The field con sisted of some of the neighbouring yeomen, and two or three of the officers of the Life Guards. SIGHT AND HEARING TESTIMONIALS, 39, ALM-.

DUBLIN, Nov. 6.—Chief Justice Pennefather was again absent from the Court of Queen's Bench this day, and it is stated there is yet no improvement in his health. CITY OF DUBLIN REGISTRY. The Tories are again in a minority, notwithstanding all their struggles to raise a stock purse, and to induce the discontented Orangemen to co-operate with the place hunters at the Registry Court. no following is the result of the city of D.iblin registry yesterday : Liberals admitted, 15 ; Tories, 11. Three Liberal claim ants stand over, and one was admitted . from the previous day, which makes the Liberal majority, yesterday, five. Thus the Liberals, who had gained so extensively at the rect,nt registry sessions, are still adding to their majority. MURDER OF ARTHUR GLOSTER, ESQ. Another appalling murder has been committed, the victim being a landlord who had taken legal steps for the eviction of some of his tenants. The scene of this murder is the county of Clare, which, for several years past, has been remarkably . free from agrarian crime. The Limerick Reporter , received this morning, contains the following account f this dreadful outrage : We regret to have to record the death of Arthur Gloster, Esq., of Moylish, yesterday (Monday) evening, by the hand of the assassin, instigated, it is supposed, to the appalling and direful act by the wild justice of re venge. Mr. Gloster, a few years ago, purchased, under the courts, an estate at Toonagh, between Kilkesban and Spancahill, in the county of Clare, for which he paid from ten to twelve thousand pounds. The tenants on the lands have been' for several years in possession ; and report goes to say, that deceased- had notices served on some of them, with, large families, whether for non payment of rent we have not been informed, and had proceeded there yesterday, preparatory to eviction, and was to have gone to-day also for the same purposes. But on..hiereturn home last, evening, between four and five o'clock, at a short distance froth Kilkeshan he was shot dead in his gig. This is an appalling state of things, and calls loudly upon the Legislature for the enactment of some measure to interpose between landlords and tenants in this country. Mr. Gloster was unmarried, and was considered wealthy." LANDLORD AND TENANT COMMISSION. ..... . _ A recent letter of Mr. Edward Pennefather (son of Baron Pennefather), to the Secretary of the Land Commission, stated his refusal to return to the office of the Commission, without publicity, cer tain statements given in evidence before the Com missioners by the Reverend John Mackey, a Roman Catholic clergyman, respecting Mr. Pennefather,s estate. Upon . this proceeding, and the general conduct of the Commissioners in regard to privileged communica tions made to them by tenants examined as witnesses, the Tipperary Vindicator has the following remarks : " The Land Commission is not only a mockery and a delusion, but a snare. In the confidence of honourable secrecy, the people, or the friends of the people, cora initte&facts to its ceeping, which it now appears, have been revealed, with the names of those who gave them, to the parties to whom they bore particular refer ence. The announcement made in the Secretary's letter to the Cork land agents, that the Commissioners sub mitted all complaints to the persons complained of, in order that explanation should be given, was sufficient exposition of the principles by which Lord Devon and his fellow-labourers were actuated in their hurried pere grinations through Ireland. But no one could have supposed that to deceit would have been added treachery, and that the names of individuals who had the humanity to speak of the land system as it is, would be handed over to those who' have an interest in protecting that system from an imperative reform. Such, however, is the fact. Not only has the evidence given in reference to the relations between the landlord and tenant been. laid before the landlord, but the name of the witness who contributed that evidence has been likewise aban doned to the discretion of the latter. That such a prac tice is calculated to do more harm than good ; to in crease rather than to remove the difficutties of the land lord's and tenant's respective positions, and to make the one an object of hatred and jealousy to the other, is, we think, perfectly obvious. These observations are sug gested by a letter of Mr. Edward Pennefather to the secretary. Whatever may be thought of the conduct of the Commissioners, we think that Mr. Edward Penne father cannot be condemned for acquainting the public, even at the eleventh hour, with the manmuvres of those personages ; and though the Rev. Mr. Mackey stated nothing in confidence that he is not prepared to avow publicly, yet, what has been done with respect to him has, of course, been done in reference to many who can far less afford to speak boldly the accents of undisguised truth than that respected clergyman." THE FEDERAL MOVEMENT. The Northern Whig of yesterday contains the fol lowing:—" As some contemporaries, at a distance, have been asking about a federal meeting said to have bean held in Belfast, we deem it right to state that, on the 26th ult., the Hon. H. Caulfield, Mr. Sharman Crawford, and one or two others, met at the Royal Hotel in this town, and drew up a form of federal 6claration, which has, we understand, been sent to Dublin for the con sideration of the federalists there. The meeting was private, and for that reason, as also because we really did not take much interest in it, we omitted noticing it, at the same time thinking it better to await the publica tion of the declaration, should that take place." COURT OF CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.)—Mr. Joseph Napier, and Mr. Richard Nunn, assistant-barrister of the county Tyrone, were this day called to the inner bar, and took their seats accordingly. The absence of these gentlemen on the first day of term—the former in England and the latter being engaged in the discharge of his judicial duties—prevented their being called along with the other newly-appointed Queen's counsel. T. M. RAY, ESQ.—The Secretary of the Repeal As • sociation arrived in Limerick this day (Tuesday) from Derrynane Abbey, where he had been for the past month on a visit with the Liberator recruiting his health after his incarceration. Mr. Ray leaves for Dublin to-morrow morning, to resume his efficient services at the Associa tion.—Limerick Reporter of Tuesday. THE LIMERICK BOARD OF GUARDIANS AND THE COMMISSIONERS.—It will be seen that the despots of Somerset-house have brought the Limerick and Rath kealo guardians into the Court of Queen's Bench. We have reason to know that the whole business will be brought before Parliament in the ensuing session. Even should the decision of the Queen's Bench be adverse, they can only be compelled to attend ; but how will ttrby be forced to discharge the business of the board ? We have learned that yesterday (Monday) the Limerick board of guardians held a full meeting, the Earl of Clare in the chair, when it was unanimously resolved to fight the Commissioners while there was an inch of ground to stand on. We understand that the opinion of counsel has been obtained, and is most decisive in favour of the guardians.—Limerick Reporter. THE LATE STORM. TIPPERARY.--The floods caused by the late rains have inflicted considerable damage, particularly in the moun tainous districts. In the neighbourhood of Shalee, and along the Keeper range, the roads are in a deplorable condition—the bridges on the upper and lower roads towards Newport and Limerick are swept away, and much inconvenience is felt by the population of that dis trict.— Tipperary Vindicator. KILKENNY.—We could not, within any reasonable space, detail a tithe of the disasters occasioned to the poorer inhabitants of this city by the flood on Friday night, which was not paralleled since that of 1763. Up wards of five hundred persons were doomed to all the inconvenience arising from having their places of resi dence flooded from five to ten feet depth of water ; and their furniture so drenched and otherwise injured that it was hardly worth while to make any . attempt to save it from the torrent. Persons residing in the Horse Bar rack, Water Barrack, and Black Mill-streets, were the principal sufferers. In one of these localities, the rooms of Mr. Grace, publican, presented a strange scene. Kegs, bottles, and decanters, floated about. In the house of a man named Cody, the water reached the upper apartments, and the occupants, as we are credibly in formed, were standing on the tables to escape the stream. The exertions of Constable James Campbell to save poor Cody's family were beyond praise. He was aided in his benevolent efforts by Mr. Murphy, of Irishtown. We have not room to detail the " hair breadth 'stapes" of these two adventurers on a floating raft. After taking two boys from the window of Cody's house, by means of a pole, one of them, from fear of the raft sinking, clung to the pole, and was pulled back—the other was left on the raft, which sunk, and owed his life to the conjoint efforts of the constable and Murphy, both of whom could swim. The danger to the experimenters may be judged of when we state, that in some places there were from 10 to 14 feet of water. Constable Campbell was drifted into an adjacent brewery, and gave himself up as lost, till he found an opening at top, which led to a loft, and ultimately he made his way to the top. of Mr. Grace's house, and after sustaining severe suffer ing and trial, was again seen on terra firma. We know not in what terms to speak of our excellent Mayor, who was seen in every quarter where suffering was expe rienced. Such folks generally superintend, but do not act. The Mayor, on the contrary, not only superintended, but acted ; and when constable Campbell, in his dangerous position, lost the pole, and was dislodged from the floating raft, the Mayor was the first to come to his aid, and was seen more thart once with little more than his head over the water. On the morning after the flood, when the poor creatures were fireless and foodless, the Mayor's goodness and consideration were at hand. His Worship supplied loads of culm, and bread and milk, to relieve the victims of sudden and unforeseen calamity. Straw was also supplied by the same munificent hand ; and on Sunday Mrs. Smithwick ordered three cwt. of beef, had soup made of it, and administered it with bread to the victims of temporary destitution ; and in very many cases Mr. Smithwick gave money, when the supply of food was in any way deficient. The sufferers from the flood are many, and their case one which commands the sympathies of all. In John-street, and other parts of the city, there were sad scenes of suffering and con fusion. In Freshford, and many . parts of the county, numbers of poor families have sustained what to them are serious losses. —Kilkenny. Journal LIMERICK QUARTER SESSIONS, MONDAY.---RIOT ABOUT LAND.—Michael Crowe, and twenty- one others, were in dicted for a riot and violent assault on several persons. at Cluggan, in this county. The appearance of such a number of prisoners in the dock together was rather un usual. It appears that there was a dispute about land between the Crowes and the Dwyers, and that the sheriff zave possession to the widow Ryan, under an haler e. The Crowes, with a large party, came afterwards to take forcible possession, and hence the riot and assault. Eight of the female prisoners and four of the male were ac quitted ; and the remainder were found guilty of the riot. The Court sentenced them according to their de grees of guilt, to twelve, three, and six months' irnpri sonment. The reading of the issue-paper caused a good deal of merriment, for it was something like a monster indictment. The jury remained in a very long time, and the foreman had to sign his name 154 times !—Limerick Reporter. MUNSTER DINNER TO MR. O'CONNELL—We are delighted to know that the banquet to the Liberator pro mises to be one of the most magnificent and stirring-dis plays made for many years in the South of Ireland. Pre parations are making in the various towns of the South to send deputations to represent them at this auspicious gathering. All regard the coming banquet with unpa ralleled interest and importance. It is certain that a definite and a definitive course of action will be pro pounded and adopted.—Tipperarp Vindicator. BIRTHS EXTRAORDINARY.—The wife of Wm. Faulk ner, a farmer in the townland of Drting, parish of Mo. yille, of twins—a daughter and son. The former was born on the Ist of October last, and the latter on the 2d instant, making between them a difference of 33 days, during which time, from the 4th ult., until the morning of the 2d instant, she had good health, and attended to the general housewifery. The mother and children are doing well. —Londonderry Journal. SCOTCHAIIITN - ICIPAL'IELECTIONS" EDINDURGH.—The municipal elections for this city took place on Tuesday, but there being at present no subject of general or local interest under discussion calculated to divide public opinion, the occasion passed over in comparative quiet. There were, never theless, pretty keen contests in three of the wards, but, turning as they did on points of personal pre ference rather than on politics, the interest was chiefly confined to the parties more immediately con cerned. The council will now consist of twenty seven Liberals and six Tories. As Churchmen and Dissenters, the numbers will probably stand thus : Dissenters, 24 ; Churchmen, 9. LErrn.—The elections went off very quietly, there being contests in only two wards, and these not upon political grounds. The Candidates were all Liberals. GLASGOW.—The elections have terminated in the return of ten Liberals, not a single Conservative having ventured to come forward. This absence or any attempt at opposition is seemingly owing to the lukewarmness of. the Conservatives, consequent on their mistrust of Sir R. Peel's policy. Party-spirit, however, has very much abated in this quarter of late from various causes, and the polling which took place to-day excited little of the interest which usually accompanies a contested election. SIEGE OPERATIONS AT CllATRAM.—Yesterday terminated the siege operations carried on for the last fortnight on the field-works practice ground, on the left of Chatham lines. The day being tolerably fine, drew together a vast number of respectable persons. Captain Whitmore, Royal Engineers, directed the defensive, and Captain Wynne, the offensive operations. A detach ment of the I I th, consisting of the Grenadier Company, under the command of Captain Jenner, took up their p ,sition on the left face of the ravelin, and being the defenders of the fortress, were protected by a high bank; the other portion of the regiment, consistine. of Nos. 1, 2,3, and the Light Company, being the attackers, occu pied the first parallel, and on the sound of the bugle being given to them for advance, the troops marched off, leaving the No. 1 Company as a reserve. The 2d and 341 Com pany took up their positions iu the second and third parallel. The Light Company, under Captain Moore, advancing, manned the lodgment and the right side of tke double sap. The troops on both sides opened a sharp and well-regulated:musketry-file firing, lasting several minutes, The bugle to cease firing having sounded, the atiacking troops retreated to the first parallel, - when Lieutenant Stokes, with corpgral Baker, Royal • Engineers, of the besieged party, instantly fired a mine of 1301 b. of gunpowder, making a crater of twenty ; feet by eighteen feet in circumference, and about two feet six inches in depth. The troops at the sound of the bugle made a rapid advance up the intrenched lines, and on arriving at the spot where the miners were busily crowning the entonnoir with gabions, opened a brisk fire on their opponents. The attacking miners at the same time were getting ready ‘vith all possible speed to spring three mines, for the purpose of destroying the counter mines of the enemy. The loading and tamping having been announced ready, the signal was again given for the troops to retire to their old position, to avoid danger. Captain Wynne, on the word fire being given, sprang his mines, the explosions following one another, and as the charges were not more than from nine to tkm feet &dm the surface of the earth, the explosions vverir most magnificent, forcing the earth and fragments of timber to the height of between 40 and 50 feet. The quantity of powder used in these mines was 5001 b., and each' ex plosion formed a crater averaging in direurnforenee'23ft. by 25ft., and a depth of about Eft. The moment after these explosions the troops were again brought up, who protected the miners crowning their entonnoirs by open- , ing a well-continued fire on the enemy's lodgments, which were occupied by the infantry, who kept firing as they advanced. The defenders of the fortress tired a conntermine by the voltaic battery, of a charge of 1001 b. of powder, producing an entonnoir of 15ft. by 161 t., which was very soon crowned by the advance of the miners, who were protected by the infantry's fire from the intrenched lines. The retreat was again sounded, ana the soldiers retired, and Lieutenant Carr fired a chitrge of 1501 b. of powder, causing :considerable shock to! the bystanders by the explosion. Very soon after wtOds Lieutenant Clarke fired a charge of 731 b. The defensive force then opened a sharp fire on the besiegers, who returned it gallantly, iwhen the operations finally cldsed (at four o'clock in the afternoon), having gone off to the entire satisfaction of every officer who had been engaged, particularly to the director, Lieut.-Colonel Sir Frederick Smith, K.II. 11IRS. TROLLOPE'S NEW NOVEL, " YOUNG LOVE." --!' Young Love!—a more fascinating title for a novel could not, by any possible chance, have been hit upon, nor, in the hand of a practised writer like Mrs. Trollope —acquainted, as she is, with all the workings of the kuman passions, physically and morally, on different constituted minds—could it prove otherwise than rich, and varied, and startling in its development. The work abOunds with the most keen and caustic satire. Amongst th characters may be particularly mentioned two re ma kably amiable and good sort of people, Colonel and Mtis. Dermont, the " great ones" of the village, who neler dift'er and quarrel upon any subject, and, con amore, unite their forces to spoil their only son and heir, Alfred, the hero of the tale, whom they regard as the most beautiful and wonderful of God's creatures. The heioine, Amelia Thorwold, is a magnificent, full-blown, aristocratic beauty—a perfect mistress of all the arts of dedeption, and a vindictive plotter in the bargain. Con traSted with her is the gentle, yet acute and intelligent Julia Drummond, the ward of Colonel Dermont, and th© fellow pupil of Alfred. There is also an obstre porous old maid, Celestina Marsh, passionately, vio iently, furiously in love with every young man she meets. And then, besides numerous others, is a Mrs. Stephens, a young married woman of forty—rich, hand toxic, intellectual, literary, philosophical, and Yankee bitten, who has converted (or, as Scrub, in the play, would say, perverted) her youthful husband, a clergy mats of the Church of England, to Unitarianism. Nor mutt her friend Mr. Hollingsworth, pork-butcher, tripe and wine-merchant, &c., ' an American of great literary endowments, just arrived from the United States,' be passed unnoticed. The work will soon be in every body's hands."— Naval and Military Gazette. (ADVERTISEMENT.] A CERTAIN CURE FOR AsTnivtA.

LEITH, Nov. 5--VioLErr GALE.—A violent gale from the east set in on Friday, and has continued with more or less fury ever since. On Saturday it blew so strong that all the steamers, with one exception, which ventured out that day were un able to proceed down the Firth, and obliged to tako shelter to leeward of Inchkeith, where they lay till early on Monday morning. A timber-laden vessel—the Jane, Captain Loudo n, of Sunderland, frPetersburgh to Ilull—was driven up the Firth on Sway evening, Long Craig-rock, at the south-east end of the and in seeking shelter off Inchkeith, ran uthe island, at ten P.

'VIE hard substance obtained by pressure from the Crude Cocoa-Nut Oil, is an essential ingredient In the PA TENT COMPOSITE CANDLES ; and, as EDWARD PRICE and CO., hold the Patents for this process, and grant no licenses under them, it follows, either, that the imitation Composite Candles are entirely different from the Patent ones, or, that the imitators are infringing the Patents : the first is generally the case, but to protect themselves against the possibility of the other, EDWARD PRICE and CO. hereby engages to pay a reward of Fifty Pounds to any workman or other person, who may give such information respecting parties pressing Cocoa-Nut Oil, as shall lead to their conviction. The name of the informant will be kept strictly secret, and he need not take a prominent part in the proceedings, as all that E. P. and Co. require is the first clue to the discovery of the infringers, which they will then follow up for themselves. This advertisement is being pub lished in every newspaper of any circulation in the United Kingdom. The Candles are now so wellknown to the Puslic, that it is hardly necessary to state here that they burn more brilliantly than the best wax, and give so large an amount of light, as to be cheaper, taking this into account, than the commonest Tallow Candles. They may be had of most of the respectable Tallow Chandlers throughout the kingdom ; but purchasers must insist on being supplied w "PRICE'S PATENT CANDLES," otherwise they are liable to 1 deceived with some of the imitations, all called, like the real ones, " Composite."

We regard the work before us,'' The Silent Friend,' as a work embracing most clear and practical views of a series of com plaints hitherto little understood, and passed over by the majority of the Medical profession, for what reason we are at a loss to know. We must, however, confess that a perusal of this work has left such a favourable impression on our minds, that we not only recommend, but cordially wish every one who is the victim of past folly, or suffer. ing from indiscretion, to profit by the advice contained in its pages." —Age and Argus. "The Authors of ' The Silent Friend,' seem to be thoroughly conversant with the treatmeot of a class of complaints which are, we fear, too prevalent in the present day. The perspicuous style in which this book is written, and the valuable hints it conveys to those who are apprehensive of entering. the marriage state, cannot fail to recommend it to a careful perusal. —Era.

Yesterday a meeting of this Company was held at thl London-bridge Station, to consider the expedi ency of capitalising the mortgage debts of the Com pany, by creating new shares, and thus also providing funds for the formation of the Canterbury, Margot', and Ramsgate line of railway. Mr. Parry Richards, the Deputy Chairman of the Directory, took the chair. The Chairman having briefly advocated the purposes of the meeting, was followed by Mr. •DZ`Grigor, who supported his views. After several gentlemen, directors and proprietors, had addressed the meeting, resolutions were adopted which autho rised the formation of the above line, and the raising of capital of 1,400,0001., to be created by 4:2,000 :Alan s of the nominal value of 50/. each, upon plyment of 331. Gs. Bd. A vote of thanks was then rased to the Chairman, and the meeting separated. WEST LONDON RAILWAY. The adjourned half-yearly meeting of the Proi,ri etors of the above railway was held yesterday, at the offices of the Company in Abchurch-lane, King Wil liam-stree, City. Mr. Wirrrcuurtcu, one of the Dire...tors, took the chair, and in opening the business of the day, said that negotiations had been entered into with the London and Birmingham Railway Company, for the purchase or lease by that Company of the IVest Lon don Railway. Those negotiations had not as yet been successful, and so many difficulties had arisen ‘sitli respect to the West London Railway, that it was now considered desirable, for the benefit and interest of the Company, that the present Directors should re sign. A large number of them had sent in their re signations already, and he understood it was the intention of the others to do so likewise. He recom mended the Proprietors to nominate a committee for the pill-pose of forming a new direction, and he also re commended the Proprietors to take steps for the exten sion of their line to the Thames, as the only means of making their property profitable. Lord KENSINGTON warmly protested against any steps being taken to extend this line, which was already a most unprofitable concern. He contended that the Company had broken faith with the con tractor, who had, been obliged to file a•bill in Chan cery in order to assert his rights. He declared before that meeting;•and before the public, that if the Com pany should attempt to extend their line, he would, both as a landowner, through whose estates the line would pass, and as a Shareholder, oppose to the l 'utmost_of his power the proposition when it came before Parliament. After a lengthened discussion, during which Lord Kensington indignantly loft the 'meting, it was re solved that Messrs. Lord, Richardson, and Bird, or any two of them, be appointed a committee for the purpose of taking the necessary steps for the forma• tion of a new direction in conjunction with the Man chester Shareholders and the resigning Directors. The Directors were then empowered to take such steps as might be necessary in compliance with the standing orders, for an application to Parliament in the next session for an Act to authorise the extension of the line to Knightsbridge and the Thames. The meeting then separated. WILTS, SOMERSET, AND WEYMOUTH RAILWAY, BRIDPORT, TIIURSDAY.LAI public meeting was yesterday held at the Town-hall, Bridport, to receive the report of a Provisional Committee which had be( n recently formed, relative to a proposed railway from Bridport Harbour to Maiden Newton, in connexion with a line from Southampton to Dorchester, via Wareham and Poole, and with the Bristol and Exeter Railway by a branch front Sherborne to Yeovil, South Petherton, Langport, and Darweston, near Bridgewater. In Wiltshire, the projected line is to extend from Corsham, near Chippenham, to Meil ham, Bradford, and Trowbridge;. and in Somerset, to Frome, Bruton, Castle Cary, and Yeovil. The chair was taken by the Mayor, W. Battiscombe, Esq., and on the platform were Messrs. S. B. and W. E. Gundrv, T. tlounsell, J. and B. Gundry, J. H. and 0. K. 'Templer, E. and A. Nicholetts, W. Colfox, W. Swain, sen. and jun., J. Pope, Lieut. J. Pittield, R.N., Rev. 11. Fox, with many other respectable inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood. The report gAve great satisfaction to the meeting, and Mr.TEMPLER, sen., pointed out the various advan tages, both national and commercial, which the pro posed line would afford ; as, in case of war with our neighbours on the other side of the Channel, a railway along this part of the coast (which at present was so ill prepared to resist an enemy) would be most essen tial, and went so far as to say, that the Government would oppose any other plan than the one now pro posed—and the commercial advantages would be very extensive, as from Southampton they would be in direct communication with Brighton and Dover. 'several routine resolutions were unanimously car ried, a committee named, and the meeting was informed that the whole of the shares would be pro vided for by the Great Western Railway Company, but who would set apart a limited number to be dis plsed of along the proposed line—they would be of 50/. each, for which that Company would guarantee 4 rcr cent. interest, and a divisional share of one-half the profits when the shares yielded 8 per cent. to the ho)ders. SUICIDE AT KILMARNOCK. (From the Birnr'nglanin Advertiser.) ' In our last page, under the 'mad of " Scotland," 'we hake give', full particulars of the determined suicide a two pi rsons unknown at the place where they committed the fatal act of selt'-destruction. There being good rea- -. eon to suppose that the parties were from this neighbour lion:l, we made every possible inquiry on the subject, and discovered on Monday last that they were in all probs billty old inhabitants of Birmingham. Under these cir eutnoances we felt it our duty to prosecute the inquiries further, and are now enabled to lay the following par tiehlars before our readers : The deceased, Mr. Joseph Barker, was 61 years of age, his wife was somewhat younger. They resided, privious to leaving Birmingham, at No. 54, Vittoria st&et. Mr. Barker was born at Preston, in Lancashire, frqm which town he married for his second wife the pal-tiler of his romantic, but melancholy exit. Ile had resided in Manchester, London, Malta, and several parts of The continent, being at one time most extensively • engaged in business as a foreign merchant. At the butning of Moscow he estimated his loss at 500,000/. ; fr•im that time his fortunes were reversed. Ills first wile died on board a ship. Ills only child, a son, on . whose memory ho appeared to dote, also died when 21 yehrs of age. Six years ago he entered the service of M. Samuel Kempson, floor-cloth manufacturer, Consti tution• hill, where he remained as chief ( Jerk and traveller until May last, when lie entered into partnership with Mr. James Archer, who had also been wi‘h Mr. Kempson, and the firm was opened in Summer-lane, as James Archer and Co., table-cloth main facturers. In the • arrangements there was nothing to disturb the equa nimity of his proverbially even timper. He appeared cn excel'ent terms with all aroLnd him ; tail when, two months ago, he left home, as he alleged to his partner, on a visit to Manchester, there was nothing to indicate the fearful resolve to which sibs' quent circumstances ' lead us to suppose he Ind made up his mind. On leaving their house they told the servant girl they were going to see a relation at a distance, and should be back in eight or nine days. When he parted from Mr. Archer, he shook hands heartily, saying, " God bless you, Archer;" and it was observed by Mr. Archer that he turned away and seemed affected. It was afterwards found that he had, previous to his departure, called and discharged every tradesman's bill against the firm. It was supposed that he had about 401. on him when he left Birmingham. In a pecuniary point of - view there ~ was not, as we can ascertain, any embarrassment, and we have met with no satisfactory solution to the mystery ‘, of their self-destruction. Mr. Barker was of most gentlemanly habits and man ners, speaking fluently the Italian, French, and German : languages; and of kindly disposition, creating regard and love in those with whom he was associated in business and in private life. Mrs. Barker was a woman of much • amiability and suavity of manner, highly accomplished, , and a proficient in music. The gold watch found on Mr. Barker was an old fashioned family relic, and the knife was a present from a young and esteemed friend, in Mr. limp,on's employ- The description of the knife led to the identity of the unhappy deceased. On seeing the account in the London papers, Mr. Archer sent his foreman over to Kilmarnock, to identity the parties. The bay of Mr. Barker ws4 ". alone disinterred, and AN-Ls immediately recognised by . the foreman. ~ 11 ' METROPOLITAN IMPROVEMENTS.—....un ng the last few days the large clump of houses on Brownlow-street, Long-acre, and leading St. Giles's Workhouse, place to the new church, nea r .

The new street from Long-acre to Coventry-street is now open for vehicles. From Castle-street to Leicester square, on what was formerly Cranbourne-alley, a neat row of shops has been rail ed, which in the course of a few weeks will be tenanted. At the back of St. George's Barracks, Charing-cross, a large engine house is in the course of erection for the purpose of keeping up a continual supply of water for the fountains in Trafalgar-square. CRIME AND ITS DECREASE —We were glad to see that, last week, there was not a single committal to the county gaol. Such a ciamnistance is cheering, and leads to the hope that the proposed enlargement of the prison will be found unnecessary.
