After all the recent experience which we have
►ad of bubble companies, both British and foreign,
t is singular that men occupying any position in

Alderman CARDEN, held at the Man-

sion-house, last week, that such things are done,
and that men are still duped by concerns thus frau-
dulently got up. In the case in question, although
the treasurer and secretary was a prisoner in white-
cross-street Gaol, the directorate of the company
numbered amongst its body a lord, and a few gen-
tlemen of respectability.

BRUTAL AND FATAL ASSAULT.—On Saturday evening
week, a grocer, living In Chester-road, Manchester, named
Benjamin Holden Saxon, was brutally assaulted and killed
under the following circumstances :—Three young men,
named James Weldon, William Pratt, and James Drum-
mond, had attacked and_ beaten a half-witted labourer

whom they met opposite Mr. Saxon's shop. This labourer,
an industriou, hard-working man, is often followed and
plagued by the children in the neighbourhood, but Mr.
Saxon was ind'gnant to see three young men attack and
and called them by some opprobrious name. The

that the wretched woman sat down at the pit's mouth,
and the child being taken in convulsions, it died, and then

and the jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict
of guilty, and she was sentenced to death, without any
hope of mercy. The prisoner was a most wretched look-
ing object, and appeared in the greatest distress during
the.whole of the trial.
