ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. SOUTH LANCASHIRE WINTER ASSIZES. In consequence of the painful domestic circumstances which called Mr. Baron Alderson to London, the Crown Court was adjourned on Saturday, and the only cases taken were in the Second Court, before Mr Sergeant Chanty 1, who opened the court at nine-o'clock. SECOND COURT .—SATURDAY. VIIL%TION.—Jatnes Atkinson was charged with having, on the 14th October, at Preston, committed a rape upon Elizabeth Ta!lantine. The prisoner was a bailiff, and ;. came to the hmise of the prosecutrix, a married woman, whose husband had left her, to execute a warrant at the suit. of her landlord for rent. The prosecutrix was una bl e to pay, and the prisoner offered to take a letter to the landlord on her behalf. He took the letter and returned, saying the landlord's wife would hear of no terms, but he told the prosecutrix if she would pay six shillings for costs he would make some arrangement. She said she had not the money, but that she would pawn her blankets. He advised her to do so, and she went up stai rs t o h er b e d room to get the blankets.i lie followed her up, and there attempted to take liberties with her. She resisted, and asked him would he have the heart to injure a destitute woman ? He said he would have his ends, and after a struggle, in which the prosecutrix declared that she screamed and resisted to the utmost of her power, he succeeded in effecting his purpose. Mr. Cross prosecuted, and the prisoner was defended by Mr. Fernby. The jury, after half as hour's deliberation, returned a verdict of guilty. The prisoner was convicted of felony in 1847, and suffered a short term of imprisonment. Since that period, and up to the time of his committing the offence of which he was now convicted, his conduct was reputable. His Lordship in passing sentence observed, that though the prisoner's offence had not been attended with that violence `7,ltivh usually attended such cases, yet that it cali ed w i t h i t peculiar circumstances of aggravation. ;le had obtained admission into the house undo- one sanction of the law, and while profbssing kinj7:ess to the prosecutrix, availed himself of the oPPortianity, evie..ntly created by himself, to commit by tree the off ence o f w hi c h h e h a d b een found gait The '., - ntence of the court was, that he • be trans:orted for the term of fifteen years. 5- "nes ildthell, aged 20, a sawyer, was put on his trial I. °r / "....ing, at Liverpool, on the 18th of October, 1856, teronionsly assaulted and ravished Mary Ann Forrester. 7 14?. Aspinall prosecuted, and the prisoner was defended by Mr. Scott. From the statement of the learned counsel it appeared the, prosecutrix was about eighteen years of age, and was dependent on her own industry for a livelihood, her parents being so destitute as to be compelled to seek the shelter of the workhouse. About half-past-seven 'o'clock on the night of the 18th October last ? She Was proceeding on business -to Parliament 'street. The ,prisoner, whom she did not recognise at the time, but with whom she had before a very slight acquaintance, met her and solicited her to go to walk with him. She refused, but in order to get rid of his importunities, as she alleged, she consented to take a glass of ale from him. They entered a public house, and he called for two glasses of ale. He drank one, but, being drunk, as he was handing the other to her he upset the contents of the glass over her dress. He induced her to visit a second public house, but as she veftlsed tti drink any ale, ,he himself drank the two Sasses foi whiCh be had called. He then left her, but As She was hastening home by Back Carter street he 'itc l ain came up with her. He struck her in the face, knocked her up against a back door, and he then endeavoured to commit the offence for which he was now on his trial. She made all the resistance she could, and screamed aloud. Her screams were heard, though the prisoner endeavoured to stifle them by throwing his handkerchief over her mouth, by the police-officer on dUty in the neighbouring street. She succeeded after souse time in loosening herself from his grasp, but as she was attempting to run away he put his foot before her, and tripped her up. She fell on her side, and overcoming her struggles, by placing his knee on her chest he corn initted the offence. The constable who heard the screams catite up almost immediately afterwards, and found the prisoner adjusting his dress. He at once took him into custody. The prisoner admitted that he had had connection with her, but alleged that it was with her consent. The constable, on being examined, stated, that when ha came up the prosecutrix hesitated for some minutes before she charged the prisoner with the offence. Her hair was not tossed, but her bonnet was off. The surgeon who examined her afterwards, discovered n) marks of violence on her person, and was of opinion that the act had been committed with her consent. The jury, after a brief consultation, acquitted the prisoner, who was at once discharged from custody. We should also state, that additional doubt was thrown on the pioseeutrix's testimony, from the fact that she is now in custody on a charge of felony. The court rose shortly after four o'clock. ACCIDENT ON TnE GREAT NORTHERN lasirmAY.—tarly nn Friday on accident occurred on the Great rth ern tt n ailwAy. The up luggage train was approaching Hatfield station when it suddenly ran off the line, and several of the carriages were broken. N 9 person was injured. The engineer attributes the accident to the rails giving way, owing to the heavy rains. LITERARY GOSSIP.—We find the following in Siturday's Illustrated London News : —The literary event of the week is the publication, by Routledge and Ca., of the new volume of poems, by Charles Mackay, with the suggestive and pleasant title of " Under Green Leaves." The first meeting of the season of the Graphic Society, long an established favourite with all sensible artists, was held on Wednesday last, in the library of the London University. The attendance was good. The things shown were better than usual. Hans Christian Anderson, the fairy novelist of Danmark, comes to winter in England, and will be very -sselcome ; and if there be any mother so ignorant of her duties to her nursery as not to have provided it with the fairy legends—in which the commonest articles of every day life are endowed with an existence, and with pa'sions and caprices, in the most delightful way ; the extreme of gravity and whimsicality blending in dialogues and nar ratives of the richest humour—let her forthwith repair her fault, and thank Hans Christian Anderson for thus giving us an opportunity of recommending her to do so. The children of England should erect a Christmas tree in the Crystal Palace in his honor. Some extraordinary pictures of the coronation of the Czar, at Moscow, the fair of Nijni Novogorod, and scenes in parts of Rassis, have been furnished by the Russian authorities for the Dioramic Tour in Russia, which is to be opened at the Great Globe, Lei cester square, next week. STAMPING OF LETTERS BT THE POST OFFICE.-011 Friday last Lord Chief Justice Campbell, in the Court of Queen's Bench, intimated that he had communicated with his Grace the Duke of Argyle, her Majestj's Postmaster-general, with respect to the post office marks on letters, which were really discreditable to that department of the Government. Continental letters always showed the places through which they passed, and the date of their postage in the most dis tinct manner, as many gentlemen at the bar must have observed ; but the stamp on English letters was so blotched that no letter or figure could be distinguished. This pro duced most serious inconvenience, not only to individuals, but in the administration of justice in both civil and crimi nal courts, He had himself, since he had been a judge, seen the course of justice most seriously obstructei by these marks being illegible. H e was sure the Postmaster General was most earnestly desirous to do all in his power to remedy the evil, and there would be no difficulty in doing so, because be had only to ascertain how letters were stamped on the Continent, where there was no reason to complain. A case had been tried during the present sittings in which a question arose as to the time when a letter was posted and delivered, and the marks were so indistinct that it required a person from the post office to make a conjecture as to what they indicated. He really hoped that he should have no reason in future to make any complaint upon the sulject. Tan FRENCH MARRIAGE LAW.—A Paris letter in the Emancipation of Brussels has the following :—" Two years ago Colonel left with his regiment for the Crimea: As he had been bethrothed several months to Mademoiselle —, who was gravely ill, he demaneed that before leaving Paris a religious marriage should be celebrate] between them. The young lady and her family having consented, they were united according to the forms of the Catholic Church. Five months later the colonel, who was then at Constantinople, learned that Mademoiselle had com pletely recovered from her malady, and was about to join him. She arrived, and it was determined between them t sat the celebration of a civil marriage, which, according to the French law, was required, should be postponed until after the return of the colonel to France. The 1 idy after wards left Turkey and returned to her family. Peace concluded, the colonel, whose regiment was one of the first to reave the East, returned to France ; but, instead of hastening to his bride, he remained far from Paris, where she resided, and without giving any explanation of such con d uc t. Nevciations took place between the lady's family and the gentleman, but without leading to any satisfactory result, as he persisted in remaining away from her. Under these circumstances the young lady has brought sn action before the civil tribunal to compel him to make her lawfully his wife by celebrating. a civil marriage, or to pay her 100,0001. damages. It is believed that the affair will be pleaded before the end of the month. M. Berryer is charged to defend the gentleman, and M. Nogent Saint Laurent is the a ivocate of the lady. It is said that the latter and her family, before commencing the action, obtained the formal sanction of the Archbishop of Paris. The question raised is of considerable importance as to the vali lity of religious marriages." etsti.. tf. ;i.

LIVERPOOL. DEFORM MR HAYWOOD. A Petit OF JOL'IY TOFERS,—.LAIa Uorrison and James Mullen were charged with a burglary in the public house of Mr. IsPlieverigan, Great Charlotte Street, and for having stolen jars containing rum, gin, and whisky to the value of £lO out of the prosecutor's cellar. The facts were these; it appeared that Mullen has a cellar, which he occupies as a workshop, next a yard belonging to Mr. Hays in Great Charlotte Street. This yard is next to Mr. Mlteverigan's • premises. The latter, for the past six months, was in the habit of missing spirits and other articles from his cellar, but could not find out the thief, although he did every thing to do so. The house was closed up on Friday night in the usual way. About three in the morning, a police officer saw the prisoner Morrison in the street, carrying a five gallon jar, full of rum, and as he gave a" rum " account of how he came by it, he locked him up. A searth was then made, and the officers found that the cellars of the press cutor had been entered and several jars and quart bottles of rum, girt, and whisky stolen therefrom. The cellar had been entered thus •—Out of Mullen's ( he prisoner) cellar, some one got into Mr. Hay's yard, and then over the wall into Mr. McKeverigan's premises. Here the kitchen was broken into and the cellar entered. The police, on search ing Mullen's cellar, found him lying with his head on a five gallon jar, full of whisky, which, added the policeman, made a pillow for him (loud laugh) and another at his back by way of blanket to keep him warm (renewed laughter,) The officers also found several other Cars aril bottles full of spirits in the cellar. The prosecutor fully identified one of the jars as his property, and although he would not swear to the others, he had no doubt they belonged to him, as lie missed thu ;anae sort, and the same liquor as these con tainP'?„ The prisoners told a long story about how fortunate they were in fading the liquor, and of course concluded by the usual declaration of " innocent as the child unborn." Other people may be found " soft" enough to c-edit the story, but his worship fully committel the prisoners for teial. BEFORE MR. MANSI'IELD. MONEY AND MtNtrres.—A boy who belonged to a ship just arrived, was brought up on a charge of having at tempted to smuggle a bottle of brandy. The lad was got leaving the ship with the brandy, which he obtained in a legitimate manner, and it was evident he was quite igno rant of doing anything illegal, as lie knew nothing of the law of the case. Mr. Mansfield said, under the circum- stances of the case, be would fine the bov lOs , or to be im prisoned for ten minutes. The poor lad at once began to try his pockets for the cash, but on a sudden he looked up at the clock, and shrugging up his shoulders, drew his hand from his pocket, and endured with apparent fortitude the lengthy imprisonment, thereby saving his money. STABBING.—John Plunkett was charged with having slabbed a youth named Bernard Murphy. The complain ant went into a passage in Sawney Pope.stre(t the previous night. Whilst there, the prisoner rushed on him and struck him two or three blows about the face and head with some sharp instrument. He was covered with blood, and cut seriously in the cheek. The prisoner alleged that the complainant insulted his wife in the passage; but this was strongly denied, and the prisoner was sent for trial at the sessions. SMUGGLING.—Edward Cook, the second mate of the ship Shamrock, who stood remanded on a charge of having smuggled a large quantity of tobacco, was brought up. Mr. Tyndall prosecuted, Mr. Gluck defended. The facts of this case were published a few dips ago, and the prisoner only awaited the decision of the board in London. This being given against the prisoner, the bench had no alternative but to inflict the fine of £lOO, or, in default of payment, six months' imprisonment. The primer was committed in default of paying the fine. THE LATE DARING GARROTTE ROBBERY, AT BIRKENHEAD. On Saturday tie two men, F. Jones and J. Jones, charged with assaulting and robbing Mr. Singlehurst, of Birkenhead, on the evening of Saturday last, were again brought up before Messrs. Bryan and Jackson. Povey and M'Culloch, of the Liverpool detective force, who appre hended the two prisoners on Monday night, at Jim Clarke's boxing crib, near Williamson-square, were in attendance. Mr. Daggers, solicitor, appeared to watch the case in behalf of the accused. When the case was called on, Detective-officer Povey applied to have the persons further remanded, on two grounds—first, that they had not at present succeeded in finding the property stolen ; and, secondly, that Mr. Singlehurst was so indisposed that he was unable to attend. Mr. Daggers opposed the application. But the magistrates decided in further remanding the case, and they thought they were justified in so doing, by the fact that Mr. Singlehurst had already identified one of the prisoners, as the man who held his arms wile the others were robbing , him. The prisoners were accordingly remanded. REDPATII'S Housgs.—The following horses were sold by auction, by the Messrs. Tattersall, by order of the assignees of Leopold Redpath, a bankrapt :—A brown tnare, has been ridden hack, 32 guineas; two brown geldings, have been constantly driven together, one sold for 78 guineas, the other for 75 guineas; a brown pony, has been driven in harness, 17 guineas. NEW NEPTUNE.—In the course of Virile excavations just made at Cherchell, in Algeria, a statue of Neptune in white marble, about seven feet eight inches high, was dig. covered. The left arm and leg had fallen off, but the frogs ments of them were collected. The head was separated from the trunk, but fitted it perfectly ; the nose was slightly injured. The statute has been deposited in the Archas Jlogical Museum at Cherchell. I IA decision of the Board of Inland Revenue is causing considerable dissatisfaction among the shipowners of the Tyne. We have before stated that the Income-tax Corn • missioners well not allow averages or insurance on ship or cargo on the mutual principle as a deduction from income ; the Commissioners of Inland Revenue have confirmed this decision. They say sums paid for mutual insurance cannot be deducted from profit—that is to say, payments made on policies so mush positive per cent, premium they will allow, but not sums disbursed under conditional circum stances, as in the case of averages pail by shipowners to mutual insurance societies. Above £3,000,000 worth of property is insured in the north on the mutual principle.— Letter from Shields. COLONIAL Pos.r&oa.--The Gazette contains a Treasury warrant revoking certain warrants previously issued, and stating that packets consisting of books, publications, or works of literature or art, whether British, colonial, or foreign, and all packets consisting of printed votes and mo:.•eedings of the Imperial Parliament or the Colonial Legislatures, may he transmitted by the post between any part of the United Kingdom and any parts of the colonies, respectively, of New Zealand, New South Wales, South Australia, Western Australia, and Tasmania, and that on every such packet so transmitted, under the provisions of this warrant as aforesaid, if not exceeding Ilb. in weight, there shall be charged for the trasmission thereof the uni form rate of 81. ; for every such packet exceeding llb. in weight, there shall be charged, taken, and paid such pro gressive and additional rated of postage as are directed to be charged on and in respect of the several packets men tioned, and contained in and authorized to be transmitted by the post, under the provisions of the said recited war rant, bearing date the 22nd of February, 1855, and remain ing unrepealed. TaEssonet-TaovE.—The classic village of Dromconrath, County Meath, was on Tuesday, 25th ult., thrown into a state of considerable excitement by the announcement of a discovery which for the extent was fully coequal in yield with California, Ballarat, or even Geelong itself. As some workmen in the employment of Henry C. Singleton, Esq , of Aclarc Castle, were opening a drain or a portion of ground where a house was in which the late Mr. Patrick Steen lived, they came on an old crock in which were snugly encased somewhere about three hundred old guineai",' bearing the time-honoured physiognomy of the good old' George the 3rd of blessed memory. The accredited history of the precious metal is, that Mr. Steen, having been rob bed about thirty-five years ago of a large quantity of plate, was influenced by fear and buried this money in his bed room fluor, the very spot where the drain is sunk, and hay ing died in his dotage, did not reveal the whereabouts to his only daughter, Mrs. Ward, wife of Patrick Ward. Esq., .of Rallyloughan, near Carrickmacross. whose property in law, equity, honour, and justice, it should he. However, Mr. Ward is in safe hands, as than H. C. Singleton, Esq., no more honourable man can exist.—Newry Examiner. SERIOUS FIRES IN LONDON.—On Friday afternoon, about half past one o'clock, a fire which at one time threatened the most disastrous eenseTeences happened in the premises belonging to Mr. Pearce, a cabinet maker, situate in B inner square, St. Luke's. The fire commenced in the workshops at the rear of the dwelling, and when discovered was seizing upon a number of tables and chairs. The fire was net subdued until the stock in trade was cons;derably damaged. The sufferer was insured. A fire also broke out on Friday morning in the extensive premises of Mr. Adams, wheel wright and tyre smith, Red Lion Yard, Warner street, Clerkenwell. The building in which the fire originated was nearly 70 feet long and 25 feet wide. The two upper floors were used by Mr. Holmes as workshops and stores, but the lower floor was occupied by Mr. Isaacs as coach houses, Owing to the dry state of the building and the highly combustible nature of the stock in trade, the flames extended with such impetuosity thet in less than ten minutes after the first alarm was given the fire had taken complete possession of every part of the premises. The engines having arrived and plenty of water having been procured, the firemen set to work, but they were unable to get the flames under until the whole of the building and the stock in trade belonging to Mr. Adams were consumed. The property of Mr. Isaacs has also been reduced to ruins, e including r an expensive van. Mr. Adams was uninsured, Du' • Isaacs was insured in the Sun.

FEARFUL ACCIDENT-A MAN AND A WOMAN BIIIINED TO DEA 111, One of the most fearful accidents which has taken ' place for many'years in Liverpool, occurred yesterday morning, and resulted in the destruction of two persons, a woman and a man, who were literally burned to death. A small street, ending in a etc' rie-sar, called liaglan.place runs off Athol-street, at the north-end of the town, and in the immediate Vicinity of Great Howard•street. In a house, No. 7 of Raglan-place, a man, named James Frowe lived with his wife and children. Most of the houses in this neighbourhood are occupied by several families, but in this instance Frowe and his family had the whole house. Underneath, however, was a cellar, which was occupied by a man named Daniel M`Killop, an engine tenter, and his wife Jane M`lieillop. This unfortunate man and woman, whose burnt corpses are now lying in the dead-house, appeared to have been of Very intemperate habits. The woman is said to have been lying in b. - ;d drunk for several weeks back. On Saturday night she had a bottle of whiskey on a table next to her bed, and an nil lamp. The man Daniel M‘Killop was seen coming home drunk, with a man living in a neighbouring cellar, on Saturday evening. He went for a short time into the cellar of his companion, and then returned to 11;s own. It is stated that he carried home with him a bottle of rum to drink. Frowe, who is a joiner, came home on Saturday night with his wife, entered their house and locked the door. Before going to bed Frowe thought he heard a slight crackling, but having searched and discovered no cause, he supposed it to be a noise made by a little Skye terrier he had in the room. His wife and he retired to bed in a room off the principal room. About a quarter-past six yesterday morning, his eldest boy, aged about 12, who slept with the other children in a garret overhead, was aroused by a crackling of fire below. Thinking it was his mother 1 lighting the fire, he came down into the principal room, and there saw flames bursting upwards through the floor. He ran into the bedroom and alarmed his father and mother. Frowe jumped up, and as quickly as he could huddled his wife and children into the street. He then ran back, in the hope of saving some of their little pro perty, but the room was so filled with flames that, after having, had, his hair, whiskers, and face singed, and having been struck on the knee by a burning fragment, he had to save himself. and leave all his effects to be destroyed. In a few moments the whole house was blazing, the stair case falling in just as Frowe got out. The street:was quite empty, except for himself, his wife, and children. He called " fire "as loud as he could, and was about to run for aid when he saw by the red glare through the door that the cellar was also filled with flame. llp to this time it had probably not occurred to him that it was here the fire began, and not in his own house. A neighbour coming up at that moment they made an effort to burst into the cellar. Several others gradually came up; and at last an entrance was effected, when a hideous spectacle presented itself. 'The fire had blazed upwards through the floor of the room above, and the bare walls of the cellar rendering it now comparatively clear, they saw the body of a woman in a half-sitting posture partly) supported by a wall, just where she had fallen when the bed was burned under her. Her arms and legs were burnt off, and the trunk and face charred beyond recognition: Just near the door the man was found lying on his face. He had probably crawled so far in his stnpified and drunken efforts at escape, and being unable to get farther was burnt to death. His sides, back, and legs are described as pre cisely resembling over-roasted meat. When sufficient assistance had arrived—the reels from Lightbody-street, and police superintendent Murphy being soon on the spot, the fire was extinguished, and the charred fragments, for little more remained, of the dead man and woman were conveyed to the dead-house. The deceased pair are stated to have been in tolerably comfortable circumstances, and to have had money in the Savings' Bank. The house belonged to Mr. Sefton, of the marble works, Virgil-street. The occupant of the house, James Frowe, a very intelli gent man, is a heavy sufferer by the event. Every article of property he possessed was destroyed. Besides the clothes of his wife and family, he had a chest of tools, worth £36, and severallother articles of property which the fire consumed or rendered ♦alueless. Ile and his wife and children got into the street with nothing whatever on but their night clothes, and in that condition the woman and children were sentioff, as soon as a cab could be got, when the first horror was over, to the house of a relation in Bootle. For a considerable time they had to stand in the street until they were taken into a neighbouring cellar, before arrangements were made to get them con_ veyed to Bootle. Frowe was for many years the master carpenter of the Haymarket Theatre, in London, under the management of Mr. Buckstone, and only gave up that engagement in consequence of an accident by which his leg was injured. He arranged the mechanism of the first pantomime performed at the Haymarket. In this capacity he received several written testimonials from eminent actors and actresses, which he kept in a book and valued very highly. Among the autographs it contained were those of Miss Cushman, Mr. Buckstone, 'Miss Reynolds, Mr. Barry Sullivan, Mrs. Fitzwilliam, and many other distinguished artistes. This book, which poor Frowe valued more than many other articles of his property, and which testified to his artisan skill and respectability of character, was of course destroyed. An inquest will be held this day upon the bodies of the sufferers. HORRIBLE TREATIENT OF A GIRL IN PETER STREET. AN AWFUL RUFFIAN.-000 of the most frightful pieces of cruelty we have heard of for some time, took place yes. terday morning, in Peter street. It appears that in the forenoon, the people in the neighbourhood heard cries issuing from a house in tha street, whore resided a carter known to be a violent man. A policeman was called, and, on entering the house, a frightful sight presented itself. Rose Anne Boyd, the stepdaughter of the man, a girl about ten years of age, was found on the bed in her night dress, and the brute standing over and lashing her with a whip most furiously. He was at once taken into custody and the child conveyed to the Northern Hospital, where, on examination, it was found that her body was one miss of shocking bruises —in fact a most horrid spectacle to look on. She is in a dreadful state at present, and if she recovers at all, it will be a long time. The ruffian will be brought up pro ji.owea this day at the police; court. , -- TMPHOED WRITING INK.—What a delieioua treat it is to be hledt With free, flowing writing ink. We have often been disposed to quarrel with our very finger ends when compelled to use some of those abominable quasi-fluids called ink. Mr. E. T. Hall, of South John street, has pro duced an ink, which we have tried, and we do not hesitate to pronounce it one of the best kind we ever used. It flows freely from the pen, and is amongst other things distinguised by its affinity and intensity of colour. Northern Daily Times, 24th October, 1853.—501 d in Bottles, 6d, 13, and 2s each.—Advt. AN INSTRUMENT FOR CORRECTING THE EBROR3 OF THB NEEDLE.—Mr. Ralph Reader, an American gentleman, exhibited, at the Underwriters' Rooms, on Saturday, an instrument bearing the above title. The following is a description of it from Dr. Locke, of Ohio College :—This is an instrument, which is a combination of a universal dial and a chronometer, by means of which he is enabled to take any horizontal bearing in any latitude, at any time of the day, by bringing the shadow of the gnomon to its proper place. The gnomon revolves by means of the chronometer, so as to perform one revolution in twenty-four hours, and when the instrument is levelled and elevated to true latitude, and adjusted at the meridian, the gnomon pain's steadily to the sun, which it follows in its course. And conversely if the instrument be levelled and elevated to the latitude of ;he , placemints t o th and e sun, turned r till ro the shade round hoaridzc falls ) :wntol!ytiin the till the gnomon o i.roner point, it will be adjusted to the meridian, and an angle.or hearing may he laid off by a horizontal graduated motion. It will also solve practically, all the problems which eau be solved by any rumillary sphere, or by spherical trigonom e t ry , so far as its circles and their motions extend. For example —having the declination and the time given, it will show the altitude and latitude, or having the declination and the meridian given, it will give both the time and the latitude at any hour and at any place. The instrument is con. strutted on mathematical principles, and would undoubtedly be useful in high latitudes, where the magnetic needle traverses badly or not at all. Its accuracy depends wholly on the correctness of the chronometer or timepiece by whi c h the index or gnomon is moved, and upon its adjustment to the meridian of the place. It would also be useful perhaps in ascertaining approximately the local declinations of the needle, in a common survey. tt Liu :.:Aaou ;- 4 actio iftiw elttr , f oIJ oryi,zat ea bon ,r,Apt J' t. ~it9t u Y. - ,stlorr I ~.... __ .

We now append additional particulars, from which it will be perceived that Cumberland and Northumberland suffered most severely. Carlisle, we are told by our cotemporary the Pat riot, published in that city, was, on Sunday sen'night, visited by an innundation to extensive that very consider, able alarm and danger Were caused to the inhabitants of Caldowgate, and to all whose dwellings arc aituated upon ; the banks of the then overflowing rivers, Eden, Caldew, and Petteril. Great damage was done to property adj rin ine the rivers, and herds and flocks have had their numbers considerably diminished by the Alio Is. At Armathwaite the dead had reached its climax by four o'clock on Monday morning. Some of the inhabitants, had voluntarily got up to watch the deluge, whilst others were summarily ejected from their beds by the sudden obtrusion of the water into their sleep ing rooms. The sound of the rushing torrent over the Bsy of A rmethwaite was like the continuous roar of thunder. The cellars and lower apartments of Armathwaite Castle were filled to the depth of six or seven feet, causing much injury to the furniture in the lower rooms. At several other places down the E len considerable damage was done to houses and cattle. The villaee of Crosby was nearly swept away, and a Mr. Ball, of Holmeg tte, lost twelve or thirteen head of cattle and some swine. his turnip fields were nearly destroyed, and his winter sown wheat so covered with sand and wreck that it will he impossible to save it, and the quantity of valuable manure that was washed away is incalculable. His hay and corn stacks were nearly submerged, some were lifted off their stands by the flood, and deposited at. a con siderable distance from the places where they originally stood. At the junction of the Petteril with the Eden, the whole of the surrounding fields presented one vast sheet of water as far as the eye could see. Most of the hedges, some of them very high, were completely covered, and the leaf less branches of a tall tree here and there, alone broke the surface of the waters, On Monday evening the waters were still rising, and they were only prevented from overtopping the bank next the racecourse of Carlisle, by the energetic labours of a number of spademen, who cut large lumps of turf from the inside of the bank, and others piled them along the outer edge, supporting them, where the water pressed most, with planks and large ' stones, ultimately they succeeded in repelling the disastr ous incursions of the intruder. From an inspection of the ruins, no less than 500 or 600 persons have suffered in Carlisle. In Bread Street, Byron Street, Shakespete street, and other streets runninginto one another the water stood from four to five feet deep. In Caldcoats it actually reached *in some places, no less than eleven feet. The weavers have sustained a great deal of damage, in the only means they have of obtaining subsistance—their weaving looms and webs. Eighty tons of coal, and twenty blankets been distributed to the most necessitous. Penrith too, was visited by a severe flood. The Millimeter was rarely ever known to be so high. The waters of the Derwent ro'e, overflowing its banks on all sides. The road at the Goat, betwixt Popcastle and Cockermouth, became a running stream, nearly two feet deep, and was rendered totally impassable. On 'Wednesday morning the market people had to be conveyed over in carts, and the factory operatives were unable to get to the mills of the Messrs. Harris and Graves ; several of them in turning out in the dark walked very unexpectedly into the water. The mills were consequently at a stand still for two or three day!. The postman was conveyed along the street at the Goat in a phaeton, from which he delivered the letters at the doors and windows of the inundated inmates. A correspondent, writing from Greencastle, in Northum berland, says that looking along the Newcastle and Carlisle road, you could perceive the dashing cataract, bearing with it wreck of va , iatis kinds, with an irresistible impetu osity, baffling all opposition. The same party also writes —" We cannot describe the altered appearance of everything about Greenhead and the districts that the water has swept over. Nothing could we see but the tops of trees here and there peeping up. On Sunday the morning opened fair but dull ; ere nightfall, a repetition of the farmer days' work was visited upon our devoted heads. In the evening the trains bound fcr Newcastle and Carlisle were stopped. linrortunately, the engine running the Carlisle train, stuck fast opposite the Coulson's Arms Inn, and all the art that Jack Dunn could invent would not stir her from the position she had taken up. Monday morning made its appearance gloomy but not raining,when the Bywell waded up to Green. head to extricate the distressed engine, but she failed to perform what she en willingly attempted ; the powerful engine Hexham was brought to assist her, and we are in_ clined to believe that if the Northumberland had been two stone heavier they would both have been lost." Westmoreland did not escape. At Appleby the flood was most destructive. Oa Sunday evening, as early as 8 o'clock, the fields and gardens adjoining the banks of the Eden were all under water. Viewed from the Garth Heads the scene presented was awfully grand, one perfect sheet of water surrounding the town and threatening destruction on every side. Horses, cows, pigs, &c., were being removed with unusual alacrity to a place of safety, and in Bridge street, Chapel lane, and High Wiend, the inhabitants saw the propriety of olearin, their warehouses, shops, and rooms OH the ground floor. Nor was this precaution unnecessary. By midnieht they had all several feet of water in them, and in some houses and shops, notwithstanding the efforts which had been made, considerable damage was done to goods and furniture. At daybreak on Monday and as the water receded, the scenes which met the eye were truly painful. Passing along Bridge street, the houses and shops presented a deplorable appearance. Looking from the bridge, the destruction and ravages of the water pre sented themselves on every side ; trees uprooted, hedges laid waste, gardens deprived of their fruitful soil, and covered with trees, sand, and dirt of every description ; and on the opposite side, you found a great portion of the road still under water, other parts broken up, and almost impassable, and buts and tops of uprooted trees strewed about. An immense quantity of stones, soil, &e., were thrown together in one great heap; the right, the strong store wall of the day before, was levelled to the ground, and most of the materials of which it had been composed washed away. In chapel lane the houses suffered much, being low, and exposed to the water rushing across the Vicarage Croft, and every one of them would have from three to five feet depth of water in them. In the low end, too, the water attained a great height, and the dwelling part of the school house and other houses in the vicinity were heavily inundated. The damage done cannot be easily estimated, many persons will be heavy sufferers, but the injury done to the roads and streets, which the corporation will have to sustain, will, perhaps, be the most serious. The districts surrounding Appleby have all more or less sustained damage which it will take both time and money to repair. Subscriptions have been entered into both at Carlisle and Appleby for the relief of the numerous sufferers. The town of Llanwrst, situate in the Vale of Conway,was completely inundated during the late gale and heavy rains. The whole of the vale, which lies between Carnarvonshire and Denbighshire was one vast lake, and all communication between the two counties was cut off. Several of the streets in' Llanrwst were' totally impassable, and on Sunday the chapels' were unapproachable, and remained empty during the day. A few people attempted to go to St. Marrs church, but bad to be. conveyed through the water in care. Houses were deluged to the depth of several feet; and great losses in furniture and other property sustained. A hattet'a establishment was flooded, the hats floating in every direction. One, old man awoke from sleep to find himself sailing in his bed, followed by a large water jug. The Contents of two surgeries were destroyed. So great teas the' fury of the tempest that the foundations of Plas Helig, the 'residence of Mr. Thomas Williams, brewer, were in' a great measure undermined, by the force of a small stream which rolled against it, and the embank ment of a mill reservoir adjacent was totally destroyed. When the waters had subsided cartloads of mud had to be removed from the groundfloors of almost every dwelling. The p rt of Plymouth has also,during the last week,been visited by a succession of southerly storms, of a very severe character, which have happily been un a tt en ded w i t h any serious damage in the harbour, either afloat or ashore. There' are, however, in the ,channel, outside the port, sad indications of shipwreck and - probable loss of life. At Bovisand, to the eastward, the foremast of a schooner of above 100 tons, carried away by the deck (say 30 to 40 feet) with cross -trees, &c., was found on Monday, and the next day, on Wembury beach, the foreyard of the same vessel, at Noss the topsailyard, and at Mothcombe her bulwarks. Near the Eddystone several iron-bound square deal cases, supposed to contain British manfactured goods, were observed floating about on Wednesday morning, and on Thursday afternoon a ca-k of foreign brandy, picked up by a fisherman, was delivered to the authorities at the Custornshou=e. Two similar casks are reported on board a Cornish fishing boat riding in Cawsand bay. DISASTERS AT SEA. The disasters to shipping have been most severe. Intel. ligence has been received of several wrecks off the Cumber land coast. Among others may be mentioned the schooner Lady Huntingdon, of Maryport, and the brigs Swift. of Whitehaven, and Derwent, of Workington, all of which are complete wrecks, but the crews are saved. The schooner Teneriffe is on shore at Sellafield, about eight miles to the south of Whitehaven. The crew saved themselves. On Wednesday evening the ship Leander, Captain Kidd, with a cargo of sugar, from Madras for Liverpool, put into Whitehaven in a very leaky state. Twelve men were sent off by Mr. Jackson, Lloyd's agent, to bring the ship into port, - and when they got on board they found the vessel ; !! A 0., ef f'' , • i . 0 • `3!_si jtA , ro;"f ) • ,ito,l .r. Sr . .i ;git.iti - , .;1: of J9aidts yid; •,4 making nearly two feet of water in the hour, and tha crew so exhausted as to be unable to man the pumps. From Southampton we learn that three watermen of Ryde, named Warne, Page, and Austin, want in a boat called the White Mouse from Ryde to Southampton on Thursday night ; on their return at two a.m. next day, a heavy eq iall came on, which capsised arid sunk the boat. The cries of the poor fellows were heard on hoard the quarantine vessel at the Mothe:bank, the hands on board which immediately put off to the relief of the drowning men, and succeeded in saving two. Page was unfortunately lost ;he leaves a widow but no family. Too much credit cannot be given to the men on board the quarantine vessel for their prompt and gallant rescue, as the night was an awfnl one, thunder, lightning, and heavy rain serving to augment the impetu osity of the sea. On Tuesday morning John Sharp, maser, and two men belonging to the schooner Creseent, of Inverkeithing, lying in Leith roads, having retuned laden with bail from Antwerp, left the ship in a small boat for Leith to receive orders Late in the afternoon, they set out to return to the vessel, notwithstanding that a severe.gale was raging at the time, which as the night advanced increasel in violence. The crew had evidently found themselves unable to reach the schooner, and made for Pettycur harbour, on the opposite shore of the Firth of Forth, and ab 'lit eight mile% from Leith, but unhappily they did not reach it alive. Next morning the wreck of the boat and their dead bodies were .found lying scattered along the beach. The body of Captain Sharp was identified in the course of the day by his brother, but the names of the other two unfortunate men, who appear to he between twenty and thirty years of age, are not yet known. THE LOSS OF THE SHIP CLNRENDON. In a former publication we gave the mere fact of the wreck of the Clarendon, Captain Noyes, from Miramichi to this port, with a cargo of timber consigned to Messrs. Miller, Houghton, and Co. We are now in possession of the full particulars of the disaster, which we proceed to give. The-Clareudon is a new ship, this being her first voyage, and is about 750 tons register, so that her carrying capacity may be taken at upwards of 1,000 tons. She left Miramichi about a mor.th ago, with a crew of , 14 or 15, and notwith standin e some severe weather, made the coast of Ireland in about 19 days. Whether from defect in construction, or some mishap on the voyage, the ship made a good deal of water, and being driven out of his course, the captain put into Westport on Sunday week, with between-five and six feet of water in her hold. The crew became mutinous, and refused to go to sea again until the ship bad received an overhaul. Captain Noyes at once communicated with the consignees at Liverpool, who sent over a crew of fifteen runners and the steam tug Fury, belonging to the Liverpool Steam Tug Company. to navi gate the vessel to Liverpool. After having received on board the fifteen fresh hands, the Clarendon left Westport in tow of the Fury, but as a strorg gale was blowing up the channel, several ropes broke, and it took 36 hours for the two vessels to round the point of Ayr. On Saturday morning, about nine o'clock, the last available rope for towing, either on board the ship or the tug, broke, and from that time the Clarendon had - to trust to her sailing powers. It was determined to make for Whitehaven, the captain of the tug undertaking to pilot the way. The two vessels appeared off that port about four o'clock in the afternoon. 'l'o the people on the lock out in the harbour it appeared as if the Clarendon was in tow of the tug, so close were they together, This impression was strengthened by the ' fact that as they approached the harbour mouth the ship took in her sails Immediately after this she was observed to be drifting in the direction of Redness Point, and though the captain of the tug called out to the captain of the ship to let go his anchors, two of which were hanging over the bows, he neglected to do so. Some men who had gone out in a 1 small boat from the harbour also told the captain to let go his anchor, but, though his own hands went aft to request him to give the order he positively refused. A few minutes after striking she broke in the middle, and both ends sunk about two feet. The life-boat, under the command of Mr. Plullipson, was ma❑ned by a crew of ten volunteers. The boat went out in tow of the fug Prince Albert, which cast anchor at a distance from the Clarendon. When the crew commenced slaking off the boat in the direction of the wreck, the tug begin to drag her a❑chors and drive toward; the rocks. In order tll t 'save his vessel, Captain Sanderson steamed out to sea, and returned to Like up a fresh position. Still the anchor would not hold, and the same manceuvre was again gone through. At length the crew of the life boat threw off the tow rope. and committed themselves to the surf, trusting to nothing bat their oars. On approaching the vessel the first time one of the compartments was stove in. At length the band of daring fellows succeeded in obtaining a position close by the ship, and to ,k off 12 of the ere et. The captain and, eight others, however, refused to leave unless the captain of the life beat would bring away their luggage too. This the latter could not do, and he had therefore no alternative but to instruct the men to pull off. They did so, and we are glad to report that the boat be haved admirably, and, having reached the tug, was towed into the harbour, Between ten and eleven o'clock, when the water had ebbed nearly to the vessel, a considerahle number of people collected together on the rocks, wish a view of rendering assistance to enable the captain and the remainder of the crew to get on shore with such of their luggage as could be saved. Several of the spectators repeatedly hailed the vessel, but no one answered. At length two men rushed through the surf, and clambered up a chain cable hanging down from the starboard bow of the vessel, from whence one of them managed to seize hold of the ropes under the bowsprit, up which he made his way on board. Others followed in the same manner, and after one or two of them had been art to communicate with those on board, Captain Noyes made his appearance, and decided to come on shore. A rope was accordingly rove, and the men were all safely got on the rocks with their luggage, the captain's papers, &c. Captain Noyes laid the whole blame for the loss of his vessel on the captain of the Liverpool tug, who, he said, had " humbugged" him. THE CONDEMNED CONVICT MARLEY. PREPARATIONS FOR THE EXECUTION. On Friday morning preparations were being made in the courtyard of the gaol of Newgate for the execution of Robert Marley, the wretched convict, who was sentenced to death at the last sessions of the Central Criminal Court, for the wilful murder of Richard Cope. The only person who has visited the wretched man since his condemnation and removal to the condemned cell has been his sister, when he seemed but little moved at her presence. The convict converses freely with the officials of the prison, ani two warders have been in constant attendance upon him night and day, to prevent him committing any Violence or injury upon himself. He seems to be cheerful, and almost uncon cerned at his awful position. The Rev. Mr. John Davis, the chaplain to the gaol, has been unremitting in his devotional attention to the convict, who has frequently listened with earnestness to the rev, gentleman's discourse. Mr. John Weatherhead, the governor of the prison, received final orders last evening from Sir George Grey, the Secretary of State for the Home Department, for carrying out the last sentence of the law, which will take place at eight o'clock on Monday morning (this day,) A large body of mechanics and labourers were occupied from six o'oclock on Saturday morning until the afternoon • in fixing the massive wooden barriers round the front of Newgate, opposite the position occupied by the gallows, which will be brought out of the courtyard at two e'elook this 'morning. Strong frames and ironwork will be placed along either side of the Old Bailey, from the corner of Newgate street to the point of the Court House to keep back the immense crowd of persons that is exliected to be present on the awful occasion. Orders were also issued by Mr. Daniel Whittle Harvey, the Chief Commis sioner of the City Police, for sections of constables to be in attendance at an early hour on Monday morning to prevent accidents, and protect the public from the depredations of the swell-mob and other thieves, who generally attend in large numbers on such occasions. The condemned sermon was preached yesterday forenoon, at eleven o'clock, in the chapel of the gaol, by the Rev. Mr. John Davis, the chaplain. Numerous applications were made by persons of distinction and other respectable indi viduals for tickets of admission to the gaol to bear the condemned sermon, and for permission to be present at the execution of the wretched man, but only a few of the civic authorities received authority for admiision from the Lord Chamberlain's office, Guildhall. The sheriffs (Messrs. Mechi and Keates) and the Lord Mayor were present, as is customary on such painful occasions, to hear the sermon: A SMNI)LER.—At the Guildhall police court. Loldon , on Saturday; Samuel Leigh Booth, a gentlemanly dressed young man, was chaged with numerous and extensive frauds; and obtaining money under false pretences. It ape peared that' the prisoner had been in the employ of Mr. Corkin, a chemist, at Wathondearne, and had absconded from him on the 6th July. On the following day he went to Mr. Stringer's an oilman of Leadenhall=street, where he ins troduced himself as Mr. Cookie, who was a customer of Mr. Stringer's, and ordered 100 gallon: rape oil, and thirty gals. of olive oil, to be sent down to Wathondearne. The goods were despatched, and the invoice, amounting to £3O Hs 6d, was sent to Mr. Cockle,, who repudiated the purchase. By means of telegraphing down immediately to the station the goods were secured, and it then came out that Mr. Cockin, when he first took the prisoner into his employ, had received a false character with him, and it appeared that he had been concerned in many other transactions of this nature. — Sir R. Carden said the prisoner was one of the most ex. perienced swindlers of his age that he had ever heard of He had been three times convicted, and had no doubt been living in this manner for many years.. He was fully come mated for trial. 721P211 !!! • ' l O l " if iD t% .171,!;:f _;,111 1 ') f;'(; ff.atTn r. rf miip.i:AFauit fivn ertlf 9dl ,Bnoc9lio 'flit . Oi.

THE SHOCKING MURDER IN YORKSHIRE' On Friday last, the adjourned inquest touching t he n deaths of Luke and Elizabeth White, was held at the Cross Daggers Inn, Bolton, before Thomas Badger, Esq. The coroner read a letter from Sir George Grey, statieg that government would give a reward of £ lOO in ad tion to any local subscription for the same purpose. „ George Grey also stated that he would advise Majesty to grant a pardon to any accomplice, not be lll % the person who actually conaniitted either of the murder°. A letter was also read from Mr. Burman, surgeon; and which he wished to be appended to th e outscore formerly given by him. Mr. Burman says : at the position in which the bodies were foon°_ I am sure you will agree with me, that the murders wet7e, committed by a left handed person.
