ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. TAVISTOCIL—Oppsi don is threatened in this borough b% the R “licals bringing forward Mr. Goldsmid, the wealthy Jew, as a candidate ; but the opinion of the more sober el. ctors is, that the present representatives, Lord E. Russell and Mr. Trelawney will be re-elected. The latter gentleman's address to the elect-rs has been in circulation several days.—Devonport Telegraph. A considerable change has taken place in the election movements of Plymouth. The division of the Liberals gave hopes to the Tories of the borough, who have found a candidate in the person of a Mr. Palmer, a nephew of Mr. Horsley Palmer, who made his appearance on Tues day night last, and delivered his sentiments before an assemblage of the electors, at the Royal Hotel. In con sequence of this, Mr. Crowder, on the following day, resigned, to the regret of a very large body of the con. stituency. Mr. Willeoca, who also issued an address on the Liberal side, has withdrawn from the contest, which is now left to Lord Ebrington and Mr. Calmady, on the one side, and Mr. Palmer ou the other.—Devonport Telegraph. In Liskeard, a Conservative candidate has appeared in opposition to Mr. Charles Buller, but we should sup pose with about as much chance of success as that of any of his Tory predecessors in that borough.—Devonport Telegraph. The London correspondent of the Dublin Evening Past thus estimates the strength of the different parties in the ensuing Parliament:— " There are, even thus early, calculations of the re sults of the elections. I shall give you the most plau sible, as a curiosity : Ministerialists Peelites Protectionists " All the calculations I have seen give a majority to the Ministry—some more, some less; but my own im pression is, that they will have a fair working majority, which will be a most commanding one on questions on which Sir Robert Peel agrees with Lord John Russell. The nomination for the borough of Great Marlow is fixed for Friday next, at the hour of eleven in the fore* noon ; candidates, Thomas Peers Williams, Esq., and his cousion, Lieut.- Col. Brownlow Knox, Protectionist ; and Colonel Sir W. R. Clayton, Bart., Liberal, stands to oppose the borough being made the mere nomination borough of Mr. Williams, who is not content with re turning himself for the last thirty years, but now de mands the second seat for his relative. This close I), trough only numbers 370 electors—.a leas constituency than it possessed previous to the Rel. rm Bill. The nomination for the borough of Wycombe is fixed for Thursday next. Candidates, G. H. Dashwood, Esq., and M. T. Smith, Esq. TORY TACTICS AT BOLTON.—The cunningly devised requisition to Mr. Ainsworth, requesting him again to offer himself as a candidate for the r. presentation of the borough, has met with the fate it deserved. The cir cumstances under which the honouraba gentleman re tired were in no respect altered ; but Tories ver-aed have been delighted could they have drawn him into the field to divide the ranks of the Reformers, and thus promote the success of Mr. Billing. the " popular candidate." A more impudent trick was never attempted. A Tory requisition to a gentleman of Liberal op inions—one whom they strained every nerve to defeat at the last election! It was a deliberate insult, inasmuch as it im plied a possibility that Mr. Ainsworth might lend him serf • s as their tool in the hope of regaining his seat in Par liament. The trick, however, has recoiled upon the trick,ters. Mr. Ainsworth has refused to comply with the solicitation of the Tory requisition, and has thus left the field open to a fair, stand-up. manly fight between Toryism and Reform. No doubt the Tories would have been glad, had they been able to widen the breach be tween Mr. Ainsworth and the Reform party; but hap pily they have failed in their design, and that failure will rend very materially to re-unite the Reform party, and secure their triumph.—Bolton Free Press. REPRESENTATION OF ROCIIDALE.—A d •putatton from Rochdale has waited on Mr. Sharman Crawford, at Craw fordsburn. bearing with them a requisition, signed by a large majority of the electors of Rochdale, request ing that he will allow himself to be proposed as a candi date for the representation of the borough in the next Parliament, and pledging themselves to support him. It might have been supposed, that such a requisition was unnecessary, as Mr. Crawford was Member for the bo rough; but, even so, he did not think it right again to offer himself, without a distinct invitation from the elec tors. The invitation now tendered to him is an honour able testimony of approval from his constituents.— Northern Whig. TIIIRSIL—Mr. John Bell again offers himself for his native town, and no opposition is expected to his re election . TEWEESBURY.—Mr. Humphrey Brown the eminent railway traffic statist, who possesses considerable pro • perry in and near Tewkesbury, has come forward as a candidate for the representation of the borough. As there is little doubt of his success, the railway interest wid thus have another representative in Parliament. As a business-man, Mr. Brown, has few .equals. BRISTOL ELECTION.—The nomination for this city will be held this year in the Exchange, as the public Guildhall is considered too small.and inconvenient for the purpose. The writ, it is expected, will he received by the Sheriff this day (Saturday), and the election will, most probably. take place on Wednesday or Thursday. —Bristol Mercury. ELECTION FoR THE BOR01:1011 OF MANCHESTER.—We believe that, it the sheriff's precept Should arrive here in time this morning to admit of the proclamation being made to-day, viz., before four o'clock this afternoon (be yond which hour it cannot be made), it is the intention of Elkanah Armitage, E,q., the mayor, as returning officer, to appoint Thursday next. the 29th inst.. for the nomination of candidates.—Manchester Guardian. REPRLanNTiTT,II4 OF NORTH LANCASHIRE.—Nothing has yet been decided with regard to the northern division of the county. the London papers state that Mr. Charles Townley is to be the Liberal candidate ; but this, we believe. is a premature announcement. We have beam Mr. Townley named,.however, as one who may possibly be requested to Stand. Mr. Alexander Henry and Mr—Alexander Kay, both of this town, and Mr. Standish. have also been named as likely to b, brought forward for North Lancashire.—Manchester Examiner. NOMINATIONS FIXED.

EDINBURGH.-Mr: and Mr. Gibson Craig are to meet the electors to •morrow. There has been some talk of opposition, and several very protracted meetings are understood to have been held with a view to reconcile or compromise the differences between two or three sections of the constituency, who, some on one ground and some on another, desire an opposition to the present Members. It was pretty generally believed last night that the result of these deliberations was, that Mr. Charles Cowan had been requested and had consented to announce himself.—Sortsnian. MID-LOTHIAN.-Sir John Hope, Bart., of Pinkie, has again offered himself for the representation of this county. There is no probability of any opposition.— Scotsman. PEEBLESSIIIRE ELECTlON.—Alexander Gibson Car michael, Esq., of Stirling, the former Liberal candidate, has again taken the field, and has issued an address to the electors. He advocates free-trade, a tree church, and is determined to resist "any encouragement of the Roman Catholic Church," and expresses himself as " generally opposed to all additional Ei•clesiastical en dowments," He advocates educatio❑ at the hands of the State on an extensive scale, but is jealous of State Inter ference within the sacred province of religion. The game laws, he considers to be the production of many social evils, and believes them to be susceptible of con siderable modification WICK BIIRGLIS.—II, is said that a requisition was sent to Mr. Dunlop to ask him to stand for these burghs. We learn from good authority that he has no intention of doing so, and that his friends confidently expect he will be returned kr Greenock.— Scotsman. INVERNESS.—Mr. Hartley Kennedy, brother of the ex member fur Taunton, ha , just issued an address, and will contest the burgh in • ppipaitiori to Vir. Mairhi-s .n. GLAsaow.—The nomination will take place on Thurs day, and the election on Friday. At a meeting of the Roman Catholics, held on Wednesday, M, ssrs. Dixon and Dennistoun were d. elated to be the candidates must worthy of their Auoport and confidence FIFESHIRE ELECTION.— THE GAME-LAWS.—This election promises t., posses m ire than ord.nary inte rest, both from the origin of' the con est, and from the k-enness with which it is t o be fought. Mr. Fergus of Strathore has come forward, not on the prompting of his own ambition, nor as selected by the heals of any political party, but in consequence of a movement among the independent tenantry of the county, whose main motive undoubtedly was to strike a blow at the game-laws, which they foiled practically maintained by both Whig and Tory proprietors to an annoying and intolerable extent. Mr. Fergus's requisi tion bears 500 signatures, compri•ing most of the best a wn of the Fife tenantry, of various shades of politics. It is true, indeed, that besides his consistent enmity to the game laws, Mr. Fergus .. isrecommend e d by hi s life lone. adherence to liberal political opinions. Nevertheless, ih an im d forth is t t a • certain vera e t n h t a t a the n i m y o a v g e ain e s n t t mat t t h h e g h a m a s e c l a a l w l e s d , daily is a movement of the tenant-'armers independent of the local aristocracy or party leaders. As sues, we cannot doubt that all good lib , :rals will regard it with Epecial interest and firralq•—fikoloAtam. DUMBIRTONSIIIRE.—We are glad to observe that the ILiberal , in Dumbartonshire are to make an effort to wr..st the repre , entation in the county from the late ultra T.,ry Mtember, Mr. StnoHet. Mr. Campbell lto• bertson, the gentleman who has come forwarc, is a per son of influence and atiriding connected wit some the most influential families in the country by relation ship, and one who will pursue quite an independent course in Parliament, if he is favoured with the confi dence of the electors.---Glasgow Saturday Post. IRELAND. YouanAL.—Mr. Anstey, an English barrister, and a Catholic, is a candidate for the representation of Youghal. —Northern Whig. THE COUNTY ANTRIM, AND BOROUGH OF LISBURN.-7 We add to-day the addresses of two new candidates. Sir E. W. Macnaghten, tor Antrim, and Sir H. Seymour, who retires from Antrim to the less ostentatious repre sentarion of Lisburn, Captain Mevnell having announced his withdrawal trom Parliament ary toils. Sir E. Mac naghten's address is that of a mo d e r a te Conservativ-, and we expect that he will be a useful Member. Of Sir Fl. Seymour, who has been in Parliament for some time, it is unnecessary to say anything, except that he, too, is a moderate Conservative. Th ere i s no probability that either candidate will meet any opposition ; and when such is the case, we need not trouble ourselves with ob jections upon the ground of political principle. W . e hope and expect that both will be disposed, in Parlia ment, to support measures of practical good for Ireland. —lbid. THE PETITIONS OF THE PAST SESSION.

Mr. H. Cowell. Mr. H. Evan.. lannlord of the Black Prince Tavern, Princes road, Kennington-cross, and Mr. Gypson, the aeronaut, safely arrived at the royal property on Friday morning, at about four A M., after c:inz a sate decent near Bromley, in Kent, having ascended the previous evening from Vauxhall Gardens, with fireworks attached to the car of the Royal Albert Bali oon. The following narrative of their aerial trip has been furnished by Mr. Coxwell to the lessee of the gardens:— " A short time before the hour of departure arrived the wind, which was moderate, shifted several points ' and it was with some little difficulty that the precise course which the balloon was likely to take could be accurately ascertained. At length, by the aid of a pilot, to which was attached a blue light, the neces sary important intormation was obtained, and, all other preparations having been completed, the Water loo-ground was illuminated, when we slipped cable,' and mounted with an ascending power admirably adapted for a clear and majestic sweep over the /were de resistance of Vauxhall. The firework frame was immediately hoisted well up to ignite the fuzee, and lowered smartly to a distance of about fifty feet below the car. On attaining an altitude of 3,000 feet, the view London with the glare of the lamps in its streets and squares, and on the bridges, was most enchanting. Floating onwards at an elevation of about a mile and a half, we gradually left the lights of Peckham and Cam • berwell in the distance, and passing over Forest-hill and that line of country, we relieved the balloon by means of the valves, and rapidly approached terra firma, hovering over several corn fields, till at length a favourable site came in view, when the monster machine was steadily brought to an anchor in a ploughed field near Bromley. An hour and a half elapsed before any assistance was rendered us, notwithstanding our cries for " Help." " Balloon," &c.; and it was only on igniting Darby's signal and Bengal lights, and coloured fires, that assis tance was obtained, and then only the villagers mustered, supposing that the fields and meadows were on fire. The voyagers, hungry and tired, but delighted with their nocturnal trip, returned to the gardens. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. GoolYx oi )1) RACES.

DREADFUL ACCIDENT ON THE DUNDEE AND PER'T'H RAILWAY. The town has been thrown into a state of painful ex citement, in consequence of intelligence received about three o'clock this afternoon, that a serious accident had occurred on the Dundee and Perth railway, to the train that left Perth at half- past ten o'clockt his morning. The following particulars have been. earned from a Glasgow gentleman who was in one of the second class carriages, and who fortunately escaped with a few slight contusions upon one of his legs. As the train was pro ceeding at what was considered about its usual speed, and when taking a sharp curve upon the line, before coming to Kingoodie Quarry, near Invergowrie, the engine ran off the rails into a field of beans on the side of the railway, dragging the whole of the carriages after it. The trAo consisted of a luggage-van next the engine, two third-class carriages, one first-class, two second class, and another third-class. This was the order in which they stood in the train, and the whole of the ca sualties have been confined to the two third class carriages which were behind the luggage-van. These two carriages have been smashed to pieces. Their fragments were heaped in a mass above the luggage vin; and, considering the number of passengers in them, which could not be less than from forty to fifty, it is a wonder that more damage has not been d o ne. Only one life has yet been lost, but it is feared that another person, at least, is in such a state that his recovery is very doubtful. The man who was killed was in a carriage open at the top, and it is not yet properly ascertained whether his death was caused by injuries re ceived from the broken wood of the carriage, or by con cussion of the brain from his having been thrown to some distance, and then falling upon his head. He was only seen to move his band to his head after falling. His name is not known, but he had upon him a watch and St or 9L The person who has suffered most is Mr. Scobie, cabinet-maker, Stanly. Hts injuries are of such a nature that he cannot be removed, and is at present lying in a house near the place where the accident hap pened. Mr. NM-Mahan, of the firm of M'Lachlan and Stewart, booksellers, Edinburgh, had one of his legs broken, and, at his own request, was brought up to Perth, and carded to the infirmary. Another man had his collar-bone broken, and a great many more have re ceived contusions to a greater or less extent. It is rather remarkable that no individual in any of the other carriages received any injury, with the excep tion of the concussion which, in such an accident, almost all must sustain. Sheriff Barclay and his family were in the first-class carriage immediately behind the two that were smashed, but none of them were hurt, and the ex ertions of the Sheriff in rescuing the sufferers from the ruins of the two carriages, are described as being beyond all praise. Soon after the accident an engine, that was taking some empty waggons along the line, was dis patched to Dundee, and speedily returned with a sur geon, who attended to the disabled in the best way he could. They were quickly forwarded to Dundee, with the two exceptions stated above. It would be wrong, perhaps, at present, to hazard a decided opinion as to the cause of this deplorable oc currence, which will likely be investigated without delay by competent individuals ; but it may be stated, that an impression prevails that one of the rails had been dis placed from its seat upon the chain, by the pressure of the wheel of the engine in taking the curve, and that the engine was thus thrown off the rail. The rail must be rendered useless for a day or two, until the proposed repairs have been made upon it, and the traffic, for a portion of the railway, must, in the meantime, be carried .et upon the single line of rails, to which the trains can be turned off and on by means of switches. The gentleman killed is stated to be a native of Ar broath, and has a farm near Newcastle. PENNY RECEIPT STAMPS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—Sir Charles Wood's reply to the proposal to have a uniform receipt stamp of one penny-, " that he will give the subject his best consideration, but he fears the state of the exchequer will not admit of it," is tole rably conclusive that Ministers do not intend to make Ireland pay the income-tax nor the assessed taxes, from which ehe is exempt at present. The silence of the Ministerial candidates on Irish affairs is also ominous. We sadly want an English O'Connell, who would agitate for justice for England. If the abominable window-tax had been extended to Ireland it would have been re pealed long ago. Should the English electors neglect to exercise the greatest discretion in selecting the Members of the ensuing Parliament, this country will have to give the Iri-h landlords the whole of the nine millions, for it is clear that the latter are dissatisfied with the gift of one-half. which I consider Ministers were not jugified in making. If the tax-payers of England and Scotland are to continue to be the slaves of the Irish landlords, the Chancellor of the Exchequer might place himself in a position to meet our wishes in regard to the penny recipt stamp by lessening the differential duties on Bri tish and foreign spirits, which are a loss to the revenue of between nine and ten millions annually. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, AN ENGLISH ELECTOR. THE MURDEROUS ATTACK ON A LETTER CAR- RlER.—Bradley, the letter-carrier, who was so inhu manly attacked in Mitre-court, Wood-street, is not likely to recover his reasoning faculties from the effects of the blow he received upon his head. He was led down to the Post-office on Saturday, and had an inter view with Mr. Peacock, the solicitor, when he appeared to be labouring under complete unconsciousness. The opinion of the Post-office authorities is, that a discarded Bank clef K. or Post-office clerk, was privy to the evi dently preconcerted attack upon Bradley, from the fact that no other person could have known the contents of the bag Bradley carried. The key with which the highwaymen locked the gate consists of the rusty pipe of an old street-door key, to which is soldered a skeleton end, quite new, and seemingly made expressly for the lock. Inspector Shackell, Serjeant Brennan, and a number of the detective torce, have been throughout the week in pursuit of three men, whose description they have received, but they have hitherto eluded detection. Up to Saturday the police had got no clue as to where the life• preserver was purchased or the key made. Neither of the instruments bear any distinctive marks. SAYINGS' BANKS.—According to a House of Com mons' paper just printed, it is stated that the number of individual depositors, charitable institutions, and friendly Societies, depositing their funds in savings' bank was, on the 20th November last, 1,108,025. The individual depositors were 1,085,383; and there were 12,168 charitable institutions, and 10,474 friendly so cieties. The amount of deposits (including interest) was altogether 31,743,2501. The total amount received from and of interest credited to the trustees of savings' banks and of friendly societies, including interest (from 1817 to May, 1847) has been 55,475,731/. The amount (with interest) paid to the trustees has been 22,132,5901. The amount of money (with interest) due to the trus tees by the Commissioners of the National Debt was 33,343,1411. The value of the securities held by the above-mentioned Commissioners in May last, at the prices of the day, to provide the amount due by the Commissioners on 20th of that month, for principal and interest, was 28,887,9781. RAILWAY ACCIDENT.--MIRACULOUS ESCAPE: On Tuesday afternoon last an accident occurred to one of the Manchester and Leeds trains, which might have been attended with frightful loss of life. The 4h. 20m. train from Leeds left that station at the usual time, with about 40 passengers, and had proceeded as far as where the line crosses the Doncaster road, about three miles from Leeds, when a cloud of dust and th e shaking of the carriages, with a sudden application o f the break ,gave until intimation to the passengers that a ll was not right, butwas their real danger was not kn own unt he train .topped. On getting out of t he trainikntewta s found utt hthreaet the first axle of the eng ine had broken inches from the showder, and that five ofh hurt. wh T e h e e ls off the rails.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUH. JULY 24.—The Spiteful steamer, Coin-. wander Sir'quo 11.,5te, , arrived on Monday after noon train the East India station. Sher left Trincomalee on the 3d of April, and Point de Galle two days a!ter- Wards, arriving at the Cape on the 13 , h of May, and, taking sixteen days tat repair her boilers, (pilaf d on the 29th of oar month, leavtig the President, 50, Iris, 26, and Rosamond steamer, at anchor there. In consequence of the injuries received by the Dragon to her engines, the piston being broken, &c., and the delay which will take place in repairing them, a tele graphic message was sent here on Thursday evening for the Centaur to be got ready to receive Captain Hall, and theofficers and crew of the Dragon, and they are on their passage from Woolwich. The Centaur is to be attached to Sir Charles Napier's squadron. The Blenheim, srew steam guard-ship, is to be tried with the squadron. The squadron under the command of Rear Admiral Sir Charles Napier will, it is understood, proceed to sea on Tuesday or Wednesday next. They first go to Cork, then to Cape Finisterre, and will afterwards touch at Lisbon and Gibraltar. The, Caledonia, 120, Captain M. Dixon, came this morning into harbour, in order to be dock d, and have her copper cleaned. Why it is that this ship has been suffered to neglect the past winter and spring for this ~ p eratiun we know not ; but as all the service knew she was to be exercised in the summer, it is matter of great complaint that she should now delay her sailing with the squadron fur at least a fortnight. The ship has been cleared of her heavy ordnance, water, ballast, and wcighty stores, to render her capable of coming into har bour, and safe to be put on the blocks. The Trincomalee, 26, was commissioned at this port on Thursday, by Captain R. L. Warren, son of Vice-Admi• ral Warren. She is a sister ship to the Amphitrite. and will have the same armament, and a crew of 240 officers and men. The Admiralty have ordered 80 boys to be discharged from the Victory. A Board of Admiralty, consisting of the Earl of Auckland, Rear-Admiral Dundas, Mr. Ward, Secretary. and having, as a visitor, Vice Admiral Sir Charles Adam, arrived from London, by rail, at the Clarence-yard, at half-past six o'clock last evening, and reviewed the bat talion there ; then visited the Spiteful, and thence to the Dock-yard, and reviewed the battalion. The Board dined with the Commander-in-Chic-f, at the Admiralty House, and this morning proceeded to the Clarence yard, to receive her Majesty and Prince Albert, at half past eleven o'clock, on their return from London. The Board afterwards went to Spithead, in the Ondine steam yacht, to inspect the squadron; and at half. past three were entertained by Sir Charles Napier at a dljeuner la fourchette, on board the St. Vincent. Their Lord ships re , urned to the harbour about five o'clock, and left by train for London. Another alteration has been made by the Admiralty, dated the 24 of July, 1847, in the " complements of sea going ships." The following are the principal changes made:—First rates, of the first class, to have 1,000 men, instead of 950; first rates, of the second class, to have 950 men, instead of 920. There are to he four classes of second -rates, to have respectively 850, 820, 750, and 720 men; the crews of third-rates to remain as before. Che second class of fourth rates to have 450 men, instead of 430. Fifth-rates to be in four classes, instead of Lhree, and to have respectively 350, 339, 320, and 310 men. Four classes of steam vessels are made fifth-rates, and are to bear 300, 270, 250, and 200 men each. Sixth rate sailing-vessels are to remain as before, but four classes of steam-vessels have been made sixth-rates, and are to bear 240, 230, 195, and 175 men. The sloops are reduced to three classes of sailing vessels, and will have 145, 130, and $0 men; and five classes of steam-vessels have been added, respectively to carry 160, 140, 135, 120. and 100 men.

Alcan and M. Rene were indicted before the tribunal at Paris for having, without having been duly authorised to do so, printed and published an engraving, accompanied by letter-press text, giving an account of " 'l'he apparition of the Holy Virgin to two Children on a Mountain of Salette, on Saturday, September 19. 1846 " The account sets forth how two children, employed in watching cows in the mountains, beheld a vision of the Holy Virgin, who sat weeping on a rock. She called and spoke to them, making sundry complaints of the irregular manner in which masses had been said to her, and if matters were not mended, threatened a continuance, with increased severity, of the potato disease, which she said was owing to the carelessne,s and inattentio❑ shown to the rites of religion, which were left to the care of old men, while the young ones amused themselvfs and scoffed at its mysteries. It the potato disease did not suffice to turn them from the error of their ways, she threatened the world with an utter failure of the corn crops the following year ; if that did not do, with a complete famine the next year ; and if these man did not do, she would kill all children under ten years of age the following one. But if men turned to her with true repentance, corn and potatoes should flourish as they had never done before, and the world would prosper. She commanded the two children to relate to every one what had occurred. She walked talking with them for about half an hour, and the ob served that the grass did not bend beneath her feet; she then gradually faded away in mist till she was gone. They gave a very accurate account of her dress and ap pearance. Since then, a confirmatory account of the first statement had appeared, which further declared that a spring of water had sprung up where she sat, and that the rock had been endowed with certain mira culous properties. Some officers of the neighbouring garrison had experimented upon a piece of it at their quarters. On striking it with a knife, it burst open with a loud noise, displaying a head of Christ with a crown of thorns. The deposition of the two children was taken down in the presence of five ecclesiastic*, and a number of laymen, and had made a great impression in the neighbourhood where the vision occurred. Judg ment on the printer and publisher has been postponed. —Gazette des Tribunaux.

Very greatex bourhoud of Hyde, in consequence of the death of a Nirl named nay Dior, at the Kingston M;ll, belonging 4.0 J. Sidebuihaw, Esq. The facts of the case will be best under,iuu, irom the evidence as given at the inqUest on . Monday. J. istirdsley said—l am an overlooker in the card room, at Kingston still, Hyde, in the employ of Mr. J. Stdebotham. The deceased Mary Ellor, was a " breaker off" of the engine cans in the card-room. She was 13 years of age. I was not present at the time she was killed, but I helped to take her down from the shaft. She was then quite dead. It was about seven o'clock on Friday morning last. The carding engine is turned by means of a strap passing over the pulleys fixed to an horizontal shaft at the top of the room. There -is a loose pulley fixed to the carding engine ; and when the carder or stripper wants to put the engine out of gear, the strap is put round the loose When the carder is grinding the engine is turned the other way, and the strap has to be taken off the engine entirely. When I first saw the deceased, she was hanging down from the shaft, the strap being unier her chin. The other part of the strap was wrapped close round the shaft and the drum or pulley. The strap was drawn quite tight under her chin. I got her down by cutting the strap. The deceased had only worked about five weeks. Wm. Bottomley was the stripper to that engine. It was his duty to manage the strap. He was there when deceased was taken down. This forenoon I asked him how it happened. He said that he was pulling the strap off, when it caught her told d er the chin, and pulled her up. This was all he me. It was very dangerous to p lay an trick with the strap while the s , hiatt was revolving. William Turner —I am in ms e v en t ee nth a stripper at Air. Sidebotnain'lirtill. . I am It engine as Bottomley. Aboutw seven at o t e h l t e s ' k:on e Friday morning I was engaged stripping out ; that is, taking the cotton off the car d s. Bottowley Andearl tied the machine that we strip wit h f rom one engine to the other. 1 was setting that engine on that we had left, and he went to stop the other. I saw him pull the strap off the loose pulley on the carding engine, and .the strap then hung down from the shaft. Bottomley laid hold of the strap as it hung down with both hands, and pitched it over the neck of the deceased. The deceased stood between the engines, and about a yard from where the strap hung down. Bottomley said something to her at the time he threw the strap round her neck, and she said something in reply, but I could hear what it was. I turned round and saw them laughing. I then turned to mind my work. In half a minute, or less, I looked round again, and saw the • decea,ed going up towards the shaft with the strap fast round her neck. Bottomley was endeavouring to pull her down. I ran towards him to help, but the shaft took her round before I got there. He tried all he could to get her down; he stood upon the engine, and I called to him to get down, or he would be taken round himself. He then let her go, and the shaft took her round until it was out of gear. The deceased had been taken round about five times. I stood there till she was cut down, which was immediately afterwards. The whole only occupied a few minutes. Tne jury returned a verdict of Manslaughter against William Bottomley, and he was committed for trial. Leeds Mercury THE WEATHER-THE CROPS. The week has been very sultry ; no rain has visited this city, with the exception of two or three copious showers early on Thursday morning. There have, how ever, been heavy storms in various parts of the country and we regret to learn that in many places the wheat, which is very heavy in ear, has been much lodged. We understand that reaping will commence in several of the forward situations in the course of next week. We are happy to find that the cereals have escaped the blight fly. The vistiation of these aphides greatly exceeds any thing of the same character that we remember. Clouds of these flies are seen in the atmosphere, and cover the wayfarers; while vegetation presents a picture of filth from the visitation which would be incredible it not wit nessed. The hops, the beaus, and the peas partially, have been destroyed by this all-de ouring insect, which in the garden flowers and vegetables are alike and almost indiscriminately covered by them; the potato is an ex ception, the finial, we rejoice to say, being free, and Welling healthy and vigorous. The hay harvest is drawing to a ciose ; and we may now confidently state that generally the crop is 25 per cent. lighter than it was last year.—Hereford Times. Wheat on strong:soils maintains the splendid appearance presented from its first " brftirding," but on tree land is not over promising, in consequence of the loss of roots sustained at an early period by frosts and strong winds. In some few instances it is tainted with the " slack," but to no very great extent. Oats have shot beautifully, and on land in good heart look remarkably well ; but on poor " old foughten" soils are short. and rather sickly in colour, besides having suffered from the grub and bullfoot. Beans are looking splendid, having podded well, with great strength of stem, and should the har vest be favourable the produce must be heavy. Turnips which were sown and planted early have done well, and looky bloomy ; but those got in at a later period are nothing to boast of. Potatoes, about which millions are so very anxious, generally speaking, are full of health in the stems ; but it cannot be concealed that symptoms of the rut have, in some instances, most decidedly ap peared. The great bulk of hay will, at the end of the present week, have been housed in prime condition. With respect to the quality of this crop opinion varies very much, but up"' the whole perhaps a Lull average may be quoted. That portion of the fruit crop which is adapted for wintur consumption is a decided failure.— Preston Chronic e. The crops throughout the northern districts of Cumberland are very promising. Seldom or never do ee recollect of seeing at this season crops so luxuriant. Potatoes are generail3 filling the spaces between the drills, and we hear of no failure among them. They are, as formerly, in common use in most of the fami lies in this locality. Turnips are healthy and are rapidly filling up the vacant spaces. Some ex cell-et fields of turnips are in this neighbourhood. Wheat, oats, and barley are progressing luxuriantly. We noticed a field of barley near Workington changing its colour and ululating another hue, the ears being plump and heavy. Ten or twelve days of bright sun shine will effect great changes on such a field, and we are happy to add, that there are others here not greatly insuri , ,r in forwardness to that which we speak of. Wheat luxuriates in sunshine, and in all cases this crop is promising. Oats also are healthy, and promise an abundant return. The pastures being good, sheep and cattle are in a thriving s%ate, which will soon effect the .upply, with respect to quality at least. A correspon dent at Plutubland says :—" The weather is truly di ligh,tul here at present.; a little too dry, perhaps, for clayey or sandy pastures. and late sown turnips. Barley is beginning to Liege. Wheat is a splendid crop, where anything like sufficient roots remained over winter. Not a puff of wind has disturbed the bloom, and it is now ont of danger of the mildew. Oats on genial soils are strong and brancliy, and promise well to the ' yield. Many farmers hug the idea of a bushel to the thrieve. Flay is nearly all got, as the tempting weather in duced early cutting. The quantity is a full average, and the quality far exceeds any_ precedent these many years. Hay sales have been unusually low in this district. The potato„ the - poor mat.'s friend, : as yet smiles in health. and let us hope that his strong and stiff set haulm will baffle the efforts of blight.
