damages ; the plaintiffs in the other actions , 501 ., except . the Wo married couples who got 701 . "We are bound to isay that the captain , the surgeon , and the purser , declared the food sufficient , and the cabin accommodation good . An attempt to put down distributions of pictures by lottery , by summary process , at Bristol , has failed . Mr . Bodkin ,-on the part et" Government , prosecuted Mr . Em" -, a distributor on the plan of the fine arts distribution . The magistrates thought the offence charged had been committed , but that they had no power of dealing with it summarily . Lord Stamford heard voices in his preserves ; he went towards them and found three poachers , one of whom ho collared ; but the men turned on him and beat him , and he had to find his way home with a good thrashing .
Two hawkers hare fought a pitched battle near Hull , jand one was killed . The case of the steamer JSmperor , in which the Glasgow folks took pleasure trips on Sunda ys , is before the Edinburgh Court of Session on appeal . It is a singular fact , that during the last week , Mr . William Baker , the coroner for East Middlesex , has held no fewer than twenty inquests on the bodies of children suffocated by being overlaid by their parents . The deaths from suffocation always increase about this season of the year , but the mortality for the past seven days supersedes all previous returns . ' Tlie coroner has had six cases in one day , and the deaths have chiefly taken place in St . Mathew , Befchnal-green , Shoreditch , Mile-end New-town , Hackney , St . George ' s in the East , Ratcliff , St . Ann , Limehouse , All Saints , Poplar , St . Leonard , Bromley , St . Dunstan , Stepney , St . Luke ' s , Old-street , Stoke Newington , and Wap-P S-
The conduct of Thompson , the alleged murderer of Charity GHenister , at Heath and Reach , since he has been in custody , has been very remarkable , and seems to denote insanity . On police-constable Clough asking him if he had been ill , he said he had been so while resident at Bushey ; he had received a call from the Lord to go to see his mother . He afterwards said , " I saw her" ( meaning Charity Glenister , the deceased woman ) "breathing the Devil ^ ihtp'mjr mother ' s mouth that morning Avhen I went upstairs . P jumped on the bed and tried to draw the
breath back again . I think I did . I then went after her , and took the hammer from the room below , and caught her on the top of the stairs of the next house , after breaking the cloor open , and knocked her brains out with it . I hit her two or three times . She has often breathed the Devil into my mother . I know when she is in the room , ifc always smells so of sulphur . " On the policeman telling the prisoner that Charity Glenister was dead , he said , "It is a good thing . I am glad of . that—I am glad of that . ® l ° ry > glory , glpry ; Hallelujah , Halleluiah !"
Six " schools" of sharpers have recently made a tour of Scotland . They planted themselves in railway trains , and inducing passengers to play cards , & c , cheated them . They were once bitten . A man who knew the trick delayed his play until near Stirling . He then won lol . at a coup , and immediately disappeared .
Garotte robberies have recently been common in Manchester . Hero are specimens : —On Monday night Mr . Councillor Ainsworfch , of Manchester , was robbed of a purse containing two half-sovereigns , in the Hyde-road , near Ardwick-green , by two men , who nearly deprived him of sense by clasping him round the neck . An attempt on Saturday evening last , about half-past seven o'clock , on Mr . Samuel Loos , a cotton-spinner , was successfully resisted . Mr . Lees was walking past the lliiHhohno-road Chapel , in Upper Brook-streot , when a man tripped behind with a light step and clasped him round the neck .
Ho threw off the man , however , though lie nearly dropped on hia knees before he could got his head free , lie ? struck out with his walking-stick , hitting tlio man on the left temple , and knocked him down just as several other men rushed to tho Bpot , but who were deterred by throats from renewing tho attack . The man who hud made tho attack followed Mr . Loes , blooding copiously , and mado two more springs at him , hut was felled each time with great violence by blows of tho walking-stick . Those nre tho lessons needed . Tho fact in , tho Manchester men must go armed , i ' oaco principles won't do . It was tho " garotte" that Nicholas triod upon Turkoy .

A police ordonnance , jusjt published , withdraws all permissions at present accorded to tumblers , street singers , organ grinders , & c . A new permission must at once be applied for , and such authorisation is to be renewed every three months . These persons cannot exercise their calling before eight in the morning , arid after six in the evening , from October 1 to April 1 , and after nine in the evening during the other months . They are expressly forbidden to have themselves accompanied by children under sixteen years of age , and in no case can any of these classes undertake to explain dreams , or to tell fortunes . —Galignani .

As The Bishops Of Natal And Graham's Tow...
As the Bishops of Natal and Graham ' s Town were proceeding to Cuddesden Palace on Friday evening last , to meet a party at the Bishop of Oxford ' s , the carriage was upset near Wheatley , and the right reverend brethren were extricated from their perilous situation by being helped out through the window , as the door could not be opened . They sustained no injury ; and as the Bishop of Oxford ' s carriage , returning also from Oxford , fortunately reached the spot shortly after the accident , they were enabled to proceed to their destination without much delay .
The number of accidents have been very great recently , Taking up one copy of a morning journal we find no fewer than six . Edwin JDoyle , railway labourer , knocked down by a waggon train , and killed ; Thomas Jackson and Henry Jones , rock-blasters , incautious use of a red hot poker in firing- a mine , Jones killed ; Webber , a labourer , found dead in a lime-kiln , supposed to have fallen in while lighting his pipe . ; Mr . Robert Cranford , rabbit shooting , fell , his gun exploded , and he was wounded , though not seriously ; a boy driving a mill-horse , caught in the flange , and killed ; Mr . Chadsviek , actor , blunderbuss burst , arm shattered .
No doubts whatever are now entertained as to tho fate of the steamer Marshall . A number of fishing-boats which have arrived at Grimsby report having seen the mastheads of tho MarsJiall above low water mark near Kiln . Sea , about five miles from the Kcwsand Float , and as near as can be guessed in very close proximity to tho place where the collision with the Woodhou . se occurred . The steamer twice struck the TV 00 dh 07 t . se , and then disappeared . Tho Woodhouso was so injured by the collision , that the captain had the greatest difliculty in keeping her above water .
There was' a great fire in Upper Thames-street on Saturday night . It broke out about twelve o'clock in a pile of warehouses occupied by Messrs . Selby , Messrs . Gosnell , and Mr . Saunders . At first tho supplies of water wero very scanty ; the engines plentiful , and the firemen at work with their customary vigour . But the flames gained so rapidly on tho premises , that Mr . Braidwood sent for the steam-float engine . For hoiiio time , so dense was the fog , tho men in charge could nut , tell which side of the river to bring the leviathan . At length , however , it arrived , and through six hundred feet of hose poured four vast jots of water on the ilainoH . Still blazing in tlio pile , hut confined to it , they wore not really extinguished until late on Monday .
There was a largo fire at tho Glenlield Starch Works , Paisley , occupied by tho Messrs . WothorapooTi , manufacturers of the Glen field 'Patent Starch . Unfortunately , before the fins was extinguished , great damage was do no ; but tho contiguous buildings wore waved .
A wall fell down at Liverpool on Monday , killing a gentleman and two boys . It Henms that a quantity of iron bad boon piled against tho wall inside , and ita foundations being sapped by tho wet Hca . son , it , foil . Keportrt from Shofliold mention a . singular onso of milFo - cation . Four persons , a mother , two hoiih , and a daughter , and a lodger , lived in a houno next to a blast furnace at . ElMerar . One of tho hom . s hail to work at night , and ho loft nil well . Wlion ho returned no oik ; an . swored bin knocking ; ho ho entomi by tho kitchen window , wont up ntuii'H , and found his mother , brother , NiHtor , and the lodger , all dead . A quantity of poi . ionouH vapour from tho l ' urlmeo had crept through a crack in tho brickwork and mitforntcd thorn all .
Minor dlonmil M'Donnell , a finn old-ooldior , had hiti thigh hrokon by tho kick , of ahorso in I'atrick-. street , Ivilkoniiy , last ; week . Tho general wan on his way to a moot , of the Kilkenny Hunt .

The New Alliance Of E Uropean Powers. Th...
THE NEW ALLIANCE OF E UROPEAN POWERS . The Four Powers are at it again , and this timo with the show of a better chance than they have yet had of putting a stop to general war . Austria and Prussia appear to have come into the arrangement in a more hearty manner ; and i so there can be little doubt that the peace of Europe at large will be preserved , Austria , France , England , and Prussia , aided by Turkey , and many minor Powers of Europe , would be able to keep . Russia hi check . We are not sure , however , that the advantage of preventing the war will be attained without a cost which must be regretted . No one can believe that the Four Powers would unite upon any project beneficial to the peoples of Europe . We do not believe that
there is any care for the peoples of Europe . We may cast France out of the account , i ' oi although it is manifest that the Emperor Napoleon has not paid great deference to the French nation in the manner of his attaining power , it is not less manifest that his ambition takes that form which would can for the active assistance of a martial people , and thus by his actions he
must inevitably become identified with tho French nation . Indeed the kind of violence which he has put upon the French people is not so repugnant to the public in that , country as it would be in England . The sufferings winch he has inflicted upon individuals are such as most parties in France have not scrupled to inflict upon their opponents ; and while numbers of individuals naturally nurse a resentment for old
wrongs , the great body of tho people appears to have condoned his trespasses , and to regard him aa the public leader avIio best represents the sentiments of the whole . We are inclined to believe that it is so . No political party has so completely taken up the idea of rendering France great by brilliant exploits , in diplomacy , in commerce , or on the field as the man whose greatness must bo worked out through the nation . If Napoleon has any hold upon power it is by being more French than any French party .
But what sincerity has Frederick William shown in professing rexpeet for his beloved Borlincra ? bo long us tliey applaud his gracious acts of popularity , he is content to bo a mild autocrat , a sort of- schoolmaster , with a sabre in his hand , prepared to keep naughty boys in order by force of " pancakes , " not inflicted with tlio flat of the sword ; but when i'licy presumed to have a . will of their own separate from his royal pi'OJcctH , lie dragooned or cannonaded ( , hcm . Austria , who has kept her best province in a state of martial law since 18 'IM , ]\ rh for the vital obiect
of her political system to keep down tho peoples ; who is only afraid lest in a , general , disturbance tho whole might be . shaken . Our own Government appears a , lx > u ( , to disappoint evon the nocalled freo Fiiitfli . sh people of the franeliirio which was promised lo the majority by Lord John . Russell—a . projniso which bin colleagues will no I ; let him fulfil . Our ( iovomment habitually conducts the national aflair . s towards forei gn nations in privacy , and tho nation towards foreign stales is represented by a clique which managon aftor
its own fashion , and which <*\ hibi ( H more Hympathy with other officials of whatsoever country than wif . h the vulgar n . fi home . We are not to expect , therefore , that a , conclave of the Four . Powers will < lo anything to favour the peoples The grand object is to IiuhIi up everything thai ; can di . sturb courts and cabinoLs in the on joy men t of power and pelf . M uch objection has been oxeited at the fenoral description of the aiTanpfoiiHint contemplated by the Four I ' ovvcni , a declaratory act to prevent any alteration of tho territorial arrungomont in
