LAMENTABLE ACCIDENT.—On Wednesday week, Captain
Edward Johnson of Prittlewell, in Essex, a gentleman highly
connected, was found dead in his bed-room. Search being
made a pistol was found in his drawers, as he was partially
undressed. A verdict of " Accidental Death" was returned ;
Captain Brydges, one of the witnesses said, that the deceased
was not addicted to gambling, nor was he in the slightest de-
gree embarrassed in pecuniary matters ; on the contrary, his
means were most ample. He (Captain Brydges) felt confi-
.

dent that the death of his lamented friend vias-acc
and he was strengthened in that opinion from the ea

tion he had made of the pistol. Upon looking at the ram-
rod he found it was very difficult to remove, and he verily
believed that the deceased was about to draw the charge of
the pistol, and, finding he could not shift the ramrod with
his hand, he had applied the teeth of his lower jaw to a small
ridge near the top of it, and in doing so the jerk must have
caused the pistol to go off and produced the dreadful cala-
mity.

CHAPTER-HOUSE, EXETER.—At two o'clock on Tuesday
afternoon, the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of the diocese
pronounced judgment in the case of the Rev. G. Martin,
rector of St. Pancras, in this city, who, it will be recollected,
was charged with marrying two persons not resident in his
parish, in the summer of lust year. His lordship said, after
--;ow of the facts, inconsideration of this being the first
lie kind in which proceedings had been taken—of
good character—his inexperience—the
admitted absence of any sordid motive—and, he feared, the
too prevalent practice of many of his seniors in the ministry,

this occasion rather to proclaim the law than to enforce its

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE

MANCHESTER, TUESDAY EVENING.

The !Tay meeting at Croxton Park, which commences to-
morrow, did not reduce, in auy very important degree, the
attendance this forenoon. The following formed a majority
of the offers, &c.

TUE GRANBY 11ANDICAP.-3 to 1 on the field, offered.
Offers to back Schoolboy and the Duke at 2 to 1 against the

posed, and laid by one gentleman, to Lio ; the takers were
willing to proceed, but his closing offer was 50 to 40. 2to
1 was the top offer against Pompey ; 3 to 1 was repeatedly
asked for, but in vain—we think s•to 2 would have been
taken.

THE CHESTER TRADESMEN'S PLATE.—For this event,
Forester was in considerable request yesterday. Singly, he
was backed at 14 to 1 ; and coupled to Marius, at 6 to 1, in
fifties. A little money was also put upon Priscilla Tomboy,
at 15 to 1. To-day, Bto 1 was laid to a ten pound note
against the crack, but it was not to be obtained again. The
Corsair's figure was also once laid ; but, we think 10 to 1
to " sum" may be called his price. 12 to 1 was offered, bar
two, and 14 to 1 in vain and repeatedly against either Alice
Hawthorn or Millipede. 22 to 1 against any one of Mr. Daw-
son's lot, was freely offered. We did not hear either Galan-
thus, the Queen of the Tyne, Jamie Forest, or Recompence
named ; and as to Reaction, the Tattersall figures of " 50 to 1"
show no reaction in this much spoken of candidate's favour.

THE DERBY.—Cotherstone remains second favourite,
being offered to be backed against any thing but A British
Yeoman for £2OO. The layers are getting very shy against
both. Murat was backed yesterday at 20 to 1, to lose full £3OO.
Gamecock was also then backed for a good deal of money at
40 to 1.

7 to 1 against Mr. Blakelock's A British Yeoman

7 to 1 against any two, bar one (off.) ; 11 to 1 against Mac-
cabeus and Gaper (off.)
THE. OAKS.—The only bets we heard were these :-5 to 1
against Maria Day, to a pony ; and 1200 to 100 against the
Marquis of Westminster's fillies, barring Maria Day. The
takers would have gone on.

TATTERSALL'S, MONDAY

CHESTER CUP.—The betting offers so very few noticeable
changes on this event, that we shall content ourselves with
stating, that the Corsair, Haitoe, Priscilla Tomboy, and
Martyr, were in the most lively demand; that Marius went
at one " fell sweep" from 13 to 20 to 1, jumped up to 14.,
and fell again to 16 to 1 (with a backer at each quotation,)
in the brief space of a quarter of an hour ; the last bets were
700 to 50 and 400 to 25, the taker, who appears to have been
ignorant that 20 to 1 had been laid (to a pony) five minutes
before, having all the worst of it. 50 to 1 was offered cur-
rently against Reaction.
THE DERBY.-750 to 100, twice, and 700 to 100, were
laid against the first favourite ; 15 to 1, two or three times,
against Maccaheus ; 17 to 1 1

, _ _. to £5O, and 16 to 1, to at least
£5OO against Cotherstone ; 17 to 1, to £5O, against Murat ;
25 to 1, to about £2OO, against Aristides ; 1000 to 40, and
two or three smaller bets at the same price, against Amo-
rino ; 26 to 1 against the Languish colt; 30 and 33 to 1, in
three or four places, against Gaper; 40, 35, and in one in-
stance, 30 to 1 against Gamecock, &c. Offers to lay 25 to
1 against Winesour (no friends.) and to take 30 to 1 against
Napier. Very little done on the outside favourites. Closing

DREADFUL BRUTALITY. —An inquest was taken, on
Wednesday last, at Milton Keynes, on the body of the new
born male child of Joseph Garrett. The deceased's mother
was taken in labour whilst at a neighbour's house ; she was
immediately conveyed to her father-in-law's, where she and
her husband lodged, who was inhuman enough to refuse ad-

delivered in the public street, in the presence of a concourse
of neighbours. The child survived until the Tuesday morn-
ing. The medical man was unable to say that it died from
any other than natural causes. Verdict accordingly. The
mother lies in a very precarious state.—Sun.

On Monday night the Earl of Milton's country seat at
Melton Mowbray was entered, when the folly wing articles
were stolen—Bank of England notes to the amount of 2001.
Bank of Grantham notes to the amount of 100/., the num-
bers and dates of all unknown ; .an old fashioned goblet,
knife and spoon, and numerous other articles of silver gilt;
a very small gold watch, about the size of half-a-crown, with
a rose in enamel, on the back ; an immense number of
silver pencil cases, gold snuff boxes, and other valuable or-
namental articles. A small solid silver clock, four inches by
two, set round the face with turquoise; a silver Turkish ink-
stand and chain, such as worn by the Turks, at their side.

THE ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION AT ST. PAUL'S.—On
Monday, A. J. F. Suitzennich was brought before the Lord
Mayor on this charge, the particulars of which were given in
our last. One of the witnesses stated that the prisoner
raised the pistol, and that a spark flashed from the pan, but
he did not think the pistol was directed at the clergyman.
The prisoner wrote the following letter to his brother
Dear brother, I write to inform you of the situation I am
in. I took it into my head to have a pop at the clergyman
at St. Paul's, and I am now in a station-house in an alley that
leads into Fleet-street. I don't much care about it as I did
no harm, but be so good as not to tell papa and mama yet,
as it will put them out. My examination comes on on Monday
next, at 12, as I hear. I want you to come and see me first,
and no one else till you have seen me. I hope I shall see you
to-morrow, but it did exasperate me above a bit when I heard
the fellow calling the usurper Queen, when I have lately dis-
covered that James Stuart is right Sovereign. Give my love
to all, and tell them not to fear about me, and should you
come to see me to morrow come by yourself." The counsel
for the prisoner said be was able .to prove his insanity, and
he was remanded until Friday (this day.)
EXECUTIONS.—On Friday last the Derby county gaol.
after a lapse of ten years without exhibiting the dreadful
spectacle of an execution, put forth the apparatus of death.
Samuel Bonsall, aged 26, William Bland, 39, and John
Hulme, 24, convicted of the murder of Miss Martha God-
dard, at Stanley, four miles from Derby, by dashing her
brains out with a crowbar, after breaking into and afterwards
ransacking the house, underwent the extreme sentence of the
law this morning. At twelve o'clock the prison bell tolled.
and in a quarter of an hour Bonsall, the man who struck the
fatal blow, was led out between two policemen. He prayed
fervently, The other two men were then brought out, and
the caps being arranged, one crash sent the three into eter-
nity. The prisoners made no confession that could be relied
on ; each fixed the guilt of the murder upon the other, which
leaves a doubt as to their truth. Bonsall was a most despe-
rate fellow, and it was expected he would throw himself from
a little bridge inside the gaol, but he went resignedly to his
fate. He and Bland confessed to many bad deeds, classing
among them a previous attempt to murder, with the same
bar with which this deed was done. All prayed most fer-
vently on the scaffold. The crowd was immense.

EXECUTION AT TULLAMORE.—On Friday last, Hugh
White was executed in front of Tullamore gaol, for the mur-
der of Mr. Roberts, near Moneygall. His conviction caused
considerable sensation and great annoyance to the jury, who
were both respectable and intellectual, composed of six Pro-
testants and six Roman Catholics, in consequence of Mara,
his accomplice, having been acquitted on the following day
by another jury—the testimony of Kenna, the prosecutor,
not being supported and corroborated in the case of Mara
as strongly as in that of White, which led to a memorial,
very unwisely got up, to the executive, on the part of the
latter, for a commutation of his sentence, the majority of the
jury having been induced to sign it. It had only the effect
of holding out false hopes to the unfortunate culprit, and thus
preventing him from making use of the time given him for
repentance, until the result of the memorial was known.
White was a strong, able, athletic man, of middle age. On
ascending the gallows, accompanied by two clergymen, he
showed great weakness of body, and continued in prayer for
some minutes, when, having requested the prayers of the
assembled crowd, the drop fell, and he was launched into
eternity.

MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—About four o'clock on Tues-
day morning, a cab was observed to drive up to the gates of
the Brunswick-pier, but, in consequence of their being
closed, the cab could not drive on to the quay. The gentle-
man who was the occupant, finding his progress stopped, got
out, and stated to the driver that he would go and call a boat
from off the Vulcan, and in the, interim he was to get the
luggage out. The gentleman then went forward, and it is
supposed climbed vier Alm gates, which are about four feet
high. While the driver of the vehicle was employed in tak-
ing out the luggage, he suddenly heard a kind of stilled cry,
as of " Help ! help ! help !" Fearing that some accident
had happened to his fare, he jumped over the gate and pro-
ceeded to the water's edge, but all was silent, the darkness
preventing hls seeing anything. The man then called for
assistance, but they could not recover the body. It is sup-
posed that the deceased bad stepped from the pier to the
lighter, but, not knowing the locality or extent of the lighter,
had,walked into the river. On his carpet bag was a card, on
which was written, "B. F, 1, It

errand, nas been since
discovered that the unfortunate gentleman is brother to Mr.
Ferrand, the member for Knaresborough.

DARING BURGLARY.—On Tuesday week a most exten-
sive burglary was committed about a mile from Worcester,
at the house of Major Williams, a county magistrate. A
little before one o'clock on that morning the domestics were
disturbed by a noise of some persons breaking into the house,
upon which one of the girls (there were only two female ser-
vants in the house) opened her bedroom window to call for
assistance, but was immediately assailed from without by a
shower of dirt thrown in her face by one of the party who
'd stationed himself outside ; and almost immediately af-

third, with a gun in his hand, was also about to enter the
chamber, when the others intimated that they did not want

him, and he accordingly withdrew. The women were of
course much alarmed, and their fears were not lessened by
the ruffians ordering them to lie on their faces while they

tied their feet and arms, and telling them they would be
murdered if they should give any alarm. Having bound their
feet and wrists tightly with string, the burglars demanded of
them their money, and the poor women, overcome with ter-
ror, at once disclosed to them where they would find all the
money which they possessed, which amounted to between
-9 and £3. One of the fellows r- '-ted that tb-y hod

_ N. CIS. e, more
money, but the servants declared this was all they had,
whereupon another of the party said, " Well, leave 'ern
alone; I dare say this is all they've got," and they then de-
sisted from their threats, and proceeded to Major Williams's
bedroom. After tying his limbs in the same Manner as they
