Mr. BOOTH, the tragedian, has perforthed
Orestes, in French, before a French audience, at New Or-
leans. The New Orleans Courier says—" This effort,
perilous in the extreme, and when nothing but a wish to
give to Frenehmen an opportunity of judging fairly of what
is termed the English style of tragic acting, could have
urged Mr. i3oorn to risk, has been crowned with the
mast flattering success.—Philadelphia Paper.
DESTRUCTION OF TWIST MACHINES.—OH
Monday evening, about seven o'clock, the foundation of a
corn mill belonging to Mr. TEMPEST, at Little Eaton, near
Derby, gave way, in consequence of which accident, a con-
siderable portion of the building fell to the ground. It
consisted of what was originally constructed as a corn mill,
but had been extended both to the east and west, so as to
form at one end a paper manufactory, and the other was
occupied in part by lace frames. The centre was still used
for grinding corn, and the whole was raised to the height
of four stories. The upper rooms of the corn mill were
employed partly in the storeage of wheat and flour, and
partly by twist frames and cotton. These stories, from the
foundation to the roof, with all their contents, were pre-
cipitated into the river, and the falling ruins destroyed the
water wheels. The damage is very considerable, though
no accurate estimate has been formed of its amount. It
was a most happy circumstance that no lives were lost--

ATTEMPT TO COMMIT MURDER AND SUl-
,,Dc.—The village of Wyrardisbury was put in a state of
great alarm, about nine o'clock, by violent and repeated
screamings, proceeding from the cottage of a man named
Buctatt an. Several persons immediately directed their
steps towards the spot, when, on opening the door, a horrible
spectacle presented itself. BUCKLAND and his wife were
both found, in a standing posture, with their throats cut,
and their arms entwined round each other's necks for
mutual support. The only explanation of this shocking
affair was afforded by his wife, who stated, that in conse-
quence of some angry words which had previously passed
between them, BUCKLAND bad forcibly thrown her upon
the table, and held her head down while he cut her throat
with a knife which he had apparently whetted for the pur-
pose. She struggled hard to escape from his grasp, and
once got away, when he followed her, and inflicted another
wound in her neck, and then, after another attempt to
take her life, he plunged the fatal weapon into his own
throat. It appears that the quarrel originated in a cir-
cumstance, in itself of the most trifling nature, namely,
that the wife had paid too much for a loaf by one half-
penny. MT. BAKER, surgeon, of Staines, was immediately
sent for, and sewed up the wound in the woman's throat,
which is of an extremely dangerous description ; the man,
although severely wounded, is not in danger of his life.—
Berks. Chronieh.

A tall man, a short man, and a middle-sized damsel,
were placed at the bar together, and charged by John Res-
tall. a watchman of Aldersgate, with having been mon.
disorderly than decent at a very unseasonable hour of the
night —to wit, half-past twelve o'clock on Saturday morn-
ing. "As I were going my rounds," said John Restall,
" I saw the tall man kissing the girl. I ordered her away.
She wouldn't go. I shoved her along. She screamed
out; and, with she screaming, the tall man took and shook
me, and flung me up agen the shutters; and with that, the
short man—thinking I hadn't got enough, took and
knock'd me down." So then John Restall arrested them
all ; and, with the assistance of what he called an acci-
dental butcher—that is to say, a butcher who was acci-
dentally passing, he took them all to the watch-house.
The tall man in his defence denied that he either kissed
the girl or shook the watchman.

"It's false, please •our Wortihip—he did it peatedly,"
exclaimed John Restall.
The short man and the damsel corroborated the account
of the tall man, and affirmed that John Ilestall arrested
them for nothing at all—except that they would not all
move on at his bidding.
Sir CLAUDIUS HUNTER asked whether the " accidental
butcher" was in Court ; and finding he was not, he asked
the three prisoners who and what they were.
The damsel said she was a servant with a six-years'
character; the short man said he was an honest labourer
as any going; '' and," said the tall man, " I'm in the
c)rn line."

" Then stick to that, and don't get dabbling in the
kissing line again," said the Alderman ;_" for you see
it is a line which has led you into trouble; and if you are
again found in it you will not easily get out of it, perhaps."
As it was, they were allowed to speak to John Restall,
and having spoke to him, they were discharged.
BOW-STREET.—A rosy-faced young girl applied to
the Magistrate for a❑ assault warrant against a gentleman
of the long robe, who occupies chambers in the Temple,
whom she accused of an attempt upon her virtue. She
stated that she had known the gentleman in the country,
and wishing to see how he fared in town, she thought she
would just give him a morning's call, and went to his
chambers accordingly, accompanied by a young woman.—
Time young Templar received her with great kindness, but
he soon showed the cloven foot, for he induced her to go
with him to another room, where all at once he closed the
door, and became mighty sweet upon her, pressing her
hand and kissing her.

Mr. HALLS—WeII, and was that all; did he do nothing
rise?—Applicant—He was very rude, Sir.
Mr. HAILS—What brought you there?—Applicant--
Merely to pay him a friendly visit.
Mr, Haees-.I shall grant no warrant. Go home to
your family, young woman, and be more careful where you
pay your morning calls.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.-s-On Friday a lady and
her daughter came to this office, and applied to Mr. CONANT,
the Sitting Magistrate, for a warrant against the husband of
the young lady, on a charge of haying violently assaulted
both the applicants. They stated themselves to reside at
Chiswick, and that the person complained of was the son
of a market-gardener, and he himself in the same rank of
life with his father in that neighbourhood.
The Magistrate said, when he learned the nature of the
assault and the neighbourhood in which it took place, that
he would recommend them to make their application to Sir
R. BIRNIE, who resided near Chiswick, and who would
most probably hear the case clown there, and save them the
trouble and expense of coming again from such a distance
to town, and of sending an officer from this office down to
apprehend the accused. The ladies replied, that they knew
Sir R. Brame (lid reside near them, but he is so much in
town that it is uncertain when to meet with him at his
country-house, and upon this representation Mr. Cotss.ser
ordered the warrants to issue against the young lady's
husband, and against another• man for aiding him in the
assaults complained of. The warrants were placed in the
hands of Avis the officer, who, on Saturday, placed the ac-
cused parties before Mr. Dv En, the Magistrate of the day.
The name of the husband is Henry Jeffreys, and that of
the other person charged is Her,ry Wells. Mrs. .leffreys
stated with a mildness of tone that made her rather inau-
dible, that she had been married to the defendant for about
live years, and has several children. That some time ago
her husband was obliged to quit this country on account of
pecuniary difficulties, and went over to France, whither she
accompanied him with their children. They:settled at Bou-
logne, where she opened a school, for which she was not
altogether unqualified, to educate _English children, which
prospered to a degree far beyond her most sanguine expec-
tations, and which promised an independent support to her
family, as she was favoured with the confidence of several
respectable fsenilies in this country, who sent their chil-
dren over to her care. Not having any great stock of
money on their arrival at Boulogne, it was necessary to
issue two or three small bills of esschanga accepted by her•
husband, to make some immediately required purchases,
preparatory to opening the school; but before these bills
became due, and while she was congratulating her husband
and herself on their prospect of success, Mr. Jefl•reys sud-
denly vanished from Boulogne, and left her and her chil-
dren in a strange country. 4s the laws of I:'rance make a
wife liable, both in person and in property, for any debts
contracted by her husband, she saw that she must now, by
her own unaided exertions, make immediate provision for
the payment of her husband's acceptances, which were fast
approaching maturity or otherwise be thrown into prison,
and her school ruined. In this painful situation, she set
out for England, to collect some monies due to her, from
the parents of several children at her school ; but on her
arrival here, she found that her husband had anticipated
her, and had gone round to those families who were in-
debted to her, and cautioned them against paying her any
money, as he alone was legally entitled to receive it ;
and u nth this caution the parents of the children, how-
ever well inclined, did not feel justified in paying her.•--
Thus situated, she could not return to Franco immediately,
where she loft her school and three of her own children,
having brought a fourth over with her, and she went to re-
side with her mother at Chiswick, in which neighbourhood
she soon learned her husband also was residing with his
father ; but she refrained from any communication with
him. She had not, however, been long at her• mother's
house, when Mr. Jeffreys contrived to steal her child away
from her ; and on Thursday evening last, having succeeded
by stratagem in regaining possession of her child, she
was taking it home again, when, ss she got near to her•
mother's door, Mr. Jeffreys, who pursued her, came

On Saturday night an inquest was held at the
Feathers, in Nutford-place, Edge ware-road, touching
the death of Daniel Connod, who while emploved'a,;
a bricklayer's labourer, in repairing and enlarging the
buildings of the Western Hospital, died there.
He went to work and ate his breakfast as usual
on Thursday morning ; but between 10 and 11
o'clock, be was seized with a bowel complaint,
which, notwithstanding medicine, bleeding, foments=
tion, and a warm-bath, were administered under the
direction of Dr. Scudamore, the physician, carried
him off before midnight. He was an Irishman, and
when he was dead his friends demanded the body
that they might " wake it. It was refused, that
inquiry might be made into the cause of his death.
but they mistook the motive, and supposing the
surgeons intended to dissect it, a large body of Irklt
assembled on Friday afternoon in front of the hospital,
and would have carried it away by force, if the police=
officers of Marylebone had not been sent for in time
to prevent it. They were also in attendance or 4
Saturday night, for the reputed wife of the deceased
refused to leave the corpse, and threatened to assns.!
sinate the first person who attempted to make an
incision upon it.

The evidence of Dr. Scudamore was taken, zturt
he thought, in consequence of the sudden nature of
the attack, and the speedy dissolution which ensued,
that it was necessary to open the body.
Mr. STIRLING, the Coroner, wished to avoid such
a measure, for he knew an Irishman would rather
have his bread broken when alive than have the
smallest incision made in his skin after he was dead.

It appeared afterwards, by the evidence of Joanna
Scandling, the woman with whom hecohabited, that;
he had been subject to a violent pain in his bowek
from his infancy, and complained first in this ca&e,
on Saturday.
" So long ago as Saturday did he," said the Co-•
ROVER, and did he take any medicine'-" Witness.
—Yes, your Honour, when he came home from his
work, he said to me, " Joanna," said he, " I've got
a big pain in nay belly." " Have you, Daniel ?"
said I, " then I'll make you some tav, and put a,
