The unfortunate in- O 't dual, who was remarkable for industry, and had accumu ed con s id era ble property, became fond of liquor some years e 49,, and so far debilitated himself, that he ,almost made it a a i tY practice. He was seen early on the fatal morning in the erects, and it is supposed he was ascending the ladder, to re 41° on the hay-mow, when he lost his feet, and was precipi ed into the rack and smothered. k week, WARNING.—An inquest was held on Thursday, in a Eotolph Workhouse, Rishopsgate, on the body of G.

Several Roman coins and vessels were also found. The King of Holland has granted permission to the English engineers, to pursue uninterruptedly, the construction of the iron railway recently commenced, in the vicinity of Amster dam. The iron ana the other materials are froth a British foundry.—Morning Herald, Nov. 27. AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT.—No less than sixteen distinct varieties of the potatoe tribe have been produced in the garden of Colonel Blacker, near Portadown, from the seed of last year. The fruit, or crabs as they are generally called in the country, were gathered at the usual time of potatoe digging, lasVseason, from ground planted solely with the kind called' Cups" aild " Apples." After being kept during the winter in a warm place, the seed was sown about February last in flower pots, and remained in a conservatory of moderate temperature—the young plants were set out in May in the usual manner, and the pro ducc'has been as above-mentioned. Two of thekiLds-are white,, one long or kidney shaped, .the other round, apparently of the description brought early into the Dublin market, under the name of " Wicklow Bangers." There are sundry varieties of pink, and mixed pink and white; the remainder are chiefly purple of every gradation of shape, terminating in a species nearly black ; one, in particular, exhibits, under a thin outward skin, a deep beet colour. They have excited much interest among the farmers in that quarter, to whom. Colonel B. has di rected them to be exhibited.—Nmery Telegraph. ATTACK ON BARON SMITH'S HOUSE,, T NEWTOWN.—On Monday last, about 2 o'clock in the morning, Baron Sinithts house,. at Newtown, in the King's county, about four miles from Tullamore, was attacked by a number of armed persons; every pane in every window in the front of the house was broken. One stone of immense size, WlliCh entered abed-room window, struck the bed, and was near killing a female servant who was sleeping there. Above.loo panes of glass were broken. Several shots were fired; some of the pieces were chargedwith large shot only, which lodged in and about the hall-door. One bullet (supposed to have been discharged from a rifle) pene trated a very strong hall-door, leaving a hole in it, and lodged in folding-doors, which separated the outer from the inner hall. A second bullet passed through the window-shutters of the din ing-parlour, struck the opposite wall, and was found upon the floor. Those within were repeatedly summoned by loud knocks to' open the door, but the summons was• not obeyed, an d th e door was too strong to be forced. All the windows of the front and back gate-houses were.broken, and the lead taken off the roof. The party next attacked and demolished the windows of the house of a tithe collector. The Baron, it is said, received threatening letters, denouncing him for his charges at Mary borough, and at the late commission. He had given employ ment to many, and had never had any difference with any of his neighbours. The learned Baron has hitherto been much beloved-and xespected.by the poor peasantry in the neighlSour haod. Diving his visits to Newtown he has invariably used every means to increase the comfort and happiness of all around him.—Dubitis Payer. IWXSCELLANEOUS. `THE BILL."--At Taunton, Mr. Cockburn, one of the re vising barristers for West Somerset, expressed his opinion, "That it becomes every true Reformer entirely to separate the political merits of the bill from the legislative ; it being a most consummate piece of legislative bungling." A entrain . FOR REVISING BARIIISTEES.- - The Morning Herald of Tuesday says:—" It was reported yesterday at Westminster, that the son of a Learned Judge, who is one of the revising. barristers, has had nine actions brought against him for mali ciously rejecting voters' names." THE SILK TitAbE.—The turn-out at Macclesfield appears to have had a good, effect on the silk weavers in this neighbour hood, the trade being remarkably brisk for the season, espe cially in fancy articles. At the corresponding period' last year, more than two-thirds of the weavers round Manchester were out of employment.—Manchester Courier. ROTTERDAM, Nov. 24.—1 t is supposed that all the British vessels have left this territory with the exception of the Chan ceit, from Newcastle, but it is expected that she will be allowed to proceed, not halving arrived till after the piomul gation of the decree. DEAL, Nov. 25.—His Majesty's ship Malabar, of 74 guns, arrived here yesterday from Plymouth, and to-day his Ma jesty's ship Childers arrived from Portsmouth. His Majesty's ship Rover sailed for the north sea yesterday, at noon. His Majesty's ships Malabar, Spartiate, Childers, and Snake, with the French ships La Suffren and Melpomene, remain. "THE GREY LIST" has just experienced another enlarge ment, The Right Hon. Lord Ponsonby, brother-in-law of Earl Grey, who was previously our minister to the Neapolitan Court, has received the appointment of ambassador extraordi nary to the Ottoman Porte, with the enormous salary of twelve thousand pounds a-year. Thus smoothly and pleasantly are the good things of this life showered upon the never-ending "family circle." This shall not be forgotten in our forthcoming new and improved edition of the much dreaded " Grey List." —Newcastle - .Tournal. _ . . THANKSGIVINO.—The inhabitants of Blackpool wishing to express their gratitude for their preservation front the cholera during the last summer, offered on Thursday the Bth inst., in the church, a public thanksgiving to Almighty God. The incumbent, the Rev. Mr. Thornber addressed a crowded audience on these appropriate words, erom Numb. 16-c. 48 v.— "-He stood between the dead and the living, and the plague was stayed." This good example should be followed in all our towns and villages, for we feel a hope that the body of the people will joyfully avail themselves of the opportunity of expressing their thanks for their deliverance.—Preston Pilot. DISTURBING DIVINE WORSHIP.—On Thursday evening se'nnight, during the performance of divine service at St. George's Church, Hulme, two men named George Kennedy and Henry Evans, entered the church in a state of intoxica tion, and behaved in a most riotous and indecent manner. One of them, immediately after the reading of the psalm was concluded, called to the clergyman who was officiating for the Rev. J. Lingard, and told him to make a less noise. The parties were with much difficulty removed from the church, and with the assistance of the police, conveyed to the lock-ups. They were brought before the magistrates at the New Bailey, and ordered to find sureties to keep the peace, in default of which they were committed.—Manchester Courier. THE PASHA.—However familiar this title may be to Euro pean ears, its real _meaning and derivation are scarcely familiar even to the "erudite few." The word, itself is compounded of the Persian "pal Shaw," or the she's foot, and is a standing memorial of the designations which, according to Xenophon ' Cyrus bestowed on his officers of state, calling them his feet, hands, eyes, and ears. Those entrusted with domestic affairs were styled " eyes ;" the secret emissary was termed " the ear;" the tax-gatherer "the hands ;" the warrior "the foot;" and the judge, as mouthpiece of the law, "the tongue of equity." Of so remote an institution as this is the name of the present Turk ish Pashas, who, in their several capaCities of governor, gene ral, and Vizier, or minister, are appositely styled the " feet of their master." FRAUD ON THE PARISH OFFICERS AT MANCHESTER.—An Irishman, who gave his name Thos. Dockeray, butwho has also answered to several other names, was placed at the bar of the New Bailey•on Monday, charged by Mr. Redmond, the assis tant overseer, with having obtained relief from the_ overseers of Manchester, through the fraudulent representations of hi s wife. Abput• two years ago, this woman went to.the Churchwardens' office, and represented herself as a widow with a large family, for whom she requested relief. Upon this representation she -has ever since continued a weekly pensioner upan the poor rates, and it was only a..few days ago that it was ascertained that Dockeray was her husband , their children having beim artfully. trained by the parents to call him by differant names, so as to elude the inquiries of the overseer. It was clearly proved by the prisoner's daughter, that he was privy to the fraud; the magistrates therefore.ordered him to find two sure ties, to,apswer the charge at. the sessions, and in default thereof he Was eenunitted to prison.—ilfenehester Courier. A BANK RUPTRADICAL CoMMITTEE. — WM. Barnett, an Irishman,- who-had -beau. employed. by Celalieit.s. cummittee iu c:anvassing the electors, and-endeavouring to enforce the system of exclusive dealing which they recommended, summoned Mr. Whittle," - the editor of the. Advertiser, to-the Court of Requests,• on Wednesday se'naight, for wages amounting. to £3. The , plaintiff, in answer to questions from Mr. Hill, the chief-com missioner, admitted that although he was anxious to see "th e ,man of the people" returned for Manchester, he had not the good of: his country so much at heart as. to lose his time in working .for him. He had summoned Mr. Whittle, because he had paid him one day's wages, and he understood that he was authorised by the committee to pay the remainder. Three witnesses, were called to proye the case, but each of. them swore that- the committee _were the plaintiff's employers, atia.not Mr. Whittle,,aud that gr. Whittle had declared if, a shilling would -satisfy all the claims, he would not pay it. A sum•ot £9 15s. .was .stated-to be due to various persens employed as the plain tiffirad-been; but-when:the bill was presented.tothe.romrnittee ' • the answer was "..no.effects." Mr. Hill said that the plaintiff •must be, non-suited, and he added, that Cobbett had au ad mirable committee, if this was their mode of proceeding.— . itca-uvbaster Courier,. FOR A JUDGESHIP. — The ministry are still struggling for another vacancy; among the high places in the law.

Still, a careful examination of the list, we are informed, proves.that Mr. Cuthbert Rippon, who erst had the mob har nessed to his carriage, and shouting at, his heels, is not so sure of success as those demonstrations of support from the non voting part of the community would lead - ,a casual obser v e r t o anticipate. There are, even in Gateshead, a great number of eleotors who believe that men who have violated the aligations of domestic life, are unfit to be entrusted with the interests- of a. mighty nation. They •belieVe - that the best ouarantee for faithful rorforinitace of a public krtl;4, is to ne found, not in strong pledges, w i holesale promises, or a violent- desire or change, but in private worth, an unsullied character, and repo taliintunbleinished, We assert not that Mr. Bippon lacks any of these requisites, but if the electors are of a. difletent opinion, that is no fault of Ours, but may prove a misfortune for the elec tioneering interests of Mr. Rippon.

The two latter are here, and speeches are nightly made from the windows of their quarters, but we are not - in the habit of attendin g . On Wed nesday night, we understand, there was a bit ofa row, occa sioned by the interposition of Mr. Seger, the barrister, and leader of the Crompton party. It appears that he made-some nbservationrwbile Mr. Hunt was speaking, and being forced 'up stairs, he received some unceremonious treatment.- We-de not find that he was nineh beaten, but his garments were sadly Corn, one half of his coat being rent away and carried off. In consequence of -what took place it was announced, on Mr. Watkinson's . authority, that Capt. Forbes would meet the electors as yesterday at noon, to be chateehised, but on Thurs day night the Captain denied having given M'r.

It was decided that he should attend the court, and therefore he did not make his appearance yereer day. Mr. Segar and others of Mr. Crompton's friends tended, but. aim was, in fact, no meeting..

WHITBY.—For the borough of Whitby the question - of .pro tection„or no protection, of free trade and a nuseelled recipro gay, in opposition, to our ancient system of commercial and trading legislation, is brought forward, perhaps, more promi nently than in any other place. The two cen,clidates are both gentlemen, whose rank and fortune, as well as - their private eharacter, will entitle them to - solicit the-suffrages of-the elec tors ; but they take their stand on op,posite principles ; and Whilst Mr. Chapman is a supporter of that. system under which England flouriilied, and her flag was wafted triumphantly to all qearters of-the globe, Mr. Moorsom defends those liberal prin ciples, the supporters of which, forgetting "the patriot'sboast," Those "first best country ever is his home," seem to' main through the world in search of nations and individuals who are to be made happy and prosperous at the expense of England. We are. aware, that these cosmopolites - do not intend to sink theii- own country by exalting others—we will neither insult their good sense nor their amor patrice by supposing such a thing ; but such is the tendency of their mcasnres, and we re joice, that in NlThithy, which e kes suffered so much from the "Ilheral system," so'decided a stand has been made against the "liberal" candidate. From the events -of the last few da t ys, tee defeat of that candidate and the triumphant success of Mr. Chapman are placed beyond the possibility of doubt. On Fri day, Saturday, and Moxidaylast, the revising barristers, Messrs. Loch, and-Gray, held their court:at the - Angel Whitby, forAins.purpose of revising the list of voters, and the result shows a most decided majority for Mr. Chapman. This was-an event entirely unlocked for by the party of Mr. Moor .. sous, who, notwithstanding they must be well aware of the fact, still boast, in a hand-bill issued on the 19th inst., that Mr. Moorsom has " reeds-Lied pled g es and promises of support and neutrality from such a number as will give him a decided ma jority at the poll," to which he pledges himself to go, and " thereto . abide, until the last man has given his vote."— shire Ciazette. : . ‘!” RAIL-ROADS AND STEAM:ON THE -CONTINENT.--A railroad between the Weser and the Rhine is about to be commenced; it' has received the sanction of the King and States of Ilanover, and -a company, supported by government, has been formed to. carry it into effect: .Several hundred shares, of 500 thalers each, have been•taken. • The execution of this plus will be of great advantage - to the trade of the northof-Germany,.particulaxlv of Bremen.
