      Monday , Mr . Wakjw _, M , l \ , held an inquest at the bt . Mary ebone workhouse , on the body of Wm . _Francis Harrison , Esq ., aged 57 , a gentleman of _tt ud m _™ _f ° f the Royal Antiquarian _aueiotj _* . It appeared from the evidence of a young gentleman , deceased ' s son , that last week his father came to town to attend a meeting at Somerset House ot the abeve societ y ; that he was subject to paralytic attacks , and had one In February last , the eft ' ects of Which disordered his intellect occasionally . He had Come to town alone , and would have been offended if any of his family offered to accompany him and look

      ailfii * him . A cabman proved that on Friday forenoon last deceased , who was returning from the cattle show , hailed him at the southern end of Bakerstreet , and desired to be driven to King Williamstreet , City . As they were passing the corner of Wimpole and _Welbeck-street , deceased pulled the check-string , and bid witness step into a publichouse , and fetch a glass of water . Witness did so , and deceasedI having just sipped a small portion of the water , fell backwards inthe cab , and began foaming atthe mouth . Witness drove him to the house of Mr . M Clure , a surgeon in _Harley-street , _buUeeeased died before his a _„* _iyai there , Verdict-i

      _^ Fobfab . —On the forenoon of Wednesday Do . , our community was thrown into an awful _atete ( ' _^ meat , owing to a report having got abroad thatV _* Brown and- —M'Leish , two labourers here h Ai ® 1 suffocated while engaged in repairing a well on tl _^ perty of Mr . Barclay , writer , situate a smBU Wa | f . pr - southward of the town . On _goingto the Spot We oh _^ a great concourse of people , consisting , should "' * pose , of no less than 1 , 000 . The well , Wh ; ch j _* P * 601 feet deep , is in the centre of a small aroa to th _" i ofthe dwelling-house , and close upon a _stonawalw _^ ing the boundary or enclosure of the propor ts- _w ' heard that both of the men were alive , though ci wedged into the well by parts of the rubbish _thewn _i' _* work at the top ofthe well _having fallen d 0 * n t h hadbeen occasioned by part of the boxing having J , way . M'Leish was said to be uppermost , His bodv _^ quite free excepting his feet and ancles , which weri . tangled among the beams of wood ; and Brown Wi closed a small way down from him , and was forced * ' a stooping posture , though quite uninjured . Ilun _^ j « f the people in the town were then engaged iu cutti large trench into the gardin leading to the well f J about mid-day , when these operations were suspend _i information was sent to the Procurator Fiscal , who '

      mediately proceeded to the spot . The stonework at _tlw side of the well , and the staircase leading from the rn _h to the area , were taken down , bo as to remove iho n sure from the top of the well . The people continued * " work in the trench all day , and in the evening bv th * light of the torches , when it was proposed to , y _, > another pit about six feet distance from the wen tn as to get out Brown , the lowest down , "When it was proposed , at the outset , to M'Leish to take him out he magnanimously replied that , were the b ( . _anJ cut through which entangled his feet , the rubbish and wood would be sure to fall and suffocate Brown , an ! _i he would , therefore , remain in that position , although ifc was for a day , until they had digged down and taken out Brown . Brown . " was rather downcast during this day and his comrade M'Leish did what he could to encourage and support him . Upwards of fifty of our townsmen generously volunteered their services to work during the night . On the following day ( Thursday ) the meu con .

      tinned to dig in the pit by turns . A small gas pipe was inserted through tha rubbish to Brown , and soup and stimulating liquors were conveyed down to him tlirough the pipe . A small _hand-saw was also conveyed down this small aperture , and be cut through a beam of wood which was lying across his breast , and thus got himself relieved . Throughout Thursday Brown ' s spirits continued to rally , while those of M'Leish , from the pain of his injuries , fell somewhat . Brown , in his turn , encouraged him . Through _, out this day the sheriff and our burgh authorities re . mained upon the spot , stimulating the men in their humane exertions _; and to do them justice , they _realty wrought nobly . It was _fondlyanticipated throughout the day that the men would be extricated from their perilous situations by the afternoon . Afternoon came , and still

      they 'had to penetrate further down , until they got a 8 low down as Brown . By ten o ' clock at night the workmen reached the necessary depth , but they now became apprehensive of danger from the _boxing giving way and the rubbish falling down ; and fears were also expressed for the dwelling house giving 1 way . since its foundation was somewhat endangered by the process of digging . At this time we cannot fail t 0 notice the noble-minded and gallant conduct of our towns _, man , Mr . Alexander Grant , coal merchant . He had con . tinued to work night and day since th _& accident occurred , and now , when every person was shrinking back from venturing further than they had done , he boldly volun . teered to go down and peril his life to relieve the wen , provided any of his fellow workmen would work with

      _hkn by tons ' . but all shrunk back from the bold and pe . rilous enterprise . By this time the Rev , Messrs . dug . ston , Stephenson , and Low , Sheriff Roberson , our burgh authorities , and many hundreds of our townsmen , had thronged around the spot , all intensely anxious regarding the issue of the operations . A consultation was held b y the sheriff , ministers , and workmen , when it was re _ solved to suspend operations—to send expresses to bun . dee and Glamiss , for Messrs . Eddy and Blaekadder , engineers . During the night the men were engaged ia supporting the lower part of the building . By four o'clock , Mr . Leslie arrived from Dundee , Mr . Blaekadder was from home . Mr . Leslie , on surveying the spot , ap . _pearedto have his _fearsregarding the success of their opera .

      tions . He immediately gave orders to send to Arbroath with all expedition for iron screws to pierce the parti _, tion between the well and the pit . The principal difficulty lay in the nature ofthe soil . Had it been ofa clay con . sistency and not of sand , it would have been far safer , and more easily cut through . We understand that Mr , Leslie was also apprehensive of the building giving way , and gave orders to get strong trees to support it . Meantime , our community was in an awful ferment , work _ij almost suspended , and all are waiting with breathless suspense for the issue . We may mention that Brown and M'Leish have wives and families dependent upon them , and none can tell the piercing anguish which these women are subjected to . God grant that the issue maj be as we fondly anticipate . —Arbroath Guide .

      MURDER OF SIR LAWRENCE JONES , BART . The Impartial , of Smyrna , of the 28 th ult ., con « tains the following account of the murder of Sir-Lawrence Jones , Bart ., by a party of brigands : — " On the Gth , at two o ' clock in the afternoon , two English gentlemen , viz ., Sir Lawrence Jones , Bart ., and Cap . tain Twopenny , left Maori for Smyrna ; they were accora . panied by a Greek dragoman of the name of Nicoli , and also threo conductors . On the night of the same day thoy all slept at Karghi , and the next day , at twelve o ' clock , they found themselves at tha foot o _£ ttie _moun . tain called Khasails-Bel , where they stopped to breakfast ; during this repast one of the conductors observed to the dragoman that two or three Zhybeeks were at a distance

      in front , but as he in a short time lost sight of them tho voyagers were undisturbed and their route was continued _. But they had not proceeded more than six minutes on their journey , when they were suddenly assailed by a warm fire of musketry from behind one of the rocks of the mountain . Sir Lawrence Jones fell dead as well as the Greek Nicoli by this fatal discharge ; Captain Two . penny was also grievously wounded . The robbers , with . out the least fear of being recognised , approached aad began to take possession of everything which they could lay their hands upon . Captain Twopenny miraculously escaped from being dispatched . One of the brigands had already pointed his pistol to the chest of the wounded captain , when a fellow brigand turned the aim of tha pistol , and it went off in a different direction . Having remained for about an hour and a half upon tke stage of the field of murder , the robbers departed . Captain Two .

      penny , aided by his conductor , with difficulty remounted his horse , Itwas not until after atwelve hours [ ride that the suffering gentleman arrived at Maori , weltering in his blood , which _Jwas running from his numerous V _* unds . He had done everything in his power to take _fe . _a _. Wxn the remains of his departed and unfortunate mend , but could not succeed . He was satisfied with cutting off a lock of his hair , and taking a ring off his finger ( which had escaped the rapacity of the robbers ) , as a sort of souvenir to his afflicted family . On his arrival at Maori , his first care was to look after the body oi his companion , which was brought to Maori on the Sth , as well as that of Nicoli ; both of them were buried , in the Greek chapel , with all the ceremonies and rites of that faith . This affecting news has produced the most melancholy sensation amongst the English residents st Smyrna . "
