ILPstrAL EFFECTS OF JrctoxicaTiee.—On Sunday morning
`wit, Mr. William Smith, middle-aged fanner, of Lavcock, near
Yorkshire, was found dead in one of the hayeracks
e;.itr. Ellison, Crown Inn, in that town. The unfortunate in-
O
'tdual, who was remarkable for industry, and had accumu-
ed considerable property, became fond of liquor some years
e 49,, and so far debilitated himself, that he
,almost made it a
aitY practice. He was seen early on the fatal morning in the
erects, and it is supposed he was ascending the ladder, to re-

ed into the rack and smothered.

It'rah Harris, with whom he had cohabited some years, though
eelllarried man. His wife; learning the fact, naturally up-
`4itled him for squandering his money on a worthless woman,

eieang,, " that he wished the Almighty might strike him dead

ANTIQUITIES.—On Thursday week the workmen employed in
excavating the new road to the little Roodee, through the city
walls of Chester, near the castle, found a Roman lachrymatory
of fine red earthenware, supposed to have been 1400 or 1500
years-old. Several Roman coins and vessels were also found.
The King of Holland has granted permission to the English
engineers, to pursue uninterruptedly, the construction of the
iron railway recently commenced, in the vicinity of Amster-
dam. The iron ana the other materials are froth a British
foundry.—Morning Herald, Nov. 27.
AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT.—No less than sixteen distinct
varieties of the potatoe tribe have been produced in the garden
of Colonel Blacker, near Portadown, from the seed of last year.
The fruit, or crabs as they are generally called in the country,
were gathered at the usual time of potatoe digging, lasVseason,
from ground planted solely with the kind called' Cups" aild
" Apples." After being kept during the winter in a warm
place, the seed was sown about February last in flower pots, and
remained in a conservatory of moderate temperature—the young
plants were set out in May in the usual manner, and the pro-
ducc'has been as above-mentioned. Two of thekiLds-are white,,
one long or kidney shaped,
.the other round, apparently of the
description brought early into the Dublin market, under the
name of " Wicklow Bangers." There are sundry varieties of
pink, and mixed pink and white; the remainder are chiefly
purple of every gradation of shape, terminating in a species
nearly black ; one, in particular, exhibits, under a thin outward
skin, a deep beet colour. They have excited much interest
among the farmers in that quarter, to whom. Colonel B. has di-
rected them to be exhibited.—Nmery Telegraph.
ATTACK ON BARON SMITH'S HOUSE,, T NEWTOWN.—On
Monday last, about 2 o'clock in the morning, Baron Sinithts
house,. at Newtown, in the King's county, about four miles
from Tullamore, was attacked by a number of armed persons;
every pane in every window in the front of the house was
broken. One stone of immense size, WlliCh entered abed-room
window, struck the bed, and was near killing a female servant
who was sleeping there. Above.loo panes of glass were broken.
Several shots were fired; some of the pieces were chargedwith
large shot only, which lodged in and about the hall-door. One
bullet (supposed to have been discharged from a rifle) pene-
trated a very strong hall-door, leaving a hole in it, and lodged
in folding-doors, which separated the outer from the inner hall.
A second bullet passed through the window-shutters of the din-
ing-parlour, struck the opposite wall, and was found upon the
floor. Those within were repeatedly summoned by loud knocks
to' open the door, but the summons was• not obeyed, and the
door was too strong to be forced. All the windows of the front
and back gate-houses were.broken, and the lead taken off the
roof. The party next attacked and demolished the windows of
the house of a tithe collector. The Baron, it is said, received
threatening letters, denouncing him for his charges at Mary-
borough, and at the late commission. He had given employ-
ment to many, and had never had any difference with any of
his neighbours. The learned Baron has hitherto been much
beloved-and xespected.by the poor peasantry in the neighlSour-
haod. Diving his visits to Newtown he has invariably used
every means to increase the comfort and happiness of all around
him.—Dubitis Payer.
