From tee evidence of Joseph Crossland . servant to Mr . Petty , it appeared that he locked hi 3 master ' s stable safe ou the night of the 13 : h , leaving in it at that time the mare in question and a horse . On the next morning he found the d » or of the stable had been forcftd open and the maieand a pair ot blinders were gone .

went to Mr . Thomas Thornton ' s , of Eccleshill , near Bradford , where he fouad the mare and br ught her away .

Railway Accident . — An accident occurred on the Manchester and Birmingham line of railway at Stockport on Friday night week . The sufferer is a labouring man named Luke Shore , rending at Stockport , and the accident he Las met with , which is likely to cost him his life , occurred solely from his wn intemperance and folly . On tfey evening in question he got drunk , aad on leaviug the publichouse at which he had been drinking , went a distance from his home to the Edt ; ley tunnel of tho Manchester aud Birmingham railway , where he fell asleep , with his right arm across the rail , and the
luggage train which leaves Manchester at a quarter past eleven passed over his arm , and inflicted some seHous injuries on his head . It would appear that the man was eo stupid that the accident did not awake him , as he was found still asleep between three and four o'clock on Saturday morning . He was conveyed to the Stockport Infirmary , when h waa found necessary to amputate his arm above tke elbow . He was much cut on the head , from which injuries his life is considered somewhat in danger . Tnere is no road across the railway near this point , and Shore must have climbed over some railing to have got in the tunnel where the accident occurred .
Slesp . —Nothing has such a tendency to restore the system as Bound and refn shing sleep ; a popular writer beautifully remarks—* All-healing Bleep soon neutralises the corroding caustic of care , and blunts even the barbed arrows of the marble-hearted fiend Ingratitude ; ' and bj a well-known poet it is described as ' Nature ' s sweet restorer '; yet there are thouEauds who pass weary and sleepless nights without taking the trouble to ascertain the cause ; many resort to > opiates , and thus aggravate the evil . Parr ' s Life Pills will be found to soothe the irritated state onheaerves , and will soon bring the whole system into that ceol and healthy state as will induce sou * 4 and refreshing sleep , and thus fit the mind and body for the varied duties of life , which henceforward will be performed with ease aad satisfaction .

The FoLLowiNG painful fact hap been given us by an undoubted authority .

Four Men Drownkd . —On Saturday , about noon , most of the -Oystermouth boats employed in the oyster fishery put . off to sea , the wind at the lime blowing ratber fresh , and among others the Sarah and Rachel , with her crew , nrrin ^ ly , David John ( master ) , Tnomas Davios , Noah Jones , and John Evans . They ha . l s avcely loft their moorings hulfan hour when the alarm was given by the coastguard men at tho look out station , that a boat had bcen , upjet 111 the mix-n poo ] by a squall of wind , and iho crew lost . Instantly three or four Neath pilots put out to sea to render all the assistance in their power . Some time necessarily elapsed ore thry reached tho spot , aud when they did reach it , after much exevtku , owhar to tho violence of the wind , which by this time had rison . to a high gale , thsy only saw the boat aud a few spar 3—the unfortunate d h the Neath
crew had disappeare ' . At lengt pilots succeeded in fastening the Sarah and Rachel to their own boat , ant , in towing her to tlr Mumble-roads . David Juhu has left a widow near her confinement , and a family of six young children . Thomas Da vies has also left a widuw and nix young children . Noah Jones and John Evans were single men .

Their bodies have not yet been found , tba t part of the channel where they went down being anusually deep . It is said that the accident may to a certain extent , be attributed to the want of caution exhibited by the captain ( David John ) and his crew , in carrying « n too much canvass .

Extraordinary Dismissal op a Captain of the AaJir . —Captain Staiitoa , or' the 1 st Royal Tower Hamlets Militia , has been recently dismissed from the service , and reinstated during the past week under the following extraordinary circumstances ; — Iu the montft of December last a man named Henry Stamori , alias Dr . Winkworth , alias Palmer , was convicted at tho Central Criminal Court , and sentenced to be transported fot life , for stealing two waAches , valued at £ 35 , the property of Mr . Menzies , jeweller , of Clerkenwell . The caso created unusual interest , from the tact of tho prisoner having married several respt etable , females and made asvay with property ; in addition , to whioh he had beea previously transported , but got a remission of his sen- ;
tence in consequence of stating that he had some yeurs since given 'important information to the Government repecting Ireland . The prisoner also stated that he had been an officer in the army , aad that he , ia the year 1830 , offered himself to represent the borough of Southampton . Tho matter reaohing the ears of Lieut-Colonel Grant , the commandant of the above regiment , he was anxious to ascertain whether the Captain Stanton belonging to his regiment was one and the same person , and seat an officer , in company of the relieving overseer of Hackney , of whicii parish the Captain was formerly one of the overseers , io Newgate , for that purpose . Oa their arrival they we , re shown the prisoner , bat neither of them spoke to him ; they , however , stated he was themau . In consequence of this a
communication was forwarded to the War-office , and without further inquiry , Captain Stanton was dismissed the service . At this time Captain Stanton was residing at Brigg , ia Lincolnshire , and received his hsklf-pay from the branch bank of Messrs . Prescott , bat upon applying he was greatly astonished on being told that the perton he represented himself to be had been transported for life . Oa receiving this intelligence , Captain Stanton wrote to the authorities at ihe War-office ; andihe subsequently received a letter requesting his attendance ia London foJ * the purpose of being identified . This has been doue to the 6 atisfaotioH of the Duke of Wellington , Sir Henry H&rdinge , &fl . ; and the Captain has not only been reinstated , but an apology made to him for the painful situation \ d which ho had been placed .

The Iron Trade . —The iron and metal trade gsts worse aud worse . It isj iu it that the want of the Af-ierican market , is principally felt . This w . il rpadily bti believed when it id considered that m 1839 our i-xports in tbe United States of iron and sUol , copper and brass , and tin plates amounted to £ 1 227 , 808 . besides harder aro and cutlery , amounting to £ 840 . 640 , making a total ot £ 2 , 077 , 448 wor ; h of meuis and their manufactures exported in one year to America . Further , when we consider that of this prodigious sum no less than £ 1 , 650 , 838 was for iron and its manufactures , and that this extensive trade has fallen to about one-third , we shall hare an important fact to assist us in guessing' at the causes of the depression of the iron trade . In Staffordshire , out of 111 funiaces , 53 are now lying cold , and huvo been b ' owu out for twelve months , and their

The Law of Akrest for Debt—On Monday morning an inquest was hold at Whitcoross-birect Prison , before the coroner 0 ! L « nirton , upon view ot the body of Edward Cox , s % ed 55 , thr son o' a gentleman 0 ? lar « e esta'o in Ireland . From tho evidence of Mr . Wadd , the surgeon" of the prison , and others , ic appeared that the decayed had from improvidence become embarrassed . To 0110 of hicreditors , a Mr . Heathcote , of Mauchest r , he owed £ 43 tfor * a horse and chaise . The deceased having , in answer to an inquiry af'erhim , kr . ii-1 he h"d eonc , o was going , to Ireland , Mr . Hcatln .-ote wunt o- ' fur ? a judge and made affidavit , that the docked ¦ •• u .-going to leave the kingdom , and obta n-d : iu ordt-r for his arrest . H ^ was accoi'tiuglv arre led , awi
reached Wi ) iteoros 9-strect Prson on the 28 th of March . As he was evidently iabourine ; under the distressing symptoms of' con umpiion he was immediately placed in the infirmary , and received all the care and additional nourishment his case rtquired ; food , hower , would not remain on his stomach and in a few days he was confined to his bed . Oa the 18 th ult . an application was made to Mr . Justice Maule to liberate him on account of his illness , Wr . Wadd giving a strong certificate ihat thero was no hope of saving his life if he remained in thu prison . Dr . Heath gave a similar eertifioar p . The application wa 9 stoutly opposed by the creditor , wno repeated his affidavits that the deceased wished to leave the kingdom . The judge felt that he had not the
power under the act to order the liberation of the deceased on the ground of extreme illness . He however , made an order for bis release oa finding sureties for the sum of £ 40 . This was only £ 3 lesB than the sum for which he might be bailed as of right , without any special application . The deceased was unable to find sureties and lingered till Sunday last , when he died of consumption . The Coroner asked if any affidavits were filed to show that the deceased was not in * state of danger , and was answered , none . The Coroner remarked , that it was to be regretted that the law did not authorize » judge to
liberate a person detained for debt where a man ' s life was really at stake . To return to his native country if he did intend to return , was what a man in his state of disease would naturally think of , and if the judge bad not authority to iaterposa he should have hoped that the creditor from humanity would not have so strongly opposed tho unfortunate man ' s application . He trusted the Legislature would extend the judge's power , bo that he might liberate on common appearance where a man ' s life was believed to bo in danger . The Jury heartily concurred with the opinion of the Coroner , aad a verdict of '' Natural Death" was recorded .

Although the arrivals or flour this week have been trifling , we cannot note any improvement either in its vahte or demand , but tho stocks in warehouse , as well as those io the hands of the dealers being moderate s would lead us to expect a better demand shortly .

very cautiously , but we do not alter quotations of either town or country manufactured .

London Shithfield Cattle Market , Monday . —From- the various grazing distriots the arrivals of Beasts fresh up to our market to day were moderately extensive , but not to say large , while there wa 3 an evident improvement in their general quality , notwithstanding a large portion of them was suffering sfwerely-irom the epidemic , particularly as relates to those from Suffolk and Cambridgeshire .

Robert Morgan ; these magnificent animals were bred and fed in Warwickshire , while their estimated weight was 189 stones , and jhey came to band , by the Birmingham Railway , in . excellent order . The attendance of both
town and country buyere was by no means large , and wo have to report a very dull inquiry for Beef , altnough the supplies of dead meat in our various markets are far from large .

Borough Hop Mabket . —We have a moderate supply ot Hopn on offer in this market . Fine qualities of last , year ' s growth are mostly taken on fall as good terms aa oV late ; but , otherwise the demand is excessively dull , at almost nominal quotations .
