Co RON ER's INQUEST.--Yesterday afternoon an Inquisition was taken on the body of Mary Collins, who was run over on Saturday by a cabriolet, near James street, Haymarket. Verdict—" Accidental Death." On the Continent, particularly in Italy, the dials of the public clocks are generally twice the site of our's, and the time is consequently ascertained from a pro portionally greater distance. On Sunday last, about nine o'clock in the morning, a considerable sensation of alarm was created in the town of Leicester, and particularly in the neighbour hood of the connty-gaol, a handsome new edifice, situated , in the Welford-road. In consequence of the violent ring ing of the alarm-bell attached to that prison, a number of individuals flocked to the spot to learn the cause of the unusual disturbance, when the gates were instantly opened, and the persons surrounding the front of the prison ad mitted, when it appeared that eleven prisoners, confined on capital charges, had made a most desperate effort to obtain their liberty. The following are the circumstances under which this bold attempt was made :—Mr. Musson, the son of the Governor of the prison, a few minutes before nine, accompanied by the turnkey, repaired to the yard its which the prisoners are confined on capital charges, accord ing to weekly custom, for the purpose of distributing to the felons a change of linen. They had no sooner entered within the door of the yard, than the prisoners immediately seized them, and violently wrested the keys of the various yards and apartments from the turnkey, who, in making a resistance, received a severe contusion from a blow inflicted by one of the felons With the ponderous bunch of keys. The prisoners then contrived to keep Mr. Musson and the turnkey secured until the whole party passed through into the large yard ; they then closed the door upon them, which fastens with spring locks, opening only on the outside. On reaching the large yard, the Mono proceeded to unlock the doors, of the apartments in which other prisoners were confined, whom they invited to join them in their attempt to escape. These prisoners, how ever, refused to have any thing to do with the affair. The refractory felons were about then to proceed towards the principal gate, but the turnkey having discovered what was going forward, commenced ringing the alarm-bell, which in - a very short period summoned a considerable number of individuals to the prison, who succeeded in retaking the keys. The apartments appropriated to the prisoners con fined for debt were instantly opened, and the debtors re leased into the yard, who, together with the assistance of Mr. Musson, sen., the governor of the gaol, who had not risen when the occurrence commenced, and other indivi duals, overpowered the felons without bloodshed, and lodged them in separate cells. It appears thetsame - of the most desperate characters composed the - key: tHey are principally committed for highway robbery, house. break ing, horse and sheep-stealing,—two of them are brothers, named Varnham, who are charged with horse-stealing. !rtf, _ __ _ . - - L. 1. - . • ___ _ - - - ______ , . , ....-- 4____. :'-ll;:"-l-l- i i... - . .. . • • - ,• :: - .. - :. - quid 1 -. 71 •:„._ ----- . .

MARKET INTELLIGENCE. LONDON MARKETS. . (From the London Nue Price Current of Tuesday.) SUGAR.--The transactions in Muscovades last week were rather extensive for the season of the year; the purchases were by the Grocers and Re finers, who appear to be again out of stock; they purchased only for their immediate wants, and as it was ascertained the Market would be closed all this week, on account of the holydays, the purchases in crew:a from 2,200 to 2,3oOhlids. and trs.; the prices were without the slightest alteration. The stock of Sugar is 923 hhds. and trs. more than last year; the deliveries from the warehouse 2,552 hhds. and trs., being nearly the same as during the corresponding week of 1827. Two show-rooms were opened for the sale of Sugars this morning, but the Market ap peared to be deserted by the buyers. At the close of the day no sales were reported. In the Refined Market last week the purchases were more consi-1 derable than for some weeks past ; the purchases were chiefly by the Grocers, they took a sufficient quantity for their trade till after the holyday week. The low Goods were taken off in small parcels by the shippers. Bastards were in more demand. Molasses were dull. The Refined Market is more firm, but the purchases are still inconsiderable; there are more inquiries for Molasses. EAST INDIA SUGARS.—The purchases have been limited to small parcels bright yellow Mauritius. WEST INDIA MoLsssits.-»Pareela arc offered at lower prices, without facilitating sales.

Brandies continue to be taken off in small parcels for shipping. In Geneva no transac tions are reported. HEMP, FLAX, AND Tsnow.---Tallow last week was dull and declining, but the holders appear now to make a stand, and apparently the market is more firm. In Hemp or Flax there is no material alteration.

(From the Quebec Gazelle.) LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL CHAMBER. • Quebec, Nov. 21, 1828 This day, at two o'clock, his Excellency Sic James Kempt came down in state to the Legislative Council Chamber, and being seated on the Throne, the Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod was sent down to the House of Assembly to command - their attendance before his Excellency; and that House being come up, the Speaker of the Legislative Conn , cil said : ---- Gentlemen of the Assembly, I am commanded by his Excellency to inform you that he does not see fit to declare, the causes for which he has summoned this Provincial Parlia- mitt until there be a Speaker of the Assembly duly • , elected and approved. And lam further commanded , to inquire whether you have proceeded to the clec- , Lion of a Speaker; and if you have, upon whom your choice has-fallen. To which Mr. Papineau replied: — May it please your Excellency, In obedience to his Majesty's commands, • the , House of Assembly has proceeded to the election • of a Speaker, and I am the person upon whom their choice has fallen. I respectfully pray that it may • please your Excellency to give your approhation to their choice. Upon which the Speaker of the Legislative Coun cil said— Mr. Papineau, • I am commanded by his Excellency .to acquaint you that he approves. the choice which the Assem bly has made of you to be- their Speaker, and, re lying upon your loyalty, talents, and discretion, he Both allow and confirm your election. Mr. Papineau then made the usual claim to the privileges of the Assembly, to which his Excel lency's assent was given in the accustomed form. His Excellency was then pleased to open t'le Session with the follpwing speech :- 1 Gentlemen of the Legislative Council,—Gen tlemen of the House of Assembly, His Majesty having been most graciously pleased to confide to me the Government of this important Colony, it affords me great satisfaction to meet you. n Provincial Parliament. • Placed in a .ituation of so much importance, at a period of peculiar difficulty, I cannot but feel that very arduous duties are imposed upon me : duties, indeed, which I should despair of being able to dis charge to the satisfaction of his Majesty, and his faithful and loyal subjects the inhabitants of this province, if I did not look forward, with a sanguine hope, to the enjoyment of your confidence, and your cordial co-operation in my administration of the Go vernment. Without a good understanding between the diffe rent branches of the Legislature, the, public affairs of the Colony cannot prosper; the evils which are now experienced cannot be effectually cured ; the prosperity and welfare of his Majesty's Caoadian subjects cannot be promoted ; and you may there fore, believe that no exertions will be spared on my part to promote conciliation by meas ur es in which the undoubted prerogatives of the Crown and your Constitutional privileges will be equally respected. His Majesty's Government has, however, relieved me from the responsibility attendant upon the mea sures to be adopted for the adjustment of the finan cial difficulties that have unfortunately occurred ; and I shall.take an early opportunity of conveying to:you, by message, a communication ftom his Majesty, which I have been especially, commanded to make to you upon the subject of the appropriation of the Provincial Revenue • _ It will be my duty to lay at the same time before you the views of his Majesty's Government upon other topics connected with the Government of this province, to which the attention of the Ministers of the Crown has been called: You will see in them proofs of the earnest desire of his Majesty's Go vernment to provide, as far as may be practicable, an effectual remedy for any case of real grievance; and you may rely on my affording you every assist ance towards the elucidation of any questions which may arise for discussion in the course of your pro ceedings. Gentlemen of the House of Assembly, I shall direct the Accounts of the Provincial Re venue and Expenditure for the last two years to be laid before you as soon as possible, with every ex planation respecting them which it is in my power to afford you. Gentlemen of the Legislative Council,—Gentle men of the House of Assembly, Relying on your zeal and diligence in the discharge of your Legislative duties, I fed persuaded that you will give your immediate attention to the renewal of such useful Acts as may have recently expired ; and, indeed, to all matters of public interest that may appear to he of pressing necessity and importance. Possessing, as yet, but an imperfect knowledge of the great interests of the province, and the wants of its inhabitants, I refrain, at the present time, from recommending to you measures of public improve ment, whi c h i t w ill be my duty to bring under your consideration at a future day, In all countr;es, how ever, good roads and other internal communications ; a general system of education, established upon sound principles; and a well organised efficient Mi litia force, are found to be so conducive to the pro sperity, the happiness, and the security of their in habitants, that I may be permitted to mention them, at present, as objects of prominent utility. But an oblivion of all past jealousies and di6sen sions is the first great step towards improvement of any kind ; and, tvlien that is .happily accomplished, and the undivided attention of the Executive Go vernment and the Legislature shall be given to the advancement of the general interests of the pro vince, in a spirit of cordial co-operation, there is no reason to doubt that Lower Canada will rapidly ad vance in prosperity ; and emulate, ere long, the most opulent and flourishing portions of the North Ame rican continent. day was published, 2 vols.
