THE PROVISION SCARCITY.
DUBLIN, APRIL 14.—Reports, as usual, highly
coloured, were current all day to the effect that the
country people, driven to desperation by hunger. had
assembled in dirge masses in the neighbourhood of Clon-
mel. that several flour mills had been taken by storm,
and their conter:ts carried off, that the military, dragoons
and artillery, had been called out, and that a serious col-
lision between soldiers and
result. Part, and very small part, of all these alarming
peasantry had been the final
reports appear to be found& din fact. The affair is thus
noticed in the Peat of this evening :
" A correspondent in Clontuel, whose letter is dated
yesterday afternoon, writes to say that the greatest ex-
citement prevails in that town, owing to an attack made
by the peasantry on some carts laden with provisions,
and under an escort of military. Two troops of dra-
goons and a party of artillery that arrived from Cahir
yesterday morning, were dispstehed to Marlfield mills
and distillery, upon which an attempt at plunder had
been made. Happily no lives have been lost, as the
militiry succeeded in driving back the people without
firing on them."
Tt.e Evening Freeman has an account which substan-
tially agrees with the foregoing. It is as adios% s:--
" Letters have reached town to-day announcing that
there was an outbreak of the people at Cloinntl, the
county town of south Tipperary, yesterday. The• people,

LATE ACCIDENT ON THE BRANDLING JUNCTION
RAILWAY.—SOUTIf SHIELD., APRIL. 14.—Sarah Ripon, one
of the unfortunate women who hotrecitived such extensive in-
juries by the recent accident on,
_ll, e 13randling Junction Rail-
way, died shortly after four.. %click this morning. Her in-
juries were principally la
ec.a s 11 the head, chest, and arms.
The deceased was a native of Alston, in Cumberland, and
she had been on a visit to her
_sister, Mrs. Swalwell, whose
husband had
left the house hut a few minutes before the
accident, to attend a Sunday :school. The deceased was sit-
ting near the fire, and ikirg Swaiwell was at the table, when
a rumbling noise was beard, and the one said to the other,
" What could it be?" moment after the engine de-
scended through the root. The coroner's inquest on the
body was commenced to- day, and adjourned till Thursday.

inland, but our Admiral persuaded them to return, and
left, orders that they are not to be molested by the French
until he received despatch( s from England. I think the
French are going rather too far. The natives visited our
ship, and were dancing the r war dances the whole of the
afternoon ; they seemed quite grateful to the Admiral
for restoring them to their homes. They detesta French-
man. Our Admiral went to church with Queen Pomare,
and distributed presents, to her people ; gave her some
provisions, and told her to wait calmly until he came
again. She puts great dependence on England for pro-
tection. While off Otaheite, we found that our mizen-
mast was rotten ; we have got it out, and the carpenters
are at work about it (being a ' built' mast it can be re-
paired), and we are refitting with all pmsible dispatch,
and expect to sail in about a monti for Callao, to meet
the fleet, where I expect he (Admiral Seymour) will
come to terms with the President one way or the other.
After that I think we shall go to leeward again, to settle
about Bolabola, and the adjacent islands. The Herald
and Pandora are gone to leeward surveying. The Spy
is at Valparaiso, but expects to take the s►a:ion of the
Basilisk at Oahu. The Salainan&r is at Bolabola. The
Admiral and family are all well. The Durham store-

ship, with supplies, for ns. has a great deal of her cargo
damaged by water, having had a bad passage round
Cape Horn."— Times.

LANCASHIRE AND YORKSHIRE
NORTH-EASTERN RAILWAY, FROM SKIP-
TON TO YORK.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Stu,—Knowing so well that you are at all times most
.anxious to correct any error that may appear in your
columns, I beg to call your attention to the notice [:.
various railway and other companies which appeared in
your paper on Monday last, and vs hich you style
"Bubble and Quixotic." In this list, lam surprised to
find the name of the above company. Now, Sir, as a
considerable original sharcholdi r (not scripholder), I
consider that you were not justified in so classifying this
company, and for this reason, that the directors of the
company (with one or two exceptions) are gentlemen
intimately connuctid with the district, and possessed of
large landed estates ; and that the inhabitants of the
district are most anxious that the railway should be
made, and as a proof that this scheme is neither a bubble
or a Quixotic one, I may state that the greater p.,rtion •
of this line was propcsed to be made by two distinct and
independent, existing companies in connexion with
their own lines, viz., the Leeds and Bradford Extension
Hail Nay Company, and the Leeds and Thirst( Railway
Company, and that they each wilt the necessary steps
to apply to Parliament, but they withdrew their scheme
in favour of this company, as I understand, becau,e they
considered that the directors of the North Eastern Com-
pany, having such strong local interest, were the best
fitted to carry out the proj2ct which I have every reason
to believe will be one of the best before Parliament—
at least that is my-opinion.
I shall feel obliged by ycur inserting this in your
paper.—I am, Sir, your most obedient servant.

FREAK OF FORTUNE. —A poor woman, named Har-
rison, living in Pye-street, Westminster, and who gained a
precarious living by selling Congreve ma. cites and songs, has
within the last few days become possessed of 4501. by the
death, intestate, of an elder brother in Dublin, who would
not render her the slightest assistance during his life.
EXPORT OF HonsEs.—Twenty-six useful mares and
geldings were shipped on Saturday last by Mr. Ribv Nichol•
son, from the White Horse Inn stables, per the Rob Roy,
Captain Knocker, for Hamburgh. Twenty mares and geld-
ings, purchased in the metropolitan markets, by M. Von
Sachs, of Berlin, and brought to Hull on Friday last by the
London steamer, were re shipped on Tuesday from Smith's
Black Horse stables on board the Leeds. Captain Mowle, for
Hamburgh. Two entire horses, two mares, and two geldings
selected by Mr. Scholefield, of Faxfleet, for Mr. Straus, of
Vienna, were also shipped fron the Paragon stables, per the
Rob Roy, for Hamburgh.—llva Packet.
EXTRAORDINARY TROTTING CHALLENGE. A chal-
lenge has been made that an American horse can. be produced
to trot the respective distances of seventeen ;toles, eighteen
miles, and nineteen miles an hour, on:hree consecutive days,
for a stake of 500 dollars on each day s performance. There
is no instance on record of any I orse ever trotting more than
eighteen miles in one hour.

- ROWING MATCH AT OXFORD.—A short tithe since four
of the staff crew, consisting of amateurs, challenged to race
any four Oxford watermen that could be selected, for 101.
aside. The watermen lost no time in accepting the chal-
lenge, and picked out four of their best men, who were i:eter-
mined not to throw a chance away, and went into regular
training. The race was fixed for (his day, and excited con-
siderable interest, both on account of the boldness of the
challenge and the notoriety of the crews. It being holiday
Wt ek au immense number of persons were present to witness
She match, which took pla e on the Joh: after four o'clock.
The distance rowed was from Iffley to the usual flag-post.
The Staff crew won the choice of sides. which was a material
pont in their favour. Both crews started off well, and kept
well together for the Long Bridge, when the watermen shot
ahead, and maintained it to the end if the race, winning it
by abou.'• three boats length. The watermen consisted of—
Penn (strolie), R Barnes, G. Surredge, and G. West (bow),
Tims (coxswitin). The Staff—Franklin (stroke), Howse
Taylor, Clark (bow), Sturman (coxswain).
ODD FELLOWS ANNIVERSARY AT WINDSOR.—
WINDSOR, WZDNELSDAY.—The first anniversary of the Loyal
Windsor Castle Lock',e of Odd Fellows was celebrateit yester-
day, by a sumptuotig dinner, at the New Inn at which
Colonel Reid, M.P. for the borough, Captain litakelev, of
the Ist Royal Horse Guards, C. S. Voulee, Esq., Geo-ffrey
Pearl, Esq., and upwards of forty of the brethren of the order
'.ere present. The chair was taken by John Clode, jun.,
Esq. 'When the cloth was removed the usual loyal and
patriotic toasts were drunk; the " Health of her-Majesty
the Queen Dowager," who had become the patroness of the
Widows and Orphans' Fund of thse institution, being drunk
with "all the honours." On Cehinel Reid's health being
drunk, the Gallant Member, in returning thanks, expressed
the delight lie should always feel to support, by his pre:ence,
and by every means in his power, so excellent and praise-
worthy an institution as the Odd Fellows' Society—a s,ciety
which wss founded upon the purest principles _of charity,
benevolence, and goodwill to all. Ot its merits he could
speak from his own personal observation with reference to the
excellent conduct of those men, who were members, in the
2d regiment of Life Guards, during the long period he had
the honour of being in command.
ESCAPE AND RECAPTURE OF A NOTORIOUS ROM:-
BREAKER.—Hunt, the person captured, is well known as the
man who was suspect, d of robbing the residence of Mts.
Dowson, in the neighbourhood of Bungay. He has also been,
according to his own admission when he appeared at our late
Quarter Sessions as a witness, brought up either seventeen or
eighteen tirnes in custody, on suspicion, or under conviction.
Reis generally lucky. enough to " slip through their fingers;'
as he terms it, and last week he did so not only figurately,
but literally. He was apprehended by Sergeant Willament,
of the Yarmouth' force, on a charge of stealing some fowls
from a hen-roost .at Ellingham, near Bungay . He was de-
tained here in custody until the county police took hins in
charge ; just as Superintendant Hubbersty and an assistant
police-officer were about entering Norwich Castle, Hunt very
good-humouredly bade them good night, and having knocked
the officer down, and very seriously injured him in the back
and head, ran away at a very rapid rate. He was handcuffed,
but being a very powerful and muscular fellow, be contrived
either to break his chain or to slip one of his hands through.
He has been recaptured at Effingham, the scene of the rob-
bery for which he was in custody. In thus returning to his
old haunts he did not show much worldly wisdom ; he has,
however, been caught, and will doubtless find that he has
played a very hazardous game once too often.—Yarmouth
Ch, onicle.
SCRIPROLDERS' MEETING AV NEWCASTLE-UPON-
TYNE.—A meeting.of the holders of scrip certificates in the
new railway companies, convened by the Newcastle Stock
Exchange, was held in the Queen's Head Inn, Newcastle-
upon-Tvrie, on Tuesday afternoon • Mr. Henry Glynn in the
chair. -Since the advertisement calling the meeting had been
issued, the views of the Government with regard to the dis-
solution of certain companies had been published ; the busi-
ness was, therefore, confined to the adoption of the following
resolution, on the motion of Mr. J. Scott, seconded by Mr.
I'. Hall :—" That it is the opinion of this meeting, that the
measure contemplated by her Majesty's Ministers with re-
ference to the projected railways, is entitled to their un-
qualified support; that they also cordially approve of the
notice of motion which has been given by George Hudson,
Esq., to compel every new company, after obtaining an Act,
to call a meeting of the registered proprietors of shares, to
determine whether the works shall be proceeded with or not;
some such measure being absolutely necessary for the pur-
pose of protecting registered shareholders; and that a peti-
tion, embodying these views, be prepared, and presented to
Parliament:"
THE YACIIT ROM ELUS.—This handsome cutter, of
thirty-two tons, late the property of Lord Wharncliffe, de-
ceased, has been purchased by IL Kennard, Esq., a member
f the Royal Harwich Yacht Club.

SUICIDE OF TWO GIRLS.—A coroner's inquest was
held on Thursday last, and another on the following Satur-
day, on the bodies of two young females found drowned in
the canal, near to Leamington, one of whom had been miss-
ing for nearly three w,aks, and the other from the day only
preceding that on which her remains were discovered. The
latter, named Emma Lewis, daughter of a sawyer in Grove-
place, was in her sixteenth year, and from the evidence pro-
duced appeared to have committed the rash act in a state of
despondency, from the harsh treatment she experienced in
service under a superior demestic, who was severely repri -
manded by the Coroner for her unteeling behaviour. The
former unfortunate girl, named Davis, was not quite fifteen
years of age, and had lived unhappily with her relatives,
ho were in a respectable sphere of life, and whom she had
suddenly quitted, with an intimation, left in writing, that,she
would be' no more when the same came to their bands. 11,e

Mrs. Hayson, with her child underneath the waggon, when
one of the wheels passed over one of the mother's legs,

The rain was descending in torrents, and the other men
supposed that their companizei had left the line for

did not make his appearance, the circumstance created
some surprise, but the workmen continued their labour until
they were interrupted by faint cries, which seemed to pro,
cetd from one of the atmospheric tubes lying en the aide of
the rails. On approaching the tube from which tie sounds
emanated, great was the astonishment of the men on per-
ceiving the extremities of a man protruding from the aper-
ture of the metal, at the same time hearing moans and cries
for help. It appeared that the shower had induced the man
to enter this most extraordinary shelter, and having suc-
ceeded in squeezing himself in with difficulty, lie was unable
to withdraw himself from the pipe, and hence his cries, far

CHILD MURDER.—Monday Mr. Wakley, M.P ~ held.,an inquest at the Castle Inn, Notting-hill, on the body. of a.
newly-born female child, which was found on the afternoon
of Thursday last, in a pond, near the Prince of Wales, public-
house, tied up in a bundle. Mr. Barnes, surgeon, of Notting;
hill, stated at the inquest that the deceased had been born
, alive, and probably lived about four or five hours. There,
I were no marks of external violence on the body to accoutie
for death, neither had he, from the internal exalt:duals*,
been able to find any cause for death. The Coroner said
there were many modes of causing death in an infant,
without any external marks being visible, and the jury re-
turned a verdict of " Wilful murder against some person or
persons unknown."
BrrrEn ALE.—I do not know whether the following
is the recipe for Bass's pale ale or not, but it is quite as good,.
To make 100 gallons, use nine bushels of malt, or ten it
strength is desired, 23 to 271bs. Kentish hops, according to
the required

flowers, stewed in a jar and strained. Put the camomile
flowers and the hops in at the same time. Boil the malt
and water till the liquor begins to fine itself, and that is the
time to add the hops and flowers.—Correspondent of Gar-
dener's Chronicle.
A boar hunt took place on the 6th instant, in the

NORTHERN RAILWAYS. We understand that dm
Aberdeen, Banff, and Elgin Company offered to amalgamates
with the Great North Company, and that the line to 1,,e
adopted should be fixed by three eminent engineers. T'nia
offer has been declined, on the ground, we believe, of the
alleged superiority of the latter line. The Aberdeen, Banff,
and Elgin Company have exhibited a very accommOda ting
spirit, s' far as to avoid the expense of a Parliamentary con-
test. They are, however, prepared to maintain the sup.
riority of the coast line.—Scottish Railway Craze*.
