months, committed suicide by hanging herself, in conse-
quence of some playful remarks respecting a pudding

made by the friends of her husband's former wife.
A soldier of the Grenadier Guards, while on sentry at
Windsor Castle, a few days since, fired his musket for the
purpose of mutilating his left hand so as to render him-
self unfit for military service, but only blew off the mid-
dle finger, so that he will probably have failed tq attain
his end. He was immediately arrested, and will be tried
by a court-martial.
The Leeds Mercury mentions, that on Sunday week,
the trunk, legs, and one arm of a man were found lying
on the flue of a flint kiln in the Old Pottery, at Hunslet,
the head and one arm having been entirely destroyed by
the heat of the fire. The remains have since been iden-
tified as those of an old pauper, named Dufton. of intem-
perate habits, who is supposed to have gone to sleep at
the kiln, and to have been suffocated by the smoke.
A MAN SMOTHERED IN GRAINS.—A few days ago a
drayman was loading a cart of grains in London, and,
whilst levelling the grains on the top of the cart, was
suddenly seized with a fit of epilepsy. The workmen
above, unaware of the circumstance, continued to shovel
out the grains till the man was completely covered. A
passer-by, having witnessed his struggles, raised an alarm,
and the poor fellow was rescued, but died soon after.
LATE GOOSEBERRIES.—The Stamford Mercury says,
that in a garden at Corby, near Colsterworth, there is
growing a gooseberry tree, which has this summer borne
two crops of fruit, of which the first was gathered at the
usual time, and the second. which was quite equal to the
first, was gathered last week. This is the third time that
the same tree has brought to maturity two crops in one
summer.

THE CPRRENCY.—The circular to bankers of Friday,
says :—" Rumours are creeping out respecting the inten-
tion of the government to take some proceeding on the
currency in the next session of Parliament. It is believed
by intelligent persons in this city, that some new regula-
tions concerning even the standard will be recommended,
at least so far as the obligation of the Bank of England
to buy gold, at all times and in any quantity, at the fixed
price established by law is concerned."
There are at this moment (proclaims the Times) in the
metropolis 500,000 powder-barrels, awaiting, open-
mouthed, the sudden spark which, whenever it may fall,
will infallibly produce a tremendous explosion. These
powder barrels are the stagnant cesspools, the breeding
coffins, and the subterranean slaughter-houses of the city.
The spark whose kindling touch they wait is the invisibly
floating cholera sporule, and the dreaded explosion is a
fresh outburst of devastating pestilence.
A hare made her appearance on the North Inch at
Perth on Tuesday last, and after having been chased by
a crowd of boys for half an hour, she leaped from the
bridge into the river, and swam to the Tanner's Island.
Her pursuer's followed her in a boat, but were baffled by
her for another half hour, at the end of which time she
again took to the water and swam to a place called the
Headlands, where she was at length killed, after having
cost her capturers a hunt of nearly two hours in all.
On Monday week, Mr. H. Phillips was travelling on
the East Lancashire Railway, and when near Accrington,
(he being in the coupe of one of the carriages), the ball
that is attached to the screw of the coupling chain by
some accident got out of its place, and in its revolutions
beat in the front of the carriage, completely smashing it.
Mr. Phillips was unable to alarm the guard, and had
almost concluded to adopt the alternative of leaping from
the carriage, but most fortunately the train arrived at a
station, and he was released.
SIR. JOHN FRANKLIN.—BEHRTNG STRAITS EXPEDI-
TION.—We stated two months since that her Majesty's
ship Herald, Capt. Kellett, C. 8., had left, Wooahoo,
Sandwich Islands, on the 19th May, for Petropaulanski
and Behrirg's Straits. Another letter from the Sandwich
Islands states that she left with a full supply of provisions
for herself and her Majesty's ship Plover, Commander
Moore ; the captain (Kellett), officers, and crew, in good
health and spirits. Whilst we are anxiously watching for
Sir John Franklin at one entrance, we still think it pos-
sible he may emerge at the other, in which case it is satis-
factory to know that he will find ample relief provided for
him by the Admiralty.
INCENDIARY FlRES.—Swing has made his appearance
in Berkshire, to the great terror of the farmers ; he com-
menced his operations a few nights since at Wingfield, on
which occasion several valuable ricks of corn were buried
to the ground, and on Monday evening last, about eleven
o'clock, the farm-yard of Mr. Peto, two miles distant from
Maidenhead, was maliciously set on fire, and property to
the value of £7OOO was totally consumed. Although
every effort has been made the incendiaries have as yet
escaped detection. These fires are the natural consequence
cf the free trade in corn princip!e. The agricultural
labourer's wages in Berkshi e have been reduced to Is. 6d.
per diem : out of this paltry pittance he has to pay rates,
•s well as to support himself and family.

THE EVANGELICAL ALLIANCE.—At the proceedings
of this body, in Glasgow, a sum was collected; aminnting
to £lOO 18s. 4d., to defray the expense of the deNtation
to Rome, for the release of Dr. Achilli. A vote of thanks
to the Glasgow committee for the arrangements they lad
made, and for the hospitality with which the members of
the alliance had been entertained, as well as another
acknowledging the services of Sir C. E. Eardley and the
office-bearers, was agreed to. The next meeting of the
alliance will take place in Dublin.
HELMSLEY.—PRESENTATION OF PLATE.—On Friday,
the 12th instant, the parishioners of Helmsley, Yorkslllie,
assembled in the court-house, in that place, for the pur-
pose of presenting to the Rev. Chas. Kipling. who is
about to leave the place, a testimonial, expressive of thers
regard and esteem for the manner in which he has dis-1
charged the duties of curate of the parish, for uwards of
three years. The testimonial consisted of a sits*p salver,
which bore the following inscription :—" Presented to
the Rev. Charles Kipling, 8.A., by the parishioners of
Helmsley, as an acknowledgment of his valuable services
as curate of that parish, for the space of three years and
upwards. October, 1849." An address. signed by Lord
and Lady Feversham, and the principal inhabitants of the
parThh, was also presented to the rev. gentleman. Dr.
Ness took the chair on the occasion, and, after a few re-
marks, called upon Mr. J. H. Phillips, the senior church-
warden, to present the address on behalf of the parish-
ioners.

THE MURDER AT CLAPHAM. —James Weston, the
man who stands charged with the murder of his wife and
infant child, was re-examined on Thursday. The prisoner
appeared to have got over his nervousness, but exhibited
indications of mental aberration, which, coupled with
other circumstances, leave little doubt of his insanity.
He refused to cross-examine any of the witnesses but the
surgeon, who, he said, was the murderer ; the surgeon
had given him drugs to take away his senses, and had
mesmerised him ; he had been told that he should be re-
leased and his child restored to him in two years ; last
night, while he was in his cell, the superintendent of
police came to him and tried to murder him. As the pri-
soner was rambling about in this way, a brother informed
the court that his mind had been previously affected, and
he could produce witnesses to that effect.—The magistrate
said that such evidence would be of effect at the trial, and
committed the prisoner to the Central Criminal Court for
wilful murder.

STRANGE LONGING.-At the Pocklington Police-court,
on Saturday last, Christiana Johnson,4l respectable mar-
ried woman, who was enciente, was charged by Leonard
Richmond, of Fangfoss, with stealing about a quartern of
plums from trees in his garden on the 10th of September.
In her defence she stated that she took the plums, and
that she could not resist doing so as she was `• longing for
them," and she could not have been prevented unless
some one had held her. The plums were quite green and
unripe at the time. Though she ate them, after doing so,
she went to the prosecutor and told him what she had
done, offering at the same time to pay him for the plums ;
he, however, would not accept payment, but said he should
have all that the. law could give her. The prosecutor
admitted the truth of her statement. The magistrates
ordered Mrs. Johnson to pay for the plumsfvalue 6d., and
that the prosecutor and the defendant do pay the costs
equally between them. The magistrates at the same time
censured the prosecutor for his conduct in bringing the
case into court.—Hall Packet.

A BALOON FROZEN IN THE AIR.—A danger which we
have never heard of as menacing an aeronaut before, nearly
proved fatal to Mr. Gypson, who made an ascent from
Bedford, on Friday last. When about two miles and a half
above the earth, the gas was suddenly affected by a rapid
and powerful expansion. so that it became necessary to
open the valve, and relieve the baloon of the extreme
pressure inflicted on the whole surface of the silk. But
here arose an extraorcinary incident—the hose of the
safety-valve, which had been tied up before leaving the
earth to prevent the admission of atmospherie air, was
found to be frozen quite hard, so that it became impossible
to extend it to allow the superfluous gas to blow off.
Under those circumstances, Mr. Gypson endeavoured to
open the valve at the crown of the baloon ; but that, too,
from the peculiar description of luting with which the
valve was luted, was found to be imperatively frozen. As
Gypson bad but one alternatiue, he quickly passed
himself through the hoop, and, with his knife, made a
large incision in the lower part of the balloon. The gas
streamed forth in one continuous stream through a two-
foot opening ; and the gas that had been passed into the
silken globe an invisible vapour rushed out as white as
the steam from a steam-engine, such was the effect of the
frosty air upon it. Thus the aeronauts were rescued from
the jaws of destruction; for had not such an expedient as
the knife been adopted, nothing could have prevented the
silk giving way to the extreme force then acting upon it,
at three and a half miles above the earth, for such was
then their altitude, as shewn by the sinking of the mercury
in the barometer.

AFFLICTING SUICIDE BY A LADY.—On Friday an in-
quest was held, in London, by Mr. T. Wakley. M.P., on
view of the body of Miss Sarah Whittaker, aged 53, who
destroyed herself by swallowing a large quantity of
laudanum. The dee .ased's brother was formerly a soli-
citor in a very extensive practice. and possessed of con-
siderable property. Some years since he became unable
to attend to his professional duties, through an aberration
of intellect. His property and his sister's were soon ex-
pended, and the deceased was compelled to seek her
livelihood by becoming a daily teacher. Her brother
gradually became worse, and he was eventually confined
in a lunatic asylum. He remained there but a short
time, and was liberated through the intercession of the
deceased, who recently hired furnished apartments for
herself and brother. She was in the habit of leaving
home in the morning, and attending to her duties as a
teacher, and returning in the afternoon. On one occa-
sion the landlord opened the room door, and found the
deceased struggling with her brother, who had the tongs
in his hand, and was flourishing them over her head.
The deceased never complained of her sufferings, nor did
she ever appear reluctant to attend upon her brother,
although, at times, it was quite evident she was suffering
from great mental anxiety and bodily fatigue. During
the last few days her brother had become very outrageous,
and would, no doubt, have killed her, if prompt assistance
had not been rendered. In consequence, a certificate was
procured for his admission into the infirmary, at St.
Pancras workhouse. He was removed on the following
morning, and shortly afterwards the deceased was found
lying upon the sofa in a state of stupor. The landlord
instantly sent for Mr. T. Wakley, (son of the Coroner,)
surgeon, but the deceased died in about an hour and a
half afterwards. A search was made in the room, and
four bottles which had contained laudanum were discovered
in some drawers.

SOMNAMBULISM.—AN EARLY RISER.-At the manu-
factory of Messrs. John Deheer and Co., in English-street,
in this town, it is the custom to admit, every morning, the
first workman who arrives, by a door through the house.
On Thursday morning last, Mr. Deheer having been de-
tained to a late hour before retiring to rest, bad scarcely
fallen to sleep when, about two o'clock, he was aroused
by a loud knocking at his door. On opening thewindow,
he found at the door one of his men, a young married
man, named James Whit e. He asked him what he wanted,
and he said he had come to work. Mr. Deheer told him
that it was not six o'clock, but only two. However, as
he had come, be would let him in, and lie might sit in the
kitchen till work-time. On opening the door, White
walked in, with his breakfast-tin and breakfast in it. Mr.
Deheer perceived that the man had but one boot on and
the other foot bare, but did not say anything respecting
it. After a moment, the man said he would go home
again, and immediately set off, leaving his breakfast tin.
At six o'clock in the morning, White's wife awoke, as
usual, to call her husband, whom she found laid acros
the bed, with the greater part of his clothes on and onE
boot, the other foot being bare. She aroused him and he
went to work, and was very much surprised on being told
by his master what had occurred in the night. It appears
that he was perfectly sober, that he retired at the usual
hour to rest with his wife, that he had risen about half-
past one o'clock, partially dressed himself, taken up his
breakfast, and walked three quarters of a mile to the ma-
nufactory, gone into the house. conversed with his master,
and returned home—having never been missed by his wife,
and being, when he awoke, utterly unconscious of having
ever left his room or his bed. White is a young man of
steady habits, and has been married about six months.—

FEARFUL ACCIDENT.—On Saturday week, as the train
was running from St. Bees to Whitehaven it had to
descend an incline of something like 12 feet into the latter
town, and there being a hoar frost, the train went mu"h
faster than usual. The driver tried to stop the engine,
but failing, put on the breaks and once more attempted to
reverse the engine, but in doing so the engine got four
strokes forward, and passing the station, ran through the
outer wall of the house of Mr. Pennington, and through
another wall into his back parlour. A little girl, Jane
Pennington, was at the time sitting singing in the kitchen,
when the engine passed over her, much mutilating her,
and causing immediate death. The engine, on dashing
into the parlour, knocked the fire-grate out of its place,
throwing the burning contents over the forehead and
breast of a little boy, John Pennington, eight years old,
the occupier's son, who, however, is likely to recover,
though he will in all probability bear the marks for life.
The collision was rurely an accident, as all the witnesses
stated that the parties in charge of the train did the
utmost in their power to prevent its happening. The
coroner qnd jury, however, thought that it might have
been prevented, had the railway company placed a proper
check at the end of the rails; instead of which, there was
only a slight curve, a foot in height, placed to prevent the
carriages getting off the line after having been turned on
the turn-table close by. The inquest occupied upwards of
four hours and a half, during which time no less than
fifteen witnesses were examined. The jury, after a lengthy
discussion, returned a verdict of "Accidental death, in
consequence of an error in judgment of the engine-driver;
and they considered that there was a great want of pro-
tection to life and property at the Furness and Whitehaven
terminus." Mr. Pennington kept a school, and fortu-
nately, being Saturday, it was a holyday, and be and his
wife had not risen, but on any other day the whole family
would have been seated at breakfast.

BERMONDSEY TRAGEDY.—Repeated unsuccessful . • -
plications having been made for copies of TIIE VI -
SERVER of Sunday, Sept. 2, containing the woodcut
Profile LIKENESSES of the MANNINGS. those
woodcuts will be reprinted in The Observer of Sunday,
October 28, with the trials at length ; and, in order that
the public may not be disappointed of the usual miscellany
glen in The Observer, owing to the probable room that
may be occupied for those trials, it is intended to print a
GRATUITOUS EXTRA HALF-SHEET SUPPLE-
MENT, so that The Observer of SUNDAY, OCTOBER
28, will contain sixty folio columns. The price, as usual,
only Sixpence. The extensive publication of THE
OBSERVER commences at four o'clock on Sunday
Mornings. Newspaper Agents can have any number of
copies before five o'clock on Sunday morning, in time to
supply passengers going by all the railways. Published
by Mr. Clement, jun., 170, Strand, London.—Monday's
Edition of The Observer is regularly published at four
o'clock on Monday afternoons.

INDITSTRI EXHIBITION Of ALt NATIONS.—A very
interesting al l important meeting was held on Wednes-
day, at the Mansion House; London, for the purpose of
receiving a deputation of the Council of the Society of
Arts, which had been instructed by his Royal Highness
Prince Albert to ascertain the feelings of the inhabitants
of the city of London with regard to the proposed exhi-
bition of arts and manufactures ; and to take such further
steps as might be deemed adviseable for promoting, that
object. Some members of the deputation have already
Miter! most of the large towns of England, Scotland, and
Ireland—and have received a very general assent to *e
principle, all parties appearing to concur in the great value
and importance of such an'cxhibition. The meeting on
Wednesday took place in the Egyptian Hall, and shortly
after twelve o'clock several hundreds of the leading manu-
facturing and commercial inhabitants of the city of Lon-
don were assembled. The Lord Mayor, in whose name
the cards (ii; invitation had been issued, presided. Reso-
lutions for furthering the object in view were unanimously
carried.

SUPPOSED CASE OF CATALEPSY, OR TRANCE.—On
Friday week, at Bristol, Mr. Byron Blythe, son of an
independent gentleman of London, was apparently taken
with cholera, and, though three medical gentlemen at-
tended him, he gradually sank, and, at two o'clock on
Sunday morning, apparently expired. One of the medi-
cal men saw the body several hours after, and found it
still warm. He did not, however, think much of this,
and gave his certificate that deceased had died from cho-
lera. He called next morning, and finding the body had
been screwed down, had the coffin-lid taken off. The
body was strewed with saw-dust, and when this was re-
moved, he found no traces of decomposition, and it was
still warm. He called on two other medical men, and
they ordered that the interment should not take place.
They returned, and still finding the body warm, injected
the veins with warm water, without producing any effect.
They then applied powerful galvanic shocks, which
changed the colour, and rendered the hands more supple,
but no signs of life appeared. At five o'clock on Monday
afternoon warmth still remained, and there was no ap-
pearance of decomposition. But on Tuesday morning all
doubt of the extinction of life was at an end, and the
body was interred.
MILITARY INSUBORDINATION AT NOTTINGHAM.
There has been some military rioting at Nottingham this
week. Many of the horses belonging to the 3d Dragoon
Guards stationed there were found to be labouring under
the scurvy, caused by the want of proper cleaning. As a
punishment, some of the men were confined to the bar-
racks. They broke out, absented themselves from duty,
and when apprehended resisted. So refractory were some
that swords were drawn and used. A sergeant, in com-
mand of one of the pickets, saw a tall private about to
strike him, when he instantly dealt a blow at the fellow's
head, but reaching somewhat too far, he caught the point
of his sword against an adjacent wall, and his weapon
snapped in two •, the hilt, however, fell upon the refrac-
tory soldier's face and inflicted rather a severe gash.
Three of the fugitives in another instance broke iron rail-
ings, made pikes, and collected a heap of stones. The
sergeant, seeing them so well prepared for resistance,
rushed in upon them, crying, " You villains surrender,"
at the same time driving the pommell of his sword into
the mouth of one of the delinquents. This man replied,
" D—n you, we have surrendered ; and what is more, I've
tasted your steel," and at the same time spitting a great
quantity of blood. On Monday two of the privates were
imprisoned fin a month by the civil power ; others will be
tried by a court martial.
STRANGE PROCEEDING.—At Marlborough-street, on
Monday, a lady, accompanied by two gentlemen, applied
to Mr. Bingham for advice. On Saturday the lady was
attracted to a fur-shop, No. 250, Regent-street, by the
display of cheap ticketed goods in the window. She went
into the shop, but not finding the inside answered the
expectations raised by the outside, she was about leaving,
when the person in charge of the shop put his arms out
and barred her egress, with the intimation that she would
not be allowed to leave the place until she made a pur-
chase. Being much intimidated, she agreed to become
the purchaser of what was represented to be a pair of
minx fur cuffs, at the price of 14s. 6d. She paid the
money, received a regular bill of parcels, and was told if
the cuffs did not suit they would be changed any time
within three months. The lady, as soon as she got home,
obtained an opinion as to the value of her purchase, and
she was then informed that the same sort of cuffs, for
which she had been constrained to pay 14s. 6d., might be
bought in any respectable shop for half-a-crown.. On
returning to the shop in Regent-street, and requiring the
cuffs to be changed, the owner, or manager of the shop,
would only make an exchange on these terms, that the
the lady should take a pair of cuffs at 305., paying the
difference. These 30s. cuffs were worth about 10s. Of
course this offer was refused, and as the lady could get no
real redress, she had come to that court for advice. Mr.
Bingham said he would tell the applicant the advice he
gave to another party the other day who had made a simi-
lar complaint to him, which had reference to the same
shops He told the complainant to go back to the shop,
and require the goods to be taken back, or the money to
he returned. If a denial was given—as, in fact, it had
been given, with scorn—then to go to the County Court
and take out a summons for the amount.. This was done,
and when the day of hearing arrived the complainant
received back the whole of the money and costs, without
going into court. He had no doubt a similar course in
this case would follow.
