SUFFOLK. ACCIDENTAL POISONINEL—An accident, by which one female met her death, and twelve other persons, men, women, and children, suffered severely, happened at Felt well and Hockwold a few days since. Mr. Tombs, farmer, of Feltwell Fen, his wife, one son, and three daughter, were taken suddenly and violently ill ifter breakfast. A surgeon was sent for, who found them suffering severely from the effects of poison. In the evening the same gentlemso • was sent he in great haste to a family residing at Hockwold, named Watson • but previous to his arrival one daughter, 30 years of age, h ad died , and the rest Men pronounced to be suffering from poison.

The father and the other daughter, as well ..,. as the family of Mr. Jacobs, are quite TOOOTerOdi. The cause of these occurrences has been dime vered to have been as follows :—Mrs. Parkinson, the wife of•• firmer, in her husband's absence, sent a month of corn to the mill to be ground, but by mistake put three bushels o wheat into a seek containing a bushel of wheat which had been dressed for seed, being the clearings of the drill, and containing a quantity of arsenic. From this a considerable quantity of arsenic must have been left in the stones of the mill, and affeeted the next coomb of corn, which was sent to be ground for Mr. Jacobs, end a quantity of wheat was ground for another filially, which was not used. The nett corn sent was a bushel of wheat from Watson. The flour we. sent home and a pudding mole for supper, and immediately afterwards the whole family was taken ill. It Ives fortunate that for the want of wind the mill was prevented grinding for several days, and in the meantime the accident was dis covered, or the consequences might have been still more se rious. An inquest was held on Monday last at Hockwold on the body of 'Harriet Watson, when a verdict of Accidental Death was returned. FAUX. THIN BOWINO.—The following letter appears in the Essex Herald of Tuesday ,—Wix, Manninpres, Dec. 24,1847. Sir,—Last year my wheat was seeded with 2; pecks per sere. The produce for the market is 13 coombs per acre, the weight per coomb, including the sack, 17 stone sad 10 pounds. The corn was measured in the presence of respect able farmers; the land was measured by three farmers; the grain was weighed by a corn merchant to settie a wager eon cenung it with another corn-merchant.

I asked her from what same she had lost her nose, and she said it was from her husband's bed husbandactions : the said nothlog. I asked hire why he had put her in there, and he said she had been very trouble some, mid be had put her in there to keep her quiet. He meld at times she was very disorderly. From aU I saw my self in talking with her she seemed quite in her right mind. Jabal Smith lives in the house above, and I fetched him to see the state she was in. I took the prisoner to the police °Mos.—By the Court: She oould not stand in the place. I inquired how she was fed, and he said she got her meat handed to her by the savant. She herself said she had not got her meat very regularly. She had a bowl of water in a filthy state b.de her. I understood from her statement that sbe had been there day and night. The prisoner gave no other explanation of her treatment than that it was to keep her quiet. There were five workmen sitting at their welt in one of the front roams. In another his daughter, 12 years of age, was lying very ill. The panel is a sort of master tradesman, a boot and shoemaker, but without a front shop. He has no sign up. In returning to the room, after his wife bad been removed from the hospital, I found 181. 17s. 6d. in money. James Smith, clerk in the Water Company's Office, lived in the hones above the prisoner. This witness's evident* was chiefly corroborative of that of the preceding witness. Thomas Rom, a plumber, in the employment of the Glas gow Water Company, deposed to having been gent in July to mead the water-pipes in Fay's house, on which occasion he looked into the water-closet. He there saw no object lying, and from what afterwards transpired he believed it was a human being.—By the Court : Could not say now what his opinion was then as to what that object might be. Being admonished by the court, and reminded that he was upon his oath, the witness said, " Well, my lord, I believed it to be a human being, but I did not see it." (The witness showed so much limitation and indecision in answering the questions that the Lord Justice Clerk at length told him that if he did not answer the questions at once and without any prevarica tion, he would be committed for contempt.) Witness' then went on to state that he came out of the clout as fast as he could, as he knew that fever was prevalent at the time, and he thought the person was lying ill of it. (The Lord Justice Clerk said this evidence was the most disgraceful he had ever heard in a court of jostles.) Witness could not recollect whether or not he had told the preceding witness, Smith, of his haviog seen • human being there, but was certain he had had some conversation with him upon the subject. Margaret Hume.—Came to Glasgow about eight months ego to look after work. Had a brother who worked with the prisoner, and applied to the prisoner for service, and was en gaged by him. This witness gave information respecting the state of the deceased's apparel when she (witness) went to the house, and said the water-closet was prepared for Mn. I Fay. She described the placing of the boxes and boards in the water-closet, and said sheets were also placed in it, and a slip stuffed with cotton. The door was fastened on the out side with a sixpenny nail. From the time Mrs. Fay wag first there till Campbell removed her, witness saw the water clout several times cleaned with water and soap, and fresh straw put in. The straw on its removal was always filthy. Winless had not the charge of cleaning out that closet; It was done by prisoner's daughter ; witness had charge of the rest of the house. Mrs. Fay was labouring under a disease et the face ; no surgeon was called ; when medicine was wanted for her, the pruoner got it. There was a surgeon in attend. ance on prisoner's daughter during part of the time, but ha never saw Mrs. Fay. The closet was generally open, and was opened and shut at Mrs. Fay's desire. She would sometimes • out unclothed and walk through the bowie in the day. light. There were six workmen in the house, but she kept out of the room in which they sat. She generally took her victuals by the kitchen fire until& few days before her daugh ter ley down with fever. She could not walk alone, and had always to b llliited. Witnele sometimes sedated her to bed. It would be three weeks before Mr. Campbell came whoa the grow was laid changed. [The witness here showed en saws= to extend her replies beyond the point involved la the gqsarties, as if she desired to make her evidence as `vemrable for the prisoner en possible, which elicited a warn ing from the ceurt.]—By Mr. Ayton The water-closet was net and by any one else in the house. When they removed to St. Mango street she was decrepit. She seemed to be very bad about the face. When any strangers came into the kitchen she generally eat and looked at them. She went in and out of the water-closet of her own accord—whenever she thought fit. She was furnished with a towel, cloth, and soap, to dean herself, if she thought fit. Witness asked her Meow, but she never would. She was in the habit of tearing her clothes. When that took place she had other clothes given her. Neva heard Mr. Fay speak harshly to her; he always yoke (when he did speak) in a feeling manner. The de emed walked from the house in Charlotte-street to the hems fa St. Ifimpretreet, and took twenty minutes. At belakbet she had partridge, and sometimes tea ; in the forf eits& iihe had a. " glees [of breed] and a drink; generally had Mae for dimmer, and porridge and milk for supper. Ile gas as wallowed with victuals as the rest of the fa ;Op. The dimes and blankets were often changed. They had just been taking them out shortly before Campbell came, sad intended to remove the straw.—By the court: She tore /Rae gown, and bonnet, andshawl which she had before they ; awned to St. Mungo-street. She constantly tore off her Molhes. She was supplied with two gowns besides the one the had on when she went into the closet. She put them on herself, but afterwards tore them. When Campbell came 1 mid I would lend her some of my clothes if she had none of her own, or if her own were not fit to go on. Some of wit nom's clothes were mxordingly put on her. The sheets had been out of the clout to dry in the course of the three weeks before Campbell came ; Mrs. Fey reached them out. Wit nem could not tell how it was that the liar was on the closet Ihe day that Campbell called. cast2Gillespie, a muse in the Town's Hospital, who deceased with the help of another person gave eel dente as to the state in which she was. In addition to the filthy condition of her body, she had a cough and a severe bowel complaint, as also a pain in one of her sides. The room in which she lay had to be frequently fumigated. She was too weak to speak when she came, but she got somewhat better in consequence of being well treated; and never saw anything about her which implied that she was out of her mind.—By the Court : She did not dislike to be well treated; she liked to be soft and easy ; and did not complain of being cleaned. _ . . .• The deceased's deposition, taken by the sheriff-substitu., in the Town's Hospital, was then read, in which she stated that she was 29 years of age, a native of Ireland, and had been 13 years married to the prisoner ; that five years ago she became affected with a loathsome disease which the caught from her husband. That she was attended by a Mr. Brawn, • surgeon, for this dimes, but she drank much spirite, and it got worse.

Other evidence was called to show that the (comfort of the deceased had been pro perly attended to by the husband so long as that was practicable in connexion with her habits and conduct. Some of the shoemakers who had worked in the house were also called, and one of them deposed that a few weeks before the. time when Fay shifted from Charlotte-street to Bt. Mrg e street, he (Fay) . asked witness if he would take a a house, fifth a view to his (witness's) wife taking charge al pristmees wife. The rent was to be paid by Fay.

'The Lord Justice Clerk, in poising sentence, said— gouge Fay, for any purpose of piloting out the enormity of the crime of which yen have been convicted—the creel, barbarous god unnatural deed of which you have been found guilty, that of culpable homicide of your wife by hav ing bereaved her of her life—for any purpose of pointing out the enormity of that offence, ft to indeed very unnecessary for me to speak, And though, for your own sake, one would wisb to bring you to a deep sense of the heinous guilt of which you .have been convicted, I very much fear that, considering the course of hardened, con tinued, unrelenting cruelty—cruelty continued and persevered in until she was brought to the lamentable and ale/gusting state in which she was found, it requtres some thing more than the power of man to awaken you to a aenue of your guilt. Ido not know that the annals of this court ever exhibited such a continued COWSe of cruel—moat cruel, barbarous conduct, continued from day to day, till you seem to have been so familiarised with it, that no sense of shame u regarded the others in the house, no consideration of the consequences on the penes of your wife, :seemed to produce the slightest effect on the mine of yourself or indeed of any one in the holm.

Any punishment in. flicted by the laws, in so far as regards your position, is of but little importance. Your life hereafter may be miserable, and Indus your exirenoe in this world be one of repentance it will only lead you to future and more severe punishment.

The prisoner was instantly taken into custody, and the watch was found on him.

On Tues day he gave him into custody. The case was remanded till yesterday, for the purpose of getting further evidence.—.H. Taylor, clerk to Mr. Lochner, proctor, 13, GrearCarter. street, dated that the prisoner had applied for a Christ mas-box.

MARYLEBONE. ROBBIE! OP Jawate,arc. —J. Phillipson and H. Anderson, alias Fair, were re-examined on the charge of having broken into the dwelling-hum of Major-Gen. - Fleming, of Baker.street, Portman-square, and there attempted to carry off two boxes from the general's bedroom containing jewellery and mall to a considerable amount; they were also charged with having violently as malted a female servant by whom they were discovered. The prisoners were remanded at the request of Inspector Barker, of the S division, who alleged that he should no doubt be able to substan tiate another case of extensive and daring plunder against the accused parties.—The inspector now brought forward witnesses with regard to the connexion of the prisoners with others concerned In a large robbery at a furnished, but untenanted, hour belonging to Hugh Riley, Req., at 36, Upper Grosvenor.street. On the 2nd ult, in the evening, some one went to the house of Mr. Dark, a carman in Robert-street, Grosvenor-square, and ordered that a van should be sent to Mr. Riley'a houae, for the parpou of removing goods. The van was accordingly sent at once, and on its arriving there a large quantity of property, consisting of no fewer than 7 beds, 32 blankets, some carpets, curtains, pictures &c., were placed in the vehicle, which was completely lo•ded by four men, who were on the premises, two of whom were the prisoners. The van, with its valuable contents, was, Irepeollistoedirmeacktieorn: givene ITay, the i d er7e r nter dra -s w tre n e u t p , rpittle flehm, who has absconded ; but u there was a person then present, who was a stranger, when he (Ray) was requested to take them in, the van went on some distance farther, and it was ultimately taken posswaion of by Mr. Barker, who bad received such information from the said visitor at the rhop which fully satisfied him that an . extensive ro . bbery . harl I rrxr ted o .lti n ns i t r i o tu ra te t t e inquiry, alitehavving gained roceeded t.

It was stated that within the tut three weeks numerous complaints had been made to the police by the residents of Beigrave-square, Chelsea, and Brampton., of the scutcheone and other brass ornaments outside their street doors having been stolen. Berjeant Mulcahy, 182, was informed that some children were in the habit of dis- EV:ftil' property of the kind to the female prisoner, and at to her house, and after her denying that she had purchased anything of that kind he examined one of her drawers, and found between 20 and 30 of the ornaments de scribed.

TUE FRENCH " OPERA NATIONAL."--The Parisian opera-house recently established under the above title has what the French all a apacialiti of its own, distinct from the Academie Royale or the Opira Comique. Its purpose is to furnish the public with a class of pieces of a more na ti onal and generally popular character than those which are pro duced at the two other musical theatres ; and it has begun its course apparently with judgment and success. It professes to give not only new works by the native composers of the day, but to revive the beet pieces of the " ancien repertoire." We find in the Gaulle Musicale a full account of the pro duction, a few days ago, of Monsigny's comic opera, " Felix, ou l'Ecfant Trouvi," one of the favourites of the public three-quarters of a century ago. Monsigny was the contem porary of Oretry, to whom he was scarcely inferior, the beauty, simplicity, and national character of his music. "Le Diserteur" became popular all over Europe, this country included ; and " L'Enfant Trouve," though from some unaccountable circumstance it was coldly re ceived at fleet, kept constant posaessioa of the stage for more than forty years. It is remarkable that though Mocsigny produced this opera in the flower of his age, and lived nearly half is century afterwards, it was his list work, its cold reception having made an impression on his mind which nothing, not even its subsequent success, was able to efface. The author of the drama was the cele brated Sedaine, who also wrote most of the principal operas of Cinitry. This piece, now revived at the " Opera Na• tional," under the direction of Adolphe Adam, appears to have been got up with all the care due to a new work, to have been excellently performed, and moat cordially re ceived by the public. What a pleasant thing it would be if we, in London, had a musical theatre precisely correspond ing to this new " Opera National "in Paris—a theatre in which we could find the gem, of our own ancien re pertoire, the operas of our Arnes, Arnold", Shields, and Stances — the pieces in which our Banton', Brahams, and Stephanie' gained their laurels—not got up in a slovenly way as occasional afterpieces at minor theatres, but represented ea they seed to be when they were the delight of every lover of English melody! But the French, notwithstanding the levity imputed to them, are (in matters of taste, at least) much leas fickle and inconstant than we are. MADAME CATALANI.—Mr. Gardiner, of Leicester, in his work, "Sights in Italy," just published, gives an account of a visit paid by him to this celebrated lady a few months ago, at Florence. "We called," he says, " upon Madame Catalani, who leaves her palauo on the side of the mountains in the winter months to reside with her son Volabreque, in Thiene.. She presently made her ap pearance with that vivacity and captivating manner which so much delighted us is England. She retains her English, and was pleased to talk to me in my own language. 1 ob served, that it was forty years since I first heard her at the opera in London. She instantly replied ' thirty-nine. I was in Portugal in 1807; and, though the war was raging, I ventured to make my way to England through France. When at Paris I was denied a passport. However, I got introduced to Talleprand, and by the aid of a handful of gold I was put into a government boat, and ordered to lie down to avoid being shot, and, won derful to relate, I got over in safety, with my little boy, seven months old.' I was surprised at the vigour of Ma dame Catalani, and how little she was altered since I saw her at Derby in 1828. I paid her a compliment upon her good looks. ' Ala !' said she, ' I'm grown old and ugly.' I would not allow it. ' Why, man,' she said, ' I'm sixty six!' She has lost none ef that commanding exprenien which gave her such dignity on the stage. She is without a wrinkle, and appears to be no more than forty. Her breadth of chest is still remarkable ; it was this which endowed her with the finest voice that ever sang. Her speaking voice and dramatic air are still charming, and not in the least im paired." CLERICAL Psgsehra C. H. Dale to St. Matthew, Ips wich,/L, do. Norw. •, 3301., with residence ; pat.

CM Howe KAMP.—ill A GOVBRIMINI A flearstre I—This wee an action brought to reviver the sum of 191. 12a, on a breach of contract. The defendant denied that any breach had taken plane.—Mr. Biegoosi—mid--in this case a point of very considerable importance arose—namely, se to whether • governess in a gebtlemen's family came within the mean ing of the law in eases of diem the same as a common servant. The defendant was • gentleman of property in the City of London, and op the 6th of October, 1846, the plain tiff wag =gaged as governess to the defendant's children, and In thiitituation she continued up to the 6th of June is the present year. The defendant, in the above month, had his bra reduced by death when, to the surprise of the tiff, she received a month's notice from Mrs. emp. The plaintiff bad been engaged at a salary of 201. per annum, with her board and washing. Now, what was contended for was, that • governess did not oome within the description of a common *errant, and therefore was entitled to six months' notice, and not • month, as custom had fixed between master and servant. At the end of the month the defendant ten dered the sum of 31. 6s. 84., as the two months' wages, which was refused. The plaintiff's claim was as follows; for six months' wages, in lieu of notice, 101.; for board and washing for the period of five months, at I2a. per week, 91. 12a ; making • total of 191. 124. By one of the defend. ant's plan he stated there was • contract that • month's notice should be given ; but this she (plaintiff) denied, and besides, unless it was in writing, it was of no avail. The question was one of very considerable importance,—indeed the principle was well - known that governesses were not deemed household venues. The plaintiff was then called, and by her evidence supported the above facto—Mr. Bu chanan, on the part of the defendant, contended that the plaintiff was only entitled to thasegular monthly notice; that sbn..,Walcnoffwa la the.Fufmrys end hardwire were to dress the children, teach then% the er.iit rudiments of education, and to take inem 'Nis foe an vf.ring, so in Let the odor part of her I duties were those of i domestic servant He would how. .- . . . i ever. 7,atose au uonbt, if any existed, by caning a may ebb wen Present when the plaintiff was engaged, and who would prove that • sponge contract for • mouth's mottos was agreed upon by each party.—Miss Carter was then called, and proved that she was on a visit at Mr. Hemp's when the plaintiff was engaged, and that a month's notice was weed upon.—Mr. Bissood having replied, Mr. Commissioner Bullock observed there could be no occasion for him to de tide whether • fOTITIIIIIII was • household servant or not, as a contract had been hilly proved, which did away with all custom. The defendant was entitled to the judgment of the ; court.—Mi. Hemp then paid the plaintiff 31.64. 84., the two months' &sty. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. _..... GLASGOW WINTER CIRCUIT.—Dec. 27.

Lane was charged with as asnlnng W. Heard, a fellow-lodger, who came home on Tuesday night, and finding the prisoner quarrelling with his wife and he would have no row there, and told him to de net. Lane ordered. Heard out of his room, and, on his re fusal to leave, took up a pork.butcher's chopper, with which he inflicted two blows on his head. Heard fell, and clung to the prisoner's legs, and received a serious kick on the mouth. The prisoner, in defence, said that Heard struck him first, and that he took up a piece of wood in self-defence, and struck Heard. He denied using the chopper.—Mr„ Yardley fined the prisoner 61., and in default of payment committed him to prison for two months. Srs vsneo.—J . Robinson was charged with feloniously wounlng Mr. E. Hodges, the landlord of the White Horse, Poplar. The prisoner entered the prosecutor's house, and haring had some drink was about to lease without paying for it, when the barman stopped him, and Mr. Hodges put his band on the prisoner's shoulder and said be could not leave the house till be had paid for the liquor. The prisoner, unperceived by Mr. Hodges, unsheathed a long sharp point, d dirk from a stick he carried, and made a plunge at Mr. Hodges. An exclamation from the prosecutor's daughter induced him to fall back, and he received a super- Adel wound on the left thigh.—The prisoner, who declared his ignorance of having done anything wrong, was com mitted for trial. CNARITY.—Mr. Yardley requested acknowledgment of the receipt of the second part of is 51. bank note from J.E. T., for the ypoor-box. HAMMERSMITH. ASSAULT AND ROBBERY. —F. Dyett was charged with having been concerned, with others not lit custody, in the committal of a robbery, accompanied with assault and outrage, on an old woman, named Mary Phelpe—The complainant, who bore proofs of the Violence she had received, her face being lacerated and her eyes swollen and discoloured, deposed that on Monday afternoon she went into the Bricklayers' Arms beer-shop in that locality, to have half a pint of beer; she then went into the back yard, but had scarcely been there a minute or two before a number of men burst into the yard and at tacked her, stole her cloak ands half-crown, two shillings, and sixpence in coppers front her pocket, and beat her over her head in the manner she then appeared. She cried " Murder," but they stifled her cries. The landlord at last came with a light, and said, " Oh, who is using a poor soul so 1" He took her away from them, and seat a person with her to see her home.—ln answer to Mr. Paynter she said she was too ill on the Tuesday to come to that court and complain of the treatment she had received. She was sober, and was sure the prisoner was one of the men. George Rolme, the land lord, could prove what the had stated, and his daughter could prove that she was sober.—The prisoner deolared that he was perfectly innocent, that he was not there, and knew nothieg about the transaction.—The complainant asserted her confidence that be was one of the men.—Mr. Poynter then remanded the prisoner until Saturday.

Lai c A=D the King of the French to his Chambers was sea gbed • in some quarters as being mainly instrumental to ai l depression ; but however vague and unsatid ae . tory it might perhaps be in other respects, it must be admitted to read favourably en eei i i with regard to the adjustment finally of the La Plata question, which to the interests of British commerce is of no inconsiderable importance. Again, th e e d, vices that the Bank of France, following in degreeth e movement of the Bank of England, has reduced e ta rate of discount and interest to 4 per cent., should be viewed favourably as an indication of the gr eat , easiness of money in Paris, and therefore, of th e greater confidence restored commercially there more than here. The difference between the 5 p ee cent. rate here and the 4 per cent. there, will still ops. rate naturally to prevent any transmission of funds from this for better employment on that side. The heaviness of the funds must evidently b e l e . cribable to other circumstances, and those mote ad domestic than of foreign origin. A certain state of apprehension indeed still prevails about the winding up of the year's accounts, and the event of the heavy bill day of the 4th proximo. Notwithstanding th e Bank reduction of interest to 5 per cent., money ea a hardly be reported more easy for any but such pap er of the first class as would be readily absorbed by th e Bank itself, but that some portion is still obtained by other banks and discount houses, on agreement to charge fractionally lower terms still. Discount so. commodation in the general acceptation is, howevw, scarcely more within the reach of the industrial lats rests at large than before. With a timidity or (sod en apparently in excess, which cannot be blamable invi t e o times and circumstances only too fresh in the ne , collection of all, discount houses, large and miler, decline to look at bills of undeniable first second-elme quality, formerly so acceptable, and ranking 'within' mere shade of first-clans, with leas than four or fiv e responsible endorsements upon them, whilst good co- dinary second-class paper is subjected, when accepted at an, to more onerous conditions of scrutiny pill . The hardship of this keenly discriminating syele v ; most severely experienced by the wholesale ware housing and retail interests of the metropolis, whet in former times have been accustomed to sort of free pratique of discounts, and were among the best customers of the discoed houses, both for accommodation as required, and fer supplying them with spare funds at times for et ployment on call at specified terms. Fortunately the ke, both private and joint stock, are more hbmal with their clients of good repute than usual, and the to some extent the embarrassments which might otherwise result from the present uncertain and ambiguous state of the money market are obviated, . It must be evident, however, that credit is yet far from being in a healthy state, and that the mere to. elution of the rate of interest by the Bank has added, and can add, little to public confidence, so long as . that establishment restricts its own facilities within e so confined a range as the first-class bills, of which so few are now in circulation. The whole bill circa , lation of the country, indeed, may be assomed, from the facts of the few comparatively offering, or falling due, to be narrowed within a circle so comparatively reduced as scarcely to be paralleled for the last score of years. It is to be hoped that the next accounts from the United States may bring money affairs and the rates of discount much more easy and moderate than before, for otherwise there may chance to be reflux of specie and capital to that country, which would scarcely contribute to render money matter. more satisfactory here.
