The inspector appointed for this district,
under the Factory Bill, met the manufacturers in Taun-
ton on Saturday last. They represented to him in strong
terms the utter impracticability of the measure. The
provisions, they say, are so vexatious, that masters will
I.e unable to escape the numerous penalties to which they
are made liable. A general notice has been given of a
reduction of wages, which has, of course, occasioned
much discontent among the workmen.—Sherborne
Journal.
MAKING THE MOST OF THINGS.—A
piece of fossilized wood that was lately found in Cragleith
quarry has been surrounded by a wooden tenement and
made a show of—no visiter being admitted by the Cer-
berus placed over it unless be is soothed by the sop of a
shilling. No wonder that there are complaints of the
little taste displayed for national science here, when such
selfish restrictions are resorted to, which keep the public
from profiting by the inspection of national curiosities,—

FATAL FOX-HUNTING ACCIDENT.—LiSt
Friday Mr. Hammond, a member of Merton College. Ox-
ford, went out with Lord Radnor's fox hounds, and, we
are extremely sorry to say, in taking a leap over a a low
fence, in company with Mr. Goodlake, near " The Sands"
farm, wis thrown from his horse, when he pitched on his
head, and so seriously fractured the skull and injured the
brain, as to render him totally insensible. He was taken
to Mr. Mattingley's house, near Shiliingford, where he
died the same evening.—Doncaster Gazette.
COURTSHIP IN AMERICA —Cobbett says
" The girls are beautiful and unaffected : perfr ct'y frank,
and, at the same time perfectly modest ; but, when you
make theirs an offer of your band, be prepared to give it—
for wait they will not. In England we frequ,ntly hear
of courtship of a quarter of a century ; in that anti-
Malthusian country, a quarter of a year is considered
rather lengthy !'"
ARRIVAL OF MR. O'CONNELL.—Mr.
O'Connell arrived in town yesterday evening at his house
in Merrien-square, in his traveiling carriage. The Hon.
Gentleman, we understand, came direct from Frenchlawn,
in the county of Roscommon, the scat of his son-in-law,
N. J. French, Esq. We were happy to hear that Mr.
O'Connell appeared in the best possible health and spirits.

DREADFUL SUICIDE IN THE FLEET PRI-
soN or THE REV. J. B. 131N6LEY.-00 Saturday evening
an inquest was held in the Fleet Prison on the body of the
Rev. John Borthwicke Bingley, aged bO. The body of the
deceased was• prostrate on the floor of one of the upper
war4ls of the prison. The head was nearly severed from
the body, and the place covered with blood. The de-
ceased, it appeared, formerly held a living in Yorkshire,
where his family, who possess considerable estates, resided.
Prior to his arrest he was known in the sporting world,
in which he betted largely, and was unsuccessful. His
misfortunes reduced him, and brought him within the
walls of the prison about seven years aKo. He was subject
to fits of epilepsy, and frequently laboured under a delusion
of vision. He imagined that he saw visions before him,
and he would often seize the poker and strike at every
thing about him, calling out " Murder, murder !" as if
some one was attacking him. He had lately been excited
in consequence of a Captain Foster threatening him with
a prosecution for slander. A prisoner, called Captain
Roberts, had taken his penknife and other dangerous
weapons from him, but on Friday evening he borrowed
a razor from a person named Moffington, and shortly
after was found in the water-closet with his throat cut
He was heir to the Borthwicke estates. Verdict--" Tern
perdu insanity."

Ott Wednesday evening Captain Foreman, of
the steam-packet Transit, bound to Hamburg from Hull,
was standing near the binacle, the vessel being about 20
miles from Heligoland, when a tremendous wave struck
the vessel on the counter, and causing her to make a heavy
lurch to larboard, Captain Foreman was thrown backwards
against the quarter rail and chain, and thence over into
the sea. The mate ran towards the rail, saw Captain
Foreman on the surface of the water, and heard him say
twice, " My lads, save me," after which he disappeared.
The coop and other moveable articles were thrown over•
instantly, and the engine was stopped, but every attempt
to save the unfortunate sufferer was useless. Captain
Foreman was about 60 years of age. On Monday after-
noon the Duke of Wellinyton steam vessel was proceeding
from Hull to Goole, when she caught the sand at Whitton
Middle. The master, Captain Potter, ran upon deck,
and at the same moment the vessel heeled down almost on
her broadside, and Captain Potter was thrown over the
rail into the river. Before assistance could be rendered,
he disappeared. On Wednesday morning the Gainsborough
steamer, Mercy, was proceeding along the Humber, during
a thick fog, when she came in contact with the sloop
George, Godfrey, heavily laden with seed, and having
two casks of brandy on deck. By the concussion, the
casks were stove, and the brandy running down into the
cabin, took fire from the cabin stove, and set the vessel
pat tially in flames. They were, however, soon got under,
but not before Captain Godfrey had been slightly burned
and in his fright, and to extinguish the fire which caught
his dress, had leaped overboard. He, however, did not
sustain any particular injury, but the machinery of the
steam vessel was damaged, and she was obliged to return.

SEDUCTION AND ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.-
About eight o'clock on Saturday morning a young woman
of very interesting appearance, between 22 and 23 years
of age, named Ann Matilda Martin, was brought into St.
George's Hospital, in a state of extreme agony, having
swallowed a dose of oxalic acid. She was directly placed
in " Burton's Ward," and attended by Mr. Hicks, but
such was her determination to destroy herself, that
although suffering extreme torture, ebe resisted every
endeavour to save her life, and it was at last necessary to
place her under restraint, by strapping her down to a bed.
By means of the stomach-pump the poison was extracted,
and she eventually recovered, but remains in a state of
great exhaustion. It appears from her statement that her
parents were respectable, and that she had lived in service
in several families of distinction, and had borne an unex-
ceptionably good character. About nine months ago she
left her situation to attend upon her only surviving parent,
her mother, who was labouring under severe illness, and
continued with her up to the pepiod of her death, which
occurred in about two months afterwards. She bad in
the interim, however, the misfortune to form an acquaint..
sure with a young man of loose character; but of this
fact she was not then aware. He succeeded in gaining her
affections, and, after accomplishing her ruin,:prevailed upon
her to live with him. They bad resided together since
then in Union•court, New-road, Sloane-street, Chelsea,

where she has endured the most brutal treatment from

her seducer, having been left for days without the common
necessaries of lifc , and frequently beaten in such aninhu-
man manner that she has been left lying insensible on the
floor, weltering in her blood. The disgrace she had
brought upon her family prevented her from applying to
any of her relatives, and she bad silently borne this state
of excessive misery until her sufferings bad wrought up
her feelings to a state of frenzied distraction, and induced
her to form the resolution of ending her existence by sui-
cide. The young woman is still covered with the marks
of the ill-treatment she has received.—Dispettch.
