while the steam-tug Express was towing a vessel three
miles on the other side of the Bell Buoy, Wm. Buckley,
one of the hands, was engaged outside the gunnel in
hooking the main sheet, when he lost his bold and fell
overboard. The ship was cast off from the tug, and the
TT _

unfortunate man was got out just
was alive, but died in five minutes.
CHARGE OF STEALING SUGAR.-At the Police-court,
yesterday, a man named Thomas Launcelot was charged
with having abstracted and carried away two tierces of
sugar, part of five which were lying on the Old Quay
Company's Wharf, Manchester Basin. The prisoner had
taken a cellar in another man's name, in which to stow
them, and procured a carter to take them there. They
were missed on Saturday, and finally traced, through the
carter, to the cellar. The sur' bout

as he was Si:

was consigned to Mes,
fled by the marks. T

cellar had to be broken open by

for trial at the sessions.
THE WEATHER.—On the whole, the weather since the
beginning of the present month has been fine for the sea-
son, and peculiarly favourable for the tilling of the ground.
Wednesday and Thursday were coldish, but dry. Friday
was mild, bright, and sunny ; Saturdayzather changeable.
On Sunday morning we had heavy rain, apparently set in
for the day, and with a high wind ; but it cleared up beau-
tifully in the afternoon, and a splendid evening and clear

starry night succeeded. Yesterday was fine and clear
throughout, and did much to reduce the superfluous water
that had collected in the low grounds. The sowing of
spring corn will, ere long, be commenced in earnest. By
reference to our 'Weather Table for last month it will be
found that not less than 4 inches of rain fell in this locality
during that month,—an extraordinary downfall, exceeding
that of January by nearly 3 inches. In Manchester the
fall of rain last month was also unusually great, even for
that proverbially wet locality. The glass with us ranged
between minim:Ml' and maximum points much lower and
much higher -thim ordinary within.a month. •
