THE HOUSE OF BOURBON. (From the Tinges.) It is announced by a telegraphich despatch from Vienna that the long expected reconciliation of the elder and younger branches of the house of Bourbon has been celebr a t e d at F rohsdorf by a formal exchange of visits between the Duke de Nemours and the Duke de Bordeaux, and we presume that the oldest surviving son of Louis Philippe must be held to have acted on this oc casion as the representative of the whole branch of the Royal family to which he belongs. Whatever may be the merits of this scheme of fusion, to which more im portance has been attached than it really deserves, it is gratifying that princes so nearly united by blood and so closely identified by their misfortunes shouid have agreed to bury in oblivion differences connected altogether with the history of the past, and to put an end to that divi sion of the Royal Family of France which contributed, with other causes, to the total subversion of the monarchy. They quarrelled,. unhappily for themselves, as long as they had anything to quarrel about, and nothing but exile and a common fate has now brought them together. But this even, terminates that scandalous spectacle of rival parties in the same family bidding against one another for the national favour, and allowing the divisions of their re• spective adherents to weaken still further the cause of the Crown. Personally, we have no doubt that the reconciliation is hailed with great satisfaction by both branches of the family, and, whatever may be the future destiny of their house, it is seemly that they should meet it or endure it together. The Orleans branch was raised to the throne by one revolution and deposed by another. The interval was a period of unexampled freedom and the ren reign dered of Louis that Sovereign to his country, created no rights and left f ew t races in prosperity spite of t t o he F greatra c e. services But behind it. The Orleans princes had nothing to reno unce , and in losing the throne they were restored to their natural position towards the head of their family. This reconciliation is, therefore, no more than the recognition of a st a t e o f thi ngs w hi c h a l rea d y ex i s t e d, an d th e honourable extinction of those feelings of resentment which mutual injuries in former times had left behind them. It changes in reality nothing, and it can hardly France. be said to alte r th e pos i t i on of any i mportant par t ies in Indeed, if we regard this occurrence with satisfaction, it is not from any exaggerated conception of its political importance, but because at this moment it can scarcely be considered to have any serious political meaning or effect. The Duke de Bordeaux and the sons of King Louis Philippe have adhered inflexibly to one rule of conduct. They have not conspired, they have not kept up any system of agitation hostile to the Government of France, they have not courted the support of foreign Powers, and, whenever they have expressed an opinion on passing events, it has been publicly, and without disguise. We know not if the pretenders of Frohsdorf and of Claremont are regarded with apprehension at St. Cloud, but certainly never were fewer efforts made to defend a political cause ; and the resignation of these Princes to a fate which, as far as they are concerned, is certainly a hard and undeserved one, is only exceeded by their confidence in that mysterious course of events which can alone heal the breach between them and the French people. The day may come, they appear to think, when France will not disown the liber ties for which she once so ardently contended, and when the stability of her Government will once more depend, not on the energy of despotic power, but on the strength of legal rights. Had they chosen to stake their cause on the hazards of civil war, or on some dar ing political adventure, opportunities were not wanting in the troubled months which followed the Revolution of 1848, when the people eagerly rallied round the first name which promised them a refuge from the storm. But they stood aloof from that temptation, and their only course is patiently to await the results of the ex periment the French nation has since thought proper to try. It would be the height of absurdity to connect the fusion which has just taken place in the house of Bourbon with any scheme for the overthrow of the pre sent Government, or any designs against the tranquil lity of France. There are, indeed, in Paris a set of retired statesmen and disappointed politicians, who cannot obliterate from their minds and from their habits impressions derived from the Parliamentary era that constitutes the best portion of their lives. To them the formation of what has been termed " the party of the fusion" has been a sort of pastime and pursuit, reminding them of the combizia tions in which they once excelled ; but, now thatthe fusion is accomplished, we question it the most zealous pro moters of it could inform us to what practical political object it can be turned. They are perfectly aware that to the bulk of the French people the Bourbons of Frohsdorf and the Bourbons of Claremont are subjects of as much indifference as Louis XVIII. while he lived at Mittau or Hartwell. That people worships but one idol at a time, though it must be confessed that it changes its faith pretty frequently. But, as long as the state of things lasts which has consigned France to Louis Napoleon and absolute power, the regrets of statesmen who have ceased to play a part in the world, the disaf fection of polite society, and even the fixed aversion of all that is highest, noblest, and best in the land, will not materially accelerate the fall of the Imperial dominion. Like all fancy Governments, sprung out of the emer gencies of a revolution, the empire commands for a time the absolute subjection of the country in a higher de gree than any form of Government which the nation has not just called into being ; but with its novelty the essence of its power declines, and it is the fate of such Governments to be all-powerful with one generation, but powerless over the next. Legal rights, and especially the legal rights of hereditary monarchy, are less universal and exclusive in their sway than the caprices of elective Governments ; but the experience of all mankind favours the belief that this law of descent is, upon the whole, one of the best safeguards of a nation. The French people, how ever, have shown in the last sixty years that they have little or no respect for this principle, and in the free exercise of their national power they have repeatedly set it aside. They are the sole judges of what concerns them, and it is perhaps of little importance to the rest of Europe whether they discard it for every or whether they revert to it. Certainly no other power 'but their own free choice will ever again affect to restore it ; and that choice can only be so directed by great calamities arising out of the opposite cause, which we sincerely hope not to witness. But those Princes who by their birth and station are the natural representatives of this legal right have a clear duty to perform. They owe it to the name they bear, and to the services they may one day be called upon to render, to maintain the dignity of their position and the union of their family. Whatever be the power of Louis Napoleon, it is still a power with out a future, and a reign without a successor ; and ancient monarchy of France, it would be rash to affirm form mn h o w e e x a p c n k e n ta o t w io l n ed s g f e or no tn p o r s e e dile w c h ti o on, re a p n ro d se we t can e that among the unknown changes of futurity some tide may not again float the vessel now thrown so high upon the shore. ( From the Morning Herald.) An event which was announced in the morning papers of yesterday, as mentioned in a telegraphic despatch from Vienna, is one likely to be observed without much attention, and to pass rapidly from our recollection, pre occupied as we are with the aggression of the Czar on the Turkish Empire. And yet the union of the two branches of the house of Bourbon may be intimately connected with the Eastern question, and may be destined to have a very important effect on its result. It is not to be supposed that so astute and active-minded a politician as the Emperor Nicholas, should have been standing idly by during all the time that has elapsed since the failure of Prince Menschikoffs mission, quietly waiting for the next event which should be cast uppermost on the wheel of fortune. In so long delaying his answers to the propositions made to him, he cannot only have meant to show indifference as to the result or contempt for the persons from whom they emanated. It is pretty certain that his apparent moderation was pre-determined, and the seeming dilitoriness and inaction of his generals the result of design. We have often suspected that he would not be sorry if some circumstance should arise to make the understanding between England and France less cordial, or to occupy one of these countries so seriously as to force it to withdraw its attention altogether from the Levant. May he not have been attempting to produce such a condition of affairs ; and if so, none could be better suited to his purpose than one which concentrated in a single individual the rival pretensions of two families to the throne of his most energetic opponent. We have often been told that this union had been accomplished, or was about to be so immediately ; and yet it has hitherto always failed. It was not a little extraordinary that it should have failed, for its advantage, its necessity, indeed, for the success of the Bourbons in France, was so obvious. This is, however, probably owing to the fact, th a t, f or the last few years, th e chief object with all the courts of Europe has been to put as end to revolution and every thing which might lead to insurrection ; and it was easy, by means of court intrigues, to prevent an arrangement the first consequence of which would have been the outbreak of a civil war in France, which is ever the sig nal for insurrection in all Europe. But their obj ec t s are no longer the same ; and these powers are now ab sorbed in the state of affairs in the East ; whil e a ll th ose 1 influence w el i y, th are the two h courts br awnhciceheof the are likely to houseof have m Bourbon not only indifferent to the fate of Turkey (for the Sul tan is unfortunately cousin to none of them), but are most ready to do whatever is agreeable to their " big brother" Nicholas ; and still more are they anxious that he should receive no check, nor suffer the slightest loss of influence or reputation. So that now, instead of throwing obstacles in the way, they have encouraged the reconciliation of the Dukes de Bordeaux and de Ne mours ; for then Legitimists and Orleanists may unite against Louis Napoleon, who has proved himself so well worthy to be Emperor of France. One result would certainly be thereby gained, for the attempts of the par tisans of those two houses would give so much and such serious occupation to the French Emperor, that it would be impossible for him to afford succour to the Turks ; and their success could not but give the greatest satis faction to the numerous courts with which they are related. But such an event will be by no means so satisfactory to Englishmen. We shall not be over anxious to wel come to the throne of France the representatives of a family who have always been our bitter enemies, not withstanding the many benefits they have received from us and our country, though with a certain class of minds, indeed, the burden of an obligation is sufficient to cause enmity to the benefactor. Our only wish for our gallant neighbours is that they should be peaceful and prosperous ; but they will not have much reason to expect e ither b en efit while ruled over by a family whose women, indeed, may be heroes, but all whose men have more than once proved them selves women. Can princes bring prosperity to a nation if they Are 4.;) cowardly as W abandon their WiTes and sisters to the tender mercies of a Paris mob. Can they who dared not strike one blow to retain a throne be worthy to fill it, or capable of winning it ? There is some comfort in the thought that they are not likely to succeed, but that very circumstance would increase their guilt if they made the attempt. Our history shows the many evils entailed by the efforts of an exhausted, effete race, such as were the Stuarts, and as are the Bourbons, to re g ain the throne they have forfeited by misgovern ment, and we sincerely hope they may be spared to our neighbours. Those days are past for us, we trust never to return ; may we not witness the like in France ! That country has undoubtedly been secured several years of tranquillity and progress by the masculine and saga cious rule of the present Emperor. We may, perchance, regret that his power was founded on violence, though it may be that those acts were necessary to the cure of the ills from which the country had long been suffering. But now there is no such excuse or necessity ; and he who throws the nation into trouble for his own selfish ends will, whoever he may be, and whatever his descent, deserve the punishment certain to fall on numbers o; his victims ar.d accomplices, though he, the chief and author of all, may escape. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. CARMARTHEN AND CARDIGAN. A public meeting was held on Monday at Cardigan to promote the formation of a line of railway on the broad gauge, from Carmarthen to this town, and the construc tion of a harbour of refuge in Cardigan bay. The MAYOR (Mr. Davis) took the chair, and adverted to the disadvantages which the port had long laboured under from the want of railway communication. At present they might be said to be cut off from the other parts of the kingdom. The position of the harbour and bay presented many facilities for developing a large amount of traffic, which could not fail to be productive of much) good to the principality. It was, therefore, with some consid era bl e satisfaction that he had seen the scheme taken up in the spirited manner it had been. The harbour of refuge would be of paramount import ance, not only in a commercial but in a national point of view. Mr. FITZWILLIAM then went into a lengthened detail of the character and route of the propoied railway, and extent and position of the harbour of refuge. Having explained the great source of traffic to be found in the mineral district through which the line would run, he alluded to the harbour, and the strong probability of a line of packets being put on between the principal Irish ports and that of Cardigan, which was several hours nearer to London than by the way of Holyhead. He had no doubt of the success of the undertaking, and he trusted for the prosperity of the neighbourhood that it would be carried out. _ _ Mr. LLOYD then moved the first resolution, to the effect " That in the opinion of this meeting, the Cardi gan and Carmarthen Railway and Cardigan Harb our Improvement Company merits the support of the town and corporation of Cardigan, as also of the farmers, landowners, and others interested in the prosperity of the principality ; and this meeting pledges itself to promote the objects of the company by supporting the undertaking to the utmost of their power.' He bore strong testimony to the advantages which would result from the proposed extension of the railway from Car marthen. Mr. JONES seconded the resolution, which was adopted, as were other resolutions in favour of the scheme. It was stated that 250,000/. had been subscribed in the principality towards carrying out the scheme, and that meetings were held last week at Carmarthen and Newcastle, at which resolutions were adopted fully ap proving the undertaking. FENCHURCH-STREET STATION. This station, which has been erected partly on the site of the old terminus of the Blackwall Railway in Fen church-street, was opened for public traffic on Monday. At present it is only used by the Blackwall and North- London (Camden-town) trains, those from the Eastern Counties and Tilbury (Gravesend) lines not being brought there until the works now in progress are completed, widening the Blaekwall Railway from Fenchurch-street to the Haydon-square junction. The works have been examined and approved by Captain Simmonds, the Go vernment inspector. BRISTOL AND EXETER. Some time since an action was brought against this company for the extra fare which they had demanded of a passenger, who was compelled to return by au express train after he had taken an ordinary return ticket. The judge then ruled, that as nothing was said, either on the placards distributed about the station, or on the ticket, that anything extra was to be paid for express trains, they were not justified in demanding it. Since that de cision the company have issued fresh handbills, in which they have inserted that the return fares mentioned on them are for " ordinary " trains only. LIVERPOOL HIGH LEVEL. A novel plan is proposed for the construction of a high level railway for goods and passenger traffic in con nexion with the Liverpool Docks, running four miles along the river frontage, 20 feet above ground, on iron columns, and uniting with the various railways having their termini in Liverpool. Four line of rails are pro posed, and the railway, warehouse cranes, and other re quirements may, it is calculated, be constructed for about 1,000,000/. GREAT WESTERN AND SOUTH WALES RAILWAY.— The Parliamentary notices in respect to these companies do not disclose the precise relations intended, nor the terms under which the valuable assistance of the one is to he accorded to the other. These are not yet defini tively arranged. The more rapid completion of the works is the chief object aimed at, so that the capital already expended may be brought to a profitable bearing as early as possible. We doubt not the two parties will therefore speedily place themselves in a position by which both may be benefited without detraction to the interests of either.—Railway GRAND TRUNK OF CANADA RAILWAY.—The reports, to be found in another column, of Mr. W. Chapman, the secretary, and of Sir Cusack Roney, the managing di rector, will he read with peculiar interest. After so much discussion as has recently taken place on the merits of the undertaking, and the conduct of the directors in reference to the Great Western of Canada, the official reports will be very acceptable. The works are re ported to be proceeding well, the prospects of a remu nerative dividend are shown to be good, and on the question of the "aggressive" policy of the company, Sir Cusack has the following paragraph, the tone ' of which does not certainly in the least degree indi cate the insane animosity some time ago imputed to the management. " The question that has arisen between this company and the Great Western is one which the directors deeply regret. No act of aggression was ever committed or contemplated by the company ; and the directors can with confidence refer the proprietors to the statement which they have lately laid before the public. The matter may now be considered to be in course of arrangement, as it is understood the representatives of both companies will agree, if necessary, to leave all matters of difference to the decision of Mr. Robert We have every reason for believing that Stephenson. the charge of the Great Western was a mistake."--- Berapath's Journal. THE EASTERN UNION AND THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY.-- The Ipswich, Express states the nature of the I arrangement which has been agreed upon by these com. panies. The directors of the Eastern Union have con sented to accept a seventh of the gross receipts of the two railways, subject to a reduction of 461, per cent, for expenses. The stock of engines, carriages, &c,, of the Eastern Union is to be taken by th e Eastern Counties at a valuation, consequently the whole line will be worked by that company. It is calculated that by this agree ment the ordinary shareholders of the ny comp . who have for years received no di v id end, will have for the future lf. per cent. upon their investments. A similar proposition of one-seventh of the receipts has been made to the Norfolk Company, and will probably ac cepted. When acce ted. When these ar rangements are completed, it is to be pre sumed that a complete amalgamation of companies will follow. NORTH METROPOLITAN RAILWAY.--This company has given notice of application to Parliament in the ensuing session for power to abandon the portion of the autho rised line west of a point opposite St. James's Church, Paddington, and, in lieu thereof, to extend the railway from St. James's Church to the south end of Eastbourne terrace. Also, to make a branch near Praed-street and Sale -street to the Great Western Railway, near the Paddington station. It is also intended to apply for power to extend the authorised line from Battle-bridge to the General Post-office, and to make branches to the London and North Western and Great Northern Rail ways, to appropriate portions of burial grounds near the site of the intended railway, and to divert sewers, drains, &c., with power to purchase land and other property for stations, and to authorise the Great Western Railway Company to subscribe towards the undertaking. It 18 intended to ask for power to make traffic a rranzem . ents with the North London, the London and North Wester*, the the Eastern Counties, the Great Northern, an companies, to raise a further sum of 3 n le e t y ;opo Titan and to change the name of the company to the Railway Company." • ANOTHER ACCIDENT ON THE NORWICH LINE. —On Saturday night, a train from Norwich, containing several uundred passengers, met with an accident about a mile and a half before arriving at the Forneett station, by the hreaking of the engine. Great consternation was created among the passenge rs b y the fact being coin . municated that a cattle train was in the rear. The dreadful effects of the late accident on the Dublin line came vividly to their minds, and they all got out of the train and escaped to the top of the embankment. Here they remained a considerable time, but by the prompt meas ures taken by the guard and officer!, , the cattle train was prevented f ro m approaching, thereby ' avoiding a collision. .. .. . PRODUCTION OF COTTON IN PARAGUAY.- --In the be ginning of the present year Mr. GeorgeW. Drabble went out to the South Americanpr the provinces, ca rr yi ng w ith hi m l e tters procured by the Mancheste r C ommerc i a l Asso ciation, and charged with duty of ascertaining the capabilities of that part of the world for the prodnction of cotton, as specimens from Tucuwan, one of the in terior provinces, were last year shown in Manchester, and reported upon favourably. It seems, by a letter received :from Mr, .Drabble, that ther e i s abu n dant fa cility for the extension of the growth of a good staple of cotton, b u t t h at the want of labour will be a great though obstacle i n th e way, even -that difficulty, Under the superintendence of an active man, might be over- COMO. --- THE DESPERATE ATTEMPT TO MURDER IN LAMBETH. Yesterday Philip Grinney, a coach wheelwright, who has been in custody since the 24th of last month on a charge of having attempted to take the life of his wife, Hannah, by cutting her throat, was placed at the Lam beth police bar, before the Hon. G. C. Norton, for anal examination. Mr. Solomon attended on behalf of the accused. The first witness called was Mr. John Penfold Morris, a pupil and house surgeon at Guy's Hospital, who de posed that on the morning of Monday, the 24th of last month, Mrs. Hannah Grinney was brought to that hos pital. On examining her he found a wound of about four or five inches in length across the front of her throat. There were also two other wounds, one in an upward and another in a downward direction, and all could not have been inflicted with one cut. They were incised wounds, but did not appear to have been in ' flitted with a very sharp instrument, as the edges were somewhat jagged. A small quantity of blood was oozing from one of her ears, and there was a slight contusion on one of her cheeks, but both those injuries might have been caused by a fall or a blow. Both her hands were severely wounded, particularly the right hand, which had not yet got well, and she would lose the use altogether of one of her fingers on that hand. She re mained under his (witness's) care from that time to the present, and at no time was her life in dang er. The prison e r's unfortunate victim, wh o who hoha s d eem be s en a brought f rom th e h os pital in a cab, and very respecthble, good-looking, and matronly female, about 36 years of age, was here sworn and deposed as follows :—I am the wife of the prisoner, and at the time of this unfortunate transaction lived with him and my children at. No. 35, Park-street, Bennington-cross. On the night of Sunday, the 23rd of October (my hus band has on many other occasions made use of violent threats towards me), when going up stairs to bed he told me that my time was short, and that I had better prepare myself. We went to bed, and at about two in the morning we were aroused by a knocking at the door, and we learned from my daughter, who slept down stairs, that the parties knocking were a young man in the service of my brother, and Henry Lee, who wished to come in and lie down for a short time. My daughter got up, and my husband took a bed down stairs to Lee and the other young man, and both lay down, but were called and let out of the house by my husband at four o'clock on the same morning. On returning up stairs, I observed my husband go to where his trousers were, and observed him do something to the pockets, but his back being towards me I could not distinctly see what. He then came into bed, mid I distinctly heard him say " It's too early yet '• " and from hi s manner and cond uc t a lt oge th er I felt alarmed, and had a great desire for the time to get up. Having to go to my sister's that morning, I got up soon after six, and went downstairs, leaving my husband in the bedroom. He came downstairs and joined me in the back room, and while I was dressing I called out to him and asked what o'clock it was, and he replied " It's close upon seven, my dear," and came close to me on my left side. I was in the act of putting my brooch into the front of my dress, when my husband, who had his right hand in his trousers pocket, pulled out a black-lrandled table. knife, and exclaiming "Now is the time" (uttering an opprobrious epithet), and instantly grasped me by the back of the neck with his left hand, commenced cutting my throat. He gave me one cut before I could protect myself, and inflicted the larger wound in the upper and front part of my throat. I raised my hands to p rotect myself, and having got hold of the knife by the blade, succeeded in getting it out of his hand, and threw it away. He then laid hold of me by the hair and dragged me across the room into the passage, and forced me on the ground. He here drew a second knife from his pocket—the same trousers pocket from which he had taken the first, and again commenced cutting at my throat. He endeavoured to cut me on the left side downwards, but I struggled very violently with him, and called to my daughter to open the par lour window and cry out for assistance, as my hus band had secured the door. I was fortunately enabled to defend myself by putting my hands up, and thus pre vented my throat from being cut. As my daughter Was passing us to get into the parlour, my husband made a desperate thrust at her back with the point of the knife, and if she had not fortunately stumbled at the instant the knife must have gone through her, as she had nothing on at the time but her chemise, and when he saw her open the window, he exclaimed in a savage manner, "I'll pay you for this." I here, by great exer tion, succeeded in ge tti ng th e secondknife from my husband ; but in accomplishing this I received some severe cuts on my hands, and threw it away also. I threw it into the passage. When deprived of this knife my husband forced the tops of his fingers into my throat, and not only endeavoured, but succeeded, in tearing them larger. My husband by some means got a third knife, and having succeeded in dragging me into the front parlour, and dragging my head towards the cupboard, must have, in my then exhausted state, suc ceeded in cutting my throat, had not as-istance at that moment arrived and released me from him. I then ran out as far as the front gate, and have no recollection whatever of what occurred until I found myself in the hospital. Mr. Norton —What sort of knives were these ? Witness—Black-haadled table knives. Mr. Norton—Where were they kept ? Witness—ln a table drawer in the back parlour. Mr. NorZ.on—Had your husband an opportunity of going to the place where they were kept on that morning ? Witness—Oh yes, sir, he had an opportunity of going there when he went down stairs to call Lee and the young man, and let them out. Mr. Norton--Can you say where your husband got the third knife ? Witness—No, sir. My opinion was that he might have picked up the knife just took from him, but it ap pears that three had been used. The officer engaged in the case here produced three black-handled dinner-knives, each of which was deeply tinged and covered with gore. Mr. Norton (to Mrs. Grinney)—Had any other con versation passed between your husband and yourself than you have stated on the morning of this desperate attack on you ? Mrs. Grinney—Yes ; I recollected his asking m e if the youth Tom and Lee were not in the front room ; and I said, "Why Philip, you must he foolish to talk so. You know you let them out at four o'clock." He then said, "We are all alone now." And I re. plied, " Well, there are as many as are wanted ' • there are you and I and our three children." Immediately upon this it was that he said, "Now is the time, you —," and commenced the attack on me. The witness here went into a lengthened statement of the conduct of her husband towards her, produced in a great measure, as it appeared, from his jealousy not only of Lee, but her own brother. On one occasion, when the prisoner was accompanying her to the house of her br.,ther, the neighbourhood of Soho-square, and while passing along Earl-street, Seven Dials, ho asked her to accom• pany him to a brothel, and on her refusing to do so, and expressing her disgust at his conduct, he said it was quite clear to him that her brother, Lee, or somebody else had had that which he should have had. He had also declared he should take the life of her brother, and should also have his revenge of Lee ; that he had pur chased powder and balls some time ago, and had priced a pistol. In conclusion the witness said that there was only one thing which she regretted, and that was not having had her husband taken up 16 months ago, when he stabbed her in the head with a pocket knife. The prisoner's daughter corroborated much of the tes timony of her mother; and the two men Smith and Low, who had fortunately come to the rescue of Mrs. Grinney just in the nick of time, declaredtlaitwhen theynie in inter feredf the prisoner was stabbing his w i fe with a knife was a t the.and station house when the throat just in the same way that a butcher would a. sheep. producedht there he said that oneSe rj ea whennt Hughesthe prisoner depos e d was were that es h r 0 u h g e two of the bloody knives w had been used by his wife and othertheir being e ih b y o d himself, and l l e this was the cause, hesaid,of gso y. is intention, after killing her, to also said that it was h cut his own throat, a nd expressed a hope that she was dead, for then he should be happy to be hanged for her. b w y as th t e o t p h r e iso e n ff e e r ot on ti t l l a i t e fi h r is st w ex if a e, - The statement d mad l e t mination was rea . on the night in q uestion . , hadleft him to sleep with L ee and the other person down aosnidshe should leave and t h h im at toonlivtheewfiotlh lowing morning she those she woo e d d w b h e t e t r e o r sthhea was going to, that h s h e r e e shheo shouldn l eav e any r hear o more about her. n The wife did not contradict this statement except by if he wished to put g e i‘ s tfirc.o Norton a t o i r t o n o s n a nd shaking as kedhersol Solomon any questions to the witnesses, or had any observation to make. Mr. Solomon replied not ; ho should merely -request his worship to order the prisoner's furniture to be de livered up, so as to enable him to defend himself. The man Lee, he said, who had more to do with the unfor tunate affair than it would be prudent to disclose, had been dealing with the furniture, and removed it from the prisoner's late residence. Inspector Carter said that by desire of Mr. Elliott he had made some inquiries on the subject, and found that nearly the whole of it belonged to the prisoner's bro ther in-law. The prisoner was then committed for trial at the Central Criminal Court. There was one thing most remarkable in the proceed ings, and that was that during her lengthened examina tion Mrs. Grinney did not, from beginning to end, be tray the slightest emotion, and her daughter, a keen looking girl of 18, sat by her side all the time, and appeared as if the dreadful details referred to the most common-place affair ; and even the prisoner heard the evidence with the utmost nonchalance. POWDER MILL BLOWN UP.—FIDE MEN KILLED. — A shocking accident occurred in Spencer on Friday. The. powder mill of Lewis Bemis, known as the Corning Mill, and situated about one mile from the village, wasi blown up about half-past nine o'clock in the forenoon„ killing five men. The names of the kflled are Henry. Avis, foreman, Englishman, 22 years old, no family Richard Avis, his brother, 33 years old, had a wife and one child ; Robert Perkins, Englishman, 30 years old,, no family ; George Swallow, Englishman, 25 years old, had a wife ; John Laflin, Irishman, teamster, 25 yea rs old, no family. He was blown into fragments. Th ree were found under the mill in the water ; Swallow in a, potato-field 40 rods from the mill, with one leg blown off; and the other a short distance from the mill. Thera was a horse and waggon close by the mill. The waggon was blown into fragments, and the horse knocked down„ but not killed. There were 50 kegs of powder in the m ill. This is-the second trill of Mr. Bemis which has been blown up within two montb.l o .—Siri ng f te w (m a t o Rep abkara. PREFERENCE SHARES Aberdeen Do., No. 2, 7 p. c Blyth & Tyne 10 per ct. pref.

Con ner, are in custody at Leeds, on the charge of - a very daring street robbery, committed on Saturday afternoon. Mr. Edmonds, chief clerk of the Leeds gas works, was on his way home on Saturday, and when in Pontefract lane he was set upon by three men, who first seized him by the throat, then knocked him down, and robbed him of 2/. 2s. in money, a silver pencil•ca,se, and some other articles. Mr. Edmonds was found afterwards in a state of insensibility, and is still seriously ill. The prisoners, who are residents in the locality of the gas works and Pontefract-lane, were brought up at the Leeds Court. house yesterday, but in consequence of Mr. Edmonds being unable to appear they wore remanded until Middy. 100 100 100 6 100 St. 20 12i St 12i 12i 25 123 121 St. St. St. St. St. St. 20 15 8 10 10 25 10 1.0.6 all 10 100 1.00 100 100 100 100 all 100 15 all all all 10 all 14 all all 13.5 24i 1 10 1 1 5 25 20 10 20 10 20 35 10 22 1 ► all all 50 50 100 100 20 50 20 25 100 Pm Pm 13i 20,1 1231 1001 100 99 8 7 91 I 3 1391 1041 li i 2 2 1 is 824 5 li 2 454 644 31 II I i l'i i i i 51 i birb Ilibittonf SUN OFFICE, Six o'Clock. AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE STEAM-SHIP ARCTIC. (BY MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH.) (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY. This forenoon the United States Mail steam-ship Arctic, Captain Lane, arrived in the Mersey, with the usual mails from the United States and British North America. The Arctic sailed from New York on the 12th inst., and has brought, besides the mails, 82 pas sengers, and 400,000 dollars in specie on freight. At the departure of the Arctic business had as sumed a more healthy aspect, and the tightness in the Money Market was less severe than reported hi previous advices. Stocks were higher and firmer, their former unsteadiness having disappeared. The cotton market was quiet, but firm. The re ceipts at the various ports were very moderate, and far below the average of last season. The advices from this country and the conti nent, taken out by the America, had a marked effect on the market for bread-stuffs, and caused a decided rise to take place in the value of the diffe rent articles embraced under this head. Large sales were effected at the advance. The provision market continued to exhibit the same quiet character it has maintained of late, with prices unchanged from last quotations. Freights were inactive at the following quota tions :—London— flour per bol. 4s. 6d. to ss. ; grain per bush., 16d. to 16d.; b eef per tierce, 7s ; to bacco per hhd., 60s. To L verpool—cotton, 7-32 d. to id. per lb. ; flour per b 1., 3s. 9d. ; grain per bush., 124 d. to 13id. Exchange on London was quoted at 109 to 1091; Paris, 5.124 to 5.15. STATE OF TRADE. (Front the Manchester Guardian of this day.) MANCHESTER, Nov. 22.—The accounts given of the yarn market by different parties are somewhat conflict ing to-day ; some state that they have done more busi ness at last week's prices —others (speaking of similar articles) say they have fonndless disposition to purchase. We believe that there has been a partial increase of small purchases, evidently for present wants from home con sumers ; and India qualities of 40's and 50's mule, parti cularly the former, have been saleable at previous rates. But the general characteristic of the yarn market is that of unrelieved dulness. The diminished production, however, prevents the want of demand from forcing down prices ; so that, although a slight weakness may show it self in some few things, a general firmn ess i s f oun d to pre vail in the medium and lower counts of mule and water. The flatness is greater in goods than in yarns. The en tire suspension of so large a part of the production has undoubtedly prevented prices from sinking very much lower, as +hey otherwise would have done; but it does not induce either foreign merchants or home dealers to venture upon speculative purchases ; indeed, the latter are not keeping up a moderate assortment for cur rent wants. The consequence is, that accumulations of stock are taking place. Prices remain nominally un changed. ROCHDALE, Nov. 21.—We have had but a slack mar ket ; and notwithstanding the firm price of wool, the merchants were offering less for flannels, and in nume rous instances it was taken. Wool maintains its prices, but there is little doing. HALIFAX, Nov. 19:—The worsted trade in our piece hall is still in a very unsatisfactory state. The demand is exceedingly limited, and prices are quite unremu ner ttive. The aspect of the yarn market has under gone no noticeable change. The spinners are compelled to curtail their operations ; and they feel that, with the present price of the raw material, lower rates can. not be acceded to. As the goods in the hands of the staplers are low, the money market somewhat easier, and the rates asked by the growers very high, wool has rea lised an advance ; but the transactions are not extensive. HUDDERSFIELD, Nov. 22.—There has been a better demand for goods to-day than last week, although there has not been any large quantity sold. Merchants have generally offered prices that the manufacturers were un willing to take, as the reduction would have been more than the recent fall in the price of wool would admit of. A. fair business has been done in some of the wool ware houses. SYMPATHY WITH TURKEY. The following letter has been received from the Otto man Ambassador by the gentleman to whom it is ad dressed in reference to the recent meeting at Man , chester " Itryanstone-square, Nov. 18, 1853." "Sir,—l beg to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 17th inst., inclosing the resolutions of a meeting held by the inhabitants of the city of Manches ter on Wednesday last, November 16, at the Corn Ex change, and it will be my agreeable duty to transmit the same to my government. On such a pleasing occasion I am happy to express, on behalf of my government, as well as on my own part, our grateful sentiments for the entire sympathy manifested by the inhabitatits of so great and influential a city towards bis imperial majesty the Sultan and the Ottoman nation in the cause of justice and right they are defending. "I have the honour to be, &c., " C. 18ru4isunus." " A. Watkin, Esq., J P., Manchester." The following is Lord Aberdeen's reply to a commu nication informing him of the resolutions passed at Man chester "Downing-street, Nov. 21, 1853. " Sir,—l am desired by Lord Aberdeen to acknow ledge the receipt of your communication of the 18th inst., submitting certain resolutions unanimously agreed to at a very numerous meeting of the inhabitants of Manchester publicly convened and assembled in the Corn Exchange, on Wednesday, the 16th inst.—l have the honour to be, sir, your obedient servant, "Absalom Watkin, Esq." CLINTON G-. bAWKINS. MARKET NEWS--(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. To-day's market was very moderately supplied with English wheat. On the whole a fair average business was transacted in that grain, at fully Monday's prices. The imports of foreign wheat have exceeded 16,000 quarters. For country consumption there was a steady inquiry, and the quotations were well supported. In floating cargoes, next to nothing doing. Barley and malt sold slowly, at the late decline. The supplies were tolerably good. The supply of Irish oats was large, yet the oat trade ruled steady, at full prices. Beans, peas, and flour were unaltered in value.

The demand for all kinds of hops has become very dull, and to effect sales, lower prices must be accepted. LORD BROUGHAM.—Doctor Seve, of Cannes, has ad dressed the following letter to the Union du Var : "In a former number of your estimable journal it is stated that 'Lord Brougham appears to have retired from public life, and to have fixed his residence at Cannes, in order to devote himself to the care of his broken constitution.' It is my duty, as the physician of the Brougham family at Cannes, to correct an error calculated to afflict the numerous friends of the noble lord and the entiro scientific world. Never did Lord Brougham enjoy more perfect health d ur i ng t h e twenty years which he has visited our country." THE GOLD MARKET.—The qu o t a ti on o f go ld at P ar i s is about 3 per mine discount (according to the last tariff), which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25.091; and, the exchange at Paris on London at short being 24.971, it follows that gold is about 0.48 per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from Ham burg the price of gold is 420 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 101 d. per ounce for stan dard gold, gives an exchange of 12.28 ; and, the ex change at Hamburg on London at short being 13.1, it follows that gold is 0.65 per cent. dearer in Hamburg than in London. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 1091 per cent., the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23-40 per cent., i t follows t h at th e exc h ange is nominally 0.17 per cent, in favour of England ; and, after making allowance for charges of transport, the present rate leaves a trifling profit on the importation of gold from the United States. It is understood that Messrs. Baring are remitting 300,0001. in half-imperials to St. Petersburg, on account, it is presumed, of the Russian Government. The additional shipments by other firms were to the amount of about 80,0001. FRIGHTFUL OCCURRENCE.—A frightful crime was committed at Figueras, in Spain, on the 9th. A man and his wife, who had long been on bad terms, had a violent quarrel, during which the husband took up his youngest child, aged four years, and threw it out of the window into the street. He then with a hatchet in flicted three dreadful wounds on the head of his wife. A gamekeeper armed with a carbine came up and called upon the man to surrender, but he refused, and, taking his gun, fired at the gamekeeper, but missed him. The gamekeeper then discharged his carbine, and shot the man through the head. The mother and child were taken to the hospital with no hope of recovery. :~.
