a Hereford brewery, suddenly came out of the
trotting rank and dashed up agalest the cab.
The deceased was flung beadloag from his met, and he fell
amp the pavement with great force on his head. The cab

collision.
Pollos-constable Hanley, 122 H, stated that the brewer's
van came along at a (mime rate mod dashed into the cab.
Jobs Gibbons, the driver of the ma, said that the mam-
ma°, was entirely due to the bolting of his leader home.
He did not willingly leave the rank.
(It was stated that to leave the mot was se offence for
which any driver would be summoned by the police. Owing
to the exactitude with which the four ranks of vehicles
daily passing over the bridge kept to their respective tracks,
the granite pavement has become again worm into grooves.
The police said that the traffic has of late inereued consi-
derably, and that at present 190,000 peisoes eras the
bridge every day, on foot and in vehicles)
The coroner having summed up,
The jury returned a verdict " That deceased was killed

- -
An inquiry was held by Mr. Humphreys, Mid-
dkaax Coroner, last night. at the Oren-gate Tavern, City.
road, respecting the swede ad William flieskriah, aged 67
years.
Tbe deceased resided at No. 25, Paolo-terrace, City-road,
and a short time beck was left by a relative the sum of
1,4001. His lebite were intemperate, and be seat to live
with a young woman who led him aat sad dog life. He
frequently laid, "I wish I maybe foiled dead." On Tharsday
evening last be ealled for a pint of beer, and, having drunk
it off. he went upstairs end hanged himself to the door of

cord to his neck end a nail in the door, and then raising up
his left leg and bending his right, he effectually dislocated

day last because the former patinas had been made 'mood

THE MANCHESTER JEWELLERY ROBBERY.

WHOLESALE SEIZURE OF SILVER WATCHES
AT LEEDS.
Yesterday afternoon, as police-constable Brad-
ley was on duty in Brleg►te, Leeds, he saw • man standieg
in a yard leediog to • coffee-hones, whose moveme•ts
excited his suspicions. The fellow was evidently attempt-
ing to dispose of • watch to a man who was is enema-
Mon with him. As Bradley crooned the street to look
after this amateur sredeamtin the latter suddenly con-
cealed the "ticker,' and appeared inclined to move
away. Bradley, however, tried on • little game. He
pretended that be was am& is want of • watch,
and asked the fellow if he had one to sell. The man
answered in the affirmative, and produced • pate= silver
lever, for which he demanded 30a. Bradley pretended he
wild not afford such so outlay, sad offered 21.., an offer
which the fellow at mos agreed to accept. Bradley said b•
bad not got the money about him, but would go sod bor-
row it, and soon return, which latter promise be redeemed
by speedily reappearing on the OCelle in company with
several other officers, who made • descent upon the hones,
and apprehended so fewer than seven men, under the
(atonic( suspicious clreorestaoces : The first prisoner,
George Marsden, collier, had 44 10a lid sod two silver
watches upoo hire ; the second and third were two
other miner,, respectively named Rufus Diekessoo and
Solomon Bartle ; the fourth, George Booth, oleos miner,
had 241. 15e. 11d. in cash, and three watches, in his
poa-
sesuos ; the fifth, John Beige, hawker, was possessed of
IL 4s. 3d. and no fewer than 12 watches ; the sixth,
William Elam. wilier, had 3/. 15s. lid. and two watches
upon him ; and the seventh priseeer was Daniel Scott,
another "hawker." To police-constable Ripley the pri-
toner Menden said, "I nave two watches, but I keow
nothing about them ; they are sot mine; and the other
prisoners were also tumble to furnish any satisfactory se-
count of the valuables similarly found upon them. They
were subsequently locked up for further investigation. It
is supposed that the watches form part of the stock of
jewellery recently stolen in Hanshester.

The Western Morning News publishes a letter
addressed by the notorious Colonel Dawkins to the two
members for Totals, by whom he was defeated at the
late election. He tells Mr. Ponder that if he will take
his oath that lose of the electors who signed the requi-
sition to himself (Colossi Dawkins) have received, or
will receive, any of Mr. Pander's money, he is prepared to
withdraw some statements which he made against Mr. Pen.
der. As to Mr. Seymour's charge that "Colossi Dawkins
Is not a fighting man," the colonel replies—" I am prepared
be rale, him of his Offer le soon Se b• likes, at Wormerool
Bombs or elsewhere, sod thus probably relieve Totem at
once of a reprsesntetive not of her choke."
THE CONSERVATIVE REACTION. —Tbe strength of
parties in the new parliament will correspond exactly with
the emulate made by Mr. Dermal a week ago at Newport
Poison. Two hundred sad eighty-rise Sancti comperva-
tivea, and 368 gentlemen who must be ranked under the
very comprehensive sod extremely munsearine title of
liberals, have been elected—or, if we include in the
calculation the double return for Dambasoushire, the
numbers will be respectively 290 end 369. At
first sight this remit looks very mesh like a triumph
for the liberal party, but a little consideration will show
that the real gain epee the contest belongs to the pre-
servatives. Our strength in the lOW parliament is even
now, accepting the certificates of the returning cEcers ea
oonchurive, quite as great aa it was in Iles last parliament ;
and there is an eboolute certainty that an inquiry by com-
mittees of the Hones of Commons will give us several softie
which our opponents have only obtained by corruption and
intimidation. The leaders of the cossereative party eta
muster as many supporters in the present parliament for a
great party fight as they eould in the last, and that is a
conclusive proof that the geaeral deceits has not been die.
