He married the daughter of Dowdy-ben-Ganhah, chief of one of the most powerful tribes of the Sahara, and from this marriage issued Achmet el-Haggi, the present Bey of Constantine. His father, Mohammed, was a cruel and avaricious man. As Kalifah, it was his office to collect the taxes and pro ceed against defaulters. The enormity of his exactions and crimes excited such universal complaints against him that the report reached Algiers, and the Dey, Ali Coggia, also celebrated for his cruelty, gave orders for the exter mination not only of the Kalifah, but of his whole family, in the same way that we exterminate a race of noxious animals. • Ordinary ;;;;;;cl;y at half-past One. .

MALLAN, Surgeon Dentist, No. 10, Ludgate-hill, opposite the Bell Saurage lon, continues to RESTORE DECAYED TEETH, however large the cavity, with his celebrated MINERAL SUCCEDANEUM, without PAIN, HEAT, or PRESSUItE—it hardens into enamel, allays the most excruciating pale, and lasso for many years, preventing the necessity of extraction. LOOSE TEBTII FASTENED whetherarising from A GE,NEGLBCT, DISEASE of the GUMS, or the USU of CALOMEL INCORRODIBLE ARTIFICIAL TEETH, from a SINGLE ONE to a COMPLETE SET, matching exactly in form or c dour the adjoin ing ones. 'These teeth will not corrode or become discoloured ; they are fixed without WIRES or other LIGATURES, on a principle which at ords support to the adjoining teeth, however loose, and answer every purpose of MASTICATION and ARTICULATION. To clergymen and public orators, labouring under defective ; ronuncia tion, Monsieur J. M. MALLAN'S method of replacing Teeth will be found peculiarly valuable, as it obviates all defects of articulation. The use of Artificial Teeth, in some instances, has been found objec tionable by invalids taking medicines that have a tendency to discolour them, or in the performanee el operations which conspoltheir removal, perhaps, in the presence of an attendant or domestic; Messrs. M., how ever, have been successful in removing these objections, by constructing teeth for those purposes of substances, and in such a manner as to render them capable of withstanding effects of the most inimical nature.

It is not generally known that the letters of General Jackson on the subject of banking which have recently ap peared in the Washington Globe were not intended by the writer for publication. The reason assigned by the editor of that journal for their insertion is that of rebutting a charge made by Judge White, that General Jackson was solicitous to establish a bank of the United States, founded upon the monies of the United States, and attached to the Treasury Department. The address containing these charges was published similtaneously by Judge White at Mephis and Knoxville, the two extremes of the state of Tennesse, both at a great distance from the residence of General Jackson, and the presumed object was that of acting upon the elections before they could be contradicted. The editor of the Globe felt it to be due, therefore, to Ge neral Jackson to publish these letters, in order to disabuse the public mind, and he adds that no other motive could have called them forth from their privacy. This circum stance is - material, because, whatever may be thought of the opinions contained in these letters, it will serve to ac quit General Jackson of the further charge which has been made against him of obtruding himself upon the management of public affairs after the legitimate term of his power had exp►red. The Kentish Chronicle contains some curious cor respondence m reference to the refusal of the Rev. Mr Brockman, the vicar of St. Clement's Sandwich, to christen the child of a Mr. Baker by the name of Isaac Nimrod." Mr. Baker stated that on the 30th of April last he applied t, Mr. Brockman to christen his child by the name is question, when he refused to do so, on the ground that " Nimrod was a wicked person, and a snarer of souls." Mr. Brockman was absent from the parish for six weeks, but on lis return application was again made to him, but he still refused, saying he " would not christen the child by that infamous name." Mr. Baker has since applied for advice in several quarters, but he has not yet been able to get his child christened by the name he desires. He states that his reason for wishing the child to be so named is that " he has a brother christened William Nimrod, and an uncle whose name is Isaac, and between the two some conside rable property will be in due time coming to this child, partly on condition of its being of that name." Costenoble, one of the most distinguished orna ments of the German stage, and for many ',ears a leading favourite with the public at Vienna, died suddenly at Prague about a fornight ago. He had been performing a t Ham burg and other cities in the north of Germany, and was on his return to the Austrian capital. LEVELLING OF RANK.—It is curious how the ignorant and simple always raise or ilcpreciate others, whatever their rank may be, to their own levels, when they talk of them. I listened to one little girl tell- ing a story to another, in which kings, queens, and princesses were the actors. " And so," said the queen to the princesses, " what a very pretty doll that is of yours!" " Yes, Miss ; Papa bought it for me at the bazaar, and gave ss. 6d. for it," &c. This reminded me of the sailors telling stories on board of a man-of-war, who put very different language into the mouth of royalty. " Well," says the King, ‘‘- blow me tight if I'll stand this. You must buckle too as fast as you please, Mrs. Queen." " see you hanged first, and your head shaved too," answered her Majesty in a rage, &c. &c. Wha tqueens may say in a rage it is impossible to assert ; but to the seaman this language appeared to be perfectly regal and quite correct.—New .MAithly Magazine for September. Clayton, the " Columbus of the skies," as Pren tice calls him, says he has passed through Cincinnati with his monster balloon (" Star in the East"), and gone to Pittsburg, to give the " City of Smoke" a sight of him. Unfortunately his barometer was broken a few minutes be fore he went up at Louisville. The thermometer ranged from 55 to 60. A snow--.vhite cloud, of mountain shape, he says, with its dark shadow, passed at one time far below and between him and the earth, in the op; °site direction to that which he was travelling. The forests resembled an im mense ocean reflecting the sun on its bosom, and the culti vated spots appeared like islands. He travelled 100 miles in the forty-eight hours he was up, coming down twice. lie says he is convinced that with his balloon, which he says is the best ever constructed in the United States, he could travel several thousand miles, and remain a week, if necessary, in the atmosphere: DESTITUTION.—Last evening an inquest was held at the Brown Bear public-house, in White Lion-street, Goodman's-fields, before Mr. Baker, the Coroner, on the body of Mrs. Letitia Dooley, aged 52, who from severe dis tress had committed self-destruction. A verdict of " Tem porary insanity" was returned. _ The Russian Government is taking great pains to introduce the cultivation of the sugar cane of the East into the province of the Caucasus, the soil of which, and parti cularly of that part called Chonat-Salschin, was thought to show considerable aptitude for such a production. Hitherto, however, these efforts have not been successful. At present, an Armenian has devoted himself to this object. very sanguine of results, but rather hampered by want of capital. At Leukoran, some plants lately sown had proved successful. It must be admitted, however, that the ob stacles to be encountered are many and great ; and that no very confident hopes are entertained of ultim to success. —Russian Paper. The influence of his maternal uncle with Hessen Bey, of Constantine, enabled Achmet, now grown up to man hood, gradually to recover the favour of his chief ; in 1818 he was recalled, and shortly afterwards appointed Kalifah to the Bey, who restored to him 'the greater part of his pa trimony. In the exercise of his new functions Achmet developed the rapacity and violence of character which had been so fatal to his father. Complaints were made at Algiers, but Achmet had found means to conciliate the favour of the most influential men at the Regency, and the only punish ment inflicted was an order to perform a pilgrimage to Mecca. He returned to Algiers in 1826. Having again fallen into disgrace he was banished to Medeah, but was soon taken into favour again, and the friend whom he had se cured by his adroit prodigalities, procured his elevation, in the following year, to the office of Bey of Constantine, in the place of Ibrahim Bey, who was deposed, and in immi nent peril of his head as well as his place. The wild impetuosity of Achmet's passions knew no re straint in this elevated position. His violence and his ex actions raised against him the complaints of nearly all the Sheikhs, and in 1830 his ruin was determined on ; the Dey deferred the execution of the sentence only to the period when the Beys were bound to appear in person, to bring their respective tributes, a duty imposed upon them every third year. From this danger Achmet was saved by the arrival of the French expedition. About two months before the departure of the army and fleet from Toulon M. de Lesseps, the French Consul at Tunis, was directed to enter into a negotiation with Achmet Bey to point out to him the dangers which awaited him in Algiers, and endeavour to attach him to the interests of France by the prospect of a feudal kind of independence. MM. Daubignose and Girardin, who were sent to Tunis in the month of April, were charged to second these at tempts. They proved unsuccessful. Achmet rejected their advances, and on the return of the two agents to Toulon, about the beginning of May, the account which they gave of the disposition of the Bey contributed to hasten the de parture of the armament, in order that the attack might be made before the arrival of the troops from Constantine. Achmet, however, set off about the end of May, and ar rived with his contingent at Algiers. He displayed much courage ; all the officers present at the battle of Stowclly, and at the engagements which preceded the capitulation, re member the magnificent appearance of the Bey, the bril liancy of his arms, the splendour of his costume, and the beauty of his horses. His teat, which fell into our power, was rich in the extreme. During the attack on Fort I'Empereur, the Bey of Con stantiac's troops had taken up a position in the plain of the Hamma, and along the crest of the hills which run along the roadstead of Algiers. Achmet himself had established his head-quarters at Hussein Dey, a beautiful country seat of the Dey, close to the shore. The capitulation of Algiers, which followed immediately on the capture of Fort l'Empereur, spread the greatest con sternation among the inhabitants of the city. They hastily fled in every direction still open to them, bearing with them what they could carry away of their private wealth ; some, embarking in boats, fled along the sea-shore ; others went out in crowds by the suburb of Bab-Azoon, which led to the quarters of Achmet. Aga Ibrahim, the Dey's son-in law, who had commanded the army at Stowelly and at Sidi- Kalef, was one of the first to take refuge with Achmet, car rying with him the whole of his moveable wealth ; he was followed by an immense number of the inhabitants, belong ing nearly all of them to the opulent classes, and by about 1,600 men of the Turkish militia. This emigration was only arrested when General Lahitte turned the fire of Fort l'Empereur upon Fort Bab-Azoon, situated between the sea and the only road leading to the Hamma. The balls directed against the Fort, but of which many fell on the read, served to arrest the fugitives. Followed by this rich and numerous convoy, Achmet and his troops set off to return to Constantine on the very day of the capitulation of Algiers. On passing the Ras rata, an immense farm belonging to the Dey, where the stud and the flocks of the Government were kept, the Bey took possession of whatever appeared convenient to him. Shortly afterwards the treasures of Ibrahim excited his cu pidity, and a few days afterwards the imprudent Aga re turned to Algiers, having been stripped of everything. The return of Achmet to Constantine was considered in the Beylik as a kind of triumph. The immense crowd which came to seek shelter there, and the rich booty which fol lowed him, made a lively impression on the imagination of the Arabs. They exalted his power, his talents—he ap peared to them as a man sent by Providence to preserve the nation from entire destruction, but it was not long be fore these illusions of enthusiasm were dissipated. The refugee Turks from Algiers were treated extremely well by Achmet. He received them into his service, and secured to them a moiety of the pay which they had re ceived from their late Sovereign ; but, on being united with those of their nation already at Constantine, it was not long before a confidence in their own numbers led them to mani fest that turbulent.spirit of insubordination which has always characterised them. They felt it a humiliation to receive orders from a Cooloogli ; they, therefore, resolved to de pose Achmet, and to elect a 13ey of their own race. Full of confidence in their strength, they assembled in arms out side the city, and, without any further formality, notified to Achmet his deposition. They then proceeded to the elec tion of his successor. Their choice fell on Harnood-ben- Shakar, a young man, the son of a former Bey, but more distinguished for his propensity for drunkenness and de bauchery than by any superiority of talent or experience. Achmet appeared resigned, feigning to yield to the storm. He commanded preparations to be made for his departure. The mules and dromedaries were loaded by his servants, the horses were saddled, and all seemed ready for his flight to the desert. All this, however, was only a stratagem, in tended to lull the Turks into a feeling of false security, and to conceal the plan of vengeance which he was meditating. During the night which was to have preceded his departure, the Coolooglis and Moors, who had remained faithful to him, pointed out to the population all that they would be likely to suffer from the insolence and avidity of the Turkish militia. At daybreak the inhabitants took up arms, and attacked the Turks, who, taken by surprise, were forced to submit. The Bey, whom they had elected on the preced ing day, was decapitated in the presence of his comrades, with fifteen of his chief accomplices ; the rest were pardoned ; but Achmet afterwards found means to disperse them, to massacre them one by one, and so complete has been their extermination that out of 3,000, their original force, there are not probably more than thirty now at Constantine. A new Turkish corps has indeed since been raised at Tunis, Tripoli, Smyrna, and Constantinople, composed of about 2,000 infantry and 800 horse. Some time after this rigorous and sanguinary execution, Mustapha Boomz-Rais, Bey of Titcry, who had hastily made his submission after the capture of Algiers, but after wards broke with us, assumed the title of Pacha, and pro claimed himself the successor of Hassan Bey. He lost no time in sending two Envoys to notify his elevation to Ach met, and at the same time to invest the latter with the Bey lick of Constantine. Achmet listened calmly to the ha rangue of the Ambassador, and then made no other reply than to order the orator's head to be cut off, dismissing his colleague to bear the news of his reception to his master. He then himself assumed the title of Pacha, which he has borne ever since. Achmet soon found himself opposed to an enemy who .441 VAN BUTCHELL ON FISTULA, &e.

In offering to the attention of the Inhabitants of Worcestershire a new Weekly Paper, entirely devoted to the County, it is incum bent upon us shortly to state the necessity from . which the under taking originates, the advantages which will attend its adoption, and the political principles upon which it will be conducted. It is useless now to discuss the question whether the purpose of a Provincial Paper is best answered by engaging in the wide field of political discussion, or by confining itself more particularly to local intelligence and the current news of the day ; sufficient is it to re mark that of the four papers at present published in this county, three are distinctly Tory, and the fourth abstains from taking any decided part. With a view of laying before the public the great truths of poli tical and social science, our present undertaking has arisen ; and while it shall be our anxious endeavour properly to direct the minds of our readers, our strenuous exertions shall be applied to impress upon them the paramount importance of maintaining those liberal principles which we hold essential to public prosperity, conducive to individual happiness, and consonant with the better feelings and nobler faculties of man. With principles alone, it is cur intention to deal. If any ore looks forward to the existence of the Worcestershire Chronicle as a convenient medium for personal invective or party calumny, he will be disappointed: if any man imagines that it is established in mere hostile opposition to any of the existing county papers, he is mistaken: if any one believes that it owes its origin to the excited feelings of any single class of liberal politicians, he is deceived : for it is set on foot by the united exertions of County and City Re formers of all grades, and it looks forward to the attainment of an end far higher than the gratification to be obtained from personal invective, party calumny, or editorial victory. The Chronicle will sift the nature of each political question, as it presents itself to public notiee; it will lay b are th e arguments on which it rests, and expose their fallacies, if any there be. Our object is to lead our fellow-county-men to come to conclusions and to form their judgments, not from one-sided vie ws a l one , b u t f rom a minute examination of the subject-matter in all its bea r i ngs . Yet, with the very best intentions, with all the caution it is pos sible to unite to that openness of conduct which at all times shall mark our course, how arduous the undertaking ! how difficult the management of a County Liberal Paper ! We cannot, like the Tory editor, address any well-compacted body of men. We cannot, like him, guide ourselves by narrow party views ; for " THE PEOPLE" constitute our party, and within the range of our political horizon are Lib era l s o f every s h a d e : there, is the man whose principles, are based on truth and justice, on the full enjoyment to all men of civil and re li g i ous l i b erty ; there also is he, whom prejudices (imbibed perhaps during a faulty system of public education) prevent from acting up to the full ex tent of such principles ; and there also may be found the man who, through timidity, often confines himself within still narrower bounds. To all, we say, judge us not by any single act—but take us as a whole. If, for instance, we show ourselves favourable to " The Ballot," and there are those, among our readers, who are not yet convinced of the necessity for its adoption, let them not withhold from us their support, on such grounds alone, but let them bear in mind the many points en which we do agree with them, and let them listen to our arguments in favour of the measure. Let none c,riTsider us unconstitutional, or anxious to subvert the existing order of things, because we maintain that the constitution was made for the people, rather than thepeople for the constitution. Our object is to repair, not to destroy; to improve, and not to injure. We deprecate all changes proposed for the mere sake of change. While our columns are open for the insertion of communications from the professors of all religious tenets, we shall ourselves ab stain from advocating the doctrines of any particular sect. Upon all occasions we shall be found zealous promoters of moral order and social tranquillity : convinced that these are the cherished objects of every constitutional reformer. To the Agriculturist and Trader we shall afford the earliest in formation of fairs and markets, and of all that may be considered in teresting to them. The lover of literature, also, will find us an nouncing the appearance of the most recent Works, and directing his attention to the first publications of the day. Applications for Shares to be addressed to Mr. Elgie, Solicitor, 48, Broad-street, Worcester : to whom also all communications are to be made. 30, STRAND.

This Aga was Farhat-ben-Said, r a rich and enterprising man, to whom the Sheiks under his orders were warmly attached. His influence disturbed the ; suspicious Achmet, who destituted him, and appointed his • uncle, Ben Gannah, to succeed him. The tribes refused I to recognise the new Aga, and had recourse to arms. Ach met was obliged to march against them in person, and to participate in the successive victories and reverses which, for a long time, occupied his undivided attention, and di verted him from his views on Bona—a city the possession of which he had long anxiously desired, in order to establish there a commercial emporium for the exportation of the ag ricultural production of the Beylik. The inhabitants of Bona, dreading the domination of Achmet, had repeatedly solicited the assistance of the French ; and on two occasions—in 1830 and 1831—a tem porary occupation had taken place. At length Ben Aisha, Kalifah of Achmet, succeeded in introducing hims Af:nto the place. In 1832, as is well known, Bona fell definitively into the power of the French, through the memorable bra very of the commanding officers, Armandy and Yussuf. Ben Aisha destroyed the town, gave it up to plunder, set it on fire, and carried away with him to Constantine nearly the whole of the population. On the arrival of our troops to take possession, the place offered the most deplorable spec tacle that can be imagined. After the fall of Bona the atrocities and exactions of Achmet raised a host of formidable chieftains against him. In 1832, Farhat-ben-Said had invoked the assist ance of the French against the tyrant, and sent an embassy to the Duke of Rovigo to promise him 'the support of a l l the tribes under his command. The Prince of Turgurth. the sheiks of Merjanah, of Hannasha, of the Oolad Maadi, and of Hora, have, at different periods, offered to co-ope rate in the extermination of a man who has become an ob ject of universal execration. The envoys of Sheik Farhat were received by the French authorities with marks of par ticular favour and distinction, and valuable presents were bestowed on them ; but on their return they were attacked, ill-treated, and completely stripped by the tribe of El Oofiah, who had been excited by the emissaries of Achmet. The severe vengeance which the Duke of Rovigo took of this outrage is sufficiently known. All negotiations entered into with Achmet have proved ineffectual. That conducted by the Moor Hamdam, during the administration of the Duke of Rovigo, led to no result. Achmet at first consented to pay tribute, and to recognise the sovereignty of France, on condition of being allowed to establish a custom-house at Bona ; but shortly afterwards he made fresh demands, and of so exorbitant a character that it became necessary to renounce all hope of an ar rangement. Immediately after the rupture of the negotia tions, Hamden came to Paris, announced himself openly as the agent of Achmet, and he has since assumed the same title its his intercourse with the African Committee. Hamden has had the command of large sums of money, forwarded to him by certain merchants of Tunis, and, dur ing his sojourn at Paris, it is that a multitude of artful writ ings have appeared, intended to lead astray that public opi nion lately so enthusiastic in favour of Algiers. It is very probable that Hamden has done all this, while being in reality false to Achmet, and that his object in trying to persuade France to abandon Algiers has been less to serve the interests of Achmet than to substitute the au thority of the Moors for that of the French. For a long time Achmet had looked with longing eyes on Medeah, a place of some importance, as capital of the pro vince of Tittery, and more so on account of its position, which commands both sides of the Atlas. The town was garrisoned only by the inhabitants, and he hoped to obtain possession of it without difficulty. The occupation of this place would have doubled hii power, and placed him at the very gates of Algiers ; but, on his march, he was attacked by several tribes that lay in wait for him, completely de feated, and obliged to return precipitately to Constantine. This defeat was a signal for a general revolt of the Arabs against the sanguinary authority of the Bey, which he was only by continued severity enabled to suppress. In August, 1835, on one. day, he took off seventy heads belonging to the tribe of El Amamarah, guilty of disobedience to his orders. The anthority of Achmet is not recognised throughout the whole province of Constantine ; it extends, in reality only to the tribes within his immediate reach. The others act in unison with him only in case of common danger. Achmet has forbidden the Arabs, on pain of death, to sell their produce to us, so that the whole trade of the rich province passes now to Tunis. He has agents at Tunis, at Tripoli, at Cairo, and at Constantinople. His perseverance in a struggle against a powerful nation has rendered him an object of admiration to those of his own religion, who sup port him with their prayers and their secret succours. He is known have offered to place himself under the sove reignty of the Ottoman Porte, and to pay a considerable tribute to the Sultan. These negotiations, it seems, fur nished a pretext to the Porte to demand an indemnity for the loss of its rights of sovereignty over the regency. Volumptuous to the extreme, notwithstanding his ad vanced age, and not more rich than avaricious, his insa tiable cupidity and desire find continual aliment in the women and treasures of his subjects. His varied acts of violence have reduced a multitude of the inhabitants of Constantine to seek safety in flight. Acts of the most re volting atrocity are attributed to him, and he' has crowned his crimes by the assassination of his uncle and benefactor Ben Gannah, who had sheltered his infancy and preserved his life. Public opinion attributed this murder to a desise to obtain possession of the immense fortune of the deceased. But among all the atrocities which stain the character of this barbarian, he is known to possess one quality, the more commendable as it is one of rare occurrence among the Arabs, namely, a faithful observance of a promise once made. On this point his reputation is firmly established. In IS3O, Hussein Dey said to General Bourinont, " If Achmet engages to submit to you, you may repose yourself confidently on his word ; he has never been known to break it." It is difficult to know his exact age, this being a point on which an Arab is himself seldom very correctly informed. Achmet appears to be between fifty and sixty ; his physioe ' nomy does not bear the impression of the ferocity of his mind ; his features are animated, and full of intelligence ; he is below the average height, but well formed and active, and speaks with great volubility, a circumstance of rare oc- . currence among the Arabs, who usually affect a grave and pompous diction. When our troops advanced against Constantine he sent his treasures, his harem, and even his furniture into the de sert ; he even quitted the town himself, leaving to hls Ben Aisha, the care of defending it. Nor on our retreat did he pursue us in person ; but, on his return to Constan tine, he put to death eight members of the Council who had shown themselves most favourable to a capitulation.— ilforning Post.

TOBACCO.—It is a remarkable instance of the per versity of the human will when left to itself, that while coffee, with all its singular powers of cheering the mind and refreshing the nerves, took nearly four hundred years to make itself known in Europe ; and while the potatoe is scarcely more than coming into use in a large portion of the Continent, tobacco took little more than halt a dozen years to be known as far as ships could carry it ; that it is now the favourite filth of every savage lip within the cir cumference of the globe ; that it fills the atmosphere of the continent with a perpetual stench ; that the Spaniard sucks it, as he says, for the heat—the Dutchman for the cold the Frenchman because he has nothing else to do—the German because he will do nothing else—the London ap prentice because " it makes him look like a gentleman ;.' and all because it is in its own nature the filthiest, most foolish, dullest, and most disgusting practice oa the face of the earth.—Blackwood's Magazine. A camp meeting of Primitive Methodists, or Ranters, was held on Canwick Common, Lincolnshire, on Sunday. At nine o'clock the leaders started from the chapel in Mint lane, and went singing and praying through the streets, attracting, of course, universal observation, but gaining no accession to their numbers till they arrived on the Common, where, in the course of the day, they were joined by about a hundred " sisters and " brethren." Some one or other of the members prayed, sung, and preached alternately, under the direction of a man dressed like a farmer. An old wo man held forth in prayer several times, and a tniddle-aged respectably dressed woman preached a short sermon. The elderly woman put herself in the most violent contortions of limb and feature, observing that it was hard work preaching in the open air, but that the Lord was present to help them. ~The " camp" broke up about 5 o'clock ; and the " brethren" and " sisters" afterwards adjourned to a love-feast.—Lin coin Gazette. progressed with the _ most extraordin ar y ra pidity, an d h a d reached the floor where the unfortunate individuals were, and who were imploring the assistance of the populace. It is stated that there were three females and a boy in Mr. Harris's house, who made their escape over the top of the neighbouring houses. The houses on each side are much injured, and at the back several have received serious injury. The floorings of the house where the fire commenced remain ; though the roof hangs over in a very dangerous state, being ready to fall every instant. The destruction of property of the unfortunate occupier is stated to be of great value. Mr. Harris was of the Hebrew persuasion, and Mrs. Harris is at Brighton. INQUEST ON THE BODIES. Last night, at seven o'clock, a Jury was empannelled be fore Mr. Hices, the Coroner for Westminster. The Jury having been sworn, proceeded to view the bodies of the unfortunate individuals, which presented a very distressing appearance, the features being scarcely dis cernible, while the flesh of each was almost entirely charred. The Jury having returned, received the following evidence. Robert Tozer, one of the fire brigade at the London Fire Establishment station-house, Chandos-street, Covent-garden, deposed that about four o'clock that morning he was called by a policeman, who stated that the house No. 48, Strand, was on fire. He instantly proceeded there with the engine. He found the street door open, which had been forced by the policeman. The lower part of the house was in flames, and there was a female at the second floor window. Wit ness asked her to jump out, stating that he would catch her. She refused to do so. They had the ladders with them, which tbey raised to the first floor, but the fire drove them back. By the Jury—No one escaped by the door. A fire escape was brought, but which was put up the wrong way. The brigade have nothing to do with the fire escapes. Evidence continued—They have examined the premises to ascertain the source of the fire, which appeared to have commenced in the shop. They found the bodies of Mr. Harris, his daughter, and the servant girl in the second floor. They were all huddled together under a window, and were exposed when the wall fell. Paul Gerard, another fireman, said that they have suffi cient length of ladder to reach the second floor. He took the bodies out through the next house. He placed the body of Mr. Harris in a blanket. He found the child's arms clasped round the servant. By the Jury—There was no one to direct the raising of the fire escape. There were ten or twelve attempting to raise it, and they were occupied about ten minutes in raising it. There were no party walls on either side. Anna Ford, servant to the deceased, said that she slept in the second-floor back. She went to bed about half-past eleven o'clock. She left all Mr. Samuel's family up. About four o'clock Elizabeth Windor, who slept with witness, awoke her, and said there was a fire. They both got up, and knocked at her master's (Mr. Harris's) door, which was locked. She broke open the door, when they found him running about the room, calling out " Escape." Elizabeth Windor entered. Witness took hold of a baby, which was saved. The deceased, Esther Harris, ran to witness, who, finding the fl Imes ascending, left her. Witness ran up stairs with the baby to Mr. S muel's mop], whose family had escaped by the roof of the house, in their night clothes. By the Jury—The gas on Mr. Samuel's side of the shop, which was on the left side near Mr. iiewlay's, was lighted when she went to bed. (It was here explained that Mr. Samuels occupied half of the shop.) The gas on her mas ter's side was out. The gas has escaped for some time from tl.e pipe. _ Dennis Napoleon Lavalette Ely, in the employ of Mr. Samuels, who is a lapidary, deposed that he went to bed about twelve. He left Mr. Samuels up in the back kit chen, which is his manufactory. When he heard the cry of fire he rushed down stairs and saw Mr: Harris's side of the shop on fire. Mr. Samuels' did not appear to be on fire. He made his escape through the yard, and got over the wall by a ladder. By the Jury—His master's gas pipes were always in good order. Mr. Harris was always complaining of the escape of gas. When it was defective he sent for the gas-fitter. .111 r. Samuels was next examined, but not sworn. He stated that after he had left his manufactory in the hack kitcbeo, which was about twelve o'clock, lie went into the 'front kitchen, and had his supper, and, as he is accustomed to do, read for an hour and a half.

KENYON, SEPT. l3.—Tic inquest on the body of the female ki'led by the collision of the Birmingham and Man chester train with the Bolton Railway carriages, on Satur day evening last, was held this dry. The first witness examined was Thomas Mort, one of the policemen stationed at the Bolton junction, who said that about ten minutes before seven o'clock on Saturday evening last the accident happened. The train from Bolton arrived at the station about half-past six o'clock, to await the arrival of the train from Manchester, to convey the pas sengers to Liverpool. The train from Manchester has ing arrived at the proper place, the two carriages containing passengers for Liverpool were attached to the hind part of the Manchester train in order to proceed to Liverpool. I am not sure that the Liverpool engine started before the ac cident happened. John Warburton, a platelayer, was just hooking the carriages together when I saw the Birminghatn train from Manchester coming towards us. It was at the dis tance of rec-quarters of a mile. I gave a sign 11 (by waving my hat) to the engineer of the Birmingham train to stop his enj.,e. The ergi. ear s'ackened ks speed, .1 a hen the engine was about five hundred yards from the Liverpool train, I called to the passengers to jump out of the c rives. I threw ashes on the rails iu.order to check the speed of the Birmingham train, which was, when it passed me, at the rate of about fifteen miles an hour. I was ap prehensive that the Birmingham train would run agattst the other carriages. This did happen, and the two Bolton - carriages were broken and forced off the rails. The de ceased was in the first of the two Bolton carriages. She was lying on one side, and I believe there was also a man in the same carriage. I assisted to take the deceased from the carriage, and she was not quite dead. We brought her into this place, and shortly afterwards I was told that she was dead. The bone of her left hip was broken, and it was forced through the skin. She was also discoloured about the back of the neck. The Birmingham engine was damaged so that it was obliged to be detained at the en gine -house here, in order to be repa'red, and the car riages were sant on by another engine to Warrington. There were only three carriages in the Birmingham train, and it was &et o'clock before it was sent on to Warrington. The engineer, who is k no w n by the name of Dennis, was carried into this room. I asked him, " Did you not see them, so that you could let the steam off . r" He made no reply. I afterwards heard that be was conveyed kick to Manchester by one of the trains from Liverpool. The Birmingham train carried the mail, and the guard must have been seated in his proper place on the last carriage, hut „, he would not be able to see a train before him. The regular gu :rd of the train was also iu his place ; but I am not aware that I saw any of them before the accident happened. The Birmingham engine was at a distance of 350 Yards from the Liverpool train when I began to throw ashes upon the rails, • • • When the engineer took the steam'-off, that engine was going at the rate of thirty miles an hour. The Birmingham trains do not stop at this place. The engineer, when he
