T 1 LATE MURDER AT KEXBY, AND MELA .

Ever since Pr es t r iqd, the great exertions have been used by, out Allier and H.

WHAT IS THE CONSTITUTION? Br A TBUB BRITON. London : ReVe and Fletcher, Cornhill. 1835. This- pamphlet comprises, within a compass of se venty pages, a very copious and interesting history of the origin, progressive improvement, and fundamental principles of the British constitution. The author is a Reformer of the Whig-Radical school, and undertakes to prove that all the liberal Acts passed, or proposed to be passed by the Whigs since 1830, were necessary to the re-establishment of the constitution in its pristine purity and excellence. His reasoning is forcible with out coarseness ; and his arguments are sustained by facts, and documents of unquestioned authenticity. The middling and working classes could not devote a shilling to a better purpose than to the purchase of this pamphlet. ___,--- :ON. to bY the Nvas called claim was y the same theylau l '' jection ed a s object vas no eueo parish• seen u nd e r e r 3dded• which visl )een serve u one of th e n the .evi: Lred the 11 ! no Pert )stpone bis importa.n.ce• I a decision eluded from t least three 3d he roll,' end' fur ther r)) that Mrd • re a ° su re, re not CO n the point , ;erved up on so einploYe, rson to serb Mr .

Yesterday the King, accompanied by Sir Benjamin Ste phenson, drove to Bagshot Park, and paid a visit to the Duchess of Gloucester. This afternoon his Majesty, ac companied by Lady Mary Fox, took a drive in the Park in a carriage and four. Yesterday the Queen took her usual ride in the Park. This afternoon her Majesty drove to Virginia Water, ac companied by the Duchess of Saxe Weimar and children. Lord Tullamore, Lord Amelius Beauclerk, and Sir John and Lady Pechell, had the honour of dining with their Majesties yesterday evening. This morning Lord Amelius Beauclerk, Sir Henry Wheatley, and Sir Benjamin Stephenson, took their depar ture. Yesterday Sir Andrew Barnard arrived at the Castle. To-morrow his Majesty will go to town to hold a Council, and return to the Castle in the evening. THE REGISTRATION. CHELMSFORD.—The Barristers are proceeding with the revision of claims in the two divisions of this county. From statements which we have seen of the objections made by the Reformers and Conservatives, and of the numbers men tioned, we believe there is not any material difference be tween the parties in this respect.—Essex Herald. INVERNESS.—The registrations in the county are favour able to the Conservative interest ; in the burgh the Libe ral party has received such additional strength, as to ren der their success, at the next election, almost a matter of certainty.—lnverness Courier. COUNTY OF Ross.—The result of the Registration Courts in this county is favourable to the Reform interest, there being a majority of fifteen in favour of Mackenzie of Seaforth, the Liberal candidate. COUNTY OF CAITHNESS.—After a keen contest the Li berals have enrolled nearly two to one, the numbers for Mr. Trail being twenty-seven, for Mr. Sinclair fourteen. Mr. Trail's election is considered certain, in the event of a dissolution. REGISTRATION SHILLING.-At Leeds, on Friday, Mr. Clarkson, the Barrister appointed to revise the list of voters for that borough, gave a decision to the effect that it is not necessary to pay the registration shilling. BARRISTERS' COURT FOR NORTH WARWICKSHIRE, BIR MINGHAM, SEPT. 21.—The Barristers appointed to revise the lists for the northern division of the county of War wick, Messrs. Basevi and Kenyon, commenced their circuit this day in Birmingham. During the year the Reformers have put upwards of 800 new claims upon the register, for this division of the county alone, and the Conservatives upwards of 300. The Reformers have objected to 500, and the Conservatives to 800 votes, and the overseers to 100. The Barristers took their seats at eleven o'clock, and proceeded to hear cases, but none of any interest was de cided in the course of the day. The Duke of Dorset has left Harley-street, for his seat, Drayton-house, Northamptonshire. His Grace and the family have gone into mourning for the Hon. Mrs. Sack ville Germain, Lady of the Hon. George Germain, the Duke's only brother and heir presumptive. The Duke of Buckingham has found it necessary to contradict a report that Avington Park and the rest of the Chandos estate, near Winchester, had been disposed of to a London banker. The Earl of Devon, Viscount Courtenay, of Pow derhan Castle, is putting that delapidated mansion in tho rough repair. The late Earl, who recently died in Paris, where he resided many years, had neglected the family mansion;which is built in one of the most picturesque situa tions in England, overlooking the river Exe, and the finest part of Devonshire. The present Earl has determined to restore the Castle to its original state, and, in future, to re side there. H. Elphinstone, Esq., M. P., for Hastings, is labouring under severe illness at Windmill Hill. DINNER TO MR. O'CONNELL AT GREENOCK.— Although, as we are informed, no answer has yet been re ceived from Mr. O'Connell, yet it is confidently expected he will accept of the invitation to honour Greenock with his presence. This intended festival, like those elsewhere, has it appears already attracted the notice of friends at a distance, as we learn that numerous applications, particu larly from Paisley, have been made for tickets. We like- wise understand, that in the event of Mr. O'Connell's ac ceptance of the invitation, it is in contemplation to have a soiree instead of dinner, and to devote the surplus funds to some charitable institution.—Greenock Intelligencer. The appointment of Clerk of the Journals of the House of Lords is worth about 2,000/. per annum. It is extremely probable, in consequence of Mr. Alderman Copeland's Tory votes in the late Session of Parliament, that Alderman Harmer will be set up in oppo sition to him as Lord Mayor for the year ensuing, on Mi chaelmas-day next. If a poll be demanded, there is very little doubt of the election of the latter gentleman. It is said that Mr. Osbaldiston has got Covent garden Theatre. The prices are to be 7s. and 4s. the boxes, 2s. the pit, and Is. the gallery. A meeting of the Directors of the London and Blackwall Railway was held yesterday at the office of the Company, when several resolutions were agreed to in fur therance of the object proposed. PORT OF GLOUCESTER.—A piece of land near the docks, that sold for 2,5001. sixteen years ago, realised a few days since 16,0001. HAPPY DAYS.—A paper was found after the death of Abderama 111., one of the Moorish Kings of Spain, who died at Cordova in 961, after a reign of .50 years, with these words written by himself :—" Fifty years have passed since I was Caliph. I have enjoyed riches, honours, and pleasures ; Heaven has showered upon me all the gifts that man could desire. In this long space of apparent felicity, I have kept an account of how many happy days I have passed ; their number is 14. • Consider, then, mortals, what is grandeur, what is the world, and what is life ?" The proprietors of the Emerald steamer have come to a determination to resist the payment of the Margate Pier dues, which, notwithstanding a most profitable season, the Pier Company . keep up at the rate of Is. 4d. per head for every individual landed from the steamers. The Emerald, rather than pay after that rate, carries her Margate passen gers to Ramsgate Pier, where they land free, and are sent in coaches to Margate, a distance of four miles, at the ex pense of the Emerald. A correspondent of the United States Gazette says seven-eighths of the Baltimoreans looked on the late riots with perfect indifference ! The Commissioners for inquiring into the affairs of the Post-office are now engaged in an investigation relative to the steam-packet establishments, and have directed their Secretary, accompanied by a naval officer, to make a survey of the different stations, for the pUrpose of collecting infor mation on the spot, and inquiring into the present system of management.—Falmouth Packet. " Next to the satisfaction," says a modern tourist, "of being applauded, is that of being abused." Such a morbid ambition for notice, adds his critic, at any rate re sembles that of a man who writes libels merely to stand the public gaze and being in the pillory, rather than continue the respectable but obscure blockhead he was born. According to accounts from Hayti, a considerable diminution in the commerce of the Republic had occurred last year, compared with that of the preceding, the imports amounting only to 2,117,200 gourdes (the gourde is worth rather more than half-a-crown) against 4,813,300 gourdes in 1833 ; and the exports only 1,822,900 gourdes against 4,500,000 in the preceding year. The falling-off has been generally in the commerce with England and the Hanseatic towns. CARRIER PIGEONS.—When they find themselves at full liberty, they direct their flight in circles round the spot whence they have been liberated, increasing the dia meter of the circle at every round, and rising at the same time gradually higher. This is continued as long as the eye can discern the birds, and hence we conclude that it is also continued after we lose sight of them, a constantly in creasing circle being made till they ascertain some known object, enabling them to shape a direct course. It is not a little interesting to contrast the proceedings just described with those of a pigeon let off from a balloon elevated above the clouds. Instead of rising in circles like the former, the balloon pigeon drops perpendicularly down, like a plummet, till it is able to recognise some indications of the earth be low, when it begins to wheel round and descend spirally, in creasing in diameter, for the evident purpose of surveying its locality, and discovering some object previously known by which to direct its flight. Lieutenant Friend, his Majesty's emigration agent, has received information from his Majesty's agent at Que bec, that 5,000 labourers and artificers are now wanted-at the public works in Upper Canada. The wages are under stood to be 3/. per month, with provisions.—lrisli Paper.l Low PRICE OF WHEAT.—The present very low price of wheat has induced a gentleman of the neighbour hood (who has the averages for the last 734 years by him) to refer to the prices of a few centuries ago, and it appears that Per Sack. In 1594, 1595, 1596,1597, and 15911, wheat averaged 21s. 2d. In 1647, 1648, 1649, 1650, and 1651 • 34s. lid. In the 40 years from 1791 to 1830 By the last week's return of Devizes market it aver l7s. 4d. Being the exact average of the year I 779, and lower than any year since.—Devizes Paper. The Montreal Morning- Courier gives the follow ing as a comparative statement of the arrivals, tonnage, and settlers to the 21st of August inclusive : Vessels. Tons. Settlers. 1834 731 200,596 27,930 1835 668 189,779 10,324 Difference.....: 63 10,817 17,606 The words " To be drunk on the premises," re quired by the new Act to be placed over the door of beer shops, is, to say the least of it, as silly and equivocal a specimen of legislation as could well be devised. The Cor respondent of a provincial Journal says, " I really found it difficult to convince some labouring men in Norfolk, that the beer was the thing referred to, and not 'themselves. Pointing to the sign over the door in a remote village, they maintained that, provided they strictly adhered to th terms, they might be drunk on the premises ; and I have no reason to believe that on that occasion the beer-house keeper at tempted to undeceive them." William Mosley, on whose testimony his brother Joseph, and James. Garside, were executed at Horse monger-line Gaol a short time since, for the Werneth murder, is at length on his way to America. His appear ance is that of an unhappy man, pallid, sorrowful, dejected ; his body rapidly wasting, and his general contour and de meanour, from a stout, rather robust, vivacious young man, has been hurried by the " still small voice" to a lingering, faltering gait, and a dull deserted creature. Mosley has been furnished with the means of sailing to America, and a trifle to forward him to the interior, as he prefers the capacity of a navigator to the life of anything else,. having been brought up to it, and knowing too that the spirit of canal-making is very rife in that country, besides being anxious " to go , where no person could tease him about the murder."—Macclesfield Courier. On Wednesday se'nnight, the banks of the Wye, in the neighbourhood of the Bridge, were crowded with spectators anxious to welcome the young Prince George of Cambridge to Monmouth. The church bells rang merry peals during the day, and the town wore an air of gaity in honour of the event. About four o'clock the Prince, ac companied by his tutor and another gentleman, arrived un der a salute of cheers, which he politely acknowledged. His Royal Highness appeared highly animated, and, we un derstand, expressed much delight at the beauties of the Wye tour from Ross ; be frequently desired the rowers to pause while he contemplated Goodrich Court and the other enchanting scenes that presented themselves. The distin guished party remained a short time at the Beaufort Arms' Hotel, from whence they were furnished with four fine horses to visit Tintern Abbey and Wyndcliff.—Merfin. QUICK VOYAGE.—The ship City of IVaterford, 375 tons, a regular trader to Quebec, sailed from Liverpool on the 17th of July last,. discharged, loaded a full cargo, and sailed from Quebec 27th of August, and arrived at Waterford in 20 days, having completed the voyage out and home in the short space of 59 days. She has com pleted two voyages this year in the period of four months and six days. The cholera, judging from the accounts of its fright ful ravages in Italy, is still the opprobrium of medicine, the united skill and science of Europe having as yet done nothing effectual to check its progress or to mitigate its severity. A MAN KILLED AT A BULL-BAIT.—On Mon day week one of those brutal exhibitions, a bull-bait, took place, according to annual custom, at Irlam wakes, and in the course of the day one man was killed, and another had several ribs broken by the infuriated animal, which the scarcely more rational beings in human form were torment ing. About ten minutes after the baiting commenced a drunken fellow, named. William Warburton, forced his way into the ring, from which - he was speedily ejected by Taylor, the bullward. Preparations were then made for slipping a dog at the bull, and while the owner of the dog and the, bullward were busily engaged in this task, Warburton again contrived to enter the ring, and walking up to the bull, put his fists into the animal's face. The bull, who at this mo ment had lowered his head for the purpose of receiving the dog, stuck his horns into Warburton's back, and tossed him a considerable height. The man fell to the ground, and alighted on his head and neck, and when taken up he was found to be insensible. He was conveyed to ithe Ship public-house, where he lingered until Thursday noon, when he died.—Manchester Courier. FATAL FINERY.—On Monday last an inquest was held at Linwood, near Caistor, before Mr. Marris, Coroner, on the body of Elizabeth Cooper, aged 19, servant to Mr. William Lowe, of that place, who had terminated her exist ence by taking poison. It appeared that the deceased, on Saturday afternoon, called at the shop of Mr. L'Oste, drug gist, of Rasen, and asked for a quarter of a pound of arsenic, and on being interrogated as to the pu r p ose f or w hi c h i t was wanted, she stated that it was to destroy bugs with. Mr. L'Oste knowing the girl, and observing nothing extra ordinary in her conduct or appearance, let her have the arsenic wrapped up in paper, on which was printed " Poi son." The deceased seems to have taken the deadly dose on her way home, for shortly after arriving there, she was taken very ill, and on being pressed as to the cause, she at length reluctantly stated that she had taken two penny worth of laudanum. Mr. Cumpstone, the surgeon, was subsequently called in, and it was with some difficulty that he elicited from her the fact, that arsenic had been taken. She lingered until two o'clock on Sunday morning, when she expired. It appeared from the evidence of her master, and others, that the unfortunate girl had never displayed any symptoms of aberration of mind, and although for some hours previous to her death she was perfectly sensible, and expressed a great desire to live, she did not attempt to give any reason for the commission of the rash act. The only conjecture which could be raised was, that extravagance in dress had caused her to run into debt, for which she had been put into the Court of Requests, and had led her to form the fatal resolution which she afterwards so deliberately carried into effect. The Jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict of " Felo de se," and the Coroner issued his warrant for the private interment of the body between the hours of nine and twelve at night, pursuant to the late Act of Parliament. —Chester Chronicle. CASE OF HYDROPHOBIA.—On the 26th ofJuly last a do; was observed biting at several other dogs, near the head of Leith Walk, when it was seized by a police-officer named Alexander Elder in conformity with the police re gulations then issued. In taking hold of the animal, El der was slightly bitten in the hand and leg, and, to pre vent ill consequences, the part was cauterized, and after four days' confinement he resumed his duty, apparently quite restored. He continued in this state till Monday last. He had been on duty as night watchman, and was relieved about seven in the morning, previously to which he felt rather unwell, and wished to be relieved, , but c ould not obtain it until the regular hour, when he went home and requested some tea, which, however, he could not take, as it made him sick. He then went to bed, but could not sleep, and perspired profusely. In the afternoon he again tried the tea, but no sooner saw it than he desired it might be taken away, feeling, as he expressed himself, asth matical. In the evening rigors came on, and decided symp toms of hydrophobia manifested themselves ; and arrange ments were made for conveying the unhappy man to the hospital. During the preparations for his removal, he was repeatedly attacked by the most violent spasms, the effects of which were most horrific. He could take nothing, any attempt at doing so, producing the most violent spasms. A sinapism was applied to his neck and pit of the stomach ; he felt grateful for the application, but it produced no re lief. On his arrival at the infirmary, the poor man exhi bited the most decided symptoms of the disease. When he attempted to swallow a fluid, he was instantly seized with violent convulsive spasms. He was, indeed, afraid to make the attempt, but felt anxious to do whatever was re commended, and taking hold of the iron bedstead, grasped it firmly, as if preparing for some great exertion, and then making a rapid snatch at the liquid, sucked it down by tits and starts. The patient, when interrogated, described his complaint as a cramp which began at his tongue, and from it proceeded over his whole body, and attended with a pain ful feeling at the pit of the stomach, though when the pa roxysm was over, he repeatedly stated that be was free from pain, while his mind remained throughout quite clear and collected. He answered the questions put to him quite distinctly, and theuqh not aware of the nature of the disease, yet expressed himself satisfied that he could not long survive. He continued in this state of alternate fits, of paroxysm and tranquillity till about six in the morning. when death put a period to his sufferings, being about 24 hours from his first complaining, and about 12 from the ac cury. cession of the more a l arm i ng symptoms .—C a l e d on ian Mer- THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1835.

PARIS RACES. The Races in the Champ de Mars on Sunday were brilliant, notwithstandinp; the heaviness of the ground and the uncertain state of the weather. The atmosphere wore a gloomy aspect, with but few intervals all day, and there were occasional showers of short duration ; but just as the horses were start ing for the last race (the Sweepstakes), the rain began to descend in earnest ,• however, the competitors, " nought dis mayed, held merrily on their course," and accomplished their task in gallant style. The affluence of spectators was great, and they were again honoured by the presence of the Duke of Orleans, an enthusiastic amateur and munificent patron of the turf. The first race was for his Majesty's prize, consisting of a silver-gilt cup of 1,500 fr., and 4,500 fr. in money (in all 6,000 fr.), twice round the course. Heats.

FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE. DOWNING-STREET, SEPTEMBER 7, 1835. Mr. Warrington, his Majesty's Agent and Consul-General at Tripoli, has transmitted to Lord Glenelg, his Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for the Colonial Department, an official note, of which the following is a translation, which has been addressed to Mr. Warrington by his Excellency Esseit Mustapha Nedgib (TRANSLATION. Esseit Mustapha Nedgib, by the Grace of God, Pacha Vizier of the Sublime Ottoman Porte, Lieutenant-General of Tripoli and its Dependencies, to Hanmer Warrington, his Britannic Majesty's Consul-General at Tripoli. ' SlR—During the troubles which have for three years past deso lated this country, there has arisen a ruinous abuse, which no go vernment can tolerate, that of embarking and landing merchandise and other articles at other places than the established ports. This illicit commerce, besides causing the greatest injury to, the revenue, is extremely prejudicial to lawful commerce, and to the tranquillity of the country. We, therefore, inform you, Sir, that we have given the necessary orders to several of our vessels to be ready to cruise on the coast ; .and you will accordingly have the goodness to inform those of your countrymen, and all others whom it may con cern, that henceforth all coasting traffic is expressly forbidden, and that no commercial intercourse will be allowed at any other places than the ports of Tripoli, Bengasi, And Derna ; and consequently, that from the Ist September, 1835, all vessels, boats, or craft, &c., which may be found in the prohibited places, will be seized, it being declared that the whole of this coast is, from this moment, to be regarded as in a state of blockade, excepting only the three ports above mentioned. We salute you, &c. Given at our Palace, the 9th August, 183.5. Written by the order of his Highness, (Signed) RUSTEM BEY, Secretary, &c. WHITEHALL, AUGUST 29, 1835.

BREACH OF CONTRACT.—A few evenings since a lady and gentleman were perambulating the new pier at Southampton, when on a sudden the latter disengaged her arm from that of her companion, and sprung over the para pet into the water. On the impulse of the moment the distracted gentleman offered 1001. to any person who would preserve the life of the desperate fair one. Two watermen immediately plunged in and bore the lady safely to land in a state of suspended animation, from which ,she speedily re covered ; but, instead of the 1001., the sons of Neptune were rewarded with 5/. _Dif(lou In N 7.1-17,1 v: , i- '---' •• OVERSEERS' OBJtidrtB:4 ft? - st%% -.- 1 Inspection 3d.—" Against such of theOtea:S 46;?;` ---) ' 4111 N 'R 4* 3.y.....

SIR,—In order to constitute and make the objections of Overseers sufficiently valid, to call upon parties to prove their claims, it is considered that the list signed by the Overseers should be signed by a majority of persons who are authorized to execute the duties of Overseers of the poor. (See 2 W. IV., c. 45, s. 79.) It is not sufficie•at that it be signed by the Overseers chosen in Vestry,. excepting they form a majority without the Church wardens ; sortie have attempted to quibble on the ward " execute," and say if the Churchwardens do not execute the duties of Overseers, there is no necessity for their signing the list. I beg to refer you to the 43 Eliz., c. 2, s. 1, where it is enacted, that the Churchwardens, together with four, three, or two substantial householders to be chosen, &c., &c., &c., shall be Overseers of the poor; it has been decided over and over again, that when only two Overseers are chosen by Vestry, that one Church warden at least must join to render any Act valid done by those nominated in Vestry. No rate can be valid if not signed by the Churchwardens so as to form a majority ; the same as regards all notices, whether of appeal or other wise ; therefore it is useless to quibble on the word " exe cute," when it is obvious the other Overseers cannot act without a Churchwarden. Churchwardens must execute the duties of Overseers ; they have no alternative. It is not necessary that they should perform every Act, such as collecting the Poor -rates, distributing the money, &c., &c., to be deemed executing the office of Overseer. In fact, so strong is the point, that Overseers appointed tin der 43 Eliz., c. 2, in townships and places where there were no Churchwardens in cases of appeal, were put out of Court because they were not associated in the appeal to gether with the Churchwardens, the Courts would not al low proof of there 'geino• no Churchwardens ; and to remedy such cases in future, the l 7 G. 11., c. 38, s. 15, provides that " the Overseers of the poor within any township or place where there are no Churchwardens, shall from time to time do, perform, and execute all and any the acts, powers, and authorities as Churchwardens and Overseers of the poor may do," &c., &c. Common sense implies the inten tion and meaning of the Acts, to be those whose duty it is to superintend the affairs of the poor, and not that by neglecting duties imposed by Acts of Parliament, parties should be relieved from taking part in making out the list of voters. There is also a question whether sidesmen, or sworn men, (7 sec. 1,.c. 5, s. 3,) executing the duties of over seers of the poor, ought not to sign the list. Also, visitors and guardians appointed under 22 Geo. 111., c. 83. _ . And members of a Select Vestry appointed under 59 Geo. 111., c. 12. See cases—R. v. Beeston, l Bott., 420. Doe d. Grundy, v. Clark, 14 East, 488. It has also been contended that if the words " objected to,' have been appended to the list (by a single overseer) after having been signed by the overseers, and without the concurrence of those who have previously signed the list, that such objection has not been legally made ; and that, under the 42d section, it is imperative on the whole of the overseers who have signed the list, to attend the re vising barrister to support the objection. That one cannot attend on the part of the rest, the words of the Act being, " the overseers of every parish and township, who shall have made out the list of voters, shall attend at the place of revising the list." Should the above opinions be urged, and found to be valid, the labours of the revising barristers will be consider a bly eased.—l am, Sir, Yours, &c. Ilfracombe, Sept. 19, 1835. R. W. D. EXTRAORDINARY OCCURRENCE AT BRENTEORD. On Monday, the town of Brentford was thrown into a state of the greatest excitement by an occurrence the most marvellous heard of for many years, of phieh the following arc the particulars . Mr. Wilson, the master of the New Brentford National School, on his arrival at the school-house (which is situated in the haw at the rear of the church), on Monday morning, was informed by some of his neighbours that on the previous evening (Sunday), lights had been observed moving about in the school-room. On entering the building he was much astonisbed to find the boys' slates (about 80 in number), spread all over the floor, the whole of which were, on the Saturday evening previous, left hanging up in the school room. Mr. Wilson, however, attached little importance to the circumstance, but about nit e o'clock, shortly after pray ers had been read, two of the boys, who had been into the yard at the back of the school-house, came running into the room; their countenances depicting the extreme of fright, exclaiming they had seen a ghost. Mr. Wilson at first refused to listen to their tale, but finding them persist in their statement, he questioned them very closely on the subject, when they stated that, as they were crossing the yard towards the school-room door, they observed a very tall object, atired in a white robe, moving towards them from the further end of the yard. When they got to the school-room door, they ventured to look back, when one of them saw the object enter a small building on the left side of the yard, used as a coal-shed, but the other declared it must have vanished, as upon looking round he could see nothing of it. Both agreed it had neither shoes nor stockings on, nor any covering on its head. Mr. Wilson, for some time, treated the affair as a chi mera of the boys' own imagination, but about an hour after wards he was much alarmed by a loud shrieking at the end of the school-room, nearest the door leading into the yard, close to which is a trap-door leading to a cellar about four feet in height, which has been excavated under the school room flooring for the purposes of ventilation. On reaching the spot, he found the boys much terrified, and was informed by them that the trap-door had been lifted up by the same being the two boys had stated they had seen in the yard. Mr. Wilson, considering the circumstances, if true, most extraordinary, took 10 of boys who had asserted their ob servance of the fact, and placing them in different parts of the school-room, desired them to describe, in writing, what they had seen, at the same time placing three other boys to watch the trap-door. When the boys had completed their description, Mr. Wilson compared their statements together, when, to his great surprise, he found eight of them agreed in every particular, and in a few minutes afterwards the bOys placed on watch shouted out, " Here, here, master I " and at the same moment, the whole of the boys, uttering a si multaneous scream, rushed out of the school-room into the street, followed, it is reported, by the master. The report of a ghost having taken possession of the school-house spread like wildfire through the town, and in a short time the building was surrounded by hundreds of persons. The boys having informed Mr. Wilson the reason of their screaming, was their again seeing the trap-door raised and a wet stick shook at them by the same mysterious being, that gentleman proceeded to the Savings Bank, where he narrated the whole circumrtances to 'Colonel Clitlicrow, the Chairman of the Bench of Magistrates, who imme diately. accompanied Mr. Wilson to the school house, when on examination the trap-door was found fastened down. Mr. Winekworth, a carpenter, was then sent for, on whose arrival a large portion of the flooring was taken up, and several boys and men descended with candles into the cellar beneath, which extends the whole length of tin! building. After groping about for some time they found a cap (which is reported to have contained a quantity of hair), and a pocket handkerchief marked C. T., but they could not find any trace of the being stated by the boys to have been seen by them. The bottom of the cellar was co vered by wet mud, at least six inches deep, but too soft to have retained footmarks. Search was afterwards made throughout the yard, which is surrounded by .a wall up wards of 10 feet high, tie coalsh e d, & c ., b u t no thi n g was . . _ found to elucidate the mystery in which the whole affair Is at present involved. The cellar has no communication with the outside, but by the trap-door in the school-room. Throughout yesterday the excitement was, if any thing, increased, crowds from the adjacent villages coming to view the place, and but • few of the boys ventured to enter the school-room, those few being compelled to go by their parents. The township authorities and the Magistrate have adopted every means in their power to unravel the mystery and to find out who the mysterious stranger is, and, should they succeed, we trust whoever it may be they will meet the reward due to their ingenuity. EXECUTIONS IN FRANCE.—MC man and his wife named Henri, condemned to death at the last Chartres Assizes for parracide, were recently executed in that town. It will be remembered that they in one night killed the father, mother, and brother of the female prisoner. Their execution took place at nine o'clock, and they were only informed about two hours before that they were to suffer death that day. The information did not appear to cage a great degree of excited feeling in the prisoners, but whet the executioner was preparing the female prisoner to quit her cell to proceed to the scaffold, she exclaimed, " Oh, my poor head ! Oh, my poor children ; How could I have married such a monster as that ?" The two prisoners had not seen each other since their condemnation, and his wife could not forgive Henri for having accused her of a partici pation in the murders. Previously to their being placed in the vehicle which conveyed them to the place of execution, their heads were covered with black cowls and their bodies enveloped in white wrappers. Just as Henri was ascend ing the carriage his cowl slipped off his head, and seeing his wife near him he exclaimed with a deep sigh, " My poor little wife 1" Previously to execution they embraced each other with great affection, and died with much firmnes s . . 1
