Back's-buildings, Rosemary-lane, and he in consequence went as fast as he cculd to the house, and knocked as loud as he could for admittance, but the landlord and landlady were so much affected at the appearance of the prisoner's wife, that it was some time before they could open the door. On his ob taining admittance he saw the prisoner's wife covered with blood from head to foot, and on her observing him she ex claimed " he has cut my throat with a razor," and the pri soner, who was standing at the top of the landing, replied, "Oh ! telly, don't shame me. You know I didn't." The prisoner also denied having used the razor to him ( Driscal), and said the only razor he had he would show to him, and he afterwards painted out the razor which he then produced, which he found on the mantel-piece, and which was without any marks of blood. The prisoner's wife having fainted from loss of blood, and the assistance of a medical man in the neigh bourhood having shortly afterwards arrived, secured a deep wound under the chin with adhesive plaisters, and recom mended her immediate removal to the London Hospital. This was done without delay, and the surgeons there, on examining the wound, sewed it, up in his presence, and on that morning he received the following certificate : " London Hospital, June 14, 1842. " This is to certify, that Ellen Foster was received into this hospital last night with a cut on her chin of about three inches in length, and that she is not at present in a dangerous state. " FREDK. MILNE, House Surgeon." The prisoner, though cautioned by the Magistrate, entered into a long and rambling history of the affair, and of the general conduct of his wife. He said that on Monday evening, on re turning from his work, he found his wife in the act of dressing, and he took her out for a walk and to purchase her a new dress While out they drank some beer, gin, Sze., and on their return home had more half-and-half with their landlord and landlady. They then went up stairs to their room, taking with them a pot of half-and-half, and he boiled some eggs in the kettle for supper, and while enjoying the latter they had some words. When about to eat his fifth egg he had a knife in his hand, and was going to cut the top off, when his wife rushed upon him, and he stretching his arm out to defend himself, the knife pressed against her, and inflicted the wound before mentioned. On his doing so his wife accused him of having cut her throat with a razor, and screeched out murder; but he assured her it was no such thing, and requested she would not make a show of him. The prisoner here proceeded to state that his wife was a person of drunken and vicious habits ; that she was in the habit of getting up after he went to bed, going into the streets and getting drunk, and going with strange men to improper hous..s. '1 he landlady of the house where the prisoner lodged, on the contrary, gave the wife an excellent character, and said he had been in the habit of treating her with great brutality. She also said that his wife had frequently declared on that morn ing that he had cut her throat with a razor. Driscol, the constable, also said that he had known the prisoner for some time, and that he always treated his wife, whom he ( Driscol ) believed to be very different to that which he had described her, in a brute-like manner. Mr. HENRY remanded the prisoner until his wife was able to attend and give evidence against hint. J. Atkinson, bobbin manufacturer:, Greenbank.

Mr. G. H. WINDER, wire-worker. Hanging Ditch, was then called to the chair, and opened the business in a long speech, composed of statements of distress, and decay of tradesmen, which had come under his personal observation. Mr. JAMES Ha seesoe, grocer and provision dealer, then moved the following resolution :—" That this meeting has heard with the deepest concern the appalling statements of im pending ruin to the different branches of trade with which they are connected ; that the distress has been long attaining its pre sent fearful aspect, and is daily increasing ; that we see no possibility of the slightest alleviation, much less improve ment, so long as the great mass of our population shall remain unemployed, or but partially employed at inade quate wages, whilst food is at a price which places it wholly beyond their reach, and reduces nine-tenths of those who should be our customers to a state of pauperism, and to the necessity of being maintained at our expense, instead of supporting themselves in en honourable independence by their own energy and industry." In moving this resolution, Mr. Hampson said he was one of those who had signed the circular calling the meeting, and it was not a matter of choice, lie thought, whether parties should come forward and state the condition of things around them, but a duty they owed to the public. He said it was a matter of notoriety that the shop keepers were getting worse daily. The only thing which kept them from coming forward to make the confession publicly, was the fact that it was too true, and the fear that it should be turned to their prejudice, by bringing their creditors upon them. They must naturally be getting worse : the people were earning less wages, there was consequently less money to spend among the shopkeepers, and they must of necessity be thinned and sunk down into the class beneteh them.—( Hear, hear. ) One of the evils arising from this less spending of money by the working classes amongst them, was the spirit of competition it gave rise to amongst the shopkeepers for the remainder of the business left ; a man when he did less business reduced his profits and prices, in the hoists of doing more again, and keep up his receipts. This could not last; some of thee, roust give way, and he ( Mr. Hampson ) had seen shops day by day closing around him. He pointed to the condition of the working classes, who kept getting worse, and so long as that was the case, what could the shopkeeper hope ? '1 heir interests were bound up with those of the working men, and with them they must stand or fall. Within the last three weeks ten or a dozen men in a party had come to his shop, and demanded relief, his wife gladly avail ing herself of the opportunity to put her own hand into the till to relieve them. Contributions on his neighbours through the street were levied at the same time, and in the same manner. Now, these were small beginnings; God knew where they would end ! It was madness to think of resisting them, and lie had made up his mind he would gladly see his shop stripped, if it would lead to the relief of the people; for the poor were dying around him of starvation in all directions.—( Hear.) Mr. NEALE, a broker, seconded the resolution, and followed up the statement already made with some facts tending to prove the wide-spread destitution of the working classes, and the con sequent suffering of shopkeepers. He said that in his °A n trade people were bringing articles to pledge if they could but get a penny upon them, but a great numler of brokers had ac tually such increased stocks, and had so far expended their capital that they could take no mere. Mr. GKOOME, linen.draper, said that shopkeepers he knew had not one-fourth nor one-sixth of the bu-iness they used to have with the working classes ; and instead of goo 1 Saturday nights' trade these nights were now often not equal to other nights. Where he used to have six customers of the workine chases he had but one, and these, too, were of ari nferior kind spending their money not upon new clothing, but upon rem nants and pieces for the purpose of repairing. The number of persons who came in to solicit charity was past lolief. There were no less than five shops in his immediate neighbourhood which had been obliged to close. One tradesm tri was at a rent of 801., and that man had stated to him that when he first took the shop his receipts for twelve months averaged 1001. a week; before he left the shop they did not amount to 20/. a week.--( Hear.) Mr. °seers, a tradesman sending hawkers into the neigh bouring villages, gave an account of his own trade, whi c h had suffered to a great extent, and described the houses of working people, with whom his hawkers had dealt for years, as being almost stripped of furniture, though they were people of sober and industrious habits. Mr. JOHN GA DSEY, printer and publisher, said in his own business many articles could not be got off hand at all, and said he was now paying one-third less wages, from his hands being thrown out of employ. Arr. JAMES LUKE, house agent and rent collector, gave a shocking account of distress among the working classes. He mentioned property which he could recollect letting so well that they had so frequently twenty or thirty names down in advance for the chance of becoming tenants ; now eight of the houses on ono side of the street were empty, though a reduction of 2!. 10e. has taken place out of 15/. He knew collectors who were actually afraid to meet their principals, so little money had they been able to collect of the rents of property intrusted to their care. Mr. PEATE, tailor and draper, said it was no use with holding statements for fear of creditors being brought upon them ; they would be infinitely worse off soon if such state ments were not made, so that relief might be forced. Ile would tell them that he was a Manchester man, bred and born, and had lived in it all his life, and had always been able till now to earn a respectable living, notwithstanding he had a heavy rent to pay, but he did not hesitate to say that he was now in a different position—his capital was wasting before his eyes, and be saw no hope of employinr, it to advanta ge . M r. Gadsby talked of th e b oo k tra d e being bad ; he recollected the time when he used to read himself, but he could assure them the whole of his time and energies were consumed to earn food for the bodies of his family.—( Hear, hear.) Instead of em ploying assistants, as he used to do, he had to do their work himself, and was becoming an emaciated, _worn-out man in earning a bare living.—( Hear, hear.) The resolution, after a number of other similar statements, was passed unanimously. Aarr, Hxywoon, in a clever speech, then moved— " That under these circumstances, and with a view to the full consideration of the subject, and the adoption of means for the attainment of immediate relief, we deem it advisable that a public meeting of shopkeepers be convened on Thursday even ing next, in the Town-hall, at seven o'clock." Mr. Buten seconded the resolution in an eloquent address, when the resolution was carried unanimously.

Yesterday was fixed for taking an audit of these bankrupts against whom a fiat was issued nearly 18 years ago, and the ease has been before the Court in one shape or another nearly fifty times. Two of the creditors (assignees), Mr. Deuew and Mr. Lee, were in attendance, with Mr. Hamilton, the solicitor to the fiat, and they severally expressed their anxiety that the accounts should be fully and impartially laid before the creditors and the public. Mr. Hamilton stated that the audit bad been adjourned over from the last hearing in order to enable the creditors to attend, and ascertain from them if they were satisfied with the accounts, and also that the solicitor for Mr. Artis, who was one of the co-assignees, should have an ample opportunity of stating his approval or disapproval of them. But none of the creditors being in attendance, nor the solicitor for Mr. Artis, he (Mr. H.) was bound to take it for granted that he and they were satisfied. Mr. Hamilton then proceeded to state that the increase of the assets in ten Sears had been about 30,000/., but still there were some difficulties in making a further dividend. With respect to the case of Mr. Waters, he (Mr. Hamilton) believed that before the next vacation his account could he settled, and that the balance, if any either way, would be but very small. There was no other very serious difficulty in effecting sales of the different estates, with the exception of the Opera House. A compromise was being negotiated with Mr. Waters upon the subject, who, however, had lodged an appeal in the House of Lords, which would of course delay the issue. There were also long and complicated accounts between Mr. Chambers and the assignees, but a compromise had in this matter also been agreed to, subject, however, to the opinion of the creditors ; and he hoped that after a short time a dividend (and that of no trifling amount) would be officially declared. Thus, it would he seen, that while the bankrupt's debts were about 200,0001., the assets realised were 170,0001., and there was no new stains beyond 8,8001., as Committee to the bankrupt's broth, r. He (Mr. Hamilton) had hoped that some of the creditors would have been present to hear the statement which he had made, but no doubt the ordinary channels of communication would make them acquainted with it. After some observations as to the attendance of Mr. Artis t who subsequently appeared, the hearing was adjourned. Commission by the Lord Lieutenant of Durham.

FURTHER DISCOVERIES OF ROBBERIES AT THE ITALIAN OPERA Houss.—Yesterday two young men, who gave their names as Francis Cook and Alfred Williams, were charged with stealing a quantity of glazed pink and yellow satin, glazed cotton, fringe, &c., the property of Mr. Thomas Warran, of No. 67, Oxford -street, upholsterer. The prosecutor stated that he was employed to fit up and de. corate the Italian Opera House, on the occasion of the late f anc y ball for the relief of the Spitaifields weavers. Vast quantities ofdifferent materials were supplied by him, for the purpose, and amonga them several thousand yard of glazed satins, of different colours. Since the ball took place he had missed above 300 yards of satin, and other property to a very considerable amount, part of which he believed to have been stolen from the theatre, and part from his warehouse adjoining his residence. The ar ticles produced were his property; there :were about 12 y ar d s of satin. The prisoners were perfect strangers to hint, and as far as he knew had no right to have the property in their pos session. After putting some questions to Mr. Warran, Mr. MALTBY said he should remand the prisoners until Monday next, and in the meantime the constable would inform the Superintendent of the division how the case stood, and he would, no doubt, take such steps as were necessary. Mr. Warran stated that he had discovered portions of the stolen property at different rag and female clothes-shops, which had, invariably, been sold for a mere trifle, pawn brokers refusing to take it in, as it had been used, and was not made up. Richard Foot, coachman to the Earl of Eglinton, who, with the Countess, is at present sojourning at the Clarendon Hotel, New Bond-street, was charged with causing an obstruction in Bary-street, St. James's, on the previous night, at ten o'clock, just at the time her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert were leaving the St. James's Theatre. Inspector Beresford, of the C division, stated that the prisoner drove Lord Eglinton's carriage up to the corner of Bury-street, in King-street, and insisted on remaining there, although he knew it was contrary to the orders of the Police Commissioners, issued and posted about in the neighbourhood for the regulating of the setting down and taking up of carriages at the St. James's Theatre, during the French plays. The position he had taken up caused a complete obstruction to the line of carriages, drawing off from the theatre, and also those from the Cale. donian Ball at Willis's Rooms. Witness pointed out to him the dangerous confusion and serious consequences that would, most i probably, occur from his persisting in remaining these, but he obstinately refused to move or give his master's name, and ultimately he was obliged to be pulled off the box by force, and taken to the station. house. He was at the time ir. a state of intoxication. The prisoner said he had had only one glass of ale during the day. Mr. MA vruy said it was well for hint that he had committed no assault upon the police, and that no accident happened through his misconduct ; in either case he should have dealt with it in a very different manner to that he intended. As it was, he should fine him in the full penalty of 40s. for dis obeying the regulations of the Police Commissioners. The prisoner grumblingly paid the fine and was discharged, CLERKEIV WELL. 111:C3 Foster was charged with having attempted to stab Mr. Charles Box, a gentleman residing in King's-road, Gray's Inn-square. From the evidence it appeared that the prisone r was i n t h e habit of receiving a weekly allowance of 75., which the com plainant paid him ; that on yesterday he went to Mr. Box's residence to receive it, but the latter refusing to give him more than 6s. in consequence of his irregularity of conduct, the prisoner took out a large carving -knife, and made a des • perate thrust at him. In default of finding competent bail he was committed to prison. . • A lad, about eleven years old, named James Divett, charged Francis Loriott, his master, a boot and shoemaker, tesiding in Brownlow-street, with cruelly maltreating him. The boy stated that on one occasion he had been knocked down by the prisoner; on another had his head laid open by a blow from the heel of a boot; and on last Friday his master had beaten him with a knotted rope's-end. Mr. GREENWOOD said he would punish the prisener to the utmost he was capab!e of. He should pay a fine of hi., or go to prison for three months; the indentures should be cancelled, and Loriott should return 124 of the 201. premium he had received. • V. BANKRUPTCY SUPERSEDED.

The additions made to Life Policies granted by this Corpo ration for the last seven years vary from 41 to 65 per cent. on the premiums paid, and average 14 per cent on the sums as sured—a result, it is believed, far more favourable to the as sured than any other Company has hitherto accomplished, when the low rates of premiums charged by this Corporation are taken into consideration. The next division of life profits will take place in December, 1846, being an interval of five sears, and persons entering be • fore the Ist of August next will enjoy one year's additional rating, and rank at next division of profits for five complete years. Forms of proposals may be had at the Offices, 449, West Strand, and 78, King William-street, City. F. G. SMITH, Secretary. The usual allowance to Solicitors and Agents. The object of this Society is to afford to the Assured all the benefits of Life-Assurance, at a great reduction in the rates of Premium. FOR EXAMPLE. A person aged 30, may with this Society assure his life for 500/., by the annual payment of 11/. 3s. 4d., which in a society where the Bonus is held out as a main inducement, would cost him 131. 7s. 4d., or, in other words, for the same annual pre mium he could at this Office assure very nearly 6001., whereby he derives AN IMMEDIATE AND CERTAIN BONUS OF 1001. All particulars as to Shares, Loans, Assurances, &c. may be obtained on application to the Secretary ; and, if required, forwarded to the country. Parties in the country eligible for undertaking Agencies are requested to apply. A very liberal Commission allowed to Solicitors Lnd Agents. EDW. T. RICIIARDSON. Actuary and Sec. UNITED KINGDOM LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY, 8, Waterloo-place, Pall-mall, London. Established by Act of Parliament in 1834. DIVISION OF PROFITS AMONG THE ASSURED. 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 Ir4l the Company declared an addition to the Share holders of one-half of their Stock, and also added 21. 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 Mareh 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.

The Directors hereby give notice to Members whose Pre miums fall due on the bth of July next, that the same must be paid within thirty days from that date. The Premiums are payable Yearly, Half-yearly, or Quarterly, on the sth of January, sth of April, sth of July, and sth of October, either of which several days constitutes the commence ment of the year to ME:4BEas. Persons, therefore, desirous of entering the Society, AS MEMBERS, on the sth of July next, should appear at the Office on or before that day. So various are the plans now before the public for effecting Assurance on Life, it may, at first sight, seem difficult to make choice between them. As, hossever, all prudent offices make a cQnsiderably higher charge in the annual premium than experience has hitherto shown to be necessary, but differ in the mode of disposing of the surplus or profit, the following classlication may be made : DIRE Ist. Prop ietary Offices, where all the surplus from pre miums and other profits is divided exclusively amongst the Share or Stockholders. 2d. Offices where the sanie is divided in various proportions between Share and Stockholders and the assured. 3d. Offices of a strictly mutual character, where the whole of the profit is equitably distributed amongst the assured only. The Metropolitan, which is of the last class, was established in 1t335, and although no paid agents for town or country have at any time been employed, nor any expensive system of adver tising resorted to, vet its advantages have beers so well appre cated by the public, that the annual premiums already exceed 33,5001. In consequence of the prosperous state of the Society's af fai.s, the Annual Premiums of Members of Five years' standing bays been reduced Forty-two and a Half per cent. A plan of the Society, with tables of rates, may be obtained cat a2plication at the Office. RICHARD HEATIIFIELD, Sueri n t eo d o pt. 801 c, June ii, Iso. PUBLICATIONS.

CEMENT-MOST IMPORTANT AND VALUABLE INVENTION. TO ARCHITECTS, Engineers, Contractors, Bui'ders. Masons, Plasterers, and the Trade, and also to Shippers. TIIE PATENT STUCCO PAINT CEMENT, surpassing every article hitherto introduced, possesses the fol lowing extraordinary and valuable properties. Remarkable adhesiveness, fixing most tenaciously to the smoothest surfaces (even to gist). It is perfectly impervious to wet or damp. The more it is exposed to the atmosphere, the harder and more durable it becomes. It is perfectly free from any of the caustic qualities of lime, and it may therefore be painted upon as soon as dry, as it is impossible that it can vegetate or change colour, nor can it be affected by frost or heat, or crack chip, or peel off. To Merchants and Shippers, it must form a most important item of commerce, as it will keep for any length of time, as fresh as delivered from the manufactory; with regard to price, it is cheaper than any other Cement, and its lasting qualities, render it a fortune to builders and others investing capital in building speculations. The Patentees have appointed Messrs. Mann and Co., 5, Maiden-lane, Queen-street, Cheapside, their sale agents, at whose warehouses any quantity may be had, specimens may be seen, and every information afforded. THE PERFECT SUBSTITUTE for SILVER. CATALOGUE, with ENGRAVINGS (Gratis), POSTAGE FREE.—The celebrity of the rich and silvery appearance and extreme durability of the material made ex clusively by ourselves, has induced many attempts to foist upon the public the notoriously deleterious German Silver under the guises of " Albata Plate," " Berlin Silver," &c. &c., against which we especially warn them. Aided by an eminent chemist, we have succeeded in purifying eur material so that acids do not afiect it ; it is now so well known and appreciated that it is universally superseding silver in all its uses. The genuine metal, which is more durable than silver, can only be had at our warehouses. It is the same through out, and can be engraved and made in all the various articles that are in silver, from which it can only be told by reference to the stamp. Fiddle Threaded King's Pattern.

IIENLEY REGATTA, Furst DAY—The announced regatta at Henley-on-Thaines yesterday, which had been looked forward to with a great de gree of sporting interest, turned out, we regret to say, but a sorry day's sport, not from any want of attention of those on whom the management devolved, but in consequence of a dis pute which arose as to the right of the Cambridge gentlemen to shift any portion of their crew, and a throw up on the part of the Oxonians in consequence of the decision. The nature of this dispute we will at once state, without offering any com ment on the subject. Amongst the list of entries, it will be remembered, that the two eights whose wager of Saturday last so distinguished those engaged, were both entered for tlI i Grand Challenge Cup at this place, and it of course. generally supposed and equsily as much desired, that a second struggle should take place between tistn. It was at the meeting at the Town-hall, to draw for stations, yesterday, that the wish of the aquatic public was doomed to be disap pointed—the present holders of the cop, the Cambridge Sub scription Room Club, held in London, declared that should the Oxonians win the trial race with their opponents of Saturday 'last the Cambridge Subscription Room crew would he juFtified in selecting any members from the Cambridgie University boat, and substituting them for others who might not feel dis posed to contend. This was strongly objected to on the part of the Oxonians, who were of opinion that the holders of the prize ought to confine themselves to their own crew, and the stewards and umpire having been called upon, decided that the Cambridge crew were justified in changing, on the ground that the members of the Universities were also members of the rooms in London. The decision was far from satisfactory, and two of the Oxford clubs, the University Boat Club, and. the Oriel Club, were withdrawn, and the entries for the sport were left to consist of four challengers for the grand sup in two boats ( the gentlemen being divided in consequence o f the narrowness of the stream), and four boats for tile secon:i heat, similarly arranged. The exceedingly late hour at which this 'account arrived in London, principally owing to the dispute we have spoken of. and a very viothut storm, which lasted two hours and a half. prevent us going into any lengthened detail.

CANIBRIDGE UNIVERSITY BOAT CLUB - OXFORD LONDON AQUATIC CLUB. The gentlemen did not start for this until nearly half-past eight in the evening, but it compensated for the lateness in tho day and the tediousness in the fore part. It was a sharp, splendid, beautiful race, and brought dowa shouts from a vast assemblage. They started level, and its about a minute the Oxford had slightly the lead. In another minute they were scull and scull, and in this way continued, at an almost incredible speed, to the winning post. It was gene rally considered a dead heat, at first sight, and then a report was in circulation that Oxford had won ; but the umpire, D. Bishop, Esq., being referred to, he pronounced the Caw.: bridge to have won by a" foot." STEWARD CHALLENGE CUP. This was with four -oared boats, and at the time of starting two of the crews had retired from the conflict, leaving the Lott don St. George's Boat Club and the Henley Dreadnought to try their fortune as challengers. DR&ADNOUGHT.—Messrs. Page, stroke; Crothurst, For rest, Ive, Tagg, steerer. Sr. GEORGE'S BOAT CLUB.—Messrs.

Bo h the crews rowed hard, and the Dreadnought won by a length. This was the whole of the sport of the day, and it wiil be seen in the course of the above that Mr. Vials was substituted for Mr. Penrose in the great Cambridge list of last Saturday; and as he had been in the room's boat, this was no doubt the knotty point at issue. We understand Mr. Penrose withdrew in consequence of a domestic calamity, and that Mr. Vials is duly disqualified. The sport of this day (Wednesday) will consist of matchos between the winners of the challengers and the present holders. We regret to say that there may be some trivial inaccuracies in the above names, but in the general melee we were fortunate to get at them at all. -- 14 . --- 1 0. period THUNDER STORM.—..-..ter an unusually on, pert of dry sultry weather, the metropolis and neighbourhood were , visited yesterday afternoon, about half-past fou r o'clock, w i t h to a thunder sto rm , ac,mpanied with a slight fall of rain.

The print of the Countess of Exeter is the greatest present to me in the world ; 1 have been trying for years, to no purpose, to get one. Reynolds, the printer, promised to beg one far me of a per, son he knows, hut 1 never had it. I wanted it for tour slit'. ferent purposes—first, as a grandmother (in-law, by the Cranes and the Allingt-ms) ; secondly, for my collection of heads thirdly, for the volumes of prints, after pieces in my eolhe , ion ; and, above all, for my collection of Faithornes, high, though so tine, wanted such a capital print ; and to this last I have preferred it. I give you unbounded thanks for it, and vet I feel exceeding ashamed to rob you."
