DREADFUL ACCIDENT TO COLONEL LITHERTON.--
On Thursday afternoon, between three and four o'clock, a
dreadful accident occurred to Lieutenant-Colonel Lither-
ton, residing in Gloucester-place Portman-square. It
appears that the Gallant Colonel was viewing a horse in
the mews, which he was about purchasing, when he im-
prudently advanced too near the hind quarters of the
animal, when he suddenly kicked out and struck the
Colonel with tremendous violence on the left thigh,
which was fractured. Assistance being immediately
tendered he was removed into the house, and, on exami-
nation of the fracture it was found to be a simple one,
which was reduced. The Gallant Colonel is in a fair
way of recovery.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

PARIS, SEpT.ls.—The papers to-day are with-
out interest, but the. Levant mail has arrived
with Constantinople letters of the 27th, Alexan-
dria news of the 26th, and Malta news of the sth.
There was every assurance of a termination of
the Persian and Turkish differences, in despite of
rumours of engagements. _

The Porte awaits the return of Selim Bey to
fulfil the promises made by it to Lord Ponsonby
respecting Syria. Some fears were entertained
of outbreaks in Thessaly and on the side of Servia.
The Porte has collected troops in both quarters,
by way of precaution.
The salt monopoly is to be done away with.
Izzet still holds his ground, and may now con-
tinue to do so.

No progress has been made with the Grecian
treaty Christides opposing everything that
Mavrocordato has a hand in.

The Pacha's fleet had come out of the harbour
of Alexandria. There was a rumour of Egytian
troops going to El Arish, but it was little cre-
dited.

Madrid letters of the Bth mention the deter-
mination of Senor Calatrava to resist the de-
mands of the contractors. It was a holiday at
the Bourse.

HAMBURGH MAIL.

POSEN, AUG. 30.—According to private letters
from Kalisch, changes are about to take place favour-
able to the inhabitants of the kingdom of Poland.
The Emperor, it is said, has issued an ukase, which
directs that in Warsaw, and probably in all Poland,
the Polish language shall be again used as the channel
of instruction in the schools, and that 12,000 Polish
troops shall be organised, commanded by Polish
officers (except the Staff officers, who are to be Rus-
sians). It is believed that the Poles will be indebted
for this change, if it should take place, to the visit of
the King of Prussia to St. Petersburgh.
OscnATz, SEPT. 18.—A third part of this town, in
which are the largest and finest buildings, as well as
the part inhabited by most of our woollen cloth ma-
nufacturers, is reduced to ashes, together with the
Senate .house, and other public edifices. The number
of houses destroyed is 144, and that of the persons
burnt out may be from 1,500 to 2,000.
DRESDEN, AUG. B.—The ravages of the fire which
broke out on the 31st of August, in the Saxon and
Bohemian Switzerland, and which still continues,
.presented a grand and awful scene, which must make
an indelible impression on every feeling heart. On
almost the whole way from ninterburg to the Pre-
bitscher-bischther, where the noblest pine forests, in-
termixed with the oak and other timber of all kinds,
essi,
al
lynoautnugre
received the traveller in their refreshing shades, where
flaocuhri pingde
sisplantationst:plunged into the sleep of bounded the path on
death. On the scorched and ash-coloured ground stand
thousands of leafless trunks of trees, or all ages and
sizes, turned to charcoal from the roots upwards, and
stretching out their branches blackened by the flames
and the smoke ; in the ravine, formerly concealed from
the eye by the thick foliage of the forest, thousands of
them stand witnesses of the dreadful conflagration.
A letter from Dresden of the Bth of Sept. in the
Prussian State Gazette says—,, The fire in the forest
on the frontiers of Saxony and Bohemia is said not
to be yet extinguished, but to continue its ravages in
the forest of Prince Clevy towards Tetschen."
A remarkable circumstance has been observed
there, that the fire continues to burn under ground,
wholly destroying the roots, so that the trees which
appear to be uninjured suddenly fall down.—Ham-
burgh Papers, Sept. 13.

This Company, established by Act of Parliament, affords
the most perfect security in an ample paid-up Capital, and in
the great success which has attended it, since its commence-
ment in 1834.
In 1841 the Company declared an addition to the Share-
holders of one-half of their Stock, and also added 21. per
Cent. per Annum, from the date of the policies to those par-
ties who had insured with Profits.
The Premiums nevertheless are on the most moderate scale,
and only a moiety need be paid for the first five years, where the
Insurance is for life.
The amount of bonus added to policies since the commence-
ment of the Company in March 1834, to the 31st December
1840, is as follows :
Sum Assured. Time Assured. Sums added to Policy.

LEWES.

The Committee met again en Saturday at 11 o'clock.
Mr. TALBOT, on the part of the petitioners, said that it was
not their intention, at the present time, to prosecute the inquiry
with regard to bribery ; but that he proposed at once to go to
the scrutiny.
Some consultation then took place among Counsel on both
sides, and it was agreed by them that the case should not be
proceeded with, and that certain votes be struck off the poll for
Messrs. Harford and Elphinstone' the result of which was that
the Hon. Mr. Fitzroy was placed in a majority of one over
Mr. Harford.

The room was then cleared, and on our re-admission,
The CHAIIiMA x read the following resolution, to which the
Committee had agreed :—" Resolved, that Summers Harford,
Esq., is not duly elected a burgess to serve in this precut
Parliament for the borough of Lewes. That the Hon. Henry
Fitzroy is duly elected, and ought to have been returned a
burgess to serve in the present Parliament for the said borough
of Lewes. That. the petition of Edmund Monck and Gabriel
Egles does not appear to the Committee to be frivolous or
vexatious ; and that. the opposition to the said petition does
not appear to be frivolous or vexatious. That the Committee
have altered the poll taken at such election, by striking off
the nmies of certain parties."
The Committee then separated.

An aged man, named Orpheus Coote, who was
subpoenaed to give evidence in the cause Pepper v. Barnard
and Phi!brick. tried at the present Assizes, was on Wednesday
morning missed, when the other parties were starting for
Chelmsford. Every search was made for him, but in vain,
till late in that day, when he was discovered drowned in the
pond at Bigod's farm, Mrs. Pepper's estate.—Chamsfoul
Chronicle.

It is positively said to be the case that the militia
of Ireland are to be immediately called into active service, and
as soon as the several regiments are reported by the inspecting
officer who will be appointed for that duty, to be sufficienty
drilled, clothed &c., they will be sent to England and Scotland.
It is expected that the volunteers for the line will be sufficient
to keep up the army, and the present recruiting system will be
discontinued.—Waterford Mail.

CORONER'S INQUEST.

FIVE PERSONS BURNT TO DEATH.—Mr. Baker
the Coroner, held five inquests on Tuesday at the London
Hospital, on the bodies of as many persons who had
been burnt to death. The first was on the body of Mary
Aubrey, aged 38, of Wail end, East Ham. It appeared
in evidence that on Monday morning last the deceased,
whilst standing before the parlour. fire, opposite to the
looking-glass on the mantel-piece, combing her hair, ac-
cidentally set her gown en fire. In her fright she ran
across the road to the Duke's Head Tavern, the flames
being, the witness said, at that time, three feet abose
her head. A postman, who was passing, extinguished
the fire, but deceased was so dreadfully burned that she
died the next morning. •
The next inquest was on the body of Sarah Cross, aged
10. On Sunday morning last, deceased was in a room
with two other children, when she attempted to reach a
marble from the mantel-piece. In doing so her frock
ignited at the fire-place, and before the flames could be
extinguished she received such severe burns that she
died in a few hours. The third inquest was on the
body of Jane Tustain, aged six, of No. 21, Old Beth-
nal-green-road. During the absence of the mother a
girl twelve years old was left in charge of the deceased,
but by an accident somewhat similar to that in the
former case, she received injuries sufficient to cause
death. The fourth inquiry concerned the death of
Margaret Gowring, aged four, of No. 5, Arbour-street,
Commercial-road, who died in the London Hospital of
the burns she received by an accident at the fire-place
in the par:our on Saturday ni4hr last. The last ease
was that of William Ross, aged five, of No. 3, Union-
passage, St. George's in the East. Deceased ran
down stairs on Saturday last, saying that his youngest
sister had pushed him in the fire. His clothes were
in every part alight, and of the burns he received on
his arms he died the following day. Verdict in each
case—" Accidental Death."

COOPER V. • EASTMAN.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a clerk in
the employ of the Alderney Dairy Company, to receive
damages from the defendant, Henry Eastman, a milk-
man, for assault and false imprisonment. It appeared
that, on the 14th September last the plaintiff, in com-
pany with a man named Custans, a milkman of the Al-
derney Dairy Compans, had met the defendant in Gos-
well-street, and after some conversation between
Custans and defendant, plaintiff said to defendant,
who was carrying milk pails at the time, " Henry,
I think you have one of our cans." Defendant said,
" Yes, you may take it if you like," and swung the pails
round, when plaintiff took the can off, but seeing it was
not his, said, " I see it is not ours, and shall not have
it," and put it down on the pavement. Defendant said,
" I will not take it back, I will swear a robbery against
you." Defendant then went to the station• house, and
gave the plaintiff in custody on a charge of felony ;
which, when heard the next day, was dismissed by the
Magistrates. Defendant had been in the service of the
Company, but had left about twelve months since, and
had set up as a milkman in opposition to the Company.
The plaintiff had been locked up in the cell at the, sta-
tion-house all night.
The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—damages
201., costs 40s.

Mr. Montague Smith conducted the case for the pro
secution.. No one appeared for the defendant.

COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY

SHAW V. HARRISON.
This was an action brought by the assignees of an in-
solvent. In the pleadings it was demurred that the
declaration should have been laid as of the assignees to
the estate, and not of the assignees by, appointment of
the Commissioners. Upon argument thereon before Mr.
Justice Bosanquet (at the time Judge in Chambers),
issue was joined, and the cause was tried in the Exchequer.
Mr. Sergeant MANNING this day obtained a rule nisi
for a new trial on points reserved, their Lordships how-
ever, giving their opinion that the motion should have
been made in the other Court.
London, England, 1842-01-13

BAIL COURT-(THIS DAY.)

IN RE BARNARD CAVANAGH.
It will be recollected that Mr. James applied to the
Court yesterday for a rule nisi, and a writ of habeas
corpus directed to the Governor of Reading Gaol, to
bring up the body of Bernard Cavanagh, the fasting
man, now in his custody, the propriety of granting which
the Court took time to consider. This morning, when
Mr. James came into Court,
Mr. Justice WILLIAMS said he was of opinion that the
rule nisi ought to be granted, so as to bring on the case
for argument. He granted the application on the point
as to whether the applicant had committed any offence
within the statute. As to the other, point raised, that
the pretence had not been negatived, he apprehended it
would not be very difficult to deny that a man could live
or die for five years.
Mr. JAMES said he had understood from the officers at
the Crown-office that it would be necessary at the same
time to bring np the depositions, and he therefore moved
for a certiorari for that purpose.
Mr. Justice WILLIAMS-It will be time enough for
that when the writ of habeas goes.—Rule nisi for a
habeas granted.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CLIANCERY, Jan, 12.
The Lord Chancellor took causes and lunatic petitions
to-day.
IN TITS MATTER OF THE W)LSALL CHARITIES.
The case came before the Court upon petition, pray-
ing the confirmation of the Master's Report. The ap-
plication was made under the 71st sec. of the Municipal
Corporation Act, which provided that references should
be made to the Master to appoint proper persons as
trustees to the charities formerly held by the different
corporations in :England. In the present case, under a
reference made to the Master, certain persons were ap-
pointed trustees, but several of them having since died,
and there not being a sufficient number to manage the
charity, the present petition became necessary . under
the original reference it appeared that all the cha-
rities were not included, and a reference was
made to tbe Master in that respect. The
Master had made his report, finding that it would
be proper to appoint new trustees to act with
the old ones, and also finding that a charity for the sup-
port of an organist came within the provisions of the
71st section of the Municipal Act, and that report the
petitioner now sought to confirm.
The LORD CHANCELLOR made the order according to
the prayer of the petition.

LAW AND POLICE.

• At the Mansion-house on Tuesday, Captain Fife ap-
peared upon a summons to account for a deficiency in
four chests of indigo, which had lately been shipped for
Rotterdam in the Ocean steamer. A lengthened inquiry
took place, and, at the conclusion, Sir Peter Laurie said
Captain Fife was, in his opinion, exonerated from all
blame. A strong suspicion, however, prevailed, that the
persons who had charge of the lighters at Rotterdam, in
which the goods were landed, were not quite so honest
as they should be.
At Bow-street on Tuesday, John Souter, a deserter
from the Royal Sappers and Miners, was fully com-
mitted to take his trial for stealing a gold watch, value
40 guineas, the property of Lieut. De Coste, of the
Royal Engineers.
At Guildhall, James Duncan, a boy 13 years of age.
in the employ of the. Parcels Delivery Company, was
charged with stealing a parcel containing a gold watch,
value 18L; and his lather was charged with receiving it,
knowing it to be stolen. As there was reason to believe
this was not the only parcel stolen, the prisoners were
remanded till to-morrow.
