THE QUEEN DOWAGER AT THE LAKES

Bowness,Westmorland, July 26,_1840

Great preparations have been making at this place for
some days past for the reception of her Majesty the Queen
Dowager. ✓Thursday last was the day originally fixed for her
arrival, which was afterwards postponed till Friday. At five
o'clock in the afternoon of that day her Majesty, accompanied.
by Lord Howe, the Earl of Sheffield, the Earl of Denbigh,
the Duchess of Saxe Weimar, the Countess of Sheffield, Lady
Georgiana Curzon, Lady Mary Fielding, and a numerous
suite, arrived at the White Lion Hotel, having been escorted
from Newly-bridge by the Ulverston Yeomanry Cavalry, com-
manded by Captain Richardson. As she passed through the
triumphal arches which had been erected in various parts of
the village, and on her arrival at the White Lion, she was
loudly and most heartily cheered by-the crowd of persons
who had assembled to meet her. Her Majesty .and suite
dined at six o'clock, and at seven she walked out with her
suite and the Rev: R. P. Graves, the clergyman of Bowness,
by the side of Windermere, down to the bay, and thence
round by the Crown Hotel and the anew school. With the
view of the lake and surrounding scenery from the two last
mentioned places, she appeared greatly delighted, and spoke
of them in the highest terms of admiration. She returned to
the White Lion about eight o'clock. The following morning
(Saturday), about ten o'clock, sheleft the White Lion for the
purpose of visiting the residence of Mrs. Bolton, of Storrs-
hall, which is situated farther down the lake. She walked
down from the hotel accompanied by her suite, and a number
of the principal families of the neighbourhood, to the lake
side, where a small yacht, handsomely fitted up, with an
awning and other necessary accommodations, had been pre-
pared for her. She was most respectfully saluted as she passed
along, and that part of the lake at which she went on board
was crowded with yachts and small boats, loaded with pas-
sengers, and splendidly decorated with crimson and other
coloured flags. Among the yachts we observed the Victoria,
belonging to Captain Hamilton ; the Nautilus, belonging to
Hornby Roughsedge, Esq. ; the North Star, the property of
Mark Beaufoy, Esq. ; the Midge, belonging to Wood,
Esq. ; the Wave, the Rover, and several others. As the boat
left the shore her Majesty was saluted with three hearty
cheers, the Bowness band playing " God save the Queen.
Her Majesty, having partaken of a splendid cold collation at
Storrs-hall, returned to Bowness between five and six in the
afternoon. In the evening upwards of 500 children were re-
galed with tea, buns, &c., in the space in front of the White
Lion—a scene with which her Majesty appeared-to be greatly
delighted. The following day (Sunday) her Majesty attended
Divine service at the church of Bowness, when an excellent
and appropriate sermon was preached by the Rev. R. P.
Graves, of Bowness. To-morrow (Monday), she proceeds
to pay a visit to some of the other lakes in the vicinity, and,
it is understood, will proceed to the south on Tuesday or
Wednesday.

THEFTS BY BOATMEN.-A NOVE
•SAVINGS' BANK.

On Saturday morning last, one of the borough police
observed a boatman carrying a basket in the street; and, his
suspicions being excited, the officer watched the man take it
to the house, whither he immediately followed him, and de-
manded to examine the contents of the basket. It was quite
full of banks of yarn, which the man, whose name is White,
said be had brought out of Yorkshire to Manchester to be
dyed. As he stated he bad no more yarn, the policeman
searched the room ; and behind the head of the bed, in which
another man named Rolls, the occupant of the tenement,
was lying, he found six hanks of similar yarn. The police-
man accordingly conveyed both men to the police-office, and
Inspector Green there asked 'White it he was working iu any
boat. White said he was employed in the service of the
Merchants' Company, in a boat called the Gypsey, which
was lying in the canal basin. Green went to the boat, and
found that part of its cargo had been a number of bales of
yarn, of a precisely similar quality and description to that
found in the possession of the prisoners. Ten of the bales
had evidently been cut open at one end or corner of the bale„
and sewed up again with some twine of a darker colour or
more dirty hue than the rest ; and from that part of the
bales a bundle or two of yarn had, to all appearance, been
abstracted. On searching further, Green found some of the
dirty twine and a packing-needle in the captain's cupboard.
He took a sample from several of the bales, and it appa-
rently corresponded, in every respect, with the yarn
found on the prisoners. ' He next searched the boat
narrowly, and found somewhere in the cabin a small
bag containing 15 soya., and some silver; and in the
bottom part of the boat, amongst some lumber, potatoes, &c.
was a short piece of spar, or what is called a batten-end,
which attracted Green's attention. He found it so heavy,
that he was lad to scrutinize it rather closely. It was in two
pieces (as if it had been split longitudinally), neatly joined
together ; but having separated them, Green found a large
hollow scooped in the middle, nicely lined with raw cotton ;
and in the midst of the cotton, snugly lay no fewer than
sixty-eight sovereigns: These were so neatly packed and
padded in this nautical savings' bank, that no clinking be-
trayed the secret of the internal value of this bit of wood,
which was just the sort of thing a lad would have been tempted
to lay hands on to make a miniature boat. Before Green left
the wharf with his prize, he saw every bale weighed. The
prisoners were brought up at the Borough Court on Monday
morning, when these facts were stated, and the yarn and the
boatman's cash box were produced. The latter excited much
curiosity, as its golden store in a nest of cotton was exhibited
to the magistrate. A gentleman in the employ of the Mer-
chants' Company, to whom the boat belongs, stated that the
Gipsy had brought to this town, from Sowerby Bridge, 20
bales of yarn, consigned by Messrs. Gills and Denton, of
Baildon, near Bradford, to Messrs. Worthington and Co. car-
riers, to be forwarded to Kidderminster. In the transit witness
considered these goods to be the property of the Merchants'
Company, to whom they were entrusted. On re-weighing
the bales, after the prisoner's apprehension, three of them
showed a deficiency of weight as compared with that on the
bill of consignment. The bales Nos. 9745, 9214, and 9731,
were respectively 21b. short of the weight as per consignment
note ; and the last specified bale was wetted in getting it out
of the boat and upon the wharf, so that if it had been re-
weighed dry, its deficiency would have been greater by 11b.
Another bale was deficient, though it appeared to have been
wetted intentionally on board the boat, to give it additional
weight ; and witness said it was no unfrequent thing for boat-
men, when any portion of bale goods had been abstracted, to
pour water on the bales to conceal the deficiency of weight ;
but, notwithstanding, this bale was reweighed in that state, it
was deficient of the weight stated. The goods were weighed
at Sowerby Bridge, and immediately afterwards put into the
boat. Witness stated that White had been in the employ of
the Merchants' Company a number of years (some other
person stated twelve years ;) that he and his son were both
employed on board the boat, the former having earned for the
last eighteen months 225. a week, and the son 15s. a week ;
so that they were together in the receipt of 375. weekly, and
might have as much money of their own as was found in the
boat. As there was no party to give evidence as to the state
and weight of the bales when put on board at Sowerby
Bridge, nor any witness conversant with yarns, to speak to
the perfect identity of that found on the prisoners with that
contained in the bales, both the prisoners were remanded to
this day, and the police retain present possession of the 81
00w:reigns and silver.—Manchester Guardian.

DEATH OP THt EARL OF DURHAM.

The following communication, announcing
,the death of the
Earl of Durham, has been received from Cowes, in the Isle
of Wight _ _

COWEs, JULY 28.—From the hour of his lordship's arrival
at Cowes there appeared to be no hopes of his recovery, and
he has been daily getting weaker, but his medical attendants
considered he was not in immediate danger—that the acute
disease bad changed into the chronic; indeed, he had no
medical man in attendance for some days, and his amiable
lady and family had been lulled into a false security. His
lordship had not eaten anything for a week past, excepting a
little fruit, and had taken only beef tea. On Sunday and
Monday he did not rise even to have his bed made ; his lady
was his sole and constant attendant night and day ; no one
even went into his room. His lordship bad taken a great
fancy to the town, and to the last was anxious to purchase or
take on a lease of fourteen or twenty years a large house for
his family, and Mr. Moore had applied to the Earl of Belfast,
Sir Thomas Tapered, Mrs. Goodwin, and others, for that
purpose, his lordship considering himself better, and that he
would recover. At five o'clock this morning he was taken
worse, and Mr. C. Day was for the first time called in ; he
attended immediately, and pronounced him dying—that he
could not live five hours. At ten minutes past nine his lord-
ship expired. It was a terrible and unexpected blow to his
lady and children, for if ever a husband was Boated on by an
amiable and affectionate wife it was John George Lambton,
Earl of Durham. Lord Lambton was sent for to his father
a few minutes before he died. His lordship's daughters were
also with Lady Durham. The whole family are in the great-
est distress.

Sussex

John Lambton, Earl of Durham, Viscount Lambton, and
Baron Durham, of the city of Durham, in the peerage of the
United Kingdom, was born 12th April, 1792, and married
first, the Ist of January, 1812, Miss Harriet Cholmondeley,
who died in May, 1815 ; and secondly, Lady Louisa Eliza-
beth Grey, eldest daughter of the Earl and Countess Grey.
His lordship had issue by his first marriage three daughters,
all of whom are dead ; and by his second, five children, two
sons, and three daughters. His second son, George Freder-
ick Viscount Lambton, (the Hon. Charles William, his eld-
est son having died at the age of thirteen), succeeds to the
family honours. The ladies Mary, Emily, and Alice Lamb-
ton, were born on the Bth May, 1817, 17th May, 1823, and
16th April, 1831. The deceased earl was the son of the late
William Henry Lambton, Esq., and Lady Anne Villiers,
daughter of the fourth Earl of Jersey. His lordship has two
brothers and one sister—namely, Mr. W. H. Lambton, mar-
ried to Miss C. Ellison in 1824 ; Mrs. Cavendish, lady of the
Hon. Col. Cavendish, equerry to her majesty ; and Mr.
Hedworth Lambton, M.P., married in 1835 to Miss Bushe.
The deceased was lord privy seal from 1830 to 1833, and as
most of our readers are aware, was subsequently British am-
bassador at the court of St. Petersburgh, and lord high com-
missioner of Canada in 1838. He was a privy councillor, h
G. C. 8., and knight of the foreign orders of St. An-
drew, St. Alexander Newsky, St. Anne, and the White.
Eagle of Russia ; Leopold of Belgium, and the Saviour of
Greece. In addition to the above, he was high steward of

INCENDIARISM AT BLACKBURN

ATTEMPT TO BURN DOWN MESSRS. W. AND T. TURNER'S
MILL-THE FIRE AT MESSRS. LIVESEY AND RODGETT'S

MILL.
It is with very great pain we make an announcement which
cannot fail to fill with alarm the public generally, and espe-
cially that important part of the public whose property is
invested in the staple manufacture of this county. Within
the last six-and-thirty hours circumstances have transpired,
which leave no reasonable ground for doubt that the fiendish
spirit of incendiarism is at work amongst the boys employed
in the cotton mills in this town. Two or three cases of at-
tempts to set fire to factories (one of them too successful)
will probably be brought home to parties now in custody ;
but in the present state of matters, just in the first flush of
the discovery, the affair has not been so far unravelled that
we can present our readers with the minute detail which we
should desire to lay before them. So far as can be at present
ascertained, the main facts appear to be as follow :
On Wednesday last, about one o'clock in the afternoon,
a fire was discovered in the mixing room at Messrs. Turners'
mill, at Bank Top, in this town. An alarm was given, and
three fire engines (which, by the by, are said to have been in
a rather inefficient condition,) together with a detachment of
the police, were speedily on the spot. After considerable
exertion the fire was extinguished, before it had done any
very considerable damage, one hundred pounds being pro-
bably the value of the property destroyed. There were cir-
cumstances attending the breaking out of the fire which raised
a slight suspicion that its origin was not accidental, but for
some days nothing transpired which could give that suspicion
any particular direction. Yesterday afternoon, however, a
spinner employed in the same mill again smelled fire, and on
going into the roving room he discovered that a quantity of
bobbins were in a blaze. These he fortunately succeeded in
extinguishing, and no further damage was done. But the
occurrence of course confirmed the suspicion to which we
have alluded, and during the confusion attendant upon the
alarm of yesterday's fire, a lad employed in the mill was ob-
served to conduct himself so strangely, and to manifest so
much tremor, that it was immediately supposed he was in
some way or other connected with the fire. He was seized
by one of the men, and after much threatening confessed he
was concerned, with several others, in setting fire to the mill
both on Wednesday and yesterday.
The lad's, name is Thomas Clayton ; on his person were
found two lots of lucifer matches. Upon his information
three others, named William Kenyon, William Counsell,
and William Stirzaker, were at once arrested ; as well as
James Stirzaker, brother to the last-named of the above.
The ages of the four first-named lads do not appear to be
more than about fourteen. James Stirzaker is three or four
years older.
From the voluntary statements already made by some
of the lads, there is reason to believe that James Stirzaker
was the author of the disastrous tire that burned Messrs.
Livesey and Rodgett's mill to the ground. His younger bro-
ther says that fie admitted the fact to him, and that he also
instigated him (William Stirzaker) to set fire to the Messrs.
Turner's mill, for which purpose he supplied him with a box
of lucifers, part of which he gave to Clayton. The lad also
admitted that the remainder of the matches in the box, after
those given to Clayton were taken out, were hidden upon the
premises, and upon his pointing out the place his statement
was found to be correct.
Besides the two decided attempts which have been made
to burn down Messrs. Turners' mill, both of which have been
happily frustrated, these young villians have confessed
to an arrangement which they had planned, whereby the se-
cond attempt was to have been made last Saturday night, in-
stead of yesterday, but they were prevented from putting
their arrangement into practice by several accidental circum-
stances which we need not detail.
It is impossible at present to trace these diabolical crimes
to any sufficient motive. The lads talk of spite against cer-
tain overlookers and spinners, but perhaps in a few days other
matters may give a different aspect to this most lamentable
affair. In the mean time the five lads are placed in safe cus-
tody, and will be brought up before the magistrates this day
for a first examination, and we do most sincerely hope that
the inquiries which are already set on foot may lead to such
a result that all concerned may meet the punishment they so
richly deserve.—Blackburn Standard.

RELEASE OF MESSRS. LOVETT AND COLLINS.-
PUBLIC ENTRANCE OF COLLINS INTO BIR-
MINGHAM.

(From Me Times of Tuesday.)
Birmingham, Monday, July 27, 4 p.m.
The first chartist demonstration " of the season " com-
menced this morning, and so far has passed off well. For the
last few weeks great exertions have been made by the rem-
nant of the chartist party usually assembling in Lawrence-
street chapel to render the liberation of Lovett and Collins
an occasion of a great political display : and certainly, as an
exhibition of numbers goes, the affair of to-day may be fairly
said to have rivalled many of Mr. Attwood's far-famed great
political " demonstrations."
About 6 o'clock on Saturday morning Lovett and Collins
were discharged from Warwick goal. Their friends, it ap-
pears, expected that their liberation would take place about 7,
but two or three of them, fancying that they would be the
first to greet them on their coining forth from the prison,
very knowingly arranged to be in waiting from a few minutes
after 6, opposite to the gaol, and there standing ready to give
the huzza on the instant of the doors opening. On crossing
the market-place, however, and turning over the iron bridge
at the entrance of the Bridewell-lane, which leads upon the
gaol-gates, who should they meet but the two patriots them-
selves walking quietly along, as unnoticed, and as coolly look-
ing about them as if they were persons of no more consequence
than a pair of vagrants who had just served their time and
were thinking at what lodging-house they would be most
likely to meet with their " old pals." There was not the
slightest " demonstration," no doubt to the great mortifica-
tion of those who had promised themselves a capital show-off.
Lovett showed his good sense by disappointing those worthies,
and immediately left Warwick for London. In the evening
Collins, who is much fonder of display than his fellow-
sufferer, supped with about 150 chartists at the Saracen's
Head, and as was to be expected, there was abundance of
talking, eating, drinking, smoking, toasting, and singing.
Of the quality of the speeches I am unable to give an opini-
on, but they will no doubt be duly reported in the chartist
journals.
This morning the bustle in the streets of pirmingham re-
minded one of the days of Newhall Hill and ffolloway Head;
but fortunately, owing to the establishment of the police, and
the known preparations made by the head of that efficient
body, not the slightest alarm appeared to be felt by the in-
habitants.
Soon after nine o'clock this morning crowds were seen
proceeding towards the place of meeting, and by ten o'clock
the streets in that vicinity were crammed with a dense mul-
titude of men, women, and children ; it is difficult to say
which of the three classes were the most numerous. By this
time, however, the committee had issued a hand-bill stating
that in consequence of ill health the latter gentleman had
been forbidden by his medical advisers attending any public
meeting for the present. It is worthy of remark that Lovett's
intention to proceed to London and not visit Birmingham
was known to the committee' for idthedays past, but they
thought it would militate against the " demonstration" if
they made any premature announcement to that effect, and
therefore kept the secret until the last moment.
The outgoing proceedings of the day were exceedingly flat,
all the enthusiasm and excitement usual upon such occasions
being reserved until the triumphant return of Collins into
the town. On the arrival of the procession at Sparkbrook,
it must have consisted of from 15,000 to 20,000 persons.
Collin arrived at the Angel by the Queen coach about the
same time, and was loudly greeted by the assembled multi-
tude. He appeared emaciated, and excused himself from
speaking on the ground of weakness, stating that he felt con-
vinced that his incarceration had laid the germ of a con-
sumption. The procession then returned to Birmingham in
great state. The scene in High-street, Dentend, was im-
posing, hut that in the Bull-ring has not been exceeded
since the return of Mr. Attwood from London after the
. passing of the reform bill. The cavalcade then moved on-
wards to Gosta-green, the scene of Mr. Feargus O'Connor's
previous displays. On arriving at the spot the mob almost
completely filled the green. The carriage of the " victim"
was drawn up aside, and on order being somewhat restored
he treated his auditors to a long tirade upon the sufferings
he had endured during his imprisonment, the villany of the
government, the conduct of Lord J. Russell, and his own
unabated attachment to the principles of chartist-1h He was
loudly cheered in the course of his address, and the multi-
tude having dispersed, preparations were made for a dinner,
which afterwards took place in a vacant space at the end of
Shadwell-street.
A Mr. Catler took the chair, and from the number of
tickets issued it is computed that about 1,800 persons sat
down. Collins went into a more detailed statement of the
horrors of prison discipline and miseries of gaol allowance,
and after a number of speeches in the true chartist style, the
party broke up.
Too much praise cannot be awarded to the very able ar-
rangements made by Mr. Commissioner Burgess for the
prevention of any disturbance, and it is to the excellent con-
duct of the police under his command that the tranquillity
of the town is probably in great measure owing.

Our readers will no doubt recollect the reported launch of
the Trafalgar, which was to have taken place in May last,
and then a postponement of it until June, when her Majesty
was to have been present. We are now informed, that if
every shipwright in the yard at Woolwich were to be con-
stantly employed, the vessel could not possibly he finished by
May next ; in addition to which it will also require three
months' constant work of the whole of the blacksmiths of
that yard to effect its completion. Such is the rapidity of
the works carried on under the guidance of our Minto Ad-
miralty.--Courier.

willing to accede to some such arrangement. £45,000 are
to be deposited to discharge the existing debt, and the coming
in company are to complete the works according to Mr.
Walker's report.
ALARMING FEVER AT HOBART TOWN.—According to the
Hobart Town Courier, it appears that a fearful fever is raging
there. It broke out in the Penitentiary and the Female
House ur coseection. Out of a road party of one hundred
and twenty-two, near New Town, ninety-five were attacked,
and fifty are still laid up. The average of mortality in Hobart
Town since its commencement has been calculated at one in
seven, nearly twice the amount of what is generally computed
as the result of the most fatal fever. Another proof of its
fatal character, the Malcolm Huts road party, out of twenty-
eight attacked with the fever, fourteen have died.
An extraordinary scene presented itself a few days ago in
the Passage St. Guillaumo, near the Palais Royal. An
individual about 40 years of age was seen brandishing a large
knife and threatening the lives of the public, and repeatedly
declaring that one life at least he must have. No one dared
to approach him, and in a few minutes he was seen rushing
up the staircase of an adjoining house, taking four steps at a
time. Arrived at the third story, he began to call aloud—
" Lisa, Lisa, thy life, thy blood—l must have thy blood !"
The screams of the mistress of the apartment brought several
persons to her assistance in spite of the brandished knife,
and the madman (for such he proved to be) was, at length,
secured, but not until he had inflicted several dangerous
wounds upon the body of the unfortunate porter who had
opposed his entrance to the rooms of the lady.—Paris paper.
IMPROPER CONDUCT OF A SHIP-MASTER.—It will be seen
from Captain Hosken's report of the homeward voyage of the
Great Western, that he was diverted from his course in a
most unjustifiable manner by a signal of distress hoisted by
the master of the brigantine Champion, of Newfoundland,
when, instead of requiring assistance, he merely used it as a
decoy, to induce him to take a passenger on board. Such
conduct should be severely reprehended by the ship-owners.
as it will have a direct tendency to make the captains of
steam-vessels, who are tied to time like a mail coach, pass by
cases of real distress, when they find themselves so trifled
with.—Shipping and Mercantile Gazette.
HIGHWAY ROBBERY AND ATTEMPTED MURDER.—On
Saturday night last, about twelve o'clock, -Mr. John Coulton,
underlooker of the collieries at Haigh, near Wigan, was re-
turning home from Wigan, on horseback, and, when in a
lonely part of the road, near the canal pits, three men, like
excavators, sprung from their hiding-place, and fired at him.
The slugs struck him in the head, and severely injured him.
The men then dragged him into a hay-field, and robbed him
of his watch and purse. Mr. Coulton managed to get home
immediately afterwards, and was more injured than he at first
expected. Several slugs have been taken from his bead, and
he now lies in a dangerous state.—Manchester Guardian.
THE Hors.—A few, very few grounds in the neighbour-
hood of Canterbury still look tolerably well ; the remainder
are almost past hope. At the East Kent great hop dinner,
on Saturday last, at the Fountain Hotel, Canterbury, a nu-
merous party of growers and consumers were present. The
letters from various planters in the county were read, and a
general opinion prevailed of a small return. The duty was
laid by the company at £50,000. Our accounts from the
Weald are, without exception, of the same gloomy descrip-
tion. Everywhere the crops are less promising, and the low-
est duty we have had for many years past is beginning to be
looked for.—Kentish Gazette.
WATER SPOUT IN MORECAMBE BAY.—This unusual
and interesting phenomenon was observed by the captain and
passengers in one of the swift packet-boats on the canal. the
Water Witch, on Tuesday last, about half-past nine a.m. in
Morecambe Bay. The atmosphere was extremely cloudy,
the rain was very heavy, and there were thunder and light-
ning, especially about the upper part of the bay. The appear-
ance of the spout was first observed by the captain of
the packet, and then by the passengers, who were apprised
by him of the phenomenon, and it was Seen altogether about
seven minutes. About three minutes after it was first ob-
served, the column which was like a dense pillar of a cloud,
stretching from the sea to the clouds above, broke into two
parts in the middle, and the two portions continued to be dis-
tinguishable for about four minutes after, and then very gra-
dually disappeared. The shape of the column was like a frus-
trum, but inverted—the middle being nearly cylindrical. No
gyratory motion was seen, the observers being too distant to
see whether that were really the case, nor was any lateral mo-
tion of the column observed, the whole appearing stationary.
It was noticed that the cloud was not a very black one, but
very dense. It was thought to be nearly opposite Heysham,
or Poulton-by-the-Sands.—Kendal Mercury.
SEVENOAKS.—Messrs. Hill and Co's (of Deptford) steam-
carriage has made two experimental trips to this place,
which have completely refuted the arguments of our would-
be wise men as to the practicability of such engines on the
common turn-pike roads. The first journey down (twenty
miles) was performed in one hour and a-half, and returning
in one hour and nine minutes to Deptford, notwithstanding
the difficulty of ascending Morant's Court Hill. The second
journey was for the purpose of bringing down a number of
ladies, when the speed was considerably diminished. So
completely is the engine under the power of the conductor,
that during the first journey, on its return to Deptford,
whilst descending Tubb's-hill, which is one of the steepest
on the road, and going at the rate of from fifteen to twenty
miles per hour, it was stopped instantaneously, thus proving
the extraordinary power and security of the invention. The
machine makes much less noise than a post-chaise, and is
almost devoid of smoke and the unpleasant smell attached
to railway engines, to which it bids fair to be a formidable
rival. Messrs. Hill and Co. made another experimental trip
to this place, and thence on to Tonbridge, on Friday, and
eventually, we understand, intend to run the " steam coach"
three times a week for passengers between this place and the
terminus of the Greenwich railway.—Kentish Gazette.
HEARTRENDING SCENE.—At the late Downshire Assizes,
Martha Edmunds was arraigned for the poisoning of her hus-
band, George Edmunds, at Ballyveagh, near Kilkeel, on the
12th of April, by administering to him a quantity of arsenic.
mixed with water and whisky. A most heartrending scene
occurred in the course of the trial. Counsel for the crown
produced a mere child, a little girl, to give evidence against
her mother. The prisoner, remained, up to this moment,
composed, and apparently unconcerned, but on the produc-
tion of the child, the strong feelings of nature gave way, and
she shrieked in hysterical phrensy. The sensation produced
in court is not to be described. The good old judge (Burton)
wept—the jury entreated the removal of the child from the
table—the mother grasped at it convulsively from the dock
—and seizing it, pressed it convulsively to her breast. Al-
most every creature was in tears, and the unfortunate prison-
er, overcome by her maternal feelings, sank down in a fit,
which was succeeded by a second, more violent than the first,
before medical aid finally restored her. The child was not
examined ; and when the case closed, and the jury had re-
tired to consider their verdict, one of them also—doubtlessly
overcome by his feelings—was seized in the room with an
apoplectic fit. The consequence was, that no verdict was
pronounced, as the jury had to be discharged. The unfortu-
nate woman was next day again put on her trial, when a
verdict of manslaughter was pronounced against her.

DOINGS IN FORT ADAMS.—According to a letter received
by a gentleman of this city, the following notable events have
taken place in Fort Adams :—On Sunday evening last one
man shot another's dog. During the same evening the re-
port of two guns was heard—the dog-killer and the owner of
the dog had shot at each other ; and the dog-killer had
received a dose of small shot, and was supposed to be killed.
The murderer was arrested, tried, and sentenced to gaol in
Woodville. He escaped from the officers, and refused to be
retaken—swore the judgment of the court was unjust—that
he would kill the justice, and would then finally deliver him-
self pp. The justice, on hearins this, went to the house of
the culprit with a double-barrelled gun and shdt him dead on
the spot. He then went to Woodville, submitted to judicial
examination on his own confession, and was acquitted. He
then returned to Fort Adams, and to his great astonishment,
found that the murdered men (as was supposed) were not
dead, but were getting well, and that no great harm had been
done.—New Orleans Bulletin.

SHOPLIFTING FXTRAORDINARy.—On Tuesday morning,
a respectable-looking female, calling herself Mary. Davies,
wearing a black silk bonnet, and black silk cloak, with velvet
cape (over a print dress), was brought up at the borough
court, charged with shoplifting, under the following circum-
stances :—Mr. Joseph Burgess, a shopman, in the employ of
Messrs. White and Jones, haberdashers, silk mercers, &c.,
Exchange-street, stated, that on Monday afternoon, about
five o'clock, the prisoner came into the shop, and asked to
see some lutestrings. Witness showed her six or eight short
lengths, and subsequently a roll of drab silk, upwards of 70
yards in length, and of considerable bulk and weight. She
then asked for a blue, and witness showed her a sky blue,
which, -
she said, was too light; and he then brought her a
piece of dark blue silk, of which she took a very small quan-
tity, and paid for i . t. While doing so, witness missed the
large roll of dra 41k from the counter, and charged her with
having taken it.' e denied it, on which he drew aside her
cloak, but still t not see it. He then took her to another
part of the shoo, and sent a young man to stand by the
counter where she had been standing. He turned from her
to follow the young man, but, on looking round at the pri-
soner, saw her placing the roll on the floor at her feet. He
then sent for a policeman, and she was conveyed to the police
office. Mr. Superintendant Sawley interrogated her as to
her name, and place of residence ; but she obstinately refused
to tell either. On Tuesday morning, however, she. told Mr.
Sawley that her name was Mary Davies ; that her husband
and herself lodged at the house of a Mr. Powell, a lodging.
house keeper, in Holford-street, Liverpool ; that her hus-
band was by trade a stonemason, but, for the last 13 years,
he had laid down that craft for the more lucrative one of
travelling in England with silks, lutestrings, shawls, scarves,
&c., and that, having quarrelled with her husband on Monday'
morning, she left him, and came to Manchester. She had a
smart purse ; but its contents were only 2s. 4d. The land-
lord of the Hare and Hounds public-house in the parsonage,
who was in court in another matter, here stated, that, as he
believed, the prisoner and a man came into his house the
day before, and had two glasses of ale ; and the female, who
was dressed exactly like the prisoner, pulled from her cloak
a roll of silk, and the man produced a sheet'of brown paper
in which they wrapped it. The court stopped this statement
as not sufficiently identifying the prisoner and directed that
the examination should be taken against her for stealing the
roll of silk at Messrs. White and Jones's shop.—Manchester
Guardian.

THF. GREAT WILL CAUSE.—PANTON V. WILLIAMS.—
Sir Herbert Jenner gave judgment in this long-pending cause
on Tuesday afternoon, in favour of Mr. Williams, who, it
will be recollected, was tried for forgery at the Old Bailey,
about eighteen months since. Upwards of £50,000 depended
upon the issue, besides real estates. The proctor of Mr
Panton has given notice of appeal to the privy council

Maitland Makgill Crichton has published a long
etter to the electors of the St. Andrews' district of burghs,

in which he states that, owing to a difference of opinion
among his supporters regarding non-intrusion, he has with-
drawn his pretensions as a candidate to represent the burghs
in parliament. Mr. Bruce, of Falkland, is spoken of as the
conservative candidate.—Scottish Standard.
DEATH OF THE RIGHT HON. SIR ARTHUR PAGET.—The
evening papers of Tuesday announced the demise of General
the Hon. Sir Edward Paget, G.C.13., the Governor of Chel-
sea College. Thi6 statement was erroneous, it being the
gallant general's brother, the Hon. Sir Arthur Paget, whose
death we have to record. The Right Hon. Sir Arthur Paget

died on Sunday last, at his resilence in Grosvenor-street,
shortly after two, after beimg obliged to keep his chamber for
a fortnight. He had been seriously indisposed for some weeks
before. He was the second son of the first Earl of Uxbridge,
and brother to the Marquis of Anglesea, and was born on
January 15, 1771, and married Lady Augusta Jane, daughter
of the Earl of Westmoreland, and sister of the Countess of
Jersey and Viscount Burghersh, whose marriage with the
•_

late Earl of Morley was dissolved by act of parliament in
1809, by whom he had a family of nine children, six of whom
survive him. The Marquis of Anglesea arrived in town, from
Cowes, on Monday night. The funeral takes place on Satur-
day, but we understand it will be strictly private. Upwards
of thirty families are placed in mourning by this death. By
the demise of this gentleman an insignia of a Knight Grand

Cross of the Bath becomes vacant, and a pension-of £l2OO
per annum, which Sir Arthur received for his diplomatic ser-

vices, reverts to the civil list.-211orning Herald of Wednes-

THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS.—There has been a
decided improvement in the weather within the last few days,
which has revived the hope of a good harvest. From all
accounts, the grain crops are generally good—in some in-
stances extremely abundant ; and green crops are, with few
exceptions, highly promising.—Scoltish Standard.

.
A county meeting was held at Dorchester on Wednesday,
the high sheriff in the chair, and addresses of congratulation
to the Queen and Prince Albert, on her Majesty's recent
escape from assassination, were unanimously. agreed to.
" Better late than never,' says the proverb ; but after the
verdict of the jury on the trial of the mad pot-boy, the Dor-
setshire gentlemen would have displayed quite as much loy-
alty and good sense had they waited a few months longer for
an opportunity of addressing the•throne.—Bristol Journal.
GAS PROCURED PROM ANIMAL MATTER.—A series of
experiments (says the Athenaeum) has been made on this
subject by M. Seguin, who found that, by distilling the car-
case of a horse, which weighed 685.41 pounds troy, he could
obtain 4.907 gallons of inflammable gas, 30.41 lbs. of sal

ammoniac, and 42.2 lbs. of animal charcoal, or ivory black.
It would appear, however, from a comparison with other
experiments, that the amount of each product has been

somewhat underrated

ADVERTISING VANS.—SHOCKING ACCIDENT.-011 Fri-
afternoon, as Mr. Charles Wheeler, secretary to the " Ladies
Association for the more effectual suppression of cruelty to

animals," was riding a young spirited horse (for the purchase
of which_ he
_was in treaty with the owner). along Lisson-
. .

street, Marylebone, the annual suddenly took fright at one
of those abominable nuisances " advertising vans," and;
rearing up, threw and fell upon the rider. Some gentlemen,
who witnessed the occurrence, hastened to Mr. Wheeler's
assistance, and, having rescued` him from his perilous situa-

tion, quite insensible and streaming with blood, conveyed
him to his residence near at hand, when two surgeons were
called in, and, on examination, it was discovered that he
had sustained concussion of the brain, in addition to internal
injuries of a very serious nature.—Shipping Gazette.
UNPLEASANT CIRCUMSTANCE ATTENDING A WEDDING.
—At a village not a hundred miles from Doddiugton a laugh-

able event occurred, which will be long remembered by its
inhabitants. On the morning of Saturday last the villagers
were all bustle and joy at the approach of a wedding about to
take place at their parish church, between a young gentleman
of Hollingbourne and a young lady of Doddington. The
church was filled, and the lasses of the village were gaily

dressed and prepared to strew the pathway with flo;iersi,
after the knot was tied, when, to the astonishment of all the
concerned parties, it was found that the gentleman had for-
gotten to procure a license ! A messenger was instantly
despatched to acquaint the lady with her lover's error. She
and her attendants in four carriages were met about twenty
rods from the church, and made acquainted with the unplea-
sant news. Such was the effect on the fair one's nerves that
she immediately fainted. The party returned to their homes,
and the minister's son was sent off immediately to Faversham
to procure a license. He, however, was there disappointed,
and obliged to proceed to Canterbury, where he was more
fortunate, and the gentleman and lady became man and wife
on the Sunday following, in the presence of a vast assembly.
—West. Kent Guardian.
As a person named Marshall was proceeding in company
with another female through a cornfield adjoing Marchain-
park, on her way to Abingden, on Monday se'endight, she
observed a swarm of bees coming towards them, the whole
of which almost immediately afterwards settled upon her
neck, face, and bosom. The poor woman was greatly terrified,
and with some difficulty retained the power of respiration by
placing both hands over her nose and mouth. Her companion
immediately went back to the village for assistance, and Mr.
Chamberlain soon arrived with a hive. and with the assist-
ance of others, removed her to his house, where, in a few
minutes he relieved Mrs. Marshall from her perilous situation,
without her having sustained the least injury, remarkable as
it may appear, not one having stung her.—Reading Mercury.

RUTTER a. CHAPMAN, No. 2.—On Saturday last, Mr.
Chapman attended at the New Bailey Court, and stated that
he was there in obedience to a warrant requiring him to at-
tend and give sureties for his appearance at the next Salford
sessions, to an indictment preferred against him at the Kirk-
dale sessions by Mr. Rutter, for an assault.—The sitting
magistrate, Paul Moon James, Esq., said that Mr. Chapman
and his sureties could enter into the usual recognizances; and
they accordingly went to the clerk's office, where Mr. Chap-
man entered into his own recognizance in £4O, and Messrs.
Joseph Grave and Wm. Pearson, his sureties, each in £2O,
for his appearance at the next (intermediate) general ad-
journed sessions of the peace for the hundred of Salford,—
which, we believe, commence on Monday the 31st August.—
Manchester Guardian.
The ship Mozambique, which arrived in the Thames on
the 22d instant, from St. John's, New Brunswick, unfortu-
nately came without the master, Captain M`Leod, who, in a
state of insanity, threw himself overboard at 6 a. m. on Sa-
turday, the 27th of June, but was with great difficulty re-
covered by the mate, and his life then preserved by means of
several hours' chafing, &c. ; a strict watch was consequently
kept over him day and night. On Monday, June 29, he ap-
peared perfectly recovered, and, after cleaning himself, went
on deck, and whilst the mate was taking the sun's altitude,
he threw the ship's papers overboard, which was not known
to the mate until communicated by one of the passengers
some minutes afterwards, when he immediately put the ship
about, and fortunately succeeded in finding and picking them
up, at which circumstance Captain M`Leod was apparently
much gratified, and was then quite sensible in conversation
with his passengers, mate, and crew. On Tuesday, June
30, at 6 a.m., he turned out, washed himself, (after having
slept well during the preceding night,) saluted the cabin pas-
sengers, went on deck, and immediately jumped overboard
again, the ship at the time going 7- knots, and was never
seen afterwards, as the watch on deck states he sunk imme-
diately. He has left a wife, but no family, at St. John's, and
was a native of Peterhead.

STRIKING LIKENESS.—A gentleman who had acquired a
competency in the pursuit of commerce, resolved to leave its
harrassing turmoil, its " accidents by flood and field," and
betake himself to the peaceful occupation of a tiller of the
soil, and rearer of cattle, and bought a farm in Islay. Before
leaving Glasgow, he had his portrait take►► by a skilful artist,
which he hung up in his parlour. A Highland servant girl,
who had never seen any canvass semblance of the human
face divine, attending her duties, was cleaning out the parlour
on the morning after the picture had been hung up, and pur-
posely kept ignorant, that the value as a portrait might be
tested ; while turning about in the process of sweeping, she
observed her master in gilt embroidery, looking, as she
thought, sternly at her. She remained motionless a minute,
and observing no change on the rigid features of her object
which seemed to observe her motions, she took to her heels,
and ran up stairs, calling to the ploughman, " Donald,
Donald, come awa down in a moment, and see my mister
looking through the wa'."—Laird of Logan.

THE MAWDSLEY MINERAL SPRING.—On a former oc-
casion we have noticed this spring, which has been declared,
on medical analyzation, equal to the Harrogate waters or the
Cheltenham Spa ; and our readers are fully aware, some Of
them from experience, of its healing properties. It was,
therefore, with regret that we heard of the exclusion of tho
public from availing themselves of its salubrious qualitiei
and it affords us great pleasure to have it in our power now
to record the determination of the owners of the estate to
admit the public gratuitously to partake of this healing
spring. Mawdsley, where the spring exists, is situated about
seven miles north-west of Wigan, and about six northward
of Ormskirk. It would not surprise us one day to see this the
resort of the fashionable and the invalid, as much so as either
of the far-famed Cheltenham or Harrogate. The scenery
in the neighbourhood cannot be surpassed by any in England ;
the groves of Latham and Knowsley—the mountains of
Newborough—and the fertile plains of Scarisbrick, form a
delightful contrast to the distant ocean in the back ground,
and are all objects on which the lover of nature may gaze
with no ordinary feelings of pleasure and satisfaction.—
Wigan Gazette.

DISGRACEFUL OUTRAGES ON THE DEAD.—Unfortu-
nately it has long been notorious that, through the criminal
neglect of survivors, the most disgusting violations of the
dead have commonly passed off unnoticed and unpunished.
On the surface of many grounds I have repeatedly seen cof-
fin wood piled up for removal, and I could not refrain from
wondering that this barefaced insult to the living—necessa.
rib, preceded by a disgusting -exposure, and-too frequently
dismemberment, of the dead—could have taken place with
impunity, and that the perpetrators of these acts should
escape unpunished. But these men—for necessity may have
compelled them to the employment—are comparatively in-
nocent. The abuse—the criminality of the act—rests with
those who superintend or connive at the transgression.—Ga-
Merinos from Grave Yards.
FOREIGN SU GAR.—From an official return just made it
appears that the quantity of sugar the produce of foreign
sugar refined in bond, under the act 3d and 4th William IV.,
c. 61, exported from London and the outports of the United
Kingdom, between the 25th day of June, 1839, and the sth
of July, 1840, was as follow :—To Russia, 19,890 cwts.;
Sweden, 78 ; Norway, 401 ; Denmark, 1' • Prussia, 609 ;
Germany, 5,236 ; Holland, 520 ; Belgium, 168; France, 925;
Portugal. Azores, and Madeira, 1,135 ; Spain and the Cana-
ries, 8,575 ; Gibraltar, 3,561 ; Italy, 40,734 ; Malta, 3,843;
lonian Islands, 6,671; Morea and the Greek Islands, 1,378 ;
Turkey, 30,807 ; Syria and Palestine, 1,397 ; Egypt, 1,052;
Tripoli, Tunis, Algiers, and Morocco, 1,882 ; Western Coast
of Africa, 290; Cape of Good Hope, 163; Saint Helena,
17 ; Mauritius, 507 ; East Indies and China, 800; British
settlements in Australia, 11,111 ; British North American
Colonies, 36,900 ; British West Indies, 10,567; Foreign West
Indies, 31 ; United States of America, 79 ; Mexico and the
South American States, 421 ; Isles of Guernsey, Jersey, 4V-
derney, and Man, 3,605. Total 193,354 cwt., of which
129,200 cwt. were from London, and 64,154 cwt. from the
outports. This return is interesting at a time when the great
advance in the price of this necessary article of consumption
has occasioned much speculation in the colonial produce.
JOINT-STOCK BANKS.—The following is the clause intro-
duced into the bill respecting joint-stock banks by the com-
mittee, by which the companies will be enabled to proceed
criminally against their shareholders :—" And whereas it is
expedient to extend the provision of the same act hereby
continued in manner hereinafter stated, be it enacted that if
any person or persons, being a member or members of any
banking co-partnership within the meaning of the said act,
shall steal or embezzle any money, goods, effects, bills, notes,
securities, or other property of or belonging to such co-part-
nership, or shall commit any. fraud, forgery, crime, or offence
against or with intent to injure or defraud such co-partner-
ship, such member or members shall be liable to indictment.
information, prosecution, or other proceeding in the name of
any of the public officers for the time being of such co-part-
nership in whose name any action or suit might under the
said act be lawfully brought against any member or members
of such co-partnership, for every such fraud, forgery, crime,
or offence ; and may, thereupon, be lawfully convicted, as if
such person or persons had not been or was or were not a
member or members of such eo-partnershi, any law, usage,
or custom to the contrary notwithstanding."
