The plaintiff is a merchant living in New Park-road, Clapham, London, and the action was brought to put down the nuisance created by the continual ringing of a set of bells on the premises of a Roman Catholic Society called Redemptionist Fathers, of whom the defendant was the head. This decision has shown that a nuisance is not the less a nuisance because the perpetrator of it fancies that it is part of his religious duty to commit it. DEATH FROM FIGHTING, NEAR DRIFFIELD.—Two men, strangers to the locality, but known as Thomas Brocklesby, alias " Shepherd Tom," and " Ginger," had been working some time among the farmers in the neigh bourhood of Langtoft, in the East Riding of York. Gin ger, it appears, was of a very quarrelsome disposition, and Brocklesby and he met at a public-house on the 4th inst., where they quarrelled, but were parted. Some days after wards they met in the same place, and Ginger said he would fight anybody in the room. Brocklesby accepted the challenge, fought several rounds, and in the last was thrown by Ginger, who fell upon him. He thee refused to fight any more, and, having washed himself, sat down and fell asleep. About two hours afterwards he was ob served to he frothing at the mouth, and quite insensible, and he died on the following evening. An inquest was held upon the body on Friday last, when a verdict of man slaughter was returned against Ginger, who made his escape on learning the fatal result of the fight, and is still at large. Deceased was nearly fifty years old, while Gin ger was not more than twenty-five. a LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.—The half yearly meeting took place on Friday, at the Euston-square Station, Mr. Glyn in the chair. - The chairman deemed the accounts the best ever presented to the shareholders, and defended the course pursued by the directors in hav ing recourse to the reserve fund to increase the dividend. The receipts had increased largely, and the receipts from the Exhibition traffic did not operate on the accounts. After referring to the various negotiations they had had with different lines, the chairman said they should always be ready to enter into fair and equitable understandings, but they would not shrink from entering into compulsory competition, if supported and encouraged by the share holders. In reply to Mr. Ray, the chairman said they were not prepared to take any steps in the audit question. In answer to Mr. Locke, M.P., respecting the Dudley and Wolverhampton line, Mr. Glyn said the powers of the company had expired. Mr. Locke announced his intention to renew the bill next session, and recommended agitation on the subject. The chairman then moved the adoption of the report, which was agreed to. After some routine financial business, the meeting broke up. EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF ARSON.—Adonijah Edwd. Jordan was convicted, at the Gloucester assizes, of wil fully setting fire to the house of his mother, Mary Jor dan, at Wootton-under-Edge, on the 7th July last. Mrs. Jordan was nearly eighty years of age, and occupied a cottage at Wootton-under-Edge. Her husband had been separated from her, and lived in another cottage at a short distance. Until a recent period the prisoner had not lived with his mother. He had been paying his addresses to a young woman, but the mother having told the young woman that her son was in bad health she broke off the acquaintance. This incensed the prisoner, who insisted that his mother should give him up a bed which he claimed as the gift of his father. The result was that the old woman went on that night (July Stb) to sleep at a neighbour's, and in the night the prisoner, with the assistance of his father, took away the bed. Through the intervention of a magistrate the bed was restored to the old woman next day, and the prisoner was heard to utter threats against his mother. About twelve o'clock that night the old woman's cottage was found to be in flames, and it was with much difficulty that she was extri cated from the burning premises, being in a state of total insensibility. Her cottage and the adjoining ole were burnt down to the ground. The prisoner was t 'aced on that night to the cottage, before the outbreak of the fire. Sentence of death was recorded, his lordship intimating that he should recommend a commutation of the sentence to transportation. MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF A YOUNG LADY.—On Thurs day last an inquest was held at Bisi:opsteignton, Devon shire, on the body of a young lady, Miss Jane Emily Wyse, who was found dead in her room at the house of a Mr. and Mrs. Hele, on her return from an archery meet ing, as long ago as the 14th of May last. On the day after her death the coroner attended and made inquiries, when Mr. Gors, a surgeon, having stated his opinion to be that the young lady died in a fit, it was thought neces sat yto hold an inquest. Since that time suspicions hav ing arisen that she died from the effects of poison, and her uncle, Major Ellison, of Boulton-hall, Lincolnshire, having written a letter to Mr. Hele, declining to receive that gentleman and his lady as visitors at his house, Mr. Hele, to remove any suspicions, thought it desirable that an inquest should be held. The body was, consequently, exhumed, and Mr. Herapath, of Bristol, employed at the investigation before the coroner's jury. Mr. Herapath gave it as his opinion that the death of the young lady was occasioned by prussic acid. Wiinesses were examined to show that she had been in the habit of using essential oil of almonds, and a letter, which was found in her desk after her decease, put in evidence, in which were the words, " I have thought it not improbable that I might die suddenly," and requesting certain trifles to be dis tributed to her friends. The jury returned a verdict that she came to her death by taking essential oil of almonds, but whether with the intention of putting an end to her life or not they could not say. VIOLENT THUNDERSTORMS AT BARNSLEY AND SHEF FIELD.—At ten minutes to four o'clock, p.m.. on Wed nesday last, these towns and neighbourhood were visited by a most dreadful thunderstorm, accompanied with ter rific flashes of lightning, with hail and rain. The hail stones were of an immense size, and must have done considerable damage to the growing crops in the vicinity. The rain fell in torrents for about an hour, and did con siderable damage by flooding a number of houses and weavers' shops, which were from two feet to three feet deep in water, on the low east side of the pig market, spoiling work in the looms and the provisions of many poor families. The lightning and thunder continued with little intermission until seven o'clock. The hail covered the roads about half an inch thick, at Royston, one hour and a half after the hail storm. A thunder-storm of an alarmingly violent nature visited the locality of Sheffield on Wednesday afternoon, about five o'clock, and con tinued for about an hour and a quarter. During the greater part of this time the vivid flashes of lightning and the deafening 'peals of thunder followed each other with most unusual rapidity ; whilst the heavy drops of rain, mingled with huge hailstones, came down in torrents. We have not for a long time witnessed a more violent warring of the elements. The Crookes Moor Work house, which is situate in the township of Nether Hallam, in the borough of Sheffield, occupied by the family of Jonathan Dearden, was struck by one of the most vivid flashes of the electric fluid, which penetrated from the roof of the ground floor, destroying everything in its course ; tearing the plaster and ceiling in the kitchen, and destroying the furniture. Mr. and Mrs. Dearden, who were sitting in the kitchen at the time, were not injured, but the building was shaken to its foundation. SUSPECTED POISONING IN ESSEX.—Another Case sus pected to be connected with that hideous system of secret poisoning which has thrown so dark a shade over the moral character of the county has occurred at Vange, a small rural parish lying upon the water-side. near Stan ford-le-Hope. The supposed victim is Isaac Jervis, a labourer about 36 years of age. On the morning of Mon day, the 26th of May, he left his cottage at Vange, ap parently in his usual state of health. In the course of the morning he appears to have been seized with sudden ill ness, and about 11 o'clock be returned home complaining of great pain and thirst, and was attacked with sickness. He lay for nearly a week in excruciating agony, and died about noon on the following Saturday. The body was in due course buried. Other circumstances connecting themselves with the nature of his illness and death, pro duced dark suspicions and general whispers of foul play ; and these rather strengthening than diminishing as time went on, some parties in the palish applied to the coroner, to have the body exhumed and hold an inquest. That gentleman, however, from the nature of the information first conveyed to him, did not feel justified in adopting this course, but a requisition reaching him signed by many of the respectable inhabitants of the parish, he felt it his bounden duty to proceed, and accordingly issued his order, addressed: to the minister, churchwardens, and overseers of Vange, for the body to be disinterred. This was done on Tuesday last ; and a jury having been sworn and hav ing viewed the body, which lay at the church, the evidence was proceeded with. Witnesses were examined to prove that the deceased, after he was seized with illness, suffered much from sickness, and was in great pain. Mr. T. M. Parrot, surgeon, of Stanford-le-Hope, described the symptoms and the sufferings of the deceased, and said since the body had been disinterred he had made a post mortem examination, but from the appearance he was unable to discover sufficient to account for death. This being the case, the jury, as reports were still in general circulation that the death was the effect of poison, expressed a wish that the stomach should be analysed. The coroner accordingly adjourned the inquest, and the stomach and its contents, together with the liver, were forwarded to Professor Taylor for analysation.—Chelms ford Chronicle. THE HAIR.—LOST AND RESTORED.—Gentlemen, — Some three months since, finding my hair falling off by nearly handsful, and my head approaching baldness, in tact being quite bald at the crown and on the sides, I was induced, through my hairdresser, Mr...-Beach, of this place, to try your BALM OF COLUMBIA, and after persevering with four bottles, according to your directions, I found a new crop produced, whiclihas now restored my head to its former appearance. As I had apprehended a total loss of my hair, I feel it,due to the virtues of your Balm of Columbia thus publicly to bear my testimony; Mr. Beach, who recommended me, is the same who used it successfully in Mr. Wilson's case, whose testimony you have lately published. Mr. B. is a Lymington man : I am also a native of that place, though for the last ten years in practice here as a solicitor. Yours, &c., 11. RICE. Newport, Isle of Wight, Sept, 6, 1848. To Messrs.

At Norwich, on Saturday, Henry Groom was executed for the wilful murder of John Ayton, who was shot while proceeding to pay some labourers of the Earl of Leicester. It is reported that he has made a confession. Lord Mandeville, M.P. for Bewdley, met with a severe accident, about a fortnight ago, at the Countess of Jer sey's. A heavy candelabrum fell upon his lordship's head, and injured him so much that abstinence from noise and excitement was for some time strongly enjoined. The Preston Pilot says that, on Saturday evening week, the persons waiting the arrival of the last train at the Blackpool station, were amazed to see an ass, fully caparisoned with saddle and bridle, emerge from a second class carriage. _ In consequence of the drunken and riotous conduct of the lower classes in York, the Lord Mayor of that city has been compelled to order the police to prevent their congregating in the public streets. During a visit a few days since some police-officers were nearly murdered. Mrs. Janet Munro, said to be the wife of a military officer now abroad, who rode to the office in her own carriage, was fined 40s. by the presiding magistrate, at the Marylebone Police-office, London, on Wednesday last, for being drunk and disorderly.

WEST RIDING CLAIMS.—We are glad to observe from the list as published by the overseer within the Dent polling district, that the Conservatives are likely to have a considerable majority over their opponents in new claims.— Westmorland Gazette. As a punishment of the people of Tamworth for their interference with the late Protectionist banquet in that town, the agriculturists there have re-established a mar ket formerly held at Polesworth, four miles from Tam worth. The re-inauguration dinner was attended by 120 persons. On the 12th instant the ship-yard of one of the largest builders in France, at Havre, suffered greatly from fire. The loss sustained, as far as appears at present, is about 400,000 f. The proprietor was insured for a portion of the damage, but two vessels which were destroyed were not included in the policy. A practice common in poor lodging-houses, of stretch ing a stick with lines from a window for drying clothes — called " the St. Giles's laundry," has been attended with a fatal consequence in Brick-lane, London. While a woman was leaning out to put clothes on the line, she fell and her skull was fractured on the edge of a water-butt. The convict, Sarah Barber, convicted at the recent Not otinghamshire assizes of poisoning her husband, at East wood, on the 29th of March last, was on Thursday respited during her Majesty's pleasure. Circumstances tending to show that she was an accessory only after the fact have led to this favourable change in her behalf. On Saturday evening last the town of Llanelly was thrown into a most painful state of excitement in conse quence of the death, by drowning, on the sands near that place, of two little boys, aged respectively 10 and 13 years, sons of the Rev. D. Rees, Capel Alce. It was six o'clock when they left home, and before seven the rumour had reached town that they were drowned. One evening last week a woman, named M`Laren, while labouring under delirium, caused by excessive drink ing, leaped from the top story of a house in the Canon gate, Edinburgh. The neighbours hastened to the spot, expecting to find nothing but a mangled corpse; but, on examination, it was found that she had escaped with a broken arm and leg. and she is now lying in the infirmary. Mr. John Swift, the aurist, of Newsome, near Hudders field, died last week, aged 66, from the bursting of a blood vessel. The accident arose from his repelling a dog, which attacked him near his house, when returning home from Sheffield, on Wednesday, the 30th July. He was better on Saturday, but relapsed, and died after a very severe illness. CHARGE OF CONSPIRACY AND CHEATING AT CARDS AGAINST "JOHNNY" BROOME AND OTHERS. John Broome, the ex-pugilist, John James, of London, and Charles Staden, of Brighton, have been committed f or conspiring together to cheat and defraud Wm. Hamp, a young gentleman twenty-one years of age, from Hereford shire, of fifteen sovereigns, ten half-sovereigns, one half crown, and three bills of exchange, value £lOO each. At the Bridgewater assizes, Mr. Francis, a surgeon, sued Messrs. Robert and John Leach, attorneys, of Mat_ lock, for damages sustained in consequence of the negli gence of the defendants as his professional advisers. It appeared that the defendants had left out of the conditions of sale of some property the fact of the lunacy of a lady who had willed the property to the plaintiff. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, with £250 damages. An old woman named Mary Oliver, many years resident in the village of Shadforth, Durham, died last week at the advanced age of 101 years. The previous death in that village, only three weeks since, was that of an old man of the name of William Spears, who was in his 95th year ; and, in the same parish, there is now living a farmer, in full possession of his faculties, who is in his 99th year. On Saturday last, James Kershaw, aged forty-five, cooper, of Dewsbury, died in a fit, brought on by exces sive drinking for three months. On the Wednesday before the inquest, about twelve o'clock. he had another fit, which resulted in his death. It appeared from the evidence that he was inebriated at the time he was seized. The jury returned a verdict of " Died in a convulsion fit, from the effects of excessive drinking." A train on the Great Western Railway filled with persons who had been at the Great Exhibition, on Sunday morning last, came to a standstill on the line between Bath and Bristol, owing to want of water or coke or some mishap to the engine. Whilst standing it was run into by a return engine and tender from Bath and about 20 of the passengers were injured by the concussion but happily none of them seriously. James Wailing, a man about 60 years of age, lately discharged from her Majesty's navy, with a pension, attempted, on Tuesday last, to murder a woman, 19 years of age, named Martha Moyse, with whom he had been living at Ipswich. He inflicted some wounds on her left jaw with a razor, but she got away from him before he injured any vital part. An alarm was given, but before he could be secured he cut his own throat in such a way as to cause his death three hours afterwards. The Globe says that since Sir John Romilly took his seat in the Rolls Court, on the 15th of April last, he has cleared off every portion of the business of the court. He has disposed of 90 causes and re-hearings, 101 further directions, pleas, demurrers, and exceptions, 25 claims, 3 special cases, 160 petitions, besides short causes and con sent petitions. Judgment has been given in every instance with a single exception, in which it was thought that by delaying a decision the parties ma) be brought to an amicable arrangement. We lately copied from the Birmingham Journal the account of a swindler who has been defrauding several la dies in that neighbourhood, by advertising that a situation as family governess was to be had, with a salary of £lOO a-year, and all the attractions of a tour through Italy and the Levant. The governess is to go with the family, but it is a continually demanded preliminary that she must deposit £65 in her new employer's hands, by way of pre paying her travelling expenses. We observe the same knavery has again appeared at Worcester, so we repeat the warning, —the offer is a snare.—Manchester Examiner. FALL OF A DvEnousE.—On Wednesday morning, between one and two o'clock, the roof and a portion of the walls of Mr. Brayshaw's dyehouse, East-street, Le e d s , fell with a tremendous crash, greatly alarming the persons in the immediate neighbourhood, and doing considerable damage to the cloth in the process of dyeing.

We cannot note any improvement in the demand for Beef: sales of middling brands are made with difficulty, but the finer sorts continue to be firmly held. The Government navy con tract is advertised, for 5,550 tierces and 3,530 barrels, to be tendered for on the 25th proximo. In American Pork there are few transactions to report; the stock being unusually low, the attention of the dealers is turned to Hamburg, Danzig, French, and Irish cure. For the government navy, 10,360 tierces and 5,650 barrels are required. There has been a fair country demand for Bacon, at full prices. Hama are rather more inquired for, without leading to much business. Shoulders are also in better request. The sales of lard reach fifty tons, at full prices, and the market closes firm, with very little offering. For Cheese, at low prices, there has been a better inquiry than for some time past. Grease Butter has become scarce, but the season is nearly over. LIVERPOOL AGRICULTURAL PRODUCE MARKET, AUGUST 16. s. d. s. d. s. d. s. d.

As we have before stated, the inquiry is unusually brisk for all numbers of low and middle water twist, both warp and bundle, the prices of which are exceedingly firm at the quotations of Tuesday last. In some cases, prices have hardened a little for this class of spinning since Tuesday. There is no change to report in India yarns ; they remain steady, with a moderate inquiry. Fine yarns, 50's warps and upwards, are in fair demand for the hessian market, as are also fine wefts I2o's in hanks. In cloth, prices are firm at last week's quotations, and stocks very light. With reference to descriptions most in demand, manufacturers are asking, and in some cases getting, rather better prices than they did last week. This is more particularly the case as regards T cloths, the demand for which at present exceeds the power of production. Altogether, the market maintains a most healthy appearance, and the great majority of producers are engaged for several weeks forward. ROCHDALE.—There has been an average demand for flannels this week, but chiefly in the lower qualities. The wool trade has been dull. The colonial wool sales in London now being held, and an advance being fully established, the holders are not anxious to quit their present stock at former prices. MAccLEsFIELD. — Since our last report our warehouses have been canvassed by several buyers from London and Manches ter. but up to the present little business has been negotiated.

LIVERPOOL COTTON' MARKET, AUGUST 15. In the early part of the week the market was rather irregular, giving buyers a trifling advantage; but during the past t.c, or three days, although there hc.s.been no activity, holders gener ally have exhibited less desire to sell, and last Friday's quota tions cannot now be altered.

The brilliant weather and bright prospects of harvest, which prevailed throughout the past week and continued until the night of Tuesday last, were then completely reversed here by frequent heavy rains and a close sultry atmosphere, during the whole of Wednesday and part of yesterday; to-day, how ever, is fine, with a brisk drying breeze, and thus far little or no injury is apparent. Except Malt, of which fair supplies come forward, the receipts coastwise and from Ireland since Monday last have been small; from America, France, the Bal tic. and the Danube, however, we have to note a liberal supply of Wheat ; from various parts abroad a tolerably good accession of Beans and Indian Corn, and from the United States 31,781 barrels of Flour, but noo sacks only from France. Occasional transactions in Flour at our last quotations, and sales of seve ral cargoes of Indian Corn afloat, form the principal features of the trade with us from the close of Tuesday's market to this date; all other articles having remained nominally unvaried. Having very few home and country millers at our Corn Ex change to-day, and a general disposition evinced to remain inactive, sales of Wheat, even in retail parcels, were scarcely feasible, and had buyers come forward somewhat lower terms would have been conceded ; the business done, however, was so extremely insignificant altogether, that we leave our last quotations for all descriptions of this Grain nominally unal tered. The arrivals of States and Canadian Flour, though large, were met by an improved demand from consumers, and the rates of Tuesday fully maintained; prime marks of French and other kinds remaining steady in value. Barley, Beans, and Pease, exciting little notice, were th e t urn c h eaper. Malt, , and rather de ar e r .

Wakefield dull yesterday. Our mar ket to-day is perfectly quiet, and we repeat the prices of our last—which, in the absence of any amount of business whereon to found quotations, may be considered as representing about the value of the best and freshest qualities of each article. Anything old or out of condition is perfectly unsaleable at any fair pricc. PRESTON, AUGUST 16.—We had a limited supply of English Wheat at our Corn-Exchange to-day, but it was fully equal to the demand, which ruled dull, at a reduction of 6d. per windle. Foreign nominally depressed in value. Flour 6d. per pack cheaper, and a slow sale. Oats were little noticed. Oatmeal in moderate retail request, and the rates of this day se'nniolit tolerably well sustained. Ne new produ ce at hand. WAKEFIELD, AUGUST Is.—The weather during the present week has been changeable, and not altogether favourable for the crops or the progress of harvest : this has a tendency to give a little more firmness to the trade, and check further de cline in prices. There is a good arrival of Wheat, and a steady sale for good fresh qualities at the prices of last Friday. No change in the value of Oats and Shelling, but the demand very limited : Beans fully as dear. Grinding Barley rather lower. NEWCASTLE-O; -TYNE, AUGUST ' 16.—Thy supply of Wheat from the farmers to-day was small, and the arrivals coastwise and from abroad are to a limited extent only; taking into account the decline in the value of Wheat at most of the principal markets, and splendid weather for harvest operations in the south, a fair consumptive demand for Wheat was experi enced to-das, at rates fully equal to last Tuesday; but the reduction since this Clay se nnight is fully Is. per quarter on all descriptions of quality. Grinding Barley a fair sale at late rates. In Pease or Beans hardly anything passing. English and Scotch Oats brought quite as much money as last week, Foreign, unless of fine quality, difficult to quit, although not actually lower. In the value of Flour no change can be reported. CORK, AUGUST 16.—We never had a duller Flour market than this week ; prices are only nominal, and the tendency downwards. There is a small business in Wheat at prices in favour of buyers. Indian Corn continues neglected. WISBECEI, AUGUST 16.—There haB been a small market to day, and only a few samples of Wheat offering, with a slow trade at about last week's rates. Nothing doing in Beans and Oats. BELFAST, AUGUST 15.—The weather during the last week has been warm, but showery, and the crops are rapidly ripen ing. The disease in the Potato becomes more and more general. and our market is largely supplied, at pi ices varying from 2s. 2d. to 3s. 3d. per cwt. The supplies of farmers' grain continue trifling. At this day's market, Oats and Oatmeal were in dull demand, at rather higher prices. Other articles as last reported. Indian Corn was in small demand at our quotations. DUBLIN, AUGUST 15.—Flie weather since Tuesday has been rather unsettled, but this day it is fine. We have again to re port a very dull market, and an extreme difficulty in effecting sales of old Grain, with the exception of best feeding Oats, for which even a small advance was realised. The quantity of new Grain increased, and sold as follows :—Bere at Bs. 6d. to 9s. 3d. ; Oats at lls. to 128. ; and Rapeseed, 17s. to 18s. 6d.

John Williams deposed that, on the 30th June, 1845, the prisoner was married to one Ann Pitt, at Holy Trinity Church, in the parish of St. Philip and St. James, Bristol. Eliza Beek, the prisoner's second wife, deposed that he married her at Temple Church, Bristol, in Dec. last. She had heard he was a married man, but under stood that his wife had two husbands, and that, therefoTes he was at liberty to marry a second wife. Another wit. ness corroborated the fact of the second marriage, and constable proved a statement by the prisoner to the effect that he should not have married Beek, but that his first wife was a bad one. This the prisoner now repeated on his trial; and added, that Pitt ill-treated his mother. The jury found that the prisones was guilty, but that h e was obliged to get married a second time in consequence of the bad conduct of his first wife.
