WORSHIP-STREET.

Thomas Walford was charged with a murderous
assault upon his father, an infirm and aged man,
whereby his life had been seriously endangered.
When called upon for his defence the prisoner sul-
lenly answered that he was labouring under feelings
of strong provocation, and was so excited at the time
that he scarcely knew what he was doing.
Mr. HAMMILL severely animadverted upon the
brutal and unnatural conduct the prisoner had exhi-
bited towards his unfortunate parent, and sentenced
him to pay the extreme penalty of 51., or in default
to stand committed to the House of Correction for
two months; in addition to which he was required to
put in substantial bail to keep the peace towards his
father for the further term of six months.

The prisoner was unable to fulfil either of the
above condition., and was therefore transferred to
prison in the van.

CLERICENW WELL.

Petrick Kavanagh, a stout-looking young man, was
finally examined, charged by Mr. Joshua Whaley,
master tailor, of Northampton-terrace, City-road, St.
Luke's, with a violent assault and highway robbery.
Mr. CoaRIE—I must commit him for trial, but I
will accept bail for his appearance at the sessions to
answer the charge.—He was conveyed to Newgate.

EXTINCTION OF A COAL MINE FIRE.—The fire
in Lord Bradford's coal mine at (rest Lever, near Bolton,
which originated from an explosion of fire-damp a few weeks
ago, has been extinguished by Mr. Gurney's system of filling
the mine with choke damp. The level where the fire existed
is still very hot, but there is no appearance of the existence
of fire. Search has been made for the bodies of the two un-
fortunate men who lost their lives by the explosion, but
hitherto without success. A portion of their clothing, which
they took off before commencing work, was found near the
place where they were employed, bat the bodies were not
there, so that it is possible they may have perished in some
of the old workings, while endeavouring to make their
escape; or it may be that the bodies are covered, the roof
of the mine having fallen in various places.--Illanchester
Guardia's.

The Osservatore Romano states that the receipts of
the Pontifical Customs for 1851 will equal, if not exceed,
those of the most prosperous year.
