'Wellington-street North, Strand N ATIONAL LOAN FUND LIFE ASSU RANCE SOCIETY. _ 26, Cornbill, London. Capital £500,000. Empowered by Act of Parliament. This Institution embraces important and substantial advantages With respect to Life Assurances and Deferred Annuties.

The Assured has, on all occasions, the power to borrow, without expense, or for feiture of the Policy, two-thirds of the Premiums paid. DIVISION OF PROFITS. The continued prosperity of the Society has enabled the Directors at the Annual Meeting, hel I on the 10th of M ty, 1848, to declare a sixth bonus, varying from 27 to 65 per cent. on the Premiums paid on each Policy effected on the profit scale.

By the operation of the came principles, the Society is enabled to afford to the public a plan of Deferred Annuities far more advanta geous than any hrtherto offered, whereby an Individual, by the con tribution of a very small annual, monthly, or weekly saving. may se cure either a comfortable provision for himself in advanced age, or, at his option, a large sum of money, or a policy to his family at his death ; while by giving to the purchaser, at any title, the power of borrowing two-thirds of all previous payments, it removes all risk Of forfeiture from inability to continue premiums, besides affording an ample resource during sickness and want of employment ; and should the purchaser die before arriving at the stipulated period, twe thirds of his payments will be returned to his representatives. The following Table is a specimen of the great and varied advan tages which the judicious application of a small saving can secure through this Society. I.

The Court of Assizes of the department of the Ardeche has lately been occupied for three days in the trial of an elderly man named Dumoulin, of Limony, canton of Serrieres, arrondisse ment of Tournon, for poisoning members of his family. Thirty years ago this man entered into the service of a widow named Gacon, a woman of some little property. lle soon estahlished a criminal con nexion with her, and after a while married her. She gave him a portion of her property, but he treated her with great brutality. A child she had by him died shortly after birth, and two of her children by her first husband also died in tender years; it is now supposed that all three deaths were cawed by paison administered by the prisoner. In 1839 the prisoner took a mistress to live with him in the same house as his wife and family. This exasperated the wife— daily quarrels ensued, and at length the prisoner got rid of ner by poison. The circumstances of her death left no doubt of this, but it was not until 1848 that the law authorities heard of the affair; and though they then pr o p ose d to ex h ume the body of the de ceased, they coulenot find the precise spot where it was buried. After the death of his wife, Dumoulin lived on bad terms with his son, on account of some dispute about money, and the refusal of the son to marry the father's mistress. On the 26th of June, 1846, after supping alone with his father, the son was seized with violent pains in the bowels, and with all the symptoms of having been poisoned. The father, thinking ha was dying, knocked up the cure of the village. The priest, horrified at the state in which he found the young man, administered an emetic, and this had the effect of saving him. After that time the young man was repeatedly attacked in the same way—indeed, in the course of a few months he had no fewer than six attacks ; but having always been able to vomit, he was saved. Tbat these attacks arose from poison administered by the prisoner there is now no doubt, but this was not suspected at the time. The prisoner himself persuaded his son that he was bewitched, and he took him to a woman who passed as a sorceress, who predicted to him his early death, and persuaded him to leave to his father the property to which he was entitled. To secure the realisation of the predic tion, the father took the precaution of purchasing a quantity of arsenic. In December, 1846, the son of Dumoulin's decea se d w if e, a young man named Per roton, had a pig killed, and the prisoner was noticed hanging about the trough in which the blood fell. He knew that black puddings were to be made, and that his son was to dine with Perrotin and his family. He himself was asked to dine also, but he declined on some vague pretext. After dinner all the family the of Perroton and young Dumoulin were seized with violent pains in the bowels; six other persons in the village, to whom the puddings had been sent, were seized in the same way, and it is probable that all these persons, twelve in number, would have perished if timely remedies had not been applied. It appeared that at this time Dumoulin had conceived the atro cious design of poisoning all the Perroton family, as well as his son, as by their deaths he would have come into all the property. One day in March, 1847, he went to Perroton's house, and during the temporary absence of Madame Perroton threw some poison into the pot in which the soup was boiling. Madame Perroton and two of her children partook of the soup, and were immediately seized with pains and vomiting. The same evening Dumoulin waited for his son and son-in-law, Perroton, and to their 'uprise strongly pressed them to go to his house to eat soup, but they refused. The next day Perroton, having drunk some of the soup, was taken ill, as his wife and children had been. In the night young Dumoulin also was attacked in the same way, after eating some food which his father had prepared. In December, 1847, young Dumoulin was again seized with all the symptoms of poisoning, after drinking part of a glass of water presented by his father; en this occasion he pressed his father to drink the remainder of the water, but the latter displayed great repugnance, and only raised the glass to his lips. It was with difficulty that young Dumoulin succeeded in vomiting, and after that he recovered. On the 21 of January, 1848, he had a violent quarrel with his father, and having by this time suspected that his father was poisoning him, he announced his intention of leaving home. In the night of the 11th of January he was affected with a violent thirst, and having risen to procure drink he found a bottle containing wine on the table. Of this wine he partook, and imm•-diately after he was seized with the most horrible pains. He rushed out of the house like a madman, but presently r e t urne d an d took to his bed, where he suffered dreadfully for some time. The curb was called in; he found the tongue of the young man quite black, and the latter told him that the attack had com menced after he had taken the wine. On this the cure observed that Dumoulin, the father, wh ) hai heard what was said, quietly removed the bottle, which was standing on the table, and replaced it by another. This act confirmed the suspicion which had previously entered his mind, that the young man was poisoned by his father. He went home to see by a medical book what should be done in a case of poisoning, and during his absence the father introduced a notary to the son, and caused him to make his will. In a conversation which ensued during the father's absence between the son and his brother in-law the former said that he knew that he was poisoned, and that his father had different descriptions of poison secreted in a certain hole. On the return of the cur' this statement was repeated to him. The priest first of all applied an emetic, and took the precaution of preserving what was vomited ; he then went and took the poison from its hiding-place ; after which he had an analysis made of the matter thrown up by the young man, and, on learning that poison existed in it, had the father ar rested. In addition to these terrible facts against the prisoner it was proved that when in gaol he had confessed to a fellow-pziwner that his intention was to kill his son. When the evidence was concluded the President asked the prisoner if he had anything to say. Ile answered in the negative, and at the same moment, drawing forth a knife, bared his breast, and plunged the weapon into it. Blood having immediately flowed, a cry of horror was uttered by the auditory ; but it appeared that the prisoner was only scratched. The jury declared him guilty, and the Court con demned him to death. On entering the prison the prisoner again attempted to commit suicide by knock ing his head against the wall, but without success. household, and abiding or coming within twelve miles of the palace at Westminster. This court was design ited " The Court of th© King of the Palace of the Kiug at Westminster." According to the letters patent the 26 ' Lord Steward had p ower t o nom i nate and admit " four 1 counsellors to be counsel, and six persons to he at torneys iu the court for the term of the life of every such person, to prosecute and defend the actions, &c." The places were obtained by purchase, and the last -',-; barrister admitted was Mr. .B..st, the Mete ber of 3 Parliament for Kidderminster, who has made h:s claim - E : "); 15 for compensation under the recent Acs . , as well as - the attorneys and other officers belonging to the 6 7 court. Compensation was granted to the officers 112 18 14 when arrest on mesne p 26 27 20 rocess was aboli s hed, an d f ur• 119 20 2 . 1 ther compensati on h as now b een c l a i me d , w hi ch claims are at the prese n t ti me un d er t h e consideration of the 2 3 4 Lords of the Treasury.

'7,28129 At a general cour t- mart i a l assem b led at Lahore, on Friday, the 28th. day of SepteMber, 1849, Major Thomas Cooke, of the 17th Regiment of Native In fantry, was arraigned on the following charges :-- "1. For unoflicer like conduct, especially unbe coming an officer commanding a regiment, in having, at Jugraon and at Mullickpore, in the month of February and March, 1849, played at chess and at cards with Captain L. G. Da Costa, of the 58th Regi ment of Native Infantry for large stakes and bets, in the course of which play he lost to Captain Da Costa the sum of 26,000 rupees, or thereabouts; such conduct being in direct disobediencii of repeated general orders, prohibiting gambling- in the army, viz. general orders by the C ommander-in Chief, dated respectively the 25th of Septem her, 1820, the 16th of August, 1831, and the 26th of' June, 1845. "2. For conduct unbecoming an d officer and a gentleman in having at Mullickpore, about the 17th of March, 1849, and at Lahore, about the 21st of April and 21st of May, 1849, tried to evade the payment of the large sum he had lost to Captain Da Costa, by endeavouring to induce him to accept a much smaller amount on various pr otences, by of fering Captain Da Costa whatever money he, Major Cooke, might win at Simlah in tilt: present year ; and by declaring that he could never pay the whole sum he had lost ; and in having further demurred to pay on account of certain calunaniou.s reports to the prejudice of Captain Da Costa's character, which he, Major Cook e , h a d sprea d a b ou t, f or spreading which he afterwards, about the 23d of May, 1849, apologised to Captain Da Costa. "3. For conduct unbecoming an ofneer and a gen tleman in having, in a letter addressed to the Major of Brigade at Lahore, dated Lahore, _the 21st of J u ly , 1849, given i naccura t e s t a t e ment s of the transaction s between himself and Captain Da Costa, in the follow ing instances : "First--In having, in the said letter, made a false statement in the following words :--‘ Merely as an amusement, we did play together at chess and at cards for one rupee per game, but af‘erwards, whey under excitement, some large bets were made, ending in my having lost 26,000 rupees. This being a larger sum than I could immediately command, I requested Capt. Da Costa to wait till I could draw the money from England, when the debt should be paid ; but he replied that he would prefer half paid down ; and it ended by my giving a bill for 1(1,000 rupees, a buggy and horse, and cash, equalling together 13,000 rupees;' whereas, in truth the parties r layed for large stakes, besides m a ki ng l arge b ets, and Captain Da Costa did not state he would prefer half paid down, neither was any prompt payment offered or agreed to in respect of the greater part of the amount; but he was induced to agree to the special arrangement by Major Cooke declaring, on his honour, that he would never be able to pay more of the debt ;le had incurred than the said sum of 13,000 rupees; and further in duced thereto by Major Cooke retracting and apolo gising for the calumnious reports he httd spread about regarding him. " Second—ln having, in the said latter, disingenu ouily and falsely stated as follows :--` He (Captain DA Costa) then considered his character injured by me, and applied to his commanding officer, who applied to me, and expressed himself in writing per fectly satisfied; but Captain Da Costa was not so, and referred the case to Brigadier Go .by, but subse quently recalled the reference of his own accord ;' thereby insinuating that Captain I)a Costa had no ground for making that complaint; whereas he (Major Cooke) had injured the character of Captain DA Costa, and the commanding officer of the 58th Native Infantry did not express himself satisfied till Major Cooke had expressed his regret; while Captain DA Costa, who still pressed his complaint upon the attention of superior authority, was at length in duced to withdraw it, solely by Major Cooke 's sub sequent retractation of all that he had said to the prejudice of Captain Da Costa, and making an apology For it.

BRISTOL, DEC. 25.—The inquest on the body of William Braund, wbo was shot on Sunday afternoon by Alfred Dauncy, a lad fourteen years of age, was held yesterday afternoon, at the Hope and Anchor, Redcliff hill. The jury having heen duly sworn, and the Coroner having briefly narrated the facts of the case, the following ev id ence was adduced : Henry Coggan, of No. 13, Bishop-street, Brown's road, Bedminster ' deposed that h e was n i neteen years of age. The body he had seen was the body of liam Braund, also about nineteen years of age. He was in the employ of Mr. Gillett, wine -merchant, Redcliff street, and witness was on terms of intimacy with him. On Sunday afternoon, about three o'clock, the deceased called on witness and be went out with him. At about half-past four o'clock they were going over Bedminster- bridge, and another per son was with them named Horgan. Two lads were leaping the iron posts on the bridge; they were the prisoner Dauncy and a lad named Collins. Horgan said to them " Over it," and they turned round and called him " lubberhead" and other names. Witness and his companions walked on to Brown's-road, and the two boys followed, calling them names and abusing them. As they were passing along the Cut, Collins pulled out a life-preserver, and the d e c ease d t o ld hi m he would tell his m o th er of him if he did not be quiet. With that Collins shook the life-preserver at him, threatening he would do for him. The deceased went to catch hold of it, and Collins struck at him with it. A severe struggle took place between them, the deceased endeavouring to take the life-preserver from Collins. The prisoner Dauncy then pulled out a pistol and threatened three or four times that he would shoot the deceased (Braund) with it if he did not let Collins alone. Collins and Braund at this time were struggling on the ground. Braund immediately got up, and Dauncy shot him with the pistol and instantly ran away. Some people tried to stop him, and he flung the pistol at them. He was stopped at the corner of Brownston-yard, in the Cut, and given into the custody of the police. The CORONER—Did he say anything ? Witness—he was sitting on the psvetnent at the iimg, and he said " Let me rest." Witness then went back to Braund and found him supported in the arms of several people. He was bleeding from the mouth very much. He was quite speechless, and was teken to the hospital. The deceased was quite sober, and so was witness ; they had net been into a public-house. Witness bad seen the prisoner three or four times before, but he did not then know his name. He was not aware of any ill feeling existing between Dauncy and the deceased. The lad present in the custody of the police was Dauncy, and he shot the deceased, William Braund. In answer to Mr. Ayre, attorney, who attended to watch the case for the prisoner, the witness said he did not see Dauncy put a cap on the pistol. Mr. Samuel Brown sworn, said he was a ma gistrate of the city o f Bristol. On Sunday after noon, between four and five o'clock, he was at Because the prisoner showed a disposition to pay , as evinced by his attempt to borrow from 18,000 to 20,000 rupees from the North-Western Bank Agency, on the 21st of April, 1849.

Oa the following morning he was found dead in his bed. An (Airco phial, " lan danum," was f oun d upon the floor, and the surgeon was of opinion that the deceased had died from the elfrct of laudanum. The jury returned an open verdict—" That the deceased died trom the eKcts of laudanum, but under what circumstances there was no evidence to show." FATAL ACCIDENT TO A CONVICT. —An accident of a fatal nature was reported by po ice -sergeant W. Urry, 29 R., as having taken place in Woolwich Dock yard, on Monday afternoon, to a convict named William Hart, 60 years of age, who, while engaged at the cordage wharf, was struck by the handle of the crane on which h e was em pl oye d, an d so severely injured, th at although immediately taken to the lUnil6 convict hospital ship to obtain surgical assistance, he died at 9 30 r. on the same day. The accounts from the continental Bourses repre sent an unfavourable reaction in speculation. At Am sterdam, thimburgh, Frankfort, and Berlin, there was an apparent desire to sell both stocks and railway shares, and lower prices were in most cases accepted. D.

Friday next is the last regular court day of the Pa lace Court. Probably it will sit by adjournment on Monday, according to the terms of the Act 12th and 13:h Victoria, chap. 101, and then it will cease and determine. Connected with this court is the Mar shalica Court, and both will pass away on the same day. The Court of the Marshabea at one time held a high place in rani: and dignity, and, as the old writers declare, " there was no court superior to it." It was coeval with the common law and followed the King's person. Even in the reign of Edward VI. it was described as one " of the ancientest courts within the realm." The court was established to administer justice between persons belonging to the Royal household, and the Earl Marshal was the officer to execute the process, when justice was administered by the Lord Steward of the Palace. In modern times very little business was transacted in the Court. With the Palace Court, created by letters patent of the 16th Charles 11., it was very different. The jurisdiction of the Palace Court extended to all persons not of the . --------- , - - / - - v --- / - -- ,- -, -L-- -- .-- ------- . . ~ . . -•••• • • • • : „..4 , - - -..f.: - L• ' , ' , .•..4-.,- ,- : , :i.,-,,', .; l k 111,64, , .

Some of his family said there was a man and a boy fighting. Witness went to the window, and saw the deceased and another boy, not the prisoner, wrestling. He saw them both fall down and get up agein. The prisoner at that time was four or five yards from them, and eppa rently not at all connected with the fight or squabble that was going on, but he saw him walk up to the deceased and fire a pistol. He could not tell from whet part of his person he took the pistol. He saw him present it and fire at the deceased. An immense quantity of Wood immediately afterwards flowed from the mouth of the deceased. Witness saw him s'agger, and ran out inimediat- ly to assist him, and try to catch the prisoner. He directed the body to be tak-n to the hospital. The prisoner's hand was close to the deceased when he fired at him ; he was within a foot or two of him. Witness did not see the decayed touch the pistol. In answer to the Coroner, Mr. Brown added that he was satisfied the deceased did not touch it, and that the pistol did not go off by any accident at all. Thomas Charles Cornish, attorney and brother-in law of the last witness, gave similar evidence, and added that he pursued the prisoner, and saw him given into the custody of the police. He could not exactly identity the prisoner as the boy who fired the pistol ; the thing was done so instantaneously he had no time to have more than a casual glance,. On his way to the station-house the prisoner said he supposed he should be scragged. He also said that the pistol was not loaded with ball, but with shot. After he had arrived at the station house he said he did not know that the pistol would go off. He said something about the pistol being on half-cock, but what it was witness did not hear distinctly. No inducement was held out to him to say this, nor were any threats made to him. The prisoner said he hoped a surgeon had been sent for. Samuel Brown, a lad, 14 years of age, and son of Mr. Samuel Brown, the magistrate, who likewise witnessed the affray from his father's window, cor roborated the former evidence as to the struggle and the prisoner shooting the deceased. He added that he saw the prisoner with his hand down between his legs just before he went up and fired off the pistol. Edward Horgan gave similar evidence to that of the first witness, Coggan, adding that after Collins and Dauncy had called them names, Collins began to spar at witness. He ran towards him, and Collins made off down Coronation -road. He caught him by the railings of Zion Chapel, and struck him twice. When he (witness) was in the act of so doing the prisoner came behind and struck him in the face. Witness then turned round and ran after the prisoner, who pulled out a pistol with a brass barrel, and presented it at him, and Collins pulled out the life preserver and waved it at him. Dauncy presented the pistol and said, " Come on, lam not afraid of you. lam ready for you. I'll have you." Witness replied, "Oh ! never mind. I know both of you, and will let you hear of it to morrow," and walked off. The prisoner and Collins followed jeering and abusing them. The deceased and Coggan had gone on, and they saw nothing of the pistol or the life-preserver at the time. When he rejoined them witness told them what they had beard, and said he did not like to kick up a row on a Sunday. They all then walked on, and stopped at Brown's. The prisoner and Collins followed, and stopped not three yards from them. Witness looked round at them and said, " I will give it to you by-and-by." The deceased also looked towards Collins, and-said, "I'll tell your mother of you, and get something done to you for having that with you." Collins pulled the life-preserver out of his breast and said something, and the deceased rushed at him and laid hold of it. Witness then ran after the prisoner, who wanted to lay hold of the deceased, to make him let go of Collins. The prisoner then pulled out the pistol and presented it at the deceased again, saying, "If he don't let Collins alone I'll shoot him." Wit ness said, " Will you ? " and he replied " Yes, and I'll shoot you too," presenting the pistol again. The prisoner then ran to the other side of witness, put down the pistol between his legs, and cocked it. lie then ran past witness, rushed up close to the de ceased, and fired directly. Witness endeavoured to prevent his getting at the deceased. The prisoner was about a yard and a half from witness when he fired at the deceased. Deceased immediately after wards put his hands to his breast and staggered. A stranger who was pessing stepped up and supported him ; and, assistance having arriv,d, he was conveyed to the hospital, where the house surgeon immediately saw him. He pronounced him dead, and said they had better take him to the nearest public-house. During the whole transaction nothing of an irritating kind was done towards the prisoner, and nothing towards Collins except the seen - le —trying to take the life-preserver from him. In answer to the Coroner, the witness said it was not customary at Bedlninster to carry pistols or life preservers. - Thomas Prow?e, surgeon, deposed that ha lived in Guinea street. The prisoner was in his employ. He understood that he was 14 years of age. His father was a journeyman miller. He saw nothing of the prisoner after twelve o'clock on Sunday. He did not know of his having a pistol in his possession. The inquiry was then adjourned till IVednesday, in order that the pest modern examination might take place, and for the testimony of one more witness, which it is expected will conclude the evidence. The prisoner exhibited the utmost unconcern throughout the whole of the proceedings, staring every witness in the face as he gave his evidence with remarkable effrontery. RAIL WAY INTELLIGENCE. THE CHRISTMAS RAILWAY Taarric.—The recur rence of Christmas-day brought with it an extraordi nary amount of railway traffic, teeming in and out of the chief metropolitan termini. Yesterday the Euston station of the London and North- Western ltailvray was the scene of the same incessant occupation that it has been, either more or less, since Saturday. In front of the station wall, on which was written the different districts or destinations, separate compart ments being assigned for "the City," "Strand," "the Squares," "over the water," " Islington," " East end," " Finsbury," " West-end," " Kingsland," Clerkenwell," &c., at each of these points two or three omnibuses and vans stood in the process of being loaded. The various consignments were checked by the company's clerks, and this having been done, as soon as filled, the thirty or forty conveyances drove off without delay with their deliveries, consisting or barrels of oysters, baskets of fish, fruit, game, and other Christmas presents. The immense contents of the mail and other trains arriving yesterday and on Monday at half past 4 A.m. were disposed of in this manner by 10 o'clock, at which time the station was cleared. On Sunday morning the men remained at work, and the conveyance vans were in all parts of town by nine o'clock. Every care was taken to prevent the labels falling off. The various omnibuses and vans as they went out attracted no small attention, some of them being so piled with packages as to reach up to the second floor windows of the houses. On some there were 200 packages. Policemen were about to pre vent pilfering. On the departure side of the stations extra clerks and porters were employed day and night with the trransrnissions by the trains to the various manufacturing towns, and it is calculated that the number of packages and consignments of all descriptions going " down" the line could not, for the four days, have amounted to less than 20,000, and those coming in to less than 15,000. There were also several hundred waggons of live and dead stock, and a great influx of passengers to and fro was occasioned, the company having issued double journey tickets, :available from Saturday to Wednesday. On the Great Western Eastern Counties and South-Western, the same expeditious system of delivery was adopted, the carrying agents being the same. The number of consignments over the Great Western during the four days is computed at 18,000 " down," and some 8,000 " up." On Saturday the trains on this line are said to have been " tremen dous" with people going in and out of town—the luggage such as had never been seen before, and as though the stay of the parties was intended till next Christmas. Extra carriages had to be put on to the express and ordinary trains. On the Eastern Coun ties an immense tent was constructed for the pur pose, being of a similar perfect description with those at Euston-square, with this addition, that on the arrival side of the line the shoal; of packages were backed out of the trains into the tents, by means of a huge sliding platform, sihile upon the " down" side was a sort of ( - leek, into which the railway carriages were run, and cenveniently loaded on the line with their cargoes. The consignments by this line, taking ir, as it does, the great game and agricultural districts, were immense, more particularly in live and deed stock, which, during the preceding week, were enormous MANCIIENTER, SUEFFIRLD, AND LINCOLNSHIRE.— The dissentient shareholders in this company, who are now endeavouring to get a committee appointed to investigate the affairs of the undertaking, have issued a statement, from which it appears " that the Sheffield and Manchester, the Sheffield and Lincoln shire Junction, th- Sheffield and Lincolnshire Exten sion, the Great Grimsby and Sheffield Junction, ai,cl the Great Grimsby Dock Companies, were incorpo rated together by the 9th and 10th Victoria, cap. 268. The original capital of the company onsisted of 7,000 100/ shares of which, amounting to 700,0004 have - been paid up ; but at the last half -yearly meeting of the company it was stated that the profits would )t admit of a dividend being paid. This has been sed by the great amount of guaranteed stocks, .nich entirely take away the profits from the original shareholders, although the traffic receipts at the present time amount to 4,0001. per week, or 20 8,0001. per annum." The statement then goes on to say that nothing short of thorough and unre stricted investigation into the whole of the affairs of the company will suffice. Appended to the statement is a table, showing that the present stock of the com pany, including 1 ,984,965/. due on debentures, amounts to 5,892,2754, to which, when the arrears of calls and balances are paid up, must be added 1,170,6901., making a total of 7,162 965/. THP. MIDLAND RAILWAY.—D ERBY, TUESDAY.-- A series of strikes of various classes of workmen em ployed by the Midland Railway Company have for some time been pending, and at length the goods guards and porters have ceased work at every prin cipal station, thereby putting an entire stop to the goods traffic throughout the lines. The strike at this station commenced yesterday morning, and was so universal that all the goods shrds were instantly closed, and it was found impossible to collect t gether hauls sufficient to send off even one luggage train, although a great variety of parcels and pack ages, some of whioh contained articles of an extremely perishable nature, required forwarding to their de, ti nations without delay. It seems that this gene ral cessation from labour is owing to the directors' re ducing the wages of ne class of men—the goods guards—from 19i. to 17s. weekly, and of the goods porters from 17s. to 16s. The strike commenced at Nottingham, about a week ago, when four men threw up their situations rather than submit to the re duction. The knowledge of this was immediately communicated to their fellow labourers in every direction and more general strikes followed at Leeds and Bradford, and subsequently at Derby. This morn ing the men still remain way from work, and seem likely so to continue, until the directors restore to them the amount of wages already reduced; and that the litter will be obliged to give way is certain, or toe damage to goods delayed will bring very serious 'oises upon the shareholders. The engine -drivers and firemen, until within the last few days, have also been upon the eve of striking, in consequence of the directors requiring them to travel three journeys at the same rate of wages they have hitherto received for two journeys ; but they were too unanimous amongst themselves to be forced to submit to the new terms. They are 203 in number, and all, except three, would have struck within six hours, had not the company consented to allow the old engagements to remain in force. As soon as danger from the pending strike appeared to be over, Mr. G. P. Paget brought down a number of new men to displace the ringleaders ; but their comrades were true to their friends, and threatened to leave in a body at a moment's notice if even one were dismissed for taking part in the movement. The consequence has been that not one man has been discharged. Mr. G. B. Paget, in addressing the men, urged upon them to accept the reduction, the very low price of provisions well enabling them to do so; and he promised, if they would, that, as the price of food rose at any future time, he would see that their rate of remune ratio❑ was increased. WONDERFUL STORY. The following most extraordinary story is related by the Paris correspondent of the Independant of Brussels, in a letter dated the ]4th inst.:—" A few months ago one of the most charming hotels of the new quarter of the Champs Elysees was occupied b: Count R—, an ex-foreign diplomatist, the Countee. It and their d aug ht er . Th e C ount is about 1 : years of age, his wife 25, and the daughter 6 ai .Cp7eri;! R. received a great d ea l o f company, m cularly foreigners of distinction, in censtquem r i„ , his nationality, and the acquaintances that he ee _ made in his different embassies. The young Cotflows was a great favourite for her beauty and her as.ears plishtnents. Notwithstanding the difference i rn i n. age of the Count and his wife, their conjugal Wit the a perfect model of propriety and dignity. an d Countess, it appears, had little fortune before p r y er riage. The Count, who was the friend of the family, had married her as much on accounel e his admiration of her merit as of the desire a n . he felt, being the last of his race, to dispose 1 _ his property in favour of a family that he esteemce, Such was the general position of things as it has been certified to me. In the month of September last the Count receives, from a capital in the north of Europe, a letter from a priest, entreating him to come Si Ws as possible to the death bed of the um:her of the Countess, and he was strictly enjoined to cone alone. l'he Count, although much surprised, complied with the request, and concealed it front the Countess in order to spare her feelings He arrived at —in sullicieht time to receive from the mouth of his ex piring mother in Isw a levee painful and sad avowal —u confession enjoined without doubt by the priest as a condition of reconciliation with God. Here my task as a narrator becomes difficult and ddicate. I must leave the reader to suppose what the confession was. The dying person was of about the same age as the Ceuta, and had married an old man. At his d, bit in the diplomatic career he Count had p3sied several years in that capital, where he had formed an intimate acquaintance with the family of the lady. At length, to his great regret and that of the B ironess G--, he changed his resi dence, and during 18 years rose successively in diplo matic functions. At the end of this period he ref ui tied as an ambassador. The Baroness was a widow with a very little fortune, and the prospects of I - er daughter were therefore by no means brilliant. The Count offered his hand to the daughter, and the mother, d izzled by the advantages which would result to her from this alliance, gave a guilty assent. The marriage took place, but the mother, fom a caprice, as the Count supposed at the time, stipulated that he and his wife should go and reside in another country. They went to Italy, where they remained until the recent revolutions broke cut, and then they visited Paris. The nature of the cruel confession made by the dying woman to the Count to save her soul from per dition by absolution may be divined. The guilty mother died pardoned by the Count, but the man, who had once loved her, received such a shock that from this moment he resolved never to see his wife again, or the fruit of this fatal marriage. IL! availed himself of the pacification of Italy to return, and went straight to Mount C as i no t o so li cit an asylum from the Benedictine monks of St. John. The Countess learned at the same time the death of her mother, and the strange disappearance of her husband. Soon afterwards she received some papers for the re gulation of her fortune, as the definitive documents of a separation for which no motive was stated. We may judge of what passed in the mind of this young and charming woman, who was at once an orphan and almost a Widow, without being able to comprehend the causes of a separation, or knowing where her husband was. She iii a glued at first that she was the victim of some atrocious calumny, but, knowing her innocence, she resolved to seek out the true cause. Last month she decided on visiting the foreign capital where her mother died, and there the unfortunate Countess learned everything—how is not known. Suddenly her daughter, the little angel admired by all who knew her, became odious to the mother, and ere long the Countess became insane. Last week the furni ture of her hotel was sold by auction, and a report was current that Mdlle. Alboni had purchased the hotel, but I do not know what truth there is in the report. The unfortunate Countess has a brother, it is said, in the service of one of the Princes of the north, and a notary of Paris is stated to have directed the sale by his orders. As to Count It—, it is supposed that he intends to become a monk." THE SANDWICH ISLAND PRINCES.--We announce in our American intelligence the arrival here, by the Canada, of the Hon. G. P. Judd, Minister to his High ness the King of the Sandwich Islands, accompanied by Alexander Lihihiho, heir presumptive to the Hawaiian throne, and his brother Lot Kamehamheha. The object of Mr. Judd's visit to the United States and Europe at this period, has reference to the late outrage of the French at the Sandwich Islands. The King is uncle to the Princes, and the object of the latter in visiting Europe is purely one of observation. The two young gentlemen, who, from their exterior and manners, are fully entitled to the name, aro brothers, about seventeen and six:eon years of age. They speak English thoroughly, with pleasing cor rectness, giving every evidence of good manners and education. The youngest is named Alexander Lihihiho, who has been destined and selected by his uncle, the King of the islands, to:succeed him on his throne should he himself die childless. This, however, is but a remote probability, as he is married, and is only 34 years of age. Two children whom he has already had have died. The largest of the islands aver which the King reigns is Owhybee where Captain Co, k was killed. The chief city is Honolulu, which contains about 10,000 inhabitants, and is becoming a plsee of great commercial importance., titieg a sort of hell way house between Valparaiso or Lima and Sin F,arcisco, from which latter place it is distant by sea about 2 400 mil. s. The two Princes have been rec , :rv. d at Ne.v York with becoming dignity and attenti ,, n, ind they will u,s doubt meet in this country with similar rcspect.—Liver • pool Standard.
