_EiEAtAEAUH OF LOSDOTS DCRVSG THE . WEEK . —The ibibenber of deaths registered last week in London ) _- » anbants to 1 , 037 ; while in the ten corresponding _k-ks * ks ofthe years lS 41-50 . it varied from 960 in 3 , 3 , t « 3 , to 1 . 401 in 1318 , and the average was 1 , 149 . ls is ais average , if it bo augmented in the ratio of viviotvtous increase of population ( 1 , 55 per cent , per inmmum ) up to the present time , becomes 1 , 253 , com * _e-ed -ed with which the present return exhibits a _; a _: at : at decrease ; but it will be borne in mind that U _> len'lent epidemics , which multiplied the deaths of _s ]! pet period from which the average is drawn , bave o o leo left a less population to yield a smaller
contrititiontiou of mortality . If the two returns of the 11 lot fortnight be compared , it appears that whilst j _> y _sy almost coincide as regards the total number d _deadeaths , they differ in the proportions in which bi _evaevailiiig diseases bave proved fatal . The symotic is is 3 ts 3 of disease nambered _lTJ deaths in tho _preceajatj - _«¦ reek ( ending January 11 , ) but in the last * t _* t j _ _* t 7 tthcy rose to 190 ; wbe _* c _* s "diseases of the SSpilSpiratOrvor _ _ans , " under which were previously n lumumcrated 275 , have now declined to 202 , though wi will he seen that the numbers from phthisis _-liiu-liick is not included in the latter class ) haverea ainained almost precisely the same , or about 120 . In ine je prerwas week forty-seven children died from ( coicoiivulsions : " last week the number rose to
! _, ! , n ) , more than half of these being infants less than ii irearee months old . Small-pox was fatal last week 112121 persons , of whom 5 were adults . With regard > > 3 » 3 of the children who died , and 2 men aged _resj _jctBctively 19 and 39 years , it is mentioned that they a id id been previously vaccinated . Tbe registrar of t [ Mild end Old Town Lower , was informed by the t _tthtther of a family , that two of his children had e eeieen sufferin ; from small-pox ; that one aged 3 » L » nars , who had been vaccinated atthe ageof 3 months , 5 _[( _prpparently with eft " - ct died , and another , who had _t ot ot been vaccinated , was in the way of recovery . A i _onouse ia _Wjiitech-ipel is also mentioned where three I hilhildren were suficring from the disease , who bad ! 1111 been vaccinated . Tbis disorder seems to be rife
i n tn tbis _neighbourhood , and © no ofthe medical men _tattates that he has sow 29 cases under bis care . The : _leiegistrar of _Chriatehurcb , Marylebone , reports , , hahat" between the beginning of November , when nra-mall pox suddenly became prevalent in this disxicrict , and the eud of the year , 27 _pt-rsons died of th ' this disease , and in only two of these cases had _vacnmnation been _perforined . " But in order to settle ththe respective rates of mortality among the protetested and _unprotected , it is obviously necessary to _•^ ascertain the number in each class living in any _didisti-iet . In the returns of last week seven localities _ataxe complained of as damp from want ef drainage , oror lowness of situation , or otherwise unwholesome ; inin two of these _scarlatina had been fatal to the
childrcren who dwelt in them ; in three others pneumonia hiiad bem tbe cause of death ; in one a child died frfrom " cholera infantum . " A case of chorea , in a gigirlofl 4 , who had been ill two years , terminated fafetaUy on tho 9 th . A man and two women died frfrom intempemnc _** . The births of S 15 boys and 7 SS _4 girls , in all 1 , 599 children , were registered in the vrweek . The average of six corresponding weeks in _laSio 50 , was 1 , 395 . At the Royal Observatory , GGreenwich , the mean reading of the barometer was 229-550 . The mean reading ofthe thermometer was __ 5 deg ., wbici is 8 degrees above the average of the 8 same ~ week in 10 years . The excess of the daily xraean temperature above the average was , on Sundday , 11 * 3 deg ., on Monday , 9 D deg ., on Tuesday , 7
. deg ., on Wednesday , 8 5 deg ., oa Thursday , 6 _' 9
labourers were _precipitated to tbe ground , amid the "bricks , stonework , and scaffolding . The consequence was that several ofthe workpeople were seriously injured—more especially the following persons , *> ho were removed with all possible expedition to St George ' s Hospital : —A bricklayer named William Howies , forty-two years of age , residing at 2 , Queenstreet , Marlbfirough road , received a serious scalp wound ; Michael Connell , aged twenty-seven , a labourer , of 9 , Pantechnicm-place , _Uew-road , Chelsea , was similarly injured ; and William T _^ _ole , aged thirty-one , a labourer , of 11 , Upper James-street , Sloaae-square , Chelsea , had several ribs fractured . The other fortunately received no injury of importance . The sufferers were promptly attended to by . Mr . Cutler , one ofthe principal surgeons of the institution , but the poor fellow , whose ribs are fractured , is notespected to recover .
Two Mss found _Drowseo is the River . — On Saturday last inquests were held at the Torbay public house , Roiherhithe , on the bodies of two men found dead in the river . The first that of a young man supposed to be an apprentice to one of the colliers , and wbich had been in tbe water about three -weeks ; The other on the body of a seaman found off the platform on Friday , and supposed to belong to a trig which bad gone to sea . There being no person to identify the bodies , the jury returned a verdict in each case of' . ' Found drowned . "

Cook , of Marygold-street , Bermondsey . "On Saturday night week she left her master's house to proceed home , but instead of doing so called at the house of a female named Sophia Tozer , whom she accompanied , with other females , to several public houses , where she partook of spirits , ultimately becoming quite intoxicated , iu which state
sbe was seen by several persons at a late hoar on the same night . On the way home the deceased said she would not go the road way ; they all accordingly . made for tbe _Bermondsey-wall , and when they neared Salisbury street the other females lost the deceased , whom tbey went in search of , bat after a long time they were unable to find her , or learn any tidings concerning her . The parents went to the police-station , and although every exertion was made to discover her whereabouts , nothing could lie heard of her until Monday , when a waterman , named Trimbell , discovered the deceased lying in the mud off Fountain-stairs , Bermondsey . Tbe deceased had no shoes on her feet , but after beinsr
conveyed on shore , was removed to her father ' s house , where her body was washed and searched , but no marks of injury were to be seen upon her person , although it was fully believed that the unfortunate girl had been subjected to some violence . A vast aumberof witnesses were examined at considerable length , and two females , respectively named Sophia Tozer and Julia , Cwoni , positively swore they suddenly , missed tbe deceased on their way home ia Sahsbnry-street . Verdict , " That the deceased was found drownedintheriver , without marks of violence on the person ; hut how she came into the water , or ny what mean _, she met her death , they had no evidence to show . **

sioned by a blow indicted on his skull by his wife , aged eighteen , who was on Friday last examined at Soutliwark police-court on a charge of manslaughter , and remanded . The evidence chiefly rested on the testimony of Ann Charman , a woman occasionally employed by the deceased to clean thehouse . — Mr . Carter informed the jury that the body had not been opened in the manner that he expected . The head only had been opened , but other parts ought to be examined to show the real cause of death . He therefore adjourned the court until Friday next , to give the medical man an opportunity of making a further examination of the body . SnicinE . —On Wednesday Mr . Carter stated , at an inquest held by him at Camberwcll , that he had
just held an _mouiry on tbo body of a young woman who destroyed herself by jumping from Waterloobridge . The name of the young woman was Sophia Julia Offley , about twenty years of age , who , it was said , had been very respectably brought up , and had recently been ont at service . About four months ago her master and mistress left- town , and she had her authority io draw upon oneofthe clerks for her w . igesand any expenses which she might be at for the household . Stic overdrew to the amount of a few shillings , and this lead to extraordinary excitement , and ultimately to her death . She went to berbrother-in-Jaw _' s _. whois a tutor , in St . Ann ' s-
court , Holborn , and declared sbe would not go back to her mistress , but declined to state the reason ; she was , however , prevailed on to return ; but again left , and was found living in Red Lion-square . Her brother-in-law took her to his home . She had written to him to say sbe had done wrong , and was determined to destroy herself . On Monday week she went out in great excitement , her brother calling on her to come back , but she would not , and the same night her bonnet was found on Waterloobridge , and her body near it in tbe river on Friday la 3 t . The jury returned a verdict "that the deceased destroyed herself while in a state of temporary insanity . "
_ExvRKonnisAB . Cosdcct of a Soiwbb . —On Monday night , Isaac Cummins , one of the second battalion of the Grenadier Guards , was out from tbe barracks in Portman-street , and got into tbe company of some women in Orchard street , when ho became excessively inebriated . From some cause which cannot be clearly ascertained , he suddenly threw up the window ofthe second floor and leaped out . He was much hurt on the head , and was lying in a pool of blood when found by tho police , and in an insensible state . He was taken to the Westminster Hospital and seen by the surgeon , who did what was necessary , and he was then conveyed to the Military Hospital , in Rochester-row , where be remains , bnt not , it is believed , in a da , _tlgerous state . Fihe at Stoke _ITewisoton . —On Sunday the
neighbourhood of High-street , _Stoke-Xewington , was thrown into confusion , in consequence of the sudden outbreak of one of the * most disastrous fires that bas happened in that district for a considerable time past , The outbreak was first perceived by the constable who , in passing , appears to bave noticed an unusual glare of light in the premises belonging to Mr . Todman , a chandler , iu business at _" o . 7 , in the High-street . Whilst the constablo was knocking at the door flames in huge sheets shot forth from the various windows , both at tbe rear and in the front , and the fire soon communicated to the premises numbered 6 and 5 in the same street , occupied by Mr . G . Parrott , a linendraper . When the firemen from London
arrived , the names had made tremendous progress , for besides enveloping the premises' numbered 7 6 and 5 , in tbe High-street , they were likewise feeding upon ISos . _ and S . Tho latter was in the tenure of Mrs . Underwood , a dress maker , and the former belonging to tbe same party as the two houses numbered 5 and 0 . The police and inhabitants succeeded in removing a quantity of property from Mr . Parrott's premises , which waa safely housed in the buildings Qpp 03 tt 0 , hut the draught given to the flames by opening tho doors fanned them into every room in a very brief period . By keepiDgto their work , tbe firemen by halfpast eleven o ' clock , four hours after the commencement of the fire , succeeded in extinguishing tbe
conflagration , hut not until the following damage was done , which is officially reported by Mr . Superintendent Braidwood : —Kb . 7 , High-street , Mr . George Todman , chandler and general dealer—Premises burned down , and stock in trade , with furniture , wearing apparel , and other effects , consumed ; cause of fire not known . Kos . 5 and 6 , High-street : Mr . George - Parrott , linendraper—Premises all hut destroyed ; the stock in trade and furniture severely injured by fire , water , and hasty removal . Insured for cohtents in tbe Phoenix Fire-office . Whether the building was insure i or not is not known . Ko . 4 , High-street ;
Mr . George Parrott , ditto ditto—The side walls severely burned . The first and second floors much injured by fire , water , and cutting away . The contents are also damaged by fire , water , and hasty removal . Stock in trade and furniture insured in the Phoenix Office . Ko . 8 , High-street : Mrs . Underwood , dressmaker—Side waifs , flooring , and roof damaged by fire and water , and contents by hasty removal . Insurance not known at present . There is no doubt entertained tbat tbe fire bad been _tmouldering all the afternoon , for the landlord of the tavern opposite had experienced a smell as if arising from burning wood for some hours before the policeman discovered the flames .
Fire at Messrs . Pcrssei _/ s _, _CoHXHixt . —On Sunday evening , about six o ' clock , a fire broke out in tbe large range of premi . es belonging to Messrs . Purssell , the biscuit bakers and _confectioners , in Corohill , City . The premises are fitted up with saloons and various apartments for refreshments , — the kitchen alone being sufficiently capacious for fifty hands to work , whilst the coffee-room was large enough to accommodate nearly 100 persons . The flames commenced in the back part of the shop , on the ground , and when discovered bad obtained a firm hold of the premises . Fortunately
the fire commenced at tbat early hour ; for , had it been in the night time , it is impossible to tell what might have been the results , as not fewer than thirty men slept in the buildings . The fire was eventually extinguished , but not until considerable damage was done to the premises , _andmlso their contents . Several large plates of glass _ltere demolished , even as far as the top of the house , and one of the firemen had a narrow escape by one of the heavy sheets of glass falling , and nearly striking the man . Fortunately the firm was insured m tho Atlas , Sun , and _National Mercantile fire ofiice .
Great Fire in LmtEBBiTAis— On Wednesday morning a fire , wbich consumed a vast amount of pr » _« - D 0 _^ _CUrred 0 D the _spaciouspremises belonging to Mr . Robert Whitaker , playing card and pasteboard manufacturer , situate in Little Britain , City . The property was five floors in height , including tbe basement , the front forming two of the large houses in the public thoroughfare , whilst the manufactory was abuildmg nearly as capacious . William Simmonds , who slept in the second floor of tbe front premises , had his attention suddenly attracted by a loud noise , as if occasioned from the snapping of burning wood _, tie immediately proceeded to one of the back windows , when he saw that the ground floor and first story of the factory were in flames . In lew than fi v *
minutes after the alarm two of the Royal Society ' s fire escapes attended , but fortunately the inmates had succeeded in previously making their escape . The engines were remarkably early in arriving , but before sufficient time had elapsed toset them fairly to work , the flames had communicated with every floor in the factory _. and they were rushing forth from the twentysix windows m . front , completely extending across the open yard , and rolling into tbe back windows of the front houses numbered 13 and 14 , in Little Britain . Atthe same time hundreds- of sheets of card board and paper , m a state Of combustion , were blown through llurtpp of the premises , where the roof gave way , and . were carried a long distance over tbe surrounding houses , threatening devestation to the
enure _neigutwurhood . The firemen now saw that nor the least chance remained of savine anv porhonof the factory , they therefore directed their exertions towards cutting off thefurther extension of ThaTvf f „ _^ f ? nt _rehouse and dwellings . Tbe work , of destruction , however , continued , and very speedily the two top floors of No . U were in a th _™ _ttii ! ' _^ _ efir . _*«* also penetrated _S _. _n th _r-v " nia o U 1 , n _S _^ _whxdows of that bouse , ' and also of No 13 , so that every room at the back was on fire .. The energies of the firemen now became concentrated to one point , and , under the _nirfu _°° lf ' the , Mnm of the l ° _*' < k * establishment , the men worked most admirably by niountimr the _Btaircasea aud scattering immense streams _nf
w _« er , „ w every room on fire , so as to prevent the flames from reaching the other portions of the pro perty . Eventuallythebrigadesu _^ ded in _arresthTg the further extension of the flames ; but manf hours elapsed before they eould he extinguished Even as late as five o ' clock in tbe evening i a great body of fire remained a midst the ruins and the firemen were obliged to keep pouring torrents of water upon the same to prevent it from breaking out again . The total loss by this disastrous event must , at a moderate calculation , reach some thousand pounds , for the whole of the manufacturing premises are completely _destroyed , the upper portion of one of the front warehouses is burned out , the whole of the back rooms ° f the two front houses are partially destroyed , and the valuable stock in trade seriously injured _SiJSi - ? ° rtunate , _y the principal part of tho vaiuawe designs , which have taken some wars to

when iir / Pontifex , the ele ' rk to the board , stated that he had taken all the necessary precautionary steps to prevent the issuing of the wiit without notice of the intended application being given to him , by entering a caveat at the Judges-chambers , and also at Ihe Crown-office , and giving the defendant ' s attornies notice of the faet , but up to the prdsenttiniehe had received'no notice of the application . Mr . Clarkson , who appeared for Mr . Sloane throughout the examination , and at the Central Criminal Court , it has been ascertained , bas not received instructions-to apply for the writ , which caii only be done , during term , by counsel , aud at Westminster , a judge at chambers having no power during term to direct the writ to issue . .. , _. _,,,..
Information has reached Mr . Roe , tbe officer , who holds the warrant against Mrs . ' Sloane , that she is res'dm- at Boulogne , under a- feigned name ; and , in consequence , he has had several interviews with members of the Board of Guardians and Mr . _Pontifex as to the propriety of applying to the government to aid , through the French authorities , her apprehension in the event of her being found there ; but , as his going over to Boulogne would bo attended with considerable expense , he ( Roe ) objects to do so unless indemnified by tbe guardians . It appears , however , that there is strong disinclination on the part of the guardians to act , under the impression that the poor-law auditors would disallow the amount .
The Late Sewer Accident in Islington . —The late fatal accident in the Lower-road , Islington , has been followed by a strong expression of sympathy on tbe part of the inhabitants , in behalf of the widows and large families of the two uutortuuate men who fell victims to the inundation of the Now River into the sewer . Subscriptions are being raised for tbe widow of G . Ellis , one of the men , who is left with a family of six children totally unprovided for , and the widow of W . Bone , left with four children . .. ..
Suspected MuRnER . —On Wednesday information was received by the police that the body of a respectable dressed man had been picked up in tho Thames , near Woolwich . The deceased must have been about thirty years of age , and of dark complexion . The skull and _righlleg are fractured , and marks of ill-usage are visible on _otherTparts of the body , on whicb nothing of value or to lead to identification of the body was found . It is strongly suspected that the unfortunate man was robbed and then murdered .
Robber * of £ 220 . —Information was received at the Guildhall , on Saturday last ; - of tho robbery of 220 sovereigns from a young man named Wynn , in the service of Messrs . Smith and Co ., Paternosterrow . It appears that he was of a delicate constitution , and that in the afternoon of the previous Thursday as he was passing through Fountain-court , lie was taken ill in a fit . A crowd of persons gathered round him , and he was attended by Mr . Butler , a medical gentleman . On his recovery he found that he had lost a canvas bag' containing 220 sovereigns . _Information waa communicated to the police , and a sum of £ 100 offered for the recovery of the money . " , ¦ ' . The Trial of Mr . Sloane . —It is stated that the proceedings against Mr . Sloane will be removed by certiorari from the Old Bailey to the Queen ' s Bench . Mrs . Sloane is not yet apprehended , hut there is reason to believe that she will be in custody before the trial comes on .

Cflarob Of.Embkzzlembnt.—On Saturday Mor...
CflAROB of . Embkzzlembnt . —On Saturday morning last , Mr . George Uilwood Plant , late secretary to the Liverpool Mutual Loan Society , was brought before Mr . _Rushton _. at Liverpool , ona charge of embezzlement . The above * society was established in 1844 , and Mr . Plant appointed secretary , at a salary of _"CiO per annum . He continued to hold this situation till November last , when he voluntarily _re signed it . On the 25 lh of January , 1849 , a . loan
of £ 100 was granted by the society to Mr . James Fiaher of Scotland-road . Mr . Fisher paid certain weekly instalments amounting to _< £ C 9 17 s . 10 d , leaving a balance due to the society of £ 32 2 d . on the 24 th of September . Mr . Fisher then ceased his payments till the following March , when he paid Mr . Plant £ 18 , and received a receipt for it ; but tbat sum had not been entered in the books , nor in any way accounted for by Mr . Plant . These facts having been detailed * -by several witnesses , it was stated there were other charges against the prisoner , and he was remanded until Saturday .
The Explosion at Blackboy Collier * . —The inquest on the bodies was held on the 17 th inst ., in the school room , Black Boy , before Wm . Trotter , Esq ., coroner . Several witnesses were examined , the _sabstance of whose evidence was that au unexpected accumulation of gas had taken place in the part of the pit where tho men were at work , and that the ventilation and general arrangements in the colliery were of a superior description . The jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death . "
Suspected Poisoning . —On Monday an inquiry was commenced before the borough coroner of Liverpool , arising out ofthe following circumstances : On tbe previous Friday a gentleman called upon the coroner , and stated that a relative of his , a Mr . John Walker , a broker and commission agent , of this town , residing in lodgings with a person named Lunt , at 65 , Jerrard-street , had died , in his opinion , under very suspicious circumstances . From the statement then made ' inquiries were immediately set on foot , when it was ascertained that the deceased ) four or five days before his death , which occurred on the 7 th inst ., was observed by a friend in a very drunken state some distance from his lodgings ,
This individual immediately procured a cab , in which he placed deceased and accompanied him home . In doing so he observed that he had in his possession a bag containing money , which he ascertained amounted to £ 52 . During the night the deceased was taken very ill , and the persons he was lodging with sent for a surgeon , who treated the de * ceased for delirhm tremens , and on calling the next day found bim getting better . The surgeon was then informed that he need not call any more , as they could get a dispensary doctor gratuitously On this day the relative above mentioned , Mr . James Smith , of Ashley-street , accidentally culled upon the deceased , and found him apparently
suffering from the effects of drink . In a day or two after this gentleman again called to ask after the health of his relative , when he was informed that he was dead , and found that preparations were making for the funeral . His suspicions : were then aroused , and on making inquiry from a female , who lodged in the same house , and was with the deceased up to the time of his death , he ascertained that the coffin had been ordered before death had taken place . The account given respecting the deceased ' s money was also very unsatisfactory , his landlady first saying she found £ 10 , then £ 8 , and various other amounts- The coroner on learning these particulars on Saturday , issued his warrant for the exhumation of the body . The proceedings however were sd
journed to afford time for effecting a medical examination of the remains . On Monday a jury attended at the coroner ' s ofiice , and after being dul sworn , they proceeded to the Necropolis to view the body , which was lying in the reserved burying place , atthe north end of the burialground . On opening the coffin the deceased was identified by Smith . The body had suffered but little from the process of decomposition , and'the features remained almost perfect . Mr . Whittle , the surgeon , made a pos t mortem examination , and took the stomach and intestines for the purpose of analytation , in which he will be assisted by Dr . Brett . The inquest was then adjourned to Monday next , when the result of the analysis will be given , and the whole of the circumstances investigated .

Darino Burglary . —On the 17 th inst ., ( says the St > mford Mercury ) , a burglary was committed at the lone house of Mr . Watts , in the parish of Orton , near Peterborough . After he and his wife had retired to rest , they were disturbed by hearing persons outside their house attempting to break in . Mr . W . _eot up , went down stairs , and demanded their business * he was told that , if he did not immediately open ths door , they would force it open and shoot him . He returned up stairs to procure a light , and instantly the door was burst open . Three men wearing masks then rushed into the house ; one of them had a gun in . his hand , and the other two were armed with heavy nieces of iron . A ruffian seized Watts ,
and another p laced the gun to his head , declared with imprecations that unless he gave up all his property , they would blow nut his brains . They then proceeded to ransack the house , and stole two silver drinking cups , twenty-one teaspoons , nine table spoons , a .. air of sugar bowls and caddie spoon , three table cloths , a flitch of bacon , six bottles nf wine , three bottles of gin , two bottles of rum , £ 13 10 s . 6 d . in gold and silver , a half guinea , an American threepenny piece , and a brace of horse pistols . During the time they were engaged in breaking open the boxes , Mrs . Watts secreted her pocket , containing the money , between the mattress and her bed . The villains , not being able to find any cash , made the old lady get up , and
swore that if they did not succeed in finding somo money , they would , as they knew there was some , murder the parties and set fire to the house . On Mrs . W . ' s _t'etting up they pulled off all the ' clothes and found the hidden treasure . They knocked the bung out of a small barrel of home made wine , and then turned it upside down ; they did the same also to a barrel of beer , and the cohtents of both vessels were destroyed .. The robbers are supposed to be practised hands , for on looking over the plate they found two German silver spoons , which they . would not tafte away . They left the house after a considerable interval , and On the following morning the old man ( Watts ) gave information to the Peterborough
and Other police Officers . A reward of ten guineas is offered for the discovery of the offenders , and several suspicious characters have been apprehended . Extraordinary Escape . —On Saturday evening last , a railway labourer named Jesse Pont , who had been at work at Rye , was returning along the line on his way to Fairlight . He had just passed under the viaduct , or brick bridge , at the Landgate , Rye , when he heard the train coming on behind hira . In order to avoid being run over , he stepped on to the next line , which unfortunately _piored to be tbat on which the train was actually running . He was immediately knocked down by the foremost truck , and the wboletrain passed over him . A person passing by
at the time , ran up , with horror depicted in his countenance , _fomjjjji . ( as he supposed ) at the mangled remains , wheri _^ n ? was most agreeably surprised to see Mr . Navvy get on his feet , and go and sit in a temporary shed on the side of the line , at the Ropewalk , for a few minutes , where he wiped the blood from a slight fracture on the right side of bis head , and removed tbe " grit" from his left eye , and after rubbing his left shoulder a little , declared his intention of proceeding on his _jeurney . He stated that he fell lengthways between the rails , and thus escaped with tho slight wound above related , * he had worked as a labourer for the last sixteen years , and thi 8 was the first accident he had met with .
Horrible Brutality . —During the night of Saturday last , some villain so seriously injured four cows and a pig , belonging to Mr . Cutler , a farmer , of _Dasnall , by chopping their , fore legs ( apparently with a bill ) , that it was found necessary to have them killed . From the fact of Mr . Cutler having that day discharged one of his farm-labourers , named Norman , suspicion . fell upon him , and he was arrested . . The prisoner was then locked up for the night in the Ivinghoecage ; but , on the following morning , it wai found that he had escaped therefrom , having picked the locks with a . bale of a bucket which had been locked up witb him . He is still at large . Serious Case of Alleged Manslaughter at
Bristol . —A most painful occurrence has taken place at Bristol' in consequence of the death of a Swiss gentleman named John Frederick Bippert , who was engaged as a commercial interpreter and deputy shipbroker , and whose death is alleged to have resulted from the effects of violence inflicted on bim hy Mr . Philip Douglas Alexander , a young man connected with one of the most ' eminent mercantile firms of Bristol , and whose connexions likewise are ' shipbrokers . . The coroner , Mr . J . B . Grindon , commenced an _inquestofl Saturday last , at the _Llandogertrow Tavern , King-street . The coroner having explained to the jury the Mature of the case , an adjournment took place for the purpose of enabling the
medical gentleman to make a post mortem examination of the body . It appeared that on the 4 th of December a French brig , called the Adolphe , arrived in the port , when-the deceased , Mr . Bi p pert , having been _requested'by the consignee to look out for her , went on board of her in _King's-road , to get her papers , for the purpose of handing them over to a ship-broker named Holmes' for whom he occasionally acted , to pa _< s the vessel through the Custom-house . The brig had been brought up to' the Cumberland Basin , and was moored , when Mr . Alexander came on board to endeavour . to get her . papers . Mr . Bippert said . i
•• "ou are too late . " Upon which ( according to the deceased man ' s deposition ) Mr . Alexander rushed at and gave him a blow on the head , which knocked him from the poop-deck to tbe main deck , his side falling _asainst the steps and his head against the water-cask , He also felt something snap in his inside , which was ultimately foiind to be a rupture , the subsequent irreducible strangulation of which caused his death . It is stated on the cart of the accused that Mr . Bippert ' _s version of the affair is a very incorrect one , and the real character of the conflict will of course form the main point . of inquiry . --
Discovert of Stolen Property at Leeds . —On Tuesday , at the Leeds Court House , George Hirst , the landlord of the Angel Inn beer-house , Marketstreet , was brought up . before the sitting magistrates for further examination . It will he remembered that a large quantity of property , supposed to have been ' stolen , was / ound in his house , and he was remanded in order to give time for its identification _, jit the previous hearing on Tuesday last , _ —r J _»»« w ,
Mr . Wm . James , superintendent of the police force , produced a piece of woollen cloth in the balk or unfinished state , which , he said , he had found in the prisoner ' s house ori Sunday last , under the following circumstances : —Having received information , which induced him to make a second search , he proceeded to tho house on Sunday morning . In * ihe cellar ho found a number of barrels , all of them having taps in , but as one of them sounded oddly , he turned it up , and found , instead of contn _' wina

Robert Hirst , woollen merchant , of Park-lane , and was stolen out of a cart on the Oth of January , while being conveyed to the finishers . A watch found in tlie prisoner ' s house on the first search has been identified by Mr . Talbot , clothier , of Batley , he haying been robbed of it about two months ago , when'in Leeds , Several other articles were . also identified , ' Including some umbrellas , stolen from shops , in . _" Briggate and Commercial-street .

Mr . S , Bramo , the registrar , deposed that when the mother of tho deceased attended to register the child he found her in a state of great mental depression , from poverty . The jury , after deliberating about half an hour , returned the verdict— " Wilful murder , " against the mother , ' but expressed their regret that thoy could not qualify their verdict by adding their opinion of the poor
woman ' s insanity . ' A Case os _Rksikottos o _? _Prosem _** : , lost upwards of seventeen years ago , occurred recently at _Gorleston , to a blacksmith named Head , living near the White Horse . A few days since a stranger cilled upon him , and asked him if he remembered losing a bag of money out of his cart near the Southtown turnpike gate , in the month of February , 1831 , and , if so , how much it was ? Read replied he did certainly remember it , and thought it was between £ 9 and £ 10 . The man then inquired if he ( Read ) would forgive " the person who got it for £ 3 ? Bead said he should be glad to forgive him , at that distance of time , if he gave him a _sovereign . On which the stranger placed before him
£ 5 10 s ,, and shaking hands with him , left the house , but refused to tell him his name . Important Seaman ' s Case . —On Tuesday , six men were brought up in custody , before Mr . Rushton , by police-officer Tuck , on a charge of refusing to proceed to sea in the ship after signing articles . Thomas Ridley said he was master ofthe Crusader , and the whole of the men had sailed with him in the ship on a voyage to Buenos Ayres . They had been at sea five days , and returned to port , when they refused to go the voyage . One of the men said , on tho charge being preferred , that they would be obliged if tho mate and the steward were sent for , as they would state that the captain had not been sober since the ship left the river . When the
witnesses came , they were sworn , and Mr . _Rushton addressed the mate , and said : — " These six men are brought here for refusing to go to sea in the ship , alleging as a reason that tho captain had not been sober since he left the river . Is that truel " The mate , who seemed to answer unwillingly , said ho could not say that he had been altogether in his proper senses during tho voyage . — The steward said the same . He had often given him spirits' in his coffc , and he was not capable of managing the ship on a lee shore . —The captain said he had never been in such a state . He had had a pilot on hoard for three days out ofthe five . He had not tasted spirits of any description . — -The steward said , " I saw him fill a tumbler when he was notable to hold
t to the cask . "—Mr . Rushton : What of ?—The steward : Rum , sir . —Mr . Rushton said it was a very serious matter . It was bis duty to take care that the men were not imprisoned improperly . The sailor had a right to guard against a drunken captain . Here was the mate , an unwilling witness , who was put on oath , and who said the captain was not fit for duty ; and the steward deposed that he was not only totally unfit for duty , but he had seen him _drinking spirits by the tumbler , drawn from thec & a „ , Under the _cn'oumBtanoos , and deciding by tho evidence , he thought the men justified iii not proceeding to sea . The owner , who was iu court , said the men had refused to work when the ship was in danger ; and Mr . Rushton replied that if such captains were put on board a vessel all confi « dence was lost . The captain said he had sailed
sixteehyearsoutof Liverpool , and referred to hischaracter during that time ., when the magistrate remarked thatit wasa painful thing to do , as respected the captain ' s but it was due to the men—they must be discharged ! The men were then set at liberty ; but it was understood that the owners would put a new captain in the ship , and that they would proceed on the voyage . A memorial from them to the owners was also read , setting forth the conduct of the captain in the form of a letter , from which it appeared he had perilled the ship , not being able to distinguish the lights , and having to give up the command of the vessel to one of the people , to pilot her inside the Tuskar rocks , when she was in dangerous circumstances , and when , but for this delegation of authority , she would have been lost . — The letter , the magistrate remarked , was extremely creditable to the men .
Cruklty to an Apprentice . — At the Loughborough petty sessions last week , a case was heard , of such a character that the audience several times gave vent to their indignation and contempt . The particulars ofthe case are as follow : —In August , 184 ( 5 , a youth named _Blankley , whose parents lived at Wanlip , was apprenticed lo Collington , tailor , of Seagrave . Soon after he was hound , he and a fellow-apprentice were subject to treatment of a most rigorous and harsh character . Sufficient food waBnot given to them , and at times that which was given was unfit to eat . Once some liver whicb had been cooked several days , and was in a mouldy state , was given them ; and because Blankley ' b fellow-apprentice refused to cat it , ho was kept
without food three days . When at work they were not allowed to speak to each other , and for looking , or smiling at each other , they have both frequently been severely beaten . Neither of them made any complaint to tbeir parents , but on the 13 th of October , 1849 , Blankley , who was then about seventeen years of age , absconded , unknown to his parents , and went to sea . After being a sailor a few months the ship returned to Hull , and Blankloy was discharged ; but then , rather than return to his master , he enlisted as a soldier . He removed with the regiment to Limerick , where he fell sick ; and after lying in the hospital there thre e months , he for the first time _Bince he ran away wroto to his parents informing them of his
situation . Soon after his father purchased his discharge and a week or two ago he returned home . Collington , hearing of his return , took out a summons charging him with absconding ftom his apprenticeship , and the case was brought forward , when the above facts as to the treatment , & c , were sworn to byBlankley ' _s fellow-apprentice . The magistrates recommended an arrangement out of court , when tho bench informed Collington that they were unanimously of opinion thathe was not afit person to have an apprentice ; and their decision was that the indentures be cancelled , and that he ( Coilington ) pay the costs . Attempt to Drown two Pilots . —The Greek brig Panagia _Carussina , was boarded on Tuesday
morning by James Rowland , Bristol pilot , in the basin , whose duty it was to conduct her to the Cardiff Roads ; and when coming out of the lock at Rownham , three of the crew suddenly seized him by the threat and legs , and attempted to throw him overboard , but in which they did not succeed . Rowland , fearing to stay on beard , from the menacing aspect of tbe fellows , hailed the tug-boat and got on board her , and bo escaped ; but when opposite this place David Morse , a Cardiff pilot , went alongside , and was about to ascend by a ladder which hung over the side . When the crew , witb the captain , saw that another pilot was _attemDtim * to
_oparp , tneydrowupthe ladder , leaving apiece of spar ( which had served as a fender in the bason ) and to which Morse held on , thinking that he could gam access to the vessel , but he was not allowed to do so , as the fender was Jet out with the sole intention of turning the man off , the brig then going five knots . Just at this moment , and while Morse was struggling in the water , the ladder , which continued drawn , up , was again , it is concluded accidentally _, letdown , and of which Morse laid hold , when ono ol the crew descended and trod on his fingers * bnt notwithstanding , Morse held on , and two Pill boats , whioh put off _toi render him assistance , succeeded in saving him , hut for which be must have been drowned . v
