      BLAIR'S GOUT ASD RHEUMATIC PILLS . Copy of a letter from Mr Blake , i"ingseliffe , Nor thamptonAire " . , Kngscliffe , January 21 , 1847 . _'Jj SiB , —Twelve years ago I became afflicted with Rheumatic Gout . I procured the best advice possible , but without deriving any benefit ; and the doctors recommended me to go to the Stamford Infirmary , where I continued twelve weeks , and left it without having obtained any benefit , and all hepe of relief had vanished . " Toa hopeless state of things continued until a friend advised me _tojtry Blair's Pills . Itben lost no time in _send-HngtoMrMortlock , of Stamford , for a box , and by ' the Vs » e I had taken that quantity I got rid of one crutch . I then sent for another box , which enabled me to throw away the other , and thank God I have never since had snch an attack . " I am much exposed to cold j but whenever I feel symptoms of attack , I have recourse to the pills with universal success .

      The Premises Of Mr Txos, A Furniture Bro...

      the premises of Mr _TXos , a furniture broker , situate in the middle of the above-named thoroughfare . Owing tothe highly combustible character of the stock in trade the fire travelled with more than usual rapidity , so that before the inmates in the upper part ofthe house became aware of the outbreak the shop and all it contained were in a general blaze . Fortunately , the whole of the parties succeeded in effecting a retreat without receiving any personal injury . In a very brief period the parish and London brigade engines attended ; and , there being an abundant supply of water , the flames were extinguished , but not until the lower portion of the premises ' was burned out , and the stock therein consumed .

      _SupposedMranBR of A Fbmale . —Before Mr . W . Baker by adjournment , at the Green Man publichouse , High-street , Poplar , respecting the death of Mrs Eliza Rayment , aged forty-six , a married woman , who was found drowned in the river Thames , off Millwall , on Friday morning the 17 th inst ., with her throat cut . Mr Bain , a surgeon , said he had made apost mortem examination ofthe body , which wasvery much decomposed , and appeared to have been in the-water some time . There was a large quantity of extrayasatod blood in various parts of the scalp on the right side of the head , which could only have been caused during her lifetime . There was a wound under the chin abont four inches in length , extending from the middle . line of the throat to the . angle , of the jaw . on the right side . The

      wound was about an inch , in depth , and two important arteries were , divided . The division : of the arteries would cause an immediate and . great loss of blood , it was possible that the deceased might have inflicted such an injury , but a person using the right hand would more naturally make the _inoision on the left-hand side . He ( Mr Bain ) attributed death tothe Joss of blood from the wound , coupled with concussion of the brain , which is likely to have taken place from the effusion of blood npon the scalp . The extravasation of blood is such as might have been produced by blows with a stick , or by a succession of falls . It was Btated by several witnesses that the deceased lived on very friendly terms with ber husband , r ? ho is a retired auctioneer , residing at No . W , Highstreet , Hoxton . The deceased was rather intemperate in her habits , and bad pledged _several articles of wearing apparel te procure drink . On Sunday morning she left home , and said she was going on an errand . She dressed herself in her bonnet and sbawl ,

      which was very unusual , for she waa iu the habit of going on errands without her bonnet . She was never seen alive afterwards . Search was made , but she was hot discovered until a fortnight afterwards , when she was found dead in the river with ker throat cut . Thejury considered there was not sufficient evidence for them to return a verdict of wilful murder against some person or persons unknown , or whether she had committed tbe act herself . They then consulted for a . short time , and " returned a , verdict of ' Found drowned with her throat ont , but by what means sbe becamn drowned , with her throat cat , there was hot sufficient evidence before the said jury . ' Fools in Grain . —It turns out , after all , that even in the county of Northumberland there are large stores of old grain . One extensive farmer in Bamburghsbire has no less . than 1 , 700 bolls of wheat , another , 700 , and another 500 , which , might have teen sold ot the rate of 120 * . a quarter in the month of May , bnt which will not new produce half that sum . ..-..-. ¦ ..,

      Tenant.Bight In Tipperary. The Following...

      TENANT . _BIGHT IN TIPPERARY . The following is the repori ' o'f thegreat _Holyoross meeting promised onr readers In eur last : — ¦ In pursuance of a requisition signed by a large num . fer of the teoantYarmers of tbe countyvof Tipperary , the meeting was held at "" _folycrosi on Monday " , ** twoo _olook . The object of the meetbj _& ' as set forth'in the requisition , was to ' establish a tenant league , or an association of tenant farmers / for the purpose of asserting and securing the rights and improving the condition of the occupying tenantry ofthe sell . ' The fanners and peasantry felt the _greate-t Interest in the meeMng , many of them having come twenty or thirty miles to attend it . The chair was taken by Mr _, W , Lbugbnane , of Boy tonratb , a tenant farmer .... ., „ . , ., . „ .., ....,,.. Mr J . F . Lalob was appointed secretary to tbe meet _, ing , and briefly explained the objects for ; wbleh it was called , and tben read tbe following resolutions ' . —

      « That of natural right , on the grant ef God , the soil of Ireland belongs to the people of Ireland , who hare , ( here / ore , a clear vested right of property in that soil : to tbe extent of full , comfortable , independent , and secure subsistence therefrom , wbich never could or can be parted witb , pass , or perish : and which no power on earth , nor any length of adverse possession , can take away , annul , bar , or diminish . 'That the people of Ireland have been for ages deprived of the benefit of their natural right of property' in their own soil , tbat their right has been in practical effect utterly defeated and divestedi and that it how requires to be asserted , enforced , and established . ' That tbe olaim of tbe occupying tenants of the soil to a full and sufficient subsistence out of the crops they bare raised / and to a sufficiency of seed for next year ' s crop , is prior and superior to every other claim whatsoever .

      * That tbe subsistence of the people of Ireland is in danger , and requires to be defended , protected , and secured . : That in defence of our rights of life , property , and security for subsistence we do hereby resolve and constitute ourselves into a public league or association , under tbe name of the Tipperary Tenant League . ' Mr J . Coemick , a tenant farmer , proposed the resolutions for _adoption by the meeting . Mr Dobeht came forward to second tbe motion , and was received with loud cheers . He said , —Mr Chairman , I appear here as a ; tenant farmer of Tipperary . ( Cheers . ) I appear here because I have a personal Interest , independent of the Interest I feel for the conntry at tbis most momentous crisis ; I appear here because

      a dark hour of danger has come upon Ireland , and because I believe if the" people be not true to themselves , they will have no protectors , no safety . ( Hear . ) I know it has been said by the English press that this would be an illegal meeting ; and I am here to say in reply , that we de not assemble to violate any law , but to see justice done to tbe people , ( Oheers . ) It bas alio been said by the English press that this meeting is the beginning of a crusade against rents . To that I answer , and say , no ; such is not our object . ( Cries of * No , no . ' ) Every man here is disposed and determined to pay his rent to his landlord . I for one believe the landlord is entitled to obtain a fair rent for his land , but , on the other , hand , I believe be has no right to an unfair rent , ( Cheers . ) , We did not come here to-day to resolve that the landlord

      should not increase his rent , but to ask his assistance to settle this question forever . ( Uear , and cbeers . ) I know that this county has obtained an unfortunate notoriety throughout the world . ' I knew it has been said that Tipperary is notorious for its , middar and midnight murders , I alto know that the direst cruelties have in most instances led to those murders ; and I ask the landlord , as well as the farmer , to redeem the county from _thiB stigma by now coming forward and entering into an amicable agreement with one another . What do we ask ? What do the tenant farmers , seek for . ! We hear this and other parts of Ireland blamed , and the north praised ; we are often told that the farmers in the north are industrious .. and comfortable , and . that we are wretched and idle . We ask to-day from the landlord *

      that we , the tenant-farmers in Tipperary , shall have [ the same security as is enjoyed by the tenants in the north of Ireland . ( Hear , hear . ) We demand no mors ; and I say firmly that _weshallbe satisfied with no less . ( Cheers , ) We demand that the bargain for land sball be the same as for a horse or cow , and that if the price of the land be given—a fair rational price , not settled , by the landlord alone , but by common consent between landlord and tenant—when that fair and reasonable price is given , we demand tbat the landlord shall bave no more right to take the land , as well as-tbe price of It , than any other man in the community . ( Cheers . ) , In the north of Ireland , when a man gets a farm , be knows be is secure in the possession of ; it so long as he pays the rent . He docs riot get a lease , but he has a title as good as the

      landlord ' s title to the estate . The landlord cannot remove him while he fulfils bis engagement . If the landlord wishes for the farm he must purchase the tenant ' s interest , like any otber man , provided the tenant be willing to part with it , for when the landlord parts with the possession , he parts with all right except his right to the rent agreed on , and the right to purchase baok bis own land fromthe tenant if he can , And this custom I . founded oh the idea , the just idea , tbat if the landlord bas a property in the soil , tbe tenant has a more sacred property In the sweat and blood he has expended on the farm , ( Cheers . ) A new process is going on now . We hear a good deal from England about tbe landlords of this eountry , Whigs , Tories , Radicals in that country have talked a great

      deal about the Irish landlords—about what they have done , and what tbey bave not done , ; Those English parties say , ' Ob , we will confiscate the property of the landlords . We will impose a rate to support . the poor which will confiscate theproperty of the landlords of Ireland . ' Now , what is the fact S Who pays the rate in the first instance * Is It not the struggling tenant 1 Hois , to be sure , to be allowed his proportion ofthe rate when he pays his rent , but not till then . I think it may be safely said that , as times go now , the day is rather , remote when he will be able fo pay his rent and meet the other demands made on him . I believe tbat auother year like tho past—nay , another half-year like the past—would reduce the landlords to tbe same state of poverty aa the tenants are now reduced to . A notion

      has lately become very popular among the landlords , . and has been very much promulgated among them , and it is tbis—that tbe _smalltenants should be got rid of in some way or other . They are a nuisance on the earthan eyesore on the estate ; and the man who would not cut up a tree tbat grows in his demesne is ready to root out the people whom God has created , and to whom he gave tbe world as an inheritance ., ( Loud cheers , ) He is ready to root them out , and too often does be do so _. But he is sometimes so compassionate , merciful , and generous , tbat he gives them assistance to struggle into the emigrant ships to escape from the fever at home , where at least tbey would have some one to attend them in . their UtneBs , to encounter the more fatal fever on the bosom of tbe ocean ,. where they can get no attendance at all ; and the end of tbis ia , that those who endeavour to escape from _"lokneas and death here , meet certain _siokness and death in far off lands , where there Is no one

      to offer up a prayer for the repose of . their souls , or at the last moment to compose the . members of the dying . Thus do many of the people die—thus are they cut off and burled in a foreign land , all through the kindness , compassion , and generosity of some of the landlords . ( Hear , hear . ) Now , will the people of Ireland quietly / tamely , and silently submit to the destruction or deportation of the small farmers ? ( 'No , no . ' ) Far be it from me to recommend that any violent means [ should be used to prevent the extermination er deportation of the small farmers , On the contrary , I believe tbat violent means would recoil on the beads of those wbo would i employ them ; but I depend on the voice of * the country ] —I rely for the protection of tbe small farmers on tbe steady , legal , powerful , and overwhelming public will ot the people . ( Cheers . ) Come you together , and come often Resolve firmly , and inthe face of Heaven , tbat these things shall not continue . Your landlords will

      get their rents—if they can ; tho Government will get back tbeir advances—if tbey can and the condition of tbe farmers will become worse and worse until tbey find their last resting place in the poor-house . ( Hear , hear . ) Itis in your power to avert tbis . The famine which Bwept away the people by thousands in Cork , Galway , and Mayo , never reached the _oounties of Ulster , where there are immense numbers of small farmers , but where tbey aro protected by the salutary , wise , and beneficent enstom of tenant-right , which we ask you here to adopt . Will you in every locality In your county adopt that custom a- far as you can do so without violating the lawt ( Cries of .. _« We will . ' ) "Will you take counsel togetber , how you can quietly and peaceably insist on tbe enforcement of that right ? Believe me , tbat coming here to-day from a distance to hear speeches and cheer whatever sentiments _, _raay be agreeable to you , is not the way

      to secure your ends . Your object can only be effected by each of you endeavouring in bis own locality to carry out the resolutions of this' meeting . Let eaoh man teach those principles to his neighbour , show him tbe true way to independence and comfort , and say to him— 'HereIs your home ; improve It ; raise yourself , and do not quit it . ' ( Cheers . ) For my part I most warmly respond to the hopes entertained by sanguine men for the redemp . tion of this beautiful land ; and I say it , witbout any at . tempt at flattery , you , the tenant farmers of Ireland , are the people of this country , Ireland has no other resource but her agriculture , and jou are tbe men out of whose blood and sweat is formed the only capital that Ireland has . Tou are tise men eut of wbose energies the strength of tbis land is derived , both in capital and physical power . I call on you to exerolse that strength now for the purpose of averting the last fatal

      calamity that ever befell a nation , namely , tbat ber ohildren should be banished to another clime , or tent into the poorhouse in order to increase tbe domains of the landlord . ( Hear . ) It is net my purpose to make you an exciting speech . I stated before tbat I expeoted no good from violence ; bat I do expect every good from a determined people becoming banded together for a good and noble purpose ; not hurried on by the impulse of the moment ; not wafted before tho breath of the popular feeling of to . day , but solemnly re . solving , in the depths of their hearts , to insist on the ful filmeutofthat covenant whioh God made between the holders and the tillers of the land .

      Tenant.Bight In Tipperary. The Following...

      defeasible to the soil of the nation ! The- sole tl le that a landlord bas to his property is tt » title that tbe law git-shlm . Ifthatbe . _W-onlytiaej . » nrely tbe lawcaB abridge er _nuBify _* bat _Mtt _^ _Sarely fte law can say-« ThU property _ii _^ _tpa ) _eyi _% _flaDJfot *> the c ° < _- < - _" - thatthe tiller _of'ibVsoil shall | ha _$ a perpetuity as endnrinf ' _asybur _' _owb . ' I _wonder nfbh at tbe landlords who iiy that theiaw cannoViriter / _Mwi-h the rights of property . _ilhlsiTaw has _alwa _% b _|» fered with a higher right of _pwpertyrtban ' _tbat ; of , _fte _^ andown er ; and I believe the landlords are equally anxious with tbe tenantry that the law sliould io Interfere to take away from the clergy _ene-fourth ofthe title—( hear )—and transfer It to their own pockets . Assuredly that same law , passed by tbe _Pailiamentlnlts omnipotence , can interfere with

      the title of the landlord—it can say te him , ' You shall take this land , subject' to the' condition of giving the tenant a perpetuity in his farm as , long aa he continues to pay the rent fixed upon it V ( Hear , hear . ) How Is the rent to be fixed upon f At . pwi . ent ,. there befog no other resource bnt jand In , this country , there are at least 5 , 008 persons lobking for each farm that is to be let . The rent is regulated not by what the land is really worth—not by compact between landlord and tenant ( for I deny that any arrangement having necessity forthe basis of it is a compact at all ) , but it is regulated by the great competition which unfortunately exists . The landlord , of _courie , tabesJadvantageXtbis , and lets his lands at the highest prioe whicb a man can offer—I denot say which a man oan pay ; for ih many instances the

      unfortunate tenants are unable to discharge half tbe amount ef their extravagant rents . ( Hear , hear . ) What do I propose ! I ask Parliament to interfere and pats a law immediately , or their law will come too late ; for it Is idle to suppose that this nation can endure much longer , tortured and oppressed as she is on all sides .. I Will not speak of her political condition , for I came here only to consult about the safest way of trans / erring tbe tenant right of Ulster to Tipperary . ( Loud cheering . ) I ask Parliament to interfere , and provide some means whereby the land can be set at a fair rent . I think that a system ef valuation would be the best plan that could possibly be adopted . Let unbiassed persons be selected , and sworn on oath to discharge the duties confided to thera with impartiality—let tbem set a fair value on the land ,

      and let the Legislature say , 'So much , and not one halfpenny more , you ( tbe landlord ) sball take for the land ; and further , the moment you admit a tenant into possession , he can bave the land as _long . _as you , provided he continues to pay the rent . ' , I do not deny that a landlord may sometimes have a necessity for a certain farm occupied by a tenant . If he does , let him pay for it like another man . In Ulster the landlord can sell the tenant right for arrears of rent ; but ; if he wishes to obtain possession of the holding of a man . who pays his rent , he muBt purchase him eut . . ( Hear , hear . ) I know there are many landlords listening tome new , I know that many landlords acted most kindly towards their tenants during the past year , not only Indulging tbeir tenantry , but contributing largely to tbe support of others . I Bay

      boldly thatl look upon the landlords as ; a olass of my countrymen , and tbat I would not sacrifice any class . ( Cheers . ) I Beek to do them no ' -. justice , but the contrary , I ask for tbe tillers of the soil a perpetuity of title in theland they cultivate . So far . from injuring the landlords . thereby , I give them the happiness which arises from the knowledge , of having done well . I give them the comfort of sitting down in their homes , and not only seeing themselves surrounded by every luxury and splendour , but of _knowing that in no cabin on tbeir estate is there a person without a meal j fori deny that any man can every be content , knowing that around him death is busy at bis work , remembering , that though he enjoys every luxury that wealth can procure , the men ,

      women , and children around him are the victims of an accidental famine . ( Hear , hear . ) There is another subject of considerable importance , wbich maybe alluded to here . Last year tbe entire potato crop was lost . The government had authentic information of that calamity early in July . At that time the corn laws were in existence , the effect of which was to prevent any foreign corn coming to England , in order that they might glean from this country every particle of her produce . Oats , barley , and wheat were all taken a way from lis tothe last grata , and why ! Because the government said the merchant ' s of England must be consulted , A fatality followed that export of our provisions . Tbe people died in myriads—• o fast did they perish that ia Cork a single coffin sufficed for one parish .

      A Voice : Was that the coffin witb the false bottom ? ( Laughter . ) MrDoHBHT : Yes , that was the coffin with the false bottom . These Whigs are very fond of economy ; they carried their . practice to the grave , and made a profit even out of the grim produce of death , for the coffin that was _nsod to carry the father of a family to his grave one day was used to convey his wife and ohildren to the next . ( 'Ob , oh , ' ) Ii tbat to occur again ! ( Loud cries of 'Kb , no , ') We bad as much wheat and oats as would have provided for our people . What became of it ! It was taken away to feed the English people . Lord John Russell , in effect , said , ' There are a certain number of people who live on potatoes , and a certain number who live on bread . Now , the potato crop is lost ; still those

      who have lived on bread must continue to have it , and _thosewho have hitherto lived on the potato must die , there Is no help for it . ' ( Hear , bear , ) But the English merchants have their turn now ; Dire adversity has come updo a great many of . that class for whose benefit the lives ef the Irish people were sacrificed . Rich houses have been smashed and overwhelmed in ruin—creditors have gone to their doors , whicb they found closed sgainst them . During the time the distress was at its height in Ireland the _EDjrii > h _menrpf-war were " ying . idle in the decks , and the government peremptoril y refused to allow them to be used in carrying food to save tbe Irish people from starvation . But tbe American nation , against whom some of na have even fought , perceived our miseries from afar , and determined to alleviate them , and tbeir chBrlty

      supplied to the starving subjects of tbe mistress of the ¦ aa , in vessels conquered from her power , the food wbich she refused , to give us . ( Loud cheering . ) The government would not interfere to save the lives of the Irish people lest the trade of _theBritish merchants should suffer , but they were not able to restrain the hand of charity which was extended to us from beyond the wave by that glorious nation whose star spangled banner is the emblem of freedom , ( Loud cheers . ) Well , the merchants , to favour whom the people were left to starve , bave suffered as well as the people , and another year has comeanother year has come—and what Ib to be done ! Tbis may be a delicate subject to speak upon , but I for one will not shrink from tlie free and honest expression of my opinion as to what course ought to be pursued , I

      say , come what may , the people shall not be left to starve again , ( Cbeers . ) I bave no fears , but to prevent this we shall have tbe concurrence of landlord as well as farmer ,, of tradesman aB well as mechanic , and of labourer as well as any . I suppose no man will say tbat tbe people ought to be exposed to starvation , or that they should die . of want for want bf the food raised en tbeir own land . . Do I recommend you to keep that food by force ? Far from it . Bat let us combine for the ose object—the salvation of the people . Let { lie landlord * _, and tenants themselves buy up the food with their ownmoney for one-sixth of the price tbey will have to pay if they let it leave their shores . Let England provide a market for herself . Let her goto the Baltic—let her ransack Poland and scour America for food ; but let her

      leave us our own . ( A voice , ' Let her buy yellow meal , we'll have no more soup kitchens , ') Now , what should be done to effect our object t We have onl y to combine among ourselves—to unite all classes in an effort to save the people , It will be in vain to rely ou the British minister . He has been false before in the hour of our need , and he cannot be true now ; nor ; can we rely on the Parliament , for it is tbe Parliament of England , not of the empire . It will be idle and useless to call upon it for assistance for it would not heed us—it has but little concernfor ub . The few Irish members who go there and speak the truth are scoffed at , and even if all the Irish members attended there daily , and made out the best and most conclusive case for tbeir country , they are

      too few in number , end would be outvoted b y the British political economists , who would again sentence the people to starvation , Well , bave we tbe means ot protecting ourselves at home ! I say that we can protect _ourselveB if we please . Not only should there be found enough left in each parish to feed the people , but to provide seed for next year . Some of tbe landlords boasted last year what they would de on tbis point , One able landlord in tbis county , MrBernal Osborne , promised the farmers on his estate time for the seed of an acre of Swedish turnips ( _laughter ) , and of course the English press was loud in praise of his generosity . His fame was sounded from Slievtnamon to tbe Devil ' s Bit . ( Laughter . ) At a meeting in Dublin last year he said we never should beg from England ; that we should not

      be beggars at her door for food or seed . He said , the landlords would take care of their own tenants . Well , truly , he did take care of his , He gave eaoh of them time tor the cost of one pound of turnip seed , from spring until harvest . ( Laughter . ) In his great beneficence he generously and nobly forebore to charge his tenants interest for the sum of Is . 6 d , ( Laughter . ) Well , let us not ' tray from tbe subject . I confess I find it difficult —most difficult—to confine myself strictly to any one subject of the many which call fer remark , On looking over tbe _fieldof horrors wbich ouroonditioa as a miserable province has spread out before us , It is bard to say whioh is 'he roost horrible . But let us come baok to the subject of food . I cannot see tbat there would be any difficulty in forming a committee in each parish , to see how much oats not to talk of wheat , there was for foodand seed . The

      people have not the means now they had before , and this is a question for the consideration of Ian Uord as well as peasant , fer no matter what the landlord ' s power may be—let him be able to wield tbat full force of the iniqui . _touBlaws made by landlords for tbeir own use and interest , and against the tenant—let him have the _unconquered army ef England , with her ships of war , and all her power and might to assist and back him , he cannot make a starving man pay rent , ( Hear , hear . ) The people will pay the rent whenever they are able , but it it impossible for them to pay what they have not . I call upon you to meet your engagements where you can—I ask you te pay the landlord his rent as far as you can . Pay to the last farthing where you are able ; but I only repeat the counsel of Almighty God , which tells us that we are not to starve for the sake of meeting any demand , ( Oheers . ) And now this may be sneered at in certain

      quarters . It may be sneered at in _TSngUnd , and we may be called a reckless , violent , lawless people . But no matter . This great principle is beginning to be felt , and it shall be acted on . The tenantry of Tipperary at least understand tbeir position—I trust they understand their strength also ; for all constitutional law _inEngland i-

That there never can be peace , happiness , or permanent safety in Ireland until this code is totally abrogated . That any la w regulating the relt . tion of landlord and tenant in Ireland , tobe just , satiafactory , and enduring , should be based on the principle ! of tenant right as established and prevailing in the pro . vince _ofUlster _, and sbould recognise the tenant ' s interest in the soil as a perpetuity , provided he pay a fair and reasonable rent to the landlord . That your petitioners respectfully call for a speedy adjustment of tbat question on these principles , and they shall , as in duty bound , ever pray . '

      A Woman Killed By Her Husband. A Dreadfu...

      A WOMAN KILLED BY HER HUSBAND . A dreadful affair occurred at Manchester on Sa . turday evening . A man , named Thomas _Cankj _, employed at the Farm-yard Tavern , Bradford-road , lived with hia wife , who is named Eliza , and four children , at a small house , No . 6 , Swallow _' _a-court , Bradford-road . On his return home between sis sod seven o clock , he found his wife absent , and no tea got for himself or children . He made tea him * self , and while partaking of it his wife entered . Ha reproached her with not getting bis tea ready . She replied with bitter taunts . Words ran high betireen them , and at length the man ' s passion was raised to such a pitch , tbat he rushed towards his wife with the intention of striking her . An interference , of

      course well meant , on tbe part of a neighbour , nearly prevented , but that in all probability was tbe cause of the death of tho wife ; for Gawley , prevented irom chastising his wife as he originally intended , raised his foot and gave one kick , which appears to have been just within reach of the person of his wife . That one blow was enough . The poor creature felt herself mortally hurt , entreated tbat a doctor might be sent for , sank upon the sofa , and notwithstanding that medical assistance was very shortly obtained , died in about three-quarters of an hour afterwards . There is no reason to suppose tbat he intended the kick he aimed at his wife should cause her death , forthe moment he perceived _shs waa hurt be showed the greatest contrition , went for the doctor , and probably would have given worlds to recall the blow ; and no doubt whatever exists that he suffered great provocation from his wife ; but surely no amount of provocation can _iustifv the in *

      human , ferocious kicking of a defenceless woman . _Seeingthefatalresult of his passion , tho husband , by the advice of his neighbours , went and delivered himself np to tho police . He was bronght op at tha Borough Court on Monday , before Mr Hodgson , Al * derman Walker , and Alderman Watkins ; and tha police officer to whom he delivered himself up having briefly stated the case against him , he was remanded in consequence of the unavoidable absence ofthe medical gentleman . The prisoner , who appeared to be about 40 years of age , wept bitterly , and seemed to regret acutely the consequence of thus giving way to passion . His deceased wife is said to _T _> e in ber _* 7 th year . The inquest on the body of the ill-fated woman was held last evening , at the Bridge Inn public-house , _Mill-street , Bradford-road , before Mr Chapman , borough coroner , when tke aWe facta _weresworn to by witnesses . The jury returned a verdict of * Manslaughter . '

      Frightm Accinuni Op Thb Eninbtooh Asd Gu...

      FRIGHTm _AcCinUNI OP THB EniNBTOOH ASD Gusqow Railwat . —About half-past one o ' clock this ( Tuesday ) morning , an accident of a frightful nature occurred at the Queen-street terminus , Glasgow , of the above railway line . It appears that a luggage train from Edinburgh , oncoming down the incline from the Cowlairs station , acquired such a velocity , while passing through the tunnel , that tha men stationed at the breaks had not sufficient power to arrest its progress . The train was heard by several parties m Q , ueen _* street coming down the incline at such a rapid pace as to excite alarm , when , almost immediately after , a tremendous _orash was heard which shook the neighbourhood . On reaching the scene of tbe _catrastronhe . we found that thn train

      had , with the fearful momentum it had acquired , penetrated about fifty feet into one ofthe railway company a stores , situated above the Star Hotel , bringing down in its headlong career a thick stone gable and two stone partitions , and entering into two of the offices connected with the store . The scene of ruin that here presented itself was most appalling ; three breaks , with a number of trucks - lying piled above one another , and covered with the stones of the gables and partitions , and the beams , rafters , and flooring of the storehouse , were lying together in one mingled mass . We understand that there were four or five men on the trucks at tho timo ; throe have escaped with their lives , although two of them are severely injured , and two are still _missing , one of whom , James Macarthur , a married man , was seen on the foremost break immediately

      before the collision took place , and therecan be little doubt that he has met his death among the rubbish . One of the guards leaped off the train as it emer ged from the tunnel , and escaped with a slight cot ob the head and a few bruises , the other two who _hava been found , were got lying among the ruins senseless , covered with large stones , but recovered , _« - about twenty minutes after , so far as to be able to speak . They are both very severely bruised , but , fromthe confusion that prevailed at the station , we were unable to learn the particulars concerning them , or the names of the parties . We believe that medical aid was promptly on the spot , and everything dene that could alleviate the sufferings ot the parties hurt . Men were busily engaged in examining and _jemoving the rubbish , to discover , it tbey could , the bodies of those missin g , —North - '"* tish Mail .
