MANSLAUGHTER AT WALTHAM.
A case involving the loss of human life, and ori-
-Mating in the custom of " Waits," or parties pro-
eeed,. ing round the village with music and singing on
~Ijaristmas-eve, occurred at Great Waltham, on Satur-
n' night; a quarrel and fight took place between
"le party when excited by the drink they had received
t the different houses, and at length Frederick Olive,
NO 27, a carpenter, received a blow from John
34-10vrs, a shoemaker, which instantly deprived him
imistence.

Yesterday an inquest was held upon the body at
the Six Bells public-house, betore C. C. Lewis. Esq.,
end. a. highly respectable Jury. After a lengthened
Investigation of witnesses, the Jury returned a verdict
"Manslaughter" against John Gowers, and the
Itigoner was coininitte on the Coroner's warrant for
Itial at the Assizes. He appears about thirty years of
48. e, and has a wife and two children.—Essex Herald.

HEREFORD GRAND STEEPE CHASE.—We under-
ttatid that the number of entries for the grand chase
knandicaps with 1501. added), which closes on the 2d
Vaauary next, will be very numerous, and that the
;e of country over which it is probable to come off,
.1-!‘ one of the best in England.
LYNCH LAW IN MAILYLAND.—A negro fellow in
Calvert county, Maryland, recently beat a lady and
,rebbed'her of five hundred dollars, for which he un-
'ubtedly deserved severe punishment perhaps
lging ; but there is no excuse for the outrage that
,711.1 committed upon him. He was apprehended, it
!terns, by a number of persons, and hanged by the
leek until nearly dead, to extort a confession, which
did make, and pointed out where he had secreted
the money. All this, without trial, and without even
t'enfronting the lady, to be identified. ;It is quite pos-
sible that the confession thus extorted was all true
and that the culprit, so far as he was concerned, had
b° more than justice in the premises; but there is
110Inething horrible in this mode of adjudicating upon
qirne.—New York inquirer.
MORPETH, DEC. 24.—Intelligence has been re-
'seived in this town this afternoon of an accident which
bas befallen Mr. Richard Hodgson, the Member for
11,'wick, at or near Brinkburn Priory, distant about
nine miles hence, the residence of Major Cadogan.
-Ake reportt s to the effect that whilst Mr. Hodgson
lkdMajor Cadogan were shooting this afternoon on the
{,,fate at •Brickburn, the former received a gun -shot
,Found in the leg, by the accidental discharge of Major
1-'sdogan's gun. -
Tau CHINESE HEROES.—At the meeting of the
Limerick Corporation last week, Alderman Watson
it'ave notice of a motion of thanks to the gallant
rlcers, natives of Limerick, who distinguished
clnselves in China, namely—Sir Hugh Gough,
aPtain Bourchier, and Major Sergeant and his son,
18th Royal Irish. Councillor N. Kelly suggested
that, as Limerick had ever been distinguished by the
fallantry of its ladies, tl.e name of Lady Sale should
ue included. Alderman Watson said he would do so
1°11:01 great pleasure, and he read an extract from the
,fson. and Rev. r. Spencer's sermon in support of
7,3 views respecting the China treaty.—Limerick
'aper.
Cll7/tIOUS ASTRONOMICAL FACT.—There is no new
2400 n in the month of February, 1843, but there are
'Po new moons in the month of March knowing.
is a new moon on the 30th of January ; hgain on
fhe Ist of March; and also on the 80th otMarch.
We hear that a great reduction is likely shortly to
place in the fares by that delightful route to
London, Herne Bay ....Dover Chronicle.
TEE BRAIITIBS OF TWO INCOME-TAM.—The eSsess-
tnents have been made out, and notices have been
delivered that the day of appeal is fixed for the sth
°f January next. We have seen some of the notices
c'f assessment, and we must acknowledge that we are
"-onished at their contents. For instance, a person
*leis a yearly tenant of a farm, paying one hundred
"and thirty pounds a year, returned that sum, with
Te name and residence of his landlord, and con-
sidered himself entirely exempt from the tax, hay-
lug no other property than the stock on his farm.
t will scarcely be believed that this person is now
charged, first, as the owner of the property, 130/.,
and also as the occupier, another 1301., and, is called
ou to pay between five and six pounds. This we find
t° be a general thing; and we were told by an asses-
!ol' yesterday, that on account of the charges being
ade in the above manner, upwards of eighty persons
11 the parish in which he resided would have to ap-
lieNl against the charges made on them ; and, we sup-
Anse, in order to prevent people from doing so, tho
notices of appeal must be delivered at the office of the
curve yor of Taxes, at Bruton. Who will not cry
:Aluzza for Sir Robert Peel and his precious Income-
?—Somerset County Gozette.

‘PXWS.—At a meeting of the parishioners of St.
'"largaret's, on Thursday, the following resolution
rite agreed to with one er two dissentient voices
:
That the pews in the church should be open to all
parishioners, and that the churchwardens be re-
quested to take such measures as would prevent any
4,4!enfusion for the .first few Sundays." We hope that
.13ther parishes will adopt similar resolutions.—lpswick
