      jE . Tbohas Coomse asb Me . CCossoe . —In relation so the statement made by Mr . O'Connor at Manchester , affecting Mr . Cooper , we have received the * following & em 3 Ir . O'Connor : —Ever anxious to make atonement vbere I have committed error , ' even under justifiable stprebenaon , 1 lose not a moment in testifying my iirrowat having done an injustice to Mr . Cooper—an injustice arising from error , and not from any desire to tire him even a moment ' s pain . "When I stated the substance of aletter ( written by Cooper to Mason ) , to the Manchester Council , I was not then aware of the act that Cooper ' s hostility to me was based upon misrepresentations made to him from without ; and that ais desire to "destroy my influence" arose from the iact of bis being led to believe that , but for me ,

      Sharmaj * Crawford's motion , to stop the supplies , would have received universal support , which would have erentuated in the success of the people ' s Charter . These , and man ; such representations , very naturally treated a hostility in Cooper ' s mind , which I am now snore than willing to ascribe to a sincere devotion to principle , rather than personal hostility . I know the cnfferingS of a mind , firm in principle , -while subjected w the agonies of incarceration . I acknowledge the perfect right and justice , nay , the absolute necessity , of sang every endeavour to "destroy my influence , " if sn opinion is entertained that that exercise has been ^ ised injuriously to the democratic principle : and I can only say , that so far from now entertaining any , the slightest , ill will towards Mr . Cooper , I feel for

      Jim an increased affection and attachment ; and , according to the good old Catholic custom of paying restitution to the injured , I beg to put my name down for £ 1 towards the Cooper Testimonial ; and further to itate , that 1 shall have great pleasure in meeting him at the door of-his prison upon the day of liberation , there to mate a personal apology , and to ask pardon for any pain that I have caused him . I trust that he will recdve this apology tvith more pleasure , as it has eel been sought for by any parry , bat has been induced by circumstances communicated to me , of which Mr . foopCTKsotcognisant . Feabccs 0 "Coj « ob . Mi . 1 ) . Ross , Mb . Johs Watkiks , asd thx "Fais Put " Man of IZoydTs Weekly Newspaper . —The fol-Juirrajr JeMer in relation to the gross personal attacks

      weekly made by the malignant and venomous John Watidns , was addressed to the Editor of Lloyd ' s Weekly Sanpaj' tr , by Mr . "David Boss of Leeds . Its publication was declined , on the ground that " the column ? of that paper were never intended to be made he Vehicle of mere personal controversy ! nor could the Editor permit them to become such"' ! I Mr . Ross ias since sent the letter to us , with a request that it stay be published in the Star . That request we cheerfully comply -roth ; thanking Mr . Koss for his bold and plain out-spokenness : — To the Editor of Lloyd ' s H ' eeHj Paper . —Sir , since yon have so abundantly proved your "liberality , " oy publishing lie letters and addresses which have from time to time emanated from a party calling themselves " the

      Independent Chartists , ' 1 am led to hopeyon will , in justice to all parties concerned , allow me to express my opinions on certain subjects , to which the said letters and addresses refer . I may preface my observations by declaring myself a Chartist ; one in whom the love of principle is stronger than the pleadings of party . Up to this period I have suppressed every painful emotion which the perusal of those letters has awakened within ttfc ; but believing that their author is in reality a foe to Chartism— -for whothathasreadhis vindictive epistles can doubt it I—I am anxious to let thepub ] ickno « -soineidiatmore of "Iictoe , "" whose diatribes have so often figured in your columns . This omnipotent dictator , when stripped ofhis disguise , is none other than "plain John Watkins , ' * better known as "J'iousJohn Watkins . "

      At one time he professed to be the devoted friend of Ttargus O'Connor : " now he is his vengeful and vindic tive foe . No man save himself could invent such nnjcnlltinanly epithets as he from time to time applies 10 that g-tntleman- Such is the refinement Of his vocabulary , that thief and swixdlek are the terms be most frequently makes use of . He must cither have associated with very low company , or have very little respect for good breeding ; or lie would not thus willingly degrade himself in the eyes of an unprejuaiced piAE ? . Truly he is an extraordinary charactir ; and thus may , therefore , merit some little

      conaderatiou . lam not about to Income Mr . O'Connor ' s apologist . Thosewho knowhimbestwilljudgerighfly between him and the huge calumniator : hut I mean to put the Chartist public in possession of certain facts which Mr . " -teeter" may digest if lie can , or deny at his leisure . In the first place I mean to take this Hercules by tite beard , by telling him that the whole of his political career hasbeen remarkably absurd and ridiculous . 1 know that he ought not to he censured for this— 'tis Ms nature , or infirmity . His mind is so corrosive , that he might have been fed during childhood on sops seeped in vinegar . Minds so constituted are ever known to

      — " "Wither at another ' s joy , . And hate that excellence they cannot reach . ' ** This will account for many ofhis remarkable inconasteucies , to a few of which I now invite the attention of your readers . ""Richard , Duke of Gloster , "" must have "been the model which "Ltctot" has copied through He . like his prototype , he affected to be most austere ; sad actually undertook a pilgrimage to "Fork ' s venerable city . Doubtless you expecthe went to visit some Cf the saints ; but , in truth , Ms visit was one of condoittceto O'Connor ! I Thus commenced the first act of fas political life . Those who have read his rhapsodies Published at that time , will remember how extravagant were the praises he lavished on the "Lion of Chartism upraises lavished amply because he had an object

      iaview . When it was said that Mr . O'Gonner was making rights out of the Star , Watkins undertook to defend him , denying on his own knowledge that such was the fact . These things are matters of history ; and cannot be doubted now . At that time be literally worshipped the man whose destruction he has sace panted for , andstruggledso earnestly to obtain . ii 1811 , this specious dissembler was fearful that he was abtut to die . Nothing was heard of then hut sympathy for the Chartist saint . He was so grateful to those be now calls the O'Connorite Chartists , that be wrote six sermons , which he bequeathed as a " legacy to the peopled Had he died then , many would have bdiCTed in his political integrity / who have since been wmpened to coiisider him a disappointed adventurer . In

      feis sermons he spoke largely of "brotherly love and "itistian charity-, both of which virtues he has since practised about as much as bis prototype "Dick , " whose policy he seems to have adopted to the letter . Amongst Other things , he has accused Mr . O'Connor of wanting to sen the Chartist prisoners of Lancaster . I was one of the fifty-nine tried there ; and I have the gratitude to thank Mr . O'Connor for the extraordinary exertions hat he then made to save the movement on the one baud , and rescue the prisoners oa the other . Doubtless ilr . " Hct / Mr" would have dramatised the thing-, had Wme twenty followed the Welsh patriots , out of " * hose sufferings be managed to wring a penny or two , bv dramatising their sufferings . Is he disappointed shat he could not make merchandise of our connections ?

      "Iidor" has never told the public what £ rst induced him t 0 assail Mr . O'Connor . Kay , more , he has no " " fhtotellit . However , I'll tell it for him . Sometime inlebruary , 1813 , whilst the Lancaster trials were pending , Mr . " watkins wrote a scurrilous letter against the "Executive . The following week Mr . O'Connor announced that no more of TFatldns ' s phiHipics should be published in the Star ; and from that moment WatHns has been distilling his tery Wood in ten / mi in order to mjure O'Connor . Prior to this there was never a more fo ne-sartiiu ) , tontemptiUe sycophant than this Watkins , «> connection with the cause of Chartism . I do not Wonder at his urgency in wanting to get rid of O'Connor . « He may we impeach lam , and bid him oe 9 * ne , because O'Connor ' s very presence must be a con" ^ aal reproach to him . He knows how much he has

      » J"bui 10 injure him ; and to know that the object of jfc envy , and the Star , are fixed in London now , chafes iilu to wditas . He has forgot his canting and praying "JOir , and hU whole existence is spent in seeking to j " ** " - " ? mali cious revenge . He a Chartist !—he would " ^^ - . t it to-day , if be could by so doing destroy tie «* -and O'Connor . A word in conclusion to the "ln-¦^ tuden t Chartists . " Think not that I am opposed *> !« n , or jour opinions . If your desire be , as you say , " Jut down inconsistency , begmby " putting dotm " your *? Jaw-faced oracle . If you love Chartism , do not ~* Watkins any longer to * defile it . He is no

      Char-^~ Satore never made iim one . It were much j * " * ' to male a parson of him than a patriot .

      ardent perseverancein our pursuitof justice and liberty for all ; notwithstanding we may , in our course , in addition to the sufferings inflicted by our oppressors , have our feelings wounded by the necessity imposed on us of unmasking and denouncing the pretended or apostate friend , whom we had perhaps too long looked upon , loved , and cherished as one of our chosen champions in the life-and-death struggle of the oppressed against the oppressor .

The "Head Pacificator !"—Beauties of Toh Steele .

      —We take thefollowingirom the-DiiOKn Jfoaitor of Monday last : — " Our readersmay be awaretliat' O'Connell ' s Head Pacificator of all Ireland / the renowned Tom Steele , has been for some months On A mi 58 iOU Of pacification through some of the districts in Ireland where Ribbonism is most prevalent , and where murders and outrages are of rather too freguent occurrence . "Were such a mission likely to be productive of beneficial results , we should most sincerely rejoice in it , and most heartily commend it . But the very contrary appears to be the effect of the Head Pacificator ' s presence in the various localities . We do not say that the object of his mission is not to pacificate—but ive do say that the language he employs—that his personal bearing and general conduct , has a far greater

      tendency to increase crime than to repress it . To make good our assertion , and illustrate OUT meaning , we beg to make one extract from a speech , reported in the Tipperary Vindicator by Tom Steele himself , as spoken by him at a public meet , ing on the B 311 of Portrue , on Sunday week last ;—" There is , yon all know , an unsanctified vagabond in Nenagh , called Eempston , the editor of theNenagh Guardian , a journal stupid , vapid , and wicked , for as far as its puny efforts could attempt it , it tried to throw ridicule upon the exertions of my friend , Mr . Lenihan of the 'FtHdiflrioT , and myself , for the restoration of peace and order , and the securing human life and private property in the county of Tipperary . Bine groans for Kempston , and for lord de Grey , the late Lord Lieuand the

      tenant ^ other signers of the projected Clontarf massacre proclamation , and for Ogle , and Brophy , and Parker , of Shinrone . ( Continued groanings and hoot , ings . ) And now , my friends , I have news for * you-rrit is , of course ( as you all know ) quite certain that Kemp-Eton , of the Guardian , can have m dumee of salvation , but there is no possible danger of his eternal perdition , and for Vds reason : when he dies , Ms soul is in such a state of noisome , carrion putrefaction , that the very moment U shall first lass in the fire of the place to xehich it must descend , the smell of it tmtt be so Io « ttso » i «" i' inodorous ( I use the word for the sake of euphony , instead of having recourse to a coarse word of one syllable , ) that Ute Devil , feeling remorse for the first time , wUt not aggravate the tortures of the ' dioeUers in his torrid kingdom , but tcfll take a pitchfork

      and jl ' aig Kempston ' s soul out of the fire , and Stuff it into a dunghiB , its resting place for eternity , during secula seeulorum . " ( Tremendous shouts of laughter . ) Now , not being on such intimate terms with the So-TereiEn of the "Torrid "Kingdom" as Mr . Steelepror fesses to be , we shall not question his information about the ultimate destination of "Eempton ' ssoul ; " but , having some little knowledge of human nature , we , in aR sober earnestness , ask Mr . O'Connell , is it with his sanction that Steele is perambulating the disturbed districts of Tipperary , and using in his harangues to the people such language as this ? Talk of " restoring peace and order , " indeed!—talk of " securing human life and private property , " when an incendiary of this

      sort is permitted to range at large , using language the direct tendency of which is to mark men as prey for the midnight assassin . More atrocious language we never read . "We put it to Mr . O'Connell—does he sanction it t Steele is the paid official of the Repeal Association , and really that body should exercise some control over his actions , and seek to keep Mm within the bounds of common decenoy . As for Steele ' s mission having any beneficial effect in " securing life and property" in Tipperary , it is utterly absurd to imagine such a thing , when we find him inciting the peasantry by the use of such diabolical language . Security , indeed—we would jnst aS SOOn expect to promote " security " * by sending a bomb-shell into a powder-magazine .

      Use Law For The Rich And Another Fob The...

      use Law for the Rich and another fob the Poor . —Case op Miss Osborne . —Our readers will remember the flagrant case of Mrs , Tyrwhitt , a fashionable lady , who a short time ago was charged with having stolen a microscope ; a charge which was fully and unmistakeably proved by the evidence on the trial , but on which charge she was nevertheless acquitted by the base middle-class jury before whom she was tried . It will be remembered that on that occasion the Clerkenwell Sessions Court was crowded with a gang of fashionable drones and plunderers , who hailed the acquittal of then" worthy comrogue with loud applause . That " lady" stole a microscope , but as the base jury were convinced that she did not steal it with a " felonious intention " she was

      acquitted ! This premium for aristocratic thieveryhas not been unproductive of its natural results . Another " lady" has been charged with a like offence , stealing a pot of " potted meat . " This " lady" is a daughter of a Sir John Osborne , Bart ., who , we believe , enjoys the privilege of legally plundering the nation through the medium of an office in the Customs . True to her caste instincts , and no doubt fired with the ambition to imitate the lady-thief Tyrwhitt , Miss Osborne walks off with the grocer ' s " potted meat . " The "lady " is arrested and locked up for a day or two , and then forthwith we have the most sentimental of bowlings given publicity to in the papers-at the shocking hardship of a "lady" being confined in a prison . Miss Osborne was next let out on bail , a

      privilegewhich , though nominallyopcii to all classes , is as practically and completely denied , to tjie poor , owing to their poverty , as if by statute the privilege was confined to the rich . On the 15 th of February the " lady" was re-examined , and the magistrate committed her for trial on the charge . On that occasion Mr . Clarkson acted as counsel for the accused , and , quite irrelevantly to the case , entered into a long rigmarole shewing the excellent way in which the " lady " had been brought up—the religious and moral trainingshe had had . In the eyes of all just men , this only makes the matter ten thousand times worse . The poor wretch , who , born in the purlieus of St . Giles ' s , who , through life , has been the victim of the most horriblecireumstances—afamishing , shiverine ,

      homeless , untaught creature , surrounded by the worst examples , and driven , as by a resistless fate , to the commission of crime ; for such a being—and there are thousands—such a counsellor might well plead that the circumstances , such as we have spoken of , were , if not a justification , at least a palliation of the eriminality of the accused . But in the case of Miss Osborne , her " excellent trailing" can only be regarded as an aggravation of her offence . This lawyer , Clarkson , had the daring impudence to characterise such offences as that laid to the account of Miss Osborne , as being , in her case , " little eccentricities . " The hungry man who takes a loaf ofbreadis run down as a "thief ; " Miss Osborne , who wants for nothing , but because she wants

      for nothing , takes a fancy to other people ' s " potted meat , " she , forsooth , is to be regardedas only chargeable with "little eccentricities" ! Well , " lady " Osborne was committed for trial to the Middlesex Sessions , and on Tuesday last the trial should have come on , but in the course of the day the prosecutor informed the Assistant Judge , ' that he could not csxvy the bill before the Grand Jury , as the principal -witness for the prosecution was missing ; and he did noi laiow where he could be found . The Judge said the witness must be found , npon which says the reporter : — " The prosecutor then left the court for the purpose of collecting the witnesses ; but , so soon as he had left , his policeman , who is also a witness , went in search of the prosecutor , arid so on throughout the entire day—one going in search of another , until

      at last there was not one witness to be found , with the exception of the policeman . " At eight o ' clock the grand jury entered the court with the last bill found . The Judge said that it was most extraordinary that the witnesses in Miss Osborne's ease were not forthcoming . An officer of the court said there had been one in court a short time since , but he . was half drunk . He went away again , and said he was going to look for some other witnesses . —The Judge : It is an extraordinary proceeding . Let the whole of their recognifjances he estreated , with the exception of . the policeman ; and the prosecutor can , if he likes , press the indictment at the next session . "Yes ; the prosecutor can , if he likes , press the indictment at the next session ; but we would wager a triflle he never does . How will he press the

      indictment without his principal witness ? The whole thing is a down-right fraud . The prosecutor goes to look for the witnesses , they go looking for the prosecutor . One of the witnesses ' appears in court drunk , and the principal one is smuggled out of the iray , bribedundoubtedly bribed—not to appear . And this is Britishjustice ! This is the way"the <' imajesiyof the offended law" is " avenged I" Where has there been an instance where the like fraud hasbeen permitted tosaveapooroffender ? Istherenotonelawfortherich and another for thepoor ? What will the Weekly Chrom ' efemansaytothiscase ? HowwillMr . GeoreeCaimtnp Ward , M . P ., get over this additional proofof " the natural andinevitable warofihe rich and thepoor '' , ? There is that war . Not we , but the rich , the law ^ the law ' s executors , the system , and the system ' s supporters , are . the war-makers , and the war upholders .

      "Laws grind the poor , and rich men rule the laws . " But a day of right and retribution is coming , when justice shall no longer be trafficked with in the shambles of class-made law . " Captuke op a Smugoliko Vessel at Liverpool . —Police' Coubt . — Tuesday . — William Paseoe , captain , of the Ardent , from Flushing ; "William Short , mate ; John Brain , John Bathgate , and Griffith Parry , seamen belonging to her , were placed at the bar of the court , charged with smuggling tobacco . The case , from its novelty and importance , excited great interest . Mr . Brook , solicitor , attended on behalf of the Customs . Lieut . L . C . F . Walker , R . N ., inspector of the River Mersey , said , that in the course ofhis duty on Monday last , the

      24 th Feb ., he boarded the Ardent , as she lay at the Sloyne , having arrived the same day . He pulled up alongside of her , and hailed her , and was answered by William Short , the mate . Witness asked where she was from , whether coastwise or foreign , and the mate replied from . Sligo , with a cargo of oats . Witness inquired when she left Sligo , and the mate answered , "Last Saturday week ;" upon which the witness observed that it was a long time to be occupied by a voyage from Sligo . He then went on board , and he ordered the main hatch to be taken off , and , whilst his boatmen were so employed , the mate said , " She is a prize , and a good one . " Upon the hatch being removed , there was a strong smell of tobacco ,

      and many hundred half bales of foreign manufactured leaf tobacco were discovered , made up in canvas of about sixty-two pounds each , such as were called in Kent , " smugglers' packages . " The bales were about two feet in length . Mr . Brook produced the vessel ' s register , with Captain Pascoe ' s name regularly endorsed as master , and the magistrates ordered all the prisoners to be remanded until Saturday next . Mr . Brook , in reply to a question from the magistrates , stated ^ that there had only been two other instances during the last twenty-three years , where seizures had been made at Liverpool , at all to be compared in point of magnitude with the present .

      Fall w & . Cliff . —Cromer , Feb . 20 . —Early on Sunday morning last an extensive fall of thecliff took place at the signal station-hill , near the light-house , spreading itself far and wide upon the beach , and covering an area of at least five or six acres . The cliff at this spot attains an elevation of about 260 feet , and is composed of unstvatificd white and yellow sand , resting upon clay . Hundreds of persons have been attracted to the spot to witness its huge intermingled masses rent into lofty pinnacles and deep ravines . by the overwhelming pressure of the subterranean waters collected k the caverns of the cliff , and presenting the idea of an earthquake , but happily without its concomitant horrors . — Norfolk Chronicle .

      The Fatal Poaching Affray at Choome . —Wokcestek , Mo . VDAr . —On Saturday the seven men who ? i ? w rea ( " y undergone private examinations before the Worcestershire magistrates on the charge of the murder of the gamekeeper , Thomas Staite , were again exammed . . Their , names , it will be recollected , are Joseph Farney , Samuel Turvey , William Bloomheld , beorge Brant , William Freeman , John Cookey and Francis Ferris ; and the whole ( with the exception or the two l ast-named , who have been discharged from custody ) were again remanded for further examination to Wednesday . Three others have been

      apprehended , and these were also examined on Saturday , and remanded with the rest .. Their names are George Lippitt , Thomas Hooper , and Thomas Collins , The examinations are all conducted with the strictest privacy . Including the three men already committed for the murder of the ill-fated Thomas Staite { two under the coroner ' s warrant , and one by the magistrates since ) , there are no less than ten prisoners now in the Worcester county gaol , charged with being concerned in the above shocking transaction . The wives and families of several of the accused have gone to the union .

      Committal op Nise Poachers . —^ Worchesteb , Wednesday Eveninc—The result of to-day's final examination of the men mentioned in my last communication to the Morning Herald , as having been remanded on the charge of the murder of the gamekeeper , Thomas Staite , at Croome , was their full committal tov trial at the Lent Assizes . Harrow Escape . —Five Lives Saved . —On Tuesdav afternoon , about three o ' clock , as a waterman , named White , was conveying six passengers in his boat bv the Old Swan Pier , near London-bridge , the Waterman steamer I \ o . 3 , being about to embark passengers upon the p ier , took Wiiitc ' s boat in tho starboard quarter with her larboard sponson , and immediately the . whol § of White ' s passengers , one of them behnr a

      woman with a child in her arms , were immersed in the river and struggling tor life . The excitement on the shore was indescribable , as one of the male passengers swam to land , whilst the other five alternately sunk and rose in the water , the woman with the child clasping her infant in her bosom , holding it above the eddy with all a mother's instinct . Thos . Norcott , a waterman belonging to the Lower Tunnel Pier , Wapping ,. with great self-possession , though at a considerable risk , shoved his boat astern of the steamer , and by great and praiseworthy exertion succeeded in rescuing the whole party from impending death . He first turned his attention to the woman with her child , whom , together with another , he placed safely in the head of his boat ; but , whilst

      picking up the others , he narrowly escaped swamping , as the water several times flowed over the gunwale . Great credit is due to Norcott for the bold manner in which , at his great personal hazard , he rescued five fellow-creatures from a watery grave . Transportation of the Convict Dauias for Life . —Our readers may remember that we some time back gave the full particulars of the respite of the above convict , who was found guilty of the dreadful murder of a female on Battersea-bridge , with whom he was on terms of the greatest intimacy . While under sentence of death at Horsemonger-lane Gaol , Dalmas was reprieved during her Majesty's pleasure , but was afterwards removed to the Millbank prison , previous to his transportation for life . Orders were given to scrutinise the prisoner ' s conduct , and he was

      to remain for a month in the prison , under medical surveillance . It now appears that the convict is not altogether to escape punishment , for since his admission into the hospital of Bethlehem , the medical gentlemen of that histitutionhave doubted his insanity ; in fact , they have stated that since his residence in that establishment , now about eight or nine months ago , he has exhibited no symptoms of insanity . This extraordhiary circumstance has been duly reported to the Secretary of State , and the consequence is that Sir James Graham has issued an order for his removal from Bethlehem to his old quarters at Millbank prison , previous to his commuted sentence being carried into execution . The prisoner will now , consequently , be transported for life to one of the penal settlements .

      Fire at Newisqtos . — . Shortly after twelve o'clock on Sunday morning , a fire broke out- upon tho premises belonging to Mr . liawbone , oil andltalian warehouseman , Frances-street , hieing St . Mary ' s Church , Newington . The engines of the parish , London Brigade , and West of England Office promptly attended , but bv the time they arrived the flames were bursting forth through the windows and doorway . The Lambeth water works furnished an instant and abundant supply of water , from which the engines were worked with full vigour , but the firemen were unable to subdue the conflagration before halfpast one o ' clock , and not before property to the amount of several hundred pounds was consumed . .

      A Fortu . vate Recovery . — On Saturday afternoon , Mr . Hawkins , clerk to Messrs Mills , Thome , and Sons , brewers ; Nine Elms , stepped , by mistake , on board the Putney steamer , at Nine Elms , and on discovering his error attempted to regain the pier , though the boat was under weig h * , but ho stepped short , fell into the . river , and was saved with some difficulty , having narrowly escaped getting under the paddle-wheels . When taken out of the water . Mr . Hawkins's first exclamation was , " Where is my bag V When he fell into the river he had in his hand a bag containing £ 900 in gold , silver , banknotes , and cheques ; and this bag had gone to the bottom ! A reward of £ 20 had the effect of setting

      to work a good many persons , consisting of wherrymen , Thames policemen , _ and others . The watermen acted in concert , having agreed that all should share alike whoever might be the individual finder . The search was continued aU the afternoon and during the night , with drags , boat-hooks , & c , and even by diving , and the lucky bag was at last fished up , at ten o ' clock on Sunday morning , by a man named Maynard . The £ 20 were paid and honourably divided . Had the lost treasure been carried . out to sea by the current , Mr . Hawkins ' s predicament would have been most painful in more senses than one , as he might have been subjected to an unjust imputation that the money had been otherwise disposed of . - ii-J ,:

      Melancholy Event . —A melancholy arid fata ] event took place in the village of Rodoret , in Piedmont , last month , by which the Rev . Daniel Buffa , the clergyman of that place , and his family lost their lives . During the night an avalanche fell upon his residence , situated on an alpine steep ; his parishioners , alarmed at the heavy noise of the fall , hastened to the relief of their beloved young pastor , several hundred men were engaged for five hours before a passage couldbe cleared through the snow , and when they had obtained an entrance into the house , a most distressing scene presented itself . The clergy man , aged 29 , his wife , aged 20 , and their infant son , were discovered quite dead . A servant shared the same fete . A favourite dog alone survived . This sad catastrophe has occasioned a mournful sensation throughout the Protestant valleys . The funeral of the devoted family took place on the 20 th ult ., and Was attended linearly all the inhabitants and many of -the : miniaters of Piedmont .

      Daring Highway Robbery near Leeds . —One of the most daring highway robberies that has happened in this neighbourhood for a number of years past , was perpetrated on Saturday night last , on the Leeds and Wetberby turnpike road . A man named Robert White , who resides in a yard in Briggate , Leeds , is in custody . He was brought up before the West Riding magistrates on Tuesday last , at the Courthouse , when the following evidence was adduced : — Thos . Richardson stated : I am a grocer , and live in Leeds with my father-in-law , Mr . John Kaye , whose servant I am . On Saturday night last , I was returning in a gig from a journev of business , and when I was getting towards Shadwcll , on the other side of the Wellington Inn , I saw the prisoner walking

      towards Leeds . 1 was driving rather slowly at the time , and when I got opposite to him , he came off the footpath and took hold of the horse's head . I said ; " Hollo ; ' what do you want ? " He replied , "Your money or your life *" and running his liaml along the reins , came to the gig where I was seated , and again demanded my money . Some parleying ensued , during which the witness offered him a few shillings , which * the prisoner refused to take , and getting upon the second step of the gig , he presented a pistol at the prosecutor ' s head , saying , "Your purse or your life instantly . "—Witness : I told

      him the purse was not mine , and before I would part with it I would part with my life . Prisoner replied , "As the purse is not yours , if you'll give me two sovereigns and your watch , I'll let you go . " I told him I had no watch , but I would give hiin one sovereign if he would go away quietly . Prisoner declared , "PU either have two , or I'll blow your brains out instantly * " The . witness gave him two sovereigns , and he got off the gig , when prosecutor set off at a gallop . The prisoner then went towards Wethevby . —The witness spoke positively as to the identity of the prisoner , both from his appearance and tlie tone of his voice . The prisoner was l-emauded .

      " SWELL MOB . "—Skmous Robber * at Leeds . — On Tuesday morning last , four individuals ( two men and two women ) , having tho appearance of what is vulgarly denominated " reg"lar swells , " were brought up at the Court-house , the women charged with robbing Mrs . Clarkson , green-grocer , hi Briggate , of the sum of £ 26 lOs . i and the men with being accomplices . The men , who have been known as " black-legs" and constant attendants at fail's and races for a period of from ten to fifteen years past , are each possessed of a horse and gig , with which it appears they and their " ladies" travel from place to place in the exercise of then . vocation , the nature of which may be easily

      opined . The names given in by the parties are—Wm . Birch , horse clipper , Edgeware , Middlesex ; Robert Hughes , horse clipper , Oxford ; Hannah Humphrey , from Lincolnshire ; and Phoebe Keatley , Northampton . About four o ' clock on Saturday afternoon last , the female prisoners went to . the shop of Mrs . Clarkson , and ; bought some oranges and another tnflnig . article . While they were in the shop Mrs . C . had occasion to stoop down , and whilst in the bending posture she felt a rubbing againsther person ; she immediatel y turned and looked at the prisoners , but saw nothing to ; excite her suspicion . On resuming her former position , she experienced

      Use Law For The Rich And Another Fob The...

      a similar sensation ¦;; : hut deceived by the , rcspect-j able appearance of the parties , she thought they must have come against . her aceidently . Soon after the women rather hurriedly left the shop , and turned round the comer leading to theshanibies—along which they proceeded at such a rapid pace as to attract attention . Mrs . Clarkson , not long after their departure , discovered that . a purse had been abstracted from her pocket , containing twenty-six sovereigns , one half sovereign , a spade gumea , a French coin , and a shilling of old date . Information was given of the robbery at tho police-office , when police-officers Stubbs , Cordukes , and Kell , went in search of the prisoners , and aftermuch trouhleandpersevcrancc , found that tlte parties had been lodging at the Junction Inn , New Road End , from Thursday until Saturday morning , when the landlady , not being satisfied with the manner in which they conducted themselves , refused to entertain them any longer . From the Junction

      it was found they had gone to the Black Bull , in llunslet-lane , which place they left on Saturday night . From information obtained , the chief-constable ( Mr . Read ) ordered the above named officers to proceed on the road to Wakefield , and on doing so soon discovered they were in the right direction . On Sunday , they learnt that the prisoners had slept at New Miller Dam , about three miles from Wakefield , on the road to Barnsley . From New Miller Dam , it was found they had gone by a cross road to Doncaster , at which place they were apprehended . They were found at a public-house called the Marquis of Granby , On the person of Humphrey was found £ 10 lis ; on Keatley £ 8 lis . Id ; one Birch two half-Sovereigns and Gs . Gd . in silver ; and on Hughes lis . find a trench coin , which Mrs . Clarkson can identify , as well as two marked sover eigns found upon the person of Hannah Humphrey . The prisoners were remanded .

      Dreadful Fihe in C' hjeapside . — Narhow Escape of awiiolk Family . —On Thursday morning , shortly after one o ' clock , the immediate vicinity of Cheapside was thrown into a state of the greatest alarm and excitement in consequence of the sudden outbreak of a most serious fire upon the extensive range of premises belonging to Messrs . Courtould and Taylor , crape-manufacturers , situate at No . 42 , Gutter-lane . The first discovery was made by policeconstable Gormon , who succeeded in arousing Mr . Taylor , his wife , and three other females , who all made their appearance at the second-floor front .

      rue fire by that tune had obtained such a firm hold , and the smoke was ascending in such dense bodies up the staircase , that none of the inmates were able to descend by the usual means . The police having opened the jumping ^ sheet of the London Fire Establishment , three females precipitated themselves from the second floor , and were received in safety below . Mrs . Taylor and another female effected their escape by sliding down the ladder . The firemen were unable to extinguish the conflagration until past two o ' clock , and not before the flames had reached almost every portion of the three lower floors of the building .

      Additional Particulars . —The fire in Gutter-lane was attended by . a serious accident to one of the inmates ., 'i he premises in which the fir e commenced were in the occupation of Messrs . Courtold , Taylors , and Courtold , crape and silk merchants . They were five floors in height , with a frontage of considerable extent . The inmates consisted of Mr . P . A . Taylor , jun ., his wife , and two female servants . One of the latter , Caroline Norris , a young woman about 25 , was so severely injured , that for two hours after the fire was extinguished she was insensible . It appears that she jumped from the second floor , intending to fall upon the sheet fire escape , which several persons were holding underneath . The flames , however , bursting through the warehouse window with

      violence , uiey ufoVe some Of the parties back , and instead of falling into the centre of the escape , she fell at the side , and from thence on to the stone pavement . The house-keeper was saved by tin-owing herself into the escape sheet . The damage do Messrs . Courtold , Taylor , and Co . ' s property is }? mated at near £ 10 , 000 . . es « - Escape fkom Poisox . —In calling the attention of our readers to the many and melancholy instances of unsuccessful escape from poison , it necessarily rejoices our hearts to he able to make mention of the escape of a whole family and their friends from , the deleterious results of systematically administered arsenic in soup and coffee . Tho party were all seized the next moraine with severe illness , and some kept their beds

      for three days . This happened about a week ago in Connaught-terracc , and the rector of St . Mary ' s ( the Rev . Dr . Dibdin ) had nearly been in the number of the victims . The amiable host and hostess may he said to have very narrowly escaped from the poison inserted in the coffee . The next morning the papers told the talc of a gentleman and liislady , of the name of Montagu , having been poisoned by tea . Wc can make , little doubt but death walks abroad in this shape ( poison , b y _ some means or other ) in a variety of undiscovered Instances . Tho chain of evidence is difficult of unravelling . Meantime some means should be adopted by tho legislature to regulate . the sale of poisohs'by chemists . Thk Murder at Hampstead , ( continued from page C . )—Adjourned Ixquest . —Mr . Wakley ,

      Coroner for Middlesex , Mr . G . J . Mills , Deputy Coroner , and the jury empanelled to inquire into the circumstances connected with the late murder near I ' rimrose-liill , re-assembled on Thursday morning at . the Yorkshire Grey Tavern , Hampstead . The first witness examined was Mr . Perry , the surgeon , and-his evidence having been read over , he added the results of the post mortem examination . Ho found various bruises of the scalp and other smaller injuries . On examining the under surface of the scalp , he found it much bruised and blachened from repeated blows . The left temporal muscle was much softened and exceedingly black , and on removing the skull cap , the brain was found to be quite healthy , and no effusion of anv kind imon it . and there was

      no fracture of the skull . There was no extravasation of blood ; in fact , aa he had already said , the brain was quite healthy . lie ascribed the death to concussion of the Drain , from repeated blows . The other parts of the body were notopehed . They were not such injuries as could have been inflicted by a fall . —Mr . Perry requested that he might be allowed to correct a mistake he had fallen into in the course of the last examination . He had statedthen that the injuries were inflicted by a blunt cutting instrument ; he was now of opinion , from closer examination , that they were inflicted by a heavy weapon , as a stick or crowbar . —Edward Scottney , 21 I , then examined upon oath : I belong to the Hammersmith station of police . I took

      Thomas Hemy flocker into custody on suspicion of being concerned in the murder of the late James Delaine . The witness proceeded to detail the circumstances of the prisoner ' s arrest ( which will be found in another part of this paper ); but the coroner stopped the proceedings , object ing to receive evidence touching an absent man ; and it appeared there were some difficulties in the way of producing the prisoner , who is at present in Clerkenwell gaol . The coroner commented at some length on the alleged obstacles put in the way of the execution of his duties , which he intimated

      would be made subject of discussion in a higher quarter ; and after a consultation with the jury the inquest was again adjourned to Saturday morning , at half past nine . Robbery at Kew Church . —On Sunday morning last , Kew Church ( which stands in the centre of Kew Green ) was entered by some thieves , who carried away a box which contained the parish registers , and a book , in which was entered a list of charitable bequests belonging to the parish . The object of the robbers was probably the communion plate ; but that is in safer keeping . There is at present no clue to the offenders ' , the police , however , are duly on the alert .

      Hydrophobia by the Bite op a Healthy Horse . —A strong hostler , aged thirty , never bitten by a dog , but three yours ago a healthy horse , to which he was giving fodder , bit him on the left fore-arm , but the wound healed by itself without any perceptible scar . Now , after a restless night , the patient was' found labouring under all the symptons of hydrophobia . He did not complain of particular pains , but of inexpressible anguish , by which he was forced to throw himself about constantly , to move the limbs violently , and to scream out incessantly . His consciousness

      was unaffected , he showed no tendency to bite , and could controul himself sufficiently . The conjuctiva was highly congested ; the pupils contracted ; respiration accelerated and difficult , - the skin moderately warm and moist . The patient spat frequently , and expectorated a tough scanty mucus , the pituitous membrane of the mouth being very red and dry . During the whole disease neither stool nor urine was discharged . The pulse was small and irregular , and a bright light increased the patient ' s anguish considerably . He was dead in nine hours after the commencement Of the attack . —Medical Times .

      Hurrah for Peel ' s Tariff ' . —Another Reduction in the Hand-loom Weavers' Wages . —Another reduction has taken place at Blackburn , ill the Hand-loom Weavers' miserable wages . On Saturday last , a weaver took three cuts in , the week ' s work of two weavers , expecting to receive 6 s . 8 d . per cut ; but , to his great surprise and mortification , he only received 6 s ., or 18 s . instead of 20 s . for the whole . This is the second reduction of 8 d , per cut since last summer , on this fabric of cloth .
