CARLISLE MAIL.—An Iriverleithen Corre-

the late arrival of the Carlisle Mail, states, that were the
new road by Inverleithen completed, seven miles would be
saved in the length of the line, and that the principal ob-

At a public-house in this town a curious cir-

offered to sell knives cheap, and an Irishman said he would
purchase. On this the seller went out and brought in a
package, with a pattern knife outside, „received the money,
and departed. The Irishman soon after proceeded to un-
wrap his purchase, when to his astonishment he found the
gross of knives, as he supposed, nothing less than a piece of
brick.—Sheffield Mercury,

FORGERY.—We regret to state that the Ma-
gistrates of Sculcoates, have been occupied, during the put
week, in investigating a charge of forgery of an extensive
character. The individual implicated in the proceeding, it
appears, has absconded, and is probably before this time
beyond the reach of justice. We have heard that he for.
merly carried on business in a town in Lincolnshire, but
that of late he has resided in Hull. We have not heard
the amount of these imputed forgeries.—Leeds Mercury.

On Monday week two young men discovered
in a ditch near Blake's Bridge, a bundle, which proved to
be the body of a full grown male infant, sewed up in flannel,

which had taken place, it was supposed to have been
born upwards of a fortnight. No evidence being adduced,
the Jury returned a verdict—Found in a ditch.—Berks
Chronicle.

The resurrectionists are very busy ip various
parts of this district, and it requires uncommon vigilance
to thwart them of their object. In one church-yard they
arc obliged to maintain a constant guard of two or three
persons. In another, where less vigilance, it would seem,
is displayed, they had reached a grave, and, under the im-
pression that it was a recent one, they commenced opera-
tions, and succeeded in raising a coffin, which contained
only a skeleton.— Glasgow Free Press.
DREADFUL ACCIDENT IN CONSEQUENCE
OF FIRING A CANNON...7-0a Saturday night last, as three
boys belonging to Dalkeith Foundrywere in the act of
iring a cannon, it burst and struck one of them on the head
with such violence as to fracture his skull, and though me-
dical aid was promptly obtained it was of no avail. The
poor boy lingered is great agony, and died on tht Monday
night, about forty-eight hours after the melancholy acci-
dent happened. He was a fine boy, and almost the sole
support of his aged mother.—Scotsman.

ACCIDENT AT LIBBERTON.---011 Monday
night, a body-suatcher was apprehended by the watchman
of Libberton church-yard and his companion, in the act of
opening a grave, and next day handed over to the Sheriff.
On the ensuing night several parishioners, who had been
in town attending the precognition, assenibled in the watch-
house within the boundaries of the burying ground, to
discuss the matter ; and so earnestly were they occupied in
conversation, that it was not observed that one of them,
HENRY PENNvceicx, had left the party. Shortly after-
wards he was followed by another, who, observing a dusky
figure standing at the end of the watch-house, hastily re-
turned, and gave an alarm that another resurrection man
was in the yard. Firmly impressed with this idea, he
snatched up a loaded gun, ran to the door, and instantly
levelled it at the supposed intruder, who pacifically said,
Surely you'll not shoot me ?" but the words had scarcely
escaped his lips cre he received the contents in his breast.
It was vow,when too late, discovered that the unfortunate
man was PENNY cuicic ; and that a friend's life had been
all but sacrificed instead of that of a sacrilegious deprechtor.
Although PENNYCUicx's wound was considered dangerous,
hopes were entertained of his recovery,-.Cakdonian
