The Csops, And Their Yield. - This Quest...
THE CSOPS , AND THEIR YIELD . - This question is one which all are deeply interested In . It is now confessed on ail hands that we have but just escaped a threatened famine . Those who *« rere " holding out" that "therewas not much to tear" even when we had week after week of cold and soaking rain , now admit that the prospect _* _raa frig htful ; and that the last three weeks of comparative fine weather has alone saved the crops from utter ruin . It was then their cue to "blow hot , " because the reality was calculated to play " old Harry" on 'Change , where consols and shares went
_ap and down with every gleam of sunshine and every day of wet . Awful "long visages" were beginning to show themselves in the " speculating market ;" ond therefore the truth-telling press disguised ihe truth , and cried " peace" when there was every _probabuitycfthatmo _^ tterrific and most unappeasable of all wars—ihe war pf the belly ! Now that the most _in rminent danger is passed , these same "best possible public instructors" "blow cold ;" . tell ns that we have bnt just escaped actual famine ; that the danger was most appalling ; and that " it was all owing to that barbarous _enactment—tAe Corn Law !" And . thus the people are played with .
The fact is , that we have escaped , and but just escaped , a most awful calamity . Another fortnight of such weather as we had in the beginning of August would have rained the main of the crops . This bad . _^ z _£ et was not caused by the Corn Law ; nor would a repeal of that law have had any influence in securing ns sunny days . From all that can be gathered it would seem that most of foreign nations will have corn little enough for themselves ; and had onr porta been as " free and open" as the most thoroughgoing free-trader could desire , the supply of foreign corn , intheeventof our own harvest failing as threat ened , would have been inadequate to onr wants ; ( whilst we should have received a most terrible lesson of fhe advantages derived from " _DEPU-vnEJCE 05 eobeigsers 1 " They would have had every induce ment to withhold ; and would have withheld , till we paid famine price !"
It is all very well for the free-traders to draw reasons for their crotchet from every source ; and heaven knows they are not over nice where they get them , so that they can cheat the understanding of the gulls they appeal to . Br . Bowrikg once exclaimed that *' Fre * 4 rade * _was Jesus Christ—and _Jkscs Christ was free-trade . * " and he would the next moment have asserted that "free-trade was the Devh«—and the _Dbvtl was free-trade , " if he had thought that sneh an assertion would have tickled his hearers more than the other . But amidst all this " babble of
words" about free-trade , and about a " law to secure a short supply of food , " the people will at once see ( he dictates of common sense on the matter ; which are , that , Corn-law orno Corn-law , fair trade orfreefcrade , it is our duty to raise our man food AT HOME , and _-esoron op it in ordinary seasons to make np for deficiencies of supply in bad seasons . This we can do by applying capital and labour to the soil , under sneh conditions as give SECURITY OF TENURE ; and until we do this we shall never be safe , hut be at the mercy of those who will be sure to WITHHOLD when we most need their aid .
Respecting onr present prospects , the Mark-Lane Express of Monday says : — The weather , though cold and duU , has heen dry during the greater part ofthe week ; and in those districts where the grain was previously ripe , there has been no interruption to catting and carrying ; steady progress has therefore been made with harvest operations in all the southern counties , and a considerable proportion of the corn has been safely deposited in the tick yards . Iu the more backward parts of the kingdom the want of hot sunshine has heen seriously felt : and , unless we have greater warmth , it is doubtful whether some Of the late Cropi _u-Ulezer arrive at maturity . Wherever thrashing has been
commenced the _produce or wheat is tobkd to fail 6 noHT or expectation ; and besides the complaints on this subject , thcaecounU of the quality are likewise , we are sorry to say , of a few satisfactory character _tfian _« e _tccr « indacedto hope might hacc proved the case . The weight per bushel , which is generally a good criterion for judging of the quality , is certainly from 2 to 31 b . per bushel less this than last year ; man . v of tbe samples brought forward at the markets in the agricultural districts bave not weighed more than 59 toC 01 bs ., _* _and instances of 56 to 58 Ibs . are by no means rare . In addition to the actual loss from this cause , there wIB roost proboMj be a further _defdeusy , in « mseg «« nee of the fatting off in meal from a given quantity of Wheat ; and , on the whole , it is to be apprehended that THE
YIELD WILI . BE DECIDEDLY BELOW THAT OP CSUAL ATERAGE YEAES . At present we ha _^ e not _sufficient data to form an estimate of the extent of the deficincy ; bnt we are , under all circumstances , inclined to think it will ultimately he found to le rather important . Even from those counties from whence least has been heard ofthe defect in the car , the reports have , since harvesthas been proceeded with , heeome unfavourable . In Scotland the weather seems to have been of a
similar character to that experienced here , viz ., tolerably dry , but cold . In tbe most forward districts reaping has been pretty generally commenced , but further north much corn will not be fit to cut tiU quite fhe end of tbe month . Trom Ireland the accounts are sBll on the -whole _favournhle in respect to the weather and the crops . _Xew Wheat , Barley , and Oats had been brought forward at all tbe principal markets in the southern portions of the island , mostly of fair quality , and ba tolerable condition .
Ia addition to this , it has to be stated _, that the accounts of the disease in potatoes multiply on every hand . It seems to have extended itself throughout Europe . The Journal of Commerce would make it appear that on most parts of the Continent the crop is almost an entire failure . It says : — We have already referred to the disastrous results o the potato crops in France and Belgium ; and the following extract of a letter from Amsterdam gives some interesting intelligence on the same subject : — " The calamity with regard to our potato crop is increasing ; and we are sure that only one-third of the -usual qnantity of an average crop will be fit for consumption . When it was perceived that the ' winter potatoes were suffering , a good many families laid in a small stock of summer potatoes , which the farmers guaranteed as being sound
aad fit to be kept for six or ten months ; but although these potatoes -werein exceUent condition when _deHvered , they could not he kept for eight or ten days . The summer potatoes will last us till November and December . The winter potatoes in tbe fields are in a most deplorable condition . Some hopes were entertained that tbe potatoes in the Downs , between the Hague and Haarlem , were safe ; hut , unfortunately , we had accounts yesterday that they suffer in the same manner , and turn rotten . 'We are at a loss to say where to get potatoes from , as the same calamity is spreading in tbe neighbouring countries _—l-eldum , France , England , and the North of Germany _, _^" one have yet been able to discover the actual cause _«* " Use sickness . Some say It is a poisonous mildew ; others think that the potatoes grew too fast in June _erJulv _"
In our country , this unaccountable " rot" is found to be very prevalent : so much so , that the agricultural chemists aro devising means if possible to counteract thc disease ; or where that cannot be done , to save for use the only portion of the " damnaWc _root , " as CoBbett called it —( and with tha u _? c to which it has been put in Ireland , lie was more than justified in so designating it}—which is nutr itious , —the starch ; and which it seems is not affected . To effcetthe first object ; to counteract thc
disease itself , it j s recommended that 1 cwt . of chloride- of lime mixed with 3 cwt . of salt , should be applied to the affected ciop , per acre , cither by Strewing _ifc aronnd ihe plant , and immediately cover'"? it _in-or , _jf lhe _TfM'Ler- he dry , In the shape of h _* i « _id , mixing 1 lb . of the mixture to every gallon of water . The mode of making the most of the cro ? , where the disease cannot be stayed , is fully _•^ plained in the following letter , by Jfr . IlERAPAxn , Vj eraincat chemist of Bristol : —
1 _^ _ _* " _"» ¦—M y attention has been given to the disease which wn _'tself so extensively amongst tlie growing ' _* 9 ts - I Sud , in almost erery instance , that the isiao _" _' ° StaIk * JtIow the surface of the S "" ° nnd c _** ° r less in a state of decay , often disintegrated , and _y '' ' _- ' " TO « en ; the leaves anahrauches accord with the _hi-D ' ) Ut part oftUe stnlk below tne ground .

J Hereby Directtbat All Monies Payable T...
J hereby directtbat all monies payable tome , as treasurer to the Chartist Co-operative Land Fund , must he transmitted as follows : —Either by Bank order or Post-office order , to the " care of Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., 340 Strand , London f andjwyaWe to me , "Vf . P . Roberts . " That is , that my signature shall be required to each order . This direction is plain . For instance , saj that Edward Hobson , of Ashton . has £ 10 to transmit ; he is to transmit the same to Mr . O'Connor , by Bank letter or Post-office order , made payable to W , P . Roberts That order I can sign when I go to London , or when a parcel of them are sent to me . The two only things required to secure the triumph of Labour ' s battle are ,
union among the working classes , and un deviating honesty and punctuality on the part of those who have the management of their affairs . I therefore adopt this plan , tbat we may have upon each other as many salutary checks as possible . This is advisable , as much for our own mutual satisfaction , as for the satisfaction of the subscribers . I therefore request that these plain and simple instructions may be punctually attended to in all cases . To save additional postage , each letter containing a money order , may also contain a list of the respective sums , and all other information necessary for the general secretary , Mr . Wheeler , to have ; which letter Mr . O'Connor will duly forward to him . This done , there can be no puzzle about the accounts . Vf . P . Kobekts , T reasurer .
All orders should be made payable at 180 , Strand , London . —Vf . P . B . [ The above mode has been adopted at my suggestion , in consequence of the endless trouble I have had , owing to some parties sending me Post-office orders payable to mt / order ; and some to Mr . Roberts' order . Obseivance of the above very simple rule will insure uniformity , satisfaction , and protection . There is a difficulty at the branch Post-offices about getting monies , when the orders are not signed by the persons to whom they are made payable . Famous O'CONNOB .. ]

A Constantreadee, Halifax.—Mr. Cooper's ...
A _ConstantReadee , Halifax . —Mr . Cooper's "Hebrew Guide" is not yet published . It will he no doubt some day , when the price will be announced . Vf . Jekkikgs , Holbosm . —We cannot answer his query ; bnt think it likely that the answer returned him by the American Consul will be correct . His best way of satisfying himself wiU he to cause inquiries to be made in America itself . ' Has he no Mend there he could write to ! A Regular _Subscbibeb , Stockpobt . —The best way would be for the party to return , and obtain possession of all the clothing that is her own . As ~ EHGi . iBnM 4 N . —We must decline to publish his letter . He has not furnished ns with his name , nor afforded us any means of ascertaining that he is privy to the " authenticity" ofthe documents quoted by a
"Polish Democrat" against Major Beniowski . The "Polish Democrat" did not so act ., ' He at once gave his name ; and he moreover referred us to a distinguished foreigner , whose name and patriotism _iske own over all the civilized world , to whom the article had been shewn , and who was cognizant of the facts therein set forth , and averred their truth . ' Independent of this , there are speculations , star ted by "An Englishman" in his letter , relative to the propriety of "foreigners" aiding Englishmen in their efforts to "bring about a new order of things , " which might lead to much misapprehension , and be productive of mischief . This , therefore , would decide us not to publish the letter , even had the writer given his name . We thank "An Englishman" for pointing our attention to the articles in the two publications he names .
Henbt _Helliwell , Todmobden , should have had more sense than to bet on a matter of business that did not belong to him : and he should have bad less impudence than to ask us to make him ont a "balance sheet" in a matter with which he is not in the slightest concerned , according to his own statement ; only that he wants to settle . who ought to pay " glasses round . " We can tell bim for his comfort , that As has to pay ; though the matter was not as his antagonist stated . Still he was nearer the truth than Henry Helliwell . F . Goonraixow , Stoubbridge . —in the Annual Finance Accounts fur the year 1811 , ending Jan . 6 , 1845 , the amount of duties paid on glass , with tbe amount of drawbacks , is set forth as foUows : —

C 5 C The particulars as to " cut glass" a » _i " plain glass " are not set forth . Perhaps he could find these In the " Annual Returns relative to Trade and Navigation . " Jacob _Teostv ' s third letter next week . Hugh Hansom , _Boaaccn , will see that his letter is unnecessary— -Mr . IlatcliiFe having repUed for . himself . Wc shall look over his letter again , and if there is any point discussed , other than those contained in Mr . Ratcliffe _' s communication , the public shall have the benefit ofit .
W . S ., Belfast . —We have not yet had time to read his communication . There is little doubt but that it will appear : for vre vrish the question to be thoroughly discussed , convinced that it is one of surpassing interest to the members of the Odd Fellows' Institution , totally independenf of the quarrels of the men pitted against each other . It is manifest that the Society contains within its constitution the seeds of disease and death ; and until those are rooted out , the Society will never know - tb . de life . It shall not be our fault ifthe members do not see the way in which they can do this : it will rest with thsmselves whether they follow it or not . This we shall do , totally irrespective of persons : for in the Order we may say that we know nobody—and will know nobody , only by their acts . If the members win only act in the same spirit , nnd eschew all partisanship , they will soon set themselves right , and make themselves and their Order a j > at ( crn of management and system . Jons Wabd , _Babn'SLET , writes to correct the report of a meeting held in that tora a short time ae ; o , and reported in last Saturday ' s Star . It was there set forth that the meeting was a crowded one ; whereas he says the room was not a quarter full . We know not who sent ns that report , but have no doubt the _statement was inserted as sent . We wish those who do forward reports of meetings to state" facts , only fasts . Let us have the truth : for untruth , however it may deceive at iirst , will be discovered in the end , and tell wofully against those who use it . Jens W _^ _an , _Baenslet . —The resolution come to by the members of the Land Society is premature ; for the Directors have not yet classified the members into districts to elect representatives . They havo not even yet got the returns to enable them to do this . All iu good time . Hikbt _KiTcms , _Pextosvili-e . —We don't remember the name , but probably did . We remember having _received tteo , asking a silly question ahourthe circulation of the Star , which we did not think it worth while to notice , as almost every number of the Star contains the means for every one to satisfy himself on the point thc writer troubled us on . We have not those letters at hand to look at the name : but if they were Mr . _ICitchiu ' s , he now has his answer : if they were not , be must specify more particularly .

Fire On Walworth Common.—On Sunday Night...
Fire on Walworth Common . —On Sunday night , shortly after ten o ' clock , a fire broke out in the premises belonging to Mr . Grogan , oil-cloth manufac turer and japanner , carrying on business in Princesplace , "Walwortli-conimon . It originated , from some cause unknown , in about the centre of the manufactory , a building between 50 and CO feet long , and which was filled with goods , some finished and others partly so . Owing to the very inflammable nature ot the stock , the flames broke through the roof of the building with great fury , and for some time the neighbourhood was illuminated . The light caused a general turn-out of the engines , and those from Southwark-bridge-road , Waterloo-road , and the West
of England stations , with one from Chandos-street , arrived at the scene within five minutes of eacli other ; these were followed by others belonging to the Brigade and the County-office . By that time , however , the entire building was on fire from end to end , and strong apprehensions were entertained for the safety of the surrounding habitations . The different neighbours , from the first alarm , exerted themselves to the utmost in removing everything near the manufactory of a combustible character , and the water being abundantly supplied , . one engine was set to work , and the flames were entirely extinguished before twelve o ' clock , not , however , until the building was razed to the ground , and the valuable stock destroyed . .
Fatal Accident 0 $ the South Eastern Railway . —An accident , involving loss of life , happened on Monday morning in the Archcliffe Tunnel on the South Eastern Railway , a short distance from the Dover terminus . One of the porters , named John Hill , whose particular duty was to assist in removing trucks , engines , & c , in the vicinity of the terminus , was directed to move an engine down the line to the shedding near the Archcliffe Tunnel . The poor fellow promptly proceeded with the order , but on the engine passing through thc tunnel he imprudently jumped on the step , and was literally jammed against the wall . On the engine emerging from the tunnel the unfortunate creature was discovered quite dead , having evidently been killed instantaneously .
Fatal Railway _AccmENi . —An accident took place on the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway on Thursday morning about one o ' clock , which was attended with the death of George Macklin , one of the guards . It appears that Macklin has been employed on the line for only four months , and in accordance with a custom which provides tliat all new guards be appointed to the charge of luggage trains as an initiatory step , he had charge of a' train of this kind which left Glasgow at eleven o ' clock on Wednesday night . The train reached Linlithgow in safety , where one ofthe trucks was to be left , and for the sake of convenience it was the last in the train . It was in connection
with this particular truck that Macklin lost his life , but as no person saw the accident , the particulars of it cannot be given with certainty . From the position , however , in which the body wasfound , it is supposed to have occurred as follows : —Before the train had been fully stopped he had swung himself on the buffers of the second last truck in order to save himself ihe trouble of running forward and uncoupling the last one at the proper time ; and while in this situation , he had fallen d » wn on the rail , and immediately the remaining truck passed over his body . The unfortunate man was quite unable to speak , and died in about a quarter of an hour afterwards . — Scotsman .
Accident ox the Brighton Railway . —On . Monday morning , as thc seven o ' clock mixed train from Brighton was approaching the Clayton Tunnel slowly , in consequence of the slippery state of the rails from thc fog , a pilot engine proceeded to its usual station at Horley , came up with the train , and struck the last carriage , a third class , which was unhooked from the train . The passengers in that carriage suffered a severe shock , and many of them jumped out ; in so doing , Mr . Neale , of Fleet-street , printer , was cut in the foot , and others sustained some bruises , amongst whom was a lady , of Claplinm , No injury accrued to the engine or carriage . The train was immediately stopped , and the carriage re-attached , and all the passengers , excepting a lady and gentleman , who , we believe , from alarm and not from injury , returned to Brighton , were brought forward to their respective destinations in safety .
The late Fatal _Affhay at _CnAPxioji . —On Tuesday afternoon Mr . J . Payne resumed an inquiry in the board-room of St . Thomas's Hospital , respecting the death of John Goodhue , aged forty-iivc years , late head gurdener to John Saunders , Esq ., of Charlton , Kent . On the night of the 4 th of June Mr . Saunders gave a grand entertainment to a select circle of liis friends . The deceased was standing in front of the mansion giving directions to the various coachmen . About half-past ten the carriage belonging to Major Cuppage arrived to take up thc family . The deceased had an altercation with the footman ( William Green ) respecting the carriage being driven across the lawn , which was contrary to the
regulations . Ultimately they began fighting , and in the first round the deceased was thrown heavily to the ground , and before he could get up Green kicked him in the groin . The deceased was taken to the lodge , where lie vomited blood , and tlie following day was taken to the above hospital , whero he died on Wednesday , the 27 th ult . The medical testimony fully proved that the deceased had not died from violence , hut from long existing disease ofthe liver and spleen . The deputy coroner went through the whole of the evidence , and remarked at great length on the various points of tbe case , after which the jury returned a verdict that deceased " Died from natural causes . "
Heroic Cosduct os a Railway . —On lliursday week last one of the most providential escapes , as regards human life , occurred on thc railway connected with Bishop Wearmouth ironworks , that has ever been recorded , although accompanied by a most fearful and calamitous accident to tlie individual who risked his life to prevent the sacrifice of at least two , if not more persons . Tbe ironworks in question extend over a vast extent of country , and , lor the purpose of a speedy transit from one part to the other . railways _Iliyc been established , one of which is formed on an inclined plane , down which the heavily laden waggons are propelled at a fearful rate . On the morning ofthe above day , while one ofthe train of _wajrgous was passing dowu , two very old women , each being nearlv seventy years of ago , labouring under defective sight as well as hearing , got on the line . A few seconds more , they must both have
beeu inevitably crushed to death . Their perilous situation was , however , witnessed by Mr . David _llolsgrove , the overlooker of the works , who m an instant dashed toward and seized the two females , whom he threw off the line , and out of the way of danger . Unfortunately the engine at this moment came up , which knocked Mr . llolsgrove down , and he was picked up as dead . He wns instantly conveyed to one of the buildings in the vicinity , and medical aid was sent for , when , upon examination , it was discovered that he had sustained several contusions about the head , that both , his arms were broken in two places , and also one ofhis leg ? , besides other injuries about the body . It is supposed _^ that some part of the train must have gone over his limbs . Although so severely and dangerously injured , hopes are entertained of his recovery . Thc two females escaped without the slightest injury .

Fire On Walworth Common.—On Sunday Night...
Firb at _ANDovuR . --On Sunday night last afire broke out at Andover , in the new street leading to Newbury , which in _spiteof all the exertions of the inhabitants continued to burn all night , and totallv destroyed six houses . So rapid was the progressot' the fire that some of tho families escaped in their night cfotoes , and were glad to save their lives , " having no opportunity to save anything else . The poor sufferers appeared in a miserablo plight , as many as twenty of them having neither clothing , homes , nor furniture , and no money wherewith to purchase any . Not one of them was insured . It is not known how the fire originated , but most likely from the overheat _, ing of a flue .
Curious Case . —At the Middlesex sessions , on Tuesday , William Fitch , aged 22 , John Walters , aged 15 , Ann Reed , aged 19 , and Elizabeth Thomas , aged 15 , were indicted for stealing a purse and the sum of five shillings , the property of Thomas Fraser Barclay , from the person of Lucy Charlotte Mary Barclay . They picked the lady ' s pocket in Oxfordstreet . The jury found the prisoners guilty . The learned Judge said that the history of the prisoner Fitch was somewhat singular . He was sentenced to transportation for seven years at these sessions in January last , under the name of William Walker , but he had changed places with another prisoner , Nicholas Duncan , who had been convicted of felony , and sentenced to three months' imprisonment . The conviction happened at a late hour of the day on which the prisoner was tried , and haying with other felons been removed to the cells beneath the court , preparatory to being * forwarded to the Westminster
Bridewell , they there concocted a scheme to change names and personate each otner ; accordingly , when called , the prisoner at the bar answered to the name of Duncan , while the real Duncan responded to that of Walker , and tho prisoner succeeded in escaping transportation , and was liberated at the expiration of three months' imprisonment . His companion Duncan was now [ serving the term of seven years on board the Dromedary hulk at Bermuda , whence he had written home tho other day , stating his bitter repentance of the change he had so foolishly made , and detailing all the circumstances , which upon investigation were found to be true . Thc sentence ofthe court was , that the prisoner Fitch be transported beyond the seas for the term of ten years . John Walters and Mary Ann Reed were sentenced to six months' imprisonment , and Elizabeth Thomas to four months imprisonment in the House of Correction .
An Actress charged with Picking : Pockets . —At the Middlesex Sessions ou Wednesday , Mary . Ann Bland was indicted for _stealing a puree nnd 5 s . the property of Mary Barnes . The prisoner , it appeared , was an actress of some provincial celebrity . She had just returned from completing an engagement at a theatre in Shropshire , and was about with her husband , also an actor , to set off for the Dublin Theatre . She was observed by a policeman in plain clothes trying pockets during an afternoon stroll , from the Lowtner-avcade to Leicester-square . The policeman followed , closely observing her motions for some time , until he obtained , as he termed it , a case , when
he immediately apprehended tiie prisoner . The evidenceof the prosecutrixhaving been given , Mr . Horry , in addressing the jury , commented strongly upon the conduct of the policeman in tracking the prisoner _, during whicli time he had , according to his own account , seen her make several attempts to pick pockets . That was a distinct offence , for the commission of which he should have taken her into custody . The learned judge asked him why he had adopted that course ? The officer said that the magistrates did not like so many attempts . They liked a case . The jury returned a verdict of Guilty . The Court sentenced . the prisoner to six months' imprisonment in the House of Correction .
, Destructive Fire at Brixton . —At about halfpast ten o ' clock on Saturday , a fire broke out in the extensive premises occupied by Mr . W . Glanville , carpenter and builder , - situate in the _Imiddlc-road , Brixton , near the church . Some idea may be formed of tlie intensity of the heat sent forth from the burning mass , when we state that the fruit growing on tilt trees in the immediate vicinity was actually roasted . Frightful Coach Accident . —On Sunday last , the London and Newmarket mail , which leaves Norwich at five o'clock , met with a very serious accident at Cringleford-gate . Coming rapidly down tiie hill , at the bottom of which is the turnpike-gate [ a , good pace being required to mount the opposite declivity ) by some mistake the gate was flung back the wrong
way , and catching the iorewheel shattered it to pieces , every spoke being removed , and the coach body separated from the axle-tree . The coachman , Newman ( a most steady driver ) , continued to hold the reins , and was much injured by being dragged and bruised . We regret to say a lady _» who was a passenger , had her arm broken , and three other passengers were so much hurt that they were compelled to return to Norwich . A gentleman , a London traveller , was very much cut and contused about the face and head , but came on by another coach , for which a messenger was sent to Norwich , and which continued the journey , arriving at Suffolk Hotel , in this town , two hours later than usual . Every attention was paid to the sufferers that humanity could suggest , and the gentleman who arrived at Suffolk was going on well when our informant last inquired .
Extraordinary Suicide by a Boy . —On Tuesday last , R _. Docker , Esq ., one of the coroners for the county of Worcester , held an inquest at the Fox and Goose public house , iu Redditch , in that county , on the body of a boy named James Abbott , who drowned himself in a well on his father ' s premises through fear of punishment for a venial offence . It seems that thc child had been playing in the garden with a spade , digging holes and amusing himself somewhat mischievously , when he was threatened by his grandmother , that when his father came home he should be whipped . Thc fear of this threatened punishment seems to have weighed on thc child ' s mind , and Shortly afterwards he endeavoured to prevail on a play-fellow to accompany him to ' * the well , " where he said he would " go and drown himself . " The next morning thc lifeless body of the poor frightened boy was discovered in tiie well . The jurv returned a
verdict to the effect , that deceased came to his death by drowning-, but how or by what means he got into the well , there was no evidence to explain . Self-Destruction . —On Thursday afternoon Mr . Richards , a gun-stock maker , living in Castlc-hine , and having another residence at Fulhani , went to the Stag , Castle-lane , Pimlico , about five o ' clock , and , having gone to the back door , called for a pint of porter , whicli Mrs . Church , ther landlady , took to him . She had scarcely left the room when she was alarmed at the report of a pistol in the parlour , and , upon some persons going into the room , the unfortunate man was found lying in a pool ot blood on the floor , and a p stol by his side . He was immediately taken up stairs in . an insensible 9 tate , and surgeons sent for . It was then discovered he had shot himself under the right ear , and the bullet had most probably passed into the brain . Not the slightest hope is held of his recovery .
A _Youso LADr _Fodad I . Y THE THAMES . — On Thursday morning , at half-past nine . o'clock , some watermen discovered the body of a young lady in tlie Thames , off Billingsgate dock . The deceased appeared to be about twenty years of age , dark eyes , hair , and complexion ; was attired in a purple speckled cottou gown , black crape bonnet , black boots , and white stockings , linen not marked , gold earrings , coral necklace , and two gold rings on Jicr fingers , and a pair of black kid gloves on lier hands . Tlio body was removed to the workhouse of St . Maryat-IIill , to await a . coroner ' s inquest .

On Monday night the parents of the deceased hived a bed at a lodginghouse in Gloucester-street , Tower-street , Waterlooroad . . They were both very much intoxicated at thc time , and the mother carried the deceased in her arms . The following morning , about halt-past ei _? ht , the keeper of the house gave information to the police , who took charge of both the father and mother . When questioned by the insnector as to the
deceased s death , the mother said she believed , as they were both intoxicated , that the deceased must have been suffocated , Mr . M . F . WagStaff , - the divisional surgeon , said tbat lie was called to sec the deceased , whom lie found quite dead . There were evident symptoms of the child having died from violence , most probably from suffocation . Both the parents have been remanded . by Mr : Norton , the magistrate , to await the result of the present inquiry . The coroner remarked on ' the case , after which the jury returned a verdict of accidental death from suffocation .
Melancholy Accident . —An accident of a fatal and unhappy nature took place on Tuesdav evening in the neighbourhood of Cancale , a few niilcs from St . Malo , which has plunged more than one family in sorrow and lamentation . A party of friends , consisting alto . ether of eight individuals , had proceeded a few miles out to sea in a small boat to enjoy the pleasure of a short marine excursion , when on their return , their boat having struck upon one ofthe rocks with which the coast abounds , the whole party weroprecipitated into the water . It were Impossible to describe thc shrieks whicli now rent the air , thc sounds of the cries being heard , at the distance of several miles . A number of individuals from the shore having observed tiie disaster , immediately proceeded in boat
a to the scene of accident , but melancholy to relate , before thev reached the fatal spot , two ot the unhappy beings had sunk to rise no more . The remainder . ' were cither clinging to thc rock , or the boat tram which they had been detached , which was now . floating on the wave with its bottom upwards . 1 royidentially , assistance arrived before the strength ol the unhappy sufferers had become-completely exhausted , else friends and relatives might have had their ci : p _, if possible .-filled with _CVC 1 I il fuller _raoasui-e el sorrow th _.-ui that which it has been then * lot on the present sad occasion to experience .

Fire On Walworth Common.—On Sunday Night...
Strkbt Robbbry . — -At the Surrey Sessions on Tuesday , Frances Tukers , a gaudily dressed young woman , was indicted for stealing a watch , the property of Richard Eason , a man advanced in years . rhe robbery , it appeared , was effected in the street , the prosecutor having been for some time walking in the prisoner ' s company . A verdict of guilty having been returned , it was then stated that the prisoner had been frequentl y in custody for robbing men , and that she was one of the worst characters on that side of the water . The chairman sentenced the prisoner to ten years' transportation , and refused the prosecutor his expenses , on the ground of his having accompanied the prisoner , and given her an opportunity of robbing him .
Fatal Accident to a Child . —Ori Wednesday an inquest was held before Mr . Bedford , at the Queen ' s Arms Tavern , Dartmouth-street , Queen ' s-square , Westminster , on the body of Edwin Arthur Crate , aged 18 months , whose parents reside at No . 76 , Gt . Peter-street . It appeared that the deceased was playing with a little cart , on the morning of Tuesday , at the corner of Strutton-ground , and whilst endeavouring to cross the roadway , he ran under the county prison van , which was going at a steady pace , loaded with prisoners , to the Westminster House of " Correction ; and before the driver could stop the horses , the off-wheel passed over his head . He was taken to the Westminster Hospital , where he died soon after his admission . The injuries were the cause of death . There did not ippear any blame attributable to the driver . The jury therefore returned a verdict of " Accidental death . "
Fatal Accident _nbau _Heywood . —On Thursday , the 4 th inst ., as Mr . Benjamin Partington , a labouring man in tbe employ of Mr . John Linsey , of Goodcn farm , wasloadinis a cart with hay he fell , and lighting on his head , broke his neck , and died immediately . He was a healthy strong man , in the prime of life , and had been a good and faithful servant to Mr . Linsey for many years . He has left a wife and family to deplore his untimely end . Murder at Dorking . —An inquest was held at the Harennd Hounds , Box-hill , on Friday , Sept . 5 th , on view of the body of Frederick Lynch , whose death was caused by the hand of a- man of the name of Francis Taylor , foreman to the painting work of a gentleman ' s building , at Headly . It appears that on Tuesday night Taylor was in company with a girl
at Box-hill fair , when he imagined that lie was followed about by two or three young men , whom , it is said , he threatened to stab if they continued to watch him . This led to a severe quarrel , and Taylor challenged to fight any man there . The challenge at the time was not accepted ; but as Taylor , in company with others of his associates were about to go home , they began to hoot and holloa at those they left behind ; whereupon deceased with others made towards them , and " asked what they wanted ? " A fight was the reply . " Well , " said deceased , ad . vancing towards Taylor , " jf that is what you want , 1 am your man . " Scarcely were the words out of his mouth before ho received two stabs from a
sharppointed instrument , supposed to be that of a dagger walking-stick . The one was against the rib , the other under it , which penetrated through the bowels to the back ; very little blood was externally visible : it flowed and settled within him . Mortification took place , and he died the following morning . Thejury , after a long investigation , returned a verdict of Wilful Murder against Taylor , and he was committed accordingly to take his trial at the next Surrey assizes . The prisoner , who had since his apprehension been verj ; indifferent , and pleaded ignorance of the matter , cried violently at the return of the verdict . He is a native of Bath , and , it is said , has very respectable connections there .
_Honninu" Case . —A letter from Brunswick of tbe 1 st gives an account of the almost miraculous escape from death of an innocent girl , who had been condemned to death by thc tribunal of Yechelde , in the absence of the prisoner , on a charge of having wilfully set fire to a barn belonging to her master . The poor girl , after having in vain asserted that she was innocent , was flogged by an officer of police until the pain became so severe , that to obtain relief she confessed that she was guilty . According to the Jaw in Brunswick the trial took place in secret , and upon documentary evidence only . Whilst the clergyman of the prison was preparing her for execution _^ two men were arrested , and confessed that they were the perpetrators of the crime for which the girl had been
condemned to die . Her execution was therefore postponed , and it being found that the men in question were the real criminasl , she was set at liberty . An application was then made to the government for a pecuniary indemnity for the sufferings that the girl had undergone , but the application was rejected , and all that was done was to suspouc _^ from office tor a foi'tuight the person who had inflicted the torture . The writer of the letter bestows great censure on the government for rejecting the application for indemnity ; but the same reproach would apply to most other countries . Indeed , wc do not know one in which an indemnity is given to any person whose innocence has been recognised after having undergone the horrors of imprisonment , and even
condemnation . A Legal _Scouxduel . —At the Surrey Sessions on Wednesday , George Richard Fitt was indicted for defrauding Isaac Thomas Pcai'inain of sums of money amounting to £ 2 12 $ . Od ., under various pretences , he at the same time acting as attorney to thc prosecutor in a case at the late Surrey assizes . From the evidence of the prosecutor it appeared that tlieir son had been in the county gaol for some months previous to the last Surrey assizes , on a felonious charge , and that wishing to have professional assistance on his behalf , they employed the defendant to act ; and supplied him with money to retain Mr . Charnock , the barrister . This occurred a few weeks previously to the assizes ; and on a subsequent occasion he proceeded to the prosecutor ' s residence at
Thames Bitton , and informed him that the charge against his son had assumed a more serious aspect than might have first been anticipated , and that in consequence Mr . Charnock had desired him to say that he would require another counsel to assist in undertaking the defence , as he could not possibly talk and work against the three who had been retained for the prosecution ; thc latter words ho par ticularly ascribed to have been used by thc gentleman referred to . Owing to such representation the defendant receivcd . the sum of two guineas , though at the time thc prosecutor and his wife were suffering great distress . On another occasion the defendant said he would require the sum of 10 s . Gd . for drawing up a petition to a society which was established for the purpose of assisting poor persons , and which he was confident would award the sum of £ 10 on presentation by Mr . 'Charnock . He obtained that sum
accordingly , and on seeing the prosecutor and Ins wife a few days afterwards , he informed them that the application had been successful , and that they would receive the £ 10 at the termination of the trial . The prosecutor , however , soon found that there liad been no truth in any of the above statements . Thejury immediately returned a verdict of Guilty , and this chairman in passing sentence , observed that after receiving the necessary sums for conducting the defence of prosecutor's son , the defendant thought proper by gross misrepresentations to exact other amounts , which he ( the chairman ) was informed were actually the proceeds of sale of the poor man ' s bed . In justice to the class to which the prosecutor bcionned , as wcli as to thc pnbVicin general , he would , therefore , pass a sentence of twelve months' imprisonment on the defendant , with hard labour . The defendant was then removed .

Fire On Walworth Common.—On Sunday Night...
THE COLLOSSEUM . . , . We have recently paid avisitto this exhibition , which it is not enough to have seen onco ; it is the moSB delightful promenade in London , and will repay lrequent inspection . We need not say that the panorama of London by night is the chief * object of attraction in the evening exhibition ; but to convey an adequate idea of this extraordinary work of art 18 utterly impossible—it must be seen to be duly appreciated . The deception is most astonishing , and tha elaborate execution ofthe picture , together with the effects produced by the aid of mechanism , and other scenic appliances , is truly wonderful ; it is indeed quite a " new era in art . " The visitor may fancy himself elevated on the top of St . Paul ' s Cathedral on a clear moonlight evening , and , dwelling *
for awhile to accustom his eye to the light , ho see * spread out around him the " vast metropolis illuminated by its numberless lamps and brilliant shops , whilst from above the silver moon and twinkling stars—the immeasurable distances of which are admirably preserved—throw their reflection on the river , dotted as it is with the various craft , and ever and anon passing clouds veil the lustre of the bright luminary , and for a moment interrupt the rippling sheen which her refulgence throws upon the water-Add to this the admirable representation of the haze by which the great city is encompassed , reflecting the light from every street—the occasional striking o £ clocks , and the distant sounds of night music—all tending to render the delusion perfect—and the reader may have some faint conception of one ofthe most remarkable productions of the present age . We scarcely
know which most to admire , the boldness ot the conception , or the skill with which it has been executed ; suffice it to say , that the visitor can scarcely persuade himself that he is imposed upon by scenic effect whilst . surveying the mighty city , shadowed out by moonlight with the most elaborate detail , and presenting a coup d' ceil of startling and magnificent effect . The Glyptotheca , or saloon o £ arts ( which we have before described ) , with its beautiful sculpture , and the refreshment room , are brilliantly illuminated ; the stalactite caverns of Adel 3 » berg are necessarily exhibited by artificial light ; and we understand the spirited proprietor intends , in a few days , to light up the Swiss scenery , conservatories , and classic ruins . The Colosseum , ns a night exhibition will then be perfect . A very powerful organ , built by Bevington , and designed for the Glyptotheca , will be opened in a day or two .
