He did not wish to oppose an investigation, but to prevent the present ac cused parties being sent before the grand jury as witnesses before they had either ignored or found the present bills; when they had done either one or the other he had no objection to a bill being sent up against Hughes, and that his original information might then be sent up, but he earnestly entreated the public not to allow their minds to be poisoned beforehand. (The learned gentle man was much excited in tone and manner.) The Court finally ordered bills to be sent up against Hughes when the present bills against the traversers were disposed of. The grand jury adjourned shortly before five o'clock. FOUR MEN DROWNED. — IsIay, Oct. 23.—0 u Friday night last, four young men, belonging to Bowmore, were drowned in Lochindaul. They were out at the fishing all day, and towards evening the wind being south-west, blew very high, and it seems that the boat, when coming home, was upset. 0 informed, were allusive to the concluded between the two countries, .o his great personal friendship for me ; and .use of it he took a rich golden bracelet, made in arm of a puzzle, with two clasped hands, off his own a and put it on m i ne .

Ben tinck, the Conservative candidate, being a very favourable one, and the Quaker electors of Kendal being a good deal annoyed at the exposure of Mr. Warburton's electioneer ing tricks at Bridport. The reports of the Municpal Elections in various parts of the country, show that, generally speaking, much less interest is taken in these contests, than used to be the case. In some instances however, much spirit has been displayed ; and the Conservatives have been the victors in the majority of cases. he was eleven years of age uis one upwards of forty years, and ith his wife, at Pekin ; and that it in the palm of one of the hands in Only one witness was examined, Mr. Vernon, and it is not likely that he will be up again.

Three persons were in jured, and one of them, a ringer named Mazarin, so much so in the head, by a splinter from the scaffolding, that it was necessary to carry him immediately into the hospital of the Hotel Dieu. GENERAL MISCELLANY, mained in China or returned to England ; that if Taou kevang (the Emperor) saw me, he would give me a two-eyed peacock's feather—the highest honour in China; and that I had gained a great reputation and much dis 'n my own country, but in every part r we rose from the table, and re ,m again, I presented his EKcel ,word and belt, which I had l Malcolm to bring from An Order in Council, recently issued, directs that the six minor canons of \Vestminster Abbey shall each in future receive an annual stipend of £l5O. On Thursday last, workmen commenced taking up the old pavement in the Old Shambles, Preston, and they are now busily engaged in preparing for the wooden blocks. BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, Nov. 3.—Our raw sugar market continues with animation ; and purchases are only made for immediate purposes, but we have no alte ration to notice in prices, which continue steady at from 565. to 675. from very low brown to good bright grocery descriptions. Average price of sugar, Oct. 31, is 345. 41d, per cwt. tinction, not onl tired to t The staff of the League, with Mr. Cobden at its head, left Manchester on Saturday morning for Salisbury, to meddle with the election there. WIGAN MUNICIPAL ELECTION.—The triumph of the Conservatives in this borough is again complete. Con servatives, 10 ; Radicals, 0. It is not generally known that Mr. Cobden, M.P., re ceived his education at an academy at Bowes, for the " board, clothing, and tuition" of young gentlemen, kept by the late Mr. Clarkson, where he gave promise of con siderable talent. The Bowes schools have since been im mortalised in the faithful and graphic narrative of " Nicholas Nickleby" from the pen of Mr. Dickens., THAMES NAVIGATION.—There landed and embarked during the summer, at the Red House-pier, Battersea fields, 121,237 persons, besides children in arms. Mr. Peter Nichol, of the Leazes, Newcastle, bird-fan cier, has this year made the novel importation of two hundred of that handsome bird, the Goldfinch. EXTENSIVE FIRE.—At midnight on Thursday, the Itoodee Paper Mill, near Chester, was discovered to be on fire. In an hour the whole front range was in one con tinuous flame, and the mill with a. large quantity of paper was destroyed, but the foundry adjoining was saved. The damage is estimated at several thousand pounds, but the property is insured. James Chadwick, Esq., elected Borougbreeve of Man chester, on the 18th October, having refused to serve, has been fined £5O, and Wm. Wanklyn, Esq., elected in his stead. THE TEA TRADE, Oct. 30.—The deliveries last creek were rather smaller, being 438,5091 b. The trade since the conclusion of the public sales has been quiet, at the re duced prices then established. Last week, Master S. L. Hilton, aged fifteen, a student at the Military College, Sandhurst, was killed by a blow on the head, received from a fellow- student, when flourish ing his stick at play, in the game of hockey. THE BOY JONES.—The boy Jones, whoso often broke into Buckingham Palace, is on board the Warspite. Having lately attempted to desert, he was detected, and received a severe flogging. The principal Banks in Newcastle-upon-Tyne have re duced their rate of discount on bills not having more than three months to run to four per cent ; and their rate of interest on deposits to two and a half per cent. THE LATE GALES.—Four bodies from some of the wrecks on the Southport coast were washed up on Mon day night last. One of the vessels was a coaster from Ireland. A poor mechanic at Bristol, of the name of Bacon, has nvented a pump and fire-engine, which, for compactness and power, is unique. It draws water at 22 feet from the surface, and throws to a great distance. Its cost is about £2O, and it possesses an hydraulic power equal to a large engine worth £l7O or £lBO. An experiment was made last week in the presence of several scientific men, and gave satisfaction. FATAL EXPLOSION.—On Friday week a terrific explo sion took place at the manufactory of Mr. J. Merr ix, at Birmingham, an occasional maker of fireworks. No cause an be assigned for it, but Mr. Merrix, his wife and assist ants, were engaged in making those articles at the time. Nine persons were conveyed to the hospital, and three of these, including a son of Mr. Merril are already dead, and the lives of others despaired of. On Wednesday, being the commencement of the regu lar hunting season of her Majesty's staghounds, there was a brilliant meeting at Salthill. Upwards of two hundred horsemen were present, among whom were the Noble Master of the Buckhounds, Viscount Seaham, and many of the officers of the Life and Foot Guards, General Wemyss, and a number of gentlemen from town, who came with their horses, by the Great Western Railway. THE PEGASUS.—An application for a rule calling upon the coroner of Berwick-upon-Tweed to return into cou r t the inquisition which had been held before him on the body of a person named William Milne, one of those drowned in the late wreck of the Pegasus on Holy Island, was made at the Bail Court, London, on Tuesday. The object was, that the inquisition might be quashed, upon several grounds which were stated. The application was granted. FORGERY. — Mr. Thomas Walker, an attorney residing at Dewsbury, near Wakefield, has been committed f or trial at the York assizes, charged with having twice f orged the signature of Mr. M. B. Bere, one of the commission ers of the Leeds District Court of Bankruptcy, to a pro tecting order given to an insolvent who had employed the prisoner to get him through the Leeds District Court of Bankruptcy, and for which the latter had given the pri. soner a sum of money in advance.—London paper. THE ROBBERY OF A CHAPEL BURIAL GROUND.-- On Wednesday, at the Central Criminal Court, London, Isaac Bridgman and John White Bridgman, his son, were indicted for stealing a body from the burial-ground at tached to St. John's Chapel, in West-street, Walworth. The elder prisoner was the Minister of the chapel, and the younger one, his son, who was 17 years of age, and was studying for the medical profession. The elder pri soner was acquitted, and the younger one was sentenced to twelve months imprisonment. The first cabinet dinner since the prorogation of parlia ment, which was to have taken place at the residence of Sir James Graham, in Ilill-street, Berkeley Square, on Wednesday next, is postponed until Wednesday the 15th. The last stone of the tower of the new Royal Exchange, London, was set by the contractor on Monday last, on which occasion all the workmen were entertained, and some bottles of champagne were drunk at the top of the scaffold, in honour to such completion. We are gratified in being able to state that her Majesty's Custom-house officers at this port have been more busily engaged during the last 15 or 20 days than for several years past. The increased activity is more especially ob servable in the import trade.—Hull Herald. EXTRAORDINARY TRIAL.—The week before last the trial of twenty-two thieves, for the perpetration of no less than fifty-seven robberies, took place in Paris. They were found guilty, and sentenced to hard labour at the hulks for periods vat., ing from thirty years to four years. A few days ago. Mr. Beaumont, a highly respectable solicitor, at Warrington, forwarded a £lOO note in the course of business, and, as it has never reached its desti nation, it is supposed that it has been lost in the Liver pol Postoffice.—Chester Chronicle. The Bombay Times, of the 29th of July just come to hand, contains a curious and elaborate calculation, made by one of the Hindoo pupils of the Elphinstone College, in which, not only the absurdity, but the impossibility, of Mr. Henson's aerial ship, is mathematically demonstrated. The stock of bullion held by the Bank of England dur ing the four weeks ending the 14th of October was £12,086,000, showing a decrease of £164,000, as compared with the preceding month ; and an increase of £2,285,000 as compared with the corresponding period of last year. A GREEK VILLAGE.—The village of Moria, straggling at its commencement, but gradually presenting a more compact array of rustic habitations, occupies a valley not to be equalled by any thing that I have seen in Scio, an island which has a reputation for pre-eminent beauty : from the tall tree to the plant of Bacchus, that, diffident of its strength, seeks support from its vigorous neighbour, every thing grows here with a graceful luxuriance. After traversing many districts, known to have been once fertile, but now waste and desolate, under the withering rule of Islam, the traveller cannot persuade himself that even a spot like this has not lost some of its charms, and will say, " How delightful this little valley , still so beautiful, must have been in Lesbian times !" Yet here I could not dis cover any memorial of the Hellenic race, except a large stone, bearing a relief of a pair of wreaths and an urn. Over one of the wreaths were the letters Odamos : the corresponding inscription of the other is defaced ; but ho doubt it was the Doric Abolla.—Literary Gazette. WILL OF ALDERMAN WOOD. — The will and codicil of Alderman Sir Matthew Wood, late M.P. for the City of London, have just been proved in Doctors' Commons, by B. Wood, Esq. (the brother), and W. P. Wood, Esq. (the son), the executors. The deceased gives to his wife, Dame Maria Wood, the furniture, plate, pictures, chi na. carriages, wines, spirits, and £5OO per annum for life, He directs £20,000 to be invested in the funds, and the interest to be paid to the Rev. J. P. Wood. The pro perty is sworn under £70,000. Loss OF TOE FRANCIS, OF LONDON.—On the 29th ult., the brig Francis, of London, Joseph Parker, m aster , of 133 tons register, and six men, at four p.m., was found to be in a sinking state about thirty-five miles off Tyne mouth, the greater part of her ballast washed away, and pumps choked. At nine a.m. the brig Esk, of Newcastle, hove in s ght. At ten a.m. she hoisted a signal of dis tress ; got the long-boat out, and the whole of the crew, at great risk of life, went on board th e E s k . Th e F rancis shortly after went down in about 50 fathoms water, every effort to save her having failed. SALE OF Two ISLANDS.—On Tuesday two islands, named Rasey and Bona, situated in the Hebrides, were sold by auction at the Auction Mart. They were for many years the property of the M`Leods, of Itasay, and com prise about 18,000 acres. The net value of the estate, in cluding the mines and the timber, was about £73,000. There were 52 farms, the rent arising from which was about £1,200. They were capable of rapid improvement, in consequence of the facilities of communication from them to the metropolis, the journey now being completed in less than 36 hours. The estate was put up at 20,000 guineas, and eventually knocked down at 35,000 guineas. MURDER IN THE ISLE OF MAN.—On Saturday week, a man by the name of Thomas Cowley, of Baldwin, who has for twelve months betrayed symptoms of aberra tion of mind, murdered his wife in the following man ner :—lt appeared that on that day he was about leaving home as usual, when his wife followed and endeavoured to prevail on him to return, and on his approach to her he took up a large stone and threw it with such violence at her head as to cause an extensive fracture of the skull, of which the unfortunate woman died on Tuesday morn ing last. On Wednesday an inquest sat upon the body, when the jury brought in a verdict of " Wilful murder against Thomas Cowley."—?Manx Sun. HER MAJESTY'S SHIP RATTLER.--A trial trip has been made in the Thames of this vessel, which has been fitted with Smith's Screw Propellor, when some of The Lords of the Admiralty and Captains of the Navy, as well as scientific men accompanied her. The result was highly satisfactory as to the powers of the screw as a propellor; and the advantages of its application to war-steamers were admitted as allowing a whole broadside of guns, in addi tion to two long ones generally ❑ow placed on steamers' decks, to be carried. This is the first ship of war to which the screw has been applied. The arrangement of the machinery, size of screw, &c., have been made under the directions of Mr. Brunel. SINGULAR DISCOVERY. —We understand that the workmen employed in pulling down an old dwelling-house at Gotham, in this county, to their great surprise, found the probate copy of the will of a man named Burrows, who bad resided there many years ago, he having owned the property. It was found stuck between two walls in the staircase. This same property has been long held by Earl Howe, in consequence of the inability of the parties to make any title to the same; but it is now conceived that his lordship will, upon a pedigree being produced, and the title of the heir-at-law established (who, we hear, resides in Nottingham), readily relinquish the possession. —Nottingham Journal. CURIOUS REMEDY.—A few days ago, a carrier's horse haying got disabled and become useless, from a sprain or lunation, its owner resolved on finishing its career, and accordingly it was taken to the jetty at the pier, and corn. mited to the " vasty deep." In place of submitting to be carried to sea, the animal speedily get to• land, and was subjected to a second plunge from the jetty, from which it again came to land, but completely restored in its dis ordered limb. The horse was then taken to its old quar ters, and has since wrought as well as ever. It is proba ble that the efforts which the horse made in swimming reduced the dislocation, but as to the real cure, we must refer it to the learned in such matters.—Rosshire Adver tiser. The village of Cotherstorre, which is situated in a pic turesque and romantic part 01 Teesdale, a little below the junction of the Baulder with the Tees, and so long famed for its very rich cheeses, and for the custom which is said to have prevailed there of " christening calves ;" and lat terly for having supplied the name of Mr. Bowes's famed , race-horse ; is now rapidly rising into notice as a colony of the Society of Friends. A number of Quakers have been long settled there, who chiefly follow the simple and rural occupation of agricllture ; now it is becoming the abode of numbers of weelthy members of that religious body on retiring from business. At present a very elegant mansion in the Gothic styleof architecture is erecting on the banks of the Baulder, fir Francis Gibson, banker of Saffron Walden, Essex. AGRICULTURAL FIRES IN SVRREIC.—There were three instances of incediarism raging. at one time on. Thursday night the 2d. The first was at Park Farm, occupied by Mr. Harwood.. Very soon after another farm-yard, very near the former and in the same occupation, burst out in a blaze, and one of the engines was sent in that' direction, but so rapid was the combustion that the whole was soon in flames, and several horses and hogs perished. The same evening a large barn close to the public-house at East Clandon was on fire, and application made at Guild ford for the engines, which could not be complied with, as all of them were away at the two first mentioned fires. There can be no•doubt as to the character of these fires, there was one last week about half a mile from the two first-mentioned, and an attempt the week befora. FLOOD IN TILE IRWELL.—On Saturday evening week, in consequence of the heavy rain, the water in the. river Irwell rose to a considerable height above its ordinary level, and came down with such force as to wash away a stage erected by Messrs. Pauling and Henfrey, con-trac tors, at Hunt's-bank, Manchester. The balks forming the stage floated down the river in one raft, with great velocity and force, and came in contact with one of the uprights supporting the temporary foot-bridge at the end of Bridge-street, communicating with Salford. The- re sult of the concussion was, that the upright or supporter was broken in two near the middle, leaving the bridge unsupported for about sixty feet ; but, in consequence of the precautions taken, no person was suffered to pass over the bridge. Another wooden temporary bridge is to be immediately erected, and the loss to the contractors will be about £2OO. WESLEYAN CO24MITTEF. ON•EnucATlotst,--The Special Committee appointed by Conference to consider the subject of day schools, was summoned to meet in London on Tucatlay last. We perceive hum the huh report of toe Wesleyan Committee on Education, presented to the last Conference by the able secretary, the Rev. Robert New ton, that the day schools of the Wesleyans, as well as their Sunday schools, are yearly on the increase. The following is the return :—Boys' Day Schools, 141 ; Girls' Day Schools, 121 ; Infant Schools, 28 ; making a total of 220 Day Schools,,with 20,804 Scholars ; and 3797 Sunday Schools, with 401,383 Scholars; making a grand total of 4037 Schools, with 422,187 Scholars. The whole present ing the following summary, viz. : Increase of Day Schools .. Increase of Sunday Schools Total Increase of Schools Increase of Day Scholars..., Increase of Sunday Scholars 2,271 23,383 Total Increase of Scholars 25,654 Loss OF FOUR LIVES.—We regret we have this wee , ' to record another seriocs accident on the Humber. On Monday night last, the ship Andromache, Hunter, of this port, having arrived in the Humber from Quebec, with a cargo of timber and deals, during the heavy squall swung across the current—capsized, and, falling on her larboard beam ends, engulphed the mate, steward, and seven of the crew in their berths under the hatches. A foreigner, named Henry Horsens, went over with the ship, and was not seen again ; a similar fate attended the steward, who is supposed to have been washed out of the cabin window, as he got out of hisberth. Some men afterwards boarded the wreck, proceeded to cut through the starboard side of the forecastle deck, almost the only part they above wa ter; and, by this means, seven men were extricated from their perilous situation in the forecastle • but the eighth, a youth of sixteen, named G eorge Revell, was unhappily drowned in his berth before the assistance from the Bee arrived. The wreck, being timber laden, retained the same position until about nine o'clock the next morning, when, having been in some degree moved by a river boat, it righted ; and, being taken in tow by the Eagle, steam tug, was brought safely into port with comparatively less damage than could have been expected. It was then found that the mate, Charles Ross, aged 35, and the youth, George Revell, 16 years, had been drowned in their berths.—Hull Rockingham. PRESENT STATE OF THE IRON TRADE.—The furnaces stated in the following paper have been blown in since the 25th of September, and if about six more are added to this number, it will include all that are likely to be put in operation in Staffordshire until some further and consid erable improvement takes place in the price of iron. It will be no slight temptation that will induce parties to incur the expense of opening the mines which the recent pressure on the trade has had the effect of shutting up. The make of iron in South Staffordshire is not likely to be, therefore, materially increased. The late advance is well supported, and the demand appears sound and free from any speculative character ; indeed, some of the stocks which have been recently purchased with this object are being re-sold for consumption : FURNACES IN SOUTH STAFFORDSIRE BLOWN IN SINCE If sending to him, and with 1.

PORTER'S PATENT ANCHORS.—The great loss of pro perty and life by the late gales on the coast has directed attention to the consideration of the various means and appliances which may be rendered more efficient than they have hitherto been to prevent or mitigate such cala mities. Amongst other matters, it has been observed, many of the wrecks that have occurred on the coast arose from the efficiency of the ground tackle upon a lee shore, which naturally leads to the inquiry how it happens that so large a proportion of our mercantile navy still continue to be defectively found by their owners in this rerpect, when the means of improvement is now well understood, and can be applied with scarcely any increase of expense. On reverting to the accounts of the disasters which have been reported since the gale of last Wednesday week, it will be seen that, in the great majority of instances where vessels were driven ashore, the catastrophe might have been prevented if they had been properly found with anchors and cables on the most improved plan in proportion to tonnage. In order that some idea may be formed of the relative strength of the new and old anchors, we shall give the re sult of some of the testing experiments made at the dock yard at Woolwich, from March, 1841, to February of the Present year :—Patent anchor. 5 cwt., Admiralty proof 8} tons, sustained 21i tons ; 91 cwt., Admiralty proof ll tons, sustained 42 tons; 28 cwt., Admiralty proof 27-k tons, sustained COI tons. The test was applied by Bra mah's hydraulic press, and in every case was performed in the presence of a number of naval officers and engi neers, whose characters placed them above all suspicion of having any undue bias. These experimente, however, furnish only the idea of a small part of the advanta;es possessed by the new anclior. A SCENE Is HIGH LIFE.—Lord Melbourne, who is spending the autumn in comparative privacy at Melbourne Hall, Derbyshire, has latterly given a ball on several even ings each week, for the entertainments of his servants, and such of their acquaintance as they thought proper to invite, On a recent occasion of the kind, some of the principal servants, conceiving that it was inconsistent with the dignity conferred upon them by the elevated si tuations which they held to mix with the coachmen, housemaids, and other inferior dependants of the esta blishment, resolved to "divide the house," and thus pre serve their dignity and " caste." For carrying this reso lution into effect, they laid claim to the musicians engaged for the occasion, and consequently left the others without a piper to dance to. This circumstance led to a regular fracas, in which the relative positions of the parties were changed in double quick time, the " upper" servants be coming the " lower," and vice versa. At this moment the affair assumed a very serious aspect, and but for the timely appearance of the steward of the household, who drove the whole party out of the room, it is impossible to conceive what might have been the consequences.-mil ot gingham Review. TRANSPORTATION.—}t will be - recollected that about a year ago the Rev. Stephen , Aldhouse, M.A., lecturer of St. Allhallows, Lombard -street, London, was convicted'of bigamy, at the Central Criminal Court, and sentenced to seven years' transportation,- After his removal from Newgate he was placed on board a transport moored of Sheerness, and was there employed as tutor to the chil dren of one of the officers. He had not filled his post long before an order arrived from the Home-office for the shipment of seven year convicts for the penal colony of Van Dieman's Land, and Mr. Aldhouse . was drafted among them. During the past week a friend received a letter from him, in which he depicts the miseries of trans portation in forcible language, the convicts being dread fully coerced, irrespective of their previous station in life, or the offence' of which they were convicted. He states that he is set to break stones, and is to continue at that employ for two years before any portion of his earnings will be applied for his own use. He expresses- a hope that his communication will have the effect of convincing his countrymen that transportation is nst the light punish ment which many of them imagine it to be. THIRTY CHILDREN IZEARLY POISONED IN EDIN ISURGR.—On Monday forenoon, a number of children in the neighbourhood of Jamaica-etreet, Edinburgh, made a very narrow escape from being poisoned, by an occurrence which arose from a very simple inadverteacy. A shop keeper had ordered a large quantity of a species of foreign cut (not unlike the gall-nut of the Scottish oak, which is used for making ink,) to be thrown out on the street, having no use for them. The nuts unfortunately tempted the children playing about the street, and a general scram ble took place for the poisonous substance. They had all partaken more or less of them : some of them, indeed, stating since that they had eaten as many as twenty. The injurious consequences were soon manifested, one child aftel , another being seized with fits of vomiting and retch ing, palpitation at the heart, coldness at the extremities, and other symptoms of having swallowed poison. Luckily, medical assistance was speedily on the spot, else the con sequences must have been frightful. Im one building nine children were ill, and in some families two, and even three, had to be attended to. It is undentood that about hirty in all had partaken of the nuts ; but it is gratifying to state, that however violent the symptoms were at an earlier period of the day, they were all in the evening in the way of recovery. The nut is described as of a very bitter taste, which makes it the more wonderful that the children snouni have bt, . ;ad's...ad Sr. narfala of it. DARING BumaLAßY.—About two o'clock on Saturday morning the residence of the Rev. Robert Meek, rector of St. Michael's, Sutton Bonnington, was burglariously entered by five men clad in smock frocks, whose faces were masked with black crape or cloth, and who stole therefrom two dozen large silver forks, four sauce ladles, four silver butter knives, a gold watch, a silver one, and a very large quantity of other plate, together with £6 in money. The burglars effected an entrance by breaking open the front door by a crow bar. Mr. Meek was, awakened by the noise, and having discovered that the thieves had effected an entrance he slipped down a flight of back stairs to obtain assistance from the village, which is near the rectory, but he had only proceeded about 120 yards when he was attacked by two men, who inflicted several dangerous wounds upon him, and then dragged him back to the house. The thieves broke open the drawers, and ransacked every place in search of money, but only found the sum we have mentioned, though in the course of the previous day Mr. Meek had received from his tenants nearly £l2O, which was placed in a desk which stood upon the drawers the thieves ransacked in the bedroom, but fortunately a large Bible was placed in front of the desk, which concealed it from sight, and the money escaped discovery. The gang remained in the house above an hour and then went off together. Three of them have been apprehended, but remanded until Mr. Meek is able to attend their examination.—Nottingham Review. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—On Sunday week a vessel laden with flour and potash, from Canada, got aground near Blackpool. The wind blowing heavily at the time, one of the small boats was got out, when the mate jumped in, and was followed by Major Sparke.of the 3th regiment of infantry, who had distinguished himself in China, for which (as appeared by his papers) ho had been promoted; a young lady, named Leach, who had been paying a visit to her brother, a clergyman, in Canada, next got in, and was followed by a sailor, but they had not proceeded far when the boat was upset. The Major clung to an oar, which sustained him for some time, but was afterwards washed off, and sank to rise no more. The lady clung to the leg of the mate, who swam a. short distance with her, but, becoming exhausted, was obliged to extricate himself from her grasp, when she also. sank, within a short dis tance of the shore. The highestpraise is due to the mate, who, before the lady clung to his leg, had supported her, with his arm round her neck, entil his strength failed him. When the poor fellow was picked up, he was so exhausted that doabts were entertained of his recovery. The sailor got upon the boat, which was floating bottom upwards, and was washed ashore. The captain and the rest of the crew (about eight in number) remained on the vessel, and landed safely when the tide was out. The name of the vessel is the Aristocrat. Every endeavour was made by tho persons on shore to render them assistance, but the sea raged so furiously that all their efforts were in vain. The Major was on his way to his friends, at Woolwich, and the lady to hers, at Berwick. The body of the Major was picked up the following night. SHOCKING SUICIDE.--The village of Calver, in Derby shire, was on Saturday night, about nine o'clock, thrown into a state of the greatest alarm by the report that a young female, about 20 to 21 years of age, had committed suicide, by cutting her th roa t w ith a razor, in the most . determined manner. Th e paren t s o f t h e wretched gni are in respectable circumstances, occupying a farm under the Earl of Newburgh, and they also carry on the grocery business in a small way. The subject of this melancholy oceurrence was named Anne Gregory. About 16 months since she had an illegitimate child, which died, by a young man living in the same village. He gained her affections —effected her ruin—then deserted her. The same unfor tunate female was, on Tuesday evening week, delivered of another illegitimate child. A woman was sent for to act as midwife, who, when sho came, refused to do her the office until made acquainted with the name of the father of the child ; upon which she said a younger bro ther of her former swain was the father. The parents were naturally much distressed and angry at their daugh ter's misconduct. On Saturday morning the child was found dead in bed by its mother, who, it appears, was unconscious of its fate. During the absence of Mr. and Mrs. Gregory at Chesterfield market, the constable of Calver went to their house, and ordered that the child should not be interred without a coroner's inquest being held on the body. The unfortunate girl was much affected on this being made known to her. She said the world would cast reflections on her concerning its death, and her mind was wrought up to the desperate consolation of committing suicide. About half-past eight she was down stairs, and making herself gruel. She then went up stairs, telling a sister to fetch the candle when she knocked at the floor. Her parents soon afterwards heard her scream, and immediately proceeded to her room, and discovered that she had cut her throat. She had thrown a sheet over otire.

An inquest wt.s held on Monday, and verdicts returned to the effect that the child died from natural causes, an d t h at i ts mother destroyed herself du ring a fit of temporary insanity. The coroner severely censured Richard Wilde, the person who the wretched girl stated was the father of her last child, for his heart, less conduct,—Derbyshire Courier, THREH THOUSAND POUNDS SToLEx.—One of the most daring and extensive robberies whieh has occurred in Yorkshire for many years was on Thursday last com mitted in the piece -room in Bradford, belonging to Messrs. Birchall and Sons, merchants, of Leeds. It appears that Messrs. Birchall brought with them on Thursday's market upwards of £3OOO, wrapped up in a parcel, which one of the partners locked up in a drawer until he went to his dinner, leaving a young man in the room. The man im mediately after went to his own dinner, leaving the key in the door, in the expectation of the cart arriving in the meantime with some pieces. Mr. Birchall himself re turned in a short time, and found that the lock of the drawer had been picked, and the money taken away. The warehouseman was taken into custody on suspicion, but no case was made out against him, and he was discharged on bail. He is the son of a poor, but honest labourer at Wibsey. It is a matter of surprise that so large a sum of money should have been left by Mr. Birchall, under such circumstances. ALARMING FIRE AND Loss OF LIFE.—On the even ing of Monday last, about six o'clock, two boys were sent to draw a flagon of naptha from a cask on the ground floor of the weaving shop adjoining the Union Mills, near Douglas, Isle of Man. By some mischance the spi rit caught fire, and the boys having given the alarm, the three partners, Mr. William Dalrymple, Mr. Thomas Maltby, and Mr. James Kelly, hastened to the spot, and every attempt, without effect, was made to extinguish the flames. Ultimately the cask exploded, at the same time forcibly closing the door, and confining the whole of the parties engaged in the attempt to extinguish the flames within the room. Fortunately the door was forced open, and all the parties, with two exceptions, escaped. Mr. Dalrymple and Mr. Kelly were severely, though not dan gems'y injured. We regret, however, to state that two of the parties, Mr. Thomas Nlaltby, and Thomas Quayle, the foreman, perished in the flames. Their bodies were not found till next morning, and then they could only be identified by part of a watch being found beside the re mains of Mr. Maltby, and part of a wooden-soled clog be side those of Mr. Quayle. The whole of the weaving shop was burnt to the ground.
