_Tite master of the Mary Anne , of Glasgow , coratouaicatcs tbe following to tho editor of a Glasgow
paper : — . Sir , —I hare jast reached this port on a voyage _frem Malta and Lisbon , and my _attention having been called to a report relative ro an _anisal seen by tbe master and crew of H . M .

Immediately upon its bang seen , one of the deck guns was brought to bear npon it , wh ! ch bavin ; been charged with spike sails and whatever other pieces of iron could he got at the moment , was diecharged at the animal , tben distant only aboat forty yards from the ship ; it immediately reared its head in the air , and plunged violently with his body , showing evidently that th charge had taken effect _. The Daphne was to leeward at the time , bat wore about on the starboard tack and stood towards the brute , which was seen foaming an * lashing the water at fearful rate .

_FlSHSBMg . v _Bnow . _ViD . —On Saturday last , es two men were proceeding to bring their fish ashore in a small boat , from a fishing smack called the' Teazar , ' which lay in the roadstead at Scarborough , the people on theipier considering it unsafe for ( hem to attempt entering the harbour , waved them off , and gave every possible indication for them to return ; it was not , however , until it waa too late , and unnecessary danger had been run , that the warnings were attended to . On turning the boat round , it was struck with * heavy sea , instantly Bark , and both the poor fellows were drowned .
Attempt ao Mother a Young Woman . — _-Siewcasus , Oct . _50 . —A man named John Dunn was brought before the magistrates , charged with having cut the throat of a young woman named Ann Moffett , with whom he had been keeping company . From the evidence , it appeared that the prisoner had been lodging in a house whioh overlooked that in which the female resided ; the _oons _* _ejier , ce was that an intimaoy sprung up between them , and the prisoner frequently _visited the female at her father a house . On Snnday night last he called upon her aad accused her of having been out with another rean . This Bhe denied when he flaw into a violent passion ; his sweetheart , on perceiving the state he
was in , went out , and returned about half-past nine . The prisoner , who bad concealed _bimBtlf on the stairs , on hearing her approach , emerged from his _hiding-plaee with a razor in his hand . lie attempted to cut her throat , but she laid hold of the blade of the weapon , and in drawing it through her hand , nearly severed one of her fingers . He afterwards threw her down , knelt _ n her Btomach , and , having held her head back , he inflicted a dreadful gash in the tbroat ; he then made hia escape , leaving the poor girl weltering in her blood . Medioal aid was soon obtained , but the poor creature is not expected to live many hours . The prisoner was remanded for a week to see whether the girl will
reco-• fer or no t . Bank Forgeries . —At the Peterborough sessions held on Saturday last , Mr S . Aveling , late of Elm , recently committed on several charges of extensive forgeries on the banking-house of Messrs Gurney , Peckover , and Co ., was brought up for trial , and convicted on three distinct indictments—the fi'at , for uttering a forged cheque for the sum of £ 283 ; the second , for forging another cheque to a large amount upon the firm of Simpson and Co , at Peterborough ; and another of a similar charaoter . The prisoner was sentenced to two years' imprisonment on the second and third charges , and ten years' transportation on the first . < ... .. Affray with _Poachehs . — On Sunday night last , a gang of about twelve poachers , were assembled in a field of H . P . Sherbrooke _' s , Esq ., at Oxtcn , near
Nottingham , on a predatory expedition , when they were encountered by lour gamekeepers , one of whose dogs tbey killed . From motives either of revenge or self-defence , one of the keepers fired , and wounded a man of the name of VTeodbouse , of _Nottingham . The keepers were convinced they had' marked the man , bat failed to find him till the next morning , when he was accidentally discovered lying under a hedge , and suffering from a very severe wound . The whole of the front of his right thigh was perfectly riddled with _ahot , some of which went below the knee and above the upper part of the wounded member ; ahd so widely did the charge Bpresd , that it cmeed one slight wound above the eye even , and another on the thigh . He was _coavejed to tbe General _Hoipttal , and now lies there in a very precarious
condition . Alleged Case cf Mi-bosk of a Husband bt Poison . —For some days past an extraordinary degree of excitement has prevailed in Old Weston , a village situate a few miles from this town , arising from rumours which have been industriously circulated , relative to the death cf Mr James Smith , a wealthy farmer , resident in the neighbourhood . Mr Smith , it appears , died in the month of June , 1847 , after an illness of only a few hours' duration , having np to the time of his illness been a man of robust health , and of Btrictly temperate habits . His illness was ss violent as it waa Budden . lie was _seistd with violent retching and purging , and , from the beginning ofthe attack , Buffered the most frightful agony . Twelve months passed over , and Mrs Smith formed a matrimonial connexion with a gentleman named Par-sens , shortly after which Bhe discharged her servant , who Smith
was in her employment at the time of Mr ' s death , and wbo . had been for nitny years before connected with the family . From this servant tbo _serious charges against . Mrs Smith ( or Parsons ) nave arisen . She states that Mr Smith was taken suddenly ill , having previously exhibited no symptoms of indisposition , and that Mb wife administered to him a mixture which produced ( he consequences already described , acd wbich speedily resulted in his de ° . th . Mr Beedham , the coroner , on having the statement brought under his consideration , ordered the exhumation of the body , and committed it to Messrs Peck and Fernie , surgeons , of _Kircbiltos , and Mr Foster , of Huntingdon , for the purpose o _! a post mortem examination . The result of their investigation was a determination on . the part of tbe coroner to send the contents of the stomach to Professor Alfred Swain Taylor , M . D ., of _Guj ' _s Hospital , London , for a complete analvsation .
Dabiso Burolaby . — -Mrs Sculthorpe ( mother of the Rev , C . Sculthorpe , vicar of Beoley , Worcestershire ) resides in a lonely bouse a short distance from Beoley Hall . Besides Mrs Soulthorpe there are a man and a n * 8 id servant resident at the hou * e . On Wednesday week thieves entered the premises through the bedroom window , to which tbey gained access by means of a ladder . —Having entered Mrs Sculthorpe _' s bedroom they covered hex bead with tho bed-clothes , and threatened to stab her if she made any alarm . The maid-servant was treated in the same manner ,
one of the wretches standing sentry over each , while one or two others proceeded to ransack the _draweis and other places in search of booty . Two watches and many other artides are missing , as also between £ 30 and £ 49 in money , a portion of whioh consisted of six £ 5 notes ofthe Stourbridge and Kidderminster Bank . Having obtained all tbat they considered it safe to take a * ay they _sffected their retreat , without having disturbed the man , who slept in a different part of the house . The police are actively engaged investigating the affair , but at present no , clue to detection has been met with . ' ' ' ¦
Awpdl DB « iT * nio-j . --We ( Preston Gdabdiah ) received a few days ago a communication detailing tbe deplorable condition of the operative population in _Oakenahaw , in consequence of the stoppage of tha print works of Messrs Furt , Brothers , and Co . The following revolting circumstances occurred on the 4 th instant . A calf belonging to Mr John _Walm-Bley , farmer , was found dead , and a bdtoher was en gaged to remove the _skii ia order that the _cartHss might be _buried Before he could do this , however , about forty men and women gathered round bim , seised the dead _ar-imal , acd tore it in pieces , which , though actually putrid , they hurriedly cooked and devoured . The effluvium was absolutely stifling . From inquiries Bince made we have ascertained that
the hands out of employment at O & _kenshaw are little short of 1 , 000 in number . These have been reoently paid off in large batches at different times , and the works will be entirely _closad , it ia expected , in a week or ten days . Many of the hands out of employment have had no regular work for three years , and a few others bave had work on the East _. Lanca shire Railway , but that being finished they , are also destitute . The distress is extreme , and will now be aggravated by the almost complete exhaustion of tha sufferers' credit with the shopkeepers , there being now no reasonable hope of the debtors ever beta ; able to pay . Thb _Haxshsad _Burgxakb . —At the Essex quarter sessions , on Friday week , G . Porter and J . Bragg
were indicted for breaking into the house of Mr Tack , a farmer near Halgted . They were found gnilty on this indictment . The next charge was _against John Porter , for breaking into the storehouses of Mrs . Lee , a wholesale dealer , at Halstead , and stealing therefrom fourteen pounds of tobacco , fifty pounds of butter , and large quantities of soap , candles , currants , and other articles ; and James Jackson , a respectable looking man , carrying en the business of a grocer in the town , waB indicted for receiving the plunder . The principal witness against the prisoners was a man named Bryant , the leader of the gang , who had been sentenced to transportation for another offenci and was brought in convict dress to give evidence . He stated tbat the robbery was suggested to them by Jackson , who offered to receive the plunder and dispose of it in his shop . They broke the storehouse open , got in , and lighted a candle , and selected the articles they wanted ; they then carried them to
Jackson ' s , who weighed the different articles , and paid tbem next da ; about one quarter of their value . In cross-examination , Bryant admitted that he bad been the chief of the gang : that he began housebreaking when he was only eleven years old , and that he bad been concerned in at least thirty burglaries io the neighbourhood of Halstead , although he was only twenty-three years old . He had been three times convicted , and waa onoe before sentenced to transportation , but then escaped with a few years * imprisonment . In many of these burglaries Porter was concerned with him , and they were in the habit of taking the goods stolen to Jackson ' s . A number of othtr _witneBEes were called to confirm Bryant ' s evidence and tho prismas were found guilty . As Bragg appeared to have been only just initiated into tie gam * the court only awarded him twelve months' hard la hour ; but Porter was sentenced to fifteen , and Jackson lo ten years transportation .
A Reason fob AcquniAL . —At the County _Sessions , Chelmsford , last week , Emma Page , Mary Page , Maria knight , W . _Suirey , and D CavelJ . labourers , were oharged with breaking into tbe house of J . Page , at Little Danmow , and stealing an iron boiler , a coverlid , and a piece of carpet . DuiinE the trial the prisoners Knight and Mary Page tainted away , and it being impossible for them to attend te the evidence adduced , against them , the chairman suggested tbat the indictment against them should b _<* withdrawn , and they were acquitted . The other pri _soners were all found guilty , and a former _conviotion towg been pwed against _Cayell _, he and Surrey
Flshsbmg.V Bnow.Vid. —On Saturday Last, ...
were sentenced to six _montbs' -hard lttbour , fourteen days in solitude ; and Page to three months' hard labour . _ExTHAORDirfARr _BoHGiiARir ai Maidstoke . — On Thursday night week , one of the moat singular and daring robberies we ever heard of was committed in Maidstone . Mr Filmer _, proprietor of the Temperance coffee-honse , W eek Sweet , after having retired to rest at a late hour , was awoke from a sound sleep by finding a man ' s hand placed forcibly over his mouth , and another ever his eyes , pressing his head down on the pillow , while at the same inBtant some one got on him as he lay in bed , and held him down . A handkerchief waa then passed round hia head and tied _tigh'ty over his mouth , gagging and almost
suffocating him his bands were tied together with a stout twine , and a cord was passed across his body , from one side of the bed to tbe other , completely tying him down . All this time the poor fellow was so completely prostrated , by surprise , fright , and the violence used towards hira , as to be totally incapable of the least resistance . Being pinioned and gagged iu the manner described , one of hia assailintp , Baid to the other , in a feigned voice , ' Djn ' t hurt him I know he ' s got some money here . ' His eyes were tben released , and he saw two men leave the room , one of whom had under his arm his cash-box , whioh on retiring to rest he placed on the floor , near tbe bed . One uf the fellows bad on a velveteen coat , with his face covered with crape ; the other wore a
fustian jacket , and had his faoe blacked . It was moonlight , and they were distinctly visible . They were afterwards heard in the front room , adjoining the bedroom , where thtey broke open a cupboard and took away some clothes and a timepiece , and also downstairs , where they emptied two children ' s money j boxes of their contents , about twelve shillings , and 1 carried off an old silver watch with a broken hand , j which hung on the mantel piece . The cash-box un- ; fortunately contained upwards of £ 60 , being a sum j prepared to meet a payment of grocery , which waa due on quarter day , and to raise which Mr Filmer !¦ had been making the greatest exertions for some months previously . Unfortunately no clue has been found to discover the thieves , though strong suspicions exist .
Extraordinary Escape . —On Saturday _evening Mr Turner , a farmer , who had bepn riding ont on business , bad occasion to alight at Twerton , and in the meantime , gave his _horso into the care of a lad , till his return ; The boy took a fanoy to mount the animal , and he had no sooner done so thsn ; from feeling a stranger on bia back , or some other cause , it Btarted off at full speed towards Bath , and on reaching the O ' . _d-bridge it stumbled on its knees . The young rider had till then managed to keep his seat , baton the horse falling he lost it , and one of his feet remained in the stump . The horse regained his footing in a moment , and went on dragging the boy bead downwards for some distance upSouthgatestreet , where it was stopped by a person passing . To the surprise of all who saw the occurrence the lad was discovered to be unhurt ,, with the exception of fright and a few bruises .
_Pbeservatiox of one of the Passengers of the Ocean Monarch—Mr W . Jackson , pawnbroker of Sheffield , who was supposed to he one of the drowned in tbe wreck of tbe above unfortunate vessel , was saved , ard is now in Boston , United States . Mr Jackson had with him on board the Ocean Monarch his wife and _thrae children , all of whom unhappily perished ; We are enabled , by the kindness of his friends , to give an extract from his letter , containing his account of the melancholy event . He says—I was on the deck close to the captain when the steward ran up the cabin stairs , and said tbe sbip was . on fire . Tou may guess what my feelings were at that moment , I raa down into my berth and fetched my family npon deck . It burst out _ia ' o a flame direotly , and
tbere appeared nothing but death , either by fire or water , staring as iu the face . I took _obarge of Willy snd Richard , and my wife took charge of Elisabeth , We determined to keep altogether , and did to for a considerable time ; but tbere wbb so much confusion , tbat we found it to be _ImposBiblo to do * o . We kept matin ? our way to the fore part cf tbe * htp out of tbe way of tbe fire ; and as there were two other ships in sight , ween _, terfained tome hopeB of being saved . The heat became so intense that we ' were obliged to go over iho bow ofthe ship and hang by the rope * and drains , but I . bad not been tbere long _befere the rope tbat sustained me and the two children gave way , Bnd we were all going to tbe bottom together . My wife entreated me to save myself , if I oould not save tbe children , so I nas obliged to let go
both of tte dear Iambi at one-moment in order to try and save myself for the sake of those that were -till left with the hope of Icing saved . I then got bold of another rope and htmg by it , I only eaw my wife ana * Elfobeth once after tbis ; they were then upon what is called tbe jib-boom , Tbey appeared in a very safe position , and I felt almost certain that they wonld be saved ; but I found by tho New York papers to my very great grief , tbat my hope was groundless * * * I was taken out of the burning wreck about three hoars snd a faplf after tho fire broke out , by a merchant ship , called the Sea _Qieen , bound for New York . They threw me and an Irleb girl a rope , and pulled us through the water Into their boa * , but tbe sea was rnoning so high
at that time tbat they could not put ne into the _Brazilian steamer . They had saved the li _* - > g of twenty-two other persens . They put them on the steamer , but the sea was io rough that they wero obliged to take us forward to Nt > w York , I bad taken my money and put It into one of the boxes , so tbat in one day I was bereft of my family , and reduced from comfort to poverty . For three days after I got on tbe Sea Queen I c _iuld not hold » p my head ; and but for the kindness of a family from L * eds , ot tbe name of _Netherwood , I certainly mast have died . Mr Jackson , after thiB , describes his very rough passage in the Sea Queen , of thirty-five days , and mentions the charity ofthe captain and passengers in very warm terms . —Sheffield Times .
The New Forest Timber Robberies . —At the Southampton quarter sessions , on Friday week , the several persons charged with stealing timber from the New Forest surrendered to take their trials . Tbete were a large number of magistrates and the Bishop of Winchester present on the bench . Several pleaded guilty . —John Light was charged with steal ing , at BuBkets , five beech trees and other timber , the property of her Majesty . The prisoner , who is a timber merchant with a good business , was found Not Guilty .
_Neoleot op Vaccination . _—Darinu the last three months more than sixty cases of confla-nt smallpox hive proved fatal at _Sutton-in-Ashfield and the neighbourhood . Vaccination had been neglected in eaoh of theBe fatal cases , while hundreds who had been vaccinated had the disease in a mild form , and recovered . Tbe shameful neglect of parents , in not having their ohildren _vacoinated , is an evil symptom , and exhibits i > very low moral condition of the people . — Sheffield Times . Earthquake . —On Friday morning , about seven o ' clock , a slight shook of an earthquake was observed at Dover . It was fe _' t in various parts of the town and as far as the seoond turnpike on the London road ; A young lady _deicribjs the sensation to have been such as might have been produced _hai the bed on which she was lying taken a ' siidden leap ahd then been somewhat violently shaken ' .
_M'Manos . —In Liverpool and Manchester , _last week , £ 500 was collected for the defence of Mr M'Manus at Clonmel , by his friends , and which sum the prisoner received . _Escapb oi ?

Accident on _thbEabtbun Counties Railway . — Monday evening , oo the arrival of the half-past six o ' clock train at the Shoreditch terminus of this railway , Riohard Ellis , a man employed ia the telegraphio department of the line , incautiously attempted to step from one of the carriages on to the platform while tha train was in motion , in doing whioh his foot slipped , and he fell under the wheels ,
He was instantly killed . Accident oh thb _Emsburgh and Nobthbkk Railway . —On Friday week a serious accident happened to the seven a . m . train ofthe Edinburgh aud Northern Railway , a short distance south of the Bridge ef Earn . The train was proceeding at the usual rate of speed , when the _flange of one of the wheels of the engine broke , whioh was immediately perceived by < tbe engineman , who at once , with great presence of mind , turned i ff the power , The engine , however , was almost instantly thrown off the line over a low embankment , and the connecting chain ofthe tender having snapped at the same time , it struck the engine with great force , and turned oyer nnnn the line . The engineer and stoker leaped off ,
and remained unhurt . The goods manager , Mr _M'G'aiban , and another otBcia ? , were not sb _fortuuate , the former having been thrown upon his head , and the latter having fallen upon the line . Mr _M'Glashan received a severe contusion on the left temple . The other gentleman was but slightly hurt , arid was enabled to proceea to hia home . Four par _,-Bengers—a labouring man and three iemaleB—sustained injuries , though not of a dangerous kind , caused by the leakage of the boiler . The accident was entirely owin g to the tire of the wheel having given way , and no blame attaches to the servants of thecompany . . .

named _Hopkinsoo . Had also frequently seen her with fl person named Gee . She lived with _Hopkin-oo as his wife . He had also seen her with a man named Barnaby in a field at ten _e- ' clock at night . The magistrates retired , and after being absent about a quarter of a hour , the chairman said that they had given the cam a very impartial consideration , and decided that Lord Frederick Beauclerk was the father ofthe child , and therefore adjudged him to pay 2 s 6 i per week for its maintenance , with the costs that had been incurred . Notice of appeal to the quarter sessions against the conviction was immediately given . ¦ _Jjioidb by a . _Laby at _PoRT'MnuTn . — -On _Tuesday _morning , about halt-past six o ' olock , the family ol Henry Deacon , ; E-q ., banker of Portsmouth , was

It is ta d that for some time past her attentions had been fixed upon a gentleman , from whom Bhe met with no responsive ieoling , and a settled melancholy seized her in , consequence .

Early in the morning , however , she carried a young child of Mr Deacon ' s to the nurse _, and after taking an affectionate farewell ; to returned her own apartment ,-where , by the aid of a carving

_Dkbtbuction ct in Emigrant Sbip wits be & Pas . _stttotss —We bave _sein a letter from the master o ! a vessel at Quebec to bis father In this town , which contains tome very Interesting particulars . Tbe writer _BBys , ' Oa the morning ofthe 2 Jrd September , saw a vessel to loeward , apparently in distress , with the loss of bowsprit , which proved to bo tbe Hampton , of Grangemouth , Spoke her ; be wished me lo run down to a vessel to leeward which ran Into him on the previous night ; tbis _vsssel proved to be the Ann , tf Limerick , fall of passengers , and abandoned by the captain and crew , ( whioh went on board of the Hampton before they parted ) also lost her masts . I took them all . ff , with the assistance of tho brig Hibernia , of Workington , _Coatear _, master , whioh brought about twenty . five out of one hundred and
four ; her'boats being very small for the sea tbat was running . If it had not been for the assistance of tbe brig some of the mea mild have been left behind , _havieg brought all the women and children first , for it was blowing loo hard to make another trip with the boats , the men snd beat _biing in gMat danger , especially alongside ofthe Ann ; _thebolta all sticking oat of her side—mists and yards all tewing overboard . It took all day to take them off , having to work to _wlndrvard to tow tho boat , and not being able to Btay . Tbe _psB-engera saved nothing , only what tbe , hid on their backs , not being able to return with tbe boat after they wire all off . It was a good job that a ship happened to plok them up with plenty of provisions and water on board ; although tbey all came on board wet through , cold and
hungry , _Ifawtrd them aU safe and sound , after having them on board tl . _ven days . The last boat that oame brought three infante , which were too small to be pulled np wiih a rope ' s end , se I ordered them to be hoisted up in the boat ; but , owing to the quantity of water in tbe boat , one ofthe falls troke , so down went the boat , children , and all ; I fished them all up again in a backet , and five minutes after they were able to eat gruel ( I _tbiak they must have been born swimmlnf , for they managed tbat part like Utile ducks in the water ) . The captain of tbe brig Hibernian , Coatear , deserves great praise for the risk he ran with his men and boats in saving them . The last time that his beat oame , . fjfeer being under the lee of the Princess'Royal , was a long time bofore Bhe could venture alongside , and 1 expected to see her fill every moment . —Liverpool Courier .
