EXTRAORDINARY OCCURRENCE.-A few
days ago, as Mr. Butler, farmer, who resides near Whit-
well, was returning home from York, in a spring-cart.
he was accosted by an apparently well-dressed lady,
who wore a muff; veil, &c., and who desired him
to let her have a ride, as she was benighted.
Mr;.Butler agreed to do so, and after they had proceeded
some distance, and had arrived at rather a secluded
spot, the lady desired him to get out, as she had
lostlier glove: The farmer, however, declined, he being
suspicious that all was not right. 'I he fair one then
alighted from the vehicle, and Mr. Butler immediately
put his horse into a gallop. He had no sooner done so
than several shots were fired after him, hut without
taking effect. On .arriving at home he found the muff
in his cart, and discovered within it a brace of loaded
pistols and a clasp knife.— York Courant.
RAILWAY FROM LANCASTER TO GLASGOW.
—The survey of the contemplated line of railway be-
tween Lancaster and Carlisle is proceeding rapidly. On
Monday last the survey of the portion of the line between
Carlisle and Glasgow was commenced under the super-
intendence of Mr. Locke. A meeting was to be held in
Edinburgh on Friday, in favour of the cast coast line ;
but the gentlemen who are to take a part in it might as
well spare themselves the trouble, seeing that the adop-
tion of the line so strongly recommended by the Coninus-
sioners is now almost certain.—Carlisle Journal.
LAMENTABLE OCCURRENCE.—OR
Wednes-
day evening, a deplorable accident occurred near the
Stone Clough station, Kearsley. The train, which left the
station, Trinity-street, in this town, at five o'clock, for
Manchester, was within a few yards of the above station,
when a person attempted to get into one of the carriages,
but, in the imprudent act, his footing failed, he fell, and
'the wheels of the carriages of the whole train went over
'huth of his legs, between the knee and the ancle. Both
limbs were dreadfully mutilated. It was ascertained
that he had come from Manchester, and that his name
was Bentley, and he was a warper or sizer. It was sup-
posed that he was anxious to get on the train, and was
ignorant that it stopped at the station at Stone Clough.—

PRESBYTERIAN MARRIAGES...-.A2 was to be
expected, the decision of the Irish Judges against the
validity of marriages between a Presbyterian and a Pro-
testant Episcopalian, when celebrated by a Presbyterian
clergyman, has excited both surprise and alarm among
the Presbyterian body. Consultations have been held
among Presbyterian clergymen of different parts ; land
we understand that already steps have been taken for
submitting to the Government the provisions of such a
Bill as ought instantly to be passed.—Northern Whig.
All our mackerel boats, with two exceptions,
are now at Plymouth. Several favourable accounts of
the progress of boats which have gone from other places
have been received; but no news of our own boats worth
mentioning for good or ill has been sent, except that the
two boats belonging to James Newman had last week in
the space of a few hours earned upwards of 501. a piece.

he replied that they had been given to him by his bro-

place ; the prisoner was remanded to afford time for fur-
ther inquiry, and yesterday discharged, Inspector Wiggins
