&ie seUtvsioito . Health of Xoxbos ^ Trkg tiie wEFK -The return for the weekending last Saturday shows i £ T * Z f ? ' number wh 5 ch > s less by 270 2 Sii ? ly * aTera Se of five previous autnmns raided according to probable increase of population . It is sattsfhetory to observe that , as compared with the average , namely 1 , 162 , the mortality has exhibited a considerable decrease durin <* a period of seven weeks ; from the beguming of the present month the total deaths in each week have been less than 900 . In the class of zymotic or epidemic diseases 173 deaths are enumerated , whilst the average is 307 ; from diseases of the respiratory organs 170 ( being an increase of 3 C on the precedin g
week ) , whilst the average is 214 . Ththisis , which is not included in the latter class , was fatal to 104 persons , or rather less than the usual number pneumonia , or inflammation of the hints ( which ' now increases rapidly , ) to 82 , nearly alf children , and bronchitis to 60 . From typhus there were only 24 deaths , a smaller number than has been recorded lor a long period ; from scarlatina , 35 ; from measles , 30 ; from hooping-cough only 12 ; from influenza , 4 . The mortality from small-pox , which has recently been low , suddenly rose from 6-deaths m theprevious week to 17 in the last . Fortunately the deaths from diarrhoea , which were only 16 , are now 7 below the average . Only two deaths from cholera were registered in the week ; a man who Lad lived in Shilton-court , Bedfordbury , died in
Charing-cross Hospital , of " consecutive fever after cholera" ( three weeks ' illness ); and a child after eighteen hours' illness in Blaudford-mews , in the Bectory , JIarylebone . A woman of forty-six years , on v . hom an inauest was held , died in the Re <» ent ' spark sub-listrict , of " exhaustion from want of sufficient food , " according to the verdict of the jury . —Annexed to tie present return are tables of J 8 , 16 Gdeaths from cholera and diarrhoea in London , distinguishing 8 ex , and showing the different ages at which they occurred , and also the annual rate of mortality derived from the deaths and population at each age . Amongst other facts , it is shown that the mortality from the epidemic was uniformly greater aruu :: ! j males than females up to the age of thirty or i :. inT-fire ; that between thirty-five and
fortyfive years , women suffered more ; that in the decennial period following , the rate of mortality was nearly equal to both sexes , and that up to 83 it was greater among women , at which age the proportion turns in their favour . It also appears that from twenty-five years the rate of mortality constantly increased up to extreme age , though generally diarrhoea was the milder form which the epidemic assumed in the case of octogenarians . —The first table may be read thus : —Of 18 , 166 persons who died from cholera and diarrhoea in the fifty-five weeks ( from October 7 , 1848 , to Octobeer 20 , 1849 ) , 2 , 336 were boys , and 2 , 04 s girls , under five years' of ago ; and 1 , 108 of the boys and 99 Softhe girls died of cholera ; 1 . 22 S of the boys and 1 , 110 of the girls died of diarrhoea , ai all ages , were—males S 47
, females 102 ; from cholera , alone , females 154 ; or toal deaths from cholera and diarhoea , at all ages , there were 118 males living ; and from cholera alone 149 males living ; from diarrhoea alone 586 males living to 1 death annually . The mean reading of tie barometer was about 30 inches on Tuesday ; the mean of the week was 29 . 753 . The mean temperature was belov the average of the same days -m . seven years , during the last five days , except on Iwday ; when it was slightly higher . The mean of the week was 43 . 3 . ; on Thursday it was only 38 . 3 dee ., but rose 6 deg . on the day following . Suspicions Death os Boaed a Yessei .. —On Saturday last Sir . Vf . Payne received information respecting the death of a girl named Elizabeth Pledge , aged sixteen years , who was found dead under
suspicious circumstances on board the Pauline Hall , of Holland , Captain Carruthers .. Mr . Meed , the summoning officer of St . Olive ' s parish , Tooley-street , in whose district the deceased was discovered , informed the coroner that the body had been removed to the workhouse , where it awaited an inquest , but it would be useless to call an inquiry without first making a post mortem , examination of the body , as there did not seem to him to be any external violence likel y to account for death . From what he ( the ofiicer ) could learn since the police had had the case in hand , it would be ascertained that the deceased had died from taking an immense quantity of nollnnds . The coroner agreed with the officer , and at once gave an order for an examination , which was subsequently placed in the hands of Mr . Pettigrew , surgeon , of Tooley-street . Southward
Suicide bt ax Omxibos CosnueTOR . —Oa Saturday last an inquest was held by Mr . II . M . Wakley , at the Robinson Crusoe , Earl-street , Edgewareroad , on Andrew William Walker , an omnibus conductor , aged thirty-nine , ' late in the employ of Mrs . Gaywood . About nine months ago deceased was compelled to leave his usual avocation from a nervous attack and general bad health , which greatly affected his sp irits , and produced despondency . A few months since he attempted to cat his throat , when his wife prevented him . On Friday he went to his bedroom , and securing the door , hung himself by a small cord from the rail of his bed . Although he was soon cut down and prompt surgical help wassecured , all efforts to restore fife proved unavailing . . Verdict , "Insanity . " Deceased has left a -widow and two orphans to lament his premature death .
Death fkou Immobebate Diuxkkg . —An inquest was held by Mr . W " . Baker , at the London Hospital , touching the death of James Brabant , aged fiftythree , a wine cooper , in the employ of the London Dock Company . It appeared from the evidence of the witnesses that on the 21 st ult . the deceased was directed to fill fifty bottles , each containing three gills , with brandy which had just arrived , and was considered over proof . In abo . it an hour afterwards the deceased was discovered lying on the West-quay in an insensible state , from the effects of liquor ; and subsequently upwards ot twenty-five of the bottles were found more or Ics 3 empty . Deceased "was seen by Mr . Jenkins , a surgeon , who directed Mm to be sent to the London Uospital , where , on his arrival , life was found to be extinct . Yerdict , " jSatural death , accelerated by drinking a quantity of brandy over proof . "
Suspicions Death ojf Limehouse Reach , —Oa Monday an inquest was held before Jlr . Carter , at the Duke of York , Swan-lane , Rotherhithe , on the body of Thomas Wallis , aged 30 years . The deceased was a labourer . On the 17 th inst . he met the captain of a trading barge ( from Herefordshire ) at a publichouse in Lamehonse , where they got in conversation and had a quantity of liquor . Late the same night the deceased , the captain , and a female left together , and proceeded to a boat , which they engaged at Dake « staire , Limehouse , giving directions to the waterman to convey them to the barge . The waterman accordingly rowed them off and put them safe ou board . The deceased ultimately commenced quarreling with the captain , and shortly afterwards a ar ; was heard of " A man overboard . " Several boats put off immediately , but the deceased was not found , although every search was made for him .
Henery Parrier , the waterman , who conveyed the deceased on board the vessel , stated that before he rowed away he distinctly heard the deceased and the captain quarreling . Witness heard some one say " You won ' t do it , " and soon afterwards a splash was aeard in the water . "William Beacon , the captain of - 'he barge , was called , and cautioned by the coroner : He said the deceased came on board , and whilst assisting ia bringing the ves ^ -l up , he missed his footing and fell overboard . They had some words , but he never ilid the deceased any injury . Other evidence having been offered , the jury wished the attendance of the fenule who went on board , but Mr . Ganieaer , th ^ officer , assured the coroner that he had made every effort to find her , bnt without effect . Ths coroner subsequently summed up the evidence , and reprimanded the captain for his conduct in the affair , after which the jury returned a-verdict of " Accidental death . "
Suspicious Death . —On Monday Mr . Bedford , the coroner for Westminister , resumed an inquiry ¦ which had been commenced some davs since into the circumstances attendant upon the death of Mr . T . Wildman , who was found upon the pavement opposite ColHver ' s coffee house , in Holy well-street , having apparently fallen from one of the windows . At the commencement of the inquiry the evidence showed that the deceased had entered the coffee-house about 11 at night , and had retired to bed . A young gentleman , a friend of his , sleptwith him , and both were apparently quite sober . At two in the morning the landlady heard a n-. ise on the pavement , and after-• wardsa moan . Almost immediately the young man who slept with the deceased ran down stairs , exchiming that his friend had thrown himself out of
window . He then returned , dressed himself . and went away , and nothing more was seen of him . At the assembling of the jury on Monday , it was Stated that bo trace had been found of the Mend of deceased . —Joseph Hawkes , a mariner , came forward , and stated that three or four years since he slept in Colliver ' s coffer-house on the same floor . He was tipsy when he went in , and Mr , ar . d Mrs . Coliiver asked him to take wine , lie took two glasses , for which they refused payment , and then he went to bed . lie was found about 3 o ' clock in the morning lying on the pavement , very seriously hurt . His watch and chain were afterwards returned to him ,
and some silver , but he believed that some gold which , he had in is pocket was not given to him . Mr . Wildman , the brother of the deceased , said that there was no reason to believe that Iris brother ' s affairs Were disonled . He had been rather excited lately and had-lived freely . When witness questioned him at the hospital as to how hecam <> ti the coffee-house in Uolywell-street , he was to ill to answer . —William Robinson , a fire-escape conductor , wao was on the . spot soon after t he deceased fe ^ sta tedthat he rau to fetch a cab ; between the time of his . departure and return there was no tim * forany person to havedressed and runaway ™ * ShinS" ! ° okeda t ^ bedaTcVwa and saw footmarks oa the counterpane as if some

persons had lain down with his boots on outside the bed . The servants of Mr ? . Coliiver , the proprietress of the estab'ishraent , were called , but no additional fact was collected from them . The jury , who apparently entered warmly into the case , were for a long time undecided as to whether they should adjourn the case , or return an open verdict . The coroner repeatedly assured them that no additional testimony could be procured , as the evidence of the friend of the deceased was open to so much suspicion that it would be of little valoe . Several jurors expressed strong opinions on the matter , but ultimately a verdict was agreed to , "That the deceased died from injuries sustained by a fall from a window , but how he came by that fall there was no evidence to show . " Suicide of a Publican . —On Mondav morning a
publican named G . Moade , who kept the Boot public-house , in Wells-street , Oxford-street , committed suicide by cutting his throat with a razor . The deceased had occasion to go into his cellar about seven o ' clock on the morning in question , and shortly afterwards a female domestic discovered him sitting on a small beer barrel , with his throat cut from car to ear . A surgeon was immediately fetched , but life was found to be quite extinct . An inquest was held by Mr . Wakley , at the above-mentioned publichouse , on Tuesday evening , and the evidence elicited showed that the deceased had been in a desponding state of mind for some months past , but that he had never before attempted to destroy himself . The jury returned a verdict of "Temporary Insanity . "
Fire at Notting-Hul . —Saturday morning last shortly after one o ' clock , information was received at the West of England Engine-station , in the Waterlooroad , of a serious fire having broke out atNottinghill , near Shepherd ' s-bush . Upon , the engines reaching the spot it was found that the fire had originated in one of the spacious buildings in Union-terrace , in the occupation of Mr . Muggeridge , a perfumer , < fec , 3 So . 6 , in that thoroughfare , and that a most serious destruction of property had taken place . Poiice-constable Threadbold , No . 66 T , in passing along his beat perceiving an unusual glare of light in the front sbop , _ sprang hiB rattle , and succeeded after some time in making the numerous inmates aware of their danger . In the course of a few minutes a number of
females made their appearance at the private door in their night clothes , screaming and begging of the police to save them . Other assistance having arrived the poor creatures were carried on the backs of the police and neighbours to the opposite tavern , which had scarcely been accomplished when a loud noise was heard to proceed from the shop similar to the discharge of fire-arms . This it is believed was caused by the explosion of the gas meter , for in an instant afterwards the flames entered every floor in the lofty building , penetrating tbe roof , and rushing out of the various windows with the greatest impetuosity . On the western side of the blazing property were the premises of Mr . Wotton , tea-dealerand Italian ware houseman , in which a most costly stock in trade was deposited . On the other aide stood the stores of Mr .
Hill , corn-chandler , in which articlesof the most inflammable character , including many loads of hay and straw , were stacked . The moment the front of the premises belonging to the last named party became ignited , the neighbours commenced removing the property of Mr . Wotton , Mr . Hill , Mr . Hume , stationer , and Mr . Robinson , fishmonger . Some dozen loaves of sugar , boxes of fruit , and chests of tea with counters , pianofortes , and quantities of stationery were carried out into the street . Four brigade engines , were at once set to work , but notwithstanding that the firemen mounted the roofs of the contiguous houses , and laboured most incessantly . It was nearly four o ' clock ere the fire v / as entirely extinguished . The total loss by this disastrous event must be very considerable , and not the least information could be obtained as to the probable cause of the misfortune . .
JURE it HOHSLTDOWN . —On Monday morning a fire broke out in the crucible manufactory of Mr . Cleghorn , Weavers-lane , Horslydown , and in spite of the most strenuous exertions , the flames could not be conquered until the factory in which the disaster commenced was nearly destroyed . The escape of the adjacent premises may be ascribed wholly to the indefatigable exertions of the firemen . Suspected Incekdurism at Islington . —Shortly before midnight on Monday an alarm was given that the premises belonging to Mr . Frederick Pizzey , a furniture broker and general dealer , No . 17 a , Lower-road , Islington , were on fire . Mr . Uaddeley , the inspector , of the Royal Society for the Protection of Life from Fire , quickly attended with the escape , and having entered the premises from one of the upper windows , he made his way
to tne iront cellar / where ho found a heap of hay and some rags burning on the floor , over which were piled in a slanting direction four loose boards . The parish engineer and Mr . Baddeley succeeded in extinguishing the fire before any considerable damage was done . Mr . Pizzey was not at home when the alarm was g iven , and from the fact of some of the shutters being covered with canvass to prevent the li ght shining through , there is ground ' for supposing that during his absence some person entered the premises and set them on fire . Mr . Braidwood ' s official report describes tbe cause of the fire as "Doubtful . " Fire and Loss op Life . —On Wednesday even , ing , shortly before five o clock , a fire , involving a
considerable destruction of property , and the loss of one , if not more , lives , broke out in the premises in the occupancy of Mr . Sullivan , a lodging-house keeper , &c , carrying on business in Great Wildstreet , between Orange and Lincoln courts . The premises in question were of considerable extent , and were bounded on either side by the houses in the two courts above mentioned . In spite of the most strenuous exertions of the firemen , floor after floor fell in rapid succession a prey to the fury of the flames , and it was not until past nine o ' clock that the fire could be extinguished , and net until the whole upper part of Mr . Sullivan ' s premises was completely destroyed . As soon as the place was sufficiently cooled for the firemen to enter , they ascended by means of the scaling-ladders to the upper
part of the house destroyed , and after searching for some time they found the lifeless body of a poor man who was said to be missing , though every effort had been made to arouse him . He was lying on his face on the second floor , and from , the contortion of the features it was quite clear that he had died from suffocation . His name , it is understood , was James Oliver ; and it is stated that he was a pensioner in the Royal Navy . A shell was immediately procured , and the body was plaeed therein , and removed to the workhouse , where it awaits a coroner ' s inquest . A prevailing opinion is , that the poor fellow who has thus been prematurely hurried into eternity , was the the cause of the misfortune , through smoking tobacco in his bed-room . The loss , which is rather extensive , is covered by insurances in several of the London fire-offices .
Shddex Deaths of Mn . Turocand and Mn . Sergeaxt Lawes . —We regret to have to record the sudden deaths of two highly-esteemed officials of the Coart ^ of Bankruptcy in Bssinghall-street . About eleven in the morning of Wednesday , Mr . Turquand arrived by an omnibus in King William-street , City , from his residence at Norwood . Having alighted , be entered tbe shop of Mr . Dakin , chemist , and staggering and evincing symptoms of illness , asked for a little sal volatile . His request was immediately complied with ; but Mr . Dakin , observing that lie was speechless and incapable of swallowing , immediately despatched a messenger for Mr . Anderson , surgeon , himself and an assistant in the . meantime administering all the restoratives in their power .
After the lapse of a verj few minutes , however , it was found that life was exinct . Mr . Stacey , a clerk in the court of which Mr . Turquaad was official assignee , happening to be passing Mr . Dakiu ' s almost immediately after the painful occurrence , his attention became attracted to the spot , and the sorrowful intelligence was communicated to Mr . Turqnaud , jun ,, and other members of the family . The painful event created a very strong and general feeling of sympathy on its becoming known at the Bankruptcy Coart , where . Mr . Turquand was highly esteemed for the courteous manner in which he discharged his official duties . The death of Mr . Sergeant Lawes , the chief registrar of the court , was not of quite so sudden a character
, Although he was able to attend the court so recently as Monday last , and his death at Ms residence became known on Wednesday morning , the learned gentleman had been previously indisposed . By a recent regulation , the appointment of official assignee will not be filled up . The other valuable appointment is in the patronage of the Lord Chancellor . Accidents Ddrixo the Foo . —Throughout Saturday and Sunday the metropolis and environs was visited at intervals by a dense fog . Between ei"ht and ten o ' clock on Saturday , an alarming collision between two omnibuses took place in Oxford-street by which two persons were seriouslv imnrnrl in

Sculptures fob thk British Museum . — The vessel Urania , arrived in the St . Katharine ' s Docks , from Bussorab , has brought several packages of marble , as a portion of her cargo . These marbles are a further portion of tho Assyrian sculptures brought to this country for the purpose of being deposited in the British Museum ; and the Lords Commissioners of her Majesty ' s Treasury have issued the necessary directions to the proper authorities for their removal from the Docks to the Museum , for the purpose of being placed in that national establishment .
Throwing Stones at the Trains on the South Westbhn and Windsor LiNE . —On Saturday last George Fletcher , William Stuckley , and Henry Harris , varying in age from twelve to fourteen years , were brought before themagistratesat Twickenham , charged with throwing stones at a train on the South Western and Windsor Railway , and thereby injuring William Dear , the fireman of the " Charon " engine . The offence was proved by the evidence of several witnesses , and it appeared that the practice was one of frequent occurrence . A young gentleman was at present an inmate at the Ophthalmic Hospital , at Cbaring-cross , who had been struck in the sye by a stone whilst travelling on this lineand it . was
, feared he would lose the use of that organ . The prisoners made no denial of the charge . The magistrates observed that under the General Railway Act they had the power to commit the prisoners for trial , for the misdemeanour , which rendered them liable to two years' imprisonment with hard labour , and were it not for their youth they would have been committed , for this was a most dangerous nuisance , ; and if not suppressed , people would become so alarmed as to cease travelling by the railways . In this instance tho prisoners were committed to the Westminster Bridewell for one month each , with hard labour , but in all future cases they would put the extremity of the law in force .

with the chisel . I did not see the prisoner ' s body nor face at the time , but I saw his arm strike the blow . The . deceased did not fall , but stood leaning against the railing of the cellar steps . The prisoner stood on the cellar steps . Immediately I saw the stab I ran out of the house to deceased , and pulled open bis shirt and waistcoat . The blood was gushing out , and 1 asked him to come to the infirmary . He said , " No ; he was not hurt . " I put my left hand to the wound , to stop the blood , and my right hand to his back , and got hint to run with me towards the infirmary . When we arrived at St . Paul ' s Church , at the top of Turner-street , he fell from faintneas and loss of blood , and I asked some people
in tbe street to place him on my back , and they did so . I ran with him towards the infirmary , and with assistance of some other persons I succeeded in getting him there . When at the infirmary I assisted to wash the blood from his wound , which was a little below the breast , rather nearer to theleft breast than to the ri ^ ht . After 1 saw the prisoner threaten Grindle with a chisel , I did no not see his face again till after he had struck Hayes . I saw only an arm , but the chisel was one with a ragged handle , and was the same I had seen in the prisoner ' s hand when he threatened Grindle . I believe it was the one produced though at first 1 thought the blade nitler . —The prisoner on being asked if he had any question to put to this witness , said , " Did you not see deceased strike me before I stabbed him ?"—Witne . s : No , I did not . —Some further evidence having
been given , the coroner asked the prisoner whether he had any witnesses to call , to show that he had received provocation from the deceased . —The prisoner replied that he had spoken . of a female to the police officer , but could show that he had received great provocation , but she was not in attendance . —The coroner addressed the jury on the point of law distinguishing manslaughter from murder , the latter turned round , and , after a few minutes consultation , returned a verdict of "Wilful Murder" agairs ; Bernard Sheridan , the prisoner , — The wife of Sheridan had received a stab from him behind the head , it was stated , and she was n <> t present , npr did she seek to be present at the inquest . —The prisoner was subsequently committed for trial on the coroner ' s warrant , at the forthcoming South Lancashire winter assizes at Liverpool .
Revexge . —On" Monday , a case which caused great excitement , came before the Manchester magistrates , in which a young man named Charles Gooch , butler in the family of A . J . Wolff , Esq ., merchant , Greenheys , was charged with administering some poisonous or deleterious drug to six of his fellow servants , in revenge for supposed injuries which he had charged them with doing him , and which has led to his discharge from service . The prisoner had come into Mr . Wolffs service as butler , about a month ago , having previously held a similar situation in the family of a lady at Peterborough ; he did not give satisfaction to his master , and it was intimated to him , at the beginning of last week , that he would
have to kave at the end of the month . He then became very violent towards the other servants , accusing them of being the cause of his discharge , and declaring that he would have revenge . On Wednesday Mr . Wolff paid him his wages , and , having heard of his conduct , desired him at once to leave the house . The prisoner complied with this request , and left in the course of the evening , At a late hour on Wednesday night , when the servants had retired for some hours to rest , the family were alarmed by the intelligence that nearly the whole of the servants had boen taken ill , and that they were seized with violent pains in the stomach , accompanied with purging and sickness . The lady ' s maid and the cook were
suffering in a serious manner , and Mr . Wolff directed that medical men should be sent tor . Dr . Mellori of Burlington-street , Greenheys , visited them , and made inquiry as to the food the servants had taken during the previous day , but there was nothing In that which could possibly account for their sufferings . Mr . Mellor administered such relief as he could , and visited the servants twice on Thursday , and twice on Friday , before they were sufficiently recovered to render it safe to discontinue his attendance . On Friday , Robert Harrop , the footman , was in Oxford street , Manchester , when he met the prisoner , and they went to a public-house , where Harrop , tbld the latter how ill all tie family had
been , and be intormed Harrop that he had given them something which was the cause , andthere were two other of the servants which he yet intended " to do for . " The prisoner went and loitered about Mr . Wolff ' s grounds , on Friday night and Saturday , and on the latter day the statement of tbe prisoner to to Harrop having been communicated to Mr . Superintendent Taylor of the polioc , he was taken into custody . The servants described the cond uct of the accused as being violent , and stated a belief that he had caused their illness by some drug . Mr . Hodgson , the magistrate , at first ordered the case to be taken to the sessions , but afterwards disposed of the case summarily , for want of direct evidence against the
prisoner , by callinj upon him to find two sureties of £ 10 each to keep the peace for three months . In default of bondsmea the prisoner was locked up . Stabbing . —A case of stabbing occurred in Sheffiold on tho 23 rd ult , The sufferer is an old man , named Bartholomew Spink , residing in a yard near the bottom of Bread-lane ; and the offender , Charles Armitage , of Edward-street , joiner . A son of Armitage , who has been apprenticed to Spink , was lately brought before the magistrate on the charge of stealing files from S pink ' s fellow-workmen . Spink did not take any part in the prosecution , the case being proved by two of his fellow-workmen whose files had been stolen . The result was . that
the lad was committed to Wakcficld for a month . Armitago appears to have laboured under an impression that Spink had been tho means of sending his son to prison . On the day in question he went to Spink ' s house , winch ia in a yard loading from Broad-land into Garden-street , and mado use of very violent and abusive language , Spink -went to the door , with the intention of ejcctiiifr him from the yard , lie had no sooner laid his hand upon him , than Armitage stabbed him in the left arm with a pocket-knife , iuflcting a wound of a very serious nature . Spink , who is many years the senior of lus cowardly assailant , endeavoured to get out of the ruffian ' s reach , but before he could do so , he
received another stab in the abdomen . Having inflicted these injuries , Armitage ran through the court into Broad-lane ; but he was pursued by some persons who had been brought to the spot by Spink ' s cries , and was apprehended near tho bottom ot lownhead-strect . He was so violent , however , that it required the assistance of several parties to detain him until the arrival of a policeman . The officer endeavoured to make him walk to tho Townhall , but he refused , and struggled with such force , that it was found necessary to secure him in a cart , in which he was conveyed to the lock up . Spink was attended by Mr . Skinner / surgeon ; and though the injuries are . of a serious nature , there is no doubt of his recovery .
Smuggmxc—On Saturday last an important seisML'e of spirits was made near Yarmouth , Isle of Wight , on tho shore , where 130 half ankers were found , having been thrown overboard the previous evening . The ankers contained above 400 gallons of spirits , considerably overproof . Another seizuve was mado off Bcmbridgo , on the 22 nd ult , and consisted of 27 half ankers , containing about 70 gallons of contraband spirits of great strength . Astiquakias Discoveries at Ciubxcksiek . —It appears that Cirencestor , which has lately attracted so much attention b y the discovery of Roman pavement of such extent and beauty , is likely now to bo the scone of further discoveries of another
kind , ' and relating to another period . Not far from the amphitheatre , and on the northern side , there is , i i-idgc which has always been looked upon with suspicion by the archojologists of the town , and as a systematic couricot . investigation has now J > oen adopted , all these suspicions will be cither verified or for ever . spt at rest . Last week a section was made through this ridge , and the result was the discovery of a skeleton laid , as is usual in these tumuli , with the feet towards tho east , . and the head to the west .. It was about a foot below the surface , which will probably account for its being m bad preservation . As it lay undisturbed the form was perfect , but on the slightest touch it broke to pieces ,

" Medioal evidence was given showing tho state of the
unfortunate girl , and describing the proceedings of Parry and of another person whom he brought with him . The accused , whose name is William Richard Frayne , but Vrho is better known as William Parry keeping a drug and grocery shop in Suffolk-street , next made a statement , which was intended to clear himself from any blame in the matter . After having prescribed for her , he' found it a difficult case and called in the aid of William White , a druggist of Handsworth . The latter , however , on visiting the deceased , said he would have nothin" to do . with her , and advised Parry to'do the same , and the poor creature was left to her fate . At the closo of the inquirj tlw jury returned a . verdict of " Manslaughter- ' against Parry , who was committed for trial .

It brnke out on the premises of a lucifer match manufacturer , the property of Mr . Thomas Smith , situate in Black Horse-lane , Charlton , which on account of the inflammable materials they contained , were quickly in flames , causing the utmost
alarm to the surrounding inhabitants . The workpeople were absent from the prem ' ses , it being dinner hour , and from the fact of their having left a pot of sulphur on the fire to simmer , it is pretty evident the accident arose from its boiling over . By the successful operations of the engines , and the energies of the townspeople and the military , the flames were confined to the building where they originated , which was totally consumed . The factory was not insured .

Land at Bowness . —Not long ago land was so scarce about Bowness that it was almost an impossibility to get hold of as much as would suffice to build a cottage upon , consequently every one bes > an to feel anxious to get hold of a piece , almost at any price , which has given rise to speculation in the matter ; and now there may be found , upon inquiry , three individuals who lately bought small patches near the village , who are willing to accommodate purchasers of small lots at the rate of £ 1 , 500 per acre . —West moreland Gazette .

Infanticide . —On Sunday last , upon the arrival of the . steamer Nimrod , from Cotk , the parliculara were disclosed of a , most heartless ; md extraordinary case of infanticide . Amongst the deck passengers was a female , namf d Catherine Leary , who , during the night , had delivered herself of a femalechild When she came on board there was nothing in her appearance to excite particular at ^ ntion . During the whole night she remained on deck , and no incident occurred calculated to excite the least suspicion until about four o ' clock in the morning . Ai : this time the man who was attending the cattle in the lower hold of the vessel , discovered the body of a newly-born child , which was covered with the filth
from the beasts , and dreadfully bruised , the cattle having trampled upon it . As there could be no doubt that one of the female passengers had delivered herself and thrown the infant down the hatchway , an inquiry was instituted . From her sickly appearance suspicion fell upon Leary . She declared that she had not been delivered ; but having submitted to an . examination by some ef her female fellow-passengers , and the fact clearly ascertained , she acknowledgid that whilst sitting upon deck she had given birth to a child , which she threw down the hold among the cattle . A woman named Mary Sullivan took charge of the baby , washed it , and gave it some nourishment . When the Nimrod came alongside
the Seacombe slip , at one o clock on tho Sunday morning , officer No . 540 was sent for . He got a car , and took the mother , child , and Sullivan up to the Northern Hospital , but the case was not admitted . He then drove to the workhouse , where delay of upwards an hour occurred before a shelter could be obtained . The infant lingered till eight o ' clock in the evening , when it died , the rite of baptism having previously been administered by a clergyman . The mother states that she lived as servant with the father of her child , that he died lately , and that she was coming to Liverpool for the purpose of emigrating to America ; She remains at the workhonse in a weakly state , and wil be brought before the coroner as soon as her state of health will permit .
Dreadful Fire and Loss op Lifh . —A coroner s inquiry was opened at Bolton on Monday , before Mr . J . Taylor , concerning on of the most disastrous fires that has occurred in this nei ghbourhood for many years . Shortly before two o ' clock on Sunday morning , the premises of Mr . W . Saunders , tailor and draper , situnte in Deansgate , were discovered on fire . The inmates comprised Mr . Saunders , his wife and sister , four children , and two dome-tics ; and on the polica arousing them as to their perilous position , Mr . Saunders rushed down the otairs and opened the front door , with a view of effecting their immediate escape , but the flames had extended to tho staircase headand prevented all
, chance of rescuing those who remained in the premises by the ordinary way . It should be Btated that the sister of Mr . Saunders , with two children and a servant , had succeeded in reaching the street beforo the staircase ignited . When the fire was extinguished the rest of the inmates were found in one of the workrooms , apparently dead from suffocation . They were removed to a neighbouring hotel , where Mrs Saundei' 8 and her daughter Maria , exhibited symptoms of returning animation . Restoratives wero persevered in , and they are likely to recover . With the boy and girl , however , life had quite fled . The origin could not be satisfactorily ascertained , and the inquiry was adjourned .

S $ e ittommw . Boiler Explosion , near Rochdale . —Destruction of a Mili , and Loss of Life . —An alarming accident occurred on the evening of the 20 th ult , at the mill of Mr . James Tweedale , near Spoth Bottoms colliery , in the town of Castleton . The building is known as the Roach corn mill , and is situated near the banks of the river , about a mile from Rochdale . The accident was the bursting of a large boiler . It appears that for some time past the mill has been at work night and day ; a man named John Matthews was the engineer during the day , and a young man named Robert Hollows officiated
at night . About half-past nine o ' clock in the evening , the people at work in tho mill were alarmed by a terrific explosion , -which shook the building to its foundation , and immediately afterwards a fearful crash was heard , occasioned , as it was found by the falling of tho adjoining warehouse . Haying recovered from the state of alarm into which they were momentarily thrown , a number of the workmen proceeded to tho boiler house , which it was not difficult ) to conjecture was the scene of the accident . There a frightful state of things was discovered . The end of the " waggon boiler had been completely torn off and thrown against the offices in front ; bricks and rubbish were strewed about in all directions . A few yards from the boiler house lay the
body of the engineer amongst the ruins . It was not until daybreak , however , that the full severity of the calamity was discovered . It was then seen that the boiler had exploded with such violence as to force one end through the strong wall of the warehouse into the mill stream , and a considerable portion of the foundation being thus carried away almost the whole of the building fell in ruins . The floors were lifted to a considerable height , and then fell in with a terrible crash , carrying with them large quantities of grain , with which the rooms were stored . A portion of the wall came down with great force upon the gas meter and smashed it to such an extent as to render it entirely usless . The engineliouse was also thrown'down , and
considerable damage was done to the machinery . Fortunatelythe mill escaped uninjured , but the spacious warehouse is a complete wreck . One end of the boiler , much shattered , was found lying outside the offices in front of the warehouse , and the outer wall of the offices is considerably damaged by tho . violence of tho shock which it sustained . Matthews left work at seven o ' clock . At that time the boilers were in proper working condition , well supplied with water , and he had fed the fires a short time previously . Both of the boilers wero at work , and they were used together . The pressure was about 8 lbs . to the square inch , which was quite as much as the old boiler was calculated to bear ; and , in fact the engineers had been cautioDed against
workihgat a greater pressure . The amount i < f steam was indicated by a spring valve , and safety valves were fixed on the top of both the boilers . A short time before tho accident , one of , the young men employed in the mill was in the engine house , and having observed the spring valve , or having other reasons to suppose that the steam was being too rapidly generated , he said to the engineer , " Boh , I think your steam ' s too high ,- " to which the unfortunate man replied , in a careless manner , "Yes , I know ; I could have the boiler in th' goit ( the mill stream ) in twenty minutes from now if I had a mind ! " . Scarcely had that time elapsed when the explosion took place , part of the boiler actually was in the stream , and the engineer ' s life
fell a sacrifice to his carelessness . Fortunately no other lives were Io 3 t . Shortly after the young man alluded to left the engine house , he heard the engineer lotting off the steam , and saw him go down to the fire hole to open the doors , but his precaution came too late . —An inquest was held on the body of the unfortunate deceased , on the 22 nd ult ., before Mr . Dearden , at the Windmill publichouse , Castleton . —Stephen Matthews , ono of the engineers who was then examined , stated that the deceased had been employed at the mill about eighteen mouths . He considered the boiler to be in a good condition , and safe , if it was not worked beyond 81 b . to the inch . He never worked it more than that . There vras plenty of water in the boilers on the night of tho accident ; the pumps were in good order , and tho safety valves were in working condition , lie considered that Hollows had raised too much steam , and that he had weighted
the valves , so that it could not escape . It was not necessary that he should obtain a very hi gh pressure ; because the goit was full , and the connecting , wheels were at work , so that less steam than usual was required . Various other witnesses were examined , all of whom agreed in ascribing the _ accident to the carelessness of the deceased engineer , The inquiry was ultimately adjourned , and Mr . Robert Ilowavth , boiler-maker of Rochdale , was appointed to inspect the engine and boiler , and report thereupon to the jury . The boiler was made by Mr . 1 ' etrie , of ltochdiilo . It was well stayed in all parts . About two years ago it was repaired ; it leaked , and it was patched near the firing ; but there are no fractures m the boiler near the spot where it was mended . Shortly after the accident a fire broke out amongst the rubbish , ' which was with difficulty extinguished ;" 1 The . loss of Mr . Tweedale will be very serious , not less , it is said , than £ 2 , 000 .
Murdsr at Manchester ox Sunday . — A murder of a very cold-blooded description took place at Manchester on Sunday , in the open street and in daylight . A bricklayer ' s labourer , named Bernard Sheridan , living in a cellar in Julm-street , under the St . Jobn ' s Tavern , was quarrelling with his wife , and amongst other neighbours who came to make peace was a young man , named John Hajes . Sheridan and his wife were outside the house in the street at tbe time , and on Haye 3 approaching them , Sheridan ran at him with a chisel , and plunged it into his breast . 1 he unfortunate man was carried to the Royal Infirmary , where he died about four o ' clock the same afternoon . The deceased was a small-wa ' re weaver , and has left a wife and three children Deceased was twenty-four years of age . An inquest was held on the body of Hayes , at the Royal Infirmary Manchester , on Monday afternoon , when the
following evidence was given : - William Tootal upholsterer , 24 , Turner-street , said on Sunday morning about twenty minutes after the morning service time ( ten minutes to one o ' clock ) he went into tlie John-street , Tavern , a beerhouso , near St . Paul ' s Church , Turner-street , Manchester .

At G . dO p . m . a goods train took its doparture from the Union-street Station , and , on its arrival at the Quarry ' Junction , it was signalised by the foreman to stop , to take up four loaded wairgons , that were in a siding . It was stopped , and as the down passenger train from Perth was all most due , it was discussed whether they should wait , or proceed to put on the loaded wajnrons They unfortunately thought there was time , and ? flf t ° " A ! ™?™ tha ^ al-lampsoas
, .-:,: , to stop the train should it come up . It appears that the company ' s regulations require that a person with a signal-lamp should proceed COO yards from the offset , but before the person who was dispatched could have got half that distance one of the waggons had been got off the siding on to the down line , on its way to tho up line , when the passenger train was heard approaching at a fast speed . The men pushed the waggon back again , but were able only to get it half on to the siding , when the engine of the passenger train dashed into it with fearful force . Tho waggon was shivered to atoms , and the massive stones were , with tlie fragments of the carnage , hurled a considerable distance , some up the lme , and the remainder into the quarry Melancholy to observe , the signal man , Craig , who was a so foreman of the quarry , was killed on thnsnot .
his body was found on the line dreadfull y mutilated Ihe guard of the goods train , Charles Balfour , was discovered lying at the bottom of the quarry , where ho had been thrown b y the force of the collision borne of the stones were lying on him , as also one ot the heavy wheels of the waggon . His le * was found broken , and ho was very much injured about different parts of the body , lie was iurnediately placed , on an engine , and brought on to Dundee Infirmary , where he lies in a hopeless condition The passengers in tho down train felt the shock , but fortunately , none of them sustained in jury Fatal Accident in Kelso .-Oii " Sunday last , as the carriage of tho Duke of Roxbureh was leaving
