CAUTION TO LODGING-ROUSE KEEPEB.S.—MR-
TROPOLITAN POLICL—We have received from the Metro- r.
politan Police-office the following official description of N.
three men, who have committed a number of robberies in
under pretence of seeking for furnished apartments. Ist. Se:
Age about 40 ; height, 5 feet 10 ruche* ; rather slim, florid U
complexion. 2nd. Age about 34 ; height, 5 feet 7 inches. St
3rd. Age about 30 ; height, 5 feet 7 inches ; sallow corn- it
plexion, hat turned up at the sides. They are all roved-
gk
ably droned. ski
Tax STOLEN BANIC-NOTEPAIMIL—No further for- 5
pries on theßank-note paper recently stolen from the mill of ;
Messrs. Portal and Co. (says the Times) have been detected lea
in circulation, and it is thought that with ordinary vigilance UP
lon the part of the public there will be but little danger of N
any additional notes being successfully weed. A report
that the notes already detected were so perfectly engraved t.
as to cause several of them to be narked as genuine on being s
weemted at the Bank for inspection is without foundation. s
One of them was received at a distant branch by a junior N
clerk in the absence of the regular examiner, but its
N.
character would otherwise have been immediately die- N.
covered. ge.
SUICIDE Or MR. MORTILL, or PICCADILLY.—L/II
Monday afternoon some persons in the neighbourhood of le
Keith, a little town between 40 and 60 miles north of Aber- N.
deco were surprised at seeing a strange gentleman proceed r.
somewhat horridly towards the Lynn. • favourite water- stk".
fall in the vicinity, and having reached ita edge and partly s
undressed himself, walk into the water of the Isla and ii.
immediately plunge headlong through a cutting of the rocks N.
into a deep shelving pool below. Instant measures were N.
taken by the person who observed the act to rescue the
stranger, but as he had sunk almost immediately on reach- ;
bag the water, all their efforts were vain, and it was not s
till some time after that the unfortunate man's body was die. N.
covered. It was carried to the parish church, and on search Is
being made in the pockets of the clothing a card was found 111
with the address " Mr. Henry__ Morell, Piccadilly, and 2, NI
Lanadown Villa, Forest-hill ." also • white cambric pt:
handkerchief, bearing in red letters the initials "H. M." 20
A large portmanteau, having the seine initials, and which s
had arrived by the afternoon train, was found in the U.
evening at the Keith Railway station. The deceased is St
understood to have been a member of the firm carrying on gs.
barmiest as wine merchants and Italian warehousemen in
Piccadilly.
RIOT AT WAKEFIELD.—TIC notorious " Baron 'm•
de Oamiu " has been the occasion of a disturbance at Wake-
field. On Monday be was assaulted by Roman catholic*, ;
and rescued from their hands by the police ; and on Tues- gip
day a protestant mob retaliated in his favour, by breaking

MURDEROUS ASSAULT ON • POLICE CONSTABLZ.
—A desperate assault was committed on a police con- N
stable, of the Hanley force, at Cobridge, on Monday N
night, and the poor fellow, whose name is James Crump, lies N
now in • hopeless condition in the accident ward of the North 1,
Staffordshire Infirmary. He had visited between 12 and 1 s
o'clock, • public house at Cobridge, where he bad a glass is
of ale. On coming out of the house he saw four half tipsy N
men whom he exhorted to go home. In return they SO
attacked him in the most violent manner, and after • blow N
on his part in defence, he was struck down insensible from t",
injuries on the head. Three of his amailanta have been dia. ;
covered and identified. The medical attendants at the 10
infirmary give no hope whatever of his recovery. His H
assailants will probably be brought before the borough N
magistrates to-day (Thursday).—Birminghan Pad.

Journal states a pair of spectacles have just been pre-
sented to Mr. Foley, the superintendent of the Wiltshire
police, who had charge of the Road murder case.
THE ALLEGED MURDER IN EDlNBURGH.—Yester-
b(Tuesday) a number of witnesses were precogoored
ore the procurator-fiscal, and the examination will be
continued to-day. The evidence of the witnesses has not,
of course, transpired, but we learn that it is now pretty well t
believed that the deceased had been afflicted with a fatal
disease for some time before her death. There is no doubt, 1,
if this should be found correct, that it will considerably II
mitigate the serious nature of the case so far as the prisoner 11
is concerned.— Edinherga Counsel.
THE MANCHESTER MURDER CASE—The Taylors
will be brought up for trial at the South Lancashire SI
Anises to-day. If the Taylor trial does not last all day hi
it is understood that the Ashton murder case will be 41
before the jury in the course of the afternoon. 1
ORANOE jury
Portadown correspon-
dent of the Freeman's Journal says : A riot of a party va-
ture took place in this town about 11 o'clock on the night
of the 16th inst., between some protestant, and Roman ca-
Medics, in which a man named John Redmond, a carpenter,
i.r.d of the latter rammasion, received a stab of a knife in et
the breast. The cause of the riot was that the protestant 81
party called out "To H— with the Pope." when the SI
other party cheered for " Garrvowen." The former party, M
having gone back into town for a reinforcement, immedi-
ately returned, when assaults were made freely on both is
odes, but, bearing the police were approaching, they dim. in
parsed in opposite directions. le
ACCIDENT TO AN EXCURSION TRAIN.—Last even- 1
ing an accident occurred to a return excursion train on the a
Leicester and Hitchia branch of the Midland Railway. The ke,
train left King's-cross in the morning to Bedford. in con. el,
nexion with the Bedford Regatta. The return train left Bed. 11
ford station at 6.20 p.m., and proceeded at about 30 miles an 11
hour to Hitchin ; when within a mile or two of the latter at
place it slackened speed, and at about a quarter of a mile :
from the station, just before its arrival at the junction Hi(
with the Great Northern line, the excursion train ran into le!
• cattle train standing near the platform. The collision I%
was so violent that the first three trucks, containing sheep, PI
were thrown off the line, forced against the platform, and 54..
broken. The passengers, about 200, were mast of them tL
injured by contusions upon the bead, face, and knees, some c
complaining of internal injuries. Those most severely in- is
jilted were conveyed to the home, in the neighbourhood
and attended to. S

INGENIOUS DEVICE OF AN IRISH LANDLORD.—A
large landed proprietor in Tipperary is said to have adopted
a plan for preventing his own assassination, which would no is.
doubt be successful if generally adopted. He has made a 11
will to the effect that if he is assassinated all his tenants are .90
to be evicted, their houses levelled, and the land converted ""
into a sheepwalk.
THE Haar/sr IN THE WEST.—Harvest operations „
have commenced in earnest this week (rye the She) borne !".1
Journal), and it is quite the exception to see • field of 04
wheat uncut. The corn is generally quite ripe and full- I:1
eared and the barley harvest promisee well. Oats are not 10.4
so forward as we have sometimes seen them, bat are no 1.4
exception to the good prospect generally presented. The 10,1
potato crop is an unusually fine and plentiful or. 12,1
No trace of the disease has been discovered so far
KI
as we can learn, and the absence of all complaint on •".4
that point shows that, although it may not be quite s
eradicated, its effects are much lessened. The last few ski
fine days have been peculiarly favourable for ripening the 40,1
crops and there is at last some prospect of settled weather. *1
The rain which fell on Friday and Sunday was not sufficient 2.4,
to hinder operations, but freshened up the mangold riz`,
and turnips', of which there are some excellent crops in isly
the neighbourhood, and which show to great advantage. ts,i
The Bridgewater ifervnr, Pays :—" The fine weather of 10,1
the past week hes contributed greatly to the ricers of 0.4
harvest operations, and some calculations may now be made 4,
as to the probable yield. The crop in Somerset is below ;;;;`,

SOWS to wheat this year, consequently the increased acreage hit
will bring the yield up to an avenge quantity. The barley 10.1
crop promises well ; oats and beans are favourable. The IL
