Serious riots took place akNantwich last week, in conse-
quence of three women, named Dodd, having given their
evidence against a man, named Burn, at the Chester
Assizes, who was convicted and sentenced to a year's impri-
sonment for assaulting some conservative voters for Messrs.
Egerton and Tollemache.
TRIBUTE OF RESPECT TO A CLERGYMAN.—The Rev. W.
Morgan, 8.A., Curate of Todlnorden, Lancashire, has been
presented by a detachment of the 78th' Highlanders, (for
some time stationed in that district) with a bible and prayer
book, beautifully bound in purple silk velvet, with gold
clasps, labels, &c., having on the inside of the cover of
both books the following inscription in gold lettering—
" Presented to the Rev. W. Morgan, 8.A., by a detach-
ment of the 78th Highlanders, as a grateful acknowledge-
ment of his kind solicitude for their christian welfare. Tod-
morden, May 29th, 1841." The.isubscription for the above
commenced with the private soldiers, after which the serge-
ants and corporals took it up most warmly ' • the officers not
knowing anything of the matter until it was finally arranged.
The Journal du Havre mentions, as a proof of the dis-
tressed state of the colonial sugar trade, that a vessel has
just come into that port from Guadaloupe in ballast, not
having been able to obtain any freight in sugar, the prices
there being such as would have caused a loss bo the growers.
On Saturday two boys, brothers, belonging to Calderbank,
went out along the braes in that district for the purpose of
collecting the wild berries of the season; but not return-
ing in the evening, an alarm was spread, but they were no
where to be seen, till, on farther investigation, it; the waste
proved to be an old coal-pit of considerable depth, into
which the hapless brothers had fallen. The bodies were
speedily got out, but life had long been extinct.
CORK COUNTY ELECTION.—Mr. Wratigham's opinion
has been received, and we believe we are correct in stating,
that, according to that opinion, a clearer or stronger case for
the voidance of an election never was presented than that
with which it is in the power of Messrs. Leader and Long-
field to go before a committee.—Constitution.
Emigration is still going on to an immense extent from
Glasgow to South Australia. The majority of the emigrants
are of the agricultural class, among whom are a considerable
number of young females.
The following distressing occurrence took place lately at
Eaux Chaudes, a watering-place in the Basse Pyren6es. A
gentleman and his wife were taking a walk in the environs,
and came to a chasm between two rocks. The lady dared
her husband to leap over it. Being a better judge of dis-
tances and of his own powers, he at first declined, but,
piqued by.her reproaching him with cowardice, he made the
spring, and fell into the space between. When taken up it
was found that his back was broken, and in a few hours
afterwards he expired.
WARLIKE NEWS.—In the afternoon of Friday it was con-
fidently asserted in the city, by generally well informed and
most respectable merchants, that five ships of war had been
ordered to proceed immediately to the coast of the United
States, and that they were there joined by ten other vessels
of her Majesty's navy, from foreign stations. The object of
the alleged mission of this armament to the American shores,
it was added, was to receive Mr. Fox, should the refusal of
the renewed demand for the release, which it is said he is in-
structed to make, of Mr. M`Leod, compel the British repre-
sentative to withdraw from Washington, and afterwards to
adopt such hostile proceedings as may be deemed indispen-
sable for the vindication of the honour of the British crown,
which has been so wilfully and wantonly attacked by the
American people and government in the person of its subject
—Alexander M`Leod.—Morning Herald.—[The Sun gives
a flat contradiction to this statement.]
SALE OF THE ADELAIDE GALLERY, LONDON.—Messrs.
Foster and Sons sold on Thursday the highly interesting,
rare, and valuable objects of art and nature, at the Adelaide
Gallery, Lower-arcade, Strand, together with the fittings,
fixtures, furniture, and improvements belonging to the pro-
prietary. Among the more remarkable objects may be no-
ticed Perkins' steam-gun, the electrical eel, Sharp and Ro-
berts' power-loom, Perkins' celebrated machine for showing
the compression of water, a high-pressure steam-engine of
three-horse power, several working models of steam and
other engines, powerful air-pump, Galloway's rotatory rail-
way in operation, Pritchard's achromatic compound micro-

draulic, and hydrostatic machines, engines and apparatus,
cosmorama, dissolving views, magnets, an organ by Flight,
and a vast variety of items, curious, scientific, and valuable,
originally cost upwards of .£2o,ooo—sold for £7OO.
ANOTHER COLLIERY EXPLOSION.—On Tuesday morning
an explosion took place ,in a coal pit, at Haswall, only two
miles from Thornley, where the explosion, attended with
most calamitous results, occurred on the preceding Thurs-
day. Haswell is about ten miles from Sunderland, on the
railway line to Hartlepool. About two o'clock on the
Tuesday, a man named Lotheringcon, a deputy overman,
went down into the pit to examine if it was in a safe condition
previous to the second shift of men commencing work. Some
men who belonged to the first shift had not then left. On
examining the north district, he found a bracket broken, and
in attempting to repair it he removed it so as to cause an es-
cape of inflammable gas, which exploded at the candle he
held in his hand, arid he was instantaneously killed. Four
other men who were working in the same neighbourhood
were burnt, one of them very severely, and he is not yet out
of danger. On 'Wednesday evening an inquest was held be-
fore I'. C. Maynard, Esq., coroner, and a verdict of " Acci-
dentally killed" returned.
WHEAT HARVEST IN THE UNITED STATES.—The wheat
harvest, it may now be confidently said, will yield more than
an average crop, notwithstanding partial failures in Virginia,
in Pennsylvania, and in the States. Small parcels of the
new crop at the South have already come into market, and
been sold for from 118 to 125 cents a bushel. The product
of the United States in bread, corn, and other vegetable
food, is thus stated in the recent census
Bushels of Wheat raised in the U. S.

76,174,849

------
Ditto v Rye V 17,037,600
Ditto Indian Corn 297,155,658
Ditto Oats
Ditto Buckwheat
Ditto Barley
Ditto Potatoes
From the data here furnished, making a fair allowance for
the states and territories not included in the statement, it
appears that nearly four bushels and a half of wheat are
raised for each inhabitant ; of other grain, nearly thirty
bushels to each inhabitant ; and of potatoes, about six bushels
and a half to each inhabitant. Making an aggregate of forty-
one bushels of grain and potatoes to each inhabitant, in-
cluding men, women, and children, bond and free.—New
York American of July 31.
