THREE O' CLOCK.

The circumstance of Colonel WEBB, M.P.
for Gloucester, having voted against Ministers on the
Downton question, seems to have given great offence to
some of his constituents, who testified their disapprobation
of his conduct upon this occasion by burning the effigy of
the Hon. Member at the Barton-street turnpike.—Bath
Journal.

MR. HEYWOOD.—The health of our new
county Member, Mr. HEYWOOD, has been considerably af-
fected by his attention to his Parliamentary duties. In-
deed, we understand that a very large proportio❑ of the
new Members of the House of Commons have been suffer.
ing seriously from the untimely hours which, night after
night, they have been obliged to keep during the protracted
discussions on the Reform Bill. 'We believe that this cir-
cumstance will in a great degree account for the falling off
in the Ministerial majorities.—Manchester Guardian.

One of the most respectable mercantile houses
in this city (Bristol) was yesterday informed by its cor-
respondents of the general failure of the corn crops in Italy.
The Viceroy of SARDINIA has in consequence declared the
opening of that port for the importation of grain duty free
until the 14th of October next. Several cargoes of wheat,
recently arrived in this port, are in consequence about to
be re-shipped.—Bristol Journal.

On Tuesday last a respite until the 6th of
August, of the sentence passed at our Assizes on LEWIS
Lewis (the huntsman) was received by the Under-Sheriff,
Mr: CUTHBERTSON, from Mr. Justice BOSANQUET, with
positive directions that the law should take its course on
Iticua an LEWIS, on Saturday, the 30th July.—Cambrian.

CHEAP TRAVELLING.—The proprietors of
the Sheffield, Gainshorough, and Louth mail, have adver-
tised their lares—" Inside what you please, outside ditto.
INCENDIARISM BY A CAT.—On Saturday
night last the house of a man named MIT, at Abingdon,
was set on fire, it is said, in consequence of a cat running
from ender a grate, with a red-hot cinder on her back, to
a bed, the clothes of which ignited, and occasioned the loss
of property, and nearly of life.

The particulars we gave in our last relative to
the disinterment (after a lapse of two years) of the body
of a man named Joint Hoors:a, who was murdered,
contained some errors. We find it was not at North-
ampton, but at Woolverliampton, that Mr. COOPER, the
Manchester travelling overseer, met with a journeyman
saddler, who told him—not that Iloorza had been mur-
dered near Bolton, but that he had heard he had been
murdered. At Burnley, however, he stated that HoorEit
had been murdered between Bolton and Manchester ; but
both at Burnley and Wolverhampton he evaded all in-
quiries made from him with a view to obtain more pir-
ticular information. The body was re-interred on Thurs-
day, and the funeral service read over it by the Hey. J.
JENKINS, minister of Trinity Church. Although the fact
of its being that of JOHN HOOPER is established almost
beyond a doubt, not a single step has been taken since
last week to elucidate the matter.-.. Manchester Guardian.
