MALYLEI ORE

The revision of the lists of voters for the opulent and
extensive borough of Marylebone has been appointed to
take place on Monday next, the 23d inst. The Con-
servatives have made no less than 1,174 objections,
whilst the Reform Association have made 's'B6. The
claims of both parties are altogether insignificant, but
there are several hundred individual claims on the part

of persons who are lodgers, and by the Chartists, who
have formed themselves into a" Suffrage" Association.
The number of voters in the register for the borough last
year was 14,749. On the lists at the present time the
number is 15,784, making an increase of 935 ; but that
number, it is expected, will be much diminished by tl.e
re vision.

LOSS of the BRITISH SCHOONER
ORANGE.

The New York Tribune relates the following particu-
lars of the awful sufferings experienced at sea by the
crew of an English vessel :
The ship Vicksburg, Captain Berry, which arrived at
New York from New Orleans, fell in, on the 611 of
August, in lat. 26 27, lon. 87 46, with an open bout, con-
taining seven persons, and took them on board. They
proved to be the captain and crew of the British
schooner Orange, which was lost on the voyage from
Jamaica for Matanzas. Their names were as follow:
Alexander Mac lonald, master; Wm. Young, mate; Ed-
ward Cook, Richard Evans, John Brown:II-1w Roscoe,
seamen; and Robert Wilkinson, cook. They had been
thirteen days in the boat, which was only fourteen feet
long. When fallen in with they were in 'a very ex-
hausted state, and three of them had to be lifted on
board. The youngest of them, Wm. Roscoe, was totally
insensible, and although every exertion was made to re-
store him, he survived but about three hours, and at sun-
set his body was committed to the deep. During the
first night the mate was delirious, but has since, as well
as the rest, nearly regained his health. Their thirst was
excessive, and great care was taken in giving them water
at first, and it was not until the third day that it was sa-
tisfied, at which time each person had taken about three
gallons of water.

- Captain Macdonald stated that on the 24th of July, at
about two a.m., when in lat. 22 45, long. 85 4, his
schooner was capsized in a sudden squall from the east-
ward. The lanyards of the weather rigg'isg were im-
mediately cut away, but the ballast having shifted, and
the sails and masts being in the water, it was impossible
to right the vessel. Fortunately, when she capsized, the
jolly boat being in the bottom of the long bolt, turned
over, and all hands succeeded in getting into it, and got
clear of the vessel, which almost at the same moment
disappeared. They were then left to the mercy of the
waves, without provisions or water, or even an oar.
Part of one of the masts was made use of to steer with,
and the boat was kept before the wind till daylight.
During the day the linings and foot boards were taken
off, and converted into a mast, on which was spread the
captain's shirt for a sail, and the boat was steered in a
southerly direction, in the hope of falling in with land.
In the afternoon a barque was seen to the westward,
steering towards them, and when about two miles off
hove to for a short time, then hauled southerly for about
half an hour, but before sunset she again steered
westward.

On the 25th, there being no appearance of land, the
boat's course was altered to westward, with the hope of
falling in with some vessel. They continued this course
till th 28th, the wind being all the time eastwardly. On
this day, for the first time, it rained for about two hours.
By using two pairs of shoes—all they had anions them—
and by wringing their clothes, they succeeded in getting
about half a pint of water each.
From this time till the 31st they saw no vessel, and
were without water. On the 31st and the day following
it rained three or four hours, and they obtained sufficient
water to quench their thirst for the time. From the Ist
to the 6th of August they obtained no water, but on one of
those days they picked up a piece of bamboo, which wall
found to contain four small fishes about two inches
long, which they divided among them; this was all the
food they had while in the boat. On the morning of the
6th, three ships passed them, but it was supposed the
boat was not seen by them. They were, however, soon
afterwards gratified with the sight of the ship which
afforded them relief, on board of which they received
every care and attention.

ASSAULT BY A POLICE CON-
STABLE ON HIS SERGEANT.

At an early hour on Sunday morning a circum-
stance took place at Winchmore-hill, Middlesex,
which has created considerable sensation in that dis-
trict. About four o'clock, Sergeant Hannan, of the
N division of police, in going his rounds, missed
police-constable Harvey, of the same division, off his
beat, and after looking about for him for some short
time, he observed him milking a cow belonging to
Mr. Risley, a dairyman in the neighbourhood. Han-
nan crept stealthily along the field in such a position
that Harvey had not the slightest knowledge of his
approach until he was alongside, when he charged
him with his improper conduct. Harvey made some
trivial excuse, but the sergeant told him he must do
his duty and take him to the station-house, and then
laid of the left handcuff of the prisoner's coat with his
right, and they walked together some short distance
through the field, when Harvey, unperceived by his
captor, drew his truncheon from his pocket with his
right hand, and in an instant gave the sergeant a
desperate blow on the head, which felled him to the
ground. He then made an effort to escape, but was
unable to do so, and repeated the blows on the ser-
geant's head, actually shivering his staff to pieces.
the sergeant, notwithstanding, still held him, upon
which the maul drew from his pocket a gouging
chisel, and jobbed it into the head, face, and the arms
of the sergeant, inflicting no fewer than thirteen or
fourteen frightful wounds on his person. Hannan,
with a death-like grasp, still held him fast,
and his cries of " murder" brought to his assistance
two men from the farmhouse of Mr. Risley, and also
a farrier in the neighbourhood, just in time to prevent
the sacrifice of his life, and Harvey was secured.
The sergeant, who was reduced, from exhaustion and
the loss of blood to insensibility, was removed to the
farmhouse, and Messrs. Creswell and Ward, medical
gentlemen at Southgate, were sent for, and promptly
attended. A special messenger was also dispatched
to the private residence of Mr. Johnson, the superin
tendent of the N division, who lost not a moment in
repairing to the spot, where he found every attention
paid to the sufferer by the medical gentlemen. The
sergeant remained in a dreadful state of suffering the
whole of the day and night, but yesterday morning he
appeared much better, and went on favourably
throughout the day, so that there was strong hope of
his ultimate recovery. After the prisoner was cap-
tured a pocket handkerchief full of apples, and with
which was also tied up the lantern used by Harvey
on his duty, was found in the field, not a great dis-
tance from where he had been milking the cow, so
that there could be no doubt the apples were the
produce of some of the numerous gardens in the
neighbourhood. His house was subsequently searched,
when a great variety of the choicest fruit, onions of
the finest quality, and also miscellaneous property, all
the produce of plunder, were found Some idea may
be formed of the sensation which the circumstance
has created in the neighbourhood from the fact that
the officiating clergyman at the Edmonton chapel of
ease, Winchmore-hill, alluded to it, and asked the
prayers of the congregation for the recovery of the
injured man. Yesterday, Harvey was taken befdre a
bench of magistrates at Edmonton, and after a very
brief examination, the injured man not being able to
attend, was remanded to a future day.

UNEQUALLED RAILWAY TRAINS—OR Thursday
morning last a special railway train (in four divisions)
went from this district to Hull. Altogether it was de-
cidedly the most monstrous of all monster trains ever re-
corded. The number of engines employed was ten, the
carriages 250, and the passengers conveyed amounted to
the enormous number of 7,800 ! About 6,000 were from
Leeds alone, and the rest of the passengers were taken
up at the Castleford station. So extraordinary was the
crowd of passengers at the Leeds Railway station, that
two hours (from six o'clock in the morning until eight
o'clock) were occupied before the last division of the
train could be dispatched. _Averaging the number of
passengers at 2s. each—which was the third-class fare to
Hull and back, and consequently the lowest computation
—the railway company would realise from this pleasure
trip the sum of 780/. During the press of passengers
towards the carriages, at the Leeds station, a woman,
with a child in her arms, only a year and a half old, lost
her ticket, and, anxious to regain it, stooped to pick it
from the ground. She and the child were thrown down,
and a short period elapsed before they could be rescued
from the pressure of the crowd. The mother became
much alarmed, and the child was slightly injured, but
not killed, as is generally rumoured in the town. In a
short period both the mother and child perfectly re-
covered ; the infant was conveyed forward to Hull by
its father in the special train, and the mother, who had
lost her ticket, was kindly permitted by Mr. Thackray,
the head station master, to go free by the ten o'clock
train, to join her husband and child at Hull.—Leeds
Mercury.
FIRE AT BERMONDSET.—A fire broke out yester-
day at noon upon the spacious premises belonging to
Mr. Salmons, hearthrug, mop, and woollen-tilting ma-
nufacturer, Bermondsey. It commenced, from some un-
explained cause, in the cellars, the receptacles for finished
and partly-finished goods. One of the workmen in
passing through the yard was the first person who made
the alarming discovery, and with the aid of other par-
ties endeavoured, by means of buckets of water, to sub-
due the conflagration ; in that, however, they were foiled,
owing to the very inflammable nature of the stock, and
in less than a quarter of an hour after the first outbreak,
the entire stores, with their contents, presented one
broad sheet of flame. The necessary intelligence having
been dispatched to the engine-stations, the parish en-
gine, with five or six more of the London Establish-
' ment, and that of the West of England, were on the
spot. Some time unfortunately was lost in waiting for
water, meanwhile the fire continued to spread through
the flooring to the counting-house ; thence it fired the
front residence. Many of the inhabitants were appre-
hensive that the flames would reach their own houses,
and they commenced removing, for safety, their furni-
ture jut the open street. At length wet began to flow
from the fire-mains in the vicinity, and a great stream
was poured by the engines into those portions of the
premises where the fire raged the fiercest. Much time
was, however, spent before any impression was made
upon it, but the firemen continued to work incessantly,
ind at e igth got the mastery of the flames. The damage
done is considerable.

Lord and Lady Carbery have been placed in
mourning by the demise of his Lordship's brother,
Percy Evans Freke, Esq., who died at his Lordship's
seat, Castle Freke, near Cork, on Monday se'nnight, in
his 70 t h year. The deceased gentleman has left. sons by
his marriage with the daughter of C. Harvey, D.D.,
the eldest of whom is heir presumptive to the barony of
Carbery.

- ORLEANS AND BORDEAUX
RAILWAY.
This railway continues to occupy a lively attention on
the Stock Exchange. Several English papers have
copied our article of last week. Each of the two Com-
panies of which we spoke have their partisans. The
subscriptions for each are numerous. The Anthoward
Company have closed their list to-day. This proves that
the demand for shares in this Company has been so con-
iiderable in France that the Company has but little no--
cessi,y to have recourse to English capital for the de-
, posit required by the French Government. It will no
doubt soon make known to its numerous subscribers
what proportions of the allotment they can afford them.
It appears that this railway ranks high in public esti-
mation, since the shares in the Makenzie's Company are
negotiated on the Stock Exchange (though contrary to
law), at a premium of one pound a share, a cent. per
cent. profit, as one round a share has only been paid by
them.

It is a curious circumstance, for this railway, wit'► the
uncertainty up to the day of adjudication which Com-
pany will obtain the preference, to see its shares sol I at
a. premium of one pound, while the shares of the Antho-
ward Company remain unissued. These mysteries of
the Stock Exchange are to us impenetrable. To pay a
pound for what one can have for nothing appears a
curious fact, and, above all, in opposition to the opinion
of the Times, and other English journals, who state that
the Anthoward Company has a better chance than its
rival,.

It appears that this line presents great prol.)abiliti, s
of success, as the capitalists sustain it with ardour.
We learn at this instant that another new Company
is abut to be constituted for the same line. Amongst
the Directors, it is stated, are the following parties :
Lieutenant-General de Rumigny, M. Rivenaz, M. Benoist
NI. Puncher, Drouellard, and Mr. Brunel,
engineer.—Courier de l'Europe.

The Bremen Gazette has an article from the Pc-
sh frontiers, 3rd Sept., which states that the Emperor
Nicholas has approved of the plan of the Minister of
War for very vigorous offensive operations in the Caner-
sus ; and that he is resolved, if not to make the cam-
paign in person, at least to be in the vicinity of the
theatre of war. Count Nesselrode is shortly expected
to return to St. Petersburgh. It is affirmed that he ha,
communicated to the English Cabinet the decided intet •
tions of the Emperor respecting the war in the Caucasus,
and has obtained the assurance that the assistance sent
to the rebels by English agents from Constantinople
shall cease.—Hamburgh Papers, 15th Sept.
Extract of a letter of Captain J. L. Roberts, of the
brig Ursula, at Bluefields, Musquito Shore, South Ame-
rica:—" This port is now in possession of the English,
and a British flag is flying here. A tonnage duty of 50
cents. per ton on all vessels trading here, or any port of
the Mosquito Shore, is to go in force on the 31st of
August of the present year. An English man-of-war
has been here and landed a governor and some arms. It
appears they are going to take possession of the coast as
far down as Boco del Toro. The report here is, that
the man-of-war has gone down to blockade Salt Creek."
AYLESBURY RAmwAr.---Yesterday the half-
yearly meeting of the directors and shareholders in this
railway was held at the White Hart Hotel, Aylesbury,
William Rickford, Esq., in the chair. The report, which
was read by the secretary, stated that surveys were now
in progress for the formation of a line to Worcester
from Banbury to join the London and Birmingham Rail-
way. It had been proposed, in order to save a distance
of about two miles, to cross the Aylesbury line and to
join the Birmingham Railway at another place. This,
if carried out, would not only entail an enormous ex-
pense, looking to the nature of the country to be tra-
versed, but would render the Aylesbury Railway almost
a dead letter. It was necessary, therefore, that some
steps should be taken by this company in the matter.
After the report had been read and adopted, Mr. Pigott
suggested that the Aylesbury line should be offered
to the new company, or to the London and Birmingham
Company, for sale at the original cost, which was
60,000/., or, in case they should decline that offer, that
the acquiescence of the Aylesbury Railway Company in
the newly-projected line to Worcester should be con-
tingent upon the promoters of that line agreeing to make
the Aylesbury line, the line of junction with the London
and Birmingham. After some discussion, a resolution
empowering the directors to enter into negotiations
with the Birmingham Railway Company was agreed to,
and it was arranged that a special general meeting
should be called as soon as the negotiations had ceased,
in order that the result might as early as possible be
laid before the proprietors. A dividend of eight shillings
per share, or four per cent. on the paid. up capital, was
than declared and made payable on the 29th inst. In
seconding the resolution for a dividend, a proprietor
said he supposed this would be the last dividend that
would ever be declared in this company. Thanks were
then voted to the chairmain, and the meeting separated.
TIIE QUEEN'S PROGRESS ALONG TIIE NORFOLK
COAST.—The royal squadron was off our coast between
seven and twelve A.M ,on Monday. At Lowestoft, the
revenue cutter Victoria, and the Trinity steamer, fired
salutes. At Yarmouth (where the Stromboli steamer had
called during the forenoon, and taken on board a pilot for
Dundee), the mayor and corporation were on the look-out
all the afternoon and evening from Bird's Hotel, expecting
that the squadron would bear down St. Nicholas's Gat.
This was, however, very unlikely after dark. It was about
nine o'clock in the evening when the royal squadron (which
shaped a very outwardly course for the Lemon Lights)
was off the jetty. Rockets were sent up by way of
salute, which were answered by the Royal squadron ;
and when off Mundsley, about ten minutes before ta olve
o'clock, a salute was fired by the coast-guard, under
Captain 11. Windham, of twenty-one rocket., which
was answered by the Royal yacht. During the time the
squadron was off our coast, all sorts of fireworks were
sent up, at Lowestoft, and other places, as tokens of
respect and I,yalty, and continued till long after the
lights of the squadron were lust sight of.—Norfulk
Chronicle.

HER MAJESTY AT CAMPERDOWN.—After leaving
the suburbs of Dundee, her Majesty's route for about
nine miles lay chiefly through the property of the Earl
of Camperdown. His Lordship had placed his house
at the Queen's disposal, but the offer was declined in
the most gracious terms, as the royal party had ar-
ranged to proceed direct from the yacht to Blair. An
express was sent on by the Prince on landing
to Lord Camperdown, that her Majesty had com-
manded her carriage to draw up in front of the lodge
leading to Camperdown, three miles from Dundee, when
she was pleased most graciously to express to Lord
and Lady Camperdown her acknowledgment of the loyal
offer of the house. Lord and Lady Camperdown, with
their family and visitors, as well as the tenantry and
servants, were in attendance at an early hour in front of
the gate, to pay their respects to her Majesty and Prince
Albert. Her Majesty permitted Lord Duncan's eldest
son (a fine boy of three years old) to present to the
Princess Royal a basket of fruit, with which her Royal
Highness seemed not a little pleased. Her Majesty and
the Prince were most enthusiastically cheered.—Dundee
Courier.

LAUGIIABLE INCIDENT.—An incident occurred on
the Royal journey towards Cupar Angus, which occa-
sioned con,:iderable merriment to the Royal pair. A
dragoon had dismounted for the purpose of performing
some service to one of the officers and had kt go the
bridle of his horse, which started off at a racing pace
through the fields. The dragoon could lend no
assistance in the catching of his steed, and both
man and horse were required to make up the com-
plement of the military escort. In this emergency,
Colonel Kinloch, of Kilry, the Aide-de-camp of Lord
Airlie (Lord-Lieutenant of Forfarshire), set off in pur-
suit of the lost animal, and, after sundry hair-breadth
escapes, the Colonel was successful in his chase, and re-
stored the lost animal to its rider. The whole " run "
was seen from the Royal carriage, and both her Majesty
and Prince Albert evidently enjoyed the scene. The
Colonel is a beautiful rider, and his horsemanship was
displayed to great advantage in this little incident.—
Dundee Advertiser.

ESCAPE OF PRlSONEES.—lnformation has been for-
warded to Bow-street, and thence to the various metro-
politan and city police-offiees and stations, that three of
the prisoners confined for various offences in St. Alban's
gaol had managed to effect their escape therefrom Ix-
tween the hours of one and two o'clock in the afternoon
of Thursday last, and, notwithstanding the efforts made
by Mr. Dreyton, the Governor, aided by the police, to
trace out their retreat, they have as yet been fruitless.
Mr. Dreyton has offered a reward of 15 guineas for their
appreh(ns'on.

DREADFUL CASE OF BURNING.—OR Friday morn-
ing last a young man, about 18 years of I.ge, named
Parradine, a farm-labourer, was found in a ditch, op-
pposit• the Phoenix public-house, in Staple Claydon,
13uckinghamshire, nearly lifeless and burnt almost to
a cinder. It is supposed the poor fellow got drunk
on the preceding night, and rolled into the ditch
with a lighted pipe in his hand, or had some lueifer
matches upon his person, which ignited, thus destroy-
ing all the clothes on his body, and burning his
frame to a complete cinder, the lower part of his person
being entirely destroyed, and the interior of his frame
being visible as if he had been flayed alive ; indeed, the
poor creature presents a most horrible spectacle, his
body being thus mutilated, while he is in possession of
his reason. Several individuals have been summoned
before the borough magistrates this morning (Nlonday),
on suspicion of having some knowledge of this frightful
calamity. The poor fellow has a father and mother
with a large family somewhat dependent on his exertions
for a maintenance.

TRAGICAL OCCURRENCE.—Yesterday the most
painful exc:te neat prevailed in South Molton-street,
Grosvenor-square, in consequence of the following tragi-
cal occurrence at the house of Mr. Manicorn, baker, No.
34, in the above-named street:--A female, named Mary
Levy, aged 18 years, has for the last six months been in the
service of Mr. Manicorn. Lately a suspicion had been en-
tertained that she was pregnant, which she firmly denied.
Yesterday morning she was up at seven o'clock, and half
an hour afterwards, having prepared her master's break-
fast in the parlour, she left the room. About eight o'clock
Mr. Manicorn wanting her, he rang the bell, which, she
not responding to, he called her by name, but she nride
no answer. He then ran up stairs, and on.reaching the
second flight was horror struck at beholding her lying
on her stomach on the stairs, which were in a pool of
blood, her head resting on the top one, and by her side
.an infant covered with blood. Ile descended into the
street and alarmed the neighbours, several of whom re-
turned into the house with him, followed by Mr. Clark,
surgeon, 3farylebone-lane, who pronounced her to be
dead. The infant, a fine full-grown female child, was
also dead, but had evidently been borp alive and then
strangled, the strings of its mother's ADron being tied
tightly round its neck.
THE NEW COMET.—By observations at the Cam-
bridge Observatory, on the night of September 15, the
place of the comet discovered at llamburgh on Septem-
ber 6 was as follows :—At September 15, 13h. 26,6tnin.,
Sr sen w ich mean solar time ; right ascension, Oh. 44min.

MR• O'CONNELL'S-L-1.13-E- RATION.

Last night a party of respectable tradesmen and others
dined at the Angel and Crown, Seven-dials, to comme-
morate the liberation of Daniel O'Connell, Esq., M.P.
After an excellent dinner, the chair was taken by Dr.
Brady, who proposed the health of the Queen and the
Royal Family.—(Drunk with loud expressions of loyalty.)
" God save the Queen" was sung verse and chorus.
The CHAIRMAN then said he wished he could find
words to give expression to his feelings--.that expression
which every one who valued civil liberty was desirous to
express. That feeling he did hope would ultimately
unite Englishmen and Irishmen in one family.—(l p-
platise.) He was about to propose the health of a man
who had made himself beloved and respected by his
country. lle was speaking of a man who would enaan•
cipate his country from the many embarrassments under
tHch it had laboured for years. Mr. O'Connell seemed
to be, under the dispensation of Divine Providence, the
man to raise his country from degradation. Ireland, during
many years, had been in a state of abject wretchedness,
and it was ordained that Daniel O'Connell should come
on earth to raise it to the rank it ought to hold among
nations. Nothing could give him more pleasure than the
sight of so many highly respectable Englishmen who
had assembled with Irishmen to celebrate the triumph of
I civil liberty. Mr. O'Connell had commenced by oppo-
sition to the union. That measure had passe], TO
O'Connell continued his opposition, on the impression
upon his mini that it was injurious to the interests of
his country. lle had lately been made the object of a,
prosecution, because he was opposed to an Act of Par-
liament. The Home Secretary had recently given notice
of his intention to repeal various Acts of Parliament
im-
prisoned the medical profession, yet the Government
Mr. O'Connell for opposing one. He did hope
that the meeting; would duly appreciate the merits of
the man who had stood forward as the unflinching ad-
vocate of constitutional rights, and pay that respect to
hint which was due to every friend and supporter of public
rights. 1)r. Brady concluded by proposing the health
of Daniel O'Connsll. The toast was enthusiastically
honoured.

Several toasts followed, among them " Justice to Ire-
land," " Our English Friends," &c.
The proceedings were most gratifying.

A DOUBLE ASSASSINATION.—A double assassina-
tion was committed on Wednesday night between eleven
and twelve o'clock, at Romainville. A sergeant of the
50th of the line, returning home drunk to the
camp, knocked at the door of M. Wincker, the
baker, and on its being opened, asked for wine.
The baker, seeing the state the man was in answered
very courteously, "My friend, you see I sell bread,
and -not wine," and was returninr, into the house
...gain, with one of his men natnerMagnan, when the
drunken soldier drew his bayonet from its scabbard and
wounded them both. M. Wincker died very shortly
afterwards, and Magnan, though not mortally wounded,
had a narrow escape, as the weapon entered his side, and
would have pierced his heart had not the direction been
turned by striking against one of the ribs. The cries of
the victims put some of the neighbours, who were still
up, in pursuit of the murderer, who was taken, and has
been delivered up by his Colonel to the ordinary court
of
.justice.

WAR STEAMERS.—During the early part of the
week a naval officer, from the Admiralty, was down here,
inspecting the different steamers belonging to the port,
in reference to their capacity as war steamers, in the
event of hostilities requiring a resort to such means of
defence. lie found sixty-one Warners fully competent
to carry 148 large guns, several smaller ones, and a com-
petent number of men ; and expressed his admiration of
their strength and capacity. The river steam-boats,
tug-boats, &c., he pronounced capable of being converted
into gun-boats of a most formidable description. It is
gratifying to know of our warlike capacity, but we hope
to remain long strangers to practical knowledge of the
fact.—Liverpool Journal.

FIELD SFORTS OF THE NORTIL—We hope Print •
Albert will step a little further north, among our hills
awl mountains, to try his rifle at the hardy deer which
inh Ibit our glens and eorries. Scenes famous in story
are numerous as the antlered herds of Inverness, Hass,
and Suth( rland shires, and should the Prince fancy
some target practice, our northern meeting will show
him some correct shooting, together with sundry
athletic games, unknown at Windsor. On Friday
last, Lord Lovat, accompanied by Lord Emlyn And
Sir Pyers Mostyn, enjoygd a brilliant da3's deer stalk-
ing in his Lordship's preserves at Glenstrathfarar
Forest. With right and left shots Lord Lovat brought
down a couple of (leer, and with three other rifle dis-
charges, a noble stag feH to each. Sir P. Mostyn also
secured a very large well-headed stag. The party at
Achnanault have had great success in deer stalking..
During the last week Mr. Chearnley killed two, of which
one was the largest stag seen in Ross-shire for many
years, a veteran, well known to the sportsmen of that
county. Another of the party succeeded, on Thursday
last, in striking and securing two very good
stags, with right and left shots. Their sport
has, in other respects, been very remarkable.
On Wednesday evening, Mr. Chearnley killed
in the river, with the rod, within one hour,
four trout, whose joint weight exceeded twenty-five
pounds. On the Glenmoriston Hills, Edward Burn, Esq.,
of Aberdeen, and friend, got each a shot at the deer,
both of which they kill, d—Mr. Bnrns's shot being the
only one he had at deer this season. At Achnaclairoch,
Sir St. George Gore, Bart., had five successive days of
superior grouse shooting in the last week in August,
having bagged 376 brace and four couple of hares, which
gives an average of 76 brace a-day of birds very strong
and wild. On the moors of Dunmaglass, Mr. Stephens
and Mr. M‘Naughton, in ten days' shooting, had 400
brace of grouse. At Muirton, A. Mackenzie, Esq., and
friend, killed in one day lately, five roe-deer and several
pairs of black game.—lnverness Courier.

TIIE DANIIIII., SEFT. B.—The lowering of the im-
port duties on sugar and coffee has already had a re-
markable result The serious apprehension that the
revenue would thereby be injured is now proved to be
entirely groundless, as the import Vies already double
the amount which they produced in 1842 and 1843.
With this favourable state of things we have also to be
thankful for the diminution of snig and the increase
of consumption. Moreover, it will -lootT to th, futior
reduction of the duties, and it is already asserted that al-
most all colonial productions, tobacco, excepted, wiil be
put on the same footing throughout almost all the Ger-
man states as the Zollverein may place them.
MURDER OF AN INFANT.—About a month after
last Whitsuntide an unfortunate servant girl, of the name
of Sheeting, came from Loweatoft to reside with her
parents at Martlesham-heath, near Woodbridge, Suffolk,
bringing with her an illegitimate male child, of whom
she had been delivered about a month before. Six weeks
after her return home she had occasion, at six o'clock in
the afternoon of a Tuesday, to go to the Post-office in
Woodbridge, and left the child in charge of -hcr mother
until her return, which was about nine o'clock the same
evening, when she found the child very ill. The poor
child was retching, straining, and foaming at the mouth,
and continued lingering until two o'clock on Wednesday
morning, when it died. It was buried in Waldringfield
chapel-ground the following Sunday. Rumours shortly
afterwards spread through the neighbourhood that Mary
Sheeting, the grandmother, had a short time before the
death of the child bought arsenic, for the purpose, as she
had stated, to poison rats. Suspicions then arose that
the poor babe had been poisoned, and an application was
made to Mr. J. Wood, Jun., of Woodbridge, coroner for
the liberty of St. Etheldred, to hold an inquest upon the
child. He accordingly granted his warrant fur the dis-
interment of the body, and gave an order for a post
mortcm examination, upon which it was found that the
poor infant's stomach contained a quantity -of arsenic.
An inquest was held at the Lion Inn, at Martlesham, on
the Gth inst., and further adjourned until Saturday last,
when sufficient evidence was adduced to satisfy the jury,
who, eighteen in number, unanimously returned a ver-
dict of 4‘ Wilful murder" against Mary Sheming. The
Coroner immediately committed her to Ipswich gaol, to
take her trial at the next asaizes.

DR. Wor.rr.—We are informed that, after much
correspondence, and obtaining from our own Govern-
ment all the interference and aid it feels authorised to
undertake for the release of Dr. Wolff, Captain Grover a
few days since started for St. Fe-.ersburgh, personally to
interest the Emperor Nicholas in the same humane and
holy cause. We doubt not of his success with that great
Monarch, to whom we feel certain, from all lately seen or
heard of him, it will afford no small degree of gratifica-
tion to employ his utmost influence in Bokhara to libe-
rate the missionary from his perilous situation. Of
Captain Grover's own exertions and sacrifices we cannot
speak too highly ; they do honour to human nature : and
if, from the mystery still hanging over the fate of our
countrymen, they should be beyond the reach of help,
there may be other Europeans in life whow4ll reap the
benefit of this proceeding. We put the .because e
have only the assertion of the barbarous lung of the fact;
no public execution has been witnessed ; and imme-
diately after he forced Dr. Wolff to write the letter an-
nouncing their deaths only last year, he immediately
altered his course of conduct towards him, and threw
him into prison, Is here he had no means of proving or
disproving the truth. This does create a doubt, though
a fearful and remote one.—Literary Gazette.
ATTEMPT TO POISON PRINCE SHAHZADA TIMooR.
_An attempt was made by some one to poison poor
tStiahzada Timoor, some three days ago, but fortunately
it failed—failed so far that; in the manner the poison
was administered, it did not prove ra's'. It appears
that the Prince is in the habit of taking some compound
medicine, mixed in liquid in bottles ; on taking one of
these doses he felt a pain in the chest—of this he took
no particular notice, but on repeating the dose the next
day be felt the same kind of pain, only more .severe.
He again, next day in the afternoon, took a third dose,
and immediately after, on stepping into his buggy, he
felt sick and giddy, when symptoms appeared in a vio-
lent form, causing him to vomit incessantly, with great
weakness in the limbs. He is now, however, from the
provid-ntial rejection of the poison, recovering fast.
One of his servants, a Persian and Shirazee, in order to
test the medicine, drank a portion of the contents of the
bottle, when the poison acted I iolently upon him ; but,
on administering milk and other medicines in time, he
vomited blood, and is also doing well. The Prince's
suspicions rest on two parties—viz., either on a party of
four men who came from Dost Mahomed to pay their
respects, or some supposed villains who may have been
sent by his half-brother, Futtehju .
his possession, which
right belongs to Timoor, the heir and 'representative of
Shah Soojah, may have put up some one to do the act ;
but Ws is all a supposition.—Agra Ulcbar, June 29.
