FRANCE . XvOrnEROimuCE nr xhe Tyrast Louis PniLTrrE . _—I _' ahis _, Dec . 6 ih . — " To-day the quartier latin was in a state of great commotion , and something vcrv like an emeute took place among the students ! At one o ' clock upwards of 2 , 000 students from the . different colleges assembled at the Sorbonnc and _pro-^¦ ceded thence in procession to the neighbourhood of the Luxemburg , where M , _Quinct _, the celebrated professor of the College of France , resides . The object of the procession was to do honour to M . <| uinet for having refused to deliver his course of lectures on tiie literature of the south since the Minister of Public Instruction has mutilated his prospectus
, by forbidding all mention of the institutions . The procession was very orderly , and no noise was made beyond occasional cries of' Vive Q , uinet / ' A baa les Jcsuites / ute . On the arrival of the procession at M . _Quinet ' s residence that gentleman appeared , and -received a deputation sent to compliment h ! ni . lie thanked the students for their synioathy , but requested that they would quietly disperse . Notice Laving been received by the authorities of the intended procession , a large body of the municipal guards were on the spot ; and on the young men crying out * A _bas les Jesuites . ' they charged along the streets , and several were ran down and severely hurt , but none were lulled . Twenty or thirty _students have been arrested .
The Journal des Bebats of Sunday , in noticing the affair between the police and the students , when the latter went to compliment M . Quinet , says that the reason why the police interfered was , that tlie procession was directing itself towards the hotel ofthe Minister of Public Instruction , with the evident intention of insulting , if not injuring , that gentleman . The National denies tbis was the case . It says that the students , having delivered an address to M . Quinet , were retiring , when one of their number , who was at the head ofthe procession , called out , "The end of our meeting is now accomplished ; let us disperse : " and they were dispersing , when some agents oftbe police , in plain clothes , who had mixed among
the students , followed the young man , who gave the word to his fellow students to retire , and who was then separated from his companions , and arrested him , at the same time using him with unnecessary -violence . Some labourers and casual passengers , who observed this , expressed great indignation at the conduct of the police , and the young man , on his side , called to his companions for help . An affray immediately followed . The student was rescued , . and the municipal guards ( cavalry ) charged upon the crowd , when a great number were trodden down , and about twenty were arrested . The National says that this is one of those odious sceneswhich will add a new _pai-etothe sanguinary history of the police since 1830 .
The _SPecle publishes a document from M . _Deschatel , Proiessor of Rhetoric in the Royal College of J . ouis-le-Grand , which condemns , in the strongest terms , the conduct of the police in the disturbances which took place in Paris on Saturday last . " Far be it from us , " says that journal , " to condemn the police force , which has such arduous duties to fulfil , without justgronnds : but let any one peruse the version of the affair given by M . Deschatel , an eye-wit ness , and it mustappear evident that the police agents acted in a most unjustifiable manner . "
M . Emile Deschatel , the Professor of Rhetoric abave referred to , was arrested on Saturday by the police , in the square of the Medical School , as one of the rioters . It was in vain that ho mentioned his profession ; he was collared and ill-treated by the police agents and municipal guards , together with twenty other persons , equally innocent . The prisoners were then placed between a double file of soldiers , and thus marched through the city like malefactors to the Prefecture , where they remained confined until ade . egate of the Commissary of Police came to in-< mireinto the cause of their arrest . M . Deschatelremonstrated with that officer , but it was only after two or three hours ' confinement that , no charge being adduced against him , he was at last liberated . Some ofthe police agents havingpenetrated into the School of Medicine , in pursuit ofthe rioters , and arrested a number of the pupils who were quietly attending the lectures , or engaged in dissecting , M . Orfila , the
doyen , caused the intruders to be expeuea ana tue gates ofthe school to be closed , at the risk of being himself apprehended . He next proceeded to the Prefecture , and obtained from the Prefect the immediate release of the prisoners . "It is not the fault of the police , " says the _National , "if the Place de _l'Ecole de Medicine was not on Saturday the theatre of a sanguinary collision . A great number of letters have been addressed to us , which all agree in stating that the police agents appointed to maintain order conducted themselves in an unworthy , odious , and provoking manner . We Tegrcttliat we cannot , in our present number , publish those communications , but they are so numerous that we have not had _. time to analyse them . Besides theyoung men ofthe sohools , several witnesses , ¦ whose testimony cannot be suspected , amongst others _. a _' captainof engineers on half-pay , two merchants , and a lawyer , have fully confirmed the above statement . *"
More Barbarities Ef Algeria . —The Pans papers of Tucaday , publish letters from Algeria of the 19 tli ult ., _which give a description of an enormous razzia made by Marshal Bngeaud in the neighbourhood of llion _. _' of which the horrors are so great that they must shock every one having feelings of humanity .
SPAIN . _Mantm , Nov . 28 — Private letters from Barcelona represent the province of Catalonia , particularly those parts near the French frontier , to be in a state of much agitation , in consequence of the attempts made by the Captain-General to enforce the conscription , which is an object of so much hatred to the Catalans . It would appear that there are villages where the whole of the young men have absconded . Part of them have crossed the frontier , and others are still remaining hid in the mountains . All seem determined to abandon their homes and their families rather than submit to the stern discipline of a military life . Several of the letters alluded to regard a . -r ising in the _^ mpurdan as almost inevitable , in conthe
sequence of the rigorous measures adopted by Captain-General . The sudden departure of Breton Irom Gerona , on the 20 th , in the direction of Figueras , and with a considerable force of horse and foot , would show some foundation lor these fears . The discontent in that part of the kingdom , as well as other parts of Spain , is still greater when the inhabitants _Contrast the forbearance shown to the Basque _provinces with theseveritypracticed towards themselves . _Neither conscription nor contribution has as yet been attempted to be enforced in that favoured part of the Peninsula ; and though I have reason to believe that it is not the intention of government always to except the Basques from the general contribution of W „ J a „ d _monev naid by the rest of the population ,
-vet the exception heretofore made in their lavour is not less remarkable , nor less galling to the Catalans .
POLAXD . The Cosspibact at Poses . — The _Aitgsburgh _^ Gazette publishes the following details of the conspiracy latelv discovered in the capital of the Grand Duchy of Posen : — 'A soldier of the 6 th regiment ot the Line , by birth , a Pole , quartered at Gross Glopu , _, in Prussian Silesia , obtained a forlough . On leaving he told some of Ms comrades that perhaps he should never come back ; aud that if he did ! t would be ma character different from that in which he then was . This was reported to the commander of the regiment , and roused suspicions , which induced him to stop the man and put him under arrest Upon him were found a proclamation to the peoplo of Poland , dralts of letters in the Polish language , containing the plans of the ennsnirators . and the names of the _ chiels ,
almost all of whom are nobles of the third and lourtn classes . The plans were—first , to endeavour to win over the Polish peasants by promising them liberty , Vith many advantages ; secondly , to surprise a sma town situated near the city of SuJmierrzvclnv kill _ ali the Jews who live in it , thereby drawing thither the garrison Krotorzyce , and during its absence seizeall the provisions and ammunition with wlucli _ivrotorzvee ia stored , distribute them among the _loiisn peasants , and thereby enable them to «> _ntinuej _^ insurrection . The conspirators proposed _« u _^ , their projects into execution on the _Mfc _-f _^ _SS * the anniversary ofthe insurrection <* J _*; jV : *"" - The Prussian government has reinforced all tne 0 ar-Tisonsof the Grand Dachy with troops drawn irom Silesia " Ghasd Deem of Poses , the bsd of N 0 TEX _?!; f _ _i \ vinvfl inst learnt that late in the evening ot tne

In tho town and citadel of Posen further precautions ; are taken to oppose betimes , and with energy , the _attempts to disturb the public peace . A governmeat order was published at Warsaw on the rjth ult ., _aci- "rding to which there are to be in all the Catholic t . lurches an altar which is to be exclusively devotea to the Greek worship . The Greek priest is to have the choice of tlie two altars . BELGIUM . Bruges , Dec . 3- —Yes terday and to day , bands of workmen have been traversing the streets of this city . They go to the _principal manufacturers to ask for work , which is refused , because those persons cannot pay workmen whom . they cannot employ _. The workmen have also been to the burgomaster to represent their aituation and to demand work . Ihese assemblages have hitherto been peaceable , but we do not see them formed without apprehension .
# SWITZERLAND . The Executive Council of Lucerne proposed , on the 2 nd instant , a decree of amnesty to tbe Grand Council . The first article stipulates that the individuals implicated in the events ofthe Sth of December , 18 Ii , and the 31 st of March and the 1 st of April , 1 S 15 , shall pay a sum of 433 , 748 Swiss frams , before the loth of January , 184 G . When that sum shall have been paid , they will be liable to no other penalty than the deprivation of the rights of citizens . Twelve individuals , amongst whom where Dr . Steiger , and those who should not present themselves to the _authorities before the ISth of January , 1810 , were to be excluded from the benefit ofthe amnesty . No capital sentence was to be executed , except in the case of Dr . Steiger . The proposition was referred by the Grand Council to a committee of nine members .
THE RIVER PLATE . Liverpool , Satordat . —Accounts to the 2 _> th of September inclusive have been received from Buenos Ayres per the Sara Johanna , arrived in the Channel . The contents arc important . The contemplated blockade of the port had been instituted on the 24 th . The term allowed for the departure of neutral vessels had been extended to thirty days . The British and French Ministers had addressed to the Argentine Government a strong note , detailing the grievances of which they complain .
REPORTED RE V OLUTION IN BUENOS AYRES . The Madrid papers of the 3 rd mention that accounts had been brought by a vessel , which arrived at Malaga from La Plata , of an insurrection at Buenos Ayres , in consequence of which the British and French entered that eity , and denosed the President Rosas . It is probable that this is but an exaggerated edition of the taking of Colonia . No date is given . ALGERIA . The intelligence from Algiers of the 30 th ult . is thus summed up by the Reforme : —
Each mail from Africa brings fresh proofs of the incapacity of Governor-General Bugeaud . Whilst the Marshal was slowly moving in the south-west of the province of Algiers , and inarching and counter-marching during thirty . four days , without any result , Abd _. el . Kader left the sub-division of Tlemcen , traversed the whole province of Oran , passed repeatedly within a few leagues of Marshal Bugeaud , who believed him to have re-entered Morocco , reached Tiaret the moment the latter evacuated the place , crossed the mountains of Matmata whilst Marshal Bugeaud was amusing himself by measuring their altitude , and then , by a bold and decisive manoeuvre , resolutely advanced towards the south-east to invade the province of Constantine , leaving far behind bim Algiers , Marshal Bugeaud , and our columns , which he most skilfully turned and avoided . To give an idea of his boldness , we need only observe , that he is now upwards of a hnndred leagues distant from the point at which he entered our territory .
"Holy Alliance" Of The Pope With The Tyr...
"HOLY ALLIANCE" OF THE POPE WITH THE TYRANT NICHOLAS . Since the article , in our 7 th page , on " The Pope and the Autocrat , " was in type , we have seen the folio iving news from Frankfort , confirmatory of our views as to the alliance ofthe Pope with Nicholas . If the following is true , Poland is finally and completely betrayed by the spiritualdespot ofthe Vatican . The Frankfort _JounioTstates , that the differences between the Court of St . Petersburgh and that of Rome have been arranged , and that Russia will , in future , strenuously avoid all harsh measures against the Roman Catholic Church , whilst the Iloly See is to take care that the Catholic Church shall not interfere in any movements against the state .

FOREIGN MISCELLANY . Ibrahim Pacha is to visit Paris in the month of February , and it is said he will afterwards pay a visit to London . The _Fbexcd ExrEnrnos agaihst Madagascar is fully determined on , but it is thought it will not sail before the end of January . Destination of the Mormoxs . —The St . Louis Republican says— " Nootka or Vancouver Island , on the north-west coast of North America , is to be the final destination and home of the Mormon people , This island is about 300 miles long , and from 75 to 100 in width . Mexican _Sujtoay Amusements . —Mexico , Oct . 28 . —Last Sunday a fight between a lion , brought over from England for the purpose , and a Mexican bull , was to take place on the Plaza de Toros , which is
fitted up after the fashion ofthe Roman circus . The place was crowded to excess , in the expectation of seeing something very beautiful ; but the people were disappointed , for upon the lion being let out , instead of attacking the bull , as was expected , he laid himself _\ ery quietly down , and all the poking which he received from the people , and the worrying of _someidoss whichwere let in upon him _. could not bringhim to fight . This was perhaps natural , for when he entered , he was received with such a shout from the populace , that he was completely cowed , which the continued shouting of course increased ; the noise at the same time increasing , the people calling out " Qui viva el toro Mexicano , qui muero el lion , " < fcc ., they considering it as a great triumph for the Mexican bull . The next day a publication was sold in the street , entitled " El glorioso Triumfo del Toro Mexicano . "
The PorE axd the Czar . —A Berlin letter of the 27 tk ult ., in the Journal de Frankfort , states that all the differences between the Emperor of Russia and the Pope , on the subject of the Catholic Church in Russia , have been settled to the entire satisfaction of both parties . A New Race of People , of very superior intelligence and morals , is said to have been discovered in Africa , near the mission established by the American board at the Saboon . The _Moxks of St . _Bernard . —We lately men tioned that an accident had lately taken place on the St . Bernard , by which the lives of one of the monks ,
and three domestics attached to the hospital , were sacrificed . ThelatterwereinhabitantsoftheYalais , and the former was M . Cart , canon of Callanches , in Faucigny . The accident arose from an enormous avalanche from Mont-Mor t to the east of the hospital . It was in contemplation to trace out the road along the Combe , on the side ot the valley , and Canon Cart , who was known to be bold , robust , and the most intrepid among the brethren in braving storms , went to direct the operations , as several travellers were expected on that day ; he and his three companions were thus cut off while in the performance ot an act of hospitality and charity . —Galignani ' s Messenger .

LATE FIRE IN BARBICAN . Coroner ' s _Lvqdirt . — On Wednesday an inquiry of several hours duration was gone into before William Payne , Esq ., Coroner for the City , and a jury ot inhabitants of the ward of Cripplegate Without , for the purpose of ascertaining the cause of the fare which took place on Sunday night last , in the neighbourhood of Barbican , some few particulars of which are _wiven in another column . . The jury having been sworn , viewed the premises , situated in _Braim's-buiklinga , Beech-street , and on tlieir return the following evidence was laid before them : —_ „ . . .. .,,. Braim
Mrs . Mary Tyrrell , of No . 2 , s-buddings , Beech-street , deposed that on Sunday right last , about twenty minutes before twelve o ' clock , she was awoke by an alarm of fire , and on getting up saw flames _issuing from the windows of Mr . Ford's _prerSe ? at the end of tlie court . He is a painter , and thewindow from whence the flames Trere issuing are over the gateway . The lower part of the premises arfoccupied as a school by Mr .

She ( witness ) wWin _^ haM of weeks in messages for Mr . Ford , but about three weeks back he told her that he was going travelling and he should not require her to take asy more messages lor him . He verv seldom came to the premises , but durin » the last three weeks his visits had been more _fi-pouent . Thelasttime shesaw hiai at the premises
was on Thursday last . On Saturday night last sne saw a strong light on the first floor of Mr . h ord s premises , and smelt a strong smell of pitch or tar . Ihe li « ht was a stronger light than would bB emitted from a candle . She had smelt a similar smell when Mr . Ford carried on his business , and she spoke to him on the subject , when Ire said , with a sneer , "That I had a mind to mind his property as well as mv own too , and he was much obliged to me . " When she smelt the pitch and tar on Saturday she did not civc an alarm as she had been laughed at . Mrs . Julia Maria Allen , of No . 37 , _LeecU-strce ' ,
Late Fire In Barbican. Coroner's Lvqdirt...
said that on Sunday night , about a - quarter or twenty minutes past eleven o ' clock , ' she _vrat » going up stairs _, one noticed sparks flying up in the ai r , and her niece toldher there was a fire in Braim ' s-l wildings . She went there , and saw flames through ft _» e crevices of Mr . 1 ord ' s door and the windows above , Her nephew ( Mr . A . V . 'Allen ) held the school-room I ' 'elow of Mr . lord . ) I have heard Mr . Ford talk very ra vstcriously .. On the 17 th of November I recollect him speaking about fare . It took place in Mr . Allen ' s sch ool-room . I went there to see my nephew , and found VIr- Foi ' w there waiting . to see Mr . Allen , who was absent . Conversation ensued between us , and heaskei * if my nephew was insured . I told him I knew he wa s not ,
but that he was just on the point of being so . Mr . h ord replied that he wished he was , which made nie wonder why he ( Air . Ford ) should be so anxious abo . ut it . After using a great many ambiguous words , h . _" looked round the room , and said if a fire was to take place there , it would not go beyond those walls . I told him it was in a close court , with a great many email houses in it , and that it was impossible to tell where the consequences would stop . He replied that it would be confined to the corner , and would not go beyond the walls , j then asked him whether lie intended to set the placs on fire , telling him it would be a dangerous experiment to try . He laughed , and said , "Oh no , he hoped not ; he hoped to carry on _businew there vet . "
Mr . Alfred Victor Al 2 en , of No . 2 , Bunhilkw , school-master , said he took the lower part of Mr Ford ' s preraises from him at Michaelmas last , but did not _enttr into _occupatiw until the month of October . Tlw last time he was on the premises was on Saturday last about two o ' clock , which he left quite safe . He was not insuredlfor one farthing , and the property he lad lost in the tiire would amount to from 480 to £ 100 . He had been into the portion of the premises belonging to Mr . Ford . No business was carried on , and they were fill « d with stores of type in eases , old iron , paper , and oilier things , lie never saw such a heterogenous collection before . There were two _roomaon the _ground-flhor , with a sort of lott above the room over the gateway . Both rooms on the ground floor _caraie against the partition of hisschool-room . There were bundles of paper lying about in all directions aibout the premises ' . Coroner : Ilaveyou ever had any con _veraation with him about insurance ?
Mr . Allen : les , he has . asked me several times if I was insured , and has shown me his policy of insurance . I told him that 7 . intended to _insinre : and the last time he spoke to me-about it , I told hiroi that I had been about it . He toM me that his policy had been altered . First , _beeausa of my having a stove on my premises ; secondly , _property which had not been insured before ; and , thinlly , that he had found out a secret of insurance , by haying his rent insured for twelve months . On one occasion , whilst talking of the insurance , Mr . Ford _looked round the premises and said , " Mr . Bassingham _' s wall is a thirtcen-inch wall , and the house-wall and buiUdings on the other side a nine-inch wall , and if a fire occurred it would only clear out the corner . "
Uenry Andrew Mallet , engineer of the Whitecrossstation ofthe Fire Brigade , alter stating that he was called to the fire on Sunday night , said that he had made an examination of the premises that day ( Tuesday ) , at twelve o ' clock , and found a quantity of paper saturatedwith turpentine , in the further corner ol Mr . Ford ' s premises , also some shavings in the same spot . The shavings were also saturated with turpentine ; under them was a layer of coal tar , shavings , and paper , upon the floor , lie also found some brimstone at the same spot . A quantity of the paper and shavings were here prodnced by the witness , and examined by the coroner and jury .
William Taylor , a yonng man living in Braim ' sbuildings , deposed to seeing Mr . Ford go . into the premises on Saturday night , about eleven o ' clock , and smelling a strong smell of pitch . On that night he saw a strong light in thewindow as spoken of by the first _Jwitness , and on the Sunday evening smelt a strong and choking smell of pitch . Mr . John Edward Green , of Whitecross-street , agent tothe Imperial Fire Insurance , deposed to letting the premises in Braim ' s-buildings to Ford . Six weeks back he wished to increase his insurance on his stock and implements of business only , the premises being insured before . The old policy was cancelled , and witness obtained a new one , wliich he has still in his possession . The premium wns increased from 4 s . Cd . to 10 s . 6 d _., and the insurance was effected as follows : —Stock , for £ 185 ; furniture , £ 20 ; goods entrusted , £ 20 ; watches and trinkets , £ 10 ; and a year ' s rent , £ 10 . The whole insurance upon the premises and all , amounting to £ 410 .
Ihe Coroner asked Mr . Ford if he wished to say anything , but at the time telling him that if he took his advice he would say nothing . Mr . Ford said he should like to say a few words . He admitted that he was there on Saturday night for the purpose of clearing aroom out in whicli to put some furniture , but declared that it was a mystery how the fire occurred . The Coroner addressed the jury at some length , and left it to them to say whether they were of opinion that the fire had been caused by accident or wilfully . The room having been cleared of strangers , the jury , after some consultation , returned a verdict , " That the fire had been wilfully caused , and that George John Ford wa < guilty of arson . " The Coroner said he would not commit Mr . Ford
that night , but would allow him to be brought before the magistrate at Guildhall police court the next day .
Emhezzlemext Of Club Moneys.—At The Meet...
_Emhezzlemext of Club Moneys . —At the meeting of the Croydon bench of magistrates on Saturday , a person of respectable appearance , named James Tompson , who formerly filled the office of secretary to the Mitcham Block-printers' Benefit Society , was charged with having unlawfully __ embezzled and secreted £ 30 , the moneys of the society . Mr . Humphreys , solicitor , appeared in support of the charge , and Mr . Hill attended on behalf of the defendant . From the evidence adduced , it appeared that in the year 1839 the Mitcham Soeiety lent twe sums of £ 20 to the Bookbinders' Society , and this sum remained outstanding until the year 1 S 44 , when it was repaid in four sums of £ 10 each , and at this period it appeared that the defendant acted as secretary and treasurer to the association , and it was alleged that
he had only accounted for one of these sums ot £ 10 , and had appropriated the remaining £ 30 to his own use . Mr . Wade , who acted as secretary at the period when the loan was advanced , proved that fact , and he likewise stated that the entries ofthe advance of the two sums of £ 20 which were made in the books of the Mitcham Society , had both been altered to £ 10 , but he was unable to conjecture by whom the alteration had been made . Mr . Dunning , the secretary to the Bookbinders'Society , proved that at various periods during the latter end ofthe year 1844 and thecommencement of 1845 , he made four payments of £ 10 to the defendant , as secretary of the Mitcham Club , in repayment ofthe money that had been advanced by them . In cross-examination , the witness said that the money was advanced to assist the men against tlieir masters during a strike . Mr . Hill then made some further inquiries as to whether a sum of £ 1 , 500 had
not been expended for the same object ; but Mr . Humphreys objected , and contended that an inquiry of this description was entirely irrelevant , as the magistrates had nothing to do with the question whether the society , or the object for which the money was advanced , was legal or illegal , but the only point at issue was , whether the defendant had embezzled the money or not . The magistrates decided that they would not go into the question of the legality or illegality of the object for which the money was advanced , but should confine themselves strictly to the question of embezzlement . The magistrates , after a short deliberation , said they thought there was sufficient evidence to warrant them in sending the case for further investigation , but they should take the personal recognizance of the defendant in £ 40 , with two sureties in £ 20 each , for his appearance at the assizes to answer the charge .
Iscekmart Fire at Forkham . —Between twelve and one o ' clock on Sunday morning last , a fire was discovered upon the farming premises of Mr . Witt , of Fornham . -Mr . Witt , we understand , had retired to rest , and was just passing into sleep , when his attention was attracted to a flickering light in the room ; he instantly rose , and lookingout , discovered his stacks on fire . An alarm was given , and in the course of ten minutes a surprising throng of people collected , the Rev . Mr . Benyon ' _s coachman with the rev . gentleman ' s engine being promptly on the spot . Information speedily arriving in Bury , the engines of the Norwich Union and the Suffolk Fire office were despatched with all expedition , reaching Mr . Witt's premisesabout half-past one . It was found impossible to bring the whole ofthe engines into play , the scarcity of water and the distance from which it had to be brought rendering the efforts of two ofthe engines altogether nugatory . Meanwhile the names had made such rapid _progress , throwing up a red redis
flection in the air , which was seen from a great - tance . The utmost exertions were made to subdue the raging element and save the property . But the deficiency of water defeated every effort . No water could be ' obtained nearer than the river , and two engines therefore had to be kept constantly employed to supply one , the Norwich Union , which alone could be brought to bear upon the flames . This arose horn not having a sufficient length of hose , the three engines having to join together to convey water from the river , which being pumped from one to the other , reached at last the sole engine that could be eftectually employed . Five stacks were consumed , a , pea stack , two straw stacks , a hay stack , and a clover stack . Had the wind been favourable to the design f the incendiary the whole ofthe premises must have been totally destroyed . On the whole the peop le collected behaved very well , but some observations were heard passing from one to the other which showed that there was a bad feeling rankling in the bosom of some of them .

recourse was eventually had tothe Postmaster-General , who , upon being made acquainted with the particulars , thought the most advisable step would be to send down Mr . It . W .

"e on I'hursday , when he obtained all the information _™ l " _- > at ' tcr which he came to the conclusion that Wl ham Garrett , a young man employed to delive . _"'e letters in Rugby , was the guilty party , and in ° \ _'der to ascertain whether he was correct or not in h 1 S suspicions , Mr . Peacock caused a half sovereign to be marked on both sides , and then enclosed in ft _lottor , which wns put into the post-ofhec at Rugby , a ud subsequently delivered into the hands of Garrett .

The coroner and jury highly eompli . mented Miss Wasford for her intrepidittj . Verdict , accidental death .
IIoRRinLE _Muroeu hear Borrisokane ; . —In addition to a long catalogue of " Tipperary outrages , " contained in the Dublin news of Wednesday , we observe the following account of a pcrpetraaion of a murder , under the most revolting _circumstances , near Borrisokane , on Monday evening . Thevietim in this instance was a man of the name of li . k _^ an . He had been in Portumna _, we understand , cVirii _, <; the day , disposing of corn , and was returning homewards lending his horse and __ car , when , at the _gaieol Kyle'Park , he was waylaid and shot dead . The weapon , it is thought , was a blunderbuss , which must have been placed near the body of the _unfortunate man , as the clothes were torn by the shot , ami partially burned .
A Melancholy _Accipent occurred a few days ago , at Tivctshall , to the Rev . John Neville White , the rector of that parish . It appears that he had for many months past been suffering from defective vision , and on Tuesday last , in the afternoon , he had occasion to go into a plantation on his premises , where he had been felling some poles , for the purpose of looking at them before they were sold . These pules were lying close by the pond , and it is supposed Mr . White stumbled against the stumps of some of the trees in the path , and was precipitated into the
water . His body was not found for several hours afterward *; he was then , of course quite dead . The following day ah inquest was held on the body , before Mr . John Pilgrim , j un ., deputy coroner . After hearing the evidence , wliich was of a most conclusive nature , the jury immediately returned a verdict that the deceased was accidentally drowned . The reverend gentleman bore a most amiable and honourable character , was _ereatly beloved in his parish , and by a large circle of friends . He was the brother of the poet , Henry Kirke White , and was in the 61 st year of his age . —Bury l _^ st .
Extraorpixarv FORTITUDE . — The Edinburgh Weekly Chronicle narrates the following extraordinary instance of presence of mind and fortitude . A few days ago , Samuel Mason , tentorinoneof Mr . Swan ' s mills near Kiikaldy , met with a severe accident in the following manner : —Having observed a cord entangled with one ofthe belts , he went up a ladder to relieve the same ; but , on doing so , the slack portion ofthe cord took a turn round his left thumb and arm as it was drawn onward by the movement of the belt . Being thus fixed , he foresaw his instant destruction if drawn up to the pulley by the belt , and , with singular fortitude and presence of mind , he grasped a column close by with his arms and legs , and helu on till his arm was literally sawed and torn asunder : being thus relieved , he slid down the column to the floor , took off his bonnet and clapped it on the
bleeding stump , holding it with his hand , rushed cut , and across the street to his father-in-law . where , exhausted and breathless , he fell on the floor , before the engine was set off , being the first means by which any assistance could have been rendered him . An express was immediately despatched for surgical aid to Kiikaldy , a distance of more than two miles , when his aim was amputated above the torn part ; but ; finding the bone so much injured , they made another amputation a little below the shoulder-joint . He stood the operations well , though he must have been much exhausted from the loss of blood and the unavoidable length of time that elapsed before surgical assistance could be rendered . Nevertheless , after being carried to his own house in a chair , he went up his own stairs on his feet , and has since been doing wonderfully well .
Fatal Accident on London Bridge . — On Tuesday Wr . W . Payne held an inquest in St . Thomas ' s Hospital , on the hody of William Ford , aged thirtyseven years . Deceased was the conductor of one of Wheatley ' s omnibuses , and whilst proceeding over London-bridge on the morning of Saturday , the 22 nd ult ., towards High-street , Southwark , the strap behind the vehicle gave way , and the deceased was precipitated into the carriage , and before the driver could stop the horses he was dragged several yards along the ground by his feet , whicli by some means
got entangled in the iron scroll-work fixed on the steps , several of the foot-passengers ran to him , and extricated him from his frightful position in a state of insensibility . Deceased was removed by two police-constables to the accident-ward of the above hospital , where it was ascertained that he had received a fracture of the left leg below the knee . The deceased progressed very favourably for the first week , but inflammation of the lungs and pleura subsequently came on , causing his death on Sunday morning last . Verdict iu accordance with the medical testimony .
Alleged Death frosi Violence . — On Monday morning Mr . William Carter , the coroner for Surrey , and a jury , opened an inquiry in the Board-room of Lambeth workhouse , relative to the death of Eliza Stokes , aged 21 years , late a pauper in the above house , who it was alleged had died from the effects of violence : —Mr . Thomas Oliver Duke , one of the parochial surgeons , residing at No . 17 , llarleyfordplace , Kennington-common , deposed that the deceased came under his notice about the 14 th of November , as a deceased pauper . Witness placed her under the usual treatment . She had a violent cough and difficulty of breathing . The symptoms increased , and on the 27 th she became much excited , in consequence of some violence used by two females who were in the same ward , and when witness arrived she had given birth to a child . Deceased had a bruise on the left temple . Witness did not take any particular
notice of the bruise at first sight , as it seemed of a very slight nature . Witness attended her daily until the morning of Wednesday last , when she died in the absence of witness . Coroner : When you saw the deceased after death , did you attribute her decease to the injury on tho head , or to any other act of violence ? Witnes : I did , sir , at first in my own mind , but have since made a post mortem examination of the body . There was no injury to the skull and scalp . The brain and its membranes were rather congested . The lungs were diseased and very much inflamed , and were adhering to the pericardium . The ribs were sound , the abdomen and viscera were also healthy _. Witness was of opinion that the deceased died horn natural causes , resulting upon the deceased stale- ol her body , whicli had probably been accelerated \ _y excitement . The jury _reewded a verdict of— "Beatb from natural causes . "
Darixg Robbery . —On Saturday night , between ' six and seven o'clock , a man called at the _tisor of Mrs . Angus , residing near the foot of _Cvown-strcet _, lIutchcsontowH , on the pretence of asking charity . Mrs . Angus , who answered the call , deelincdto serve him on which the man pushed her aside and entered the house . Immediately thereafter- a female , who was not before observed , made hec appearance , and seizing Mrs . Angus by the throat , threw her upon the floor , and held her therewith a firm sra _^ p .

and joining the one who had first entered , the two commenced to plunder the house , there being no grown-up person , with the exception of Mrs . Angus , present . They laid hold ofa silver watch , two pairs of blankets , a tartan shawl , a girl ' s velvet tippet , n cotton gown , and some other articles of smaller value , and made an attempt to force a _truiif ; , in which , however , they were unsuccessful . The party then hurriedly left the house , taking the articles abovenamed along with them . All this time Mrs . Angus was under the hands of the female , and unable to make the least resistance ; there were children in tin house , but of such an age as to render them incapabh of giving any alarm to the neighbours . In theso circumstances the miscreants made their escape . A more daring instance of robbery we havcseldom been called upon to record within tbe limits ofthe city ; and we earnestly trust that the police will be able to secure the depredators , so as to insure the punishment which so serious a crime deserves . —Glasgow Argus .
Melancholy Accident . —On Wednesday week _, about mid-day , a party consisting of four young men and a girl left the boat-house of Inverdruie , Rothiemurchus , for the purpose of crossing the Spey . Tlieir names were John Mnnro _, John Macmillan , and Janet Macdenald—all from Urquhart ; Jolm Mackintosh from Strathnairn ; and Angus Macdonald _, from Knoydart . Owing to the late heavy falls of rain in the district , the river was very high , and having partaken of some refreshment , after reaching the opposite shore , the party found themselves surrounded with water in the direction they intended to take . To avoid the distance of going round , which would not be less than half a mile , they proposed taking the boat across , and after they got well over , it was discovered a safe landipg-place could not be found . They plied the oars forsometime , and at last were borne down with the impetuous stream , until the boat struck against a tree ] and the whole were precipitated into the water . Macdonald and
Mackintosh instantly disappeared . Munro being a powerful young man , succeeded in swimming ashore . Macmillan got his breast across a strong branch of the : tree , and the girl got hold below , stawMng in vrater _to-the shoulders , and Macmillan grasping her from above . It very fortunately happened that some shepherds Were near at the ii _*» ie , and hearing cries for help ; they proceeded to Tft _* e spot , and in less than half aw hour scores of _peojiaie were congregated on both sides of the river . Boate were procured 1 with as little delay as- possible , and several ineffectual attempts were madteto rescue _tbennfortunatesiaSereis . MacmiDau held tbe young _voirem fast with ons- hand for an hour" and ai-half . No _bettS , however , getting nearthemv and his-strength faiSng , he could retain bra hold no- longer , and the girl-mis swept awar _? by tha remorseless- current . By three o ' clock he was rescued from his- perilous _situaJiba , through _She praiseworthy _e-tfei'Bib & j of Lieuten « _ifi John _Gordon , of the 05 th _Regiment ; .- The parties drowned were _ih \ unmarried .

The BanKKSwELi , Murder . _—N-sst-haniet . Shah * , the supposed _CuLPnit , in- _Custod _? . —In the course of Wednesday morning , police _constable Holmes , » t ' the Coventry force , took ai _youiig-leoking fellow , & about twenty years of age ; before the Mayor ci Coventry andi other magistrates , on suspicion of being concerned in tilie murder of 'Ifhomas 'Jfsanter , an old resident in the parish of _B'erfeeswelly but who was killed by soms- person unknown on the-17 th uliimo . The Hall of St . Mary ' s was much crowded . The prisoner gave his same as James Reed—same name as the person who is supposed to have committed the murder , aud who lias likewise absconded , and the particulars of his _apprehension arc these : —lie is a
labourer , out of employment , and came from Denham . in Buckinghamshire , twenty-three miles from Aylesbury . He was detained at the Aylesbury Policeoffice , as applying there on Saturday night last for a bed , on his giving the name of James Reed . The attention of the officer in waiting was more particularly directed to him on giving this name , and examined him closer . It iippears that , in his opinion , he corresponded with the description given in tingovernment Gazette of Young Heed , of _Berkeswell and he was accordingly detained . Holmes brought him to Coventry on Tuesday night , he was examined on Wednesday , and will be further remanded umi ! Friday , when he will be taken before the magistrates of the county
ROBBERY and Suspected Murder near East Retford . —On Tuesday last an inquest was holden at Laneham , near East-Retford , on the body of Mr . Robert Draper , an eccentric gentleman of that place , who came by his death , as was supposed , by a fit ol apoplexy . Circumstances , however , exciting suspicion , the body was exhumed , and on the inquest it came out that the deceased had been robbed by hi .- * housekeeper , named Harriet Baxter Trevor , and a labouring man named Troop , of valuable property to a large amount . The evidence of the medical _witnesses excited strong suspicion that the deceased gentleman came to his death by violence , but the jury returned a verdict , " That Mr . Draper died on the Sth day of November , 1815 , but that no satisfactory evidence had been given to them as to the cause ol death . " The two servants confessed to the robbery , and on Wednesday last were both committed to the house of correction at Southwell , to take their trials at the next Retford sessions .
Fire in _Bisiiopsgate-Without . —A most extensive fire occurred on Friday night , shortly before eleven o ' clock , in the Catherine-wheel , and George-court , _Bisliopsgate-witliout , by which a lofty erection of four floors was burned from the base to the roof . A vast quantity of valuable property was destroyed , and the beautiful chapel , known as Bishop 3 gate Chapel , so far jeopardised , that for some time the greatest fears were entertained for its safety . Overflowing of tub Thames — Disastrous Effects , —In consequence of the prevalence of the north-east winds , and the gale of Thusday morning , which forced the water up the Channel , the river overflowed its banks on Thursday ni » ht , and tho tide rose to a great height , At midnight the sudden rushing of the waters over the enbankmen ts ofthe Thames
and through the wharfs and alleys _leading into the streets , aroused the inhabitants from their slumbers , and a scene of _liidescribableconfusion took place . A great many persons were saved in Wapping , Shadwell _, the numerous courts aud alleys leading out of Bankside and other places by the activity of the police , those of the Thames division being very assiduous in their exertions . An hour before the time named in the calendar for the primary high water , the river was several inches above the usual level , and it continued to flow with a velocity which astonished the oldest watermen and lightermen , until five minutes after one o ' clock yesterday morning , an bom
bjyond the time named for high water at Londonbridge , when the tide was one inch higher at the St . Katherine ' _s-dock-gates than it was in November , 18 * 11 , when a similar disastrous visitation occurred . It would be impossible to recount a tithe of the hairbreadth escapes from drowning , or to aive anything like a complete list of the houses , warehouses , granaries , wharfs , and other buildings damaged by the inundation . From Gravesend to Putney the loss of property on both shores has been immense . Happily there has been no loss of life , but a great number ot poor families have suffered arcat loss , and will , in consequence , contnue to suffer much discomfort for some time to come .

TIIE ITALIAN FREE SCHOOL . [ From the Examiner 1 The Italian Free School , in Greville-street , Leather-lane , whose excellent and benevolent objects we have on former occasions alluded to , has lately celebrated its fourth anniversary . The school rooms were crowded with above 200 of the pupils ; and among them were seated several Indies and gentlemen of rank who have taken an interest in tlieir welfare . A distribution of prizes took place amidst much pleasing excitement and cheerful applause ; after which the director , Mr . Pistrucci , and the founder , Mr . Mazzini , with two other gentlcmes , spoke forcibly and eloquently on the state of _-Vhe school , its objects and its resources ; and the _cvenine closed with a highly interesting " charity feast , " prepared for tbe pupils at the expense of the _director . . .
This Scula Graiuita Italiana was founded in 1 S 41 , and first opened on the 10 th of November ol that _vcar . It was intended for the improvement of all poor Italians , without distinction ; but chiefly for that of those organ boys , and traders in plaster casts , above one thousand of whom are now toiling in the streets of London , and along the thoroughfares in the _cwin-The school is opened for two hours and ahalfevery evening ( Monday excepted ) , and for three hows _asd a half on Sundays ; on the latter day , in addition to the humbler branches of instruction , a lecture on moral , historical , or scientific subjects , being delivered at half-past _eight . The pupils are instructed in the Italian and English languages , in reading and writing , arithmetic and mechanics , geography , drawing , & c . None of the masters , with theexception of two , receive any emolument . Writing and drawing materials , books , paper , & e ., uve afforded gratuitousl _y to the pupils _.

Tiiesciiool iv _.-w originally suppuricu by tue voluntary subscriptions of Italian gentlemen ¦ residing ¦ m London ; but soon Ladv Noel Byron , Mrs . Milner Gibson Mr . Thctnas Carlvle , Sir . James Clarke , Mr . Mill , Mr . _Tovnbuc , and others , offered their co-operation and patronage ; so that English beneficence contributes now a very ample share toward the support of this foreign institution . On the other hand , the school has hadalso its opponents . Tlie many hundreds of boys crowding i . ts rooms from every quarter roused the suspicions of tlieagentsof the Italian Government in this country , who apprehended in it a hot-bed of rebellion , and whose fertile imagination conjured up a legion of organ boys organized in formidable ranks in Greville-street , mid marching , under the orders of Mr , Mazzini , to the conquest of Italy . The priests of the Roman Catholic chapels in " London also wilfully misconstrued the school into a seminary of atheism and
infidelity , for no other apparent reason than the distribution of New Testa ments in the Italian language yearly made among the boys . The father Baldacconi , on this ground , openly cried anathema to the school from the pulpit of the Sardinian Chapel . But it * most formidable enemies were the padroni , or masters ofthe poor Italian mendicants , who , under the pretence of apprenticeship , havo the wretched organplayers under _absolute control , These had caught the war-cry from the priests ; and by severe flogging and starvation they succeeded , toa ' _gi-cat extent-, iu thinning the ranks of the school . Many of the pupils with tears in their eyes delivered up their books to their kind master .- * , nil intercourse with whom had become out ofthe question ; and such was the effect , even on some ofthe subscribers , that at the end of the second year the school was threatened with imminent ruin .
1 he irresistible power of a really good and humane design , however , and the _peracrcraacc of the school ' s founders and friends , hare weathered the storm , and though a larger number of permanent subscribers would be a great desideratum , yet we learn with peculiar pleasure that the large ' amount of occasional bounties leaves no uneasiness as to the prosperous continuance of this admirable and most charitable institution . We have thought that this brief statement might interest our * readers . If they think it worth while to inquire farther for themselves , they will find _mncli more to interest them ;• and , , ve will venture * to add , to engage their active help and sympathy .
