EPORT ATTENDED WITH FATAL CONSEQUENCES.-
On Tusday afternoon a melanch oy death resulted t, a boy,
aged tea year., tbrough the Lelimo freaks of two other lads
of about the same age. The decea.ed, Valentine George
Smith, was bathing in the river with a number of playmates,
arnompt whom were two named Potter and Battle. &nil',
it appears, was unable to swim, and Putter and Butt!.
amused themeelves by pushing him uuthr water several
times, until at last ►e got oat of his depth, and being unable
to gain a forting, kicks I ab rut very considerably, and at last
sunk. Wails he was striving to k. hip himself above
water, a lad new 4 Bullock, about four's, n years of
art, plunged into the water sad endeavoured to rescue
Smith, bat finding himself in danger of being drowned
through deceased's palling him flown, he made his
way beck to the water's edge. All this time Battle, who
had been to sorriest extent instru mental in placing Smith is
this dangerous podtion, and who was ►ble to swim, sever
once attempted to save the unfortunate lad, and dimmed
was thu klt in the wet,r an it an hour or so aftrxwerds,
when a bowman, named Buttl,, succeeded in getting him
oat by means or a boat-hook ; ha was then, however, quite
dead. Au inquest was held on the body, and the jury re-
turned the following vertiet: That the deceased came to
, his death from the acts of Frederic Bunk and Ho rut
Potter, in divine and putting him under wettr, but that not
being capable of exercising discretion, by reason et their
age, ithe pry cannot chugs them with the crime of man-
' sLughter.—Ainrfold Nowt.

THE ALLEGED MURDER OF A GAMEKEEPER AT
HILMILTON.—Tbe person sus tented of having murdered the
gamekeeper Kirby, near Hamilton, on Wedneeday night,
was apprehended on Thursday morning. Ha was Inca.-
dvrely conveyed to t►e Calton P. bee-office, wles re be at
ones confessed that bet had been the cause of the unfortu-
nate gem keeper's death, but alleged that it was purely the
m ster of accident. He stated that be had beta challenged
by the cleansed with gambit-1r on the Duke of Hamilton's
strounde, who, after considerable alt. reat as, set the dogs
with which he was accompanied on him, by whim he was
turn to the ground, and in the course at the muffle his gun
aeci•'enWly went off, and is cintents were lodged In the
d ceased's body, killing him on the spot. He was imme-
iliataly °envoy, d by The= a in a cob to Ham Iton, wrien
he would be examined by the sheriff in the course of the
day. In reference to the prisoner's explanation of the oc-
currence, we learn that a fact has coma sat in the course of
the etamiasti•tn of the bedy of deceased, with which it can
he with difficulty reconciled. It has been found that unread
of the balls having p netrated the heart in a vertical direc-
tion, as would have be. n likely 'he case if the pun had gone
off accidentally in the comae of a muffle, they h►ve passed
straight through, thereby leading to the supposition that the
deed must have been the result of design rather than of so
cident.—Nert/s British Mad.

DEATH Or A CLERGYMAN PROM CROLERA.—In
St. Martin's, Stamford, on Friday lust, the Rev. Thomas
Brows, aged 80. The rev. gentleman had been on a visit to
Briektou, and it is feared, from the symptom which secom•
panied his death, that he caucht the cholera in cueing
through London. He was taken very suddenly at Peterbo-
rough on Thursday, sad died the nest stormiest. It is let
dote our task to record the des'h of one so respected and be-
heed as wa• the rev. gentleman; his c►arities were
unbounded. and in him the poor of this town en I neigh-
bourhood have indeed lost a warm friend.—Bos'ow Herald.

ALARMING ACCIDENT.—An accident, which might
have been attended with fatal coneequencer, took place near
Brecknock, soon after the ball. While Colonel Watkins,
Lord Lieutenant of Brecknockshire, was driving his four-in-
hand, alone upon the box, the horses suddenly took (Gabe,
and galloped off with frightful rapidity. Before arriving at
a dangerous point of the road, the Colonel had the presence
of mind and the skill to overturn the drag. which at once
brought the mad mete of the steeds to a close. The two
ladies inside, although mach alarmed, escaped with a few
scratches up .n their hands ; but Colonel Watkins received a
severe blow or sprain upon the instep, which has confined
him to the house ever since. The excitement occasioned in
the neighbourhood by the first reports of the accident was
very great; and such is the esteem and respect in which the
sufferers are held, that in • very short time at least 60
families in the vicinity had either called or sent to inostae at
Pennoyre, for the health of the injured parties. We are
glad to hear that Colonel Watkins is progressing favourably.

attention te house ventilvion ; and dreadful explosions and
lose of life in mines demand no less anxious efforts to devise
means for the prevention of these calamities, we have much

which, we relieve, t)ere cannot be a doubt, and on a prin-
ciple at onto me st sisa; le and one:Fee:bd. Without going
lets details at edema; we may state that the improv-
e meats are based upon an action in the syphon
which had not prrvi.uely attracted the noting of
any experimenter—re., that if fixed with legs of
unequal length, the air rushes Into the shorter
leg, and circulates up, and discharges itself from the longer
ler. It is espy to see how readily this can be applied to any
ehamber, in order to purify its atmosphere. Let the orifice
of the shorter leg be dirpcsed where it can receive the *ar-
rest, and lead it into the chimney (in mines, into the shaft),
so IS to covert that chimney or shaft into the longer leg, and
you have at once the Circulation complete. A dialler air
cyphon eon be employed to ships, and the loges: bolds,
where disease is generated in the close berths of the crowded
seamen, be rendered as as the upper decks. The curio-
sity of this discovery is that air la a syphon Ti verses the
Action of water, or other liquid, which Oaten and deesair,
or moves down in the longer leg, and rises up in the
shorter leg. This is now a demonstrable fact; but
how is the principle to be accounted for ? It puzzles our
philoso-lay. That air in the bent tube is not to the sur-
rounding atmosphere as water, or any heavier body, is eei•
dent; and it must be from this relation that the updraft la
the longer leg is canoed, and the constant circulation and
withdrawal of polluted gases carried on. But he this as it
may, one thing is certain—that a mote useful and important
discovery has never been made for the comfort and health of
civilised men. We see no end te its application. There is
no sanitary measure suggested to which it may not form a
moat beneficial adjunct. There is not • hovel, •
cellar, • crypt, or a black close hole anywhere,
that It may not cleanse and disinfect We trust that no
time will be lost in bringing it to the public test on
• large male, and we foresee no impediment to its
being immediately and universally adopted for the public
weal. We ought to remark, that Ares or heating apparatus
are not at all necessary ; and that, as the specification en-
' presses it, " this action is not prevented by making the
shorter leg lot whilst the longer leg remains cold, and no
artificial heat is necessary to the longer leg of the aaayphon
to cause this action to take pleat" Extraordinary as this'
ma appear, we hays witnessed the experiments made in
vicious ways, with tubes from lees than an inch to nearly •
foot in diameter, and we can vouch for the fact being
perfeetly demonstrated. Light gas does demand the
shorter leg whoa heated, and ascend the longer leg where
the column of air is amok colder and hsavist.—Literary
