OOO. Sir John Savage, formerly Mayor of Belfast, after baying wounded his neck in a shocking manner, died yesterday morning. The suicide is said to have been without motive and is therefore attributed to a fit of insanity. At Asliton-under-Lyne, on Thursday night, one of four children of an overlooker named Bottointey was found quite dead, suspended from the iron framework of a badstead, in which she must have become entangled whilst playing. The other children were found sleeping quietly. It having been determined to revive the Lady Liodiva procession this year through the streets of the city of Coventry, steps are being taken for carrying out the project. The mayor has agreed to grant the use of the ancient armour in St. Mary's Hall, and it is intended that the pageant shall surpass in magnificence those of former times. A private meeting a Limeri o.k Corporation, held on Thursday, for the purpose of drafting an address to the Lord Lieutenant on his forthcoming visit, was of a most stormy character. Nationalists proposed paragraphs relating to Home Rule, Clifford Lloyd, etc., and great uproar ensued, which could be heard in the streets. The Accrington police report the terrible death of a child. During the night-time the wife of a lab mrer named Nuttall administered some vitriol instead of limswater to her child aged under two years. Ihe child screamed and appeared to be suffering great pain, and on the father tasting the contents of the bottle he found out the mistake. The child, whose mouth was badly burnt, died a few hours afterwards. Yesterday morning a furniture broker named Taylor, of King-street, Oldham, was horrified on entering his shop to discover the lifeless body of Richard Hoyle, who had been occasionally employed by him. The deceased was formerly employed at the Oldham Infirmary, but latterly haying irregular employment, became addicted to intemperance, and generally neglected himself. Yesterday morning a fire broke out at the residence of the Right Hon. Lord Ribblesdale, of Gisburn. The fire originated in the lady's-maid's room, through the overheating of a flue. A telegram was despatched to Clitheroe for assistance, and the steam fire enaine came, bat the fire was got under before it arrived, and before much damage was done. 'I he damage is covered by insurance. The last of the Irish families have left Turton, near Damen, as requested by the English section of the inhabitants. There was ne demonstration made, though large crowds assembled, the Irish taking their expulsion quietly. Some thirty families have been ejected. At one house twenty-eight persona were trained out, but these included lodgers. There is not a single Irishman or woman now in the town.
