TURRATENINO LETTER.

Lord Cloecurry's ploughman has (as the following
entice lodged at the Head Office on Thursday will ma-
nifest) received two threatening letters from some evil
minded person. IVe little expected that any person
could he found hate or ungrateful enough to molest
any one in his Lordship's employment, when it is re-
collected that that Nobleman is unremitting in the
practice of benevolence, and in ameliorating the con-
tlitioo of every poor and indigent individual in his vi
daily.
His Lordship's printed document, which contains
an offer of 501. reward for the discovery of the letter-
writer alluded to, concludes thus, after observing that
Smith, as a meritorious granger, shall be p►otected—
he has been for some years in' the service of Lord
Cloncarry :—" I (says his hordsh'p) invite Smith to
remain ; if the slightest injury be done to him, I will
not spend 61. iu labour or charity, whilst I live, at
Lyons.
" It is well kauwu that hundreds live by me, aad

ticle. At a meeting on Saturday they fixed it at
11 17s. 6d. per hbd. to the retailers, which will en-
able them to sell it at 31. a quart, with the same prJlit
as hitherto. It was sold, however, yesterday in one
instance in the neighbourhood of Ship street, at :1;0/.

Ton BUTTCR TR•DC OP WATERPORD.--The 'tag-
nation in the Butter Market, arising from the contest
respecting Beamage, still continues, to the great and
obvious inconvenience of the farmers who usually
bring their produce to this market, who are this left
no alternative but to hold over their Butter, at the
risk of having its quality deteriorated,. and of iecur-
ring a consequent loss in the price—or to resort to
other and more distant places, where no interruption
has °mitred in the usual course of trade. The citi-
zens of Waterford naturally feel it as a hardship, that
this city should be selected as the sole theatre of the
attempt to introduce a novel practice—and the uissa-
defection arising from this circumstance bee been nut
a little aggravated by a report, that a gentleman, who
has been principally instrumental in causing the sus-
pension of the trade here, has since sent a large lot
of his own butter into a neighbouring town, and suf-
fered the usual bearinge to be deducted !—(lruterf.4 d
Chronicle. Sept. 14.)
A dreadful accident occurred on Thursday last, through
the breaking of the fore axle-tree of one of the Graves-
end coaches, just at the end of the Brent, near Dartford
The coachman and passengers were thrown off, and au
elderly gentleman, named Bryan, residing at Swans-
comb, had the desh literally turn from his right thigh
and leg. He was conveyed to the house of Mr. Hurst,
a surgeon, at Dartford, whey it was found necessary to
amputate the limb above the knee, and we are happy to
say be is doing as well as can be expected. To add to
the is-ilictien of Mr. 8., his wife, who bad been some
time ill, has died since the accident that happened to
her husband, but she bad not the pain of learning that
distressing occurrence. It is singnlar, that a gentle.
man who was on the coach when it broke down, went to
London by another, and the axle-tese of that also brisk-,
just as the coach was entering the inn yard, but fortu-
nately without doing any injury to the passengers.
