Gth Regiment of Foot, was barbarously murdered in his own avenue, returning:from the fair of- Ballindangan. A pistol v‘as, found near his body. It is supposed he struggled with the murderers, as his skull was fractured, and his throat cut and dread fully mangled, as if with a reaping-hook. The shot was heard in the unfortunate gentleman's house, and his horse ran into the yard immediately after. The Galway Vindicator states that the object of the assassins was plunder, as Mr. Lynch was supposed to have had a large sum of money on his person. COUNTY OF LIMERICK. ATTACKS ON OFFICERS OF THE BOARD OF WORKS. —On a new -line leading from Croom to Dromcollober, between the hours of one and two o'clock on Monday, three armed men attacked Mr. Lindsay, an officer under the Board of Works, and, after firing a shot over bis head, wanted to swear him not to go on the line again.

SEVERE ACCIDENTS FROM TUE FROFT ON FRIDAY MORNING.—The sharp, although not severe. frost which set in after the foggy' rains of the preceding evening, had the effect of incrusting mot of the metropolitan thoroughfares with ice; and as such an effect was en tirely unexpected, the market carts and early morning traffic was greatly impeded. As the usual hours of business approached, accidents began to multiply, not a little aggravated by the fact of its being Smithfield morning. In the Camberwell-road Mr. John R. Aild, who was driving to his house of business in the Black friars-road, nearly met with a very severe accident ; his horse slipped when near the Elephant and Castle, and. although thp,sbafts of the gig were broken,' be provi dentially escaped unhurt. On Blackfilai - s-bridge every ' c kta7e l r d i theai officers, horse of burden was brought _to a standstill. 0111101- born-hill the parochial luthiviiies thought it necessary to strew the declivity with wet gravel, although not until very serious damage had occurred. A valuable dray horse, belonging to Messrs. Mum and Co., had his leg broken, and, in the endeaveur to extricate the poor animal, the carman was severely hurt by a kick from the suffering animal. Oa the wooden pavement, between St. Clement Danes and St. Mary-le Strand, sevvral very serious accidents occurred, and one poor fellow, who slipped and fell, b,fore the driver could pull up, was run over by a Blackwall omnibus, and so muci injured that he was taken at oece to King's College Hospital.
