In transmitting
handed me by Francis S. Byrne, Esq., a in igistrate of
thi; district and county, I beg leave to state it as my
opinion, that the conduct of this gentleman and the
three constables who were with him, in the trying and
parilous situation in which they were placed is beyond
all praise, both for steadiness and intrepidity. Why
Mr. Byrne should become obnoxious I do not know,
except that he is an active and zealous magistrate, who
since my acquaintance with him (now four years) I
found to act firmly and humanely. It is deeply to be
regretted that circumstances combined to prevent the
identification of any of the insurgents. In consequence
of this most daring outrage upon a magistrate at his
own door, and also upon the police, and the too suc-
cessful issue of it, as regards the insurgents of the
county. I think it my it) to recommend, earnestly,
that the constabulary at Bullintobbe should be aug-
meted to at least twenty men, and that a detachment of
troops, or twenty additional constabulary, be placed
forthwith either here or at Ballymoe.

The following gives a melancholy idea of the state of
;his part of Ireland :
On the night of the Ist of November last, in the barony
of Lawer Ormond, county Tipperary, as Michael Hogan,
of Killeen, was returning to his house, he was fired at
from behind a hedge, where three men were concealed
until Hogan came close to them ; the shot took no effect,
and the party fled.
This Michael Hogan's brother had given evidence in
the case of Dr. and Mrs. Hobbs, which he deemed the
cause of this attack on the brother.
I have to report, that at half-past seven o'clock, p.m.,
on the Ist instant (December), as James Henzy, steward
to Mrs. Bennett, of Moneaguil, was sitting at dinner in
the kitchen, in Mrs. Bennett's house, he was fired at
through a small opening in the shutter of a front window,
while in the act of putting his hand to his mouth, and
wounded in the hand, the ball having entered near the
thumb, and passing out at the wrist. The ball was
found on the kitchen floor. The police got out as soon
as they possibly could, but could find no trace of the
person who fired the shot, it being very dark at the
time. CH. G. O'DELL, 5.1., Inspector-General.

I have to report that constablep Patrick O'Hara, and
sub-constables John Franklin, James Burke, John
Young, John Mullowney, and Anthony Cullen, of the
Clonlough station, were on patrol in the neighbourhood
of Ballynahinch, about seven P.M. last night, when they
were fired on by a party of Rockites, about eight in
number, who no doubt lay in wait for them ; the
police (four of whom were loaded) returned the fire, but
cannot say with what degree of effect.
The Rockites' fire, I am sorry to say, told on sub-
constable Cullen: he is severely wounded in both arms.
The police took but one prisoner and one stand of arms.
The prisoner is a young man, about eighteen years old,
a servant boy of a farmer; the police detected him giving
the signal to the Rockites to rush from their hiding-
place, near a hduse where the constable (Mari states he
called to receive some information about unregistered
arms. J. LEWIS, S.l

that the Company's works at Earl's hill Colliery will be
suspended on Saturday, the 20th of December next, or
the earliest day admissible, under existing contracts.
The Board has been reluctantly compelled to adopt
this course by the outrages and threats to which the
Company's stewards, Martin Morris and others, have
been subjected with impunity, notwithstatiding large re-
wards offered for information, which might lead to the
punishment of the offenders, and by the threatening
notices subsequently served on those well-disposed work-

earn support for themselves and families, but whose lives
are too highly valued by the Board to be risked by con-
tinuance of the work, until sufficient protection can be

Sir—lt is my principal duty to state to you, for the
information of his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant, that
at dusk last evening a farmer named John Hogan, re-
siding at Ballinaderry, was shot dead close to his own
house ; three or four shots were discharged at him so
close as to set his clothes on fire, and his body perforated
in every part with balls. The cause assigned is, that he
had taken an acre of land joining his farm, from whence
a neighbsur had been dispossessed. The murdered man
was brcther to i 4trby and Michael Hogan, both of
whom have been fired at, the one in February last, the
others a few weeks ago.

On the evening of the 17th, about six o'clock, as
Robert Murphy, of the :shove place, was entering his
house, he was fired at by one of three men who stood at
a small fence opposite the door. The ball entered his
left breast, and passed into his body, from the effects of
which he now lies dangerously ill, and no hopes of his
recovery. Murphy was employed with another man as
keeper on the property of Richard Dunn, of Coolarkin
(the next townland), seized fur rent due of him. Pre-
vious to my arrival he had given the names and descrip-
tion of three persons whom he said he saw when the
shot was fired at him, to constable Uniack, of the Glen-
burn Post, who instantly proceeded with his party and
arrested them. (Signed)

On the night of the 20th, about half-past six P.M1846 ,
at
Cally, in the parish of Rilemaratty, as Mr. Alfred
Waller was returning to his residence, and alone, he
was waylaid in a field by four men, who severely as-
saulted him on the head and arms with bludgeons and
stones, inflicting two severe cuts on his head, and dread-
ful contusions on the left arm, which fractured one of the
bones below the elbow. Mr. Waller himself states, that
he could not himself identify any of the persons who at-
tacked him, nor did he at the moment discover any fire-
arms with them. A few acres of land (three and a half)
which Mr. Waller had at his disposal was the cause, in-
asmuch as his assailants, while beating him, desired him
to " give up Coons, give up Coona" (the name of the little
townlaed which persons of the name of Keeffe pre-
tended to have a claim to.) Mr. Waller's lire is not
considered in any imminent danger.

On yesterday, as Mrs. Bennett, of Moneyguil, was
driving to Ballinaclough church, she was stopped on the
road by two men. one armed with a pistol, and the other
with a wattle. and ordered her to put away two of her
men, Ilenzy and Feehally. On her asking them what
they had dime, they snapped the pistol twice at her, and
gave her three blews of the wattle, which severely
injured her arms. I do not particularly mention this
case on account of the amount of injury done, as Mrs.
Bennett has not received any serious injury, and she
thinks herself the pistol was not loaded, and only
snapped to intimidate her; but it clearly proves to what
a state of inhuman barbarity many of the people of this
county are reduced, when they could thus assault a
feeble old lady while on her way to church. With
what endless perseverance they follow up their designs
when once formed, and another of the numerous in-
stances that it is not the rights of property they alone
attempt to put an end to, but all right to the freedom of
action, or even judgment.

which was committed this day, about six miles from here,
in this district. at a place called Banagunahy, in the

300 acres of land, at 6s. per acre, under Mr. Lowe, of

left his own house this day a little after twelve o'clock,
to proceed to his son's house, situated about 500 yards
from his fsther's, upon the same townland of Bana-

at his son's house, who was absent from home, at-

when it providentially missed fire.
Dances are held constantly in the several toii nlands-. This is done solely to give a tangible excuse for the
gathering together of a number of pers:.ns. I had those

ing urged Mr. Pierce Carrick (an agent under-the

which was in the c,eitre of deceased's farm. The under

I have to report that on last night, the 6th instent,
about the hour of half-past seven o'clock, a party of
seven men, disguised with their faces blackened, and
handkerchiefs tied round them, and three of them
armed with guns, the others with bludgeons, entered the

latter had his scull fractured, and died in two or three
hours afterwards ; the others received cuts and bruises
on their heads and bodies ; two female inmates of the
houses were also struck, but not seriously hurt. On
going away they fired two shots, and then proceeded to
the house of Michael Hogan, of Shanakill, in this dis-

Currastona, March 13, 1846.
My dear Mr. Wray—having dined at Mr. Harry
Browne's, at Leabeg, last night, and having previously
received several threatening notices to be on my guard,
I ordered a patrole of three men, viz., Constable Baska-
villa, Sub-constable Geoghegan, and Sub-constable Gor-
man, to be at my house at about nine o'clock to watch
the neighbourhood ; and, as Leabeg• road was one upon
which it was necessary to patrole, I requested they
would call at Mr. Browne's for me and escort me home ;
they did call, us desired, about ten o'clock, and I ac-
companied them back towards my home. At about a
quarter of a mile from my residence, and as we were
proceeding quietly along, we heard the sound of foot
steps, as if a party of men were running, and in about
half a minute we came up with four men, armed
with long guns and a piece of a scythe, whom
we challenged ; they immediately sopped, and we
made them prisoners, each of us taking one and their
arms. While endeavouring to secure them, they at-
tempted to rescue themselves ; two succeeded, by knock.
ing me down, and made off to their party that was on
before them, which, to the best of our opinion, and what
we could learn from the neighbours, nnmbered at least
200 men, and in the meantime the other two escaped ;
Sub c instable Gorman having followed one of them by
my orders, came up with the main body, who imme-
diately cried out, " Come on, boys ! Will you see our
men taken ? They are only four." (we four.) We then
retreated, the whole body following, and having at-
tempted to make an entry into the house of a man
named Luke Cowen, the party cried out to surround us,
and to come in our rear, in which they succeeded, and
whilst I and the police were endeavouring to force an
entry, there were several shots fired at us, which happily
did not take effect beyond the breaking the windows
and furniture of the house.

THOS. PARLEY, R. 31

Having made our entry, we placed a man at each
door, and one at a window, with bayonets fixed. We
remained quiet, and in a few moments we thought we
saw the end of the house on fire, which proved to be
true, and lighted sods of turf beit.g placed in each
corner in the thatch of the house, we momentarily ex-
prcted to be either burned to death or suffocated, and at
the same time knowing that if we left the house we
would be shot at as we came out. Most fortunately
the man of the house opened the door and called
the neighbours, and commenced putting out his furni-
ture. After some time they, evidently very reluctantly,
carne to our assistance, being in dread and terror
of their lives, and succeeded in tearing down the
burning thatch, which eventually proved our safety. We
remained in a state of defence at Cowen's house from
half past ten P.M. until eight this morning, when, having
reconnoitred, we proceeded to my residence, and having
dressed myself, proceeded to the barrack at Bailin-
tebber, and having reinforced our party, started to
Castlerea to lay the details of the gross and unparalleled
outrage in this hitherto peaceable neighbourhood before
you.

- I regret, from the darkness of the night, and the
porilous situation we were placed in, we could nct
identify any of the partios.

THE FRENCH NAVY.
REPORT OF TEE COMMITTEE OF NAVAL
INQUIRY.
On Monday, the Committee on the grant of an extra-
ordinary credit of ninety-three million francs (3,720,0001)
for the French navy, hid their report before the Chain-
ber of Deputies.
The Committee proposed various modifications in the
project of the Government ; we lay before our readers
an impartial statement of their deliberations.
After having established as an essential condition that
a just equilibrium should exist between the complement
and armament of the navy, the Committee exposed in the
following words the general considerations which guided
them :

" The Committee are unanimous in their opinion that
the French navy must be on such a footing as to be able
to act on the offensive, if necessary, in every part of the
ocean; they do not wish entirely to break with the past,
and renounce for ever the honour4ble though expensive
chances of great naval combats. What they wish, what
they earnestly desire, is that a war, if such came to
pass, might be begun with rapidity, carried on with
vigour and perseverance enough to ensure peace on a
firm footing as the reward of a bold and energetic line of
conduct.
" We agree with the Government on the grounds and
applications of them, but we do not. coincide in their
opinion regarding the number of vessels to be kept
afloat and on the stocks. We do not deem the project
of the Government sufficient as regards the steam navy;
but we wish to reduce the number of sailing vessels of
the lesser class. Voted unanimously. The reductions
are mostly adopted, two votes were for having them on a
much more extensive scale. All were of accord as re-
gards the utility of developing the new system of na-
vigation."

,Rear• Admiral Heernoux, reporter of the Committee,
quoLed.the official documents on the subject, and gave
a clear notion of the advantages of the new recruiting
system of the navy, based on the coast fisheries and the
crews of merchantmen.
According to this system all the recruits are called
successively into the service as the navy may require
them. The reporter was of opinion that the service was
greatly benefited by the system, and that French sailors
might bear comparison with the best organised troops.
The Committee then examined the different classes
of vessels of which the fleet ought to be composed. They
reduced by eight the number of men-of-war on the
stocks, but increased by four the number afloat. They
accorded 2,000 horse-power for establishing vessels
equally adapted for sailing .or steaming (vaisseaux
mixtes), to be attached, no matter what their number,
to the vessels afloat. They demanded, likewise 800
horse-power for the construction of two floating batteries
for blockaiing the mouths of rivers ; the reporter spoke
of these batteries is the following terms :
" The attention of the Committee being particularly
turned to the dqfcnce of the coast, they demanded the
construction of two fl,atina batteries for stopping effec-
tually the mouths of rivers. The floating batteries,
soh ly of a defensive nature, bomb-proof, and built on
plans proposed last year, are to be set in motion by
steam power ; they are likewise to be fire-proof, and if

groaned under the weight of the machinery ; if they
had to run a long distance, the engines were of lesser
poxer, so as to allow room for coals ; if, on the con-
trary, speed was an object, their ergincs were of greater
power, but they could only run for a short space of time,
owing to their stock of coal being too small. Owing to
new inventions these objections are partly done away
with. The new boilers called tubular economise the
fuel, and the use of steam at a higher pressure adds to
the speed of the vessel.
" The it. ventinn of the screw is another step in advance,
and requires the greatest attention to its merits ; a
steamer cannot be a man of war unless her engires are
safe from being destroyed by a cannon ball.
"Some late experiments at Gavres prove that sheet
iron is horribly lacerated by the effects of a cannon ball,
Itherefore war steamers should be constructed of wood.
"The second class steamers, carrying large swivel
guns, ought to be of great speed, so as to be able to at-
tack or retreat, as the case might require.
" The first class ought to be regular frigates carrying
heavy metal, and answering in every respect to their
name.

BRIGADIER-GENERAL CURE-
TO N.
Colonel Cureton was born, bred, and educated a gen-
tleman, and when little more than sixteen years of age,
he was appointed to an ensigncy in a county militia re-
giment of the first pretension, and commanded by a
Noble Earl, who was also the Lord-Lieutenant of the
county. From his ensigncy he was soon promoted to a
lieutenancy, through the esteem and kindess of his
colonel, the Noble Earl. " Young Cureton" became a
general favourite, not only with his brother-officers,
but with every individual in the regiment.
His constant association' with men of seperior wealth,
and being by them introduced to much society, led to
expense beyond his own immediate resources, and at
the end of the year creditors pressed for the settlement
of their bills—then threatened legal proceedings. Ile
applied to his family to assist hint, and they were dissa-
tisfied at his contracting debts, and refused to liquidate
them. His spirit could not brook their refusal of his
request, nor the thought of being arrested (he was then
a minor, and it legally could not have been done), the
dread of which caused him to absent himself, and a few
months afterwards ho was superseded in his regiment,
being absent without leave.
Not long after that event some friend procured him a
commission in another militia regiment of great respec-
tability ; when gazetted to it, it furnished the then few
outstanding creditors with the knowledge of his " where-
about." One or two of them wrote for immediate set-
tlement in threatening language. The fear of arrest
returned strongly, and effectually to guard against it he
resolved agaiirto absent himself; in furtherance of which
he purchased a sailor's dress to disguise himself, and
next morning at an early hour went to the sea-side,
dressed in regimentals, with his disguise and a check-
shirt in a bundle, which he put on, leaving his military
dress on the Deitch (the regiment was stationed in a
maritime town). The uniform was shortly found, and,
after waiting some time in expectation of seeing the
owner, it was taken to the barracks, where it was as-
certained to whom the articles belonged; and an opinion
was entertained that Cureton, while bathing, had been
carried out by the current and drowned. His mother
and family received information from the regiment to
that effect, and they went into mourning for him ac-
cordingly.
By means of his disguise he reached London unknown,
and meeting with a recruiting party of the 14th Light
Dragoons, enlisted in his baptismal names, omitting his
surname. 'Very soon he was sent from the party to join
the' regimental depot stationed at Radipole barracks,
near Weymouth, tl.e regiment at the time being in the
Peninsula. His steady conduct and well-stored mind
quickly attracted the attention of those officers who were
doing duty at the depot, and ho was in consequence
forthwith appointed to orderly-room duty alone. A
draught being ordered out to join head quarters in the
Peninsula, he was one of tha number draughted. Letters
highly recemmerdatory of his general good conduct and
ability were forwarded by the officer in command of the
depot to Sir S. Hawker, Lieutenant- Calonel commanding
the 14th Dragoons. That discerning offic r soon became
assured of the young dragoon's merit and talents, and on
the first opportunity advanced him to the rank of
sergeant. Then, when any outpost or other important
duty required to be entrusted to an intelligent,
skilful noncommissioned officer, it was generally con-
fided to the (then) sergeant for execution. The per-
formance of those duties was always meritorious, and
his reports thereof so well written, that Sir Samuel
Hawker's interest was so far excited in his future pros-
pects and welfare, that he resolved on recommendirg
him to (at teat time) Lord Wellington for advancement
as a commissioned officer, thinking that his talents
would then have greater scope fur development. Sir
Samuel stated his intention to the sergeant, also asking
if at ch a measure would be acceptable. The sergeant
warmly expressed his gratitude to the colonel fur his
kind intention and favourable appreciation of his humble
services, adding that previously to' Sir Samuel so far
benefiting him, he felt it an imperative duty to lay
before him every circumstance connected 'with his posi-
tion in life before he entered into the 14th Light Dra
goons, with the cause and means he took to enlist
therein ; and finished by observing to the colonel that
should he consider what had been related would not
militate hereafter against him as an officer, he most.
gratefully should receive the honour so graciously in-
tended fur him. Sir Samuel Hawker, by what he had
heard, remarked that from his first knowledge of him he
was of belief that he (the sergeant) had been a gentle-
man, and his intention to recommend him for promo-
tion had become more strengthened.
Consequent thereto, in less than three months from
that interview with Sir Samuel, and about seven years
from the tine of his enlisting in the 14th Dragoons, un-
known as ho was, with no means of interest to recom-
mend him or advance him, save that which had been
raised in the breast of his gallant commanding officer,
the present brigadier was gazetted in his proper name
—Cureton, sergeant, from 14th Light Dragoons, to an
ensigncy of the 40th Regiment of Infantry. The first
intimation his friends had of his existence, arose from
reading his name, to their great astonishment, in the
Gazette. They were soon made acquainted with the
mode of corresponding with him, being then in the
Peninsula. They then knew that he had honourably
passed the ordeal of a private's and non-commissioned
officer's grades in a cavalry regiment, and submitted to
him which service he would prefer, cavalry or infantry.
He chose the former, and an exchange was without delay
effected in the late 20th Dragoons, as cornet. A lieu-
tenancy was in a reasonable time obtained, when he
e
was appointed adjutant to the regiment, and remained
so until the disbandonment of the regiment after the
peace, which placed him upon half-pay. In that corps
he was highly esteemed by all his brother officers,
while his efficiency and merits as a cavalry officer were
duly appreciated by the Lieutenant-Colonel comman,d•
ing, Sir Thomas Hawker, brother of his patron, Sir
Samuel Hawker, of the 14th Dra goons.

- - - GAME-LAWS.—Game, according to law, includes
hares, pheasants, and a few others ; but there is an old case
of a hackney-coach horse who died game, or, at all events,
carried out the gallant resolve of Macbeth, to " die with har-
ness on his back." No person can kill game without a certi
ficate, which proves that he is an individual of "some mark ;"
but he is nevertheless often very wide of the mark on these
occasions. If the animals shot at were aware of this pro-
vision for their security, they would have the right to call
upon the sportsman to produce his certificate before proceed-
ing to make game of them. A ceptificate must be taken out
annually, and expires in July ; but if a hare were shot on
the last day of that month, and not to expire until August,
the certificate having expired before the hare, a vev nice
question would arise as to the legality of killing hi.n. The
landlord who lets his land, usually reserves the right of kill-
ing the game, the tenant having the privilege of feeding it.
It has been said by Coke, that the landlord has all the best
of the game, which is, for the tenant, a very losing one. The
laws against poaching are very severe. and extend even to
protection of the eggs of birds of game ; so that poaching an
egg is highly criminal. The preserving of game is carried
to an extent that is often destructive to the tenant ; he is
not allowed to regard self-preservation as the first law of
nature, for game preservation is a paramount obligation.—

Council, by Sir Peter Laurie:—
" Calcutta, May 23, 1843.
"My dear Sir Peter Laurie,—l have been intend-
ing, day after day, , for some time past, to write
to you, but somehow time has got the start of
me, and, unfortunately, without my having any
good excuse to offer for the delay in carrying
out my good intent. May I ask you, however, before
entering Into the direct object-of my letter, if you re-
collect having given it as your opinion at a party,
where I had the pleasure of meeting you, that per-
sons abroad took no note of the proceedings of the
Corporation of the City of London, and of my having
remarked, in reply, that so far as my experience went, I
felt justified in saying that, instead of distance lessen-
ing, it lent intense interest to every thing that passed
in that great body ? Acid now let me assure you,
Eir Peter, from the experience I have had since I
left London, as well as from that of my former life,
I find persons abroad better informed and taking
deeper interest in your movements than those
at home. If, however, the Indian community had
ever been wanting in attention to the proceedings of the
magistrates and the Corporation of the metropolis of
Britain, you have, cf late, taken the best method of fix-
ing their attention on your doings. I refer to the ho-
nour and distinction you have conferred on Nett, and
Pottinger, and other Indian officers. But whilst you
have been showirg well-merited applause and more sub-
stantial marks of your approbation on those able and
gallant men, there is one who, by still remaining at his
post of danger and of duty, seems to me to have been
deprived, by that fact alone (absence) of his share of
those honours. I feel assured, when. reminded of this
cireumstairce, that no one will be more ready than your-
self in lending your powerful aid in obtaining for the
absetit some mark of the City's approbation.
" I had the pleasure of meeting at your hospitable
beard a brother of Sir George Pollock's, and this cir-
cumstance, as well as the knowledge of your desire on
all occasions to see justice done to small and great, has
induced me to address you on this matter. I inuq first
tell you, that I have been requested to act as lienorary
Secretary to the Cominittee appointed to carry out the
objects of the resolutions passed at a general meeting of
the public of Calcutta. I have taken the liberty of for-
warding to you the proceedings of that meeting,
by which you will learn, thst besides an address
unamiously voted to Sir George Pollock, a prize was
also to be given annually at Addiscombe (the
Company's military seminary) ta commemorate the
name . and services of the gall int general. This
sort of testimonial will, I hope, be considered ex-
tremely appropriate, as it not only conveys the WgheA
compliment which could be paid to Sir George Pollock,
but likewise evinces an earnest desire on the part of the
givers to perpetuate in our own country a constantly re-
curring recollection of the many brilliant and important
victories whichain consequence of, and in succession to,
the memorable forcing of the Ky ber Pass, were suc-
cessfully and uninterruptedly obtained by the Bengal
army under Sir George, until he again planted the
British flag on the Ballah llessar, and re-occupied
Cebul, thus restoring the long-established impression
and prestige of the invincibility of our military power
and strength, an 1 visiting with singular retributive
punishment the fl 'grant acts and conduct of the Affghans.
I hope also you will consider the testimonial appro-
priate, especially as it holds out an inducement to young
soldiers in the same service as Sir George Pollo,k to
gain this reward, and by their future career to emulate
tee great deeds of their predecessors. I have taken
upon myself to mention your name to the Committee,
and assured them that I believed you would
take a deep interest in promoting the object of
the public of this city ; and I am requested reFpectfully
and earnestly to solicit your pewertul aid in giving the
papers general circulati, n, in the fullest conviction that
the fading they will excite will obtain for the object we
have in view the most satisfactory- suffrage and support.
Under your 'support, it would afford the inhabitants of
India a just cause of pride and satisfaction if the Corpo-
ration were to take this appropriate mode of testifyiag
their approbation of the high deserts of their fellow-
citizen, Sir George Pollock, by numbering themselves
with these who have come forward to support this inte-
resting and novel testimonial in honour of a brave soldier
and meritorious man.
" I have been obliged to write this, as you see evidence
or, in great haste, and must trust to your tried kindness
to excuse it."

RAIL WA Y ACCIDENTS.
PARIS ACADEMY OF SCIENCES.—Sxmna Cr
APRIL 1.
We have already given an account of a paper read to
the Academy by M. Piobert, on the accidents %%Well
have occurred on railroads, and the importance of an in •
quiry intolhe means of rendering this mode of comma
nication and transport more secure. At the opening
of this day's sitting, M. ,Poncelet read the report of
a Committee on M. Piobert's paper, approving of it
generally, and recommending that it should be referred
by the 4.cademy to the Government, with a view of
directing its attention, in a marked and formal manner, to
the important subject tinder consideration. The reading
of this report led to an animated discussion. M.
Lionville contended that the course recommended by the
Committee, as regards a reference to the Government,
was contrary to the regulations and usage of the Aca-
demy ; but he was replied to with great energy by MM.
Arago, Charles Dupin, and Poncelet, who observed
that the question was one of too great importance for
the academy to hold itself bound by the strict letter of
its regulations, which declare that it shall not assume
the initiative of advice to the Government, but shall offer
its opinion only when called upon by the Government to
give it. If, said these gentlemen, the Ministry slept
whilst the lives of the people were in danger, it became
the Academy to offer its advice even when unasked. This
opinion having prevailed, and the Academy being
almost unanimous as to the propriety of the course re.
commended by the committee, a long conversation then
ensued as to whether the Academy should merely direct
the attention of the Government to the accidents which
have taken place, and the necessity of inquiry into the
means of prevention for the future! or state, in a precise
manner, the means which the Academy considers it
most urgent to adopt. The arguments advanced by the
gentlemen who spoke in support of this second proposi-
tion prevailed; but it may interest our readers to know
something of the views expressed as to the means of
preventing accidents like those which have been so
destructive of human life. One of the chief questions
discussed was that of breaks. Hitherto all attempts to
arrest suddenly and effectually the progress of a train
by means of breaks, when it is proceeding at a high rate
of speed, have' been failures, as every scientific man
knows they must be considering the impetus against
which they have to contend. A great deal was said
about the superiority of one kind of break over another
kind, and some of the speakers charged certain compa-
nies with culpable negligence in not adopting the break on
which other companies place full reliance. To prove the
superiority of one kind of break over another undo 1. ordi-
nary circumstances may not be difficult, but to prove
that any kind of break would have prevented the fatal
collisions that have taken place is beyond the power of
any man, whether a member of the Academy or not.
There are two points to be considered in this question
of collisions. The first and most important is to esta-
blish such severe regulations as to the management of
railroads, and such heavy punishments for negligence
on the part of the persons employed upon them, as to
make collision a very rare event. Let it be borne in
mind that a collision never can take place without the ex-
istence of culpable ncgket. Two trains cannot run into
each other if the time and rate of speed be so regulated
that they can never be in a position to produce such a
result. To prevent negligence a'together, to render all
men prudent and careful, is, we know, beyond the power of
directors of railroads, or of the government, however
severe the regulations may be. But a great deal may bo
done in this respect, and we are sorry to say that neither
the directors of companies nor the autboritii a hate cone
all that they were bound to do. One of the leading
causes of collisions is the irregularity of the
speedollo
which trains proceed. A few minutes are lost upon
and,

CHARGE OF MURDER.
On Wednesday, an inquest was held before Mr. Laker,
Coroner, at the London Hospital, Mile End-rend, on
the body of James Eastmead Bradley, aged
twenty, a toll-collector, who died on Sunday
morning last, from the injuries he received
by the wheels of a loaded dung cart passing over his
body on Saturday morning, near the Mile End gate.
A man named Thomas 801 l has been remanded on a
charge of wilful murder by the magistrates at de
Thames Pol Fee
.Court, after hearing evidence • that the
deceased, while attempting to collect the toll from the
prisoner, was struck at, and forced under the waegon.
It appeared from the evidence, that Rolf, who is a
lighterman and greengrocer, in 'High-street, Bromley,
passed through Mile End-gate with his horse and cart,
on Saturday morning, about five o'clock. Ile was ac-
companied by his son, a lad aged fifteen years. They
had previously passed through the Globe-road gate,
lower down the road, on the same trust, and the prisoner
Ruff tendered a sovereign to' the turnpike roan in pay-
went of the toll. The collector was unable to give
change for the sovereign, and gave him a credit ticket--
a common practice on the road—marked "Toff C."
When the horse and cart passed through the Mile End•
gate, the deceased, who was collector, ran after aed de-
manded the toll or the ticket of the day. Roirs son
called out the letter " Y." The deceased said that it
would not do, and attempted to force the reins from
Roff's hands, and turned the horse and cart re and to-
wards the Blind Beggars. While the struggle was going
on, a loaded dung-cart passed in the same direction, and
the shaft caught tTle deceased and threw him down.
The wheels•passed over him. •
A witness named George Hunt, porter, deposed that
the prisoner struck at the deceased twice with i,s whip,
which had no thong to it.
The driver of the cart which passed over the deceased stated that Roffonly struck one blow while the deceased
was at the hor e's head. • , • Roff 'a son swore positively that his father matle one
blow at the deceased, but did not hit him ; itLi/ that
while Bradley was stooping to avoid the blow, the haft
of the dung-eart caught his head and threw hint A question now rose between Mr. Serrell, who ep-
peered for the prosecution, and Mr. Pelham, fur the
prisoner, as to the legality of the deceased's conduct. It
was argued that the letter " Y," which Roff's son called
out, belonged to the ticket of the day, commencing at
five o'clock in the awning. The occurrence hapeened
at five minutes before five. Amert some further di=ens-
sion and a good deal of wrangling between the legal
gentlemen emplo3 ed in the case and the father of the
deceased, who is the principal collector of tolls at the
Mile End-gate, the inquest was adjourned.

MAYOR

A SSASSIN ATION 01 A.
BY A YOUNG WOMAN.
COURT OF ASSIZES OF CORSICA, MAnctr 23.
The following trial reveals a curious state ofall'airs in the
island of Corsica, where for the last :ix years a species
of civil war has raged, in which one party has succeeded
in exterminating the other, killing successively all the
males of two families,' without the civil power having
been able energetically to correct such a state of dis-
order. The fathers and brothers Eeing all slain, the
murderers have with impunity threatened to viola'e the
women, to cut off their breasts, and afterwards to put
them to death ; even the females have been obliged to
arm themselves in thf it own defence. The folovving is
a short narrative of the events which had led to this
state of things

• The commute of Santa Lucia di Tailano, in the
island of Corsica, had fur many years been divided into
two factions ; on the one side n ere the Quilichinis and
the Polls, on the ether the Giaconsonis and Santa
Lucias. Numbers having fallen on both sides by the
dagger and musket, the two parties became weary of
she mutual slaughter, and in 1834 a peace was patched
up; for *ix years they refrained from hostilities. In
1840 two marriages were contracted by Pierre Poll and
Jaxques Quilichini, which excited a feeling of enmity
in the Santa Lucias, who had wished to marry thes7e
young men into their own family, and they conceived
and executed the frightful pr. ject of assa,sinnting Poll
and Quilichini on the day of their marriage. These
two horrible crime=, committed in open r:;-;y, with no
provocation, were the signal for the breaking out or the
second war. The assassins lied to Sardinia, but were
puesucd and arrested ; two of the m, the Abi ea Santa'
Lucia and Giulice Giacomeni were brought to trial.
The priest was found guilty, and condemned to ten
years' imprisonment ; tle other was acquitted. On the
new; of the c4.denanstion of the pi-list, his relatives
commenced a aeries of climes almost unparalleled for
barbarity and persevering cruelty. One individcd, who
had given evidence against the Abl 4 Santa Lucia, was
seized by these bandits in the fields ; they betintriiim to
a tree, put out his eyes. cut out•his torn.;ue, stela i d him n
carious parts of the body, and left him in this state,.ex-
claming, " That was the Corsican way of treating false
witnesses." No fever than SIX other persons who hnd
given evidence, perished beneath the kniie of the weas.
sins, or pierced by the shot from their guns. Pre;ela-
Mations were affixed to the r ails of the cilurch o:
Sane re, prohibiting, under pain of death, the least
help t:ing given to the families of the enemies to these
bandits.

The mains of the opposing factions had thus been all
sacrific(d to the vengeance of the Santa Lucia party,
with the exception of one, a surgeon at Ajaccio.

door of his own house. he assassir, in making his
escape, was stopped by a Custom-house officer. but
Santa Lucia drawing a dagger from his breast. stat,hed
him to the heart,'seized the officer's double-burelecl
carbine and cartouchc-box, and made off to the moun-
tains in safoty. Reports were then spread, that the men
being all dead, the bandits were about to immolate the
women, and under the impression caused by these
rumours, on the 20th of November last, Marie Quilicbini,
the sister of one of the victims, while going to the spring
for water, met the Mayor of. the commune, who was

ACCIDENT TO HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS THE PRINCE OF
SAXE-COBOURG, ONIIILS JOURNEY. TO TouLON, MARCH 31:—
MARSEILLRS, APRIL 3.—The horses of the carriage, in which
the Prince was seated, in company with one of his Aides-de-
Camp, having taken fright at something on the road, started
off at full speed, and in the endeavours of the coachman to
check them, the reins were broken. The Prince and his
friend then opened both the doors of the carriage, and jumped
out. His Royal Highness slightly bruised or sprained one of
his legs in his fall, but his friend alighting on the ground
without injury, was fortunate enough to get hold of the
horses' heads and stop them. His Royal Highness was so
little affected by his fall thathe was not only enabled to com-
plete his journey without inconvenience, but also to appear
the following evening at the theatre at Marseilles. Very
fortunately the Duchess was not in the same carriage as the
Prince. The amiable qualities of this illustrious and youth-
ful pair are the admiration of all who have had the honour
of being admitted to their personal acquaintance. Their
Royal Highnesses and suite embarked yesterday afternoon,
at a little after four, on board the Amiterdam, for the coasts
of Spain and Lisbon.

STocst EICHANGI.-The proposal of Sir R. Peel appears to meet
the general satisfaction of scrip holders and speculators, and has
*caused much life in our market: It is, however, to be feared that
parties will fall into the other extr..me by endeavouring to prevent
the passing of schemes intrinsically good, whereas last year they ware
7.7:.i0114 to prom to the ado;,tion of schemes rally bad ; and It is
que3L!onal,i 3 whether the Legislature might riot have met the present
*exigency by caueing the dep ,sits on lines thrown out this session,
to return the balance of clei,csit.3 within a limited period (say six

MATRIMONIAL FACTS AND FIGURES.—III the year
1842 the number of marriages ngistered in England and Wales was
113,825-110,047 according to the rites of the Established Church,
sutd 8,778 otherwise. 5,387 of the brQegrooms, and 16,003 of the
brides were tinder age ; 15,619 of the bridegrooms were widowers,
and 10,570 of the bride, wets,, widows; and 38,031 of the brid,
grooms, and 56,965 of the brides (or nearly one-half of the total
number) were unable to writs their names. The effect of " bad
times" on the number of marriages is strikingly apparent in this
number of the Registrar-General's report. Li 1839 the number of
marriages was 123,166 ; in 1340, 122,665 ; In 1141, 122,456 ; and in
1842, 118,825.

DEALERS ANTIQUITIES.—An action was lately
brought by an old lady against a dealer in curiosi' les. for cheating
her In the matter of antiques. Her taste was not limited to the
odditiss of the present day, and in the dealer she found a person per-
fectly inclined to gratify her with wonders. lie had sold her a model
of the Alexandrian library, a specimen of the original type invented
by Memncn the Egyptian, and a manuscript of the first play acted
by Thespls. These had not exhausted the stock of the dealer; he pos-
sessed the skin of a giraffe, killed in the Roman amphitheatre, the
head of King Arthur's spear, and the breeeli of the first cannon fired
at the siege orCoirtantinople. The jury, however, thought that the
virtuoso having ordered these curiosities, ought to pay for them. and
brought in a verdict for the dealer.—Bluedirood.

LONDON IlesprrAL.—On Tuesday afternoon a speeial
meeting of the governors and supporters of this charity was held at
the board-room in the hospital. From the report of the honortry
secretary, W. B. Bathurst, Esq., it appears that during the past year
a more than usual number of distressed poor have applied for and
received relief and medicine from the establishment, besides the
surgical operations daily performed in the cases of accidents, &c.
The number of in-patients admitted during the year, was 1,397 ;
accidents, 2,030; extra cases received without a letter of recom-
mendation- from a governor, 288. Accidents were also admitted
without letters of recommendation. The number of casual or out-
patients during the same period was 15,485. Making a total num-
ber of patients who have been cured or relieved la the course of last
year, 19,110. Independent of these cases, there was an average of
eight patients weekly requiring the in-door treatment ; but in con-
sequence of the want of room in the institution, were treated as out-
patients. The 106th anniversary festival will be celebrated at the London
Tavern, on the 23d instant, at which his Royal el.ghness the Duke of
Cambridge has intimated his willingness to preside.
ACCIDENTS ON THE NEWCASTLE AND CARLISLE
RAILWAYS.—On Monday morning, as the first train on the above
line was 'proceeding eastward, and when it had arrived near to the
Four-stone's station, a flock of sheep were observed to be on the
line. The engine man at ones blew the whistle and shut off the
steam, to prevent mischief, but the momentum which the train had
acquired was too great to be subdued in time, and consequently the
train ran amongst the sheep, killing about nineteen, and severely In-
juring many others. The driver was not at all to blame, as
he used every means to stop the train on first seeing
the sheep on the line. The sheep, it IS supposed, had
strayed out of a field which adjoins the line. On the same after-
noon another accident occurred on the same railway, near
the Blaydon station. The afternoon train, which leaves Carlisle at
two o'clock, had arrived at Stella, near where the turnpike crosses,
when a horse and cart were observed coming down the hill towards
the line, at a furious rate; the train came up Just at the time the
cart was passing, and killed the horse on the spot, shivering the cart
to pieces ; the driver, strange to say, escaped with no other injuries
than a scratch on the face and a slight wound on his head, occa-
sioned by being thrown out of the cart against a wall. The fore-
wheels of the engine were thrown off the line by the concussion, but
the Redheugh train being waiting, took the passengers up, and pro-
ceeded with but little delay. The horse and cart belonged to Mr.
Smith, brewer and farmer, Winlaton ; and it is stated that the driver
was intoxicated at the time of the occurrence.
WINCHESTER COLLEGE.—It is intended to establish
scholarships in the University of Oxford, for the benefit of
scholars from Winchester College, as a tribute to the memory
of the late Dr. Goddard. Upwards of 1,2004 have already
be aubleritoed,

I feel exceedingly indebted for the courtesy and con-
sideration evinced by the Committee of Selection in sug-
gesting the arrangement proposed in your letter ; but
since my objection to serve upon Committees on English
tod Scotch private Bills is founded upon the relations at
present subsisting between my country and Great Bri-
tain, and not upon a regard for my own personal con-
venience, I must rcfer to my former coma:inflict:Um, as
announcing my final determination.
I have the honour to be your obedient faithful servant,
WILLIAM S. O'BRIEN.
To tht.: Chairman of the Committee of Selection.

A performance of Parry's licl,hazzar's Feast, Men.
delasohn's 114th, and 113ydri's Service No. 2, was an.
nounced for April 24th inst.

In the park o Malty aison, recently purchased, with
its chateau, by Queen Christina, her Majesty has erected a
Gothic chapel, under the direction of M. Sureda, the archi-
tect, in the style of the S.:jute-Chapelle, at the Palais de
Justice. The walls are to be covered with mural paintings,
in the fashion of the thirteenth century; and M. Henri de
Gerente has just finished one of five windows which are to
enrich the arch. The one completed represents St. Augustin,
the patron saint r:f the Duke de Rianzares. The other sub-
jets will be, Si. Christina, the patron of the Quen-Mother ;
the Holy Virgin ; Isabella of Hungary, the patron saint of
the Queen of Spain; and St. Louis, the patron of the Infanta
Louise. The great gate will be surmounted by a rosace of
stained glass, richly executed. The arms of Castile, of Leo,
of Grenada, and of France, succeed each other on a ground of
blue.—Ailienceurz.

PIERS AND lIARDOIHIS.—It appears, from a return
issued by the House of Commons, that tolls are now autho-
rised to be levied for the maintenance of piers and harbours
at the following places, on the coast of Great Britain and
Ireland :—Whitby' Scarborough, Dover, Ramsgate, and
Bridlington. At Whitby, the receipts of tolls from sth of
January, 1838, to sth January last, amounted to 21,0111.95. 4d. ;
. and at Scarborough, to 4,0201. 6s. 7d. But in the latter case
(according to the decision in August last at the York as-
sizes, in the case of " Mayor, &c., of Scarborough v. John
nason") the revenue from this source is lost to the piers and
harbours of Scarborough. At Dover, the receipts during the
same period have been on an average of 9,3001., or 9,4001.
per annum; and at Ramsgate, between 18,0001. and 19,000/,
also per annum. At the Bridlington piers and harbours the
receipts have been between 1,7001. and 1,800/. a year.
ntley Oyes us this month among its "leading arti-
cles," "Brian Olinn ; or, Luck is Every Thing." The
story is well sustained, and the pleasant manner in which it
is narrated adds a charm to it, and occasions a feeling of
regret when the author and ourselves part company. " ip-
perary Hall," is lively, clever, and spirited, and promises to
be a favour:te re-union for the readers of Bentley. We have
also "a Memoir of Flora Macdonald," by Charles White-
head, with a beautiful portrait by A. Ramsay. "The Scat
of War, the Sikhs and the Punjab," by Dr. W. C. Taylor,
is a well-timed paper, offering to those who will not, in any
other way, take the trouble to understand, the past and pre-
sent position of the Sikh people. The managers of this
Miscellany deserve commendation for leading the public, as
in above instance, to a more improving style of reading
than is now generally found in the host of monthly
tions launched from the press. We confidently recommend
this month's number to our readers.—Bridgewater Times.
THE HIGHLANDMAN'S CURE.—A true son of the
Gaelic and the tartan, on a journey last week from his
heather-clad hills to the Fair city, had unfortunately, not-
withstanding the well known capabilities of the Scottish
mountaineer to endure fatigue, broken doe-n when he reached
Banlsfoot. A Highlander must be very ill when in pursuit of
a purpose he is compelled to give in, but so was the case with
OUT present friend. Besides inward ails, one of his feet was
sorely lacerated, and exhausted; crippled and suffering se-
verely, he took up his lodgings in an inn inßankfoot. Having
seated himself by the fire, he engaged a bed for the night, and
had partly doffed his habiliments to get into it, when he re-
membered his condition, and bethought himself of the remedy.
No one need ask what that was, for nothing is more proverbial
than that whisky is the Higland cure for every sort ofailmen4
external as well as internal. Our friend therefore ordered
half a mutchkin of " double." The half he applied as an in-
side balsam, and with the other half he commenced rubbing
his sore foot. While performing this operation, he necessarily
required to examine his wounds with the candle, and in doing
so, unluckily, the aqua vita caught fire ; and in an instant the
foot and half mutchkin stoup were in a blaze. Down went
the hand that was rubbing the foot to dispel the low, but,
alas, it took fire too, and carried the flame up his leg. Both
hands were then put in requisition, but the more he rubbed
to subdue the flame the more it increased. Nevertheless
Donald continued at his labour, notwithstanding the agony
he endured, with heroic fortitude, and would have per.
severed until the spirit of the whisky had been exhausted
had not his night garment taken fire. This was too much.
He fairly gave in and roared out murder. The landlord
hurried in, and in a second a couple, of buckets of water
were dashed upon him. These extinguished the flames, but
Donald's injuries were such that he had to take a conveyance
to Perth next day, and has not yet been able to take the
road home.—Perthshire Courier.

GARRETT V. ADAMS AND OTHERS.
(Special Jury.)
For the plaintiff were Mr. Sergeant Talfourd, Mr.
Whately, Q C., Mr. Alexander, Q.C., Mr. Greaves, and
Mr. Dowdeswell ; for the defendant, Mr. Keating and
Mr. Selfe.
Mr. Sergeant TALFOU RD, rising on behalf of the plain-
tiff, said that his client was a Mr. Edmund Garbett, an
attorney living at Wellington, Salop, and that the de- '
fendants were gentlemen of the highest respectability,
namely, Mr. Sergeant Adams, Mr. Blandfor.,, Mr.
Webster, and Mr. Holcombe, This case, like the pre
ceding, arose cut of railway transactions • the defendant,
Mr. Sergeant Adams, having been, in detober la t, the
(.11 irmsn, art d the other defendants committeemen of the
Shropshire Min ral Railway Company. Mr. Aehims,
the nephew of the Learned Sergeant, and a Mr. Yar-
borough, his partner, were the London sol'citers,
anti the plaintiff was appointed the country solicitor,
in which office he continued to act until about a week
ago. Some little time since the company had fallen
into disunion, and Garbett delivered in his bill amount-
ing to 1,853/. 7s. 101., of which he had been paid 1,0101,
leaving a balance claimed by him of 8431. is. 10,1., be
sides which he demanded 3041. commission on 4,000
shares disposed of by him for the company, independ-
ently of this other claim. Application was made to the
Master of the Rolls to tax the bill, and be made an
order to that effect, directing further proceedings in the
meantime to be stayed. In addition, however, to the
other debt, the plaintiff made a further demand for
Is-IL, alleged to have been incurred for services per-
formed subsequently to those particularised in the pre-
vious bill, and also for advertisements and other ex-
pense?, whereupon the order of the Master of the Rolls
was amended, to allow the action to proceed in respect
or these letter items. The present cause was confined
to the claim accruing since the 7th of January, and
304/. for commission on shares, which it was maintained
the company had agre, d to pay, independently of all
retnuneratiun for professional services. The first plea
upon the record alleged that no signed bill had been de-
livered; in reply to which it was urged that, as regarded
the sum claimed for commission, no signed bill was re-
quired, as that constituted a debt due to the plaintiff,
irrespective of his character of attorney. The defend-
ants, however, denied the existence of any such agree-
ment as that to which the plaintiff referred.
The first witness, Henry Pooley, was then called and
examined by Mr. WHATELY—He stated : Last August
I became secretary to the Shropshire Mineral Railway,
and continued in that capacity till February last; I
attended the meetings of the committee during the in-
tervening period. Mr. Sergeant Adams, Mr. Blandford,
Mr. Webster, and Mr. Holcombe also attended those
meetings. All the resolutions of the committee were
reduced to writing. There were several discussions
about the commissions payable to the country agents. I

Cross
- examined by Mr. HEATING—AII the time that
.I.iyas secretary Mr. Garbett was the country solicitor.
I do not know that the duties of the country solicitor
and local agent were dissimilar. He attended the
board meetings, they did not. The meeting at New-
port was about the sth of December. Mr. Webster
was present on that occasion. The resolutions re-
specting the local agents were then agreed upon. I
only attended one meeting at Newport. The claim by
Brewn for commission was discussed. He sought about'
300/. or over; be accepted 301. odd. That was not the
first meeting at which the claims of local agents had
been discussed. The country agents and solicitors ful-
filled the same kind of duties.
Re-examined by Mr. Wile:l-ELY—Yarborough and
Adams vere the London solicitors to the Company.
_ Here a suggestion was offered by the Learned Chief
Baron, to the effect that, in his opinion, the point at issue
would be more fairly dealt with by submitting it to the
Master, as he (the Learned Judge) was of opinion that
the items particularised by the, plaintiff were taxable by
that officer.

THE HOUSELESS POOR.-The asylums in Whitecross-
street and East Smithfield were closed last week, having
been opened but six weeks, the shortest period of any winter
since their establishment. The total number admitted.At the
former was 3,471, and to the latter 2,362, being 1,701 men
and 661 women and children.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
John Jones, a good-looking youth, between thirteen
and fourteen years of age, of superior manners, and
dressed in very showy style, was charged with atttmpt-
lug to pick pockets.
Mr Rebineon, the solicitor, attended on his behalf.
William Jones, one of the constables belonging to the
Mendicity Seel( ty, stated that between, five and six
o'clock yesterday afternoon he saw the prisoner with
four other youths of much the same appeararce as him-
self, in New Bend-street, following two lathes oho were
walking arm-in-arm. The prisoner was close, behind
them, in the centre of his companions, who were
sereening him from observation. Witness saw him put
his hand to the ladies' dresses, and feel for their pockets;
they followed the ladies to the Burlington-arcade, and
at the entrance the prisoner again attempted their
pockets. The ladies went into the Arcade. Witness
followed, and asked if they had lost anything ; they
said they had not. The prisoner and his companions
then went into Burlington-gardens, where he followed
up another lady in a similar manner, and witness saw
him take hold of her dress and put his hand to her left-
side pocket. He then seized him, on which he threw
something away, believed to be a pair of scissors. He
was secured, but his companions made cif and escaped.
. Mr. HARDWICK asked if the prisoner was known?—
The constable said, he had been pointed out to several of
the force that morning, but nothing was known of him.
The prisoner said he was merely w alking along
quietly, when the constable seized him.
Mr. HAnnwrcK—How do you get your living?—
Prisoner—l am residing with my mother, at No. 2,
Albert-terrace, Surrey-road, Blackfriars-road.
Mr. HARDWICK. remanded the prisoner until Tuesday
next, and directed that in the interim inquiry should be
made respecting him.

IRONMASTERS QUARTERLY MEETING.—W'JLVER-
Q,N,trTON, WEDNESDAY.—The ironmastcrs' quarterly meet-
ing was held here to-day. The attendance was good, and
great anxiety was evidently felt as t , the present position
and prospects of the iron trade. There were a good many
orders and offers announced at reduced rates; but none were
accepted, and the business done was of a trifling character at
present rates—viz., pig, 4/.155. to 51. 10s.; bar, 101.; rail-
way iron, 101. to 11/. per ton. One master, who does a large
business, stated that an order at a reduced rate was handed
to him, which he traced as having gone through twelve dif-
ferent masters, by whom it was refused; but another master
stated that he was aware of the fact that a good many orders
at reduced rates were actually in progress of being executed,
having been taken nominally at the rates fixed by the last
meeting, but with an understanding that a heavy deduction
would be made in the shape of discount. In these circum-
stances the meeting at Birmingham to-morrow is expected
to be a stirring one.
A few days ago, as a little boy belonging to Vime-
reux, near Calais, was trying with a line from the quay to catch
some of the small fry peopling the water, he was frightened by see-
ing en Imotenee black mass come floating up the harbour. He has.
tened to inform his father; and in a few minutes the whole of the in-
habitants were upon the quay, astounded at seeing the port cent-
pletely filled with mackerel. Some thne was lost in considering how
to secure this valuable godsend. At length the means of entrapping
the whole shoal was devised, by completyly stopping the mouth of
the harbour ; and Vu?, according to one account, more than 500,000
fish have been caught.
[ADVERTISEMENT.] —DEBILITY AND WEAKNESS.—
EXTRAORDINARY CASE. -- CURE BT HOLLOWAY'S PILLS. r Mrs.
Mitchell, of Bristol-road Birmingham, was in that weakly state as
not to be able to dress herself ; besides which, there was a constant
pain in the right side, preventing her from lying upon it. She was
never free from head-aches; appetite and digestion very bad, and
her spirits always greatly depressed. Now this lady, ere she be-
came so extremely ill, visited various watering placcS, where she had
the best medical advice, but her case battled the skill of all, and
yet, to the surprise of her family and friends, sbe is restored to per-
manent health by the use of Holloway's gills.—Sold by all druggists
