' -'V kJWi tSt GRANTON HARBOUR. sui_ TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. perceive that in two of your late papers, you ad vocate the formation of a harbour at Granton on the Frith of Forth, and promise us more arguments on the same subject. As a Scotchman, I cannot but feel that this pro ject is one of the deepest interest to my country, and cal culated above all others to advance its prosperity ; but, Mr. Editor, to obtain this benefit to its full extent, it must be coupled with another enterprise, which has already been be fore the public, but has sustained a parliamentary defeat, ;:i.wing to a com bi nation of canal interests, which presses like an incub us upon the spirit of improvement moving in ale great communities of Glasgow, Paisley, and Leith. You will be aware that I allude to the proprietary of the Forth and Clyde, and Union Canals. This body has, in spite of the decided and universal sentiment prevailing in favou r of railroads, and unawed by the rivalry and rapid p ro gress of th e Cl arence ra i lway b etween Newcastle and Carlisle, continued to offer an unrelenting opposition to the railway projected in 183 0 , between Leith, Edinburgh, and Glasgow in a word, a work which would unite the estua ries of the Forth and Clyde, as the Clarence does , the , -. 3 11 e and Solway, and bring together, as is common to onth, the commerce of the North Sea and Western Europe, wit h . the Atlantic and States of America.

Who the author may be we know not, but who ever he is, he shows in every line that he possesses the true poetic sensibility. The lines marked in italics strike us as being eminently beautiful. The allusion, in particular, to the tenantless little cot ; the yearning of the young spirit after the recollected slumber on the maternal bosom ; and indeed the angelic purity and tenderness that pervade the whole poem, are unsurpassed by anything even in Cowper's Address to his Mother's Portrait.] Mother, I've lain upon thy lulling breast, And felt thy gentle breathing on my brow ; My little frame is in the earth at rest, But my young spirit hovers near thee now. I cannot leave thee, though on ev'ry beam A beckoning angel hails me front above ; (Sleep, mother, sleep, I'm with thee in thy dream ;) Oh ! e'en for them I cannot leave thy love, Thou who wouldst murmur to me till I crept Into thy blameless bosom, where I slept. There is my little cot—no tenant now Presses its pillow—all is still as death The night-light gleams like moonbeams on her brow, Her lips apart are rosy with her breath, Moveless is that white arm on which I've lain, And veil'd that bosom where I used to rest. See, see, a tear from the fair lid has stray'd, Mother ! sweet mother ! thy young boy is blest ; He lies no longer near thy beating heart, But thou and he will ne'er be far apart ! MIDDLESEX OCTOBER SESSIONS. (Before B. ROTCH, Esq., Chairman.) The adjourned session was fixed for this day. There were no cases to be tried, or appeals to be heard. COUNTY COURT. The Magistrates subsequently sat in committee respecting the finance department ; the county-rate and expenditure ; the state of the prisons ; the Weights and Measures Act, &c. The following important document, which has long been required to be publicly known, was submitted. It may be re collected that great dissatisfaction has long existed at the high amount, as well as the modes of expenditure, of the county rate ; and that in the more wealthy parishes at the west end of the town it was asserted that the Middlesex justices had the whole control of the expenditure. The account is made out for 12 months in 1834 and 1835. It should call forth the close investigation of every rate-payer. CHARGES STRICTLY WITHIN THE CONTROL OF THE JUSTICES.

The revising barristers for the western division of Glocester gave a decision on Thursday respecting the claims of foresters in the forest of D can to vote. The party claiming showed an uninterrupted possession of the pro perty for 60 years, during which time the title of himself and ancestors had not been disputed by the Crown. On the other hand it was contended that no length of posses sion could bar the right of the Crown, to whom the greater part of the forest of Dean belongs. The revising barristers decided in favour of the claimant. THE PACHA OF MANY TALES, BY TIIE AU THOR OF " PETER SimPLE."- - Not one of the " Many Tales" told to the tale-seeking Pacha but contains within itself a fund of amusement, wit, and humour. In them almost every foible incident to human nature is exquisitely satirised, and they are connected with each other by one of the most humourous inventions that ever provoked risibility These volumes will contribute as much to the already splendid reputation of the author, as they will to the un alloyed gratification of all classes of readers. , - - THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, OCTOPER 15. 1. COURT CIRCULAR. The Landgravine of Hesse Homburg, attended by Mdlle Stein, left the residence of the Duke of Cumberland, in St. James's Palace, at three o'clock yesterday afternoon, for Frogmore Lodge, the residence of the Princess Augusta. The Landgravine afterwards proceeded to Windsor Castle to dine with their Majesties. Prince George of Cambridge left town on Tuesday, on a visit to the King and Queen, at Windsor Castle. Prince Ernest, of Philipsthall, attended by Lord Elphin stone, visited Drury-lane Theatre last evening. Viscount Melbourne left town last evening for the seat of the Earl and Countess Cowper, at Panshanger, Herts. Mr. Burge, Agent for Jamaica, Lord Glenelg, and Colonel Macleod, had interviews with his Lordship, at the Treasury, in the afternoon. NOurri Effendi, the Turkish Minister, transacted business yesterday at the Foreign-office. Lord Holland left Holland House yesterday for Rich mond. Despatches from the Earl of Gosrord, Governor of the Canadas, were received yesterday at the Colonial-office. WINDSOR.-WEDNESDAY. Their Majesties, accompanied by the Duchess of Saxe- Weimar, returned to the Castle from St. James's at six o'clock last evening. In the course of the eveninc , the following distinguished personages also arrived :—Lord Denbigh, Lord and Lady Mayo, Lord F. Fitzclarence, Sir H. and Lady Taylor, Capt. Campbell, Lord Elphinstone, and Mdlle D'Este. This evening the Landgravine and the Baroness De Stein are expected to arrive at the Castle. Their Majesties took their accustomed exercise in the Park this afternoon in open carriages. The King was ac companied by Lady Falkland, and the Queen •by the Duchess of Saxe-Weimar. On Monday her Majesty and suite will visit Oxford. The Royal party will take up their abode at the Angel Inn. After visiting the Colleges and various buildings of that ancient city, her Majesty will proceed on the following day to Woodstock, Blenheim Palace, and Strathfieldsaye ; at the latter place her Majesty will spend the evening and following day, and on Thursday the Royal party will re turn to the Castle. Great preparations are making on the line of road to greet her Majesty. plans, however, have, it is rumoured, met with obstacles. King Frederick William, on the proposal being made to him, inquired whether Prince William might not, on his union with the Princess Olga, obtain that part of the king dom of Poland which is under the sceptre of the Czar ? This suggestion seemed to be very displeasing to the Em peror Nicholas, who has no intention of relinquishing his hold on Poland, neither have the .Poles any greater desire to be under the dominion of a Prussian Prince than to re main under that of Russia. The Archduke Charles has frequently assured his daughter that she should not be sa crificed to political views, and that she should be allowed to consult her own feelings in the choice of a husband. The Princess Theresa does not appear to have any inclination to live in Russia ; and if she should refuse the hand of a Russian Prince, she will certainly not offend her father."— Galianards Messenger. On Saturday, as Mr. Trefusis, brother to the Right Hon. Lord Clinton, was on a shooting excursion in the neighbourhood of Huish, with Mr. Smith, his Lordship's steward, Mr. Smith's gun accidentally exploded, and p ar t o f the contents was lodged in Mr. Trefusis' thigh. We are happy to state the gentleman was not seriously wounded, and is in a fair way of recovery.—Sherborne Journal. TANNIN.-At the Monthyon meeting of the French Academy, Dr. Toulmouche presented a memoir relative to the action which plants containing tannin have upon the neutralisation of tartrate of antimony and potash, and on the consequences resulting from this action, which are en tirely contrary to those already admitted. ENTOMOLOGY.—M. Vallot, of Dijon, has com municated to the French Academy of Sciences, a paper on a new species of Tinea, the larva of which feeds on the flowers of the Vicia eracca, and which he consequently names Tinea eraccella. The singular form of the mantle covering the sheath in which the larva undergoes transformation, is the same as that observed by Reaumur and Geoffroy on the leaves of the oak ; but, as the perfect insect is very different,, Vallot supposes it to be a new species.

A great quantity of cattle were washed into the sea. LIVERPOOL, COTTON-MARKET, OCT. 13.—The business done in cotton to-day is unimportant. On Saturday morning week, Captain James Robin son, in the Cherub sloop, trading between Hull and Ferry on-the-Trent, while riding anchor abreast of Witton, on the river Humber, caught, on Witton-sand, a very large fresh water eel, weighing four stone seven pounds, six feet seven inches long, and girth twenty-two inches.—Hull Observer. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—Sunday morning, constable Howie, T 100, on duty at Strand-on-the-Green, Chiswick, observed something floating on the river, which, on examination, he discovered to be a man's body. ,It was drawn ashore, and conveyed to the Bull's Head, when it was found life was quite extinct. The deceased was discovered to be a Mr. Wheeler, residing at the water-side at Ham mersmith, who it is supposed had been drinking on Saturday, and accidentally fell into the water on his return home. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. AD. NEWMARKET SECOND 0 CTOBER MEETING. Tuesday Night. Further particulars of this day's races : First Class Plate—Colonel Peel's colt made running_to the top of the hill, where Marmalade challenged, and the two:wer e clear of the ruck before they reached the cords ; a very fine race ended in favour of the filly by a neck. Lord Berner's colt and Annalinc were at the fag end of a tolerably long tail. Second Class Plate.—After• some delay, occasioned by the restiveness of the Varro filly, Posthaste took the lead at a good pace, and although cloiely pressed by Calantha for the last fifty yards, maintained it, and won by a head ; the last five were beaten off. A very strange and melancholy suicide recently oc curred at Milnthorpe, Leicestershire. Mr. John Benton, yeoman, of Whassett, in a fit of temporary derangement, descended into a well. He was seen and followed by his brothers, who found him supportint , himself by the stones linear the top of th water. They bad some parley with him to persuade him to re-ascend, but he refused and plunged in. They lowered a rope to him, but he refused to take hold it, and before they could descend and get him out he was quite dead. FATAL CATASTROPIIE.--FIVE LIVES LOST ON THE SHANNON.—Yesterday as Mrs. Gamble of Kilgar vey, near Borris-o-kane, was crossing the Shannon in a cot from the Tipperary side to the county of Galway, in com pany with her son, Mr. Edward Campbell, together with her two daughters, and a Doctor Noonan, who was about to be married to one of her daughters, the cot upset about half way across, and, melancholy to relate, the whole party pe rished, save the cot-man, who contrived to swim to shore. Nothing could exceed the consternation which the loss of this entire family caused in the neighbourhood where they lived, as they were much beloved and resilected.—Dublin Evening Mail. Clearwell Stakes.—Marmalade made running, followed by Slane, the Sandbeck colt, Alfred, and two or three others ; Ellis lying in the ruck. By the time they had completed two-thirds of the distance, Slane and the Sandbeck colt tired, and gave way to Ellis, who went up to the mare, defeated ber as soon as they were within the cords, and won cleverly by a length ; Slane and Alfred were about two lengths.behind Mar malade, the former having about a neck the best of it, but the others were beaten some distance from home. Only two were placed by the Judge. Previous to the races the following blood stock were sold : BROOD MASSES.

Whilst descending the pit by the rope, along with another miner, and when at or near the bottom of the pit, the en gine went off by some accident, at which moment Goold's companion leaped off in perfect safety, but Goold held on for fear of making the leap, and on ascending with awful rapidity, was heard to exclaim, " God have mercy on my soul !" and the next moment was whirled over the top of the wheel, and dashed down to the bottom of the pit, which terminated his existence in a moment. Goold has left a wife and family, to lament the loss of an industrious and affectionate husband and father.—Edinburgh Evening Courant. 7 20 Previous to his race this afternoon Slane was backed at 1-3 and 20 to 1. At the Jockey Club dinner this evening, were Colonel Peel (in the Chair), Dukes of Rutland and Grafton ; Lords Exeter, Jersey, Verulam, G. Bentinck, Li c hfi e ld, C.

Betting-2 to 1 agst Swallow, 22 to 10 agst Glama, 4to 1 agst Juliana, and 5 to 4 on two agst the field. Shamrock and Swallow made running till near the cords, where Juliana and The Glama singled themselves out, ran a beautiful race home, and finished with a dead heat ; Agnes and Musquito were fifth and sixth, and Madcap last. Second Heat.—Even Betting, Glama for choice; Juliana won by a head, after a severe race. PAVILION THEATRE. On Monday night Elton made his first appearance this season, in the character of Lear, and drew a crowded house. It was a respectable rather than a happy effort ; but the gods applauded most uproariously, and the tragedy was announced for repetition on Thursday. The interlude of the Tinker Lord introduced Mr. Oxberry for the first time to an eastern audience, as Toby Kettleborough. He kept the house in a roar, and the piece and the actor were most favourably received. A nautical drama 'yclept Jack's Delight finished the night. It abounds with a variety of well-contrived incidents ; and for situation, plot, and dia logue, it ranks with the generality of pieces of the same caste. Farrell sustained the hero, Jack Sprightly, with in finite spirit and whim. On Tuesday Elton assumed the part of Othello, and sustained it throughout with great force and feeling. Cobham's Ingo was a good portraiture of the wily ancient ; and, with one or two exceptions, the other parts were respectably performed. Her Majesty's visit to Drury-lane, to witness Mac ready's Macbeth, attracted 600/. on Monday night. The Lords of the Treasury have been pleased to nominate'Sir Edward Buckton, fourth clerk at the Long- Room, Hull, to be collector of his Majesty's Customs at Bathurst, River Gambia, West Africa ; and Mr. Mat thew Davenport, late of the Market-place, to be Sub-Col lector at Digby, port of New Brunswick. Earl Cowper has left Pansanger, on a visit to the Duke of Devonshire at Chatsworth. Lord and Lady Aylmer arrived in his Majesty's ship Pique, from Quebec, at Plymouth on Monday last. _ _ General Count and Countess Sternburgh and suite arrived at Mivart's Hotel the day before yesterday, from Vienna. Countess Sebastiani has left Manchester House, on a visit to the Earl and Countess of Tanxerville, at Chil lingliam Castle, Northumberland. The Hon. Lady Bedingfield has left her peaceful retreat in the Nunnery, at Hammersmith, to pay a visit to her brother, Lord Stafford, at Brussels. Sir Henry and Lady Bedingfield accompany her Ladyship. Lord Caledon's tenantry in Armagh and Tyrone presented an address to that Nobleman, with a silver salver, value 200 guineas, at Caledon House, last week. The ad dress expressed their gratitude for his paternal protection and kindness as a landlord. _ The Lieutenant-Governorship of Pendennis Castle, vacant by the death of Colonel Loftus Gray, will not, it is understood, be filled ; and the appointment of Governor of the Castle, at present held by Major-General Anderson, C. 8., will, it is expected, also be abolished after the life time of that officer. RUMOURED MARRIAGE IN HIGH LlFE.—New market October Meeting, in addition to the usual matches made there, has produced a report that a certain sporting Earl is about to be united to a Dowager Marchioness. His Lordship is in his 41st year, the lady somewhat older, but of great personal beauty. ST. LEONARD'S.—WC have had an increase of visitors of rank within the last fortnight, but this place con tinues dull as compared with preceding seasons. The fol lowing are amongst eur last arrivals, via.:--The Earl and Countess of Cork, Sir Stratford and Lady Canning, Vis count Newry, Lady Selina Needham, Lady Kilmorey, Hon. Archdeacon Pakenham and family, Lieut.-Colonel Barnewell, Sir Francis Sykes, Hon. and Rev. Richard Bogle, &c.

DEPARTURES—Mr. Justice and Lady Lit tledale, for Cheltenham ; the Lord Bishop of Clogher and Lady Robert Tottenham and family, for Woodstock ; Sir John and Lady Shelley, and Col. Maxwell, for Orchardton, Castle Douglas, &c. THE HAGUE, OCT. 9.—His Majesty the King arrived here yesterday from the Loo. The University of Leyden has sustained another severe loss by the death of Henry Arendt Hamaker, Professor of the Oriental lan guages, who was carried off by a severe illness of a few days only, in the 46th year of his age, only a week after the death of his beloved wife. DUBLIN, 0cT.12.--The Marquis and Marchioness of Lansdowne and Lady Louisa Fitzmaurice arrived at the Viceregal Lodge on Saturday, on a visit to their Excel lencies. The dinner party at the Viceregal Lodge, on Sa turday, consisted of the Marquis and Marchioness of Lans downe and Lady Louisa Fitzmaurice, Mr. and Miss Spring Rice, Sir Guy and Lady Campbell, Lord Morpeth, Mr. S. E. Spring Rice, Mr. Macdonald, and the members of his Excellency's family. The Attorney-General will be here on Tuesday, and the Speaker of the House of Commons and Mr. La bouchere are expected about the end of the week. We hope that, under the auspices of these eminent individuals, assisted as they will be by the Lord Advocate, the long pending disputes between Edinburgh and Leith may be a djusted in a way satisfactory to all parties.—Scotsman. The sale by auction of the. personal property of the late. Earl of Devon, in Paris, finished on Thursday.. The book.; formed the last item, and went high. I)odsley's Annual Register (74 vols.) brought between 700 f. and 750 f. (28/. to 301. British). The jewels, which were fine and in great quantity, sold cheap. The produce of the en tire sale is variously reported at from 30,000/. to 60,000/. British, all of which, with other property, in all, it is said, 100,000/. or 120,000/., goes to his Lordship's butler. ROYAL MARRIAGES.—A letter of the 7th inst. from Frankfort has the following :—" It is said that during eie conferences at Toplitz two marriages were proposed, w ith a view of drawing still closer the alliance between Russia, Prussia, and Austria. The Emperor Nicholas has demanded for his eon, the hereditary Prince, who is about 18, the hand of the Archduke Charles's daughter, who is 17, and offered to unite his daughter, the Princess Olga, with Prince William, the King of Prussia's nephew. These .. - MUNICH, OCT. I.—The King will arrive here to morrow. Our October fetes begin on the 4th. We never had such a concourse of strangers here as at this moment ; there are nearly 10,000 English, French, and Italians. Visitors are flocking in from the other German States and from our provinces, so that by the commencement of the fetes we may reckon that there will be 40,000 guests here. Our magistrates spare no expence to enhance the splendour of the fetes.—German Paper. AMSTERDAM, OCT. 7.—The fourteen persons ac cused of having taken part in the disturbances in the Heeren-market are to be tried before the Court of Assizes of this province, probably in the sitting of Monday next. We learn that a Commission has lately met here, the object of which is to propose and arrange everything that is neces sary for putting the Palace of Sustier in a good state of re pair. The result will be, that as soon as the building is fitted up and properly furnished, the Courts of Justice at AmSterdam will have suitable aecommodations. FRANKFORT, OCT. B.—The immense number of English visitors assembled in the city of Baden, for the be nefit of the baths, has just been broken up, and put to flight in a most sudden manner, although a great portion had pre viously determined on making a long stay at that watering place. The following occurrence has led to this unexpected departure :—A young English nobleman, belonging to the elite of London aristocracy, had brought with him two sport ing dogs of considerable value, which were seized by a field ranger, for a supposed breach of the Game Laws. The officer, instead of. taking possession of the animals, shot them both in the presence of their master. We under stand that one of the dogs had cost 100 and the other 50 guineas. The young nobleman, supported by the entire of the English residents, presented a complaint to the Grand Duke of Baden, and insisted on the dismissal of the over officious gamekeeper. This request was instantly complied with, and the English visitors seemed perfectly satisfied. However, strange to say, two days had hardly elapsed when the gamekeeper was publicly re-instated in his former em ployment, without any reason being given for this singular revision of the Grand Duke's decision. The English resi dents viewed this as an insult offered to them generally, and they accordingly came to the determination of quitting Baden forthwith. They set out in various directions, and a considerable number have arrived here.—Extract from a Private Leiter. When Madame Schrceder Devrient was at Breslow in July last, 'the Opera House, although the prices were doubled and trebled, and the season was a very bad one, was filled to overflowing every night she performed. After her last appearance a musical chorus conducted her car riage, by torch-light, to her own abode, before which a se cond chorus awaited her. The musical union then sere naded her, surrounded by a countless multitude. The drama of L' Auberge des Adrets, or Robert Maraire, will be brought out Covent-garden next week ; and Mr. Fitzball is also preparing a drama for the opening week. It is estimated that the house, at the reduced scale of prices of admission will, when quite full, hold about 450/. nightly. THE QUARTERLY DlVlDENDS.—Yesterday the payment of the dividends upon those securities, the transfer books of which have been closed for some weeks past, com menced at the Bank of England. The attendance on the part of the public to receive the interest upon their Stock was not so numerous as has been remarked on many previ ous occasions. The dividends now in progress of payment are upon Bank Stock, Reduced Annuities, the Three-and a-Half per Cents., the Reduced Three-and-a-Half per Cents., and Long Annuities. RE-EXPORTATION OF ENGLISH GOLD.---WC are assured, upon the best authority, that the House of Messrs. Douglas, Robinson, and Co., of this city, have sold to persons returninc , to the " old country," since the Ist of the month up to the present period, English gold, the ag gregate amonnt of which forms a sum of 7,436/.—Nclu York Commercial Advertiser, Sept. 18. The gay young officers of Plymouth Garrison talk of having amateur theatricals during the whole winter, for the benefit of various charities in Devonshire. LITERARY INTELLIGENCE.—Among the novel ties announced by Mr. Bentley, we observe a new work of fiction from the pen of the popular author of " The Subal tern." It is called " Chronicles of Waltham." In this Mr. Gleig opposes the doctrines of Miss Martineau, and his own views of the rural population at the present moment are understood to be very important. Mr. H. Lytton Bul wer's " Monarchy of the Middle Classes" will shortly ap pear. A new work is announced from the pen of the suc cessful author of " The Heiress," entitled " Agnes Searle." This sparkling writer reminds of the witty and graceful productions of Miss Burney and Miss Austen. A volume of Tales and Fables, suggested by the Frescoes of Pompeii, is advertised, with twenty-four engravings, from the original paintings lately discovered among the interesting remains of the Buried City. A new edition of that charming book, " The Tales of the Peerage and the Peasantry," edited by Lady Dacre, is about to appear, and a new w o r k f rom th e pen of Mr. Power, the comedian, to be entitled " Im pressions of America," is announced. We may expect much drollery from the well-known humour of this agree able writer. We have a file of the Boston Transcript. Ruez, the pirate, who had been twice respited, once for 60 and again for 30 days, on the plea of insanity, had been hanged on the 12th ult., and evinced the utmost terror at the place of execution. It was generally believed his insanity was pretended from the first. MILITARY INQUIRY AT CARLOW.—The Lord Lieutenant, acting upon a memorial from some inhabi tants of Carlow, containing charges of riotous and disor derly conduct against a portion of the military stationed there, directed Sir Edward Blackeney to issue an order to the Commanding Officer to hold an immediate investi gation. In consequence Captains Smith and Campbell, Lieutenant Ward, and several county Magistrates have been engaged in an inquiry since Monday. The defence of the military was entered upon on Thursday. The Rev. Mr. Maher, Parish Priest, attended as the leading agent on the part of the complainants. The investigation was strictly private. SMITHFIELD.—The cruelty exercised towards that noble animal the horse, on Fridays, at Smithfield, is abso lutely beyond all credence. Hundreds of poor jaded and wind-broken animals may be seen furiously driven to and fro, to show their paces to some brute of a costermon g er, and after b e i ng h un t e d a b ou t th e w h o le o f the day without food, they are driven to their sorry homes (if not purchased by the horse-slaughterer) in a state of miserable exhaustion. On Friday evening last one of these wretched animals sunk from sheer hunger on Blackfriars-bridge, and lay there until the pole-axe relieved it of its sufferings ! The new Act of Mr. Pease seems as yet to have effected very little good. The Notizie del Giorno of Rome, of the Ist inst., announces that the stupendous works of Tivoli, for divert ing the channel of the Arno through a tunnel in the Monte Catillo, being now completed, the Pope will proceed to that city on the Gth instant, for the purpose of being pre sent at the deviation of the channel of the river on the fol lowing day. In the evening there will be a magnificent discharge of fire-works on the top of Mount Catillo. The same journal announces that a violent hurricane at Mes- A terrible exhibition took place last week at Ro gent-le-Rostron, in the Chartrain. Ten dogs, two bears, and a large ass, were all pitted together, to fight in the market-place of that town, which was inclosed for the oc casion with waggons, carts, &c., and an immense crowd of spectators were present to witness the disgusting scene. All on a sudden a panic prevailed through the crowd, on observing that one of the bears was no longer muzzled ; although the keepers speedily interfered, and assured the spectators that there was no real danger, having mastered the animal, the terror inspired was so great, that carts, waggons, everything, were upset, and the market-place presented a scene of unparalleled confusion. Numbers were very seriously hurt, and it is hoped that this somewhat se vere lesson will cure the inhabitants of Rogent-le-Rostron of a partiality for the sports of bear-baiting, which they are apt to consider, in France, is an amusement peculiarly English. SUDDEN DEATH.—Yesterday afternoon, between three and four o'clock, a female about twenty-two years of age,* whose clothing and general appearance would induce a belief that she was respectably connected, staggered into the house of Mr. Gill, a bootmaker, in Thatched House row, Lower-street, Islington, and, after uttering the words " Oh dear me !" fell down. Mr. Gill finding her insensible, rendered her such assistance as he and his wife considered advisable. He also sent off for several medical men, but before any one arrived, which was as quickly as possible, the poor creature breathed her last. She was conveyed to the vaults of Islington Church, in which she now lies to be owned. The following is her description :—Five feet four inches high, dark hair and eyes, dark merino dress, white straw bonnet with white .ribbon upon it, a scarlet shawl, linen marked "I. F., No. 5." On her person was found a silver hatch, with a guard chain, a red silk purse containing 20s. 6d., a pair of silk gloves, a black silk reticule, in which was a silver pencil-case. She had in an umbrella two chil dren's lace caps, and a few apples and cakes, from which circumstance it would appear she was going to visit some children. On Friday evening last, about nine o'clock, a young man about 22 years of age, suddenly rushed into the om nibus' called the Algerienne, when in the village of Thermes, near the Barriere du Roule, France, and having, exclaimed " I never believed that th e y wan t e d to take my life," sunk down senseless, covered with his blood. On the carriage arriving at a traiteur's, the body was taken into a billiard-room, and every exertion made to restore anima tion, but life was extinct. Upon an examination entered into on Saturday morning, it appeared that he had re ceived two wounds in the breast and three in the back, from a poinard or sharp instrument. He was dressed in black, and appeared to be of the class of foremen of manufacto ries. Some money was found in his pocket. Numerous witnesses were examined, from whose testimony it appeared that he arrived in Paris from Normandy on Wednesday, and had been induced to go to Neuilly, probably on some business, and was assailed on the road. On being first struck he called out for help, and even knocked at several doors for protection, but all were closed against him. The police are in search of the murderers, but they have not yet been discovered. [According to a judgment pro nounced on Saturday, by the Court of Cassation at Paris, the omnibuses called Algeriennes cannot be permitted either to stop, or to'slacken their pace, for the purpose of taking up or setting down passengers.] SINGULAR AND FATAL ACCIDENT.--Yesterday week an inquest was held before Mr. Rutter, at Little Hulton, on view of the body of Sarah Halliday ,a woman about 29 years of age , who was killed by a most singular accident, in a coal-pit at Hilton-lane. It appears that women are employed in the pits in this district to drag the coals in tubs from the place where they are got by the miners to the eye of the pit, where the tubs are fixed to a rope, and drawn up to the bank. The women thus em ployed have a leathern belt fixed round their waists, in the front of which is a hook, and to this hook a chain about three-quarters of a yard long is affixed, which passes be tween their legs, and the other end is attached to the wag gons on which the tubs are drawn. On Wednesday morn ing the deceased was thus employed, in drawing coals for a miner named Joseph Crompton. She had drawn a tub to the pit's eye, and attached it to the rope, when, by some unexplained accident, the chain by which she had dragged the waggon caught the tub as it was ascending, and she was drawn up by it, hanging the full length of the chain below the tub. She called out to the banksman to lower the tub, and he, suspecting her situation, did so, but rather too rapidly at first. She then called out to' him to go slower, which he did, but by some means the chain by which she hung slipped off the hook of her belt, and she fell to the bottom of the pit (it is believed a distance of thirty yards), and was killed on the spot. The unfortunate woman had been twice before caught in the same way, but was lowered to the bottom on both occasions without the slightest in jury. —Manchester Courier. DEATH PROM EIRE ARMS.—TO the numerms and fatal accidents which we have recently had to mention, we regret to have to add one in our own immediate neigh bourhood. Yesterday, October 9, about half-past four o'clock, the family of Robert Rogers, Esq., of Lee View , were alarmed by the report of fire-arms in the house, 'and on Mr. Rogers proceeding up stairs to ascertain the cause, he found his third son Mr. Michael Rogers, stretc'Aed on the floor of his room, bathed in blood, and in the ',est strug gle of dissolution. The shock which he recei:fed from the appalling spectacle our readers can imagine more easily than we can describe. The son, whom but a short time before he had seen in health and vigour, was breathing in blood and agony the few faint gasps of a life that was rapidly eb bing to a close. Immediately measures were taken for af fording him relief, bu tin vain : the wound was fatal, and in less than five minutes he expired. The cause of this me lancholy event, an event which has deprived an amiable and estimable young man of life, and plunged his family in sudden and sore affliction, is supposed to have been some incaution in the handling of a fowling-piece, which he was preparing for a shooting excursion on which be was to have set off that morning. He was probably engaged in. clean ing it at the moment of the discharge, for part of the cloth which he used for that purpose was driven into the wound. The shot entered under the breast, part of it passing near the heart, and ascending upwards. An inquest was held on the body on the above evening, and the,Jury returned the following verdict :—We find and present that the de ceased Michael Rogers came by his death from a wound inflicted upon his breast by the accidental discharge of a fowling-piece, when deceased was in the act of cleaning it, for a shooting excursion, which he was about to make to morrow with his father." Mr. Rogers, who was brother of our newly elected Sheriff, was, we believe, about 19 years of age. Of manners frank and generous, in disposition open and amiable, he was esteemed by all his companions, and his melancholy and unexpected end has created a general and deep-felt sympathy.—Cork Southern Reporter.
