Mr. Clark reminded the Court that the gaol of Newtiate was a county as well as a city prison, and the Governor had a doubt as to whether he could liberate the person* alluded to until the Grand Jury were discharged. The CtimitmAN said that the matter would be discussed at the county-day, so that a prolonged in convenience would not take place as regarded the prisoners. Mr. Clark again ❑rged the hardship to the per sons in c ustody under no !emit accusation, and reite rated the opinion of the Judges. The CHAIRMAN replied, that he saw the propriety of the s uggestion, and the Grand Jury must he con sidered a s discharged, and a communication should be made to them to that effect. in order to be driven home with them, bur the de fendant used the most violent language, and threat ened to knock him down off the box ; on which he alighted, and went home. Mr. Sergeant SELLON—Di 41 you tell him that you were the servant of Mr. Bell ? John Darby, aged 39, described as a baker, and of tradesman like appearance, was indicted for ut tering a bill with a forged acceptance for 251. 55., with intent to defraud Joseph Brook, well knowing the same to be forged. Mr. CLARKSON stared the case for the prosecution at considerable length. Mrs. Mary Ann Brook was the wife of the pro secutor, who was a corn-dealer residing in Foley street. On the 27th of July, 1830, the prisoner, who was a customer, and owed about 351. odd, called in the absence of witness's husband, and said he came to settle his debt, and gave witness 101. in money and a bill in payment. He asked if Mr. Brook would object to taking the bill, and witness said not if it was a good one. The prisoner re plied that it was as good as the b and said the parties whose names were to it were highly respec table, and pointed to that of Watsons', the army agents, of Charlotte-street, Portland-place, as the acceptors. He also pointed out that of George Carew on the back of the bill, and said it was from that person he received the bill. 'Witness took the bill in payment, and gave credit for it, supposing it to be a good one, Before /he bill became due the prisoner incurred another account ; to the amount of 81/. Witness—l did ; when he called a boy to assist him in forcing► me from the box. Mr. Bell—And he afterwards allowed that boy to ride on the box with him. In 3 vols., THE INVISIBLE GENTLEMAN. By the Author of " Coartley, the Fatalist." One of the most entertaining fictions we have met with for a long time ; the idea is very original, and brought in'o play with a lively air of truth, which gives a dramatic reality even to the supernatural."—LiteraryG.lzette. Mr. Bell entered the coach with hi, wife, and he saw his footman seat himself on the box; he heard some altercation, and on his arrival at his residence in Gower-street he found his servant at home, hav ing quitted his seat on the box. Mr. Sergeant SELLON—Did the coachman make any offer or representation to you in the coach as to the servant riding on the box ? Mr. Bell—He did not, nor did he explain why he refused to let him keep his seat. Mr. Sergeant SELLON asked the defendant what reason he could give for his conduct ? Defendant —I sit upon a butter tub, which serves as a tempo rary seat, which the servant did not think good enough for him, and he grumbled and made a great mutiny. I told him while there was a place behind he coach for a servant, he had no right on the box, and he might walk. I only received a shilling fare. Mr. Bell here said that the defendant, en his ar rival at his house, said that he was not obliged to carry the servant on the box. Mr Sergeant SELLON—Did he say anything about the number of persons he was obliged to carry ? Mr. Bell—He did not. Mr. Sergeant SELLON, of er an elaborate explana ion of the law and his own sentiments, convicted th e defendant for his abusive language in the pe nalty of 20i. and costs, and in default of payment he wit., committed to pri-on.

We suspect the character of the Con servative is mis-printed. Should it not be " a waste al l ?" • Dear Sir,—What is a Conservative, but a save-all ? a Radi cal, an extinguisher 1 and a genuine Whig, a pair of snuffers ? Yours, A FARTHING RUSH-LIGHT. Yesterday forenoon, as two laden coal-wag gons were pas•ing each other in opposite directions in the Lower-road, Islington, the driver of one of them by some accident got between the two, and had his body crushed in a most dreadful manner ; be was taken into a surgeon's shop, and ultimately conveyed to the Middlesex hospital on a shutter, groaning dreadfully. At Chaumont considerable remains of Roman constructions have recently been discovered. They con sist of a wall about 100 feet in length and 3 feet in thickness, divided from distance to distance by five other walls. Near them is an ancient oven, at the mouth of which some cinders being found they were removed, and a middling.sized medal of red copper was picked up. It bears the effigy of AwromNus Pius crowned with laurel, and has the inscription :—M. Antoninus Aug. Pius. On the reverse is a goddess with one hand stretched out, and holding a cornucopia in the other.--Galignani's Messenger. CORPORATION REFORM.—A petition i s at present preparing at Hull, on the subject of municipal re form, the object of which is to place the close corporations of the kingdom on such a liberal footing that they may be fairly open to such of the inhabitants of the cities and bo• roughs of the kingdom as may be considered by their fel low-citizens best fitted to till the municipal offices, without distinction of sect or party. It is, we understand, intended to intrust the presentation of this important document, which may be considered the first of a series, to Mr. HILL, the new Member for litill...Lecda Mercury. Mr. Joseph Brook stated, that on returning home on the day in question, his wife gave him the bill of exchange, which he considered part of a genuine tran -action. Ott the 17th of Svptember following the bill was returned dishonoured, mailed with the words " the acceptor is nut known." Witness im mediately went to the prisoner, and informed him of the circumstance. He -aid it was very sir tugs, but that Carew was out of town, but would be in London in a few days. Witness went to the house pointed out by the prisoner as Carew's, but no such person was known there or in the neighbour hood. Witness then made inquiries as to Duff, with the same result. Witness then went to Messrs. Watson, the army agents, and they declared the bill to be a forgery. In a few days after witness went again to the prisoner's house and found it shut up, and' Darby missing. Did not see him again until December last year, when witness met him on the corn-market, and caused him to be apprehended. Several persons gave the prisoner ant excellent character for honesty and good conduct. The Jury pronounced a verdict of Guilty. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, JAN. S. George CuVey, a private in the 3d battalion of the Ist regiment of Foot Guards, was indicted for assaulting D Avid George Alderson, one of the con stables of this county, on the 18th of September last, when in the execution of his du'y. The defendant pleaded guilty. Mr. ALLEY, for she prosecution, could not allow a case of so aggravated a nature to pass off in that manner without some observation. CHAIRMAN—AIthough the defendant has pleaded guilty, you wish to state the facts of the case ? Mr. ALLEY—Yes, Sir, by calling. the prosecutor, who, as a parish officer, went to apprehend this man upon an order of affiliation made by Mr. Hoskins and Mr. Griffiths, two of the Magistrates of the county, when he was assailed by a number of other men, and cruelly maltreated; beyond the prosecu ,orhe (Mr. Alley) would not adduce testimony. Mr. Alderson, pursuant to a warrant a fined by the Magistrates named by the Learned Counsel, went repea'edly to the barracks, with the view of apprehending the defendant. He showed the war rant to the officers in command, and wished to have the man delivered up to him, or, if more agreeable to all parties, that an appointment should be made fur the defendant to meet him at the Marylebone Police-office. The officers said that they could make no order, nor would they lend any facility towards apprehending the man, adding that he (witness) must act by a soldier as he would by another man, and take him when he could lay hold of him. Wit- IleSB, after many fruitless attempts, heard that the defendant was at or near King's-mews barracks, Charing-cross, and, as he was unknown to him, he took the mother of the child to identify him, and she did so. Witness found the defendant in a tap room, and told him he must walk with him, which he refused to do. There were fourteen or fifteen other soldiers in the tap-room, some of whom shook him, and put themselves in a menacing attitude, and at the same time used threatening language. CHAIRMAN—Ye s, that may have been; but they are not before the Court. What did the defendant do ? Witness—He got hold of my arm, and then struck me a violent blow on my body, fr“m the consequence of which I was ill several days, and I feel the effects of it down to this moment. Mr. ALLEY—You have had some experience in this way as an officer of so extensive a parish; do you frequently meet with such obstructions in the dischaige of your duty ? Witness—No Sir; the officers of every other regiment but this deliver up their men, when applied for under such circum stances. Mr. Chesterton, the Governor of the House of Correction, informed the Court that the defendant was already in custody tinder a sentence of three months, two of which %vere unexpired. CHAIRMAN—What is that for ? Mr. ALLEY—Oh, Sir, for the disobedience of another order of the same kind. This is the second charge. _ _ _ . The CHAIRMAN then delivered the judgment of the Court. Tnat for this offence the prisoner be confined in the H use of Correction, and kept to hard labour, for three calendar months, to com mence at the expiration of the term for which upon another charge he was in durance; and if that was two months, he must consider himself a prisoner for five months henceforward. DISCHARGE OF THE MIDDLESEX GRAND JURY.--01.. PRACTICABILITY OF INTERMEDIATE SESSIONS• During the last week very considerable inconve nience has arisen in the Metropolitan Courts of Cri minal Judicature, in consequence of the sudden manner in which the assent of the Home Secretary of State was put in force relative to the holding an intermediate Sessions, so as to effect a more frequent gaol delivery. This morning John Claik, Esq., the Clerk of Ar raigns for the city of London and the Home Circuit, made an application to the Court relative to an obstruction being thrown in the way of the delivery of the gaol of Newgate, in consequence of the new order or regulation of this Court, which had ad journed the sitting of the Grand Jury; hence t he persons whose bills of indictment had been ignored could not be discharged. The CHAIRMAN said that what the Court had done had been done after considerable deliberation, and tinder a high sanction. Mr. Clark said he was deputed by the Judges presiding at the Old Bailey Sessions :o represent to this Court that they were of opinion that, until the Grand Jury were discharged, the persons in confinement could not be liberated, although no bills were preferred against them, which was con sidered, as regarded them, a good reason for com plaint, and an act of gross injustice. The CHAIRMAN, after adverting to the history of the difficulty into which they were plunged, said CORPORATION REFORM.—Mr. CHARLES PEAR soN._Yesterday Mr. Charles Pearson applied to the LORD MAYOR to know whether his Lordship had given directions for placing upon the paper of Corporation business two resolutions which, at the last Common Council, he had intimated his inten tion of bringing forward to amend the municipal representation cf the City ? The LORD MAYOR had given directions for in serting the notices on the paper of business. It was, his Lordship said, his intention to give the fullest latitude to free discussion. He had seen it announced in the public papers that the Livery intended to ask for a Common Hall upon the sub ject of the ballot. He would certainly, if applied to, call the Common Hall, as he had pledged him self to do so upon all occasions; but as the constituency of the City was now changed, he did not see how a meeting of the Livery could he properly held to petition Parliament, without the concurrence of the householders of the City. Mr. Pearson had not heard of the requisition, but it appeared to him quite clear that there could be no objection to a meeting of the Livery to peti tion Parliament, as heretofore, upon that or any other subject. He trusted he should see the day when the corporate institutions of the City of Lon don would be freed from the abuses which now surround them, and they might then serve as models for the newly-enfranchised burghs. The present state of the representation of the city in Common Council was most preposterous. Bread-street ward for instance, elected as many representatives as Far ringdon ward, whereas upon a fair calculation, upon a combined view of taxation and population of the wards of the city, Bread-street should return three Common Councilmen, while the proportion of Farringdon-wit hoot would be 59. The LORD MAYOR considered that, as far as he was able to discover upon a first glance, to be very reasonable; but what, said his Lordship, will you do with the Aldermen ? Mr. Pearson—Make them better, if that be pos sible; if not, we'll dispense with them altogether. The LORD MAYOR shook his head, and intimated that there were many difficulties to be encountered before the latter alternative could be adopted. The police could not act effectively without the guidance of a magistracy, and nobody impugned the capa bility of the City Magistrates, constituted as they were by the voice of a free constituency. But he spoke in reference to the particular question of equalising the representation of the wards: Mr. Pearson stated that the election of Alder men must afterwards be regulated by the same principle. It was a monstrous anomaly that the pocket Alderman of the ward of Bassishaw, which contained 130 houses, and paid about 8001. to the land tax, should fill the civic chair as often as the representative of Farringdon, which contained 3,700 houses, and paid about 14,0001. to the land tax. The following are the notices iuserted on the paper. Considerable opposition is, we believe, expected to the propositions, on the ground that the chartered rights of the citizens of London will be deeply affected by them. " That it is expedient to amend the representation of the citizens of London, in Common Conned, by adapting the same to the existing state of the population and muni cipal taxation of the various wards of this city. " That it is expedient gradually to reduce, and ultimately to remit, the fine upon the admission of all householders, paying their scot and bearing their lot, to the freedom of this city, with a view to the removal of unnecessary re strictions upon trade, and that the inhabitants may not be subjected to municipal taxation except by representatives of their own choosing." G UILDHALL. Mr. Farr, a respectable grocer in Fleet-street, at tended befure Mr. Alderman ANSLEY, to show cause why he refused to pay the shilling which the Reform Act allows Overseers to collect with the poor-rate, to defray the expenses of making out the lists of 101. householders, in cities, towns, and boroughs. The Overseer of St. Bride's stated that the ex penses incurred in enforcing the Reform Act had amounted, in the first year, to 401. in that parish, nor would it be much less in any subsequent year. The Secondary had claimed 181., as the quota due from that parish towards the expense of printing the general list of household vote's in the City, and the shilling allowed by the Statute would not coun tervail the charges it had put the parish to. Some paid the shilling readily, while others resisted, and he thought that if they were justified in resistingpay ment, the whole of the inhabitants should be ex cused. To settle that point, they now came before the Magistrate. Mr. Alderman AN3LRY, after reading some clauses in the Act, thmTht the payment of the shilling was optional. In counties, a party could not be forced to pay the shilling. If he gave notice to be regis tered, then he was obliged to pay, but not other wise. The Legislature could not intend to be so absurd as to place voters in cities on a different footing ; and unless Mr. Farr had asked the over seers to put him on their list, they could have no claim to any payment for doing so. Mr. Farr said his objection was, that being a liveryman, and having a vote as such, he ought not to be tilled upon to pay for securing him a useless power to vote as a householder. The Overseer thought the difference made by the law between county and city voters was not so un reasonable. No officer in a county could be supposed to be acquainted with the description of every free holder therein, and the law, therefore, required the voter to claim his right. Not so in cities. In pa rishes the overseer necessarily knew every 101. householder, and he was therefore bound, by a pe nalty of 5001. to put every one in his list. It was ultimately agreed that a question should be submitted to the law authorities whether a livery man, not acquiring a right to vote by the insertion of hie n ame in th e h ouse h o ld er s' list, should be com pelled to pay a shilling for that insertion. HATTON-GARDEN. HACKNEY COACHES.—Yesterday John Veale, late driver of the hackney-coach, 735, was summoned before Mr. Sergeant SELLON, by Isaac Ward, foot man to Robert Bell, Esq., of 50, Gower-street, Bedford-square, charged with having used abusive language, and refusing to carry him on the coach box. Ward, on Christmas evening last, went to the coach-stand, in Southampton-row, Holborn, by his master's orders, and told the defendant to drive to No. 7, Russell-square, to take up his master and mistress, who had been at a party. On their en tering the - coach witness took his seat upon the box AN IMPUDENT INTRUDER —A shabby-looking fellow, who gave his name Wild, was charged wi th iaving impertinently intruded himself into the house of Mrs. Ti avers, of Gloucester-place, Queen square, and threatening to murder the prosecutria and Miss Wilhelmina Pearson, a delicate interesting young lady about eighteen years of age. Mrs. Travers deposed that on Sunday evening she entertained a select party of ladies arid gentlemen at her house, and their conversation was interfered with by a knocking at the door, and the receipt of a gross and impudent letter from the prisoner, reque-t -log aid. She sent word by the servant that she wiis 'lot at home, when the prisoner commented the most violent abuse, and threatened to go up stair, arid stick a knife into everybody in the place. A genii. man, one of the guests, caused him to be taken to the sta•ion-house. Miss Pearson corroborated this evidence, and she swore that in consequence of the prisoner's conduct she went in bodily fear. The prisoner did not deny the threats held out, and he was ordered to find good bail. Robert Gourlay, a goldsmith, arid three others, were charged w►th being riotous at three o'clock on Monday rn ,, rning. Mr. LAING (,o Gourlay)—What are you ? Gourlay—A working-goldsmith. Mr. LAlNG—Where do you live ? Gourlay— No. 65, Russell-square. Mr. LAING—I' IS strange for a working-goldsmith to live there ? Gourl4y—l am only a lodger. Mr. LAING—Who do you lodge with Gourlay --With a relation, who allows me to lodge there. Mr. LAING still thought it very strange. Gourlay —The house did belong to Sir Thomas Lawrence, your Worship, but it is now taken care of by one of his executors, with whom I lodge. This explanation satisfied the Magistrate, sad the charge being of a trifling nature, the prisoners were dismissed under a promise to attend on Monday next to give evidence against another party against whom a summons was granted. BOW-STREET. SINGULAR CASE.—A man, named Constante Ambrogi, an Italian, a manufacturer of images, at tended at this office, to ask the advice of the Ma gistrates under the following circumstances:—He stated that about a month since, his brother, who was also an Italian, while suffering under the pain occasioned by a bad tooth, went to the house of a dentist, near Long-acre, to whom he applied to have it extracted; Mr. Purland, in consequence, proceeded to perform the operation, and the young man returned home. The same evening he felt such excruciating pain, that a surgeon in Holborn was sent for, who, on examining his mouth, said that a splinter of the tooth remained in the jaw, and with an instrument he removed a piece of bone, which he said was the splinter of which he spoke. From thenceforth the young man became worse, and on the twelfth day died, as complainant be lieved, of mortification, from his jaw having been broken—a conclusion to which his friends came, in consequence of the surgeon having declared that to be his belief about three hours before he expired. Mr. MINSIIULL asked whether any examination had been made by the parish searchers ? The wife of Ambrogi said that the searchers had come to make inquiries respecting the death of the deceased and were told that he had died of a broken jaw' under the circumstances already described ; they however, mode no further remark, and, on receiving the usual gratuity, went away. Mr. MINSHULL remarked that this was extremely inexcusable, and that the searchers ought to have math such a report as would have led to the summoning of a Coroner's Inquest ; as that had not been done at the time, however, he questioned whether i, might not now be too late for such a proceeding. Ambrogi had taken a cast from his brother's jaw after his death, from which it was obvious that the jaw must have been broken. Ambrogi having stated that he had applied to the Magistrate in consequence of the recommendation of his solicitor, _ _ _ Mr. MINSItULL desired him again to apply to that gentleman, and ascertain whether the Inquest might not yet be held; and added, that if he would at tend at the office this day, he would give him any assistance in his power. APPREHENSION OF HETHERINGTON, THE PRO PRIEIOR OF THE POOR MAN'S GUARDIAN.—Ste vens, the Bow-street officer, on Monday reported to T. HALLS, Esq., and Dr. ROBINSON, the sitting Magistrates, that in consequence of instructions re ceived from the Stamp-office, he had been in search of Hetherington, who had been convicted at thi office ior being the printer of the Poor Man's Guardian, and for having sold it without a stamp. He had been summoned to the office to 'how cause why this conviction should not takt place, arid had not thought proper to attend ; a warrant was in consequence issued for his apprehension, and, with a good deal of difficulty, Stephens ascertained that he had gone northward, and thinking that he would be most likely at Bir mingham, from his having taken him there on a former occasion, he set off fur that place, and in hi, way thither had stopped at Coventry on Saturday morning. On the same evening, about half-past seven o'clock, he saw Hetherington descend from one of the Birmingham coaches, and took him into Y 7.-- custody. He brought him to town and lodged him "Thi the-New Prison, CletLai wail. On Sunday morning, Hetherington, Stevens said, was anxious to have his liberty till the next day, and for that purpose offered to deposit SOL is his hand, but he refused. For the sake of consistency, and supporting " right :Against might," as he calls it, this man has already undergorie twelve months' incareerarion. MARLBORO UGH-STREET. Mike Flannagan, a sharp Irish lad, just entering his " teens," was brought before Mr. DYER on the following account :—A working man stepped fo:- ward and stated, that late on Saturday night, wish ing to purchase a few onions to relish his beef steak supper, he went up to the prisoner, who was crying" logins a halfpenny a bunch," and requested to be accommodated with a lot, at the same time, having no smaller change, asking him to retur n him the difference of half-a-crown, which he put in his hands. The whole stork of the " ingin merchant's" cash amounting but to five pence halfpenny, he wished the complainant to wait until he procured change at a neighbouring public , house. The complainant took the precaution to watch the prisoner into the house, and to station himself at the door, in race the urchin should endea. your to give him the slip, but after waiting a sufficient time to exhaust his patience, he tv,dked into the public-house and ascertained that change had been procured, and that the prisoner had made his exit at another door. About an hour afterwards, as witness was marketing for his Sunday's dinner, he was attracted by a voice which appeitted Familiar to him, and on going up to a stall, he discovered the young delinquent, driving a roaring trade in turnips, he having laid out the half crown in a small stock, and commenced business on his own account. The pristiner affected not to recognise him, but a witness was procured who saw the ha f--crown given to him, ,llrd heard a companion advise him to " cut away" with it. - He was remanded. QUEEN SQUARE. ROBBERY OF PLATE —CAUTION TO FAMILIES.— Elizabeth Cull was charged with stealing a sliver tankard and several other articles of plate, &c., from the dwelling-house of Mrs. Snowden, at Windsor. The prisoner, who is about 30 years of ag-, been a girl of the town ever since she was 14 , years of age. She has been tried and convicted at the Old Bailey Sessions about two years ago, arid has either four or five natural children living in d•ffereat parts of the country.—The prisoner was remanded. WORSHIP STREET. Two women, named Sutton and Smith, who have been in custody sit,ce t:it• 271 h December, were brought before Mr. BROUGHTON for a final exami. nation, changed with having robbed a poor deaf and dumb man of 12s.—Discharged. On Monday Jame., Preston, alias .11PCa till, and William Showell, were charged with desperately assaulting the police. Preston was identified as a frequent visit r at this office. The MAGISTRATE held them to bail, arid to give .48 hours' notice, and bound over the policemen to prosecute 'hem at the Sessions. Ann Davis, of Gecrge-street, Bieckfriars, Wag charged with robbing Joseph nison, a carpenier, of his watch, valued at 41., a parse containing 11. 175., and some working tools.—Remanded until Taursday. THAMES POLICE. CRUELTT AT SEA.—On viond Catita;ri Thomas Trist roaster of the schooner Lord Nelson, a 1 uit vessel from St. Michael's, was charge , l watt having committed a violent assaul on Franco. Ram,ey, a sea onm, during the outward-bound voyage. Tie complainant said that on the 31 of D. oember, at four, A 31., the Captain came from below, and having sworn at the crew, who he aid had made a noise over ilia head, he turned io complainant, and calling him by an opprobrious 'lame, declared that he had let the ship go out of is course. Complainant said that he did not de -erre the name more than the Cap; ain ; upon which 'he defendant swore at him, and told him to keep he helm hard up. The complainant said it was 'lard up, and the Captain then struck him two se -ere blows with a thick piece of rope, which knocked inm down. The Cap am c ['tinned to s rike him, ill a seaman came up and aski-d if he was going to commit murder ? The complainant said he was unwell for some time, and his tight eye was blinded for two days. Several of the crew corroborated the statement, and said the complainant had kept the helm hard up. Captain Trist said in defence, that the fellow would not put the helm up, which threw him into so tremendous a passion, that he would have dashed his brains out, if he had had the power. Mr. BRODERIP told him that if his passion was so tremendous, he was unfit to command a ship. It was clear from the evidence of the crew that the man was riot in fault, and he therefore held the defen dant to bail, to answer the, charge at the next Ad miralty Sessions. UNION-HALL. A PRISON BARBER.—On Monday a journeyman hair-dresser, named Ginn, was charged with creating a disturbance at the execution of John Hallaban, at floraemouger-lane Gaol. The defendant was itt the habit of shaving the inmates of the gaol, and conceiving, from his long connexion with them, that he had a prescriptive right to be present at all exe cutions, and to take up his place within the barriers, in order to have a better view of ghat was going forward, he accordingly posted himself in this situa tion. On Monday morning the constable on duty told him this could not be allowed, but the de fendant vociferated that he was the barber, and when he was turned away, he was so enraged at his view of the execution being spoiled, that he struck the constable. The MAGISTRATES inflicted a small fine on him. TURNING WOOL INTO FUR.—The wool growers of Podolia and the Ukraine, and also in the Asiatic province of Astrachan, have a peculiar method of turning wool into fur. The lamb, after a fottniglit's growth, is taken from the ewe, nourished with milk and the best herbage, and wrapt up as tight as possible in a linen co vering, which is daily moistened with waren water, and is occasionally enlarged as the animal increases in size. In this znanuer for .v.ol becomes soft and curly, and is by .gegrees changed into shining beautiful locks. This is the kind of fur which passes under the name of Astrachan, end is considered on the Continent as the most genteel l►ning for winter cloaks. Similar trills with German sheep have been attended with the same success. The Saxon breed of sheep have, within the last ten years, su perseded the merinos, and their wool is of superior quality. A curious circumstance occurred within a few days. A person from Bungay Was travelling to Norwich, when, turning his eye into the plantation near Brooke, he saw a man hanging from a tree, and struggling es it lie load just been suspended. The traveller ins,antly cut him down, loosened the rope from his throat, and succeeded in restoring him to Lie and his faculties. This was no sooner accomplished than the person (whoever he was) rose and said, Thank you, Sir," and walked quietly away without further parley.—Norwich Mercury. _ _ . - VERDICT IN DUNGARVON.---The Jury has drought in a verdict of •' Unju-titia.ble Homicide," which is, in fact, a verdict of Wilful Murder, against Mr. CouarNav, of Lismore, the Magistrate, who ordered the tiring, and also against one of the Marines, but who is un• known to the Jury. The man shot on this occasion was FINDIAS FITZGERALD. A second inquest is now sitting upon another case, a poor man, who on the same occasion .vas mortally wounded, arid is since dead. The verdict must, of course, be the isame.—. Waterford Chronicle. HYDROPHOBIA.-A case of this teartut ma lady has just occurred in this town. The sufferer is a flue eight years of age, who was thrown down and se verely injured in the face and other pl.ices, on her way home from school, by a dog belonging to J. 13.
