GENTLEME m, THE Administration of Sir Robert Peel having Ere the been disiolved, her Majesty has been pleased to confey upon Office of First Lord of the Treasury ; my seat in Parliament has, theref ore, b ecome vacant, and is again at your disposal. When you did me the honour to ask me to represent you, I con- Bented to become a candidate, not merely or chiefly because the dis tinction of representing the City of London was a just object of am bition, but because I wished to obtain for the principles of Commer cial Freedom the sanction of your approbation. Although I was elected by a very small majority, and the elections of 1841 were adverse to my. hopes, and favourable to the doctrines of Protection, every year that has since elapsod, has witnessed some relaxation ot restriction, and some advance towards the establish- Mont of fhe principle Or which I contended. Finally, we have this year seen Sir Robert Peel propose, and carry a measure for the total repeal of the duties upon foreign corn. You may be assured that I shall not tiescrt, in office, the princi ples to which I adhered when they were less favourably received. I fann e ot, I n deed, claim the merit el th er o fli a ving c a rrricd measures off ree prycte.xertions of tr an ed as a Minister, or of having so prepared.the public mind by Mine as to convert what would have been an Ins tinectimable attempt into a certain victory.

On CHASTITY and its INFRINGEMENTS (An Essay for 1846.) "Of human ills and frailties I discourse, Those taught by nature, and by art acquied. Of gr!efs conceal'd, and disappointments keen, Which young and gentle, the matured and sage, The lonely and the mated—all sustain. In kindly spirit, herein counsel's giv'n, How health, how hope, how happiness to gain." WHAT to EAT, DRINK, and AVOID; With Diet Tables forall Complaints. Contents :—How to ensure perfect digestion, tranquil feelings, a good night's rest, a clear head, and a contented mind. By an ob servance of the instructions herein contained, the feeble, the ner vously delicate, even to the most shattered constitution, may acquire the greatest amount of physical happiness, and reach in health the full period of life allotted to man. " How we should live—what eat, what drink, what shun, To reach in health fall threescore years and ten." These interesting little volumes, although bearing upon subjects of very delicate import, as their titles imply, will be found of immea surable and general utility, for they tell of matters everyliving crea ture able to understand ought to know, but which information in these enlightened times, except that quality promulgated through questionable channels, is at a very terrible discount. In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths of nature, of human disappointments and their ways of relief, it is not contended that every reader shall become his or her own physician any more than their own lawyer, but it is insisted upon that we should know the simple principles of our owu organization, the laws whereby our existence and the issue thereof in their k seicral healthy states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our individual capacities in the family circle, and the terms on which the health and happiness of the present and future race of mankind have to rely. By such knowledge, and which is herein faithfully imparted, health will be found to be in our own keeping, and happiness within the attainment of all ; by the availment hereof in fulfilling our duty to ourselves, we secure tho like advantages on our offspring to follow, and finally by the cultivation ,f o ur f acu lti es, which is in consistent with degenerate health, the mind as well as the body may be exalted to the summit of perfection, as best becomes the highest of God's creations. The author's justification for this seeming eulogy of his own writ ings, and the avowal of their integrity of purpose, must be measured by their perusal—his accredited qualifications guarantee that the topics broached involve his legitimate study and pursuit.

B. Watkins, chair, Esq., occupied the • The Mayon stated that he had consented to preside in consequence of a requisition presented to him, and signed by gentlemen of all parties. If the meeting had been called merely for party purposes, he need scarcely say he should not have Oxen there. He called upon Mr. R. EL GREG to propose the first resolution. Mr. Greg read a letter from the Hon: Mr. Villiers, cordially approving of the object'of the meeting, and expressing a hope that it might be successful. Ile also read a letter from Mr. C. Paget, one of the most successful agricultu rists in the kingdom, offering 1001. towards a subscription, and then proceeded to eulogise the conduct of Mr. Cob den, who, he had been informed, had not only given his labour and lime, but, he had it from good authority, had sustained an actual loss of 50,0001. by his unwearied attention to the League. He proposed the following resolution:—" That this meeting, impressed with a deep sense of the untiring exerions; the unsparing self- sacri fice, and unrivalled wisdom and prudence exhibited by Richard C o bd en , d ur i ng the seven years' struggle for the delivery of our industry from the restrictions of an impolitic and unjust legislation, desire to conclude this peaceful and moral triumph by a fitting expression of honour and gratitude to that man to whom the nation is mainly indebted for its successful issue ; it is therefore resolved, that our fellow-Countrymen be invited to co operate with us in testifying their appreciation of the unparalleled services rendered to the nation by Richard Cobden, by raising for, and presenting to him, a nationa tribute commensurate with his deserts, and with the character of the British people." . —(Loud cheers.) Mr. Wei. BROWN seconded- the motion, which was carried unanimously. The Maxon then read a letter from the Earl of Radnor, approving of the Objects of the meeting, and desiring to have his name put down as a subscriber. Ile a!so read a letter from Mr. John Brooks, who ex pressed a hope that at least 100,0001. would be raised for the testimonial, and begging that his name might be put down for any sum not exceeding 5001. A letter was read from the Earl of Daeie, stating that they ought not to be satisfied with an amount less than 100,0001., and also a letter from Sir Joshua Walmsley, expressing his desire to be useful with others in promoting the object of the meeting. Mr. ROBERT GARDNES, seconded by Mr. J. P. WEST HEAD proposed the appointment of a Committee for carrying out the previous resolution.

PRICE SD. ........ . . .. _ . THE BISHOP OF LONDON'S NEW CHURCH DISCIPLINE BILL. The following is a synopsis of the Bill introduced by the Bishop of London—" For amending the laws for the correction of clerks," which has excited so much attention amongst the clergy. The preamble states that the manner of proceeding in Ecclesiastical Courts for the correction of clerks requires amendment, and repeals the 4th Vic., `.Act for better enforcing church discipline," and the Ist Hen. VII., " Act for bishops to punish priests and other religious men for dishonest lives," and it provides that all proceedings commenced before the passing of this Act under the authority of the first recited Act shall be continued, and carried on to judg ment and ex ecution, and all such proceedings and judg ments shall be as valid as if the first-recited Act had not Leen repealed. The Ist clause defines the terms "benefice," " bishops, ' and " diocese." The 2d 'enacts that' any clerk in holy orders of the Establiehed. Church, who shall be charged with any of fence agairzst the ecclesiastical laws, or concerning whom there shall be any scandal or evil report, or who may have demeaned himself in any manner unbe coming a clergyman, the cognizance of the cause shall belong to the bishop of the diocese in which he shall hold any benefice ; and, in the case of a clerk holding no benefice, to the bishop of the diocese in which he shall reside ; and if he have no known place of resi dence in England or Ireland, to the archbishop of the province in which the offence is alleged to have been committed ; or, if the offence is alleged to have been committed. out of England and Ireland, to the Ar2h bishop of Canterbury ; in any case in which it shall ap pear to ehe bishop, &c., that the expense of the pro ceedings Avould be much lessened.by causing them to be instituted in another diocese in which the offence is charged or reputed to have been committed, if he shall think fit, he may make over thd cognizance of the cause bYlettefs Of request to the bishop of such other diocese. The 3rd enables the Bishop, if he should think proper, before articles against a clergyman are filed, to cause a preliminary inquiry to be made, and to admonish the accused, who may consent to a private inquiry taking place. The Bishop, either personally or by commission, I to examine witne sses i n t h e presence of the accused,, unless with his written consent. He may tender wit nesses for examination, and cross-examine such wit nesses as shall appear in support of the charge ; no counsel, advocate, agent, proctor, or attorney, shall be allowed to be present. It upon being required so to do, the accused party shall thereupon, by some writing under his hand, confess the truth of the charge, and con sent that the Bishop shall forthwith pronounce sentence upon him, the Bishop may pronounce forthwith such sentence, which shall not exceed the sentence which might be pronounced in due course of law. The 4th requires that articles of accusation shall be signed and approved of by an Advocate practising in Doctors' Commons, and the party exhibiting such articles to be bound with two sureties for the payment of costs in the event of the charge failing, to be approved of by the Registrar of the diocese in sums to be fixed by the Bishop. Not to apply to articles exhibited by the Bishop. sth. Benefices may be sequestered to pay costs in the event of conviction. 6th and 7th. Articles to be filed, and articles, notices, and requisitions may be served personally, or left at re sidence of party accused. Bth. The accused to appear when cited, either person ally or by agent, within fourteen days.

Questions of fact to be decided by a majority of the court, and those of law by the Bishop, &c. 15th. Offences and punishments. The Bishops, &e., may punish, by admonition, by deprivation of, or sus pension from, any benefice, and by adjudging to be per manently disabled to hold any benefice or exercise any spiritual function, or by deposition from the ministry, any clerk in holy orders who shall be found guilty of blasphemy, heresy, schism, or of lewdness, incontinency, drunkenness, or other indecency of life or conversation, or of simony, or who shall have been convicted of trea son or felony before any Temporal Court, or for any other cause for which by law now in force he may be deprived, or is declared to be disabled to hold any office or benefice, and every clerk so deposed or adjudged to be disabled shall be for ever disabled to hold any spiri tual office or benefice, or to exercise any spiritual func tion. 17th. Empowers the Bishop to inhibit the accused from performing the services of the Church during the investigation and until the decision of the appeal, if appeal be claimed. Tho accused may nominate a fit person to act,.. who,.lf ~ t. i pi p Lozi2f,3ay. xt i h ybijrit t e e n b e i ineenle ' of the benefice. 19th. Witnesses and production of papers may be compelled to attend by subpoena. 22d. Witnesses to be examined on oath. 23d. Appeal allowed to either party to the Court of Appeal only on the ground that evidence material to the issue of the cause has been wrongfully received or re jected, or that any judgment in order given to the cause by the Bishop, &c., was not warranted by law, and on either ground to move the Court of Appeal to order that a new trial, or that the judgment or order complained of be vacated and annulled. 24. Appeal shall be to the Queen in Council, and shall be heard before the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, unless the articles shall charge heresy, or the Bishop having cognisance of the cause shall be of opinion, and shall certify under his hand to the Lord Chancellor, that a question of heresy or false doctrine arises from consideration of the cause, when the appeal shall be to a commission of delegates, to be appointed according to the laws in force in cases of heresy, before the passing of the Act 2 and 3 William IV., intituled " An Act for transferring the Powers of the High Court of Delegates both in Ecclesiastical and Maritime Causes to his Majesty in Council." 25. Bishops who are of the Privy Council are to be of the Judicial Committee on appeals, and no such appeal shall be heard before the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, unless, at least, one of such Bishops shall be present at the hearing the reof. The Bishop who shall have heard any such case, either personally or other wise, shall not sit as a member of the Judicial Committee on appeal in that case. 26. No appeal shall lie, without leave of the Bishop, &c., presiding at the trial, from any interlocutory de tree or order not having the force of a definitive sen tence, nor in any case unless the party prosecuting such appeal shall become bound, with two sufficient sureties, in such reasonable sum as the Bishop shall deem suffi cient for the security of the other party, that the appel lant will prosecute such appeal with effect, and pay all costs incurred by such other party by reason of the appeal which the appellant shall be adjudged by the Court of Appeal to pay, in case he shall not succeed in the matter of his appeal. 27. Empowers the Court of Appeal to order new trial, when, where, and before such bishop as it shall direct ; or to affirm, reverse, or annul the judgment or ' order • or to make other orders. 28. Sentence to take effect after the determination of appeal. 29. Enacts that no criminal suit shall be instituted in any ecclesiastical court except such as are constituted by this act. 30. The act not to interfere with persons instituting suits to establish civil rights. AN ENGLISHMAN'S DEATH IN A STRANGE LAND. The following account of the death of Charles W. Thompson is given in a letter from the American mis sionary, Mr. Ives, stationed in the Sandwich Islands. It is dated Honululu, March 14, and appears in a recent number of the .New York Commercial Advertiser:— " We followed to the grave yesterday, Charles W. Thompson, aged 29 years, foremast hand of the Panama, Captain Crowell. He was the eldest son of Lieutenant Colonel Thompson, who now resides in Nottingham, England, and who served under Wellington in the Peninsular war, and also at the battle of Waterloo. "He received the name of Charles William Byron, his mother being a second cousin of the poet, Lord Byron; but he preferred to drop the name of Byron. " After graduating at Christ's College, Cambridge, he was ordained over a parish of the Church of England. Not being pleased with his situation there, and conscientious scruples about the connexion ofCht‘t-rinct. and State, his relation with his parish was w rd alite dissolved. His father had then acquired laud in the U States, and Charles, with his wire, was proceeding thither on business connected therewith, when the vessel, being driven by a strong cu rrent, and surrounded f or many d.tys with a thick fog, instead of reaching New York, was wrecked on the shore of Halifax. Hi s w ife, in consequence of exposure, was thrown upon a bed of sickness, and about a month after expired. In consequence of loss from this wreck he was obliged, in order to prosecute his business, to return to England, and on his reaching America the second time was wrecked on Long Island. After forming acquaintances in the family of Mr. Vanfleet, of Hyde-park, in Duchess County, New York, he was again married. His second wife died in childbed, leaving him a little son, whom he left at llyde-park, with his grand -parents ; thence pro ceeding song', on business, the vessel was run aground on the Jersey shore, which was the third time that this unfortunate man had been wrecked, where he lost his remaining all. Becoming now discouraged, he found his way to Sag Harbour, where his name was enrolled as a foremast hand for a whaling voyage in the Pacific. " Before sailing he became acquainted with some of the principal families in the place, who endeavoured to persuade him from his anticipated voyage, with the promise, on the part of the Rev. Mr. Capis, of finding him employment as tutor in their academy. Failing in this, the ladies of the place presented a request to Cap tain Crowell that he would bo particularly careful of Thompson. _ _ _ _ " Though ho says he had not lifted a 50 pound weight before in his life, he was now ready at every call, and by his prompt obedience ingratiated himself into the favour of his master and officers, and by his meek and obliging conduct into the good-will of all his companions. Whenever a dispute arose among the hands, they inva riatbly looked on him to settle it. Yet he was not back ward in reproving siu among them, Iten he saw au oc- RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS.

Dr : John Ryan, the chemical lecturer to this institu tion, Is at present delivering a course of lectures on the philosophy of heat and cold. These lectures are admi rably adapted for this season of the year, as the learned Doctor, instead of merely confining himself to the usual routine of writers and lecturers on this important sub nt, treated principally of the matter in connexion with meteorology and the economy of clothing. After in troducing the subject by treating of the various sources of heat, Dr. Ryan proceeded to consider the change of condition produced by this imponderable in every de scription of matter. His illustrations in this departinent of his lectures were most happy and numerous, com prising a condensed description of thermometers and pyrometers ; under this head, also, he explained very simply and beautifully the theory of ventilation, the cause of the trade-winds, land, and sea breezes. The lecturer then proceeded to consider the communication of heat ; first, by conduction and convertion ; secondly, by absorption and radiation Under the latter head, Dr. Ran explained most concisely and satisfactorily the theory of dew, and the cause of its deposition ou some surfaces and not upon others. The Doctor showed by numerous well-appointed experiments that those bodies which absorb heat rapidly have also the power of radi ating caloric with great rapidity, and, therefore, they cool more quickly than mere reflectory surfaces. Thus while the earth and the grass absorb heat in the day more rapidly than the smooth-gravel walk, yet after the sun-set the process of radiation on the dark surfaces continue to cool by radiation until the moisture of the contingent air is condensed into dew. Lastly, the talented gentleman explained the sensible and latent conditions of heat, showing the cause of the changes in the temperature of the bodies, produced by the passage of matter from the solid to th e liquid, or from the liquid to the aeriform state ; or vice versa. We are sorry that our space will not allow us to report more fully the latter portion of this excellent and truly philosophical lecture. In conclusion, Dr. Ryan showed that by co-operation he could easily freeze water. In fact, he quite astonished his auditors by forming a large mass of ice in a metallic vessel, at a red heat. We un derstand that he intends to continue the subject a week or two longer. ~ 2 1G2 ~~~ • casion. I found on getting acquainted with him, that by his extensive travels in Europe and America, his reten tive memory, his excellent address, and a command of language, he was a man qualified to please and interest in the most intelligent circles. " It may be interesting to his friends abroad, should they meet with thi s , t o k now t h at a week before he died, he accompanied me to an outward district, and addressed the natives twice, while I interpreted. In the evening he spoke of th e en ti cements w hi c h sailors set before them, and earnestly warned them to use every means to resist them. In the morning he addressed them again from these words—'Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord,' and spoke as one who had recently reflected much on that blessedness. " Jan. 28, at three o'clock, P.m., he entered into our house apparently much fatigued, and requested the privilege of reclining. I showed him a bed, where he soon sunk into a fit of apoplexy. Upon discovering his situation, Dr. White, of the Majestic, was called, who attended upon him assiduously ; but notwithstanding what could be done, his spirit departed that evening about eleven o'clock. " Watch, therefore; for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.' LONDON AND PARIS FASHIONS FOR JULY. MORNING pansses, made in foulards, poil de chevre gris de lin, ecru, or pouissiere (dust colour), are the most worn ; they are relieved with rich fancy gymp trim mings of green or blue. Venetian silks are also a favourite material ; the frillings with which they are trimmed being cut, and gradually separating from the waist to the edge of the skirt. EVENING DRESSES are composed of gauze lisse, pink or blue, and trimmed with Pompadour fringes placed at the edge of the flounces ; also those made of the tissu diaphane, decorated with two broad lace flounces ; the corsage a la grecque, without the epaulettes ; the short sleeves being cut in such a form as to take the place of them ; the flounces are caught up, or raised on each side, with broad satin ribbon ascending up each side, and meeting at the waist, the lower end being confined by a tuft of roses. ANTOINETTE.—This is another novelty for out-door costume, and is made of silk of a French blue colour, forming a pelerine-rotonde at the back, and a scarf in the front; the two ends are rather short, square, and caught in three folds upon each side of the waist; it is encircled with a broad lace, and the ends may b e crosse d op-left liberty allowing- grateful contour of the - - shapeiierag visible. FAILLE A. LA DUCHESSE.—This truly elegant fancy straw is generally lined with pink, and ornamented with a bouquet or bunch of shaded coloured down feathers; ribbons of the vert-saule colour aro also much in use for the trimming of these kind of bonnets, with a bou quet of reine-Marguerites at the side. Capotes are now entirely composed of crepe, and covered with f u ll e d t u ll e, decorated with choux of' tulle and ribbon; or in lace of a light transparent texture, trimmed with a branch of leaves or roses; whilst others are made of Italian silk, in every description of colour. CAPS.—A very stylish and pretty little cap are those made of Royal Mechlin lace, the sides of which are or namented with a touffe formed of tulle ruche, put on straight, and having betwixt the plaiting small Queen's daisies, called the des reines Marguerites, so fixed as not to show any 'stem, and without foliage. For a morning cap, they are principally trimmed with broad Royal Mechlin lace, and rather dark coloured gauze ribbons ; the form petit and round, the lace being put on nearly plain at the ears. DES 817EDOISES.—This description of pardessus is in tended to be worn over very thin dresses, in order to guard against the cool evening breeze s , so frequent a f ter such very hot day s , more especially felt in the country, or sea-side places ;in form they do not reach below the waist, and are made of some very thick material, such as taffetas veloute, the damas Chine, or brocatelle ; the sleeves, which are deenilongues are trimmed with black lace, and a broad black lace encircles the waist, falling over the light coloured skirt. SURTOUTS.—These are now principally composed of embroidered muslin, lined with pink or sky-blue silk, high in the back, and open in the front, and a pelerine, which forms facings to the front; rounded basques, trim med with lace; the sleeves large at the lower part, and raised with bows of ribbon. LE CHALE-ECHARPE.—This light and elegant style of drapery is made of a light material, such as tulle, and lined with silk; it is made very long, and round at the back, closing a pans upon the front, and encircled with two rows of lace and embroidered inlet. FASHIONABLE COLOURS for the present month are still of a light hue, both for morning and afternoon cos tume. For the former, we see the ecrue, Nankin, re lieved with patterns in red, green, or lilac; different shades of green, lilac, blue, and rose colour, are also greatly in favour for afternoon toilette; white predomi nating for evening dress.— 1 orld of Fashion. THE PRESENT HOT WEATTIER.—The most agreeable relief during this hot weather, is the use of Ross and Sons Esprit de Lavande, as it is not only the most durable of per fumes, but the most reviving and refreshing. It is made from the finest lavender water, perfected with extracts from the choicest flowers, woods and Oriental gums, and smells, if • possible, more pleasant as it dries on the handkerchief, than when first applied. It has taken the sole proprietors 20 years to bring it to its p r esW.AokP.qtasrk7ti - theni'liftne south of Erance, and which are four times the strength and flavour of any to be obtained in Paris. THE MAYOR OF BORDEAUX.—Those who have taken any interest in the progress of the free-trade move ment in Prance will know that that country does not possess a more earnest and thorough free-trader than the present Mayor of Bordeaux, M. Dutibur. Dubergier. This gentleman, being in England, has been attracted to Manchester by the present triumphant position of the principles of commercial freedom ; and yesterday he spent some time in the offices of the Anti-Corn-law League, where he had interviews with iLßieaeseveralsnglily,e Ashworth, amongst h o t e n h g e si principal:re otherssidc e. n;wtaitnoi m dif br m t3r e3e, Cobden,rirrshc. The Mayor da t b:e b ei nro e rr r. andJ.ooffß council3l.3aon Manchester c ot oinislr t tc pi i:: was introduced to his worship. and the Mayor of Bordeaux were mutually introduced, and the latter expressed the gratification he derived from a visit to Manchester at so auspicious a moment. M. Duffour, we believe, was educated in England, and speaks English with considerable fluency. We see by the London papers, that amongst 14 gentlemen named as intended to be promoted to the dignity of Peers of France on the Gth July there are two Mayors—those of Bordeaux and Lisle ; and by those who are qualified to judge, it is said that the elevation of M. Duffour to the Upper Chamber of France will give great satisfaction to his fellow-citizens, and to the friends of free trade throughout France.—Manchester Guardian. MR. COBDEN.—Mr. Cobden will not engage in any public business whatever for the next twelve months or more. He remained in London to vote on the Corn Bill, though advised, for the sake of his own health, by his per sonal friends, and the friends of the Corn Bill not to do so, and has now left London entirely for the present year. Writing to a gentleman in London from Manchester on the 28th of June, he says :—" I have left town for the session ; and for a year, at least, the claims of private duties, and the necessary attention to my health, will prevent my taking any part in public life." When it is borne in mind by those who know, and told to those who do not know, that Mr. Cobden has a very large printing establishment, which hae been created by himself; by his close per sonal attention to it ; and that it is a busi ness requiring close attention. more than most others in existence, it regulating, and being regulated by, the fashions of the day—the female fashions—it being an embodiment of the most complex elements in chemistry and mechanics ever producing something new, ever in need of new designs, always exploring in unknown nature for new discoveries—when it is borne in mind, that the industrial genius and personal superintendence of Mr. Cobden have advanced his establishment to its present magnitude, it may be easily perceived that the time he has devoted to the public service has keen a greater sacrifice than any other public man has made.

A WOMAN KILLED BY HER lIUSBAND, AT HER OWN REQuEsT.—The following curious case of murder occurred lately in a small village in Wurtemberg :—Adam Gayring, shepherd, a man sixty-four years of age, of honest and up right dealings, loved and respected by all who knew him, presented himself on the Bth instant, before the authorities at Heidenheim, and stated calmly that he had just killed his wife. his declaration was immediately taken, as fol lows :—" My wife," he said, " as every one knows, has been suffering for a long time from illness, and at times the pains she had to endure were such as to affect her reason; she latterly gave up all hopes of recovery, and continually repeated, that not only was hfe a torment to her, but that she feared that if I died before her, she would be reduced to misery. This morning, after we had read together the 4th chapter of the Book of Judges (they were devout people and read the Bible every day), she requested me to drive a nail into her temple, as Jael did to Sisera, as such. a death seemed to her short and easy, and would put an end to her sufferings; she said she forgave me beforehand for the act, of which she absolved me before God and man. A nail she said would not cause a great hemorrhage, and would make but a slight wound. As soon as lam dead,' she added, you can close the wound, put me on a clean cap, and no one will know anything at all about it.' After long resistance (continued Gayring) I gave way to the wishes of my wife. I tock a nail and began to drive it into her left temple with a hammer, but the nail was too weak, and the point, instead of entering, flattened itself on the bone. I then took a small drill, but was equally unsuccess ful. My wife grew impatient, end requested me to kill her at once with the hammer, which I did accordingly, by knocking in the skull. The body of my wife is at my house, where you can examine it at your leisure."—The magistrate immediately proceeded to the house with a medical man, and Gayring under a strong guard. They found the body dressed upon the bed. On the left temple there were two wounds, and the right side of the skull was knocked in as low down as the temple. Beside the bed was a table on which was a bible, the nail, drill, and hammer alluded to. On the ground was a basin of water, in which the murderer, according to his own declaration, washed his hands before presenting himself to the authorities. Gayring is now in prison ; he is perfectly calm, and convinced that he acted well in fulfilling the wishes of his wife by putting an end to her sufferings. Some Wurtemberg papers state that the inhabitants of the village of Gussenstadt, where the mur der was committed, left their work as soon as they heard of the murder, and spent the day in the church, fasting .and praying for the soul of the deputed. LEONTINE. AN HISTORICAL NOVEL. BY MRS. MABERLY.—This is the very book wherewith to wile away a broiling midsummer's morning —smart, refreshing, and in teresting. The scene is laid for the most part in the gay palace and gardens of Versailles—Versailles in its most brilliant days; and the characters are the gilded butterflies which fluttered about in the dissolute Court of Louis le Bien ainze„ in the prime of his career. Court intrigues, indeed, is the staple material of the book, and the incidents and dia logue are precisely of that sparkling description which such a subject would require. Some of the touches of character, moreover, in which the work abounds, are marvellously' powerful and truthful.—Morning Chronicle. , Dispatches for the Governor of Canada were sent off yesterday evening, from the Colonial-office.
