Warwickshire, died on Saturday week.
During the last three months no fewer than nine new

On Monday night, a quantity of valuable plate, worth
upwards of £lOOO, was stolen from the buttery of St.

Benson Hill, who was at harmonious and artistic actor,
a facile writer, and some time editor of the Old Monthly,
died lately, at an obscure abode in town, in penury.
At the Thames police office on Friday, a respectable
young man was fined 20s. for pulling the nose of a
collector of tolls at the Poplar railway station.
A man named Clarke, from Merthyr, was killed, a few
days ago, by David Lewis, a lunatic, who beat him with
a stone on the bead till his brains protruded.
Nuts this seacin are a most abundant crop, but in
consequence of the quantity of rain that fell during the
summer, they are said to be very bad.
The Andover-union inquiry has terminated, and Mr.
and Mrs. M`Dougal, the master and matron, are to quit
the place on Wednesday.
A fine little boy, aged nine, son of an independent gen-
tleman, named Morris, at Luton, Bedfordshire, hanged
himself, in play, from a bedpost, a few days since.
SHAMEFUL lmeosrrtos.—lt is stated that the present
price of plate-glass is ten per cent. more than it was be-
fore the removal of the large duty.
A grant of £5(O has been obtained from government,
by the National Society, to meet the expenses of an in-
quiry into the statistics of education among the children
of the poor throughout England and Wales.
CHILD MURDER.—William Hill, a glasscutter, of
Hatton-garden, London, has been committed for trial, on
a charge of having murdered a child, six months' old,
which his wife had by another man.

The death of the Marquis of Ely, and consequent
elevation of his son, Viscount Loftus, to the Upper
House, creates a vacancy in the representation of
W.odstock.

Mrs. Emma Beathcote, aged fifty-nine, a lady of
fortune, who as on a visit from Cheshire to some
relatives in London, died on 'Wednesday last, from a
sudden and violent excess of grief on being informed of
the death of a grandchild.
The t tal number of foreign live stock of all descrip-
tions imported in the year ending Auzust 5, 1843. was
1.080 head ; in 1844, 1,745 ; in 1845, 9,786 ; yet English
graziers are now realizing better prices than they did in
1843.—Mark-lane Express.

By an ingenious fraud a notorious receiver of stolen
goods, in London, was induced, the other day, by a gang
of swindlers, to advance £4OO ou a quantity of plated
watches, not half worth the amount. The rogues had
themselves advertised the watches as stolen, and offered a
large reward for their recovery.
On Thursday evening se'nnight, on board a ship in the
West India Dock, London, tour boys contrived to des-
patch amongst them in one hour three bottles of brandy.
One boy was found dead in the morning, and another had
a very narrow escape.
It is a curious fact that there are now employed in the
establishment of Mr. Cubitt, the engineer, persons of the
name of Inch, Foot, Yard-ly, Furlong, and Miles, and
they are all supporters of the " League ' to a certain de-
gree.
On Saturday week, a daughter of the late Mr. Aulton,
one of the town councillors of Nottingham, died rather
suddenly ; and such was the effect of the sister's death on
a little boy, not tour years old, that he expired the same
day, from the effects of grief and fright combined.
On the 21nd ult., the wife of a butcher named Baylis,
at Gloucester, whilst washing some meat at a pump,
stumbled and fell upon the point of a large knife, which
penetrated her left breast, and the whole weight of her
body coming upon it, entered her heart and produced im-
mediate death. _ _

The. personal property of the late Marquis of Down-
shire is sworn under £200,00.0, on which the enormous
stamp duty of £4,050 was paid, being the largest amount
ever paid in Ireland in any single case. The deceased died
intestate. Had he made a will, a saving to his estate of
£1,350 would have been effected, as, in that case, the
stamp duty would have been only £2,700.
IMPORTS OF FRUIT.—The arrivals of plums, at Hull,
continue large, 1,244 baskets having been landed from th•
Helen Macgregor, and upwards of 1,300 ditto from the
Leeds. The Helen brought also 20 baskets and 10 boxes
apples. The Victoria has also brought 1,159 baskets
plums, and 5 baskets and 13 casks apples ; and the Eme-
rald Isle, from Rotterdam, 949 baskets apples and pears,
249 casks plums, 83 'caskets walnuts, 11 bags filberts, and
22 baskets pears.

Lieutenant Leigh, R.N., nephew of the late Lord By.
ran, has been, by sentence of court-martial, dismissed
from the Stromboli steannr, and placed last on the list
for two years, for abusive language and violence towards
a seaman on duty.
Mr. Nelson, the survivor in the late duel in India, has

surrendered himself. He had gone down the river with a
view of getting on board the Precursor, but having failed
in his attempts, he gave himself up to the police. The
grand jury had found true bills for the crime of murder
against Nelson and the two seconds.
A young man named Ralph Parker has died at New-
castle-upon-Tyne, through having been stabbed in the
eye by a knife which a man named Selby Green was eat-
ing his dinner with at a cook's shop. Parker and some
persons were foolishly plaguing Green, when the latter in
a moment of irritation, inflicted the fatal wound.

A waggoner has been killed at William's Hill, in Here-
fordshire, in showing off the power of his horses to come
down a bill without being checked. The horses began to
trot, and soon be lost all power over them ; he went to
the head of the leaders, but could not stop them until
they ran foul of a public-house on the wayside.
The Eclair steam-sloop has arrived at Portsmouth,
from the coast of Africa, having brought home invalided
officers and men from the squadron. She has suffered
most severely from fever, which has been exceedingly fa-
tal on board, having lost by death 54 officers and men.
She is now under quarantine. It is reported that Com-
mander Eastcourt has fallen a victim to the fever, and
that two medical menthave also died.
HOP INTELLIGENCE.—WORCESTER, OCT. I.—The
supply of new hops on Saturday amounted to 18 pockets
only, a much smaller number than was expected. The
samples were of an ordinary character, and the few sold
at £6 15s. per cwt. The crop has suffered by the bois-
terous weather of the last week, which has caused the
duty to drop to £lO,OOO. Yearlings are in good demand
at £6 10s. to £7 ss. per cwt.
NEWSPAPER ENTERPRIZE AND. CAPABILITY. The
Morning Herald of Saturday accomplished a feat which,
as far as we know, is perfectly unparalleled in the history
of the newspaper press. The publication of that morning
consisted of 20 pages, and no less than 120 columns ! The
seven previous impressions of the same spirited paper
made an aggregate of 672 columns, of which 459 were ad-
vertisements in exceedingly small type. Such deeds ex-
cite admiration, and they deserve to be known for the en-
terprising spirit which they manifest.
DISCOVERY or A SHOAL.—A letter received at Lloyd's
from the master and mate of the brig Emily, of London,
reports that they had discovered a rock and shoal in lat.
16 59 N, and long. 21 30 W, of which no mention is made
in modern charts. The rock is about two feet above the
level of the sea, about twelve yards long, of an oblong
form, and of a grey colour. The shoal extended from the
rock about two and a half cables length and one in
breadth, running due east. The latitude and longitude
were obtained by good observation at noon.
ktertm PACE.—The following we extract from the
Times of December 19, 1806:—" The first division of the
troops that are to proceed by Paddington canal, for Liver-
pool, and thence by trill-pipers for Dublin, will leave
Paddington to-day, and will be followed by others to-
morrow and Sunday. By this mode of conveyance the
men will be only seven days in reaching Liverpool, and
with comparatively little fatigue, as it would take them
above fourteen days to march that distance. Relays of
fresh horses for the canal boats have been ordered to be
in readiness at all the stages."
A NEW MODE OF PROPULSION.—Recent American
papers note the launch of a steam packet-ship, the Vir-
ginia, intended for the coasting trade, to which submerged
wheels, one on each side, near the keel, had been applied
as the propelling power, and with engines of from sixty to
to seventy horses power. The vessel is one hundred and
fifty feet in length, twenty-three feet ten inches breadth
of beam, has four masts, and will carry three hundred and
fifty-three tons of goods; and, on an experimental trip,
before the masts were rigged, with a full cargo, she ave-
raged nine miles and a half per hour. The action of the
wheels was imperceptible.

.
Tux IRON TRADE.—The usual preliminary meeting
of the ironmasters of Sonth Staffordshire, preparatory to
the general quarterly meetiugs was held at Dudley on
Thursday last, and was very numerously attended. The
actual business resolved itself into a confirmation of the
late advance of 20s. per ton upon bar and other sorts of
manufactured iron. It was, however, apparent that al-
though prices were thus fixed, there was a very strong
feeling that another advance would short), take place,
owing to the immense demand for railway iron ; and s ,me
of the largest ironmasters present expressed their deter-
mination to limit sales at the existing rates. Most of the
ironmasters complain of being too full of orders.
OWDEN GREAT HORSE FAlR.—This annual horse
fair, one of the most considerable in the kingdom, has
been numerously attended during the past week. First
rate hunters and carriage horses were looked after with
great avidity, and quickly exchanged hands at very high
prices; and those of a secondary description were in
great demand and sold well. Some of the best horses
were purchased in the etal;les at prices varying from £lOO,
£l5O, to £2OO. For several years past horses have not
been known to fetch such high prices. Mr. Burton, of
Fulford, sold 15 first rate horses at prices varying from
£lOO, £l2O, to £150; he has also purchased Little John,
the celebrated racer, of Major Yarburgh. The demand
for English horses still continues in Prussia and Germany.
EXTRAORDINARY CASE.—A gentleman, whose name
is Francois Gavoisier, 62 years of age, and said to be a
colonel in the French army, was reacted out of the river
Thames, near St. Katherine's Dock, on Tuesday. He
had plunged into the stream and sank twice before he
could be booked by his clothes. Whilst his deliverer, a
man named Miller, was attempting to get him into a boat,
he discovered something projecting fi on) his left side, and
called out " he has a knife in his body," at the same time
pulling frcm it a dagger with which he bad stabbed him-
self before be had precipitated himself into the water.
The blood forthwith oozed from the wound, and Miller
called for more aid, which was immediately rendered, and
the gentleman was laid in the bottom of the boat. He
had no sooner recovered himself than be attempted to
seize the dagger which Miller had thrown aside. He was
removed to the hospital, and was soon visited by his wife
and daughter.

NAVAL DEFENCES.—It is ridiculously shameful that
such an important place as Sheerness should be left in a
condition of utter defencelessness—a condition which we
fear is not sing, lar, for several of our harbours are in so
wretched a condition that a French frigate might easily
carry away or burn two or three of the unprotected
vessels that might hapeen to be laying there. A week or
two ago a French ship of war paid a visit to Brighton,
with the real or pretended object of examining the break-
water. One piece of artillery, sadly out of order, is said
to be the only safeguard of the place, as at Sheerness the
other day there was no available protection at hand, had
it been required, but the " one gun" on board the
Monotaur. Coals and water may have been really the
object of the two French steamers in putting in at Sheer-
ness, but as the officers went on shore and inspected the
dock-yards, they can scarcely have faded to bave picked up
information which might be of use to them on the oc-
casion of some future visits, which would perhaps have
some darker and deeper design than coals and water.
ANOTHER FEELER.—The town of Bridport has been
visited several days during the past week by a Romish
priest, Or other order of that Church), dressed in canoni-
cal habit of gown and cap of peculiar shape, which, with
an immense beard, rendered his appearance an object of
curiosity—to the juveniles in particular, who followedhim
about the streets. He is said to be a Spaniard ;if so, lie
is not a bad specimen of one of the • Holy Fathers."
He is doing duty at a Popish mass house in the neigh-
bourhood, during the absence of the stated priest on a
visit to Ireland. There was a time when Romish priests
appearing publicly in their habits in the streets of Eng-
land caused a monarch to abdicate his throne—his sub-
jects seeing the drift of the attempt. Is this exhibition a
feeler at the present time ? Popery is straining every
nerve to regain its long-lost supremacy in this country ;
end it is a well-known fact, that his holiness (?) the Pope
still lays claim to every portion of the Church property
in Great Britain and Ireland ; records of which are care-
fully preserved in thecabinet of the Vatican for afteure day.
MISERY.—On Saturday week, an inquest was held on
the body of a female at Huddersfield, aged 53, who, ac-
cording to the verdict, had died from want of the neces-
saries of life. The body presented a most emaciated
spectacle. Previously to her death the place where she
lived bad not been swept out for a period of about six
months ! Not a single article of furniture was to be
seen. In one corner of the room was a small heap of
dirty shavings, which the miserable being had used for
her bed, and its only covering was the filthy rags with
which she covered herself during the day. She pro-
tracted her existence by begging, and she had lived in
this dreadful state ten months. A cup of tea in the
morning and evening, with a crust of bread, appears to
have been her daily food. She had been repeatedly
urged to go into the Poorhouse, She had, however,
twice been there, but both times bad ran from it, and
since she had never applied for parochial relief, and but
for the charity of some neighbours must have expired
long since, and latterly she had been afflicted with asthma.
The house, if such it may be termed, was occupied by a

being firmly believed, by hundreds who have seen him,
that during that period he had never washed his person ;
and until he was forcibly removed from the place, he had
frequently boasted that his house had never been cleaned
for seventeen years ! his bed being the ashes from under
the grate, and a tin can for his pillow. Had not these
facts been proved before the jury, it might be reasonably
doubted if the whole were not an exaggerated romance.
LEAGUE VOTE MANUFACTURING.—A case has just
come before the revising barrister for the West Riding of
Yorkshire, which exemplifies the industry with which the
League have been pursuing their vocation of vote manu-
facturing in that, and doubtless in other parts of the
country. An opposition was offered by the. Conservatives
to the vote of a Mr. Joseph Bottomley on the ground that
the mode in which he acquired his vote came within the
statute 7 and 8 William 111, commonly called the split-
ting act, which declares that all conveyances "in order
to multiply voices or to split and divide the interest in any
house or lands amongst several persons, to enable them
to vote at the election of members to serve in Parliament,
shall be void and of non-effect, and that no mora than one
single voice shall be admitted for one and the same house
and tenement." The qualification for which Bottomley
claimed was one thirty-fifth part of some land and cot-
tages attached to the mill of a manufacturer and leaguer
named Crossland, which had been purchased by Bottom-
ley and thirty-four others, for the purpose of securing
votes. Through an agent of the League each party had
paid £4O and the cost of conveyance of the property ; and
having done so they leased it back again to Crossley for
the term of fifteen years. The revising barrister, Mr.
Harden, decided that the case of Bottomley did not come
within the statute pleaded and allowed the vote. The
League therefore gain thirty-five active supporters by this
merely colourable transaction. How are Conservatives
to fight against such tactics except with the same activity
and the same weapons ?
