Mts. Smut Sown.--The immense wealth which
this extraordinaty woman died possessed of hes na-
turally caused considerable alacrit, and a good deal
of anticipation, among all who think the:melte% enti-
tied to be her heirs. No less than eight carrots barn
already been entered against letters of administration
being granted; among which we find one in behalf of
his Majesty by his Procorator-General, Sir J. Nichol!.
Other competitors for the valuable prize have, how,
ever, started is the sister kingdom. Two fdmilirs.
living at Brown's-grove, near Castletown Roche,
county of Cork, have put forward their claim to the
property, as nephews and neices of the deceased lady.
I t appear.. from a letter which we Lave seen, that Mrs.
Bond bad both a brother and sister in the, county of
Cork, each of whom have left families. John Bond,
the brother, resided at Ballinalisk, in thatzonnty, and
five of his children ; viz. Martha Ann Bond, Graham
Bond, Jaws Bond,Sarak Law, and Susannah Knight,
are now living; as are likewise four children of Sarah
Bend's sister, who married a Mr. O'Connell, their
names are, Harmer O'Connell, Abraham O'Connell,
• Catherine Holmes, and Ann Atkins.
The following were the wholesale price of butchers'
meat is Smithfield market yesterday.
Beef, worst 41. per lb. very best, 50 per lb.
Mutton . 31d. . . . SUL
• Veal . . 51d. . . . 74(i
Pork . . Sld. 644
N.B. Twenty years since, it was reckoned a fair pro-
fit to allow the retail butcher ld, per lb. on the Smith-
field wholesale prices, inasmuch, an the offal. as it is
called, is thrown into the bargain, when they purchase
beasts at Smithfield.

Newcasvt.s, Dec. B.—Wednesday senaight. a IVP•
man of Aydon Beaks, of the extraordinary age
101 bad one of bee arms crushed by p coal-waggon
passieirrer it; she was afterwards brought to the 1 Il•
firmer/Acre, when it was found necessary to amputate
the arm a little higher up. She is doing *ell.
On Wednesday evening last, a fine boy, five years
of age, the son of William Tosh, of Coburg-place,
Stock-bridge, in 'this town, weaver, being left in the
house while the parents were absent, some other chil-
dren came, and they began to play at bide nod seek,
when the joy above-mentioned crept into a closet
ander a staircase, where there was a quantity of stood
shavings ; one of his play-fellows going into this closet
to search for him, with a lighted candle, the sbavioirt
caught fire, and the poor boy was so dreadfully intent
as to cause his death the same events's
&tomtit EVlNT.—Mr.Towers, surgeon of Hen=
dal, last Wednesday attended his wife,. bee mother,
sad another lady on a visit. .Wlie* they retorted, be
deliberately walked into another room and broncht
frost it a doable-barrelled pistol, with a bleb be
shot his *ifs through the head, who immediately fell
do** and expired. He then placed the pistol to his
own bead sad fired, but, although he fractured his
skull, he it likely so recover.—He bad previously
given indissileu el ine,eity.—(Carlisk Joann!)
