V" IA?. MONEY C ARE COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLoox. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed With an improving tendency, and compared with Friday's rates prices of low American were id. dearer ; other sorts commanded extreme rates. The sales were estimated at 12,000 bales, and con sisted of 500 for export and 2,000 on speculation (American), 400 Pernambuco and Maranhain at 61-d. to 7d., 350 Bahia at 6/d. to 60., 600 R.iyp tian at 60. to 11d., 800 Surat at 4td. to 41d., and 80 Sea I s l a nd s a t 10d. to 2s. 4d. per lb. The Railway Sh are Ma r ket - was brisk, with an apparent advance. Commercial advices from the principal manufac turing towns and ports in France daring the past Week show that trade continued in a very uncer tain state. On all sides preparations were being made for the expected revival of business this week upon the announcement of the re-establishment of peace. A further impetus to trade was expected to result from the anticipated reduction of the rate of discount by the Bank of France. On the other baud there has been a check given to the extent of foreign orders by the extraordinary rise in the value of raw materials for manufactures, at present, in first hands. This advance in prices, which ranges from 20 to 25 per cent. on previous cpiotations, is submitted to by purchasers for the home trade of France, as it occurs frequently at periods of commercial activity, but foreigners who can hold on prefer waiting or reducing their orders Until prices become lower. This increase exists in the material for fabrics of all kinds, more especially 14 ) Wool, and cotton. At Lyons and the chief manufacturing towns sales are not very active, but stocks on hand are being reduced, which wiil open the trade for summer novelties. At Paris the manu facturers in fancy articles have received additional orders, but these are limited on account of the dull ness of the season. This, however, is comparing the sale of luxuries, bijouteries, bronzes, &c., with last year, when the influx of foreigners visiting the Universal Exposition increased the sale in those articles beyond any year previously. The arrivals of specie by the Africa from the T-Tilited St a t es , an d th e La Plata, West India and Mexican mail-packet, amounts to about 729,6231. The official returns relating to the trade and na- Tigation of the United Kingdom for the month e nding February 29, 1856, have been published. From these it appears that the total declared value of exports for the month was 7,725,7471., being an i ncrease of 2,693,3311., compared with the like month of 1855. The increase is perceptible in beer and ale, butter, candles, coals and culm, cor dage, cotton manufactures, cotton, yarn, earthen- Ware, glass manufactures, haberdashery, hard- Wares and cutlery, leather, linen manufactures, linen yarn, metals, silk manufactures, worsted manu factures, woollen and worsted yarn ; but there was falling off in refined sugar, &c. The importations of the principal articles were larger for the month this year as res p ec t s live animals, animal charcoal, brimston e , cocoa, coffee, corn, cotton, cotton yarn, cotton manufactures, dyes and dyeing stuffs, flax, glass manufactures, leather manufactures, linen manufactures, metals, provisions, rice, spices, spirits, sugar, tea, tobacco, wine, sheep and lambs, Wool, and woollen manufactures. There was a diminution, compared with the same month last Year,,, in embroidery and needlework, fruits, hemp, bides, gloves, raw silk, and timber. The shipping accounts show that a larger aggre gate amount of tonnage was employed in the f oreign trade, both as regards the entries inwards and the clearances outwards. The re-establishment of peace being now secured, most parties in business are calculating the proba ble future course of monetary and commercial a ffairs. An immediate improvement will, it is ex pected, take place, and preparations will be commenced forthwith for a revival of activity in nose branch es o f t ra d e th a t have recently been comparatively neglected. In the condition of the Money Market an important change will gradually become apparent, and as the Bank of _lance has al rea dy re du ce d the minimum, rate ~u 1 discount 1 p er cen t., a n early relaxation ironi the high terms exacted in Thread needle -street is likewise anticipated to prevent u t t undue extension of speculative dealing which announcement of peace is likely to originate. Much caution will have to be exercised and the di rectors of the Bank of England will no doubt be aztretnely guarded in the policy they pursue. At ae same time if an alteration for the better can With safety be attempted it will no doubt be made as r soon as possibl e .

The long and rapid marches of fatig neatue an undermined the constitutions of the men, and sad loss o f l ife was the consequence of such prolonge d d hardship. Russia intends to build a large o f merch an t steamers at. Nicolaieff, and it is related that they w il l be very like the Vladimir, a vessel which Rave of the T ur k s a vast deal of trouble at the beginning the war. The Vladimir is said to have, been built in England, and to have passed through the Dardanelles ,111i13 Bosphorus into the Black Sea as a merchant vessel. te e Austrian Lloyd has some 64 steamers, and when Russians have as many they will, de facto, again be "taNtera of the Black Sea.

AN 'Rum Row.—A coSternaonger, named John Col lins, his wile, mother-in-law, and sister, were placed at the bar this morning, charged with stabbing a woman named Johanna Carre. From the evidence of the injured woman it appeared that she and a female contpanion were drinking some beer in a public-house in Wild•street last evening, when the man Collins entered and took up the pint pot out of which the women had been drinking, and threw the con tents into the face of the woman Carrs, and struck her a violent blow with the pewter pot. A row ensued, which ended in the man being given into custody. A crowd of Irish women and boys followed the parties to the station•house, amongst which wero the wife of Collins and the other prisoners. After the charge had been preferred against Collins it was found necessary, in order to protect Carrs from the threats of the women, for her to leave the station-house by the side door. Carrs and her companion had proceeded but a short distance from the court when she was overtaken by the wife of Collins and the other women, who commenced violently to assault her. A crowd soon assembled, and the five women commenced fighting. During the broil some of the bystanders called out that the woman Collins had a knife, and on Carrs getting up from the pavement it was discovered she had received a number of cuts about the head and face of so serious a character that it was deemed advisable to take her to the hospital, and on the arrival of the police Collins was conveyed to the station•house. As she was being taken there, earn and her daughttr attemp' ed to rescue her from the police. Assistance was procured, and the three women were eventually locked up. A witness deposed to seeing a knife in the hand of the woman Collins. On the prisoners being called upon for their defence, Carry said that Carry commenced the assault first by striking her with a hammer. The woman Collins denied that she used a knife, and the other prisoners said they had been drinking. Mr. HeLry fined Collins, his wife, and mother, five pounds each, or six weeks' imprisonment, and the younger girl he fined twenty shillings, or fourteen days' imprisonment.

The national ball of sport is once more set going in earnest, and the most gratifying proofs are afforded that it acquires strength in going. Doncaster, with its spring attractions, is again about to have a turn, and Think will follow closely. Professionally turfites are continually in a state of transition—flitting from meet ing to meeting all over the country. In the course of the afternoon the ram was nume rously attended, but " paying and receiving" chiefly oc cupied the attention. Shortly after four o'clock many of the members left for Doncaster. The betting, although limited, was marked by two or three movements of importance. Cannobie was backed for the Metropolitan at 4 and 5 to 1, and at 1000 to 25 and 1000 , to 30 for the Derby; at first 7 to 1 was taken to nearly 1001. about Van Galen, but at the close 10 to 1 was laid. The current price did not, however, exceed 100 to 12. Pyrrha was backed with some spirit at 20 to 1. For the Two Thousand 2 to 1 was taken about Fly by-Night, who was so closely pressed by Yellow Jack that 100 even was betted on Jack against hint. A few investments were made on Bird-in-Hand at 7 and 8 to 1. The principal bets on The Derby were 500 even on Fly-by-Night against Wentworti, and the same against Ellington.

"Why laughest thou, 0 Charon?" Every admirer of Lucien will remember the ad dress of Mercury to the grim ferryman of the Styx, whom he had encountered when out on a " day rule," and taking a stroll through the streets of Athens. As soon as Charon could speak for laughter he replied that he had just heard a man accept an in vitation to dinner and that instantly a tile fell from the roof and killed him—" so I laughed." If there be any beings now walking the earth with feelings akin to those of the grisly boatman— of combined contempt and loathing for the human race and for their ghastly wars, or still more ghastly pacifications, what a glorious laugh must they have had in contemplating the proceedings of the " Peace Conferences" at Paris, where a conclave of statesmen—"sly slow things, with circumspective eyes"—gravely performed an operation akin to that of the sluttish housewife, who sweeps the dirt under a corner of the carpet, and thinks, or feigns to think, because it is hidden it is removed. " Oh, cmca mens hominum." If this is the re sult, are not the rulers of England guilty before Heaven of all the useless bloodshed, and worse, which has made desolate so. many households in the east and west of Europe ? Well may the satirist say of those administrators— " Not one looks backward—onward still he goes; Nor e'er looks forward further tkan his nose." Not one of them perceives that the sore is only cicatrised, and that the "foul corruption mining 411 within" must sooner or later break out, when perhaps the patient may be too exhausted to en dure the drain. One hundred and one guns broke the silence of Sunday night with the announcement of a peace of such a nature that a second like unto it would be more ruinous to the nation than the most destruc tive war in which these realms have ever been en gaged. - As the Conferences were conducted in secrecy the announcement was appropriately conveyed in the darkness of the night. Well might it be so ; they who conducted them love the darkness rather than the light, because their deeds are evil. Let us now consider what we have gained and what wo have lost ; whom we have aided ; whom we have be trayed ; and for what purpose we have sacrificed lives innumerable, and millions yet uncounted and yet unpaid, during the sanguinary burlesque of the last two years. We went to war nominally because Russia had laid her grasp upon the territories of her neigh bour. We were determined—so at least we said— to uphold the independence of the Sultan and the integrity of the Turkish empire. The confiding Turk whose word has always been his bond, be lieved and trusted in our professions. Be allowed our fleets to enter his harbours ; he put his for tresses in possession of our armies ; he placed the greatest general in Europe and a fine army at our disposal ; and fearfully have we betrayed this con fidence. Take first the original cause of the war —the Principalities. We are ready to make any change, any alteration in their constitution except that which plain common sense and plain common honesty would point out as the true one. We would divide them, if such a division would weaken them, for Russia or Austria; we would bind them together if it would strengthen them against the Porte. We were ready to have deprived the Sultan of them alogether, although we knew that their cession would be a breach of hospitality upon his part which his religion forbids him to commit ; we would, in fact, have done everything and anything except place them in the position which Servia has occu pied to her own advantage for so many years, lying under the suzerainty of the Porte, with her fron tier fortresses occupied by Turkish troops for their defence against foreign aggres,ion. Obstacles, moral or physical, were as nothing to us ; ancient allegiance we broke down ; but we have since raised a range of mountains in Bessarabia which have vanished to make way for a commission of in quiry. Will not the example of the treaty of Gulistan, in which we pledged the honour of Eng land for the faith of Russia, who, in the natural course of events, laughed in the face of England, and kept the lands which she was pledged to see restored to Persia—will not this, we say, open their eyes to what the faith of Russia is worth 1' Alas, it will not. Eyes have they, and see not ; ears have they, and hear not. Scientific diplomatists ! they can discern the face of the sky, but cannot understand the signs of the times. Thus have we contrived to sacrifice, in one point, both the independence and integrity of that ally in support of whom we called God to witness we took up arms in good faith. We shall return again to other instances of our bad faith to Turkey, and to that future punish ment which that bad faith must bring upon our heads, merely promising that what we have alluded to above is neither the last nor the worst. That such is the case will be shown by the unanswerable proof which it is in our power to give, that the treaty of the Bth of May, 1854—now to be abro gated by a most scandalous breach of faith—was absolutely entered into at a moment when mea sures had been taken and despatches written which would render the forfeiture of our pledged faith an absolute and inevitable necessity. Naval and Military Intelligence. Our Malta correspondent, in his letter of the 26th ult., gives the following account of arrivals and depar tures of vessels "The Malcolm Brown and Arabella schooners, with Government stores and merchandise, arrived from Lou don o❑ the 2.4tb, and during the past three days a whole fleet of colliers have come in.

"Her Majesty's steam-packet Caradoc arrived from Marseilles on the 23d, and leaves shortly for Alexan dria, to be at the disposal of the Earl of Dalhousie, the Governor-General returning from India. By the Cara doe accounts were received of the birth of the anxiously looked-for heir to the Throne of France, and accordingly on the following morning a Te Dco n t was chanted at the Carmelite church, at which, on the invitation of the French Consul, the British and naval authorities, the officers of the British and French ships of war in port, and the foreign consuls attended. The ships of war iu port dressed in colours, those of England displaying conspicuously the tricolor, and those of France the St. George's ensign of England. At noon the Prince Jerome fired a grand imperial salute of 101, and all the British ships of war a Royal Salute of 21 guns. The Royal standard of England was hoisted at the palace flagstaff and on several other public establishments, and the Union Jack on every fart throughout the island. All the foreign Consuls hoisted their national colours, and every merchant ship in port was dressed out with tele graph flags innumerable.

" The Prince of Wales screw steamer, from London, left for Constantinople on the 25th. " The Ottoman mew stosmer Ivialakhoff arrived from Liverpool on the 26th, with a general cargo fox: Constan tinople." The screw despatch gunboat Intrepid, Commander Wood, having sailed from Woolwich on Saturday last for Portsmouth, was swung at Greenhithe to undergo the (customary regulations before proceeding to sea, when it was discovered that a considerable quantity of water had entered from a leak, supposed to be in some part of her hull. Information to that effect was conveyed the same evening to the dockyard at Woolwich, and an inspection of the vessel speedily took place. She was towed up to Woolwich by the steamer Monkey, Master- Commander Syndecombe, and subjected to the requisite overhaul on Sunday, but it appears that no satisfactory conclusion sufficient to account for the defect has as yet been obtained. She was again ordered down the river on trial, for the purpose of watching the working of her screw, as it was imagined the fault lay in that direction. The gun-boat Mastiff, No. 22, took up her moorings yesterday off the Arsenal at Woolwich from Deptford, to be stored with ammunition and to join the flotilla at Portsmouth. The gun-boat Procris, launched at Nortbfleet, arrived on Saturday at Woolwich, and was admitted into the fitting basin yesterday morning. The gun-boat Grappler, which arrived at Woolwich likewise on Saturday from Blackwell, was received into the fitting basin at Wool wich at the same time. A new mortar float has likewise been received at Woolwich, of the same kind as the for mer six, which are now ready for service. Two others of the same class are to-arrive there tomorrow. 156 non-commissioned officers and privates of the 10th battalion Royal Artillery have been paraded at head quarters, Woolwich, and passed examination for foreign service, 80 of whom, commanded by Capt. Morris, R.A., are to embark in a day or two on board the transport E4court for Quebec, and the remainder, 76. under the command of Lieut. Watts, R A., will leave Woolwich, by the Lady Amherst, for Halifax, to make up casual ties which have occurred in the ranks of the Royal Artillery corps stationed in the above-named places. In consequence of the instructions issued from the Horse Guards great exertions are being made by the military authorities at Chatham to have the whale of the infantry stationed at that garrison instructed in the theory and practice of the Enfield rifle. The whole of the non-commissioned officers and men belonging to the depot of the sth Northumberland Fusiliers, under the command of Captain W. Lyons, have completed their course of instruction in the rife practice, and are ready to be draughted to various stations for the purpose of instrecting the troops. Yesterday Colonel Jervis, com mandant of the Provisional Battalion, selected 84 non commissioned officers and men from the various depots at the Provisional Battalion to be instructed in the use of the Enfield rifle. The following were the depots which furnished men for this duty—viz., the 35th, 40th, and 52d Light Infantry ; 75th, 83d, and 87th Royal Irish Fusiliers. The whole of the above are relieved from the ordinary garrison duty and placed under the super intendence of Captain W. Nott, 83d Regiment, the in• structor of musketry at Chatham ; and, as soon aFothey have obtained a competent knowledge of the use of that important weapon, they will be prepared to be sent to the several British stations far the purpose of instructing the troops on the home service. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty : W. J. Mainprise, to be Master Attendant of the Malta dockyard ; John F. Mitchell, to be Acting As sistant-Surgeon to the Hastings. It is understood that the British German Legion, which has been raised by Baron Stutterheim to meet the exigencies of the war, will be sent, now that peace has been concluded, to the Cape of Good Hope. At the Cape they will garrison the colony, and officers and men will receive grants of land for their military ser vices Colonel Worldridge'e brigade will return from Scutari, and form part of the force at Aldershot camp before embarkation for the Cape. The strength of the force will muster by about the 10th of April, when all the recruits en route will be delivered, about 9,000 men. The justice and liberality of thus disposing of the Ger mans is unquestionable. Most of the officers have thrown up their commissions and prospects of advance ment in the Austrian, Prussian, Hanoverian, and Bava rian armies for the purpose of serving England, and, having got away with great difficulty, they would never be received back again into their former service. And as for the men, if they were disbanded, thousands of them would not be allowed to return to their homes ; and if they attempted to go beak they would be perse cuted, if not imprisoned. It is a matter of good policy also to provide for and keep the German Legion in our service, for on any future emergency, east or west, they would be available ; and the fact of their having been so liberally dealt with will have the very best effect throughout Germany, from which, should another war arise, treble the number of men might be easily recruited. - . ~~ }.

WRIGHT, THE COMEDIAN.- -The greatest excitement prevailed in the Strand last evening, in consequence of the sudden and unexpected closing of the Adelphi Theatre. From inquiries made at the theatre by the reporter it was learned that Mr. Wright had entered the house but a few minutes, and while in company with his dresser that he was suddenly perceived to be attacked by the most alarming symptoms, which rendered him all but insensible. Two medical gentlemen were promptly in attendance, who deemed it advisable that he should be at once taken home. In company with the two medical gentlemen, he was conveyed to the stage door, and taken with all possible speed to his residence at Chelsea. It was thought by the employes of the theatre that the illness was attributable to a violent attack of determi nation of blood to the head. The theatre, in conse quence, was at once closed. FINWIWNIFINSI LITERATURE. Contemporary Memoirs of Russia, from, the Year 1727 to 1744. By General Christopher Her mann V. Maustein. Longman, Brown, Green, and Longmans. A contribution towards the history of Russia, and of the rations with which she had dealings iu the above eventful period, by a Russian officer of distinction - deemed of sufficient import ance t o b e edited in English by David Hume, in his time, and after being re-edited, collated with the original French, and illustrated with brief notes, to be again presented to the English public by a Hert fordshire Incumbent. In short, a valuable aid to the historical student ; and far from ill-timed, even at the present hour, when a check having been administered to Russian aggression, peace is all but proclaimed with that country. The next thing to be looked for is an attempt by Rus sian partisans at home to show that nothing was ever to be seriously apprehended from Muscovite ambition, and that the war was a costly combat with a chimaera of our own imagination. The reader has but to peruse these pages to be tho roughly armed against any such insidious and traitorous attempt. He will then discover in the revelation made by the writer of the hideous self fishness and reckless immorality of the Russian Court and the policy which it pursued towards Turkey, Persia, Poland, and Sweden a century ago, a reason for regret that peace was concluded so early and. on such easy terms, rather than occa sion for surprise that hostilities were ever entered. on. That so far from combating a Conservative power the Allies in waging war with Russia eon.* fronted the aggressive march of the most frightful barbarism that ever menaced the liberties and civili sation of Europe. The Mormons al Home. By Mrs. B. G. Ferris . : New York : Dix and Edwards. London: Samp. son Low, Son, and Co. Just the sort of work we have been anxious to see—a brief, clear, and unexaggerated revelation of the domestic workings of the Mormon system, of which polygamy is now avowedly, though long de nied, an important item. The writer accompanied her husband, newly appointed to the United States Secretaryship for Utah, to the Mormon capital, where they resided during the winter, and she had abundant opportunity of lifting up the veil which conceals the inevitable consequences of the spiritual wife system from the gaze of passing observers ; and most painful are her revelations. All honest womanhood is described as crushed beneath a load of wretchedness and misery, and such of the male population as are not mere dupes, only fit for the meridian of Norfolk Island.' A society of fanatics controlled by a gang of licentious villains." "The effect of the Mormon creed is evidently to gather together a low class of villains, and a still lower class of dupes, and it follows that the latter are easily governed. The only disturbing element is that the villains may quarrel among themselves, and so far as I can learn this has hap pened on more than one occasion." " One scarcely knows whether to be amazed most at the profane profligacy of the leaders or the superstitious credu lity of the dupes." Such are the comments of the author, an American lady, on the exhibition of Mormonism ' 6 at home." Besides penetrating the mysteries of the harems of Utah, Mrs. Ferris availed herself of the opportunity afforded by the position of her husband to give us life-like portraits of some of the principal Mormon leaders, including the arch-rascal Brigham Young, with whom they were brought in contact in the transaction of business. The chief characteristic of the book is the evident truthfulness and honesty of purpose of the writer ; and her revelations, being transmitted in letters to her friends at home, have all the vividness of first impressions. In addition to the details of her ex periences iu Utah, the reader is presented with a graphic narrative of some incidents of travel in her journey from Missouri to Utah, and from thence to California. Altogether the book is roue which will well repay perusal, and cannot be too extensively circulated among those classes more especially open to the arts of the rascally Mormon missionaries in this country. The Mercantile and Maritime Guide. By Graham Willnaore, Esq. , M.A., and Edwin Bsdell, E 5. W. Mackenzie. A clear and compendious treatise, or series treatises, setting forth the rights and obligations of the mercantile and maritime communities in a popular and reliable form. A work which, it is not too much to say, it will be to the interest of the members of both to have by them for consultation in order to the satisfactory prosecution of business. Iu it will be found a lucid exposition of the law of ectingthem arising from the custom of merchants, the decisions of Courts, and the enactments of the Legislature ; together with the orders and regula tions bearing upon shipping, upon foreign and home trade, issued by Government boards, and other competent authorities ; and a fund of practi cal information upon miscellaneous matters offact. Nothing, in short, appears to be wanting which it is essentially necessary to the welfare of merchants, shipowners, masters, mates; seamen, agents, and brokers, in their respective business capacities and relations to know. When, therefore, it is remem bered how multifarious, and otherwise difficult of access such kno N ledge is, and what will arise from the want of it, the value pf a manual so compen dious and so carefully elaborated, and easily to be comprehended as this is, becomes obvious, and enough has been done to secure aready and general. acceptance of the "Mercantile and Maritime Guide." Wine Duties. By W. Bosville James. Longman, Brown, Green, and Longmans. An able reply to Sir James Emerson Tennant on " Wine : Its Taxation and Uses." The author discusses the question both on financial and social grounds, and succeeds in showing, among other things, that Government, by the perpetuation of the prohibitory duties on French wines, shuts out from our manufacturers a most promising field of commerce, numbers of our operatives from remu nerative employment, insures bad wino for home consumption, and confines the population to bever ages the use of which is more or less injurious to health and morals, and, consequently, to the wel fare of society. The wine duties are coming daily into more prominence ; and those, more particu larly, who are desirous of acquiring a competent knowledge of the subject to enable them to form an opinion and take a course of action thereon, will do well to purchase this work and master its contents. Ilints to Horsemen. By Harry Hieov..lr. T. C. Newby. A valuable handbook, which ought to be in the possession of all parties engaged or interested in the breeding, training, or selection of horses for sale, or having horses to buy or sell, showing as it does how money may be made of horses, besides giving useful general information respecting these animals, and on equestrian matters generally. What sorts to buy, what sorts to breed from, what to look for, what to avoid, when to sell, and bow to sell to ad vantage—on these and other heads the reader will find a good deal of trustworthy information. It is scarce:y necessary to remark that " Harry Hie over" is considered an authority in such matters, having already supplied a number o f va l u abl e a nd popular contributions to our sporting literature. ROYAL INSTITUTE OF BRITISH ARCHITECTS.—Last night, at a general meeting of the members of this society, held at their house in Grosvenor-street, Earl de Grey presiding, the Royal gold medal of the institute for 1855 was presented by the chairman in a complimen tary speech to Mr. Tite, the member for Bath, and a Fellow of the Institute. Mr. Donaldson afterwards read an interesting paper on' the triumphal arches of Rome. Silver medals were also presented to Messrs. T. A. Brit ton, L. R. Roberto, and T. C. Sorby, and a prize in books to Mr. C. N. Beazley. Mr. F. Marrable was elected a Fellow, and Messrs J.K. Colling,, J. C. Scoles, and T. P. Smith. Associate of the Institutes. THE LATE SEVERE GALE IN THE BLACK SEA.— CON STANTINOPLE, March 20.—The British barques Attale, of Gloucester, Captain Wetlieran, and General Chasse, of Bristol, both laden with hay for the British Govern ment, at Bristol for this port, were driven on shore on the point of Koumbournou, coast of Troy, opposite Tenedos, on the morning of the 7th March, during a heavy gale at south, and soon after bilged, and filled ; they have both been surveyed, and condemned as wrecks. The loss of a British vessel at Eupatoria, but not her name, is reported here. several disasters are F aid to have occurred on the coasts of the Black Sea, from Sulina downwards. Assistance is being sent off as far as Iniada. The weather has been very boisterous and bad for more than a week. DEATH OF A MISER.—On Saturday, Thomas Harri son, who was reputed to be in the most abject poverty, expired in an obscure lodging on Great Saffron-hill,, During an occupation extending over a quarter of a century, he never associated with any of the neighbours —he went out every morning at 8 o'clock, and return d in the evening, and it was considered that he touted for employment as a porter. About ten days since he was , taken alarmingly ill, when he called for the assistance of a neighbour, who advised that a medical gentle man should be sent for, and also that his friends should be made acquainted with his case ; both of which were attended to, and some relatives — who are in easy circumstances—in St. George's-in-the East, at tended, and had the old man, who is nearly 70 years of age, made comfortable, and supplied his wants. Shortly before his death, he added a codicil to his will, which he bad deposited in a secure place. It was ascertained that he bequeathed upwards of 7,0001. in Consols to his rela tions, not one of whom he had seen for 30 years, and to the kind neighbour who attended bits be left 201. ex• Was ins, 9th to Ind the poi ere. g at vg. p• - An was the the and and iOO 5 )1 0 g 00 s 3 1 - 0 1 sere rob. ring , the 601 1 pule still are s be• ith sited coo' atter L 7• oaleil. 9C 9.i all 100 100 100 1 ,100 100 1001 all all ail I.K, , 32s 1 100 ltiO t :3 100 ifk Cu 100 100 :3 , le , 1 25 LOO 40 1.6 20 100 100 100 20 20 100 10 5 100 25 25 29 81 6 ii i 29i i 50 i i 36,} 16 1 53 i 14i 2i i 7i 7 IGi i 101 Fwd.' 25 1: 10ii 1341 MIMI
