Foreign Intelligence. Rome. The Roman Co...
FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE . ROME . The Roman correspondent of the Augsburg Gazette writes on f the 2 Sth ult .: —For several days past a considerable number of 1 revolutionary handbills have been circulated in Rome ; . they are < distributed broadcast in our streets and squares every evening . r The sbirri are this evening patrolling the streets , arresting here i and there a passenger , who is subjected to a searching of pockets , t and it" carrying one of the dangerous papers , carried off . The ] police have also been husy making domiciliary requisitions ; twenty-five such were executed two days ago , and as many : more yesterday . The bills in circulation are descriptions of the funeral of Mazzini ' s mother at Genoa , a funeral oration on the four political delinquents executed at Forli on account of the funeral of Vidi , the emigrant . "
The Cholera.—The Prevalence Of Cholera I...
The Cholera . —The prevalence of cholera in Prussian Poland has induced the government to postpone for a week the convocation of the provincial diet of Posen . On the 3 rd inst . there were 99 new cases at Posen , and 37 deaths ; 434 recoveied under treatment . In Bromherg the increase of the disease has led the Berlin War-office to countermand the annual exercise of the military reserve force . The manoeuvres of the regular
troops had also been postponed for the same reason . In Ortrowa the number of cases in all had been 428 ; of deaths , 225 . In Danzig , by the last returns , the disease was on the increase ; on the 30 th and 31 st ult . 60 new cases and 20 deaths were reported . It also appeared in the villages of Olivia and Oppot . Reports of the appearance of the epidemic in Breslau have been contradicted officially .
G-keat Fire in Denmark-street . —A most entensive iire broke out yesterday morning , at a lew minutes before four o ' clock , and at noon was far from being extinguished , though property valued at many thousand pounds sterling had then been destroyed . The scene was in Denmark-street , St . Geo : ge ' sin-tlie-East , at the sugar refining houses of Messrs . Braden and Co . In a very short period after the alarm was given , the flames shot forth from one of the windows of a building probably 50 or GO feet high , of vast depth and width , with such violence as to threaten with destruction everv structure near . Dismay soon
spread through the immediate locality , and men , women , and children , in their night clothes were to be seen rushing about the street carrying in their arms their children or anything portable , that they could place their hands upon . By the time the engines reached the spot the flames had taken possession of every floor in the building , and had extended into another structure termed the New House , which adjoined the firstnamed . Each place contained many tons weight of sugar , and as the same became ignited , the flames rolled forth like streams of liquid fire , throwing up a glare of light , the reflection of which could be seen as far off as Gravesend In
a few hours the larger building became gutted , and the smaller one about two-thirds destroyed . The firm was insured . The origin of the misfortune is enveloped in obscurity . Fire at a Turpentine Factory . — Yesterday information reached the London Fire-offices of an extensive fire which took place atCheshuut , Herts , on the previous day . The conflagration took place in a large building occupied by Mr . Perry , varnish and turpentine factor , which contained at the time 700 barrels of turpentine , with a considerable quantity of rosin , varnish , and other inflammable articles . The building , witli its contents , was of course destroyed , and a hay-stack in a field adjoining .
Monument to Sir Robert Peel—On Thursday last , another monument to the late fc ? ir Robert Peel was inaugurated in Lancashire . This monument consists of a massive square tower , built of stone , on liolcombe Hill , at the cost of Joshua Knowles , Esq .
The Sheffield Murder. Adjourned Inquest....
THE SHEFFIELD MURDER . adjourned inquest . The inquest was resumed on Thursday afternoon , in the sessions-room at the Town Hail . The police produced evidence tracing the prisoner and the deceased within a short distance of the field where the latter -was afterwards found murdered . It appeared that in the interval between the prisoner ' s leaving Naylor ' s with the deceased , at two o ' clock on Thursday , and the prisoner calling at the Royal Standard , a little after four o ' clock , and leaving the pack of the deceased , the two were seen walking
along the foot-path of the field adjoining that in which the murder was committed . The Deputy Coroner having inquired if the prisoner wished . to say anything relative to the case , the latter , in a firm voice , and repeating the words dictated by his solicitor , said , "I am not guilty of this supposed murder : and if sent for trial , 1 reserve my defence to the charge . " The Deputy Coroner then addressed the Jury , laying before them a summary of the evidence . The Jury then retired , and after
an absence of twenty minutes returned into court with the following verdict : — " We unanimously agree in a verdict of Wilful Murder against James Barber . " The Coroner at once made out his warrant for the prisoner ' s committal to York Castle . M'Cormack , who had been admitted as a witness , was brought up in custody , and after signing his deposition , was informed that he would be detained in custody until the Magistrates could consult as to the means to be taken to secure his attendance on the trial .
Fatal Accident on the Manchester , Sheffield , and Lincolnshire Railway . —We regret to state that an accident of a very serious character , resulting in the loss of two lives and the injury of several persons , occurred on the above line of railway on Wednesday evening last . The following details respecting the sad catrastophe have been obtained on the spot : —The train was one of the Great Northern Company , which leaves the Sheffield station at 9 . 10 p . m . in order to arrive at Retford in time for the mail train from the north , which is due at the latter place
at 10 o ' clock . On Wednesday evening the train , consisting of a light engine and tender , driver Samuel Wright , stoker William Lee , a first-class carriage with one passenger in it , a thirdclass carriage with four passengers , a break-van with the guard Charles Tuckwood , in it , and two goods waggons , started from Sheffield about the regular time . On arriving at the embankment about three-quarters of a mile from the Woodhouse junction , and less than four miles from Sheffield , the train from some cause other got off the linej the engine and carriages ran some distance , tearing up the rails and earth , when the former fell

over the south side o f the embankment , which is here 50 f eet high , and the latter over the north side , the driver being crushed under the fire-box , where he lay , with his legs burning , for upwards of an hour before he could be extricated . The guard was killed on the spot , and the other persons in the train more or less injured . Suicide . —Yesterday evening , Mr . Carter , Coroner for East Surrey , held an inquest on the body of David Daniel Le Boutillier , aged 51 , who was found drowned in the Grand Surrey Canal , on Wednesday last . Verdict : " That the deceased destroyed himself whilst in a state of mental derangement brought on by poverty .
Another " Accidental Death . "—Shocking Inhumanity . — On Thursday afternoon Mr . W . Payne held an inquest at Guy ' s Hospital on the body of William Friend , an agricultural labourer , aged fifty . —ltcsiah Friend , the widow of the deceased , stated that on Saturday last her husband was engaged in a field at Westerham , Kent , carting oats for Mr . Young , a fanner of that $ lace . Being short of hands , Mr . Young assisted in throwing the oats up into the cart in which deceased was at work , and as soon as a spot was cleared Mr . Young signalled the horses to go on . Deceased was in the act of catching a sheaf
thrown up to him , when , at Mr . Young ' s word , the horses moved on , and deceased losing his balance , was thrown violently on the ground , and there lay insensible . During his fall he struck a pitchfork , which cut his shin . Witness had frequently told Mr . Young not to be in such a hurry in sending the hovses on , adding that if he continued to do so " her husband would be thrown off . Deceased was carried to a heap of oats in a corner of the field , and although it was only half-past three o ' clock when the accident occurred , he was left there uncared f or until eight o ' clock at night . Mr . Young left the ground within five
minutes after the accident occurred , and did not return . Fearing for the fate of her husband , witness offered a labourer , who had been at work in the field , a shilling if he would fetch a medical man , but he refused , on the ground that Mr . Young would discharge him if he discontinued his work . A doctor was sent for , who went to see Mr . Young , but refused to see the injured man . The parish surgeon was had next morning , but he would attend to him only on payment . The medicine she was to have for 4 s ., and instead of going for the bottle of medicine she gave the 4 s . to a carter to take her husband to Guy ' s Hospital , where he arrived on Tuesday , and died a few minutes after his arrival . In summing up , the Coroner said that medical assistance ought
to have been obtained earlier ; but that the circumstances connected with the charges of the medical man were out of the province of the jury . It would have been , much better if the unfortunate man could have been taken to an hospital , or otherwise properly provided for . After a stormy discussion among the jury , of half an hour ' s duration , the foreman announced that all the jury agreed upon a verdict of " Accidental Death , " that four of them were for reprimanding Mr . Young and the medical men for grievous neglect of duty , and inhumanity , and one for passing a censure upon the doctors only . The Coroner said he could only take cognizance of the verdict , which was that of" accidental death . " At the same time he had no
hesitation m saymg that if Mr . \ oung and the surgeon had paid more attention to the unfortunate deceased it would have been better . The proceedings then terminated . Frightful Accident in Kentish-town . —About four o ' clock on Thursday afternoon , the inhabitants of Grafton-place , Kentish-town , were horrified at beholding the scaffold , thirty feet high , in front of the new buildings , give way and fall to the ground with a dreadful crash , carrying with it the workmen that "were standing upon it . When the cloud of dust cleared
away men commenced removing the debris that covered the victims , and two men , named James Leonard , 16 , and Timothy Walsh , 18 , were found in an apparently dying state , the skull of the latter having been smashed . A third man had a most fortunate escape , having been caught and held by a projecting portion of the scaffold which did not give way . There he remained suspended until relieved by his fellow ' workmen . The wounded men were carried to the University College Hospital , where they now lie under the skilful treatment of Dr . Qnain ; but poor Walsh ' s case is hopeless .
Extraordinary Imposture. Marvel Is Busy ...
EXTRAORDINARY IMPOSTURE . Marvel is busy with an " extraordinary narrative , " which bears more resemblance to a story from the depth of some French department than to the less exciting anecdotes of an English county . Near Ipswich , it seems , there is a village called Shottisham , and in this there lives a family named Squirrel ! . One of the Squirrells—Elizabeth—has turned out a progidy . At school , says the local journalist , she showed great " natural ability , " and remarkable aptitude for study . At the age of 12 , in June , 1850 , she went home in consequence of illness , caused
by overwork at school . She had best medical advice , but grew worse , and at length lock-jaw set in . Here begins the miracle . She continued to live by suction for some time . In Midsummer , 1851 , she recovered from lock-jaw , but remained deaf and blind ; yet in this state she continued . to live by suction alone . And now her fame began to spread—for numbers had visited her ; and her talk and her writings were reported to be so eloquent and so touching , especially on religious subjects , that she was regarded as little less than one inspired . The marvel increased . For the last three months she was said to have lived without
food . In this state she declared she had seen a vision of angels , one of whom had consented to become her constant guardian and that she was the especial object of God ' s favour ; as heavenly music ( sounding very much like the ringing of glass ) testified , for it was swept by the wing of the invisible angel . The Ipswich Express tells us that the excitement among the good people of Suffolk has been very great : — " Medical men , clergymen , Dissenting ministers , carriage aristocracy , sriff . cart
and foot folk , alike shared in tfte intense desire to gaze on this extraordinary child , and to listen to the words which fell from her with as much weight as if she really had indisputable credentials that she was an oracle from Heaven . On being asked when and how this mystic scene would end , she replied , ' Oli ! in my triumphant entrance into glory . " As a matter of course , there were sceptics among the visitors who desired to test the miracle . A watch was organized and kept upon the girl . Nothing could be discovered , until the Webb ht
Rev . Mr . thoughe detected certain indications anything but miraculous , implying that Elizabeth Squirrell did not differ from other mortals in her subjection to physical laws Scrutiny was made , more searching than fastidious , and some evidence was thus attained ; and the philosophers of the county are as pertinacious in their inquiries as Laputans . The report of the watchers has made its appearance . They didnot see food or drmk administered , but this watch was not so strict but that she might easily - receive . The watchers are convinced that the whole affair is an imposition .
