      ACCinBNTS , 0 _FFRNCES , ETC . Frightful _ano _Fatat . _Accipentto a Postimon in _Oxforu-sibket , —An accident of a most frightful clnv racter attended with fatal consequences , occurred to a postilion named John Mitchell , aged thirty-one , lately Hvingin Margaret-street , Cavendish-square , who was proceeding along Oxford-street with a couple of horses , when the one on which he was seated shied at something in tho road , and in endeavouring to keep the other one near him he was dislodged and pitched on to his head , the animal trampling on him , whilst the loose horse darted off at a flying pace , and ran

      over a lad named King , who had his arm _brilcon . The unfortunate man , Mitchell , was pic ked up in a perfectly insensible state , and taken at once to Gharingcross Hospital , where MrSteghall , the resident medical officer , ascertained that he had received a broken leg and a fearful wound on the forehead , besides a fracture of the skull , and other extensive injuries , so that , in faet , bis case was hopeless from his admission , and death terminated his sufferings at two o ' clock on Sunday morning . The lad , King , was conveyed into a neighbouring surgeon ' s , aud from thence to his home .

      Sciciob from Losses on thb Dergt . —The domestic peace of a respectable family has been disturbed by ' a painful event arising out of the last Epsom races . Mr Frederick Cruso , landlord of the Crown and Sceptre , Great Titchfield-street , Marylebone ; poisoned himself with prussic accid . He had latterly attended much more to _sporting matters , races in particular , than to his business , and from his irregularity of living it was _susposed that his mind was disordered . Not long ago , after some heavy losses on the turf , he found his affairs in an embarrassed condition , and , in a manner that indicated he had a wish to die ,

      desired his wife to get some charcoal , that they might , children and all , suffocate themselveB . He _was-a loser to a considerable amount on the last Derby , and was to have settled his bets on Tuesday evening , but it is supposed he was unable to meet them . On Monday _morning he left home in a cheerful _stato , and _returning at eleven o ' clock , went to his bedroom . Not long afterwards his wife entered the room and found him _lyihs on the floor insensible . Mr Webb ; a surgeon , opposite , was called in immediately , and found that he had taken a large quantity of prussic aoid . The unfortunate man died in ten minutes . After his death a razor was found in his pocket .

      Child Murdeb . —Information has been received by the police , that a female infant , new born , and . evidently destroyed , had beftn found tied up in nil old silk handkerchief , in a ditch in _Battersea-fielda . The body of a male infant , about two months old , that had also been destroyed , was found wrapped in a flannel petticoat , and placed in a ditch at _Pcnny-Bundle-fielcU , Deptford . Fatal Accioent . —On Sunday last , about i o ' clock , a small boat containing four persons were apset in the Thames , off the Isle of Dogs , from two females who occupied the stern sheets , in alarm , at the swell caused by several steamers passing , suddenly rising . The accident was fortunately observed from -the shore , and several boats put off , who succeeded in rescuing three of the party ; but the fourth , Emma Brodie , an embroidress , residing at 95 . Kinj-street , Leicester-square , was drowned , and the body could not be recovered . . i

      INQUESTS . Supposed _Isfajjticide . —Before Mr Bedford , at the York Hotel , Wellington-street , on the _bitdy of an infant , supposed to have been murdered by a man in custody _^ and _Anti e Cleveland . Mr WilliamLawson , surgeon , said that , about three weeks ago ,-he received a letter signed " Harry Ilartwell , " requesting bim to call on the mother of the deceased child , and saying that , if he ( witness ) eouid take a hint and work it out well , it would be £ 5 in his pocket ; witness not liking the style ofthe letter , destroyed it , and did not call in Wellington-street . Bat . in consequence of a second letter , dated from Portlandchambers , Great Titchfield-street , he called on Mrs Cleveland on Sunday the 9 th instant , when she asked him if he thought the child was dead , which , from symptoms which she described , he assured her was

      not the case . He called on Mr- Ilartwell , whom he found h 8 bad known some years since , and he asked him if he did not think the child would be still-born , and on the witness answering in the negative , Hartwell asked "if he could not manage that it should be still-born . " This question witness affected not to understand , and Hartwell said , " _, Oh , you are very squeamish they manage these things better in France . I have seen two or three cases of the kind in that country . " Witness declined having anything to do with the case . —Mr _Alosely , vestry clerk of St Paul ' s , Covent-garden , stated that it had been ascertained that the person in custody was not Mr _rHartwell . —Mr Guthrie , who made a post mortem examination of the body ; stated death to have been caused by suffocation . After a repetition of some ofthe evidence adduced at the examination at Bow-street the inquest was adjourned .

      Death in the Pbswestiarv . —At the Penitentiary Prison , Millbank , on the body of William Ma 3 on , aged twenty . Captain Groves , " the governor , stated that the deceased was convicted , on the 8 th of March , at Chelmsford Assizes , of setting fire to seme corn-ricks , and sentenced to ten years' transportation . He was received on the 29 th of March , from Springfield Prison , and died ontle 18 th of the present month . The deceased had complained of illtreatment while at Springfield . Young , the infirmary warder , deposed that the deceased was very ill when admitted , and was taken at once to the infirmary . He was so feeble that he could hardly walk along with his irons . They were immediately taken off . He said the doctor and warder bad behaved ill to him at Springfield Prison . DrBaly then said

      he had no doubt the deceased died from pulmonary consumption . He had wine , beer , brandy , and every sort of nourishing food that he required . When he first saw him he did not think that ho was in a fit state to be removed , but he eould not tell how he was when he left Springfield . ' . One of the jury considered that the Governor of the Springfield House of Correction had done wrong to put him in irons . Captain Groves said his opinion was that the deceased had not been in a fit stato to be removed . The jury were under the impression that the death had been accelerated by his being sent away in such a _dreadfuHstate , and the inquiry was adjourned to have evidence from Springfield Prison as to what was his real condition when removed from thence to the penetentiary .

      Suicide from Disease . —Before Mr Bedford , at the Three Jolly Gardeners , Rochester-row , Westminster , on the body of Henry Thomas Jenkins , aged 31 , a surgical instrument maker ; of 4 _, Spencer ' s terrace . The deceased enjoyed a perfect state of health until ten days before his death , when he had a tooth extracted in consequence of suffering from the tooth-acbe . He afterwards caught cold in the gum , and inflammation of the gland of the throat supervened , causing such acute suffering that for several days he was light-headed . About twelve o ' clock on Friday morning week he got out of bed ; and , with a pair of scissors , stabbed himself _repeatedlyoverthe region of the heart . He was detected in time before he had inflicted any serious injury , but whilst bis sister had left the room for a moment to call assistance , he succeeded in inflicting a deep wound in his throat with a razor , dividing the windpipe and carotid artery , which caused instantaneous death . Verdict , '' Temporary Insanity . "

      miscellaneous . _HEiLTn of thk METRorous . — The number of deaths registered in the metropolitan districts during the week ending Saturday , May 22 , was , males , 487 ; females , 42 i ; total , 911 . This is three under the average ot the five past springs , there being a large decrease in the class of sporadic diseases ; we regret _, however , to have to announce a large excess in the class of zymatic ( or epidemic and contagious ) diseases , which show an increase of no fewer than thirty cases , or nearly twenty per cent , over the average , typhus being thirty per cent , above the average ; measles also show a large increase . This is doubtless attributable to the high temperature of last week . The number of births registered in the metropolis last week were 1 , 270 , or males , 653 ; females 614

      , , j Fever in the Metropolis ;— Fever , arising from distress , and of a contagious character , is raging in St Giles ' s parish . Although there are only seventy beds in tho infirmary of St Giles ' s workhouse , the monthly applications for admission exceed 100 , according to the return of Mr Bennett , the parish surgeon . Reduction ik the _Pricb of _Bbkao . —On Saturday the bakers throughout the metropolis made a reduction in the price of bread of , one penny on the 41 b . loaf , those denominated cheap bakers selling the loaf at 101 d . ; the League Company charge only lOd .

      _Gs-vebal Fall in Pnovraiosa The price of bread is reduced in several placeB in the metropolis a halfpenny in the 4 ! b . loaf . Many of the under-priced bakers announced . tlie gratifying fact by large pl < tcards , having the words "Glorious news ! down again to 10 _| d" inscribed . The ' general price of seconds bread is from Mid to 11 _Jd , and the . League company . ire selling at lOd the 4 lbIoaf ; inferior can he obtained a penny less , and the best bread sells at Is Id ; Amir has been reduced in proportion . A

      reduction of a penny in the pound has taken place in the prices of butchers ' meat of all descriptions , and in consequence bacon and other cured provisions have been reduced _^ The fine weather has caused a large supply of fish , which is sold remarkably cheap ; small soles can be had from 2 d to 3 d per pair , and mackerel five for a shilling . V _tgetames , particularly greens and cabbages , are very plentiful ; the former , which about a week ago sold at 7 d a bunch , can now be had at 2 d . and early York cabbages at Hi each ; early foreign potatoes sell at 3 d per pound .

      Tora.—Rior —A Disturbance Has Taken Plac...

      Tora . —Rior —A disturbance has taken place at Tovil , arising out of a quarrel between the workmen of the Haylo and Tovil paper mills , which at one time threatened to be serious . Mr Giles , the occupier of Tovil mill , has for sometime refused to employ any unionist , and a bad feeling has consequently existed between his men and those of other mills where unionists are employed . One of the Hayle mill-men , who were out on their _Whiteun holiday on Monday , got on the wall ofthe Tovil mill , and some angry words ensuing between him and the

      workmen belonging to the mill , he was dragged over and much beaten . A party of unionists and others attempted to rescue him , and a regular fight ensued between the two parties . The Maidstone police was sent for , and a party came with the superintendent , under the direction of Mr Case , the justices' clerk . Mr Rayfield , who interfered as peacemaker , was much knocked about . The arrival of tho police , however , put an end to tho fray . Some ofthe Tovil mill-men were so much beaten that Dr Taylor wa 3 sent for to attend them .

The deceased was about 30 years of age , a very stout and healthy man , and of a very peaceable disposition . On the previous evening , about half-past seven o ' clock , he was at the Fox and Hounds , when a quarrel arose between Wm . Holy _, land , butcher , a man well-known at Leicester , where he is in the habit of standing in the market , and two or three other men ; after a scuffle and falling linnn the cronnd . Holyland cot up , and seeing John

      _Bevaos standin g near to him , he charged him with taking part with one of the men he had been quarrelling with , and without any provocation whatever he struck Bevans a very violent blow on his head , at the back of the . ear , which instantly knocked the poor man upon the floor . He was taken up and died in less than ten minutes . Holyland has been several times apprehended for assaults . He was apprehended shortly after Bevans died , and was conveyed to the County police-station at Leicester , the sameevening . The Jury returned a verdict of " Manslaughter against Holyland ; " and Mr Gregory , the coroner , issued a warrant for his committal , to take his trial at the Midsummer Assises * -

      the discovery of two prussic acid bottles empty _. _' and a wine-glass on the table . All attempts to restore the deceased were useless . The cause generally assigned for the committal , of the act is , that the circumstances ofthe deceased were greatly embarrassed . He has left a wife and six children . On Monday an inquest was held . Verdict— "That the deceased died from the effects of hydrocyanic acid , administered by himself ; and that there was not sufficient evidence to show the state of his mind at the time of his committing the act , "

      : , HAMPSHIRE . Rbmabkable Story . —Not many , years since , the family of _the-Dummers . from their great wealth , heldvery influential positions in . several counties , particularly in Hampshire ; Bince which time , from some strange freak of fortune , the lineal descendants have been scattered about , and , generally speaking , drinking deep of the bitter dreg 3 of poverty ; still , not without havingan eye to the vast _domainswhich they consider themselves entitled to , and occasionally making vain attempts to _renain them . Several members of the Dummera reside in Midhurst and its neighbourhood ; and to relate two more recent endeavours to come to their right . is now our object . Mr Fleming , of Stoneham , near Southampton , it would seem , occupies some part of the freehold property , and Mr Chambcrlayne , of Cranbury Park , near Winchester , another part . On Februa ' ry 13 th , Wm . Dummer , sen . Journeyed to the former mace ,

      near whore , at _Swathling , be deliberately , and in the presence of one George . Smith , whom lie took with him , cut down a considerable sized stick of timber , for which he was had up before a bench , of magistrates on the 15 th , at Southampton , who , after deliberation , evidently considered it best to discharge him , on his claiming it as his own ; and on his showing his pretensions to the property ; his object , of course , was thus frustrated , and he returned home , but , determined to try it on a second time , on Thursday , April 8 th , he , with a near relative , went to Cranbury Park , and , arming themselves with spades , cut up several pieces of turf , directly in front of the mansion , and this not only before several of the servants , but , as tbey believe , also before Mrs Charaberlayne herself , without one word being said to them . Again foiled , we suppose they will not suffer much time to elapse ere they make a third essay—with what effect we will not stop to bint at .,

      DKVOSSHIRB . A Raooed School has been set on foot in Plymouth . The room selected for the purpose is capable of holding 120 children , and desks will be fitted up for 190 to commence with . Boys of any age , between five and sixteen years , will be invited to come and receive free instruction in this school . A local paper says : — "Everything of a sectarian character willha carefully avoided . This is as it should be . In so benevolent a work as that of endeavouring to raise the most degraded and the most miserable of our population , we should all be permitted to participate . It is a labour of love and charity that will

      bring its blessing with it ; and we are pleased to know that the appliances necessary for carrying out the good work have been procured from different sources , so as to leave no doubt of the wishes of the founders . It is intended only to try the experiment with a boys'school at present ; but if that should succeed , there is , we are sure , benevolence sufficient to ensure the permanent foundation of a similar school for girls . Nothing is more wanting for the children of both sexes , especially in those parts ofthe towa which are situated near Sutton Pool . There is there a _nviss of ignorance and criminality which is appalling ; and we trust that this experiment will prove beneficial . "

      Berwick. Disibbss And Fever.—Tho Extraor...

      BERWICK . _Disibbss and Fever . —Tho extraordinary price of all kinds of provisions is beginning to tell fearfully on the poorer classes in this town , as well as elsewhere . Fever and other diseases have begun to appear in several of the ' densely-crowded _by-lanes and alleys . The better classes of workmen , such as masons , joiners , and others employed on the railway works , are receiving wage 3 which enable them to bear up against the emergency . Tho price of bread is now lid . per 41 b . loaf , and butcher meat 8 J . and 9 d . per lb . ; prices which prevent large numbers of the population from obtaining , in anything like sufficient quantity , these necessary articles of sustenance . EDINBURGH .

      Alarmino Increase op Fever . —Meetings of the city parochial board have been held , Mr Longmore in the chair . The principal matter which came before them was an application made by Dr Alison , on the part of the medical relief committee , for power to take such steps as they might think proper to prevent the further spread of the prevailing epidemics in various parts of the city , more especially in the Grassmarket and West Port . He stated that there were at present 600 cases of fever in the Infirmary . He recommended that application should be made to the government authorities for the use of tents for the purpose of erecting _lazzarettas similar

      to what _waa used at the time ofthe cholera , and what was now in use in Liverpool . The increase of fever in the city might be attributed to the great increase of fever in Glasgow , by the Irish poor having come from that city and taken up their abode in public lodging-houses , thereby spreading the infection . The recommendation was agreed to ; but the committee were not to incur any heavy expense without first consulting the board . Dr Alison further stated that Mr Deas , one of the medical officers , had informed him ( Dr Alison ) that he had removed no fewer than thirty cases of lever from one close in the Grassmarket .

      Railway Accibent . —A serious accident has oc-j curred at the Scotland-street station of the Edinburgh , tLeith , and Granton railway , by which a number of persons were severely injured . A train I was preparing to leave the North Bridge station at the head of tho tunnel , when the " break" which attaches the truck to the _carriages behind having been insecurely fastened , gave 'way , and the truck proceeded down the incline of the _tunneljwith great velocity till it reached _Sc-ottan ' _d-street , where it came into collision with a train ahout to start for Granton , and shivered a second-clas _' _i carriaee in pieces .

      Fortunately , very few pasao ' _agers had taken their seats in this train , or _ihe _consequences might have been dreadful ; but ono ro » n was so much hurt that he had to bo conveyed home in a carriage , whilst two others were more nr less injured . The " breaksman " was also seriou & V y hurt , by leaping from the truck when it was enter ' _tpg the tunnel , but we are happy to understand that all the parties are likely to recover . The aooid ' int _, we believe , arrBe from the break truok , whioh : , « placed in front of tho down train , being _altered , through the carelessness of the "breaksmP ' n , " to get loose .

Four men have been arrested on suspicion .

      Revolting . Murder . —A dreadful murder has been perpetrated at . Gurtnahassy , near Ballingarry . The deceased , Patrick Walsh , who was about forty-six years of age , was married to a girl named Brophy , aged eighteen years , in the month of March last , and went to reside with his father-in-law , EdwardBrophy . From some cause the parties did not live happy together , and on the night above-mentioned the unfortunate deceased was murdered by his-father-inlaw , and buried in a garden opposite the dwelling _, house ' , from which he was subsequently removed by Richard Renting , another of Brophy ' s sons-in-law , and hers

      ot , and re-interred near the stream about a quarter of a mile distant from the scene of this murder . _^ The stream being recently flooded , the earth which covered the remains of the deceased was washed away , and the body was discovered by two boys on Friday . An inquest was held before Ambrose Going , Esq ., J . P ., and Purefoy Poe , Esq ., J . P ., and the above facts having been deposed to , the jury returned a verdict of wilful murder by strangulation . Keating , and Mary Brophy , wife ofthe person charged as principal in the murder , have been committed to Bridewell ; and the unnatural wife and father-in-law of the deceased have fled to Ameriea .

      Galway _, —Conflict with the Military . —A violent mob attacked the meal carts going out near _Turloughmore _, on Tuesday , 11 th , and plundered several tons of meal ; on the 18 th , again , the mob were most determined , and going into the town , and in presence ofthe military escort , attacked the carts . The principal parties were women and boys , with bags and knives , and they are becoming so dexterous at their trade , it is very difficult to evade them _. The convoy bad a kind of skirmishing fight to sustain

      for upwards of ten miles , in the course of which some parties were apprehended , and others wounded by the escort , but still a considerable quantity was taken . A very much larger force will be indispensable to maintain the communications ; and _particularly now that this new system will require such considerable imports every fortnight , Government must keep the reads open at whatever cost . The country is becoming very much disturbed , several additional regiments must be sent to preserve the peace .

      FAMINE ANB FEVER . The accounts from the provinces are fearful . Fever is rapidly on the increase , and ,, it is to be feared , will continue to iucrease with the advance of

      summer . Kilkenny . —In the union more paupers have died within the last three months than during the preceding five years . _Castlemais . —In this parish thera have been 420 deaths , of these upwards of 300 were causedby famine . In the locality there was a landlord clearance in the month of April , by which 128 individuals were rendered houseless and homeless . Cobk . —In Kilmain the mortality presents an increase of 300 per cent , over that of last year ; and here , too , the disease is to be seen at work every day . Galway . —In Kilcreest there bos been an increase of 1 , 400 per cent . _Akdjerts . —There have been 910 deaths , of which 416 were caused by famine .

      Ominous Sign of the Times . —We have heard of a fact , which speaks more eloquently ofthe wretched and truly deplorable condition of this ill-fated land than all the laboured essays or discourses which could be composed on the sad subject . The Cork Patent Saw Mills , at King-street , the largest establishment ofthe kind , wo believe , in the land , have been at full work , with from sixteen to twenty pairs of saws going at the same time , from morning te night , for the last six or eight months , cutting planks for coffins . The other orders to the same establishment were planks and scantlings for the furniture of berthing in emigrant vessels , and for the erection of fever sheds in all parts of the country .

      _Misoovernmest . —1 he seed corn of government , brought to Kilrush and Tarbert last month , for the immediate use of farmers only , aud supposed to be in the ground this month , is ' now finding its way gradually into the Limerick market , having been , we apprehend , brought up by jobbers , contrary to the express intention of government . The Speculators . —The Galway papers are very indignant that while , as they allege , there is not a fortnight ' s supply in the hands of the merchants or millowncrs , a cargo of flour is about to be shipped thence for London . Keeping up tub Prices . — At Waterford there have arrived between Wednesday and Saturday not less than 3 , 000 tons of farinaceous food , yet prices continue at the famine rate . The arrivals comprise vessels from Ancona , Spain , Trieste , and the United States .

      Kerry . —TRiLEE . —In the course of the last week a lot of prisoners , under an escort , arrived at the county gaol , committed from the Dingle district petty sessions , under summary convictions . The destitution and palpable disease which the appearanco of those men we understand presented were appalling . They could literally have been scarcely approached by the humane governor and his assistants , from the malaria which radiated around them . One of them under the effect of disease and exposure to the inclemency of the weather , barely tottered within the walla of the prison , and almost instantly expired . Tipperary . — Clonmel . —Fever is fearfully progressing , and the contagion is generated and spread from the total want of cleanliness in the wretched habitations in the various lanes , where the rooms are overcrowded by the miserable occupants .

      Slioo . —The public works have been discontinued , and the people are starving . On all sides are famine and pestilence . The streets are infested with breathing skeletons — many of them in a dying state , all of them suffering the sharp pangs of hunger . Some of these creatures are labouring under dysenterymore of them are actually far gone in typhus fever-Dreadful as the statement may appear , it is a faet , that numbers of people are constantly crawling about . this town with burning fever in tbeir bones . The > soup-kitchens are not prepared in any district , and i even if they were , they are but miserable substitutes * Hundreds are dying of absolute starvation . ; Cork . —Bantry _WoRKaowsa .- —Awful _Bisolo- _subbs . —Appalling and most afflicting scenes have re-

      cently occurred at the Bantry _poorhonee . The a guardians exclude strangers , and the press has no o access there . Hence , matters occur ! which ; would d surpass by many degrees those reported by Dr » r Stevens , was there but an opportunity of laying them n before the public It had chanced to transpire , that it _. bodies had lain both inside and without the dead- dV house ofthe poor-house , in large numbers , and for a rai considerable time past , in a condition of nudity and ad I putridity quite appalling . One medical gentleman am conneoted with the establishment had made inquiries iea into the fact , and the result was that , on Tuesday la ?! last , the 18 th inst ., Dr Jagoefelt it his indispensable blei duty to call the attention of the guardians to it . it . ; The Rev .
