Southern' CORNW ALL. Part 5, being the concluding portion of Cornwall, is now published. It describes, almost exclusively, the principai mines in that remarkable western county, and the manner of working them, and on these points it is itself a perfect mine of information. The few, but well-adapted, tools used by the miner are here detailed, with wood-cuts of the ladders used in ascending and descending, shafts, the engine-pumps, kibbles, entrances to the seve ral levels, the adits, &c., &c. The following short extract ;—also, " The employment of the miner is very liable to accident ; he has not only to descend to his labour, and to ascend after it is over, every eight hours, but he has in many cases to traverse levels at a great depth below the surface before he reaches his place of work ; and so deep are the mines, that it frequently costs an hour to reach the surface after his labour is done. Few have an idea of the magnitude of a Cornish mine of the more extensive kind ; but some notion may be formed of the vastness of the workings, when we stlite that those of the Consolidated Mines alone extend 63 miles under ground, or 55,000 fathoms. The ascent and de scent are by ladders, which were formerly perpendicular to the sides of the mine, and fifty feet long ; but as the mines have been worked deeper, the ladders have been shortened to half that length, and placed as slopingly as possible, to ease the miner, whose weight is thus rendered more dependent upon his feet than it was before, and less upon his hands." The Cornish miners are, it appears, a superior class of la bourers, and are very different, morally and physically consi dered, from the degraded and unhealthy labourers in coal pits. He is even superior to the agricultural labourer, has fair wages and a co m f orta bl e cottage, an d emp l oys hi s l e isure hours in the cultivation of an acre or two of ground, or, if he live near the sea, in fishing. Many of the workings are of great extent, and some of them even under the ocean. At the Botailack mine, near the Land's End, the workings are upon the verge of a cliff overlooking the Atlantic, and are carried out 430 feet beyond low-water mark ; and in some places, not 1S feet between the workings and the sea, the heaving of which is distinctly heard by the miners. " The natura of the work of the Cornish miner," says our author, " fa:6ler estimated from the fact of the shafts alone of one mine being together twenty miles in depth beneath the surface, and some 1652 feet deep, or nearly five times the of St Paul's, from the cross to the ground. The from side to side of the county, measures ty miles, including its branches; and in some feet below the surface of the ground. The of this adit is five and a-half miles, and it ; sea above high-water mark at Restronget Tbis is tunnelling of some character, and evinces andantly the perseverance, ingenuity, and hazardous na .e of the:a undertakings, as well as the character of those .0 plan and carry them into effect." A pleasing account given of a descent of the author and some friends into one the larger mines.

HOW TO ASCERTAIN THE GROWTH OF CABBAGE. — James Boardman, a tailor, residing at Little Hulton, was summoned for refusing to give up a coat, the property of Richard Markland, a farmer. As soon as the case was an nounced the tailor stepped forth in " awful majesty" to make his statement, and the court was in consequence, somewhat puzzled to know who was the complainant. The mystery, however, was soon unravelled, and it appeared that the com plainant, who never parts with six pennyworth of copper without counting it, had taken a coat to be made by defend ant, and had made a bargain that 6s. 6d. should be the price of making. On the day appointed the coat was in readiness, and " the fit" was considered to be good ; but complainant had taken the precaution to weigh the cloth and trimmings before they were placed in defendant's possession, and on ar riving at his home, and re-weighing his cloth he found that he was a pound and a quarter deficient, amounting, as he said, to nearly a yard of cloth ! The coat was therefore taken back again and thrown down, with a feeling of indig nation, and the tailor has, according to his own account, re tained it to clear his own character. The defendant said it was a very " mysterious" affair ; that he never knew an in stance of cloth being weighed before the tailor had it, except on one occasion, previously, and exhibited what he called " tailors' fruits," but what are more significantly designated " cabbage," to make up the deficiency. The magistrates had no power to adjudicate upon it ; but they very ingeni ously advised complainant to " try the fit" of the coat, and the moment he had obtained possession of it, ordered him to keep it. The tailor wished to claim " the fruits" as his rights, but these also complainant got possession of, yet, notwithstanding all, was not a gainer, as, on the case being dismissed, he had to pay 3s. 6d. costs.—Bolton Chronicle. FIREPROOF MILL.—A factory has recently been erected in Duke-street, by R. F. Alexander and Co., of such a con struction as to secure it against the effects of fire. The premises of these gentlemen having been on more than one occasion nearly totally consumed by fire, they determined to be independent of a fire establishment, and resolved to erect a mill which, as far as art can go, should be fireproof. It is a building of 209 feet in length, by 35 in breadth, built of stone, and four stories high. The lower storey is built to the street, of droved ashler, and the next, which may be called the street fiat, the other being partially.sunk, is composed of rock or frosted work, with an archway at each end, more like the entrance to a baronial residence than the entrance to a thread mill. The upper flats are fronted in rather an unique style, being what is technically called " debbed ashler," a style of work almost unknown in this country. To be inde pendent of insurance offices and fire-engines, the joists are of cast iron, on which arches are to be raised to support a floor of a fireproof composition, and the roof is to be of the same material, the water flowing from the roof to be retained in a cistern to be used for the water closets. We have very seldom indeed seen a building which reflected greater credit on the builder than this ; and much as we have seen of the handi work of Mr. Thomas Binnie, we suspect this will eclipse all of them.—Glasgow Guardian. THE CREOLE NEGROES. — The New York Express con tains the following letter from New Providence, furnishing the intelligence that the negroes of the Creole had been for mally set at liberty :—" Nassau, New Providence, April 16, 1842.—A special session of the Admiralty Court convened this day to hear the charge of piracy against the 17 negroes imprisoned from the Creole. The Attorney-General made his motion for delay of trial, on the ground that it was im possible to obtain the necessary evidence here, and offered for the perusal of the Court a number of affidavits of the captain, mate, and crew and passengers of the Creole, show ing that sufficient evidence could be procured from the United States, if time was allowed. After an examination of the testimony offered, the Court replied, that were the captain, crew, and passengers, as set forth in the affidavits, here pre sent to testify in this case, they should consider them as not entitled to belief or credit, and should charge the jury to that effect ; and that no evidence could be procured to con vict the prisoners at the bar, for they were perfectly justified in the course pursued on board the Creole, and were now about to be set free. The Chief Justice then addressed the negroes something in this style :—` It has pleased God to set you free from the bonds of slavery ; may you hereafter live the lives of good and faithful subjects of her Majesty's go vernment.' They were then set at liberty by proclamation." RAILILOADS IN FaANcit.—The Chamber of Peers assem bled on Monday, in their committee-rooms, for the purpose of electing a committee to report on the railroad bill, brought up from the Chamber of Deputies. This bill contains—first, ' a general classification of the lines intended to be constructed ; second, a second system of execution which imposes on the departments traversed by those railroads the payment of two-thirds of the value of the ground to be purchased. It likewise enacts that the government shall pay the remaining third, together with the expense of embankment, the execu tions of works of art and stations, leaving the cost of fixing the rails and the materiel to the charge of the companies who shall undertake to complete them. 3 . Th e allocation of funds amounting together to the sum of 126,000,000 f., appli cable to the following sections : From Stratsburg to Hommartin Dijon to Chalons.... Marseilles to Avignon Orleans to Tours Orleans to Vierzon Paris to Lille.. For sundry expenses 11,500,000 11,000,000 30,000,000 17,000,000 12,000,000 43,000,000 1,500,000 126,000,000 The entire plan consists of seven vast lines of the first order, setting out from Paris, and leading-1. To the Belgian fron tier, through Lille and Valenciennes. 2. To England, by one or several points on the coast, to be hereafter determined. 3. To the German frontier, through Stratsburg. 4. To the Mediterranean, through Lyons, Marseilles, and Cette. 5. To the Spanish frontier, through Bordeaux and Bayonne. 6. To the Atlantic Ocean, by Nantes. 7. To the centre of France, through Vierzon, with a prolongation to be hereafter determined, with a branch to Bourges. And of two lines of the second order from frontier to frontier directed-1. From the Mediterranean to the Rhine, through Lyons, Dijon, and Melhouse. 2. From the Mediterranean to the Atlantic Ocean, through Bordeaux, Toulouse, and Cette. THE LATE ACCIDENT ON THE PARIS AND VERSAILLES RAILWAY.—The Saint Germaine and Versailles Company has taken fresh measures for adding to the precautions al ready observed in the service of the railroad. The number of locomotives hitherto in use has been forty-five with six wheels, and six with four. The council has decided on sup pressing the latter, until the doubt which has been raised as to their safety shall be cleared up. The company has written to Marshal Soult, requesting him to authorise the bead en gineer to enter into communication with the committee of artillery, "to examine, in unison with them, into the best means of adding, if possible, fresh improvements into the various objects used on the line, particularly the axletrees of locomotives." A new steam-whistle of a peculiar kind has been added to all the engines, to give information to the con ductors when to tighten the breaks in order to stop the trains, or diminish their speed. Goods and luggage, which hitherto were attached to the end of the train, are, for the future to be placed between the waggons and the tenders. Although the private regulations of the company, for fixing the rate of speed, may be considered as efficient, as 9,064,364 persons have been carried on the line, since its opening, with out any case of death or severe injury having occurred, yet, as a prudential measure, a diminution in the rate of going has been prescribed. The most watchful attention has been com manded for the breaks, and the maariel in general, and the strictest care has been ordered to be paid to keeping it in perfect condition. In the present state of excitement it may be well to observe that there have been conveyed on the Bel gian lines, from May, 1835, to December, 1841, 11,702,676 travellers, and that, out of this great number, only two per sons have perished in an actual railroad accident. The dis tance passed over in Belgium was, in 1840. 295,296 leagues, and in 1841, 362,157, making a total of 637,433 leagues. On the St. Germain and Versailles line the number, in 1840, was 126,746 leagues, and in 1841, 154,863, giving 282,609 leagues in all. This gives for the companies in the two countries a distance of nearly 1,000,000 of leagues for the two years, and a transport of passengers almost amounting to 21,000,000, since the opening of the lines. A VERY AWKWARD MISTAKE.—We find the following story in the Siecle :—" Early in the morning of the day fixed upon for the removal of the body of M. Humann from the ministry of finance to the church of the Madeleine, M. Gan nall, the embalmer, called and desired to see the minister. The valet de cbambre in attendance replied that it was much too early, but M. Gannal persisting, and adding that he had been sent for, and that the business on which he came would admit of no delay, was shown into a bed-room, the valet withdrawing as soon as M. Gannal entered. This gentleman a pproached the bed, and , having prepared his pa apratus, raised the sheet, and wa s on the p oint of applying his lancet to the carotid artery, for the purpose of injecting the pre serving liquid, when the minister, who was not the dead M. Humann, but the living M.

Gannal had rushed into the corridor, exclaiming, `The minister has come to life.' The affair is easily explained. M. Gannal bad been sent for m co m u i r s r tr ie . r to embalm the body of M.

A frightful accident occurred in this town on Saturday night. Miss M'Garaghan, Castle-street, being about to take her clothes out of a chest, on opening it with a candle in her hand, some part of her dress took fire. She immediately shrieked out, and ran down stairs, but before the fire was extinguished, she was so severely burnt that she died the next day.—Sligo Journal. Sir Edward Sugden has confirmed a judgment of Commis sioner Macan, in the case of Perrin, a bankrupt, to the effect that, notwithstanding a clause affecting the bankrupt law in the recent act for abolishing arrest on mesne process, judg ment creditors are not to have priority in bankruptcy cases, but must come in, pari passu, with ordinary creditors. — Dublin paper. FOUR AND SIX-WHEELED ENGINES.—A writer in a me tropolitan contemporary says, " there can be no doubt that had the engine to which the accident on the Versailes Rail way happened been a six-wheeled one, the 50 or 60 victims of railway policy would have been spared their lives, as the engine would in that case have run swouthly on without caus ing any fatal obstruction to the carriages, and there would have been ample tune to the engineers to stop the train." POOR-LAW SURGEONS.—The poor-law commissioners have issued new orders for the regulation of medical officers of unions : amongst the most important, it is the wish of the commissioners that the competition of the candidates for offi cers should turn upon their respective character and skill, and not at the sum at which they may be severally willing to undertake the office ; the guardians are required to fix the remuneration, to be approved by the commissioners previ ously to advertising for tenders. EFFECT OF THE NEW TARIFF AT EXETER.—A local pa per informs us that the first effect produced by the contem plated new tariff of government upon agricultural stock in this district has been upon asses ; and that these animals have already been purchased in Bideford Great Market, for 6s. each, while twelve months ago it appears they would have sold from 30s. to 40s. each. NEWCASTLE REPRESENTATIVE. —Pending the issuing of the writ, the conservatives have not thought proper to make any public avowal of their intentions and proceedings ; but it is generally understood, that, in the event of Mr. Miller de clining to become a candidate, Mr. John N.

POOR LAWS IN SCOTLAND.—We see from the Glasgow papers, that a public meeting of the inhabitants of that city, called by the Lord Provost, is to be held on an early day, to consider the propriety of memorializing her majesty's govern ment on the subject, and praying for such revision and adap tation of the poor-laws to the altered circumstances of Scot land as may seem necessary. THE SUNDERLAND MAGISTRATES.—HOSTILE MEET. ING.-A hostile meeting took place at Marsden, near South Shields, at Saturday at noon, between Mr. Richard Spoor, of Whitburn, one of the Sunderland borough magistrates, and Mr. Joseph John Wright, of Sunderland, solicitor. It is understood the point of difference arose out of Mr. Wright's allusions to Mr. Spoor, in a letter addressed by Mr. Wright to the Marquis of Londonderry, and which was read by that nobleman in the House of Lords on Monday evening last ; and the parties exchanged shots without effect, when the seconds interposed : an explanation took place, the parties shook hands, and left the ground with their friends. Mr. Spoor was attended by Mr. Crawford, son of the late M.P. for London, and Mr. Wright, by Dr. Millar. This occurrrence has caused a great sensation in Sunderland and the neighbourhood.—Times. STEALING NEWSPAPERS IN THE POST-OFFICE late sitting of the Glasgow Circuit Court of Justiciary, Daniel Peddie, sorter of newspapers in the Post-office, Glas. gow, was accused, on six charges, of stealing, embezzling or secreting, or of wilfully detaining or delaying in course o conveyance, or delivery thereof by post, printed newspapers without covers, or in covers open at the sides. The prisoner pleaded guilty to two of the charges, and was sentenced to six months' imprisonment. It appeared that the papers so abstracted were principally those directed to foreign parts, upon which the postage had not been paid, and which the prisoner ought to have transmitted to the " Dead Letter office." ,—At the SINGULAR DEATH.-Mr. Wakley held an' inquest on Tuesday, at the George and Dragon, Buckingham-street, Fitzroy-square, London, on the body of Mary Ann Stacey, aged three years. The parents of the deceased reside at No. 33, Cirencester-place, in the above neighbourhood. On Wednesday last deceased was walking backwards in the kitchen, drawing a toy after her, when, coming in contact with a pail of boiling soapsuds, he fell over head foremost into it. On being extricated a surgeon was sent for, who rendered every assistance, but she lingered till the next day, when she expired in the greatest agony. Verdict—" Acci dental death." IMPROVED MACHINERY. — Amongst the many improve ments in machinery which are daily taking place, we notice with pleasure the introduction recently, at the harbour works, of a self-acting machine for driving piles. The moving power is taken from a cylinder connected with the engine erected for pumping out the water in the dock. We have not a sufficient acquaintance with mechanics to be able to give a particular description of the machine ; but it does its work in a most admirable manner. There are two other pile-driving ma chines, wrought by manual labour, in operation alongside of it, requiring nine men to each ; and this self-acting machine, attended by one man, gives seven strokes for every one that the others give —so that it does the work of 63 men. It can be extended in the same proportion to any power. It is the invention of Mr. James Milne, engineer at the dock—a young man of very considerable promise. --Montrose Review DEATH OCCASIONED BY EPSOM SALTS.—An inquest was taken at Sawtry, on view of the body of Daniel Cox, a labourer, who died on Wednesday night. It appeared that the deceased was drinking at a public-house on Tuesday, and was rather intoxicated, when some persons in the room put a quantity of Epsom salts iu his beer, which acted so violently upon a constitution enfeebled by habitual drunken ness, as to occasion death on the following night. The jury returned a verdict cf r, - ;717r17,:17,1 i. against Thos. Staynton, William Ashbridge, Mary Seotney, and William Newton, the foolish 1381'6011i who administered the salts. The three former were held to bail to answer the charge, and the latter has not been taken into em,: - .Jdy.—StocAport Advertiser. EXTRAORDINARY FLIGHT OF BlRDS.—During the high winds that prevailed on Sunday last, our harbour and float• ing docks were visited by large flights of a rare and beautify: species of bird, the " Sterna Arctica," or Arctic Tern. Tin birds were assembled in such vast numbers, that two or three hundreds were killed with stones and other missiles, whilst several were caught alive; and so tame were they, that many were observed to pitch on the backs of passers by. This tern as its name indicates, is a native of the higher Arctic regions, and has been met with in all the late expeditions to the Polar Seas. It is a summer visitant to the coasts of Scotland, and the north of England, but is rarely met with more southerly, and until the present, there was no instance on record of a specimen having been obtained in this neighbourhood. The appearance of such vast flights of Arctic birds, rare as a species, in the very heart of a large city, is an occurrence as remarkable as it is interesting. Flocks of these birds were also observed the same day at Clevedon, Weston, and other places along the Channel coast.—Bristol Mirror. The family of the Rev. F. C. Johnson, of Whitelackington, near Ilminster, Somerset, are plunged into the deepest dis tress from the untimely death of the rev. gentleman's eldest son, which has taken place at Palermo, in a duel with the Due de Calabritti, a Neapolitan nobleman, with whom he had a quarrel, and whom Mr. Johnson struck in the face, knocking out two of his front teeth. The combatants were placed at fifteen paces' distance, pistols being the weapons used. The first took place without effect ; but, unfortu nately, notwithstanding every attempt was made to reconcile the parties, a second fire was insisted on, when, horrible to relate, Mr. Johnson was shot dead on the spot, his own shot wounding his antagonist in the face so desperately as to carry away part of the nose, disfiguring him most probably for life. The seconds are all in custody, and will probably be dealt with very severely. On Monday evening the usual annual meeting of the St. Ann's Society's schools was held at their Institution, at Brixton Hill, Surrey. The Archbishop of Canterbury pre- ' sided.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF DRUGGISTS.—Some time since a 'male named Spitzer died at Algiers by taking poison in stead of a medicine which had been ordered for her. The druggists, two partners, who caused this melancholy result, and their shopman, were brought to trial, and condemned , the two former to three and the latter to four months' im prisonment, for their negligence in administering poison by mistake. The affair, however, did not end here. We learn from Algiers that the three children of Madame Spitzer having brought an action for damages against the druggists, they have been condemned to pay 600 f. a-year to each of the children until of age.—Galignani. STEAM-BOAT ACCIDENT. —About halt-past eleven on Tuesday night, between Waterloo and Blackfriars bridges, a collision took place between the Vivid and Era steam-boats. The Vivid was on her passage up from Greenwich, loaded with passengers, making her way to Hungerford, at the time. The cries and shrieks of the women on board were terrific. The Era had been bringing down her passengers from Wands worth fair, had landed them at Hungerford, and was making for her moorings off Arundel-street, when she was struck. The Vivid ran on the shore, and by means of boats landed her passengers, many of whom got a severe ducking. The Era at the same time came to her moorings, but, from the damage she sustained. went down in the course of the night. As far as could be ascertained, no lives were lost, unless any Person fell off at the time the collision occurred. CONFIDENCE IN Silt R. PEEL. — Addresses from the fol lowing places have, within the last few days, been forwarded to Sir Robert Peel, expressive of entire confidence in her Majesty's present government :—From Dumbarton, signed by Peter Denny, Esq., Provost, and bearing the common seal of the burgh. From Plymouth, signed by above two hundred and fifty inhabitants of the borough, in public meet in.. assembled. From Stockpor t, si g n ed by the chairman o f the Stockport Operative Association, Mr. G. Worsley. From Hereford, signed by onehundred and four inhabitants. From Derby, from the Derby Operative Conservative Society, with more than two hundred signatures. From Ayr, signed by four hundred and sixty-four inhabitants. From Kirkin tilloch, signed by the chief magistrate, and six hundred and sixty-six inhabitants of the burgh and parish. From Brad ford, (Yorkshire,) signed by eight hundred and twelve mem bers of the Operative Conservative Association. From Roch dale and neighbourhood, signed by seven hundred and sixty eight inhabitants. THE RAILWAY ACCIDENT NEAR PARIS.—The Natione publishes several additional details relative to the sufferers b) the late catastrophe on the Versailles Railroad. Five more of the mutilated corpses, remaining uninterred in the church yard of Mount Parnasse, had been recognised, amongst whom was a barrister named Leapontai, his brother, and his niece. Two deaths had occurred—one at the Hospital Neckar, and another at the Hotel Dieu. Of nine persons who left the Hotel du Cheval Blanc, Rue de Beaubsurg, for Versailles, not one has since been heard of. No trace can be found of a family of five persons residing in the Chausee d'Antin. La Presse states, that a young lady, whose name has not been ascertained, called on the second engineer, who, although severely wounded by the accident on the Versailles Railroad, escaped with his life, and handed him 500 f., say ing at the same time, " You have saved him whom I love; he is horribly disfigured, but you have restored him to me. You are the father of a family ; you have suffered severely by this dreadful calamity. Receive, I pray you, the widow's mite." The engineer refused ; and the widow, having placed 500 f. in gold on his bed, withdrew. FEARGUS O'CONNOR AND MR. ROEBUCK.—The Con , ntion, and Mr. O'Connor himself, having conceived tha he offensive terms, " That the petition had been drawn up hy a cowardly and malignant demagogue," used by Mr. Roebuck in reference to the national petition presented by Mr. Duncombe, were intended to apply to Mr. O'Connor, a deputation was appointed to wait upon Mr. Roebuck for an explanation or a retraction of these words. Mr. M'Douall and Mr. Phelp, the members of the deputation, met Mr. Roebuck and demanded the required explanation. To which he replied that be made it a rule never to give any explana tion of words used by him in the House of Cummons, add ing, " I have nothing to do with Mr. O'Connor or Mr. O'Connor with me." Mr. O'Connor then had an interview with Mr. Duncombe for the purpose of ascertaining from him whether the member for Bath applied the offensive terms to him (Mr. O'Connor). The member for Finsbury said that the facts were not quite correct, as Mr. Roebuck had rather left the impression than given the information. Mr. O'Connor has been since on the look out for Mr. Roebuck, and has written a long letter to the chartists upon the sub ject, which he concluded with the following words :—" I shall ever, in despite of legal bond and obligation, conform to those rules which society requires for its government. My friends, I am neither braggart, bully, nor coward ; I never seek the battle, nor shun it when it comes." EXTRAORDINARY TRIAL FOR MANSLAUGHTER.—A singular case, which, we believe, is the first of the kind that has ever been tried in a court of justice, either in this coun try or America, has been heard before Judges Baldwin and Randall, in the United States Court, at Philadelphia. The prisoner, A. W. Holmes, one of the crew of the ship William Brown, stood charged with manslaughter on the high seas. The vessel sailed from Liverpool for Philadelphia, on the 12th March, 1841. On the night of the 19th of April, when about 253 miles from Newfoundland, she struck. as is sup posed, on an island of ice, and sunk in an hour. Thirty-one persons, who had remained on board, perished. Of the re mainder of the passengers and sailors, 42 had got into the long-boat ; and the captain, with eight of his crew and a pas senger, were in the jolly-boat. On the following morning, the boats separated, to make the best of their way to land; and so crowded was the long-boat, that the mate, at parting, said to the captain that he saw no alternative for them but to cast lots who should go over. Although the s ea was cairn, baling was constantly necessary ; but at night the wind freshened, and the rain was violent ; the boat leaked, and the waves were dashed into it, so that acco rdin g to the those for wit nesses for the defence, the danger was greats although the prosecution did not beliebe it to be imminent. It seems, however, to have been admitted on all hands (at least it was not denied by the witnesses for the prosecution), that the boat was sinking, and that the gun wale was within two inches of the water's edge. In th is extremity, the awful ex pedient of lightening the boat by the throwing over of four teen passengers was resorted to, and on the following morn ing two others were thrown over ; but by whom does not ap pear to have been satisfactorily proved, some swearing that it was one individual, some another. The case was warmly argued on both sides, the prosecution contending that no case of inevitable necessity had been made out ; and that the law applied to cases much more extreme than this. The defence alleged, that they had fully established a case of inevitable necessity ; and there was every presumption to believe, that, if they had not resorted to the melancholy alternative of throwing some overboard they must all have inevitably pe rished. Here the case rested, when the judge charged the jury that the obligation of the captain and crew to carry the passengers safe extended to a case even of such imminent danger ; and they were bound to sacrifice their cm n lives, if necessary, for the preservation of the rest. The jury, after a consultation of twenty hours, found Holmes guilty, but una nimously recommended him to the mercy of the court. — Judge Baldwin said that their recommendation should have the most respectful consideration.—The punishment, by the United States law, is five year's imprisonment; but there is to be an application for a new trial. WONDERFUL, IF TRUE.—On Monday last a boy in the service of Mr. Robert Grange, of Willgrove, in Kent, who was employed in tending sheep on the waste lands bordering on a rather extensive tract of woodlands, known as the " Fells," came running in a state of breathless haste and alarm to the residence of his master, and gave the following extraordinary account :—He was lying on the ground, he said, watching the sheep, near to the hedge which separates the wood from the waste, when his attention was attracted by hearing a crackling noise in the hedge, and immediately afterwards a large snake darted out, and made a spring at one of the lambs. The lamb, however, according to the boy's statement, gave a jump and ran away, and the snake then coiled itself up and lay at the foot of the hedge. The lad described the reptile as being as long as a hop pole, usually from ten to fifteen feet, and he further stated, that he threw a stick at the snake, upon which it retreated to the wood and twined itself round the stem of a sapling on the borders of the copse. On hearing the boy's account Mr. Robert Grange, jun., although somewhat sceptical of the accuracy of the statement, accompanied him to the spot, and to his great surprise he beheld twined round the tree at the place pointed out by the lad a large brown-looking snake, Mr. Grange threw a hedge-stake at the reptile, and which evidently struck the snake, for it instantly uncoiled itself I and made for the recesses of the wood. Mr. Grange then sent the boy to the house for a gun, and on the lad's re turn, accompanied by two of the workmen, the party entered the wood, when the snake was again discovered endeavouring to make its way through the underwood, upon which Mr. Grange fired, when the reptile twined itself round the trunk of a tree, writhing as though in agony. A discharge from the second barrel of the gun, directed at the creature's head, brought it down to the ground, where it commenced a series of violent struggles, writhing and twisting itself into a variety of positions, and crushing the decayed underwood, and even green branches of a considerable thickness, with fear ful violence. At length the struggles of the reptile being somewhat abated, the party ventured to approach the spot, when they discovered the snake lying with its jaws distended and quite dead. It was immediately drawn from the close cover to an open place, and on being exposed. fully to view, its size excited the astonishment of the captors, the creature measuring 6 feet 4 inches in length, and being nearly a foot in circumference at the thickest part. The snake has since been pronounced by a gentleman who has had frequent op portunities of examining the species to be a young boa con strictor, but by what chance the reptile became a denizen of the " Fells" remains a mystery. The most probable con jecture is that the creature made its escape from some tra velling exhibition. No visible remains of food were found in the snake's viscera, on being examined after the skin had been stripped off, preparatory to the process of stuffing, it being the intention of Mr. Grange to preserve a resemblance of the snake for the inspection of the curious.—London Paper of Wednesday. The conjecture concerning the extraordinary appearance of the boa constrictor, lately killed in the wood at Wellgrove, turns out to be correct, the snake having on the night previously to its destruction made its escape from a travelling collection of wild beasts, &c., which had been exhibiting at Carnfield, upwards of two miles from the spot where the reptile was killed. On Tuesday the owner of the exhibition made his appearance at Wellgrove, and was somewhat indignant at the slaughter of his protige, for which he said he would not have taken 20 guineas. He claimed the skin of the defunct snake, which was of course given up to him. It appears that the snake, in its gambols had forced out a part of the partition of its empty cage, and then crawled into an adjoining cage. which being empty the door had been left unfastened. From thence it made its way to the open space in the caravan, and effected its escape through an open window. The owner of the exhibi tion declares that there is no doubt but the reptile made an attempt to seize the lamb, as before mentioned in a former account, having been near its usu a l feeding time, and its gastronomical powers were such that it has been known to gorge dogs of considerably larger di mensions than is usual with lambs at this season of the year, after having crushed the animals within its deathly folds, and duly prepared them for the process. The following rather laughable incident, connected with the appearance of the snake, will show that the rambles of the reptile had not been altogether unobserved by another individual, a farmer of the neighbourhood, somewhat notorious for his devotion to the " jolly god," w h o h av i ng been spending the b est part of the night with some ki n d r ed devotees, happened to b e wen di ng his way homeward shortly after daybreak on the Monday, when, in passing along a lane skirting the " fells," he Was startled by observing a dark -looking ob j ect waving to and fro, open mouthed, amongst the bushe s of a hedge by the road side. The sight of this singular object, it appears, partly brought the fa rmer to hi s sense s, for he rushed,exc apparently " in great alarm, into his dwelling,laiming, much to the gratification of his cara spate:, vulga, `' old woman," " Th a t he'd be domm ' d if he did na g ig up the cursed Ticker altoge ther, for that he had seen the devil in the shape of a fiery sar pent, wiggling waggling his head at him most awful."— Morning Her a ld of Thursday.

The business in Oats has not been so firm, as there are still considerable supplies of the Irish article of an inferior kind. SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, MAY 16. The supply of Beasts in our market of to-day was, the time of year considered, moderately good, and, generally speaking, of fair average quality—there being a great comparative improvement apparent in the condition of the Scots, Devons, runts, Herefords, short, horns, and home-breds. From Norfolk and Suffolk we re ceived 1450 Scots and home-hreds ; from others of our grazing tracts, 220 of various breeds; from Scotland, per steamers, 300 Scots. The attendance of buyers being not very numerous, the Beef trade was in a depressed state, and, in order to effect a clearance, a decline in the currencies noted on Monday last, of quite ad per Sib, was submitted to by the salesmen. Thtinumber of Sheep was extensive, which produced much heaviness in the demand for them, and the rates suffered an abatement of quite ad per 81b the very highest figure obtained for the best downs out of their wool, they being mostly all shorn, was 4s 4d per Slb. From the Isle of Wight, 280 Lambs came to hand per railway. The Lamb trade was heavy, at an abatement of 4d per Sib. The inquiry for Veal was slow, and Friday's depressed quotations were with difficulty supported. In Pigs scarcely any thing was passing. By the quantities of Slbs, sinking the offal. . . . _ 4 P P ".4 P - - (- -- 3 --- ''d K .... P a 2 044 0 0 i . • 0 .• I . 5 0 8 • m • 0 Z Z ? 4 S 4 4 41* 4 .... ,3 .4 V I. 11l ".. BIRMINGHAM CORN MARKET. MAY 18. During the present week holders of English Wheat asked more money, and on fine samples some advance has been paid here and in the neighbouring markets. No improvement can be noted in foreign. Malting Barley and Beans maintain former rates. English Oats in request, and rather dearer; Irish still neglected, though held with firmness. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MAY 19. The demand for Cotton has considerably increased within the last few days ; yesterday 5000 bales were sold, and today 6000, at full market prices. Exporters have taken 1000 bales to-day, but the trade are free purchasers, and then a disposition to buy largely, if they met with it quite to their mind. There is a healty tone about the market, which argues well, and if improvement in Man chester continues, we have not only seen our lowest prices, but we must shortly look up a little. LONDON CORN EXCHANGE. MAY 16. There was a fair supply of Wheat from Essex and Kent this morning, for which 2s advance was realised, and a clearance made. Free foreign is a better sale at last week's prices, and there is some demand for bonded; but as yet very little ditty has been paid, and it is likely to be reduced Is on Thursday next, and wiil probably remain stationary for some week's afterwards. Barley has declined Is, the malting season being finished. The Oat trade has revived, and must be written Is dearer WEDNESDAY LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, MAY 13 In addition to the scanty supplies named on Friday, we have very few arrivals either coastwise or from Ireland; the only imports deserving notice since this day week being comprised in 10,668 qrs. of Wheat from the Continental ports of Europe, about 1,700 qrs. of Beans from Egypt, and 700 barrels of Flour from the American States. Our market to-day being well attended by town and coun try millers, the trade for all descriptions of fine Wheats was firm at an advance upon the quotations of this day week of 2d. per 701bs, and with some further demand for Ireland, including several speculative transactions, a good fair busi ness was effected. _ _ . In the value of English or Irish Flour no change was ap parent ; but States and Canadian, duty paid, was 6d. to Is. per barrel dearer ; whilst parcels of such, under lock, were in request at a similar amendment. Including !the operations alluded to in the foregoing state ment, further sales of Wheat in bond and to arrive have taken place daily ; forming, on the whole, transactions to a considerable amount since this day week, and comprehend ing, in granary under lock, Baltic, Italian, and common Odessa Wheats, upon which to-day we note an improvement of 2d. per bushel ; several Baltic and Mediterranean cargoes afloat have also been taken at late quotations. Barley, Beans, and Pease, were little noticed, and scarcely maintained former prices. Malt remained steady. Oats, upon a moderate demand, supported the improved rates of Friday ; and Oatmeal, attended with a more general inquiry, realised ls. per 2401b5. over the terms of this day se'nnight.
