The attendance of a surgeon was promptly procured. but life was e xtinct. The police weer then called in, and on examining the premises, not the slightest appears , ce of any forcible attempt to gain an entrance from the outside could be dis covered, but in the sitting-room a candle was burning, and eight wine !glasses, ex-ti clamming a mall quantity of gin, were standing on the tube the:* was also a gallon stone bottle whelk had containee gin. We do not learn theta single article is missing, and the deceased's watch remained safe hanging at the head of hr bed, stopped at a quarter put four. From the destine-II state of the Ind it would appear that he had lain upon it, and it is difficult to account for his motive in quitting it. The housekeeper was not awoke until the neighbours entered the house. nor were there auy noises heard by the young men w: en ar ;use.: by the deceased. In ilectmed's Letiroom a Mete asei p-ayer bock were found wrapped in paper with a letter ; the letter was addreined to a young lady resident in Ray I igh with whom he was aequaintrol, and in it he promised her mar riage.

Woo peree•ratee in the parish of Bradweil, on Friday se'nuieht. B.Aween 11 and 12 o'clock, three men, Laving their faces Inackened, broke into the house occupied by an elderly man named James Finch.

PICTURES AT TRE DUKE Or BUCKINGHAM'S. A. who'. length portrait of the lion. George Grenville, in his robes, by Sir Joshua Be)nolds, and " The Destruction of Pompeii," by John Martin, the painter of " Belshazzar's Feast, ' are now on view for sale at No. 91, Pall-mell, the London residence of the Duke of B nauckine gha to see m. The " Sir JoMusi" (as far as a bad light will ebl us it) seems a capital specimen of the beet period of the master. The head, a little injured, but the whole arr an g ement admi rable; and the smal landscape back ground touched in with a charming frankness of manner. The " Pompeii, " by )l a rtin, was a commission from the late Duke of Bucking bra. It is a large picture some eight feet by the. The distaice in tine and effective, and the figures in the fore r-und though indifferent not intrusive. There i s on, s aa ima gineive air about the composition which with iuu ilAlofty idea of the sc ene, and that the picture is the work ti UJ everyday m nd. It is dated 1822, and was therefore ealated immediately after the " Ilelsharzar's Feast." It has nn been engraved. There is no difficulty in seeing the HER MAJESTY'S THEATEE.—StiII another opera or Verdi's !—On Saturday evening, " Nabuco " (under its English name of " Nino "It, was performed, for the ckbui art a new performer, Signora Abbadia, in the charactt r of .4b.qaele. This lady's appearance was heralded by various putts preliminary, in the shape of newspaper paragraphs, cal culated to excite expectations which have been entirely hatdis appointed. Before the first scene was over, she showed t, ninth. r in person, deportment, d ram atic talent, nor vocal power., dill she possess the slightest pretension to the posi tion of • prima donna in a great theatre; and the general feeling of the audience was surprise that she could ever have been placed in it. Her performance was barely tole rated, and we can hardly believe that she will be called upon to repeat the part. In other respects, h ow ever, the opera was ex c ee dingly well performed. Coletti gave a grandeur to the character of the Assyrian monarch with which we had not previously seen it invested. It.is a character, indeed, which gives full scope to the powers of • tragedian mid it is only to be regretted hat o t Verdi's c• rennin pima music is so much be neath the greatness f the subiect. Coletti's appearance, as the triumphant warrior, bursting into the temple of the conquered city, was magnifi cent, and his fierce threats and denunciations were thundered out with terrible energy. The scene where the king, in the height of his power and pride, is struck by lightning from heaven, and suddenly becomes a raging maniac, aa emu a. eeee oo.a. Lim dbigaele to spare his daughter's life, was full of deep and tragic pathos, and produced a strong effect on the audience. By his vocal powers, too—his im passioned delivery of the recitatives, and his beautiful voice and execution in the airs—he gave the music a force and ex• pre saion in the merit of which the composer had no share. Another novel feature, on this occasion, was Beletti's fine per °mance of the high priest Orostaspe, a part which hitherto had pa.sed unnoticed as being quite subordinate. lie gave it due dignity and importance, and some of the principal scenes derived their greatest t from his impressive declamation and action. Mlle.Veru made a highly favourable impression in the little but interesting part of Fenena. She was almost ov.rwhelmed with timidity, hut she received kind ermou raaement from the audience ; and her air in the last act, " Oh, di:thins° êit tirmamento" (the best melody in the opera.) was sung with a degree of sweetness and feeling which produced an unanimous encore. The excellent per formance of these parts made some compensation for the I fsiiure is that of Ahigaele ; though this failure, in a cha racter of such importance, greatly injured the effect of the whnie. We have bad no less than four of Verdi's operas since the opening of the theatre ; and the manager. we hope. considers that he has now given the public enough el doe composer for one season. In an establishment like Her 2.lejesty's Theatre, the success of which depends to a great extent on compliance with the exigencies of fashion, we c-iinot greatly blame an observance of the maxim that " they I w, ,) live to please must please to live ;" but the application of this, as of other whet saws, may be carried to excess: and besides, in the case of Verdi, it is not demanded. Though he is for the moment the idol of " Youog Italy," this idolatry has not extended greatly beyond the Alpe. In this country, especially, his reputation is not high among any class of amateurs; and fashim will be satisfied with offerings upon her shrine, few and for between, of works by a composer compared to whom the Pacinis, Mereadantes, and Donizettis of the day, are great and illustrious artats ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.—" Lucia di Lammermoor" was given at Covent-garden en Saturday evening. This opera had been announced for some days, but it was per forated with an unexpected change of cast. The tenor who was t s have sustained the part of Edgardo was, on trial, fm incanintent to the task : and, in the emergency the occasioned, M. Rnger, the celebrated tenor of the Opira Comique (who bad been engaged fur a later period of the season), was suddenly brought from Paris, with Madame Cuteness, who has performed the character of Lucia with yea• sue tear at the 'Theatre Italien during the past season 1 hese performers arrived in London only on Friday morn ing, and were ready to appear on Saturday. Roger's re presentation of Edgardo was pre-eminent in excellence, and triumphant in suttees . Tho u g h entirel y uoaccustoned to the Italian stage, there was nothing " tramontane " in his pronunciation or accent; and, as a linger, he be longs to the best and purest Italian school. The beauty of his voice we have never beard surpamed. It iv at once sweet, mellow, and powerful ; there is some thing touching and penetrating in its very sound ; and it is equally capable of giving expression to the softest feelings and the wildest bursts of passion. In the gloomy melancholy I i,t his opening air, " Sulla tombs," in the frantic curses which Edgar pours on the head of his supposed faithless mi-tress, and in the dying murmurs of the lover happy in the prospect of rejoining his beloved in the grave, this beau tiful voice was equally eloquent, pathetic, and true to nature. Roger, moreover, is evidently a great actor. He is too short in suture to realise completely the lofty idea which ye form of Walter Scott's " Master of Ravenswood ;" but he is very handsome both in face and person, his deportment had grace and dignity, and his whole representation of the part was impassioned and impressive. Madame Castellan was a very charming Lucia. Her performance was full of sweetness and sentiiiiility, and she appear' to have gained sines last season in vccal power. She was warmly welcomed on her entrance, and shared with M. Roger the enthusiastic ap ple .iee at the cnnclusion of the opera. The character of A was well supported by' Signor Corradi Sethi, a d,;- butant on this stage. The choruses, Si usual at this theatre, were exrell,nt, the orchestra magnifietust, and the ensemble of the opera highly effective. The new divertissement was leas successful than the opera. It served to introduce four 'lancers new to the English stage. None of them superior ability. One poor girl seeme d panicatruct°e two where were very indifferent ballet dancers, and the fourth, who had an arch and pleasing Spanish sort of face, though I fell of spirit and with considerable power of execution, is I I much below the standard required at present upon our stage. The house was well filled in every part. THE AMATEUR MUSICAL SOCIETY. — The concert I of this society, besides its general excellence, derived peen- I liar interest from the performance of a new symphony by a I young English composer, Mr. Henry Leslie, a gentleman who, though he has studied music as an amateur, has already wide himself known by several companions of great merit, and, in this last work, has displayed genius and attainments sufficient to give him a distinguished place among the artis of tie day. To produce a great orchestral symphony, after these of Beethoven, is to attempt to bend the bow of I lysses ; an attempt in which Spahr and Mendelssohn alone have f oll y a oceeede d . Our y oung English amateur hos been prompted by a ncble ambition to enter the field, and has been justified not only by the consciousna es but by the possession of strength. His symphony is indeed a work of high genius ; written in a pure ar.d chaste style, formed upon the best modele, and diaplayiue, at the same time, origi:.al thought and fruitful imagination. The author shows a ccmmai.d of all the re sources of counterpoint, a rich veia of melody, and great facility in the employment and combination of the instru ments. The most striking effects were produced by an an drlte religioso, and an animated scherzo, which were vehe mently encored. The Amateur Musical Society is entitled to the sereateet credit for having thus brought forward a meritorious work of a young English composer, and we hope that it will continue to pursue the same course, and to show that it considers the encouragement of native genius a main object of its institution.

Has property consisted of about 600?., which he had saved whilst in the service of a Miss Partridge. The only re e. sons living in the house at Stubbon, which was a lonely term-kouse about 8 miles from 1 iverton, were Mr. and Mrs. Fisher, a brother of Mrs. Fisher, and a boy named Alfred Hodge, a son of Mrs. Fisher's sister Mary Hodge, the other prisoner. On Thursday, the 2Gth of August, there bad been a haymaking in Fisher's fields, and Thomas Leech, a man who had paid attention to Mrs. Finer previous to her marriage, whilst et lisping with Mrs. Fisher gave her a kiss; this made Mr. Fisher very angry, and some words ensued between them. He went to bed, and shortly afterwards the party came in from the fields, consisting of Mrs. Fisher, her brother W. Hawkey, Mr. and Mrs. Hodge, W. Ho d g e, and Alfred Hodge, and they remained at the house until one or two o'clock in the morning, when all except Alfred llodge_, including Mrs. Fisher, went away in a cab. When Mr. Fisher awoke on the following . morning, and ascertained that his wife had gone away with Leech, he was exceedingly angry, and went to Witheridge, about four miles distant, to Misa Partridge's, and told her with regard to some money that she owed to him not to give it to his w ife, if she should call and ask for it ; he returned to Stubbon at shout eight or nine o'clock, and by that time his wife had returned ; some words spin ensued between them ; in the course of the afternoon she gave him some marsh-mallow tea, and on the following morning (Saturday) he was dead. There was no evidence as to the particular hour at which he died, as the only persons present were those accused of the murder. On the Monday following the 30. h, Mrs. Fisher called upon Mr. Hayley, a surgeon, who at her request wrote to the coroner. On the following day, the coroner replied that he bad already received intimation ,_and intended to bold an in quest, and gave authority to Mr. Hayley to make a post morient examination of the body. On opening it they . re moved the contents of the stomach, which were placed in a bottle sealed, and afterwards aualyeed. Arsenic was de- Wad In a metallic form, and in such a quantity as was suffi cient to cause death. In support of these statements, Mr. M'Kenzie and Mr. Hayley, who opened the hotly. ant, with other chemists, tested the contents of the stomach, were examined ; but the principal witness was Joanna Brooks, s'atsd that after she had been in prison a fortnight, the prisoner, Ann Fisher, whom she had never seen before, had toad her that Thomas Leech bought the poison and gave it to her ; that Thomas Leech had agreed with her before her marriage that she should marry old Fisher to secure his property, and he would wait until Fisher was dead ; that when she was married to the old man she didn't hold any wedding, but when she married young Thomas Leech she'd have a good roaring wedding. She told witness that after Leech had kissed her at the harvest she went out with him, and having returned found Fisher had gone to bed. In the morning Richard Fisher asked her pardon Inc basing quarrelled with her for taking tho kiss frem Leech, and became reconciled. She asked him whether be would have anything to eat or drink, and he said " no," but after a bit he said he'd have some marsh mallow tea ; thit she then mode the marshmallow beand put the arienic in into a bed gave it to him drank it and went away to bed ; she then Iccked up the door and, went away le the harvest field, and at about 11 o'clock went back again, and went up stairs and asked Richard Fisher if he would have anythieg to eat. He said, "No ;" he was an very ill he could neither eat nor drink anything. She said that her brother William Game in, and she told him that Fisher was vomiting very much. He persuaded her to send for the doctor. She said she would not, for the old rogue was not worth a doctor ; and alter dinner they went out into the harvest field again with her brother and her nephew ; and that she did not come in again until 13.1.wewi five and six, whoa she went up stairs, and Richard Fisher still went on vomiting. They then all went to bed, and in the depth of the night Thomas Leech came and rattled the door, and said, " Is the old Richard Fisher dead ?" She said " No." Thomas Leech said, " How is that ? I expected I should hear ke was dead before now. Did you give him all that poison ?" She said, " No." He said, " How's that ?" She said that her enter Mary Hodge persuaded her to part it, because if she had given him all, he would swell, and it would be found out. She said that Thomas Leech had stopped as long as he liked ; she fried him some bacon and eggs, and made him some egg-flip. The prisoner also told witness that her brother William went with a horse and cart for Richard and Mary Hodge, and that Thomas Lerch went away, and met Mary and Richard Iledge,and returned with them. 'lacy ell came in and went up stairs, and Richard Fisher went on Twilight, and Thomas Leech pro posed to give aim the rest of the arsenic that was left. Mary Hodge said they wouldn't, because he would swell, and they 'el be found out. They then went up stain and put a feather bed on him, and then she and Thomas Leech, and Richard and Mary Hodge laid on the top of it. That Richard Fisher made dreadful groans and noise. They did not send for the doctor until they had washed up the room. They burnt rage and things to take the smell out of the room : that the doctor came, and said that Richard Fi-her died of his old complaint. The prisoner added that Mr. Tanner, of Creditor, was her attorney, and he had tried in London to get her bailed out ; for if she could get bailed out she did mind no money, for she could get thirty or forty witnesses to swear fate for money. On another occasion abe said, laughing, that Mr. Tanner had been to see her, and that he bad agreed to give Alfred Hodge, her nephew. 301 to swear falsely. The boy was to swear that he saw old Fisher take the poison himself. If she was acquitted she should be married to young Thomas Leech, who hod 2001., and they should live very comfort. ably ; that several times she had said if she was condemned to die that Mr. Tanner would go to London to beg the Queen's pardon ; but she was expecting to get out on bail, and, if she were, abe would be axle to get plenty of false witnesses to swear for money. On being croneexamieed by Mr. Cockburn the witness said that the other prisoners mast have observed the inti macy between the prisoner and the witness ; and that she told her husband what the prison er h a d told her going to Enrick, where they _went on Saturday night, and also whilst they were in bed. That there was a man who slept in the same room, but he did not go to bed until 3 o'clock in the morning. She would not swear that she had not brought five charges of rape, each of which were dismissed; and that themagistrates at Sanford Courtney always imme dismay•dismissedinch charges, when besought by her. She denied having owed a man of the name of Lane 2/. 10s., and being rued by him ; b ut admitted that she and her husband had brought an action against him for aiminel convolution, which was discontinued for want of money.—On being examined by the judge she said that Ann Fisher made a communication to her about poisoning her husband the first day she entered the gaol, and they became indmate at once.' Ellen Chedder Elliott, who was also in the prison at the same time, spoke to the intimacy that existed between Ann Fisher and Joanna Bertha; she also said that she had TRAMES.—SDIVOOLINO.—Two Sweeps FINED 2001.- been told by the prisoner that Mr. Tanner was going to pay Two chimney-sweep, named J.

Manett 25.—T0-day the defence was opened, and Mr. Cockburn addressed the jury on behalf of the prisoners, in a speech remarkable for its eloquence, and the manner in which he grappled with the facts.—The wanteses were then examined on behalf of the prisoners. Thomas Gounitui said he bad known Johanna Breaks nine years. Me could not believe her upon her eath.—Other witnesses were about to be called to speak to the same effect, when Mr. Baron Platt said that there could be no doubt in the miads of every one in court that Johanna Brooks could not be believed unless confirmed by circumstances which could nut have come under her knowledge otherwise than oy the stat, ment of Ann Fisher. Mrs. Quinn, the turnkey of the prison, said that she had never observed any intimacy between Jo hanna Breoki and Ann Fidler whilst in pris a on, end had sever observed them together in conversation , Charlotte Finch : Had been tried for bigamy, and when in gaol was in the same division as Johanna Brooks and Ann Fish• r, and by day all were in the same room. Was there aboutsix weeks During that time she did not ob serve that Johanna Brooks and Ann Fisher were together more than the other prisoners. On the 23rd October she heard Brooks say, •• Well, lam going to lie tried to-day ; I hope I shall not get transported ' • but es for you. Fisher, you aro as innocent as I am, and will surely be acquitted." JohnWilmot was at Exwick on Saturday, when Brooke and his wife went to the Mille is Arms. They came about 10 o'clock. They were sitting over a pint of eider, and Brooks said " that he should be up again soon at the einem" lie, his wife, and her father then went up to bed, and about half an has after witness went up to the same room and slept there during the night. Whilst in bed Brooks's wife said that Fisher hail behaved very well through the time she was in gaol. She had alweys confessed to her that she had not done the deed. Brooks also said to his wife that it was a bad job, hut they would make it up, an he should be up again soon. That a common man got ss. a day, and he should get a great deal more being a tradesman. George White saw the witness Chedder Elliott in the Castle-yard, and she said to witness "that Fisher always protested and declared she was innocent, and all that she could say would be in her favour." This WISIICSI also denied everything that the witness Elliott had sworn to as having passed between them. W. Middleton, a parish officer, Wellington, said he would not believe the witness Tout on her oath. On crops-exami nation it appeared that Me,. Tout had one transaction only with this witness as parish officer, in which she had told a falsehood, and be should not like to believe her again. Several other witnesses, one of whom had known Mrs. Tout nearly two year', swore they could not believe her on her oath. Mn. Mott, wife of John Nott, knew Mrs. Ann Fisher ; said that she was never in Tiverton with Mrs. Fisher in her life, and never went with her to purchase arsenic at Mr. Wood's. Mr. Nott swore that his wife had not been in Tiverton for 21 years. That he had never beard a wor d of harm of Mrs. Fisher in his life. Mr. Waller said that Mrs. Nett was in the habit of work ing fur him, and he , swore that on the last Tuesday in July, and the first Tuesday in August sue never left his shop. Thomas Leech lived at Morehead. Is a labourer. First became acquainted with Ann Fisher six years ago. Did work for Fisher occasionally. Swore positively that he did not, in the depth of the night, between Friday evening and Saturday morning, go to Stubbon, and denied positively everything that had been alleged with regard to him. Several witnesses were then called to prove that Thomas Leech could not have been at Stubbon at the time slat( dby Mrs. Brooks. Wm. llawkes, brother of both prisoners, said that he was in the service of Richard Fisher at the time of his death. He remembered the morning of his death. He remembered Friday morning ; he was in the harvest field. Fisher came into the field about nine. Ile was cutting wheat. He bound ua some wheat and then sat down, saying he wasvery . pdorly, and went into the house. He did not cone out again. He went to bed about nine. Witness went into his room before going to bed . Ile said he was very poorly. That was at bed time. lie was called between one and two be Ann Fisher. She desired him to get up and go with the cart and ask her sister and brother-in-law to come. lie was also to go to Witheridgo for Mr. Cuts, the doctor, which he did. Mary Hodge was not at Stubbon between the Mond ty and Saturday morning. Nothing was ever said about poisoning Richard Fisher. Ile did not think his sister, Mary Hodge, had been to Tiverton since the fith July. The house at Stubbon was an old house, and the buildings were infested with rats. He herd Mr. Fialier say he would try to get rid of them. Rev. Geerge Sharlthel Cruwys said that Ann Fisher called upon him hi consult him as to the propriety' of having an in quiry es to the cause of her husband's death.—Mr. Lake gave evidence to the same effect. Mr. G. Tanner, was the attorney for the prisoners, and was A/ when Ann Fisher was first committed. Visited her in gaol many times. Never told her that he had agreed to give Alfred Hodge 301. to swear that he had seen old Fisher take the poison himself. Never held out any inducement or promise to Alfred Hodge to speak upon the subject. Ile never said a word about paying 301. nor of getting two women to personate those who bought the poison, hut Mrs. Fisher asked his advice whether it would not be a good plan to offer a reward for the persons to come forward who hail purchased the poison. This concluded the case for the defence. Mr. Baron Platt summed up, and did not conclude hie charge until one o'clock on Sunday mot ning ; when the jury, after a few mieutes' deliberation, returned a verdict of ac• quittal of both prisoners. MONEY MARKET. SATURDAY EvENINO. The funds received a check in their forward move ment this morning by the discouraging tenor of the intelligence from. France and other parts of the con tinent, not alone politically, but more especially commercially and financially. The accounts of the Bank of France, published, as made up, to the 22nd instant inclusive, testify not only to the extent of the pressure upon the banking and commercial classes of that capital, but to the diminishing resources of the public treasury, and the daily becoming more pre carious condition of the bank itself. From Germany, the advices financially come unfavourable also, but fortunately no commercial disasters of any magni tude are reported. Consols opened with a firm market r at 8:1 to 1, and advanced to 834, but upon the later t, accounts from abroad published in the Doily News, and other morning papers, prices temporarily went s down so low as 83, but subsequently recovered to, and left off at, 83 to for time and money. Money orders tor purchase continue to be the support of the market, most of them from the continent, but not a few cn home account. It is within our knowledge that sums are still waiting in some quarters for in vestment, upon the chance of the holders being t enabled to come in at lower prices, in the hopes of ' which parties are day by day defeated. But for th;s press of money upon the market for investment, • which is itself to a great if not to the whole extent the result of the political circumstances of the times, the convulsions abroad of every sort must otherwise have produced a considerable * distrust, and deprecia tion of values accordingly. Exchequer Bills left off 295. to 325. premium. The foreign market was inactive and neglected in the midst of excitement in the home funds. Prices may be quoted almost without alteration. Mexican, 141 to 15. New Granada, 13 to 14. Spanish Fives , 12! to 13; the Threes, 221 to 3 ; Passive, 34 to .1. Portuguese, 14 to 16. Dutch Twoand-a-Half per Cents, 41 to 3; the Fours, 61 to 3. Russian, 83 to 90. Brazilian, 68 to 72. Peruvian, 21 to 3. The Spanish American committee have received an acknowledgment from Lord Palmerston of the memorial presented to him, setting forth the long- I continued neglect by the 'government of Peru of the claims of the bondholders, and requesting his inter ference in their behalf, to the effect that his lordship had "instructed Mr. Pitt Adams, her Majesty's chafe. d'affaires at Lima, to take an early opportunity to press the claims of the Peruvian bondholders upon the Peruvian government," and that such instruction was forwarded to Lima by the mail of the 17th. It may be doubted whether mere official representa tions will have much effect, and other means of recourse according to official construction of the responsibility of a government in respect of loans to foreign states are not strictly allowable, and not perhaps improperly so, since it might come to be a grave inconvenience were the country to be held responsible, even to war, for enforcing obligations which do not seem to enter exactly within the category of individual commercial dealing, and in which parties should be fairly pre sumed to embark with a competent knowledge of the dubious position in which they arc thereby placed. The government is not, however, in consequence, whatever the complicated legality of the question in an international point of view, released from its obligation of obtaining, full and complete justice for the subject. There can, however, be no , doubt that in the hands of Lord Palmerston the in terests of the bondholders are in Ude keeping, for however else opinions may vary about the policy of his foreign administration, it is, and will be, admitted on all hands,that he has ever shown the greatest atten tion to the representations of the commercial interests, and equal assiduity in promoting and pressing their legitanate reclamations in foreign countries. the advices from Manchester of the state of trade there this week are on the whole more favourable, L and generally more confidence and a better state of feeling prevailed. examan 3 per CL Con, am, 331 Long Ann.. 30 years.

Daniel and John Funester, having heard that the prisoners were concocting forgeries upon banking.hoircs, watched them both for sometime, and at last apprehended them with some of the evidences of their guilt about them. in a public house in Poland-street, where they attempted to burn the spurious notes, but were prevented.—Brown said nothing, and both prisoners were committed for trial. BOW-STREET. —AN OLD SWINDLER. 11. A. Green was finally examined, charged with various acts of swindling, by obtaining money from several persons, under pretence of inserting their advertisements in a journal called the l'arliamentm y Chronicle, of which he repre sented that he was the proprietor, and also with obtain• ing by fraudulent means goods from tradesmen in different parts or the town. The facts of this case have already ap peared. Fresh evidence having been given to complete the charges the prisoner was committed for trial.: LAMBETLI.—A HOPEFUL SON.—W. Kipling, egad 19, was charged with violently assaulting his father with a poker.—Constable Johnson said that the preceding evening the prisoner was given into his custody by his father, but who was not now in attendance, but had sent Mrs Kipling to explain the matter.—The prisoner, with much sondes ionce, said his father was continually abusing him ht h , and frequently without the slightest cause ; and on t h e nig before, while at his tea, he struck him with a kettle on the head, and stunned him. When he recovered, he would admit that he had struck his father five or six times, but he denied using the poker.—Mr. Norton observed that, what ever might have been the temper of his father, the acknow ledgment of the prisoner that he had struck him five father or six times was very di sg raceful to him ; however, as his had not thought proper to attend, he should discharge the prisoner. DOXATION.—Mr. Norton received an order for the pay ment of 201., left by the late Mr. Maelew, as a donation to the poor-box.

Our market was of a generally more favourable complexion on Saturday, with a tendency to improve ment, and greater confidence amongst dealers. It may be remarked of the last few days that more orders wire received by the brokers for investment than usual. The chief improvement on Saturday was in York and Newcastles, and York and North Midlands stocks. Eastern Counties, Blackwalls and Eastern Counties, were also better looked upon. French shares were decidedly worse.

SU only trade that at all wears a satigactory appesrance is that of the country houses, which is brisker than fore. me time past. Sala of yarns have only been effected at a reduction of prices. WOOLLEN CLOTEB.—Lhaps, MARCH 2d.—The Cloth Halls to-day were very thinly attended by merchant., and the quis• City of business transacted was very small in comparison with what we have recently had to report. The Goths disposed of were of the saute character so those which have of late been most in demand. IRON TRADE.—BIRMINGHAM, MARCH 2.s.—With the approach of quarter-tiny the iron trade is gradually moaning a more healthy aspect. Yor pin the demand is steadily inenwing ; pricer have consequently become very firm. blue the men resumed work, the iron manufacture of the district bas Bern %es dually improving—the houses are better supplied w Ali orders than an they have been for some time past, so that no doubt be entertained on the eubjeet of current prime being adhered to at the coming quarter-day. Reports that large quantitii% of iron from abroad has come in •n considerable quontitie%, ao e wieoeit confirm. tlon ; the probability at any rate is, that on tlii% subject fare has been tome exaggeration. At present prices, and under existing mre latione, the English makers will doubtlem be able to command Ore greatest nurrketa en the world. Luring the lest few week-, the de mand far iron for the continent has been next to nothing ; neeerthe the requirements for home purporos have greatly Mei eved, and with the certainty of their being more so as the opine :Avow's. and the ranwsys in ooarse of construction ore more rapi ins proceeded with. It is pleasurable to be enabled to report thew eignitimOom of better times, after the gloom which bap for so many months been cast over this important branch of our manufacturing indmtry.
