be imposed upon; that, on the contrary, she was par-
ticularly sharp in all maturs relating to money, and that
she had for a long time been carrying on the busincsi
of a hay and corn dealer, and had also boon in the
habit of discounting bills ; th,t the coolne,.s which
existed between the plaintiff and defendants had :Iris( n
from the plaii:tiff's refusal to continue paying the in-
stalments under the warrant of attorney, ai.d that the
transaction was perfectly fair on the part of the de-
fendants.

On the cause coming on for hearing bc-fore this branc'.
of the Court, and at the conclusion of the arguments It's
Honour took time to consider his judgment.
The COURT this morning gate judgment, and his
Honour, after going at considerable length into the facts
of the case, stated that there were two points upon
which the case rested. The first was, whether the re-
presentations made by the defendant to the phintiff
were false, and if so, whether they were of such a nature
as to entitle her to the relief she asked. His Honour
cculd not think, as had been argued at the Bar, that the
plaintiff did not know what she was about at the time
she executed the warrant of attorney, or that the :ale
was colourable, or that the plaintiff was ignorant f the
instrumt nt she signed. From the evidence, it <<as clear
that she knew what she was doing when the signed the
a arrant of attorney. There was, however, much
in the case that afforded strong suspicion of
tie Muth of many of the charges made by
the plaintiff, the evidence on behalf of the plain-
tiff was strong, but not sufficiently so for hi:n t i act upon
it. His Honour felt sorry that he could not at the hear-
ing or the cause give the plaintiff the decree she asked.
All that he could do was to give her an apportunity o!
establishing her rights by an action at law. There might
be some difficulty in this from the delay that ha! taken
place, but what his Honour wished wai, that a court of
law should decide what the rights of the plaintiff were
at the time of the filing of her bill. He thought, such
bring his opinion, the best course would be to let the
case stand over for a few days, in order to give the p!ain-
tiff an opportunity of c nsulting with some gentleman at
the Common Law bar as to the course she should pursu..

EN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco.)
SLANDER.-GORDON V. SLADE.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a cook,
who had been formerly in the service of the defendant,
to recover compensation i❑ damages for alleged slander.
When she left the defendant's service she received a
good character from Mrs. Slade, on the strength of which
she entered the service of a Mrs. Malcolmson. Subse-
quently that lady had occasion to inquire of Mrs. Slade
respecting the character of a servant named Pearce, who
had also been in the service of the last-named lady, and
in reply she stated that inquiries of the kind were very
necessary as she had formerly been imposed upon. It
appeared that whilst the plaintiff was i❑ Mrs. Slade's
service stray legs of mutton had been missed, which it
was supposed were generously presented by the plaintiff
to her fellow-servants, the groom and coachman. Mrs.
Malcolinson called upon Mrs. Slade for an explanation of
the ambiguous phraseology of her note. In the conver-
sation that ensued Mrs. Slade imputed dishonesty to the
plaintiff. In consequence of this she was discharged.
The case was tried before Mr. Justice Wightman in this
court, and the jury found for the plaintiff, 40s. damages.
Mr. CROWDER now moved for a rule calling upon the
plaintiff to show cause why the verdict should not be set
aside and a nonsuit entered by leave of the Learned
Judge, and also why judgment should not be arrested,
on the ground that there was an entire absence of malice,
and that a person under such circumstances could not be
punished, in damages, for stating the truth in giving a
character to a servant. If persons were to be punished
for speaking the truth, servants of the worst repute might
find their way with impunity into our dwellings.
The Court granted a rule.
THE MIDLAND UNION RAILWAY.—BAILEY V. HAYNES.
This case was tried at the last sittings at Guildhall,
before Lord Denman. It was an action brought by the
plaintiffs, the well-known advertising agents, to recover
from the defendant the sum of 1,052/. for advertising,
stationary, printing, &c., supplied to the company in
question. The defendant was one of the committee.
The jury found for the plaintiffs for the full amount
claimed.

Mr. HUMFRET now moved for a rule calling upon the
plaintiffs to show cause why the verdict should not be set
aside and a new trial had, on the ground of misdirection.
The railway in question came into existence in the June
of 1845, and expired with the panic of October in the
same year. It was proved at the trial, by the evidence
of the secretary, Mr. Knight, that the defendant did not
take any part in the undertaking until the 17th of Oct.
Now, but 407/. of the amount claimed was incurred
sifter the 17th of October, and it appeared manifestly
unjust that the defendant should be held responsible for
the liabilities of the company in this respect, when there
was no evidence to show that he had held himself out as
a director or as a responsible person, before the 17th.
It was shown that after the panic the de-
fendant busied himself with the other directors
in endeavouring to provide funds to meet all the claims
of the company, in order to accomplish which be and
others paid down 160/. each. It was a remarkable fact
that the plaintiff had tried two cases of the same nature
us this in the provinces ; one was tried before the Lord
Chi( f Justice of the Queen's Bench, and the other before
the Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas. Both de-

livered equally strong opinions upon the law, but strangely
enough they as strangely and widely differed.—(Lough
ter.) After he had addressed the jury, and the Chief
Justice had summed up and directed them, they asked
when the defendent's name first appeared in the prospec-
tus? His Lordship handed them one dated the month of
July, on examining which the jury turned round and
found for the plaintiffs for the full amount, stating at tt.e
same time that they did so independently the pro-
spectus. Now, the prospectus was not in evidence, a..d
could not properly have been used. Unfortunately.
these railway cases were drawing to a close—(Laughter)
—but if it had been otherwi►e, atd the eases had been
decided as this case appeared to have been, thousands of
pounds might have been saved.

Lord DENMAN referred to his notes of the trial, and
said the prospectus appeared to have been in evidence,
since he found that Mr. Whitehurst, who was on the
other side, frequently alluded to it.

Mr. IIUMFREY apprehended that it was not in evi-
dence, and could not have been. The misdirection of
his Lordship, be submitted, consisted in his putting the
case too strongly to the jury, without explaining clearly
what made the defendant liable or not liable from the
beginning. He asked the jury, upon the %hole case, if
they thought the defendant had admitted his liability.
It was true his Lordship told them that if they drew a
limit at all, the 17th of October must be the time; but
he omitted to tell them what were the ingredients
necessary to fix him with liability from the be-
ginning. In such a case a man could not be held
responsible, unless he had said in express terms that he

(Sittings in Banco.)
VAN CASTEEL V. BOOKER.

This case, which has been before the Court on a pre-
vious occasion, and reported at considerable length, was
in trover, and was brought to recover the value of a
cargo of coffee which bad been brought by a ship called
the Vigilant, from Bahia to Liverpool. A fraudulent
preference was alleged with reference to the consign-
ment of the cargo. It was tried twice on the last occa-
sion before Mr. Justice Erle at Liverpool, when a ver-
dict was found for the defendant.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL applied for a rule to show
cause why a new trial should not be had on the ground
of the reception of improper evidence.
The COURT took time to consider the application.

SECONDARIES'.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Secondary JAMES.)
WEARE AND ♦NOTHER V. COOPER.-A CHURCHWARDEN
IN DEFAULT.
The plaintiffs in this action are the churchwardens of
the parish of St. John, Southwark, and they claimed the
sum of 162/. 16s. 3d., the balance of an account of fees
received by defendant as churchwarden, and which he
had appropriated to his own use.
Mr. Shee the vestry clerk, was called, and proved that
the defendant was churchwarden in 1846 and 1847, and
on the audit of accounts a balance was found to be due to
the parish of 2221. 16s. 3d., but the defendant had since
paid 601. on account, leaving a balance of 162/. 16s. 3d.
now claimed. Time had been offered' to defendant to
pa),, but he would not agree to the terms.
The defendant allowed judgment to go by default, and
The jury gave a verdict for 162 L 16s. 3d.
This was the only case.

MARLBRO' STREET-(THIS DAY.)
James Davis, a journeyman bootmaker, was brought
before Mr. Bingham, charged with being drunk, and
assaulting police-constable Martin, C 49.
Complainant said, on the previous night, about nine
o'clock, he was on duty in Compton-street, when he saw
the prisoner knock down his wite. The latter screamed
out " murder" and " police," and witness ran to her assist-
ance, and asked the prisoner why he struck the woman?
The prisoner replied " that she was his wife, and he had
a right to do as he liked." He was about proceeding to
further violence when witness took him into custody.
On the way to the station the prisoner struck him in the
face, and was so violent that the assistance of another
constable was obliged to be procured before the prisoner
could be locked up.

The prisoner said he was very drunk, end could net
recollect a single circumstance of the preceding night.
Mr. BINGHAM fined him 10s., and in detault com-
mitted him for seven days.

TIIE HALSTEAD MIIRDER.--On Monday last, the
body of the female lately murdered in this neighbour-
hood was disinterred, in the presence of the police autho-
rities and the clergyman of the district. A number of
persons gave evidence, which went to prove the identity
of the murdered woman, on the wearing apparel in ae
possession of the police being produced, the witnesses
swearing to having seen certain articles of the apparel
worn by the deceased. A man named Dean, who stated
that he had cohabited with the deceased, identified the
body. The woman's name was Margaret Thompson. A
reward of 50/. has been offered for the apprehension of
the murderers. Great excitement pervades the neigh-
bourhood.

PRESENTATION.--A handsome sword of consi-
derable value has been presented to Inspector Waller
by the inhabitants of Bethnal-green, for his energetic
exertions in suppressing the Chartist riots on the 4th
of June.

CAPTURE OF VIENNA.
TO THE EDITOR OF TBE SUN.

SlB,—Your generous and just observations on the
dreadful events passing at Vienna do you honour. The
position taken up by several of your contemporaries in
regard to the Austrian revolution is in the last degree
disgraceful to the press of a " free country." The
language of some of these journals is positively re-
volting. God grant that the heroic capital of the
Austrian empire may still be delivered from the
hands of the miserable and perfidious Cretan who,
according ,to one of these writers, " will have to
mourn with a father's love the sad scenes of desolation
and woe inflicted by his own rebellious subjects !"
One of the most prominent of your brother journal-
ists, as usual, writing for all the wort prejudices of
the national character, and seeking to reconcile our
baser instincts of self interest in preserving the
statu quo with the higher principles of national
policy, buries the sacred rights for which the poop),
of Vienna are so heroically contending under a
load of misrepresentation r—" the pople of England
must not confound, forsooth, the drsierute struggle
of the citizens of Vienna with our own glorious Revo-
ltrion of 1688 !" And why not ? Is it because, in
the former case, the Austrian people have risen en
masse against the degrading and infamous despotism
which has so long enslaved them ; while in the latter
the principal actors were an oligarchical clique, who
for their own selfish interests expelled, with the
basest ingratitude, the unhappy Sovereign who had
loaded them with his favours ? But history will do jus-
tice to the heroic people of Vienna. No matter how
this bloody struggle may for the present terminate ;
it already records the glorious defence of Vienna
against the Turks ; in a page as bright it will em-
blazon the noble deeds and the sufferings of the
Viennese when besieged by still more ruthless ene•
mies, the barbarous hordes and mercenaries of their
degraded Sovereign. His infamy is indeed complete,
and, as you predict, the day of retribution will as-
suredly come! From one who has given some atten-
tion to the policy of Austria, and has found it every-
w here ;the same, Machiavellian and infamous, perhaps
you will think these observations worthy a place in
your able and consistent journal. •
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
A LOVER OF FREEDOM.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

We have heard from good authority, although no
official intimation has yet been made of the fact to the
Admiralty by the Commander-in-chief at Portsmouth,
that Sir Bladen Capel has determined to nominate his
old flag-lieutenant, Capt. the Hon. James Robert Drum-
mond (1846), to succeed Capt. Charles Eden as his flag-
captain. This gallant officer is the second son of
Viscount Stratballan, and last commanded the Scout,
sloop.
Capt. Henry Eden, nominated to succeed Commodore
Sir J. Gordon Bremer, K.C.8., K.C.H., as superintend-
ent of Woolwich Dockyard, paid a visit to the gallant
officer at that establishment yesterday.
Commander Hugh Geoid (1830), who it will be re-
membered was obliged to give up his appointment at
Portsmouth ordinary in consequence of the severe and
dangerous injuries he received from falling into the hold
of the ordinary flagship, has had a pension of 1001. per
annum conferred upon him. This gallant officer is a
lieutenant of 1808, and bas seen much distinguished ser-
vice. In 1810, when employed in the flotilla at the siege
of Cadiz, he sustained a severe hurt, for which, however,
he received no pension.
The Orestes, 14, Commander Hawker, fitting along-
side the jetty, is to have the following armament, in-
stead of 18 guns (as in her last commission) of light
metal --12 long 32-pounders of 25cwt. each, and two 32-
pounders of 39 owt. each. She is fitting rapidly, as is
the Reynard, which the present fine weather greatly
facilitates.

The Sharpshooter iron steam-schooner, Lieutenant-
! Commander Bailey, has reported more defects, which, it
is alleged, will require 20 days' attention from the engi-
neers and shipwrights of the dockyard. This vessel
seems troubled with the Atnphion's complaint. She has
been altering, refitting, and re fitting ever since she was
commissioned, In March last, and has never Leen to sea
without breaking down herself, or some other ship
during that time.

The Netley, tender to the flag-ship at Plymouth,
which has been recently reported to be lost, having been
mistaken for an Ordnance boy of tho same name, ar
rived here to-day with men for the Daphne, IS, Captain
E. G. Fanahawe, fitting at Sheerness. These were im-
mediatrly forwarded by railway, together with such as
had been entered at this port. The Netley sailed again
for Devonport this afternoon.

I power of 6,748 horses ; and mounting 125 guns ; 2
screw schooners, whose joint power is 120 horses, and
mounting 20 guns ; steam-guard-ships, classed as fourth
I rates, 3,800 horse-power ; grand total, 420 vessels,
Imounting 15,026 guns. Of this force 104 are

; 36,180 horses. This return does not include the mail
flotilla of Dover, Holyhead, Liverpool, other stations, &c.
The Plumper steam-vessel, of 60 horse-screw power,
will be commissioned to-day, at Portsmouth, for foreign
service. Commander Nolloth was appointed to her on
Monday. She will have 110 men and officers.
SIR CHARLES NAPIER'S SQUADRON.—The following
ships and vessels are at Spithead:—The St. Vincent, 120
guns (flag-ship of Sir Charles Napier), Captain S. C.
Dacres; the Prince Regent, 92, Captain W. F. Martin:
these are both reported to be ready for sea, although the
Admiral has not re mounted his upper-deck guns; the
Powerful, 84, Captain the Hon. Robert Dundas, C. 13.,
entering men to make up 750, of which number she
needs about 80; the Driver, steam-sloop, Commander R.
C. Johnson, are awaiting orders, ready for sea: the
' Sharpshooter, iron schooner, Lieutenant Bailey, R.N.,
commanding. The Driver is not under Sir C. Napier's
orders. The Reynard, steam-schooner, is refitting in the
basin at Portsmouth, to join Sir Charles; the Rifleman,
steam-schooner, is also refitting at the same yard, to
join the same squadron; and it is expected the Tenzer,
at Woolwich, the Daphne, fitting out at Chatham; the
Orestes, fitting at Portsmouth, also the Plumper at the
same port, and the Amazon corvette, at Plymouth, will
be sent atter Sir Charles, to have a trial of sailing under
his orders. The St. Vincent, Prince Regent, Powerful,

Colonisation Society a portion of the information that

out the manuf!letw-ing and agricultural districts on the

If n. F. Scott, M.P., Mark and Lennox Boyd, Esqs., and
C. 1). Logan, Eiq. The speakers were the Mayor
Mr. Scott, Mr. Logan, Mr. Mark Boyd, Mr. Lennox

DETERMINED SUICIDE.—Yesterday afternoon, a
considerable degree of excitement pre veiled in the neigh-
bourhood of Leicester-square, coes«itieece of a re-
port that a geetleman had 01,4 hires -P at Green's
Shooting Gala ry. triou the reporter inquiring at the
last-named place he font d that the rum( a was too true.
From the information that the reporter gained, it up-
pears that the name ( f the deceased is Macdonough,
brother to the celebrated j(eikey cf that name. About
four o'clock yesterday atter' oen the dee( aced entered the
above shooting gallery, and asked fur two piste is to be
loath d fur him, as he wish( d to have e couiee of shots.
The person in ale:re:mice loaded :he pe-e.uls, and
hand( d them to the el( coast d, but he had hardly turned
his back w hen be heard the report of a eistol,
net hearing the ball strike the target he looked round,
and was h ,reified at seeing the deceased lying on the
floor weltering in his blooi. The attendant immediately
ran to the deceased, and on lifting him up found that he
had shot himself through the head with one of the pis-
tols. The other was not discharged. Information of
the occurrence was sent to the police station in Vine-
street, and the inspector on duty proceeded to the spot,
and on searching the pockets of deceased, discovered
that he lodged at Lambeth-terrace. A messenger was
dispatched to the latter place to acquaint the deceased's
relatives of the melancholy occurrence. Pecuniary em-
barrassment is stated to be the cause of deceased's com-
mitting the rash act.
PRINTERS' PENSION SOCIETY.—Last night a
general meeting of the committee and subscribers to this
society, which was established in 1827, fur the bene-
volent purpose of relieving aged and infirm printers
and their widows, by granting pensions of twelve
guineas per annum to the men, and eight guineas to
the women, was held at the London Tavern, Bishops-
gate-street. Mr. Henry Fley, of Bangor House, in the.
chair. The report for the past year was of a very satis-
factory character; although at the close of the last elec-
tion there were fifty-five pensioners on the funds, five
beyond the original number contemplated, the annual
subscriptions had been more than sufficient to meet the
expenditure. His Royal Highness Prince Albert, on
being requested to become patron of the society, readily
consented, accompanying his consent with a donation of
251., and the subscription of Mr. Luke James Hansard,
since the institution of the society, amounted to 1801.
A further addition of 4301. 6s. 10d. had, in the
last year, been made to the funded property of the
society, making the total amount of the funded property
5,0141. 41. 6d. The number of pensioners on the funds,
including the Whittingham pensioner, is 52, and since
the formation of the society upwards of 150 aged and
infirm members of the trade have been rescued from in-
digence by being placed on the permanent list of pen-
sioners. The total amount of the receipts for the last
year, from all sources, was 1,3781. ss. 9d.; and the
expenditure less that amount 1171. 12s. 9d. balance in
hand.

EXTENSION OF TIME FOR MAKING RAILWAYS.--•-,
I The Gazette of last night contains the formal certificate
of the Railway Commissioners, in favour of the Corn-
wall Railway, and of the Delabole and Rock Railway,
for an extension of time in carrying out their works.
By an Act passed last session, entitled, " An Act to
give further time fur making certain railways," this
important power is conferred on the Commissioners, and
the specific object of the Act is to relieve the pressure
on the money market, occasioned by calls on the railway
shares, and likewise to put the railway companies in
possession of a more expeditious and less expensive
mode of proceeding than is involved in a direct applica-
tion to Parliament. A large number of railway com-
panies have availed themselves of this relief. 125 ap-
plications have been received and coniidered. Of these
121 have been entertained, and in most cases the appli-
cations for the extension of time asked for has been
granted for the full additional term of two years allowed
by the Act. Four applications were refused, on the
ground that there were special provisions in the Act
making the completion of the railway compulsory.
PROTECTION OF TRADE.—A meeting of the Lon-
don Association for the Protection of Trade, was held
last evening in Exeter-Hall, Mr. G. Cotton in the chair,
to protest against the recent conduct of the managing
committee of that body, in taking steps to effect the
amalgamation of the Association with the City of Lon-
don Trade Protection Scciety. The London Associa-
tion consists of 2,000 subscribers, and was established,
as stated by the chairman, for the protection of trade
by the detection of impostors endeavouring to obtain
goods on false pretences, for the collection of bad
debts, and for securing the advice of a paid solicitor
on matters of basiness. It appears that the manag-
ing committee have lately voted its amalgamation
with the City of London Society, without ob-
taining the concurreece of a general meting of the
subscribers, and without having given any notice of
their intention to their constituents, and that th, y have
further discharged the officers of the association and
closed its premises. The conduct of the committee was
condensni d in strong terms by Messrs. Owen Sedgwielt,
Green, Hill, and other speakers, as surreptitious, and a
violation of public duty, and resolutions to that effect
were adopted.
Three days ego Viscount Oliver d'Archiac, son-in-
law of Marshal Gerard, lost his life by the following
accident:—Being out shooting near Beaune, I.e was
giving his dogs some bread, when, in their slrug4les for
the morsels, one of them touched the tfiggs r of his
fowling• piece and let it off, lodging the charge in his head.
ALLEGED RAPE AND MURDER.—Yesterday an
inquest was held in St. George's-in-the-East on the body
of Catherine Linsdale, aged ten years, who died, it is
supposed, from the effects of a potion, given her by a
sailor, or in consequence of the violation of her person,
which had followed the administration of the drug. The
inquest was adjourned in order that the precise cause of
death might be ascertained by a post mortem examina-
tion. The monster who thus ill-treated the poor girl is
at present unknown.
SALE OF THE QUADRANT COLONADE.—Yesterday
the finishing stroke to the work of Nash was given by
the disposal of the columns forming the colonade of the
Regent-street Quadrant by public auction. The sale
took place at the Cafe de Paris, Vine-street, and excited
considerable interest, the room being crowded by archi-
tects, surveyors, builders, and a large number of the in.
habitants of Regent street. Messrs. Eversfield and
Horne were the auctioneers. The auctioneer having
read the conditions of sale, said that, with reference to
the fourth, requesting the buyer to clear the lots within
twelve days utter the sale, it might cccur that the columns
would not be in a condition to be removed so soon.
When that happened parties wou'd receive notice, and
in three days alter such notice they would be compelled
to clear the lots. The columns were divided into lots
(of four, six, and two each) for the convenience of pur-
chasers, and on the first lot being put up, consisting of
six columns, the auctioneer stated that each column
weighed 35 cwt., and cost the sum of 351. in putting up.
The first offer for each column was 1/. 10s. Eventually
the six columns in this lot sold for 7Z los. each, exclu-
sive of the granite plinths, which were sold separately..
The other columns, forming the twenty-nine lots, fetched
sums averaging from 61. ss. to 71. 10s. each. The entire
number of columns sold yesterday were 144, out of the
270 forming the colonade, and the sum they realized
in the aggregate was upwards of 1,000/. The granite
plinths upon which the columns stand were next sold.
'They were lotted in a similar manner to the columns,
and fetched from 1/. 2s. to 11. 4s. each. The names of
the purchasers could not be ascertained, but it was un-
derstood that the principal portion was purchased for

COVErTRY,
mthAeFLEIEGaFT or LONDON, FOR 1001.—This long-talked of
affair was brought to a termination yesterday, near An-
dover, when Gill, at the end of seventy-four rounds,
which occupied two hours and thirty-nine minutes, was
declared the winner.
DEATH OF THE DOWAGER LADY FEVERSHAM..-...
In our obituary of yesterday we briefly recorded the de-
mise of this lady, who expired on Sunday last, after an
illness of three months' duration. Her Ladyship was
the second daughter of the first Earl of Dartmouth, and
was born in 1774. She was the mother of the present
Lord Feversham, the Honourable Captain Duncombe,
M.P., the Honourable Octavius Duncombe, M.P., and
eight other children.

ABOLITION OF CHRISTMAS BOX.FB.—Last, night, a
meeting of deputations of tradesmen of all trades from
St. Luke's, Islington, Mile-end, St. Pancras, Clare-
market, Southwark, &c., representing several associa-
tions in those neighbourhoods, was held at the London
Coffee-house, Snow-hill, " for the purpose of affording
tradesmen, in all parts of the metropolis, time and op-
portunity for uniting firmly in suppressing the custom at
the ensuing Christmas, and to adopt measures to carry
that object into effect." A long conversation took place as
to the best plan to be pursued, when a resolution was
agreed to unanimously, " that the custom of giving
Christmas boxes is unjust in principle, injurious in prac-
tice, and entails such a heavy tax upon tradesmen that it
ought to be abolished."

SHEEP STEALING IN SURREY.—We are sorry to
hear that the crime of sheep stealing is greatly inereas-
nag in this county. Within the lust few days fifteen
sheep have been stolen from different flocks in the pa-
rishes of Leatherhead, Cobham, Walton, &c. So daring
are the thieves, that the skins have been found quite
warm within a short distance of the proprietors' dwel-
ling. The police have such information given them as
is likely to lead to the detection of the guilty party.
SINGULAR FATALITY.-011 Friday an inquest was
held on the body of Thomas Hutchinson, who died at
the Leeds Infirmary on Wednesday last. The deceased,
who was only twenty three years of age, followed the
occupation of a shepherd, and on the 23d of September,
in dressing the feet of a sheep, he had occasion to use a
knife, and during the operation the animal made a start,
and came in such violent contact with the instrument
that the blade was plunged into his left thigh, pene-
trating the femoral artery. On the 14th of October the
deceased was removed to the Infirmary, where he re-
mained till his death. Verdict accordingly. Leeds
Mercwy.
FALL of AN AVALANCEIE.—News from Lucerne
announces the destruction of the diligence of Mont St.
Gothard by an avalanche. One of the passengers lost
his life,
