      FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE .

      FRANCE . Three men and one woman were found guilty , by the tribunal of correctional police , of the crime of evil speaking against the Prince President of the Republic . They were all sentenced to terms of imprisonment varying from three to six months , and three of them were besides fined lOOfr . each . ROME . Letters from Rome speak of new arrests at Spoleto and othei parts of the Roman territory .

      Worship-street . —Manslaughter . —Yesterday , Adam Glark , a butcher , in Tabernable-walk , Finsbmy , was placed at the bar before Mr . Hammill , charged with assaulting and causing the death of a boyloyears of age , whose name was unknown . —Jno . Bartlett said , I am a letter-sorter in the General Post-office , and was passing through Tabernacle-walk on my way home about a quarter past eight , when I saw a boy , without hat or cap , running as fast as he could , and pursued by a man dressed like a butcher , and resembling the prisoner . The loy passed me at a rapid pace , but on reaching the corner , the man struck him , on the side of the face . The boy had slid down when he was

      caught by the man , to avoid being hit , and the butcher spoke to him , but not angrily . What was said I could not hear , but the boy made something like a denial , and I think his words were , " I did not do it . " The butcher hit him with , both his hands , on either side of the head , and on receiving the second blow the boy fell to the ground and rolled over on his side . A mob collected and the butcher went away , as I did also , thinkins ? nothing of it . —Other witnesses corroborated the evidence .

      Mr . Lewis contended that the whole of the evidence only went to prove that the unhappy affair was a fortuitous occurrence , and the result of the purest accident , and trusted , if the magistrate felt bound to commit his client upon it , that he would consent to aecept substantial bail for Ms future appearance . Mr . HanmnTl said , after some consideration , that under the circumstances he thought he would be justified in acceding to this request ; but he should fix the bail at the prisoner himself in £ 200 and two responsible sureties in , £ 100 each . The bail was shortly after procured , and the prisoner , who displayed much firmness , was thereupon liberated .

      EXPLOSION AND LOSS OF LIFE AT LAMBETH . Yesterday , Mr . W . Payne held an inquest at Guy's Hospital , on view of the body of Chas . Noble Farebrother , aged 30 years , a mathematical instrument maker , who lost his life by an explosion on the premises of Mr . Darker , of No . 9 , Paradise-street , Lambeth-walk , under the following circumstances : — Henry Sexton , a brass finisher , stated that he had worked with the deceased in the service of Mr . Darker . On Thursday afternoon last , the deceased had charge of a wrought iron boiler , which was intended for an hydro-electric machine , ordered for

      university College , which they were fitting up according to the original plan . The deceased was at the forge about three o ' clock in the afternoon , and had charged the boiler ( which was only nine inches in diameter ) with the usual quantity of water for the purpose of testing it , when witness said , " Charley , how is the steam ? " when the deceased replied , * ' Oh , just up . " Witness left the forge to go to the vice , when Mr . Darker entered the shop , and in about a minute afterwards a loud explosion took place . Witness ran to the forge , but the smake and dust was so thick that he could not see them for a

      few minutes . The forge was blown down , and a portion of the roof had been carried away . Witness heard the deceased calling for help , and exclaim , " Drag me out . " Witness then discovered the deceased nearly covered over with the bricks and rubbish , but with difficulty got him into the yard . He groaned , and seemed much injured * by the weight which had fallen upon him . Mr . Jeffries , the surgeon , of Paradise-street , was called , who advised the deceased ' s removal to the hospital . Witness could not account for the explosion , as the boiler had been tested in the regular way . It was the

      16 th of an inch in thickness , and the means adopted to try them were by testing them with a safety valve , which has a certain weight attached to a lever . " The deceased thoroughly understood the nature of the work he was engaged in , and although only a small portion of the boiler had been found , witness did not believe it was defective in any way . The boiler was always tested and heated by placing it on the forge fire . They had tested many others in the same way , but never had an accident before . Mr . Darker was also much injured about the head and body , and at present was lying in a very dangerous state .

      William Weaver , another workman , was examined at great length , but he was unable to account for the bursting of the boiler . He did not consider it dangerous to test them in sucli a manner . If the iron Avas defective , they had no other means of detecting their imperfections . James Farebrother said the deceased made a statement to his wife before he died to the effect that he had got the steam to a proper height , Avhen Mr . Darker requested him to test it more . Deceased told him that it would be dangerous , but Mr . Darker shifted the weight to the end of the lever , and directly afterwards the boiler exploded . The deceased ' s Avife requested Avitness to make these facts known to the jury , as she considered them important .

      Mr , Ramsgill , the house surgeon , deposed to the deceased being admitted on Tursday afternoon , suifering from severe contusions and bruises on various parts of the body ; but , although every assistance was rendered , he expired on Friday ( yesterday ) morning . Witness had since made - apost mortem examination , and found that the deceased had died from an extensive rupture of the intestines , which had no doubt been caused by some heavy substance falling upon him . The deceased told Avitness he had been testing a small boiler intented for an hydro-electric machine , when it burst .

      Other evidence having been adduced , the coroner remarked on the case . He thought there Avas no blame to be attached to any one , for the deceased was considered fully competent to test the boiler which had exploded , it was probable that the iron might have been defective , and caused the melancholy disaster : but they were to say whether any individual Avas to blame . The jury , after a brief consultation , returned a verdict of " Accidental Death . "

      Railway Accident . —On Thursday evening , as the express trian of the London and North Western Railway Company , Avhich left Euston-square at five o ' clock , Avas on its way to Manchester from CreAve , a little after nine o ' clock , it ran off the line under most alarming circumstances . It appears to have attained a speed of about forty miles an hour when , about three miles north of Crewe , a buffer , with the long iron rod attached , Avhich had probably dropped off a preceding train , obstructed the line . The driver became aware that one of the fore Avheel guards

      was in contact with something , and he slackened speed . About 200 yards further he ascertained that the obsturction Avas still driving before him , and Avas so alarmed that he instantly reversed his engine , and brought the train to a stand 100 yards further on , just as one of the fore-wheel guards had broken and the two forewheels of the engine Avent off the rails , and became embedded in the sand forming the ballast of the line . So well had the driver managed , that he in reality brought the train to a stand almost Avithout a sensible shock . The passengers , hoAvever , Avere much alarmed by the great quantity of sand which was thrown up , and which found its Avay into the camages ' , till the seats and floors were coated nearly an inch thick . The train was

      detained about two hours . The guard had to run back to Crewe , and bring up another engine , and a force of men to get the engine of the train on the line again . The passengers , 20 in number , were so pleased Avith the conduct of the engine driver , in sticking to his post after he must have been almost enveloped in a cloud of sand , that they offered him a handsome collection made on the spot , but he declined it . It is almost unnecessary to say that the buffer had been pushed before the engine until it had broken the fore-wheel guard , and the Avheels then went over it , and the engine Avas thrown off the rails by these means .

      An English Bull Fight . —On Monday morning a desperate encounter took place between tAvo two-year-old bulls on the land of Mr . Guy , of Hamsey , Lewes . It appears that Mr . Elwyn , whose farm adjoins Mr . Guy ' s , has a bull Avhich broke through into a field where Mr . Guy ' s bull was grazing . A fearful conflct took p lace between the animals , They fought with the most fearful violence for upAvards of a quarter of an hour ; and our informant states that one of them had his horn broken broken off close to the head . When they were almost exhausted , the man on the farm succeeded in separating them . —Brighton Gazette .

      Great Westeigs Railway . —The telegraph , on this line from . Swindon to Gloucester , has just been laid down . It was sufficiently perfect on the oocasion of her Majesty ' s journey to be used to telegraph the royal progress . Mr . Rice , m . i \ , at Dover . — The demonstration given in honour of the return to parliament , for the fourth time , of Edward Rojrd Rice , Esq .. took place on Thursday last in the spacious building used as the New Market , which Avas commodiously fitted up for the occasion . Steriker Finnis , Esq ., occupied the chair .

      The Three Englishmen who have engaged to steer their course doAvn the Danube to Constantinople , reached Vienna , the 29 th ult . The voyagers hoisted the Union Jack on entering the Vienna canal . Singulaii Accident . —One night last week , as Mrs . Cracknel ! , of Exning , near Newmarket , was going to bed , she took up a small china image , Avhich she frequently used instead of an extinguisher , and putting it on the candle , it instantly burst Avith a terrible report , flying over the room to the danger of the occupants , and singeing the hair and eyebiws of Mrs . Cracknell . It appears that the image had been filled with gunpoAvder , but i \ o \ v or v ? l \ e , \\ is still a . mystery . —Bury Post .

      Sheffield Cutlers' 1 east . —This banquet , given annually in honour of the inauguration of the-newly-erected master cutler , took place at the Cutler ' s Hall , on Thursday last . Philanthropic Society . —Yesterday a quarterly general court of the committee of management ' of the society ' s school , at Red-hill Farm , Reigate , was held at the London Tavern ; William Gladstone , Esq . in the chair .

      A Confirmed Murderess . —The Avoman , Louisa Ferris , Avho was transported for cutting a policeman ' s throat , at Bristol , having behaved herself in a most exemplary menner while in Van Diemen ' s Land , obtained a ticket of leave ; almost immediately aftenvards she cut another man ' s throat , at Melbourne , and she had been left for execution when this intelligence was despatched . —Bath Chronide .

      Great Fire in Hamburg . —A fire broke out at Hamburg on Monday , in the Deich-Strasse , near the spot where the conflagration of 1842 commenced , but was got under in about three hours . The damage is estimated at 80 , 000 marks banco . From the pressure of the crowd on one of the bridges the balustrade gave Avay , and about thirty persons were . thrown into the canal .

      A Tale of a Proselyte . —A case , at which of course the profane smile , has just occurred in this neighbourhood , showing how good intentions and religious zeal may at times be imposed on by the worldly-minded . A gentleman , Avho takes more than ordidary interest in the spiritual welfare of the JeAvish race , fell in with one of the wanderers from Canaan , and , attracted by his hook nose , sharp eye , and black hair , began to angle for a convert , texts being thrown at him as tenderly as a fisherman flings his artificial fly befove rising trout . The son

      of Israel fairly began to nibble , till at interview after interview he appeared to be fairly caught , lie listened with an attentive ear and a solemn face , and at last the good man proposed that he should be formally introduced into the Christian Church , preparatory to his producing him at the next anniversary meeting as a live Jew converted by his eloquence . This was agreed to ; but first he had some worldly gear that encumbered him , a little lot of jewellery worth £ 60 , that he must convert into cash to seek a fresh mode of life after embracing his neAV faith ; and

      out of pure benevolence , and . as a return for the interest taken in his welfare , he offered it for £ 40 . At first there was some hesitation as to taking advantage of the warm feelings of the convert—his gratitude appeared to have overcome the proverbial discretion of his race ; but at length the work was completedthe £ 40 was paid , and the stumbling block removed . The denoument may be easily divided . The jewellery looks delicious by candlelight , but its worth at the utmost is about £ 10 , and the Jew has fled unbaptized either to Duke's-place or the golddiggings . — Chelmsford Chronide .
