Extracts from a pamphlet communicated to us by order of the Committee appointed by the Town Council of Leicester, to consider and report upon Sir James Graham's " Parochial Settlement Bill : CONSEQUENCES OF THE PROPOSED ALTERATION OF THE LAW OF SETTLEMENT. " The consequence will be, that persons who have gained settlements in this or any other place by ap prenticeship, occupation, ownership of property, or any other means than those mentioned, and who may from their youth have been living here as acknow ledged parishioners, will, by this ex post facto law, be deprived of their present settlements, and be liable to be removed to the place of their birth, or, if that cannot be ascertained, to the parental settlement as explained by the new law. This sudden and violent disturbance and destruction of existing laws, will ne cessarily occasion an examination into the settlement of all the chargeable poor throughout England, amounting to 1 ,366,314 during the past year; and it will be impossible to discover the birth or parental settlements of many thousand families without sub jecting parishes to great expense, not only in ascer taining the facts, but in contesting them in courts of justice." CASE OF THE BOROUGH OF LEICESTER UNDER TIIE PROPOSED ALTERATION. " It appears, by the accounts kept of the distribu tion of the subscription fund raised in this borough in the year 1840, that in the fourth week of the dis tribution of it, there were 1,313 families and 4,442 individuals recipients, of whom 439 families are re turned PIS bolos ring t' parii:c3 Lclue34,:, and °74 families to out-parishes. The effect of the proposed law will be to relieve the Leicester parishes from the settlement of all those now belonging to parishes in Leicester, who were not born in the town ; but when it is considered that there were 874 families who be longed to out-parishes, and that a large number of the adults, and nearly the whole of their children, have been born within the town ; and, further, that hundreds of persons who are now residing and settled elsewhere by apprenticeship, &c., will become re movable to Leicester as the place of their birth-settle ment—an alarming increase will be given to the locally-settled pauper population. It is probable that, by the operation of this law, four-fifths or five sixths of the poor now belonging to out-parishes will become settled parishioners of this borough. " This is not, however, the only part of the bill calculated to prove severely prejudicial to this bo rough, and all other towns extensively engaged in manufactures." EFFECT OF THE FIVE YEARS' RESIDENCE IRREMOV ABILITY CLAUSE. " The clause which has been termed the quin quennial-industrial-resident - maintenance-irremovabi- lity-clause,' will, in the course of a few years, render a large number of those who are settl e d elsewhere by birth, irremovable to their place of settlement, and therefore entitle them to relief, and practically give them settlement in Leicester and other large towns. The clause referred to is to this effect That no Person who has resided the five years l as t p rece di ng in any parish, and has ordinarily maintained himself in or near thereto as a labourer, artificer, mechanic, servant, or tradesman, and has not been convicted of felony or misdemeanour, end has not during such five years been removed under any order of justices, shall be liable to be removed; but that no residence in any prison, barrack, lunatic asylum, or public hospi tal, or while receiving relief, shall be considered either as an interruption or as a portion of such five years.' This provision is full of obscurities, and is alone suffi cient to create more controversy and litigation than any passage containing the same number of words has ever yet occasioned. It is not stated what time the five years are to precede ; the words ordinarily maintained himself' are equally indefinite ; nor is there any explanation of the distance which is to be considered as coming within the meaning of the words near' the parish; nor is it very easy to com prehend what is intended by saying that no residence in a prison, &c., or while receiving relief, shall be considered either as an interruption , or as a portion of such five years.' The ob v i ous tendency and neces sary effect of this clause will be, to transfer the burden of maintaining nearly all the poor who are not em ployed as labourers in husbandry, or in some degree connected with the culture of the soil, to the great marts for labour—the commercial and manufacturing towns of Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, Bradford, Bolton, Nottingham, Leicester, &c., and also to bring a proportionate increase i n th e number of irremovable poor to the large manufacturing villages, as Oadby, Wigston, Thurmaston, Sileby, Sheepshead, &c. ; whilst it cannot be 'doubted that--in, the smaller parishes, particularly where the property' is in the hands of a few individuals, every practicable means will be resorted to by pulling down cottages, &c., for the purpose of preventing the poor becoming irre movable by the operation of this clause; and it may not unreasonably will be rendered to th eir out-poor, so as to enable them be supposed, that private assistance to maintain themselves in the large towns for the period prescribed by this Act for rendering them irre movable." r CUSTOM -HOUSE, LONDON, Nov. 13, 1844. —Whereas certain pawns, under the names of REUBEN ROY and CO., have published certain handbills, in which they state that they, in conjunction with the Custom-house authorities, continue to sell for a short time longer on the premises, No. 130, Regent-street, certain goods which in their handbills they describe as contraband, confiscated, and bankrupts' property, being an ac cumulation of stock from the numerous detailed delinquencies and contraband speculations of the wholesale and retail drapers, recently productive of such intense excitement and secret investigation throughout the city of London is to give NOTICE that the said persons are totally unknown to any one in authority at the Custom-house, and that they have no official authority whatever from any person at the Custont.house to sell the said goods, or any of them, and that goods seised under the law in the Customs are never sold except at the Custom.house Sale Rooms.

WIGAN, M.D. REGULATION OF DISTILLERIES. Some proceedings lately instituted by the Board of Excise, and still in operation, against Messrs. Smith, the extensive distillers and rectifiers, of Mile-end, White chapel, are exciting a! painful degree of interest in the wine and spirit trade, the more particularly as the cir cumstances out of which those proceedings have arisen are very imperfectly known, if at all. There are ru mours in abundance afloat on the subject, which natu rally assume that there is some very serious charge against a firm, whose business is so extensive that their' payments to Government, for the duty on spirits, are not less than at the rate of 1,0002 daily ; and that this charge must rest upon something like legal evidence to justify a course which will appear to all, but especially to those who have had no experience in the working of the Excise laws, extremely severe and harsh. When these rumours, however, come to deal with facts, they betray the greatest ignorance of the real state of the case ; and it becomes, therefore, of unusual importance to put the affair in an authentic shape, so far as it is 'accessible at the present moment.

IV., cap. 123, for the regulation of distilleries, &c., it was enacted that the business of a distiller and rectifier should not be carried on upon the same premises; but, as there existed at the time when this law:was made some establishments, of which this now conducted by Messrs. Smith was one, uniting both ope rations within the same walls, an exception was created in their favour, and a few others :simila r ly s i tuate d , with only this proviso --that the communication between the distillery and the rectifying houses should only take place by means of carts and waggons, in an open man ner. By a subsequent Act, the 6th George IV., cap. 6, a modification of the clause above described took place. and, instead of the expression " shall only take place," the words " can only take place," were introduced. This Act is dated in 1825 (nearly twenty . years ago), but it is only just discovered that there is an arrange ment on the premises on which both the operations of Messrs. Smith are situated for conveying water from one department to the other, and which brings them within the range of the altered clause in the Act of 1825. On Saturday, the 2d inst., they receil ed notice, not in writ ing, but verbally, from the Excise-officer on the premises, that their works must be stopped, which was of course complied with, as no offer from them to give any se curity that might be required would be listened to. Early in the week following the water communication between the two establishments was adverted to by the officers of Excise, and notice given that the experiment must now be made whether by the same medium spirits could not also be conveyed. To this no opposition was made, and it was ascertained, what there could be no doubt of under the circumstances, that the hydraulic principle would be just as available for one liquid as for the other ; but the spirits so conveyed were, as it is stated, so much deteriorated and mixed with water as to become unfit for use with out undergoing again the process of distillation. Under this experiment, therefore, property of considerable value was wasted. That it must have been considered by those who made it conclusive against the Messrs. Smith as a breach of the law of 1825, must be assumed from the continuance of the restriction from carrying on their business, which still remains in force. Under that restriction about sixty of the workmen were discharged on Saturday last, and the same number will be dismissed at the end of the present week. The premises, from the disappearance of the activity manifested there when at full work, have a mournful appearance, and are further disfigured by the laying open of the whole pavement be neath which the pipes passed for conveying water from the distilling to the rectifying house. This is, we believe, all th at i s k nown, unless, perhaps, to the Commissioners of Excise ; but Messrs. Smith have addressed a memorial to the Treasury on the sub ject, an answer to which is daily expected, and which may throw some further light upon the matter. The question arising out of this affair is one whicb will be viewed with much interest by the Scotch and Irish distillers, who complain that the indulgence granted to the existing large English distilleries by the Act of 1817, in allowing both operations still to be carried on within the same walls, was injurious to them, and shut them out from the competition with their rivals in this country. Under Lord Liverpool's Administration 'a commission of inquiry was instituted, and an Act passed, 4 George IV., cap. 94, extending at first only to Scot land and Ireland, but which had for its object the con solidation and assimilation of the laws for regulating distilleries, and the trade in spirits throughout the United Kingdom. The provisions of the Act last re ferred to were found to be so well adapted for the pur pose in view, that it was proposed by the Government to extend the same regulations to the United Kingdom, but in this they did not succeed. There can be no doubt that a pretext will be afforded by what has just occurred for a revival of this discussion by the Scotch and Irish distillers.—Times.

THE SIXTH MURDER.—On Saturday last, about the hour of four o'clock, as a man, named Pat M`Gennissy, was on his return home from the Quarter Sessions of Thurles, where he had been obtaining a decree for the small sum of 305., and when near the demesne of Brittas, two men jumped out from over a ditch and pulled him off the car on which he sat, and on which three men were also travelling, but who never interfered to save the un fortunate man. The two murderers beat their victim with stones about the head to such an extent, that he died from the effects on Sunday evening last. A man, named Tracey, against whom M'Gennissy had obtained the decree, has been arrested, and is in custody. THE SEVENTH MURDER.—On the evening of Sunday, the 20th of October last, three men, named James Molo ney, Patrick Carr, and William Carr, went into the house of Denis Bryan, a publican, at Kilconinton, and after drinking some beverage, which had the effect of making them a little tipsy, they had some dispute, and after leaving the house a quarrel ensued, and the two Carrs went into the dwelling of another brother, named John Carr, out of which they came, and after shouting outside the door of the houso where Moloney went in fur protection, Moloney jumped out of the win dow, and was seized by John and Wm. Carr, and was beaten with stones on the left side of the head by Paddy Carr, which fractured his skull, and of which he died on Saturday night last, the 9th of November. An inquest was held by James Carroll, Esq., coroner, and a verdict returned, " That said James Moloney recei►ed a mortal wound on the 20th October, inflicted by some person or persons unknown, and of which he died." THE EIGHTH MURDER.—An inquest was held in Thurles on Saturday last, by Michael Cormack, Esq., coroner, on the body of a man named Thomas Ryan, who had been assaulted by Patrick Ryan, on the 2d of October last, in that town. The jury brought in a ver dict to the following effect :—" That the deceased, Thos. Ryan, came by his death in consequence of a blow from a stone on the head, inflicted by Patrick Ryan, on the 2d of October last, of which lie died on Friday, the Bth of Nov. inst."

OXFORD, Nov. 14.—This morning, Mr. Henry Nowell Barton, scholar of Pembroke College, was elected a Fellow on the foundation of Thomas Tesdale, Esq. At a congregation holden this morning, the following degrees were conferred:— EXTRAORDINARY CASE. Yesterday a lengthened investigation took place before Mr. W. Carter, touching the death of John Thomas. The body was lying at Kent-street, Borough, in one of the most horrible dens that ever met the human eye. The room was about eight feet square, in the centre of which stood an old counter, underneath was an old flock bed, and a parcel of dirty rags, covered with filth and vermin, which formed the deceased's bed-place. There ' were neither table nor chairs, nor any signs of food. The body of the deceased was lyi ng on the floor, and presented a most wretchedly emaciated appearance. The walls, which were bare, were covered with cobwebs, and the room had evidently not been cleaned out for some years. The CORONER said, that he had seen a great many strange places, but had never met with such a horrible one before. MASTER OF ARTS.—Archer Robert Tawney, Merton College; Rev.

Ann Nash stated, that she had been living with de ceased twelve years, and was not married to him, al though she went as his wife. He was a shoemaker by trade, but had not done any work for some years. He always pleaded the greatest poverty to witness, although she know him to be in the receipt of 15s. per week. She was in the habit of earning a shilling or two now and then, but ho always took it from her, and sometimes spent it in buying food. She had had one child by him, which was ten years old. They were often left two and three days together without food or firing. He would never allow her to apply to the parish for assistance, as he was fearful of its coming to the ears of his relatives, who, she had heard, were highly respectable, and lived somewhere in the city, near Newgatc-market. He was of the most filthy habits, and would never permit her to wash any of his clothes. He had formerly had plenty of good wearing apparel sent to him by some friend, which he had pawned in the Dover-road. He was in the habit of going out every Monday morning to receive his money, but she had never received a single farthing from him during the twelve years she had been with him. On Wednesday week he went out with an old great coat en, but he returned without it in about an hour afterwards. She asked him for some money, as they had not tasted food for two days. He said that he had not got any. Shortly afterwards he took some money from his pocket, and sent for half a quartern loaf, which lie shared among them. In the evening of the same day he was seized with pains in the groin. He got into bed with his clothes on (as he had been in the habit of doing for years), and remained in his bed until Friday last, when he appeared so bad, that witness called in Mr. Hankin, surgeon, of Dover-road, who attended with promptitude, and ordered a mustard poultice and leeches to be applied immediately. He then gave her 6d. to purchase them. She went out, and returned in a few minutes with the articles, and on entering the room she found 4s. lying on the corner of the table or counter. She tried to rouse him ; but Ise had expired, and on looking in the bed she found four more half-crowns and a shilling, which must have been his last payment, on the Monday previous to his death. She had repeatedly begged of him to have a doctor, but he always said, that "if she brought a doctor into the house, he would kick him out again." A Juror observed, that it was a most extraordinary case; he could hardly believe that a woman could live in such a state of horrible filth and destitution for so long a period as twelve years. The CORONER—Do you think the deceased has died from want ? Witness—l do, Sir. Ile had the means of getting food, but he would not hare it. I and my child have been without food for some days together. He would occasionally pull out money, when he found that I had none. The CORONER—You must be a very strange woman indeed, to have lived with a man so long in such a mi serable state. I never met with a case before to equal it. Mr. Hankin, the surgeon, said he had found deceased labouring under strangulated hernia ; inflammation had taken place, and mortification ensued, which was the cause of death. The jury found a verdict in accordance with this evi denoe. ACCIDENT ON THE SOUTII-WESTERN RAILWAY.- GREAT TROTTING MATCH FOR ONE HUNDRED Pousns.—Tho long-pending match between Mr.Vander stein's (of Whitechapel) grey gelding and Mr. M'Grath's (of Lambeth) bay cob, to trot two miles in harness, camp off on Tuesday on Sunbury-common, and, from the amount of stakes, the heavy betting on the race, and the great celebrity of the horses, an unusual degree of in terest was created in the sporting arena. The spectators might be fairly computed at 1,500. The distance being measured, the horses, harnessed to light match-carts, were driven to the starting mark, and at the signal they went away at great spt - ed, and accomplished half a mile in eighty-eight seconds. At this stage the bay horse broke out into a gallop, and was suddenly pulled in (in compliance with the usual rules of trotting), and the great cavalcade of horsemen and vehicles came violently upon it, and it was thrown down, the chaise overturned, and the driver seriously injured, and, being unable to proceed further, the grey horse completed the distance and won the stakes, the spectators being much mortified at so unsatisfactory a result. The winning pony is of American breed, and performed the two miles in six minutes. About twenty-five minutes past ten o'clock on Wednes day night, as the goods down train, which left the Nine Elms terminus at ten o'clock, had just passed the Merton Gate, the train was suddenly thrown off the rails by coming into contact with something upon the line. Fortunately no injury occurred to any person ; but upon examining what was the cause of the occurrence, two bullocks were found :with their heads severed from their bodies, and several others were lying upon the rails so dreadfully mangled, that it was found necessary for them to be killed. It was found that the beasts had broken through the hedge of an adjoining field, and strayed on to the line. ISeveral police-constables of the V division lent their assistance, and a special engine and other as sistance having arrived from the Nine Elms terminus, the train was shortly after replaced, and it proceeded on to its destination. _ TIIE ATTORNEY- GENERAL v. GTBBS.—We are enabled to state, that in this suit there is no likelihood of a report being made. The suit was originally re ferred to Sir George Rose, but from the alleged anxiety to bring the cause to a conclusion, an order was obtained to refer it to the vacation Master, who has done nothing, and sent it back to Sir George Rose.

We copy the following articles on this subject from two of the leading Paris journals of opposite politics which seem to agree wonderfully on one point—the superiority of a canal to a railroad (From the Journal des Debate.) "By the letter of Mr. Waghorn to the Pacha of Egypt, it may be seen that fresh efforts are making to improve the communication with India by the Isthmus of Suez. The grand question is to determine whether a railroad or a canal will be the preferable plan to carry this object into effect. At this time passengers going from E uro p e to India by Egypt land at Alexandria, gain the Nile by the Mahmoudie Canal; again ascend the Nile as far as Cairo, and then cross the Deserts to Suez, where they embark in the Red Sea. The railroad proposed by Mr. Waghorn would also go from Cairo to Suez, and would thus save passengers the disagreeable route across the Desert, which, with all the attempts made to render it comparatively easy, is still most tediaus and fatiguing. If the proposed canal is also to be cut from Cairo to Suez, certainly the railroad should be pr e f e rred. The canal of the Isthmus of Suez has long since existed. Rendered impassable several times by reason of the sands which accumulate, and which the jealousy of the Arabs, whose traffic by canals is injured, prevents them from clearing away. But the canal in this direction was extremely inconvenient, being fed by the waters of the Nile, it was useless except when that river was high ; and, therefore, th e nav i ga ti on o f it was interrupted for six months in the year. Commerce demands a more regular and uninterrupted com munication ; it cannot, therefore, be surprising that Mr. Waghorn, and those whose ideas he re• presents, should be in favour of a line of railroad from Cairo to Suez. But the time for comparison is ill chosen. Without doubt two hundred and sixty kilo metres of canalisation, or extensive proportions, between Alexandria and Cairo, joined to one hundred and sixty five kilometres of the canal from Cairo to Suez, would be a most costly undertaking. But it is not the less true that a canal large enough to take a vessel of the ize of the first-class:East Indiarnen, would be a thousand times better than a railroad. The railroad from Cairo to Suez would be exclusively for passengers and mails, whereas if a canal of the above dimensions was cut through the Isthmus, it would be of immense advantage to the whole commercial world. The obstacles to such an undertaking are lot insurmountable. There is a means of cutting through the Isthmus from one side to the other without the enormous expense of an artificial navigation between Cairo and Alexandria. This is to commence precisely at its narrowest point, from Suez to the strand of Faratnah, on the borders of the Mediter ranean near the small villa ge o f Thy na h. E veryt hi ng is here suitable for the undertaking. The distance is short. From Suez to Thynah, as a bird would fly, it is Daly 120 kilometres, and in this space would be in cluded what are called the Bitter Lakes, where the be d of the canal is now cut by nature, and the lake Men rahleh which only requires deepening. The ground at this point is level, for in the whole distance there is only a metre of elevation. " Again, the Red Sea at Suez being eight metres at least higher than the Mediterranean, the canal would be easily fed by the waters of the former. Nothing but the greatest negligence could ever cause a collection of a ind to impede the navigation. Everything, therefore, is in favour of the plan except one thing—the want of a good port at the terminus in the Mediterranean ; but this difficulty may be conquered by the improved state of modern science in deepening ports, and causing good anchorage in places where formerly it was impracticable. " This direct canal across the Isthmus of Suez is not more difficult, if so much so, as that of Mahmoudie, formed by Mehemet Ali. The formation of a port at Thynah is a very easy work, and would not be so diffi cult as what has been done to form the harbour of Cette. The question now is, by whom is this canal to be made ? As it is a work of general European interest, and a work of the greatest interest to the commerce of the world, and of more immediate importance than the proposed communication across the Isthmus of Panama, all the maritime nations might take the enterprise under the it patronage and their guarantee, so as to make the passage a complete neutral one. "Moreover, the work is entirely within the power of the Pacha of Egypt, without any foreign assistance. The Pacha, who has constructed more than a thousand kilo metres of canals or large dykes for the purpose of irri gation, might without difficulty with his own people ac complish the work. It would only be a continuation of what he has before done. M. Le PIN, who had been charged by the General-in-Chief to prepare a plan for a canal across the Isthmus, estimated the expense at only seventeen millions of francs. But let us call it thirty, or even forty millions, in consequence of the works to be done at Thynah and Suoz. The cutting the canal would bring into cultivation an immense extent of ground which is now in desert, and which was formerly fertile until buried in the sand. This would be adding an immenro capital to the Pacha, and the right of toll dues would also bring him an immense revenue. Thus, materially speaking, the undertaking would be a profitable one for the Viceroy ; politically speaking, it would be of im mense value to Europeans. By the Pacha, therefore, with his own resources, in default of the concurrence of the maritime powers, the cutting through the Isthmus of Suez may be caraied into effect, and there is reason to suppose he will enter into these views. " While waiting for this desired event, which would remove so many obstacles to general commerce, should not the French Government remove another which presses heavily on our trade with the Levant, and which naturally occurs to the mind when speaking of the com munication with Egypt. We allude to the quarantine which is maintained by the French Government, though in a great measure suppressed by the English, and which has the effect of causing the passaFe from Alexandri a t o E n Paris to be short er b y way of gland than by Mar seilles." (Fran the Constitutionnel) " Tl'e Engl'sh Government and its agents, direct or indirec, have peculiar motives for thinking of the esta blishment of a railroad. We need not say that these motives are foreign to a commercial interest. England cares noth:ag i.bitit seeing the commerce of India take other modes of transport than that of the Cape of Good Hope, and does not feel for Trieste so violent a sym pathy as to sacrifice to it a portion of the interests of London or Liverpool. Besides, if the commerce of India were to pass through Egypt, Marseilles, and even Odessa, would be as great gainers as Trieste. What the English Government seeks in the establishment of a railroad across the Desert is, first, the means of trans porting with facility and rapidity, the troops and materiel of war which may he wanted in India; and, secondly, the protectorate which the passage of these troops, and the residence of an English company at the head of the rail road, would permit it to exercise over Egypt. The English Government knows very well that the Pacha has neither iron, coals, nor wood, and still less the money which would be required for making and working a rail road. The Pacha, however, may and ought to attempt another means of communication. What the interest of his power and the prosperity of Egypt counsel is the construction of a canal. between Suez and Cairo. All the objections which he has made to a railroad disappear when a canal is profosed. He is able to execute this enterprise with his own means. lie has an army habi tuated to all the labours of digging and embankment, and there are capable eng'neeis in his service. A canal which should join the Nile to the Red Sea would give considerable commercial advantages to Cairo and Alex andria., communicate great activity to the navigation of the Red Sea and the Nile, and probably fertilise an extensive zone of desert on the two banks. A loan con tracted for the execution of this enterprise, and guaran teed by the revenues of the canal itself, might be effected in aid of the finances of the Pacha, without depriving him of any portion of his financial inde pendence. This is an enterprise which would be profit able to England in common with the rest of Europe, and which ought to be encouraged by all who take an in terest in the prosperity of Egypt, and in the progress of civilisation." ATTEMPT TO ARREST THE MURDERERS OF THE MORMON PROPHET.—GOTCI7IOT Ford, of Illinois, ordered a detachment of troops under General J. J. Hardin to encamp near Carthage on the 26th ult., intending to aid the civil authorities in the arrest of the murderers of Joe and Hiram Smith. The country will applaud this de termination of the Governor to sustain the laws. The law less enemies of the Mormons had planned an attack on Nauvoo for the massacre of the Mormons on the 26th and 27th ult., their forces to be collected under the pre tence of joining in a wolf hunt ; but Governor Ford, by a judicious arrangement of his troops, disconcerted their arrangements, and it was supposed they would not at. tempt to carry out this wicked project. The Governor was at Carthage. Writs were issued and placed in the hands of the Sheriff for the arrest of Thomas C. Sharp, editor of the Warsaw Signal, and for Colonel Williams, of the same, both charged with participating in the murder of the Smiths. The Sheriff came to Warsaw and attempted to arrest Sharp, but he refused to surrender himself, and in this resolution was sustained by the infamous part of the population of Warsaw. The Sheriff returned and reported his inability to arrest him, when three hundred of the troops were ordered to marsh to Warsaw. The troops had not arrived at Warsaw before the last steamer left, but Sharp and Williams had escaped to the Missouri side of the river, where they will find a ',horde of sympathising spirits. Sharp has issued an address. He says, " I did not help to kill Joe Smith, for I did not go to the gaol with those who killed him. If my influence helped to produce the state of feeling that resulted in his death, why I am, in common with some hundreds of others, guilty, not of murder, but of an extra judicial execution. I have the most satisfactory proof that Joe Smith threatened my life, and sought to take it. If I had, therefore, killed him, I should only have acted in self-defence." He acknow ledges himself; then, an accessory to the murder before the fact, and should be held accountable to the law. — New York paper. PARTIAL OVERFLOW OF THE TIIAMEB.—The pre sent spring tides have risen much higher than any for several years past, in consequence of which the Thames has overflowed its low lying embankments above and below London-bridge, doing considerable:damage to pro pertysellanads the cel situate f n a i l i o n rg i i er o t u h s e l w i - c a e t n e s r e s i d d victSueavl l e e r r a s l , w a h s ar: , those of private houses, have been flooded. The damage sustained is, however, less than might have been ex pected. On Wednesday and yesterday afternoon Stoney lane, Tooley-street, was partially flooded, and near to Stanton's lower wharf there was no passage for pedes trians. Another high tide was shortly expected. THE GREAT BRITAIN....—It WAS rather generally supposed that this vessel would have left Cumberland basin on the high tides of the early part of this week. She could not, however, be got ready in time, and her departure is postponed to the corresponding period of next month, when it is confidently expected she will pro ceed to sea. We understand no doubt is entertained of there being a sufficient rise of water to carry her out without difficulty.—Bristol Gazette. t
