Among the candidates admitted was the Mar quis of Drogheda. There is every reason to believe that the Judgeship in the Court of Review, vacant by the death of Sir John Cross, will not be filled up. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. GLOBE.—The Times denounces the tactics of the party in Opposition as flagrantly dishonest, for re presanting repeal of the Corn ,laws as " a panacea for all the evils incident to a densely-peopled country." This alleged dishonesty it compares with the former alleged dishonesty of the same party, as having re presented Reform as a like panacea in times past. That the Whigs did put forth Parliamentary Reform as a necessary measure twelve years back, is un deniable. That they do put forth Corn-law Reform as now necessary, is equally so. The question of honesty or dishonesty must depend on whether those measures were and are necessary or no. To pretend that a party with whose general principles such or such measures are conformable, is not to cultivate the popularity which the state of the times may attach to those mea sures, for fear of becoming powerful enough to compel their opponents to, pass them ; or let them pass—is simply to pronounce that only one party should exist in the State ; and that the party which writes on its banner resistance to popular measures. Popular measures may be right or wrong; but the rule would be highly convenient for Conserva tism, if the mere fact that certain great measures are susceptible of becoming popular ones, were to debar an Opposition from espousing, and making them its watchword. The whole question, as we have said already, is—whether the measures are right or wrong. It must be evident that the Conse rvative party, so far as it merits its title, will avoid the reproach of laying itself out for popularity in its measures. Its constituents are the great classes of the country who desire to keep things es they are ; and its function is, to act us a drag on the wheels of political movement. We are far from saying that this function is one which no party should per form. We are far from saying that the principle of movement—of innovation—should constantly main tain the ascendant, or can do so in this country, with out faster and further changes than the chiefs of either party would promote, supposing them adverse to entire social and political revolution with all its chances. It is needless to say that, so long as arts , tocracy, whether Whig or Tory, supplies chiefs to political parties, they must be adverse to such a re volution. Thus, then, the chiefs of the section of public men professing the more popular principles, will, ever and anon, subject themselves to the reproach opposite to that above mentioned. They will be re proached with shirking, not with seeking, the popu larity attached to such or such measures. Here, as before, the whole question is, Are such or such mea sures right or wrong? It is idle to abuse any party, for that which is a necessity of its nature. It is idle, for instance, to abuse the Conservatives (except in the way of business) for being Conservatives—for being the party of resistance to popular innovations. It is not less idle to abuse the Whigs for being the party which leans towards innovations—a leaning necessarily limited by what is aristocratical in its composition. STANDARD.—The present state of the civilised world requires, that if Great Britain is to maintain her position, she must bestow more attention and mere favour upon the colonial trade than it has yet received at her hands. Twenty-seven years of peace have had the necessary effect of accumulating capital and augmenting population in all reasonably well governed nations. Redundant capital (we mean redundant as to the existing means of employing it) , and an augmented population suggest new depart ments of industry. These can be generally found only in manufactures ; hence the manufacturing spirit that we see extending in Europe and in the United States—slowly, indeed, at present, but not less certainly. For many years to come our own industry need not fear the effect of this rivalship, unless we shall he mad enough, by repealing our Corn-laws, to transfer a flood of capital and to stimulate population ; but we must expect that what has happened in Eng land will happen sooner or later elsewhere, and that the time will arrive when Great Britain shall be de pendent for the employment of her wealth and people upon her maritime commerce and her colonial markets ; and the present is the time to prepare for such a state of things. At present, however, the colonists and other dependents of the British empire are not rich enough to purchase ; if they were, the trade of Continental Europe and of the United States would not be worth a moment's thought. It is the business of the Government and Legislature to make the colonists rich. A very early, if not an immediate, change may be effected in this respect by wise measures ; and to say truth, the United States, and most of the European States, seem inclined to force us to such measures. But whether the enrichment of the colonies be early or late, time is not to be counted in the duration of an empire as in " the hour-glass of one man's life." It is our duty to provide for posterity, as our fathers have provided for ua ; and we have the higher motive to perpetuate the power and influence of a nation which Heaven manifestly seems to have selected as the ark of rational liberty and of religious truth. Our attention has been di rected to the subject of these remarks by two articles, very different, indeed, in their spirit and in the degree of talent which they display, but both bearing upon the colonial trade. The first of the articles in question appears in a Whig-Radical Evening Journal, in the form of an attack upon the arrangement for the admission of corn from Ca nada, viz., upon the payment of a duty of 3s. the quarter of wheat, and sic de ccet.—(provided that the Canada Legislature shall impose a duty of ss. the quarter upon all wheat imported from the United States). This our Whig-Radical Contempo rary treats as a departure from the principle of the Corn-laws, and an unjustifiable surrender of revenue to the colonists. As regards the surrender of revenue to the colonists we need say little. Even were our Corn-laws designed for the purposes of revenue—pur poses emphatically disclaimed by every one of her Ma jesty's present Ministers—we think we have said enough to show that no such surrender of re venue to a struggling colony can be too liberal. With regard to the alleged violation of the prin ciple of the Corn-laws, it is a manifest absurdity. The principle of the Corn-laws is a principle of pro tection from ruinously low prices, produced by the competition of foreign grain ; and if the farmer has this protection, it must be to him a matter of indiffer ence how it is obtained—whether the rival is excluded by a protecting city, by the cost of land transit and freight, or by any other cause. Now, the corn im ported from Canada, if it come from the United States, must pay a duty of Bs. the quarter plus the cost of transit across the colony to a British port and the freight across the Atlantic. And what is still more important, it must come from a district where, gene rally, prices are within a few shillings as high as they are in England, and where they are sometimes higher. The arrangement, therefore, really threatens no danger from the United States corn via Canada. To the colony, however, such an arrangement is all important. Canada sometimes imports corn from the United States, but much more frequently exports to the States. To seal the frontier against her would be to destroy the most valuable branch of the industry of the rising province : hut Canada also exports to England. how ever,With- out some ex t p h o e rt fre t e r d ad om e o o f f E the g a S n t d a t e out some arrang emen t suc h as h as b een made, s wouldf ro n n i i e r e ff a e n e d t open that road for United States corn to the British market, which is pretended to be open with a duty of Ss. A graduated scale, though practicable enough at home, c ou ld not possibly be applied to Canada. The only thing that coal be done is what has been done. - Without this w e must either close the trade between Canada and the States ' or deprive Canada of the advantage of the export trade to England, either of which privations would ruin the colony. So much for the Whig-Radical's complaint. QUEEN'S BENCH—(THIS DAY.) (Continued from our Afternoon Edition.) THE CLARENCE RAILWAY COMPANY V. THE GRBAT NORTH OF ENGLAND, CLARENCE AND HARTLEPOOL RAILWAY COMPANY. This was an issue directed by the Court of Chan cery to be tried in order to ascertain the opinion of the Judges of this Court as to the construction of va-. rious Acts of Parliament authorising the construction of the tworailways. The defendants claimed aright to cross the plaintihs' railway at a level, contending that they had the power .so to do by their, the defendants' Act of Parliament. The plaintiffs denied the right, con tending that there were clauses in defendants Act saving all the plaintiffs rights, and the defendants had merely a permission, not a compulsory poweri to enter on plaintiffs' railway. The Court of. Chancery had directed this fictitious action for trespass. to be brought, and a justification to be; pleaded, and the plea to be demurred to so as to enable the parties ultimately to carry the case by way of appeal to the House of Lords, ,by which tribunal the case will be ultimately decided, as it is admitted on all hands that the question involves little less then the existence of one of the two Companies. It was stated that if the decision should be adverse to the defendants this railway would be rendered useless. Mr. TuomfaNsoN . argued the case for the defend ants, and The SOLICITOR-GENERAL for the plaintiffs. The arguments were purely of a technical nature, turning entirely upon the construction to be placed upon ap-: parently contradictory sections of the same Act of Parliament. The COURT took time to consider its judgment. EXCHEQUER.—(THIS DAY.) (Continued from our Afternoon Edition.) In the course of the day the Court intimated that they should on Thursday next proceed to take the. new trial paper, in the cases in which rules had been granted. LEVY V. FYEE. This was an action upon a promissory note of Count . D'Orsay's, to the amount of 4201., ma d e p a y a bl e to i s ri Messrs . ven e rs : It iYn e and Richards, solicitors a n d money appeared that the bill on its arrival at TIRE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 11, 1842, maturity had been dishonoured ; upon -which the plaintiff, who is a Sheriff's officer, and an extensive bill , discounter, issued process, and ultimately obtained judgment. After various negotiations between the parties, the plaintiff consented to take the present bill in lieu of judgment ; and it was to recover the amount of this bill that the action was now brought. The allegation on the part of the defendants was, that the bill had been signed by the defendant Pyne without the authority of his partner Richards. Mr. Platt and - Mr. Humfiies appeared for the plaintiff's, and Mr. Kelly for the defendants. Two sons of the plaintiff proved that there had been various bill transactions between their father and the defendants, and that Pyne had frequently attached to those bills the name of the firm. Charles Lewis, the attorney in the case, stated that the promissory- note had been received from Pyne. He had brought the action against Pyne and Richards and received judgment. Ile was pressing for pay ment, and was threatening to take the three parties to the bill execution of the judgment. :He was, however, in duced to accept the present bill in lieu of the jugment against them. The bill was brought to him by Pyße ; but he had seen Richards the day after, who expressed his gratification that the matter had been so settled. Upon hearing this statement, the Counsel fir the defendants intimated that they should press the case no farther, as it clearly showed that Richards was a consenting party to , the arrangement that had been made. A verdict was then entered for the plaintiff for the 420 i. A further verdict was entered for the plaintiff in the sum of 8201., the amount of another promissory note ; the evidence, which was not entered into, being, it was understood, exactly the same as in the other case. GREENHI THE PIER.

Those names should have been Messrs. Birch, and not Bush—the gentleman con nected with the " Light of All Nations" having nothing to do with this Pier.

A most barbarous and cowardly assault was per petrated in the neighbourhood of Ellesmere on the evening of Wednesday last, by which two human lives were nearly sacrificed, and .for which the mis creant is now awaiting his trial in our county gaol. The circumstances, as far as we have been able to ascertain, are as follow : On the evening in question, the prisoner, whose name is Edward Williams, and who was a sawyer, and resided at Penley, near Ellesmere, and a party of countrymen, among whom were the two sufferers, Thomas Judson and Thomas Mason (both labouring men), went to witness the performances of Van Amburgh, who had pitched his tent in that town. On their return home a quarrel took place between the prisoner and Mason, in which the former made use of violent imprecations, but no blows were struck. Judson, who was a friend of the prisoner, seeing him so much excited, endeavoured to persuade him to go home peaceably, but he turned suddenly round, and with a clasp knife stabbed his friend in the lower part of the abdomen in so dreadful a manner, that the bowels protruded from the wound. The prisoner, undismayed by his first attack, in stantaneously inflicted two other stabs on the breast of his victim, near the heart, the last of which would undoubtedly have proved fatal, had not the knife struck against one of his ribs. The prisoner then inflicted a wound, about four inches long and half an inch deep, at the back of the neck, and another severe wound from the crown of the head to the forehead, where the knife glanced against the bone. The hands of Judson were also dreadfully lacerated in endea -1 vouring to parry the murderous thrusts which were made at him by the prisoner. Shortly after Judson had fallen to the ground, the prisoner started on his way home, and vas followed by Thomas Mason, who told him he was no man for stabbing the wounded man in the cowardly manner he had done, and for having made use of the knife at all in a quarrel. The prisoner, without making any reply, turned round, and stabbed Mason in the stomach. , Mason, the moment he found himself stabbed, knocked the prisoner into a ditch, but he jumped up immediately afterwards, and ran away ; and while doing so was observed to throw something away. The place was searched, and a knife was found at a short distance from the spot where Mason was stabbed. The knife is a clasp one, very sharp, and the blade was much bent, supposed to be from striking against the ribs of Judson. The cut in Mason's thigh has divided the scrotum, and was within an inch of the femoral artery. The wounded man, Judson, was conveyed to the house of Mr. Moseley, surgeon, who considered his life to be in imminent danger, C. K. Mainwaring, the nearest Magistrate, attended, and took down the depo sitions of the wounded man. Williams was captured in Ellesmere the following morning. He was taken the, same day before C. K. Mainwaring, Esq., and fully committed to take his trial at our next Assizes, on two distinct charges of stabbing with intent to kill and maim. He is a very powerful fellaw, standing upwards of six feet high, and was taken to gaol on Saturday last. THE SHIP CARPENTERS OF LIVERPOOL The scarcity of employment in the ship-building yards of this town has for some time past been very great, and we believe that it has recently increased, so that in some instances the hands who have been for years umployed in ene establishment, and who were looked upon as the most steady and efficient workmen, have at length been discharged. This deplorable state of things seems to have driven the journeymen be longing to ,this town into the adoption of a foolish de termination to endeavourl)y all means in their power to drive away from Liverpool all the ship-carpenters who have served their time here. Yesterday, three ship-earpehters applied to Mr. Rushton under the fol lowing circumstances :—They stated that whilst en gaged at their work on Saturday, in the graving docks, several individuals belonging to the trade came to them, and, stating that they (the men of Liverpool) had come to the determination that no strangers should hereafter be employed in the town, ordered them to 4 ' knock off work,' adding, " if you don't do it by fair means, we'll make you do it by foul." The first person thus served with this imperative order said that he belonged to Chester, and that he remonstrated with the men, and refused to leave work, whereupon they threw stones and bricks at him. The second was served in a similar way. In the third instance, when the an was ordered to desist at once from working, and the resolution of the trade made known to him, he replied, "How can you call me a stranger, when I have been twenty-seven years in the town ?" The reply was, " Well, you have been here twenty seven years too long." He refused to comply with the order, and was not then molested ; but subsequently, a crowd of carpenters came, and threw a shower of stones and bricks about his head. Mr. Rushton said to one of the carpenters, " And do these men really announce their determination to drive away every stranger from the port ?" The answer was in the affirmative. Mr. Rushton—What madness ! because if they were to drive away all the people who are not natives of the town, there would be very few left:' As none of the parties throwing stones could be identified, Mr. Rushton granted warrants for threat ening against the men who had ordered the appli cants to " knock off work," and said to the three proscribed strangers, " Tell the ship-carpenters of Liverpool that the end of this will be to involve them m trouble, and to get many of them into gaol for the Magistrates, they may depend upon it, will no permit such proceedings as these."—Liverpool Times The Countess of Norbury is passing the autumn at I i Englefield Green. EXTRAORDINARY PROCEEDINGS.—It appears that a teetotal soiree was held at Dungannon on Tuesday evening, at which the Monaghan temperance band had been invited to attend. While approaching the former town, and at a short distance, accompanied by a crowd of orderly and peaceable persons, they were met by Lord Northland and Mr. Pole, on horseback, who in stantly, and in a most excited manner, commanded ' the musicians to cease playing. The conduct of the Magistrates towards the crowd we shall not now describe, but simply state, that two individuals were -given into the custody of the police, without the slightest provocation, one of whom was arbitrarily sentenced to 24 hours' imprisonment, for which he has commenced legal proceedings. The soiree was sub sequently held at Mr. Fullam's greatrooms, and dur ing the night an Orange mob assembled opposite the house, and commenced breaking the windows, and shouting the usual party cries—" To hell with the Pope," &c. Shots were also fired, and amongst the outrages committed, Mrs. Kelly, the wife of a tradesman, with her infant in her arms, was struck in four places with brick-bats. The Artil lery, by orders of Lord Northland, were brought from Charlemont to Dungannon. On the suggestion of Mr. O'Farrell, a gentleman of the town, the people have decided on memorialising Lord Charlemont, as Lord Lieutenant of the county, to have a party of the military stationed in Dungannon for their protection, and to have some Liberal appointed to the com mission of the peace on whom they can rely.— Vindi cator of Saturday. CouitAonous CONDVCt or A You L AbY.—Satur day evening last, between seven and eight, Mr. T. Coulthard was driving home from Gateshead to Bill Quay, accompanied by his sister Ann, aged lA. At the same time the Royal George (Mr. Anthony Hut chinson's resuscitated Sunderland and Newcastle coach) WRS returning from the former place; and nei ther the gig nor the coach being provided with lights, they came into collision near the Felling-gate. Mr. Coulthard was thrown from his seat The horse then wheeled round and proceeded tutitinsiy batk to this borough Miss Coulthard, with admirable presence of mind, knelt down on the bottom of the gig and grasped the splash-board. She was thus borne in safety through the perils of a gallop dawn the 11;gh•street of Gates head, on a market night. The horse, she hoped, would halt, by force of habit, at the door of the Black Bull Inn ; but on it rushed ; and then; preserving her cool ness' she directed her efforts to the avoidance of Bottle•bank. Happily this object was effected; she turned the animal into Church-street, and onward it galloped to the bridge, and which it passed in safety, but, on reaching the Sandhill, ran against a horse and ' cart, and upset them both. The shock threw Miss Coulthard upon the pavement, and liberated her bro ther's horse from the gig. The poor beast, with a portion of the shafts rattling at his tail, broke the windows of Mr. Wailes, grocer, and then ran forward to Dean-street, where it was stopped. Miss Coulthard, meanwhile rose up unhurt, and was soon rejoined by her brother, who had followed in great haste, and sorely afraikthat his sister would sustain some fearful injury. Both the Royal George and its passengers escaped the collision uninjured. The accident pro. duced much excitement in our borough, and every one rejoiced that Miss Coulthard was so providentially preserved.— Gateshead Observer. RAILWAYS.—The number of accidents on the rail ways of the United Kingdom, arising from causes beyond the control of passengers, which occurred in the year 1841, was 29, by which 24 persons were killed and 72 injured. The number of accidents which occurred in the same period to individuals owing to their own negligence or mis conduct, was 36; by which 17 persons were killed and 20 injured. The description given of the seve ral cases in this class affords proof of the extraordinary recklessness of the individuals who have suffered. " Jumped off after his hat" occurs no less than three times ; . " jumped off," twelve times ; " run over, crossing before a train," occurs six times. There are I also several cases of persons killed whilst lying ' asleep on the rails, and of others killed or injured by falling from trucks on which they had been riding without leave.

(From the London New Price Current of November 11. ) SUGAR.—In the British Plantation Sugar market there has been less activity this week ; from the Grocers the demand has been limited, and Refiners have eperated with caution, but merchants have shown firmness, and have obtained full rates. REFINED.—To-day the market was in a dull state for Refined Sugar, and prices further declined ; 75s Gd to 76s taken for standard lumps. In Bonded loaves there is a considerable business doing for delivery at 30s 6d to 35s for 6, 10, and 14 lbs. In other articles no varia tion to notice. MAURITIUS.—A good demand has prevailed for yellow descriptions, and brown has been in fair request ; former rates have been sustained. EAST INDIES.—This afternoon there were three public sales of Bengal, l s to 2s lower—viz., fine white at 41s to 445; good 38s Gd to 40s to 40s 6d, mid 35s to 365, good yellow 35s to 375, damp and washed 27s to 29s 6d ; duty- paid sold at 65s to 66s for good strong yellow, being rather lower. FOREIGN.—The market for Foreign Sugar has pre sented a firm appearance all the week. To-day Porto Rico, and Java Sugar were submitted to public compe tition ; the former nearly all taken in at stiffer rates. viz. fine yellow at 18s 6d to 19s Gd, good 18s to 18s 6d, fine brown 17s to 17s 6d ;;,, the latter went at 16s 6d to 18s 6d for washed and damaged, being full prices. TEA.—To-day the trade evinced little inclination to purchase Tea, and 2,800 pkgs of Pouchoeg at public sale went off slowly at a reduction of Id per lb ; about two-thirds were disposed of—very low quality 9d to Ild, mid to good is aid to is laid, fine 2s ld per lb.

On the order being given for full speed, the sillometer showed a gradual increase of speed, till it came to eight miles per hoar, as before. On the return of the Lightning from Portsmouth to Woolwich, the distance performed was found to be—By Massey's log, 119 miles; by the sir lometer, 118.6. 4 ' The sillometer has a dial upon deck. which con stantly shows the number of miles per hour the vessel is going; consequently it is easy to discover, under all circumstances, what is the best trim of the vessel, and the most advantageous quantity and distribution of the sails for obtaining the greatest speed. As the sillo meter shows immediately the effect which every alte ration in the sails or trim of the ship has on its velo city, it follows also that ships fitted with the sillometer can constantly maintain the speed they may have agreed upon, and so keep company together, and maintainthe same relative position ; though, from the darkness of the night, or thickness of the weather, they cannot see each other. To ascertain the distance run after any number of hours, it is simply to take the number of minutes one of the watches of the sillometer has gained over the other, and to multiply that number by six, which gives the distance run in miles. THE MARINE THERMOMETER. — The trials with this instrument on hoard the Lightning, commenced at eleven o'clock on Thursday morning, October 13. Previous to leaving Woolwich harbour, and on taking the centigrade it was found to be 12 deg. At twenty five minutes past three o'clock r.?.t., in five fathom channel : Cant shoal, depth of water about 16 feet, it indicated 13.25. In 23 feet depth of water as stated by the pilot it indicated 15.25. Off Dover 16 deg., and in Portsmouth harbour 14.2. From these indications it appears that the marine thermometer, in its variations, followed the inequali ties of the bottom of the sea, so far as these inequali ties could be ascertained from the heaving of the lead. or from the information of the pilot ; that is, on the approach to shoal water the thermometer fell, and on the approach to deep water it rose, and distinguished the difference very distinctly and rapidly, according to the transition from shallow to deep water, and vice versa. It may therefore be inferred that the marine thermometer would indicate the approach to rocks and icebergs from the influence these bodies are known to have on the temperature of the sea for a consider able distance. The dial of the marine thermometer is also on deck, and shows, by inspection merely, the exact depth of water in which the vessel may be sail ing at the time. THE STEAM THERMOMETER. — The principal expe riments with this instrument were made in the Med way, and the observations taken show distinctly how every variation in the temperature of the steam in the boilers is indicated by Monsieur Clement's invention, a centrigrade of 107 degrees, four degrees of Monsieur Clement, being equal to 212 degrees of Fahrenheit. This invention may be of value where high-pressure engines are used, as it indicates the exact temperature of the steam in the boilers ; but the engineers in the British navy are so careful and fully qualified a body of men that no fears need be apprehended by the com manders of vessels of their attention to their duty, so tbat this invention may not be required.

Considerable sensation has been excited in Bickerton, and the adjoining villages, by the discovery of two human skeletons, and the remains of a third, under the following circumstances :—lt appears that one day last week, two women, and their two children (little boys), one of whose name is Seville, went on the Bickerton Hills, in the neighbourhood of Fuller's Moor, for the purpose of gathering s what is com monly in the country called " greg, and of which besoms are made. They had not been thus occupied long, before the boy Seville picked up what he at first thought to be a stone; but, on looking at it more closely, he found he was mistaken, and imme diately ran off to his mother, calling out, "Heigh, mother, I've found an old man's head !" The women were of course alarmed, and directly left the hills, and leaving also their " greg" behind them. Meeting with Morwick, the police-officer for that district, they com municated to him what had occurred, and he then re paired to the spot, and on searching it, discovered the heads, thigh bones, arm bones, and other portions of two ' human skeletons, the whole of which were in a very ex cellent state ofpreservation. Inform ation of the affair was then given to Mr. Stewardson, special high constable of the hundred of Broxton, who, on the following morning, accompanied by R. B. Orton, Esq., one of the county Magistrates, went to make further exa minations of the ground, but discovered nothing more except a few of the ribs and finger joints of the skeletons found on the previous day. Several conjectures have been started as to the means by which these men could have been buried in this ap parently isolated spoi, as the oldest inhabitants of the neighbourhood have no rt3i!ollection of any persons being missed from that vicinii.;'• Some distance from the hill, we understand that a i;Ymber of men were hung for rebellion during the period of the Commonwealth, but there appears to be no reast;:o why their bodies should have been taken so far from tirf place of execution for burial. We understandthat many years :Igo, previous to the road being made as at pre sent, there was a lodging-house where travellers of all classes used to domicile, and as these hills have from time immemorial been celebrated for the number of bad characters who infested them, it is supposed by some that the skeletons are those of men who have stayed at the lodging-house, and been murdered for the sake of their property.

T he I?aven was David's favourite ordinary, and, for'PanY, a long year, the landlord put up with the flannel merchant's custom with a resignation worthy a more distinguished martyrdom. At last, when bankruptcy began to stare him in the face, on receiving the accus tomed eighteen-pence for dinner, his natural polite ness forsook him, and he spice thus :—" Mr. Wil liams, I have no desire any l on g er to mono p olise all your favours. lam quite satisfied of your wish to serve me. Why don't you give the Lion a turn ?" fortnight ago, we mentioned a case of supposed poisoning of a husband by his wife, that a medical examination of the body had been taken, and that the woman was in custody. Since then, sus picions have been afloat that a neighbour woman, who died three months before, and to whom the prisoner had administered some drink, had not been fairly dealt with. In consequence of these rumours, the Prom rotor Fiscal ordered an , inspection of the body, and on Saturday last it was exhumed for that purpose. The medical report will be reserved to be produced in evi dence, but its tenor has not transpired.—Faift Ad , vertiser. . _ THE NAVAL CLUB, OR REMINISCENCES Or -I I praill VlCE.—Narratives of personal adventure are gen. -- res s considered the most entertaining reading the p ress produces, and those in which the heroes of our " t he times are brought before us, cannot fail to interest most indifferent reader, From this cause be co doubt of the attraction of a forthcoming byt' 3f, cation under the title of " The Naval Club," , inr " H.
