Their Lordships have been pleased to commute the sentence to two year.' imprisonment, and the cul prit is to remain on board the San Josef until further orders. _ _ _ FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAT. CITY, WEDNESDAY EVENING. TIMES.—From certain indications in the Money Market it may be inferred that the new Banking Bill is now exercising a decided infleence upon it, and that this influence is of a salutary description. Every one who has paid any attention to the matter, is aware of the multitude of new and extended schemes for railways which have lately been introduced, and of the eagerness with which they have been sought after, not so much for investment as fur the sake of the premium at which, with scarcely an exception, they have been brought into the market. From such beginnings, at many former periods, panics in the money market have usually arisen ; and could the means of aiding these specula tions have been furnished them, as they were for merly, in the shape of local notes, issued at discretion and without control, there is little doubt that this would now be the case. Luckily for the country, the local banks situated in those districts where such schemes are mainly encouraged and dealt in have all or most of them reached the limit which is permitted them by the new law, and are sending up to London for supplies of bank-notes for such of their customers as require aid, which must be governed, however, by a very different principle from that which might regulate their own issues; and the caution thus induced, will soon check, without further harm, all gambling in railway shares, and any purchases, exc'pt for investment. No notion prevails that the banks themselves regard this as an inconvenient restraint upon them, as a prudent banker would be as scrupulous in issuing his own notes as those for which he must give sterling value, and his baving reached the limit of his circulation is always a sufficient answer to those cus tomers whose advances he would think it right to stop, but whom he would not venture to disoblige if they knew he possessed the power of issuing without cost to himself. The English Stock Market is taking a very firm tone, from the increased operations of the Government broker. Besides purchasing 15,0001. Three-and-a- Quarter per Cents. on account of the savings'-banks, which exceeds his usual purchase by 5,0001., he has this day bought 15,000/. Three per Cents. for the South Sea guarantee fund. Similar operations were effected yes terday. As may be readily supposed, the circumstance of 30,0001. being brought daily into the market has an influence on the value of money, which is easy at 2 per cent. (Abridged from the Manchester Guardian of yesterday.) In our last we gave such particulars as we could then collect of this lamentable occurrence, by which the lives of no fewer than twenty human beings have been lost. It will be recollected that at that time fourteen bodies had been discovered, and six others were then missing. Of these, five were found during Friday night and Satur day, but that of Whitehead was not discovered until Sunday morning, though it subsequently appeared that the labourers employed in the search had repeatedly ap proached within a brick or two of where the body was lying, outside the walls of the mill, and near the chimney at the north-east corner. It is conjectured he had been struck down by the falling building as he was crossing the yard. We are sorry to learn that one of the sur vivors, Hannah Taylor, who sustained a compound fracture in one leg—the limb being broken in three places—besides other severe injuries, is scarcely ex pected to recover. The others, we understand, are all doing well. The local authorities convened a public meeting, which it was intended at first to hold on Satur day evening, but was subsequently fixed for Monday evening, to originate a subscription for the relief of the many industrious families thus suddenly plunged into great poverty and distress by their bereavement of their natural protectors. The surplus of a fund raised for the relief of the sufferers by the fire at the Union Mills some time ago, and which we now learn amounts to about 2001 (and not 400/., as at first stated to us), is likely to be appropriated to this kindred object. The greatest sympathy and commiseration have been manifested by the inhabitants generally towards the unfortunate suf ferers, and the melancholy event has cast a deep gloom over the whole town.

John Ritchie, Esq. F. 11. Thomson, Esq. he Cornwallis, 72, Captain IL Richards, with the flag of Vice-Admiral Sir Charles Adams, has arrived at Portsmouth, from the East Indies. Whea off Tor bay, a bottle, containing a letter addressed to the Ad miralty, was thrown overboard. The bottle eventually drifted on shore, and was picked up in the bay and the letter forwarded to the Admiralty, where it was received the day before the Cornwallis arrived at Spithead. Admiral Parker arrived at the Admiralty on Tuesday evening. The Cornwallis has been in commission between three and four years, and is to be paid off. She remains at Spithead wting for orders. The Fair Rosamond, 9, Lieutenant-Commander Bulman, which recently returned from the West Indies, is to be paid off at Portsmouth. She has gone into harbour for that purpose. The Vesuvius, steam- sloop, Commander Ommaney which arrived from the Mediterranean on Saturday, is to be paid off at Woolwich. She left Portsmouth for the river on Monday. The Vesuvius has been in commission nearly four years. The Locust steamer, recently paid off at Ports mouth, is to be brought forward for commissioning immediately. Her late officers state her to be a most excellent sea boat. The Cleopatra, 26, Captain Wyvill, has captured several slavers off the south-west coast of Africa. She arrived at the Cape from Mozambique the day previous to the Cornwallis leaving it. The other vessels lying at the Cape at the time the Cornwallis touched there,t were the Winchester, 90, Captain Eden, with the flag of Rear-Admiral the Hon. Josce line Percy ; the Isis, 44, Captain Sir John Marshall ; and the Thunderbolt steamer, Commander Broke. The Cornwallis and the Isis left the Cape together on the 31st of August, the former for Ascension and England, and the Isis for Ichaboe. We are happy to state that, previous to the Corn wallis leaving Ascension, the inhabitants of that island had been relieved from their state of suffering from the want of water, as the continued drought had at length given place to heavy falls of rain, which caused a plentiful supply. The Scourge, steam sloop, is to be launched, or rather floated out of the dock in which she has been built at Portsmouth, this day. She will be brought round to the river to be fitted with her engines, which are being made by Messrs. Maudesley, and are to be of 420 horse power. The Firebrand, steam-frigate, Captain Corry, which left Portsmouth with the experimental squadron of brigs, and touched at Plymouth on her passage down Channel, has answered the expectations that were entertained of her. During her passage she proved herself to be a fast and an excellent sea-boat. The Basilisk ketch is ordered home from the Pacific to be paid off, as she has been in commission consider ably above her time. This is the vessel in which Queen Pomare took refuge during the recent occupa tion of Otaheite by the French.

POST.—According to sonic of the reports current, it would seem to be the intention to have the whole French loan of three hundred millions of francs, or say twelve millions sterling, paid up by instalments restricted within the very short period of three months. It is scarcely possible, if that be the case, that a financial operation of such magnitu le should not materially derange the money markets of Paris and London, if not of other conti nental capitals. There can be no question that a con siderable portion or the loan is destined for disposal in this market, and that, indeed, it would not be under taken by any firm which should not be backed with a large subscripion list of English capitalists before pro ceeding to tender for it. The withdrawal of such a sum as twelve millions from active circulation in the two countries, and even in reference to this, might create serious inconveniences. For it may not be lost sight of that the French Government are under no exact pres sure for the money at present, as all the chief appropria tions for the current services of the year were supplied by the Chambers in the last session. The only I plausible reason assigned why the entire remaining part of the loan authorised is now to be called up, should such prove to be definitively the determina tion, is, that it would be most advisable to profit by the actual easy state and abundance of money, and the ab sence of any disturbing political elements. As the loan is realised, the proceeds will be paid, according to cus tom, into the Bank of France, there to lie till drawn against. Some portion may be required for carrying on the extensive fortifications, the construction and im provement of the arsenals, docks, dockyards, and other public works, decreed and now actively in progress on the largest scale, in several of the principal ports of France, such as Havre, Cherbourg, Toulon, &c. But France alone will receive the benefit of the portions so required as put in circulation. As the execution of those works, however, will be thrown over several suc cessive years, the proportion of the loan which shall be returned into circulation cannot be considerable for some time to come, and the mass would be lying dormant in IIbRICE'S PATENT CANDLES are retailed by MOOt of the respectable Dealers throeghout the Kingdom at One Shilling per lb., at which price they are cheaper, taking into ac count the quantity of light given, than the commonest Tallow Dips- They are beautifully white, and burn without snuffing more bril lantly than the finest wax.

This morning, at two o'clock, a most alarming fire burst forth from the first floor of the house, No. 75, _ _ Wells-street, Oxford-street, in the occupation of Mr. Weedon, furniture broker, &c. By the judicious con duct of police-constable C 67, the doors were pre vented from being opened, and th@ flames confined from the action of the current of air, and before the fire had extended to the staircase so as to cut off the usual communication, the family were able to escape over the leads, to the house of Mr. Littlewood, butcher, at the corner of Castle-street, almost in a state of nudity, and in the utmost alarm and fright.

It appears from in quiries made of the fire brigade authorities, that her Ladyship had occasion to go into her bedchamber, a front room on the second-floor, with a lighted candle, and through some unfortunate circumstance fired the drapery attached to the bed. She immediately en• deavoured to tear the curtains down, so as to extin guish the fire, but eve she could accomplish that de sirable object the whole had become ignited. Her Ladyship instantly ran to the head of the stairs and alarmed the domestics, who forthwith attempted to subdue the flaming property, by throwing a quantity of water on it. It had, however, gained too great an ascendancy for, s their feeble efforts, and fortunately for the preservation of the mansion, the brigade and their engines from the King street station, who were called by some of the neighbouring gentry, were prompt in their arrival, and eventually succeeded in pre venting the destructive element extending from the apartment in which it originated. The damage ef fected, both by fire and water, is rather heavy, but Sir Samuel is fully insured in the Imperial Insu rance-office.

The inquest was held on Saturday last, at two o'clock in the afternoon, at the Black Swan Inn, Mumps, before Mr. Molesworth, Deputy Coroner, and a respectable jury. The inquiry was held on the bodies of Jo -eph Tweedale, Robert Tweedale, James Tweedale, Susannah Wright, George Taylor, Mary Ann Hussey, .James Ridgway, Ann Buckley, James Kershaw, Sarah Watmough, William Mannock, John Kershaw, William Butterworth, Edward Winpenny, Ann Ogden, Hannah Slater, Ann Hulme, Elizabeth Smethurst, and Daniel Dunkerley—in all nineteen, William Whitehead not having been found. There was a report in Oldham on Saturday that he had been found alive beneath an arch, and that he had been supplied with a little wine, to re store his exhausted strength, till the excavators could rescue him ; but we ascertained that there was no foun dation for this report. Immediately after being sworn, the jury proceeded in an omnibus to view the several bodies, at the various homes of the deceased ; and next proceeded to the ruins of the fallen mill, and there in spected the construction of the building, with its prin cipal beams and cross-beams, cast-iron pillars, and brick arches, as shown in the part of a bay left standing throughout every floor, as if it were a model transverse section. They also examined several of the beams, and fragments of beams, lying in the yard, especially with reference to the " luggs" or " eats" at the ends of the beam, and the iron straps or " clips," put round them to bind or grace the ends of two beams together around the pillar. On the return of the jury, sifter some conversation, it was agreed to commence with evidence as to the identity of the elder Tweedale's body. A witness named William Mills, living in Pipe-row, North Moor, being confined to his bed by his injuries, his evidence was taken at his own dwelling, in the course of the round taken by the coroner and jury. He stated —I am a bricklayer, and was working at Lower House mill, Messrs. Samuel Radcliffe and Sons. One of the arches in the flooring of the top story had given way about five inches in the crown; and I pulled a third of it out, and put it in again. This was on Tuesday last. I took it out on Tuesday night, and on Wednesday it was got ready for me, and I put one length (of a third part) in on Wednesday night, and wo just then had the middle part out. It was flagged over the top, and the flags of the next bay had given way, and I showed it to the mas ter (Mr. Wrigley), and one of the master's sons. One of the ends of an iron beam had broken—l mean the ear where the clip goes on, and I showed it to Mr. Samuel Radcliffe, and ho said it was a pity they broke that way. One had broken before. The beam had only lost one ear, and had not lost all its bearing on the pillar. I had but just pulled the middle length out when I saw the gable end fall. One of the men working near the end (Thomas Mellor) ran, and before he could reach it, it went down and him with it. It went bay after bay, the roof following the floor, beginning with the gable (west end), and coming towards me, and I saw it going bay after bay, for perhaps a minute, and when it came to me, down I went with it. My head was badly cut, but I was never insensible. My leg is badly bruised and swollen, but not broken. The flags had not broken, but the joints had sundered a little. By a Juror—The joiner only said that the bedding of the flagging had given way. It was about the fourth bay from the gable end where the arch had given way. I think it was the pressure towards the gable, and to resist such a pressure the gable should have had strong buttresses. The gable was the only thing to keep it up. The arch had only an inch rise per foot. Mary Tweedale, of Lower House, widow of Joseph Tweedale, the overlooker, stated, that oae of the bodies lying at her house was that of her husband ; he was forty-four years of age. Another body lying in her house was that of Robert Tweedale, her son, aged seven teen years, a twister-in ; and the third body lying there was that of James Tweedale, a younger son, aged twelve years. He was a reacher-in. The poor woman sobbed, and was quite overcome. After some further evidence, the jury adjourned until Monday. On their re-assembling they were sworn in the case of William Whitehead, the last body missing, which had been found the preceding day. They then west to view that body, and also to inspect the mill again. The fol lowing are the particulars as to William Whiteheal, of Fouleach, engineer, who would have completed his 22d year at Christmas next. He had been in the employ of the firm twelve years. He was unmarried, and lived with his mother, who has six surviving children, of whom four are under twenty years of age ; namely, two girls of eighteen and twelve years, and two boys of six teen and ten years. The deceased's body was found about ten o'clock on Sunday morning outside the build ing, in the yard, near the chimney, under a heap of bricks ; so that lie had evidently been struck down, crushed, and killed, while passing along the yard, endea vouring to escape. On the return of the jury to the Black Swan, Mr. Wiliam Fairbairn, C.E.. and Mr. David Bellhouse, builder, both of Manchester, were requested to be pre sent during the remainder of the inquiry. The Rev. T. S. Mills, magistrate, was also present. The first witness called (the inquiry being so far limited to the death of the elder Tweedale) was— Thomas Mellor, of Hey Side, in Royton, bricklayer, who stated:—On Thursday I was at work on the arch in the cockloft at Lower Route Mill. We had taken one length out, and keyed it, and had taken another length out, and I had taken a springer out (the spring course), and was talking to the man working with me (William Mills), when I saw the beam in the bay snap eat the collar, at the pillar; and I said, " Billy, its aw' going!" and I set off as fast as I could to the door. I saw the arch next Greaves's factory drop in (the second bay from the gable end). It was the centre beam of the three principal beams between the second and third bays that fell; dropping in. The different bays dropped as I quitted them till I reached the last bay but one, next the old factory, when it fell witk me. By Mr. Fairbairn—l can't tell whore the bearers for the scaffolding were. (The foreman said the joiner had explained that point on Saturday.) I was never insen sible. One arm was fast, and with the other I got some stuff from my head, so as to breathe more freely, till I was rescued. By Mr. Fairbairn—When the beam fell I saw the arch of the fifth bay from the old mill (the third from the gable end) give way and drop. The stage we stood on dropped with it. I jumped off the stage, and ran t wards the old mill. The beam did not spring at all, bat it snapped off at the collar, and fell straight doa n. I heard no previous noise. No arch had given way, except that which we were repairing, and which had previously dropped or sunk, just four inches. The arches had a rise of twelve inches. By a juror—The men, it was said, had not put the arches in close enough, and our master (Mr. Wrigley) was blamed for their not being closely keyed. By Mr. Fairbairn—The arch that had sunk or flat tened four inches, was keyed with brick, and " caulked" with slate. Everywhere between the bricks the spaces had been " caulked," or wedged in with pieces of slate. Three of us took out the bricks from that arch, and there were pieces of slate between the bricks. By the Foreman—l cannot tell why the arch had sunk four inches. I think something must have given way, but I cannot say what. None of the tie-rods or stays were broken. After some farther evidence of a similar character, the inquiry was adjourned until this afternoon. d CLERKENWELL IMPROVEMENTS. — Yesterday 30 houses were sold by auction by Mr. Pullen, which are to he taken doWn for the new street which is to be from Farringdon-street to the back of the Sessions-house, Clerkenwell, thus making nearly 150 houses which have been disposed of, the sale taking place by direction of the Clerkenwell Improvement Commissioners. There was a very active competition for the property, which fetched a high price, though many portions of it had been built almost a century. The bricks alone produced between 4501. and 5001. The whole went for above 7001.

Yesterday a meeting was held, at three o'clock, of the Directors and Proprietors of this Corporation, at the offices of the Company, Barge-yard, Bucklers bury. G.ll. Dobson, Esq. (the Chairman of Lloyd's), presided. The CHAIRMAN stated that the object of the meeting was to consider the propriety of holding two meetings during the year instead of only one, as was the prac tice now; and also to receive the report of the Direc tors since the last meeting. The report stated that the Company had sold on credit 14,495 acres of land for 9,9381., and that the affairs of the Company were now assuming a most favourable aspect. In reply to sever al q uestions from Pro p rietors, The Ctraißmari said the Company were most anxious, and had adopted every means, to induce the sale of their Canadian lands in this country, but it was difficult to find purchasers' here, as persona pre ferred taking out their money with them to Canada, and seeing the lots before they purchased them. The Company offered to the purchasers of a certain quan tity of land a free passage, and if they were not satis a.4 with their lots, the purchase-money would be re turned, less the passage money; and one most favour able feature in the proapeets of the Society was, that a number of French Canadians, who were well ac quainted with the capabilities of the country, had located themselves upon the Company's property. Numbers of the settlers were deeply indebted to the Society, but in the unsettled state of things conse quent upon the Canadian rebellion, it would be fooli3h, and worse than useless, to make an appeal to the Law Courts, However , he trusted, through the exertions of SitsCLarlef; Metcalfe, aided by the Legis lative Assembly, the country would resiih;e more than its wonted prosperity. rest f lution that the report be adopted was, after a lengthened discussion, agreed to, and the meeting separated after a vote of thanks'to the Chairman. nuTcn. MAIL. TUB lIAGUS, Nov. I.—The First Chamber of the States-General received the address in answer to the King's speech, which was agreed to yesterday by the Second Chamber. It was referred to the section, which immediately proceeded to examine it. It RI- ;robably be discussed by the Chamber to-morrow. The Central section will meet to-morrow to exa. mine the project of law on the redemption of the Three-and-a-Half per Cent. debt, and that on the payment of the debt due to the Commercial Company. TIIE HAGUE, Nov. 4.—ln the Second Chamber of the States-General, a message was received from the First Chamber announcing that it had not found suffi cient reason to present to the King the adddess in answer to his Majesty's speech, which had been com municated to it by the Second Chamber. The Cham ber received likewise the following extract from the journals of the First Chamber of Saturday, the 2d of November :--" The First Chamber, considering that in this particular case it may be useful that the Second Chamber should be made acquainted with the reason of its declining to agree to the proposed address to the King, has thought proper to authorise its President to acquaint the Presi dent of the Second Chamber, either verbally or in writing, by an extract from the journals, that the first would have entirely agreed to the address, had not a wish been expressed in it for a spedy revisal and improvement of our fundamental law, since, without entering into an inquiry how far such revisal and improvement in general might be desirable, the First Chamber find in Article 227 of the fundamen tal law the positive enactment that the necessity of any change in addition to it must be declared by a ; and this Chamber not having the initiative of such law, and, therefore, must wait for the eventual presentation of them, and not anticipate the further examination by agreeing to the wish expressed in the proposed address of the Second Chamber." After a short conversation the Second Chamber rejected, by a majority of 43 to 3, the proposal mer e ly to receive these documents as a notice ; and, on th e contrary, decided by a majority of 44 to 2, to ha ve them printed and referred to the section.

TWO MEN KILLED. Yest tb noor, a most lamentable accident occurred at the Churchgate Factory, at Stockport, belonging to Messrs. Elkanah and Samuel Howard Cheatham, by the falling of a large chimney attac . :ed to the works there, and which, in its descent, unfor tunately caused the death of two men, and seriously injured two or three others. The chimney stood in the yard behind the Churchgate Factory as seen from the public road. It and the surrounding buildings have probably been built between forty and fifty years. It was originally perhaps about forty yards high, square built, with a base of unusually large dimensions, which rested, we believe, upon arches and pillars of brick-work. Up each cf these pillars ran a flue, and the chimney was divided down the centre by a partitioning of brick-work. We have also been informed, that there were two small rooms at the base of the chimney, one of which was used as a counting-house and the other as a drying-room, but for the accuracy of this we cannot vouch, as in the hurry and confusion which prevailed we were unable to obtain any positive information on this point ; we may state, however, that the fact is almost notorious that there were rooms in the chimney. From what has already been said it will be seen that this chimney was one of very old construction, and from jts great age it had long been in a very dilapidated state. We should state, that on the north, it was bounded by a declivity, leading to the Lower Carrs, and the pro jecting end of a building; on the east by the factory, which joined its base ; on the south by another end of the factory ; and on the west by two small reser voirs, walled round, and divided by a wall in the centre. Close by the base of the chimney was a boiler-house and boiler, at work at the time. We have said that the chimney had for some time l'een in a very dilapidated state, and it would seem that the recent high wind and dampness had rendered its state still more dangerous. On Monday, we be lieve, nearly a cart-load of bricks fell from the top on to the roof of a turning shop and factory below, in consequence of which the hands refused to work, and the engine was stopped. Yesterday mornings it was determined to take it down, and several men were en gaged for this purpose from an early hour. About noon, the time in question, they had probably taken down about five yards of it, and most of the men and factory hands had left for dinner, when the whole mass suddenly fell, in a south-westerly direction, carrving down the boiler-house, and almost entirely filling with bricks, timber, and rubbish, the yard and smal'er reservoir. A sweep named Joseph Smith, aged about forty years, was at the top of the chimney at the time, engaged in the work. Finding it going, he leaped off; but was followed by the mass of brick work, and thrown with tremendous violence into the water, at one corner of the reservoir, a great weight of bricks falling upon him. He was extricated from his situation as soon as possible, but remained insen sible for a long time afterwards; indeed it was under stood that he was very much injured about his head, chest, and shoulders. The other two men, who were killed, were found under the brick-work quite dead. Their names are— Thomas Edwards, engineer of the Carrs, aged about 55. He was much injured about the head and other parts of his body, and has received a most dreadful wound over the right temple. He has left a wife, with whom he was not at the time living. Daniel Edwards (his son), engineer, of Newbridge lane, aged 26. He has left a wife and one child. These two, it is supposed, were standing near the base of the chimney at the time. These bodies, with Smith, were conveyed to the Thatched House Ta vern beer-house, close by, and several medical gen tlemen were quickly on the spot, who rendered every assistance, but to no purpose. Their bodies were afterwards conveyed to.their own homes. Smith, when our account left, was suffering severely, but hopes were entertained of his recovery ; and he would be conveyed to the infirmary. Another sweep, named Charles Baguley, was also a little injured by the fall; he was for some time under the rubbish, but was extricated without sustaining any serious harm. At one time it was rumoured that other persons were under the ruins, but all these cases were dared up with one exception only, in which it was believed that a man named Kelly was missing. As he lived in Bredbury, the fact was not ascertained when our account left. Altogether, it is perhaps fortunate that the chimney fell in the direction it did, as, if it had fallen in any other direction, it must have caused an infinitely greater destruction of both life and property. The inquest on the bodies of the sufferers will be held to day (Wednesday), when, doubtless, a very minute inquiry into all the circumstances of the case will be ID ade. FALL OF A HIGH CHIMNEY AT ARD WICK. The chimney of the chemical works of Messrs. Tennants, Clow, and Co., at Ardwick-bride, having for some time past shown a leaning to one side, it had been determined to take it down, when the late high south-easterly winds came, and during the night of Friday last affected it so much, that on the nien coming to work on Saturday morning about six o'clock, its fall was dreaded every moment. It was found that about three feet only from the ground it was completely cracked across, so that it was in imminent danger of falling with the next gust of wind. No time was last; Mr. Statham, one of the partners, was soon on the spot, and was joined shortly afterwards by Mr. Young, the manager of the works ; and the inmates of a number of cot tages all round the chimney and within its falling range, were promptly awakened, and removed, with their furniture and moveables, to places of safety. The horses were also removed from the adja cent stables, and all the workmen were strictly enjoined not to approach that part of the premises. All these precautionary arrangements having been completed with great care and prompti tude, about nine o'clock the chimney at length fell, with a tremendous crash, breaking through several buildings, all the inmates of which had been removed, and crushing the arches over the river which had been erected for the purposes of the works. On the whole damage was thus sustained to the extent, we are assured, of about 1,000/. ; but for tunately, though one individual had a very narrow escape, no lives were lost ; a result mainly attri butable to the excellent precautions taken by Mr. Stakham and Mr. Young. We understand that this chimney was built about thirteen years ago, when the works were in the occupation of Mr. E. P. Thompson. Its form was polygonal, its height between forty and fifty yards. Had it fallen during the night, the loss of several lives would, in all probability, have been the consequence. The firm of Messrs. Tennants, Clow, and Co., is well known, in connexion with the highest chimney in Great Britain, that at their chemical works at St. Rollo', Glasgow.—llianehester Guardian. EXTENSIVE ROBBERlES.—Yesterday information was received at Bow-street, and forwarded to the metro politan offices, that on the night of the 31st ult., while Mr. T. Burton, jun., farmer, was returning from market, he was robbed of a black leather pocket-book, containing 1751. of the followingbanks :—Knaresborough and Clara, York Union, Wenseudale, and Swaledale, and two 5L Bank of England notes. Amongst the notes of the Clara and Knaresborough Bank are the following numbers :- 19, 23, 106, 107, 205, 206, and 234. A tall man, dressed in a dark coloured coat and light trousers, and a woman, are suspected.—lnformation was also received that on the night of the 20th ultimo, while Mr. Lishman, farmer, of Fernwick Shields, near Stamfordham, in the county of Northumberland, was riding home, he was was stopped by six men, who held his horse, pulled him from its back, and, having brutally ill-used him, robbed him of two pocket-books containing 105/., in 5L notes, being four 5/, notes of the Union Bank of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and the remainder of the Branch Bank of Newcastle-upon-Tyne The thieves also took a stamp receipt for 100/. ; and tw( receipts of the Northumberland and Durham Distric . Bank for 2001. and 5004 This plan of waylaying farmer: ou their return from market with the produce of their sales is rapidly increasing. ANOTHER, ACCIDENT ON THE 13RIGHTON RAIL. WAY.—Another melancholy (and, as our corresponden has heard, fatal) accident occurred on the London an Brighton Railway, near Hayward's- heath tunnel, abou three o'clock on Thursday morning last. A man of th name of John Hobbs, who was stationed as a signs man to a number of men employed in removing a quan tity of earth from the line where a slip has lately take 'lace, was knocked down by an engine working th waggons used in removing the earth, and dreadful! bruised on the head and many parts of the body. H was conveyed to Brighton immediately by the engine and placed in the hospital. Hobbs has stated, it is sal( that he knew the engine was coming, but he thought ne on the rails by the side of which he was walking, an that on looking round and perceiving his dangerous pos tion, he was very much confused with fright. Our col respondent has heard that he is since dead. He is not married inan.—Sassex Advertiser.
