THE COUNTESS OF GORLITZ'S MURDER (From Galignani's Messenger.) Most of our readers must remember the circumstances connected with the death at Darmstadt of the Countess of Gorlitz, and the suspicion which was attached for some time to the Count, her husband, who holds the post of Chamberlain to the Grand Duke. This suspicion was caused principally by the earnestness with which the Count attempted to prevent a dissection of the body, but that was fully accounted for subsequently by evidence showing that the Countess had so great a horror of dis section that she had solicited her husband frequently to promise that, in the event of her dying before him, her remains should not be exposed to such a proceeding, and had made this a special injunction in her will. If any sus picion, however, had continued to attach itself to the Count, it has been fully removed by a trial of the mur derer at Darmstadt, which, after lasting more than a fort night, has just been terminated. It may he necessary, even .for those who paid attention to the case when it was before the public more than a year ago, to relate the lead ing facts briefly. The Countess, who was in possession of a handsome fortune independently of that of her hus band, was a woman of unbounded charity, but of an eccentric character. She had for some years resided in apartments of the house separated from those of her hus band, with whom, however, she was on the best terms, visiting him from time to time, and receiving his visits. She had always a considerable surer of money in her secre taire, and had also a rich collection of jewels. She had caused extra locks to be placed on her secretaire, her drawers, and the doors of her rooms, and opened the outer door of her apartment to her husband and the con fidential servants. One evening, on the return of the Count from the palace of the Grand Duke, where he had been dining, he went, as usual, to see the Countess, but could not obtain admittance, and soon afterwards an alarm was raised that a fire had broken out in the apart ment of the Countess. A locksmith was sent for; the .outer door was broken open ; the secretaire in the sitting room of the Countess was on fire, and she was found lying dead on the floor, with her body partly consumed. At this time no suspicion was entertained of her having been murdered. It was at first supposed that the secretaire had taken fire from the bongie ; but, subsequently, as this alone could not account for the carbonization of a part of the head and body of the Countess, it was imagined that she had perished from spontaneous combustion. When suspicion fell upon the Count it arose entirely from the anxiety that he displayed to prevent an autopsy, from which it was imagined that he might have administered poison, and then attempted to destroy the body to pre vent detection. Nothing but the absence of motive for the crime and the well-known affection which had sub sisted between him and the deceased prevented his being sent to trial. Some time had elapsed, and this horrible affair was still involved in mystery, when circumstances occurred to throw suspicion upon the valet of the Count, John Stauff, who occasionally waited upon the Countess. It was proved that on the evening of the calamity, and whilst the Count was at the palace of the Grand Duke, he had on various pretexts induced the other servants of the household to go out, and remained alone in the house for nearly two hours, with the exception of a visit to the palace to ascertain whether the Count was there, for the evident purpose of convincing himself that he could commit his intended crime with impunity. Another circumstance to excite suspicion was that the keys of the outer doors of the apartment of the Countess were not to be found, thus proving that some person in the house must have used and then concealed them. It was supposed that money and jewellery belonging to the Countess had been re moved, but of this there was no positive proof in the early part of the investigation. A considerable quantity of jewellery remained, and the count was not able to say what was missing. When Stauff had been s - 'steel dr. new circumstances came to light. It was prove d that V he had sent articles of jewellery to his father, Henry Stauff, and that he had charged his brother James to bury some jew ellery at the foot of a tree. Many of the articles found there were proved to have been the property of the C tess. Henry and James Stauff were therefore al_ rested, and the three were brought last month for trial before the tribunal of Darmstadt. The evidence on this occasion left no doubt of the guilt of John Stauff, and there could be no doubt that his father and brother knew that he had obtained the property by foul means, but ,oun- so ar- there was nothing td show that they had been directly or indirectly parties to the murder. It was also proved that, after the murder of the Countess, John Stauff had pur chased some verdigris, and mixed it with some s a u ce - awn was being prepared in the kitchen for the Count, with the intention of poisoning him. The medical evi dence at the trial was curious and interesting. Some of the most eminent _physicians of Germany, and Baron Liebig, the celebrated chymist, were desired by the court to give their opinion as to the way in which the death of the Countess had been caused—whether she had been burned intentionally or accidentally, and whether sponta neous combustion ih her case was probable. The medical men performed several experiments on dead bodies ex posed to fire, placing burning furniture, and even a fac simile of the secretaire, in a closed room, to ascertain whether the extensive carbonization of the body of the Countess could have been produced by accident, and they reported positively to the contrary. On the question of spontaneous combustion, Baron Liebig, and the other scientific men who joined in the report, declared not only that it was impossible in the case of the Countess, but that spontaneous combustion of the human body in any ease is impossible. They declared that the ordinary be lief on this subject was a delusion ; that they had care fully examined the evidence in all cases of spontaneous combustion that had been reported, and found it all so defective as not to weigh for an instant against their con viction of the physical impossibility of such an occurrence., The only point on which the medical men and chymists differed—but that was of no importance as regarded the charge against John Stauff—was as regarded the degree of danger to human life in the verdigris introduced by him into the sauce intended for the count. One chymist de clared, for instance, that if he had taken the same, it would not have injured him seriously, as the strength of the verdigris had been in a great degree carried off by ebullition ; another, on the contrary, declared, as the result of several experiments, that the strength of the poison was materially increased by the ebullition. The whole trial was remarkable for the skill and impartiality shown by the president, and the anxiety which was evinced by the court to elicit the truth, without having recourse to any of those objectionable means which have some times been witnessed in the courts of the continent. John Stauff was found guilty of the murder, and sentenced to imprisonment for life. His father and brother were found ' l egree, and only sentenced to a few guilty in a mino months' imprisonment etneral I+lEqrliant). Mr. Robert Stephenson, M.P... was, on Thursday elected a Fellow of the Royal Society. The Huddersfield Chronicle describes a goose's egg, which weighed upwards of thirteen ounces. FREE TRA DE.—A lively calf, without disease, was sold in Saffron Walden market, on Saturday, at is. 9d. A LARGE PIKE.—On Saturday, Mr. John Enock caught a pike in the tiver Thames, near Windsor, weigh. ing upwards of 221bs. The Earl of Balcarres, who last year established his title to the earldom of Crawford, has now claimed the ancient dukedom of Montrose.

Louisa Susan Hartley is in custody, in London, charged with having attempted to poison her father, a porter, by mixing arsenic in his coffee. The corn mill of Mr. Martin, at Cadley Brook, near Preston, was washed away on Monday, by the stream swelling through the heavy rains. The Manchester people are trying to establish a homoe opathic dispensary on a large scale. The Earl and Coun tess of Wilton are liberal subscribers. A superb chair, richly carved and ornamented, and formed of bog oak found on the Marquis of Downshire's estate, has been made at Lisburn for the Queen. A steamer, which arrived in London last week from Antwerp, brought twenty-six Belgian horses, consigned for sale in the metropolis. A BREATIIE BEFORE BItEAKFAST.—The space to be travelled by persons visiting the grand industrial exhibi tion in 1851 will be seven miles and a half. The Nottinghamshire Guardian states that Mr. Tan ner, of Buckholt, has lost nearly 220 sheep, which had eaten sprouted corn. It does not appear probable that Government will pro duce any measure this session for the better management of Savings Banks. A desire for emigration has set in at the Isle of Man. Above a hundred young persons left last week intending to go to America. The government sale of bark in the Forest of Dean was at prices varying froml.£3 155. to £4 ss. per ton; which was ss. per ton under the prices of last year. Air. Brotherton, of the National Provincial Bank of England, was found drowned on the 17th instant at New port, Montgomeryshire. - One hundred and thirty-three " Liberals" voted against the repeal of the taxes on knowledge on Tuesday last. The majority only numbered 190 altogether. The life of a locomotive is estimated at one hundred and fifty thcusand miles; the value of a first-rate engine, £2,500. It follows that every mile it runs costs 4d. At Bow -street, on Tuesday, the H,onourablihenry Plunkett, after being locked up for the night, was fined £5 for being drunk and disorderly, and assaulting an officer in the execution of his duty. Two lads, named Douglas and Chester, about twelve and fourteen years of age, are in custody in Manchester, charged with stabbing and assaulting Samuel Warburton, a youth about the same age. The Hull public baths, erected by the bankers, mer chants, and gentry of that town, in elegant style, a few years ago, are to be closed in a few days, for want of sup port. The largest number of post letters ever delivered to one individual occurred on the morning of the Bth April, when the editor of the Pandit/ Friend received one thou sand six hundred and eighteen pre-paid communications. The vessel Earl Belcarras, which has arrived in London from Bombay, has brought 5336 bales cotton, as a portion of her carko, consigned to order. This is a remarkably l arge and-important arrival of cotton, from the East Indies. At one of those dangerous sports called steeple chases, an unfortunate jockey was thrown from his horse, on Wednesday last, , in the county of Waterford, and killed on the spot. Sir George Grey has introduced a most important bill, empowering the Board of Heslth to establish a general public cemetery, pursuant to the recommendations of their late report. It is understood to be in contemplation to erect a monastery on an extensive scale near the Roman Catholic Chapel in Rugby, land having been purchased for that purpose. A young man named Hill, living at Harley, near Much Wenlock, accidentally shot his sweetheart on Saturday week, with a walking-stick gun which he was handling carelessly, not knowing it was loaded. The postmaster-general has appointed a son of Mr. Rowland Hill, aged 17, as an additional clerk to that gen tleman, at a salary of £9O per annum, with a prospective increase, according to length of service up to £5OO a-year. There was a crowded meeting at the Town-hall, Old ham, on Wednesday night, to originate a freehold land society, on the principles of the Birmingham scheme, for enfranchising working men. On Sunday week, a gentleman, on coming out of Christ l i Church, Salford, had his pocket picked of a small black pocket book, containing a promissory note for £l,OOO, a £25 dividend warrant, and various memoranda. The whole of the colliers in the Aberdare Valley —or rather, as many of them as the masters would take into employment—have signed the agreement and returned to work. The Duchess of Or leans and her two children ar shortly expected in this country. During their stay they will reside in the house belonging to Lady Byron, at Esher, close to Claremont. Immense quantities of starfish have recently floated into Morecambe Bay, and hundreds of farmers' carts have been employed in carting them away, as they are consi dered an invaluable manure for potatoes. The two Irishmen accused of the murder of the old woman at Newport have confessed their guilt. One of them knocked her down—the other broke her head with a stone, and then robbed her. A convent has been established in Charlotte-street, Glasgow, under th e su p er i n t en d ence o f a M adame Courier, and on Sunday last three ladies—two of them Irish and one French—took the veil in St. Andrew's Chapel. There lives in Edinburgh a lady, in the use of all her mental faculties, whose brother, by the same mother, died 122 years ago, in the 14th year of his age. She is upwards of ICO years old. The brother died in April, 1728. On the 6th ultimo, a collier in the employ of Mr. E. Radcliff. of Stannington, planted a root of rhubarb in the pit, thirty-seven yards below the surface, and on the 9th instant he cut six or peven stalks about twenty inches in length. While a " bank girl," named Martin, was pushing an empty skip near the mouth of a coal-pit, in the neigh bourhood of Wolverhampton, on Friday week, she acci dentally slipped, fell down the shaft, and was killed by the fall. After the launch of a ship at Arbroath, yesterday week, another vessel, which was on the patent slip, came down in consequence of one of the bolts giving way, and was only stopped when the cradle grounded ; but fortunately no damage was done. GAs.The Chester Gas Company offered to light the Chester Railway Station for 4s. 6d per 1000 cubic feet. This not meeting the views of the Railway Companies, they now manufacture their own gas at 2s. per 1000 cubic feet ! The bullion in both departments of the bank of Eng land has decreased from £16,935,762 to £16,759,035, being a difference of £176,721. The paper in actual cir culation had increased from £20,469,409 to £21,199,538, being a difference of £730,129. VERY LIKE A WHALE.—The story about the sea serpent, circulated in the recent American papers, turns out to be founded on nothing more than the fact that a troop of whales had been seen, which are said to have had all the appearance of a single animal, At Newcastle police court, on Thursday, a number of parties were fined one pound each for cock fighting. The informations were laid by the London Society for prevent ing cruelty to animals. It was the first offence or the parties would have been more severely dealt with. On Thursday, as Mr. George M`Kay, gardener to Vis count Doneraile, was in the act of discharging a gun in the garden, at Doneraile, it un f or t una t e l y b urst • n• or rather fractureC lis skull so severely tne breech flew out, anu that he died in a few hours. Last week a young man, named Thomas George, about 18 years of tlge, was discovered lying dead in a bar , 7 sTunney, n- '• .e.. w, _a his throat cut, his skull frac. tured, and his pockets rifled. A labourer has been appre hended on suspicion of the murder. The Daily News understands that Sir R. Peel had a lengthened interview of many hours with her Majesty, on a certain day last week, and that Sir Robert called at Apsley House, after having visited Buckingham Palace. MOLD.—What is termed " rearing" the Alarket Hall, at the Cross, took place at the Star Inn, on Wednesday evening week, at seven o'clock ; 106, including the work men, sat down to an excellent supper and a plentiful sup ply of cwrw da. During the past week, the divers have been engaged at the wreck of the Royal Adelaide steamer. Their efforts to recover the cargo are not attended with much success. On Sunday last, a few cart-loads of hides, wool, &c., were landed at Margate. As two men, three wDmen, and six children, were crossing the river Don, on Tuesday, in a boat, they were overturned and precipitated into the river. Two men plunged in, and rescued all, except two of the children, a son and daughter of John Dawson, of Sheffield. A sale of stock bred on the famous farm of Earl Grey, at Howielc, took place a few days since. The prices were from thirty to forty per cent. below what the noble owner realised twelve months since. The noble lord must be very good humoured if these prices do not open his eyes, especially as they are going lower. FIRE.—A calamitous fire happened on Friday at the oil and rosin factory of Flux and Co., Lambeth, and almost the whole of the factory and machinery was destroyed. Eight poor families have been rendered houseless and have lost their furniture. Some of the men were very much injured by the boiling over of the rosin. Last week, three successive and very numerously attended meetings were held in Leeds, the very centre and hotbed of voluntaryism, and at each of them resolu tions were enthusiastically carried against leaving the educatiou of the people to voluntary efforts, and in favor of a national system. We stated last week that Sir Dick Lauder was fined by the magistrates for misconduct at a railway station in Edinburgh. This week Sir William Don was brought up on the same charge, but acquitted. The two knights, with other gentlemen, had been dining, and were guilty of " a lark." Last week an organised gang of twenty persons were found stealing turnips on a farm near Bath. Seven of the thieves were captured, after a desperate resistance. They , had been in the habit of selling green grocery in the mar ket and streets of Bath ; and many of the farmers had suffered from their depredations. Active preparations are set on foot for the opening of a Penny Bank in Manchester. One gentleman in Man chester, a retired banker, has shown such a deep interest in the object that he has not only offered to provide a banking-house free of expense, but has promised his at tendance three hours a day for the first twelve months. The extent of the intended exhibition of industry next year in London may be guessed at from the fact, that the catalogue is expected to form three quarto volumes, the charge for which will be a guinea; and that the commis sioners expect about £40,000 for the copyright. May they get it, or one quarter that amount. A MATTER OF TASTE.—A report appears in several of the provincial journals that recently a lady, who was about being married to a gentleman of her own standing in society, ran off with his groom while the latter's mas ter and bridal party were awaiting at church the attend ance of the faithless fair. The subject of the - adulteration of coffee continues to excite an increased degree of interest in the mercantile circles in London, and it is exciting much surprise that Sir Charles Wood has hitherto leant a deaf ear to every remonstrance on the subject, notwithstanding the repeated statements and remonstrances that have been presented to him. ROYAL ADELAIDE.—The following is copied from the Jersey Times of the 12th instant :—Drowned in the Royal Adelaide, on her passage from Cork to London, the 30th March, Anthony Le Ber, Esq., and his family, consisting of his wife and six children, three sons and three daugh ters, the eldest 16, and the youngest 8, leaving one daughter. The stoves used in St. James's Church, Stafford, are heated with coke : and partly from overheating and poison ous gas several persons have been taken out in a state of insens,bility. On Good Friday, when the organist at tempted to play, he found the pipes not filled, and on going to ascertain the cause, found the organ blower lying insensible on his back. He ultimately recovered. The Cornwall Gazette tells a marvellous story of the discovery of an original portrait of Charles 1., by Van dyke. It bad been kicked about amongst rubbish, and was supposed to be a valueless rag. It was purchased for 25., the dirt was brushed off it, and the possessor has been offered £2OOO for it, but it is considered worth £20,000 ! A printer of Greenock having been fined for printing news on unstamped sheets of paper, now prints upon clgth, which is not specified in the act, and calls his jour nal the Greenock " Newscloth," in allusion to that material. In the debate on the paper duties on Monday night, Mr. Gibson handed a copy to the Chancellor of the Exchequer. EXPECTED COMET.-Mr. Hind has written to the Times stating that the great comet which astonished the world in 1264, and which is supposed to have returned in 1556, may be looked for in the course of this or the next year. If it does not renew its visit within that time, he thinks there will be good reason to doubt the identity of the bodies of 1264 and 1556. The Durham Chronicle, a liberal paper, having an aver age circulation of one thousand copies weekly, and about sixty advertisement?, was sold by auction a few days ago, by order of the assignees under the bankruptcy of Mr. John Hardinge Witch, the late proprietor, for the sum of seven hundred pounds, to Mr. Wheeler, parliamentary reporter. London. The City of Glasgow, the first of the fine screw-ships from the Clyde to New York, has sailed from Glasgow, and opens a new and comn3odious`channel for passengers and goods to the United States. The Atlantic (one of Collins's new line) will leave New York on Saturday next, for this port; a very satisfactory trial had been made of her engines. An Irish beggar went by mistake to the Loughborough police station, on Sunday week, and urgently implored relief, declaring that he was utterly destitute. He soon, however, discovered that he had " come to the wrong shop" as he said himself. for he was searched by a police man ; and as money and provisions were found upon his Persons, he was locked up till the following day, wh en h.! was taken before a magistrate, who committed him to p:ison for a fortnight. The storm of Friday week, at London, was extremely de structive. A man, unknown, was struck dead by the electric fluid near the Nightingale, Lisson-grove, and re moved to the Paddington dead-house. A billy-boy, eighty tons burthen, was also struck near to Hungerford Sus pension Bridge, and instantly sunk, the crew, three in number, escaping almost by a miracle. Some London lads have lately devised the new trick of furtively smearing ladies' dresses or gentlemen's cloaks with some slimy liquid, informing the unlucky wearers of the supposed mishap, and assiduously assisting them to wipe and cleanse the soiled g arments . A trifling reward is usually be s t owe d upon th attentive tricksters, one or two of whom are said to wear dresses like stable boys. THE ARCTIC EXPEDITION.—The Lady Franklin, Capt. Penny, and the Sophia. Capt. Stewart, sailed from Aber deen on Saturday week, for the Arctic regions, in search of Sir John Franklin. The two vessels left the harbour amid the cheers of some thousands of spectators. The Lady Franlin is a first-class clipper brig, built at Aber deen, and the Sophia is equally strong, though less sharp in her model, and was built at Dundee. Ihe expedition is under the command of Captain Penny. A CURIOUS EPISTLE.—A candidate for matrimony, for whom banns of marriage had been duly published, waited upon Mr. Conyers, the registrar of marriages, in Driffield, and was very pressing for that gentleman to fix a time for tying the matrimonial yoke. Mr. Conyers fixed the fol lowing day ; but instead of the parties presenting them selves, he received the following curious epistle :—" Mr. Oconous hi rite to inform you that C— W— as rued of married to morrah morning with M— D—, of W—. Mr. Oconous Driffield. A deputation from Liverpool, Bristol. and Hull, on the subject of the Merchant Seamen's Fund Bill, consisting of Mr. Nelson Wood. Mr. Nicol, Mr. N. Bold, and Mr. Allen, of Liverpool, accompanied by Mr. Cardwell, M.P., Sir Thomas Birch, M.P., the Hon. H. Berkeley, M.P., Mr. T. Baines, M.P., and Hr. James Clay, M.P., had an interview with the Right Hon. H. Labouchere, on Wednesday, at the office of the Board of Trade. CHURCH RATES.—Not twenty miles from Sunderland, a summons before a bench of magistrates to pay church rates was supported by a dissenting lawyer, and opposed by a churchman. We suppose that by some mistake, the two learned gentlemen had, before the hearing, ex changed briefs, and, not having discovered the error till the case had proceeded some length, they had stuck to their briefs, in error—the only feasible solution of the occurrence, our P. D. suggests, fees-ible. PLEASURE GARDENS NEAR DONCASTER.—On Friday last, Joseph Paxton, Esq., visited Doncaster, for the pur pose of meeting the mayor and corporation, in reference to laying out Hexthorpe Flatts as a public pleasure ground. The whole of the ground proposed to be appro priated for the pleasure and pastime of the peaceful inha bitants of Doncaster, was inspected. Its admirable site, the salubrity of the limestone air, its contiguity to the river Don, being situated in fact, on its very brinks, and its easy access to the toiling mechanic, were points much dwelt,upon by the visitors. The' report of the Registrar of Joint-Stock Companies, for the year 1849 is just printed. There were 165 com panies provisionally registered during the year, of which ten related to California. Only 68 were completely re gistered in the year. In the period 134 failed to obtain complete registration, in which class the California com panies are prominent parties. The amount of fees paid in the year was £2,927, of which £2,891 6s. was paid at the head office in London, and the remainder in Dublin. THE WESLEYAN INSURRECTION.—The British Ban ner says—" The Wesleyan Delegates from York to the late Methodist Conference in London have been tried for the crime of attending it. Mr. Taylor has been found guilty by a majority of if; 25 against, and 20 for him— the majority, it seems, consisting of four preachers and a supernumerary. Mr. Coultas was found guilty by a ma jority of 3; 15 against and 12 for him."—The "Confer ence" alluded to was the meeting of Methodists opposed to the late proceedings of the ruling body. At the Middlesex Sessions, on Monday, Mr. Sergeant Adams and the county magistrates decided against the appeal of several publicans who had been refused their licenses by the justices of St. Martin's-in-the-Fields, on account of keeping " betting lists." The learned judge said the bench was unanimously of opinion that these Netting lists were " gaming," and, therefore, by the publicity given to the proceedings there, the trade would have a distinct intimation that the licenses of those who persisted in keeping betting lists would be endangered. On Monday, William Laidler, John Bennett, John Jones, John Sullivan, and Henry Tiddiman, were found guilty of extorting an I 0 U for £6O from an old man, by threatening to charge him with an abominable offence. The charge was brought home to the prisoners through the intrepid management of a young niece, who secreted policemen in the room whilst the men were completing the bargain with her uncle. Tiddiman, who pleaded guilty and turned approver, was sentenced to two years' imprisonment and hard labour. The others were trans ported for life. LAW OF PUBLIC MEETINGS TN SCOTLAND.—At the Edinburgh Police-court, on Wednesday, W. C. Sleigh, Esq., barrister, London, and Mr. Russell, Edinburgh, were charged by the lord provost with a breach of the peace in having moved and seconded an amendment, at a meeting called to oppose the Marriage Affinity Bill, of which he was chairman. The evidence showed that the noise was on the side of the prosecution ; but for speaking without the consent of the chairman, Mr. Sleigh was fined two guineas, and Mr. Russell one guinea, and both ordered to find sureties foe six months. George Watts, a journeyman tailor, residing at West Bromwich, has completed a piece of fancy needlework, consisting of upwards of four thousand pieces of cloth, sewed together with different-coloured silk. There are three hundred figures formed by pieces of cloth upon this (toyer; amongst which are scenes illustrative of Paradise, the Death of Abel, and the Crucifixion ;. animals, flowers, ships, bridges, and fortresses. The whole is the work of his own hands, and occupied five years and nine months, from two to three days in the week having been devoted to its completion. A DISTRESSED AGRICULTURIST.—The Western. Times tells a story of a " distressed agriculturist" :—" A farmer dropped in here on Wednesday last to pay his rent, put ting on a long face to correspond with the times. On en tering the house he told his landlord that times being so bad he couldn't raise the money at all, and, dashing a bundle of bank-notes on the table, There,' said he, that's all I can pay.' The money was taken up, and counted by Mr. —, the landlord, who said, Why this is twice as much as you owe." Dang'ee, give it to me again,' said the farmer, ' I'm dashed if I ain't took it out of the wrong pocket.' " A WATERSPOUT.—One of these singular phenomena of nature, which seldom o c c ur i n th ose l at i tu d es, hap pened on Saturday afternoon in the Bristol Channel. As the Fanny and Jane brig, 118 tons, from London to Bris tol, with a cargo of wines and general merchandise, was proceeding up channel, when about twelve miles off Pad stow she had her masts, bowsprit, and everything above deck carried away by a waterspout. She wa3 taken in tow by the Alert, of Bridport, and brought into this port. Vessels distant from the brig at the time of the occur rence only half a mile, escaped uninjured. SHOCKING ACCIDENT.—On Saturday week Mrs. Jen nion, of Widness, with her two children, aged eight years and fifteen months, went to Mr. John Hutchinson's chemical works, in Widness, to meet her husband, and she left the two children standing eight or nine yards from a large fire whilst she went to the office, and just as she returned to them a brick or stone fell into a panfull of boiling chemical liquid, and caused some to overflow into the fire. An explosion took place, which threw out the whole of the fire upon the woman and the two children. The infant died almost immediately, the eldest child is not expected to recover, and the poor woman is dreadfully scalded. A MlSTAKE.—Thackeray having, in his Pendennis, associated the name of Catherine Hayes, alluding to a murderess of that name, with those of several other per sons of infamous notoriety, including Bluebeard, all Ire land has been astir, and Thackeray has been consigned by the Irish press to " everlasting infamy." In conse quence of this extensive blunder, the author of Pendennis has been compelled to explain, through the Morning Chronicle, that he did not at all nude to the amiable and beautiful young lady now performing at her Majesty's Theatre, but to a woman who long since died at Tyburn, and was one of the characters in a satirical and unsuc cessful novel written by him ten years ago. An old woman, named Mary Carpenter, was acciden tally burned to death, in London, last week. The de ceased, who was possessed of several freehold houses, was looked upon as beirg one of the most extraordinary cha racters probably ever heard of. A few years since she had a number of dresses made so short that none of them would reach down to her knees. Part of the leg was ex posed, but the other was encased in white stockings, tied up with scarlet garters, the ribbons extending to her feet or flying about her person. In this extraordinary dress she would sally forth to market, followed by immense crowds of men and children. SHOCKING DEATH OF A CHILD.—A sad occurrence happened in Bedford-street, Gloucester, on Saturday evening week. A little girl, aged two years, daughter of Mr. Stephens, builder, had been undressed preparatory to being washed for the night, and some hot water had been poured into a pan for the purpose. While the ser vant was fetching some cold water, an elder brother of the little girl, about four years of age, picked up his sister (she being undressed,) and in the presence of the uncon scious father, who was drawing a plan in the same room at the moment, said to his little sister " come ; let me put you into the pan ;" and be then lifted her into the scalding water. Mr. Stephens was unaware that the servant had put hot water into the pan until the screams of the child convinced him of the fact. She was imme diaiely lifted out by the father, and the usual application in such cases were applied by Mr. Clarke, surgeon, who was called in, but the poor sufferer died on Monday. SIR ROBERT PEEL'S MODEL FARMER EXPOSED ! — The Morning Herald gives the following :—" Mr. Caird," writes a correspondent, " is a tenant of the Earl of Gal loway, and occupies what used to be the best farm belong ing to the earl in the district of Baldoon. As much as four guineas an acre used to be the average rent of land in this district. • It is situated in the fine valley of allu vial soil below the town of Wigton, in the shire of that name. In truth, it is land equal to any in the Carse of Gowrie. This farm now presents the picture of want and desolation, slovenliness and poverty. Whilst his neighbours' rick-yards are teeming with stacks of corn, the finest white wheat, the best barley, oats, and beans, the great Mr. Caird's betoken want of care, want even of common industry ; for such is the natural rich ness of the soil that the commonest labour bestowed upon it amply repays the tiller. As a consequence of all this neglect, Mr. Caird's rent to his lordship has been long suffered to be always in arrear, whilst all his neigh bours have paid their rents in full. He is universally considered a bad neighbour, a bad farmer, a bad tenant, and the whole neighbourhood pray that his peripatetic labours for a London newspaper may long employ him far away from Wigtonshire.” Can Sir Rob er t P ee l be Ogui. zant of time facts THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. THE TAXES ON KNOWLEDGE.—The foil mving Lanca ) shire members voted on Wednesday last in favotr of Mr. Mr. Milner Gibson's first resolution for repealing the taxes on knowledge (including the paper duty, the newspaper stamp, the advertisement duty, and the duty on foreign books) :—J. Bright, S. Clair, W. S. Crawford, W. J. Fox, G. Greenall, J. Pilkington, Sir J. Walmsley, and T. M. Gibson. The following members voted against the motion :—Sir George Strickland, C. P. Grenfell, Sir T. B. Birch, J. Brotherton, J. Duncuft, T. Greene, A. Henry, Col. Linsay, J. W. Patten, R. A. Thicknesse, and M. Wilson. Absent :—R. B. Armstrong, W. Brown, J. Heywood. R. Walker, C. Hindley, E. Cardwell, and J. Hornby. EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCE.—On the 3rd in stant, a fat cow was slaughtered by Mr. E. Boddington, of Rugby. In the belly he found three calves, one of which, under the ordinary course of nature, should have dropped twelve months ago ; the other two were twins, with which the cow had gone six months. The first calf weighed 81b.; the hair was very long, and the teeth pro minent, At the time the cow was expected to be calved she lost flesh, and this was attributed to some disease ; she afterwards gained flesh, and was taken to the bull, and stall-fed. Mr. Walker, veterinary surgeon, accounts for it in this way :—At the time the calf should have been brought forth, it escaped through a lesion in the womb and lay in the abdominal cavity twelve months ; that this lesion closed up afterwards, and the twins were soon af terwards formed in the womb. There were eleven stone of fat in the cow.—Leicestershire Mercury. FORTUNATE RECOVERY.—On Friday, the 15th March, Miss Sparks, a lady from Preston, in Lancashire, lost her purse, containing four five-pound notes and five sovereigns and a half in one of the streets of Longton, in Stafford shire. She immediately gave information to the police office, and the greater part of the money was scon restored to her. It was ascertained that a travelling tinker and his wife (the latter apparently a gipsy, and well-known in the neighbourhood) had exchanged three five-pound notes and had left the place. They were Bank of England notes, as were likewise those which Miss Sparks had lost, though she could not recollect the numbers. The fugitives were on Saturday apprehended at Newcastle, with twenty so vereigns and a half sovereign in their possession. The female prisoner acknowledged that she had found the purse, which was on Sunday discovered in a heap of ashes where she said she had placed it after abstracting the money. On Monday they were discharged with a repri mand.—Staffordshire Advertiser. SINGULAR STORY OF AN RAGLE.—On Saturday, an eagle belonging to Peter Grant, Crathy—favoured by the strong gales of wind experienced in more places than Crathy on that day—escaped from her prison, a wooden cage, casting her domus aside, to the utter astonish ment of her owner, who next morning discovered the loss of his pet, and considered it irreparable. But his fears were soon dispelled. On the second day after her exit he betook himself to the hills, and to his no small surprise, mingled with delight, he saw his favourite hovering above him. He took aim, but kindness got the better of his sporting propensities ; and in a few minutes, to his won der, she descended gradually, when she rested within a few yards of her late residence, to which he hurriedly and joyfully proceeded. Strange to say, the runaway quietly submitted to his approach, and to her own capture and recommittal to her former place of confinement, which, I suppose, her guardian will now make more secure than before. Her return is the more surprising, as she had only been three or four months in Grant's possession, having been trapped young, and considering that eagles are the most untameable of the feathered tribe.."—lnver ness Courier A Coon PROPHET. - Some writers bless their stars every morning, and congratulate their readers on Eng land's being so unlike the continent, in offering an impe netrable barrier against democracy. What delusion ! We know of no country in which the de mocra t h as more cause to rub his hands an d be delighted. ife cannot look up without perceiving all the classes above him engaged in the labour of pulling down each other. The landlord and the manufacturer have had a long tussle, and each has floored the other more than once. Now, both have set upon the lawyers ; and when the lawyers have been well beaten, they will help to pull down the clergy. It will go the round. And none are more fierce at the work than the Conservatives and Tories. For our part, we are contented to sit quiet and applaud in contemplating this labour of love.. For, after all, it does but work things back to what they ought to be. But it is curious to see these very champions and classes of society, so full of aristocratic and feudal notions, that they bemock and contemn all other countries which get rid of them, in dulge in the same levelling tendencies and efforts,. and rush to the self-same goal with the nations of the conti nent, although by other paths, and under deceptive ban ners.—Daily News. HORSEWHIPPING EXTRAORDINARy.—OIIe fine sun shiny day last week the gay promenaders and humble passengers in the fashionable Buchanan-street, Glasgow, were unexpectedly treated to a spectacle rather rich ofits kind.. It would appear that a certain hon. citizen had conceived, whether on veritable grounds or otherwise is not averred, that another gentleman was on too friendly terms with his wife. Of course this was an "offence" for which no "gentleman" could condescend to seek re dress in any ordinary way, or through the constituted tribunals, and hence the injured husband resolved to obtain satisfaction in the only way his righteous indigna tion and his honour could permit him to adopt. Armed, therefore, with a good horsewhip, he sallied forth in quest of his cowardly foe, and caught him in the thronged thoroughfare above referred to. The sequel is soon told. All the compassion of the incensed " gentleman" forsook bis breast ; his blood boiled in his veins, and having sum moned to his aid a sufficient quantum of manly courage, he then and there proceeded to inflict that amount of corporeal punishment which, as he conceived, the object of his resentment so justly merited. The number of stripes inflicted were not exactly noted. It may suffice to state, that the unfortunate offender considered them enough, as he instantly retreated, and took refuge in a shop, whose open door invited him to an asylum within its grateful precincts.—Glasgow Chronicle. MERCANTILE MARINE BILL.—On Wednesday last a very numerous meeting of shipbuilders, shipowners, and others connected with shipping in the metropolis and the principal outports, was held in the London Tavern, Mr. Joseph Hume, M.P. in the chair, when resolutions were passed condemnatory of the Government Marine Bill, now before parliament ; also, a resolution appointing a committee to frame a comprehensive maritime code, to be laid before the executive. Mr. Lockett, chairman of the Liverpool Shipowners' Association, spoke ably to the first resolution, and our townsman,. Mr. James Aikin, suc ceeded him in on equally practical address. Many other speakers of note in the commercial world succeeded them. The whole of the resolutions were unanimously carried ; and the concurrent testimony of all present served to show that no possible amendment of the bill now before parliament could render it an effective measure this ses sion, much less a measure that should be satisfactory to those called upon to carry it into operation, the conviction being that ministers ought immediately to withdraw the bill, and take the counsel of practical men. We are gra tified to find that on Friday evening Mr. Labouchere withdrew the Mercantile Marine Bill for the purpose of introducing another bill upon the same subject, with amendments, and postponed the second reading of the Merchant Seamen's Fund Bill to a future day. With respect to the Merchant Shipping Bill, the right hon. gentleman said so many serious objections had been made to it that he did not feel inclined to press. the bill for adoption, at least during the present session of Par liament. The subject was one of the utmost importance, and he hoped to be able next session to present to the House a measure that would meet the objections which had been made to the present bill, and which, he ad mitted, were in many respects perfectly justifiable, " NEVER DESPAIR."—Mr. D. P. Miller, late lessee of the Adelphi Theatre, Glasgow, gave an entertainment at the Concert-hall, Lord Nelson-street, on.

SKIDDY.—On Saturday several of the passengers who were on board the John R. Skiddy, lately wrecked on the Trish coast, appeared before his worship the Mayor, at the Town hall, in support of a memorial complaining of the crew, by whom it was alleged the passengers had been shamefully ill-used and plundered, It stated in the memorial that the sailors, including the mates, were veryabusive to the female passengers and children, some of them were knocked down and trodden on whilst the men were on the deck, particu larly the females. A portion of the crew went below and broke op e the boxes and other packages belonging to the passengers, their object being to possess themselves of the cash, in doing which much property was destroyed. The memorialists further state, that, so far from the Irish being the abandoned set of villains described by the captain, they behaved with kindness, many signal acts of which were experienced by the passengers. The memorial is signed by a dozen people, who represent their losses at sums vary ing from £2O to £6O. A number of the parties complain ing were examined by the Mayor and Mr. Rushton, but their statements were very confused and indefinite, no single case of the nature complained of being spoken to ; and, eventually, the matter was left for the investigation of Lieut. Hodder, the government emigration agent.— Yesterday, one of the crew of the vessel, whose name is Thomas Thompson, was placed before Mr. Rushton, to answer a charge preferred by one of the passengers, Joseph Gazely, in behalf of his son, a youth, who was also a passenger on board, and whose trunk, he said, had been broken open and plundered by the prisoner. The com plainant having made his statement, Mr. Rushton said that he and his brother magistrates had fully investigated the memorial which had been presented to the Mayor, and that they had found that it contained statements con siderably exaggerated. The case brought before him was one he could not doubt. A box had been broken open, and property abstracted from it. It was not, however, within his jurisdiction to proceed against the prisoner, inasmuch as the vessel had been stranded on the coast of Wexford ; but he would afford the complainant every possible facility, if he chose to proceed to that locality, and to prosecute.—The complainant said he could not do so, unless he was assisted with funds for his expenses.-- Mr. Rushton said he had no fund to which he could resort for such a purpose, and offered to detain the prisoner, if The c complainant hief e ffiweaenrt e e d f tti theme s t il t) c p o w n s e i e d e ce r l h l e o d w e h n e h s e h h o e u l l et fd of the the complainant, and stated that some of the crew (a few only) had broken open some of the passengers' boxes ; but he could not identify them, as they were between decks, and nearly in the dark at the time.—Mr. Rushton re peated that the memorial put forth great exaggerations, for it appeared that one or Lwo of the crew only had be trayed their trust. He then left it to the complainant to decide, during the day, whether he would proceed to Wexford, in which case the prisoner would be sent over ; otherwise he must discharge him. Lieutenant Hodder, R.N., of the Government Emigration Offi ce, was present, and Mr. Rushton recommended the complainant to get his advice, as he knew more of the matter than any one else.—Another applicant also appeared on a similar charge, and was also (shoed to cousult Lieut. Hodder. HYAM'S ESTABLISHMENT, LIVERPOOL, IS AT 63, LORD-STREET. TJYAM'S I AT ESTABLISHMENT ,B szO L .e ig i p r O r N, HYAM'S ESTABLISHMENT, LONDON, IS also AT-36-GRACECHURCH-STREET.
