is beyond all measure exaggerated ; be is exceedingly anxious to be

Last Sunday the daughter of Colonel MURRAY
M‘G REGOR was carried off the Spa by an English Of-
ficer, and although a hot pursuit was commenced
within half an hour of the elopement, the fugitives
must have gained the coast, and crossed the sea to
Scotland. Onc patty of the pursuers arrived here on
Tuesday morning, and with the assistance of the Police
searched the steam boat, then about to sail for London,
but no trace of the lovers was found.—Notterdam Paper.
The Frankfort Papers notice a singular instance of
presence of mind in a watchman. At the fall of the
steeple of Limbers, the man, who was in the gallery,
snatched up his speaking trumpet, and warned the
people of the approaching accident, by which a great
many were saved.
Friday evening, as Messrs. Lowry and Stephens, soli-
citors, Mr. Ralph Young, hardwareman, and Mr. Geo.
Pseay, cabinet-maker, were returning from Morpeth to

dyke and was overturned. Mr. Stephens was severely
hurt, and is exceedingly ill; Mr. Lowry had his collar
bone broken ; Mr. Reay's face received considerable in

Cottoxen's IFtwasts.—Friday night an inquest was
held at the Scotch Arms Inn, in Newcastle, before BEN-
JAPAIN Tou.octi, Esq. coroner, on the body of Juhn
Dansna, a chi:d five years of age, whose death was
occasioned by a carriage passing over him. It appears
that on the Monday preceding, two boys, one of them,
the deceased, son of a post boy at the Turk's Head, and
the ether son of the ostler at the same inn, went toge-
ther on a grey horse to the pant at Warn Crook. Hay-
lox given their horse water, they were just setting out
on their return when a phaeton, driven by a son of Sir
CHARLES LORAINE, came down the street at consider.
able speed. According to one of the witnesses, the car-
riage horses came in contact with the animal the boys
were riding on; according to others, the young Gen-
tleman who drove the vehicle struck it with his whip to
get out of the way, but at any rate the boys fell off, and
one of them received su(h injury from the carriage
passing over him as to occasion his death, which the
Coroner's Jury have said was accidental.
Tuesday at Inquest was held at the Anchor and
Hope, in Great Chadotte•street, Blackfriars-road, on
the body of Mr. Townsend, a Sheriff's Officer. On
Monday morning the deceased went to make a caption
of a person in Barrett-street, Vauxhall, accompanied
by a Solicitor's clerk, to identify the man. He had en-
tered the house, but discovered that the defendant had
escaped by the back premises, and on leaving the
house he fell at the threshold in the fore-court. Mr.
Wm. Thompson, surgeon, of Lambeth-walk, stated that
he opened a vein, but to no purpose, and that the de-
ceased died a natural death.—Verdict accordingly.
Tuesday se'nnight an Inquest was held at the Shoulder
of Mutton puulic house, Leeds, upon the body of Chas.
Stewart, a wandering mendicant, who hanged himself
in a fit of passion, produced by the bugs which dis-
turbed his repose.
A Meeting of the C runty of Air was convened on
the 9th instant by the Lord Lieutenant; and Lord
GLASGOW being called to the Chair, stated, that the
object of assembling the Meeting was to cunsisfer the
condition of the manufacturing population in that part
of the country. His L.,rdship, after adverting to the
inadequate means of employment for them within tire
county itself, was sorry to announce that the Commit-
tees for raising subscriptions both in London and Edin-
burgh, from whom considerable sums had been received,
were now unable to afford fartter supplies, and he
therefore trustEd that the Committee would adopt some
measure for granting relief to the distressed manufac-
turers. The Sheriff stated, that he bad, in his official
capacity, procured returns of the numbers of unem-
ployed manufacturers throughout the county, for whose
aid he had received 700/. from the Edinburgh Com-
toittee ; but that it refused to contribute more, upon the
grounds that no steps had been taken by the landed
etoprietors of the county for raising subscriptions to
meet the pressing emergency.—General MONTGOMERIK,
the Member for the county, then moved that the Meet-
ring should adopt certain Resolutions for that purpose,
and a Committee was appointed, after which several
Members delivered their sentiments respecting the busi-
ness of the Meeting, and the Resolutions, being read,
were unanimously adopted.
A French Paper states that the wife of a baker at
Lyons had been delivered of seven children. Her de-
livery was premature (being in the fifth month of her
pregnancy); but six of the children were born alive.
Nene of them survived their birth many minutes.
