MURDER. AND SUICIDE.—A desperate attempt at mur der was made, it will be remembered, in February last, by John Lillingrap, a servant to Mr. W. A.' Yeo, High Sheriff of Devon, who shot and severely wounded W. Symonds, a fellow-servant, and believing he bad killed the man, he immediately took to flight, and was never heard of afterwards until last Wednesday, when his body was discovered in the river Taw by some gentlemen en gaged in duck shooting. It was only by his clothing, &c.; that he was identified. The body had evidently been in the water some months, and it is conjectured that he had drowned himself a short time after his attempt at murder, his watch having stopped at half an hour after the period of the event. FACTORlES.—According to a parliamentary return, the total number of factories of all kinds in the united kingdom is . 4,330, containing 25,638,716 spindles, and 298,916 powerlooms. The moving power employed in 108,113 is steam, and 26,104 in water. In the silk-throw ing mills, 1,737 boys and 3,916 girls, b e t ween 1 1 and 13, are employed. The total number of children under 13 years of age employed in factories who attend school is 19,400 boys, and 15,722 girls. The total nnmber of males employed between 13 and 18 is 66 864, that of females above 13 is 329,577, and that of males above 18 is 157,866. The total number of persons of both sexes employed in factories is 596,082. A TASTE FOR PICKLES.—A workman in the employ of knthony Hill, Esq., at Merthyr Tydvil, lately ordered d gin bage.

ENTHUSIAST.—It is with much regret that we nnounce the death of Mr. M'lntosh, violin-maker, ometime residing in Dovecotland, and lately of Dublin. M'lntosh was an Highlandman, and having there acquired the art of violin-making, afterwards went to Ireland, where he commenced business. Here he was very suc cessful, both because he produced good articles and was extremely steady. He realized above £3OO annually, having got extraordinary prices for his instruments, some of them selling at the enormous sum of £lO, £l5, and £3O each. He also supplied the famed Paganini with violin strings, who highly appreciated his workmanship. Subsequently, however, M'lntosh tried to invent the " perpetual movement," which so many have failed in— left Dublin to get rid of his friends, who greatly opposed him in the matter, and came to Scotland. He has now b'en continually working at the affair for eleven years, the latter four or five of which he spent in an attic in Dovecotland, above-mentioned. He died on Wednesday morning, at one o'clock. Up to the 11th hour he kept his door shut against the kindness of friends and neigh bours, and never would he admit a single individual to afford him assistance. Starvation and poverty were his only visitors.—Perthshire Advertiser. SUNDAY POSTAL DELIVERY.—The regulations referred to in the following notice came into operation on the 15th instant :—" General Post-office, December, 1850.—For the purpose of enabling the public to decline the receipt of letters on the Sunday, the following regulations will come into operation on and from the 15th instant, and they are to be made known at the various post-offices to all persons seeking information on the subject :-1. Any person can have his letters retained in the post-office on Sunday until the next day, by giving to the postmaster a written order, duly signed, to that effect. 2. Such order must include newspapers, as no distinction between letters and newspapers can be allowed. 3. On the same prin ciple, no distinction can be made between ordinary letters and letters of importance, notwithstanding any directions which the latter may bear for their immediate delivery. 4. No letters or newspapers, the non-delivery of which by the leter-carrier on Sunday has been ordered, can be obtained from the post-office window on that day. 5. Private box-holders will still have the option of applying for their letters at the office while it is open for delivery on Sunday, or of abstaining from so doing, as they may think proper; but no nerson can be permitted to engage a private box for Sunday only. 6. To prevent the confu sion and inconvenience which would arise from the fre quent changing of these orders, no order can be attended to unless given for three months at the least, nor can any be withdrawn, without a week's previous notice. DARING FEAT OF HORSEMANSHIP.—At the stewards' ordinary, at the White Hart Hotel, Aylesbury, after the aristocratic steeple-chases yesterday week, the conversa tion turning on the feat of bringing a horse up into the dining-room in which the company were then assembled, which was once done by Lord Jocelyn and Mr. Ricardo during the meeting of the Royal Hunt some few years ago, Mr. Charles Symonds, of sporting notoriety at Oxford, offered to bring a grey horse of his upstairs and lead him round the table. No sooner was this said than done, for off he started, fetched the animal from the stable, and very shortly announced his progress by a loud clattering on the old oak staircase. In a few minutes the horse was gazing on the assembled company. His owner then led him over a flight of chairs, which he jumped beautifully. Nothing then would satisfy the company but that he must jump the dining-tables. Mr. Fowler, the proprietor of the hotel, fearing lest some serious accident might occur, as the room is of great antiquity, having been built by the Earl of Rochester in the time of Charles 11., made strong objections; but he was overruled, and the horse was led over the tables, everything standing. The champagne glasses rattled, the plates quivered, the candlesticks shook. but nothing was displaced ; back again he went, clearing everything at a bound ; whereupon a most ardent sports man, 'Mr. Manning, of Wendover, volunteered to ride him barebacked over, and, to the astonishment of all pre sent, he accomplished it without bridle or saddle. The celebrated gentleman jock, Captain Barlowe, next essayed, and managed to make a smash of one table with its con tents. This was only a temporary check, for in the face of a tremendous fire and the cheering of all present he achieved the feat gallantly. It was now time to desist, and to ge,p the horse down stairs ; this was sooner said than done, for the stairs and passages being kept polished the gallant grey slipped about dreadfully, and was evi dently afraid of the descent. At length. at the suggestion of a weeny baronet, he was blindfolded, and thus de scended into the entrance-hall, but managed to break about a dozen of the carved oak bannisters in his pro gress.—Bucks Chronicle virilowst William Ormerod Pllkington Esq., of the T'l t he has this week been pl ace d on ' the ommissioa for co An unt . ..... .---- association, t of whi c h M r .

Whether or no the Duke of Buecleuch took stock recently, we know not, but the one we allude to was evidently of gentle blood. Information was communicated to Brampton, where an old sportsman or two reside. Two men were despatched at the dead of night to bring the Gilsland }larders. They arrived at Brampton next morning, and proceeded direct to Hayton, where they were met by a large concourse of people. They were immediately taken to Toppin's Castle planta tion, which they drew blank. But the dogs having here challenged him, made him away to Howhunnel Wood. After drawing it—our visitor h av i ng s li pped out behind— the view halloo was given, and the dogs being brought up, they laid themselves down to the novel and exciting scent in a most beautiful manner. In a few minutes they came up to their game, near Toppin's Castle plantation, and went at a slashing pace past Mr. Head's tile-kiln, turning to the left towards Broadwath, and made direct to Eden, which he crossed a little below the railway bridge. Find ing the hounds to be getting rather more near than plea cant, he crossed the river again near the church, and pas sing through Mr. Hamilton's garden qt Warwick Bridge, made towards the preserves of T. H. Graham, Esq., of Edmond Castle. here he crossed th e r i ver I rt hi ng , making direct to Newby, crossing the military road near Watch Cross, and bearing away to Beanlands, the pro perty of John Bell, Esq., thence to the left to Hurtleton Wood. Being now hotly pressed by the gallant pack, he was forced to take the open--a fine hunting country. The hounds all well up. The horsemen were however now greatly diminished, none but fast ones being able to live. Turning to the west, he now passed the old wall through Scaleby Meadows, and leading away to the north, crossed the Longtown road, directing his course to the river Ly.ne. He was, however, finally run into at a small brook near Scare Farm, only three horsemen being up at the death.
