DUBLIN, MAY 2.—The reports today continue to be rather favourable, the bulletin at nine o'clock, A. 31 , statini that his Excellency passed another good night, and is somewhat better this morning. We regret to state that, notwithstanding the favour able nature of the bulletins for the last two days, there are no grounds to expect any permanent improvement in his Excellency's health. A fatal termination of the disease under which the Noble Earl suffers may be pro tracted to a much longer period than was anticipated in the early part of the week, but of his ultimate recovery there is not the shadOw of a hope. DIABOLICAL ATTEMPT TO MURDER. The Particulars of this most horrid deed have been so mis-stated, and so many rumours are in circulation, in consistent in their bearing, that we think it necessary to put the public in possession of the real facts of the case, and give the following authentic details of tho untoward event : Mr. Wilson, brother to Mr. Wilson, attorney of Rock hill, county Roscommon, visited the family of Mr. Kelly, at his roaidence, at Scregg, distant about ten miles from this town, on Monday afternoon, apparently with the intention of remaining for dinner—although uninvited. During dinner nothing remarkable occurred to disturb the harmony of the party, if we except the circumstance of some very strange and ominous glances which the servant in attendance states that he observed the guest to survey his host with. After dinner had been re moved, and a glass of punch enjoyed, Mr. Kelly retired to his room for the night t as is his usual custom, at ten o'clock. Mr. Wilson also left the room, opened the hall-door, - and proceeded. to the stables, as was sup. posed to J9,01x.. hors* In the stable Mr. Wilson found a servant—the same who at- tended at dinner—whom he requested to deliver a letter to a Mr. Maypowder, about three miles distant, promising amply to remunerate him for the trouble. The servant refused, pleading as an apology that his master would not suffer him to leave the house at that late hour; and on Mr. Wilson persisting in his request, the servant determinedly refused, on which some high words were used between the parties, which resulted in Mr. Wilson's returning to the house for the avowed purpose of complaining of the servant to his master. In the house Mr. Wilson met Mrs. Kelly, to whom he stated the necessity of his leaving immediately, and complained of the insolence of the servant in refusing to go a short distance with a letter, and requested to see Mr. Kelly. Mrs. Kelly endeavoured to exculpate the servant, and begged Mr. Wilson would not disturb her husband, as he most probably was asleep at the time. Mr. Wilson, however, would not be refused, and on further remonstrance from Mrs. Kelly forced open the bed-room door, and rushed into the room where Mr. Kelly was lying asleep unconscious of danger. Mrs. Kelly, who witnessed the strange demeanour of her guest, screamed loudly when she perceived Mr. Wilson rush towards the bed on which Mr. Kelly lay, draw forth a razor from his pocket, and make an attempt to decapitate his sleeping victim. The servant, who had followed Mr. Wilson from the stable for the purpose of explaining his conduct towards Mr. Wilson, hearing the scuffle and screams of his mistress rushed up stairs, and seeing the diabolical attempt to murder his master, threw himself on the assassins, and with some difficulty brought him to the ground. Both being powerful men, a desperate struggle took place on the floor of the bed-room, during which time Mr. Kelly lay weltering in his blood, but providentially without any dangerous effect, as the razor had come in contact with a bone in the back of the head, from which it glanced off, inflicting a terrible gash on the face and neck of the unfortunate gentleman. During the scuffle between Mr. Wilson and the servant some fearful cuts were inflicted on the face of the faith ful domestic, who exhibits a horrifying appearance, being carved and cut on the head and face in a shocking manner, the left ear and right thumb being nearly severed from the body. Mrs. Kelly, witnessing this fearful scene, attempted to render assistance, but coming in contact with Mr. Wilson, he inflicted some dangerous wounds on that lady's face, and made a strong effort to cut her throat, which he partially succeeded in accom plishing, there being little hope entertained of her re covery. After some time, the servant, who during this time had succeeded in keeping down Mr. Wilson, was at length obl)ged, from the wounds he had received and the quantity of blood which, streaming from his head, blinded his eyes, to release the prisoner, who no sooner found himself at liberty than he beat a retreat from the scene of his butchery, and, descending the stairs, rushed out of the house, followed by the servant, who had mustered sufficient strength to do so. When on the lawn another scuffle ensued, Mr. Wilson inflicting other wounds on his captor, which soon loft him free, and which advantage he availed himself by taking to the open country. In the meantime the servant, having crawled near the gatehouse, alarmed the occupiers by his moans, who, seeing the state of the man, proceeded to the house and learning the particulars Gf the affair from the maid servants, roused up the country people, who immediately went in pursuit, and at an early hour—after a lengthened chase—captured the murderer, •whom they gave into the safe keeping of the police, who have since lodged their prisoner in the county gaol. 'The razor with which this outrage was perpetrated was found in a field. where it had been thrown by the prisoner when closely pursued. We should have stated that a little girl, about eight years of age, daughter to Mr. Kelly—whose youth and innocence was no protection from the knife of this bar barian—had her face cut in several places in endeavour ing to cling to her mother for protection. The go verness of the family effected her escape through the parlour window unhurt. Up to this hour no death has taken place.

AN EMBRYO MINISTER ; A SKETCH FROM T 4 IFE. It is fifteen years since ; we passed beneath the gateway of Oriel College, not to ascend the stair on the south side of the quadrangle, where, in a narrow suite of rooms, Mr. Newman is labouriug as a man of strong will and in dustry, and simple habits only can, but to the north-west o corner we ascend to th e fi rst flo r :th e massive outer door ......,. the oak"—is op en; knockinga' t the i n ner door a mild, clear voice bids us ~c ome in ; " entering, we cast a rapid glance around; the room is of the first class; on oneside the deep and somewhat narrow roundheaded windows look into the quadrangle, On the other across the street, to ward the back of Christ Church. There is a quiet pro priety about the room ; a few good prints, and a small collection of handsomely -bound books. The occupant rises ; his features and complexion are almost of feminine delicacy, and he is tall and slender almost to fragility, yet his movements are graceful and e asy, and, while balancing an ivory paper knife, he looks a kindly interrogation, and speaks with that easy courtesy which almost uniformly marks the really well born. We ask of his studies, as one who almost of necessity must bear a part, more or less influential, in the public affairs of this great com mercial country. He points to Ilerodotus, to the Nica machean Ethics, to the Greek Poets, and smilingly to Mr. Newman's earliest Sermons, and toa new edition of Words worth, under his paper-knife.

Reader, remember, this letter was put into the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. " Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, of the llerbary, High gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the hair on her head, after using it about four months, and the whole of her hair is much stronger and mere luxuriant than I ever was before the baldness appeared. " Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr. G.'s Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an 118. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund ance, but as a cure of nervous headache ; as a toilet perfume it is far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any lady of respectability to the above fact,-3, Swan-street, Borough." In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, a few drops oa the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and - wevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair , will give the hair brillianc3 , , causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the host aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion o the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops n the crown of the heal; if • •ry bad, repeat It every quarter of an our. In most cases relief Is certain in tell minutes. It produces air on children's lic.uls in a Ie.NY appplieations. It used on infants' earls, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain :ts to pre vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—See pamphlet of testimonials.

MORE FORGERIES.—EAST INDIAN RAILWAY.— For some time past it has been a matter of considerable sur prise among those best informed upon such subjects, that the stock of a company in such close connexion with the Go vernment should have continued depressed to an extent which, after making every allowance for the fall in all de scriptions of securities, and the state of the money market, could not be accounted for. The mystery has at length been discovered, an extensive system of forgery having been de tected, which has produced the effect upon the market in consequence of the quantity of scrip thrown upon it. The imitation of the company's scrip is said to be very carefully executed, and the forgeries appear to have been brought to light by accident. The extent to which they have been carried is at present unknown, and cannot be accurately ascertained until all the scrip shall have been brought in for registration.

ACCIDENT ON THE SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY. —On Tuesday evening last a railway labourer obtained a second class ticket at the Salisbury terminus for Romsey, and took his seat in the five o'clock up train. Whilst it was proceeding at full speed he suddenly jumped out of the car riage, and was, when taken up, insensible. lie was con veyed to the Salisbury Infirmary, and lies in a hopeless state. It is supposed that, not being quite sober at the time, the motion had lulled him to sleep, and being by some means suddenly awakened, had committed the rash act unaware of what he was doing. S Ny MA Y 4, 1847. MONEY MARKET and CITY NWS. E. During the early p ar t o f the day MONDAY reports were VENIN cir G cu • lated that the Russian Government had made arrange. ments to ship to this country immediately on the opening of the navigation the sum of gold proposed to be in vested here, and that steps had been taken for the ne cessary insurance. It is understood, however, that no official communication has been received to that effect, althou2h it. is believed that a frigate has been ordered to be in readiness in case it should be decided upon. The pressure for money has'been felt with as much severity to- day as on any previous occasion ; and the accounts from the provinces indicate that in the manu facturing districts matters are daily becoming more critical. Speaking of the high rates paid for money at Manchester, one writer, occupying a leading position, observes, "Ere long there will be very little to pay or receive in this town, for business seems entirely sus pended. Nobody dares to buy, and spinners and manu facturers must stop their works. A great number are now standing still, and if discount accommodation is not to be had, the whole must cease, and then we shall soon have Lancashire and Yorkshire as bad or worse than Ireland." A recent letter from New York mentions that the remittances of the labouring Irish from New York, Boston, Philadelphia, and Baltimore during January, February, and March, 1847, have amounted to little short of 1,000,000 dolls., being at the rate of about 800,0001. sterling per annum ; and it is stated that there is no doubt they will continue on this scale for some months to come. The Penguin packet, from Rio, brings 3171 b. of gold for the St. John del Rey Mining Company. An arrival of 40,0001. also took place to-day from France. The grai❑ markets of the French departments may now be said to show a distinct tendency upwards, the latest reports furnishing numerous cases of a rise far ex ceeding any recorded extent of fall. The letters from the Amsterdam Bourse of the 30th ult. mention that general flatness was the chief charac teristic of business in the public securities, the state of the money market exerting a depressing influence upon quotations. Advices from St. Petersburgh to the 21st of April state, "We just hear that the ice has commenced to break up at within five versts of the source of the Neva, and we may'consequently expect the same event here in about a week. In a fortnight from that time the ship ping :generally commences at Cronstadt." Regarding the exchange it is observed, " Although our present rates of exchange, on account of the little business doing, may go somewhat lower, still we are of opinion that as soon as the shipping commences they will rise again." — From Riga we learn that the last accounts from Biela state, that on the 13th of April the ice had broken up, and that more than 800 barques were in readiness to sail for Riga as soon as the river should be sufficiently clear. Late advices from Stettin announce an improvement in the grain markets since the receipt of the intelligence of the late rise here, and for wheat the quotation ruled as high as 110 to 120 thalers per wispel, according to quality. Rice was also scarce and in demand, Carolina fetching 10f to 11 thalers ; Patna, 10 1-6 thalers ; and Bengal, 8/ to thalers.—Times. PRICE SD. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. (RECEIVED THIS DAY.)

Sia,—That portion of the nominations for the Derby com ing under the title of " illustrious obscures" I named in my last epistle, in number they amounted to one hundred and twenty-nine, leaving sixty from which to select the honoured nag. It is not my intention to analyse at length the merits o f any more than those which receive public support, or which in my opinion are really dangerous animals to be against; the rest, which may be considered the second class, are the following, viz.:—Hingham, brother to Wine sour (this will be a very dangerous horse, in a two mile handicap)—Golightly, Wiseacre, West Indian Planter, Vice-Consul, colt by Tory Boy, Montpensier, colt by Redshank, colt by Hornsea, Congress, Marlow, Cheapside, Camelford, colt by Harkaway out of Diana, Chainbearer, Will-o'-the-wisp, Miles's Boy, colt by Cardinal Puff, Soutar Johnny, Bannockburn, Limestone, Thanam dou dahbal, But terton, Bubble, colt by Harkaway out of Waterwitch, The Monk, Signet, The Admiral, Aliwal, Eryx, Brother to Millepede and Whirligig ; this class, and the " illustrious obscures," have not the winner of the Derby among them, of that I am convinced, but the lot I intend conning next week has, beyond the possibility of a doubt. My presiding deity, good fortune, which has attended a ll my efforts to the present time, has at length deserted me, and at the moment, too, when I most needed her good offices, no handicap or indeed race of any kind, not even excepting the Derby, being so difficult to find the winner o f, as t h e Chester Cup, which the various prophetic annunciations put forth last week clearly show; Sweetmeat on whom I had in vested my most brilliant hopes ha v i ng b een scratched along with Sir Martin at the eleventh hour, when he was generally acknowledged to be in excellent racing condition and the reason he was not allowed t o go i s t o me i ncomprehensible. Sir Martin, also, though in my opinion not equal to his unfortunate companion ; would in his absence have brought me through with credit; but I feed my vanity with " crumbs of comfort" in not being the only one in " a fix" on the occasion ; no public writer that I am aware of having even given a hint of the winner's probable succcess, and I shall accordingly, to alleviate my "vexation of spirit," take the old maxim always applied in similar cases of " bet ter luck next time." The Newmarket second spring meeting commences to morrow with three stakes, as usual to close and name the evening before running; the other stake, asweep of 100 sovs. each, will be a walk over for Piccinino, unless Gag exhibits, but his rivalry will not alter my decision. On Wednesday, Footstool is - only likely to have Hoorrah as a competitor for the 50 soy. stakes, but the latter will not deprive his opponent of the prize of victory. Bravissimo will receive forfeit from lago, as his under standings are not in sufficiently good order for running. The field for the Suffolk Stakes, bar accidents and fancies, will be composed of the following:— Yrs at lbl Yrs st lb Jinglepot The Cur ... Lochinvar aged 7 13 1 Mogulistan Colleen Bawn ... 5 7 sjLazarillo Hydrangea ....... 4 7 11And, perhaps, Ukraine 4 7 1 'Farthing Caudle 4 6 13 Scarlet Runner 5 6 13;And Crozier 3 6 1 Doctrine's performances induce me to prefer her to Hy drangea for first place, with Kent's starter (probably Crozier) for a " wager " boat. The Champion Stakes will not draw more than six or seven to the post, and the race will lay between Liska, Archness, and the Marmora colt. I have placed them as I expect they will arrive at the end of theirjourney. Three other races of inferior quality conclude the day's pleasure. The Sweepstakes of 10 sous. each, will haye among the starters :—Teetotum, Nectar, Cracow, and the Sheriff — m y veto, being in favour of the atter and Teetotum. Two or three other stakes of less note bring the meeting to a conclusion. The Shrewsbury meeting has only two races deserving comment—to wit, the Cleveland Handicap and the Patshull Stakes; for the latter, Lady Lift will do the trick, and for the former Annandale. The Duke of Richmond and Sagacity will form the front rank at the Judge's chair. I am, Sir, yours, &c., THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF May 3. DRURY-LANE THEATRE. The season closed last night with the benefit of Mr. Harley, the stage manager. Guy Mannerly was revived, in which the benefit-giver acted with humour his favourite character of Dominie Sampson. Mr. Braham sang the " Death of Nelson" marvellously well, and in Tom Tug, in the farce of the Waterman, acted with spirit, and executed the music with great excellence. His "Bay of Biscay" was redemanded with enthusiasm. Mr. W. Farren sang " The Old English Gentleman." A troupe of Ethiopian Minstrels appeared, and the new spectacle of the Desert concluded the entertainments. The house was crowded in every part. At the end of the opera Mr. Bunn delivered the following address to the audience, which was greatly applauded : " Ladies and Gentlemen,—At the end of a long, and an.eventful season, I appear before jou in my wo nted position, to give you some slight account of my steward ship. I say a long' season, because a period of about 170 nights is entitled to that appellation, and when I look back on its events, my wonder is, that it ever reached 70, to say nothing of the odd 100. The distress which has swept over the country, the unprecedented fluctuation of the weather, the incessant sickness arising therefrom (which at one time led to our closing for an entire week) and, in addition to other causes—especially that of the establishment of another Italian Opera—the want of co-operation on the part of some who, dependent altogether on the public pleasure, do all they can to deprive the public of enjoying any, are matters detrimental to th e i nterests o f a t h eatre, an d positive impediments to its progress. It may be ex pected that I should say something respecting a popular artiste who has recently arrived in this country. I have been lustily abused for endeavouring to make that lady fulfil her contract; and having failed in such endeavour, I . can only say, th a t if s h e was s i ng i ng h ere, an d draw ing the money she will elsewhere, our season would ter minate with great profit. So much for the past—as re spects the future, permit me to assure you that the good which so long existed, still exists, with the committee of this theatre and myself—a . body . of . gentlemen act ua t e d a t a ll t i mes by the utmost l iberality and the best feeli ngs . Th e y renewed my lease of their theatre; and when I asked them to cancel that renewal , to enable those (who continue to excite the doubtful oits question of the legitimate drama) to compete , f possession, their assent to my request wasconvfreLedswrulethh an expression of great regret. If the theatre, competition, should pass into other bands, I shall meet you elsewhere—if not, I shall once more meet you on this scene, where I have so often had to acknowledge those favours which I shall never cease to remember with the deepest gratitude." DARING BURGLARY.—Yesterday information was received by the police, that the premises of Mr. Bellcham bers, No. 424, Strand, bookseller, had been entered during the night, and several hundred volumes of valuable works carried off by the burglars, who are supposed to have effected their perty taken entrance with skeleton keys. Th e va l ue of the pro- POST -OFFICE FACILITIES.—On and after this even ing, the 4th inst., the London receiving•houses will be kept open from half-past five to six o'clock, P.

The addresses followed up premp'OY by a personal canvass by Lord Ossulston and Lord Lovaine, have taken the friends of Sir George Grey somewiset by surprise, , and at present it is difficult to say how far their future conduct may be influenced by the march stolen upon them by the Onsnservatives.

ISLE OF WIGHT.-At length we have a tangible and authorised statement on which a remark may be indulged in, as regards the representation of the county of the island. The present Member, the Honourable A'Court Holmes, has this week pub licly announced his intention of retiring from the toils and fatigues of Parliamentary warfare into that private life for which he is certainly more eminently fitted, and where in the circle of domestic duties, and the care and superintendence of local matters, we be lieve no gentleman in the island bears a higher character. Mr. T. W. Fleming comes forward, at last, on the strength . of a requisition, which is only in the course of signature in a shop at Ryde ! In opposition to Mr. Fleming (who hss already commenced an active canvass), Mr. John Simeon (eldest son of Sir Richard Simeon, Bart., who formerly represented the island), has issued his manifesto, complaining of an undue advantage taken by the former in commencing a canvass, and requesting the electors to withhold their promises of support.— Llempsitire Independent THE LATE LORD COWLEY.—The mortal remains of this respected nobleman are to be conveyed to London from Paris for interment in the family vault in South Audley Chapel. ADULT DEAF AND DUMB INSTITUTION.—His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge has kindly consented to take the chair at the ensuing annual meeting of the above interesting charity. Yesterday a meeting was held at the institution for the purpose of electing four male candidates; Alexander Robinson, Esq., in the chair. Proxies were read from her Majesty the Queen Dowager, the Duchess of Buc cleuch, Lord Robert Grosvenor, the Earl of Effingham, Lord Ashley, Dr. Lushington, C. Labouchere, Esq., Luke James Hansard, Esq., Mr. Gladstone, and many other influential friends and supporters of the institution. The four success.. ful candidates were—Butler, Chrowne, Gibbs, and Tring. Some interesting details were given regarding these unfortu nate young men, three of whom, it appears, had been ap prenticed out from the Asylum in the Kent -road. DURHAM UNIVERSITY. —Several cases of acinow• ledged fever having occurred in Durham, the Warden and Senate of the University have deemed it expedient to take a medical opinion upon the subject. After due inquiry, it was determined that it did not seem requisite to disperse the members of the University, but that if the immediate friends of any student were desirous that he should be removed from the University for a time leave would be given on due appli cation, and every facility afforded to alleviate the inconve niences that may arise. Some of the students have availed themselves of this permission; but the lectures, as well as the ordinary business of the town, are proceeding in the re gular manner. MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.—On Thursday last, the 29th ult., the marriage of the Marquis of Salisbury with the Lady Mary Catherine Sackville West, was solemnised at Knowle, in Kent, the residence of the Earl and Countess Amherst. The invitations were limited to the nearest rela tions of the two noble families, and the Duke of Wellington. At two o'clock a dejeune, in every respect worthy of the oc casion and of the place, was served up in the spacious and 'much admired cartoon gallery. During the repast the health of the noble bride and bridegroom was given by the Earl Amherst, and responded to by the Earl De la Warr. The Duke of Wellington returned to town after the ceremony in the chapel. The Noble and Gallant Duke was warmly 1 cheered on his departure by the people as.lembled at the gates. The bells of Seven Oaks rang merrily during the day. THE LATE DUKE OF ARG YIL 0....W8 leers l tur, the remains of his Grace are to be consigned to the tomb to-morrow, at Inverary, in the mausoleum wherein are de posited the bodies of his noble ancestors. At the time of his death the Marquis and Marchioness of Lorn were staying at Inverary Castle. PEDEI:TRIANISM.---SEWARD AND WESTIIALL'S RACE OF 120 YARDS, FOR 25 Sovs. A. SlDE,—This exciting event, which was appointed for decision yesterday at the Sprint race-ground, of the Old Hats Inn, Ealing, attracted, notwith standing the threatening promises of an unseasonable St. Swithin (heavenly promises, unlike many earthly oasis, folly performed), a considerable assemblage of those who take in terest in trials of speed. It is needless for us to recapitulate the previous performances of such well-known men ; to the circles taking interest in pedestrian performances they would be mere repetition, to others waste of space ; suffice it to say each is the first man in his own esteem, and that of his par tizans. Westhall, for endurance, swiftness, walking and running abilities, and Seward for that " turn of speed," which for a limited number of yards, say one hundred to three hundred, distances every living biped in the world. It was nearly the sixth hour, post meridian, be fore the men showed, and then two finer creatures than met the eyesight of the few hundreds within the roped and staked enclosure, the world cannot produce. The sym metry of Westhall, and his muscular development, for his height (five feet eight inches), are unmatchable; and his opponent Seward, although somewhat shorter and darker, like the days at Christmas, is a model of a man. After thirteen false starts, they bounded off, Seward, at the first of the attempts enumerated, slipping and falling down. For the first fifty yards, there was but a trifling difference between the competitors. Shortly afterwards, however, the American Phenomenon showed in advance, and, amid cries of " Seward wins," ran in a clear three yards in advance. Some idea of the speed may be formed, when we state that the 120 yards were covered in eleven seconds and a quarter! reckoned from the leaving the three yard scratch to the act of breasting the handkerchief. It was a source of heartfelt pleasure to see " the Old Squire," Osbaldiston, on the ground, who, with the love of manly sports yet within him, consented to act as re feree. The betting ranged at six to four, and five to two, and we even heard two to one offered on the winner. A friad from Calais offered 101. to 21. on Seward, but we did not bear it taken. ST. GEORGE'S HOSPITAL MEDICAL SCITOOL,-.

Alarm was given, thousands rushed to the scene of confusion and ruin.

ITALY. Pope Pius IX. bids fair to be the great reformer of his age. He has already done wonders for the admi nistration of the States placed under his sovereignty, for the freedom of thought and for the liberty of the press, and he now has intimated his intention of endowing his country with a constitution, or at all events with an ap proach to a system of national representation. The re presentatives of the different provinces of the Roman states have been called on to meet at Rome, for the pur pose of discussing with the Government the affairs of the Administration, and of aiding it in the measures to be adopted for the amelioration of the condition of the people. This important measure, which has created a great sensation in Italy, and which raises the hopes of all the friends of liberal institutions in that country, has been announced in the following circular, addressed by Cardinal Gizzi to the governors and prefects of the pro vinces:-- " In the midst of the grave task imposed upon this great pontificate,,his Holiness does not cease to direct his special attention, with paternal solicitude, to all the ameliorations required by the different branches of the public administra tion. I have no occasion to repeat at this time all that the Holy Father, since the day of his advent, has not ceased to do to attain this great end. All the sensible people who really desire the welfare of these states, and who certainly form the majority of the population, acknowledge it, and express their gratitude to their generous Sovereign. His Holiness, trusting to the assistance of God, will persist in the system adopted for the amelioration of public affairs, always, nevertheless, within the just limits which his high wisdom has fixed, and with all the maturity of thought required by a work of that nature. Besides, you will find a new proof of the beneficent intentions of the Holy Father in the communication which lam about to make to you. I will tell you, in the meantime, that his Holiness, always animated with the desire to regulate the march of the public administration in the most satisfactory order, proposes to choose and to call to Rome a person from each province, who, by his social position, by his fortune, and by his infor mation, will unite the qualities of a good subject of the Pon tifical g,verninent, and possess the confidence and the esteem of his fellow-citizens. Ulterior dispositions will regulate the service of this assembly, whether to co-operate in the public administration or to employ itself with the better organization of the provincial councils, and other analogous matters. The persons who are or will be hereafter chosen to this effect by the Holy Father will re side in the capital for two years at least. You will per fectly understand how important it is that the choice of the persons should answer the intentions of the Holy Father. The deputies should have no other incentive than the public good, and no other object but the advantage of the public. You will have the goodness in the meantime to propose to me the names of two or three of those persons belonging to your province, in order that his Holiness may fix his choice. The enlightened zeal, of which you have given proof, to second the beneficent intentions of the Holy Father, are to me a sure guarantee that they will be renewed in an affair of this kind—an affair which concerns a measure that may pro duce the greatest benefits to the state of each province. (Signed) "CARDINAL GIZZI. " Rome, April 19, 1847." When the circular addressed by Cardinal Gizzi to the governors of the provinces was published, the entire po pulation resolved with one voice to repair in the evening to the Quirinal to thank the Holy Father. At eight o'clock all the inhabitants of Rome turned out of their houses, each provided with a lighted torch, and repaired to the Piazza del Popolo, the place of rendezvous. There they formed into platoons, and walked in the greatest order, preceded by banners and bands of music, to the Pontifical residence. The Corso was spontaneously illu minated; the windows and balconies were lined with spectators waving handkerchiefs, and joining the multi tude in cries of " Viva Roma !" " Viva Italia !" and " Viva Pio IX. !" The Pope presented himself on the balcony of the Quirinal, and bestowed his benediction on the people, who, after giving one immense cheer for his Holiness, quietly dispersed. Several Roman Princes had, on this occasion, joined the popular procession. THE LATE MURDER AT DERBY.—DEATH OF MRS. OSBONNE.—We very much regret to say that Mrs. Osborne, who was so savagely attacked by the murderer Cross, after he had perpetrated the murder of his wife, died on Thursday morning. The murderer cut her lingers so badly, that mortification of one of them took place, and she had it cut off about a month ago , an operation which she bore with great fortitude.—Macclesfield Courier. ATTEMPTED MURDER AND SUICIDE.—A wretched woman, 26 years of age, named Sarah Deller, was brought up at the Police station Court-house, at Newport, Essex, by Superintendent Clerk, before Captain Byng and Mr. Birch Woolf, county magistrates, for final examination, charged with attempting to murder her illegitimate child, Sarah Ann Deller, aged seven years, and seeking to de stroy her own life. It appeared that she had for some time cohabited with a man in the village of Hayden, near Royston, by whom she had the child. Some time ago ho deserted her, and she supported herself and offspring by needlework. Being reduced to a very distressed state, she was compelled to seek the union. There she partially re cruited her health and strength, and fine weather setting in, she left. The principal witness against her was her own child. She stated that she accompanied her mother to Royston, and there she was requested to go to Mr. Matthew's and purchase s sixpennyworth of laudanum. This was refused. Tier mother then demanded it, and it was furnished. On their way home, the mother went be.. hind a haystack in a remote f a plantation, and pouring some of the laudanum rn ar aup desired the child to drink it. Sh e t as t e d i t, and t o finding it bitter, declined to take it. Her parent told her she would run away if she still refused. The child would not drink it, and the prisoner then poured the whole of the poison into the cup and swallowed it. She lay down by the side of the stack, and in half an hour she became insensible. Her suffer ings became most intense. At five o'clock the little girl wended her way to Royston, and gave information of her mother's state ; assistance was rendered,) and, after some hours, the effects of the dose she had taken were somewhat suppressed. The poor creature„on being asked by the Bench if she had anything to state, did not deny that she had attempted what had been stated; she did it to end the misery she and her child were suffering. The Chairman then told her that she was committed for trial at the next assizes for administering poison to her daughter with intent to kill. MR. BUNN AND JENNY LIND.—AII action has been commenced by Mr. Bunn, in the Court of queen's Bench, against. Jenny Lind, for an alleged breach of contract, and on Friday last an appearance to the writ of summons issued a few days previously was entered by a solicitor on the part of the defendant. The next proceeding will be the declara tion, in which the plaintiff will estimate his damages. Sir F. Kelly and Mr. Cockburn, Q.C., have been retained for Mr. Bunn. The cause cannot be tried until the sittings after Trinity Term, commencing the middle of July. THE GREAT BRITAIN STEAMER.—We learn from our correspondent, that on the spring-tide of Saturday last the Great Britain, as soon as the water was about three fourths up, rose with it until high water, when she appeared from the shore to be nearly level. This must be hailed as a good sign, .as it shows that the efforts which have been making to tighten her compartments are likely to be at tended with success. At low water the signs of her having moved were self-evident, as several hundred tons of large stones, which have been fo r more than a month accumulatin g through the labour of the poor people in her locality along her sides, were forced off from her for more than a foot on each side. The next springs will not be so high as the last, but the engineers are at work in making her bunkers as tight as they have made her forehold, through which on Saturday she buoyed herself up, as oar correspondent was the ship, several told bsome of the people belonging t o feet at the fore end. — N ewry Tdegraph. „ ,4 1 • ~. `- . ; i 'i'i ,~ ors.; '! `' ''.;-,,':: .
