COUNTRY CORN MARKETS.

The extent to which the landed interests in the
neighbourhood of Inverness, Aberdeen, &c., have been bene-
fitted by the exportation of sheep and black cattle to England
is beyond conception. A letter lately received from an intel-
ligent farmer near Inverness, states that, although his farm is
not a very extensive one, he considers that it is worth at least
1001. a year more to him since conveyance by steam for the
cattle to the London market has been established. We have
no doubt that the landed proprietors in the West Highlands
will not be found deficient in the enterprise which has in so
remarkable a degree benefitted their brethren on the East
coast ; and that, before long, cattle steam-boats will be estab-
lished between their quarter and excellent markets of the
West of England.—Glasgow Herald.
HAND-LOOM WEAVERS.—The hand-loom wea-
vers of Bolton held a meeting at the Wheat Sheaf Inn, New-
port-street, on Monday last, on the subject of a manufacturer,
in the town, having again commenced charging his weavers
with the cost of sizing their warps. This impost, which ac-
cording to the number of hand-loom weavers in Bolton, would
cost them about 2,5001. a year has been for some tithe abolished.
Resolutions were entered into to take such legal measures, as
were in the power of the weavers, to prevent any manufacturer
from reviving the tax.—Manchester Times.
HONEST SANDON.—The Member for Runcorn
honest Sandnn, talked on Monday night when the reduction of
the Newspaper Tax was under consideration, and his say, as
far as it is intelligible, was against such reduction, and in
favour, instead thereof, of a diminution on soap. This is all
very natural. Honest Sandon, as we all know, belongs to that
class of modern pietists who love dearly to scour and make
bright the outside of the platter, but within are very much like
their progenitors, the scourers of eighteen hundred years ago.
Cheap soap, therefore, would have enabled the Tories to have
stood before the nation apparently with clean hands—a point
on which hitherto they have been remarkably deficient, as no
body knows and could tell better than RuLieorn's great M. P.,
if he chose to let out all the secrets which arc locked up in his
inward man.—Liverpool Chronicle.

On Saturday evening, a boy was torn and lace-
rated in a most shocking and dangerous manner by a New-
foundland dog, belonging to a gentleman named Pawles, re-
sident at Clapton. A servant was leading the dog by a chain
to the water, when he attacked the boy and wounded him in
the thigh, and was with some difficulty beaten off, but he had
then become so infuriated that the utmost strength of the ser-
vant could not restrain him. He broke away and flew at the
boy again, tore his arm and other parts in a dreadful manner,
and having got him down fastened upon him. The boy was
in imminent danger of being torn to pieces, and a person
struck the dog a violent blow on the head with a hammer,
which, however, had not the effect of making him relinquish
his hold. A butcher, who lives near and witnessed the occur-
rence, then went to the spot, and with his knife severed the
dog's head from the body, and thus released the boy from his
perilous situation. The bay was very seriously injured, but
Mr. Pawles, the owner of the dog, has taken care that he
should receive every requisite attention.
SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCE.—AiI inquest of no
interest, held on Saturday before Mr. Stirling, the'va,:rthy Co-
roner was asked by a surgeon if, when a person bad corn.lnited
suicide by shooting himself, or cutting his throat, it wouk' be
advisable to keep the body in the same posture and conditio,'
as it was found after the commission of the fatal act, until the
inquest sat to investigate the circumstances attending the
death. Mr. Stirling said that step would be proper in all
such cases, as a Jury could then more speedily determine whe-

ther the deceased died by his own hand. Of the folly of un-
dressing and laying out his body, under such circumstances, he
would instance one very remarkable case, and it would be seen
that a murderer would have escaped, had it not been for the
keen eye of one of the jury. Many years ago an elderly lady,
living in Clement's Inn, was found one • morning with her
throat cut, and quite dead, and from the evidence taken before
the Coroner, it appeared very evident that the unfortunate
woman had murdered herself. The Juiy had made up their
minds to return a verdict to that effect ; but, before coming to
their conclusion, they, as is customary, went to view the corpse.
Ali the Jury but one had performed that sad office, and be had
lingered behind, and when sent for to the jury-room, requested
the Coroner and other persons upon the investigation to come
to him. They did return, and what was the surprise of all to
lice that Juryman exclaim, " Some one has killed this wo-
man l" to convince them that such was the case, he held up
the deceasedfy hands, in which were firmly eraspe4 some red
Wit's, and lie she,7ed them the left arm of the poor old crca-
tare, 'there there were :.he marks of thumb and fingers visibly
imprinted en Ow flesh of the :aft hand. Of course, the Jury
knsw that the decrand could not prcgs her !eft hand upon her
left afin ; and these fitcis leading them to r; consider the
matter, they ultimately discovered that the deceased ana'.l been
murdered by her charwoman, who had red hair, and she sdOi
afterwards suffered for it at Newgate. Before her execution,
she said that she had a desperate struggle with the old lady,
who held tightly by her hair, before she succeeded in cutting
her throat. The Jury expressed much astonishment at the
CireutTmlanee, •

MR. OTONNELL.—The following foolish fabrica-
tion is retailed by the Berwick Advertiser, as a capital joke.—
" The tenacity with which young Henry sticks to the skirts of
his sire, reminds us of an anecdote told of another " bye blow" of
Dates in the neighbourhood of his estate in Ireland. The
great 0 was ?Ming along the road with a friend, when a curly-
headed little " sans culotte," taking his firelock between his
finger and thumb, ran along side the horse crying out " for a
thrifle to buy praties for his mammy and the childcr." " What's
your name ?" exclaimed „the Patriot. . " I/4n O'Connell l"
replied the urchin. " And who is your mother?" " Kitty
Kelly, your honour," exclaimed young Dan., " she lives
bcyant in the cabin there." Old Dan laughed—and throwing
him a fivepenny said, when he met him again he would give
him another. Young Dan with all the cunning of his fore-
fathers, thanked " his reverence,"—and watching him till he
turned the corner of a road leading to his house, he set off
across the fields, and by a short cut reached the upper part of
the road first, when popping out of the hedge, and again
making his salam, he remembered Dan of his promise to give
him another fippenny " when he Met him again." Dan
laughed heartily, and swearing by the favourite Saint, the
Piper of Bull Doyle, threw him the promised boon, and good-
humouredly observed, " if he had any doubt of his consan-
guinity before, that doubt was now removed, for he proved
himself an O'Connell all over."—[ What do those persons
prove themselves who bear false witness and relish
ribaldry ? There can be but little doubt of their consanguinity
with a certain satanic personage, known as the Father oiLies.]
Moulins in the Bourbodmis, in France, was, on
the 16th instant, visited by a storm (if hail so violent, that
branches of trees were cut off as with a hatchet, and other
equal damage done to the vegetation in the neighbourhood.
Au immense number of windows were broken, and several of
the fine I,ollto windows of the Cathedral suffered.
