THE PRIZE CATTLE SHOW The Christmas Cattle Show, in Portman-square, Draws many thousands with its prizes rare; Icor need we wonder much, for such a sight Is calculated to afford delight. 'Tis most amusing to behold a prize, Rolling in fatness—twice , its usual size. The greedy pigs, reclining half asleep, With here and there a group of waddling sheep. And the huge lazy oxen calmly snoozing, Are objects which are-certainly amusing. But there's an exhibition, you must know, More pleasing than the Christmas Cattle Show; MOSES and SON'S display of prize attire, Is something which the public all admire. The show at MOSES' Mart does not appear At Christmas time alone, but all the year. Their celebrated Show-rooms never lack Prize Coats and Waistcoats to adorn the back, Prize Over Coats and Trousers, too, are there, More prized than any prize in Portman-square. MOSES and SOS beg, therefore, to advise, An early application for a prize. Let all who prize their health adopt the plan, Of well preparing for the outward mall ; And those whe prize appearance we apprize, Of what our Prize Establishment supplies. MOSES and SON'S prize garments all admire, And own them to be prizeable attire; The least dissatisfaction there is not, llnt all who purchase dress, no matter what, Exclaim, delighted, " What a prize I've got'."

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHEIaV CIRCUIT, Liverpool, Dec. 14. The winter assize for the southern division of Lanca shire commenced here to-day. (Before Mr. Justice COLTMAN.) Thomas Cawley was indicted for the manslaughter of his wife, Eliza Cawley. It appeared that on the night on which the deceased met with her death the prisoner, who is a working man, came home from his work. The deceased, his wife, was very much intoxicated. The prisoner was sober, and complained of her neglect in not having prepared tea for himself and the children. High words, in consequence, took place between them, and one of the neighbours (a Mrs. Rushton) hearing the quarrel, went in to see what was the matter. The prisoner threatened to knock the deceased off her chair. She replied with some taunting language, on which the prisoner went towards her, apparently for the purpose of striking her. He made a blow at her, but Mrs. Rushton interposed, and his hand merely inflicted a slight scratch upon her fore head. He then raised his foot for the purpose, apparently, of kicking her, but the witness having her face towards him, for the purpose of keeping him off Airs. Cawley, did not see whether the blow reached her. The deceased, however, instantly screamed out, and fell forward on the sofa. The prisoner imme diately lifted her up, and said, "Eliza, have I hurt thee? I would not hurt thee for the world." It was then found she was bleeding copiously from the lower part of her person. Mrs. Rushton desired him to go for a doctor, and he immediately left the house for the purpose. He went to the house of a Mr. Berry, and stated that his wife was ♦ery ill—that he had kicked her. On Mr. Berry reaching the house, he found deceased exhausted from loss of blood. He tried to arrest the bleeding, but the deceased sank and died in a few minutes. There was no external laceration, but a post-mortem examina tion showed that a contused wound had been inflicted internally, rupturing a number of small vessels, the hemorrhage from which had caused her death. The witnesses, on cross-examination, stated that the deceased was occasionally intoxicated. The prisoner was usually affectionate and kind to her. Mr. ATLINSON addressed the jury for the defence, contending that it was not clearly established that the haemorrhage in this, which the medical men admitted was a most singular case, had arisen from the violence offered by the prisoner at the bar. Mr. Justice - . I OLTMAN haring summed up, Tile jury found the prisoner Guilty, recommending him to mercy. His LORDSHIP sentenced the prisoner to be imprisoned three calendar months. (Before Mr. Baron ALDERSON.) William Bridge was indicted for cutting and wounding his brother, Richard Bridge, with intent to do him some grievous bodily harm. Mr. Cross conducted the prosecution; the prisoner was not defended by counsel. It appears that the prisoner, his brother (the prose cutor), and their father, are colliers, living at Rochd a l e . On the 7th of Dece m b er t h ere h a d b een a kind of village . festival, called " rushb ear i ng ," at R oc hd a l e, and most of the parties engaged in it had wound up the evening, it would appear, by convivial meetings at public-houses, in which more ale was imbibed than prudence would sanction. The prisoner, his brother, and their father were together at the house of a person of the name of Dearden. The prisoner was teazing his father and pulling his hair, on which the prosecutor interfered, and after some high words had been ex changed between them, they came to blows. Mr. Dearden, the landlord, interfered, and the prisoner was put out. lle remained outside the house until the pro secutor and his father left. When they got out of the house, Dearden being with them, they found the prisoner there, and he kicked over a tub belonging to Dearden, which was standing there, and behaved with so much violence that Dearden, to prevent a collision, took him back into the house until the others should hare pro ceeded some distance on the road. The prisoner, how ever, on leaving the house went forward to overtake them, and, being about to attack his father, the prose cutor interfered, on which a scuffle took place between them, in the course of which the prosecutor found he was wounded in the side. The wound was in a dan gerous place, but had fortunately been given in a slant ing direction, and the results were not serious. The prisoner in the dock seemed exceedingly peni tent, and he received en excellent character for kindness of demeanour and quietness in his usual habits when not excited with drink. When taken into custody he said " I know I've done it. I was not my own person." The prisoner was found guilty of an assault, and seri ously admonished by his Lordship as to the evil conse quences arising from habits of intoxication, and sentenced to be imprisoned three calendar months. William Showell was indicted for cutting and wound ing Jeremiah Pooley, with intent to do him grievous bodily harm. Mr. Monk conducted the prosecution; the prisoner was defended by Mr. Pollock. The prisoner, it appeared, when this occurrence took place, was at a public-house at Much Woolton, near the borough of Liverpool. He was much intoxi cated, and was finally put out of the house. At the door the landlord pushed him and be fell. On getting up the prosecutor saw something in his hand, and cried out, "He's got a knife." Immediately afterwards be was assailed by the prisoner, and cut in several parts of his body. None of the wounds, however, were dangerous. His LORDSHIP, in summing up, left it to the jury to say with what intent the prisoner had committed the act. Generally, a person must be held to intend that which is the natural consequence of his act, and if his intent was to do grievous bodily harm, the fact of his being intoxicated would not render him less guilty. It might, however, be a question for the jury whether the prisoner might not have been so intoxicated as not to I have e b i e n e d n i c a t b in l e e n t o t f i o n r m w h a i n n n y i c ntent y o f In t i h g e h t k i b n e d u a s l l t e i fi g e e d d ailty n n f a as e s o a m ul m t. on assault. in V iin e d rd in ie g t, li G im g uilty n, his se aLOßDSHlP,consequences i n from intoxication, arisingsentence, again on the u and sentenced him to b e i mpr i soned six calendar months, recommending that ho sh ou ld b e k ept i n separate con finement. He had no power to make that a term of the sentence, but he was willing that the prisoner should be spared so far as possible the contamination of a gaol. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. NEW COURT. (The case of Barr, Brewer, Ralfe, and Carter, continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) Counsel addressed the jury at length for each of the prisoners, and several witnesses gave Ralfe an excellent character. The RECORDER, in summi ng u p, occup i e d an hour and twenty minutes, and the jury retired. After delit , rating about an hour and a half, they returned a verdict of Guilty against all the pri soners, but recommended Ralfe to mercy. The COURT took time to consider its judgment. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Lord William Vane Powlett, of 19, Curzon-street, Mayfair, was brought into court, just at the close of the business on Monday, and placed at the bar, charged with having stolen two embroidered slippers, value 125., from the shop of Mr. Emanuel Stahl, bootmakcr, Bur lington-arcade. William Oakley, shopman to Mr. Stahl, said, on Fri day evening the prisoner came into his master's shop and asked to be fitted with a pair of Blucher boots. Ile went up stairs into the wareroom but could not find a pair that would do, and he came down and told the pri soner that ho had none that would suit, but ho would take his measure and make a pair. The prisoner said be was in a hurry for the boots, and he requested wit ness again to go up stairs and see if he could not find a pair. Witness did as requested, but, being unsuccessful, he came down again and took the prisoner's measure, and also hi* name and address. The next day the boots were sent to Curzon-street, and paid for. Shortly after wards two embroidered slippers, ono red and the other yellow, and both for the same foot, were missed from the window. The slippers were worth about twelve shillings, and witn ess h a d seen them safe in the window when Lord Powlett was in the shop. Witness also recollected that he saw a red slipper in Lord Powlett's hands when he was coming down stairs from the ware room. William Allen, shopman, said, as soon as the slippers were missed, and suspicion had arisen, he was instructed to go to Curzon -street and make inquiries. He went, and on telling his business to the footman he received a message from his Lordship that he had taken the slip pers, and they were then in the house. Witness re turned and mentioned what he had learned to William Oakley, and afterwards he went with William Oakley to Lord Powlett's house, and then saw Lord Powlett. Lord Powlett said he would not have had the thing occur for 50/. He said he took the slippers to ascertain which would fit him best, intending to call and take that pair which he might fix upon. Lord Powlett also said that Mr. Stahl was in the shop when he took the slip pers. The foreman contradicted this, asserting that he was the only one present in the shop at the time. Wit ness received both slippers from the footman; they were the same that had been taken from the window of the shop. Inspector Tedman proved that he had been applied to by the witness Oakley to take Lord Powlett into custody. Lord Powlett, in defence, said he took the slippers but certainly with no intention of stealing them. He bad offered to pay for them when the first application was made at his house. The foreman observed that it was rather singular for a nobleman to carry away slippers in his pocket. Mr. BINGHAM said, it appeared to him that, consi dering the prisoner had given his correct address, had paid for the articles he ordered, and, above all, that two odd slippers could have been of no-use--to any one, the probability was there had been some oversight or mis apprehension, rather than that a person of the station of the accused should have taken the slippers without any assignable motive. It was a question, however, to be decided by a jury if the prosecutor thought fit to proceed further. The foreman said, his original impression of the case was in some degree altered by the view taken by the magistrate of the whole affair. In the absence of instruc tions from his employer he should not be inclined to go further. His Lordship was then discharged. Herman Geiger, a foreigner, with his face nearly covered with hair, was placed before Mr. Bingham, charged with violently assaulting Benjamin Schrader, , assistant to Mr. Young, pawnbroker, 51, Princes -street, Leicester-square. The prosecutor said, on the previous evening he was in the adjoining house to his place of business, having his tea, when he was alarmed by hearing the shop bell ringing violently. He immediately proceeded to the shop, and as soon as he entered his attention was at tracted to the prisoner, who was conducting himself in a most violent manner towards one of the shopmen. On looking at the prisoner he directly recognised him as a man who had been in the habit for some time of trying to pledge articles at his employer's shop for more than their value. He was, therefore, determined to give him into custody. He informed the prisoner of his intention, when he abused him (prosecutor) in the vilest terms. The prisoner at length got so violent that prosecutor at tempted to put him out ; in doing so the prisoner laid hold of his (prosecutor's) hand, and inflicted a severe wound by biting it with his teeth. The prisoner then ran out of the shop down Princes -street. Prosecutor followed him till he saw him enter a tailor's shop in Cranbourne-street, and he then procured the assistance of a constable, and gave him in charge. Henry Edward Bonham, shopman, to Mr. Young, stated that yesterday evening the prisoner came into his employer's shop, and put down four brooches on the counter, upon which he wanted witness to advance the sum of 30s. Witness looked at them, and asked the prisoner if they were gold? The prisoner said, " Yes, they are, and if you do not like them I will take them away." Witness then proposed to ascertain whether they were gold, whereupon the prisoner snatched three of them away and put them into his pocket. Witness, however, tested the other and discovered that it was not gold, but a species of yellow metal. He then gave it back to the prisoner, and told him he need not trouble himself to come again with them. The prisoner said, " What do you mean by that?" Witness replied that be (prisoner) bad been often told not to come to their shop, and that he need not try anything on again. With that the prisoner began to make a very great noise. Witness told him that he would not allow any noise there, and if he did not desist he would send for a con stable to take him out of the shop. The prisoner per sisted in making a disturbance, and behaved in such a manner that witness sent for a constable, and rang the bell for last witness, who immediately came to his assistance. The prisoner, in a long rambling statement, denied in Into the chargo of violence imputed to him. He also denied telling the last witness that the mountings of the brooches were gold. The value of the brooches was not in the mountings, but in the settings. The brooches he offered in pledgo were Roman mosaic, and considered a great rarity in this countr y, and each brooch cost him at least 20s. Mr. BINGHAM said he had heard the statement made by the two witnesses, and also the defence made by the prisoner. Ile (Mr. Bingham) was clearly of opinion that the prisoner was attempting to commit a fraud, and that the prosecutor w as perfectly justified in acting as he had done. lie also considered that the prisoner had acted with a degree of violence towards complainant perfectly unjustifiable. lie therefore thought it a case that ouglit to be sent to the sessions, and if the prose cutor desired it, ho would send the prisoner there. The prosecutor said Mr. Young wished him to pro secute the prisoner to the utmost. Mr. BiNone.bi accordingly ordered the depositions to be taken, and committed the prisoner for trial.

Mr. Editor,—That strange political fungus, Irish Patriotism, is developing itself just now to an extraor dinary degree. It is an unparalleled specimen of fell blown impudence. All its energies are concentrated on getting money out of Great Britain for Ireland, with little regard to the class from which the money is extorted, so that it be English money; and about as little regard as to where itgoes, provided that its destination be somewhere or somebody in Ireland. Daniel O'Connell himself, " albeit unused to the blushing mood," would have blushed for the present condition of his tail and its preposterous ex hibitions. Surely the sons of that extraordinary man, who, whatever his failings or failures, achieved his juvenile desire to inseribe his name on an important page of his country's history," might cherish and gratify a loftier ambition than that of being the begging leaders of a beggar population, or the bullying leaders of a turbulent population. Between eight and nine millions sterling have been expended in the mitigation of Irish calamity. The balance of ten millions voted for relief remains to aid the working of the Irish poor-law. And this is not a time, while so many thousands of hands are unemployed in the manufacturing districts, to call for further taxation upon the overburdened industry of England. Irish patriotism, if it deserves the name should feel its present mission to be that of arousing the spirit and energies of the country, and infusing into the people the determination to do something for their own support. It is sad to see a starving multitude, with untilled and unsown fields at their back, and the broad sea before them darkened by its shoals of fish, sitting supine, shiver ing in their rags and wretchedness, with open mouths waiting for the insertion of Government rations. Some wiser counsel might have been given at such a time, than that suggested in the missive to " my dear Ray," for the " Catholic Lord Archbishops and Bishops of Ireland," to come over bodily, and begirt the Imperial throne " beseeching or besieging," with clamorous peti tions for further alms-giving; prepared, we supposed, this august hierarchy, to expire begging on the steps of the throne, while the lay :patriots verify their promise, for Ireland's salvation, to " die on the floor of the House of Commons." Feargus O'Connor has taken possession of the place formerly occupied by Sir R. Peel in the British House of Commons, with the evident intention of installing himself also in the throne formerly occupied by Daniel O'Connell in Conciliation Hall. Hence the old regular Irish Repealers are put upon their metal. There is com petition in the field. Feargus trumps the best cards in the pack of Agitation. He outbids the grandest promises of the out-and-outers. If John O'Connell will die for Ireland, Feargus O'Connor will be d—d for Ireland. The effect of this stimulus is evident in the pertinacious obstruc tion offered to the measure for a little mitigating assas sination in Tipperary. It is absurd to call this a Coer cion Bill. None of the characters of those unhappy mea sures are to be found in its proposed enactments. It is a stringent Police Bill, for times and places (and such only) where murders are abundant. That it should be ob structed in every stage, under the pretence of claiming accompanying measures, of large immediate money grants, and of remedial laws affecting the entire struc ture and relations of society, and of course requiring time both for preparation and for operation, is simply the demand for a longer license to crime and outrage. There is only one measure which can, with any show of reason, be claimed as an accompaniment; and that is, the promised Tenant Right Bill. This might, very wisely and usefully, have been introduced at the same time; or, at any rate, have been clearly described as to the extent which the Government is willing to go in meeting the popular opinion upon this subject. Perhaps Ministers themselves are in difficulty on this point. Tenant right is a complicated theory, and a questionable practice. In England no doubt would exist. Here, tenant right would mean the right of the tenant, dispossessed unex pectedly of his farm, to remuneration for outlays on its improvement, which had not had time to repay them selves. In Ireland the phrase meanat kin—and it means a great deal more besides ; and often something very different. In crossing the Channel, words, like many other things, seem to " suffer a sea change," though not always " into something rich and strange." An out going occupier in Ireland claims a sum of money, as tenant right, of his successor, though he had never ex pended a shilling on the improvement of the farm ; though the cultivation may have been utterly and shame fully neglected, and though he may not have stopped the weather holes in the thatch of his hovel, nor have propped a fallen pig-stye. What is sold, under this de nomination of tenant right, more resembles the "good will "of a shop, than anything else in this country. It is the goodwill of the neighbourhood; of the "farmers' boys" who handle blunderbusses. 10/. per acre is not unfrequently given. The amount occasionally reaches to `.:51. As much as forty years' purchase of the rent has been paid in some instances. In Ulster the land lords recognise this right. Elsewhere they connive at it. They have an interest in doing so. All Irish tenants are in arrear, and all Irish landlords want money. The unpaid back rent is deducted from the tenant righ t money, and handed over to the landlord. This is the landlord's best chance for his arrears, and so he fingers the cash, although the principle on which it is paid be in fact tanta mount to a claim of joint proprietorship in his estates. Tenant right has been called a species of copyhold. his so in Ulster, where it seems to have originated amongst the Scotch settlers in the time of James I. A confiscated estate having been given to some favourite, who had not the least purpose of turning an English courtier into an Irish farmer, he was expected to settle some industrious yeomen under him—who, in their turns, conditioned for not being turned out at pleasure. With their descend ants the system has worked well. But Tipperary is not Ulster. The notion of such a right has become gene rally popular ; though the disposition to make a prudent Else of it remains as peculiar as ever. All chance of im provement is often superseded, for the new tenant ex hausts his little capital its paying the tenant right, comes moneyless into his occupation, meets his rent with diffi culty, irregularly, and soon not at all, toils and moils under a growing burden, is unable to cope with his em barrassments, and at length takes his own tenant right to market—gets his payment from some hungry compe titor, who, perhaps, borrows it for the purpose—finds the whole of it swamped by the landlord and other cre ditors, and quits his abode and subsistence a beggar and a desperado, like his predecessor, to be followed in due time, along the same dreary path, by his successor. Such is the history and mystery of Irish tenant right. Whether good or evil, this is the law of the land to the peasanty and small farmers. This is the agrarian code enforced by the sanction of assassination. Landlords and tenant alike, if they violate it, fall victims to their temerity. The murderer is as impartial as the death he deals. He is the executioner of an unwritten law. It is quite a mistake to represent landlords as the exclusive objects of outrage. The poorest peasant offender who takes a potato patch without settling with the previous occupant, is in peril quite as great as the largest " tyrant of his fields." Distress is not the source of these out rages. They are least frequent in the most suffering districts. "It is the cause, it is the cause, my soul." Hence the sympathy of the population. There would be no such toleration for murder committed in the pur suit of plunder. The " wild justice "is what the people recognise. And not only so, but it is evidently recog nised also by the Catholic priesthood. The Ronaish Church believes in tenant-right. Its clergy assert it on the hustings to excited thousands. True, they de nounce the crimes ; what priesthood would not? Priest hoods always preach morality. When they persecute, it is for the glory of God and the good of souls. They imprison, hang, and burn, from the love of their neigh bour and for his salvation. We have been told so a thou sand times. But the Irish priesthood, in all that plenitude of power which confession, penance, excommunication, and absolution bestow, has not put down murder, or rather it has not put down that species of murder which is perpetrated for the enforcement of the tenant-right law. There is no want of charity in the inference that exhortations against crime, however fervent, are crip pled in their influence by adhesion to the moral autho rity of the agrarian code. The Church does not strike with its full force. The blow falls short. The mur derer remembers how good his cause is, and forgets how bad his deed is in the estimation of the priest. His conscience is not scared. Self-honour is not aroused. Opinion keeps him in countenance. The secret tribunal which he serves only (as he assumes) dooms the guilty; courts of law inflict martyrdom. Were the Government to announce some measure tending to reconcile this unwritten with the written law, they would give their " Crime and Outrage" Bill a moral force of which it is at present destitute. It is vain to try the old warfare of the physical against the mental. The " Tipperary boys" have to be disarmed, not only of their pistols but their prejudices. You cannot bayonet an opinion, or knock down a notion with a policeman's bludgeon. The Parliamentary law is confronted by the local law. Until they be made as nearly as possible to harmonise, there will be no per- manent cessation of outrage. Disarming will not do. Murder has many weapons beside the musket. Stones will beat out the brains. Every hedge is an armoury, and every ruined hovel. Popular sympathy cannot be produced by Act of Parliament; nor put down by Act of Parliament. To settle the country, the question must be settled. Make ono rule of right for all classes, concocted from what is just in the claims of all classes. Let the moral blow and the physical blow fall at the same time, and paralyze not only the murderer's arm but his thought. Isolate crime from any semblance of justice. Strip its excuses, till it stand in the naked de formity of guilt. Consecrate the right between land lord and tenant, or between tenant and tenant, by the soundness of acknowledged law. Draw the lino with the carefullest regard to fairness, and that will begin to appear, even to the peasant mind, " a murder, which he thought a sacrifice." This is the best chance for stop ping bloodeled; and even for gaining, for the law, the alhigiance of Tipperary. Difficulties will, no doubt, attend the adjustment of such a question. Tho minimum of tenant right will not be enough for one class, and it maximum will be too much for another class. Could the existing tenants be compensated by portions of their land in freehold, per- haps the wisest course might be at once to pronounce the recognition of its claim, and its abolition. Its ope ration is by no means favourable to agricultural im• provement. Rarely can it be any real benefit to the peasantry. Its affinities are more with a feudal state PUBLICA TIONS. NEW WORK BY 11R.

Excesses are always injurious ; the gift, which when used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when abused, the prolific source of mischief, and of greater or less injury to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on ihe nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity of misery to the knrattn frame, than any other to which it is subject. This work contains an accurate and complete account of the deservedly andof Anatomy and Phyedelogy of the Reproductive Org ans, their relative conditions In health and disea se . It requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can he of mere importance than the preservation of the health, and of the physical capabilities of which every man should be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired in early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, hut erroneously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for . assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, lie forgets that accurate discrimination in ascertaining the causes of disease, sympathy with tile sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, las-a rt:Ably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, slid to the medical man who can show by id.; posse-sion of the requisite legal qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr. LA'3lEla has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas testify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a guarantee fc' his professional experience, which has reference almost solely to U ....reatment of these diseases.

MURDEROUS ASSAULT ON BEN CAUNT, THE ENG LISH CJIAMPION.—Last night, about half-past eleven o'clock, a most wanton and murderous outrage was com mitted on the champion of the prize-ring, at his house, the Coach and Horses, St. Martin's-lane. It appeared, that at the time above stated, another pugilist, named the Tipton Slasher, entered the Coach and Horses, and from some unknown cause proceeded to the utmost abuse and annoyance, when suddenly he attacked Caunt in the most ferocious ma: ,e i rff n seu e ence r citei, a l n toNh_ t ia l a , satt b i efor e the friends of n i n e uum b r d r i brutality l mo i t iu 3: set s a o uh n u a tnv,es eetixt7spuelecadttetebdrulyi7fe)ouarlrdrtiicilieCltienirttfleetorreß friends, who with great trouble succeeded in clearing the house of the gang.

All kinds were fine, and really fine corn was the turn higher. Beans and Peas were very dull ; but In dian Corn and Meal commanded rather more attention.

Tua WooL TRADE.—Some surprise has been oc casioned in this trade in consequence of the large and increasing importations of the raw material from Syria, and that contracts should have been entered into for 1848, amounting to twice those of 1346 and 1E47. It would seem that such demand had been occasioned by the sole consumption of one houso alone,—that of Messrs. Swain and Co., of 379, Oxford-street, who make up la registered paletot with this wool. The qualities of the Syrian wool are said to ba superior to others for its softness, elasticity, the fine surface of its cloth, and the fact that it does not require in its preparation the che mical agents which serve both to rot and give an offen sive effluvium to other clothes. ofsation has th p e aiti d f e u a l th sen • ER.— TUESDAY.— str A ict m b o y st SHOCKING DEATH OF THE HON.

Lord Sandon was burnt about the face and hands in his attempt to save the life of his niece. During the night Miss Ryder's sufferings were dreadful. She never rallied, and yesterday expired. She is said to have been warming herself, and her dress being of light material, it was drawn to the bars by the draught, and instantaneously fired. This shocking event has produced the deepest grief The accounts from Flushing of the late tempestu ous weather are very disastrous. In the night of Tuesday a French brig was lost on the bank of Zetland, and the captain • and two of the sailors were drowned. The rest of the crew succeeded in getting to Flushing in the ship's boat. Fishermen who have returned to Antwerp give a frightful account of the quantities of masts, spars, planks, seamen's chests, and other fragments of wreck with which the sea is covered, so that it is feared that a great many vessels ha!e been lost. s IT 1..
