The object of this Association is totally to abolish the use of climbing boys, who, notwithstanding the penalties to which those employing them are subjected by the 3d and 4th Victoria, cap. 85, are continually resorted to. This bread' of the law is acquiesced in by a large portion of the public, from a conviction of the utter ins , possibility in innumerable cases of cleansing a chimney or flue with the old machine. For the laudable purpose of furthering the objects of the law by avoiding all necessity for its infringement, the inge nious and effective Ramoneur machine has been invented. This invention consists of four brushes forming a square head, which by means of elastic springs contracts or expands, according to the small or extended space in which the machine moves, thereby creating an even pressure on all four sides of a chimney. The rods attached to this head or brush are supplied at intervals with, universal spring joints, capable of turning even a right angle and the whole is surmounted with a double revolving ball, having also a universal spring joint, which leads the brush with certainty past every angle, and into every corner, cleansing its route most perfectly. The capabilities of this machine are best demonstrated by the fact, that it is exclusively used in the Government and numerous public offices, while the patronage bestowed by a large number of the nobility and gentry iu continuing their annual con tracts to the patentees evidences their sense of its superiority, as well as of the philanthropic views of the projectors. Detailed prospectuses may be obtained, and a working model of the machine seen, at the offices of the solicitor, F, Dolman, Esq., 39, Jermyn-street, St. James's ; at Messrs. Barry and Co.'s , brokers, 7, ilirchin-lane ; at W. Heath, Esq.'s, Nag's Head-court, Gracechurch-street; and at the principal office, 1, Wellington-street, London-bridge, Borough, where applications for shares may be addressed. THE PERFECT SUBSTITUTE for SILVER. The high estimate formed by the public during the twelve years WILLIAM S. BURTON'S (late RIBBON and BURTON'S) chemically purified material has been before it (made into every useful and ornamental article usually made in silver, possessing, as it does, the characteristic purity and durability of silver), has called into existence the deleterious compounds of " Albata I'late," " Berlin Silver," and other so-called substitutes ; they are at best but had imitations of the genuine articles manufactured and sold only by him. Fiddle Threaded Kings Pattern. Pattern. Pattern, FATIIE R. DUBLIN, SEPT. 6.—The Right Hon. Edward Penne father, late Chief Justice of the Queen's Bench, which office he held during the memorable State trials, ex pired after a long illness this day at his residence in Fitz william-square. By his death, a pension (we believe) of 3,0001. per annum reverts to the Crown. Mr. Pennefather was called to the bar in Easter Term 1796, and was, beyond all question, the ablest equity lawyer of his day, his practice being nearly wholly confined to that branch of the profession. REPEAL ASSOCIATION. The usual weekly meeting of this body was held this day, and was more than usually well attended. Mr. J. Reynolds, M.P. for the city of Dublin, in the chair. Mr. J. O'CONNELL read a letter from the Right Rev. Dr. Keating, Bishop of Ferns, enclosing 281., the subscription of twenty-eight Roman Catholic clergymen of that diocese. Mr. O'CONNELL then proceeded to observe, that there was one subject upon which he thought no time should be lost in pronouncing the opinion of the Asso ciation. He alluded to the cases the details of which had met the eye of every one present in the public prints—details which had horrified every one who heard of them—of the miserable sufferings of the Irish paupers in their deportation to this country from England. Nothing more horrible than these de tails had he ever encountered. The management of, and interference;with, their affairs by Eng land presented an uninterrupted series of events of a sad and afflictive nature connected with this unfortu nate country.—(Hear ' hear.) It would seem as if England, being fearful they should become oblivious of her cruelties, was determined to prevent them be coming so, by a constant repetition of her cruelty and oppression. They seized on - the Irish helpless pauper, who had spent the best of his days and strength to increase the wealth of England—they seized him after having got the value of the labour of his youth and manhood, and dragged him and his wretched family from the cabin in which they lived, at the dead of night, and placed them on board of a ship in the midst of the severest weather, in a state of de bility from disease, at the imminent risk of their lives. It was well that these scenes should be placed on their records, for they were part of the long, black, and heavy indictment which they had to bring against England for her long-continued oppressive and tyran nical treatment of Ireland.—(Hear, hear.) The learned speaker then read to the] association, the details of the sufferings of the Irish paupers trans mitted by the Duchess of Kent steamer to this country during the last week, and then proceeded :—These murders—for murders they were—by the parish authorities of England, sanctioned by the statesmen in the English Parliament, and by the writers of the English press—(Hear, hear)—these murders would go on unless the people'of Ireland aroused themselves and proclaimed their determination not to receive their paupers from England, unless their absentee landlords were transmitted to this country along with them. Mr. O'Connell concluded by moving the in sertion of the newspaper paragraph from which he had read on the minutes of the association. Mr. O'HEA addressed the association on the same subject. He altogether disapproved of the verdict of the jury which sat on the bodies of the two persons who died on board the steam-packet on the occasion in question. Such an act of unparalleled atrocity never presented itself even amongst savages; and, in his opinion, any conscientious jury would find the persons who had sent these unfortunate paupers on board ship under such circumstances guilty of murder.—(Hear, and cheers.) The CHAIRMAN, in putting the motion, also ex pressed his opinion that the act of the English parish authorities made them guilty of cool and deliberate murder. A red Indian in America would not treat a brother as those Rochdale butchers had treated the unfortunate boy Duignan, and with the blessing of God, he would ring the changes on this subject in a short time hence in another House, which should be nameless.—(Cheers.) The motion then passed unanimously. Mr. O'CoNNELL again addressed the Association, condemning the acts of the Government in stopping the public works in Ireland, and stated, on the au thority of the Rev. Mr. Cochlan, of Kilmory, county. of Mayo, that no less than one thousand six hun dred persons, who had been thrown out of employment by the cessation of those works, were at that time in a state of utter starvation, and without the slightest means of relieving themselves.— ' (Hear, hear.) He warned the English Government to provide some means of employment for the people during the ensuing winter, when the greatest destitu tion would inevitably prevail, from a want of money to purchase food. They had a glorious harvest, but the greatest part of it would go to England to pay the rents of their absentee landlords ; while the poor small farmers were mulcted with an enormous poor-rate which it was impossible for them to p a y. He shuddered to contemplate the torrents of blood which would be shed when these oppressive rates came to be collected. He would go so far as to dread that all the horrors of insurrection would occur when the collection of these rates was sought to be enforced by the military power of England.—(Hear, hear.) The learned gentleman concluded by advising that a meeting should be held prior to the meeting of Par liament of all the Irish Members, Repealers and non- Repealers, for the purpose of striking out a course of policy to be worked out by them in unison together tor the amelioration of the condition of the country. The rent for the week having been announced as 891., the association adjourned. WHOLESALE EVICTION OF TENANTRY. Last week a great number of poor occupiers— between 500 and 600 persons altogether — were evicted from a property under the Court of Chancery , in the county of Cavan, bordering on Meath. The rece iver under: the court, w h o i s a Member of the House of Commons, acted on the occasion with humanity and forbearance ; but, under the circum stances, he had no alternative but the performance of a most painful duty. The multitude of wretched outcasts, consisting of about 160 families, are now seeking shelter in temporary huts erected in the hedges about the neighbourhood. An application is to be made to the Lord Chancellor for a grant out of em i gra te to America, and th ere can b e n o doubt that thehs Lordship funds h i i n p t w h l l c a r u e s a e d , l t y o enable the poor people to adopt that humane course, L if at all consistent with his duty.

Mr. John Morley, of Barton-upon-Humber, in the county of Lincoln, sur geon —l h ave h a d a pos t mor t em examination of a newly-born infant now lying dead in the parish church of Ferriby. I saw the same child last Saturday afternoon. The umbilical cord was cut and untied. The body was rigid. From internal and external appearances I believe the child to have been between eight and nine months old. I believe the child has never breathed. Having under stood from the mother that she was attacked with fever on Monday, the 23d ult., I am of opinion that the attack of fever may have caused premature labour. The Ns alk from Horkstow to Ferriby may have has tened her labour. The brain, the state of the bowels, and the skull, all lead me to believe the child had not arrived at its maturity. Ann Hewson, the wife of John liewson, of Ferriby aforesaid, labourer—About five o'clock last Friday afternoon I understood a woman was ill in the town street. I and others went to the woman, but we all left her for assistance, and in about ten minutes I re turned to her. In the meantime the woman had been delivered of a child. No one was [with the woman when she was delivered. I came with the mother to the Nelthorpe Arms, where she is now lying. On our way there she told me the child was still-born. Francis Spencer, of Horkstow, in the county of Lincoln, upon his oath, saith—l never knew that the mother of the infant had been attacked with fever. I never knew that she was unwell, until a short time before she left Airs. Tufnell's premises on Friday. On passing the stable-door I said—" What are you doing here ?" I did not know but that she was at work. She replied that she was very poorly. I had no reason to believe that she was attacked with pains of labour. Shortly before the family left the pre mises I asked the husband whether his wife was near her confinement ? The husband said " No," in an angry tone ; " nothing of the sort ; it would be Christmas before she would be confined." The hus band wanted to leave his wife and children while he found further work, but I refused. George Twidall, of Horkstow, aforesaid, labourer —I am a servant under Francis Spencer. I saw the Irishman and his family leave Spencer's premises. They parted good friends. The Irishman offered to give Spencer a quart of ale if he would go to Ferriby. (Kane denies this.) Spencer declined. I never knew that the Irishman's wife was ill. She lodged in a stable seven or eight yards from Spencer's house. Verdict of the jury—" That the child was not born alive." TWO GENTLEMEN FRO ZEN TO DEATH IN INVERNESS-SHIRE. The Lord Mayor has received the following com munication from the Sheriff-substitute of Inverness shire : "Fortwilliam, Inverness-shire, Sept. 3. " My Lord,—The melancholy duty devolves on me to announce the deaths yesterday morning of two English gentlemen under very painful circumstances. " I take the liberty of addressing you, instead of writing to the addresses of the gentlemen themselves, in order that the mournful intelligence may be com municated in as delicate a manner as the case will admit of, and to prevent any sudden shock being given to the relatives. " The names of the deceased gentlemen are Wil liam Stericker, of 49, Fenchurch-street, and William Henry Whitburn, brewer, of Esher, Surrey. "I refer to the enclosed paper, containing the evi dence of one of the first persons who found the bodies and which contains all the information I have as yet collected. The report of the medical men is also en closed, agreeing that death occurred from natural causes. I have not as yet ordered a dissection, and will abstain from doing so unless circumstances of a suspicious nature may emerge, but which Ido not expect. The necessary attention to the bodies will be bestowed, and I shall suspend all directions as to interment until the pleasure of the relatives becomes known. " I proceed this evening with the procurator-fiscal to the spot where the bodies were found, to prosecute further inquiries. " I have the honour to remain, &c., " ANDREW FRAZER, Sheriff substitute." The evidence alluded to is that of W. S. Milner, ensign in the 69th Regiment of Foot, who had been residing with his brother at Kinlochbeg, 15 miles from Fortwilliam, and it gives the following account : " About eight o'clock this morning (the 2d of September) one of the servants told me that a drover said he had seen a dead man by the roadside about two miles from Kinlochbeg. I immediately walked to the spot, and found two men lying close to one another about three yards from the roads on the low side, quite dead. There was not the slightest sign of struggling or of violence, and their appearance gave me the impression that, having sat down to rest, they became benumbed with the cold, and expired. Both were dressed as if travellers, each with a small knap sack on his back. There was a small whisky pocket flask, quite empty, lying near them. A waterproof cape was lying about 400 yards from them, as if the wind had blown it from them. Last night was very stormy, very much so—wind and rain in great abund ance, probably the most stormy night we have had this year." The statement then gives a particular account of the property found upon the two deceased persons. The medical certificate expressed the opinion that death was caused by exhaustion and cold, from the deceased having fallen asleep on the mountain on that boisterous night. The Lord Mayor, upon receipt of the communica tion on Monday, sent his chaplain to the friends of Mr. Stericker, and one of the marshals to Esher, to disclose the intelligence. It appears that the two gentlemen were strangers to each other, and had journeyed together acciden tally. Each had left his home for the purpose of en joying a pleasure excursion through the romantic scenery of Scotland, and they had been seen on the preceding night laughing with a milk girl, at no great distance from the spot at which their corpses were found. Mr. Stericker had written home on the 31st of August, to inform his friends that he felt perfect happiness in the enjoyment of the most romantic country in the world. CORONER'S INQUEST.—Yesterday Mr. Baker he an inquest at the Blacksmiths' Arms, Backhouse-lane, St. George-in-the-East, on view of the body of Eliza beth Abbey, aged seven months. The mother. of the e deceased was compelled to go into servi ce, when she put her child out to nurse, it being only d folr monthshealth, old ; from that time it gradually decline s a o n n d t o f n o r l a , s w t h S o u n f d o a n y mornin g n dit insensible. p s r u e r s g o r e i o b n e , d was an aromatic medicine, but that had no effect, and it died in a few hours, being reduced almost to a skeleton. Mr. Garrett said that death was caused from the want of its natural diet. The Coroner observed that it was stated by Dr. Buchanan that out of 100 infants put out to dry nurse about 99 died. Verdict—" Death by atrophy, from the want of its mother's milk." APPLICATION OF ETHER TO BEES.--Some very curious experiments were performed yesterday morning in the gardens of a gentleman residing in the road to the north of the Regent's-park, by Mr. Milton, of Great Marylebone-street, who is well known as the author of " The Practical Bee Keeper," bythe application of ether to bee-hives, in order to reduce the bees to a state e of stupefaction whilst the comb and honey Twheereertehmer wasd. The apparatus used was very laced in a glass vessel, to whichaimp a h fle th i e hive (a glass af fixed, which was introduced be neat on which the one) through a small hole in t le x . 'We tube was hive was placed. The larger vessel of warm wate r, utes the vapour completely stu pifiedglass v h e y s e s el whichas thenthe vapour placed i was n s subtilized. In seven min then removed. The atmospheric h w o es fell inanimate to the bottom of the the bees , . sir revived the bees in about ten minutes, and in a hive. The short time af h te lv r we they were fully recovered. The same effects were then produced by the fumes of burnt nitre in another glass hive. The stupefaction of the bees was more immediate, but their recovery on exposure to the atmospheric air was obtained. Another experiment was tried on a third hive, by igniting the species of dried fungus called a " powder-puff," and the result was si milar. The use of ether, however, appeared more tract able, the strength being more capable of regulation than that of either the nitre or the " powder puff." It was, moreover, more cleanly, and less likely to occasion acci dents. The honey is not likely to be affected by the vapour of ether. It is so extremely volatile that its powers are dispersed by the atmospheric air almost im mediately. The great advantage is the simplicity as well as the efficacy of the application, and all apiarians will acknowledge themselves indebted to Mr. Milton for his introduction of a mode of obtaining honey, and at the same time preserving the bees, superior to any yet made use of. COAL-PIT EXPLOSION.--An inquest was held on Tuesday, before T. Badger, Esq., at the Masons' Arms, Worsbro' . Dale, on the bodies of John Cawthor ne and Daniel Beeves, miners, who died in conseq uence of an explosion of fire damp at the Darley Maine Pits on Friday morning week. The two unfortunate men, in company with another, had descended on the morn ing in question, and when at the bottom their safety lamps indicated the presence of foul a i r in the pit. Cawthorne endeavoured to extinguish his lamp. The current of air thus propelled drove the flame outside the gauze frame, and an explosion was the conse quence. The deceased were both severely burnt, the others escaping comparatively scathless. Cawthorne died on Sunday, and Beeves on Monday.

BARTON-UPON-HUMBER, SUNDAY. On the morning of Friday, the 27th ult., an Irish man, named Kane, had finished harvesting for Mr. Spencer, a farmer, the overseer of Horkstow parish, and bailiff to the I-lon. Mrs. Tufnell. Kane had with him his wife and six children, four of whom, with the mother, were ill of fever, and the poor woman was also in the last stage of pregnancy. About noon on the above day the woman, feeling the pains of labour approaching, desired her husband to go to Mr. Spencer. and obtain his permission or them to re main in the stable until the Monday morning. Spencer refused to allow them to remain there any longer, and, passing the stable door shortly after, asked the woman whether she was brought to bed ? She said she was not, but felt very poorly. Finding herself worse she afterwards begged her husband, " for the honour of God," to go a second time to Mr. Spencer, and intreat him to allow her to remain. Kane did so, and told him his wife was not fit to be removed, and that she was very ill. Spencer, however, again refused, made up the man's money, and told him he should not have a farthing of it until he brought his wife and family into the road, and taken them fairly off the premises. Kane then begged for a cart in which to take his wife to Winterton, a neighbouring village, where he ex pected to find a lodging-house in which his wife might be confined. Spencer said there was no cart to be had, and mounted a stack which his men were making in the rickyard, after again telling the Irishman that he would not pay him for his reaping until he had brought his wife and children out of the stable into the road. The poor woman then made shift to get up and walk into the road, and on seeing her there with her six children, four of whom were shivering from the fever, Spencer came down the stack and paid the man the money owing to him, 11. I 9s. They had not proceeded 20 yards before the woman felt so much pain that she was compelled to sit down on the roadside, and she told her husband she was afraid she should be confined " before she got anywhere." Two Irishmen here came up, and, seeing her state, they wanted to carry the woman back to the stable she had left and force her in, even against Spencer's consent. The miserable woman, however, again summoned strength to proceed on her painful journey, but before she could reach the next village, South Fer riby, about a mile distant from Horkstow, she was forced to sit down two or three times by the way, surrounded by her compassionating children and her husband, who were compelled to he the witnesses of anguish which they could do nothing to relieve. Be tween four and five o'clock the family reached South Ferriby, and here in the middle of the public street the poor creature was obliged to lie down against the wall of a cottage, and within five paces of the cottage door. The pangs of labour came on, and the husband in the greatest distress of mind hurried from farm-house to farm. house, imploring permission to bring his wife into any barn or stable. He does not appear to have thought for a moment of asking shelter for his wife in any of the cottages in the street in which she lay, nor was any such asylum offered to her. The children of the village, of all ages, soon drew round the wretched woman, and gazed with curious and inquisitive eyes upon throes and sufferings of which they could so little understand the cause; while she, with an in stinctive delicacy which every mother will under stand, even in that hour of nature's hardest trial, stifled her cries as well as she could, out of a certain respect and shrinking, from that young circle of spec tators. Some of the women of the village looked on at various degrees of distance, but no one came to render her any help. She called out, and one woman, herself the mother of five or six children, at length came up, but was too frightened to remain, and went away "to get assistance," it being ten minutes, ac cording to her own account, before she returned ! For half an hour did this poor Irishwoman, accord ing to the statement which I received from her own lips, lie in the High-street of the village, before any one castle to her assistance. When her husband returned to tell her that he could not get her an asylum even in a barn or a stable, the woman had, alone and unassisted, given birth to a female child, which she wrapped up and protected from the cold as well as she could in her tattered garments. Some of the cottagers at length came up, and the mother and the infant, which gave no signs of life, were removed to the stables of the Nelthorpe Arms, a public-house in the village. No medical man appears to have been sent for until 24 hours afterwards, when Mr. Morley, a surgeon of Barton-upon-Humber, medical officer of the district, attended, upon the order of the overseer of the parish of South Ferriby. He found the woman very ill, and delirious from the effects of fever, as well as from the circumstances of her exposure, and he immediately ordered her re moval from the stable in which she lay with her children to a room in the inn, where she now remains. On the following day the poor woman was visited by thejAbbe Canut, the Roman Catholic priest of Barton upon-Humber, who performed the ministrations of his church, and who has since manifested great sym pathy for the hapless family. Mr. Morley's attention and humanity have also been highly praiseworthy. Three of the children, of the respective ages of 10, 8, and 2 years, were yesterday lying in the stable, help less, and shivering from the fever, covered up with a few miserable rags, while a third hild, between 4 and 5 years old, is lying in bed with the mother, both of them also being ill with the fever. To-day the mother is somewhat worse, and she remains in a dan gerous state. THE INQUEST. An inquest was held on Thursday last, at the Ne thorpe Arms, South Ferriby, before Mr. G. Marris coroner, on view of the body of a female infant, the daughter of Andrew and Mary Kane, when the fol lowing evidence was taken : Andrew Kane, of the county of Mayo, kingdom of Ireland, labourer, upon his oath saith—l am the father of the infant the jury have just now seen lying dead in the parish church of Ferriby. My wife was brought to bed on Friday last about two o'clock in Ferriby town street. I was not present ; I was looking out for a barn in which to place my wife. I and my wife had been working harvest in the parish of Horkstow, under Mrs. Tufnell's agent, Frank Spencer. For the last four or five days prior to her confinement my wife had not been able to work ; she was poorly on Friday last. After I had finished my job about noon my wife told me she thought she was going to get her bed, and she desired me two or three times to go to Frank Spencer to ask leave for my wife to remain in the barn. I told Spencer my wife was too unwell to be moved. I went twice to Spencer for the same purpose. Spencer refused to let my wife remain in the barn, saying they were not his stables. The stables are on Mrs. Tufnell's premises in Hork stow, and Spencer superintends them. I, my wife, and six children, had been lodging in that barn ten or eleven days. Four of my ' children were then un well. On the Friday in question Spencer came to the barn, and asked my wife whether she was poorly, and whether she was brought to bed there. My wife replied she had not got her bed, but she was poorly. I don't know by the word "poorly" whether my wife meant that she was unwell merely, or that she was in the pains of labour. Spencer then desired me to go out and get the land measured that I had been shear ing. Spencer went with me and measured the land for me, which occupied about half an hour. The money amounted to 1/. 195., which I had to take. Spencer then said to me, " When you have brought your wife and children out of the barn, and go on the road, I will give you your money," and he said he would not give me a farthing of it until I had taken my family out of the barn. I then asked Spencer where I could get a cart, and he said there was no cart to be had in that town, that I had better take my family on to Ferriby, and that I might get a cast in a carrier's cart to Winter ton. I had previously asked for a cart to go to Winterton. I then took my family out of the barn, and Frank Spencer came from a stack, and paid me my money. The first day we went to work , u , nder Frank Spencer, Mrs. Spencer said to my w . ife, YO.II will soon get your bed, I think My wife !epi_rd, "No ; I don't expect my bed until Christmas:l Hav ing ing left the barn at Horkstow I and my f towards Ferriby. My wife had not . proceeded more than twenty yards when she was obliged to s it down, and she told me she should get her bed, she thought, before she got anywhere. My wife got up again and proceeded towards Ferriby, and she ultimately got her bed as bef ore described. I don 't . know w h e th e r Spencer could see my wife when she first sat down on the road after having left the barn. I can't say that Spencer knew my wife was about to get her bed. Elizabeth Skinner, the wife of Richard Skinner, of Ferriby, aforesaid, shopkeeper—About six o'clock on Friday evening last, having understood that a woman was in labour in the High-street, Ferriby, I went to the spot and found a woman with a newly-born child upon her knee. There were several people there, and some of them told me the child was dead. I put my finger into its mouth ; the mouth was warm, but there was no symptom of life, and I judged the child had not been long dead. I can't say whether the child was full grown or not. My opinion is, the child was born alive, but I won't be certain. I have occasionally delivered women, and I have been a regular nurse fourteen years. I had no conversation SUPPOSED MURDER Ay PATS HULL. — On Sunday forenoon last the body of a man, ide tified to be that of John Larkin, an Irish labo er, was found drowned in a pool in Patshull-park, close to the park farm. It was first seen floating in the water by a child, and was shortly afterwards taken out of the pool by the direction of Mr. Asheby, house steward to Sir Robert Piggott's seat at Patshull, and was placed in an outhouse. From the putrid state in which the body was found, it is supposed that it had been in the water a week ; and, from various circum stances which have come to light, it is suspected that the deceased met with his death by unfair means. It appears, that about two months ago the deceased came to this country from the county of Mayo to work, and earned some money from several parties ; amongst others, from Mr. Till, of Oaken. His brother, - and seven other Irishmen, from the same part of the country, arrived in the neighbourhood of Patshull about six weeks ago. On Saturday, the 6th of August, Peter Larkin, the brother of the deceased, took the cutting of 26 acres of wheat from Sir Robert Pigott's land-bailiff at Pattshull. They commenced their work the week following, and during the week the deceased became very unwell. As his complaint ' was supposed to be fever, he was removed by the directions of Sir Robert Pigott to the Shiffnal union workhouse. He remained there only four days, and then returned to Patshull. Finding that his brother and the other men had gone to work at Mr. Boy cott's, he remained in the neighbourhood until they returned to complete their job at Patshull. They came back on Wednesday, the 18th of August, but the deceased was unwell, and not able to do more than carry beer and bread to his brother, and bind up the sheaves of wheat. The deceased was not seen in the neighbourhood after Sunday night, the 21st ult., although the barn in which all the parties slept was not more than fifteen yards from the dwell ing of the land-bailiff. On Sunday, the 22d ult., the wife of the baliff asked one of the eight men how Larkin, the sick man, was, as she had not seen him during the day. The man replied that he was very poorly, and was lying in the outhouse. On the fol lowing Wednesday, the 25th, when the work had been completed, Peter Larkin and one of the men went to the bailiff for the money which was due. The bailiff asked Larkin how his brother was, and whether he would take the money which was due to him. Peter Larkin replied, "My brother is very poorly indeed, and is lying above in the barn." The bailiff then paid all that was due. The same men afterwards met some Irishmen who were working in the neighbourhood, and asked how the deceased was. Peter Larkin, on this occasion, replied, " Oh, he is pretty well ; he is gone on the road to Wolverhamp ton, and I am going to take him home by railway to Ireland." On the same day, about five o'clock in the afternoon, Peter Larkin, and the man who had ac companied him to the land-bailiff at Patshull, called on Mr. Till, of Oaken, and asked for the balance due to his brother, John Larken, he having on a previous occasion received 21., without the knowledge or sanction of the deceased. Mr. Till inquired of Peter Larkin how his brother was. He replied that he was poorly, and that he had been in the Shiffnal union, but had been removed, and was at that time in the Tettenhall workhouse. Nothing more was heard of the deceased until Sunday last, when his body was found, as before stated, in the pool. In his right hand was firmly grasped a jug, which had been borrowed by one of the men from Huselby, wife of the land bailiff, on Sunday, the 22d, when John Larkin was first missed. The only article of clothing found on the body was a shirt, and no clothes have since been discovered in the neighbourhood. It also appears that, during the illness of the deceased, he went frequently to the house of the bailiff, whose wife was very kind to him, giving him coffee and other things, in consequence of his being in a bad state of health. As she did not see him on the Mon day, Tuesday, or Wednesday before referred to, she concluded that he had left the neighbourhood. A post-mortem examinination of the body took place on Tuesday, by Mr. Bidwell and his son, Dr. Bidwell. We hear that marks cf a severe blow or blows were found on the left side of the head and face of the de ceased, which presented the appearance of a complete jelly, and we believe it is the opinion of Dr. Bidwell and his father, that, although the deceased came by his death from drowning, yet he must previously have received the blows referred to ; that those blows must have stunned him, and that while in this state he was put into the water. We also hear that it is the opinion of the medical gentlemen, from the state of decompo sition in which the body now is, that it must have been in the pond at least five or six days.—Shropshire Conservative. NEW POSTAGE STAMPS. The new stamps, representing postage rates of 10d. and ls. each, are being prepared at Somerset house. The ls. stamps are ready for issue, 'and the proof of the 10d. one has been approved of by the authorities. Both stamps are of the compressed octagonal form, the same width as the embossed " heads" upon the envelopes now in use, but rather deeper than such stamps. The profile of her Majesty, which is most accurately drawn, and exquisitely engraven, is deeply sunk in the die, and consequently it stands out in bold relief. Round the profile are the words " Postage, One Shilling," or " Postage, Tenpence," as the case may be. The colour of the ls. stamp is green, and it is intended for those of 10d. to use a brown ink or composition. The stamps are struck on she e ts o f twenty each, for the conveni▪ ence of purchasers, and well backed with adhesive matter. These stamps will be valuable for parcels and foreign letters. They are not to be confined t o f o r e i gn letters, but may be indiscriminately used for inland, ship, or foreign postages, where the demand of th e office, either for transit or wei▪ ght, reaches the amount represented. To the merchant, or others, sending foreign letters the convenience will be very great, while the time saved to the office in the operation of obliteration will be considerable. The following instruction has been issued to the deputy-postmasters :—" The Lords of her M a j es ty' s Treasury having authorised the issue of postage stamps of the value of one shilling, a specimen is forwarded separately to those deputies, &c., who obliterate postage stamps, for the purpose of being compared, in case of doubt, with the stamped letters of this de scription that may pass through the Post-office. With respect to the issue of these new postage stamps to postmasters, for;sale to the public, the distribution by the Post-office will be confined, for the present,. to the postmasters of the under-mentioned places in the United Kingdom, who will be su pplied with the new stamps as early as possible. The postmaster entrusted with the sale of these postag e stamps will sell them to the public at the rate of ls. each, whatever may be the number sold. The usual poundage, at the rat e o f 1 per cent. upon the sale, will be allowed to post &c., contai ne d i n th e book mas t e rs who are e ntrusted with the distribution of these stamps to the public. The instructions on the subject ellingstamps, issued to postmasters, in 1846, must be carefully acted upon w ith regar d t o the new stamps. Amended f orms o f accounts f or o f g eneral o f canc instructions postage stamps will be transmitted to all postmasters, and upon their receiving a supply they will return to this department the present forms for stamps in their possession.

ALARM OF FIRE AT THE STRAND THEATRE.— Last night, shortly before ten o'clock, an alarming scene occurred during the performance at the New Strand. Theatre. It appeared that the flame of one of the gas burners on the stage had heated an iron reflector so as to fire the timber bracket on which it was fixed. A few sparks were seen by a man in the gallery to fall upon the stage, when he foolishly raised a cry of " Fire This created the greatest alarm among the visitors, which was increased by the sudden fall of the curtain.. This was done that the stage-manager might inform the. audience that no danger was apprehended. It how ever had a contrary effect, and a general rush took place.. The man who first raised the alarm, on getting into the street, again shouted " Fire I" This caused the rumour to be circulated, and the engines, with a strong muster of firemen, started to the spot. Fortunately their ser vices were not required.
