HOLKER HALL.—The Earl of Burlington and
his bereaved family, have arrived at Holker Hall, the favourite
seat of the Noble Earl and of his late lamented lady. This
seat has for some time back been undergoing considerable alter-
ations and improvements, and is in such a state as to admit of
the return of its noble owner, whose arrival took place on
Wednesday morning last. The Noble Earl Was accompanied
by his family as far as Lancaster, where the latter remained
all night and proceeded to Holker Hall on the following day.
The Earl intends, we hear, to make a long stay with his fa-
mi.)? at Holker, where he will reside in strict seclusion.—
Lancaster Guardian.

A BOY GORED BY AN Ox —On Tuesday
about noon, as a boy of the name of Samuel Staniforth and his
younger brother were observing some oxen which had been
landed from the New Holland Ferry-boat, and that were run-
ning at a furious rate along the Humber Dock Walls, they at-
tempted to escape, when one of the oxen ran at the boy Samuel
and gored him on the head in a shocking manner, so as to
cause a laceration of the scalp, upwards of eight inches in ex-
tent, laying a great part of the skull bare, and in some places
depriving it of the periosteum. He was immediately conveyed
to Dr. Buchanan, who, with his assistant, speedily got the
poor boy dressed and conveyed to his home, which, even in his
mangled state, was preferred by him to the superior accommoda-
tion of the Infirmary. It is but justice to add, that the owner of
the ox sent to the mother of the boy (a poor distressed widow ),
to assure her nothing should be wanting to assist in recovering
the unfortunate lad from his present dangerous situation.

SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCE.—On the morning
of Sunday, the 12th instant, the water in the Sankey Canal,
near St. Helen's, was observed to rush away wish great im-
petuosity, and without any apparent cause. In a very short
time the whole of the water was drained away from the line of
canal between the lock near the Union Company's glass-works,
and that near the Ravenhead glass-vvorks—near a mile in
length. The cause was at last found to be the giving way of
the bottom of the canal over an old coal-pit belonging to Messrs.
Clare and Haddock. A large gang of men have since been
actively engaged in repairing the damage, and in all proba-
bility the navigation will be opened again in the course of the
week.—Manchester Guardian.

TREASURY NOTES.—By an official statement
from the Treasury Department, published under date of the
Ist inst., it appears that the amount of our outstanding Trea-
sury notes, issued under the first three Acts of Congress on
that subject, is 324,633 dol. 30. And that of the Act of
3d March, 1840, there remain outstanding Treasury Post
Notes 2,129,676 dal. 36.—New York Paper.
We understand that interdicts have been granted
at the instance of Mr. Alexander, the patentee of the Theatre
Royal, prohibiting the performances of two persons named
Purvis and Miller. They are the managers of two small con-
cerns, on the Green, where horsemanship, ground and lofty
tumbling, and snatches of Msssaniello, Tekeli, &c. &c., were
done at the price of two-pence per head.— Glasgow Herald.
On Monday Sir F. Burdett sent a cheque for
fifty guineas towards the building fund for erecting a theatre for
lectures, &c., for the City of Westminster Literary, Scientific,
and Mechanics' Institution, the first stone of which building,
in Great Smith-street, is to be laid on Thursday next by the
Rev. H. Milman, the talented Rector of St. Margaret's.
SUSPECTED MURDER IN WALWORTII.—
AwFuL EFFECTS or INTOXICATION.—An occurrence which
has thrown the neighbourhood of Walworth into great excite-
ment, took place yesterday afternoon about five o'clock. A
man and his wife, named Armfield, have for some time kept a
small earthenware shop in East-lane, Walworth-road. They
have been long known as inveterate drunkards, and it was not
unusual for them to continue in a state of intoxication for weeks
together, shutting up their shop far a like period. Yesterday,
however, a Mrs. Swindlehurst, living in t:.e next house, had
some doubts as to the fate of the woman Armfield, whom she
had not seen or heard for many days, and whose shop was
closed a much longer period than usual—seven weeks. Mrs.
Swindlehurst spoke to policeman 263, P division, who entered
the second floor window, and d:scovered the man in bed in an
almost senseless state of intoxication, and the woman literally
naked, dead, and covered with bruises, lying upon the bare
boards. Armfield was taken into custody, and when partially
recovered from the effects of drink, in answer to a question as to
whether be knew of his wife's death, said " Yes," and added
flippantly. " That he supposed she died because she could not
live any longer." The wife of Armfield appears to have reached
the age of fifty. The Coroner's inquest takes place to-morrow.
INCENDIARISM.—During the night of Satur-
day, the 18th instant, a hayrick belonging to Mr. Edward
White, of Trudox-hill, near Frame, and which contained about
eight tons, was wilfully and malicioush, set on fire by some mis-
creant, and the whole nearly consumed, or so far damaged as to
be unfit for use. The vile motive of the incendiary was de-
feated, as Mr. White is inswed.--.Bdtli Journal.
