 Guard, which he lived so brief a time to 

 enjoy, was a relative of T. A. Knight, esq., 

 of Downton Castle. His exertions in the 

 late glorious struggle are supposed to have 

 hastened his death ( Worcester Herald. ) 



MONTHLY PROVINCIAL OCCURRENCES. 



NORTHUMBERLAND At the lat- 

 ter end of last week, an inquest was held at 

 Morpeth, on the body of an Italian named 

 Baptiste Bernard, one of the attendants on 

 the elephant now performing at the theatre- 

 royal here. This man, in a state of intoxi- 

 cation, three years ago, stabbed the trunk 

 of the noble beast with a pitchfork, and 

 otherwise ill-used her, and there has never 

 been any cordiality between them since ; 

 she always regarded him with cross looks, 

 but had never a fair opportunity of tak- 

 ing her revenge until they passed through 

 Morpeth, when he happening to be alone 

 with her, she grasped him round the waist 

 with her trunk, broke his ribs, and crushed 

 him so much that he vomited blood, and 

 died two days afterwards. The verdict was 

 accidental death, with a deodand of 5*. 

 Having gratified her long cherished revenge, 

 she appears to have resumed her good tem- 

 per. Newcastle Courant, Sept. 4. 



A meeting was lately held at Newcastle 

 in the Guildhall (presided by the mayor), 

 " to attest the sympathy of Englishmen 

 with the cause of liberty in France," when 

 resolutions were unanimously passed to that 

 effect, one of them stating, " the French 

 people deserve the gratitude of all Europe, 

 and of this country in particular." (A si- 

 milar meeting was also lately held a little 

 farther north (Glasgow, presided by the 

 Lord Provost) to the same effect ; at the 

 .termination of which four huzzas were given 

 for the French cause, and three for King 

 William ! ) 



. LANCASHIRE The opening of the 

 Liverpool railway took place Sept. 15, and 

 the number of persons congregated was im- 

 mense. The Duke of Wellington, with 

 the Austrian and Russian Ambassadors, 



: and a long train of noble personages, 

 assembled on the occasion in the respective 



carriages, which were of every variety and 

 form, amounting to 28, and affording ac- 

 commodation to nearly 800 persons form- 

 ing a spectacle of an interest unparalleled, 

 and calling forth sublime conceptions of the 

 mind and energies of man. The ceremony 

 passed off in the most complete manner 

 until it was awfully signalized by the most 

 distressing and singular catastrophe of the 

 death of Mr. Huskisson, the celebrated and 

 Right Hon. representative of Liverpool; 

 who, in endeavouring to re-ascend the car, 

 missed his footing and fell, and was ridden 

 over by another car (the Rocket), which 

 crushed his leg and thigh, and fractured 

 them in so dreadful a manner as to cause 

 his death in the course of the evening of 

 the same day. This melancholy event 

 threw a gloom over the whole of the in- 

 tended rejoicings for this magnificent under- 

 taking. 



On Sunday, August 22, great indignation 

 was created by the refusal of the Vicar of 

 Dean, near Bolton-le-Moors, to bury a 

 corpse when the body was conveyed to the 

 Independent Methodist's chapel, in Bolton, 

 (a distance of two miles !) where it was in- 

 terred, and the service performed by one of 

 the "unpaid" ministers of that body ! ! ! 

 About 1000 people were assembled ! A 

 riot was expected, but all was very peace- 

 able ; a county magistrate (Capt. Kerdy) 

 however, remained on the ground the whole 

 of the time ! ! ! Lincoln and Stamford 

 Mercury, Sept. 3. 



A meeting of the projectors of the Shef- 

 field and Manchester Railway was held at 

 Liverpool, Aug. 26, when a prospectus of 

 the proposed undertaking was read, and a 

 committee appointed for the pnrpose of tak- 

 ing the necessary measures for carrying the 

 object of the meeting into effect. The pros- 

 pectus has since been made public. Pro- 

 posed capital 600,000, in 100 shares.
