Taylor and Bright's Circular states :—We have had another dull week in the corn trade, and to effect sales some decline has been submitted to on all articles. To-day's market was rather shortly supplied with wheat by our farmers, and which met a fair sale at about the rates current last Tues day. Nothing at all doing in foreign wheat. There is rather more inquir3 for barley, but the general tone of the market is dull. Other descriptions of spring corn meet a mo derate consumptive demand. Linseed supports its enhanced value, and cakes are unaltered. No transactions in rapeseed, but for rape cakes a good sale at 2s 6d per ton advance. Bones fetch our quotations.

Ommaney, K.C.8., commander in chief at Devonport, left for London, on leave, on theM o Monday command morning. ofthe port liisrt flag was struck at suns e t, w hen devolved on Commodore Sey mour, whose broad pendant was re-hoisted on Monday morning, the gallant officer having returned to his duties from leave. Orders were received at Devonport on Monday morn ing to dispatch the Vesuvius, 6, steam-sloop, Com mander Barnard, to Portsmouth, immediately, where, it is reported, Commander Barnard and his crew will be turned over to the Vixen, steam-sloop, and when ready will embark a gentleman accredited to the Brazilian Go vernment from this country. The Vixen, after landing this gentleman, is to be attached to the squadron on that station. The Vesuvius sailed on Monday afternoon for the eastward, having bat iu the morning returned from cruising in the chops of the Channel to relieve the vessels detained by contrary winds. She takes 70 or 80 supernumeraries for the ships at Po rtsmouth. Two of the engineers of the Vesuvius were injured by the ma chinery during her recent cruise, one of whom dislocated his foot, and the other had his hand seriously cut. Engineers from the steam reserve at Devonport were sent on board to supply their places prior to the vessel's sailing for Portsmouth. Hecate, steam-sloop, Commander Hand, ordered to the mouth of the Channel to relieve merchant-vessels, has not yet returned to port. She was spoken by the British merchant brig Zeo, in 48 30 N., 8 W. lon. Diligence, naval transport, Master Commander Mit chell, sailed, on Monday afternoon, from Devonport, with stores for the four eastern yards. PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY.—The Superb, 80, Captain Purcell, was visited this morning at Spithead by Ad miral Sir Thomas Briggs, G.0.M.G., the Commander in -Chief, and the Earl of Minto. Captain Chads, C. 8., of the Excellent, also accompanied the gallant Admiral in the Sprightly steam-vessel, Mr. G. Allen, Acting Master, commanding. Tho Admiral, after inspecting the ship, mustered the ship's company, and Captain Chads exercised them thoroughly in gunnery, and so far as could be judged from the shore, and taking into consideration ihe newness of the science of gunnery to nine-tenths of her crew, they appeared to be pretty good shots. The report about paying the Superb off was premature. The orders at present issued by the Admi ralty are to pay the crew " down ;'' but nothing more. It is therefore probable that this fine ship and her now well-drilled complement will remain for some time in commission yet, and do some further service to the State. The Polyphemus steam-sloop sailed this afternoon for :he coast - of Africa. NAVAL ESTIMATES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIDIES. Sir,—May I request that you will be good enough to publish tho following explanation of my remarks on the Naval Estimates, part of which you have in your co• lumps of to-day. I. I distinctly followed your advice, given in your article of a few weeks since; that is, I attacked the items called " wages to artificers" and materials for ship building. These together account for nearly 1,500,000/. I contended, and contend, that that amount ought to give us many more line-of-battle ships than w© possess. At the rate of 1,0001. a gun, we ought to have for our money ten ships a year at th e l east; and as these oug ht t o l as t, with care, in time u t p eace 40 years, we ought now to possess, alter 37 ye a r s o f peace, 370 such s hip s . I n point of fact we hav e no thi ng like this num b er. Wh ere has the money gon e t o ? empt One portion has gone in building ships, and th e ot h er in destroying them, and hence " the beggarly account of " h u lks we now have to deplore. Th e dockyards are the huge vortex have into which tbo public resources been poured and wasted. 2. I contended that our expenditure for 40,000 men ought to be 2,000,0001. at the outside, on the ground that able seamen can be obtained for 1/. a week to find themselves. Our payment for wages, victuals, half-pay, and military pensions and allowances is 3,173,685/. The above sum of 2,000,0001., in addition to 1, 000,000/ • de voted_to ship-building, an d a margin of 1,000,0001. for pay of officers (who ar e pl aced on half-pay too soo n ) and sundries, would make 4,00 0.000/. in all—tt su m am p le for the naval defence of th e nation on the suppos i t i on that we keep the bulk o f our force at home, an d sen d steam fleets to points wh ere their presence i s wan t e d. Now, our actual cost this year will be 5,600;000/. and more. My proposal would, therefore, save over a mil lion and a half a year, which might be applied to liqui date debt. 3. I pointed out the inadequate defence of the arsenal at Plymouth, showing that our expensive fortifications may be easily " turned" fro m the land side south of the dockyard. 4. I showed that Keyhana was the wrong place for steam docks, which should have been at Mill-bay, where nature had made a splendid basin, now used for mercantile purposes, and in the course of being partially filled in to make a kind of wharf ; in fact, a stranger , watc hi n g what goe s on at Plymouth, would say, "These people are insane. Here is human labour employed in di gg i n g out one leviathan dock an d filling up another, while mud is thrown into the entrance of the harbour, and ships pulled to pieces as fast as they can be built." I t may now be too late to treed the Keyham case ; but, if so, and if the dock be absolutely an d immediately ne cessary, why do the Admiralty only ask for 40,000/. for this year's expenditure on that work ? The whole es timate was 1,225,0001., of which the amount already voted has been 833,0001., and the further estimate is 352,000/. before the work can be completed. Conse quently many years will elapse before the " job' will be done, if we only spend 40 ,0001. a year on it ; and before the happy period artives w e may find out we could have dispensed with our labou r altogether. 5. Inquired of the Admiralty whetherwas intended to re-commission s hi es "all standing," that is, when in a state of highest effici enc y, when a ee years aca d hr e s s xp ng mat er i als to save time craft'troyi n practised and thoroughly - disciplined eerkeen c rw each ship, and when " things h ave entirely shaken wen to gethere after oor eiwhether a future rt dheo i y meant home,tf hewing,' Dha ckitng, and dismantle h r and show "smartness the sar men tnes in the art o f pulling to pieces, and sending about their b usiness—in other words, to be plundered by sharpers of both sexes who of his grateful country. The reply of the Secretary of the Admiralty await the unhappy seaman on the shor e was satisfactory. Trusting that, as my remarks were made in the capa city of a follow-labourer of your own, attacking waste ful expenditure, you will make that clear which the very different reports of the morning papers have made unintelligible,_ I have the honour to be, si r , Your obedient servant, J. S. Tr:a. ____ London, March 23. ,AWNY. FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—An Brighton,accident, resulted fatally, occurred yesterday on tho i chester, and Portsmouth Railway. As the 2.10 t p r oceeding from Brighton to Portsmouth, the lrirain was ver, on leaving a curvejust beyond the Angmering • station saw, a g short distance before him , and near the Ruslin ton 'Brook crossing (occupation road), an old man trudging towards the Littlehampton station, on thesix•feet spa ce b etween the up and down trains. He immediately used th e steam-whistle, and finding that no notice was taken of the so un d , h e con tinued to use it, at the same time having all t h e breaks on the train put on, in order to avoid, , if possibl e, the danger which appeared imminent. o man turn e d out to be an ~.11a aged agricultural labourer, I 4 years of age, Scott by nam e . Being very deaf, he did not hear the whistle, and it would seem that his attention was attracted to som e b oys, w h o we re playing by the silo of the railway southward, f or j ust before the train reached him he stepped from th e s i x-toot middle space to the down line, and was immediately knocked down by the engine. As soon as possibl e , t h e d r i ver " brought up." It was then found that one arm and one leg had been completely severed from the body, an d t h e f oot was so firmly wedged int o the side of the " metal, " at the Ruslington -Brook-crossing, tha r t , it could not b e remove d without the aid of a crowbar. lhe poor fellow was of course killed on the spot. ROCHESTER CATHEDRAL GM RAMAR SCHOOL.— The Rev. R.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Moniteur announces that the disputes between France and Morocco have been completely settled. The PRINCE PRESIDENT, on the proposition of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, has conferred the deco -ration of Commander of the Legion of Honour on M. BOURREE, Consul-General and Charge d'Affaires of France at Morocco, as a mark of satisfaction at the important services he bas rendered during his mission at Tanjiers. The _lioniteur contains a decree regulating the position of the Senate and Legislative Corps with re spect to the President, and the system upon which their proceedings will be conducted. Another decree determines that the judges and magistraey shall take the oath of allegiance to the PRESIDENT. The Prince DE CANINO has left Paris for Rome. M. JANVIER, the Councillor of State ' died on Monday from the attack of apoplexy which he had on Friday last. A telegraphic dispatch from Brussels announces that MM. D'HAUSSONVILLE and THOMAS, accused of publishing a libel on the PRENDBNT of the French Republic, in the Moniteur Francais , have been ac quitted. The accused were defended by M. BAR TELS. We read in the Constitutionnel :—" It is, as already stated, at the Tuileries, in the Salle des Marechaux, that the sitting of the Senate and Legislative Body on the 29th will be held. The Panics PRESIDENT, surrounded by his aides-de-camp, his orderly officers, his Ministers, and the council of state, will be placed on a raised platform ; opposite the PRESIDENT of the Republic will be, on one side the Senate, and on the other the Legislative Body. The PRINCE PRESIDENT will deliver a speech. A form of an oath will then be read, and each member of the Senate and of the Legislative Body, on his name being called over, will pronounce from his place the words—je le jure The clergy, the magistracy, and the diplomatic body will be represented at this solemnity. A small num ber, of places will be reserved in an upper gallery for persons receiving invitations." The same journal says :—" Certain foreign jour nals continue to affirm that there is a regular rush of persons at the offices of the Minister of Finance, de manding reimbursement of Five per Cent. Stock. At noon yesterday, there were only twenty persons at those offices, and half of them were either there from curiosity, or had accompanied their friends." The Bourse was firm, with little business doing. The Five per Cents. opened at 100 f. 25c., and closed at the same price for the end of the month; the Three per Cents. closed at 70f. 60e.; the Four-and-a-Half per Cents. at 1011.; Orleans Railway Shares, 1,175 f.; Rouen, 710 f.; Havre, 287 f. 50c.; Great Northern, 652 f. 50c. ; Avignon, 260 f. ; Vierzon, 562 f.; 50c. ; Basle, 231 f. 25c.; Bordeaux, 557 f. 50c.; Paris and Strasburg. 551 f. 25c. ; Tours and Nantes, 340 f. ; Paris and Lyons, 603 f. 750.

The QUEEN intended to present the POPE with a splendid painting of MURILLO, and a number of car riage horses from the royal stables of Aranjnez. The Gazette contains a decree giving the Canary Islands a new administrative organization. Those islands are in future to be divided into two districts. The first will comprise the islands of Teneriffe, Go mere, Palma, and Hierro ; and the second, the Great Canary, Fuerteventura, and Lanzarote. The Three per Cents. were dope at 39i for time ; the New Three per Cents. at 19} ; the Debt of the First Class at 7k; that of the Second Class, at 5 3-16; and the Coupons, at 9i. GERMANY. A letter from Berlin, of the 18th, states that a meeting of the different parties composing the two Chambers of Prussia had been held, for the purpose of coming to an understanding as to the duration of the prorogation. M. DE MiNTEUFFEL, the Minister, bad been invited to attend, but had refused, as he said that the Government would not consent to a pro rogation of more than ten or twelve days. The Cassel Gazette , which is said to be in com munication with the Hanoverian Cabinet, publishes an analysis of the protest made by Hanover against the interference of the Diet in the question pending between the Government and the equestrian order of Hanover. It is stated in a letter from 'Vienna that the two Grand Dukes of Russia, who are now there, have brought an invitation from the E mperor o f R USSIA to the Emperor of AUSTRIA to be present at the intended grand fetes in Warsaw in the month of June. DENMARK. The Ministry have successfully passed through the Parliamentary crisis, the Opposition in the Diet having concluded not to pass the address of non-con fidence, in consequence of the explan a ti ons ma d e by the Ministry with regard to the great dangers of a change of Ministry under the present critical and unsettled relations of the country. Both Chambers have set aside the address and adopted, on the 16th inst., by large majorities, the following resolution : " Resolved, that though entertaining apprehensions with regard to the carrying out of the principles of the Royal manifesto of the 28:h of January last, the Cham ber, acknowledging it to be inadvisable, under the ex isting circumstances, to adopt the proposed address, dec des to proceed with the discussion of the order of the day." The Diet having thus decided not to resist the policy proclaimed in the Royal manifesto of the 28th of January, all the obstacles which have hitherto been in the way of the definitive settlement of the Danish question, both with respect to the constitu tional organization of the country and the arrange ment of the succession, may be regarded as removed. With respect to the succession, the choice of an English Prince—one of 4ueen VICTORIA ' S younger sons—has lately been proposed by some of the Danish papers. The choice of a successor to the Danish Crown cannot, however, be regarded as any longer open. The House of Hesse and the Emperor of RussrA, whose eventual rights to the succession in different parts of the present monarchy interfered with the establishment of a common law of succes sion for the whole country, have renounced all their claims and pretensions expressly and solely in favour of Prince CHRISTIAN of Holstein-Glucksburg as suc cessor to the sovereignty over the whole monarchy; and this choice bas met the approval of all the great Powers. The choice of Prince CHRISTIAN 13 emi neatly a " Danish " choice, and perhaps the only one that could,be made as satisfactory both to Denmark and to all the great Powers. The choice of any Prince be longing to one of the reigning families among the great Powers would be certain to meet with the op position of the rest of those Powers. The prorogation of the Danish Diet is expected to take place on the 20th inst. The Diet will meet again in October. EGYPT. Intelligence has been received from Alexandria to the 7th instant. Nothing has been decided relative to the Turco- Egyptian question. It appears certain that the last letter of ABBAS PACHA has irritated the SULTAN, and that ABDUL-MEDJID sent it back to the Grand Visir with an annotation in the margin, to the effect that " he could not, he ought not, and he would not consent to give up the point relative to the Tanzimat." It is, in consequence, supposed that the next letter to the VICEROY will be of a menacing character, and will order him absolutely to obey the decision of the Porte. The representations of Sir S. CANNING are not looked on as serious. The other legations abstain altogether. The VICEROY has just returned to Cairo, from his excursion to Upper Egypt, and it was not yet known what effect the last news from Constanti nople had on him. On the 29th February four Pachas had arrived at Alexandria from Constantinople, in the Medjdie steamer. It was said that they were proceeding to Mecca, and that th e y were char g ed to lan d a letter to the VICEROY on their wa y . The y at once set out for Cairo. The works on the section of the railway at l between Alexandria and Da mauhour ha d been com menced, although but little has been don e a . st Thi s , however, shows that the enterprise has not been abandoned. The Duke DE LEUCHTENBURG was expected at Alexandria on the 7th March, and was immediately to embark in the French steamer, the Osiris, for Marseilles. The American Minister had an interview with Lord CoWieder yeaterday at the Beard of Track. SPORTING NOTES. CICIV. THE NORTHAMPTON MEETING, &c. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Siogular to relate, the present meeting at Northampton seems very likely to pass away without giving tho Ring the benefit of a few heavy showers of rain, a circumstance that has not occurred, to my know ledge, fur the last seven or eight years. The course is very hard, and very likely to give the tender-footed ones a slight shaking. My accounts received up to eleven o'clock this morning advise me that the following will be the fields for to-morrow's races:— Earl Spencer's Plate—The Prime Minister, Heart breaker, Thornhill, Forrester, Layburne, Serus, Colt by Prince Caradoc, Lady Agnes (d), Timid Fawn, Free dom, Water Lily, Butterfly, filly by Ballinkeele out of Dart, and gelding by Don John, darn by Priam. Catalpa is as yet the only declared non-starter. The Althorp Park Stakes—King David, Balloon, Stone Plover (d), Nathan, colt by Assault, darn by Lanercost, Postulant, Rumour, Sister to Iracundus, Altitude, Glenavon, and perhaps one or two others of no account whatever. Whalebone, Gossip, Molasses, and Heliogabalus are on the missing list. Northamptonshire Cup Stakes—Clothworker, Abdal lab, Milkboy (d), Brother to Willingham, Paddy Bird, and Pancake. Chief Justice and Mark Tapley, I believe, do not run. Delapre Stakes—Black Doctor, Incurable, Trinket (d), Edward of York, Paddy Bird (d), Hambletonian, Loophole, and Tumbler... Innkeeper.' Plate—Ballet Girl, Milkboy (d), Avia (d), Foehabrs, and Passion colt. My opinion on the Altborp Park Stakes I can render more positive than before, by stating that there is little doubt but that Nat on GLENAVON will catch tb© judges' eye first, and that Altitude and the Assault colt will be the nearest in attendance. . . Not knowing whether CLOTIINVORKER is to be the money horse for the Cup Stakes or not, in his absence I must look to Pancake or Paddy Bird for tho winner; and exi:ect to see Brother to Willingham close up. The Innkeepers' Plate I consider a foregone ct.nicluzivu in fivnur of PocrrenrAiS or BALLET GIRL; the former for choice. I am still of the opinion I expressed on Monday with respect to Earl Spencer's Plato, preferring the PRIME MINISTER, with all his weight, to the crack Dart filly or Freedom; but as he has shown specimens of want of heart on several occasions latterly, if ho should be des tined to be beaten, I fancy it will be by the Prince Ca radoc colt or Freedom, and that the foremost portion of the rest will consist of Timid Fawn and the Dart filly. The betting this morning is brisk, the principal busi ness being on to-day's events, which I need not record. The prices on to-morrow's races rule as follow:—De lapre Stakes-2 to 1 agst Paddy Bird, 3 to 1 agst the Black Doctor. Earl Spencer's Plate-3 to 1 agst Free dom, 5 to 1 agst Dart filly; 6 to 1 eget Layborne ; 6 to I agst Prince Caradoc colt, 7 to 1 agst the Prime Minister, 7 to 1 agst Thornhill, 8 to 1 agst Heartbreaker, 8 to 1 agst Timid Fawn, 10 to 1 agst Forester, 10 to 1 agst Butter fly, 50 to 1 agst Catalpa. Althorp Park Stakes-2 to 1 agst Glenavon, 3 to 1 and 5 to 2 taken freely; little or nothing doing about any other; Humour and Assault colt talked about, 10 to 1 would be taken about either; 10 to 1 offered agst the Fyfield couple. Cup Stakes -3 to 1 each apt Pancake and Brother to Willingham; nothing else mentioned. Innkeepers' Plate-3 to 1 each agst Fochabero and Ballet Girl, taken freely; 5 to 1 any other. Through the imperfect caligraphy of my "man of business," a most ridiculous mistake occurred in yester day's note in reference to the Whittlebury Stakes, which made out that Early Bird, who has been dead some time, was a starter and backed at 10 to 1; it should have been King David who is the starter in question, and who was supported at 10 to 1 to a good bit of money.

MANCHESTER, T UESDAY. —The Africa of the 10th instant brings advise s corro b orat i ng t h e B a ltic's report of a gain of c. to ic. per lb. to the sellers of cotton in the New York and southern markets. But we have also a statement that the latest telegraphic announce ment was that of a decline of ic. (from Bc. to 7ic. for " Sliddling") had occ urre d on the Bth at New Orleans. The receipts were heavy, viz. 130,867 bales in the week against 78,148 in th e corresponding week of last year, and the total re ce ipt s 1,909,344 bales against 1,689,136 in 1851. Tho exports to Great Britain in the last week were 70,734 bales against 46,167 in the same week of 1851, the total exports 688,126 against 547,862; sad the increase of the exports was lik e l y to continue for some weeks. Opinion was more decidedly in favour of the larger estimates of the crop, say 2,800 000 bales at least. These acoounte, together with a change in the direction of the wind which must rapidly bring in large accumulations. of c o tt on ez balesl onin with n the es timated on the seas, and also taken r 80, 7 0 n 0 n excess over last year of nearly stock of Liverpool, have sensibly check e d t h at return of buoyancy which showed itself in our m ar k et at the latter end of last week; again exhibiting our sen sitiveness to any alteration in the raw material, whether proceeding from temporary or more permanent causes. Buyers have become more chary and sellers leas indif ferent about business. The day's transactions have therefore been comparatively small in yarns; and water twist may be had at a decline of fully ed. per lb. in most of its counts and forms. Mule yarns, being rela tively in hatter requo.t, arc not equally affected. The quotations for goods are unchanged, as there continues to be a pretty good, though somewhat diminished, demand for various descriptions. However, the general impression is, that no lasting decline in cotton will now take place ; and that our own prices will only be tem porarily affected. We learn that at Blackburn the weavers in some establishments have turned out on ac count of a dispute, not strictly in connexion with wages. ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—The flannel market has been worse, if pos.ible, than it was last week. The needy manufacturer has been obliged to force a sale by taking lower prices, which has a tendency to make the wool dealer m ore cau ti ous in disposing of the raw material, as he is ge nera ll y t h e sufferer by such proceedings. Wool has maintained its former price, but has been purchased very sparingly. HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—There is scarcely anything doing in worsted goods, either in the piece hall or in the warehouses; and it is difficult to effect sales, even at a sacrifice. There is no change in yarn and wool, except perhaps that the dulness is increasing. HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY. --There has been rather more business doing in th e c l ot h h all and warehouses to-day than last week ; and judging from appearances, confidence in the stability of the s p r i ng tra d e is gaining ' ground. Fancy trouserings and light description s of vestinga have been called for to-day ; and a fair quantity of broad superfine have met with sale. There has also been rather more doing in the wool warehouses. MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY.—Our manufacturers hays been doing a little more business, but prices are unsa tisfactory. We are sorry to have to report another failure of a silk manufacturer in this town, who stopped payment yesterday. His liabilities are currently stated to be 10,0001. The Macclesfield silk trade have had established during the last three years a local board of trade for the purpose of regulating the prices of weaving, which consisted of twelve manufacturers and twelve weavers; Mr. Samuel Higginbotham, solicitor, as the chairman. On :Monday evening last it was given up by the manufacturers, who have long treated it with indifference. A meeting was called by cir culars to all manufacturers in the town, and seven only attended; and it was unanimously agreed not to meet the operatives. A strike is anticipated in consequence. In the thrown silk market a moderate business is doing, at prices which would not be at all remunerative from present rates of raw material. Raw Silk—The market is very firm, with an upward ten dency in China silk; the small quantity remaining in the hand of importers is generally held for an advance on current rates. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, March 23. (Before Mr. Commissioner HOLROYD.) IN RE HENRY BROOME. The bankrupt was a victualler, of the Haymarket. His accounts commerce March 31, 1847, with a capital of 447/, and close October 18, 1851, with the following figures :—Dr. : Unsecured ell ditors, 2,136/. ; creditors holding securitirs, 1,178/, Cr, : Debtors estimated to produce 50/. ; property iu tho hands of the secured cre ditors, 1,178/ ; debt owing by G. Farmer, 301. ; other property, 51. 3s. Bd. The trade expenses are put down at 2,394/. ; the personal expenses at 8771. ; the profits at 2.9631, Mr. LINKLATER, for the bankrupt, said the accounts were satisfactory to the official assignees, although not sueh:as could have been desired by the creditors. The bankrupt passed his examination. COMMISSION OF LUNACY ON A TRINITY-HOUSE PILOT. —Yesterday morning a commission of lunacy was opened before Mr. Commissioner Barlow, at the Green Man Hotel, Bethnal-green, to inquire into the state of mind of Thomas Charles Voy, a Trinity House pilot, late of Com mercial-road, and now an inmate of Dr. Phillips's Lunatic Asylum, Bethnal-green. Mr. Voy, on entering the room, said, in answer to " Good morning," by the Commissioner, " Don't be too fast ; I'll see." The Commissioner—Aye, slow and sure. Mr. Voy—No; I was born before I was sure. The unfortunate man, who appeared to be in robust health, of the middle age, walked round the room, repeating, " I was born before I was sure. I am God Almighty." And, recognising his father in the corner of the room, ho approached him, and seizing him by the hand, exclaimed violently, "This is God Almighty, the father of his son, who I am ;" and then, going round the apartment, he said to the Commissioner, " You are the man of Ephraim, and you (turning to a juror) are Samson; I have fought for him—l am a patient God," &c. Dr. Phillips and Dr. Courtney said they had no doubt of Mr. Voy's insanity. Mrs. Vov was then called, and stated that they had lived upon the most affectionate terms up to the 4th of A pril, 1846. when her husband fell down the hold of a vessel in the London Docks, and injured his spine. She was perfectly satisfied with the treatment her husband received at Dr. Phillips's. jr The Learned Commissioner then summed up, and th e of ini governing tiately hound himse l Mr. Voy hisp r o o f punsound and dmind, that andhehad incapabl e v been so from the Bth of September, 1848. 1 1 ; d a o y w ne n, h o e n ld th a e ri b i o n a g y ue o st f DETERMINED SUICIDE FROM WESTMINSTER. , r d F a ai - i at the .

The prisoner, who appeared quite indifferent during the course of the proceedings, was then removed to the city gaol. —Cork Examiner. EXECUTION OF A BANKEUPT.—At noun, on the 10th inst., just as the Exchange at Ilamburgh, crowded with merchants, presented its business aspect, two drummers in the civic uniform came up and roiled their drums for the space of ten minutes, causing a g!eat commotion b o th within and out of the Bourse. While this was going o n , workmen were seen over the principal gateway of the build ing elevating a black board, on which was painted in w hi te letters the name of a merchant of the city who had lately suspended payments and absconded with all his assets.
