The inclement state of the weather during the last week or two has naturally tended to diminish the number of individuals frequenting the baths but when" we state that 70 persons visited them on Saturday evening, it will be seen that they are duly appreciated by those for whom they were provided. The amount of business done in the wash-houses is constantly increasing, as will he seen by the statistical table, in another column.

Hahfeb, Clehk of the Peace. We have heard that the lords of the treasury have sent to both parties interested in the subject of Mr. Harper's claim to compensation copies of the opinions of the law officers of the crown, in reference to the legality and validity of such claim and we understand that these opinions leave little doubt what must be the decision of the lords of the treasury in relation to Mr. Harper's claim, for whose guidance they have been obtained. There does not appear much chance, from what we bear, of the ratepayers being called upon to pay the large compensation (about 800 per annum, ve believe), claimed by the clerk of the peace.

Some nights ago, a waterspout expended itself on the hill above Itivermorristoii Houie.

The noise was awful and before the cause could he conjectured for in the darkness the cloud could not be descried the rivulets had become changed into headlong and destructive torrents. Treee were torn from their roots by the sudden and powerful inundation; and the ledges ot two bridges were carried away by the Glenmorriston Burn. At one place it made a new channel for itself. The houses on the banks were inundated, and considerable ahirm was felt by the people. Inverness Courier.

"My Uncle's Nephew." A gentleman who rejoices in the same surname as the Railway King, was travelling on one of his majesty's lines a few days ago, and although weary from the loss of a night's rest, could not go to sleep for the rattling of a window. He therefore made a plug of his ticket, and "put down" the noise. But, unfortunately, when he awoke the ticket was gone and when the guard came for it, ho insisted upon a second payment of the fare. You shall not have it, sir," said the traveller, "but I'll give you my name, if yon please!" "Oh, that won't do! I must have the money," was the reply. The money I shall not give you," the stranger calmly rejoined, hut my name is Hudson, sir: I'm my uncle's nephew Beg your pardon, sir," said his majesty's servant, touching his hat; and not another word was heard about the ticket.

The traveller and his neighbours had a hearty laugh when the door was closed. Curtae Journal. Daring Attempt at Burglary and Murder, at South Shields. On Sunday (week), Mrs. Cabey, who keeps a public-hnnse in Union Alley, South Shields, was awoke about six o'clock, by healing a noise down stairs.

On going to see what was the matter, she saw a man attempting to get in hy the bar window. She immediately screamed, when a fellow who waB standing outside pulled out a pistol and deliberately fired at her, wounding her the shoulder. They then decamped. The neighbours were alarmed, and on ascertaining her condition, procured the attendance of a surgeon, who, on examining the wound, pronounced it to he not of a serious character, but asserted that if she had been struck a little lower down, it would in all probability have proved fatal. As the parties did not get into the house, of course, they did not obtain the booty.

A young man named Cout, who lives at the Low Full, relates that he was returning home after dusk, and had got to that part of the road which lies opposite to the residence of William Wylam, Esq.

Ho hesitated to 1 a.i.1 I.l,..., l.n lintf.ai.,1 I comply, anil received a blow on the face with the butt-end, to quicken his deliberations. He then held out the bundle but when she was about to take it, young Cout, being a strapping lad, struck her on tbe side of her head, and knocked her down. Clapping a whistle to her mouth, she sounded an alarm, and four fellows came to her assistance, Cout, however, who retained his bundle, got clear off, and never ran faster home in his lifii than on this occasion. The uspicion is that "the woman" is a man in masauerade.

Guteshead Frauds in Silver Plvte. It is a fact, notorious amongst tho silver-plate manufacturers of Birmingham, and of which many of the influential noblemen and gentleman connected with this town, who are guardians of tbe Assay Office, are cognisant, that a manufacturer, who is himself a guardian, and whose business transactions are of a most extensive character, has been mulcted in the statutory penalties for mixing base metal with that which had been previously warranted by the atamn of the officials of the Assay Office. That no injustice may be done to the other manufacturers, we at once state, that the person to whom we refer is Mr. George Richmond Colhs, of Church-street. The way in which tiie introduction of haBe metal to the standard plate, stamped "genuine" by the Assav Office, was accomplished.

was this: "In certain hollow places, such as the feet of 1 vases ana candelabra, oase metal was introduced alter tue utiun in uic eiupiovnierii oi iur. mollis, anu me miner having been brought under tho notice of the guardians of vnen vo mo units, unu me wuuia afterwards weighed, was sold at the price of silver.

Bori.iry. About mid-day on Sunday last, Mr. Graham, landlord of the King vaults, Charles-street, discovered that his house bad been broken open during the previous night, and more than in silver abstracted from the drawer in the bar. It was found that the shutter of ono of the folding doors bad been wrenchtd off by a crow bar, and an entrance thus effected, as the doors were secured at twelve o'clock on Saturday night, and the money was then safe. Suspicion at unce fell upon five youths, named Todd, Ryan, Hefaketh, Dovvd, and Tiernan, w'ho hail not only been aeon in the vaults during the evening, but were noticed by several of the police loitering near tbe premises until three o'clock on tho Sunday rooming; and, on their apprehension, different amounts silver were taken from them.

A meeting of the town council was held on Monday last, respecting the appointment of officers, when it appeared that there is some doubt as to whether the appointment rests with tbe town council or the borough magutratcs. The charter of incorporation is in favour of the council, hut two private acts for building gaols appear, we understand, to favour the claims of the magistrates. After a long discussion, it was agreed in the first place to tako the opinion of counsel upon the subject, and then, if considered necessary, to appeal to the decision of tbe Court of Queen's Bench.

A Bold Thief. A clever attempt was made on Saturday evening, by a well-dressed thief, to steal about 400 worth of plate, the property of Mr. Johnson, the late lord mayor of London. One of Alderman Johnson's sarvnnts was om- ployed in loading a cab, at the private door of the Mansion House, with the goods of his master, and as soon as a chest of plate was deposited on the driver's box, a man bustled into the vehicle suddenly, and ordered the driver to set off for the Brighton Railroad as quickly as possible. Tbe cabman, supposing that the person who gave him the order was duly authorised, began to turn his horse round, but luckily one of tbe attendants at the Mansion House, who was assisting in packing up the goods, caught a glimpse of the cab, and called out to the driver that there was something more for hini to carry.

The thief inside immediately opened the door at the far side, upon being asked what he had lo do with the proparty, and disappeared in a twinkling Even the most experienced officers of the police admitted that the dexterity with which tbe experiment was made, proved that the candidate for the plate was a fellow of first-rate genius. Times Colliery Explosion. A dreadful explosion of fire-damp took place on Tuesday morninc last, at the Truhslmw Col liery, near Tunatall, in the Potteries, by which the lives of three of the workmen were sacrificed. It appaara that about six o'clock in the morning, nearly one hundred persons were in the mine, and were proceeding to the various work ings. The three men now deceased worked the same dip of the mine.

A man named Bailey took his safety-lamp, with which means of protection all the workmen are supplied (a person being regularly stationed at the bottom of tbe pit lo give them out each went to hiB work. Tbe tw-o otner uniortunate men tallowed directly afterwards, and, as is stated by the overseer, without going to him for their lamps. It is supposed that on the two men getting up to Bailey, he most imprudently unscrewed the top of his lamp, in order to light a caudle, when tho flame came in contact with the foul air and produced an immediate explosion. The concussion was felt more or less in all parts of the mine, and caused the greatest alarm. Bailey and the two men were killed instantly, and a man named Copeland "'as seriously injured.

All inquest has been held, and a vordiet of "Accidental death" returned. Birmmaluim Gazette. Highway Attack. On Saturday night" last, about nine o'clock, a man came to the Gloucester Polico Station, with his head tied up, and mueh bruised and bleeding, from a very savage attack which bad been made upon him about three miles from this city on the Bristol road. He appeared to he an itinerant stationer, and had a bundle of paper with him.

His statement was that he was joined on tho road hy a young man, apparently not more than fifteen or sixteen years of age, who entered into conversation with him, and walked in his company for some distance. The man remarked lie wanted to hasten to Gloucester, and buy a pair of shoes, far he was almost barefoot. His companion inquired what sort of shoes he intended to bay, or how much he intended to give for them. The man replied he could not afford to give much for them as he had not much money. Soon afterwards, the young fellow, who was armed with a stout stick, dropped a little behind, and struck the man three tremendous blows on the head, and one on the left hand as the poor fellow held it up to defend his head.

Although almoBt stunned hy the blowrs, be closed upon his assailant, and in the course of a desperate struggle, he bit off the fellow's nose, with the loss of which important feature, the juvenile highwayman made oil in an opposite direction to Gloucester. The man's story was somewhat extraordinary certainly, but his badly wounded head and hand plainly showed that he had been engaged in an encounter of extreme violence. Nothing more, however, has been heard of the robber, although the loss of his nose will be very well calculated to make a marked man of him for life, if it does not lead to his detection at present.

In answer to questions from Mr. Medcalf, Mr. Br car avowed himself favourable to triennial parliaments, and against a property qualification for members.

Mr. Med calf: Are you in favour of what is popularly termed universal suffrage and vote by ballot! Mr. BrUjIit: lam most decidedly in favour of vote by ballot. With respect to universal suffrage, I take tbe question to mean whether I am of opinion that every man of 21 years of age and upwards, untainted hy crime, should have a vote. After quoting Blackitoue.

Mr. Bright said then comes the question, if you admit the abstract right, that evorv man primaacie is entitled to a vote, how you, being in parh iment, would ue disposed to extend that vote to turn. Mr. Bright said he thought probably it would not be an advisable thing at once to extend the suffrage from the one million who now hold it to the six millions who would bold it if all were included; but he thought it would be most advantageous to the state that there should be now even a large number admitted at once within the pale of the franchise. Mr.

Medcalf asked if Mr. Bright was in favour of the house of lords, as at present constituted, being retained as a branch of tbe legislature 1 Mr. Bright sai I no man had ever heard him say a word, in public or private, against the desirableness of having a house of legislation not constituted like the house of commons. And thuse who bad supposed that political liberty was impeded by the house of lords, had rathermade the mistake ol directing their attention there, rather than to the house palled the houseof commons. The more the houseof commons was composed of an aristocratic element, the more the people gave it to the houseof lords to render themselves to irresponsi ble to tne peopie, that they might again become hostile, prejudcial to the public liberties.

Believing we could maintain as much influence in tho house af commons as to counteract anything unsafe and irresponsible in the houseof lords, he was not prepared to advocate any change with regard to that portion of our constitution. Mr. Medcalf next asked Sunnosinc government were to separate the Irish church from its political position, how would Mr. Bright propose to dispose of its revenues! Mr. Bright said he should resist anv attempt to apply them to the endowment or support of any religious Beet whatever, as a religious sect.

He would not take them from one church to 1 .1.1 i i i. hand them to another. Mr. Medcalf next asked if Mr. Bright would support motion for setiaratiuc the English church from the state.

Mr. Bright said no such motion would ever be submitted, because it was not definite enough, and a man might vote for or against it, and nobody know what he had voted for or against. His objection to the established rhurch did not arise from any differfnee he had with it on religious or doctrinal points. He should think it the height of absurdity and criminality in him, as a. politician, and a candidate for a eeat in parliament, to say a word that should make it appear that ho had feelings of hostility to any individuals, because they professed a particular form of religion.

He then adverted to the church patronage vested in the Chancellor. As a political establishment, be believed it his duty on all occasions to advocate the views be held with regard to it, that politics and religion should be totally distinct, and that the state should not interfere by taxes, votes of money, special laws, or ecclesiastical acts, or by the civil piwer, in any way, for the promotion or sustentation of the pcrticnlar views of any particular sect. Mr. Medcalf said lie hud no more questions, and thanked Mr. Bright for the candour end freedom of his answers.

Mr. George Hadfield then moved tbe following resolution: "That this meeting of electors, gratefully nclaiowlcdfririg the valu ible services of Mr. Bright to thin community and to the country at largo, during tho seven earn arduous btrugftle fw commercial reform, and entertHimng the biKlmt opinion of his integ-ilty a-id abi lilies, as shown in hin past public and parliamentary career, resolves that he is emincntU qualified to represent this bnrnugh in parliament, and pledges itself to assist in. securing his return, ty every iavim means at tne next trueriu ncuuuu. He adverted to some of Lord Lincoln's votes, and said that after all Mr.

Bright's exertions, when he came back to the borough of Manchester his private character was traduced, uis principles belied, and falsehoods declared against mm which would not bear tbe test of truth. There was one falsehood yet to be contradicted, namely, thathe (Mr. Bright) had deluded Mr. Cobden. It was a convenient delusion for tho present purpose, because Mr.

Bright's own explanation was not to be believed, or declared to be so mystical as not to be understood by the calumniator, and because Mr. Cobden was not here to deny the slander. Ue was in Spain, and the Its would have produced ils effect before ho could be here to confront it before tbe constituency of the borough. He ashed if they would elect a lord, who bad probably never been in tho borough, in preference to a man who had achieved the victory fur them and said, if we were to have a contest, let Lord Lincoln come hy all means, and state his opinions, and the electors of Manchester would also tell him theirs.

Mr. Bright, acknowledging the vote, said that his friends had the start the canvass; that they were in the field with a man known to very many of the electors personally, and almost to all through the puhhc press. These were great and signal advantages on their side.

He recommended the district committees to make great oxertions in the canvass, as every district coming to the general committee with good returns, was a great stimulus to the other districts to exert themsehes as much as possible; and with Rood principles, great zeal, and prolonged and determined ejcertiom, there was material enough in the borough to carry a Iiheral candidate by a very large majority.

He said that they had been assembled on the present occasion on account of the large increase of the I to tbrme who worn in whirh ho 1 had the honour of filling, to come at this period of the vear in the discharge of this supplementary duty, he had no donbt uui uuu uiey woriiu come 10 it wim ine leenng uu in tne discharge of it they were rendering an essential service to tne cause oi justice. Although there were a great number of persons charzed with nnn.

there wern hnt fet none of the cases wliich wonld give them much trouble. There were two persons charged with murder, but neither of them would present any difficulty. One was a case where, late in the evening or in the middle of tbe night, when, in all probability, he was a little intoxicated, a man had quarrelled with some of his companions, and, with an open knife, had stabbed another person who bad nothing to do with the quarrel. Whether tbe prisoner mistook the party or not be (his lordship) could not say, bnt these seemed to be tbe faeU of the case according to the deposition, and it would therefore be tbe duty of tbe grand jury to find tbe bill far if a man was walking along and deliberately stabbed another without explaining the came, in that case the charge would amount to one of murder. In the other case of murder a woman was charged with the murder of her own child.

It was not the case of woman murdering her child at the instant of birth, but child, and on being interrogated concerning It, the made vu, appeal 10 me connuuenuy oi in an neater, ana entreated every man to consider that he was working for his mill, for his warehouse, for his shop, for bis home, and fori the liberties and prosperity of bis family and his country.

VU.J.T Ji.b a it I ctiougQ psrusps it was not strictly identified as beinvr the child of the prisoner, except thatthe clothes which, htd on were reoognited as being those which the child had on at the time the woman had it, The point to which the jury must direct their attention was this Were they first of all perfectly satisfied of the identity of the ch Id If they were not satisfied that it was fie same child, it would be improper to bring in the hill because, the child might be still alive. The first objest in investigating a charge of murder, was to ascertain that some human being was dead who had been alive; and, until they were satisfied that the child found was tl on 3 which the woman had been seen nursing, they could not find the bill.

But if they were satisfied of that, the o'her question would be, whether they were satisfied that the worn in was the cause of its death, it having been found drowned on on the sht re near Liverpool. There were a number of cases of manslaughter some i.f them of the ordinary nature. Ha called them ordinary, for unfortunately they were of much too frequent occurrence. Proliablv tbev nrnsa in ensss whan there had ben some quarrelling and fighting, and the result -was, that oue of the parties used his knife. These were cases which could present no difficulty; but there were other cases of a doubtful nature.

There were two or three cases where the death of a human heing a child had been occasioned by improper driving. The observation which lie had always made to juries on this subject was this Improper driving was a very improper act, and one that deserved to be punished severely. Some of them were magistrates, and they would probably know better than himself; but he believed there were some statutes that enabled them to punish persons for improper driving. According to his view of the case, it wasstraintng the lawto turn itinto a charge of manslaughter, unless the improper driving was of so gross a character as to indicate a recklessness as to the consequences. If a party did not keep on the proper side of the road, not anticipating fatal consequence-), and death did ensue, he confessed it did appear to him to be straining the law to call that manslaughter.

But if, on the other hand, a person excited by liquor, or for the purpose of bravado, chose to drive a cait through a toun reckless of consequences, and the natual consequence did happen, that some child was killed, then it was only richt to sav that man was iruiltvof manslaughter the result, although he did not contemplate it, was, as he must have known, likely to happen. If the circumstances of any of the cases warranted such a conclusion it would be their duty to find the hill. If on the other band, it happened that the man tried to pass a cart, and there was not quite room enough for bim to do so, and death ensued, he confessed that it would not be right to treat such a case as an offence next to murder in a point of criminalty, and to class it as a charge of manslaughter, which might subject the person to be transported fur the whole of bis life. There was a case in which a boy was charged with having killed one of his companions by throwing a stone at him. The bovs were i i i i an the opposite aides of a Utile stream or brook, and throwing stones at one another, when one of the ttones struck little boy ho was lying on the ground, and the injurieswbich he received caused his death.

In cases of this sort, as in cases of the other kind, it was a question of degree. In the former class of cases, that which decided the question of manslaughter or no manslaughter, depended on the degree of recklessness or carelessness evinced. So here the question must be also one of degree. To treat the throwing of stones of some sort by children of a certain age, atone another, us a criminal act, next to murder, was to confound their notions of right and wrong. It was a sad thing, if by the throwing of stones, one hoy was killed hut there might be circumstances to bring it within the category of accidents much more than within -the category of criminality.

It would, however, be for them to decide what was tho sort of stone thrown what the age of the party, and the probability of his knowing whether by his act ho was likely to do harm whether it was in a neighbourhood where be was likely to kill any one and whether it was in play or in anger. All these were questions which they would have to weigh well; and, if they were merely throwing small stones at one another; it was not a case where be charge of manslaughter ought to be preferred. After alluding to tbe cases of rape, of which there were several in the calendar, his lordship proceeded to notice the cases of assault and a tabbing, observing that magistrates committed prisoners too hastily upon the charge of having cut a man with intent to do him somo grievous bodily harm, and thfc, as it appeared to him, arose from a great imperfection tue law which said that the man who had been assaulted, and did not bring the case under the purview of that act, was obliged to bring an action at his own expense. He (the learned judge) did not ace why a person upon whom an assault had been committed, could not bring the offender to justice in the same that he could a person who had picked his pocket. They ought to be put on tho same footing and he believed it was the feeling of injustice in this distinction which induced mngiatrates to commit, and grand juries to find a bill, for an offence, which, in truth and in fact, they did not believe the prisoner had any intention of committing.

After a few other observations bis lordship dismissed the jury to their labours. After the petty jury list had been called over, tbe grand jury returned to court, and returned two or threeitrue bills, and the court proceeded to try the following case: CUTTING AND MAIMING. Ouen Morris, aged 25, and Tfamas Ketty, nged 50, were indicted for having feloniously stabbed Robert Juhnson, at Great Leier, with intent to do him somo grievous bodily harm. Mr. Cross appeared for the prosecution, and Mr.

The following are the facts of the cae, as proved by the witnesses: On tbe 14th November, 11)30', the prisoner was married at the parish church of Mottram-in-Longdendale, to Ann Mitchell-and on tbe 17th July, 104C, be married Betty Jonei, at tho Collegiate Church of Manchester, bis former wife being then alire. The prisoner in his defence, stated that the second waa merely a pretended marriage, and was void in consequence of tbe alleged second wife being described in the register an Betty Jones, whereas her real name was Elizabeth Beswick. Ho also added, that his first wife left bim tome years ago, and went off with another man to America. Tbe jury found the prisoner guilty.

Sentence deferred. STREET HOBBBEY. Joseph Skcplerd, 50, waa indicted for having, on tbe 25th October last, at Manchester, assaulted John Marsh, and robbed him of a silver watch-guard. Mr. Sowler appeared for the prosecution, and Mr.

Monk (in place of Mr. Pollock), for the prisoner. Tlie facts of the case, as they were Droved in evidence, are as follow. the evening of the day named in tbe indictment, the pro- seentor was drinking at a public-house in Ancoats-ttreet. in this town, where he got some liquor.

The prisoner is a labourer, living at Lndgate Hill, in tbie town, and on tbe evening of the October, daring tbe time that a crowd had assembled near his house, he rushed ont and tried to get into the house of the prosecutor.

On Tuesday, 3d ult. the deceased wa-s going down thestairs ofits parent's house, which are very dark, narrow, and steep, when it fell, and its head came in contact with the stone floor. A severe contusion was the consequence, and though it received the necessary treatment at the Infirmary, no symptoms of recovery were ever manifested.

An inquest was held on tbe body on Monday, before Mr. Chapman, borough coroner, at which a verdict of Accidental death" was returned. Shoplifting.

Hogsworth was apprehended, and brought before Mr.

Maude.at the Borough Court, on Saturday last. He denied the felonv but the bench considered the circumstantial evidence adduced sufficiently strong to send the case before a jury, and he was fully committed for trial at the sessions. Sudden Death. On Saturday mormnsr last, great excitement was caused at the Georite Inn, Walsall, hy tin discovery of one of the travellers dead in bed. The deceased J'r' D'xon merchant, Liverpool, and who had arrived on the previous day from Dudley, where ho had been transacting business; he had been at Birmingham in me eariy part 01 ttie week, and was to all appearance good lieilili and spirits.

On retiring to rest on Saturday night, the deceased told the boots nut to call him, but as he did not make his appearance in the morning, tbe servant went upstairs and discovered him Lying in the bed, but quite dead. A coroner's inquest was held on the body on Monday morning, when a verdict of Died from tbe visitation of God" was returned. The deceased was about 70 years of age. Suspected Roiiiiery.

It was stated by the wife that she had attended the late fair at Sheffield, and that a 5 note of one of the hanks of that town had been paid to her by a customer, but as it was known that she only dealt in nuts and articles of trifling value, information was given to the police at Sheffield. They had since communicated to the authorities here, that a man had been robbed of property to a large amount, hut that he had not left his address at the ofhVo. and at Dresent tbev had no means of brineiinr him forward.

It appeared that the prisoner had" been employed as townsman and collector for Mr. Joseph Bennett, calico printer, of Garrison, near Now Mills, and had an oftice at No. 7, Charlotte-street, in this town. It was his duty to to get the prisoner's account of tho sums receded. A few weeks ago, circumstances transpired which led Mr.

Bennett M'Mullon and Mayhury went in search of the prisoner, who was apprehended on Monday evening, near the warehouse in Charlotto-street. Tho only sum of which payment was proved, was 276. 17s. on the Gth of November, by Mr. Moss, of which the prisoner had only accounted for 250.
