Crimes and Casualties.
SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCE -- CORONER'S INQUEST ON THE BODY OF A MURDERED MAN, UNKNOWN. -- On Sunday last some boys, while amusing themselves on Gleniff mountain, saw a number of ravens picking what they conceived to be a sheep, but on approaching proved to be the skeleton of a man. The discovery of this body produced some interest in the neighbourhood, as a man named Rooney had been missing for a month past, and a quarrel having taken place between him and his two sons about some money dealings, they were suspected by the neighbours of murdering their father. A coroner's inquest was held before Alexander Burrows, Esq., and the jury returned a verdiet, that the deceased came to his death by unnatural means, caused by some person or persons at present unknown. -- Sligo Journal.
INSURRECTION IN WALES. -- LLANON, Thursday, Aug. 21. -- The outrages, from being confined to turnpike gates, have now spread to the wanton destruction of private property, and the endangerment of human life. In the night of Tuesday, or early yesterday morning, the village of Llanon and the surrounding neighbourhood was the seene of an outrage of the most daring character. Between eleven and twelve o'clock, on Tuesday night, the inhabitants of Llanon were alarmed by the shouts of an immense body of the Rebeccaites, consisting of, as I am informed, about five hundred persons, who passed through the village. The majority of them had women's clothes on, or shirts over their dresses, and the whole of them were disguised, by having their faces blackened; the leader, or "Rebecca," being mounted on a horse, which, contrary to the ordinary usage was not a white one, but a bay, or some other dark colour -- she was dressed in white. Nearly all the party were armed with guns, which they repeatedly fired in their progress through the village. Several horns were also in full play, and a number of rockets fired. There was also a kind of carriage in the procession, the lamps of which shed a lustre over a portion of the crowd, and lighted the apartments of many of the inhabitants, who were afraid to leave their bed-rooms, and enabled them to obtain a better view of the procession. When the party arrived near the end of the village, where one road leads to Pontardulais highway, and the other towards Llanelly, Rebecca, who had previously given several orders, cried out "silence!" when the party immediately left off firing guns and blowing horns. They then determined upon taking the llanelly road, which also leads to Gellywernen, the house of Mr. Edwards, agent to Mr. Rees Goring Thomas, who is lay impropriator of the tithes of the parish. Several gun-shots were fired in succession into the bed-room. Nearly all the apple-trees, wall-fruit trees, plants, and herbs of different kinds, were entirely destroyed, being cut to pieces, or torn up from the roots. Either simultaneously with these depredations, or soon after they were committed, a party of the desperadoes proceeded to the house of William Bassett, the gamekeeper, who resided in a cottage, in a wood, a short distance from Gellywernen-house, and discharged a gun or pistol, containing powder only, nearly into the face of the wife, who had a child, which was slightly wounded, in her arms at the time. They then broke the clock, a very good one. an old pier-glass. which had been her arms at the time. They then broke the clock, a very good one, an old pier-glass, which had been handed down for several generations, the chairs, tables, and all the little furniture the poor people possessed. They also carried away the gamekeeper's gun, and 10s. or 12s. worth of powder and shot; and previously to leaving, took from the drawers all the clothes of the family, which were torn, trodden upon, and partly burnt. They then left the place, after firing several times. -- Correspondent of London Times.
ATTEMPT TO BURN THE THURLES POOR-HOUSE. -- In passing through Thurles on Tuesday last, I learned that, on Sunday night, a most wicked attempt was made to set fire to the Thurles Poor-House. It appears that near the house or adjoining it there is a large store-house full of turf, and some villain, who got over the outer wall, set fire to it, and, only it was providentially perceived by a pauper, who alarmed the house, the inmates of the building and the structure would have been destroyed. -- Correspondent of the Nenagh Guardian.
BRUTAL ATTACK. -- On the morning of Sunday last, about the hour of two o'clock, a party of twelve fellows, armed with guns, pistols, and "alpeens," came to the dwelling-house of a poor man named John Carrol, at Newhall, in this county; they demanded admittance, which was refused, when they smashed in the door and windows with stones, by which they effected an entrance. On entering, they broke every particle of furniture in the unfortunate man's cabin; they then dragged Carrol out of his bed, and brought him into his lawn, where they fell upon him and beat him in a most brutal manner, inflicting several severe wounds upon his head and different parts of his body. While doing so, his wife rushed from her bed into the lawn, and threw herself on the body of her husband, exclaiming "murder me but save him!" This touching appeal was unheeded, for the villains soon laid her prostrate, and bruised her body very severely. While they were beating the wife, Carroll ran off, but his assailants followed him, and with unrelenting vigour and hellish perseverance again knocked the unfortunate man down, and continued to beat him with their murderous weapons. One of the wretches cried out, "Shoot the fellow and have done with him." Carroll now appeared insensible, and one of the party, in reply to the other, said, "He's finished," no doubt imagining that they had fully completed their design -- namely, that of murder. They then left their victim, and, after some time, Carroll crawled to a neighbouring house, where he was found by his friends, on the following morning, in a very dangerous state, and he still lies confined to his bed under the care of a doctor. No cause can be assigned for this very daring outrage, but that it was suspected Carroll gave some information about timber that was stolen from his master.
A letter from Southampton reports the death of Mr. Barlow Hoy, the former member for the borough; who was killed in an accident, while shooting abroad.
The execution of Charles Higginson, who has been lying under sentence of death in Stafford county prison, for the horrible murder of his child by burying him alive, took place on Saturday morning the 28th instant. Higginson, for several days atter his condemnation, was in a very hardened and incorrigible state of mind; but the Rev. R. Buckeridge, the chaplain, succeeded at length in making some impression upon him. He acknowledged the justice of his sentence, and was sensible of his awful condition. Although a man of obtuse intellect, he appeared to have received a tolerably good plain education. He could read well, and could refer to any passage of Scripture in a moment.
MURDER OF COLONEL STODDART AND CAPTAIN CONOLLY. -- The Times publishes a narrative by an Akoondzadeh, the son of one of the principal persons at Herat, of whose veracity Colonel Sheil, the British Consul at Teheran, judges favourably, and who states that he was in Bokhara when Colonel Stoddart and Captain Conolly were executed by order of the King; for he says that they actually were killed. The precise motive for the execution does not appear; but the circumstances immediately attending it are thus described:-- "On Tuesday [the 12th of June] at night, their quarters were entered by several men, who stripped them, and carried them off to prison; but I do not know whether it was to the black well or some other. In stripping Colonel Stoddart, a lead pencil was found in the lining of his coat, and some papers in his waist. These were taken to the Ameer, who gave orders that Colonel Stoddart should be beaten with heavy sticks until he disclosed who brought the papers, and to whom he wrote. He was most violently beaten, but he revealed nothing. He was beaten repeatedly for two or three days. On Friday the 8th or 9th (the 7th) of Jemmadee-ool-Eovel (17th of June), the Ameer gave orders that Colonel Stoddart should be killed, in the presence of Captain Conolly, who was to be offered life if he should become a Mahomedan. In the afternoon they were taken outside the prison into the street, which is a kind of small square. Their hands were tied across in front. Many people assembled to behold the spectacle. Their grases were dug before their eyes. Colonel Stoddart exclaimed aloud at the cruelty and tyranny of the Ameer. His head was then cut off with a knife. The chief executioner then turned to Captain Conolly, and said, 'The Ameer spares your life if you will become a Mussulman.' Captain Conolly answered, 'Colonel Stoddart has been a Mussulman for three years, and you have killed him -- you killed Yoosoof too -- I will not be a Mussulman, and I am ready to die.' Saying which he stretched forth his neck. His head was then cut off. Their bodies were interred in the graves which had been dug; and I myself have seen the spot and the small hillocks which mark the place. One of the executioners gave me the foregoing relation; and, moreover, he offered to bring me the heads, if I chose, that I might take them with me; but I refused this offer."
ACCIDENT TO LORD LYNEDOCH. -- On Thursday last, this venerable nobleman met with rather a serious accident. Though now in his 94th year, his Lordship is a keen sportsman; and, while following his favourite amusement on horseback, in the Edzell Hills, near Brechin, Forfarshire, on Monday, the pony on which he was riding wheeled suddenly round, on the discharge of his fowling piece, whereby his Lordship was thrown to the ground with considerable violence. His Lordship was immediately taken to his shooting quarters, which, by advice of Dr. Guthrie of Brechin, he the same day left for his seat in Perthshire, where, it is to be hoped, he will soon recover.

RAMSGATE, August 24. -- A part of the 1st Dragoon Guards, consisting of sixty-four men and thirty-two horses, landed on the pier yesterday from Halifax, in the ship Lloyde, of London. They were all in fine condition, and seemed rejoiced to tread their native land again after an absence of five years. The horses were led to the fine sands, where it was amusing to see them one and all rolling themselves in the sand, and kicking up their heels with delight, after a long voyage at sea.
The Navy.
THE IRISH SQUADRON. -- CORK, Thursday. -- The Volage, 26, Captain Sir Wm. Dickson, and the Lynx, 3, brigantine, Lieutenant-Commander Godolphin J. Burslem, arrived from Plymouth on Sunday. The Cyclops, 6, steam-frigate, Captain H. T. Austin, C.B., and the Myrtle, 1, steamer, after conveying provisions to Tarbert, also came into harbour on the same day. The Modeste, 18, commander Thomas Bailie, at Sheerness, and the Pilot, 16, Commander W. H. Jervis, at Plymouth, were paid advanced wages last week. They will shortly proceed to this harbour, where they will remain for some time before taking their departure for China. Several of the vessels which composed the Irish squadron, and which left a short time since to be in attendance on her Majesty, who is expected to visit Plymouth in a few days, will, after that auspicious event, again return to Cove to take up their stations. The Pilot arrived yesterday, at which time the Cyclops left for Dublin.

PILLAU, August 7. -- Within the last few days several ships have arrived; but, before that period, partly owing to the scarcity of ships, and the aversion to paying higher freights, there was very little business done.

THE "GREAT NORTHERN" STEAMSHIP. -- The Morning Herald contains an article highly laudatory of this gigantic vessel, which was built at this port by Mr. Coppin, and now lies in the East India Import Dock, London. The Herald says that "she has been visited by a great number of gentlemen connected with her Majesty's navy, Mr. Lloyd, the principal engineer of Woolwich Dockyard, and other scientific men, who have been pleased to speak of her qualities in the most favourable terms." Our London contemporary proceeds to give a minute description of her dimensions, build, stowage, &c., and then says that "her engines have recently undergone great alterations and improvements, at an expense of £4,000, and it is believed that, when completed, she will stand with few competitors or rivals." An experimental trip was to take place in the course of a week or ten days, after which she is to make a voyage to Calcutta. -- Derry Sentinel.

THE PACKET STATION, SOUTHAMPTON. -- The Peninsular and Oriental and the Royal Mail steam-packet Companies have received official communications from the Government that the mails will, in future, be put on board at this port, instead of Falmouth, and the arrangement will be carried into effect on the 1st of October; the mails will be put on board on the arrival Of the train at midnight, with liberty for the vessel to remain till daylight on the 2d, if the tide or weather makes it desirable. -- Shipping Gazette.

NAUTICAL LIFE-PRESERVER. -- We understand that Mr. F. Taylor, wright, in Leith, has invented a deck chair, which is so constructed that, in an instant, it can be converted into a life-preserver, something resembling a boat, entirely water-tight, and incapable of sinking. The chair or seat is twenty-four inches long, by eighteen inches broad, when used as such; but, when converted into a life-preserver, it is about forty-three inches long, and is propelled by two small oars, fixed on pivots. Mr. Taylor has made several successful experiments with his new invention. On Saturday last he went to the eastern point of the Black Rocks, and remained there until floated off by the tide, when he paddled himself safely ashore below Bath Street. An individual having been descried on the rocks, several boats put out from Leith to his rescue, when they were nearly covered; but Mr. Taylor refused their assistance, and came on shore in very good style, which showed his confidence in the principles on which his invention is constructed. -- Caledonian Mercury.

THE IRISH MAGISTRACY. -- There is a rumour abroad, which, though possibly it may be without foundation, is not so incredible as to be rejected altogether. For our own part, we can detect nothing improbable in it, "seeing what we have seen -- seeing what we see." It is to this effect -- that the Government, not being at all satisfied with the removals and dismissals which have hitherto taken place from the magistracy, on the ground of the parties having attended Repeal meetings and dinners, has determined to call upon all persons holding the commission to avow their opinions and sentiments upon this question, and that the opportunity of doing so will be afforded them, when they shall receive a "circular," which is to be issued immediately, and in which certain questions will be put, which are expected to be promptly and categorically answered, without evasion or circumlocution, but with a plain downright Yes or No. -- Cork Reporter.

REGISTRY OF ARMS. -- We understand that the arms of the yeomanry are to be registered through the respective commanding officers, instead of sending the men to sessions for the purpose. The sub-inspectors of police are to have a list of the yeomen who are provided with arms -- a plan that will prevent improper persons passing themselves for yeomen if found with arms by the constabulary. -- Newry Telegraph.

On Thursday se'ennight, the annual dinner was given to the children of the schools on the estate of the Earl of Roden, in the neighbourhood of Tollymore Park. About 360 children were regaled with abundance of roast beef and plum pudding. The arrangements were made with the accustomed regularity, and secured for the children a happy day. A large assemblage of spectators, including several of the gentry from Newry, Rosstrevor, Newcastle, and the adjoining district, were in attendance at an early hour; and, from the unusual fineness of the day, it seemed as if the heavens smiled upon a scene which beamed with a blessing from on high. Lord Roden (as always where duty calls him) was at his post. Lady Roden, whose presence cheered and enlivened the hearts by whom she is so enthusiastically beloved; Lord Jocelyn and Lady Jocelyn, with the several members of this estimable family, attended throughout as "lords and ladies in waiting." Never was a company more assiduously waited upon. After dinner a hymn was sung with touching sweetness, and the noble Earl delivered a short affectionate address to the children, who were then permitted to walk through the pleasure grounds of the demesne before returning to their homes. How truly valuable in this day of apostacy, to have one so faithful, so true to his country and his God, as the Earl of Roden. -- Evening Mail.
Eleven drays arrived here yesterday from Dublin, laden with provisions for the barracks. Stores for six months are to be laid in and held over in case of siege.

The provisions consisted of pickled pork and beef, with biscuit and rum. -- Westmeath Guardian.
THE ATMOSPHERIC RAILWAY. -- One trip was made yesterday with the usual success. The train consisted of five carriages, three third, and two second-class, with the piston carriage. The passenger carriages were filled with ladies and gentlemen, who were highly pleased with the trip, short as it was. After the train had passed the open pipe, the small beam connected with the parallel motion of the steam-engine broke down, owing to a flaw in the casting, and the further operations had to be suspended for the day.
