" At First They Came By Twos And Threes ...
THE CROPS , ASD THEIR . IIELD , _Tbis question is one whicli aU are deeply interested _fn , Itis now confessed on aU hands that we have ( mt just escaped a threatened famine . Those who _^ _ygie "holding out" that "tliere-was not much to fe ar , " even when we had week after week of * i > oId and soaking rain , now admit that the prospect Bas frightful ; and that the last three weeks of com-• narative fine weather lias alone saved the crops from otter "BR . It was then tlieir cue to "blow hot , " _lo calise the reality was calculated to play " old Harry" on 'Change , where consols and shares went
-np and down with every gleam of sunshine and every day of wet . Awful "long visages" were beginning to show themselves in the " speculating market ;" end therefore the truth-telling press disguised the truth , and cried "peace" when there was every probabiUtyofthatmost terrific and most unappeasable ofall wars—thc war of the belly I Now that the most imminent danger is passed , these same " best _possible public instructors" "blow cold ; " tell us that < we have but just escaped actual famine ; that the _danger was most appalling ; and that " itwas all owing to that barbarous _enactment—tae Com Law !" And thus the people are played with .
The fact is , that we have escaped , and but just escaped , a most awful calamity- Another fortnight of such weather as we had in the beginning of August vould have ruined the -main of the crops . Thb bad weather was not caused by the Corn Law ; nor would a repeal of that law have had any influence in securing us sonny days . From all that can be gathered It would seem that most of foreign nations will have corn little enough for themselves ; and had _oht
ports been as free and open as the most thorough going free-trader could desire , the supply of foreign corn , intheeventof our own harvest failing asthreat ened , would have been inadequate to our wants ; whilst we should have received a most terrible lesson of the advantages derived from " depesdkkce oa foreigners ! " They would have had every inducement to withhold ; and would have withheld , till we paid famine price !"
It is all very well for the free-traders to draw reasons for their crotchet from every source ; and heaven _knows they are not over nice where ihey get them , so Ihat they can cheat the understanding of the gulls they appeal to . Dr . Bowrixg once exclaimed that ** Freetrade was Jesus Chbist— -and Jesus Christ Was free-trade . - " and he would the next moment tare asserted that "free-trade was the _Dfivrir-and ihe Devil was free-trade , " if he had thought that KTiiVh an assertion -wonld have tickled hia hearers more
than the other . But amidst all this "babble of words" about free-trade , and about a " law to secure a short supply of food , " the people wUl at once see ihe dictates of common sense on the matter ; which are , that , Cora-law orno Corn-law , fair trade orfreetrade , it is our duty to raise our own food AT HOME , and _sxoucn of it in ordinary seasons to make up for deficiencies of supply in bad seasons . This we can do by applying capital and labour to the soil , raider such , conditions as give SECURITY OF TENURE ; and until we do this we shall never be eafe , but be at the mercy of those who will be sure to WITHHOLD when we most need their aid . Respecting our present prospects , the Mark-Lane Express of Monday says : —
The weather , though cold and dull , has heen dry during the greaterpartof the week ; and in those districts where the grain was previously ripe , there has been no interruption to catting and carrying ; steady progress has therefore bean , made -with harvest operations in alt the aonthern counties , and a considerable proportion of the corn has been safely deposited in the rick yards . In the more backward parts of the kingdom the want of hot sunshine has been seriously felt : and , unless we have greater warmth , it is doubtful Whether some ofthe late crops wUl ever arrive at maturity . Wherever thrashing has been _onrnmeuced THE _PRODUCE OF "WHEAT IS FOUND TO FALL
_chobt of expectation ; and besides the complaints on this subject , the accounts of the quality are likewise , we are sorry to say , of a lest satisfactory character tlian we were inducedto nope miylit nave proved the case . The weight per bushel , which is generally a good criterion for judging of the quality , is certainly from 2 to 33 b . per bush el less this than last year ; many ofthe samples brought forward at the markets in the agricultural districts have not weighed more than 59 toC 01 bs ., ' and instances of 56 to 581 bs . are by no means rare . In addition to the actual loss from this cause , tfiere _wiBmortyrolKiMy 6 _ea / _urta « r ( Je / leiencji , _insomsegiuncc of the falling off in meal from a given quantity of Wheat ; and . on the whole , it is to he apprehended that THE
YIELD WILL BE DECIDEDLY BELOW THAT OF USUAL AVERAGE TEARS . At present we hare not sufficient data to form an estimate ofthe extent of the _deStincy ; but we are , under all circumstances , inclined to think tiiciH uHtmatelj * be found to be rather important . Even from those counties from whence least has been heard ofthe defect in the ear , the reports have , since harvest has bees proceeded with , become unfavourable . Li Scotland the weather seems to lave been of a siml
lar character to that experienced here , - viz ., tolerably dry , hut cold . In the mostforward districts reaping has been pretty generally commenced , hut farther north mnch corn mil not be fit to cut till quite the end of the month . From Ireland the accounts are stiU on the -whole favourable in respect to the weather and the erops .-New Wheat , Barley , and Oats had been brought ; forward at all the principal markets **• _*** southern portions of the island , mostly of fair quality , and In tolerable condition .
In addition to this , it has to be stated , that the accounts of the disease in potatoes multiply on every land . ? It seems to have extended itself throughout Europe ! The Journal of Commerce would make it appear that on most parts of the Continent the crop is almost an entire failure . It says : — We have already referred to the disastrous results o the potato crops in France and Belgium ; and the following extract of a letter from Amsterdam gives some interesting intelligence on the same subject : —" The calamity with regard to onr potato crop is increasing - and we are sure that only one-third of the usual quantity of an average crop will he fit for consumption . When it was perceived thattheTwinter potatoes were suffering , a good many families laid in a small stock of summer potatoes , which the farmers guaranteed as being sound
and fit to be kept for six or ten months ; but although these potatoes -werein _esccUent condition when delivered , ihey could not be kept for eight or ten days . The summer potatoes will last ns till November and Decemher . The winter potatoes in the fields are in a most deplorable condition . Some hopes were entertained that the potatoes in the Downs , between the Hague and Haarlem , were safe ; but , unfortunately , we had accounts yesterday that they suffer in the same manner , and turn rotten . "We are at a loss to say where to get potatoes from , as the same calamity is spreading in the neighbouring countries —Belgium , Prance , England , and the North of Germany . _JNone have yet been able to discover the actual cause of the sickness . Some say it is a poisonous mildew others think that the potatoes grew too fast in June or Julv . "
In our country , this unaccountable " rot" is found to be very prevalent : so much so , that the agricultural chemists are devising means if possible to counteract the disease ; or where that cannot be done , to save for use the only portion of the "damnableroot , " as Cobbett called it —( andwith the use to which it has been pnt in Ireland , he was more than justified in so designating it)—which Is nutritious , —the starch : and which it seems is not affected . To effect the first object ; to counteract the disease itself , it is recommended that 1 cwt . of chloride of lime mixed with 3 cwt . of salt , should be applied to the affected crop , per acre , either by strewing it around thc plant , and immediately covering it in—or , If the weather be dry , in the shape of liquid , mixing 1 lb . ofthe mixture to every gallon nf water . Tim mndn nf makinff the most of the I
crop , where the disease cannot be stayed , is fully explained in the following letter , by Jir . _HERAPAin , the eminent chemist of Bristol : — Sir , —5 _Ty attention has been given to the disease whicli las shewn itself so extensively amongst tlie growing potatoes . I find , in almost every instance , that the epidermis ofthe stalk below tlie surface of the ground ismore or less in a state of decay , often disintegrated , and completely rotten ; the leaves and branches accord with the state of that part oftlie stalk below the ground . The tuber , hc-neath the outer skin , is first spotted brown { like a bruised apple ) ; these spots cxteud aud penetrate towards
the centre , quite changing the nature of the potatoe . Those near the surface are most injured ; in some cases the lowest on the Toot are not at aU affected , while the upper ones are useless . I should therefore expect that the longer the crop remains in thc land , the greater the Injury will be . lt seems , from the microscopic appearances , that the starch escapes injury for a long time after the skin and cellular parts are gone ; and as the whole ofthe nutritive powers of the potatoe reside in the starch , I . should recommend that wherever the disease las shewn itself to any extent thc crop -should be dug wheiher pipe or not , and the starch extracted by the following simple
process—After washing ihe roots , let them be rasped fine and thrown into a large tub or other vessel ; pour a considerable _qu-uHirv of water , and well agitate andruu the pulp
" At First They Came By Twos And Threes ...
with the hands ; * u thc starch or feculs will , from its great weight , fall to the bottom , while the skin and fibrous matter will be cleared away by the water ; wadi the starch with one or two more waters , allowing it to fall after each washing ; spread it upon cloths in a warm . room to drj—in this way about 20 or 21 lbs . will be obtained from every _lOOlbs . of potatoes , and it contains as much nourishment as the original roots ; it will keep any length of time , and might be used with flour to make bread , pies , puddings , & c ., as well as _farinaceoui spoonmeat . This is much better than throwing away the diseased roots , and win furnish food for tens of thousands who might otherwise want it . "Willia * _-Hbbapath . *

I Hereby Direct That All Monies Payable ...
I hereby direct that all monies payable tome , as treasurer to the Chartist Co-operative Land Fund , must be transmitted as follows : —Either by Bank order or Post-office order , to the "care of Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., 340 Strand , London ; " and payable to me , "W . P . Roberts . " That is , that my signature shall be required to each order . This direction is plain , For instance , say that Edward Hobson , of Ashton , has £ 10 to transmit ; he is to transmit the same to Mr . O'Connor , by Bank letter or Post-office order , made payable to W . P . Boberts . That order I can sign when I go to London , or when a parcel of them are sent to me . The two only things required to secure the triumph of Labour ' s battle are , union among the working classes , and undeviating
honesty and punctuality on the part of those who have the management of their affairs . I therefore adopt this plan , that we may have upon each other as many salutary checks as possible . This is advisable , as much for our own mutual satisfaction , as for the satisfaction of the subscribers . I therefore request that these plain and simple instructions may he punctually attended to in all cases . To save additional postage , each letter containing a money order , may also contain a list of the respective sums , and aU other information necessary for the general secretary , Mr . Wheeler , to have ; which letter l £ r . O'Connor will duly forward to him _. This done , there can be no puzzle about the accounts . W . P . Roberts , Treasurer . All orders should be made payable at 180 , Strand , London . _—TV . P . R .
{ The above mods has been adopted at my suggestion , in consequence of the endless trouble I have had , owing to some parties sending me Post-office orders payable to my order ; and some to Mr . Roberts' order . Obseivance of the above very simple rule will insure uniformity , satisfaction , and protection . There is a difficulty at the branch Post-offices about getting monies , when the orders are- not signed by the persons to whom they are made payable . Feabgus _O'Conkoe . 1

A Constant Reader, Halifax.—Mr. Cooper's...
A Constant Reader , Halifax . —Mr . Cooper ' s "Hebrew Guide" is not yet published . It will be no doubt some daj , when the price will be announced . W . Jennings , Holborn . —We cannot answer his query ; hut think it likely that the answer returned him by the American Consul will be correct . His best way of satisfying himself will be to cause inquiries to be made in America itself . Has he " no friend there he could write to ? . _ A RECiTLAtt SoBSCttinER , STOcapoa * - —The : hest way would be for the party to return , and obtain possession of all the clothing that is her own . As Englishman . —We must decline to publish his
letter . He has not furnished , us with his name , nor afforded us any means of ascertaining that he is privy tothe "authenticity" ofthe documents quoted by a "Polish Democrat" against Major Beniowski . The "Polish Democrat" did not so act . He at once gave his name ; and he moreover referred us to a distinguished foreigner , whose name and patriotism is _Itcown over all the civilized world , to whom the article had been shewn , and who was cognizant of the facts therein set forth , and aTerred their truth . Independent of this , there are speculations started by " An Englishman" in his letter , relative to the propriety of "foreigners" aiding Englishmen in their _sfforts to "bring about a new order of things , " which might lead to much misapprehension , and be productive of mischief . This , therefore , would decide ui not to
publish the letter , even had the writer given his name , We thank "An Englishman" for pointing our attention to the articles in the two publications he names . Henry Helliwell , _Tokhobden , should have had more sense than to bet on a matter of business that did not belong to him : and he should hare had lass impudence than to ask us to make him oat a " balance sheet" In a matter with which he is not in the slightest concerned , according to his own statement ; only that he wants to settle who ought to pay " glasses round . " "We can tell him for his comfort , that he has to pay ; though the matter was not as his antagonist stated . Still he was nearer the truth than Henry _Helliwell . F . Goodhhxow , Stodebbidge . —In the Annual Finance Accounts for the year 1814 , ending Jan . 5 , 1845 , tlie amount of duties paid on glass , with the amount of drawbacks , is set forth as follows : — _ _j- - - ¦ ¦¦ " _" .

The particulars as to " cut glass" and " plain glass " are not set forth . Perhaps he could find these In the " Annual Returns relative to Trade and Navigation . " Jacob Tbustt ' 6 third letter next week . Hugh Hansom , Borough , will see that his letter is unnecessary—Mr . Ratcliffe having replied for himself . "We shall look over his letter again , and if there is any _pohitdiscossed , other thau those contained in Mr , _Katcliffe's communication , the public shall have the benefit ofit . W , S ., Bewast . —We have not yet had time to read his communication . There is little doubt but that it will appear : for we wish the question to be thoroughly . discussed , convinced that it is one of surpassing interest to the members of the Odd Fellows' Iustitution , totally
independenf of the quarrels of the men pitted against each other . It is manifest that the Society contains withinits constitution theseeds of _diseaseanddeathjand until those are rooted out , the Society wiU never know mue iiFi * . It shall not be our fault if the members do not seelfA * way in which they can do this : it will rest witli _thsinselves whether they follow it or not . This we shall do . totaUy irrespective of persons : for in the Order we may say that we know nobody—and will know nobody , only by their acts . If the members wiU only act in the same spirit , and eschew all partisanship , they will soon set themselves right , and make
themselves and their Order a pattern of managsment and system . John Wasd , Baunsley , writes to correct the report of a meeting held in that town a short time ago , and reported in last Saturday ' s Star . It was thero set forth that the meeting was a crowded one ; whereas he says the room was not a quarter full . Wo know not who sent ns that report , but have no doubt the statement was inserted as sent . We wish those who do forward reports of meetings to state facts , only fasts . Let us liav * the truth * . for untruth , howeTer it may deceive at first , will be discovered in the end , and tell wofully against those who use it .
John Wabd , Babnsley . —The resolution come to hy the members of the Land Society is premature ; for the Directors have nofyet classified the members into districts to elect representatives . They havo not even yet got ihe returns to enable them to do this . All in good time . _Hesbt Kitchin , _Pentonvilli ! . —We don't remember the name , but probably did . We remember having received ttco , asking a silly question nbout _* the circulation of the Star , which we did not think it worth _whilo to notice , as almost every number of the Star contains the means for every one to satisfy himself on the point the writer troubled us ou . W _« have not those letters at hand to look at the name : but if they were Mr . Kitchin ' * , he r . ow has liis answer : if they ware not , he must specify more particularly .

Fire On Wai.Woi.Th Common.—On Sunday Nig...
Fire on Wai . woi . th Common . —On Sunday night , shortly after ten o ' clock , a fire broke out in the premises belonging to Mr . Grogan , oil-cloth manufacturer and japanncr , carrying on business in Princesplace , Walworth-common . It originated , from some cause unknown , in about the centre of the manufactory , a building between 50 and 60 feet long , and which was filled with goods , some finished and others partly so . Owing to the very inflammable nature of tke stock , the flames broke through the roof of the building with great fury , and for some time the neighbourhood was illuminated . The light caused a general turn-out of the engines , and those from Southwark-bridge-road , Waterloo-road , andthe West
ot . England stations , with one from _Chandoa-street , arrived at the scene within five minutes of each otlier ; these were followed by others belonging to the Brigade and the County-office . By that time , however , the entire building was on fire from end to end , and strong apprehensions were entertained for the safety of the surrounding habitations . The different neighbour * , from the first alarm , exerted themselves to the utmost in removing everything near the manufactory of a combustible character , and thc water be . ng abundantly supplied , one engine was set to work , and the flames were entirely extinguished before twelve o'clock , not , however , until the building was razed to the ground , and the valuable stock destroyed .
Fatal Accident _ojt mie South Eastern * Railway . —An accident , involving loss of life , happened on Monday morning in the Archcliffe ' funnel on the South Eastern Railway , a sliort distance from the Dover terminus . One of the porters , named John Hill , whose particular duty was to assist in _removing trucks , engines , < fec ., in the vicinity of the terminus , was directed to move an engine down the Jine to the shedding near the Archcliffe Tunnel . The poor fellow promptly proceeded with the order , but on the engine passing through the tunnel he imprudently jumped on the step , and was literally jammed against the wall . On the engine emerging from the tunnel the unfortunate creature was discovered quite dead , having evidently been killed instantaneously .
_l'ATAii Railway Accident . —An accident look place on the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway on Thursday morning about one o ' clock , which was attended with the death of George Macklin , one of the guards . It appears that MacMn < lias been employed on the line for only four months , and in accordance with a custom which provides that all new guards be appointed to the charge of luggage trains as an initiatory step , he had charge of a train of this kind which left Glasgow at eleven o ' clock on Wednesday night . The train reached Linlithgow in safety , where one of the trucks was to be left , and lor the sake of convenience it was the last in the train . It was in connection
with this particular truck that Macklin lost his life , but as no person saw the accident , the particulars of it cannot be given with certainty . From the position , however , in which the body was found , it is supposed to have occurred as follows - —Before the train had been fully stopped hehad swung himself on the buffers ofthe second last truck in order to save himself the trouble of running forward and uncoupling the last one at the proper time ; and while in this situation / he had fallen down on the rail , and immediately the remaining truck passed over his body . The unfortunate man was quite unable to speak , and died in about a quarter of an hour afterwards . — Scotsman .
Accident on the Brighton Railway . —On Monday morning , as the seven o'clock mixed train from Brighton was approaching the Clayton Tunnel slowly , in consequence of the slippery state of the rails from the fog , a pilot engine proceeded to its usual station at Horley , came up with the tram , and struck the last carriage , a third class , whieh was unhooked from tho train . The passengers in that carriage suffered a severe shock , and many of them jumped out ; in so doing , Mr . Neale , of Fleet-street , printer , was cut in the foot , and others sustained some bruises , amongst whom was a lady , of _Clapham . No injury accrued to the engine or carriage . The train was immediately stopped , and the carriage re-attached , and all the p assengers , excepting a lady and gentleman , who , we believe , from alarm and not from injury , returned to Brighton , were brought forward to their respective destinations in safety .
The late Fatal Affkat at _Chakltojt . —On Tuesday afternoon Mr . J . Payne resumedan inquiry in the board-room of St . Thomas's Hospital , respecting the death of John Goodhue , aged forty-five years , late head gurdener to John Saunders , Esq ., of Charlton , Kent . On the night of the 4 th of June Mr . Saunders gave a grand entertainment to a select circle of his friends . The deceased was standing in front of thc mansion giving directions to the various coachmen . "About halt-past ten the carriage belonging to Major Cuppagc arrived to take up the family . The deceased had an altercation with the footman ( William Green ) respecting the carriage being driven
across the lawn , which was contrarjr to the regulations . Ultimately they began fighting , and in the first round the deceased was thrown heavily to the ground , and before he could get up Green kicked him in tbe groin . Thc deceased was taken to the lodge , where he vomited blood , and the following day was taken to the above hospital , where he died on AVednesday , the 27 th ult . The medical testimony fully proved that the deceased liad not died from violence , but from long existing disease ofthe liver and spleen . The deputy coroner went through the whole ofthe evidence , and remarked at great length on the various points of the case , after which the jury returned a verdict that deceased " Died from natural
causes . " Heroic Coxdbct on a Railway . —On Thursday week last one of the most providential escapes , as regards human life , occurred on the railway connected with Bishop Wearmouth ironworks , that has ever been recorded , although accompanied by a most fearful and calamitous accident to the individual who risked his life to prevent the sacrifice of at least two , if not more persons . The ironworks in question extend over a vast extent of country , and , for tbe purpose of a speedy transit from one part to the other , railways have ' been established , one of which is formed on an inclined plane , down which the heavily laden waggons are propelled at . a fearful rate . On the morning oftlie above day , while one ofthe train of waggons ' was passing down , two very old women , eaeh being nearly seventy years of age , labouring under defective si ght as well as hearing got on the
, line . A few seconds more , they must both have been inevitably crushed to death . Their perilous situation was , ' however , witnessed by Mi * . JJavui _Holsgrove , the overlooker of the works , who m an instant dashed toward and seized the two females , whom he threw off the line , and out of the way ot danger . Unfortunately the engine at tins moment came ' up , which knocked Mr . Holsgrove down , and he was picked up as dead . He was instantly conveyed to one of the buildings in the ricimty , and medical aid was sent for , when , upon examination , it was discovered that he had sustained several contusions about the head , that both his arms were broken in two places , and also one oi . bis legs , besides other injuries about the body . It » supposed that some part of the train must have gone over ins UmOs . Although so severely and dangerously injured , hopes are entertained of his recovery . The two lemalcs
escaped without the slightest injury . Singular Death . —On Friday afternoon week a man named David Bollison , about 27 years pi age , by trade a butcher , living in Brook-street , _Wjiptoagate , was engaged in carrying a young call to the slaughterhouse , and whilst proceeding along with tlie animal upon his shoulders , it suddenly turned its head round , and _caueht his threat with its teetli , and did not release its _hofd until the unfortunate man waa strangled . He was conveyed home , and a surgeon immediately tried every means to restore him , out to no effect . The suddenness of the attack caused the unfortunate man to fall to the ground , and _liavm-r hold cf ihe animal ' s feet with both hands * , prcvented him extricating himself from his antagonist .
Fire On Wai.Woi.Th Common.—On Sunday Nig...
iiKE at A » novER . _ Oa Sunday night last a fire broJte out . at Andover , in the new street leading to Newbury , which in spito of all the exertions of the inhabitants continued to burn all night , and totaUV destroyed six houses . So rapid was the _prosress of thft fire that some of the families escaped in their night clothes , and were glad to save their lives , having no opportunity to save anything else . The poor suflerers appeared in a miserable plight , as many as twenty of them having neither . clothinjj , homes , nor furniture , and no money wherewith to purchase any . Not one of them was insured . It is not known how the fire originated , but most likely from the overheating of a flue .
Curious Case . —At the Middlesex sessions , on Tuesday , William Fitch , aged 22 , John Walters , aged 15 , Ann Reed , aged 10 , and Elizabeth Thomas , aged 15 , were indicted for stealing a purse and tlie sum of five shillings , the property of Thomas Eraser Barclay , from the person of Lucy Charlotte Mary Barclay . They picked the lady ' s pocket in Oxfordstreet . The jury found the prisoners guilty . The learned Judge said that tlie history of the prisoner Fitch was somewhat singular . He was sentenced to transportation for seven years' at these sessions in January last , under the name of William Walker , but he had changed places with another prisoner , Nicholas Duncan , who had been convicted of felony , and sentenced to three months' imprisonment . The conviction happened at a late hour of the day on which the prisoner was tried , and having with other felons been removed to the cells beneath the court , preparatory to being forwarded to the Westminster
Bridewell , they there concocted a scheme to change names and personate each otner ; accordingly , . when called , the prisoner at the bar answered to the name ot Duncan , while the real Duncan responded to that of Walker , and the prisoner succeeded in escaping transportation , and was liberated at the exDiration of three months' imprisonment . His companion Dun-Can was now _fserving the term of seven years on board the Dromedary hulk at Bermuda , whence he had written home the otlier day , stating his bitter repentance of the change he had so foolishly made , and detailing all the eireumstances , which upon investigation were found to be true . The sentence ofthe court was , that the prisoner Fitch be transported beyond the seas for the term of ten years . John Walters and Mary Ann Reed were sentenced to six months' imprisonment , and Elizabeth Thomas to lour months' imprisonment in the House of Correction .
An Actbess charged wnn Pickixo Pockets . —At the Middlesex Sessions ou Wednesday , Mary Ann Bland was indicted for stealing a purse and 5 s . the property of Mary Barnes . The prisoner , it appeared , was an actress of some provincial celebrity . She had just returned from completing an engagement at a theatre in Shropshire , and was about with her husband , also an actor , to set off for the Dublin Theatre . She was observed by a policeman in plain clothes trying pockets during an afternoon stroll from the Lowtlier-arcade to Leicester-square . The policeman followed , closely observing her motions for somo time , until he obtained / as he termed it , a case , when
he immediately apprehended the prisoner . The _evi-( lenceof theprojecutrixhavin ff beengiven , Mr . Horry , in addressing thejury , commented strongly upon the conduct ofthe policeman iu tracking thc prisoner _, during which time he had , according to his own account , seen her make several attempts to pick pockets . That was a distinct offence , forthe commission of which he should have taken her into custody . The learned judge asked him why he had adopted that course ? The officer said thatthe magistrates did not like so many attempts . They liked a case . The jury returned a verdict of Guilty . The Court sentenced the prisoner to six months' imprisonment in the House of Correction ;
Destbuctivb Fire at Brixton . —At about halfpast ten o ' clock on Saturday , a fire broke out in the extensive premises occupied by Mr . W . Glanville , carpenter and builder , situate in tho _^ middle-road , Brixton , near the church . Some idea may be formed of the intensity of the heat sent forth from the burning mass , when we state that the fruit growing ou the trees in the immediate vicinity was actually roasted . Frightful Coach Accident . —On Sunday last , the London and Newmarket mail , which leaves Norwich at five e ' clock , met with a very serious accident at Cringletbrd-gatc . __ Coming rapidly down the hill , at the bottom of which is the turnpike-gate ( a _nood pace being required to mount the opposite declivity ) by some mistake the gate was flung back the wrong
vyay , and catching the forewheel shattered it to pieces , every spoke being removed , and the eoaeh body separated from thc axle-tree . The coachman , Newman ( a most steady driver ) , continued to hold the reins , and was much injured by being dragged and bruised . We regret to say a lady , who was , a passenger , had her arm broken , and three other passengers were SO much hurt that they were compelled to return to Norwich . A gentleman , a London traveller , was very much cut and contused about ; the face and head , but came on by another coach , for which a messenger was sent to Norwich , and which continued the j ' ourneyj arriving at Suffolk Hotel , in this town , two hours later than usual . Every attention was paid to the . sufferers that humanity could suggest , and the gentleman who arrived at Suffolk was going on well when our informant last inquired .
Extraordinary Suicide by a Boy . —On Tuesday last , R . Docker , Esq ., one of the coroners for the county of Worcester , held an inquest at the Fox and Goose public liouse , in Rcdditch , in that county , on the body ofa boy named James Abbott , who drowned himself in a well on his father ' s premises through fear of punishment for a venial offence . It seems that thc child had been playing in the garden with a spade , digging holes and amusing himself somewhat ' mischievously , when he was threatened by his
errandmother , that when liis father came home he should be whipped . The fear of this threatened punishment seems to have weighed on the child ' s mind , and shortly afterwards he endeavoured to prevail on a play-fellow to accompany him to " the well , " where he said he would " go and drown himself . " The nes ; t morning the lifeless body of the poor frightened _bpyiwas discovered in the well . Thejury returned a verdict to the effect , that deceased came to his death by drowning , but how or by what means he got into the well , there was no evidence to explain .
Self-destruction . —On Thursday afternoon Mr . Richards , a gun-stock maker , living in Castle-lane , and having another residence at Fulham , went to the Stag , Castle-lane , Pimlico , about five o ' clock , ' and , having gone to the back door , called for a pint ol porter , which Mrs . Church , the landlady , took to him . She had scarcely left the room when she was alarmed at the report of a pistol in the parlour , and , upon some persons going into the room , the unfor tunate man was found lying in a pool ot blood on the floor , and a p ' stol by his side . He was immediately taken up stairs in an insensible state , and surgeons sent for . It was then discovered he had shot himself under the right ear , ancl the bullet had most probably passed into tlie brain . Not the slightest hope is held of his recovery .
A Young Lady Found in . the Thames . — On Thursday morning , at _halflpast nine o ' clock , some watermen discovered the body of a young lady in the Thames , off Billingsgate dock . The deceased appeared to be about twenty years of age , dark eyes , hair , and complexion ; was attired in a purple speckled cotton gown , black crape bonnet , black boots , and white stockings , linen not marked , gold earrings , coral necklace , and two gold rings on her fingers ,. and a pair of black kid gloves on her hands . The body was removed to the workhouse of St ; Maryat-Hi ! J , to await a coroner ' s inquest .
A CiiihD Suffocated . —On Wednesday evening , Mr . Payne held an inquest at the Coopers' Arms , Towcr-strcet , Waterloo-road , as to the death of Lo . titia Blake , aged six months . On Monday night the parents of the deceased hired a bed at a lodginghouse in Gloucester-street , Tower-street , Waterlooroad . They were both very much intoxicated at the time , and the mother carried the deceased in lier arms . Thc following morning , about half-past eight , the keeper of the house gave information to the police , who took charge of both the father and mother . When questioned by the inspector as to the
deceased's death , the mother said she believed , as they were both intoxicated , that the deceased must have been suffocated . Mr . M . F . Wagstaff , the divisional surgeon , said that he was called to see thc deceased , whom he found quite dead . There were evident symptoms of the child having died from violence , most probably from suffocation . Both the parents have been remanded by Mr . Norton , the magistrate , to await the result of the present inquiry . The coroner remarked on the case , after whicli the jury returned a verdict of accidental death from suffocation .
Melancholy Accident . —An accident of a fatal and unhappy nature took place on Tuesday evening m the neighbourhood of Cancale , a few miles from St . Malo , which has plunged more than one family in sorrow and lamentation . A party of friends , consisting alto , ether of eight indiviauals , had proceeded a tew miles out to sea in a small boat to enjoy the pleasure ofa short marine- excursion , when on their return , their boat having struck upon one ofthe rocks with which the coast abounds , the whole party were precipitated into the water . It were impossible to describe the shrieks which now rent the air , the sounds of the cries being heard at tho distance of several miles . A number of individuals from thc shore having observed the disaster , immediately proceeded in boat to the
a scene of accident , but melancholy to relate , before they reached the fatal spot , two ot the unhappy beings had sunk to rise no more _, ilie _reniainde _* . were either clinging to the rock , or the boat from which they had been detached , which was now floating on tho wave with its bottom upwards . Provideutiali y ,. assistancc arrived before the strength ot the unhappy sufferers had become completely exhausted , else friends and relatives might naye hud their clip , if possible , filled with even " n _Inllcr measure ef sorrow than that which ithiw been tlieir Jot on the present sad occasion to experience .

Fire On Wai.Woi.Th Common.—On Sunday Nig...
Street Robbbrt . —At the Surrey Sessions on Tuesday , Frances Takers , a gaudily dressed young woman , was indicted for stealing a watch , the property bf ivichard Eaaon _, a man advanced in yeara . The robbery , it appeared , was effected in the street , the prosecutor having been for some time walking in the prisoner ' s company . A verdict of guilty having been returned , it was then stated that the prisoner had been frequently in custody for robbing men , and that she was one of the worst characters on that side of the water . The chairman sentenced the prisoner to ten years' transportation , and refused the prosecutor his expenses , on the ground of his having accompanied the prisoner , and given her an opportunity of robbing him .
Fatal Accident to a Child . —On Wednesday an inquest was held before Mr . Bedford , at the Queen ' s Avms Tavern , Dartmouth-street , _Queen ' s-squarc , Westminster , on the body of Edwin Arthur Urate , aged 18 months , whose parents reside at No . 76 , Gt . Peter-street . It appeared that the deceased was playing with a little cart , on the morning of Tuesday , at the corner of _Strutton-ground , and whilst endeavouring to cross the roadway , he ran under the county prison van , which was going at a steady pace , loaded with prisoners , to the Westminster House of Correction ; and before the driver could stop the horses , the off-wheel passed over his head . He was taken to the Westminster Hospital , where he died soon after his admission . The injuries were the cause of death . There did not appear any blame attributable , to the driver . The jury therefore returned a verdict of " Accidental death . "
Fatal Accident nbau _Hurwoon . —On Thursday , the 4 th inst ., as Mr . Benjamin Partington , a labouring man in the employ of Mr . John Linsey , of Gooden farm , was loading a cart with hay hefeli , and lighting on his head , broke his neck , and died immediately . He was a healthy 3 trong man , in the prime of life , and had been a good and faithful servant to Mr . _Linsoy for many years . He has left a wife and family to deplore his untimely end . Murder at Dorking . —An inquest was held at the Hare and Hounds , Box-hill , on Friday , Sept . 5 th , on view of the body of Frederick Lynch , whose death was caused by the hand of a man of the name of Francis Taylor , foreman to the painting work of a gentleman ' s building , at Headly . It appears that on Tuesday nitht Taylor was in company with a girl
at Box-hill fair , when he imagined that he was followed about by two or three young men , whom , it is said , he threatened to stab if they continued to watch him . This led to a severe quarrel , and Taylor challenged to fight any man tliere . The challenge at the time was not accepted , * but as Taylor , in company with others of his associates were about to go home , they began to hoot and holloa at those they left behind ; whereupon deceased with others made towards them , and " asked what they wantod ? " A fight was the reply . " Well , " said deceased , advancing towards Taylor , " if that is what you want , I am your man . " Scarcely were the words out of his mouth before he received two stabs from a
sharppointed instrument , supposed to be that of a dagger walking-stick . Thc one was against the rib , tbe other under it , whicli penetrated through the bowels to the back ; very little blood was externally visible ; it flowed and settled within him . Mortification took place , and he died the following morning . Thejury , after a long investigation , returned a verdict of ' Wilful Murder against Taylor , and he was committed accordingly to take his trial at the next Surrey assizes . The prisoner , who had since his apprehension been very indifferent , and pleaded ignorance of the matter , cried violently at the return of the verdict . He is a native of Bath , and , it is said , has very respectable connections there .
_IIoRRiiiLE Case . —A letter from Brunswick of the 1 st gives an account of the almost miraculous escape from death of an innocent girl , who had been condemned to death by the tribunal of Vechelde , in the absence of the prisoner , on a charge of having wilfully set fire to a barn belonging to her master . The poor girl , after having in vain asserted that she was innocent , was flogged by an ofiicer of police until the pain became so severe , that to obtain relief she confessed that she was guilty . According to the law in Brunswick the trial took place in secret , and upon documentary evidence only . Whilst the clergyman of the prison was preparing her for execution , two men were arrested , and confessed that they were the perpetrators of the crime for whicli the girl had been
condemned to die . Iler execution was therefore postponed , and it being found that thc men in question were the real criminasl , she was set at liberty . An application was then made to the government fora pecuniary indemnity for the sufferings that the girl had undergone , but the application was rejected , and all that was done was to suspend from office for a fortnight the person who had inflicted the torture . The writer of the letter bestows great censure on the government for rejecting the application for indemnity ; but the same reproach would apply to most other countries . Indeed , we do not know one in which an indemnity is given to any person whose innocence has been recognised after having undergone the horrors of imprisonment , and even
condemnation . A Legai Scoundrel . —At the Surrey Sessinns . on Wednesday , George ltichard Fitt was indicted 'for defrauding Isaac Thomas Pearmainof sums of money amounting to £ 2 12 s . Gel ., under various pretences , he at the same time acting as attorney to the prosecutor in a case at the late Surrey assizes . From the evidence of the prosecutor it appeared that their son had been in thc county gaol for some montlis previous to the Jast Surrey assizes , on a felonious charge , and that wishing to . have professional assistance on his behalf , they employed the defendant to act ; and supplied him with money to retain Mr . Charnock , the barrister . This occurred a few weeks
previously to the assizes ; and on a subsequent occasion he proceeded to __ the prosecutor's residence at Thames Ditton , and informed him that tbe charge again & t his son had assumed a move serious aspect than might have first been anticipated , and that in consequence Mr . Charnock had desired him to say that he would require another counsel to" assist in undertaking the defence , as he could not possibly talk and work against the three who had been retained for the prosecution j the latter words ho par ticularly ascribed to have been used by the gentleman referred to . 0 wing to such representation the defendant received the sum of two guineas , though at the time the prosecutor and his wife were suffering great distress . On another occasion the defendant said he
would require the sum ot 10 s . Cd . tor drawing up a petition to a society whicli was established for the purpose of assisting poor persons , and which he was confident would award the sum of £ 10 on presentation by Mr . Charnock . He obtained that sum accordingly , and on seeing the prosecutor and his wife a few days afterwards , he informed them that the application had been successful , and that they would receive the £ 10 at . the termination of the trial . The prosecutor , however , sooii found that tliere had been no truth in any of the above statements . Thejury
immediately returned a verdict of Guilty , and the chairman in passing sentence , observed that after receiving the necessary sums for conducting the defence of prosecutor ' s son , the defendant thought pvoper by gross misrepresentations to exact other amounts , which he ( the chairman ) was informed were actually the proceeds of sale of the poor mail ' s bed . In justice to thc class to whicli the prosecutor belonged , as well as to thc public in general , Jic would , therefore , pass a sentence of twelve months' imprisonment on the defendant , with hard labour . The defendant was then removed .
A Traveller Missing . —On Tuesday information was lodged at tho Newcastle Police Ofiicc that Wm . Levett , a traveller to the firm of Johnson , Cammell _, and Co ., of Sheffield , who was last seen on the 25 th ult ., in the George Hotel , Newcastle , has since been missing . His . 'desk and trunks , which were at the George Hotel , have been opened , and his accounts found apparently correct . Levett is a young man , twenty-six years of age , sallow _complexioncd , and about the middle height . Fatal Accident at Clf . wer Mill , near Windsor .
—A respectable man , named Brackcnbury , engaged in the flour water-mill of Mr . _Aldridge , at Clcwcr , met with his death , on Monday last , in consequence of a large grindstone , worked by water-power , being dragged upon him , by the rope of the ily < wheel becoming entangled around the spindle . The wheel , with its fittings , weighing nearly half a ton , fell upon his chest , breaking three of his ribs , and rupturing several blood-vessels . The unfortunate man lived in the greatest agony about fifteen hours after the accident .
1 _'iitEs . —This morning , Saturday , a tobacconists shop in Albert-terrace , City-road , caught fire about one o ' clock , and with its contents was destroyed . — The stock of Mr . Aaron , a Sheffield dealer , Jamesstreet , Covent-garden , was also destroyed by fire this

Baker held an inquest at the City Arms , Mill-wall , Poplar , on the body , of Henry Stroode , aged seventeen years , sea apprentice on board tho ship Tigris , lying in thc West India Export Dock .

In about an hour thoy drank between them three bottles of stromi brandy out of a tumbler .

In the morning following he was found lying at tbe head ol the ship quite dead and cold .

Hull —A Lecture Will He Delivered At The...
- THE COLLOSSEUM . i 7 , 7 We have recently paid a visit to this exhibition , which it isnot enough to have seen once ; . it istlie most delightful promenade in London , and wm rcpaj _^ trequent inspection . We need not say thatthe panorama of London by night is thochiel object of attraction in the evening exhibition ; but to convey an adequate idea of this extraordinary work ot art is utterly impossible-it must be seen to be duly appreciated . The deception is most astonishing , and tne elaborate execution ofthe picture , together with the effects produced by the aid of mechanism , and other scenic appliances , is truly wonderful ; it is indeed quite a " new era in art . " The visitor may fancy himself elevated on the top of St . Paul ' s Cathedral on a clear moonlieht evening , and , dwelling
for awhile to accustom his eye to the light , he sees spread out around him the " vast metropolis illuminated by its numberless lamps and brilliant shops , whilst from abovc tho silver moon and twinkling stars—the immeasurable distances of which are admirably preserved—throw their reflection on the river , dotted as it is with the various craft , and ever and anon passing clouds veil Uic lustre of thc bright luminary , and for a moment interrupt the rippling sheen which her refulgence throws upon the water . Add to this the admirable representation of the haze by which the great city is encompassed , reflecting the light from every street—the occasional striking of clocks , and the distant sounds of night music—all tending to renderthe delusioH perfect—and the reader may have some faint conception of one oftlie most remarkable productions of the presentage . We scarcely
know which most to admire , the boldness ot tho conception , or the skill with which it has been executed ; suffice it to say , that the visitor can scarcely persuade himself that he is imposed upon by scenic effect whilst surveying the mighty city , shadowed out by moonlight with the most elaborate detail , and presenting a coup d' ceil oi * startling and magnificent effect . The Glyptotheca , or saloon of arts ( which we have before described ) , with its beautiful sculpture , and the refreshment room , are brilliantly illuminated ; the stalactite caverns of Adelsberg aro necessarily exhibited by artificial light ; and we understand the spirited proprietor intends , in a few days , to light up the Swiss scenery , conservatories , and classic ruins . The Colosseum , as a night exhibition , will then be perfect . A very powerful organ , built by Bevington , and designed for the Glyptotheca , will be opened in a day or two .
