SINGLIMAR DEATII.—A Young woman, a servant in Phileigh, on the evening of sth inst while engaged about her Usual employment, suddenly, and apparently without any ex ternal force, burst a vein on the inside of the leg (technically called the saphine major), by which a copious effusion of blood ajth.e7as produced ; this almost immediately induced fainting ; and ou gh the hemorrhage was by no means excessive, she q . (l not recover from the fainting, but expired before medi ctil assistance could arrive, which was romptly sought on week &cession. The same vein had bursts pontaneously some 3 before, and discharged profusely. The singularly fatal, issue of this case should impress on the minds of those wiao laave experienced the rupture of a vein in the leg, the ab v 3(3111te necessity of ' always wearing a proper bandage, to dive rela xed support to those veins, which are usually in a morbidl y I.axv:end state in those persons subject to such an accident.— Briton.) The following are the only articles in the Foreign Journals worth extracting : [From the Moniteur of Saturday, March 20.] 114muri, MAncu 9.---M. Perez Juana, one of the newly appointed Members of the Criminal Tribunal at Madrid, has just set out for Toledo, accompanied by a French force, with the order 3 of the Government, to relcase from the prisons of that city a great number of individuals, who have been languishing in. confinement for these nine months, without any other crime than the will of some persons, who, by their own authority, had them taken to prison, saying they were negroes. It is proper to observe, that this resolution to release these persons was taken by the Government some months ago, but that the various orders which it has sent to the Corregidor of Toledo, to execute it, have always been eluded, because he said, " the lives of the prisoners would be endangered on account of the hatred which the people cherish of every thing that is liberal." In this city, as well as others, we begin to feel the effects of the late Decrees for the farming of the salt cod, the augmenta tion of the price of tobacco, salt, &c. The Etoile, elated Sunday, contains a letter from his Ma jesty to the Archbishop of Paris, desiring him to have public prayers read, to implore Divine Providence to cause wisdom and moderation to direct the important deliberations of the Chambers that are going to open; he is also to celebrate a so. lemn mass of the Holy Ghost, at which the Princes of the Royal Family, the Peers, and Deputies, will attend. Gyre-, Twelve o'Clock.—Consols opened at 94i for the Account, got up to 94-U, but soon after lowered again to SA, and for Money 934, with little business doing, and a heavy Market.— Up to this hour no Express has arrived from Paris. The New Insurance Shares have expe rienced a great fluctuation since yesterday. They opened this morning at 20, and are this moment done at 17 to 171. They have fallen since yes terday 5 per Cent. The cause is not exactly known as yet. There are late Letters from Rio Janeiro by the Mail, but I do not hear that they bring any news. FOIAIIGN MARKET.--Spanish Bonds appear to maintain their price, and a good purchase was made in the earlier part of the morning. All other Foreign Securities seem heavy. Half-past Twelve.—The New Insurance Shares have just risen again to 1814. In the House of Commons, last night, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER consented to a very important modification of the projected re peal of the bounties on Linens. The repeal, in stead of being immediate, is not to commence until the 25th of January next year ; and even then only one tenth part of the bounties will be taken off, and a further tenth will he sub tracted annually, so that the total repeal will only be effected at the conclusion of eleven years ! This is certainly softening the blow to the Linen Manufacturers, and may, as we hope it will, have the effect of obviating many of the evils expected to result from the measure. Even in its present altered shape, however, the project will continue to be warmly opposed, and is still liable to most serious ob jections. A Meeting, we observe by the Irish papers received this morning, has been held of the County of Cork (the High Sheriff in the Chair), at which Resolutions were passed ex pressive of great alarm at the proposition to repeal the Linen Bounties, and a Committee of appointed to watch over the interestsGnetlme Gentlemen was te a u s lanufacture, and the progress of the measure by which it is threatened. We shall to-morrow insert a Petition to Parliament pre pared by the Committee and adopted by the Meeting.—The CHAXCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER last night also made a further concession to the Retail Silk Trade, by enlarging the description of goods, as stock on hand, which will be entitled to a drawback of the duty. The Right Hon. Gentle mans however,perseveres in the design of throwing open the British Market to Foreign Manufactured Silks, from and after the sth of July, 1826 ; apd unless, therefore, the Bill shall be lost in the House of Lords, or unless some new light shall burst upon Parliament in the course of the en suing two years and a quarter, the fate of the Silk Manufacture may be considered as decided. Our former intelligence of the complete reco ♦ery of the Emperor of Russia is fully confirmed by recent accounts from Petersburgh. From Leipsic we learn that trade is in a state of great stagnation, but is expected to be revived by a law just published, which considerably re duces the mercantile duties, and gives particular facilities to the transit trade. WILLIAM CLAY, ESQ.—We are sorry to state the death of this Gentleman, which took place on Sunday morning, at his house in Gower-street. Ile was from home, among a party of friends, on the preceding Thursday, and retired in good health, hut was taken ill the following day, and, though his medical attendants entertained hopes of his recovery, the melancholy event occurred at the time above stated. He was advanced in life, but seemed to possess a firm constitution, though occasionally troubled with gout. lie was intelligent, glacial, and cheerful, with a good understanding, great knowledge of the world, and a varied store of anecdotes. lie re tained his facultie s and co mpanionable qualities till the moment wh en visited by the illness which IS sup— has that so re gr etteda he had acquired u r e td great wioena he managed with ex emplary prudence. Few. t. t Plth b; mer cantile industry, which gentlemen of the commercial profession were betterknown, and none could be more respected, by a very nu merous body of the most respectable connections in this great metropolis. Yesterday morning th e Earl -- o f ~LINCARTY, his family, and suite, arrived in town from his Embassy at the Netherlands, which office the Noble Earl has filled since the elevation of the House of Orange. The N o b le Earl proceede d Hotel, to the Clarendon notel, i n B ond-street, nearly the whole of which had been previousl y engaged for the reception of his Lordship, the Duke of LEEDS having very politely given up his suite of room s, and left the house f or the accommo d at i on of the Noble Earl. ri Earl of r, ?....ie soon after his arrival, proceeded to the Secretary of State's Office for Foreign Affairs, to transact business. - - The Waterloo East Indianian, which has ar rived in the Channel, left Canton on the 9th of December. This is a remarkable short voyage. Amity with the Chinese was perfectly restored. CADIZ, MARCH I.—An armed vessel, under Colombian colours, has chased aSpanish schooner hack into the harbour, which had sailed for the Havannah. The Colombian cruizer was in sight this morning. She is a long schooner. DRESDEN, MARCH 6.—The Privy Councillor, Baron VOW JUST, Minister Plenipotentiary from his Majesty to the Court of Great Britain, who lately arrived from London, died yesterday, at the age of 72 years. He has served the King for above fifty years, and in the various important missions with which he has been entrusted, especially in the capacity of Minister at Paris and London, he rendered important services and acquired general esteem by his probity, his penetration, prudence, and zeal for the good of his country. Mr. CANNING, we learn, has, in the most prompt and humane manner, taken steps for the immediate liberation of Mr. IVIATTnEws, the English Gentleman who was arrested in com pany with 0* gallant Rico°, and thrown into solitary confinement at Madrid. There is rea son to believe that on this, as on other occa sions, the British Government has met with some l incivility from the Spanish Ministry, which is likely to become the subject of remonstrance.- 1 (Morning Paper.) There is no foundation whatever for the para graph inserted in the Irish Papers, mentioning that Sir H. TomtaNs means to offer himself as a candidate for the representation of the City of Dublin. The clothiers continue to resist the proposed exportation of long wool. Mr. YOUNG is now performing at Edinburgh, where his talents receive proper encouragement. His performance in Brutus, and VANDLNHOFeII in Cassius, have been much admired in that city. WEST INDIA DOCKS.

Earl of Whitworth and the Duchess of Dorset entertained the Duke and Duchess of Leeds and a distinguished party at dinner yesterday at their house, in Grosvenor-square.

Hotham, Mr. Mrs. and Miss Wentworth, Mr. and Mrs. Tremayne, Mr. Lushington, &c. FUNERAL CEREMONY OF THE DUKE OF CAM BACERES.—Accounts from Parl, dated the 14th inst., state that the interment of the remains of the Duke of CAME AC E RI: s (formerly one of the Consuls with Bu ONAPARTE) took place the day before with great pomp and solemnity in the Church of St. Thomas d'Aquin. The body was deposited in a rich coffin covered with purple velvet, and bestudded with an immense number of gold nails. A string of seventeen mourning coaches followed the henna.. These coaches contained a great number of persons of distinction. Several equipages, belonging to private individuals, bore up the rear ; and last of all followed a body of poor people, between two and three hundred in rnnuenroibuesrd. detachments a l c ' hm io c , e nt e s es fr sio w from the e a 7 s preceded thB and followed th,aild3Bthnegim h e y nts nu oi. the Line, which at present constitute part of the garrison of Paris. The Duke has left a fortune of several millions of francs. [ln TIIE Sox of the 18th inst. the will of the de ceased was published from a French Paper.] FUNERAL CEREMONY OF THE DUKE OF LEuCti- TENDEnc.—On Wednesday the 25th February, thelast honours —the funeral rites, were performed over the remains of the la mented Prince EUGENE, the Duke of LEUCIITENBE no, in the Court-Church of Saint Michael, at Munich. In the funeral cortege were Prince Charles and the Duke of Maxmillian of Bavaria, as also the Duke Augustus of Leuchtenherg (the de ceased's son), the high functionaries of the Court, the Ministers of State, and the Field Marshell Generalissimo. Besides these distinguished personages all the incorporated companies of the city attended, in deep mourning, with their banners and insigna. The effect produced by the rolling of the muffled kettle drums, while the grand organ poured fourth a solemn dirge, was of a somewhat awful description. Seldom has there been any great man mourned for with greater sincerity of feeling than the late Duke of Leuchtenberg. For not only did he possess those qualities which stamped him one of the greatest warriors of his day, but he was distinguished by all the most estimable quali ties which go to the formation of an amiable man. He leaves behind him six children, viz. two Princes and four Princesses. —(.3funich, 28th February. ) THE Rev. C. CoLTON.—Fears were expressed in the London papers some time since for the safety of the Rev. C. C. COLTON, author of " Lawn," &c. &c., us he had suddenly disappeared from London. The last time he appears to have been seen was in the company of Mr. Weare ' who was shortly afterwards murdered by Thurtell, Hunt and Probert. The Editor of the New York Patriot lately stated that a per son answering the description of Mr. Colton was in this city some short time since, and, under the name of Clinton , h ad offered a work to a bookseller in this city, at the same time declaring h e was the author of " Lacon," and that he lately left this city for Charleston. In addition to the above, the Manufacturers' Journal of Providence, Rhode Island, says—" Mr. Colton ar rived at Newport, in September last, in the ship Boy, from Bremen, and previously to his visiting New York, passed s r s e e l y r e , a r r a i l ce d d a y fo s r at the ;ll. e r c c l e l n o t i r t i o c i' h iltys of o t h el is , a t n h n i s e r p s a a c n e d , w a h p r e o r e fu l s i e e d w i a s play of remarkable trinkets, &c. lie here, also, assumed the name of Clinton."—(New York Daily Advertiser of Feb. 20.) I DISCOTERIES IN TIIE MOON. — Irp 110 following piece of joke or humbug (for it does not clearly appear whether the writer means to he serious) is from a German paper : " Augsburg, March 12.—Professor Gruithuisen, at Munich, whose Selenognostic remarks are known to the learned from Bode's Astronomical Calendar and other writings, has spoken in that calendar, and in one of his works, of the discovery which his extremely quick sight, aided by a good telescope of Frauenhofer's making, has been enabled to make of a colossal building, situated near the equator of the moon, resembling a fortress, with straight ramparts, which are arranged like the lateral fibres of an alder leaf. We now learn that he has also discovered a great many regularly made roads, alterations moon na(llwsii e ich str a a r e e t s e t r t a r fl a r e i s n e o d f art rf a ce of in n tle natural inoi t ce o uvli e dt x iev i ra s i t tti c o , nrn a i n na d dte s h e e v b e sy r u al other indications of rational beings in that planet." ASSASSINATION.—Lisbon letters of the 4th and sth instant, allude to the horrid murder of the Marquis de Louie, one of the King's Chamberlains, which had excited great c onsternation. It appears the King went to Salvatierra to pass the Shrovetide with his daughters, when festivities were to take place. The dead body of the Marquis, it would seem, was found lying on the ground, and in the open air, in a part of the palace that was some time ago burnt, and never rebuilt. He was in his full uniform, with all his insignia upon him. There were two great contusions in his head, and a sharp in strument had entered his mouth, and come out at the top of his head, which indicated that the wound had been inflicted whilst in a lying posture. A person advanced in years, has been murder ed in Wales, and what adds to the dreadful crime the son of the pcor old woman is suspected to be the murderer. No. 5 7 1'299, drawn first day of present Lottery a blank, was put in the wheel again and re drawn second day, when it came up a Prize of 1 20,200., and was sold by Bisu in ten shares : One Quarter was sent to Glasgow, one Eighth to Chester, one Eighth to Liverpool, one Eighth to Stockport ; six Sixteenths, all sold in London, one of them registered to five maiden Ladies in Yorkshire, one to a Club of thirteen Silk Weavers in Warwickshire, one to a Naval Officer in Hampshire, one to a servant maid in Norfolk; the other two not being registered, their destina tion cannot at present be ascertained.

This morning, at eight o'clock, the dreadful sentence of death was carried into effect in the Old Bailey, upon Samuel Rains, aged 24, and John Austin Wren, 20, for a highway robbery, attended with circumstances of aggravation. These culprits were convicted, with a man named Elliott, who is respited, in the January Sessions of an attack upon, a gentleman named Collins, near the road leading to Vauxhall ' Bridge ; but the gentleman making rather an unexpected re sistance, the ruffians resorted to violence, and finally, in their attempt to escape, one (it is believed 'Wren) fired a pistol, the ball from which passed through Mr. Collins's hat; they were, however, all secured very near the place of attack. Untbrtu nately, these men had before undergone the ordeal of trial, and were known to the police as desperate ruffians capable of any act of violence, and this circumstance, added to their crime, was calculated at once to decide the necessity of their being; made an example; and although the prosecutor recommended them to mercy, which recommenda'ion was joined with an effort from another qu a rter, it was det erm i ne d the sentence should not be altered. The family of Wren were most respecta ble, and he, it seems, was the entire cause of the breaking up of their fortunes. He was an only son, and every effort had been made by his family to wean him from the bad associations he had formed, but of no use, as the unfortunate pining man despised every kind of advice. On his being con victed for this offence, and the Judge intimating that the law would take its course, his mother became so shocked that she, 19 a short time, died of a broken heart; his father al s o findin g himself reduced nearly to ruin, and seeing his son about to forfeit his life ignominiously, his mind could not stand against such accumulated affliction, and he became raving mad, and expired yesterday evening at 6 o'clock.—This was communi cated to Wren last night and he became so shocked as since scarcely to be able to attend to any religious instruction ; he however fully admitted the justness of his sentence, and ex-. pressed great contrition for his critne.—Rains has been ex tremely penitent, and since his condemnation has made most unceasing appeals to Heaven for mercy.—He has left a wife and two infant children to deplore his loss ; they, we understand, are in a state of the most deplorable dis tress, and live in Peter-street, Nirestminster.—This morning Mr. Sheriff LAURIE and his officers arrived at the gaol at twenty minutes to eight o'clock, and instantly proceeded to the press-room, where the culprits were introduced and pinioned. Wren was dressed in a blue coat and white trowsers, and looked extremely respectable; his demeanour was careless and bold, but from the wandering of his eyes and his flushed countenance it appeared his senses tvere wavering. Rains was extremely dejected and weak, but prayed with great fervour ; he show( hands with the Sheriff, and begged him " to pity" his poor wife and children. The awful preparation being com plete, in twenty minutes the wretched men were led to the scafibld, attended by the Rev. Mr. TOWNE and Mr. BAKER. Rains, us he walked through the passages, repeated the re sponses at the conclusion of the funeral service, and said, " Oh Lord, in the valley of death thou hest lifted me up, simpoet and receive my soul now." 'Wren first ascended the platform, and nodded to seine persons in the crowd, and, with a smile, exclaimed, " Good bye, God bless you."—ln a few minutes the executioner having completed his arrangements, the drop fell, and they ceased, after a few struggles, to exist.—Consi dering the wetness of the morning an immense crowd attended.

Doubting its being genuine, Mr. Tooth applied at the Hastings Bank, only a few doors distant, and learnt it was one of the Portsmouth stolen notes ; on this Mr. T. stepping to the door beckoned the man it, NOTES OF ° shopr middle-aged THE of ili r. man, , oot i v :o l in who was waiting on the pavement, and who no sooner entered__ the bank than the key was turned upon him, and his person searched, when others of the same bank, to a considerable amount, were found ; some in a pocket-book, and others wrapped round his legs beneath the stockings. infdralatiou of the circumstance was received in town yesterday morning, and the parties interested immediately left town for Hastings gaol, where he is committed. DUMFRIES, MAUCH IF.—(MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.)-- About eleven o'clock, on the night of Thursday last, two of our townsmen, Mr. Murdoch, shoemaker, and: Mr. He-• therington, currier, while on their way homewards front Lockerby, attempted to ford, with a horse and gig, the river Annan, at Halleaths, instead of taking the boat— ignorant, no doubt, of the force of the current, which had risen about two feet in the course of a few hours. The horse, it is supposed, had been driven rather prec pitately into the stream, and alarmed at its depth and rapidity, became restive, and reared several times. Being at last allowed to t a k e it s own course, (which as might . have been expectal, was down wards) it succeeded in regaining the side, but unfortunately missed the entry of the ford ; and though its fore feet were mere than once raised upon the bank, yet from its being too steep to be surmounted, the animal again fell back into the water, and continued to be borne along by the force of the stream.— ln this perilous situation, Mr. Murdoch, springing from his seat, got hold of the bank, and had scarcely raised 'himself upon his feet, when he beheld his companion floating at a rapid ra.e down the current ; his head only, and that of the horse, were visible at intervals, and for a few moments, after which the y entirely disappeared. Next day the drowned horse and gig were got out; and on Sunday morning, after most persevering search, the body of Mr. Hetherington was found near Dormant j —distant about four miles from the Halleath's ford. ich Lt. al Ira du the ass, the arc al, 'ter rbt ' of eg• yea oi rea raolif
