CORNS AND BUNIONS . PAUL'S EVERY MAN'S FRIEND . Patronised by the Royal Family , Nobility , iia . PAUL'S EVERY MAN'S FRIEND is a sure and speedy cure for those severe annoyances without the least pain or inconvenience . Unlike all other remedies for Corns , its operation is such as to render the cutting of Corns altogether unnecessary ( indeed , we may say , that the practice of cutting Corns is at all times highly dangerous , and has been frequently attended with lamentable consequences , besides its liability to increase their growth ) . It adheres with the most gentle pressure , producing an instant and delightful relief from torture ; and , with perseverance in its application , entirely eradicates the most inverate Corns and Bunions .

CORN EXCHANGE , Jolt 20 . The supply of wheat from Essex , Kent , and Suffolk this morning was much larger than wc have received for some months past , and before any progress could he made with the sale , a reduction of 5 s per or . was submitted to , at which decline the whole was pretty well cleared .

Provincial Markets. Wakefield Cokn Maeke...
PROVINCIAL MARKETS . Wakefield Cokn Maeket . —We have a good supply of wheat and moderate of other grain . The trade is extremely dull , and a limited business done in best samples of wheat , at a decline of Is to 2 s per qr . ; common qualities unsaleable , unless at a further reduction . Beans sell freely at Is advance . Oats are * rd per stone , and shelling ( id to Is per load cheaper . Malt firm . The growing crops liive improved very much the last week , and with fine weather , harvest will commence in this neighbourhood in a fortnight . Manchester Coiw Mabket . —But little change has occurred in the state of the trade since our last report , tho demand for flour having been almost wholly confined to foreign , in which a steady business was passing at the previous currency . The inquiry for sack Hour wasverv
limited , but the supplies of choice fresh quality continuing equally so , such descriptions have found buyers at prices varying Utile from those obtainable last m-irket day . Oats and oatmeal have met a moderatesale . Without material change in prices . At our market this morning wheat met an exceedingly slow sale , aud we must note a further reduction in value of 2 d to 3 d per 70 lbs . In barrel flour a fair amount of business occurred at the rates of this day se ' nnight ; and , although the demand for British manufacture was trivial , the paucity of prime fresh parcels caused holders to adhere firmly to former rates . With a very moderate inquiry for oats , this article declined Id per 43 lbs . In oatmeal no change was observable , choice cuts continuing in steady , though not extensive , request for consumption .
Liverpool Cons Market . —There has been a fair arrival of oats from Ireland within the past week , but of other articles of the grain-trade thence and coat twisc the quantities are limited . From abroad , however , we have again to report a good supply of flour , upwards of 33 , 000 barrels being repeated from the United States , and -3200 barrels from Canada . The other imports of foreign produce are not of any consequence . Since Tuesday last we have had partial rains , but the weather on the whole has not been unfavourable to the growing crops . Cutting ot wheat , oats , and barley has commenced in the southern districts of this country , and a few days of settled weather would make it general in the midland counties . The demand on this port during the past week has been chiefly on barrel flour , for which we have had an extensive ' sale at the full prices quoted on Tuesday . For wheat we have had a fair local and country vend , but holders have shown a willingness to meet the buyers and no change of value can be quoted . No material alteration has occurred in the value of oats and oatmeal , and prices remain as recently { quoted . Rather a better demand for Indian corn has sprung up , but without helping the lately depressed rates . In barley , beans , and peas verv little business has been done .
Hull Cons Mahket . —Since our last wo have had vcry favourable weather upon the whole for the growing crops . The corn trade is still without animation ; there is a good deal of inquiry for wheat , but the high prices ' asked by holders , who are veiy firm , tends to prevent business . American flour is interfering with our millers' trade At to-day ' s market we had a good supply of wheat from tho farmers , but chiefly of low quality ; we quoted l"ood wheat Is to 2 s per quarter lower than last week while inferior sorts were almost unsaleable . Free foreign owing to some needy sellers pressing their stocks upon the marker . mustbenotedVs below late rates . Thesuppl yof Sprin " corn was short , and we note no alteration in prices We hear many complaints of the bean crop . Linseed and rapeseed continue without material alteration . Linseed cakes held firm }} : So rape cakes on the market . The season for bones being over , the late arrivals have gone to the yard . Guano without demand .
Birmingham Cohn Exchange . —During the present week there has been little doing in wheat , owing to the combined influence ef fine weather and the julness in London and Liverpool , but holders of English were not disposed to take much less money . Ko change in the value of other descriptions of grain . Richmond ( YoRKsuinE ) ( John Market . —We onl y had a thin supply of grain in our market to-day . —Wheat sold from 5 s to 8 s 3 d ; oats , 3 s to 4 s ; barley , 4 s to 4 s 3 d ; beans , 4 s Wc ! to 5 s 3 d per bushel .

STATE OF THADE . Leeds- —There has been very little business done at the Cloth Halls , either on Saturday or Tuesday , in cloths of good quality , hut in low priced tweeds , fancy chiakings , and low quality cloths , there has been a full average amount of business done ; prices are without alteration , and the stocks are in very moderate compass . There have been a good many buyers in the market this week . aud in consequence business has been much brisker in the warehouse than for some time past . Manchester . —We are progressing , though very slowlv , for the better in our cloth market , and all parties scam to think that wc are on the eve of prosperous times . With cheap food , of which there is now but little doubt , for the next twelve months , the thing appears certain . Spinners quit their produce with great faciUty , and for low numbers at improving rates , Bradfobd . —Wool . —The business doing Is still limited , and as the prices in the country have not been such as will meet the rates current here , and it is more than probable the supply in the market will not he so ample as at
State Of Thade. Leeds-—There Has Been Ve...
present . Yarns . —There is an average business doing in general numbers of weft yarns , but we do not learn of any improvement in prices . Pieces . —The buyers , both for home trade and export , are extending their purchases , and a fair business has been done . ' Huddeksfield . —The improvement which we had to mention last week , has again been apparent , and a fair amount of business has been done . There has also been more doing in the warehouses during the week than for some time past , - . ; ' ; - : > ; ,.-Halifax . —Without being able to report miich increase in the piece and yarn trade here , there is evidently a bettcrfeeling , more lookers on , and a notion that we are on the eve of a more active business . There is a slightly improved demand for long , wool , and prices , which had been rather inclined to fall , have made a stand , Rochdale Funnel Mabket . —The flannel market has undergone little change since last week . In the wool market business is flat , and prices rather inclined downward .
Nottingham . —We have no alteration to report . The market is quiet Though little is doing , yet there is cherished a strong expectation of a fair Autumn trade . Prices are as last week . Leicester . —There has been a fair demand this week for useful goods , and it seems very likely to continue . Railway demand for labour , and the low wages of wrought-hose , have diminished labour in that department ; and it seems probable that a scarcity of goods of that kind in the most useful sorts will be experienced when the season fully opens , as there are but small stocks on hand . Wools and yarns remain without alteration . Glasgow . —The market for cotton goods still continues flat , and prices low . There is , however a good amount of business in doing some descriptions , and , we think , some slight indications of returning activity- Our market for cotton yarn exhibits no new feature this week ; a moderate business , has been done at previous rates . Prices of American ' flour continue to droop , but are not
soirregular as at last market . A considerable retail trade is doing , as wheat is neglected , and barrel flour used instead . The States fl ur . continues to be liked . Ashes arc again firmer , and short stocks , on the other side , are expected to raise prices ere long . Lard keeps firm , and brings our quotations regularly . There are no shipments of cheese arriving : the article would meet ready sale . There is more demand for Canadian butter at a better price , as Irish is rising . Pens without change Sweet barrel flour , Canadian , 26 s 6 d to 27 s per ban-el ; sour ditto , 26 s Gd nett per barrel ; sweet barrel flour , States , duty paid , 27 s nett per barrel ; sour ditto , 27 s nett per barrel ; 1 st Montreal Pots , 22 s 6 d to 23 s per cwt ; 1 st Montreal Pearls , 23 s 6 d per cwt ; lard , common , 44 s per cwt ; lard , refined , 47 s per cwt ; butter , Canadian , 60 s per cwt ; cheese , States , worth 58 s per cwt ; peas , 22 s per holl .

Uavingbcen in theNaval School , Deptford , and just arrived at home for the vacation , lis visited Caswell Bay two miles below the Mumbles , on the above day , accompanied by a young friend . After passing a ' portion of the morning anT > ne the rocks , lit was proposed they ^ should jimuse themselves by firing with pistols at a target . While searching for a target , M'Meckan placed the pistol , loaded with small shot , in the side pocket of hf » jacket . In walking over the rocks , the pistol was , by some means , jerked out of the pocket . On falling ,
it instantly exploded , the whole of the contents lodging in his leg , a little above the ankle . Although , from the character of the wound the pain must have been most acute and excruciating , he bore it with most remarkable fortitude , piving his friend directions as to procuring assistance , < tc . Some persons who were at hand immediately cut open the boot , bound the wound , and conveyed the sufferer to an adjoining house , his friend having hastened forsurcical assistance to the Mumbles , Fortunatel y , Dr . Herapath , of Bristol , who happened to be near the spot , was informed of tire occurrence , extracted the shoS , and dressed the wound . The patient was conveyed home that evening , and is geing on favourably . — Cambrian ,

Being recommended by Thomas Sharpe , who had been a sufferer , to try a 4 s Gd pot of " Aherneth ;' s Pile Ointment , and a 2 s !) d packet of * Abernclhyn Pile Powders , " she became per . fectly well , aud is now quite free from any particle of the complaint , The said Thomas Sharpe had been a martyr to the Piles , and has not had a return since he used the Ointment .

Dreadful Fires. Fire Ann Loss. Of Life.—...
DREADFUL FIRES . Fire Ann Loss . of Life . —On Sunday morning between three and four o ' clock , a fire broke out m the Commercial Coffee-house , 76 , Newgate-street , a spacious building , three stories in height , and exte nding some distance down Bath-streefc . The discovery " was made by a commercial clerk sleeping in the hou ' so , who was awoke by the smoke . Having aroused his wife , he made for the sta irs , but the smoke and sparks ascending , ma de it impossible to escape by the regular way . He therefore went to the window , _ and shouted "Fire , " which brought several police-constables to the front of the premises . The officers and Mr . ! Armer succeeded in awakening the whole of the occupant !" , who ran to the windows and im-.-
plored for assistance . The peoplecalled to tho unfortunate inmates to remain until the escapes arrived . Whilst they were thus waiting in suspense the flames enteral the apartment occupied by Mr . Albert Cockson , a clerk to Mr . Charles Harratt , of Upper Thames-street . The poor fellow stood as long as he was able , until his legs and arms were severely burnt , when , as » laBt resource , he jumped from the window , and was picked up in a state of insersibility . and forthwith removed to St . Bartholomew ' s Hosnital . Immediately afterwards the landlord of the house , Mr . Fenn , was perceived crawling from one of the windows on to the wooden shoring , that extended across Bath-street . Fortunately he succeeded , with the aid of the police , in making his cscane in safety , By this period the greater part of the shop and staircase were in one broad sheet of flame , and it was feared that before the escapes had time to reach the scene , the fire
would have extended to the room , in which Mr . and Mrs . Armer were . The former could be distinctly heard from the street , entreating his wife to ' make up her mind for the worst , when one of . the . escapes belonging to the Royal Society for the protection of Life from Fire arrived ^ and was instantly placed in front of the burning premises , and with the aid of the conductor , the two parties were rescued . But five minutes longer delay , and they must have perished . Several ' engines soon arrived , and at six o ' clock the fire was conquered . The greater portion of the premises and the whole of the furniture are consumed , and the property of Mr . M'Kenzie , fringe and lace dealer , seriously damaged by fire , water , and removal . The unfortunate man , Cockson . notwithstanding everything was doneTfdr him that humanity or surgical skill could sugeest in the . hospital , never rallied , but died at nine o clock tho same morning . The origin of the calamity cannot at present be ascertained . Insured in the Sun Office .
Tiie Inquest. Yesterday Afternoon, At Ha...
TIIE INQUEST . Yesterday afternoon , at half . past four o ' clock , an in . vesication took place before . Mr . Joseph Payne , deputy , coroner for the city of London and th « horouirh of Southwark , at the Board . room in St . Bartholomew's Hospital , touching the death of Alfred Fletcher Cookson , who lost his life through falling from the third floor window of the house in the occupation of Mr , Fenn , coffee-house , keeper , in Newgate-street , City , during the fire on Sunday morning last . The tdd . v of the dece & eed appeared considerably burned in the lower extremities , and the whole of the frame was much shattered from the fall .
The first witness . called was David Dunn , police constable 240 . of the City force . He deposed that ahout a quarter-past three o ' clock on Sunday morning last , he observed smoke in '< he cellar of Mr . Fenn ' s premises , at the corner of Bath-street , Newgate-street . City . He immediately gave the necessary alarm to the inmates , and the first escape of the Royal Society for the Protection of Life from Fire , from Favrinj-don-street , came up Flame" : then appeared in the cellar , - but no where else ahout the buildinjr . Witness then perceived a man gi > t out of the window in Bath-street . He fell on his
face . Upon going to his assistance he was found to be much injured , and was eventually conveyed on a shutter to St . Bartholomew ' s Hospital : Immediately afterwards witness saw several persons in front ef the house in Newgate-street , who made their appearance at the windows . The fire-escape rendered valuable assistance to the inmates , a man and a woman being saved by it One man made his escape hy the cross beams from one side of the hous- s in Bath-street to the other . This man made his escape from one of the windows of the house discovered to ha on fire .
James Knight , waiter , and Ann Roberts , chambermaid to Mr Fenn , deposed to the fact of their being no sign of fire on the premises at twelve o ' clock ; and Michael Henry Stone , waiter at the coffee-house , said that he went down to the cellar just before twelve o ' clock , for the purpose of drawing a pint of ale . At that time be was quite sure there was not the least sign of any fire , nor was there any loose straw or chips about the place Ho knew nothing of the origin of th" fire . Mr . James Braidwood , Superintendent of the London . Fire-engine Establishment , stated ' that he was at the fire seon after the " call" was received in Watling-street at the station . The fire when he arrived there was burn , ing in the cellar , and had caught the staircase . He had since examined the premises . No doubt the fire originated in the cellar . Thomas Loder . engineer at the brigade , corroborated Mr . Brnid wood's opinion as to the fire having originated in the cellar .
Mr . Samuel James Remnant , one of the medicnl officers of St . Bartholomew ' s Hospitsl , stated that the deceased , when brought into the establishment , was much injured internally , and very considerably burned . Notwithstanding the most assiduous attention was paid to his case , he died at nine o ' clock the same morning , from the effects of the injuries he had received . Mr . William Fenn , proprietor of the premises , said that he was insured in the Union Fire-office for £ 800 . He could net give the slightest information as " to the cause of ( he fire . This being the whole of the evidence , The deputy-coroner summed up , and shortly afterwards the jury returned the following cs their unanimous verdict : ' — " Accidentally burned ; but how the fire originated there was no evidence to show . "
Aiarmisg Fires. — On Sunday Night, Short...
AiARMiSG Fires . — On Sunday night , shortly before ten o clock , an alarming fire was discovered burning ; upon the premises bhlonslns to Mr . B , L . Bouchicv , a hop . com , and malt dealer , carrying on husiness at No . 12 . Crescent , Ilaciiney road , adjoining the Rising Sun wine vaults , and immediatelyfacing the refuge for the female destitute , The flames oriRinated from some cause tliat could not be ascertained in the basement floor , at the rear of the premises . Owing to the inflammable nature of the stock in trade , the flames travelled with amazing swiftneHS , and in the course of a few minutes the whole of the back portion of the building was blazing away with such fury as to threaten with destruction the adjoining buildings . The eneines of the London Brigade from Jefiery-square , Watling-street , and Whitecross-treet stations promptly attended : as did also that of the West of England Insurance
Company . An abundance of water hoine obtained , the engines were set to work , bnt notwithstanding that the firemen exerted themselves to the utmost , they wereunablejto get the flames subdued before hal fpast eleven o ' clock , and not until a very considerable deal of damage had been done . Unfortunately , Mr . Bouchier was uninsured . Whilst the firemen were busily engaged at the above fire , information was received that another outbreak had taken place in the nciuhbourhaodof Saffron-hill . The engines of the Brigade , and an escape of the rioyal Society , for the protection of life from tire , quickly attended . The firemen then found that , from some accident , a bed , the bedding , and furniture of Mr . P . Convey , of 10 , Saffron-street , was on fire . With the aid of plenty of water , the firemen from Farringdon-street , and the inmates , succeeded in subduing the fire . A boy sleeping in the bed , we are informed , had a very narrow escape of being burnt to death .
Frightful and Serious Accidents . — -On Tuesday evening , between the hours of five and six o ' clock , an accident of a very serious description took place at the Chocolate and Mustard Manufactory of Messrs . Taylor , brothers , No . 211 . Brick Lano / Spitalfields . It appeared that William Paine , a youth of eighteen years of age , engaged in what is called the mustard cellar , gpt into the chocolate department , and into the cutting room . While there , he took up a cake of the prepared chocolate , and was about to place it under the " cutters , '' when a part of the machinery , with which he was surrounded , caught hold of his smock frock on the left side , and instantly whirled him into the most dangerous part of the works . The poor fellow ' s crie * brought several af the workmen to
his assistance , and the engine was promptly stopped ; but so dangerous was the position in which he had heen placed , that his right-arm . was shattered in a very shocking manlier . When released from the machinery , he was removed without loss ot timo to the London Hospital , and the case being one of so serious a character , Messrs . lake and Curling , surgeons of tho institution , were instantly sent for . The latter gentleman was promptly in attendance , and on examining the arm of the youth he found it in so shattered a state that he considered immediate amputation of the limb absolutely necessary . The operation was performed by Mr . Curling in the presence of several of thr pupils of the institution , and the unfortunate youth bore it with amazing fortitude . Immediately after the above youth was revolved Into the institution , a poor man named Thomas Gurling , aged
fifty-three , was also received there , lie having been brought from the distillery of Messrs . Smith , in Whitochapol , where he had met with a serious injury , Gurling , who is a copper smith , in the service of the Messrs- Pontifex . of Shoe Lane , had it appeared been engaged in the distillery of the Messrs . Smith in cutting down a copper still , which was considered useless , and for want of proper caution , as he himself admits , a section of the copper , weighing about five cwt ., fell , and the edge coming on hisl .-ft leg , smashed it m a frightful manner . In this case amputation was also considered necessary , and Mr . Curling as-Fisted by Mr . Lake , performed the operation in an admirable manner , and removed the limb from about six inches below the knee , j '„ fch operationa were pevtormed ^ n less than twenty minutes , and the limbs being dressed , both patients were goin » - on favourably . - *> *>

n * M-irninnn \ TTri T- ^ -rt ... - ... _ POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION . i . _ - . ¦ Dr . Ryan , the , professor of Chemistry has been lecturing on the causes of hot and cold summers . The learned Doctor having shown that in" the atmosphere | there are always two currents of air passing in opposite directions and at different altitudes , the upper or heated stratum passing from the equator to the poles , and the lower or cold air from the poles to the equator , thus regulating the distribution of temperature over the earth , proceeded to prove that in the mighty ocean . itself , we have precisely the same important conditions present . It is well known that heated matter expands and becomes lighter , while matter under the influence of cold contracts and becomes heavier . The water on the surface of the ocean becomes cooled down by two causes , first by the
abstraction of heat owing to the cold ' currents of air passing over itssurface , and secondly , at some seasons by the floating ice passing from the northward . Now , the cooled water being rendered denser , sinks , and forces to the service other portions of warmer water , which again communicates heat to the air passing over it . . The cool water spreads itself at the bottom of the sea , and flows towards the equator , producing compensating currents in opposite directions ; thus , the ocean tends to regulate the temperature of the earth , moderating the heat of the tori id and the cold of the fri gid zones . Every seaman is aware that the Gulf stream iaan example of theae compensating currents , and Dr . Ryan stated that he had met many naval officers who had ascertained the possibility of
steering through the Gulf stream merel y by athenno meter dipped in the water . Dr . Ryan proceeded , in the next place , to explain certain meteorological conditions which have not been before noticed . Thus , it was possible , Tate in the winter , or very early in the spring , to prognosticate the heat or coldness of the succeeding summer , by ascertaining the comparative amount of new ice formed in the northern latitudes , even as low down as Russia and Sweden . It seems that the coldness or wetness of our summers is influenced by the quantity of new ice which , during the heat of that season , is continually liberated from the Northern waters , and as it floats towards the equator with the supernatant current , cools down the waters
of the ocean as well as the wind passing ; orer . its suriace , and thereby condenses the atmospheric moisture , producing rain , and otherwise reduces the temperature of the atmosphere throughout many of the Europcan latitudes . Dr . Ryan is confirmed in his opinion by the fact that all the hot summers here ,, for many years ; have been preceded by winters , in- which scarcely any new ice was formed in the high northern latitudes . This was the case last winter , and also in the winter preceding the summer of 1842 . W hile , on the contrary , cold and damp summers have always succeeded winters giving much new ice . If this be true , it is a discovery of immense importance to the agriculturist , enabling lament an early period ^ to take those precautions necessary to his welfare .

Ened To Have Serious Conseouences Lately...
ened to have serious conseouences lately occurred on board an Austrian steam-boat in the Black Sea . A M . Hubsehde Grossthal , one of the passengers , having indiscreetly cast his eyes through the window of a cabin in which was Vedhl Pasha , Governor of Belgrade , with his family , the Pasha rushed out infuriate , and ordered his slaves to hew the young man in pieces and throw him into the sea ; the slaves had drawn their sabres to perform this order .
when the captain came to the Pasha and told him that he was not master on board an Austrian vessel , and that if a hair of the young rami ' s head was touched , the Pasha himself should be killed and his corpse be the first thrown overboard . This firm conduct produced a tranquillising effect on the mind of the Pasha , and the more so aa several of the sailors had armed themselves . The Turks delivered up their weapons , and M . Hubseb was enjoined to keep at a distance from the women ' s cabin during the rest of the voyage .
The Recent Seduction Case is Dublin * . —The following particulars relative to tho distressing affair which we copied , under the above head , from a Liverpooljournalafewdays since , have not as yet met the public eye . The young lady on whom the foul and demon-like conspiracy succeeded , is the some years . He held an important office in Dublin , daughter of arespectable gentleman who has been dead but died without leaving any property to his wife and only child , the unhappy young creature in question . She had , however received a very superior education and necessity obliged her to turn her talents and accomplishments into a different channel from that originally intended . She had some of the mo > t lucrative and respectable tuitions in Dublin , which
enabled herself and her widowed mother to live in affluence , not in a fashionable , but nevertheless'in a respectable locality . There was a mistake in the statement made regarding the wretched female who wa < the means of introducing her to the villain who perpetrated her ruin . It was said that the female accomplice opened an academy for the instruction of young ladies in music and singing . The following is the fact;—she took a house opposite that occupied by the young My and her mother , and gave bet name as Mrs . Jackson , saying her husband was a wealthy and affluent iron merchant , residing in Liverpool , and that she came over to this country for change of air , and with the few of travelling in Ireland . She . professed the strongest regard for the
young lady and her mother , and declared that their society would be a source of much enjoyment to her , as she was passionately fond of music and singing , and offered in return , to instruct the girl in two branches of landscape painting , the art of which , she alleged to possess in a high degree , and which was a secret to all but herself . A fortnight after the acquaintance commenced she invited the young lady to her house , when she was introduced to her destroyer . The name be gave was Mr . Houston , Jackson said he was a particular friend of her husband ' s , and a man of large property , and that it would he very desirable if she could bring about a match between them , as she had reason to know that Houston liked the young lady very much . The bait took , and the poor giddy girl was subsequently carried off by the vile wretches who had laid the plan for her destruction . It is believed that the seducer Is a person
connected with a noble family , but at present tho real facts connected with him area mystery . The police , however , are on the trail , and it is hoped that a few days w-111 bring to light the names 01 both the guilty parties . It was , on enquiry , ascertained that this Mrs . Jackson is one of the most abandoned ( but at the same timeaccompiished ) profligates in the United Kingdom , and that she had been engaged in similar transactions in Edinburgh , Glasgow , London , and LiverpooJ ; and that she is well known to the police authorities of those cities The , unfortunate young lady is only nineteen years of age , and highly accomplished . At present she is under the care of her afflicted mother , and it is supposed that her mind has not been all-right for some time past . We hope the names of the delinquents in this nefarious transaction will be discovered , and held up to public odium in the manner they deserve . —Dublin Freeman ,
A Brutal Rascal . —A lad named W . II . Fink , aged 12 years , was in company with two other boys named William and Robert Abell , on Saturday se ' n-MMi iN- a r fi iear the stalion . called the Flock Mill 1-ield , Gloucester . The boys were sitting down on the bank looking into the water , when the party accused , an old man named Janjes Ward , was mowing on the other side of the field . Ward called out to the youths , and ordered them to qo away . William Abell said , " What , must we not look in the water then , Mr . Ward ! " The old man replied , "If you don't go home , I'll bung youreyes up . " On hearing this the boy said , "But if we go by you , you willbit us . " Ward ' s rejoinder to this expression of fear was , "Goone way or the other , or I'll mow vour legs off . " William Abell then said , " Come along Bob , then , we will go- " The three boys got up and ran towards the part of the field where Ward was , it
being the direct road i-o their home . The two Abells were first , and the unfortunate boy , Fink , was behind . As he passed the old m . in , he made a cut at the poor boy with the scythe which beheld in his hand , exclaiming , " There , then ; take that . " The two Abells looked round at the moment , and both saw him strike tho blow , Fink ran a few yards and then fell down from exhaustion , crying , " I am cut " Assistance was procured , and the child removed to the Inhrniary , where , on examination , he was found to nave . received a severe cut on the right side of the back , one ol the kidneys being injured so as to almost preclude the hope of recovery . The deposition of the wounded boy was taken at the Infirmary , and the prisoner was examined at the Shire Hall , when the depositions of the other boys were taken . On leaving the hall in the custody of the police , the prisoner was saluted with the yells and groans of a great crowd which had assembledchiefly ot women .
