      TiMwoRTH . —Dreadful asd Deiermixed Suicide . —A . « very shocking occurrence took place last week at Hopwas Hayes , a-village a few miles from Tamworth , which has created a painful sensation in the neighbouriioouY "lfr . "William Pallett , a respectable iavmer , wlio was in good circumstances , lived with his wife and a-grown-Kp son in this . placc . Lately he was observed by the-asighbours to be greatly altered in his manners and appearance . ; he was much -depressed in -spirits , and lie studiously avoided alLconversation with'Ms acquaintances . He was rcmaukable as an earlyrriser ; but on Wednesday morning week , not making his appearance as usual , . his wife , who isad left him in bed a couple of hours before , went up stairs "to an'ake . him , ivhcn she was horrorstruck at perceiving him on his knees in the middle of the room , with . an open razor in his hand ,, endeavouring to cut his throat . Sheimmeiliatcly laid hold

      of his arms , and'by a desperate effort wrenched . the razor from / him , bat not before he had inflicted some deep gashes . "She then rushed from the house , . and ran into an adjoining field , where a ncighuourJTIionias Jefiries ) was engaged , and screamed out in great distress that her husband had cut his throat , at tlie same time exhibiting the razor covered with blood which she had wrested from him . Mr . Jeffries instantly returned with her to the room in which she had left her iusband , and found the unfortunate man lying on his face , with another open razor in his hand , and bleeding from a frightful gash of about four inches in length in his throat . lie was not quite dead vrhen they raised him lip , but almost immediately after he breathed his last , lie was fiftytwo years of age , and was much respected in tlie neighbourhood . After a 1 ull inquiry into all the circumstances , the jury returned averdict of Temporary . Insanity .

      Accident ox ihe Loxdo . \ axd Eibmixgiuu Rail-. 3 £ AT . —On Sunday considerable excitement prevailed . ia the City , consequent on a rumour that another . accident of a serious nature had taken place on the London and Birmingham llailwaj . The CJI'CUIU-. st&nce which gave rise to . this rumour was the fact that the letters which arrived iu town from Liverpool and other places in that direction , per the Liverpool mail , were not delivered until upwards of an hour after the regular time . On the reporter instituting . inquiries , he had supplied to him oiliciaily , by the authorities of the railway , tlie following parricuJars : — . The jour o ' clock down luggage train " kit the Camden station for Birmingham yesterday morning at the nsua ^ hour , and proceeded at its prescribed pace

      down . the Jine . On arriving within about a mile and alwdAqf tUc Harrow station , and but a short distance . froni . fche "West London Junction , the enginedriver of . tie luggage train was astonished to find his speed greatly to increase , and on looking round he discovered that tlie train had become dateched , and that he v ,-as only proceeding with half the number of carriages lie set out with , lie instancy . shut off the steam and jmfc down his break , ajid . the result was that iUc detached portion of the train , which still had great impetus on it , ran into the waggons preceding with sulficieut violence to throw them over , together with , the

      merchandise they contained , on to the up-hnc . Two ov three caiiages were thus situated , and as the Liverpool mail train was nearly due , men were despatched to stop it at the Harrow station , and a large body of men having been employed , the line was cleared , no further injury happening thau the detention ol the Liverpool wail , lifty-three miuutes beyond its proper time . Tlie cause of the train becoming detached was the breaking of one of the coupling chains by which the carriages were connected together , on account of the immense strain npon it , created by the weight it had to bear , tJhe train being an unusually long oue . After considerable delay the luggage train was enabled to proceed on its journey .

      Two Men Drowsed lv a Coal Pit . —On Sunday evening last , two ( men , named Hugh Adam and William M'Donald / lost their lives in the Wellington coal-pit , at Millerhill , near Dalkeith . The pit , we believe , is about 463 feet deep : and being as yet unwrought , npwards of 120 feet of water had been allowed to accumulate at the bottom . " On the night in question , the men whose names are mentioned above , along with another individual named David Clunie , were sent down the shaft for the purpose of stopping up an air-hole , and as they did not calculate on being

      many minufcesin accomp lishing this matter , they very carelessly and injudiciously descended without their lamps When they were about half-way down , some derangement took place in the machinery at the top ofthVpit , in consequence of svhich the bucket descended with such velocity , thatwhenitcame in contact with the water it canted over , throwing out the unfortunate individuals . Clunie clung to the side of the pit , and got his head above the water ; in which position he remained till assistance reached him from above . Adam and M'Donald were , however , instantaneously drowned . —Scotsman .

      —n ¦—< M—¦^¦^¦ a—^—^—mm ^ | ^ ^ mm DrnjADFui Accident on Lakk EmEi— . The Jb . ronto Banner gives the following account , by an eyewitness , of a collision between the British steamers the London and . the Kent , on Lake Erie , on the 13 th of August : —At half-past three , a . m ., this day , below Point au Belle , on Lake Erie , the London steamer from Buffalo , and the Kent steamer on her downward passage , came in contact with a dreadful crash , and the result of the concussion was the loss of the latter boat , and . I grieve to add , several lives . I have no heart to dwell upon the scene which we witnessed . For some minutes we supposed that we had broken the machinery of the London , and were going to the bottom , and were only relieved from the apprehension of a watery grave by the sight ol the Kent rapidly sinking at our bows . Every eifort , ¦

      was made to save her passengers , and all '¦ who were in sight were saved , several of those from the cabin being transferred to our boat without even their clothes 5 but , sad to say , a number were lost , being unable to gain tlie upper deck in time . Among these we reckon—Rev . James E . Quay , Redford , Michigan ; Mr . Osborne , Gcnesse , N . Y . ; Mr . Seth Deming , 13 erlin , Connecticut : Master Bruce Deming , Galena , W . T . ; James Lowden , Ypsilanti , Michigan ; two young ladies and a boy from near Ypsilanti , names not known . All the officers and hands of the boat , and 79 passengers , including 10 children , were saved . Without any formal proceed ings on the subject , our passengers have endeavoured to ascertain the cause of this dreadful accident , , and we have no doubt it occurred in consequence of the

      error in the pilot of the Kent attempting to pass on the wrong side of the London , which brought her directly across the bow , and at tlm the engineer of the London , as soon as lie saw the courseei" the Kent , shut off his steam , yet iis boat had so much headway that the Kent was cat down in front ef her wheelhouse . We remained five hours with the wreck , gathering floating |« rcels of baggage , < fcc , and attempting to tow the hull ashore , b « t she gradually sunk by the head , and we were compelled to perform the sad office of hoisting her flag half-mast , high and leaving her to her fate . The London is not at all injured . Our . psssengers have done something to relieve the necessities of the safferers—the ladies dividing their ¦ wardrobes , and the gentlemen opening 4 heir purses .

      Tub MuHDEfl of Mr . Pbacop . —Committal of the ( Prisoners . — "Chester , Saturday . —The further examination of the fourprisonerscharged with this horrible murder took place to-day in the Nisi Prius Court . Mr .-FieldeH having asked Mr . Chew whether he appearedforthe prisoners to-day , and being answered by that gentleman in the affirmative , he said : I have to state tiiat the magistrates have given this case that ample consideration ¦ which they promised they would do , and the decision they have unanimously come to is , that thecasemust be referred toa highei tribunal . The prisoners must , therefore , ' he

      committed to take their trial at the next assizes . Mr . Chew declared the proceedings of the magistrates to ue contrary to law and justice . Mr . Fieldcir : We are not trying the case . Mr . Chevy : Then , are these menttobeincarccratedin gaol for six months upon no evidence at all ! The prisoners appeared much woestrkken at the result , as they had been Jed to the belief by their attorney that the bench could-not commit them according to law . The immense number of Irish labourers , at Birkenhead , are also much disappointed at the result from the same cause , and a great deal of dissatisfaction is expressed .

      Sno . \ L of Whiles at Stromness . — . Satal Acci-PEsr . —On Saturday afternoon our harbour presented n lively and exciting scene , a shoal ofsmail whales Jiaving entered it , and gambolled about for a conoiderable time , keenly pursued by a number of boats . There were crowds of spectators on the ^ uays , almost nil tbe houses in town being emptied of their inhabitants , witnessing the eager chase . Tlie efforts made by the tinny triba to preserve life were -as strenuous as were the attempts made by their pursuers for their destruction . Often did they fly from one direction to another , 'seeking to escape , causiEg the boats to "reel to and . fro , and stagger like a drunken man , " threatening destruction to all around them , and awakening fears in the minds of many who were anxiously contemplating the issue of the fight . The darkness of night closed the interesting and deeply

      moving spectacle , and aided the fish in gaining their freedom . There was only a small < one caught , measuring abimt seven feet . This is a matter of regret , as the shoal was considerable , and had success accompanied the means used to secure . them , it would have pvovDil a great blessing to the place . But what is still to be far . more deeply regretted , ? a young man , a ship carpenter belonging to the towji , got his leg entangled in a coil of rope to which a . harpoun was fixed , and the boat in which he and some other men were was suddenly-overturned by a fish which was struck , and he must have been dragged . to sea , as every cll ' ort has been made to get his body . in . the harbour without success . By this very melancholy dispensation a family has been unexpectedly deprived ol' a son , who , only a few minutes before , left them vigorous in health , no more to see each other . till-the judgment of the great day . — : Edinburglt Witness .

      RoBBEnv op Plate . —Cambridge . —a large quantity of valuable plate was missed on Tuesday morning from the plate-room of St . -Peter ' s College , Cambridge . The . butler had locked the door shortly before midnight , and saw that all-was safe in the butteries , and tuea-obbery must have taken place after that hour . The articles stolen consist of large tankards , pint-stoups , goblets , dishes , covers , waiters , breadbasket—all silver , with the names of the donors on them , besides several dozen of silver forks and spoons of all sizes , soup ladles , fish knives < $ sc ., < fcc . All had the cross'keys and the arms of the college on them . To a late hour no clue had been found to the thieves , although messengers were sent to London , Norwich , Yarmouth , Bury , and in other directions . About two years ago a similar robbery was committed in the butteries of Jesus College of plate to the amount of about £ 700 . The va' ue of tho plate stolen on Monday night from St . Peter ' s is upwards of £ 1 , 000 . It is a singular-coincidence with regard to

      both these robberies , that the thieves did not take anything like the whole of the plate « n both occasions . In tlie robbery at Jesus College , especially , they left by far the most valuable portion behind . IIopcs arc entertained that should the thieves be discovered in the recent case , a clue will be obtained to those concerned in the former one , as it is gonerally thought that the same gang committed both robberies . In neither were any locks or bars broken . . Upwards of fifty years ago several colleges were robbed ia one night , and it was some time before those concerned in it were found out . The plate was then recovered , lucidly , in the hut of a sweep , one of the thieves , in the neighbourhood of the Midsummer-common . A good deal has been said about the want of the electric telegraph on the railroad from Cambridge to London , by which means the plunderers , had they gone in the early train with their booty , as it is not improbable they did , would not fail of being taken .

      MeMXCIIOLY OCCUKHENCE AT HOUNSLOW BaMUCKS . —We vegvet to state that an occurrence of a melancholy character took place on Sunday night , at the barracks of the 4 th regiment of Light Dragoons , stationed at Hounslow , during which Quartermaster Thomas Tarleton was stabbed in Ihe belly by Lientenant Martin Iverwan , of that regiment . Thegreatcst secrecy relative to the circumstances connected with the unfortunate affair has ever since been maintained by the military authorities of the barracks , and it was not until yesterday afternoon that the fact began tobe known in the town of Hounslow . Various reports were immediately in circulation as to the particulars of the transaction , one of which was , that in consequence of the promotion , by purchase ,

      of Major Harcourt Masters , of that regiment , to the rank of lieutenant-colonel , unattached , which appeared in tlie London Gazette of Friday last , that officer on Sunday last gave a dinner to his brother officers , which took place in the mess-room of the regiment at Hounslow barracks . The convivialities of the evening were kept up until a late hour , and it is stated by some who profess to be well-informed , that about twelve o ' clock , while under the influence of wine , Lieutenant Kerwan took umbrage at something that occurred , and finally quitted the mess-room for his own apartments , whither he was attended by Quartermaster Tarleton , who endeavoured to soothe his irritated feelings , but on reaching the lieutenant ' s apartments that officer immediatel y seized his sword and stabbed Tarleton as above described .

      A Snip ' s Crew Destroyed by Fever . — Portsmouth , Sept , 29 . —The Echir steam sloop , Commander Walter G . B . Esteourt , came up to the -Motherbank this morning , about nine o ' clock , with the yellow Hag , with a black ball in its centre , flying from her mainmast head , emblematic of death on board . She hasbeen so awfull y visited with sickness since she has been on the coast of Africa that she has been sent home . The awful number of sixtytwo have died in the vessel , and others are dying hourly . We regret to state Commander Esteourt is among the number dead . The names of the other officers and men we cannot . at present tell , no communication being allowed . We are informed there are now twenty-three ill on board . The surgeon was alive this morning , and on the quarantine officers going alongside the vessel , we are informed , he answered their inquiries , and said the mortality was

      from a lever something between the yellow and the black . One of them died this morning . The Customs authorities are fearful of removing any one on board . We believe , however , fresh provisions have been sent to the vessel , but whether any humane assistance we cannot find out ; we believe none , owing to tho fear of contagion . If ahe remains at the Motherbank , she will have to ride out forty days ' quarantine , but we are informed it is most probable she will be supplied with fuel and fresh provisions , and be sent lor a cruise in the North Sea . The Adnwjty despatches are . landed , but nothing else . A boat rows guard round the vcsboI to prevent communication and consequent contagion , as well as to prevent any one escaping from the vessel improperly .

The foreign body proved to be a fragment of glass of a triangular shape ; the basis of the triangle being more than half an inch in length , and each of the sidesmore than an inch . It was extracted wlUi a dissecting forceps , and the patient is doing well . —The Medical Times ,

      ' Fatah . Accident ox tub Chotdon Railwat . —On Tuesday morning , between twelve and one o ' clock , a frightful accident occurred on the London and Croydon Railway ^ by which a man named Charles J ] j ] J , aged thirty-eight years , has unfortunately lost his lite . It appeared that Hill was foreman of the ballast men employed on the line between New Cross and the Dartmouth Arms stations . It is customary lor two gangs of men to work on the line , one by day and the other by night . At the hour above-mentioned Hill was about to start with a train of waggons containing earth to another part of the line , to form an embankment . The train was propelled by a locomotive engine , which had been set in motion before Hill was quite ready to accompany it , when he

      hastily attempted to get upon the engine . In so doing his foot slipped , and he fell beneath the wheels across the line of rails , and the engine passed completely over both his legs . The engineer stopped the engine as speedily as possible , and the poor fellow was extricated ; and it was found that bis right leg was smashed in a frightful manner , and nearly severed from the thigh , and the left foot cut in two . A special train was prepared , and he was conveyed to Guy ' s Hospital , where he was placed under the care of Mr . Shelley , the house-surgeon . From the nature of the injuries he had received , no hopes , from the first , were entertained of his recovery . He lingered until eleven o ' clock the same morning , when death put an end to his sufferings . He haa left a widow and large family .

      Numerous Sudden Deaths . —On Tuesday , Mr . Baker held , at the Refiners' Arms , Buvop-street . Commercial-road , jour inpcatSj on the bodies of persons dying suddenly . The first was on Owen Clark , aged 55 , a blacksmith , of Hungerford-street . Deceased had not been ill for twelve years until Saturday last , when he had a spasmodic attack , and died immediately after his wife had given him a cup of coffee ami rum . —The second was on the body of Sherman Stimson , aged 51 , clerk to Mr . Brown , surveyor , « fcc ., of Billiter-street . Deceased had not been ill for twelve years until Saturday , when he had a paralytic attack , which rendered him speechless . He was taken home and medically treated , but died at midnight . —The third inquest related to the death

      of Eliza Hue , aged 18 , a native of Birmingham . She was a remarkably fine young woman , and came to London on the 20 th September on a visit to her sister . On Saturday morning last she was seized with violent internal pains , which continued until her death on Sunday morning . A post mortem examination , made by Mr . Cory , of the Commercialroad , showed that death was caused by an ulcer of the stomach , which had perforated its coats . —The fourth was on the body of Henrietta Elizabeth Bishop , an infant , who received a slight fall on Saturday week . The circumstance frightened the mother so much that it altered the character of her milk , which brought on inflammation of the child ' s bowels , of which it died on Sunday . Verdict in each case , Natural Death .

Stoker , coroner for this borough , on the body of Ralph Parker , a young man , who came by his death under the following melancholy circumstances . It appears on Saturday night week the deceased went into an eating house , in the Pudding Chare , kept by a Mr . John Thompson , to procure some refreshment . Some other persons were there when he went in , among whom were one named Selby Green and another named John Bell , better known by the cognomen of " Smasher Bell" at the police-court , where he has been a frequent visitor . Green was enjoying the luxury of a plate of beef , and Bell and others were tantalising him in various

      ways ; sometimes taking a portion of meat off his plate . Parker , the deceased , having sat down , and ordered a plate of meat , joined in the fun the others were creating by annoying Green ; and also attempted to take a piece of the meat off Green ' s plate , when , of a sudden , Green took the knife he was eating with and plunged it into Parker ' s eye , with such force that it entered the socket of the eye several inches , and he was obliged to relinquish his hold of it , and leave it there . The deceased shouted in excruciating agony , and attempted to take it out , but could not . Bell endeavoured to pull it out , using great strength , but failed , and Green himself , awakened to

      a sense of the injury he had inflicted , also tried with both hands , and at length , with much difficulty , succeeded in extracting it . During tin ' s time the police had been called in , and they at once took Green into custody , and conveyed Parker home to his residence in Gibson-street , where he lingered in great pain till yesterday evening , when death put an end to his sufferings . On Saturday , it being obvious that he could not long survive the injury he had received , the magistrates attended , and took his deposition , which , is substantially the same as the statement here given . After the jury had viewed the body the coroner ordered a , post mortem examination to be made , and adjourned the inquest for that purpose .

      Destructive Fire at Plymouth . —On Friday night , about nine o ' clock , a fire broke out in the saw mills of Messrs . Foster and Beal , situated in Coxside , by which property to a very large amount has been completely destroyed . Only eleven months ago there was a fire on the same premises , which was considered to have been the work of an incendiary , but this , we believe , can be traced to the circumstance of Mr , Bofll having thrown a piece of burning paper , which he had just lighted , on the ground , which lay smouldering for an hour before it broke out into a flame .

      When , however , it burst out , the ravages of the lire soon became past all mastery , and all that the firemen could do was to direct their efforts to saving the neighbouring premises . The wood-works are adjoined by the patent paint manufactory of Messrs . Johns and Co ., in which was a very iarge stock oi oil , turpentine , and other combustible matter , which were happily saved from ignition . The fire-engines took up their station in the paint-yard , and by playing on that side of the fire , fortunately prevented its further progress in that direction .

      Execution at Genoa . —Went to the mole , wishing to see what preparations had been made for the execution , but wa 3 refused admittance at the gates , I then took a boat and went on board the Emuloug , an English schooner , lying near the mole , and at a short distance from the gallows . About noon the two criminals arrived on foot , escorted by a procession of officers of justice , monks , and others , with a banner , crucifix , &c . The gallows was very low , and had no drop nor stage , but a strong wide ladder was placed against the cross-beam . The executioner was a tall , powerful man , very well and very neatly dressed , with his hair nicely arranged , appearing somewhat like a respectable servant in half livery . Ue mounted the ladder firstand one of

      , tho criminals , apparently without any compulsion , followed behind him , dressed in shabby , dirty clothes , with no cap or other covering for his head or face . His arms were closely pinioned to his side . When the executioner had attached the halter , previously placed round the criminal ' s neck , to the hook , with a sudden thrust ho pushed him off the ladder , and supporting himself by the beam , he stood on the neck and shoulders of his victim , jumping , stamping , and bending the head sideways as much as possible , while one or two assistants below pulled forcibly at his legs . The wretched man appeared to be quite dead in less than half a minute . The execution of the second criminal , who was treated in the same manner , was

      a still more horrid spectacle , for he was dragged up the ladder , step by step , by main force , by the executioner and his men ; and his terror must have been increased , if possible , by seeing the ghastly corpse of his companion dangling above him . In another minute he was himself a corpse hanging by his side . A handsome well-fed priest then mounted the ladder , and made a short address to the spectators , exhorting them ( as I was informed , for I was at too great a distance to hear his words ) to take warning by the fate ot the criminals . Not more than 200 or 300 persons were admitted on the mole . The greater part of the spectators were m boats , or in the vessels in the harbour , and among them all I could not see more wian about twenty women , who we ™ niim « v

      quite ot the lower orders . The assembly behaved quietly , butshowed greatindifference , and even levity . Ihe bodies of the criminals remained on the gallows till halt-past five m the afternoon , and the spSt was visited by thousands , the mole being open to the public as usual . They were natives of Savona . They had been notoriousl y bad characters , and one of them had been a thief from the age of five yean , at which time he was in the habit of cutting off the leaden weights from the fishermen ' s nets when thev were spread out to dry on the shore . The crime for which they suffered was a murder of the worst description , ihey had gone to the house of a priest in Genoa , and finding from the servant that her master was mi c

      and would not return for some time , they murdered herbystranglingher with their own handsj after which they had brutally disfigured the body . They X . tlf .

But the advocates for capital punishments and public executions say that the example is useful in deterring others from committing crime . Ifso , the Genoese are more rational than the English , because , without increasing the sufferings of the criminal , they make that example as effective and horrible as possible . And the address of the priest , standing on the ladder by the side of the scarcely lifeless bodies , and speaking to an assembly ; every individual of which , however depraved , must , fora short time at least , be in a serious mood , might be made , if well ^ managed , a very solemn and impressive part of this dreadful ceremony . —( From an Bye-Witness . )

      Explosion of Gas asd Shocking Accidext . —On Monday morning , between seven and eight o ' clock , the inhabitants of Fleet-street and its vicinity were alarmed by a loud rep 6 rfc and smashing of glass , while smoke and flame were seen to issue from East Temple Chambers , in Whitefriars-street . It appeared that the housekeeper on going in as usual to prepare the rooms , perceived a strong smell of gas , and called a lad , who camo into the room with a lighted candle . Immediately a loud report took place , and the room and furniture were quickly on tire . The Farringdon-street engine was speedily on the spot , and the liremen succeeded in confining tho flames to the rooms in which the explosion occurred . We regret to add that the unfortunate woman was severely burnt , while her clothes were destroyed . She now lies in a very dangerous state . The poor boy was also injured by the fire , but not so severely . The escape ol gas which caused the accident is supposed to have arisen from its not having been turned off at the main .

      Liverfooi/—Tiie Leg of a Captain Toun off . — On Saturday Captain Owch Williams , of the Altieida schooner , from Glasgow , engaged with a steamer to tow his vessel up to Runcorn . A hawser was passed to the st amcr for that purpose , ant } on tho word being given to go a-head it was found'that by some means the captain's leg had become entangled in the hawser , and he could not be rescued-until Ills fOOt was literally torn off above the ancle . He was immediately taken aikove in great agony , and conveyed to the Dispensary , where , two hours after he was brought in , the stump was amputated about the middle of the calf , in a most masterly and scientific style , by a , U . Steele , Esq . j of Hampton-street , one of the honorary surgeons of the institution . We are happy to hear that the unfortunate patient is now pronounced out of danger .

      Shocking Death of a Girl by Fire . —On Monday night Mr . W . Payne held an inquest at Guy ' s Hospital , on the body of Eliza Evans , a fine little girl , aged six years . On Saturday morning last , about half-past six o ' clock , the deceased , unknown to her mother , lighted a candle by means of a lucifor , and then proceeded to light the tire , in the act of wliieU . tUe flame of tho candle caught her pinafore , which , with the whole of her clothes , were burnt completely off | hcr body . She was immediately brought to the hospital , where she was found to be frightfully injured , and she died a few hours subsequently in the greatest agony . Verdict—Accidental death .

      Great Seizure op Contraband Goods . —A very large seizure has been made by Mr . G . Scanlon , and Mr . D . H . Watson , searchers of the customs ; and Mr . C . Atkinson Davis , an > extremely vigilant and active officer , acting under them , within the last few days . In consequence of information received by Davis that a vast number of Roman cameos for brooches , and a large quantity of French Mosaic work , had been passed without payment of duty , the officers proceeded to the house of a person who called himself Beauvefc David , in the City-road , a stone merchant , and after a slight search , found on the premises 1 , 610 eameos , of the value of nearly £ 1 , 400 , and several enamelled portraits , Mosaic buckles , Ac , to the amount in value of £ 290 . They seized the ( roods for non-payment of duty , amounting to the sum

      oi £ 323 10 s . Id ., very much to the discomfiture of Mr . David . They afterwards proceeded , following up the information , to tho house of a person named Marv 6 , whom they knew to be a constant passenger in steamers between Boulogne and London , and who resides near Golden-square , when they made a seizure of seventy-three cameos of the value , duty included , of £ 200 ISs . Upon further and more particular search , they found in the possession of Marv 6 certain documents , the examination of which induced them to visit the house of a person of the name of Creutzcr , in Myddclton-street , Clerkenwell . They had not gone tar in the gratification of their curiosity in this place before they laid their hands upon cameos which were considered , including the duty , to be worth £ 1 , 861 . Upon the premises of the first-named

      contraband dealer they laid their hands upon the boxes in which the above-mentioned articles had been smu ; - gled over , and upon'questioning Mr . Creutzcr and the man who styled himself Beauvct David , and -who it appeared has also the name of Coppa , and was in charge of the premises in which the cameos were found , the latter stated that they had been delivered to him by an unknown agent . The same answer was given by Mr . Creutzer and Mr . Marve , and all three ivere evidently in the same state of preparation in case of emergency . One of the officers , 'in rummaging Mr . Creutzer ' s private transactions , pulled out a day book , which had been kept only since February last , and in the middle of the book were

      entries ot goods which Creutzcr had received to the amount of 214 , 000 f ., which had been brought into his custody without payment of duty , as was palpable from the fact that he could only produce bills and receipts for the payment of duty on such goods as had been seized to the value of the paltry sum of £ 10 . It may be supposed that the officers examined the books of Mr . Creutzer with no small degree Of curiosity . After a little while they perceived an entry which led them to the house of a very wellknown and dashing jewellery concern in Cornhill , where they laid their unhallowed hands upon seventythree cameos set in gold , of the value of about £ 200 . The officers are proceeding with an unerring scent , and their success will , it is believed , be cnorniOUSi

      More Aristocratic Law asd Justice !—When wiia iue bsd come ?—llocilestep . sessions , sept . 29 . —A little boy , named James Mellum , was placed in the felons' dock of the county court at Rochester , before Mr . W . M . Smith , chairman , and four other justices , charged with having knocked down some walnuts from a tree , the property of Sir John Marshall , Knt ., K . C . H ., at Gillingham . Sir John Marshall was present , and waslaccommodated with a sitting on the bench . The damage done to the tree by knocking down the fruit was valued at sixpence . The little boy pleaded " Guilty . " It appeared that this youngster was observed committing this enormous outrage by a man named Linnett , and the prisoner was immediately apprehended and placed in the lock-UD house , where he remained a . nrisonei 1

      until this morning . The chairman observed , that the prisoner having pleaded guilty , he should inflict » penalty on him for the offence , that of stealing those walnuts . Captain Sir John Marshall ' s only object in bringing the prisoner before tho court was to protect his orchard and fruit , which he had a right to do , and the magistrates therefore adjudged the prisoner to pay the penalty of Is ., and Gd . the value of tho walnuts ; together with the costs , 13 s . Oil ., making a total of 15 s . The mother of the boy , on hearing the decision , burst into tears , and said she could not pay that sum , she having a large family of children , and nothing to support them except what she works hard for as a laundress , and Cs . per week she receives from her husband , who is a marine artilleryman . The chairman said that as she could not pay the money he must commit the boy to the common caol for

      fourteen days . Upon this announcement , the poor woman's feelings were so great that she could scarcely speak . She prayed the court not to send her child to gaol , as she would do all she could to pay the money if the magistrates would grant her time , —The Chairman : What time do you want ?—Applicant : A month , sir , for I have my quarter ' s rent to pay , and the baker ' s bill and other articles of consumption for my family , which I go in debt for weekly . 15 s . ia a great deal , and I implore you , gentlemen , torcduce | it . The Chairman , said he could not , but would give a month ; and if the money was not then paid , the boy must go to gaol . The mother then became so excited that she left tho court , and immediately fell into strong fits , which lasted some time , requiring several women to hold her . The poor woman resides at Gillingham , and bears a very excellent character .

      FmiW Accident .-TVe regret to State that a dreadful and fatal railway accident occurred on Monday morning last , at Kenyon junction , near Leigh . A young woman named Ellen Platt , of lyldcsle . v , started from the Bag-lane ( Chowbcnt ) station by the half-past seven o ' clock train , with the intcntion of proceeding to Liverpool . On arriving at the junction of the Leigh and Kenyon line with the Liverpool and Manchester line , the passengers have to get out of the carriages , and to await the arrival of the respective trains to convey them onwards . The young woman above-mentioned , being unacquainted with the customs of the line , got out of the carriage on the wrong side , and walked round the carriages to cross the line to bo in readiness on the arrival of the train which was to convey the passengers to Liverpool . the remainder of the journey . At this moment a train of third-class carriages was seen on-ihe

      Liverpool line of rails , and tho whistle was blArn . The eye-witnesses state that the train was coming at a very quick speed . The woman was just crossing the track on which the approaching train was proceeding , when a working man who was proceeding from Bolton to TVarrington , rushed forward and endeavoured to pull her back ; before , however , he could do so , the buffer of the engine threw her a distance of seven or eight yards , and the man a short distance . They were both immediately carried to the station , and Mr . Bradshaw , superintendent of the Uolton line , who fortunately happened to be with tlie train , immediately despatched an express engine to Leigh for medical assistance , and Mr . liridcoakc , surgeon , was on the spot in a short time , but in less than half an hour after the accident the woman expired . She \ v ? is far advanced in pregnancy . The man was very much contused , but he is expected to recover ,
