THE PRACTICAL INSTRUCTOR SYSTEM.—At the meet log of the council of the Royal Agricultural Improve moot Society of Ireland, on Thursday last, a report was real by the secretary, Mr. Bullen, describing the results of his recent visit to London, to solicit from the proprie tors of land in Ireland resident in England funds towards the promction of the practical instructor system, adopted on the recommendation of the Lord-Lieutenant, and other objects of the society. The sum of 50/. was sub. scribed by Lord Fitzwilliam, and 25/. each by the Duke cf Devonshire, the Marquis of Kildare, and Sir William Somerville. The London Companies have promised to bring the subject speci a lly b efore their courts at their next sittings. Since his return to Dublin, Mr. Bullen has received a communication from the Hon. Colonel Phipps, enclosing 501. as the 2ubscription of het` Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert, " towards the fund for providing a supply of seeds for green crops, for the peasantry in the south and west of Ireland, to be distributed through the agency of the practical in struct, rs."

Six,—A printed paper has very lately fallen into my hands professing to be " A Circular of the Committee of the Annexation Association of Montreal," and to that body, through their acknowledged secretaries, it would, perhaps, be more regular to address these re marks. But the question of annexation is far too momentous to be confined to the opinions or wishes of any particular party or body of mer, however :re. spectable and important their position may be, and I prefer, therefore, Sir, with your permission, to appeal to the good sense and loyalty of every man in her Majesty's North American dominions against this mischievous attempt: s to lead them into a career that will, I think, hardly appear dishonest in itself, but little creditable to all concerned, and manifestly in jurious to the true interests of the colonists them. selves, as well as to those of their parent state. I use all these words advisedly to a party, and not to indi vidual:, who may erroneously have imagined them selves driven to the steps they have lately taken, supposing that they were acting for their country's good. Let us now examine the contents of this document to which I have alluded, and let the people of our North American Colonies pronounce an opinion, if what I am about to say appears to them as worthy of consideration. The " Annexation Circular" commences by NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAY.—Captain Horatio T. Aus tin, C. 13 , commander of the new Arctic expedition, came to this port last night to consult with Captain Sir Edward Parry. We are authorised to state that there is no foundation whatever for the report pub lished last Sunday in a local paper that Captain Austin would be knighted before leaving England. Commander Moorsom, of her Majesty's ship Ex cellent (additional), arrived at this port last night from London, and will proceed with further experi ments with his shell to-morrow. Captain Moorsom has approached nearer perfection with his projectile than any other English officer. A very beautiful model of her Majesty's yacht Fairy, with screw fixed, and in working condition, executed by Mr. Henry Horn, a shipwright in this dockyard, was placed on board the Fairy on Friday when Prince Albert crossed the Solent in her to Cowes, and his Royal Highness was so struck and pleased with the ingenuity and elegance of the work manship that he took it with him on his return as a present to the Queen.

PAYMENT OF DIVIDENDS. _ ST. JAMES'S THEATRE. FRENCH PLAYS. A new one aCioperatta, entitled L'E sclave du Camoens, was produced here on Friday evening. The plot has been rendered familiar to the English playgoers by the admirable version of it recently produced at the Olympic, under the title of The Poet's Slave; it is at once graceful, interesting, and of classical sim plicity, consisting of the exhibition of the affectionate fidelity of an Indian girl to the poet Camoens, her master, to save whom she is willing, heroically, to sacrifice herself. This simple plot has been most artistically worked out by M. St. Georges, whose libretto has been twice set to music, first by Flotow, for the Parisian public, and secondly by " M. Van der Does" (the nom de guerre of, it is said, a royal amateur), for the opera of Brussels. The ver sion of M. Vander Does was produced here on Friday evening, and succeeded a merveille, in consequence of the exquisite impersonation of the heroine by Mdlle. Charton. The music is of a rather more elaborate character than is usual in one act operas, but we have no fault to find with it on that account, as it is characteristic, and evidently the work of an accomplished musician. "We should be glad to hear that " M. Van der Does" was engaged upon the production of a grand opera, as we feel certain that his genius and accomplishments would enable him to do full justice to a subject of much greater difficulty than L'.Esclave du Camoens. The part of Camoens was sustained by a debutant, M. Henry Drayton Dorissac, a pupil of the Conservatoire. This gentleman's voice is a fine clear powerful barytone, and is well under command. He was last night dreadfully nervous, as was naturally to be expected ; but he will, no doubt, soon become accustomed to the stage, to which he is destined, we think, to be come an acquisition. M. Lac sang the music allotted to the royal lover of the slave with great taste and effect. The opera was applauded throughout its pro gress, and Mdlle. Charton was, called before the curtain at the close. It was preceded by the first act of La Dame Blanche, with Aldlle. Guichard as Jenny, and M. Lac as Georges, and was followed by Les Rendezvous Bourgeois. The house was crowded by the elite of the fashionable world. EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY.

RELIC OF MARY QUEEN OF SCOTS.—At a COD.. versational meeting of the members of the Philosophical Society in the town residence of Mr. William Murray, of Monkland, last Wednesday evening, we had the plea sure of seeing, among many interesting objects in nature and art, a curious relic of Mary Queen of Scots' which Mr. Murray has received from a lady, and which is to be permanently deposited, at the request of the donor, in the museum of the Andersonian University. It is a curious old oval watch, of considerably greater magni tude than the watches of the present day. It is made of pinchbeck, with cases like a hunting watch, and without a glass face. The dial plate is elaborately engraved, and represents apparently some continental town. It bears the maker's name, "F. La Grande." Instead of being wound up by means of a chain, a cord of catgut is used fir this purpose. A skilful watchmaker in town has examined this antique timepiece, and is of opinion, from its peculiar construction, that it must be nearly 400 years old. The watch was found in Lochleven Castle, immediately after Queen Mary's escape from her imprisonment there, and has long been in the possession of an antiquarian gentleman in that neighbourhood. The watch is still going, and its mechanism is in good order. —Glasgow Guardian. "And as uncommon things the most make common people stare, (And giants are uncommon) great Goliah shall be there!" A Gold Watch, value Ten Guineas, is offered to the person who produces the best Solution; there are two other prizes for the Second and Third-best Solutions. The readers of "The Sun" may obtain the Number which contains this interesting Enigma, and the Condi tions of the Award, by order of any bookseller, price Twopence. The competition will remain open till the 10th of April. The Editor gua rantees that the Enigma is capable of a fair Solution. The FAMILY FRIEND is published upon the Ist and 15th of each month, and enjoys a circulation of 65,000. New subscribers are ad vised to order Vol. 1., price 2e.

PLYMOUTH, MARCH 9.—The Arethusa, now in Hamoaze, and the Phaeton, now in the Sound, are two new first-class 50-gun frigates, of as great beauty and symmetry as ever floated on the water. They will probably join the Indefatigable at Lisbon, under the orders of Captain Martin, of the Prince Regent, who commands the experimental squadron on that station. The three frigates will have, as nearly as possible, the same number of men, the same quantity of provisions, the same masts, yards, sails, rigging, anchors, cables, boats, guns, and shot. The Indefatigable carries the heaviest armament of the three ; but the Phaeton and Arethusa will have armaments and equipments alike. The Arethusa has no ballast whatever, whilst the Phaeton carries upwards of two-hundred tons of iron ballast. " Wt on•street North, Strand, \...„..2&ch 4, 1850.

This work contains an accurate and complete account of tke Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs.

AWFUL DEPRAVITY.—A horrible crime has come to light at Cambridge within these few days. A Ger man Jew, named Tepper, a teacher of foreign languages i❑ the University, and who had been residing en the ChestErtor.-road, has violated his own daughter, nn in teresting child, between six and seven years of age. The miscreant lost his " dear wife," as ho called her, about twelve months ago, and soon after the crime alluded to occurred: he also subjected the child to ruffianly treat ment in other respects. Lately he engaged a f, esh housekeeper, to whom the child detailed the brutality of her parent. Through her instrumentality, Tepper was on Saturday taken into custody, and heard belcro the county magistrates. In their presence he solemnly pro 'tested his innocence; but Mr. Thurnall, surgeon, proved the capital offence to have been perpetrated, and on that charge he stands committed for the assizes. Ire is a tall, very dark, repulsive looking man, about 40, and has for a long time in Cambridge been playing the gains of the converted Jew with considerable success amongst sums generously disposed Christians.—Stamford Mercury.

SCOTTISH CENTRAL RAILWAY.—We hear that the following have been proposed for the new board of di rectors of this railway:—Hon. Mr. Dunda3, Mr. Spiers of Culdees; Mr. Campbell, of Moczie; Mr. Wilson. ma nufacturer, Bannockburn; Provost Dewar, Ballie Puller, and Mr. Wylie, factor, .13olfrack.%—Perthshire Courier. stating that " the number and magnitude of the evils that afflict our countrymen call upon all per sons to combine for the purposes of inquiry..... with a view to the adoption of such remedies as a mature and dispassionate investigation may suggest." Now, fellow-countrymen of the most enlightened empire of the world, there is not one amongst us who will for a moment, I think, maintain, or even assert, that, if there are any evils—even few in number and small in importance,—we are not all bound to examine into the causes of their existence and suggest our remedies for their correction. On this paragraph, therefore, it is quite unnecessary to detain you for a moment. The second paragraph says—" Belonging to all na tions, origin and creed we have consented to merge in oblivion all past differences of whatever character." This is well and nobly said, and surely the men who could think and write thus do not mean to exclude from their general amnesty their brethren on this side of the Atlantic. If to forgive and to forget "past differences of whatever character" is to be their future motto, they will not, surely bear hatred to their old parent, nor even remember any mistakes she may have made, or errors she may have committed, when, often herself apparently struggling for existence, and never being unkind or unjust if you will, from any desire to tyranniae. " The reversal of the ancient policy of Great Bri tain," continues this document, " has produced the most disastrous effects upon CanaJa." What has Canada alone, then, suffered, that Canada alone has the right to complain ? Have no other colonies ex perienced disasters ? Has New Brunswick escaped ? Has Nova Scotia escaped ? Have the West Indies, as true and loyal colonies as ever existed—have they escaped ? Has Great Britain herself escaped ? No, we fearlessly answer, no ; whatever may be the future result of our change of policy, the transition state is one of much pain and suffering to many an honest man, and we call at once upon the annexation party to withdraw a plea that belongs net alone to Canada. Let her case be special, if her conduct is to be extraordinary. We now return to this document. It complains of the "embarrassment of the provincial Government, the civic corporation.... of capital amassed under a more favourable system dissipated !" How so ? let us ask, and Why so soon dissipated ? The "reversal of the ancient policy of Great Britain" is but of to-day ; and has Canada already dissipated " amassed capital?" Has Canada never heard of other Governments em barrassed, other civic corporations in fault? This is childish quite. It is like the young lady who did not like the gentleman's hat, his wig, his coat. No, pro. moters of annexation, say that you do not like Eng land, as the young lady was obliged to say at last regarding the gentleman's face, or be silent, be honest, and let those you lead on your track under stand fully the road you wish to take them. This document also complains of " unrivalled rivers, lakes, and canals, almost unused ;" and then that, " unable to effect a loan with the mother country, although offering security superior to that which readily obtains money when other than colonies are the appli cants." Did I say that the attempt to produce the feeliug of annexation would appear dishonest ? I be lieve I did, and think that I have already shown that it does so ; but here, at all events, there can be no mistake, "unrivalled canals. How as to the money raised to make the I3eauharnois Canal? Shame! shamet so to abuse old England. No one can regret more than myself that the unrivalled rivers and lakes of the magnificent North American provinces are not made navigable to the foot of the Rocky Mountains —but let not all the blame be put on England. If Canada amassed capital under a " mere favourable system"—why was it not applied to the purposes of opening out that navigation—why has no canal been made as the Strait St. Mary, to allow vessels to pass from Lake Superior to Lake Huron ? Why is her amassed capital now dissipated ? Is it honest to blame England for that—and will an attempt at annexation encourage England to plant her accumu lating capital in Canada ? Will it not rather flow into the rising empire of Australasia, when she ob serves how anxious some of her children, so near home, are to get rid of her ? The annexation party are now the greatest enemies of heir country—l do not mean intentionally, but virtually so. Their document proceeds to say—" with superabundant water, however, and cheap labour, we have no domes tic manufactures." And here let me ask have not the Americans plenty of water power, and labour as cheap as in Canada ? How, then, let it be also asked, in common sense, would annexation create those manufactures which Canada has not made for herself in more favourable times ? " How can the most sanguine," this document asks, "anti cipate the advance of capital or enterprise to embark in this great source of national wealth?" and at the same time, it gives the answer itself—" except under altered circumstances." But those altered circum stances will not be a return to a system under which such domestic manufactures ;never arose—for there are none !—but must be the altered circumstances of the day—the great onward movement that has com menced, and will not be arrested. The great march of intellect and of science, does Canada mean to es cape that, and remain shut up in lonely forests ? If British capital and enterprise does not flow into Canada, it is because repudiation has once been adopted on the American continent, and by which England severely suffered ; and because she now dreads the unsteady conduct of her North American children, and fears to lend to those, who, to a superficial observer at least, appear more anxious to enter into the family of her neighbours, from whom she already bought ex perience at a fearful loss, than remain attached to their old parent, or careful even to build up a noble mansion for them se l ves . Th e " altered circumstances" must be a fir m re li ance o f the Canadians in them selves, and a well l a id ou t plan to develops the im mense resources of the magnificent country. They , must remember the fable of Hercules and the coun tryman, and put th e i r own shoulders to the wheel, and then s h e t oo may b e co vered with a " ne t wor k of railways," like her neighbours, navigable rivers and canals —more than that, she may open out to herself a noble route to the west. Aye, to the shores of the Pacific ! breanalor rail, equal, if not superior, to any route th a t th e United States can accom plish, great nation as they are! and in a m u ch shorter ti me . L e t th en the Canadians—let the people of the North American provinces, ask for the assist ance of England in such a work—let her form her companies for each particular .object. Let her ascertain and state the exact security she can give, and come b o ldl y t o th e English market and t o th e s English Gov ernmen t—show that the accumulat e d given ; glaannddcatnhobse will be the " altered e beneficially e m pl o y e d an d se a c v u in r g ity of g cir cumstances" under which our North Ameri can pro vinces may rise to be the British hyperborean king dom—the powerful and enterprising men of the north. Let her statesmen remember the words of Roebuck, with which I propose to close this first essay of my remarks on the" Annexation Circular:"— " I contemplate an extension of our dominion across the continent; the formation of new states im mediately north of Lake Superior, where copper mines of unexampled fertility have of late years been discovered. Let her statesmen feel them selves the rivals of those of Washington, and able to meet them on equal terms, and then in Nova Scotia, in Lower Canada, in Upper Canada, in the new states that might imme diately arise on their long frontier line, aid also be yond the Rocky Mountains north of the river Columbia —you would soon see their expanded views and daring conceptions, the really formidable opponents of their enthroaching republic, which is destined to swamp the whole continent unless checked and cir cumscribed by a spirit as bold and as pure as her own." Awake spirit of the north—arise, equal to the duty appointed you. Let the royal banner of civil and religious liberty be unfurled and planted from Nova Scotia to Nootka Sound, and let it be rollers j bored that " wherever Englishmen have ken sent or MR. LOVE, THE POLYPHONIST, On Monday evening last, March the 4th, 1850, we strolled into the Music-hall, Store-street, Bed ford-square, and we are thus precise in mentioning the exact time and spot, for two reasons-Ist, that our readers may not run the risk of supposing we are discussing ancient times and manners-2dly, that they who give us credit for good faith, may be in duced to follow our example, and go there to. Now, we had heard much of Mr. Love, and, indulging, as in duty bound, seeing that our years are many, and our experience in accordance with our years, a cer tain disposition to be laudator temporis acts, as Horace said, and therefore, to a , certain extent, no flatterer of the time present, nurturing and fondling sundry reminiscences of certain great ventriloquists and mimics, it was our fortune to hear and witness in our young time (for we will not follow Mr. Lore in his deep conjectures about certain oracles, and the means had recourse to by the ancients to effect the laudable purpose of catching the ear and eye of the willing multitude)—in other words, having, for instance, heard the wonderful vocal deceptions of Alexandre, and witnessed the equally admir able delusions of Charles Mathews, we were hardly disposed to believe we could smile. Be it, however, our task, as it was our fate, to admit we were mis taken ; we positively did smile, and what is more, more than once, and were forced to acknowledge that if Mr. Love's predecessors have left him little chance of being strictly original, they could not deprive him of the merit of being decidedly successful in his vocal and comic attempts, to the exclusion of all servility where he could not do otherwise than imitate. So that if we cannot make up our minds to say he does surpasi either Alexandre or Mathews in their separate eminence, he seems to us to realise something like a combination of their powers, and we deem this no slight praise. Much as we liked his delineation of various characters, much as we wondered at the facility with which he assumes totally different in tonations, and the rapidity with which he changes his outward appearance and very looks—much as we enjoyed the humours of his dialogue, and the versatility of his manner, particularly in the monologue which concludes the entertainment, we deemed his forte to be in the precise and most felicitous imitation of certain sounds. We, being instinctively a little timorous, almost shook when he chased and caught, and suffered to escape, and again chased, caught, and finally bottled up that frightful wasp or bee, we scarcely know which, whose buzziag is even now in our ears. A cold chill ran through our veins, (of all diseases that the flesh is heir to, we most dread hydrophobia) when he drove away that dreadful dog—that cow—we could see and almost feel her horns • indeed we were on the horns of a dilemma more t han once. We can scarcely say more, unless it be to recommend all who have seen either Alexandre or Mathews to hasten to Store street, or wherever they hear that Mr. Love is to be heard and seen, if only to bear us out in our opinion thus freely given ; and as for those who have heard neither the one nor the other of these great vocalists, the sooner they hear and see Mr. Love the sooner they will retrieve their loss, and acquire a little wis dom in the confirmation of the fact long since pro mulgated and averred, that seeing is not always be lieving, and that the sense of hearing may be quite as delusive; and, last of all, they will admit with Butler, vide " Hudibras" " Doubtless the pleasure is as great Of being cheated as to cheat; As lookers on feel most delight That least perceive a juggler's sleight, And still the lees they understand, The more th' admire his sleight of hand." MR. H. NICHOLL'S DRAMATIC READINGS OF SIIAKSPERE. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) We have often wondered at the fact, that while the true and legitimate drama oecasionally loses ground with the public, while with the adjuncts of music, scenery, dresser, pageants, &c., attempts at making the realization of the dramas of Shakspere popular, have in more than one instance proved futile and profitless, it suffices that a man should be found who possesses a good voice, a pleasing delivery, a sound judgment, and just so much declamation as would fit him, and hardly fit him, for an ordinary actor, to induce the public to congregate, and what is more, to subscribe for their admission, for the express purpose of hearing those very plays read in an ordinary room, before a simple desk, and without any of those adventitious aids which are naturally supposed to enhance the value of a dramatic work. Such a man as we have supposed has recently read those very plays of Shak spere to numerous and admiring audiences, and what strikes us more forcibly still, is that those plays thus read are not attracted by novelty, for they all know them, and could for the most part recite, or at least quote them, but simply by the desire—a very laudable one, no doubt —of ascertaining the real tendency of certain passages, the touches of feeling, the points which one fear s may escape ordinary read ing, the true sense of certain parts, which may require elucidation, owing to their antiquity, in other words, of seeking the perfection of a most rational s enjoyment. We are much indebted to Mr. h enry Nicholls for devoting his energies and natural taste to a pursuit which, we hope, carries its own reward with it, not only in the success which we trust will attend his efforts, but in the satisfaction he must in wardly derive from the knowledge that be must both improve the taste of his hearers and increase their admiration for their favourite poet. Perhaps, in the midst of much which we find to admire in his read ings of Shakspere, we may be permitted to recom mend him to be on his guard against whet w e con ceive a natural leaning to an excess of d ec l ama ti on , which occas ionally carries him beyond the bounds that a reader should propose to himself; and we feel the more impelled to offer this suggestion, as we ob serve such attempts are likely to earn for him much ap plause from those who, in time, map be indebted to him for a nobler appreciation of his literary (for such we consider them) efforts, and who will gain, en the score of taste, what, for a time only, he will lose in noisy tokens of their approbation. We admire him most, we confess, in those sober-minded mome nts in which he brings out, in bold, yet quiet relief, those forcible characteristics which abound in every page and at every line in Shakspere ; we commend him for leaving out certain parts which may be requisite on the stage, or may be effective there, but only retard the action during a reading ; and, lastly, we antici pate as great a treat from hearing him in his forth- BANGOR.

IRELAND. DUBLIN, SATURDAY EVENING.—ROYAL RESIDENCE IN DUBLlN.—Arrangements have already commenced for fitting up the Phcenix Park, embracing an area of some hundreds of acres, as a residence for the Queen and Royal Family, during occasional visits to this country, after the abolition of the Lord-Lieutenaney. There are in the Park at present three residences— for •the Lord-Lieutenant, and Chief and Under-Se cretaries. That occupied by his Excellency is in tended for her Majesty, but it will require consider able change and extension. It is understood that the Chief and Under-Secretaries for Ireland, to be ap pointed under the Act for the abolition of the Lord- Lieutenancy, are to remain in London during the sitting of Parliament, but they are to reside chiefly in this country in the recess. The office of Under- Secretary, it is stated, is to be permanent. On account of the increased expenditure likely to result from occasional entertainments in this city, the salaries of the Chief and Under-Secretaries are to be augmented. Amongst the public generally the announcement of the intended abolition of the office of Viceroy has produced very little sensation, and th ere i s less of discontent than might have been expected in a city where a numerous class are more or less interested in the expenditure connected with the Viceregal Court. There are many, chiefly amongst the Conservative and Orange parties, who appear to rejoice at the change ; and there are men of moderate opinions who approve of the measure, on the ground that it is calculated to produce a more effective system of government in this part of the United Kingdom, and to paralyze local factions. Four or five years ago. the mere proposal of such an arrangement would have produced a storm of agitation ; but famine and dis tress, combined with the phantom insurrection of 1848, have left no materials for a political ferment. The Northern Whig of this day refers with great satisfaction to the intended discontinuance of the office of Irish Viceroy. That journal, which fairly repre sents public sentiment in Belfast, rejoices that " there is soon to be an end to that mimic, and mock, and paltry court in Dublin, which has long been a centre of and excitement to vanities, little ambitions, endless political intrigues, and frettings, fumings, and schemings not to be counted ;" and that " we are at length to be raised from provincial degradation to imperial dignity, and the enviable position of being part and parcel of the empire." The same journal adds :—" It is most appropriate that a Viceroy so ho nourably distinguished as the present should be the last of the official race." ENCUMBERED ESTATES COMMISSION.—In the week ending vu thp 6th ivataut thirty yam petitious fvr A NAPIEBIAN ANECDOTE.—There is not mtich of novelty in the assertion that Sir C. Napier is a very ec centric general, of a very original turn of mind; but the anecdote we are temut to relate will exhibit his conduct in a most outrageously peculiar style—such as would hardly, even in the,o imitative days, find a copyist. It will be teJollccted that a few months since a young officer, Lieutenant G. Ashton, of her Majesty's 53d, was dismissed the service for being intoxicated while on duty. The Commander-in-Chief, in confirming the sen tence of the court-martial, added remarks expressive of disgust at the crime, and recorded his firm determination to visit such offences with exemplary pnnishtnent. When the result cf the coun-martial became known the mother of the unhappy young man, a woman of highly estimable character, wrote to Sir Charles Napier, and told him how that leer son, so fur from being a dissolute character, had regalarly remitted to her a considerable portion of his meagre allowances, to assist in supporting herself and his younger brothers and sisters. She said that if inquiry were made, it would be found that the crime which had ruined him in its consequences was the first instance of a departure from the rules of sobriety, and begged that some mercy might be extended to his fault in consider ation of his affectionate conduct as a son, and previous worthiness as a soldier. The reply of the Commander in-Chief disclosed his regret that these details bad net been furnished at a previous date, as a knowledge of them might have mitigated the severity of his senterace, which, however, was not too great fur the proved offence. We believe that some further correspondence followed, and which was finally wound up by the receipt, some days since, of a letter from Sir Charles Napier enclosing the price of an ensign's commission. as a donation from his private purse, the old warrior thus seeking to recon cile the claims of duty with the impulses of humanity, forfeiting to the service the privileges of a sentenced prisoner, and atoning for the hardships of justice, by at act of liberal generosity. It is the freluent task of th journalist to dwell upon instances of singular action on the part of statesmen and generals, but it is seldom that their extravagances take such a shape as this. It needs the occasional misdeeds of an Ashton to render us fully acquainted with the worth of a Napier, au illustration of the well-known axiom that misfortune is the parent of goodness.—Madras Athencrum, Jan. 8. A WOMAN POISONED BY HER HUSBAND AND SISTER.--Susan Lucas, the wife of a labourer at Castle Camps, in Cambridgeshire, expired on the 22d of February, after a very short iloo ss, in the course of which she exhibited all the symptoms of haying taken arsenic. A rumour soongot abroad that the poison had been administered to her by her husband and hersister, who were reported to be on too familiar terms, the sister re siding in the same house and sleeping in the same bed with deceased and her husband.

The evidence of the surgeon and other witnesses was taken; and the prisoners, who said nothing in their defence, were then fully committed for trial at the assixs. Lucas is about twenty-five, and the female prisoner twenty-one years of age. The latter has since made a statement to the magi s t ra t es i n con nexion with the affair, which is suppressed by desire of the bench. She also made some inculpatory remarks to the surgeon who examined her, it being reported that she was pregnant, but this fact was not established. SOUTHAMPTON, MARCH B.—The United States mail steamer Hermann, Captain E. Crabtree, arrived off Cowes, Isle of Wight, at 10 o'clock this morning, from New York, which place she left on Wedneso..., the 20th ult., a short time after the sailing of the Europa, which vessel reached Liverpool on Monday last. The Hermann has experienced very fine weather, with a fair wind, during her run across the Atlantic, and the captain reports to us that his lengthened voyage has been occasioned by the extremely bad qua lity of the coals suppl ied at New Y or k. All the efforts of the firemen could only produce a pressure in the boilers of 10lb. on the square inch, instead of 131 b. to b. , usua lly carried.
