SIERRA LEONE. FROM THE HAMPSHIRE TELEGRAPH. Saturday arrived 'the Surrey transport, Lieutenant Thompson, agent, from Sierra Leone, whence she sailed on the 23d of September, with n;ne women an t i fifteen children, widows and orphans of deceased soldiers, in a most deplorable ;tate of debility from fever; of which number five women and seven children, as well as two seamen of the Surrey, died en the passage. The remaining part of the crew being in a convalescent state, Captain Bore, the Superintendent of Quarantine, put the ship under that restraint. We have derived by this ship the following account of the most recent oc currences and present state of the colonies on the coast of Ai Ica :—On the 24th of August, his Excellent) , Major. General Turner and suite embarked in the Surrey transport, to visit the Banana and Planta i n Islands, in consequence of two tribes (the Caulkers and Clevelanis) being at war, and having detained the trade canoes, which pass to and from the various places on the Sherbro river to Sierra Leone, taking the captives as their slaves, and frequently selling them to slave traders. On the 27th of August, the boats of this ship, with a small party of the Royal African Corps, under Lieut. 'rirompson's orders, landed, with the Governor, and took possession of Plantain Island in the name of the King of England. After retaining possession of it some days, the king of the island, named Caulker (a col,or man), who was educated in England, CAITIc over from the main land, and had an interview with General Turner. The result of this conference was, that, in conjunction with the other Kings and Chiefs, it was agreed that some part of the land on the island of York should be ceded to England, provided his Excellency would give them protection hereafter from tribes which at various times come down from the interior. The treaty being signed, the colours on Plantain Island were again hauled down, and the Governor returned in the shi n ' to Sierra Leone. On the 9th of September, dispatch,s were received from the town of Bathurst, in the Island of St. Mary's (river Gambia), stating, that the whole detachment; of the Royal African Corps, in garrison there, amounting to 134 soldiers, with eight women and seventeen children, which were landed only in June, had all died of fever, excepting thirteen soldiers, and these were in the hospital, unfit for duty : the Com mander of Bathurst was fearful of being attacked by the King of Barra, from the opposite shore, in con sequence of a tribute be formerly received being stopped by General Turner. On the 20th of September, the Surrey sailed with the detachment she had on board, of about one hundred men, seven women, and nine children, to replace these who had died at Bathurst. On her arrival there, on October 2d, was found lying at anchor, the Swinger gun-brig, protecting the place. Her Commander,. Lieutenant Poingdestre, and seven of the crew, had died of fever; also Ensign Stapleton,' of the Royal African Corps. The slave trade is carried on in a greater degree than ever. A Portuguese schooner, of about 90 tons, had been sent in by the Esk. This small vessel had on board men, women, and children, in 'all amounting to 28*. The heart-sicken ing misery discovered, from the crowded and sickly state of the slaves, exceeded any description that could be given of it. hen the 'Surrey left the Sherbro river there were no less than seven slave vessels waiting for their cargees. No accounts had been received from the Gold Coast since July.. The state of those colonies was not known. 'From various reports from the Mandingoe tribes, it is expected the Ashantees will pay Cape Coast ano her s isit. The trade at Porting:leek had rather failed lately, in consequence of the Foulab tribes having stopped the Coast people from bringing down their gums. The timber and wax trade at the Gambia is much improved of late, and from its eing a free port, t i as well as Sierra Leone, for certain arti es, coot, horses, sheep, and poultry, it is not doubted but the trade, in the following year s will be much increased. BRADFORD, Nov. 18.--Business is proceeding in this town in the same way as before the late strike, except that trade is much more dull than it was in June last. Pieces as well as wages have go down to the old prices, and nothing is now wanting but a corresponding reduc tion On.the price of wool to put business on the same icy nag, with respect to profits, as it was at that time. The masters generally have received such men as they have employment for, in a very frank and cordial manner. There are, however,. still rut of work 560 unmarried men, 76 women, and 745 married men, with 1,147 persons dependent upon them for support. A bra4ll allowance is still distributed to the unemployed from the funds of the Union Committee, contributed principally by those who have obtained work, but it has not this week exceeded Is. each to the unmarried men and women; Is. 6d. to married persons with small fa millies ; and 2s. 6d. to those with large families. Much distress of course prevails, which several highly respect able and benevolent inhabitants in the town are endea vouring to mitigate by charitable contributions. We bail as a favourable omen a resolution taken by a num ber cf the principal worsted spinners in Bradford, to diminish the hours of labour in the mills. Hitherto 40 minutes only have been allowed in the day for meals, kat in future the 'work -people are to have an hour for diMner, and 20 minutes for breakfast. The passengers and shopkeepers of the Strand were thrown into alittle confusion on Saturday morning, by the . fuiious career of a horse, wi th a pair of broken shafts afhii heels, iito took his course "up the street.

MURDER OF A WIFE BY HER HUSBAND. FROM TH* JWURNAL. We have a most painful duly imposed upon us this, week, in having to record a mitder, tinder CilEdisistanits so savage and atrocious, as scarcely to be phrstlteled the annals of crane. ?he scene 6f this histrid occur rence was at a small dwelling house, inhabited by the parties and their family, consisting of three children, at the back of Parliament-row, and nearly bpPcWire the Bunker's-hill public house. It appears, OW about a quar ter before ten o'clock on Wednesday bight, the people of the neighbourhetid were thrown ino the greatest alarm by the dreadful cry of " Morder r end s bft pro ceeding to the spot from whence the cry issued, they found m the house of S. Wood, bobbin and cattiage maker, a female lying prostrate on the Anti, With Seve ral large wounds upon her face and head s and her brains literally knocked out. It was scrim ascertained that Wood had, with a coal-pick, inflicted the wounds upon his wife, and thus inhumanly murdered her. The wretch immediately fled; but was apprehended by two men as he was trying to make his escape, and con veyed to the Police Office, from whence he was sent to the House of Correction, to await the verdict of the Coroner's Inquest. The family appeared to be in corn fcrtable circumstances ; and we understand the norm. tunate deceased, who was respectably connected, was in possession of property amounting to 801. or 100/. per annum, which was so secured that her husband could not touch it. TILE 'CORONER'S INQUEST. The Jury met on Thursday to investirte the case, Joseph White, a surgeon, proved, that the dtceased had died from wounds inflicted with some obtusely rointed instrument of considerable wright. The jaw of the deceased was fractured ; there sires a wound on the back of the neck, and three on the skull. Elizabeth Burrows said, I am nearly fourteen years of age, and am no relation to Mrs. Wood. I have lived in the house of the deceased either a fortnight .r three weeks. I live with Mr. B. Dunn, who lodges there; he is my uncle. S.lmuel Wood, Mrs. Wood, and myself, got our suppers together ; no other poison was in thr house, except three of Wood's children, who were op stairs in bed. After supper, Samuel Wood wanted me to go to bed, but Mts. Wood said I had better sit up with her until my uncle came. The deceased and Wood were drinking rum and water. TLey had no quarrel then, but were very merry. They talked, but I cannot remember what about. Wood was very much in liquor, and when he was going up stairs, as if to bad, he fell on his knees on the stairs. Mrs. Wood told me to go up stairs, and wait till he was gone to sleep. I went and took a candle. In five minutes I heard him go down again ; he came up stairs again, and tried my room door, which was fast. He again went down, and 1 heard Mrs. Wood call him a rogue, and say she a ould go and see if the could not fetch a constable. I did not hear Wood say anything, nor mention money. I heard the deceased crying, and shriek out " Murder!" I imme diately ran down stairs, and saw her on the house floor; she was not bloody then; he was across her. She had hold of the coal-pick, struggling to prevent him hitting her with it. He got it from her, and gave her three blows, having hold of the coal-pick with both hands, as hard as he could, over her head. She did not speak after the first blow. The blood flew all about, after he began to strike. When be was upon her, I ran up to him, and said, "Oh ! Mr. Wood, what are you doiog ?" He did not speak, but got off from her, and ran after me. The door was a little open; I catched hold of it, and whipped out before he could get hold of me. I cried out, and many persons who lived opposite heard me, and came to me. Never saw the coal-pick in the house before; them was another hammer to break coals with. Win. Wainwright, watch•maker, Bridlesmith-gate, said, Wood came to my house on Tuesday, and said he wished to speak to me, for he had something on his mind which made him very uneasy. I asked him what it was? He told me he had caught a person in an im proper situation with his wife on Saturday, and that he was a ruined man. He asked me what he should do? I advised him to discharge the person coming into the house, and live comfortably with his wife. He said he could not live comfortably with her any more, and that "he would do something in a few days which all would be astonished at." I asked him what he would doi He said he would leave the town. 1 John Simpson sworn.--I was passing near the Milton's Hold, and beard the shriek of " Murder!" I ran and saw the little lid (Slizabeth Burrows) running away, and Wood running after her, with a coal-pick in his hand ; he followed her about seven ya ds, and then turned back into the house. He closed the door (ter him I hint give Something a blow, but what I Cold not tell. In a few seconds I heard him drop something, whichijudged to be a coal-hammer. In about half a minute ate he came 044 and was making his escape towards the open paddock. He had neither coat, waistcoat, nor handkerchief on. Asked WoOd Whafhe bad done so for ? Wood answered, "Oh Good Loan, what cottld I do, when I caught her in the fact?" Other witnesses were called, who confirmed the evidence, and the Jury returned a verdict of Wilful Murder against Wood. The deceased bore an irreproachable character in the neighbour. hood, so that the statement of the prisoner respecting her conduct is entitled to little or no credit. i When Mr. SHERIDAN. was an his death-bed he was visited by Mr. TAYLOR VAUGHAN, who found him in a situation, arising from sickness and poverty, that we cannot venture to. describe.. With feehngs strongly excited, Mr. VAUGHAN hastened to Carlton House, and represented to Colonel APMalintl the scene . which . he had just witnessed. The Colonel instantly went into the PRINCE Umlaut's apartment, And 'made his Royal Highness aeon sinted with what had heel; related. .Pre PRINVE, who hAd not been previously informed of Mr. SHERIDAN'S illness, desired that immediate peau.. niary assistance should be conveyed to him, and ;named the sum of 5001. as a present relief.

Perimit's commands; 'but Mr. V. said 'that so large a 'm was .iltowether Unnecessary in the first instance, 'airicculd only be prevailed upon to take 200/. promising to ask for the ten:minder when it Was wanted.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. —.e.--- GUILDHALL Mx Smith was charged with stealing a handkerchief from the person of Dr. Lushington, as he was passing through Shoemaker Row Blackftiars. The prisoner being unknown to the Police was remanded, that his charactersnay be inquired into. William Smith, foreman to Mr. VTr a a or gerton-mills, Surrey, was charged with having in his possession a %umber of sacks, be longing to ochre miller; Pair which he coned not satisfactorily ac count. The lov to chenille * in the article of sacks, was stated to be 200,0004 a-year ; and the sacks in question were discovered packed up, at Trig Wharf, Thames-stfeet, ready to send to a paper mill, near Twyford. There were pieces of sacks bearing the marks of fifty-four different firms, in the 9 cwt. thus discovered, they were ultimately traced to have come from the prisoner's mill. The prisoner stated that a pan of the sacks were in the mill be fore be was employed there, and the others had accumulated, by being sent by mistake, one at a time, among lots of their own, by the several sack collectors; and it was the practice of millers, all over the country, to keep possession of all the sacks thus regularly sent.—The prisoner was remanded. BOW-STREET. For some time past extensive frauds have been practised on the Bank, and the East India and South Sea Stocks, by persons surrep titiously and by perjury obtaining letters of administration, as being next of kin of the individuals in whose name the Stock was standing, and then di.posing of it. These frauds were committed generally in cases where the dividends had not been claimed for some years, and where, of course, it was supposed that the Stockholder was dead, and that their relations werefgnorant of their dying possessed of any such property; but, in sonle instances, the intended fraud has been prevented by accidental circumstances, and a recent occurrence has led to the discovery of several parties engaged in a systematic plan for effecting this description of fraud. On one occasion a Lady appeared to obtain administration to a Gentleman, who had resided in l odia, and his death was represented as having happened while on his passage to England, and a man accompanied her, who stated that he was a passenger in the same vessel, and could therefore vouch for the death of the Lady's relation—unfortunately, however, for them, it turned out that the Gentleman was tiring in this country. The discoiery took place, as we understand, through the follow ing circumstance :—An administration had been taken out, by a person swearing that the personal estate of the deceased was under 4001. but it afterwards appeared, that be had stock standing in his name, to the amount of 18,900/. and as no part could be transferred or disposed of, without paying duty for the whole, the administra trix applied to have her letters extended, when the enormous dis proportion of the property first sworn to, with the amount after wards named, caused the enquiry which led to the developement of the conspiracy : and Daniel Bishop, the active and intelligent offi cer of the Bow-street establishment, has apprehended several per sons suspected to be concerned, and has found in their possession regular entries of business done, and to be done, in this species of depredation. Foacray.—C. Islet and Elk. Gushier, alias Gamer, alias llfeek, underwent a second examination, charged with making and uttering forged letters of attorney, to receive Bank Stock. It appeared in the course of the examination, that the two pri.oners bave been connected with one Rigaud in obtaining letters of administrational the effects of several persons deceased, and also of one person actually living, but who is now in a madhouse. Mr. Feminism, theßank Solicitor, attended for the prosecution, and stated that he went to Worthing with Bishop. the officer, and found among the prisoner's papers a memorandum book, containing a list of unclaimed Bank Stock, and those sums which bad been received were crossed off. It appeared that the names of the parties were there which related to the forged letter of attorney which he produced. A vast deal of evidence was tone into tending to implicate the prisoners, and Mr. Haxt.s ordered them to be brought up again on Saturday next. The °ewe was crowded to excess. The appearance of the female was interesting. Sir Wal•er &Iwo and Mr. Jenner, 'the proctor, were held to bail, in consequence of what took place at the Court of Delegates, on Tuesday last. QUEEN-SQUARE Saturday, Mr. Jahn &one Chappell, a silk mercer, residing in Oxford -street, was remanded, charged with forging an indorsement to a bill of exchange for £lOO, purporting to be that of Mr. William Chappell, his brother. HATTON-GARDEN. bramicurt.—.Tailia Deny, a young woman who was in the see vice of Mr. IVesdey, of Lamb's Conduit -street, was charged with the murder of her infant child. The circumstance was discovered by one of Mr. Westley's servants, who, on going into the back offices on Saturday morning, saw several marks of blood, which in duced him to think that some one had attempted to comtnit suicide. This fact being mentioned to Mr. Westley, the grett alteration which had taken place in the prisoner's person Induced them to consider that the prisoner had destroyed her infant. A strict search then took place, and the body of an infant was found down the water closet. It was proved that the prisoner had lately be come very corpulent, but it was not presumed that Ow was preg nant. It was also proved that she staid up very late 'lon Friday night, and that early on Saturday morning the moans of some per son, as if in great agcny,were beard in her room. A surgeon was also, examined, and he said that the prisoner bad been recently delivered, but there did not appear to be any marks of violence on the Verson of the child. The prisoner said she was innocent. She was remanded for further examination. UWION-AALL Straiten:it. Hoax.--One of thine despicable tricks called hotzes was ton Wednesday last practised on a highly respectable Gentleman who lives nest' Kennington . COMMIS. He had entertained a few friends on the Stb of November, among whom was a youth who amused the party by letting of a few squibs and crackers. Some days afterwards a paper in the following terms was left at his house : " November let 1825. "..Union Hall to Wit.—Wbereas an information has been laid on oath before us, that you did in the month of November let off or eahr to be let off sundry fire-works, to the great annoyance of his 'Majesty's peaceful subjects. 'fbis is to command you to appear before us on the 1 tith inst. as ten o'clock in the morning, to answer sichiCiniplaintis may be "prefeered against you." t &Wad) "M. Swaney. .7. Surf." Accordingly the Gentleman attended at this office on Saturday Morning ; when, after waiting some hours for the appearance of the supposed informer, he leirnt that the Ammons was a forgery. It has been said, that Parliament must of necessity , be ~solved eatly in next year, but this is a mistake; for the Parliament did not meet till the 20th April, 1890, and as its - deviation is not sessional, but septen nial, it will not 'expire until the 20th April, 1827. The in stanceivihiCk since the present family came to the throne, have occurred of Parliaments continuing above six yews, are the following ;—ln the :reign of George , 11. the Parliament which met the 2d November, 1727,• was not dissolved WWI 18th April 1734, hating existed six years, four months, and twenty-one days. The Parlia ment immediately following met the 13th June, 173*, and sat till 28th April, 1741, being six years, ten_ months, and fifteen days, (which was the greatest dura tion of any Parliament since the long one of Cromwell). The Parliament which met the 13th August, 1747, con tinued until the Bth April, 1754, being six years, seven months, and twenty-six days. The following one met the 31st May, 1754, and continued until the 20th March, 1761, being six years, nine months, and twee ty days. The first Parliament of George HI. met—May, 1761, and sat until the 12th March, 1768, being six' years, nine months, and twenty-one days. The fol lowing Parliament met 10th May, 1768, and sat till 30th September, 1774, being six years, four months, and twenty days. The Parliament which met 18th May, 1784, sat until the 10th June, 1790, being six years and twenty three days. That which met the 27th September, 1796, sit until the 29th June, 1802, being six years, trine months, and three days. Since then no Paihanient has continued for six years; though the one which commenced November, 1812, lasted within six months of that period. Sixteen or the fine trees leading to the Bishop's Pa lace, at Wells, were blown down in the hurricane on Thursday week, and scarcely a house in the city but i ,sustained some injury.

LORD MANSFIRLD.—This learned and eminernJudle was born at Perth ; when he was entered at Onford,ele person who gave in the place of his birth, being a Secs. man, spoke Perth so much like Bath that the last rarn• tioned place stands upon the books. In digging lately below the floor of the north winter the transept in the cathedral of St. Magnus, Kirk.call, the workmen came upon two stone coffins . or tern. phagi. One of them is hewn out of a block of free stone, with a place for the head, and is upwards of are feet long. It was filled with lime, and is broken through the middle. The other was composed of ser rate stones, and appears to have had a wooden C 063 within, part of which, as well as a number of liun bones, were found. These coffins must be cf 'mean. tiquity, as it has not been the practice to bury in tins Manner in Scotland for many hundred years. Tatted no inscription.
