FiRE-DAiir Exriosiox is Wales . ~~ ^ ° 0 F TiresTr-sisE Lites . —An explosion of fire-damp , by vhich twenty-nine human beings lost their lives , took place on Saturday last , at a colliery belonging to Mr . Thomas Powell , situated at Cronibach , about three miles distant from the village of Aberdarc , and six from Merthyr Tydvil . About eleven o ' clock a loud report attended with a -violent concussion of the earth was heard , which caused the people of the neig hbouring houses to direct their attentiou towards thepit , aud in a very short time the awful fact be came known that an explosion of fire-damp had occurred . The consternation which ensued may be more easily imagined than described , when it ia known that there were in the pit at the time from
one hundred and fifty to two hundred human beings , men and boys , and tueawful uncertainty that existed , how many , if any , were alive . Language cannot describe the mournful scene . The wailing of women and the crying of children as they ran towards the pit ' s mouth seeking their relatives were sufficient to unnerve the stoutest heart , and melt the most stoical spirit . In one face you might see the fearfully anxious look changed into one of gladness as the husband , son , or brother , came up alive . In another ftce " hope fled , " and settled despair , when one after another came up , and the expected one still behind . 1 never had it fallen to my lot to witness a more awful lesson . Surely legislation ought to step in , and endeavour to give security to human life , by the
appointment of competent persons—men whose scientific acquirements would be at least a guarantee that nothing which science could do had been left undone towards the security of human life . The air in the pit , after the explosion , -was so noxious , that it was a considerable time ere any person could venture to seek for the missing men . But such is the devotion , such the spirit and courage of these poor working colliers , that they were to be seen going into the pit without the least hesitation to seek their missing fellow-workmen . The risk which they incurred may be imagined from many of them having fainted when proceeding towards the workings ; yet others were pushing on and working , undauntedly , hoping to find some one alive and in need of assistance . It is not exactly known how the accident happened . It is
said the Davy lamp was constantly used to try the air , but the pit has always been in bad repute on account of its deficient ventilation . No accident in this part of the country has ever been attended with the loss of so much human life , and the effect , consequently , is an unusual gloom over the whole neighbourhood . There were also two or three horses killed , and the damage done to the works is very great . Another correspondentstates that the number killed is twenty-eight . The same correspondent states that the number of Miners in the pit at the tune of the explosion was only about thirty , the rest being engaged at a club-feast . But for this , the probability is , that this explosion would have caused a secodd llastrell slaughter of ninety or a hundred human beings .
Is « cest os theBodies . —Aberdare , nearMerthvr Tydvil , Tuesday . —The coroner for the upper division of the county of Glamorgan , William Davies , Esq ., solicitor , Merthyr Tydvil , having fixed yesterday for the inquest , very many of the most respectable inhabitants of the place and its neighbourhood , and also a good many workmen , met at the Boot Inn , in the Tillage of Aberdare , where the inquest had been appointed to take place . The jury , having been sworn , proMcdedtoexecutethemelancholytaskofviewingthe bodies , and as the places at which they lived
embraced a circuit of some miles the inspection occupied a considerable time . Many of the bodies presented a shocking spectacle . Two or three seemed as if they had been literally roasted , whilst others were but slightly scorched , and at the same time the fcnriscs were inconsiderable . By the time that the inspection was over the intelligence was brought that the whole of the bodies had been recovered from the pit ; three or four had been found in the morning and the rest in the evening . Where these serious colliery accidents have happened here before some of the bodies hare been irrecoverable for a considerable
time , arising from the foulness of the air , or the falls of rubbish . The little village , situated as it is so beautifully , was yesterday a scene of universal lamentation . At one time six funerals were to be seen proceeding towards the church in succession , whilst several others were in the churchyard . The concourse of people was very great ; and whilst contemplating the sad scene , the humble church and churchyard , with its venerable yews , where " the rude forefathers of the hamlet sleep , " and listening to the impressive burial service , I thought within myself , that never were words more applicable than those of the Psalmist , " Dust thou art , and unto dust shalt thon return . " The jury having re-assembled hi the inquest-room , it was deemed advisable
from the lateness of the hour , the number of witnesses to be examined , and in all probability the protracted nature of the inqury , to adjourn the inquest until eleven o ' clock today . The following are the names and ages of the sufferers : —David Jenkins , single man , aged 37 ; Richard Morris , ditto , aged 30 ; Howel Williams , ditto , aged 28 , and Rees Williams , ditto , aged 24 , brothers ; Joseph Philips , ditto , aged 15 ; Thomas Evans , married , aged 35 ; Evan Lewis , single , aged 19 ; George Thomas , ditto , aged 33 ; "Wffliam Williams , married , aged 34 ; David Jones , ditto , aged 31 ; David Jones , single , aged 32 ; James James , ditto , aged 23 ; Howel David , ditto , aged 20 ; John Jones , ditto , aged 19 ; David Morgan , ditto , aged 21 ; Thomas Smith , ditto , aged 10 ; Jehn Edwards , married , aged 35 , and William Edwards aged 9 , father and son ; James Thomas , widower ,
aged 44 , and David Thomas , aged 10 , father and sen ; "VViUiaui Llewelyn , single , aged 19 ; William Evans , ditto , aged 30 ; Thomas Davies , widower , aged 78 ; Evan Thomas , single , aged It ; John Jones , ditto , . aged 17 : John Evans , married , aged 32 , and David Evans , aged 9 , father and son ; Nicholas Evans , a ¦ compound fracture of the thigh , a fracture of the arm and a portion of the jaw-bone , and several teeth broken—not expected to five . Another Faml Coal Pit Accident . —Another correspondent , writing on the above awful calamity , sends us the following notice of another coal pit accident : —Another man was killed in a pit belonging to tbc Cyfarthfa iron works ; he was to have been a mourner in the funeral of one of the above twentynine , aud sent his son instead . A stone fell from the top of the pit on him , and killed Mm on the Spot .
Craw Mcrdee at Winds ob . —On Monday afternoon an inquest was held in the borough gaol . Windsor , before Thomas Marlin , Esq ., coroner , and a highly respectable jury , on the body of a new-born male infant , which was found dead in the privy attached to the residence of Air . Charles Alder , in Spring-gardens , on Friday last . The servant of Mr . Alder , a youuggirl named Susan Douglas , between twenty aud twenty-one yeais of age , who had given birth to the infant , was in custody of the gaoler , but too ill from the weak state she was in to be present during the inquiry , which lasted nearly five hours , -and created tue greatest interest . After hearing a
good deal of evidence ( not adapted to publication ) , tiie jury remained in deliberation for upwards of an hour , and then returned a verdict of "Wilful murder" against Susan Doughs . The prisoner will be removed to the county gaol at Reading , to take her trial at the next Berkshire assizes , as soon as she is in a fit state to undertake the journey . The girl , who is a native of Wokingham , states the father of the iufant to be an old man , named Day , who died at Windsor , where he was well known , about three weeks since , at the advanced age of between seventy and eig hty years .
Captures of Shyers . —By a letter received from the Mutine , one of the new experimental 12-gun brigs , commanded by Commander J . B . Crawford , we learn the following particulars of her success among the slavers . The letter is dated Mozambique , Mav fc , 1845 : —It appears that , on the 26 th of April , the Mutine was desirous of overhauling a suspiciouslooking , very large , and fast-sailing vessel , that soon proved her slave-dealing character by running away . iVUilst in full chase after this Tesel , which had previously been chased by several other cruisers , and had escaped capture by her superior sailing , the Mutine grounded on the bar of Quillimane river ; upon seeing which the crew of the slaver gave three cheers , but , nevertheless , endeavoured to increase
her distance from the Mutine as much as possible . The Mutine ' s crew returned three cheers of defiance , and then the gallant fellows set to work to get their vessel from her dangerous position . Every man worked with hearty good will , and Captain Crawford , a very activeand enterprising officer , witnessed , with great satisfaction , after nearly two hours ' exertions , his brig fairly forced over the bar . Expressing his ¦ Warm approbation at the zeal and energy of evtry loan and officer on board , by which alone tue vessel was rescued from the perilous situation she occupied so long during an ebbing tide , as soon as she was afloat he ordered the main brace to be spliced , and at the same time all sail to be instantly packed on in pursuit of the slaver . The Mutine now displayed her sailing qualities , and made up for lost tune . Gaiuing ou the chase every minute , she ^ as alongside the notorious Brazilian slaver the Princeza Imperial in the course of seven hours .
one endeavoured to detach the Mutine from pursuing her by hoisting the stripes and stars of the Unite . ! States ; aud , assuming the appearance of an America whaler , she was well calculated to deceive one Dot thoroughly convinced of her character . The Fnze was upwards of 400 tons burden ; she had oiade three successful consecutive trips to Santos in tue Brazils , and had carried altogether 2400 slaves , oy this lucrative trade realising good fortunes for her owners . When captured she was quite ready for the reception of 800 or 900 slaves . The Princeza was given in charge of Lieut , the Hon . T . A . Pakenhaui , under whose command she sailed to Sierra Leonefor adjudication . Since capturing the Princeza the boats of the Mutine , under the orders of Lieut . i George Men ^ s and Lieut , the Hon . Frederick Cia-& > a , oa tue GtU instant , off Madagascar , after a very s : iirile > l aud well-inananed c-liase , captured an Arali shv .-r witi , ogj ji ]; , o ; , ward . The Arabs . tliwi ! : ii

desperate men and well armed , jumped overboard at tne moment their vessel was boarded . The Arab to » 1 was not in a fit State to undertake a voyage to the Gape of Good Hope at this tempestuous season , and was therelore destroyed . The Mutine sailed witu her cargo , mustering nearly 400 , including crew and supernumeraries . She may be considered a lucky cratt , notwithstanding her mishap at the commencement . The Helena , ]« , Commander Sir u Kicketts , Bart ., having captured a small Arab vessel , with eighty slaves , was under the necessity of ot conveying them to the Cape of Good Hope- ' the captured vessel not being equal to thevovage , was destroyed .

D £ ath from Eatin g Musiirooms . —On Saturday an inquest was held at the White Hart Inn , in Ipswich , te inquire into the circumstances connected With the deuUi of Mr . John Carr , boot and shoe maker , St . Lawrence-street . G . Bullen , Esq ., surgeon , said—1 was called in at seven o ' clock on Friday evening , the deceased having been taken suddenly ill in his shop ; I went instantly , and found him in the shop sitting in a chair , quite insensible and very pale . Ihe pupils of the eyes were very much contracted ; puke unusually slow and feeble . JUc had been sick before I arrived , and I observed some dark substance projecting from the side of his lip which his wife removed with her finger . 1 found this substance a large piece of the common edible
mushroom-not the poisonous mushroom—and the cause of his illness was at once apparent to me-viz ., that of being poisoned b y mushrooms , lie had vonuted pieces of mushrooms several times before . LA large portion was here shown which was token from deceased ' s mouth ] . Deceased had no teeth . Illness occurred five hours after he had eaten the mushrooms . I ordeied him to bed , and « avchim a strong emetic . I remained some time with him indeed , from seven o ' clock till midnight . After that time he became worse , and at two o ' clock he expired The wife of one of his men had brought four mushrooms to Mr . Carr , as a present—two of them were grilled ( not stewed or boiled ) for dinner : one of them was a very large one , very black underneath , and , in
fact , only fit for making catsup . The whole of this large one was eaten by deceased , and part of the smaller one also . The son partook of a part of the smaller one . It was a real mush room ; but it should be understood that all fungus matter is really poisouous at some parts of their growth . By grilling the mushrooms the poisonous matter remained in them , and having no teeth he swallowed it without masticating it . There was no odour nor anything else indicating his having taken any fermented or spirituous liquors . He was perfectly narcotised for hours . Mushrooms are of a narcotic and acrid nature . Deceased was perfectly senseless and powerless from the moment he was taken ill . There were no symptoms of apoplexy ; in fact , they were the very reverse . His pulse was about 56 ,- and showed that
he was under the influence ot some strong poison . It wa 3 extremely important that the public should take this as a warning in the use of mushrooms ; they were at all times indigestible , but they should never be taken when the underneath part is black , but only when they arc of a light colour . In this case the stomach-pump would have been useless , as no tube would have carried off the large pieces of mushroom on his stomach y The Jury returned a verdict of Died from poisoning occasioned by eating mushrooms . Moiideb os the Hioh Seas . —On Wednesday week the Admiralty commission was opened at Galway , when Michael Iloban was indicted for having , on the 18 th of July last , on the high seas , within the jurisdiction of Ireland , and within four miles of
Duras on the Galway coast , murdurcd Mark Faherty by throwing him into ths sea , by which he was drowned . A second count charged him with the murder of the deceased by striking him on the head with a stick ; a third by stabbing him with a knife . Mr . Baker , Q . C ., in stating the case , observed that the crime was committed during the passage of a turf-boat from Corraroe to Kinsar . There were only the prisoner and the deceased in the boat together , aud the evidence to be ottered was purely circumstantial . The evening before the murder the prisoner complained of the conduct of the deceased , who , he said , cheated him in the partnership concern of the boat , and expressed his intention to quarrel with him and punish him . When the prisoner arrived ac his destination , he stated that
the deceased fell overboard ; and in about a fortnight after his body was found in the bay , bearing marks of violence , evidently inflicted during his lifetime . There were four cuts on the head , a hole in the throat , and several teeth knocked out . There was blood on the breast and collar of the shirt on the body . After the examination of a number of witnesses the commissioners retired to deliberate , and in half an hour returned a verdict of Guilty . Mr Justice Jackson proceeded to pass sentence of death on the prisoner , who knelt down and said , " I throw my life and soul in your hands , my lord—I trust to your mercy . When he was leaving the boat , he was to me as well as ever . " His lordship told the prisonei it was useless to speak in that strain , as there was no doubt of his guilt . Sentence of execution , on the 30 th of August , was then passed .
Singular Suicide . —On Monday evening Mr . Wakley held an inquest at the Albion , Battle-bridge , on the body of Charles Richardson , aged 55 . From the evidence it appeared that the deceased , who had been formerly a gentleman ' s coachman , and lately ostler in tire mews , Hastings-street , Burton-crescent , complained within the past week of his life being a burden to himself and his friends , and expressed a desire to get rid of it . On Saturday morning he repeated the complaint , and also his anxiety to get rid of his troubles by death . Shortly afterwards he handed the keyset ' the stable he had charge of . and
also 12 s . to pay for corn , to a neighbour . He then deliberately walked to the Regent ' s Canal , adjoining Battle-bridge , _ into which , with his clothes and tap on he flung himself , and , swimming to the centie , clasped his head with both hands and drowned himself , though there were several persons on the bank at the time . Drags were instantly procured , and he was taken out , but not before life was extinct . He bore an excellent character for integrity , industry , and sobriety . Verdict , " Deceased destroyed himself , but there was no evidence of his state of mind at the time that he did so . "
Tiie Wreck of the Jonx Hexbiuck , Duicn East Ixdiamajt . —We are happy to state that the eleven iaea left by Gaptaia R . W . Heeklebnry , of the Dutch Eastlndiaraan , the John Hendrick , on the 30 th of May last , upon a rock near the Line , as was reported some time ago , were rescued from their frightful situation , after having been on the rock fifteen days , by Captain Snell , of the merchant-ship Eliza , of Liverpool , and have arrived in London . It will be recollected that , upon the captain , with seven of the crew being taken off , the vessel , on board of which they were received , was for several days prevented , by a violent storm and adverse winds , from making head toward the rock , and was earned some hundreds of miles away from it , when , it being
supposed by the captain that the poor fellows would have been starved to death , as there appeared to be no means of obtaining food , they were left to their fate . Fortunately , however , after enduring the most dreadful sufferings and privations , the Eliza hove in sight , and prevented that calamity which was looked for by the captain of the John Hendrick . The following account has been given by P . L . Zeeman , the second mate of the John Hendrick , one who was left on the rock , of thedreadful visitation of his companions , one » f whom was the surgeon of the vessel . It was expected that after the captain had left , every effort would be made to return and take them off ; but when it was found that the wind was so long in a direction that would carry the vessel away from them ,
they took steps , under the direction of the surgeon , to provide for extremities . The rock was discovered to be about half a mile in circumference , and upon making a survey of it there was found to be a plentiful supply of fowl , but no fresh water was anywhere to be met with . The only meat they had was " a little pork ; with this they made bait , and attached to nails , which wire made in the form of hooks , and by them caught fish , which abounded there . They killed the fowls , a sort of duck , during the night , and in the day time gathered their eggs . There was a description of crabs upon the rock , the legs of which were serviceable in quenching their thirst . For some days they were able to cook their food by burning pieces ol the wreck of the vessel till that was exhausted , and
by pounding the charcoal and mixing this with the sea water they thought they should be able to deprive it of its saline properties ; but in this they were unsuccessful . During the day , between eleven and three o ' clock , on account of the extreme heat , they waded into the sea . In this situation they continued for eight days , whennearly the whole of them wereseized with a swelling of the lips and tongue and a vertigo , that for two days rendered them almost insensible . This arose from the want of water . The surgeon for some days previous had been in thut situation . Oh the tenth day they were visited with occasional shewers of rain , to collect which the sail they had was expanded , a hole made in the centre , and . a cask placed . underneath in which the rain water was collected . . This , which was very sparingly distributed , assisted to restore the strength of all . In this state they remained till the loth of June , when the Eliza , Captain Snell , bolonsingto Liverpool , and trading te
Sydney , hove in sight . A flag was waved which was happily observed by seme of tiie Eliza ' s crew , upon whicktwo boats were lowered and the whole were taken off . They -were most kindly treated by the captain ; but for ten days they endured the greatest bodily sufferings , several of them not being expected to recover . Shortly after being on board , as the captain expected to bo short of water , upon the Lenten , ' Captain Gelman , from Bombay to Liverpool , appearing in sight , five of the men were put on board that vessel . The Lenters reached Liverpool last Fridav , when the men brought by her proceeded to the residence of the Dutch Consul , ' who , upon beiugmadc acquainted by them that they belonged to the John Hendrick , and were the men abandoned upon the rock , gave them immediate assistance . He provided each man with a jacket , a pair of shoes , and a pair of stockings . He also paid their passage up to London , : iik 1 jj . ive them a letter of introduction to the Dsilcii Consul in London . The men are now Joskin "

< Ihe Game Laws . —At the petty sessions at Buckingham , on Saturday last , William White , a decent and venerable-looking ' oldjuian , of , 'Prest on Bissett , was charged before the Rev . Messrs . Eyve , Andrews and Bayncs , the magistrates present , by George Bridget , one of the Duke of Buckingham ' s gamekeepers , with having used a dog for the destruction of game . It appeared that the defendant obtains a scanty living by rat-catching ; that when on the pubic road leading ironi Hillesden to Three Bridge Mill , accompanied by three dogs , ; t \ voof them tied together and the other loose , the latter doe went into
tuediteliand brought out and killed " a leveret as big as a kitten . " White acknowledged this , and strongly expressed his regret at being before "the gentlemen . " He said that he had caught vats for lorty years , and never was up before the justices before ; that he had a wife and five children , and had a difhcult matter to get bread for them in an honest way . He put in for the inspection of the magistrates a written testimonial of good character . It was numerously and respectably si gned . The magistrates orderedhim to pay 18 s ., and in default fourteen days ' imprisonment . He begged for and succeeded in ob > taming time to pay the fine .
Extessive Fmb at Homertos . —On Wednesday morning , shortly after one o ' clock , a fire broke out upon the extensive range of buildings belonging to Messrs Jshn and Samuel Berger , colour manufacturers , situated in Water-lane , flomerton . It ori » inated in the centre of the lower floor of a buildin * about eighty feet long and three stories high , used as drying houses . The building was closel y bounded on each side by furnaces , sheds workshops , and the gasworks . It appears that the discovery was made by ono of the workmen , who was engaged at the time in burning ivory in one of the retorts . Seeing the flames issuing from the building , he immediately communicated to some of his fellow-workmen the unwelcome intelligence . The whole of the men un at
the lime , at once set to work , and endeavoured bv means of buckets of water to subdue the flames . Their progress , however , was so exceedingly rapid , that the men were soon forced to make a retreat . Intelligence of the disaster was then sent off by a mounted police constable to the engine stations in town . In the mean time the parish engine arrived , but wasof little avail . So strong a hold had the fire obtained during the interim that it soon became apparent that it would not yield to the power of that force The bri gade engines from Whitecross-street and Jeffery-square stations followed soon afterwards . 1 hey were also set to work ; but by the time that was accomplished the fire had obtained complete possession of the immense building : and when the voof fell
in the flames rose to such an altitude as to be visible from most parts of the metropolis . Mr . Connorton , the moment he was apprised of the disaster , started to the scene of conflagration with the West ofEn < rland engine and firemen , and was followed bv the County engine , with Mr . Garwood . By judiciously distributing the water the flames were confined almost exclusively to the premises in which they commenced , but were not entirely extinguished until past six o ' clock . B y that time the whole of the valuable stock in the building was consumed , andthepremiscB were gutted . The stock destroyed consisted of blue verditeremerald greens , and lakes ; the value amounts to several thousand pounds , and the firm was not insured . The fire , it is supposed , originated in the overheat of one of the furnaces .
Fatat , Affray between a Landlord axd Tbsast . —On Wednesday Mr . Carter , coroner for Surrey , resumed and concluded an inquiry at the Bee Hive Carter-street , Walworth , touching the death of Mr ' . Charles Ratherbce , aged thirty-three years , a musician , residing at Vine Cottage , Walworth , who , it was alleged had died in consequence of violence inflicted upon him by a man named Harvey , his tenant , under the following circumstances : —Ann Rathorbee , widow of deceased , deposed that her husband had been possessed of a piece of land at Walworth , which he had let to Harvey , but which he had given him notice to quit lady-day last . Harvey did not do so , when , on the 8 th of April last , deceased , seeing him on the ground , went to him , and desired him to quit
the possession . He , however , still refused , saying he would not quit until " compelled to do so by law , and added " he would have a fair up and down for it . " lie then , without nny provocation , struck the deceased a violent blow with his elbow on the head , which knocked him down . He subsequently attempted to strike him with a spade , and threatened if he did not go off the land , "he would knock his ( deceased ' s ) life out .

Fires is Newcastle . —On Friday evening August 1 st , about ten o ' clock , a very destructive fire , broke out in the premises occupied by Mr . Perry , a treaclemanufacturer , in Pudding-chare . The fi"e was first discovered in the lower story of the building , by an individual who was passing , and he gave information to the policeman on duty , who dispatched a messenger for the engines , and save information at the police stations . The Newcastle and North British fire-engines were on the spot , and with some little delay were got ready for action , but it is painful to add , that the supply of water was scanty . There beins ? little indeed for a considerable time , the fire continued to rage with great fury , and before any effect could be made upon it , it had reached the top story ; the building being five stories high , and filled with very combustible materials . It being a
comparatively recent erectien with strong gables , the fire was confined within the main walls , though the heat was so intense as to ignite the wood on houses on the opposite side of the street which was with difficulty extinguished . The total loss is estimated at about £ 1 , 000 . The origin of the fire is undiscovered . By two o ' clock in the morning the fire was completely extinguished . On Monday forenoon last , about eleven o ' clock , an alarm was given that the factory of Messrs Clarke and Plummer , at Ouseburn , was on fire , and the fire engines immediately proceeded to the spot , when it was found that , in consequence of the machinery not being kept duly oiled in the cardinsrroom , the friction had caused the hemp to ignite . Fortunately it was discovered in time , and by buckets of water being thrown on the flames they were extinguished . The fire engines were not required .
Hydrophobia . —Another case of hydrophobia has taken place on Mr . flallett ' s farm , at Cuckfield . A short ti-ne ago one of Mr . Hallett ' s horses went raging mad from the bite of a dos ; and one day last week a cow , three years old , in full milch , exhibited symptoms of uneasiness as Mr . Hallett was drivin " her home with others to be milked . She kicked out frequently , and struck her head on the ground and when he got her home he shut her in the stable . The poor animal was shortly afterwards attacked with a raging fit , dashing herself against the sides of the building , tearing down everything within her reach , lacerating herself terribly , and occasionally bellowing iu a frightful manner . The fit continued throughout the night , and in the morning the cow became exceedingly exhausted . Her sufferings were terminated by being shot .
Cosfessiox to a Murder . —The citizens of Lincoln have been startled during the last week or two by the rumour that a man had confessed to having perpetrated a murder in their ancient city . A letter has been received by the superintendent of the Lincoln police , from the chaplain of Salford gaol , requesting him to make inquiries relative to the following matters : —The rev . gentleman states that in their gaol they have a man named Glapham , a joiner , 25 years of age , who has been sentenced to four months' imprisonment and hard labour , and who accuses himself of having pushed a man into the river in May , 1812 , and that he was drowned . The man says that at the time in question he was working with Messrs . Akrill and Coolins , joiners , of
Lincoln , and that one night a drunken man came to Mr . Akrill ' s , Waterside , where he lodged , and insisted upon coming in : he resisted him , and the man went away ; that he followed him , and they disagreed , and that he pushed him into the river , and he was drowned . After pushing him into the river , he immediately ran back to his lodgings ; that an inquest was held upon the body of the man , but that lie was never suspected ; that soon after he left the city , and began to wander about the country , and took to drinking very hard , as he felt wretched at what he had done , and that he made his present confession because he was tired of his life , and in order that he might be either sent away or be hung . In quines have been instituted , and the man ' s statement has lieen fully corroborated in many particulars .

A man named Duguy , employee at the Palais < les Beaux Arts , and lodging at No . *? in the above-mentioned street , gave reason to tut porter of the house , named Meunier , to reproach him a tew days back for bringing improper persons to his room .

Hixu for Murder-Western Circuit . —Bodmin , July 30 . —llusday Benjamin Ellison ' was put to the bar , charged with the murder of Elizabeth Ruth Scomen , by striking her a blow on the head . To this he pleaded . Not Guilty . Heis a fine and rather gentlemanly-looking old man , apparently about sixty yeavs of age , and with a remarkably well-developed and intellectual head . The particulars of this case appeared in this paper of July 19 th . It will be remembered that the prisoner and the deceased cohabited together , and it is believed that it was to gain possession of a little property she was possessed of , and which she had left to him in her will , that he committed the dreadful deed . He slept from home the night of the murder , and on going to the deceased ' s house next morning , pretended that he had . just discovered that she had been murdered ; alleging that some one must have gotten into the house and killed the deceased for the Durnose ol
robbing her . The unfortunate woman had evidently struggled with her murderer ; the cuts and bruises about the head , hands , and chest showed that she had defended herself courageously . Her whole bust was almost one mass of livid bruises ; whik ' there was a terrible fracture of the back part of her head . The floor was saturated in parts with blood , and large spots of blood marked the wall . In the little back kitchen was afterwards found a hatchet , the handle of which was covered with blood . The prisoner was immediately suspected to be tin murderer , and was taken into custod y . He was subsequently committed for trial on thc capital charge . On the trial a great number of witnesses were examined , and b a train of the most satisfactory circumstantial evidence , the crime was brought home to the prisoner . The jury , after a short consultation , returned a verdict of Guilty , and the learned judge immediately passed on the unhappy man the awful sentence of death .
A Semes of Muhders . —Awful Deeds of Blood . —A gentleman who arrived in Cincinnati lately gave the editor of the Commercial the following particular of dreadful deeds of blood committed on the Wachitta river , in Louisiana , a few days since . He stated that two planters , living on adjoining plantations , had a difhculty . An unruly horse belonging to one jumped into a Jot belonging to the other , and was shot , boon alter , a negro , belonging to the owner of tin horse , went over to the said plantation , and lie too wassuot . Ihe same evening the planter who owned the horse and negro took his gun and went over to the planter s house who had shot his horse and neero
and , as lie stood m Ins yard , deliberately shot him dead , ihe son ol the dead planter , hearing thc report , came out of the house when he was commanded to stand . As soon as the gun was reloaded the son was shot , and immediately expired . The daughter of the planter then came to the door , when the monster took Ins bowie-knife and cut her throat from ear to ear , and then fled . The slaves on the plantation raised the alarm , and the fiend was pursued am . taken , and committed to the nearest gaol to await a trial . These awiulterrinc details are said to be from a reliable source , but we feel inclined to doubt them . —American paper .
The Life Guards . —On Monday afternoon , between three and four o ' clock , an accident of ratkr a serious nature occurred to a private belon ^ iiif to Captain Hall ' s troop of the 2 nd Life Guards ; wfrilst on the march to Windsor after the grand review in Hyde-park . The troops had reached Turnhamgreen , when the horse on which the man was ridiri " suddenly stumbled and fell , the man also falling witl . his right leg beneath the animal . The occurrence caused much confusion among the troops , and two of the soldiers instantly dismounted to their comrade ' s assistance . On lifting him up he complained that his leg was broken , and by order of the commanding officer he was carried into the Travellers' Rest publichouse , near thc new church , where , on being examined by the surgeons of the regiment , the bone ol his right leg was found to be badly fractured . lit was conveyed to the hospital belonging to the regiment at Spital , near "Windsor . °

Sir J . Graium saia that in the month of March last in consequence of what had fallen from the Uon . gcntltman , the Poor Law commissioners made a communication to tha guardians of the union in question , as " to the illegality of labour by machinery from . which no produce of that alleged to exist in the union workhouse of Mansfield , in . Nottinghamshire . The practice under the New Poor Low
was , that any parson claiming shelter for the night could f , ° ,. l a ,- ? J ' kin "" - ' n ^ ning to repay the parish tor the relwf afforded . The practice at Mansfield was , that there wus a wheel upon which persons applying for ny hfly shelter worked from one to four hour hours . «• !

ance with the letter nor the spirit of the Poor Law Amendment Act , The first communication relative to thtomode of employing vagrants had produced no result , and subsequently the commissioners sent down a peremptory order for the discontinuance of the practice . Mr , Wakley wished to ( . -all the attention of the right hon , baTonet to a practice which was stated to prevail in a poorlaw union ( the name of which was not ' lioard in the gallery , but which was understood to be in Hampshire ) . One of the guardians had complained to the commissioners that the paupers were employed in grinding bones , and that while so engaged they were in the habit of quarrelling with each other for those bones on which there appeared to be any meat , of extracting thc marrow from them , and gnawing the meat from the extremity of the bso « 3 .
Sir J . Giuiiam said he could not conceive that any such circumstances could have oucuvvcq . The house must have heard the statement with horror . ( Hear , hear . ) He had never heard any statement at all similar to that made by the liou . gentleman . Mr . Wakle * asked whether , in consequence of tliB statement which lie had made , the right lion , baronet would please to institute an investigation on the subject ? Sir J . Gkaham replied that lie would do so that night . The affairs of Greece occupied a considerable portion of the evening , the discussion being raised by Lord Pahncrston . After which , several bills were forwarded a stage , and the house adjourned .

MAltYLEBOSE . SiTnitDAr—The "Flesh" and the " Smmt . "—Two ladies of particularly " easy virtue , " named Martha Lewis and Sarah White , were charged with annoying an elderly person , who described himself as a Wcslcyan preacher . The worthy man made the following statement in answer to the inquiries of the magistrate : — " In my progress along the New-road , last night , I having been enjoying the society of a respected friend at l'cntonvillc , these women came up to me and asked me to treat them ; which I of course refused ; they , however , detained me wlien
about to pass on my way , and strongly pressed me to treat them , still holding me by the coat , which they tore . Of course I again refused , and threatened to give them into custody if they did not desist annoying me . I then saw they were drunk . One of them said , — ' Come , old chap , give us something , or we'll give it to you . ' They then shook me , and thinking it was their intention to rob me , ( I called out for the police . " The women declared that the old gsntleman was drunk and wanted to go home with them .- This , however , their accuser solemnly ¦ lenied . ^ Theladic 3 were ordered to pay 10 s . each , or to go to prison for fourteen dtiys . They were locked up .

Dalmaiiie and Co ., of Soho-squavc , music publishers , was placed at the bar , charged with attempting to picU pockets . —George Anderson , police-constable No . 35 , of the C division , stated that about five o ' clock yesterday afternoon , he saw the prisoner following three ladies , walking avm-in-arm , up Hegent-strtet , towards Oxford-street , from Piccadilly . Thc prisonerlook-. d back several times to observe if he was watched . Witness was in plain clothes . He followed him up as closely as he could , At the Circus iu Oxford-stvout tinladies were prevented from crossing by some omnibuses
passing . The prisoner then went up to the middle one , and put his hand round her to her right-hand pocket . He , however , did not take anything out , as tiie ladies moved on at the instant , and lie then walked back down Kcgent-street , as far as Argyll-place , when lie went up to two ladies who were looking in at a shop-window , and attempted tlte pockets of one ol them in the same way . He afterwards followed t \ v « other ladies , and witness saw him lift up one of their gowns , on which lie took him iuto custody . The prisoner resisted , and used very violent and foul language , and attempted to get away . —The prisoner , in answer to the accusation against him , said that nearly the whole , of the statement of the police-constable was a fabrication . It
was true that lie was passinp up Eegent-street when thc constable stopped him , but that he had not attempted to pick any person ' s pocket , nor had he ever turned back , as the constable stated . He resisted the constable , Decause , as ho was in plain clothes , he did not suppose he had any authority to arrest him . —Wilks , thc gaoler , and other officers of tbe court , said they had known the piisoner as a man of uublemislied character for many years . —A host of the prisoner's friends were in court to testify to the same effect . —Mr . Maltby said lie should send the case for further investigation before a jury . —The prisoner was accordingly committed to take his trial for the misdc uicanour of attempting to pick pockets . —Bail was afterivnrds offered and accepted for his appearance .
WADSWOItTH . YfEDSESDAT .--A Taie of MvsTERi . —Soon after Mr . 1 ' aynter , the presiding magistrate , had taken his seat . Serjeant Burstal , V 2 , introduced to his notice a young woman , of about eighteen years of ate , of petite figure , ; air complexion , blue eyes , and attired in dsep mourning , whom he had found sitting at the ed , 'e of a ] ond , on Wimbledon Common , at an early hour that morning , under circumstances that induced that officer to suppose that she contemplated suicide . The prisoner upon being asked her name , replied in a low tone of voice , Eliza Ful . ton , but refused to give her address ; she wept bitterly , and apparently was suffering acutely . In reply to a series of questions , the prisoner , who occasionally lean i against the bar , buried her face in her hands , and wept
made the following strange and incoherent statement . That she was born , so far as she knew , in London . That at seven years of age her mother died , in Mount-row , Grosvenor-square . Her father , who was a tailor , went to reside at Newcastle-upon-Tyne , and a gentleman whose name she could not divulge , took charge of her . She had since had icason to believe that the name slit ivent by was not her right one , and that her mother ' * family was highly respectable , and settled in Yorkshire . She had lately been treated with great harshness am ! cruelty by the family in which she was living ; and , because she would not listen to certain overtures made to her by the gentleman who originally look her from her mother ' s deathbed , he had violently assaulted her and turned her out of the house . She had come all that way
from town to be out of thu reach of l . is brutality , and had intended to remain until that evening , when , if she received a letter from him , forwarding her n . oney to enable her to go iuto tlio country , she wuuld have Uft London for ever . She begged of the magistrate to disuluu gc her . Mr . Payntcr said he certainly should not do thai ; ke thought the prisoner ought to be under no delicacy in e * - , iusing ihe name of a man who had endeavoured to ruiii her . —Prisoner : Then , you won't let me go?—Mr . Payntcr : Not unless I know where you go to . —Prisoner If I were to tell you where I am going , you would then liscover him ; I cannot , 1 will not , tell his name . After a long conversation the names of one or two parties in town were elicited , and the prisoner was sent to thu union pending inquires .
MAItYLEBONE . Wednesday . —Extbaobdinakt Attempt at Suicide ON THE Gbeat Westehn Uailwav . —A labouring man , named William Tucker , was brought up from St . George ' * Hospital , and placed at the bar before Mr . Rawlinson . charged with having made two attempts to put a period to his existence . It appeared from the evidence that on Sunday week , the 27 th ult ., between five and six in tin avening , the prisoner , who was much the worse for liquor , tied a rope round the area railing of the house at wliicli lie lodged , No . 10 , Praed-street , Paddington , and hung himself up by the neck . Another lodger who perceived him hanging rushed out and cut him down iu time to save his life , and as soon as lie ( prisoner ) had recovered from Hie effects of the vash act he quitted home . In the course of an hour he made his way to the premises of the Great Western Uaihvay , and laid himsclt down across the rail near Lord Hill ' s Bridge , Bituate within half a
mile of the terminus , his object evidently being that of losing his life by carriages passing over him . One of the company's constables , No . 83 , who was on duty at the signal post near the spot , fortunately succeeded in causing the engine-driver of an up train , which was progressing along at the period , to slacken his speed , and instead of being run over the- prisoner was merely struck by the ironworks in front ot" the engine denominated a " guard , " which turned him over on his side , and lie received such injury on one of his knees as to render it . advisable lor him to be removed to the lios p ital , where he remained until yesterday morning . The prisoner , in answer to the charge , said that he was uneasy in his niind , arising from a quarrel which lie had had with his wife ; ho regretted exceedingly what he had done , and promised with much apparent sincerity to conduct himself properly in future , lie was then discharged , and he and his wife quitted thc court together . | |
SOUTHWARK . Monday . —A Blackguard . —William Parker , described as a maltster , was charged before Mr . Trnill with committing an assault on Mrs . Lydia Jones , a tradesman ' s wife . The complainant , ' one of whose eyes was black and swollen , stated that on thc proceeding nhjht as she and her husband were walking along Union- street , he had occasion to call at a house , and while she was waiting fov him , thc defendant came up and addressed her in . a very rude manner . She desired him to go about lf&busincss , but instead of doing so , he began to pull her about , and she then informed him that her Jwsband was near nt hand , and would resent his conduct . The deponent , however , not intimidated , still persevered , and tried to twist an umbrella out of her band , and while she was struggling with him her husband came up , and ' ' j fc ; > j d
some words of an angry niiture having passed between them , a scuffle ensued , and a policeman coming to the spot the defendant was given into custody . —A young man who witnessed the transaction stated that he saw the defendant pulling Mrs . Jones about , and afterwards saw him strike her in the face . The complainant ' s husband said that , on hearing his ¦ wife call out , lie ran to the spot , and finding she had been ill-used by the defendant , he askad that person how he presumed to interfere with her . The defendant , instead of evincing any contrition , began to use abusive language towards witness , ' who , in the irritation of the moment , struck him , and a scuffle of some duration took place , which ended in his giving his wife ' s assailant into custody , lie aildeiJ , that he did not sec the blow given to Ills wife , lmt lie afterwards savx \< ix Wooding from the eve . The defendant I . „ ( J ^ j n 4 fc ( ie [) f , „ ie rit

said , that seeing the complainanfalone-in tlio street , lie merely went up and invited her to take some refreshment , not thinking she was a married woman ; that while he was in the act of prevailing on her to accept his offer the last witness came up and , without ceremony , struck him in the mouth , cut ths inside of his lip , and loosened some oi'liis teeth . Mr . Traill said , had it been satisfactorily proved that defendant had given the complainant the blow which had so disfigured her face , he should have infficted a very heavy line upon him . The complainant ' s husband , it appeared , had taken ti e law into his own hands , and punished his wife ' s assailant , otherwise the case would have been differently dealt with . The magistrate then held thc defendant to bail , compelling him to pay thc costs .

1 olitical Martyrs' Monument . —This structure has now reached to the height of about forty feet from , the gronnd , and is advancing rapidly to commotion . It is to be ninety feet hi gh altogether , so thai it is not yet halt way up , but as it is in the form of an obelisk , the remaining portion will taper of considerably , and cost much less labour than the part already mushed . The building is of a substantial character and will probably defy the tooth of time for many aa age . It is constructed of massive blocks of h" ue freestone , and has a large surface on all the four sides , near thc basement , polished for the reception of inscriptions . It stands but a few paces to thc east of the monument of David llnme . the historian , and so near to the precipitous rock ,, which overhan-s the north-back of the Canongate that it will form one of the most striking objects from the North British and
hdlllburgll and Glasgow Railways , near their junction lo the travi-Uer arriving in Edinburgh , from the east or west , this plain structure , in commemoration of the patriotism and sufferings of Scotland ' s political martyrs , will present itselfat firstsight , and naturally surest to tile , thoughtful lnhul a lesson on the unfailing certainty of retributive justice , and the immortal nature of those principles for which Muhv Gerald Skirving , Palmer , and Margaret suffered martyrdom half a century ago , and now are canonised . <( Can this be the aristocratic city in which thisemen were unjustl y condemned ? " tlio traveller will natural !) inquire . "Yes , " let him be answered , "thccity is thc same but thc times arc changed . ,- ' I he memory of Thomas Muir and his hi gh-souled as- " soeiates , is fondly cheiishcd where they were treated as ieUms , -while their persecutors , who were then high in place aud honour , are now remembered only to be execrated .

_ lHK PUESIDKXTS OF THE UNITED STATES . —It IS a circumstance worthy of note , that three of the Presidents of the United States—Jackson , Monroe , and 1 olk—have sprung from the same race , the Scottish colonists of thc north of Ireland . Jackson certainly exhibited in an eminent degree the strongest and best points of that ancestral character , which presents a singularly happy union of the sterner virtues that distinguish the Scot , with the stronjr impulses , quick perception , and warm affections of the Irish people . Washington , Jefferson Madison , and the Adamses , were of English descent ; and in the lives and characters of all , in varying proportions , we can c early trace the distinctive traits which point to
their Anglo-Saxon origin . Van Buren has been tho only descendant of the Dutch a lonists that has attained the highest honours in the Union . In this reference to the parentage of our precedents we sug - gest a subject of study not a little curious , and by no means unworthy attention and philosophical investigation . The birth-place of Andrew Jackson ' s father is jtill pointed out to the stranger by the people of that district in the north of Ireland with marked and peculiar feelings of pride . " There , " the traveller will be told , with an air as if something ot thc greatest inteicst was communicated , " there is the place where thc father of General Jackson was born .
