"Dear Sir,—You have been informed that I have directed the payment of your rent to be deferred from the end of the present month till Lady-day. This I have done chiefly, as I did once before, in order that you may be enabled to avail yourself of improvement in the markets for the produce of your farm, should such occur, in the course of that time'. But inasmuch as this will deprive me of the opportunity of addressing you together with my other tenants, which I usually have about this time of the year, I take this method of communicating to you a few remarks which I might otherwise have made in another manner. MURDER and SUICIDE in MANCHESTER. A most tragical occurrence has just taken place in Broughton, one of the suburbs of Manchester, which has filled the whole of that neighbourhood with the deepest consternation. The facts are briefly these :—Mr. Lewis Novell; a young merchant, wealthy and well-connect e d, di e d some months ago, leaving a widow and two children, whom he confided to the care of his brother Al ex .. ander, as one of his executors. Mrs. Harriet No velli resided, together with her children, under the roof of Mr. Alexander, at Cliff Point, Broughton. The greatest possible kindness was always !mani fested towards his sister-in-law by Mr. Novelli. Oa Sunday evening the servants retired to bed as usual, leaving Mr. Novelli and Mrs. Novelli in the dining room. On coming down stairs on Monday !morning, their horror may be conceived, when Mrs. Novelli was discovered lying lifeless on the floor of the dining room, while on proceeding to the bedroom of Mr. Novelli, he was found hanging by the cord of his dressing-gown from the rail upon which the bed curtains were suspended. He was also dead, but the body was warm. Surgeons were procured, and the body of the gentleman was cut down, while an exa mination was made of the body of the lady. An inquest was held in the evening of Monday, at five o'clock. The following was the evidence adduced : This day is published, in Svo., price es. ; by post 6s. 6d., with Map of Ireland, and Plan of Farm Buildings.

BY THE COURT. WHITEHALL, JAN. 16. _ _ _ _ _ " At times of low prices, like the present, it is usual with many excellent landlords to make a tem porary abatement, a return of part of the rent, gene rally 10 per cent., to tbeir tenants on the rent-day. I am bound to state distinctly that this is a practice which I never shall adopt in any circumstances, as it seems to me to proceed upon very objectionable prin ciples. It is usually done, as it has been re cently, after the said low prices have prevailed for not more than a year or a year and a half. If it means anything, therefore, it means that the agreement between landlord and tenant for a fixed rent was made on an implied understanding that if prices were not every year to be up to a given amount, fairness, or at least liberality, required that, in any year in which they were materially below that amount, the agree ment should be departed from. Now, in the first place, if such were the case, the result ought not to be all on one side ; the landlord ought to be considered as well as the tenant ; when the prices for the year exceeded the supposed amount, the landlord ought to receive an increase of rent, as the tenant receives an ' abatement when they fall below. Did any one ever hear of such a thing being done, or does any one conceive that it could by any possibility be done ? " But I entirely deny that rents are, or ought to be, fixed on any such understanding, and I consider that if they were it would be fatal to the interests of anriculture. A tenant ought to calculate what he can afford to pay, according to the average of a long course of years. Leases are, of course, founded upon this principle, and are utterly unmeaning on any other; and it is denied by no one that for a proper system of cultivation a tenant must either have the security of a lease or some practical equivalent to it. Where fore, not the fluctuations from year to year, but the average of 20 or 21 years ought to govern the agree ment by which both landlord and tenant shall be bound. The good years are to make up for the bad. No doubt this requires that a tenant shall be a man with resources which he can lay by and fall back upon ; and I know some persons say that this is all very well, but that it cannot be expected that farmers shall have such resources, and that they must needs live from hand to mouth. To this I can only say that I have never found this to be the case with my tenants —that I do not believe it is the case with them ; and that if I did believe it, I never would do anything that should tend to perpetuate so rotten and ruinous a system. __ If less land is required the cost proportionally reduced.

Mrs. Harriett Novelli lying in the dining-room, and the body of Mr. Alexander Novelli hanging from the bedpost in his own room. Both were quite dead. Her evidence was confirmed by John Ferguson, the servant of a gentlethan in the immediate neighbourhood, who had entered the house shortly after the discovery. Mr. Edward Coston, of the firm of. Todd and Coston, who was the next witness, said the deceased took tea at his house on the Sunday, after church, and remained until about half-past nine o'clock, when they walked home. He observed no pecu liarity about the manner of either of them. He was sent for on Monday morning, and on arriving at the house he first saw the body of Mrs. Novels lying upon the floor of the dining-room, as though she had fallen from her chair. She was dead and cold, but there was no appearance of injury. Drs. Ainsworth and Harrison came shortly afterwards, and on examining the body found that life was extinct. Her dress was the same that she had worn at his house. Ho then went up stairs, accompanied by the two medical gentlemen, into the room of Mr. Alexander Novelli, where they found him suspended by the waist cord of his dressing-gown, from the curtain-rod of the bed. His neck was bare. The body was perfectly warm, and the bed also. He had apparently not been out of bed more than half an hour. There were marks of vomiting upon his clothes. He (the witness) thought that he had risen from bed and put on his trousers. There were appearances of vomiting in the dining room, near the sofa ; and he imagined that Mr. No velli had vomited in that room. There was a little of something like spirit in a glass near Mrs. No.; - velli. Mr. Alexander Novelli was about 29, and Mrs. Novelli about 30 years of age. Mr. Novelli was out of businesr.

"It follows that if there is a reasonable prospect of a permanent reduction in the prices of whatever articles enter into the calculation of the letting value of land, the reduction of rents must be permanent also. Any one can see that this is a mere truism ; but yet it is by no means consistent with much of the language which is heard on this subject. Landlords are entreated and advised to lower their rents, as if it was a matter of kindness or of moral obligation. But it is no such thing. Rent is value, and must be regulated, like any other value, by the market for the article to which it refers. Now, I know perfectly well that there is not one of my farms which, if it were vacant, I could not let in a fortnight , at its present rent. As long as this is the case there is no reasonableness in the suggestion that I, or any one in a similar case, should lower our rents. Of course it is not necessary, in order to ascertain this, that any farm should be actually vacant. I should be sorry to have any of my farms thrown up, but there is no diffi culty in any neighbourhood in knowing how any part of the land would let. R.

Ey the operation of the same principles, the Society is enabled to afford to the public a plan of Deferred Annuities far more advanta geous than any hitherto offered, whereby an individual, by the con tribution of a very small annual, monthly, or weekly saving, may se cure either a comfortable provision for himself in advanced age, er, at his option, a large sum of money, or a policy to his family at his death ; while by giving to the purchaser, at any time, the power of borrowing two-thirds of all previous payments, it removes all risk of forfeiture from inability to continue premiums, besides affording an ample resource during sickness and want of employment ; and should the purchaser die before arriving at the stipulated period, two thirds of his payments will be returned to his representatives. The following Table is a specimen of the great and ♦aried advan pages which the judicious application of a small saving cat secure through this Society. Doctor of Medicine. Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, &c. This work contains an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs. It un fortunately happens that the unhappy rictim of excessive indul gence and vicious habits, while suffering front their invariable con sequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap :dying to a qualified physi cian for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erro neously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking 'or assistance where alone it can be procured. Dr. f. 'MERT has taken the highest medical honours, as his diplomas testify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experi encn, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

I do not want to imitate old Moore, Who often tried the future to explore. I never handle matters of chronology By meaps of signs connected with astrology. Far more I know of waistcoats, coats, and breeches, Than fortune-tellers, almanacks, and witches. Yet, notwithstanding this, my humble muse Is half-inclined to tread in Murphy's shoes, By telling you the reasons she has got For thinking winter will be hard or not. Judging from signs, I do not think I'm wrong In saying winter will he hard and long. I fancy that the snowdrop's slender leaf Shows certain signs that winter won't be brief; The crocus and the hyacinth as well The self-same story of the winter tell ; And there is something in the robin's note Which indicates that warmth is far remote. Now, if you think I'm right ix such a guess, A warning take, and look to winter dress. Moses aid Son's warm coats you must regard, If winter's season's to be long and hard. No opportunity have Moses' lost In making preparation for the frost. The trading bard's prediction, kindly meant, Should lead to Moses' famed establishment, Where winter dress for moderate price is sold, Adapted to the bard's predicted cold. LAST or PRICIIIs.

The several committees are summoned to meet at the Bull Inn, Penenden-heath, at t , n o'clock in the morning, when they hope to have the support of every yeoman and friend to British in dustry and capital. Provision will be made against un favourable weather. It has been thrt atened that Mr. Cobden and his free-trade 'party are to oppose us. Give them a meeting, and let them see that the yeomen of Kent will not submit to be robbed any longer by such a selfish and un.English faction. Consider that the issue of this great struggle depends on yourself', and the result cannot be doubted.--=West Kent Committee, 17th Jan., 1850." It is observ a bl e th a t no b o d y s i gns t hi s c i rcu l ar .

(From the Registrar-General's Return.) In the week ending last Saturday, 1,156 deaths were Tegistered in the metropolitan districts ; the average for ten corresponding weeks of previousyears (1840-49) is 1,125, which, if a correction be made fur increase of population, becomes 1,227. The lowest number in the ten weeks was 916 in 1840 ; the highest was 1,401 in 1848. Though the rate of mortality has much increased since December, and the present return shows an increase of nearly an hundred on the previous week, the deaths are still less than the average by 71. To the coldness of the wea ther may be ascribed the increase of Mortality which recent returns have exhibited. In the last three weeks the deaths from phthisis or consumption have been re spectively•l29, 140, and 157 (the corrected average for last week being 146) ; from bronchitis 103, 120, and 131 (the average being 73) ; from asthma 19, 35, 27 (the average being .52) ; and from pneumonia, 95, 83, and 85, whilst the average is 117. Of the 85 persons (comparatively few) who died last week from pneumonia, 60 were children ; but of the 131 who died from bronchitis, which much exceeds the average, by far the larger proportion were persons of advanced age. Seven men and 14 women died last week at 85 years of age and upwards; one of the latter in Bishopsgate "Workhouse, had reached the age of 99. Epidemic diseases continue to be less fatal than usual, except - measles, which carried off 37 children, or rather more than the average. This disease ranged in the corresponding week of ten previous years from II to 51. Only 10 deaths occurred from diarrhoea ; and no deaths are ascribed to cholera in the returns of the week; but a man who had cholera in August, and never wholly recovered fro m th e e ff ec t s o f i t, di e d in St. During the la .Thomas's Hospital,sts vvhera h e h a d b een f or n i ne eeeven weeks only two deaths from cholera have appeared in the bills of mortality. A few cases are selected from the Registrars' re port :-- In Camden Town (sub-district), at 30, Cambridge street, the son of a navigator, aged 1 year, died- of 1" acute-hydrocephalus (conge n it a l), slight fever (1 week), convulsions." At 19, Cambridge-street (same as above), the daughter of a whitesmith, aged 16 months, of " per tussis (10 days), pneumonia (3 days)." Mr. Holl 'describes Agar Town, where this street is situated, as " damp, badly drained, and unhealthy." At St. Clement Danes, i n Nag's Head-court, the daughter of a hawker, 11 months, of " convulsions." Mr. Jones states, that " Ow i ng _ to t h e b a d d ra i nage the filth runs out beneath the water sink, and creates so intolerable a smell that one cannot enter the yard for it." At Hackney-road, in T urv il le-bui l d i ngs, a wa ddi ng dealer died of " chroni c asthma (5 years)." Mr. Murray states that th e court is crowded, c l ose , an d ill ventilated, and that th e water not being l a id on , it must be begged from ne i g hb ouring places. Kent-road (sub-district), in Ann-street, the son of a hawker, 10 weeks, of " herpes and debility." Mr. Fitch states that " the parents and other inha bitants of the street are for the most part hawkers of vegetables, &c., and have suffered severely from want during the late inclement weather." Upper Clapton, Caroline-street, is described by Mr. Montaigne as " very filthy, over-crowded, and seldom cleaned." Births in the week 1,383. The mean daily reading of the barometer at Green wich Observatory was 29.574 in. The mean daily temperature ranged from 25.5 on Tuesday to 40.6 on Saturday. The mean of the week was 31.1, which is 5.5 less than the average of the same week in seven years. On Tuesday the mean temperature was nearly 11.1ess than the average. MORTALITY in the METROPOLIS.

This arrangement, from the proximity of the office to the houses of Parliament, law courts, Etc., will increase the rapidity.of telegraphic communications, both public and private, from the west-end of the me trppolis. "I am not, therefore, prepared to make either of the above offers ; but I repeat the offer which I have so often made, and which seems to me better than any other to realise the hackneyed phrase of the landlord getting into the same boat with the tenant, viz., that my present rents should be commuted into rents cal culated according to the value of the produce of land. lam quite aware that there are objections to this kind of rent ; but, on the whole, I consider that it is better fitted than any other for times like these, in which tenants are apprehensive of ruinously low prices, and have a consequent difficulty in esti mating the money-rent which they can afford to pay. It is said to be difficult to fix the starting point for such au arrangement. I will, therefore, endeavour to state more in detail what I would propose ; only observing that I should be willing to vary it in any particular, the general principle remaining the same. " I suppose the case of La given tenant. I take the year in which he agreed to take his farm at the actual rent. He did it deliberately, and with his eyes open, and I assume that it was a fair agreement. I then calculate, on the average of the seven years pre ceding that date, the amount of produce which that amount of rent represented, and proceed precisely on the principle of the Tithe Commutation Act ; only that instead of meaning by produce' corn alone, I take it to mean corn and lire stock ; so that in each year the rent would be the value in money, according to the average of the seven years preceding such year, of as much produce as was worth the first named sum, according to the average of the seven' years preceding the letting. This calculation may seem complicated, but I have no doubt it will be readily understood, as it is only that with which you are well acquainted. in the Tithe Act just referred to. " Of course there are many-details which would have to be settled beyond what I have stated. But I em persuaded that if the principle of such a plan were heartily agreed upon the arrangement of it would be attended with no serious difficulty. I will only observe, what I think will not be denied, that in this neighbourhood, at least, a plan so con structed is in one important respect clearly favourable to the tenant. Land in this district will always let at a somewhat higher rate than would be represented by a general average price of corn and stock Many of my tenants also deal in valuable commodities (such as butter), which I have not proposed to in clude. But for the sake of simplicity and other rea sons I am content to take it so. " I add that such an arrangement should be open ,o all tenants, whether under lease or not ; and that t should also be open to all of them at any time to terminate it, and to revert to a fixed money rent at the then market value of land. ete fftdenecati onlynv m t " The real reason why some p ersons wou ld hesi tate to agree to such a pl an , i s j us t one o f th ose which commend it to me , as may b e i n f erre d f rom what I said in the early p ar t o f thi s l e tt er —th a t it tells both ways, i ns t ea d o f on ly one . U n d ou bt e dly under it the landl o rd wou ld h ave th e b ene fit o f a r i se in price, w hil e th e t enan t i s p ro t ec t e d aga i ns t a f a ll. But this seems to me q uite f a ir. And at all eve n t s the plan ought to be satisf ac tory to those who ar e so loudly . and con fid e ntly p roc l a i m i ng th a t ver y l ow prices must inevitably now pre va il. " I have very little faith in those positi v e prognos tications ; but neither do I pretend to be positi v e on the other side. I admit ther e i s uncer t a i n ty ; an d I, therefore, suggest what seem s r easona bly we ll fitted to such a period of uncertainty. " Into more general topics I shall not now enter. Leases many of you have—any of you can have, as you know, on application ; and I hare recentlyoporo vided, for covenants on my estate, a clause o for p ia ns e n hf s ao a rp t ea i o ss n tthh f o ae r t e u t xh n ie e s t x l ia h nw a g u ml s a t i w e g d h w i t m i lb p l e r o n d y m e ma m di t e e. n t m s I t o o waited e th i for the purpose than it is. " I am, dear Sir, yours truly, " LYTTELTON. Colonel Mason, High Sheriff of Norfolk, and a stanch Protectionist, has returned the following an swer to an application made by his tenantry for a reduction of rent, in consequence of the low price of farming produce : " Necton-hall, Nov. 25, 1849. "TO TUB TENANTS ON MY PROPERTY. " My good Friends,—By free trade the Government of the country has put the . landed inter es t o f th e United Kingdom under a d ifferent position than that in which it has been placed. " It becomes necessary, therefore, for those who possess landed property, and for those who hire it, to come to a right adjustment of terms between them, as the circumstances of the case , may require. " In my own occupation of about 580 acres (of which 100 acres, as my steward testifies, yield no Mr. James Bowen Harrison, surgeon, was next ex amined—He had, in conjunction with Dr. Ainsworth, made an examination of the bodies of the deceased. On the head of Mrs. Novelli there was no appearance of external injury, though about the neck there were marks such as might have been produced by the finger nails. The brain was highly congested, and the great vessels about the neck were gorged with blood.' On no other part of the body were there marks of in jury. The lungs and heart were highly congested. In the stomach nothing peculiar was observed. There were no traces of poison. The condition of the lungs, head, and heart were quite sufficient to account for death, and this, in his opinion, had resulted from strangling. Mr. Ralph Faucett Ainsworth said that from a sub sequent examination of the body he believed death to have been caused by strangulation ; the marks upon the throat being such as would be produced by the violent insertion of the thumb into the throat. With regard to Mr. Alexander Novelli, the witness ex pressed his opinion that a struggle had taken place between the two, and that in the struggle the slight bruise had been made upon the nose of Mr. Novelli. A brooch which Mrs. Novelli wore was very much bent, and this corrobarated the conjecture. The surgeons did not believe that any poison had been used. Mr. Novelli had evidently died from the effect of hanging. The vomited matter which was found near and upon his person did not appear to be impregnated with corrosive poison of any kind. The female servant Radcliffe was again called in, and stated that Mr. Novelli and his sister-in-law had supped from oatmeal porridge on the preceding night Mr. Coston said that he had known Mr. Novelli for several years, and he had not observed any symp toms of derangement of intellect. One of Mr. Novelli's brothers had committed suicide some time ago. Ile could not account for any motive which could induce Mr. Novelli thus to act, but he had heard that he was attached to the lady, and that his addresses were not favourably received. Such in substance wasthit evidence adduced. The Coroner said that he did not see how the jury could come to any other decision than that of murder and felo de se. They might, however, adjourn the verdict. An adjournment was then made until to-day. Though no living evidence can be procured which may lead to the discovery of -the causes which have immediately led to the appalling result which has been described, the general impression is that Mr. Alexander Novelli, who, it is reported, was passion ately fond of his sister-in-law, had been on the Sun day evening tendering his suit, that he was rejected, and that in a moment of frenzy he strangled the object of his love ; that afterwards he retired to his cham ber and to bed, but that, overcome by feelings of remorse and horror, be destroyed himself as before stated. ANOTHER MURDEROUS ATTACK UPON A WARDER. —On Saturday morning last the interior of the Milt. bank Penitentiary was again the scene of a most despe rate outrage, which was committed by one of the pri soners under sentence of ten years' transportation; upon a warder named Balls, who narrowly escaped from being murdered in a similar manner as the late unfortunate warder Hall. It appears that, on Sunday morning last, the warder Balls let the prisoner out of his cog La the purpose of allowing him to empty his slops in the eus tomary manner. After the prisoner had done that dtity, the warder proceeded along the passage, followed by the prisoner. They had not ;one far when Balls re ceived a violent blow on the side of the head with the . utensil, which partially stunned him, but on recovering his senses directly afterwards, ho turned round, and saw the prisoner in the act of striking him a second blow. The warder dexterously avoided the blow, and called out instantly for assistance. In the meantime the pri soner commenced a most murderous attack upon the warder, inflicting several severe blows upon the bead, face, and arms, and causing extensive wounds, frees which the blood flowed profusely. The warder, after is most desperate struggle for his life, succeeded in closing with his antagonist, and although he was weak from' the loss of blood, be ultimately forced him to the ground. At that moment several warders, who had beard Ball's cries for assistance,- catered the passage, when the pri soner was secured and removed to one of the strong cells. Balls was conveyed to the infirmary in a eery - x- bausted condition, but fortunately no bone was fracture d. a_ o Dr. Baly afterwards visited the wounded , under his skilful treatment there ar e stron g hop tb n a d es t he will speedily recover. S UPPOSED M U RDERS AT LYNN.—In our last we mentioned the arrival of a n off i cer of the London detec tive force (Sheppey) to make an inquiry into the mys terious&Dee of John Kirk and John B e ll, t h e first of whom ha s been missin g since the 12 th of Octo ber, disappear and the latter since the 13th of November, with no clue to their fate. A very singular discovery has been made with regard to John Bell, which may lead to im portant results. Some persons from Middleton on Mon day last informed the officers that a purse and knife had been found by a Middleton man by the side of Worm.- gay Drain. The officers immediately went to Middle ton, and possessed themselves cf these articles. Upon the purse being shown to the niece of John Bell, she im mediately exclaimed, " That is my uncle's purse. I know it, because I made it myself." She then observed that if it was her uncle's it was mended in ono part with a double thread; and on examination so it proved to be. —Norfolk Chronicle. tdMILY SANDFORD.—By a letter received yester day, dated Port Philip, Oct. 1, 1849, we are informed that this unfortunate female met with a sad misfortime by the loss of her brother, a few days after their arrival in the Casper emigrant-shir, in Port Adelaide harbour.
