YORK WOOL MARKET, Jury 12.—The show of wool has been very large here to-day, but there was only a moderate attendance of buyers.

This Joint Stock Company, established by Act of Parlia ment, without limited responsibility, affords the most perfect security in an ample paid-up Capital, and in the great success which has attended it, since its commencement in 1834. In 1841 the Company declared an addition to the Share holders of one-half of their Stock, and also added 2t. per Cent, per Annum, from the dates of their policies to those par ties who had insured with Profits. The Premiums nevertheless are on the most moderate scale, and only a moiety need be paid for the first five years, where the Insurance is for life. The amount of bonus added to policies since the commence ment of the Company in March 1834, to the 31st December 1840, is as follows : Sum Assured. Time Assured. Sums added to Policy. £l,OOO 6 Years. 10 Months £136 13 4 1,000 4 Years BO 0 0 1,000 1 Year Every information will be afforded on application to the Resident Directors, Edward Boyd, Esq., and E.

A sum far more than equal to the value of the Policies is in fly nt,thlie.secnriries. in the names of the Trustees, so as to be at all tunes available. - At the last quinquennial meeting there was added a bonus to the Life Policies equal to twenty-five per cent. on the sums paid, and a bonus of five per cent. was added to the Shares in addition to the payment of the annual interest. The quinquennial meeting being only just past, a favourable opportunity now offers for the commencement of new Insu rances; parties now joining will be allowed to participate in the profits at the next division, as if they had been ipaurpti cur the whole period. For the convenience of parties wishing to assure for a spe cific sum, without a prospective bonus, a new table, at lower rates, has been calculated, on which, as well as on the partici pating scale, ONE-HALF THE PREMIUM MAY RE MAIN ON INTEREST AT FIVE PER CENT. FOR FIVE YEARS, thus enabling a person to assure his life for 1,0001. on the immediate payment of the premium for 5001. only. The following are the annual premiums for the assurance of 1001., for the whole life, one-half of which may remain for five years by merely paying the interest annually at five per cent., and should the policy become a claim in the interim the amount due will then be deducted : Age 20, withoutprofits £1 13 0 with profits £1 15 0 30 40 . ... 2 14 3 ... 3 1 3 50 Far short periods the premiums are considerably lower, and forany ages or contingencies not usually advertised, information may be obtained on application to the Actuary or Secretary.

RURAL FELICITY.—Of all breeds of cattle we most admire the Alderney. They are slim, delicate, will-deer looking creatures, that give an air to a cottage ; but they are most capricious milkers. Of course you make your own butter; that is to . say,`,,with the addition of a dozen purchased pounds weekly, you are not very often out of that commodity. Then, once or twice in a summer, they suddenly lose their temper, and chase the governess and your daughters over the edge of a gravel pit. Nothing they like so much as the tender sprouts of cauli flower, nor do they abhor green peas. The garden-hedge is of privet, a pretty fence, arid fast-growing, but not formidable to a four-year-old. On going to eat a few gooseberries by sunrise, you start a covey of cows, that in their alarm plunge into the hot-bed with a smash, as if all the glass in the island had been broken ; and rushing out at the gate at the critical instant little Tommy is tottering in, they leave the heir-apparent, scarcely deserving that name, half-hidden in this border. '1 here is no sale for such outlandish animals in the home-market; and it is not Martin mas, co you must make a present of them to the President, or five silver -cup-man of an agricultural society, and you receive in return a sorry red round, desperately saltpetred at Christmas. _,ol, r ioppher North's Recreations, 'Vol. 1.

Yesterday evening a meeting of the Dissenting Minis ters and their respective ,congreo-a tips,. in the neighbour hood of the metropolis, Was heldin; the Finsbury Cireas • Chapel, for the purpose' of corOiderilie the present awful distress so general throughout the country, and hearing the statements Of . several - clergymen from the provinces, relative to the facts in connection with the distress, which came under their -"ebgnizanee in their capacity as Christian pastors: Thomas Price, Esq., D.D., in the Chair. The large anti roomy chapel, with its two tiers of galleries, was tilled Almost to suffocation by a most respectable audience, who:seemed to manifest the deepest sympathy and interest in the proceedings of the meeting. --- - The Rev. Mr. LowE, of Forfar t after some preli minary observations, said that he,'-in conjunction with other clergymen, some of them members of the Esta blished Church, had gone from doer to door in the town of Forfar for the purpose of ascertaining the rearsitua don of the working classes there, and, as the result of his own personal observation, he could state, that out of a population of 1,402 families, pontaining 5,012 indi viduals, 139 were living on a sutra averagingfrom 6d. to 9d. per day ; 193 men, earning from ss. to ss. 6d. a:' week ; 386 had only from 4d to iid. a day ; and 853 wore dragging out a miserable existence on 3d. per day. Again, there were 1,533 persens Vtio had only 3i-d. to live on during the day, whilst 169 4il'only the incredi ble stun of from three farthings to fine penny to live on during the twenty-four hours. Silt* .vits the state of the working classes in Forfar ; but, fi.e:vas also sorry to he obliged to add that their spiritnri aSiveii as temporal interests were affected by this, in_4t',lnite4 as the people had not the means of attending ' their' religious ob servances, from the want of decent 4parel. The conse quence of this state of things• wag i4creasing disaffection and demoralization ; and in proof of the latter assertion lie would state that in 1836 theto were only 00 com mittals from the criminal tribunals, while in 1841 there were 202, and of all these latter the greater num ber were for thefts, not of valuable articles, but of mere eatables. The maternal instinct was as inherent in the breast of the emaciated and pauperised mother who nourished her child with Ulu- last life springs of an ex hausted frtime as in - - the Duchess who entrusted her offspring to the charge '; or a stranger, and supplied its void with ' a lap-dog.:---(Hear, hear.) After some further observations, and detailing several cases of individual misery, with which the reports of the proceedings of the Anti-Corn-law Delegates have rendered the public painfully familiar, the Rev. Gentle man sat down amidst loud cheertk. The Rev. Mr. MASSIE, of Manchester, next rose and said he was grateful for having an opportunity to address his fellow Christians of the meteTolis, and more espe cially so when it was on behalf of the poor. It was scarcely necessary for him to enter upon the details of suffering which were of daily oepurrence in his native town, but still he feared that the condition of their fel low Christians and countrymen in the provinces, was but little understood by their . brethren hi London._ ( Ifear, hear.) A proposition had been made that 1,000 of the starving artisans of Manchester should be enabled to come as a depetation to London by a public subscription, and the reason why such a proposition was entertained was, that they believed if the people of London were aware of the misery and distress which pervaded the provinces, they would not for a moment appear so apathetic as_ they had done. He knew there were many claim§ as Christians upon the people of London, and therefore he could not expect that they should come forward with charitable contributions, nor would he desire it, for much as he would cherish the heart or charity, he never would encourage the feeling of dependence on eleemosynary aid.—(Bear, hear, and cheers.) ; Noble, generou,=, warm hearted John Bull had been contrasted with the poor prostrate Paddy. He gloried in his own feelings of inde pendence in other days, but that •feeling is now fast going. —(A Voice—" It is gone.") It was coming to the last point, but still they should struggle to regain it. It was not a spirit of idleness that kept the people prostrate, fur he could assure the meeting that there - were thousands in Lancashire who worked from six o'clock in the morning until ten at- night to earn 4s. a weel , . " Ilope deferred reaketh the heart sick ;" and if a man saw that he laboured six times 15 hours to earn 4s. as his reward was it a wonder if he - reversed the order of the well-known sentiment, and turned his ploughshare into a sword ? Mr. Massie then detailed several of those heart-rending scenes of distress which render Eng land the scorn and pity of the civilised word ; and con tinued to say, that distressing as the scenes which he described were, they were scarcely worse than the con dition superinduced by those in the middle classes. — (Hear, hear.) He would ref.:47 Fis briefly as possible to the state of the shopkeepers, such as bakers, butchers, grocers and the like, in several parts of Lancashire. Returns had been made to him, by which he would be enabled to institute a comparison between the income of this class of tradesmen in the years 1839 and 1841. The returns related to the receipts - of 13 bread and provision dealers, 14 butchers, 10 grocers and tea-dealers, and 13 drapers, all men of the highest character and respecta bility. In the year 1839, their aggregate receipts amounted to 197,7004 — in 18 : 41 they were 130,100/.. making a difference in two years of 67,0001., and shortly before he came to London he had been in formed by these parties that their income up to this period of 1342 was at least 15 per cent.. less than what it was at the termination of the year 1841, thus reducing their receipts to about 110,0001. instead of 197,000/., or little more than one-half in two years. In 1839 the poor-rates were only I.s. 4d. in' the pound, and he was M- I fo:med by the overseors that this year they would be at least 4s. The shopkeepers were coming down fast to the level of the paupers, and he could state that many of them in Manchester, to his own knowledge, did not taste butchers' meat during the week..—(Hear, hear.) In the years 1835, 1836, and 1837, the average number of cattle sold weekly in Salford was 700, while last week, when, owing to the propitious weather, the greatest plenty might be expected in the market, only 361 were ' sold. lle had been asked by a friend whether he con sidered himself justified as a minister of religion in mixing himself up with the angry politics of the day, but he (Mr. Massie) would ask, could a mi nister of religion—that , religion which exerts you to love your fellow-man as yourself, be aware of these facts, and abstain from joining in endea vouring, constitutionally, to obtain an amelioiation in the condition of the suffering people ? Let them go to the home of the working man, and then they would see the child perishing in its spring-time for want of food, while the parent was sad, and mattering vows of vengeance against his oppressors, for to this it had come at last. The people spoke of it openly ' • they said they only wanted leaders, and he feared that such would not long be wanting. In conclusion, he would call upon all those who were ministers to lose no time in convening their brethren, and imploring Providence to avert the evils which seem to threaten this country, and calm down those angry. feelings by which the masses seemed actuated, and which, unless speedily soothed, would lead to a sanguinary revolution.—(Loud and 46,tig continued cheering.) • Mr. GEORGE Tno3iescre addressed the meeting in long and eloquent speech, in which he stated that eight or nine months ago those in power strenuously denied the statements with respect to the distress of the country, but now they had it on the authority of the Home Soere ary that there was in Great Itoltain upwards of 1,300,000 persons dependent upon parish relief, and read several extracts from the Right BOA. Baronet's memorable work on Corn and Currency, which, with Mr. Thompson's caustic observations,' caueed'much laughter. Amongst those- present we remarked the following Rev. Gentlemen:—Rer. J. 11. Hinton, James Carlile, Gilbert, Dr. J. P. Smith, G. Evans, J. Miram, J. Ad y, J. G. Fuller, J.Angug, T. Aveling, J. Raban, J. Nellor, M. Pittan, E. Halliday, M. Pennan, Rev. J. W.

Duo, A short time since, a huissier of Rouen called on the wife of a small manufacturer, who had left that town in c onsequence of losses in trade, ads stated that he had come to seize her goods.

Sir,—Previous to the recent meeting of the Wilkie Testi monial Committee, Mr. Joseph, the sculptor, put the accom panying letter into my hands, thinking it might be of service to him if lead to the Committee. I had no opportunity of reading the letter, and Mr. Joseph's object has been already gained. It occurs to me, however, that such a letter might prove interesting to the public, as everything must do which helps to link together two such names as Scott and Byron. Your obedient servant, JAMES HALL. Athenaeum Club, Pall-mall, July 5. P. S. I ought to have mentioned that Mr. Joseph was pre vented by Lord Byron's death from having an opportunity of presenting the letter or making the bust. SLR WALTER SCOTT TO LORD BYRON. My dear Lord Byron,—Should this reach your hand, it will be delivered by Mr. Joseph, a young sculptor of rising emi nence, who very wisely goes to Italy to improve himself in his art. His busts have attracted much attention, and many consider him as our most hopeful artist after Chantrey, who has more work on his hand than a lifetime can execute. But you will be enabled to judge of Mr. Joseph's proficiency from you own observation, as he carries with him several speci mens of his labours, and some of your acquaintances' heads in stone and plaster, nearly as good as the original specimen [s] from which they were taken. Now, the upshot of all this is, an earnest request on my part that if you think Mr. Joseph worthy of encouragement, judging from your own observation, not my recommendation (which in the fine arts is worth no thing), that you will spare so much time as to lit to him, which will be a high feather in:lais csp when he returns to Britain, and cannot but have a %limit important effect upon his fortunes if he is happy enough to succeed. Besides, I cannot disguise from you that I have a little pri vate self interest in your granting Joseph this request, for, as Tony Lumpkin says of his company, I should not so much mind your Lordship disappointing him if 1 did not at the same time incur disappointment myself, since if you spare so much time as to let him model your bust, he has orders to 'finish a copy for the in marble, to be one of the Lares at Abbotsford. I am always, my dear Lord, very truly yours, Edinburgh, July 1823. WALTER SCOTT. • SUICIDE FROM DISTRESS OF MlND.—Yesterday' an inquisition was taken before Mr. Wakley, M.P., at the Middlesex Hospital, on view of the body of Mrs. Rehecca Shaw, aged 22, a respectable married female, who committed self destruction by swallowing arsenic. Mary Knox, No. 22, St, lartin's-street, St. Martin's-in-the-Fields, the mother of the deceased, said that her daughter had been separated from her husband, who is a law-stationer, in Fetter-lane, about a twelvemonth. She frequently expressed her regret that she had no home to go to, and shed tears frequently. Last Tuesday forenoon she went out about ten o'clock, and returned at twelve o'clock, when she sat down to needle-work. Soon after she became very sick, but made no remark that she had taken poison. Witness gave her some brandy, and she lay down in bed. About three o'clock, on witness's son assisting her out of bed, he observed a paper in her bosom, when on ex amining it he saw the words " arsenic—poison," written on it. She was then questioned if she had taken it, when she admitted that she had swallowed a pennyworth. She was immediately conveyed in a cab to the Middlesex Hospital, where she died in about three-quarters of an hour after her admission. Nine months ago she attempted to poison herself, when she was ad mitted into King's College Hospital. Verdict—" Temporary insanity." THE ECLIPSE OF THE SUN,--AlthQllol the weather yesterday morning was not particularly favourable for observ ing this celestial phenomenon, in consequence of the partial obscuration of the sun by light clouds soon after his using, yet those who had the courage to rise from their bed were not disappointed of a very beautiful spectacle. The calculation of the time of the commencement of the eclipse was exceedingly accurate. Soon after four o'clock one digit was darkened, and the obscuration gradually increased, The sun presented a very curious aspect, and assumed an oblong shape at one period. Soon afterwards it appeared like a crescent, and at the period of greatest obscuration the sun's appearance was that of the moon at about four days' old, Indeed, the effect resembled much that of the moon, as at no period were the rays sufficiently intense to preve4 its being looked upon without inconvenience to the eye. Occasionally the light floating clouds altogether prevented the sun from being seen, but, upon the whole, the morning was favourable for the observance of the phenomen on , and it was no doubt an object. of interest to many.

CITY, FRIDAY EVENING TIMES.—The Funds have declined i per cent, today, with very heavy appearances ;. there have been no large sales of stock, but there is a continued influx of small parcels, which increases the difficulty of supporting prices. The payment of the dividends has had no effect on the market at present, and there appears for the while to be a demand over and above the supply. The class of the " Danish claimants " who claim compen sation fur the loss of ships, &e.., seized within the Baltic, have again addressed a petition to the House of Commons. In this they in the first place refer to the decision of that House in the sessions of 1838 and 1839, that they are as fully entitled to compensation as the other two classes who have already been paid, and to the Report of the Commissioners upon individual cases, according to which claims to the amount of 225,0001. were established in 1840. They then proceed to show that this decision and Report have been of no benefit whatever. The late Government not having taken any steps towards the payment of the awarded sum, the case of the claimants was again brought before Parliament in June 1841 ; and the whole House in Committee agreed to an address to the Crown, praying "that her Majesty would be graciously pleased to advance to the claimants the amount as ascertained by the Commissioners to be due, and assuring her Majesty that the House would make good the same." Her Majesty's answer to this address was—" It must at all times be my most earnest desire to attend to the wishes of the House of Commons, and I shall be ready to give effect to them in this instance, when ever the means shall have been provided by Parliament." This answer of course revived the hopes of the claimants, as they already had the opinion of the House in their favour, and here was every reason to believe that such favourable opinion would be acted upon. Nevertheless, neither the late nor the present Administration have taken any steps towards the satis fiction of the petitioners' claims, and they still fled them selves in the same situation as before. Having, therefore, not only a decision of the House of Commons in their favour, but also a declaration by that House that it would make good the amount of compensation, they now submit that at all events the Ministers might have applied to the House for a vote of money, or even have advanced the money at once, in full confidence that the House would redeem its pledge. They use the argument that it is not constitutional in a Minis ter to disregard a resolution of the House appropriating to a certain purpose a portion of the public money; and they state that they have been unable to find any case where, when ad dresses have been answered from the Crown, the Government has failed to give them due effect. On the constitutional point thus set up this is not the place to decide, but it is one that is not to be disregarded ; and the position of the petitioners who have made out their case four times to the satisfaction of the House of Commons, and now find themselves without corn pensaiion, is certainly one of the greatest hardship. SUN.—The sales of Stock for Money continued to be made for small amounts during the day, and necessarily rendered the market flat. It is now almost positively ascertained that the income-tax is the cause of this demand for money, in con sequence of an impression that by selling the stock, the impost will be avoided, inasmuch as the dividend will be received by the purchaser. It is almost unnecessary to state that this view of the subject is most erroneous. Immediately the books are cla'sed for the payment of dividends, the warrants are made out in favour of the party in whose name the stock then stands, and from which the tax is deducted. These directly become the property of the possessors of the stock, and any transfers which subse quently may be made, are made without the dividend, which can only be claimed by the original holder of the stock. These facts are mentioned in consequence of several parties having sold, and others attempting to sell Consols, under the idea that, if they do so, the buyer will be the sufferer, forgetting at the same time, the last half-year's dividend awaits their receipt. Consols closed at 911 91-; for Money, 91/ 91i for the 15th, and 914 for the August Account ; Reduced, 911 913 ; Bank Stock, 1661 1674 ; Exchequer Bills, Old, 45 48; New, 48 50 premium. The dulness of the English Funds affected, in a slight degree, the prices cf Foreign Securities. Belgian were 102 103 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 511 511; the Five per Cents., 101 101 1 /, ; Danish, 81 82 ; and Brazilian, 64 66. The quotation - for Mexican dropped from 354- to 351. It was reported late in the afternoon that the West India steamer had arrived, bringing favourable intelligence, and a large re mittance from Mexico. The fraud lately committed in regard to dealiugs in this Stock rendered operators cautious until the truth could be ascertained ; it ultimately proved to be prema ture, although the vessel is now eight days overdue. The flatness of the Money Market caused the demand for Railway Shares to be diminished, but prices were unaltered. London and Birmingham, 178 180; Birmingham and Glou cester, 481 50; Great estern, 861 874 ; the Half Shares, 614 62 ; South Western, 601 61 ; North Midland, 591 601 ; the New Shares, 294 30/ ; South Eastern and Dover, 231 24 ; Eastern Counties, 84 9; Northern and Eastern, 40 41 ; Black wall, 9 94 ; and Brighton, 341 35. The Exchanges were all lower, and especially en Ha.ratirgh ; the remittances now being made by the various insurance offices for the sums lost by the 1 to fire will account for this decline. The rates negotiated on 'Change were—Amsterdam, 12 4i 12 5 ; Rotterdam, 12 44 12 5-A ; Antwerp, 12 4i 12 4 1 s ; Hamburgh, 13 10)-, 13 10; Frankfort, 1.504- 151 ; Paris, 2 . 5 t. 70c. 25f. 75c. The quotation for the Bonds, instead of rising as was for merly the case when the English dividends were paid, were all lower, the market being now entirely supported by itself. The official quotations were—Colombian, 22 ; Portuguese Five per Cents., 334 33: 3 , ; the Three per Cents., l 9! ; Spanish Five per Cents., 2IA ; and the Three per Cents., 214. Money has been exceedingly plentiful at from 21 1 to 3 per cent. DANISH CLAIMS. PETITION OF CLAIMANTS. The humble Petition of the undersigned merchants and others, claimants for losses sustained by the seizure of their ships and goods by the Danes, in 1807, Sheweth,--That your petitioners represent the claimants on the British Government, for compensation in respect of the loss of ships and cargoes seized within the Baltic in reprisal by the Danes, in the year 1807, and subsequently condemned and sold by the Danish Government. That the House of Commons, in the two successive s ess i ons of 1838 and 1839, adjudged, by large majorities, that this class of ciaimani, w.a qually e.z.titlee to compensation with the other two classes, to which it had been already awarded, and has sincebeen paid. That it was thereupon referred by the Treasury to certain Commissioners to adjudicate and report upon the individual cases ; and, after a strict investigation of documentary and other evidence, 11(.1 claims, to an amount in the whole of 225,0001., were, in 1840, reported as established. That no steps having been taken by the late Government towards the payment of the sums thus awarded, it was moved, on behalf of the claimants, on the 9th of June, 1841, that " the House should resolve itself into a Committee of the whole House, to consider of an address to her Majesty," which motion was carried without a division. That on the following day (June 10), after a debate, and upon a division, the whole House, in Committee, agreed to an address, praying " that her Majesty would be graciously pleased to advance to the claimants the amount as ascertained by the Commissioners to be due, and assuring her Majesty that the /louse would make good the same." That this address was duly presented, and, on the t2lst of June, 1841, her Majesty was pleased to return the following answer :—" It must at all times be my most earnest desire to attend to the wishes of the House of Commons; and I shall be ready to give effect to them in this instance, whenever the means shall have been provided by Parliament." That, notwithstanding this intimation of her Majesty's plea sure, nothing has been done, either by her Majesty's late ad visers, or by her present Ministers, to give effect to the gra cious intentions of her Majesty, and your petitioners are still wholly without any fruits or benefit from the repeatedly re corded resolutions of your Honourable House in their favour. Your petitioners respectfully - submit that, immediately on the communication of her Majesty's pleasure, it was the duty of the Ministers to have asked your Honourable House for a vote of money to be applied in satisfaction of these claims, or rather at once to have paid the money by anticipation, in the assurance that your Honourable House would redeem its pledge, and make good the advance by an appropriation, your pet;tioners confidently believing that not a single instance can be found in which the House of Commons has failed to give effect, by a vote of money, to its own previous resolution. Your petitioners further respectfully maintain, that the House of Commons, being the constitutional guardian of the public money, it is not constitutional in the Minister to disre gard or frustrate a resolution of the House, purporting that a portion of she public money shall be applicable and applied to a particular purpose. That very numerous cases are to be found in which ad dresses have been made by the House of Commons to the Crown, for grants of money, as well to individuals as for public purposes . , which addresses have been graciously re sponded to by the Crown, and that in 110 instance, which your petitioners have been able to find, has the Government failed to give effect to such addressee and answers, either by imme- I thee payment, or by calling upon the H ouse t o prov id e the ' requisite means (if payment. That your petitioners have made repeated applications to her Majesty's Government, requesting them to take the ne cessary steps for fulfilling the declared wish of your Honour able House, assented to and adopted by the Crown, but hitherto wholly without effect. That your petitioners having four times made out their case, to the satisfaction of your Honourable House, and indefeasibly established their title to a compensat i on already withheld from them for thirty-five years, havi ng i ncurre d great la b our and expense in the proof of their individual claims before the Com missioners, and having made arrangements on the faith of the awards made, and the declarations and proceedings of your llonourable House in their favour, cannot but consider this refusal, or delay of justice, on the part of the Government, as a serious aggravation of the original wrong ; and they now humbly and respectfully pray your Honourable House, That such measures may be taken for giving effect to the resolutions and address of your Honourable House, as to your Honourable House, in its wisdom, may seem fit. And your petitioners will ever pray, THOS. WARD, Chairman of Hull Claimants. ROBERT BRERETON, of Blakeney. JOHN P.

Two children of Anderson, saw-miller, at the Shirra Haugh of Arn dilly, were climbing, it seems, on the rocks of one of the ravines of Benagen, in search of hawks' nests, when a part of the rock gave way with them. They fell to the bottom, and the mass of rocks fell upon them, crushing the leg of one of them, a fine girl of eleven years of age, to a perfect jelly, an d ot h erw i se wounding her severely; while the thigh loGne of the other, a boy of about nine years old, was broken, and his head much bruised. After some time, they were found in this condition by their poor mother, who was not able to remove the rock from them, and some further delay occurred before assistance could be procured in such a lonely situation. When information of the accident reached Dr. McPherson, of Garbity, he repaired to the sp ot, and endea voured to save the life of the girl by amputating tli !

It appeared by the testimony of a number of witnesses, that on Wednesday morning, about twenty minutes to two o'elock, the deceased was found lying in the shop with her throat cut in a dreadful manner. licr cap was on the counter, and a razor near her head. Two policemen soon attended, and they were of opinion she had been dead for some time, which was corroborated by the evidence of Mr. Massey, surgeon, who resides nearly opposite. Mr. Crowder usually w t to bed before his wife, he having toget up early in the mgr g, and she generally closed the shop. She and her husband apparently lived happily together,. but on the Tuesday she had been labouring under considers',A e exeltereent, in ensisequence of leer son having beM ' o at en by another boy, b u t b eyon d th i s nothing extraors!,nary was observed in her manner. It seemed, however., 'oy the exami nation of Mr. Thomas Nathaniel Crowdets a compositor, living in Webber-row, the brotl.er of her husband, that she had been labouring under a most erroneous impression of her hus band's infidelity, and also that the brother wished to separate husband and wife, than which nothing could be further from fact. She was in the habit of saying that, because she was friendless she supposed she " must be put upon," while no un kindly feeling was observed on the husband's part. Inspector Campbell stated, in answer to questions put by the Coroner and Jury, that he lid ascertained the razor belonged to Mr. Crowder, and that it was usually kept on the mantelpiece in the back parlour. It is supposed the act must have been com mitted immediately on the closing of the shop at eleven o'clock on Tuesday night. The Coroner inquired if the Jury wished to examine the husband, but they were of opinion it was not at all necessary, and unanimously returned a verdict, " That the ' deceased destroyed herself while in a state of temporary insanity." DE7PERNIINED SUICIDE OF A. PR ENCH ',Ain 0-.... Yesterday, at twelve o'clock, an inquisition was taken be fore Mr. Wakley, M.P., at the Rock Tavern, Lisson-grove, on the body of Marie Victoire Andre Isnaird, aged sixty four, a French lady of independent fortune. M. Augustus Chastelain stated that he resided with his mother, at No. 32, Grove-place, St. John's -wood. The deceased, who was a friend of his mother, resided with them. She had been very low and desponding of late. On the morning of Mon day, the 20th ult., the deceased not making her appearance as ;usual, Madame Chastelain sent the servant up to de• ceased's bed-room on the second floor to wake her, but she returned, saying she could not make deceased hear, and that her room door was fastened on the inside. Witness was out at the time, and, becoming alarmed, they sent for Mr. King, a neighbour, whe was passing, and who burst 'a B lotl open the door. Mr. James King d g e a po es s t e io d n, to an b d ein o g , b eV i l a r: in by the servant on the morning in htoalidpebryiedAtloadahmere friend, et weOt that a u k; tofeared her er so be m d e_ t t rs h .: l o ! , broke open the door. On entering he found the deceastO lying and on the bed on her back, with her hands up to her t ctenched tight. On removing them he found • s , ' m is s stuc k through the centre of the winclpire, and buried nearly up to the hilt in deceased's neck. The blood was, pouring from the wound, and the whole place was saturated. She had also tied a ribbon round her neck with a view In strangle herself, but had apparently failed. He ran for a doctor, as lie found deceased was still alive, and Mr. Rtggard, of Chureh-street, promptly attended, and with much difficulty extracted the knife. (It was here produced, and the greatest surprise was manifested as te how the deceased could have inflicted such a stab, it being an ordinary round pointed dessert knife. It was covered with blood up to the handle.) It further appeared that, after dress ing thu wound, the deceased revived and became conscious, and Mr. Burford, another surgeon, was called in, and attended her, She got better for some days, but gradually sank, and died on Wednesday last of the injury. The deceased admitted that she committed the act herself, but said she could not assign any cause for so doing. After some remarks from the Coroner on the extraordinary determination manifested by the deceased in the commission of the act, the Jury returned a verdict, " That the deceased committed suicide by stabbing herself in the throat whilst in a state of insanity." THE SOCIAL VI LL AG ERS--The eleventh anniver• sary of this Society took place at the Bedford Arms, on Thurs. day last, Mr. Sheridan Knowles (its founder), presided; Mr. A. M'Callan was the vice-president. The attendance was, as usual, numerous and respectable. The Chairman, on his health being proposed, returned thanks in a most glowing and animated speech, in the course of which he drew a most melancholy pic ture of the present degenerate state of the British drama, which he attributed, in a main degree to the exclusive patronage be. stowed by the aristocracy of the country on foreigners. " For whilst (said the Chairman) a theatre where the best and most sterling of our English plays are being continually well acted, d p r r a e m s e as n t a b r u et exhibited, comparatively ha empty m e o p n ty ben , t ant l c y h e e s r , o w t h d e one where audiences.w. hs r e'r e A n i c r h . them and, to, h and n d further observed, th a t h e Knowles said he was the author of a great number o f d ramatic pieces, none of which kept that possession of the s t age which he thought the a pplause with which they whichhad he been imtpourmteedrltyo there he had . ceived, so j reason i feared his las t production (now p er f orming at the Hayraarket) would in all probability soon share the sane fate as the o th ers just stated ; bad done.
