THE BofJLoCKS PaCKBI DRIVEN to Mabgatk . — Joe packet that left : Boulogne at ten o ' clock on Sunday night for Folkestone encountered so severe a gale in . the Channel that , instead . of making the harbour at " tholatter port , she was forced nmndto Mareate , where shewas run ashore on Monday SB * at seven o ' clock . All her . Ml landedSi safety . and started for London by railway Fatal Accidksi asd Loss ofFoob Liv . ES . _ At Bristol on Monday , a party , consisting of eleven S y respectable gentlemen , left Bristol , inabbat fceforiking to a Mr . Luff , which was sloop-rigged , and hid a half-deck . The day was a very boisterous oneblowing almost a gale from the S . S . TT .

      , , pith a heavy sea on . The boat , however , proceeded down the river , and then beat down "the' Channel , to the 'Holmes ( about twenty-one . miles ) . ' They then put about , and commenced their return horde , and had arrived , near the * light-ship , stationed bet ween some sands known as the English and Welsh Grounds , when , in injudiciousl y making a tack with all sail set , she shipped a large quantity of water She then endeavoured to go on the other tack , and the party foolishly sitting to windward , when she came round they were , of course to leeward , and ghe consequently heeled over ; shipping another sea so that she had at least a ton of water on board ' They then found to their dismav that the pump ffOuldnotact , and they commenced baling her as well could with

      as they their hats . On reachingthe month of the Avon , at a part called " The Swash , ' which is a bar of : sand at the entrance of the river , the boat missed stays , and her steersman , Mr . William Lodge ( who has been the commander of a vessel ) , suddenly luffed her up in the wind ' s eye , she being at the time nnder a press of canvas , when it is supposed she must have touched the ground , for she immediately heeled over , and almost instantly sunk , going down stern foremost . Fortunately the boat belonging to the custom-house at Pill was passing at the time , as also a boat belonging to the Ann , and , by their , united exertions , succeeded in saving seven of . the hapless voyagers , but we regret to add theotberfour were lost . ; The survivors were - landed at Pill , and medical aid procured and restoratives administered , but we regret to state that three of them still remain in a

      most dangerous state . Of the four gentlemen drowned , only one body has as yet been recovered , viz ., that of Mr . Jefferies , which was found on getting np the anchor of a vessel arrived in the basin of Bristol on Tuesday morning , ten miles from the place of the sad accident , and it must have been dragged the whole distance by the anchor . ' The parties still missing were 3 fr . William Lodge , who was steering ; Mr . George Packer , and Mr . Bick , who was a widower , and has left two children . Mr . Jeffries has also left a widow and three children to deplore their loss . On Monday evening J . B . Grindon , Esq ., coroner for the City of Bristol , within whose jurisdiction the river lies , held an inquest on the remains at the Royal Tavern , Bathurst Basin Evidence corroborating the above statement having been given , the jury returned a xerdict—* ¦ * That the deceased was accidentally drowned . "

      Loss of Life . —XoiirxoHAii . —On Sunday night , and during the whole of Monday , this town and neighbourhood have been visited by tremendous storms of wind and rain , and numerous accidents have occurred . - The tempest commenced at twelve o ' clock on Sunday night , at which time the rain poured in torrents , the wind in the meantime blowing a perfect hurricane . At one o ' clock this morning an immense mass of rock was forced down , carrying with it about eight yards of a wall situate in Back-lane , approximating to the back premises of a jmuiber of occupied houses . Shortly before one o'clock- this afternoon , -whilst a number of people were standing in the market-place , looking at the exterior of Womb well ' s menagerie , a tall chimnev

      at the tog of the hoase occupied by Messrs . flopkinson and welsh , grocers j was" blown down , and in falling carried along with it the greater portion of the roof , the front cornice , and a large quantity of lead , together weighing from two to three tons , which , with scarcely a moment ' s warning , fell heavily upon" the pavement , knocking several people down , and very narrowly missing ' the roofs' of Mr fvbmbwell ' s caravans . Upwards of a dozen persons were buried in the ruins . At the time of the accident a servant girl of Mr . Hopkinson ' s looked out of one of the top story windows at the crowd beneath , her attention being arrested by the awful noise made by the falling of the bricks and slates . She was immediately cautioned by the crowd to

      fiee from the spot , and -was fortunately in time , as the upper part of the bonse fell in in a few moments . Li the meantime a number of persons hastened to the assistance of those who had heen hurled in the rubbish . A servant and child belonging to Mr . Unthank , surgeon , were the first ex iricated . The former was discovered to be severely injured , but strange to say the infant ' escaped unhurt , having been shielded by the girl ' s clothes . In a shore time , a boy , named William Morrell , who had been seen a moment before the accident occurred standing with his father and brother , near the spot , was dug out of the ruins quite dead . The fether and brother were very little injured . How they escaped is almost maraculons , as they were

      totally encircled with stones , tiles , < fcc . Further search was made , and a woman named Ellis , ' a resident of Derby , who came from that town iri the morninsr to Nottingham Goose Pair , - was taken Out of the rains shockingly hurt . Upon examination by the surgeon it was discovered that the injuries she had ; received were for the most part on the head , and although perhaps not so serious as to cause immediate apprehension of her death , still it is impossible to say at present how the contusions may terminate . Several other persons were then extricated from the ruins slightly injured . A man named Ingle Morris , a woolstapler , of Cotgrave , a village seven miles from the town , was taken out much injured , and with his shoulder fractured . A number of other persons

      were also much injured . The whole of the unfortunates were immediately conveyed to the General Hospital , and are under the care of the house surgeon . In the iharke £ place business is quite at a stand , though it is fair day : On Tuesday afternoon an inquest was held at the General Hospital , near Nottingham , upon the body of "William Morrell . . Several witnesses were examined ,- who deposed to the circumstances attending the lamentable occurrence . The jury returned the following verdict : — "That the deceased died from injuries received by the fall ef a chimney and part of the roof of a house in the market-place , such fall being occasioned by a high wind . " The woman from Derby , Mary Dfjr , twenty-four years of age , factory-worker , lies in a very precarious ' state , no hope being - chicrcauied of her ultimate recovery . Very many other accidents

      have occurred . Liverpool . —On Sunday night the wind , which had been comparatively light , increased until it blew fresh from the westward , accompanied by heavy rains . Subsequently , a complete gale set in , the gusts of which were" frequent and powerful , and roared and rattled with great violence over the more exposed and elevated parts of the town . So far as we can learn , however , no accidents have occurred . ashore , though afloat , we learn by the marine telegraph , several disasters have ensued . A brigaritine drove ashore on Crosby Point , and an empty boat was cast ashore at Southport . Shortly after nine o ' clock also a schooner ¦ got upon the 2 Jorth' Bank , near So . 9 , per chart .

      Subsequently she drifted off into the vicinity of 2 fo . 47 per chart , hut a steanvtng was near her . Her crew abandoned her in their own boat at half-past nine o clock . The latest telegraphic report mentions the capsising of a schooner , the crew of which had not been seen ; and the dismasting of a large ship . The Providence , for Africa , ran ashore on Burbo , arid out of a' crew of thirtysix there were only thirteen saved . We have a report of a schooner which was driven early upon the 2 fortb Bank , her crew raking to their boats , at 7 . 30 a . m ., and the schooner being last seen drifting , with a steam-tug near her . A schooner , the Alice ,

      of Runcorn , sunk in Holyhead Bay , hear Point 312 . Crew saved by the life'boat . The Selina Lucife , schooner , wrecked on Monday morning , near Point 305 . Crew saved . The Industry , flat , of Liverpool , laden with slate , sunk iri Llandudno Bay , on Monday morning . Crew saved . A flat was driven on shore near 159 , at 9 a . m . A sloop was capsized at 2 fo . 143 , at 9 . 45 a . m . Crew not heard of . A flat ¦ was sunk , and another driven on shore at Hoylake , at twelve at noon , a large vessel "was dismasted , with signals of distress nyinff , near Point 106 , at 12 . 30 p . m . A schooner was " aground on the high bank at Point Chart , X 6 . 9 , at 45 . 9 a . m .

      Leeds . —On Monday lewis was visited by a severe gale of wind , which did considerable damage . A new chimney , just erected at a cost of several hundred pounds , on the chemical works of Messrs . Armitage and Co ., near the side of the river Aire "was blown down into the water . A new cottage house , erected in Dewsbury-road , was also levelled with the ground ; and many trees in the suburbs were snapped in two , or torn up by the roots . For--tunately none of these casualties have been attended ; with"iQ 5 3 of Hfe , Dover . —Destrcctios of the Works at the Bakboub or Kesuge . —Tuesday Sight . —The storm which raged throughout nearly the whole of England on Sunday last , was felt most intensely at

      Dover . During the whole of Sunday afternoon V heavy gale prevailed from the south ; west , and rose to a hurricane about midnight . ' About one o ' clock on Monday morning the sea rose to an extreme height , and completely flooded quays and promenades . The works which werebeingcartiedon for the construction of the Harbour of Refuge were completely , destroyed . Enormous piles , eighteen inches square , were snapped asunder , and everything upon them overthrown . Three huge diving hells , which were used in the construction of the "works , were carried away into the sea . At daybreak the harbour was strewn with the fragments of the machinery , timber , < fcc , and the whole appeared a perfect wreck . The works have heen en-

      tirely suspended , ana gfnee the catastro phe "" the exertions of the men have beeQ devoted to the recovery of the materials . Up to Tuesday night ; however , they had only succeeded in finding one of the diving bells . It ia estim ated thattha damage done will amount to many thousandipounds { probably upwards of £ 10 , 000 ); as besides the materials , the air pumps , traversers , cranes , and other machinery , have all heen injured or lost . ¦ The CHANXKi ,. ~ In the vicinity of the Downs , throughout the whole of Sunday night , the gale was very alarming . It continued till an advanced hour on Monday , causing much damage to the fleet of vessels usually riding about this part ot the

      Channel . - The Isabella , from London , bound to Ulver stohe , had one of the , crew blown overboard , and the poor fellow perished . In the course of the night the Freetrader , bound to Coquimbo , came in collision nearBeachy with the Avenger , a brigantine , bound to London . Mr . Pitts , the master of the latter vessel , and five or six of his crew , succeeded getting on board the Freetrader , but the remainder , six it is thought , were driven away with their vessel by tho gale , and eventually were lost sight of . About midnight on Sunday a melancholy wreck took place near the prominent neck , of land known as Dungeness . A Ducth galliot , called the Juffrow Jantze , laden with a cargo of irori , and bound to Frederikswark , in Norway , from Cardiff ,

      was driven ashore in the East Bay . The poor creatures on board had not the least opportunity of saving themselves , and neither could any assistance be afforded them from the land . In a very short time the vessel , with all on board , with the " exception of one man , who miraculously enough managed , to battle his way through the surf , was lost . Ibelasb . —From the following paragraph appended to a letter in the Freeman ' s Journal , -it appears that the storm of Sunday night raged withstill greater violence in the west ot Ireland than in Dnblin : — " At eleven o ' clock last Jiight this town was visited by a violent gale , which continued to blow with almost terrific fury until past : three

      o'clock this morning , when it abated , and was succeeded by heavy showers of rain . ' Such was the force of the storm , that several full-grown ' trees , growing in some small islands in the river Suck , close by the town , were torn np by the roots , arid laid prostrate . Several houses in the town suffered rather severe damage in thebreakage of glass arid dislodging of slate ' s and chimney-tops , but' ho personal accident occurred . At Lancaster , about a mile from this place , on the Roscommon side , a rather considerable number of fine old trees were blown down . ' The weather in the course of the morning became perfectly calm , and a- fine day ensued . "

      The Frimley Murder. Mrs. Holiest Has Bee...

      THE FRIMLEY MURDER . Mrs . Holiest has been in a state of the deepest mental distress ever since the occurrence . Until Friday night she could not be prevailed upon either to undress or go to bed . She sat in a state of distraction in . an arm-chair , attended constantly by her friends . The moment that exhausted nature so far overcame her that she began to slumber , a little , she started up in a state of frenzy , the horrors of the dreadful tragedy which she had witnessed , and in which she had performed so painful a part , rising up in all . their terrible vividness before her eyes . Some important facts which transpired-at the brief examination of the prisoners at Guildford , on Friday , have not been . made public . One of the prisoners ( Smith ) in attempting to account for the

      way in which he , was engaged on the night of the murder , stated ; that he had gone to the Surrey Theatre at half-price , and spent three hours there . The question was put to the prisoner , when he represented himself as having gone to the theatre at half-price , what he paid as half-price . ' Uis answer was " Threepence . " Neither at the Surrey nor any other of the London theatres is there" any such half-price' as threepence ; consequently he must have been stating what was untrue . When asked what piece was played when he was in the theatre , he was unable' to tell . It is said that ample evidence will be produced at the proper time to show that-there'is hot a word of truth in what either of

      theprisbriers ' stated respecting the locality in which they were ; and how employed on the night of the murder . It is worthy of remark that the residence of the late reverend gentleman is close to the spot at which the recent prize fight , which ended in the death of Griffiths , took place . It can be satisfactorily proved that the prisoners were present at the prize fight in ' question , and that they have ; on various other recent occasions , been seen in the neighbourhood . It is also said that they were , for the purpose , it is presumed , of creating confusion as to identity , in the practice of wearing in rotation the green-coloured cap , which was found on one of them "when taken into custody .

      Foxeral op the Rev . Mh . Hollest . —The funeral took place on Monday morning . The funeral procession left the vicarage at five minutes after eleven o ' clock ^ preceded by the officiating clergyman , the Rev . J . Clayton ^ rectorofFarnborougb , in hisclerical robes . The medical attendants of the deceased , Mr . Clark of Farriham , and Mr . Davies . ' of York Town , came next , and were succeeded by three domestic servants . The coffin containing the remains of tlie deceased , borne by twelve respectable tradesmen of the village of Frimley , followed , and then came the ' mouruers , of whom there were but four , vizi , the two youthful sons of the deceased and his two brothers , Mr ; Lee 'Williams and- "Mr . "William Holiest . About fifty boys and girls belonging to , the ' village ' school wa & edbehind the inourners , arid the processiori closed with a very numerous assembly of the resident inhabitants and villagers of the district . The coffin was conveyed into Trimley

      church , and the appointed portion of the'funeral service having been read , ' it was'taken" into the church-yard , arid' deposited in the family vanlt . Nothing of importance calculated to lead to the . detection of ' theassassinsi has been discovered up to the present time . Mr . Sergeant Kendal , of the London detective force , ' is-actively engaged in investigating the affair on the spot and' the local superintendents of' the Guildford and" Godalming police , Mr . Hollington and Mr . Biddlecombe , have not relaxed in their exertions . On Sunday afternoon the cainlet cloak belonging to the deceased gentlemen , which was among the articles stolen , was found in-a ditch near-the spot where the marks and the remains of bread and meat were discovered . Unfortunately this discovery gives no cine to what has become of the reiriainirig portion of the property , npon the finding of which there is toomuch reason to fear the conviction of the assassins depends .

      THE IXQCEST . On Tuesday afternoon , at two o ' clock , Mr . C . J . Woods , Coroner for the Eastern Division of Surrey , and the jury impanelled for the purpose of inquiring into the circumstances attending the murder of the Rev . George Edward . Holiest on the night of the 27 th ult ., re-asseinbled at the White Hart Inn in the village of Frimley , ~ pursuant to adjournment from Tuesday last ; for the purpose of further prosecuting the investigation . The interest excited by the proceedings had in no degree abated , and before the coroner arrived the room in which the inquiry took place was crowded by persons desirous to hear what further evidence would be adduced . y The Coroner , said , it would be fresh in the

      recollectiori of the jury that at the inquest held on Tuesday last they had laid before them some preliminary evidence attaching suspicion to three persons—or rather , he should say , to two persons ^ -already in custody . Since then active inquiries had been set on foot , and a minute search has , been made by the police officers , and other additional . evidence , had : been procured . There was also a fourthpersonhow ' in custody , against whom strong circumstances ' of suspicion had been discovered to exist . Under the ' present circumstances of the case , as there w-ould pot , he feared , be sufficient evidence for them to return a verdict of wilful murder against any party , he should propose to take the evidence of one or two police officers who had the case in hand , after

      receiving which he would suggest that they should adjourn to a future day . Mr . TYitUAM Heskt Biddi . ecombe said , I am superintendent bf the Godalming police . On Saturday , the 28 th ult ., I was directed by the magistrates to come over to Frimley . I arrived here about five o'clock on Saturday evening . I examined the house of the Rev . George Edward Holiest , and found that an entrance had been effected by breaking a" pane of glass in the scullery window ,: and afterwards cutting away an iron bar . I found two holes tad been bored with a cenirebit in the scullery dobr ' , directly opposite a bolt which had been forced ; back witha crooked instrument , and ari entrance thus obtained to the kitchen . In the kitchen . I found two

      cupboards had been broken open . I have compared a screwdriver which I received from ' the deceased ' s man servant , Richard Gyles , with' the marks' on the = e cupboards , and have no doubt they were made with that instrument . I found one" of the double doors leading from the kitchen to the dining-room had been forced , as also a door leading from the dining-room to the front passage . There were marks of the same screwdriver on these doors . Upon reaching the gravel path which encudes the lawn outside the front door , about two yards , from the threshold , I saw two foot marks . They . were the marks of two right feet without shoesor stockings . About ' thirty-seve ' n yards from these mar & s , in the the lawnthere

      direction bf the front gate , and upon , is a cypress tree , under which I observed traces of some persons having been standing . About eight or ten yards froin " this place there was an impression of a' man's heel having slipped . There was also close to the spot the impression of a man ' s army as if some person had fallen down on the gravel . Under the cypress tree , where there were marks of persons trampling , I picked up a small piece of blue worsted which * " ! now produce ( the piece of worsted which seemed to have formed part of a stocking , was here produced . ) This will have to be referred to hereafter . I received from Richard Gyles the screwdriver before alluded to , a cotton handkerchief , and part of an old worsted stocking , I received also

      from Ellen Valler , one of the ^ eceased ' s female ser « yants ; softie paper supposed ' to hav ' e-heen . used as waddinghy the , assassins . ' ( Several small pieces' of half burnt ' paper ; which smelt strongly bf gunpowder , ' were here '' produced )/ 'From inquiries I made my suspicions fell upon three , men who have since been , taken into custody ; their names are Levi Har-i wood ) James'Burbage ,. callinghifnself James Jones and ' . 'Hiram Trbwer , ; calling himself Hiram Smith ; I have since measured' the feet' of Harwood arid Trower . I find . that Trower ' s right foot is 91 uu long , by . 3 | in wide , arid Harwooii ' s 9 | iri . long , by 3 } in wide . . These , dimensions agree as . nearly as possible' with the marks on the gravel walk in front of ' the house . T should add' that the greatitoe of Harwood ' s fight foot is much cut , as if'ithad con-. e in contact with a flint or Other hard substance . On his stocking there was also found a quantity of blood .

      Eixbn Vallkh , one of the women servants of the deceased , was next' examined . —She wore deep inourning , and appeared much ' affected . ' On being sworn she said , " she was a single , wpriian , ' and had been' in the service of the late Mr . Holiest for ten years . She had a fellow servant named Elizabeth Tanrier , and another , ; a man '' servant , ' . ; named Richard Gyles . All of them slept at the top of the house . On the night of the 27 th of September , she went to bed about ten minutes ; to eleven o ' clock . Elizabeth Tanner and the man servant had gone to bed previously . Witness saw all the door fastened about ten o ' clock , and went up stairs with her riiistress at the , time mentioned . Witness was last in the scullery about ten o ! cloek .

      Her fellow servant fastened the door of the scullery , and witness fastened the other doors .: Witness's bedroom window was on one side of the house and looked up Trimley Grove . Witness was disturbed about three o ' clock on Saturday morning by the firing of a gun and screaming . The screaming and the report of the guh . came from the part of the house where her master arid mistress slept .. Witness immediately got ' out of bed and came down stairs . with her fellow servant . ' At the bottom ' of the staircase they rriet the man servant . He ^ said their ' master was shot . "She went to the door on the landing to get to her mistress , and found it bolted . Witness Knocked , arid it was presently opened by Mr . or Mrs . Holiest . They were

      both standing together . Witness saw blood on her roaster ' s night dress , and he told her that he had been shot as he was stooping to pick up the poker . Witness afterwards searched underline' beds arid about the house to see if any of the thieves remained concealed . — -The Coroner : Did you find anything " about the house ? Witness : The next morning I found' in the parlour some small pieces of green baize . - I think there were about'five small round pieces . I also found a piece of black silk very greasy , as if . a cradle'had been foiled up in it '; and in the kitchen I picked up an old cotton ' handkerchief . —The Coroner : "Did you find any pieces of paper in your master's bedroom?—Witness : I did ; Sir , near the bed on my master ' s' side . " I also

      found last Friday a small copper ' guri cap . \ It had been exploded . I handed it to Mr . William Holiest . The ' CoRONER here' said , he thought it would bo absolutel y necessary to adjourn the inquiry , and after a short discussiori with the jury ; with closed doors , it was intimated that the proceedings had been formally adjourned to the 22 rid iri ' sL ' : " . ' , " We have been informed that in the chain of evidence accumulating against the parties in custb'dy for this atrocious cririie , not the . least important will be' the'iricident that a token ,. ' which' might be mistaken for a' penny , has 'been found on one of therii , and can be identified by , Mrs . Holiest as having been given to her the day before by the village , schoolmistress .

      The Late Double Murders At Langharne, So...

      THE LATE DOUBLE MURDERS AT LANGHARNE , SOUTH , WALES . The proceedings at the adjourned inquest on the body of the late Mrs : Severne , of Brixton , near Langharne , ( of whose death , under sudden and suspicious circumstances , a notice has already , appeared ) , although uot sufficiently complete to induce the jury to . close their inquiry , have nevertheless tended , to establish the fact that the death of the deceased was caused ¦ by the administration of arsenic , and to strengthen the suspicion previously entertained , that ; the poison ; was . administered by her own cook , Elizabeth Gibbs . The examinations of the different witnesses were extended over a very protracted : period , but the substance will be found in the following summary . ' . Mr . HrjoniiB , surgeon , of Carmarthen , deposed to having assisted in making the post mortem examination . The stomach exhibited marks of severe

      inflammation , particularly at , the great curvature . On the inner coat of the , stomach there was a brownish sediment deposited . There were also traces of inflammation at the rectum , but the small intestines were not examined , as they were passed unopened to Mr . Herapatb . Judging from what he had seen and knew of the case , witness ascribed the death to the administration of arsenic . T . Sevebse , Esq ., the husband of the deceased , who was very much affected at points ofhis exami ; nation , gave very lengthened testimony . Ho deposed that his lady had been subject to attacks of indisposition , which were understood to be bilious attacks . Her deathtookplaceon Sunday , the 2 lst of July . On Friday and Saturday , the 19 th and

      20 th of thatinonth , she complained of being unwell , and partook of some rabbit broth . She was very weak and tired . : Witness asked her to walk with him across the garden , but she declined , and went to bed ., She remained in bed on the Saturday . On Sunday morning she . appeared tolerably well , arid proposed to go to church with witness , but . he told her , as she had been so unwell the previous day , she had better nurse herself alittle , and go to church in the afternoon . Witness could not say positively , but h ; : d no doubt that the broth she partook of was prepared by Elizabeth Gibbs , thecooL Previously

      to going to church , witness directed that a cup of tea should be taken to Mrs . Severne ; and it was made in the kitchen and sent up ; in , the regular course of the house it should have been made by the cook . When he went to church he left no servant at home but Elizabeth Gibbs , and an old man nained Williams , who was working about the place . On his return home he' found his'lady much worse , and very sick and bad . Ho asked her " whether she bad been eating , fruit or . any thing ' that disagreed with her , as fruit always did . 'She replied that she had taken nothing but a little broth and some gruel . Witness" considered- that' at' this tithe ' there was

      nothing serious the matter with her , arid that she was only sufferirig from a'bilious attack ; The ' cook , Elizabeth Gibbs , was'in attendance on her . Witness found , her in the room when he went ' up stairs , arid he afterwards saw 'her go op arid down several times ' . ' She was rip stairs during the ' greater part of the'afterhbbn . '' ; Mrs . Severne seerhed very ill , arid Gibbs made her some tea arid g ave it to her . - She was afterwards very sick and vomited ; The vomit was ofayelldwishcolbur ; ' Her bowels were also very much disordered ; ' '• She Was sick several times , and complained ' of violent pains' in her stomach and head . ' Towards five or six o'clock she seemed very illand her hands arid "feet grew very cold . Some castor oil had'been obtained for her , but she would not ' take'it . She said her sight had got dim , she

      frothed at the iriouth , and her face began to assume a'bluish colour . ' Witness was much alarmed . 'He had previously sent a boy for the family ' medical attendant , Mr . Hamilton of Langharne , ' a ' nd as that gentleman had not arrived , he himself mounted his horse and rode off for him so as to hasten his coming . '' Mrs . Severne died . the same night . There had been no ; arsenic used ' about tho farm for two months ' previouslyywheri witness used some for the purpdse'bf poisoning rats ' . It was yellow arsenic . ' Did riot . ' think' that' the whole of it was used , , and had ' assisted in a , 'diligent search'for the remains of tKe packet , but could not' find it : '; One of the servants found some sugar of lead'iri the storeroom . - Witness could riot tell how it came there , arid was riot aware of any haying becriused in the house . ' ' ' ¦ '

      Maboarej Lewis , an old widow woman , who bad been in the habit of wrirkihg occasionally at Mr . Several ' s house , and going of errands for the servants , was next called . She was asked whether she ' had not purchased some arsenic for tho avowed purpo so of destroying rats , at the shop of a druggist named Davis ; but' she denied , in tho most positive terms , that she had ever'doneso , or that lier house was troubled with ' rats . r Mrs . i MARi DaVies , -wife of the druggist , on being confronted with' her , gave a ' very different statement ' . She deposed that in the spring ; she thought about March ; but she was sure it was not later than April , the old woriiari' Lewis came to her shop rind bought soriie arsenicwhich she said- she wanted to

      , poison rats . Witriess ' had a distinct ' recollection of the circumstance . i The old woman , upon being recalled , repeated her denial of the fact in equally positive terms ; and the discrepancy between these two ' witnesses caused H " considerable sensation among the persons by whorii the inquest room was crowded . ' ' John Lewis ; son of Margaret Lewis , was called , but showed an evident disinclination to answer : the questions put to him . It was , however , OllCltOU from him that Elizabeth Gibbs ' , tho cook , would very often come to his mother ' s house after six o ' clock in the evening , ' when she usually staid about'ten roinutes .- : ; : ' .

      Lmh, Murder Of A Toll-Bar Keeper At Hebd...

      lMH , MURDER OF A TOLL-BAR KEEPER AT HEBDBN-BR 1 DGE . I , ! 16 adjourned inquest to inquire into the cause of tne death of James Smith , toll-keeper , ' who is supposed to hay © been murdered in his bed , on the morning of the 28 th - September , was resumed on Monday morning . Tho inquiry took place in the Mytholm school-room , before George Dyson , Esq ., coroner . The circumstances of the finding of tho bo dy of the unfortunate'man was given in this journal last week , when it was stated that two ' men named Halliwell and Green were in custody . Halliwell bad been discharged on Tuesday , and Green only was brought before the coroner on Monday . Haulw ©]] had been discharged by the magistrates because there was no evidence against him , but there was the curious circumstance that he had

      been summoned by Smith , ' ¦ the murdered man ' , for non-payment of toll , and having been convicted in the highest penalty has appealed' to the Leeds sessions , which appeal is to com o on this week . It was also rumoured that he bad used this remarkakle expression to one of his sureties the day before the murder , and when he was going out to Burnlev , " If anything happens to Smith let me know by the first post . " - ,,,-.-. ¦ ...,... _ . The Coroner said he understood that Mr . Rhodes had an important communication to make , which he thought mighThiost properly be made at that stage of the proceedings / ; The Rev . J . A ' . Rhodes , a ' county ' magistrate , then said , that believing it' to be every man ' s duty to throw what light he could upon this deplorable

      case , though it was true that he had arrived latej arid had had little opportunity to investigate the case as he could have wished ,-yet he had , after inquiry , reduced the following observations'to writing : — " Upon consideration of the statement relative to this case in the Halifax Guardian of the 5 th Oct ., I come to the following conclusions : —1 That Halliwell had an object in disposing of this man ' s evidence , ' and committed or procured the murderer . —2 . That it is probable that'there was more than one person . in the actual perpetration of it , as so much violence would hardly be committed by one individual ; unaided b y some one to watch for him . —3 . That the rhan who actually committed the murder was himself wounded in the left hand ,

      iind probably in the left thumb . —4 . That he obtained access by the open door whilst Smith was shutting the gate , and concealed himself until Smith got to bed ; where the murder was perpetrated . —5 . That whoever has committed the murder , has tho sleeve of his ' coat on his right arm steeped in blood . That his left hand and probably his left thumb was wounded , appears by the numerous places still stained with blood , yet to be seen , stained by , a bleeding hand , and in the left hand by a thumb probably wounded in the inner side , of the joint . If tho place washed away exhibited the same appearance as this which remains , the fact would be conclusive . The mark on tho outer door shows the bloody stain of a wet elbow , with the folds of the sleeve strongly depicted , aiid probably of a , man below the middle size or else of one stooping . I

      should lean to the former opinion . These aro , the only indications T could find—The thumb mark in the cupbourd in tho north-west corner , the drops in'the drawer in the south-west corner , and , the mark on the outer door : Very lamentably and very blameably , though very naturally , the rest were all obliterated and ' gone . . The fact of Halliwell being at Burnley in the evening ; arid setting off to Colne early next morning , is not' at all inconsistent with his being present and aiding , as there was time enough in tho space of the night to bo here and execute the horrid deed , and return to show himself at a distance . I know nothing of Halliwell , and only draw these inferences from what I have seen in the newspaper . The blood has flowed too freely on the places touched to lead me to believe that it was the blood of the deceased . "

      Some evidence' was being gone into , proving merely tho fact of tho body having ^ been found , when the Rev . J . A . Rhodes , addressing the coroner , said he was desirous to know whether that gentleman was inclined to prosecute the view which he ( Mr . ' -Rhodes ) had taken in the matter . If so , immediate steps must bo taken . If not he { Mr . Rhodes ) wished to do so himself , and he was losing the day in listening so long to what he might call " a picture of the place . " It was possible that the prisoner might not be the man who committed the deed ;; and be thought it possible they might find the man . It was then agreed that the proceedings should bo for a short time suspended , while Mr . Rhodes and some other magistrates went to the

      house of- Halliwell to make investigations there . Shortly after the magistrates had gone out for this purpose , one of the jury requested liberty to gq ' out for two men , who' had seen the prisoner Green near theplace early on the-Saturday- morning .: In a short'time the juryman returned with two men , who deposed to seeing the prisoner near the toll-bar ' half-past five o'clock on ' Saturday morning . A ' woman , who lives near Green ' s house , in Hoptonstall , subsequently stated that she had heard- him ; coine home about twelve o ' clock oh Friday : night ; and Susy Hodgson ; who saw ; him .: at'Smith ' s house shortly after the murder , said she heard him say at that time , " Well , I was here an hour or two last night with Jimmy . I left about twelve o ' clock , when Holt's cart came . " The . mon who ; saw him

      at half-past five said he had on a white smock : ; and the woman who saw him at six said he wore a blue sriioek . —Ori ' re-examinrition , the ' men could not say positively that it was a smock he wore . '

      ; . : ;;:Wilp Sports;In;Algeria. ;'; R M...

      ; : ;; : wiLp sports ; in ; algeria . ; ' ; r M . Jules Gerard , the well-known lion kille T ^ Of Algeria ; has just sent the following account of a recant , exploit to the editor " of the Journal des Chasseurs ; ° ^ ' ' ; ¦ " ' ¦ " > " I knew of a large old lion in the Smauls country and betook myself in that'direction .- On arriving I heard that he : was iri the Boriitrif , near Batnah . My tent wasriptye ' t ^^ pitch ' ed ' afithtffo ' ot of the mountain when I learned ho-was at the Pcd-Jorig , where , on my arrival , I found ho had gained tho Aures . After travelling 100 leagues , in ten days , in the track of my brute without catching a glimpse of anything but his footprints ,. I was gratified on- ' the night of the 22 nd ofjAugust with the sound ' of my lord ' s voice . I had established mv tent in the vallev of

      Ousten . As there is only one path , across this thickly covered valley I found it an easy task to discover his track , and follow it / to hia lair . . At six o ' clock in the evening I aliglito'd upon a hillock , commanding a prospect of tho country around . 1 was accompanied by a native of the country . and my spahi , one carrying my . carbine , the other . my old gun . As I had anticipated , the lion roared under cover at dawn of day ; but instead : of advancing towards me , he started off in a westerly direction at such a pace that it was impossible for mo to come up with him . I retraced my steps at midnight , and took up my quarters at the foot of a tree upon the path which the lion had taken . Tho country about

      this spot was cleared and cultivated . Tho noon being favourable , the approach of anything could bo descried in every direction . I installed myself and waited . Weary after a ride of several hours over a very irregular country , and not expecting any chance that night , 1 enjoined my spahi to keep a good watch , and lay down . I was just about to fall asleep when I felt a gentle pull at my burnous . On getting up I was able , to make out two lions , sitting one beside the other ; about 100 paces off , and exactly on tho path in which I had taken up my position . At . first I thought we had been perceived , and prepared to make the best of this discovery . The moon shed a light upon the entire ground which the lions would have to cross in order to reach the

      tree , clo .-o to which all within a circumference of ten paces was completely dark , both , on account of the thickness of the tree and tho shadow cast by the foliage . My spahi , like me , was in range of the shadow , while the ' Arab-lay snoring ten paces off in the full light of the moon . There was no doubting the fact—it was this man who attracted the attention of the lions . I expressly , forbade the spahi ' to wake up the Arab , as I was persuaded that when the action was over he would be proud of having served as a bait even without knowing it . I then prepared-my arms and placed them against tho tree and got up , in order the better to observe the movements of the enemy . They were not loss than half an hour traversing a distance of 100 metres . Although the ground was open , I could only see them

      when they raised their heads to make sure that the Arab : was still there . They took advantage ef every stono , and every tuft of grass to render themselves almost invisible ; at last the boldest of them came upcrouching on his belly to within ten paces of me , and fifteen of the Arab . His eye was fixed on . the latter , and with such an expression that I , was afraid I had waited too long . ¦ The second , who had stayed a few paces behind , came and placed himself on a level with andaboutfour or five paces from the first . I then saw for the first time they were both full grown lionesses . I took aim at the first , and she came rolling and roaring down to the foot of the tree . Tho Arab was scarcely awakened when a second ball stretched tho animal dead upon the spot . The first bullet went in at the muzzle and came out

      at the tail ; the second had gone through the heart . After making sure that my men were all right , I looked out for the second lioness . She was standing tip within fifteen paces / looking atwliat was going on around her . I took my gun and levelled it at her . She squatted down . When I fired she fell down roaring ; and disappeared in a field of maize on tho edge of the road . On approaching I found by her moaning that she was still alive , and did not venture at night into the thick plantation which sheltered her . As soon as it was day I went to the spot where she had fallen , and all I found were blood marks marking her track in the direction of the wood . After sending tho dead lioness to the neighbouring garrison , who celebrated its arrival by

      a banquet , I returned to my post of the previous nicht . A little after sunset the lion roared for the first time , but instead of leaving his lair he remained there all night roaring like a madman . Convinced tliat the wounded lioness was there , I sent on the morning of tho 24 th two Arabs to explore the cover . Thoy returned without daring' to approach it .- On the night of the 24 th there was the same roaring and complaining of the lion on the mountain and under cover . On the 25 th , at five in the evening , I had a young goat muzzled , and proceeded with it . to the mountain ; The lair was exceedingly difficult of access . Nevertheless I succeeded at last by crawling now on my hands and now on my belly in reaching it . Having discovered certain indications of the presence of the inhabitants of this

      locality , I had tho goat unmuzzled andtied to a tree . Then followed the most comical panic on the part of the Arabs , who weve carrying my arms . . Seeing themselves in the middle of the lion ' s lair , whom they could distinctly smell , and hearing the horrified goat calling , them with all its might , was . a po sitionperfectly intolerable to them .- After consulting together ? asto . whether it were better , to climb up a tree or clambor on a rock , they asked my permissionito remain near the goat . .: ; - This iconfidence pleased mo , and obtained the privilege of a place by my side . I had not been there a quarter of aii hour when the lioness appeared : she found herself

      suddenly beside the goat , . and looked about' her with an air of astonishment . ' I fired , and she fell without a struggle ; The Arabs were already kissing my hands , and I myself believed her dead , when she got up again as though nothing was the matter , and showed us allher teeth . One of the Arabs who had run towards her was within six paces ' of her . On seeing , her get-up heclung to the lower branches of the tree to which the goat was tied'and disappeared like a squirrel . ' ¦ The lioness fell dead at the foot of the tree , a second bullet piercing her heart . The first had passed out of the nape of the ' neck without breaking the skull bone . " '

      Wbeok Op Thhbe Indiamen.—By The Arrival ...

      Wbeok op Thhbe Indiamen . —By the arrival of the overland mail from India on the 4 th instant , the underwriters at Llyoda' were put in' possession of information relative to the melancholy loss of three first-class ships employed in the East India trade , namely , the . Manchester , 600 tons ,:.: bound for London ';• . the ; Ariadne , 700 . tons ' , of Greenock , bound for Liverpool ; . and the Hereid , 700 tons , of London . That of the Ariadne created the deepest regret , tho intelligence leaving > very little doubt that all hands , together with ' som o passengers , met with a watery grave . The unfortunate ship , we are given , to understand , sailed , from Calcutta for England in the latter part of July , with a valuable freight on board . About three weeks afterwards , some vessels , bound to Calcutta , in passing near

      Palmyras Point , on the Indian coast , discovered a wreck , which , on examination , proved to be that of the Ariadne . No living creature , however , was to be seen on the wreck , or in any otker . place near it , and she was fast breaking up . Immediately on the melancholy news reaching Calcutta ,, the authorities despatched a government steamer to the . spot with instructions to ascertain , if possible ^ the fate of the crew .-. ; A few hours before the mail steamer started for England the steamer returned to Calcutta with intelligence confirming the loss of the ship and cargo , and that'great doubts existed regarding the fate of those belonging to tho ship . The chief mate of the Ariadne was picked up on a spar by the steamer off the coast , forty miles southward of the place where the ship > as lost : The poor fellow

      was in a shocking state of exhaustion . He had been twelve days exposed , subsisting entirely on some berries . As far as , could bo gleaned from him , it' appeared that tho master and crew had been carried out to sea on a raft in a gale of wind . The steamer went in search , and , after several days ' cruising , ro urned to Calcutta . It is reported there were from ; thirty to forty persons on tho raft , and from tho violent state of the weather when it was driven out to sea it is doubtful whether any of them survive . Still , hopes are entertained that thoy may have been picked up by some vessel . The ship and cargo are valued at £ 30 , 000 . The Manchester , Indijuiian , was ¦ wrecked on the - Sanger Islands on the Cth of August , a few days , sail from Calcutta . ' Several of her crew met with injury by the falling of her mainmast , after the ship struck , tut itU hands were fortunate enough to escape in

      tlie boats before the vessel broke up . It . ' is considered a very heavy loss . She was tho property of Messrs . Wade and Co ., merchants in the City , who are said to bo insured . Tho other unfortunate ship , the Nereid , foundered on the morning of the 9 th of July last , in lat . 3152 S . In a tremendous gale she encountered sonic days previous she sprung a leak , and eventually tho crew were compelled to take to the'boats , the ship going down headforemost within an ' hour afterwards . The gale had not abated when tlio boats loft , and it was with great exertions they were got to a vessel , the Emperor , from Calcutta , the master , of w bioh had hove his ship to and remained by from the previous night . They were taken on board arid received every kindness . The Nereid belonged to Messrs . Phillips and Co ., of the City ; The loss of the three , ships is calculated to exceed £ 100 , 000 . "'

      Dreadful Wounds in a Leo , but soijndiy cured bx Hoiloway ' s Ointment and fnxs . —Mr . Henry Gray , typographer , residing at . No . 0 , Temple-lnne , City , states that he suffered for a considerable time , the most excruciating pains from two deep wounds in his' legs , occasioned by an accident which he unfortunately met with ; and although he tried various lotions an 1 ointments , yet all wore found entirely useless . He was then recommended by a friend to use some of Holloway ' s Ointment and lHUs , which he did , and in six hours ho was greatly rulieved , and in about eight days the wounds were soundly healed .
