CHARGE OF WILFUL MURDER.—Robert Williamson, aged 63, described in the calendar as a baker, was indicted for the wilful murder of his wife. Hef was also similarly charged at the Coroner's inquest. Mr. Clarkson was counsel for the prosecution, and Mr. C. Jones defended the priSoner.. From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner was a Chelsea ; pensioner, living in Chelsea Hospital With his wife. On the 26th of October it appeared that the prisoner and his wife returned home to the Hospital intoxicated • the wife fell down stairs, or, as it was asserted on the part of the prosecution, the prisoner, who had quarrelled with her, knocked her down stairs. From the fall,, after lingering for some time at St. George's Hospital, she expired. Mr. 'Toms, at considerable length, addressed the Jury for the prisoner. Several Chelsea pensioners and others gave the pri soner an excellent character for humanity. Lord DENMAN summed up, and _ _ . The Jury, after a short consultation, found the prisoner Guilty of manslaughter, but strongly recom mended him to mercy.—Sentence deferred. NEW COURT. A YOUNG SWELL MOB-MAN.—A genteelly-dressed lad, named James Bull, 14 yeari of age, was indicted for stealing a bundle of cigars, value 21., the property of Jane 'Miller. It appeared in evidence that the prisoner went to the shop of prosecutrix for a small quantity of snuff; while he was there, a man came into the shop, and after inching some communication to the prisoner, went out again. After he left, the cigars were missed. They were safe when he came in, and he had an oppor tunity of taking them. It being clearly proved that the prisoner was the thief, the Jury found him Guilty. The COMMON SERGEANT inquired whether the pri soner was known ? Mr. Jonas said he had been once before convicted, and sentenced to four months' imprisonment and hard labour ;* he had also been several times in the House of Correction, and once privately whipped. The COMMON SERGEANT inquired how he came by the genteel suit of clothes he had on? A Sergeant of Police said he was supported by the " Swell Mob," of which he was a young and active member. The COURT was of opinion that the prisoner was far too incorrigible and expert a fellow to remain any longer in this country. He was one . of a numerous and dangerous gang of desperadoes, but he must now bid them farewell. The sentence was that he be transported beyond the seas for seven years. John Oldershaw was convicted of stealing five silver spoons, the property of Mr. John Hallam, of Charter house-square. The prisoner was known at the house, and went there with his brother. He stole the spoons, and afterwards sold them to a salesman. The prisoner being well known to the police, he was sentenced to seven years' transportation. A BATCH 07 SMASHERS.—The Court was occupied the greater part of the morning in disposing of eight cases in which the prisoners were indicted for possess ing and uttering counterfeit coin. - The evidence was clear in the cases of all the prisoners, except one, a female, who was acquitted. The others were sen tenced to hard labour for terms varying from four to twelve months each. BIGAMY.—John Cormick, a farrier, was indictedfor feloniously intermarrying with Sarah Hall, his former wife being still alive. It appeared that, on the 17th of October, 1837, the prisoner married Sophia Swan, at Yateley, near Southampton, and that on the 18th of Sept., 1842, he married Sarah Hall, at Fulham, in the county of Middlesex. The first marriage was proved by the father of the woman Swan, and the person who gave her away. The prosecution was instituted by the father of the first wife. The second marriage was also clearly proved. The prisoner in his defence said his wife had left him three years ago, and was living with another man. It appeared from one of the'witnesses, who was re called, that this was not the case. A letter was also produced from the first wife to the second, stating that the prisoner had robbed her of her goods, and left her destitute with one child ; that she should be happy to " come against him" if she should prosecute him; and concluding by informing her that "he was no husband of hers." It was dis covered also that the prisoner had been in Oxford Gaol for robbery. The sentence was postponed to ascertain whether this was the case or not. POLICE IN'I'ELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.) A very elegantly-dressed, handsome female, named Cohen, a Jewess, was placed before Mr. Jardine, charged with attempting to commit suicide by throw ing hergelf from Waterloo-bridge. It appeared that the policeman was called last night to one of the recesses on Waterloo-bridge, where a gentleman was holding the prisoner, who had attempted to throw herself from the bridge. They persuaded her to go home, and she went away, but shortly after-, wards returned without her bonnet and shawl, and again attempted to jump from the bridge. She was then taken into custody. The father of the prisoner, who appeared in Court, stated that she had been married about five years. When she was married, he gave her a fortune, but her husband had got through it. They subsequently went into business in the City-road, but this also had been disposed of. The prisoner had lately separated from her husband, and he supposed that this had preyed upon her mind. The prisoner, in her defence, said that she was tired of her life. Mr. JARDINE asked if she still persisted in her de termination, but she would not ansyver the question. Her father said he would go to her husband, and ask him to come and take care of her. Mr. JARDINE said this would be the best course to adopt, and the prisoner was put back until her hus band should arrive. UNION HALL.—(THIS DAY.) Thomas Hayes was charged with entering the house of Mrs. Susan Windsor, for the purpose of com mitting a robbery. The complainant was sitting in her back parlour on the preceding night, when she heard a noise in her front room, on going into which she saw the pri soner secreted behind the door. On seeing her the pri soner immediately ran towards the window, and throwing it up, attempted to jump out, but he was seized in a very courageous manner by the complain ant, who held him, notwithstanding his struggles, un til, by her screams, assistance arrived, when he was given into custody. The prisoner, who is a well-known thief, had provided himself with a jemmy, and other housebreaking implements. He was committed. An interesting-looking woman named Banks was charged with assaulting and threatening the life of Edward Jones, a builder. _ The parties had cohabited together for three years, when the complainant, desirous of breaking off the connexion, being on the eve of marrying a young lady, which circumstance came to the knowledge of the defendant, she attacked him in the street and scratched him in the face, declaring her determination to " limb" him for deserting her. her conduct while in the Court was so violent, that it was necessary to confine her to prevent a repetition of the assault on the complainant.—She was held to bail. CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DA Y.) George Frost, an Irish farmer, was brought up on remand, charged with violating the person of Mary Anne Clifft on Thursday last. The prosecutrix, a good-looking girl, is bar-maid at the Coach and Horses public-house in Great Ormond yard. The prisoner has been lodging there for the last week. lie was committed for trial on the capital charge. He had come to London for the purpose of seeing his landlord to obtain a reduction of the rent. MARYLEBONE_(THIS DAY)• Robert Drummond, a most respectably dressed man was placed at the bar before Mr. Long on a charge of assaulting police•constable 102 D, while in the execution of his duty. The complainant stated that while on duty yester day night a little before 12 o'clock in the-Harrow road, he saw a person standing, in a corner caused by a projecting house, on the opposite side of the way, and he crossed over to dook who, it was. While glancing at the defendant's face, for it was he, he re ceived a violent blow in the stomach, from the effects of which he was yet suffering, and as he also . used abusive language and threatened further violence he took him to the station-house. The defendant had evidently been drinking. There were no other witnesses present at the time. The defendant denied the truth of the complainant's statement, and said that he had been supping with Mr. Gore, a neighbour of his, and had left him about half-past eleven. On his way to his own house he dropped in at the " Crown, " where had one glass of ale, and spoke a few words to the landlord; he then left, and was standing upon the step of his own door, having just rang the bell, when the policeman came over and collared him, saying—" What are you doing there ?" He (defendant) then did what he conceived any respectable man would do in the same circumstances, pushed off the policeman rather smartly, telling the policeman at the same time that he was at his own door. There was no other person near, and he would call a neighbour as witness to his sobriety at the time. Isaac Toun said he saw Mr. Drummond while standing at the bar of the Crown, and he was per fectly sober. The defendant said he could also call the landlord of the Crown and Mr. Gore, but Mr. Long wished to see the Sergeant who took the charge at the station-house. Sergeant COnolly was called, and said that the pri soner, when taken to the station-house, was very tipsy. , Mr. LONG said he believed the constable's statement THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 2, 1842 to be the correct one, and would, therefore, .fine .the defendant 405.,' - for the assault. The money was paid, and Mr. Drummond left the Court. THE MARKETS.-THIS DAY. CORN EXCHANGE. Although we have received a very moderate ar rival of English wheat up to our market this week, the demand for that article to• day was excessively heavy, and Monday's quotations were with difficulty supported, without affecting advances. Scarcely any foreign wheat has come fresh to hand, yet so heavy was the sale for it, that the prices remained nominally unaltered. Barley was a mere drug, and might have been purchased on easier terms. The same may be said of Oats. Malt, Beans, Peas, and Flour com manded little attention.

The best Beef sold at full rates of cur rency; but the middling and inferior descriptions were much neglected. Although the number of Sheep was comparatively small, the inquiry for them was dull, at previous quotations. Calves were in good supply, and heavy demand, at in some instances a de cline of 2d. per 81bs. The Pork trade was in a very sluggish state. Milch Cows went off at from 161 to 19/ lOs each, including their small Calf. PRICES PER STONE OF BLB., TO SINE THE OFFAL. s. d. to s.

We have had a very heavy inquiry for all kinds of Hops here since our last report, yet the value of the best qualities has been mostly maintained ; that of the out of condition sorts having a downward ten dency.

SUGAR.—The demand for British Plantation is con fined to the immediate wants of the trade, and former prices have been with difficulty obtainable, but no gene ral reduction can be quoted. The transactions only amount to about 900 hhds, inclusive of 100 hhds Bar badoes, which sold briskly by auction at 60s to 68s 6d for low to fine quality, being for the finer sorts fully 6d to Is dearer. Molasses—About 250 puns ord to good St. Vincent's sold at 24s to 28s. Mauritius— There is scarcely any inquiry. Bengal-3,203 bags, nearly all sold, but went off heavily, and in some instances at a decline of Is, more particularly on the lower sorts ; low to good white brought 62s 6d to 67s 6d, a few bags fine 69s 6d, and mid to fine yellow 57s 6d to 625. Foreign—The de mand has extended now to nearly all descriptions, but the transactions have been less than last week, chiefly attributable to the few parcels offering, and the high prices asked ; 2,000 boxes yellow llavannah sold (on the spot) at 19s to 22s for low to fine quality, 100 chests mid to fine white Bahia and Pernambuco at 23s 6d to 25s 6d, and 600 bags mid brown Manilla at 16s, all of which are extreme rates. Refined— There is no improvement to notice either in the de mand or value of grocery descriptions ; for Crashed holders ask a considerable advance (say 28s for fine quality) on the previous value, and scarcely anything has been d one -26 s h ave, h owever , b een paid. COFFEE. —There is no improvement to notice in the demand for home consumption. The public sales have only offered 93 casks, 45 barrels and bags, Bri tish Plantation; and 3,209 bags East India, consisting of about one-third Dutch Company's Java, and the remainder chiefly Singapore ditto ; the former only partly sold at about previous rates, but being mostly in small lots, affords no criterion of the market. Of the Dutch Company's Java, only about 300 bags found buyers at 45s to 50s for good ord yellowish to fine brown, good ord pale was taken in at 43s 6d to 445, which are rather lower; nearly all the remainder was disposed of at 33s to 39s for good to fine ord, and fine dark coloury dingy at 46s 6d to 565 6d, with a few hags at 60s to 61s Gd, being generally rather higher. Good ord brown Sumatra and ord grey Ba tavia were taken in above the value, the former at 27s Gd, and the latter at 29s 6d to 30s. Th ere h as been rather more inquiry for mid and lower sorts of East India (for export) but there being at present very few parcels offering, and holders asking higher prices, few transactions have taken place; fine Padang has been sold at '3os, which is a shade dearer. Foreign descriptions have also been in rather better demand, and 397 bags Domingo sold briskly in public sale at 31s 6d to 32s 6d (with 1 per cent. discount) for good ord mixed to good ord even coloury, which is an advance of fully 6d. Privately very little has been done, owing chiefly to the want of parcels offering. COCOA.—Forty barrels St. Lucia brought to auction sold at 32s for mid red. Rum.—Two hundred puns Jamaica have been sold at 2s 9d to 3s 10d for mid to good quality ; and fine ditto at 4s to 4s 6d. RICE.-2,278 bags Java found buyers, and went off briskly at lOs 6d to lls for mid white, being an advance of 3d to 6d. A fair business has been done privately in Bengal, at rather high rates. SALTPETRE remains neglected, 1,021 bags offered, only about two-thirds sold at 25s 6d to 26s for per cent. refraction, a decline of 6d. to Is. For Ni trate of Soda former rates are with difficulty. obtainable. SPICES.—The speculative demand for Pepper has almost entirely subsided, although purchases could be made at a decline of fully id to id. 3,519 small bags Malabar, and 2,127 bags Sumatra were offered, the former found buyers at 3id to 38dfor good light to fine heavy (shot kind). The Sumatra was all taken in at 3d to 3id for ordinary to good black. Of 584 bags Pimento, only one-half found buyers at 2id for middling quality. In Cassia there is no change to mention. CorroN.—The improved demand, noticed in our last, continued until yesterday, when there was rather less disposition evinced to purchase. TEA.—The public sales have gone rather lower. They will conclude to-day, very little havingbeen sold. TOBACCO has been very brisk. COUNTRY CORN MARKETS. Wheat. I Barley. I Oats. I Beans.

N.—Their Excellencies the Lord Lieutenant and the Countess De Grey, with Mr. and Lady Mary Vyner, Mr. Magenis, and suite, left the Vicereg-al Lodge yesterday, on a visit for a few days to Mr. and Lady Florence Balfour, at their seat, Townly Hall, Drogheda. The Government have sent down Mr. Nicholas Kelly to take charge of the district of Skibbereen, considering it expedient, on account of the recent de plorable affray in that place, to remove Mr. Gore Jones to another district. 'Mr. Kelly went down to Skibbereen on Saturday night. On' Sunday an inquest was held before George Brad shaw, Esq., and a respectable jury, on the body of the late James Scully, Esq., of Kilbeach, and, after a lengthened investigation, a verdict of " Wilful mur der" against some person or persons unknown was re turned. The Earl of Glengall, Sir John Fitzgerald, Messrs. Creagh, Scully, Keating, (Meagher . Chay ter, and several other Magistrates attended at the inquest, and have since called a meeting of Magis trates for Friday next, at Cashel, " to take into con sideration the steps necessary to be adopted oh . the melaneholy occasion of this murder." The deceased gentleman was a Magistrate of Tipperary, the eldest son of Counsellor Denis Scully, formerly of Merrion square, Dublin,, the well-known 'author of yworlc called " Statement of the Penal Laws," and he was brother to Vincent Scull , , Esq., Of if e Leinster cir cuit, who married Miss - Grogan, Of Harcourt-street, Dublin, sister to the. Wernher. The Lord Chancellor yester:ay dismissed the peti tion of Mr. John Devereux, in custody for ru mu g away with Elizabeth Kennedy, a ward of the Coui t, with severe reproof. Mr. and Mrs. Kean, having been engaged for a short period at the Theatre Royal, made their first appearance on Saturday evening in the Gamester. The house was crowded in every part, and nothing could exceed the enthusiastinmanner in which these general favourites were received. LORD SALTOUN. TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING POST. SM,-I beg to return you my best thanks for the manner in which you have mentioned my old com rade, Lord Saltoun. As a soldier I abstain, of course, from particularising any escapes that Lord Saltoun has had, for, in the army, " a miss is considered ah good as a mile," and is thought of no more; but it may be as well to say, that, at Waterloo, he had three horses short under him, one of his spurs shot oft; his forehead laid bare by a shot in the front of his cap, his sword broken in two, and the cloak in front of his saddle riddled with shot. At Peronne he was hit by a spent iron ball which busied itself, with his purse, in his groin ; but, notwithstanding . the pain and suf fering which this must have caused he marched up to Paris with the army : this wound was never men tioned. As a civilian you may, perhaps, scarcely understand the strong feeling that exists between two old soldiers who have served so much together as we have : this feeling must be my excuse for having troubled you upon the subject.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, Nov. 29. TRIUMPH of the FRENCH CABINET. PARIS, WEDNESDAY E VEXING .—G en eral Jacque minot has been re-elected Deputy for the first arron dissement. This is a great triumph for the Ministry; and the manly sentiments expressed by the General in favour of England makes his return a subject of rejoicing to us. The numbers were : Number of voters 1,537 General Jacqueminot All the other candidates . 842 695 147 WATERLOO-BRIDGE. - -Yesterday the half-yearly meeting of the Proprietors of this Bridge was held at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, Strand, the Rev. John Rush in the chair, to receive the Directors' Report and fill the vacancies in the Committee. Mr. G. Powell read the minutes of the previous meeting, which were confirmed. He then read the Directors' Report :—The tolls ending the 23d of August, 1841, amounted to 7,4731. 155., while those for the corre sponding period in this year were only 6,8281. 12s. ld. The decrease in the tolls for horses and vehicles was 9281. 16s. ld., and the increase for foot passengers was 2831. 16s. sd. The difference on the horse toll arose from. Westminster-bridge having been closed in April and May of 1841. Still the Directors anticipated the best results from the reduction of one halfpenny in the tolls. During the last nine months the foot tolls had increased 400/.165. - 4d., but they were 2061.35. 2d. less as compared with a similar period when the toil was ld. The receipt for the past half-year, in cluding 6,8281. 12s. ld. ; tolls, with interest upon Ex chequer bills, and the rent of the arched vaults, were 7,5411. 17s. 11d., and the expenditure, including 1,3341. 165., interest on bonds at Si., 41., and 3f per cent., and 4,6871. 10s., dividends upon annuities amounted to 6,9081. Bs. 3d., leaving a balance of 633/. 9s. Bd. The Report, in conclusion, stated that the bridge and its appurtenances were in excellent repair. Mr. Sangster argued at great length in favour of the toll being again raised to ld. Mr. Stedman replied, and insisted upon the folly of such an attempt. Tie concluded with moving the adoption of the Report, which was carried by a large majority. The Rev. Mr. Rush, John Beadnall, Esq., Sir John Rennie, and Alexander Gardner were re-elected members of the Committee; and —Walsh, Esq., was re-appointed auditor; after which thanks were voted to the Chairman. TEMPLETON IN PARIS.—The English primo Lenore has been much feted by the elite of the musical pro fession during his late visit to the French capital. All who have heard Mr. Templeton are unanimous in praise of his rare qualities as a vocalist. On Saturday week Auber, the distinguished composer of Massa niello, Fra Diavolo, Gustavus the Third, Lestocq, &c., gave Templeton an entertainment, and invited a large party of professors and dilettanti to meet him. During the evening Mr. Templeton delighted all present by singing several mrceau from the various composi-. tions of his distinguished host, the maestro himself presiding a the pianoforte. On Friday; the 11th ult., the guardians of the Saffron Walden Poor-law Union assembled, for the purpose of appointing a relieving officer to the said union • salary ,861. per annum. There were only 91 candidates for the office.--Correspondent of Antirbread Tax Circular. SPAIN. The Regent was on the 26th at Saragossa. By a decree of the same date, the port of Barcelona, from the river of Belos. to. filo Llobregat, is declared in a state of blockade. All was tranquil at Madrid on the 28th. • MADRID, Nov. 28.—The Regent reached Sara gossa on the 24th, where he was received with en thusiasm. 'lle was still there on the 26th. PERPIGNAN, Nov. 28.—The Captain-General has signified that.the bombardment (of Barcelona) will commence on the morning of the 28th. The in surgents were disposed to yield. Brigadier Durando and the popular J unta will probably embark. TheVeloce, which left Barcelona at five o'clOck on the evening of the 27th, brought to Port Vendres General Pastors, Llinas, and other refugees, as well as the above tidings. PERPIGNAN,' .Nov. 26.—Several Spanish families arrived here .yesterday from Barcelona. A few hours after their departure from that city it was expected that the bombardment would commence, the delay granted by Van : llalen.having already expired. Espartero was expected yesterday by the troops surrounding the city. • General Chacon, who had been arrested by the in .shrgents in Barcelona, contrived to escape, and suc ceeded in placing himself under the protection of the French Consul, by whom he was placed in safety on board a French vessel. He arrived here two days ago, and is still remaining in this place. The total number of troops surrounding Barcelona amounts to about 15,000 men. ~ A considerable body of French troops are already en route for this place and its vicinity. The Chasseurs de Vincennes lately stationed at Toulouse, have re ceived orders to march to the frontier; and a cavalry regiment, the 9th Chasseurs, are also en route for Perpignan: From all I have been able to learn on my way from Bayonne to this place, I am convinced that it is the intention of the French Government to avail themselves of the first favourable opportunity to send an armed force into Spain. THE POLES. A public meeting was held on the 29th November, at the Cadogan Literary Institution, Sloane-street, to commemorate the anniversary of the late struggle of Poland for her independence. The rogm was crowded, and graced by the presence of many ladies, and during the whole proceedings the most perfect harmony and unanimity of feeling distinguished the assembly. Captain John Daveon took the chair. L. S. P. Buckingham, Esq., Richard Cull, Esq., J. F. Clarke, and others, addressed the meeting with great eloquence and ability. The following resolu tions were unanimously adopted :—Resolution Ist. That this meeting, in commemorating the anniversary of the Polish Revolution, makes an unfeigned demon stration in favour of its principles and spirit, and deeply regrets that the efforts of the Polish people were not crowned with complete success ; that this meeting has a powerful motive for lamenting over the fate of Poland, because her fall is a great loss to the cause of freedom ; at the same time it holds ,in the greatest abhorrence the lawless tyranny Of Nicholas the Emperor of Russia, animated by the worst spirit of civil and religious persecution, which is a disgrace to the intelligence of the human race. Resolution 2d. That this meeting, in expressing their warmest sympathies with the cause of Pol4nd, looks with in tense interest to her regeneration in all her ancient greatness, with the additional advantage of all reforms based upon the broad principles of equal justice to all; and hopes that one day she will become the land of civil and religious liberties. Mr. N. F. Zaba and Mr. E. Staniewicz, the Polish exiles, also addressed the meeting, and were listened to with breathless atten tion and interest. The robbery of the London Joint-StOck Bank, the funds abstracted having been nearly all restored, has teas 3d to attract any share of the public attention. It is proper, however, to advert to the very great number of letters which have been- received, tracing that and similar frauds to the inadequate salaries paid to their clerks . by the banks, generally, and putting for Ward that circumstance in part as an extenuation of the crime. This is a very bad morality, to say the least of it, and a very dangerous argu ment to allow to go forth to the public uncondemned. Such is the demand even for the smallest of these appointments, owing to the difficulty of finding em ployment for young men in the city, that people of great respectability are constantly endeavouring to obtain them for their sons ; and as the heads of these establishments look to character as well as to salary for a protection, they have a sort of justification for not expending more in that department than is strictly necessary. These are matters in which a public journal is not called upon to inter fere generally, but am opportunity should always be seized of protesting against the 'abominable doc trine; that, low salaries are any. excuse for fraud. One cOrreipondent has the modesty to suggest that this' circumstance should regularly, form part of the in 'quiry by our criminal courts and juries ; that " a well-paid servant should be visited with the highest' penalty of the b'w, and a badly-paid one With a few days' imprisonment, or a week or so at the tread-mill." - - Times. TUE MOUNTAIN SYLPH.—The following anecdote of the above opera may not be unwelcome :—When Mr. Barnett agreed upon its production, Henry Phillips complained to hill , of not having any ballad to sing in it; the difficulty of giving such a song to a wizard was pointed out to the singer, but it was eventually agreed that Mr. Barnett should introduce something about "Farewell to the time when I was happy." Chance directed the eye of Mr. Phillips to a manuscript song on his friend's piano, called " Mein herz ist im Boehland," which he had com posed four years before, intending to ask him to sing it ; but he had never done so. Mr. Phillips liked " the look of it," and tried it over. " Why not have words written to this ?" asked he ; and, according to his suggesLion, the words " Farewell to"flie Mountain," were put to it, and he was very much pleased with the song. How little do managers or composers linow what will please the public. At the last re hearsal of the opera, it was suggested to cut out this song, as being heavy and uninteresting ; Mr. Barnett was of the same opinion himself, and was anxious to .citt the song out, fearing it would endanger the suc cess of the piece; but Phillips would not allow it; he determined to " to try it, at all events; the first night." . This song was the greatest hit in the opera !—Drce 7 matic and Musical Review. ROYAL ARTILLERY.—Captain Geary and a detach ment of the Royal Artillery, expressly selected, for the purpose on Wednesday last, are expected to sail on Saturday next for China, to fill up vacancies in the regiment in that quarter, and add, in some degree to the strength of that branch of the forces. SUBMARINE TELESCOPE.—A lady of Brooklyn, has invented a method of illuminating ob:,ects under water, so that an observer at the. surface, by means of a water-tight cylinder, having a glass inserted in its lower orifice, can make exitiniriiition under water to .any accessible depth. By means of a reflector the hull of a ship can also be examined from its deck. The fair inventor belie Yes that the telescope will be found highly useful for this purpose, and that it may also be economically applied in the exploration of sunken wrecks, and in the pearl and sponge fisheries. It is 'now exhibiting every evening at Barnum's American Museum.—New York paper. COMPASSION OF A JUDGE IN TEXAS. A very learned and compassionate Judge in Texas, on pass ing sentenco on one John Jones, who had been con victed of murder, concluded his remarks as follows : " The fact is, Jones, that the Court did not intend to order you to be executed before next spring, but the weather is very cold—our gaol, unfortunately, is in a very bad condition—much of the glass in the win dows is broken—the chimneys are in such a dilapi dated state that no fire can be made to render your apartments comfortable ; besides owing to the great number of prisoners, not more than one blanket can be allowed to each ;—to sleep soundly and comfort ably, therefore, will be out of the question. In con sideration of these circumstances, and wishing to les sen your sufferings as much as possible, the Court, in the exercise of its humanity and compassion, do hereby order you to be executed to-morrow morning, as soon afteibreakfast as may be convenient to the Sheriff and agreeable to you." —Quebec Gazette.. COURT OF SESSION. —According to Parliament house gossip, the elevation of Mr. Patrick Robertson to the bench will not take place so soon as was at one time expected. Lord Meadowbank, it is said, has procured a medical opinion to the effect that he may still continue to discharge his present duties, and as he owes certain parties a grudge for not making him Justice-Clerk, he is resolved to deprive them of the patronage of his seat as long as he can.—Glasgow Argus. So great and still increasing is the. distress from want of employment in this neighbourhood, that the applications for relief and admittance into the Union have been, during the past week, unprecedentedly nu merous, and from the number of hands, mechanics, and labourers, lately discharged, the evil.is becoming daily alarming in the highest degree.—Sherborne Journal HAVRE CUMMERVIAL NEWS. HAvnm, Nov. 29.—COTTON.--We have received 8,694 bales of cotton this week. Our sales have amounted to 7,613 bales, which leaves us with a stock, according to the brokers, of 116,000 bales ; according to the Custom-house between 135,000 of all sorts in first and second bands. The transactions have been pretty good this week. At first the demand was irre gular, but the prices were maintained. However, since Tuesday last, the day on which the glorious news from India and China was received here business has become active. On that day 3,500 bales were sold, owing to the supplies which the principal spinners were Obliged to lay in, as well as a speculative feeling which the news gave rise to. This. demand, and the firm ness with which holders showed their pretensions, caused prices to improve, and the market closed at an advance of from If. to 50c. A great deal more business would be done if holders would yield a little, but they have all elevated their prices in hopes of fu ture amelioration. All eyes are fixed with anxiety on the position of the markets in London, Liverpool, and Manchester, which the peace with China will affect. It is generally believed that it will cause a sudden spring in all cotton manufactures ; but the weather has been so boisterous that we have had no boat from London or Southampton these four days past, and therefore we know nothing certain of the English markets. The new crop cotton was broUght in three vessels from New Orleans, and one from Charleston. A large public sale of about 1,200 bales is announced for the 29th, when it is expected a further advance in prices will take place. - C OFFEE.--The symptoms of an i ma ti on w hi c h I s p o k e of i n my last have since subsided, and the market has relapsed into a dull state. The sales effected were very trifling—viz., 300 bags St. Domingo at 42 to 42i ; 150 bags Brazil at 39c., and 17 casks St. Jago at 85c. per half kil. in bond. Imports-4,245 bags St. Do mingo, 50 bags Havannah, 20 casks Martinique di rect, and 45 casks 150 bags Java, coastwise. SUGARS.—This article has been fluctuating : how ever, about 350 barrels of raw West India have been run off this week. The price is not well established —one pays more or less according to the nature of the sugar and the wants of the purchaser : it thus ranges from 55f. to 55f. 25c., and even 55f. 50c. The last sales were at 55f. 25c. for the article delivered from the ship, and 55f. 50c. for that in warehouse. The quotation remains between 55f. and 55f. 50c. the bomie 4ine., but at this price very little business is doing. INDIGO.—The advices lately received from Bengal, to the sth of October, confirming more and more the accounts received of the disaster to the crop, and pre senting a figure more reduced than the preceding, whilst the highest estimates do not amount to 75,000 mands, have induced the holders to rise in their pre tensions ; 57 chests of Bengal have been sold this week at from 9f. 90c. to 10f. 95c., averaging about 2f. 50e. above the estimations. Now, the holders refuse to sell under 3f. above the estimate—this how ever they have not obtained ; but 2f. 75c. has been paid for choice of some chests. Twenty-eight chests Java have been received from Rotterdam, and twenty one chests from Antwerp. Thus you will perceive our prospects are not bright in anything but cotton, and of that article we have strong hopes. BRUSSELS. Nov. 30.—The King, who left Ardenne yesterday, arrived at Brussels at half-past four in the afternoon. Yesterday the 29th, the 12th anniversary of the Revolution was celebrated at the Town Hall. In the sitting of the Chamber of Representatives yesterday, the Minister of War presented a project of law, fixing the amount of the army at 80,000 men, and the levy for 1843 at 10,000 men. The debate on the commercial treaty with Spain was concluded. Being put to the vote, it was agreed to by a majority of 77 to 1. The general debate on the budget of the Ways and Means was then commenced. ATTEMPT TO MURDER. On Wednesday last Matthew Waldron, shoemaker, applied at the shop of Mr. Egginton, ironmonger, Ludlow, for a brace of pistols, stating they were for his brother-in-law, Mr. Mackey, head gardener at Sir William Rouse Boughton's, Bart. He was asked what they were for ; in reply he said the vinery had been broken open and the grapes stylen. He was then shown three odd ones and a brace, but the brace was recommended as the best, which he agreed to take. He then bought.some powder, balls, and caps. On Thursday he went to an acquaintance, and told him he would make a job with the pistols that night. On the same night he went to his , sister's (Mrs. Harley), at the bottom of Old-street, where, his mother resided. On going into the house, the old lady was in a room—he en tered, the door of which he bolted, and began quarrel ling with her about assisting his wife with money to pay her expenses to Birmingham, to which place she was gone. He then drew one of his pistols from his pocket, and presented it at his mother. Her sister ( Ars. Harley) immediately jumped up and caught hold of it (not knowing exactly what it was) just over the nipple of the lock. At the same time he pulled the trigger, the cock fell upon that part of the hand between the thumb and forfinger, and was prevented going off, where it remained fast. A younger sister immediately sprang to the window and called for help, when Waldron unbolted the door, and made his es cape. 'Waldron went to his lodgings in Raven-lane, to which place Fox, the policeman, followed him. On entering, Waldron said, " Ah, Fox, is it you ?" To which Fox replied, " Yes Matthew, it is me ; this is a bad job." Waldron said it was, and immediately presented a pistol at Fox, which he struck down, and the cap snapped ; fortunately the powder was not high enough in the nipple to ignite from the cap, or the consequences might have been of a serious nature to Fox. He was then secured, and taken to the Tower. He has had two examinations, and was remanded. It is said that he has attempted to stab his wife on two former occasions. The prisoner says it was his inten tion to' destroy his mother and child, about two years old, and then put an end to his own existence. He had a shoemaker's knife, the edge of which had been made very keen, under his bolster, when he was taken. —Salopian Journal. ROYAL SAPPERS AND MINERS.—The half-yearly inspection of the 'Royal Sappers and Miners, stationed at Woolwich, took place yesterday by Colonel S . George Host, C. 8., of the Royal Engineers. The cleanliness of the men, their fine military appearance, steadiness under arms, and the excellency of the drill and discipline, highly pleased the gallant Colonel. THE POLICE AND THEIR IVHISKERS.—A consi derable sensation has been created amongst the Me tropolitan Police, by a general order on the subject of whiskers. Various conjectures have been hazarded as to the cause for the resolution which has been come to by the Commissioners, and several of the force have revolted against a measure involving the loss of that which they emphatically declare to be dearer than life—their personability. Considering that the greater part of a policeman's occupation when on duty is to ogle the servant g i r l s, it i s equ i valent to a down right disqualificati on to call upon them to sacrifice all that many of them have to depend upon for success in that particular branch of their profession which we have just now alluded to. "If we are tobe disfigured," say. some of them, " let the figures be taken from our collars, but let not the disfiguring process be put in practice upon our visages." Such has been the panic in the force, that the Commissioners have been induced to reconsider the matter, and a return of the state of the whisker crops throughout the Metropolitan Police has been ordered. It would seem that 5 in 20 have sandy whiskers ; '2 in 40 have none at all ; 1 in 90 is sure to cut himself whenever he shaves; and 3 in 30 have their whiskers almost meeting under their noses. It is expected that there will be a modification of the recent order, and that six square inches of whisker will in future be allowed to every member of the police force. A public meeting of the body has been called, and the chair is to be taken by A 1, who has shown considerable spirit in resisting the order, and'is cultivating mustachios under the very nose—not of hiMself alone—but the Commissioners. — Punch. ONE THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED BALES OF COT TON AND A STEAM-BOAT BURNT.—This morning, the steam-boat Maid of Arkansas, bound from Yazoo to 'New Orleans, took fire below Carrollton, when so ra pid was the progress of the flames, that the crew and passengers had barely time to save themselves. The cargo of cotton, and the boat, down the water's edge, were burnt. Bad luck to 1842.—New Orleans Courier, Nov. 3. We are told by a person who has lately been through the greater part of the Weald of Sussex, that the appearance of the young wheat is better than it has been for many years : though we have had a considerable quantity of rain, it has not been at all too much for the wheat-sowing on the Downs ; and the beasts and sheep are doing well in the pastures without any need of hay as yet. --Brighton Gazette. HAwnclluncn.—A serious accident occurred last week to a son of Mr. Hull, of Wylde Court, near thi s place, a tenant of Lord Bridport. It appears his Lordship has caused those dangerous w ea p ons , mis called dog-spears, to , be placed i n hi s covers f or the protection of his ga me . Th e young man to whom the accident has occurred, having occasion to change sonic sheep, went into one of these covers, being the nearest way to the part of the farm where the sheep were then feeding ; in his progress he en countered one of th ese spears, w hi c h, enter i ng his leg a little above the ancle, came out above the ca lf, inflicting a most dangerous and painful wound.— Sherborne Journal, A SIGN OF TILE Timus.—A correspondent informs U 3 that an auctioneer in this neighbourhood is under engagement to sell up 26 farmers on as many conse cutive days.—Bolton Free Press. YARAIOUTIL—On Thursday morning a fishing-boat, containing four men, was upset near the Haven s mouthland all, we regret to say, perished. MONEY MARKET and Ci ki S FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. CITY, THURSDAY EVENING.. TIMES.—The following notice was posted at the Bank of England to-day, and does not differ in any particular from that last issued : " The Governor and Company of the Bank of Eng land are ready, until further notice, to receive appli cations for loans, on the deposit of approved bills of `exchange not having more than six months to run, Exchequer Bills, and East India Bonds, such loans to be repaid on or before the 17th of January, 1843, with interest at the rate of 3:1- per cent. per annum , and to be for sums of not less than 2,0001. each. "Bank of England, December 1, 1842." Consols shut to-day prior to the payment of the half-yearly dividends. To-morrow, therefore, quo tations will be marked ex-dividend, and show a differ ence of li per cent. compared with present currency. The English market was active to-day, and the Bank broker is understood to be a considerable taker of Reduced and New Three-and-a-Half per Cent. stock, which gave prices, towards the close of busi ness, a much better and firmer position than they before exhibited. Exchequer bills are now quoted at the lower premium of 48s. to 50s. The anticipated reduction of the interest to 2d. on these securities appears to induce holders to sell at present prices. The Baltimore papers contain a table of exports of produce from that section of the States for the three quarters of the year ending the 30th of September, 1842, from which it appears that the flour shipped for foreign parts was 172,495 barrels, valued at 962,896 dollars, when up to the same period last year it was 216,628 barrels, or 1,118,958 dollars. This showed a decline of 44,133 barrels, or 156,062 dollars. Th e total export of flour, tobacco, fish, for dOmesti c use , bacon, &c., was valued at 3,267,452 dollars, and in 1841 at 3,261,055 dollars, giving an increase in favou r of the present year of 6,477. The total export of produce to foreign parts during the same period, was worth 85,687 dollars, while last year it was 147,770 dollars, showing a falling off of 62,083 dollars. The entire total of domestic and foreign exports showed a decrease of 55,606 dollars as compared with tbe three first quarters of 1841. The Shareholders of the National Floating Break water and Refuge Harbour Company held their first general meeting yesterday. The invention, which is identified with protection to the shipping and sea faring portion of the public, appears to have at tracted att ntion. Several ports round our coast are already supplied with the apparatus, and the French Government, it is stated, have taken the project under their especial patronage, Captain Tayler, the in.. ventor, being now employed to construct a harbour on an extensive scale at Marseilles. The accounts of the Company were presented, and the Directors re ceived the thanks of the proprietary for their attention to their interests. CIIRONICLE.—The advices received by the Great Western steamer from British North America, state that the trade of Canada has fallen off very seriously during the present season, the tonnage being 117,281 less than up to the same period last year, and 400 fewer ships. A Special Committee of the Legislative Assembly of Canada, appointed to consider the subject of a free trade with Great Bri tain in the agricultural productions of British North America, states that the cost of conveying a barrel of flour from the Welland Canal to any port in the United Kingdom, by way of the St. Lawrence, is 14s. 6d.; but that after the completion of their com munications, a reduction will be made in the transit of 2s. 6d. per barrel. As respects the admission into Canada of Americadproducts from the Western States, the Report says that the freight of a barrel of flour from Cleveland, Ohio, to Lake Ontario is ls. 6d., which, with the duty and other charges will, in their opinion, "be a sufficient protection to the home pro ducer against American competition from their quarter through the St. Lawrence." file Report is very minute in its calculations, which are most laboriously framed to show that grain cannot be exported from Canada to England at a profit to the grower unless the home price for flour be equal to 335. per barrel, and wheat from 60s. to 61s. per quarter. They then refer to Lord Stanley's famous dispatch of the 2d.of March last, as a proof that the Imperial Government never contemplated this state of the relative prices, and suggest as the only effectual remedy to guard against the danger to which the trade is exposed, that their Legislature should allow a drawback at Quebec or Montreal, whenever the price at these ports shall exceed 30s. per barrel. They then suggest resolu tions, expressing confidence that the public declara tion of the enlightened statesman who presides over the councils of the mother country will be carried into effect, and that Canada will be treated as an in tegral part of the empire; which desirable object, they observe, can be only attained by removing "all duties on the products of Canada, particularly on all descriptions of grain and meal when admitted to the ports of the mother country, in return for which the Legislative Assembly is recommended to remove all duties oii the manufactures of the mother country, when admitted into the ports of Canada from sea, which they expect the finances of the province will render safe and practicable within a few years, after their great leading communications to the ocean are opened. A circular addressed by a house established at St. Louis, to the farmers, millers, and merchants of Illinois, Missouri, and Wisconsin, estimates the wheat crop of the United States for 1842 at 110,269,000 bushels, and the estimate of consump tion in the United States at four bushels, or a frac tion over four-fifths of a barrel of flour per annum to every inhabitant,, allowing for the quantity used in manufacturing and other purposes, so that with a population of 18,500,000, the gross consumption will be 74,000,000 bushels. On account of the lowness of price, the consumption this year is calculated at 41 bushels per head, making an aggregate consump tion of 83,250,000 bushels, leaving a surplus of 27,019,000 bushels to supply foreign demand. The yield of Ohio is stated at not less than 21,000,000 bushels ; Illinois, which in 1839 yielded 3,335,000 bushels, is expected to yield 5,847,000 bushels; Mis souri, which in 1839 yielded 1,037,000 bushels, is estimated at 2,064,000 bushels ; Wisconsin, which in 1839 yielded 212,000 bushels, is expected to give 636,000 bushels. These calculations, however, are considered by well-informed persons to be rather overstated in respect of the surplus yield of the United States. Letters from New York refer to the elections as being decidedly favourable to the democratic party, or low tariff men, and observe that if the Government of this country were disposed to make suitable ar rangements to place the trade between America and Great Britain on a free and permanent basis, the pre sent is the most fitting opportunity that could be selected for the adoption of measures to carry out that important object, so eminently calculated to promote the prosperity of both nations. POST.—The private letters received yesterday by the steamer Caledonia, from New York, hold out more cheering prospects to the creditors of the North American States which have failed to provide the in terest due upon the loans raised in their behalf. Meetings were about to take place, at which it was the intention of parties possessing a competent in fluence in the insolvent States to endeavour to incul cate in the minds of those who have been led astray by the shameful doctrine of repudiation sentiments more worthy of a great and aspiring people. The first demonstration will probably be made in the State of Illinois. Gentlemen whose interests are closely identified with those of the State were arming themselves with the requisite materials for the com mencement of a series of appeals in the cause of na tional integrity and faith. The names of som e of the individuals who propose to distinguish them selves as leaders in the performance of this honourable duty will no doubt be shortly made public. It seems desirable, in the meanwhi'e, that the holders of American securities should meet in London, and by a judicious mode of proceeding give what moral sup port they may be able to the friends who are prepared to advocate their claims beyond the Atlantic. The financial exposition of Senor Calatrava con tains no distinct reference to the case of the Treasury bondholders. The Committee of the Stock Exchange afford no assistance to the sufferers, and while they are in dudgeon at the refusal of Messrs. Lizardi and Co. to confer with them, they have clearly no disposi tion to set the example of courtesy towards others. SUN.—Stock was in no 2st, as the opening for in vestments will be limited to fewer of the English se curities until the 17th January, this being the day for the closing of the transfer books. The Bank of England has given notice that Bills of Exchange, &c., will be taken in till then at 3l per cent., per annum, in amounts of 2,0001. and over. Consols for imme diate transfer touched 944 4, closing at 944 4 ; and for Account, 954 ' the latest bargains being at 954 sellers ; Exchequer Bills were at 48s. to 525. prem. and India Bonds at 48s. premium. Money is now dearer both in the Stock Exchange and in the Dis count Market. Bank Stock was quiet at 1714, and India Stock ranged from 2644 to 266. The New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. were worth 1011 to 1014, and the Three per Cents. 934 to 944. There was an improvement in Mexican Stock, both Active and Deferred, the former closing at 30t to 304, and the latter at 84 to 84. The Texian news had no effect, being considered as exaggerated. Spanish Bonds were a shade better, closing at 184 for the Active, and 224 to 234 for the Three per Cents. Portuguese Converted Stock remained at 324, Chilian receded to 88, and Brazilian touched 66 to 664, Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. were at 524, and the Five per Cents. at 101 to 1014. The Share Market was again quiet this afternoon, the operations since the morning being these : Eastern Counties 14, Edinburgh and Glasgow If, Brighton 15, Manchester and Leeds 14, arid South Eastern Scrip 2 discount. Northern and Easteru Scrip were 41 to 4, and Paris and Rouen 41 premium: British North American Bank Shares were i 4 dis count,and National Provincial Bank of Englano 1 New premium.
