Whenever a vacancy shall take place for the Par-
liamentary representation of Peterborough, Mr. W. E. Sur-
tees, nephew of Lord Eldon, will offer himself as a candidate
on the Conservative interest.—Aforning Paper.

On Tuesday night a free pardon► was received by
the Chester city authorities for William Roberts, Henry
Clarke, and Edward Richards, who were convicted at the
spring city sessions for offences connected with the tailor
riots, and sentenced respectively to 12 months' imprisonment.
The terms for which other tailors were imprisoned have all
expired.-11faccicsfidd Courier.

On Saturday last, as Ann Nicholson, a young
woman employed in the mill of Messrs. William Bayley and
Brothers, of Dukinfield, was standing by the side of an upright
shaft, with her back against it, the casing fell down, when her
clothes were instantly drawn round the shaft, and before she
could be extricated, having been carried round it many times,
she was so severely crushed as to expire instantly.—Maccles-
field Couricr.

On Friday last, Edmund Galley, alias Turpin,
whose extraordinary case has since the last Assizes occasioned
so much investigation, and excited an extraordinary degree of
interest, was removed from Exeter in the custody of Mr. Cole,
governor of the county gaol of Devon, to Newgate. It will
be recollected that he was sentenced to death with another
man convicted for murder, bat his fellow prisoner declared in
the most solemn manner that Galley was not concerned in the
murder.

On Wednesday, the 7th instant, as two labourers
were quarrying stones in the parish of Stogursey, near
Bridgewater, they discovered some human bones, apparently
of a young person, laid on a bed of rock, about fourteen
inches below the surface of the ground. When the fact be-
came known it was generally reported that, about thirty years
ago, a boy named Binding, who had been apprenticed to a
farmer in that parish, suddenly disappeared, after having met
with an accident to one of his master's horses, and that the
master had threatened to punish the boy. In consequence of
these reports the magistrates determined that an inquest
should be held, when sixteen witnesses were examined. There
were fractures in the skull, evidently made at a remote time,
and which left no doubt that the body had been murdered ;
but there was no possibility of identifying the remains as those
of the boy alluded to, nor was there any evidence by which a
charge against any particular individual could be substantiated.
The jury returned a verdict of " Wilful Murder against some
person or persons unknown."—Bath Journal.

A few days since a pleasure party took a boat at
Portreath, and proceeded to the Gull-rock, where they kindled
a fire for culinary purposes, and enjoyed themselves on the
rock throughout the day. On taking their departure in the
evening, they neglected to extinguish the embers, which being
fanned by the breezes of the night, revived and spread over a
part of the rock, consuming the verdure which grew thereon.
It continued to burn for two days and nights, and its nocturnal
appearance was peculiarly interesting, as it looked like a vol-
cano in miniature rising out of the ocean, and no doubt it
created a great deal of surprise in those who witnessed it while
passing either up or down the Channel.—Cornwall Gazette.
THE LATE GREAT FIRE.—In digging UP the
ruins of Fennings's Wharf, amid the wrecks made by the late
frightful conflagration, the firemen last week came to a num-
ber of casks of a white substance, which on inquiry, was ascer-
tained to be arsenic. The casks in which it was contained
were half destroyed, but the exterior surface of this, dly me-
tallic poison having become hardened into a solidde coat by
the heat, scarcely any of it got spread about, and the the
firemen busily employed themselves in shifting contents
into new casks procured for the per The men, thought_

AN OLD AIR.--Anlike that
old romantic air, tnat of
" Portrait Charmant," h
com-
monness, a more powerful as sometimes, from its very com-
ul effect than the finest song out of
the " Puritani." With the former we arc so familiar ; in our
happy hours we have so despised it, as that eternal thing; in
our busy moments we have so contemned the tiresome organ -
boy -t
boy with his one tune ; and as we have driven along, and '
the turn of a street have caught the weary notes of an organ,
one has said, " How sick I' am of that old French air !" and
then we have pursued our way, and forgiven and forgotten the
antiquated romance. But in the time of sorrow, of inactive
sorrow _.then if such an air as " Portrait Charmant" be
heard mingling with the vulgar street sounds, it will strike
you as it never did before, and, in listening to the notes, you
find it is, somehow, taking a gentle revenge for all the con-
tumely you have cast upon its hacknied sound in days gone by.

The Laird then went out to get some cigars, and as
he did not return, the other prisoner went to look after
him, but neither returned. Witness was surprised, but not
suspicious of anything wrong, as the Laird had paid for the
repast.—(A laugh.) When he had occasion for a sovereign
he opened the paper, and found it to contain a quantity of
half-pence.
A waiter, at Fendall's Hotel, Old Palace-yard, proved
that about five weeks ago the prosecutor and the two pri-
soners came there and dined off a steak, with which they
had a bottle of wine. The prisoners left the old gentle-
man, who after a time went away without making any com-
plaint. Is quite certain as to the identity of the prisoners.
The COMMON SERGEANT summed up, and the Jury
pronounced both prisoners guilty.
The COMMON SERGEANT—We have no power by law
to transport you for more than seven years, and I am ex-
tremely sorry for it.
Upon hearing this announcement the countenances of
the prisoners brightened up and they left the bar laughing.
They are well known to the police, and are said to be
adepts at the " thimble-rig."
