DUE OF THE MANCHESTER CHARTER —The Judges sat in the Court of Exchequer Chamber t; Monday last, to give judgment in the case of the rival coroners of Manchester, Messrs. Rutter and Chapman. The majority of the judges, namely, Lord Chief Justice Tindal, and Judges Bosanquet, Pattison, and Coltman, gave judgment in favour of the charter, whilst Lord Denman and Mr. Justice Williams gave their opinion , against it. Mr. Justice Cole ridge thought that, although the charter was valid, yet the charge of the judge at nisi pries was erroneous, as to the manner in which he had left to the jury the question relative to the sufficiency of the petition upon which the charter was gi anted, and, therefore, there should be a venire de novo. :le majority of the judges being in favour of the charter, its va lidity was of course established.

ACCIDENT AND LOSS OF LI en of tesday, the 10th instant, a very melancholy accident occurred a this quarter, which has deeply affected all the inhabitants. Upon that da ir. John AVEai Crieff, and a boy of his, about eleven years of age, went to fish upon the river Earn, west of Strowan. It would appear that the boy had gone to slide upon a small pond near by the Earn, which was partly frozen at the time, had fallen into the water and was drowned. No person being present when the accident took place, it is supposed that the boy's father, seeing him in the act of drowning, had attempted to save him, and when doing so the ice had broken and he was carried by the water in below the ice, when he also was drowned. Both bodies were found, and conveyed home on the afternoon of the same day. M`Laren was a quiet inoffensive man, and he has left a widow and three children to mourn over the sad event.—Perth Courier. RAILWAY TRIP EXTRAORDINARY.—A. few days ago the workmen employed at the engine manufactory belonging to the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway Company, at the a station, perceived a waggon laden with quarry -oming down the incline at such a frightful rate that ey had hardly time to consider what' they had better do sromsgrove under the circumstanc rate of nearly 100 mi before it dashed p'astihei;l;itiie per hour. They would probably its wild ca eer, for fear diat'they not have time to clear the line before the Birmingham as nearly due) arrived, and which might have most dreadful consequences. Fortunately the waggon was seen by some parties on the line, about three miles beyond Brornsgrove ; and they hastily procured a num ber of scotches (thick pieces of wood), and laid them, at short distances, upon the rails. The last scotch had scarcely been laid before the vehicle was upon the first; and so little was its speed checked by the obstruction, that it seemed as if it would pass them all. However, after running over several, it at length stopped without overturning, and without caus ing the slightest accident. It seems that the waggon was standing just above the top of the incline, and that either a carriage or engine slightly t ouc h e d it, when, having passed the level, it dashed off' at the rate we have described. We trust that this occurrence will act as a caution to contractors not to leave waggons in such situations in future ; for had this occurrence happened in the night, it is impossible to say what damage might have ensued.— Worcester Chronicle. termined to let it purse train (which w led ATTEMPT AT ASSASSINATION . -T he Limerick Standard gives the following details of an atrocious attempt to assas sinate a young gentleman returning to his home on the even ing of last Sunday :•—•`.' As Mr. Anselm E. Taylor, jun., of Woodcliffe, in this county, was re t urn i ng h ome from Kil dirno, about half-past eight o'clock on Sunday evening last, he was fired at by some cowardly ruffian, but fortunately without effect, from inside the wall of the mail-coach line of road, about one or two miles west of Askeaton ; bis horse shied at the flash, and went off in a gallop. On arriving at the Robertstown police station he called on that active officer, Constable Gubbins, who at once dispatched an escort with Mr. Taylor to his residence. On the following morning search was made, and the ball was found in the cushion of the jaunting-car. Fortunately Mr. Taylor was sitting on the opposite side whence the shot came, and the foot-board of the car was turned up on the other through which the ball first entered, and then lodged in the hair of the cushion- So premeditated was the aim, that but for these circumstances he would most certainly have been shot. The only reason which can be assigned for this daring attempt on his life is, that Mr. Taylor stopped for. a short time that day at the house of Mr. Sheehy (who was lately attacked), and thence proceeded homeward, and it might be that he was mistaken for some of the functionaries who were expected to attend an investigation about to be held there into that outrage. - - - A MAN CHOKED WITH A PIECE OF BEEF.—An inquest was held before Mr. Chapman, the borough coroner, on Tuesday week, on the body of James Knott, a jobber in a factory, lately living in Spittal-street, who came to his death under the following rather extraordinary circumstances : Ann Knott, the deceased's wife, stated that, on Sunday even ing, the deceased was eating some boiled beef and bread for supper, when he suddenly lifted up both his hands, and ap peared to be choking. He rose up, and went towards the door, followed by two of her sons, who hit him on the back to enable him to recover himself. Her son Robert fetched a doctor, and witness fainted away, and when she came to her senses again, two surgeons were standing over the de ceased, who, they said, was dead.—James Knott, son of the deceased, stated, that he went for a surgeon, and on his re turn found that Mr. Walker, who had been sent for by ano ther person, was in'the house. He pulled a piece of beef out of the deceased's throat with an instrument, and said he was dead ; but, if he had been there a little earlier, he might have saved him. The meat was about an inch square, and seemed to be too large for any one to swallow. Witness and his brother had been joking with the deceased, and he had a hearty fit of laughter while the meat was in his mouth. The jury returned a verdict that the deceased was accidentally choked. The deceased was 56 years of age, and has left a wife and seven children. FIRE IN PRESTON CHURCH, NEAR BRIGHTON.-011 Sunday afternoon the little village of Preston, which is on the London road, within a short ride of Brighton, was thrown into a state of considerable alarm in consequence of a fire at the church, which took place during the performance of Di- vine service. Tile first discovery of the fire was made by a young man, who was accidently passing along the road, and perceived a quantity of smoke issuing from the roof, with a strong smell of burning wood, and almost immediately after some flames issued forth. He immediately entered the church, where the rev. gentleman who was officiating, was proceeding with the service. Fearful of the consequences of alarming the congregation and occasioning a sudden ru he made his way to the clerk and communicated the f which was made known to the clergvr woo was pro ceeding to inform the congregation, entreating them not to be needlessly alarmed and increase the danger, when the cry of " the church is on fire !" was raised en the outside, and the alarm instantaneously became general, each person endeavouring to get out as speedily as possible. During the few minutes which had transpired from the time of the dis covery, a great number of persons congregated on the spot, amongst whom were many of the railway labourers, who, im mediately they perceived the nature of the danger, ran to the works which are close by and procured ladders, axes, &c., and speedily got on to the roo f, un d er which it was ascer tained the fire was raging, and which burst forth with great fury when they had succeeded in pulling off some of the tiling. They then quickly organised themselves, and having procured buckets, conveyed water from the various wells and ponds ad icent, pouring it on the burning rafters, and keeping the mes in check. Messengers, main ly wh hy o hadthe ebxeeerntideeesspeaftcthheediato -hton, speedily returned with th e eng i nes, when the who were indefatigable. On examining the interior of the building after the alarm had in some de gree subsided, it appeared most probable that the fire had originated in the bursting of the flue of the stove by which the church is warmed, and which goes up through the ceiling and the roof, which is formed of arched timber, and must, to have got so strong a hold of the massive beams, been burn ing for some considerable time before the fire was discoverd. ANECDOTE OF THE LATE SIR ASTLEY COOPER. —Just before Sir Astley was seized with his last illness, a wealthy City merchant, who resided in the neighbourhood of. Engle field-green, near Windsor, and lately retired from business, called upon him in Conduit-street to consult with him upon the state of his health. It happened that the patient was highfo nd living n t h g e t g o o a o d g t re h a i n t g e s x o c f es t s h . is w T o h r i l s d I b v u as t that o h n e l y i n e d x u t l r g e e m d e in y soon discovered by Sir Astley, who thus addressed Mr. " You are a merchant, sir, and therefore must possess an r w t s o f t that i 7 s t t e an ns c iv e e in kn w ow h l i e c d h ge th o e f i t m ra p d o e ris bu ex t c d e i e d d y e o d u t e h v e er ex kn po o there was not a glut in the market? That's the case with you, sir ; take more physic and eat less." The gentleman took the hint; and be has since declared that Sir Astley's knowledge of the " first principles of commerce" and the mode of giving his advice, r endering it " clear to the meanest capacity," has not only enabled him to enjoy good health ever since, b u t h as pro b a bly prolonged his life for many roes were extinguished rs and A. very distre ~ HORRID ATTEMPT TO POISON.—A few days ago an at tempt was made to poison the family of the Rev. Joseph Webster, residing at Merriman's Hill, near Worcester. On Friday last, he and Mrs. Webster, their childien, and ser vants, after partaking of some soup, were all seized with vio lent retching and excruciating pain. Medical aid was imme diately called, and the s►tomach pump employed with com plete success. The remainder of the soup was instantly analysed, and the presence of arsenic detected. The report is that the wate:: of a well on the premises has been found to be highly impregnated with poison. No clue has yet been obtained respecting the perpetrator of this diabolical offence. A short time since Mr. Webster lost two valuable dogs which had unquestionably been poisoned. The whole of Mr. W.'s family are recovering. STEALING CHILDREN.--CAUTION TO PARENTS.--On Thursday week, while a servant girl in the employment of Mr. Abbott, Chester-street, Hulme, was walking out in Ann-street, Hulme, with his child, about nine months old, in her arms, she was accosted by a smart, well-dressed young woman, apparently from 26 to 30 years of age, who fondled. the child, and sail she would buy it a pennyworth of lozenges, and she would take hold of the child until the girl fetched them. ' The girl then gave her the child, and went for the lozenges ; but on her return the woman and the child were gone, and, though its distressed parents have used every ex ertion to recover it, it has not since been heard of. A child of Mr. Corbett's, of Stanley-street, Hulme, and which was about twelve month's old, was stolen in a similar manner the same day, and probab!y by the same'woman, as the des cription given of her by the girl in this case exactly agrees with that given in the other.—Manchester Guardian BARBAROUS MURDER.—On Tuesday evening last, King, a carrier between Barnstaple and Okehampton, put a female down at the place called Five Oaks, between Okehampton and Hatherl2igh, handing her a bundle and bandbox from the cart. She got over a stile to proceed across some fields to her home, and King went on his journey ; he had not gone far before he heard cries of murder, and returning to the spot where he left his passenger, met a man coming over the stile with a box and bundle, of the description of those he had delivered to the woman. He asked the man where he got the articles, and received for a reply, `• What odds is it to you," upon this he seized the man by the collar, charging him with robbery, when he received a cut across the fingers from a large knife. A scuffle ensued, when King threw the other man, and broke his leg. He subsequently found the unfortunate woman two fields off, , with her head nearly severed from her body. The murderer was handed over to the proper __.7 ~- .... • -On Monday night, between 12 and 1 o'clock, the following alarming occurrence took place at the residence of Mr. Charles Hammersley, 25, Park-cres cent, Regent's-park. At the period in question, Mr. Ham mersley, who was in bed, was awakened by a loud noise, re sembling the firing of a large piece of ordnance, and, putting on his clothes, he hastened below, when he met at the bot tom of the stairs the butler, who was trembling with fright, and both of them proceeded into the area, on entering which they found that five large panes of glass in the pantry, and one in the housekeeper's room, were shattered to pieces. There was a strong sulphuric smell, and, on making a fur ther examination, it was discovered that some of the area steps were, dislodged from their proper position. In the morning, about nine o'clock, information of the mysterious circumstance was communicated at the station-house in Marylebone-lane, and Inspector Tedman, of the D division, at once repaired to the mansion, when he carefully examined the steps, and at length found upon one of them a small por tion of what he imagined to be rosin. He repaired with it to' the Polytechnic Institution, and exhibited it to Mr. Thompson, who, upon hearing the whole of the circum stances, gave it as his decided opinion that the explosion was from a maroon, which had been thrown down'the area, and that a fusee being attached to it, the mischievous author of the " joke" had had plenty of time to get away previous to the explosion taking place. The rosin found by the inspector had dropped from the case, and it was no uncommon thing for maroons. after being fired, to leave no vestige of paper or anything else appertaining to them behind. It subsequently turned out that the kitchen-maid had, in the early part of the morning, swept a quantity of rosin off the steps. It is wor thy of remark, that about a fortnight ago a similar dangerous and mischievous prank was played off in the vicinity of Brentford. ATROCIOUS LIVERPOOL PRICES CURRENT. ASHES ,MADDER, 19. cwt.

The experiment was made here lately, and proved satisfactory.— Perth Courier. COURT OF CHANCUE.Y.—It is believed that in order to prevent the entire stoppage of the public business, the great seal will be immediately put into commission during the ill ness of the Lord Chancellor, and that three of the judges will be appointed commissioners. —.Lug accident occurred at Inverary, on Satur d& . Anderson, a highly-esteemed and venerable prac titioner, in that town, had occasion to be on the quay, and had been for sometime conversing with several of the inha bitants, when he was suddenly missed. It appeared that a strong gust of wind had blown him off the quay, and his cloak had got iound him so firmly as to prevent his making any attempt to save himself. Dr. Anderson was 89; and had practised for 45 years in Inverary.—Greenock Adver tiser. The Rev. Joseph Rayner Stephens was liberated on Mon day, the Ist of February, from Chester Castle. This libera tion took place eight days earlier than the term of his sen tence, but, in consequence of the death of his father, the Rev. John Stephens, Lord Normanby kindly consented to the remission of the few days, to enable him to attend the, last sad duties to the deceased. We learn that Mr. Stephens will return to Chester, and remain there during the summer. Wine TAXES.—The new " peace taxes" of the reformed ministry have created a soreness in the country which all the flummery of whig cant cannot appease. The critical eyes of the window-peepers have been prompt in the aid of the whig impoverished exchequer; and in one case, which came before the commissioners on Tuesday, it appears that a tenant (in one corner of a large warehouse), payi ng £4 ren t, an d h av i ng no internal communication with the other po r ti on , h a d to pay £8 taxes for all the windows in the place.—Halifax Guardian. MR. DANIEL WHITTLE HARVEY.--It was currently re ported in the city on Saturday, and from the best authority, that there is no doubt of the fact that Daniel Whittle Harvey has intimated to the Police Committee his intention of re tiring from the office of City Commissioner of Police. The reason assigned for this proceeding on the late member for Southwark is the opposition he meets with in the Courts of Aldermen and Common Council, he having often declared that the city police can never be rendered effective till it is placed under the superintendence of the Home-office. It is fur ther stated, that the commissioner has an eye to the Chief Bailiffship of the borough of Southwark, which is worth X 2,000 per annum, and does not preclude its possessor from a seat in the House of Commons.—Sunday paper.

Speculators have taken of this quantity near 5,000 bales. The trade purchase sparingly, last week's prices are not fully supported, ,and Cotton is offered much more plentifully. LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, FEB. 25 Already has the country began to feel the vegetative influence of the genial weather we now enjoy, and already have its effects been apparent in our Butter market, by a reduction in price of 3s to 45 per cwt. We think there would be much difficulty in moving any quantity even of the finest description of Butter at loss. The low qualities are unsaleabie. Prime Beef and Pork in fair request. Other kinds not asked for. Bacon goes off with a little more freedom, 50s being the currency. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, FEBRUARY 23. • (From the Circular of Messrs. James Scott .5- Son.) Since Tuesday last the winds have admitted arrivals from the Southward to a fair extent, of Grain, Flour and Oatmeal, from Ireland and Coastways, and of Flour from the United States, as will he observed by the Import note below ; the demand hAs been very steady here to a moderate extent for Wheat at an advance of about 2d per 701 b, and for Flour at fully our last quotations; Oats and Oatmeal find sales readily as they arrive at the highest prices last quoted, and for fine mealing qualities in some instances at an increase of Id per 451 b for the foriner, and of 6d per 2401 b for the latter ; Malt, Barley for malting and grinding, Beans, Pease and Indian Cern, have fully supported their recent quotations, here and in Manchester on Saturday last. There was no alteration in the duties of Grain from Foreign ports on Friday last ; a very active demand has occurred for Flour in bond on speculation, and some for export, thus many thousand barrels have changed hands during the past week, at first at 24s 6d, then at 25s per barrel in bond in warehouses, and latterly some parcels on the passage have been sold at 25s 6d, and some for ex port at 265, which is now steadily demanded, and some holders and importers are unwilling to offer for sale at present, Wheat in bond is also in more demand at about prices quoted. The advance on Wheat in the London Market of the past week has had its influence here, and although this was not quite to the extent anticipated yesterday in Mark Lane, at this Day's Market a further advance was demanded, but submitted to by the millers and dealers only to a very moderate extent of about 3d per 701 b on Wheat, (and some very fine white Danzic reached us per 701b0 Id per 451 d on Oats, Is per barrel, and per sack on Flour, is per 2401 b on Oatmeal, above the prices of this day week; of all other Grain the prices last quoted were fully supported.
