      FiiiL Accidest xexb LsiczsrES . —An -inquiry jnto-the circumstances attending the death of Ed-• wari imett , tbe unfortunate rn » Ti HUed on therail-¦ sraj »«| r M& $ ace on Tbttrsaay nigli ^ tookilace on JSosy , * t six o ' clock . From the evidence ofthe two principal ¦ witnesses , the driver and stoker of a coal trail , ttIScq left Leiosster for Rugby , about seren o ' clock on Hmsdav night , it appeared that the _ deceased acted as breaksman to tne same train , and accompanied them on that occasion . After j > assing jfcrongkihe Xnighion-Ml Tunnel , -winch is little more than a ™ 3 * from Leicester , one of the coupling chains connecting the coal tracks broke , and the train jras stopped to remedy the accident . This having been done , the engine was again set in motion , but

      OTing to the humid state of the atmosphere , and consequent slipperiness of the rails , the wheels did not "bite , " and the deceased got down off the truck on -which he "was riding , and taking a small spade or shovel "with him , crossed the line for the purpose of obtaining a little sand to throw upon the rails . "FFhDein the act of doing this the second goods "train Kom London eame along the down line at a rapid pace , but , from The fog "which prevailed at the the time , it ras not observed bv the driver of the coal train until vrithin a few yards' distance . "When the train had swept past , the driver called out to deceased , and , obtaining no answer , commenced a search for him . In a verv few moments he was

      discovered in a senseless state by the road sine , with a frightful wonnd over the right temple , from which the brains protruded * and other contusions abont the face . He was immediately placed on one of the trucks and conveyed back to Leicester , where he lingered until ten o ' clock , and then expired . In the absence of all positive knowledge , it is conjectured that , m consequence of the noise from the engine of the coal train , the deceased was altogether unaware of the approach -ofthe down train , the connecting bar between the wheels of the locomotive attached to which appears to hare strnek his head , and inflicted tie wound above described . After hearing evidence to this effect , ihejuij expressed themselves satisfied , and returned a verdict of " Accidental death . "

      Ax other Bjjlwj . t AcdDEXi . —Another accident occurred on Thursday betwixt Leicester and Rugby . 3 Vo statements have reached us , but the one most generally credited is , that a luggage-train could not get along , In consequence of the slippery state of the rails ; that the guard or stoker got off to scatter sand upon the rails , and that another train overtook them , but was not observed in consequence of the -deii ^ e fog , and the poor fellow ' s brains were dashed out . These events harp caused irr « u excitement . Tht Fatal Accn > zxr 05 the GnriT Westeiln Eiii .

Four of the men immediately got off the line altogether ; but tbe two men , Brooks and Tuc-k-Trell , instead of following their example , moved only ¦ from the ud line to the down line . At the time there -jras a very xnick aud dense fog prevailing , so that objects could nox l > e > een beyond a very short distance , in ' conseqEence of which the men were not aware of the approach also of the down train , which leaves the Paddinsrton terminus at eight o ' clock , until it was so close to them that all chance of escape was hopeless ,

      and they were instantly knocked down and passed over by the train . The ' persons having charge of the train were not aware of the accident until their arrival at the Sloagb . station , when some of the railway officers observing blood on the tender of the ensiiie , communicated the fact to the snard , when persons were immediately sent along the line to ascertain the cause , who found the bodies of the two deceased lying in a frightfully mutilated state on the down line between the Slough and West Drayton stations - Both bodies were promptly removed to a shed at the West Drayton station . It is stated that t ' ae bodies presented a most frightful spectacle , and that tire watch of one of the unfortunate sufferers was driven into his Ixady . An inquest on the bwlles was held on i-atnrdsy last , wben a verdk-i was returned of '" Accidental death . "

The deceased , named - Joseph "Woodford , a married man without family , was a guard 5 n the employ of the iEdland Counties Railway Company , andlefr Hugby on "Wednesday morning in charge of the seven o'clock train . On arriving at the Syvton station , some luggage was handed up to him on the top of the carriage upon which he was seated , that ie mlgit arrange it in the usual manner . He gave ilte signal to the drrrer to start the train , while he was 50 -engaged , and ZSlr . Wither * , the superintendents handed hun a note , and the train moved off . The

      deceased being still in an erect position on the top of the carriage , was observed for some distance down the line , and was only missed on the arrival of tbe train at SSeby , by the superintendent of that station , and on a" search bein ? made he was discovered on the top 0 / one of xhe carriajres "with hi * brains dashed out 2 nd quit ^ dead . There is hut one bridge between Srstoa and Sileby . It L-. situated about midway , and there can be no doubt that the accident occurred by the deceased ' s head , while he was still eneared on the roof of the carriage , eoniins in contact with the bridge , r ^ ear t he centre of the arch some fur from the tletvased ' s cap has been discovered , reducing the mode of his death to a certaintv .

      Acctkeyt oj rnf- Ghzz-vwich Railwat . —f * n Sunday night , about eight o ' clock , on the arrival of the up-train trom Greenwich , an accident occurred to an elderly woman , named Y 3 en Donaghoe , aged 69 , the wife of a Greenwich pensioner , which is likely to prove fatal to her . Previous to the train arriving at tlie- retnilnr platform , a man in the same carriage with BPr opened the door and jumped out . She , believing that the train was at its destination , followed him , when she feB between the carriage and the-stcne platform . In falling she broke her right thigh , by comipg in contact with tbe steps of the earriase .

      Riinr _ iT AtciDzsr at SrvTVEBT . tvn . —On Saturday last a little boy named George Crowther , of Hendonierrai-e , near 5 underiand , "was MUed on "the Dartaam 2 nd Sunderland Railway , by being run over by two wacgons as they were passing on the line near Hendon . it appears the little fellow was attempting to get on to one of the waggons , when he feU down , and both waggons-passed OTer him , breaking his legs , and injuring him severely in other parts of his body . He died shortly after from exhaustion , his remains presenting a shocking spectacle . It is rather remarkable that about a year and a half ago he escaped miraculously from being killed on the same spot oy a train of waggons , at which time he was knocked down and Isis L « ad laid . open , and tie greater part of his face Ei'Jen mutilated . On another occasion lie narrowly fcaciped drowning , and was rescued from under a ship ' s bonoin when all hope of Ms recovery was given up .

      endravouring to get him home . The woman was very ill , and begged him < Hadfield ) to get her husbaiid to go inane . The prisoner came to tbe deceased , and llad&ld saw him strike her in the breast . She criwi out , " Don ' t strike me , my love ' . '' and prayed several times , "' Lord , save me' Lord , help me !" He said , " Are you going home ? do you think 1 am going to have you following me up and down the town ? " She said , " I can't go home , my love , " and he again hit her in the dde . She changed her place to tbe front of a table ; and , after she had prayed once or twice more , he got hold of her head and "jowed" [ bear ] it violently against the window bottom . The master eame and separated them , and told the prisoner to so out of the house . The

      deceased could not walk , but went and sat down . on some steps opposite . ^ Prisoner got hold of her arm ; he said , " Come , Eliza , will you go ? " She said , " i can"t , love .

      Mcbber at PiiBis bt Setfocaho 5 . —The Court of Assizes of the Seine was occupied on Saturday with the trial of Etienne Chevreoil , aged 24 , a journeyman shoemaker , for having , on the 12 th of July last , murdered a woman named Celina Bronn , aged 33 , by placing over her face a pitch plaster . The singularity of the means used in the committal of this crime , and the fact of the prisoner ' s having immediately afterwards gone and delivered hiniseli into custodv , contributed to lend a certain interest to this case . It appeared from the act of accusation that the prisoner had , on the evening of the murder , come to the guard-house of the Conservatoire des Artset Metiers , and declared that he had just killed a woman who lived with him as his wife . He had met with the

      deeeased , he said , in the street , a month before , and proposed to her to go home and pass the night with him , She consented , and remained with him at lib request for some days . He then wished to get rid of her , but she positively refused to quit the place . Having scarcely any money to pav his rent and other expenses , and being besides in debt , they had agreed to die together by means of charcoal Tuey got some brandy on credit , and drank it to give them courage , and , having stopped the key-hole and windows carefully , placed the charcoal near the bed , ready to be lit when they pleased . The brandv rapidlv took effect on the senses of the deceased , and she was

      obliged to lie down on the bed . Finding that she lav quiet , the idea occurred to him to melt some shoe-makers' , and spreading it on a piece of raj ? to place it over her face . He did tliis , and after holding it on the woman ' s features for a short time , found that she wa 3 dead . He then thought , he said , of lighting the charcoal , but his courage failed , and he determined to give himself up to justice . The soldiers at the guard-house at first imagined that the prisoner intended some hoax , but on some of them proceeding to his lodging in the Rue Aumaire , they fbtmd the woman Bronn lying dead , "with the pitchmask on her face . On the trial a number of eireunistances came out which very materially impugned

      the veracity of the prisoner ' s statement relative to his intention to die with the deceased . It appeared that the prisoner was always of a morose , taciturn dispostion , given up to the most degrading habits of dissipation , dissatisfied with his wages as a journeyman shoemaker \ 50 sous a day ) , and still wanting energy to better bis condition . In appearance he bore all the marks of an ill-regulated life , beinc sallow , thir ^ and imdergrowu . lie was ibnd of reading , but tbe hooks which he generally perused were of a lascivious character . He was also said to l > e fond of jKjetry . and to hare written Miine verse * himself , but thi * fact onlv re > t- on his own assertion . 1 he

      deceased was rJso sum to have occasionally produced roue short piet-fs in vers «\ The quantity of wax used for the pLi-t « -r ¦ " ; : > so much nmr .

It'was proved , too , t "> iat when he camp to ihe guard-house he was perfectly sober , whereas , by his own acknowledgment , lie Ivi'l sriven the deceased so considerable a quantity o ) orandv as to intoxicate her . This was more easy for

      him to do , as the deceased was known to be fond of spirituous liquors , and had been repeatedly seen in a state of intoxication during the time she " was living with Chevreuil . The question of the prisoner ' s mental intelligence was raised by his counsel . A person named Oreillard , one of his most intimate acquaintances , swore that he was weak in intellect , and tlie person for whom ke worked seemed inclined to the same opinion ; but , 05 the other band , there was brought forward a ¦ written account of the crime , and of the circumstances which led to it , drawn up by the prisoner at the guard-house on the nurht he delivered himself into custody . This paper , which is curious from the minuteness of its detail-, shows no wasit of intellii ? P ! : ' - <\ It is filled with faults of orthojrrai'hT ,

      but is not devoid of occasional force of expres > ion . Afrera great number of witnesses had been exiuiiined , the Advocate-General addressed the Court at irreat length in support of the accusation , declaring that no ifroof existed that anv agreement had been made between the deceased an J the prisoner to die together but that , on the contrary , every thing led to the belief that the prisoner liad first intoxicated the deceased , and then murdered her , according to a plan which he had previously determined on . The prisoner ' s counsel bavins replied , the jury retired for half an hour , and then returned a verdict of " Guilty of murder . " The Court passed sentence of death on the prisoner , who did not manifest the slightest concern , and walked away in custody with a linn step .

      A . votheb Female Dbownhd . —On Monday morning last , the body of an elderly woman , the wife of James Hall , a resident in Lwd-strt-ct , t Jidham , was found drowned in a Jodge of water in the intack Field . The unfortunate woman , who was about sixty vears of age had been quarrelling on Saturdav night iast with a daughter of hers , who bears a bad character . A fter this circumstance she disappeared . Shewassearrlied for in vain on Sunday , and was not discovered till Monday lnornini ; . The deceased was a bread-Uik «* r , and a most industrious woman .

      MxLASCHOTT AND f ATAL AcCIDEST . —About SeVCll o'clock on Tuesday mornins a most frightful a < i-i-: « -i ; t occurred at the milL of the Messrs . Martin , adjoining Killileagh . While a man of the name o ) John Crosbey was attending the fires , by some inadvertence his clothes were caught by one of the belts , which carried him round the drum attached to the euiriw . When he was taken out life was extinct . He wadreadfully mangled . The poor man Las left a wife and seven children . The case or Infanticide at Wolverhampto . \ . — Tni Inquest . —The inquest was resumed and brought to a conclusion on Friday , when the following verdict was returned : —'" That the said

      unknown female child was born alive in the month of October , in the year aforesaid , and died immediately after her birth , and was found dead on the 2 ? th day of tbe same nionth , in the same year , hi the night soil of a certain privy situate in the parish aforesaid , in the county aforesaid , and that her death was caused by extravasation of blood upon the brain , the result of external violence , but how or by whom such violence was caused sufficient evidence doc > not appear to the said jurors . " [ Mr . Sheriff was removed from the police-station to Stafford on the night of his commitment , and Mi » Railton and Mr . Uildreth early on the following morning ; but Mrs . Hfldreth has remained in the town , in consequence of the ill state of her health . ]

      The Infanticide at Wolverhampton . —The prisoners , Miss Railton , Mr . Sheriff , and Mr . and Mrs . Hildreth , were again "brought before the coroner's inquest on Thursdav , but no further evidence of any importance was adduced , and the inquest was again adjourned until Tuesdav . On Friday the prisoners were placed at the bar of the public office before Mr . Hill , Mr . Barker , Dr . Dehane , and Dr . BrL-coe , magistrates of the county . The only additional evidence called was John Titley , a cowman , who deposed that he found the body of a female infant in the niffhtsoil in Mr . ^ uinton ' s outhouse . The pr isonei-s declining to say anvthing in their defence , were each committed to Stafford , Miss Railton for concealing the birth of her child , and the other prisoners as accessories .

      Like fttder Extrao kdinaht Afflictions . — Mr . Higgs held an inquest on Monday , at the workhouse , Poland-street , on the body of Richard Redding , ; ured twenty-two , an inmate , who for the last runeu-eii years laboured under tetanus ( lock jaw ] . Charlotte Clarke said that on Friday the deceased , while talking to a female in what is termed the quarantine ward , suddenly fell down in a fit , and died in a few minutes . Mr . French , the parish surgeon , said he arrived "when the deceased was at the point of death , and witness thought he died from the bursting oi some large blood-vessel . In his infancy deceased kul eonie disease of the jaw , which caused the union of the two jaw bones , and in consequence of this the only way to satisfy him with food was through an aperture made by extracting two of his teeth . This had the effect of weakening his constitution , ami he was almost always in ill health . Verdict , '" Died by the visitation of < iod . "

      Sisgtilab . Case . —Monday afternoon Mr . Wakk-y held an adjourned inquest at the Pembroke Arms Tavern , Pembroke-square , Kensington , on the body of Mary Garfield . It appeared , on the opening of the inquiry on Friday last , that the deceased had been living for tbe last twelve months as cook in die service of Mr . Collett , a gentleman holding an official situation in the House of Commons , and residing at 2 sb . 28 , Pembroke-square . During the whole time of ber living there she "was never known to _< ro to !> ed , bnt she would sleep sitting in a chair in the kiichen , and her manners were in all respects most eccentric , the other servants scarcely speaking to her , on account of her crossness and snappish manner of

      answering them . On the niirht of Wednesday la » t , about half-past eleven o ' clock , Rose Jackson , the nursemaid , after having supped with deceased , who during the evening appeared in her usual good state ofTiealth and spir its , took the eandle off the table to go up to bed , ¦ when the deceased called her back , and asked her to leave the candle . She did so , and on coming down again into the kitchen the next morning , about seven o ' clock , she found the deceased in the kitchen , dressed as she had left her on the previous night , lying on the floor , and quite- insensible . The inquiry was then adjourned for a ]> osi rnvrum examination of the body to be made . This was done , and , in accordance with the medical testimony , the Jury returned a verdict of ** Natural death . "

      Htdbofbobia . —During the last five or six days the greatest alarm and excitement has txisted throughout the neighbourhood of Turnham-green and Chiswick , in consequence of a mad dog having bitten several persons and animals . It appears that on Wednesday week , the 20 th inst ,, a small Scotch terrier dog , the property of Mr . George Battersbee , the landlord of the Prince of Wales public-house , Turnham-green , which was 18 months old , and had been in his possession from a puppy , was observed to

      Untitled Article

      be in a very strange and excited state . Nothing was , however , thought of it , and the dog was allowed to range about during tie day , and it has since been ascertained that he has bitten several dogs at Chiswick , Hammersmith , and Brentford , and also a donkey , belonging to a water carrier , named Clark , at Chiswick . About 12 o ' clock on that day ( Wednesday ) the dog followed home from his master's house a young man named Fowler , in the employ of Mr . Dean , a market-gardener at Strand-on-the-Green , who resides nearly opposite the Prince of Wales , and there flew at him , and bit him severely on the thumb of the right hand , Fowler shortly afterwards complained to ]\ Ir . Battersbee of the dog having bitten him , and laid his thumb open , but nothing serious

      was thought of it at the time . About an hour after , however , a-little boy , between four and five years of age , the son of Mr . King , a tailor , living two doors fromthe'Prinee of Wales , was bitten in both legs by the dog , and subsequently , on the same afternoon , Mr . G . Battersbee himselr , while sitting in the bar , was bitten by the animal in the middle fing-er of the right hand ; a woman named Brown , a dealer in fish , living at Chiswick , while passing the house , was bitten in the leg ; Mr . C . Battersbee ( brother of the landlord ) , in the right thumb ; a man named Stowell , in the employ of Mr . J . Cloud , liveryman , and Mr . Battersbee , sen ., in the thick part of the thigh . Still no suspicion was entertained that the dog was in a rabid state until the evening of the same day , -when the -dog Syas seen to bite the doov-posts ; and it becoming- known that several persons as well

      as animals had been bitten by him , Mr . Battersbee directed that tbe dog should be tied up in the stable , which was done . From that time until Sunday last the dog refused either food or drink , but foamed at the mouth , and gnawed the straw on which he was placed , and even the bricks underneath ; and on Sunday he was destroyed . All the persons known to have been bitt en have been placed under medical treatment , and have had the parts cauterized without any unfavourable symptoms having appeared . Numerous dogs in the neighbourhood , supposed to have been bitten , have been destroyed . Mr . Batterabee has also destroyed his cats , it being impossible to sav to what extent the virus lias been communicated . The young man Fowler , owing to inflammation extending up his arm , has since become a patient at St . George ' s Hospital .

      Body of a Girl fovnd in the River . —Early on Sunday morning the body of a girl of the age ol fifteen or sixteen was found off Limehouse . From its appearance it bad not boen in the water move than three or four hours , the suspicion being that in tlw coin-so uf the night' the girl committed . suicide , and that the body was borne from . some distant part bv the tide .

      Ll ! Nni ) N . — < iKEAT KollUERY AT A IjaNKINU IIoi > K . —( ireat excitement prevailed in th < - City nn Monday , upon the fact being made known that a robbery had taken place , during the course of the previous day , in the house of Messrs . Rogers , Oldingr and Co ., St . Clement ' s-lane , and that property to tht amount of upwards of , £ 40 , 000 had been stolen . 1 appears that the money was deposited in the iron sue , and , as usual , a clerk was appointed to vaten over its safety during the day , and another to perform the like duty : during the night . One of the partners remaining at home on Sunday , the day clerk

      asked permission to go out for a few hours , which was granted . At the accustomed hour in the evening the other clerk came , and remained during the niirht ; but when business was resumed on Monday , and tlie iron safe opened with the ordinary key , it was found entirely empty ; and yet no force whatever liad l > een used in the employment of the means adopted to rid the chest of its valuable contents . Of course , all is conjecture upon the . subject . Notes to the amount of £ 40 , 710 have lieen stopped at the Bank ; and Forrester , the active City police officer , is eiiiraeed in endeavourim , ' to trace the party guilty of this darine crime .

      Farther I' . uitkx'lars . — This enormous robbery continues the subject of general conversation in the city ; but , as was the case on Monday , it is deemed a matter of prudence to conceal certain particulars , the publication of which would probably militate against the apprehension of the oli ' enders . It has been a work of some excitement , under existing eiivumstances , for the clerks of Messi-s . Rogers and Co . to make np the heavy list of missing notes ; but on Tuesday morning the whole were completed , and p lacarded extensively throughout the metropolis . The house of Rogers and Co . is situated in Clement ' s-

      lane , rather a quiet thoroughfare , and , on Sundays especially , comparatively deserted , tlie houses being chiefly let out as offices , and occupied in other than business hours merely by the male or female keepers . This would so far anon ! facilities for the unobserved approach of the thieves , a court running also within two t \ oor * of the bank . The house of Rogers and Co . has always l > een considered one of decided property , though doing a wry private business ; and the head of the firm , now advanced in age , is well known as the author of the Pknrurta of Af-moni . lousiness apjii-arsi jo be proeeetlini .

      The late Komse . iy at Mk ^ us .. fto-. F . ns . —London , Wed . neskay NitiiiT . — - Not the » li «; ht « . \ st due has yet in-en obtained to the pei-pctrators of this extraordinary robbery . All idea is now abandoned of the thieves haying started for the continent . Mr . Iloblor , who has been employed by the firm , started immediately the robbery was discovered , for the continent , from which place lie returned List night , and it is believed from the in ] urination he there obtained that the guilty parties had not started for France ; and this ; is > uranee is further continued by the fact that Daniel Forrester is in town . The supposition now entertained is , that the jmn ' me of the robbery is secreted , and that the n < 1-- » will not be put in circulation for the . invsi-Ht . A full account ,

      connected with the numbers of the stolen notes , has been sent to all the j , rc ; it cities on the continent , which , perhaps , will have the etlcet of preventing any oi them being passed ; but whether they might not be negotiated amomrst the South American States is worthy of consideration . One of the superior officers of the ( 'ity police received a letter in the course oi ' yesterday , " informing him that the whole of the property which was stolen from Messrs . Rogers' bankinghouse was deposited in a house in the neighbourhood of Wai worth ; and otf two of the force were sent in a cab toaet upon thepremises , although tlie information bad all the appearance of a hoax in the eyes of experienced men . ' 1 he latter was anonymous , and written in a ¦ wretched manner ; but so ready are people to grasp

      at any hope in a desperate case , that it was speedily reported amongst the police that all the money would be , by six or seven o ' clock , certainly in the custody of the City commissioner or the Lord Mayor . The cabman wiis the only one who gained by the report , for the poor man who owned the house , upon oein « shewn the warrant , expressed the greatest surprise and indignation at the calumny , and invited the most scrupulous investigation . The expectation oJ the police of course proved delusive . The person who was subjected to this annoyance declares that he is not aware how he could have provoked the animosity of any living being to so unkind an act . The mhs ' iurr notes aiu ) gold alone amount to 10 , 0001 ., ami there is besides , it is stated , a large amount in bills of

      exchange . The mode in which the robbery was effected is pretty well ascertained ; and ' as the locks ot hankers' safes are generally on the patent principle , the probability is that the keys had on some occasion been mislaid , and that advantage was taken of that circumstance to prepare for the rob !> ery . There are one or two points that may be stated with certainty , from what has transpired . First , that a successful ni .- - < was planned to tret possession of the keys of the . strong chest ; secondly , tliat the party delinquent has on a former occasion not stood A 1—and , thirdly , that there is a clue to the retreat of the delinquent .

      There was something like a run upon the bank on Monday ; but on Tuesday business resumed its ordinary current . It is not at all improbable that within eiglu and forty hours the principal delinquent will be in the hands of one of the Forrestei-s . The amount of sovereigns taken is not by any means so large as stated in many quarters . A very strong man must he be who can conveniently walk away , and without attracting observation , w th ; j , 000 or -1 , 000 sovereigns . Tlie transaction—the possession of the keys , the opening of the strong room , and the principal party being fairly on "tbe road "—occupied less than three quaners of an hour .

      EXTENSIVE HOL . SEBUEAKI . NG AND IlOBBEUT AT GlASgotf . —Friday morning , about one o ' clock , a robbery of a xerv daring : and tjxtensive character was perpatrated in tlie drapery warehouse of Mr . William Patrick , Clyde-terrace , Gorbals . The thieves , it appears , effected an entrance by forcibly breaking open the back windows , and succeeded in carrying off thive hundred bolts of silk ribbons , a quantity of silk handkerchiefs , sewed muslin collaiS , and stockings , along with £ 9 in single notes , and £ 10 in silver and copper . The proprietor of the warehouse , who resides above the premises , fortunately heard the noise caused by the depredators , and immediately proceeded to inspect his shop , just as one of the thieves was climbing over an adjoining wall . Of course , an alarm was soon given , and in a short time afterwards , Mi \ Brown , the efficient officer of the Gorbals criminal department , succeeded in capturing six of the thieves—three men and three women—along with a considerable portion of tlie stolen goods , in a house in Clyde-terrace . About seven o'clock the

      same mornins . a woman belonging to tiie party was also apprehended m ihe Edinburgh Railway Station , with a _ lanre quantity of the stolen ribbons in her possession . Dreadful Ciuei . ty . —The public mind has , since Tuesday la . st , been much excited by the report of a ea . sp of almost unheard-of cruelty practised by the master of a Danish vessel , misnamed Christian Christensf-n , towards a boy named Wilhelm Ferdinand Flinher , aged seventeen , who belonged to the crew of

      Untitled Article

      the brig Daisy , of Gottenburgh . The poor boy , who was on his first voyage , appears to have been subjected to t he combined ill-treatment of starvation , confinemen t , ; and blows . The crew of the schooner Prince , Captain Sohier , Bristol trader , having witnessed the barbarity practised towards this poor boy —having seen him not only repeatedly thrashed by the ruman Christensen , but also by the mate , and , moreover , confined in a ' cask with netting over the top , and also-kept four days without food , stated the circumstance to Mr . P . Le Contour , who had the lad taken ashore , reported the case to the constables , and observing that the responsibility of the boy ' s life was now in their hands , left them to bring the matter betoro the court . Wellthe constables had the

      , poor laxi s case in hand—they had him under their protection ; they brought Mm , it appears , as far as the court-house—and what did they do ? They sent him on board again ! What was the consequence ? A renewal of ill-treatment in an aggravated form . The monster Christensen , on Saturday night , had the poor boy ' s hands and feet made fast , so that he could not use these limbs ; and , this being done , he had him fastened tight across the groin to the winch at the foot of the mast , exposed to the cold and rain , where some of the pilots seeing him on Sunday moming , Went td one of the assistant-constables . Mr .

      Payne , who , finding the boy unable to stand through ill-treatment and want of food , bad him conveyed to the hospital , where he now lies in the greatest danger , the doctors scarcely entertaining a hope of bis recovery . The brute of a master was put into gaol on Monday evening , and the court on Tuesday took the boy ' s deposition , in presence of the master * who now awaits the issue in gaol . Of course , should the boy die , he will be tried for a capital offence , but a share of the responsibility must Kill on those members of the police who were aware of the boy's situation and did not immediately rescue him from it . —Guernsey Star .

      Post-Office Robberies . —Sir , —The Postmaster-General , I perceive , has re-issued a notice on the subject of " missing newspaper , " wherein he states the law against either the "Stealing , embezzling , secreting , or destroying the said newspapers , " and the punishment " on conviction . " It is on the twe last words , " on conviction , " that I take the liberty of saying a few words , and laying before tlie public a fact which , shall speak for itself , and show , oy the " screening" system , how unlikely the public are to get redress . A poor girl , my gamekeeper's daughter , got a place at Lichfield ; at the end of the first quarter she enclosed two sovereigns in a letter , put two seals on it , took it to tlie f'ost-oihVe in LicliticUi , ami , as uoik ! luck would have it , th < > name moment

The poor sirl n <» t receiving any answer from her f < ither , she wrote to him ; he brought the letter to me . 1 went down to our Post-office , and there proved beyond a doubt , that on the day the letter ought to have come to hand , the post-bag being opened in the

      presence ut a third indifferent person , there was no letter of any sort in the ba < r ! 1 then told the father to go off to Lichfield . He did . lie cot no redress ; and I wrote to the General Post-office Inspector living in North Wales , who came up , and what he called " investigated " it . I saw him myself , and had a long talk with him , and I demanded the letter—( I said nothing about its contents )—the letter with two seals on it , post-paid , 2 < 1 . ; and I told him it never arrived at the Wolseley I ' ost-ofh ' ee , b | r proof positive , as above , and therefore the postinatiter of Lichfield must produce the letter in question , put in in the presence of a respectable witness . .

      roiuinu-: Aiuhttios . —Kiilaiisfv , Friday . — On Sunday night last , about fourteen men , whose faces were blackened , and most of whom were armed , attacked the house of Michael M'Gillycuddv , of Trippinagh , in tlie parish of Aglisli , a respectable farmer , and having discharged a shot through the parlour window , they effected ; ui entrance through it , and first sivui'eil the servants by binding them firmly with ropes . They then proceeded to the bedroom of M' ( iillycuuMy ' s rtiuightev , a siii'l ^ sixteen years old , whom they violently dragged out of bed , and , regardless of thf ) incessant and feeling entreaties of the mother to permit the girl to dress hei-self , tho heartless ruffians forced her through the window in that lamentable condition , leaving six of the party behind to prevent any trace of the fugitives . In a desperate struggle to shelter the daughter , her mother was barbarously beaten by these savages , and now remains under the care of doctors . Four of the gang have been arrested .

      Affec ti .-jo Event . —We have received intelligence off the almoHt sudden demise of Mr . William Iletherington , a fine promising vou-ng gentleman of eighteen years , of age , son of the late W . lletherington , Esq ., of Birkenhead , and recently appointed a second lieutenant in the () i ) t h RiHes . Last summer he had been engaged iii a rowing match , and , from the exertion at the oar , his hands becoming blistered , he incautiously , whilst in Ji state of persjiiration , dipped them into the cold water . Eruption and gAtherinj : ensued , causing much pain and annoyance , and this continuing for a considerable time , he went to London , and , it is apprehended , took unskilful advice , by which , though lie appeared to be cured , the disease " was

      probably thrown into the system by the too rapid drying up oi' the sores , lie returned home to his family apparently quite recovered , and , after remaining a short time , resolved to return to the military college at Brussels , where he had before studied , to make the best use of his time in professional acquirements . On his arrival there he was congratulated by his former companions , to whom he was much endeared ; but , alas ! on Wednesday week , when he sat down to dinner with them , he suddenly remarked that he felt extraordinary sensations , and could eat nothing . Being observed to be ill , and afterwards to faint , he was immediately earned to bctl , and received every possible attention ; but , to the grief of all around him , he expired early the following morning .

      Home Circuit . —Maidsto . vk , Wednesday , Xov . 27 . —The commission of gaol delivery for the county ol Kent was opened on Tuesday last by Mr . Justice Williams , and this morning the business of the ansizes commenced . There are forty-two prisoners for . trial , seven of whom are charged with murder . There l are also several other serious offences . The Case of Richard Dadd , tue Parricide . — Mr . liodkin made an application to the Court in reference to the above prisoner , who , it will be remembered , after having murdered his father , made his way to France , and was eventually brought back to this country and committed for trial . The learned

      Counsel , after having briefly alluded to the circumstances of the case , said there was no doubt that the unhappy young man was insane , and he had been removed by , order of the Secretary of State to a criminal lunatic asylum , where he now remained . As the trial , therefore , could not conic on , he would apply to the Court to discharge the recognisances of the witnesses who had been bound over , and to order thcit the money and other valuables taken from the person of the deceased gentleman at the time of the discovery of the murder might be delivered to his friends . — The Court made the order .

      The Botanical Remedial System . —Presentation of Pi , ATE To Dr . Coffin . —On . Thursday evening the friends of Dr . Coffin , medical botanist , took tea together in the public room , Bull Close-lane , Halifax , on which occasion nearly 200 people sat down . The room was tastefully decorated with evergreens , &c ., and the proceedings enlivened by the performances of a musical band . After tea , Mr . John Gibson , President of the Halifax Botanical Society , was called to the chair , who offered some general observation !! on the progress of scientific discovery , dwelt upon the benefits of l > otanical societies , especially in reference to the working classes , and concluded with an eulogium . upon' the character and merits of Dr . Coffin .

      Mr . Joseph Suteliffe then read a lengthened address , in which was noticed the various cures performed by Dr . * Cofiin through the agency of medical botany ; after which he presented a silver vase to the Doctor , and on which was ; inscribed— " Presented to Dr . Coffin as a memento of the services he has performed in Halifax , the efficiency of his gratuitous relief of the distresses of the sick and indigent poor , and of the invaluable information conveyed to the public tlirough the medium of his lectures on botany . " Dr . Coffin ' returned thanks in a speech of considerable length ; he observed that as to the gift with which they had presented him , it might perish , but the sentiments contained in the address would never die , being inherent in the heart of man . Though they

      might be perverted by improper education , as was the case as it regarded the science and practice of medicine , yet it was his privilege to be the humble instrument of pointing out a more excellent way , and to dissipate the mistaken notion that no one could heal disease but those educated at the schools . lie alluded to his forthcoming work on medical botany , the principles of which would be the basis on which the botanical associations would be formed . The meeting was addressed on the advantages of botanical knowledge and the benefit of associations for its diffusion , by Messrs . C . Fielding , A . Tidswell , D . Ross , Mr . Stevens , of London ( Dr . C . ' s first patient ) , and Dr . Smith , of Todmorden . Last year a gold medal , in case , was presented at Leeds ' to Dr . Coffin , by a number of the inhabitants of that town .

      The League axd AstI-League at Holmtirto Yorkshire . —We had a lecture from Mr . Harper , of the Anti-League , on Friday night last . His object was Free Trade , which he handled in a masterly manner . He was often interrupted by a leaguer in the body of the hall , nained Nathan Littlewood , a shop-keeper . He mounted the orchestra twice for the purpose of refuting the arguments of the lecturer , but never before was there such a specimen of middle-class ignorance . He denied this , and denied

      that ; but when he had the chance to refute the arguments , he completely { forgot to mention them . In fact , he was a complete clown for the audience . At the conclusion of the lecture , another leaguer , named Beardsell , tried his ^ hand , but to little effect . Finding that the question of " protection to labour , " was to he crowned with victory , the leaguers thought proper to try another plari ; that of a public discussion , This is to come off on Thursday , betwixt Mr . Harper and Mi * . Aekland , ! if he can be got ; if not , with some other lecturer oil the Anti-Corn League .

      Birmingham . —Meeting of Joiners and Carpenters . —On Wednesday ( .

Shortly after the hour announced , the ! room capable of containing about . 300 was crowded ; Mr . Ingle was appointed to preside . On taking the chair , he proceeded to _ state the objects of the meeting ; assuring them that if the strike now pending in Manchester was defeated by the tyranny of the firm , in consequence of not being supported by their fellow shop-mates throughout the country , the time would soon pome when a similar attack would be made upon them in Birmingham ,

      and their few remaining rights and privileges would be wrested from them . The chairman , after having read the ( various documents , called upon Mr . Egintmi to propose the first resolution , which wont to justify the strike and to condemn the conduct of- Pauling and Co . as most tyrannical . Mr . Kginton , in a very forcible and able speech , proposed tlie resolution , which was carried unanimously . The meeting was afterwards addressed by Messrs .

It was resolved that subscriptions '; be immediately opened by the working men of every "hop in Birmingham for the support of the strike "
