TDB E 'MORTON ON BOARD THE TONN I NO. —The
wounded men lying at Yarmouth are going on favourably,
and even a more satisfactoryi
report s made to-day 01
Ytusker Aints, the Dutch cattle-man, whose life has be=
despaired of. Much sympathy has attached to the fate of a
lad who disappeared at the time of the explosion, and
whom Orpteiu Rivers had taken up as a passenger. The
named this youth, who was from 15 to 16 years of age, Is
not known, but he stated to Captain Rivers that he was
going to Liverpool, where he had an uncle, a butcher, living
at some such place as Beverley, Bentley, or Beverton.hill—
the captain is not certain which. Possibly the publiadish
ef these particulars may lead to the boy's identification;
FATAL EFIFFICTS OF PRACTICAL JOICI NO. —An
bequest was held im Weduadav before Mr. E. Herford,
city coroner, at the Manchester Royal Infirmary, on a gift
14 years of ago, who bed come to her death under circum-
stances, to say the last, very disgraoeful to two other gals
employed in the same mill. The deceased, Sarah Ann
Savage, who wee a defier, and lived in Everyetreet, worked
at the cotton mill of Mesas. Joseph Clarke and Co., Percy-
street ; and there were present at the inquest, in custody,
Mary Blakey, Pollanletreet, jack tenter, and Margaret
Burns, Heath-street, jerk tenter, aged 16, both in the
same employ. Emma Jordan, who worked in the same
room with the deceased, stated that one day last
month one of the prisoners called to her, and when she went
to them, they got her down upon the floor, turned up her
clothes, and Berne tried to teem oil upon her. Witness
(Jordan) was then lathed by Blakey to go and tell the de-
ceased Sarah Ann Savage that she wanted her. She told
the deceased, who went to Blakey. Soon after witness,
who remained to put on some bobbins for Savage, saw her
running along the room screaming, with the lair torn off
her bead, which was bleeding. Witness stated that the
prisoners had committed the same outrage upon her (wit-
wee) before, but she never told the masters of it, because
she was ashamed. The overlooker was away that day.
—Matilda Jordan, aged 17, said that she heard the pri-
soners laughing ; Burns caught hold of deceased's clothes,
when deceased fell. Blakey helped to hold deceased down
until Barns fetched an oil-can. The deceased strualed
to get away from both prisoners, during which her hafr„
hanging loose, was caught by the copy wheel of a jack
frame, by which her scalp was torn off. The machinery
was stopped immediately, and the deceased taken to the
infirmary. The prisoner' fainted when they saw the mis-
chief which their disgusting conduct bad resulted in. Other
evidence to the same effect was tendered, and the nurse at
the infirmary stated that she noticed that the deceased,
when brought in and undressed, bad oil upon her.—Ms.
William Heath, horse surgeon at the infirmary, stated the)
the deceased had received extensive laceration os the scalp.
She gradually grew worse and died on Mondey* Death
was causal by infarnmatiOn of the membranes of the brain,
brought on by the injuries she had received. The twb
prisoners, after being cautioned by the coroner, admitted the
correctness of the statements made by the witnesses. Blakey
Mid she had never done so before. The jury, after some
deliberation, regarded the fatal occurrence as accidental.
and returned a verdict to that effect.
Dircurtn or Tormatian.—The Southern Field
wad Fireside thus exults over the decline and fall d
Tupperism in Ameries:—" One of the most cheering
signs of an advance in popular literary tame is
the United Sates is the fact that no publisher
has brought out ea Americaa edition of the latest
volume of poems of Martin Pmquhar Tapper. Se-
veral mouths hare puled by mace there appeared
is England • little work with the portentous title
of Three Hundred Semis* by the author of " Proverbial
Philosophy,"' but we have seen no announcement as yet
that it in to be reprinted in this country, and we congratulate
the public thereupon. 'Three Hundred' was a umber
small enough in the Pam of Therniopybe, but it be-
comes vast when applied to • collection of Tnpperiaa
Sonnets ; and if by some sad mischance we were compelled
to read the hook, we should indeed exclaim,
Of this three hundred grant but three !
A few years ago Mr. Topper's popularity in America
was something
prodigious. Judged by the sale of
' Proverbial Philosophy' here as well as in his native
island, he would have been ranked above Borns or
Shakespeare as the peat of the million, and the wide
acceptance obtained by his dreary Alexandrines furnished
• puzzle which has never yet been solved. The why and
wherefore of their immense circulation is beyond all
understeeding. But Tupper as a part has dwindled. • Pre-
verbial no longer awakens a drivelling eotku.

joyed ' wherever the Paschal% language is spoken among
men.' Let us rejoice at this proof of the more healthy cea•
dition of the American intellect.
