      Announce That The Extreme Heat Had Entir...

      ( CarJbUtdfroui- the firfl Page . ) ioicir " . ( Loud and continued cheering ) I will now introduce -Mr . M'Grath of the Chartist Executive and Land Directory to you . ( Renewed chces mf . ) Mr . M'Grath on rising was loudly tliefied . Ik congr atulated the people of Newton on the splendid dem onstration which they had made to-day iu favour « f Chartism , combined with Laudism . lie hoped llrst the numerous mcetinn that assembled to-day at the Tower , and the spirited and « nthu * $ ia » iic oho -which lie now'had tho honour to address , would result in good to the people of Sewton particularly , and to the movement generally . He knew that the

      Democratic North would read in Saturday ' s Star with exaltation the proceedings which have taken place lere to-day . They will be cheered with the eon-• viclion that their countrymen in the West are instinct with the same pure spirit of liberty , wlue-h actuates and animates themselves . ( Cheers . ) He ] o « ked to iw-ults as the true index of the good effected thev had now in this little town 160 mem-\ iersin ' ibc Land Society , what addition will tins dav ' s proceedings make to that number ? he hoped to ' heaveremanv davs passed over , that the present number is doubled . ( Cheers . ) It such should KOt prove the casehe thought that the working men of this

      , town would prove themselves criminally negligent of lliek b ? SU « tercsts . ( Hear . ) Ho thought that while they struggled for social improvement tliey should not neglect their politics ! emancipation . ( Cheers . ) 3 > y their own apathy and indifference tliey were now the veriest slaves that ever crouched at the footstool Of despotism . Mr . M'Grath heree & tered into a lucid investigation of the political degradatfon of the toiling millions , and set forth by the most irrefutable argumentation the claims of the people to the immunities of freemen : when the speaker had concluded , the meeting rose simultaneously aad cheered for some minutes .

      Mr . O'Cosxon was received with cheers and waving of hats and handkerchiefs that made the building ring , lie said , Sir—This day ' s proceedings are to measourceof two-fold satisfaction and pride . Firstly , I think I may console myself after the transcendant speech you have just heardfrom the young gentleman on your left , Mr . M'Grath —( loud cheering)—with the cheering reflection , that when my lamp of life is burnt out , when mv thread isspun , that I leavebehind me a staff well qualified to see my principlesrealized , my motives justified , and my cause triumphant

      ( Cheers . ) My next cause of comfort is , that I have this day succeeded in breaking the charm and strength of party by uniting theagricultural serf with the manufacturing slave —( great cheer . *)—and believe me , sir , that this is taking one of the strongest props from faction , because it has ever been the practice to persuade those two orders that they are two separate and distinct interests . ( Cheers . ) The landlords upholding their privileges by the force of THEIR slaves , and the manufacturers making battle with TJJE 1 R serfs . But now , sir , thanks be to God , we lave taken both from faction , and I have much hope

      from this glorious but tardy union . ( Cheers . ) Mr . O'Connor then entered into an interesting narrative « f tli 9 Chartist movement , explaining the various « nemies and opposition it bad to contend against , and asked if it was not a wonder that any man living ' above want , should dare to advocate the condemned principles . Be next entered into a most lucid and ¦ satisfactory exposition ofthe Land plan , and the capabilities of the soil . Apart . saidhe , from its durable effect , ! will showyouthesecurityitpresentsto its members through the several stages , frem subscription , to lot » tion , and its everlasting effect upon society atlarge . Firstly then ; when a sectionis full , and a ballot is about to take place , many men will gladly give a bonus for the chance of a priz 2—that is , will purchase a share for more than double the original

      . amount —( cheers . ) A circumstance which injures no one , inasmuch as it is matter of total indifference -whether A or B shall have a share . Secondly . —If a member draws a prize he will be sure of 30 , 40 , or 50 pounds for the preference , when he shall be in a situation to dispose of his allotment , without detriment to individuals , or to th e funds of the society—( cheers . ) Here , then , are two fascinating features , ^ hich will be rarely if ever presented , as few will abandon now a chance of priority ; and I pledge myself , that once housed no man will relinquish his < laim for any amount that can be xeasonably offered ( cheers . ) So much for the progress from

      membership to location , and now 1 will suppose the worst , the very worst , that could possibly happen—the failure , the utter failure of every single occupant . "Why , even then , the plan remains , and I pledge myself , that not one allotment , if let by tender , would remain untenanted forty-eight 'hours —( cheers . ) 2 fay , wore , I am now in a situation to judge , and I pledge my faith and knowledge that the Ilerringsgate Farm , if let on tender to-morrow , would let to sol-Tent , substantial tenants , without the respective premiums of £ 15 , £ ? 2 10 s , and 4130 , for One Hundred a year more rent than the society will charge ; and even more , much more than that , while each

      year's improvement will be a savings bank for labour cf which neither government , law , nor commercial failure can dispossess him—( loud cheers . ) Let me now remind you of a simple fact , which has not yet even struck the members . 1 would , then , ask you , where asy twelve of you would turn to secure allotments cf two , three , or four acres , with suitable cottages and capital ? There is no such market for labour—there is no such hope , no such harbour for you . And now , allow me to show the interest that all classes o £ society have in its success . I commence with the landlord-class , and I will even go so fur :: s ta admit that the plan , if largely carried out ,

      would benefit , them , by making their wholesale badly caltivatcd commodity , a retail article widely competed for— ( chcei-5 . ) I will admit the rise in the price of Land , and yet I care not what they charge ; -with a iree-laboar market Land is worth any amount of rent , and its improvement becomes a , savings bank for . the occupant , while its possession in perpetuity gives him ... pride and insp ires him with love of industry . ( Loud- cheers . ) Thus the landlords cannot suffer , and now for the laannfsAturers , who ransack all the habitable globe for customers , and people islands and colonizsdeserta from home , in order that they may be better

      customers than at home . Three million pounds from America , two million from Russia , and so on in proportion , arc good annual returns for the produce : English slave labour , while some of our colonies are a dead loss to us . Well , jure me one million of : Vee labourers , with five to a family , and I will guarantee an increase of £ 5 a head , or twenty-five milj j ^ -ns a y ear in British consumption . ( Loud cheers . ) But sin , they fear the effect upon the labour market —( Casers )—and they know that their profits are inada up of the plunder of labour . Then for the j . ! : ^ keepers who vote for free traders —( Hear , hear ) v .:. v of all s'asses , the sluspkeepers have the greatest

      interest iu the success of and remuneration of labour . ( Cheers . ) They are the agents between the producers and consumers , and , whether would one customer with £ 1000 a-year , or twenty customers with £ 50 a-vcar each , be best for iheir tills ? ( Cheers . ) The grand principle , then , ofthe plan is , that wc purchase land in the wholesale market , un shackled from the laws of primogeniture , of settlement and entail , and let it in coarcnieaS portions iu the retail market at the wholesale price —( Checre )—with the protection and advantages that the rules of the society and the integrity of its oiiiccrs hold out . ( Cheers . ) I have now expatiated at considerable length upon the merits of my youngest child , and I : shall direct your attention to a consideration of the character of his eldest brother , to whom he is to look

      fur protection—His Charter . ( Cheers . ) Mr . M'Grath lias convinced me that the son and heir will find plenty of guardians and protectors fully capable of watching his minority and insuring his maturity—( laud cheers)—in fact , the transcendant speech that he has delivered , mainly upon the merits of the Chartut principle , would relieve me from the necessity of a single observation if I . did not think that , like the land and its better cultivation , I couldfalso give you an easy scale , a sort of ready reckoner , by which you could measure man's right to the suffrage . It is this-a woman of eighteen years of age , whether she be wise or foolish , whether she be a philosopher or an idiot , is qualified to \ be the head of all our churches , at will to controal all onr institutions , to make war and peace at her pleasure , to appoint her Awn ministers , to assent to or dissent from bills

      passed by her wise , hereditary cousins , and her wellbeloved Commons ; while the best education , best conduct , and greatest industry , docs not constitute a Voting qualification for the wisest man of twenty one years of age . ( Loud cheers . ) Noiv , this is a posi tive crime ; so that the Royal prerogative may be said to be based on crime . A man of twent y years and eleven months old cannot dispose of his property by will , but an infant » f eighteen , of thu weaker sex , can set us all by the ears , set nations fighting , and control the world . ( Cheers and laughter . ) Mr . O'Connor then entered at considerable length upon the policy ot faction , and the duty of

      the people at the next general election . He showed that it was by no means necessary to have a majority of members in the House of Commons to control the will of the Minister ; thai ten staunch , ' resolute members , standing beside Buncombe —( tre " mentions cheering)—the people ' s only member . would snap to pieces Whig or Tory , when some fitting opportunity presented itself . ( Loud cheers . ) Governments were irequcntly lost or saved by less than twenty-four of a majority , or a minority ; and twelve votes count twenty-four when given against a Minister who presumed npon their support , or when pressed hard . ( This announcement appeared to give

      great satisf ction and to create much surprise ) Tou now sec , said Mr . O'Connor , that our position , if clearly understood , is not , after all , one of such great difficulty . Get twenty members , twenty Buncombes , —but they must bo Duncombes , —in the House of Commons , and faction ' s race is orcr , and the day is our own . ( Loud and continued cheering . ) And oh ! what an out-door pressure we could bring to bear upon the malcontents through our little band of patriotic ' members . ( Cheers . ) Tou have now heard my views ; yon have heard my objects , my principles , my hopes , and my very thoughts ; but I am no ? capable of realising any of them without your

      cooperation . ( Cheers . ) Instead of resting while lam working—instead of my exertion promoting yonr apathy , your language should be : Who is Feargus OConnor—what can he do for me ? And let the answer from one and all be— "NOTHING . We , and we only , can achieve our own redemption . " ( Loud cheers . ) Ho this , the Land and the Charter will very sson be within your reach ; while I think that you have a greater guarantee for my stability and integ " rity than for that of any man living , ( Cheers . ) Not only because I love the democratic principle , and am sincere in my professions of political faith , but because I am one of a persecuted familv , with a

      desire for vengeance for their sufferings rankling ' in my mind , and with a fixed and deter * mined resolution to aid in the humiliation of a proud and tyrannical oligarchy , who were their oppressors and yours . ( Tremendous cheering . ) Yes , my friends , I hare an uncle who next year will be in the fiftieth year of his banishment , whose only crime was devotion to his Catholic countrymen and the democratic principle , and I had a father whom the bloody Castlereagh and his hellish vampire coadjutors hunted from prison to prison charged with High Treason , until it was a boon to be allowed to be dragged from his dungeon to the PURE air of a

      prison yard upon a hand-barrow , when tyranny had deprived him of the use of his limbs , but not of the love of his principles . ( Tremendous cheering and waving of hats . ) Well , then , as Hannibal to his father swore , I have solemnly vowed to seek vengeance for their oppression from every earthly tribunal , but it shall not be the vengeance of blood , as there is no sure foundation set in blood , but it will be the prouder , the purer , the holier vengeance , of pulling down their temple of tyranny , and establishing on its ruins a monument of freedom . ( Loud and continued applause and waving of hats followed the conclusion of Mr . O'Connor ' s address . )

      Mr . O'Connor asain rose to say that a perssn upon the platform had asked him if a man could support his family upon two acres of land ; of course the meeting would not require him to go into the details of agriculture , but as a practical farmer he would say that he would much rather have two acres of land upon the society ' s terms than have 50 s . a week guaranteed to him for the easiest work . ( Loud cheers . )

      Mr . M Gbath then rose to propose a vote of thanks to the Chairman , which Mr . O'Connor seconded in a highly complimentary speech , expressing a hope that the men of Devonshire would mark him as one of labour ' s representatives in the next parliament , assuring the meeting , amid reiterated cheers , that the manufacturing operatives of the north would support the agriculturist champion in the west .

      Mr . Wmussos briefly returned thanks , declaring that that was the proudest day of his life , and that the men of Devonshire owed the two gentlemen who had so pre-eminently enlightened them , a great debt of gratitude . The meeting then separated in the highest spirit and best humour , Giving three cheers for the land and the Charter , three for Buncombe , three for the Chairman , O'Connor and M'Grath , and three and one cheer more for Frost , Williams and Jones ; and thus ended the glorious ceremony of joining together in holy wedlock the manufacturing operatives of the north and the agricultural labourers of the west , and those that God has joined together let no man put asunder .

      an Lcipsic , which broke out on the evening of tho 28 th ult . at the Hotel de Polognc , and which continued to rage during the whole night . About ten o ' clock the flames had already committed great ravages , and rising to a considerable height illuminated the whole city . At six o ' clock in tho morning of the 30 th the conflagration was still violent . The Jiotcl de Polognc formes part of an extensive range of buildings situated in tbe centre of the city , and is one of the richest quarters of Leipsic ; the greater part of these buildings has been destroyed by the flames . Immense volumes of flames rose from the centre of this mass of buildings , like the eruption of a volcano . Several serious accidents took place . I

      From India And China Letters And Papeva ...

      From INDIA AND CHINA letters and papeva have been tecevved by oxtrao *> dinary express , in consequence of a special steamer having been dispatched with Sir George Arthur , Governor of Bombay , who returns to this country in a hopeless state of illness . We have by this conveyance , dispatches and commercial news from Calcutta to the 18 th of July , and from Bombay to the Gth of August . The chief political news is , that the spirit of dissatisfaction with the Government at Lahore , of the Queen-Mother , and of Wuzer Lall Singh , threatens to explode in acts of violence . The notorious fanatics , called the Akhalees , were collecting in the neighbourhood of that capital , and fears were

      entertained of their commencing a bloody struggle . The months of September and October have been often a signal for butcheries amongst the Seikhs . Ghoohtb Singh is surrounded with difficulties in his new kingdom . Some of his own relatives are clamorous for paymmt of his brother ' s legacies to them . The Chief of Mooltan was not disposed to yield obedience to the Government of Lahore , and a contest was expected in the-southern part of the Punjaub , in which the British will be compelled to interfere . The Arabs , it appears , made an attack on some of the grounds near Aden on the 10 th of last month , but were repulsed with a loss of seven killed , and a considerable number wounded . The cholera has broken out at Hyderabad , where eight hundred had died on the first day . What dying of cholera in India is , the following extract from the Bombay Times illustrates ; it also illustrates the glory of a soldier ' s life : —

      " Who shall depict the scenes in the hospitals * I speak more of the Fusiliers , because of that I saw much ; every cot was filled—delirium here , death there : the fearful shrieks of pain and anguish . Men whom you had seen but a short time before hale and strong , were rolling in at every door , crowding ever y apace—countenances so fnll of misery—eyes sunken and glaring , shrivelled and blackened cheeks . This , too , tbe work of five short minutes or less I So sudden was death with some that they were seised , cramped , collapsed , dead , almost as last as I have written the words . Previous health and strength were no guarantees ; men attending the burials of their comrades were attacked , borne to the hospital , and buried themselves the next morning . Pits were dug in the cjiurchyard morning and evening ; sewn up in their beddings , coffinless , they were laid side by side , one service reid overall . " By advices from the

      CAPE OF GOOD HOPE , we learn that there has been another engagement between the Caffres and the English forces , under Colonial H . Somerset , in which the former were defeated with great lose , 200 o f the enemy being left dead on the field . Our loss was trifling , amounting only to two killed and 16 wounded . Particulars will be found in our seventh p age . The war is yet far from its termination ; the tribes in the interior , to the N . and N . E . of the colony are all rising . A large body of the tribes was said to bo advancing against Fort Peddie , after the capture of which they intended to move with an overwhelming force into the colony . From the

      WEST INDIES we have a very imperfect account , or rather mere notice of a strike for wages on the part ofthe native labourers , ( formerly the slaves ) . Thus it will be seen that the " slavery of wages" has become the substitute for the " slavery of the whip" in our " emancipated " colony ; as yet , however , tho black worker is in an infinitely superior situation to his white brother : unlike the Birmingham artizan or the Manchester factory worker , he is not wholly dependent upon a master ' s pleasure . The black worker has a portion of the soil , usually sufficient for his own sustenance , and therefore he is enabled to demand and enforce the conditions on which he will devote a portion of his time to the cultivation ofthe estate of his employer . Let the English working men think of this , and struggle to get themselves " emancipated . "

      Turning to Foreign Affairs , the most interesting intelligence this week from

      FRANCE is that relating to the anticipated famine , and the mysterious incendiary fires at present desolating a considerable portion of that country . In our seventh page will be found some revelations of the progress of both those scourges , calculated to excite serious apprehensions of social disturbances , which very often as history records , are followed by political convulsions . Rothschild , Louis-Philippe , Guizot and Co . may find their anticipated lease of power considerably shortened . John Bull is said to be an unruly animal when hia belly pinches , but the French people , habituated to powder and ball , and having served a long apprenticeship to revolution-making , will be found more unmanageable . They will never die quietly , as in Ireland , satisfied with "holy unction" and a " moral force" prayer . There is no lack of humbugs in France , but happily there is

      no one charlatan with the influence of the Irish Mokanna , therefore the people will not be deluded into submissiveness to a state of misery , caused not so much by the unfruitfulness of nature as by the villainous plundcrings of the idle non-producers . There is , and is likely to be , plenty to cat in France provided it was equally , or rather justly apportioned to those who produce all . When that stock fails , the poor may then eat the rich , the rich have long fed upon the poor . The Chamber of Deputies has adjourned after a short session of eighteen days . It is not true that the " Address" was voted " unanimously , " in point of fact only 231 votes were recarded , the opposition en masse retraining from taking part in the vote . On Friday both Chambers were prorogued to the 11 th of January , 1847 . The statement given by several journals ofthe severe illness of Beranger the French poet is , we are happy to state , without foundation .

      It appears that in congratulating ourselves last week that there was at last an end to the disputes respecting the marriage of the Queen of SPAIN , we were somewhat premature ; the announcement af the intended marriage of herself and sister having on she contrary set the newspaper ( press of Europe in a blaze . Columns upon columns of editorial outpourings , Spanish , French , and English on this question , are before us , which to wade through may be fairly pronounced an herculean task . Amidst a mass of rubbish , there arc nevertheless some facts worthy ot record as illuminating the evils of monarchy , and the views held by the Spaniards themselves aa regards this arrangement . Some of the letters from Madrid

      contain astounding disclosures of the revolting means employed to fo rce this double marriage . The miserable girl called "' Queen" was coerced into this arrangement by the most villainous means . The Queen it appears has a natural distaste for her intended husband , which distaste has been heightened by the avowed hatred of her mother towards him , yet nj > w , to propitiate Louis Philippe , thk infamous mother compels her child to marry a man whom she has taught to loathe . It was with tears in her eyes , and her bosom heaving with sobs , that she was forced to plight her troth to him . It is even said that certain arguments were used — by some of the corrupt and antiquated , but still licentious , spirits that gloat over the visions of past

      sensuality , and still haunt the scene of the debauchery of ten or twelve years since , —arguments that one hesitates to refer to more particularly—in order to excite the imagination of the child , and induce her to accept the new candidate proposed by M . Bresson . On her consent bcin . y wrung from her M . Bresson was in a moment on the spot , and , profiting by the occasion , he formally demanded the hand of the Infanta for the Duke of Montpcusier . It was agreed to ; and in an hour or two afterwards , a courier was on his way to the capital of Franco . Let us now see how tliis double " sale" has been received by the Spanish people . With one exception , the Ikraldo , every Madrid paper has denounced the intended marriage of tho Infanta with the Duke

      de Moutpt-nsicr . John liull m the height of his "Churchami King" insanity , never hated Frenchmen nifcro heartily than they are detested by their neighbours , the Spaniards ; and in truth , Spaniards have suffered too much at the hand of the French » overnments , to entertain anything approaching' " to fraternal sympathies for their friends on tho Gallic side of the Pyreness . Against this French alliance , or rather French domination , all parties but tho Camarilla , combine . Progvessistas , Cariists , the most important section of the Modcrados , appc . ir"deteraiiucd to oppose this intended mama « o to ' the

      death . With regard to the popular feclinglhroughout Spain , the following extract from ar . article in ElMspeetador seems to exactly express it : — "These are considerations which prohibit Mont pensicr from ascending the throne of Spain . In his character of Frenchman the War of Independence forbids it ; in his character of Bourbon the liberticide intervention of 1823 ; in , his character of Orleans , the promises made to the emigrants in 1830 turned into derision , the failure of fulfilment ofthe Quadruple Treaty , the dubious conduct ofjus father ' s Government throughout the Carlist war , and the support which that father ' s Government has afforded to the tyrant of our

      country—ail these considerations prevent Montpensicr from aspiring to tho throne of Spain . " Illustrations of tho feelings , above expressed wc might multiply to almost to any extent . The suppression of this feeling is to he attempted by the most arbitrary means . Already several of the Madrid journals have been seized for protesting against this marriage ; M . Bresson declares that " what he has obtained by the pen , his Government will defend with the sword ; " and . lastl y , Narvaes is to take the place of Isturitz as President of the Council of Ministere . lie is on his way to Madrid , to strangle , shoot , or banish all who oppose his master , the French " Traitor oi the Barricades . " In the meantime popular excitement increases . Tbe foulest epithets aro made use of against Louis-Philippe , Guizot , Bresson , . MoutpeaBier , Maria

The Conservative party has been defeated , and the new Government , appointed on the 27 th and 28 ih ult ., is composed of men remarkable for their democratic op inions .

      the beast ' s neck , it suddenly gored about the body in a frightful manner , and it was only by using extreme violence that the animal was made to relinquish its attack . The deceased was at length extricated in a dying state , and , by the advice of a neighbouring surgeon , he was conveyed to the above hospital , where he expired from the injuries three hours after his admission , having sustained a fracture of the cervical vertebra ? , fracture of the sternum , and numerous other internal injuries . Verdict , "Accidental death . " -

      The Convict John SMiTH . ~ -We understand that her Majesty has been pleased to respite John Smith during pleasure . The convict is indebted for the preservation of his life to the jury who tried him , all of whom signed a memorial for mercy ; to the untiring efforts of Mr . and Mrs . Walters and their family , whom he has served for 17 years ; to the members oi the coroner ' s jury who signed the general petition ; to the magistrates , clergy , merchants , and others in London and in Norwich , who added 3 , 000 signatures , testifying their estimate of the value of character under circumstances wherein such testimony only can avail a prisoner ; and above all , to the kindness and unremitting exertions of Mr . Alderman Sidney .

      Fatal Accident . — On Wednesday afternoon , about two o ' clock , the following fatal accident occurred to a respectable lad , named James Forty , aged fourteen , residing in Union-street , Lambeth-Wa'k . About the time above mentioned Forty , and teveral of bis schoolfellows , proceeded to the water side at Lambeth , for the purpose of bathing , and having undressed themselves went into the water . They had not been bathing long before Forty got out of his depth , and cried loudly for assistance ; one of his companions endeavoured to reach him but in vain . The poor fellow continued to struggle for a few seconds , and then sunk to rise no more .

      Tub late Forgery by a Railway Director . —At the Mansion Iiouse on Wednesday , Captain William Richardson , late chairman to the Tenbury , Worcester , and Ludlow Railway Company , charged with having altered a cheque , drawn on the company on Cqutts' bank for £ 10 , to a sum of £ 5 , 000 , and appropriating the proceeds to his own use , underwent a thirdexamination , which lasted some hours . The evidence was plain against the prisoner , whose legal adviser admitted the case to be one of gross fraud , but contended that the offence did not amount to forgery . The prisoner was again remanded till Friday , the 18 th instant .

      PiraisHMKim ik Algeria . —At Algiers , when any one had to complain of the Cadi ' s judgment , or when the adverse party would not submit to the decision , the complainant went to the Cosbah , seized with both hands a bell chain hanging at the gate , and rang with all his might . An officer then appeared , to whom he related his case . A message was sent to the Cadi , inquiring into the correctness of the statement made by the plantiff , to whom was rendered whatever justiceappeared due to him . Oa the contrary , if the plaintiff was found to be in the wrong , he was bastinadoed with some hundred blows on the soles of his

      feet , and was besides compelled to undergo all the consequences ofthe judgment of which he complained . When the question related to a criminal affair , the Dey sent the culprit to the A ga , who caused the sentence to be executed forthwith . The punishments inflicted on criminals were barbarously severe . The slightest offence against the Government was punished by the bastinado , which was administered not only on the soles of the feet , but also on the belly and the back . From thirty t » twelve hundred blows were given , according to the nature of the offence . Two men , each armed with a piece of flexible wood , as thick aa an ordinary cane , alternately struck the culprit , wlu ^ was laid " on a sort of bench , with his legs and his arms tied . Even when the criminal sometimes expired under this punishment , the executioneers continued to strike , until

      they had completed the number of blows specified by the sentence . Persons condemned to death were decapitated with the axe or the yatagan ; hanged ; impaled ; burned alive ; or thrown upon great iron hooks at the gate of Ba-Azoun , on which they remained impaled for several days , until they died of hunger in t ' ie" % ost horrible sufferings . Mr . R told me that having once visited Algiers before the occupation by the French , he saw a-man who had remained alive three days on these hooks , and that he certainly would have live d longer , had not a Janissary , either from humanity or to show his dexterity to the assembled multitude , blown out bis brains with a pistol shot . Sometimes the relatives of the persons condemned to this horrid punishment gave a certain sum of money to the executioneer to strangle the victim before he threw him over the wall . —Count St . Marie ' s Algeria in 1845 .

      Death from Prussic Acid . —On Wednesday an inquest was held bejhre W . Baker , Esq ., at the Castle , Castle-street , City-road , on the body of James Metcalfe , a dealer in isinglass , of Artillery . place Kinsbury-square . The deceased was found dead in bed on Tuesday , the 1 st Sept . Inst . The body was examined by Mr . Ingleby , of Finsbury-square , a surgeon , who stated to the registrar , Air . Sinclair , that death wag the result of a disease of the heart , with which the deceased had been effected fourteen years , and that nothing had been found in the stomach which could have caused death . Subsequently , however . Anno Cullen , servant to the deceased , found under the bed a bottle with the label on , stafiKg the contents to be "hydrocyanic acid , Scheele ' s strength , spec . grav . ODo / " but no druggist ' s name attached . In consequence of this

      discovery , an analysis of the contents of the deceased ' s stomach by Dr . Lethb y , who deposed to finding therein twenty drops of prussic acid , and he hud no doubt a considerable quantity had evaporated , besides which might have been absorbed . Fifty drops , or about one eighth of the bottle-full , would canst death . Miss S . Johnson , a relative of the deceased , stated she bad lived m Ins house- for nearl y two years , and the only medicine he . was in the habit ot taking was " Dixon ' s Aiilibilious"Tills .

The deponent , on the contrary , said he should , and desired him to set down at the table on which the supper was laid .

John Tweedy , a little boy ten years of age , stated in his deposition that his father did use tbe expressions mentioned , and immediately struck at his mother with the knife . Mr .

      THAMES . Mordebocs AssAxiLT . —On Monday , George Kemp , a tall , morose , looking man , about forty ycafs of age , was brought before Mr . Broderip charged with having wounded Jane Ford , a respectable Irishwoman , about thirty years of age . Tbe case was a very dreadful one . The prosecutrix , who had lost a great deal of blood , was supported into the Court by her husband , and , having been seated in a chair , was held up by him while she gave her evidence . Her left arm was in a sling . Theie was a deep cut on the back of her head , and several bruises on her face . It eppeared from the evidence of the woman , which was entirely supported by that of another witness named Matilda Paulin , that her husband kept the house , No . 8 , Upper Chapman-.-treet , St

      George ' s-m . the-. Enst , and the prisoner and his wife rented an apartment in the same bouse .

The woman said he dared not call her that if her husband was at home . He continued to use very bad language , and said if he could meet with her husband he would beat him . The prisoner ' s wife then locked him in the room , but he soon made bis escape from it by the window , and then made an attempt to enter Mrs . Ford ' s room , and threatened to annihilate her . Site locked the door upon him and declared that if he attempted to molest her she would throw some hot water over him .

      over him , on which be took tbe saucepan from ber hand , and after knocking her down with his fist , he beat her over the head with the saucepan .

      ju YYi * - "" > u oows , oeionginsr to tue urowu and I nncc Albert , which have recently died , after being attacked with the prevailing disease , which is raging to an alarming extent amongst the horned cattle , a large number of Scotch beasts , in the Great l ' avk , have also been similarly attacked . No lesJ than seventeen Scotch cattle have fallen victims to the epulenlic up to Friday . It appears , from all accounts which have been seen , that the disease first broke out in the north ; manifesting itself at an early period in the spring , in Perth and its vicinity . It nHiy" be considered as a very envious fact , thafi although there are cattle from ' various parts oftho Kingdom ( from Herefordshire and Devonshire , for instance , ) all grazing together in the Great Park at Windsor , the only description of beast which have been attacked aro thnsn which were bread in

      Scotland , The others , ns we learn at present , have entirely escaped . From this it would appear , notwithstanding the various and conflicting ^ opinions which have been hazarded upon the subject , that the disease is not of a contagious character , but that it is confined to certain peculiar descriptions of cattle from certain districts of the north . J 3 e this as it may , it was remarked a short time since by Gen . Wcmyss ( the manager of Prince Albert ' s farm ) , that upon a large farm in Scotland the whole ot * the cattle iu one range of sheds were affected by the disease , while in another range of sheds , but a " very short distance removed from the former , tiio cattle remained in the most healthy state .
