LCCAL NEWS:

NARROW Escam—On Wednesday last, as a gentleman
was returning from the race-course, mounted on a spirited gray
mare, he got entangled in the midst of a crowd of vehicles;
As he was going at a pace rather more rapid than prudent, and
urged from behind by several other horsemen, he suddenly
came in contact with a cart which was meeting him. The
shafts of the cart, were broken off by the body, and, one of therd
entering the sealr shoulder of the mare, inflicted a horrible
wound, and brok he scapula to splinters. On the arrival of
the veterinary surkul)n sbe was immediately killed. The rider,
though he was throia down with great Violence, escaped with-
out any further injury than a very trifling bruise on the fore-
head.

TAk. RESISTING VATIIIOTA —On Fridat d deputation of the
Mary-la-bonne Association waited upon Lord Joh❑ Russell, at
the-flome.oftice, and presented a petition to the King, on be-
half of Ford, Drabble, Egerton, and three others, who were
found guilty of committing an assault on a broker when seizing
for King's taxes. About eight o'clock in the evening a dis,
charge for the whole of the prisoners was sent to the King's
Bench, and they were liberated.

NEW POOR LAWS: DISTURBANCES IN BEDFORDSHIRE.—
Disturbances have occurred among the agricultural labourers
at Bedford, and an express reached town on Thursday, solicit-
ing the assistance of the Metropolitan police. We understand
that the paupers demand relief in money, and upon the refusal
of their demand' they attacked the house in which the guar,
dians were assembled, broke the windows and threatened fur-
ther violence. The local Magistrates became alarmed, and
finding the civil force of the town wholly inadequate to the(
preservation of the peace; made application for assistance to the
Home-office, upon which twenty of the Metropolitan police
were dispatched to their aid. '1 he appearance of this force
immediately restored order, and through their exertions.ten of
the -ringleaders-have been arrested and lodged in prison.
THA BAR IN NEW SOUTH Ws Las.—The judges of Sydney
have recently adopted a regulation by which attorneys are no
longer permitted to ,practise, as heretofore, in the character of
counsel. This portion of the btisiness.in court is now assimi-
lated to the rules observed in the courts at home, ann barristera
must be employed in every case. A good deal of dissatisfaction
has been manifested by the attorneys, while, to the barristers,
gre-at advantage is secured; and room is thus afforded for some
of the young aspirants for forensic fame, who are now walking
briefless from court to court with scarce 4y the means of earning
the price of powder for their wigs.

BREACH OP PROMISE. WOOD V., FiuRD.--1t will be recol-
lected that Miss Wood, the pla►ntiff in this case obtained, a ver-
dict in her favour, with an award •of £3,500 damages against
the defendant. On Monday last
_the. Attorney-General moved
for and obtained a rule to show cause why this verdict should
not be set aside, on the ground that the damages were excessive.
The Lord Chief Justice, on granting the ride, said, that perhaps
the parties would have the wisdom to come to a private arrange.;
ment out of court, and by doing so Prevent the necessity of any
further legal proceedings in the case.

DEATH BY BURNING.—On Wednesday last a Coroner's in-
quest was held on the body of John Rish, a child three years
old. The father of the deceeied is a labourer who, with two
other children, lodges with Mary Wood, in Dale-cfturt, Crag-
bie-street. On Tuesday the latter left the deceased sitting
alone beside the fire, while she went to call in his elder brother;
who was playing in the street. She returned in a-few minutes
and saw one of the neighbours running into henhouse, shieking
and exclaiming the child's clothes were on lire. When sheen=
tered she discovered that his pinifo're was in flames; they
quickly sucteeded in extinguishing the burning garment, hut
not before the little creature was so dreadfully scorched about.
the chin and upper part of his throat as to preclude all hopes_ of
his recovery: He expired thd next morning. Verdict; " Ac-

Grand Duke Alerander, eldest son of the Et:Opel-Or iifitussia,wl4
entered on his 18th year on the 29th ult.; was celebrated iviA:
much splendour at Warsaw. The city was illuminated, and we
have no doubt that no feelings but those of general delight on
such an auspicious occasion were expressed.
