LAW INTELLIGENCE. V ICE- CHAIVCELL OR' S COURT, MARCH 15. FERGUSON V. ATKINSON. Mr. Roxen moved upon notice for an injunction to re *strain the defendant from making use of a certain process ;in the manufacture of cotton goods, for which the plaintiff :had obtained a patent, and which had been infringed by •the defendant. The affidavits stated that the plaintiff re ziided at Carlisle, and was an extensive manufacturer, and -the sole inventor of the celebrated casban shalloon ; and that he bad met with the goods at Manchester, Carlisle, :and other places, counterfeited so as to resemble the casban shalloons manufactured by means of his patent process ; .and that he had discovered that some of the counterfeit foods had also been made by the defendant, who resides at Carlisle. His HoNouß thought it quite clear the defendant had in fringed the patent, and immediately granted the injunction. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCUIT.—KINosroy, MARCH 28. The business of the Assize for the county of Surrey be gan here to-day. The calendar is very light, there are only twenty-two prisoners for trial, but some of the offences are marked with features of enormity. The cause-list contains thirty-six causes, four of which are Special Juries. Mr. Justice VAUGHAN took his seat in the Crown Court, and delivered the charge to the Grand Jury. Sir N. C. TIN DAL sat in the .Nisi Prins Court. John Case, labourer, aged 21, was indicted for having en tered at night the preserves of Felix Ladbroke, Esq., at . Cuddington, armed with a gun, for the purpose of destroy mg game. Mr. Justice VAUGHAN having summed up, the Jury found the prisoner Guilty. He was sentenced to be impri soned for twelve months in the House of Correction, and to be kept to hard labour. William Powell, John Richards, and Edwin Smith, were charged on the Coroner's inquisition with the manslaughter of Wm. Seager, at Godalming, on the 22d of December last. The Jury, after hearing evidence, returned a verdict of—Not Guilty. MIDLAND CIRCUIT.—IgaRwIcr, MARCH 27. THE ICING V. WARWICK. This was an indictment preferred against the defendant for keeping a disorderly house. The defendant about three years ago was the keeper of a beer-shop in Moore -street, Birmingham, situate opposite the police-office, w here the Magistrates are in the habit of meeting twice every week. Having incurred the displeasure of the magistracy, for some reason or other, he ceased to keep the house on any longer as a beer-shop, but opened it as an eating-house, recom mending also to his customers a certain liquor which he called a cordial, and as it contained nothing excisable it was supposed he thought himself safe from the interference of all excise officers and magistrates for the future. He also deco rated his house outside with a large sign called the " Six Alls." In front was to be seen a figure representing the King, as also a grotesque figure of a Bishop,&c. The King was made to say " I govern all ;" the Bishop, " I should have prayed for all." Then came a soldier—" I fight against all ;" then a some body—" I inform against all ;" a farmer—" I work for all," and, lastly, the poor man—" I pay for all." This sign, with its various emblematical devices, was the occasion of causing great numbers of persons to stop, in order to their leading it, to the obstruction of business, while in the house itself young people of both sexes, from twelve years of age to twenty, whom the witnesses stated to be composed chiefly of prostitutes and thieves, were allowed to remain all day, playing at cards, or dancing to the pianoforte, fiddle, and tamborine. The Learned JUDGE haying summed up, the Jury re• turned a verdict of Guilty. NORFOLK CIRCUIT—BuRr Sr. EDmux n's,MARcH 2 On Saturday last the Learned Judges of Assize opened' the Commission for the county of &ITU, in this town, at four o'clock, having been met a short distance on the New market road by the High Sheriff, (Sir Hyde Parker) and At numerous cavalcade of horsemen, by whom they wc . re conducted to the Courts. This morning at eleven o'clock, Mr. Justice Coltman took his seat on the Bench in tilt. Nisi Prius Court, and proceeded to the despatch of the causes entered on his Lordship's list, which only amounted to six. The calendar is light, there being only tisirty-six prisoners for trial, of which there are but five or six of a serious nature, comprising arson, rape, burglary, and high way robbery ; the others, with the cxeeption of one case under the Night Poaching Act, arc not of any great im port-sr:cc., consisting chiefly of petty larcenies. Charles liiiper and Samna Squirrel, bolt lads of tweet) years of age, were indicted En- having committed a high way robbery on the person of .1:;:n Balls, en eged man, or. the sth of September last, and putting hint in fear, &c. Mr. PARTRIDGE stated the facts of the case, in addition to which a confession was put. in ; and the Jury finding both the prisoners guilty, sentence of death was recorded. ,- Hemy Girliug and his son, bearing the saute name, stood charged with baying stolen a sheep, the property of Georg' Hayward, of Stowmarket ; in this county, on the night of the i 7th of this month. Mr. PRENDERGAS:T stated the C;13.1 The Jury returned a verdict of guilty a gainst th e e ld er p r i soner , acquitting his son. In passing sentence upon him, Mr. Justice PAEX Car neStlV exhorted him to amend ii;s life, in that country to which by law he was obliged to seta I f u r the term of Lis life. Charles AM)hit, aged seventeen, was itacted for Laying broken ones: the dwelling-house of Jirries Girling, in Ips wich, on the night of the 21st of November, and stolen therein some bread. The farts were clearly proved against ln m , a n d the Jury instantly found him guilty, recommend• ing him to mercy on account of his youth. His LORDSHIP directed sentence of death to be recorded, but intimated to the prisoner his intention of acting upou the merciful recommendation of the Jury. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—Lx7NRroor., MAncil 27. The A - ssizes commenced here to-day, the commission for the southern division of Lancashire having been opened on the evening of Saturday The business in both Courts is considerably greater than usual. The calendar is heavy, and contains more than the usual proportion of f;fronces of the more serious kind. Sixteen prsons stand charged with manslaughter, three with murder, five with attempts to murdvr, and one 'a ith arson. William Francis Drake, who was lately apprehended at Manchester, in consequence of his endeavouring to discount a forged bill of exchange for 11,3471. 125., stands charged with the uttering of this and several other bills. The family of the Arnetts, whose apprehension in September last, on a charge of coining, caused some sensation at the time, will take their triel at these Assizes. Jesse Piling was indicted for having at Prestwich, in the county of Lancaster, married Betty Norris, his former wife being living at the time. The marriage to both wives was proved by the most clear testimony. The prisoner grounded his defence upon the circumstance of his first wife having left. him, and mar ried a collier, with whom she had lived for some years. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty, and lie was sen tenced to twelve months' imprisonment. Robert Tindall, for a similar offence, committed under more aggravated circumstances, was sentenced to seven years' transportation. It appeared by the evidence that he had absconded from his wife and family, and in a false name married a widow woman of Rochdale, for the sake of the small property she possessed. Walmsley Shepherd, a lad of sixteen, was indicted for the manslaughter of a lad about his own age, Richard Chad wick, at Bury, on the 14th of October last. The prisoner and the deceased were in the service of a butcher at Bury, and on the day on which the fatal injury was inflicted were both at work in their master's slaughter house. A person who resided in the immediate neighbour hood saw them both going in, and a little after there was a cry as if of some one in pain, and deceased came to the door of the slaughter-house, holding his hand to his side, and exclaiming,, " Oh, the knife ! the knife." There was blood at that time running. out at the legs of his trousers. On being asked who had done it, he said Walmsley. The prisoner at this time was walking backwards and forwards at the door of the slaughter-house, apparently as the wit nesses said, out of his mind with fright. On being ques tioned, he said the deceased had knocked away the prop from the dressing-board where he was at work, and had annoyed an irritated him in other ways, until in his anger he took up the knife and flung it at him. Chadwick died shortly afterwards, having previously expressed his forgive ness of the prisoner for what had been done.—Guilty. After a very serious admonition from his Lordship, he was, in consideration of his having been already imprisoned since November, sentenced to month's imprisonment, with hard labour. On the civil side the entry of causes is very large, amount ing, it appears, to 167. The lists, however, are not yet complete. The Court was engaged nearly the whole day in taking undefended causes. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. HATTON-GARDEN. John, James, and Francis Keys, alias Dwyer, were yes terday brought before Mr. BENNETT for re-examination, charged by Mr. Kayzor, goldsmith and jeweller, of Totten ham-court-road, on suspicion of a plate robbery. After bearing evidence, Mr. BENNETT said he would remand them, and ordered that immediate information should be forwarded to the parties who were plundered. Yesterday evening, just before M r . B ENN E TT qu itt e d the bench, Mr. George Downes, a merchant of the city, was brought into the office, in the custody of Inspector Campbell, Mobbs, 11, and Harlett, 2.5, E division, charged with having threatened the life of his wife, Mrs. Mary Ann Downes, of No. 8, Bidborough-street, Brunswick-square, and with wilfully damaging her property under the follow ing extraordinary circumstances :—The defendant was under the excitement of liquor whilst before the Magis trate, and Mrs. Downes not having made her appearance by the time when the case was called on, he was dis charged, and he was leaving the office when Inspector Campbell informed Mr. BENNETT that on searching the defendant two 101. notes were folind in his possession, which were ordered to be delivered up to him, and he carelessly put them into his pocket, and departed. Shortly afterwards Mrs. Downes, a tall well-looking wo man, entered the office with a male friend, in great-excite ment, and with breathless haste ; and, on its being inti mated that her husband was discharged, she expressed her astonishment, and insisted on having an interview with the Magistrate, and she forced her way into the presence of Mr. Bennett, and inquired why he was discharged ? Mr. BENNETT informed her that she was Coo late, and he was discharged in consequence of her absence. Mrs. Downes, confusedly, said her life was in danger, and she could not return to her residence, where an out rage had been perpetrated by her husband, unless she was protected. Mr. BENNETT said if he was in the neighbourhood of the office he should be brought back, and he ordered the officers to go in pursuit of him, which they did, and in less than a minute he was again placed before the Bench. Nesbit, the officer, administered the usual oath, " To speak the truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God." Mrs. Downes (exceedingly confused and excited) — What ! am Ito say, so help me God ? Nesbit—Yes. Mrs. Dowries (kissing the book)—So help me God I will speak the truth. She then stated, that in the afternoon she had occasion to proceed to the city on business, and, on her return, about three o'clock, she found the defendant in her house, conducting himself in a most violent manner, breaking every valuable article in the place. He had turned her servant out, and the whole property, consisting of looking-glasses, frames, pictures, vases, ornaments, furniture of every de scription, and even silver spoons, &c. was broken up. The place was literally strewed with fragments of the destroyed property ; and he had opened her box, containing two 10/. notes, which she had deposited there towards the payment of her rent, which were taken out by the defendant, and not a vestige of anything was left, and he swore that he would have her life. She ran away in a state of alarm and called in the police to her assistance, and gave him into custody. Mr. BENNETT (to the defendant)—What is your answer to this ? Defendant (lifting up his eyes, and thumping the table with both hands, exclaimed emphatically)—My answer is a broken heart. Mr. BENNETT inquired of Mrs. Downes whether she could undertake to swear that she went in bodily fear from her husband's violence and threats ?—She replied in the affirmative. Mr. BENNETT said she should be protected, and he or. dered him to find bail. A gentleman here offered himself as bail, saying he was Mr. Headon,coachbuilder, of Richmond, and begged to know the nature of the bail. Mr. BENNETT—TWO housekeepers in 201. each. Mr. Headon—Then I shall decline. I have seen the damage done to the property, which is, at least, 1501.'s worth ; and if such conduct is repeated, I must forfeit my recognizances. _ _ _ Mr. BENNETT—Certainly so. Mrs. Downes requested that the defendant might be or dered to restore to her the two M. notes, which were own property, and she had received them under a legal deed of separation from her husband. Mr. Headon had cashed a bill fur her, end t'aey were I er property. _ _ _ Mr. BENNErer thought, in justice, they ought to be re stored to her, if he (defendant) was conscious that they be longed to. her. Mr. Dotvires hesitated, but et entually• banded her over the money. Mr. Downes, who seemed very much affected during the proceedings, was incarcerated until the production of bail, anti the parties quitted the office. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. The two Mrs. Smiths, of Portland-court, next-door neighbours, but in no way related, curie to the office, the one to complain, and the other to explain, matters relating to a box on the ear which the fattest of the two had inflicted on her neighbour. Fat Mrs. Smith had a favourite4bby, for whose moral rectitude she was particularly solicitous, and well knowing. • th it her neighbour had a tortoiseshell torn, whose caterwaul ing propensities made him a general fainurite with the feline tabbies of the neighbourhood, she teok more than common precatuiun to keep the character of her charge perfectly im maculate. The tabby, however, was not at all dispos7d to second the ticws of her squeamish mistress, and having already acquired something more than a mere penchant for the whiskers of her tortoiseshell admirer, she tried various stratagems to aceotuiTsh a nearer acquaintance. Fat Mrs. Smith, on Saturday last, locked miss tabby in the garret, and, believing, her to be secure from all amatory, visits, neglected the precaution of shutting down the win tbitv ; for tortoiseshell torn happened to be reconnoitering just at that moment on the housetop, and his beseeching enolrows having been responded to by the complying wow wows of his fair one, he quickly made his way along the p irapet and presented his whiskers at the window. Same uopropitious deity, willing to afford - another illustration of the amatory axiom that " the course of true love never doth run smooth," sent fat Mrs. Smith into the garret on some errand which required the use of a mopstick. No sooner did she spy the manoeuvre of the tortoiseshell-wooer than without inure ado she lent him a whack on his' crup pe-r which tumbled him into the area below; and f r some time rend red him oblivious of ail mundane matters. Word having been brought to short Smith of the tvolul plight of her tofu she ran into the house of fat Mrs. Smith, and, on opening her errand, was quickly complimented with the weight of her fat neighbour's fat fist. Mr. CONANT said it was strange that women took such fancies to cats, and pointed out the folly of neighbours fal ling nut about such triflus. The ladies, however, were too warm to be pacified, se the warrant was discharged, after a small fine was inflicted on. the defendant. UNION HALL. Yesterday Jane Ekes, a young female, with a profusion of showy-coloured ribbons in her cap, was charged with violently assaulting her mother, an elderly woman. The complainant was a widow, and the . defendant (her daughter) lived with her, and, by her extravagance in dress, had nearly redUced her to the condition of a pau per. On Saturday last, in consequence of her refusal to give her daughter two shillings to purchase ribbons, the latter, exasperated a t it, s t ruc k her a violent blow, the mark of which was still visible on her body. Mr. JEREMY asked her if she had any witness who was present when the assault was committed ? Complainant— Yes, I have a most essential witness. She then beckoned to a little bald-headed old man, with a remarkably long nose, who stood some little distance off, saying, " Come forward, Mr. Goddard, and say all you know on the point." Mr. Goddard immediately answered the call, and soon stood next to Mrs. Elmes, by whose side he looked like a minikin, she being a tall corpulent woman. The daughter, on seeing Mr. Goddard, directly exclaimed, " That little man is the cause of all our dis putes. Although he has one foot in the grave, yet my mother and he live together like man and wife, and, tq get rid of me, they have trumped up this charge against me." Mr. JEREMY asked the witness if he could give any evi dence against the defendant, and his reply was, that lie saw her strike her mother between four and five years ago, but not since. The complainant then denied that any improper intimacy existed between her and Mr. Goddard, as her daughter represented, and that she (the mother) had only lived with him at one period as his housekeeper. The old gen tleman was 76 years of age, and it was ridiculous to suppose anything improper. Mr. JEREMY was bound to believe the false and un founded nature of the aspersions thrown out by the daugh ter against her mother ; and as the assault was proved he should make the former find bail to keep the peace. The daughter having found the requisite bail was then liberated, and her mother expressed her determination not to permit her to " darken her doors" again. WORSHIP_ STREET. Yesterday a man of the name of Hardy, a coach-painter, and a woman named Davies, were placed at the bar be fore Messrs. CODD and BROUGHTON for re-examination, charged with having committed a desperate assault upon Brown, Tilt, and Eagles, officers of the establishment, while conveying the prisoners from the office to the prison van. In consequence of the blows which Tilt received he was prevented from attending to his duties. Hardy was fined 205., or one raonth's imprisonment ; and Davies Ios., or fourteen days' imprisonment. THAMES- OFFICE. Yesterday 2[r. John Wri . ght, a respectable ship-rigger, was brought before Mr. BALLANTINE, on a charge of stealing an axe, a handsaw, a screw bolt, and other ar ticles, the property of Thomas Bullock. After hearing the facts of the case, Mr. BALLANTINE expressed himself perfectly satisfied that there was no foundation for the charge, and that the prisoner left tl:e bar without any imputation on his character. The prisoner was then told he was at liberty to depart when he pleased. Mr. Gaily Knight gave an elegant dinner yester day at his house iu Lower Grosvenor-street.

Soon after the unhappy restoration Milton was of fered the place of Latin Secretary to the King, which, not withstanding the importunities of his wife, he resolutely re fused. His answer to his wife's entreaties was—" You are in the right, my dear ; you as other women, would ride in y our coach—for me, my win is to liveand die an honest man." W e dare say, there are writers now in existence who would not hesitate to declare, if pressed upon the subject, th a t Milton was a consistent fool , and his wife a sensible and di?creet person. On Thursday a gentleman, very well dressed, was interrogated before the chief of the police, then conveyed to the great prison, accompanied by a police officer and a gen darme, and some hours afterwards he was found dead in his room, having hung himself with his cravat. He was sus. pected of having committed a great crime in France.—Brus sels Paper. KILKENNY PIGS.—One night, in the early part of last week, a farmer residing in an adjoining village, inconside rately put a cow, on the eve of calving, into a barton with a lot of hungry pigs, and on going the following morning to look after the hopes of the family, he found the voracious swine had not only eaten up the new-born calf, but had finished the cow also, leaving nothing but the horns and the tail. We do not vouch for the whole truth of the story.—Dorset Chronicle. It appears from a record found in the archives of the Westminster Corporation, that formerly there was a cer tain SUM allowed to one of its members for " pricking the new tunes into the music books." May it be permitted to inquire of the Dean and Chapter when this payment was first discon tinued, and who now misappropriates the money ? Improve ment in the musical service of our cathedrals becomes hopeless when we find those who are the most interested in the welfare of the Corporations the first and foremost to close every ave nue that might tend to bring about such a desirable event. When last, we wonder, did any of the Deans and Chapter s request the composition of a new service or anthem ? and during the last half century how much has been expended in purchasing new works, or employing the talents of our English composers ? We would venture to say such a return, if made, would not produce a sum equal to the annual income of the poorest Dean in Christendom. —The Musical World. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. ( From the New London Price Current of March 28.) SUGAR. —The transactions in West India on Wednesday and Thursday last, being the only two days the market has been open since our last report, owing to the holidays, have been extremely moderate, both the Grocers and Refiners pur chasing sparingly, and prices have given way 6d. to ls. ; the greater decline has been on the brown and ordinary soft yellow descriptions ; the purchases have not exceethd 600 hhds. and trs. There have been no arrivals, and we are still without any public sale of Barbadoes ; the deliveries have been on a large scale, and exceed those of last year. This afternoon the Mar ket closed, but business will be resumed to-morrow. This stock of West India Sugar is now 10,657 hhds. and trs., being 271 more than last year. The stock of Mauritius is now 63,633 bags, which is 4,672 less than last year (including the East India Dock.) The delivery of West India last week was 1,752 hhds. and trs., which is 55 more than last year. The delivery of Mauritius was 6,450 bags, being 1,248 more than the corresponding week of last year (including the East India Dock.) Average Price of Sugar 11. 14s. 4i-d. per cwt., and at the same time last year I/. 18s. 04d. Refined Sugars have given way ls., and the home and export request has been very moderate ; there is still but a scanty supply of goods at Market, small r ;arcels of Double Crushed have been taken at 365. a 365. 6d., and lumps entitled to the double bounty at 775. Treacle has been in good request at the quotations. Bastards have met with a dull sale. Dutch Crushed Sugar is offered at lower prices, but without finding buyers. Matiatrirs.—The importers continuing to be anxious sellers,. and both the grocers and refiners having purchased sparingly have caused prices again to give way 6d. a Is. ; at a public sale of 5,670 bags. mid. and good yellow sold at 565. to 595. 6d , ord. and mid. grey 525. to 575. 6d. ; no public sale is at pre sent advertised ; there has been an arrival of 5,600 bags. EAST INDIA.-From the home trade there has been an ac tive request privately for Bengal at steady prices, and on the part of the shippers more disposition has been evinced to do business ; none has been brought to public sale ; large supplies may be looked for shortly. Siam has been much wanted at stiff prices, particularly those of strong white grain, but there are none in the Market. The high prices for which Manilla is held has prevented business. Of Java there is none here. A public of 3,300 bags Manilla is announced for auction to-morrow. FOREIGN.—The yellow and brown descriptions of Ha vannah, particularly the former, of strong grain, have been in good request and rather stiffer prices have been obtained ; the private purchases have been 600 chests, fine strong yellow at 275. 6d., and ord. and mid. soft at 255. a 265. ; besides 500 chests good yellow but soft Cuba at 245. 6d., for the white de scriptions little demand has existed, but there being few at Market the holders ask full prices. For Brazil there has been much enquiry, particularly for strong whites at fully the prices quoted, but there being few in the Market the transactions have been trivial ; 500 chests and barrels Brazil and 1,300 boxes yellow Hcvannah are advertised for public sale on Friday. MotassEs.—There has been very little business done in \Vest India and till prices are the same as last week. 130 puns. St. Kitts will be offered at public sale to-morrow. The total deliveries of West India Molasses from the warehouses for home use for the week eliding March the 25th amount to 2,440 cwt. COCOA.—We are still without public sales of British Plan tation, and, little request has existed privately. In Foreign the business done has been confined to small parcels of Guaya quil at 355. A parcel of Para is on its passage. The total deliveries of West India Cocoa from the warehouses for home use for the week ending March 25th are 6,6691b5. RUM, BRANDY AND • HOLLANDS.—The home and export buyers of Rum have purchased very moderately of Jamaica, and the business done in Leewards has been confihed to 250 puncheons at 2s. 3d. a 2s. sd. for 4 to 11 per cent. over proof. Brandy has been totally neglected. In Geneva a steady bu siness has been done at the quotations. The stock of Rum is 493 puns. less, but 83 hhds. more than it was last year—the deliveries last week exceed those of the corresponding week of last season by 183 puns. and 69 hhds. TALLOW.—There has beer► very little business doing for con sumption, but the prices of P. Y. C. /lave been steady at 445. 9d. to 455. The transactions for delivery have been on a limited scale at 425. for the last three months. PnovisioNs.—The transactions in the Irish Butter Market have been very trivial, but in the prices there have been no rarticular variation ; the arrivals have been light. Foreign has met with a dull sale, and prices have given way some shillings, the best Friezland selling at 106 s. ; the fresh supplies have been pretty good, amounting to 6,000 casks.

On Sunday morning a middle-aged man of the name of Richardson, residing in Bond-court, Walbrook, coachman to Alderman Atkins, suddenly expired while in conversation with his wife. The unfortunate man had just returned from church, and observing to his partner that it was very cold she saw him change countenance and turn ghastly white, and be fore she could speak he fell. Medical aid was promptly called, but all attempts to restore animation were in vain—the vital spark had fled. It was on Tuesday (instead of Saturday) last, that the violent and nearly fatal attack was made on Mr. Vance of Sackville-street, by a lunatic gentleman named Broadlcy. There is a mere possibility of the recovery of Mr. Vance, but at present the favourable chances are but few; this well known and much respected physician has been greatly reduced i t health and strength since the death of his son, two years since, occasioned by a fall from his horse. It is said that one of the witnesses in the late trial " De Roe v. Cumming," is about to publish a more ample detail of facts connected with that extraordinary case than ho had an opportunity of stating in Court. A kind of newspaper — war has grown up between the governments of Russia and Prussia. The Hamburg Correspondenten, an organ of the Czar, after reciting all / 10 benefits conferred upon Prussia by the Muscovites, charges dm' former state with neglecting to co-operate in the oppression of Poland. This is a charge of which the Court of Berlin need not be ashamed. Our readers will recollect that during a storm in last December the Isabella, of Killough, was strand..d in the neighbourhood of Cogher-head, when the lives of the crew were providentially preserved through the exertions of Mr. Thompson, of the coast guard, and the party under his com mand, who at a very considerable personal risk, succeeded in rescuing the unfortunate men from their perilous situation after they had been several hours in the shrouds. We have great pleasure in stating that the Shipwreck Institution have rewarded this gallant conduct by presenting Mr. Thompson with a silver medal, and nine pounds to be distributed amongst h's men. Mr. Thompson, a few years back, saved the crew of the Raven, which was stranded on the North Bull, and for which he was also presented with a medal by the same Insti tution. This gentleman has, upon various occasions, been most successful in preserving human life, and has never hesi tated to risk his own safety when he witnessed his fellow-crea tures in peril. We understand that as many as 23 persona owe the preservation of their lives to his gallantry. On Sunday night, a woman, named Jane Red grove, living in lien and Chicken-lane, Waluortb, was burnt , t - ) death while in a state of intoxication, in a room which she and her husband occupied. On the above night the husband of the deceased went home drunk, and on entering the room lie stumbled over something in the middle of the floor, from which a dente and suffocating smoke arose. On procuring a light, which he did after some difficulty, owing to the state of drunkenness in which he was at the time, he found that it was his wife, and whose body presented a dreadful sight, the whole of her clothes being burnt to tinder, and her own per son, from her legs upward, being scorched in such a manner by the fire, that it was impossible to discern a feature in her face. It appeared that the unfortunate woman had gone home drank on the night in question, and by accident set fire to her own c'cthes, and that the circumstance was not known to the ether lodgers in the house until her husband came home in the state described, and gave the alarm. The Neapolitan journals state that a young French man had thrown himself into the crater of Mount Vesuvius , in consequence of a female dancer of the Theatre San Carlos having turned a deaf ear to the passion with which she had inspired him.
