A loud The ti flames Mr. es crackling noise proceeding from that part of the building satisfied the inmates that something wrong had hap pened. Mr. James, therefore, ran to the second floor, vi hen, on opening the door, he found the room enveloped so doing he was most severely burned. The inmates then attempted to extinguish the flames, but finding they i i n n g f hi t h na r e o s u . g h i3 t y he a fl d a e m s p e e s r a a t n e d e r ff e o s r e t e i h n e g b su i s ec e e h e i d i d e r d e u i n , b r u u t s h i n were unable, they closed the dour of the room and sent fur the firemen. The engines from Whitecroas-street, Jeffrey-square, and Watling -street stations, quickly at tended, and after some time the firemen and police suc ceeded in getting the fire out, but Hot before a consider abletor, besides being so quantify of Mr. James's property was destroyed; situate at ic and he was doubly unfortunate, badly burned, he was nut insured for a single penny. ALARMING the I C 't i a t : : — i n Y c c o s n t esredqauye n morning, o o r f n l a . n ' g fi r , e extensive pile of premises belonging to Messrs. minute's before five o'clock, considerable alarm was at a few breaking out caused tb i: ex ~,e. 3, Old Fish-street hill, Upper Thame;- street. The flames, when first dis covered, were issuinj through the roof of the back warehouse, a building ol some magnitude, and formerly James Luray ttiA Co., used as a sugar house. The mains of t he New River having yielded an abundance of water, the engines were set to work, but in spite of the most strenuous exertions of the firemen, they were unable to get the mastery over the alarming element until about one-half of the roof of the warehouse was destroyed, and the third floor of the same building considerably damaged by fire. The valuable contents of the lower floors were also severely injured by the water from the engines. Fortu nately, the property was insured in the Imperial Fire office. The fire was caused from the heat of one of the flues running at the side of the roof. PROPOSED SCHOOL FARM AT PERTH'. Our readers will doubtless recollect that, at the annual meet- ' ing of the friends of the House of Refuge. a remit was made to Mr. Maiben, the secretary to the Refuge, to as certain the practicability of adding to the institution a school farm for boys similar to that of Quatt, alluded to in the report. Since that time Mr. Maiben has received a letter from Mr. Cook, the master cf the Deaf and Dumb Institution, in answer to one from him, giving an account of the experiment he has made in cultivating a piece of ground by means of the labour of the boys under his charge. This experiment, Mr. Cook mentions, has been attended with a very remarkable degree of success. The ground brought under cultivation con sisted principally of a bank so very steep that it was a favourite amusement of the boys to slide down from the top cf it to the bottom, seated upon a piece of board. This barren piece of ground was broken up by means of picks and spades, and the bank was cut into terraces, having walls of turf or stone in front, and these planted with potatoes and other vegetables. One-third of the bank was composed of good ground and the remainder of bad gravel, and the whole extent of the place was only about an acre and a half, and yet within these narrow limits Mr. Cook has managed to raise a suffi cient quantity of vegetables to supply the whole of his pupils, sixty-five in number, besides a large quantity of potatoes, and food sufficient for two cows and nine pigs. The saving thus effected to the institution has been very considerable.—Perth Advertiser. THE DUKE OF PORTLAND'S RENTS.IIIS Grace the Duke of Portland has just announced to the tenants on his immense estates in Nottinghamshire, that from Lady-day last, a moiety of their rents shall be calcu lated according to the averrge price of wheat for the half year preceding the usual time of payment, taking 56 5 , per quarter es the standerd of the present rents. The venerable Duke has for some time been engaged in making himself acquainted with circumstances connected with teach farm ; and whenever any appeared to be higher rented than others, after ascertaining the cause, he has ordered such additional reductions to be made as will put them on a par with their neighbours. To other tenants his Grace has given the option of remaining at their present rentals if low, or having their farms re valued, and the rents adjusted to the present price of corn.—Derby Mercury.

Winter has lately roused himself, As often he arouses, And scattered brick-bats to the winds, Stacks, chimney-pots, and houses. The wind, to quote Tom Dibdin's words, Has proved a blustering railer ; Many on shore have proved it so, And many a hapless sailor. I pitied those with shivering forms, And ruddy cheeks and noses, Who had not raised the wind to buy, An over-coat of Moses. The coats of Moses, well designed, And firmly put together, Are just the very things to suit Such boisterous windy weather. Since, therefore, March is marching on, When winds again will bluster, March for a coat to Moses' Mart, Where thousands daily muster. 'Tis clear we shall have winter yet, And hence would I advise you, Ts try the Winter over-coats, Which Moses' Mart supplies you.

DEATH OF GENERAL CRAWFORD.— We have to announce the death of LieuL-General Robert Crawford, of the late Royal Irish Artillery, and on half-pay 73d Regiment.

The facts of the cat e are interesting, in consequence of the trouble differen t Aldermen have taken, and the many remands becalm e the Solicitor to the Mint would not adopt the views (a; the Alderman. It appeared that th prisoner had left a good situ ation in the country, and came to London, visiting various places of amusement, until one evening he went to a shilling dancing-room at the west-end of the town, where, for a supposed insult to a woman he waa about getting: a beating, when a young man named Lishman intedered on his behalf, and an inti macy sprang up between them. The prisoner being nearly out of money, and believing Lishman to be a respectable person ask.e d him if he could recommend him to a situation. liishman said he could, and told dim to call at his lodgings in St. Martin's-lane, which he did, and was then told by Lishman that he could make a good deal by passing bad money, at the same time giving him some. He was also instructed to say, if the coin Islas discovered to be bad, that he got it in chanot of a sovereign, and to give a wrong address. He practised this until given into custody on the: present charge, with Lish man, who was also in the coffee-room with him at the time, although in the next box. Lishman on a former occasion had thlsown a bad half-crown into the fire, and it was melted. At the first examination the Solicitor to the Mint wi )uld not prosecute Lishman, although a well-known sz aasher in good circumstances, who on coming of age would have property to the amount of 3001. a year, because the piece had been thrown into the fire and I aelted, and therefore it would be doubtful if a convicti*a 'a could be obtained. Lish man was discharged, and the prisoner remanded for inquiries to be made respecting him, as he was not known. Inquiries were. made, which were most sa tisfactory as to the character of the prisoner and all his family, upon which the Alderman suggested the propriety of the Solici";tor of the Mint, giving direc tions for the apprehension of Lishman again, and taking the evidence of the prisoner against him, as in cases of felony against receivers; for he did not like to send Wbite, who evidently was the dupe of Lishman, to Newgate. The Solicitor to the Mint objected to such a courses, and said he was ready to prosecute the prisoner. The case was adjourned several times, but still the solicitor refused to give the psliee directions to apprehend Lishman, and at last the p r i soner (by 11.‘pointment) was placed at the bar at eleven o'clock, but no one from the Mint appeared. Mr. Alderman SALOWONS said that, as it was the desire of the Mint to pro atcute the prisoner, he should send the case to the a, !salons, although it was very painful for him to do so., He could not understand the unwillingness of the,. Mint to get rid of such a character as Lishman, mr'hen the evidence of the boy was sufficiently corroborative for the purpose. The principle of the law as to the greater expedience of getting rid of receivers applied to this case. When the whole matter came :before the judges, with the confession the boy had trade, he bad no doubt some representations upon the ts abject would be made in the proper quarter. At the same time he must observe that the case was appointed for eleven o'clock pre cisely, and he had waitexl three• quarters of an hour without any one attenling, and he considered the Solicitor to the Mint had :treated the bench with great disrespect. The prisoner was conveyed to Newgate. 110 W. STREET. William Castley, a rogister clerk in the General Post-office, was placed at the bar before Mr. Henry, on three separate charg es of stealing money-order letters containing rernitt: inces to the amount of 200/. Mr. Peacock, solicitor to the Post-office, prose cuted, and Mr. Burrell, an attorney, appeared for the prisoner. Ic was briefly stated that there were five clerks (including the prisoner) i o the register department. Ai many as eight money letters hall been recently abstracted after their arrival at the office, and upon a strict investigation respecting them suspicion was directed to the prisoner, under the circumstances detailed in the evidence of Peak, the Post-office con stable. Elizabeth Williams, daughter of the post-mistress at Hobbs' Point, in Pembroke, stated that on the 2J inst. she remitted 301. to Colonel Maberley, the Se• cretary to the General Post-office, on account of money-orders. The enclosure consisted of twenty , sovereigns of the present reign, and two 51. bank notes of the Manchester and Swansea Banks. The address upon the envelop& Was in a printed form, and the words " Money-order remittance" were also in scribed upon it. The bill and letter of advice accom panying it were in her mother's handwriting. It is usual to receive an acknomledgment of the safe ar rival of money letters by the next post ; but in the present instance none was received, William A. Tyrrell, clerk in the Inland-office, opened the Hobbs' Point mail bag on the morning of the 4th instant, and handed the remittance letter, bill, &c., to Mr Fisher, a clerk in the register department. Edward Fisher received the Hobbs' Point remit tance from the last witness, and placed it with other money-order letters upon a tray for the purpose of sorting them. It was his duty to separate the Lon don remittances from those which were to be for warded beyond London, and give the latter to dif ferent, clerks in other departments. This duty occa sioned his frequent absence from the Register-office, often for six or seven minutes together, and during those intervals the prisoner, who was on duty at the same time, had ample opportunity of going to the tray of letters unobserved. After sorting the letters he handed the London remittances to another clerk, to be compared with the bills and forwarded to the Receiver- G eneral. David Davis, another register clerk, received the London letters from the last witness, and was assisted in checking them by the prisoner, who called the names of the towns registered in the bill while wit ness entered them. The prisoner did not call " Hobbs' Point" among the list read on the morning in ques tion, end consequently it was not entered. The prisoner was able to secrete any of the letters if so disposed. Thomas J. Hewett, a clerk in the Receiver-Gene ral's office, opened the bag received from the last witness on the morning of the 4th. There was no remittance from Hobbs' Point, nor any entry re specting one. Mathew Peak, an officer attached to the Post-office, was authorised to search the prisoner, who was sus pected of the robbery. Witness took a small memo randum-book from his hands, and on examining it found an entry in pencil of a number of figures and dates corresponding to the particulars of some missing bank -notes. Witness asked him what was the meaning of the figures, and he replied " that they related to various qualities of wines which he had lately tasted at the docks." Witness took about 2/. from his pockets and asked him what money he had at his lodgings. He stated that he had 91. in his desk, and between 401. and 501. in his cheffonier. Witness se cured the prisoner, and then went to his lodgings at 3, King-square, oswell-road, where he found 91. in his desk as described, and 70/. 105. in gold in the cheffonier. He afterwards returned to the prisoner, and informed him that the figures in his private me morandum-book related to bank-notes, and witness asked him what he had done with them. The pri soner replied, "that it was so, and he had paid them away." He was detained in custody from Saturday last until the following Monday, when Mr. Peacock, the soli citor to the Post-office, read a letter in his presence, showing that the figures and dates of nine 51. bank. notes which had been stolen were accurately entered in his pocket-book. The prisoner declined to give any further explanation, and was then conveyed by witness and another constable (Tyrrell) to the Bow street Police-court, on reaching which he requested "to have a private interview with Peak in the cell." Witness went to him, and the prisoner asked "if he intended to search his lodgings again ?" Witness replied that he and Tyrrell were then going to make a very rigid search after the missing notes. The prisoner then said, " Do not turn the place over too much in consideration of my poor wife, and I will tell you where the notes are secreted. You will find them on the top of the cheffonier outside." Witness proceeded to the lodgings, and found nine 51. bank notes in a book on the cheffonier, answering the de scription of those which had been stolen. The total amount of money found at the prisoner's lodgings was 1251. 9s. The sovereigns, excepting eight, were all of the present reign. By the prisoner's attorney—The prisoner's reason for requesting me not to upset his place too much was that his wife was still in bed, having been confined only a fortnight. By Mr. HENEY.—The prisoner's salary was 901. per annum. One of the clerks stated that about 151. extra might be made in the course of the year by extra work. The prisoner said nothing to the charge. The prisoner was then charged with stealing another money-order remittance of 60/. under precisely similar eircure4ancts. 'Toe remittance was sent to London by Mrs. Gies son, the post-mistress at Lancaster, arid consisted of six 51. notes and 30 sovereigns of t he present reign. [PRICE sp. The notes were among the number found at the prisoner's lodgings. Similar evidence having been given, as to the trans actions of the Register-office, &c., Mr. HENRY committed him for trial. It was uteler,.toed that there will be other charges against him. The prisoner's attorney requested that a gold watch and diamond ring taken from the prisoner might be restored by the officer for the benefit of his wife, who was left with her infant totally destitute. Her father could but ill afford to assist her. Mr. Heear could make no order upon the su'lject, as large sums of money were still missing. LAMB E TH. Mr. Hugh Lavington, agent to an extensive firm of railway carriers, applied to Mr. Norton fur his as sistance under the following circumstances : It appears that previous to the, extension of the South- ts'estern Railway to the Waterloo-road, and while the traffic to the Nine Elms station was con siderable, a shrewd, long-headed fellow discovered that a street called Bond-street, which runs between the South Lambeth and Wandsworth-road, was not included in the Surrey and Sussex trust; and that, therefore, all waggons and other vehicles going to and from town to that railway might do so without the payment of tolls. Availing himself of this import ant fact he made an application to Messrs. Levey, the then lessees of the Vauxhall turnpike gate, for a large sum as the purchase of his silence. An inter view took place between the applicant and the lessees, and the result was that the latter found it necessary to allow the former a handsome weekly allowance for the remainder of their term. The moment the• lease of the lessees bad terminated the secret was disclosed, and so great in consequence was the depreciation in the value of the tolls that no person could be found to take them, and the trustees were com Felled to take these on their own bands. The - carriers and others taking advantage of the discovery, steered their course in going to and from the railway station so as only to cross the turn pike-road at two points, and though they passed through the Vauxhall-gate, they got through exempt from toll. The discovery, as before stated, had been productive of great saving to the carriers and public, and of serious injury to the trustees. It appears, by some manoeuvring, the parish or the parochial high way board, under whose control and management Bond-street has hitherto beer, has consented to its being given up to the trustees of the Surrey and Sussex roads, in order to its being taken into the trust, end a short Act is now, it is said, before Parliament for the purpose. In the interim Bond-street is stopped up, and rendered impassable for vehicles. The applicant, Mr. Laviegton, said that the street was rendered impassable as tar back as Monday week, by poles being placed across it under the pretence of its being repaired, though since that time nothing whatever had been done to it, and the object for stop. ping it could not, therefore, be mistaken. It was evidently to prevent the public from passing through it with their vehicles, and to compel them to pay toll. The object of his (Mr. Lavington's) application was, first, to know if the parties were justified in stopping the road without an order from a magistrate, or keeping it closed up for the space of ten days under the pretence of repairing it, when no repairs were commenced, and none appeared necessary. Mr. NORTON, after consulting the authorities on the subject, informed the applicant that it was not necessary to have a magistrate's order to stop a street for necesary repairs, and said, that as regarded the other peat of the complaint, it was a matter to form the subject of an indictment, and not one in which he (Mr. Norton) as a magistrate, had any power to in. terfere. Mr. I.2vington thanked his Worship for his kind ness and. attention, and said he should not the matter drop. THAMES. John Stockwell, a well-known thief, of about 19 years of age, Solomon Croster, a Jew, described as a general dealer, and James Aforphett, aged 37, who keeps a , 3bandler's-shop in Ann's-place, Wentworth street, IVhitechapel, were brought before Mr. Ingham, the first charged with stealing a great coat, a candle stick, and other property, and the other two with re ceiving the same knowing them to have been stolen. It appeared from the evidence that a communica tion was made to Police-sergeant Kelly, 2 H, an active officer of the detective force, by a respectable man named Hall, that bis son, a buy only 11 years of age, and a girl named Allen, of about the same age, had been met on their way from school by Stock well, and. induced to commit several robberies ; that Stockwell took the property from them, and that some of it had found its way to the Jew, who resides in a low lodging-house in Ann's-place, and that ame bacon and pork, stolen by the children, had been sold by Stockwell to Morphett. Kelly lost no time its making inquiries, and found the informa tion true, and also that Stockwell, who has been con victed of Felony, was in the practice of inducing child ren to plunder shops. Kelly first repaired to Mor pbett's shop, and asked him if he had purchased any bacon and, pork of a Jew ; and he said he had not; he then asked him if he had received any from any other person ; and he declared he had not. Kelly advised him to be cautious, and he then said he bad received some ham. Kelly seized a cushion of bacon, and another piece of bacon which had been stolen. Morphett was taken into custody by Wigley, 141 H, who aftervrards accompanied Sergeant Kelly to a lodging-house next door to Morphett's shop, and in a room there found Croster and Stockwell. There was a large quantity of stolen pork boiling in a pot on the fire, and the children said it was the same they had taken out of a shop. Kelly expressed his surprise to the Jew that be should be boiling pork for his supper, and Croster impudently said, "it was mutton with the thick rind on, and that he was glad to eat any thing he could." Ilenry Hall, a very little fellow, who did not ap pear to be more than eight years of age, said that he had seen Stockwell and Croster in the streets. Stockwell very often said, if he would live with him he would give him plenty to eat and drink. As he was cowing home from school on Wednesday Stock well met him again. A little girl was with him. They walked half a mile, and Stockwell said he could find " gifts " for them. They were passing a bacon shop, and Stockwell pointed to some bacon and pork and said, " There's a gift ; take that;" and he went into the shop and took one piece of pork and gave it to Stockwell, who said to the girl, " There are some gifts for you," and told her to take two lumps of bacon exposed for sale at the shop-door, and she did so, and gave them to Stockwell, who afterwards gave witness is. Stockwell took the pork and bacon to the lodging-house where the officers found him ; they afterwards went out again, and on passing by a clothes shop Stockwell said, " There are some more gifts for you," and pointed to some coats, "take one of them and drop it; it will fetch 3s. or 4!." Witness did not like to do it ; but Stockwell said, "Go on, you fool ; it's no harm." The girl pulled the coat off the nail, and dropped it ' on the ground. Witness picked it up, and, by the desire of Stockwell, dropped it down again ; Stock well picked it up, and put it on his back, and walked away with it. They passed by another shop where there was a large brass candlestick, and Stock well said, "There's a pretty gift ; take it," and he did so. The boy gave his narrative with the most artless sim plicity.. Louisa Allen, a very diminutive child, aged 10, was sworn, and said, " Please, Sir, that gentleman, (pointing to the thief Stockwell) came to my house in North East-passage, Wellclose-square, and took me out and said that there were some gifts for me." The little creature then confirmed the evidence of Hall in every partioular. Abraham Raphael, salesman, of Back-road, Shad well, identified the coat stolen from his shop by the children, and which was found in the lodging-house by Kelly. He missed it on Wednesday night. He also said be had been recently plundered of a large quantity. James Oness, sbopman to Mrs. Sarah Roll, Duke street, St. Georges'F, identified two pieces of bacon weighing 10lb., which were missed from the shop on Wednesday afternoon. The boy Hall was recalled, and said that be saw Stockwell give the bacon to Croster who took it to Morphett's shop. Morphett denied that he purchased the bacon of Croster. It was brought to his shop by a man named Jack Harvey, and he gave him 3s. for it. The father of Hall said his child bad been dragged away and initiated in crime by the villian l S A to li ck en w al l, Stockwell, i and that in consequence of what the p his son toll him he c ommunicated with t h e police. MM r. INGHA said, this was a very evidence was sufficiently strong to justify the com mittal of Stockwell and e et fo r r os trial,Croster, and they b utnot mustb conclusive dis charged. agalnst i‘lo c harged. Mary Harris, alias Roche, and Ellen Sullivan, two notorious and desperate thieves, were brought before Mr. Ingham, on remand, charged with stealing 34 sovereigns from James Clark, a meat salesman. Mr. INGHAM said he should commit both prisoners :o Newgate fir trial.

Shakespere's play of Julius Casar was revived here last night, and was received by a crowded boos with the utmost enthusiasm. Too much praise cannot be accorded to the manager for the spirit and enters prise he evinces in the cause of the legitimate drama; and it is pleasing to find that his success is commen surate with his merit. The play was admirably put upon the stage. Brutus was played by Mr. Vanden. hoff with great ability, as was also the part of Cassius by Mr. Cathcart. The voice of this gentleman, in some passages, was rather unpleasant, from its incli* nation to a nasal twang. Mr. Anderson's Marc Ans tony was worthy of himself. Miss Phillips's T i r e formance of P or ti a was clever and pleasing. part of Lucius, small in itself, was admirably played by Miss Florence Gre this y. Th e personal appearance of young lady is much in her favour, and her acting displayed great care an d attention. The curtain fell amid most rapturous applause. FRENCH PLAYS. ST. JAMES'S THEATRE. There was a morning performance at this theatre yestcrday, commencing at two o'clock. Auber's de lightful opera, Le Domino Noir, with Charton as the heroine, was given on the occasion, and never has the delightful Charton sung or acted better in tier life. She was rapturously applauded throughout, and was called for at the conclusion. During the course of the morning Herold's splendid overture to Zampa was admirably performed by the orchestra, under the an. perintendence of the prince of conductors Mr. Charles tiMun,senna. OLYMPIC THEATRE. The Merchant of Venice was performed here last night for the first time this season, for the purpose of enabling Mr. G. V. Brooke to appear in the character of Shylock, and his Shylock fully confirms the opi nion which we had formed of this gentleman, from witnessing his performance of Othello, viz., that he is the legitimate successor of Edmund Kean. His Shylock is full of power and intensity, and is equally sustained throughout. There is no attempt at saving himself to make points in particu lar passages, but every part is given with a sustained intensity and power which renders the performance as a whole admirable. Mr. Brooke has, we are happy to perceive, completely recovered from his hoErseness, and the rich and mellow tones of his magnificent voice told most eftotively. The tragedy was very strongly cast. Miss Fanny Vining was a graceful Portia, Mrs. Seymour a lively Nerissa, and Miss M. 011iver a lovely and most clever Jessica. Mr. Wigan's Gratiano was the best we have ever seen, and Mr. Compton's Lancelot Gobbo was a per fect piece of Shaksperian acting. The like has not been seen since the days of Liston. The play was admirably put on the stage. The scenery and dresses were magnificent. The house was very well attended. FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT. On Monday evening one of the most frightful ac cidents of the kind which has for some time occurred in this neighbourhood happened at the corner of Erskine-street, Moss- street, to a conveyance which was on its way from Croxteth Hall, the seat of the Earl of Sefton, to this town, and in which were r seated Mr. Charles and Lady Caroline Townley. About half-past eight o'clock in the evening Mr. Charles and Lady C. Townley (who was Lady Pa - , troneas) left Croxteth Hall to attend the annual ball, held on that evening, in the Town-hall, in aid ef the Female Roman Catholic Orphan Asy lum, in one of the Earl of Sefton's carriages. The horses which conveyed the carriage belonged to Mr. Bulmer, of 'Vest Derby. In a short time after the carriage left Croxteth it was discovered that the traces of the harness were somewhat too short, but no inconvenience of consequence was felt until the car riage had arrived about half-way down Brunswick road. Here the postilion repeatedly noticed that there were several twitches of the carriage caused by the traces, and in consequence of which the carriage came in too close contact with the legs and hinder parts of the horses. They then became restive, and, on arriving at the bottom of Brunswick-road, the pos tilion had lost all control over them. At this point they suddenly swerved from the road, and ran with great force on to the footpath, the horse on which the postilion sat striking the iron pallisading in front of a house, and breaking it in several pieces, along with the stone work in which it was fixed, to a length of about a yard and a half. The pallisading fell into the area beneath, and the horse along with it, the latter being suspended for some time by the traces, during which time it plunged tremendously against the wall, and caused great alarm to the inhabitants inside. The postilion was, at the same moment, thrown off the horse against the pallisading, with his back leaning against them, and. for some time it was thought he was im paled. Meanwhile the other horse was plunging on the footpath, in order to get released from the carriage, which still contained Mr. Charles and Lady ToWnley, who were apparently in the most imminent danger. In a very few moments after wards, however, they safely alighted, being, of of course, exceedingly alarmed. The position of the horse in the area, still banging by the traces, and plunging moat desperately, was per fectly frightful. At length, there was a cry of " Cut the traces," and this having been instantly done, the animal fell down to the bottom of the area, fortunately alighting on his legs. The poor thing was bleeding most profusely from the breast, one of the iron pallisades having pierced his breast on both sides. Most providentially the postilion had re ceived no further injuries than being severely stunned. The horse was taken through the kitchen lobbies of the lower part of the house, and after much difficulty in getting him up the steps, ten or twelve in number, he finally regained the street again. A short time after the accident another carriage from Croxteth, containing the Earl of Sefton and another gentleman, drove up to the scene where the accident had hap pened, when Lady Townley and the party proceeded to the ball, at the Town-hall.—Liverpool Courier. THE VICTIM OF THE MANNINGS.—It will be re membered that Patrick O'Connor, at the time of his mur der, was reported to have been worth from 7,0001. to 8,000/. His property of all kinds, it is stated, has scarcely realised as many hundreds; and the explana tion it:, that much of the railway scrip and other docu ments which he was in the habit of exhibiting, and which no doubt inflamed the cupidity of the Mannings, has turned out to be punt ly THE PUBLIC GENERAL STATUTES.—The follow ing are curious statistics of the public general statutes, showing that during the six centuries terminating with ISOO, there was enacted by the English Parliament no fewer than 6,847 Acts or Chapters, and in the forty nine years since 1800, s ,B46—making together 12,693 Acts of Parliament for the " good of the country." Of these 12,693 Acts, 7,610 have totally ceased to operate ; and the residue, viz. 5,083, are still extant, and some of these even are of a doubtful operation. The 5,083 extant statutes contain, Recording. to an average compu tation which has been utwinpted to be formed, about 50,000 clauses ; of which, again, about a third part is inoperative. The aggregate legislation of the first six centuries only exceeds that of the last forty-nine years by 1,001 chapters. But, in reality, the latter period ex ceeds the former very considerably, for some single modern :statutes, and even single clauses, embody the substance of two or more prior Acts. The number of Acts altered in each successive session in modern times has ranged from 20 or 80 to 100 or more. In one me morable session (6 Geo. IV.) there were repealed or ef fected, by express recital, or by implication, more than 1,000 prior laws. HORRIBLE DEATH.—Great consternation was created at the county gaol at Taunton last Thursday evening, owing to a most frightful case of suicide. com mitted by a lad sixteen ytars of age, named William !loungell, who it appears had been committed for two months' imprisonment for absconding from the Chard Union. On the day above mentioned be threw himself headlong under the %% heel of the treadmill, which was then being worked by eighteen men. With the utmost promptitude every means was adopted to check the motion of the wheel, which, however, was unavailing until the lad was mutilated most fearfully, and on being extricated life was quite extinct.
