This lady had the following letter inserted in the "Times" news paper on Aug. 7,184 G. 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 ilerbary, 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 11 e. 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 et 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 on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair frcm coming away with the comb, make it strong, and - nevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A. few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product et the roost aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing 3dour removes headache and makes it a mest necessary companion o the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops the grown of the hea I ; if v •ry bad, repeat it every quarter at an our. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces air on children's heads in a few appplications. If used on intents' eads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on tho brain as to pre vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—See pamphlet of testimonials.

MORE FoRGERIBS.—EAST INDIAN RAILWAY. — For some time past it has been a matter of considerable sue. 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 his produced the effect upon the market in consequence of the quantity of scrip thrown upon it. The imitation of the companv'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 uhtil 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.

IRELAND. THE LORD-LIEUTENANT'S HEALTH. DUBLIN, MAlt 2.—The reports to-day continue to be rather favourable, the bulletin at nine o'clock, A.M statinz that his Excellency passed another good night, and is somewhat better this morning. We regret to state that, notwith s tanding 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 tractedto a much longer period than was anticipated in Ithe 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 the untoward event : Mr. Wilson, brother to Mr. Wilson, attorney of Rock hill, County Roscommon, visited the family of Mr. Kelly, at his residence, at Scregg, distant about ten miles from this town, on Monday . afternoon, apparently with t he 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 be 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, 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 look after his horse. 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. Maypovealer, about three miles distant, promising amply to remunerate him for the trouble. The servant refused, pleading as an apology that his master would not sufbr 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 fur the avowed purpose_ of complainitr-of tie servant to his master. In the house Mr. ViAtm ns t Mra. K.diy, 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 groimd. 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 obliged, 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 ano•her scuffle ensued, Mr. Wilson inflicting other wounds on his captor, which soon left him free, and which advantage he availed himself by taking to the op ni 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 of 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 yerness of the family eff,cted her escape thropgh the parlour window unhurt trirterthis hour nolleath has• taken place. Mr s .

On inquiry it was stated that they had just arrived from Ireland, and were waiting to be located...in some part of the metropolis. The stmerednaforenoon a very inhabitants, some of Whom did not feel very comfortable at the mob that assembled so suddenly, applied to the police authorities on the subject ; but such was the peaceable and orderly conduct of the poor 'creatures that it was thought quite unnecessary to disturb them; and by the arrange ments made, they departed from the neighbourhood as quietly as they entered it.

MAY 4, 1847. ta, MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. MONDAY EVENING. During the early part_ oi the day reports were circu lated that the Russian Govertiment had made arranke rnents 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, although 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 bad, 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 fur sbme 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 Frerich 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 Amsterlam Bourse of the 30th ult. mention that general flatness was the chief charac teristie 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 vursts of the source of the Neva, and we may consequently expect the same event here in about a vvet.k. In a fortnight from that time the ship pi h 14- erally comaierfEerirrfOliirtarlf.'" -- lreriftlitig the exchange it is observed, " Although our pr esent rates or 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 advice 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 rued as high as 110 to 120 thalers per wispel, according to quality. Rice was also scarce and in demand, Carolina fetching 10i to 11 thalers ; Patna, 10 1-6 thalers ; and Bengal, 81 to I thalers.—Times. • ^ rot Pam& SD. A. ;LLIGENCE. SPORTING /—,' IV ?

The Derby betting was heal Tier than we have known it fur some time past, and it hi ad the effect of reversing the positions previously held by the two Danebury cracks, and of very seriously vejudicing the soi-disant Premier, Van Tromp ; the mot tament against the latter in fact, was the grand feature at f the day, and its import ance will be appreciated when •.%v xi state that upwards of 20,0001. was laid against hit n at various prices, commencing at 10 ,to 1, inermoing to 16 to 1, and closing at 12 to 1, the hot bet being 1,200 to 100. His enemies are not yet appeal, and it will require liberal investmen is to keep him at his present quotation. Of the other Derby horses, Conyngham, Wanota, Nottingham, Oxonian, and two new outsiders, were most in request. Ulysses was s en t to the right about. The Suffolk Stakes betting was on a limited scale, and the only mare in demand for the Oaks was the Farmer's Daughter.

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 of 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.:—Bingham, 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, Souter Johnny, Bannockburn, Limestone, Thanam dou dahbal, But terton, Bubble, colt by Harkaway out of Waterwitch, The Monk, Signet, The Admiral, Ahwal, Eryx, Brother to Millepede and Whirligig ; this class, and the " illustrious obscures," have not the winner of the Derby among them, of that I ant convinced, but the lot I intend conning next week has, beyond the possibility of a doubt. My presiding deity, good fortune, which has attended all 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 of, as the Chester Cup, which the various prophetic annunciations put forth last week clearly show ; Sweetmeat on whom I had in vested my most brilliant hopes having been 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 to go is to me incomprehensible. Sir Martin, also, though in my opinion not equal to hil, unfortuuate 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 SUCCCCSF, 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 soya. 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 Hnorrah 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 st lbi Yrs at lb Jinglepot The Cur ...... Lochinvar... ...... aged 7 13IMogulistan Colleen b awn ... u Hydrangea 4 7 1 And, perhaps, Ukraine 4 7 1 Farthing Candle 4 613 Scarlet Runner 5 6 13, And Crozier 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 Stakeswill 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 sovs. each, will have among the starters:—Teetotum, Nectar, Cracow, and the Sheriff—my veto, being in fay( nr 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 M. Harley, the stage manager. Guy Manneriag 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 Ton 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 Engli'sh Gentleman." A troupe of Ethiopian Minstrels appeared, and the new spectacle of the Desest concluded the entertainments. The house was crowded ice 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 eud of a long, and an eventful season, I appear before y ou in my wonted position, to give you seine slight account of my steward ship. I 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 ene 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 the interests of a theatre, and positive impedithents 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, that if she was singing here, and 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 understanding which so long existed, still exit.ts• with the committee of this theatre and myself—a body of gentlemen actuated at'all times by the utmost liberality and the best feelings. They renewed my lease of their theatre; e theatre; and when I asked them to ca ncel that renewal. to enable those (who continue to excite the doubtful question of the legitimate dram a ) to compete fur i with possession, their assent to my req uest was con an expression of great regret. I f the theatre, from such 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. Belleham bors, No. 424, Strand, bookseller, had been er.tered during the night, and several hundred volumes of valuable works carried off by the burglars, who are supposed to have effected their entrance with skeleton keys. The value of the pro perty taken is about 1501. ' . .

' DURHAM UNIVERSITY.—SeveraI cases of acknt: tv ledged fever having occurred in Durham, the Warden ud Senate of the University have deemed it expedient to tat e a medical opinion upon the subject. After due inquiry, it. • .7aa determined that it did not seem requisite to disperse the members of the University, but that it 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 api-li cation, and every facility afforded to alleviate the inconve niences that may arise. Some of the students have ava , ied themselves of this permission ; but the lectures, as wel, as the ordinary business of the town, are proceeding in the ee -1 gular manner. MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.—On Thursday I est, the '9th ult., the marriage of the Marquis of Salisbury IT - th the Lady Mary Catherine SAckville West, was solemnises'. at Knowle, in Kent, the residence of the Earl and Coul.tetus Amherst. The invitations were limited to the nearest rela tions of the two noble families, and the Duke of Wellin.l2l , .n. At two o'clock a dtgeune, in every respect worthy of the ,c -casion and of the place, was served up in the spacious ; much admired cartoon gallery. During the repast the he. :th of the noble bride and bridegroom was given by the Earl Amherst, and responded to by the Earl De la Warr. 'a° Duke of Wellington returned to town after the ceremony in the chapel. The Noble and Gallant Duke was Ival.r..'y cheered on his departure by the people assembled at tae gates. The bells of Seven Oaks rang merrily during tbA clay. THE LATE DUKE OF AEG YI L learn II at the remains of his Grace are to be consigned to the tomb to-morrow, at Inverary, in the mausoleum where'n are de posited the bodies of his noble ancestors.

It was nearly the sixth - hour, - post meridian, ',a 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 s•rm.. metry of We.sthall, and his muscular development, for height (five feet eight inches). are unmatchable; and 'lib opponent Seward, although somewhat shorter and darker, like the days at Chtistmas, is a model of a man. Atter thirteen false starts, they bounded ofi, Nivard, at the first of the attempts enumerated, slipping and falling down. For t he first .fifty yards, there was but a trifling difference betwoeu le competitors. Shortly afterwards, however, the Ammi, sn 'henomenon showed in advance, and, amid cries of " Seward wins," ran in a clear three yards in advance. Some ides of the speed may be formed, when we state that the 120 r+ ds were covered in eleven seconds and a quarter! reckoned ti 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 Jove 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 oared on the winner. A friend from Calais offered 101. to 21. on Seward, but we did not hoar it taken. .

ITALY. Pope Pius IX. bids fair to be the great reformer of his age. lie 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 measure's to be adopted for the amelioration of the condition of the people. This important measare, 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 Sovereiga. Ills 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 government, 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 thatthe choice of the persons should answer the intentions of the Holy Father. The duties should have no other incentive than the public and iio 6tref object but the tuivaittage 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 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 I" " 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. OSBORNE.—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 fingers 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.—Maccleifield 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 lie 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 p artially re cruited her health and strength, and fine weather setting in, she left. The principal witness agains t her was her own child. She stated that she accompan ied her mother to Royston, and there she was req uested to go to Mr. P Matthew's and purchase, six penn yworth of laudanum, This was refused. Her m other then the it, and it way home, was furnished. Oa their mother went be hind a haystack in a remote par t e' of a plantation, and pouring some of the laudanum n a cup desired the child to drink it. She tasted it, and findingwoitulbd r bitter , declined to take it. Her pa ren t t o ld h er s h e away i f she still refused. The child wou ld no t d r i n k 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 htr 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 i trial at the , next assizes for administering poison to her daughter with intent to kill.

TUE 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 for more than a month accumulating 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 bunker , is tight 'as they lace made her forehold, throu,;ll which 01, Saturday she buoyed herself up, as oar correspondent was to the ship, several told by some of the people belonging feet at the fore end,-IVetery Telegraph. i s s r I'
