      the London Hospital with a compound fracture and dislocation of the tarsal br . nes of the foot . The man after considerable reluctance consented to amputation of the leg , provided the pain was in some way diminished . The vapour of ether was had recourse to , and applied in the presence of Dr . Pereira , and a numerous assembly of medical gentlemen . In five minutes the inhalation proved successful , and in less than another the leg was amputated by Mr . Adams , the patient during the time giving sly winks and facetious nods to those surrounding him . During the intervals of the inhalation his observations were of the most facetious character , forcing from the bystandfrs involuntary laughter , and converting that which to the poor fellow was a most tragical event

      into a sceno little short of a farce . Upon removing the ether hecalled out , " Hold hard there a bit , \ cfr » have another go at the grog , " which he dr ° w in with the greatest avidity . Not for one moment during the operation did he exhibit the slightest symptoms of pain , but , on the contrary , his countenance was expressive of the greatest hilarity ; nnd at the contusion of the operation , after the ctFects of the ether had passed olF , he could scarcely believe that his leg had been so painlessly removed . His ideas whilst under tiie influence of the vapour were s-imilar to those of a person enjoying a pleasant dream ; he had fancied himself walking in tiie streets of Cork , with his sweetheart , and to use his own expressions , " enjoying most pleasurable sensations . " lie slept well during the following night , and is in every respect progressing favourably .

      The Atrocious System op " Burking" Horses . — Without prejudicing the ease of the individual to whom the offence is imputed , of liavin * on the 4 tli in > t . wilfully deprived a horse of life at Hanningtield , with tho view of purchasing the . carcass , sufficient has been shown to convince a fast number of persons in the neighbourhood , that the system luis for some time been carried on in that part of the county . We are credibly informed that within a circle of about three miles from the residence of the party now h custody not fewer than tiventg horses , which were to all appearances in previous good health , have died within the last twelve months suddenly , post-mortem examination exhibiting no ostensible cause for their deaths . One of them was a fine animal , valued at forty guineas , belonging to Mr . Chaplin , of Marks Tay , who h « lds a farm also at llettendon . and which

      died about Christmas last under these ( before ) mysterious circumstances . ISor h as the system l > een confined to the barbarous destruction of that noble animal the horse ; a cow in the same vicinity , worth £ 18 , was not long since found dead , and no doubt is entertained , the recently made footmarks of persons beine evident around the carcass that it was suffocated in a similar manner . The discovery has excited the greatest sensation amongst the owners ot the animals , many of whom attended the examination , and watched the proceedings with a painful interest . It is imagined that the animals thus killed in fine condition have been taken to a more lucrative market than that offered by the kennel or the boiler , and it is even stated that joints have been salted down in firkins , and sold as foreign beef so imported . —Enexherald .

      WRECK OF THE STEAM SHIP SIRIl'S OFF CORK . — NINETEEN LIVES LO-T . We regret to announce that intelligence hag been received by the owners o ( this fine vessel of herhavin : stranded on the coast , in the ne . ghb < iurhoo 1 of Ballycotton . The commander of coast * uard at the ndjitcent station despatched at the hour of seven uVlock or Saturday morning a hurried note to the Doctors of the Cork Steam Ship Company , stating that Hie Sirius wa 6 ashore about half a mile tothewest of the Bull ) cotton station ; that n portion of the crew were diseer . i-le mi board the venscl , and other * on a detached ruck close by , and recommending , for the purpose of pi oteotion to the property , that a military force should be at once 6 entto the spot . The Siriut i * a splendid vessel of 700 torn , and 320 horse powe--, and was the first steamer that made a voyage across the Atlantic . She was timb-. rbuilt . LATEST PARTICCLAIU . Sout&em Importer Office , Saturday Nuht .

      In addition to the foregoing outline , which app .-ared in the first edition , we have now the inc lsnehol y duty of recording the loss of human life and property to a vast amount , by tiie shipwreck of this fine vessel . No accounts from the scene of the disaster were received at Cork subsequent to those we have alr . ady published , unt ] half , past ei « Wt o ' clock this evenin . ' , when it was umler tood that souu'of the passengers had arrived in town by the Walerford mail cuach , and by other conveyances . Our reporter at once called upon thun at the Imperial Hotel , und found there a gentlemen from the Steam Company ' s Office , Mr . Qninhn , to both of whom the following particulars were kindly communieatid by Captain Gaynor , barr . ick-ma 3 ter of Butterant , who was one of the passengers on board : — .

      Between three and four o'clock this morning , the vessel , having made an excellent passage from Dublin to the offing of Cork H . irbour , struck , in a dense fog , on a reef of rocks in Billyeotton Bay , and instantly a scene of consternation not to be described pre vailed among the passengers . Captain Uoffett , the commander , then deemed it advisable to back the ship off the reef , and by much exertion with the engines and otherwise , succeeded in doing « o ; but they were only a wry short time clear of the rocks whin it became evident the vessel would not much limger remain afloat , as she was making water fast , and had received serious inj iries in Uvv bottom and sides . She was accordingly again turned inwards the land , and very soon after began to strike mi a ledge called Smith ' s R-ickn , about half a mile to the west of BaKycottou , with the certainty of going to pieces in a tew hours .

      The totnl loss of the vessel being thus inevitable , the attention of all on board was directed to the preservation of the crtw and passengers ; am ! amid 6 t the confusion ami alarm that prevailed , the Jifc . b . iat , which is usually carried owr the paddle-box , was attached to the davits , and lowered , though , unf irtumitrly , on the wrong side of the Bhip . This boat , we understand , was not equal to uccomodate more than eight , but immediatily she was launched , twenty crowded into her , principally deck passengers , und before 'he was well clear of the steamer , melancholy to relate , 6 he was ( "vamped , and all in her met a watery grave snve Caps . Arcby Cameron , of the Prince ( river steamer ) who w . is a passenger from Dub . lin in the veuel . Uetainim ; his presence of mind he managed to keep himself afloat , and ura ^ ped a rope , by means of which he was hauled on board .

      Meanwhile the steamer continm d to thump heavily on the rocks , while the screams of alarm , from the nft ' rigiited passengers , and the heavy surf breaking on her sides , and on the deck , rendered the scene one of awful d mger and intense anxiety . Soon after the coast guard boat from Hullycotton station , under command of Mr . Coghlan , the chief officer , came alongside , nnd the ship ' s boats having by this time been also launched , the remaining passengers were got into them , and safely landed , though with the loss of evrry portion of tin ir luggage , Ac . We are sorry to learn that the country people in that wild and wretched locality , availrd themselves of the melancholy occasion to carry oil tverthiiig they could lav

      their hands on . Every article that was washed ashore before the assistance of military it police arrived was instantly carried of by the ptople , who continued to assemble in large numbers . A portion ofthe cabin plate and other portable articles of value were brought on satire in one ot' the boats , but soon became the booty of the country people , as did also such personal luggage belonging to the passengers as they contrived to save from the wrick . One gentleman showed us his carpet bag , ripped open with a knife , auJ havin * been pluudered of all its contents , it was thrown on the beach as useless . In fact the passengers who arrived in town had barely the clothes on their back , and were obliged to puichase or borrow changes of linen , Ac .

      The deck passengers . rtio were drowned were principally policimon ; some who had gone up in the Vanguard in charge of convicts , mid sume reinforcements from the constabulary depet in the Pluenix-park . some soldiers and sailors ; one ofthe latter , : i mmi who was coining as mate to one of Mr . Scott ' s vessels , haviug been shipwrecked three times within the last ypar . The commander of the vessel , Captain Moll ' ett , who had the reputation of being a skilful and experienced seaman , is described as being almost out of his mind at the occurrence , hut of course we cannot at present f > rm any opiniun with reference to his proceedings . Up to the lust accounts the ship wa < fast going to pieces , and probably after another tide there will not be a vestige of her le't . None of the oodies are as yet found , but it was thought that in the courts of to-morrow ( Sundaj ) thuy would be washed uslmre . The number of passengers and crow on board the Sinus was , as ntmr a « can be ascertained , about uiuety ; seventy one of whom have been saved .

      It is understood that the vessel is insured , though whether to her ful : value i ? not known ; but it is thought none ofthe cargo is so protected , and that it will ben complete loss .

      DA . RINS HIGHWAY ROBBERY AND MURDER . Sheffield , Jan 18 . —A most unprovoked and cold , bloodeihnurderhno been , within the last few days , committed upon Mr . John HUey , a respectable tobacconist of this town , the inquest upon whose remains was opaned on Saturday night , befor Mr . Badger , one of the coroners for the West Riding of Yorkshire . The facts are these . Mr . Riley , after closing his place ot business , which la in Waingate , went on Monday evenimr last to spend an hour or two with somo friends at the New Market Hotel , in the Cattle Market , which place he left perfectly sober soon after twelrr o ' clock , in order to proceed to his resi . dence , which is situated a short distance from the town _

      On the road leading to a village named Griinesthorpe , it would appear that he had proceeded in > afety until he reached a somewhat lonely place , about three hundred yards from the last line of houses , on what is called Spital-hill . At this place he was attacked by two or three men , who , after one of them had exclaimed , "D m him , here he is , " struck him bo violently on the fore , head with a life-prcBerrer or other bludgeon so as to produce instant insensibility ; for , although he so far recovered at » subsequent period as to be enabled to crawl home , a distance of about a quarter of a mile , he was in . capable of giving any other account of his assailants than that they had taken from him about thirty shillings in money , his silver watch , bis hat , and his walking stick .

      After being insensible for upwards of an hour on the ground where he had been knocked down , and in a com . plcte pool of blood , he reached Mr house abnut twenty minutes to two o ' clock . His face at that time was covered with blood and dirt , his right hand pocket was turned out , and his braces were broken . Each eye was fearfully blaekened , to the axtent of nearly an inch all round ; he had a large lump on the centre of his forehead ; and his nose was e . i > asli > -d , and covered with coagulated blood . His hands also were covered with blood ; and there wero severe abrasions and bruises on both his knees . There were likewise 3 erious bruises on various parts of his person , all of which sufficiently indicated that he must , although perhaps unconsciously to himself , have struggled violently wit !) his assailants .

      On reaching home his first words uttered to his wife were , "Mary , they have nearly killed me . " His wounds and bruises were bathed and poulticed by his wife , and medical and surgical aid were called in in a few hours afterwards , but notwithstanding their skill , the unfortunate lingered until two o ' clock on Saturday morning , when he d'edfi-om the effects of the barbarous usage to which he had been subjected .
