MAITLAND DISTRICT COUNCIL.-Yesterday the
District Council met pursuant to adjournment
present, the Warden, Messrs. Evans, Yeomans,
and Kingsmill. The Warden announced that
the sum of £20 had been forwarded up by go-
vernment for the repairs of Wallia** Creek
Brin'gp. After a considerable discussion about
.the state of the Long Bridge, Wallis's Creek
Bridge, the road between Morpeth and Maitland,
and other places, the Council agreed to set men
and drays to work at once on the road between
Morpeth and Maitland, and Messrs. Yeomans
and Evans were appointed a committee to ex-
amine into the condition of the Long Bridge,
and inform the Council what was requisite to bo
done The Council also agreed to publish an
advertisement in the Mercury- (which will be
found in another column), «aliiwg for applica-
tions from persons desirous of employment for
themselves or their carts. The Council then
adjourned .to Tuesday, the 30th April, at eleven
o'clock.
THEATRICALS.-On Monday night Miss C.
Lee, the" infant phenomenon," took her benefit,
and was deservedly rewarded by a house crammed
to the ceiling, many persons being unable to
obtain admission. The performances went oif
?very welL the whole company playing well in
." Hawk-eye of the Long Rifle," and the capital
Eerformance of Mr. Lee's two dogs eliciting un
ounded applause. In the " Four Mowbrays"
the performance was slightly marred by one of
the parts being read instead of played, Mr.
Johnson being taken so unwell that he eould
not appear; Miss Lee, however, as the personator
of the four Mowbrays, played remarkably well,
amid continual applause. '"Tora Thnmb" was
very well played. Mrs. Norton sung "Jeanette
and Jeanottê" in excellent style. Mr. Lee's
"Billy Barlow's visit to California," with its
local hits, excited roars of laughter. Miss Lee
also came in for an abundant shower of coins
during he,r «Dance of all Rations.*'
. DEATH BT DROWNING.-An inquest has been
commenced at the Paterson before J. S. Parker,
Esq., Coroner, on the body of James Taylor, and
is adjourned till to-morrow. It appears that
Taylor was an old resident in the Paterson .
district, and a man of «onie means, having
recently purchased a house at Paterson. On
Saturday last he was at Paterson in company
with two other persons, named Kag and Jones,
and left the township in the evening with
them on horseback, taking three bottles of rum
with them, Rag being drunk, bnt the other two
sober ; at the schoolhouse, near Clark's cross-
ing-place, they stopped for some time, and had
a glass each from the second bottle of rum, one,
a ginger-bottle of rum, having been finished
before reaching there. When they left the
school-house Jones left in one direction, and
Taylor and Rag went on together towards the
regular crossing-place ; Rag afterwards reached
home safely, but nothing more was seen of
Taylor. On the following morning a resident
on the Allyn found an old horse in his corn, and
sent him on to Mr. Brown's, of Coulston, where
after some delay he was recognised by some
person as Taylor's horse. Search was now made
in the neighbourhood where the horse was found,
and the tracks of a horse were seen proceeding
from the crossing-place (which he had not
crossed) along the river bank throngh some
ground remarkably difficult from being thickly
covered with old fallen wood, and terminating at
the junction of the Paterson and Allyn Rivers.
Just at the junction there exists In the bed of
the river a singular deep hole, so deep that it is
popularly believed that it is bottomless, and it
is said that a kind of whirlpool motion is occa-
sionally observed in it ; this hole is only six or
eight feet in diameter, the whole bed, at this
dry season, being perhaps twenty feet or
more broad. After considerable search the
body of poor Taylor was discovered in this hole,
about fourteen feet below the surface, the wit-
nesses stated, but they were quite positivo that
there was no bottom a long distance below that.
No scratch or wound of any description was
found on Taylor's body, but there was nothing
to account for his getting into this hole, which
is well-known, and quite out of the regular
track, while his horse is stated to have taken
him safely home on more than one occasion
when Taylor was not in a state to find his own
way. Taylor's saddle was deeply scratched at
one place, as if his spur had dragged across it
as he came off.
ASSAULT.-Yesterday Patrick Joseph Phelan
appeared before the bench, charged with assault-
ing John Clement. Mr. Ward appeared for the
complainant, and Mr. Davies for the defendant.
It appeared from Mr Clement's evidence that
Mr. Phelan and himself on the evening of the
10th had some difference of opinion as to whose
right it was to adjust a business error, and that
on Mr. Clement insisting on Mr. Phelan's recti-
fying his own eiTor, Mr. Phelan came round to
him in a passion, and putting his fist in his
face, uttered some threat which Mr. Clement
could not distinctly remember ; Mr. Clement
said he must speak to some other person about
it, and Mr. Phelan repeated his fisticuff demon-
stration and his threat, but no blow was struck.
A witness named Louisa Morgan confirmed this
statement so far as regarded raising the fist,
bnt she heard no threat uttered. Mr. Davies
contended in defence that no assault was com-
mitted, even on Mr. Clement's own statement,
but he was instructed that that statement was
much exaggerated. The bench convict«! the
defendant, fining bim Is. and 5s, 6d costs.
MASTERS AXD SERVANTS ACT -Yesterday two
cases under this act came before the bench.
The first was James Clancy v Daniel White.
, Clancy stated that he had ploughed eleven days
for White at 6s. per week, and hail not Been
paid any money for it ; he admitted that White
had always paid him when he worked for bim on
previous occasions. White said in defence that
Clancy worked five days, and then went away
for three weeks ; he then returned and worked
for six days, and again left, and he did not
consider him entitled to wages as if he had
worked regularly on. The bench gave judgment
for Clancy for the amount claimed, Ms., with
costs.-The second case was Charles Saunders
Pitt v Michael Canavan. Mr. Pitt had on the
11th instant made an affidavit that Canavan,
who was his hired servant for twelve months,
had on the 9th instant got drunk, and then
left the house, and that he had not since
returned; a warrant was issued, and Canavan was
apprehended, but admitted to bail to appear yes-
terday; yesterday Mr. Pitt deposed that his
previons affidavit was correct, and that he wished
the agreement cancelled. Canavan was con-
victed of a breach of the agreement, all wages
coming to him ordered to be forfeited, and the
agreement to be cancelled.
SERIOUS ACCIDENT.-On Saturday a very seri-
ous accident happened to a man named Thomas
Tliomas, who is in the employ of Mr. Tage, of
Newcastle. Thomas and another man were
bringing down a load of wool for Mr. Reid, and
had got on Saturday to a short distance from
the \\hite Horse Inn, West Maitland, when
Thomas either tried to get down from the dray,
or slipped down from it, and unfortunately fell
in front of the wheel, which the next moment
went over his loins. He was picked up, and Dr
Scott was called in, and as soon as possible
Thomas was conveyed to the hospital, where he
has since remained. We were sorry to learn
yesterday that the lower extremities were quite
paralysed, and that the appearances were not
favorable to a hope of Thomas's eventual reco-
very.
A FURIOUS BULLOCK.-Yesterday afternoon
a bullock got loose from somewhere, and got
into High-street, and for nearly half an hour
he kept the street alive by his vagaries, charging
at several persons, whose agility was fortunately
equal to preserving their persons. One day
last week, between two and three in the after-
noon, a lot of about half a dozen cattle kept the
neighbourhood of Wallis's Creek Bridge in terror
by their obstinacy in refusing to pass over the
bridge, preferring excursion after excursion into
the neighbouring paddocks.
INDECENT LANGUAGE.-On Saturday Mary
Cott appeared before the bench, charged with
using obscene language in a public place in
Maitland; she pleaded guilty, and was fined
10s., or in default 14 days' imprisonment.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]-DEBILITY AND WEAK-
NESS.-EXTRAORDINARY CASE CURED BY HOL-
LOWAYS PILLS. - Mrs. Mitchell, of Bristol
road, Birmingham, was in that weakly state as
not to be able even to dress herself, besides
which there was a constant pain in the right
side, preventing her from lying on it ; she was
never free from head aches ; appetite and diges-
tion bad, and her spirits always greatly de;
pressed. Now this lady ere she* became so ex-
tremely ill, visited various watering places,
where she had the best medical advice, but her
case baffled the skill of all, and yet to the sur-
prise of her family and friends she is restored to
permanent health by the use of Holloway's
pills.
A CHILD DROWNED IN A TUB OP WATER.
Ii is reported that last week a child was
drowned in a tub of water. The parents it is
stated reside on the .Coulston estate, Gresford,
and one day they were both away from their
house for a short time, and when the mother
returned she was shocked to see her child rest-
ing in the tub, head downwards. On taking it
out she found it dead. We have not learnt
whether any enquiry took place about the sad
occurrence.
PUBLICANS' LICENSES. - Yesterday, at the
annual licensing meeting, the bench took oc-
casion to make two public notifications to pub-
licans. When the application of Mr. M'Neill,
for the Rose Inn, East Maitland, was read, the
bench said that an absent magistrate had for-
warded an objection to this house, because a
raffle for a watch had been held in it, he under-
stood; but that, as no objection was made to
the general conduct of the house, they thought
Mr. M'Neill might have been unaware of the
fact that he was liable to the forfeiture of his
recognisance for allowing gambling in his
house : they now wished to give a public caution
on this head to Mr. M'Neill and the publicans
present.-When the application of Mr. Jacob
Gorrick, for the Spread Eagle, Rutherford, was
read, the bench examined the chief constable
and constable M'Mauus as to whether it had
been ascertained whether the late prize fight
between Wood and Jones had been arrangetfin
Mr. Gorrick's house, or any preliminaries for
it ; it appeared that the fight took place within
a short distance of the inn, but out of sight
from it, and that a number of vehicles were
then stopping at the inn : the bench granted
the license, but cautioned Mr. Gorrick, and
through him the publicans present, that it was
his duty, if he became aware of a prize fight
being about to come oft', to inform the police,
so that steps might be taken to prevent it.
LONDON MARKETS.-TALLOW.-December 14.
-Speculators having come into the market and
made large purchases, prices show a further
improvement of 3d. to Cd. There has been a
considerable amount of business done in St.
Petersburgh Y.C. at 38s. 9d. to 39s. for first
quality, and the same paid for delivery in
January to .the end ol' March. Arrivals are
heavy, but the deliveries increasing. Last week
2,950 casks were taken from the warehouses,
leaving the stock on Monday 48,715, against
32,507 casks at the same period in 1848. Pre-
sent prices of kinds are fully 8s. lower ; 354
casks of Australian tallow were sold at from 35s.
9d. to 38s. 6d. ; 200 chests 751 boxes South
American, about half sold, from 31s. 6d. to 33s.
6d. ; 172 casks old Y.C. from 37s. 3d. to 38s.
per cwt -December 28 -A few transactions
are reported at 38s. to 38s. 3d. for fine P.YC,
and for delivery the first three months of 1850,
38s. 3d. Other kinds have been flat. During
last week 2337 casks were taken from the ware-
houses against 1860, in the corresponding one
of 1848. The stock on Monday was 48,500
casks or 13,500 larger: present prices of
foreign show a decline of 3s. 6d. to 4s. per cwt.
-LEATHER AND HIDES.-The steady routine
business still prevails ; a fair amount is doing,
and the continued good demand for best rounded
calf-skins 28 lbs. to 36 lbs. per dozen, for the
best kips and for the heaviest harness hides,
may still be reported. The public sale of foreign
goods in the past week was confined to 36,000
East India kips, and 629 sides of New South
Wales leather. The former brought as nearly
as possible previous prices, taking into account
the inferiority of their quality; the highest
price was 9Jd. The tanned sities, which were
very ordinary, sold at former rates.-S. M.
