The allotment letters are to be posted on Saturday evening. The new Peruvian loan is expected to be intro duced to-morrow or on Friday. It will consist of Fonr and a Half per Cent. Bonds for £5,500,000 at 93, with dividend from the Ist inst., and payable in instalments extending to the 24th of December next, on which 4i per cent. discount will be allowed. This loan is intended to absorb all the Peruvia n stocks at present existing in the London market, amounting to about £2,700,000, which are to be re ceived in part payment at various rates, according to their denomination. The who'se of the guano hitherto hypothecated will thus be set free, and is to be appropriated to the new loan, together with the proceeds cf the Belgian contract, the estimated produce being about £500,000 per annum beyond the sums required for interest and sinking fund. The sinking fund is to be accumulative, and at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum, commencing on the Ist of January, and is therefore calculated to redeem the whole debt in 10 years. The Liverpool cotton-market continues to gain firmness from each receipt of American news. The receipts of the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada for the week ending the 12th of July were! £13.877 sterling, being £1,643 more than in the corresponding week of last year. United States Five per Cents., which only a short time back were at 80, have fallen to 63 to 65, being the lowest point ever touct.ed. The London and North Western Railway traffic return show s thi s week an increase of £8,287. It is expected that the prospectus of the new Venezuelan Loan will appear on Friday morning, if not to-morrow afternoon. The amount is £ 1 ,000,000, in a Six per Cent. Stock, at the price of 63, and the operation is framed so as to be very advantageous to the holders of existing bonds, as Well as attractive to those who may feel inclined to participate in the proposed addition to the debt of the Republic. • HOUSE OF COMM ONS —YESTERDAY.

FORSTER moved that the standing orders should be suspended in the case of this bill, and that it should be read a third time. Some discussion ensued as to 1 postponing the bill, on which th e house 1 the propriety of _ ........ This bankrupt was described as a tutor in the Brighton discharge. Grammar School, and came up f or h i s last exam i na ti on and Mr. Pook, in applying for the bankrupt to pass, said that the case appeared hard on the bankrupt, who had in th e first instance offered hi s crad i tors a composition of ss. in the pound, which they refused. He then petitioned the Court, but as it was alleged that he bad disposed of all his property, although for the object of settling with his credi tors, his Honour,l Mr. Commissionar Evans, said that, as the bankrupt had not brought any assets to administer, he felt bound to dismiss the petition, but at the same time expressed his regret at feeling called upon to do so. The bankrupt was subsequently arrested, but was released from custody. For the amendment Against it Majority . . .. —26 _ _ _ Mr.Brough opposed and examined the bankrupt at length, when it appeared that there had been quite an "alarming sacrifice" on the sale of the furniture; and as the creditors would not take the composition, he, out of £3B, paid his then attorney £25 to carry him through the court, and an other legal gentleman had asked him £3O. Mr. COBBETT moved the insertion of a clause to the effect that the company should not have the privilege of depositing the matter dredged from the upper part of the stream at the bottom of the stream. After some discussion the amendment was agreed to. Mr. COBBETT then moved the insertion of a clause providing that when a party claimed a right bona fide to do what might be complained of the jurisdiction of the justices should cease His Honour said he would adjourn the case for Mr, Commissioner Evans's consideration, and grant protection. DIVORCE AND BANKRUPTCT.-IN RE BAMFORD. This bankrupt was described as a major in the army, but he had gone under the name of Captain Carter, &c., &c. Mr. Pook opposed on the ground that the bankrupt had omitted to insert in his balance-sheet a contingent annuity of £5O a year, he was also liable for alimony due to his wife. Mr. Aldrige, for the Crown, thought the accounts ought to be amended. Mr, MASSEY and Mr. GEORGE contended that the effect of the clause would be to nullity the whole bill. The house divided, and the numbers were— Ayes 37 Noes Majority .... Mr. COBBETT moved the insertion of another clause having for its object the prevention of the interruption of the ript which parties exercised between them at present in respect to the stream. Mr. Pook opposed the bankrupt's release, and he was ,aken back in custody. POLICE - THIS DAY. Mt, GEORGE opposed the clause, which was negatived without a division, notwithstanding that the " ayes" were numerous MARLBOROUGH -STREET. Mr. COBBETT said that the act was to extend and en close the rivers lrwell and Mersey at Warrington-Bridge, and the tributaries of the rivers above the junction of the rivers, the effect of which would be to place certain mill owners at a considerable disadvantage. He moved there fore that the words "above the junctions of the rivers" should be struck out of clause 3. AUCTION Room ROBBERY—DARIN G ScHEME.—Fredk. Owen, George Ctx, and George shave, the latter well known to the police, were charged before Mr. Knox wish stealing, at the auction rooms of Messrs. Jones and Bon ham, auctioneers, of 410, Oxtord-street, a large looking glass. Mr. Alphonso Jones stated, about three yesterday after his partner to the fact noon, from the place feet from the door. He w n thatohoenr ae , h li at e rfig h re a e d tl oe h ot k i e s ei nd g i. ngtl attention ah :ea rho d ae r dm a w h,e n 3eon b then crossed the street, and watched the three prisoners and two others not in custody, and saw Owen move the glass nearer and nearer to the street. The three men moved towards Charles-street, when he (Mr. Jones) saw Shave and Cox go in and look at the glass. Owen then moved the glass, and took out a book as if to make believe he was looking at a catalogue. A person then drove up in a cart and the prisoners spoke to the driver, and the driver handled the glass and then got into the cart. He (Mr. Jones) then observed the driver move on a little, and then Owen and Shave lifted the glass, and in about a minute Owen lifted the glass on the top of Shave's head ; but his (Mr. Jones's) partner—Shave having gone about six doors off with the glass on his head—followed them and stoi ped them. 'the prisoners were then seized, and taken to the Marlborough street station. The glass was the property of himself and two partners named Bonham. Mr. William Bonham, ane of the firm, confirmed Mr. Jones as to seeing the glass moved from place to place, and said the prisoners were engaged in the robbery nearly one hour and a half. Mr. GEORGE said that this bill had been carefully con sidered by the House of Lords, and in the committee of the House of Commons, and he felt bound to oppose the amend merit. After some diaXasion the house divided on the motion that the words proposed to be omitted stand part of the clause. CITY NEWS-THIS DAY. Ayes Noes 55 Majority —22 The bill was then read a third time. On the motion that the bill do pass, Mr. CO BBET r protested against the manner in which the bill had been promoted, and considered that the house ought not to pass it. The house divided-- For the till Against it Majority —4B The bill was then passed. VENTILATION OF SCHOOLS. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The discount market to-day again appears a little firmer, owing to a slight increase in the demand resulting from the usual payments at the end of the Month. The change hitherto, however, has been and has scarcely attracted notice in com mercial circles, because accommodation is still ob tbinable s per cent. under the minimum of the Bank of England, and the mercantile classes have not an extensive supply of bills to negotiate. It is expected that the new Venezuelan Loan Will be brcught forward to-day, and that the Peru vian will follow to-morrow. The opinion seems to prevail that the investing public will subscribe largely to both undertakings, as the terms have been arranged in an attractive form. It has been notified that the sinking fund of the Chilian 4-1- per Cent. Loan of 1858 has been increased from 1, at which it was originally fixed, to 1 per cent., and the Bonds have slightly improved in 'consequence. Mr JONES asked the Vice President of the Council of Education whether any, and what steps had been taken to remedy ihe defective state of the ventilation in the Go vernment Schools, adverted to in the late report of the sani tary commissioners; and whether the attention of the right hon. gentleman had been called to the system of Mr. Cooke the engineer, of Spring-gardens, which had been applied to several public buildings, and amongst others the Colonnade Instituti.n, Clare-market. Arrow, 207 C, said nothing was found on the prisoners of a suspicious nature. Sergeant Cole, 23 C, said on the 6th of March last Shave was charged with stealing a coat, and pleaded guilty, and received two months ; and before had had him in custody for opening doors, with a peculiar ins rument f or s t o ppi ng the ringing of bells, set on springs, in his possession at the time. He then received three months' imprisonment. Mr. LO WE said tha Government took the greatest pains with the ventilation of the schools they assisted in building, and he did not think they were in a defective state. He was not aware of the nature of Mr. Cooke's pro cess, but the Government were always open to sugges tions on the matter. The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up to this day, are in round figures as under :-- Mr. Knox said he should send the case for trial, and th• prisoners were committed. PARISH PROSECUTION OF A BROTHEL KEEPER.—Dr. Walton, alias Mr. Walton, alias Mr. Spiller, of 77, Castle street, Leicester-square, was charged by Mr. Allen, of Carlisle. street, Soho, on the part of St. Ann's parish, with keeping a common , brothel. The prisoner was ocintoitted ; bail being fixed at himself in £10,) and two sureties in £5O each. 1862. 1861.

UNION RELIEF AID BILL. On the order that this bill, as amended, be considered, Mr. PULLER moved—That it be recommitted for the purpose of moving clauses to enable the guardians of uni ,, ns to borrow money on the security of rates of parishes within such unions. WIFE DESt.RTION.—David Cullen, a well-dressed man, described as a sail maker, and a Prussian, was charged by Mr. Tett, inquiring officer of St. James's, with deserting bis wife and leaving her chargeable upon the parish since April last. _ _ _ Mr. HIBBERT thought that if the bill passed in its present shape it would operate very harshly on many semi-distressed unions. It was in districts, which were bordering on distress, which were opposed to the bill. He hoped the house would not carry out the principle of a rate in aid. The case having bean proved by Mr. Tett and the wife, who said the prisoner lett her in April last without any means of support, and being also unwell, she was obliged to go into the workhouse. Mr. VILLIERS said the question now raised . was the same which had been disposed of the other night. The object of the bill was more to relieve rate payers than to provide relief for the poor. He believed that the distress would be greater than at present, but that the worst time would be over by October. The evidence having been interpreted to the prisoner by Mr. Albert, and there being no probability of the prisoner coming to any terms with the parish authorities, Mr. Knox committed him for a month with hard labour. After some remarks from General LINDSAY and Mr. CmArrunD, Mr. COBDEN said he had that morning received a telegram from Rochdale, informing him of the opinion of the people that the bill would be valueless. It was the ganeral desire of the people of Lancashire that borrowing powers should be granted. In the name of Lancashire, he was willing to give up the rate in aid altogether if they could not have the borrowing powers with it. (Hear, hear.) CITY, Two O'CLOCK. There has not been much animation in the Eng lish Stock Market this morning, the brokers and dealers' being chiefly engaged with the settlement i n Foreign Stocks and Railway Shares, and some Ba les having been effected, a slight decline has taken place. Consols for money and the 7th proximo are 94k, and 949 for September. The New Threes and the Reduced are flat at 941; Exchequer tills remain at 255. to 28s. prem.; Bank Stock has receded to 2391; and India Five per Cent. Loan, to 1084, Very little business has been transacted in the Foreign Market, attention being almost exclusively directed to the settlement of the account, and prices s how rather less firmness. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 86 1 ; ditto, 1858, 741 75-1; ditto New Loan h as reced e d to 31 prem. ; Egyptian Scrip is ; ea dy, at 121 13 prem.; Italian 5 per Cents. are 7 r t:, at 71! 7 2 1 ; d i tto R a il way L oan h as r isen to 4 z; ditto Scrip, to I prem. ex div.; Moorish 5 per Cents. are 961 ; S ar di n i an are flat, at 841; and Venezuelan, at 281 2.

T he Foreign and Colonial lines are also at Slightly reduced quotations. South Austrian and Lom bardo -Venetian have declined to 221. East . Indian, 1041 ; Great Indian Peninsula to 1021 102 ; ; Great Western of Canada are firm at 1244 ; and Grand Trunk of Canada. 211. Joint-Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares in some instances, a shade flatter. London and Brighton have declined to 64 ; and Bank of Austra lasia to 69. Mr. J. B. SMITH supported the rate in aid. He thought the Government made a great mistake in Not to ing means for promoting the growth of cotton in India. He opposed the borrowing powers, considering that if money were borrowed, the parishes would not be able to pay with out great embarrassment. Mr. NEW DEGATE thought the request of Lancashire a reasonable one. The people of that county must be the best judges of their own requirements. The loan, he thought, ought to be granted in the first instance. Mr. HENLEY approved of the plan of the Government rather than that of borrowing. He thought the plan of the Governme o t should be adopt e d, an d if it failed, Parlia ment could be called together in the autumn. Mr C. LEIGH suupported the views expressed by Mr. Cobden. Lord FALMERSTON said that nn doubt it was an easy way of getting money to borrow it, regardless of conse quences, but it would be the introduction of a new principle which might be applied to every district in the country in which there was any distress. He believed that the wealth of Lancashire and Cheshire was suf ficiently great to provide for any rate in aid which might be thrown upon them. (Hear, hear.) He regretted that some of the wealthy capitalists of Lancashire and Cheshire, perceiving the difficulties and distress which were coming on, had sold the materials they ought to have used, and had gone out of the country. He hoped the house would stand by the bill as it stood. Mr. AYRTON denounced the bill as it stood as a gross injustice. Mr. DEEDES supported the amendment proposed by Mr. Puller. Alderman SIDNEY supported the proposal of the Go vernment. He could not understand where the money proposed to be borrowed was to come from. He thought a loan would be a very unsound mode of meeting a tem porary pressure. The Marquis of HARTINGTON supported the amend ment, believing that loans would be the only means of making pr. perty pay its fair share. The house divided — For the amendment.. 95 SS Against it MAjority —7 Col. W. PATTEN hoped that after such an expression of opinion the Government would take the matter in hand with a view to a modification. Lord PALMERSTON said, the house having decided in favour of the loan principle, the Government would in troduce a measure embodying the principle affirmed. Mr. VILLIERS said he would undertake to propose a clause giving the alternative power of a rate in aid or a loan. The bill was recommitte d p ro forma, on the under standing that Mr. Villiers w o u l d bring up his clau se to mor row. TRALEE SAVINGS BANK B ILL. The order was discharged.

The few prime Scots, &c., on offer commanded a steady sale at full prices ; but all other breeds moved off slowly at barely late rates. The top quotation was 4s 8d per 81bs. Prime Down and half-bred sheep were scarce, and in request at extreme rates ; otherwise, the mutton trade was in a sluggish state at barely previous currencies. The highest figure was 5s 2d per Blbs. Lambs realised late quotations ; but the inquiry for them was by no means active. We have to report a slow sale for calves, pigs, and milch cows on former terms.

The annual meeting of the Netherland's Land Enclo sure Company took place to-day—Mr. G. P. Bidder in the chair. The report of whict. the following are its principal features, was unanimously adopted. The agreement with the Dutch Government had received the sanction of that Legislature. Under that agreement the caution money, less the amount due to Mr. Mynliefl, the utch ccntractor for work exesuted in the year 1853, has been returned to the company. Having obtained this balance (about E 12,000), the board in the month f April last entered into a contract with Messrs. Peto and Betts to re-inclose about 800 acres of land, forming part of the Krabbendyke Polder, lost in 1858; and the board are happy to announce to this meet ing the completion of that enclosure, a portion of which is now being cultivated for next year's crop. The area of the company's land enclosed is now somewhat over 1,900 acres. Upon the report of the company's engineer that the enclosure had been effected, the board made a call of Li, 10s. upon such of the 7 pe- cent. debentures of the company upon which the first instalment of e 2 10s. had been paid, and they passed a resolution to consolidate those debentures, on the call being paid. The holders of those debe tures will therefore receive one £lO debenture for two with £5 paid. This arrangement was made to meet the views of many debenture holders who de ired to have their debentures paid in full, as being then more readily negotiable, and, as no certain periods could be fixed for future calls, the board carried out their wish s in the manner indicated. The outstanding debentures, when the above call is fully paid, will represent £76,550, an amount equal to £4O per acre on the hit d enclosed. The embankment of the .Eastern Scheldt by the Govern ment in connection with the railway will very materially assist the company in its future enclosures. The directors are now endeavouring to let on lease the whole of the en. closed land in one letting, as experience proves no adequate return is obtained by the company on their farming opera tions. The directors think it expedient to sell the endiked land as opportunity may offer, and will propose a resolution to enable them to do so. It is said that the unfair treatment which has been sustained by the Madras Irrigation Company at the hands of Sir Charles Wood will be brought under the notice of the House of Lords on Friday next by Lord Shaftesbury. GOLD SENT TO INDIA.—A Parliamentary re turn states that in the four years, 1857.1860, gold treasure to the amount of £13,731,462 was imported into Br.tish India from various countries, chiefly from China. Mdlle. Patti% fame has awakened the curiosity of the Parisians, and she has been engaged at the opera for next November. The French rarely take to English approved artistes, we trust they will be more generous and wiser in this instance. At a recent dramatic fete held at the Crystal Palace, one infatuated admirer of Miss Lydia Thompson gallantly offered her a sovereign for the gloves she was weaving, which she instantly accepted, to the great amuse ment of the gentleman's triends who witnessed the bargain and sale. the Archbishop of Canterbury has conferred the canonry of Canterbury Cathedral, vacant by the resignation of the Rev. Robert Moore, upon the Rev. John Thomas, D.C.L., Vicar of Allhallows, Barking, and formerly of Trinity College, Oxford. Bullier's Correspondence circulates the rumour that the Emperor, who, with the Imperial Prince, will probably be at the Chalons Camp on August 10, the Nopo leon fete day, intends there to issue a manifesto, in which he will allude to all the greet questions of the day. ADDRESS TO MR. LAING —At a meeting of the dirt ctors of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce yester day, a sub-committee WEiS appointed to prepare a congratu latory address to the TIGn. S. Laing on his return from India, The Czas of Cracow denies the existence of any conspiracy at Warsaw. _ Dr. Hughes and the other Roman Catholic pre lates from America left Dublin, on Sunday, on their way home. The works for the restoration of Ripon cathedral are to be carried out under the direction of Mr. G. G. Scott, at a cost of £30,000. LIVERPOOL COTTON -MARKET, July 30.—The cotton-market has been somewhat excited to-day, and the sales amount to 10,000 bales—including 6,000 on specula tion and for export. Prices of American, Brazil, and Egyptian are id. to id. ; and Surats id. to Id. per lb. higher than las►t Friday's current rates. hEPRESENTATION OF DEVONPORT.—A rumour is current in this borough that the gallant admiral, Sir Michael Seymour, will, prior to the prorogation, accept the Chiltern Hundreds, and thus vacate his seat as one of the representatives of the borough in Parliament. One of the Pagets, a brother of the Secretary to the Admiralty, is at the same time named as the Treasury nominee to succeed Sir M. Seymour. The report also provides for the gallant admiral by giving him the command of the Mediterranean fleet, vice Martin, whose time expires in April next. The reason for carry ing out this little Parliament try arrange ment so far in anticipation of the Mediterranean vacancy is said to be well understoo I in the borough. SUICIDE ON HAMPSTEAD HEATH —Dr. Lankes ter, coroner for Central Middlesex, instituted an investiga tion at the Duke of Hamilton Tavern, New-end, Hemp stead, on Monday, touching the death of Thomas Preston, aged 57 years, residing in Brewhouse-lane, Hampstead. Jane Preston deposed that deceased was her husband, who was engaged in business as a pork butcher. On Friday evening he came home tipsy. He went to bed at eight o'clock and slept till ten o'clock, after which time he be • came very restless and irritable until four in the morning, when he arose from his bed and went out of the house. She never saw again alive. In answer to questions from the coroner and jury, she admitted having struck him last Tuesday night, but contended that they afterwards became ' reconciled, and that he did not complain of the blow. Mrs. Mary Fitzgerald, a neighbour, knew deceased for the last 15 years. She supped with him and his wife on Tuesday night. Deceased was tirsy, and he and his wife vio lently quarrelled, which resulted in the former striking the latter with a poker. Police -inspector Webb stated that he was stationed at Hampstead. At midnigbt on Tuesday last the deceased carat to the Hampstead police station with his wife, whom he had given in custody for stabbing him. He was examined by the police ivisionai surgeon, Dr. Brawn, who upon an examination discovered a wound at the back of the left ear, and said it was but superficial, though it bled profusely. The wound had been inflicted by a common table knite. The wife was detained and locked up in the station all that night, but deceased declined to give evidence against her the next morning, and she was discharg ed from the custody of the police, C ra ne, a donkey driver , de p osed that at half -past seven In o'clock on Sa turda y morning, while he wa s at work H a mpstead Heath, h e found a hat wh ich he knee, on Preston's.

A FRENcir 12021fAIVCE. The Court of Assizes of the Seine tried on Satur day a young man named liarvent, a deserter from the Belgian army, on a charge of murdering, on the 10th of March teat, near the fort of Aubervilliers, a young woman named Vancothen, with whom he cohabited. It appeared from the evidence that he had been a sergeant in the Belgian service, and had embezzled funds belonging to his company amount ing to about 300 f. Finding himself unabl e t o con ceal this defalcation, he determinel to desert, an d having b een en t rus t e d by an officer with font bank notes of 1001. eac h to get change, he absco n d e d with them, and th e woman Vancothen, with wh om he had b ecome acqua i nte d i n a h ouse o f ill-f ame, p According at Brussels,rdingtothe prisoner' s statement, which was supported to a cer tain fl patent b y a letter written by the woman Van the two fugitives had agreed to proceed to Paris, and there, after spendi ng all their money, to com mit suicide together. This project they determined to carry into effect on the ' evenin g of the 10th of March, and went to a lonely place near the fort of Aubervilliers for that purpose. T he prisoner there discharged a pistol at the woman's head, the ball from which entered at the left eye and lodged in the brain. The prisoner, then, according to his own account, walked on a little farther, and tt a empted three times to shoot himself, but the pistol would not go off. He then returned to the woman, and at the same moment some gendarmes from Auber villiers, who had been informed that a woman was lying insensible in the road, came up, and to them he pretended that he and the woman had been attacked by two robbers, who had taken 300 f. from them, and fired a pistol at his companion. The woman was sent to the hospital Lariboisiere, where she died a fortnight afterwards. On going to the spot the next morning the gendarmes found a double-barrelled pistol, one barrel of which had burst and the other was still loaded, and a close examination of the ground led them to the belief that the story of the robbery was false, as only the footsteps of two persons could be found near the spot. The prisoner was consequently then interro gated, and be then confessed that he and his mistress had agreed to die together, and that he had dis charged the pistol at her, and afterwards tried to kill himself, but in vain, as the pistol missed fire three times. The woman when she first recovered her senses at the hospital, told the same story about the robbers, but three days later she gave a very different account, saying that the prisoner fired at her twice and then attempted to strangle her. She said nothing of any agreement to commit suicide together, but that such a project had been enter tained was proved by her own letter written a day or two before the crime. The counsel for the de fence argued that suicide was not a crime in the eye of the law, and that it wasadonbtful point whether a man who assisted another in committing suicide was guilty of murder. Merlin held that he was not, and a judgment was given in that sense in October, 1834 ; but afterwards, in 1839, M. Dupin, then Proeureur- General, brought this question be fore the Court of Cessation, which decided that the above judgment was wrong in law, and since then Merlin's theory had been generally abandoned, though many eminent juris-consults still uphel , l it. As to the second confession of the woman Van cothen, the defendant's counsel maintained that it was dictated by a spirit of vengeance. After hearing the reply of the Advocate-General the jury retired, and in less than half an hour returned into court with a verdict of guilty of murder, but with out premeditation, and they also admitted extent"- ating circumstances. The court accordingly con demned the prisoner to 10 years' hard labour. ATTEMPTED MURDER BY A CLE.RGY- MAN AT EXEIER. , On Tuesday the inhabitants of the city of Exe ter, especially of the lower part of the city, were thrown into the wildest state of alarm, in conse quence of the report that was circulated to the effect that the Rev. George Henry Parminter had committed a most diabolical crime. It is with satisfaction that we are etaabled to correct this re port. We are atilt, however, called upon to narrate a very sad story, though there has happily been an absence of criminality. For some time past the rev. gentleman, who is the rector of the united parishes of St. John and Sr. George, has been in a most melancholy state of mind, owing to pecuniary difficulties, and of late he has exhibited some symptoms of insanity. Early on Tuesday morning, whilst suffering from a severe attack of brain fever, the rev. gentleman, in the absence of Mrs. P a rmi n t er , got out of bed, pos sesssed himself of a pocket knife, and then walked to the nurstry, where several of his child, en were asleep, under the charge of the nursemaid. It would seem that he very quietly walked to the bedside of his only daughter, a little girl of about four or five years of age, to whom he is devotedly attached, and attempted to cut her throat, but only succeeded in severing the stein of the neck sufficient to draw blood. Mr. Parminter on his return to his own room was met by his wife, to whom he said, "Poor little Mary, I have done it." His wife immediately rushed to the assistance of his child, who did not seem the least frightened, and euceeeded in stop ping the flowing of the blood before the medical gentleman for whom she had sent had arrived. the fever was raging so high at the time that the poor unfortunate gentleman seized a poker, but was prevented by his eons from d Sing any mischief, and was ultimately induced to retire to his bed, where he is now confined, in the most prostrate state of night body as well as of mind. The little girl, we un erouthheis derstand, is not much hurt. Mr. Parminter has a large family, who are now plunged into the deepest sorrow. Mr. Parminter is slowly progressing. He was to have - met the committee appointed to take the necessary steps for repairing the parish church this (Wednesday) evening.
