Last night, between ten and eleven o'clock, a 'desperate attempt at mttrder wee made by w man named James a lerither4iresser, residing in the tack attic of the house next Perry's (late Brook son's) chop-house, the Three Tuns, in Fetter-lane, upon his Wife, to whom he had been married abo u t seven years, and has a family of three children, the eldest of whom is about six yeare df age.. tt Ap• pears that tb..?: %Vitt:died itian had for some time entertained doubts of his wife's continency, which, Vve hear, were quite unfounded, :and this opinion became the cause of great rancour in the mind of the husband towards her, and tepeked quarrels between then were the eonsequence. He repeatedly vowed that he would " serve her out some day or other" which threat he last night put in execution. On Monday afternoon he sent one of the children for some gin, and mixed it with water, and then intro duced some ersenic, which he gave the unfortunate woman to drink. She put it to her lips, and finding ft possessed a very unusual taste, she refused to drink aey more. The wretched man, finding his deadly object had failed, commenced beating her most un mercifully with his fists, till she was black and blue in many parts of her body, and left her almost insensible from the effects of the blows. At dinner-time yesterday she in good temper named the treatment she had experienced from him, and exhibited her bruises, which irritated him ex ceedingly, and in the midst of the conversation he jumped up and left the house. The poor woman, who had been charing the whole morning at Mr. Perry's house, shortly after his departure resumed her labours, although nearly incapable from the effect of the beating. About nine o'clock she went home, and there found her husband, who commenced the quarrel again. She fled into one corner of the room, and endeavoured to make for the door, at the same time calling as loud as she was able, "Mur der I murder I" She was pursued by the unhappy man, who thrust a large clasp knife into her throat on the right side. The poor creature in this dread ful state ran down stairs with the blood flowing in torrents from the wound, and sought refuge in Mr. Perry's house; but the moment she entered she fainted from exhaustion. Mr. Perry gave an instant alarm, and several persons rushed up stairs, and be fore they gained the room in which the parties re sided, they met the husband coming down, with his hands and clothes covered with blood. He was im mediately secured, and carried to St. Dunstan's watch-house. The poor creature now lies in a very dangerous state. Abbott was securely hand-cuffed, and conveyed to the Compter. Previously to his leaving vile watch-house he left 55., which he re quested might be laid - out for the use of his children. lie is a man about 26 - years of age, very slender, and apparently in distressed circumstances,- but we are informed he was in constant work. Upon his reaching the gaol, he was placed in the infirmary. The poor woman bears a most excellent character for industry, and there does. not appear to have been the slightest cause for the jealousy of her husband. SUPPOSED MURDER. Yesterday afternoon, at four o'clock, an inquisition was taken at the Castle Tavern at Woolwich, before JOSEPH CARTER, Esq. upon the body of a man, name unknown, who was found drowned in the Thames on Sunday morning last, under circumstances which can leare no doubt that he was murdered. The body lay at the bone-house, and had the ap pearance of having been in the water for five or six days. The throat was cut from one ear to the other in a dreadful manner, and some of the front teeth knocked out. There were. also marks of violent contusions on the head and on the left arm, which was broken near the wrist. Round the waist was a cord, to which was attached a stone of about eight pounds weight. The head of the deceased was bald in front, and he had rather full whiskers of a reddish colour. He appeared to have been about 4.5 years of age, and of stout and sinewy form. William Hazzell sworn—l live at Barking, in Essex, and am a fisherman. On Sunday morning last I was ship-keeper on board the fishing-sraack Ebenezer, lying at Barking Creek's mouth. About eight o'clock that morning something drifted by the vessel, which the mate said he thought was a human body, and by des;re of the Captain of the Ebenezer, I put a rope round under the arm-pits of the body, and towed it astern of the boat to the Bell-water-gate in this town, and reported the circumstance to the parish authorities. After he. was brought on shore, a stone was found tied round his middle, and hanging in front of the lower part of the belly. Juror--Was his throat cut, and did any blood flow from the wound ? Witness—The throat was dreadfully cut, and when the body was dragged out of the water some blood did issue,' but not much. William Deacon, a surgeon at Woolwich, sworn —I saw the body of the deceased at the bone-house, on Sunday morning. I examined the body of the man superficially only, nos being requested to in spect it minutely. I looked at the throat, and found that the windpipe had been partly divided, but not entirely. I passed my finger round the throat to ascertain if the carotid artery had been severed, and found it had not. CORONER.--Do you think the wound was suf ficient in itself to have caused death ? Witness— Certainly, I do. Juror—Do you think it possible that the deceased could have run 20 yards or so, after the wound in the throat was inflicted ? Witness--I think he might have done so. The clothes worn by the deceased were here pro duced and inspected by the jury. In one of the shoes was written " W. M., June, 1827." A long discussion then took place amongst the jury (with closed doors) as to the propriety •f ad journing until a more miniqe examination of the body could take place by a surgeon. The discussion upon that point, and subsequently as to the verdict, was very warm, but finally the following verdict was agreed upon and formally returned :—" That the deceased was found on the 7th day of Sept. dead, and floating on the river, Thames, with his throat cut and a stone tied to his body, but whether he died by the said cut, or by drowning, or by his own hands, or by the hands of any other persons, there is no evidence before this inquest to prove." The body of the unfortunate man was interred as soon as the verdict was returned. On Thursday the Police seized, in the shops of several printaellers, an engraving representing NAroLioN on horseback and in uniform,--a lithograph representing Narous or. in a winter-cloak,—a lithograph . representing the battle of Austerlite„—a view of, the island of St. lielena and several others..—French Paper. CoLoMßlA.—Extract of a letter from Car thagena, dated July 6 :—" The Convention has been broken up, and General Bouvan has been called to save the country by the different Departments ; and is made' Supreme Chief with unlimited powers. He has assumed since this suite a different character ; 'his energy is show ing .itself, and he writes in high spirits, assuring the country that he can and will save it, and will not leave the helm of Government until he puts the Republic in safety. He has got every thing as he wished, and it is now to be hoped that he will succeed." MONDAir, SEPT.

The Sheriffs Elect have appointed THOMAS Tusow, Esq., of Coleman-street, and WILLIAM RICHARD sox, Esq., of WalbroA, their Under-Sheriffs. A General Meeting of the Subscribers to the Statue intended to be erected in Liverpool, to the Memory of the late Mr. CANNING, was held on Monday last, in the Town Hall, the MAron in the Chair, when it was resolved, on the motion of JOHN GLADSTONE, E.g. that the Memorial should be of bronp., and not of marble, as had been previously determined upon ; and that the site be the centre of St. George's-ereecent, at the top of Lord street. TURKISH STANDARD.— The Turks pre serve a green standard, borne by Mattwarr, with a great deal of veneration, as believing it to have been brought down by the Angel GABRIEL. Every time it is displayed, all who profess the Mahometan faith are obliged to take arms; those who refuse are to be deemed as infidels. The Turks attribute such exceedingly great power to the Angel GABRIEL as to be able to descend, in the space of an hour, from heaven to earth, to overturn a mountain with a single feather of his wing, &c. We have had accounts from Malaga this morning to the 24th ult. The following is an extract from a mercantile letter of the 23d :—" Our crops of fruits are likely to prove very abundant, especially the almonds, and we anticipate prices 1611 recede considerably, especially as there are not many orders arrived yet for pur chasing. Some shipments are making by American Yes sels.—ln consequence of the very severe drought we have had in this neighbourhood, the craps of olives have suffered so much, that oil continues advancing in price daily, and cannot now be shipped under 741. per pipe of 34 arrobas ; the price must, therefore, advance in your market, to en courage fresh shipments from this." On the Bth of August, a fine woodcock was shot in Florida demesne, county of Down. This, we be lieve, is rather a rare occurrence, as these birds do not visit us till about November, and emigrate again in February. As it vas seen in the course of the spring, it is supposed to have remained in the country since last winter.—Bel fast Chronicle. It is said that it was originally intended that the Russian squadron, instead of putting in at a British port, as it was compelled to do from stress of weather, was to have victualled at a French port, according to an ar rangement made with the French Government. This story has led to a surmise that there exists at present a se• cret treaty between France and Russia, relative to Turkey, to the exclusion of this country.—Morning Chronicle. The Harvest is nearly completed in the low country, and has commenced in the higher districts, but the poor Highlanders have not yet finished the summer work of carrying home their peaty, which was delayed in consequence of the rains; the peaty being not yet sufficiently dry, will cause an essential deduction from the comforts of the domestic hearth during a northern winter.—lnverness Journal. ConoNErt's INQUEST.—Yesterday afternoon a Coroner's Inquest was held in the Coninsittee-room of St. Bartholomew's Hospital, before T. SHELTON, Esq., on the body of SOPHIA MORGAN, about sloven months old, who was killed by the falling of a house, in Frogwell court. The jury returned a verdict of " Accidental Death," and found that the ruins of the house were of no value, and the property of a person unknown. CORDER'S CASE.—The late trial and execu tion of CORDER has apparently excited as much interest in France as in this country, according to the various accousts in the French journals. However, in addition they assert that murder, suicides, &c. are more frequent in Louden than in Paris. A letter from Toulon says—" The expedition will be much more considerable than was at first supposed, and it is said that thirty regiments will be embarked. The vessels la Duchesse de Berri, le Finisterre, l' Oise, and la Cararane, have received many troops on beard ; and the Didon was hardly out of the arsenal when soldiers were put on board of her. The Armide is ready, but it is thought that she cannot be is the roads till the 12th September. The Cuirassier has sailed for Marseilles to escort some of the transports." USEFUL DISCOVERY.—At the moment that M. BAUDOUIN has succeeded, in France, in discovering a method of passing under water without drowning, M. ALDINI, a Member of the Institute of Milan, has discovered a mode of passing through fire without being burned. This celebrated Professor has verified his great discovery by various public experiments At llilau and Pavia. We trust the Members of the Institute here will immediately attend to this, for the purpose of snaking it known, and propagating it in Fro.uce.—French Paper. It would appear front accounts received by the Lisbon mrii, that some armed bands still exist in the neighbeurhood of that city. These Guerillas, which are said to be composed of some of the dispersed Constitutional volunteers, are denounced by the magistrates appointed under the authority of Don MIGUEL, as robbers, and it is probable, that they have no other means of existence than plunder. Be this as it may, these bands, if they be as numerous and daring as they are represented, must give considerable trouble to Don Micum.'s Government. A party, consisting of 30, armed with swords and blunder 'susses. is stated to have appeared on the 11th ult, at the village of Calveda, about two leagues from Oporto. They were under the command of a man whom they called Sergeant : but none of them had any military uniform.— Another party, 25 strong, passed the preceding day through a village within half a league of Oporto. MARGATE STEAMERS AND LONDONPlCK rocicars.7—ln one of the Margate steamers which carried down company a few days since, at the rate of ss. per heal, the pickpockets committed robberies to the amount of between three and four hundred pounds. One of the depredators not only robbed the passengers, but endeavoured to defraud the Captain of his fare. The usual practice is to take the passage-money of the person when he comes on board, and a printed receipt is given, which must be de. livered before he lands from the steamer. A pickpocket, w ho had not paid the fare, endeavoured to get ashore without producing his ticket. The Captain stopped him, and some confusion occurred, during which a lady who had been rohhed of all her cash, exclaimed, " You have thieves on board ! I have lost all the money I brought from town !" " Several have been robbed," said a gentle man, "and I think I knew the thief. That man, Captain, who refuses to produce his ticket, has been busy among the passengers. I saw him in a suspicions situation."—. The depredator was instantly seized and carried on shore to the watch-house, where those persons who had been plundered attended, in the hope of finding upon him some of their property. The prisoner was searched, and cash and bank notes taken from his person, but it did not appear that any one could identify their property, until Mr. S., a respectable tradesman in Fetter-lane, said, "I have lost two Si. notes and four 21. notes —my name is written on the back of each." The scrutiny was again made, but no property belon g i ng t o M r .

" am further directe to inform you, that his Grace the Duke of Wellington heey distinctly pledg,rol himself to the Duke of Northumberland to the same effect, and also to the Earl of Eldon; both of which Noblemen take a strong interest in the question.— A copy of Lord Eldon 's letter to Mr. Richmond, stating the result of his interview with the first Minister, is herewith annexed. It appears very evi dent that the Duke of Wellington has strong doubts as to the efficacy of the new system, in its effects on the shipping of his own country ; but it must not be forgotten that he is surrounded in the Cabinet by a number of gentlemen who have, in a great degree, been the disciples of proselytes of the liberal school, and who, it is much to be apprehended, may in fluence him in a way that may be most prejudicial to our reasonable expectations of relief. "The Committee here have thought it right that the Shipowners of the kingdom should he acquainted with the promised intention of his Majesty's Go vernment ; and it must remain for their own deter mination what influence they may be inclined to exert or put forth, so that the Doke of Welling ton's intentions for their relief may not be neutra lized by the representations of those who may be unwilling to admit or remove the evils, originating from a system of which themselves were the authors." Here follows the letter of Lord Eldon : " Sir—Since I saw you upon a communication with the Duke of Wellington, I may inform you that his Grace purposes to give his attention to the important case of the Shipowners during the recess of Parliament. " I am, with much respect, Sir, " Your obedient Servant. (Signed) " ELDON. " July 23, 1828." NEW LONDON BRIDGE.

I)EVoNPoRT, SEPT. 7.—The Russian Ad miral Rtcoan, about whom so much anxiety has Leen ex pressed since he parted from his squadron off Scilly, in the gale of wind on the 9th ult., arrived at Gibraltar on the 20th of last month ; and when the Echo steamer, which arrived hero to-day, left Gibraltar, he was anxiously wait. ing the arrival of the remainder of his squadron, which only left this port on Thursday last, after having repaired the damage sustained in the gale above mentioned. The experimental squadron under Sir Hagar BLAciwoon has returned to port. The State allowance to the King of the NETHERLANDS is 2,400,000 florins, or 200,000/. per annum ; the Prince of GRANDE has a twelfth of that amount. The ordinary and extraordinary expences of the State for 1828 were fixed at 5,400,000/. sterling, exclu sive of the expences of the religious establishments, which are for the Protestant churches about 110,0001., and for the Roman Catholic 150,000/. per annum. In addition to tkis there is a supplementary budget of half a million sterling. The average taxation amounts to about one pound sterling per individual.

T ' «In the year 1817, Nicholas married the present Empress Alexandra Feodorowna, then Princess Charlotta of Prussia, daughter of Fre deric William the Third, and of the late Queen, whose name is highly revered in her own coum , try, and wherever virtue and an elevated mitl:4 are justly valued. With the hallowed reputation of her lamented mother, which preceded her to the country of her husband, the present Empress carried thither her own name, already associated voice with the fair sex, y ocbEzty the l t m i e l so a c a h t l Nn h is i every e d a t t l o i n' u o r o i b e t r : ee t a e g gi o il a ll ar e t lt a ii a d tcyl :b lt i a c t o r e t 't at sc levish of her favours en the person of the 01* one which, with the hati , striking appearance, some countenance of the late Queen of Prussia, c t:te of tm ll ll: and somewhat of that melancholy expression which marks t g h i e .ac u e pi:e ti r d th e p d a i r g t n o it f y. o ft: Royal Father,. unites to a stately majestic ear ci'ehh Mr. Dawe has painted of the t r i i o a r g t e ra s it o s 1 1 1 .1 11 1 Empress, some of which (particularly the last, in her gala-dress,) possess great Inerit as pictures., I think the palm is due to that which has been beautifully engraved by Mr. Wright, and which represents het. Majesty sitting, playfully enter taming her two eldest children, the hereditary Grand Duke, and the Grand Duchess Maria. The artist seems to have seized, in this instance, not only the lineaments of the face, belt those of the mind of his illustrious original. Of this most amiable Princess, the Emperor is represented to be dotingly fond, and with her he leads an ex- , tremely domesticated life, although surrounded by all the cares of so vast an empire. He is fre quently Ken abroad with her, without any of that attendant pomp and splendour which are perhaps necessary pageants with less popular Sovereigns ; an h lb e o ed th u a c r a c tio k o win t t he oclent'uomteemrouucs children withh parental care t which their union has been blessed. Of these, five survive ; namely, Alexander Ni leholoevitch, the hereditary Grand Duke, born in 1818 ; Maria Nicholajerns, Ctf:knd Duchess, born in 1819 ; Olga Nicholajevint, Grand Duchess, born in 1822 ; Alexandra Ni cholajevna, Grand Duchess, born in 1825 ; and lastly, Constantine Nicholaevitch, Grand Duke, who was born in September, 1827, a few weeks before our arrival at St. Petersburgh. The here ditary Grand Duke is placed under the super intendance of General Ouschakoff, one of the Aiel-de• camps-General of the Emperor, assisted by Colonel Mordcr, and receives instructions from Monsieur Joukovsky, one of the most dis tinguished literary characters in Russia. — It is remarkable, that the three Graaf] Duchesses have Enc , lish nurses attached to their esta blislnent. The hereditary Grand Duke is a very fine-looking child, strongly resembling his father, high-spirited, and, promising disposition. With such a domestic p i to t issl i e s said, ibpleresz eon ; f t t o he e Imperial n pe o c s t t e o f a l s ? u s d s i i s z t i it is h i e n s t from the children every thing that is flattering to the prospects of that country, and, we may add, of Europe ; for the destinies of all nations must necessarily be more or less interested in the question—who is to wield the resources of that extensive empire. The hereditary Grand Duke / who had been appointed Colonel of a regiment of Hussars from his earliest age, was named by the Emperor, during our stay in the capital', Ataman of all the Cossack troops ; on which occasion the Court Gazette published the Im penal Rescript, addressed to General Kouteini koff, commanding those forces, in which the Em peror desires that Officer to communicate the nomination aux brave troupes du Don, qui vous sont confides, persuade qu'elles y verrout ina nouveau gage de la reconnaissance ct de la bienveillance quo je lcur Porte pour les services distingu6s, qu'elles ont rendus a la Patric, et pour lcur fidelite au trdne sur lequ e l j al lieu do compter d'autant plus, que des le commence ment demon rCgne, elles ont donnes dans la guerre actuelle comtre les Persons, les preuves les plus brillantes de leur devouement et de leur bravoure.' The Emperor also declared his pleasure that the Grand Duke should be considered as chief of : the regiment of the Ataman, to be henceforth and called the Regiment of Cossacks of his High ness the hereditary Grand Duke.

The Prince is brought up, both in a domestic and military point of view, in the strictest dis cipline, and constantly under the eyes ' •e) of his parents, and the vigilant and intelligent superin . tendanee of the Empress Mother. He frequently walks or drives about town, attended by a com panion of about his own 'II is educated age, w o with him, and is the son of a General Officer. I have more than once seen him in the severest weather dressed in his simple uniform, accom panied by his playmate, driving a two-horse sledge, with none of their fur trappings which other people deem it necessary to wear as a pro tection against a cold of several degrees below 1 the freezing point, blooming with health, and full of gaiety, receiving with a pleasing smile the salutations and marks of respect which, when re • cognised during the rapidity of his course, every class of persons seem delighted in paying to their future Emperor. " At all times the example set by the superior • classes in the exercise of parental and d omest i c duties, in the display: of conjugal attachment, and the practice of private virtues, has had a beneficial i nfluence on the other ranks of society. But when such an example ls to be met with in f am ily of the Sovereign, the the benefit of its in fluence over every class of his subjects must be ten fold; and that such is the case in Russia at. th© present moment, and ' l particu arly among the highscircles i n St. Peters burgh, urgh, I have had fre quent opportunities of es ascertaining. ~ Nor is the individual conduct of the Em peror himselfltn • I- Viollt its good effect on the minds of his people.

Part of this consists in receiving, as I before stated, Count Diebitch, the Chief of the Etat-Major, who daily waits on his Majesty from seven o'clock till nine, and reports the state of the army dur ing the preceding day, and receives his Majesty's commands. After breakfast he either attends the Council or receives his Ministers daily ; each of whom has his appointed days and hours for waiting on the Emperor. He has on some oc casions attended the Senate ; and it was report ed, while we were at St. Petersburgh, that hav ing heard that the Senators had been in the habit
