ATTEMPT AT BURGLARY AT THE RESIDENCE OF
MR. ALEXANDER HENRY, Ex M.P.—Yesterday morning
about 3 oVock, as officer 477, of the county constabulary,
was perambulating his beat at Crumpsall, near Manchester,
he noticed two men of a suspicious character, standing at the
door of the residence of Mr. Alexander Henry, (late M.P.,
for South Lancashire), at Crumpsall. The officer on duty
on the beat in which Mr. Henry's mansion is situated, is in
the habit of walking round the house and grounds, and it was
while so doing, in the usual course of duty, he perceived
two men evidently doing something at the door. He imme-
diately rushed forward, and secured one of the men, named
David Morris, the other taking to his heels, and thus effect-
ing his escape. Morris endeavoured to get away as well as
his associate, but in this he was unsuccessful, -though there
was a severe struggle between him and the policeman, which
lasted about half an hour. Eventually the officer succeeded
in getting his assailant upon the ground, when he speedily
affixed to him the unwelcome " ruffles." By this means he
was enabled to remove his ugly customer to the lodge, where
he was tcmporily confined. The officer then returned to the
mansion, and upon examination found that a square of glass
had been pushed open, and a piece of the pannelling

ueen wrencneu irons it. The missing piece of panneling
and a chisel were found on the grass plot within a short
distance of the window. The lodge-keeper corroborated the
evidence, and Mr. Henry's gardener stated that a number
of plants in the conservatory had been destroyed, and that an

ART IN THE NEW AND OLD WORLD.—We are en-
abled by the kindness of a friend in Paris, to make an an-
nouncement which will be received with pleasure by the
friends of art, particularly those in the United States.
Upon the suggestion of one of the most distinguished public
men of France, a society is now in formation to be called
the " Societe des Deux Mondes pour l'encouragement des
beaux Arts," the object of which is to create four great
exhibitions—one each in the cities of New York, Paris,
Vienna, and St. Petersburgh ; with the view of effecting the
the double purpose of securing to art purchasers every
possible gurantee of good faith, and to artists a noble career
of emulation, by combining in these saloons the best pictures
and the best statuary in France, Germany, Italy, and
England, with, the best products of rising American genius.
The artists of all nations are to be eligible, the view being
to establish universal schools which shall mark the progress
of art in the two hemispheres. The idea we are told, origi-
nated in New York

THE DYER'S STRIKE.—Last night at 8 o'clock,
a public meeting was held in the Corn Exchange, Hanging
Ditch, Manchester, on the subject of the Dyer's srtike. The
meeting which was similar to several that have recently been
held, was addressed by Mr. John Teer, Secretary to the
Dyers, and others, who advocated the claims of the operatives
to have the advance they contended for, namely, sixpence per
day upon their former wages.

THE CHOLERA.—Up to the time of the dispatch
of our correspondent's parcel last night, no case of cholera
had been reported to the authorities, either in Manchester or
Salford.

The body of Mr. James Chapman, of the Sefton
Arms, London-road, who fell overboard and was drowned,
as he was crossing from Eastham, in the ferry steamer, at
six o'clock on Sunday, the 18th instant, now lies in the
dead-house. It was discovered by the master of the flat
George the Fourth, off the Potteries. The outlines of the
face arc completely eaten away, and .the body was only
identified by the deceased's whiskers and watch. It appears
that the unfortunate gentleman, at the moment of the fatal
occurrence, was sitting forward in the boat, with his leg
over the side, and having lost his balance, was precipitated
into the water. On falling, it is supposed that he was
struck by the paddle, as there is a deep mark or wound on
the temple. The body will not be removed until the
inquest, which will take place to-day, has been held on it.

The very fine and commodious public room
recently erected in Hackins Bey, was yesterday inaugurated
by Mr. Branch, who offered for sale there a large quantity
of choice wines.

IMPORTANT TO OVERSEERS- —Yesterday, at the
New Bailey, Manchester, a case of considerable importance
to overseers come on for hearing, before Mr. Trafford and
some other magistrates. The complainant was Thomas
Hales (who was represented by Mr. R. B. B. Cobbett, soli-
citor, Manchester), and the defendant was John Ganthorpe,
Overseer for the township of Rosholme, for whom Mr. Wood,
solicitor, Manchester, appeared. In opening the case, Mr.
Cobbett stated that his client applied to the defendant, who
is overseer for Rusholme, to sign a certain certificate for
him, in order that he might be enabled to continue to keep
a beer-house in the township. The overseer signed one
part of the certificate, that relating to his being a resident
occupier in the township, but refused to sign a certificate,
to the effect that the complainant was a rate-payer in the
township. For some reason or other the officer was under
the impression that he was not bound to sign that certificate.
Mr. Wood, for the defendant, admitted that under the old
act of 1840 it was necessary for the overseer to sign the
certificate in question ; but it was not necessary to do so now
under the 3d and 4th Victoria, which repealed the previous
act. Mr. Trafford said the overseer had made a mistake.
_ _

Mr. Wood then referred to a decision of the Court of
Queen's Bench on the question. Mr. Trafford said the
overseer had signed a certificate to the effect that the com-
plainant was a resident occupant, which he was not bound
to do, but had refused to sign a certificate that the com-
plainant was a rate-payer, which he was bound to do. The
decision of the Court of Queen's Bench, to which Mr. Wood
had referred, bore upon a case in which an overseer of, if he
mistook not, Marylebone refused to sign a certificate that a cer-
tain person was the real owner or occupier of certain premises.
The judges decided that the overseer could not, of his own
knowledge,. know that he was the real owner or occupier,
and, therefore, that lie was not bound to grant the certificate

. - ---
asked for. But the overseer was bound to give a certificate
as to the rating, which came within his own knowledge.
As he presumed the object of the present complaint was not
a penalty, he should recommend the parties to the case to

come to: an amicable arrangement

'this was accordingly

done; the overseer being required to furnish the required
certificate, but no fine being imposed.
