The Alediterraneo-of Gen)a mentions a very seri
ous disturbance in the commune' of Ellera, in the
province- of Savona; "Piedilont.• On the 27th ult.
the town was thrown into commotion by a rumour
that the 'communal c.Ouncil.bad met for the purpose
of deciding the. question of cutting down a portion
of the communal forests, ameasure which was highly
unpopular. On the 28th crowds of people went to
the forest to lay hold upon all the would they could.'
The authorities sent carabineers to protect the coro-'
murtal property ; the ]attar found it necessary to ar-
rest two .persona ; whereupon a scuffle ensued, which
ended in.a general riot; the'-carabineers had to make
use of their fire-arms. but•their fire was returned
from the other side with interest. At last reinforce-
ments
arrived 'from &VOW, and tranquillity was
restored:- Several persons were severely wounded.

HE RETIRING MASTERS IN CHANCERY.—Yester-
day the senior Master in Chancery Farrer, with the con-
currence et, his colleague, Master Brougham, who retires
simultaneously on the full stipend of 2,500/. per annum,
issued a notice to the profession, stating that it was their
wish to finish the business of their offices as far as possible
before their retirement, under the Abolition Act, and to
afford every facility for the speedy conclusion of cases and
matters before them, and would be glad if the profession
would assist them in carrying out their intention.
DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AND Loss OF LlFE.—Yester-
day morning, about two o'clock, a fire, attended with a con-
siderable loss of property, and, unfortunately, with the loss
of one life, happened in tte premises belonging to Mr. W.
Johnson, proprietor of the St. George Tavern, No. 83, St.
George's-street, Commercial street, in the East. The fire
originated, from some cause not clearly ascertained, in the
front room second floor, at which period Mr. Johnson was
asleep. The light of the fire having been perceived by some
persons passing by they immediately raised an alarm, and
no time was lost in endeavouring to arouse the inmates, but,
unfortunately, the fire had obtained too strong a hold to be
easily extinguished, and Mr. Johnson was unable to effect his
ap The escapes of the Royal Society for Protection of
Life from Fire, and numerous engines of the London Brigade,
and those of the parish were quickly on the spot, and plenty
of water having been procured from the East London Water-
works, the firemen set to work in a most praiseworthy man-
ner, but before the flames could be subdued that portion of
the premises in which the disaster commenced was burnt
cut, and unfortunately Mr. Johnson was so seriously burnt,
that, in spite of the best medical attendance, the poor fellow
died shortly after being removed to the hospital. The loss
of property will fall on the Hand-in-Hand Fire-office.
MULTIPLICITY OF DEATHS FROm Coin' DE SOLEIL.
—Yesterday Mr. G. S. Brent held an inquest at the Green
Man, Harrow, on Michael Cerike, aged 40, a labourer in the
emply of Mr. Goodchild, proprietor of the " Forty Acres
Farm. On Tuesday, deceased, while haymaking, staggered
and fell. His fellow-labourers upon raising him up found
him in the agonies of death, and he only survived four hours.
Mr. Hewlett made a post mortem examination, and found
the death resulted from a coup de soleil. Mr. Brent held
upon Elizabeth Osborne, a nursery maid,
a second inquest at the Steward's Arms, Sheperd's Market,
the family of Mrs. Kingston. Deceased

and
laid herself outside the bed, from which she fell to thefloor
in a few hours afterwards a lifeless corpse and quite black.
Dr. Frost, who performed a post mortem examination, gave
ill,
it as his opinion that death resulted from a coup de soled.

The coroner remarked that the number of deaths that had
resulted from the same cause within the week was truly
frightful. Mr. Wakley had held two inquests in similar
cases It therefore was really necessary that medical men
should meet and decide upon some specific against such
dreadful casualities. Dr. Frost suggested the throwing of
water from a height upon the head of the sufferer, a treat-
ment successfully adopted in India. Before the coroner
concluded the second inquest, information reached him that
Mr. Webb, a cheesemonger, residing at 109, Tottenham-
while speaking to a lady, had fallen dead to the
coup de soled. Communications have reached
London
cou
from several districts announcing numerous fatal
catastrophes from the same cause.

SENTENCE OF DEATH ON TWO RIBANDMEN.—On
Thursday at the Louth assizes Baron Greene, in a most im-
pressive address, sentenced James Kirk and Patrick M'Cooly,
the two men convicted of the murderous assault on Mr.
James Eastwood, to suffer the extreme penalty of the law.
No day was fixed for the execution. The prisoners heard
the sentence with perfect indifference. A third person con-
cerned in the same outrage, a man named Betton, has also
been found guilty, and sentenced to transportation for life.
Mr. Eastwood, who was present in court, in feeling terms
besought his Lordship to spare the lives of the two men, and
mitigate the punishment to transportation for life. Baron
Greene said he would transmit the recommendation to the
executive Government.
