PRANCE . _ISOMER OCIBAGE _BT IUE TlRAXT LOUIS PlIILIPPE . _^ . 1 'i _. Bis , Dec . 6111 . — "To-day the _qnartier latin _yns in a state of great commotion , and somethin _g Tcrv like an emeute took place among the students' At " one o clock upwards of 2 , 000 students from the _ddfjent colleges assembled at the Sorbonne and proceeded thence in procession to the neighbourhood of tlie Luxemburg , where M . Quinet , the celebrated professor of the College of France , resides . The object of the procession was to do honour to M . Quinet lor having refused to deliver h ' ls course of lectures on tlic literature qftliesouth since the Minister of Public Instruction has mutilated his prospectus ,
by forbidding all mention of the institutions . The procession w * as very orderly , and no noise was made beyond occasional cries of * Vive Quinet / * A bas les Jesuites , ' & c . _^ On the arrival of the procession at M . Quiiiet _' s residence that gentleman appeared , and received a deputation sent to compliment him . He thanked tiie students for their sympathy , but requested that they would quietly disperse . Notice having been received by the authorities of the intended procession , a large body . of the municipal guards were on the spot ; and on the young men ciying out' A bas lea Jesuites . ' they charged along the streets , and several were run down and severel y _iurfc , bnt none were killed . Twenty or thirty _students have been arrested .
The Journal des Debats of Sunday , In noticing the _a-Eur between the police and the students , when the latter went to compliment M . Quinet , says that the reason why the police interfered was , that the procession was directing itself towards the hotel of the _Minister of Public Instruction , with the evident intention of insulting , if not injuring , that gentleman . The National denies this was the case . It says that the students , having delivered an address to M . Quinet , were retiring , when one of their number , who was at the head ofthe procession , called out , "The end of our meeting is now accomplished ; let us disperse : " and they were dispersing , when some agents of the police , in plain clothes , who had mixed among
the students , followed the young man , who gave the word to his fellow students to retire , and who was then separated from his companions , and arrested liim , at the same time using him with unnecessary violence . Some labourers and casual passengers , who observed this , expressed great indignation at the conduct of the police , and the young man , on his aide , called to his companions for help . An affray immediately followed . The student was rescued , and the municipal guards ( cavalry ) charged upon tho crowd , when a great number were trodden down , and about twenty were arrested . The National says that this is one of those odious scenes which will add a new page to the sanguinary history of the police since 1330 .
The Sicde publishes a document from M . Deschatel , l _' rotessor of Rhetoric in thc Royal College of Louis-le-Grand , which condemns , in the strongest terms , the conduct of the police in the disturbances -which took place in Paris on Saturday last . " Far be it from us , " says that journal , " to condemn the police force , which has such arduous duties to fulfil , without justgrounds : but let any one peruse the version of the affair given by M . Deschatel , an eye-witness , and it must appear evident that the police agents acted in a most unjustifiable manner . "
M . Emile Deschatel , the Professor of Rhetoric abuve referred to , was arrested on Saturday by the police , in the square of the Medical School , as one of the rioters . It was in Tain that he mentioned his profession ; he was collared and ill-treated by the poliee agents and municipal guards , together with twenty other persons , equally innocent . The prisoners were then placed between a doable file of soldiers , and thus marched through the city like malefactors to the Prefecture , where they remained confined until a _delegate of the Commissary of Poliee came to inquire into the cause of their arrest . M .
Deschatelremonsirated with that officer , but it was only after two or three hours' confinement that , no charge being adduced against liim , he was at last liberated . Some ofthe police agents havingpenetrated into the School ofAIedicine , in pursuit ofthe rioters , and arrested a number of the pupils who were quietly attending the lectures , or engaged in dissecting , M . Orfila , the doyen , caused the intruders to be expelled and the gates ofthe school to be closed , at the risk of being himself apprehended . lie next proceeded to the Prefecture , aud obtained from the Prefect the immediate release ofthe prisoners .
"It is not the _faultofthe police , " says the . National , "if the Place de _I'Ecoie de Medicine was not on Saturday the theatre oi a sanguinary collision . A great number of letters have been addressed to us , avhich all agree in stating that the police agents appointed to maintain order conducted themselves in -an unworthy , odious , and provoking manner . We -regret that we cannot , in onr present nnmber , publish those communications , but they are sonuraer ¦ _ous that we havenot had , tinie to analyse them . Besides thevoung meu ofthe sohools , several witnesses ,
_^ whese testimony cannot be suspected , amongst others a " captain of engineers on half-pay , two merchants , and a lawyer , have fully confirmed the above statement . " More Barbarities is _Aixjeria . —The Paris papers of Tuesday , publish letters from Algeria of the 19 th ult ., which give a description of an enormous . razzia made by Marshal Bugeaud inthe neighbour _hood of Ition , of which the horrors are so great that they must _shoek every one having feelings of Lumanity .
SPAIN . _ Maokid , Nov . 2 S . —Private letters from Barcelona represent the province of Catalonia , particularly those parts near the French frontier , to be in a state of much agitation , in consequence of the attempts made by the Captain-General to enforce the conscription , which is an object of so much hatred to the Catalans . It would appear that there are villages where the whole of the young men have absconded . Part of them have crossed the frontier , and otheis aro still remaining hid in the mountains . All seem _determined to abandon their homes and their families rather than submit to the stern discipline of a military life . _Several of the letters alluded to regard a risin" - in the _/ _fflpurdan as almost inevitable , in conthe
sequence of the rigorous measures adopted by Captain-General . The sudden departure of Breton frem Gerona , on the 20 tb , in the direction of Figueras , and _whh a considerable force of horse and foot , would show some foundation ior these fears . The discontent in that part ofthe kingdom , as well as other parts of Spain , is still greater when the inhabitants ¦ contrast the forbearance shown to the Basque pro-Tinces with theseverity practiced towards themselves . Neither conscription nor contribution has as yet been attempted to be enforced in that favoured part ofthe Peninsula ; and thoug h I have reason to believe that it is not the inteution of government always to except the Basques from the general contribution ot blood and money paid by the rest of the population , yet the exception heretofore made in their favour is not less remarkable , nor less galling to the
Catalans
POLAKD . The CossEiKAcr at PosE . v . —The Augsburgh Gazwt- publishes the following details of the conspiracy lately _discovereJin the capital of the Grand Due iy of Posen— "A soldier of the Gth regiment of the Line , by birth a Pole , quartered at Gross Glogau , _, m Prussian Silesia , obtained a forlough . On leaving he told some ofhis comrades that perhaps he should never comeback ; and that if he didit would be ma _character different from that in which he then was . This was reported to the commander of thercgiment , and roused suspicions , which induced him to stop the man and put him under arrest . Upon him were ibuud a proclamation to the people of Pohm _^ draits of letters in the Polish language , containing the plans of the conspirators , and the names of the chiefs , almost all of whom are nobles of the third and fourth _classes . The plans were—first , to endeavour to wm _ArortlmPidUhnpasantsbv _nromisiug them liberty ,
with many advantages ; secondly , to surprise a smaU town situated near the city of Sulmierrzyche , kill all the Jews who live in it , thereby drawing thither the _garrisonKrotoizyce _, and during _itsabsenceseize all the provisions and ammunition with wiwsh lvrotorzvee is stored , distribute them among the lolisn peasant _^ and thereby enable them to continue the insurrection . The conspirators proDOsed carrying their projects into execu tion onthe 29 th -November _, the anniversary of the insurrection of 1 _S-j 0 . me The Prussian government has reinforced all tue garrisons of the Grand Duchy with troops drawn from Silesia .

Bruges , Dec . 3 . —Yesterdav and to day , bands of workmen have been traversing the streets of this ; « ty . 1 hey go to the principal manufacturers to ask i ior work , which is refused , because those persons cannot pay workmen whom they cannot employ . : lhe workmen have also been to the burgomaster to 1 represent their situation and to demand work ; Ihese assemblages have hitherto been peaceable , , but we do not see them formed without apprehension . ry
SWITZERLAND _, lhe Executive Council of Lucerne proposed , on the 2 nd instant , a decree of amnesty tothe Grand Council . The first article stipulates that the individuals implicated in thc events ofthe Sth of December , 1344 , and the 31 st of March and the 1 st of April , i _* ji 5 , shall pay a sum of 433 , 748 Swiss francs , before the 15 th of January , _184 G . When that sum shall have heen paid , they will be liable to no other penalty than the deprivation of the rights of citizens . Twelve individuals , amongst whom where Dr . Steiger , and those who should net present themselves to the authorities before the 15 th of January , 1 S 4 C , were to be excluded from * the benefit of the amnesty . No capital sentence was to be executed , except in the case of Dr . Steiger . The proposition was referred by the Grand Council to a committee of nine members .
THE RIVER PLATE . _LivEitrooL , Saturday . —Accounts to the 27 th of September inclusive have been received from Buenos Ayres per the Sara Johanna , arrived * in the Channel . The contents are important . The contemplated blockade of tbe port had been instituted on the 24 th . The term allowed for the departure of neutral _vessel had been extended to thirty days . The British and French Ministers had addressed to the Argentine Government a strong note , detailing the grievances of which they complain .
REPORTED REVOLUTION IN BUENOS AYRES . The Madrid papers of the 3 rd mention that accounts had been brought by a vessel , which arrived at Malaga from La Plata , of an insurrection at Buenos Ayres , in consequence of which the British and French entered that city , and deposed the President Rosas . It is probable that this is but an _exaggerated edition of the taking of Colonia . No date is given .
ALGERIA , The intelligence from Algiers of the 30 th ult . is thus summed up by the Reforme : — Each mail from Africa brings fresh proofs of the incapacity of Governor-General Bugeaud . "Whilst the Mar shal was slowly moving in the south-west of the province of Algiers , and marching and _counter-marching during thirty-four days , without auy result , Abd-el-Kader left the sub-division of Tlemcen , traversed the whole province of Oran , passed repeatedly within a few leagues of Marshal Bugeaud , who believed liim to have re-eutered
Morocco , reached Tiaret the moment the latter evacuated the place , crossed fhe mountains of . Matmata whilst Marshal Bugeaud was amusing himself by measuring their altitude , and then , by a bold and decisive _manmuvre , resolutely advanced towards the south-east to invade the province of Constantine , leaving far behind him Algiers , Marshal Bugeaud , and our columns , which he most skilfully turned and avoided . Togive an idea of his boldness , we need only observe , that he is now upwards of a hnndred leagues distant from the point at which he entered our territory .

"HOLT ALLIANCE" OF THE POPE WITn THE TYRANT NICHOLAS . Since the article , in our 7 th page , on " Tbe Pope and the Autocrat , " was in type , we have seen the _following news from Frankfort , confirmatory of our views as to the alliance ofthe Pope with Nicholas . If the following is true , Poland is finally and completely betrayed by the _spiritualdespot ofthe Vatican . The Frankfort Journatstates , that the differences between the Court of St . Petersburg ! and that of Rome have been arranged , and that Russia will , in future , strenuously avoid all harsh measures against the Roman Catholic Church , whilst the Holy See is to take care that the Catholic Church shall not interfere in any movements against the state .

This island is about 300 miles long , and from 75 to 100 in width .
Mexican Suxday Amusements . —Mexico , Oct . 28 . —Last Sunday a fight between a lion , brought over from England for the purpose , and a Mexican bull , was to take place on the Plaza de _Toros , whicli is fitted up after the fashion ofthe Roman circus . The place was crowded to excess , in the expectation ot seeing something very beautiful ; but the people were disappointed , for upon the lion being let out , instead of attackingthe bull , as was expected , he laid himself very quietly down , and all the poking which he received from the people , and the worrying of some dogs whichwereletin uponhim , couldnotbringhim to fight . This was perhaps natural , for when he entered , he was received with such a shout from the populace , that he was completely cowed , which the continued shouting of course increased : the noise at the same time increasing , the people calling out " Qui viva el toro Mevicano , qui niuero el lion , " & c , they considering it as a great triumph for the Mexican bull . The next day a publication was sold in the street , entitled *• El glorioso Triumfo del T 010 Mcxicano . "
The Pope and the Czar . —A Berlin letter of the 27 tk ult ., in the Journal de FrarJcfort , states that all the differences between the Emperor of Russia and the Pope , on the subject of the Catholic Church in Russia , have been settled to the entire satisfaction of both parties . A New Race of People , of very superior intelligence and morals , is said to have been discovered in Africa , near the mission established by the American board at the Saboon . The Moxks of St . Bernard . —We lately mentioned that an accident had lately taken place on the St . Bernard , by wliich the lives of one of the monks ,
and three domestics attached to the hospital , were sacrificed . ThelatterwereinhabitantsoftheValais , aud the former was M . Cart , canon of _Gallanches , in Faucigny . The accident arose from an enormous avalanche from Mont-Morttotheeastof the hospital . It was in contemplation to trace out the road along the Combe , on the side ol the valley , and Canon Cart , who was known to bc bold , robust , and the most intrepid among the brethren in braving storms , went to direct the operations , as several travellers were expected on that day ; he and his three companions were thus cut off while in the performance of an act of hospitality and charity . —Galignani's Messenger .

LATE FIRE IN BARBICAN . ConosEn's Inquiry . —On Wednesday an inquiry of several hours duration was gone iuto before William Payne , Esq ., Coroner for the City , and a j ury of inhabitants of the ward of Cripplegate "Without , for the purpose of ascertaining the cause of the fire which took place on Sunday night last , in the neighbourhood of Barbican , some few particulars ol which are g iven in another column .

She _wentthere , and saw flames through the crevices of ( It 7 _™ _i ? » n 1 d t _] 1 _e"indow . s above . Her nephew iv _i , \ V AII ¥ , " _* £ _ad-Ml-room below of Mr . n _»< il- _% " _^ v . r A lalk very mysteriously . On thel , thot November I recollect him speaking about fire . It took placein Mr . Allen ' s school-room I went there to see my nephew , and found Mr . Ford there waiting . to see Mr . Allen , who was absent . Conversation ensued between us , and he asked if my nephew was insured . I told him I knew ] le was not , but that he was Just on the point of being so . Mr . _tord replied that he wished he was , which made me wonder why he ( Mr . Ford ) should be so anxiousabout it . Alter using a great many _ambicuous words , he
looked round the room , and said if a fire was to take place there , it would not go beyond those walls . I told liim it was m a close court , with a great many small houses in it , and that it was impossible to tell where the consequences would stop . He replied that it would be confined to the corner , and would not go beyond the walls . 1 then asked him whether He intended to set the place on fire , telling bim it would be a dangerous experiment to try . He laughed , and said , "Oh no , he hoped not ; he hoped to carry on business there vet . " Mr . Alfred " Victor Allen , of No . 2 , _Bunhill-row _, _school-master , said he took the lower part of Mr Ford ' s premises from him at Michaelmas last , but did not enter into occupation until the month of
October . The last time he was on the premises was on Saturday last about two o ' clock , which ho left quite safe . He was not insured for one farthing , and the property he had lost in the fire would amount to from £ S 0 to £ 100 . He had been into the portion of the premises belonging to Mr . Ford . No business was carried on and they were filled with stores of type in cases , old iron , paper , and other things . He never saw such a heterogenous collection before . There were two rooms on the ground-floor , with a sort of loft above the room over the gateway . Both rooms on the ground floor came against the partition of his school-room . There were bundles of paper lying about in all directions about the premises .
Coroner : Have you ever had any conversation with him about insurance ? _Mn Allen : Yes , he has asked me several times if I was insured , and has shown me his policy of insurance . ' I told him that I intended to insure : and the last time he _snoke to me about it , I told him that I had been about it . ' He told me that his policy had been altered . First , beeause of my having . 1 stove on my premises ; secondly , property which had not been insured before ; and , thirdly , that he had found out a secret of insurance , by having his rent insured for . twelve months . On one occasion , whilst _talking of the insurance , Mr . Ford looked round the premises and said , " Mr . Bassingham ' s wall is a thirteen-inch wall , and the house-wall and buildings on the other side a nine-inch wall , and if a fire occurred it would only clear out the corner . "
Henry Andrew Mallet , engineer of the Whiteerossstation ofthe Fire Brigade , alter stating that he was called to the fire on Sunday night , said that he had made an examination ofthe premises that day ( _Taesday ) , at twelve o ' clock , and found a quantity of paper saturated with turpentine , in the further corner ot Mr . Ford ' s premises , also _somesbavings in the same spot . The shavings were also saturated with turpentine ; under them was a layer of coal tar , shavings , and paper , upon the floor . He also found some brimstone at thesamespot . A quantity of the paper and shavings were here prodnced by the witness , and examined by the coroner and jury .
William Taylor , a yonng man living in Braim ' sbuildings , deposed to seeing Mr . Ford go into the premises on Saturday night , about eleven o ' clock , and smelling a strong smell of pitch . On that night he saw a strong light in the window as spoken of by the lirst _Xvitness , and on the Sunday evening smelt a strong and choking smell of pitch . Mr . John Edward Green , of Whitecross-street , agent to the Imperial Fire Insurance , deposed tu letting thc premises in Braim ' s-buildings to Ford . Six weeks back he wished to increase his insurance on his stock and implements of business only , the premisos being insured before . The old policy was cancelled , and witness obtained a new one whicli lie
has still in his possession . The premium was increased from 4 s . Cd . to 10 s . Cd ., and the insurance was effected as follows : —Stock , ior _d 6185 ; furniture , £ 20 ; goods entrusted , £ 20 ; watches and trinkets , £ 10 ; and a year ' s rent , £ 10 . The whole insurance upon the premises and all , amounting to £ 410 . The Coroner asked Mr . Ford if he wished to say anything , but at the time telling him that if he took his advice he would say nothing . Mr . Ford said he should like to say a few words . He admitted tbat he was there on Saturday night for the purpose of clearing aroom out in which to put some furniture , but declared that it was a mystery how the fire occurred .
The Coroner addressed the jury at some length , and left it to them to say whether they were of opinion that the fire had been caused by accident or wilfully . The room having been cleared of strangers , the jury , after some consultation , returned a verdict , " That the fire Had been wilfully caused , and that George John Ford was guilty of arson . " The Coroner said he would not commit Mr . Ford that night , but would allow him to be brought before the magistrate at Guildhall police court the next day .
Embezzlement Of Cmn Moneys.—At The Meeti...
Embezzlement of _Cmn Moneys . —At the meeting of the Croydon bench of magistrates on Saturday , a person of respectable appearance , named James Tonipson , who formerly filled the office of secretary to the Mitcham Block-printers' Benefit Society , was charged with having unlawfully embezzled and secreted £ 30 , the moneys of the society . Mr . Humphreys , solicitor , appeared in support of the charge , and Air . Hill attended on behalf of the defendant . From the evidence adduced , it appeared that in the year 1839 the Mitcham Society lent two sums of £ 20 to the Bookbinders' Society , and this sum remained outstanding until the year 1 S 44 , when it was repaid in four sums of £ 10 each , and at this period it appeared that the defendant acted as secretary nnd treasurer . to the association , and it was alleged that
he had only accounted for one of these sums of £ 10 , and had appropriated thc remaining £ 30 to his own use . Mr . Wade , who acted as secretary at the period when the loan waa advanced , proved that fact , and he likewise stated that the entries ofthe advance of the two sums of £ 20 which were made in the books of the Mitcham Society , had both been altered to £ 10 , but he was unable toconjecture by whom the alteration had been made . Mr . Dunning , the secretary to the Bookbinders'Society , proved that atvarious periods during the latter end ofthe year 1 S 44 and the commencement of 1815 , he made four payments of £ 10 to the defendant , as secretary of the Mitcham Club , in repayment ofthe money that had been advanced by them . In cross-examination , the witness said that thc money was advanced to assist the men against theii
masters during a strike . Mr , Hill then made some further inquiries as to whether a sum of £ 1 , 500 had not been expended for the same object ; but Mr . Humphreys objected , and contended that an inquiry of this description was entirely irrelevant , as the magistrates had nothing to do with the question whether the society , or the object for which the money was advanced , was legal or illegal , but the only point at issue was , whether the defendant had embezzled the money or not . The magistrates decided that they would not go into the question of the legality or illegality of the object for which the money wa _* advanced , but should confine themselves strictly to the question of embezzlement . The magistrates , after a short deliberation , said they thought there was sufficient evidence to warrant them in sendin <>
the case for further investigation , but they should take the personal recognizance of the defendant in £ 40 , with two sureties in £ 20 each , for his appearance at the assizes to answer the charge . _IxcENDunv Fire at _Fornham . —Between twelve and one o'clock on Sunday morning last , a fire was discovered upon the farming premises of Mr . Witt , of Fornham . Mr . Witt , we understand , had retired to rest , and was just passing into sleep , when his attention was attracted to a flickering lig ht in thc room ; he instantly rose , and looking out , discovered his stacks on fire . An alarm was given , and in the course of ten minutes a surprising throng of people collected , the Rev . Mr . _Benyon ' s coachman with the rev . gentleman ' s engine being promptly on the spot . Information speedily arriving in Bury , theengines of
the Norwich Union and the Suffolk _Fireofhce were despatched with all expedition , reaching Mr . Witt ' s premisesabout half-past one . It was found impossible to bring the whole of the engines into play , the scarcity of water and the distance from which it had to be brought rendering the efforts of two ofthe engines altogether nugatory . Meanwhile the flames had made such rapid progress , throwing up a red reflection in the air , whieh was seen from a great distance . The utmost exertions were made to subdue thc raging element and save the property . But the deficiency of water defeated every effort . No water could be obtained nearer than the river , and two engines therefore had to be kept constantly emp loyed to
supply one , the Norwich Union , which alone could be brought to bear upon the flames . This arose from not having a sufficient length of hose , the three engines having to join together to convey water from the river , which being pumped from one to the othor , readied at last the sole engine that could be effectually employed . Five stacks were consumed , a pea stack , two straw stacks , a liny stack , and a clover stack . Had the wind been favourable to the design f the incendiary the whole ofthe premises must have been totally destroyed . On the whole the peop le collected behaved very well , but some observations were heard passing from one to the other which showed that there was a bad feeling rankling in the bosom of some of them .

G . — ' 1 liis town ana ' neighbourhood have for some time suffered considerable * inconvenience from the nondelivery of'lettersant _. newspapers ; this evil at length increased to such an _extent , notwithstanding every attempt was made to tr _*> ce it to its origin , that
recourse was eventually had to the Postmaster-General , who , upon being made _ncgnainted with the particulars , thought the most adfisable step would be to send down Mr . It . W . Peacock , the solicitor to the 1 _' ost-oliice , and that gentleman accordingly arrived horc on Thursday , when he _obtaissd all thc information he could , alter whicli he came * to tho conclusion that William Garrett , a young man eniplovcd to deliver the letters in Rugby , was tiss guilty " party , and in order to ascertain whether he was correct or not in his suspicions . Mr . Peacock caused a half sovereign to be marked on both sides , and then enclosed 111 a letter , which was put into the sost-oliice at Rugby , and subsequentl y delivered into the hands 01 Garrett In the meantime application was made iv ¦ 1 J ' l _*» a magistrate of the county of Warwick , for a warrant to search the premises occupied by Garrett , tbe result of which was , that he was brought before H .

Moultrie , to-day , charged with hating stolen a number of lettors containing monev _, & c , the property ofthe I ostmaster-Gcneral . From the evidence it appeared that when the prisoner ' s house _haasearched , the officer discovered upwards ol' one hundred letters addressed to various persons at Rugbv , and two or three addressed to different individuals at Oxford _, besides fragments of others , in a partially . consumed state were found in the fireplace up stairs ; in addition to these there were a great number of newspapers addressed to persons in Rugby , and also two silver pencil-cases , besides a variety of jewellery , ic . Seventeen letters , and several newspaper s were also found on the person of the prisoner . Suffic i ent evidence having been given to justify tho court in remanding . the prisoner , his further examination was adjourned to allow time for those parties who reside at a distance to come forward and identity the several articles that were found in possession of the prisoner .
Intrepid Coxduct of a Young Fumale . —On Tuesday evening Mr . Baker held an inquest at the London Hospital , on thebody of Emma _Kealey , aged 21 , a servant to a lady named loung , residing in Nichol-square , Hackney-road . It appeared that on Thursday last , the deceased was washing in the back kitchen , when the lower part of her dress caught fire by coming _jh contact with the copper flue , she rushed into the street enveloped in flames , when' she was observed by a young lady named Wasford , who resided next door , who immediately seized the door mat , and ran to her assistance , and placing her in a silting position threw it over her , and then procuring water succeeded in extinguishing the lire ; by her exertions she burnt herself very severely .

_HonniBLE MunsEn near _Bormsokane . —In addition to a long catalogue of " Tipperary outrages , " contained in the Dublin news of Wednesday , we observe the following account of a perpetration of a murder , under the niost revolting circumstances , near Borrisohane , on Monday evening . The victim in this instance was a man of the name of _lloman . lie had heen in Portusnna , we understand , during the day , disposing of corn , and was returning homewards leading his horse and car , when , at the gate of Kyle Park , he was waylaid and shot dead . The weapon , it is thought , was a blunderbuss , which must have been placed near the body of the unfortunate man , as the clothes were torn by the shot , and partially burned .
A _Melancholy Accident * occurred a few days ago , at Tivetshall , to the Rev . John Neville White , the rector of that parish .. It appears that he hsd for many months past been suffering from defective vision , and on Tuesday last , in thc afternoon , he- had occasion to go into a plantation on his premises , where he had been felling some poles , for the purpose of looking at them before tliey were sold . These poles were lying close by the pond , and it is supposed Mr . White stumbled against the stumps of somo of the trees in the path , and was precipitated into the
water . His body was not found for several hours afterward- ; he was then , of course Quite dead . The following day au inquest was held on the body , before Mr . John Pilgrim , j un ., deputy coroner . After hearing the evidence , which was of a most conclusive nature , the jury immediately returned a verdict that the deceased was accidentally drowned . The reverend gentleman bore a most amiable and honourable character , was greatly beloved in his parish , and by a large circle of friends , lie was the brother of the pout , Henry Kirke White , and was in the 01 st year of his age . —Bury Post .
_ExinAonnmnY Footitude . — The Edinburgh Weekly Chronicle narrates the following extraordinary instance of presence of mind and fortitude . A fendays ago , Samuel Mason , tentorin one of Mr . Swan ' s mills near Kilkaldy , met with a severe accident in the following manner : —Having observed a cord entangled with one ofthe belts , he went up a ladder to relieve the same ; but , on doing so , the slack portion of the cord took a turn round his left thumb and arm as it was drawn onward bythe movement of the belt . Being thus fixed , he foresaw his instant destruction if drawn up to the pulley by the belt , and , with singular fortitude anil presence of mind , ho grasped a column close by with his arms and legs , and held on till his arm was literally sawed and torn asunder : being thus relieved , he slid down the column to the floor , took oil'his bonnet and clapped it 011 the
bleeding stump , holding it with his hand , rushed out , and across the street to his father-in-law . where , exhausted and breathless , he fell on thc floor , before the engine was set oif , being the first means by which any assistance could have been rendered him . An express was immediately despatched for surgical aid to Kilkaldy , a distance of more than two miles , when his arm was amputated above the torn part ; but , finding the bone so much injured , they made another amputation a little below the shoulder-joint _, lie stood the operations well , though he must have been much exhausted from the loss of blood and the unavoidable length of time that elapsed before surgical assistance could be rendered . Nevertheless , after being carried to his own house in a chair , he went up his own stairs on his feet , and has since been doing wonderfully well .
Fatal Accident on London Bridoe . — On Tuesday Mr . W . Payne held an inquest in St . Thomas ' s Hospital , on the body of William Ford , aged thirtyseven years . Deceased was the conductor of one of Wheatley ' s omnibuses , and whilst proceeding over London-bridge on the morning of Saturday , the 22 nd ult ., towards High-street , Southwark , the strap behind the vehicle gave way , and the deceased was precip itated into the carriage , and before the driver could stop the horses he was dragged several yards along the ground by his feet , which by some means
got entangled in the iron scroll-work fixed on the steps , several of the foot-passengers ran to him , and extricated him from his frightful position in a state of insensibility . Deceased was removed by two police-constables to the accident-ward of the above hospital , where it was _aacertaiHcd that he had received a fracture of the left leg below the knee . The deceased progressed very _. _avourably for the first week , but inflammation of the lungs and pleura subsequently came on , causing his death on Sunday morning last . Verdict in accordance with thc medical testimony .
Allboed Death j ? im » i _Violence . — On Monday morning Mr . William Carter , the coroner for Surrey , and a jury , opened an inquiry in the Board-room of Lambeth workhouse , relative to the death of Eliza Stokes aged 21 years , late a pauper in the above house , who it was alleged had died from the effects of violence : —Mr . Thomas Oliver Duke , one of the parochial surgeons , residing at No . 17 , llarleyfordplace , Kennington-common , deposed that the deceased came under his notice about tlio 14 th ol November , as a deceased pauper . Witness placed her under the usual treatment . She had a violent cough and difficulty of breathing . The symptoms increased ,
and on the 27 th she became much excited , in consequence of some violence used by two females who were in the same ward , and when witness arrived she had given birth to a child . Deceased had a bruise on the left temple . Witness did not take any particular notice of the bruise at first sight , as it seemed of a very slight nature . Witness attended her daily until the morning of Wednesday last , when she died in the absence of witness . Coroner : When you saw tlie deceased after death , did you attribute her decease to the injury on the head , or to any other act of
violence ? Witnes : I did , sir , at first in my own mind , but have since made apost mortem examination of the body . There was no injury to the skull and scalp . The brain and its membranes were rather congested . The lungs were diseased and very much inflamed , and were adhering to the pericardium . The ribs were sound , the abdomen and viscera were also healthy . Witness was of opinion that the deceased died from natural causes , resulting upon the deceased state of her body , which had probably been aoeel & _itated by excitement . The jury recorded a verdict of— " Death from natural causes . "
Daring Robbeiiy . —On Saturday night , between six and seven o clock , a man called nt the door of Mrs . Angus , residing near the foot of Crown-street , _Hutchesontown _, on the pretence . - of asking charity . Mrs . Angus , who answered the call , declined to serve him on which the man pushed , her aside and entered the house . Immediately _thereafter a female , who was not before observed , made ' ner appearance , and _sciz ,. ing Mrs . Angus by the throat , threw her upon the floor , and held her there ' . nth a firm "rasp . A second man . at this moment _puffed past tliem , from tlio stair ,

and joining the one who had first entered , the two commenced , to plunder the liouse , there being no grown-up-person , with the exception of Mrs . Angus , present . They laid hold of a silver watch , two pairs of blankets , a tartan shawl , a girl ' s velvet tippet , a cotton gown , and some other _articles-of smaller value , and made an attempt to force a trunk , in which , however , they were unsuccessful . Tho party then hurriedly left the house , taking the articles * abovenamed along with them . __ _* 11 this time Mrs . Angus _iras under the hands of the female , and unable to make the least resistance ; there were children in the house , but o ' f such an age as to render them incapable of giving any alarm to tbe neighbours In these cir . _cumstaikies the miscreants made their escape . A more dari . ng instance of robbery we have seldom been called upon to record within the limits of the city ; and we _earnestly trust that the police will be able to secure the depredator ? , so as to insure the punishment which so serious a crime deserves . —Glasgow Argus .
Melancholy Ac'cidot . — On Wednesday week , about mid-day , a par . * " ) ' consisting of four young men and a girl left the boa _^ -house of Inverdruie , _llothiemurchus , for the purpos * of crossing the Spey . Their names were John Munro , John Macmiilan , and Janet _Macdonald—all from UiOuhart ; John Mackintosh from Strathnairn ; and A ngus Macdonald , from Knoydart . Owing to the lat •*« heavy falls of rain in the district , the river was very J > _' s' > . and having partaken of some refreshment , aft ° r reaching the opposite shore , the party found themselves surrounded with water in the direction they intended to take . To avoid the distance of going ro'und , which would not be less than half a mile , they proposed taking the boat across , and after they got well o _* ver _, it was discovered a safe landing-place could not be found . They plied the oars for somo time , and fltlast were borne down with the impetuous stream , until thc boat struck against a tree " , and thc whole * "Pere precipitated into the water . Macdonald and
Mackintosh instantly disappeared . Monro being a pswerfiil young man , succeeded in swimming ashore . Macmiilan got his breast across a strong branch < _# the tree , and the girl got hold below , standing in vmter to the shoulders , and Macmiilan grasping her from above . It Yery fortunately happened that some shepherds were near at the time , and hearing cries for help , they proceeded to the spot , and in less than half an hour scores of people were congregated on * both sides ofthe river . Boats were procured with as little delay as possible , and several ineffectual attempts were made to rescue the unfortunate sufferers . Macmiilan held the young woman fast with one hand for an hour and a-half . No boat , however , getting near them , and his strength failing , he could retain his hold no longer , and the girl was swept away bythe remorseless current , By three o ' clock he _wiis rescued from his perilous situation , through the praiseworthy exertions of Lieutenant John Gordon , of the 05 th Regiment . The parties drowned were all unmarried .
Extensive Fires in Birjiinoiiam . —On Saturday morning an extensive fire broke out in the premises ol Mr . Archer , japanner , Summer-lane , in the above town . It appears that at two o ' clock in the morning a man named Walton , who remained up to feed the fire and attend to the drying-rooms , perceived smoke issuing from the lower store-room , and on opening the door he saw the place on fire , and flames bursting out ofthe windows . The alarm wasimmediately given _, and the engines were promptly in attendance ; but before they could succeed in extinguishing the fire
about £ 2 , 000 worth ol property were destroyed . The cause of the fire is yet unknown . A second lire took place about thc same hour , at Flint-green , two miles from Birminghani . A number of men were immediately dispatched to the spot , and on their arrival they found a rickyard , containing two stacks oi wheat , two stacks of barley , two ricks of hay , two stacks of peas , and one of clover , with a barn and stables , all in flames . In a short time the whole oi the property , estims . ted at about £ 1 , 000 , was destroyed .
The Berkeswell _Murdeu . —Nathaniel Sharp , the _supfosbd _CuLritii , i » Custody . —In the course of Wednesday morning , police constable ilohnes , of the Coventry force , took a young-looking fellow , ol about twenty years of age , before the Mayor ol Coventry and other magistrates , on suspicion of being concerned in the murder of Thomas Tranter , an old resident in the parish of Berkeswell , but who was killed by some person unknown on the 17 th ultimo . The Hall of St . Mary ' s \ v . _ s much crowded . The prisoner gave his name as James Reed—same name as the person who is supposed to have committed the murder , aud who has likewise absconded , and the particulars of his apprehension are these : —He is a
labourer , out of employment , and came from Denham , in Buckinghamshire , twenty-three miles from Aylesbury _, lie was detained at the Aylesbury Policeoffice , as applying there on Saturday night last for a bed , on his giving thc name of James Reed . The attention of the officer in waiting was more particularly directed to him on giving this name and examined him closer . It appears that , in his opinion , he corresponded with the description given in tingovernment Gazette of Young Reed , of Berkeswell and he was accordingly detained , Holmes brought him to Coventry on Tuesday night , he was examined on _Wednesday , and will be further remanded until Friday , when he will be taken before the magistrate ! ofthe county
Robbeiiy and Suspkcted Murder _kuar East Reword . —On Tuesday last an inquest was holden al Laneham , near East-Uetford , on the body of Mr . Robert Draper , an eccentric gentleman of that place , who came by his death , as was supposed , by a fit oi apoplexy . Circumstances , however , exciting suspicion , tiie body was exhumed , and on the inquest it eame out that thc deceased liad been robbed by his housekeeper , named Harriet Baxter Trevor , and a labouring man named Troop , of valuable property to a large amount . The evidence of the medical witnesses excited strong suspicion that the deceased gentleman came to his death by violence , but thejury returned a verdict , "That Mr , Draper died on tin-8 th day of November , IS 15 , but that no satisfactory evidence had been given to them as to thc cause ol death . " The two servants confessed to the robbery , and on Wednesday last were both committed to tin * house of correction at Southwell , to take their trials nt the next Retford sessions .
Fire in _BrsnorsoATB-WiTiiouT . —A most extensive fire occurred on Friday night , shortly before eleven o ' clock , in the Catherine-wheel , and George-court , _Bishopsgate-without , by which a lofty erection of lour floors was burned trom the base to the roof . A vast quantity of valuable property was destroyed , ami the beautiful chapel , known as _Bishopigato Chapel , so far jeopardised , that for some time the greatest fears were entertained for its safety . Overflowing or the Thames — Disastrous Effects . —In consequence of the prevalence of the north-east winds , and the gale of Thusday morning , which forced tho water up the Channel , thc river overflowed its banks on Thursday night , and the tide rose to a great height . At midnight the sudden rushing of the waters over the cnbankments ofthe Thames
ami through the wharfs and alleys leading into the streets , aroused the inhabitants from their slumbers , and a scene of indescribable confusion took place . A great many persons were saved in Wapping , Shadwell _, the numerous courts and alleys _^ leading out ol Bankside and other places by the activity of the police , those of the Thames division being very assiduous in their exertions . An hour before the time named in the calendar for tlie primary high water , the river was several inches above the usual level , and it continued to flow with a velocity wliich astonished the oldest watermen and lightermen , until five minutes after one o ' clock yesterday morning , an hour
b -yond the time named for high water at _Loudonbi'idae , when the tide was one inch higher at tlie St . Katherine's-dock-gates than it was in November , 1841 , when a similar disastrous visitation occurred . It would be impossible to recount a tithe of iho hairbreadth escapes from drowning , or to give anything like a complete list of thc houses , warehouses ,, granaries , wharfs , and other buildings damaged by the inundation . From Gravesend to Putney tho foes of property on both shores has been immense . Lliappily there has been no loss of life , but a gre ? . t number of poor families have suffered ereat loss , and will ,, in consequence , contnue to sillier mueh discomfort for some time to come .
The Italian Free School. [From The Exami...
THE ITALIAN FREE SCHOOL . [ From the Examiner } , The Italian Free School , in _Orc-iille-street ,. Leather-lane , whose excellent and _benevolent _objects we have on former occasions alluded to . has lately celebrated its fourth anniversary . Tho school rooms were crowded with above 200 of tlie pupils ; and among them were seated several ladies anil geatleuicii of rank who have taken au interest , in . theii * welfare . A distribution of prises took place amidst much _pleasing excitement Mid cheerful applause ; after whieh the director , Mr . Pisirucci , » nd the founder , Mr . Mazzini , wi _»_ > V two oilier- _gefchlemen . spoke forcibly and eloquently on the- stoie of the school , its objects and its _resources , _x and _ti- __ 3 evening closed with a highly interesting " charity feast , " prepared for the pupils , ai the expense * f the- directors .
_ThisSc-ifa Gratuita . _Ualiana . was . founded in 1 S 41 , and first opened on the- 10 th of November- ot that year . It was intended ibr the . _improvement of all poor Italians , without _distinction ; . but thietly for that of those organ boys , and traders in _p laster casts , above one thousand ol ' _wiom aw . now toiling in thc streets of London , and along _thfrthoi-wighfates in the country . The school is opened for twohours and a half every evening ( Monday excepted ) , and for three hours asd a halt ' on Sundays * . on the latter day , in addition to the humbler branches of instruction , a lecture on moral , historical , or scientific subjects , being delivered at half-past eight . The pupils are instructed in the Italian and English languages , in rending and writing , arithmetic and mechanics , geography , drawing , & c . None of the masters , witli the _exceptiona l * two , receive any emolument . Writing and drawing materials , boohs , paper , & e . are afforded _gratuitously to the pupils .
The Italian Free School. [From The Exami...
The school was originally supported by tno voluntary subscriptions of Italian gentlemen residing is London ; but soon Lady Noel Byron , Mrs . _M'iner Gibson Mr . Thomas Carlyle , Sir . James Clarke , Mr . Mill , Mr . Toynbec , and others , offered their co-operation and patronage ; so that English beneficence contributes now a very amp le share toward the support of this foreign institution . On the other hand , the school has had also its opponents . The many hundreds of boys crowding its rooms from every quarter roused the suspicions ot _theagentsof the Italian Government in this country , who _apprehended in it a hot-bed of rebellion , and whose fertile imagination conjured up a _leirion of organ boys organized in formidable ranks in _Greville-strect , and marching , under the orders of Mr . Mazzini , to the conquest of Italy . The priests of the Roman Catholic chapels in London also wilfully
misconstrued the school into a seminary of atheism and infidelity , for no other apparent reason than tho distribution of New Testaments in the Italian language yearly madcamongthcboyn . Thc father Baldacconi , on this ground , openly cried anathema to the school from the pulpit of the Sardinian Chapel . But itj most formidable enemies were thc padroni , or masters of the poor Italian mendicants , who , under the pretence of apprenticeship , have , the wretched organplayers under absolute control-. These had caught the war-cry from ihe priests _i * and by severe flogging and starvation they succeeded _^ - to a great extent , in thinning thc ranks of the _sshool . Many of the pupils with tears in their eyes delivered up their books to their kind master . ** , a ) _l * intercourse with whom had become out ofthe _question : and 3110 I 1 was the effeet , _ even on some of the _subscriber , that at the end of thc second year tho school was t _'_ i * _eafloned with imminent ruin .
I he irresistible power of a really gto'l and human ? design , however , and tlie pcrsevcrnyce ofthe school ' s founders and friends , have weathered Sic storm , and though a larger number of permanent ; subscribers * would be a great desideratum , yet we learpr . with peculiar pleasure that the large amount of occasional bounties leaves no uneasiness as to the prosperous contintianee of this admirable and most charitable institution . We have-thought that this brief statement might interest our readers . If they think it worth while to inquire farther for themselves , they will find much more to interest them , * and , ffe will " venture to add , to engage their active help and sympathy .
