CLOSING OF THE BRADFORD CANAL.—The waters
of this canal, which unites with the Leeds and Liverpool
in the valley of the Aire, about four miles from Bradford,
have been run off, and yesterday the canal was closed to
traffic. An injunction from the Court of Queen's Bench,
involving penalties of £lO,OOO, against the continuance of
the canal in a polluted condition, for its waters had long
formed an intolerable nuisance, has led to this result. The
proprietors, finding no mode of purifying
the polluted
waters of the canal, received 'as they were from the Brad-
ford brook, have put an end to further difileulty, so far as
the nuisance is concerned, by ceasing to take water from
that the only source, and have closed the canal.

fog, and remained fast. The lifeboat Princess of Wales,
belonging to the National Lifeboat Institution, was imme-
diately launched and proceeded to the steamer, and ren-
dered every possible assistance. The mails and passengers
were lauded, but the crew remained on board, and at high
water the steamer floated, and is now safe alongside the
Government jetty.
A SERIOUS ACCIDENT, AND ITS CONSEQUENCES.—SoMe
time back a gentleman residing at Woitham, in Noao k,
named Balls, on returning from Ilarleston Market, fell from
his horse, and sustained so serious an illness' in co 'sequence
that alt his hair came off. He was perfectly bald. His
friend, the Rev. Mr. Daniel, offered hint a wig as a tempo-
rary substitute; and in the meantime he tried very fortu-
nately the effects of Rowlsnds' Macassar Oil. What wa,
the consequence? Part of a bottle produced the re-growth
of a thick and luxuriant head of hair, with (what the first or
original growth had Nox) a beautiful tendency to curl. This
is a very striking,' instan3e of eillncy horn the fact of the
debility which preceded the restoration. •

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

EXCHEQUER CHAMBER.

(Before the Lord Chief Baron, Baron Martin
and Justices Byles, Keating, and Shee.)
THE QUEEN V. CHAL3IERS.

In this case the prisoner, whose conviction it was
now sought to quash, had been in the employment of
a draper at Devizes, who set him up in business for
himself on the occasion of his getting married. It
appeared that the prisoner entertained a delusion that
his wife had had criminal intercourse with her former
employer, and that he was the father of a child
which the prisoner had believed to be his own.
Acting under a morbid state of mind be wrote two
letters to the prosecutor, accusing him of having
debauched his wife, although a married man him-
self, threatening to send the child in question to
him, accusing him of being a systematic seducer
of " maid, widow, arid wife;" demanded a sum of
money, awl threatening in case of r: fusal to send a
bullet through him. lie was tried before the Lord
Chief Baron and convicted, an4seuteneed to a term
of imprisonment.

The application to the Court to quash the
finding of the jury was grounded on the argu-
ment that if the prisoner honestly believed that he
was right in his suspicions he was not legally
culpable, and that the letters in question did not
really contain a menace.
Ihe Lord Chief Baron—What, not a menace,
threatening to shoot a man through the head ?
(Laughter.)
The Court approved the finding of the jury.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.---This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

ATTEMPTED SUlClDE.—Harriet Peckham, a young wo-
man, was charged before Mr. Knox, with attempting to
commit suicide by drowning herself in the Serpentine.
Joseph Bolton, a young man residing at No.lo, Market-
street, Edg wale-road, deposed to seeing the prisoner deli-
berately walk into the Serpentine. He went in after her
and pulled her out, and she was taken into custody.
A person stepped forward and said the prisoner had kept
company with a man and been seduced by him, and after-
wards she found out that he was a married mau, and she
had been labouring under despondency for some days past.
Mr. Knox asked the prisoner where her father lived,
but she refused to answer.

Police-constable Joslin, 363 A, said that on taking the
prisoner into custody she stated that she wished she had
dono it, as she would then have been better off, and if she
had a chance she would do it yet.

The young woman's father stepped forward, and Mr.
-Knox told him that he thought the best thing he could do
would be to remand the young woman for a few days till
her mind becarie calm, and told the father that he could
speak to his daughter.
The young woman, who declined to speak to her father,
was remanded.
