There are two windows to the place, through one of which the light 0 8 . comes beneath a grating in the street. The other window le is protecte.l with iron bars, which are from six to seven 10 inches apart. The boy does not seem to have been at with m contented with his new quarters; so, arming himself with "i • poker, he determined to escape. He climbed up to s ) the iron -barred window and wriggled himself through ; thence he got on to a cis tern, and afterwards dropped from toe &height of about eight feet on to the stone steps.

A DESPERADO.—The convict Huet wan two days is back brought up forexamination for the motile,. of two fellow- ID convicts in the prison of Toulon. His savage temper has not * forsaken him for a moment. Oa appearing he refused to answer any questions, and rudely rema rked—"l want so 11 4 words, no useless verbiage, and, above all, no writings.

CAPTUEE OF • T OR TOISE.—A singular capture, 3 that of a young living tortoise, in our c liffs brook, took !! place on Tuesday last, by • eon of Mr. House, gardener to Archdeacon Bonney. Ile was fishing with a bow net, and at first thought it wall a crayfish. There have been seen several tortoises, and their appearance is accounted for in this way.

Flag AT DIVIZKI.—The meet destructive fire that has occurred in Devizes within our memory broke out early on Monday morning last , in the Heider, and de- i f j o Worts', before it could be got under, no less than four s houses—the shop known for the last fifty years as " Hook's Confectionery Shop," latterly occupied by Mr. Bedding Se (Miss Hook's successor), and the shops on either side of it, 110 occupied by Mr. Morris, as a ready-made clothes ware- a i r house ; by Mr. Guy, the watchmaker ; and by Mr. Jones, leo as a fancy basket, brush, and trinket shop, being now up reduced to • heap of ruins . — Devizes Gazette. tie A meeliseval key has just been dug up on the 100 site of the once famous priory of St. Denys, close to the r o Portswood Station of the South Western Railway : It is is . a bronze key, about two inches long. the stem is sold, and le tapers towards the end, the wards forming • letter H. 10 The inner periphery of the hand le ring projects near the S. stem, which is characteristic of ancient keys. This key It no :t doubt belonged to a small box or secret:ai m . us is covered with a thin coat of verdigris , which no has prevented corrosion. The door-keys found among la the ruins of St. Denys, being of non, are much lee corroded with rust. Mr. Skelton, the architect, who U K t. purchased the ruins, carefully preserves the relies. A few rusty keys, borne fragments of mosaic pavement, and a I L few mutilated stone coffins, are almost all that is left of the a t. splendid priory. The coffins some years ago were cleared ee of the bones and skulls of priors and monks, and used as hogs' troughs by a neighbouring farmer. SO ILLEGAL Pisan:G.—Yesterday at the petty sessions at Upton-on-Severn, Worceetershire, William and John Mann, father and sou, fishermen on the Severn be - eV.. t w een Upto n and Tewkesbury, were convicted, at the 10 instance of the Severn Fisheries Protection A s sociation, of 10 fishing for salmon in the Severn with • net the meshes of ~ which were of less dimensions than eight inches in circum ference, and were fined in the penalty of 2/. 10s., with It.

The men were seen to take a salmon of about 141 b., and on tbe policeman proceeding to seize the net they endeavoured to capsize the boat, telling the officer that they did not mind drowning him, as they could swim. A HAIR-BRRADTH Cese.—The Civil Tribunal of Villefranche (RhOne) bas jail given a decision of some interest to sportsmen. The case came before the tribunal in the form of an appeal from a judgment of the juge-de pail of Tarare, relative to the possession of a hare. During the last winter the dogs of • sportsmen named Morel had been following a hare for three bows, and must have caught it in • few minutes, when it was suddeuly snapped up by G adherd dog belonging to • farmer named who •t once took possession of the animal, and refused to give it up to Morel a few minutes afterwards. A quarrel ensued, and the matter was ultimately brought before the juge•de-pain of Terve, I who decided in favour of Godard. Morel appealed, and demanded that Godard should be condemned to pay him 6fr., the value of the hare. After bearing counel, the tribunal annulled the judgment of the juse-de-paix, and condemned Godard to pay Morel 6f r. for the hare, on the ground that a beast of chase, when so run down that it cannot escape, fairly belongs to the person in pursuit, •ot Callllo=terepristed by another party who accidentally gets of it.

Thomas Henry Curti& who stated that he was a tailor at Rooney, Hants, was charged with stealing two reels of twist, three-quarter of a poundof sewing silk, • quantity of silk based, and other articles, to the value of 41. 95., from Messrs. Firmin, the well-lmown button and trimming makers in the Strand. Mr. Charles Edward Firmin deposed—l am warehouse man to my father and others, carrylog on Waimea under the firm of Firmin and Sons, 153, Strand. The prisoner is an old customer of ours, and has for some years bun in the habit of making purchases to the extent of 701. or 801. at a time. This morning, at about U o'clock, I was servin; him with some goods in the waresooni, when I had occasion to go down stairs for some article ; upon returning to the warerooln. as I opened the door, I saw the primmer pat tiog • hank of silk braid into Ins pocket. I also missed &reel of twist. I mentioned the matter to the cashier. As the prisoner was leaving the cashier said to him, "Shall I charge you for the articles you have put in your poc ket He produced from hie pocket a reel of twist and said, "That is all I have." The cashier said, "No I don't think that is all." He then produced another r eel of twist. They are worth 4e. 3d. each. The cashier then called in a policeman, who took the prisoner to the station-house, where he was searched, and there was found on him the hank of silk braid, which is worth 21. 14s. ; some alpaca braid, worth 9e. ; and Vb. of sewing tikk, worth 19s. W. The prisoner said he hoped I would forgive him. Mr. Pirniin's evidence was confirmed by the cashier and by the policeman. The prisoner, who appeared to be suffering from intense emotion, said—l have not anything to say. Ido not know what induced roe to do it. I did not think of doing it when I entered the shop. He was committed for trial. LAMBETH. The conductor of one of Greenwood's Exhibition 01011 i. Imes, No. 6217, Robert Smith, badge 3,453, appeared to • summons taken out by the police, and charging him with unlawfully delaying his omnibus upon its journey. l'ohosconatable Robert Roots, 55 P, ..deposed that on Monday week four omnibuses drew up in front of the Elephant and Castle, Newington, and after stopping the usual time allowed for putting down and taking up pas sengers he ordered them on. Three of them went away on their journey, but the defendant ordered his driver to drive round Cross-street, and come to the place be had just left a second time. This being contrary to the regulation hid down by the Commissioners of Polices, he (witneu) told the defendant be should report him, and did so. Mr. Marriott, who attended on behalf of the company, assured the magistrate that the offence, if such it might be called, was unintentional. The fact was that the Exhibition I omnibuses had been but recently brought from Man chester, and the servant. in attendance upon them did not I think that which was right in Manchester was wrong in London. The practice in the former place had been to wait at the end of their journey for fresh passengers, and that was all the defendant did on the present occasion. He (Mr. Marriott) should therefore like to ask the con stable whether the defendant was not perfectly civil, nod whether be did not say that if told he was doing limn, he would at once have gone on his journey. The constable admitted that this was the fact. Inspector Dann, who was present to support the sum mow, here informed the magistrate that the Elephant and (hurtle was not a place appointed by the Commissioners of Police for the commencement or the ending of a journey, but merely an intermediate spot where the omnibuses in the course of their journey were allowed sufficient time to put down and take up passengers. Mr. Marriott said the company for whom he appeared took out licenses for their vehicles to travel between the Ele phant and Castle, Newington, and the Swan Tavern, Old Brompton, and it appeared to him a most extraordinary doctrine that they should not be allowed to take up as well as put down pareagers at the beginning as well as the end of their journey. Mr. Dann observed that the owners of the Exhibition omnibuses should, when about to take out their licenses, bare applied to the Commissioners of Police to appoint a starting-place, and this would have obviated the difficulty. Mr. Norton said he bad before him the act authorising the Commissioners of Police to make the necessary rules and regulations for the guidance of public vehicles for carrying passengers, and by these rules and regulations their owners were obliged to comply. That such power should be vested in the commissioners was absolutely neces sary • for what would be the state of things, at the Elephant and Castle, for instance, if half • doaen of companies claimed the same rights, as those sought by the Exhibition Com pany. The offence was clearly proved, and the defendant must pay a penalty of Is., and 2a for expenses. The money was paid, but Mr. Marriott, expressing a strong objection to the state of the law, said he feared he should have to trouble his worship for a ere to take the matter to • higher court. CHARGE OP WIFE MURDER AT PLYMOUTH. At the Plymouth Guildhall, on Wednesday, Charles Joseph Pitcher was charged with killing his wife, Thornazine.Pitcher. Eliza Marshall deposed that she lived at No. 9, Illioer street, and on the previous day she was in • room in a beer house in Stonehomedane, between three and four o'clock in the afternoon. She was there with a woman named Conway, who owed beg some money, and other persons were there. Amongst those present was the prisoner, who was sitting at the table drinking with other men and some women. A woman ame from the taproom Into the place where the prisoner was, and struck him twice under the ear with her band. She called him very opprobrious names, and ae she struck him, she said, " Where's my money— where's my box!" or words to that effect. They were both tipsy, and the woman returned to the tap-room. Prisoner arose from the table and followed her, and the tap-room door was shut as soon as he entered it. Witness looked e ttaugh the glass door, and saw the prisoner strike the de under the right ear with his clenched fist. It waa • very violent blow, and the deceased fell to the floor. Wit ness then entered the room, where she found the dammed lying on the floor. There were two men in the room besides the prisoner and witness asked one of the men to lift the poor creat ure up. The prisoner was then reclining on the settle. One of the men lifted the woman up, and after three or four minute, bad elapsed she went over to the prisoner, who was still lying on the settle, and again said, Where is my box with my money'!" Prisoner replied, " I have spent it ; I have not a farthing left." Upon that the deceased struck the prisoner two or three times in the face with her lat. The prisoner then got off the settle and struck the deceased several dreadful blows with his fist about the face and neck. He knocked her down, and her heed came in contact with the door-post. Prisoner then walked away into another part of the room, and witness mid to him. "Oh, you bad man, you've killed the woman." He replied, " Do you think I'm going to be struck by a woman r' Wit ness turned the woman's head, and saw her bleeding from a large cut over the left eye. She cried and said, " What has he done to me now 1" and exclamations of a similar charac ter, and by this time the prisoner had again retired to lie upon the settle. Witness believed that the woman's head struck the door-poet. The deceased was again lifted up, and was placed upon • form ; ea she leaned against the table her eye still bled. One of the men, addressing the prisoner, said he hoped he bad not offended him by lifting his wife, and told him she had • tremendous cot across her eye. Prisoner made no reply. Witness then fetched • woman from the court named Mary Burt, and by the time they entered the room the womans head was under the settle, and the prisoner was standing close by her. She was groan ing, and the prisoner was kicking her violently in the lower part of the abdomen. She saw him kick the deceased twice. Burt said to the prisoner. "Oh you blackguard, you'll kill the woman," and lifted her hand to strike him ' but did not. Prisoner desisted, but said, " I'm not going to be struck by her." Witness and Burt lifted the dammed from the floor to the form, and she leaned on Burrs shoulder. On looking to the floor witness saw a great quantity of blood. The dammed groaned, but witness did not remember that she said anything. The prisoner again lay on the settle, and tritoato loft th. &moose& in Oho tato of Mtn. Mt. was in the room altogether twenty minutes. The prisoner, on being asked if he bed anything on which to cross-examine the witnem, replied that he recollected nothing about it. Mary Burt mid—l was in • court at the back of the Travellers' Rest, in Stonehouse-lane, yesterday about four o'clock, when Mrs. Marshall came to me, and I went with her into the tap-room. The prisoner and Thomas Richards, now present, and the prisoner's wife (whom I have known many years) were present, and so was Mrs. Marshall. The prisoner's wife was lying on the floor, under the table ; the prisoner was standing outside the table, close to his wife, and was lucking her about the body. She was lying on her back ; they were violent kicks. I said, " Hobos, Charley, what are you doing" and put up my hand to shove him away. He said nothing, but left the room. Mrs. Dingle, the landlady, and • woman named Eliza Govear, came into the room, and Gomm lifted her up, and cleared up a great deal of blood with a shovel from the spot where she had been lying. I did not see the prisoner kick her more than once; she greened. Myself and Eliza Govear carried her to her own room, at 77, Stonehouse-lane. The only words I heard the woman say were, "The Lord bleu you," which was said to me. We put her on her bed, and 1 stayed with her until she died, about an hour afterwards. About five minutes after I carried the prisooer's wife home, Mr. Pause, surgeon, now present, came and attended to her. I saw the prisoners wife about 11 in the morning • she was then tipsy. I had been drinking with her, sod when in the court she fell and struck herself over her left eye. 1 was not tipsy when Mrs. Marshall called me. Cross-examined by the prisoner—Very shortly after I took her home the prisoner came there, and remained until she was drawing her last breath. Cross-examined by Mr. Phillips— prison er and his wife for about nine years, and they ap peared to me to be comfortable, unless they had had a drop of drink. They have three children, the youngest being four or five years old. William Pause said—l am a surgeon and have been in practice for upwards of 20 years. On Tuesday, the 29th ult., about 5 o'clock in the aftemooo, I was called to • room at No. 77, Stonehouse-lane, where I saw the prisoner, several women, and a female (whom I have since asmrtaine ' .0 be Thommine Pitcher, and I believe to be the wife • f the prisoner). I found her in a dying state lying on the bed, her clothes soaked in blood, pulsates', power of sight quite gone, wholly insensible, skin cold, and unable to speak. She moaned twice or thrice, and turned on one side, and then on the other, and attempted to raise her head, but failed. 1 TER COURTS OP LAW. Mr. T. W. Greene, Q C., bas published a pamphlet (Wildy and Bons), in which he seta forth the advantages of a site for her Majesty's superior courts. of law which we believe he is the in*, to suggest Me says the requisites for attaining the object all heave in view who advocate the emir. , on of new courts are that the courts shall be ereeted-1. In contiguity ; 2. In the legal quarter; 3. At the last cost ; 4. With convenient amiss ; 5. Re mote from noise ;6. And protected against tumult& An opportunity presimes itself of **marine all these advantages, and some others of minor importance, which, if now lost. may never be regained. The bill for the embaokroent of the north or left bank of the Thames is in progress through parhament. Between the lines of deviation, and in front of the gar dens of the Middle Temple mid Inner s Middle, there will be an area of about 100 by 264 yards, bout 6a. Ir. 32p., nearly 50. of reclaimable lend. Of thin space there will be required for roadway, terrace, lie., about 30 by 264 yards, or about la. 2r. 20p. And if the line of embankment should not be extended to the extreme verge of the river lure of deviation (though for so great a public necessity there can be no reason why it should not), there may be nearly la. more, or in all 2p. t a kes from the site, which will leave Is., ample space, &Tellable for the building of the courts. This is the area whiea lies wholly within the limits of the Temple frontages ; but if more should be required for law offices in Col3lleXiOa with the courts, there would be no difficulty whatever in extendiog the buildings east and west over the adjciuing reclaimed land, and thus the area for buildings may be doubled, and made to embrace, if neces sary, from six to eight acres, acourding as the embankment may be projected more or less into the bed of the river. The grand facade of the river front would be improved rather than disfigured by the granter length of the build ings, and light and air would be equally obtained through , out. Then, will this site posse, all the advantages above ad verted to? I will take them m their order. The first and second conditions require but little notice. They are self-evident. All the courts will be brought together. The two very valuable libraries of the Middle and Inner Temple are in immediate proximity; so, also, are some of the law offices. The proposed site is • new acquisition t unappropriated at present ; and, as a site for the courts, I believe co pur chase would be requisite. No money to be paid for it. The excavatiora for foundations and underground works are partly prepared by the natural condition of the ground. The Thames Embankment Commissioners will save the otherwise necessary expense of filling up and making sound the Led reclaimed from the river. The drainage, which in any other locality would be very expensive, Is, in this, reduced to almost nothing, as one of the main drains to be constructed by the Metropolitan Board of Works will run under the embankment, and close to the walls of the courts ; and the facilities of the river scowl for bringing or removing materials during the building will reduce the builder's contracts. About one million of money will thus, in the acquisition of the site and Its accessories, be saved, and no outlay for approaches required, as in Mr. Gem's plan, inasmuch as all that will be required in this respect is nec essarily involved in the scheme for the embankment of the river and must be executed for that purpose. Here, then, courts may be [ ( built at the lead cost. The convenience of access to the site is obvious. The main high road afforded by the river is, beyond all com parison, the most easy, speedy, convement, economical, and agreeable that can be had ; and, besides this, there will be the embankment roadway, connecting the courts with the houses of parliament on the one hand, and Guildhall on the other, to both of which a ready saxes for the judges, the bar, and attornies must be had ; and no other locality can aff ord this facility in the same degree, for the site I propose is about midway between the two, and will combine the most direct and spacious land and water communication. There will also be an approach by Norfolk-street from the Strand, on the west, and by Bouverie-street from Fleet-street on the oast ; and, in ad. dition, there are the approaches already existing through Middle Temple lane and Whitef rims. Private approaches for the judges, the bar, and attornies, may be conveniently given through the gardens of the Temple, as well as from the water-side. The situation, moreover, has the advantage of being re mote from poles. The river's noiseless couree on the south, and the gardens on the north, will completely shut out the noise of the streets which in any other locality of this busy quarter of our great city would be au objection. Even the embanked roadway, being open to the river, could not, under any circumstances, be so noisy as • street shut in on both sides, and may be made, with care, almost noiseless. The houses of parliament, with a less perfect exclusion of noise from the Abbey side, fully demonstrate, T believe, the advantage of the river site in this respect, and more espe cially will this and other advantages of such a locality be felt when the new drainage in progress shall have improved the a river. Lastly, many salutary reforms in our social and political systems, and especially the abolition of all monopolies, fremici7. t 9Mamerce, and equality of civil right', w 11, no doubt, tend to prevent popular outbreaks in future. But we must not suppose that tumultuous assemblies can never happen again ; and if any such evils should unfortunately arise, it is then more especially necessary that our judges should be enabled to administer the laws in perfect security, without the possibility of its boinir supposed that they can be influenced Ity threats from without. Perfect security must be provided also for the records, wills, he. Now, the present gates of the Middle and loner Temple t and the Temple-buildings, form a complete barrier around the semi-circular boundary of them lure of Court which stretches from the western extremity on the river, along the northern aide, and again down to the eastern extremity on the river; and, in case of necessity, by cutting off communication at the east and west on the embankment roadway, and by preventing boats landing passengers, which may easily be done by a comparatively small force of the civil, or, if necessary, of the military power, perfect iso lation and protection will be afforded by the river on the south. LONDON AND SOUTH APEMAN BANK. The first ordinary annual meeting of shareholders was held yesterday, at the London Tavern ; Mr. T. It. TllolltiOli in the chair. The Sscarrsity read the report of the directors, which stated that immediately on obtaining, in May last, the con firmation of the royal charter of incorporation, by the pay ment of one-half of the subscribed capital. steps were taken to commence business ; and Mr. C. T. Green, who had bees appointed general . manager in the colonies, left s England in May, and Mr. Miller, the manager at Port hAeth, in June. Business began at Cape Town on the 11th of June, and at Port Elizabeth on the 19th of September. Since that time a branch has been opened at Graham's Town, under the management of Mr. Henry Anderson ; and arrange manta are being made for others at Natal. The directors have the satisfaction to state that there are no bad or doubt ful debts to provide for, and that the nett profits of the bank to Dec. 31 amount to 10,541/. 14s. 7d. The directors propose to write off to credit of preliminary expense ac- count the sum of 1,6081.6.., being one-fifth of the balance of that account, and to set apart am the basis of a reserve fund 1,0961.115. 3d. They also recommend the declaration of a dividend of 21 per cent. on the paid-up capital, free of income tax, carrying forward to new account the balance 2,8361. 17s. 4d., leas income tax on the dividend now pro- Pies The Maumee, in moving the adoption of the report, detailed the necessary steps taken by the directors in ob taining their charter, and in organising the staff and des patching them to the colony. Considering the short time over which the operations had extended the results were as favourable as the most sanguine could have anticipated. The bank had taken deep root in the colony, and had afforded great assistance and convenience to the colonists. P.spenditure on large and costly buildings had been avoided, sun the ...downer of the directors had been well hus banded. As • woof of the amount of business done and the °sundae.. reposed in the bank by the solouistai be would ms•tion that up to the last date of the advice& from iho.ir manager, he stated that their note circulation was 10,001/ 1 . posits 50,0004, and discounts 200,000/. and that the whole wee of a sound and satisf actory character. Foreign agencies had been established in all parts where it had been thought usefuL The chairman, after paying a high compliment to their manager in the colony, Mr. Green, concluded by mov ing the adoption of the report. The resolution was seconded and agreed to, and the divi dend accordingly declared. The CHAIRMAN then proposed the re-election as directors of Major Tremeoheere, and Meyers. W. Nicoll, M.P., Sea. bright, and Lerick. Mr. SPICER objected to the re-election of these gentle men not on personal grounds, but because he thought it preposterous that the bank should require 14 directors to manage its business, at an expense of 3,000/. per annum. The real business of the bank would be done m Africa, and such a large directory in London was useless and un necessarily expensive. lie would move an amendment that there should on the present occasion be no re-election of Mr. JENKIN , seconded the amendment. The amendment having been put from the chair but two bands were held up in its favour, and the directers named above were re-elected. Dr. Butler and Mr. Maynard were also appointed as auditors. Some other routine business having been transacted, the meeting terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors. Berner 'hum' Sot:lt-TY.

There is every reason to believe that a dreadful murder has been perpetrated in the vicinity of the city of Worcester. A young man, named Timothy Grundy, ard about 27, the sus of a blacksmith, living in the Tything, has lately beer released from the County Lunatic Asylum, as cured of hie insanity, and as of sound mind. His conduct, however, sines has been somewhat eccentric, and, on Tues day, from threats which he held out of committing suicide, he was taken into custody, when a vial of lau danum was found in his posseasion. He was taken be fore the magistrates, who liberated him on condition of his appearing again before them yesterday. It seems that on Tuesday evening be and a young woman named Emily Jones, living in Spa-place, with whom he had kept com pany for some time, were seen walking together in the vicinity of the Shrub-hill railway station, and during the evening, between six and ten o'clock, they remained at the Gun public-house, New Town. While there they seemed to have a slight quarrel, and the woman expressed her intention of going home, when be induced her to stay a little longer, and they ultimately left together about a quarter past ten. About one o'clock they entered the but of a night watchman, near the railway-bridge at New Town, where a viaduct is in coulee of construction, and there they remained till four in the morning. They then took their departure as if for a walk across the fi elds in the direction of Perry wood, and nothing further transpired . till Grundy retuned home about 9 o'clock yesterday morning. His boots and stockings were wet, and he then deliberately stated that he had murdered the girl. In consequence of this he was again taken into custody, and was ordered by the stipendiary magistrate to be detained for inquiry to be made. The girl did not return, and her friends began to fear that some ill had befallen her. Search was made in the fields, and about 11 o'clock her body was discovered in a pond near Perry-wood. She was quite dead, and there were marks of blows on her left temple. The body was removed to the Gun Inn, where it now awaits an inquest' The affair has created a great amount of sensation, and numbers of people visited the pond during the day.—Bir mingham Daily Pod. THE MURDER OP A FRENCH GENTLEMAN IN TIPPERARY. A correspondent of the Pression's Jottreal, witting from Clonmel, on Wednesday, stye:—" To-day I have learned that the unfortunate gentleman was walnag, not on the high road, as has been stated, but in a field, in close proximity to his own house, and that when be was last seen alive he carried under his arm a gun—a painful en demics, I apprehend, that he deemed it necessary not to appear abroad unarmed. If this should be correct, it is not straining to assume that, whoever the in human ruffian was, he absolutely shot Mr. This. bault with his own gun. This fact, it is alleged, in dicates the absenoeof premeditation or of an conspiracy, and in surtaminent of this we are % b re believe in an encounter, a struggle, resulting in de priving him of his gun, and then followed the shot, which passed through his heart, and =flat have caumd Mamie/thous death. But, if the shot were the off spriag of • struggle, what can be said to account for the body exhibiting, it is reported, unmistakeable evidence of having been perforated with a sharp instrument in three different bat approximate places? Was this pitchfork-like wound inflicted before or after the *Detente of the gun were lodged in the heart ? If it can be ascertained this wound was inflicted first, it seems to favour the mere hypothesis that • struggle took place. If this lunge were administered after the gun shot, and consequently after death, it indi cates an amount of barberous vindictiveness and insatiable bloodthirstiness almost without parallel in the records of inhuman seta. It does not seem probable:that the fork wounds Gould have been inflicted while the de. ceased was still armed with hie gun, which I believe was • double barrel one. In that aims it is reasonable to surmise that Mr. Thiebault would have fired to dieable his assailant, and that the report of the gm would have attracted atten tion ; but it is asserted that but one discharge was heard, and that one unquestionably was the fatal shot that deprived Mr. Thiebault of his life and crimsoned the green award of Tipperary with the blood of an inoffensive fellow-man. It is not yet perfectly clear why the police should have arrived at the conclusion that more than one was seemed in this noonday assassination. Three wee have been arrested on suspicion, but it has not transpired what constitutes the ground of the suspicion whether their previous character, or being included in the number of persons about to be evicted. The body when found presented a fearful eight. The head was dreadfully beaten—completely disfigured. It lay on its side in a perfect pool of blood, sod class by lay the gun and a three-pronged pitchfork—the double instruments of death. The latter has been recognised by • smith who lives in the locality, but he alleges it was stolen from his forge, by whom he cannot say. The inquest will commence to-marrow, when, after viewing the mangled remain sod taking some formal evidence, it is likely to be adjourned, to give the police time to connect the links, which at present seem rather indistinct." The Freeman states that a report which obtained some currency in town on the previous day, to the effect thst tbe wife of the victim of this diabolical murrlpr had succumbed to the desperate severity of the shock she experienced when the fate of her husband was communicated to her, remained without confirmation. FREeDOM OF FINISKIIB.—M. Coate has recently sent in a communication to the French Academy of Sciences on the freedom of the sea in connexion with the fishing trade. The law interdicts fishing all along the carte of France at certain times end in certain seasons, instead of only limiting the prohibition to those districts where the new generations require to be protected. M. Oahe shows that the seacoasts may be so cultivated se to render such injurious precautions unneomeary.. Fish may either be reared in the epee see or in large Lake and these two methods are productive of digest effects. The Uzbek for instance, will increase in length when loft In ' • state of liberty ; it will, on the contrary, thicker if confined within a tank, just as oxen and = grow fatter in stables than in the open air. Now, if the various species of fish, generally preferred for food , really approach the coast, and remain near it daring their earliest age, there will be no need of such costly precautions for watching the coast as are now employed by the State. And this, M. Coate tells us, is exactly the case. About the month of April certain parts of the coast, and always the same, are visited by the small fry in enormous shoals, con taining every variety, except the ray, which only lays one egg at a time, like the hen, and at different places. To give an ides of the richness of these eirerra, M. Corte describes what be has seen at St. Vilest, where, along an extent of coast of at least 25 miles, the small fry con gregates during the summer season in such profusion that in fishing for prawn, upwards of 200 millions of small tur bots, soles, he., are destroyed ia the course of a sown enough to stoc the whole British Channel with the choicest fish. At the approach of the cold season these agglomera tions are dispersed, and the young fish seek the depths, where the temperature is milder. Hence it appears that the centres where the new generations assemble are near the coast, and that to protect them them is no need of pre venting fishermen from:following their calling in the open sea, it being only necessary to protect the tout. A ROBIN'S Num.—A robin ban built a nest and is sitting upon two eggs, at Mr. Stowses, of Tillie/ham. The bird has built the nest upon • clock, and among other things which she has used for this pose are some ladies' curl papers and hair. Neither the st riki ng nor ticking of the clock has any effect upou the robin, who is eery atten tive to her charge. It may be added that Mr. Slower humanely and regularly gives the bird food as well as ingress and stem through one of the windows of his house. —Chelmsford atronick. Travellers in Spain still have a chance of meeting with adventures. The diligence from Malaga to Granada was stopped by • party of tire robbers on the night of the 15th April at Comte de los Molina (Windmill-hill). ..ad received intimation that a box of specie was in the T 2 gene.. The information, however, was not correcand after a rigorous search which lasted more than an t ho u, during which the unfortunate passengers were kept bons ahajo, extended on the ground, the robbers decamped with the loose cash of which they bad relieved the travellers, amounting in all to 250 dollars. It is not said that any one was ill.treated. ah.l Pd ONDINANY tikiANAll AND nomus. lAILWAIL Tv; — "dnaka. rimmaah Is i a h sz k lati chaa j usuar v al. an Blaakbarn an Maad ...... .... • • yth nag on llamtaa • Insaarike KILO MO Bristol aad iv*. —• • i IS 10Di ITS — Oalailoalai all Cork and Bandon— • all Cornwall • all Do.

Spinners are chary abort making purchaam, except to supply immediate and pressing wants, anticipating a heavy clip, which may teed to reduce the currency. All beery wools may be quoted at pri me which are a shads easier, but all wools of the liner deserip. tioos are exceedingly fine. Both spinners and manufactu rers are pretty well employed for the home,trade, but there is very little activity for the export houses. The beautiful weather on the opening of the " merry month" MUM cheerfulness and good spirits, and there will no doubt be general activity ere long. LACE AND HOSIERY.— Nurricontw, MAN I.—Lee: We are glad to report that several of the large homes in the lace trade have experienced a decided improvement in the demand for all kinds of fabrics during the past week. The fine weather has given an impetus to the spring tilde, and the show of Nottingham goods for the Great Exhibi tion has also assisted in improving the tone of the trade. Black silica are in good request, and guiltier are in tole rably fair demand. Narrow edgings also meet with a better male. The continental and shipping Ueda are exhibiting Ages of improvement, several lace orders having lately been received from Germany and South America.—liosiery The hosiery trade still oontinues u & depressed state, though the display of our manufacturers at the Exhibition sod the fine weather induce employers to hope that there will be a reaction ere long. The high price of material is the gte►t obstacle in the way of trade.
