THE FRENCH NEWS IN THE PROVINCES.
Devizes.—ln common with so many other papers,
we ((Viltshire Independent) have to express our acknow-
ledgments to the sparised proprietors of the Daily Netrs for
the first notice of the dreadful insurrection in Paris. Early
on Monday morning, hours before any other account reached
Devizes, we were in .passeesion of full particular; and al-
though the news reached us on a city when it was of no ser-
vice, so far as our journal isconcerned, we feelequally obliged
as if it had been rec sised on the morning of publication.
From the numb r of acknowledgments of the enterprise as
we ll as of the courtesy of the Daily News, our contemporary
merits the distinguished title of the Early News, for no
other paper, from the very first day of the outbreak in Paris,
has given such early and lull accounts of the proceedings in
that metropolis.
YORKSIIIRE.—We (lrakefeld Journal) beg to acknow-
ledge the courtesy of the proprietors of the Daily News, by
which we received a detailed account of the revolution in
Paris at least half a day in advance of the other papers.—The
Doncaster Chronicle says : " Through the kindness of the
publishers of the Daily :sews the important intelligence from
France reach, d us early on Monday morning, anticipating
the London morning papers by et least seven hours. The
intelligence was posted up at the front of this office, and was
read throughout the day with the greatest avidity."—We
(Bradford Observer) beg to acknowl due the courtesy of
the proprietors of the Daily News, by which we received in-
telbgenee of the revolution in Para at least halt a day in
advance of the other papers. We would take this opportu-
nity of bearing testimony, not only to the early intelligence
of this spirited paper, but also to the clearness, breadth,
and gent nil ability of its leading articles, and the
highly artistic arrangement of the entire journal.
Cu MST/I/M.—We (Stockport Advertiser) beg to record our
grateful thanks to the conductors of the Daily A ewe, for
ttv-ir kind attention in forwarding to us by express, which
reached us early on Monday morning, the full particulars
of the insurrection in Paris to Saturday evening ; thus an-
ticipating by six hours the arrival of the same intelligence
by the morning journals.
WATEltYottu.—To the editor of the Daily News we
(IVaterford Mail) are indebted for an expressed report of
the latest important intelligence from Paris, which will be
found in full in.another column.
DEVONSHIRE.—We ( P/ymouth Jourtia/) were indebted,
in common with most of our crnternporarii 5, to the activisy
of the Daily News for a full and early account of the French
insurrection.
BnisvoL.—The Bristol Gazette of June 29, says :—For
the ample record contained in our columns this coy of the
awful and eventful scenes in Paris, we are indebted to the
activity and enterprise of part of the London daily press,
never more strikingly displayed. We have particularly to
express our obligations to the Daily News, which has been
remarkable for the priority and accuracy of its intelligence.
GLABOOW.—We (Glasgow Constitutional) have to ex-
press our thankful acknowledgments to the Daily News
for the very important intelligence transmitted to us from
Paris. Although we could not make use of it, our obliga-
tion is the same. The Edinburgh Advertiser makes a similar

LANCASHIRE.
THE RIOTERS AT MANCHESTER, Or at least that
portion of them charged with rioting within the borough,
were tried on Friday evening at the sessions. The names of
the prisoners for trial at the sessions are as follows : J. Hayes,
aged 20; J. Hall, 18; and W. Cronshaw, 2.5. [The prose-
cution against C Preston and R. Noblett, taken at the same
time, was abandoned for want of evidence.] The indict-
ment charged the prisoners with rioting and assenting the
police.—The first witness called was Mr. Watts, who de-
scribed the state of confusion the city ‘, SS thrown into on the
31st May by the attempt of a body of people from other towns
to enter, and in ccnaexion with others within the city to
hold a meeting, in consequence of which the military
and police had to be called out. He also detailed the state
of the city in the neighbourhood of New Cross on the
night in question, after the police and military had been
called out, and said he saw the prisoner Hayes throw two
stones at the police.—Mr. Superintendent Sawley was next
called he proved that he was in Ancoats-lane with a body
of police on the evening of the 31st of May, and saw the
prisoner Hayes, who was leading a number of the rioter,
put up his band and say with an each be should like to stab
the police.—Another policeman stated that he saw Cronahaw
throw two stones at the police, near Bennettstreet, and that
he followed him into a cellar and captured him.—Mr. Helmick,
chief superintendent of police, was also called, and anted
that he headed a large body of police with whom he had to
clear the streets very frequently in the neighbourhood of
New Cross. He said that a great number of stones were
thrown at the officers whilst in the performance of their
duty, and when he was in Bennett-street he had been struck
en the ancle with a stone, from the effects of which he had
been unable to walk to the office ever since. He could not
identify Cronshaw. Hall was identified by a policeman as
having thrown stones, bat in this case an alibi was set up
and he was acquitted. The other two prisoners were con-
victed and sentenced to be imprisoned for four months. The
rioters taken with arms in their hands were committed, it
will be recollected, to the assizes at Liverpool.
FATAL COLLIERY ACCIDENT AT WIGAN.—Oa
Friday an inquest was held before Mr. Heys, county coro-
ner, at Mr. Latham's Navigation Inn, in Ince, on the bodies
of T. Wilford, aged 37, and J. Atkinson, 23, ;who were
killed at the Ince Hall Colliery on Wednesday morning.
From the evidence adduced, it appeared that the deceased
parties were sinkers, and were repairing a certain part of
the pit which had been injured by the la'e inundation, of
which an account was given in the Express some months
sgo. They were upon a scaffold, and the bucket or hcppet,
which is used for taking down bricks, was ascending the
shaft, and when about twenty yards from the top the en-
gineer perceived a sudden jerk of the engine, and imme-
diately reversed the engine. The rope broke, and the two
unfortunates were precipitated a distance of about 70 yards.
When found they were quite dead. It further appeared,
both from the evidence of the witnesses and several of the
jury who were acquainted with the men, that the whole of
the materials were in excellent audition.—Verdict, "Acci-
dentally killed."

MANSLAUGHTER.—On Friday John Hayes, a
pipe maker, aged 25 years, was charged at the
court-house, Leeds, with having caused the death of an
elderly woman, named Hartley, m whose cellar he lodged.
On Tuesday he went home in a state of intoxication, and
asked the woman's daughter, Dinah Dutton, if she had "get
that shilling." Oa her replying in the negative he began to
ill-use her; and upon the old woman beginning to rate him
for his bad behaviour he kicked her, which broke two or
three of her ribs, and caused such severe internal itinerations
as to lead to her death ou Friday morning. lie was com-
mitted for trial.

THE. EXPLOSION AT THE BLOOMFIELD IRON
WORE6.—Another man has died from the injuries received
by this accident. Ile has left a wife and two children desti-
tute. A correspondent says, looking at the number of per-
sons employed at the works, it is miraculous that oompara.
tively so small a number received injuries, seeing that many
hundred workmen were concentrated in a limited space, and
that, too, closely adjoining the scene of the disaster. lied it
occurred ten minutes earlier, or had the boiler been projected
into the works instead of across the canal, hundreds of lives
would undoubtedly have been sacrificed. Not ninny
minutes before the explosion, in consequence of the
iron not being sufficiently heated, about twenty
persons employed at a rolling mill immediately be-
hind the boiler threw the rolls out of work, and went off
to amuse themselves. If they had been engaged at their
usual avocations not one of them, in all probability, would
have escaped. On each side of the spot between two and
three hundred persons were employed. The number of liras
thus perilled ought to induce the greatest care in rendering
steam boilers secure. For some time put scarcely a week his
elapsed without loss of life from explosions."

KENT.
REPORTED ROBBERY OF 1,000 SOVEREIGNS. —A.
report was current in Dover during last week that a gentle-
man named Brett was robbed of 1,000 sovereigns by a com-
panion on the Castle-hill. Mr. B. has offered to give 1001.
if the robber is taken. It appears strange (says the Dover
Ch►oniele) that a gentleman should take his airings with
1,000 sovereigns about him, and stranger still that he should
have it taken from him, and allow tke party taking it to
escape.
