      SEWCASH . E-FCON-TTXB . Stogical Operations with Etuer . —Two more instance * of thv successful application of ether in surgical case * have occurred at the Infirmary » Newcastle . The first was on Monday , when a man tamed Thomas Hunter , foreman at Messrs . »***" and Crawshav ' s Works . South sho « . 5 avi nB u ^ m « r lcftliand and arm crashed by . ; the ^ J" »»" Ming upon it , was taken to the Infirmary to undergo amputation . The ether was « PPl ** " *« fare minutes th « pa tient became inscnsiMe . « beohe arm was taken off Wow the elbow without the sufsecond

      ferer feeling the slightest pain . The «* was that of a lad employed in Eisw . ck : Pit , aged twelve years , who had b-. en ran over onWednesday by three wacons loaded with coal . The lad had a simple fracture on the left thigh , and a coraoound fracture on ihe right leg . 'Ihi right leg having to be amputated , the ether was applied , and the operation performed in * uch a manner that the lad was unconscious that his leg had been taken off . On commencing to inhale the ether , the boy coughed for a short time , but iu the course of two minutes afterwards he became insensible . After the operation , his pulse beinsj weak with stentorous breathing , aromatic spirits of ammonia were applied , and in a short time he was restored to consciousness .

      T 0 SKS 1 I 1 BB . Diswess is Bradford . —It will give an idsa of the amount of distress at present prevailing in Bradford , to state that fir the present week , Bairstow , the relieving officer for the township of Bradford , has on his books the names of 1 , 070 families receiving relief , which , oa an averaee of five persons to a family , give * a total of 5 , 350 persons . The other relieving officers are said to be equally pressed by the claims of the destitute .

      UASCBZSTER . The Metropolis of Millocrats . —To the most cursory observer , Manchester presents a very altered appearance . Shnals of beggars , in every direction , meet the eye , chiefly Irish , bat with a very large admixture of English . Whole families of these wretched outcasts perambulate the streets from morning till night , and enter the shops and warehouses to ask alms . Others take up a position on the staircases leading to offices and places of business , and remain there the whole day importuning every person going in or coming out . It is no unueiiaf thing to see a family of six or eight persons ( the wife loaded Irish fashion , with one child in the arms

      and another on the back . ) crowded on the large square entrance steps to such places , whilst another family has taken possession of tbe landing place above , as if to prevent monopoly .. The entrances to the Exchange , to the Arcade , to the rooms of the League , . to the Athencum , and to tho club houses , are taken possession of daily by the people , and the condition of these poor creatures is such , that nobody , ¦ whether civil officer or private citizen , seems to hare heart enough—or rather want of heart enough —to interfere with them . In front of the eating houses , at noon , again , numbers of beggars assemble , and besiege the departing euest after he has relieved his own wants and is pocketing the change .

      DURHAM . Fall of the Ancient Moat Tower . —A portion of the outer wall of the old round tower , which stood at the end of what was formerly the Castle Moat , at tbe . back of Queen-street , has fallen upon the roof of an opposite house , the upper portion of which is occupied by one of the University servants named Norton . At tbe time of the accident , Norton and his wif : weie seated at their tea , but most providentially , although the roof was completely crushed , and the room iu which they were half filled with rubbish , the man escaped without injury , aud the Female with only a few trifling bruises . Some fowls which happened to be in the room were killed .

      STAFFORDSHIRE . Ax Explosion of IItdrogks has taken place in a pit called Walbuts Colliery , at Bilston . It appears that a man named Collier , with another man , incautiously took a lighted candle into the working , when a quantity of gas exploded , burning Collier in a dreadful manner . His companion escaped with but a alight injury .

      XORFOLK . The Laubug Seaso . v has commenced in the eastern counties . It is feared that there will be a scarcity of food for the flocks as tbe spring advances . The turnips were affected by the severe ftvsts that occurred when there was no snow on the ground to protect them ; and there are now complaints amongst the farmers , more particularly in Norfolk , that the crop is ratting . Since the thaw , the state of the young wheats has excited much attention ; but it is the opinion of the best practical men in that district that they have not beea seriously injured by the severe winter .

      SUFFOLK . The High WrsDS have done ^ considerable damage in Ipswich . _ Amongst other mischief , it destroyed a range of brick building used by Messrs . Catt and Quadling , as a railway carriage factory . The structure in question was 130 feet long by 30 feet wide , and at the time of the catastrophe there were fifteen men inside at work . Five of the carriage * were completed , and three others in a very forward state . About a dozen tiles of the top row of the roof on tbe windward side being carried away , and in a few minutes after the wind having gained admission into the building , tore away the skylights on the opposite

      side and blew them into a field , the roof itself being forced off almost at tbe same moment . The workmen , being alarmed , thought of making their escape , but , bsfore they had time to do so , both walls , the full length of the building , crae down with a tremendous crash , smashing the windows , steps , and springs of the carriages . The body of one was completely forced away from the frame , and others were more or less damaged . The men crouched under the vehicles , and , with two exceptions , escaped unhurt ; one man was . seriously injured by a brick striking him on the back of the neck ; the other was but slightly wounded . The total loss is estimated at several hundred pounds .

      GLOUCESTERSHIRE . THB PHESBRVATIOXOrDEERPRODCCUVKOF CuIHE . ' —At the half-yearly crown audit , recently he'd at Speech house , the subject of the preservation of the deer iu the forest of Dean was discussed , and a strong feeling was generally expressed that the deer preserves were a nursery for crime , encouraging the growth of an idle and disorderly population , producing heartburnings , strife , and bloodshed , greatly ini r : osing the burdens of the pour and county rates , and grievously interfiling with the proper working of the mines and colliers in the Forest . These sentiments were embodied in an address , which has been presented to Sir M . H . Crawley Boevey , who is a candidate for the ¦ vacant office of Verderer in succession to his deceased father , and the parties signified

      that they could not vote for the appointment of any gentlemen who is favourable to the continuation of . the present system of . preserving deer in the forest . In reply to this document , Sir M . II . C . Boevey says—"( laving now for some years acted as a magistrate in the immediate neighbourhood of the Forest , I can quite understand and sympathise with them in thinking that the existence of a large herd of deer in so populous a district is calculated ( as in other districts similarly circumstanced ) t . demoralise the lower orders of the people ; but this I attribute mainly ( as I have reason to think ) to the great facility and impunity afforded to the poacher by those of a higher order , and who should know better , of selling the spoil with pecuniary advantage . The evil is very great , and much to be deplored . "

      Supposed Murdeb at Dcmblrto . v . —Last week while a labourer , in the employ of Mr . Crump , of Dumbleton , was digging in a field , adjoining the Winchcomb Road , he found the skeleton of a male person . There were fragments of apparel amongst the soil , plainly indicating that he had been buried with his clothes on . The leg bones were crossed , and the skull was much lower in the soil than the other parts of the remains . The discovery has created great interest in the neighbourhood , especially from its calling ts mind the following mysterious circumstance , which occurred in the year 1836 . In the month of August in that year , a labourer , while on his way to work , heard a horse neighing in a coppice , distant about a mile from the place where the remains were dug up , and

      on entering it he found a horse tied to a tree by the bridle , with a saddle on his back ; the animal was quite exhausted , leading to the supposition that he bad been left in that position for several days . Every publicity was given to the fact , yet no one claimed the horse , which was subsequently sold for £ 12 . It was at that time believed that the owner of the horse was a cattle dealer on his way to Tewkesbury , and that he bad been robbed and murdered , after he had left a public house in the vicinity , two persons having secuhimleavethe house with the identical horse inlhis possession . Suspicion pointed to two individuals who

      were strongly suspected , and that suspicion has , in the meantime , almost amounted to proof from the feet of one of the parties having been heard to say since . "When I kill a man again , I will have half the money ; " and the other , shortly after the horse was found , had in his possession a larfce sum of money , when , just previously to the occurrence , he ¦ was about to become chargeable to the parish . Many other circumstances have transpired of an equally suspicious nature ; and tbe case is , we understand , to undergo a searching inquiry before the Coroner . The identical horse and saddle and bridle are still at Evesham , in Worcestershire .

      HAILESWOOD . Desperate Affray . —As constable John Banning , one of the rural police , stationed at Winchcombe , near Cheltenham , was on duty at Uaileswood , on Sunday morning , the 2 lst inst ., about five o ' clock , he met with a man in a field carrying , a bundle . Upon questioning him what the bundle contained , theman , without speaking a word , struck the policeman a Ti ^ t Um en tlie side of the ; head with a stiik towhicheight bullets wcreattached bv astrong cord . From such a formidable w eapon the blow was severe ; the constable was stunned for a moment

      Sewcash.E-Fcon-Ttxb. Stogical Operations...

      but , having * walking-stick in his hand , he knocked the man down , who immediately got up again , and , closing with theoffioer j cut him ver y much in the face with a but cher ' s knife , and stabbed several times at his neck . Both were strong men , hot the constable eventually overpowered his antagonist , bidding him desist and surrender himself ; and saying at the same time , to frighten the man , " 1 have fire-arms in my pocket , and will shoot you if you continue to struggle . " Tho prisoner , in a most determined manner , said to him , " Shoot and be d—d ; I'll fight whilst life is left . " The conflict then continued for some time longer , when the prisoner cut the policeman across the back of the right hand , dividing tendons , and depriving him of the use of his

      staffhand . In the course ot the struggle , which lasted nearly two hours , a quantity of blood was lost on each side , and they both lay in their gore , exhausted on the ground for some time . The policeman , after a little time , roused himself , and commenced shouting " Murder , " as he felt himself getting weak from the loss of blood ; the prisoner all this time was lying unable to move on the ground . A carter , who lived at a farm-house more than a quarter of a mile away , heard the shouts , and gave information to the police at Winchcombe , whither the constable and prisoner were removed in a cart , and their wounds immediately dressed by Dr . Newton , of that place . The prisoner was then recognised as being a most notorious character , named David Johns , a sweep , and

      a native of Staw-on-the-Wold , who had boen previously convicted of burglary at the Winter Assizes of 1 S 44 , and sentenced to two years' imprisonment . It was subsequently ; ascertained that the house of Mr . Trotman . of Winchcombe , had been burglariously entered by cutting the panel out of the door , and a quantity of property stolen therefrom ; all of which was found in the bundle which the prisoner Johns w as carrying . The prisoner ' s right arm has been broken in the dreadful conflict . The constable , we are happy to say , is considered out of danger , but very great fears are entertained that he will lose the use of his right hand , owing to tho sinews being divided ; the wounds in his neck and face are going on well .

      STAMFORD . " The Iscosvesiexce of a Red Face . —Mr . John Thraves , a respectable farmer , residing at Edmonthorpe Lodge , near Market Overton , appeared before the magistrates at the Town-ball , Stamford , on Saturday last , under the following aggravating circumstances : —About half-past three o ' clock in the afternoon of Tuesday week , being Candlemas Fair , Mr . Thraves , in company with Mr . Hack , of Clipsham , was standing in the High-street , giving directions to his son relative to some beast he had thit day purchased , when policeman Mitchell stepped up and asked Mr . Thraves his name and address . The three were surprised at the inquiry , but Mr . Thraves instantly furnished the desired information , and soon afterwards walked towards Ironmonger-street , when Mitchell followed them and asked Mr . Thraves his Christian name ; he , considering this second

      application a rude annoyance , refused to tell him . A few days afterwards , he was summoned to appear at the Town-hall as above-mentioned , to answer a charge of drunkenness . lie attended accordingly , and Mitc lell and two other officers gave evidence to the effect of his being intoxicated . On the other hand , it was sworn by Mr . Hack and his son , as well as the servant of Miss Hack , that such was entirely untrue . Upon cross-examination the policemen stated their conviction that the defendant must have been in a state of intoxication , not only from the circumstance of his jolting against bis two companions as ho walked down tht street , but also from his having a very red face . The magistrates had ocular demonstration that Mr . Thraves , even at that early period of the day , was b ' e-sed with a colour , a poi tion of which thousands in the smoky districts would be happy to possess ; and th ' 7 unhesitatingly dismissed the summons — Stamford Herald .

      BUCKIXOHlMSniRE . Axother Victim . —An inquest was held at North Marston on view of the body of Thomas Walker , aged eleven weeks : the deceased was another victim of that child-destroying narcotic , Godfrey ' s Cordial , which was incautiously administered by an ignorant mother to prevent its crying . Two tea spoonfuls of Godfrey ' s and a decoction of poppy heads were duly given to the unfortunate deceased , who became emaciated and ill , and on the previous morning was found dead by its mother ' s side . The evidence went to show that the parents had otherwise treated the deceased very kindly . Verdict , " Natural death . " The coroner begged of the mother ( who appeared much distressed ) if she had any more children never to give them Godfrey ' s , ' and urged her to warn her neighbours against its pernicious effects .

      HERTFORDSHIRE . Three Lives lost for Want of a Bridge . —Tbe coroner for this county has concluded an inquest at North Mims , upon the < bodies of Mary Lines , aged 23 ; George Lines , aged 18 months ; and Eliza Ellenham , aged 12 , who came by their deaths under the following circumstances : —It appeared from the evidence of George Lines , that the deceased , Mary Lines , wished to go and see her friends , who lived at Icledon , near Hitchen ; that his wife , and child , and servant , started from home , in a bene and chaise , for that purpose . To reach Icledon , it was necessary to pass a ferry . Upon passing the stream in the morning , it was not dangerous . On his return home , he arrived at the spot where the accident occurred , at about half-past six . It was quite dark , and being unaware

      of tbe flood which had taken place , he attempted to cross , and , before he had any suspicion of danger , the horse plunged into the deepest part of the river , and they were immediately swept away . The deceased , Ellenliam , became entangled in the harness , and was of course drowned with the horse . Witness then saw his wife , with the infant in her arms , snatched awsy by the impetuosity of the stream . He made every effort to save them , but he could not do so ; and it was with great difficulty he preserved himself . Two of the bodies were found next day , but his wife was not found before Wednesday last . Verdict , * ' Accidental death ; " but thejury expressed a wish that the surveyors of the highway , or parish authorities , would take immediate steps for constructing a bridge over the stream .

      carshalton . Three Persoss Buried Alive . —A few days ago an inquest was held before W . Carter , at Greyhound Inn , Carshalton , Surrey , touching the respective deaths of C . Cooper , aged 46 ; A . Cooper , aged 43 ; and C . Cooper , the younger , aged 6 ; who lost their lives under the most painful circumstances . T . Bishop said : I heard something had happened at the house of Mr . Cooper , in the Chalk-pit . On reaching the house , I entered the lift hand room , and saw several persons therein . The brick wall at the back , which had been built up against the chalk rock , had fallen with an immense body of earth into the bedroom . A search was instantly mad <> , when the hand of a human nerson was found protruding through the loose

      rubbish . The whole of the persons present set to work and removed the bricks , earth , & c , and then discovered the lifeless body of three persons . They were all lying on the bed by the side of each other , and covered with the clothes . The bedstead was broken to the ground by the violence and weight of the rubbish which had fallen upon it . They were removed into an adjoining room , and I have no doubt they were suffocated by the earth falling upon them while they were asleep during the previous night . Elizabeth Warnham , a widow , was next called , and stated : I reside in a cottage near the deceased person ' s residence , which is situated in Clowser ' s chalk pit . The deceased man was a labourer , and left home every morning to proceed to his work . The female

      was his wife , and she usually went from home daily to some employment ; the boy was their son . The cottage they occupied consisted ofthree rooms on the ground floor , and was formerly used as a stable by the owner of the ground . On the afternoon in question I heard a female exclaim , " Oh , my father , the house has fallen in- " 1 ran out and saw the daughter of the deceased man , who called me into the house , and on entering the bed room I found it half filledup with bricks and earth . The hand of the man was visible , and after considerable labour three lifeless bodies were found stiff and cold . I discovered that the upper part of the brick wall bad been forced in upon them . I have resided in the same house , and never apprehended any danger . The back part of the house was

      formerly a " rabbit warien , " and I am of opinion that the rabbits undermined the place ; but they have all been destroyed some years since by the proprietor of the property . The accident no doubt is solely attributable to the rapid thaw , arising from the recent heavy snow storms , which caused the ground U give way and force in the briek wall . Robert Allen , a relative , having identified the bodies , the coroner inquired if any persons weie present on the part of the proprietor of the chalk pit , when a gentleman stepped forward and said , the owner was not able to attend through severe illness , b » t anything the coroner or jury might suggest for the prevention of similar accidents would be most willingly and readily acceded to . Steps had already been taken , and where any defect presented itself , the same would be immediately

      rectified . Other corroborative evidence having been taken , the coroner summed up , and remarked at considerable length tm the melancholy nature of the investigation , directing the attention of the juryTO the evidence of the female Warnham , after which the room was cleared of strangers , and when the public were readmitted , the foreman said they had agreed to the following verdict : — " That the deceased persons , Charles Cooper , Alice Cooper , his wife , and Charles Cooper , the younger , were accidentally suffocated , by the falling of a quantity of earth , which forced in the wall of a certain dwelling house , as they lay asleep in bed . " The melancholy catastrophe has caused great excitement in tbe village , where the deceased persons were well known for their industry and sober conduct .

      rest . Incendiarism . —On Sunday evening last , between seven and eight o ' clock , a large stack of wheat belonging to Mr . Thomas Mace , tanner , at Strood , in Kent , was discovered on fire , and wpa wholly con , sumed before assistance could be rendered . . The Stack stood in a field near the road , and is valued at £ 200 . A man , respectably dressed , gave himself up to a policeman as the author of the mischief . He

      is a perfect stranger in the neighbourhood , and refuses to give his name . Folkestone . —Certain parties here seem preparing to hand over the representation of the electors to the Whig nominee of a clique at Hythe , who seem to think that they aro to do just as they please with us . A hole and corner meeting is held at Hythe—an address comes out in which the learned candidate offers himself on principles that are to " chime in" with those of all parties—and beypresto ! the business is done , and we are to sit down

      contented with our fate ! We rather fancy the future will tell a different tale . This is not exactly the manner in which a rising commercial place like F olkestone is to be treated . We are not quite prepared to accept gratefully , like good children , any boon the condescending inhabitants of Hy the may please to offer us . Let them be well assured that another candidate will come forward—and in the meantime let the electors of Folkestone hold backorganise yourselves—and suffer neither Mr . Brockman nor any one else to dictate to them .

      Highway Robberies . — The neighbourhood of Maidstone , Tenterden . and Ashfovd . has , this winter , been infested with a gang of men who have committed several highway robberies . Tho evenings of tho markets have been generally selected . Lust week , as Mr . Avann , of Tenterden , and Mr . Pearson , Halden , were walking home from Teiiterden market , between six and seven o ' clock , they were stopped by five men , on the turnpike road , leading to Ashford , about two miles out of Tenterden . Mr . Avann offered some resistance to the two men who seized him , on which a third came to their assistance , but they could only get a few shillings from his pocket , while they kept him down with his head in the hedge . Mr . " Pearson was thrown down by the other two men , who emptied his pockets , tilting . a watch a £ 5 Bank of England note , about £ 5 i "

      gold and silver , with several papers , letters , and memoranda . The men went by an adjoining field towards Woodchurch . They were afterwards pursued without success , but subsequently , two men were apprehended on suspicion , and have been com . mitted for trial . Defences of ins Thambs asd Mbdwav . —A detachment of the Royal Artillery , consisting of thirty men , have arrived at Sheerness , for the purpose of placing the guns in position round the batteries of that garrison , and it is understood that so soon as more barrack accommodation is provided , the number of this branch of the service will bo considerably increased at that station . The Sappers and Miners are actively engaged in the Isle of Grains , on the opposite shore of the Medway , in preparing a foundation for the batteries and other works to be erected at that point .

      WOOLWICH . Sacrilege and Burglary . —Oh Tuesday , James Ingham , a youth , was charged with having broken into the house of Mr . Wale , a blacksmith , and stolen a large quantity of property , and also with having robbed the Scotch chapel of chandeliers , & c , and Thomas Brown , foreman to a marine-store dealer named Strong , was charged with having received the same with a guilty knowledge . Police-constable Harris , 158 R , deposei that he was passing Mr . Wale ' s house on Sunday , near the churchyard , and saw one of the doors ajar , and , thinking all was not correct , he went in , and found a quantity of property ,

      cash-box , and a pistol tied up ready to be takeo away . . The shop was in a state of confusion f rom being ronsacked . On searching further he found the prisoner concealed , and on his person was the box now sworn to by Mr . Wale . The door had been wrenched opened by a crow-bar . Sergeant Parry , 8 R , stated that he had received information from Mr . Davis , trustee of the Scotch chapel , of its having been broken opon , and the chandeliers carried off . On making inquiry he found that the prisoner Ingham had committed the robbery , and sold them to Brown . The first lot he sold was six branches , all solid brass , for 2 s . Cd . ; a second lot at the same price on the same day ; next day a dozen more for 5 s .

      SUSSEX . Exteksive Robbery of Jewels at Brighton . — Last week the house of Mr . Alderman Wilson , No . 3 , Eastern-terrace , was entered and robbed of jewels to the amount of £ 300 . The robbery was first discovered by the lady ' s maid , who , on ascending the staircase , heard the wardrobe door in her mistress ' s room creak . On going into the room she saw no one , and on looking into the wardrobe she perceived that the shelf on which the jewels were usually kept was empty . She instantly communicated this to her mistress , and Alderman Wilson sent for some men from a neighbouring mews , who stationed themselves round the house , and while they were there , two men , who had a box with them , and no doubt were the thieves , walked out of No . 2 , passed through the midst of them without question , and got clear off .

      NEWTOWN , MONTGOMERYSHIRE . Firb and Loss of Thrbb Lives . —Last week a fire broke out on thepremises of the Queen ' s Head Inn , and although every exertion was used to stop the progress of the flames , nearly the whole of the premises , together " with the furniture , were consumed . Mr , Peplow , landlord of the inn , the ostler , and Mr , Ferry , maltster , of Clunton , near Bishop ' s Castle , who was staying there for the night , were all burnt to death . Inquest . —Newtown , Feb . 19 . —Mr , W . Slyman , Coroner , held an inquest at the Oak Inn , in this town , to inquire into the circumstances connected with the deaths of Mr . W . Peplow , aged forty-four , the landlord of the Queen ' s Head Tavern ; Thomas

      Perry , aged thirty-nine , a maltster , of Chenton ; and Evan Morgan , aged eighteen , an ostler , all of whom perished in a fire which occurred on Mr . Peplow ' s premises , as related above . W . Jones , a stonemason , said that he had lately set a new grate in the front kitchen of Mr . Peplow ' s premises , and in order to make the same look better , it was arranged that the cavities in the bricks should be filled with a composition of coal tar , turpentine , and pitch . Accordingly , on Tuesday night last he attended at Mr . Peplow ' s . for that purpose , and havjng placed the composition in an iron cauldron , he was warming it over the fire , when a flame risine higher than the top of the vessel , the contents quickly became ignited . Heendeavoured toget the fire extinguished ,

      but was unable , and whilst lifting the cauldron off the stove , the flaming composition fell over the flooring , and the flames rushed out of the doors with great fury . Witness immediately raised an alarm , and Miss Peplow and the servants , who were the only persons up at the time , came to his assistance . The ostler and Mr . Perry were burnt to death . Mrs . Peplow , the landlady of the Queen ' s Head , said , that on the night in question , about half-past eleven o ' clock , she was awoke from her slumbers by hearing loud cries from the outside of the house . She immediately awoke her husband , who was sleeping with her . and told him that she thought something was

      the matter . He listened and replied , •* Oh , it is only a drunken riot in the street , '' and then went to sleep again . Witness , not feeling satisfied , got out of bed , and having descended a few stairs , sho found that the bottom of the stairs was wrapped in flames . She hesitated a minute as to what she had better do , and then screamed out "Fire , " and by some means escaped through the flames . Sho tried , but was unable to get back to her husband , or to the other two parties . Other evidence having been adduced , the Coroner summed up , and the Jury returned a verdict in each case of "Accidental death . "

      Edinburgh. Disturbance Prevails Among Di...

      EDINBURGH . Disturbance prevails among different sections of the working classes . On Saturday the letter-press printers belonging to thirty of the principal offices in Edinburgh struck work . The disputes which led to this result have been pending for some time , and first commenced about the number of apprentices which should be introduced into each establishment . Both masters and men have been engaged for the last

      fortnight in preparing for the strike—the former co-operating with the Printers' Provident Institution , and the latter with the National Typographical Association . The journeymen printers who have struck work , and who muster from 150 to 200 men , have advertised that they will execute orders themselves , and several of their brethren in other trades have promised them support ; in the meantime their places are rapidl y being supplied by English printers . The joiners are also theatening a strike , unless their wages are raised from 4 tl . to 4 Jd . per hour . In the provinces , the Elgin gardeners have made a stand for

Deplorable Case of Destitution . —A farmer in this county having been recently informed that a poor man residing at no great distance from his farm , was in the habit for some time back of stealing his turnips , immediately sent tor the man aud inquired if such was the case;—the poor man at once confessed that himself and his family , for the last four weeks , " had eaten nothing else but keeps with salt .

      Sfclway. The Election.—Serious Riots.—Th...

      SfcLWAY . The Election . —Serious Riots . —This election has been decided after a severe contest . At the close oi tho poll the numbers stood thus : — Monaghan 510 O'Flagherty 506 Majority for the Solicitor-General 4 The Sheriff then declared Joseph Henry Monaghan , Esq ., Solicitor-General , duly returned as a

      member for the town of Galway . the sexton of the Protestant cathedral had the joy-bells rung , which excited the mob , who smashed the church windows and the windows of Kilroy ' s hotel . The magistrates had to break open the church doors to stop the ringing of the bells . The military were called out , and the riot act read by Mr . Kernan , R . M . The police orderlies of Mr . Kernan , R . M ., wera struck with stones . The only person seriously injured , as far as we could learn , was Mr . J . F . Blake , son of the late Sir Valentine , and it is said that he is not yet out of danger .

      the famine . The reports of the ravages of famine and fever , received this week , are still more appalling than any that have yet appeared ; for the destitution is hourly increasing , especially in isolated rural districts , and the wretched people , wasted by long suffering , sink under the first attack of disease . The Bublin Evening Post contains the following afflicting statement from the Rev . J . O'Suliivan , dated « ' Kcnmare , Feb . 17 th" : — " I am just come in from an unfortunate woman , whose dead child lay beside her for the last two days , three others merely gasping , aad , horrible to relate , while in the act of administering the last sacrament to her , a famished cat got upon the bed , and was about to gnaw the carcase of the peer infant . The unfortunate husband and another famishing chil were drowned in tears on their knees .

      " My curate , just come in , tells me he attended a man whose wife died of hunger last week ; and on one side of him lay a girl dead three days—on the other , a child dead since morning , and he is , by this time , gathered unto them himself . "A policeman assured me that he saw pass him , during the las t half-hour , two cars with four coffins on one , and three on the other . Another came to me a few minutes since , to try to make up tbe price of a coffin for a poor creature that lies unturned tor the last four days . "Such a wholesale decimation of human beings was never heard of . " The Rev . R . Traill , D . D ., rector and vicar of Schull , in a letter to the Cork Constitutional , dated " Schull Rectory , Feb . 15 th , "

      says" All around is still a direful and dying scene . Yesterday there were interred in this division of this parish alone , thirty-seven bodies , and we know of seven now lying dead . My parish is verily an Aceldama , a field of death , if not a field of blood . " Everj ? second person among the Roman Catholic population was in fever , and it is computed that one thousand had already fallen .

      BALLIlfAMORE . Since last week ' s accounts , eight persons have died of starvation in the mountainous portion of our district—three of them died returning from the public works . ENNISKILLEN . There were 1 , 018 inmates in the workhouse on Saturday last . From the great increase of sickness nnd a quantity of the clothing being unwashed , it was considered advisable not to admit any paupers this week , unless in cases of great destitution . TYRONE . Omaoh Fever Hospital . —There are at present fifty-three patients in this hospital , twelve of whom are from the workhouse . The committee have been under the necessity of renting a house to provide additional accommodation tor the increased number of patients .

      KERRY . A correspondent writes that , in the small village of Ardfert , ho had seen an entire family—father , mother , and children—carried in a common car to the burial ground of the village . They had died from want of food . In the same village the peasantry some days before congregated , scaled the landlord ' s demesne wall , and in the open day collected hjs sheepabout 200—and drove them off for sacrifice ; but on reaching the outer gate they relented , and the sheep were remitted to their pastures . The patience of the poor , under such terrible privations , is astonishing .

      Infamous Jobbing by Landlords . — Famine and pestilence are sweeping off the population in several of the western and southern counties . Each new report coming in is still more horrible than those that preceded . In the extent of mortality Sligo now appears to surpass any other county , nnd St is asserted that the police , finding the deaths from starvation so numerous , refuse to send for the coroners , probably because it would be physically impossible for those functionaries to hold inquests in so many cases and in different localities . And yet , in this very county of Sligo , the local journal , the Sligo Champion , makes a most startling exposure of an infamous system of jobbing on the public works by landlords , for the employment , it is alleged , of their relations and dependents at higk salaries , to the exclusion of the destitute and famishing labourers . 1 forward the statement published by that journal , which ought at once to become the subject of official investigation .

      The reports from the county of Cork describe the destitution as daily becoming more desolating , extending to the better class of farmers , who , it is stated , after paying their rents , are now consuming the grain they had reserved for seed , whilst the peasantry , all through the extensive sounfcy , are dying by hundreds . Fifty Thousand Deaths from Starvation The police throughout the country have received instructions to furnish returns of the deaths from starvation and disease , i have learned that the number reported , up to the close of last week , at the Constabulary Office in Dublin , was fifty thousand . But there are , of course , many deaths trom want and disease of which the police in the country could have had no knowledge . The actual number of deaths from starvation is probably much larger than tho amount reported by the police .

      The ' Wandering Minstrel , ' Don Juan de Vega-—At a meeting of the electors of Westminster , fa , vourablc to the return of Mr . C . Cochrane , held on Monday evening at the Craven Head , Drury Lane , Mr . Cochrane , on being introduced to the meeting , entered into a lengthened explanation of his previous life , and alluded to some letters which have recently appeared in the Sun , asking whether Mr . Cochrane is the person who , some years since , made a tour throug h Kent and Sussex as Don Juan do Vega , a Spanish minstrel ? lie said , in reply , that he made a tour on behalf of tho distressed Spanish emigrants , and that he wrote a description of his tour when a very young man . lie felt sorry for having written that which in mature years he felt was not right .

      With regard to the object for which he made the tour , he begged to inform the meeting that he had received a vote of thanks from the Spanish Ambassador , and from the highest classes in Spain ; and , in 1814 , when he was at Madrid , the Queen Regent thanked him for what he had done for her po » r emigrant subjects , An elector—'' There is another very serious charge against you ; that during your tour you collected a great deal of wealth . Now , what I want to know is , what was done with the funds so collected ? " Mr . Cochrane — I have not the least objection to state . The funds were very small—I believe between £ 50 . and £ 00 . —all of which , I immediately , on my return to London , divided amongst the distressed Spanish emigrants .

      Death Of A Chartist.— Died At His House,...

      Death of a Chartist . — Died at his house , No . 30 , Klrkgate , Leitb , on Sunday , the 14 th instant , Mr . T . B . Eunson , tailor and clothier . He ivas long an honest and consistent advocate of the cause of democracy , and suffered imprisonments in 1815 for his opposition to the Corn Laws . He represented the Chartists ofLckh in the Birmingham Convention , and stood by Mr . O'Connor when the Sturgites seceded . Though nature denied to him that eloquence which leads the multitude , he was a man of large and expanded views , and in all parties , and under all circumstances , the expression of his strong common sense opinions never failed to convince those who were open to conviction , and to confirm nnd encout ruge the wavering . In him tht cause of Chartism has lost a steady friend , a pure patriot , and an honest man , "

      Committal Op A Medical Practitioner For ...

      COMMITTAL OP A MEDICAL PRACTITIONER FOR MANSLAUGHTER . On Wednesday last , Mr . Wakley , M . P ., and the jury empatinelled to investigate tbe death of Miss Sarah Ellin Collyer , aged 22 , a yeung lady alleged to have died from the effects of an unauthorised medicine , prescribed for her by Dr . Cronin , concluded their inquiry at tho Wheatsheaf , Righ-street , Camden-town . Dr . Cronin was in attendance , represented by Mr . Tennant at his professional adviser . Dr . Scoffern , who had been appointed to make a more minute analysis of tho mixture taken by the deceased , said—I made my analysis In tbe presence of Dr . Venables , Dr Cronin , Mr . Weathers , Mr . Bell , and Mr . Tunaliy . There were 60 minims , or rather more than one drachm of " Pharmacopoeia" prussic acid ia one ounce of the mixture taken by deceased . Coroner—How much would be a dose for an adult t

      Dr . Scoffern—We are ordered , by the" Pharmacopoeia " not to give more than 15 minims , which is a very large dose . Dr . Venablei—I have purchased some bitter almond water at Mr . . French's , the chemist iu Holborn , since the last adjournment . It appears to be the same as that prescribed by Dr . Cronin , and was labelled precisely as written in Dr ., Croniu ' s prescription , " aqua amygdala * amare . " It is quite a harmless mixture , a person might take two or three ounces of it without any ill effects . Dr . Cronin—That is exactly the point . I deny that the mixture taken by the young lady , which cauica her death , was the . prescription I ordered , Mr . Bell , the chemist , in all the main points agreed with Dr . Scoffern as to the analysis , and gnid it was clear the medicine was prepared correctly from the preicription by Mr . Corfield .

      Mr . George Venables , pupil to Dr . Cronin—We have a dispensary at Dr . Croniu ' s , and made bitter almond water ourselves by putting six drops of essential oil into a . quurt of water . The compound strychnia powder is two grains of strychnia to half an ounce of sugar . The forms of these are given to me by Dr . Cronin verbally . Mr . Mottley , ol Berwick-street , makes up Dr . Croniu ' s prescriptions . Catherine Crowley , servant to Miss Collyer , proved taking the prescription to be made up by Mr . Corfield , Mr . Wakley said he would like to hear any chemist Dr . Cronin thought proper to call . Mr . Moreson , chemist , of Southampton-row , said he bad seen the forms of bitter almond water as prescribed in Gray ' s Supplement : tbe weak bitter almond water would ba poisonous , he thought , at the dose of an ounce ; the concentrated would hold more poison than the other . The whole of the waters prescribed by tbe foreign formula are poisonous .

      The Coroner , at this stage of the proceedings , said there was no further evidence , and asked Dr . Cronin if be was desirous of making any statement to the jury . Dr . Cronin said he had tbe highest authority for using the bitter almond water In his prescription , and in support of his statement read extracts from Dr . Christisou's work on poisons , Dr . Thompson ' s new Edinburgh- Pharmacopoeia , Professor Brand , and theLondon Pharmaceutical Journal . He declared , if physicians were to be bound by tho British Pharmacopoeia , and nothlugelso , no improvement could ever take place in the science of medicine .

      Th « Coroner here at very great length proceeded to sum up the evidence . Dr . Cronin , in the present case , appeared to think he had done no wrong ; in that view he ( the Coroner ) considered Dr . Cronin was not borne out by the weight of the testimony laid before tbe jury . It would be for the Jury to consider , however , whether Dr , Cronin had deviated fr » m the ordinary course laid down by authority or not . If they considered he had not , then it would be their duty to exculpate him from all blame ; but if they considered he had not exercised proper care , and that he had deviated from the ordinary custom in writing this prescription , then it would be the duty of the jury to held him culpable . It had been

      proved by Mr , Moreson , who had been 30 years in his profession as a chemist , that he never sold ihe bitter almond water for internal purposes , and Mr , Bell had given similar testimony , Dr . Venables , it is true , had given testimony of a different character ; but the great weight of the testimony showed that it was not authorised by tbe Pharmacopeia . After referring to the evidence of Dr . Scoffern , and tbe other witnesses , the Coroner told the jury that if they believed tho deceased had di ed from the effects of the niedioins , and that it had been prescribed without due and proper care , It would be their duty to find a verdict of Manslaughter against Dr . Cronin .

      Thejury retired about one o ' clock to consider their verdict , and during their deliberation Dr . Cronin was about to leave the house , when he was stopped by Police Serjeant 16 S , who said he had authority to detain him , and if he attempted to go there were police stationed in tbe neighbourhood to prevent him . Shortly after two o ' clock the jury returned into Court , and the foreman announced that they fonnd a verdict of " Manslaughter against Dennis Cronin , '' The Deputy Coroner—Is it unanimous ? The Foreman—Ho , it is not , there are two dlssen . tieats ; but there are twelve who agree to this verdict . The Coroner them made out his warrant of committal , and Dr . Cronin was conveyed to Newgate in a cab .

      Iiorriblk Murder I.V Ffanck.—A Horrible ...

      IIorriblk Murder i . v Ffanck . —A horrible crime has been committed in the department of La . Crewe . At a marriage festival in one of the villages a violent dispute arose between one of the guests and his son-in-law . The father , excited by drink , began to abuse his daughter , and left the party in a state of great initation . He proceeded at once to the house of his daughter , who was in bed asleep . He placed a pistol he had provided himself with close to her forehead , and pulled the trigger . The pistol missed fire , and the daughter , aroused by the noise , and seeing her father at her bedside with a weapon in his hand , implored him to have mercy upon her . He replied by abuse and threats , accused her daugher of

      playing her husband false , and saying she should die by his hands , blew out her hrains with the pistol . After committing the fearful net , this monster in human form went to one ef his acquaintances , told him lie had killed his daughter , and asked for some branny to drink . Alarmed by the threats of his father-in-law , the husband of the unfortunate woman had , meantime , proceeded to his home , when , to his horror , he found the corpse of his wife , lie immediately gave the alarm , nnd the house in which th e father-in-law had sought refuge was surrounded . This latter seized a hatchet , and threatened to split the head of the first man that advanced . One more bold than the rest seined his arm , and he was captured and given up to the authorities .

      Consumption of Smoke . —A patent has been obtained by Messrs . W . G . and W . Taylor , for an invention to bo applied to all furnaces constructed in the ordinary manner with open ash-pits , for effecting a more perfect combustion of the inflammable gases , and unconsuraed carbon . It consists , first , in the application of an exhausting and blowing apparatus ; and , secondly , in a peculiar distribution or arrangement of the smoke flues , so as to be adapted to the operation of such apparatus . A fan , or blower , is applied to tho iluc just before the entranco to the chimney , to arrest the smoke and unconsumed gases , and force them through a Hue , leading therefrom , and opening on , to tho dead plate at or near the front of the five bars . By this means the whole is passed over the incandescent fuel , where it is consumed , instead of passing up the chimney unconsumed .

      Great Fire at Constantinople . —On Tuesday , the 26 th tilt ., a lire was discovered about C o ' clock in the evening in the dwelling house near the theatre , Pera . An instant attempt was made to get the tire subdued , but the means not proving adequate to extinguish the flames , it became a matter of certainty that not only this dwelling house , but the adjoining premises must fall a prey to the destructive element . Upon the first alarm being raised , expresses were sent to the engine stations with intelligence of the disaster , but the light thrown out by the flames was so intense that it became a far more speedy messenger of danger than the parties sent . Indeed , by 9 o ' clock , it was feared that a considerable part of Pera would be enveloped in flame . An abundant supply of water which was scattered over the fire , and an intense activity on

      the part of the populace , had not until 10 o ' clock the desired effect of cutting off the progress of the fire justas it had communicated with Galata Seraglio on one side of the street , and the house of tho British Ambassador on the other . The houses nnd shops which became a prey to the devouring element were situated between Galata Seraglio and a store house opposite the house of the British Ambassador on one side of the street , and on the opposite side from the end of the fish market to tho house of the Ambassador . The number of houses destroyed cannot amount to less than 50 , and these quite the elite of Pera . Had the evening been dry and the wind high , nothing could have prevented the greater part of Pera , and perhaps Galata , from being consumed . The houses destroyed are principally the property of Armenians , and tenanted by Greeks .

      Death prom Want . —On Tuesday , before Mr . Wm , Baker , at the Wheatsheaf , St . George-in-the-East . on the body of Catherine Ryan , aged 60 . The daughter of tho deceased said her mother had latterly suffered from want of food . Deceased never applied for relief , and objected to go into the workhouse , observing that sho would rather starve than enter it . She never made her distress known to any charitable institution . Mr . Garratt , surgeon , stated that when he saw the deceased she was dying . lie found her suffering from want of food , and her body was extremely emaciated . She had a disease of the lungs , but death was hastened from want of food . This was the only case they had in the parish , and had the clergyman known the case , it would , certainly , have been relieved . The jnry , having observed that no blame was attached to any one but to the deceased and her husband , returned a verdict in accordance with the evidence .

      Iupoetant Discovert . —By tbe advices lately received from Bfaiil , it appears that a discovery has been made in the Cocaes mine by a negro iu the employ of the National Brazil Company . This is a vein 12 fathoms wide , and traced to a length of 37 . fathoms . It consists of "jacotinga , " containing gold in grains , from ) the minutokt particles to the size of a barl » jcorn .

      BOLTON . —At a Land members meeting hehfoa Sunday last , it was resolved : — " That all members * names eligible for the ballot be read over at a members' meeting , called the last meeting night previous to each ballot , so that all members' may know whether they are on the list or not . " "That W . W . Pickrance be the financial and corresponding secretary , and that James Ford be scrutineer for the next month . " NORTHAMPTON . —Ata general meeting of the members , held on Monday , February the 22 nd , it was unanimously resolved : " Thata levy of one halfpenny per member , per week , be in force for this year , to commence from the 1 st of January , 1847 . " "That the secretary correspond with the other towns in the county , for the organization of tho county . "

      POVERTY OF THE FRAME WORK KNIT TERS . —Waoks asd the Poor-Laws , — A struggle is still going on at Hinckley , between the frame-work knitters and one leadingihouse amongst tho manufacturers , for a small advance of wages . The advance , if secured , will not average more than 8 d , per week to tho workmen . Many of the frames were taken in on Thursday , and it is expected that mote than 200 will be sent in during the week . Every other firm is giving this small advance . The board of Guardians have taken up the subject on behalf of the workmen . Mr . Weale , the assistant poor-law commissioner , has attended one of the meetings of the board , and has examined the subject in all its bearings , and cross-examined some of the workmen : He has also given the following important decision : —

      " That the earnings of the Hinckley framework knitters are insufficient , when in full work , to afford the necessaries of life—that is , food , clothing , shelter , and fuel . That it is incumbent upon the parochial authorities to see that the industrious poor should have these necessaries ; but as the law will not allow that the wages of labour should be made up out of the poor-rates , the board are justified in taking all such families upon the poor-rate funds , and to support them wholly , without subjecting them to th © workhouse test .

      The board of guardians have agreed to take all the ) men who have a wife and three children and upwards , who cannot get the small advance of wages , and allow them to work at tho mill in the Union-house , and pay them for such labour every night in sums of money and bread , in proportion to the number of their children . This system is now adopted at Hinckley ; and at nine o ' clock every morning the operative framework knitters may be seen going ia droves to the Union-house to " work at the mill . * The symapthies of tho rate payers are stated to be with the workmen :

      DESTITUTE STATE OP THE TOWER HAMLETS' " WILLOW MANUFACTURERS AND OPERATIVES . —On Afonday , Feb . 22 , a general meeting of the masters and operative willaw weavers was held at the Knave of Clubs , Club-row , Church-street , Betbnal-green , for the purpose of petitioning Parliament on the present depressed condition of the trade . Mr . Gardener , a work , ing man , was unanimously called to the chair . Tha meeting , which was numerously attended , was addressed by Messrs . George , Lncy , Hawksworth , Goode , and others . The following resolution was unanimously adopted : — " That it is the opinion of this meeting that tbe willow trade is in a more depressed condition at thistime than it has been for a number of years , this meeting being in a condition to prove more than one-third of the hands in the Tower Hamlets ar « at present unem . ployed ; the consequence has been , an immense increase of pauperism in the district , besides which , there are a » immense number of families , enduring almost

      unheardof privations , keeping their miseries to themselves , and suffering even unto death without making it known j and In , the opinion of this meeting , nearly the whole of this distress has been caused by the measures introduced into Parliament by Sir Robert Peel , and sanctioned by that august body , for reducing the duty on foreign manufactured nquares , which has caused e , stagnatioa in the home willow trades as well as great reduction in the wages of labour . Many of the manufactures , instead of employing English labaur to manufacture willow squares , have become importers of foreign squares , choosing to encourage the cheap labour of the foreigner , in preference to that of the English workmen . And this meeting is further of opinion that , unless the government interferes to secure the home market to the English producer , the trade will sink into a more depressed condition than it even now is . " A petition to Parliament based upon the preceding resolution was unanimously adopted , and a committee of five having been appointed , the meeting broke up .
