Llanheris, Nevin, l'wllheli, to Porth Dynllaen, in the same county, situated in its chief agricultural district. The whole length of the line is twenty eight miles. Porth Dynllaen is well known as a safe and commodious harbour, possessing great natural advantages, and situated near the extremity of one of the headlands bounding Carnarvon Bay, Holyhead forming the other. The harbour possesses great advantages, as a harbour of refuge, over every other port on the coast of North Wales, as is proved by the Custom-house books of the port, which show that no fewer than 3.315 vessels put in there for shelter during the years 1840, 1841, 1842, and 1843: The commanding maritime importance of the situation will be evi dent, when it is considered that North Wales supplies nearly the whole world with slate, and that this can be readily shipped at Porth Dyffilaen from all the principal quarries, including tb celebrated quarries of Penrhyn and Dinorwig, under circa which will reduce the freights to all parts of the So' South Wales, and the South of England, 1 ,- Bristol, to one-half of their present a'- niable, as not only will a reduce , in the length of the voyao ,, and the hazardous rif. - • be avoided, and The co . guar' —.dances tteland s LbkVIVII and —.aunt.

The population of Bangor and Carnarvon comprised in the electoral districts, together with that residing on either side and extremity in the locality of the proposed line of Railway, amount to upwards of 40,000 persons. The well-known scenery and antiquities of North Wales have long been objects of progressively increasing interest to a very large num ber of tourists and visitors during the summer and antuffin Months ; at which periods of the year five Steam vessels per Week run between Liverpool and Bangor; and it is on record, that In one year Bangor was visited by 50,000 persons. Upon this part of the stibitet it is important to notice that the southern terminus of the line will be directly opposite to the port of Wicklow, whereby teaVellers will reacts in the most direct manner the celebrated , Penery of the county of Wicklow, while on this side this Railway trill facilitate Mimed' tte access to the romantic districts of Bethgellert, Tremadoe, Llanberis, and Snowdon. There are now five public means of conveyance passing daily be twee n,Bangor,Carnarvon, LI anbetis,Nev in,and Pwllhell,and vice versa, carrying on an average six passengers each way, which will produce Mt a year 17,980 persons. There are kept for the purpose of hire, at Bangor, the Menai Bridge, Carnarvon, and other places adjacent to the line, 100 vehicles for public accommodation, which may be fairly computed to convey three passengers per day for seven months of the year, going from and returning to places which the line will command, thus amounting to 100,800 persons. Of the population adjoining the line of Railway before stated, amounting to 46,000, it May be fairly estimated that those travel daily on foot, and ht their own means of conveyance, exclusive of any additional allowance for market and fair days, will supply a daily source of traffic equal to 60 persons ; and calculating that they will return, they will amount in the year to 34,060 persons. There are two turnpike-gates between Bangor and Carnarvon, the • tolls of which for single horse vehicles are Is., being at the rate of Id.. per mile, These gates were let last year, exclusive of the cost of oollection, for 5211, per annum. There are held In different parts of Carnarvonshire, adjacent to this Line, more than forty fairs in the course of the year. The cattle, sheep, and pigs, collected at these fairs are now driven to different parrs of England, and form the great export of North Wales ; and it is but reasonable to suppose that when a hallway communication shall be established, th it mode of conveyance will be preferred. It was said by Sir Robert Peel, on his introduction of the tariff, that the importation of cattle from Ireland increased, in twenty years, from 17,000 head Into all the English ports, to 100,000 head, into Liverpool alone. the extensive chain of Railways now forming in Ireland, and the completion of the proposed lines of Railway between Kingstown and Wicklow, and Waterford and Wicklow, will cause the Irish cattle traffic, which at present enters England by Liverpool and Bristol, to be concentrated on Porth Dynlliten, the sea voyage be tween Wicklow and Porth I)vnllaen being shorter, by five geographical miles, than by any other ports in the English and Irish Channels ; anal shorter, by one-half, than between those ports which now et joy the Irish cattle trade. The course of this Line by the engineer's report and sections, is exceedingly favourable, both as respects gradients and the inexpensive character of the works. The cost of the Railway, and of the pro posed improvement of the harbour, does not exceed 100,000/. The Plans, Sections, and Books of reference have been duly de posited in the proper departments, and application will be made for an Act in the present session of Parliament. Arrangements have been made with responsible contractors to complete the Railway within the engineer's estimates, both as to time and amount, and thus the sufficiency of the capital is placed beyond a doubt. In preparing the estimate of the returns to be expected, as shown in the traffic table subjoined, the calculation has been based with much care upon the most authentic accounts it was possible to procure. The result is highly satisfactory, ano the undertaking offers an eligible field for investment, the clear profits being found equal to upwards of twelve per cent. on the capital to be employed.

By Dr. CRONIN, Physician to the Strand Dispensary for Consumption. TREATMENT OF CoNsUMETION.—I ask you, I)r. Forbes (of 12, Old Burlington-street), are you acquainted with my mode of treating Consumption? Have you ever read my " Treatise ?" Are you ac quainted with the nature of Traction ? Had you criticised that hum ble production—had you examined its matter, shown its errors, and pointed out its fallacies, if such there he, I probably should have been silent. if not content. But no—although now three years before the public, you pass over its statements unheeded, its doctrines neglected, its errors unnoticed; even its falsehoods, if any, uncontradicted. What, suffer me—a " blockhead"—for upwards of three years to tin pose on the public—to amuse them with " Traction," without con tradiction—without ohservatloll—without a single remark I How different to my case would be that of Sir Ilenry Halford—hut I have no Fellowships in my gift. Had " Traction" originated with him or with Dr. Chambers, the former of whlm would have, and the latter, probably, now—would give his ears that such had been the case, the " British and Foreign Quarterly Review" wonld have rung from the Title-page to the Finis with the wonderful discovery. I fear that many will infer that self-interest proved the principal incentive at last—several of your patients ha lug deserted you to place them selves under my care—and the bare suspicion conveys an impute tation, which, for your own character and reputation, I trust you will he able, and satisfactorily, to explain.—From Dr. Cronin's " Letter on the Curability of Consumption."

THE REV. DR. WOLFF. Capt. Grover Fits 'received intelligence of Dr. Wolff to the 10th January, at which date he was at Eraerocm, endeavouring to recruit his strength for the journey over the mountains to Trebizonde. At Tehran the Doctor was received in the kindest manner by Col. Shiel, her Majesty's Envoy, who sent a Government golam to meet him. He left Tehran in a tuckrawan (a sort of litter), and by easy stages reached Tabris. Here the judicious treatment of Dr. Cassolan! enabled him, after some days' repose, to proceed by a similar conveyance towards Erzeroom. On reaching the Turkish frontier, owing to the immense accumulation of snow, he was obliged to proceed on horseback, and after great bodily suffering he reached Erseroom on the 4th January, exhausted. As soon as her Majesty's Commissioner, the kind hearted Colonel Williams, R.A., heard of the Doctor's approach, he rode as far as the last pass to meet him and escorted him into the town. Dr. Wolff is too in to write to any one, and cannot move from the sofa ; it is, however, hoped that the kind attentions of Colonel Williams, which have been really beyond all praise, will enable him to proceed in about a fortnight to Trebisond. A paragraph "having gone the round of the papers,' stating that Dr. Wolff never was in personal danger at Bukhara, and that he could have left when he pleased; and as such a statement was probably intended to weaken the sympathy every Enkishman must feel for this noble-minded man, who exposed himself to such horrible sufferings in attempting the release of two Bri tish Envoys, Captain Grover thinks it right to state that Dr. Wolff was in the greatest danger during the whole period of his stay at Bokhara; that guards were placed round his bed; and that he was indebted for his escape to Mimi Rottli Khan, the Persian Ambassador, who refused to leave Bokhara without him. LAW INTELLIGENCE. VIOE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Feb. 11. • (Before Sir J. K. BRUCE.) WYNN V. HEAVENGHAM. The question in this case related to certain ink lines, which were drawn by way of obliteration, or attempt at obliteration, across the name of three parties mentioned in a will. The dispute related to a freehold estate, and the question was, whether these ink lines were made before the testatrix ex ecuted her will, or if they were drawn afterwards; whether they th m ade , ee w t e a r t e r i x herself, in t h i e n l h ang e r p u r a es g e e n o e l - e t , h e e r s b t y a t h u e t r e d o i f r e fr c a t u i o ts, a n b y d consent. With regard to the personal estate, the Ecclesi astical Court had decided that the names were not erased or obliterated. His HONOUR, after going minutely into the evidence, said, from all the evidence before him, he was bound to come to a decision consentaneous to that given by the Ecclesiastical Court. MONTRESOR V. MONTRESOR. The questions involved in this case related to the will codicils of Sir Henry Montresor ; this instrument was evidently drawn up by Sir H. Montresor himself, informally, and without professional assistance. With regard tO the first question, his Honour decided that the enjoyment of the rents of the testator's real estate belonged to the wife and children jointly, independent of the eyercise of any dis cretionary power on the part of the trustees. The next question was whether the ready money in the house,. &c., went to his residuary legatee; he was of opinion that no present or future interest, but that the income belonged to the wife and children beneficially. With regard to the third codicil, as to the use of the words, American stock and Dutch funds, he held that they had a large meaning, and must be taken to include stock in the British funds also.

FIRE IN A RAILWAY TRAIN.—Early on Friday morning last, as the luggage train was conveying. a quantity of pigs from Birmingham, for sale in our market in this city, and on nearing the Beechwood tunnel, it was discovered that the straw on which the animals were lying was in flames.

Mr. Alderman MtlsottoVE drew the attention of the Court to the case of Mr. Marshall, the cashier of the Bank of England, who had been returned as an inquest juryman of his Ward, but had refused to serve. Aft.r a lung discussion it was decided that Mr. Mar shall should be called upon to take the oaths. Mr. Marshall (who was accompanied by Mr. Fresh field, solicitor to the Bank) declined to comply, there upon the City Sol citor *lll directed to take the neces sary steps to enforce compl , ance. The same course was adopted with regard to Mr. Tyrrell, another of the resi dents within the dank, who refused to take upon himself the oflice of inquest juryman. Mr. Alderman COPELAND presented the report of the Inspectors of Weights and Measures, from which it ap peered that 406 tradespeople had been convicted during the course of the past year in the City of London for using fraudulent weights and measures. The worthy Alderman also directed the attention of the Court to the frauds committed in Smithfield in the packing of hay and straw. Mr. Knill was ordered to show cause why he refused to serve as Common Councilman for the ward of Bil lingsgate. The report of the Committee of General Purposes on the subject of the regulation of steam vessels was brought up, and copies of the bye-laws therein recom mended were vrdered to be sent to the parties interested, praparatory to the matter being brought forward at a future Court. Upon the motion of Alderman JOHNSON, a report was agreed to, recommending tliat a petty sessions should be held every Saturday, at the Guildhall, for the pur pose of determining cases connected with bastardy, pauperism, and other matters on whkh the presence of two magistrates is necessary for adjudication, and that all cases of the kind within the City be referred to the Court over which those magistrates shall preside. GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY. The half-yearly general meeting of the Proprietors of the above railway was held, yesterday afternoon, at the Paddington station, Charles Russell, Esq., M.P., in the chair. There was a very full attendance of Share holders. The Chairman, in his opening address, pointed cut the advantages of the various extensions and branches which this Company had undertaken, and said that it was the intention of the Directors, with the sane- tion of the Proprietors, to go to Parliament upon those lines of this Company .which the Board of Trade had reported against, pi-ovided the Directors should not be satisfied with the reasons to be given by the Bo ►rd of Trade. This statemert was received with much ap plause. The Hon. Gentleman also stated, that on the 10th of March trains would be started to accomplish the journey to Oxford in an hour and a half, to Cireneeyter in two hours and a half, to Gloucester and Cheltenham in three hours, Bristol in three hours and a quarter, and to Exeter in five hours. _ Mr. Saunders, the Secretary, read the report of the Directors, which stated that the receipts for six montis, to the 31st of December last, had been 440,0461. Is. Id., presenting an increase of 62,2481. 10s. sd. over the former corresponding half-year. It comprised, however, the income from thirty-two miles of railway which were not opened for traffic in 1843. The separate receipts on the Great Western R tilway had been 332,891/. 3s. 3r1., Bristol and Exeter Railway 9i,595/. I9s. 6 1., on the Cirencester 1 ne 10,3721.

A dividend of eight per cent. was declared, after which a resclution was passed, empowering the Directors to contribute 500,000/. towards the construction of the South Wales Railway.

He called on Denis B. Kelly, Esq., J.P., and, .after communicating the atllieting circum stance, was accompanied by that gentleman to his officer, Captain Colciough. They at once gave directions to the constable to bring with him Dr..O'Connell (surgeon to the constabulary in the dis trict), to ascertain if the girl could be removed to the bride well, to await the result of the inquest. They went, and found the poor creature sitting in one corner of the wretched cabin, and the remains of her mother on the middle of the floor. She appeared perfectly deranged, and unconscious of having committed any crime. She very distinctly said she killed that " dirty thing" with a crook—" that it was not her mother at all." A car was procured, and she was taken in it by one of the sub-con stables, and lodged in the Bridewell. A coroner's inquest was held next day. Witnesses proved that the prisoner was of insane mind. The coroner then addressed the jury briefly, explained the law in rela tion to the case, that the prisoner, being decidedly of unsound mind, in sending her to trial there could be no danger of her life. The jury returned a verdict accordingly. Her committal was made out by the coroner, and next morning she was sent to Roscommon Gaol.—Athlone Sentinel.

DESTRUCTION OF TIIE PORTLAND VASE.—The young man named William Lloyd, who appeared before Mr. Jardine on Friday evening, was again placed at the bar, for final examination, charged with wilfully and maliciously destroying, with a stone, the inimitable vase in the British Museum. The vase, which was valued at 1,0001. and upwards, was described as being the property of his Grace the Duke of Portland. Sir Henry Ellis, the principal librarian, and several gentlemen connected with the Minium were en the bench. Mr. Bodkin appeared for , the prosecution. The prisoner, on being placed at the bar, appeared perfectly composed, and did not evince any symtoms of mental aberration. Mr. Burnaby, the chief clerk, addressing him, said :—When you were last brought before the Court you refused to give your name; do you now choose to give it or not ? Prisoner-1 do not wish to give my name. 11r. Burnaby, by the direction of the magistrate, then read 0 , sr th. , evidence gives by Mr. Edward Hawkins, the keeper of the tiquities in the Museum, at the former examination. Mr. Bodkin eared the prisoner if he wished to say anything to the charge preferred against him? The prisoner—l sincerely wish to say this, that Ido not wish to give my name, as it might involve other parties in my disgrace. Mr. Bodkin—Without making any mention of persons con nected with you, what have you to say to the charge of having broken the vase ? Prisoner—Only this, that I had been indulging in intemperance for several days, from the effects of which I was only partially recovered when I entered the Museum i and being consequently in a nervous state of excitement, I was afraid of everything I met with, and under such impression I acted in the manner 1 have done, and for which I was then taken into custody ; but I did not commit the act through any design or evil intention whatever towards any person. Mr. Bodkin said he had the honour to appear on behalf of the trustees of the British Museum, upon whom the painful duty devolved of prosecuting in this case on the past of hie Grace he Duke of Portland, who had kindly permitted the property in question to be placed in the Museum, for the inspection and gratification of the public. It was deemed ne cessary, since the last examination, that a medical gentleman should wait on the prisoner for tho purpose of examining into the state of his mind, and the report made left no doubt of the prisoner's sanity. It was, therefore, with a view to protect property of this description, and affording a public example, by punishing a person convicted of such a flagrant act, that the present courie was adopted. It was much to be regretted that such was the defective state of the law upon such offences, that it was difficult to meet the present charge by anything like an adequate punishment. However, it was pro. sided by the 24th section of the Wilful Damege Act, " that if any person shall unlawfully or maliciously commit any damage, injury, or spoil, to or upon any real personal property whatever, either of a public or a private nature, for which no remedy or punish. ment was therein before provided, every person being convicted thereof before a justice 'of the peace, should for,eit and pay such amount of money, as Should appear to the justice to be reasonable compensation for the damage, injury, or spoil so com mitted, not exceeding the sum of 51.;" and it would be for the Court to consider whether such words referred to the full extent of the property injured, or to the amount of tine which the justice had the power to inflict for such offence. He submitted that, whatever the intention of the Legislature might be, it clearly referred to the power invested in the magistrate, since the small amount might be more agreeable to the parties concerned than to have an action hi ought for the amount of the damage done, which in this case would be no remedy. It was conceded that the iodic. tion of such a fine was inadequate upon a subject that had de servedly caused such a general sensation, particularly as the public was now admitted to such exhibitions without the least restraint. As an instance of the defect of the law, he might refer to a Cale brought before Mr. Maltby, at Marlborough-street, some time ago, against a person for maliciously thrusting his stick through a valuable picture in the National Gallery; and the case being clearly made out, in the absence of any other mode of punishment, the delinquent was fined in the penalty of 51., or three months' imprisonment. He therefore trusted that the Court would adopt a similar course, although the damage was irreparable, in a case which was analogous, and put the law in force against the prisoner to the full extent. Mr. JARDINE, to the prisoner—You have heard what has been stated; hate you anything to say f Prisoner—Whatever punish. Tricot you feel it yollt duty to inflict upon me, I shall feel the con solation that it is really deserved. Mr. JARDINE—Are any of your friends in attendance a Pd. eoner—None whatever. Mr. Mimes said he agreed with the Learned Counsel as to the inefficient provision made in the Act for such an offence; and as he had great doubt that he had the power to adjudicate upon the subject, he would take time to Consider, and direct the prisoner to be brought up on a future day. Mr. Bodkin said, eat as the Court had a doubt upon the subject, he would reileee the Magistrate upon the point, for since the last examination it had been ascertained that the glass shade, with which the vase was covered, belonged So the trustees, and was valued at about 31., respecting which he would call a witness to aritlee, Mt, navrkins proved that the shade, which was worth about 31., the fragments of Which were lying on the door, with the frag ments of the vase, was the property of the trustees of the Museum. Mr. JARDINE said that was the most perfect and legitimate course for the trustees to pursue, and called upon the prisoner to pay the amount of the glass shade, having wilfully and maliciously destroyed it. Prisoner—l assure you, Sir, it was net done maliciously. Mr. JARRINI—In the eye of the law it was a malicious act on your part, and I cannot help, in my humble capacity, observ ing with the Learned Counsel that the Act of Parliament pro viding for such offences is very inefficient, which prevents sty era. tertaining the case respecting the destruction of the vase against you for the present; but for the destruction of the glass shade I shall put the law in full force, and order you to pay the sum of 31. forthwith, and in default be committed to b ard labour in House of Correction for two calendar months. The prisoner was then removed from the bar. -------7------- DEATH OF MR.

Journal of yesterday. FIRE AT WALIIAM-GREEN.—Just before eleven o'clock last night a fire broke . out in the basket-warehouse of Mr. Walden, at Walham-green. The premises were soon enveloped in flame, the glare of which was seen .many. miles off, and contrasted with the snow on the ground, produced a magnificent effect. A body of police of the V. division promptly arrived, but could render but little assistance, as no Ilre-engine was at hand. The fire continued to rage with fury, so that before the arrival of any engine the roof had fallen in; and when the one stationed at Fulham did arrive, it was ineffectual for a considerable time, owing to a want of water. Two other engines soon after arrived; but were not brought into play.

BY advices from Hamburgb, the price of gold is 4.34 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3. 1 , 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 9 ; and the exchange at llamburgh on London at short being 13 it follows that gold is 0.80 per cent. dearer in London than In Hamburgh. The course of exchange at New York on London is 110 i per cent. ; and the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the ex change is 0.68 per cent. in favour of England ; but the quoted exchange at New York being for bills at sixty days' sight, the interest must be added to the above difference. Some of the indications which preceded the crisis of 1825-6 are beginning to appear in the Money Market, and should not be allowed to pass without observation. Letters are constantly received denouncing the Directors of Joint-etock Companies for all sorts of irregular practices, including the formation of them with insufficient means • the withholding of shares from bona fide subscribers, and selling them surrep , titiously at a large premium at the same time ; and, finally, a resort to the old and nefarious system of " rigging," se often exposed on former occasions, which means the purchase for time of a larger number of shares than are knoern to have been issued, which subjects the sellers on the day to( settlement to such terms as the fraudulent beyers may think fit to impose. It would be unfair, perhaps, and certainly dangerous, to give publicity by name to parties against whom such imputations are directed, but it is sufficient for the Tar-. pose of further warning to the mad speculators of the day, to advert to them generally, and to observe that where such manifest temptation to such :frauds existed, it is extremely probable that they should in sonic instances be resorted to. the unwary and credulous speculator, therefore, in such transactions, who has numerous chances against him when all is fair and above-board, is certain to lose, or perhaps to be ruined, when exposed to such frauds as those described, The protection of manifest and wilful dupes is perhaps of no great consequence ; but the trade and monetary operations of the country, which are now threatened with disturbance from this cause, should be saved, if possible, from its con sequeneea, SUN.—The English securities leave off firmly, Consols being 99% N for Money, and 99 3 A % for, Account.

CHATHAM, F2B. 11.—This morning, a few minutes before two o'clock, a destructive fire broke out in Chatham dockyard. A smell of fire had been for some time previously very strong, causing the sergeants of the police on duty to examine every place minutely. They at length perceived a light between the palings of the gate which encloses the joiners' pound, filled with all eerie Pr timber. The pound is sittrated between the joiners' workshop sod the storehouse for the reception of trunnails, in which stores there was deposited about forty thousand. An alarm was immediately given, and the dockyard hells 'Winded for assistance. Before any engines could be brought into play, the fire burst:fearfully forth, and owing to the combustible Materials on the premises the flames spread with such fearful rapidity that they extended themselves from one end of the buildings to theother, nearly two hundred feet lengthways, and about four hundred in depth. The whole ofthe dockyard engines, twelve in number, were soon manned ttl three di v l ai e ns of police, consisting of three inspectors, three s e s i:eants, and forty-six men, under the directions of the Director, portenant Wise, R.N. The Royal Marines, under the command of eek 3 ne t Charles Menzies, K.H., with their engines, were quickly on thee spot, and was soon followed by the whole of the troops of the garrison, under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Kelly. The Royal Engineers, with their engine, under the command of Lieu.. tenant. Colonel Sir Frederick Smith, K.H., closely followed; aloe the Kent and the Sun engine, and notwithstanding the whole of these engines were throwing tons of water into the blazing meal of fire, the destructive element seemed to bid them defiance, sod burnt itself out. The baildings which are brick, are three stories high, and are completely gutted, nothing but the bare walls stand ing. For nearly one hour and a half the interior of the place had all the appearance of a burning furnace, and as the flames extended to a considerable height, the heavens appeared illuminated for miles round. The wind blew strongly from the north-east, carrying large flakes of fire all over the dockyard, and the extensive shed. The ship Queen, of 110 guns, In dock, being so close to the scene of destruction, fears were entertained for her safety, and the au thorities stationed engines pouring copiously streams of water. The joiners' shop, which Is entirely consumed, contained three hundred mid fifty different frames, which had been made for the ships Raleigh, Active, Bulldog steam-frigate, Eclipse, and Janus. There were upwards of one hundred chests of tools, the private property of the carpenters_ valued at 9.51. each, which are totally consumed. At present no account can be given how the fire originated. The workmen leave the dockyard at five o'clock in the evening, and as neither fire or candle is al lowed, it is somewhat surprising that fire should have retuatnod smouldering so many hours undiscoved. The water which suppliers the dockyard is from a reservoir at Brompton ; and It is calculated that, during the fire, the engines poured 14,000 tons of water ors the flames. The dockyard school, with other small buildings, are destroyed; about 60/. of books, belonging to the school, are lost. The total extent of the loss of property is estimated from 15,0001. to 20,000 i. Colonel Sir Thomas Will.hire, K.C.8., Bsrt., with Brigade Major O'Brien, of the garrison, was on the spot ; also the Captain Superintendent, Captain W. If. Sher riff. Great praise is due to the officers and troops under their command for their strenuous exertions during the c nflagra tion. The fire was subdued about four o'clock, but is still burning, and the engines are working. An express was sent this morning away from the dockyard, at six o'clock, to the Board of Admiralty. During the time of the drums beating to arms the officer command ing, Sir Michael Creigh, K.H.G., officer of the 11th Regiment, was at a grand entertainment given by the officers of the regiment, at which there were upwards of one hundred officers attending, many of whom repaired from the ball-room to the scene of destruc tion in their full dress.

MELANCHOLY DEATHS FROM POISON.—A very melancholy occurrence took place yesterday morning in toe Grove-road, Camberwell, by the accidental (as at present it appears) administration of oxalic acid, instead of carbonate of soda. From the inquiries that have been instituted, there appears to be a cowl derabletegree of Mystery involved in the transaction. The matters pertaining to the lamentable event will be hereafter investigated by proper authorities ; therefore it would at present be wrong to State more than the bare facts relating to the shocking atralr. It would appear that about half-past eight o'clock 'yesterday morning' Mr. and Mrs. Montague, who kept a cheesemonger's and sort et general shop In the Grove-lane, next to the Geor g e Canning public/- house, sat down to breakfast In their accustomed way, when Mrs.. Montague did the duties of the breakfast-table. After pouring out two cups of tea, Mrs. Montague drank one almost at draught. Mr. Montague partook of. the tea, and complained that there was something hot in the teapot; and immediately called to a young man in the shop named George May, and requested him to taste the contents of the cup. The shopmatt did its he was desired, and jocularly said to his mistress that she mast hAvg emptied the pepper-box into the teapot. He drank, however, the reiZtainder of cup, and was nearly losing' his life by so doing. In a sh'i't time Etter, the three—namely, Mr. and Mrs. Montague, and George iday the shopman, were taken ill by vomiting, when a surgeon Waif atilt for by a neighbour (the landlord of the George Canning), who nee• dentally heard of their illness), and Mr. Fox, Mr. Massey, Mr. Cock*. and other medical gentlemen attended, and applied every remedy that akin could suggest for the preservation of the lives of the petiolate The stomach-ptunp was applied, but only in one instance (that of the shOpmati) was it effectual. Mrs. Montague died in about one hour after breakfast, and her husband expired at two o'clock. Mr. Motet tague was about 62 years of age, and hifewife near 45. Thee had no issue from their Marriage, but were suppose t to live in a eorntruOale and amicable way. By what means the poison got into the teepee Is a mystery, but it is suonosed that the deceased, Mrs. Montague, bad et it there, believing It to be carbonate of soda, which she applied to soften the water. As soon as the lamentable affair became known to the police authorities, Sergeant Kendall, 1 P, took possession of the premises, and collected together the remains of the tea in the cups, the tea-leaves from the teapot, and the bread and butter that was lett on the table. From an analysis since made by the medical gentle men it has transpired that the poison contained in the teapot was oxalic acid. It may be here remarked, that Mr. Montague dealt he some few drugs, but no oxalic acid lute been found on the premienr since the occurrence. It appears that Mr. Montagu was the first to find that there was something obnoxious in the tea, and on speaking teat his wife coincided with him in opinion, but yet drank her cup of . As before stated, the husband and wife both died deepito the assistance of the medical gentlemen before named, but the shoptnan is likely to recover, being much imprOved at 11 o'clock last night. The sad affair has made a great impression in the vicinity—the de ceased being well known. It is expected the inquest will be held Ora Friday, after a post mortem examination has been made by order of the coroner. THE; SNOW STORM AND FROST.--7The snow storm which commenced on Sunday evening did not terminate: until be tween three and four o'clock yesterday (Tuesday) mondifg.

KING LOUIS PHILIPPS ON POPULATION.—WO take the following from the Glasgow Argus of January 30 : it prove. how deeldeil, is the spread of true principles on " the Population Question :"—" Another curious question which was propounded by Mr. Doubleday, in a recent treatise, also‘arises out of this. In con sequence of the imperfect registration iu Scotland, there is no means of arriving with any degree of certainty at the number of births t but if there were, it would be profitable to inquire whether, as Mr. Doubleday propounds, the births, in proportion to the population, in variably increase in years of scarcity and depression of trade. It is asserted by that gentleman that they do—find he alleges, as a proof, a fact which Dr. Buchan notices in -his celebrated work, and - which every person must have observed—that the more squalid and wretched a neighboughbod is, the greater is the number of children in it. Ms theory is, that whenever a species of animal or vegetable is threatened with extinction by a deficiency of resurisinr.er.t, natere files to the relief of the individuals and species so threatened, and increases their fecundity We should like to have tested this prin ciple, by a comparison of the number of births in this city during the years 1842-3-4 ; int in the absence of the data, we can do ne WV ) than throw out the suggestion Oar the consideration of tho h se wb• take an interest in the details of statis t ic s, and the truths t hat may be derived from them. It would, perhaps, throw some lighterka inquiry, if Dr. Watt could ascertain whether the ver fn e ; or rich increase of twin births, w hich p lac he mentions, took lave r y poo among those f am ilies—in families which had not sufficient Coed, or , mple aastename. Ills Ma which had ample, or perhaps more than a n to take great interest jests King Lows Philippe, who Is weilknoolnion of Mr. Doubleday; in this curious question, inclines to t h e p for the non-appearance of heirs en and asserted reeentil as a Pawn reintitssiihnt tJorfrd too Much.'
