OFFICE, 26, CORNHILL, LONDON. Capital 500,0001. Empowered by Act of Parliament. The system of Deferred Annuities, originally proposed by the Na tional bean Fued Life Assurance Society, for the better advance rnef it of the objects of Benefit and Friendly Societcs, having received the approbation of a considerable hotly f the active members and officers of those Institutions, and the Directors ot the National ~0 0n Fund Society having been urgently solicited by them to estabiieli Branch Ottice in cennexion with those societies and the Operative Classes generally, in which their services night be successfully en eaged, a Committee has lii•en sanctioned by the Directors 10 Open communication with the different S cieties, with the view of more effectually d sseminating the valuable benefits amongst the suing trious classes, and a plat. hits been ironosed with that object. ADDRESS )F THE COMM ITTEE. Many praiseworthy but ineffectual attempts have been made to bring within the scope and operation of the laws of mot 'Linty anti money the savings of the industrious classes, as well as various cal culations regulating their distribution, having for their object either immediate, contingent, or deferred benefits. A slight examination, however, will demonstrate that the con struction of these ase• eiations or societies is defective; and that in stead of affording an easy' acc—ss and a free choice of i ;vestment, which should be the oriyilege of every one, they contine too ear rwly the channel through which a benefit can alone lie secured ; and, in proportion as their action is circumscribed and enitiarrasital, their utility is united. For example, it is not to every individual or to every class amongst the industrious community, that provision In case of sickness is an object of such importance as to call for a pecnniary sacrifice ; whi e to others such a provision appears more attractive, and the hiss of employment caused by sickness Is a risk against which they desire to he guarded. For this anomalous state of things there Is an effective and simple remedy ; that is to say, Instead of covering, by one weekly or annual payment, two or more contingent or deterred hellcats, so to arrange it that each separate benefit should have its separate contribution. It is to not having ohs trved this rule, and to the association of two dissimilar fan...lions, and by confounding a sick allowance and ae annuity fund in one and the sell same payment, that much of the evils and mismanagement has arisen amongst Benefit Societies. No mechanisai can he so perfect for the management 01 a sick - , ees-fund provision as that afforded by the constant sectional AM/- elation and watchfulness of the several members composing it. By this means a thorough and constant check is mutually. exercised, and none but the really sick are likely to become chargeable noon it. But the same perfection, or the Same se amity, is seldom attainable where a fund is to be accumulated through a succession of years, and where results are to bear oat calculations, money investment being in general beyond the experience of the Industrious classes. For these reasons it is clear that the funds destined for a provision in sickness should be kept entirely distinct from the rind intended as a provision for o'd age : lst Because the laws ot sickness and mortality, though apparently Connected, do not depend on the same calculation. 2d. Because there are a great number who, in order to secure a larger provision in old age are willing to take the risk of providing for probable sickness on themselves. 34. Because the responsibility of managing a provision for old ago, continued to a distant period is, in a great measure, incompatible with voluntary associations, fluctuating laws, and holly dual irre sponsibility, and more exposed to a failure in the performance of such a contract, that when undertaken on the same principles that the n samee for r ordinarily govern commercial bodies. 411 t. Because the e x p enses o f p r oviding for sickness mu st, when lotted t i h nish still more this provision : nor is i? yrislom or good policy to en danger tp;etysmakeent.:7tithheportohveirs for old age, tend to dimi .ion impressed with these convictions, and with en intimate knowledge of the discussions passing within the bosom of many of the existing Friendly and Benefit Societies, the parties whose names are here onto attached, have had several meetings, with a view of proposing or adopting a remedy for those and other evils ; and in this manner to give an ad !Would force to the principles of brotherhoi al, unity, and mutual aid, on which friendly societies are based, by guarding them from the risks of sudden dissolution. After much diligent search ETlOn.st the combinations ingeniously proposed from time to thne for the attainment of one of the principal objects of Friendly and Benefit Societies, they have found none equal in simplicity and comprehensiveness ot design, as well as forethought and sympathy tor the wants of the industrious classes, as the plan proposed by the National Lo in Fund Lite Assurance Society. It is true that the author of that plan has furnished an argument against provision in sickness; but, without concurring in the immediate ex pediency ot - abandoning a provision in sickness, no one can read the other part of the plan itself, without being fully sa isfled that the convenience and safety of Friendly and Llenefit Societies will be greatly secured and consulted, by separati n g the payment of a sick allowance front an annuity for old age. A deputation having waited on the directors of the National Loan Fund, who met in the handsomest manner the overtures made to them for the establishment of a separate office for the transaction of business connected with Friendly and Benefit Societies, and the in dustrious clases in general, resolutions have been entered into, con stituting the undersigned as a Committee, with power to add to its number, for the promulgation of the benefits contained in the an nexed orospectu., under the guarantee of the Capital of the society, and which, without interfering with the numerous objects connected with the institution of Benefit and Friendly Societies, will in their opinion greatly enlarge their sphere of utility, and afford a protection to the working classes in old age and adversity, which nothing up to the present day has adequately secured to them.

The Court of Assizes of Saragossa was occupied a short time since with the trial of Pedro Cal dessa, the proprietor of a small inn near Sos, in Navarre, Paula Murillo, his wile, and Carmen Cardessa, their daughter, for the murder of a man named Gregorio Orensauz, re• siding in the valley of A eso, two leagues distant from the residence of the prisoners. It appeared from the evi deuce that the deceased had left home on the 22d of September to collect money due to him by various per eons. Some days having passed over without his re• turning, his family became uneasy, and inquiries were iesti , usad. N..thint• .. , rther was discovved than that he day he left home. The male prisoner and his daughter asserted that they knew nothing about the proceedings of the deceased, but the mother allowed that he had called at the house, but after a short stay had taken his departure. Nothing coming to light to crimi nate them, they were merely subjected to several Iwo months without b e i ng t a ken into custody. months after a hum an l eg was di sc overed in the little river 9neella, close to the prisoner's residence , and search being instituted, th e remaining parts of the bo d y w er e found except th e head, whi c h had been apparently cut off with some h eavy instrument lik e a cleaver. The limbs were all d rea df ully hacked an d mu tilated ; some of the articles o f c l othing were recogn i se d as having be longed to th e d eceased. Still noth i ng h a d been disco vered to fix the crime on any party in particular , w hen Paula Mu r ill o b e i ng taken ill, amd considering herself on the point of death, sent for the authorities and made a confession to the followin effect:—" The deceased had called at h er h ouse on September 22, and bad demanded some money due to him for wheat. Not having it, she desired him to wait until her husband r e turned. She prepared b rea kf ast for him at which he d ra nk copiously, and at last wa n t e d to take liberties with her. On his laying hands on her, she pushed him so violently away that he staggered back and fell wish his head against the corner of a chest of drawers. She, being dread fully alarmed, went to raise him up and help him, when she found that he was dead, without having shed a drop of blood. Being afraid of the conse quences of such an accident, she determined to con ceal the body, an d wrapping it up in a coarse cloth, she carried it down to the cellar, and hid it under a quantity of fagg o t s . S he lett it there f or several weeks, when the heap of faggot s b e 'd nn i ng to run low, she got afraid of her husb an d discovcrine the whole matter, and taking a cleaver she c ut t h e b o d y i nto pieces, and placing the limbs in two ba s k e t s careful l y cov ered over, she her self took one, and h er d aug h ter t he other, to the bank of the river. She then sent the young woman on an errand to the neighbouring village, and during her ab sence emptied the baskets into the water. The daughter was quite ignorant of what the baskets contained; in the hurry of filling the b as k ets s h e h a d forgotten the head in the cellar; she mutil a t e d t h e f ea t u res to prevent recog nition, and then buried it in a piece of waste gr.und." This confession, bi coming k nown , excited the greatest com motion, and the w oman soon a f ter ge tting better, s h e , her husband and the d aug h ter were a rrested. The au thorities having caused a very minute search to be made in the house where the prisoners had lived, found a num ber of French sf. pieces concealed, and those the daughter admitted she had seen with her mother. It was proved that precisely the same number of sf. pieces had been paid on the morning of the murder to the deceased by another party. The mother, on the other hand, denied that she knew anything about the money in question. After a trial of great length, the Court acquitted the father and daughter, but not believing that the deceased had met with his death accidentally, found the mother guilty of murder. The Court at once sentenced her to death, and ordered the execution to take place in front of the Town-hall of Sos. This sentence was carried nto;executicn on the 21st ult. MYSTERIOUS CASE. WARNINSTF.II, SATURDAY.—During the present week considerable excitement has prevailed throughout the town and the surrounding districts, by the following mysterious discovery, which gave rise to a report that one, if not two persons, had been savagely murdered in a meadow near the Old Church. on turning it over, to their no stnall It appeared that on Monday last some persons, as they were passing along the bank of a mill-pond, which runs through the meadow near the church, perceived some as,twhellyeniound that it Wai the body of an aged thing in the water.

VS riation to report in the foreign wool trade from our The accounts from Austria and Prussia continue to to vise of large contracts being made for English and con tinental houses, at an advance of 2(1. to 3d. per lb. on last tair's prices. The Netherland manufacturers, and French : th d Saxon col - Ethers have almost entirely cleared the German markets of useful wools. ENGLISH WOOL, LEEDS, APRIL 16.—The demand fot :combing and clothing wool this week has not varied; it continues languid, and prices without any material al teration. Down combing wools are not plentiful, and go off more freely than the deeper grown kinds. WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, APRIL 15.—We are still without alteration in our trade; no doubt the late strin gent measures of the Bank of England have caused us to have less doing than otherwise we might have had. iNethcrs are flat, and the stocks of them at market be ing large, prices are barely maintained. In hogs, though we have not a large demand, it is quite equal to the supply, and storks are decreasing. so that it our supply does not increase, which is not likely before clip, tne price of them must improve a little, or the consumption be driven on wethers; the latter is more likely, as we believe the spinners are carrying on an unremunerative business. LEEDS.—We have had very quiet markets at the Cloth Halls on Saturday and Tuesday. There was rather more done in fine goods, but in low qualities there was considerably less sold than for some weeks past. The advance of the rate of discount by the Bank of Eng land has the effect of stopping speculation, and induces great caution on the part of the merchants. The cold ness of the season causes the spring trade to be dull, and few buyers having made their appearance in the town, the business in the warehouses has been less than an average as compared with the sales of the last few weeks. BRADFORD, APRIL 15.—The demand for wool is slug gish. The spinners buy with great caution and for pre sent use, as they expect that, when the now clip comes into the market, the article will be at an easier price. There is a steady improvement in the yarn market, so far as demand is concerned, but prices are still on an un profitable scale. The Russian houses are busy, and are exporting large quantities of yarns In the piece market there was an average business done in dress goods. Moreens and other heavy goods are dull of sale. MANCEESTER, THURSDAY.—We have had as gloomy a week in our cloth and yarn markets as can well be conceived. In the face of a continued advance on the staple, n o hi g h er rates are su b m i tte d to. Th e impossi bility- of discounting India bills added greatly to the dull ness, otherwise a large business would be done to the East. The orders from America are considerable. IMPROVEMENT in LOCOMOTION. An invention has just been projected by Mr. E. Gallo way, which promises to supply a most serious deside ratum in the present construction of locomotive engines, and to exercise a very important influence on the pro. gress of locomotion generally. It has long been ac knowledged that one of the greatest difficulties with which the railway steam-engine had to contend was that of acquiring a bite upon the rails superior to that supplied by gravitation. The amount of nipping or biting power derived from that principle by the vertical driving-wheel now in use has been found quite insuffi cient in foggy weather, when the rails are in a greasy state from the moisture upon them, and upon inclines with severe. gradients. Under such circumstances the driving-wheel slips and the engine makes little or no progress. Mr. Galloway's invention is principally in tended to overcome this difficulty in working the present I. comotivo engine, and from the experiments made the other day, first with a working model at the western gallery of Ilungerford.market, and afterwards on the Great Western Railway, at Maidenhead, there appears to be very little doubt as to its complete success. The invention consists in adding two driving-wheels, hori zontal or inclined, to the present locomotive; these wheels acting on each side of a middle rail laid between the ordinary rails, and being pleased simultaneously against the opposite sides of the rail by means of ad justing screws acting upon springs with any required degree of force. By such an arrangement it is maniti:st (bat a bite or adhesion may be obtained far beyond what is due to the weight of the engine, and that thereby the difficulties may be obviated which at pre sent arise from greasy rails and heavy gradients. Mr. Galloway contemplates the application of his invention to engines as at present constructed with vertical driving-wheels, and expresses his conviction that such a combination will not be found inconsistent with high velocity. In the meantime, however, he has, we think, prudently confined himself to demonstrating the effi ciency of the horizontal driving-wheels, unaided by vertical driving-wheels, in overcoming steep inclines. At Hungerford-market, the working model with hori zontal driving-wheels went with great ease up an in cline of 1 in 6, and the following statement, drawn up by Mr. Gooch, locomotive superintendent of the Great Vestern Railway, with reference to experiments made "The following is the result of the experiment I made wish Mr. Galloway's locomotive engine, in which the driving-wheels are placed horizontally, and act against the sides of a centre rail:— Weight of enginss Ditto of lo.td " This weight was taken at a slow speed up an in cline of 1 in 19, with a pressure on the boiler of 601 b on the inch, and calculating the power of the en g i n e and actual duty performed, we have as follows : With steam at 601 b. in the boiler, the average eth , ctive pres sure in the pistons, after deducting back pressure, will he about 501 b. on the inch, then the area of the two cylinders 308 k< 50 - -=15,4001b3., and double stroke of piston equal 32 inches, and circumference of driving wheel 116 inches. Therefore, as 116 inches : 15,400: : 32 : 4,248 tractive,power on,the rim of the wheel. And gravity per ton 1 in 19=1181b. Friction ditto 71b. 125 b;,433.5 tons-- - -4,1871b. Resistance overcome. " Therefore, 4,248-4,187=611b., the total loss from the friction of the working parts of the engine, which I think is as small a loss as can be hoped for in any class of engines. And from the facility of apply ing screws to increase the weight on the driving-wheels to any re quired amount, there is no difficulty from slipping. " DANIEL GOOCH. "In explanation of the preceding, it is necessary to state that the former diameter of the driving-wheels of the experimental engine was eight feet, and the horizontal ones are three feet. The tractive power of the engine before alteration was about 1,6001 b. The increase of tractive force, therefore, is as 4,1871 b. : 1,6001 b." It is also only fair to explain that the experiment was made with " Bacchus," the oldest engine in the com pany's possession, and long ago worn out and disused. The leadidg advantages claimed by Mr. Galloway for his invention are, that the adhesive power being inde pendent of gravity can be adjusted according to the gra dient or load, while the train is in motion ; tnat by ap plying a brake at once to the middle rail, the train in descending any gradient may be retarded independently of the wheels, and also the risk of c , dlisions be avoided ; that sharp curves may be traversed almost as easily and quite as safely as straight lines ; that punctuality on railways will thereby be better secured, and the neces sity for tunnelling, heavy cuttings, and embankments to a great degree obviated. Whether all or any of these advantages will be se cured by Mr. Galloway's inventi.m, it must remain for a course of detailed practical experiments to decide; but in the meantime the credit of a very ingenious, a very simple, and, to all appearances, a very practicable contrivance, cannot be denied to him. The difficulties which he claims to have overcome have for many years occupied the attention and eluded the ingenuity of en gineers. Some time ago the notion of a centre rail and a horizontal driving-wheel was projected by Mr. Vig nolles and Mr. Errixon, but as they only proposed ap plying it on the one side of the rail, they were unsuc cessful. Mechanical contrivances of a similar character have since been attempted both in this country and abroad, but they have always turned out to be failures, and if Mr. Galloway's invention can bo combined with the present construction of the locomotive, so as to fulfil his expectations in regard to it, the only wonder will be hew for upwards of 16 years so really simple an expe dient for obviating admitted difficulties could have es caped undiscovered. Mr. Galloway states, that he can secure on the narrow gauge, horizontal or inclined, driving wheels of six feet diameter, and on the broad gauge eight feet, so as to act in conjunction with the ver tielo driving-wheels. lie states, too, that this is practi cable at a very moderate expense. ARRIVAL OF MADLLE. JESINV LlND.—This cele brated songstress arrived in London on Saturday afternoon, accompanied by Mr. Lumley. She came by the General Steam Navigation Company's steam -ship Sir Edward Banks, that left Ostend in the morning. In the evening she was present at the performance of the opera at her Majesty's Theatre, and occupied a box on the first tier. The Swedish nightingale is a lady of kindly countenance, fair hair, and fresh complexion; her eves are soft and mild, and the ex pression of her face is intelligent and ingenuous. The Italians have a phrase, 'oho sciolio, to indicate the combination of in tellect and truthfulness which is manifested in her fitatures; and the Germans generally term it freinullich. Neither words have a literal meaning in English, as applied toliuman expression ; but ability and candour are their synonyms in our tongue. Jenny Lind is of them er id a d sp le eet h i e s i height, s welliT g ; , formed, and of some seven or eight and twenty years of age— ll as far as appearances can be credited. il her most prominent character seems to b e modeity.

THE MEANS OF NATIONAL EDIT CATION. TO LORD JOHN RUSSELL. My Lord Russell,—Of the results, moral, scientifical, and useful, which must necessarily emanate from insti tutions of an educational character, we need only appeal to the experience of the past to discover some of the g ? od fruits which have arisen ; of the greater amount t good which they have produced we can form no esti mate. To accelerate the progress of society in its best ionises is indeed a work worthy of the highest ambition •,4; the wise and the good ; posterity will do justice to I lu.se exertions in a manner suited to the appreciation which they will then have of their value. I cannot, however, consent that the advantages so manifestly de irable should be obtainable upon terms of injustice to the country at large, when it is clearly discoverable that by a proper insight into the resources provided by the bequests of charitable individuals, an immense sum remains unappropriated to the purposes for which, by the benevolent donors, it was originally intended. I place myself thus prominently before your Lordship from the knowledge I have of the facts, however re• markable may be the sources of information to which I have access, that if the information contained in the report of the Select Committee upon the subject, made thirty years since, were allowed to become public there is a sum of one million of pounds sterling per annum, to which we have a national claim for the purposes of national education, and which only ' wants to be well looked after to be got hold of, and which the serious consequences of an untimely inter ference with certain vested interests is perhaps the prin cipal reason for concealment. Perhaps the First Minister of the Crown will condo. sceud to inform the country why the evidence which would comprise the contents of fifty volumes was not allowed to be printed. You are not a young statesman, my Lord ; but my Lord B----m, who is an old stager, and is indebted to his present elevation partly in consequence of his sub serviency to the selfish principles of the Whigs, can in form the world (if he chooses) of all the particulars of this infamous transaction, which stamps the authors of _ _ it with a character of the most scandalous political dis honesty, and is a virtual rubbery of one million per annum for thirty years of the people of the.e realms. Now that the pretended necessity has been put forward by the Whigs for the appropriation of the money out of the public purse, it is, I conceive, the opportunity which gives us a right to demand the restitution of these stolen properties. lithe industry of man, in its past state of physical and scientific development, hath given to the world so large an earnest of its capabilities to promote the highest hap piness of the species, by the surprising surplus of means which it has placed at the disposal of the rich for the general interests of humanity, how consistent with the strictest justice is the circumstance, that the reflux of this high tide of wealth and pros perity should return to fertilise and rejoice, by a thousand tributary streams, the fountains of universal knowledge, peace, love, and happiness. Without perhaps intending so palpable a demonstration of the political power of the middle classes, the League thus became the pioneers of the expression of popular opinion, and the unconscious promoters of the democratic principle. That the progress of poli tical freedom should have been so remarkably accelerated by the opulent portion of the community, is only one of those strange anomalies that have so often been found preg nant with the most important consequences, thus carry ing on the process of restitution on a liberal and ex tended scale. The British nation is the only one, in the great political drama, thatean confidently appeal to history in support of those claims to the best uses of freedom, which by other European powers have been so desecrated. She hath in herself eminently and essentially the ele ments of true nobility and moral greatness. But as the highest qualities are of the slowest growth, so has there never yet been given to the people of this great country, a Government in every respect honest enough to forward her highest interests, and fully to develope its magnificent resources. She has been, is, and will continue to be, the harbinger of peace to the world, in the equal distribution of the balance of power —why should she not be happy in herself ? And what may not be anticipated of the improved destinies of man kind, when, at perfect harmony within herself, her ener gies are directed externally to the conservation of all that is ',North living for in the constitution of society, and internally to the establishment of those high and holy principles which must one day make truth their only empire, and universal happiness their sole aim. My Lord, a truly high and noble destiny is mapped out for you, the history of nations affords but ignoble comparisons with the power which you can sway, for good or evil, in this remarkable era of the world's his tory; may you live to accomplish all that is desirable in the difficult task which Providence has designed for you, and, treading with the security of a nation's friendship in the path only of dignity and true honour, realise our best and happiest aspirations. Your Lordship's obedient servant, DURHAM. HEALTH OF TOWN'S DILL. On Saturday the Rev. 1)r. Spry took the chair, and the gent ral parochial business having been disposed of, Mr. GARRErr, at the head of a numerous depu tation, entered the vestry-room with an address from the parochial committee, which, after complimenting the vestry upon their opposition to the Health of Towns' Bill, called upon them to persevere in that opposition, as the bill contemplated the subversion of local self govern went, and the introduction of the baneful principles of centralisation. Tho addressed recommended a deputa tion to government, a conference of the Metropolitan parochial Boards, and interviews with the Members of Parliament in order to secure the defeat of the most ob jectionable and unjustifiable measure that had ever been proposed. Mr. G. DANIEL moved the adoption of the address, and having statistically proved that those portions of the parish under the government of the vestry were better regulated in a sanatory point of view. and at a cheaper rate, than those under the control of the Woods and Forests, denounced the exemption of the City from the effects of the Bill as a cowardly act, and denounced the Bill itself as the substitution of nomina tion, patronage, and plural voting, for the representa tive and elective principles.—(Hear, hear.) Sir PETER LAURIE seconded the motion, and said that the Government would make the Bill a medium for ob taining appointments and pensions for their relatives and friends.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. WILsoN analysed and severely criticised the Bill. Mr. LAURIE, the City Pleader, recommended the vestry not to let the erroneous opinion of their being opposed to the objects of th e measure go abroad, for they only found fault with its machinery. Sir B. LULL, Bart., M.P., promised to give the Bill his most determined opposition, and although nut authorised to say so, he might, with confidence, state that the Bill would not be persevered in eluting the present session. —(Hear, hear.) And he was fully satis fied that in its present shape it never would pass into law.—(Hoar, hear) lie assured the vestry that since the introduction of the measure so numerous were the applications to him for his interest to obtain situations under it, that he had to employ a person to open and read his letters.—(A laugh.) Sir CHARLES NAPIER, M.P., also promised to join his honourable colleague in opposing the Bill. He was con vinced that the City of London was exempted from its provisions lest offence might be given to the electors, and Lord John Russell should thereby be turned out of the representation.--(Hear, hear.) Several other gentlemen having expressed their dis approval of the Bill, the motion was carried. The meeting adjourned at a late hour. BRITISH 111 USE UM—NE W . HALL This splendid addition to the national establishment, it is stated, will be opened for the first time to the public to-day. The facade is now nearly completed; the inte rior, however, is entirely finished, and embellished in the Etruscan order. The colouring throughout is rich, chaste, and in perfect keeping with the ancient examples of that order handed down to us from antiquity. The hall is spacious, nearly square; on the right hand as the visitors enter is the commodious room in which is placed the Granville Library, which was bequeathed to the country a short time ago. On the left is another spa cious room, containing a portion of the celebrated Townley Collection; this part of the new edifice is in future to be distinguished as the Townley Gallery, and when entirely finished will form the means of' com munication with the whole building. The hall is lofty, with a pannelled roof, in the centre of which is a large gold star on a blue ground, which has a remarkably pleasing appearance. On the right of the entrance door is Roubilliac's well known and exquisite statue of Shakspere ; on the left of the entrance is another statue by Chantrey; both are placed on white marble pedestals. The floor of the hall is laid out in very large squares of Portland stone, with small grey marble diamonds. At the back of the hall is a magnificent flight of steps, with a ballustrade of polished stone, so highly worked up that it resembles porcelain. The ballustrade rests on a wall of red granite; at the lower termination of the ballustrade on either side is a white alabaster Etruscan vase. At the top of the flight is a landing-place the width of the hall, to the right and left of which are corresponding staircases leading to two natural history rooms, which open into the old mineral gallery. The entrance to these is by three doors finely painted after the Etruscan. The tout ensemble, as viewed from below, is imposing. The room in which the Lycian marbles are to be deposited is built, and the specimens are now being placed in their positions. This part of the building, however will not be properly arranged for a year or two, as it is calcu lated it will occupy as long a period in putting the fin, ments of the sculpture together—a delicate process, re quiring the utmost taste, care r and skill. In connexion with ancient art, it is riot generally known that in the museum have been placed some marbles brought over by Sir Charles Fellowes from a temple dedicated to Ilarpagus, general of Cyrus, 546 years before Christ— the earliest of examples of Greek art in our pos sess i on, showing that the same principle of building and workiN the warble was used then as now.

'early two years before the Presidential election takes plac e,yet the campaign has fairly opened. The Charleston (South Carolina) Courier has commenced a defence of Air_ Cal houn, and assails in no measured terms the Washi.nsiton Union and its editor. The South Carolina paper charges Mr. Ritchie with abandoning the true into , rests of the south, and with succumbing to northern inert with northern notions and feelings on the question o slavery. Mr. Calhoun is calling (in a speech recently made) upon southern statesmen to organise and unite on the existing topic of slavery, which he conceives vital to the slave-holding population. On this ground he thinks the Presidential question should be fought. In the speech referred to he denounces a "caucus," or convention, hell for the purpose of nominating. a candidate for the office of President. Whatever may be said of Mr. Culhoun's views on other subjects, his remarks in relation to party couveutions merit calm and serious deliberation. They never fail to exhibit a scene of low intrigue, and some nines t h e most profligate and audacioes corruption. I regret to add, these charges a re not exclusively con fi ne d to ne political party. The Union, Mr. Pelk's mouthpiece, replies to this assault with great bitterness. lie insists upon a con vention to designate the candidate of the party, and is prepared to expel as an unbeliever an - i a heretic the man who does not sustain and bupp, , rt the usages of the particular. It i s very generally u believed that Mr. Calhoun i s d etermined party, der a a w n o d d t a h a is d usafe in to n be a candidate for the Presidency at the next election.

There are, how ever , so man y obstaclesin the way of Mr. Benton's ascending the throne, that I con sider the attempt as visionary, and unworthy notice. The aspirants in his own party are numerous, while the feud between Beaton and Calhoun is violent and uncom promising. The Whig party have made no movement as yet indi cating whom they would prefer as their candidate for the office of President; but there is no doubt a very large majority of the Whigs would prefer Henry Clay. if he could be induced to permit his friends to use his name for that office, which is very doubtful. K Clay seeks retirement, and while he enjoys the society of his family and his friends, he delights in rural pur suits, and the cultivation of a superb farm of which he is the proprietor and the occupant, having settled on it some thirty years or more, when the surrounding country was a wilderness. In a few days (the 12th of April) Mr. Clay will be seventy years old. He possesses a robust consti tution, and is in most excellent health. His friends in this city are making the necessary arrangements for a large and splendid feAival in honour of his birthday. There is no doubt it will be well attended, and probably , by some of our most distinguished statesmen from adja cent states. As he advances in the number of his years, the respect and esteem of his countrymen appear to grow stronger, while the asperity of party is daily be coming more subdued, losing its bitterness, so far as it applies to him. We have recently experienced a tremendous gale of wind along our seaboard. As far as we have heard, the disasters have been numerous, and we have reason to apprehend that the loss of both life and property will prove great. _ The exciting topics in this city are the Irish suffer ings and the Mexican war, but especially the latter. On Friday last the Government ship the Jamestown, Captain Forbes, cleared at the Boston Custom-house for Cork, and sailed on Saturday. She is loaded with sup plies for the relief of the Irish sufferers by famine. About the 20th of the present month we had rumours of a great battle having been fought between Santa Anna and General Taylor, but no details. Rumours, however, were rife that the Mexicans had been repulsed with the loss of 4,000 or 5,000 men, and that General Taylor had sustained a loss of from 1,100 to 1,700 men. On the 23d the National Intelligencer published a call from Colonel Curtis, of Ohio, on the Governor of Loui siana for 10,000 volunteers, to be dispatched to the seat of war with as little delay as possible. This requisition bears date, " Camargo, March 2, 1847." and states that all c"minunication has for several days been cut off between Camargo and the army above" (General Taylor's army). From the 23d of March to the present day we have had nothing hut the most contradictory reports and ru mours, without one line that can be considered official, or that can be relied on. On the 26th of March the Intelligencer received, via New Orleans, advices from Mexico to the 27th of Fe bruary; they annonnce a revolution in the city of Mexico. Gomt7. Farias has been denounced, and Salas chosen in his stead. Santa Anna, according to the ac cc-nuts, retains his power and influence. The Intclli gcncer publishes a letter from New Orleans, from which the following is extracted:— " We have two days later frown Brazos, but nothing later from the army —nothing further, from the enemy being near to Matutnoras, which is considered safe." • • • . . We have t o report, via Tampico, of a battle, and that Santa Anna was repulsed. The report is without any just foundation. Every one is on tiptoe fur further ativices. God send they may be favourable."

In my opinion, their force nas at least double, perhaps three times the number of Gene ral Taylor, who has probably retreated to Monterey,which lie is perfectly able to hold until he receives rein forcements. General Scott, before the date of this letter, has pro bably attacked and captured the city of Vera Cruz and the Castle of St. Juan d'lilloa. This opinion is univer sally entertained by the best-informed men in this place. Between the friends of General Scott and General Tay lor there is some unkind feeling, in consequence of Scott withdrawing from Taylor his most efficient troops. All parties unite in condemning the President and Ida Ca binet for leaving Taylor in a defoneeless state. Times. A GENEVESE TRAVELLER. EXECUTION OF CATHERINE FOS TER FOR POISONING HER HUSBAND THREE WEEKS AFTER MARRIAGE. —HER CONFESSION. BURY ST. EDMUNDS, SATURDAY.—The wretched con vict, Catherine Foster, condemned to death by the Chief Baron Pollock at the late Suffolk Assizes, for the murder of her husband three weeks atter marriage, by poisoning a dumpling with arsenic, expiated her dreadful offence this morning on the scaffold adjacent to the county gaol in this town. Those persons who have perused the evidence adduced at the trial have doubtless been at a loss to conceive the motive that could have induced her to destroy her hus band, whom she had apparently loved from a child, and now that her life has been justly forfeited to the law, and her confession is published to the world, it will be found that it contains nothing that can be construed into a motive, and the reasons, therefore, which tempted her to commit the murder must remain enveloped in mystery. Earnest were the solicitations of those whose duty it was to attend her after her condemnation that she should di% ulge the whole of the facts connected with the crime for whice she was about to suffer; hut although she made a frank avowal of her guilt, she studiously avoided allud ing to any circumstance which might It ad to the motive for which she perpetrated the horrid deed. Thu following is a copy of her comfession:— " Bury Gaol, April 12, 1947. "To the Governor,—First of all I must confess th .1 I am guilty, and very guilty of this awful crime, and well deserve the death that I am condemned to die; and as I am soon to stand before my Heavenly Judge , Iwish to speak poison speakt t the shop of Mr. 11. Ely, truth. I am sorry to say I bought chemist, Sudbury, three days before I mixed it in the dumpling which I gave to my husband. It was served to me by a young man in the shop. Mr. Ely was not present ; had he been present he would have known me, as I had been frequently at his shop on errands for my mistress when I was at service. The act was entirely my own. No person persuaded me to it, and my mother had no knowledge or suspicion of it. I had no cause for complaint against my husband. He was always good and kind to me, but I never had any affection for him, and wished to go back to service. Ido not wish to live, for I never could be happy in this world, and I hope, through the merits and blood of my Saviour, and a sin cere repentance of this and all my sins, to obtain for giveness of God, and to be received into Heaven.
