real, the success of the conservative cause admits not
question, especially as the result of the last registration was
i
decidedly adverse to the whigs. It is a matter of congratu-
lation to the conservatives that they resisted the insidious
proposal made to them by the whigs-to enter into a compro-
mise by allowing a member of either party to be elected with-
out opposition, for had that compromise been acceded to,
great injury would have been inflicted on the conservative
cause. It is understood that Thursday has been fixed upon
as the day of nomination, and Friday for the commence-
anent of the polling,
so that there is no time to lose. Doubt-
less the contest will be severe, but the victory, by the exercise
of proper and legitimate means, may be fully
assured.

DREADFUL COAL-PIT ACCIDENT.—On Thursday se'n-
night, an accident occurred at Green-bank Colliery, belong-
ing to Mr. Gerard, at Blackrod, by which two aged men
lost their lives. It appears that the men were about leaving
their work, and had to ascend the pit in turns. Mr. Gerard,
who was at the bottom, was about to ascend, but being in
conversation with one of the workpeople, allowed the unfor-
tunate men, who names are James Atherton, aged 51, and
Simon Rogers, aged 54, to ascend in his place. They got in
the tub, and when nearly at the top an accident happened at
the head gearing, by which the tubs became detached, and
the men were precipitated to the bottom, and killed upon the
spot. The pit was exceedingly deep, and such was theim-
pelling force of the fall, that the bone of Atherton's leg was
driven through the heel of the boot.—Bolton Chronicle.
HORRIBLE DEATH.—On Tuesday last an inquest was
held at the Snipe Tavern, Dukenfield, Cheshire, before Mr.
C. Hudson, coroner, on view of the mutilated remains of
James Ogden, aged 43 years. Deceased was an engineer at
the Victoria colliery, Dukenfield (worked by Messrs. Swyer
and Lees), and on Monday was engaged along with several
other men in making some alteration in the rope which drew
the coals up the shaft of the mine. For this purpose the
deceased was standing near the top of the shaft, holding on
by the rope, when, the rope being jerked by some nnaccount-
able cause, he was thrown down the shaft of the mine and
fell to the bottom, a depth of 345 yards. In descending
he came in contact with sundry pumps and pieces of timber,
and on two persons descending to look for him, he was found
quite dead, one side of his head being cut off, both his legs
and thighs, one arm, and part of one side also cut off, his
bowels dashed out, and every bone in his body broken.
MESMERISM EXTRAORDINARY.—A party of gentlemen
of this town having determined to make some experiments
in animal magnetism, or mesmerism, with a view to deter-
mine whether operations could be successfully performed at
a considerable distance, went on Friday last, by railway, to
Brightside ; sending the operator forward to Rotherham.
It was agreed that at a given time the operator should make
the usual manipulations in the station-house, at Rotherham,
when the subject, a young man, should be in a room at
Brightside. Precisely at the time appointed sleep was pro-
duced, and in less than one minute afterwards the young
man was drawn towards Rotherham with a force so power-
full that it took several strong persons to hold him. After
a few minutes were passed, the gentleman about, among
whom was an experienced medical practitioner, were able,
with great exertions, to restore him to partial conscious-
ness; and on the operator arriving by the next train from
Rotherham, he was instantly set right. All present were
perfectly satisfied with the success of the experiment, but
they concurred in saying that great danger would be likely
to result from its frequent repetition. 'When the operator
and the patient can be brought together immediately in cases
of emergency, there is little to fear; and certainly no in-
dividual ought to attempt to magnetise another without being
sure that he can instantly put his patient into a natural state.
The distance from Rotherham station to Brightside station
is three miles and a half; and as the train leaves Rotherham
in a few minutes after its arrival for Brightside and Sheffield,
a similar experiment could scarcely be made in less time.—
Sheffield Iris.

MURDER OE A SON BY HIS FATIIER.—An inquest was
held at• North Coßingham, Nottinghamshire, on the 23rd of
May instant, before Mr. P F. Falkner, coroner, over the
body of Mr. George Raworth, who was a respectable currier,
aged between 30 and 40 years. He lived with his father, but
the latter had never spoken to him for two years. The de-
ceased on Saturday last had put his horse into cart, and was
ready to start to Newark, when a neighbour, Mrs. Gilbert,
called and requested him to wait five minutes whilst she
fetched a basket which she wished him to take to Newark.
She was not absent more than five mniutes, and, not seeing
him in the yard on her return, with the cart, went into the
house, when she found him in an inner room in a state of
great suffering, and scarcely able to speak, with blood flow-
ing profusely from one of his ears, at the back of which he
had received a violent blow. His father who is a shoemaker,
was sitting inSthe same room at his work, quite indifferent
and unconcerned, and offered no assistance, and evinced no
sympathy for his son. A medical man was sent for, and
soon after prr;ved. n„,l tne ueeeaseu rapliny
and insensible, in which state he continued till his death in
tho oveninn% The father at first denied any knowledge of
the injury, but afterwards confessed he had inflicted it with
thick bar of wood, with which the outer door of the house
was fastened, but alleged that his son had provoked him to
it. He had evinced no contrition, and never went near or
inquired after his son, and when speaking of him, after he
had injured him, used oaths and other violent language, by
which the state of his mind towards him was manifested.
On opening the head it was found that the skull was exten-
sively fractured at the back of the ear, and that the deceased
had also received three or four other violent contusions on
the head. The jury immediately returned a verdict of
" Wilful murder," against the father, who was committed
by the coroner to the county gaol, to take his trial at the
next assizes.—Nattingham Journal.
BURNING OF RILEY-HOUSE AND LOSS OF LIFE.—At
a late hour on Wednesday night last accounts were received
in the city, at the principal insurance offices, of a dreadful
fire happening at the village of Hinnock, in Devonshire, on
the afternoon of Monday, which occasioned the total de-
struction of Riley-house, an elegant seat in the occupation
of a gentleman named Weekes, and attended, it is feared,
with loss of human life. From the letters received from the
correspondents and agents connected with the offices in ques-
tion, it appears that Riley-house was a noble brick building,
beautifully situate within a short distance of the village, on
a commanding eminence, surrounded by vallies and pleasure-
grounds. It was built upwards of a century ago, and was
approached by a spacious court-yard. Immediately in the
rear was the farm, which covered a large space of ground,
consisting of one barn, two granaries, cart and coach-house,
stables, cow-houses, and numerous outbuildings. At the
time of the commencement of the fire, which was about half-
past four o'clock in the afternoon, Mr. Ryley and his fa-
mily were out on a visit, leaving two female servants in care
of the premises, and they, it appears, were first alarmed, by
flakes of fire falling down the flue of dining-room chim-
ney, where there was no fire. They immediately proceeded
to examine the cause, but were unable to do so for nearly an
hour, when hearing a crackling noise in the upper room, they
became alarmed, and called in a labourer, who was at work
in one of the neighbouring fields ; on his proceeding into the
uppermost apartments, he discovered the flames breaking
through the ceiling. He directly obtained several buckets
of water, and made great efforts to stop the fire spreading ;
but it had obtained an alarming ascendancy, and soon made
its appearance through the roof. Upon the fire being ob-
served at Hinnock, a great number of persons hastened to
give assistance, and the chief constable started off on horse-
back to South Bovey, a distance of five miles, for the fire-
engines, which were got ready with the utmost alacrity ; but
long before they reached the spot. the terrible conflagration
had spread over the entire premises, and one poor fellow
had perished in the flames in consequence of the floors giv-
ing way upon him while in the act of saving some valuable
property. There were many others with him at the moment,
but they contrived to escape by leaping out of the front and
back windows, without sustaining any injury. Within a
very short time after the flames caught the barn at the back
of the mansion, and subsequently extended, notwithstanding
every possible exertion to prevent it, to the granaries that
adjoined, and afterwards over the whole farm. In less than
two hours not a vestige remained ; all the buildings were le-
velled to the ground, and nothing remained of old Riley-
house but its blackened walls. The fire continued burning
furiously for many hours, during which period thousands of
persons had been attracted to the scene of destruction from
all parts of the surrounding country. The amount of pro-
perty destroyed is stated to be very considerable.—London

Paper.

LASCAR SEAMEN.—On Wednesday, a long investigation
took place before Mr. Baker, coroner, at the Lord Nelson,
East India-road, Poplar, on the body of Ali Gheurn, aged
20, a Malay seaman, on board the George Fourth, East In-
dianian, now lying in the East India Dock. She arrived
about five weeks since from Calcutta, from which place de-
ceased and about 17 other natives came as seamen. He ap-
peared to have very good health on the passage, and up to
Wednesday week, when he complained of pain in his sto-
mach. Witness gave him some castor oil, and he afterwards
seemed a little better. On Friday he became much worse,
but recovered on Saturday. On Sunday be had a relapse,
and appeared dying. He complained of violent pains in the
head and stomach, and witness gave deceased six drops of
lavender spirit to revive him, and then sent for Mr. Bright,
surgeon, of the East India-road, in the meantime himself
applying a mustard poultice to the deceased's chest. Mr.
Bright arrived in about half an hour, before which, however,
the deceased had expired in the most acute agony. In an-
swer to the coroner and jury, the witness stated that when
he considered any of the Lascars dangerously ill, he gene-
!ally sent them to the hospital-ship, but he did not do so
i.lthe present instance. He had unlimited orders from

SINGULAR WILL.-Mr. William Falkons, late of Gates-
head, draper, who died in July last, by his will, proved on the
21st instant, bequeaths £7410 in legacies, varying from £lO
to £3OO, to " industrious and upright professional men,
tradesmen, and others," (in all 101) some of whom, he re-
marks, he had observed contending with difficulties, and yet
preserving their integrity. To one legatee he bequeaths £5O
as a token of his esteem for him in closing his shop on the
Sabbath, which shop had been kept open by the previous oc-
cupier. _

An amusing circumstance occurred at the Dublin Theatre
on Monday. It has lately become the fashion here for the
fair ones of the boxes to fling bouquets of choice flowers on
the stage, in honour of those vocalists whc have become more
than common favourites. Thus during the recent Italian
engagement the stage nightly was literally strewed with " all
sorts of dasies and delicate bells ;" but it was reserved for a
deity in the gallery, on Monday night, to afford a practical
satire on this absurd custom, which, we think, will put a
period to it here. When the enthusiasm created by Miss
Keroble's performance was at its height, there dropped from
the upper regions—not a garland of roses—but—a good sub-
stantial hunch of radishes—the voluntary tribute of some en-
amoured green-grocer to melody and beauty ! Miss Kemble
raised the precious offering—which she did not press to her
bosom, as is the custom, but handed it to Balfe, amid shouts
of laughter from every part of the house, the stage included.
It was positively not a bad joke.—Dublin Evening Packei.
MARRIAGE OF A GIANT AND GIANTESS.—ThI Monday
morning a young man of most gigantic stature was married
at St. Martin's Church by the Rev. M. W. Foye, to a young
woman of proportionate dimensions. The bridegroom, who
is only 23 years of age, is upwards of seven feet in height, with
well-proportioned limbs, and had been exhibited in one of
the travelling collections of monstrosities, which were shown
at our fair last week. His name, as entered in the parish
register, is Frederick Chadwick, and that of his bride is Jane
Grey. It is not a little singular, that only a few years since
the same clergyman united a couple of dwarfs under very
similar circumstances. An immense crowd collected round
the church during the performance of the ceremony, and
many of the public obtained admission. We are told by an
eye witness, that so conscious was he of his immense stature
and singular appearance, that when directed by the clerk to
stand up instead of kneeling down, as he wished to do, he
endeavoured ineffectually to conceal his height by stooping.
—Birmingham Advertiser.
APPALLING SUICIDE.—A woman named Catherine Rice,
the wife of a carpenter of this town, who had been for some
time in a deranged state of mind, was found yesterday in one
of the plantations convenient to Quinville, with her head and
one of her legs separated from her body. A razor was found
near her by which it is supposed she cut her throat, and the
head and leg were it is presumed torn from the body either
by pigs or dogs. The razor was stained with blood. She
left her house on Sunday morning, and strange to tell, she
was observed to take the razor off a shelf, and no effort
seemed to have been ma.d?, to deprive her of it, notwith-
standing her state of mind. tae left four children. Mr.
Greene left town at an early hour this morning, accompanied
by Mr. Fitzimon, 5.1., to inquire into the circumstances.—

LIFTING THE LATCH.—A correspondent has furnished us
with the statement of a very singular occurrence which re-
cently took place in a neighbouring county, but which we
decline publishing in its circumstantial form, at least for the
present. It appears that a certain gay lothario in high life,
not duly influenced by the sacred obligation of the tenth com-
mandment, having been smitten by Cupid's darts, glanced
from the bright blue eyes of a humble cottager's wife, impor-
tuned this Laura of humble life in vain ; but on a luckless
occasion last week he bent his steps to his enslaver's door,
on the information that the gude man was awe, and he
essayed to open the door latch by introducing his finger,
when off was cut the offending member by the knife of the
indignant husband ! Off started poor Don Juan, with but
nine fingers, roaring out that the chartists were coming ! We
understand that the finger was next day found in a garden.—
Monmouth Merlin.

THE DANUBE.—In consequence of the improvement of
the navigation of the Danube by the introduction of nume-
rous steamers, it is now easy to pass in a few days from Ger-
many to Turkey, and though we can look at the progress of
things only as it were in motion, yet it is impossible not to
have serious considerations awakened by the observation of
what is passing. The visits of so many strangers to the
Lower Danube, and the occasional return of some, create
an active communication which greatly forwards European
civilization in the east. Semlin and Pancsova, on the mili-
tary frontiers, and the Servian town of Belgrade, are flou-
rishing, whereas the neighbouring towns have fallen into a
state of decay. The poverty of the Turks in those quarters
is so great, that they are induced to emigrate to other Turkish
provinces. Wretchedness appears everywhere. The Turkish
fortresses are in entire decay ; no hand is employed to repair
them, and they will soon be in ruins. On the other hand,
the Servians act with vigour. They have a good military
force, clothed entirely in the German fashion. The men are
youthful and well disciplined. The towns are well built, and
rapidly increasing in population.

TIIE WHITE QUAKERS AGAIN !—On Sunday last there
was another " field day " of those people called "White
Quakers," in Cathedral-square, headed by their high-priest,
Joshua Jacob, and. his fair friend Abigail Beale leaning on his
arm. They were followed by eleven others (nine women and
two men), all dressed in similar costume, if we except two of
the females, whose shoes appeared to have come under the
operation of the polishing brush, while those of all the rest
retained the primitive colour the leather had before the cord-

in his hands, as also did two or three of the females, which
they distributed to all who asked for them. They observed
in their demeanour all that mildness and placidity charac-
teristic of the respectable body from which they have, in some
degree at least, seceded. Their situation, while standing in
square, notwithstanding their quiet manner, was rendered
more unpleasant by some dozen urchins who considered it
great fun to annoy them with jibes and impertinent remarks,
added to which the rain for some time poured down copiously ;
but they still kept their position, perfectly heedless of the

REWARDS OF INDUSTRY.—The two richest merchants in
the United States, daring the last ten or fifteen years, have

harder to make his first thousand than his last hundred thit was
sand—so difficult is it to begin ;so easy, once fairly started

to push onward. The Rothschilds of Europe, whosep
,
perty is estimated at about thirty millions of dollars, are the
sons of a poor teacher, who, being exceedingly indigent
sought this profession for a living. Realising a little from'
his labours, he abandoned the pursuit, and began to trade in
ancient coins, which proving lucrative, he was able to advance
by degrees, till he established a banking house at Frankfort.
At his death in 1812, his five sons continued the banking
business, and on the corner-stone of their father's industry,
built up their more than princely fortunes. All these in-
stances—and others could be multiplied were they necessary
—go to prove the old Greek proverb, that " toil is the father
of glory." Those setting out in mercantile life cannot too
much school themselves in diligence, perseverance, probity,
and a proper economy ; for these, with moderate business
talent and moderate capital, will seldom fail of making them
successful and affluent. It was nothing more than this which
lay at the foundation of the immense fortunes of the Roths•
Childs, Girard, and Aston—Savanna Georgian.
