horses for the good' of the public, nay, to enrich the pub-
lic, instead of growing rich myself ; for my house was
an open one. I made more of my land than any man. 1.
let for the season in 1789 three rams at one birth of one
ewe at 1,200 gs. and seven for 2000 ; and of one ram, with
taking in ewes, reckoning my own ewes at the same

see the like again !

Prince Albert and the Duke of Cambridge have signified
their intention of becoming members of the committee of
public. baths and wash-houses in the north-west district of
London ; and the Queen and Prince Albert have deter-
mined to contribute £lOO in aid of the establishment.

The body of a young man, named Young, has been
found at Kilmarnock, with a deep•gash in his throat. It
is supposed that he has been murdered, as he was robbed
of his watch and money. An Irishman has been appre-
hended on suspicion, in consequence of his having em-
ployed an acquaintance to pawn the watch.
Torn Steele, Ireland's Pacificator, is lingering under
severe illness at Peele's Coffee-house, Fleet-street. This
unfortunate gentleman will be removed to Ireland with-
out delay, if he recover sufficient strength to, enable him
to bear the fatigue of the journey. At present his imme-
diate friends are under great apprehensions as to the state
of his health.

IMPORTATION OF ARMS.—A.vessel arrived in the river
from Gibraltar has brought several packages of muskets,
consigned to a foreign house in the metropolis. As the
importation of foreign arms into this country is totally
prohibited they have not been delivered to the parties,
but have been landed under detention, subject to the
directions of the government authorities.

SALE OF POLICIES OF ASSURANCE.—A policy of as-
surance for £l,OOO, in the -Union Life Office, on the life
of a gentleman, aged 71, annual premium £3B-19s. 2d.,
was sold at Garraway's, on Wednesday, for £5OO ; also,
one in the Kent Life Assurance Office for £7OO, annual
payment £2O Bs. 6d., £380; and one in the London Life
Assurance Office for £l,OOO, annual payment £37 10s.,

The manufacturing operatives have forwarded to the
Queen a gold medal and an address of thanks for the
royal assent given to the Ten Hours' Bill, now in full
operation. Sir George Grey, in reply to Lord Ashley,
assures the operatives of " Her Majesty's deep interest in
all that concerns the happiness, comfort, and permanent
welfare of her faithful and loyal subjects, of whom they
form so important a nart.
EXTRAORDINARY DISCOVERY.—On Saturday, whilst
the workmen were engaged in an excavation in Union-
street, Southwark, they came upon an immense mass of
human skeletons, which were lying piled with the great-
est regularity, without any admixture of earth or the
remnant of coffins. It is calculated that at the very
least there are the remains of from five to six hundred
persons. Considerable excitement prevails in the neigh-
bourhood, it having_ been discovered that this spot was
used to bury the dead during the great plague of London.

HAIL-STORM.—A, terrificiail-aorm-decended on and
around the village of Sheepscombe, Gloucestershire. about
two o'clock on Wednesday the 17th ult. The hail-stones
covered the fields to the depth of two inches, and in some
places as much as from three to four inches deep, and they
had not disappeared on the next morning. Immediately
before the fall of hail, a most vivid flash of lightning, ac-
companied by, a stunning clap of thunder, struck a large
ash-tree, shivering it from top to bottom, and strewing its
bark and branches in all directions, but fortunately doing
no further damage.
A respectable tradesman in London, whose wife was
taken in labour in the night, ran as fast as he possibly
could for an accoucheur. A policeman on duty in the
neighbourhood, seeing the defendant running, suspected
that something was wrong, and stopped him. The defen-
dant told him his errand, but the officer not being satisfied
would not allow him to proceed. Defendant then knocked
him down, and by the fall the policeman's leg was broken.
The tradesman was tried for the assault at the Central
Criminal Court on Saturday, and sentenced to six months'
imprisonment.
WAGHORN ON EMIGRATION.—In a pamphlet, Mr.
Waghorn has sketched out some most important sugges-
tions for emigration to Austria on an extensive scale.
Like Mr. Alison, the historian, he shows how our men-of-
war and mercantile navy might be usefully employed in
conveying our surplus population to a region where " the
people are 180,000, the cattle 2,000,000, the sheep
8,000,000 ; being about thirteen head of oxen and fifty
sheep for each person • and where the superabundance of
food is wasted for want of mouths, the corn shed for want
of reapers, and the wool impaired for want of shearers."
EMIGRATION TO AUSTRALIA.—Few persons are aware
of the extensive emigration which is going on from the
port of London to the Cape and all the Australian colo-
nies. Ships, freighted with men, women, and children,
sail daily from Gravesend to all parts of South Australia
or the Cape of Good Hope, and numerous others are being
taken up to supply the constant demand for accommoda-
tion for conveyance to those colonial possessions. On
Thursday we visited a remarkably fine ship at Deptford,
engaged to convey emigrants to Sydney. She is named
the Castle Eden, and is of about 900 tons new, with ac-
commodation for 230 men, women, and children.
STRANGE CHARGE.—On Wednesday, at Marlborough-
street Police-office, W. Lye, butler to Lady Elizabeth
Repton, attended in consequence of a summons having
been served upon her ladyship, charging her with having
caused a carriage and pair of horses to be driven up near
Gibb's-gate, Finchley-road, and giving to her footman a
letter, with which he passed through the gate, thereby
evading the payment of toll, amounting to ls., and which
offence rendered her ladyship amenable to a penalty not
exceeding £s.—The buttler admitted, on the part of her
ladyship, the nonpayment, but urged that the carriage had
not passed through the gate.—The magistrate decided
the case by ordering that her ladyship should pay ss. for
the offence, 2s. costs, and ss. for expenses incurred.

THUNDER STORM.—On Monday a fearful thunder-
storm took place at East Retford, near Doncaster. The
flashes of lightning were excessively vivid, and the peals
of thunder rolled with tremendous effect. A " breball"
exploded near the Independent Chapel, and a few yards
off the lightning struck a small grocer's shop, shattering
the chimney-pots to atoms, driving the broken fragments
clean through the roof, and dislodging a considerable
number of tiles. The fluid descended the flue and en-
tered the shop, where a female was serving a customer.
It knocked her down and made its exit into the street,
smashing to atoms thirteen squares of glass in the front
windows ; in the back window also three squares were
broken. A box of cigars was destroyed ; a stone of soap
was reduced to a kind of pulp ; and tea and rice were
scattered in every direction. The rain afterwards fell in
torrents, and hail also.
SINGULAR AND MELANCHOLY DEATHS OF TWO BRO-
THERS.—A man was drowned on Tuesday while bathing
at the sands, near Tower-street, Leigh. His name was
William Landale, and he belonged to North Leith. He
was scarcely in three feet water, when it is supposed he
was seized with apoplexy, as he fell suddenly down, and
although assistance was speedily procured, life was extinct.
The person in whose house deceased lodged having got
the alarm of the above melancholy occurrence, hurried
down to the sands, and when he returned to the house
found the brother of the deceased, who also lodged with
him, a corpse ! The cause of his death we have not
heard.; but it is said that he had been living irregularly
for some days previous. He was about twenty-four years
of age, and wrought occasionally as a porter. The two
brothers, %hose deaths, arising from separate causes, were
all but simultaneous, were interred together on Thursday.

SINGULAR DEATH.--PRUSSIC ACID IN CHERRY
STONES.—An inquest was held at Corfe Mullen, a few
days since, on the body of Mary Anne Clark, an interest-
ing child, six years of age, daughter of Mr. James Charles
Clark, gardner to George Harris, Esq. of Henbury House.
It appeared that the deceased, with her little sister, one
y ear her junior, went into the garden adjoining their cot-
tage, and with the assistance of a garden rake, got down
some unripe cherries from a tree there, of which they
partook. Shortly after eating them, they were both
taken seriously ill, and within five hours the deceased had
ceased to exist. Her sister, who appears to be of a strong
constitution, though alarmingly ill for two days, is likely
to recover, The jury, were satisfied that the death of the
child was caused by the prussic acid contained in the
stones of the cherries which she had swallowed.—Devizes
Gazette.

SIGNS OF RETURNING CONFIDENCE IN MONETARY
MATTERS.—We record with sincere pleasure—and we
think we cannot possibly adduce more satisfactory evi-
dence of the fact—that there is neither want of money
nor of purchasers where money's worth is to be obtained,
as the following enumeration of bond fide sales, effected at
high prices in the course of the last few days, must clearly
prove :—Sales of estates at Garraway's Coffee-house, by
Messrs. Farebother, Clarke, and Lye, on the 31st of May
—A copyhold farm, at Hurstperpoint, near Cuckfield, with
farm-house and buildings, and ]OO acres of land, £4,100,
Dagnalls Park estate, between Norwood and Croydon.
consisting of a residence and 22 acres of land, £5,500. A
capital leasehold mansion, held for 70 years, at £lOO per
annum, in Queen's-road, Kensington, (unfinished, and
subject to a mortgage of £5,000,) £6,800; and several
estates, houses, and other property, also found purchasers.

GREENLAND FISHERY.—The Hamilton Ross of Peter-
head, arrived at Aberdeen on Monday last, from the
fishing, with 12,000 seals and reports as follows :—The
Hull vessels all clean ; of the Dundee vessels, the Fairy
clean; of the Dundee vessels, the St. Andrew, Flamingo,
and Mary, clean ; of the Peterhead vessels, the Superior,
clean ; the Traveller and Commerce not seen, but sup-
posed to have taken the ice at the same time as the Ham-
ilton Ross ; the Dublin, 10,000 seals ; the Eclipse, 10,000
ditto ; the Enterprise, with seals, but the quantity un-
known ; the Hamilton Ross, 12,000 seals ; the Resolution,
9,400 ditto • the North of Scotland, clean ; the Union,
clean, the Victor, clean. The seals were all got in March,
and only a few fortunate ships fell in with them. The
Hamilton Ross left the ice on the 6th of May ; made her
fishing in 73 45 north ; saw the superior on the 6th of
May, with 40 seals, who reported all the British ships
clean, unless those mentioned, but could give no dates.
Six or seven of the Dutch vessels had from 2,000 to 5,000.
seals each ; but all the others reported clean by the Su-
perior.—Aberdeen Journd.
A NEW ADVENTURE.--An eApedition, altogether no-
vel at this port, has, within the last few days, been fitted
out and despatched, at the sole expense f Mr. John
Bowlby, who, at his own risk, has determined to try whe-
ther the fishery for cod at Davis' Straits cannot be suc-
cessfully carried on. He has, therefore, purchased her
Majesty's late revenue cutter Bee, of the burthen of 70
tons, and a schooner named the Seaflower, of the burthen
of 190 tons, and having thoroughly fitted, equipped, and
stored them for the business, they left this port, the Sea-
flower about ten days ago, and the Bee on Tuesday last,
for the before-mentioned fishing-ground. The crew of
the former consists of sixteen hands, of whom Captain
Smith is the commander, whilst Captain Weldon has
charge of the Bee, whose crew numbers nine persons.
Each ship's company includes a proper proportion of
Orkneymen, trained to the fishing business, by whom it
is intended that the fish, as caught, shall be headed, gut-
ted, backboned, salted, and packed. On arrival here the
cargoes will be landed at the proprietor's establishment
at Stoney-ferry, on the river Hull, where the process of
cleaning and curing will be completed, and the articles
will be ready for use or exportation. We believe that
there exists in the trade of this port, with several parts of
the world, a fair outlet for the commodity, which, in ad-
dition to home consumption, will, we hope, not only ren-
der Mr. Bowlby's present speculation a profitable one,
but cause others to imitate his example.—Hull Adver-
tiser.

FRIGHTFUL AND FATAL BOILER. EXPLOSION.—On
Friday morning early, .a boiler connected with a puddling
engine of the iron works of Mr. Jeffries, Harts-hill, near
Dudley, burst with a tremendous explosion, which was
heard two miles off. The men who had been working
during the night had just left, and fortunately compara-
tively few of the day-men had arrived, when the accident
occurred. The brickwork in which the boiler was encased
was torn asunder, and propelled in every direction. The
roof of the works was blown completely away ; several large
furnace chimneys were smashed to atoms ; and the ruins of
the whole fell upon the unfortunate men who were at work
in the premises, or who were about to begin work. Por-
tions of the boiler and brickwork were thrown immense dis-
tances; and, some of them .falling into the neighbouring
workshops, rendered the whole premises a complete ruin.
A portion of the boiler, weighing not less than 26 cwt.,
was blown a distance of? a quarter of a mile. Up to Fri-
day night ten bodies had been extricated. Several of them
have left wives and families. Amongst the persons injured
was a girl who was 150 yards from the spot, when a brick
alighted on her head, and hurt her very severely.
THE DIORAMA. REGENT'S PARK, LONDON.—The new
picture (for this season) is a view of Mount Etna, painted
by M. Diosse, pupil of M. Dagurre, and is designed to
show the various effects of light and shade by which
dioramic views are distinguished. The point of view
appears to have been remarkably well chosen, being a spot
near the ruins of the Theatre at Taormina. The picture
is seen under three different aspects—evening with moon-
light effects, sunrise, and night, or in comparative dark-
ness, and under the representation of an eruption of the
mountain. The picture appears almost the place it rep-
resents, the pictorial illusion producing an apparent
reality. The perfect representation of interiors of build-
ings had been before obtained, and is an easier task. The
evening view is remarkably beautiful as regards the sky
and clouds, and is worthy of great praise. The view by
sunlight is brilliant and well toned, the coloring being
subdued by the tints of nature, and having less of the
gaudy glare by which some pictures of this class have
been disfigured. The view of the eruption is also well
managed ; there is no scenic effect and nothing is exag-
gerated.— Times.
ATTEMPTED DISTURBANCES BY THE IRISH IN LONDON.
—On the arrival in London of the inteiligence of
Mitchel's conviction,, various clubs of Irish assembled,
partly armed with muskets and pikes, in Clerkenwell-
green, where they were harangued by a Mr. Williams,
with other speakers, by whom they were requested
to follow him four abreast where he would lead
them. The procession moved through the city to
Finsbury-square, where the word was given " to the
west." They then proceeded by Leicester-square to
Trafalgar-square, increasing in numbers as they went
along, and encouraged by exhortations to " be firm,"
" the time has now arrived," &c. Here, however, they
were stopped by a strong body of police, when they were
addressed by the leaders, who said that they had been
disappointed in their expectations, and advised them to
disperse, and. meet again on Wednesday evening.—On
Tuesday a similar demonstration was attempted, but the
police were prepared, and being ordered to clear the
streets, they were obliged to resort to violent measures.
Several persons were knocked down and severely injured.
—On Wednesday a third attempt of the same kind was
made ; but a large police and military force, particularly
a troop of Life Guards, caused the crowds instantly to
disperse.

AN INNOCENT MAN IMPRISONED.—The Doncaster
Gazette notices a singular disclosure which has recently
been made at Gainsbro'. On Easter Monday, an alarm
was created by the continued ringing of the bell at the
Grammar School. Numbers of persons hastened to the
spot, and found the servants greatly alarmed, in conse-
quence of an attack which they stated had been made on
the house-burglars. From the description given of one
of them, a man was taken into custody, examined before
the magistrates, and the girls swearing positively to his
dress and voice, he was committed to Kirton gaol. All
these facts were made public at the time. From state-
ments made, it appears that, on the Monday evening allu-
ded to, two young gentlemen made a call on Mr. Willan,
and as the servant girls were alone in the house, as a
matter of precaution they asked the names of the persons
who demanded admittance; this was twice refused, and
the girls naturally enough became alarmed, rang the bell,
and the visitors becoming perplexed in return walked
away, and actually met several persons coming to render
assistance. Some days elapsed before they became aware
that a man had been sent to Kirton on the charge of at-
tempting a burglary ; and they put themselves in commu-
nication with the magistrates' clerk, who at once wrote to
the secretary of state, detailing the above facts. No reply
was received, and the poor fellow had been in gaol since
the 26th of April last, suffering for a crime of which he
was innocent, until Sunday last, when the clerk received
a communication from the secretary of state, granting
the man a free pardon.

DOUBLE MURDER IN HUNTINGDONSHIRE.—On the
30th ult. a lengthened investigation took place into the
death of Harriet Burton, wife of Charles Burton, huckster,
and Mary Ann, his daughter, both of whom were found
with their throats cut at Stilton, in the morning of Mon-
day last. At the close of the proceedings a verdict of
" Wilful Murder " was returned against Charles Burton,
then in custody. Since Monday the miserable man has
confessed to the surgeon who attended him the particulars
of the sanguinary deed. He said, " I first cut my wife's
throat, when she was between asleep and awake, but find-
ing herself wounded, she jumped out of bed and rushed
towards the window, whence she shrieked Murder !' I
then immediately cut the throat of my little girl, and hav-
ing done so, I rushed at my wife, and, clasping her round
the waist, I repeated the stroke across her neck. She
then fell dead at my feet. I then made an attempt upon
my own throat, but I was seized before I accomplished
my purpose." Upon being questioned as to the cause
which induced him to commit the rash at, he said,
trouble caused me to contemplate suicide. I intended to
destroy myself; but, knowing that I should leave my wife
and children in penury, I thought it best that we should
all die together." It appears that, on Saturday night,
when the unhappy man went to the razor grinder's for the
purpose of getting his razor sharpened, he was disap-
pointed in the rtceipt of a sum of money left him by a de-
ceased relative, and, having contracted a few debts, he
was fearful he should not be able to discharge them ; hence
the awful occurrence. On Wednesday he made a will,
leaving the whole of his property to his son George, who
was absent from home at the time the fatal deed was com-
mitted.

MELANCHOLY DEATH OF Two SISTERS.—Two young
females, sisters, named Ellen and Jane Hughes, aged re-
spectively 19 and 15, were recently in the service of a
gentleman named Cooper, at Southampton, when the
elder girl was dismissed for impertinence, and her sister
refused to remain without her. They were seen by seve-
ral persons during the two or three following days, and
seemed in good spirits, though they said that rather than
go home to their mother, who was cohabiting with a man
to whom she was not married, they would throw them-
selves over the quay. They had both complained of ill-
treatment from their mother, and the younger girl had
been severely beaten by the man, previous to their going
to service. On Monday, the Sth ultimo, according to the
evidence of their mother, they called at her house at
Horton Heath, and told her of their having left their
place, and said they were going to another situation. She
accompanied them back into Southampton, when they
gave an address as the place they were going to. On Sa-
turday morning, the 13th ultimo, between seven and nine
o'clock, they were again at Horton Heath in their mo-
ther's garden. She asked them the reason of their being
there, when they told her they had got a holiday, and
come to see her ; that they had arrived at ten o'clock the
night before, but as she was gone to bed they did not like
to disturb her, and they had been lying there all night.
They went in and had breakfast with her, and remained
till two o'clock, when they left, as they alleged, to go
back to their place in Southampton. Ellen said, " Mo-
ther, go down to the bottom of the garden with us."
She went, and they then kissed her, and said, " Good
bye, God bless you," after which she saw them no more.
On Tuesday, the 16th, having suspected that something
was wrong, she went to Southampton and inquired for
the address they gave her, when she found there was no
such person or place, nor could she hear anything of
them. The last that was seen of the unhappy and un-
fortunate girls, after this, was by a person named Wm.
Purkiss, who saw them sitting on the rails of the bridge,

over the brook in which they were found, at six o'clock

on the same evening of the 13th. Their death occurred,
no doubt, very shortly after this time, as they were not
seen afterwards alive. The bodies were found several
yards from the bridge, and had probably-floated down'the
stream. They were lying clasped in each other's arms,
their arms being round each other's waists; and they
appeared to have been in the water seven or oight days.—
Hampshire Independent.

DREADFUL SUFFERINGS OF THE CAPTAIN AND C REW
OF A BRIG BELONGING TO HULL.—For some months
past great anxiety has been felt by many parties in Hull
in consequence of the non-arrival, in due time, of the brig
" Viatka." She was commanded by Captain Chambers,
and left Archangel on the 30th of September, bound for
Hull. All the other vessels from that port arrived suc-
cessively, though late, but the Viatka did not appear, and
after a lapse of time was given up for lost. Nothing was
heard of her until the 30th of March, when intelligence
reached this country that she had put back into Jokan
Harbour, in Cape Sweetnose Bay, on the 20th of Decem-
ber, with her cargo much heated, but the crew all safe.
Information was subsequently received of her arrival at
Berwick on the 26th ult., and on Wednesday last she ar-
rived at Hull, She had on board a cargo of linseed co-
dilla. Off Cape North she encountered . a succeesion of
hurricanes from the S.W. The linseed, in consequence,
became so much heated that great fears were entertained
that she would take fire. The captain bore up for Ham-
merfest, but, through stress of weather, she did not reach
it, and, after other hardships, reached Jokan Harbour.
There the frost set in, and the island, as described, is one
of the most dreary which the imagination can depict. Not
a single human being was to be seen anywhere around,
and the whole landscape was a vast ridge of mountains,
covered with snow. The state of the weather and the
cargo precluded all possibility of reaching Archangel or
any other port, and they were therefore obliged to remain
in this desolate region. On their arrival their provisions
became so diminished that they were constrained to put
themselves on a most limited allowance. Their fresh water
also failed them, but of this they supplied themselves from
the snow. In this miserable position they continued for
six weeks without seeing a single inhabitant. On the 25th
of January they at last descried some Laplanders who had
come down to procure food. The captain succeeded in
making them understand that he and his crew were on the
brink of starvation ; but they were little better off them-
selves. They took the captain to Ponoi, sixty miles up
the country. He spent one night with the natives on his
way, but suffered dreadfully from the _cold, not having
necessary clothing. On the following morning he started
with them in a sledge, drawn by rein-deer, for Ponoi. He
reached Ponoi in eight days, but his sufferings during the
journey from the cold were indescribable. During the
time that Capt. Chambers was away the crew were re-
duced to such a condition that they actually cut up all the

spars they could spare, and even the warps, to make fires.
It is utterly-impossible to describe:their miserable position.
On arriving_at Ponoi, Capt. Chambers succeeded in for-
warding letters to the British consul at Archangel, and
obtained money from that place-, which enabled him to
purchase food for himself and crew from the natives. He
also bought a winter dress, such as is worn by the natives,
as he had experienced the most excruciating sufferings
from the cold. Capt. Chambers, on returning, found his
crew all safe, and with the money he had got he obtained
about three weeks' provisions, with which scanty supply
they set sail. They received some assistance from several
vessels on their howeward trip, and arrived at Berwick on
the 26th ult. The crew are now quite recovered after their
great sufferings. _

The case of the " Queen v. Sugden," which remained
over for judgment since last term, was decided on Tues.
day in the Court of Queen's Bench, Dublin. Sir Edwd.
Sugden had appointed his son to the Assistant Registrar-,
ship of the Court of Chancery, which appointment was
impugned by the head clerk, Mr. Kelly, who claimed the
appointment under Lord Plunket's Act, which regulated,
inter alia, the promotion in the Chancery Court. The
case came before the Queen's Bench by quo warranto,
and judgment was given in favour of Mr. Kelly. Thus,
the appointment of the ex-Chancellor in favour of his son
has been set aside. It is likely the matter will come be-
fore the House of Lords.
