A severe struggle ensued , when the noise the combatants made reaching the gaoler , he came running to the door , and tbe turnkey having got his knee upon his opponent ' s breast , while he-held him down by the throat with his left band , opened the door with tho oVher and admitted the gaoW . Tbe prisoners were then seenred and laid in ironw . There can be no doubt tbat the object fjey had in view was to effeot their escape , and certainly the turnkey deserves great praise for the intrepid manner in which he resisted them . —Caledonian Mercury .
Fatal AcciDE « TS . ~ The following loss of life took place at Grangemouth one evening last week . A sailor who had been onshore , in going along a plank to return to the vessel , which was lying in the canal , accompanied by a young woman , happened to lose hiB balance , and , catchiag hold of the girl , both unfortunately fell into the water . An old woman who was near the spot at the time of the accident gave the alarm , and , it is reported , rushed into the water to lend her feeble aid to save the drowning couple . The captain of the vessel also plunged into the water for the same humane purpose , but perish ed . Exertions were now made by several people to remov <> the bodies from tbe water .

A Council of French Ministers was held on Thursday , under the Presidency of Marshal Soult . It was reported in the Salle : dea Conferences of tho Chamber , that the Council had taken into consideration the result of the discussion which arose the preceding day in the bureaux relative to the right of search and tbe Spanish question . The majority of the Cabingt appeared disposed to accept , in the address , a phrase expressive of a wish that negotiations might be opened for the revision of tho treaties of 1831 and 1833 . M . Gnizrt did not share thiB opinion of his colleagues , but held to their execution . It is said that Sir Henry Hardinge purposes to bring forward several measures which he recommended when giving his evidence before the committee on military punishments . Among others , wa understand that the comfortless 8 tat 6 of the soldiers '
barrack room will be remedied , and that many of the nselessand harassing regulations will be done away with ; for instance , a soldier is not allowed to smoko in his room ; he is not allowed to sit down on his bed , nor to mend his shoes in his room . Such absurd restrictionsoughttobe removed . The crowding together of tho men is also another annoyance : the rooms ought to better arranged , and not more than twelve or fonrteen men should bo put into them . We trust that tbese and many more beneficial alterations may be introduced . We are , ioweveT , of opinion that nothing can be effected to make the soldier contented while serving , except limited engagements , and an alteration in tbe issue of the bounty , do that the recruit may join free from debt , and commence bis career on his full daily pay . —Naval and Military Gazette .
Railwat Stoppage bt Snow . —As the Exeter mail wasproceeding down the Southampton railway one night last week , the train , either from the heavy fall of snow on tbe line , or from the inability of the engine to proceed further , whb suddenly bronght to a stand-still about seven miles beyond Woking station . Accordingly the train put back to that station , where an additional engine was obtained , and the train proceeded on its way . When , however , within a short distance of the place where the stoppage occurred , it was again impeded by the breaking of the axle i f one of the engines , and again forced to put back to Woking . The mail was delayed by these circumstances upwards of two hours . Travellers u pwards , from Devonshire and Cornwall , describe tbe
fall of snow as very heavy during the night . The Dover and Hastings mails were bthind time nearly two hours in reaching London from the depth of PTiovr on the route . All tbe hills aud valleys on the road to Tnnbri dge-Wells and Dover are heavily corered with snow , and Shooter's-hill has entirely changed its aspect within a few hours . Inou Tbadk . —Tbe usnal quarterly meetings of the ironmasters were held during tbe last week . The anticipations that a considerable demand would have arisen from the settlement of affairs in the East and the commercial treaty with China , were not realized , having been checked by the delay in the
completion of the arrangements with Spain and Portugal , which caused hesitation on the part of purciaserf of iron , while the expectation of their bciDg speedily and favourably concluded induced the ironmaster ^ and holders to be firm , and but few sales were * -fffcted aad no very large contracts made . A confident expectation exists , however , tbat as spring advances , and the arrangements alluded to are completed , there will be an increased demand , with a full maintainance of present prices , if not a considerable advance . The sales mide by needy individuals , under such suspense , cannot be considered to form a criterion of the market prices . —Birmingham
Gazette . Edi . xburgii Sjtcw ball Riot . —On Friday , about twelve o ' clock at noon , the timo when the medical students usual ' y proceed to their respective classes in the High School yards by way of Infirmary-street , a number of policemen , amounting to about eight or twelve , wero lowering about the last-mentioued place , when a few boyB commenced throwing snowballs at one another . As the students pa > sad , a few of them joined those pjready engaged with the snowballs . Although we must confess we saw no injury offered to ei « fcer the property' or the person of any one , however , the policemen very rashly interfered , which made tho balls fly thicker than before , and a number of the students took possession of tbe space within the walls of the Infirmary . The policemen being all tbe time in Infirmary-street , made a rash
at the gate , vrhsre a smart skirmish ensued between them and the students , which lasted some minutesthe policemen doing their best to make prisoners of the students . They were repelled ^ hjwever , and pushed outside of tho gate . One of tnfent ran to the police-office for more assistance , and soon after , Lieutenant Kerr and a reinforcement of polioe arrived , who weie loudly hooted by the mob , who had now begun to collect in large bodies . About one o ' clock there could not be less than 600 students opposite the College . Snowballs were flying in all direction at the police , and all the Bhops in the neighbourhood were closed . Several students were taken and then rescued by tbe mob . However , after several hours riot and fighting , the police succeeded iu securing the mo&t violeat of the party , and at five o ' clock tranquillity was completely restored . —Edinburgh Weekly Chronicle .
„ Disthess op the Ibish Fakmebs . —At the Newry Qaarter Sessions , on Friday , Mr . JoneF , the assistaiit-barristtr , in his charge to the grand jury , gave the following account of the increase of litigation , resulting from the protracted aud Btill existing distress of tbe farmers : — " At the sessions for tbe pre-FCT-t quarter , he had htard SOLO civil bills—2000 at Newtownards , and 1000 at Hikborough . There would probably be another 1000 at these sessions , making altogether 40 uO civil bili . eutries . There was a larger number of entries than ever he hart known le
to be brought before him at the sessions for a siDg quarter . Since he first came to this country there was a . positive increase of one-fourth in the number of civil bill entries . The extraordinary increase on the present occasion he attributed to the very depressed state of the lower classes . Tbouft b the last harvest was a most luxuriant and bountiful one , yet si 511 , in consequence of lhe low price , it did not afford an adequate remuneration . " This , let it be borne in mind , is the description given by a Tory Assistant-barrister of the condition of the farmers iu what is termed ** the crack Protestant couaty of
Ireland . "—Dublin Evening Post . Madamk Vestbis ' s Beactt . —The New York Theatre was crowded to excess on the first night of Madame Testris ' B ( now Axb . C .

STOPPAGE OF THE BANK OF PARKER SHORE , AND CO . OF SHEFFIELD . ( From a Third Edition of the Sheffield Independent . J It is our deeply afflictivo duty to annonnce the worst piece of local aews that ever was published in Sheffield , —the stoppage of the Sheffield Old Bank of Messrs . Parker , Shore , & Co ., that highly respected firm , who have earned aud maintained until this ti mp , a degree of publio confidence such as no country bankers have exceeded . The disastrous intelligence is conveyed in tbo following notice : — .
" It is with the deepest regret that Messrs Parker , Shore , and Co ., announce to their much valued con-» ection and the public , that , owing to the long-continued commercial depression , and the heavy losses , which their banking-house has sustained in preceding years , they are under tho necessity of suspending payment ; and they have also to announce to the creditor ? , that immediate steps will be taken to bring their affairs to a close . " Sheffield Bank , Jan . 14 , 1843 . " This calamity will inevitably produce the greatest dismay and embarrassment , not in Sheffield only , but throughout the neighbourhood . The immediate effect will probably be a panic and a run upon the other banks . With regard to them ,
wo have great satisfaction in being enabled to give an assurance which we trust will be much to calm the publio mind . The stoppage of Messrs . Parker , Shore , and Co ., is not produced by any run , or sudden event . Is is tho result , as they state , of the longcouticued depression , which , by rendering business unprofitable , has prevented them from retrieving the Iosse 3 of former years . Tne other banks , therefore , are not taken by surprise . They have had timely notice , and we are assured , on the highest authority from several quarters , that they are fully prepared for any panic or any run that may ensue . From a well-informed source , we have tho information that
the ; arc ready to pay at once every penny that can be demanded of them . Most serious , therefore , as the effect of tho stoppage of Messrs . Parker , Shore , and Co , must be , we feel satisfied that the other banks will stand firm , aud are ready to render all the accommodation which they can with propriety to those who may bo embarrassed by the stoppage . With regard to the isbue of this disastrous event we are also enabled to state that it is confidentially anticipated that the assets of the bank , aided by the property of the partners , will prove moro than adequate to the payment of all demands . We believe that the affairs of the bank will be wound up under a fiat in bankruptcy . ,
Wo oannotconcladiithis melancholy announcement without expressing our deep sympathy for the partnew in the bank , and ; especially for its revered head , Hugh Parker , Esq . Every man in Sheffield will feel that the calamity is infinitely embittered by the reflection , that hia latter years should have been darkened by the foreshadowing , and by the consummation of such an event . We trust , however , that he will derive consolation from the universal and heartfelt sympathy that will be elicited . He and
hi 3 partners will enjoy the satisfaction , not only of knowing that they have done all that economy and careful management could do , to avert this disaster , but that the publio confidence in their honour and integrity is unshaken , and will receive a new justification from the disclosures now to be made . We believe it will be proved that the partners have for several years made great personal sacrifices to sustain the bank . Wo have heard it stated that , for many years past , neither Mr . Parker nor Mr . Shore have drawn anything out of the bank .
We trust that the assurance wo are enabled to give , thai the other banks are perfectly prepared and safe , and the anticipation that ultimately the creditors ot Messrs . Parker , Shore , and Co ., will sustain no loss , wiil tend to calm tho publio mind , and save the town from the aggravation of tne original calamity which unbounded alarm would produce . We have also seen the following communication in r » erence to this disastrous event : — " Iris Office , Monday , five o'clock . " A large meeting of the merchants and manufacturers has been held in the Cutlars' Hall , this afternoon ; the Master Cutler in the chair ; at which it was unauimously resolved , ' That in order to prevent an increase of the distress consequent on the failure of the Shtffi-ld Old Bank , the notvs of all the other banks now existing in Sheffield shall be taken as u ^ ual . ' The paper containing the resolution was very numerously signed . '

ARRIVAL OF THB BRITANNIA . The British and North American Royal Mail Steamer Britannia . Captain Hewitt , which / sailed from Boston on the afternoon of the 1 st and Halifax on the night of the 3 d instant , arrived at Liverpool on Sunday night . She encountered dreadful weather during the passage , and felt the full effects of the hurricane on Friday last She has , notwithstanding , made tbe voyage iu under fourteen days from port to port We have received by the Britannia New York papers to the 31 st ult ., and Boston to the 1 st and Halifax to the 3 d inst Their contents are not important The New York papers of tho latest dati-s are filled with reports of the proceedings of the court-martial instituted for the trial of the mutineers of the United Slates brig of war Somers , which was sitting on board the North Caroline , at New York . The mutiny was the all-engrossing topic of conversation ; we have given an outline thereof in another column .
The proceedings tn CongresB were of the ordinary kind . The subjects before it purely domestic , though allusion had been made te the Oregon territory , on a motion being made for papers concerning it The Government seemed to be blamed for having passed the snlject oveT in tbe negotiations between them aud Lord Ashburton . The general features of the money-market are dfscribed aa remaining the same as at the sailing ot the previous packet ., Money was very plentiful , and but little in demand for business purposes . Specie was accumulating in the banks . A Mr extent of business bad been done in exchange for the Britannia ; prices were not , however , firm . The rate on London was 106 f to 100 ; on Paris , 5 , 43 to 5 , 45 . The New York American in its money article for tbe Britum . ia , thus alludes to tbe state of affairs at the close of the year : —
" The year closeB upon us without much , in our commercial and financial situation , to look back upon with satisfaction , or look forward with hope . " The same general disease still pervades the country—the want of a general currency , and the violent contractions of all local banks , which have , in fact , in some portions of the United States , brought back the old system of barter , for want of any circulating representative of property . " Congress has been in session nearly a month , and , altnongh a good deal has hten done of routine business , nothing bas ever beon said as to the schemes for receiving , safely keeping , and disbursing the revenue of the Goverumfent , and incidentally of creating some sort of national currency ; nor « i& we bulieva that any one of tho various projects broachrd for these purposes stands tee least chance of success . There remain but two months more of the session , and of this brief existence but little , we apprehend , will be conceded to exchequer crudities .
•• The secretary of the Treasury ' s report shows , upon estimate , a more favourable prospect for the future than we bad hoped for . He looks forward to a surplus in June , 1844 . " The bankrupt law is stjll in jeopardy in Congress , though tbe effoit to repeal it entirely seems to meet greater obstacles than were anticipated . We incline to the opinion that it will not be wholly repealed , though it may be modified by striking out tho voluntary clause , and possibly by extending its general provisions to corporations issuing money . " No movement at all , indicating what may be in reserve as te tbe tariff , has yet been made in either house .
" The large stima in specie received t > y the Britannia steamer and other conveyance , for tbe purohase of bills of exchange and cotton , have not affected the market as to the former . The latter was started aoms-wbat by the general impulse given to prices in England by the China and India news . " i The accounts from Kingston seem contradictory as to the state of Sir C . Bagot ' s fcealth . The latent bulletin isEued represented his Excellency to be in a very low state . No later accounts had been received from Mexico or Yucatan . There are recent account * from Texas , but they are unimportant The Congress was in session .

Operation of the tariff on Beef . —Hamburgh , Jan . 10 . —In some recent publications the farmers of Great Britain are encouraged to think ( with the object of sheltering Sir Robert Peel from their indigfiation ) that the fall iu tbe price of cattle is not all owing to the admission of foreign cattle under a duty ; and the small importation of cattle and pigs since the alteration of the tariff came into force is adduced as an argument in support of this opinion . The farmers will do well not to calculate without their host . The exportations from hence , for example , of cattle and pig 3 , were small during the last few momhs ., because the farmers and graziers of Denmark , Holstein , Mecklenburg , and other adjacent provinces , were not prepared for the alteration * Their own interest will now induce them to prepare tbe means for sending both cattle and pigs to
England in increasing quantities every year ; and no one in this vicinity will feel B \ irpii&ed to tee this branch of commerce , in the court e of a few years , carried on . to an extent ten times larger than might be supposed , judging merely from , recent operations . Mr , Howitt , in his recently published travels through Germany , utters a great deal of nonsense about the absence of meadow land and the miserable condition of cattle , merely because he appears to have been led to a part of Germany wher 8 grazing is not encouraged . If ho had bent his way to the provinces and districts abovementioned , he might have feasted his eyes upon meadows and cattle such as be has perhaps seen in no other part of the world ! It may be as well to add that Mr . Howitt'sbook itself has not jet reached Hamburg , and the foregoing remarks are suggested by the extracts which come of the newspapers have furnished . —Correspondent of th * Morning Chronicle '
The most valuable op eabthlt blessings is good htalth , and this may often be destroyed by slight negligence , or preserved byBimple meanB . We beg to refer our readers to Mr . Herman ' s advertisement , « lsewhere inserted . We believe this gentleman to belong to an altogether different genus from the brood of common quacks . His opportunities of obtaining medical prescriptions from eminent practitioners have been extensive , from his own very large and respectable practice aa a dispensing chemist .
