FRANCE. (FROM OUR OWN CORII,M)OiiiiNig..ASIT PART S, • Tntrasniky EVENING. On i nformation obtained from a high source, I 4111 able to communicate a fact which is not coder known, namely that the French ambas• bo ttom , pain S, the Marquis Turgot, was at the :tem of th e :l a t e O'D onnell conspiracy, which led the sanguinar— y outbreak at Madrid. The Am .: ssa cior, I hear, n o t only urged O'Donnell and ,1 'lB confederate s to. get rid of Espartero, 1)14 down the 'cortes, suppress liberty, andY gag the priss, - but actually entered into !formal engagement to assist him with an armed force, from France, if necessary. It was, I am assured; the dread of a French invasion -which iciolsed t he extraordinary eunineness of Espatero ti le i nsnrrection.

Turgot, however, is believed to have and O'Donnell positive assurances of support ; 1 ; 11 ' it is said that in the interviews he has recently iltd with the Emperor at Biarritz, he has urged 8 , Majesty not to make him violate them. - that is stated to-day in the higher political circles at /A.

Thomas Mansell, and the victim was, a lance-corporal In' the same regiment, named Alexander M'Burney. There is no question whatever as to the guilt of the accused, as the deed was committed in the presence of several comrades. The weapon employed was one of the Enfield rifles, which is in; use among the 49th,• and it appears that the - accused want out of the tent he occupied, with his rifle in his hand, and deliberately Walked' up to the deCeased, -'who was engaged . in cleaning' - his regimental ,accoutrements, and shot him dead. The deceased rose and .stagg'ered 'a few yards, crying " shot—l'm shot I Man. sell has Shot me," and then fell down and expired: By the prompitude of Sergeant-Major Holden, of the 49th, who was on the spot within a minute of the dreadful occurrence, the surgeon of the 4th; Mr. Hannay, was fetched from -his tent immediately, but before he bad arrived the- vital spark had fled, and his services, therefore, were of no aiail; The prisoner scarcely attempted to escape ; but, 'after he had committed the horrid deed, threw down the weapon be j - had used, with the :simple milt m ition " There I" and walked away, He was, of course, instantly laid hold of by a dozen men, and, by direction of the colonel of the regiment, he was handed' over to the civil authorities the same Morning. In the P resence of the magistrates the prisoner exhibited a firm and cool demeanour. He is rather above the middle height- r and his features express calmness, and in a certain degree intelligence. His appearance is rather pre-possessing than otherwise, After evidence to the effect we have stated, the court was cleared, and, on the re-admission of the public, the mayor informed the prisoner that he would -stand remanded. The prisoner did not seem moved through out the proceedings, and during the time that the magis trates were consulting took a pinch of snuff with much 1.000 I sangfroid. NEWSPAPER READERS 13ARKER V. VAN LUNDEN.—The plaintiff in this action, which was tried in the city sheriff's court, on Thursday, is a news agant to Throgmorton-street, and claimed £3 3s for newspapers sold and lent to read. The plaintiff's clerk proved an admission by the defendant to the extent of £2 14s 6d, but there was no evidence:that any ad,ii tional papers had been 3Old or left for reading. His Honour said that he could only give jadgment for the amount admitted', but the plaintiff could take out another summons for the difference, and bring_ the boy who delivered the papets to Make out the case. This decisiou is important, as it was considered that such a claim could not he.- divided There were .other cases of a similar nature, and his -Honour expressed his opinion that a plaintiff could elect to abandon any, portion of his 's, --why is not I claim.

BRADFORD MUSICAL FESTIVIL.—The miscellaneous concert of Triesday evening was not nearly so well attendEd as the sacred .performance of that morning, . mid, there was a similar shortcoming on-Wednesday .morning, not witlastanding the curiosity excited by the anrouncement of Costa's Eli, performed for the first time in Yorkshire: This unfavourable effect was partly caused by the bad weather, but partly also by the scale.of -prices of admission, which is eomplained of as being - injudiciously•high, and :beyond the means of tradespeople and inhabitants of UM town, who otherwise would have contributed to the support of the festival; • ACCIDENTS ON SHOOTING EXCIIRSIO , S.-0a Tuesday last, a party of gentlemen from Liverpool, accompanied by sefifal of their Howgill friends, were on a shooting excur sion upon the Howgill Fells, within the manor of Sedbergh, when a gentleman's gun accidentally went off, lodging the contents thereof in the lower part of the body of Mr. ltobt. Herd, of Howgill, gamekeeper. Mr. Herd survived the fatal shot about six•hours. He was abolit 32 years of or, and has lefra wife, besides mother, brothers, and sisters, to lament his untime ly fate. An inquest was held on Thurs day, at the Black Bull Inn, Sedbergh, before Thomas Brown, Esq., and a respectable jury. It appeared from two witnesses examined, that deceased was shooting grouse ou Howgill Fell, on the 12th instant, in company with a young gentleman, and after both of the sportsmen had discharged one barrel each at some birds, the remain ing loaded barrel of the gentleman's gun exploded, and lodged the contents in the lower part of Mr. Hind's body, mortally wounding him. Verdict accidentally shot. — Kendal Mercury: DISCOVERY OF HUMAN REMAINS.—On Friday afternoon Mr. Wakley held an inquest on the remains of a child supposed to have been buried for a period of nearly forty Joseph Caves, said on Tuesday week he was digging fella post used in his business, for the purpose of perfecting the tyres of wheels, and at the depth of about Ott 6in from the surface in the rear of his house he came upon a coffin, and on taking it up he found it had three li Is two of wood and the other lead. On the lid of the leaden coffin was engraved the name of Jane Rayner. On opening the leaden coffin he discovered the remains of a child, merely bones, in a shroud of flannel. The remains were removed to the workhouse. The a. , sistant-surgeon of the workhonse examined the remains, and considered them to be those of a child, which was about three years old, and had been buried between thirty and forty years. Ann Hyde, an aged female, gave evidence that about thirty-three or thirty-four years ago she lived two or three doors from the house in question, and there was a family named Rayner resided there. Their elder daughter was musical, and the father was an eccentric. She remembered the circumstance of a child being mimed, and that the family lef the place all of a sudden and were never heard of again. This was all the information that could be obtained, and the jury returned a verdict that the remains supposed to be those of Jane Rayner were found buried in the ground at the rear of 32, St. Pancras-place, but under what circumstances they came there, there was no evidence to show. A SAILOR'S WEDDING.—An action was lately brought in the Whitechapel county court, for the recovery of £7 108 9d, said to be due to Walter Wallis by Jack Oliver, a sailor. The plaintiff kept a public house in Wapping, and defendant, who is a thorough specimen of an English sailor, contrived to get married while he was lodging at the plaintiff's house, and the sum now claimed was for the good things supplied for a jollification on that happy occasion. Jack Oliver had run out all his money before he shipped, and had promised to settle wish his landlord on his return to England. Mr. Oliver was questioned as to his fitness to take the obligations of an oath. " Let Jack Oliver speak with his honour, the captain. Hands off you runaway Shark. Captain, havn't got my land legs yet, and that's how your bo'swain here thinks 'Jack Oliver got more liquor aboard than paid duty. . (Laughter.) Now, as to this here matter, whv, may I sail in a teetotal ship to the tropics if I know anything at all about it. The landlord says as how I was married—if so, I have no recollection. Mayhap Master Wallis will be so good as to tell me who I was spliced to, and where Mrs. Oliver is to be found." (Loud laughter.) Here a lady in. the court, attired in the East End style, screamed out, " Here I is, Jack, safe and sound as a rook." (Roars of laughter.) Mr. Oliver—" Pull up that veil, and let's have a lock at your figurehead. (Laughter.) C - in't say as how I ever seo.d you afore, ba 1 s'pose you've come here to swear agin this grog reckoning." (rJaugh cr.) Mrs. Oliver—" It's a long bill, yer honour, bat my husband treated everybody for three days, and I don't think Mr. Wallis would rob him." Mr. Oliver— " Will you go so far as to swear I was actually married to you !" (Laughter.) Mrs. Oliver—" On my oath I was, Jack, and here's the lines to prove it." (Laughter.) Mr. Oliver—" Then all I can say is this here, if I'd known on such a circumstance I'd steered clear of the port of London. (Laughter.) Captain, I must have been led into this affair when I was too drunk to know what I was about ; but, if so be as you says I am married, and did have a wedin', Jack Oliver knows how to obey orders." (Laughter.) The Judge—" I have nothing to do with your being married, but, if it is any satisfaction to you, my opinion is that you did marry this lady." Mr. Oliver—." No satisfaction, your honour." The Judge—" You must pay the money." Jack left the court, but would not have anything to do with his found vaire. :vi I S S M A R I A N, AMERICAN ENCHANTRESS, AT THE QUEEN'S HALL, BOLD STREET, ON MONDAY NEXT, OEPTEMBER IST. -LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY. WHERE A POLICEMAN WAS FOUND, AND -HOW HE-ACTED. - It has frequently been remarked, 'that a policeman is I never to be found when his services are required—a fact which is undeniable. And it has been- a mystery to the authorities, and likewise to the public, particularly when the latter have been aggrieved, to know where policemen, when on duty, do actually secrete themselves. By a case that yesterday came-before Mr. Mansfield in the police-court, this problem was to some extent - solved, provided there are many members of the force like No. 707. From peregrina tions throiigh the town, combined with the frequent corn- Plaints of a policeman wanted," it is much to be feared that No. 707 has too many prototypes, as it Would appear that btat too many of them studiously avoid being present in any street fracas, when their presence is absolutely neces sary, not alone for the protection of propertY, but also for the protection of persons who are peaceably inclined, -and who but too o often get the end of the stick, when doing what they Conceive right for the ppbtc, good. But to the case.' Yesterdar, a female who evidentiy horn her dress Mid de- Lond constable en‘ ro aot . 7 meunpur, belonged to the respectable c lass, w a s c har g ed b y police► with being drunk and disorderly on the three o'clock in the morning—so dis -orderly; that - be - ( 707 )' had to take her into custody and have her locked up. The name of the female, - we understand, 7 waa Ann Johnson, and that she lived in the locality of Mount Vernon. No. 707, upon the woman being placed in the dock, took ,the usual oath, and then said :-- At three o i clook this morning, I found the prisoner drunk and disorderly on the London-road. I requested her to go quietly home, but she would not, and I was obliged to lock her up. The Female : Sir, I was not drunk, and the policeman only lodked me up because I found him in a public house. She then - went on to say that, at about twelve o'clock on the previous night, she left her house with the woman who had been washing for her all day, for the purpose of getting some liquor. After going to various 'Ades, she went to a respectable house kept by Mrs. Lyons in the London-road. This house is opened for the sale of liquor to an early hour in the morning, and is found a great accommodation to strangers, although no person is, on any account, permitted to have drink within the doors after the regular hours. The prisoner said she gave her order at the door and received the whiskey, for which she paid 74d. Mrs. Lyons demanded 11c1 more, and an altercation took place between Mrs. -Johnson and Mil% Lyons ati to dip payment of the 10, in the course of which policeman No. 707 came out of the house, and told her to go quietly home. This she refused to do until she had had the money matters put right, upon which the policeman began to push her about, tearing her mantle, and forced the ring off her finger, and then took her to the station, but at the door of which he would have then ht her go home, but she refused to do so, saying, that if there wad anrcharge against her she would bear it, and, consequently, she Was then forced into the police station, and booked by 707 for being drunk and dis orderly. Mrs. Ann Rigby, the washerwoman, was then called, and she fully corroborated the statement of the prisoner, adding, in answer to Mr. Mansfield, that they had been working until ten o'clock, and from that hour until twelve were engaged in folino , the linen, when they went out to look for liquor. She also spoke to the dispute about the 1-kt with Mrs. Lyons, when the policeman came out and told her to go home, which she refused to do " until she was righted," when she was taken into custody. Mr. Mansfield (to the policeman) : What were you doing in the public house ? Policeman, No. 707: Sir (a little hesita tion); a short time before a geritletnan came up to me with a portmoniae in his hand, and said he was a traveller; and said there had been a dispute in a house. 'I did not take any notice of it, but, after I had been in Anson-place and Anson-street, I was going down, when the same gentleman ,said he had had a dispute in the house. I walked to him and stepped into the house, when the gentle man called for , a glass of liquor, which was placed o-t the counter, but I 'refused to take it. Sir (addressing. Mr. Mansfield), I never drink any sort of spirits. The woman came up, and, behaved dis orderly, and I took' her into custody. I picked up some pieces of her mantle, and gave them to her, and per suaded her to go home. Mr. Manefiel order that np polio bi himself. • Is there an ins rhere is an an is allowed to go into a public house Inspector Chew was then sent for, and, upon his :appearing in court, the worthy magistrate stated to him the facts of the case, asking if there was -riot a rule - in the - police regulations forbidding policemen, when on duty, entering public houses by themeelt'es ? Inspector Chew : Most certainly there is Mr ;or in• t isfield : This woman had no right to be taken into Custody. She goes out with her washerwoman, and goes to this house.. A dispute arises between the parties, when the policeman comes oat of the house and takes a part in it, and took the woman up, and locked her up for the night. This is one of the most tyranical and abominable procedures that I have ever heard of. The woman must be flisch rzed, and you (the policeman) I shall suspend. The woman was instantly set at liberiy, and No. 707 was suspended. His fate will be decided by the watch committee, COUNTY COURT.-YESTERDAY (EFFORE NOSFPH POLLOCK, ESQ., JUDGE MCMURDO AND ()TIMM v„ CTJEMING. —The plaintiffs in this case ' m Messes. AteAltndo and Co., ti Aber merchants, of Liverpool, claimed £3 Bd. for damage, done to a cargo of staves, bronlht to this port by the Rappahannock, of which the defendant, William Cushing, is captain. Mr. Ilime appeared for the plaintiff:, and Mr. Almond for the defence. It appeared that the staves had been slipped on board the vessel, to be dc livered in good order to the plaiiititf , , from New York. No intimation of the arrival cf the vessel was made to plaintiffs, but they learned the fact casually from the papers. The plain- tiffs' manager proceeded to the Stanley Dock, and found that following a portion of the staves were found to be damaged by laril,which had formed a part of the ship's cargo, and had leaked out and saturated the staves in some places. £1 par thousand were claimed, as the damage done. The capt in of the vessel being at sea, Mr. Almond was unable to produce any material evidence for the defence. A verdict was accordingly given for the plaintiffs. ',YTS-IGOE v. SHARP The plaintiff in this action was a master cooper. The case came on for a new trial, having been previously lh.a d before Mr. Raffles in the absence of the judge. The plaintiff, in 1853, had done some work for defen dant in connection with several vossels, and had an account against him in en a instance of £ . 29 14s. 83. Ire sent an occasional clerk, named Roger Leech, for the money, who brought back £l9 14s. Bd., f‘r which he had given a receipt i❑ full. The plaintiff was informed that the additional £lO was kept back until one of the vessels for which the work had been done should return, and, therefore, he did not at that time demand the money, and showed that the cicik had no authority to make the reduction. On his applying for it subsequently, defendant producA tho receipt in toll. The plaintiff positively deposed that the clerk had no authority to give such a receipt. The defendant alleged that the £lO was taken off the amount, in reference to a separate transaction which took place between plaintiff and him, regarding the engagement of a seaman. his Honour, however, decided that plaintiff was entitled to recover the amounts. Mr_ liime represented the plaintiff, and Mr. Almond the defendant in the case. NEW DUTY ON RACEHORSES.—The new duty on race horses, which is £3 17s a year, is to take (ffeet on the sth of April, and to be paid to the clerk of the course before the " start." TUB RUSSIAN SOLDIERS AT INK ERMA N.—Captain nodasevich, late in the Russian service, in a work by him recently published, "A Voice from within the Walls of Sebastopol," says :—" Close to me (at the attack on Inker man heights) stood a young ensign of the name of Protopoff, and, seeing that be looked dull, I asked what was the matter. Ah!' said he, tell my uncle to write home, and say that I was killed at the hatde of Inkerman. His uncle was in our regiment. I told him that he ought not to joke like that, for don't you see that the day is ours ?' I had hardly time to pronounce these words before he was struck in the left ride by a rifle ball, and died almost immediately. Shortly atter this I received a blow on the • left shoulder from a small stone, and I heard from all sides cries that the Eka therinenburgers are killiiig us!' I esked what was the matter, and at the same instant a I ordered the men who were near me to see where he was shot. They said in the back of the - head, so there could be no longer any doubt. Taking with .me six men of my company, I went down to the regiment of Ekatherinenburg, which I found about half-way down the hill in a disorganised mass, and firing. On my asking them what they were 'firing at, they said they were firing over oar heads. ' How can you be firing over our heads when you are killing our army ?' I tried . to reason with them, and persuade them if they would not advance at least to cease firing, when a man stepped out and fired close to me. I could not contain my self no longer, but I began to belabour him with the fiat of my sword, when I saw a major coming up to me and I rushed to meet him. ' What on earth are you about ? Why ;dou't you look to your men ? Why don't you advence ? If you won't advance, at leak order your men to cease firing, for they are killing us ?' The major said, in a plaintive voice, What can Ido when they have killed more than half .of us"?' "Thinking be meant the enemy, I said, ' And is that a reason why you should kill your own people ?" No,' said he, it is they,' Pointing to the men, who have shot us ; lam the only field officer left, and what can I do with such ruf fians ? It is a shame, Mr. Major,' said I, 'to fear your own men !' We were joined by an officer from the regiment of Borodino, who added his remonstrances to mine, but without effect. The major left us, and went farther down the hill out of the way. I returned again to the battery, but here reigned such confusion that it was impossible to distinguish the men of my own regiment. Suddenly a cry was raised that we were out-flanked; I shouted for the men of my company, but it was of no use, and the sergeant-major said they were mixed up with the others, and that it would be impossible to separate hem." inIMMIINIIIINIMM" M.MiI PUBLICANS' ANNUAL LICENSING DAY The magistrates sat yesterday in the Nisi Prius Court t dispose of the remaining list of. app The following justices took their seats at eleven o'clocl Worshipful the Mayor in the chair, E.

Mr. Dodd also added the following as an additional reason why the license should be granted, namely, that ale was bad at this season of the year for persons troubled with bowel -.complaints, and that lone,i's customers were afraid of being attacked with itnglish cholerd, ad that they ought to have wino of bratiLiv on the premises.

The appl cation of Thomas Peake, of Gerard street, was supported by Mr. Bretherton, who said the house was licensed for sixty years before 1853, when the license was suspended, in consequence of the conduct of a Mrs. Jones, who kept it, andwbo was fined three times within a certain period. Ho trusted that the license would be restored to a respectable man. He said about £4OO had been recently laid out on the premises to put them in proper order. Mr. Bremner appeared for Thomas Pointon, who sought a license for a becrhouse in Islington, corner of Stafford street. Ito said a house of the sort Was much required, and Mr. Pointoh intended to keep an hotel for the middle respectable class of people, Who c'amo from the country.

Mr. McDonald, barrister, appeared to support the applica tion of Margaret Rogan, of Brunswick-road Ho sa'd the applicant was lately the conductor of the Monk's Ferry 'lota, and was therefore competent to manage the business. There was ❑ot a public house within 200 yards of applicant's house. Mr. Dodd supported the application of William Walter Beam, Duckworth street, on the ground that there were several new streets in the locality, and the inhahitant3 wanted accom modation. Mr. Bremner applied on behalf of William Smith, Bruns wick road, and James Caton, Chatsworth street, on the ground that public•houses were required in these streets, in conse quence of increasing population Mr. Snowball supported the application of John Deacon, ptleman came Chatsworth street, and concluded by proau whom he said was a man of weight (hero the forward and-fully bore out the statement of his advocate, amid loud laughter), and he trusted he would have some influence with their worships. Mr. Bretherton supported the application of George Henry Shepherd, Clarence street, on the ground that the house was Well adapted for a public-house, and had large stables, &c., attached. IMPORTANT OBSERVATIONS.—On the application of Wm. Selden Rawson, of Cottenham street, Mr. R. Gladstone asked the applicant how many times ho had asked for' a license ? and he replied, he had made application for the last nine years. Mr. Gladstone said he had asked the question for a certain reason ; he was in the habit of passing the house twice a day for years, and he could say it was ',most respectably conducted. (A demonstration of applause followed the observations.) There was an opinion gone abroad, as he heard, that the magistrates had deter mined not to grant license to any, but a large and costly fitted up house, with extensive premises attached, and the advocates who appeared there in support of applications seemed to be of the same opinion, for they dwelt on the large houses and costly fittings, with the extent of the premises possessed by their clients, as if such were inducements to the magistrates to grant licenses. lie stood up publicly there in open court, to declare that he, for one of the magistrates, did not, nor never would, recognize such a principle. (Applause again in court) He held the opinion that small well conducted public houses offered more, and better, accommodation to the public, particularly to the poorer portion of society, than large houses did. Large houses were fitted up at great expense, and, of course, the proprietor must have extra charges to cover such expensive outlays. Dancing, singing, and other means were resorted to in order to cover the expenses in large houses, and extra charges made on the public. He trusted that the magis trates (indeed they did not) never prefmed granting licences •to large houses rather than to small ones, for where there were small well-conducted public houses, they were of more advantage to the poor than great houses. He, as one of the magistrates, would adopt the ceurso which he now spoko of, and he would never consent to grant a license to a large house in preference to a small, and for the reasons he had stated. (Loud cheers followed when Mr. Gladstone sat down.) Wm. 'Jones. Harboard street, was supported in his application by Mr. Snowball, and Mr. Blackhurst appeared for John Morton, of Paddington, and, in support of his claim, handed in what ~ on th Olymp , not t Ylayhpw, 13s 6d, an he called a very nice picture of the house, amid loud laughter The next, and last application of any importance eras math by Mr. Bretherton on behalf of John Atkins, West Derby road, the proprietor of the Zmilogical Gardens. The speech in support of the claim was one of great force and eloquence, and contained a mass of facts, of which the following were part. The present was the ninth application mado by Mr. Atkins, and Mr. Bretherton trusted the bench would, in accordance with the expression of ono of its members that day, grant the application. The applicant had kept this place of public amuse ment for twenty-four years, and, out of the millions who visited the gardens during that time, there never was one complaint against Mr. Atkins. There were more than 100,000 persons had visited the gardens this year, and there was no refresh ments for these, many of whom had come by special trains, provided for them by Mr. Atkins, from a long distance to enjoy themselves and their families in rational amusement. He said in the gardens at Bristol, Hull, Leeds, and Man chester, there were licensed refreshment rooms, and at all the gardens in London also. Yet, out of London, the Liverpool gardens had more visitors than any other, and still it was the only place of the sort in the kingdom that had not a place of refreshment for visitors. He contended that there never wr places of amusement were a che c k on th e v ice any drunkenness to be found at the g a rdens allud, of fhese enjoyingplace ra tional amusement at th ese places. Wherever the gardens at Berlin and Par' ' b u e e cau ie s s e te p e u e b e l d ic fa f tn ou il la i d es in Paris, and said the r w e a a s s , o n t why he d r e u p n p k e e r n t n e e n s i s t e w s a s a n ff o o t , d t o e d b e such places were to be found s drunkenness de creased. People went out to enjoy themselves, ef families were lead f rom the seats and scenes drunkenness, and cho ir families to that of rational enjoyment. The father, instead of going to the public house, went out with his family, whose presence checked drunkenness. People did not go to get drunk at gardens, they went to enjoy themselves, yet it was necessary that they should have refreshments, and it was a shame to say, that in Liverpool alone, the people were deprived of such privilege. Ho contended that in Scotland, where there were no gardens, nor out-door amusements, drunkenness exceeded, London sa Olive mantaln bracing G Mogador Licensed restored, with cases of no intcics closed.

ASSAULT' BY A WOMAN.—Jane Byles, a most disre , putable looking female, was charged with assaulting at young girl, named Shelock. It appeared that the conid plainaut had been instrumental in getting a friend of the prisoner's punished, which caused some offence, and the prisoner, upon meeting her in the street, upbraided her with the course she had pursued, and then assaulted her, inflicting a severe wound on her hand. The case having been clearly proved; Mr. Mansfield ordered her to be imprisoned for six months. BRUTAL ASSAULT. —A Yankee sailor was charged with violently assaulting a labouring man. The complainant stated that he was drinking in a public house, with some friends, when the prisoner knocked him down, and then kicked bins on use head several times, until c became insensible. The case was clearly proved, and the prisoner was fined 40s , and, in defiult of payment, ;vas committed for one mouth. A DRUNKEN HUSBAND.—James Cowner, a eafFer and gilder, was charged with assaulting his wife. The prisoner, who appeared labouring under strong excite tnent from drink, denied the charge. His wife, how6yer, said—Sir, he has repeatedly threatened my life, and I am afraid to live with him. The prisoner : " Oh,' Margaret ; what I me ?" The complainant : Yes ; and only yesterday you knocked my mother's shoulder out, and. it cost him. a m m a e in l t fi e s n . a to nc h e, av b e u i t t I se d t are S n ir o , t l li a r m e allow with him, as he is a perfect lunatic from drink ; be is never sober. The prisoner was remanded. THE MAN THAT COULD NOT GO B ACK. —A great raw. bone ...Amnia was then placed in the deck, on a charge of agrancy and annoying the public. The policeman, who had charge of the case, said he found a ticket for Dundalk on the prisbner, but it appeared, he said, that he could not go back. Mr. Mansfield : Why don't you go home ? The prisoner: I can't find my way back. Mr. Mansfield : How have you got a living since you have been here—six weeks? Prisoner : I have got some bread from the people here. The prisoner was com mitted for seven days as a vagabond. MORE STABEING.—Thomas Tripp, an elderly man, was charged with stabbing a female, named Eliza Jones. The complainant stated that she lived in Gore-street, and on the previous day the prisoner came into her house and began to quarrel with his wife, with whom he did not live, when he took up a knife, and, instead of stabbing his wife, struck her a blow on the head. The surgeon who ha I dressed the wound was examined, and the prisoner was committed to take his trial. LIVERPOOL PRODUCE -MARKET. T REVIEW.

RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—WiIIiam Ward (a porter at the Midland Railway Company's Sheffield station,) and another porter named Blood, were engaged in placing a tarpauling over a waggon, which was standing upon a siding at the station, laden with straw, when an empty train was shunted upon the siding ; the engine driver turned on his whistle, and a porter who was stan ling near called to the two men to take care. Blood left the truck, and Ward jumped into an empty truck standing close by on the same rails, and sat down upon one of the sides. The empty train ran rather violently against the trucks, and Ward was jerked over the side of the truck by the violence of the collision, and fell with his head upon one of the rails. Several of the wheels passed over his head, which was crushed to pieces. Instant death was of course the.result. The man has left a family of five children. A MAN KILLED IN A PRINTING MACHINE.-011 Friday, between one and two o'clock, a distressing accident occurred to a man named Samuel Henson, living at No. 9 Brownlow Street, Drury Lane, and employed as a machinist at Mr. J. E. Taylor's printing office, in Little Queen Street, Holborn. The unfortunate man was at work at the machine, when, from some cause as yet un explained, he fell in. The machine was stopped as promptly as possible, but the man was already dead. ide was frightfully mutilated, the head being nearly severed from the body. The corpse was conveyed to St. Giles's workhouse, where it now lies, and where the inquest will be .held. It is said that he has left a wife and eight chil dren. Only the previous day the hands employed at Mr. Taylor's establishment, had a holiday and a treat at the Surrey Gardens. CRUELTY TO PAUPERS.—An enquiry took place before the coroner for Leicester, on Monday last, respecting the death of a male patient in the Leicester and Rutland Lunatic Asylum, named George Tyers Sparrow. On the previous Thursday, the deceased, who was a very violent patient, conducted himself in a very noisy manner, for which Blades threatened to " bathe" him. lie was accordingly taken by Blades and another attendant named Gresley to the bath, and after much resistance undressed and placed in it. No thermometer appears to have been used, but Blades ascertained, by putting his hand into the water, that it was too hot, and the deceased was taken out screaming " Murder." Ile was immediately put to bed, and it was found that he was severely ecalded. The jury deliberated about two hours and a halt, and eventually returned a verdict of " Accidental death," therewith an expression of their desire that es might be severely reprimanded. AN EXECUTION.—A shocking scene occurred at the execution of two robbers, named Bole and o.sen, coupling On d .t A; en in the Isle of Fuen, in Denmark, on the 18th instant. Olsen made such a desperate resistance that the excentioner and ,en who helped him could not bring the crimina the block without - cilliag the soldiers t assist t!,en2. As soon as Olsen's bead was severed form his b,dv, two young girls rushed thrlugh the double line of armed police wl: guarded the scaffold, and filled the cups, which they carried, with the blood that spouted from the neck of the mutilated corpse, and instantly swallowed the horrible draught. There is an old superstition amongst the rural population cf Denmark that the blood of a beheaded felon, if drunk while it is warm, is an infallible preservative against epilepsy or apoplexy. The girls were taken before a police commissioner, and declared that they had only done what they had a right to do ; they showed a piper, signed G. Olsen, in which he had authorised them, whenever he should be executed, to drink his blood.
