BxsTBrrnrx Fibe ai Hoxto >\— On Christmas day morning , at half-past three o ' clock , a fire-was discorered by the police-constable on the i * eat , raging in the extensile workshops belongng to Mr . Michael Mahoney , cabinet-maker , 31 , Sigfi-street , Hoxton Old To-wn . Information of the occmrence -iras -wititout delay furnished to the several engine stations , and in a Tery short ^ pace of time five brigade engines and the West of England were on the spot . An abnndani sapply of water from the mains of the New 3 £ rrer Company being readxhr furnished , the fire -was confined to the bnHding in Trhieh it originated . Before it "was extinguished , however , the y hole of Ae R-orkshops , 40 feet long by 16 broad , -with contents and roof , were destroyed . The origin of the fire is unknown .
" FtTit . AGCIDKST AT THS "WlSDBOB T ^ HHiTKE . TTeo > sob , Tcx 5 i > at ErEsnte . —A lamentable accident occurred at the "Windsor Theatre on Tuesday evening , to Mrs . Sarah Hume , 63 years of age , the trife of a journeyman cutler , residing at Eton , who met with her death bv accidentally felling over the eallery into tie pit . An inquest was held on "Wednesday on the l » dy of the deceased , at the Crown aid Cushion Inn , Eton , before John Parton , Esq ., of Beaconsfield , one of the deputy coroners for the county of Bucks . Laura Hume , " the daughter of the deceased , who had accompanied lier inotfier and father to the theatre , was then brought into the room by her father in a state of extreme mental anguish , and gave her evidence as follows : —I went " into the gallery of the
theatre last evening with my mother . My mother , 5 n stepping over the benches , with her arms folded , to ° -ei on to the front seat , tipped her Mp on the topia 5 . and fell over . 1 immediately ran out of the gallery and met my father on the stairs , whom 1 told of the dreadiu ] accident mr poor mother had met with . Samuel Southgate , leader of the orchestra , stated that , on going into the orchestra to place the music , he heard the sound af somebodv stumbling in the gallery , and a cry of " 01 " and that on looBng up he saw a female " fall over . In her descent she turned once round , and fell on her back into the pit . Her back rested on one seat , and her head and feet an two others . The pit was empty at-the time . Mr . Bjeevea ^ the manager of the theatre , was then sworn . He stated that there were four rows of seats in the gallerr , -with a space of eighteen inches between each seat . " The distance from the front to the back seat vzs eight feet . The back row of seats was five feet
higher tnan the front row . The height of ihe railing in front of the callery was only two feet eight inches . [ Here surpr ise was generally expressed that an accident of a serious nature had not before occurred . ] After the jury had been sometime in consultation the public were re-admitted , and informed by the coroner that the jurvaEd returned a verdict of " Accidental Death . " and * that they wished Mr . Reeves , ihe lessee of the theatre , would cause a rail to be erected in front of the gallery to prevent , for the future , similar accidents . Mr . Eeeves iras then sent . for , and nj > on being informed by the coroner of the recommendation of the jury , he said lie would attend to it . rsotwithstanding the accident ihe performances Trent on : the German dwarfs were as great as ever—a comic song was sung , and the farce of The Young Scamp concluded the -amusefic&iis of the night . This is the more repre lesdble , as the audience was very thin , and might have been dismissed without much trouble or
incon-. Ths 'W-evtht . h . rs Glasgow . — Faxll AcnuEXT . —The soft broken weather which prevailed for sorae days in the beginning of the week , gave pla *• on the night between' Thursday and Friday last to a keen white frost , which was so intense that in a vt-ry few hours the shaliowpools and lochs were entirely frozen over , and some of them were , in the course of the day , sumcientlv strong to permit the skater to enjoy his exhiiaratiag exercise . The irost has continued "with equal intensitv ever since ; the surface of the whole country is mantled with cranrench , and on Sunday , with * the exception of a rerj narrow watery lane , the Clvde was entirely frozen over between the Glasgow and Accommodation Bridges . Sunday
nighi the air was somewhat milder , trot snB there frcs Terr little abatement in the keenness of the frost . The most remarkable circumstances consequent upon this change of weather was the fog by which it was accompanied , and which exceeded in darkness and density anything of the kind which has ever been remembered inthisc-ity . It cameon on Friday , soonafterdaybreak , eoverinc " evervthingaswithaheavypalL People had literally to grope their way along the streets at midday ; in most of the shops and counting-houses artificial light was necessary during the entire day , and we have been informed by one " gent 2 eman—and no floubtmacy can tell the same tale—that , during thirty jears of a business life , he has no remembrance of a similar necessitv . The gaslamps , not more than one of
"ffhich could be seen at a time , presented the appearance of an indistinct glimmer of light seen at a vas distance - and altogether the aspect of the external Trorld on this mirk Friday was the gloomiest of wlnchwe have any remembrance . In addition to being opnressive to the breathing , the atmosphere had a most painful effect on the eyes ; and many persons experienced the same kind of annoyance which is felt -when passing from the open air into a shieling darkened with peat smoke . In the afternoon , gentlemen who reside in the suburbs , or a short -way . nio lie country , had , in many cases , to find their way home by the aid of torches or lanterns , and some of the coaches which left the city were preceded bv a man on horseback , bearing afire-Ban ' s torch , and even then they only moved an at a snail ' s t > ace . "We need scarcely add that the
© mnibus drivers , who usually career through the streets with such independence , were for once check mated . The business on the river was almost entirely suspended ; at least only one steamer arrived at the Broomielaw dnring the day , the Invincible , Captain M- 'KeHar . Captain Wyse , of the Londonderry , left Greenoek for Glasgow " at _ eight o ' clock on Friday monune , and arrived at his aestinationat eleven o ' clock on Saturday forenoon , an event-which Teminds one ofthe sedatesystem of voyaging in -rogue Taefore-the revolutionary times of Henry Bell , * 'when the " fly boats" -wereTront to lie all night at Bow-3 iEg , on their jiassage frail Glasgow to Greenoek . Several steamersjboth river and sea-going , left the Broomielaw , Isnt the majority either came to anchor or went aground between 1 ihe harbour and Renfrew ¦ wharf .

tariffing . The fog , which did not take off till two o ' clock on Saturday morning , was densest at about seven o ' clock on the preceding evening , when the gloom was perfectly hideous , and many people who had occasion to be abroad became quite be wildered in seeking their homes or places of business . Amongst several instances , we have heard of a lady who had l > een visiting at Monteith-row , and on her way homewards lost herself on the green , and , until assistance accidentally came , wandered about for hours as completely bewildered as though she had been roaming without guide or compass on an American prairie . The Clyde police , which were largely reinforced , and stationed along the quays , had quite enough to do toprevent people walking into theriver Indeed , one man stepped over the quay , at the lower ferry station , near Napier ' s dock ; but he was
immediately got out , without having suffered any other injury than that arising from the drenching . This , fortunately , is die only accident which we have heard of in this part of the town , but we lament to say that there has been loss of life in other quarters . About six o ' clock , as Alexander Buntine , master of the Christian , belonging to Dumbarton , was proceeding to Ms vessel , after having been in the city on business during the day , he unfortunately fell into the canal directly opposite the Track Boat station , near Port Dundas . immediately on its becoming- known , a vigorous search was made , and in a short period the body was recovered , but life was quite extinct . The deceased has left a widow and two ' children to lament his loss . He was long known
about the port as a most respectable and industrious man , and his death is much regretted . On the same evening , shortly af ter sbc o ' clock , as Robert Maitland and Colin Campbell , who were in the employment of Messrs . M . Macfarlane and Co ., distillers , Port Dundas , were leaving their work , they had not proceeded many yards from the distillery , when they fell into the canal , and were drowned . It appears that no one saw the accident at the time , and nothing was known of it till after inquiry was made at the distillery by Maitland ' s wife and two other persons "fithile searching along the canal bank at a late hour in the night , after the fog began to clear up , a bonnet was seen floating on the water , aad the drags being applied at the place , the bodies of the two unfortunate
men were brought up linked together , rather in a stooping posture , showing that they iad been cautiouslv walking together , endeavouring to , avoid the very danger into which they so suddenly felL Maitland has left a widow and two children . Colin -Campbell was unmarried . We have often heard complaints of the imperfect manner in which this locality is lighted , and earnestly noPe that this unfortunate occurrence may be the means of producing some amendment in this respect On the same evening , a labourer , named William Dorran , residing in William-street , Cowcaddens , when leaving his work , lost his way , and fell over the face oi the Cowcaddens Quarry , to a depth of between forty and fifty feet , from which he was taken up dangerousl \ hurt .
Horrible Accident . —Blaexavon . —On the 11 th instant Thomas l J ritehard , a mason , in the employ of Mr . C . H . Leigh , was working upon the roof of the forge called the Glynn , when by some mishap he lost his balance , and fell through the roof , directly upon theny-wheel , which turns round with a resistless -relotuty . The work of death was soon completed ; he was so mangled , crushed , and torn , that an endeavour to recognize him would have been vain , had not his dress been identified . The day after the funeral his jaw-bone was found . An inquest was held upon the body , and a verdict of—Accidental Iteath returned . The poor fellow has left a wife and two children . —Jlerefonl Time . ' .
Fatal Coal Pit Accidzxt . —A serious and fatal accident occurred at Blackboy Colliery , near Bishop Auckland , on Monday the 23 rd instant , by which twelve or fourteen men and boys were frightfully injured , one of whom has since died . The deceased ' s name was Thomas James . He has left a large family . It appears that a slight explosion took place some little time previously in the same part of the pit ; but as no person was injured , the superintendent , — the notorious Thomas Forster , of Haswell—took no notice of it , but permitted the men to work with naked candles up to the time of the accident , which has again i-esulted in death .
Fise at Lord HABKKOToys . —Considerable consternation was caused on Monday morning in the household of the Right Ron . the Earl of Harrington , in Whitehall-gardens , next door to the town residence of Sir R . Peel , by the discoyery of a fire , whieh it appears quite evident had been smouldering for a considerable time , and had broken out in the dressing-room of his lorship . on the second floor , immediately over the ball-room . About a quarter past fi-Fe " o ' clock the attention of one of the inmates was arrested by a crackling noise , attended by a strong smell of fire . Upon proceeding up stairs and making strict examination in the several lower rooms , it was at length discovered that the fire had oriainated underneath the hearth of the dressinc
room , passed along by the joists of the flooring , which at that time were all on fire , whence it proeeedeed to an elaboratelyfinished recess , most richly ornamented with cornices " of gold of a most beautiful design , and furnished with a rery handsome reclining couch magnificently adorned . These at the time of the discovery were burning rapidly , threatening the destruction of the whole mansion . An immediate attempt to extinguish the flames was made by the servants , but finding they were unable to do so , a messen ger was despatched to ' the Chandos-street station ofthe fire brigade , thence to Mr . Fogo , the foreman of the western station , and to the West of Eneland
establishment , engines from which speedily arrived- A plug in tne gardens was drawn , but the supply of water was very scanty , and buckets filled from the cisterns around the edifice were nsed with much effect in staying the progress of the flames . The fire was burning insolarge a body under the flooring , that it was found necessary to cut away the floor quite into the ball-room , a considerable portion of the ceiling of which is destroyed . In the dressing-room much damage is done . " The recess is nearly burned out , the couch is destroyed , a great number of classical figures , beaut ifuDy overlaid with gold , are broken , and a variety of articles of vertv are spoiled , as is much of the furniture and elaborate appointments .
Highway Robbxht os Blackheaui . —On Monday morning information was received by the police , that between ten and eleven o ' clock on the previous night -the foDowine daring highway robbery was committed on Blackheath . As Mr . Edward Hope was crossing the heath he was met by two men , who stopped him , and robbed him of £ . 20 in gold , and a blue cotton handkerchief , with which they made off before Mr . Hope's cries could bring assistance . ExrxxsiTx Fire at Letch . —Early on Saturday morning the premises belonging to the Leith Candle Company were discovered to be on fire . From ihe confined " situation of these works , it was with some difficulty that the town engines could be brought to bear on the conflagration ; and , from the inflammable nature of the materials , the work of destruction went speedily on—vats , coolers , and tallow warehouses were
soon in one general blaze . About two o ' clock the roof of the building fell in , whon the scene that opened up to the spectators was one of melancholy grandeur . Towering and untamed the lurid flames rose high in the air , contrasting beautifully with the wintry appearance of the scenery around . The Fort engines , which are at all times promptly turned out , had now arrived , and assisted eminently in confining the fire to wliei * it had originated , although the main safety of the adjoining property , consisting of wine jaulte and grain stores , was chiefly owing to the opening up of the fire-plugs , which are now pretty general over the town , and attaching lengths of hose , ¦ which , when available , offer the surest means of subduing flames . The Edinburgh engines were also upon the ground , but were not " required . About five o ' clock , the fire was got under ; and we understand the property is insured . — Edinburgh Journal .
Fiee is the Pestilential vesitestia&j . —On Monday evening , about half-past eleven , a fire broke out in the steward ' s room of the Millbank prison ; by the prompt and judicious measures of the Governor it was , however , got under and evtinguished before one o ' clock in the morning . - CorvrEBTirr Names a > t > Trade Marks . —A case of some novelty was recently tried in the Circuit Court of the United States . A person named Daniel Carpenter had , for some time past , manufactured and sold a certain description of cotton thread , which was marked as , and represented to be , the " Persian thread" manufactured at Leicester , in this country .
The article manufactured by Messrs . T . and W . Taylor , of the town just mentioned , is of a very superior quality ; that of the defendant was not only interior , but deficient in quantity , so that the reputation and business of Messrs . Taylor had suffered injury . One of the pleas set up by the defendant was , that he was not accountableto an alien and foreigner for using in America the trade marks of such alien . The proceedings have been greatly protracted , but now the case was fully submitted for judgment . The court granted to the complainants a perpetual injunction against the defendants , with costs . The result of the judgment is to show that in the United-States foreigners are fullv protected against this species of injury .
Miss Claba Websteb . —Unfortunately , the death . of tliisi accomplished dancer has not been the only one attendant upon the late sad accident at Drury-lane Theatre . A nurse of the name of Hudd , supplied on the urgency of the case from the Middlesex Hospital to attend upon Miss Webster , fell down the stairs , and upon being conveved back to the hospital was found to have sustained a serious firaeture of the knee . She is now lying in the accident ward , whilst a sickly husband and * three young children are deprived of the support they obtained from her labour .
Dbeadfcl Fire xeab RrssEu . Squabb , asd Loss of Ljpe . This morning ( Saturday ) the neighbourhood of Russell-square , Bloomsbury , " was visited bj the outbreak of a most ; alarming fire , which was attended with a lamentable sacrifice of human life . The premises in which the unfortunate accident occurred was the residence of Mr . Farey , civil engineer , and Bituated on the north side of Guilford-street ( No . 67 ) , nearly opposite Queen-square , consisting of a large dweUing-house , four stories high , and of great depth . The alarm , from ail accounts , appears to have been

raised by Mr . Fairlie himselT ;—some say the police discovered it . Be this as it may , the fire was found raging by both in the back parlour . It was so sudden , however , that the domestics , four female servants and two boys ( one of the latter said to have perished ) , had scarcely time to descend from ^ their separate apartments ere the fire communicated to the staircase , up which it ran with fearful rapidity , extending itself within an incredibly short period ^ over the entire building . The poor females were in a most pitiable condition , not having time to dress themselves ; some were to be observed running into the open street with nothing on but their night clothes , and amid the confusion they remained exposed to the inclemency of the weather , and a strong easterly gale of wind , until taken in shelter by some of the ^ adjacent inhabitants . The
firemen on duty were called out by the light in the heavens , which was very great , and could be seen from every part of the metropolis . Directly the firemen came up , Mr . Farey drew their attention to a large quantity of property " that was in the back part of thepremises ; but to preserve it , or any portion at that stage of the fire was beyond ail possibility , for the flames had then complete possession of afi the apartments , as well as ihe floors in the upper part of the building , and was then blazing forth from the roof and windows with prodigious violence , producing the utmost consternation in the neighbourhood , more particularly at the back of the burning building , which abutted in tiuildford-mews , or what is termed the Colonnade , where a large number of poor families reside . Shortly after the engines had got to work the floors and roof gave way , and fell to the
basement with a tremendous crash . From an immense body of sparks and flaming fragments that were instantly shot into the air , it was at first imagined that some explosion had occurred , and naturally increased the excitement ; but this in some measure greatly deadened the fury of the fire , and the firemen jenewing their efforts with increased vigour , it was subsequently speedily extinguished . The loss and the destruction of the premises and their contents is roughly calculated at about £ 7 , 000 . Both houses adjoining have sustained damage both bv fire and water .
Further Particulars . —As soon as the ruins were sumcientlv cool to admit the firemen , a number of the brigade went over different portions of the premises , to endeavour to ascertain the amount of property consumed . Whilst they were examining the parlour , their attention was directed to the lower floor by hearing a strange moaning noise . At first they supposed it arose from a cat or other animal that had been unable to escape . Having satisfied themselves that the page , who was at first missing , had been found , and that the main of the residents of the house were safe , they proceeded with their work of examining the walls , " Ac . When they entered the front kitchen , anawfulscenepresenteditself . Near the door was observed , in the midst of a pile of partlyconsumed timbers , a police-constable , alive , but unable to extricate hiinself . The men endeavoured to remove the mass of rubbish that kept him prisoner , but they were unable , on account of its great weight .
A massive beam was lying across his legs , and another was pressing on his chest . Messengers were despatched throughout the neighbourhood for the loan of some screw-jacks . After some loss of time one was procured , and , by the united exertions of several firemen , the poor fellow was got out , but not before he had breathed his last . He was placed on a stretcher , and carried to St . Giles ' s workhouse . His name is Burkmyre , and his numbrr 152 E division . Upon calling the roll at the station-house , another officer was found to be absent . Search was made for him , but he was not to be found . This circunistant-e was promptly communicated to the firemen , and they immediately set about searching the ruins to see if they couldfind the missing man . Up to half-past nine o ' clock they had been unsuccessful in their labours . His name was Wright , No . 128 , ofthe same division , and he was always considered a very courageous officer .
Additional Particulars . —Further Loss op Life . —As soon as the excitement had in some measure subsided , and upon Mr . Farey calling together his family and domestics , it was ascertained that two of the latter , a boy and a man , were missing , and from subsequent inquiries not the least doubt remains but that they both perished in the flames . It appears that at the time of the outbreak there were sleeping upon the premises Mr . Farey , his wife , son , two lads , and three female domestics . Aa soon as the inmates became aware ofthe great danger to which they were exposed , they ran out , and got upon the landing , and were immediately met bv a huge sheet of flame , rushing up the stairs ; what to do they hardly knew , but in their extremity they
made for tho roof of the building , on to which they got and were about to escape to the adjoining premises , when they found that the under waiter , a lad about fourteen , of the name of Roberson , was missing . Mr . Edward Farey instantly returned to the lad ' s bed-chamber , knocked violently at the door , and called to him several times , but ' without being able to awake him . The smoke by this time was so great , and the heat of the flames beneath him so intense , that he was forced to retreat . As soon , however , as he had sufficiently recovered from the effects of the smoke , he returnred again , and began breaking the glass in the window , but without having the desired effect . To save his own life Mr . C . Farey was at last forced to make a precipitate retreat . The other poor fellow who perished was named Charles
Jenkins ; he was a groom in the service of Mr . Farey and did not sleep upon the premises , but lodged at the Guildford Arms Tavern , hard by . He was awoke by the cry of fire , and on hastening to the spot , found his master's property in a Maze . He rushec into the burning premises several times , and was instrumental in saving several articles . Knowing that a favourite bird was in the house , he told the coachman that he would go in and get it , and rushed forth into the burning building . Whether he was met by the fire , or became overpowered with the smoke is unknown ; one thing , however , is certain , that he never came out again . Throughout the day vast crowds of persons assembled in the neighbourhood , and it required the united exertions of the police to keep them out of the reach of danger .
Alarming Fiaxs . —Between one and two o ' clock on Friday morning a fire broke out in the parlour ofthe Devonshire Arms , Devonshire-street , Mile-end-road , in the occupation of Mr . Giles , licensed victualler . Flames were first perceived issuing from the top of the ground-floor windows bv the constable upon the beat , who at once proceeded to alarm the family . At that instant cries were heard from the room immediately above the parlour , where the mother of the landlord , who had been bedridden for several months , was sleeping . Without delay a ladder was procured , as there was no possibility of escape bv the staircase , which was on fire from the top to the bottom , and the poor old creature , almost dead from fright , was taken out by the window .

fireengines , along with the West of England and River Trust fire-brigade , the flames were kept in check from about half-past six o ' clock in the evening until half-past three on Wednesday morning , when they broke out with great fury through the after-hatchway , where a considerable stock of rum was stowed , and continued for some time to blaze without any prospect of abatement . The fire brigade did their utmost with the means at their disposal , to extinguish the flames , and continued to pour water into the hold for about eight hours , from six branch pipes , so that on jthe return of the tide the quantity of water furnished by the engines filled the ship entirely within about two feet o ? the deck .

Mrs . Ellen Johnson , of Archer-street , St . James ' s , said that the deceased was her husband ' s mother . On Tuesday afternoon , between three and four o clock , witness called upon her sister-in-law , Ellen Clark , in Angel-alley , Windmill-street , who asked witness to tell tne deceased she wished to see her . Witness did as requested , and shor tly afterwards returned with her mother-in-law ( the deceased ) . When she returned she found James Clark , a
Doliceconstable of the C division , and son-in-law of the deceased , present . ^ . The wife of the constable related to the deceased that she and her husband had had a quarrel about family matters . Further words ensued , and Clark told the deceased to leave the room , and threatened to turn her out if she did not . She refused to go , and he ( Clark ) got up and pushed the deceased dut , and closed the door upon her . n hether or not she fell down witness was unable to tell with certainty . Deceased and Clark afterward became reconciled to each other , and she partook of some brandy and tea , provided by Clark . She returned to her residence , and went
to bed . The following morning witness called upon the deceased , and found her still in bed , Insensible . A surgeon was sent for , but deceased continued in the same state until ei ght o ' clock the same evening , when she died . Mr . Charles Lenton , surgeon , said that he was sent for on Wednesday morning to attend deceased . He found her in bed , and she appeared to be suffering from soreness of the left side of the head , lie bled her , and applied leeches , but she died on Wednesday afternoon . There was no wound or contusion on the head . The cause of death was congestion of the brain . The jury , after consulting , returned a verdict of—Death from congestion of the brain , produced by excitement .
Attack by PoAcnuRs . —Worcester , Friday Evening . —A most desperate attack was made this niorning , between twelve and one o ' clock , by a body of armed poachers , to the number of at least twenty , upon five night-Watchers upon the preserves of the Earl of Coventry , at Croome . The keepers were watching a portion of the presences , when they were suddenly suntnihded by a gang of some twenty poachers , armed with guns and sticks , and having with them a -number of snares for taking game .
The keepers fled , and were immediately tired upon by the gang , n who wounded one or two of them , though not seriously , the shots striking them in the face , and knocking off tlieir hats , which were perforated with the shot . One poor fellow , however , did not succeed in escaping without receiving such injuries as ; it is thought , will bring him to an untimely grave . Not being able to make his escape with his fellow-watchers , the gang set upon him and beat him about the head in a most inhuman and barbaroes manner , leaving him senseless on the ground .
Bodies Found at Greenocb .. — On Wednesday afternoon , the dead body of a man was found on the bank opposite this town by some fishermen who were trouling for flounders . The body had evidently been a considerable time in the water , as the whole flesh of the face had disappeared . On the corpse was a light drab coat , broad at the tail , with plain yellow buttons , grev vest , dark brown trousers , black brochella stock , striped shirt , with a white linen " dicky" over it , white plaiding drawers , with striped head-band , shor t boots , with a black horn button at the top . —On Tuesday last , the dead body of a female child was discovered on the edge of the highway between Greenoek and Port Glasgow , and about 500 yards wst of Devols Glen Bridge . The child seemed to be between nine and twelve months old , and had apparently been healthy . It was but partially clothed .
and was discovered concealed under a heap of earth cast up from the ditch . The body has been examined by surgeons under a remit from the sheriff , and we understand that death is supposed to have been oc ^ casioned by suffocation , but there are no external marks of injuiy . Diligent iuquiry has been made among the low lodging houses , to trace , if possible , the parent of the child . —Late on Monday night a woman , apparently between fifty and sixty years of age , was found drowned at the Ropework Quay . She seemed to have been but a short tune in the water . She had on false ringlets , a net cap , woollen tartan shawl , and three gold rings , two of which are very thin . She was removed to the dead-house of the Infirmary , where she was recognised to be Mrs . Kcrr , a widow residing in Hamilton-street . — Greenoek Advertiier .
Shocking Occurrence ^ t Asjifori > . —The quiet village of Ashford , a short distance from Staines , has been the scene of a shocking affair , which has created very great sensation in the neighbourhood . So far as the facts have been ascertained , it appears that a man named William Oliver , aad his wife and family , consisting of several children , occupied a miserable cottage by the road side , near Ashford , for some time past . The woman was in the habit of vending lucifer matches , and the children were Bent out to beg , these being the only means by which the family could eke out a subsistence . The family : had been in great distress , and were receiving relief from the parish of Isleworth . On Tuesday niorning William Oliver , one of tho sons , came to a neighbour ' s house , in a state of alarm , and said that his father and mother were very ill , and the person to whom he applied
immediately went for Mr . Richardson , the overseer , and accompanied him to the miserable hut occupied by the family , where a dreadful $ ccne presented itself—the woman lying upon the bed quite dead , and her husband , in the agonies of death , by her side . A messenger was immediately dispatched for Mr . Curtis , the medical officer of the uniou , and he soon attended , and did all that was possible to alleviate the sufferings of the man , but without avail , as he expired almost immediately . The wife was undressed , and lying nearly on lier face in bed . The room presented an appearance of the most wretched poverty ; all the covering for the wretched parents and their children was a few rags ;; there was not a chair in the apartment , and the only article in . the room was an old saucepan that had apparently contained coke to warm the room . The actual cause of
this double death at present remains in . mystery , but it is believed to fro from the effect of poison . The constable who was called in found a piece of paper , which [ contained some white powder , believed to be arsenic , ' which has been taken away for medical examination , but the result has not yet transpired On a further- search the constable found one penny and a small quantity of bread and bacon , which the little boy ( William ) says his father wished him to eat in the night , and awoke him for that purpose , but he would not do so . There is some : reason to believe that there was an intention on the part of one or other of the unhappy deceased persons to destroy the whole family ; for another child ( Eliza ) had evidently partaken of some noxious ingredient ,- as she was very ill when the surgeon was called in , and exhibited all the appearance of having taken poison , although she is now out of danger , and , with liter brother , in the union-house , under the care of the parochial authorities .
The Poaching Afpray at Croome . —Death of Oxe of the Keepers . —Worcester , Tuesday Eve . ving . —The unfortunate gamekeeper , Thomas Stake , who was go inhumanly beaten by poachers at Croome on . the morning of the 2 lst hist ., has died from the injuries received . After the operation of trepanning , which was performed with great skill on Saturday , the poor fellow lingered in a hopeless condition until ten o ' clock this morning ( Tuesday ) , when -death put an end to his sufferings , to which it was supposed , however , he could not have be » n acutely sensible , the unfortunate 'man's brain having received considerable injury . The rumour that one of the poachers had been captured proves correct . His name is Joseph Turvey ; he is a native of Pershore , iu which town it is thought a large portion of the gang reside .
Shocking Death of a Mother axd Son . —York . — On Friday evening great excitement was created in Walmgate , in this city , in consequence of the awf ' idly sudden death of two persons , a mother and her sonthe son , as it was reported , from laudanum having been admininstered to him by a man named Charles Eiumerson , and the mother , from the shock her system experienced on learning the painful intelligence .

were holden on the bodies , trhen the evidence of the medical gentlemen who hail made a post mortem examination of the body oft the male deceased , shewed that there was no foundation for the suspicion that the deceased had been poisoned . On the contrary , death had evidently resulted from a hurt of the head , accelerated in all probability bv excessive drunkenness . In the case of the male deceased the jury returned the following verdict : —That . the deceased ' s death was occasioned by an injury of the head , but how caused does not appear in evidence . Aiid the jury wish to express > their approval of the exertions of the city police , and desire to direct their
particular attention to the conduct of the landlord of theClock public-house and the company frequenting it . At the inquest held on the body of the unfortunate mother tho jury returned a verdict of—Died from the effect of excessive grief and tlie shock occasioned by the melancholy death of her son , John Coultate . — Emmerson was present during jthe greater part ofthe inquest . He stated that on Friday he had bought a pennyworth of laudanum at Mr . Agar ' s for the purpose of applying it to his leg , which he had sprained , > ut he denied having taken any laudanum into the Clock public-house . On Tuesday evening Enimerson was taken before a magistrate , land discharged .

The next moment he fell forward with his right arm undergone of the wheels ; the train was stopped with greatl promptitude , but not before his arm was almost severed from his body . He was immediately conveyed to the accident ward of
Guy ' s Hospital , where it was found necessary to amputate the limb just above the ! elbow joint . Tlie operation was successfully performed by Messrs . Cafloway and Gole , the house surgeons , who were assisted by several of the principal medical gentlemen connected with the hospital . i Coal-pit Explosion . —Radcuffe , Dec . 26 . —This morning , about seven o clock , an explosion of firedamp occurred in the coal mine belonging to Mr .

EDINBURGH . National Organuation . — ¦ -W e have been induced to take up , in good earnest , tlie National Movement in Edinburgh . We had long seen that a National Organization was far more preferable for the attainment o our purpose than local and sectional movements couldf ever be . But an unwillingness , or perhaps prejudice , in the minds of many ofc our Scottish brethren , at the idea of being only auxiliaries , instead of leaders , made them stand aloof . iBe that as it may , our ranks are now exhibiting a more healthy appearance . Mr . Clark ' s tour amongst us has done wonders ; though much yet is required to be done ere the masses can be roused to a sense of their misery and degradation . The most chilling , the nipst heartrending view that meets our sight , is on a Saturday night , when we leave our ( deliberation , straitened in our means of advancing jthe regeneration of the people , and behold hundreds issuing from the potnouses in a state degrading to themselves , and
revolting-to humanity ; and some of them can talkloutl and long , and to the purpose too , on the misery and destitution that surround them , yet will they neither assist with their countenance , nor a trifle of their hard-earned wages , to better their own and others condition . But we still are determined to battle with all that are opposed to us , yntil we attain the object for which we are united ;] namely , the principle of our Charter to be made the law of the land . The Chartists of Edinburgh held a meeting in the Painters ' -liall , Carubber ' s-elose } High-street , on Wednesday , the 18 th , and there aiid then nominated a number of their members to actias a part ofthe General Council of tlie Chartist body ; and the Council will meet in the hall as aforesaid , every Tuesday and Saturday evening , at half-past eight o ' clock , for the transaction ot" business , and for the enrolment of those , as n .
