The further consideration of the subject was deferred until the Spring assizes. The Northumberland grand jury deferred the survey of Morpeth gaol until the next sessions. A few days ago, Mrs. BELL, a widow woman in Annan, went into a meadow to milk her cow, when another cow, with horns, which was grazing in the same meadow, ran at her, threw her down, and was in the act goring her, when her own cow, which was at a distance, came running up, attacked the horned cow with great fury, and effectually succeeded not only in relieving, but, in all probability, saving the life of her mistress. On Saturday last, a fine boy of the name of FORSYTH, son of a shoemaker in Dumfries, was drowned while bathing in the river, opposite the Green Sands.
