The treaty assigns to the United States a larger por tion of land than even her wildest claims, when put into a tangible form, ever before ventured to ask ; and, in addition to this kind and liberal dealing with the American Government, Lord Ashburton has conceded tine free navigation of the St. John, through our colony of New Bruns wick, to its very mouth. In addition to this valuable concession, which may be turned against us whenever the Power for whose special advan tage it is granted is disposed to annoy us, or to encroach upon our territory, the treaty gives up a disputed point on Lake Champlain to the Ameri can Government; and most absurdly recognizing it, as , though founded in justice and ascertained fey an application of the principle on which ihe o:iginai treaty of 1783 defined the boundary of :he two countries,p/edges the British Govern me::..: to pay to the Government of the United States, the amount of monies received under the name of The Disputed Territory Fund;" as Ithough we had, during the period which has elapsed since the territory was in dispute, been wrongful possessors, and were equitably liable to the American Government for the amount of • " rents and profits" which we had received, or the State of Maine might have received or de " rived, from the land in question during that - ,Period. No wonder that the Americans have . leteti and feasted Lord Ashburton!--that his 'lr r ordship has become the idol of their praise—a . . .p.!rteet pattern of future negotiators! STANDARD.—The Morning Chronicle ofd •this day has a most warlike article upon the American treaty, charging the Ministers not very obscurely with having sacrificed the iute ' rests and honour of the empire, from fear of a quarrel the United Stat e s. Such a charge is ...• • ri grave one.- Peace is no doubt a blessing above adipriee—except the sacrifice of honour awl se : icarity • but honour and security are more pre - tions than peace, if for no other reason , for this, ' that Without them peace itself must be pre c:triottS. The charge, then, which the Morn ' inj Chronicle brings against her Majesty's Go • wernmeat is a most serious one. Tile greatest 4i'!a ne that a Government can commit, next after dsterioratiog the Constitution of the country com mitted to its charge, and depressing the condition • i#r tire people, is the sacrificing of its honour and iaterests ahroad-s-these are the greatest crimes of A Government; but there are adjacent to these csrlines of almost as deep a dye, though, notwith ' i4tatitling their real proximity to the others, of e•-!emingly different character. These are, the puti.ngthe Constitution of a country and the hap liiess of its people i n p er il b y ras h or i ntereste d .e , xiwriments—the putting its external honour ,a itt its security to hazard by unnecessary s.traf.s. To confine ourselves, however, to the ktnasideration of external relations. To sacrifice • 2.l6naue and security, from fear of danger, i s th e 's",; . eatest crime—to risk honour and security by. , aaotonly rushing upon danger, is a crime next Tin . de . gree, a crime divided from the other by a wery slight difference. To avoid both these crimes, •Li short, to preserve peace without sacrificing h - istiotir and security, is, in cases of difficulty, the highest triumph of statesmanship, and this 1 - rinfilph we contend the present Government has :;:thieved in effecting the late treaty. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS inzoet THE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.

The Corporation have been hitherto a tittle vulnerable on this point : and it is not wonder- Ail, therefore, that in so valuable an appointment as this the same imputations should be hazarded. There is'a sufficient check upon them, however, in the con :sequences that may follow, in this case, any inefficient :nomination.

IN RE THOMAS HUTCHINSON. This day being appointed for the choice of assignees under the fiat against the bankrupt, who was described as a sugar-refiner, carrying on business in Old Gravel lane, Wapping, a number of creditors were in at tendance to establish proofs previous to voting. He had lived for some time at St. Ives, and afterwards carried on business in Crown-street, Finsbury, in connection with a person named Hodgens. He ap peared in Court under an order from the Commis sioner, being under a detainer in the Queen's Bench. A long discussion ensued between the solicitors on both sides, as to the propriety of allowing his exa mination to be public, the solicitor to the fiat stating that an item of 4,0001. appeared in his balance-sheet, in relation to his connexion with Cllr. Hodgens, and that it would frustrate the interest of the creditors, even if the solicitor on the other side were allowed to have a note of the examination. The COURT eventually decided that the examina tion was to be considered private. ~. S rAT.I Or.

Witness dressed the wound, and directed that the pro3ecutrix should b e kept quiet. There was a mark on her side which must have been occasioned by some external violence. 71 iously to saying, " If you don't," and there being doubt as to whether his intent was to rob, the Jury had given him the benefit of that doubt. The sentence of the Court was that he should be im prisonel in the House of Correction and kept to hard labour for twelve calendar months.

Ile saw nothing of the prisoner. Mr. CRoucir, who defended the prisoner, said he was instructed that the prosecutrix inflicted the wound upon herself, and that her object was to get the prisoner transported, to separate him from a wo man of Whom she was jealous. The following wit nesse3 were examined George Bucklow deposed, that on the evening of the 6th of September he was in the New-cut, Lam beth, and he saw the prisoner, and accompanied him to the concert, and remained there about an hour. The proecatrix went up to the prisoner and spoke to him, but He did not hear what she said. She then knocked a pipe out of his hand, and witness beckoned to the prisoner to go out, and the prosecutrix, who was very violent, followed him out, and when they not into the street she seized him by his coat, and it was with great difficulty two policemen could separate them ; the prisoner wished the prosecutrix to be I taken into custody—the policemen refused, and said, if they did riot go away, they would lock them both up. The prosecutrix went away, and witness accom panied the prisoner to another public-house, and re mained there until a quarter to twelve o'clock, and witness then accompanied the prisoner home to his lodging. He never lost sight of him from the time they left the first public-house until he went home to his lodging. Elizabeth Perry, the prisoner's mother, was then examined, and she proved that the prosecutrix told her, that the prisoner was innocent, and that she had wounded herself, and charged him with the offence in order that she might get him, transported, out of jea lousy, and she also said, that she wished she had put the knife as far into her breast, as she did into her aria. The prosecutrix likewise told her, that if he got over it, neither he nor herself should live over the week. William Cunningham also deposed that the prose cutrix told.him she had wounded herself, and had charged the offence upon the prisoner out of jealousy. Mr. Justice CRES3NVELL summed up, and the Jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict of—Not Guilty. (Before the RECORDER.) William &zithers, alias James King, pleaded guilty to the charge of feloniously returning from transportation. It appeared that the prisoner was convicted of rob bery about eight years ago, and ordered to be trans ported for life. The RECORDER sentenced the prisoner to be con fined for six m )nths in the Penitentiary, and then to be transported for life. NEW COURT. (YE STE RD A Y.) (Before the COMMON SERGEANT.) The cases that came before the Common Sergeant this morning were of a most trivial description. John Smith, a very respectably attired elderly man, was indicted upon several charges with stealing a vast quantity of valuable property belonging to his employer. The prisoner on being arraigned yesterday pleaded guilty, but in consequence of the property being in the hands of various pawnbrokers, the Learned Judge deferred passing judgment till to-day. At the sitting of the Court this morning the pri soner was again placed at the bar, and, in consequence of the recommendation of the 'prosecutor, was sen tenced to only one year's confinement in the House of Correction. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAi MORNING, SEPTEMBER 22, 1842. Alderman WiLso,—Well, prisoner, how can you reemcile these things ?—The prisoner said the fact was the good:; were not sold yet, but as he appre hended, the prosecutor would take them away from him, and thus deprive him of his commission upon the sale, on account of the delay, he pretended they were actually disposed of. Alderman WILSON-1 great many deceptive false hoods were told by you in this business, and if your intentions were honest, they had not the appearance of honesty. Alderman WILSON —I think not indeed; and you had batter send after his partner, and send a search warrant to the house in which he says the goods are deposited. The warrants were then taken out, and the prisoner was remanded. GUILDHALL. Frederick Harks was charged with violently as saulting Samuel Howe, a Metropolitan policeman, and C. ilfarkv with attempting a rescue. Samuel Howe stated that he was on duty in Gos well-street between twelve and one o'clock this morn ing, and he saw the prisoner making a noise, in com pany with a number of girls. He ordered them to go away, and after a' great deal of abuse they went on, but still making a noise. Witness fol lowed them till they got into Aldersgate-street, and then they made a still greater disturbance. He came up to them, and he was immediately knocked down by the prisoner, Frederick Marks, who com menced kicking and biting him, whereby his finger was broken. Another policeman came up, and with his assistance' the prisoner was taken into custody, when the other prisoner attempted to rescue him. He knocked down the other policeman, and both pri soners would have escaped if it had not been for a gentleman who was passing at the time. .The prisoners said in their defence, that they were assaulted by the police-officers. Mr. Alderman KELLY said he did not believe the Officers had exceeded their duty, and as it was the metropolitan police, he would give the prisoner an op portunity of compensating the officers, and if they could not arrange matters he must send the case to the sessions. The parties arranged the matter, as they did not return into Court. 130 W-STREET. A reapect'able-looking man, named Dowling, who was lately employed as co lle c t o r t o th e Weekly Chronicle - newspaper, was placed at the bar, before Mr. Twyford, charged with feloniously embezzling various sums of money, which he- had received on account of the proprietors of that paper. Mr. Hatton attended for the prosecution, and Mr. Pentlow, from Mr. Flower's, attended for the prisoner. The first witness called, was John West, the optician, of Fleet-street, who proved paying to the prisoner 1/. 4s. on the 7th October, 1841, on account of the Weekly Chronicle. John Philip Crantz, the publisher (,f the Weekly Chronicle, deposed that it was the prisoner's duty to hand over all monies which he received on account of the paper to him (witness). The prisoner had never paid over the 1/. 4s. received from Mr. West. 'Witness also proved the signature to the receipt for the money to 1):: in the prisoner's hand-writing. The next case was that of embezzling 11.105., being part ofan account of 6/. 10s. paid to the prisoner by Mr. John Simmonds, straw-hat manufacturer, on the 6th July, 1840. Mr. Simmonds proved the payment of the Cl. 10s., and Mr. Crantz proved that the prisoner had also paid him 51. Ile also produced a ledger, in which 51. only was entered as having been received. Mr. Hatton then applied to have the prisoner re manded, as he feared there were other and moreserious cases against him. Mr. Penthern applied to have him admitted to bail on tha ground of ill health. Mr. Hatton said he had no objection to bail being received. There was no vindictive feeling against the prisoner on the part of the prosecution ; they only wished to show to their extensive establishment that no one could be allowed to do any thing wrong with impunity. The prisoner was then ordered to find bail in two sureties of 401. each, for his appearance this day week. CLERKENWELL. Mary Cleal, a cook in the employment of John Walton, Esq., Barn s b ur y- square, I s li ngton, was charged on suspicion of robbing her master of 571., and stealing Si., his property. Mr. Walton, it appears, left 1051. in a deed-box about two months ago, which he locked, and placed under the sofa in his front parlour. On Tuesday morning last he counted it, and found it deficient 571. By the advice of Inspector Thatcher he marked a large number of the sovereigns privately on the same night, put in the same place, and retired to rest. The next morning he found the box exactly where he placed it, and locked and fastened as he had left it. He opened it, however, and found that five sovereigns more had been abstracted. The Police Inspector was sent for, and he found the five sovereigns in th e pri soner's drawer, marked. She confessed the robbery, and was taken to the station-house. She w: s remanded till Wednesday next, that her accomplices may be apprehended. A swindler, who passed by the names of Byrne, Williams, and Thomas, at different times, was charged with robbing his master, Mr. M ar ti n , o il man an d chandler, Cow Cross-street, of 111., 21., 41., and various other sums of money, and with obtaining goods on false pretences. The prisoner admitted the embezzlements, and was committed for trial. Tirm. Thomas, who was charged with the man slaughter of Joseph Ellis, by driving an omnibus over him, was this day discharged, Mr. Combe considering the evidence of too conflicting a nature to warrant him in sanding the case for trial. MARYLEBONE. Barnard Garvin was brought up before Mr. Raw linson, charged with beating and starving his daughter, _a child seven or eight years old. A witness stated that the child was literally starved, and were it not that the people about gave her bread and broken victuals, she would have been dead ere now. The child was placed before Mr. Rawlinson, and appeared quite famished, and full of disease. The prisoner stated that he had six children at home, and could not afford to give them all bread. He had been refused parochial relief. Mr. Rawf.lNsos ordered the case to lie over for full investigation by the authorities of St. Pancras. QUEEN-SQUARE. James Kick was brought up for re-examination upon a charge of violently assaulting Mary Kick, his wife, and thereby causing her death. It appeared the prisoner and his wife had a quarrel in their room, to which no one had access at the time, and the deceased received such violence as to cause her to bleed dreadfully at the time, and afterwards to apply at the station-house for redress. The husband (the prisoner) was apprehended and brought to the station-house ; the deceased was following, when she ipped, fell, and suddenly expired, as it was then in ferred, from the effects of the injuries she had re ceived from the prisoner. 'When before the Magis trate last Thursday, the prisoner said that he and his wife had been drinking for many hours together; that at tea his wife suddenly got up, seized a knife, and attempted to stab the prisoner, when he knocked her down; and that was the only violence he was guilty of. A coroner's jury afterwards returned an open verdict. Yesterday, Mr. James, the house-surgeon of West minster Hospital, after giving his evidence, said, that if he was to give ao opinion as to the cause of death he should be more inclined to state that the deceased's death was attributable more to intoxication and ulti mate excitement than violence. The appearances at the post mortem examination justified such an pinion. Mr. BURRELL, after examining several witnesses, decided that there was no hope of even a charge of manslaughter holding good against the prisoner, and discharged him. WORSHIP-STREET. A tall muscular man, named George Torbeman, a pauper of Bethnal Green, was placed at the bar before Mr. Broug' - iton, eNargel with having assau lt e d and wounded an old man, named James Elmsley, and also with having committed violent assaults upon several policemen. I It an )eared from the evidence of the complainant Elmsley, that he was formerly a weaver, but owing to distress, he had been compelled to become an in mate of Bethnal Green workhouse. A trifling sum of money having been presented to him by a relation on the preceding day, he obtained leave of absence for the afternoon, and good-naturedly invited the prisonef to participate in his enjoyments. After drinking for some time at his expense in a public .house, the pri soner began to abuse some strangers who were in the room, and on being remonstrated with by witness, he snatched up a quart pot, and struck him several vio lent blows on the • head. His head and face were ' covered with blood, proceeding from the wounds which the prisoner inflicted, and whilst he was endea vouring to retreat, the prisoner struck him another blow with the pot, which laid him prostrate. A rush was then made upon the prisoner by the rest of the company, who dragged him into the street, and wit ness was eonv. - !yed to a surgeon, where his wounds were dressed. Sergeant ALle:man H 7 stated t that on heArilv uli The prisoner asked a great number of questions of the prosecutor, but the answer to all of them confirmed the belief in the scandalous nature of the transaction. Mr. Clarkson said his client would be satisfied if his goods were given up to him. The prisoner —I am ready to give them up. Mr. Alderman WiLsoN—Where are they ? The prisoner —They are in Bridge-street, Lambeth. Alderman WILSON—At your disposal ? The pri soner—Certainly. Mr. Clarkson—He knew very well that if he had given them up he would not have been brought here in custody, and we do not think his word is at all to be relied on. WANDSWORTH. Mr. Thomas Green, Mr. Young Green, his son, and Mr. Richard Wright, entered proprietors of a sugar-making manufactory, situated in Bolingbrolic - road, Battersea, were summoned t) appear at th's Court yesterday, to answer to an Excise information, which contained no less than six counts, charging them with offences against the Excise laws. The defendants failed to appear, but deputed Mr. Druce, a solicitor, and the clerk to an at':orney, io defend them. Robert Francis, the first witness sworn, said he was an Excise officer. He gave proof of the service of the summons, after which he proceeded to make the following statement :—The defendants had for some time past carried on the business of sugar-makers, and as such they were entered by the Excise. The firm appeared to be a respectable one ; but still the witness, whose duty it was as an Excise officer to enter defendants' premises, had his suspicions aroused by seeing a quantity of liquor occasionally fermenting. This unusual and suspicious occurrence caused the witness to make a complaint to Mr. Metheringham, the supervisor, and on 30th of May last they went to the defendants' premises in Bolingbroke-row, Battersea. Witness and the. supervisor searched the house, and found in the cellar 45 gallons of plain British spirits, or low wines, and in a small room on the ground.. floor 35 gallons of the same material. All this was seized. After , the search had con ti nue d f or some time they found a still,'and they examined the steam boiler, and found it in every respect fitted up as a still. In it they found a quantity tit wash. This, to gether with all other utensils on the premises was seized. An evaporating-tub was found, nearly filled with water, and in it s cen t re was placed' an overflow pipe, which was quite unnecessary in the manufacture of sugar. Defendants came into the premises at this time. Mr. Wright said it was an experiment. Mr. T. Green said he was ruined —it was a last resource ; and Mr. Y. Green said they ware driven to it. Mr. Wright afterwards said that Mr. Thomas Green sug gested the experiment, and wished it to be tried and Mr. 'l'. Green, in reply, said it was Wright's fault. The three conjointly afterwards said the altera tion in the sugar duties had ruined them about four Months previous to the seizure. Witness had seen a quantity of wash 'fermenting upon the premises and ' spoken to Mr. Wright about it, who said he had put something to it to make it ferment. 'Witness ex plained to him that it was very improper to ferment wash or syrup, and asked what he intended to do with it, and - Mr. Wright said he was trying to pro duce an article proper for the bottoms of British wines, and when he had seen the effect he should destroy it. The witness requested to be present when the destruction took place, and it was agreed he should, but previous to the day appointed the wash was removed. Another time the witness saw a quan tity of wash fermenting, and one of the defendants said it was caused by the heat of the weather. The witness, at the conclusi on o f hi s ev id ence, produced a sample of the spirit seized. The Supervisor pressed only for one penalty, namely, 1001.; and that was inflicted by Mr. Paynter, the Magistrate. THE MARE'S NEST AT SOUTH. AMPTON. An Evening paper, on the authority of a South ampton Correspondent, publishes the following elabo rate refutation of the ridiculous story which ascribes to the leading Chartists a plot to assassinate the Queen. We published the account as it appeared in a Hamp shire paper in our yesterday's impression. " Peirce, the person alluded to as the individual whom a gang of Chartists tri e d t o secure i n a con spiracy to murder the Queen, and who, because he refused, narrowly escaped assassination, was some time ago possessed of considerable property, which he lost by investing it in' an unsuccessful joint-stock bank in this town. He now keeps a small grocer's shop in a place called the Ditches. He formerly was a Liberal in politics. Two or three year, ago he obtained a situation in the Excise, but he was reported to Government as having attended a Chartist meeting as chairman, and was instantly dismissed from his situation. He subsequently became a Tory. The marks in his hat, which he says were occasioned by his being fired at in the Hound, well, prove the improbability of his story ; for the mark in the front of the hat appears as if a broomstick was thrust through it, just above the band, while it bears a bullet-marl: at the back part, close up to the crown. Thus, it appears, that the bullet fired from the pistol must have entered the hat (which Peirce always wears to almost - cover his forehead, and then roust have passed in a semicircular direction towards th e back part of his hat, to avoid touchino• hi, head. is most unlikely that an assassin would have attempted murder in a place like the Houndwell, which is a small open place in the centre of the town, inter sected with roads and paths, and persons walking there at all hours of the night. It appears also that Peirce never attempted to secure the assassin, although it was impossible for the latter to have escaped if an alarm had been given; and though he went to sup afterwards with a friend, he never told that friend what had happened, nor his wife, nor any of the South ampton police or Magistrates, but went immediately to London to speak to Sir J. Graham. The story about the carriage being suddenly heard by the assassin on the Winchester-road is considered by all persons ac quainted with the spot as most improbable. The statement of Peirce, that Francis, who fired at the Queen, was one of the gang of Chartists who visited him, will he disbelieved by all persons who read an account of Francis's trial, for the evidence given on the trial proves, almost demonstrably, that the firing at the Queen was done from an envious feeling towards the fate of Oxford. Again, Peirce in his de positions has stated that he walked with the three Chartists who visited him round the beach ; and that,. though he met a great n um b er o f p ersons , h e cannot recollect a single individual, so that any one might be brought forward to prove that he was walking in company with such persons at the time he states. No one not deprived of his senses can believe that a gang of desperadoes, bent on murdering the Queen, would travel to Southampton and seek an accomplice in a man engaged in business, and who never went outside the town. MASONIC OFFERING TO Da. OLIVER.—OR Tues. day evening a meeting of Free masons too k place at. Radley's Hotel, New Bridge-street, Blackfriars, for the purpose of co-operating with the Masonic brethren in Lincolnshire, and other parts of the United Kingdom, in the presentation of a suitable testimonial of regard and esteem to the Rev. George Oliver, D.D., the cele brated historian of the craft. The chair was taken by E. R. Moran, Esq., of the Grand Master's Lodge, and a series of resolutions passed in furtherance of this very praiseworthy object, severally proposed and seconded by brothers 11. Philips, T. Pryer, R. T. Crucefix, M.D., Z. Watkins, J. L. Stevens, R. Field, G. W. Turner, M. Sangster, and W. L. Wright. Not a dissentient opinion was uttered, nor were the subscriptions, immediately commenced, unworthy of the occasion. Dr. Crucefix was appointed treasurer, and Mr. J. L. Stevens secretary to the metropolitan body of subscribers. ______________ 13 IR TES.

EXTRAORDINARY PRESERVATION OF THE PRIS CILLA TIMBER Siiir.—On Saturday last the above vessel was towed up to Deptford from the Downs, having made her passage across the Atlantic under circumstances of peculiar difficulty. She has been engaged in the timber trade for some time past. It appears that in shipping her last freight at Queboc great want of caution must have existed, for during the voyage; while under sail on the larboard tack, her cargo shifted, and threw the vessel completely on her bearn.ends. The weather was fortunately cairn, or the ship must inevitably have been lost. Much credit is due to the captain for his skill in navigating her home, as the result of making any sail after the accident occurred, except . under circumstances of the greatest caution, must have resulted in her total loss. Her appearance in passing up the river attracted much attention—the masts, instead of being per pendicular, formed an angle of about forty-fiv e de grees, and she is still the subject of mull observation by all persons passing up and down the Pool. An accident of this nattiro, with a similar result, is of rare occurrence—the loss of timber ships under similar circumstances is notorious, and calls for legislative interference as to the mode of loading ve sse i a the colonies.

On Saturday evening last, between nine all ten o'clock, a young man named Dunston caineoht her, and said the deceased, who had been ill. from t to Wednesday, h a d f a ll en out of bed, and wis'aed her assist him in lifting him into bed. She i - amtediut wo e) went, and on lifting the deceased up &wad he dead. Dunston, who lodged in the house, wen t Mr. Coalthery, the surgeon. ' Mr. Coalth ery , o f N o. 4, Melton-ter.ace, said he dwas called to see th e d eceased on Saturday night' No. 22, U n i on - s t reet, and found him dead. He , since made a post mortem examination, and on oll e- c i ing the stomach, found slough two inches long° one wide, inter m i xe d w i th several white particles' which, on testing, he found to be arsenic. The caf e of death was th e u l ceration of the stomach from t' action of the ar sen i c, which consisted of three or fear grains of th e w hi te oxyde. He must have suger 0 dreadfully, and in his opinion it could not have be many hours i n th e stomach. It might have been o long as 10 or 12 hours or not more than 20 rnintll, The wife t o ld hi m the ' deceased had been ill from t h e Wednesday, and that she had given him some tine ture of rhubarb, which she had procured at his slic. / 17 a on the Th urs d ay morning.

By the Jury—l knew the wife, but had not. se ep her for two months, when I attended her in her e ntr e finement. The wife said she came to my shop 2 lb ° c , nine o'clock, as soon as it was open. Now, it. s° i ° v curred that the shop was open at seven, and fr01u,...1 time until eight lam constantly in the shop. I tn, if arsenic had been in the pudding it must have beery mixed with the apples, and not with the crust, s°l of which I h ave got. I d i d not ask if she had enters :my.

SUDDEN DEATH AT THE SWAN WITH Two Igsel L s ' LAD -LANE.--Tuesday afternoon Mr. Payne held an inquest at th e a b ove i nn, on view of the bodf (1 , . Richard Carberry, aged 65. Robert John Carberry, deceased's son, stated. that his father had been for many years a merchant c arry" ing on business in Calcutta, but he had recently' re tired, and was residing in England About' . tir e o'clock yesterday morning witness accompanied de ceased to the Swan with Two Necks, Lad-lane, from whence deceased was to be conveyed by omnibus t ° the Birmingham Railway terminus, in Eusten,-squore• There was no one in the inn yard when they arrived , nor could they make any body hear. Deceased sad' dimly perceived a light through a grating, and stooped down to endeavour to attract the attention of some one. While he was so engaged a young man entered at the inn yard gate. Witness went towards him , and at that moment heard deceased exclaim, " Oh,' Robc.T . t.;" and turning round saw him fall t o the' ground apparently in a fit. Medical aid was immer• diately procured, but deceased died almost instal , " taneously. Mr. Edward Harrison Linnekar, of Aldermanbu ryt surgeon, stated that he was called in to attend de' ceased, but not before life was completely exe.nct; There was no doubt he had died from the bursting of a blood•vessel either of the heart or the brain. Verdict—" Natural death." D _IGNITY OF GASTRONOMIC DISCOVERY.---A . pa triotic Frenchman has observed—"l regard the discovery of a dish as a far more interesting event than the dis covery of a star ; for we have always stars enough, but can never have too many dishes ; and I should not regard the science as sufficiently honoured or represented among us until I see a cook i.l the first class of the Institute." COLLIERS' STRIKE.—III our last we stated that the cjlliers and other workers at Gartsherrie had resumed their employment on their own terms ; but we regret to say -that the great mass of the struck workmen are still - out, without any present likelihood of an arrangemant being come to. Rumours are in existence of some vio- • lent measures having been resorted to by the turn-outF;, such as fiircing those who have begun to work to leave the pits, and other acts of intimidation ; but these ap pear to be after all very trifling in their character, and are creating scarcely any alarm. Th e most ser i ous ease • which h as reac h e d our ears, is the fa c t th a t, some Lights ago, a sh o t was fi re d into the house of a worki ng collier through - the window. No injury was sustained, how ever, by any one, and up to this moment the °Senders have not been detected, nor is it ascertained wly.ther the shot was intentional or accidental. Several persons have lately been taken into custody charged with iatimidating their fellow-workmen.—Glasgow Argus.
