A verdict of manslaughter has been ret ned at 13
near Manchester, against a man nameci _ ddleton

killing his antagOni;t in a prize fight.
A verdict of wilful murder has been returned gab 't
.ne blacksmith, in Manchester, who killed a man oy
stabbing him with two pieces of red-hot iron.
Last week an inquest was held at Chaddesle Cor att,
on the body of an old woman, named Hannal B vies,
who met her death by drinking some herb tea Rh •h she
herself had prepared from water hemlock, in mistake for
other herbs.
On Tuesday, a man named Richards, who lived in-
Manchester, and had recently been depressed in spirits,•
destroyed himself by jumping down a coal-pit. A female
observed him put a plank on the rails placed round the
pit, and jump down.
GREEK MARRIAGE IN MANCHESTER.—On Thursday,
a marriage, according to the rites of the Greek church,
took place at the Greek Church, Lloyd-street, Great
Ducie-street. The bridegroom was Mr. S. N. Frango-
polo, of Bankside, Higher Broughton, and the bride was
Miss Agelasto, of Marseilles.
ARTFUL BURGLARY.—EarIy on Friday morning, two
men broke into the house of Mr. George Martlew, cheese-
dealer, Chapel-lane, Wigan, deliberately walked up stairs
to his bed-room, and asked him if ho had not been
robbed; he replied in the negative, immediately got up
to look for his money, and said all was right ; they than
threw him down on the bed and took away his money,
amounting to about Lit.
THE MANCHESTER LIBERALS versus PEEL.—The
chief journal of the Manchester moderate reformers (the
Guardian) is asking what the Peel party are driving at, in
accusing all the administrations, since the coming of the
reform bill, of legislating in favour of the middle classes,
and neglecting the interests of the labourers. The
Chronicle (Peel's paper) says—
Our complaint against the reform act is not with regard to
the nature, but to the extent of the measures which it has
produced. In 1832, the necessity was felt of effecting a change
which should secure a greater attention to the interests chf the
.niddle and working classes. The change which was actually,
accomplished resembled the answer of Jove to the hero's peti-
tion—he granted half the I raver, the other half he scattered to
the winds. Since 1832 we have had a systematic course of
legislation, in which the wants and wishes of the middle classts
have been carefully attended to, and their interests habitually
consulted.

Does this mean that Sir Ribert is dreaming of a Feargus
O'Connor ministry ? The farmers constitute the main
substratum of the English middle classes, whose capital
has been confiscated by Peel's policy, and whose families.
are in the process of utter ruin from the same.
A MOST INVETERATE SKIN DISEASE CURED BY
HOLLOWAY'S 'OINTMENT AND PlLLS.—James Hazlitt,
millwright, of Nenagh, county of Donegal, was afflicted
with a dreadful si+in disease, being covered with sores from
the ear to the elbow, an.l down the right side, which ren-
dered him totally unable to work at his trade. His
malady was of so malignant a nature that he became a
loathsome object of pity. In this state he was presentp:l
with some of Holloway's Ointment and Pills, and by per.
severing in the use of these wonderful remedies for a few
weeks, he has been thor.mghly cured, and is now able to
resume his usual occupation.

THE HARVEST iS still somewhat retarded in thy nor
th-rn districts of both this country and Ireland. With
the exception of Monday and Tuesday (which were wet
.)
the weather has been favourable for reaping in the north of
Ewsland, but as yet little grain has been carted ; the crops
in many cases having been cut green, it has been neces-
sary to allow them to remain longer in the field to restore
their condition. In the north of Ireland also harvest ope-
rations have in a great measure been suspeneed. A good
deal is yet to cut; and although a large quantity is in the
fields, cut and stooked, but a small portion has been
secured. The crops in the southern districts are safe and
abundant.
