Various expedients have, from time to time, been em-
ployed to teach the good folk.; of Liverpool how to walk
the street•. All reason hiving, however, hitherto failed
to accomplish this desideratum, an attempt has been made
to shame them into compliance; and the following cour-
teous placard appears upon the •walls of the town : " Re-

YARMOUTH, .SEPT. 11.--OR Thursday,the 28th ult., Mr.
Schow, the Danish Consul, arrived here from Plymouth, in
a chaise and four, upon an especial charge from his Sove-
reign, to deliver to Captain Manby a gold medal, together
with a letter, as an acknowledgment of his exertions in
saving the lives of the crews of two Danish shipn reeked
vessels.

A very injurious report, totally unfounded,
having been circulates' in respect to a most unfortunate
accident which has befallen Mr. J. Pitblington, jun. a gen
demon well known in the Agricultural circles of Norfolk,
we have authority to contradict the rumour. Mr. P. has
received the contents of a gun in his face and mouth, the
shot coming out at his left temple, and being thus deprived
of the power of speech, has been unable to explain how the
accident occurred, hot that it is an accident no doubt is
entertained.—(Nortrich Mercury.)
Cusioca Roanzuv--On Friday last, a young woman
of the name of Brockwell, about 26 years of age,

Mind in the Thames near the King's Arms, public-house,
Lambeth, and taken to the White Hart. The Undertaker
having been sent for, the body was placed in a coffin, but in
the course of last night it was stolen away. Thus the grave
bas been robbed of its due, by some person or persons
unknown ; but it is generally supposed that the act has
been done by resurrection men, as on ent.-ring the room
this morning the coffin was found to be empty.
Tue CHRISTIAN WOMAN.—Sono gentlemen of a Bible
'Association lately calling npoo an obt woman to see if she
had a Bible, were severely reproved with a spiritual reply,
" Do you think, geetlemon, that I am a Heathen, that you
should ask me such a question ?" Then, addressing a little
girl, she said, " Run and fetch the Bible out of my drawer,
that I may show it to the gentlemen." The gentlemen de-
clined giving her the trouble, but she insisted on giving
them ocular demonstration that she was no Heathen. Ac-
cor.lingly the Bible was brought, nicely covered; and on
oi•.ning it, the out woman exclaimed, " Well, how glad I
sus that you have cotac: here are my spectacles, that I have
been !oohing for these three years, and did'nt know where
to find 'em."—(Ctt &tie Journal )
As David Dairies, of Glynn, near Llangollen, was return-
ing home from a funeral, on the night of the 13th ult , he
was conducted (being consider.blY intoxica,e(l,) within
half a mile of his house by a bleed man, who then left him.
Not arriving in time several men went to look for him,
when, after nearly a fortnight's search, he vas found dead
in a small rivulet near the house.

An inquest was held on Monday week at the Black Cross
Inn, Bromsgrove, before Mr. Hellen, Coroner, on the body
of a man named Levi Brown, who was killed on the Satur-
day night previous in a pugilistic comkat with James Sand-
ford, when, after a patient investig4tion of all the circum-
stances.theJury returned a ►erdict of Manslaughter against
Sandford, and also against William Kay and Robert Bing,

trials at the next Lent Assizes for the county.

--(Nottingham Review.)
On Friday last, an inquest was taken before Thomas
Wright, gent. coroner, on view of the body of Joseph Rig-
ley, a person in the employ of Messrs. (Jervas Bourn and
Co. at the Babbington Colliery, in the pa• ish of Greasley.
It appeared that time deceased was a person employed to
land the carf of coals at the top of the shaft, and standing
on the brig-tree, the usual place, prepared to receive the
carf which was near the top, the iron chain by which the
carf of coals was raised, suddenly broke, and the broken
end thereof recoiling with great force and violence over the
machinery, struck the deceased on the top of the head, by
which he received a violent and mortal fracture of the skull,
which instantly deprived him of life. Verdict, accidental.
The unfortunate man was (leaf and dumb.

On Monday se'nnight, an Inquisition was taken at
FAgeot, Northamptonshire, en view of the body of John
Sabin, about 17 years of age, servant in husbandry to Mr.
John Gardner, of that parish, who, on the preceding day,
was killed by the discharge of a blunderbuss. It appeared
in evidence that Mr. Gardner employed a young man named
Thomas Sabin, to keep the birds from his corn, and for
that purpose gave him a blunderbuss and some charges of
powder carefully tied up in separate papers, to tire off
occasionally, to frighten them away. That the deceased
went with Sabin into the field about three o'clock on Sun-
day afternoon, where he loaded the blunderbuss with some
lead slugs, and shortly afterwards pointed the muzzle to-
wards himself. saying to his companion. "how easy any
body might shoot themselves, either in the head or the
body," when the piece accidentally went off, and lodged
the whole contents in his body just below the breast bone.
Surgical aid was immediately called in, but without effect,
and he died about eight o'clock the same evening. The
deceased was perfectly sensible nearly the whole time, sod
told his muter and the surgeon how the accident happened,
which confirmed the statement given in evidence by his
companion. Verdict—Accidental Death.

HEAD OFFICE OF POLICE, DCBLIN, SEPT. 15.

Informations were this day sworn at the Head Office of
Police, under the following circumstances:—
A Mrs. Charlotte Desmond stated, that she had in her
possession on Sunday, the 14th instant, four notes of
the Bank of Ireland, of the value of one hundred pounds
each, the property of her husband, Mr. Patrick 1./..sinond.
She and her husband lived separate, an 1 a Mrs. Se!line,
in whose house. in Abbey Street, they had lodged, called
on her, and idered to get one of the notes changed for
I her, hut she declined giving her the note. A man, named
John Browne, then called on Mre. Desmond, and sail,
that he could get the four notes changed by a Dutch mer-
chant who was then in town. Browne also wanted Mrs.
Desmond to go back to live at Mrs. Sollins's, but she said
that she would not. John Browne, jun . son to the former,
afterwards called on Mts. Desmond; there were some
gold rings lying on the table, and he took up one of them,
and asked her would she give it to him if he would get the
notes cashed for her; she said she would, provided his father
would not charge any thing fur changing them. lie then told
her to call on his father, at No. 64, Dame street; she declined
doing so then, but on the same day, (Sunday last,) at live
o'clock, she went there, having previously sent word that
she was going; she was atrompanied on this occasion
by a Mrs. Maria Gogarty, and a Mr. Patrick Kelly.—
lohn Browne. jun. met them at the carriage door, and
chewed Mrs. Desmond and Mr. Kelly up stairs, where
Mr Browne, see. was, Mrs. Gogarty remaining in the
carriage. do their going np stairs Mr. Browne, son. ap.
geared dissatisfied at Mrs. Deamoid's having brouilit Mr
Kelly with her, and inquired who he was: Mrs. D•ottiond
said, he was a particular friend of !wt.'s, and Browne said
she should not have doubted him, and need not have
brought any perion with her. He then showed Mr. Kelly
into another recto, and asked her, bad she tl e n 'tea ? she
said she had, and then laid iloWn Cuur notes of the Bank of
Ireland. of the value of one hundred pounds ends, which
were taken np by Browne, jun , who said he would go and
get them changed, and would return in ten minutes.
Browne, seo. said•that he might take fifteen minutes. Ile
then disappeared, taking the notes with him. and since that
time Mra. Desmond has seen neither him nor the notes. In
consequence of his not returning, Browne, sen. was, after
much difficulty. apprehended, un which ticeasion be became
very abit-ive, and threatened to charge Mrs. Desmond on
the watch.

Mrs. Maria Gogarty corroborated the eatement of Mrs.
Desmond as far as she was concerned ; and also stated,
that Mrs. Desmond lodged in the Caine house with her; that
in consequence of her being separate from her husband,
she went at her request, accompanied by a Mrs. Gardiner,
to Mr. Desmond, to inquire what his intentions were re-
specting Mrs. Desmond, who was then very ill. Mr.
Desmond gave her two pounds two shillings on that oc-
casion, and told her to employ the best physician, and
that he would call and take Mrs. Dimond away. Mrs.
Desmond had sent her husband word that she bad the
money, and he slept thereon the following Tuesday night;
he also visited Mrs. Desmond on Wednesday, and it was in
eonseq'r•nce of Mrs. Desmond getting uneasy at his not
coining on Thursday, that Gogarty and Mrs. Gardiner
called on Mrs. Desmond. Mrs. Sallins afterwards
called on Mrs. Desmond. and stron4ly urged her not to give
op the money or go hack to her husband; she said to
Mrs. Demand, "don't believe a word the rascal says; so
sure as you will give him the four hundred pounds he'll leave
you thrown on the world." Mrs. Gogarty also stated, that
when she remained in the carriage at No. 00, Dame-street, and
when Mrs. Desmond end Mr. Kelly had gone up stairs to Mr.
Browne, she saw John Browne, jao. come out of the house,
and go quickly down Dame-street ; this was in about a quarter
of an hour after Mrs. Desmond hid gone up stairs. Mrs. Go-
garty was then invited up stairs, and Mr. John Browne, sen.
who was there, said that he had got the notes. They remained
there twill twelve o'clock that night, during which time John
Browne, jun. did not return. Mrs. Gogarty then suspecting a
dishonest intention, locked the hall-door to prevent the escape
of John Browne, son. Ile then attempted to get out by tne
shop, and abused them, and said that he would deny having
got the money. He was ultimately taken into custody by the

_
Mr. Pat. Desmond, Mr. Pat. Kelly. and Mr. John Pander,
lodged informations corroborative of tne above.
Mr. John Browne, sen. and Mrs. Saltine have been com-
mitted to Newgate. . _

The four notes missing are numbered, 1410, 1441, 1442,
and 1443. They are all dotted lhh of tugust, ItitS, are of the
Bank of Ireland, and are of the value of one hundred pounds
eael.

The Argo, P. Tine, from Amsterdam, arrived at Cowes
yesterday with 3DO foreign passengers as settlers, bound to
Rio Janeiro. _

On Wednesday afternoon, about five o'clock, a most de
structive fire broke out in a very large stack of wheat, in a
field belonging to Mr. Blagg, at the Red Lodge, on the
Foss road, betwixt Bingham and Newark, which burnt with
unabating fury until eleven o'clock at night, by which time
the whole, containing, by estimation, *hoot one hundred and
twenty quarters of corn, resembled an immensely large red
furnace, or pile of glowing fire. This melancholy accident
is attributable to the earelessiseet (we hope ',via no other
comet.) of a woman, a gleaner, who had placed a basket,
with her pipe, which she had been smoking, with glowing
rrobers therein, near the same stack. This woman had
been repeatedly warned by Mr. !Pegg, and even threatened
with a severe castigation, for panning this dangerons
practice, near such combustible materials as dry corn to the
straw ; for these admonitions and threats, she returned a
torrent of abuse. We are sorry to say, the whole was de-
stroyed. From seven to nine o'clock, the flames, as seen
from the bills near Bingham, a distance of three or four
miles, illuminated the whole north-eastern hemisphere, for
such was the bearing from that place, and, at intervals,
seemed to approach the zenith.

this was decided by the Stewards and the Gentlemen ap, oint-
ed from the Club to be a false .itart, and the race was att-a-

Fuse START.—Sherwood made very severe play, and k.;pi
the :sad up to the Red house, when he was headed by the Comte
d'Artois. and some severe running then took place between the
Comte, Barefoot, and Rosanne, the latter winning by only a
head. Tinker was beat early, and Barefoot was shut out is
running.—Run in three mi utes, twenty-three seconds.

A wager was lately ma le at a public-house in Manchester
between a calenderer and two other persons ; the terms were
that the calenderinan, having two yenta start allowed him,
should run a hundred yards with a wheelbarrow, sosner
than the other parties, without any such ineutobrance ;
theicalendereeistipuleting that he slionlil choose the grotto
and that the others should not touch him during the raee.
They went out forthwith to decide the wager, and the
calenderer chose a narrow passage in Chorlton Row, which
afforded the requisite length, and wan throughout so narrow,
that the wheelbarrow completely filled it up. Here he
trotted leisurely behind his vehicle, much more to the amuse.
mein of the bystanders than of his antagonists, and won
the wager without difficulty.
A Roax.—On the 2.1 instant, as Mr. Joseph Lee, a respect-
able plumber and glazier, was at work on the premises of Mr.
L. Hell, of Bramcote, having observed s number of partridges
running across the field, he immediately set some engines,
which he made out of his horse's tail, that was standing by, to
capture some of the game, when a game-keeper, who was otti
the look out, observiiki • man, whose appearance indicated
that he had caught a prize, immediately took him before Win.
Charlton, Esq. one of the County Magistrates; and, lo! when
he came to be examined, he produced a certificate, and also a
legal qualification, which not only astonished the keeper, bet
surprised the Magistrate; who not being satisfied with the
identity and qualifications of 11r. Lee, who referred it to a far-
ther hearing on Saturday last, before the bench of Magistrates
at the County Ilad, when his qualification underwent a strict
sc why ; and to the disappointment of the informer. the r•
plaint was dismis.ed, and Mr. Lee was admitted to he duly
qualified.
ODD CIRCUMSTANCE.—Saturday night Site landlord of the

attributed to the entrance of thieves. lie armed himself ac-
cordingly with a broad sword foe his protection, determined to
capture the robbers, or fail in the Attempt, having previously

something white, as if it were a thief in his shirt; he rushed
forward undismayed, hut out levelling a Wow at the object, it
