The Suspected Mordek of as Esgixeeb . —On Wednesday morning Mr . W . Carter resumed and concluded the inquiry touching the death of Alfred Jewell , aged twentythree , an engineer , who was found under the Kent-road-Bridge of the Surrey Canal under circumstances which gave rise to the suspicion t ' . iat his death was the result of foul phy . —Mr . Hooper , surgeon , stated that he had made a post mortem examination of the body , and found the heait and lungs perfectly healthy . The bone of the heid was quite enrire , and there was no mark of violence whatever . He had no doubt the deceased had died from suffocation by drowning . —Ann Jewell , the wife of deceased , was led into the room almost in a fainting stale , And said that on the Friday morning , when the deceased left home to proceed to his work he was in perfect health and spirits . He bad not
been at work in consequence of the dispute between the masters and workmsn lor about fonr weeks .

Kay stated flat the deceased had told him that soon after he had
signed the masters declaration , he was met by several men , wbo asked him if he had gone hick to work , and upon his replying in the atfirma ' . ivc , they said , " Any man that has done so ought to have his head cut off . " Evidence having been given to show that the deceased had no occasion whatever to go on to the bank of tbe canal , the coroner summed n ? , aud the jury , after about half-an-hour ' s consultation , returned averdiet " That the deceased was found drowned , but how or what means he came into tbe water there was no evidence to show . " The coroner remarked that , although they hid recorded a verdict of Found Drowned , he - was certain that it would not at all interfere with tho inquiries of the police , or defeat the ends of justice in this most extraordimrv case .

Destructive Fire in Liverpool . —On Sunday morning a fire was discovered in the upper part of the premises of Messrs . Groom and Sons , wholesale stationers , Lord-street , Liverpool , and before tbe eng ines could reach the spot the whole premises were in flames , and the fire had communicated to the " Mercury" office adjoining . In about half an hour , however , the ongines of the West of England and other offices arrived , and there being a good supply of water the flames were speedily overpowered , but not before the roof of Messrs . Groom ' s house was entirely destroyed , and a considerable amount of property both in that house and the printing-office of the " Liverpool Mercury had been onsumed
• . . . . .. Ixcesdiarism at Esfibld . —A fire occurred at Enfield on Sunday morning , which , there is too much reason to fear , was the work of an incendiary . The owner of the propeity destroyed is Mr . John Whaley , a gentleman of fortare . owning several farms in the neighbourhood , but occupying aud residing himself at Holly Hill Farm , about eight miles distant from Enfield . Mr . Whaley ' s homestead closely adjoins his residence , and his stackyard contained eight or ten valuable corn and hay ricks . On Sunday morning the policeman on duty found a wheat-s tack in the centre of the rick yard in flames . He gave an instant alarm , and a number of cottagers were soon upon the spot . Wet tarpaulins were thrown over some of the ricks , and after considerable difficulty the fire was got under , the damage being confined
to the destruction of one stack of wheat aud one clover rick . The police are on the alert to discover the origin of the fire . Mr . Whaley is insured . IJJCKXDUBI 8 H near Winhsor . —On Sunday evening a fire broke out in the farm premises , near the dwelling house of Mr . Winder , in the parish of Bray , about midway between Windsor aud Maidenhead . The speedy arrival of the engines happily confined the flames to two large barns , which , with the corn and implements , were totally consumed . The fire continued to burn through the greater part of the night , but the house and adjoining sheds were saved . There is every reason to believe that the premises were wilfully fired , but no cine to the discovery of the offenders has been obtained . The loss was covered by an
insurance in the Sun Fire-office . The Geeat Railway Bridge at Chepstow . — The first suspension tube for the railway bridge over the river Wye , at Chepstow , has been fully tested by the immense weight uf eleven hundred tons being attached to it , and its capability for bearing tbe heavy weights which will pass over it has been completely demonstrated . The works are now so far advanced that there is every hope that by the first week in April one of the lines of rail will be opened for the purpose of traffic . The bridge combines the Britannia tabular and the Alenai susp -nsion principles , and this combination will render it doubly secure . Mr . Stephenson , the eminent engineer , has inspected the bridge and concurred in the plan adopted by Mr . Brunei . Preparations are now being made for the purpose of raising the first tubs ; all the difficulties which so long obstructed the progress of tbe bridge have now been overcome , and a firm foundation for the supporting cylinders completely secured .
Expxosros of a Bieam-engixe Boileb . —A deplorable accident occurred at West-hill , Oldham , on Monday morning , by the explosion of a steam engine boiler . A small factory had been erected of two stories in height and twenty yards long , with an eight-horse steam-engine , by Messrs . Xuttall and Clougb . The boiler exploded with a terrific report , at the same time rising out of the brick work and leaping into the air and pitching forward alongside and psst the factory to a distance of forty yards , whilst the back end of it , which was the part first giving way , was blown to a great height , passing over a double row of cottages at the west end of the factory . This part of tbe boiler was afterwards found fifty yards distant , and some of the bricks aud cotton waste from the factory were found at upwards of 100 yards distant . The boiler-end , in its course , itruck
the tall chimney of the factory , and caused it unfortunately to full over upon the nearest cottages , almost wholly destroying two of them , and killing one of the occupants , Mary Xewton , who was at tbe time preparing her husband ' s dinner in the kitchen . She was assisted out of the cottage alive , but died within an hour afterwards , from bruises and scalds . Her son , a boy about eleven years old , was about fifteen yards from the door , having on his back the youngest child , sixteen months old . Both of them were scalded . The child , Sarah Ann Sewton , wag also struck on the nose by a brick , and severely wounded . The little sufferer died very shortly afterwards . Mrs . Wright , aneighbour , was in Mrs Newton ' s house , and also sustained a severe and dangerous blow on the forehead . James Howarth , the enginetenter , was in the fireplace when the boiler exploded , and it went over his head , but he was knocked down by the brick-work , and received such severe injuries on the spine
aud other parts of the body that his recovery is not expected . John Gartside , who was working at a wheel in the factory , was struck with a brick and so severely hurt that he is not likely to recover . The explosion destroyed about 300 square feet of masonry at the side of the building where the boiler stood , but the machinery has not suffered muuh damage . Seven men belonging to the Amalgamated Society of Engineers were in this part of the mill , inspecting the shafting , vith a view to taking the place for a machine shop , but received no injury , though one lost his hat , and another got his foot fast in " the flooring a short time through the explosion . Three of the cottages had their doors and windows broken , in addition to * two being destroyed . The boiler had only been put down twelve months , but was an old one patched up . The stays inside were strong and well bolted apparently , and one has torn thcrivets from tbe end of the boiler before giving way .
A horrirle case of self-mutilation occurred in a classical school near Windsor . Ii appears that on Saturday last , one of the scholars , aged eleven years , failed in the task expected of him , and was ordered by his tutor to make himself perfect . The youth obstinately refused , and in a fit of passion deliberately sharpened his penknife and cut a piece , an inch in length , off his tongue . ' The youth is going on satisfactorily , and is enabled to articulate so as to be understood . Fatal Accidest at Leeds . —On Monday evening Mr . Tiiney , a retired marble mason and contractor , residing at York
, was killed at Leeds . The deceased had for some days been on a visit to his son , the Leeds borough surveyor , and on Monday night was returning with him from the country to Leeds ia a phaeton . In Quarry Hill the horse became unmanageable , and started off at full speed down the hill , and on arriving at a turn in the road , opposite Mabgate , the horse swerved , and was thrown down b y the locking of the gig wheel . Both the deceased and his son were thrown out with great violence , Mr . Tiiney , sen ., being killed on the spot by the fracture of his skull , and the son so seriously injured about the head , that but faint hopes of his recovery are entertained .
Cokvent at Leedb . —We are informed ( says the '" Leeds Mercury " ) that one of the strictest kinds of convents is about to be established . It ia said that Lady Harris , widow of the late Sir William Harris , Envoy to Abyssinia , has recently hecome a Roman Catholic in Edinburgh , under the influence of tbe Jesuits , and that she has made over all her property , aud the beautiful estate of Sea Cliff , Haddingtonshire , to the Jesuits . It is understood that this lady , after uevforming a noviciate at an austere convent in Grenoble , France , is to found a similar institution in Leeds . Lady Harris is niece to Colonel Outram , so distinguished a British resident in Scinde .
Meuxcuolt Suicide . —On Saturday night last Mr . John Roa Knights , aged eighteen years , son of Mr . William Knights , corn merchant , of Grundisburgh , came to his death under very melancholy circumstances . It appears that some three years since the deceased was thrown by a spirited horse , by which accident he sustained injuries that at tunes affected his brain . On Saturday night being on a visit to this town , he spent the evening at the Ipswich Arms , on the Cornhill . He had previously provided himself with eight grains of strychnine , on the plea that he wanted to destroy a f avourite dog . After he had retired to rest he aroused the family , who found him to be in a very alarming condition . Medical assistance was at once procured , but m two hours' time the unfortunate young man expired . The inquest was held on Tuesdav , when the following verdict was returned- *' That the debased destroyed himself by taking strychnine , being at the time in a state of unsound mmd .
Attempted MiiRDEH .-On Monday last , William Hughes was brought before the magistrates , charged with having cut the throat of John Eccles , a collier , of Oswaldtwisle .

Englishman oujj ' . u fa De beheaded : He then sat down near to Eccles ' pouring upon him a considerable amount of abuse . Wiiusfc he was doing so , he kept approaching nearer to the prosecutor , and when the latter was holding his head down , he seieed him by the neck and cut his throat with an old razor . The prisoner , in his defence , said he had no recollection whatever of the murderous attack , as he had been drinking during the day ( the 14 th ) with a number cf moulders , and had got intoxicated . He believed he was begging to obtain a few coppers for the next day ( Sunday ) . Mr . Eccles , the senior magistrate , said that drunkenness was no excuse for crime ri this country , and the case
against him having been clearly proved , the bench were compelled to commit him to take his trial at the next Liverpool assizes . ¦ ' _ , Fire at Oxford . -A fire was discovered on Sunday night in the ancient church of St . Peter-in-the-East , which , but for the timely alarm given by some students of Queen ' s College , whose rooms look out on the church , would hav « speedily become a prey to the devastating flames . The fire is supposed to have been caused by the overheating of some new apparatus for the warming of the church . Fortunately the damage is confined to the destruction of a few pews .
A Dbda-habd ' s Eso . —On Saturday last an inquest waa held upon the bo ly of a poor man , named Ellis Mickleburgb , who whilst walking to Yarmouth , and apparently in a state of intoxication , fell under the wheel of the Lowestoft omnibus , but he was rescued by a man riding behind , and went on his way ; subsequently , however , the omnibus overtook him on tbe road , and singular to relate , he again staggered , and fell from the side of the road between the horses , and the wheels of the omnibus this time passed over him , and , before the driver could pull up , be was killed . Verdict— " Accidental Death "; no blame attached to the driver .
A Common on Fire . —Between twenty and thirty acres of furze was on Are near Hjthe , in Hants , on Tuesday night . It ia supposed to have been the work of an incendiary . The fire illumined the sky for miles round . The Bandum Murder . The only wanting link in the chain of evidence bringing home the murder of his uncle to the prisoner Kalabergo has just been supplied . The pistol with which it is believed the murder was committed has been found with a great coat in a ditch , about 400 yards from the spot . A Mr . Watkins , who sold a pistol to the prisoner about a month before the murder , identified the pistol as tho one he sold to him ; four witnesses identified the great coat as having belonged to the late Mr . Kalabergo . The trial of the prisoner is to take place at Oxfordshire assizes next week . Mischievous Hoax , an » Usjdst Assault bs Pomoembh . —The Liverpool watch committee are engaged in investigating tbecircmnstaiicesunder which an audience , assembled in the Catholic chapel of the Holy Great Cross , Crosshallstreet , to hear a lecture from the Rev . Dr . Cahili , on
Monday evening , were very unjustifiably attacked , and many of the congregation severely injured . The facts appear to be these . During the lecture , some mischievously-disposed party entered the place and called out that a beam was breaking ; about the same time , the police state that they were informed a number of Orangemen had entered the chapel , and that their presence was immediately required to quell a " serious riot . It is well known that the authorities of Liverpool have at all times the greatest difficulty in suppressing tumults between the Catholic and Orange portions of the population , whenever collisions unfortunately occur ; and a strong force of police was soon mustered on this occasion , who proceeded at once to the supposed scene of conflict . Here they found the people rushing out of the chapel pell-mell , under the panic caused by the alarm of the broken beam , and who , on their arrival outside the doors , were furiously attacked by the police . One poor woman had her arm broken , and many are confined to their homes by the injuries received .
Inundation op a Coal Pit . —Seven Lives Lost . —The melancholy catalogue of disasters resulting from the late heavy rains in the northern counties has been augmented by the occurrence of a flood in a coal-pit , near Rochdale , by which seven persons are supposed to have perished . The scene of this calamity is the Chad wick Hall Colliery , at Birtly-cum-Bamford , between Rochdale and Bury , The colliery belongs to Messrs . Roscoe and Lord , and tbe pit in which the fatality took p lace has been worked for about four years . During the recent wet weather the water in the old mines has accumulated to such an extent that on the ISth inst . it suddenly burst through into the main drift of Messrs . Roscoe and Lord ' s mine whilst the colliers were at work . Two of the colliers being near tbe shaft , and heating tbe noise of the rushing water , with great
difficulty succeeded in reaching the cage , and were wound up in safety . Two other men and two boys who were in tho upper part of the mine , retreated along the driftway , from which they were unable to escape in time , and were rapidly pursued by the rising water . On reaching the top of tho drift way their further progress was prevented , and they wero compelled to watch in agonising suspense the gradual approach of the water to within a few inches of the place where they stood , awaiting the doom which appeared inevitable , After remaining in this perilous situation upwards of six hours they were enabled to escape , through the subsiding of the water . There were still five boys and three men in the mine , for whose fate the most fearful
apprehensions were excited . The lifeless bodies of Robert Shepherd and Samuel Wolstenholme were recovered on the following day . The former was thirty years of age , and has left a widow and four children . His body was much cut and bruised . Wolstenholme was a boy , sixteen years of age . The names of the others are Benjamin Shepherd , aged twelve ( son of Robert Shepherd ) 5 W . Gates , thirty ; T . Lees , thirty ( both married men with families ); and three brothers , Minny Howartb , eighteen ; Robert , fourteen ; and Noah , sixteen ; sons of a farmer in the neighbourhood . Another man , whose name we do not know , wai taken out alive on the following day , but fire of the above persons hare yet to be accounted for .

Glasgow.—It Is A Singular Coincidence Th...
Glasgow . —It is a singular coincidence that the news of the resignation of the ministry on Saturday should have reached Glasgow on exactly the same day twelvemonth that their previous resignation was announced . On Saturday , tho 22 nd February , last year , the ministers resigned , and on the same day , this year , a similar fate has befallen them . Novel Application . —The hours of six in the morning and ten in the evening are regularly rung from the spire of St .

Arran . —Another Accident from Naphtha . —A fatal accident lately happened at Brodick , in the house of Mr . John Fullarton , boot and shoe maker . His workmen during the winter nights had been using naphtha , or wood spirit , in place of oil , in the lamps . One evening lately , one of the men went to rill a bottle of naphtha out of a jar , taking with him Mr . Fullarton ' s little boy to hold a candle . While he was filling the bottle , the naphtha was allowed to communicate with the light , and immediately taking fire , exploded with a loud noise , threw the boy down stairs enveloped in flames , and set the house on fire . The boy ' s clothes , impregnated with the naphtha , were all in flames , which were extinguished by wrapping him in a blanket . Medical aid was instantly procured for the two sufferers . The poor child was so severely wounded that he did not long survive . He sank in death about fourteen hours after the accident happened .
The Alleged " Diggings' in Srve . —We have been favoured with the sight of a few specimens of the Skye gold , from which we find that our northern friends are unhappily labouring under a sad delusion . The mental approximates to the colour of gold , and has a clear bright glitter ; but so have the metallic diamonds that sparkle in the sunbeams on our housestops , and which are at least of equal value with the produce of our Celtic California . — Aberdeen Herald . The Fifeshihe Murder . —From a communication received on Sunday by the authorities from the police superintendent at Cupar , we learn that the murderers of the old woman , Margaret Maxwell , who was deprived of life in such a barbarous manner a few days ago , have been apprehended . The watch v ? hich was stolen from the house by the wretches has at the same time been recovered . There are three parties implicated in the murder , but the names have not reached us . —North British Mail .
Distrebsino Accident . —Two Men Killed . —On Tuesday afternoon a very distressing accident , by which two masons were killed , and a third so severely injured that scarcely any hopes are entertained of his recovery , occurred at a new building in the course of erection in Bath-street . It appears that the tenement was so far advanced as to be ahout read y for roofing , The unfortunate men , the time of the occurrence being about the dinner hour , were seated on a scaffolding in the fourth story , taking their mid-day repast together , when , without any warning , the back gable , on the top , of which the scaffolding was erected , suddenly gave way , and fell with a dreadful crash , carryinthe
g men along with it , and burying them in the ruins . One of the men , named Gonna ! , was first got out , but quite dead ; another , named Forysth , was also speedily extricated , but only lived for a few minutes . The third , whose name is Macbeth , was dreadfully bruised and cut about the head and body , but being in life was removed to tha Royal Infirmary , though with little hope of recovery . The only reason assigned by competent parties for the melancholy and unlooked for event ia tho insecurity of the foundation on which the houae had been erected . Connal , we regret to learn , was a married man , but wo have not heard whether he has left any family . Forsyth was unmarned , —Glasgow Paper .

The ' Qath ' OMC UsrvERsW '—ft appears to be generally - understood here that the'Englhm government has long < rnee notified to the Court of Rome that , in the event of the finllen project being fully realised , and funds being actually subscribed towards the building of the university and the fnture endowment of its professors , the projectors of the T' will find too late that a vast expenditure of both ( impend money has been to all intents thrown away .

It is b !« iostcertaio that the reform besom wiU beextensively ?™ is ! j £ « . « ta lessening the labours of the Court of
Chancorv and conferring the inestimable boon of speedy and chea p j ustice upon the public at large . Thb Lib Sfkcwl Gommios .-The attorney who acted for the prisoners in the recent trial for the murder of Mr . Bateson , at the special commission , has written a letter to the " Freeman ' s Journal , " to contradict the statementmade b y Lord Glengaii in the House of Lords that only three of the jurors were for an acquittal . Mr . M'Mahon , the attorney , states distinctly that on the first trial there were nine jurors for acquitting the prisoner , and on the second trial EPTflD The Late Mr . Shibl . —The remains of the late Right Hon . Richard Lalor Shiel arrived in Dublin on Saturday night , and were deposited in » the Jesuits' Church of St . Francis Xavier , where Archbishop Murray and other Roman Catholic prelates are to preside at solemn obsequies for the deceased . The removal of the remains to Tipperary will then take place in a private manner . Evictions . —460 persons were evicted last week on the estates of Lord Gort , lately sold in the Encumbered Estates
Morder iw Limerick . —The Lord Lieutenant has offered a reward of £ 100 for the ^ conviction of the person or persons concerned in the murder of a man named Cleary , which was perpetrated near Askeaton on Thursday night week . The dweased was land-bailiff to Edward Davenport , Esq . He had collected about £ 12 in rents that day , and when last seen he bad a loaded pistol for his protection . His dead body was found with a gun or Jristol shot wound through the heart . His pistol was found in his pocket , but discharged , and the money waa gone . The Limerick , Westmeath , Kerry , Tipperary , and King ' s County papevs , received to-day , Contain repwts of agrarian outrages of the ordinary character—via ., grievous outrages on persons , incendiary fires , threatening notices , and firing at individuals . _
Mr . Thomas Brereton , resident magistrate , Tuam , is summoned for the 4 th March , to the petty sessions , by his brother magistrates , for assault upon Patrick Lowry in the streets , and who swore that he called him one of the M'Hale ' s dogs ! Bridget Barnes , who had a cut over her right temple , swore informations against the Rev . Mr . Weldon , Protestant curate of Tuam , for knocking her down and kicking her . The Late Ministry . —It would be hard to conceive a more singular exhibition of national levity of character than
that displayed at this moment , or the joy with which the Irish " liberals" aro prepared to rush into the arms of the Tories . A coercive and violent Anti-Catholio Ministry is threatened ; Reform is knocked on the head , and the men who are already pledged to lay violent hands on trial by jury in Ireland are expected back ; but anything for a change seems to be welcome . The " brigade" members who were denounced for their tergiversation on Lord Naas ' s motion have received full absolution on the strength of their " good behaviour . " The ' ! Freeman " shouts in triumph that the hour of retribution has arrived .
Lord Castlereagb has ad dressed the electors of Down in explanation of his intention to retire from the representation of the ' r county . The Spring circuits commenced on Tuesday with the assizes of the town of Drogheda . Neither in tha judge ' s charge to the grand jury nor in the cases tried was there anything of the slightest general interest . With the exception of the agrarian outrages in a few of the counties , the calendars to be disposed of at the present assizes throughout Ireland exhibit few cases that will excite public interest .
The Russell Ministry . —The " Cork Examiner "—once upon a time a champion of the men who formed the late government—thus speaks of their downfall : — «• And so their career of cruelty , neglect , and imposture-of daring promise , and bare-faced lying—ia now at an end ; and , save the disappointed place-hunter , whose ail was embarked in their existence , there is not a human being who does not feel elated at their destruction . Better , any day , to have a bold , open foe , than a false friend . For our part , we look upon the change as most salutary for this country ; for Whiggerv was degrading and debasing it to theprofoundess depths or rottenness and slavery . " State Prosecution . —The grand jury of Louth found true bills for a seditious libel against Mr . Car tan , proprietor of the "Dundalk Democrat . " On the motion of counsel for the crown , the trial was fixed to take place in the Queen ' s Bench next term .
Serious Illness op Archbishop Murray , —There are few men , be their creed what it may , who will not hear with regret that Archbishop Murray , the old and zealous upholder of toleration and enlightenment , now lies almost hopelessly ill . This venerable prelate has been seized with a fit resembling paralysis , and his e . ifreme age , oighty-three , precludes all hope of ultimate recovery . Armt Equipment . —The " Bunner of Ulster , " a careful collator of military information , states that the eight Highland regiment—fire wearing the kilt , and three the trews—are to be armed and equipped as rifle corps , with the green jacket and tartan trowsers ; consequently , the kilt , the last remnant of a barbaric age , which has been long doomed , is to be sent to the right-about .
Lord Clarendon ' s Departure , —The mail steamer Eblana arrived in Kingstown on Tuesday evening on special service , for the purpose of receiving on board his Excellency , the Earl of Clarendon . No day is yet named for the departure of the late Viceroy .
Dangerous Condition Op Sheernebs.—Appall...
Dangerous Condition op Sheernebs . —Appalling as is the catastrophe that occurred at Holmfirth , one of a much more fearful nature threatens the town of Sheerness , and to which that will bear but a faint comparison , where , in the event of an inundation , thousands are likely to meet with a watery grave , as well as hundreds of thousands pounds worth'of property destroyed , belonging to government as well as private individuals , This our readers will be best able to judge when considering the following particulars ; and , should it meet the eye of those who command an influence , doubtless it will obtain theattention the case demands : —Sheerness lies about eight feet below high water mark at the time of spring tide , and some parts more than ten feet . There are about 2 , 600 inhabitants in Blue
Town , and about 5 , 000 in Mile Town ; the houses are built lightly , and principally of wood , so that in the event of tho water coming in with any velocity , it is likely to carry the houses before it and bury the inmates in their ruins , with no prospect of escape , besides drowning the immense quantity of sheep and cattle on the marshes , Persons Who visit Shesmess , and make their observations at the time of high water , will discover that the tide rises to within a foot of the top of the stonework of the dockyard and the beiohwall , and should the wind blow strong from the northwest , they will see it frequently splash over the wall ; and what happens to other places may happen to Sheernessnamely , a two-feet rise of tide above the usual height . The consequence would be a calamity not to be described or equalled in the annals of history , upon which the sensible inhabitant cannot reflect without shuddering for his own safety , especially when considering that it would
extend for nearly two miles round the town , thus giving little room for retreat . Only picture the two towns of Mile Town and Blue Town , with together upwards of 7 , 000 inhabitants , after quietly resting at night , thankful at being preserved from the storm that rages at sea , the shrill whistle of whose wind they only hear , when of a sudden , as of the thundering voice of tbe Holmfirth waters , yet with unstayed progress and equal fury , thev are at once awoke and swept away , on land , by the fury of the element that surrounded them , and from the influence of which they vainly considered themselves secure . Yet should the tide rise but two feet abovo the usual hei ght , this would be an inevitable consequence . That the sea walls are weak , and require strengthening with good stonework instead of mud , is evident , and being raised three feet higher at least , to render the towns and dockyard safe from such an occurrence ; at the same time it would provide employment for many . —United Service Gazette .
Mr . Justice Patieson— It is confidentl y stated in legal circles , and apparently with good authority , that Sir John Patteson , who has just retired from a judgeship in the Court of Queen ' s Bench , will be placed at the head of a permS body of legal gentlemen , who will be appointed to ierintend and digest for parliament and the countrv the v , !! whKfa'SS : r ° / 0 eWedlegisS " saL Ln . and S fe y " every aucoeeQ «» g imm .-Swi aivTwTafe ^^^^ 'angers , and expen .
