DEATH BY LocKJAw. Mrs. Davis, a respecta-
bic widow lady, died on Monday last, about one
o'clock, at her residence Sixth street, betweeiS
Marshall and Clay streets, from the effects on
lockjaw, produced by wound in the calf of her
leg, occasoned by a splinter accidentally entering
it some weeks ago. BY the application of the or
binary remedies the wound soon healed after the
accident, but subsequently became painful and
swollen. About week ago she sent for physi-
clan, who lanced her leg; and afterwards
symptoms of lockjaw appeared, when a second
physician was called in. No medical aid, how
ever, could avail. The lockjaw became confirm
ed, and her sufferngs for several days were of the
most distressing nature, and continued until Mon
day, when death ensued. By this melancholy
event FIVE children are left motherless, who had
already been deprived by death of father.

HORRIBLE DEATH.-On Wednesday afternoon
last, about o'clock, a colored man named Gil
bert Branch, the property of Captain Mark F.
Flournoy, of Chesterfield county, met with hor-
rble death at the circular saw-mill of Messrs.
Blunt & Fuqua, at the southern end of Mayo s
Bridge, Manchester. The negro was an assistant
at the mill, and while in the act of crossing log
the teeth of large circular caught his clothes
and drew him against it, Before he was released
he was nearly sawed in two lengthwse. OF course
his horrible wound caused his death almost in
stantly. His age was about fifty.

The following is Mr.. Crampton's Is reply to the
foregoing
Mr.. Crampson to the Earl Of Clarendon.
s [ExrRAcr.]
WAsHMcToN, April Is, 1853.
In obedience to the instruction contained in
Lord John RUSSELL 3 despatch, of the 2lst Feb
ruary have read to the Secretary of State of the
United States, and placed in his hands copy of
his lordshp despatch, of the 10th of that month,
upon the subject of Cuba.
My French colleague having also received in
structions from his government to communicate
to the Government of the United States de-
spatch upon the same subject, and very much to
the same effect, it was agreed between US that we
should, as upon former occasions in regard to this
matter, make our communications simultaneously;
and we accordingly waited upon Mr.. Marcy to-
gether, for that purpose, on the 10th instant.
Mr.. Marcy, after having listened attentively to
what M. de Sartiges and myself read to him, said
that he would submit the observations of the two
governments to the President; and remarked that
several weeks might probably elapse before any
reply would be addressed to US, even should the
President be Of opinion, which Mr.. Marcy seemed
to think doubtful, that any further discussion Of
the matter between the two governments was de-
srable. ~
1t would, he added, of course be necessary for
him again to read over the dispatches, in order
to comprehend their full import; but, as far as he
could now Judge, the opinion Of the two govern
ments seemed to coincide in reference to two
points, viz: the one, that the right of the United
States to decline the proposals made to them by
the English and French governments was admit
ted; the other, that some of the general positions
taken by Mr.. Everett in his note of the LIST of
December, 1882 appeared to those governments
to render protest against them on their part ne
cessary lest it might hereafter bGinferred that
those positions had been acqhiesced in by them.
We replied that, without pretending to point
out to Mr. Marcy what further step he was or was
not to take in this matter, 3nObject which our
respective governments had in view seemed to us
to be, generally, such he had stated it, and that
we, for our part, considered the discussion of the
subject closed by the communication which we
had Just made. eb
Mr.. Marcy appeared to receive our observations
in a concliatory MANNER and concluded by ex-
pressing his hope and belief that no misunder
standing would arise between the great maritime
powers in regard to this matter.

SAD MIsTxRE.-A mistake occurred yesterday
forenoon in the family of Mr.. Charles Fouchet, an
industrious mechanic, who lives near Bremen,
which it is feared will terminate fatally to two of
its members. The youngest daughters, Mary and
Lizette, had been ndsposed for a week past, and
their mother wishing to administer them some medi-
cine prescribed by the physician, by mistake took
vial of laudanum and dosed each with about half
an ounce of its contents. Medical aid was called
so soon as the error was discovered, but at the
afternoon Lzette ns believed to be in a dying
condition, while Al Efforts to restore Mary had
proved abortive The children are twin sisters,
and are said to be beautiful and interesting girls.
Mr.. Fauchet lost son in New Orleans recently
at the first outbreak of the yellow fever; which
bereavement had determined him to remove to St.
Louis for his future permanent home.
