DEATH OF ALEXANDER JOHNSTON, ESQ., OF SHIELDHALL, M.P.-We regret to announce this melancholy event, which took place at Rothesay, on Thursday. During the last twelve months, the health of Mr. JOHNSTON was frequently in a precarious siate [sic]; but he had improved so much since the beginning of the present year, that he was able to resume his duties in Parliament in March last, and to continue his attendance in the House of Commons, till the commencement of the Easter holidays. About three weeks ago, he determined to visit Rothesay, and hopes were at first entertained of his complete recovery in this salubrious spot; but within the last few days, these hopes became gradually fainter, and Thursday week closed his mortal career. Mr. JOHNSTON was an enterprising and successful merchant, and was for several years an influential member of the Glasgow Town Council and River Trust. In his politics he was thoroughly liberal, and by his natural shrewdness, intelligence, and business habits, did good service to the cause to which he was attached. In 1841, he was elected Member of Parliament for Kilmarnock; and although he did not speak often in the House of Commons, we have reason to know that he was always listened to with respect. Mr. JOHNSTON was born 1790, and was therefore in the 54th year of his age. His death, of course, creates a vacancy in the representation of the Kilmarnock burghs.

Saturday 04 May 1844 (p. 3, col. 4) INQUESTS. ----- Before W. CARRICK, Esq., Coroner. At the Jovial Hatters, Court Square, Carlisle, on the 20th ult., to inquire into the circumstances connected with the death of Mary, the wife of Fergus MERINER, aged 41 years.—It appeared that the deceased went to the house of Mrs. TURNER, landlady of the Hope and Anchor Public-house, in the same Square, on Monday, the 10th of April, early in the forenoon, in a state of intoxication. After lying upon the settle two or three hours, she went up stairs and joined a party of females who were comforting themselves with a few gills of undiluted rum, of which beverage deceased partook rather freely. Between eight and nine o'clock she left the room to go down stairs. In descending, she fell to the floor of the kitchen, her head doubled below her body. She was taken up quite insensible, and placed upon a chair. At this moment Mrs. TURNER came home, and after letting off a tirade of abuse against the poor unfortunate woman, seized her by the neck, and shook her violently. As soon as Mrs. TURNER quitted her hold, the deceased fell forward from the chair, her brow struck the stone floor, giving her a wound on the forehead, from which blood flowed freely. The deceased was then carried home, and put to bed, and a medical gentleman called in. She lingered until the 19th, when she died. During the examination on the first day, the husband of the deceased came into the inquest room, and in an excited state applied to the coroner to have the body opened, that it might be clearly ascertained what was the cause of death—adding, that she had been murdered. The coroner replied that he was quite willing to comply with his request, and forthwith issued his order for a post mortem examination, and in the meantime the inquiry was adjourned to last Saturday—on which day it was resumed, when it appeared that the fourth vertebræ of the neck had been fractured, from the effects of which she had died. After a lengthened investigation, the jury returned a verdict of Accidental Death, by a fall down stairs.—At Pelutho, Abbey Holme, on the 27th ult., on the body of Robert CHAMBERS, aged two years, son of Mr. CHAMBERS, who was drowned in a midden pant, outside of the farm yard. He had not been from the house more than five minutes, when search was made, and in half an hour he was found quite dead. Verdict, from drowning by accident. On Thursday afternoon, on a boy, in the employment of Mr. William GILKERSON, of Beaumont, who was killed by falling from a cart He was discovered quite dead a few minutes after the accident had taken place. The jury returned a verdict of Accidental Death. Before J. LEE, Esq., Deputy Coroner. On the 20th ult., at Clog Hall, Alston, on the body of Mary Ann HARDY, aged eleven months. She was found dead in bed. Verdict, Natural Death. Before G. THOMPSON, Esq., Coroner for Westmoreland. On Monday last, an inquest was held at the house of Richard LOADMAN, Little Musgrave, Westmoreland, on view of the body of William, infant son of Bridget LOADMAN. Deceased was a natural child, and since its birth had had but very delicate health. On the Sunday night previous to the inquest he went to bed as usual with his mother, and on the following morning was found dead in bed, and a verdict to that effect was returned.

GLEANINGS. FALSE TEETH. A Newark husband brought home a hunk of molasses candy for his wife the other evening. His wife wears false teeth. The candy was of an adhesive nature. She helped herself to a generous hunk, and planted both rows of teeth in it. There they remained. Strenuous were her efforts to release them, but she was not successful. She wanted her mouth free that she might say something to him. She wanted to say something to him that the candy not only prevented, but the tone of which, from its prominent quality, it destroyed. But she could not get her jaws apart. Then she went to the sink, and dropped the whole mass, teeth and candy, into a basin. Again she looked at him as if she were on the point of saying something he would be interested in; but every effort was broken up and destroyed by the orphaned jaws. Imagine a woman - a direct descendent of Eve - in such a fix. Think of the mighty thoughts surging and battling through her brain; think of the torrent of eloquence bursting from her throat with a roar, and striking out into the air a vapour; think of the blazing eyes, the distended nostrils, the trembling frame, the nervous hands ! Picture her thus, tearing the miserable candy from her glistening teeth, and comprehend, if you can, O man, the velocity with which the freed teeth were slapped into their place, and with which that wretched man subdued his merriment, and tore out of that house.

GLEANINGS. THE LATE PRINCE CONSORT AND THE COOK. During one of the earlier visits of the Royal Family to Balmoral, PRINCE ALBERT, dressed in a very simple manner, was crossing one of the Scotch lakes in a steamer, and was curious to note everything relating tot he management of the vessel, and among other things, the cooking. Approaching the "galley" where a brawny Highlander was attending to the culinary matters, he was attracted by the savoury odours of a compound known by Scotchmen as "hodge-podge", which the Highlander was preparing. "What is that?" asked the Prince, who was not known to the cook. "Hodge-podge sir" was the reply. "How is it made?" was the next question. "Why there's mutton intil't, and turnips intil't, and carrots intil't, and........" "Yes, yes" said the Prince who had not learnt that 'intil't" meant "in it" expressed by the contraction "intil't" ; "but what is intil't?" "Why, there's mutton intil't, and turnips intil't, and carrots intil't, and.................." "Yes, I can see ; but what is 'intil't?" The man looked at him, and seeing that the Prince was serious, he replied..... "There's mutton intil't, and turnips intil't and......" "Yes, certainly, I know," urged the inquirer; but what is 'intil't'...'intil't'?" "Why" yelled the Highlander, brandishing his big spoon, "am I na tellin' ye what's intil't ? There's mutton intil't, and......." Here the interview was brought to a close by one of the Prince's suite, who, fortunately passing, stepped in to explain matters to the Highlander, who opened his mouth with stupid wonder at the possibility that a wise man like himself should not at once have known that it was the Prince. ____________________________________________________________ barb, ontario, canada.

GLEANINGS. MEATY-LOOKING PEOPLE. The brilliant complexion of English people is doubtless largely attributable to the damp air which shows its influence upon Americans who reside here. As to the origin of the very plump, meaty-looking muscles that so often characterises middle-aged men and women, particularly the less refined ranks of life, I am not quite certain. Ireland and Scotland have the same climate, but the physical aspect of the people is about half-way between that of America and England. We might attribute it to race, and look over to the Teutons on the other side of the channel; but unfortunately for this, the members of the Society of Friends exhibit almost nothing of this English peculiarity, and yet they stand high when ranked according to health. I am disposed to believe it is due to the heavy beer and wine which the Friends, Irish, and Scotch, use more sparingly than the average English people.

PENRITH BOARD OF HEALTH. The usual fortnightly meeting of this Board was held on Saturday last. Present: MESSRS. JAMES GRAHAM (chairman), G. GOODBURN, W. LYNN, B. T. SWEETEN, J. PATTINSON, J. SIMPSON, J. R. BARRON, C. FAIRER (clerk) and J. TODD (surveyor) FINANCIAL POSITION OF THE BOARD. The Chairman said the Clerk had gone through the accounts of the Board for the past year, and although no final balance could be shown, the state of the finance from an approximate estimate, was such as to induce the Finance Committee to recommend the paying of £ 407 18s. 6d., owing to MESSRS. HARRISON and LITTLE, solicitors, on account of the trial with MR. CLARKE, as to the right of water in the Eamont. The balance in favour of the Board was about £ 1,433, and the legal expenses above referred to, and the cost for the repairs to the water wheel would absorb about one-half of this sum; but there would still be sufficient left to tide the Board over until the new rate was laid for the current year. In reply to MR. LYNN, the Clerk said that the arbitrator had reduced the account of MESSRS. HIND, ironfounders, Carlisle, by £ 32 18s., and he added that he had received a letter from those gentlemen in which they said...."We are quite sure your Board have acted in this matter from a sense of public duty; but we deem it due to ourselves to say that should they need our services on any future occasion, we will require an undertaking on their part to pay such rates as may be agreed on beforehand, as we will not again place ourselves in a position which gives the Board the advantage of making a bargain after the work is done." MR. GOODBURN: That, I think, implies a censure upon the Board. MR. SIMPSON: Yes, and it's rather a novel idea that we should enter into a contract pay whatever they have in mind to charge, before the work is begun. - The recommendation of the Finance Committee was agreed to. THE SANITARY STATE OF PENRITH. The report of DR. ROBERTSON, the medical officer of health, circulated at last meeting amongst the members of the Board, came on for consideration to-day; but as there was nothing definitively stated in the report with which the Board could grapple, after a long conversation on the advisability of a house to house inspection, the further consideration of the subject was adjourned until the end of next month. THE AGRICULTURAL SCALES. MR. PATTINSON moved that notice be given to the Penrith Agricultural Society that the agricultural scales which they at present rented from the Board at a nominal sum, be given up at Whitsuntide, 1875. It appeared that the scales were let by the Society at something like £ 5 a year, and MR. PATTINSON said he should propose that the sum should be given as a subscription by the Board. MR. SIMPSON seconded the motion, which was carried. INCREASED CHARGES UPON ITINERANT SHOWMEN. Upon the application of the lesees of the markets and tolls, the following rates of charges were agreed upon: For hobby-horses propelled by steam, 10s. for the first day, and 5s. for each succeeding day; and for those propelled by hand or swing, 2s. for the first day, and 1s. for each succeeding day until removed. Persons selling by auction, otherwise than local auctioneers, from cart, stall, or bench, and "hand sellers" to be charged 2s. 6d. for each market day. The remainder of the business was unimportant. _________________________________________________________________ barb, ontario, canada.

Saturday 04 May 1844 (p. 3, col. 6) GRETNA GREEN MARRIAGES.-At a meeting of the synod of the Presbyterian Church of England, held at Berwick on Friday week, in the course of a conversation it was stated that about 150 irregular marriages were formed in the neighbourhood of Berwick, and 500 at Gretna Green annually. It was agreed to draw up a Pastoral Letter, in which among other things, the subject of Irregular Marriages should be noticed, with the view of endeavouring to put them down.

Saturday 04 May 1844 (p. 3, col. 2-4) SHOCKING ACCIDENT.—EXPLOSION OF A LOCOMOTIVE BOILER.—On Wednesday morning last great alarm was created in the Station yard of the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway, at London Road, near this city, by the explosion of the boiler of the Adelaide locomotive engine. The engine had just arrived in the station-yard, with a train of empty coal waggons from the Canal Basin, and having taken in a supply of coke, the engine-driver, Wm. SIMPSON, was about to start forward when suddenly a terrific noise was heard, and the whole train became enveloped in a dense cloud of steam and smoke. On examination it was found that owing to some cause not yet precisely ascertained, the upper part of the fire box of the engine had burst, and that with such tremendous force had the steam rushed forth, that it had lifted the engine bodily from the rails to a distance of eighteen inches, and striking the engine-man between the legs and on the lower part of the body, had thrown him backwards a distance of several yards, and he was found at the bottom of the fourth coal waggon from the tender! The stoker, Peter SHORT, who was standing on the top of the coke in the tender was thrown into the first coal waggon. When the engine-man was discovered he was insensible, and it was found that the lower part of his body was dreadfully scalded, his head much bruised, by striking against the sides of a coal-waggon, and several contusions about his face. The stoker, though severely injured, was not dangerously so. No time was lost in having SIMPSON removed home and medical assistance provided. In the course of two hours he became sensible, but had no knowledge of how the accident had occurred. This (Friday) morning he is considered to be going on favourably, but cannot be pronounced out of danger. The stoker is rapidly recovering.—SIMPSON, who is a careful, steady man, and well acquainted with his business, says the engine was "priming" when he passed the Dalston-road, which is only a few hundred yards from where the explosion took place, and therefore the supply of water must have been abundant. The most likely cause of the accident, however, is a deficiency of water. A FOUNDLING.—Late on the night of Thursday evening week, the maid of Richard LAW, Esq., of Law's Lane, while engaged in some household affairs, heard a cry, outside the door, as if of an infant, and straightway went to ascertain whence it proceeded. On opening the door she found, lying on the step, a beautiful child, neatly dressed, and there being no one in sight who claimed it, she gently raised it in her arms and carried it into the house of her master who after giving directions for its careful custody, sent her in search of the mother whose quiver had been overburdened with "little responsibilities." The woman was nowhere to be found; so the unconscious "wee thing" was carefully tended and nursed until the parish officers were apprised of the discovery of a foundling. It was then conveyed to the workhouse, there to remain till some clue to its unnatural mother can be obtained. A handbill has been issued offering a reward to any person who will give such information as may lead to the detection of the mother of the child, which is described as "between two and three months old, of fair complexion, and has been lately vaccinated, dressed in a long pink frock, and a cap turned up with white silk, and edged with swan's down; a parcel pinned in a linen cloth was left with it, containing a small quantity of child's wearing apparel." CHILD MURDER.—On Tuesday morning last, as two children were passing along the footpath on the east side of the river Eden, about 150 yards below Armathwaite Bridge, they observed the body of a female child lying about three yards from the land in six inches water. They mentioned the circumstance to an elder brother, who, accompanied by a neighbour, proceeded to the spot, and had it removed to the house of Mr. Richd. CHAPMAN, Red Lion Inn. The child appeared to have been about five months old, and had no covering, except a cap and shift. An inquest was held the same evening, before Mr. CARRICK. After the Jury had been sworn and had examined the body, the depositions of witnesses were taken, after which a post mortem examination was made by Mr. GILL, and Mr. BROWN, surgeons.—The inquest was then adjourned till Monday next, to allow the parish authorities time to institute inquiries after the mother of the child. It has been ascertained that a female passed eastward, across Armathwaite Bridge, on Monday evening, carrying a child, and that person, answering her description, was afterwards, between 10 and 11 o'clock, seen returning towards Armathwaite, bearing a child who was crying. An advertisement has been issued by Mr. HARRISON, of Ainstable, the guardian and overseer of the parish, offering a reward of £5 for the discovery of the guilty party, and as the Carlisle police are making an active search, it is to be hoped that justice will not be defeated. In the interval the corpse remains at the Red Lion Inn, to be seen by any one who can give any information connected with this mysterious case. SINGULAR EPITAPHS.—In some of the church yards in this county, the virtues and peculiarities of the deceased are recorded in epitaphs not a little remarkable—either for their quaintness or the singularity of the objects of distinction thought worthy of being thus celebrated. In Wetheral church-yard, for instance, we find the following:— "To the memory of George SCOTT, of Coat-hill, who departed this life, May 15th, 1773, aged 16 years. "In this vain world short was my stay "And empty was my laughter,— "I go before to lead the way, "And thou comes jogging after." ----- "To the memory of Deborah, wife of George LITTLE, of Watch Cross, who died march 3rd, 1840, aged 63 years. She died the mother of 15 children, 14 of whom followed her remains to the grave, the other one being in the Isle of Man." ----- The following is to the memory of Mr. JARDINE of, Duncowfold:— "Tho' underneath this stone I be not laid, "Yet, I have the last debt of nature paid; "In death my body rests, 'neath Scotia's sod, "Whilst my soul, I hope, doth live with God." FATAL COLLIERY ACCIDENT.—On Friday, three deputies went down the pit at Friars Goose, near Gateshead, to keep the workings in proper condition; and at noon, three others went down to relieve them. The former were not, however, at the bottom of the shaft, as they ought to have been. Search was therefore made for them; and they were at length discovered in a part of the pit under Byker Hill, on the opposite side of the Tyne. They had been seated on a rolley, to which an ass was harnessed, when they were buried by a fall of stone from the roof. Five hours elapsed before they were got out; and one of them (whose name we have not learned) had to assist in his own liberation, by sawing through a block of stone! Another named William RIDLEY, was dreadfully crushed, and is hardly expected to recover. The third, John CALDWELL—(a married man with a family)—was killed. Such are the hazards to which our coal-miners are continually exposed.—Gateshead Observer.

Alasdair Buidhe was at a wedding some years ago, when a miserly gentlemen observed that "the bards were extinct." "No," said Alasdair, "but those who rewarded them are gone!"
