NOTTINGHAM, Wednesday.—Last night, about half past 7 o'clock, a vast crowd of persons assembled on a piece of ground near the now baths and washhouses, in one of the lower districts of the town, for the purpose of adopting some means of intimidating the bakers, in order that bread might be sold at a lower rate than is now charged. The proceedings were, of course, irregular, and .a part of the mob, consisting principally of boys, went to a baker's, named Needham, who lives near the place of meeting, and in a few moments smashed his windows. They then went to another baker's in the neighbilurbood,- but before they proceeded to any vio lence, asked him if he would lower the price of his bread ? The man having answered that he would, they left his shop without doing any injury. From this place they proceeded to Mr. Hutchinson's, in Fisher gate (smashing the bread shop windows in the way). When they got to Mr. Hutchinson's (who is a poor-law guar dian) they quickly demolished his windows. The crowd then went into Narrow Marsh, Budlestnith-gate, Parlia ment-street" (where they entered a •baker's shop, and stole a quantity of bread), breaking the windows of the various provision shops as they passed. A great number of boys from fourteen to eighteen years of age paraded the streets, and indeed perpetrated most of the damage, being hardened on by the men. They then returned to Snenton, and broke the house windows of Mr. Robert Webster, a highly respectable baker and merchant. Two of the police captured two lads while in the act of throw ing boulders ; but they were speedily rescued by the mob. Several of the delinquents were, - however, ulti matel•y captured, and taken before the mayor the next morning. The master bakers attended at the police office this morning for the purpose of asking for protec tion, considering their property in danger, and antici pating further disorders to-night. The mayor promised that an efficient constabulary force should be at their service. THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS. WARRINGTON.—The very oldest inhabitant of War rington at last gives in, and declares that such excellent weather and such full crops were never before seen, All the country for miles round looks like a well-watered garden. No doubt, we shall have the 41b. loaf at sd. very soon.— Warrington Guardian. THE HARVEST IN SCOTLAND.—This district, in com mon apparently with the length and breadth of the land, has been favoured with a week of magnificent harvest weather, which is rapidly bringing the later crops to maturity, and has enabled the farmer to cut down a large breadth of grain; while.on many of the earlier homesteads lusty stacks are now raising their welcome heads. For 12 clays past the weather has been everything that could be desired for the country at this important season, and the height and steadiness of the barometer indicate a conti nuance of the warmth and dryness which have at last been vouchsafed. The present has not been an early harvest, but should September continue as it has opened, the close of the autumnal labours will not be behind the average. The produce of various fields in the neighbourhood of Dumfries was stacked on Friday, Saturday, and yester day, and never was grain secured in better order, not a single stook having been overthrown or wetted ; while the breezes which had gently moved every sheaf had, when proper time was given, brought the ears to the perfection of dryness. The nights of Tuesday and Wed nesday were close and warm, but on the two following there were sharp frosts and heavy dews, delaying the harvest work until the sun had been some hours in the heavens. Saturday and Sunday nights were again mild, the temperature in town not falling below 57 degrees, the latter,being very foggy, though there was a heavy dew in the morning. Turnips have been bulbing well during the late hot days, and, alike with the pastures and aftermaths, now most luxuriant, have been refreshed with the evening dews. There was, especially consider ing the rapid approach of harvest, a good attendance at our market on iVednesday, but little business done in either cattle or grain, there being always a lull after a principal show day, and the great fall in Mark•lane on the previous Monday taking all parties by surprise.— Dumfries Courier. EDINBURGH.— The weather, we are happy to say, still continues highly favourable for harvest operations, which, accordingly, in the earlier districts, are being carried on with great vigour. Along the . coast of East Lothian the work of cutting is rapidly approaching com pletion, almost all the winter-sown wheat and barley having come under the sickle, and only a few fields of spring -sown wheat remaining to be cut. The drought of the last few days has also shown itself in the rapidly crowding stackyards of the East Lothian farmers, the work of loading being very far advanced. In the more favoured districts of this county nearly two-thirds of the grain has been cut, and a large part of it has been a ready gathered in.—Courant. THE ADJ)ISCOMBE CADETS. Mr. M. J. Legg, proprietor of the Beehive Inn, Woodside, was summoned before a full bench of magi§- trates at Croydon, for permitting drunkenness and riot ous proceedings to be carried on in his house one Sun day during last month. Mr. R. R. Adams presided. Mr. Everest represented the defendant. Mr. Parker, a gentleman connected with a commer cial firm, stated that he was taking a walk on the Sun day in question with his sister and brother-in-law, when they went into defendant's houso to procure some re freshment, which was brought out to them in the gar den, where there were about ten or twelve of the Addis combo cadets assembled. After rdmaining in the garden about three-quarters of an hour, they departed without molestation, but upon gaining the road three of the cadets came behind them, insulted his sister, and knocked him down. H e was k noc k e d down with, such violence that he had suffered from the effects ever since. While in the garden a person, one of the waiters, was knocked down. Mr. Sutherland (magistrate)—By one of the young gentlemen ? Witness—Yes, sir. The landlord was walking about the garden at the time. The Chairman said that the bench considered the ca,se a very flagrant one. The defendant's house was situated in a quiet locality, and the young men from the Addts combe College, if such practices were countenanced, would be allowed to lead a course of dissipation which would be their ruin in after life. If the defendant did not wish the cadets to frequent his house, he could no doubt easily prevent their going there by an application to Colonel Abbott. The defendant was then ordered to pay 51. and costs. Mr. Everest intimated to the bench that he should appeal against the decision: ANOTHER RIOT AT KELE4O.—The toll-gate atlie bridge was forcibly removed for the fifth time, on Fri day evening, by a large crowd of people belonging to the town and immediate neighbourhood. The gate had been newly erected, and the paint upon it was quite wet. As a preventive against detection, the red paint was in the first instance carefully washed off the posts. The gate was then torn off and thrown into the Tweed, amid the cheering of the crowd. Both of the large posts were sawn across near the bottom, the others were pulled up . ; but all vestige of the toll-gate was removed era the crowd left the bridge. The Sheriff of Roxburgh shire has issued a proclamation, stating that he will use all the power that the law confers upon him to bring to justice such parties as may be guilty .of a repetition of the riotous proceedings that have already occurred.— Kelso Mail. MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE.— About three years ago, a tailor, belonging to Montrose, named James Chi istie, suddenly disappeared, leaving a wife and family unprovided for, and all inquiries after his whereabouts proved fruitless. Some time ago, however, Mrs. Christie received a letter from the United States, from her long lost husband, giving his address, pressing her strongly to come out to him with the family, and enclosing the necessary funds for effecting their transit. After due preparation, the wife and f am il y set out for America, and the husband and the wife soon found themselves re united in the midst of their family circle. Things moved on for a time in their usual way when the husband pro posed again to lift their tent, and take their journey for their native land and their old town of Montrose. After some entreaties the wife consented, and the family once reached New York on their way to the shores of Old Caledonia. Christie here took passages for himself, his wife, and each of their five children, in the splendid ship New World, Captain Knight, bound for Liverpool. Their luggage and provisions having all been got on board, the whole family also embarked on the day pre vious to that fixed for the vessel going to sea. In the afternoon Christie said affectionately to his wife that they had everything ready for the voyage except a little brandy for the sea-sickness, which he could get in the morning. He said, however, that he had a desire to see the New York Crystal Palace before leaving, which he would visit that afternoon, and be sure to be on board by nine o'clock that evening, bidding her not to be un easy. From that time to the present she has not been able to obtain the slightest trace of her affectionate hus band. A prosperous voyage brought the good ship and passengers safely to Liverpool, and oa Saturday after noon Mrs. Christie and her five children arrived at Mon trose per train. TESTIMONIAL FOR COURAGE AND HUMANITY.—It will probably be remembered that a short time ago a boy got into the river near to Radcliffe-bridge, Bury, and that a police officer named John Holding, although not a swimmer, jumped into the river to save the life 'of the boy, and in the attempt very narrowly escaped drown ing. Both he and the boy would certainly have perished had not Mr. John Duckworth arrived on the spot in sufficient time to rescue them. The inhabitants of the village, being anxious to manifest their approval of such cow/let, commenced a subscription, which speedily amounted to the sum of 401. 2s. 6d. On Monday even ing last, a public meeting was held in St. Thomas's School, Radcliffe, for the purpose of presenting memo rials to Mr. DuckwOrth, the police-officer, and also to several other persons who had distinguished themselves by their attempts to rescue human life. The Rev. Mr. Fletcher, incumbent of St. Thomas's, presided, and on behalf of the committee and subscribers he presented to Mr. Duck worth a silver cup, beautifully ornamented and suitably inscribed, and also a gold pencil case and a gold pen. He presented to John Holden, the police officer, a patent lever watch, with gold appendages, and a purse containing six guineas. He also presented to William Slater a purse containing two guineas, for hav ing some time since saved the life of a boy, who was drowning in the canal. Its also presented to John Mather a purse, containing two guineas, for having rescued a little boy who had fallen into a lodge of water. He also presented to Henry Partington, a youth, a purse, containing one guinea, for having at tempted to rescue a little boy who had accidentally fallen into the canal. In this case the child was dead when brought out of the water. The recipients returned nuitable acknowledgments. BAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. LANCASHIRE AND YORKSHIRE. The half-yearly meeting of the proprietors was held yesterday at Alanchester, Mr. H. W. Wickham, M. P,, chairman of the directors, presiding. The report of the directors, an abstract of which has appeared in The Sun, having been read, The CHAIRMA.N observed that, in accordance withthe statements made on pre v ious occasions by the direr. tors, no money had been expended during the half year on capital account beyond what was absolutely required to provide accommodation for the increas ing traffic of the railway, except on the Man chester and Southport line, the expenditure on which had been specially a gree d to by the proprietors. Notwithstanding the great increase in the charge for money during the last six months, the actual amount charged for interest on this company's loans bad not at all increased, but remained at 41. 3s. per cont. ; but, while the amount of loans was not less than it bad been at any former period, it was also less, compared with the amount of capital paid up, than the amount held on loan by any other railway in the kingdom. Many of the We ,t Riding shareholders had complained of the position in which they had been placed inconsequence of the shares they held being liable to further calls, and, therefore, having been, for a long time, unsaleable in the market. The directors intended to propose, on this occa sion, a course which they thought would be fair to all parties, which was to divide each of those shares into two, and to consolidate 11/., the amount all eady paid up,learing another share of 31., on which only ss. had been paid up. A s to the 21.155. still liable to be called, the directors had no power to call it up, and it was not likely it ever would be called ; and the same remark would apply to the balance unpaid on the extension shares ; but it was not desirable to alter the nominal account, because by doing away with that they would do away with the power of borrowing, which the company now possessed, and which it was desirable to preserve. The revenue during the last half-year had not increased in thp same ratio as in some other half-years, but that was accounted for in some measure by the present stagnation of trade, and by the interruption to which the line had been subject during the severe weather which was experienced last winter. The total revenue in 1854, from all sources, had been 490,7411., against, in 1853, 477,387/. ; but from this last sum must be deducted the Liverpool and Southport working expenses, 4,2501., leaving the total revenue of 1853 as 473,1371. Therefore, the increase in the half-year ending the 30th day of June last had been 17,6041., of which 5,5501. was increase of pas senger-traffic, 9,5561. increase of goods traffic, and 2,4561. was increase on the Preston and Wyre Railway. On, the other band, the expenditure had been, in 1854, 216,8071., against, in 1853, deducting 4,2501. for the Liverpool and Southport expenses, 203,7501., showing an increase of 13,0511. over the corresponding period of 1853. Qf this increase 4,5781. was attributable to in creased cost of materials, wages, and repairs of loco motives ; 6731 . in wages and rep a i rs o f carriages ; 9091 . in repairs of waggons ; 1,8981. increase in horsekeep, &c. ; 1,3441. increase in compensation • and 5,4001. increase of w ages . Th e ro lli ng stock ' never was in better order than at present, and he had the autho rity of the company's officers for stating that there had been considerable improvement during the last six months. Parliament bad sanctioned the construction of the Liverpool dock branch and the Middleton branch, both of which would be constructed out of the borrowing powers of the company, and therefore would entail no call whatever on the shareholders. There was every reason to anticipate that the opening of the dock branch would greatly increase th% traffic. In making the agree ments with the Leeds, Bradford, and Halifax, and the Wakefield and Leeds Companies, referred to in the report, the directors had had in view --and he believed the result would answer their expectations when the lines were opened—the strengthening of this company's interests in those districts, and the enabling of a greater amount of traffic to come on the line from that quarter than had come up to this period. From circum stances which had recently transpired, the directors did not feel in a position to say , anything with respect to the proposed amalgamation with the East Lancashire - Company. Should matters be in such a state as to enable them to make any conclusive statement on that subject, the directors would take care to call a special meeting of the proprietors to make them fully acquainted with all their proceedings. The chairman concluded by moving the adoption of the report and the passing of the accounts to the 30th of June last. Mr. W. STUART, the vice-chairman, seconded the motion. Mr. J. R. KAY inquired when the Manchester and Southport line was likely to be opened ? Mr. STUART said, no exertions had been wanting to hasten the opening of this line, and he had felt, indivi dually, extreme mortification that it had not already been opened ; but Mr. Dalgleish, the maker of the bridges, laid the fault on the ironmasters. The resolution was carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN moved that a dividend be nowdeclared for the half-year of 11. 15s. per 1001. stook ; and so in proportion on such of the Manchester and Leeds 1001., 501., 251., and 121. shares ' • and the W a k e fi e ld, Pon tefract, and Gool e 501. an d 251. shares ; and the Liver pool and Bury, and the Huddersfield and Sheffield 501. shares, as have not yet been paid up and converted into stock ; of 6s. 3id. per share on the 191. 102. shares, or fifths ; of 2s. 81d. on the 161. F extension shares ; and of as. 11Id: on the West Riding shares, deducting in come tax, and to be payable on the 15th of September instant. Mr. W. STUART seconded the motion, and it was agreed to. This concluded the business of the ordinary meeting, and the proceedings of the special meeting werelopened. The CHAIRMAN said he had already explained the state of the West Riding shares, and the loan capital proposed to be raised would be sufficient to carry out both the new schemes. He concluded by moving a resolution to the effect that the money necessary for the construction of the Liverpool dock branches and the Middleton branch be raised by mortgage, and that the directors be authorised to borrow such moneys, not exceeding 305,0001., at such time and on such terms as they should think expedient. Mr. RILEY seconded the motion, and it was adopted. The CHAIRMAN next moved that each of the West Riding 141. shares, upon which ill. ss. per share had been paid, be divided into two parts, one of 11/., paid in full, and one of 31., with ss. paid up, such division to take place on October 10 ; or, where the amount called up should not have been paid, then as to each such last mentioned share, so soon after that day as the call or calls in arrear, with interest thereon, should have been paid ; and that such new DI. shares should forthwith be consolidated into the general capital stock of the com pany, and should take dividends, pro rata, with such general capital stock as from the Ist of July last. Mr. ANDERTON seconded the motion, which was agreed to, The business concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman. TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION. " Young Ireland" will be mortified to learn that she is about to be linked still closer in the iron embrace of England. "Communication by electric telegraph between Great Britain and Ireland, by way of Holyhead and Howth, was yesterday safely established." So say s the remorseless newspaper account, which goes on coo ll y to describe the hate fulprocess,i Electric Telegraphnthefonowin c g om te p r a m nys : , unsuccess ful efforts on a former o ccas i on to accomplish this ob ject are known, having r eso l ved to renew the attempt, whose - "The gave instructions to the Messrs. Newal and Co., of Sun derland, to prepare a telegraph cable of a similar nature to that with which London and the continent had been connected by way of the Hague last autumn, and which, since the sinking of the wires, has given very general satisfaction. A cable of about 200 miles in length, was accordingly prepared. This cable consists of one wire only, which is encased in a tubing of gutta percha, and the whole is bound up in a hempen rope of about three-quarters of an inch in diameter. Sufficient cable has been manufactured to extend three times across the Channel, but for a few days experiments will be made with the single line only. A ll arran gements for the laying down of the cable havin g been completed the Monarch steamer, accompanied by a tug-boat, left harbour and stea steamed at Mondaythe rate of between fiv e afternoon at half past and six miles an hour, paying out th e ca b le as she Holyhead pro ceededo'clock, with the greatest regularity, At shortly b e f ore 6 o'clock yesterday morning the Mo narc h arrived off e lock, Howth-head, where she waited some time for the rising of the tide, and then proceeded to Balscadden-bay, where the requisite quantity of wire was paid out. A boat was here in readiness, and by its means the cable was safely landed and imbedded in the sandy beach to the depth of about two feet. The Monarch, on the wire having been landed, hove round and steamed for Holyhead. The wire was brought into contact with a galvanic battery of considerable, power, and mes sages were exchanged with the central offices in Loth nstantaneous communi ca ti on was thus bury, London. I effected in the most satis factory manner. Wh en the men ceased work yes t er day evening th e ca bl e had been brought a considerable distance up the beach. It i s intended to bring it over Balscadden-hill, and on by the line of railway to Dublin. By taking the telegraphic wire to Howth, instead of Kingstown, an important advantage is gained — namely, the shorte n i ng of the dis tance by somewhere abyut four miles , _ Howth being but 58, while Kingstown is 62 miles from Holyhead. The of the cable will, we b e li eve, be remaining portion shortly laid down.' • PUBLIC BATHS.—The value of public baths is perhaps more sensibly felt during the prevalence of cholera and other epidemic diseases than at any other time. We are much pleased to find that the inhabitants of Lam beth, which enjoys such an unenviable notoriety for its smoke and sewer nuisances and sanitary defects, have shown their appreciation of the public baths lately esta blished by private enterprise, under the auspices of a joint-stock company, after the parish had twice refused to adopt Sir H. Dukinfield's valuable Baths and wa s h_ houses Act. Since the Lambeth Baths opened on the Ist of April last, until Saturday last the 2d of Septem ber, 103,000 baths have been taken ; in the week ending July 28, 12,178 persons bathed there. The parish enjoys another advantage from this establishment, as we aro given to understand that 300,000 gallons of water weekly, after being used, flows through the sewers, helping to cleanse them, and assisting to destroy noxious and pes tilential vapours. We trust that the success attending the working of this company will induce other persons to form similar combinations in populous places where baths and washhouses are not already erected, and thus give the population the opportunity, at a triflinc, cost, 3f complying with the excellent advic e o f the Board of Health—" Keep yourself THE MURDE f: AT OXTON, CHESHIRE. LIVERPOOL, Sept. s.—Yesterday afternoon Knowles, the maniac who bad shot the policeman Matthews that morning at his own residence, was taken before the ma gistrates at Birkenhead for examination. The accused, on being ushered into the court, shook hands with Mr. Townsend, the magistrate's clerk, and then moved in a familiar manner to the bench. His eyes rolled wildly, and during the taking of the evidence he frequently rubbed his hands, smiled, and winked to several parties who were in the court. He looked healthy and quite ru ddy , b ut appeare d totally unconscious of the enormity of the crime he had perpetrated. The first witness called was hßobert Lancaster, butcher, of Oxton, who said—l ave known the prisoner for about 2 years, and have lived near him for 18 months. I saw him yesterday' evening at Mr. Jones', the Talbot Inn, at Osten. He appeared very much excited in his speech. He was ram bling from one thing to another inhis conversation. He remained at Mr. Jones' from about 8 to 10 o'clock. All the drink he had in my presence was twopennyworth of sherry.' He left the house very house , and I went ssith him to th e gate of his own hounise tl. y Mrs. Knowles opened the door, a n d f rom what she said to me I was induced to remain at the house. The prisoner remained in the b ac k parlour for about two hours, went pg when with him i nto a bedroom over the back a rl v ou y r. in H coe. g continued t o b e exc i ted, and talked and sa herently f or a l ong time. He was talking his his er having been with C a pt s i n C ook on his voyage round world. He the He also p ro p ose d to make certain personski li ng e s, atid talked abo u t go i ng up into the clouds. sitting up, with his coat, waistcoat, and shoes w off ae . Shortly before four o'clock he appeared to fall a ep and I did also for a few minutes. I was awoke eb the prisoner, who got up, and said, " Bob, wer y e you the devil who came to kill me when I was at Brenny-price ?" I b e li eve by that he he was ill b e fo re , meant when 26 years ago. At occupied half an hour in washing his one time h e was hands. He took a toothpick and said he c oa ld draw horses, dogs, &c. His son (William Knowle s ) came i nto the room about a quarter to 5 o'clock, and the prisoner at this time oc cupied himself in looking out through the window. He soon went out, and shortly afterwards John Matthews, constable, came into the room. Matthews spoke to the prisoner in a kind manner, and the prisoner showed him a pair of cloth breeches. After Matthews had been in the room, William Knowles asked me to go into the kitchen to get breakfast. Matthews was left in charge of the prisoner in the bedroom. After being in the kitchen about two minutes, Mrs. Knowles called me, and on going up stairs I saw Matthews holding the back parlour door, to prevent it being opened by some person who was inside. Matthews said, "He has got a gun ; is it loaded ?" I then drew a little back to the hinge side of the door, and said to Matthews I did not know whether the gun was loaded or not. In a few seconds after I heard the report of a gun in the room. Matthews immediately gave a start or jump, crying "I am shot; run for Dr. Godden." I ran into the .kitchen to go through the back door for the doctor ; when I got there I found Matthews had followed me, and was standing at the back door. His breast was covered with blood and the remains of the door. When I saw Matthews again he was dead. William Knowles, son of the prisoner, deposed as follows :—My father is sometimes very passionate. He was excited when he came into the house on Sunday night at ten o'clock. We got Mr. Lancaster to sit up with him a part of the night. I went into the room where my father and Lancaster were sitting two or three times. My father rambled very much in his talk. At twenty minutes past two o'clock I went and called. Matthews out of bed, and he came directly after wards to our house. Matthews remained until sor 6 o'clock, when my father became worse, and I then took Matthews up to him. I then asked Lancaster, who had been up all night with my father, to come downstairs for refreshment. We left the room together. After being in the kitchen about five minutes I heard the report of fire-arms somewhere in the house, as if on the ground floor. Directly afterwards Mathews came into the kitchen and said, " I am a dead man, Mrs. Knowles ; send for the doctor." I then went up stairs, and found my father coming out of the back parlour. I said to him, " Come to bed, father." He went up stairs and I followed, and remained with him until Dr. Godden came. My mother advised me to go for Mr. Matthews. I do not know that my father has been under any re straint. There were firearms kept in a closet near the fireplace in the back parlour. I cannot say whether they were loaded. My father generally kept a double-bar relled gun loaded. I Lave seen than gun since, and it is not now loaded. He was out with a gentleman shooting on Friday and Saturday, but my father had not .a gun with him. Mr. Joseph Godden, surgeon, was next sworn. I live at Oxton. I was called to go and see Matthews at the house of the prisoner. I found him in the kitchen lying on some chairs. I removed his neckcloth and waistcoat. He was quite warm, but appeared to-be in the last stage of life. I removed his clothes, and found a large wound in his left breast, about two inches above the nipple. lie was bleeding slightly from the wound and from the mouth. I conclude, from the flow of blood from the wound, that the lung as injured. It appeared to be a gunshot wound, and believe death was pro duced by it. This was the whole of the evidence given, and the prisoner was remanded until the holding of the inquest upon the body, which took place this morning, and re sulted in the committal of the prisoner for trial for mur der under the coroner's inquest. LETTERS FOR AIISTRA.LIA.—The Post•o{liee autho rities have given notice that ship-letter mails will be made up for Melbourne and Sydney, to be sent out by the steamer Pacific, 1,400 tons burden, which is ap pointed to leave this country on the 30th inst.

RESIGNATION OP ARCHDEACON WILBERPORCE.—Two letters, published the Guardian, of last evening, inform us that that uneasy clergyman, Archdeacon Robert J. Wilberforce, has resigned his preferment in the Church of England, and that his resignation is accepted by the Bishop. The royal supremacy staggers the reverend and venerable gentleman, who desires henceforward, or at least for the present, to be thought of as a lay mem ber of the Church of England, or, in his own words of " the Church." , THE FATAL ACCIDENT AT SIIOEBURYNESS.—I II the account which appeared yesterday of the melancholy ac cident at Shoeburyness by the bursting of a 56-pounder gun, 11 feet long, (and weighing 98 cwt., it was stated that colour-sergeant Rose and Repository -sergeant Lee had both died on the afternoon of the same day on which the accident occurred, owing to the severe injuries they had sustained. Pay Company -sergeant Williams bore the injuries he sustained with such courage that it was at first hoped he would recover, although it was known that his right thigh was broken and would have to be amputated. Unfortunately on his removal on a shutter to the hospital to have the operation performed, it was found that his left [arm had been shattered, and it was apprehended that, if it was indispensable to amputate the arm also, there could be but slight hopes of his re covery. The contents of a letter, received from Shoe buryness yesterday, communicate the intelligence that he died on Tuesday, the day after the accident took place. The three sergeants were all remarkably fine looking and well-conducted men ; they bad all been mar ried and had families, and two of them have left widows to mourn their loss. Colour-sergeant Rose has left a family but no mother to take care of his now orphan children, as he buried his wife about a fortnight ago, she having died of cholera. DISTRESSING SlllClDE.—Yesterday morning a man named Thomas Bowes .committed suicide at No. 140, Lambeth-walk, under the following circumstances : It seems that the deceased was in the service of Mr. George Webb, butter and bacon merchant, of High street, Shoreditch, who recently opened a shop in Lam beth-walk, and of which deceased had the sole manage ment. Webb's affairs becoming embarrassed, he was declared bankrupt about a fortnight back, the deceased, who occupied apartments in the house, being left in charge of the property until the appointment of assig nees. The deceased endeavoured to obtain another situ ation, but failing to do so he yielded to despondency. On Monday night he gave his wife all the money he had, telling her to take care of it. The next morning he went down to the cellar where the butter and bacon were kept. His wife, alarmed by his long absence, followed, but finding the door locked she called another lodger, when, on forcing open the door, they found the man lying on the floor in a pool of blood, which flowed from a terrific gash in the throat, inflicted by a knife, which lay by his side. Life was not wholly extinct, but before medical aid could be procured he had expired. The deceased, who was about forty years old, was con sidered to be a most trustworthy servant. The wife and six young children are thus rendered wholly destitute. The police have taken charge of the property on the pre mises until transferred to the custody of Webb's assig. noes. MIRACULOUS ESCAPE AT SYDENHAII.—About one o v ioo k p.m., yesterday, a cart and horse, the property of Mr. B. Brown, corndealer, Peckham Rye, was standing on the siding a t F orest Hill, when a train passed, and caused the animal to take fright and run on the railway towards the Sydenham station, with a boy in it 13 years of age. After passing at speed some dis tance on the railway, the horse was stopped by the railway police and porters. The poor little fellow was taken out of the cart bleeding from severe wounds in the mouth and lips, caused by the extreme jolting of the cart, and immediately taken to Dr. Gilbert, who paid instant attention to the case, and dressed his wounds.

These volumes present us with a departtnent of 'history which possesses the interest of novelty. Miss Strickland has set the example of finding in the lives of queens and princesses a subject worthy of the attention of the biographer, but her admir able series of memoirs commenced with Matilda of Flanders, queen of William the Conqueror • and all those who have followed her have con fi ne d researches to a later period. The history of our early English kings.has always been comparatively obscure, and that of their consorts is of course still less known. Mrs. Hall, however, appears to have found no difficulty in collecting sufficient facts to enable her to commence her histories with Cartis raandua, the step-mother of the renowned Boadi cea, and even to trace the fortunes of the three Guenevers, the brides of King Arthur of famous memory. Among the most interesting of the lives here portrayed, we may mention, be sides those already alluded to, are those of St. Helena, the mother of the Emperor Con stantine ; Bertha, who first introduced Christi anity into the Saxon Heptarchy ; and Elfrida whose unprincipled ambition has often formed a subject for romance. The lices of most of these sovereigns curiously exemplify the rudeness and barbarity of the times. This is espe: iAlly shown in the tragic history of Ethelgina, the queen of Edwy the Fair, who was cruelly murdered from motives of political jealousy. To those who are fond of historical studies and antiquarian research, these volumes will be most acceptable, as providing for them a field of investigation and instruction which has been hitherto unnoticed. Of course, from many reasons, from the violent spirit of the times, the fl.eitmtlaeleopcpaopratcuintiietyg afforded for the developme nt . of evidence respecting the naratives cannngt that attaches itselfot the spirit of her ag has swayed the and the defective chain of their domestic lives, most of possess the individual interest age,destinies But of nations, and influenced o the biography of a queen who derive much really valuable the reader will find that from an apparently unpromising and that informa su ti b o j n ec r t e , sp h e e ct w in ill g some of the lives, such as Boadicea and those early times, the Empress interest of more modern memoirs.

THE EDINBURGH TOWN COUNCIL AND THE 46th REGIMENT. "CHOOSE YOUR COMPANY." At a meeting of the Town Council, held on Tuesday last, a long report from the Lord Provost's Committee upon the opening of West Princes' -street Gardens was submitted. It gave an account of the steps taken by the committee with the view of coming to some arrange ment with the proprietors of the gardens, " whereby, for an annual payment to be made by the Town Council, the gardens may be thrown open to the public two or three days a-week." Dr. gIBBALD stated that before keys were given care was always taken to ascertain the character of the parties applying. He was, however, in favour of the opening of the gardens, and intimated that he would enforce the views of the Council at the next meeting of the proprietor'. After some remarks by Mr. Hill, Bailie Fyfe, and Mr. Forrester, Mr. FRASER observed that the wish to have these gardens opened was universal in Edinburgh. It had been stated that the proprietors bad been careful before giving keys, and that a certain number were given to the garrison in the Castle ; now, supposing the 46th Regiment were here, be thought the company of the officers would be by no means acceptable to the public. (Loud laughter.) The report was approved of.— Scotsman. IR ELAND. DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY. Our corn markets are still declining. At the Dublin Corn Exchange, yesterday, there was a further fall in everything but old feeding oats, which has scarcely been affected, and now remains at a very high price. Old wheat was 2s. per barrel, and new wheat from 2s. to 3s. per barrel lower ; oats and bere were also materially below the rates of last week, and Indian corn as well as foreign wheat was *site neglected. The decline in wheat here, from the highest point, has been fully 12s. per barrel, which is quite equivalent to 208. per imperial quarter. There were lower prices at our Stock Exchange yes. terday for Government securities as well as shares, some of which have recently advanced considerably. DEPARTURE OF THE LORD-LIEUTENANT.—Hig Excel. lency Earl St. Germans is to leave this city for England on Saturday next. The Privy Council is to meet that day to swear in Lords Justices. The Freeman's Journal states that "it is rumoured that it is not improbable that his Excellency may not return to this country in his capacity of chief governor." ALARMING PROGRESS OF THE CHOLERA. —The deaths from cholera in Belfast have considerably increased within the past week. The Banner of Ulster, of yester day, states that the cholera has broken out in the retired and usually healthy village of Glenarm, and with alarm. ingly fatal consequences ' • the numb er o f cases reported since Saturd a y l as t being 15, of which no fewer than 12 had proved fatal. REDUCTION IN TEE PRICE or WHISET.—The price of whisky in Cork was yesterday reduced 6d. per gallon, from Bs. 4d. to 7s. 10d. RIOT AT BARNUM'S EXHIBITION.—A terrible row says the New York Observer, took place at Lynchburg' last, week, between the showmen of Barnum's mammoth exhibition and the citizens of Lynchburg, resulting from the great number of extra charges made, notwithstand ing the published notice that the whole was to be seen for 50 cents. It was reported that five persons, two of the citizens and three of the showmen, were very seri ously if not fatally injured, and many others slightly. The affair _wound up by the entire demolition of the ticket -office and the destruction of its contents, together with no little incidental damage to the show fixtures. The scene is represented to have been fearful ; men, women, and children were assembled under the huge tent, and the greatest consternation prevailed. Unable to leave the tents, being in some cases deserted by their protectors, and in all afraid of being shot or knocked down in the melee, the alarm of the ladies was excessive. NATAL COFFEE.—A very beautiful sample of coffee grown on the farm of W. &nenlon„ Esq., near the Um blanga, was shown to us the other day. The berries are as large, clean, and full as any we have seen im ported. The plants ar o f rom B our b on seed, sown not quite three years ago ; they have received no great attention, but are growing with remarkable vigour. This is the first year of bearing, and yet so heavy has been the crop that several of the branches were born* do'wnwards with the weight. The coffee plant, it is now pltced beyond doubt, grows vigorously and bears well, in this district, and its rapidly increasing cultivation will, before long, tell on the market.—D'Urban Mer cury. y—T(wheedSneep: s es F t e A r i d ß a . tem li b it e l r sT f o a ra ir HALF- e Y ne x e A d tiL a v t L B E ri A s T to n i xa y day).
