GENERAL MISCELLANY.

On Friday last Lord Viscount Villiers was returned
without opposition for the borough of Cirencester.
The carpet weavers in the employ of Mr. Lea, the
largest carpet weaver in Worcester, have turned out.
Sir Watkin Williams Wynn, Bart., at his audit, last
week, caused the liberal return of £lO per cent. to ba
made on the rents of all his tenantry.
It is said that the visit of Louis Philippe, in September,
has been arranged for the express purpose of his Majesty
being sponsor to the royal infant now expected.
On Monday week the first stone of a new Church at
Heaton Norris, Stockport, was laid by Wilbraham Eger-
ton, Esq.
A fearful gale occurred off Jersey, on the Ist instant.
A sloop, with eighteen persons on board, was driven on
to a sunken rock, and fourteen of them perished.
The supply of gooseberries in the south has been so
large that they have been scarcely worth the trouble of
gathering ; and in some parts of Kent, cherries on the
trees were offered under one half-penny per pound.
COACH ACCIDENT.—On Thursday last the Stirling and
Edinburgh coach was upset at a sharp turn of the road,
when one gentleman was killed and several others in-
jured.

Chamber's Journal has increased since the alteration in
its form from somewhat under 60,000, which was the
amount laterly printed of the old series, to above 90,000
being an addition of more than one-half.
SUICIDE OF A CLERGYMAN.—On Friday week the Rev.
G. Harris, minister of one of the city of London churches,
committed suicide at Gravesend by cutting his throat with
a razor. The reverend gentleman had been in a despond-
ing state of mind for some time.
COMPETITION !—The Forth and Clyde Canal Company
are now carrying passengers from Glasgow to Edinburgh
for Is. in the steerage, and Is. 6d. in the cabin. If it was
not for the Canal Company, what would the fares to Edin-
burgh by railway be ?
DIABOLICAL.—A Durham Journal states, that, a few
mornings ago, at Waldridge colliery, near Chester-le-street,
some heartless ruffian fired a gun, heavily loaded, through
the window-shutters of a house occupied by John Walker,
a deputy, by which he and his wife were severely injured
whilst asleep in bed.
SINGULAR DEATH.—A fine young man, named Hart,
residing at Homerton, whilst at his work on Friday week
trod on a nail, which entered the heel of his foot. He
thought little of it, and continued his work till the follow-
ing Monday, when he was seized with lock-jaw, and died
in great suffering two days after.
MURDER IN NOTTINGHAM.—A woman, named Bar-
ton, is in custody, at Nottingham, charged with having
poisoned her husband. It appears that she has repeat-
edly threatened him with both poison and steel, and, one
day last week, purchased a pennyworth of arsenic, which
she is supposed to have administered to him, as he died
in great agony.
RAISING THE WIND.—A person inserted in " the
leading journal of Europe" an advertisement for which he
paid Os. At the foot thereof was appended—" Parties
wishing an answer to their application will please to enclose
a postage stamp." Within a week he received no less
than 219 letters with postage stamps enclosed, which not
only paid for advertising but gave a bonus of 9s. 3d. in his
favour. It is said that hundreds of persons resort to this
novel mode of raising the wind."
ANTICIPATED DISSOLUTION OF THE ANTI-CORN-
LAW LEAGUE.—The League newspaper, of Saturday
week, in an article upon the projected Free Trade Club,
says—" The League now in full vigour may, nevertheless,
make its will, and bequeath to the club this legacy of u,,e-
fulness." The whole article is written in a most de-
sponding tone, and bears evidence that the great guns, the
Cobdens, Moores, Aclands, and Brights, find that the age
of league gullibility and the " day of the dupes" are near
at an end.

- - -
CATCHING FOXES BY WHOLESALE.—For a consider-
able time past, the estate of Mr. Charles Richards, of
Venvin Lelant, has been infested with foxes, and his
poultry, &c. have been carried off by them—even at mid-
day. A trap was set, and one morning poor Reynard's
leg and tail were found in it. On Monday a conduit in
one of the fields on the estate was opened, and 21 feet
deep and 600 feet in, six young foxes were discovered—one
minus a leg and tail. They were all destroyed except
one.— West Briton.

On Friday night, in the House of Commons, a new
writ was moved for the borough of Dudley, in the room
of Mr. Hawkes, who has accepted the Chiltern Hundreds.
Mr. Benbow, a retired solicitor, of London, has come
forward on the conservative interest, and the radicals have
issued an address in which they state that Sir G. Lar-
pent will come forward. The nomination is fixed for to-
morrow (Wednesday), and the polling the following day.
At the last election the numbers were—for Mr. Hawkes
(conservative), 436 ; for Mr. Smith (whig), 189.
PENSIONS.—The following are the pensions granted
during the year ending 20th June :—Dame Maria Bell,
£lOO a-year, in consideration of the services rendered to
science by her late husband, Sir Charles Bell ; Miss Ann
Drummond, in consideration of the public services of
her brother, the lamented Edward Drummond, Esq., as-
sassinated by Macnaughten, £2OO a-year ; Robert Brown,
Esq., the botanist, £2OO a-year ; Dame Florentia Sale,
wife of the the hero of Jelallabad, £5OO a-year ; and Sir
William Rowan Hamilton, the Astronomer Royal for
Ireland, £2OO a-year. Making altogether £1,200 per
annum.

MANSLAUGHTER.—On Friday week a woman named
White died at Doynton, near Bath, in consequence of in-
juries inflicted on her by her husband. On Wednesday
the parties attended Bath Market, as usual, and on their
return both of them were intoxicated. It seems that some
altercation took place between them on the road, which
ended in the blows which are supposed to have caused the
woman's death. The deceased was a comely-looking wo-
man, about 38 years of age : and the prisoner a tall gaunt
man, of rather a forbidding aspect, against whom a ver-
dict of manslaughter was returned at the coroner's in-
quest.

INCENDIARISM IN SUFFOLK.—The Grand Jury of
the county of Suffolk at the recent assizes made a pre-
sentment on the subject of the recent incendiary fires in
the countY, in which they state—" We present the follow-
ing as an analysis of the cases which have come before us,
of which there appear to be 17 committed by children or
young persons under the age of 20, and 15 by persons
above that age—namely, 4 arising from inadequate em-
ployment, 12 fi om malicious feeling towards individuals,
11 from actual mischief and without any premeditated or
criminal intention, one only by a party travelling about
the country as a vagrant, and 4 for which we cannot dis-
cover any sense or motive whatever.

At the Devizes quarter sessions, held last week, in a
case of potato stealing, the jury found that the prisoners
were both guilty, but recommended them to mercy—on
account of the evidence not being sufficiently strong I
The court sentenced them to three months' imprisonment.
This is nearly as bad as the verdict of a jury in another
case, in which the finding was " not guilty," with the ac-
companiment, "but we advise the prisoner not to do it
again."

A WOMAN KILLED BY HER HUSBAND.—On Sunday
week a man named Farrall, living in Sacville-street, Man-
chester, returned home about two o'clock in the after-
noon, when his wife scolded him for not coming sooner to
dinner. Many words ensued between them, and in the
quarrel he struck her some blows on the face and fore-

head with his fists, inflicting injuries which caused her
death on Thursday morning. A verdict of manslaughter
was returned against him at the inquest.
GOOD FORTUNE.—A poor fisherman, residing at Sid-
mouth, having fallen in arrears with his landlord, hired a
boat for the purpose of conveying his few household
effects to Portland. The wind blowing from the north-
west be put out to sea, and was hailed by a homeward-
bound East Indiaman. There were on the vessel twenty-
five passengers, and they offered him three pounds a head
to take them ashore. The offer was thankfully accepted,
and the duty duly performed. The boatman then returned
to his late desolate habitation, relanded his furniture, and
immediately afterwards waited upon his landlord and dis-
charged his debt.

A RAT KILLED BY A HEN.—A curious circumstance
occurred at Stramongate, near the river, during the week,
which shows the courage evinced by ahen, in defence of
her young brood. A nest of ducklings, nine in number,
under the charge of a hen, whilst basking in the sun,
were pounced upon by a large rat, and at the moment
when he was within reach of his prey, Dame Partlet
bristled up her feathers, and with spur and beak flew at
the marauder, and quickly put him to flight. Following
up the success of victory, in the first instance, the hen
intercepted her enemy retreating to his hole, which she
would not allow him to come near, beating him off on
every approach towards it, till in the end, Mr. Rat was
fairly laid upon his back, and the hen completed her work
by killing him on the spot.—Kendal Mercury.

APPREHENSION OF A GANG OF BURGLARS.—For
some time past the town and neighbourhood of Ashton-
under-Lyne have been infested with a gang of midnight
ruffians, who have plundered several farm-houses and
villagers cottages in the vicinity of •Glossop, Mottram,
and Hyde, and up to the present time have escaped the
vigilance of the police. They have at length, however,
been captured by Mr. Newton, deputy-constable, and
they turn out to be a family of the name of Swan resid-
ing in Stalybridge, who up to this period had never been
suspected. They consist of the mother, two sisters, and
four sons ; likewise Robert Hartley, husband of one of
the daughters. They were all brought before the magis-
trates on Saturday, and identified as parties engaged in
several burglaries within the last few months.
NEW BRITISH IRON COMPANY.—This company held
a meeting on Wednesday, at which a report from the pro-
visional committee was presented, giving a satisfactory
statement of the progress of the works under recent ma-
nagement. Every endeavour has been made to put the
concern in a profitable train, means having been taken to
get rid of the property which did not seem likely to pro-
mise a return, and the money laid out in improving that
which would. During the last half-year the manufacture
of pig iron at Ruabon, was 5135 tons ; in Staffordshire,
8329 tons ; and at Aberyschan, 2865 tons ; making a total
of 16,229 tons ; which was an aveme of 628 tons per week.
About 800 tons per week was now the average of manu-
facture ; before long it was expected it would reach 1000
tons per week.
THE JOHN O'GrAIINT.—This vessel, destroyed by Cap-
tain Warner, off the coast at Brighton, was washed
ashore the other night, in the presence of several hundred
spectators. She was observed to float about three o'clock
in the afternoon, and as soon as all her ballast was washed
out of her, she separated into several pieces, and frag-
ments of the wreck drifted down channel past the chain-
pier. The wreck was complete, and must have convinced
the most sceptical, had they seen the shattered vessel
scattered about in all directions on the ocean, of the ex-
traordinary power of Captain Warner's invention. Even
Sinbad's ship, of which we read that every staple and nail
was drawn by the magnetic power of the rock could not
have fallen to pieces more easily than the John o'Gaunt
under the operation of Captain Warner's explosive
power.

GOOSEBERRY Snow.—On Saturday week was held, at
Ashton-in-Mackerfield, the fourth annual exhibition, or
gooseberry show, open to all England. There was a good
attendance of growers of that useful fruit from Haydock,
Eccleston, Huyton, and Lowton. The sweepstakes and
first steward's prize was won by Mr. John Naylor's red
berry, Wonderful, weight 24 dwts. 16 grains. The second
steward's prize was won by Mr. John Arnold's yellow
berry, Pilot, weight 20 dwts. 3 grains. The third steward's
prize was won by Mr. Wm. Gore's green berry, Overall,
weight 18 dwts. 22 grains. And the fourth steward's
prize was won by Mr. John Baker's Adelaide, weight 16
dwts. 22 grails. There was one berry that unfortunately
burst in the judge's bands, belonging to Mr. John Naylor,
of Haydock, weighing 27 dwts., being the largest berry
ever offered for exhibition at this meeting.
MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.—The marriage of Lady
Elizabeth Georgiana Leveson Gower, eldest daughter of
his Grace the Duke of Sutherland, with George John
Marquis of Lorn, only son of the Duke of Argyll, w a
celebrated at Trentham on Wednesday, in presence of a
select circle of the distinguished friends of both noble
families. His Grace the Venerable Archbishop of York
officiated. The Duke of Sutherland walked first, leading
the bride, who looked remarkably well, and was succeeded
by the Marquis of Lorn, and the Duchess of Sutherland.
Then came the bridesmaids, two and two. The bride was
attired in a dress and tunic of magnificent Guipere lace,
over white satin, festooned with boquets of roses, myrtles,
and orange blossoms. Her ladyship's head-dress con-
sisted of a wreath of white roses, and a veil of the richest
description of Guipere lace completed the costume, which
was extremely chaste and beautiful. Her ladyship car-
ried a bouquet of orange flowers in her left hand.
A CAPITAL HIT.—An extravaganza, called " Aladdin,
or the Wonderful Lamp—in a new Light," has been pro-
duced in London lately, in which, it is said, the most tell-
ine hit is an allusion to that on which the public mind is
at the present moment so sensitive the Post-office
espionage. When the princess is in the custody of the
magieian, after he possesses himself of the lamp, she
threatens to communicate her situation to Aladdin, and
says :
Princess—l'll write a private letter in my need—
Magician—You'll find that difficult just new indeed.
This was received with repeated plaudits, mingled with
hisses for Sir James Graham.

Princess—l'll write in black and white—
Magician—ln black and white—instead
Your letter in the post will sure be red (read)
(renewed applause.)
Besides I have a warrant to delay 'em—
_

Princess—That would be black indeed—
Magician—Not
black, but gray—hem (Graham).
(Renewed and prolonged applause.)

WESLEYAN CONFERENCE.—This body commenced its
hundred and first annual sitting on Wednesday at Bir-
mingham, when the Rev. Jabez Bunting, D.D., was
elected president by a very large majority. For Dr.
Bunting the votes recorded were, 194 ; for the Rev. Jacob
Stanley, 55 ; for the Revs. W. Atherton, R. Waddy, and
W. Vevers, 2 each; and for the Revs. J. Beecham, J.
Cusworth, R. Wood, and R. Alder, 1 each. The Rev.
R. Newton, D.D., was called to the secretaryship by 197
votes. The vacancies in the legal conference, or the hun-
dred as they are designated, which have occurred during
the past year, were filled up by the names of the Revs. T.
Harris, John Ring, and H. Cheverton.. From the finan-
cial statement of the Education Committee, it appeared
that, including a grant from the Centenary Fund, about
£12,000 had been already contributed or promised. There
had been 110 candidates for training, as masters or mis-
tresses, 42 of whom had been accepted, and sent to the
Glasgow Normal Seminary. Since August last about 13
had finished their preparatory course, and had been sent
out to different places. There had been an increase during
the year of 143 Sunday schools, and 15,627 scholars. Of
week-day and infant schools there were 183 for boys, 109
for girls, and 40 for infants, containing 13,138. boys, 8,776
girls, and 3,349 infants—making a total of 25,463, and an
increase of 4,659 children. In the Missionary Committee
the Rev. Dr. Bunting then took a general review of the
receipts and expenditure, showing that the former, for the
current year, could not be estimated at a higher sum than
£98,000, while the latter would reacts 110,000, involving
a probable deficiency of £12,000, and he called upon the
meeting to determine whether there must be a sweeping
reduction in the missions or a permanent increase ofin-
come. A long discussion ensued, in which Mr. Burton,
of Leeds, having playfully expressed an opinion that the
Wesleyan body would come nearer to £llO,OOO in contri-
butions than the committee would keep to that sum in
expenditure, the idea was taken up, and a resolution was
passed unanimously pledging the connection to raise that
amount within the year.

DEFACING PARISH REGISTERS.—At the Worcester-
shire assizes, last week, before Chief Justice Tindal, a
respectable man, named John Bowen, about 50 years of
age, was tried and convicted on a charge of having in
July, 1843, at the parish of Pirton, feloniously destroyed,
defaced, and injured a register book of births, burials,
and marriages of the parish of Croome d' Abitot, Wor-
cestershire. It appeared that the prisoner entered into
some arrangement with Mr. John Wood, of Brierley Hill,
Staffordshire, by which he was to receive a large sum of
money if he succeeded in an action of ejectment which
Mr. Wood had brought to recover possession of the real
estates of the late James Wood, Esq., the banker of
Gloucester. In order to effect that, it became necessary
to prove that Mary Wood, who died in 1763, the sister of
Thomas Wood, of Brierley Hill, the grandfather of the
claimant, had married a person named Watson. On
searching the records of the Consistory Court of Wor-
cester, there appeared among the transcripts of the regis-
ters of marriages in the parish of Croome d' Abitot, under
date, Oct. 4, 1741, an entry of the marriage of Ralph
Watson, of Woodstock, Oxfordshire, with Mary Wood ;
but upon examining the original register kept at Pirton,
no such entry was found. There was, however, an entry
of a marriage on the 4th of October, 1741, between John
Rawlins and Isabel Thomasson, which was the only mar-
riage registered in that year; and on the prisoner's third
visit to search the registers, whilst the minister had
turned his back upon him to reach another book from the
chest, he heard a sound like the tearing of paper, and, on
looking round, he discovered that the prisoner had so_
torn off a portion of the leaf on which the marriage of
Rawlins and Thomasson was entered as to leave only the
date " 1741, Oct. 4." The prisoner declared that it was
the result of accident ; and that vras the main fact to the
jury, who found it against the prisoner, conceiving that
ydegserss.entenced the pri-

SUNDAY TRAFFIC.—The new proprietor of canal boats
from London (through Reading) to Bristol has advertised
that his boats go every day except Sundays. This an-
nouncement is highly creditable to the parties concerned,
and we trust is the commencement of a better state of
things ; for the gross demoralization of the boatmen in
this kingdom is become proverbial, and, it cannot be
doubted, is to be traced to the system of Sabbath desecra-
tion on our rivers and canals, so generally adopted, and
which, unhappily, has so long had the sanction of the
British public. Many canal proprietors, canal carriers,
and others interested in the subject, are desirous of
seeing an improvement as to the existing state of things,
which affects injuriously not only boatmen, but porters,
lock-keepers, clerks, and others. We understand that a
considerable number of boat owners in Staffordshire have
expressed themselves anxious to see a change as relates to
the present system. Much good may be expected to
result from the united efforts of benevolent individuals

connected with the commercial world, which ought to
meet with universal encouragement and support.—A.
clergyman of this city some time ago addressed fifty
boatmen in a warehouse, not one of whom. he was credi-
bly informed, had been in any place of worship for the last
twenty years. When such is the case, we must not be
surprised at hearing of crimes committed by this body of
men.—Worcester Journal.
THE LATE DR. DALTON.—The death of this distin-
guished philosopher is mentioned in our obituary. Dr.
Dalton had been for more than half a century an active
and invaluable member of the Literary and Philosophical
Society of Manchester, having, together with his friend
Dr. Edward Holme, M.D. F.L.S. been elected on the
25th of April, 1794. Indeed, they were the oldest sur-
viving members of the society, with the sole exception of
Sir George Philips, Bart., who became a member in 1785.
Dr. Dalton had been president of this society since 1817.
In 1788, he commenced his " Meteorological Observa-
tions," which have been continued to the present time.
In 1793, he published a volume of " Meteorological Ob-
servations and Essays ;" a work which displays much
original thinking, and the germs of some of Dalton's
after discoveries. Some time afterwards he was appointed
to the situation of Professor of Mathematics and Natural
Philosophy in the New College, Mosley-street, Manches-
ter. He resided for about six years within this institu-
tion, with which Dr. Barnes was contemporaneously
connected as Theological Professor, and continued to hold
his office until the college was finally removed to York.
On withdrawing from the college, in the year 1799, Dal-
ton began to teach mathematics and natural philosophy,
at his own residence. The deceased was a member of

the Society of Friends. During the present week seve-

CI •
ral meetings have been held in Manchester with a view
to devise some public tribute to the memory of the de-
ceased.

SENTENCES ON THE PRISONERS FOR ARSON AT NOR-
FOLK.—Mr. Baron Alderson said, they were called upon
to receive the punishment their particular offences re-
quired to be awarded for their several crimes. Yon,
Samuel Jacob, and you, Martin Turner, have been con-
victed of setting fire to your master's premises. You,
Edward Botwright, have been convicted upon two in-
dictments, charging you with setting fire to farming pre-
mises, and also with sending a threatening letter to Mr.
Robert Watling, threatening to kill him and fire his pre-
mises. You, Frederick Borley, were tried at the last
assizes, and escaped on a point of law ; but it has not
acted as a warning upon you. You, James Lankester,
have been going about the country in a state of vagrancy,
using inflaming language, and also with sending a threat-
ening letter to Mr. Robert Watling, threatening to kill
him, and fire his premises, and finishing your crime by
committing the act for which you have been tried. The
sentence of the court upon each and every one of you is,
that you be transported beyond the seas for the term of
your natural lives. You, Robert Hammond, have been
convicted upon two charges of arson, though not of the
same magnitude as those of the others. The sentence of
the Court is, therefore, upon you, that you be trans-
ported for the term of 20 years.—Mr. Justice Williams,
in sentencing James Macclesfield, said :—the circum-
stances attending your case, James Macclesfield, leave no
doubt that the motives which induced you to commit the
crime of which you are convicted were deliberated and
long-cherished revenge, and, in consequence, have in-
volved in ruin not only the farming property, but have
entailed a frightful loss of animal life. Without entering
into detail, no less than 200 unoffending animals fellvic-
tims to your crime. The sentence of the Court is, that
you be transported for life. The Judge, in sentencing
Isaac Everett and Layzell Randall, said : The devastation
occasioned by you, Everett, is little less than in the case
of the last prisoner ; for not only was farming property
to a great amount destroyed, but several cottages were
also burnt to the ground. The sentence of the Court is
that you, Isaac Everett, be transported for 20 years, and
you, Layzell Randall, for the term of 15 years.—James
Friend, for sending a letter to Mr. William Cockrell, was
sentenced to fifteen years' transportation. Robert Grim-
wade, for sending a threatening letter to Sir Joshua Row-
ley, was sentenced to ten years' transportation. Wit.
Liam Greengrass, for a similar offence, was sentenced to
two years' imprisonment and bard labour. George Davy
was sentenced to three months' imprisonment, and to be
twice whipped. John Woods to six months' imprison-
ment and once whipped, for setting fire to some furze
bushes and underwood.
THE DREADFUL NOTTINGHAM MURDERS.—At the
Nottingham Assizes, before Lord Denman, William
Saville, a frame-work knitter, of New Radford, was
charged with the wilful murder of his wife and three
children. The prisoner, in May last, was lodging at the
house of a man named Sutton, near Birch-row, Radford.
His wife and three children had been in the workhouse,
but had come out on the day before the Tuesday when
the crimes in question were alleged to have been commit-
ted. Saville had been paying some attentions to a young
woman of the name of Tate, and the only motive that
suggested itself for the commission of those awful mur-
ders was, that he wished to get his wife out of the way
and rid himself of the incumbrance of his children. It
appeared that when the poor woman left the workhouse
with her children she said she would go in search of her
husband and on the following morning the husband, wife,
and children were seen in Nottingham together. In the
afternoon of the same day he was seen alone, and was
heard to say he had lost sight of his wife near Manners-
street. With respect to the young woman Tate there was
nothing against her character, for when she became ac-
quainted' with Saville she did not know he was married,
and upon finding he had a wife and three children she
broke off the connection. In the course of the Tuesday
evening, Saville was heard to say he supposed his wife
had drowned herself, and suspicion being excited inquiry
was set on foot, and on the Wednesday the bodies were
found in a little plantation, in the neighbourhood of Not-
tingham. From the appearance of the ground it was
evident there had been a struggle between the wife and

t prisoner ;In her hand was found a razor. The bodies
were discovered by a man on the 29th of May. He went
into the plantation to get something for his rabbits, where
he saw three little children, lying, as be thought, asleep—
one had its eyes open. Looking at the girls he saw them
wounded—further from them the body of the woman was
discovered with her throat dreadfully cut, and a razor in
her band, but quite loose, so that it would appear to have
been placed there. The body of the woman was a few
yards from the children. She lay stretched, as though
dragged : the children lay together. There was a train of
blood nearly all the way from the female to the children.
The evidence went to prove the prisoner was seen near to
and going in the direction of the spot in question, with
his wife and children on the Tuesday ; that he was carry-
ing the youngest child on his shoulder, their ages being
about seven, five, and three, and that the bodies of the
murdered children were those that had been seen with the
prisoner. Two men named Bret saw the prisoner, his
wife, and children, sitting on a bank within twenty yards

SPO RTING INTELLIGENCE.

GOODWOOD RACES, TUESDAY, JULY 30.

These fashionably-attended races commenced on Tues-
day last, and presented a fair display of rank, elegance,
and fashion; the inclosure was exclusively occupied by
those immediately interested in the proceedings of the
day ; but the attendance in other respects was not so
large as might have been expected from the nature of the
attractions, owing, no doubt, to the unfavourable state of
the weather. The running was first-rate.
