BIOAIIT.—A man named John Lerma, otheruise
(Beeson, was charged with bigamy, at the Head Police
Mete, on Saturday, under the following circumstances:
—lt was alleged, that on Sunday, the 2d day of last
June, he had been married by the Rev. John Holmes,
Roman Catholic Priest, of St. Michael and St.'John's
Chapel, at the house, No. 4, Coal-clew, to Anne Trees,
in presence of James Teevan and Catherine Teevans her
parents, and of Wm. Power, of No. 26, Fishamble-street,
both parties professing the Boman Catholic religion •,
and Leeson being in the habit of attending places of
worship, and conforming to the rites of, the Catholic
religion; in ahont ten or twelve days after the marriage,
Leeson absented himself, and staid away for a fortnight,
without saying where be was going. During Ids absence,
they had heard that Imbed beenpreviouslymarried,and that
his wife was still alive; on being quesii.med nu the
*abject, when he returned, he made an affidavit on the
25th ef June, before John C. Weaves, Esq. that he bad
never been married, until he was united to Anne Teevan,
and In consequence of this affidavit she continued to co-
hakii with hint. In the month of Sept. following, a wo-
man with a child in her arms, called at the house. saying
that she was his wife, and in a few days afterwards hr
went away. On the 49th of October following a letter
was received from the Km John Meagher, palish priest
of Tuomerara, it the county of Tipperary, by the Rev.
Hr. Holmes, of St. Michael and St. John's Chapel, slat-
ing that he (Mr. Meagher) had married Leeson, alias
Matson, under the name of °lreton. in the year Idyl, to
a girl named Mary Brien. The above facts having Len
sworn to, Leeson has been committed for further ex ami-
ss:los, Led until such time as proofs of the first marriage
can be adduced.—(Dahlia Horning Post.)
SOOCKING MCIDER !—Oe Sunday evening, between
eight and mine o'clock, Mr. James Ifeynolds, of the Fin-
gal Arms Tavern, Summer-hill, was mortally wounded
on the Glasnevin Rated. Ile had been attending a
funeral at St. Margaret's, and was on his return to
town, accompanied by a friend.—Just as they reached
Delirium, three men, one of whom had the appearance
of a sailor, started front behind a hedge, cried'. stop,"
and at the same moment fired. Mr. Reynolds and horse
were both struck, but conceiving it to be his best plan
to push forward before the villains could load a second
time, he applied his spurs, and the horsy carried him
shunt a quarter of a mile, when it fedi, and threw him
on the ground on his shoulder. lie then perceived, fur
the first time, that he bad been wounded, and called oat
to his companion, " I am shut." Atter some time as-
sistance was procured, and he was carried into town.
On examining his wounds, it was deemed prudent to
remove him directly to Jervis-street hospital. where, we
lament to say, be expired at one o'clock on Monday,—
. Three slugs had entered ~is body, one passing in just at
the naval, and the other taking an oblique direction im.
above it. The accessed was a mast satiable

I was en the point of being married. His companion
escaped unburt.—(Dnliis Morning Post.)

On the 17th of October, the superb Church of St. Pe-
ter, at Venice, was struck by lightning. In one moment
the cupola was in flames, and fell in with a drearlfo'
crash. The whole edifice was reduced to a heap i
ruins ! This church, nest to the celebrated one of St.
Mark, was the finest at Venice. It is remarkable that
this took place about the time that the Rouen Cathedral
ass destroyed by a similar cense.
Ua Thursday night, between six and seven o'clock,
while a smack was riinniug down the Clyde before a
stiff b , she ran foul of a steam-boat, and
stove in her starboard bow with a heavy crash,
a short way before the paddle box, and a plank
near toe keel being started by the shock, the water
rushed in with rapidity. Besides a number of men,
here were also some women and children passengers, and
a. might naturally be expected, for a moment all was
alarm and confusion : but owing to the activity and self.
p t ion of the Captain they were soon convinced t►at
they were in no personal danger, and the steam-boat was
itumedicely run on the bank ne.tr Kiipatriok. Some of the
gentlemen went ashore, and travelled to Glasgow ; others
welted, and wertsput aboard another steam-boat, and all
left the tenser without receiving the slightest Injury.

ACCIDINT FROM Filla.—On Friday the 18th instant
a melancholy accident happened at E • •kbelm, parts!.
of St. Mango. An interestine child, aged six years,
and daughter of William Hodrick. haring unwarily gone
too near the fire, her clothes ignited, and imniediatel,
blazed about her body from head to foot. At this tims.
there was no one near the child hut an aged grandmo-
ther, and she, poor woman! both from frailty and agh
tatiun, was unable to render that assistance which bt
situation demanded.—Sering Ibis, the unhappy gir
rus!.ed into a neighbour's house, but here again, surprise
and agitation prevented the parties from biking the pro-
per mode of extinguishing the Baines. The child, in
short, was not relieved until her garments were literally
burnt off her back, and although Dr. Storey was called,
and speedily hastened to the spot, she only survived a
few hours ! The grandmother too, feeble as bar ester.
tions were, was also severely burnt, and now lies very it
in consequence.

o'clock on Wednesday night. as Mr. William Car; Lev
