PA* iv. GIL sad Oa 64,-841 1, thoso, lad by Omar ma Portasomo REVIEW OF THE CORN TRADE DUIUNO THE PAST WEEK. ham Übe Marl-lase Expresi. BRITISH. The very severe weather experienced during the greater part of the week now about to close, has tended to Ea:Gnu hoe to the wheat trade ; and though it does not that leonine we have a week of severe frost in No vember the a inter must be earlier than in usual years, still there Tall he no doubt that the minds of holders have been fallueneeil thereby. Whether the northern continental ports be closed early nr nut, would probably make little teal diffcrena c in regard to supplies, prices being too high there to allow Qt coosignments being made to this country with a chance of profit; still, the possibility of such on occurrence has certainly had more or less effect. The upward movement has also been assisted by the improve meat which the cold, frosty weather has wrought in the condition of all kinds of grain of this year's growth, and further by the impetus which has been given to the demand by the 44111 e cause, it being a well-known tact that the can suaiptiun of lend is invariably increased by a low range of temperature. These several causes have all had their lave nice in inspiring holders with confidence; but the circum stance which has had greater weight than all the rest put toge Cher he. been the decreased pressure of !menus produce es the (been ut markets. The falling off which hag for some time beta shown in the arrivals from abroad, and the belief that during the winter months the supplies will be mope ntively small, have induced holdersof grain in granary to be come less anxious to reales. , and the competition between the home producer and seller of foreign corn having diminished, buyers,who have till receutlyhiid it all their own way, have at length found it difficult to secure what they have needed, without paying some advance on previous prices. The rise L the value of wheat has been gradual since the beginning of the precut mouth, and in most of the markets in the agricultural iliatnets quotations are at present about 2s. per qr. higher than they were at the close of October. This dupnnessent has not hitherto bad the effect of drawing larger supplies from the growers, but ea Christen ap proaches, the &Ilse:its will probably increase. By the official account Just p . ublished, it appears that the importations of grain, &c., into the United Kingdom during the month ending the sth inst. amounted to only 141,616 quarters wheat, 23,4'_'3 barley, 51,162 oats, 23,921 Beam, 2,626 peas, 133,591 maize, 256,307 cwt. dour, against 300,220) quarters wheat, 59,790 barley, 106,676 oats, 1,521 ryr, I beaus, 4,117 peas, 193,211 maize, 624,476 t art. dour in the preceding month. This tact alone is said tient to account fur the increased firmness which the trade has eabibited. At the Large consuming towns the advance in the value of Wheat h.O scarcely kept puce with the rise in the agri cultural districts, owing, no doubt, to the presence uf snicks of foreign brogihtuds at the lesdiug ports. This week business has been more firm than active at the principal provincial markets. The arrivals of *heat eueetwise into the port of London have been moderate, only 2,601 qrs. having been reported up to this (tiaturday) evening. Two or throe cargoes of Polish Odessa wheat on passage have beta taken for the Continent this week, at similar rake to those previously current, say 33a. per qr. for Polish Odessa, that price including freight and insurance to the pert of destination. We have heard of no sales of Egyptian wheat; the prices asked have been 245. to 245. fal. per, qr., cost, freight, and insurance. Quotations of town-manufactured Flour have not varied near our last . ail fresh qualities have bees in fair request, at pervious terms. The arrivals from abroad have consisted of seeks Iron. France, and 5,994 barrels from Ame rica. Stocks of foreign Flour on the wharves have been • reduced into a eery narrow compass, and even the stale in ferior lots nave been mostly cleared of. American Hour is also it.irec, considerable shipments to the Cape of Good Hope having been made during the month. The atriva!i of barley coastwise have been moderate since our last, and comparatively little has been brought forward by land-carriage samples. The supply, has, however, proved sufficient to satisfy the demand, and the tendency of prices hes been rather downwards. Really line malting qualities would probably (had say appeared) lhave realised fully pre view prices, but the greater part of what was exhibited both on Wedersday sad Friday consisted of ordinary dee seriptions, and such were very Miceli to place, though in some Cain offered at slightly reduced terms. Foreign bar ley has been in good request for grinding, and the recently enhanced rates have been well supported. Good Egyptian has brought iso. 6.1. to 19x., and Baltic qualities 235. up to 2es. per qr. The supplies of malt have not been particularly large, bat this article has sold somewhat tardily at previous prices. The total arrival of oats, including 3,294 qrs. from abroad, has amounted to only 11,091 qrs., and factors have conse quently been enabled to place a portion of the supply pre viously received from Ireland without making any COCCI:a nion ; indeed, the tendency has been the other wey, end aa• corn, whether of home or foreign growth, could hardly be bought on as easy terms on Friday es in the beginning of the week. A. prices are generally higher in the country markets than is Mark lane, it is tolerably clear that ...large arrivals can be looked for from out own cm/Lollies' an advance takes place; and the latest nemesuts from Ireland state, as we have already intimated, that shipments for England bad been discouraged by the unsatheMleryansults of previous consign ments. The few English Beam bray* forward have sold on (pits as good terms as Ware. Foreign of good quality have alai brought WI pima Peas have met • sk ail% at late rates.

The quality is described os tolerably good; but, the condition being indifferent, the weight wss only 681 b. to 6811,. per bushel.

The little new wheat brought forward had been readily dis posed of at 365. 6d. to 365. per quarter. The samples of this year's produce exhibited have, with few exceptions, proved a very moderate quality, and 611 lbs. per bushel was considered a good weight for new wheat. In spring corn nothing of interest had transpired. Barley was then quoted 21s. &1., and good boiling peas might have been bought at 265. per quarter free on board. At Llamburgh, on Tuesday, Wheat was inquired for, for local consumption ; 60 lbs. red marks brought equal to 395. Gd., and 61 lbs. Wahren 41s. per quarter free on board. Some speculative inquiry had besides been experienced for parcels deliverable at outporta in spring, and contracts had been closed at 30s. 6d. for 61 Ilse. Pomeranian, for which 40s. 6d. had subsequently been asked. Barley had met with a fair share of attention ; Danish, weighing 53 to 54 lbs. had been sold at 21s. to 21s. 64. per qr. free on board, for immediate shipment; while fur the same article deliverable in spring, 225. to 225. 641 per qr. had been asked. Oats of 381 be. weight, from Jutland, had been offered at 14s. 6d. per qr. free on board. The reports from Holland are of a firm tone, and at Rot terdam, on Monday, new white Zealand wheat brought an advance of Is. per qr. ; in the value of red no change oc curred. The inquiry for rye had again revived, and prices were quoted 2.. per qr. higher than on that day se'nnight. From France the advice* are also firm, but no actual ad vance could, it appeals, he established at Paris on Wednes day, either on wheat or flour. The accounts from the Mediterranean are of much the some character as betorc. At Mareeillse supplies from Odessa were anxiously kaiked (or, the quantity on this mar ket Wag greatly reduced; the price on the 15th instant was Th. 3d. to 295. for 601 b. to 6611 b. Polish Odessa, and 33e. per quarter free on board for 631 b. Marianopoli. At Leghorn, on the 14th of November, Marianopoli wheat of the same weight was worth the same price as at Mar milks, while 6111ba. qualities were obtainable at 30s. 6d. to 31s. per quarter free on board. The quality of the new Marianople is described as very fine. By the most recent &deices from America, we learn that prices of wheat and flour, after having undergone a slight improvement towards the close of Octuber, had again receded to about the point they had previously stood at. Sonic quantity of Flour had been bought at New York and the other leading ports for export to England. At New York good shipping broods ad Western Canal were quoted 16.. bd. per barrel, and war might have been bought at 145.6.1. per barrel.

A MAN FOUND DEAD IN ME STREET.—YeSter day morning, at an sorb hour, as a police constable of the M division was passing flown Long-lane, Borough, he saw a man lying insensible on the pavement. The officer procured assistance and carried hint to the nearest surgeon's, where it was discovered that life was extinct. A stretcher was pro cured from the police station, and the deceased was con veyed to the workhouse of St. George's, Mint-street, South wark, where an inquest will be held this evening. There were no marks or bruises about the deceased's face or other parts of his person to account for death. The deceased's name was found to be Owen Jones, in the service of Messrs. Courage and Donaldson, the brewers, of llorselydown-lane, Tooley•street, Southwark. FRATRICIDE IN LlVERPOOL—Yesterday an occur rence Wok place in Liverpool which crested much excite ment. Two brothers, awned William and Joshua Blunt, quarrelled in the house of their mother, a widow, residing is Clive-street, and the result was that Joshua, the younger, stabbed Willis's, the elder brother, with • shoemaker's knife, and death ensued in a few minutes. The circum stances attending this dreadful act were as follows:—The elder brother bad cot for some time resided with his mother, but was in the habit of calling occasionally at the house, and when he did so endeavoured to exercise autho rity over his younger brother, who is • shoemaker, aged 18 years, and supported his mother out of his earnings. This assumption of authority led to frequent disputes. Yester day morning William, who was a blacksmith, called at his a-other's, and some dispute haviug arisen relative to a shilling which their parent required, he struck Joshua, who instantly wired a knife with which he had been work ing and plunged it into his brother's chest. Mr. Fiddler, surgeon, was sect for, but the unfortunate man expired before his arrival. Joshua was taken into custody by Inspector Boyd, and brought before Mr. Mansfield, at the police court, who ordered him to be remanded. STLUICOXMUNICATION BETWEEN ENOLAND,INDIA, awn AUSTIALIA.—In Saturday's Daily News there ap peared• government advertisement for te n d er s for convey ing a mails between Singapore mid Australia every alternate month. The difficulties which the Australian colonists will have to encounter, the sudden changes which will arise in their circumstances, and the fluctuations which will take place in their markets owing to the gold discoveries in New South Wales and the consequent influx of population, will render a tepid communication between England and Australia more than ever necessary. Referring to the advertisement above alluded to, it is most important to notice that the government have deciled on the southern route to Australia from Singapore. A mail route through Torres Straits will, therefore, not be adopted ; and the whole of South-Western and Southern Australia will be materially benefited by this arrangement. According to the terms of the advertisement the parties tendering to convey the mails between Singapore and Australia must also undertake to establish a fortnightly communication be tween this country and the Mediterranean, India, and China. It appears, then, that at length the highly impor tant scheme of an overland communication with India and China twice a mouth is about to be established. It will be seen that this mail scheme contem plated by the government is almost identical with th e one which the Peninsular and Oriental Company offered some time since to carry out without any expense to the country, and which they were prevented from doing by the East India Company insisting on conveying in their own ships the Bombay mails. It is to be remarked that Bombay is not mentioned in the advertisement. It would appear from this that the East India Company have not given VISIT to the government on the Bombay mail question. Of course when the fortnightly communication with India and China is established the E.ist India Company's line of mail steamers on the lied Sea will no 'eager be necessary, and the government mail steamers between Malta and Alexan dria will be removed. To carry out the mail scheme con templated in the advertisement, via, • fortnightly commu nication with India and China and a communication every other month with Australia, will requne a fleet of twenty steamers of the largest clam—Daily News. CENTRAL CONNEXION Or AIETROPOLITAN RAIL WAY STATIONII.—WhArther or not Mr. Pearson's be a sound and desirable nroject we need nut now determine; there is much in it that wants explanation, and the cost, notwithstanding what the projectors mid, would be enor mous ; but of this we are certain, that some plan should be adopted to connect the various railways. To speak of a terminus to a railway so lung as there is say place farther on to be reached has always seemed to as absurd. If we wish to go from London to Manchester we find no break up of the road at Birmingham or other towns, but can go right on to our journey's end. If, however, when we come back we woulu travel on, say further south than London, another sort of conveyance must be taken to, and probably some hours are wasted betrre the journey can be continued. The first thing to be done towards ren dering our railroad system more complete is to bring into communication all the existing lines which surround Lon don.—Tite Builder. DIRECT EXETER, PLYMOUTH, AND Devo:vrowr I , R•ITAIII.T.—Ynteri.7 the effaire et ,We e.0p.0., came on before the Muter in Chancery Sir William Horne, on the occasion of the proposal of a call of UM on each of the members of the managing committee to pay off outstanding liabilities. The official manager's report gave a curious' exemplification of the working of the act of parliament for winding up joint-stock companies on its application to in choate companies. It stated that in pursuance of the leave of the Master, given by written direction to that effect, I under the Sth section of the act, the official manager found it necessary for meeting his necesaiey expenses and charges in the proceedings for winding up the company, to borrow, oa the security of the assets of the company, the' sum of 300 L, the cash disbursements having considerably' exceeded that sum, aid which was raised by negotiating • bill of thatamount. The official manager not harind re- I ceived funds to pay the bill at maturity it was renewed, and the renewed bill had been purchased by Mr. W. Harris, solicitor, of Stone. buildings, who had been the acting so- licitor for Mr. Besley, and other persons opposing the pro- eeedings of the official manager, against whom, upon the bill, the solicitor was now prosecuting an action at law ' • and judgment might be obt a i ne d i n a fortnight , their being no legal defence to it.

THIS DAY. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. Boron. MI. COII.IIIIIIIIOIMI HOLLOTD. IN Rs TII2OO.—JUDOMINT. The bankrupt, a builder, in Coleman-street, who had car ried on an extensive business, applied for his certificate two or three weeks ago. His Honour now pee judgment. He said the bankrupt had been in business a short time—five years. Re now owed to creditors 39,0721., besides liabilities 16,8161.; in all 64,8881.; and his assets would pay about 2s. 6d. in the pound. He had started without capital, having only about 701., but with a good name, that of his father. Hu trading had been to the extent of 2'28,0001. ; and the amount of contracts undertaken and in progress at the time of the bankruptcy was 140,000'. It had been his misfortune to become con nected with persons of no means, and he was thus led into accommodation bill transactions. He had accepted bills Inc a person named Yeoman to the amount of 34.0001., from whom there was now a balance due of about 9.0001. He had accepted to the amount of 29,000/. in eighteen months, for a person named Crawshaw, besides some cash lent; a statement of the ae count between them showed 6,439/. due to the bankrupt's , estate, to which amount the estate was damnified. The acceptances for Cook and Gibbs were admitted to have been of an ill,gitimate character. It was alleged the bankrupt had not expected that Alderman Gibbs would allow the bills to be dishonoured ; but this only showed the importance to traders of not giving their names to others inconsiderately. The bankrupt was chargeable with having kept bad books; there was no cash-hook ; and the losses, so far from being attributable to unavoidable causes, were the result of his own improvidence. The neglect of books was a common fault with builders, and was most injurious to creditors, by the expenses unavoidably entailed on the estate. His losses had been 20,0001., through failing to corn• piete contracts. In the cane of the City prison at Holloway, the works having been stopped before the bankruptcy, the City authorities took possession of the works and all the mate rials on the premises, and afterwards relct the contract to Mr. Jay. The assignees had received about 1,0001. as the value of the materials thus taken. From the contract for the Lewes pris.m, the assignees had received nothing; and his sureties would suffer a loss, owing to the magistrates having more to pay fur the renewed con tract. The result of she whole was, that out of 18,0001. which the bankrupt would have had to receive on the com pletion of the contract, the assignees had only got 5,7771. But the gravest charge against the bankrupt was, that trad ing without capital, he had dealt to a large extent in accent- modation hills, and had thus raised money on a fictitious credit. The greater portion of the holders of those bills had proved against the estate, and would thus abstract from the dividend of the bona fide creditors. The court was bound to suspend the certificate for one year from the day of the application, to be then granted as of the third class, with protection in the mean time. REMOVAL OF MR. RAMSHAY. We hear that the Earl of Carlisle, after a full con sideration of all the circumstances connected with the recent inquiry into the conduct of Mr. Itiunshay, the judge of the county court at Liverpool, has given his de cision, removing that gentleman from his office. BLACKW ALL RAILWAY. Yesterday a special meeting of this company was held at the London Tavern, Ilishopagate-street, tor the pur pose of approving or rejecting a proposal to raise 60,000/., to extend the Fenchureh.street terminus, and also one for forming a line from Ilford to Tilbury and Southend. Tho CHAIRMAN read the heads of the Eistern Coun ties agreement, by which the Blackwell Company were to raise Z. 0,0001., and to be guaranteed 5 per cent. A rental would also be paid for the accommodation, sad the Bleck ' wall Company would receive 21d. first-clan, and Id. on mooed and third-class passengers brought over the line, which were expected to be considerable. Mr. Alderman THOMPSON, M.P., said the Eastern Counties could not be expected to saddle themselves with a tax of 2,5001. without some advantage. They now found the Shoreditch terminus not sufficient for their purposes. It was clear to him that this outlay would not be made without a prospect of their reeeiviag more than an equiva lent for themselves ; be.ides, it would afford them (the Blackwell) the advantage of an extra peony and two pence half-penny on all their passengen. He thought it would be a wise and business-like conclusion to come to the reso lution which the chairman had proposed to the meeting. Mr. LEVI considered this arrangement would depre ciate the old shares. The CHAIRMAN could not sec it, (or it must tend to increase the value of the undertaking; it would be for the shareholders to take or reject any interest in this new undertaking. A PROPRIETOR salted if the toll were the best pos sible that could be obtained ? The CHAIRMAN said the toll they now had was the same u the directors had, with great difficulty, °bullied from the Dock Junction Railway, for doing precisely the same bovine's. A PROPRIETOR asked if this arrangement would in terfere with those of the North Western Railway Com- P4 'l n t CHAIRMAN replied iu the negative, and said that there was a distinct line from Strittord to Buw, for the Eastern Counties. Mr. JAMES asked if this estimate were exceeded, who would pay the difference ? The CHAIRMAN replied that 50,e001. was the esti mate, and there would be a further sum of 10,0001. es quired from the Blackwell Company. The time might come when they would require more money, but then it would not be granted, except they should give reasons for it. (Hear, hear.) The resolution for authorising the directors to raise the sum of 60,0001. for the enlargement of the terminus and station in Fenchurch-street was then passed unanimously. The CHAIRMAN next moved a resolution in respect to the formation of • line from Ilford to Tilbury and to Southend, which he stated would be mainly constructed for the purpose of restoring to the Blackwell Company the Gravesend train:, which would otherwise go to the E,utern Counties Company . Mr. LEVI said it was not worth having. All the South Eastern Company had got last season from the Gravesend ' traffic was 20,00 W. He had seen the books, and knew that ' correctly. (Hear, hear.) A PROPRIETOR asked what the estimate of this line - - - The CHAIRMAN mid it wu estimated at 420,0001. The capital would be offered to the Blackwell Company in pre- Terence. It would be optional to the Blackwell proprietors to take these shares, as well as to the Eastern Counties pro prietors; but he thought none would be so fool sh as to lose the chance of 6 per ceut. (Laughter.) A PROPRIETOR would like to know the liability par. ties would be under. said the shares would be 10!. each, with a delimit of Yes. Only be. of this would be risked in going to parliament. If the bill were obtained the directors ' would call the proprietors together and take their advice. (Hear, bear.) Mr. LEVI protested against money being spent on this project for he oonsidered it would be profitless. TheCHAIRMAN sold the question was, whether they ought to let the F.agern Counties have all the Gravesend trudge or not. It was not likely, as Mr. Levi said, that men would go down an the marshes to eat grass—(laughter) — but would continue their route to one point or the other. (Hear, hear.) !'hero was a part of the line where cab bages, earrots, &c., termed certainly a large portion of the trate. Mr. LIIVI—Not carrots, for they come from Bedford shire. (Laughter.) Mr. JOSH. WILSON (a director) was sorry Mr. Levi had such a bad opinion of their traffic. There was one ad• vantage, which was teat it would not be compulsory on that gentleman to take shuts in the new undertaking. (Hear, bear.) After s me few observations, the resolution was puled unanimously, with the exception of the vote of Mr. Levi, which war in the negative. A vote of thanks was then peered to the chairman and directors, when the meeting adjourned. BALmottet..—The property (ye the Perth Cou rier, referring to the purehsse of t his estate by the Qui en) extends fully seven miles in length by four in breadth, and includes the best deer range iu the Grampian chain. The purchase money agreed on is 31,6001.

The share market to-day sympathises with the flatness in Consols, general heaviness being mani fested, accompanied with less disposition to operate. Nearly all descriptions are quoted below yes ' terday's rates, but the decline is the most perceptible in Aberdeens, Caledonians Manchester and Sheffields, :Midlands, and South Eastern's As settling day is so near at hand, being fixed for Friday next, strenuous exertions will doubtless be made to depress the market. The considerations connected with French politics have brought sellers of the shares of that country into the market, and transactions are to-day marked in several descriptions, including Boulogne and Amiens, Northern of France, and Paris and Stras bourg; but in no case can business be done, except at a reduction from former rates. The South Eastcmrece .-- ipla —s- 1; the week ending the 22nd inst., show an increase of 1,3631.0ver those for the corresponding sleek of last year, being 10,877/., against 9,3134 in 1830.

MONEY MARKET. THIS DAY. Two o'CLocc. The decline on the Paris Bourse (whicii;;;ll - yesterday afternoon by the telegraphic agency of Mr.Reuter,but was not made known until after the official hours of business in the Stock Exchange) has reacted here, and prices opened this morning at a decline of 1. Moro money stock has since been brought to market, a rather increased demand for temporary accommodation being felt. and the present high range of prices holding out additional induce ments to realise, so that the renewal of purchases by the government broker has failed to support the market, which now ranges at a total decline of 1 as compared with the final rates of yesterday. Consols left off yesterday 981 to 7 for money, and 981 to 99 fur account, and arc now quoted 981 to a for cash, and 984 to for the 11th December. The " contango " of 4, it will be observed, is thus preserved, though no "continuation" whatever was perceptible at the commencement of the account. Reduced Threes are the stock selected as a medium of investment by the broker of the National Debt Commissioners. The following are the official business, prices: Three per Cent Consols, 981, 1,1; ditto for Account, 981, 1 ;1 Three per Cent. Reduced, 977., 98, 'J7I.

Bank Stock, 2151, Exchequer Bills are supported at the late advance of Is., 535. to 565. prem., being the ruling rate for all classes of bills. Indian Bonds have today been dealt in at the slightly advanced figure of 625. to 655. premium. There is less disposition to operate in the foreign stock markets, and prices do nut vcur the buoyant appearance exhibited yesterday. Sardinian Bonds show a reaction after the late rise, and Vene zuelan are also lower. Mexicans are likewise weaker. Other descriptions arc better supported. Sales are reported this morning as follows : Brazilian Old Five per Cents., 931; Danish Five per Ceuta., 102. I)utch Two-anda-Half per Cents., 59!, 1, .1, ; ditto Four per Cent.

The market for the Californian gold mining shares is again flatter to-day, owing to the disputes between the promoters of some of the companies and the pro fessed agent of Col. Fremont in London, with respect to the leases. This is settling-day for the West Mariposa shares, but the arrangements have not improved the market. Present quotations are as follows:—West Mariposa, 1 dis. to par; Nouveau Monde, 1 to 1 prem. ; Agua Fria, 1 to 11 prem.; Ave Maria,l dis. to par; Golden Mountain, 1- to 1 prem. The amount of bills drawn by the East India Com pany on the respective Presidencies of India from the 9th to the 22nd instant is as follows : Bate of Exchange. Bengal £337,911 12 8 I 25.. per Co.'s Madras Bombay £379,217 16 9 The total amount drawn since tho 7th January is 1,688,3704 lei lOd. . _ . _ It may be interesting to notice that the 20th of this month is the date at which the Savings Banks are to make their annual returns. The returns this year will be examined with the more interest, as it is felt that the reforms so long needed ought to be at once carried out. The subjoined calculations show the rate per cent. per annum yielded by the various securities cited at the average of the prices which ruled yesterday. Where the asterisk (*) is prefixed it is to be under stood that the share rate of interest is less the in come tax. It will be seen that in every case we take the rate of interest last declared as the basis of our calculation. To render the calculation strictly accu rate, the proportion of interest which may have accrued since last dividend period should, in each case, be taken into account: Mena pert Outt. eisiels prise 00 ylaktpar cast.E3 0 7 Three per OM. leducod New Throwutd-a-Qoarter per Oasts— 114 1,9 3 3 7 Hank rasa (dm at the rate el 74 par mut. per annum) title tituca (dm lei per east per an ) 2024 " VII 4 0 0 asetaquer bins (int. 14d. per nay) 56.. pia. ~ 2 4 44 East Indian alarm 18/. paid (rearm teed di, 3 per Goat per haauss) 3l " 4 5 ei Great *esters* CON re.

The shipments of this article for the year have increased to the extent of 200 per cent, being, to the 10th Oct., 36,460 cwts. this year, against 17,782 in 1830, and only 4,326 in 1849.

June, aged eleven, daughter of James Sharp, of Nrwhill-lane End, Sheffield, was found drowned in a well, in her father's garden, on Monday night. In the afternoon of that day the deceased was charged with stealing an accordion, belonging to • neighbour's chile; and her protestations of innocence were disbelieved by her mother, by whom she was chastised. The punishment was keenly felt by the girl, who was missed shortly after; and though her absence did not cause any alarm until night set in, fears were then enter mined for her safety, and a search was commenced, which terminated in the discovery of the lifeless body of the child in a well 27 yards deep, in the garden. The general im pression is that the child, in the bitterness of her grief at the false accusations, had thrown herself in.—Derbyshire limnie►. ONE OF THE MOST GIGANTIC ENGINEERING OPERATIONS ever effected took place a few days ago near Welschmets, in the Italian Tyrol. A quantity of stone being required for the construetiou of viaducts :1111.1 bridges, for a railway, it was resolved to use a huge ruck 360 feet high and tia wide, which rose like a wall. In two places only was this rock connected with the chain of Alps. First of all it was entirely separated from the mountain (a very difficult operation, which occupied 800 workmen for some time) ; then seven or eight lingo openings were effected at the ba,c, so that the immense minx was supported on columns ; and then trellis of gunpowder were placed in each opening. Everything having been prepared, fire was setto the trains. In eleven minutes a frightful explosion took place, and the mass came down. Thu fall ehcok the earth for a distance of nearly two leagues, and the pieces of rock spread over nearly ten acres. MARSHAL HAYNAU.—A letter from Pcsth, of the 16th, says Field Matshal Haynau, who is at present residing on the estate he possesses in Hungary, is accus tomed to sleep in a little room ou the ground-fl or, in a de tached building in the garden of his chateau. In the night of Monday last he wan awoke by a thick smoke, which tilled the chamber. Ile immediately jumped out of bed, acil leaped out of window into the garden. Sonic moments after all the building was in flumes. A strung wind having arisen, the fire extended to three barns filled with the corn of the last harvest, and they and their contents, together with the building, were destroyed. No fire having been lighted in the day, it appears certain that the fire was caused by a criminal, in the hope, probably, of killing the gene ral. It has not been possible thus far to discover him." A FATAL AFFAIR occurred at Leigh a few days since, through the practice which prevails too commonly amongst ignorant country people of doctoring " them selves. A woman, named Hannah Brown, nearly forty years of age, having been taken ill, sent a messenger to a medical man living two miles from the village, and re ceived a bottle of medicine, the medical man promising to call and see the patient in the evening. Before he arrived, however, the woman determined to be bled, and the opera ion was performed by a shoemaker of the neighbourhood, who had bled her several times before. She died a few minutes after he had tied up the arm. A coroner's inquest has resulted is the verdict of " Died suddenly, from the effects of having been bled by a non-medical bury Jot•rnal. BObIEILSETSIIIRE CENTRAL RAILWAY.—The ma naging committee of this undertaking arc completing their arrangements loran application to parliament in the ensuing session. The proposed line is to branch from the Bristol and Exeter Railway at Ilighbridge, and to follow the general direction of the present canal to Olutonbstry, a distance of 121 miles. The line will be made so as to admit of its being continued to the city of Wells. It will also be connected with the harbour at Ilighbridge. The Bristol and Exeter Railway Company have agreed to work the proposed line, without profit, and to allow the proprietors all the proths arising from it, together with 10 per cent. of the gross receipts upon the Bristol and Exeter Railway in respect of all traffic brought or taken by the proposed line or harbour to or from their railway • such per tentage upon goods to extend from Bristol t o iridge water, and upon passengers to Taunton. One great ad vantage is that the line is perfectly level, and can therefore be worked at a very moderate cwt.
