CARDEN.  —• •- • Dc /MIN, TFIMISIDAr Moß7,o.—The Lord-Lieutenant having received an official communication of the conviction of Mr. John Carden for • misdemeanor, will forthwith have his name removed from the list of the deputy lieutenants for the county of Tipperary. The Lord Chancellor will likewise lieu, • superperkas depriving the unfortanate man of the commission of the peace. We have been informed by a party who visited the jail of Clonmel yesterday that he saw Mr. Carden *monist a hod, of convicts, attired like them—without any difference whatever in his dress to indicate his former position in society; that he patiently enbmitted to the orders given him, hat looked very ill and feeble as compared with hi. general appearance before the outrage for which he in eilfTerinw Imprisonment. The labour he is at present engaged In is of • light, but irksome description.  RMIARILABLE RUMAT Aom lINT.—On Wednesday forenoon last, a female named Elizabeth Little, in the prime of life, residing at Beattock Village, had occasion to take some milk to the other side of the Caledonian Railway, and proceeded for that purpose to cross the line. While stepping over the east line of rails, she observed a train coming up from the south along the west line of rails, and stood still until it should pass; meanwhile, unnoticed by her, a train was coming down from the north, on the line she stood upon, which struck her, and threw her on 10th. other line. Strange to say, she was not injured by this, but stunned by the collision, sash. had not time to get off the rails before the south train, which she had been watching came up. Her feet were caught by the wheels and dreadfully crushed and mangled, especially the toes. It had been found necessary by the medical men in attendance to amputate both her feet, one in the middle, the other at the ancle Joint, and the unfortunate woman continues in a somewhat critical state.  George Risly, who was tried on the charge of murder at the Chelmsford assizes in March, 1835, and acquitted on the ground of insanity, but ordered to be 'kept in strict custody until his Majesty's pleasure be known,' was acquitted on Thursday, after having been in prison twenty.years. Ills case and good conduct in prison having been represented to the Saeretary of State, the authorities were induced to recommend his release. It IN • R•ILWAT C•1111101,-A farmer belonging to • parish immediatey to the north of Mon. trot*, while in pursuit ot business a few days ago in England, was robbed of nearly £lOO in • railway carriage, after having been brought under the in. I liuence of chloroform. After this, few will blame I the traveller who has announced his intention to have always in his possession • loaded revolver while journeying by rail ; and all will see the propriety of having provided a means of communication betwixt the passenger and the guard. had this existed in the ease to which we hays, referred, daring as such modern highwaymen are, the robbery, in all human probability, could not have been effected.—Brechin klvertiser.  Panting,. or rise Tuners.— An officer writes from Shumla, on the 11th July, as follows :—' The army will soon be advancing, as we have been very our. eessful in procuring transports of AR kinds This district alone has furnished us with some 1,300 native horses, small, but strong and hardy, at about £5 each Now we have to purchase about 200 buffaloes to Complete. The day before yesterday the Turks crossed the Lanube in front of this ; and after • hard tight of some hours drove Use Russians out of the plain, blew up their magazine, and captured three guns. Of 8 F.nglivh officers present at this engagement 3 were unfortunately killtd. They say the Russians lost upwards of 1,200, and the Turks 000. Fifty sappers and forty sailors rode through this yesterday from Varna, on their way to the Danube, to assist the Turks in constructing • bridge of boats across, unknown to the Russians if possible, but their spies are everywhere.'
