Barney, the au foxden of the mew eakiny of North Australia, sailed Sydney on the fith of Ju.nary, to lay the foundations al that onticment. According to the Australian, the site that has been selected for the capital, or at least for the first Ms, is Port Curtis. This locality was originally discovered by Flinders in 1801, and explored by Oxley in Noe., 1823. It is Mutated nearly in 24 deg. S. lat., and 131 deg. 46 min. , Rica. It had been called Rodd's Bay by Captain King. It is of difficult aortas and the river which falls into it (called by Oxley the Boyne) is liable to excessive floods. About twelve mules to the S.E. a harbour was discovered by the mate of the reveal which conveyed Mr. Oxley to Port Curtis, to which the entry is half a mile wide, and the anchorage (in five fathoms) perfectly land. lotted. About two degrees to the northward of Port Curtis b Braid Sound, into which falls a large river, yet unex plored, which, judging from Dr. Leiehhardt's discoveries, is my likely to prove the easiest channel of anus to the high table land, with its healthy climate, adequate supply of mmospberic moisture, and excellent grasing grounds. Upon what principle Col. Barney's choice of a site has been fixed does not appear, but it has been severely animadverted upon is the colony. Throughout the colony the returns of the grain harvest, notwithstanding a gold deal of wet weather during the reaping lesson, appear to have been above the average. At thandagai (on the Upper Morumbidgee), the rains had destroyed the hay crop. At Moreton Bay they had covered the country with luxuriant herbage. The wool-clips were beginning to arrive at the sea-port.. It was yet too early to form a definite opinion of their prospects, but the mann patios/ were on the whole fsvourable. An important meeting of electors had been held at (fool barn, on the subject of a return to transportation. A large majority declared in favour of the abolition of penal settle ments throughout Australia and the adjacent regions, but expressed a wish that parties condemned for political, mili tary, or " slight " offences, might be sent to the colonies as "talks." PORT PHILIP.—The Enterprise, that arrived at Liverpool on Saturday, has brought news from this colony to the 22nd of January. Freights were exceedingly high, and an estrercely great de nand fir labourers prevailed. NEW ZEALAND.—A Nekam Examiner (by-the by the arrivals from this settlement are much more desul tory end irregular than from any other in New Zealand), of the sth of December last, mentions the departure of Mr. Bruner, accompanied by two natives, to attempt alterna tively :—to pass from the south of Howick Lake to the open country below ; or to trace the Buller to Its mouth. On reaching the °out, he was to proceed to Araurs, in lat. 43 , deg., the termination of his journey along the west coast last winter i and thence to eras the island to Port Cooper. From that point he was to attempt to reach the heads of some one of the great southern riven, and to strike the coast again about the southern boundary of the New Edinburgh settle ment. The New Zealander (Auckland) of 23rd January, re ceived by the Driver, states that no personal interview took place between the Governor and Heki at the visit of the former to the Bay of Islands. Heki was afraid to venture himself on board the Driver, and is now mortified at having lost a chance of art interview. WEST LNDIES.—ANTIOIIA.—By the Lydia, ar rived at Liverpool on Saturday, accounts front this island to the 15th ult. have reached us. The sugar crop it was ex pected, would be more than averagely good. Beautiful weather tended still more to confirm this opinion. Zbe Court.

The dancing then ceased. The distinguished guests immediately took their departure, and so great were the facilities for Vest afforded by the temporary entrances, and so complete the arraugements with respect to the carriages, that in lees than half an hour the whole of the numerous company pre sent at this regal fife had quitted the palace.

(Loud cries of "No, rn," and other marks of disapprobation.) The mo tioa having been seconded, Mr. Joseph r. gretted that he felt it his duty to oppose the proposition. The letter of the hon. and gallant admiral was nothing more nor less than an electioneering move. That being the we. he thought it had been most improperly sent, and he would therefore move that the vestry proceed to the next business of the ilay. The amendment having been put, was carried by a large majority. VENTILATION OP THE NEW HOUSE OF PEER/I. Di. EEPLY TO Di. FARADAT.—A lecture was delivered on Saturday evening, at Willis's Rooms, St. James's, by Dr. Reid, in reply to Dr. Faraday's lecture at the Royal Institution, on the subject of the warming and ventilation of the new House of Peers. Dr. Reid corn mewed with some onservations on sanitary improvement, its ultimate connexion with the progress of science, and the great importance of a more general attention to the subject, quoting extracts from his own evidence before the com mittee of the Horse of Commons in 1845, when he endea voured to show that it would not be difficult to double the value of the poor man's income by an improved system of education, and the sanitary measures necessarily accompanying it. Pausing to the more immediate object of the lecture, Dr. Reid observed that he felt himself called upon to break the official ail .ace which it would have been his desire under other circumstances to have preserved until communications, at present under con sideration, should have assumed a definite position. When, however, Dr. Ferriday did not content himself with the official duties to which he had adverted, but used the Royal Institution as an arena tir lecturing publicly on the wsrming and ventilating of the New Houses of Peers, according to what he had designated as a new philosophical principle, it was surely time for him (Dr. Reid) to meet the state ment, and frankly admit the novelty, if he consi dered it one, or state any other view he might entertain on the subject, if, on examination, he should am reason for so doing. Did he offer any objection to Dr. For. aday having been called in on the present occasion ? On the contrary he thought it was a course that would receive uni. venal commendation. But that did not hind him to Dr. Faraday's opinions, nor did he enter on there opinions or statements farther than as they appeared in the public peers ; sad he selected on the present occasion that of the Atheneum, se it had been currently ststed that the report there had the sanction of the secretary of the Royal Instittrion. Dr. Reid then entered seriatim into a consideration of the statements in the report upon the su'j,ct, illustrating by models and diagrams the various points to which he directed attention ; denying altogether that there was any peculiarity in the principles introduced in the New House of Peen, that had not engaged his ( Or. Reid's) attention, and which was not illustrated or practised either in models or on special occasions, in the Painted Chamber, when occupied as the House of Peers. He would fully accord to Mr. Barry the credit of such combinations as should be manifested in his works, when he (Dr. it , id) should have the opportunity of examining them. In the meantime, therefore, he confined himself to the Atheniewm, and considered that he had afforded evidence that, if plans bad not been suggested to Mr. Barry, such as he had adopted in the House of Peers it was not because they were ' unknown or neglected, but because it was felt and maenad that better pleas could be introduced, giving Mr. Barry sway twat toe say combination he hid proposed, with • whet lmembsden at what he was willing to accord to himself ,• oldlstemerds him (Dr. Reid) a coarse was adopted that led to the dish' communications, which he had transmitted two Jean ego to the proper quarter. Dr. Reid concluded his haws, by detailing what he designated certain sys tematic misrepresentations to which he considered he had been 'objected by some portions of the newspaper press; ad neeling also to the retention by Mr. Hardwick., Mr. Ste , d Professor Graham, of a document, by which =d ad of an importnnt portion of the eridenes that contradicted the assertions made before a committee of the house of peers, on the consideration of whose report an address to the crown was carried, depriving him of the ventilation of the new buildisg. ST. ANN'S SOCIETY.—The anniversary festival of the Royal Asylum of the St. Ann's Society took place cm Saturday, at the London Tavern. B.S. Cabbell, E-q.. H.P. in the chair. In giving " The health of the Prince of Wales," the chairman announced that her Majesty, in the name and on behalf of the young patron, had given upwards ef 2601. to the asylum. After the routine tosats, toe chairman gave " The Archbishop of Canterbury and the Dean of Hereford," and he thought he need scarcely do more then remind them of the lively interest his grace had always takeu in the asylum. The children of the society's schools here entered to the number of between two and three hun dred ; and after one of the boys had spoken an address very creditably, the very Rev. the Dean of Hereford Wassail the children, reminding them of the obligations they were nudes to the company then present, and exhorting thenrto profit by the opportunities offered them of becoming useful members o society. That those opportunitses were abundant was evident from the fact that there werepersons present in that room who had bum brought up at the asylum of St. Ann's, axd who were irate Wed to a high position in society, and were able to mist some return for the benefits conferred on them by the ispilem. The chairman, in giving " Prosperity and perms ow to the Society of St. Ann's," thought that the sight alibi children then before them would plead more eloquently will the company than aught he could my. The children then received sixpence each from the secretary, and left the ram. Sir William Jolla. gave the health of the chairman, who, he said, was a strong and staunch friend of the society. Amon g the subscriptions announced were:-2621. from H.R.H. the Prince of Wales, 211. from the chairman, 101. 10s. from the Queen, 101. 10s. from the Queen-Dowager, 260 guineas from Miss Burdett Coutte, 421. from four young belie., 811. 13s. from E. Brewster, Esq and friends, with I many ethers of c inaiderable amount. The schools now con tain altogether Al children, of whom 234 in the Royal Asylum are wholly provided for; and the remainder, those in the town school, are clothed and educated. Within the lag ten years, dens to the amount of 2,100/. have been pia off ; new schools have been built and repairs done at an of more thin 1,2001 , the whole of which has been = n and paid off ; galleries in Streatham New Chunk hams his purchased in perpetuity for 3151 ; and in eallien lasi Mi. clueing the rind above mentioned, the seshrtg has Simla upwards 0(5 pe ,0001.

THE MIDDLESEX HOSPITAL ANNIVERSARY DINNER.. —This festival took plain on Saturday at the Thetas& home, St. James's-stoat; Sir W. Stirling, Bart., Is the chair. From a printed report distributed to the goals It appeared that the ordleary annual income of the imilee bon amounted to 8,32 K ; the ordinary empmallsteei tie 8,2861.

Caw.—Letters were re ceived on Saturday from Launceston, communicating the pertitulars of the sinking of the ship Prima Donna, and the under of the commander, Captain Jones, and his officers. by the crew. TM mud, it appears, had called at Lewbock for water and rice, being hound firma China to Hobart Town and England. In the latter part of December last, the Prima Donna's long boat, containing 14 of the crew, all Manilla men, arrived at the port of Bailey (in the Java sea), the ship, according to their statement, having foundered southward of Java, and the captain and his officers had perished. Subsequently, when questioned more fully as to their fate, their statements differed so widely, that no rea sonable doubt could be entertained but that they wire cruelly murdered, and the ship plundered and sunk. The whole of the crew have been placed under arrest, and search is being made in the locality, where the ship is said to have been scuttled, for the remains of tho captain and officers. It was expected several would divulge the circumstances The 'hip and cargo were valued at 8,0001. CARRIAGE ACCIDENT.—On Saturday afternoon, an accident occurred at the lower end of the Regent Quadrant, near Piccadilly, by which two children and a young woman sustained the most serious injuries. Mary Killington, in the employ of Mr. Fletcher, watch maker, of Regent-street, went out with two of her omelette's children (the girl four years old and the boy three) and, on reaching the bottom of the Quadrant, attempted to crow the road, having one by the hand and the other in her arms. At the same moment a gentleman's carriagi come in contact with them before the coachman had time to pull up. All three were run over and trampled on by the animals . Before they could be extricated, the female child had got, by some means, between the front and hinder wheels of the carriage. With the mistime of the police and by-s waders the sufferers were taken to the Charing-cross Hospital, seriously injured, and the servant is in • dangerous condition from a kick on the breast. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE RlVER.—Yesterday, about 2 o'clock, p.m., a Mr. Leeson, and Mr. Bone, wine merchant, of Pall-mall, were rowing up the river, when, es they pasted through Bath-nen-bridge, the boat filled, and the two gentlemen were thrown into the water. John Styles, captain of one of the "Citizen" steam-boats, put off in a skiff, but was only able to save Mr. Lemon. At six o'clock the body of Mr. llone had not been found. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE. AT BETHNAL-GREEN. On Friday night, shortly before eleven o'clock, a fire broke out on the eremites belonging to Mr. Miller, cabinet and musical instrument maker, at Nn. 5, Fuller-street. Several engines promptly attended, and, under the superin tendence of the chief officer of the district, the fire men net to work, and, by dint of great perseverance, they succeeded, by about half-past twelve o'clock, in getting the fire entirely extinguished. By that period the whole of Mr. Miller's stock in trade and his men's working tools were destroyed. That part of the premises where the fire began was burnt out. The contents of the adjoining house, occupied by Mt. Liegwood, fancy trimming manufacturer, are also severely damaged by removal, as is the stock of a silk weaver over Mr. Miller's premises. The cause of the fire is unknown. The whole of the property destroyed is uninsured. IRELAND. DUBLIN, MAT 15. The Lord Lieutenant's dissolution is momentarily expected. The bulletins issued to-day are these : Tex o'cLoca, A.m.—The Lord Lieutenant's strength is much reduced since yesterday. Two o'ctoca, P.m.—The illustrious patient does not feel restored from the prostration of strength he suffered during the night. Foca O'CLOCK, P.M.—Hie Excellency is not worse than ha was We morning. The extreme excitement which, in the early part of this week, prevailed throughout Limerick and Clare,' has subsided; and quiet, if not content, has been re- stored. This better order of things has been much waisted by the measures of the local authorities. The promptitude with which troops were brought to the places where outbreaks were contemplated manifested • vigour with which it was imprudent to cope, while their appearance at the centres of commotion contem paraneously with the disturbers proved that the au fithorities were well informed of what was progressing. The disturbances do not appear to have been the re salt of organisation, but rather to have been produced by the large dismissals from the public works acting upon a temperament of the public mind necessarily embittered. The Evening Post, just published, speaks of riots at Rathkeele, Limerick, and Ennistymon, Co. Clare ; but they need confirmation. The accounts received to-day of the condition of the growing crops, are most cheering. In Loath and Down—and the description may be regard ed as agreeing with the statements respecting the Midland Counties, and some also in the south —the oats "have completely rallied" from the sickly cast lately developed in their growth, " showing a splendid exuberance of vegetation." The wheat is similarly healthy in appearance, and though the sow ing of barley has not yet ceased entirely, yet much is overground already. Early potatoes look healthy, and of leguminous crops one-half so much had never been tilled in any previous year. The people are in no humour for the refrain of the " Sword Song." The sound and fury of stimulative declamation are lost upon their drooping spirits. The Irish " confederation " hived off from the parent stock, in the hope of a popular and permanent settle ment. The old machinery of assays and of council meetings which never took place, &Tn . in dignant oratory which never excited, was put into requisition; but the funds were still low, and the' confederates few. The council of six hit upon the expedient of fortnightly assemblages to overshadow the venerable parent on Burgh Quay. But that did not succeed, and decline has already set in with fear ful rapidity. At the meeting on Thursday night, just at the close of the proceedings, Mr. S. O'Brien moved a resolution that the future meetings would be convened "according to circumstances." So are we soon to be at peace from periodic presumption and vanity. We are following, although with unequal pace, the exertions of the London philanthropists in providing baths and wash-houses for the poor. Arrangements, however, are being made by the corporation for their speedy erection. A committee, composed of the most intelligent and practical members of the council, have been for some time inquiring into the subject. Plans and estimates have been called for ; communications have also been had with the Board of Works to obtain advances under the act, which, so soon as the requisite preliminary forms are complied with, will be extended. It is also to be hoped that, before the close of the year, one of the most important improve ments in the sanitary condition of the city and the most valuable additions to the health and comfort of the inhabitants will be in active operation. A circumstance has transpired in a southern county which perils the character of one of its leading men and chief magistrates. The gentleman who is re ported to have traded on the sufferings of his fellow citizens was a member of the relief and finance com mittees of the districts. A quantity of Indian corn had been forwarded, through his influence, to a neigh bouring mill, to be manufactured into meal. Ile was a dormant and unacknowledged partner in the con cern. When the produce was returned it was found to have been adulterated to a very large extent : about one-half the corn having been abstracted.

There was little novelty in the proceedings, and from the state of the fund , it would appear that the landed pro- prietors are not ea active in the cause of improvement as their trembling fortunes imperatively require. The available income of the society, including the grant of 5001. from the Derry cattle show, and the interest of their funded capital, falls short of 2,0001. a year, of which sum about 1,2001. is paid in premiums, the entire sum being wholly ineffective to produce any permanent or extensive results on so wide a surface for improvement. Nor are the higher classes many degrees superior in activity and industry to the lower, which finds a painful illoetration in the I that for tho 5001. granted by government to encourage draining, only Il com petitors came forward to contend. By the balance-sheet it appears that the total receipts of the society for the past year were 1,9661., and the expenditure 1,9661., leaving a balance of 21. However, the prospects of the society are beginniag to improve, as a number of Rewriters were admitted, including the Marquis of Londonderry, Earl Fitewilliam, Viscount Chabot, &c. At the close of the proceedings, a conversation areas, relative to the encouragemeut of the Chemico-Agricultural Society, who solicited the patronage of the chief body with the privilege of meeting once a month in their board-room. Sir R. Kane made some very sensi ble observations, and though he deprecated the word " pa tronage," of which we have far too much in Ireland, he declared that nothing could contribute ro much to the popu larity of the society as to place it in the same connexion with the Dublin Institute as the Chemico-Agrieultural So ciety of Scotland stood to the Highland Society. The question was referred to the council of the weir ty. SCOTLAND. EDINBURGH, MAY 14. Last year a work was published in Edinburgh which inter alio discussed the legality of the tenure by which certain existing Nova Scotia baronets hold their titles, the same being alleged to be forfeited by the extinction of male heirs. Only a limited number of copies were printed, and consequently the contents of the volume were discussed in antiquarian circles alone; but the "Gentleman's Magazine" for this month has taken up the subject, and treated it with all the erudition that was wont to characterise the school of St. John's Gate. After such prominent dis section, the matter cannot well sleep, and it is possible that u nless the Queen interfere, some well-known baronets in the north will be unfrocked. The Nova Scotia order was instituted by James I. in 1621, and from his reign up to that of Anne, when the patent ceased to be issued, the number of creations was upwards of 280; and of these, about 170 are at pre sent existing. Some hot-house potatoes in the neighbourhood of Edinburgh have failed—those in the open air promise well externally, hut it is premature to predict results at this stage of vegetation. The Trades' House of Glasgow, in petitioning for the abrogation of the blank Act, make the following statements: That Lanarkshire, in which the petitioners reside, is one of the chief seats of the commercial industry of Scotland, and is possessed of great mineral wealth, and the rapidity with which its manufactures and commerce have increased is evinced by the acts that in twenty years custom duties at Glasgow have advanced from 4.5,0001. to upwards of 600,0001., and the harbour dues from 7.0001. to nearly 60,0001. The trade of Glasgow requires a corresponding increase of the cir culating medium. That prosperity has arisen under the free system of Scotch banking ; and the restrictive tendency of the act of 1844, as applicable to Scotland, is felt to he seriously injurious and oppressive, and ,lelte uncalled for. That the section of that act which requires the Scotch bankers to keep in their cellars bullion to the full amount of their issues beyond . their cer tified amount of circulation at the peering of the Act, subjects the industry of Scotland to a charge of not less than 60,0001. per annum, and this charge must go on to increase as her trade extends. That the natural resources of Scotland, the capital, the industry, and integrity of her manufactures, were held to be sufficient security for her cur rency before the passing of the act, and the stability of the Scotch banks is in no degree hammed, but rather dimin ished, by beinc compelled to keep upwards of a million of bullion unemployed in their coffers. That white the peti tioners recognise, to the fullest extent, the ntoewity of having a supply Of bullion to pay the foreigner. who will not take British manufactures in exchange for their com modities, they deny the necessity for requiring a foundaties of bullion for the internal currency of Great Britain, on the score alike of its expense, and, if carried to its fullest extent, impracticability. The Whitsun term, which occurs to-morrow, is looked forward to with fear and trembling, both by landlords and tenants, borrowers and lenders. The bankers declare that the present state of affairs is worse than in 1826. The following extracts from letters received from Capt. Elliott, the Highland Destitution Inspector, reveal the difficulties attendant on developing industry by eleemosynary effort: 1 ion the sowing of the land in Ullspool the most gross Ivo mace of the first principles of husbandry prevails.

It being the usual market-day, the farmers and dealers asembled in the market-house for the transaction of business., when a m of persons attacked the market-houso, drove out its legitimate occupants, and seized the corn and flour, which they insisted upon having retailed out at prices very easel below the present saleable rates. The mob also attacked the butcher: and bakers' shops, seised the meat, and sold it at hd. per lb. (the butchers' price being 9d. per lb.),handing over the proceeds of the sales to the owners of the meet. It being rumoured that the rioters intended to burn down some c near the town, the utmost ex citement and alarm prevailed, and the high-hailiffs and ma gistrates held a consultation as to what steps it would be best to adopt for the pre- creation of the peace of the town. The high-bailiff immediately proceeded to the market-house, in front of which he read the riot act, and called upon the mob to retire to their homes. A number of the mat respectable inhabitants were promptly sworn in as special constables, and orders were issued for mustering the yeomanry cavalry. The mob paraded the streets, hooting and yelling, and carrying legs of mutton, joints of beef and pork before them. All the shops were closed, and the whole neighbourhood was in • most excited state. CORNWALL FOOD litors.—The Plymouth Times of Saturday affords iuformation of a further extension of disturbances arising out of the distressed condition of the labouring poor and the - high prices of food. That journal says, " Various applications for military aid hove ranched the garrison of Plymouth and Devonpnrt, and parties of soldiers have proceeded to the spots where the disorders were said to exist. On Thunder evening Capt. Johnson, 2 lieutenants, 3 sergeants, 100 rank and file, and 2 buglers, of the sth Fusilien, left this town for Wadebridge, and were to be at the latter-named place by 6 o'clock yesterday (Friday) morning. From this latter town we learn that on Wednesday afternoon about three o'clock, a body of miners from St. Austell, R whe, and Luau lyan, to the number of 200 and upwards, entered the town to prevent corn from being shipped, and declared their deter mination to have a supply of that article at their own prices. There being no corn shipping en that day, they cellectedround the cellars on the quay, in which there were some three or four hundred bushels of barley, and threatened that unless their wants were supplied, they would bleak open the cellars. E. Stephens, E-q., of Trewornan, a magistrate, was imme diately sent for, and the principal inhabitants and burners met at the Institution, to adopt measures in ease the men proceeded to extremities. On the arrival of Mr. Stephens, he, accompanied by a number of other persons, proceede I to the spot to endeavour to induce the rioters to disperse ; anti, on Mr. Stephens addressing them, he and his companions were fiercely attacked. Previous to the arrival of the ma gistrate, the cellars had been broken open, and the men were proceeding to fill the sacks with which they were sup plied, but no corn was removed. There being now serious apprehensions as to the result of these proceedings, it was deemed advisable to organise a force fur the purpose of protecting the property. About one hundred of the in habitants of the town were at once sworn in special constables, and kept themselves in readiness at the Reading Room, to take such steps ss circumstances might require. The rioters sent • Damage towards evening, stating that if the magistrate would pledge himself that the cirri should not be shipped, they would disperse ; but this he did not feel himself at liberty to do. After some time, hoe ever, they were induced to quit the town, and they left, apparently with the intention of going to their homes. Mr. Stephens, received • eery severe blow on the head from a bludgeon of one of the rioters. Capt. Nott, of the preventive service, arrived in the course of the evening, and immediately despatched messengers to Padstow and the other stations in the neighbourhood for the preventive men under his com mand. On Thursday the riotous mob had taken possession of the Molesworth Arms, at Wade Wide, and the various storehouses in the place, as also two ships. They had distributed the bread, flour, and sera (of which they obtained possession) among the reallitade ; 150 special constables had been sworn ia. A haw of the neighbourhood, who had beets sworn in as • =liconstable, volunteered to come away with • request the local magistrates., to the general commanding in the western district, for the soldiery.

Thompson for having expressed himself in its favour, and inietings have been held to consider the coarse which they should adopt at the next election, but nothing de cisive has yet transpired.—One of the latest rumours current respecting the representation of Knaresboroagh, is, that Mr. A. Lawson, one of the present members, will retire on the dissolution of parliament, and that his son, Mr. Andrew Sherlock Lawson , who has recently attained his msjority, will be a candidate to succeed him. lit addition to Mr. J.

NORTHUM BERLAN D. TIM CONING Ecacrtus.—The canvass in favour of Sir George Grey has proceeded most viperously and successfully during the whole of last week. In the Itutlbury and Eleclon districts the agents o! the ll , me Secretary have met with very few refusals; and from the most respectable and inde pendent of the Percy tenantry. In other districts split voted have been promised for Sir George. Futile opinion increases daily in favour of the liberal candidate. Ou Thursday lest the more active supporters of Lords Louvaine and Ossulstain (who are principally dependents ow the Duke of Northum berland), paraded the town of Alnwigk, and Waited every elector who gave them a refusal. Amongst the tricks resorted to by these gentry are statements that Earl Grey disapproves of Sir George Grey becoming a candidate, and that Sir George is • Puscyite. Both statements are, how ever, inaccurate: Earl Grey highly approves of the resistance given to Percy dictation ; and Sir George, It is notorious, is far more closely connected with the evangelical thaw the Puseyite believed, begins to repent of the step he has so rashly taken, and is anxious that Lord Ossulston, who is very unpopular, should withdraw. Bir George Grey will, it is thought, poll 900 plumper,. wr se.nurturing. Toe RISPRIMENTATION or WALBALL.—There promises to be a very severe contest for the representation d this bo rough at the next election. Mr. Robert Scott, the present member, retires, and the candidates already in the field are Mr. Forster, son of Mr. Forster. a banker in the borough (liberal); and the Hon. Mr. Littleton, eldest son of Lord H. athernon (whig). His lordship poeseeses a good deal of influence in the borough, by meson of property ; and Mr. Fonter is not destitute of that consequent on local connexion. Bath parties are prosecuting their canvass, and each ca imans confidence of success: but, in present circumstances, it is probable that Mr. Forster has the hest chance he was the first in the field, and the majority of the inhabitants are seemingly averse ter the representation being placed in the hands of any noble patron. The conservatives talk of bring ing forward a man ,• if such be the case, and both the candi dates already named persist in going to the poll, the success of either would be a very doubtful affair. WARWICKSHIRE. A WOMAN MURDIRID BY HER HUSBAND.—On Saturday a man named Leonard, a paper hawker, residing in Tenter , street, Birmingham, was committed for taial on the charge of having caused the death of his wife by violent wage a few days previously. The coroner'a inquisition, the night before, had returned a verdict of " Wilful Murder " against bim. It appears that both the woman and her husband had been much addicted to drinking, and that about seven o'clock on the morning of the day un which the offence was committed, the deceased and her hueband were men to enter their house together in a state of intoxication. In a short time a great noise was heard, and the man came out of his house, and asked a neighbour to assist bun in getting his wife out of the cellar, for that he had pushed her down there, and that "passion was the devil." Assistance being rendered, a large pool of blood was found in the kitchen, and in the cellar (the door of which was 'hut) the unfortu nate woman was found lying with her legs and fret on the two lower steps, and her body stretched outwards, with her head doubled up under the right shoulder. Her face was covered with bleed, and the husband refused aid in raising her up, saying, " that she might lie and die." Many other brutal expressions succeeded. At this time, according to the evidence of the hospital surgeon, blood was imuing from the woman's ears, her right arm was fractured, and there was a fracture on the base of the skull extending from ear to ear. Five or six of the neighbours who had heard the quarrel were called as witnesses, and they swore that they had heard Leonard threaten to "knock his wife's brains out ; " and in reply to the woman's supplication to him not to kill her, he said, "I mean killing you, and do it." The woman died in two or three days. Note ithstanding the very strong evidence adduced against him at the inquest, the man 'prated perfectly unconcerned. HAMPSHIRE. Tire Capra both of wheat and barley, in the immediate neighbourhood of Winchester, are much improved in appearance by the late rain ; the wheat in many instances is very luxuriant, though in others it has lost plant from the protracted winter. The crop at present bids fair to be an averse one if not be, end ; the barky is looking well and luxuriant, with some exceptions, whffe the wire-worm has been at work: the recent rains, with genial weather,will stop the revere of this pest of the farmer, and from appearance • large crop of barley may fairly be expected. The potatoes are coming up strong and apparently heathy, but it is impos sible to predicate what will be the result of this valuable crop at present. —Hampshire Telegraph. KENT. SICKNESS, in the shape of low ague and fever, is extremely prevalent in Sheerness, although happily the deaths are not to proportion to the prevalence of disease. A correspondent says :—" As to those to whom the care of the town is com mitted—the ' town commissioners'—it is generally under stood that their monthly meetings are occupied in strenuous exertions to preserve the' balance of power' amongst them selves, instead of attending to the welfare of the district committed to them. One circumstance tending greatly to foster the diseases already generated is the great scarcity of houses in Sheerness—four families sometimes tenant a small fur-roomed tenement, and make the street a common recep tacle for all abominations." SPICULATING ON DY.Alll.—Burial roieties, avowedly intended as an honourable means of providing for the decent interment of persons poasessing slender incomes, now appear to be perverted to a systematic traffic in the chances of life , and death. lt is stated that at Faversham, persons of all ' grades are, without their own consent, or even knowledge, placed on the ',oohs of burial societies by some gambling speculator, who pays the stipulated quota at the de ith of each member, in order to receive the aggregated sum at the death of three he has thus impertinently entered io the society. The cunning dishonesty of the transaction consists in enter ing parsons as members of the society, who are near death, thus making those unsuspecting members, who, perhaps, have entered for a fair and hononrable chance, contribute an unfair amount in the gem ml collection. MONPAOUTIISHIRE. Etecelors Movnuswe —R. J. Blewitt, of Llantarnam Abbey ! in this county, so many years the representative of the uni.ed boroughs of Monmouth, 'Usk, and Newport, has issued an address to his constituent*, which evidences his opinion as to the early dissolution of parliament. It is broadly stated by the chartists of Newport, that they will oppose Mr. Murk', became he did not accede to a petition from them to support Mr. Buncombe's late motion, relative to the recall of Frost, Williams, and Jones. They are san guine aa to the results of their opposition, and talk ofbringinfi forward Col. Tynte, a moderate ceneervative, ie opposition to the present hon. member. The grounds upon which they calculate for success are these : the numerical strength of chartist voters in Newport, who declare to a man they will oppose ; and the conservatives of Monmouth (the Duke of Beaufort's borough) and of Usk, who of course will supports a conservative candidate, in opposition to Mr. Blewitt. Other candidates are named. ROYAL ITALIAN 0T ERA .—Donizettes " Lucretia Borgia" was performed on Saturday.
