Foreign Intelligence. France., Three Men...
FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE . FRANCE ., Three men and one -woman were found guilty , by the tribunal 0 of correctional police , of the crime of evil speaking against the 1 Prince President of the Republic . They were all sentenced to t < terms of imprisonment varying from three to six months , and t three of them were besides fined lOOfr . each . ROME . Letters ironi Rome speak of new arrests at Spoleto and other I parts of the Roman territory .
Worship-Street.—Manslaughter.—Yesterday,...
Worship-street . —Manslaughter . —Yesterday , Adam Clark , i a butcher , in Tabernabie-walk , Finsbury , was placed at the bar \ before Mr . Hammill , charged with assaulting and causing the c death of a boy 15 years of age , whose name was unknown . —Jno . \ Bartlett-said , I am a letter-sorter in the General Post-office , and was passing through Tabernacle-walk on my way home about i a quarter past eight , when I saw a boy , without hat or cap , : running as fast as he could , and pursued by a man dressed like a butcher , and resembling the prisoner . The hoy passed me at , a rapid pace , but on reaching the corner , the man struck him ,,
on the side of the lace . The boy had slid down when he was caught by the man , to avoid being hit , and the butcher spoke to him , but not angrily . What was said I could not hear , but the boy made something like a denial , and I think his words were , " I did not do it . " The butcher hit him with both his hands , on either side of the head , and on receiving the second blow the boy fell to the ground and rolled over on his side . A mob collected and the butcher went away , as I did also , thinking nothing of it . —Other witnesses corroborated the evidence . Mr . Lewis contended that the whole of the evidence only went
to prove that the unhappy affair was a fortuitous occurrence , and the result of the purest accident , and trusted , if the magis trate felt bound to commit his client upon it , that he would consent to accept substantial bail for his future appearance . Mr . Hammill said , after some consideration , that under tlie circumstances he thought he would be justified in acceding to this request ; but he should fix the bail at the prisoner himself in £ 200 and two responsible sureties in £ 100 each . The bail was shortly after procured , and the prisoner , who displayed much firmness , was thereupon liberated .
Explosion Ai\ T D Loss Op Life At Lambet...
EXPLOSION AI \ D LOSS OP LIFE AT LAMBETH . Yesterday , Mr . W . Payne held an inquest at Guy ' s Hospital , on view of the body of Chas . Noble Farebrother , aged 30 years , a mathematical instrument maker , who lost his life by an explosion on the premises of Mr . Darker , of No . 9 , Paradise-street , l < anibetii-waik , under the following circumstances : — Henry Sexton , a brass finisher , stated that he had worked with the deceased in the service of Mr . Darker . On Thursday afternoon last , the deceased had charge of a wrought iron boiler , which was intended for an hydro-electric machine , ordered for
University College , which tney were fitting up according to the original plan . The deceased was at the forge about three o ' clock in the ' afternoon , and had charged the boiler ( which was only nine inches in diameter ) with the usual quantity of water for the purpose of testing it , when witness said , 4 i Charley , how is the steam ? " whentne deceased replied , " Oh , just up . " Witness left the forge to go to the vice , when Mr . Darker entered the shop , and in about a minute afterwards a loud explosion took place . Witness ran to the forge , but the sinake and dust was so thick that he could not see them lor a
few minutes . The forge was blown down , and a portion of the roof had been carried away . Witness heard the deceased calling for help , and exclaim . " Drag me out . " Witness then discovered the deceased nearly covered over with the bricks and rubbish , but with difficulty got him into the yard . He groaned , aud seemed much injured by the weight which had fallen upon him . Mr . Jeffries , the surgeon , of Paradise-street , was called , who advised the deceased ' s removal to the hospital . Witness could not account for the explosion , as the
boiler had " been tested in the regular way . It was the loth of an inch in thickness , and the means adopted to try them were by testing them with a safety valve , which has a certain weight attached to a lever . The deceased thoroughly understood the nature of the work he was engaged in , and although only a small portion of the boiler had been found , witness did not believe it was defective in any way . The boiler was always tested and heated by placing it on the forge fire . They had tested many others in the same way , but never had an accident before . Mr . Darker was aho much
injured about the head and body , and at present was lying in a very dangerous state . William Weaver , another workman , was examined at great length , but he was unable to account for the bursting of the boiler . He did not consider it dangerous to test them in such a manner . If the iron was defective , they had no other means of detecting their imperfections . James Farebrother said the deceased made a statement to his
wile before he died to the effect that he had got the steam to a proper height , when Mr . Darker requested him to test it more . Deceased told him that it would be dangerous , but Mr . Darker shifted the weight to the end of the lever , and directly afterwards the boiler exploded . The deceased ' s wife requested witness to make these facts known to the jury , as she considered them important . Mr . Ramsgill , the house surgeon , deposed to the deceased
being admitted on Tursday afternoon , suffering from severe contusions and bruises on various parts of the body ; but , although every assistance was rendered , ne expired on Friday ( yesterday ) morning . Witness had since made a fiost mortem examination , and found that the deceased had died from an extensive rupture oi the intestines , which had no doubt been caused by some heavy substance falling upon him . The deceased told witness he had been testing a small boiler intented for an hydro-electric machine , when it burst .
Other evidence having been adduced , the coroner remarked on the case . He thought there was no blame to be attached to any one , for the deceased was considered fully competent to test the boiler which had exploded . It was probable that the iron might have been defective , and caused the melancholy disaster ; but they were to say whether any individual was to blame . The jury , after a brief consultation , returned a verdict of " Accidental Death . "
Explosion Ai\ T D Loss Op Life At Lambet...
Railway Accident . —On Thursday evening , as the express trian of the London and North Western Railway Company , which left Euston-square at five o ' clock , was on its way to Manchester from Crewe , a little after nine o ' clock , it ran off the line under most alarming circumstances . It appears to have attained a speed of about forty miles an hour when , about three miles north of Crewe , a buffer , with the long iron rod attached , which had probably dropped off a preceding train , obstructed the line . The driver became aware that one of the fore wheel guards
was in contact with something , and he slackened speed . About 200 yards further he ascertained that the obsturction was still driving before him , and was so alarmed that he instantly reversed his engine , and brought the train to a stand 100 yards further on , just as one of the fore-wheel guards had broken and the two forewheels of the engine went off the rails , and became embedded in the sand forming the ballast of the line . So well had the driver managed , that he in reality brought the train to a stand almost without a sensible shock . The passengers , however , were much alarmed by the great quantity of sand which was thrown up , and which found its way into the carriages ' . till the seats and
floors were coated nearly an inch thick . The train was detained about two hours . The guard had to run back to Crewe , and bring up another engine , and a force of men to get the engine of the train on the line again . The passengers , 20 in number , were so pleased with the conduct of the engine driver , in sticking to his post after he must have been almost enveloped in a cloud of sand , that they offered him a handsome collection made on the spot , but he declined it . It is almost unnecessary to say that the buffer had been pushed before the engine until it had broken the fore-wheel guard , and the wheels then went over it , and the engine was thrown off the rails by these means
Ajj English Bull Fight—On Monday morning a desperate encounter took place between two two-year-old bulls on the land of Mr . Guy , of Hamsey , Lewes . It appears that Mr . Elwyn , whose farm adjoins Mr . Guy ' s , has a bull which broke through into a field where Mr . Guy ' s bull was grazing . A fearful conflet took place between the animals . They fought with the most fearful violence for upwards of a quarter of an hour ; and our informant states that one of them had his horn broken broken off close to the head . When they were almost exhausted , the man on the farm succeeded in separating them . —Brighton Gazette .
Great Westers Railway . —The telegraph on this line from Swindon to Gloucester , has just been laid down . It was sufficiently perfect on the occasion of her Majesty ' s journey to be used to telegraph the royal progress . Mr . Rice , m . p ., at Dover . — The demonstration given in honour of the return to parliament , for the fourth time , of Edward Royd Rice , Esq ., took place on Thursday last in the spacious building used as the New Market , which was comraodiously fitted up for the occasion . Steriker Finnis , Esq ., occupied the chair .
The Three Englishmen who have engaged to steer their course down the Danube to Constantinople , reached Vienna , the 29 th ult . The voyagers hoisted the Union Jack on entering the Vienna canal . Singular Accident . —One night last week , as Mrs . Cracknell , of Exning , near Newmarket , was going to bed , she took up a small china image , which she frequently used instead of an extinguisher , and putting it on the candle , it instantly burst with a terrible report , flying over the room to the danger of the occupants , and singeing the hair and eyebrows of Mrs . Cracknell . It appears that the image had been filled with gunpowder , but how or when is still a mystery . —Bury Post .
Sheffield Cutlers' Feast . —This banquet , given annually in honour of the inauguration of the-newly-erected master cutler , took place at the Cutler ' s Hall , on Thursday last . Philanthropic Society . —Yesterday a quarterly general court of the committee of managemenf of the society ' s school , at Red-hill Farm , Reigate , was held at the London Tavern ; William Gladstone , Esq . in the chair .
A Confirmed Murderess . —The woman , Louisa Ferris , who was transported for cutting a policeman ' s throat , at Bristol , having behaved herself in a -most exemplary menner while in Van Diemen ' s Land , obtained a ticket of leave ; almost immediately afterwards she cut another man ' s throat , at Melbourne , and she had been left for execution when this intelligence was despatched . —Bath Chronicle ,
Great Fire in Hamburg . —A fire broke out at Hamburg on Monday , in the Deich-Strasse , near the spot where the conflagration of 1842 commenced , but was got under in about three hours . The damage is estimated at 80 , 0 u 0 marks banco . From the pressure of the crowd on one of the bridges the balustrade gave way , and about thirty persons were thrown into the canal .
A Tale of a Proselyte . —A case , at which of course the profane smile , has just occurred in this neighbourhood , showing how good intentions and religious zeal may at times be imposed on by the worldly-minded . A gentleman , who takes more than ordidary interest in the spiritual welfare of the Jewish race , fell in with one of the wanderers from Canaan , and , attracted by his hook nose , sharp eye , and black hair , began to angle for a convert , texts being thrown at him as tenderly as a fisherman flings his artificial fly before rising trout . The son
of Israel fairly began to nibble , till at interview after interview he appeared to be fairly caught . He listened with an attentive ear and a solemn face , and at last the good man proposed that he should be formally introduced into the Christian Church , preparatory to his producing him at the next anniversary meeting as a live Jew converted by his eloquence . This was agreed to ; but first he had some worldl y gear that encumbered him , a little lot of jewellery worth £ 60 , that he must convert into cash to seek a fresh mode of life after embracing his new faith : and
out of pure benevolence , and as a return for the interest taken in his welfare , he offered it for £ 40 . At first there was some hesitation as to taking advantage of the warm feelings of the convert—his gratitude appeared to have overcome the proverbial discretion of his race ; but at length the work was completedthe £ 40 was paid , and the stumbling block removed . The denoument may be easily divided . The jewellery looks delicious by candlelight , but its worth at the utmost is about £ 10 , and the Jew has fled unbaptized either to Duke ' s-place or the golddiggings . —Chelmsford Chronicle .
