      _3 ohi » Aesoxt , _Sohebs Towh , is thanked for his friendly ttcte . Oa tire ___ ul _* ject matter of that note we Shall act as we have ever acted—on our own conviction of what is most beneficial to the interest of all sections of the _labourite ; classes , and not for one _section of them only . The _Sbriiern Star , in our bands , is nut a thing lo \> c -used according to tlie whim or caprice of a mere sex of conceited " _poiiticiane , " who have so learned their _leRftfnof "liberty *' a 6 to deny libtrty not only in their _ownconduct towards each other , but also to the press , - which , without full and _c-lieeriully-accor'Jed freedom , _Is-Mieof the bitterest curses that can bc inflicted on a Jpe *_& e _ i but itis an instrument to be used for the _ex-Tposwe of wrong and the _upholding of rl _.-ht , wherever ' found .

      * _* naH drive us from this course . If there are any who ' are so narrow and contracted in their views—so monopolizing in spirit—and so unreasonable iu conceit , as to demand the continual _iRSertiOn in OUT pages Of ihe thousand-times told tale , of what was done ill thc sacred name of liberty at fhe _P . g-and- "Whistle—and tliis too to the exclusion of matter which intimately and immediately concerns hundreds of thousands of _toiling operatives , whose savings for . years are in _dagger ; if there te any of tins sort , who think they can accomplish such an olgect as this with us by notes such as that Mr . Arnott has forwarded , they are strangely mistaken . They must tiy their attempt at coercion

      elsewhere , if they would have it successful . _Porour-EcJves , as Jong as judgment is left us , wc Shall CVer prefer to do our utmost to thwart thennjust oppressions of thousands , _andexposetbenefariousness of those who ROB the workman of his hard-earned savings ; wc shall prefer to do tliis when occasion calls for it , even to the trumpeting forth the " sound and fury" of those whe "hate all tyranny "—except _Uitiroicn : who are " deadly foes to all oppression" —to which they may think _tftcmseUusubjected : whose " effortsforliberty "— ( to " de-Bounce ")—are undying ; and who are filled with such insufferable conceit as to imagine tliat all other considerations must wait on tlieir convenience . If there

      are among the army of " patriots" any who cannot afford to let us do this , why they must e'en mend themselves as they best can . Sons _GktJndv , Prestos , _migttknow that Mr . O'Connor is not in -London , nor has beeu for some weeks past . Mr . Cooper , 151 , Blackftiar _' s-roaa , begs to acknowledge the receipt of the tallowing sums for the "Veteran _Ffitriots' and Exiles' "Widows' and Children ' s Fund : — Mr . Crow , Leicester ( being a subscription originally intended for Mr . Cooper ' s relief ) , 17 s . 3 d . ; Mr . Rogers , Lambeth , 2 s . Cd . ; Mr . Sweetlove , Cd . ; Mr . Miller , 2 d . ; Mr . Bradley , Leicester , one _dozen postage stamps . T / C , of Hobslet , in Gloucestershire , sends us the following , under the head "Doings in _Horsley Gaol : "— " A few days ago , ' Jack Ketch' arrived at Horsier , from _Gloucester , in a beastly state of intoxication , to per .

      form' a duty' which the brute says he takes a pleasure -in—viz ., that of flogging . Ou this occasion he operated on a boy , who was tied up to the iron gate by the turnkey . His cries were heart-rending , intimately the _Isoy fainted ; but the hangman kept at his infernal work , till stopped Ly Mr . Wells , the surgeon to the gaol . The hoy , a fatherless orphan , had been tried and convicted for not g iving a satisfactory account as to how be _> _got possession of a bible . The inhabitants of Ilorsley are looking forward to the sessions at Gloucester , to know what -will be the sentence of lews , the watchman of the gaol , he being fully committed for stealing coals from the prison , while he Lad 15 shillings a week to prevent others from stealing . At Gloucester assizes , not long back , the governor ' s son , who was then an _effiesr of the gaol , was tried for administering drugs to

      - one Sarah Cibbs , a prisoner , to procure abortion ; but he got acquitted . He lost bis situation , and is now residing in London . Tr . s Dixon Fcsd Committee beg to _acknowledge the receipt of 7 s . from Brighton , per Mr , "William Flower . —Thomas Wliitt-dker _, treasurer , 63 , _Dcvonsllire-strect , -Charlton-on-Medlock , Manchester . A ., _Man-cuestee . —Mis letter _wa-s _* eceiv « d , and declined . Tbomas Fbaxcis , Mektiits Tydvil . —We see little cause to complain in the case he names . He was referred to _« party who granted his requesr . Thus everything was doae that lie required . In answer to his other query , the Poor Alan ' s Companion is in the press , and will be shortly in the publisher ' s hands . ISse Fbekch _Lascuage—T . _XFilsox , _Kolvozx . —We have no faith in those publications professing to teach

      the French language without the aid ot n master . We are convinced that the best , shortest , and , in the end , cheapest way to acquire a thorough knowledge of any foreigii language , is _tolearnltfromthelipsof a professor of the language . If our « orrespondent desires to - learn the French language , as he says , " speedily and -correctly , " we recommend him-to place himself under tlie tuition of Mr . Boyer , professor of fhe French Ian : _£ uage , Xo . 9 , Agar-street , "West Strand . "We believe M . Boyer to be fuUy competent to impart to his pupils a thorough knowledge ofhis country ' s language , which no book , no matter how much puffed , can possibly impart of itself . absow Pit . —The following letter we extract from the J , Tombif Chronicle : —Sir , —Such is the dangerous state of Jarrow Pit . from want of ventilation and by

      discharges of gas , that not more than about twenty miners have gone to work since the explosion , a great number of the tn «\ having _EougU work elsewhere . Ihere are still many in thc houses _belonging to tbe CoUierv , but who hare gotnofice to quit if they will not proceed , at the certaiu risk of their lives , to work -in this dangerous mine . One man called Atkinson , whose son was kUled at the explesion , and whose body vcas _brought home to liim piecemeal—limb by limb , -and almost headless—which was buried atfivedifierent times , as found—he also hns had notice to quit his _ iouse if he will not immediately proceed to labour , _amidst the scene ofhis sou ' s dreadful death . _Callousness and heartlessness such as this , it U seldom a Brijish public is witness to . The owner , who lives on . the spot , caa scarcely be cogutzant of such doings , for J see his name down for a handsome subscripjt ! on for the widows and orphans ; and

      moneylie . _knows-, is not everything even to tne poor . ' _ Ifrq * ort speaks truly , thi 3 pit is in as bad a state as ever , and the commissioners sent by the ( tOVCrnment havc _^ one away for the _present it is said , to returnagain for further investigation . They have a serious . endknportantduty to perform ; itis hoped they trill net content themselves with a mere visit to tlie mine , like their predecessors at Haswoll , who , consequently , fell Into the most ridiculous errors , but tliat Sir Henry De la _Bedie and Dr . _Playfair will malic a thorough . and seaBdiing investigation , such as becomes their . names , honourable to the Government that has _ap-^ pointed th _? m , and useful to the important subject Vinder their _. care . I take leave to transmit this com-. _Tpnnicatu . n . _-lo you rather than to the local press : your _jjnn . is long _ and strong—theirs , unfortunately , weak and trembling when thc cause of tha poor aud the interest of-the jrich may he involved .

      The Late Stabbisg Case at Hounslow _Bauhacks . —On Saturday hist Lieutenant Kerwan , of the dth Light Dragoons , charged with having stabbed Quartermaster Tarleton , of the same _regiment , the particulars of which were given ill this paper _bl Saturday last , was brought hefore a beneh ol " magistrates , at Breutford , for further examination . Mr . Edward Smith Graham deposed that he was surgeon in the 4 th Regiment of Light Dragoons , lie had in consequence of the iniiiction of the injury been _attending Quartermaster Tarleton , and last saw him that morning at eleven o ' clock . The wound in the abdomen had been inflicted with A sharp instrument . Witness considered him progressing very favourably , considering the nature of the wound he had received , and he entertained hopes of his ultimate recovery .

      lie did not consider there was any danger at present . He should say now he was out of danger , and that the wound was healing fast . Mr . John Mure deposed that he was assistant-surgeon in the 4 th regiment of Lig ht Pragoons . He now considered the patient _quitcout of danger . Similar evidence was given by another medical gentleman , anil the chairman said thc magistrates had considered the evidence of the medical men , and also that the occurrence had been without any deliberation , and had come to the determination to admit the accused to hail , _himkcll in the sum of £ 500 , and two sureties in £ 250 , for his Appearance at that court ou that day fortnight , further to answer the charge . The requisite recognisances having been gone into , Lieut , li . crw . an bowed to the magistrates and left the court , _acesmpanied by his brother officers and friends , and immediately quitted the p lace on their way to Hounslow _liarracksf .

      Fire at Hollowat . —On Monthly afternoon , between one and two o ' clock , a serious fire broke out npon thc premises of Mr . Flowers , abuilder , residing atQueen ' s-road , llolloway . The fire waa first discovered in the workshop , at thc rear of thc dwelling house , containing a large quantity of building materials , wliich , in con-cqueiiccof thc flames spreading so quickly , were entirely consumed . Several engines were soou on the spot , and the fire was extinguished , but not before property worth several hundred pounds was consumed . The adjoining buildings , stables , ( tc , were very much damaged . Air . Flowers is not insured , and the cause of the fire could not he learned .

      _Fiite at Sono . —On Tuesday , about noon , a fire broke out upon thc premises of Messrs . Kingwall and Weeks , wheelwrights ? , whose manufactory is situate in Crown-street , Soho . The flames were first discovered in the workshop raging with great fury , which soon communicated to a large quantity of timber . In the meantime information was forwarded to the _iVest of England , the County and Brigade firestations , and in a very short space of time the respective eugiues arrived at the lire with a large bod y of men . A good supply of water being obtained , the firemen were able , after considerable difficulty , to subdue t ' _-: e flames , which were confined to the above premises , but not before pro"erty to a grc . it amount was destroyed . The fire is supposed to have been caused hy it spark falling fivm a heated iron on some shavings ! The parties are insured .

      Smugglers' Revcxge . —A letter from Ilarburg ( Hanover ) , dated the 2 oth ult ., in the Gazette des _Tribunavx , says : — " On the night of the 23 rd ult . the village of Flehrshcrg , situated near Ilarburg , was the scene of a dreadful act of revenge . A little after twelve o ' clock six men , dressed like Harburg sailors , each carrying on his back a large parcel , landed in front of the Custom-house port , not far from the conilux of the Seve and the Elbe . The moment they landed tkey hastened to _Fleshrsbarg , and entered precipitately the _eourt-j-ard of a house standing by itself . About a dozen of the Custom-house men followed close at their heels , and they in fact entered the gate together with them . The moment all were inside the walls , the gate was at o ? . ce closed , and a

      number of men attacked the officers with sticks , beating them most cruelly . They then tore out their eyes , and mutilated them dreadfully , after which they made off . A patrol that happened to pass , hearing their groans , entered the yard , and removed them to the hospital of Ilarburg , where they had been paid every attention , though no hope is entertained of saving their lives . Two men have been since arrested , and thay without hesitation acknowledged that they formed part of a great number of smugglers who determined to entice the Customhouse officers into a snare , and take vengeance on them . They have , however , refused to state tiie names of their accomplices . The packets were found in the court-yard ; they were filled with saw-dust . "

      AwFi-rx-r Supbex DE / . Tn . —On Tuesday Mr . Baker held an inquest-it the King of Prussia , Dean-street , _( _jOuld ' _s-lnU , Sliadwell , on thebody of Richard Baylcy , aged 53 , a seaman . It appeared hy the evidence of liis landlady , Mi's . Vernan , of Dean-street , that he had but recently returned from a long voyage . On Saturday night last he ate a hearty supper and retired to rest in a good state of health . On the following morning he complained of being chilly , and said he would get a little rum and water ; he went out for the purpose : he returned in about ten minutes , sat down by the fire , fell back almost instantly , and expired without a groan . Mr . Atkins , a surgeon , attributed death to spasms . Verdict _accordingly .

      Extexsivk Seizure of Goods by the Revexuk Officers . —Thc present time appears rife iu the seizure of goods of the most valuable description , by the oflieers of the customs , which have by some _meanB been obtained by the parties holding them without payment of the proper duties due thereon on importation into this coustry . A day or two since notice was made of an extensive seizure of goods , consisting of cameos , . fee , and previous notice has been made of the successful operations of tvyo more of the customs officers in another quarter in the capture of a large quantity of watches . If we be correctly informed , which there is not tlie slightest reason to doubt , the officers alluded to will , before tliev have completed their operations , make one of

      the most extraordinary and extensive seizures of the same valuable description of merchandise , and that in the most circuitous manner which has been under notice for a very considerable space of time . The first seizure made by them was in London , which gave them a duo to a further quantity at thc port of Liverpool . Their information in the second instance was so sure and unerring , that they pounced upon the parties and the goods without the slightest dUHculty , and as if they were already to their hands , although they met with desperate resistance from the parties concerned—foreigners , we believe—and it ' was ultimately found necessary to obtain the assistance of the nblice before they were enabled to depart

      with their captnre in safety , and to preserve them from being assailed and severely injured . This further seizure at Liverpool led to a variety and vast amount of information being furnished to the same officers , which caused them to return immediately to London , where they have since prosecuted their searches and inquiries to a very wide extent , and have succeeded in making several subsequent seizures of the same article . In fact , by some means , these officers have , from what we can understand , evidently got a clue which will ultimatel y enable them to ' obtain possession of , and restore to the revenue , thc largest amount of contraband goods of this very valuable description which has hitherto been heard of .

      _Melancholy Accident . —An accident of a , very melancholv nature , and which has caused a deep sensation in Perth , happened on Monday forenoon . A sort of rivalry had been got up between two ofthe pleasure-boats belonging to Perth , as to which was the fastest sailer . It was agreed to run a race to Dundee on Saturday , and back on Monday , to test their respective capabilities . They both accordingly set off on Saturday , but one of them had not proceeded any distance below the Friarton , when , finding the wind too heavy , she put in shore and returned . The other continued her course , and reached Dundee in safety . On herreturn on Monday , she was caught in a squall about three miles below _JJewburgh , and upset , and two out ofthe three on board weredrowned . Their names are Matthew Taylor , 40 years employed as a boatman on the river , and Mr , Simpson , somo time ago a grocer in the High-street .

      The Late Stabbisg Case At Hounslow Bauha...

      Fatal Accidkxt at the Treasury , Whitehau .. — On Tuesday afternoon Mr . Bedford held an inquest atthe _Clwquevs , T « t , hi . i-street , Westminster , on the body of Charles Wihfy , aged 42 , a mason , who Oil Monday last fell head foremost from a scaffold erected at the back front of the Treasury oflices , and fractured his skull . The deceased was a very sober , steady man , and had been upwards of _eighteen years in Mr . Cubitt ' s employ . Verdict , Accidental death . _ACCIUEKf ON THE GREAT NORTH OF E . _VCLAXO Railway . —The mail train from London left the Gateshead Station of the Newcastle and Darling ton Railway as usual , nt half-past three o ' clock on Saturday afternoon , and reached Darlington at

      twentyseven minutes past five . After the usual detachment and accession of carriages the train left thc station at thirty-seven minutes past five , and then consisted of the engine and tender , a _luggnge-Yan ( on which the guard who coinmunieated this account was placed ) , t , vo second-class carriimes , two carriagetrucks belonging to the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway Company , three first-class carriages , the mailvan and sorting carriage , a carriage-truck , and a horse-beer . _Among those who joined the train at Darlington were Mr . and Mm . Whitehead , of Manchester , who had booked to the _Normanton station , and they occupied the compartment next the engine , ef the first of the three first-class carriages , thc other end being a coupe . They had a private carriage and

      horses b y the same conveyance , and were returning home after a short excursion among their fri- 'tuls . About a mile aud a half north of the Oowton station , which is the second from Darlington , the attention of the guard was drawn to thc accident by the breaking of the coupling-bar between thc _lugi _ agc-vnn and the _carriages , whieU . drove in tiic end of the van . On turning round aud looking back , he observed that they had iert a portion of the train behind , and he immediately gave a signal to the engincnian to stop , wliich was done after proceeding about three hundred yards further—the train having been previously going at tiie rate of about thirty miles an hour . The engine having been detached from the van was sent on to Cowton to step the train expected from

      the south ; atter which the guard returned along the Hue , nearly a quarter of a mile , where he found thc two second-class carriages _standing on the rails , not much injured ; nbont 51 ) yards further , the first of the carriage trucks was standing on its stock on the rails , the wheels and axles having been completely taken from under it . The second truck was about * _J 0 yards further , and about 40 yards past that tke three ( irstehiss carriages were thrown together in such a manner that it is surprising the injury to the passengers was not greater than it has been . The first carriage was thrown upon its end , the coupe end uppermost , and the lower end embedded in the earth , and in the anterior eompartmentof the second _carriace , which was thrown Oh its side across the

      rails . The third was also off the line . The mail van and sorting carriage were upright , butthe wheels were off the rail , and deeply embedded in the earth . Tke rails were much bent , and the ground ploughed up for several yards . His attention was first directed to the situation of the passengers , and he found that Mrs . Whitehead , by the assistance of Major Parker , tbe superintendent of the line , in succession to Capt . _O'lirien , and who wns fortunately travelling with the train , had been removed from the carriage , having sustained very serious injury , it being at first thought that both her legs were broken above the knee . She was placed on thc bank , the accident having occurred in a deep cutting , and every aid was rendered by Mr . Parsons of York , and Mr . Boyd , from the firm of

      Abbott and Co ., of Gateshead , who were passengers by the train . Mr . Whitehead , who was in the same compartment with his wife , sustained no serious personal injury , but his feelings were , of course , much excited by the situation ofthe unfortunate lady . The passengers in the second carriage were buried under the coupe of the first one , which was also filled , and some delay took place in extracting them from their perilous position ; but , when that was effected , it was happily found that nona of them had sustained any injury beyond a few sli ght blows and scratches . Mrs . Whitehead , we ave happy to state , is pronounced out of danger . Both her legs are broken , the left leg below the knee , and the right above it ; but the last accounts state that she is going on favourably .

      Axotbbb Account . —Wo learn , from information that can be relied upon , t _* hat on _^ Saturday night last an accident of a very serious kind took place on the Great North of England Railway , about four miles on the York side of Darlington . It appears that at the York station on Saturday night considerable surprise was manifested at the arrival of the engine Of the mail train , then over due , bearing thc letter bags but without the travelling _post-oih ' ce and passenger carriages . Upon inquiry , it was found that at the place above mentioned , owing to the breaking of the wheel of a truck which was attached midway amongst the passenger carriages , a lamentable occurrence had taken place . On the breakage of this wheel the truck was thrown off the line during

      the time that the engine was proceeding at its usual rapid mail speed . This caused a concussion of the passenger carriages , three of which were dashed together , the centre one being literally lifted on its end , bearing upright against another , the rest of thc carriages being much shattered . Our informant states , so sudden was the shock thatscarcely a scream was heard , although the carriages were tilled with passengers , many of whom were ladies and children _, lie understood that no lives were lost , although several ladies and gentlemen were severely cut and bruised . One young married lady , whose name in the hurry was not ascertained , but who it was said was well connected in thc neighbourhood , received a compound fracture of one of her thighs , the other leg being also broken . The unfortunate lady , whose

      husband was with her in the train , wns with difhculty removed from the shattered timbers of the carriage and borne on one ofthe doors toaneighbouring _| fariuhouse , where surgical assistance was of course promptly procured . She now lies there in a dangerous state . We have not as yet been enabled to ascertain the extent of thc injuries sustained by tho passengers , It may be as well to observe that in the shock one of the carriages was thrown across the rails , and had not the express train from York to the north been rather lat _? _^ as it fortunately happened , another dreadful accident might have ensued , the night being dark and rainy ; there would not have been time to remore it , and the spot where the accident happened is that where the trains pass each other on thc line .

      Mei _ a _\ choi . y Accident . — KIRKCUDBRIGHT , Oct . i . —A melancholy loss of life occurred here on the night of Tuesday , or early on the morning of Wednesday last . Robert Cunningham , of Linkcns , occupying the farm of Nether Boreland , off the town of Kirkcudbright , having been in the parish of Bourgc in the course of Tuesday , taking sheep to grass parks there , took his seat in Forrest ' s coach from Newton-Stewart , about Barharrow , in Bourge . On the coach crossing the ferry at Kirkcudbright , lie was requested to keep his seat , but he declined , came off the coach , saying— "No no ; I don't wish to be drowned hi . i coach { alluding to a recent accident which occurred at thc ferry ); when I am drowned , I shall be drowned on my feet . " He crossed the ferry , went to the inn at which the coach stopped , paid his fare , and in company with a friend walked ont of town as far as the Miliburn on his way home , _whenlhis friend parted

      with him , and bade him good night . This might be about ten o ' clock . There are reasons for believing that he was seen about an hour later by Robert Hannah , the _jiost runner from Tarff-bridge , about half a mile out of town , at eleven o ' clock ; but from this hour no further trace of liim can be had till about half-past five on Wednesday morning , when his body was found lying in the doek at Kirkcudbright , on its back on thc sand , the tkle having receded from the spot two hours at least before the body was found _, trom further inquiries it ha g been ascertained , that cries ofa shrill and urgent nature were heard in the direction of thc dock , about twenty minutes before two o ' clock , at which time it is supposed the gentleman unfortunately , under the impression that he had left his horse at Castlcsod , retraced his steps to Kirkcudbright , with the viewof re-crossing the ferry , and the night being very dark , missed his way , and stepped over the quay , which is quite unprotected , and fell into the dock .

      Alleged Murder at _Camoerweli .. — On Monday night , between eleven and twelve o ' clock , Benjamin Booth , a plasterer by trade , died at No . 2 , Alp hacottages , Camberwell , from injuries inflicted upon him on Monday morning by a man named John Walsh . It appears that the deceased , Walsh , and a third man slept in the same room , and Walsh being the first up in the morning , Booth accused him of taking Is . Gd . from his pocket . Wal 3 h denied the accusation , and went into the next room , which was occupied by a journey man tailor named Leeney , and complained to . that person of the false accusation that had just been made against him , and seizing a sleeve-board , rushed to the room where Booth still remained in bed . He immediately attacked the unfortunate man while he was in bed , and struck him several severe blows about the head with the sleeve board . Booth , however , manaced to get out

      ( of bed ; but before he eould grasp his murderous assailant he received several additional blows about ! the head and upper part ofhis person . The third man by this time got oui of bed , and forcing _bimself between the parties , separated them , when Walsh made the best ofhis way out of the liouse . Booth , though severely injured , was able to get out of bed , and take one or two cups of tea . Soon after , however , he was seized with SCYWUS illness and stupor , and the symptoms were so alarming that Mr . Morris , the parish doctor , was sent for . That gentleman immediatel y attended , and used every means that medical skill could devise to relieve the unfortunate man , but it was to no purpose ; the poor fellow breathed his last shortly after eleven o ' clock . Information of the occurrence was forwarded to the Camberwell station , and the police are in pursuit of Walsh .

      destruction of a whole train of passengers . Shortly after the train had left _Dunford-bridge , and while it was dark , a shock waa received , whicli threw both engine and train oif the line , very seriously injuring several of the carriages , and almost crn ' _shing the guard to death . As soon as the passengers could bigot out ofthe carriages , it was ascertained that a cow had _got upon , the line , and the engine had come in Violent contact With it . -The poor animal was cut nearly in two , and , of course , killed on the spot . I-.-formation was immediately sent to the Sheffield station , aiid n pilot engine promptly despatched at ten o ' clock at night . It returned at midnight , with a portion of the passengers upon tho tender , and immediately on setting them down , started again for the remainder , with sufficient _carriiigos , _arriving again at SlicfKcld about two in the morning .

      Finn AT Dalstox . — On Wednesday morning , shortly after twelve o ' clock , a destructive fire broke out in a largo newly-built house , situate at thc corner of Ingcrtieid-road _, Dalstnn , the property of Mr . L . England , ¦ a builder . The fire commenced in the lower floor , from some cause at present unknown ; it then extended to the upper part of tiie building , destroying in its progress the whole of the interior . The flames were not mastered before the premises were quite gutted . It is onl y about two months since that the same person had a large double house destroyed by a similar disaster . Fortunately in the present instancehe was insured .

      Horrors of Sj . ay _ sht . --A letter from Martinique ( Jfreach colony ) gives the following horrible story : — "A planter , named Lilian , of Chamo Florcs , about two leagues from St . Pierre , has just committed a crime worthy of none above the savage Anthropophagi , on the persou of a slave Jad scarcely twelve years _o'd , named Lcandre , alias Je & n _Uaptlste . This unfortunate bt > y was the son of an African woman , whose language is more the peculiar patois of the p lantation negroes than our intelligible French , and nho is in a State of pregnancy . For some time the young Lcandro had been receiving , by way ol aliment * , !) , frequent ' j _postigation ? , more or less rigorous , until the term to his sufferings , which wa > reserved to his heartless master , was produced , and his last sigh of anguish was given on the W »

      of Julv , 18-15 , ho being literally tcourgeil to death Previous to this melancholy termination of hie cxisence , and while subjected to a series of i he mostcruel tortures , his inhuman master cut off the poor boy ' s left car , and , what is still more horrid , had it minced up with the excrements of pigs and dogs , and offered in the shape of food to tho tortured Leandre , who was forced to eat it , at the same time receiving on the head a severe contusion , to which his death has been ascribed by those medical men who examined the corpse . After having thus performed the office ol executioner upon his young slave , Iahan , on the Sth , attended the corpse to ihe burial-place , as tf nothing extraordinary had happened . But the mother had been witness to the tortures inflicted on her childhad seen him murdered—and had been several times

      tied down to the pickets and flogged i ' or daring to weep over thc sufferings of her son . Tin ' s woman in a state of desperation , made her way to the town of St . Pierre , crying about the streets , ' my master has killed my child ! ' This occasioned her to be called up before the Procureur du Roi and interrogated . Without delay the officers of justice repaired to thc estate , where they found thevarious instruments of torture wliich Iahan was in thc habit of employing upon his slaves . The body of Leandre was afterwards disinterred , in presence of the authorities , and three medical men of the public hospital , who at once saw that the left ear had been cut off , the right one remaining perfect . _Le _^ al proceedings have been commenced in the matter , and numerous witnesses heard ; but Iahan has taken to _Hiii _' it .

      Fire And Loss Of Life. On Thursday Night...

      FIRE AND LOSS OF LIFE . On Thursday night , shortly after seven o ' clock , a fire , which , from its melancholy and distressing circumstances , produced a most painful sensation in the neighbourhood , broke out in the Westminster-road , on the premises known as _lienor ' s fiirework manufactory , situate on thc south side , fronting the Freemasons' School , Thc premises , which comprised a dwelling house , three stories high , and adjoined other manufactories of a similar description , one of which shared a like catastrophe some years since , had for upwards of half a century been occupied by Mrs . Wells , better known as Madame Henglcr—the pyrotechnist , and who , unfortunately , lost her life . The alarm was raised at about a quarter past seven o ' clock , when the ' workmen heard a cry of fire , followed bv _sJJsilit reports , similar to the explosion ol

      crackers and squibs . Ihose who were at work in thc upper rooms immediately ran down stairs , and the noise was found to emanate from the room ot Madame Henglcr , the apartment over the shop , and looking on to the main road . They instantly rushed to the door , and on opening it found a large body of fire apparently in the centre , but so powerful were the smoke and heat , that they were unable to make an entrance . It was well knstwn that Madame Henglcr was in thc room ; and iii a second or two she was seen from the outside , it the window , which she succeeded in opening and made gestures to the crowd to save her . The unfortunate creature , who was verging on her ninetieth year , was almost helpless , and hjing exceedingly corpulent , was unable to raise herself to the window to jump . She ,

      however , bent herself over the sill to prevent being suffocated . Attempts were then again made to get into the room , and one or two persons succeeded , but were forced to retreat ere they could reach her . In the meantime thc excitement in thc neighbourhood was of a most painful character ; ladders were brought and placed against the burning premises , but _wsre found to ho not long enough to reach the windows . Others were soon procured , and attempts were made to drag her out . She was still alive , and her cries were truly of a heart-rending description , but from her corpulency and the suffocating odour of the combustibles , it was rendered ' impossible , and in a few minutes she was noticed gradually to sink , and eventually disappeared in the burning apartment . The police , finding there was no chance of saving the unfortunate lady—having at the first very promptly forwarded intelligence ofthe outbreak to the several engine stations—immediately commenced , assisted by the workpeople of the neighbouring factories ,

      removing the more dangerous portion ol the stock . A great deal , however , tlicy were unable to reach , which , on igniting , exploded with a loud report , and for a considerable time the front ofthe house presented a very novel appearance , from the number of blue lights burning , and other fireworks darting from the several windows . Thc engines from thc Southwark Bridge Road-station , were quickly on the spot after the alarm was raised , and were soon got into operation . Till past ten o ' clock , however , the firemen were occupied in throwing water on the ruins ' , so as to safely damp the combustibles . As soon as the fire was somewhat got under , a search was made for the remains of Madame Henglcr , and which were found by Mr . Barrow , the acting foreman of the West os England Insurance Company , on the floor of the room iu which she was seen to sink . The lire is supposed to have arisen from an explosion ofthe fireworks in Madame Ilengler ' s room .

      MURDERS IN IRELAND

      Murder im _TiprERAKV . _*—On 1 ucsday evening' , thc 30 th ult ., between the hours of eight and nine o ' clock , four fellows , all of whom were armed with bludgeons , entered thc liouse ofa man named Sheedy , of Garrenberg , about seven miles from Nenagh . Michael Hill , the victim in this case and others , were sitting round the fire at the time . On the party entering they throw something on the fire which completely darkened the house . They then commenced belabouring unfortunate Hill , till they left him , as they conceived , dead . On thc first blow being given , the persons who were sitting round the fire ran away . The deceased was afterwards removed to his own

      house , which is next door to the one in which he had been beaten , and where he expired the following morning . The cause assigned i ' or this daring act is , that the deceased refused to allowhis brother to marry a young woman , with whom an intimacy had existed . On _Thiu-sday an Inquest was held on the body . The jury returned a verdict of wilful murder 2 g . iinst some persons at present unknown . Four fellows were taken up on suspicion , and were under examination the greater portion of the day , at the police barracks . _of'Killoscully , before Mr . Tabutea and Captain Pollock . On the following day they were committed and lodged in Nenagh gaol .

      Murder is _Armagh—On Tuesday night week , an old man of the name of Ryan , a driver , belonging to Mr . Hughes , the car-owner , in Armagh , was barbarously murdered b y three persons , who jumped upon the car he was driving , and insisted upon being carried . There was a female in the car who was grossly insulted by those persons , and upon Kyan remonstrating , and _atiempting _[ to protect the woman , the fellows beat him to death . While they were perpetrating the murder the woman escaped , and ran to the next police station , where in a few minutes the bod y of Ryan was brought in by three men , who said they found him dead on the road , and that they thought he fell off his car , and was accidentally killed ; but , much to their surprise , the woman identified them as the persons who killed thc deceased .

      _PaEADFMi MORDEB A * _OtosFBRr . _—Bahmasloe , TiiunsDAy , Ociobeb 2 . —I deeply regret at having to record a murder of a most atrocious character perpetrated at Clonfert , county Galway , within nine miles of this town , on the . night before last . The name of the unfortunate deceased was Thomas Lenney , steward to tlie Rev , Mr . Butson , rector of Clonfert . i he circumstances of the lamentable case , as I have collected from authentic sources , ave as follow : —Some short time back Mr . Butson discharged a steward of his ofthe name of Coates , and engaged deceased as his suc cessor . Inthe interval between that and the murder , Mr . Butson received several threatening letters to dismiss Lennevfrom his situation , or the worst consequences woiild follow . The notice taken of these threats was that about ten days back the father of Coates , the _formersteward _^ -a man in rather comfortable circumstances—was apprehended andcommitted to Galway gaol , as being concerned in the sending of notices in question . Matters , remained s < J until Tuesday last ; on that day the I

      agricultural show here was attended by Lcnney . He returned to his employer ' s liouse in the evening , and there took his dinner and tea as usual . 1 should have stated that on the previous night , Monday , another notice was found in Mr . Butson _' s hall , _threatening that if Lcnney was not discharged from his place within a given time lie would certainly be shot . Dccf _.-wcti ittft the _iuiURQ _llttisn ft ' _ekek to proceed to liis sleeping apartment ill the farm . yawl , situate a very short distance from the dwelling-house ; but he was fitted never to reach it , as he had scarcely reached mid-wav to it , when be fell by tUe hand ofthe _assassin .

Tlic shot wa _* heard in the stable-yard , but it appeared that no immediate attention was paid to

In about twenty minutes , _JlOHCVCl ' , after the fatal _occim-enec , the lift . li . _ a body was discovered b y one of the domestics extended in the gateway _, i ' esterday . au inquest was held before Mr . Kenney , the coroner for the county ; Mr . Douglas , R . M . ; Mr . Lewis , county inspector of police ; and Messrs . Sweeney and Abbot , sub-inspectors . The result ofthe investigation was the _finding a verdict of wilful murder against some parties unknown . Three persons have been since arrested on suspicion . They are Christopher Coates , coachman to Air . llukon " ; John Coates , also in Mr . Butson ' s employment as an _a-srhsuJtun . 1 servant : both are brothers of the dismissed steward . The name of the third prisoner is Joseph Hergir , groom to the reverend gentleman . The prisoners were brought in here to-day , guarded by a strong police force , and lodged in thc _' Bridewell _, for further examination by the bench of magistrates .

      The Doomed Ship . We Understand That A R...

      THE DOOMED SHIP . We understand that a report , of which thc following is an outline , was made to the Lords of her Ala jesty ' s Priv y Council , on Friday week , by Sir "William Pym , superintendent-general of quarantine , < iud Mr . Aruott , of the Middlesex Hospital . These gentlemen proceeded to Portsmouth on Tuesday week . The Eclair , it will be remembered , reached " the Motherbank on Sunday evening . She had been immediately reported to the Custom-house authorities , which are always the first _informed of such mattCl'S , _ailll _tllC channel of communication with the Privy Council , as having on board a most malignant fever . That circumstance was , in due course , communicated to the

      Privy Council , and m consequence of its order Sir William Pym and Mr . Arnott proceeded on Tuesday morning week to Portsmouth . They . misciliatel y repaired alongside the Eclair , accompanied by the quarantine oflieers , and made the most minute inquiries into the condition of the ship and thc crow . From them it resulted that the crew had been suffering from a most malignant fever , with Mack voillif , since the 23 rd of July , when the steamer sailed from Sierra Leone . Ou leaving that place she proceeded both to Gambia and Gorec , but the French authorities of the latter place would noteven allow any communication to be had with her , and she left immediately for liuona Vista , one of the Cape de Yerd Islands . Here the whole ship ' s company waslanded , all the stoves taken out , as well as the water tanks ,

      and the ship was thoroughly cleansed , fumigated , and whitewashed . But tbirty-ono of the officers and crew having died on shore in little less than three weeks , it was determined , after an investigation by tlm medical ofiicers of the Eclair and the Growler , whicli was at Buona Vista , that she should proceed immediately to England . Before leaving Buona Vista , Mr . M'Clurc , a surgeon of the navy , who was passenger on board the Growler , with seven seamen of that vessel , nobly volunteered their services on board the Eclair ; and Mr . M'Clurc , it is to be regretted , fell a victim to his devotion to the public service . After leaving Buona Yista the fever did not abate , as might have been expected , when the vessel approached a more temperate climate . On the contrary , before she reached Madeira Cantain Estcourt

      and Mr . M'CUive both died , and one of the seamen who had volunteered from the Growler was attacked With the disease . At Madeira the authorities would allow Of no communication from the Eclair , though they permitted Air . Bernard , a naval surgeon , and two seamen , who volunteered their services , to cmbark on board of her . Mr . Bernard and the assistantsurgeon of ihe Eclair , Mr . Colly , still remain on board the vessel at _Stangnte Creek . After leaving Madeira the disease continued as had as ever . From the time of her leaving Buona Vista till she arrived in England , she lost at the rate of almost one man per day . Two deaths occurred after her arrival at the Mother-bunk within the space of thirty-six hours , which elapsed before she was visited by the medical gentlemen mentioned above , and one iie . sli case ol

      fever appeared on the 20 th . Considering these circumstances , and particularly the fact that the fever still prevailed on board , it was thought necessary that the ship should bc kept in quarantine , but that every means should bo taken to provide for the wants and recovery of the men . She was accordingly immediately ordered to Stangatc Creek , the usual quarantine station , and two hulks were placed at the service of the crew . Into one of tliem those who had not had the fever were removed , and on board the other those who had been attacked and had recovered were placed . Fresh bedding and fresh provisions , and ererytiyng which it was supposed could contribute to the recovery or the comfort of the crew , were

      immediately supplied . Indeed , everything ot that kind which was needed was sent to them at Portsmouth . Between the 30 th ult ., when die was visited iit Portsmouth , and Friday , the date of the _report , three more deaths had taken place * , but as no fresh case of fever had occurred subsequent to thc 20 th , and there wore only two patients confined to their hammocks , it was hoped that the progress of tlte disease was arrested . Besides these two , theve were eleven of the crew convalescent , the remainder having cither wholly escaped the fever , or liad tho disease and recovered . It is singular that of the forty-three Kroomen , taken on board at different periods , and still on board thc Eclair , not one was ever affected by the disease .

      Floods In The North. (Continued Frontpag...

      FLOODS IN THE NORTH . ( Continued frontpage ! . ) The Forth .- —There has not been such a heavy spate in the Forth for some years as that wc have experienced this week . On Tuesday morning week , at low water , the Highland flood increased the depth of the river by eight feet , and before night i was still deeper , though not measured . The Teith , at OchtCl'tyre and Blackdub , has overflowed Its banks , and spread itself over some fields of turnips and other crops , but wc have heard of little other damage haviiur been done .

      SrKAT At Leith . —In consequence of thc heavy and continued rains of Thursday night , and thc whole of Friday and Saturday , the water of Lcith was on both of these days more swollen that it has heen for some years . On Friday several vessels drifted from their moorings , and at tide time the confusion threatening destruction was so great that some of the smaller craft found it necessary , for safety , owing to the groat run in the old harbour , to take shelter in the wet docks . Tho old wooden bridge over Leith Mills was on that morning

      completely swept away , and one or two shi p ' s boats were capsized and sunk in thc stream , which " roared from bank to brae , " presenting as wild and wintry an aspect as wc have witnessed for many a day . As an extraordinary contrast to this , and as a proof of our variable climate , we may state that on the Tuesday previous , it was remarked by a pedestrian that in thc Water of Leith , for more than a mile above the harbour , there was no running current to he seen—nothing but alternate shingle and stagnant pool . — Caledonian Mercury .

      Dumfries .. —Between the night of Thursday and Friday morning more rain felt tlian we ever remember within the same brief period . Nor was thu _succeeding behind the _preceding day in the influences inseparable ; from " even down pours , " with intermissions so fcW and far between , that streets , roads , and fields , not only saturated , but running o ' er , were never for a single moment dry . The tiniest summer rills were swollen to tbe size of broohs , burns to second class pastoral streams , and rivers to little seas . Lammas floods or spates have long been familiar to the people Of Scotland ; but rarely manifesting the same magnitude of volume of irresistibility of current . And in consequence of accumulating , thus multiplied and concentrated , lavish _rusbings from the hills , and tributaries gorged , the Nith rose to a greater height than we had supposed possible , in consequence ofthe improvements in our river navigation , which , by giving a freer egress to surplus

      water , have averted for several years periodical flooding in the lower parts of the town—more especially tho dwellings Of the poor . By ten O'clock in the morning the Nith _bscame an object of interest , rolling as it did majestically from bank to brae , however inferior to the rivers of America ; and continued rising as the day advanced , until the broad stream above and below the Caul obliterated every trace of the artificial falla circumstance of very rare occurrence . During the forenoon and afternoon of Friday a great deal of grain , swept irom level holms , was floated down the Nith , sometimes to the extent of twenty or more sheaves closely abutting on one another , And the same scene was _re-wltnessed on Saturday morning , although probably on a smaller scale . Tlie quantity of oats and barley , and in one case of wheat , thus lost , would have piled , we should suppose several stacks ; and but rarely has the oldest indweller witnessed more animated _fishinc _.

      not by rod or net and coble , but by cleeks affixed to long _polen _, sticks , ropes with a stone attached , and other appli . _anccsinnearingtothesidc . The waif-men at the town mills were most industrious , and had collected among them an _ordinary rick of corn ; but many sheaves escaped tlieir apparatus on detouring over the Caul , portions of which were secured lower down by at least thirty men and hoys stationed on the Mllgreen . Nor is this al J , for by noon on Saturday , after the river had fallen in , considerable quantities of grain were secured with ease at Kelton , and all round the shore of Carlaverock . The chief portion of the grain was , we understand , brought down by the Nith , but it is reported that live acres of crop were swept away by the the Clouden , on the farm of Ha-hill . At one o'clock on Saturday morning the Nith attained its greatest height ; and by that time hadflooded Brewerystreet _, the "White _Srwtfe , _J- _' riar ' s Yennel _, and Bank-street ,

      to a considerable distance . Many one-story dwellings were in this wn ' v invaded to the discomfortof the inmates , now llmt winter in _ajfiiiu _approachilly . The premises occupied by Jlr . Campbell , coachmaker , were deeply hWkd , to say nothing of the inconveniences experienced at the Three V .

Two drowned bullocks appeared in the stream , one ot which was latuled on the Maxweltown side , and the other got out at Conhcath pier . S «» veral of the show caravans had been placed near tho edge of tbe river at the foot of Hank-street , and the owner * were advised to remove them , as thc river rote on Friday . This they refused to do from _hinorauce ofthe nature of

      the stream , and in _connL-ipic-iiui' they were speedily SUrrouuded with water , -winch not only prevented tlie ingress oi * » 11 visitors , but placed the concernjjhi some danger . In the evening the sight was really picturesque , lights gleaming from the _ciravaiis on the turbid river ; and men up to the knees iu water , bu * y anchoring tho _n-jivelliii if houses to the solid Iund . By UieallS of a _i-hip anchor and _ropc-f , they were pretty well secured , _btit us the water at last rose above the level of the wheels , and entered the doors , other measures were taken ; and about eleven o ' clock " the fattest woman in the wovUi . " reached terra _firnm by menus of a boat ; ana _coiisiOviillg lll'l * priZChllllOL'k _WL'igllt , it is fortunate tho distance was not great enough to call fur much rowing Around Newton-Stewart rain fell incessantly for the unusual period of twenty-four 110111 ' $ , accompanied by a

      tremendous gale of mwl irom the east and north-east . What with its roaring aud tumbling masses of waters , which burst its banks at every Utile distance , tile Cr < _# presented ft _Spectacle altogether unequalled for a number of years . Considerable damage was done by hooding , as may be judged from the statement that the bridge at _Claueham-asy , about eight miles nbovo Newton-Stewart , was swept away . This wns an entirely new structure , which the trustees intended to take off the contractor ' s hands on tho very day it fell—a casualty which may generate a knotty point for lawyers . The l _' enkiln burn rose with extraordinary rapidity , and has not been seen so tempestuously flooded fur thirty years , wlu n it carried the . bridge at Old _Miimigatf away . In 1 ' i-fen . nut : to the wind mid ruin of Friday , a veteran

      _furincr says , that no sueh disastrous day has occurred since 1810 , when the weather wus precisely similar about the middle of harvest . From the neighbourhood of Kirkcudbright we learn is follows : —There was a strong Hind i ' _t-oin the east , on the afternoon from the north-east , and the rain frequentl y fell in torrents , The rivulet * were much swollen , the low lying grounds much flooded , the water-tables running over so much in various places , ihut the parish roads were hero and there almost impassable . I have not seen , at least I do not remember , so great a spate these several yean past . The Clyde , we understand , was tremendously flooded , and eke the Annan , Milk , Esk ; but what is strange , neither the Kinnel , Dryfe _, nor Tweed , to any extent worth naming , although the wind blew from the east . —Dumfries Courier .
