EXTRAORDINARY SUICIDE OF LO VERS—DOMESTIC TRAGEDY. Perhaps one of the most affecting suicidal tragedies 'that has happ ened i n the metropolis for many years a °ceu rred this inornint lie at a very early hour, at the dwel g of a Mr. Duckett, an accountant, No. 9, Raven- DMile curt, viz., the self-destrucfon of Charles Wm. uckett, Pg. d 21, son, and Elizabeth Williams, aged 22, Vwere, from the effects of prussic acid. As may be ima ai, it h as crca ' ed the greatest sensation in the imme te n eighbourh oo d, an d during the whole of the morn ing la the e xcitement has been of the most intense charac er. The eircumstanc( s connected with this really la inentable affair are of a very painful description. It 411 ears that for upwards of nine years the unfortunate & Persons, w h o h ave fallen a sacr i f i ce b y the i r own .ss ud 's• were closely attached to each other, and We n , never known to have quarrelled. On day afternoon they had tea at Mr. Duckett's ho use, and took their departure at about half-past five, at the same time stating that they were going to church, a T t li / nich period they se e me d i n exce ll en t goo d s pi r its. P wore On, and eleven o'clock having arrived, II " usual t i me they returned having passed, the family brot hers somewh a t a l arme d . S oon a f terwar d s , t wo t ethers of the ill-fated girl visited Mr. Dackett, and in if his son or their sister had been seen, she Cyr g not m a d e h er appearance, and the lateness o f t h e 80 4 'r, indu ce d them to think that they had met with accident. Unpleasant feelings of alarm were then vic e b y ; '" Messengers were dispatched all round the 1,-n'tY search of them, but of no avail. At last, etw een one and two o'clock, whilst Mr. Duckett was rchin g a b out the house in the hope of finding some letter which would mention where they had gone, he dis covered that his son's bed-room was fastened in the insid e that the key b e i ng i n t h e d oor . I t b e i ng surm i se d he h ad retir returned unknown to the family and had pa t° rest, the door was broke open, and there, per .4pa ' aun ,„ ; ' °n e of the most saddening scenes that could be 1 . 1 .„ - w h ed was Presented to a parent. Th e b o di es o f t h e " e "" n g Couple were stretched on the bed, life having been apparently fur some time, with their arms eh ea each others neck. Cups were found on acid °f their sides which smelt of prussic as als o two bottles on the mante l-piece,which had 4 11 , i aitted that deadly poison. Mr. Deere, a surgeon, of .:iEad-reud, was promptly sent for, and who pro inced them to have expired from that effective poison. the the bodies l ay, i t appears that they must have sat on b a e e : l4l of the b e d when they comm i tted the act, an d f e ll sh e T he poor girl's features were very prepossessing. Burgo s very respect a bly connec t e d, her father being a tb ll in the Cannon-street road. As to the cause of ise.inelan c h o l y affair, not the least motive, as yet, can be Wil gt i led • In the ap artment was f oun d a l e tt er , bordered an ' , lack, as also a black seal, written by the young e iin, and addressed to a young lady in Lucas-street, Q laniMerci al - road, in a very c ool and deliberate style, the ne hi a of whi c h may ten d to so l ve t hi s trag i c a ff a i r . re given to understand that he was a clerk in the T ow apei er Hamlets ,Cou of Requests' use, in b een - - Information rt of the deplorable ho occurrence Whit- has it i e°4lna unicated to Mr. Baker, the Coroner, who, e e xpected w i ll hold an inquest on the bodies in the 'AIN of the day.

The Minis as as a further en ' coura ement, h a s authorised the corn under o f corps to give g men a fortnight's furlough, re taining their i,e p ay. This measure has alrea d y produced g °°(l eff ect so-that it is hoped the standing army will be st rengthened, and that the nuadier of the militia who have to be chosen by ballot every year to remain under arms will be diminished. THE HAGUE, Nov. 2 2.—The Government has lately Published a detailed statement of the public revenue e ftparing the r ece ipt o f the first nine months of 1844 with that of the same period of 1843. This proceeding, p r o= the Handelsblad, gives immodiate satisfaction, as 0 ' o wing the frank and constitutional intentions of the Jellisment. The receipt this year for the first nine _utn. is less than the estimates but there is no reason v_aopprehend, says the Handebblad, that the result of the 'Lie year will be unfavourable. /301:nesEts, Nov 21.—The commemoration of the thi s lah Revoluti on o f 1830 will b e celebrated at B russels of th Y e ar in the usua l manner, in the large G ot hi c h a ll porinifotel de Ville.

London, Nov. 25, 1844. THE SUICIDE ON EPPING FOREST On Saturday evening last an inquest was held at the King's Oak Inn, High Beach, before Mr. C. C. Lewis, the coroner for South Essex, on view of the body of Alexander Scott Grove, Esq., aged fift years of age, who committed suicide at mid-day on 'Wednesday last, in Epping Forest. The circumstances attendant on the death of the deceased, seemed, for two or three days, to be enveloped in considerable mystery, and the report current in the neighbourhood was, that on Wednesday morning he arrived from town, at the establishment of Dr. Allen, at High Beach, on a visit to one of the female patients there, and shortly afterwards was found hanging from a tree in the forest. From the evidence adduced before the coroner and jury on Saturday evening, it appeared that the deceased gentleman had been a patient in the asylum of Dr. Allen for five months, and left in perfect health. The week before last symptoms of his former disease having presented themselves, his medical attendant in town recommended another retirement to the asylum of Dr. Allen, and on Monday last he was taken there by his brother. There being no certificate of his insanity, he was not placed under any particular restraint. On Tuesday night his malady seemed in creasing, and in the presence of Dr. Allen himself let drop some hints about his intention to commit suicide, but the Doctor rallied him, and he subsequently joined in a game of whist, and his mind seemed more at ease. Dr. Allen, however, felt it necessary, from the symptoms that presented themselves, to write to the brother of the deceased, and request his attendance at High Beach without delay. On Wednesday morning deceased was allowed to walk about unrestrained, and had been seen by many persons in the neighbourhood of High Beach. About one o'clock ho was found by two men, named Clark and Morgan, suspended by a white silk handker chief from the branch of an oak, in a thicket in the forest. They immediately cut him down, and carried the body to the King's Oak Inn, where Mr. Scool, a veterinary surgeon, made several efforts to restore ani mation, but without effect. The body was hardly cold when the brother of the deceased had arrived at Dr. Allen's establishment, where news of the melancholy discovery had but a few minutes before reached. Dr. Darling, a medical gentleman, under whose care and treatment the deceased had frequently been, deposed to his being subject to occasional attacks of insanity, and said that Mr. Grove had latterly expressed his fear of laying violent hands on himself, and he (Dr. Darling) in consequence recommended him to go back to Dr. Allen's, and keeping himself quiet there, and he should soon recover from such a feeling. The CORONER expressed his regret, after what fell from the deceased gentleman himself about his intention to commit suicide, that he was not put under some re straint or surveillance. Had such been done his life might have been spared, and he considered that the con duct of Dr. Allen was not altogether free from blame in the unfortunate affair. The jury expressed a similar opinion, and returned a verdict that the deceased had committed the act of suicide while labouring under temporary insanity. FUNERAL or DR. ABERCROMI3Y.—The funeral of this eminent physician took place at Edinburgh, on Wednesday, and was attended by the members of the Royal Colleges of Physicians and Surgeons, amounting to about ono hundred and fifty, and a great number of other gentlemen, friends of the deceased. His remains were interred in the West Church-yard, CHARITABLE FUND AND DISPENSARY ' FORE STREET, CITY.—On Sunday two sermo ns, on behalf of this Institution, were preached at the church of St. Law • rence and Mary Magdalene, morning and evening respectively ; that in the morning, by the Rev. Charles Marshall, M.A. ; and that in the evening, by the Rev. A. M'Caull, D.D. In the course of an eloquent appeal, it was stated that within the past year no less than 1,000 patients had been relieved and cured. The sum collected amounted altogether to 201. 13s. 4d. REXTRAORDINARY BIRTIL—A poor woman of the name of Mumford, residing in Angel-alley, Bishopsgate street, and whose husband earns about Os. a week, was yesterday morning delivered of two boys and a girl, living and likely to live. They had four before this event made them the parents of seven, all in ono room, and in very deplorable circumstances. This case is a very lamentable one, and is represented to us as one well deserving the charity of the public. On Wednesday a large brass mortar, weighing about nine tons, was landed at the Dockyard, from the Cornwallis, and is to be sent round to the eastward. It was brought from Trincomalee, said to have been taken by the Tartars ; it was found buried in the mud, and is supposed to have been there about 200 years. The orifice of the pie ce i s a b ou t 2ft. 3i in., and it appears to be of good workmanship. —Devonport Independent. THE SUN, .LON 00. N, MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN - EXCHANGE-MONDAY. During the past week rather an extensive supply of English Wheat came to hand from Lincolnshire, but from Essex and Kent the receipts of that article of grain were only to a moderate extent. Of other kinds of grain the arrivals were by no means large. Fresh up the supplies of Wheat coastwise, as well as by land car riage and sample, were only moderate, yet we had rather an extensive show of parcels of both red and white, ow ing to which the demand for all kinds of Wheat of home produce was in a very sluggish state. However, the finest qualities were mostly disposed of at fully last week's quotations, but all other kinds were a mere drug at barely late rates. The general condition of the samples was inferior. The imports of foreign Wheat have been small, and we had very few samplei here to-day. Generally speaking, holders were firm. The finest qualities commanded a fair inquiry, at very full prices. In other kinds, next to nothing was doing. A few speculative sales took place in bonded Barley ; but other Corn, under lock, was almost nominal in value. The show of Barley was tolerably extensive. Fine parcels sold at a decline of is ; other kinds, is to 2s per quarter, and a large portion remained over for Wednes day. The Malt trade was very dull, and, in some instances, the rates were somewhat easier. The show of Oats was good, while all descriptions met a slow inquiry, at barely last week's quotations. In Beans very little was doing, at an abatement of Is per quarter. Gray and Maple Peas were is per quarter cheaper. Flour, and all other articles, were very dull.

Compared with that exhibited on many previous Mondays the supplylof Beasts on sale was but moderate, while its general quality was very inferior. Owing to the favourable change in the weather, the increased at tendance of both town and country buyers, and to the dead markets being well cleared of their last week's arrivals of country-killed meat, the beef trade this morn ing;was active, at an advance in the currencies obtained on this day se'nnight of quite 2d per Blbs. ; the best Scots, &0., readily producing 4s 2d per 81bs., and at which improvement a clearance was effected without difficulty. During the week the imports of lire stock at Hull have amounted to 96 Beasts and 40 Sheep, by steamers from Rotterdam ; while in London we have received seventy-two Oxen and Cows from the above port, exclusive of 40 Sheep. At Southampton three Oxen have come to hand from Vigo. Generally speaking these imports have come in fair average condi tion. To-day we had only five Beasts and 20 Sheep offering from Holland. The whole found buyers at a trifle more money. The arrival of Beasts from Lincoln shire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire amounted to about 1,400 Short Horns. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex and Cambridgeshire, we have received 300 Scots, &c. ; from the Western and Midland Counties, 600 Devons, Herefords, Runts, Irish Beasts, &c. ; from other parts of England, 500 of various breeds ; and from Scotland 200 Horned and Polled Scots—the remainder oft he supply being derived from the neighbourhood of the metropolis. The supply of Sheep was only moderate for the time of year. but quite equal to meet the wants of the buyers. Prime old Downs commanded a steady inquiry, at an advance in the quotations of 2d per Sibs, the highest figure being 4s 2d ;:but in the value of other qualities no variation was noticed. As is usually the case at this season, the Veal trade was extremely inactive, at nominally low figures. There was a steady business doing in the primest Pigs ; but other qualities were a mere drug.

With meat killed in the metropolis we have been well supplied, yet the demand for the primest Beef and Mutton has ruled active, at full prices.

In the past week the imports of Wool have been libe ral, they having consisted of 159 bales from Hamburgh, 288 ditto from Callao, 60 ditto from Rotterdam, 425 ditio from Taganrog, 289 ditto from Port Phillip, 500 ditto from Sydney, and 275 ditto from Odessa. Both foreign and colonial qualities area dull sale, yet the rates may be considered about stationary. In English, next to nothing is doing, and prices are not maintained. TALLOW. The price of Tallow continues - very steady, and from the circumstance of many persons having an interest in the market, the price is notlikely to decline, at all events for the present. For the spring the price is firm at 41s for January, and 41s 3d for February and March. The season has closed at St Petersburgh. The total quan tity shipped off is 113,509 casks, against 121,787 last year, to the 30th October, when the winter had set in. The vessels, with one or two exceptions, will, no doubt, get away.

THE ECLIPSE. —The commencement of the eclipse last night was not seen in the metropolis, owing to the hazy weather. About midnight the darkness was in tense. A little before one o'clock, however, the moon appeared tolerably clear, and for nearly half an hour before the last contact with the shadow was distinctly visible. FATAL MINE ACCIDENT.—On Friday last, a miner named Isaac George, belonging to St. Agnes, was killed at Penhally Moor mine, in the parish of Newlyn. The unfortunate man was what is called pitman, and there fore had to manage the fixing of the materials in the engine shaft ; and whilst so engaged, a littlo below the surface, a board accidentally struck his feet off the place where ho was standing, and precipitated him to the bot tom of the shaft, whence he was taken up quite dead.

If the following statement be correct, received this morning from New York, the holders of State Bonds are in a very bad position :—" Since the departure of the last steamer there has been quite a decline in the quo tations for many of the State stocks, including some of those now regularly paying the interest on their public debt. Indiana, Illinois, and Pennsylvania State stocks have fallen off very much, and a further decline in the market value of the stock of delinquent States must be experienced. The election of Mr. Polk settles the policy of the administration of the general government for the next four years, and the principle of distribution falls to the ground. The hope that many entertained of the success of Mr. Clay, on account of this principle alone, must now be abandoned, and the cre ditors of the delinquent States look to other sources for the payment of their bonds. Every State must now depend upon its own resources. Nothing can be ex pected from the general Government to aid them ia their financial difficulties. We cannot at present see the slightest favourable indication in the movement of the repudiating States, calculated to afford the most trifling hope to those interested in the regular payment of the accruing interest on their large debts. So far as the State of Illinois is concerned, the whole negotiation, about which so much has been said, and so much time and money consumed, is narrowed down to the decision of the Legislature of the State in the coming winter." The demand for British manufactured goods had ra ther improved. The balance of trade was against the United States, and specie was ia demand for exportation to Europe. The Cotton market was brisk. The Corn trade was dull. From Canada we learn that a great deal of interest was taken in the result of the elections, which were all but completed. Sir Charles Metcalfe would, it was fully expected, have a full working majority to carry on his Government. True it is that a few names are on the list of returned members of a most doubtful and sus picious repute. Nevertheless it is to be hoped that the general policy of Sir Charles may be carried on, as his desire is to extend the prosperity, and to develop the resources of the Canadas. The weather had set in very severely. These are accounts from Buenos Ayres to-day to the 7th September. It appears that conflicts were still in progress with the Monte Videans, and that they have in some instances the advantage, at least according to their own accounts. The Government brokers took about 15,0001. stock in the New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. to day at 102 k. The market for the Funds has fallen to some extent in consequence of the news from tke United States being considered as rather unfavourable—the election of Mr. Polk to tho Presidency being held as against British in fluence. The prices of Consols for the Account this morning has been 1001, and for transfer to-morrow, loot The premium on Exchequer Bills has risen to 625. In the Foreign Market a fair amount of business has been transacted to-day. Spanish Stock has scarcely been so firm as it was, as it appears that the statement of the capture of Zurbano has not been confirmed. Spa nish Bonds have been at 24, and the Three per Cents. at 351 Dutch. Fourper Cents. have been taken at 97; the Five per Cents at 99; Russian at 119 ; and Mexican at 351 In the other Foreign Bonds the variations have been slight to-day. In the Share Market more business has been effected this morning. Prices are on the whole rather lower, especially the Birmingham and Gloucester, the Bristol and Exeter, the Churnet Valley, and some f the French lines of railway.

AMERICAN NEWS. ARRIVAL OP THE GREAT WESTER IQ DEFEAT OF CLAY, AND CERTAIN ELECTION OF POLK - TO THE PRESIDENTIAL CHAIR. LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY. The steam-ship Great Western arrived here yes terday at noon, bringing New York papers to the 9th instant inclusive, being eight days• later than the last arrival. She made her voyage, after an excellent run, in thirteen days and a half. She brings thirty one passengers, amongst whom is Mr. Laning, with dispatches to Hanover, and Mr. Castelli, with dis patches also, for Sardinia. The most important feature by this arrival is the defeat of Henry Clay, and the certain election of Mr. Polk to the Presidential chair for the next term. Clay has lost the State of New York by a majority of 9,021 ; Pensylvania had also gone against Clay. Throughout the entire Union the greatest excitement prevailed, and business was almost entirely suspended. The number of Presidential elections in the Union amount to 275, out of which New York returns 26, and Pennsylvania 26, so that these two States return nearly a fifth of the whole number. The days fixed for the several elections were : Nov. Ist, Pennsylvania 26 electors, Ohio 23. Nov. 4th, New Hampshire 6, Connecticut 6, Vir ginia 17, North Carolina 11, Georgia 10, Maryland 8, Kentucky 12, Indiana 12, Illinois 9, Missouri 7, Michigan 5, Arkansas 3, Rhode Island 4. Nov. 4th and sth, Mississippi 6. Nov. sth, New York 36, Louisiana 6, Tennessee 13. Nov. sth and 6th, New Jersey 7. Nov. 11th, Massachussetts 12, Maine 9, Alabama 9. Nov. 12th, Vermont 6, Delaware 3. Dec. 1, South Carolina 2, by the Legislature. • Of these news from the following States has already arrived to an extent sufficient to ascertain the result in each. The figures denote the number of electoral votes to which they are respectfully entitled : Clay. Polk. Pennsylvania Ohio 23 Connecticut 6 Rhode Island New Hampshire 0 Maryland 8 New York Virgiria New Jersey 48 85 STATES NOT ASCERTAINED, BUT CONCEDED. Massachusetts l2 Vermont 6 Kentucky l2 Maine South Carolina Alabama Illinois 0 Missouri Arkansas 0 78 131 STATES NOT ASCERTAINED, NOR CONCEDED. Delaware North Carolina Georgia Mississipi Louisiana Tennessee Indiana Michigan The total number of electoral votes is 275 ; and the number necessary to elect 138. If, therefore, the figures of the above table are correct (and we take it from the Whig New York journals), Polk but re quires to carry one state of not less than seven votes, and there are four such, and he is elected. The Whig organs, generally, freely acknowledge the defeat of their party, and seek for its causes in what is desig nated " the naturalization of foreigners for the oc casion." Upon this subject the New York Weekly herald says— "Annexed will be found returns—not official, but sufficiently accurate for all practical purposes—from fifty-four counties, which give Mr. Polk a majority of 9,021, the remaining three counties having only given 3,732 for Harrison, in 1840. The most start ling defection to Clay has taken place in the abolition counties of the west. These have, probably, voted largely for Birney, although we have none of their re turns as yet; but that alone can account for the di minution of Clay's votes from Harrison's. Mr. Clay came to Cayuga-bridge with only about 7,000 majo rity, a very serious diminution from the vast popula rity of Harrison in 1840. The excitement last even ing throughout the city was of a most tremendous character. " Thus, the important question of the next Presi dency is settled at last, and, just as we have all along predicted, in the teeth of the politicians around us. New York city has determined the vote of the State, and the State settled that of the Union. If the Whigs could have formed a complete combination with the natives here, with even the existing vote of the aboli tionists at the west, they might have carried the State and elected Mr. Clay. But their policy, management, and managers, for the whole canvass, have been bad, intolerant, silly, and contemptible. It is the Whigs themselves who have destroyed Mr. Clay's chances, they have sacrificed by their intolerance and squabbles, and humbugs, the prospects of one of the noblest statesmen in the country, though some what defective in certain small points. Mr. Polk is undoubtedly a good man, and will make a good President, but he never can pretend to possess the personal talents or influence that Mr. Clay could. He will encounter mighty difficulties from the various cliques now forming to influence his action. We will have a Van Buren clique—a Class clique—a Tyler clique—a Calhoun clique—all striving to possess his confidence. exclusive of the others. He will be tor mented from this time forward, during the next four years, by office beggars and politicians. If he have the firmness to keep aloof and act on independent principles, he may have some peace and a little comfort. " Thus at last have the democracy had a mighty triumph—but their victory arises as much from the folly of their opponents as from their own merits and exertions." The latest accounts at Canada from New York give the following result of the elections : 40 Con servatives, 23 Radicals, and 9 doubtful. There are eighty-four members in all to be elected, and by the above, seventy-two are certainly chosen, giving the Governor-General a majority of at least eight, throwing the doubtful ones against him. Twelve more are to be returned. NEW YORK MONEY MARKET, Nov. 8. There was another very general decline in stocks to-day, undoubtedly produced by the result of the election in this State. Farmers'Loan fell off 2 per cent ; Illinois, 21; Indiana, 1i ; Pennsylvania Fives, ; Ohio Sixes, I; Stonington, 1i ; Norwich and Worcester, 1; Harlem. 1 ; Mohawk, 1 ; Canton, 2i ; Long Island, 1; Morris Canal, 1; Kentucky Sixes, United States Bank, and Erie Railroad closed firm at yesterday's prices. The sales were not very large, but the opinion among operators appear to he favourable to a further decline. Sterling Exchange for the steamship to-morrow is very firm at 101, and in several instances 10i was demanded. The inquiry is very limited, and it is probable that most of the operations will be made to-morrow. Since the departure of the Acadia, the New York Herald says there is quite a decline in the quotations for many of the State stocks, including some of those now regularly paying the interest on their public debt. Indiana, Illinois and Pennsylvania State stocks have fallen off very much, and a further decline in the market value of the stock of delinquent States, must be experienced. The election of Mr. Polk settles the policy of the administration of the ge neral government for the next four years, and the principle of distribution falls to the ground. The hope that many entertained of the success of Mr. Clay, on account of this principle alone must now be abandoned, and the creditors of the delinquent States, look to other sources for the payment of their bonds. Every State must now depend upon its own resources. Nothing can be expected from the gene ral Government to aid them in their financial diffi culties. We cannot at present see the slightest fa vourable indication in the movements of the repudiat ing States, calculated to afford the most trifling hope to those interested in the regular payment of the ac cruing interest on their large debts. So far as the State of Illinois is concerned, the whole negotiation about which so much has been said, and so much time and money consumed, is narrowed down to the decision of the Legislature of the State the coming winter. If a tax is levied, the bondholders of Europe advance the amount agreed upon, but if a tax is not levied, the whole concrn explodes, and the affairs of the State, so far as re gards her debt, fall back to their original position. The subscription to the proposed loan remains open in London until the Legislature decide the question. Some additions have been made to the subscriptions here, but not to an amount to affect the end desired. Indiana is beyond hope ; holders of stock of that State, in Europe, have em ployed Governor Davis, of M ass achusetts, to lobby for them through the approaching session of the Legislature, to obtain, if possible, some action in re lation to their demands. As for Pennsylvania, itis at present impossible to tell what may be the result of the course adopted by the last Legis lature to meet the interest punctually on the immense debt of the state. The sale of the public works is out of the question. It will be found im. SUMMARY OF NEWS AND publtt Optitton. " Who runs may read." POSIMION.

A letter from Naples, of the 25th of November, in Galignani, says .—" Tho famous volcano of the Valley of Solfatara, near Puzzoli, in the kingdom of Naples, of which the last eruption took place in 1198, but which sent up in 1807 quantities of boiling water, has been for some days exhibiting the last-mentioned phenomenon.

Wood, the Member for Southwark, has trans mitted the sum of 21/. for Father Mathew through Mr. O'Connell Father Mathew is now on his way to Boyle, county of Roscommon, to administer the temperance pledge. BEAUFORT—Fourt Lives LOST.—Another of those deplorable and lamentable occurrences which too fre quently accompany mining operations, and characterise the critical and dangerous position of those class of in dividuals, who labour to gain their daily bread in this section of national industry, happened at Beaufort Iron Works, in one of the mine quarries, or patches, on Tues day afternoon, by which the lives of four persons were sacrificed. The unfortunate party were at that time en gaged in pushing up the rubbish tram, for the purpose of clearing the remains of a " fall," when a piece of ground, from the strata, lying eight yards above, unex pectedly gave way, and fell directly on them, literally crushing nearly every bone in their bodies, and, in a moment, depriving them of life. A strict inquiry has been made, so as to ascertain whether this serious event was occasioned by any negligence on the part of the master watchman, and from which it appears there is not the slightest blame attributable to him, but that it has been the result of pure accident. The ground was ap parently safe, and there was not the slightest indication of danger. The names of the deceased are Isaac James, aged 18, Cecilia James, 18 (brother and sister), Charles Pensham, 21, and Margaret Davies, 18.—Monmouthshire BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, Nov. 22.—Buyers have not been so eager this week in their purchases, and the total quantity disposed of since our last report is unim portant ; very full prices have, however, been obtained, and importers are by no means anxious sellers. For rum there is rather more inquiry, and former rates have been paid for the purchases made.—Bristol Mercury. Several of our herring boats have arrived during the week from the North Foreland, after a successful season, one having made 430 L by the voyage, and most of them made from 200/. to 300/. They will soon pre pare for the mackerel season off Plymouth. Nothing has been done with the small boats at home. The weather hes been more favourable for trawl-fishing, and soles have been retailed at from 7d. to 11d. per lb.—Brighton Herald. FALMOUTH, Nov. 23. The Swift packet, Lieut. Douglas, arrived this after noon with the Brazil mails from Rio Janeiro direct, whence she sailed on the 13th ult. On freight about 10,0001. Passengers—Senhor Martinez Joabim and son. The Exchange had maintained itself firm at 25 till the beginning of October, when it advanced to 25k, which was the ruling rate to the date of the packet's sailing. Six per Cent. Stock had advanced to 722- and 73, and considerable sales had been effected at the latter quota tion. The shipment of coffee, from the Ist to the 12th October, amounted to 45,961 bags. At Rio Janeiro: her Majesty's ships Alfred, Crescent, Dolphin, and Racer ; American frigate Raritan, and French frigate Reine Blanche. It was reported at Rio Janeiro that the Go • vernment had determined on not entering into any treaty with Great Britain on terms differing from treaties con tracted with other nations. Advices had been received from the River Plate sta tions that the Riveristas had had the advantage in some little skirmishing between the troops on land, and two vessels belonging to Amiral Brown's squadron had been taken by the Monte Videans. Rio GRANDE.—The last accounts from Rio Grande left General Caixas virtually in possession of the coun try. The only chiefs who had not submitted to the Im perial Government were Canavaro, Joao Antonio, and Bento Gonsalves ; their whole body did not amount to above 1,000 men, which were without either discipline or a governor. The rebels were divided into small par ties, and when pressed by the Government troops fled to the Monte Videan frontier, and again re-entered the Rio Grande territory at some other point ; this s ki rm i s hi ng warfare kept General Caixas continually on the march. Ilis army amounted to 10,000 strong. The rebels were much reduced, and it was expected that a general sub mission to the Brazilian Government would shortly take place. SIR W. FOLLETT.—The Attorney-General, Sir W. W. Follett, is expected in England shortly from the Mediterranean. A Government steamer will be placed at the disposal of the learned gentleman to convey him to England or Marseilles. Sir William is decidedly better. -.The Cornwallis, 72, Captain Peter Richards, was paid off at this port to-day (Friday). The brutal and ungentlemanly conduct of the Commander (Wise), to the tradesmen who had occasion to visit the ship, is a subject of very general remark—such behaviour is, we are glad to say, an exception to the general character of the officers in the service, or the term British naval off cer and gentleman would cease to be synonymous.—Devon port Telegraph.. The London and St. Katharine Dock Companies have given the sum of 1001. each towards the fund now raising for building baths and washhouses for the la bouring classes in the metropolis. possible to obtain purchasers on the terms proposed. We have an evidence of this in the movements regarding the Delaware division, and a more favour able result cannot be expected with the main line.— Maryland may do much better with her creditors than any of the other delinquent states, but at present every thing is in doubt and uncertainty. So far as heard from the people were liquidating the demands of the tax collectors very rapidly. Very little change has taken place in the financial condition of solvent States. The public works of this State and of Ohio have been unusually productive this year, which, so far as the latter State is concerned, is of the most vital importance, and insures to her creditors the regular payment of their dividends.

Speaking of this the .New York Herald says :—" The decrease in the shipment to Canada has been pro duced by the abundant crops in England, and no de mand, ix consequence, coming from that quarter.

The present part, which is the tenth of this miscel lany, contains an infinite variety of information respecting medical matters, and suggests remedies for some of those maladies—such as consumption, for instance—which are most common among the inha bitants of this country. We also find in it occasional extracts from the lectures of the ablest surgeons and physicians of the day. PUNCH'S POCKET-BOOK. London, 1844. Our facetious and indefatigable friend Punch ex. hibits to great advantage in this, his most recent, pro duction, and has given us a pocket-book which abounds in all sOrts of grotesque drolleries. We have an infinite variety of sketches both in prose and verse; and, among other diverting extravaganzas, we find an article entitled " The Stranger's Guide to the Great Metropolis," in which, in a spirit of the gravest and most insidious irony, Punch, with that love of practical joking peculiar to him, gives the country visitor to London such directions, as if implicitly adhered to, cannot fail to procure him the high and enviable honour of a personal introduction to a police inspector at the station-house ! In addition to its humourous verse and prose sketches, this pocket-book contains much useful information such as, an an Almanac for the year, a list of the Members of the two houses of Legislature, Astronomical Notices, and particulars respecting the Taxes, and the Transfer Days of the Public Funds, &c. As a specimen of Punch's humourous rhymes, we quote his " Invective against Attorneys," with the spirit of which we cor• dially sympathise : Friends, neighbours, countrymen, I take The liberty to warn ye Against that universal scourge, A rascally Attorney. In ev'ry town you travel thro', The first thing you discern is A plate of brass, with letters large, Some " Rogue and Co., Attorneys." When debts and duns are plaguing one, The thought a constant thorn is, All others may be satisfied, But never the Attorneys. When lands are gone and body bare As any babe new-born is, The wretch may call his soul his own — His skin is his Attorney's. From good men's hate I'd screen the man Whose name my bitterest scorn is; To yield him to that deeper curse, The friendship of Attorneys. When dawn dispels the feverish dream, My first prayer in the morn is, Oh keep me from all evil things! But still more from Attorneys. And when, at night, I go to bed, It always my concern is, To finish with a bumper-toast, " Confusion to Attorneys." So I will lead a pious life, That, when to die my turn is, My soul may find a resting-place, Where there are no Attorneys. PROMISSORY NOTES.
