RICHARD HEATIIFIELD, Superintendent. RE MARK ABLE CASE of RESTORATION. A striking instance of the power of scientific art to remedy the detects of nature has lately occurred in the case of a Mr. F. Balls, a gentleman residing at Northam, in Norfolk, who, in the year 1842, on returning from Barlestone Market to Weybred, where he then re sided, sustained so severe a fall from his horse, as to bring on an ill ness of several months' duration, during whieli period his hair con tinued to come off, till he became, to use his own terms, " as perfectly bald as if his head had been shaved ;" and the Rev. J. E. Daniel, then clergyman of the parish, offered him a wig as a substitute for his lost hair. Under these circumstances, he was induced to try the effect of ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL, and it is highly gratifying to add, with the most happy results. As soon as part of a bottle was used the growth recommenced, and he has new to boast of a very thick and luxuriant head of hair, which presents this peculiarity, that, though prior to losing his hair it evinced no tendency to curl, the new growth is curly and strong. This fact speaks too strongly for itself to require observation.—Bell's Messenger. ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL preserves at d reproduces the Hair ; prevents it from falling off or turning Grey ; Changes Grey c m hA a .Re itk s.o e .vkit L: Governmentb e Awo isa a i r u LDe t ; , 1 : :1 1.110 1 ; y ime seaco "spuriousrf t ui slaidsieet Departments, t uc,t the compounds" curly.

I procured the best advice possible, but withent deriving benefit ; and the doctors recommended me to go to the Stamford Infirmary, where I continued twelve weeks, and left it without obtaining any benefit, and all hope of relief had vanished.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN DRURY - LANE.—Last even ing, between six and seven o'clock, a serious fire broke out in the premises 26, Brownlow-street, Drury-lane, occupied conjointly by Mr. Lovell, a coach carver, a Mr. Bickerton, and a woman named Warren. The fire commenced in a back room on the first floor. The alarm being given, the parties in the first and second stories effected a safe retreat; Mrs. Warren, however, was unable to descend, and finding that all pear ance at the front window, supplicating the crowd to been in that situation many minutes assist her. She had not before the flames entered her room, when she got upon the window sill and was about to precip itate herself to the g r ound. The parties cried out to her not to throw herself out, and they would fetch a ladder. Some few minutes elapsed before one could be procured, during which time the female was seen hanging from t he ledge of the window. Upon only to the second floor. A placing the ladder it would reach and caught Mrs. Warren in drayman courageously mounted, his arms, and carried her down in safety. ln a brief period several engines arrived, and the firemen set to work, but it was half-past eight before the fl a mes could be conquered. By that time, that portion of the house where _ the fire begunrs, together was burned out, and the second and third floors, with the roof, were destroyed, and what remained of the from house was extensively damaged. Mr. Lovell being home at the time, it could not be learned whether he was insured. Mr. Bickerton and Mrs. Warren, who have lost everything, were not insured for a farthing. The Rev. Charles Craven, M.A., has been insti tuted by the Lord Bishop of Norwich to the rectory of Spex hall, in the county of Suffolk, on the presentation of the Lord Chancellor. GRAIN RIOTING IN ROSS-SHIRE. (From the Ross-shire Advertiser.) We regret that the spirit of opposition to the ship ment of grain in this county, lately manifested, has since our last been continued. On Saturday last, some carts containing a quantity of meal, intended for being shipped at Dingwall, to make up a cargo for Lochbroom, were stopped, and the boatman who was to take the meal to the vessel was threatened with violence, if he would not desist. On Monday a vessel arrived in the canal, to take in a cargo of grain, which having become known to some men trenching near, they left work and hied to the vessel, the master of which they threatened, and warned him against taking the grain on board. On that day the magistrates, having reason to fear a breach of the public peace, resolved to swear in special constables, and the inhabitants were summoned eccordiegly; but •few at , tended, and another meeting was called for seven o'clock in the evening for the same purpose. This meeting was attended by a large number of persons, but few con stables were sworn. Prevost Ross and Bailie Rose ex plained to the meeting the necessity of preserving the public peace, and the impropriety of preventing the shipment of grain. Mr. Colin Munro, who was sending the meal to Lochbroom, stated that be wanted no as sistance from constables or others to ship the meal, as he wished to avoid disturbance, and would not ship any if the people were against it. Several persons objected to being made constables for the shipment of grain. though they were desirous, et the same time, Of pre serving 'he peace. They thought the grain should not be shipped while there was a scarcity of meal in the country. While this meeting was being held, a great crowd congregated in the street, opposite the Court house, who occasioned a good deal of noise; and when the meeting dispersed, crowds paraded the town in all directions, cheering and irettingt ' • A snob of women and children was immediately formed. some of whom threw stones, and others proceeded to Mr. Munro's house, and the house of Mr. WDonald, Bridgnad,where some panes of glass were broken. A bon fire was lighted close to the vessel, which had arrived in the morning, and a party was set to watch in case any grain should be shipped. The magistrates went through the town, and did every thing they could to preserve the peace, and the crowd gradually disappeared. The magistrates again met on Tuesday, to swear in constables, but few chose to come forward, and they were consequently unable to perfect their arrangements. About eight o'clock in the evening the streets became crowded, and small bodies of people loitered about, whistling and shouting, while a horn was blown by one evidently employed for the purpose of collecting the mob. Having met at the east end of the High-street., the mob proceeded to Mr. Stewart's granary, on the Greenhill, where there were about sixty quarters of grain, consisting of wheat, oats, and barley, in order to mix the same, that it might not be taken out of the country. Captain Cameron, who resides in the neigh bourhood, addressed the mob on the folly of their con duct, and advised then to disperse. They, however, went on to the grarary, and soon commenced to break open the doors. Au entrance having been effected by pulling the easter dots. of the barn asunder, the crowd rushed in, but as the g' amen , was on an upper flat, entered from the barn, by meats of a ladder, the invaders were for a time prevented from getting at the grain. At this time Bailies Rose and Wlver, and the Procurator- Fiscal arrived, and Mr. Rose at great length addressed the crowd, amounting to several hundreds, cautioning them against acts of violence, and assuring them that meal would be provided. This would have had a good effect, but some rather notorious brawlers here inflamed the rabble, and some female orators having added their mite, by no means inconsiderable, the impression of the Baillie's advice was not long felt. The barn having been taken possession of by the Fiscal and officers, he crowd was cleared out, and the doors nailed up. The magistrates had no sooner gone away, than the crowd renewed their attack on the barn, and forced themselves in in spite of all the exertions of the officers to prevent them. Having got possession of the premises, they proceeded to break open the door of the granary, which was soon effected, and the corn was immediately mixed, and of course a very great deterioration occa sioned. Having accomplished this disgraceful outrage, and maltreated the officers, the crowd went, in a highly excited state and making prodigious noise, to the vessel at the canal, to which we have already alluded, and having awakened the master and crew, some went on board, and the rest towed the vessel to the bottom of the canal, where the tide having left her, the vessel grounded, and so they could not put her io sea. The crowd then paraded the streets towards Stratbpeffer toll-bar, intending, it is said, to destroy Mr. M.Donald', granary at Bridgend, but it being near four o'clock in the morning, and being aware that they well watched they, after quantities of cheering and hooting, retired. We think it right to state that these riotous and out rageous proceedings were perpetrated principally by females and boys, under thesmore cautions leadership of a few whose ana3eSeire- wAskseentettosad veto will moat likely meet the punithment of tlvit,9fraistwv, On Wednesday the magistrates 'ha &nearly Or/results tion, and they again summoned persons to be sworn as constables, and at last succeeded. In the evening nearly 100 took the oath ; the town was divided into three dis tricts, and the constabulary went to their different sta tions, each of the magistrates heading a division. Pre vious to this, Provost RHSS announced, that with the view of satisfying the people, the magistrates had ar ranged, that oatmeal and barleymeal should be provided at the prices of ls. ed. and ls. ed. per peck, till the county store was opened. Upon this a vote of thanks was given by acclamation to the Provost and magistrates, and Mr. Colin Munro having given an order for 20 bolls of oat meal and some barleymeal at prime cost, to the magis trates, thanks were also tendered to him. There was a good deal of noise during the night, but nothing serious. Three persons were apprehended for disorderly conduct, and one of those implicated in breaking op en the barn and granary, was al so apprehended. On Thursday, two of these women were sentenced to short but were rescued o n th e i r way t o the imprisonments, p r ison, by some of the people trenching near it. The others were lodged in prison last night, one for three days, and the other for further examination. The men who rescued the women have been this day apprehended. We are glad to say that last night the town was as quiet as usual; and though the special constables were on duty, there was no occasion for their interference. About three o'clock this afternoon, 100 men of the 27th, under the command of Lieutenant. Colonel Goodman, arrived here from Invergordon. Accommodadon has been provided for them in a large house belong in g to Mr. Colin Stew ar t. Th ey brought 13 prison ers from Invergordon, amo ngs t w h om were eight females. Having said so much as to the violent proceedings here, we have little room to notice what took place at of grain com other places in th e coun ty. Shinpil menced at Invergordon o n T u esday, under military pro tection. On that day the Sheriffs met at Invergordon, with whom were Sir James Mackenzie , Tall°cht Ord, General Munro of Teaninich, Mr. Fowler of Radde . rY, &c. &c., and a large detachment of the n27dtthhehacvairntgs come, a few carts of grain were shipped,s on return were smashed to pieces'. "O e we the dnesday soldiers had to escort the carts from a distance, .and the people having pressed on the soldi ers at Invergordon, four persons were wounded, but not severely, with the existed, bayonet. A great deal of exciteme nt naturally but we are glad to say, that yesterd°Yquiet, was and that a great deal of grain was shipped w ithout the interposition of the military, w hich was also continued to- day. The district from Alms to Fowlis Point has been noisy during the week, and a good deal of violence displayed. The granaries at the Point , Balcony, and Assynt, were broken into and the grain mixed. The quantity so dete riorated cannot be less than 300 quarters at Fowlis, where, we are informed, the corn was also mixed with some refuse of coal and lime. We trust that we now see the end of' these riotous proceedings, which we believe were prompted by the fear of famine and the high prices of food. Supplies were promised, and depots were to be opened, but these steps were staved off from time to time, till the people lost confidence aed brooded over disappointment. How ever, this cannot excuse the breaking into granaries, and mixing of the grain therein, which makes the r cies of Providence nugatory, and so far narro ws them sup ply of food. HAMBURGH MAIL.

" These people are supposed by some to be the ancient Cathie, who , in the time of Alexander's in vasion occupied a portion of the Punjaub, near the confluence of the five rivers. Among the Kathies there are no distinctions of caste. Besides priests, they have an official class of persons called bards, who possess authority almost equal to that of the Druids. They become security for the payment of debts, the conduct of individuals who have misbehaved, and the appearance of persons in pending actions, either civil or criminal. On the same terms they conduct travellers and caravans through districts infested with robbers, or in a state of war. If a troop of predatory horse appear, the bard commands them to retire, and, brandishing his dagger, takes a solemn oath that if they plunder the persons under his protection, he will stab himself to the heart, and bring upon their heads the guilt of shedding his blood. Such is the veneration in which he is held as a person of celestial origin, and such the horror at being the cause of his death, that the thi eat in almost every instance deters them from making the med tated attack, and the party is allowed to pass on unmo lested. The religion of these people consists of little else than adoration of the sun. They invoke this object of their worship before commencing any great under taking, and if a plundering expedition be successful, a portion of the money stolen is consecrated to the service of religion. The only functions of the priests are to celebrate marriages and funeral selemnities. They have but one sacred building—a temple—situated near Thuam, dedicated to the sun , an d con t a i n i ng an i m a ge of that luminary. The size of the Kathies is above the average, often exceeding six feet. The women are tall and often handsome ; generally speaking, modest, and faithful to their lords. The Kathies have no restrictions of any sort regarding food or drink." CONSUMPTION OF COAL IN FRANCE. Some statistics received connected with the consump tion of coal in France and the production of her col lieries will furnish a partial clue to the industrial progress of that country during rather more than the last fifty years. It is stated that coal had been em. ployed d ip France before the fourteenth century, but it was not tit the year 1787 that-,the consumption reached an imptrtant point. In that year the quantity of coal consumed was 4,053,919 metrical quintah, and the consumption went on steadily increasing till in 1815 it amounted to 11,121,942 metrical quintals. Considerable as this increase was in comparison with former periods, a much greater augmentation took ' ill*estin. the course - of the next -ten years, itml,ihen it . that the quantity consumed had gra dually advanced to 19,90,853 metrical quintals. The next important stage that occurred was between that date and 1834, when we find that from 19,943,853 metrical quintails, the quantity had again augmented to 34,144,059 quintals, each year of the intervening period showing a further and progressive increase. /rom that time forward an increase has annually taken place in consumption, and the latest return for 1844 gives the amount for that year at 54,861,501. Of this quantity of coal consumed the pro production of the interior during 1843 was 37,827,395 metrical quintals; and the difference between consump tion and production was made up of importations from the colleries of Belgium, Great Britain, and the Rhenish provinces joining Prussia and Bavaria. During the year 1843 Belgium alone imported into France 11,157,949 metrical quintals, and the importation from Great Britan represented 4,276,936. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. LIVERPOOL, Meacil 9.

FEMALE ORPHAN A SYLUM.—The anniversary festival of this excellent charity was celebrated last evening at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge occupied the chair. About 100 friends and patrons of the society sat down to dinner, among whom were the Lord Mayor, Mr. Kemble, M.P., Sir Claudius Hunter, Alderman Farebrother, &c., &c. After ' dinner a number of the juvenile protfges of the asylum were i ntro d u ced into the gallery, and their voices mingled with the chorus of the rational anthem. The customary loyal toasts having been duly proposed and responded to, the Duke of Cambridge rose to give the toast. of the evening. " Success and prosperity to the Infant Orphan Asylum.' His Royal Highness, in the course of a brief speech, stated that he had accepted the presidency of the society at the special request of its cordial forts, the late Queen Charlotte, and for a period of y-two years had been a constant supporter of the charity, from whose anniversary festivals he had hardly on any singe occasion been absent. The Duke of Cambridge concluded by an earnest appeal to the company present and the public generally to aid in sup porting the instituter. The evening's entertainment passed o f fin the most satisfactory wanner, 1,0151, haying been -subscribed in the reow._, PIaICE SD. IRELAND. DUBLIN, MARCH B. The following rezolutions have emanated from the grand jury of the county of Limerick:— " That England is greatly indebted for her prosperity to the inimate knowledge possessed by her rulers of hei: wants and interests. and to the close connexion whiell..-fibsi. be t w een thy inteTT,ts of th , " , s,?, governing a:Jd (;overn6l, renderhg Thereby 111 1 7 , t', 4 is . legislation events of not frequent occurrence. and aff. , rding, — when they do occur, security approaciiiug :0 cerrainty, that they will be cf short diu if ion. "That, in our opinion, had England been unhappily afflicted with the same calamity with which it has pl,:aseel Providence to visit us, such an Act as the Labour-rate Act would never have been devised tUr the relief of that calamity; and if unfortunately it had been enacted, that as soon as its mischiefs had developed themselves, and were made known to our rulers by the frequent and urgent remon strances of all particekatlscted by its evils, Parliament would have been called together, and some measure more ben. ficial to the poor, and less expensive to the State and to the country would have been immediately enacted in its stead. " That by that Act the In perial Treasury has been dimi nished, and the lands of Ireland heavily encumbered by ex travagant expenditur.: on useless and unproductive works ; self-reliance on the part of the owners and occupiers of the soil has in most districts been rendered impossible ; our pea santry have been demoralised; our entire social system has been disorganized ; our fields have been left uncultivated ; our prospects for the ensuing year have been darkened ; la bour has been diverted from the producticn of food ; and the transition to a better system rendered doubtful and dan gerous : that its enactments, by adopting in the first in stance too large an area for taxation, and then refusing to allot to productive labour on each property its proportion of the taxation of each barony in which it was situate, operated as a bounty to the proprietor who neglected his duty, at the cost of the one who performed it. "That we do not attribute these failures in legislation to a want of the best intentions in the Government, but to a want of knowledge on the part of the most influential of our rulers of the peculiarities of our social condition, and to the too limited proportion of responsibility and confidence placed in those who, by their residence in Ireland and amongst us, are conversant with our position. " That we express our fixed conviction that the deep rooted social evils of this country can never be removed in their causes until such changes are made as will place a greater control, as well over the making the laws by which we are to be governed, as over the administration of those laws when made, in the hands of those who are conversant with the social, moral, and political circumstances of this country. "That, hiving expressed these opinions, we feel it the more incumbent upon us to express our deep and heartfelt gratitude for the truly Christian exertions and sacrifices made by the people of England for the relief of the famish ing poor of this country. "2. That the present rate of expenditure for the relief of the poor in this country far exceeds 20s. in the pound of its entire value. " That, unless a large amount of labour be given by pri vate enterpri-e, we see no reason to hope that this expendi ture will be reduced within any reasonable limits. " That, if it continue, each levy for the poor will reduce a large number of the ratepayers to pauperism; gradually the land—the proceeds of which will be absorbed by taxation— will go out of cultivation, and while property will be confis cated, it will soon be found impossible to collect a suffi cient amount on rates to preserve the destitute from starva tion. " That private employment will not be given in any amount sufficient to avert those calamities, unless the area of taxation be made smaller than the present electoral divi sions' which were laid out by per-ons evidently, by tit , it acts, hostile to the principle of electoral division rating. "For, if large electoral divisions be preserved, individual ratepayers will feel that they can but little diminish their rates by giving increased employment, and an inducement will be held out to them to employ as few labourers as pos sible, and to get for the poor in their own neighbourhood as large a proportion of the public funds as they can; while in small electoral divisions, the exertions of every proprietor will sensibly diminish the amount of his taxation, and when the only choice left to him is, whether he shall pay for the support of the poor in his neighbourhood, or employ them productively, he will, of course, do the latter. "That the employment of additional labour would be greatly encouraged by giving tenants compensation for per manent improvements on fair and equitable terms. " That, in order to prevent the possibility of the rate of any electoral division being so high as to inflict an unjust and dispiriting burden upon towns and villages, a limit should be fixed, beyond which no division should be taxed for its own poor, and the surplus rate required for such dis trict should be paid by a national rate, to be levied from all descriptions of property, as well personal as real. "3. That the affliction with which it has pleased the Almighty to visit us, if not an imperial must at least be con sidered a national calamity, and therefore the burden of it should be borne by all interests in the nation, whether they be moneyed, mercantile, or agricultural, and that all folded property, productive capital, and income arising from land, should bear a just proportion of theAsurden. " That the placing of this burden exclusively upon one class, that class being itself the greatest sufferer by the calamity, would be an act of manifest injustice and oppres sion. " Adopted unanimously. " WILLIAM MONSELL, Foreman." NAVIGATION-LAWS. , _ theeomniittee on these laws liii-assem - bled yesterday in Room No. 2. There were present—Mr. M. Gibson (chair man), Mr. Ricardo, Mr. Liddell, Mr. Mitchell, Mr. L ) all, Sir Robert Peel, r. Hume, Sir G. Clerk, Admiral Dundas, Mr. Alderman Thompson, Sir Boward Douglas, Mr. C. P. Villiers, Mr. Thomas Baring, and Mr. Macarthy. On the commencement of the business the room was cleared for some time, and on the readmission of the reporters, Mr. flume was urging on the committee the necessity of confining the examination of the witnesses to mere facts, and not asking for opinions. Mr. APGregor was then called, and examined by the Chairman—ln 1815 there were higher tonnage duties on British ships in the United States than on American ships, and in England the duties on American ships were higher than on British ships. The reciprocity treaty put an end to the differences of the duty, but did not affect the navigation laws of either country, it merely placed equal charges ou the ships and the cargoes of both countries. According to the English navigation laws an American ship must be built, owned, manned, and commanded in a particular way to en title it to thaprivileges of the reciprocity treaty. The 16th clause of Victoria 8 and 9 provided that no American . ship should be deemed national unless built in America, owned, manned, and commanded by Americans. Unless this clause were complied with, the ships would not be considered Ame rican; they might, however, claim to be admitted under the treaty. The British navigation laws prevented foreign coun tries from competing with the United States in bringing American produce to England. If the English navigation laws, by providing that English ships should be manned and owned by English sailors, give an encouragement to British shipping, they also give encouragement to American ship ping, by providing that the American ships should be manned and owned by Americans. By Mr. Liddell—Our intercourse with the United States was based upon the strict footing of reciprocity by treaties, and it was necessary to define by such clauses and regu lations what should constitute reciprocity between the two countries. There was an article in the Treaty of Ilol land which defined what a national ship way. Questions certainly did arise with regard to the nationality of South American republic ships, after the declaration of indepen dence on the part of the Spanish American provinces. By Mr. Ricardo—The object of the navigation laws with America was to obtain, in conjunction with America, a monopoly of the trade between the two countries; it ex cluded all other vessels from the carrying trade between the two countries except for the purpose of warehousing. By Mr. Villiers—The object of the navigation-laws was in part defeated by the Warehousing Bill. Articles warehoused were not for home consumption. By Mr. Ricardo—The bulk of the articles warehoused was imported in British ships. Mr. M'Gregor, in continuation—Very great difficulties had been represented and reported to the Congress of the United States by the Committees of Commerce and Navigation, as existing in the colonial intercourse, that the ships of the United States were not on the same footing in the British colonies as British ships arriving from the colonies in any United States port. Complaints had also been made by English merchants from the Canadas and at different periods from the other colonies. They complained of the restrictions that were put upon the intercourse between the colonies and the United States. The great whale fisheries in the South Seas had certainly fallen almost entirely into American hands ; but he believed that the majority of the vessels em ployed in the South Sea whale fishery were employed at a loss, especially in the sperm fishery. The black-finned whale fishing was profitable. The Americans had above 700 vessels employed in the whale fishery. He did not think that the decline of the British fishery was owing to the removal of the protection ; certainly that would have been the case if the Americans retained all the oil for home consumption, but they looked more to its exportation than to home consump tion for a return. By the Chairman—The object of the 16th clause of the Navigation Act was the encouragement of British trade and navigation. It might appear at the time to have been the policy of England that every foreign country should have a mercantile marine of its own, but its policy was quite dif ferent. He was not prepared to say that the effect of the 16th clause would be the encouragement of foreign mercantile ma rines. There was not the least difference in the principle, why it should not encourage other ships in the same manner as our own. With respect to the tariff of 1842, be could say, having had much correspondence on the subject, that a simi lar reduction of duties had been immediately made in the United States' tariff, and that in every case where relaxa tions had been made in England, a corresponding reduction had taken place in the United States. Reduction had re cently been made in many articles on which a very high duty was levied, mainly for the purpose of revenue, which he was certain had been done in consequence of the measures past last session. The cause of the decline of the British , whale fishery he attributed to the much more formidable competition with the chemical discoveries, and with vegetable oils now in use. By Mr. Hume—Lord Cathcart, in a dispatch to Mr. Glad stone, dated 12th May, 1846, said that the prosperity of the British colonies on the St. Lawrence depended mainly on an alteration of the regulations of the inland trade. Mr. M'Gregor, at Mr. Hume's desire, quoted several para graphs from a metnorinl presented by the Montreal Free Trade Association against the navigation laws (the memo rial being a paper printed by order of the House of Com mons). Mr. M'Gregor was proceeding with the memorial, when Mr. Liddell objected to the evidence. The committee-room was cleared, and on our re-admission Mr. Hume said that he should not continue the exami na ti on on the memorial. -- By Mr. Ricardo —Complaints of the stringency of the navigation laws had been made from Russia, Prussia, Den mark, the lianse Towns, till 1842, and by the United States, though not to this country, but in the report of the com mittees of Congress. The :United States complained, in the first instance, that a British ship could go from any British port to any port in the United States, discharge part of its cargo there, and with the remainder, after filling up the room, continue her voyage from the United States to any British possession. They also complained of our steam ships going direct to Halifax, and from there to any port in the United States. Russia °complained that w - Plimited her trade to the direct trade between Russia and this country. Prussia's complaint was similar to that of Russia; but Prussia also complained of the privilege granted t 9 the e%K , el ' ' . . c,,c''',l"-.e--,,,,...,....z, United States of carrying British praduce to iudhs. Dam mark complained recently of our not extending to the ships of Denmark the same privileges as to these of the Zollverein- They demanded of us the privilege of coming from certain ports in Europe, between the Meuse and the Elbe, upon the same lboting as if they came direct from Denmark.. The IL rise Towns complaints had been settled by extend-y., ing to thew the smile privileges as to th e Z o ll vere i n. The; United States complained that they might not touch" at ldalitax and then proceed to this country. In fact, it the loss of the indirect trade that all these countries com plained ot. 1;y i‘:r. Liddell—Was aware that British traders and oier.iodlis had made complaints against Russia on certain points. They complained of the port charges, cf the duties levied on British ships. New Russian ships were exempted from all day until they were three years old. Did not know that there was any hindrance to a British merchant, able to find the requisite security, taking the Prussian coo.- tract for salt. The salt was generally carried in Prussian ships. It m ight, lie believed, be carried in a British ship. lie was not orefiared to say that the reason why it was not 'd in British ships was that .the Prussian ships could :.1.1 the British ships in thefreig,ht. The great griev ance of the Ur.ited States was not being permitted to trade het ~ een this country aid the colonies. The colonial trade rearmed by us as a coasting trade. The privilege by liogland to the United States to trade between England and British India was rendered nugatory almost by the direct,,rs of the East India Company, who, in con fertility with the powers entrusted to t hein, had imposed an additional duty of 100 per cent. on goods brought in American ships. By Mr. Mitchell— [he Effect of the repeal of the navigation laws, so far as intercourse between Great Britain and foreign countries was concerned, would be, lie believed. that instead of a Dutch ship coming from the coast of Holland with the produce of Holland, or with such articles as were allowed to be imported from any port of Europe into the United King dom, she might come from any port iu France, or Germany, or Belgium, or the other world, without any declaration being required as to the origin of the cargo. Ships were con structed cheaper in Norway and Sweden than in England. United States ships cost evidently more than British ships,. and so did Russian. The Norwegian and Swedish vessels were also sailed cheaper than our own ; if,however, Norwegian ships were constructed for hot climates in the same solid manner as our own, they would be dearer.—Adjourned to Thursday next. entrie uncle DIABOLICAL ATTEMPT at RAPE. During the night between Saturday and, - Snnay last an occurrence of the most atrocious character took place close to the Bath Hotel, Lockwood, and which, but for timely assistance, might have ended in murder. Between the hours of 12 and 1 o'clock on the above night Mr. John Ellam, landlord of the Bath Hotel, and his son, John Oxley Ellam, were in their stables attending to a horse which had been brought in late that night, when they were alarmed by loud shrieks of " Murder," and cries for help, proceeding from the turnpike-road nearly in front of the hotel. They instantly ran round to the front, and, when within a few yards of the spot from which the sounds proceeded, they saw three ruffians forcibly holding a female up against the wall surround ing the quoit ground, and a fourth standing at a short distance, apparently keeping a look-out or watch; there were also two " navvies' standing by, but they did not appear to touch the woman. The night being fine, and the moot, shining brightly, Mr. Ellam and his son had a distinct view of the villains, and saw one of them (who was also lloCing the woman) kick her a most tremendous blow ee the abdonten, matting use at the same time of the most vioLut threats against her for not suffering him to effect his abominable purpose. One of the ruffians also held her by the throat, and the imprints of his finger mils wt re clearly visible for hours afterwards. On perceiving succour at hand, the ruffians let go their hold of tneir victim and fled, taking the road to Hud dersfield. The poor woman then sank down from sheer exhaustion and fright, and was taken into the hotel more dead than alive ; in fact, for some time after her life was despaired of. More assistance arriving, the villains were pursued, and young Ellam, outstripping the rest by at least fifty yards, came up I,ith the hindermost near Spring-gardens, with whom he fearlessly grappled and secured till the rest of the pursuers came up, when he was given into the custody of Horsfall, the constable. In the scuffle young Ellatu was severely bit by the mis creant he had captured, but still kept hold of him with the utmost tenacity. The fellow was conveyed to the lock-up, and proved to be one James Wood, a noto riously bad character. Horsfall, with ',the assistance of the watchmen, succeeded in capturing the other two fellows before tour o'clock the same morning, and whose names are James Parkinson and Booth Sugden, alias " Raggy," both equally notorious bad characters, the latter in particular, who has bee❑ several times in prison at Wakefield, and all three were the most callous-looking ruffians we ever beheld. The woman having been carried into the hotel, had every attention paid to her by li.r, and Mrs. Ellam. Mr. Dow, surgeon, was sent for, who, on examining the patient, found she had received a tremendous blow on the face, closing up and blacking an eye—her neck and breasts severely bruised and scratched by the fingers and nails of the desperadoes—her sides much bruised and lacerated, and she was otherwise most dreadfully injured. On Monday morning the prisoners were placed at the bar before Messrs. W. W. Bettye and J. Sutcliffe, on the charge of violently assaulting with intent, &c. The poor woman was too much injured and too ill to walk, aid was, therefore, brought in a cab to the office to give her evidence. She stated her name to be Eliza Mathews, the wife of a miner, and that she came to Huddersfield on the previous Wednesday with her husband, who was in search of work at the Lock wood tunnel. On Saturday afternoon he went to Lock wood, but not returning at night, she set out to look for him, and ii , ter searching most of the public-houses in the town, she went. on to Lockwood,-about twelve : - o'clock, and was foilowed by the prisoners, who ill-used ber as before stated. The prisoners were committed ttirtirk Castle tor trial at the assizes, bail being refused. Their Worships were now somewhat at a loss how to dispose of the woman; from this dilemma they were, however, relieved by Mr. Ellam offering to provide for her at his house fur Is. a day, until the assizes, and, to prevent the husband from going away, ho would (being a surveyor) employ him upon the roads. The magistrates thanked Mr. Ellam for the kindness and humanity which he had displayed throughout the entire case. Too much praise cannot be given to young Ellam for the persevering courage displayed in the capture of Wood; and but for the accident of he and his father being in the stables, and their prompt assistance at the rescue, the poor woman would, in all probability, been left dead on the road. DEATH OF A GENTLEMAN FROM POISON.—Last evening Mr. William Carter held an inquest at the Prince Regent Inn, Dulwich, respecting the death of Christopher Graham, Esq., aged 82 years, who died at his mansion, Dulwich, on Monday morning last. The deceased gentleman was for many years chief partner in the firm of Graham, Simpson, North, and Co., New Bridge-street, Blackfriars. Henry Keniance, the deceased's late footman, deposed that his master had been ver y all l at t er l y with lum bago, for which complaint he had been under the care of Mr. English, sur geon. On Monday morning last a female servant came, and said, " Master is very bad, and the stuff they have sent him to take almost choked him, as he was twenty minutes in taking it." Witness then told her that she must have given him the wrong medicine. Witness ran up to the bedroom, and found that she had given the deceased embrocation in stead of the draught. Mrs. Graham was instantly made acquainted with the fact, and ordered Mr. English to be sent for. He attended with the stomach pump, but the deceased because insensible, and died in four hours afterwards. The lotion was labelled with directions for use. The female who administered the same was in the habit of being called into their bed-chamber at all times of the night, and on the pre sent unfortunate occasion she had in haste taken up the wrong bottle.—Arthur William English, of Foresthill, Dulwich, surgeon, stated that he was called in on the morn ing in question to re the deceased. He found the deceased gentleman lying in a partial state of coma. Witness easily detected what be had taken, and deemed it necessary to withdraw the contents of the !stomach. He had swallowed a large quantity of the embrocation or liniment, which con sisted of laudanum, camphor, and ammonia. Wit ness ma d e him acquainted with the melancholy fact, but he soon be came insensible after the use of the stomach pump. Irri tation came on, which was followed by inflammation of the stomach, which resulted from the ammonia. He continued to sink, and died about noon from the effects of poison. Other evidence having been taken, the coroner remark e d on the deplorable natu re o f the affair, after which the jury agreed to a verdict of Accidental Death. SimiDE AT WATERLOO -BRIDGE.—On Wednesday night Mr. Payne held an adjourned inquest at the Vestry hall, Horsleydown, on the body of Mary Ann Simmonds, aged thirty-four„ who committed suicide, by throwing her self off Waterloo-bridge. Laura Jones said she had known the deceased several years, by having been formerly under the protection of Mr. Plummer, the late Mayor of Canter bury. The last time she saw the deceased alive was about half-past one on Tuesday morning, Jan. 5, when she told witness that she had got a favourite bird and a writing desk belonging to Mr. Plummer, and she was very glad. She then seemed very much excited about it. Witness knowing that since the death of Mr. Plummer she was very much reduced in circumstances, asked her if she would come on the morrow and take tea, but she only smiled and shook her head. She was not seen after that by any of her relations alive. The deceased, who lived with Mr. Plummer thirteen years, always passed as his wife, and on his death, about a year and a-half back, she fretted very much. After his death his family gave the deceased forty pounds, and got Pi t u h m e m d deceased's papers. ae d sste t r, li g za av ß e usselio evidence; and, in addition, said the deceased, owing 3p6o,ssCesrsoi possession Crown-street, t l , Mr. So ho, corrobo rativeto her altered circumstances, was much depressed in mind, and had threatened to drown herself. On being missed witness went to the station at Bow-street, and there ascer tained that a female, whom, from the description she gave as to her clothing, she bad no doubt was her sister who was seen on the morning she left Mrs. Jones's to jump off Water loo-bridge. Efforts to save her were ineffectual. From other evidence it appeared that the body was found in the river off Cotton's wharf, on the morning of the 2d inst. In the absence o f positive proof of the deceased being the person who jumped off the bridge, the jury returned an open verdict of " Found ' a ' turday night, an explosion, attended with property, al oe , occurred droownneds. buildings,serious dsesatiarmucatnionna..ronfwp, h i i ii ch ß s an ev dall en ' o e ; escaped instant death It appeared a' narrowly y d eleven o'clock, the ' whole of the that tt between pers ons n t ar n windows, shop front, doors, and stock in trade belonging to Mr. Farebrother, general dealer , were hurl e d i nto t h e street. The house from the bottom to the top was exten sively injured. Some of the most courageous of the neigh bours ventured into. the ruins, when they found M r . Fare brother lying on his back, in the parlour, covered with rub bish, and almost speechless. A little further off, they found his wife, with an infant in her arms, lying amidst a mass of broken chairs and tables. They were all got out, when it was ascertained that the three were severely bruised. Two children, sleeping in the upper floor, were forced out of bed, and were also injured, but not to any serious extent. The party wall between No. 1 and No. 10 in the buildings was rent in twain, so that it became apparent the damage done was not confined to one house. As soon as the last numbered building was entered, Mr. Johnson, the occupier, was found lying in the passage, he having been hurled from the top landing by the shock down stairs. From a careful inspec tion since made, it has been ascertained that one of the gas mains had become leaky, and the vapour having escaped had caused the disaster. _ _ ST.
