It is a fortunate circumstance, tbat while Tractarianism— owing in no slight degree to the equivocal policy of the brace of Bishops of whom we have just been speaking—has spread far and wide among the upper and middle classes, though even among them it has lately, we have every reason to believe, been on the decline—the heresy has not yet tainted the humbler orders of society. We make this assertion on the authority of the Liverpool Courier, which gives proofs in corroboration of its statement that are every way sa tisfactory, and speak volumes in favour of the common sense, the sagacity, the tone of thought, and the sound, unaffected religious spirit of the lower classes. cash, 30-1-; for account, 301; Five per Cents. for account, 21 The Paris Opposition journals are evidently pre- I paring the way fur a determined attack on M. GUIZOT at the opening of the session, and certainly the pre sent state of Spain and the atrocious conduct of Nast- I VAEZ and the Queen-Mother will afford his opponents in both Chambers a fair opportunity. When Es- PARTERO was overturned and the French party was placed in full authority at Madrid the Opposition press remained silent on the subject. A change how ever has occurred ; public feeling in France is roused against the illegal proceedings, the military despotism 'and the numerous executions carried into effect by NARVAEZ without the sanction of a court-martial or any recognised legitimate authority. The Journal des Debuts foresees the coming storm, and is there fore making every effort to remove the odium of such deeds from M. GUIZOT and his colleagues. He de nounced in strong terms the executions at Logrono, and now expresses surprise at the order issued for putting General ARAOZ to death. "We know net," says that journal, " the reasons which have driven the Spanish Ministry to this mad measure of re-action. General Annoz had retired to Chiclana, in Andalusia, where he was born, and it is supposed that he has compromised himself in the conspiracies formed in the south of Spain. He is not a general raised suddenly to that rank, but has gained it by passing regularly through his career. Leaving the military school with ESPARTERO, he dis tinguished himself in the last civil war, at the siege of Bilboa, against the generals of Don CARLOS, and the commandi which were entrusted to him in Anda lusia and Catalonia. He was called the diplomatist of the Ayacucho party, and has been remarked for his reserve in all political affairs. It is therefore with surprise that we see his name mixed up with plots which have been rendered abortive. He served as the connecting link between ESPARTERO and MM. OLOZAGA, CORTINA, and MAnoz, which made him suspected by the ex-REGENT, on the occasion of the events of last year. In his career, he had the strange destiny of having ZURBANO under his orders when he was sent, in 1840, to second the pronun ciarniento of Madrid against the Regency of MARIA CHRISTINA ; and also of having, in the last year, General PRIM under his orders, when the LOPEZ Ministry confided to him the mission of combatting the central junta of Barcelona. M. TIIIBRs, however, will not suffer the GITIZOT Cabinet to throw off so easily the responsibility which they have incurred by the French intrigues in Spain. The Constitutionnel thus directly charges M. GUIZOT as the prime mover in all the changes which have lately taken place : _ We perceive, from our report of a case heard a day or two since at the Union-hall Police-office, that the decisions of the rural justices in quarter sessions, on certain informations under the Game-laws, to which we recently adverted, may be entitled to more respect than we really thought it likely they could ever carry with them. We were wrong in imagining that only in agricultural counties, like Kent and Sussex, Somersetshire and Wiltshire, peril of human life and limb was held to be of minor public import than peril of partridges. We must suppose, at any rate, that the stipendiary magistrates of our police-courts are as cognizant as ourselves of the Midas-law delivered, from time to time, by our agrarian Solons. On that assumption, we imagine, they must have conned over the case we touched upon of an unlucky youngster, who, having shot at a covey of birds " without ruffling a feather," was fined 101. for—it must be con cluded—an assault with intent to—kill. We stated, at the time, that this penalty was a much severer one than the law attached to many grave misdemeanours amounting almost to felony; but, in the metropolitan police-offices, the magistrates appear to be tied down by the letter of an absurdly imperfect statute to re peat these preposterous anomalies in the law of criminal compensations. At Union-hall, a ruffian, described as mate of a merchantman, was brought up, charged with an act of fiendish brutality, under the following circumstances :—He called with a messmate on a poor woman, the wife of an acquaint ance of his, then away at sea ; and after being hospitably entertained, in consideration of his in timacy with her husband, the fellow repaid the kind ness of his hostess by the rudest and most scandalous conduct towards her, in which the scoundrel who was in his company assisted him ; and in the struggle she offered to them the poor woman's right arm was broken. For this assault and injury the sitting magistrate sentenced the Mate (his confederate being on a voyage, or not forthcoming) to a fine of-5/., or two months' imprisonment 1 We have not the Act before us under which Mr. COTTINGUAM pronounced this remarkable sentence ; but we suppose, as matter of course, that it was the maximum penalty inflicted by the statute under such circumstances. Our complaint, therefore, must be, not of Mr. COTTINGIIAM, who must administer the law as he finds it, but of the legislation which has left him such a law to administer. Five pounds for the serious, and alarming, and disabling injury in flicted by two Isrutal cowards on a defenceless woman ! Ten pounds for a random shot—harmless as the waggery of an alderman—at a covey of birds ! What is the principle, the proportion, or the justice of this scheme of punishments ? Perhaps a covey of partridges, in the eye of the framers of the statute under consideration, was regarded as in the nature of a corporation ;—having a right of action for tres pass committed on one of its members as for a tool to the whole body. But this hypothesis will not much aid the defence of such partial law-making. For if it be assumed that for one of the partridges to have been wounded, or in danger of being wounded, was case enough to ground the penalty of 101., what is the equation between the bird and the women ? That the one arm of the latter is legally appraised at half the amereenzent valuation of the two legs of the former ;—that on this principle, 51. penalty is decreed in the one instance, 101. in the other. But really the only Saxon tariff of criminal compensations, which so nicely .ascertained the graduated fines for murders, homicases, ars , and so respectfully ran up the score from the zero point that marked the con sideration to be exacted for the simple indulgenoe of slaying a " Ceorl," or rural serf, to the patrician price at which alone the aristocratic luxury of knock ing a Thane or an Ealder-man on the head could be atoned for, was neither more barbarous, nor more absurd, nor more intolerable, than the "sliding-scale'' of protection which the existing law has applied to preserves of game and the preserving of human life, respectively. See to'what enormous and preposterous consequences these " discriminating" penalties logi cally tend. The defence of the mate to the charge of breaking the poor woman's arm was not a denial of the fact, but, as it were, a plea in abatement—he was, forsooth, intoxicated. Then, intoxication disposes men of the mate's temperament to acts of brutality. Drunken men are, proverbially, fools. Fools, ac cording to LOCKE'S definition, are different from madmen in this that, in place of drawing right conclusions from false premises, they draw false con clusions from right premises. So a madman would have rightly inferred, on the false assumption that the Somersetshire magistrates had laid down bad law, in mulcting a man in 101. who had shot at birds with out hitting them, that he himself had only to kill all birds that might come within his reach, to be safely within the law. But a fool, from the correct pre mises that to wound, or to attempt to wound, par tridge, incurs a penalty of 101., whilst an ah*olute mutilation of a woman will subject him to no more than a 51. fine, falsely concludes that it is at owe 51. better and cheaper to commit the one outrages than the other. If the mate be but a fool, in additi on to being a brute; we are curious to know to what 'future atrocities his inductive reasoning and our admirable statute-law will lead him. " The situation of Count Bresson, our Ambassad,x at Madrid, is become a very difficult one. In conformity with the instructions he had received, he encouraged as much as he could the Government at Madrid to proceed in the road of re-action. M. Guizot, when consulted at Paris by M. Martinez de la Rosa, had recommended that the Spanish Constitution should be reformed in such a way that all important matters should be henceforward submitted to the decision of the Ministers, or at least de cided by simple laws that could be postponed or remade, without appearing to violate the fundamental compact. M. Guizot also advised to get these reforms voted without discussion; he, as an example, cited the Charter of 1830, which was adopted in a few hours, and which has thereby only a greater authority. He forgot that in 1830 France wanted a new Constitution, and that the changes to be introduced in the old charter were long agreed on and accepted by almost the whole of France ; he did not comprehend that Spain, on, the contrary, required not to have her institutions changed, but respected ; did not want new laws to be written on paper, but to habituate herself to a constitutional regime by a lasting and sincere practice. M. Guizot had in all probability completed his advice by the grand word of salutary in ,imidation. M. Bresson, in his conferences with the Ministers of Madrid only developed M. Guizot's recom mendations. M. Martinez de la Rosa failed in carrying the reform without discussion, but he at least obtained the votes ; General Narvaez, who is no great scholar, reserved to himself the means of intimidation. We have seen in what manner he intends spreading it through Spain. The surprise at Madrid, however, was great when the principal Ministerial organ of Paris opposed a great part of the acts which our Ministry had recom mended. The Members of the Cabinet of Madrid re paired to the Ambassador's to express their astonish ment, and to ask where the real Ministerial opinion was to be found. M. Bresson, who was exceedingly irritated against the unfortunate journal, quoted his own instructions. Ilow.lver, it appears certain that, after two Cabinet Councils held at Madrid, on the 24th and 25th of. November, it was determined to demand ex planations from the French Government about the articles recently published by the Debate, and, in par ticular, about that of the 17th of November, where the ne- 3essity of the reform was strongly contested. A verbal was made to this effect to M. Bresson and M. Guizot. The Madrid utioinet represented to the French Government that such publications produced a deplorable etfect on public opinion in Spain, and, besides, contrasted strangely with the language of the Anabas iador. .M. Guizot hastened to disavow the language of the Debats, of which he could not, he asserted, always govern or direct the caprices. Whilst waiting for the reply of our Government, the Spanish Ministry con • tinues to intimidate Spain. General Araoz, an estimable ,nan, who has a number of friends at Paris, is about to be shot at Cadiz without triaL The eldest son and brother-in law of Zurbano, who voluntarily gave them selves into custody, are goin; to undergo the same fate. Exile, prescription, the most violent and the most art i trary punishments, are falling on the suspected, and even reach the Opposition press. Such are the acts by which the Government of IsTarvaez is ushering in the new Constitution. Contempt for all laws, even those of humanity—the most odious despotism arising from civil war, form the regime which a soldier imposes on Spain to prepare her fur a representative Government." The following melancholy intelligence appears in the Phare de Bayonne of the Ist inst. : "It is announced that in consequence of information givan by Zurbano's son, a:great number of persons have bee,a arrested at Burgos, Logrono, Vittoria, and other tow. Os. At Logrono, in particular, these arrests have heed exceedingly numerous, and several officers belong ,ng to the provincial battalion of Valladolid are included in the number. ( eneral Iturbe, who resided at Az pita, has also been arrested, and taken to Vittoria under escort." The Presse states that " the contract for the loan of 200 millions of francs is to be decided on Monday next. Only two tenders have as yet been sent in— that by Messrs. DE ROTHSCHILD and the Receivers- General, and that by the company formed by Messrs. HOTTINGUER and DELESSERT." THE BOURSE—WEDNESDAY, DEC. 4 First Highest Lowest Price. Price. Price .

Accounts from Madrid of the 28th ult. state that the Government had, received official intelligence of the execution at Logrono of the son and brotber-in law of ZURBANO. The news had caused a grezrt sen sation at Madrid. The Heraldo thus endeavours to justify the Ministry :—" Really the measures vs hich Government is obliged to adopt are most deplorable, but they who consider its position, will admit that its conduct is indispensable in presence of the arrogance and threatening attitude of the revolutionists. :Fresh rebellions are daily announced at Madrid, and though they are not realised, it is certain that the rewolu tionists are not tireal of conspiring." These papers announce that a number of officers of high rank had been banished from Madrid. Among these are General FERRER, formerly Inspector-General of cavalry who has been banished to Talaver2, General TENA to Cuenca, General CAMBA (formerly Minister of War) to Navarre, General VAN lIALEN to Valen cia, General CuacoN (formerly Captain-General of Madrid) to Old Castile, General OLLOQUI to Seville, General VALLAPADIERNA to New Castile, General Ismao to Gallicia, and General LEBRUN to Arragon.

CORN-EXCHANGE-FRIDAY. We had a fair average quantity of English Wheat on sale here. As was the case on Monday, the best parcels were in steady request ; but all other kinds were a mere drug. The show of foreign Wheat was not large, yet the inquiry for it was heavy at previous figures. Our supplies of Barley. both English and Foreign, are large, which caused the Barley trade to be excessively heavy, and prices too have a downward tendency. Malt was in slow request, but not cheaper. Oats, Beans, and Peas were steady at full prices. ARRIVALS. • Wheat. I Barley. Out 6,950 qrs. 9,640 qrs. Y. 630 Irish -14,670 qrs.

Yesterday, at the Court of Common Council, in the course of a discussion on the subject of a grant for the erection of a new church in the parish of St: Giles, some remarks were let drop on the subject of the dissensions now prevailing in the metropolitan see, which at the present moment are worthy of no tice. Sir PETER LAURIE introduced the matter by observing that, before the grant for the new church was agreed to, the Court ought to know something as to the spirit in which it was to be governed, adding, in justification of his opinion, that at present the greatest discord and disunion prevailed throughout the diocese of London, and it was exceedingly difficult to find two adjoining parishes in which the same discipline and the same forms were observed, and yet each minister could justify his conduct by the Charges of his Bishop. Every man endowed with the slightest power of re fLction must have forseen that such would be the re sult of the Bishop of LONDON'S famous Charge of 1841, wherein he said nothing positively —came to no decision—but endeavoured to trim between High Church and Low Church—to keep himself in favour with both parties, and yet compromise himself with neither. Doubtless his Lordship imagi ne d th a t b y such a halting, jesuitical course of policy, he would be conciliating the dissentients rather than widen ing the breach between them; bat, instead of this, he has increased the confusion and discord in his dio cese, by enabling both his Tractarian and Anti- Tractarian clergy ..to plead his authority for the enforcement of their own peculiar views, tenets, and observances. The consequence has been—as Mr. Deputy CORNET observed —that Puseyism has greatly increased in the metropolis, and owing to its adoption in the Bethnal-green churches, they are now attended by less than halt' the congregations they are capable of accommodating ! While such has been the effect of the Bishop of LON DON'S Charge, we cannot augur much better things from the Bishop of EXETER'S Pastoral Letter, which in one passage evinces an arbitrary, unyielding nature that is resolved to carry matters with a high hand; and in the next—apprehensive apparently that the bow has been too tightly strung—relaxes somewhat of its starch rigidness, and endeavours to practise the conciliatory system. For instance, on the trouble some 'question of the Rubric, Doctor PIIILLPOTTS ii a strict Martinet. He will allow of no relaxa tion here. Its ordinances must be obeyed to the letter, and woe be to the clergyman who hesi tates to enforce them, for on his head will surely fall the thunders of his incensed diocesan ! One would suppose that this was explicit and positive enough, and that there could be no possibility of misapprehending the Bishop's Rubrical directions; and yet, in the very next passage, the Right Rev. Prelate proceeds to hint at the inexpediency of being too pertinacious in the .enforcement of obsolete, anti quated usages—notwithstanding that many of such Ire7ges are t o b e f oun d recommended i n the Rubric ! are the Bi s h op ' s c l ergy to act, when such are thnconelusive, inconsistent directions of their ec clesiastical superior ? strict i n If, in pur suance o f hi s junction, the follow up rigidly th e ordi nances laid down they tt re e v ltubric, they c anno t do oth erw i se than usages ; and if t h ey revive such usage obsolete are plainly told th a t th ey are acting i a n ge tt % i th n pedient manner!

MARY, ISLINGTON.—Cmuitcu-RATE. —Last night, at six o'clock, a vestry meeting of the in habitants of the parish of St. Mary, Islington, was held in the church, for the purpose of making a rate oa ac count of the chapel of ease, also of making a poor rate, &c., for the estimated expenses of the half year, from Michaelmas, 1844, to Lady-dy, 1845. Mr. Pearson, churchwarden, in the ch a i r . he charge for which a chureh-rate was required was stated to be on account of annuities, 516/. ; of interest, on 1 0 ,000/, 240/. ; of poundage, 258/. ; of rent, salary, and coals, 181. Is. 2d. To meet that expenditure a penny in the pound on a rental of 208.8181., which would produce 870 L Is. 6d., was agreed to. It was expected that there would be some opposition to the vote, but it was unanimously adopted. A rate of tenpence in the pound on account of the poor-rate was also voted, to pay for provision and clothing, 2,400/. ; for county rate, 1,0001. ; fur police rate, 2,793/. 2s. 2d ; for the master of the workhouse, to meet relief to out-door poor, &e., 701. a week, &c., amounting to nearly 10,000/. A highway and lighting rate were also made. Thanks were then passed to the Chairman and the vestry was dissolved. ATTEMPT TO SET FIRE TO THE ETON UNION W.IRRHOUSE.—Five men, named Parker, Taylor, Smith, Harrison, and Smith, who had been admitted into the Eton 'Union Workhouse, as casual paupers for the night, were ("barged yesterday morning before the Reverend Thomas Carter and Cb ristopher Tower, Esq., with having - attempted to set fire to the Eton Union Workhouse, on the evening of F rida y last. It ap peared, from the ev!dence of two ot her p au p ers, who were in the vagrant' ward, with the prisoners, that after they had been Pocked up for the night, Parker ignited a Lucifer match, and sei fire to the straw placed for them to sleep upon, from the fumes of which the whole were nearly suffocated. Upon Hitchcock, the porter of the Union, b‘eie g aroused by their cries for help, he immediately proca eded to the ward, when he found a considerable quantity of the wood flooring con sumed and with some difficul, ty, water being fortunately at hand, the fire was put out. The whole of the priso ners were fully committed to Aylesbury gaol to take their trial for felony at the ensaiii, g assizes for Buck& THIS DAY'S NEWS We have reason to believe, on authority to which we attach every confidence, that the Right Hon. Sir Henry Pottinger, G.C.8., will very soon be called upon toreplace our present Minister at Constantinople, the Right Hon. Sir Stratford Canning, G.C.8., on the retirement of the latter from the high and impor tant embassy he has so long occupied. Her Majesty's Government could not possibly have made a better selection of a representative at the Court of the Sultaun than the distinguished diplomatist whose re markable and most successful services in China, have developed so profound a knowledge of Oriental cha racter, and such admirable qualifications for appre ciating the tendencies of Oriental policy. VILE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY ) (Before Sir J. Wmakm.) His HoNoun, disposed of short causes and petitions, taking the unopposed first, after which he proceeded to the causes on th'e paper. PARKER V. CARTER. The arguments in this case were resumed by Mr. Walker. The suit is instituted to recover possession of the moiety of an estate under a deed made in 1790, which did not appear to bare been acted on by any of the parties until on a discovery of to deed the title under it was insisted on. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY) (Sittings at Nisi Prius before Lord DENMAN and a Middlesex Common Jury.) GREEN V. WATTS. This was an actio❑ brought by Mr. Charles Green, an accountant, to recover an amount alleged to he due to him from Messrs. Watts, the ale merchants, in Lincoln's Inn-fields, fur work and labour done by himself and his clerks, in keeping the books and accounts of the firm of Messrs. Watts. In the defence it was attempted to :et up an agreement to do the work for a specified sum, and the number of hours charged by the plaintiff was dis puted. A discharged cltrk of the plaintiff's was called fur the purpose of proving the :defendant's case. The attempt to set up the agreement failed, but Lord Den man intimated that he thought the charge rather high, and the jury found for the plaintiff, Damages-45/. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Lord Chief Justice TINDAL.) BIAY V. FISHER AND ANOTHER. This was an action on a bill of exchange for 83/. 10s., the interest 131. 7s. making together 961. 17s. It ap peared that the bill was drawn by Harrison and Co., and accepted by one of the defendants, of the name of Harmer, in the name of the firm of Fisher and Harmer, drill and fustian makers, of London and Manchester, in which firm he was a partner. The defendant Harmer allowed judgment to go by default, the other defendant, Fisher, pleaded that he did not accept the bill, but it, was ac cepted by Harmer without his acquiescence, he also pleaded that he had received no consideration. The only witness on the part of the plaintiff was Thomas Tower, who was clerk to Messrs. Harrison and Co. at the time they drew the bill. He proved the drawing of the bill and the handwriting, and he deposed that Messrs. Fisher and Harmer were partners at that time, that Mr. Fisher carried on the business at Manchester and Mr. Harmer in London. He knew both the defen dants, and Mr. Fisher was not present at the drawing of the bill. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE directed the jury to find a verdict for the plaintiff; and said that it was evident that the defendants :were in partnership at the time, and therefore it was sufficient that the defendant Harmer ac c4les..l the bill, and it was not necessary that both should sign it. The jary accordingly found for the plaintiff. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.) (Before the ASSISTANT-JUDGE.) John Steetns, a very respectable-looking man, sur rendered on hiS bail to take his trial upon an indict ment charging him with an assault upon John Bunting, on the 2d of Nov. last. Mr. Ballantine appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Payne for the defence. It appeared by the evidence that the prosecutor lost, some bets upon the result of the last Crzarawitch race, and upon calling on him for payment, the assault com plained of was committed. The jury, after a short consultation, returned a ver dict of Guilty, and the Court sentenced the defendant to pay a fine of 31. to the Queen. George Hinton was indicted for an assault upon John Hinton on the 3d of November. Mr. Haworth appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Ballantine for the defendant. It appeared that the prosecutor is a member of the Hon. Society of the Inner Temple, and also was con nected with the cutlery trade. (The statement of ►his fact cansed co►tsiderable laughter.) The defendant car ried on busines,s as a carpenter and builder in Leicester square, and was also the proprietor of the Leicester Chambers, in Leicester-squar . _ . The Learned COUNSEL stated the facts of the case which were briay as follows :—The prosecutor went to the Leicester Chambers on the day named in the indict ment, and inquired of the housekeeper if a person named Smith lived there, to which she replied in the negative. He immediately told her she was a liar, and used several other most abuSive epithets, upon which the defendant came up to him, and ordered him to quit the premises, and when he refused a scuffle ensued, the result of which was that the prosecutor wan put out Into the street. A number of witnesses having been called on both sides in support of these facts, The jury, without a moment's hesitation, returned a verdict of Acquittal. UNION-HALL.—(THIS DAY.) Alexander Wilton, a notorious burglar, was charged with breaking into the house of Moss Davis, a jeweller, in Alfred-place, Waterloo-road, and stealing a watch. Police sergeant 16 L . stated that, b e t ween t h ree an d four o'clock that morning, while pa ss i ng t h e complain ant'shosuseee his attention was c a ll e d on h ear i ng a no i se at street-door within. lle listened an d h ear d t h e bolts the tr drawn back, and the door was cautiously opened, when the prisoner attempted to rush out into the road. The sergeant, however, prevented this, and the prisoner retreated into the parlour, where, in the dark, they had a severe struggle, during which the prisoner let a watch fall on the floor. By this time another policeman came to the sergeant's assistance, and the. prisoner, upon whom was found a complete set of house iruplements, was th en secure d. I t was sub ascertained the pri s o ner o b ta i ne d access t o th e s b e r ( e l a u k e n i n t g l y h ouse by getting over the wall of Zion Chapel, and from thence into the yard of com pl a i nant ' s h ouse , f rom which he got into the interior, and went directly to the front kitchen, where the complainant's sister was asleep. and, without awakening her, actually took the watch from the bedstead, where it was hanging over her head. He was in the act of letting himself out, as above de scribed, when the discovery took place. The prisoner, w'ho has been repeatedly in custody, . said that the last he got out of " trouble," he tried to earn an honest living, but that, failing in his efforts, he was compelled to have rec ourse t o hi s o ld p r actices. He was committed. LLOYD'S: SHIPPING...-4 THIS DAY LONDON, DEC. 6 . — Wind S.F., moderat) breeze, fine weather, and frosty. DEAL, DEc. s.—Wind E.S.E. to S.S.E., moderate.-- Sid. Carnatic, Bombay.

Rogers and Co., by their solicitor, Mr. llobler, suege , ting a mode of cancelling all the Bank of England notes which have been recently stolen from that firm, and thus rendering the property taken valueless to the robbers and their confederates, some of the partners of the banking-house have had an interview with the Secretary of State upon the plan proposed by Mr. Nob ler, and the matter is now under consideration with Sir James Graham. If so, we are quite sure the public, who have generously sympathised with those gentlemen in their recent loss, will be glad to know that for once the most adroit masters in the art of thieving have met with their match, and there is no doubt the public will con tinue to lend their aid to prevent the robbers deriving any advantage from the possession of the spoil. THE BLACKBURN AND PRESTON RAILWAY.-011 Tuesday afternoon an accident occurred at King's. bank, Hoghton-bottoms, on the new line of railway which is now constructing between Blackburn and Preston, by wnich one man was killed, another so seriously injured that he is not expected to recover, and a third much hurt, though not to a dangerous extent. It appears that the line at King's-bank goes through a pretty deep cut ting at the side of a hill, and the deceased and the two others were engaged in making the cutting, and were at the time of the accident at work between the hill side and a waggon4 They were just about to leave work for the day, when a large portion of the upper part of the hill, it is calculated to the extent of nine or ten . tons, gave way, falling upon and burying the men be neath. Assistance was immediately procured, and an ex press sent off to Blackburn for medical assistance. Mr. Pickop, and Mr. J. Pickop, surgeons, immediately pro ceeded to the spot, by which time the unfortunate men had been extricated from their position. It was found that one of them must have been crushed to death against the waggon instantaneously. The second, upon exami nation, was ascertained to be injured to a very dangerous extent, and his life, we believe, is despaired of. The third, we are happy to state, was much less hurt, and it is hoped will speedily recover from the effects of the accident. Every possible assistance was rendered by the Messrs. Pickop to the survivors. As a proof of the narrow escape the third man must have had, we may mention that a snuff-box, which was in one of his pockets, was completely crushed. The deceased was a fine young man, about eighteen or nineteen years of age. This is the second accident which has happened at this place. A short time ago Mr. Pickop was called upon to attend an excavator, whose leg was broken, and who was very much hurt, by an occurrence, we believe, of a similar nature to the above. FARMING SERTANTS.—A Sussex Correspondent of the Worcester Journal says :—"I am not learned enough to write for a newspaper, or I would send a letter to ex plain the reason why we farmers gave up having lads in the house. Why, "sir, we were summoned for the tax upon men-servants, and I for one. I app ea l e d against it. One of the commissioners asked m e , Did the man ever clean your boots?' Cer tainly he did,' I replied. Then, farmer,' h e said, lam very sorry, but I cannot relieve you; you must pay 245." Twenty-four shillings !' says I. Yes,' cries Mr. Taxgather, 31. 2s. ; you are summoned for two, Farmer Smith, and you can't deny that t'other has not cleaned your boots and your knives too.' I could not say that he did not, and so I had to pay the 31. 25., and never have I dared to have a man in my house si nce . Believe me, Sir, this has done more to injure f ar thi ng men than anything else." SUFNARY OF NEWS AND ?A `" ittlAnton. " Who runs may regd." PONLESION.
