Thus, suppose the ordinary premium for an assurance of 5001. to be 10!., the first. payment by the half premium plan will be five guineas, being the one-half of the 101., and interest for the retained half; and if death should occur in the first year, the sum of 5001. would be paid less the 5/. retained. The assured may thus have the use for the first year of 5/. ; fur the second of 101. ;_ and so on till the end of the seventh year, when the retained sums, amounting to 351., may either be repaid, or retained at 51. per cent. interest until death, when the 351. would be subtracted from the 5001. then payable by the Company. To entitle persons to participate in the profits of the assured on the mutual principle applicable to the year from February, 1843, to February, 1844 (which profits are wholly divided amongst that class), Proposals of Assurance must be lodged at the Head-Office, or with any of the Agents of the Company, on or before Tuesday, the 6th of February next. Every information may be obtained by personal or written application to the Agents of the Company, or to the Manager in London. ,FOR STOPPING DECAYED TEETH. 11 111- TII 0 111 A S' S SUCCEDAN EU M, ~trrPrice 4s. dd. - ttlaed I,y her Majesty, his Royal Highness Prince Albert, .• and her Royal Highness the Dess of Kent.

Jullien's Concerts" have caus'd a great stir, And most folks applaud them, without a demur. With success most abundant these Concerts have met, And, doubtless, their loss will be felt with regret ; But stop, gentle reader, We'd have you to know, That we have " Our Concerts"—decidedly so ! " Madam Fame," with the "trumpet" is heard far around ; " Herr Keenig." himself, can't produce such a sound. And then there's " Miss Muse," with her " musical lyre," Whose e'tquisite " melody" all must admire. The " strains" of this lady (if wrong, we beg pardon), , Are more than a rival for all " Covent-garden. ' And, as for the " ring" of the " silver" and " gold," It yields you such " music" as cannot be told. In " discords" the MOSES' are never involv'd— Or, if they have " discords," they're quickly " resolv'd." The wonderful business of MOSES and SON Is " organ"-ized so that it can't be out-done. We act in " sweet concert" in all our vast sales, And the strictest of " harmony" ever prevails. While things are " arrang'd" on a plan such as that, We're sure that our bus'ness will never " 13(e) Flat." May it ever " B(e) Sharp," through the name we have got, And that's but a " Natural" wish—is it not ? But why should we " harp" on this "string" any more? We can only repeat" what we've utter'd before. Let the public, themselves, in the kingdom around, Come and prove that our merits are not a mere " sound." Our trade. they will find, when they visit our place, Is built on a firm and a permanent" bas(s)e." And now for the " key-note"—(and then we are done,) Come and " Treble" your favours with MOSES and SON ! READY MADE. £ s. d.

TH H E R E T • I C. Translated from' the 'Russian of LAJETCHNIKOFF, by THOMAS. -8.--sB.4w, B.A. of Cambridge, Adjunct Professor of English- Literature in the Imperial Lyceum of Tsirskoe Selo. The-first volitine of The Heretic' is as good as one of Scott's •romanees. - It has this draw-back, of course, that . Lajerehn.koff follows Scott : but without a doubt we say of the Russian, that the Great Romancer has had no such following in England. • • • • The translator of the book before us is. well qualified, by his attainments and zeal, to attempt the naturalisation of this literature in England."—Examiner, Jan. 27, 1844. '' " The industry and talent of Mr. Shaw has, in the volume before us, furnished us with a Russian tale of the first merit, rendere;(l directly into English, arid 'preserved, as far as the genius - of 'our language will . permit, with all its original beau ties and characteristics."—Morning Post, Jan. 18, 1844. We are inclined to believe that molt of our readers will agree with us in thinking that if M. Lajetchnikoff has suc ceeded in faithfully illustrating the.vranners of the age of Ivan the Great, he has also shown that he possesses brilliancy of fancy, fervour of thought, and elevation of sentiment, as well as knowledge of the movements of the heart, revealed only , to the few who have been initiated into nature's mys•eries. Blackwood, Feb , 1844. " This is an historical romance. It possesses a freshness and a novelty which canr.ot but commend it to every reader. Its characters are drawn with such simplicity of outline—if we may hazard the expression—that they at once fix the atten tion ..... . • .

FROM' TEC/. EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—The case of the prosecution termi nated on Friday afternoon. As if an incubus had been suddenly removed from the physical and mental faculties of she„Judges—who in this sympa thised with every individual in the Court—they cordially assented to an application *by Mr. Moore, one of the counsel for the defence, and adjourned the Court until the following morning. Dulness—to whose influence the powers of the Judges, the jury, the bar,- a n d th e au di ence , h a d gradually yielded themselves while the voluminous documents were read by the Clerk of the Crown—now ceased to be felt. Mr. Sheil was to open the defence. The opening speech of the Attorney-General, it will be remembered, was to develop° revelations of secret treasons, privy conspiracies, and incipient insurrec tion. It was therefore looked forward to by the public with anxious expectation. To hear this dis closure of plots and treasons was an object not Merely of curiosity, but of patriotic desire to those who believed that any such • conspiracy existed; while others, more prudent, who regarded those re ports as mere moonshine, were induced to seek ad mission to the Court for the purpose of witnessing an explosion of . the statements by which the alarmists had disturbed the public mind in Ireland. But even this combination of motives to gain admission within the Court to hear the Attorney-General was feeble in its operation upon the public mind when compared with the excitement in Dublin on Saturday morning. The Court was crowded to suffocation. Ladies of the highest rank and fashon occupied the places to which the favour of the Judges and the courtesy of the High Sheriff had obtained them an introduction before the openinc , of the Court. The correspondents of the different London journals agree in describing the pressure as extreme; and the interest manifested by persons of all grades was beyond all precedent. If a judgment may be safely formed of its character by the perusal of a newspaper report—which, however excellent, must he imperfect—Mr. Sheil's speech was worthy of the great occasion on which it was delivered. Under ordinary circumstances, however completely an advocate may identify himself with his client, he can feel but comparatively little interest in the cause itself. In the present instance, the advocate, the client, and the cause, were not merely linked together by professional ties, they were united by personal and political sympathies through the long period of the Catholic Emancipation struggle. What ever was essential to elevate the advocate to the height of the great argument he had engaged to discuss, was supplied to, and was felt ,by, Mr. Sheil. The conduct which was charged against his client as a crime, he undertook to vindicate ; and he did so with an eloquence in which the force of demonstration carried conviction to the mind, while the enthusiastic appeals of the orator held captive the generous feelings of the heart, and at length enlisted them on the side of the defen dants. The Government was denounced for con duct which—if the charges alleged in the indict ment were founded in truth—was either criminal neglect or fatuous indifference :—The unbroken peaceableness of the meetings—the reiterated exhor , tationg of Mr. O'Connell to the people to respect the law amid its functionaries—his assurance that if a single - unattended - magistrate appeared at any one of the meetings to disperse the assembly, it would spon taneously iisperse—and the immediate counter mand of the intended ClOntarf meeting so soon as the proclamation for prohibiting its taking place was issued by the Privy Council—these facts and circumstances were urged by Mr. Sheil with zwer ful effect, on the consideration of the jury. the yet unextinguished spirit of religious proscription which pervades Ireland, supplied Mr. Shell with one of those fervid appeals for which he is unequalled in effect, and which on this occasion produced an irre pressible burst of enthusiastic feeling from every part of the Court. To the alleged seditious ten dency of passages set forth in the indict ment from O'Connell's speeches, Mr. Sheil opposed passages equally, if not more, violent from those of the Right lion. Frederick Shaw, one of the Privy Councillors who issued the proclamation against the Clontarf meeting, " and other gentlemen connected with these prosecutions ;" from those of Earl Charleville, and several other Tory Peers and Com moners. The Earl of Charleville, in 1837, at a "great Protestant meeting" held at the Mansion-house, said— " Well, gentlemen, you have a rebellious Parliament; you hal e a Lord-Lieutenant, the slave and minion of a rebellious Parliament." Other personages of the Tory party who distinguished themselves by violent vituperction• against the Queen, her Ministers, and the Parliament, were also referred to by Mr. Shed. From the spoken language, Mr. Sheil proceeded to the newspaper press of the Tory party, and gave some cho!ce specimens of the manner in which those organs of exclusive loyalty expressed themselves when their friends were on the shady side of the Speaker's chair. To the passages charging conspiracy on the leaders of the Association, we can only allude in general terms. Poignant ridicule, and bitter satire, relieved the serious arguments and forcible appeals by which the folly of the charge was made manifest. The ex pulsion from the jury -panel of every Roman Catholic, and other instances of reproach and insult to the great majority of the Irish nation on account of their creed, were touched upon by Mr. Sheil ; but so as to avoid offending the most sensitive of the Pro testant. party ; while his forbearance must have pro duced on the reflective a more powerful and abiding effect than if he had employed the most furious invec tives. ST ANDA RD.—Another act of the Irish State trials (it is hard to determine in numerical order the several stages of this tedious drama) opened on Saturday with the first speech in defence. The speech was delivered by the Right Honourable Richard Sheil, and occupied rather more than five hours in the. delivery. Many considerations render it difficult to speak with freedom of this address, and yet we are unwilling to pass unno tice 1 what appears to us the most able effort of an able man, and of one for whom we have always entertained a high reTect. The speech of Satur day seems to us not only Mr. Shell's best, but much the best speech of the Grattan school of eloquence ever delivered by any disciple of that school, or by its founder. The school is, no doubt, a bad one, but Mr. Sheil's talents, we will say his genius, has raised him above its derects, in the speech which we present this day. To say that the speech does not even slightly touch the merits of his client's case would be, perhaps, to 'say that the case is one which will not bear handling; and to compare it with the calm, sedate, and copious, but concentrated, urgent, and masterly statement of the Attorney-General would be, in truth, to place- in invidious contrast the respec tive cases of the Crown and the traversers. At present, we must not pretend to say which of the two speeches ought to be the more successful, in that which is the proper object of eloquence— the determination of the judgment -of the third party —the jury and the public. Upon the line of argu ment taken by Mr. Sheil, as well as upon some topics " beyond the record," we may, perhaps, remark with out transgressing the limits which forbid the least ap proach to an anticipation of the verdict. A great part of the Right lion. Gentleman's speech is direct( d against the law of conspiracy—such an attack may b judicious in the advocate of persons charged With the offence, as inspiring in the jury a wish to acquit. if possible; but the law is the law, and while it remains the officers of the Government must vin dicate its authority when very signally violated, and sworn jurors must respect it, as they shall answer to the most solemn of all tribunals. The merits of any law are not to be canvassed or decided upon in any Court but . the high Court of Parliament. This is our reason for not following Mr. Sheil upon thls poiiit, but we think that we have some time since satisfied our readers, that without some law restraining political conspiracy, civil govern- . ment cannot Le long maintained in any free country-. Mr. Sheil also attempted to justify the Repeal Ass sociation—its administration, its institutions, its affiliated assemblies, its elaborate and wide-spread organisation, by the analogy of other societies and meetings ; societies, perhaps, as well organised, if not as extensive ; meetings as numerous in some instances as those held in obedience to Mr. O'Connell's fir mans. The analogy is, however, fallacious in this— Mr. Shell was not able to bring the things compared under a common category, which constitutes the whole force of analogical reasoning. And 'even were this possible, acts, all innocent by themselves, may be in morals, as well as in law, rendered criminal by the vinculum of a common bad purpose. When, therefore, we are told of an - organisation un connected with any formidable meetings in one place, and ex tempore meetings, calculated to in spire terror, in another; of violent speeches of isolated individuals here, and of violent writing in independent newspapers there, We may adin•t the - propriety of conniving at them separately without conceding that all of • them united, concerted, and combined, ought to enjoy an impu nity. It is the collected evil that constitutes a public danger and indicateS an evil purpose. Mr. Sheil's ar gument, - in this -re'spec• t, reminds one of the well known lines of Pope— " I cough like Horace, and though lean am short, Ammon's great son one shoulder had too high ; Such Ovid's nose, and, Sir, you have an eye ; Go on, obliging friend, and let me see All that disgraced my betters.meet in me." But, as we - have intimated, it is not merely in being collected, as it were, "sparsim, that the ma terial of Mr. Sheil's analogy is wholly inapplicable Its several parts do not come under the same category • with the Repeal Association. The avowed object of that association is to obtain by some means a change in the laws and constitution of the country, notwithstanding manifest proof that such a change cannot be effected without violence offered to the wishes of the Legisla ture, if not without actual war. The object of the other societies referred to as once tolerated in Ireland, the object of the Orange institution, for example, was not to procure a change in the law and the constitu tion, Ibut to defend both, and to defend them by lawful means. Now this surely makes all the difference in the world between the Repealers and the Orangemen— as much difference as exists between the mob which makes a disturb ance, to aid the unlawful purpose of a street practitioner, and the crowd of honest persons who join in pursuit of the detected delinquent. The .Repealers are against the law—the Orangemen were for the law ; and the law must there fore regard them in very different aspects. There is also, as between these two classes, one very striking illustration of their opposite relations to the law, which Mr. Sheil cannot forget. The Orange men dissolved their society at 'the very first intima tion of a wish on the part of the Legislature. Has the Repeal Association shown equal promptitude of obedienc .!? Parliament has more than once intimated its desire. The Queen's speech and the answering ad dresses of the two Houses are now nearly half a year old; but, if we are not mistaken, the Repeal Asso ciation still holds its sittings. So much for the de fence from analogy. Mr. Shell complains, in a suc cession of brilliant _periods, that the traversers have been entrapped by the Crown prosecutor's delay. But 'this, surely, is unjust. Early in the summer the Duke of Wellington and Sir Robert Peel gave notice of tbeir resolved purpose to put down the repeal agitation. A like declaration was con tained in the Queen's Speech ; but these declarations were so little heeded, that half a dozen monster meet ings were held in the month succeeding the last of them, and it was not until the nuisance actually in vaded the seat of Government—until it was threatened to traverse the streets of the metropolis of Ireland by disciplined and regimented bands of the repeal cavalry--that a Government, reluctant to resort to harsh measures, was compelled to make its stand ; this, if we remember rightly, was about six weeks after the delivery of the Queen's Speech. Thus, the Repealers had warning, repsated warning—and they. had ' time, full time, to profit by that warning—though they declined doing so; and it is hardly worthy of Mr. Sheil, even as an advocate, to speak' of their being in such :circumstances entrapped. • - The ty'phus. fever rages violentlyabout Grindleford Bridge. —Derby Reporter. THE LATE SIR - F. Many ieports are in circulation relative to the imme diate cause of Sir Francis Burdett's death. We have instituted-several inquiries upon the subject, and the folloWing facts - may be relied upon :—lt his been said in many influential quarters,. and by individuals of un doubted veracity, who were about the person of Sir Francis, that the Hon. Baronet Was a victim to what is termed the hydropathic system of treatment. We know for a fact, that on the Bth of October, 1843, Sirs F.. Burdett placed himself under the professional care of an hydropathist who has an establishment in the neighbour hood of London. lie was confidently assured that if. he adopted the "Water cure" he Would have no return of the gout, and, in fact; that all tendency to the disease would be removed. Sir Francis; accordingly, subjected himself to . the. treatment.. Contrary, however, to the predictions of his medical "adviser, early in December following he had a return of his old enemy. At.this period - Lady Burdett became seriously ill, and Sir Francis was.compelled to leave the hydropathic estab lishment. lie, however,fregnentry visited the instit u ti on , and continued to . use the cold water remedies, both at the establishment and at his own house. Lady Bur dett . (who, although strongly recommended, was not permitted to adopt the hydropathic mode of Cure) died oescirrhns of the stomach. She was attended by Dr. .Fereaisson and Sir B. Brodie. Sir Francis (ko great was his faith in the plan he was pursuing) persisted al most to the very last in maintaining that had Lady Bur dett submitted to the cold water treatment her life would have . been prolonged. On the very day upon which Lady Burdett was to have been buried Sir FranCis.was seized with an attack of hmmorthage from the lungs. Up to the Saturday previously to Sir Francis's death the hydropathist %l as in attendance, br.t at that time Miss Burdett Coutts peremptorily refused.. to allow any more hydropathic experiments to be tried upon her father without the full concurrence of his physician. Shortly subsequent to this a physician in the . metropolis, who had frequently been in attendance upon Sir Francis, re ceived a communication from - Miss Burdett toutts, in which she s!,id, that she had no' hesitation in asserting that the cold water treatment haddestr-yed one of the noblest constitutions ever given to man; that it had re duced Sir F. Burdett to a state. of great debility, from which it was impossible for him to recover. She also expressed her determination to. resist the further use of such quackeries, unless sanctioned by the medical gen temen who had been consulted. The proximate cause of Sir F. Burdett's death is said to have been an affec tion of the lungs, and subsequently of the brain, arising, as it is stated, from a translation of the gout from the extremities to the al.ove-named vital organs. For this attack he was attended by Dr. Farr. Sir F.-Burdett was quite delirious for at least 24 hours preceding his dis , solution, and recognised no person near his death-bed. It has been said that so wedded was Sir Francis t i the unfortunate cold water Delusion, that he was in the habit of riding out on horseback enveloped in wet towels. He thought highly of- hydropathy, but he had extended the same confidence previously to St. John Lorg's mode of treatment, as well as to hornceopathy. The death of Lady Burdett no doubt affected Sir Francis mach. In allusion to her demise, he was heard to say a short period before his fatal illness supervened, that he did not wish for death, as he had yet much to do. Owing to the sudden nature of Sir F. Burdett's attack, Lady Burdett's funeral was suspended. The husband and wife are now both to be interred on the same day.— Times. MILDNESS OF THE SEASON.—If any proof was want ing besides bright sunny days and starry nights of the mildness of the season, the appearance of spring vegeta tou would add its testimony. On Sunday last, several full blown violets and cowslips were plucked in an orchard at Galphoy, near Ripon. Not a very usual occurrence is the month of January.—York Courant. ISLINGTON LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC SOCIETY.— The annual meeting of the proprietors was held in the theatre of the institution on Thursday last, Charles Woodward, Esq., F.R.S., in the chair. The annual report announced, as is mg years, an increase of members and attractions ; 630 rens b-rs were enrolled on its books at Christmas, and the library now contains 5,600 volumes. • ROTTING MATCH AGAINST TIME ON BLACK.. - - - HEATH.--On Friday a match was run between the fifth mile stone, opposite the Green Man Hotel, Blackheath, to the seventh mile stone, at the foot of Shooter's-hill. The distance to be run was twenty miles within two hours, by a pony in har ness, drawing an ordinary gig. The pony was 13 hands high. belonging to Mr. Bedwell, a sporting gentleman at Camber well. The match was for 20/. A numerous party assembled at the starting place shortly before three o'clock, and the preli minaries having been arranged, the signal for starting was given at five minutes after three; the pony being driven by Mr. Creasy, coach proprietor, of Peckham, who handled the ribbons with great dexterity. The ground was rather heavy, but the first four miles was performed in 21 minutes. At the eighth mile the pony appeared somewhat distressed, and took about a minute longer to do the distance, and continued, with _ . little variation as to speed, and improved in.dondition to the last, leaving 29 minutes to do the last four miles, which waste compliihed in 244 minutes, winning by four minutes and a half, without the pony being in the least distressed. Betting was even from the commencement of the match until the last four miles, when the pony became the favourite at 5 to 2. FIRE AT BERMONDSEY.—On Friday night, shortly before ten, a fire broke nut in the private dwelling-house in the occupancy of Mr. William Cooke, situate. at No. 17, I'ro spect-place, Bermondsey. The flames, when first perceived, had obtained a strong hold of the first fl9or back, and groat fears were entertained for the safety of the entire building. An immediate alarm was spread, and information of the out.. break was dispatched to the various brigade and parish engine stations. In a very short space of time several engines reached the spot. Ihe inmates and strangers having exerted them selves in the interim, they happily prevented the fire spreading. The damage done, although confined to one apartment, is somewhat considerable. The origin of the fire could not be ascertained. Fortunately Mr. Cooke was insured in the Sun Fire-office. • SINGULAR CASE.—On Friday an inquest was held before Mr. Wakley. on the body of lir. Swiney, of whose mode of living some curious particulars were recently published. Harriet Halliday, housekeeper to the deceased, said he bad been ill for some months precious to his death. Be had for some time past entertained a great disgust of food. Mr. Knaggs, a surgeon, on seeio* him, told him to try to eat something, and recommended him to take a little wine and . water, but he refused to dO to. Witness never knew bins to make any attempt upon his life. There was tie foundation for the report which had appeared in the paer"stating that the deceased had starved himself voluntarily.- He used to endeavour to swallow food, but was unable to do so. Mr. Knaggs stated that deceased bad on one occa-ion • sent to witness for some hydrocyanic acid. Witness sent him two drops diluted with water. Deceased took it in order to-stop a retching to which he was subject. The acid would have that effect. Deceased wanted five drops, but witness would not give it. Erasures Wilson, a lecturer on ana tomy in Middlesex Hospital, had mieee a postmortem examina tion of the body, the heart of which was in a state of inflamma tion, and was so diseased that scarcely a vi stige of its muscular structure remained:' The appearance presented by the heart would fully account for death. Indeed, it eras matter of much surprise to .him that the deceased had lived an hour in such a state. The jury returned a verdict of " Natural Death, pro duced by dropsy and inflammation of the heart." kARIIIQUARE IN PERTHSHIRE.—The following is a more detailed account of the earthquake briefly noticed in our last :—At Comrie, on the 14th inst., at half-past twelve at noor., a smart shock of perpendicular earthquake was 'kb. At five mintres past one a second shock occurred, ebie.b. although rather less, continued longer. There were three slight sounds heard preceding the first-mentioned shock,- two betwixt the shocks and one about a quarter of an hour after the last, and two during the following night. The weather during the preceding seek was variable—frost, snow, and rain al• ternately prevailing. The day on which the shocks occurred was calm and frosty, with sunshine. The sky at the time had a whitish hue. About half an hour after the se. cowl shock a thin stratum of clouds was formed, which vanished about three .o'clock. At the time of the shocks the smoke from chimneys did not wend, but spread along the ground. The momentum of the shocks was nothing to the momentum of the great shocks of 1839 and 1841. Still, they were severer than any shock since that time. The accompanylng sound was very loud on the present occasion. The second shock resembled very much the motion and the noise that is produced in a house when a heavy gig passes swiftly along a new metalled read, only the motion and the sound of the earthquake does not last so long. Monday and Tuesday the shocks were fresh. At Aberfridy on The same day (the 14th inst.), two very smart shocks of earth quake were distinctly felt, as well as in the neighbourhood; the first between 1 and 2 o'clock p.m., and the nexi.abont half-past 2 o'clock p. m. Th e noise produced resembled the hollow sound of a.heavy cart isge ; both shocks lasted several moments.--Edinburgh Witness. MR. DAVID BARCLAY, M.P.—lt is understood in Sunderland that David Barclay, Esq., M.P. for that borough, has expressed his intention of voting in the craning session of Parliament for a total repeal of the present corn-laws. Mr. Barclay, though always favourable to a fixed duty in preference to the sliding scale, has not hitherto been in favour of a total abolition. The accession to the ranks of the repeaters of the corn ditty, of a gentleman of Mr. Barclay's experience, caution, and commercial standing, is of considerable importance, and would indicate that a °binge of sentiment on the question is making considerable progress among humane, independent, and enlightened men of ail parties. Mr. Barclay Is a member of the Council of the Royal Agricultural Society of England, labs politics a moderate Whig, and in mercantile engagements is a member of the eminent firm of Barclay, Brothers, and Co.. Went India merchants.—Neweastie Advertiser. RUSSIAN BARBARlTY.—Everything was after the Russian order. What influence the Russians have ex ercised, especially here, under their General Kisselef, was not lost out of the memory of my former' journey. They had then a sweeping method of going to work with. the rude Wallachians and Gipsies, and could soon settler accounts with them. Twice every week were always ten or twelve Gipsies or Wallachians, useless or criminal fellows, conducted to a public square, from the prison or house of correction ; here they were stripped naked to the middle. Some one was there standing ready, who took the poor prisoners on his back, and held his hands fast over his shoulders, while another seized the feet; a third carried the weapons, an armful of great sticks a. thick as one's thumb ; the fourth stood waiting and ready to strike. A Russian drummer gave the signal on his drum, whtn a hundredstrokes werecountcd on the naked body of the culprit, whiCh cau;ed him to utter the most horrible outcries. A second signal was given by the drummer, and a second hundred was told out to the un- happy wietch. In this manner he received from three to four hundred strokes on the back. After this execu tion, the poor prisoner presented a dreadful spectacle. The flesh hung in rags from his back, and you saw lit tle but the naked hopes. They had then spirits dashed Over them, at which they shrieked again horribly with the agony. Finally they a ere conducted to the stilt. pits, where they were compelled to hard labour frc,m tour to six year. But the majority of them sank under it,—rarely did any one return.— Wirnderings of a Joure neymon 7'ailor. -- SINGULAR ACCIDENT.-011 Tuesday morning lasi a youth in the employ of Mr. Hitchcock, of the North Mills. in this town, was exercising a valuable horse belonging to that gentleman, and on his return home, when near to fin card bridge, the animal became restive, so that the rider lost al command over him, and the result was. the how sprang o'er the parapet of. the bridg e , to the depth of about 12 feet, an 4 aligh.ed with his hind l egs on the edge of the towing-path, arid then fell into the canal.
