In the destruc tion of that kingdom the descendants of an heroic race have been dispersed over the world as aliens and out casts. Warsaw has been desolated by a political visitation as complete, if not as deplorable, as the reli gious visitation which desolated Jerusalem. By insidious encroachments, by piecemeal annexation, by secret spoliation, and by open fraud, one of the most chivalrous, venerable, and illustrious governments of Europe has been annihilated. At the commencement of its troubles its spoilers were its friends, at the ter mination of those troubles its destroyers were its protectors ! By the annexation of Cracow to Austria the last vestige of Poland has disappeared—but may not that vestige be revived ? Is the dismembered kingdom permanently dissipated ? May not a tardy, but terrible vengeance be wreaked upon the sharers of that spoil ? May not the cause of the dispersed and abused people be vindicated by the outraged spirit of civilisation ? May not the nations who have ac quired for themselves the blessings of liberal institutions, and political liberty may not th e free nations of the west abase those despots of the east who have obtained an infamous celebrity by their predatory incur sions upon their neighbours ? Filled with sym. pathy for a brave and unfortunate race, the popula tion of England and France are aroused to indigna tion against the Northern Powers; the population of those two countries are regarding with jealous eyes the proceedings of their Ministers in regard to the recent atrocity perpetrated in Galicia. Anything like connivance at the villanics of Austria, Russia, and Prussia would not be permitted by the multitude, if it were attempted. But such will not be attempted ; it cannot be attempted. This generation would never sanction any such infamous movement which could thus render our Governments accomplices after the fact. The days of Ministerial hoodwinking and political chicanery are past, as far at least as the population of England is concerned. Sunday last, being the anniversary of the Palish revolution of 1830, was commemorated by the refu gees in London with an enthusiasm most in ac cordance with their present interesting position. Driven from their native land by adverse circum stances, and sojourning in a remote island, the in telligence of the final subversionb of the . Republican Government of Cracow a th , fallen upon them like a thunder -clap ; hut while with mournful intelligesee has oppressed their hearts The Alameantaltantai indefinableeonfi.lll esciortrhoessi'r, it has simultaneously renewe'd their de inborn patriotism. parted countrymen resound in theiroenasrs off the dis tance of bygone days and the depths of their graves. It is impossible, no doubt, for the dissevered remnants remnants of this population to re -assert their own independence, to reclaim their own hearths, to re establish their own principality. They look to the • • • „ , - • 41 0...• 14 4 • • _ ITHE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY MORNING; DECEMBEttr2, 1846: liberated kingdoms of Europe, they look to the honour and the magnanimity of flourishing nations, they look to those Governments which are based upon the adamant of freedom and enlightenment. From these they expect the vindication pf their un merited woes. Upon the movements and intentions of the Ad ministrations of London and Paris there are a thou sand conjectures, but few that are entitled to a mo ment's consideration. The Cracow annexation has actually jeopardised the very existence of the Guizot Ministry. Rumours innumerable are floating about the vicinity of the Tuileries, and it is now tolerably certain that the proposed successor of M. GUIZOT is the statesman whose eva cuation of Ancona has rendered his name somewhat unpopular amongst his warlike country men. We allude of course to Count MAE. There is unquestionably much sagacity in that insinuation of the Courrier Francais, that M. TmiEßs, amidst all these official arrangements, is merely " lurking be hind the scenes, waiting to mount upon the stage" im mediately there is any favourable opportunity. There is a preposterous corollary, however, t' these reports in relation to the protest said to have been forwarded to Lord PONSONDY, at Vienna, by her MAJEsTy's Minister for Foreign Affdirs. The explanaion given in the Parisian press of the character and tone of this supposititious document is manifestly inconsistet t and improbable ; and is not assuredly the EngliSh remonstrance at the atrocious convention of the Gth of November. Of that convention the only apology pub ' fished under the auspices of the Northern patricide is the article inserted in the Austrian Observer of the 20th ultimo—an article founded upon the doctrines of despotism, feudalism, ignorance, depravity, and expe diency. It is only by snapping their fingers at all moral and Divine law that the Austrian and Rut sian Emperors can maintain the advisability of such proceedings as the incorporation of Cracow with the territories of the Kaiser FERDINAND. It is only by deriding all the holiest laws of nature and revelation that they can have the audacity to insist upon the justice of their behaviour. Let the spoilers of Eastern Europe hearken to the cry of the banished countrymen of SOBIESKY, let them listen to the voice of those whose souls are ani mated with the great memory of KosclusKo. It proclaims : "You have seen Poland protest in arms on a hundred fields of battle—you will see it again ; she prepares her self for fresh struggles, and this list attack on her, by causing her efforts to be redoubled, will hasten her de liverance. "The treaty of Vh•m,a no longer remains to Europe ; that part of spoliation, which was never bindinr , ou Poland has been destroyed, by its very authors. In its place will arise a more powerful alliance of people, which nothing will rend asunder." Those threats may appear impossible of accom plishment to the monarchs of Russia, Prussia, and Austria at this moment, but a persistance in their foregoing atrocities will ultimately render such threats no longer contemptible. The Northern Powers must be warned by the reflection that the laws of GOD and man cannot be scorned for ever with impunity. What is to be done with Ireland ? The question has been repeated for years. No matter how great is the sum of legislation for Ireland comprised within even the last quarter of a century—no matter how large the boon, be it essentially political, social, or purely pecuniary, for which the Irish have thundered, and not in vain, at the doors of the United Parlia inent,—no matter how intensely successive Cabinets, whether swayed by the genius of a CANNING, GREY, MELBOURNE, PEEL, or Itu3sELL, have devoted their energies to the political redemption of the sister isle—no matter how much of the time of each session has been given up, and in an increased ratio, with the view of mastering her difficulties,—every year the cry seems to become louder, and the question to be more emphatically put, of what is to be done with Ireland? As yet all would appear to have been in vain. A variety of treatment has, in turn been resorted to, but always with an illusory result; The coercive and the lenitive system, the rigorous and the ameliorative, has been, as it were, by fits and starts, adopted, and yet, with all our endeavours to lay the foundations of peace and prosperity, we appear to have been only grasping at shadows. of the distracted condition of Ireland, and of the perplexity of attempting to improve it, it would be found in the discordant views which the Irish them-. selves take of the state of their country, and in the nature of the suggestions, for the most part crude= wild, and efficient, which are propounded on all sides for its improvement. It is a medical rule, that when a man is sick, he should never prescribe for him self. Yet, in Ireland, where the body politic is so deeply affected, and different parties are severally willing to quack themselves with some 1 peculiar nostrum, the notion is entertained by a large body of the inhabitants that, with a domestic legis lature, all their ailments would cease; that if they had only the power of swallowing every political dose as rapidly as it could be compounded, Ireland would be completely revivified. It is well for Ireland that she has Great Britain to advise and control her in her hours of affliction and disquietude. The intelligence from the other side of St. George's Channel is by no means inspiriting. Severe destitu tion continues to prevail, particularly to the south ward and westward, and the impositions that have been practised upon the relief committees, by whom persons have been employed on public works, whose circumstances are not sufficiently distressed to entitle them to relief, to the exclusion and prejudice of others whose want is excessive, have in many parts spread a a spirit of dissatisfaction and disaffection which must be promptly allayed. This, we have no doubt, will be quickly accomplished, as every devisable means is being followed up with alacrity for expelling these cunning and heartless intruders upon the benevolent resources of the public. There is nothing, however, we regard with so much of apprehension as to their probable consequences unless immediately and authoritatively discounter nanced, than the recent:proceedings of the gentry in the county of Clare. The board of guardians for the union of Kilrush have passed resolutions, and addressed a memorial to the Prime Minister, reco;n mendatory of a wholesale scheme of emigra tion, as the best method of relieving Ireland from its cumulative destitution. They suggest that the present remedies of the Government are utterly inadequate to meet the calamities of the country, and therefore jump to the conclusion that thousands must be shipped off from their father. land 'to cultivate large unreclaimed tracts of our colonies. It may be true, and we have been of those who have indicated the necessity, that—to use the words of the memorial—" some more effective and permanent measures" are required to get rid of the universal pauperism, with its concomitant evils, of Ireland. But, " the more haste the worst speed," and notwithstanding the memorialists allege they have o minutely i nves ti ga t e d" th e s t a t e o f th e i r e l ec t ora l divisions, which has led them to " hasten to lay their deep conviction before the Executive, and not to hesitate to suggest an extensive system of emigration by families," we dislike the precipitateness w ith which they have arrived at their conclusions, and unreservedly impugn the soundness of their judg ment. What ! are the landed proprietors to turn round upon a hardy race of peasantry, and, addressing them like so many cattle or bestial droves, to exclaim, " There are too many of you here; be off to the nearest ports ; ships are there lying in readiness to transport you to other climes. Food and labour may or will be within your reach on strange shores, but, believe us, that at home, the land of your birthright, and that of your forefathers, you look for these primitive blessings in vain." We warn the landed gentry of Ireland against counte nancing for a moment any such project, one so re volting to the social feelings of any population, and particularly to so excitable an one as the Irish. Once let their language and councils take this direction, and the torch of rebellion will he lighted up from one end of Ireland to the other. Such a storm would arise as would not ,be easily hushed. To propose to embark thousands to reclaim the earth of strangers, whilst millions of waste acres surround their own homesteads, is an idea the madness of which lies palpably on the surface. Again, the expense attendant upon it would be infinitely greater than what could be incurred by inviting the industrious and willing poor to drive the plough through their own native soil. Emigration, as one of a series of remedial measures, and when conducted upon a scale of liberality and benevolence, might undoubtedly present attractive advantages ; but, to suggest it, at a moment like this, and in an isolated shape, when the people are on the brink of famine, is one of the most dangerous propositions that could be started. And this we press upon the attention of the landed proprietary, that if they are favourable, as they profess, and we believe them to be, to the maintenance of the Union, they could do nothing more calculated to strengthen the repeal of it, than by yielding their consent to wholesale emigration. We adjure " the constituted guardians of the poor" in Clare and other counties to be wise in time. Madrid papers of the 23d have been received. The Her aldo admits that a Carlist band has ap peared in the neighbourhood of Gerona, but professes to entertain no apprehension of any serious conse quences. There was some excitement on the subject of the approaching Madrid elections. Senor MON, the Finance Minister, who represents one of the dis tricts of Madrid, will be opposed by a formidable competitor, viz., Senor SALAMANCA, the rich banker. Matsui]) BOLSA, Nov. 23.—The Funds continued stationary. The Three per Cents. were done at 34 ; the Four per Cents., at 201 ; the Five per Cents., at 214; the Coupons, at 191 ; and the Debt without Interest, We have received the Paris papers of Sunday. The Journal des Debuts publishes a letter from London, dated the 27th of November, which gives the following as the substance of Lord PALNIER• STON'S protest against the annexation of Cracow : " Lord Palmerston yesterday dispatched to Lord Ponaonby, the English Ambassador at Vienna, the pro test for some days past talked of, against the coup d'ictet with which the city of Cracow has been visited. In this long document, which is drawn up in dry and cold terms, Lord Palmerston argues on the supposition that the usurpation of Cracow is, as yet, but a project, and strives to point oat the inconvcniens of such a measure. Ile next discusses the two questions of right and neces sity. As regards the question of right, he urges, ap pealing to the text of the treaties, that the stipulations agreed to in a solemn engagement by eight Powers cannot be modified and annulled by three of them. As regards the question of necessity, Lord Palmerston does not admit the resolution which northern courts seem willing to adept. That three of the most powerful States of Europe should invoke necessity to destroy the existence of a poor little republic, the population of which rtckons not 130,000 souls, is inad missible. The Powers also complain of Cracow having become a focus of conspiracies and political intrigues; but, admitting the reality of the allegation, two supposi tions present themselves—either those conT;raton are people belonging to the country, or they have come from other parts. In the second case, it is not Cracow, bu' the Powers themselves who are to be blamed, inasmuch as their territories surround on all sides that of the repub:ie. In the first case, is it possible to believe that such a city as Cracow would refuse, on the demand of three such Powers as Prussia, Austria, and Russia, to check the conspiracies, and put an end to the intrigues of which those Powers would then have such just reason to complain; and, if it committed the fully of not com plying, what difficulty could ever be encountered by the three Powers thus reduced, to take justice into their own hands within the limits of the treaties? " Such, it is said, is pretty nearly the protest of the English Minister for Foreign Affsirs. A copy of this document has teen also dispatched to Lord Normauby, in order that it be communicated to M. Guizot." It would appear, from an article in the Courtier F.rancais, that the Ministerial crisis is over, and that M. GUIZOT remains in office. According to the Courrier the choice was only between M. GUIZOT and Count MOLE, between whom there is scarcely any perceptible difference : " By his concessions and pusillanimity, M. Guirit has encouraged the Absolutist Powers to consummate the most revolting iniquity. And who is designed as a suc cessor, when the France of July shudders with impa • tience and indignation, and burns with revenge ? Count M&e !—the man who evacuated Ancona ; the man, who, at our very gates, allowed a portion of the territory of Belgium to be mutilated ;—the man, finally, whom M. Guizot himself, during the storms of the coalition, ac cused from the tribune, and with justice, of having suf fered the dignity of the country to be degraded on all the points of Europe, where international questions were agitated. M. Guizot or M. Mole ! The 15th of April or the 29th of October ! Behold the alternative held out to France, when she is insulted and defied beycnd her frontiers, and when to punish such insolence she would require all her energy and patriotism." If the following, which is the conclusion of the same article, is to be believed, M. GUIZOT'S threats last week against the Northern Powers were mere words "full of sound and fury, signifying nothing":— " M. Guizot keeps his portfolio, and, as it is no more contemplated—we do not say to act against the Northern J. u werx, oae tion, we may now appreciate the value of those trans. ports of rage of which the Ministerial journals offered to us the spectacle during some days. It was on the 6th of November that the Powers signed their monstrous convention ; and, although twenty-three days have since elapsed, France hag not yet even expressed her displea sure. Our rulers await, or rather pretend to await, that England come to a resolution, as if, in such a question, France was not bound to assume the initiative ! As if England, in spite of herself, will not be compelled to follow the example set to her by France !" M. GUIZOT has, it is said, protested, but it is tole rably certain that he will do no more. A protest against the annexation of Cracow, from the Central Polish Committee of Paris, signed by Count DE LASTEYRIE, the President, and by M. VAYIN, the Secretary, a Member of the Chamber of Deputies is published in the Courrier Francais of Sunday. Provision riots are taking place in the French pro vinces; the distress consequent on the scarcity of food is becoming general, and in many of the de partments is driving the people to desperation. At Chateaurenault and at Azay le Rideau, a mob of 600 persons took forcible possession of the market-place, notwithstanding the presence of a brigade of gen darmerie, and forced the farmers to sell their corn at two francs a bushel, and in many cases carried it a without paying for it at all. They also took possession of the grain stores, and sold all the wheat they contained. The Reforme states that there has been a rise dur ing the last week in the price of wheat, in the corn markets of Bergerac, Montlucon, Treguier, Luneville, Bayeux, and Charmes, averaging 50 centimes the hectolitre; whilst there has teen a fall in the corn markets of Louviers, Lille, Vic-sur-Ainse, Coulom• miers, averaging If. the hectolitre. The Three per Cents. were done in the Passage de l'Opdra, on Sunday, at 82f. sc. BUSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT THE LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE, NOVEMBER 30.

ELIZA COOK.—We observe with pleasure the an nouncement of the intention of the proprietors of the Weekly Dispatch newspaper to present their sub scribers with a likeness of this distinguished poetess. Those who have lingered over the beauties of " Melaia," who have laughed at the exuberant sprightliness of her satirical pieces, and who have been moved to tears by her tender and pathetic ballads, will welcome so suitable a memento of this eminent songstress. And they will welcome it none the less because it is copied from a portrait which is acknowledged to be absolutely marvellous for its vraisemblance, representing not merely the moulding of her poetic head and features, but the indefinable expression of intelligence and gentleness by which the latter are illumined. The popularity of the writings of Miss ELIZA COOK—a popularity which is diffused among the million both in the cities and the homesteads—is attributable to no adventitious aid, it is owing to no spurious ebullition of feeling, it has originated alone in the merits of those charm ing compositions. They have won their own way, and they have acquired so much celebrity because their authoress does not content herself with penning glib rhythm and melodious rhyme; she does more— she writes from the dictates of a warm and over flowing heart. Those who have read her lighter productions know that she can evoke our laughter. Those who have read the " Old Arm Chair"—and who has not ?—know that, when she lists, she can make us weep. With the true alchemy of a poet, she invests even the meanest thing with a golden and enduring beauty. It is an appropriate and graceful act on the part of the proprietors of the Weekly Dispatch—an act equally appropriate and graceful to their subscribers and contributor—to issue the por trait of a lady who has so frequently adorned their column:, by her genius. TOBACCO AND SNUFF.—By a recently :issued Parliamentary return it appears that there are as many as 202,051 licensed dealers in tobacco and snuff in the United Kingdom. In England there are 170,048; II Ireland, 16,601; and in Scotland, 15,402. From an ex amination of the paper it seems that there are 12,938 dealers in London, and that the number within test miles of the Excise Office is 23,807. AMERICAN NEWS. FIFTEEN DAYS LATER. ARRIVAL OF THE BRITANNIA. (IROM OUR CORRESP3NDENT.) LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY. The Royal Mail steam-ship Britannia, Captain Hewett arrived here from Boston and Halifax, after a passage if 144 days, with news to the 18th ult. She had 28 pas sengers. The Acadia arrived at Halifax on the 15th, after a passage of 11 days. The news by this arrival is not important, and may be briefly summed up as follows : The taking of the Government loan of $5,000,000, for the prosecution of the war with Mexico, and the elections which have taken place in several of the States, are the leading events of importance which have occurred since the departure of the steamer of the Ist. The intelligence of the capture of Monterey has already been announced, and no further movement has since been made by the army. It is understood that additional dispatches from General Taylor, to those published, have been received at Wash ington, but they have not yet been published. A list, howevi r, of the killed and wounded during the three days' engagement, which resulted in the surrender of the town, has found its way to the public, from which it appears that the aggregate American loss on that occa sion was 493, of whom 124 were killed. An immense amount of ammunition, arms, &c., was surrendered by the Mexican General. The most recent intelligence from General Taylor ren ders it nearly certain that he will not immediately ad vance any farther, though it is probably the intention of the Government that he should take possession of Saltillo and perhaps of San Luis Potosi. If he can hold either or both of these points, be will doubtless do so ; but the general belief now is, that his march towards the city of Mexico will end there. Our advices from Vera Cruz are to the 7th of October. The news of the surrender of Monterey had reached Mexico, where it created a good deal of excitement. No thing like discouragement, however, was manifested by either the people or the Government. On all sides there was still nn apparent enthusiasm in defence of the country, and a demand for renewed exertions to prose cute the war. It is not easy to see, however, in what way tLis determination is to be carried into effect, for all the exertions of the Government ti raise money had proved ineffectual, and Santa Anna had left the capital for the frontier, at the head of only 2,000 cavalry and 1,000 infantry, with a military chest sof 27,000 dollars. The people seem in truth insensible to any reverses, which do not reach their immediate homes; and the loss of Monterey is regarded with an indiff-reuce which betrays the stolid and unintelligent character of the im pulses and feelings by which they are governed. It is supposed that the Mexicans wili make a stand at Saltillo, and, if driven thence, fortify San Luis Potosi against the American force. It is supposed that, while the attention of the Mexi cans is thus fixed upon their north-eastern frontier, en attempt will be made upon them from another quarter. An attack has been ordered upon Tampico, which is 400 miles south of Matamoras and 200 east of San Luis Potosi. If this place be taken and San Luis also, sup plies may easily be introduced into Mexico proper, should the army march thither. Another attack, it is said, was to have been made on Alvarado on the 11th, by the squadron. The Tennessee and Kentucky cavalry have been ordered to proceed to Matamoras, and thence to Tampico ; whence they are to march to Vera Cruz. to aid in a contemplated attack upon that city. This is the programme of future operations in that quarter,fic .:urding to the most reliable accounts. An impression however, has been gaining ground of late, that nothing, further will be done towards an active prosecution of the war until the meeting of Congress in December : and that the whole matter will then be submitted to that body. On the Western frontier meantime, Gen. Kearney is marching from Santa Fe to California, while Gen. Wool, with fire thousand men, is proceed ing west to Chihuahua, which is five hundred miles north of Monterey. Their combined forces will easily hold all the commanding positions north of the Gulf of California. Col. Mason, of the Ist Regiment of Dragoons, has been sent to Monterey, on the Pacific coast, to supersede Col. Stevenson in the command of the California regiment of volunteers, which recently sailed from th':s city. Elections have been held, within the last fortnight, in the States of New York, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Michigan, lowa, and Delaware. In New New York the Whigs have achieved a signal triumph, having elected 23 Whigs out of the 34 to which the State is entitled. No further election for members of Congress is to take place until March, and the complexion of the next Con gress, which commences its session on the 4th of March next, is now to some extent understood. The Senate will contain 21 Whigs and 35 Loco Fecos, two members being doubtful. In the House, 74 Whigs and 50 Loco Focos have already been chosen ; last year the same States were represented by 49 Whigs and 76 Loco Feces. If the remaining members be of the same politics as their predecessors, the Loco Foes majority will be 20; though it is supposed there will be additional changes. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. (From The Sun of last Night.) The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was firm, and in some instances higher. Sales 10,000 bales, 7,000 being American at sd. to 6.11 per lb., and 1,000 Surat at 3ird. to 4id. per lb. Speculators took 1,500 bales American, 900 Egyptian, and 600 Surat. The market closed firmly. American and Surat were id. per lb. higher. Brazil and Egyptian commanded fuller prices. Shares were well supported, and there was an improve ment in North Stafford, Shrewsbury, and Birmingham, and one or two other lines. The sale of railway shares, yesterday, at Messrs. Lamond and Co.'s, went off with spirit, and the better descriptions of registered shares sold freely at full quota ions. The following are a few of the principal sales : London and Manchester (Remington's).. £0 9 0 Madrid and Valencia.

The force under Colonel Somerset continued to gain advantages over the Kefirs, in detached bodies, and had recaptured cattle in various directions, so as to be enabled to furnish the Governor's camp with a good number in exchange for biscuit and other necessary stores. Still the troops were prevented by the difficulty of moving a sufficient quantity of supplies from advancing in a body, so as to present an extended front to the enemy. The weather being, however, much more favourable, and the grass again luxuriant, owing to the copious rains, there would soon be a better opportunity of acting vigorously. More of the chiefs were expected to sur render at discretion, as Stock had done, and several had mei° overtures, but the Governor was wisely resolved, since matters have proceeded to such extremities, to exact unconditional surrender. There have b en no accounts of a late date received from other parts to-day, and the non-arrival of' the Bri tannia, which, however, may possibly be in ere this article is in print, and in time for accounts to appear in another column of The S een. The Public Securities are very buoyant again this morning, and there is a good business doing. Consols are quoted at 95-4- 1 for present transfer, and 951 for time, being fully the advance of yesterday. Zhu-re is unquestionably a scarcity of stock, and if the Chancery broker continues his purchases, the pro• bability is that there will be a further improvement before the closing of the transfer books. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 94 to 96, and the Three per Cents. 934 to 94. Bank Stock is worth 206 to 207. East India Stock is t•teady, at 259. Exchequer-bills are again flat, and not higher than to 9s. premium. The Foreign Investments have been less dealt in, but are at full rases. In fact, as regards Spanish at least, it is considered essential perhaps that there should be some effort to buoy up the market, in order to inspire confi dence in the new committeee of bondholders, which hitherto has made a show of doing much, though without advancing one jot, as far as mart' conceive, the material interests of the creditors. Spanish Five per Cents. have been 26 and the Three per Cents. 3;1, being 4- to per cent. higher. Grenada Bonds have been at 20. Dutch Two and-a-Half per Cents. are 59k. Shares are animated. The old lines are better. ONL CLOSING PRICES OF BRITISH FUNDS. O'CLOCK. rnreEs. Bank Stock .207 206 206 3 per Cent. Reduced Anns 94 93 3 / 4 93 3 ;; 3 per Cent.

It appeared, according to the evidence of several witnesses, that the deceased had be e n landlord of the King's Head for some years past, but, in consequence of ill health, he had confided the manage ment of his business to Mr. John Davidson, his brother in-law. His complaint was an affection of the liver, and he frequently suffered such pain that he said he thought he could bear it no longer. His wife left him alone on Sunday afternoon, while she went to open the door, and on her return found him lying on the floor with his throat cut, and a knife, with which he had just been eating his dinner, lying stained with blood by his side. The surgeon said that the deceased had been out of his mind for some time past, probably from l ong cont i nue d suffering; but the brother-in-law attributed his state of mind to the circumstance that he was going to be turned out of his house without compensation, after having paid a very large sum for the go )d-will. Verdict—" Tem porary insanity." REMISSION OF RENTS.—It is understood that Lady Carbery, widow of the late Lord Carbery, in considera tion of the loss her tenants have sustained this year, intends to make no demand for rent on her extensive estates in this county. She has ever, it appears, inti mated her intention, should any sums be received, not to appropriate any portion to her personal use, but to reierve the amount in trust for purpons of benevolence. This distinguished act of generosity is said to be only in accordance with the conduct, invariably kind and humane, which has characterised this excellent lady in the management of her property.—Cork Examiner, HAI%IBURGH MAIL. ST. PETERSBITRGH,Nov. 19.—The Niva has been full of drift ice since the 15th, and the brid,,es have therefore h. ihe public safety of this capital has lately been con siderably interrupted by several murders, the first of these crimes was committed by a person who has hitherto contrived to elude the pursuit of justice. The victim was a young man cf the middle class. Imme diately after two victims of the lower orders were sacrificed by murderers, who were taken in the fact, to which they appear to have been induced by the desire of plunder. A report has been spread that the natives of the pro vince of Livonia, who had lately been converted to the Russian Greek Church from other Christian confessions might, if they repented this conversion, return to their former communion. The Governor, General Golonin, contradicting this report, has published a proclamation, in which he warns the individuals in question. against such a step, and threatens the seceders with all the severe punishments which the new penal code decrees against apostates and their seducers. STOCKHOVM, Nov. 20. Baron Von Manderstoom, Cabinet Secretary and Chamberlain, embarked on beard the Gauthoid steamer for Lubeck, on a special mission from his Majesty the King to the Russian Court, where he will r_.•2t our Crown Prince at Berlin. It is conjec tured, of course, that the mission is the betrothing of his Royal Highness to Princess Louisa of Prussia. VIDIMA, Nov. 19.—The assassin Reinell, who for his attempt to murder the Emperor, was sentenced to ' imprisonment in the celebrated fortress of m w u Hungary, died there a month ago . G e n n lk t u y acs y lA s DT, Nov. 22.—The Committee of Mer chants has summoned a meeting for Tuesday next, to deliberate on the establiAiment of a communication, by steam-boats, between this town and Hull. The commit tee, it is said, intend to effect this project by means of a joint stock company, but which, for the present, will not have a steamer of its own, but only raise a capital to hire a steam-boat, and in case the experiment should not succeed sufficient to make up the loss. THE TICKET SYSTEM. EXTENSIVE FORGERY. At the Lewes petty session, on Saturday last, two labourers, named Howell and Johnstone, were charged with having obtained a quantity of goods from Mr. Payne, an outfitter at Lewes, by means of forged railway tickets. The tickets were forgeries of those issued by Mr. Ayres, the deputy contractor of the Keymer branch of the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway. They were printed on little bits of paper, and were as follows:—" Deliver to bearer the sum of one shilling in goods.—Signed F. Ayres. Payable to Benjamin Flint only." It appeared from the evidence for the prosecution that the prisoners a few days ago went to the shop of the prosecutor and purchased a variety of articles, consisting chiefly of wearing apparel, for which they paid in rail. way tickets. On the following day another attempt was made to obtain more goods, but the forgeries in the meantime having been discovered, the prisoners were apprehended. On being charged by the officer who ap prehended them, the prisoners admitted having the articles, and asserted that they " cashed" the tickets for a person whom they did not know. Mr. Ayres, the contractor, stated that the tickets were forgeries, and that he never employed either of the prisoners. He said, in reply to the magistrates, that the name of Benjamin Flint on the ticket was the person from whom he received the money. Mr. Woollgar, one of the magistrates, said the bench were decidedly opposed to the ticket system; they thought it was bad from beginning to end, and the sooner it was put a stop to the better. Howell, one of the prisoners, said in his defence, that he had m e t several men, one f whom said he had been at work for Ayres, and as he wanted a pair of boots at Bridge's, where Ayres's tickets would not pasi, he wished to ( xchange them, and that he (Howell) gave him 20 s. of Wymark's for 225. of Ayres's, and that he also gave another man II for 33 more is. tickets. It also appeared in evidence that some hundreds of pounds of these tickets bad been forged, and that several other persons would be apprehended shortly. The prisoners were fully co mmitted for trial. F- MYSTERIOU SFriday eOREIGN BRICIES.—A parcel of 30,000 bricks has arrived by a vessel from Hamburgh, and another of 40,000, by the Catalina, from Antwerp, both cargoes being destined for re-exportation. Mr. Carter resumed, an ' concluded an adjourned inquiry from DEATH OF A LADY.--0n Monday Cold Harbour-lane, Camberwell, respecting the death of Mrs. Mary Summers, aged forty-eight years, lately last, at the Plough and harrow Tavern, re siding at No. 10, Holland-place, Denmark-street, Cam berwell. The deceased, who was highly connected, had been in the enjoyment of excellent health for several years. On Wednesday last she retired to her dressing room, and having remained for a considerable time some alarm was manifested by the other members of the fa mily, and after a few minutes search, one of the servants discovered the deceased lying on the floor by t he bed s i de , in an insensible state. A su rgeon was called in, who pronounced life to be extinct. In consequence of the sudden nature of the death, the coroner ordered Mr. Burridge, a surgeon, to make a post modern examination. The inquiry was adjourned until yesterday, to allow time for the surgeon to make an analysis of the contents of the stomach. On the re-assembling of the jury, Mr. Burridge and a chemical lecturer said, they were unable to detect anything of a deleterious nature, but death had clearly resulted from the rupture of a blood vessel on the brain. The coroner remarked on the case, after which the jury unanimously returned a verdict o f " Death from natural causes." g - ' COURT CIRCULAR.
