which the market was already labouring,snd the quantity on
sale increases. Compared with the prices of this day week,
quotations of all kindi are lower, though not Ad. per lb. The

EITSAORDINAST CONDUCT OF A SCSOPAN.—
Under this heading we noticed, a few days since, an appli-
ration made to the Lancashire county magistrates on the
22nd ult., by a medical gentleman (Mr. Carr, of Itusholme,
near Manchester) to re-open an investigation into the '
, causes of death of a child named Grundy, who, he alleged,
hail died from a narcotic poison. It will be recollected that
the magistrate refund the application, and that Mr. Carr
then left the court, threatening an application to the
Secretary of State. It now appears that Mr. Carr
hail already applied to Sir George Grey, and the
very morning after the case was dismissed Sir George Grey's
commands were received both by magistrate and coroner,
for a report of what had been done in tile case. Answers
have of course been transmitted, enclosing the coroner's
copies of the depositions at the inquest, and the Home
Secretary has since replied to Mr. Carr, stating that the
magistrates and coroner were the proper parties to whom
Mr. Carr should apply in such a case, and that he could
not interfere. Yesterday, Mr. Carr again made his ap-
pearance at the New Bailey Court-houw, producing Sir
George Grey's letter, and renewing his application.
The magistrates present were Mr. W. Entwiale,
banker, and Capt. Whittaker Mr. Rutter, the
mgistrates' clerk, stated that Sir George Grey (after
receiving the depositions and a report upon the
case) not having ordered a further investigation they had
uo jurisdiction, unless Mr. Carr was prepared to go further
and prefer a formal charge of murder.—Mr. Cart then
rose under some excitement, and said he had preferred
making the request for a re-investigation of the case, but
as it had been refused he should now apply fur the home.
diate arrest of Mr. G. V. Hicks, the surgeon who prescribed
and supplied medicine fur the deceased child, on suspicion
of causing the death of this child. He trusted the magis-
trates, however. would allow him (Mr Carr) a day or two
longer to complete his evidence in the case, and as he was
summing the character of a public prosecutor he thought in
a case so serious they could not refuse his application.—The
Court replied that it was a very serious application, and un-
less Mr. Carr had more evidence than he had as yet offered
to them they could not comply.—Mr. Carr then left the
court, stating that he should renew the application on Mon-
day neat.
WRECK ON THE LONG SANDS. RARWICII
Dee. 30.—During a heavy gale from the eastward on San-
day night a fine vessel, called the Arrow, Mr. H. Mitchin-
son master, belonging to the port of Liverpool, went on the
Long Sands, and but for the noble and courageous conduct
of a lugger's crew, every soul on board the ill-fated vessel
would in all probability have perished. Every effort was
made to get her off, but the fury of the gale and the heavy
seas, which kept reeking a breach over her, completely act
at defiance the exertions of thous on hued. At daylight
they were observed by the smack Aurora's Increase, Mr.
J. Lewis master, of this port, which was out cruising, and
in the most prompt manner she bore down to the rescue of
the unfortunate creatures clinging to the wreck, and took
them off in an exhausted state. The smack then made for
this port, and landed the poor fellows, who have publicly
tendered their thanks to the lugger's crew for preserving
them from a probable dreadful fate.
FATAL ACCIDENT IN THE LONDON DOCKS DURING
roe Foo.—Last evening Mr. W. Baker held an inquest at
the Golden Lion, Cannon-street-road, on the body of Charles
Austin, aged 20. The deceased was a watchman employed
in the London Docks, and on Tuesday night, November 18,
he was directed to go on duty to protect some goods on
board the Emeliana, of Spain. The night was very dark,
owing to the dense fog; and while he aas in the act of
stepping front the gunwale of a barge he fell overboard. An
alarm was raised by a police constable, but it is supposed
that the deceased must have gone down head foremoet, and
thereby got embedded in the deep mud, as the drags and
other tackle could not reach him. On Monday one of the
dock firemen was standing on the North Quay, Wapping,
when the body suddenly came to the surface of the water,
having been seven weeks missing, and being in we advanced
state of decomposition. After some observatior.s from the
coroner, the jury returned a verdict of "Accidental Death."
AN EPISODE IN TIIE LAST FRENCH REVOLUTION.
—A letter from Lorgues, published in the Gazette d•
Lyon, gives some details relative to the circumstances
which took place after the combat at Aupa. It lays,—
" The soldiers had been told the house in which the pri-
soners were kept for three days was full of insurgents.
The troops, being thus misled, fired on the house, while on
the other side the reds were breaking in the doors to mur-
der these unfortunate men. M. Andreol de Laval, geeing
that his friends were on the point of perishing, jumped out
of a window on the second story to tell the troops not to
fire, and cried out, ' Save the prisoners!' The soldiers,
thinking that he was an insurgent who said, I surrender
myself a prisoner,' replied, We give no quarter!' and 10 of
them fired at him at two yards' distance. The prisoners then
cried out, ' Ile is not en insurgent!' and all the soldiers
raised their hands to Heaven. M. de Laval, believing that
he was about to die, desired to clamp the captain's hand to
intimate that he bore no enmity to him. He turned towards
him, crying, ' I die satisfied, since I have saved my compa-
nions. Vine le AOth.' The captain rushed forward, exclaim-
ing, ' Oh, what a cause of regret !' Ile declares that he
never beheld so great an instance of courage, and never
would forget the scene before hint. M. de Laval received a
wound in the foot, another in the shoulder, one near the
I temple, and grains of shot from the insurgents in several
I parts of the body ; ho has also a bayonet stab in the arm ;
I his paletot has been pierced with nine balls; his cravat, cap,
waistcoat, and boots are all torn to pieces with halls, and
I yet he has not teethed a single severe wound; in fact, the
I whale ease is quite a miracle. M. de Laval has determined
that all his clothee shall be hung up at St. Ferreol, the place
of the celebrated pilgrimage, sear harass."
