Two years ago, a woman in limbo would have been an unheard of occurrence, and doubtless many liberal hearts and generous dispositions would have paid the fine, rather than to see the gentler sex reduced to such an extremity. But now it is a common affair, and the sex is always represented in the motley crew that have been guilty of an infraction of the law. One of them, known as Susannah, is a perfect o pher, and appears to enjoy herself fully as well as if she were ata wedding party. She is a mongrel Mexican, loves rum to distraction, intoxication. There is no use in fining or imprisoning her; just as sure as she is turned out, she will be picked up in less than five hours, in some fence corner, beastly drunk. She takes it all with great stoicism and fortitude, never letting such trifles disturb her equanimity or ruffle her temper. She keeps himself to the Watermen’s Company; shire, Lancashire. Cheshire, and Derbyanother relieved his parents from a distress for rent; and a father was enabled by the same means to come up to London and see the boy from whom he had been separated for years.

One truly awful calamity has occurred at the village of Holmfirth, near Huddersfield, by the overflow of a reservoir uscd for supplying the woollen mills and a number of the dwellings in the neighborhood, with water, and known as the Holme Reservoir. On Thursday morning, about one o'clock, it burst with a tremendous roar, and the water rushed down the valley with terrific force, carrying away an immense mill, built of stone, with all its heavy machinery, &c., several out~buildings, two rows of new buildings at Holmfirth, and part of the village of Hinchcliffe Mills. . Nearly all the inhabitants were al the time, and were swept to a pecs) fat distance, a number of bodies having been taken from the river and highly pleased and edified. fifteen miles fron the spot.

Two years ago, a woman in limbo would have been an unheard of occurrence, and doubtless many liberal hearts and generous dispositions would have paid the fine, rather than to see the gentler sex reduced to such an extremity. But now it is a common affair, and the sex is always represented in the motley crew that have been guilty of an infraction of the law. One of them, known as Susannah, is a perfect o pher, and appears to enjoy herself fully as well as if she were ata wedding party. She is a mongrel Mexican, loves rum to distraction, intoxication. There is no use in fining or imprisoning her; just as sure as she is turned out, she will be picked up in less than five hours, in some fence corner, beastly drunk. She takes it all with great stoicism and fortitude, never letting such trifles disturb her equanimity or ruffle her temper. She keeps himself to the Watermen’s Company; shire, Lancashire.

One truly awful calamity has occurred at the village of Holmfirth, near Huddersfield, by the overflow of a reservoir uscd for supplying the woollen mills and a number of the dwellings in the neighborhood, with water, and known as the Holme Reservoir. On Thursday morning, about one o'clock, it burst with a tremendous roar, and the water rushed down the valley with terrific force, carrying away an immense mill, built of stone, with all its heavy machinery, &c., several out~buildings, two rows of new buildings at Holmfirth, and part of the village of Hinchcliffe Mills. .
