Murder Near Sheffield Two Children Woro ...
noon , was that belonging to the deceased , Barber was , at 7 o'clock on Monday evening , taken into custod y . He was told that he was suspected of the murder of Robinson but he denied the whole affair . On searching him , however , there was found in his pocket-book the pawnbroker ' s dup licate of tbe murdered man ' s watch . But , on being confronted with the pawnbroker , it was found that he was not the person who . had pawned it . Thero was found also up on him 21 . 15 s * . in money , aud a post-office receipt for a registered letter , which he posted on Friday to a friend at Port Carlisle , Cumberlannd , ' and which it is thought contained a remittance of money . A young man , named George M'Cormack , who was traced to having been in Barber's company , was next apprehended . He was identified as the person who had pawned the watch ; and he at once admitted it , stating that he received it from Barber at the Beindeer Inn on Saturday night , and gave to him the money for which it was pawned .
Both Barber . and M'Cormack were remanded by the magistrates . As to Barber ' s motive , a story is told which gives little assistance . Barber and Robinson had both served a term of years under Barber ' s uncle , Mr . David Barber , of Doncaster . About two months ago Barber was discarded by his uncle , in consequence of embezzlement . Previously the uncle had given 91 . for a silver lever watch as a present for the prisoner Barber . His misconduct , however , lost him his uncle ' s favour , and the watch was given to Robinson . About six weeks ago Robinson ' s engagement with Mr . Barber terminated , and the latter , as is customary , provided him with a pack of drapery as a stock in trade , and he commenced travelling over the district which the prisoner Barber had previously perambulated . It was , no doubt , by the offer of Barber to assist bun in obtaining customers , that he was lured into the secluded spot where he was murdered .

Blomfield and his family has lately been to Armagh on a visit to the Protestant Primate of Ireland . Before
he left , the Dean and Chapter of Armagh sent him a complimentary address , which he duly acknowledged . There was nothing of great note either in the address or the reply . Mr . Ord , late Liberal Member for Newcastle-upon-Tyne , was entertained by his late constituents on Wednesday . The principal speakers were , Earl Grey , Lord Carlisle , and the young Earl of Durham , who appears to have made his bow on tho occasion . Eulogy of Mr . Ord and of Whig principles of reform formed tho staplo of thc oratory . « A dinner was given on Tuesday at Newcastle-on-Tyno to Mr . Liddell , M .

The Tenant Right Conference , attended by twenty-seven Members of Parliament , sevoral priests , and other notable persons , commenced its sitting at Dublin on Wednesday . At present onl y tbo programme of the resolutions aro before us . That , tbe Conferenoo would decide to go for Mr . Sharman Crawford ' s bill , there is littlo doubt ; but strictly speaking wo havo no oflicial information of that result .
A Mr . llernaman has just been appointed Inspector ot Covernment Schools , with a salary ol 51 ) 01 . a-year . This is precisel y one of those appoint merits which , as wo bave "gain and again pointed out , literary men aro tho best , fitted to fill , while they form the legitimate means by which governments can extend their patronage to literary men . Wo aro willing therefore to hope , in the absence of any knowled _ge on the subject , that Mr . llernaman belongs to tho class for whom benefices and duties like the above are most evidently appropriate ; but so seldom do we find tho right men selected to fill up vacancies of tho kind , that wo have always the fear of a job or a political motive before , our oyc . H . _^ -A thcmmim . ¦ M r . G . It . Porter , the well known author of tho " _Progress of the Nation , " and ono of the secretaries of tbo joanl of TrHdo , died recently at Tunhridgo Wells .

hiding-place was discovered , he was compelled to fly for his life , and a barn , the theatre of his operations , was burnt to the ground . He afterwards became a dentist , but still continued to make machinery for his own amusement . Madame Poitevin safely descended in a parachute from a balloon on Monday . The parachute was so constructed that the air had free play through it , and thus the risk was greatly decreased . ' The Leinster Express of Saturday last has tbe following paragraph : — " Considerable excitement has been created in a south eastern county , by the elopement of a titled lady , the spouse of a wealthy commoner , with a gallant
captain belonging to an adjoining garrison , a relative of her own , and who was before on very intimate terms with her husband . " We ( Globe ) believe that the parties alluded to are Lady Elizabeth Bryan , daughter of the Marquis of Conyngham , and wife of George Bryan , Esq ., of Jenkinstown , county Kilkenny , and Captain James George Hay , of the 92 nd Highlanders . Lady Elizabeth Bryan is in her 23 rd year , and was married to Mr . Bryan ( who possesses a very large property in Kilkenny ) some two years ago . Captain Hay , the partner of her flight , has been quartered , for some months past , at Carlow , with the depot of the 92 nd . Mr . Bryan is said to be in pursuit of the fugitives .
Six Farmers Appointed By The Royal Agric...
Six farmers appointed by the Royal Agricultural College at Cirencester , have issued a report on the trial of Hussey's and M'Cormack ' s reaping machines which took place lately . The machines cut upwards of one hundred acres of different kinds of grain . The gist of the report , which is long , is , that of the two machines thus tried , M'Cormack ' s has the advantage in lightness of draught , security of cutting and clearing itself under adverse circumstances , and in the more convenient delivery of the sheaves . They think , however , that the work of both was sufficiently well done . Nevertheless they are both susceptible of very great improvement , especially in providing for the cutting and proper delivery of heavy and laid crops , and for working without the risk of the wheels clogging in wet and soft ground ; points in which they are as yet defective .
The Poor-Law Commissioners Have At Lengt...
The Poor-law Commissioners have at length sanctioned the proposition of the board of guardians of St . Martin ' s parish for the emigration of a considerable number of their able-bodied poor , and the vessel has been selected which is to convey them to Port Adelaide . On Tuesday they were assembled in the schoolroom of the workhouse , and addressed by the Bev . H . Mackenzie and Mr . Cobbett previous to their departure . Galway will have a line of steamers at last . The Northern Whig reports that a New York company bave got an Act through Congress , securing them 2000 _? . a trip for carrying tho mails when they run over their vessels . A new steamer is being built for the purpose .
The Cleopatra , whose outfit we noticed some timo ago , started from Blackwall , for Australia , on Saturday . Sho carries three hundred passengers , and anticipates reaching Sydney in sixty days . The steam-ship Australian , from Plymouth , arrived at Table Bay on the 19 th of July , and sailed on thc 22 nd for Adelaide , Port Phillip , and Sydney . She is tho first of tho bi-monthly line of mail packets . Tho Great Pritain was spoken at eight o'clock in tbo morning of the 25 th ult ., in lat . 42 . 37 , Ion . 12 , hy tho brig Lisbon , from Lisbon . Tho Great Pritain was crowded with sail , and going at tho rato of thirteen knots an hour . An estimate of timo and distance gives her , so far , about ten knots an hour . —Liverpool Standard .
Tho Mining Journal speaks of a " startling project" devised by Mr . ' D . S . Brown , who proposes to build a steamship which shall reach America in forty-oight hours ; and go to India and back in a fortnight ! His ship will not go through , but on tbo water . Emigration from tbo port of Liverpool during July and August was considerable ; 21 , 385 , in July , and 21 , 907 in August . The emigrants wero bound for America and Australia , and aro Government emigrants . Captain Reed , of tho barque Polly , of Newcastle , was unaccountably tired at , by tbo Turks in passing through the Dardanelles , on the 3 rd of July . Captain Reed published tho facts in tho Gibraltar Chronicle , in order that notice might bo taken , and such occurrences in future prevented .
Tbo Gorman Emigration newspaper , called tbo Auswandorer Zeitung , says : — " Ono item of intelligence in the last South American mail is rather startling ; German emigrants to Peru are articles of sale , and are advertised in tho papers as merchandise . They aro the remains of a band of emigrants who some time since wero induced , by the representations of an agent , named _Itodolfo , to sail for Lima ; the enterprise totally failed , and sixty of the men took service in tho army . General Mores bad purchased 120 for tho Kcuudor expedition ; a landed proprietor had bought 80 for his estate ; 4 * 0 wero working on tho guano islands ; 100 bad died , and 50 , loft in tho hands of tho agent , wero advertised in the paper as ' for sale . ' " Wo may , therefore , safely infer that these Gorman emigrants woro nearly as biully off in America as in their native land .
What paupers can do with waste land is shown b y tbo following anoedoto : —Sevoral _yoaru ago two or three paupers pressed ho heavily on the rates of the parish of St . Mary Extra , in Hants , tbat the parish authorities gavo them pieces of land on a wild common , situated between Itchon Ferry and Botloy , to cultivate , in order to gel , rid of fhoni . Tbo nion were looked upon as transports , and tho place to which thoy wero transported was called in derision , " Botany Hay . ' Tho poor men , howovor , by industry did well , aiid Botany Bay now figures on ' tho _Ordnance inapt , it buying become an _xUnniv * hamlet .

Thirty volunteers were sworn in for the City Militia , at the Mansion House , on Tuesday . Volunteers are so numerous that the ballot will not be required so it is stated . '
Since Monday last upwards of seventy young men have been sworn in at Marlborough-street police-court to servo in the East and West Middlesex Militia . The term of service js five years , and the whole of them received ten shillings each , being the first instalment of the bounty of 61 .

Caroline Shaw, One Of The " Ladies" Who ...
Caroline Shaw , one of the " ladies" who beg of Mr . Solly , has been sent to prison for fourteen days , by tho magistrate at Clerkenwell . Mr . Solly ' s butler said the nuisance was rather increasing . An old woman against whom a similar charge was brought , was discharged . John Gains , a constable who was wounded in assisting to arrest Thistlewood , and the Cato-strect conspirators , has been found guilty of stealing some harness from a stable where he had been allowed to sleep for the night . Sir John Musgrove said he should send him to prison for 14 days , and in the meantime make arrangements to insure his admission into the Union , on tbe ground that be had " served his country well , and was therefore entitled to some provision in his old age . " Gains , however , wanted sixpence , and to be turned adrift .
Agrarian murder in a dreadful shape has appeared in Tipperary . Last Saturday , Mr . O'Callaghan Ryan was shot in the public road near Kilmanahan , dragged into a ditch , and cut about the head with an axe . He had been to Clashganny to prevail on certain tenants against whom he was about to issue a writ of ejectment to come to amicable terms . Strangely as it may sound in English ears , yet we read that Mr . Ryan had only just passed a policeman , who heard the shot and ran forwards , but too late . Five men have been arrested—four named Hackett , and one named M'Naghten . Edward Westwood , a stableman , who , according to tho testimony of his wife , " used to drink a good deal , but not
to say get drunk , ' quarrelled with Mr . David Sheward , his master , on Monday week . Tbey wrestled together and exchanged blows ; Westwood fell to tbe ground , and was found by his wife " getting black in the face and insensible . " Ho was taken to St . George ' s hospital with a fractured skull , and died on Thursday morning . An inquest was held on Saturday , and the jury found "That tbe deceased died from tbo effects of a fall , but whether that fall was caused by a blow or otherwise , there is not sufficient , evidence to satisfy the jury . " The Coroner said , be considered it was right to state that the jury had given the case a very attentive consideration , and although this was their ultimate decision , a majority of them were in favour of a vordict of manslaughter .
Coal-Mming Accidents, Of Late So Frequen...
Coal-mming accidents , of late so frequent and so fatal , havo at length spirited up tho coal-owners to prevent them if possible . Wo observe that an association has been formed , having its head-quarters at Newcastle-upon-Tyne , composed of coal-owners and mining engineers ; and called "Tho North of England Institute of Mining Engineers .

Last , Saturday night an old woman , named Mary Lowes , was killed on tbe Shrewsbury and Chester Railway . Sho persisted in walking on tbe line , and was run over hy an excursion train .
Another railway accident , is recorded . If took place on Wednesday . The express on fbo Bristol and Kxcl . nr ran off tho rails at Creech , beyond Bridgewuter , from some cause at , present unknown . The fireman was killed and one passenger injured . We shall doubtless hear more at . tho inquest . This train carried the (' ape mails ; two hours wero lost , at , Creech by the accident , and one af Langloy Marsh , owing to defects in the locomotion . An engine drawing a passenger-train on the Midland Railway , near Nottingham , exploded on _I'Yiday week . A . tube leading from the firo , which had recently been plugged , got deranged ; lho plug camo out , allowing tho wafer to rush on to the fire . 'Hie driver was much hurt , but tho stoker escaped .
