We believe that very many OF our citi.
zens have been under an impression that
where goods were sold by order of court
or under the authority OF an administrator
that the auctioneer's bond would cover
any default on the part of the auctioneer
to pay over the proceeds of such sales TO
the person by whom be was employed.
A cause was tried yesterday in Baltimore
County Court, The result OF which proves
this impression to be founded in error
For The information of our readers we have
obtained report of the case, which is as

DREADFUL ACCIDEN +.

On Wednesday morning, 18th October,
between nine and ten O'Clock, part Of the
floor OF the fifth story of Mr. Coughs fac
tory, in Manchester, suddenly gave way,
and, with tremendous crash, carried e.
very thing with ii until it reached the
ground floor, by which accident, upwards
OF twenty persons. chiefly young women,
employed as reelers, were killed, and Sc
versl shockingly manned and bruised 1t
woulc appear, from the nature of the acct
dent, that the walls were not sufficiently
strong to support the immense weight of
iron and tiling; Tor by The vibration of
the machinery employed in the factory, a
part OF the upper wall of the building was
buIged out, by which means the iron that
supported one of the arches of the fifth
floor gave way, which caused that arch TO
tall upon the floor under it, which, in its
turn, sunk under the weight, and thus
proceeded through the different floors, de.
stroying every thing IN its frightful pro-
machinery and persons, employed
in its destructive rage.

way into almost every county ~ Europe

active and celebrated OF these tribunals
was the Spanish Inquisition, which by
an uDaccountahle perversion OF language
has been termed the Holy oHic'. |, Was
FIRST introduced in, Spain about the year
1881, and was sufficiently active and M
tolerant in that country until l4Sl' when
Ferdinand V. and Pope Sexsus ~. es-
tablished what is called The modern In
QUESTION, under the direction OF lnqnlsl-
tors General, with a host OF subordinate
officers. The history of this detestable
court has been written by various au-

the inunisition, of which he had been Sc
