MURDER OF - MR. "UNIX. DEC. 3.—Another murder has just.taken place in 'Tipperary, of Michael Hanky, of Greenhall, who was shot in the abdomen irr his own house, and, died in a :'ew hours after. The case is so complete in all its parts As an illustration of Tipperaiy_Thuggery, that we give it at full, as detailed in the 'Wenctp;le Guardian of this . day: • • ' " On Wednesday 'dea f between the hours of six and seven o'clock, a middle-sized stout-looking man, wrapped in a whitish frieZe riding coat, came. to the house of Michael Manly, .of Greenhall, and asked the way to a neighbouring townland. Manly and his wife were sitting at the fire, and the latter said she did not know where it was ; but the husband stood up and approached the door, when the strange man advanced a few paces, presented a gun, and hav ing ordered him to stand back, discharged its contents at him, exclaiming at - the saixie time, with a growl of fiendish exultation, " Tak a th a t." thinly sta gge red to the fire, and fell to the'ground, crying that he was killed. The man stool at the door, watching the mo tions of his victim before he departed. The wife rushed out distracted to a house that was within a hundred yards of her, crying for help; but when she came near it was so assailed with stones that she was obliged to retire. She then ran to a relative's house, which was at a much greater distance. When she re turned she found her husband ,in a most appalling condition ; three balls hattentgred_ the lower part of his belly, and from one orthe wounds his intestines were protruding. lie lingered in a state of most ex cruciating torture, calling out at times for a knife to cut away his belly entirely, until one o'clock yes terday morni ng , w h en d eat h term i nated his sufferings. There is no clue to his murderer, neither is there any I ikelihood of it, for the night was exceedingly dark, and the house situated at a distance from the road. thinly met his dreadful fate on account of land which he took from Mr. White, of Greenhall, and from which some refractory tenants had been ejected. About six months ago the tongue was cut out of a horse belonging to him, and the obser vation which fell from the lips of one of the sympathisers, in the hearing of a policeman, was, we understand, that "it was a pity that it was not out of himself it had been cut.' At a more recent period a large party of men came at night into his potatoe field, and pulled up the stalks, and trampled so on them as to render them useless to him. For this outrage he put in a presentment at the last road sessions Of Newport for 15/., which was granted. On the afternoon of Friday an inquest was held on the body, but nothing was elicited beyond what we have already stated, w►th the exception that there was a guard placed on the house to which the distracted wife ran fur assistance. The owner of it, Michael Ryan, &posed that two shots were fired at the door in about fifteen minuted after the discharge of the one that proved fatal to llanly." MAY YOU LIKE IT. By the Rev. C. B.

The show of prize cattle for the present year pro mises to exceed, both in number and quality, that of any preceding exhibition. The arrangement of the various animals into classes was completed at a late hour yesterday afternoon, under the superintendence of Mr. Gibbs, the Secretary. The Judges were to assemble at the Horse Bazaar at an early hour this morning:, and immediately proceed to award prizes to the successful competitors, the public exhibition com mencing t)-morrow. The Earl of Warwick, Lord Spencer, and the Duke of Richmond are among the Nobility who have contributed specimens, while the ran&e of exhibitors in the middle cla ss o f farmers in cludes several names not-previously famili ar as b ree d ers of stock.

Two of therregained - prizes , last year at the Edinbur g h A gr i cu lt ura l Meeting- M:r.-Alford, of Friskeny, Lincolnshire, has the merit of contribut ing the largest ox this year. It is of the Lincoln shire short-horn breed, five years and six months old, and has a most colossal appearance even among the noble animals by which it is surrounded. The Earl of Warwick has a very fine ox in Class 1. This animal was bred on his Lordships estate at AVarwick Castle, and is considered one of the finest in the exhi bition. .It was fed on hay and turnips. A beautiful milk-white ox, aged three years and four months, fed by Mr. Crisp, of Gedgriff Hall, near Orford, Nor folk, is also very much admired. The exhibition in cludes many Scotch oxen, fed in England; and Mr. Elliott, of East Ham, contributes a very extraordi nary animal of the Highland breed, not, it is be lieved, in the hope of securing a prize, but as a lulus naturee. The animal alluded to is a heifer, five years old, and only 29 inches high; it is in excellent condi tion, and although somewhat dwarfish in appearance, bears no mark of defortnity. The exhibition of sheep and pigs includes some very remarkable specimens, and the arrangements for the`comfort of visitors have never before been made in so perfect a manner.

A Chartist meeting took place yesterday evening (Sunday) in the Old Bailey, when a resolution was moved to the effect that 10,000 small hand-bills should be printed, giving notice to the persons amongst whom they were distributed where the Chartist meetings were held, that the public might be forthwith informed of its miserable condition, and instructed how to make it a happy one; also that there should be prepared, at the same time, 2,000 little boards, bordered with flowers, and of coloured paper, to hang up in public houses with the same intent. Owing to lack of funds, an amendment was moved that the number of bills should be reduced to 5,000, and the boards to 500 ; when a division took place, and the question Is to be discussed next Sunday.

ADVERTISEMENTS INSERTED in ALL THE THREE PAPERS, Morni n g, Noon, and Night, thereby insuring a TOWN and COUNTRY CIRCULATION, at ONE CHARGE. , . , SUGAR DUTIES. The Jamaica papers give the proceedings at the opening of the Legislative Assembly, on the 25th of October. Petitions had been pre sented to the Assembly from the parishes of St. David's and Westmoreland against the present heavy burdens ; and it was supposed that the tax upon real estate would be considerably reduced. The Gover nor bears testimony to the tranquil state of the colony, and it is allowed that the complaints about the want of labour had gradually subsided. The most impor tant statement, however, is that, owing to the large increase in the exports of the staples this year, and the anticipation of still further increase in the amount of the coming crops, that the agriculturists of Ja maica are willing that the Government should deal with the sugar duties, merely securing a certain amount of protection. This statement is made in the Morning Journal of the 3d November, with an addendum, that the question was expected to form the subject of discussion in the Assembly, and that if the debate should should take place the result would be published in a separate column, under the head " Bu siness of the House." On referring to that head of our Contemporary, we find " the appointment of a Committee to memorialise the Queen not to give her sanction to the admission of foreign sugar to the home consumption, without establishing such a differential duty as will give due protection and encouragement to the sugar growers of the British Wrest India colo nies." That Committee was appointed in consequence of a message sent down by the Governor from Lord Stanley, in which the Secretary of State says that— " In abstaining from proposing any alteration in the sugar duties, her Majesty's Government have been mainly influenced by the present circumstances of the West Indies, in reference to the recent abolition of slavery, and by the apprehension lest by stimulating the production of sugar in countries in which slavery conti nues to exist, the evils of slavery in those countries should be aggravated, and the trade in slaves encouraged." On this message the Morning Journal remarks : " Here we may be permitted to inquire how far it may be proper to meet the views of the Government by demanding not the continuance of the present dis criminating duties, but the imposition of such a duty on foreign sugar as will afford us fair protection." There is evidently a disposition to yield the ground hitherto occupied in this respect, and to take up a new position. Mr. Thomson's motion will bring this mat ter under discussion in the House, and determine the course that will be pursued on this important point. "It is a question which materially affects the agri culturists, and they are called upon to give it mature consideration. This movement in our Legislature vill be xegarded with interest in the mother country, and the Government will perceive that the disposition exists to meet their views, in so far as it is practi cable to do so." The origin of all this movement is the dispatch of Lord Stanley of the 28th of May, in answer to an address from the House of Assembly to the Queen, against the admission of foreign sugar into the mother country. Aftdr stating that he had laid this address before her Majesty, his Lordship adds—" I have to request that your Lordship (Lord Elgin) would direct the attention of the Assembly to the tariff now under the consideration of Parliament, so far as relates to the important articles- of sugar and coffee, and that you would point out to them that her Majesty, although desirous of relieving the labouring classes of her subj ects, by a material reduction of the duties on coffee, has not disregarded the interests of the colonial planter." His Lordship then states that " although the duty on foreign coffee is proposed to be lowered to Bd. per lb., yet this rate of duty will give to colonial coffee a larger protection than is af forded by the existing law." Then follows the para graph above quoted, explanatory of the reasons which bad hitherto induced her Majesty's Government to abstain from proposing any alteration in the sugar duties. So "now the murder is out, and the West India ;planters are preparing to set their house in order with becoming grace and resignation. This dispatch of my Lord Stanle ✓ y to the G overnor o f J ama i ca i s a fit fellow to his dispatch of the 2d of March last, to Sir Charles_Bagot. The latter was preparatory to the introduction of a measure which would admit corn into British ports from the United States, via Canada, at a maximum duty of .ss. per quarter, and the former is to . herald the introduction of another measure for removing the prohibitory duties now levied on the sugars of Brazil and Cuba, and ad mitting them for home consumption in the Mother country. These are all encouraging prognostics to the friends of free trade ; but it is for those who voted against the reduction of the Sugar Duties proposed last session by Mr. Labouchere (a reduction in favour both of foreign and plantation sugars), to square their conscience so as to support the coming Bill to alter the said duties, in accordance with the new light that has dawned upon the views of the West India agriculturists. If the admission of fo reign sugar to home consumption, in the summer of l al , slavery ex i t s h t e s, production uscot. encouraged oof sugar in B4 c 2 olin l‘ t '° ri u e l s d havewhere slave trade, it will be difficult to show h ow th e same effect will not be produced from the sam e cause, stimulated s in the summer of 1843. The whole trick i s p a l pa bl e In every one thing they do the present Government steal more or less from their predecessors whom they drove from office. The only sweetener th ey h ave for in their change of opinion regard to sugar is the hope of some promises being extracted from Brazil regard ing the amelioration of their slaves by the mission of Sir Henry or Mr. Ellis. It is stated, indeed, that the new scale of duties has been agreed upon with Brazil. To crown all, Lord Stanley avows himself must \ e l i e ur . s. t LaboucherebNNe i oert both. o r t t h h . h o e s e ldn s o t e i a c 3 c n e d osestsopsrtasat state, and his colleagues to he di sc ipl es o f H us ki sson and bu it o his t r donSey successors(ol e f i l a e n n or to Lord Elgin, of date the 30th of July last, the Secretary of State for the Colonies makes the fol lowing bold ministerial avowal in favour of free trade : TRADE BETWEEN RUSSIA AND CHINA. As whatever may tend to throw light on the direc tion taken hitherto by the foreign commerce of China cannot fail to possess additional interest under:actual circumstances, the following statement of the trade carried on with Russia, derived from official sources and not before published, to the latter date at least, may be acceptable to commercial and statistical readers. It is generally taken for granted that the whole of the commercial transactions between Russia and China are operated at the great annual gathering of the merchants and dealers of the two nations at Kiakta at the southern central extremity of the government of Irkoutek, part of what is officially termed the kingdom of Siberia, and confining with the Chinese frontiers and vast wastes of Mongolia. It will be found, however, that a traffic of growing, though at present of no great extent, has gradually been established, however indirectly, along other parts of the Siberian line, and by sea in the ports .of Southern Russia. According to ancient and special compact between the two empires, 'however, the traffic, which is strictly limited by conditions to one of simple barter, or mutual interchange of com modities, from the liquidation or facilitating of which all monetary agency, whether of gold, silver, or paper instruments of value are carefully excluded on each side, should be strictly limited to Ki a kt a . Th us the singular spectacle is presented of a trade by pure barter, so that whatever increase or diminution of de mand exists on the one side must necessarily be balanced, as nearly as possible by a corresponding movement on the other, so far as the authorised in. tercourse of that particular and privileged spot. It will be perceived that the exchange imports from .China consist almost wholly of tea. The total values of exports and imports by way of Kiakta are thus given in official documents for the two years 1839 1840 respectively : 1339. 1840. Exports by way of Kiakta Silver Roubles. into China 9 ,26 9 ,416 2,287,222 Imports into, from China . 2,474,422 2,493,669 For the better intelligence of the Russian values referred to, it may be added that the silver rouble is equal to 37d. sterling, and the Russian pood to 361bs. avoirdupois as generally calculated, although in reality nearly li ounce over. A large proportion of the export exchanges of Russia consists of furs and skins, partly the produce of Russia herself; and partly derived from the traffic with the Nomadic tribes of the steppes on the fron tiers of the Governments of Orenburg and Siberia. The quantities and value of Russian manufactured goods which enter into the total amount of these ex ports, and the nature of which will be of more in terest here, are thus given : Silver Roubles.

Until: 1840, the financial accounts of the empire were kept' and reckoned exclusively in the paper, or rouble as-ii signation money; in that year an order was issued toi calculate and keep them in future according to the' silver rouble standard.

The trade is almost entirely carried on for account of the enterprising merchants of Moscow, and its profits serve greatly to enrich them.—Herald. FALMOUTH.—IMPORTATION OF SPANISH CATTLE. —On Tuesday last a large brig, called the William and Ann, of Newcastle, from Corunna, bound for Southampton, w as brought into this harbour by a Plymouth pilot boat, by which she had been fortu nately fallen in with off Plymouth, having lost her foremast and sustained other damage which rendered her unmanageable, in which state she had been about ten days. She leftfitCorunna on Sunday, the 13th November, and at three o'clock the following morning lost her mast in a heavy gale. She had on board eighty head of Spanish oxen, and the state in which they arrived was truly lamentable. From the severity of the weather the hatches could not be opened; from the rolling of the vessel those stowed between decks were thrown through the hatchways upon those below, and f rom want o f a i r an d necessaries, together with the injuries they received, fifty-one were dead, and several of them remaining alive died after being landed. The carcases when landed on the quay on Wednesday were in a putrid state, and were sold to Mr. Lanyon, tanner, at 255. each. It is said that the owner of the cargo, who is a butcher at South ampton, will not recover the insurance, which he would have done had the bullocks been thrown over board; but the crew had quite as, much as they could do to keep the vessel from foundering, she having been for some time on her beam ends. The pilots were paid 501. for bringing the vessel in. One of the sur viving oxen immediately on being landed spread ter ror all around. He broke away with part of the tackling by which he was hoisted out of the vessel, and evinced a determination to clear the wharfs of the crowds which occupied them ; a considerable number being children. He soon traversed the length and breadth of the town, and was ultimately caught by means of ropes thrown over his horns. Fortunately in j ury.—Sherborne and Yeovil no person received any Mercury.

I I / 'TURNBULL ; AND THt 93- THORITIES OF CUBA. • ,We have received the following communication from the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society : "Nassau, N.P., Bah amas , N ov.s, 1542.: "DgAit. 8114—Being assured that you will feel an interest in the movements of any who are :enizged, whether officially •or otherwise, in seeking to break the' iniquitous bonds of Slavery, and thus:remove from the earth an evil which is more of an unrningi n ed curse, perhaps, than any that can be naMed," I tae the liberty of troubling you with this communication. There are evils, and great ones, that have some.gopd arising froin them, but slavery is au evil sui gederisl— a tree bearing none hut deadly fruit under its - thick shades. The servant is made a beast, and the Master a monster. " The name -of Turnbull you may perhaps be fami liar with. It is a name that deserves to be known and respected. He was our Consul at Havannahl* a short time,Government and was n o di scre dit t o t h e by horn he was appointed. Proving himself the enemy of injustice and the friend of the oppressed,,iie was not the sort of official the Spaniards wanted, and hence the pro-slavery , clamour for his removal. 'So strong, indeed, was the current of feeling against him at"Havannah, that he deemed it unsafe to remain on shore, and sought refuge on board the Romney, the depot for captured Africans lying in the harbour. He was superseded in his office as Consul, but retained that of ' Protector of liberated Africans.' The fide lity with which he discharged the functions of this important office is proved by the continued and in creased enmity of the man -stealing and slave-dealing Spaniard. " In August last Mr. Turnbull visited Nassau. He had received from our Government an official paper respecting some British subjects held in slavery in Cuba, who had been carried thither in direct contra vention of an Act that had passed the English.Parlia meat for the purpose of preventing the exportation, of slavei to a foreign port or country. The intent of the Act was clearly obvious, but one section not bein g so declaratory as it s h ou ld have been, these men (the slave-owners), always distinguished for works of supererogation, availed themselves of the defect! in the letter most flagrantly to violate the spirit of the law. At different times, therefore, hundreds of slaves were removed to Cuba, where they, or their descend ants, still are. • • "Immediately after Mr. Turnbull's arrival here'lle commenced his inquiries, in order to learn who had been carri e d away , an d by whom. A large number of persons appeared to give evidence, some of whom had children there, others parents, brothers, and sisters. Some had themselves been there, and could give the names of fellow-slaves, whom they left, and who are now groaning beneath the iron yoke. It was proved but too clearly, that a gentleman, holding an office in the Court of Vice-Admiralty, had British subjects as slaves on his estate at Cuba. Mr. Turnbull, thinking that he should be able to identify them, and obtain their liberation, or if not all some one or two who would extend and increase the evidence already supplied, and hoping, too, to be able to visit several islands of the colony from which people had been carried, and thus collect more facts ' left Nassau in the beginni ng o f the month of O c t o ber. On the 16th of the month they reached Gibara. The sloop did not enter the harbour until Mr. I'. had been e t p shore and ascertained from the proper officer if she might do so, to which he at once assented. Accordingly the sloop entered and was moored, but the crew were not to be allowed to come on shore. lir. Turnbull was about to procure the usual securities for the crew, but the officer, o: commandant, told him that there was no necessity for his being at the trouble of getting securities, for that lie himself would be answerable for them. But all these movements were preconcerted, for they had been apprised by some at Nassau of his coming, and of all that lie had done. here. " Mr . . Turnbull had to go sixty miles inland to visit the estate. He obtained a horse and was accompanied by three military men. He soon found that he was a prisoner, and not at liberty to go where he chose. He was taken before the Governor of the district, where his passport was demanded, which he produced, and this, contrary to all inter na ti ona l l aw , was ta k en alto - - gether from him, and my informant tells me that it was only by showing the firmest determination that he obtained a copy of it. " No sooner had Mr. T. left the harbour than the commandant, with his soldiers, boarded the sloop, and made the crew prisoners. The next day Mr. T.'s valet, the captain, and the pilot, were taken on shore and put into the stocks. The day following the rest of the crew were taken from the sloop and imprisoned. Two days were these innocent men, British subjects, confined in a filthy narrow cell, knowing the want of both bread and water. On Mr. Turnbull's return from the interior he was made acquainted with the perfidy of the commandant, and, on his evincing deep feeling for the unoffending crew, the officials grinned satisfaction at their sufferings. " Mr. Turnbull's valet had with him a large num ber of books; most, indeed all of them, were religious, except an English gr ammar ; h e had also a large number of Spanish tracts, which he had received from the Baptist mission at Nassau • also a Bible and a Companion to the Bible. All these they took away and still retain. • * " Mr. Turnbull, when the sloop was sent away from Cuba, was then in the hands of the Spanish au thorities, who were about to take him to Ilavannah to subject him to an examination, and to deal with him accordingly. Some of the old slave-owners at Nassau, lam told, were overjoyed at the good news of his captivity, and his friends are thinlc]ng of the possible issue with anxious feeling ; but 111 r. T. was confident that be should be at Nassau about three weeks from . that date, Oct. 25. " I shall be happy, if at Nassau when he returns, to give other and further particulars of this daring outrage on the liberty,of British subjects, and on an agent of the British Government. Surely these blustering slave-owners—these people long notorious for iron-heartedness, treachery, and faithlessness—wil not be permitted to insult an accredited officer eF a mighty people with impunity. " Some indemnification ought to be made to the crew for their ten days' suffering in their dark and filthy cell, during a part of which time their feet were made fast in the stocks. The offer of a thousand dol lars a day, the Captain of the sloop declared in my hearing, should not induce him to visit Gibara " am, Sir, Signed)_' CAPERN, Baptist Missionary."

TILE LONDON JOINT-STOCK BANK EMBEZZLE. • MENT.—It is remarkable, that the fact of Jordm laving absconded with a large sum of money, the ,property of the London Joint-Stock Bank, was known throughout the United Kingdom, and a considerable portion of the Continent, within the almost incredible space of forty-eight hours after the occurrence of the event. This rapid spreading of the information is mainly attributable to the exertions of the Manager of the Bank, who, it seems, on missing Jordan, diately forwarded the particulars of the robbery to .all; the principal banking-houses and merchants in Eng. land, Ireland, Scotland, and on the Continent.

GOOD NEWS.—The recent news from China has put fresh life into many of our spinners and manu facturers. A very large mill, &c., in the vicinity of Manchester, and which cost the proprietor 120,0001., after standing still some three or four years, has this week been taken, with the view to commence work ing it without delay. It will require about 1,000 hands in the various departments. So great has the depression of this kind of property been, that the entire was conveyed to the mortgagee, who had a claim for 25,0001. for the small sum of 28,0001.—n0t one-fourth its original cost, and though the machinery is said to be excellent!—Liverpool Chronicle. A WIFE KILLED BY HER HUSBAND.—On Sunday last, a tragical event took place at North Gullum Farm, in the parish of North Owersby, near Market Rasen, Lincolnshire. A labourer, of the name of Britcliffe, had some angry words with his wife, when in a moment of passion he first beat her with a leath ern belt, and then brutally kicked her on the lower pare of the body. The unfortunate woman, who was far advanced in pregnancy, survived this ill-treatment but a few hours. An inquest was held on the de ceased on Monday last, before Mr. Morris, the Coroner, and on a post mortem examination of the body by Mr. Smith and Mr. Hutchinson, of Caistor, surgeons, and after a long and patient investigation, the jury re turned a verdict of " Manslaught er '." and Ifrit c liff e has been committed t o th e Castle under the Coroner's warrant for trial at the next assizes.
