We subjoin a few extracts from the Bill, to show its tyrannical and oppressive nature: — "And be it enacted, that if any servant, workman, la bourer, or other person shall contract to serve or *work for any other person, and shall not enter into his or her service or employment according to the contract, or having entered thereunto, shall absent himself or herself there from before the term of his or her contract, or before the work contracted to be performed shall be completed, or shall be guilty of any other misbehaviour concerning such service or employment, it shall be lawful for any justice of the peace, upon complaint thereof made upon oath by the master or employer, or by his or her steward or agent, bailiff, foreman, or manager, instead of awarding damages or abatement of wages, to order that the party complained of shall be imprisoned in the common gaol or house of corection, with or without hard labour, for any term not exceeding two calender months. " And be it enacted, that any justice of the peace, upon any complaint being made before him, which he has authority to hear and determine under this Act, may issue his summons in writing for the attendance of the person complained of, at a time and place to be appointed for hearing the complaint, and to be set forth in the summons ; and if' the person to whom any such summons shall have been directed shall not appear according to the tenor thereof, and no sufficient cause shall be shown for his or her non-appearance, it shall be lawful for any justice of the . peace, upon proof of the service of the summons, to issue his warrant for the apprehension of such person, or if complaint shall be made upon oath before such justice that the person complained of has absconded, or is about to abscond, it shall be lawful for such justice to issue his warrant for the apprehension of such person, either without issuing any summons or after the issue of the summons, in order that the complaint may be heard and determined. " And be it enacted, that it shall be lawful for any justice of the peace, at the request in writing of any of the parties to the said complaint, and oil the oath of such party, that he or she believes that the attendance of any person as a witness will be material to the hearing of such complaint, to issue his summons to any such person to appear and give evidence on oath before such justice as shall hear and determine the complant, at a time and place to be set forth in the said summons ; and if any person so summoned shall not appear at the time and place set forth in the said summons, and shall not offer any reasonable excuse for the default, to the satisfaction of the justice attending for the purpose of hearing and determining the complaint, or, appearing according to the summons, shall not submit to be examined as a wit ness, then it shall be lawful for such last-mentioned justice, upon proof of the service of the summons, by warrant under his hand and seal, to commit the person so making default in appearing, or appearing and re fusing to give evidence, to some prison within his juris diction, there to remain without bail or mainprize, for any time not exceeding one calendar month, or until such person shall submit to be examined and give evidence." We think that comment by us is altogether needless, as .every reflecting mind will at once perceive that a law framed in such indefinite terms, as in the fourth clause,—giving such extraordinary and despotic powers to a single justice of the peace in the fifth and seventh clauses, would have placed the toiling free-born sons and daughters of Britain entirely in the hands of their foremen and masters, who, we have every reason to be lieve, would soon have used, or rather abused, the power thereby given to them, to crush and still further de grade those dependent on them, who, alas ! are already in thousands of cases too mush degraded. The ten dency of such a law would have been to make good masters and foremen bad ones, and to render bad ones a thousand times worse by legalising oppression in all its forms. We believe, then, that this tyrannical measure has only to be made known to be generally, if not univer sally detested, by all honest men ; for what trade, or what labourer, could have escaped the effects of such a wily law so long as any misbehaviour, however trivial, respecting their service or employment, made them liable to be imprisoned in the common gaol for two months, with or without hard labour. We feel confideflt, that all in whose hearts there exists a sense of gratitude, will unite with us, and aid us in presenting a National Testi monial of Gratitude to Mr. Duncombe, for his past ser- NiJes in our, and in their behalf—but chiefly for his noble exertions in defeating this Government measure, thereby rescuing us from its evil consequences had it become the law of the land. On behalf of the Central Committee, JOHN ROSE, Chairman. JAMES SYME, 1 JOHN KELSEY, 5 Secretaries. ,eorge Webster, Esq. Archibald Cockburn, Esq. John Barnes, Esq. James Farquhar, Esq. J. W. Sutherland, Esq. Peter Laurie, Esq. W. M. Nurse, Esq. W. P. Craufurd, Esq. Major-General Robertson John Connell, Esq. Benjamin Boyd, Esq. William Morley, Esq. And upwards of 100 Proprietors. At a GENERAL MEETING of the PROPRIETORS, held at the Court-room of the Banking-house, No. 8, Moorgate-street, on Wed nesday, July 10, 1844, the following Report was read by the Secre- tary : The Directors have great pleasure in laying before the Proprietors the Fifth Annual Report of the affairs of the Company, for the year ending 30th June, 1844, from which it will be seen that the satisfac tory increase of the business of the Bank, which has formed the sub ject of congratulation since its establishment, still attends its opera tions ; and, notwithstanding the further depression in the value of money since the last report, the Directors are enabled to declare a dividend of 5 per cent. per annum (clear of income-tax) on the paid up capital of the Company. The balance sheet annexed to this report shows the results of the business of the Bank for the past year; and the Proprietors will ob serve, that after payment of all charges for the establishment, and interest to customers on their current and deposit accounts (amount ing to 18,6441.), the unappropriated profit for the past year at 30th June last, was 32,1131. 17s, which, after payment of the dividend, and appropriating 5001. as usual in reduction of the preliminary expenses, enables the Directors to add 3,4681. 16s. Id. to the reserved fund, which will thus be increased to 12,006/. invested in Govern ment Securities, leaving a surplus unappropriated profit of 7,0001. Os. 11d. The continued depression in the value of money is undoubtedly an important consideration in regulating the rate ofinterest to be allowed to customers on their current and deposit accounts, and the Directors have not failed to give this subject its due attention ; but they are of opinion that the permanent interests of the Shareholders are best consulted by a strict adherence to those principles upon which this Bank was founded, and which has secured for it so much of the public confidence ; with this conviction, the Directors do not contemplate making any alteration in the allowance of interest on current ac counts to their customers. The agency business of the Bank has been most materially in creased during the past year : and, in addition to other 'valuable banking connections formed both at home and abroad, the Directors have to state that six important Joint-stock Banks have appointed this Company their agents in London since the last report ; while, with reference to the general business of the Bank, the increase on currency and deposit accounts has been more than 60 per cent. re spectively, as compared with the statement presented las year. The premises now occupied by the Bank having become inadequate for the convenient transaction of its extended business, the Direc tors have availed themselves of the opportunity of purchasing from the Great Western . Railway Company their extensive freehold pre mises in Princes-street, which will secure a permanent position for the Bank in the most convenient situation in the City. The Direc tors intend to remove the business of the Bank to the new banking hbuse at Christmas next. Since the commencement of the Bank in 1839, the Directors have had to regret the loss, by death, of two esteemed colleagues, Mr. Skaife and Mr. Meux ; and in pursuance of the powers vested in them by the deed of settlement, the Directors, in February last, elected William Morley, Esq., to supply one of these vacancies. The Proprietors will have observed with great satisfaction, that, by the Government measure for renewing the Bank of England Charter, which has now passed the House of Commons, the restriction which has hitherto prohibited JointLstock Banks in London from accepting bills at a less date than six months, will be removed. This just con cession to sound principles will enable these banks to undertake, with full reciprocal advantage to their customers, the entire * agency of country banks, while it gives them increased facility for the trans rction of an extensive and profitable description of banking business, from which they have have hitherto been excluded. In accordance with the provisions of the deed of settlement, the three following Directors—Sir Peter Laurie, Andrew Spottiswoode, Esq., and George Webster, Esq.—go out of office ; but being eligible, the Court unanimously recommend them for re-election. GLAMORGANSHIRE, DELIGHTFUL MARINE RESIDENCE, near the flourishing Town of SWANSEA. MESSRS.

LOSS OF THREE BRITISH VESSELS—COUR TESY AND PROMPT ASSISTANCE OF THE MASTER OF A FRENCH VESSEL. " Downing-street, July 9, 1844. " Sir,—l am directed, by Lord Stanley, to transmit to you, for the information of the Committee of Lloyd's, the inclosedlextract of a letter from the French Civil Superintendent of the Island of St. Pierre, to the Gover nor of Newfoundland, reporting the loss of three English vessels, named the Jane Walker, the James Harris, and the Phcenix. " I have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient servant, (Signed) " J. STEPHEN. " W. Dobson, Esq., Secretary, Lloyd's." Extract of a letter from the Governor of St. tPierre to his Excellency Major-General Sir John Harvey, K.C.B. and K.C., &c., &c. (TRANSLATION.) " St. Pierre, 6th May, 1844. " Captain Adelus of the French brig Le Perseverant, off Granville, who arrived at St. Pierre on the 23d April last, has deposited in the Office for Maritime Affairs a report as follows: " On the 13th April, 1844, in latitude 45 deg. 3 min. N., and longitude 46 deg. 49 min. W. (Meridian of Paris), he fell in with a ship which had lost her main and wizen masts ; that having sent his mate in a boat to afford assistance if required, no person was found on board. The ship appeared to have been boarded—all her bulwarks were) broken, and her masts had fallen on the poop. " The mate and men of Le Perseverant went into the cabin, where the sea had not penetrated, and found on a table five letters, three of which had been opened, and two were unopened ; everything in the cabin was in the greatest disorder, and led them to suppose that the ship had been precipitately abandoned. There was no boat remaining on board. On the stern of the vessel was the name Jane Walker, Liverpool,' and she was timber laden. " The letters found by the crew of Le Perseverant have been delivered to me by Captain Adelus, and I have the honour to inclose them to you, in the condition which they were found. They may afford useful infor mation as to the port from which the Jane Walker sailed, and that to which she was bound. " Another report was made yesterday to the same de partment of the saving of twelve men, comprising the crew of the barque James Harris, of Newcastle, bound from London to Quebec, and ich foundered at sea under the following circumstances : " Captain Puchee, of the French brig l'Encarnet, of Bourdeaux, on the sth April, 1844, in lat. 46, 19 N., lon. 49 W., saw an immense field of ice, and after hav ing tacked to avoid it, the men employed in shaking out the reefs in the topsails saw a boat in the direction of the ice. Captain Puchee, forgetting the dangerous vicinity of the ice, hesitated not to go about and run towards the boat. His praiseworthy conduct had its reward. The boat contained 12 men, with only two oars, and he had the satisfaction of receiving them on board, where he lost no time in affording them those attentions which their condition required. These men, as I have told your Excellency, were the crew of the James Harris. The captain alone had perished. Captain Puchee has, in his report, stated the circumstances which had obliged the crew of the James Harris to leave her. He adds, that on the 9th April, having fallen in with an . English brig, bound from Newcastle to Quebec, he put, at their desire, the shipwrecked, men on board her , an d conti nued his voyage to St. Pierre, where he arrived yes terday. " I have thought it my duty to apprise you of these occurrences, because the ships belonged to Great Bri tain, and, from your frequent opportunities of commu nicating with Europe, you are better able to give them that publicity which they may appear to you to require. "I have also to inform your Excellency of what the interruption of our communication in the winter has hitherto prevented me from doing, viz., the loss of the English ship Phcenix, of Scarborough, Captain Richard Turner, bound from Miramichi to E n g land with a load of timber, and wrecked on the 26th of November, 1843, on the coast of Little Miguelon, or Langlois. Eight persons perished; and I inclose a copy of the prods verbal which verifies the ci rcumstance. The remains of the ship and the carp have been saved by the efforts of the administrator at Miguelon, and sold at auction on the 18th of January, 1844. The sale produced the sum of 5,460 francs, from which was deducted the expenses of salvage, surveillance, &c., including 1,609 f. 90c. expenditure for feeding and cloth ing the seamen, leaving a balance of 1,475 f. 85c., which sum has been deposited in the Marine Chest, to be paid over to those entitled to receive it, agreeably to the regulations of the Legislature. It is probable that this su m will be reclaimed and .paid in Europe." EAST INDIA SHIPPING.

Sir,—As I have unfortunately occupied for some time past a conspicuous place in your columns, I trust you will allow me to communicate one or two facts for the information of those who have taken an interest in my painful case. It must have surprised many that no evi dence was called on my behalf, and some have assumed, perhaps, that I had none of importance to offer. My evidence, and which was set out in the brief, was, however, of the greatest importance, and which it was always most fully intended should be adduced. Mr. Parry, in his advice on the evidence, speaks of the documentary portion as " most valuable," and the oral testimony as most important." It was my desire that the Court should be put in possession of the utmost possible information, and with this view counsel were instructed to call all the clerks of the house, to submit all the office books and every paper connected with the case—to put into the box a witness who was had up from Bath for that purpose, and who had been remain ing in town several days, who would have proved the elaborate pains taken to prevent my detecting the im position ; also several parties who had transactions with me, who would have proved facts raising the strongest possible presumption against my being a guilty participator in these frauds. The correspondence with Fletcher, too, would have shown how studiously he had misled me, and that the business was conducted by myself and Bircham precisely like the other business of the office. It will naturally be asked why these were not called ? My counsel alone can fully explain it. I was astonished beyond measure when Mr. Wilkins, at the close of his very able address, immediately called witnesses' to character only. I certainly thought, that skilfully and ingeniously as the evidence was produced against me, a verdict of guilty could not be pronounced, and Mr. Wilkins appears to have reckoned with perfect confidence on a favourable verdict. It is with painful reluctance that I thus express my regret at the course adopted by my counsel, as I feel the warmest gratitude to both Mr. Wilkins and Mr. Parry for the generous manner in which they took up my defence, whilst their fees were almost nominal. From the perusal of my briefs, and from Mr. Parry's conferences with me, counsel knew well my perfect innocence. To Mr. Wilkins I cannot but feel the utmost gratitude, not only for his great exertions at the trial, but for the generous sym pathy he has manifested since. I am quite sure that upon a review of the facts that could have been proved on my behalf, he must have regretted that such evidence was not adduced, especially as it would have met the very points that were most dwelt upon by the judge ; and, after all, it was not without great hesitation that the jury returned a verdict against me. Since my con finement in Milbank prison I have memorialized Sir James Graham to allow me to submit my books, papers, and correspondence, and to afford me an opportunity of personally explaining the circumstances which have created suspicion against me. I begged that each of the other prisoners' might be desired to make detailed state ments of all the circumstances in any manner affecting me. If this had been done, there is not the slightest doubt that my innocence would have been irresistibly demonstrated. lam . quite aware that I had no legal right to such an inquiry, but as the only appeal for the correction of an error which condemns an innocent man to unspeakable misery is to the Crown, I do think that every opportunity should be afforded to a prisoner to establish his innocence. In my defence I have laboured under every possible difficulty ; the public mind became greatly prejudiced against me by ex parte statements. I have been kept a close prisoner from the day of my apprehension—the 9th of December last, without money, in ill-health, and almost without friends. In this deplorable condition I had to contend against the most 'formidable power that could be brought against an unfortunate man. The struggle was too unequal ; power has triumphed over innocence. The public has now seen the declaration which Fletcher has at length thought fit to make, having withheld it until all hopes of making terms with the pro secution were at end. This declaration was quite voluntary, for be assured there is not, nor ever can be, any connexion between me and this man beyond that which my painful position enforces. That his dark shadow should still cross my path is an additional drop' of. bitterness in the cup which I have already drained to the dregs. All the prisoners have now as with one voice proclaimed my innocence—Mrs. Dorey, Sanders, his wife (the Emma Slack), and lastly, Fletcher, These declarations were made at different times, under different circumstances, and without the slightest concert with me or with each other—not for their own benefit, but rather to their prejudice. That Mrs. Dorey did declare my innocence to her medical attendant and to others at the Compter, when she was first apprehended, and be fore she sought to make terms with the prosecution, is well known. But the declaration of Sanders was made under circumstances, and with a consistency and evident sincerity, which no impartial mind can consider without a conviction of my innocence. He is the husband of the pretended Emma Slack. When the report of the first examination in the case appeared in the public papers, he and his wife immediately took flight, not, however, without communicating with his solicitor. Sanders then assured him that I was wholly innocent. Upon his ap prehension he was brought to the Compter ; he then gave way to the bitterest anguish, saying to his medical attendant, and to others, " I am guilty, but there is one poor gentleman here who is innocent as a child unborn— that is, Mr. Barber ; he (Barber) had every reason to believe that my wife was Emma Slack, as she represented herself to be.' He repeated this at Newgate to the chaplain, and to various other parties there, before and after his trial ; he did the same at Milbank prison, and declared that Fletcher had always cautioned him against my detection of the fraud. Now, how can any reasonable mind regard this ? It cannot be supposed that he was insin cere, or that he could have been ignorant had I possessed a guilty knowledge. If a separate trial had been allowed me I should not only have called Sanders, but each of the other prisoners, Jas sworn by the affidavit at my solici tsr's. I must not encroach upon your columns by no ticing other features in my distressing case. Mr. Wil kins will pardon me for alluding to one point connected with his very eloquent defence. He attacked the prose cution with great determination. Now, I must admit that I brought the prosecution upon myself by with holding Fletcher's name, believing that the transaction would prove to be a correct one. That prosecution was certainly conducted against me with great severity ; but the whole scope of my defence and my explanation of the circumstances raised against me was, that Fletcher had grossly misled me. It was of him therefore that I had the most reason to complain. My case is indeed a pitiable one. After seventeen years' clerkship in one house I attained the rank of a solicitor ; in seven more of great labour and anxiety I obtained an extensive and valuable practice. I was happy in the retrospect—hap pier still in my prospects ; my character and usefulness in society were proved 'by a host of respectable wit nesses. I am now in the very depth of misery—my greatest fault' being an implicit confidence in a client whom no solicitor would have distrusted. Not the slightest of my country's laws have I offended ; my wretchedness is greater far than that of a guilty man ; his mind would have been prepared, and his arrange mets made. I write this amidst a scene of revelry and uproar ; I alone am in agonising sadness. This morn ing the vessel sails to convey me from all that I hold dear on earth. Deeply, most deeply, do I lament that the friends I leave behind me, and to whom I was dearly attached, should be disgraced by me ; that disgrace, however, arises only from terrible misfortune, not guilt. For that I am innocent ,of all guilty knowledge of a participation in these frauds—that I shared none, no, not the least, of the unenviable plunder (all this is confirmed by those who alone could have a perfect knowledge on the subject—namely, those who employed me as their so licitor, and by whom the fraud was devised and consum mated) more than the judge who tried me, I solemnly declare before God and man, and as I hope to enjoy peace in this world and that which is to come. And although I am at present unjustly suffering as a male factor, I am not without hope that the time will come when my innocence will be both proved and acknow ledged ; when I shall be enabled to return into society, from which, but for an extraordinary and almost unpa ralleled combination of unfortunate circumstances, I should never have been driven. Craving your pardon for occupying so large a portion of your valuable space, I have the honour to remain, Sir, your most obedient servant, WILLIAM HENRY BARBER. Ship Agincourt, off Woolwich, July S. MASTERS AND SERVANTS' BILL TO THE TRADES AND WORKING CLASSES GENERALLY. The Metropolitan Duncombe Testimonial Committee have found, from statements and applications repeatedly made to them relative to the Masters and Servants' Bill, that few have any knowledge of its nature, and there fore the great masses of the people do not understand how it was likely to have affected their interests, their rights and liberties, had it passed into a. law. This we are not surprised at when we consider the little publicity which has hitherto been given to those Government measures which have, evidently, been intended to be smuggled through the Houses of Parliament, as the Masters and Servants' Bill so doubt was, and would have been, but for him who is ever on the watch to guard the interests of the people—namely,. Thomas Slin„o•sby Duncombe. And finding, also, that there exists in the public mind a strong desire to be informed of the nature of the Bill, which in our Address already issued, we have said was fraught with mischief to the working millions of this kingdom:—We, therefore, deem it to be our duty to give publicity to theßill, especially to those clauses of it which would have most materially affected the condi tion of working men, and working women too, in order that they may judge for themselves, and be able to ap preciate the eminent services which the undaunted, and unswerving Friend of the People, T. S. Duncambe, Esq.,M.P., has rendered them by his strenuous exertions in thwarting, and finally defeating, that infamous mea sure; evidently intended still further to subjugate labour to the merciless power cd capital. THE BRAZILIAN TARIFF. It has been fully expected for some time past, that the conduct of the British Government, in reference to the duties on foreign sugar and coffee, would tend to pro duce a strong feeling of hostility to the commerce of this country, and probably give rise to a highly restrictive tariff of duties upon the leading articles of ma nufacture imported from it. These anticipations seem now about to be fulfilled ; and a copy of the tariff prepared by the Brazilian Government, but not yet officially promulgated, reached this town yesterday; having been brought to Brest by the French ship La Gloire, which sailed from Rio on the 10th of May. This tariff is to take effect from the expiration of the com mercial treaty with England, in the month of November next; and we learn, with more regret than surprise, that it will pause a very large increase in the duties on all the principal articles of export from this country.' It is pretty generally known, that the duties levied on articles of British manufacture, at the present time, though nominally at a uniform rate of 15 per cent.. amount in reality to about 21 per cent. ad valorem ; but, by the tariff now proposed; the bulk of the ex ports from this country will be subjected •to duties, varying from 30 to 60 per cent., ad valorem, which will, no doubt, have a very serious effect upon British commerce: For this result we have only to blame the restrictions which our own laws have placed upon the trade of Brazil, by prohibitory duties upon her staple articles of produce. That these prohibitory duties will be eventually abandoned, we feel quite sure ; but the mischief is, that the change will most probably come too late to influence the Brazilian Legislature ; and re laxations which, if they had been made twelve months ago, would have secured a treaty favourable to the com merce of this country, will not hereafter avail to induce a change in the policy of the Brazilian Government.— Manchester Guardian. STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian of yesterday.) There is not much change in the market as compared with last week ; but, upon the whole, prices are firmer, and the appearance of business is somewhat more favour. able. Yarns suitable for Germany and Russia are in good demand, and • some descriptions, particularly in water-twist, are exceedingly scarce, and advancing in price. Goods, with the exception of 40-inch shirtings, are also in fair demand, and prices are very firm. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MAiHET, MONDAY, JULY B. The demand for flannels, especially of the lower sorts, has been good. On the whole, it has been quite an average day for business. The wool market has been rather flat; the prices being too high to remunerate the manufacturer. SUICIDE BY A FRENCHMAN. Yesterday morning, a Frenchman, who, from all the accounts which have been learned of him, was named Felix Em, committed suicide in one of the state-rooms of the barque China, in which vessel he had taken his pas sage from Liverpool for Quebec, by shooting .himself through the head with a loaded pistol. The deceased seems to have been a man of highly respectable appear ance in dress and manner. He had, a short time since, _ _ doubloonswelt e ring in an d h i s o t h b lo od c yi coin s t o e f r yd, t v w a o l ü b e a g o s f arrived in Liverpool from Genoa ; - and at the time he containing a f9 in t i n n d g 1,0001. were discovered upon his person. An inquest was was held upon the body shortly after the occurrence took place; and from the examination of the several witnesses, full particulars will be gleaned. Win. Worthington was the first examined. He stated that he was a pilot, and that he lived at 37, Burlington street. On Monday afternoon he went on duty on board the barque China, which is outward-bound to Quebec, and at present lying in the river. The deceased, with whose name he was unacquainted, was a passenger on board, and had a state-room to himself, for which he had paid 151. On the morning of that day (Tuesday), a little before nine o'clock, witness was in the cabin. The deceased, who was a Frenchman, and unable to speak English, was walking about at the time. On going down to the cabin in four or five minutes after, wit ness heard the report of fire-arms; accompanied with a strong smell of powder. He immediately got up and went to see what was the matter, and on passing the state-room of the deceased, he perceived smoke issuing from the crevices in the. door. He then tried if the door was fast, and found that it was not ; but he was only able to open it a little. He saw marks of blood on the floor. He called to the mate to send some one aft, and a seaman came ; and on forcing the door, which they did with difficulty, as the deceased was lying against it, they found him on his back, and blood flowing from a wound on his right temple, through which his brains were protruding. As he was still alive, a boat was sent for a surgeon ; but in a few minutes after the latter arrived, the deceased breathed his last. A pistol (here produced) was lying on his left side. The de ceased never left the vessel from the time she went out of the dock, and from that time up to the period of the suicide he saw him frequently, and, so far as he could judge, he appeared to be perfectly collected. He did not observe anything strange or peculiar about him. Wit ness does not understand the French language. Mr. Samuel Allerton stated that he was a surgeon, and that he was called to see the deceased that morning on board the China. He found him in a dying state, and in about a quarter - of an hour after, he breathed his. last. He had a large wound on the right temple, which penetrated his skull, so that a man could pass his finger to the full length into the brains. Captain Wagstaife deposed that he lived in Temple court, and that he had known the deceased fora fortnight or more. Their acquaintance commenced on Saturday fortnight, when witness was sent for to act as his inter preter. Witness continued with him from that time until Friday. He told witness that he was a native of France. He was unable to speak English. He purchased some articles which he said were for his sister in Quebec; and he shipped on board the China for that destina tion. Witness was not aware of what had happened u ntil an hour after it occurred; but he had since seen and recognised the body lying in the dead house. He thought there was something wrong about the deceased, and his reason for thinking so was, that, when he was first sent for to him, he said he was indisposed and suffering from fever, and that he would not go out. He appeared to be very timid and afraid to be seen, and he had a brace of pistols by him, which he said he kept loaded for his own protection while travel ling. Witness took them to have the charge drawn and reloaded. The pistol now produced, and which was found in his state-room, is one , of them. The letter found in deceased's pocket, was inclosed in an envelope, containing a lock of black hair, and was written in the French language. The envelope was addressed in French, to " Mr. Felix, traveller, post office, until called for, Genoa, Italy." The letter ap peared to be signed by the sister of the deceased. At this, stage of the proceedings, the inquest was adjourned to nine o'clock this morning, for further evidence.—Liverpool Courier of Wednesday. • , [A D VERTISEMENT.] — The Atrapilatory, or Liquid Hair Dye, the only dye that really answers for all co lours, and does not require re-doing but as the hair grows, as it never fades, or acquires that unnatural red or purple tint common to all other dyes, Ross and Sons can, with the greatest confidence, recommend the above dye as infallable, if done at their establishment; and la dies or gentlemen requiring it are requested to bring their friends or servants with them to see how it is used, which will enable them to do it afterwards without the chance of failure.
