L.4MBETH.

Frederick Collins, Michael Fenton, and John Murphy,
were again placed at the bar for further examination. on
a charge of burglariously breaking into the dwelling-
house of Mr. Weir, a draper in the London-road, and
stealing therefrom property to the amount of nearly 2001.
Sergeant Guff, 8 L, who at the recommendation of the
magistrate has taken up the case, for the purpose of
bringing it to maturity, requested another week's re-
mand, and this was ultimately granted.
George Hartley Green, a well-dressed young man, who
described himself as a merchant's clerk, was chargf-d
with having been guilty of the most beastly cruelty to a
cow.
Mr. NORTON observed that during the whole of his
experience as a magistrate a more abominable case had
not been brought under his cognizance. It was, in fact.
of such an unheard-of description that he could not find
in the hooks any enactment to reach the offence, or pu-
nidi it as it deserved. He (Mr. Norton) should take it,
therefore, as a case of cruelty to the animal, and fine
him the highest penalty, which was 405., but this would
not protect him from an action at law to the owner of the
cow.

CAPT. MARRTATT'S NEW NOVEL, " VALERIE."
This work is of an entirely different stamp to any of the
gallant author's previous productions, except that it is
told in the same characteristic, forcible, and felicitous
style. It purports to be the adventures of a young and
lovely girl, related by herself. The illusion of an auto-,
biography is admirably sustained, and the heroine's trials
and vicissitudes are portrayed with great skill and power.
The character of Valerie is beautifully and most truth-
fully developed. From the moment that we behold her
cast on the world, dependent for subsistence on her
_

Many of the men had been indulging
Woodhead tunnel, near Manchester, on the Sheffield
line of railway.
in heavy drinking arid dissipation for several days, and,
on their return to work, probably from want of proper
nourishment, and from drinking the water that flows
through the soil and rock, they were seized with dysen-
tery, which soon assumed the severe form of cholera,
and, before medical assistance could be procured, several
deaths occurred. The best professional aid that could
be had in Manchester was procured on Monday; but, up
to Tuesday, nine of the cases proved fatal, and further
deaths were expected. The appearance of the disease
had caused a panic among the rest of the workmen,
most of whom, several hundreds in number, had fled
trom the neighbourhood from fear of being involved in
the calamity. Colonel Humtrey, secretary of the rail.
way company, is now on the spot, attending, with meal-
cal men, to the various cases—upwards of twenty in
number. Woodhead is situated in an upland part of the
country, a short distance from Glossop, where the Duke
of Norfolk has extensive property. .It is, perhaps,
from its healthy situution, one of the last places in the
kingdom where cholera, or any epidemic, might have
beeu expected to appear... . .
