DEATH or Mn. WILLIAM EIlleON.--This excel-
lent Scottish painter. who was known by him works
beyond the waters of the Tweed, died at his house in
Sloane-street, suddenly, on Sunday last. Mr. Simeon as-
sisted Sir David Wilkie in the details and subordinate parts
of many of his works ; was of great aid to Mr. Scrape in his
boats upon " Deer Stalking ;" and will be remembered en
his own account by several small subject pictures and por-
traits, of which the beat are in the collections of Sir Robert
Peel and the Marquie of Lowdown.. He had a fine eye for
colour, but his deaf/as were, on moat occasions, very inferior
to his command of the pencil ; yet he told his story well,
and, we may add, was of mild and gentlemanly manners,
and thoroughly versed in the history and resources of his art.

We have Adelaide (South Australia) papers to the
10th of June, but they communicate no intelligence
of any interest. It may be gathered from certain
notices on mining, that an opinion began to be enter-
tained that too much capital had been abstracted from
the general fund for mining adventures, and the pur-
chase of land supposed to be rich in minerals. Eighty
thousand pounds had been thus paid away to
the land-commissioners, the withdrawal of which,
together with the drain for carrying on mining
works, was found to be inconveniently interfering
with the accommodation necessary for agriculture
and industry.

THE WEST INDIES.—A meeting of the West Indian
Association was held in Lower Brooke-street, Grosvenor-
square, yesterday evening, for the discussion of a memorial
upon therm sent state of the sugar-producing British colonies.
The memorial, which had been drawn up by appointment,
was, after a very interesting ea well as lengthened debate,
accepted, and will be immediately forwarded to the premier.

lions for work of late have been unprecedentedly numerous.

A STRANGE STORY is related by the nn Towns
Messenger. A man has been committed to take hi. trial at
Stafford Assizes, under the following circumstances. Ile has for
some time past hail to contribute a certain sum towards the
support of an illegitimate child. A few nights ago he met
its mother, and promised that if she would destroy their off-
spring he would immediately marry her. She promised com-
pliance, went home for the child, and returned with it to the
spot where the villain awaited her, and then hastened from
him in the direction of a coal.pit, whkh be indicated as the
one where the fatal act was to be consummated. In a few
minutes she returned to him without the child, and urged
him to leave the country with her end fulfil h:. promise
of marriage. But he pleaded an immediate engagement,
and promised if she would await his return a few minutes,
he would rejoin her to fly the country wi•.h her, and make
her his wife. Half an hour having elapsed, the young woman
left the spot. hastening to the place where she had left her
infant sleeping in safety, having only seemed to fall in with
the views of the miscreant in order to obtain the fulfilment
of his promise. She then hastened home, and, as she was
making preparations for bed, was alarmed by a loud
rapping at the door, and the appearance of two police-
officers in company with his soi disone lover, who charged
the young woman with the murder of her child. The latter
was presented, the matter explained, and the confused and
trembling miscreant, after receiving a good castigation from
his victim, was taken into custody.

SINGULAR DISCOVERT.—Asaome workmen were
lately excavating under the floor of the vestry• in Northaller.
ton parish church, for the purpose of laying down pipes for
warming the church, at the depth of about six feet from the
surface they discovered the remains of a human body, sup-
posed to be that of a female, who had been interred with
her shoes on, the latter being nearly perfect, with the ex-
ception of the soles being parted from the upper leathtr, the
toes if which hare been very long and sharp pointed, and
have had high wood heels, one of which was nearly perfect
when discovered. From the appearance of the canto around
the said remains, it is thought that she Lin been interred
with her clothes on, as no wend, or any trace of a coffin, is
to be seen. The vestry is situate in the north transept of the
old Saxon part of the church, aad is supposed to base been
built in the time of King William and Queen Mary, as the
royal arms of that period appear painted abase the dour of
the vestry.

board of the bed, and at the moment felt a strange sensation ,
about her threat. At this time her son came from another
room to light a candle, aryl on doing so she found the blood
streaming from her throat. A surgeon promptly attended
and dressed the wound in her throat. It was her impression
that the prisoner was the person who had inflicted the
wound. From the threats the prisoner had used towards
her she feared thst something of the sort would hap's( n. On
the morning in question witness saw her mother pick up
the handkerchief produced in the hi:dram, and she had no
doubt whatever it belonged to the prisoner, and the one he
used to wear round his neck. She was positive to its identity,
aa she had frequently washed it, and was certain that it was
not in the room on the Sunday night when they went to bed.
Eliza Challis, the daughter of the last witness, corroborated the
whole of her evidence, as did Mrs. Sophia Cressey, the
mother of the prowcutrix. The latter added that the pri-
soner had frequently expressed a great desire to marry her
daughter.—Joseph Haww, a lodger in the house of the pra-
secutrix, add that on going to bed on Sunday night the win-
dow was fastened, but on the following morning it was open,
and a ladder placed close to it. On the next day (Monday)
witness missed a pair of shoes from the wash-house of the
proseeutrix, where he had placed them on the evening before,
and those produced were the same.—From the evidence of a
sergeant and three constables it appeared that, after the
alarm had bete given on Monday, the Ist iust , they found •
pair of old boots belonging to the prisoner in an out-houre
adjoining that of the prosecutrix, and on comparing found
them to correspond with the footmarks in a field leading
from the premises of Mr. Somes, a farmer, front whence the
ladder hod been taken. The shoes belonging to the witness
If awes, and which had been taken away from the house of
the prosecutrix, were taken off the feet of the prisoner at Il-
ford gaol.—The prisoner, who declined making any defence,
was committed upon two charges, the one for the attempt at
murder, and the other for stealing the shoes.

There was a meeting yesterday, at which the Lord
Mayor presided, the purpose of which was to com-
memorate, by a suitable monument or other testimo-
nial, the services and memory of Mr. O'Connell. A
committee was appointed and arrangements made to
commence and carry out a national scheme; and it
was determined to organise a simultaneous subscrip-
tion, on the plan and according to the machinery of
the collections made for the O'Connell Tribute. The
contribution of individuals is limited to 31., but parties
wishing to contribute more are invited to do so,
either in the names of members of their families or
in their own, m meted, third, &c., subscriptions. A

commiderable lamount was oontributed at the meeting, I
and •goenos steps are being taken to prepare for the
general national oontribation. It is expected that the
amount realised will be from 40,0001. to 60,00 W. The
nature of the testimonial is not decided on.

SCOTLAND.
EDUtattlifilif, APOINIT 6.
The opinion expressed by the Balorees in regard
to Mr. Cowan's disqualification is that of the great
body of electors, who feel that to take any advantage
of an accidental disability would be petty in the ex-
treme. "One bale more," it seems, would finish
Messrs. Cowan's contract as regards quantity, and as
regards time, it will be out before the assembling of
parliament. It is said that he intends retiring from
the firm forthwith, and in this event his supporters
are making such arrangements that when the disqua-
lification comes to be announced, his re-election will
be a matter of certainty.
The Earl of Dundonald announces himself a can-
didate as a Scotch representative peer, an honour
that is rarely made the object of public solicitation,
although in his ease this unusual course is perfectly
justifiable. Perhaps no election excites so little in-
terest as the one in Holyrood Palace, but on this
occasion all eyes will be turned on its picture
chamber, and there is little doubt that the Scotch
nobility will do justice to one of the most illustrious
of their body.

unfortunate man, but in a few seconds the buffer
of the up train struck him with fearful violence, the
force of which sent him forward under the down train,
which happened to be passing at the same instant, and the
wheels plumed over his legs. As soon as possible, several per.
sons ran to the unfortunate man, and discovered him lying
eaves the rails, moat shockingly mutilated. His right foot
wan cut off near the ankle-punt, the left was dreadfully
crushed, and manned to be hanging by a piece of flesh.
His head was lacerated at the base, the left arm fractured,
and his body, in various peers, was seriously contused. He
was removed to the station, bleeding most copiously from the
injured parts; and, after having been wen by a medical gen.

el ABA LEBONI.—Last night, a meeting of the electors of
the borough of Marylebone took place at the Exmouth
Arms, Hampstead-road, for the purpose of affording Lord
Dudley Stuart en opportunity of expressing his political sen-
timents, as a candidate for the representation of that bo.
rough. The chair was taken by Chu. Eden Wagstaff, Esq.,
the junior churchwarden. Lord Dudley Stuart stated that
he had been a reformer, but was of opinion that reform was
now ou• of fashion. While • reformer he had satisfied a
great many good and tried men. He then adverted to the
working of the reform bill. The noble lord gave his opinion
upon the b,llot, and argued that, whether it was considered
as a point of privilege or a point of duty, the voter ought to
be protected in the free exercise of his discretion. The noble
candidate then expressed himself favourable to triennial
parliaments, the extension of franchise, the repeal of the
" rate-paying clauses in the Reform Bill," repeal of the
window tax, and the health of towns' bill. After some fur-
' ther remarks, the noble lord, in reply to questions put to
him by some of the company, stated teat he was unprepared
to pledge himself to soy particular question.—Mr. How;,,,th
moved a vote of thanks to Lord Dudley Stuart, for the very
candid manner in which he had come :award to express his
opinions, which was seconded by Mr. Etherington, out who.

down by the noble lord; and, at the end of a long and
stormy speech, the proposition was put and carried nem. con.
Mr. Serj,aut Shee, another candidate for the borough, was
also present. The meeting retired at • late hour.

Trade, oe 'A the Admiralty, bet solely to a daunt is the
Railway damp Consolidation Act, which did not apply to
bridges across any river, but to Midges acmes roods, which
coo:sa net be of any great width of *pea. With regard to the
Admiralty, the house was aware that they exerdsed very
useful functions in protecting the rights of river naviga-
tion. He had communicated to his honorable
friend the Secretary to the Admiralty, that be had re-
ceived notice of this question from his honourable
friend, and he wu in the house yesterday, and would have
answered any question which had been put to him. He was
not there now, and he hoped his hon. friend would pet his
question to hilt.
Sir O. CLERK said, that, to the best of his recollection,
there was no ease in which the railway department of the
Board of Trade had insisted on bridges being made of cer-
tain dimensions by any engineers. With regard to the letter
which had been addressed to Lord Dalhousie, it did not refer
to bridges over rivers, but to the powers given by parliament
in the Railway Clauses Consolidation Act. With regard to
the powers exercised by the Admiralty, it wu their duty to
on to the free navigation of rivers and that they were not
obdraoted by rails aye or any other works. On the en-
thuses rested the responsibility of the safety of the bridges,
sad Ito protests(' against any engineers expressing opinions
of this kind.
Mr. OISBORNE did not bring this subject foeward LS on
any guaranteed statement, but only with reference to what
he thought a very strong paragraph in a newspaper, and he
wished to give the Times an opportunity of explanation.
When he gave notice of his motion, be did not know that a
letter bad been written to Lord Dalhousie, or he would have
given notice to the right bon. gentleman.
Mr. HUME inquired from the right hon. gentleman at
the head of the railway department whether the house and
the public might expert to be furnished with any report u
to the real cause of the accident on the Dee-bridge, at Chester ?
Mr. STRUTT replied that the railway commissioners had
sent down two competent gentlemen to make an inquiry into
the subject, and to obtain every information in their power ;
and, in order to enable them to prepare a full report on the
matter, the coroner's inquest had been adjourned to Wednes-
day next, when, no doubt, it would be submitted to the
coroner and theury.

ARCHES COURT.

TRU OFFICE OF THB J ODOR PIBOIIOTED ET FAIINELL
•OLIEBT TUB REY. Mit. CHAIO,
Herbert Jeaner Fust gaye judgment in this cause, which has
been some time before the court, and of which the particu-
lars have been already duly reported in the columns of the
Express. The learned judge entered into a lengthened
analysis of the evidence which had been previously adduced,a
great portion of which was not fit for publication. This occu-
pied nearly 6 horn, when Sir H. J. Fust concluded by giving
the following judgment : " I do not think it satisfactory to
my mind to say the cue is clearly established, but I do not
say it is disproved. I cannot say there is no suspicion
attached to it, or that the articles in this case are not proved.
The rev. defendant's conduct to Charlotte Smith has been
proved, and he might have behaved in the same manner to
others. I think the parties have failed is proving those
articles in respect
to Ann Smith, to whom he is said to have
conducted himself in a very improper manner. The ques-
tion is, how shall it be visited on Mr. Craig. If he had
satisfied the court in reference to this cue the court
would have decided that the parties bad failed to
establish their articles ; but it appears he has con-
ducted himself in • very improper manner, and
some punishment must be administered to him. It ap-
pears that during the period he has been in the parish, that
it has gradually improved, yet he appears not to be the per-
son who should have the charge of such a parish, having
conducted himself in the manner he has. The question
is, what shall be the punishment; and then as to the
matter of costs, how is that to Ise decided ? I think
the party has proved enough to justify his coming into this
court, without attaching to him any malicious feeling, and
has clearly established one part of his case. I therefore
think it is my duty to suspend the Rev. Mr. Craig from his
duties for the space of two years. I think I shall also con-
demn him in part of the expenses of these proceedings; but I
cannel say how much. The rev. defendant must be con-
demned in a fine of 2501., besides being suspended for two
years. The articles 6,6, 7,8, and 9, are not proved."

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, NOT. 10.
It is alike painful and disgusting to report daily on
the violence of Tipperary. Brutal murders—assaults
—searches for arms—almost every form of crime is of
constant occurrence. The last display of brutality is

thus stated : a party of armed ruffians, on Siii;day
night, entered the house of a farmer named Harding,
and demanded his arms. He had lent or concealed
them, and in consequence was frightfully, though not
mortally, beaten. 'idettes were posted outside to
prevent surprise, as the police were on their nightly
round in that district. A youth named Devitt, at-
tracted by the cries of Harding, approached the door,
and not hearing, or disregarding, the remonstrance of
the sentinels, was immediately shot through the body.
He is not yet dead. How far the present agitation
in favour of tenant-right has stimulated the instinctive
propensity of Tipperary to aggravated disorder, it
is impossible to say, but there unquestionably is some
connexion between the two movements. A new
source of agrarian outrage has shown itself at Holy-
cross. It is, however, right to state that in the other
eastern and southern counties where tenant-leagues
have been formed, the public sentiment has not been
corrupted with crime, There is to be a tenant meet-
ing shortly in Kilkenny, and another next Sunday in
Cashel. The latter is unlikely to exercise a healthy
influence on the progress of the north riding to tran-
quillity.
I noticed a late statement in the Kerry Examiner
that the Listowel guardians had been cashiered, and
replaced by a paid board. Mr. Sandes, one of the
unpaid, corrects the report of dismissal, and declares
that perfect harmony subsists between the commis-
sioners and Listowel Board. .E contra, the Tipperary
Board, like all Tipperary county, is in a state of agi-
tation. Four members have resigned, because they
say the relieving officers have taken the entire re-
sponsibility, and not given satisfaction. As to the
latter complaint, the remedy is obvious; and with
respect to the assumption of responsibility, that is
rather a loss than a gain to the relieving officers. If
they exceed their duty, they fall under the double
control and censure of the guardians and poor-law

a little more prudence, and remain at their post, in-
stead of making concessions of a pettish or peevish
spirit.
Mr. Mayne, assistant barrister for Mayo, died on
Sunday at the residence of the Marquis of Sligo. He
fell suddenly ill at the Westport Sessions, and sank
after a few days. He was a near relative to the late
judge of that name, of whom the witty Tom Parsons
" He has ascended by his gravity, while I de-
scend by my levity." Numerous candidates are
named—so numerous, indeed, that a lottery has been
got up which is likely to realise large stakes.

ceeded with separately the costs would be enormous; whereas
the whole demand could be investigated, and the rights of
the parties determined, at infinitely less expense, by bringing
one action in any of the superior courts. If 3,000 actions hap-
pened to be brought in a superior ooart, and the question at
tame muttse same in emelt (south* present easel the derision in
one would determine all the others. Even sup ' the de-
fendants were liable for the whole amount of the ' tire
demand there had beer but one order given by them, and
the legislature never intended that any debt should be split
up rote 3,000 parts, in order that each should be within the
jurisdiction of a county court, and that a separate action
might be maintained for eac►.—Ur. Baron Alderson: If
t►at principle were to be admitted an apot►ecary might
bring a separate action against a patient for each ingredient
of each of a number of pills delivered in one pill-box.
(Laughter) It was quite clear some person would make
• pretty good sum by such a course of proceeding, if it was
allowed.—The Lord Chief Baron observed, that if the course
described to have been pursued in the present case were to
be permitted, instead of being "Au Act for the more easy
recovery of small pebts," it should have been entitled "An
act to split large debts into smell amounts, for the purpose
of increasing costs."—A role to show cause was granted.

STATE OF THE COUNTRY.

I have great gratification in writing, what your readers
will be equally gratified in learning, that the whole of the
accounts from the provinces this morning are easier in their
character, and present prospects of the future which enure
ns that we shall scarcely have again to record the horror of
Skull and Skibbereen in the south, and the equal horror of
Bailing and Foxford in the west. Thee soup kitchens are in
universal operation, and the utmost seal and anxiety are ma-
nifested by the managers to render them as universally v-
pliable to the relief of destitution. In this they are succeed-
mg ; for seal well directed always will succeed.
In Belfast the relief committees are distributing coals at a
cheap rate, as well ssfood.
Robberies and thefts seem still the order of the nigh!, but
even these seem mitigating in frequency ; and when the
relief measures propounded by Lord John Russell become
of universal adoption, there is little doubt that the interests
of society, and the common feeling of the reredoses of pri-
vate property, will stimulate the well-ordered to suppress
them altogether. Meantime there is, of course, much dis-
tress ; but the journals before me complain of its consequen-
ces in general terms, not fortifying their statements by any
recorded facts.
The Leinster Express of this morning relates the ru-
moured murder of a pay-clerk in the neighbourhood of
Thurles, on the authority of a letter (run Maryborough, and
adds that he was robbed of 500 f. The localities named are
very di,tent, and I should say that the story very much
needs confirmation on that account. The Tipperary papers
have no trace of the rumour.
The late Mayor of Limerick, Alderman Ryan, a repealer,
has been appointed a stipendiary magistrate.

PROVINCIAL.

A et•ItOTMAN, AT BLACKIII.OI, the Rev. A. G. Edeuart,
was charged on Friday at the pike-office in that town with
a-ssauiting a woman in the streets at midnight whilst in an
alleged state of intoxicaticn The rev. defendant made •
cress charge against the husband of the woman for striking
him. Two policemen spoke as to the condition of Mr.
Fedottrt, who it appeared had been " dining out," and fur-
ther evidence harmir been heard, the magi-tutee after con-
sultation dismissed both Case% on the ground that the com-
plainant, Mrs. Bromley, had mistaken the man who had
Insulted her, her evidence proving that he had on a brown
coat, reaching to his knees, while Mr. Elouart's coat was a
block one, reaching below th- knees. (Tbe coat was put on
by the rev. gentleman, and reaches! about two inches below
his knees.) Mr. Edouart WAS not, theretme, the man who
had abused her. With respect to the other charge, the nas-
g:strates held that her hushana red acted properly an knock-
tog Mr. Edouart down, under the insprets:on that be had
abused his wife. Both cares were accordingly diantiased,

VISIT TO THE HIGHLANDS.

Frunev.—The Highland game, having closed last evening,
at seven o'clock, her Majesty entertained • select circle at
dinner. This morning, at an early hour, her Majesty, with
the royal children, took a ride on ponies over the hills, as far
as Locharb, a mountain turn about two miles distant from
the lodge, in Ben Aulder deer-forest. The Prince also rode
out, accompanied by the head keeper, Mr. Cattanacb, and
made a survey of the deer-forest, tier Majesty drove out in
a carriage, drawn by four grey horses, about four in the
afternoon, intending to drive up Strathmashie. Tier Majesty
was accompanied by the Duchess of Norfolk, Lady Jocelyn,
and the royal children, and attended by the Duke of Nor-
folk, Gen. %Ventres, the lion. Capt. Gordon, and Sir J. Clark,
Prises Albert not having returned frem the forest. Her
Majesty had not driven far from the lodge when a thick
drizzling mist enveloped the hills, and by the time the party
had reached the boat-bridge the rain had become un-
comfortably heavy. Her Majesty then determined to re-
turn, and drove back to the ledge, followed by the corlige.
The duty of a weather prophet in this Highland district would
seem to be anything but a sinecure. The royal party had
scarcely reached the lodge when the mist cleared away, and
the day became more beautiful than ever. At five oclock
the Earl of Aberdeen drove up in a carriage and four, and
remained at Ardverekie. lila lordship came from his seat in
Aberdeenshire.

SATURDAY.—Beautiful weather this morning again. At
ten o'clock the Marquis of Abercorn rode over to the lodge,
and, with his royal highness, shortly afterwards went out to
the grouse-shooting on the moors of Strath ?mattock. The
party have not yet returned.

THE OVERLAND INDIAN MAIL.

The Overland Mail from India, via Marseilles, did
nut reach the offices of "The Combined" till Saturday
morning, more than taw days after the despatches brought
by Lieutenant Waghorn's express had arrived at the office of
the Daily News. The intelligence unscrupulously trans.
hared by our rivals from our own to their columns ; so com-
pletely anticipated the Marseille!. Express, that our rivals
thought it not worth while to print a Bangle line of its
contents. Even the Standard, which has the command of
on all occasions of the Morning Herald's despatches, was con-
tent on Saturday evening to squeeze into an obscure corner
the following modest paragraph :
Ins OVVILIAND Mao..—The overland mail has arrived m due
nurse; but the intelligence it brings has been already published.
Provincial papers from all pert), of the country have reached
lus, containing the Indian news, iu which the source whence
it is derived is honestly set forth. The Dublin papers in no
one instance neglect that courtesy. Ono of the newspaper
agents having forwarded a copy of the Daily News to the
Coasimander-ux•Ctief of the Forme in Ireland, the following
acknowledgment was promptly letursed :

It is to be regretted that the London weekly petal in every
instance save two (the Weekly Chronicle and the Weekly
Tinsel) have been less scrupulous than the provincial edi-
tors, and have, like the daily paper*, omitted to state that
they are indebted to the Daily News for the important
Indian intelligence which they have adopted. It is pos-
sible, however, that the artful petty larcenies of the morn-
ing prints may have mystified them on the subject.

begged to be allowed to address a few words to the 'magis-
trate, as the proceedings which in the first instance Lad
taken place at this court had gained such extensive publicity ;
he then stated that as soon as tt was heard that some suspicion
rested upon Mr. Joseph Myers, he (the solicitor) forwarded&
communication to the prosecutor as far back as the 17th uf May I
last, informing him that Myers was most ready and willing
to come forward to meet at once any charge which might be
preferred, and as that course bad been pursued he could not
help complaining of his client being taken into custody by
the police in the manner which he had been. His object in
making this brief notice of the matter was that of obtaining
insertion thereof in the papers, as they had given publicity to
all which had, upon the first inquiry on the 22nd ult., transpired
before the court.—Mr. Long observed that with that he had
nothing to do; the gentlemen who attended for the press
to report proceedings, would of course exercise their own dis-
cretion in the matter.—Mr. Joseph Myers then left, accom-
panied by hie solicitor and numerous friends.
THAMES.—AN IMPORTANT NEW LAW.—John Robin-
son, a ship-rigger, was brought before Mr. Ballantine,
charged (under the 10 & 11 Vie., cap. 66, which contains
only two section., and received the royal &sent on the 9th of
last month) with sending Mr. Buchanan a threatening
letter. This was the first case under the new law.
which is entitled, " An act for extending the provisions
of the law respecting threatening letters, and accusing
parties with • view to extort money." Parties sending
letters threatening to kill or murder are to be deemed guilty
of • felony, and upon conviction are liable to transportation
for any term not less than seven years, or imprisonment
and hard labour for any term not exceeding four
years ; and, if the offender is a male, he may. in
the discretion of the court, be publicly whipped, in addition
to his imprisonment. The prisoner, who was (rift° unknown
to Mr. Buchanan, rant bins • threatening letter, declaring he
would blow kis brairwout unless he sent him five sovereigns.
, The police were communicated with, and the money was for-
warded by a boy, to whom the prisoner gave an acknowledg-
e ment in the following words, " Received of the hearer.—
, John Robinson." He then left his house with the lad, and
was given into custody, and the money was found in his pas-
t Isession.—The prisoner was committed for trial for the felony,
and will be the first tried ander the new law.
