of the ball upon my chest, and the percussion, for the moment,
took away my breath, but my hold upon the villain's throat was
unrelaxed. The gurgling of suffocation became audible to his
brutal companion,
" Ods sneckens 1' said the brute, but this ere murdered
man is throttling my Mister in his death-throe.'

We understand it is expected that the Liberator of
Ireland, Mr. O'Connell, and the Hon. and Rev. Mr. Spencer,
will be present at the entertainment given to the Prelates
and Clergy, after the consecration of the Cathedral of Tuam,
on the 18th inst. —Castlebar Telegraph.
We hear that Marshal Clausel has received notice
not to hasten his return to Africa from his country seat, where
he is now staying, as his military talents may be called for ie
another direction, where they may be still more useful to
France and Europe.—.Frenck Paper.
ROYALVICTORIATHEATRE.—The aboveTheatie,
which has been for some time closed in consequence of a legal
dispute, re-opened yesterday evening. During the period the
Theatre has been closed, it has been entirely re-decorated.
The only novelty produced last evening was a melo-drama
under the title of Benedetto Mangone, or the old Log-house.
To the lovers of the horrible this piece will afford a great
treat, but we do not think it is likely to have a great run, as
the public is sated with performances of this description. The
principal characters, Benedetto Mangone, a brigand chief, and
Agnes, his wife, were very well represented by Mr. Archer
and Mrs. Vining. The other entertainments were the farce
of the Time-Piece, and the melo-drama of the Warlock of Or
G!en. The house was well attended.

We beg to poidt the attention or our readers to an
address which will be found in another column, from the Li-
censed Victuallers who compose the deputations now in town,
from Liverpool, Birmingham, Leeds, and other important
cities and towns, to their brethren in London, respecting the
Bill now in the House of Lords, for the better regulation of
Inns, Ale- houses, &c. These gentlemen have been most
active and diligent in the execution of the mission entrusted:to
them, and their address deserves the best attention of the Li-
censed Victuallers of the Metropolis and its vicinity. The
clause objected to, and which will be found embodied in their
appeal, is certainly of a highly obnoxious character, inasmuch
as it confers great privileges upon the comparatively irrespon-
sible beer-shop-keeper, which are not allowed to the truly
responsible Licensed Victualler. The Bill, as a whole, beg;
we believe, but little chance of passing through the House 01
Lords ; but it is always well to be provided against even the
chance of evil ; and we recommend, in consequence, those
who think that
they will be aggrieved, and their interests CO
its by passing into a law, to be up and doing while
there remains a chance of upsetting it.—Morning Advertiser.
A striking instance of the profligacy of the Tory
Press in all matters with which the name of Mr. O'Connell
is connected, has just been exhibited in an Orange newspaper
published in Dublin. At one of the recent meetings of the
General Association, Mr. O'Connell was urging on
countrymen the necessity of attending to the registries, el,
order to increase the number of Liberal Members for Ireland
at the next general election ; and in his own fashion said, that
any man who neglected to register, and to support Reformers
at the hustings, would be spit upon by the women, and would
get no wife, if single, unless, perhaps, he were to select
spouse from among " the oldest and the ugliest women in the
parish." In Saunders's News-Letter—an Orange paper--.
this passage of Mr. O'Connell's speech is thus reported
" Unless, indeed, as a punishment, he (the negligent or
renegade elector) were condemned to marry the Scotch
and English women of the parish." The malignant pur-
pose for which this gross perversion of Mr. O'Connell s
words was published by the Orange journal will at once bet,
perceived, when the use lately made by the Tory press of
another infamous misreport of a speech spoken by Mr. O'Con-
nell some fourteen years ago is recollected. As it is, we
should not be in the least surprised to see the columns of the
Times and of the Standard groaning in a week hence With
invective against Mr. O'Connell for this new-fangled sneer at
the women of England, even though the reporter of the
Orange journal has openly admitted the misreport. That the
reporter is blameless we are fully persuaded ; but we are by
no means prepared to saddle the printer with the malicious
mistake. How could such a mistake accidentally occur?
There is no analogy either in sound, sense, or s.pelling between
the " oldest and ugliest women" spoken of by Mr. O'Connell,
and Ono " Scotch and English women" printed by the Orange
newspaper. The misreport was suited to a particular pur-
pose, and we repeat, with a Duke Illustrious not by courtesy'
there could be no mistake.—Morning Paper.
MYSTERIOUS OCCURRENCE.—Yesterday
morn-
ing, about half-past four o'clock, as a policeman of the '
division was walking his beat, on the banks of the Paddington,
Canal, near the second bridge from London, on the Harrow-
road, he discovered something floating on the water, near the
north shore, which he found, on approaching nearer to it, t°
be the body of a man, without either coat, waistcoat, or hat'
The body was dragged on shore, and found to be that of a man,
apparently of respectability, about 62 years of age, stoutly
formed, with a fine full face, very white hair, distributed in
small quantities on the hinder part of the head. His shirt,
and other portions of his dress which remained upon him,
were of the best quality, but unmrked, and not a single memo',
randum was found upon him by which it could be discovered
who or what he was. The body was conveyed to the work-
house at Paddington, to await the Coroner's inquest. It i.!
rather a remarkable circumstance, that although the most rig
inquiry was made along the banks of the Canal, no intelli-
gence could be heard of any coat and waistcoat, or rather ap-
parel, being found in the neighbourhood. There were glair/
marks of violence on the body.
EXTENSIVE FIRE AT WAKEFIELD, Y°l3l'
SHIRE.—Last Thursday evening, between nine and ten o'cloe
i
an alarming fire broke out in the drug warehouses of 1!,r1;
Dawson, in Mew-street, the flames from which spread Wing
great rapidity, and an incalculable loss of property it
e
feared would be the result. The bells of the town spread t
bd
alarming intelligence, and shortly after the Pheenix, Sun, an
Yorkshire Fire Office engines were on the spot with a stroibeus,
force of firemen, and by their unremitted attention and !Lo,
ou.s exertions, aided by an excellent supply of water they
tamed for their immediate use, the damage, though exten9l
in amount, was fortunately confined to the lower part of ,"
building. The smoke arising from the burning drugs 1).1:d
duced almost suffocation to the persons assisting in arreat.7e
the progress of the flames, and forced many of the immed,l3o
inhabitants of the neighbourhood to retire some distance is
their own homes till the following day. A few slight accideno
occurred during the confusion, occasioned by the fire, but 11°4
to any dangerous extent. The property consumed is insure
The warehouses have been closed for some months, and Dv
the fire originated it is impossible to conjecture.
