The: Fall Of This French Republic. By Xa...
Du teste , nijht and day there was an innescribale tumult , a tempest of confused appellations , , of vociferations and imprecations ; in the court , the clatter of arms on the pavement , the brutal epigrams of the drunken soldiers and the agents of police ; on the stairs there was a eantini » l dini of the hurried feet of the arriving prisoners , driven on by the gendarme . ; beneath , the curses and shr . eis of some : unfortunates , « ho had been already rendered almost mad by ft * . offerings they had endured ; and above all , these horrid noises , the c-minual dashing of the great gate , whith hou-Jy opeFfid to £ ve admittance to the waggons laden
wiih prisoners . . Often , when the cate had been again closed the sergentsde ville threw themselvfs , like tigers , on the prisoner ? , who had their bands bound behind their backs . They knocked them down , and left them upon the stones , where several of them e snir-d . DoubtlefS this appears to yen monsfroittly incredible . To believe it jon uq-nre to call up all the leg itimate horror and contempt with which the existing regime inspires ynu . Well , notwithstanding , this did "c enr— neither more nor l « ss ; we saw it from the windows of our ceKs , wci : h opened on the court . It is as trie as that Bonapatte has violated tie Consti ; n : ion—as true as that Revbtli ant ! Canrobert massacred
passers by on the Boulevards . Each prison lad its sprcial system «; f execution and of death . The prisoue s were a ' mt a ? Mszas , at the Champ de . Mar ? , and in the different paris-of ihetown ; st the prefecture of police they were killed by d'ivirg in their tlcuiis ! It was during the night esrecially that these savage executions tcok place . In the day , the prisoners were grossly insulted , and overwhelmed with cannibal menaces . I will never forget with what an expression of ferocions joy , with what a-Iook of triumphant rage a sergeant of the gendarmerie mobile approached me , and said : — " Twenty-five of yonr friends have been condemned to death , and will be eseccted immediately . You will pass them all !"
Although we were constantly locked up in our cells , we could , notwithstanding , converse through the wickets . In the morning , daringour -five minutes' promenade , we could hastily exchange a few words ; we could . communicate to each other the news we had learnt—news always exaggerate !^ greedily gathered , and ardently commented upon . The deoartmentswere on fire ; they refused to bow beneath the yoke of the gallows-birds of the Elysee ; in the South , Mon-prflier , Marseilles itself , had taken the inilia tive of the insurrection . It was principally hy the turnkeys and gendarmes , that these rumours were spread amongst the prisoners ; the croel wretches thus making a cynical game of the agonies and hopes of the unfortunates . They nevf r failed toadd that , if the insurrection gained ground towards Paris , they would commence , in order to have their hands free by mating away with all the prisoners .

NEWS FROM THE " DIGGINGS
FRIAR'S CREEK . The following letter appeared in the " Geelong Advertiser , " and is stated to be furnished b y a very respecta bl e correspondent : — A month ' s ? ojourn on Fryar ' s Creels has given me a deep insight into the TiioraCe of the diggings , and opened up scents that I could not have anticipated durina : the rosy days when the wonders oi BaUaratfiist flushed onr . imaginations with the prospect of va * t fields of illimitable wealth . At Eallar . it there was peace , unity , and security , bat at Fr jar ' s Creek these desirable qualities are reversel , and quarrels , dissensions , bloodshed , and danger of the direst desedption reigns supreme . The government is palsied , whilst the ill doer runs on a career of unchecked crime and rapine , or at the most is checked by an occasional pistol shot , or similar act of summary justice , responded toby a sroan . and the effect manifested nertm « rnin < E by bloodstains , when a few observations arebsndiedabonl-from tent-to tent thai a man was shot , and no more is heard of the matter . A surgeon is called in to attend a ^ rounded mr . n , no qnes & nis are asked , the fee is paid , and if the man die . he is difposed of . I speak from experience , and fearlessly say thatin retiring to rest the sitne precautions are neeessarv , and
are had recourse to . as thonidi or e were in the heart of an enemy ' s country , and feared a midnight onslaught—^ uns and pistols are loaded— -sentinels appsinted for the nightly watch , and intruders at their peril are warned to . stand off ; and if wild justice be occasionally executed , the evil cannot be imputed to those who stand in deteaes of-selvesand tli-ir hard-earned treasures , bat to the necessity of the liiij , and-ths laxity of the ruling powers . Such a state of things cannot endure Jong . If the ordinary routine o' justice be unequal to the emergency , resort will be had to that which is commensurate to the oxasion—that resort is a terrible one but it is now coolly ashed by many , whether it would not fce better to establish a Lynch law than to allow thieves a plenary impunity .

PINGAI . The * ' Cosnwall Chronicle" of March . IsS says : — It is a difficult matter to report , with any degree of confidence , on the progress of the Fingal gold discovers . Statements from parties engaged in the search are varied and widely different .. On Wednesday last a letter was received in town from a man named John Jones ,-dated Fingal , the day before , in which fee urges two of his * mates' to mai : e the utmost haste to join him , and to find their ¦ way to him it they had to 'beg their way . ' He statee in his letter that he had obtained an ounce a .-3 ay , on an average , since the Friday week . By the same pest we received a communication from a person prospecting , who assured us , ap to that time the quantity of gold obtained by all the 'diggers' then at . work did not amount
to one ons c " . -An able steady man reterned to town yesterday after a week's hard tecour , who assured us that he -had sunk several holes , each of them to the depth , cf six feet , and fbst below that depth , he found a solid bed of rock , through , which . he . could not penetrate . He spoke of the quantity of sold procured as very insiaiuficant , but filt thoroughly satisfied feat the hilly land was rich in the precious metal . Another man reissued yesterday from Fingal , who lias worked at California , at Ballai-at , and at Bathurst , who expresses himself confident in the existenas of gold in abundance in the tiers , and also on the East Coast . We await , therefore , with patience for further information , in the belief that perseverance mthe part of persons engaged in the search will nltimately be rewarded by the discovery oi the deposit .
We (• ' Tasmanian " ) are indebted to Br , Ward for the following communication , dated Fingal , 4 th -of March : Things remains in statu , quo as regards the average vjsld of the diggings at Goldtn Valley , but . ev . oy day add * to the number of persons flawing in to visit thein . Sear Melrose , the residence of Mr . James Grant , jun ., six miles away from the present dfeaings , several pieces « f gold have been found within the last day or two , equal in size to the largest yet obtained tere , and the datafuraMied by geology warrant the conclusion that nearly the whole of » he north-east angle of the island , from St . Patrick ' s head to Cape Portland , is likely to turn out a rich auriferous field . Here appearances are ia every respect as encouraging as ever . Yesterda ? I was' prospecting * ep a creek , on the southern side of the tier which separates it from' Golden Valley . ' and observed the mo <* promosing indications—though , from the absence of water -we could notascertain the presence of gold by the process of washing as often as I wished ; yet whin we h id an qpoortanitj' of wasbine gold was obtained . * a '

THE CASE OP MR . MURRAY . The following has appeared in the " Daily News . " Office of the Society of the Friends of Italv , 10 , Southampton-street , Strand , July 14 th , 1852 . Sir , —I have this day received , through a channel which I need not iudicate , the following appeal to the English people , written by Mr . Murray ' s own hand in the prison of Ancona , and clandestinely forwarded thence for transmission to England . Mr . Murray , though an English subject by birth , has resided so long iu Italy , and has received so much of his education there , that he writes English , as you will perceive rather as an acquired than as his native tongue . A few iuaccuraci . s of spelling excepted , the copv herewith sent , aid of which I rcqae .-t the publication , ' is a literal transcript of the original letter now before me . I am , sir , your obedient servant , Davib ilissos , Secretary .
TO THE EXGLISH PEOPLE . I knew very well that amongst the persons emploved in the adm nisteation of the government of the Pope there were men whose heart * CJtda still fee opened to mercy towards the unfortunate 8 iw I have a fresh confirmation of this , for it is through one of those re 7 men I iiKceeded , my nation , ia letting tke voice of my sorrow t ? ive as far as thee . 1 nres long eternal years have elapsed since I am suffering all the misery of confinement in a Papal dungeon : vet I never be- " -ed for mercy . Had I felt myself guilty , 1 c uld bare easil y escaped any persecuftn a-haterer , beh . g possessor of a regular passport . But my . cousc : euce being pure , I thought nothingbut rt-joia my family to Ancona . being guilty , should I have twice renewed the prayer ct lemgjudged by an Austrian commission of war ? Mr . Moore , the Engli-a consul at Ancona , nm testify it .
Oh , my sufferings are beyond all understanding . I remained during six months shut up iu my dungeon , where I became soon affected by a serious n finery . Jly judge , Paoli , would not permit me to be transferred to the infirmary . So that I was condemned to be devtnred by fever , in the furthest corner of my dung-on . And all that before beingjud ^ cd . Only wl . en aa energetical protestation of my physician , M . Monti , and a remonstrance if the English consul , Mr . Moore , declared my Ike in MnHiinentdanjrer , upon those extremities only I wasallowed to beicmovidtotheinanrary . At length I obtained a more capa-« . usj » ris . n . / leannhdegntfiras digging my father ' s grave . The poor old man lonjed to tee me once more before shutting V « «•«
lor ever . JUy mother h ? gged that permission from Prelate Bedini , the Papal commissary , and from my judge , M . Paoli ; they had nothing to d * but take me , under a good guard , from the prison to myfaihershon 3 e . Ju . id . cal reasons there were none to contrast that tct of humanity ; my process having long been finished , and I being no more . m strict seclusion .

My process hid been comp ' etcd a year aj . 0 , since a year I had no more been kept up in a solitary dungeon , tut in a common prison .

A very damp lurking place , seven ftet long and ftur wide , unwholesome aud completely dark , no nr ^ atu cf air penetrating into it , for then ; was no window at all .

me to see my family , but at the presence of ignoble spies , who were there to catch every ward , to interpret every tigh of the afflicted soul ! And all those sufferings 1 could have easily spared to myself had 1 but refused to be present to my judgment ; all those sufferings were they of any advantage to my cau ^ e ! I went before the tribunal , t-ut with no guarantee of any kind . I did not know neither my accusers nnr my witnesses ; even their very names were strange to me . I never heard the voice of the man they entitled my defender . After a constitute much like all those I had sustained in my prison , I was ' sent back to my dungeon long before any discussion . Consequently what could I tell a bout my trial ? Ignorant of proofs , scarcely aware of the accusation , I cou'd but venture supposition . Notwithstanding , I shall mention a single fact chanc alone made me . 'ft-quaintcd with . Two witnesses had been produced by me to confute an accusation . Myjud ^ e Paoli assured me they had both contradict d themselves . But some time after 1 could be convinced tb ; . t it was not true . For hy means of Mr . Moore 1 could get a declaration from them they had never been interrogated . I produced that declaration before the tribunal . .. , ., The notion of this sinele fact is sufficient to me to think as ial = e many otters which unfortunately I cannot present in all their evidence for want of proofs
. If someday impartial men would examine my process I have no doubt they would proclaim my innocence immediately . But who can obtain such an act of justice from the Roman prelates ? 1 liou canst , English people , and lentreatit in the name of humanity , in the name of my honour so tutraged . Shoud I be a victim ottlie sickness that consumes mv bodv , or should I experience all the weight ot sacerdotal tyranny , English people remember this the prayer cf an unfortunate countryman of tlrne . I shall die contented if followed into the grave by the ' hope that one daj my process being revised through thy powerful interference , my innocent son will be hahle to cry to the face of my base calumniators , 'No , my father was not a murderer ] ' Eowaeo JiUhray , From the prison of Ancona , June 2 G 1852 .

GARDENING CALENDAR . KITCHES-OABDEK . Take afiVan ! a ? e o' fine weather to eradicate such weeds as have sprung up during the last rains , and which the wet state of the ground hasallow . d time to grow . The present state of the have atmo . phere is l < k-ly to bring on various forms of mildew . We seen two or thr > : e cases of disease among the potatoes ; and garden and field beans are in many places partially destroyed by blight . Directly ground can be got in readiness , the main crop of broccoli , Brussels sprouts , and -winter greens of all kinds should be planted , if the weather is dry -, only partially fill wp the hole in planting , to allow tor watering them in dry weather ; or plant them with a large trowel-spade ; the dibber , or setting stick , we would discard , if poss ble , from all gardens . The last crop of peas should be sown directly , selecting an early sort for- ths purpose .
The same rule will apply to beans ..-Frequently hoe between advancing crops . Cauliflowers planted in shallow holes , or trenches , may be slightly filled up , but not sufficiently to prevent their taking good soakings of water in dry weather . Asparagus and seakale , making rapid growth , will be benefited by a £° otl sprinkling of salt , and frequent soakings of liquid manure . To have fine crowns next spring , attention to these matters should be paid to them now . We generally sprinkle a little salt along the celery trenches before earthing them up ; it both kills slugs and worms , and accelerates the growth of the plants . Plant out a good supply of endive , and make further sowings . Continue the regular sowings of lettuce and other salad plants . The first celery may have a slight earthing up , first removing all suckers . Let every attention be given towards maintaining a clean and well-regulated appearance among the growing crops . '
BABDY . FRUIT GAMES . Birds have of lats years become so numerous , that it requires netting in abundance to preserve fruit from their ravages . Ae the fruit is gathered the earlier cherries remove the setting , - which may serve for protecting later crops . If there are any . traces of fly on the trees , let them be again well washed with the engine . tookovertb . epeacb . es and nectarines , and in tying to the young wood see that the fruit is not too thi-k . aliening a few extra for stoning in the peach and nectarine : The nailing in the current wood ; washing aud stopping those shoots not required for fruiting , are the principal things to be attended to in this department .
FLOWER GABDSN AND SHBCBBEBF . A complete stirring of the flower garden beds , to break up the . hard crusty surface , caused by the late heavy rains , should be made before ths plants get : much larger . Proceed with pegging down , or tying growing plants as they advance , till they occupy their allotted space , when more freedom may be allowed them , but even then , in well-arranged flower gardens , each bed should te perfectly symmetrical as a , whole , although forming only part of the general design ; remove weeds as they appear , , and pay the greatest attention to neatness and order , without which the richest display of flowers looks unsatisfactory . Advantage should be taken of examining the walks during heavy rains , to see the drains are sufficient to carry off the water , and additional drams and grates put down where necacsary . In addition to the plants named last week for ornamental gardenhedges , we strongly recommend Cupressus Goveniana for embellishing ; architectural gardens ; it appears to bear the knife well , while its quick growth , upright habit , and beautiful light green foliage , are strong claims for its adoption on terraces or parterres in the Italian style , where it is ike y to supersede the upright . Cypress and Irish yew , being , as we Ihink , hardier than the former , and of quicker growth than the tatter . —Gardener ' s Chronicle .
A Bihd Twbkty Fbet Hioh.—Not Many Years ...
A Bihd Twbkty Fbet Hioh . —Not many years ago a sailor presented at the British Museum a huge marrowbone , which he desired to sell , and which he had brought from New Zealand . The officers of that institution not usually dealing in that class of marine stores , referred him to the College of Surgeons , where they said be would find a gentleman—one Prof . Owen—who had a remarkable predilection for old bones . Accordingly , the sailor took his treasure to the professor ; who , finding it unlike any bone even he had any knowledge of , sent " the man away rejoicing with a full pocket—rejoicing himself in the acquisition of a new subject for scientific inquiry . Although the bone had manifestly contained marrow , and was , therefore , unlike the hones , of birds in general , Mr . Owen concluded from certain structural evidences , that this bone had belonged to a bird ,
and a bird of a species hitherto unknown . Those who have -ever experienced the-Sntter which , the clue to any discovery ef a scientific character . occasions ; will ' at once understand the excitement which was felt b y t he l i ttle w orl d of naturalists to whom the professor displayed hie new bone . It was immediately figured and lithographed , and copies , with certain instructions for finding other such bones , were seat out to 2 v ew Zealand , to be distributed wherewer Europeans had trod among the ferns of that colony . Years passed . By , and by a very big box arrived in Lincoln's-nn-fields , Lon d on , cootaining congeners o f t h e sailor ' s marrowbone ,, some of them upwards of a yard long . Professor Owen set to work , and built up foist these hones , not . one , but five ( ultimetely eleven ) diaticct species of an extinct animal hitherto utterly unknown to aaturaf history . It must have been unable to fly ( hence the marrow instead of air , in the bones ) , and must hare had uncommon pedestrian powers ( hence the necessity for ; marrow ) . The structure of the beak and ne c k in d icates t h at i ts p ow e r o f . wrenching and - grubbing ap roots must have been tremendous . Its food was fern
roots / which , mfieo Zealand , are so farinaceous that the natives make bread of them to t h is day . It has been naeied the dinornis , because it is the most stupendous of b irds { denois , fearfull y gr e at , ornis , bird ) . Tho disappearance ot the dinornis is easily accounted . When the progenitors , of the pres e nt n a t i ve tr ib e fi rst lan d e d from t h e S outh Se a , t he di a or n i s must have-been th ei r only a nimal food ; for in New Zsaland no quadrnpeds are indigenous . As it took no longer than a century for the Dutch to extirpate the doda from the Mauritius , a couple of centuries would have quite-sufficed to kill and cook the dinornis off the face of JJesv Zealand . When these birds had been all eaten up the Maoris took to killing and cooking oneanother . The next great zoological excitement to be looked for is a real live dinornis . If one of these gigantic birds be ever found and brought to the Regent ' s Park , the hippopotamus may accept the Chiltern Hundreds , and retire from the representation of the Kile , disgusted at the lead that will be taken by the hop . member from New Zealand . —Dickens ' s Household Words ,
~ Ssw Metkopolitas Water Acr . —The act to make better provision respecting the supply of water to the metropolis , which received the Royal assent on the 1 st inst ., contains twenty-nine clauses and a schedule . From the 31 st of August , 1855 , no companies , except the Chelsea -waterworks , to take water from any part of the river Thames below Teddington-lock , or from any part of any of the tributary rivers or streams of the river Thames below the high est poi n t where the tide flows ; from the 31 st of August , 1 8 55 , reservoirs , within a limited distance , are to be covered ; from thi 3 lst of December , . 1855 , every company is to filter all water supplied by them for domestic use ; three months before any company shall resort to any new source of water , such company must give notice to any Board of Trade , who may thereupon appoint an inspector . Engines are to
consume their own smoke . There are several provisions to enable the Board of Trade to enforce the act . The metropolis includes " all such places lying on the north side or left bank of the river . Thames as are within the exterior boundaries of , and are within the circuit formed by , the parishes of Fulham , Hammersmith , Kensington , Paddington , Hampstead , Hornsey , Tottenham , St . Pancras , Islington , Stoke Newington , Hackney , Stratford-Ie-Bow , Bromle y , Poplar , and Shadweil ; such part ef the parish of Chelsea as lies north of the said parish of Kensington , an d suc h parts and places lyin - on the south side or right bank of the said river are within the ambit formed b y th e parishes of "Woolwich , Charlton , Greenwich , Deptford , Lee , Lewisham , Camberwell , Lambeth , Streatham , Tooting , Wandsworth , and Putney . IKQUEST ON THE BODI OP A pEMAM UNKNOWN— On Tuesday Mr . Baker held an inquest at the King ' s Head Tavern , High-street , Poplar , on the body of a female about eighteen years of age , which was found on Monday , few hours after
apparently a immersion , i . the water near the outer quay of the West India Docks . It had been impossible to identify the body , but a letter was found in the dress of the deceased , purporting to have been written by ^ f ? and In _ wh ! cu sue named herself Hannah Roach , of Killhaven Town . The letter was addressed as to an aunt , and was written m the language of one whom betrayal had reduced to the extremest despair . The fixed yet tender melancholy and kind remembrance of friends , minted with the mi dest reproaches and dreadfull y minute presentiments of a self-murderer s end , which were conta ned in the document , made a deep impression on the jury , but failed to throw a satisfactory light on the case . Thompson , the summoning officer said he had made every inquiry , but had not b en able to learn any clue of . the deceased ' s friends , fhe coroner said itwas a very remarkable letter , and the probability was the deceased had destroyed herself , but there was no evidence how she came into the water . The jury concurring returned an open verdict of » Found Drowned . the deceased was enceinte

The Theatres. Sadler's Wells. The Operat...
THE THEATRES . SADLER'S WELLS . The operatic performances at this theatre jit present are exceedin lv good , and deservedly successful . The ' Freischutz ' waa prodiTce 1 for the first time on Saturday evening , in a manner which would have done no discredit to a regular musical theatre . The ei'rangeraems . of course , are on a scale corresponding to the small size of the house ; . but they are , as might bo expected from the able and experienced musical director , Mr . German Ueed , judicious and satisfactory . Tho orchestra consists of good performers on their respective instruments ; they play in good tune , go well together and show careful discipline . The principal characters were well sustained hy Miss Louisa Pyne , Sir . Harrison , Miss Isaacs , and Mr . Whitworth . The minor parts were fairly supported , and the opera as a whole , was an extremely pleasii-g entertainment . It wis followed by a one act piece , called 'The Chameleon , ' an adaptation by Mr . Brough , of a Prench piece produced this season at the St . James ' s Theatre , and in which the principal character was performed bj Mademoiselle Dejazet . That versatile actress played the part of a young nobleman , a l ' arisian roue , who , having a lawsuit pending at Vienna , visits in succession three Aulio . Councillors , who are to bo his judges , and gaius their favour by adopting their foibles . One is a pedantic bookworm , another is a sporting squire , and the third is hen-pecked by his wife , who is a dragon of ¦ vivtue . The young spa . rts g ^ a the pedant ' s heart by pedantry more extravagant than his own j beats the sportsman 111 hunting , slang , joviality , and drinking j and charms the virtuous lady by a semblance of innocence and simplicity . Ml this , m the perform , anee of Mr . Brough ' s adaptation , was done by Miss P . Horton , whose assumption of the various characters was remarkably clever , but in a totally different style from that of Dejazet—being bold , broad , and withaut those nice strokes of heart for which the French actress is so distinguished . It was very amusing nevertheless , and kept the audienco in roars of laughter .
DRURY LANE . On Monday night this theatre was crowded to the roof by an audience congregated for the ' benefit' of Mr . Allerofe , whose musical , and other services , in various shapes , have secured a special ' public' of his own , and annually ready to recognise his merits . There were , no doubt , more than the friends of Mr . Allcroft present that night ; for the bill for the evening contested favourably with the programmes of the olher theatres , and so varied an attraction had a proper effect . There were two disap . pointuients . Mr . Sims Beeves and Mdlle . Favantt , operatically , and Mr . C . Mathews and Madame Vestris , dramatically , were to have been the stars of the heterogeneous and exceptional company ; but it so happened tnat both the ladies fell sick and were unable to appear . The audience , however , was good natured and bore both catastrophes with patience : all the greater , that in addition to singing ' Elvino , ' through the ' Sonnatnbula , ' Mr . Sims Beeves gave his favourite scena from ' Lucia di Lammermoor ; and that farce of Delicate Ground
Mr . 0 . Mathews substituted for the good ' ( inwhieh Madame Vestris was to have played Pauline ) the better farce of ' ¦ Taken bySiorm . 'in which all the business is done by himself . In tha ' Sonnombula' Madame Clara Noveltowas the Araina , her representation of that character being evidently a novelty to the miscellaneous audience , and producing- most irregular plaudits asd unbounded , satisfaction . Mr . Reeves , as if excited by treading the boards on which he made his first English representatisn , sang better than we ever before heard hi" ) sing ; and , notwithstanding ail the disadvantages of introducing between two comic dramas a scena like that fromt e ' Lucia , ' his magnificent Singing of wailing music of Edgardo resulted in as great an effect as could be witnessed on the more proper occasions , when tbe opera has been given as a whole , and when the previous acts have pre . pared ' an audience sympathetically for the sadjsnote . - ihe lengthy bill concluded with' " ' TheBlngdoves , ' a Lyceum play , suited to an evening on which the cream of . the Lyceum company , in honour of Mr . Allcroft , was collected . The Mooney of Mr . Basil Baker was a piece of acting well worthy of notice .
The Late Thunderstorm.—Accounts From The...
The Late Thunderstorm . —Accounts from the West of Ensland state that considerable damage was done by the thun de r s torm of Monday l a st , w h ich it seems , for the time it lasted , was almost unexampled in . violence . A large quantity of hay has been spoilt and the corn crops are laid in many places , and potatoes have been actually worked out of ths soil . Three cottages at Bishop ' s Hull were struck by the electric fluid , and totally consumed in a short space of time . - The property , which belonged to Mr . Browne , of Stepswater , was insured for £ 400 , which will nearly cover the loss . The storm also destroyed a fine cow in Cairn ' s-field , belonging to Mr . Robert England , which was killed by the electric fluid . An aerolite during the st o rm o f thu nde r , lightning , and rain struck the house occup ied by Mr . Graham , near Fairwater , doing considerable damage to the interior of the premises . The electric fluid passed through the apartment , and took a direction close by the chair in which a minute before Mr . Graham
had been sitting . It shattered a handsome eight day bracket clock , decomposing the brass ornaments outside , and considerably damaging the inside works , the minute and hour hands stopping at half-past nine . Tho marble chimney-piece was shattered , and the electric current passing through the house took a direction downwards , and penetrated the adjoining field , where it is supposed the aerolite is lodged . A fine tree was riven by the lightning at Eastbrok Trull . A horse was killed and another much injured at Pondisford . A boy riding on horseback at Bishop ' s Hull was thrown off and had his arm broken . Legal Thieves . —A few days ago , J . T . Russell , a solicitor , was committed to Horsemonger-lane Gaol , on a charge of obtaining money on false pretences . It appeared that sometime ago Russell obtained a sum of money from the proprietor of one of the stands at Epsom races , by representing himself as the agent of a gentleman who had been injured by the falling of the stand about two years ago .
