      CANCER , EVERY VARIETY OF TUMOUR SCIRRHUS , FISTULA , &o . EXTIRPATED ¦ WITHOUT THE KNIFE , BY J . 3 d . WAKDy 18 , Trafalgar-street , Leeds , and 82 , Oldfield-road , Salford , QWELLINGS of the NECK , all Scrofulous DiskJ eases , whether from recent Syphilis , or hereditary causes , and every form of malady , which resist the commonly-known modes of treatment , are also , by a practical system of remediaLagency , effeotually cured . To those conversant with the history of Surgery and Medicine , it is well known that , up to the present time , these maladies have defied all and every combined effort of the medical literati ; and that from a general ignorance of healing agents , such is still the inadequate state of what has been called " regular practice , " that no means known offer the unfortunate sufferer any rational hopes of relief . Mr . Ward , having from advantages in the extensive practice , and under the tuition of his late and celebrated Father , of Maxwelltown , by Dumfries , become at an early age the master of a system , by which he removes every variety of the above diseases without either cutting , " keening , " or causing loss , of blood , and haying seen , during his professional pursuits , especially for the last fifteen years in Yorkshire , that of those who are annually attacked with Cancer atid Tumour , great numbers continue to become the victims of the "knives" of medical magnates , or mere mechanical Surgeons , and that many also fall by the still less scientific , and yet more barbarous maltreatment of " keeners , " he has availed himself of the press to make more Jfully known the success of his practice . Out of many hundreds of similar cures the following have been selected as references . CANCEROUi XDMOURS O » THE BREAST . BECENT CUUE 8 . Mrs . Brockbank , Top of Ashton-road , Manchester ; Mrs . Lofthouse , Ordsall-lane , Salford ; Mrs . Hannah Humphries , Hyde ; Mr . James Beswick , Dog and Partridge Inn , Heywood . The above individuals were previously cut , " keened , " and otherwise barbarously maltreated ; Mrs . Thomson Patricroft and Mrs . Maria Cope , Lomax-street , Manchester , both cured without incision or breaking the skin . Mrs . Siddy , Newtown , Manchester ; Mrs . Sarah Wood , Roundhay , near Leeds ; Mrs . Wright , Thorp-Arch ; and Mrs . Dickinson , Low-Harrogate . Permanent Cures , being the best criterion to prove efficient treatment , the following , also of the Breast , are from Three to Fourteen Years ' standing . Mrs . Blackwell , Mount-pleasant , Bradford ; Mrs . N eesam . East Parade , of the same place ; Mrs . Murgatroyd , Little-Horton ; Mrs . M . Vickers , Croft , Dewsbury ; Mrs . England , Cullingwbrth , ; Mrs . Priestley and Pricilla Bates , Ovenden ; Mrs . Ann Smithson , Mirfield , of both breasts ; Mrs . Cullingworth , and Mrs . Joseph Wade , both of Pannel , near Harrogate ; Mrs . Abbott , Methley , near Leeds ; Mr . John Gundle , Pontefract , and Sarah Horsfield , Ovenden , whose left breast was cut off at theage of 17 , in 1830 , at the Halifax Dispensary and left in a hopeless state . TUMOURS AND CANCERS BEMOTEd ' FROM DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE BODY . Mr . Buckley , Delph Saddleworth , of the side ; Mrs . Cpldwell , Stamford-street , Ashton ; Mrs . Duncan , Duckenfield ; a large Tumour under the ear , eleven years' growth ; Mrs . Tattersfield , Swamp ; Dewsbury Moor , of the arm ; and Mr . John Wood , Gomersal , Cancerof the Tongue . He was previously cut , which bad only increased the malady . Mr . Haste , Pudsey , of the lip . Mr . James Clay , horsebreaker , Armley-Heights , of the Nose ; Mrl George Trotter , of Middleton , near Leeds , of the hand ; Mr . Edward Hartley , Morton Banks , Keighley . His case was one to which the knife could not be applied without a frightfnl mutilation of his person , and had resisted "keening" for fifteeen months at Todmorden , by which his malady and sufferings were dreadfully augmented . Mr . Crowther , Gilpin " Hill , Dewsbury Moor , a large tumour of the Labia Pudendi ; and Mrs . Rtidd , Everingham , tumour of the Face of fifty years'increase . The following cures have been added , as shewing a power which remedial agency was never before known to possess , and are such proofs of efficient knowledge , in the treatment of diseased Structure , the equal of which Mr . Ward defies any man in Europe to produce . Mr . Wm , Bailey , in the employ of T . Cook , Esq . Dewsbury , afflicted with an increasing tumour for thirty-seven Years : cured twelve Years ago : Mrs . Goodworth , late of Wortley , near Leeds , but now in America , a tumour of thirty-two Years ' growth , which measured three inches more than the Circumference of her own head . Cured eleven years ago . Reference—Mr . Ingham , Butcher , Wortley . Mr . D » vidKirk , Alverthorp , Wakefield , tumour fourteen Years' growth : and Mr . John Booth , of Morley , cured twilre Years ago .: The above Tumours were all situated on the side of the Head , extending under the Ear , and in contact with tbe Carotid Artery , and -were extirpated alone by the power and salutary influence of remedial agency , and , therefore , without either cutting , "keening , " or causing the lo 3 S of a single drop of Blood . Days of Attendance at the above Establishments , for Consultation : —At Leeds , on Tuesdays , - at Manchester , on Thursdays . Nov ., 1842 .

      The C * rk Ctmsliimtion publishes ths proceedings of the coroner ' s irquest on the bodies of the two unfortunate men who lost their liTes in the Jste fatal affray at Skibbereen . The following is an abridged report d the most material facts elucidated : — SKIE 3 EBEE 5 , Monday . —Since the affray took place which le-i to the death of twa Tc * n , of which you have been heretofore informed , a large augmentation of police entered the town . The Earl of Baadra , Lienfcen&zit of the conxiy , came to Skibbereen on S 3 turdav ,

      » nd , finding that all excitement hsri subsided , te returned to Castle Bernard that evening . Sir O . Carey , general of the district , also came here on Saturday , and retained to Cort the same day . There iajs large body of the Hnssars and Infantry Btationed in ClonaMity , . " who are expected to be msTed here to-morrow . Though it iras imparted that four \ rere dead , thJere are " but two deaths up te the present time . There was one Tmm tilled on the spot , three badly wounded { one since desT ) , snd three slightly . Where the affray took place is five miles from Skibbereen , in the direction of Baltimore , to which plsce the police were moving .

      At ten o ' clock precisely 2 £ r . Franklin Baldwin took bis Eeat on the bench in the Court-house , and proceeded to boln an inquest on the bodies . Mr . Downing called Wiliam Driscoli , of the . town of Skibbereen . The witness being sworn , stated that he knew John Erifiit , who was £ sad . On last Thursday witness went ont with the constable to Creagh- Witness was in the rear . There was a rear guard of police- Mr . Jones \ ras before the rear . There were seven or eight police in the rear . Mr . Aylmer was in a gig before the party . When they came to Creagh there were sixty men , Tromen , acd children following the police . Could not Bay how many "vrere in the front Does not think Mr Jones could see what occurred at the head of the police . At this side of Creagh Mr . Jones desired the people to

      fall back , which they did . The rear-guard turned on the people , and a monnted policeman charged in amongst them , and attempted to take a man named Collina . Cullies was arrested . He had no coat on him . The people were doing nothing at the time . He waa bandcufiWd and carried on . The police then got orders to prime and load , and presented at the croxrd that -was ¦ with witness . Mr . Jones told the people to step back . When they got at the top of Creagh , witness saw Jlr . Aylmer tussling " with a countryman . -Brien , the deceased , was with witness at the time ; about forty yards from the rwr guard . There was ao shouting or atone-throwing at that time . The man tussling with Mi . Aylmer was bfjond the rear-guard at the aide of the road . The police were at this time to the west of Creagh chapel . At that time witness saw stones thrown at the police . The stones were thrown in the direct ion cf where Mr . Aylmer and the couErrjnian were . Saw none of the polica knocked down or cut . When

      the stones were tirown 'witness heard seine shots . They fired immediately after the stories were thrown . They fired one by one . The shots were fired in the direction where the stones were thrown from . . The . police ¦ wheeled round and fired in the rear . There was no Stone thrown there or shout given . It was there Brien fell , near witness . His face was turned to the police when he was shot . He was-forty or fifty yards from the police . He fell . Witness did not wait to take him up , as the people all ran as fast as they could . After they ran there were forty or fifty shots fired . Witness saw a man shot in tha back in a fi Jd as he was running away . The rear-guara , he thinks , primed and loaded twice . All the people , with witness ,, were throwing themselves down at the side of the ditches . The ground about Creagh was very rough , hilly , and full of rocks . On witnt-ss ' s oath , from the time he lef : town with Brien there was not a stone thrown or an offence given to the police by the people that . were with deceased and himself .

      Jamas Caxerley sworn- —Lives in Skibbereen . - Knew the deceased , Brien , whom he saw shot . Saw the last ¦ witness that day , with whom te was in company before the occurrence took place . When srrived at Highficldcross , was in front of the whols body of police .. Saw them handcuffing Collins . Saw them prime and load . TJd to that time bst » the people do nothing ; saw no stones thrown ; saw no pressure on the pol . ice by the people . Thtre were a good many people at the head cf the police ; there were about fifty persons . Witness kept always in frost of the whole bocy ; when they came to Creagh , Mr . Aylmer came levtKl times up to the mtn and asked tbrtu what they were abont , and whit did they want ? Mr . Aylmer 2 nd witness were walking together , when Mr . Avlicer ran eff and seiaed

      a man by the collar ; did not see the man do anything . The man had a stick in his hand . Mr . Ayliner wanted to tskc the stirk , but he threw it int * the field * " He then called , he ihonsht , an Sab-inspector Bre-w to take Hm prisoner . Th « re was co attack on tie police at the time . Sir . Brew then rode up , 223 d was near riding ever witness , who cot inside the ditch . Afterwards saw iJr . Brew stretched across the ditch , the man holding his Ewoid-scskbard . Could not swear whether lir . Brew had his sword drawn . After thst saw stones thrown from the south side of the road . Saw a good many stones thrown , but could not say how zlzwj ; witness thought fwenty at least . Did not see set of the police knocked -iown or cut . The police imijiediately leaped into the field with witness , and fired in the direction where the ttones came from . The

      p ^ ice factd , and nred frcm witness . Did not hear the orders to fire giTen . Thinks that Mr . Jones was in tfcs rear cf tie grest body of police . Does cot think that a man in the rear could see what occurred in tie front . The people ran , after about five shots The party in front of witness fired about fifteen ' iu ^ re . There were no to forty shots firtrd ali through . ¦» Saw ¦ w here Urirn fay ifWr te "was shot . That was ' . about RTcEty yards from where witness was whtn tie shots ¦ were fi : ed- Ssw no stones come from the direction ¦ where Brien was . Heard no sbcuticg there . The police must have turned round to fire at him . Brien must have been from thirty to forty yards , from the rear-guard . Hs was sitting with lie prcple abont him when witness came np to him . Saw McDonnell lying at the side where the police were themselves , net whtre the stones were thrown from . He Wisnot fiead -whin -oilntas saw him .

There -was no time for giving caution to the people between the throwing of the stones and the firing . The people ran before Ore police . Bis party , of course , stood , not being afraid , as they did Sottnns .

      ttvis-txamined by Mr . Jones . —The people -were tinder the iniDresEicn that there was to be tn attack at a certain piace . Heard people say thai there would be bad w&rk at Balljbinch—that there were & great number of people there . Heard that there was a great faction th-re , and that there would be bad work . When 1 left Skibbereen I expected that the police ¦ would be attacked . It tras to see it I went out . I beard of the fire * the night before on the bills . I beard the horns .

      ces 5 when he was down . Wien four er five sht , "t were fired , the rtone throwing ceased ; about forty shot were fired when the people were running away . The following is a copy of ttie d ; ing declaration made by one of the sufferers : — 11 CorsTT 01 Cobs . The dying declaration of John Brien , of Highstreet , Skibbereen , made before us this 19 th day of November , 1 S 42 . Proceeded as fir as Creagh , with the polic * in the rear , when Mr . Jones directed the police to fix bayonets . At this time there was no disturbance , or demonstration of any resistance . Proceeded to Rha , where Mr . Aylmer saw a man inside the road with a stick . Mr . Aylmer went in and took the stick from the man , wao was at the time doing nothing . Then a few stones were throwr , two or three from above the

      houses . Xeither of them struck the polica , because the stone 3 were thrown across the road , about thirty yards . A horse policeman then went in to heip Mr . Aylmer , and the man and Mr . Aylmer had a dispute about the stick . Tfie man took a sword from the horse policeman , when Mr . Jones desired the police to fire . Some fired towards Rha chapel , and some down the read , ¦ where deponens was . No » tone waa then thrown from that direction . Deponent then ran towards the house , when be waa shot through ths leg . There was no storse thrown at any time from the quarter where deponent was , nor was any stone thrown at aoy time until Jlr . Ayimer went to take the stick . Jir . Jones desired us ail to retrm to Creagh when he threatened to fire , and then tha police primed and loaded , and Mr . Aylmer begged of the crowd for G-oci's sake ~ to return Tais declaration I mjte , kcowine that I - cannot

      recover . " John Bri : e ^ , his ^ maik . " " Hueh Lawton . " D . 0 DonoTan . " These melancholy results of " passive resistance , " it would appear , hsve bad but litrle effort in allaying the deep-rooted animosity against ths rate which has taken hold of the minds of the peasantry . In the county of Tipperary , it is stated , that the police detachments in various districts are ordered to concentrate at Clonmel , where it is expected that the people will make a determined apposition to the payment of an additional rate which his been just laid on in that union ; and a similar manifestation has begun to display itself in the union of Clogheen , ic the same county .

      The first witness examined for the defence waa Mr . A . P . Aylmer , a relative and an agent of Lord Carberry , who possesses considerable property near the scene of the late fatal affray . Mr . Aylmer deposed to the manifest disposition of the people to obstruct the police in the dif charge of their duty from the tima the force ltft Skibbcreen till they arrived at Rhamore . This witness said , that the numbers of the p&asnntry gradually increased until he and his party arrived at Oldcourtbriage . " When we got to Creagh-eroBS , " he continued , " the people were joined by a cumber of persons from the Higbfield-road . Considerable shouting and excitement took place . There was a considerable number of persons collected at that plnce . There might be perhaps 206 there . At this time Mr . Jones had ordered them to prime and load , and considering that they would

      immediately fire , I went out between the men and the people , and expostulated with them in the strongest language I could nee to desist from their madness . Th * ir excitement was such that at this point we thought it necessary to have a flanking party out for fear of surprise . I stated to Mr . J ^ nes the dificult nature of the country into which he waa going , where many opportunities would offer for attacking him on the flanks . The flanking party continued about fifty yards from the road ; as the ground suited them , nntil we came to the chapel at Rhamore . A crowd followed us , and a crowd went a-head the whole way . Jso opportunity waa lost of expostulating with every one we met . The flanking party returned into the hich road , at the west side of Rhaniore chapeL They came threugh the chapel yard . I caunot Eay what brought them in that particular spot .

      The excitement on the hills round seemtd very great at that moment I then went on to the front , feeling that I was in a place wheTe I supposed I had a little influence . We ascended a small hill , where the road is extremely narrow . When wa had got to the top of the hill the advance guard of three mounted police were in front of ine , -when two men from the sonth side came towards me in a slanting direction . I took particular notice of the man that was nearest to me , thongh I cannot say that I could remember his fice . He had a stick under his left arm , and appeared to me to be there for the purpose of heading the party . I expostulated with him , and told him the trouble he might b : ing on himself . He made some answer to the effect that he waa doing no harm there , or ssmething to that purpose . I asked him what that

      stick was for , upon which he ftung it about twenty yards away to the westward ahead of him , but still persisted in walking against myself . I considered then he was determined upon opposition , when I took hold of him , and Varned round to call upon the police to give him into custody . While I was doiDg so Mr . Brew passed by me , in pursuit of a man who bad got , as 1 thought , his sword and scabbard , but it turned out to be only the scabbard . I sew ons of the horse pollce-» en in the field , and his object seemed to me torecover the scabbard . Things were exactly in that position when felt a blow « n my head , which 1 suppose was from a stone . I was knocked down by it . On recovering a lict . ' e I saw Captain Brew's horce in the middle of the road -withou . a rider . I took hold of the bridle to

      support myself , as I was stunned without receiving any great blow . I saw three or four men corns ronnd to the south end of Cnrly Collins * honse , as if to attack us ; Eeven or eight stones were thrown at the time from the front and from the south side : then I distinctly heard the word * ' Fire . " I cculd see nothing of what took place in the rear . I also heard the words " cease Fire , " when the firing instantly stopped . I don't think a single minute elapsed betwesn them . The whole matter has taken much longer in narration thin ii did in occurrence . I was particularly i-truck with the coolness of one of ikepaticenien who bad bi « gun poiated , and mighthsre shot a poor man who was running along the road side . I was trembling lest he might pnll the trigger , but he had coolness enough to stop . *

      To Mr . G 3 re Jones—From what occurred there I think the police would have been massacred if it were not for the mercifnl shots that had been fired—( great sensation in the court ; . And after a few minutes the witness added , I mean those shots in the front , for conld not see what occurred in the rear . I remember your having said to me that we bad the satisfaction of knowing that we had used all our efforts to prevent mischief being done . After much irregular discussion , Richard George Brew , sub-Inspector , was sworn and examined by Mr . Jones . HiB testimony went to confirm that of the preceding witness . After the examination of several other witnesses , Mr . Downing addressed the Jury ; and when the Learned Gentleman bad closed

      Mr . Jones said , that he would not then trespass on the time uf the Court and Jury , but was quite satisfied to Ie 3 ve the cas = in their hands , feeling convinced that they would decide according to thtir consciences and their oaths . Ths Coroner then commented briefly on the evidence , and laid down the law distinctly and fally as it applied to the finding of isurder , justifiable hemicide , or manslaughter . The Jury retired at twenty minutes to five o ' clock , and Wtre cioseted abonl ; three-quarters of an hour , when The Foreman entered the box . and desired to ask a question of tbe Coroner . He wished to know from the Coroner , did tbe unjustifiable firing cf the rear guard on the party in tbe rear constitute murder or manslauchter ?

      Coroner . —If they fuvd without any cause , or without thinking that they had any cause whatever , then you should reiurn a verdict of murder ; bnt , on the other hand , ii they had formed a presumption , althouch a wrong one , that there was 3 necessity for their firing , then you will briiig in a verdict of justifiable homicide , 01 m : oiilsugtxtr , just a-s you conceive Jon haye a right to do from the "whole of the evidence . 5 Foreman . —Mr . Coroner , there are many ycang men here on the jury , and they are anxious to know what will constitute a verdict—whether there must fce a majority . Coroner . —There must be a finding by twelve , but it wouid be better to have it unanimous . The Jury then retired , but again entered the box , ard rt quested that the Coroner would once more lay down the law , and in as britf terms as possible . The Coroner again laid it down in almost the same terms as before .

      Tpon which the jury retired as if then satisfied upon the exact point . In the course of another half hour they returned , and declared that they bad come to * . heir verdict . The following 13 the verdict in both cases (—" In the case cf Michael M-Dor . ne . l , we find that he came by his death in consequence of a gun-shot wound , fired t-y ore of a party of police , on the lands of Rha , en the 17 th of November , 1812 , under the eemmand of John Gore Jones , E « q , stipendiary magistrate ; and we find a vercict cf justifiable homicide , being of opinion that Mr . JuBes was justified in giving that order . '' The Jury were unanimous in giving the abovs verdict . The next was as follows : —

      " In the case of John Brien , we find that he came by his death in consequence of a gut-shot wound fired by one cf the party composing the rear-guard ander the command of constable Alexander Henston , at Rha , on the 17 th of November , 1842 ; and we find that the said rear-guard consisted of eight men , namely Alexander Henston , John Ktnedy , Richard Magrath , Jeremiah Guerin , Patrick Donoghme , Stephen Grady , Patrick Quinn , and Thomas Scott , and that they are guilty of Manslaughter , conceiving that under the circumstances , ihsy were not jnstiStd in firing on an unoffending party in the rear . "

      To tlos verdict the following sixteen names of jurors wtre nltaohed : —Daniel M"Caxthy , Thomas Henry Marmion . Richard Coppinger , Daniel Welpiy , Jehu Coliins , Patrick Mahony , Patrick Lrcnars , WUliam Youne , Jamts Co ' . lins . Daniel M'C-rtie . Richard O Lesry , Edward Fuller , Johr .

      Mr . Downing . —Gentlemen , it is my dnty to tell you that I entiruly coincide with you * verdict , and I say U , at it is both a discriminating and proper one . Forem » n . —We ha-re but endeavoured to discharge our dnty honestly and fairly . But we wish to have one 6 oservation ma « ie from this box . and it is this—tbat we hi ve ever looked upon this district 3 s one of the most pea . ceable and quiet of all Ireland , and did so up to this late melancholy transaction . We are Borry that bad advice & . hould have btea given to the poor misguided people by persons in a superior rank of life , for if thai mischie vous advice had not been rteeived by the poor people wo wonld not now be placed in our present painful position This we deem it right to have go before the country .

      The Assizes . —A contemporary says , — " We have good authority to state that there will not be a Special Commission held for the trial of prisoners in December ; nor will there be a gaol delivery before the regular assizes in March next . " Within the last week or two , upwards of sixty bushels of acorns , collected from the finest trees growing on Sherwood Forest and the Clumber estate , where the oaks are of first-rate quality , have been forwarded to the Commissioners of Woods and Forests , to be so » vn in Her Majesty ' s plantations in Hampshire .

      A CoiutEKCiAL Traveller , proceeding from Andnver to London , on Friday week , by the Southwestern Railway , left a linen bag ' containing 244 sovereigns and two silver watch cases on the seat of the carriage . On discovering his loss , he hastened back to the Nine Elni 3 station , but the bag had vanished , and ha 3 not ? ince been heard of , although the railway company has used every exertion , and the unfortunate loser has offered £ 50 for its

      recovery . It is rkharkaile that there is not a 5 th regiment of Light Dragoons . The reason is that , during the Irish rebellion , the 5 ch regiment almost to a man , deserted and joined the insurgents . This go exasperated George III ., that he declared a 5 th regiment should not exist during his reign ; and from that time the number of regiments jumps from four to six . Desperate Affhat with Poachebs . —It appears that a gang of poachers lme been in the habit lately of pursuing their nocturnal depredations in the preserres adjoining Warkworth , and on the night of Wednesday week they were guilty of an unprovoked and brutal attack upon the occupant of a neighbouring estate , and a gentleman who was with him , under

      the following circumstances : —On the night in question information waa brought to Morwick-hall , the residence of Mr . S . G . Barrett , ihat a party of poachers were upon the estate , and that gentleman immediately went out , accompanied by his brotherin-law , the Rev . H . Bell , vicar of Longhoughton , for the purpose of warning them off . Showily after leaving the house , and b <; ing a sho < $ . <§ 5 * suice from each other , Mr . Barrett heard Mr . Bell cafl out as if for aid , and on proceeding to the spot he found the Rev . Gentleman attacked by the _ whole gang , five in number , who had knocked him down , and were beating him unmercifully with the butts of their guns and bludgeons . After defending himself

      Mr . Barrett , who in turn was attacked , sucoeeded in getting out his pirtol-s , when the villains fled . Mr . Bell was conveyed to Morwick-hall , with one of his arms broken by a desperate blow from the butt of the gun , which was also broken by the blow , the butt end being afterwards foand on the spot ; he was also severely beaten about the head by the cowardly villains when on the ground . The Rev . Gentleman , though still suffering severely from the blows he receiv&d , is , we are happy to state , in a fair way of recovery ; and , from the measures that have been adopted , it is confidently anticipated that the Iawle 33 and ferociouB savage 3 will be brought to speedy justice . —Newcastle Journal .

      ROMF . HY OF THE Lo > 'DON JoiNT-STOCK BANK . — An unusual bustle was excited in tbe city in the couTse of Monday in consequence of the extensive robbery committed upon the London Joint-Stock Bank by one of the junior clerks of the establishment , named Edwin John Jordan .. The thief , who is a tall thin young man , had been sent out on Saturday to collect the amount of the checks , and received at the Bank of England eighteen notes for £ 1 . 0 GO each , one for £ 500 , one for £ 300 , one for £ 200 , two for £ 100 each , three for £ 50 each , two for £ 40 each , two for £ 30 each , one for £ 20 , and one for £ 5 ; tota ) , . £ 15 . 715 . As he did Dot appear at the London Joint-Stock Bank at four o ' clock , some apprehensions were entertained tbat he had met with some accident , but it is stated that the managers had no suspicion that he had decamped .

      It was , however , ws are given to understand , ascertained that he had exchanged bank-notes for 500 or 600 sovereigns at the Bank of England in the course or the day , so that little doubt waa then felt as to his departure with the whole of the property , Mr . Bush , the solicitor to the committee of bankers for pretection against forgeries and frauds , was engaged during the whole of Sunday on the business , and caused a reward of £ 600 to be offered for the apprehension of Jordan and the recovery of the notes . John and Daniel Forester , were also actively at work . The number of notes are known , and have been advertised , and messengers were sent off to the different parts of the continent . Mr . Bush ' s arrangements to meet occasions of the kind are so exoeilen ; , that every expectation is entertained of the recovery of the property .

      Sale or the Animals at the Manchester Zco-L 0 G 5 « aL Gardess . —Tiiis saie , the necessity ior which is one oi the melancholy proofs of the depression of the times , began on Wednesday , the first day being devoted chiefly to the bird .-, parrots , macaws , Ac . The weather was unfavourable , the gardens looked bleak and dismal , the half-melted snow lying on the ground , and the attendance was not numerous . The spltiidid-goiden eaale sold for only £ 1 4 s ., and the JaTge eagle for £ 1 14 s . The lot which excited the greatest interest was the large boa-constrictor , with the cage and hot-water apparatus for maintaining the requisite temperature . The cage was brought ont of the aviary and placed on tressels ; and the r-ptile , which , having had no food since the earlj part of October , was " deadly lively , " was inspected

      by the company . The £ r * t bid was five guineas ; and it was soon clear , thai the competition was between two parties , the proprietrix of a travelling menagerie now in Salford ( the counterpart of Miss Kelly ' s redoubtable -Mrs . Leo ) , and the no less celebrated Mr . Vvombvrell . An amusing contest now took place , by bids of halt ' -a-g"inea sach , which Mr . Fietcher , the auctioneer , of course promoted , with the usual eloquence of the hammer , till at the offer of 20 guineas by her opponent , the lady shook her head finally to the auctioneer ' s eloquent appeals , the hammer dropped , and Mr . Wombwell exclaimed , " It is mine , and I would have given forty for it . " ff . to emus were also knocked down to Mr . Wombwell for £ 8 , and a pelican for £ 7 . A fine blood-bound fetched £ 3 15 s . The denizens of the monkey-house

      went off with spirit , and were chiefly bought by Mr . Sharpies , of Bolton . One laughab ' e incident oocurred here . A monkey , who apparently did not like the appearanceof Mr . Fletcher , watchedits opportunity , and darting a hand through the bars of the cage , s . satched away the small silver hammer of the auctioneer , with which so many of his brethren had been " knocked down , " and darted away with it . The keeper , however , compelled the animal to give up the stolen prize , amidst the laughter of all present , the monkey house being filled to suffocation . The attendance at ihe second day ' s sale was much more numerous , the weather being fine . Tbe rockery , an immense pile of stone , which cost the company £ 200 , was sold for £ 19 . The splendid Bengal tiger , which cost j | 80 , was bought by Mr . WomBwell for £ 45 . The fine two-year old lion , bred in these gardens , was bought for Van Amburgh at £ 150 , and the lioness by Mr . Wombwell for £ 125 guineas . A male striped hyena was bought by Mr . Hulse , of

      Liverpoo ) , for £ 3 5 s ., and the female for £ 3 15 s . The company afterwards adjourned to the bear pits , where the competition and speculations as to the object of some of the " bidders" ( . who were Manchester hair-dressers ) caused a good deal of mirth . One large brown European bear was bought by Mr . Langfield , hair-dresser , Oxford-road , for £ 5 , the hams being afterwards disposed of to some admirers of bear ' s flesh . This bear was shot in the course of the day . There were numerous spectators to witness the dying agonies of poor Bruin , whose carcase was removed , and whose fat will , doubtless , ere long , anoint the heads of some of her Majesty ' s lieges in Manchester and the neighbourhood . The female elephant , valued at 4 < j # guineas , was bought in for the company at £ 250 . The rhinoceros , which cost the directors rear £ 500 , was bought by Mr . Wombwell for 2 u 6 guineas . The third day ' s sale consisted of impkmtnts , fittings up , &c . The gross amount of the three days' sale , exclusive of ihe elephant tuu ^ b ; in , is about £ 1 , 610 .

      Extraordinary Cask of Arson , —The police magistrates of Belfast were occupied the whole of Mutiday'last in an investigation which has caused great excitement in that town , arising out of a charge against two persons , one of whom was understood to be in rather comfortable circumstances , who were . charged with having entered into a conspiracy , and made an attempt to set fire to no fewer than fifteen houses , for the purpose of defrauding the County Insurance Office of London . The circumstances of the case are as follows :-On Saturday night last , the watchman on Stephen-street station observed fire issuiug from some empty houses in that street , and having given the alarm tho flames wore subdued . On examining the premises , in order to discover the cause of the fire , a quantity of carpenter ' s shavings and sticks , piled , aad covered with tar , was found , and amongst these were placed several lighted' candles—the entire arranged ia the most

      judicious manner possible for speedy combustion . The houses were insured , and had been occupied by improper persons ,. who were dispossessed at the last quarter sessions of this town , and since then the premises have been unlet . The houses intended to have been consumed , had the diabolical arrangement taken effect , belong to Mr . H . Hamilton , from whom they wereheld on lease by William M'Master . It appeared that the latter individual offered certain sums of money to Samuel Boyle , his own agent , and a carpenter named Nicholl , if they would set fire to the premises in question . Nicoll had , however , after helping to set fire to the houses , and fearing an arrest , turned informer , and waa a material witness in the ca

      Singular Wager . —The once celebrated Duke of Queensbury , of sporting notoriety , was in the habit of making the-most extraordinary bets . On one occasion he heard that there was a man resident in Norfolk who could eat at one sitting , a most enormous meal , sufficient to satisfy the appetites of forty ordinary men . The Duke had the man up to town , and betted a largo sum of money that he would find a person who would be able to eat more than the Norfolk glutton . In a short time he found his man . The beligerent parties , with their respective friends , met at an hotel , ^ where a superfluity of dishes were provided . The table groaned beneath the weight of roast and boiled turkeys , geese , legs of mutton , and round . 3 of beef . At a given signal two men commenced eating ; the Duke was present at the

      commencement of the engagement , and dire was the slaughter—shoulders of mutton , roast duck . 8 , and boiled fowls : ( disappeared a 8 if by magic . The Duke at last declared that the sight was too disgusting for ; him to witness , and he therefore proposed to retire ' into an adjoining room , giving instructions that a person should occasionally come to him and report progress . After the lapse of some time a friend of the Duke rushed into the room where he was waiting the issue of the conflict , and exclaimed , with , a loud voice , " My Lord Duke , my Lord Duke , I congratulate you ; it is all right ; your man is winning . "— " What do you moan 1 " asked the Duke . — " Why , my Lord , your man is three roast geese , and four boiled legs of mutton a-head of t ' other chap . "—F .
