SPAIN . Tbs Tkaitoe Pbol—The Madrid Gazette of the Jlfjih ult . publishes the following Koyal decree , grant-- _jjintr a pardon to General Prim ;—"In thc exercise of Hie prerogative granted to me Ibvihc 46 th article of the Constitution , and by the aadvice of my Council of Ministers , I remit the i penalty tw which _Mgjor-General Don Juan Prim , ( Count de Reus , was condemned by a court-martial < composed of General Officers . - Given at the Palace on the 18 th of Jan ., 1 SH 5 , and signed with the Queen ' s hand .

Akeest asp Murder of _Zubeiko . — 3 _fowg of the arrest of 2 urhano was received at Paris on Saturday . He was arrested ou the 19 th at Logrono , and shot at the _e-piration of twenty-four Lours . The following brief particulars were received in London on Tuesday morning :- — " Bayonne , Jan . 23 . " 1 informed you briefly yesterday of the arrest of General _Xurbano . The rumours which prevailed of his escape into Portugal were spread by his friends , with a view to lull the vigilance of the Government , and enable hun to seize a favourable moment of reaching this frontier . Supposing this moment arrived , it appears that , in company of Lis brotherin-law , Gayo Muro , he left Ms _Mding _^ pkee , at a countiy house in the immediate neiglilourhood of Logrono , and was immediately seized by the guards stationed on the road to arrest him .
* " The Governor of Logrono , warned by the fate of 3 ns predecessor , General Oribe , would allow of no delay , but immediaiely placed bis prisoners in capeUa , from which , at the end of twenty-four Lours , they were led out to the place of execution . I need not add that this renowned partizan met his fate with the same indifference with which he would have inflicted it on his enemies . " It was asserted that CayoMuro was arrested and shot at thc same-time as Zurbano ' s eldest son , Don Benito . This was a mistake . It was another bro ther-in-law , named Martinez , who suffered on that occasion . "
The following additional particulars aregirenbya correspondent of the Times : — _*** * Bayonne , Jan . 24 . Sir " , ** my last we { have received some additional p- _^ cularsof the fare of Zurbano . He was discovered in a house in ihe immediate neighbourhood of Logrono , on the road to the Sierra de Camaras , near ihe spot where his two sons and other partisans Lad been arrested . The officer who effected Lis capture was an old comrade known under the sobriquet of El _Rayo ( the Thunderbolt ) . The latter had been long in _pursuitof him , having sworn to take Mm alive or dead . His brother-in-law , Cayo Muro , a Major of cavalry , on half-pay , was shot dead endeavouring to escape by a window . Zurbano was less fortunate ;
being taken prisoner , Le was led to Logrono , where the Gorernor , Brigadier Avnat _, commanded Mm inunediately to prepare for d eatn . He was shot in thebaek , inthemarkef-place of Logrono , at eleven o ' clock on the morning of the 21 st instant . This renowned chief was the son . of a peasant of Barea , a rur al suburb of Logrono , who destined Mm for the ecclesiastical profession , but the study of divinity proving distasteful to him , he returned home and devoted himself to agriculture . He married very yovjig , and lured a considerablefarm at Barea , bnt the tnrbulcnce of his character rendering Mm unfit for this peaceful occupation , Le became a smuggler , and
Ms enemies say a robber . The ill-success of Lis pnisiiifs , and consequent hardships , shortened the life of Ms youthful wife . He shortly afterwards _marlito his present wife , Hermenegilda Martinez . He continued his lawless life till the breaking out of the civil war , when , Laving placed Limself at the head of asmallband ,-andertheprotection ofMPitoPizairo , lc began those daring attacks _Tipon _tuC Carlists which led to Ms _eleration by Espartero to Mgh rank in the Christino army , to the most important commands , and to the possession of great wealth .

France, "Rrrm Ifabkbr^Rupon Friday, Jl G...
and crowds of the people assembled in the public plaees . Canalizo shut himself up in the Palace with some 2 , 000 troops . Baranda , Rejon , and Salas , took refuge with him . In the meanwhile , both the Liberals and clergy in the capital united in the revolutionary movement , and began to make preparations against the common enemy . Congress , as well as the Ayuntamiento , succeeded , in spite of Canalizo ' s decree , in having seeret circulars printed , which were actively disseminated among all classes . The Government troops about the Palace , seeing symptoms of the coming storm , began to waver . During the 4 th and oth the excitement continued , and on the 6 th , multitudes of the people , armed ,
assembled at the Convent of San Francisco . Here the members of Congress were assembled , and among them Generals Herrera , Garcia , Condo , and _Cespedes . The whole body marched from the Convent to the square in front of the palace , wWek is near the centre of thc city , and summoned Canalizo to surrender , giving him two hours to reflect . Canalizo prepared to attack the citizens , when one of Ms officers , exclaiming that he was the soldier of no tyrant , but of tiie people , shouted '' Long live Hie Congress ! " The cry was taken up by nearly all the troops , and Canalizo fled in terror to his apartments . Before leaving the Convent Gen . Herrera had prepared a letter . wMch he now sent to Canalizo , requesting him M order to spare the effusion of blood , " to recognise the government ofthe Constitution and of Congress _, and to allow it to exercise its full powers . To this Canalizo returned , in quick succession , the following
answers : — "Exmo Sr : —In order to avoid any unfortunate scenes or events in this capital , I am ready immediately to deliver up the command , and-to evacuate this place at once , if guarantees are conceded to me . God and . Liberty . National Palace of Mexico , December 6 , 18 M , half-past two o ' clock in the afternoon . —Valentin Canalizo . —To Ms _Excel lency , General of Division , D . J . Joaquin de Herrera . " In half an hour afterwards , General Canalizo sent another dispatch , as follows : — "Exmo Sr : —The guarantees of which , I spoke in my last dispatch , wMch I Lave just sent , are , that passports to leave the Republic shall be given to myself , to the four Ministers , and to the Commandante General . God and Liberty . National Palaee of Mexico , Dec . 6 , 1844 , three o ' clock in the afternoon . Valentin Canalizo . —To the Senor General of Division , D . J . Joaquin de Herrera . "
After receiving these notes , Gen . Herrera- with his troops forced their way into the palace , _seizcd'Canalizo and detained Mm with Salas prisoners in the palace , the Ministeis of War and the Home Department being released on giving security , and Rejon and Baranda making their escape . Gen . Herrera- then issued _thefoUoiriflgimportant proclamation ' . — "Jose Joaquin de Herrera , President of the Council of Government to the Inhabitants ofthe Capital . Mexicans , —A blind and audacious government Lad violated the laws , believing -that society was wholly dependent npon its decrees . But I , * having been invoked bv all classes and by the principal commanders and
eMefs of the garrison , have re-established constitutional order , and am proud of having spared to Mexico and her vast population the anarchy and dissensions arising out of merely isolated efforts . I , therefore invite every patriot to rally around the legitimate government which Irepresent tMough tLe constitution ; and the national Congress , wliich has assembled withm afew hours , will accomplish everything wMch the safety of the country requires from it . Thus will tiiis momentous event be rendered worthy of national pride—a hope wluch is sincerely shared bv vour fellow-citizen , JoseJ . _Db Herheka . — Mexico , iiecember 6 th , 1844 . "
On thc Tth of December , the day following this proclamation , anewgovernmentwasoigauized . General Herrera was constituted Provisional President ofthe Republic . His Cabinet is composed as follows : Don Pedro Echevcrria , Minister of internal Affaire ; Don Luis G . Cuevas , Minister of Foreign Affaire ; Don Cariano Rivapalacio . Minister of Justice and Public Instruction ; Gen . Pedro Garcia Conde , Minister of War and Marine . The iVeui Orleans Bee says that thc new ministry is composed of the ablest and most honest men in the Republic . Around it are arrayed all the power , wealth , and influence ofthe nation . Echeverria is a member of the firm of Widow , Echeverria and Sons , well known in the
commercial world for its respectability and influence . He was educated in England , and is a man of enlightened and sagacious intellect . Senor Cueves occupied the post of Minister for Foreign Affairs during the French contest , and acquitted himself with signal ability . He was ed _« cated fcr a diplomatic careerj and figured once as Minister to Prussia . Conde ia chief ofthe engineer corps ; he is the son of a Spanish General , and said to be a clever youngman . The city of Mexico , was immediately filled with the most tumultuous rejoicings . Messages of congratulation were exchanged between the two Houses of- Congress , and the new President was waited upon by thousands of Ms fellow citizens . The demonstrations
of the mob were still more energetic and emphatic . Portraits or Santa Anna in the public places werc torn down and dragged _tM-ough the streets , and torn into fragments , and every one preserved a piece as a memento of their oppressor ' s downfall . The statue of Santa Anna in the plaza was tumbled down , broken in pieces , and the head borne in triumph through the city . It is also stated that the crowd , intoxicated with joy and frantic with revenge , afterwards proceeded to the monument where the embalmed leg of their Dictator had been buried with so much pomp a year or two since , broke it into atoms , and then kicked and dragged the embalmed limb through the plazas and principal thoroughfares of the city . Thus was acMeved without bloodshed , in the capital city ,
the overthrow of Santa Anna . But the movement was by no means confined to the capital . Indeed not a single department has been heard from , wMch holds oat for tho Dictator . In Vera Cruz , always considered Ms stronghold , the movement was _begma few miles from the city by CoL Senobio , who , with a few hundred followers , declared in favour of Congress . Soon after , Don Benito _Quijano , Governor of Vera Cruz , pronounced against Santa Anna , and in favour of the Congress , and immediately all was excitement and rejoicing . The populace first tore the portrait of tiie Dictator into tatters and then burned it in the public square , after wMch they proceeded in crowds toward the houses of several citizens who were obnoxious from their known _friendsMp for Santa
Anna thirsting for vengeance , and threatening to take their lives . Owing to the efforts ofthe Commandante General their lives were spared , he promising the populace that all those who had made themselves inimical to the best interests ofthe people should be banished the city . On thc following day order was completely restored , thc citizens in the meantime forming themselves into military bodies to resist any attempt that might be made by Santa Anna , and his friends . On the evening of the Pith of December , the tragedy of Brutus , or Rome made Free , was performed at the theatre in honour ofthe revolutionists . At PueblatLe rising was unamimous . TLe statue of Santa Anna was tumbled from its pedestal , and Lis portrait torn into shreds . At Jalapa & few persons were killed , and this is the only bloodshed during the entire revolution , so far as yet
appears . Santa Anna himself was at Queretao , I where he had about 2 , 500 men ; and even upon these it is most likely he can place but little reliance , His chance of escape seems but small . It is said that Congress has outlawed him unless he surrenders at once . It is further stated that the new Government offers him no terms short of his paying up the twelve millions of dollars ofthe publie money he is charged with having uselessly squandered or appropriated to his own private purposes . This condition it ean scarcely be possible to execute , and in default of complying " with it , he is threatened with death . Should Le succeed in escaping from the country , it is rumoured thathe will proceed to Cuba , _whei-e , with his princely revenues , he can still live in his accustomed splendour . His private fortune is estimated at some four millions of dollars .

Mr . Simister was called to the chair ; and Mr .

When The Weavers Must Declare Whether Th...
when the Weavers must declare whether they were willing to part with their protection , and as a consequence with their trade , for the free importation of corn . He would leave that question with them . —¦ Mr . John West then moved thc first resolution" That tMs meeting is of opinion , that unless steps be taken to circulate more , effectually the vast mass of wealth wMch our country at present contains , that that wealth , so far from proving a benefit , will prove a decidedinjury , aud hasten our downfall as a nation : and as the productive classes are and ever must be , the true circulating medium of every country , it is our decided opinion that protection lor labour should be afforded them , as it would enable them , by increased wa es , to give employment to those that are idle
and thus , by increasing the productive labour ot the country , render us independent of foreign trade . " Mr . West supported the resolution in a long speech , in wMch he gave the Leaguers a severe castigation . — Mr . D . Rowbotham _, an old veteran in the weavers ' cause , seconded the motion , which was earned unanimously . —Mr . S . Bentotemoved the second resolution— " That a committee of mquiry be appointed to collect evidence of the rate of wages , and the reductions that have taken place since the passing of Huskisson's Bill ; and also the variations of prices paid at the present day by different manufacturers in the Macclesfield district , with a view of laying the same before a delegate meeting ofthe whole Silk trade ofthe country , whoso duty it will be to prepare
a case to submit to Parliament the ensuing session : such delegate meeting to be held in some central part of England . " Mr . McCarthy seconded it , and it was carried unanimously . —Mr . West then moved the following resolution , observing if any Free Traders had any objections to make , now was the time , or for ever let thcmhold their peace : — "That this meeting is of opinion that one great cause of the present depressed condition of the Silk Trade , and the consquent reductions of _^ wages of the operatives employed ; therein , is the reduction of the protective duties' ; and . it is our decided conviction that no alteration in the corn and provision laws could enable us successfully to meet French competition , owing to the great advantages possessed by
that nation in their home production of the raw material , and various other natural advantages . " A Mr . Edwards said it was unfair to bring forward that resolution , as the weather was so unfavourable , that the people could not stand to have it fully discussed . The meeting universally responded ' that they would wait till morning , if Mr . Edwards would discuss thc question with Mr . West . Mr . Edwards said " not that night . " Mr . West then stated , that he was open to discuss the question with Mr . Edwards or any other person , at any time that might be agreed upon . The motion was then put , and carried unanimously . After a vote of thanks to the chairman , and _tiu * ee tremendous cheers for protection to Britishindustry , this great meeting separated . This was the greatest blow ever the League received in Macclesfield , and nothing but the fixed determination of the men to give the lie to the different League _spouters , who are continually asserting that the Silk
Weavers are willing to give up then * protection , could have induced them to stand in the snow , which was falling during the whole of the speeches . This meeting was a " great fact .

They applied to Heaton , the relieving officer , for relief , but he reihsed any , and told them he could give none , as they did not belong them , and refused to give an order for medical relief , stating that the town ' s doctor would not attend , as they belonged to another place . They obtained an order to the Infirmary , and was ordered medicine , but no food , or money to obtain it . There was no one to assist at the funeral of the child . On Friday , the father being taken ill that morning , aud not able to see his child interred , application was made to Heaton for assistance to carry the child to the grave , which he refused to grant . Mr .
_Sissona , the Infirmary doctor , called to see Nuttal on the Tuesday following : he cut his hair off and nut a blister oi _^ his head . He got worse , pulled the blister off , and got out of bed raging . His wife could render no assistance ; they were in great distress . On Saturday his wife went to Mr . Schwann's ; he gave her one _shilling and sixpence , and told her to goto the relieving-omcer . She said she had been , and he would do nothing for her . He told her to go again , and if he then reiused to let him know . I went with her to Heaton ' s house . His wife said he was not there , but at Ms office . Mrs . Nuttal went there , but fot nothing . On the Monday she went again ; her usband was then delirious , and continued so up to his death . Heaton came on the Wednesday to see
him . Mr . White told him she could not do with Nuttal any longer , as she . was getting nothing for him , and lier other lodgers were leaving on account of his illness . Heaton refused to send any one to look after him , or give his wife any money . Heard Kitty White say she bad not had one penny . On Friday Heaton came again , and Mrs . White said she would not let _jN T uttal stay any longer unless he ( Heaton ) would send some one to look after Mm . On Thursday deceased got out of bed , came down stairs , got to the door , and would have gone out , but we Erevented Mm . He struggled with us nearly an our ; he had neither shirt nor clothes on ; we got him from the door , aud set him in a chair , quite exhausted . In a short time he got up again , and said he would _jm to Manchester . Mrs . WMte came in and said , if he is determined to go let him , as I am
quite tired of these disturbances ; but put his clothes on . They then dressed him , and he went out ; his wife went with him . It was about five in the evening ; the mistress ' s son and a lodger went with them to Heaton ' s house to entreat of Mm to give them some relief . He was brought back by a watchman about eleven o ' clock that night ; Mrs . White refused to let Mm in again . The watchman insisted , and the door was opened . Heaton came in soon after ; he called the mistress and lodgers all sorts of foul names ; he gave them no money . Mr . Sissons came to see him ; until Mr . Tatham eanuv he was seen every day either by one doetor or the other . Heaton called on the Friday evening ; he said they were a lot of scamps ; he brought another man with him ( Dean , Ms brotherin-law , poorhouse-keeper at Alnioridbury ) _, who called _lliem Irish sluts , iuid _| abused them very much . Kitty
White complained about the man being neglected , Bnd said he was lost for want . Heaton said she and the other lodgers mi ght attend to him . Heaton came on Saturday , after the man was dead about two hours , and said , you have killed the man . I said to him ,, indeed you have killed liim by neglect . — Robert Pan * , husband of the former witness , corroborated the principal portions of Ms wife ' s evidence . 116 further statedcM & m facts , showing the brutality of the relieving-officer . Ann Malley , «« ervant to Kitty White and Julia QMnwick , as a washerwoman , gave similar evidence Ellen Nuttal , wife of the deceased , said , we came from Manchester ; my husband was 24 years of age , by trade a biscuit-maker , but could get no employment I applied to Heaton , the
relieving-oihccr , before my oluld died , for some assistance ; he said he could do nothing for us ; he gave me nothing . After the cliild died I went to him again ; he gave me a note for a coffin . and the burial dues On Friday , when my husband was ill , I again applied to Heaton for some one to assist in carrying my child tothe grave , but he would do nothing for me . On Saturday 1 applied to hhn again , * he said we did not belong here , and he would not visit my husband , nor give me anything . On Monday I went again ; he still refused . I then went to Mr . Schwann ' s and told hun my- situation ; he gave me Is . 6 d ., andtojdme to go tothe relieving-officer , who came in the afternoon and gave mo two sliillings The Infirmary doctor ( Mr . Sisson ) came the same evening ; he said my husband was very ill . On Tuesday morning , about ten o'clock , my husband being delirious we fetched the same doctor , who put a blister
on his head , and ordered a mustard-plaster—these he tore off , there not being sufficient assistance to hold him in bed ; we could noi prevent him from pulling the blister oft On Tuesday forenoon I went again to Heaton , and told hini my husband was much worse ; he came to see Mm in the evening ; he said the man is very bad and you must attend to him , but he gave me nothing . My husband was then speecMess . On Wednesday the doctor came again ; my husband was then quiet , being completely exhausted . On Thursday , Mr . Tatham , the town-doctor called in the forenoon ; my husband was then very bad and delirious ; the doctor said he was afraid he would not get better , but ordered neither " medicine nor _anvtlung for nourishment . Heaton came in ana ordered me to call at his office . I went , and he gave me one shilling . Wlion Heaton was there he was much worse . I told Heaton I was
unable to attend to my husband , being very unwell myself . He said he wouldBend awomantolook after Mm , but none came . About five o ' clock in the evening he got out of bed ( no one being in the chamber to take care of him ); he ¦ came down stairs naked . He said he would go to _Manchester ; he was then raging ; I and two other females "tewed" ( struggled ) with him for sear two hours , to keep him in the house . Mrs . WMte had gone to Dr . Tatham'sfor some medicine for me ; , she came back soon after six . She insisted on his clothes being put on . We dressed Mm and he went out . I went out with him . Wc went to the relieving officer's house . His wife said he was not at home , and she could do nothing for us . I brought him back , when Mrs . WMte refused to let
us come in again . We staid about twenty minutes ngainst the door , but she refused to let us in . We then tried to get lodgings at other places . We went to Coeney ' s , who kept lodgings , and got my husband to bed there . In a short time he began to rave . They said he wasin a fever , and turned us out again . A watchman found us in the street , and took us back to Kitty White ' s * , after we had got there , Heaton and the captain of the watch came in and saw Mm put to bed . On Friday he wanted something to eat . I gave Mm the best I had—some gruel and a little bread and milk . I again went to sec Heaton , who gave me Is . My husband got down stairs again that day , there being no one to take care of him . It took four men to hold him in bed on Friday . I asked Heaton to get some one to assist me ; he said he
would give Mrs . White 2 s . to look after him ; she said she was not able , and refused to take the UlOIlCy I and he then _^ ro mlsed to send some one , but no one came . 1 went again to Heaton ' s office , but did hot see Mm . Kitty White examined : —She said the man ( Nuttal ) had a little disorder in Ms throat when he came to her house . The child took ill arid died of small-pox the following week . They were in great distress and very poor ; had nothing to pay for lodgings with : she had kept them from sympathy . She then corroborated the evidence previously givenas to the relief , the raving of Nuttal , his desire to go to Manchester to hiB father , and said that when the man left her house , she immediately went to inform the chief constable , who sent
her to the overseer , who told her that the new Poor Law had taken the power entirely out of Ms hands , and directed her to go to Heaton , the relieving officer . She went , but could not find Mm . She had done all she could , hut the authorities would not assist her . She went to lay her case before the magistrate , but Heaton went up before her and said sometliing , and the magistrate refused to hear her at all , -Thomas Heaton examined ; I am the relieving officer for Huddersfield . On Wednesday week Mrs . Nuttal applied to me and said her child was ill of the small pox . She wanted some relief . I asked her if she had a husband ; she answered yes , he was hawking a few nuts and oranges . I said it was strange they should want relief when he
was following lus trade . She said they were not solely without money , but she wanted a doctor to attend her child . I said the town's doctor would not attend , as they were not paupers . On Thwaday Nuttal and Ms wife came tome and said tlmiv child was dead , and they had no means of burying it . I gave them a note for a coffin and the dues . They went away quite satisfied . The same night I called at the Cherry Tree Inn ; the woman was then shewing the burial certificate . The landlord said shehad been applying to him for relief to bury the child with . I asked her if she was not the same woman Iliad given the order for a coffin to ; she denied it . I asked her if her husband was not outside the door ; she said yes . I went out and brought him in , and he said
they were the same , but they had no money , and were compelled to beg to get sometliing to eat . I made inquiry , and found they had been at several shops in New-street . I mentioned the case to the Board of Guardians on Tuesday , who said they both desemd taking before the magistrates . On Saturday she applied at my house , but only saw my wife . On Monday she saw me , and said her husband was very ill ; this was at the relieving office . I told her that I must come and see lies , for shehad . imposed on me before . Isaid , as soon as I have done paying I will come and see him . About half-past two I went to my dinner , from there I went to Birkby , to visit sope P , ; * HDers > ai _» d about three o ' clock I called at Kitty White ' s ; saw there was no imposition , and relieved Nuttal and his wife with two shillings I
called the mistress ofthe house down stairs , and told her she must take care of him and I would get her anythmg she wanted . She said she could not attend to him , being unwell .. On Wednesday , the man ' s wife and Kitty White came to me and wanted some more rehet ; 1 said they had come too soon ; as they had alreadyhad two shillings I should not give her anything ; but if she would call again on Thursday _: I would dye her another shilling . On Thursday she did not come ; I went to the house and ; . found-thei man worse ; I gave them one shilhug , . and ordered the- woman to come before the board on Friday . I said you ought to keep him cl T' i ij ittj ' said his _wifo would not do for him . I said 1 told you I would pay you or any one you liked ? F . \ ° look aft _« r 1 "hi . I went from home that dav , and did not return until near eleven at night : When I . got home my wife told me that Nuttal and liis wife had been . They had stood outsido tho door waiting for me nearly an hour . I went down the street , and
met the captain of thc watch , and we went together to Kitty WMte ' s . We found the man sitting before a large fire ; I told thcin . ke ought not to be there , they must get him to bed . Kitty said that she must have him away . I said no , he must go to bed . The captain and I took Mm up stairs * . I saw him up stairs ; saw hun in bed ; and ordered them to take care of hun , and I would pay them . Mrs . Nuttal came before the board on Friday , and they ordered her Is ., and offered Kitty 2 s . if she would take care of Nuttal . She said she could not , as she was ill herself and had a sick child of her own to attend to , besides the other lodgers ; so the guardians ordered me to get some one . 1 tried . I applied to a pauper , but she refused to go ; I tried again , but could not get any body . [ Query—how far did he try ?] I went to
Kitty and told her to get some one , and I would pay them . On Saturday morning they came and said he was dead ; 1 gave them an order for a coffin and dues . I went to the poor-house myself to order tlic coffin ; looked over some coffins ready made , and sorted one to fit , and sent a man with it . I went to the church and ordered the grave-making . I then went to the- ' house and told them all was ready , and they might bury him as soon as they liked . Nuttal ' s wife said that Kitty White went to complain before the magistrates on Saturday . I asked them what they wanted . They said they had been badly treated by me , and had nothing , and wanted to . state their grievances . I told the Magistrates that the woman had been begging , and thoy would , not hear her . Considerable conversation ensued *' as to the
propriety ot having such cases sent to . the vagrantoffice , which is kept by a master and matron , paid from the poor-rates , and was instituted as a place of refuge for the destitute ; and particularly to prevent contagion . Heaton said it was unlikely that such cases should go there , while certain members of the jury were decidedly of opinion that this was the proper and appointed place , and that it was the duty of Heaton to nave them taken there at once when found to be ill ; that if tMs had been done , there would have been no necessity for their begging The investigation commenced at a quarter past one at noon , and was not finished until half-past seven in the evening , when the following verdict was recorded— " Died from natural causes , but the jury are of opinion that death was accelerated from want ot proper sustenance and attention , "
AwfUi BoniER . _Explosion . — On Monday afternoon last , a tremendous explosion of a steam boiler took place at the Cinder Hill Colliery , near Nottingham , by which one unfortunate man lost his life , and several others wem severely wounded . The awful event is supposed to have been caused by _« . deficiency of water in the _boiha _* . The engine-house was completely levelled , for such was the terrific force of the steam that the top of the boiler was projected into the air almost as liigli as the tall chimney , and was thrown into an adioiuing field . A lad , named George
Sanders , a ; edl 3 , of Old Radford , was blown backwards with considerable force ; he received a severe wound upon the head , and was taken up insensible . A higler _, Charles Eaton , of Old Radford , aged 51 , who was standing about ten yards from the engine-house , was also thrown within two feet ofthe pit mouth ; he had his leg broken . The overseer , who was near the spot , was struck upon the chest by a brick , with suchtovce as to cause immediate death . There were many other persons about , most of whom werc more or less injured .
Cork . —Suicide . —On Monday a young man named Maurice Connor , of Bandon-road , who had been drinking for several days , and had dissipated all he possessed , even to Ms bed-clothes , threw nimself into the river at Lavitt ! s quay , near the Coal-quay . A police-officer passing at the tune bravely jumped into tho river and strove to save the drowning man , but in vain , he sunk to rise no more . The officer himself was saved with difficulty . Fire ate _Vxckeh ' s _Distiuekv . —On Friday , at noon , considerable alarm prevailed in the vicinity of the Borough market , in consequence of the sudden outbreak of afire , which a € one time threatened greatdestruction of property , upon , the _extensive and
wellknown range of premises belonging to Messrs . Joscpii and John Vickers , the distillers , situate in Stoneystreet , near Barclay and PerMns ' s brewery , The fire originated in the still-house , a large building in which there were four or five stills at work . It was caused by an escape of spirit through the manhole ot a still containing about 1200 gallons . With all speed numerous engines of the London brigade were at the scene , and also one belonging to the West of England Company . The workmen having exerted themselves in a most praiseworthy manner in drawing off the spirit , < fec , all danger of the fire extending was at an end by the time the brigade arrived , and one engine was found sufficient to cool the building .
_Aurmiko-. Fibs and Narrow Escape of Two Persons .- — Friday night , between nine and ten o ' clock , a fire-was discovered burning upon the premises in the occupation of Mr . Moses _Heyman , tailor and draper , carrying on business at No . 2 , Eveline-place , Commercial-road East . The first discovery was made by a female servant , who had been left in charge of a child , during the absence of her master and mistress . It appears that she had her attention directed by smelling fire very strongly , and which was accompanied with a loud cracking noise as of wood undergoing the process of combustion . Feeling convinced that a fire was raging in the shop , she took the _cluld up in her amis , and madu for the door , when she found the same fastened ; she therefore went to the back window , and having given an alarm , succeeded in making her way with the child to the top of the water-butt , where she was
forced to remain until extricated by a neighbour . There being an abundant supply of water at hand the firemen , with the aid of tne neighbours , succeeded in soon extinpishing the fire , not however until considerable damage had been done to the stock in trade and also to the building . Fire asd Loss op Life . —Late on Thursday night a fire broke out at No . 2 , Blue Anchor-yard , St , George ' s in the East , which was let out to several poor families . Smoke issuing out of the second floor front , caused some persons to make the discovery . Upon entering the apartment , the bed was found in a complete blaze , and a little girl , about four years of age , burnt in such a dreadful manner that she expired shortly afterwards . The flames were eventually confined to the room in question . The origin ofthe outbreak is unknown . _k
Fatal Accident to a Guard upon the Railway —On Monday night , Gardener , the guard upon the down mail train , which reached Witham at thirteen minutes past ten , p . m ., was , on the arrival of the train there , missing , and from information received from , a policeman in the service of tho company , who was in one of the carriages , it was conjectured that he had fallen off near Boreham , about four miles from the station . A messenger was immediately dispatched along the line in search of him , and he was found lying across the rails in a state of insensibility . By this time an engine sent back on the arrival of the train from Colchester had come up and proceeded at a rapid pace to Chelmsford , where the assistance of
Mr . Lovell , surgeon , was procured , Gardner having been in the mean time removed to the Cook publichouso at Boreham . On examination thc unfortunate man appeared to be lifeless , a death-like coldness _prevading-his whole frame , and although only slight cxtcrnal injuries were apparent , he remained in a state of insensibility until yesterday morning , at one o ' clock , when he expired . From the statement of the _policepian , it would seem that deceased descended from his seat with a view to speak to some one in the train , when he accidentally missed his footing and fell . He was a fine young man , about 28 years ot age , and has left a widow ., who was in attendance upon hini when he died , and two children . —Chelmsford Chronicle ,
Accidest os the Great Western Railwat . —On Thursday morning an accident occurred upon this line of railway that will probably be attended with a fatal result . A goods train left Paddington at halfpast four o ' clock in the morning , and stopped at the West London Junction at Wormwood Scrubs , to attach another carnage . One ofthe guards , named HoratialNelSOn Tolverner , descending for the purpose of attaching the connecting chain or driving bar , had imprudently ventured in between the train and the stationary truck whilst the former was in the act of backing mto the " siding" where that truck stood .
The consequence of such an imprudent step was , that as the man stooped to adjust the chain his head became jammed between the buffers ofthe last truck in thc goods train and the stationary one . The unfortunate man dropped instantly , lie was picked up immediately in a senseless state , with thc blood pouring from his ears . He was removed to St . George ' s Hospital , where , upon examination , it was a ' stertained that he had received a severe fracture at the base of the skull , and the injury was considered of so extensive a nature that his recovery was thought uncertain . .
_MrsiERious Death at Camden Town . —On Thursday Mr . Wakley , M . P ., and a most respectable jury , assembled at the Elephant and Castle King s-road , Camden Town , to investigate the death ot Mr . Anthony I ' ortington , aged 64 , house and land agent , of No . 1 , Oxford-crescent , who was found drowned in the Regent ' s Canal , on thc morning of Tuesday last , under very mysterious and suspicious circumstances . Tiie jury returned a verdict of Found Drowned , but how deceased came rn the water there was no evidence to show .
DREADFUL MURDER . AND SUICIDE IN finsburt . " ' , : Shortly after the opening of the Worship-street police-court on Friday morning ,-an official communication was made to Mr . Bingham , the sitting magistrate , bv Inspector Jervis , of the G division , ol a _frio-htfuf tragedv which had been enacted in the neighbourhood ofthe court , ill the course oi tho precedin" - nHit , The inspector stated that about ten o ' clock that morning information arrived at the police station in Featherstone-street , where he was on duty , that a man , named Joseph Barry , a- _surgicalmstrument iiialcer _, residing at No . 4 Lukof _^ , _* . Finsburv , had , duringtheprecedmgiiight , murdered his wife , MarvPriscilla Barry , and afterwards destroved _lihnsolf-. bv cutting his throat with a razor .
He ( thc inspector ) immediately proceeded to tne house , and , from inquiries , ascertained the following particulars of this dreadful occurrence : —It appeared that thc onlv parties residing in the house were the man Barry and his wife , both of whom were considerably advanced iu years , and their youngest sou , a lad about fifteen yearn of ago . Tho wretched man had been absent on business the greater part of thc day , and on his __ return home , about ten o'clock at night , after sitting a short time in the parlour , in company with his wife , with whom he appeared to be on the best of terms , he told her to go up stairs to bed and that he would soon follow her . 'ihe woman complied with liis wish , and the husband remained below a considerable time-after , apparently asleep in a chair by the
side of tho fire ; but on being roused by Ms son , who urged him to retire to rest , he started up , with a look of peculiar wildncss in his eyes , and wishing him a hasty good night , repaired to his sleeping apartment , the front room on thc first floor . Shortly afterwards the son also went to bed in a room on thc story above , and on awakening at nine o'clock the following morning aud proceeding down stairs , he was surprised to find that neither of his parents had yet risen . He went up to their bed-room for ihe purpose oi calling them , but received no answer , and finding that the door was locked on the insido , his fears became greatly excited , and on looking through the keyhole he was horror-struck at discovering that the upper parts of the sheets and bed , which stood close against
the window , were completely saturated witn blood . He instantly hastened in a . state of extreme terror , to the next house , wliich was occupied by-Ms two elder brothers , and on apprising them of what he had just witnessed they ran back with hun and burst open the bed-room door , where they found their parents extended side by side on the bed , with their throats cut in a horrible manner , and both of them apparently lifeless . On recovering from thc shock produced by such an appalling sight a messenger was dispatched for Mr . Hall ' , a surgeon , in Paul-street , who soon after attended ; but , on examining the bodies , he declared his inability to render the slightest assistance , as both the man and his wife had evidently been dead for some hours . The inspector , accompanied by
policeconstable Eames , G 104 , who arrived at the house directly after the surgeon had left it , made a minute examination of tiie room in which the shocking occurrence had taken place , anil , on searching the floor at the foot ofthe bed found two razors , both of them open and covered with blood , one lying close to the left foot-post of tho bedstead , and the other between the opposite vallancc and the wall adjoining thc window . Beside thc spot where the first razor was discovered thc officers found a chair , on which was placed an open razor-case , greatly discoloured With _rt-Cft »!" - _" _"p . _'ooc _. _one _nV liln / _vljr _finoroi'Q and it was , therefore , supposed that after cutting his wife's throat with one of the razors , the wretched man had returned to the case for the second weapon , and , getting into bed with it , afterwards _destroyed-himself in the same manner . From the unruffled appearance of the bed-clothes , and the placid expression of the unfortunate woman ' s countenot been
nance , it was likewise manifest thatshe had disturbed by her husband ' s movements , and that he must haYe murdered her inher sleep . The inspector concluded by stating that a great many rumours were in circulation assigning motives for the horrible deed , but that the whole of them were purely imaginary ; as from all thc inquiries he had made -it appeared that the murdered woman and her husband had lived on the most cordial aud affectionate terms ; and , as they were also in veiy comfortable circumstances , it was impossible to conceive any reason for the perpetration of the dreadful acts . The melancholy occurrence has created a most painful sensation in the neighbourhood , and attracted vast crowds to the house during the whole of the day . The deceased had lived a great many years in the locality , and together with their sons , who are in the same line or business in the house immediately adjoining , had , by the propriety of their conduct , acquired the respect and goodwill of all their neighbours .
Fire in Gray _' _s-inn-Lane . —On Tuesday night , shortly before ten o ' clock , a fire , which had it not been for its timely discovery , would have been attended with thc most disastrous consequences , broke out upon the extensive premises belonging , to Messrs . Owen and Stodard , pianoforte manufacturers , situate in Ham-yard , _Gray's-inn-Iane . It originated on the ground-floor , in . which a ; -large quantity of shavings were deposited . A person passing near that part of the building perceived an unusual light therein , wMch induced him to raise the necessary alarm . Several police-constables and other persons hastened to the spot , when they found the flames making fearful progress towards the upper floors . Plenty of water being at hand , they set to work most vigorously , and succeeded in confining the flames to that portion of the building where thoy commenced . Several engines of the Drigade were prompt in arriving , but fortunately their services werc not required .
