      ^——— ' - ¦ ' iiXii Accidie xeah Leicestek . —An inquiry into the circumstances ' attending the death of Ed-. pi grtl Jowett , the -unfortunate man killed on therail-TJ 3 T near this place on Thursday night , took place on pndav , at 5 ^ © 'dock . From the evidence of the two is ineipal -witnesses , the driver and stoker of a coal naiB , wluch left Leicester foi- Rugby , about seven o ' clock on Thursday night , it appeared that the deceased acted as "breaksman to the same train , and accompanied them on that occasion . After passing ¦ rV roujrh tlie Knighton-hill Tunnel , -which is little jaor ? than a mile from Leicester , one of the coupling j ^ aini connecting iae coal trucks l > rok \ % and the train Tras stopped to remedy the accident . This having been done , the engine was again set in motion , but

      ¦ grins to the humid state of the atmosphere , and consequent slipperiness of the rails , the ¦ wheels < lid not "l » ne , ' and xhe deceased trot down off the truck on vhk-h he "was riding , and taking a small spade or Ojovel "with him , crossed the line for the purpose of ^ taininir a little sand to throw upon the rails . IVTiile in " the act of doing this the second goods train from London came along the down line at a rapid "Dace . *> ut . from the fog which prevailed at the the xime . it -was not observed by the driver of the coal train -until -within a lew yards' distance . When The jjsib had swept past , the driver called out to deceased , and , obtaining no answer , commenced a csreh for Mm . In a verv few moments he was di =-

      tfjvered in a senseless state by the road side , with a irisrhtful -wound over the riirht temple , from which the brains protruded , and other contusions about the face . He was immediately placed on one of the . trucks and conveyed ¦ 'back to Lei <\ - ~ ier , Where he lin--£ m \ i"aiit ! l ten o ' clock . audihen expired- In tho abseaee of allpositive knowledge , it i * conjectured that , in consequence of the noise from the engine of the coal train , the deceased -was altogether unaware of the approach of the down train , the connecting bar between the wheels of the locomotive attached to which appears to have struck his head , and inflicted ibe wound above described . After Learinjr evidence to tils effect , the jury expressed ihem $ e ] ve » satisfied , and returned a verdict of "" Accidental death / 5

      Axotsek Railwat Accident . —Another accident occurred on Thursday betwixt Leicester and Rugby . Two statements have reached us , but the one most c-eneraliy credited is , that -a imrsasre-traln could not ret alonir , in consequence of the slippery state of the Ja 3 s : that the guard or stoker go : off to scatter sand span the rails , and that another train overtook theju , i » ut was not observed in consequence of the dense f « s . and the poor fellow ' s brain ? were dashed uut . These events have caused great excitement . Tee Fatal Accident ox iei Great Wesizkn PuoL-ffAT . —On Thursday morning , a dreadful and iaial accident took place on the Use of tie Great Western railway , near the station at "West Draytuii , " Middlesex , b-r -which two men , named Samuel lirooks

      and William TueJrwjrii . have ji « = t iheir lives . II appears from inquiries made on the spot , that abuut ikif-past t-iirht o ' clock six men , including the two men killed , were engaged in repairinc that portion ill the railway westward of the West l > rayton station , nearly on the confines of Buckinghamshire , when the sound of an approaching up-train was heard in the distance . Four of the men immediately got off the line altogether : but the two inen , Brooks and Tuek-TrelL instead of feflovring iheir example , moved only from the up line to ihe down line . At the time there fss a very thick and dense fog prevailing , * o that c . lljfct * could not ue ^ t-en beyond a very short distajiw , in * consequence of wHch the men were not aware of die approach also of the down train , which leave * the Paddinston terminus si £ i » lit y ' ylwk . until it was « i close to them that all chance of tseave was hopele ^ .

      £ 321 ihev were instantly knocktal down and } . a >^* - <] over bv the train . The persons having chanre - •! tlit : T ? ain " were . not aware of the accident until their arrival at the Slough statjvn . when some of iac rajj-Kay officers observing blood on the rendrr of the engine , communicated the laci to *]> o guard , when tcrsons were immediately sent iU-ai ; the line to -a . scertaiD the cause , who found iiit- Kniies of the two deceased lying in a frightfully mutilated state on the down line between ihe Sluncli and West iJravton 3 taB 0 D * . Iioth bodies wt-re promptly removed to a * hed at the TVest I > rayton station . It is stated that the bodies presented " a most frightful spectade . and that the watch of one of the unfortunate sufferers was driven into his body . An inquest on the bodies was held on Saturday ikst , wiien a verdict -was returned of " Awidearal death . " '

      MrBDER at Paris bt Sotocatigs . —The Court oi Assizes of the Seine was occupied on Saturday witJi the trial of Etienne ChevreuiL aged 24 , a journeyman shoemaker , for having , on the 12 th of July last / mur dered a woman named Celina Bronn , aged 35 , by placing over her face a pitch plaster . The singularity of the means used in the committal of this crime * , and the fact of the prisoners havinu immediately afterwards gone and delivered liimself into cu&todv , contributed to lend a certain interest to this case . It appeared from the act of accusation that the prisoner had , on the evening of the murder , come to the guard-house of the Conservatoire des Arts et Metiers , and declared that he had just killed a woman who lived -with him as his wile . He had met with the deceased , he said , in tlie street , a month before , and

      proposed to her to go home and pass the night wi \ h him . She consented , and remained with him at his request for some days , lie then wished to get rid of her , but she positively refused to quit the place . Having scarcely any money to pay his rent and uther expenses , and being besides in debt , they had agreed to die . together by means of charcoal . They got some brandy on credit , and drank it to < rive them courage , asd . having stopped the key-holo and windows oaivfully , placed the charcoal neai- the bed , ready to l > e lit when they pleased . The brandy rapidly took effect on the senses of the deceased , and she was obliged to lie down on the bed . Findinsr that she lay quiet , the idea occurred to him to melt some shoe-makers' wax , and spreading it on a piece of rag to place it over her iace . He did this , and after holdin ? it on the woman ' s features for a short

      lime-, found that she -was dead . He then thought , he said , of lighting the charcoal , but his courage failed , and he determined to give himself up to justice . The soldiers at the sruard-house at first imagined that the prisoner intended some hoax , bat on some of them proceeding to his lodging in the Rue Aumaire , they found the woman Bronn lying dead , with the pitchmask on her face . On the trial a number of circumstances came out which very materially impugned the veracity of the prisoner's statement relative to his intention to die with the deceased . It appeared that the prisoner -was always of a morose , taciturn dispostion , given up to the most degrading habits of dissipation , dissatisfied -with his -wages as a journeyman shoemaker ( 50 sous a dav ) , and still wantinsr

      energy to better his condition . In appearance he bore all the marks of an ill-regulated life , beins : sallow , thin , and undenrrown . lie was fond of reading , hut the books which lie generally perused were of a la-riviou- character , lit- was ak said to be fond of poetry , raid to have written some verses liimsi-lf , but this fact only rest- on lus own assertion . TL'e deeeased was also -aid to have occAsionallv produced some short pieces in verse . The quantity of wax used for the plaster was so much mure wusuk-rab ] e than a journeyman iremi-aliy had )> y him , that Inquiries wen' ivuule on this i > oim , from vrhk-H it appeared that ihe prisoner had the evening preeeinns : the murder gone out and pun-hastil two sous' worth . Tiiis ijuantity , and even niuiv . had bten all used , which would seem to iiuplv

      that the pr » M > ncr had previou-ly formed the idea ol nmrde-rini : the woman . It was proved , too . that when lie came to the ! niard-hou > e he was perf > -vtiy sober , whereas , by his own acknowledgment , he L ^ : ! given tlie < lei-eased so considerable a quantity of brandy as to intoxicate her . This was more easy for him to do , as the deceased wa > known to be fond ol spirituou .- liquors , and hail Wen repeatedly seen in a state of intoxication during the time she was living with Chevreuil . The < jUe < tion « f ihe prisoner ' s ? ne ; :-tn ] intelligence was rai ~ ¦ ¦] by his i-i > un-el . A pei-son named l > reill . ni-d , om- of his most intimate acquaintance ^ , severe that he was weak i'i intellect , ai ' . 'l the person for ¦ ""hwi he work ^ U > v in «' l inclined io the same opiaiou ; hui , on the oiinv hand , there - . va ? brought forwani ; i written account of the crime , atvu of the circuijistances which lexl to it , drawn up by the prisoner ut the guard-house on the nicht he deli vert d

      himself into custody . This }> aj > er , which is curious fruui the minuteness of it- details , shows no want of iniellicemv . It is iilletl with faults of orthography , but is not devoid of occasional force of expression . After a great number of witnesses had been examined , the Advocate-General addressed the Court at great length in support of the accusation , declaring that no proof existed that anv agreement hail been made between tie deceased and the prisoner to die together ; but that , on the contrary , every thing led to the ! x--lief that the prisoner had tirst intoxicated the \ U--ct-ased , and then murdered her , according to a plaii which he had previously determined on . The prisoner's counsel having replied , the jury retired for hall an hour , and then returned a verdict of " * Guilty of murder . " The Court passed sentence of death on the prisoner , who did not manifest the slightest concern , and walked awav in custody with a firm step .

      Another Female Drowned . —On Monday mornm :: last , the body of an elderly woman , the wife of Janie-Hall , a resident in I . o ! i 3--t : > .-c :. > >] uham , was found < ln » wned in a lod-jc of water in the lntack Field . The unfortunate woman , who was about sixty years of age , had been quarrelling on Saturdav night last with a daughter of hers , who bears a bad ciiaracter . A fter this circumstance she disappeared . She was searched for in vain on Sunday , and was not discovered till Monday momin-j . The deceased was a brcad-baKcr , and a mu > t industrimi- wonwn .

      ===:= ^ = ^ = : = s = ^ ==: ^ = ^ = be in a yen- strange and excited state . Nothing was , however , thought of it , and the dog was allowed to range about during the day , and it has since been ascertained that he has bitten several dogs at Chiswick , Hammersmith , and Brentford , and also a donkey , belonging to a water earner , named Clark , at Chiswiek . About 12 o ' clock on that day ( Wednesday ) the dog followed home from his master ' s house a young man named Fowler , in the employ of Mr . Dean , a market-gardener at Strand-on-the-Green , who resides nearly opposite the Prince of Wales , and there flew at him , and bit him severely on the thumb of the right hand , Fowler short Iv afterwards complained to Mr . Battersbee of the ( 3 og having bitten him , and kid bis thumb open , but nothing serious was thought oi' it at the time . About an hour after , however , a little Wv , between four and five

      years of age , the ^ son of Mr . King , a tailor , living two doors from thellVhice of Wales , was bitten in both legs by the dog , and subsequently , on the same afternoon , Mr . G . Battersbee himself , wliile sitting in the bar , w ; is bitten by the animal In the middle finger of the right hand ; a woman named -Brown , a dealer in fish , living at Chiswick , while passing tlie house , was bitten In the leg ; Mr . C . Battersbee ( brother of the landlord ) , in the right thumb ; ; i man named Stowell , in the employ of Mr . J . Cloud , liveryman , and Mr . Battersbee , sen ., in the thick part oi' the thigh . Still no suspicion was entertained that the dog was in a rabid state until the evening of the-same day , when the dog was seen to bite the dui > i - -po . > its ; and it Incoming known that several persons as well as animals had been bitten by him , Mr . Jiattersbee uirectwl that the dog should be tied up in the stable , which was done . From that time until Sundav last

      the dog refused either food or drink , but foamed at the mouth , and gnawed the straw on which he was placed , and even the bricks underneath ; and on Sunday he was destroyed . All the persons known to have been bitten have been placed under medical treatment , and have had . the parts caut erized without any unfavourable symptoms Laving appeared . Numerous dogs in the neighbourhood , supposed to have been bitten , liave been destroyed . Mr .

      London . —Great Robbery at a Banking IIorsE . —Great excitement prevailed in the City on Monday , upon the tact Wing made known that a r »> bbery } iad taken place , < lur ' the course of the previous day . in tbe house ot" Messrs . Rogers , Oldingr and <"« ., St . Clemem ' s-lane . and that propertv to tlit amount of upwards of , £ - }( J . "i'i ) had lieen stolen . 1 appears that the money was deposited in the iron sate , and , as usual , a clerk was appointed to watcn over it- safety durinir tho day . and another to perform the like duty durinir the niirht . One of the partners remainin g at homo ou Sunday , tbe day clerk asked uerrnksioi ) t <> » o out for u few hours , which

      was srranted . At the accustomed Lour in the evening the other clerk caine , ami remained during tlie nicht ; but when business was resumed on Monday , and tho iron safe opened with the ordinary kev , it was found entirely empty ; and yet no force whatever had been used in the employment uf the means adopted to rid the chest of its valuable contents . CM course , all is conjecture upon the subject . Notes tn the amount of . £ 40 . 710 have l > oen stopped at the Bank ; and Forrester , the active f'ity police officer , is { 'iisajjed in endeavouring to trace tlie party guilty of this darhn : crime .

      riRTHER Particulars . — I ' nis enormous robbery continues the subject of general conversation in the city ; but , a * was tlie cafe on Monday , it is deemed iv matter of prudence to conceal certain particulars , the publication of which would probably militate against the apprehension oi' tlie offenders . It has been a work of some excitement , under existing circumstances , for the clerks of Messrs . Rogers and Co . to make up the heavy list of missing notes ; but ou Tuesday morning tlie whole were completed , and p lacarded extensively -throughout the metropolis . The house of Rosrers anrl Co . is situated in Ck'iuent ' s-

      lane , rather a quiet thoroughfare , and , on Sundays especially , comparatively deserted , the houses being chiefly let out as offices , and occupied in other than business hours merely by the male or female keepers . This would so far atford facilities ibr the unobserved approach of the thieves , a eourt running v \ lso within two doors of the bank . The house of Ropers and Co . has aivvuys been considered onp nt" deeidvd property , though doing a very private busino . <« : and the head of the firm , now advanced in aye , is well known as the author of tlie / ' /«• t .--nrt . i < - / ' . l / - »«<< n / . I ' u * ii .-ess appears to he proreediiii' iu the < - ! ab ] j-, hmc ) it in the usual quiet wav .

      The latk Roiireky « Mr . s ,-iis . Roi . f . rs . — Lo . snos . We . I'M-sI > a \ Nj ' . UT . —Not tb « - -iiulito ^ t < -lUf lias yi- V l » een obtained to the perpetrators of tbi . s extraordinary robU-ry . All iilea is new abandoned of the thieves having started for tbe continent . Mr . Hobler , wiio has l : « een employed by the lirm , -Uirted immediately the robbery was discovered , for the continent , from which place he returned last night , and it is lielieved from the information he there obtained that the < niilty parties had not started for France ; and this assurance is further confirmed by the fact that l > aniol Forre-ter i- in town . The supposition now t-ntertaijied is , that the { -roiluce of the robliery is secretetl , and that the noies wUl not Ix' put in circulation for the present . A fall account ,

      connected with the numbers of the stolen notes , has been sent to -. ill the great cities on tLe continent , which , perhaps- , will have the effect ef preventing any of them DciiiL' passed : but whether they might not be negotiated amongst the South American States is worthy of consideration . One of the superior officers of the City police received a letter in the course of yesterday , informing him that the whole of the property which was stolen from Mexsrs . Rogers' bankinghouse wa .- deposited in a house in the neighbourhood of Walworth ; and off ' two of the force were sent in a call to act upon the premises , although the information Lad all the appearance of a hoax in the eyes of experienced men . The latter was anonymous , and written in a wretched manner ; but so ready are people to grasp at in that it eedilv

      any hope a desperate case , was gp tvpftrtfd amongst the police that all the money would be , by six or seven o ' clock , certainly in the custody of the City commissioner or the Lord Mayor . The cabman was the only one who trained by the report , for the poor man who owned tbe house , upon being shewn tbe wan-ant , expressed the to-eatest surprise and indignation at the calumny , and invited the most scrupulous investigation . The expectation of the police of course proved delusive . The person who was subj < H-t < v ] t « xiiU annoyance declares that he is not aware how he could have provoked the animosity of any living ' neinjr to so unkind an act . The missing notes and u'olfl alone amount to 4 " , 0 (« i / ., and there is besides , it is stated , a large amount in bills of exchange The mode in which the robbery was effecte » J is pretty w <* U ascertained ; amKas the locks of banker- ' safes arc sren-i-aily t ,. i the patent principle , till' probability i < that the key- > bad « n some occasion b ^ i'n mislaid , and that advautai'p was taken of that

      circumstance to prepare for the roh !> ery . There are oni- or two points that may be stated with certainty , from what has transpired . First , that a successful ru .-- was planned to ^ o . t possession of the keys of the stn-ni' che .-t : secondly , that the party delinquent has on a former occasion not « tood A 1—and . thirdly , that then- is a clue to the retreat of the delinquent . Then- was something- like a run upon the bank on Monday ; but on Tuesday business resumed its ordinary cum-nt . It is not at all improbable that within eiirht and forty hours the principal delinquent will be in the bands of one ut" the Forresters . The amount of sovereigns , taken is not by any means so lame as rtate < 5 in many quarters . A vory strontr man Dllist llP ik' who can conveniently walk away , and without aftraetii ! _ ' observation , with . ' { , ( " >(* or 4 , ooo sovereigns . The transaction—the possession ol the keys , tho opening « f the stroni ; room , and the principal party bein <; fairly on '" the road "—occupied less than three quarters of an hour .

      Extensive Housebrearing , \ xn Robbery at Glasgow . —Friday morning , about one o ' clock , a robbery of a very daring and extensive character was perpatratexl in the drapery warehouse of Mr . William Patrick . Clyde-terrace , ( Jorbals . The thieves , it appears , effected an entrance by forcibly breaking open the back windows , and succeeded in carrying off three hundred bolts of silk ribbons , a quantity of -ilk handlierehiefs , sewed muslin collars , anil stockings , along with . £ ' •• in single notes , and £ 16 in silver and copper . The proprietor of the warehouse , who resides above tlie premises , fortunatel y heard

      the noise caused by the depredators , and immediately proceeded to inspect his shop , just as one of the thieves was clinibijiff over aj > . adjoining wall . Of course , an alarm was soon jiiven . and in a short time afterwards , Mr . I > r > jwu , the efficient oltieer of the Gorbals erhninal dejianmeni . succeeded in cajituring six of ' the thieves—three liien and three women—along with a considerable portion of the stolen goods , in a house in Clyde-terrace . About seven o ' clock the same niorniiiL ' . a woman belonging to the party was also apprvhc-mlrd at die Kdniburgh Railway .

      the brig Daisy , of Gottenburgh . The poor boy , who was on his first voyage , appeal's to have been subjected to the combined ill-treatment of starvation , confinement , and blows . The crew of the schooner Prince , Captain Sohier , Bristol trader , Having witnessed the barbarity practised towards this poor boy —having seen him not only repeatedly thrashed by the ruftian Christensen , but also by the mate , and , moreover , confined in a ' ca . sk with netting over the top , and also kept four davs without food , stated the circumstance to Mr . P . te Conteur , who had the lad taken ashore , reported the case to the constables , and observing that the responsibility of the boy ' s life was now in their hands , left them to " bring the matter before the court . Well , the constables had the pooling ' s case in hand—they had him under their protection : they brought him , it appears , as far as the court-house—and what did they do i They sent him on board again ! What was the consefju ' enco ? A

      renewal of ill-treatment in an aggravated form . The monster Christensen , on Saturday night , had the poor boy ' s hands and feet made fast , soithat he could not use these limbs ; and , this being done , he had him fastened tight across the groin to the winch at the font of the mast , exposed to the cold and rain , where some of the pilots seeing him on Sunday morning , went to one of the assistant-constables , Mr . Payne , who , finding the bov unable to stand through ill-treatment and want of food , had him conveyed to the hospital , where he now lies in the greatest danger , the doctors scarcely entertaining a hope of his recovery . The brute of a master was put into gaol on Monday evening , and the court on Tuesday took the boy ' s deposition , in presence of the master , ' who now awaits the _ issue in gaol . Of course , should the boy die , he will be , tried for a capital offence , but a share of the responsibility must tall on those members of the police who were aware of the boy ' s situation and did not immediately rescue him from it . —Qvernnai Shir .

      Fopt-Offick RojinERiRs . —Sir , —The Postmaate ) 1 - General , 1 perceive , has re-issued a notice on the subject of " missing newspaper , " wherein he states the law against either the "Stealing , embezzling , secreting , or destroying the said newspapei-s , " and the punishment " on conviction . " It is on the twe hist words , " on conviction , " that I take the liberty of saying a few words , and laying before the public a fact which shall speak for itself , and show , by the " screening" system , how unlikely the public are to got redress . A poor girl , my gamekeeper ' s daughter , got a place at Lichfielil ; at the end of the first quarter she enclosed two sovereigns in a letter , put two seals on it , took it to the Post-onice in Lichricld , and , as good luck would have it , the -same moment

      she arrived at the office window to pay the postage , one of the most respectable inhabitants of the city saw her pay the postage- ( twopence ^ . The letter was directed to her father , begging him to pay the bill his poor daughter had contracted for a small outfit for her place . Now mind , sir , Licuficld is only 10 miles from Wolseley-bridge , the residence of her father , and there is no stoppage between the Post-office of Lichtield and that of Wolseley-bridge . The poor girl not receiving any answer from her father , she wrote to him ; he lirought the letter to mo . 1 went down t <> our Post-office , and there proved beyond a doubt , that ou the day t \\ n letter ought to have come to hand , the post-bag Ix-ing opened in the

      presence of a third indifferent person , there was no letter of any sort in the bag ! 1 then told the father to go off to Lichtickl . lie did . He got no redress ; and 1 wrote t » the General Post-office Inspector living in - North Wales , who came up , and what he called " invi ' stij . 'ateil " it . 1 jmiw 'him myself , and had a lonj ; talk with him , and 1 demanded the letter—( 1 said nothing about its contents )—the letter with two seals tui it , post-paid , . 2 ( 1 . ; and 1 told him it never arrived at the Wolsclcy Post-oltieo ; by proof positive , as above , and therefore tlie postmaster of . Lichtield must produce the letter in question , put in in the presence of a respectable witness . Now , sir , what was the result ' . Nothing!—1 am , sir , your oliedient servant , C . WOLSEI . EV .

      Fo-lW IB 1 . R AbPT-CTION . Kll . I . AKNKY , FRIDAY . Oil Sunday ni ^ lit last , about fourteen men , whose faces were blackened , and most of whom were armed , attacked tho house of Michael M'Gillveudilv , of Trippinagh , in the parish of Aglish , a respectable farmer , anil having discharged a shot through the parlour window , they effected an entrance through it , and first secured the servants by binding them firmly with ri > i > i » . They then ]> roceeded to tht ? bedroom of M'Gillycudd y ' s ( laughter , a girl sixteen years old , whom they violently dragged out of ' betl ,- and , regardless of the incessant and feeling entreaties of the mother to permit the girl to dress herself , the heartless ruffians forced her through the window in that lamentable condition , leaving six of the party behind to prevent any trace of the : fugitives . In a desperate struggle to shelter the daughter , her mother was barbarously beaten by these savages , and now remains under the care of doctors . Four of the gang have been arrested .

      Affecting Event . —We have received intelligence of the almost sudden demise of Mr . William lletherington , a fine promising young gentleman of eighteen years of a ^ e , son of the late W . lletherington , Esq ., of LJirkenbead , and recently appointed a second lieutenant in thcCOth Hide * . Last . siinuncr he had been engaged in a rowing match , and , from tlie exertion at the oar , hisluiuds becoming blistered , he incautiously , whilst in a state of perspiration , dipped them int < i the cold water . Eruption and gathering ensued , causing much pain and annoyance , and this continuing for a considerable time , he went to London , and , it is apprehended , took unskilful aihice , by which , though he appeared to be cured , the diseu . se wa . s

      probably thrown into th , e system by the too rapid drying up of the bores . ; Uv retumvd homo to hi . s family apparently quite recovered , and , after remaining a short time , resolved to return to the military college at Brussels , where lie had before studied , to make -the liest use of his time in professional acquirements . On Jiis arrival there he was congratulated by Win fonner companions , to whom he was much endeared ; hut , alas . ' on Wednesday week , when he « at down to dinner with them , he suddenly remarked that he felt extraordinary sensations , arid could eat nothing . Being observed ' . to be ill , and afterwards to faint , he wa . s immediately earned to hed , and received every possible attention ; but , to the grief of all around him , he expired early the following morning .

Justice Williams , and this morning the busiuens of the assizes commenced . There arc forty-two prisoners for trial , seven of Whom are charged with murder . There are also several other serious offences . The Case of Richard Dadd , the Pahiuc-ide . — Mr . liodkui made an application to the Court in reference to the above prisoner , who , it will be remembered , after having murdered his lather , made his way to France , and was eventually brought hack to

      this country and committed for trial . The learned Counsel , after having briefly alluded to the circumstances of the case , said there was no doubt that the unhappv young man was insane , ami he-had been removed by order of the Secretary of Suite to a criminal lunatic asylum , where he now remained . As the trial , therefore , coiikl not come on , he would apply to the Court to discharge the recognisances of the witnesses who had been bound over , and to order that the money and other valuables taken from the person of the deceased gentleman at the time of the discovery ut' the murder might be delivered to his friends . —The Court made the order .

      The League and Axti-Leaoui : at IIolmfir'JH Yorkshire . —We had a lecturej from Mr . Harper , o ; the Anti-Leagne , on Friday night last . His object was Free Trade , ' which he handled in a masterly manner . He was often interraptei ] by a leaguer in the body of the hall , named Nathan Littlewood , a shop-keeper . He mounted the orchestra twice for the purpose of refuting the arguments of the lecturer , but never before was there such a specimen of ' middle-class ignorance . lie denied this , and denied

      that ; but when he had the chance to refut e , the arguments , he completely forgot to mention them . In fact , he was a complete clown for the audience . At the conclusion of the lecture , anctlior leaguer , named Beardsell , tried his hand , but to little effect . Finding that tlie question of "' protection to hOiour , " was to be crowned with victory , [ the leaguers thought proper to try another plan ; that of a public discussion , This is to come off on Thursday , betwixt Afr . Harper and Mr . Aekland , if he can be got ; if not , with some other lecturer of the Anti-Corn League .
