GLOBE.—The Standard of last evening . has a letter from Mr. Abel Heywood, a tradesman of Man chester, in which the most formal and circumstantial contradiction is given to the atrocious calumny first broached by Mr. Ferrand, and endorsed and propa gated by the Standard, that " one of their members (meaning the Anti-Corn-law League), at a private meeting of their body in Manchester, declared that he was prepared to subscribe to a fund for the purpose of procuring the assassination of Sir Robert Peel." Mr. Heywood gives the most ample proof of the utter groundlesness of the statement, in _a plain, unvarnished tale—" a fair and true version of the whole affair :—" r o TRAVELLERS IN THE TEA TRADE. A GENTLEMAN, possessing a first-rate talent as a SALESMAN, and whose Commission is with CASH BUYERS, may hear of a good COMMISSION, by giving particulars of his ground, and by whom last employed. .

REP)DRT of the DIRECTORS to the EIGHTH ANNUAL MEETING of the MEMBERS, held at the Office on the 15th of December, 1843. CHARLES LUSHINGTON, Esq., in the Chair. It is with feelings of no ordinary gratification that the Di rectors render to the Members of the NATIONAL PROVI DENT INSTITUTION, this, their Eighth Annual Report, of its proceedings. Each periodical review of the iirogress of the Institution has afforded abundant evidence of its growing prosperity, whilst the statement which the Directors are enabled to publish on the present occasion, exhibits a result far exceeding their most san guine expectations. Before proceeding to a summary of tin, business of the year just te rm i nated, the Directors would advert to the notice con tained in their last Report, that in accordance with the 28th Rule; the accounts of the Ins' itution were then under the inves tigation of an eminent Actuiry, for the purpose of making a c areful valuati on o f its existing liabilities and assets, in order to denlare a dividend out of the surplus which might from 'such valuation appear to exist. That investigation was completed in January last (by Charles Ansell, E-q., F. R. S., the Actu ary referred to), and the Directors have now to congratulate the Members of the Institution on the great success vi hich has attended its operations, by effecting a large reduction in the premiums payable, or by securing correspondingly large additions t o th e sums assured on Life Policies • notwithstand. ing ONE FIFTH of the actual profits declared to be divisible among the Members has been reserved,.and a reduction equal to 45 per cent. from the premiums of those Members who have been assured the full term of Seven Years, and at certain ages, has been secured to them. The number of Policies issued during the past year has been 70 3, nearly all of which are of that Class securing a sum of money payable at death. The number of proposals declined during the same period is 81. The annual income of the Institution, which was last year teported as being 39,360/. 9s. 7d., would have been increased tu the relatively larger sum of 47,934/. 4s. 3d. ; but of this ariOunt, 3,714/. Ned. has been allowed or deducted from the annual premium - of those Members who-hwee' elected to have l e r Premiums reduced in lien of the Bonus added to their bis The Accounts have been duly audited to the 20th November 16i i.t.t which date the Capital Stock of the Institution was th 713'91. 11. * being an increase of 27,2731. 9s. 7d. on th: scoummrmeipsosrited last yea r, and which amount is invested with in Real Seen Debt, and onrrs for the Reduction of the N ationa l the Rules of t h e r Institution.!a, conformably to the Acts of Parliament and Th • e claims dm' leg the past year on the lives of deceased Members amount to 7,600/., which sum has been paid, together witThhtehe Bonuses accrued thereon. Directors have also to inform the Members, that in ac cordance with the notice given in the last Report, the business of the Instituti on was removed to their Freehold premisesin the spring of this year ; of the eligibility of the situation and the nsotperr facilities the premises afford fur carrying on its . busi theltu t hey have already had satisfactory proof. That portion of building not occupied by the Institution is let to highly re slectable tenants, at a rental which leaves the rent-charge to theinstitution at an extremely moderate sum. From the preceding statements it will be obsered that the amou nt of busmess has been very much increased during the Peat year ; an i ncrease that may chiefly be attributed to the gmantages s ecure d to this Institution, by being enrolled under the Acts of P arl i ament relating to FRIENDLY SOCIETIES, as also to the growing disposition on the part of the public to effect Assurances in an Office where the surplus profit is di vided, not among Shareholders, but among the ASSURERS TH EMSELVES. To the PRINCIPLE of MUTUAL ASSURANCE, as Carried out by this Institution the Directors earnestly invite the att ent i on of the Members and the public at large, as also to investigate for themselves the relative claims for preference ,of the various Life Offices, and they rest confident that none will he found to combine greater advantages, or that can justly lay claim to a larger share of public confidence.

London, Jan. 1, 1844. JOSEPH MARSH, Secretary. PAST, the PRESENT, and the FUTURE. (A NEW YEAR'S ADDRESS.) The year has cles'd, with all its changeful scenes— And, lo! another era intervenes; The year has clos'd upon a busy world, And a fresh page of life has time unftu Pd. Tire chiming bells, with intermingling hum, Procl a i m aloud—" Another year is come ! The year is clos'd, and we embrace the time To greet the public with a votive rhyme. For while with exultation we review " The Past, the Present, and the Future," too, We feel a debt of gratitude is ow'd For valued favours plenteously bestow'd. Unbounded patronage has crown'd our trade, And w armest thanks will be best duly paid. Oft on his road the trav'ler glances back, To mark his progress o'er the beaten track : Thus we examine with observant eye The adva nces of another year gone by ; And glad we find, on looking at the past, Our glorious hopes have not b een overcas t: When l ast we hail'd the dawn of " New Year's Day," We talk'd of patronage in bright display. And have we now to tell of favours less "? No lwe triumph in increas'd success ; Success in all our trading plans is found, And like a halo does our name surround. Success attends us through the distant land, Nor here alone —but where the seas expand. Success in east and West, and north and south, Is loudly sounded with a trumpet's mouth. Success abundant we have seen appear Each day, each week, each month throughout the year ; Favours in seasons " past" our efforts bless, And the bright " present" yields success ! success ! Think not we use exaggerated terms— Fact, glorious fact, their utmost truth confirms. Language less strong could ne'er suffice to show The vast success that crowns our fam'd detot. Nay, stron g as are our statements, we confess They , are not equal to our proud success; And hence we have a duty to disehatge— A duty called for by the world at large ; Nor would we far an instant be remiss In executing such a task as this. With warm acknowledgements at once we thank All gen'rous patrons (whatsoe'er their rank). Thanks, many thanks ! warm, hearty, and sincere, For mighty favours in the by-gone year, For patronage by which we are display'd Upon the topmost pinnacle of trade ! Thanks for the spreading fame which thousands sing, And all that the returning seasons bring ! Nor will we make return in thanks alone, For patronage so liber a ll y s h own. When l ast we heard the New Year's bells resound, We promised much —nor have we left our ground; Each season new exertions have reveal'd To merit what a lib'ral public yield. Again we promise, as we promis'd then, Nor shall our practice contradict our pen, Though mighty effo r t s s i gnalised the " past " " present' year shall far excel the last, And " future" seasons to the world shall show MOur gratitude for wh a t your hands bestow. ark wht e promise e have much Aed off e r a to w the public l more and more. in store, lietwixt ourselves and patrons there shall be A mutual zeal —an equal rivalry Reductions and improvements shall be seen, Far more extensiv e th an h ave ever been; Nought shall be left—no stone shall be unturn'd, Wherein the public good may be concerned. Our celebrated Mart shall still display The choicest fashions for the rich and gay ; While such as move in less important scenes Shal evl ' find g oo d c l othing suited to their means. In ry point ourhonse sha through ou ll be diay'd The most astounding mart spl t the trade. Can we do more than this, our thanks to show, ()r give a reater comensation ? N. Till this b e p done, we ne'er shall be at o rest ; tut when we've done it, shall have done our best And with renewed exertion, such as this, A smiling public will not be remiss. We feel assured, that if we try to please Our g, n'rous patrOns with such acts as these. That 1 rood success will crown us more than ever, Anti happily reward for each endeavour And still with exultation we shall view past," th e "present ," and the " future," t oo ! And tow we T close with many wishkat all may realise " a happy a year."sincere, " happy year" may ev'ry reader see— Where er his h ome_whate'er his lot may be ! " A happy year" alike the young and old ! And when an o th er changeful year has roll'd, AOnee more with pl easure we ' ll resume our pen, E. _ad mak e our annual settlement again.

HOOD'S MCNTHLY MAGAZINE AND COMIC MISCELLANY. Whatever may be thought of Dr. Dickson's theory, that the type of Disease in general is periodical, ,here car. be no doubt of its applicability to Modern Literature, which is essentially , Periodical, whether the type'be long primer, brevier, or bour geois. It appear., moreover, by the rapid consumption of Monthlies, compared with the decline of the Annual', that fre. qnent fits of publication are more prevalent and popular than yearly paroxysms. Under these circumstances, no apology is necessary for the present undertaking; but Custom, which exacts an Overture to a new Opera, and a Prologue to a new Play, requires a few words of Intl-eel - action to a new Monthly Magazine. Oa eprosninent object, then, of the projected publication, as implied by the sub-title of " Comic Miscellany," will be the supply of harmless " Mirth for the Million," and light thoughts, to a Public sorely oppressed—if its word be worth a rush, or its complaints of an ounce weight—by hard times, heavy taxes, and those " eating cares" which attend on the securing of food for the day, as well as a provision for the future. For the relief of such afflicted classes, the Editor, assisted by able Humourists, will dispense a series of papers and woodcuts, which it is hoped will cheer the gloom of Willow Walk, and the loneliness of Wilderness Row—sweeten the bitterness of Camomile Street, and Wormwood Street—smooth the ruffled temper of Cress Street, and enable even Crooked Lane to unbend itself. It is hardly necessary to promise that this end will be pursued with out raising a Maiden Blush, much less a Damask, in the nur sery grounds of modesty—or trespassing, by wanton person-- alities, on the parks and lawns of Private Life. In a word, it will aim at being merry and wise, instead of merry and inerwise. For the Sedate, there will be papers of a becoming gravity ; and the lover of Poetry will be supplied with numbers in each Number. As to Politics, the reader of HOOD'S MAGAZINE will vainly search in its pages for a Panacea for Agricultural Dis tress, or a Grand Catholicon for Irish Agitation ; he will use lessly seek to know whether we ought to depend for our bread on foreign farmers, er merely on foreign sea-fowl ;or if the Repeal of the Union would produce low rents, and only three quarter days. Neither must he hope to learn the proper Ter minus of 'Reform, nor) even whether a Finality Man means Campbell's Last Man, or an Undertaker. A total abstinence from such stimulating topics and fer mented questions is, indeed, insured by the established charac ter of the Editor, and his notorious aversion to party spirit. To borrow his own words, from a letter to the Proprietors—" I am no politician, and far from instructed on those topics which, to parody a common phrase, no gentleman's newspaper should be without. Thus, for any knowledge of mine, the Irish Pro secutions may be for pirating the Irish Melodies ; the Pennsyl vanians may have repudiated their wives; Duff Green may be a place, like Goose Green ; Prince Polignac a dahlia or a car nation, and the Due de Bordeaux a tulip. The Spanish affairs I could never master, even with a Pronouncing Dictionary at my elbow ; it would puzzle me to say whether Queen Isabella's majority is er is not equal to Sir Robert Peel's; or if the shelling the Barcelonese was done with bombs and mortars, or the nutcrackers. Prim may be a quaker, and the whole Civil War about the Seville Oranges. Nay, even on domestic matters 'parer home, my profound political ignorance leaves me in doubt on questions concerning which the newsmen's boys and printers' devils have formed very decided opinions ; for example, whether the Corn law League ought to extend beyond three miles from Mark lane—or the Sliding Scale should regulate the charges at the Glaciarium ; what share the Welch Whigs have had in the Welch Riots, and how far the Ryots in India were excited by the slaughter of the Brahmin Bull. On all such public sub iects I am less au fait than that Publicist the Potboy, at the public-house, with the insolvent sign, The Hog in the Pound." Polemics will be excluded with the same rigour; and e.pe eially Trastarian Salim. The reader or HOOD'S MAGAZINE must not hope, therefore, to he told whether an old Protestant Church ought to be plastered with Roman Cement ; or, if a design for a new one should be washed in with Newman's colours. And most egregiously will he be dis appointed should he look for Controversial Theology in our Poet's Corner. He might as well expect to see Queens of Sheba, and divided babies from wearing Solomon's Spectacles ! For the rest, a critical eye will be kept on our current Lite rature—a regretful one on the Drama, and a kind one for the Fine Arts, from whose Artesian Well there will be an occa sional drawing. Wi h this brief, explanatory Announcement, HOOD'S MAGAZINE and COMIC MISCELLANY is left to re commend itself by its own merits to those enlightened judges, the Reviewers; and to that impartial jury—too vast to pack in any case—the British Public. *,,* Office, No. 1, Adam-street, Adelphi, where all Orders, Advertisements, and Communications for the Editor, are re quested to be addressed.

From Mr. J. SMITH, Glasgow. GENTLEMEN, —I have been troubled for years with a dreadful palpitation of the heart, accompanied with great nervousness and debility, for which I have tried everything you could mention, all to no purpose, till I heard of PARR's wonderfnl LIFE PILLS, and a friend of mine desired me to try them, which I did. I bought them of Mr. Nelson, and I am happy to say that a box of them has completely restored me. " If this will do anything to help your efforts you can make use of it. " I remain yours, respectfully, " JAMES SMITH." From Mr. HENRY /It RBER, Druggist, Knutsford. " To the Proprietors of Parr's Life Pills. " GENTLEMEN ,--I forward you a case below, which Mr. T. CASH wishes to have published ; he speaks wonderfully of PARR'S PILLS, and feels assured they have been the means of saving his life. We have also additional testimonials from respectable farmers In this neighbourhood. " DEAR Sra,—l have been for the last two years dreadfully afflicted with a cough and pain in the chest, so that I could scarcely eat the least portion of food without causing great pain in my chest, and shortness of breath, with a violent 'cough, not being able to lie down for nine months; having had the advice of several medical men, without deriving any benefit, I was advised by a friend to try PARR'S PILLS, but having tried so many patent medicines, I thought I might as well throw my money away, ,._ began to think no th ing would cure ;r as fast wa 's - ting away with a violent pain in my head; at last my friend got me a box from your shop, and advised me to try them, so I tried their), being so strongly recommended, according to the direction, and before I had taken one box, I found so much relief that I tried another, and am now happy to say I am as well as ever I was In my life, and shall always have a few doses by me, for they are wonderful. (Signed) " THOMAS CASH. Witness—John Thorpe." " Mr. PARRY has been afflicted with sore eyes for twelve years, and has tried everything he could hear of without the least oenefit, but since taking two boxes of PARR'S PIL NS, his eyes are quite well, and have been for some time. " Mrs. SMITH has been troubled with a pain in her head for many years, has had the most respectable medical advice, without receiving any benefit ; is quite recovered since she has taken three boxes of PARR'S PILLS, which are worth a sovereign a box t• persons troubled with a sick head-ache; I shall always have a supply by me. " These cases I have selected from a number of others, and can rely upon them as being correct. I shall feel great pleasure in giving every information to any person who may favour me with acalt. " I am, Gentlemen, your obedient servant, " Knutsford, June 30, 1842." " HENRY BARBER, Druggist." From Mr. J. L. L. WOODWARD, Chemist, Bridgewater. " GENTLEMEN,—If the enclosed letter is of service, you are at full liberty to publish it, the man seems rather to wish for the publication of his case. " I am, Gentlemen, yours obediently, "J. L. WOODWARD, Chemist, "To the Proprietors of Parr's Life Pills. " GENTLEMEN,—The benefit I have received by the use of OLD PARR'S I'ILLS, induces me, out of gratitude to the Proprietors, and a wish to be of use to the whole world, to add another testi monial to the numbers you have already received. For the last two years I have been labouring under a complication of disorders in my head and stomach. I think I may venture to say I have not had an hour's cessation of pain during the time. My sense of smelling was entirely gone, and the most agreeable perfume or the most intolerant stench were equally indifferent to me. I have had the advice of several surgeons and medical men, both in this town and others, but without the least benefit, and I bad dispaired of ever again regaining my health, in fact my life was becoming burdensome to me, until I fortunately heard of the many cures which your valuable Pills had effected. I purchased a box of Mr. Woodward, druggist, and before I had taken the whole I was completely cured, and have never experienced the slightest symptoms of its return. I have recommended them, and shall do so, as I feel I cannot do sufficient for the benefit I have received.—l am, Gentlemen, your obliged and grateiul servant, " HENRY NASH. "Bridgewater, June 13, 1842." From Mr. GEORGE WILLIAMS, Stourport. "To the Proprietors of Parr's Life Pills. " GENTLEMEN;--Whell I was appointed your agent for the sale of PARR'S PILLS, I did not anticipate a large sate for them, there being so many kinds of Pills already before the public; but I am happy to inform you that 1 have sold nearly 1,000 boxes, and require a fresh supply. Numerous are the cases of relief being afforded in rheumatic, asthmatic, and liver complaints, sick head. ache, coughs, colds, and diseases of the stomach and digestive organs, by taking these pills.

She had consulted the first medical men in the metropolis, but got no relief. She is now, however, by the use of these wonderful pills, restored to as high a state of health as she ever enjoyed. These pills should be taken by all persons of sedentary habits, or whose constitutions have been impaired by foreign climates, or the baneful use of calomel. Sold at Professor Holloway's establish ment, 244, Strand (where advice may bi had gratis), and by almost all respectable medicine vendors through out the civilized world. THE WEATHER IN THE NORTH.--Our Christmas this year has been accompanied by extraordinary mild ness of weather. The country continues to wear the spring-like appearance we formerly noticed. Flowers are in bloom in many gardens, and a fire is felt to be almost oppressive in a small parlour. All agri cultural operations are, of course, advanced, and the young wheats promise well. As respects markets, we have little to say. The prices of corn, meal, and provisions here, remain much the same as they have been for two or three months, with the exception of a slight advance on some choice parcels of grain. As a proof of the mildness of the season, it is mentioned that apple trees at Grant Lodge are in full blossom. A fine lamb, seven weeks old, and weighing about six pounds per quarter, was killed, on the 21st, at Elgin, reared on a farm occupied by Mr. Lawson, banker. In Ross-shire, the sowing of winter wheat is completed, and the frosts have been few and slight.—lnverness Courier. INCENDIARISM.—On Tuesday morning, about three o'clock, it was discovered that a barn filled with valuable grain was on fire, belonging to Mr. Slack, relieving officer of the poor-law union, at Bishop's Cicero, which there can be no doubt was the work of an incendiary. On the alarm being given, the engine of the Phoenix Company, under the direction of Mr. Goodchild, started with the utmost promptitude; the town engine followed immediately after, whilst the parish engine of Cleeve had previously been brought to play on the burning mass. The stillness of the night aided in confining the flames to the barn, which was entirely destroyed. About twelve months since a haystack belonging to Mr. Slack was burnt in the same manner.—Cheltotham Examiner. " On their return, a public meeting, convened by ad iertisement, was called and held in the large room at the Corn Exchange Inn, to receive their report. At that meeting, and nut at a private one, I deplored the alarm ing discontent which existed, not only amongst the working classes, 'who were suffering very severely, but amongst a class of men (shopkeepers) who, upon all occasions, had been ready to lend their assistance to the authorities in the preservation of peace and order. "To illustrate and explain more positively what 1 meant, I stated, that upon asking a shopkeeper for a donation towards the expenses of the deputation to Lon ,don, he replied, that he would not object to subscribe to a fund for the purpose of shooting Sir Robert Peel." When we apply the term " formal" to this contra diction of the calumny alluded to, it will be seen that the phrase is inadequate to express the absolute demo lition of Mr. Ferrand's fabrication, which it effects. The writer of the letter is the very individual to whom the expression, so ingeniously perverted to th e pur poses of falsehood, was addressed. It was by him re peated, not at a private meeting, but at "a public meeting (of the League) convened by advertisement." Mr. Heywood co n cl u d es hi s letter in the Standard with these words :—" This, Sir, is a plain statement of the case ; and was no more connected with the League'. than you are." No one not abolutely blinded by private fury and a wish for revenge, ever do - übted for a moment but that Mr. Ferrand's story— supported and vouched for though it was by the Standard -j-would turn out to be 'a mean and . despicable invention—the product of an imagination over which truth exercises no control, and shame fails to restrain from the indulgence •of the most' unscrupulous ex cesses. It too seldom happens, however, thfit the means of vindicating the reputation of Maligned parties are so promptly afforded as in the present instance. Mr. Heywood% letter leaves no room for the most ingenious malice to suggest a doubt upon the subject. The Premier-assassination story of Mr. Ferrand and the Standard is thereby proved to be an entire falsehood. It may now be asked, not what will these worthies, this par nobile, think, of them selves—they have long since ceased to feel as ordi narily constituted minds would feel under such cir cumstances--;-but what will every honest -Mind, no matter what its party predilections may be, think and say of them ? The Standard has, we admit, made some atonement by publishing Mr. Heywood's defter ; and has thus become the herald of its own shame. The reparation is, however, in harmony with the original offence. The calumny was blazoned forth with all the aids which conspicuous type; and pro minent position on the page, could effect :. the unwearied allusions to, and • comments upon, . the all o wed assassination plot, were displayed with equal pc p of print, that they might attract the eye, and impress the mind with due horror for the in - cipient assassins. The letter which confutes the cherished lie is printed in very small type, and. thrust into an obscure corner. But this is Standard mo rality !—another practical exemplificati on t of , those claims to superior honour and conscience in the con duct of a public journal, which the Standard is wont to put forth, with characteristic modesty, in its own behalf! What atone:lit-1A Mt.: - Ferrand will nialCe re mains to be seen. Unless he can disprove the facts, or rail away the effect of Mr. Heywood's letter — neither of which is likely to be achieved, even by his proverbial ingenuity and courageous use of the powers of speech—his future efforts in furtherance - of the cause to which he has devoted his appropriate mental, moral, and physical faculties, will be worse than use less. He must be content to lie under the imputation of being what every honourable mind will deem him to be, but which it would disfigure our columns, without a periphrasis, to describe. STANDARD.—Mr. Abel Heywood, whose letter to the Times appeared in yesterday's, Standard,is hot an accurate reasoner. Mr. Ferrand had stated, in a letter to the Times, that a certain atrocious proposi tion was made at a private meeting of " the League " at Manchester. No, says Mr. Abel Heywood, the atrocious proposition in question was not made at the private meeting of the League, but reported by me at another meeting—not a meeting of the League, co nomine, though doubtless composed of Leaguers: Now, every one must see that there is no contradiction here ; that the witnesses depose to totally differC.nt transactions, and that both may therefore tell the truth, as we very confidently believe they : do. Mr. lleywood heard the proposition in one plane, Mr. Ferrand's informant in a second, the Rev. Mr. Bailey heard it in a third; and the Members of the House of Commons, we may add, heard something very like it hinted at from / the lips of the great Leaguer himself. Upon a view of the whole matter, indeed, Mr. Abel Heywood's statement confirms instead of contradicting the statements of Mr. Fer• rand ;• for Mr. Heywood testifies that what they re ferred to was talked about by, the, persons whose connexion with the League it is impossible -to doubt, though at the time they did not, perhaps, sit as, Leaguers; the Rev. Mr. Bailey tells a similar story_ with reference to what was, we suppose, a bona fide Leaguers' meeting. The great Leaguer launches his menace in the House of Commons, • evi dently pointed in the same direction—proofs that the minds of the Leaguers were filled with the project, and proof, therefore, of the great probability that Mr. Ferrand's informant told nothing but the truth. There is no jury', we think, which, satisfied of the separate and distinct declarations of the same purpose of a conspiracy, made by different members of the conspiracy at different times and places, would hesitate to believe an unimpeached witness, testifying to a fourth declaration of a conspirator to the same effect, and more particularly after the purpose had been (in the attempt) cruelly realised. A thousand witnesses like Mr. Heywood will, by their multiplied evidence, only prove the extent to which the execrable feeling of which Mr. Drummond was the victim pervaded the bOdy of the conspirators. It is much, indeed,' to be wished that more such witnesses as Mr. Abel Hey wood may present themselves; perhaps some of them may enlighten the public as to the party.i)y whom M`Naghten was prompted. Let us not be misunder stood ; we have a very bad opinion of every Leaguer without exception, because we see them all embarked in a conspiracy which deals out nothing but lies, slander, and sedition, and tries to take in as much money as it can get, and which is therefore a treason able or a swindling confederation, or both ; but with all this, very bad opinion of the Leaguers, we are from saying that every Leaguer is an assassin—strong as are the testimonies that many Leaguers have sug gested assassination. Some Leaguers are merely greedy oppressors of the poor, some mere harmless swindlers, and some few, perhaps, simple block heads ; but though we are far from saying that all Leaguers are assassins, it is, perhaps, not too much to infer, from the evidence before us, that all who have a hankering after assassination are either Leaguers, or likely, to become Leaguers. Since the time of the late Mr. Ings, one of the parties who par ticipated in Mr. Thistlewood's " misfortune;" they call it in Ireland—from the time of Mr. Ings, who waxed the handle of his knife that he might operate more steadily in cutting a Minister's throat, nobody has talked of summarily disposing of his fellow-creatures in the same cool and business-like tone as the Leaguers. These men made their proposition with the easy freedom from reserve which men employ in proposing matters of course, and proposing matters, for the proposition of which they fear no rebuke, and in effect they appear to have met with no rebuke. From all we know, either the project offered was prosecuted, or, if laid aside, laid aside solely on the ground of. expediency. No one seems to have thought assassination, abstract edly, wrong. • SALE OF A WIFE.—On Saturday last a brute in human shape, from West Hallam, named Hart, sold his ife in Nottingham market-place for ls., to a fellow named Smith, with whom the woman had been living for several years. A rope was tied round the woman's waist, and, on the bargain being completed and the money paid, it was given to the purchaser, who carried off his prize. All parties seemed satisfied.—.Nuttinyh«m Journal. The Dublin Evening Past jaz , tly remarks :—" Whilst the Government, in Lord Eliot's circular, are denouncing the practice of opposing applicants on religious or politi cal grounds, the polico force, under the orders -of the Orange magistracy, are practically and effectually neu tralising the directions of the executive." The Cork Examiner thus rep rts progress from the East Riding of that county : "Notwithstanding the indignant expression of public opinion, as ivell as the severe animadversions- of the pub lic press of' all parties, at the conduct practised by the Solons' of the West Riding, assembled at quarter ses sions at Macroom, a few days back, when they mcon stitutionally, if not illegally, denied the privilege of holding arias to free men on the plea of their being repeal wardens,' their brethren of the East Riding have not failed to follow up the worthy example set than as far as in them lay ; whether they are determined to go the 'whole hog' Hill be seen anon. It will be recol lected that prior to the Opening of the sessions for the West Riding,, a meeting of the magistrates oh' that Riding took place in Bandon, from which meeting the press was exe:uded. It is now a matter too notorious to be doubted that the object of that meeting was to disarm one portion of the peaceable public, with what view it is not necessary to say ; but that such was the object of the meeting, the conduct of the bench at Macroom, in a few days after, fully establishes. On Saturday last a meeting of the East magistrates took place in Fermoy, at which a reporter from this establishment attended. Mr. Ge rard Barry moved Captain Collis to the chair, which motion being seconded by Mr. i)enis O'Callaghan, and unanimously agreed to, the chair was taker: by that gen tleman. The Chairman, on takin g his seat, observed that there were reporters in attendance, and as he un derstood that the meeting was to be a private one, he should request of them to withdraw while the meeting would discuss the propriety of their admission. The reporters then withdrew, and were followed in about five minutes:Al** the Clerk of Sessions, who announced to them that it was the unanimous decision of the meet ing that the press should not be admitted. So far have these gentlemen imitated the conduct of their brethren assembled at Bandon; it remains to be seen if they will go to the extreme and unconstitutional length to which the Macroom bench go when thvy assemble at quarter sessionv." MURDER IN THE COUNTY OF CORK.—We regret to state that a fearful murder was committed in the neigh bourhood of Cloyne, back of the Deer Park, Castle Mary. The unfortunate victim was a young girl named Fitzgerald, a servant in the employ of an officer residing in the vicinity of Cork, and she was returning to her friends in Cloyne, to spend tke Christmas holidays with them, when she was met by some men, who, it is sup posed, murdered her ; for she was found dead on the road, her face disfigured, most of her clothes taken off; and with marks of violence on other parts of her person. An inquest was held at Cloyne on Monday, but we have nct heard the result.--Cork Examinei% MURDER IN TIPPERARY. • The following account of the last murder in Tipperary is from a correspondent of the Packet:— " Borrisokane, Dec. 27, 1843. " It is my painful task to inform you of another dreadful murder perpetrated at Finnoe. Yesterday even ing, as John Ardill. a poor Protestant man, was return ing from his work at Rodeen House, when crossing a field within a hundred yards of his own dwelling, he was attacked by a number of men (unknown for the present), and his skull smashed by blows of some blunt instrument. Ile was one of the best-conducted men of the parish, and has left a wife and six orphan daughters, who have nothing but beggary and starvation-now before them. I offer no comment on this state of things, but merely relate the fact as it occurred, to prevent any misstate ments that might be made, as I was almost an eye-wit ness to the transaction, which took place at half-past seven o'clock in the evening, within five minutes' walk of the glebe house ; and I was on the ground in ten minutes after the murder was• Committed. If some prompt, vigorous, and active measures are not speedily adopted, there will not be a Protestant left in this district." URINARY OBSTRUCTIONS.

STATE OF TRADE. The genera! condition of business is satisfactory, and if restricted during the past week, it may be fairly attributed to the many internal engagements which merchants and dealers find to withdraw their attention at the close of the year from business out of doors. The accounts from India are not considered of that favourable character that we could have wished; there is, indeed, no cause for actual discouragement, but it is evident that shipments from England more than keep pace with the demands of the Indian population, and stocks of British goods were consequently accumulating. The English manu facturers must, therefore, tease to extend their opera tions as they have done latterly, or it is absolutely necessary that new markets shduld be opened to take off their productions ; for amongst the English e4;looies there can Le none more capable of having their commerce extended, and 'their consumption—of cotton goods especially—increased, than the thickly peopled districts of India. One gratifying fact is established by those accounts, and that is, the cer tainty of an immense production, and consequent low price ind;go. This i 4 an important matter, and cannot fail to be of great advantage to the manufac turing interest, especially in the woollen districts. From America we have no news of importance. The President's Message is looked upon with seem ing indifference. As usual, it says but little that can influence commerce, and no mention whatever is made of the repudiation of state debts ; and this omis sion is causing increased clamour and dissatisfaction amongst - English creditors. There has been a lively demand for cotton, at very full, and, in some cases, rather better prices, specu lators continuing to support the market, whilst the import at present is so light that the wants of the; trade are thrown altogether on the old stock, of which a considerable portion is in the hands of different speculators, many of whom are now realising large profits on purchases made three or four months ago. —Liverpool Mercury.

WILL OF THE LATE SIR MATTHEW WOOD, BART., M.P.—Shortly after the death of Sir Matthew Wood a statement purporting to be the particulars of his will met with general circulation ; but the details presented so anomalous an appeeranee that in Gloucester, at least, in the neighbourhood in which he died, the opinion pre vailed that there must be some mistake, the apportion ments not being in keeping with the character of the deceased, or with the good terms on which he stood with every member of his family. For example, five hundred pounds a year was said to be the allowance of Lady Wood, a sum by no means in keeping with what followed about the carriages, horses, Sm, having been bequeathed to her Ladyship also. Neither was there any mention made of the manner in which Sir Matthew's large amount of personal property was to be divided. The following is a correct statement of the provisions contained in the will of the deceased, and' its publication is due to his memory :—To Lady Wood he bequeaths an annuity of 1,5001., with the carnages, horses, plate, furniture, wines, and pictu res ; 20,000/. he directs to be invested, and the yearly revenue to be tit• i e n r d ear few o f hlegacies e r a t r y e , Cached to the he baronetcydireet the nd rem a f a t provided for, real and personal, to be equally divided amongst Ins five children. - !1 -L^ ! ./i~ - No. 16,022.
