Sold by ail News men in Town and Country. (From the Commerce.) The question whether Paris can be destroyed by a bom bardment depends entirely on its distance from the de tached forts, and the actual distance projectiles can be thrown from them. We quote first M. Arago's calcula tidnd oN to the impulsion of artillery as drawn up in 1833, when M. Thiets, then Minister of Commerce ; M. Guizot, Minister of Public Instruction; and Marshal Soult, Pre sident of the Council, proceeded by an ordonnance to execute General Bernard's system of the erection of 15 detached forts or bastiles to burn Paris. The Committee f the Chamber of Deputies at that time, in its report, declared that the forts being at 2,000 metres from the octroi wall, the capital was safe. M. Arago combatted that opinion by the followirg , fi gures:— In 1740, projectiles could be thrown 4,500 metres. In 1771, Betont, with 24-pounders, reached 4,442 metres (a metre is about three feet three and a half-inches.) In 1811, at Antwerp, 4,950 metres were attained. M. Arago adds, that the range is considerably increased in proportion to the height of the hills or elevated spats whole the batteries are placed. The range of 4,000 metres is obtained with every de scription of metal attached to an army, with 8-inch Spanish howitzers, and with Russian licornes. In 1810 Seville was fired upon, and, in 1811, Cadiz, from a battery placed at 6 000 metres from the city. The English Congreve rockets, called carcass rockets, which carry 171bs. of combustible materials, may ba thrown at 3,400 metres. General Tirlet adds that there are war-rockets of a range of 4,000 metres, and which may be thrown from any point without any other instrument than a trevit. But cannon used for bombarding has a considerably greater range. Official experiments have been made on this subject. M. Arago has published a statement, which is as follows: EXPERIMENTAL RANGE FROM GREAT ANGLES. Calibre. Weight. Antwerp...lBll 48-inch - Brest ......1811 36-inch - Range. 5,144 metres. 5,350 metres. 1 , 1-inch 1751b5. 5,574 metres. Seville —.lBlO ) 10-inch I 1601bs. More than 6,000 metres. La Feu —.lBll 11-inch 1751b5. 6,000 metres. Indret 1612 11-inch 1801bs. 5,900 metres. The Viloutrey mortars range from 6,000 to 6,600 metres. We must observe that the latest experiment was made twenty-eight years ago, and that since that period great discoveries and important improvements have taken place in the artillery branch of the service. Therefore we arc within the most moderate bounds in stating that, since those experiments, the range has not increased, and in stopping at 6,000 metres. Let us add, however, that, in military circles, a new process is much spoken of, which throw projectiles at much greater distances. Those points being mathematically established, there remains but one simple thing to be done, and which is not above the comprehension of a child ; it is to take a corn pass, in short the plan which has been distributed to the Chamber, And to measure the distances which separate the different forts from the outskirts (faubourga) of the city, and then from its very centre. According to the plan which we have just alluded to, the following is an account of the fortresses to be built:— To the north, St. Denis and the Eastern Fort ; to the south, on all the line from the south-east to the south west, the forts of Ivry, Bicetre, Montrouge, Vanves, and Issy ; to the east, on the line from the north-east to the south-east, the forts of R mainville, Noisy, Rosny, No gent, Vincennes, and Charenton ; to the west, Mount Valerien. Total, fourteen fortresses. The fort of Romainville is at 1,500 metres from the enceinte continue (or union line of defence), at 3,700 metres from the city walls, and at 4,900 from the in terior Boulevards, (in the quarters of St. Denis and Bt. Martin. ) The fort of Vincennes is at 1,200 metres from the en ceinte continue. (It has since been brought closer by several hundred metres.) It is at 2,000 metres from the city walls, and at 4,500 metres from the Place de la Bastille. The fort of Cbarenton is at 3,500 metres from the en ceinte continue, at 3,000 from the city walls, and at 5,300 from the wine market. The fort of Ivry is at 2,500 metres from the enceinte continue, at 3 900 from the city walls, and at 0,300 from the wine market. The fort of Bicetre is at 1,200 metres from the enceinte continue, at 2 500 from the city walls, at 5,100 from the Cathedral of Notre Dame, at 4,400 from the Pantheon, and at 4,500 from the wine market, and from storehouses in abundance. The fort of Montrouge is at 1,600 metres from the en ceinte continue, at 3,000 from the city walls, at 4,300 from the Luxemburg, and at 5,590 from the Pont Neuf. The fort of Vanves is at 1,900 metres from the enceinte continue, at 3 500 from the city walls, and at 5,800 from the Hotel des Invalides. Mount Valerien is at 3,800 metres from the enceinte continue, at 4,600 from Passy, at 5,700 from the city walls, and at less than 6,000 metres from the Paubourg du Roule. The eastern fort is at 5,400 metres from the City walls. From this summary, which we guarantee to be correct, for it has been carefully drawn out and verified on the Ministerial plan, it results that only three fortresses out of the fourteen that are to be erected do not threaten some point or other point of the capital. Eleven of the forts can bombard it. Amongst them eight are at 4,000 metres, or even at much less, from the faubourgs of the capital ; they are—Romainville Vincennes,. Charenten, Ivry, Bicetre, Montrouge, Vanves, and Issy All that will be requisite for them is the usual range of heavy metal. For the three others, the greatest range alluded to by M. Arago, and of which he has made several ex periments, will admit also of havoc being committed within tire very walls of the city: But if it be recol lected that the greatest range at which projectiles aro thrown exceeds 6,000 metres and more ; that Bicetre is but at 5,100 metres from Notre Dame, and at 4,400 from the Pantheon ; that Montrouge is at 4,300 metres from the Luxemburg, and at 6,600 from the Pont Neuf, is it not evident that those forts Can spread death and conflagration in the very heart of the capital ? That Vincennes, at 4 500 metres from the Bastile, can send Its shot to the very bottom of the Rue Saint Antoine, and that Romainville, not being far from it, at 4,900 metres from the Portes Saint Denis and Saint Martin, can extend its devastation even beyond those very populous quarters ? Therefore the southern forts, Bieetre, Montrouge, Van yes, and Issy, command and can set fire to the whole of the left bank of the Seine, and even shower red-hot shot into the very heart of the city. They keep the Faubourg Saint Marceau within their grasp, whilst Vincennes has also all that of Saint Antoine, and uniting with Ivry to the left, and Romainville to the right, commands all that im mense population of inhabitants from the Faubourg Saint Denis to the Pont d'Austerlitz, and from the city walls to the interior of the rues Saint Denis, Saint Antoine, and of the Temple. But this is not all. If from the fort of Vanves at the south-west to the fort of Romainville, at the north-east, a straight line is drawn across the whole breadth of Paris, and, taken in the direction of the Pont Neuf, an extent of 12,500 metres will be found in that line comprised between those opposite forts. Whence it results, that from the greatest range of the two forts, combined one with the other, amounting to 12,000 metres, Paris can be entirely bombarded on all sides, with the exception of an interme diate space of only 500 metres. But if mortars a la Viloutrey were planted on the two forts, which, according to M. Arago's calculation, can ensure a range of 6,500 metres, it would result therefrom that the bombs would cover the whole breadth of the city, and that their shot would cross each other ie the very centre of the capital. Let us add, however, t'; It from the fort of Romainville to the fort of Montrouge, which is but at 2,000 metres from Vairves, that said 1 ire in all its length has but 11,500 metres in extent. We have yet many observations, but we must limit our space. We think we have said enough to prove that M. Thiers's plans, in 1841, are concocted in the same view, and i~pl,y the same danger as M. Thiers's plans in 1633 The detached forts of the man of the Ist of March will cannonade and burn the Parisians with not less certainty end efficacy than the detached forts of the man of the 11th of October. M. Thiers then denied that the forts could reach Paris. He now admits that he was deceiving the country. M. Thiers, in 1841, renews the same protesta tions. We have just proved that he wishes again to de ceive it. THE FLOODS IN WORCESTERSHIRE.—The influx of water into the Severn, from the melting of the snow in Wales, has now overflowed its banks. Nor is the Severn the only river in our locality thus affected, the Avon being so swollen that the road between Pershore and Evesham is impassable, the Sovereign coach and the Oxford mail, on Monday night and yesterday being obliged to go round by the upper road, through Fladbury and Wyre Piddle to Perstiore, thus losing a good, deal of time. The Ludlow mail has also been delayed in consequence of the height of the Teme, at Igewnham Bridge, being many feet above its ordinary level The London mail to this city, by " railway " through Birmingham, and the Oxford mail by road, did not reach our post-office until consider ably af.of time ci; F. itlay morning, namely, the former at halt. past eight instead of twcnt) minutes before seven, and the latter at half-past one o'clock P.M., instead of eight AM. The delay was in both instances the same, viz., the interruption of snow which the train -bringing the Lon don mail encountered at Rugby, and the Oxford mail at Woodstock; The latter mail was brought on in a post chase and four by the guard, who states that he left the coach behind him embedded in snow to the depth of nine feet ; he also states that he met the guard of the up-mail on Thursday night between Woodstock and °hipping Nor ton, on horseback, laden with the bags, which he had brought on from Chipping Norton, beyond which the coach could not advance, from the blockaded state of the roads. On Saturday the Oxford mail succeeded in coming th e whole way, but did not arrive here till two o'clock in the afternoon, while the London mail was an hour and a half beyond its time. The following day the rapid thaw had cleared the roads of snow, and the mails arrived as usual. In some parts of Wales the floods have been much more , serious than in our locality. At Newtown, early on Sun day morning, the inhahitants were aroused from their slumbers, and were compelled to make the most strenuous exertions to preserve their property from damage, the lower part of their dwellings being under water, and some streets being completely flooded.— Worcestershire Chronicle.

Proposed by WILLIAM HENRY COLLIS, Esq., seconded by Mr. Jorirts BouttNE, and Resolved,—That a copy of the above resolutions be trans mitted to Sir J. E. E. Wilmot, Baronet, and William Stratford Dugdale, Esq., Members for the northern division of this coun , y, with a respectful request from this meeting that they will give the projected railway their sanction and support when the subject shall be introduced into the House of Commons. It is the opinion of this meeting that the aforesaid Commit tee do correspond with the authorities of other towns similarly situated, and that a strong and joint petition of the several d►s tricts that feel themselves injured by the present monopoly be forwarded to Parliament, requesting that equal facilities be given to each part of the United Kingdom where railways may be proposed, that a fair competition be excited between the different parallel lines, which will be for the good of her :Majesty's subjects as well in railways as in the general trade of the country.

A sum not less than Twenty Thousand Pounds has been ex pended upon its Wood Engravings ; and it has been mainly in strumental in creating the desire for Illustrated Works, and consequently in terming the School of English Artists, now unrivalled in the world, who have supplied the demand which has grown up during the last nine years. The improvements in Wood Engravings during that period are .most remarkable, and in this New Series it is proposed that these improvements should be available in their full extent. To effect this, the paper upon which the " Penny Magazine" is now printed will be slightly reduced in size ; but in thickness and fineness of quality a larger expense will be incurred by the Publishers. With this advantage the quality of the printing will be greatly advanced, and justice will be done to the eminent Artists, both as Designers and Engravers, who have been engaged for the New Series. Other improvements are also contemplated, of which the work itself will present the best evidence. Whilst its general character of utility will be strictly preserved, it w aspire to a beauty of Illustration which has never before been combined with extraordinary cheapness.

DINNER TO MR. O'CONNELL IN BELFAST. —Yesterday evening the promised entertainment to Mr. O'Connell was given in a pavilion, erected upon the site of the late Victoria Theatre, at the lower end of Chiches ter-street. The pavilion was elegantly decorated with festooning: and devices, and was certainly handsomely fitted up for the occasion. Robert *Dowell, E-q., pre sided, and amongst the gentlemen present were-... Alex. M‘Mullan, Esq., Cabra House (county Down) ; Owen M'Mullan (do. ); John M'Adam, Esq ; John Work. man, Esq. ; Henry Murney, Esq. ; E. O'Rorke, Esq. ; Capt. Boyd James M'Conkey, Esq.; John Wallace, Esq., solicitor; Alderman Smith (Drogheda); Nicholas Markey, Esq., J. P. ; John Sinclair, Esq. ; Thomas Steele, Esq. ; R. D. Browne, M. P. (Mayo); John Martin, Esq. ( Killileagh); Right Rev, Dr. Denvir ; Right Rev. Dr. M'Loughlin (Derry); Samuel Carson, Esq. (Belfast); Charles M•Allister, Esq. (Belfast), &c. &c. The usual loyal and constitutional toasts having been given, Charles G. Duffy, Esq., one of the secretaries, read letters of apology from H. Grattan, Esq., M. P., Right Rev. Dr. Blake, G. Ensor, Esc, D. R. Ross, Esq., Right Rev. Dr. Kernan (Roman Catholic Bishop of Clogher), and Jan O'Connell, Esq. To the toast of the " People," the Rev. Mr. Dorrian replied in a strain of considerable eloquence, and was loudly cheered. Mr. O'Neill Falls spoke to the toast of " Lord Melbourne and her Majesty's Ministers," amidst continued plaudits. The sentiment of the " Lord Lieutenant and prosperity to Ire land," was ably responded to by the Rev. Dr. Curoe. The next toast on the list was " Our illustrious guest, Daniel O'Connell ;" and on its announcement the cheering was tremendous, accompanied with waving of handkerchiefs from all parts of the house. The Honourable and Learned Gentleman deprecated, in the strongest terms, the idea of invading Ulster, or of generating dissension amongst the Reformers of the North. On the contrary, he exhorted them to unity, and referred to the case of Sir A. B. King, in order to show that he was ready to do justice to all classes of men—even Orangemen. In refe rence to Dr. Cook's challenge, he said that he would challenge him to a competition as to who would do most for the advancement of human liberty all over the world; and in regard to Universal Suffrage, he declared himself an adherent of Mr. S. Crawford. Triennial Parliaments were established by the Revolution of 1638, and by this principle he was willing to abide. He concluded by de precating, in animated terms, all persecution on religious grounds. The late hour at which the proceedings ter minated, puts it. wholly out of our power to attempt a de tailed report, but we may remark that all passed off in a quiet and peaceable manner. Nearly 1,000 persons might have been present at the entertainment.—Belfast News Lettes. ELECTION FOR THE OFFICE OF BRIDGE MASTER.—FINAL CLOSE OF THE POLL •-• Yesterday af ternoon, at Four e'Clock, the numbers were : Gibbs Ledger 9,444 Majority for Gibbs SINGULAR ESCAPES OF WELLINGTON AND NAPOLEON.—It is narrated by a military writer that Lord Wellington, on receiving an official notification of his appointment to the Colonelcy of the Blues, observed play. fully to those about him at the time, " That he was the luckiest fellow in the world, and had been born under some extraordinary planet ;" and assuredly the expe rience of after years verified the remark. Fame and fortune do not always reward desert--but on Welling ton they flowed continuously; and wlrile an admiring country munificently testified its gratitude to the great• est warrior it had produced, her favours were enhanced by the proud consciousness in him who received them, that all bad been honourably earned. In many striking points, the careers of Napoleon and Wellington exhibited a remarkable similitude. Born in the same year—following the same profession —passing that dan gerous ordeal unharmed, in which so many of their contemporaries perished—and both surviving to gain the loftiest objects at which "ambition's self" could strain. Beset with dangers, their preservation seemed mira culous —as both exposed themselves recklessly and from their most perilous situations both had singular escapes, and by the most opposite agencies. When at Acre a shell dropped at Napoleon's feet; a soldier seizing him in his arms, flung him on the ground, and the shivered metal passed harmlessly over the prostrate General, and but slightly wounded his preserver. In Paris, the furious driving of his coachman cleared the street before the infernal machine could be exploded. These were probably his greatest perils ; and from one he was delivered by the devotion of a grenadier—from the other, by the accidental drunkenness of a servant. Nor were Wellington's escapes less remarkable ; for there was rarely an action in which some of his per sonal attendants were not killed or wounded. At Vit toria he passed unharmed through the fire of the French centre bristling with cannon, for there eighty pieces were in battery. At Santarem he wrote a me morandum on the bridge while the enemy were in actual possession of the village. During the bloody contest that ensued, for a time he sat upon a height within close musket range of the enemy, watching the progress of the battle; and in the evening his danger was still more imminent. "He had carried with him," says Colanel Napier, " towards Echallar, half a company of the 43d as an escort, and placed a sergeant named Blood with a party to watch in front while he examined his maps. The French, who wereclose at hand, sent a detachment to cut the party off; and such was the nature of the ground that their troops rushing on at speed, would infallibly have fallen unawares upon Wellington, if Blood, a young in telligent man, seeing the danger, had not, with surpris ing activity, leaping rather than running down the Frecipitous rocks he was posted on, given the General notice; and as it was, the French arrived in time to send a volley of shot after him as he galloped away." It was said of Napoleon that he bore a charmed life—and certainly a special Providence watched over that of Wel lington—" God covered his head in battle, and not a hair of it was scathed."—[From the new number of Maxwell's Life of the Duke, a work of great merit.] The National Intelligencer of Saturday states, that on the previous day, " an hour or teo before the usual hour of meeting o . the House of Representatives, the gorgeous chandelier which has been lately suspended in the hall, with all its fittings and appendages, fell to the floor with a force proportionate to its weight, and was smashed to pieces. Fortunately, owing to the earliness of the hour, no one was within reach so as to be injured by it. An hour or two later, had it fallen, it might have caused rhe death or wounding of many members. In con sequence of the confusion caused in the hell by this aeci dent, the House adjourned soon after meeting. Thee chandelier was of American manufacture, wethed over 7 000 lb., and cost $4 000 or ,x"5.000. It was 13 feet in diameter, contained 78 argand burners, and it is said to have been ornamented by 2,650 cut-glass lustre, and 3,000 cut-glass spangles. A PIG TWELVE WEEKS WITIIOUT POW).— On the return of Mr. Leonard, of Bouldown, near Tet. bury, in this county, from Dursley Market, on Thursday, the Bth of October last, one of his servants informed him that two of his pigs were ill ; he did not go to see them that night, but next morning went into the yard for that purpose, when one of them, a sow, was missing, and every search and inquiry was made, but without effect. On Sun day, December 27, as one of the servant boys was walk ing in the yard where a stack of straw had been stand ing, he thought he heard a pig squeak; he made his master aware of the circumstance, who immediately called one of his men, and in a short time discovered the pig buried under the straw, but so much reduced as to have become a mere skeleton, and quite blind. She was taken to a warm sty, when nourishing liquids were given her, and she is now going on well. At the time the pig was missing, Mr. Leonard had barley thrashing with a ma chine, and, it is supposed, the pig being unwell, had crept under some straw unnoticed by the workmen, and the machine throwing off large quantities, soon made a stark of nearly 20 loads ; but recently the straw was made use of by the cattle, and the timely removal of the bulk low!. rudely led to the discovery.._ Gloucester Journal, 7 ~~~ ,%'d) EVENING EiiITIoN. _ _ • THE MURDER OF THE BLSV OF EIVe!F.LAND. ).: •-• i 4/ • OFFICIAL REPORT TO THE FRtJSSIAN 1.0151...RF„:4741;rt,„4,4., THE HOME DEPARTMENT. 7 .10;). 4 ;' ,. .?; On Sunday, the 8d inst., at six p.na;;4oo-.eotseli='-r.,;.:,-. man, one of the footmen, and the two maid=servants 'of: the Bishop went to th e p a rish church, in the lower •par t of the town, in order to be present at the close of . the 40 hours' prayer. About a quarter of an hour later the other footman followed, by the express order of his master, After two gentlemen who had paid a short visit to the , Bishop had taken their departure. Before this inter• view, which had been solicited from the Bishop, he i his kind manner desired his old housekeeper, Bosalia Pfeiffer, aged 76, to make all fast after the servants should be gone. Nevertheless, the two inaid-ser vantl, on returning about a quarter-past seven, found the doors all open, and looked in vain for the house keeper through all the lower apartments of the ground floor and in the kitchen, places from which she had scl dam before been missed. The two footmen, having on the conclusion of the church service, besides attending to somo busing S C their own, inquired, by the Bishop's direction, res t,, ing the health of a canon, returned after the lapse of another half hour, that is to say, about hall-past seven, and learned that the housekeeper was nowbsre to found. he coachman went, after the service; ie a public-house to get a Class of liner, end was se ;7 1 later in coming home. One of the footmen proceeded up stairs, but rushed instantly down with the alarteieg information that the Bishop was lying bathed itz his blood on the floor, and that Rosalie Pfeiffer was sitare; by the stove in a state of insensibility. 'fee two foot men and the two maid servants ran up, and were h - ror-struck at the spectacle which presented itself—et their venerable master lying on the floor, stretched ee , all his length in a flood of blend, with his faee,do,..ll - The housekeeper, whose countenance waf , covered with blood, and who sat, as has been said, neer the stove, had several severe wounds on 'the head. After repeated questions, loudly put to her, as to what had passed, she only pointed to the dead body of the Bishop, and with difficulty gave utterance to the scarcely intelligible words, " Who is that—whet isehat 9" The Bishop's servants havie f ; eiede the dreadful event known, the Burgomaster, Novakovsky, the ca thedral physician, Cirski, some canons, and several ciei zens of Frauenburg, hastened to the Bishop's reihkftees The body of the Bishop, which, though lifeless, was not yet cold, was laid on a bed, but all the means of restoring animation were tried in vain. Three severe wounds had been inflicted by a hatchet, or sonao such. weapon, on the head. One of these, which was three inches long, and three-quarters of an loch brow(, and by which the brain on the right side wag laid open, bad evidently been given by the mortal blow. , The liouS - keeper, who had received three severe wounds•on th.:; head, was conveyed to her bed. The physician votes the greatest attention to her case, anal there are now hopes of her recovery ; but how and when she got into the Bishop's apartment, and came to be seated' upright by the side of the stove, cannot yet be knosse. The horrible ocourrence appears to have made such an impression on her, that she has not hitherto been able to communicate anything of importance. The few half intelligible words which she mutters at feverish inter vals appear to have reference to the instructions give her by the Bisrhop before the murderous deed. The burgomaster ordered the Bishop's curial domain and all the outlets of the town to be watched, and the houses of all suspected persons to be searched. At the same time about a dozen mounted citizens patrolled all over and about the town in every direction, for the purpose of arresting any to whom suspicion might attach ; but all this had no result. The Cathedral Syndic, Virs bovski, was also occupied during the night, from 3 to 4, in examining the Bishop'a domestics ; there appeared no ground for suspecting any of the individuals belong ing to the establishment. The news of the assassina tion having that night reached the neighbouring town of Braunsberg about 11 o'clock, the district Judicial Counsellor Dulls hastened to Frauenhurg, whither the military commandant also sent a detachment to assist the police, and took upon himself the investigation of the case. Near the spot where the Bishop had been struck down there was found a kind of mask. The upper part of this mask, which is made of coarse linen, has two round holes cut out for the eyes ; the under part, which hangs down in the form of a heard, is of dark cotton much worn by washing, and is stitched to the linen with blue thread. In the Bi a bop7,,e sitting room, where a lighted lamp stood beside his reading desk, some drawers of a commode, which heel. before been locked, were open and things taken out. In these drawers, in a closet under some linen articles of clothes, and in a secretaire, pieces of money, securities, and certificates of shares in the public funds to a consi derable amount were found. The articles at once missed were, a gold watch, a gold snuff. box, and a paper with one-sixth dollar pieces, which the Bishop,used to have always lying open before him. Soon after, ,how ever, the servants noticed the absence of a silk bag, in which some Polish coins used to be kept. Whether the Bishop_ had to greater smouut of money inshis . possessimi cannot at present be ascertained, but the dissippeanmee of the articles already mentioned left. no doubt that a robbery had been committed. The examination of witnesses called by the Bishop's servants con fi rm ed their declarations as to where they had been deri;,g-ti,e time in which the murder must have been perp tratarl. Public rumour quickly pointed out as the murficrer Rudolph Kuhnapfel, who,u the burgomaster beer - fief - me had reason to regard with suspicion, and who was a man likely to have committed the deed. From the documents of former investigations produced against lout, and from public fame as to his character, the lisliovving particulars have been collected :—Rudolph Kulinapfel, between '26 and 27 years of age, of the Catholic religion, had worked fur a long period abroad, in Pomerania and Saxony, and had served in the 3d Regiment of Infantry. He sipated, discontented with his condition, an avaricious, irreligious man, who has cherished, in a particular man ner, hatred and malioe against the clergy of Frauen burg, as is proved by several strongly-expressed ening, and firebrand letters. He- lately underwent the punishment of imprisonment for three weeks. About the: time of the murder, between six and seven o'clock, he was seen by several persons near the Bishop's residence, and moreover, as in consequence of the repeated searches in the house a siiere he lived, besides several other art ;- cies calculated to cast strong suspicion on him, greater rat of the money tied valuables rnisse freak the Bishop's apartment have also bels?n found. T"" Rudolph Kuhnapfel, his parents, with 14 1101,11 ho ►west, and his sister, are arrested and placed in fq:seial safe keeping. Tim., further proceedings will take pled° •bekrc the Criminal Judge. (From the Elbing Gazelle of the 7th intmant.) To-day another strict search was made in the `.ous4i• of Kuhnapfcl, the tailor of nauenhurg, to discov,ir the gold watch and snuff-box missed from the Bishop's chamber. The result or the search was successful. Several articles were found, some on the roof of the house, others in a hole under the stairs—viz., one gold watch, one gold snuff-box, about. AO tix dol!ari, in gold and silver, and, it is said, an other mask of the same kind as the one lett in the Bishop's apartment. During his examination, Kulinaptel displayed the greatest daring and levity. Turning to the corpse of thin Bishop, he said quite coolly—" A bad job for the old man. Why he atre.;!l , s to have got a sabre cat on the licad,"aad then kelooked up at the pictures on the wall. His extraordinary in difference tells in people's minds against him ; for how could an innocent man be indifferent to such a dreadful accusation? It was, too, such a moving sight to belio l,l the gray head of the venerable victim covered with blood end disfigured with frightful wounds! A wax taper was found near the Bishop ; it is therefore pro bable that he had opened the door to the m urderer himself, and, according to his affable condescend ing habit, had turned back for the taper and lighten him up the stairs.

GRANVILLE'S " SPAS OF ENGLAND." —.The public will be glad to find that the above-inentiowd :pork, which is dedicated, by express permission, 'to tier Majesty, is just ready for publication. In a country sra rich in minei al waters as England, it is rather surprising that there have existed so many individuals for whom they seem expressly provided, who deny themselves the benefits readily to be derived front them, at small cost and trouble, and travel a great distance to incur every possible incon— venience and expense to reach' some fashionable wateriog. place on the Coto inent, where the advantag es promit cd to the invalid are very rarely obtained. Chemical. analysis •proves I beyond a doubt, that among the various Spas in England, several exist that must, from their peculiar composition, be equally, and in some instances more eficaciaus than the most esteemed of the Spas of Germany, when had rocourso to under like c i r cumstances; and with this authority we have also extensive medical experience, showing that the results of different diseases treated by native mineral waters are encouraging to an extent it would be difficult for any of the foreign springs to exceed. This has rendered ne cessary the publication of a work in which the composition, the o peration, and the virtues of every one of the mineral waters of England, may be seen at one view, together with every information relating to them which may b of most interest and value to all who have occasion to ma?',e trial of their efficacy. -,, - 9 4 -, '~ti.
