Fi FATAL ACCIDENT NEAR ST . VINCENT'S ROCKS , CLIFTON . ( On Saturday evening , the coroner for Bristol , J . B . Grindoi don , Esq ., held an inquest in tbe boatd-toom of tbe Bristol Ro Royal Infirmary , on the body of Mr . Alfred John Clift , who me met his death through a fall from the cliff * on the banks of tht the river Avon . The first , and indeed the only material wi witness , was an intelligent boy of between ei < ht and nine ye years old , who was a brother of the deceased , and witnessed hi his melancholy end . The little fellow , who gave his testim tnony with much clearness , deposed that on the evening of tb the accident tbey were walking under the Leigh Woods , on tl tbe sid e o f t he A v on , and were going in a direction towards P Pill . When near the Roundpoinf , the deceased began to as ascend the rock for the purpose of exploring a part of it , at and witness followed , lint did not clamber so high as his
b brother . All of a sudden his brother ' s footing ; slipped , and w witness saw him tumbling down the rock . He did not fall t ( to the bottom , as his progress was arrested by a shelving p projection , npon which he remained . He did not speak or i move , and witness was greatly terrified , but be succeeded in g getting up to his brother , and sliding him gently down the i remainder of the rock and laid him on the ground . Re 1 then ran to some tea gardens close by and beggad for assist tance , and some workmen and gentlemen came and carried 1 him to a cottage , where brandy was administered to him , T out he remained insensible . A cart was then procured , and i a quantity of grass spread over the bottom of it , and in this 1 he was hauled to the Rownham Inn , where a carriage was i obtained , in which they drove him to the Infirmary , where 5 it was ascertained that he had received a fracture of the 1 skull , from the effects of which he shortly expired . The ; jury returned a verdict of " Accidental Death . "
PRIGHTFUL BOILER EXPLOSION AND LOSS OF
LIFE . On Monday afternoon about a quarter past one o ' c l ock , a terrific explosion took place on the premises of Mr . Mark John Tomkins , the proprietor of the Green Bank Saw Mills , Old Gravel-lane , Warping . The works were of a very extensive description , and no fewer than thirty-five men were emp l oyed in various parts af the saw mills , which "were situated on the north side of Green Bank , a very narrow lane , surrounded with densely populated small houses , ¦ principally inhabited by the poorer class of Irish persons . At the time abovenamed the chief portion of tbe workm ? n were absent at dinner , and the escape of those on the premises is most wonderful . Several of the mechanics were in tbe planing room , the smith's shop , and sawing room ,
while two were sitting in the boiler house , taking their dinner , when they were alarmed hy bearing a rumbling noise similar to thunder , and before they could rush to the yard the boiler and the shed were blown to pieces , the bricks , stones , tiles , and ironwork were carried an immense height into the air , and fell in various places to the distance of a quarter of a mile . No time was lost in clearing the rnins and sending for the aid of the police . Mr . Inspector Sullivan and Sergeant Lewi ? , of the K division , immediately despatched a body cf constables from the station at Shadwell to the scene of the catastronhe , where in a few
minutes tbey discovered Charles VarralJ , ag ? d sixty-two , a bricklayer , who happened to be at work on the roof of the building . He was quite insensible , and was promptly examined by a surgeon , but the unfortunate man was so much injured t iat it was deemed necessary to convey him on a stretcher to the accident ward of the London Hospital . The pn-ir fellow had received a dislocation of the right shoulder joint , fractured ribs , various braises and contusions over the body , which was shockingly scalded in several parts . He was placed in bed and every assistance afforded him , hut he exoired in two hours after his admission . No one
else was missing , as far as could be learned from strict inquiries which had been made . The violence of the explosion may be imagined , when a large piece of lead weighing thirty-two pounds , which formed a portion of tbe safetyvalve , was blown tbrongb the roof across several streets , to a distance of 300 feet , falling by tbe side of tbe private residence of Mr . Wesley , the dust contractor , Old Gravellane , where it passed tbrongb the stone pavement into tbe earth . A piece of timber eight feet long fell on the roof of the house in tbe occupancy of Mr . Bozier , Bootmaker , and caused great injury to the upper part of tbe building . The premises of Messrs . Knigbt and Son , Soap Manufacturers ,
Prince's-street , at the rear of the saw mills , were also seriously shattered . A great number of private dwellings in Anchor and Hope-alley , Raymond ' s-place , Calvert-street , Red Lion-street , and other place ? , were more or less injured by the falling bricks , pantiles , & c . Portions of the boiler have been found in various parts , and other pieces have not yet been recovered . A female , Margaret Donovan , was injured on the head by a brick striking her while sluing in the garden at tbe back of her residence in Anchor and Hope-alley , but she is giing on favourably . Several children likewise received slight injuries . Mr . Tomkins is insured , and the damage is estimated at about £ 4 , 000 . The cause of the sad disaster is attributable to some defect iu

SERIOUS COLLISION ON THE CLYDE . On Friday morning , at ba ' . f-past nine o ' clock , a serions collision occurred on the Clyde , a little below Govan , between fhe Princess Alice , on her passage / ram Londonderry , and the Glasgow Citizen river steamer . The Citizen is very much damages * , and we regret to add that a mother and child have been drowned , and several people injured . The you-ig woman who , whh her infant , has perished by this catastrophe , was the wife of the pilot of the Dunoon Castle steamer . The case is under investigation . —Scofs ~ mast .
MELANCHOLY AND FATAL ACCIDENT . An accident resulting iu tbe death of a labourer , sixty years of aje , and serious injury to four other persons has just occurred in North Penrallr , Carnarvon . An aged wom a n , one of many who occupy a lodging bouse in tbe above locality , accidentally set her bed on fire during the night nf Friday . Her screams brought a man inhabiting an adjoining room to hsr assistance , and he succeeded in placing her in safety . Meanwbile , another inmate cf the house , losing her presence of mind , rushed through the fire and threw the burning bedclothes and straw down the stairs . The deceased , who slept below , or . coming out of his rr > ora , was met bv the flames , which burned with redoubled
fierceness , and he was so severely scorched about the neck and ' face that he survived hut a few hours . Two of tbe lodgers leaped from an upper window into tbe street , and were but slightly injured by tbe fall . A man end child wer considerably burnt ; and the female who spread the fire , together with tbe man who rescued the old woman , are so serionsly injured that great doubls are entertained of their recovery .
FEARFUL ACCIDENT AT ISLAY . A most fearful accident happened last Friday , about ten o ' clock a . m ., at the village of Portwemyss in this island , caused by the explosion of a keg of gunpowder . The particulars of the case areas follows , viz .: —Twa men named Alexander Bieu and Duncan Turner were quarrying stones for tbe Free Church school-house ; they found it requisite to blast part of the rock * , Turner accordingly went home to Bine ' s house , where the powder was kept under charge of the latter , he being a stead y , sober man . After filling a bottle out of tbe keg , Turner very imprudently set fire to a little of the powder that fell on the fl . or , for fear that any children should go near it with firs . He did not remove ihe W of nowder a sufficient distance before he did this ,
and there was more powder on the ground than he calculated upon , and the result was it communicated with the keg containing sis-een pounds of powder , and , as might be expected , it carried the roof of the house , which was of o e story , fairly off from end to end . Turner was dreadfully scorch , d and dtsfUured about the face—his whiskers and every particle of hair was burnt off . Kate Biue and Ann Gillies were also much burnt , as also was a cow that bad been tied in the house . Fortunately there were no other persons in the house at the time . The three sufferers are still in a very precarious way ; but tbe wonder is that they bad not been blown to atoms altogether . Such would have been the case , had not the strene'h of the powder gone ^ gbt upwards . — Glasgow Saiurdiy Post .
FAVAL ACCIDENT . On Tuesday evening , a young boy , supposed to be the son ° ione of the deck hand , of the steamer Princess Royal , was aiu-ing himself on a plank on tbe breast of the . north quay , opposite Macalpine Street , and missing his footing , was pre eipiiated inm the river , and drowned . The body of the Seceasfd was discovered about two hours after the melancaol * occurrence . —Glasgow Sentinel . DREADFUL ACCIDENT . An accident of a most serious nature occurred on Sunday Worn :, g last between the Pcole station en the Leeds and
Tbirsk Railway and Lkby . It appears that two of the railway company ' s omnibuses , conveying between seventy ^ d eighty passengers , were racing on the road , when one ° f the wheels of the first vsbiels came off , and the coach be * bind , which was close up , galloped « ver the passengers of * ls broken-down competitor as ihey lay on the road . The P ° or passengers were most awfully cut up . They were ^ iog out for help on all sides . Some had their legs woken , others their thighs , s « rae their arms , and one poor * ° oaii from Bramley , nsar Leeds ( named Sarah Firth ) , had ier iett arm broken * her left thigh , and the flesh of the left

leg was parted from the bane . Medical aid was as promptly as possible procured ; and we are g lad to hear that the sufferers are doing as well as could be espected . The accident was the result of gross carelessness and reckless driving .
TWO MEN SCALDED AT WYLAM . On Tuesday last an inquestwas held atth ' eWesigate policestation , Newcastle-upon-Tyne , before the coroner , Mr . J . G . Stoker , upon tbe body oi Barney M'Gmgbam , who came to his death under the following frightful circumstances . A few days ago tbe deceased and a man of tbe name of John . 'Williams , who were travelling together through tbe country in search of work , called at Messrs . Bell ' s iron w o r ks , at Wylam , about eleven o'clock in the evening , and asked Robert Johnson , the engineman , if be woul d give them shelter for tbe nwht . The engineman consented , upon condition that they would wheel away a quantity of ashes for him in the morning , and af > . r giving them their supper he placed them in a shed upon the floor , in front of a fife-place , over which was a large cylindrical
boiler , which drives tbe principal engine in the works . The two men then lay down with their feet towards tbe fire , and dropped off to sleep . About four o ' clock in the morning Johnson went to a furnaceman , and after telling him that he had two tramps in the shed , said " Come over and I will give the b—s a scare" ( a scare or fright ) . Almost immediatel y a ft erwar d s , and whilst the furnaceman was outside the door of the shed , Johnson , it is supposed , drew the plug from the boiler , for the water and steam rushed with great force from it over the two men , who jumped up as speedily as poss ib le , but on acennnt of the shed being filled with steam , they found considerable difficulty in getting out . The screams of tbe poor fellows were heard by the furnaceman
who rendered tbem assistance as speedily as possible . Johnson came up immediately afterwards , and , finding wbai state the men were in , said , " It is a bad job ; I had th <» plug of the boiler too far out , and could not get it in again . " Both the men who were very severely scalded over nearly the whole of their bodies , were conveyed to the Newcastle I nfi rmary , where M'Guighara has since died from the injuries he received . Evidence to the above eflv . ct having been given , the coroner ajourned the inquest until the following day . Johnson was apprehended hy order of the magistrates on the charge of manslaughter , but was admitted to hail until the result of tbe coroner ' s inquest is known . He was present during tbe inquiry , and expressed a wish to . make a statement before the inquest is concluded .
FATAL ACCIDENT OX THE LONDON AND NORTH
WESTERN RAILWAY . An accident , attended with fatal consequences to two passengers and injuries to several others , occurred on Tuesday morning near tbo Hampton Junction station on the London and North Western Riilway . The 0 . 15 a . m . up train left Birmingham at its usual hour on Tuesday morning , and proceeded in duo course about a mile south of the Hampton Junction to a place called Berkswcll cutting , in passing through which the ash-pin and a portion of the fire-box fell from the engine on to the line , and coming in contact with tho frame work of the brake van , separated the latter from the engine and tender , and threw it off the up-line arross the down rails . At the same instant , and before the carriages bad become stationary , tbe 9 . 15 a . m . down-train from Leamington to Birmingham met the
np-train , and first coming in contact with the brake van on the down rails ,, next struck the leading second-class carriage and drove it on to the embankment , detaching it from the other carriages and creating a terrible wreck . Two of the passengers in the second-class carriage were killed on the spot , and a third was very seriously injured . Several others were more or less shaken and hurt . The driver of the up-train finding his engine and tender detached from the brake van , and observing tha collision which immediately followed , came on to Coventry—a distance of four miles , as quickly as possible to obtain assistance . From Coventry telegraphic intelligence of the accident was transmitted to Birmingham , and in a very short time afterwards a large number of labourers arrived from both these places , and commenced clearing tho line . The second-class
carriage , struck by tho engine of the down train , was found to be driven up the embankment several feet , and within its broken timbers were discovered the bodies of two unfortunate passengers quite dead , and one other seriously hint . Tbe remaining passengers had escaped from the wreck , and were sitting on various parts of the line . The names of the parties killed are Mr . Beddington , an optician , of Birmingham , and a youth named Floyd , said to-be on his way to college at Oxford . The best assistance that could be afforded was rendered by Mr . Robinson , the station master of Birmingham , by whose directions tho parties most injured were placed on carnages and conveyed to Coventry .
The worst caso was sent direct to the infirmary at the latter place . The engine of the down-train was not much injured by the collision . Though off the rails , and deeply embedded in the permanent -way , it remained in an erect position , and the rails were so little disturbed that it was soon replaced upon the line . The debris having been cleared away , the traffic was not materially interrupted , and several of the passengers came on to London shortly after the accident . Capt . Bruyeres , superintendent of the southern division of the London and North Western Railway , left town immediately on receipt of the intelligence of the accident , to render all the assistance in his power to the injured parties .
Fires. Serious Fire Yn Lambeth. On Sunda...
FIRES . SERIOUS FIRE YN LAMBETH . On Sunday morning , shortly after five o ' clock , a fire of a very alarming character occurred on the premises ol Mr . J Wortley , a hairdresser and perfumer , and Mr . Lawrence , a bookseller and general dealer , No . 75 , New-cut . The discovery was made by Mr . Worsley , -who was awakened by an unusual noise in the shop . He immediately jump .-d out of bed for the purpose of ascertaining ( he cause , but the moment he opened his room door he was met by volumes of smoke which nearly prostrated him . He succeeded , however , in mounting the stairs and arousiag the other inmates , consisting of six or seven persons , ' amongst whom was an old lady between eighty and ninety years of age , named Nicholts , who had been bedridden for a considerable period . The whole of the residents except Mrs . Nicholls , at once
made an attempt to descend by the staircase , but the smoke obliged them to return , and having got out of one of the uppsr windows , they alighted upon a pent-house over tha shops , where they doubtlessly would have lost their lives , had it not been for the timely arrival ef Mr . Hambleton , with tbe engine and firemen from the Waterloo-road brigade depot , by whose scaling ladders they were enabled to descend . In the meantime , Police-constable Ireland , No 118 of the L division , who was on duty near the spot , bad climbed up one of the poles in front of the house , aud entered several of tbe rooms , for the purpose of rescuing Mrs . Nicholls . ' During the brief interval , however , Airs . Worsley bad entered her apartment , and having pulled her out of bed , a Mrs . Jackson , who resided in the premises , carried her out on her back . The constable , however , went from room to room , in search of the poor old ladv , until
hecoming almost overpowered with smoke , he was obliged to jump out of window , to avoid suffocation . Unfortunately , he fell through a glass skylight , by which he was frightfully cut by the broken glass , and otherwise seriously , if not fatally , injured . A large piece of glass entered one of his lips and lodged in the roof of the mouth . His knee-cap is also broken , his shoulder dislocated , and nearlj every part of bis face is cut with broken glass . He was at once removed to Gay ' s Hospital , where be at present remains in a very precarious state . There being an abundant supply of water , the fire was at last extinguished , but not until Mr . Worsley ' s lower premwea bad been nearly consumed , and those of Mr . Lawrence extensively damaged . The origin of the disaster is enveloped in obscurity . Mr . Worsley was insured in the County Fire Office , and Mr . Lawrence in the Roval L'verpool Office .
FIRE AND LOSS OF LIFE . A fire , whereby a large quantity of agricultural produce and one human life were sacrificed , occurred on Friday last at Malmesbnry . The daughter of the deceased , Mr . Blackford , a man very generally esteemed by his fellow-citizens , lies at present in a very precarious state , having been seized with hysteric fits when she heard of the sad accident which had befallen tier . It appears that two large ricks of hay and straw , situate near Malmesbury , and belonging to Mr . Hanks , of the post-office , were discovered to be on fire between seven and eight o'clock in the evening of tbe day above named . The alarm having been given , a number of the inhabitants hastened to the spot with a view of endeavouring to extinguishing tbe flames , and among them was tho deceased , who was landlord of the Etna ' s Arms Inn . Tbe deceased mounted to the top of the
hayrick , a portion of which ha-i not apparently been reached hy tlie flames , and directed the men in the distribution of the water . He was heard to call out — " That there was no water wanted . " at a spot at which he was thrusting his stick , and then he was seen to turn round , but tbe next moment he fell into the burning mass and disappeared in tbe flames . Mr . Cidby , chemist , at the riskof his own iife , rushed forward ana succeeded in dragging the body from the flames . Mr . Blackford was dreadfully burnt , and though medical assistance was promptly at hand , it was evident be could not survive the injuries he had received . He was removed to his own residence on _ a shutter , where he lingered till the middle of the next day , when death put an end to his sufferings . The ricks b * e-Ioiiffintr to Mr . Hanks were entirely consumed . The fire , it is imagined , originated fron the dampness of the hay when it w *» s put together .
Madeira.—Most Disastrous Accounts Are Re...
Madeira . —Most disastrous accounts are received of the fu : ore prospects of Madeira . It seems not improbable that the celebrated wine of Madeira will be a matter of history . A bl'g ht of some sort has entirely des ^ roye't the vintage for this year , and seems likely to destroy the vines themselves . It appears in the shape of a thick white powder , which entirely covers tbe cluster of grapes . The inhabitants have memoralised the Portuguese government to be permitted to culiivae lotwcco . Prk . \ ch R egulation on Dbdnkesxess . —The Prefect of the Douba has followed the example of the Prefect of the Pas d « Calais , and decided that any retail sellers of wine or spirits giving liquor to persons alreaoy affected by what they had taken , shall be held responsible for the acts of such persons .
Crimes And Offences. Horrible Matricide ...
CRIMES AND OFFENCES . HORRIBLE MATRICIDE NEaR BIRKENHEAD ; On Saturday night , at a late hour , a shocking murder was committed at . Prenton , in tbe Parish of Woodcburcb , about two miles from Birkenhead , on the Cheshire side of the Mersey , under circumstances of an extremely painful nature . In Prenton-lane stand three cottages , which are inhabited by agricultural labourers . In one of them dwelt a widow , named Elizabeth Thomas , aged forty-eight , and-a family consisting of two grown-up sons , William and Joseph , aged respectively about twenty-five and twenty-throe years , and a little boy , Samuel , aged nine years . The unfortunate cause of the tragedy bad for some time been suffering under mental debility , which bad prevented him from fol owing his usual occupation . His conversation at times was strange , and his actions were characterized by considerable peculiarity , but up to Saturday evening he had shown no disposition to commit violence .
It appears that on Saturday nightaboutnine o ' clock , his mother , his little brother , and he were in the cottage awaiting the return of Joseph , who had gone outfor a walk . Turning suddenly to his mother , he asked why she was sitting up . She replied that she was waiting for Joe ; He told her to go to bed , as he meant to stop up until Joe returned . She then went to bed with her young son , who always slept with her . It is supposed that the maniac at once proceeded to the garden at the back of the house and commenced digging a grave of considerable depth , and that , having completed the operation , he proceeded to his mother's chamber armed with a razor . The unfortunate wnman was asleep , and ho immediat ly perpetrated the act which causeo her death . Her struggles awoke tho little boy , who soreamed in fright His brother told htm not to make a noise , and , taking him in his arms , carried the little fellow to his own bed , where , after kissing him twice , he left him , telling him "he would be with him
presently . " He appears then to have returned to his mother , tied her hand ' s together with a handkerchief , wrapped her up in the counterpane , bound a rope round her w .-iist , and then cirried her down stairs , through the kitchen or scullery , over a wicket gate leading to the garden , up some high stone steps , : md to tho grave which he had already prepared . Owing to the precaution of tying the body in the counterpane , no Wood stained the ground on the way to the garden , except one drop on the top step . At eleven o'clock the brother returned . On opening the house door the murderer called from bis mother's room , " Who ' s there ? " He replied , " Me . " William then descended the stairs , and on seeing his brother be said , " Joe , I ' ve killed my mother and buried her in the garden . I ' ve made bor comfortable , and she will he a good deal better off . Don't you go and say anything . " The body of the unfortunate mother was afterwards found buried in the garden .
The prisoner was placed before the magistrates nt Birk . enhead on Monday morning . Hia appearance sufficiently betokened the unhappy state of his mb .-d . Ho seemed quite unconscious of the awful nature of his position , and his countenance was lamentably wanting in expression . On being asked in the usual way whether he w .-is guilty of the charge , he replied rapidly , nnd with great " vehemence , " No , I did not ; not as I can recollect . " Sam ! . Thomas , aged nine years , tbe youngest son of the deceased , was then placed iii the witness box , and , after several questions had been put to him as to the nature of an oath , he was sworn . —He said , my mother was a labouring woman . She wont out washing . She was a widow . William Thomas , the prisoner , is my brother , and lived with us . Another brother named Joseph lived with ns .
On Saturday night . I went tobed about nine o ' clock . My mother went to bed at the same time . We slept together in the top room . There are three rooms up stairs . Soon after I got into bed I went to sleep . When I went to bed William , tbo prisoner , was left in the "house-place " -alone ; and soon after I got into bed I heard some one go out of the house-place into the back garden . After I bad been asleep some time I was awakened by my mother , as it seemed to me , pushing against me . I then saw William standing hy the bed , on the side where my mother lay . He had a razor in his hand , and was going to cut her throat . It w : ts dark at the time . He had his two knees on her holding her down . lie hold the razor in bis right hand , and a lighted candle in the other . He put the candle in tbe window place and grasped my mother ' s throat with one hand ,
and cut her throat with the razor , which he held in the other . My mother wrestled and tried to get away , but did not struggle much . She struggled a little , but was soon quite still . He then camo round the bed to me , and carried me to his bed in the front . When he left me he said , " I will be with you just now . " I was crying very loudly all the time , and he told me to hold my noise . When lie loft me he went back to my mother ' s room , and presently afterwards , hearing his steps on the stairs , I looked and saw my mother ' s head . I could not see the body ; it was being dragged down stairs . I did not bear where William went to after he got down stairs . About ten minutes afterwards he came back to me , and put a clean shirt on . He then went into my mother ' s room . Presently I heard a noise , and on looking up I saw the bedclothes being pulled down
stairs . I could not see who was doing it . I heard William go out of the house by the back way into the garden . I heard nothing more for about half an hour , until my brother Joseph came into the room , followed by William . Ju s t before this I heard William ' s voice down stairs , speaking to Joseph . He said , " Joseph , I ' ve killed my mother . " I then heard Joseph ' s voice crying bitterly . William said , " What ' s the use being that soft , she is better off ?'' Tbey then came upstairs and into tbe room together . The first words said were by William . He said , "If you had been half-an-hour later it would all have been sided" ( cleared away ) . Joseph then took me out of bed and cirried me to the house of the next door neighbour , where I was put to bed . I stayed there all night . My mother and William had not . had any quarrel that day ; but two or thrco days before I heard him * ' sauce" her .
The prisoner was asked if ho wished to ask his brother any questions . He turned quickly round and exclaimed , sharply and loudly , " Eh ? " The question was repealed , and in the same tone he replied , " No , I ' ve nothing to ask him . " Joseph Thomas , brother to prisoner , corroborated the last witness as to what was said by prisoner when he came home , fie afterwards called in some of the neighbours , and on searching the garden found the body of his mother two feet under ground . By the Magistrate . —There had been a difference in his manner about a week before this occurred . He seemed to be getting gradually worse . Whenever I went in lately he ordered me out of the house . The Prisoner ( loudly nnd angrily ) . — " Thou are a liar . " ( Sensation . )
Witness . —He had been out of his mind previously , and a surgeon attended him . He was never violent in bis conduct . There appeared to have been something wrong about his head for nearly a year . 1 heard my mother often allude to the circumstances . He was never violent , but for the last twelve months he seemed to begetting foolish , and during the last week he ' became rather more excited . The witness made a cross to his deposition . George Roydon , a farmer , proved the finding of the body buried in the garden . There was a very large gash in the throat of the deceased . The prisoner remained in the house all the time , and went quietly to tbe Bridewell at Birkenhead when asked to do so . Thomas Hughes , a constable , proved the finding of a bloody shirt , and a pair of trowsers and ii flannel jacket belonging to the prisoner , all covered with blood . .
Isaac Byerly , surgeon , described the nature of the wound , which he said must have caused instantaneous death . I know the prisoner , whom I have attended professionally . Six or seven weeks ago his mother called on me to see him . He complained of headache . He was also suffering from drowsiness , and betrayed other symptoms indicating an excited state of the brain . He was bled , and other appropriate remedies were used , with a view of abating the excitement . He improved , and at tho end of the fortnight he told me he felt quite well and able to go to work . Two or three weeks ago his mother came to me and said ho had not been able to go fo work , and requested me to see him again . I went . down . His headache appeared relieved , arid to me he spoke quite rationally ; hut his mother informed me that he occasiona'ly made absurd remarks , and was odd in his manner . I again ordered blistering and lowering remedies , and his mother informed me that he improved .
By Sir E . Oust . —On Friday morning I had some conversation with his mother about his removal to the lunatic asylum . He answered me quite rationally , and I thought his mental derangement was only temporary . His mother never complained to me of his using any violence , but only of his absurd remarks . This concluded the evidence , and the prisoner was asked in the usual form whether he had anything to say in answer to the charge . After a brief pause he replied , " No , I ' ve not anything to say , " lie was then committed for trial at the assizes , charged with the murder . The inquest was held at Prenton on Monday evening , when a verdict of " Wilful murder against William Thomas , " was returned .
INCENDIARISM AT LOFTHOUSE . On Tuesday last , about midnight , one of the large stacks in the rickyard of Messrs . J . and J . Charlesworth of Lofthouse , a few miles from this town , was discovered to be on fie . Great exertions were made to extinguish the flames , but only some portions of tbe stack were saved , and those in a more or less damaged condition . The stack contained the produce of twe-n'y acres of oats , and was valued at £ 300 . Two men , Jonas Hartley and his nephew , the former of whom had been in the employ of Mr . Charlesworth , and had been convicted of robbing bis master , are in custody . The property is understood to be insured . — Wakefield Journal

Ireland. In Consequence Of The Excited S...
IRELAND . In consequence of the excited stato of the population in and around Six-mile-bridge , owing to tho late sanguinary affair there , orders have been issued for troops to encamp in the neighbourhood , and a field battery in addition to some infantry proceeded to the locality for the ptirpnsp . It has boon agreed at a meeting of the County of Down Tennant Committe in Belfast , to give a public banquet to Mr . Sbarman Crawford . Notices of retaliation by hndlords on their tenants after tho elections , appear in some county papers . The " Tipperary Vindicator" says :-" Vengeance has been declared against , tbe tenantry on certain estates for having dared to do as they thought ' nro per , and as they had a perfect right to do , with the elective franchise . We have accounts from certain quarters of the infamous threats of baffled maltgnants . "
THE POTATO . The accounts , as usual , are conflicting . Tho most unfavourable reports are from the northern and western counties , Louth and Monaghan being among the . worst ,. In the midland counties and in the province of L » inster generally , the complaints are happily few and far between , although in Dublin some alarm has been created by the vast amount of tho supplies poured into tho market ? , and the extremely low rates at which holders seem disposed to part with their stocks , both circumstances leading to the inference that fears are apprehended for the safety of the late crop . The " Leinster Express , one of tho best informed provincial authorities upon agricultural matters , thus refers to tho prevailing panic : — " Tho usual alarm about tho potato disease , which begins annuallv about this season , has already made its appear , ance . From Mavo and other western counties the cry of ' Blight' has been taken up most vigorously , and if vte listo all hear miht also
tened with easy credulity we , we » speak ominously ourselves . But when we know the many circumstances calculated to encourage exaggeration , we are prepared to hear such unhopeful statements with tho greatest caution . We held out to the end against evil prophets last year , and astonished—not to say ottenitcna eveattnnny thereby , yet the sequel proved we were rich * . As far as our actual , visible , and tangible experience would go just now , we are very much inclined to follow the same plan . In many cases , wliero we heard of' great virul-nne , ' Ac ., on examination the great virulence appeared to ennfino itself altogether to the ' tips of tho leaves , while if .-, „ untoward grumbler could find a few dozen diseased tubers to tbo acre , be thought himself singularly fortunate tn having so much to be miserable about . Wo don t mean to say that the disease has vanished , or is about to vanish entirely , but what we really believe is , that it is almost , as certain as any highly approaching event can be , that w shall have a plentiful supply of our much-slandered , b . vlly
dootored , yet incomparable vegetable . It the weather continue as > promising as it has been for the last week , we are sure of having an early and abundant crop of wheat . A lar » e area is laid under barley in consequence of the gond price it brought last year . Oats will give , perhaps , tho average yield . Turnips , mangolds , and other green crops have been extensively cultivated . " KXECUITON OP TWO IHBB 0 NJIEN . Dobmn , August . 2 . —The sentence of death on Patrick M'Cooey and James Kirk , the ribbonmen , convicted at the last Louth assizes for an attempt to murder Mr . Eastwood
on the 24 th of last December , was carried into execution on Saturday , in front of tbe gaol of Dundalk . Both of the convicts , who were Roman Catholic 5 , and were attended regularly bv the chaplains of their church , exhibited marked signs of renentance , and for several days appeared vory diligent nnd ' fervent in their preparations for death . Tho night before their execution they slept soundly ; at an early hour tbey attended at mass and received the saerament ; and neither of them wished to disturb their minds by interviews with their relatives , although permission would have been given if required . A local paper , describing the final scene , says :
" Kirk looked very depressed and careworn , and merely glanced at the crowd * beneath without showing any desire to address them . M'Cooey was mora firm nnd cheerful , and addressed tho crowd in a calm and audible voice . H » said ' 'he was innocent of any of fhe murders laid to bis charge . He neverhoard anything of the murder of Mr . Mauleverer or Mr . Bateson until the deeds were done . Un admitted , or nt- least did not deny that he had taken part in the conspiracy to murder Mr . Eastwood . He was led into crime by associating with bad men , and if be had taken ( he advice of his clergy ho would not be standing there that day . He warned tho people to keep free from all illegal and secret societies ; for the very persons who would lead thorn to join th' se bodies would be the first to betray them and assist in securing their conviction and punishment . The convicts having again joined in prayer , the clergymen retired , and tbo executioner drew tho caps over their faces , when the bolt was drawn , and both tho unfortunate men
were launched into eternity . Kirk died without much struggling ; M'Cooey struggled hard for a few seconds . ind then all was over . Tho space before the drop was kept clear by a number of dragoons and about fifty of tbe county constabulary . About 2 , 000 persons , mostly from the country , witnessed the executions ; their demeanour was very commendable . About half-past twelve tbe bodies were cut down and brought into the gaol yard , where they rema i ned till two o ' clock , and then given to their relations . M'Cooey ' s remains were taken and interred in Castletown grave-yard ; and Kirk's were brought to tbe house of his wife . —It may be stated as a significant circumstance in connexion w ' ith the atrocious Ribbon system , that the reason why no funds were provided or arrangements made for the defence of theso prisoners was , because they robbed Mr . Eastwood as well as attempted to murder him , and , therefore , their associates in the guilty purpose repudiated them , and left them to ' their fate .
THE TENANT RIGHT QUESTION . No section of tbe new Irish members has yet ventured to suggest any system of combined action in parliament except on the tenant-right question , relative to which some steps were taken at a meeting of the Tenant League Council on Monday . It was resolved : — " That it is essential to the dueicondtict and advancement of the tenant cause that a conference of the leading friends of tenant right , in and out of parliament , he held prior to the assembling of tho new parliament , and therefore that the said conference to be held in Dublin , on Wednesday , the 8 th day of Sept ember , and that all the members ol * the Council of the League , tho leading friends of the cause throughout the country , and all tho Irish members who have expressed themselves favourable to the principles of Sharman Crawford ' s bill , be earnestly invited to attend .

Horrible Executions. New Orleans.—Speaki...
HORRIBLE EXECUTIONS . New Orleans . —Speaking of tho execution of Anthony Delisle and Jean Adams for the murder of a slave girl , the "New Orleans' Crescent" of July 3 rd , says : - " Tho gallows was erected in tho open spaco between the Parish Prison and the Police Gaol , fronting the street , and an immense mass of persons of both sexes assembled to witness tho revolting spectacle . At twelve o ' clock the condemned were brought from their cells , and , accompanied by two priests , were led to the place of execution . Adams was very much overcome with fear , and he had to be supported , but Delislo walked alone , with a firm step , and his demeanour betrayed no sign of fear ; Mounted on tho scaffold , the death warrant was read by Deputy Sheriff J . L . Fabre , Delislo frequently interrupting him with the exclamation of " No , sir ! no , sir . " The latter then addressed a few words to tho crowd , saying that he did not deserve to be hung , that he had French blood in his veins , and died for the honour of tho French flag , Adams did not speak , but seemed completely overcome with the horror of his situation . At a few minutes past twelve , the executioner , a
man named Taylor , a prisoner conhned for larceny , adjusted the ropes around the necks of the condemned , and the drop fell . Then was witnessed one of thoso horrid scones which chills the blood in tbo veins . Both nooses slipped , and tho unfortunate men fell together upon the pavement in a senseless condition . A stifled cry of horror broke from the spectators who crowded up to the spot . The officers of the law rushed forward , and tho criminals were conveyed into t ' se prison through tho main entrance . The rain was now pouring down in torrents , yet it did not disperse the crowd , who eagerly awaited the re-enactment of the tragedy . The condemned revived in a few minutes , and , notwithstanding the rain , w ere reconducted to tbe scaffold . When they ascended the second time , Dalisle , observing a spot of blood on Adams ' s shirt , very coolly asked him how it came there . The ropes were again adjusted , the platform fell , and the criminals were launched into eternity . A few struggles , and all was over . After hanging until they were pronounced by the physicians in attendance to be dead , the bo dioswere conveyed to the prison , where some experiments to resuscitate them were tried , but without effect .
Death From Neglect.—On Monday Afternoon ...
Death from Neglect . —On Monday afternoon Mr Wm . Baker held an inquest at the City of London Union Workhouse , Mile End-road , on the body of Julia Leiry , aged two years and two months . The father of deceased was on Wednosd .-iy last brought before the Lord Mayor at the Mansion House , on a charge of begging and exposing his child in tne public streets ( to excite sympathy ) in a ( tying state ; he was then remanded till Monday , when he was again remanded till the result of the coroner ' s inquest should be known . —John Turner , City police constable 531 , deposed that on Tuesday last he found the deceased child in the arms of the man representing himself to be her father , named Timothy Lwaiv , who was given into Ins custody in Eastoheap for hogging . The child was in a very maciated state
e , and appeared very ill , in consequence of which he took her to Dr . Smith , the parish doctor , in Graceohureh-street , and she was immediately afterwards conveyed to the above workhouse , where Mr . Browne had her taken to the infirmary , and every effort was ma dp 17 Mr . Buncombe , the surgeon to the ' institution , to revive her , but she was iu such a low condition that all efforts were fruitless , and she died on Thursday . In the pocket of the father , on his being taken into custody , was some milk and water , which was in a dirty bottle , labelled poison , and in which some lotion had formerly been , and it was supposed that , the child having been fed ' from it , fen health would have been affected thereby . There was sis or seven shillings and some pence also found on tho prisoner . Verdict , " Death from Neglect . "

Precious Cool. Wonsnir-Strebr.—William F...
PRECIOUS COOL . Wonsnir-STREBr . —William Forde , a man , the back of wboi * e head w * s cut open , and who exhibited a stream of eoasjii'ated blood down his neck , was placed at the bar bofore Mr . Hamm'll for the following impu font robbery : — "r . Georco DfXter , a lodging-house keeper nt Whitechapel , stated that while in bed about four o ' clock that mornrng , having carefully 8 cured the doors and windows on retiring f 0 rest , ho was roused from his sleep by his wife , who violently sh-ok him , and told him she felt satisfied she could see through the door the figure of some man in their si'ting-room , apparently plundering one of the closets . Witness immediitely got up , and , on making his way into the room as quietly as he could , detected the prisoner standing upon a table , busily engaged in unscrewing
his gas fittings , one piece of which he had released from its fastenings , and with tbe other hand toaringawaythe piping . Witness had nothing on but bis shirt , but he tappad the prisoner on the leg , with the somewhat quaint obfifirvation , " that he mas ' -not take too much of that , as b ; should want it himself ; " and the prisoner , without being in the slightest degree di-composed at being discovered , cool ' y replied , " that it was 11 right , and that he did not intend to take much . " Wifn ^ s then got angry , and insisted that he should come down , but tho prisoner took no notice of the-or < 'cr , and went , on unscrowinj . ' his burners , upon which the wi'ness forcibly pulled him off tho tabic on to the floor , and threatsned to send for the police . Tho prisoner then became very abusive , and challenged him out into the etrcet to fight hi ' m , an invitation the witness declined , and as the pr-soner , who displayed tho most
irritating insolence throughout , seamed determined that his visit should not he altogether without profit to himself , and . was about to place his hand upon some of th" fi : tin _ s he had already removed , the witness , who felt muc ' i exasperated , seized hold of one of the pieces with a stopcock nt tho end of it , and dealt th * prisoner such a violent blow over tho back of the head with it as to speedily make hi n forego bis intentions . The prisoner , upon that , displayed the most vindicivo feeling , declaring , with an oath , that ho wmild das ' i in his skull with a brick the first opportunity ho had , nnd marched out of ihe house with another threat of personal violence ; but the witness hurried on his clothes and went , after him , and after a minute search through tho neighbourhood by both him and a constable , tho prisoner was at length discovered beneath a tarpaulin on tho top of a haycart , and taken into custody . When called upon for
his answer to the charge , the prisnnnr did not deny it , but pleaded in extenuation the dreadful blow he had received from the prosecutor , who had struck him with the weapon as hard as he rould , and which blow he trustor ! tho magistrate would regard as an amp ' o set-off . —Mr . flammili , however , did not think so , and was about to order tho dopositions to be at once taken , when the prosecutor interposed , and expressed a hope that tbe magistrate would deal summarily with the rase , as ho had certainly struck the prisoner very heavily , nnd be bad business of imnortance to attend to in the country which wouhi involve him in soserious loss if he were made to prosecute tho e-ise any further . —Mr . Hammill , under theso circumstances , consented to accede to the prosecutor ' s request , and the prisoner was thereupon sentenced to three months' hard labour in the House of Correction for being found in a dwelling-house with a felonious intention .
A BRU T E . Maurice Conlan was charged with a brutal assault . — Charlotte Hislop , a great portion of whoso forehead and f ice was covered with surgical bandages , and who appeared in a very weak and exhausted condition , stated that she had been for a considerable time past living with tho prisoner as his wife , and hail been ever since subjected to a series of the most cruel and scandalous ill treatment by him , which ho had carried to such an extent upon ono occasion that she had been compelled to place him at tho bar of that court , and have him committed to prison for a lengthened period . This , however , had no good effect , for , on the preceding night ho camo homo , as usual , in a state of excitement from intoxication , nnd , after loading her with the most opprobrious epithets for not having his supper ready before she expected him , seized her by tho
hair of her head , and , after pulling her di > wn upon the ground by it , dealt her a heavy blow in tho face with his fist , and flung her violently out of tho room . Sho had nowhere else to go to , and , on tho prisoner becoming somewhat more quiet , fhe again went into the room , but the instant she had entered it the prisoner swore a disgusting oath that he would smash her , and , catching up , 1 yellow earthenware jug , dealt her two such terrible blows on the forehead and face with it as to inflict two serious gashes , from whieh the blood flowed profusely down her neck and clothes , and ono of which was so close to her temple , that , if it had been a little lower , it would most probably base killed her . —A young man named Long confirmed the complainant ' s account of the outrage , and added that while striking the woman the prisoner held her by her hair , apparently to deal bis blows more positively , and that ho then struck her as hard as ho was able . —Mr .
D Eynecourt said that this was just one 0 ' those cases that he should wish , if his sense of justice would allow him , to send at once to the sessions for trial , but he knew verywell if he did bo , that the complainant , like a number of other wives nnd women in recent cases , would fail to appear and prosecute him , either from fear or affection , and that the prisoner would then get off altogether without any punishment at all . He would , therefore , take c-vvo , as far as he could , that tho prisoner and all men actuated by similar brutish propensities who were brought before him should suffer the extreme amount of punishment that he could inflict , an

They left tho theatre tigftber , and went with ano'bor young man to several public houses , and at a late hour he was cakm to a lo d ging house , where he had something to drink which maao him insf'iisible . He , however , had some ronnllcctinii of tho prisoner taking from him a sovereign , . 1 half sovereign , and Ms . before ho left him . On tho following morning when he woke up ho found himself without a farthing , and minus his hat and coat .

The latter accosted them in tho theatre , and undertook to supply them with lodgings .
