RICK BURNING IN WILTSHIRE.

The Divisional Sessions Court at Marlborough was
rowded on Saturday to hear a charge against Mr. Isaac
Salter, a respectably-connected farmer, formerly of
&vebury, of setting fire to three ricks, valued at £5OO
:he property of Mr. Roger Spackman, of Kennett, on the
nth of January. A prima facie case was made out against
the prisoner, and he was committed to the Assizes, bail
oeing refusod.

The Mart Eapress says that the thing now
most feared by farmers is the excessive wet.

The death is announced of Mrs. George Muller; of
Bristol, the wife of the well-known philanthropist.

It is stated that Mr. Scudamore, for his ability and
exertions in organising the Government telegraph arrange-
ments, is to have a baronetcy.

The body of a female about 30 years of age, with
a gold ring on her finger initiated W.D., has been washed,
up, much decomposed, on the coast of Dorsetshire.

An Irish absentee is said to have sent this comfort-
ing message to his steward—" Tell the tenants that no
threats to shoot you will terrify me."

A Newcastle paper says that although there is a
lull in the excitement in respect to the claims of the
"Countess of Derwentwater," many people are still san-
guine as to her success. Mr. Brown, the bailiff, has not
done with making seizures, and a farmer has actually given
him a bill payable in two months rather than allow his
stock to be sold.

Mr. Whalley, M.P., in a letter to the Rev. Mr.
APCarthy, of Cheltenham, commenting upon the treat-
ment of the latter gentleman, who is a very energetic
anti-Romanist, by the Bishop of Gloucester, says he
is convinced that there is no more important •and
urgent question than the abolition of the Established Church.
To have continued to pay and rely upon an army of muti-
nous Sopoys would have been as rational as for Protestants
to support the Church as now administered.

The Manchester Courier reports another trade out-
rage in that district. A master brickmaker of Stockport
took some clay land near Gorton, and commenced opera-
tions. The men be employed were waited upon by two brick-
makers, who told them that they wore working in the Man-
chester district. On Saturday morning seven men were at
work when they saw about forty men armed with sticks ap-
proaching them. Six of the brickmakers fled in time, but the
seventh was caught and brutally ill-treated.

The Western Morning Z'ews is informed that the
members for the Eastern Division of Cornwall intend
taking an early opportunity of waiting upon the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer, and pointing out to him the
injustice of compelling the large number of poor men who
earn their living by carrying clay, stone, tin ore, and
similar commodities, to pay the tax of £2 2s. for their
waggons. Mr. Lakes, of St. Austell, a Commissioner of
Taxes, having wiitten to the Inland Revenue Eoard on
the subject, has received an answer from the secretary,
stating that it " will be before the Commislioners without
delay."

[ADvERTISENIENT. I --TiolloWay's Pills and Ointment.—
Determination of blood to the bead, flushings. palpitation,
and shortness of breath are cured by these grand regula-
tors of the heart's immtls-. Under lIol;oway's grand spe-
cific the currant of blood throughout the body becomes
steady and unchanged by the passing thought; hence the
suffusion of the head and cheeks is avoided and nervous
embarrassment prevented. They, in like manner, remove
excessive sensitiveness, so often the opponent to the ease
and grace inherent in the healthful and strong-nerved
frame, and eradicate the doubts of the nervous. In intel-
lects declining. from intense study, free living, or over
anxiety, no equal remedy is attainable ; without exagge-
ration, they give muscular energy to the paralysed, and
ease to the pained.
