My doc iv ankle, which by this time was vant to rub it, adding I was 1 ,t on tire Dsted b AN EXTRAORDINARY CASE On Wednesday last, a broken down and wounded seamen, named Joseph Forbes, was brought to the Mansion-house, London, and introduced to Alderman Pirie by Mr. Brooks, the ship-owner of Broad-street, who is one of the directors of the London Docks, as an object of charity, from the strange and intense sufferings he had undergone for a series of years. Mr. Brooks said that Forbes had been lately brought from Sydney to this country in one of his (Mr. Brooks's) vessels, and had been kept at his expense for the six weeks during which the unfortunate man had been in London, where medi cal aid of the highest kind had been administered almost in vain to his case. The circumstances in which the man had been placed for the last sixteen years (and of the accurate veracity of the statement there was no doubt) would be best detailed by himself. There had been some instances of simi lar horrors, but he was not aware of any of such long duration. The seaman then made a statement, of which the following is the outline : " In the year 1822, I, being then a boy, sailed from London in the schooner Stedcombe, with a crew con sisting of thirteen persons, boundfor Melville Island, on the north coast of New Holland. The vessel, which was a fine one, having discharged her cargo at Melville Island, pro ceeded to the island of Timour Laut, for the purpose of pro curing buffaloes, and the natives came on board the schooner, appearing to have the most friendly disposition towards us, partook of food with the captain, and brought food and vege tables with them as a proof of their friendliness. There was nothing to interfere with this feeling, which seemed in every respect to be mutual. An arrangement was concluded with the natives for the supply of a large cargo of buffaloes, which they stated were ready to be shipped, and the captain left the vessel in his boat with all the crew (amongst whom was my brother) with the exception of myself, John Edwards, ano ther boy, the cook, and a seaman, with the intention of ac complishing the traffic. Soon after the crew landed, to my great horror, I saw them attacked by a number of the natives and savagely murdered. We, who were on boaid, looked 1 forward for nothing else than sharing the awful fate of our friends, and a few minutes after the murder of the crew, the murderers came over to the schooner in vast numbers, and seizing the cook and seaman, cut their heads off and threw their bodies overboard. Edwards and I had taken to the rigging and witnessed the murders on the deck from thence. The natives pursued us, and after a short while we descended in an exhausted condition, convinced that our lives would also be taken. We were, however, but mere boys, and they did not use their weapons against us. They stripped us, put us into a canoe, and took us to the beach, where they com pelled us to walk over the bleeding trunks of our poor ship mates, whose heads had been cut off and conveyed to the village. The schooner, after having been plundered of every thing of the least value, was hauled on shore and burnt. Edwards died about three months after this dreadful transac tion, leaving me the sole survivor of the Sedcombe's crew, to linger out all the horrors and miseries of the most frightful captivity." Alderman Pirie.—They merely spared your life, then They showed you no kindness ? . The Seamari.—During the sixteen years of my captivity they kept me to severe labour, such as cutting timber, culti vating yams, and other hard employment. In their wars I was compelled to accompany them, and I received two se vere wounds, one in the neck, the other in the wrist, from the former of which I now suffer most bitterly. Alderman Pirie.—Did you not see any ship touch upon the island of Timour Laut in all that time ? The Seaman.—Whenever a ship appeared off the island I was taken to a cavern, and there bound by the hands and legs. They no doubt supposed that if by any chance I suc ceeded in coming in contact with any of my own country men, I should mention all that had taken place, and bring down vengeance upon them. They bound me so tight as to cause wounds on my legs, and absolutely to stop the circula tion' of my blood. The frequent repetitions.of this cruel treatment made me the poor cripple you see, with a consti tution destroyed, and limbs which can scarcely perform any of their offices. Mr. Brooks said, that Sir Gordon Beremer, of her Ma jesty's ship. Aligator, was understood to have made an at tempt to rescue Forbes, a report having reached Sydney that an Englishman was detained on the island. The seaman said he believed that such an attempt bad been made, but he was bound hand and foot at the time. It was to Capt. Watson, of the trading schboner Essington of Sydney, he was indebted for his deliverance from the dread ful slavery amongst the natives of Timour Laut, and much ingenuity was necessary to be used on the occasion as well as resolution. Captain Watson having been assured that an Englishman was amongst the natives, appeared off the island in March, 1839, and the natives proceeded to the vessel with their usual appearance of kindness and goodwill. They had, however, as was evident from their conversation when the vessel approached the island, determined to seize her, and if that had been accomplished, there could have been no doubt as to the fate of the crew. Every one of them would have been murdered. In order to accomplish his object of releasing the captive, John Watson used the following stratagem :—He closed his ports, strongly armed his crew, and sent them below. He then allowed the natives in the first canoe to get on board, and finding one of the principal chiefs of the island amongst them, peremptorily demanded the white man. The chief was taken completely by surprise, but he positively denied all knowledge of any stranger. The captain then ordered up his men, and compelled the natives to leave the ship, detaining only the chief, whom he was re solved never to deliver up without the exchange required. Still the chief presisted in declaring that Ito white man was on the island, and it was not till the afternoon of next day, when, no doubt, terrified by the threats of the captain and boatswain, and the formidable appearance and conduct of the armed crew, the savage admitted that his people had a prisoner, and consented to give that prisoner liberty on ob taining his own. The order was then issued by the chief, and he (Forbes) was taken from the cavern in which he lay bound, and was once more placed amongst human beings. The chief was then allowed to descend into his canoe and depart, but the crew were very desirous when they heard of the bloody cruelty of the natives to have a fling at them. Alderman Pirie.—My poor fellow, you must have found the change very great. The Seaman.—lndeed it was, Sir, but it was almost too late. The kindness of Captain Watson and his crew was very great, but I never had a moment's health ; my strength is entirely gone. I was put into the hospital at Sydney, and treated with the greatest care for fourteen months. All the people there were most kind to me. Mr. Brooks.—He has been here six weeks, and has been• attended constantly by medical men; but he has not been able to come up to the Mansion-house before this day. My object in attending here with him is to solicit the Mayor's exertions in his favour. He never will be able to work a single stroke, and it occurred to me that the public sympathy could, through the press, be enlisted to this poor creature's service. The facts, which are frightful in the detail, have been stated with simplicity, and without (as must strike everybody) the least exaggeration. Alderman Pirie.—lt is a singular fact that I, who am thus addressed on this occasion, was the very person who sold the schooner just before she went upon her fatal voyage. I am much gratified at being present when such an application is made. It will give me the most sincere pleasure to receive subscriptions for the benefit of the sufferer, and I will com mence myself with £5. I shall answer for the readiness with which the Lord Mayor will aid in the case, and that his lordship will be happy to receive contributions from the benevolent. Mr. Brooks also subscribed £5, and intimated that he should feel greatly honoured by receiving subscriptions. The seaman returned thanks, in a voice that piped and whistled in the sound," and with tears trickling down his pale and withered cheeks. PLEASURE TRIP. / On the morning of the Fast-day the Sir William Wallace steamer left the Broomielaw on a pleasure trip, and landed in the afternoon a large number of passengers at Brodick. In consequence of part of the boiler, we learn, having been burned, the boat could not leave the bay, and the husbands, wives, and children, and beaux and belles, were left to enjoy their " pleasure excursion" longer than they intended, to the great anxiety of their friends at home. The following parti culars are abridged from the Herald:—All the way down the Clyde and Firth, the passengers became thinned by landing in detachments at Greenock, Largs, Millport, &c., but still upwards of 100 accompanied the vessel to the limits of her trip at Brodick, where they landed, and were allowed two hours to stroll about and survey the beautiful geological fea tures of Arran. At two o'clock the party were called on board for the homeward run, but to the dismay of all it was discovered that the paddles were immoveable, from a leakage in the boiler, occasioned by the giving way of a stay-bolt, through which the water escaped. Vigorous efforts were made to repair the rent, and night began to close in, but still the Sir William lay motionless in Brodick Bay. Hunger and discontent now began to creep over the party, but they had to put up with them as best they might, and make pre parations for passing the night in the vessel, in which they stowed themselves away, some in the cabin and some in the hold, so far as the accommodations of the Sir William per ' mitted. Friday morning rose, and relief was as far away as ever. In ordinary circumstances the detention of the vessel would have been a matter of little moment, for all could have been relieved by the mail steamer; but it unfortunately hap pened that she was at this moment temporarily under repair. In the course of the day the people eat up the only baker in place twice over—at least they twice consumed his stock ; and a quantity of biscuit which he was sending to order was stormed in the cart in which it was placed, and munched on the spot. The head inn was equally beset, and the whole of the sweet marine village of Brodick was in a state of fearful commo'.ion. When provisions became scarce here, the party dispersed themselves inland, and the country people were glad to bespeak their forbearance by giving them cogs of por ridge, cakes, and " dads o' kebbock," or boiled kail, and one old gentleman gave them two pails of potatoes. Indeed, some of the more desperately hungry of the group talked of slaughtering a sow, a few sheep, or a bullock ; but we are happy to say that they had not occasion to resort to this ab solute extremity. Brodick Castle, the Arran residence of the Duke of Hamilton, was also tried, but as the " quality" were absent, all that could be levied here was a bundle of herrings. Friday night was setting in, and still there was no relief, when fortunately the 'Victor was observed steaming into the bay. Mr. Young, the proprietor of the Wallace, had set out for assistance in the morning, and brought or sent down this vessel ; but it was too late to set out, and the whole party, minus a small number who had gone to Ardros san by the wherry, were compelled to pass another night in the cabin and hold of the steamer. The beleagured passen gers at length started at four o'clock on Saturday morning, and were landed at the Broomielaw in the course of the fore noon, in a rueful plight. It is only fair to state that the ac cident which caused this annoying result on the part of the Sir William Wallace, was of a perfectly trifling kind, and such as not to damage her fair fame ; but, slight as it was, there was no means of repairing it at hand.—Scottish Guardian. The Duke of Wellington, during his administration, not only paid off more than twenty millions of the national debt, by resolute economy and retrenchment, but made provision for saving millions more in the treasury at the time he re signed office.—What have the whig-radicals done ? They have not only not paid off one farthing of the country's debt, but they have squandered the savings of the Duke of Wellington, increased taxation as before noted, and now must levy new taxes, or resort to some other trick to make up recurring deficiencies.—Norwich Times. BASINGWERK.—No spot in the neighbourhood could be better selected for the site of an abbey than the one chosen for that of Basingwerk, the ruins of which rest upon a gentle eminence between two hills, about a mile east of Holywell, among rich meadows, near the spot where the waters of that wonder-working well fall into the Dee, commanding a fine view of the Cheshire shore, with a profusion of spreading sycamores and groves of ancient trees on all sides. It is supposed to have derived its origin from one of the Welsh princes, but the fragments which the Wanderer contem plated belonged to an institution founded, probably, by the Earl of Chester, in 1113, the foundation afterwards being confirmed by King Henry 11. and Prince Llewelyn. In its time-worn and crumbling ruins hardly any idea can be form ed of its original extent or character ; but it is proved to be Of that mixed architecture, Norman and early English, by its present remains, and by the traces of its foundation. After being built, it received considerable additions at various I times ;—the refectory, now used as a stall for cattle, with its long range of circular pillars and trefoil arches sunk in the wall, deserves particular attention. It is worth while to visit Basingwerk, though only ' the shade of what it was,' were it but to admire the taste which these hermits of old had in fixing their residence, and the piety, it may be, which led them to seek a solitary abode so favourable to devotion. — From Roscoe's Wales, new edition, now publishing in monthly parts. bETECTION OF A GANG OF BURGLARS WARRINGTON, Monday evening. —Within the last twelve months a gang of burglars has infested the country within a circuit of twenty-five miles of this county. The robberies committed were of frequent occurrence, and the gang gradu ally became more daring. At first they paid their midnight visits, armed only with bludgeons and crowbars, but more recently they turned out, each well equipped with pistols, dark lanterns, crowbars, centre-bits and brace, and a set of picklocks, skeleton. keys, &c, not to be exceeded in point of usefulness by those in the possession of any of the London cracksmen. At length, the burglary and attempted murder at the house of Mr. Thomas Shaw, farmer, of Poulton-with- Fearnhead, about a mile from this town, brought things to such a crisis, as to be.no longer enduredin silence. A hand some reward was offered for the detection of the offenders, and the hope of a free pardon held out to any parties con cerned in the robbery, wha would come forward and give evidence against their companions. Mr. James Jones, the deputy constable of Warrington, rendered himself remark ably active in the enquiry, and after scouring the country for many miles round Warrington, at length obtained a clue to the offenders, and assisted by some of the Manchester police, took nine of the gang into custody. They all turned out to be men of the most depraved habits and desperate characters. Two o'clock in the afternoon was the time appointed for the examination of the offenders before the magistrates in the sessions-roam. The magistrates present were Mr. T. Lyon, chairman, Messrs. W. Hall, W. Stubbs, H. Gaskell, W. Daken, and H. C. Lacy. Every part of the court was filled and some hundreds were unable to obtain admission. The first case gone into was the burglary at Poulton-with- Fearnhead, _ Wm. Parkinson, Samuel Penington, Wm. Barber, Henry Ellis, and Thos. Goodyear, were charged with breaking and entering the dwelling-house of Mr. Shaw, of Poulton-with- Fearnhead, stealing £36 in gold, a silver watch, and sundry articles of silver plate therefrom. On the night of the 26th of March last, Mr. Shaw's house was attacked by a gang of six men, armed with pistols, crow bars, and carrying dark lanterns, and wearing crape over their faces, and black jackets. Four went inside, while two re mained on the watch outside, one at the back and the other at the front door. They fired their pistols twice at the dog, and on Hannah Barton, the housekeeper of the prosecutor, opening her bed-room window to see what was the matter, she received the contents of a pistol or gun on the forehead. It happily took a slanting direction or her death would in all probablity have been the result. She afterwards escaped by breaking away the casement of the wokshop window, but the two men outside stopped her from giving the alarm, and forced her back into the house by the same way as she had got out. After rifling the house, they took their departure, carrying away with them, in addition to the other articles, the key of Mr. Shaw's front door, and a two-quart bottle, containing about three pints of rum. They entered the house about one o'clock, and stopped full an hour there. Next day the slide of a dark lantern was found in the house. A witness named George Bibby, living at Blackbrook, some short distance from the house of the prosecutor, proved that some of the prisoners came to his house between 11 and 12 o'clock on the night of the robbery and partook of some buttermilk. In that point he was confirmed by John Shaw, who lives in the next house to Bibby. He was only, how ever, able to say that he saw one man and heard the footsteps of two others passing his house. Bibby also proved that on the Bst of April, at the request of Mr. Jones, the deputy constable, he went over to Manchester with a view to the discovery of the men who had called at his house. He met the prisoner Parkinson, and after drinking together at a beer-shop, Bibby accompanied Parkinson to his house in Stafford-street, Chorlton-upon-Medlock. He found the pri soners Ellis and Barber there. Next day he agreed to meet them at the Anchor public-house, in Port-street, and, agree ably to that appointment, Parkinson, Ellis, and Sutton (now admitted Queen's evidence) came. They afterwards accom panied him to the railway station in the Liverpool-road, and were there apprehended by Mr. Jones. After they were placed in the lockups, Mr. Jones proceeded to Parkinson's house, in Stafford-street, Chorlton-upon-Medlock. • He was accompanied by William Hewitt. On searching the house they found a pair of duelling pistols, bullet-moulds, powder flasks, crowbars, crapes for the faces, black calico jackets, two dark lanterns, one of which was without a slide, and _ _ which the slide found in Mr. Shaw's house after the robbery exactly fitted ; the key of Mr. Shaw's front door, ladles for melting metal, with silver dross in one of them, lucifer matches, two saws, a vice, some files, and various other arti cles relating to other robberies. While in the house the pri soner Barber and another man came in, and were captured. Mr. Jones afterwards went to the house of William Barber, in the neighbourhood of Parkinson's houp. He there found a crowbar, sundry keys, two boxes of lucifer matches, and a piece of black calico, exactly corresponding in texture and quality with the jackets found in Parkinson's house. It had been a jacket, and had been recently taken to pieces. On the 2d of April Mr. Jones apprehended Goodyear at his house at Salemoor. The person who answered the knock at the door denied Goodyear's being in the house, and Mr. Jones on going inside found him standing behind the door naked, with his clothes on his arm. The most direct evidence against the accused was the tes timony of Thomas Sutton, the man admitted Queen's evi dence. He stated that he had lodged in the house of the prisoner Parkinson for nearly seven weeks, and had often met the other prisoners, Barber, Goodyear, and Ellis there. On the 25th March it was agreed between him and the other prisoners to go to Mr. Shaw's house. They left Parkinson's house together, and it was arranged that Parkinson, Penning ton, and Ellis should go one way, and Sutton, arber, and Goodyear another. Sutton and his party went through Hulme, crossed the river at Throstlenest, then up a lane to Eccles, and then along the turnpike road to the stile leading to Mr. Shaw's house at Fearnhead. They there met the other prisoners, at about ten o'clock at night. They left Goodyear and Pennington to watch, while Sutton, Parkin son, Ellis, and Barber went to Blackbrook, to George Bibby's house. After getting some buttermilk they went back and found Goodyear and Pennington waiting where they had left them. Sutton and Ellis remained outside while the other four went in. They broke the door open with a large stump they found at the back of the house. They fired a pistol directly they got in. Goodyear stood with a pistol and lamp, and Parkinson also had a lamp and pistol. He (Sut ton) threw three stones in at the window, when the girl opened it, and, with Ellis, afterwards forced her back through a broken window. After they had come out of the house they all returned back over Rowlis-lock, past Twist's barn, through Thelwall and Lymn, then down the Duke's canal to Altrincham. When they got to Sale-moor, Barber, Pen nington, and Goodyear went to Goodyear's house. They drank the rum in Thelwall-lane, and broke the bottle against a tree. In a field near Westbarn, Pennington pulled out a watch, which he said was a good silver one. Parkinson said he had got some silver spoons, and Barber pulled out a purse containing seven sovereigns and a half, and gave each of them one sovereign, and the other, he said, must be divi ded when they next met. Sutton afterwards got Is. 3d. for his share of the watch and spoons. Evidence was produced to corroborate the testimony of the accomplice. The prisoners were all committed for trial at the next assizes. The next charge was preferred against William Barber, Henry Ellis, William Parkinson, William Woollaston, and Samuel Pennington, for a burglary com mitted at the house of Mr. Samuel Stubbs, a farmer, resid ing at Gorton, near Manchester. On the 17th of February, in the night time, six men, after firing a pistol, rushed up stairs into Mr. Stubb's bed-room, and presenting a pistol at his head, demanded his money, and threatened to blow his brains out. He delivered to them his keys, and after that they went to his niece's, Ellen Hall's, chamber, threatened her life in a similar way, and took some dresses from her box. Some of the party then went below, and rifled the house of a silver snuff-box, various articles of wearing apparel, provisions, ale, and other property. A shirt and a pair of stockings belonging to the servant-man were afterwards found upon the prisoner Pennington, and the inmates of the house succeeded in identifying the accused as the persons who were present : they had all black masks, and had their faces blackened underneath, and Mr. Stubbs said the pistol presented at him in aprearance resembled those found at Parkington's house. The prisoners were committed on this charge also:. The last case was one of a burglary committed at the dwelling-house of Mr. Abraham Akers, of Bickershaw Hall, on the night of the 7th of December. The library shutters of Mr. Akers's mansion were forced open on the night in question ; and next morning several drawers in Mr. Akers's desk were found broken open, a number of pocket-books and other papers were lying open about the room, and Mr. Akers missed 30s. or 40s. in silver and copper coin, about 170 old coins, a box of cigars, a brace of duelling pistols, a powder flask, bullet mould and charger, a pair of silver spectacles, a bunch of keys, a leather bag, which contained the silver and copper, and a canvass bag, containing the old coin. Mr. Akers identified the pistols found at Parkington's house, together with the keys and leather bag. as his property. There was no case against the other prisoners, although from the number of footmarks seen in the garden there is reason to suppose they were con cerned in the robbery. The prisoner Parkinson was alone committed on this charge. There are other cases, both of burglary and sacrilege, to be gone into at a future day. MURRAY THE MURDERER, (From the Chester Chronicle.) The condemned malefactor has not yet attained the 19th year of his age. His appearance most strangely belies his act. He appears to have conducted himself extremely well in his early employments, and to have obtained, and we would fain hope deserved, the good opinion of his superiors. Little is known in England beyond what is given in evidence on his trial. The crime for which he will have to suffer the most ignominious punishment of the law was perpetrated with great coolness and decision. No visible evidence exists that his hand did it. Not one mark or stain of blood has been discovered on his apparel or person, nor any of the pro perty of the unfortunate deceased found in or traced to his possession, excepting it be the money, which, being in coin, cannot be sworn to. The rapidity of his movements after the event were such as to baffle the case, had it not been for the wonderful interposition of a superintending Providence, which, by some agency, simple in itself, but almost incom prehensible in its operation, will rarely permit such deeds to pass without detection and punishment. The conduct of Murray, from his first committal to the time of our writing, has been uniformly consistent—that is, he has continued to asseverate his entire innocence of the crime with which he is charged. In stating this, however, we are bound also to state, that a prisoner named Samuel Coates, charged with and found guilty of forgery at the pre sent assizes, stated that some time since Murray had made a full confession of his guilt to him, detailing also the cir cumstances under which he committed the murder. The character of Coates, however, is of that questionable nature, that it was not thought fit that the prosecution should be en cumbered with his evidence, but that the case should be laid before the tribunal of justice in its naked aspect as sustained by noncurrent circumstances. W e thi n k a w i se di scre ti on was exercised. Confessions and admissions, particularly when dependent for credit on the veracity of men of criminal lives and habits, are unsatisfactory. In this case, unfortu nately for Murray, no such aids were required. • No witnesses were called for the defence ; in fact, none could be. The cost of the defence was defrayed by an uncle of the prisoner, who is a respectable yeoman, residing in the county of Cavan. He attended the trial. The day after the conviction he took a last earthly farewell of his criminal nephew. Murray went through the trial with great firmness. When the verdict was pronounced he was hut littl e move d. He contented himself with merely saying, " G en tl emen, I' m as innocent as a child unborn, and it's n o t r i g ht I should suffer for others. " His demeanour when un d er an d a f ter sen t en ce may be denominated obdurate. Si nce , h owever, he has been considerably subdued. He ha s p a id great atten tion to his religi ous duties, and is generally f oun d b y th e clergyman and tur nke y s engaged in prayer. The day of exe cution is not yet fixed. POPE'S ESSAY ON MAN.-Mr. Abijah Pope, of Juniata, has been found guilty and fined 220 dollars for an assault and battery on Philomel H. Mann.—New York paper. " SOME HAVE GREATNESS THRUST UPON The daughter daughter of a Spanish grandee having become enamoured of a corporal of the Gustadores of the Royal Guards, her father, the Conde de —, anxious to please his daughter, applied to General Espartero, requesting that he would pro mote the man to the rank of a commissioned officer; but, upon the lucky grenadier being . made acquainted with what was intended for him, he replied, ," That he felt greatly flattered ; hut being determined to marry a young servant girl he was much attached to, he declined all and every honour intended him," MISCELLANEOUS The establishment of a Roman Catholic Guild, at York, has caused a division among the Roman Catholics of that city. R. 11. Anderson, Esq., who has always taken a pro minent part in the affairs of the church, has addressed a let ter to the editor of the Yorkshire Gazette, denouncing the Proceedings as a revival of superstitions of by-gone ages, and as calculated to " render the [Roman] Catholics of this country objects of ridicule and contempt." Mr. Anderson sees that the mummery of popery will disgust every rational mind. BRISTOL AND GLOUCESTER RAILW Ay.—The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on the 30th March last. The receipts of the company exhibit an increase of £5765 19s. 9d. over the expenditure, and the report of the directors appeared to give very general satisfaction to the' shareholders who, as well as the public at large, are to be congratulated on the prospect of the only link now wanting to connect Bristol and the south of England more nearly with the north, being now supplied. On Wednesday, the 31st ult., a serious accident took place near Islay House, the seat of W. F. Campbell, Esq„ M.P., for Argyllshire. Mr. John Murdoch, the principal game keeper, and an assistant, were shooting at barnacles, and while they were creeping along among the rocks, Mr. Mur doch in front, the assistant fired, when the ball, which hit a rock, rebounded, and struck Mr. Murdoch above the eye with such force as nearly to cause his death. Indeed, very little hope is yet entertained of his recovery.—Caledonian Mercury. A Cumin s Tum—About nine o'clock on Monday even ing last, a boy, who is an apprentice to one of the men em ployed in the engine shed at the Manchester station of the Manchester and Leeds Railway, got upon an engine which had just come with a luggage train from Leeds, and had been left by the engineman in an improper state, the steam not having been let off. Probably, not understanding the engine, the boy set it in motion, and it darted forward, broke through the wall of the shed, and fell a height of about twenty feet into the field below, where . it was deeply embedded in clay. It lay there until about s ix o'clock on Tuesday morning, when it was got out, and it appeared that the damage done to it was very trifling, probably not amounting to more than £25. The boy got off the engine no one knows how, and has not since been heard of. Both he and the fireman are, we believe, amenable to Lord Seymour's act for the regula tion of railways.—Manchester Guardian. MANSLAUGHTER IN YORK.—On Friday last, a dreadful case of manslaughter occurred at York ; deriving its principal horror, bo wever, from the circumstances of the victim rather than the violence of the criminal. It appears that the de ceased, John Charles Warren, a commercial traveller for a house at Wolverhampton, after drinking to intoxication at the Star Inn, in Stonegate, went with a Mr. Monkman. so licitor, to a house of ill-fame; on the road to which they were assaulted by two men, one of whom felled deceased, and left him in the street. He, however, was not so much the worse, apparently, but that he got up and went to the house in question, where he staid all night. About nine the next morning the girl with whom he bad slept gave an alarm that he was dying ; but he lingered until about twelve o'clock. A man named Wm. Plewes was sworn to as being the man who struck deceased ; and the surgeon having deposed that death. was caused by the injuries received on the head, Plewes was committed to take his trial at the ensuing assizes for man slaugter. FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT.—On Wednesday afternoon a young man of the name of Zachariah Gage expired at Guy's Hospital, from the effects of falling into a vat of boiling oil, at Messrs. Langton's oil-warehouse, in Newington-butts. It appeared that he was engaged, on the evening previous to his death, in minding the oil, when his foot slipped, and he tumbled into the vat, which was so full that it was beyond his depth, and the unfortunate man was compelled to swim about to save himself from drowning. His cries soon brought same men in the warehouse to his assistance, who quickly extricated him in an almost lifeless state, and his clothes were got off with all expedition, when the flesh was found to be hanging in long strips from the neck downwards. He was wrapped in a sheet, and brought away to the hospitsl, in the most indescribable agony, but quite sensible, in which state he remained till the following afternoon at 3 o'clock, when death put an end to his sufferings. ALLEGED DESTITUTION OF AN AGED NOBLEMAN.—We were really much surprised to learn from a friend, that Augustus Carl Frederick Count Van Ranzau, at present re siding in Colombo, and fast approaching his 90th year, is so illiberally provided for. This unfortunate nobleman, related I to the royal family of England, formerly was the friend and companion in Ceylon of governors, generals, admirals, &c., and possessed abundant means, which he liberally dispensed, it is said, both in public and private charities ; but unfore seen misfortunes, and the villany of others, it is reported, re duced him to extreme poverty, when he was obliged to retire from his splendidly furnished mansion, the seat of hospitality, to an humble cottage, under the humiliating circumstances of being forced to accept a paltry pension from the British government for the support of himself and family ; this being gradually reduced, under one plea or another, until it has dwindled into barely sufficient to support existence, yet the pride of this venerable individual induces him unrepiningly to submit to his destiny.

The family ought certainly to be more liberally pro vided for, and we strongly recommend it to the more imme diate attention of government. —Ceylon Herald, Dec. 24. MEHEMET Am.—A medal of the pacha of Egypt, in silver and bronze, is about to be brought out, under the patronage of Sir Moses Montefiore, with others of the Jewish peruasion, and most of the leading merchants in the city connected with the Egyptian trade, in order to commemorate his pro tection of commerce, patronage of the arts, and religious to leration. The face and bust of the medal is being taken by Mr. A. J. Stodhart, from a painting in the possession of Sir Moses Montefiore, just brought over from Egypt, where it was done expressly for him, by the order of the pacha. The portrait will represent him as wearing the taboucte, after his throwing off the turban, and the reverse of the medal will contain an allegorical device, representing some of the most interesting events in his life. It is not generally known that some time since, Lord Brougham made the pacha of Egypt a present of one thousand volumes of English scientific books, which the latter had immediately translated into Arabic for distribution and use i❑ the schools of Egypt. A copy of each of these works was recently sent over by the pacha as a pre sent to. Mr. Gallaway, father of the bey of that name, who recently died in his service. Just prior to the late interfer ence of the allied powers, he was erecting an observatory on the banks of the• Nile, which was to be placed under the con trol of the Royal Society of London. A SAFETY KITE AT SEA. — SANDGATE.—(From a Cor respondent.)—The wind being south, with strong breezes, a trial was made last week, at Sandgate, of the Mariners' Safety Kite, by W. Walker (late sergeant of the royal horse guards (blue) at present in the mounted revenue guards), before Lieut. Batt, R.N., and several experienced nautical men, and found to answer in every respect the purpose for which it is designed. It may be as well to a dd, that a wre c k having taken place on the 13th of November last, at Dunge ness, when two lives were lost, in consequence of the high sea preventing any communication from or to the shore, the idea of a kite on board the wreck, so as to be lowered at will when over the land, first struck Mr. Walker as the most feasible and certain method of rescue. This has been ac complished in such a simple manner that a child might manage it with precision, rising and falling within three feet of the earth, again rising without assistance, carrying out 100 fathoms of line, if necessary. Communication in the in stance of shipwreck at Dungeness would have been the means of saving the crew, had a " kite" been on board. Even uninhabited shores might be reached by an ordinary swimmer attaching the line under his arms. A light has been discovered to attach to the tail, which neither wind nor rain will extinguish, to be used at night, so that persons on shore may see its position. LAMENTABLE OCCURRENCE.—A most distressing case of suicide occurred in Dundee on Tuesday night last, arising out of the following circumstances :—A young man, belong ing to Forfarshire who had been for several years labouring under consumption, had been persuaded to come to Edin burgh for medical advice, which he did. A consulting physician here heard and examined his case, and we are informed, gave him to understand that it was hopeless. Of this, the young man wrote to his friends, and requested a brother to come forand conduct him home, but, without waiting for his arri val, took the coach to Dundee on Tuesday; and on the even ing of the same day, in an hotel in that town, seemingly un able to hear the sentence hanging over him, shot himself through the head, and died instantly. So determined bad the unfortunate youth been to effect his purpose, that he had put no fewer than three bullets into the pistol. His brother came to Edinburgh, as requested, but had passed him on the road unknowingly ; and on Wednesday forenoon was made acquainted, by his mutual friend, of the melancholy and fatal catastrophe.—Scottish Standard. The Rev. William Cockburn, D.D., late Dean of York, who has been deprived of his deanery for simony, was for merly of St. John's College, and was twelfth wrangler in 1795. He proceeded to the degrees of M.A. in 1798, and D.D. in 1823. He was the first-elected Christian Advocate, to which office he was appointed in 1803. Dr. Cockburn is the third son of the late Sir James Cockburn, of Langton, Berwickshire, brother of the present baronet, and of Vice- Admiral Sir George Cockburn, M.P. He married, in 1805, Elizabeth, second daughter of the late Sir Robert Peel, and sister of the present baronet. This lady died in 1828. Dr. Cockburn succeeded Dean Markham in 1822. The value of this preferment is about £1,250 per annum.—Cambridge Advertiser.—[Mr. H. W. Bull, solicitor to the dean, has announced that proceedings are in progress for the reversion of the sentence of deprivation, and are delayed only by the closing of the courts before which the case will be brought.] FORGERY AND SWINDLING ON A LARGE SCALE. —On the 15th of March last a person of prepossessing manners and gentlemanly exterior presented himself at the counting-house of Messrs. P. and L., eminent - merchants in London, with a letter of introduction, purporting to be from their corre spondents, Messrs. Chauviteau and Co., of Paris, in favour of the bearer, under the assumed name of the Chevalier Charles de la Motte. Upon the strength of this letter, and under the pretext of the arrangement of family affairs, the house of P. and L. were induced to discount certain bills of exchange, to a considerable amount, drawn by Messrs. En gler, of Brussels, upon and bearing the acceptance of the firm of Coutts and Co. The well-known signatures upon these bills were executed with such extreme accuracy that no suspicion of their genuineness was excited, and it was not until two days after, when the Chevalier failed to return for the balance, that suspicion was aroused, and on inquiry it proved that not only the bills, but the letters of introducti on , were forgeries. Conjecture was entirely at a loss to whom to attribute this skilful " coup," but by the active exertio ns of Mr. Lawson, solicitor, of Paris, it was traced to M—, a refugee Carlist, mixing in the best society in Paris, and who, by the active exertions of the Prefet de Police, was arrested at his residence on the 29th ult. Wor ds are wa nt i ng to con vey the indignation expressed by M— at being ide n tifi e d with the Chevalier de la Motte, which, however, was fully established on confronting him with a money-changer of the Palais Royal, to whom he had offered six £lOO Bank of Eng land notes for sale, and other evi dence, which will amply suffice for his conviction. By this means the London house recovers upwards of £2OOO, of which the ability of M— had well nigh plundered them. ST. PETER'S Cntaten.—We regret to learn that th e ru mours which have been for the la st fortnight current in the town as to the resignation of the Rev. Thomas Nolan, the Curate of St. Peter's, are correct, the Rev. Gentleman having accepted the pastoral care of one of the new Churches now erecting in Liverpool, and which we understand,will be open ed for divine worship sometime in Ju ne. Mr. Nolan has now resided amongst us about three years, and during that period has endeared himself not only to his own congregation, but all classes of the community, by the able, conscientious, and zealous manner in which he discharged the onerous and im portant duties committed to his charge. The congregation at St. Peter's, and the number of communicants, has been very much increased under his pastoral care—the principal pew holders, at his suggestion, having a year or two ago, materially enlarged the capacity of the church, by adding he arers , galleries to it, and thus providing, at a v ery moderate ex pense, accommodation for about 500 additional most of them being accommodated with free sittings: Sorry as we shall be to lose Mr. Nolan, we can hardly blame him for removing to a sphere of more extensive usefulness ; and we sincerely congratulate his new flock on the character of the Pastor they have been fortunate enough to secure. We trust that th ose u p on w hom the choice of his successor at St. Peter' s may devolve, may find a minister who will b u ild up the Church on the same foundation which Mr. Nolan has laid, and whose ministry may be equally acceptable to the poorer classes of society.—Stockport Advert i ser. &hipping Intelligence.

In bond, here, on the Ist instant, about 40,000 qrs. of Wheat. 65,000 brls. of Flour, SGOO qrs. of Beans, 600 qrs. of Peas, and 1000 qrs. Oats. In bond, in the United Kingdom, on the sth March last, 102,022 qrs. Wheat, 12,021 qrs. Oats, 9610 qrs. Barley, 1145 qrs. Beans, 4999 qrs. Peas, 42,000 brls. Flour. The weather has been particularly propitious during the last six months for all agricultural operations, and the winter and spring seed time have been most favourably accomplished; and although the winter has been severe, there has been a good covering of snow almost every where, except for about 50 miles around us, and reports are, uniformly favourable of the . crops every where, though the Wheat crops are reported thin in this district. The general appearance of the land is very favourable, and sufficiently forward, but it would be presumptuous to form any opinion of the next harvest from present prospects. Our present prices for almost every kind of Grain (excepting Irish Wheat, on account of the variety of the qualities) are about ls per respective bushel lower than at this time last year; and, as we anticipated in our annual letter of October last, have since varied very little from those then quoted; and though our stocks here are considered very small, it is believed the farmers generally still hold fully as much as usual at this season, and we may expect large im ports of Flour and Wheat from Canada, as well as from the European and American States, in a few weeks, which will be made available for home use by paying the duties: prospects, at present, do not warrant the anticipation of any great inert ase in prices until the produce of the ensuing harvest be more ascertain. able. Notice has been given in the House of Commons for a renewed discussion on the Corn Laws early next month—on which tantalizing subject we need no comments—our ideas (frequently expressed) remain unchanged. The imports and the demand have been equally moderate during the past week, the prices have remained with little variation. There is no alteration in the duties, and the transactions in bonded Grain or Flour have been merely in retail. 1000 brls. of Flour re ported to have changed hands at 235, arid 2000 bushels fine Dutch Oats 3s 5d to 3s 6d per 451bs for export. At this day's market a cargo of very fine Wheat just arrived from Wolgast sold, duty paid, at 10s per 701 b such quality being very scarce, but for all other articles there was little demand at about last week's prices.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, Aram 15. New Grass Butter goes off freely upon arrival at 120 s, and the finer kinds of old are also in good demand, at an advance of fully Is per cwt: upon our last quotations. The supply of all descrip tions has become very trifling. Holders of Beef and Pork offer more liberally,—the pacific tone of our American friends, evidently havingits influence. Bacon in tolerable demand at 40s to 51s. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, APRIL 13 A fair inquiry for Cotton to-day, and 2,500 bales sold at full prices —about 200 bales taken by exporters. COTTON MARKET. APRIL 14 A quiet market to-day, a fair inquiry for export, and we estimate the business at 3000 bales, of which 560 are placed to export, prin cipally in good Bowed and Orleans up to Bd. The market is steady; if any change since Friday last it is in favour of the buyer. COTTON MARKET, APRIL 15 The excitement caused by the arrivals from America to-day, has made the market appear unusually dull and inanimate, and we wrote upon something less than 2000 bales, all to the trade. The estimates of the crop are quite as low as previous advices, ranging from 16 to 1,8041,000 bales; but until an impetus is given to the Manchester trade, (consumers cannot and will not purchase more than will supply their immediate wants, which from the system of " short time" now pretty generally adopted, causes a considerable reduction in our weekly consumption. Holders are very firm, and do not press their stocks on the market, feeling assured that in a short time things will look brighter, and recover their wonted animation. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, APRIL 13 (Front the Circular of Messrs. James Scott 6 , Son.) On making up our statement of the imports of Grain, &c. for the last six months, and comparing them with those of the cor responding six months of last season, few remarks appear requisite ; the difference is hardly worth notice. Of Wheat, coastways, three fourths may be considered foreign, duty paid, brought chiefly from London, which have proved a very valuable supply to us, as the Irish Wheat, though better than last season, has proved of a very poor quality, and a very considerable quantity of foreign Wheat has gone from this to Ireland : the demand thus, and from our own millers and dealers, though to a more circumscribed circle than usual,.has been to a fair extent, and our stocks now here free, for home use, are considered very moderate, and may be estimated at about 50 000 qrs. of Wheat, 10,000 sacks and 12,000 brie. of Flour, 12,000 qrs. of Oats, 20,000 loads of Oatmeal, 3500 qrs Barley, 2600 qrs Beans, and 5000 qrs. Peas, including Canadian Grain and Flour, which, though some quantity of it may be still in bond, we con sider as free, the duty being only 5s per qr..on Wheat, ad 3s per brl. on Flour.
