ALEXANDER ifALLACE, on Sunday afternoons, in the Mecha nics' Institute, at Bradford, Yorkshire. We ob serve that it is commended by journals of every description. Our readers may well be lieve that a volume which the Weekly Dispatch, the Christian Times, the (London) Examiner, and the British Banner, the Economist, and Hogg's Instructor, with a multitude of others, join to Praise, must have some unusual merit. And it has this great merit, as the Examiner remarks, that "we cannot imagine anything more free from cant and pretence, or more likely to recommend itself to the practical interests, as well as moral intelli gence, of the working people." And most truly may we add with the Dispatch, " that it is a volume full of genuine and unaffected promptings for the moral and religious welfare of the people, that rarely or ever has an eloquence marked with simplicity, and earnestness, and grace been enlisted in the same cause for such purposes, and th,:t it deserves a world-wide circulation." For ourselves, We were so struck by its almost unique adapt edness to the religious wants of working men at the present time, that we have made care ful inquiry into the facts of the case. They are, as We have said, a lesson for all Sabbatarians. WALLACE was at that time resident at Brad ford. An intelligent town Missionary and Mr. W. having noticed the scepticism very prevalent a mong the operatives, and their aversion to the churches and chapels, instead of getting meetings up to lay an embargo on the railways, or attempting to interfere directly with their Sunday amusements and recreations, betook themselves to the truly Christian method of persuasion. As the opera tives Would not come to the Ministers, the Minis ters vvent to the operatives. And as there was a distaste for the recognised places of wor ship, these excellent men gladly hired the M echanics' Institute as neutral ground, and advertised lectures to be delivered there on a Sunday afternoon. Th - -e were continued from Ja nuary to May, 1851, w ith extraordi nar y an d deserved success. The place was crowded. Mr. WALLACE'S out-spoken, candid style, and manner completely gained the confidence of the working n ien• The attendance of Freethinkers even was ve ry numerous, some walking many miles to be Present. To be brief, the demand was universal for the printing of the lectures; large millowners, _aldermen, mag i s t rates, an d even members of tParliament in the district, contributed generously t sliPply them at a reduced price to the opera- Wes ; and several thousands were rapidly dis rlleed of. M oreover, at the time we are writing, plan is still carried on. A series of Lectures c/I —Atheism are now in process of delivery by the 1, ' e- v• Dr. GODWIN, and the Institute frequently c an not emtain the numbers who attend. Now this, we beg to remind our Sabbatarian I zealot s , is beginning at the right end. It is en : ghtenment versus coercion. Like every right ;Id hon es t move, i t i s cord i ally apprec i ated. The "rn Missionary re f erre d t o , an d hi s fellow-Mis- Sl onaries, have already recognised many gratifying Fe es es of entirely alt ere d h a bit s i n consequence .

'Why could not lectures, appro- Priate t o the day, be delivered at the Crystal P alace by suitable persons ? We can 444 ,1'd1y conceive an employment , more worthy of a re ligious teacher than, selecting for his theme the an tiquities of Egypt or Nineveh, or some of the m arvels of Creation which will be displayed at !Ydenha m , t o illustrate their bearing on the scri ptures, or Religion generally, to the crowds ~."'l° Nvlll throng the People's Palace. Such lectures -, "(3111d, like those at Bradford, be hailed as a Ina r k of friendship and goodwill, and would do good social feeling also, than baa Ling the doors of i t " e rtainment in the face of those who will have t t tr ec raehow. Let the Sabbatarians and their .0 com e d own f rom th e i r pride of place, and conceiteu lof infallibility, and be willing, like ei r t. Master, to teach the people any where and 1 4 , 4 , „ t 4: h e w, and they also will be " heard gladly."

The Australian Coal Company has explained that from conversation had with a member of the firm of Jardine, Mattheson, and Co., it was ex pected they would become the agents for importing Chinese labours into the company's estate, but should any disinclination ex'st, there are other and ample facilities, and it is proved by the example of the Australian Agricultural Company that there is no difficulty in getting the Chinese to emigrate. The funds are very firm, but not much is doing. Consols have been 99 f f for Transfer, and 99ff I for Account. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have realised 1038 and the Three per Cents. at 100,E 2. Bank Stock has been quiet at 227, and India Stock at 269, being about the for mer rates. Exchequer Bills are still fluctuating, those advertised to be paid off, being ss. to 13s. premium. India Bonds are 50s. premium. The committee of Merican bondholders have re ceived adv ices from Mr. Falconnet, dated Mexico, the Bth ult., in which the point of chief interest to the bondholders is this—that the parties now in power at Vera Cruz respect the funds of the foreign debt there. The late President, General Arista, after formally resigning his office into the hands of the Chief Jus tice, as such is provided by the constitution, left the capital early on the morning of the 6th ult. Congress, as also provided by the constitution, had immediately proceeded to the election of a Presi dent ad interi.n, until the votes of the country could be collected, and their choice had fallen upon the Chief Justice (Cevallos), who had entered on the office, but not yet named his Cabinet. Nothing had, subsequent to those events, tram • pired of the intentions of the garrison of the capi tal ; it was thought that it would pronounce in favour of the Guadalajara movement, and was only waiting to learn the effect at Guadalajara of the news of the retirement of Arista. Public order had so far been maintained in the capital ; and the English, French, German, and American residents there had, at the invitation of the Ministers of their respective Governments, and with the sanction of the Mexican authorities, formed armed associations, to act, if need should be, for mutual defence, and the protection of their pro perties and of public order. It was as yet uncertain what answer General Santa Anna would return to the ins station sent him by bis partisans to take the reins of Govern ment. The consideration that he is the only man who can rally a strong party around bim, and form anything approaching to a strong Govern ment, and prevent the Republic :from being dis membered by the dissensions and struggles for, power of the chiefs of the di Terent parties in which the country is now divided is reconciling many who hitherto were his opponents to the prospect of his resumption of power. Foreign Securities have been in good request. Spanish New Deferred are IA to 4. Mexican rionds are' steady at 24. Brazilian New Stock is at 67i. The Swedish Loan is worth 1 to 1 discount. The Gold Mine shares have been very firm, but not much has been done. The Land Companies are good. The Railway shares have been rather flatter. Through the extraordinary exertions of that invaluable institution, the Society for the Suppression of Vice, a truck-load and upwards of the most indecent books, prints, stereotype, steel-plates, and - other disgusting pro ductions, were taken by the officers last night, as also four of the defendants, on whose premises they were found. The arrangements for capture were most excellently carried out by Inspectors Chadwick, Lewis, and Wm. Bridges, of the Land and Thames Police, ably assisted by Sergeant Hoyle, of the F Division, and eight other constables. All four were taken within half-an-hour of each other, and locked up in the Bow-street cells till this morning, when they were removed to the Westminster Sessions House, for the purpose of finding true bills. Among the precious productions were manuscript let ters, from various parts of the country, applying for re mittances of obscene books at heavy prices ; also one previous to sending a young girl to London for seduc tion to a certain house ; and a letter of introduction to a female, residing near Bow-street, for a young female to be taught the art of flagellation, &c. The prisoners, it is expected, will procure bail, and traverse till next sessions for trial. More of the gold fever, thought we on reading the an nouncement of a new play at the Olympic, entitled 2,,,;:fe in Australia, from, our own Correspondent. Not con tent with revolutionising the money market, carrying off all our old friends, deluging the press, and tainting the sources of all social conversation, this auri sacra fames is now invading our theatres, and in a short time the gold-digging, or emigration, school of drama will become as popular as the housebreaking or nautical has been ; pickaxes, dredgers, patent tents, and Colt's revolvers, will succeed in the property-room to the places of the once indispensable crowbars, marlinspikes, dark lair thorns, tarpaulin hats, and darbies. We must confess, however, so far as regards the piece of last night, that our anticipations were to a certain extent disappointed. For all that .6.ustralia or gold-digging had to do with the evolution of the plot, the scene might as well have been laid in Crim :Tartary or the dominions of Prester John, wherever those L.vtay be. The first act takes place in Ireland, where Grenville Barry, in a jealous fury, stabs his brother Redmond, a. 2 he supposed mortally, and flies to Australia to escape justi.ce- The next two acts are taken up in the gradual develop : gent of the fact that Redmond is not dead after all ; and horing followed his brother to Australia, there is no occasion the parties to go back to their native country for the dem.luentent— as in an emigration drama produced a short tine since at another house—but all are made happy on the ,spot. The dialogue with which this somewhat bald story is eked out is nothing remarkable ; and if society at the diggings is as commonplace and vapid as represented to us last night, why, we shall never think of emigrating there on any other than strictly commercial grounds. - Mr. Hoskins was " Our own Correspondent," and made the best of a very up-hill part ; though we must protest; 2 in passing, against Erasmus Shorthand being taken as a Si representative, or even a caricature, of a class of whom the fourth estate is so justly proud. The acting of Miss Anderton and Miss H. Gordon, who played the parts of Minnie and Moya Blake with a pleasing grace and freshness of manner, contributed greatly lo the success of the piece, which we are bound to confess was unequivocal, if we may judge from the applause which attended it throughout, and which was very considerable at the fall of the curtain. The scenery was well painted, and a beautiful view of Melbourne excited great admiration. It reflects great credit on Mr. Shildera, the actor-artist of the establishment. 8 an' r)o., A Defer2ed 8 5 Do., B Guaranteed 20 174 North Staffordshire 22 all "North Western ...... 10 10 N. &S.

It appears that this morn ing, at half-past eight o'clock, Anna Maria Knight, the housemaid, on going into the smoking-room for the pur pose of putting it in ordei, was horror-struck on dis covering the unfortunate man 1 3 :n g on a sofa in a pool of blood, and a desperate gas_., in his throat extending from ear to ear. On the floor clone to the sofa she found a venison carving knife covered with blood, and which no doubt is the instrument that had been used. She instantly raised an alarm, and a policeman, A 204, was called in, who directly sent for assistance and a stretcher. In the, meantime a surgeon was procured, who considered It most prudent to have him removed to Charing-cross 'Hospital, to which institution he was car ried by the af,ove-mentioned constable, A 234, A 58, and A 549. MY:. Adkins was promptly in attendance, who endeavoured by every means surgical skill could adopt to s'.;op the excessive hemorrhage, as life was ebb ing fast, and there is not the slightest probability of his recovery-. Information of the melancholy occurrence was quickly dispatched to Mr. Derrick, the proprietor of the !aotel. It is stated that a deficiency in his pecu niary affairs led to the commission of the rash act. EFFECT OF THE SUDDEN FROST ON THE WATER-PIPES IN THX METnorows.—The frost having set in so sud denly and intense, the greater portion of the inhabitants of the m e t ro p o li s had not taken the usual precaut ion by covering their water-pipes with straw. YesterdAy the lodge rs in numerous streets, were not able to pro. cure a dr o p of water, as even the "mains" were frozen, and it xxas with the greatest difficulty the turneocks i n the , different localities could get them to flow properly It was rather an unusual sight in London, so wel 1 and plentifully supplied with water, to see people going from house to house, with their jugs and pails, beagin s ocr for 0 thin most necessary article. 10 all 6 8 12i all 12. all 12i 8i it. 100 It. 100 5 1 ah 9 I all It. 100 20 8,11 it. 100 .5 9 8 I all .0 I all .0 10 1 ;5 all LO 11 0 6 all 20 all 5 3 kb. 100 I 1 ;5 1051 - 4 p 10 L: 11 131 - 13 , 1 1 9 - 10 11 - - 1 P - - 14 146 - 143 22. - 2' P 5t 6,1 2 - 24 103 - 110 25 - 26 -34 p 11 17i -- 18 t 16 -- 17 Par -- t P 26 —26 i 20 22 d par 1.03 105 I 5} Pa'-' PI 1 —Oad 1 14 131 - 1% 1 1A 2 iP 6 1 6 i 1 p la 2 8 p 14 p 6 i —7 sin 4 —4 sin 11 —1 sin 11 —ll3in Adis — 1 9 —ll p 2 —2l p and Colonisation.

George Knight was brought before Mr. Hardwick, charged with stealing two silver tablespoons, the pro perty of Mr. Feuillade, proprietor of the Collonade Hotel, Charles-Street, Haymarket. It appeared from the evidence of Joseph Pittman, a waiter at the above hotel, that about seven o'clock last night the prisoner came into the coffee-room, and, sitting himself down by one of the tables, began reading a news paper. Shortly after he got up and went to another table, which he had previously laid with elate, &c., for three gentlemen, and called for a basin of gravy soup, which he (the waiter) supplied him. After he had finished the soup, prisoner walked towards the fireplace, and, with a - view to rid the room of witness's presence, ordered a glass of bitter ale. Witness, who suspected the prisoner, did not go to the bar to order it, but stood close by the door, from whence he had a good view of the prisoner, and called for it. Witness all the while kept an eye upon the prisoner, whom he saw go up to a table, and having placed his handkerchief over two silver spoons, picked them up and deliberately put them in his coat pocket. Witness informed his master what he had seen, and then took prisoner the ale, which be drank, and just as he was about leaving, he (witness) detained him, and took the spoons produced from his pocket. Prisoner was then given in charge. Prisoner denied the carge. Inspector Whall proved a previous conviction against the prisoner, who was fully committed for trial. BOW-STREET-(THIS DA P). SUSPECTED THEFT.—Richard Stokes and John, Stokes were placed at the bar before Mr. Jardine, charged with having a valuable green parrot in their possession, sup posed to have been stolen. Police constable 274 A, said he was on duty in White hall about one o'clock this morning when he met the prisoners, and on the defendant, John Stokes, seeing him, he attempted to conceal something under his jacket. Witness stopped him, and asked him what he had got there, when he replied—only a cat. Witness then pulled open his jacket, and found, instead of a cat, the parrot produced, and in answer to inquires as to how it came into his possession, he said he had bought it of a pdson at Pimlico for 305., but did not know where that person resided. As neither of the prisoners could give a better, or more satisfactory answer, he took them to the station. In reply to the charge, the prisoners said theyreceived the parrot from their sister, who lived at 14, Warwick street, Chelsea. Mr. Jardine had no doubt in his own mind that the parrot had been stolen, and, in order to allow time for the officer to make further inquiries, remanded the pH- Boners till Friday next. THE CENTRAL CITY RAILWAY TERMINUS. Last night a meeting of the inhabitants of the ward of Farringdoh Without, over which Sir James Duke, al derman, M.P. presided, was held in the Sessio n s-houso of the Old Bailey, to consider the propriety of presenting a petition to the corporation of the City of London, in favour of the [projected City Railway Terminus in Vic toria-street, Mr. Kirk proposed the following resolution, which was seconded by Mr. Herapath and carried : . "That this meeting expresses its strong conviction of the utility and advantages that will necessarily arise to the city generally, and to this neighbourhood especially, by the introduction of the contemplated City Central Rail way Terminus into Victoria-street, north of Holborn-hill. That the proposed plan, if carried out, will be of the high est and most lasting benefit to the inhabitants in a com mercial, sanitary, and social view, and this meeting ear nestly recommends it to the favourable consideration of the corporation of the city of London." Another resolution, moved by Mr. Rossiter, and se conded by Mr:Burbidge, was to the following effect : " That this meeting observes with surprise and regret the opposition offered by the Improvement Committee in its recent report presented to the Court of Common Coun cil to the bill before Parliament, for the formation of a Trunk Railway and Central City Terminus, and requests the representatives of this Ward in the Court of Common Council to use their best endeavours to prevent further opposition to the measure." Mr. Bethel then moved, and Mr. Lusher seconded the adoption of a memorial to the Court of Common Coun cil on the subject. The resolutions were ordered to be advertised in the daily papers, and the proceedings ter minated by a vote of thanks to the chairman. A f ruoßma theiu s .

"NEW TATTEESALL'S."—The buildings now in course of erection opposite the Elephant and Castle, and which have been magnified in some of the daily papers into a "New Tatterall's" are intended for a horse and carriage repository,—Bc(l's Life, THE COTTON TRADE. - We take the following from the ciren;b7 91 Messrs ' Browne, Hunter, and Co., of Liverpool : Our market opened under a further advance in the rate of discount by the Bank of England, but from the previously comparative low value of money and the beneficial motives which had actuated such a measure to check undue and reckless speculation, also excess in ex port of bullion, which we alluded to in a former circu lar, the market experienced a good trade and export de mand, at prices which continued steadily to harden upon the arrival of each succeeding steamer from the States, with accounts of reduced crop estimates that had been generally informed, and consequently an increase in the value of cotton. The advance thus established here might be quoted at id. to fd. per lb. On the 7th ult., however, the Arabia's news was received, and although it contained nothing of material import to check this heavy receipts into p favourable state of things, the dem an d became less general and active. This depression has sinceeir E ncr u e r a o s p ed a: o owing e la to h h e instant, unfavourable ofcontinued a n d t i n c o e e s d brought the ports, and declining prices. Within the last few days a better feeling has prevailed, and this dulness has partially subsided, though a concession of about id. per lb. from the extreme advance has to be submitted to. We quote Orleans ordinary 51d., m id dling sd. 13-16ths, and fair bid. per lb., which shows an advance on all qualities of 3-16ths to id. per lb. on the month. Great diversity of opinion still exists in regard to the extent of the present crop of cotton, al estimates are so often varied in accordance with the weekly receipts into the ports, that it becomes difficult even to form an ap proximation ; this we do know, however, that the total receipts, including those of next week, will amount to nearly half a million of bales more than at this date last year, and from such an excess it is only fair to calculate upon a crop of at least 3,000,000 bales, if not more, even allowing for the unusually favourable state of navigation at so early a period. The total import of all descrip tions since the Ist January amounts to 275,003 bales, against 258,732 bales at the same period in 1852. Esti mated stock on the 18th instant, 605,060 bales, against 391,260 bales in 1852. BRAZIL.—There has been fair demand during the month, and full prices hare been obtained, but holders supplying the market freely, no material change has occurred—we therefore repeat our quotations. Egyptians, from demand, have also improved in value • our quotations are raised id. per lb. The sales f or the month amount to 14,450 bales, and import 2,265 bales. EAST INDIA.—We have experienced an active de mand, principally for export, and large sales have been made, at prices which show an advance on the month of Id. per lb. Within the last week, however, Surats have participated in the general dullness, but we quote no change in value.

Aul. THE FRENCH EMPIRE. The French papers had not arrived at the time we went to press, but we learn, by telegraph, that there was no public sitting of the Legislative Corps yesterday, but the members met in their bu. reaux to nominate committees, to examine the Pension Bill, the Bill for the Repurchase by the State of the Rhone and Rhine Canal, the Burgundy Canal, and the Qaatre Canaux, the Bill for the Establishment of a Pension Society for old men, and the Bill relative to the Savings' Banks. Letters from St Petersburgh state that Prince Menschikoff has left that capital for Constantino ple, on a mission, of which the object is not known. He is acco m p an i e d by Count Demetri de Nessel rode, son of the Arch-Chancellor. On Sunday night there was a reception at the Tuileries, to which the deputies and the ladies of their fa m ili es were i nvited, for the purpose of being presented to the Empress. M. Bayard, a well-known dramatic author, died suddenly on Sunday. A telegraphic dispatch from Vienna of the 20th announces that the Emperor of Austria was going on well. Little business was done on the Bourse yester day. The Three per Cents. had opened at 81f., but on the report of the entry of the Austrians into Ticino they fell to 80f. 60c., the closing price for the end of the month. The Four -and-a-Half per Cents. closed at 105 f. 90c. ITALY. We have accounts from Milan to the 17th. General Gyulai courteously received the Milanese deputation, but gave it little hope that the Govern ment would relax its system of severity. The Municipal Treasury had paid a forced con tribution of 40,000 florins, and is, in addition, to pay one of 30,000 florins every Wednesday until further orders. Fresh troops arrived every day, and the gates of the town still remained closed. The Parisian Gharivari has been prohibited throughout the whole extent of the Austrian Monarchy. Letters from Switzerland of the 19th inst. an nounce that the Austrian Government had ordered all the natives of Ticino, resident in Lombardy, to quit the kingdom, the workmen in 24 hours, landed proprietors and others within three days. About 5,000 Ticinese would suffer by this measure. On the 16th an omnibus full of Swiss students expelled from Pavia had arrived at Lugano. The frontier of Grisons is re-opened ; the pass of St. Gothard remains closed. The Parlament° of the 18th says that a Mazzini movement was to have been also attempted at Florence. SPAIN. Madrid accounts reach to the 16th, they represent that Lord Howden has received dispatches from the home Government, in which Lord John Russell informs him that her Majesty entirely approves his course which he has adopted towards the Spanish Government on the constitutional question, while, at the same time, the dispatch expresses a pro per incredulity as to the possibility of the latter being bent on removing from any reformed constitution the salutary and important clause which prevents the admission of foreign troops into the kingdom without a special law passed for that purpose by the Cortes. The great difficulty here continues to be the financial one. It is stated that notice has been given to the Treasury by many holders of the pro missory notes and bills on the provinces, that those falling due at the end of this month will not be re newed. It is believed that the large purchases of stock lately made by friends of the Government, chiefly for time, but a small portion for money, by which the rise that has lately taken place in the funds has been produced, have been made with a view of bringing out a loan, in order to deal with the floating debt ; but prices at present are not very favourable for such an operation, which, however, circumstances may render a necessity. The accounts from all the provinces agree in stating that there never had been known so great a fall of snow as this winter. A letter from Vich, Catalonia, says that a coal mine has been discovered, three leagues from that city, and specimens sent to Barcelona ; that it can be worked without difficulty ; and the road from it, which leads to the high road from Vich to Barce lona, be made practicable for large carriage without much expense. The following are the prices of Stocks :—Three per Cents., 41 15-16 to 42 ; ditto Deferred, 25 5-16 ; Redeemable Debt, first class, 10 ; ditto, second class, 51 ; Coupon Certificates, 5. Exchange on London, 5L GERMANY. The recent attempt of the enemies of the public peace, independent of the misfortunes that it has already entailed upon Milan and other places, is likely to lead to serious diplomatic and political complications elsewhere. A telegraphic dispatch from Vienna announces that a note has been ad dressed to the Government of th e S w i ss cantons, on the subject of the abuse of the rights of hospi tality, and that remonstrances against the proceed ings of the refugee committees have been forwarded to London. Direct communications between Lubeck and St. Petersburg (not, as formerly, with Cronstadt) will be opened in the spring by the St. Petersburg.. Lubeck Steam Company. Two new iron vessels, the Neva and Trave, have been built for this pur pose. - A telegraphic dispatch from Vienna, received in Berlin on Sunday, announces that the Emperor had a slight attack of fever during the preceding night, but was doing well in every respect. The blow, aimed with deadly force on the spine, would have been mortal had not a sudden back move ment of the head averted the knife's point ; whilst Count O'Donnel, simultaneously drawing his sword, hacked at and disabled the assassin's arms. A report was current in Berlin on Sunday night that an individual of suspicious appearance was observed strolling for a length of time the evening before last in or near the Charlottenburg gardens. His somewhat wild look having attracted the notice of some persons, he was followed and apprehended. On being searched, he was found to have two pistols in his pocket ; but it has since been affirmed that the pistols found on the individual arrested were not loaded ; that he had neither powder nor ball in his possession at the time ; and that, al though he had no regular papers, there is no proof or evidence of any evil intention. THE WEATHER AND THE PARES.—During the night of Sunday the thermometer at the Royal Humane Society's receiving-house did not fall below 25, being several degrees higher than it had been any night since the frost set in. The cold, notwithstanding, was RDffi eient to freeze the water that had accumulated the preceding day on the surface of the ice, so that yest er . day a great many persons ventured upon the Serpentine. A number of immersions occurred in St. James's-park. tgrheeaitce, number an severalof persons, accidents Who The round pond, Kensington-gardens, and th e l ong. t te e ra-1 y da disported water themselves ,werevisitedbyona occurred, but only of a trifling character.

Eventually, two of the endangered persons were rescued, but the other could not be reco vered until life was extinct. This witness, Webster, the park-keeper, R. Maskell, and Henry Martin, icemen to the Royal Humane Society, confirmed what has pre viously appeared in our journal, that the deceased and the others were frequently warned of the danger they exposed themselves to, and were even ordered off, but without effect. The jury being satisfied that everything had been done to save the deceased, they returned a ver dict of "Accidental death." ANOTHER FATAL ACCIDENT ON TOR ICs.—Yester day information was forwarded to Mr. Wakley, the coroner, of a fatal accident which occurred on the small river the "Brent," which runs through Cricklewood and Willesden, Middlesex. The deceased, who lost his life in attempting to save that of another, was Mr. Thomas, Padley, a master butcher, residing at No. 7, Ch a rlotte-street, Portland -place. On Sunday afternoon the deceased repaired to Cricklewood to enjoy the sport of skating. About 5 o'clock the ice broke, and a man fell into t h e water ; deceased seeing this, seized a plank that lay near him, with which h e h astened towards the spot, thinking to rescue the p erson. As h e was holding it forward for that purpose, the ice beneath him sud denly gave way, when, being precipitated into the water, he immediately disappeared. An alarm b e i ng ra i se d , the man to whose assistance deceased went was got out, but it was not before the ice hod been broken away to a. great extent, and three quarters of an hour had elapsed, that the body of deceased was found, and then some distance from where he fell in. The corpse was re moved to the Welsh Harp Tavern, there to await an inquest. MR.
