As a proof of the earliness of the season, Mr. Hope, at Duddingston, finished cutting on Saturday, 16th August, and, what is very remarkable, without the slightest interrup tion from rain.—Edinburgh Evening Courant.

We are sorry to learn that the herring fishery along the north coast of Scotland h as thi s season been unprecedent edly unsuccessful. With the exception of one week's fishing in the Sound of Scalps, Island of Skye, it has been, we may say, a total failure. At Portree, on Thursday morning last, the take was so bad that the steward of the Ilighlander steam boat was unable to procure fresh herrings sufficient for the use of the passengers homewards.—Greenock Intelligencer. ENNISKILLEN, AUG. consequence of or ders from Government, a general disarming of the yeomanry has been ordered. Several members of that body, both in this and the adjoining counties, have refused to deliver up their arms; but the Government will not be humbugged by their obstinacy, and the law officers are about proceeding against the commander of each corps whose men are contumacious, for the penalty of 5001., pursuant to the statutes in that case made and provided. This intimation will, no doubt, produce the desired effect. On Sunday morning, between the hours of nine and ten o'clock, as a servant with three young children, one of whom was in her arms, was walking on the footpath, randon hill, leading from Charlotte-street to Queen's Parade, they were met by three young men, well dressed, who, on passing, threw over her a quantity of vitriol, which dreadfully burnt her person and nearly the whole of her clothes. A reward of two guineas his been offered for the discovery of the offend ers.—Bristol Mercury. A facetious Irishman was brought up for being drunk and disorderly on the previous day. Sowry,'the consta ble, stated that he was in a most outrageous condition, declaring that he wanted to kill all the Irish, and then he could die happy ; that he knew all the watchmen in London, and should like to know all the watchmen in Leeds. Mayor.—Where do you live ? Prisoner—Surrey, your honour, when I am at home, but Igo a-walking about the country. Q.—Can you pay for a fine ? A.—No, Sir. Q.—Then you can sit in the stocks : A.---( With great emphasis) I hope not, your ho nour. The Mayor said—We cannot do with such conduct here, you can do so in Surrey, if you like. Prisoner—Then I would rather leave the town. He was then discharged on the above condition.—Leeds Times. THE MOORS—GROUSE. —AII the accounts hi therto received from the North, state the birds to be in fine condition, but not over numerous, and so wild as to render them " come-at-able" only by good shots. The regular " peep-o'-day" sportsmen complain sadly of the " improved locomotive power" which transports a host of cockney rivals from the vicinity of Moorfields to the Yorkshire Moors, in the short space of 24 hours. One writer says—" We saw one gentleman whose nose had been perforated by two of number three, and another whom we met had his hat ventilated by a random shot. Several dogs fell instead of grouse, and a fine borrowed animal from an hotel, that had been shot over for many seasons, was carried home by a strange gentleman minus his two eyes. This is a serious and growing evil, as these scaramouches mar the 'pleasure of some of the best sportsmen that ever breathed the pure mountain breeze." THUNDER STORM.—Thunder storms have of late been very prevalent. One of the most violent of these oc curred at Inverness on the afternoon of Sunday week. So destructive was the storm on this occasion, that five horses, be longing to Mr. J. Macgillivray, a tenant on the estate of Dunmaglass, which were on their way to the hill at the time of the storm, were struck down by the electric fluid. A lad was riding on one of them, but he marvellously escaped with only a slight bruise occasioned by the fall of the animal, while the whole of the horses were killed on the spot. A person who saw them next day states, that the horses were not in the slightest degree scorched or disfigured.—lnverness Courier. DUBLIN, AUG. 16.—The lamentable increase of cholera in Dublin can no longer be concealed or disregarded. No less than 158 new cases in the city have been announced to-day. At this moment the Metropolitan Cholera Hospital is re-opened at Grange Gorman-lane, and undergoing a hasty preparation for the reception of patients and the prevention of similar afflicting, and indeed widely dangerous, scenes. Sir W. Gossett has sent on the instant 5001. as a Government advance to defray the first expenses, till some arrangement can be effected to establish a regular fund to meet the daily charges. Accounts from Castlebar, county of Mayo, speak of the speed with which the sufferers are now carried off there with astonishment. Much alarm was excited in Stamford on Tuesday last, by a case supposed to be one of Asiatic cholera, in the person of a market-gardener named Landen, from Wood Newton, near Wansford. He had been violently sick pre vious to his leaving home, early in the morning, but perse vered in coming to Stamford ; and, as soon as he arrived in the market, was seized with the more decided symptoms of the formidable disease. He was taken to a neighbouring inn, and promptly attended by Mr. Burdett, surgeon, and subse • quently by Dr. Arnold. In the evening the symptoms were so far mitigated, that, at his own particular desire, he was re moved to his home at Wood Newton, and we hear has since become convalescent.—Boston Herald. On Tuesday week, in the Jury Court, in the trial of a case connected with the Fife Bank, Mr. Dalziel, Writer to the Signet, who was examined as a witness, stated the fol lowing singular circumstance :—Some papers connected with the case had been mislaid, and after a very diligent search, all hope of finding them was given up, until the night previous to the trial, when he dreamt that the papers were lying in a par ticular place. On going to the quarter indicated, he discovered them. We are well aware that other instances of similar reve lations have been detailed, but we believe none of them are,so well authenticated, Mr. Dalziel having stated it on oath. The Court, as might be expected, were very much astonished at the statement. —Fife Herald. MELANCHOLY ACClDENT.—Yesterday morning between two and three o'clock, a melancholy accident occurred at the gravel-machine of Waterloo-bridge. A waterman named Turner, went with a barge to the machine, for the pur pose of getting it filled with ballast ; and as he was a little in liquor, his wife insisted upon accompanying him, and she re mained on board the machine until the barge was filled, when as she was about to step from one vessel to the other, her foot slipped, and she fell into the water; and, before any assistance could be rendered to her, the strength of the tide carried her a great way up the river, and she was unfortunately drowned. CHILD MURDER.—On the evening of Saturday last the town of Old Meldrum was thrown into a state of con siderable excitement by the murder of a female child, only about three weeks old, belonging to a pa r ty o f Gip s i es . The mother of the child had lain down in a state of intoxication at a dyke-side, with the infant under her arm ; and while she was in this situation her husband struck her several blows, in at tempting to avoid which she pressed on the child, and unfor tunately deprived it of life. Both parties were immediately taken into custody, and the body of the infant was laid out in the Town-hall. On Sunday morning Mr. Sheriff Watson and the Procurator Fiscal, accompanied by Dr. Jamieson, pro ceeded thither, when a post mortem examination of the body took place, but no marks of violence were observed. On Mon day the Sheriff and Fiscal again returned, and proceeded to take the usual precognitions on the subject, and the result of the investigation was the committal of the man, whose name is Dessau, and his wife, to Aberdeen gaol for trial. The Gipsies who accompanied them were dismissed.—Aberdeen Herald. SUICIDE BY WHISKY.--On the morning of Thursa ay, he 24th ult., a zlivt kin g inutancc of 3olf-dc struction took place in the vicinity of Castledawson. A decent, industrious, and habitually sober man, named Thomas Cook, took it into his head that his wife was unfaithful to him, which idea seems to have occupied his mind for a considerable pe riod. During Wednesday he was from home at Cookstown ; on his return in the evening of that day, some circumstance attracted his attention which revived his previous suspicions. He, in consequence, quarrelled with his unfortunate wife, and beat her most severely. The wretched man appeared speedily to have become deeply sensible of the impropriety of his con duct, and endeavoured to induce his wife to forgive and forget what had happened. To this, however, she did not seem dis posed to consent. In a fit of desperation he seized a quantity of whisky which was in the house, and, taking a knife in his hand, vowed that he would stab any person who attempted to prevent him from drinking it, as he was determined to kill himself. The quantity which he swallowed was at least a quart and a half pint. In a short time afterwards he fell on the floor in a state of insensibility ; from which, although he received medical treatment, he never recovered.—Belfast Chronicle. At the Court of Assizes for the department of the Herault, held at Montpelier, a trial has just taken place of a mother and daughter, the latter of whom was accused of at tempting to shoot her lover, and the former with aiding and abetting her in the crime. It appeared by the evidence that the youngest prisoner, Marie Maguey had for some time been courted by a young man named Aristide de Montbazier, by whom she was pregnant. This young man had promised her marriage, and it would seem, that as he refused to fulfil that promise, she had concerted with her mother to destroy him. Upon one occasion the young man and a friend were walking in the streets, when they were followed by the prisoners, who had been watching them, and Marie suddenly drew a pistol from her apron, and fired it at her lover. He received the charge in his arm, which was much injured, and his friend had the sleeve of his coat burnt. Marie ran off imme diately, but was pursued and taken in e withvihdeernemeotthhaet the young the part O part of the prisoners, it was given man had himself attempted to assault the youngest prisoner, and the Jury, by their verdict, gave an opinion that she had only acted in her own defence. The mother was also ac quitted, but the circumstances of the case were such, that th e daughter was condemn e d t o French Paper. p 4 the expenses of the trials__ LA T .) ; i; 5 1 Jo ?J THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 20, 1834.

General Rodil has issued the following decree : " After having employed all possible means of clemency, and being convinced that severe chastisements can alone put an end to the rebel faction, which, contrary to reason and jus tice, daily foments civil war in the kingdom, and in the pro vinces under my orders ; and making use of the full powers which the Queen Regent has conferred on me, I have decreed as follows : " Art. 1.

All persons who obey the summonses of the rebels shall be shot, even if they have not joined them. " Art. 5. Those who convey correspondence or verbal corn munications, and those who act as spies hall be shot ; nor shall they be admitted to offer in excuse, that they acted under the orders of any local authorities. " Art. 6. The authorities or private individuals who shall abscond on the approach of the Queen's troops shall, for this act alone, have their property confiscated. " Art. 7. The authorities of such places as may be invaded, by whatever rebel force, and who shall not have given infor mation thereof to their civil and military superiors, shall be arrested, their property shall be seized, and they will be brought to trial to undergo such pains and penalties as they may have incurred. " Art. 8. In the localities where the partisans of the Queen shall have been laid under contribution for the insurgents, the inhabitants thereof, who are enemies to legitimacy, shall be held responsible fur the injury suffered by the former. Art. 9. Those related in the second degree to insurgent persons, shall be expelled from the territory, and will not be allowed to return before the latter have submitted themselves to the legitimate authority. " Art. 10. The present decree shall be literally executed under the most rigid responsibility of the authorities and chiefs to whom such execution respectively belongs. " MARQUIS de RODIL. " Pampeluna, Aug. 5, 1834." COUNT TORENO'S FINANCIAL PLAN. The following is an exact translation of the project of law submitted by Count Toren() to the Chamber of Proeu radores " PROJECT OF LAW. " Article 1. All the debts contracted by the Government in foreign countries, at different periods, and more particularly the loanS anterior, as well as posterior, to 1623; are National Debt—(Deuda del Estado.) " Art. 2. The liquidation of all this debt shall be immedi ately entered on, and in proportion as the liquidation proceeds the payment of the interest shall be verified. " Art. 3. All the foreign debt shall be hereafter distinguished as active debt and passive debt. " Its conversion into active debt and passive debt shall take place in the proportion of one-half into active debt, and the other half into passive debt. " The arrears of interest of the old loans shall be reim. bursed by Rentes of the passive debt. " Art. 4. A new Rentc of 5 per cent. shall be created, to represent the active debt, into which shall be converted the part of the old foreign loans comprehended in the active debt. Art. G. The active debt shall comprehend, in the first place, 04e debt with interest, which the Government may here after create ; and, in the second place, the old debt, mentioned in Article 1, which shall participate in the payment of interest which is applicable to the active debt. " Art. 6. The passive debt is composed of the part of the debt mentioned in Article 1, which may be converted into active debt. The obligations of the passive debt will bear no interest : means for a sinking fund and re-imbursement will ulteriorly be provided. A d . 7. All the obligations and titles which now repre sent the foreign debt, will be exchanged for others that are new within 18 months from the promulgation of this law. The Secretary of State and of Universal Dispatch for the Treasury will take the necessary means, in order that the said conversion may be verified at the Exchanges of London, Paris, and Amsterdam. " At the end of the term above fixed, all the old obliga tions and titles which have not been presented will, in conse quence, be totally annulled. " Art 8. A sinking fund of one-half per cent, per annum, will be provisionally applied to the totality of the new funds created, which bear an interest of 5 per cent. " Art. 9. The sinking fund shall be applied exclusively to the active debt ; but as soon as there shall have been purchased a certain sum, of which the amount shall be fixed he this sum shall be cancelled, and an equivalen, pas. live debt, determined by lot, shall ber participate, in consequence, of the - the sinking fund.

Captain D'Urban, 25th regiment, from Armagh, yesterday relieved Captain Dickson, of the same, on detachment to Car rickmacross. Orders have been issued for a new method of saluting for infantry officers, both on the move and when at open rank for the present. David Walker, Esq., Deputy Judge Advocate-General, has left Dublin for England. Lieut.-Colonel Arbuthnot, of the 90th Light Infantry, has proceeded to England on leave of absence, and the command of the regiment at Naas has devolved on Major Mackay. On Friday, the 90th Light Infantry, stationed at Naas, proceeded from their quarters in marching order, under the co mmand of Major Slade, taking the direction of Sallins, through Kerdiffstown, skirmishing in extended order, till they arrived at Palmerstown House, the hospitable mansion of the Earl and Countess of Mayo. His Lordship, with his usual urbanity, proceeded to meet this distinguished corps in the demesne, where Major Slade an d hi s o ffi cers were i nv ited by his Lordship to partake of a collation, the regiment taking up a position in open column in front of Palmerstown House. During the time the officers were partaking of his Lordship's hospitality, the non-commissioned officers and soldiers were regaled with strong beer, the band and bugles playing alter nately, to the great amusement of the company at Palmers town. Major Slade, who is an excellent disciplinarian, then formed line, and with open ranks ordered a general salute, the band playing " God save th e Ki ng ," w hi c h conc l u d e d w ith the troops giving three hearty cheers to the Earl and Countess of Mayo and their company, with an addition of " one cheer more." The officers and soldiers then proceeded to Naas, highly delighted with the reception they experienced at this hospitable mansion. The Scots Fusileer Guards leave Dublin, for London, the 22d inst., to be replaced by a battalion of the Grenadiers, from the Sister Country. The officers of the 9th Lancers are already preparing for the next September meeting at the Curragh. Lady Lough borough, wife of their Colonel, has presented them with a splendid gold whip, and they have got up a sweepstakes of 100 sovs. for horses bona fide the property of officers of the regiment ; to be ridden by the owners. We have received papers and letters from Jamaica and Barhadoes to the latter end of June, from which we subjoin extracts " Quartermaster-General's Office, Barbadocs, 9th June, 1834. His Majesty's troop-ship Athol will sail hence on Thurs day next, the 12th inst., at ten A.M., for Nevis, St. Kitt's, Tortola, and Antigua, with three companies of the 67th regi ment, to relieve those of the 36th at the two former islands, which are destined, one company for Tortola, to take the place of the company of the 65th regiment, to return to Bar badoes, and the remaining companies 36th regiment, from St. Kitt's, reinforcing the garrison of Antigua.

The service companies of the 68th Light Infantry, Lieut.= Colonel Cross, expect to move rfotu Edinburgh to Leith in a few days, to embark for Gibraltar in the Romney troop ship. The depot companies, under Major Lord W. Paulet, now at Greenlaw, will also proceed in the Romney, to Portsmouth garrison, to be there stationed, after which the Romney will pursue her trip to Gibraltar, with the head-quarters of the 68th. The 77th regiment, at Portsmouth, is ordered to embark for Leith by the Romney, on route to Edinburgh, to replace the 68 th, ordered to Gibraltar. The Stentor transport is to convey the 84th depot to Dover, and bring the 73d depot to Portsmouth garrison. The service companies of the 71st regiment, and the 434 depot, are air; to go to that garrison. The 80th depot is under orders for Dudley. • On Sat ur d ay , Si r H ussey Vivian inspected t h e 52d Light Infantry, stationed in Enniskillen , when be was pleased to express his utmost satisfP c - perfection to which this tion at he beat,'corps has attained. high state of The War • - ul and soldier-like information of the existence has received authentic T Viscount Ranelagh, 7th Fusileers.. psBth, En- Chetwynd, 7th Hussars, Ensign Crai n sign Francis, 81st regiment, have left the army this week.. _ - On Tuesday, Lieutenant Hiern proceede d in command a strong party of the 36th Depot, from Nenagh to Killibeg, to aid the Sheriff in executing b a writ of Habore, y which he had to turn out of possession thirty-two The dut y being finished, the party returned to Nenagh sameetven. ing ) having performed a march of thirty-three Irish Milo I; one day.

The late Geniral Sir John Doyle, and General Duncan Campbell, 91st regiment, in this garrison, have been for years longer in command of regiments than any other General Officer in the British Army. Their appointment to the Co lonelcy-in- Chief was contemporaneous, 3d May, 1796. DARING OUTRAGE AND ROBBERY. On Monday night last, at about nine o'clock, as a gen tleman, attired in the height of fashion, was walking through Russell-square, he was by a handsome, genteel-looking girl, who accosted him, and requested him to treat - her to a glass of wine. He entered into conversation with her, and eventually consented to accompany her to her lodgings in Lascelles's-court, St. Giles's. On entering the place he sent the servant for some wine, and made her a hand some present, when he pulled out his purse, which con tained several sovereigns and some silver. They had not been long together when his there conic made an excuse to quit the room. The gentleman sat patiently for some minutes, when he was suddenly alarmed by three ruffianly looking fellows rushing into the room, and inquiring what business he had there ; and on informing them of the nature of his visit, they demanded his money. He at first hesitated, but they swore that he should not leave the place until he acceded to their demand, and he offered them half a sovereign, which they received, but expressed their dissatisfaction. 'The ruffians then threatened violence un less more was given them, on which the gentleman resisted them, and 'lnstil; called out " Police, murder," &c., and by a desperate effort got out of the apartment, and made his way as fast as possible into the street. On his arrival there, not being able to find a policeman, he instantly proceeded to St. Giles's station-house, where he gave information of the out rage to inspector Titterton, who was on duty, and a descrip tion of the persons of the girl and the fellows who assaulted and robbed him, and that officer dispatched some of his men to the house in Lascelles-court (a common brothel), when they ascertained the name of the girl to be Caroline Davis, a notorious young prostitute, whom they shortly after took into custody ; but they could get no tidings of the men. They then took her• to, the station-house, where the gentleman attended, and made his charge against her, but refused to give his name and address. Yesterday morning she was brought before Mr. Serjeant Sellon, at Hatton-garden Police-office, and on the case being called on the prosecutor did not answer. Mr. Serjeant SELLON considered it a daring outrage, and inquired whether there was any probability of the gentle man making his appearance ? Inspector Titterton thought there was not, as, when he refused to give his name and address, he seemed exceedingly afraid of exposure ; but he promised to attend. He was a middle-aged man, fashionably dressed, with gold rings on his fingers, gold watch chains and seals, a valuable guard, and eye-glass. The house, he said, was a most notorious receptacle for thieves, &c., and he considered it a most for tunate circumstance that the gentleman was not murdered for the sake of his property. Mr. Serjeant SELLON concurred in this opinion, and said that as there was no prosecutor he must discharge the pri soner, which he did, after severely' reprimanding her, and ordered the officers to keep a strict watch after her and the house in future. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT LIVERPOOL. On Saturday night last, between the. hours of 10 and 11, this town was thrown into a state of alarm, in conse quence of a fire having broken out near the Salthouse-dock. The volumes of flame emitted from the neighbourhood il luminated nearly the whole of the town and docks, and the consternation for fear any portion of the shipping had ig nited was very great. On inquiry, however, it appeared that the cause of alarm originated by workshops and out housestelonging to Messrs. Clarke and Nixon, ship-builders, of Cornhill, near the docks, having taken fire, threatening destruction to the whole of the premises, and the vessels then on the stocks, in a state of formation, in that and the adjoining shipwrights' yards. The fire which broke out in a large stove, used for the purpose of drying timber, and fixed at the bottom of the workshops and sawpit, was first discovered by Mr. Forrester, an inspector of the dock police, who immediately gave the alarm, and if men had been at hand at the time, there would have been little diffi culty in extinguishing the flames. The engines, however, al though speedily on the spot, after the first intimation, did not arrive before the devastating element had gained so power ful an ascendancy from the ignition of large quantities of chips, boards, and dry timber that surrounded the stove, as to extend itself to an extensive workshop at the ex tremity of the yard, the upper part of which was filled with pitch, tar, cordage, and other inflammable materials, and in less than ten minutes afterwards the whole premises were enveloped in blaze, and the fire having communicated to the piles of timber heaped in the yard, a large proportion took fire, presenting the appearance of an immense bonfire, and emitting such a powerful body of flame and heat as to render a passage to the building extremely dangerous. Whilst thus burning (11 o'clock) the first. engine, the Nor wich Union, arrived on the spot, immediately followed by one of the new Liverpool fire-police engines, accompanied by the active superintendent, Mr. Gallimore. The men of the fire-police in a few minutes got into play, by means of water supplied by the tanks in the yard ; but the supply was so exceedingly scanty and non-effective, that the Sun and Royal Exchange engines were dispatched to the Salt house-dock, when a communicating link of hose was placed between the docks and the yard, and the water pumped from those engines into that of the fire-police. The fore men and men belonging to these engines exerted themselves very creditably. During this time the fire was raging with unabated fury in the building, and amongst the timber in the yard, and in consequence of the smallness of the pumping engines, com pared with the fire-police engine which received the water, there was great difficulty in obtaining a sufficient quantity for the fire-police engine effectively to play with. Within a yard of the building, which was now entirely gutted, a very fine vessel of 600 tons burden, in an unfinished state, was upon the stocks. As it stood its estimated value was .5,0001., that sum having been expended upon it. The flames had already reached the sides of the ship, and the fears entertained were that it must eventually fall a prey to them. Numbers of persons got on board the vessel, and poured buckets of water down its sides, which, however, had not the effect of extinguishing the flames ; and Mr. Gallimore seeing this, extended his hose, and having passed two intermediate fires, continued to play upon the burning embers of the sides, and about two o'clock, although badly supplied with water, he succeeded in ensuring her safety. At one time she was much endangered by a party of officious fellows removing the scaffolding at the sides, which was very advantageous for the firemen to climb up on, in order to. approach that portion of the vessel which was on fire. The superintendent desired them to desist - from their work of destruction ; but they refused, and it was only when one of them was given into custody that l / 4 the rest were prevailed upon. Had they been suffered to proceed, the supporters of the vessel in its upright position would have been re moved, and consequently it must have fallen into the burn ing ruins in the building. The superintendents were also much annoyed by the many busy persons present crying out that the vessel was on fire in the interior, thereby attracting their attention from saving the vessel by extinguishing the flames at the sides. Such was not the case at any period. A set of ruffianly vagabonds, in the dress of mechanics, were also present, who refused to lend the least assistance, and endeavoured to dissuade others from doing so, stating they were sure not to get paid for their services. The Norwich engine, under the direction of Mr. Anderson, zealously co-operated with the fire police in endeavouring to save the vessel, and amongst others who usefully exerted themselves were Lieutenant Lowe, the Government emi gration agent, and Lieutenant Hay, of the ship Crescent. Afs s ;• the fire had become partially subdued, the timber at the river end of the shed ctzug:ht fire, and again endan gered the veZsel, and his worsti.'y the Mayor, who was promptly on tke spot, and who remained until four o'clock in the morning , seein g that if the fire there got any head it might communicate to the other ship wrights' yards, and the damage become intolculable, took effective Measures to have it immediately pi,:t out, and succeeded in his exertions. Mr. Wlutty, of the nightly watch, and Mr. Dowling, of the dock police, with aseir re spective forces, were in attendance, and maintained excel liss order. Although the fire occurred between the docks and the r:rer, th e re was a lamentable want of water. 1 .. 1us to the absence of the turiieocks, for en'onls sent, and he was so drunk he did not was owing, firs: , know , o i f yh t t e r m e wasthe P plugs were ; and, secondly, to the ineffi ciency of some of the fire-engines. They were unable to supply the new fire-police engine from the docks, and at first hesitated, until ordered by the Mayor. No one who witnessed the fire can doubt the necessity for, and the utili ty of, a fire-police. Though with but one engine, and with out any perfect arrangement, Mr. Gall;more effected the -Cetv of the vessel, and thereby prevented the fire from 3.... - extenul''g to the adjoining yards. This i s . the first occa sion on si,llLll the*new fire-police of the tom s has been en gaged at a fire, and and under the disadvantages ,of not haying the establishment ei;lllPlete, we should think that the in habitants, generally, will be dis p osed to give them credit for their effectiveness. The fire was not got under control until 5 o 'clock on Sunday morn in g . The parties were in suredh in.the Plicenix-offic, but not, .we understism.l,ltor_t_ oe full amount of their loss, which is estimated at 2,00h0i. rh engines left at 7 o'clock, but in consequence continuing. to burn, and wear a threatening as turned at 3 o'clock, and played upon thornruins there'st of the afternoon. °f a t they re- The SUPPOSED MURDER near BRUNSWICK- SQUARE. A very considerable sensation has been produced in the vicinities of Brunswick-square and Burton -crescent, in con sequence of the supposed murder of a man named John Mills, aged about 60, lately carrying on the business of a butcher, at Brighton. Information of the suspicious circumstance was forwarded to Mr. Stirling, the Coroner, and yesterday afternoon an inquest was held at the Elephant and Castle, Pancras-road, before a respectable Jury, on the body of the unfortunate man, when the following evidence was adduced : Robert Duke, an officer of Hatton-garden Police-office, deposed that on Saturday 'morning last he went to the house of a man named Henry Hill, No. 10, Hadlow-street, Burton-crescent, against whom he had a warrant for assault ing his (Hill's) wife. Witness was informed by the wife that her husband was not at home, but that he was gone to No. 23, Lancaster-street, in. the neighbourhood, whore he (Duke) would be sure to find him. Witness accordingly went there, and found the door open ; he went in, but did not see or hear any one. On going into the front parlour witness was shocked and astonished at discovering the de ceased stretched on the floor, with his throat cut from ear to ear, and the room covered with blood. The unfortunate man appeared to have been dead some time ; a large white handled table knife was lying on a chair near the deceased, very bloody, and a butcher's steel was on the mantel-shelf. The deceased had only his shirt and trousers on, the rest of his clothes were hanging over the back parlour door. There were bloody print marks of a man's naked foot across the room where the deceased was lying, and the door was besmeared with blood, as if clone by a person's hand. The parlour in which the deceased was lyin g had no furniture in, with the exception of a mattress. Vitness went over the whole of the house, which was quite empty. By the CORONER—I am of opinion the deceased com mitted the act himself, and afterwards walked about tho room, which accounted for the printmarks of the bloody feet and the door being besmeared. The CORONER observed, that he had known instances Where persons had cut their throats and walked about for some time afterwards : it was the loss of blood that caused death generally upon such occasions. Witness examined by the Jury—l have heard that the deceased had been quarrelling with his wife, daughter, and son-in-law ; they are people of very bad character. When I discovered the deceased in the situation described, I ob tained assistance, and returned to No. 10, Hadlow-street, and found the man, Henry Hill, in one of the rooms, whom I took into custody for the assault. lam positive when I first called in the morning Hill's wife said that her husband was out, and that I should find him in Lancaster-street. I have since heard that he never left Hadlow-street ; the deceased's daughter, Mrs., Hill, informed me, that her father bad called early that morning, and requested her to get him some meat for breakfast, saying that he was going out for a short time and would return soon ; but she did not see him again. The daughter admitted to me since that she de ceived me in saying that her husband, was out, and bad gone to Lancaster-street. I heard in the neighbourhood that the deceased was in the habit of being ill use d b y hi s wife, daughter, and son-in-law. The deceased had formerly attempted self-destruction by banging himself, occasioned by a reverse in his circumstances. Mrs. Elizabeth Labour, of No. 10, Hadlow-street, de posed that she knew the deceased. His daughter and son in-law lodged in her house. The deceased had his goods seized for rent some time back, since which his wife had lived in her house ; but the deceased lived in the empty house, to keep possession. She saw the deceased for the last time alive on Friday evening, between seven and eight o'clock. He then appeared very unhappy and low spirited. He told witness that he had been robbed by his daughter, and was treated like a dog by the whole of them ; at the same time observing, that he had once attempted to de stroy himself, but that the next time he would - do it effectually. On going away the deceased said, " Good bye, Mrs. Labour; I shall never see you again ; I am goin. , to cut my throat." 'Witness did not place any credit in what he said, and tried to rally his spirits. The deceased lived on bad terms with his wife, daughter, and son-in-law. On the Friday previous witness saw the daughter empty her father's pockets while he was in a state of stupor. By the Jury—l did not see the man Hill leave the house on Saturday morning, nor the deceased come there. I keep a shop, and there is a private door to the house. There is a young woman named Ellen Bolton living with Hill and his wife. She is a loose character. lam a married woman. I did not know the character of my lodgers, or else I should not have taken them into my house. Hill is a carpenter by trade. I never saw him strike or threaten the deceased,.but they have quarrelled often. Sarah Hill, a very forbidding-looking young woman, de posed that the deceased was her father. She saw him alive on Friday evening last, at which time there was no quar relling. Very early on Saturday morning the deceased came to her bedside whilst she was in bed, and requested her to get him some breakfast. She cannot say whether it was real, or whether she was in a dream, but her eyes were open. Her father went away, and said he would return again in half an hour, but he did not ; the deceased had been very unhappy in his mind for some time past, on ae count of his goods having been seized, and his circumstances being so bad. _ _ _ By the Coroner.—l cannot say whether my father did come to me on Saturday morning or no. I was quite sober, but it might have been the force of imagination or a dream. My father was not illtreated by any one of us. Mrs. Labour stated that no one opened the door for the deceased that morning, and she was of opinion that the un fortunate old man did not come, but that he committed the act on the Friday evening, after leaving her, and threaten ing to destroy himself. Other witnesses were examined, who were merely corro borative of the above ; after which the jury expressed them selves satisfied, and returned a verdict " That the deceased cut his throat, being at the time in a state of temporary mental derangement." A dreadful circumstance occurred at Teignmouth last week, which has caused great excitement in that town. It appears that a young woman, the daughter of a small trades man there, was delivered of an illegitimate child, which she was afterwards discovered to have destroyed. The horrors of the circumstance are increased by the father of the child being said to be the girl's own father ! An inquest has been held on the body of the child, which returned a verdict of wilful mur der against the mother ; but she has not been removed to the county gaol, being yet in too delicate a state.—Devon Ad vertiser. FORCE OF IMAGINATION.—A few years ago a celebrated physician, author of an excellent work on the force of imagination, being desirous to add experimental to his theoretical knowledge, made application to the Minister of Justice to be allowed an opportunity of proving what he as serted by an experiment on a criminal condemned to death. The minister complied with his request, and delivered over to him an assassin, a man who had been born of distinguished parents. The physician told him that several persons who had taken an interest in his family had obtained leave of the mini ster that he should suffer death in some other way than on the scaffold, to avoid the disgrace of a public execution ; and that the easiest death he could die would be by blood-letting. The criminal agreed to the proposal, and counted himself happy in beim -, freed from the painful exhibition which he woul d other wise have been made of, and rejoiced at being thus enabled to spare the feelings of his friends and family. At the time ap pointed the physician repeired to the prison, and the patient having been extended on a table, his eyes bound, and every thing being ready, he was slightly pricked near the principal veins of th legs and arms with the point of a pen. At the four corners of the table were four little fountains, filled with water, from which issued small streams, falling into basins placed there to receive them. The patient, thinking that it was his blood that trickled into the basins, became weaker and weaker by degrees, and the remarks of the medical men in attendance in reference to the quality and appearance of the blood (made with that intention) increased the delusion, and he spoke more and more faintly, until his voice was at length scarcely audible. The profound silence which reigned in the apartment, and the constant dropping of the fountain, had so extraordinary an effect on the brain of the poor patient, that all his vital energies were soon gone, although before a very strong man, and he died without having lost a single drop of blood.—Le Camaion. ----- COQUETTING EXTRAORDINARY.—Some time ago a pair of turtles, seemingly anxious to become united in the silken bands of wedlock, made their appearance before one of the city clergymen in Glasgow, who, finding the requisite certificates all right, proceeded with the ceremony till he came to that part of it where the question is put to the bridegroom if he "is willing to take this woman to be his wife ?" To this necessary query, the man, after considerable hesitation, an. swered " No." "No !" said the Minister, with a look of sur prise, " for what reason?" " Just," said the poor embarrassed simpleton, looking round for the door, because I've taken a 'stunner' (disgust) at her." On this, the ceremony, to thi, and proceeded eyident mortification of the fair one, was broken off, and the par ties retired.
