THE EXCHEQUER-BILL MYSTERY (From the Morning Herald) memorable affair of the fraudulent exchequer-bills forgery, we submitted to the public—prior and sub- equently to the trial at the Central Criminal Court,—some peculations on the probability of their being greater delin pleas behind the yet undrawn veil of legal mystery than Mr. 3eaumont Smith, or his evil gerius—M r. Rapallo, We also iiterecl into certain hypothetical• inquiries, founded on ano her possibility, namely, that of liapallo's escape. The re . suits to which these latter inquiries led us have since been notoriously realised. But what of the aiders and abettors ! What of those " great unknown," (for great they must be, on the principle " ° nine ignotum pro magnco") to whom Beaumont Smith alluded in that toddling declaration, that " he had fallen the victim of plausibility,—talent, and Power ?" Do they exist ? Who are they ? Where are the, ? We wish that we could conscientiously assure the •eader of our own impression of their nonentity, and their r But it is with deep and unaffected reluctance hr we advert to rumours which are rife in those quarters f ty intelligence where " beacon fires are seldom false ". " two noble lords "—whose names have reached us as intact by the disgraceful " on dit " which obtains of this it—are representatives of the great contending parties in political divisions of the country.

While a very justifiable alarm is abroad amongst the true members of the church, lest the doctrines of Popery, under the disguise of Puseyism, should creep in and pave the way for an extensive relapse to the errors of Rome, the report of the preceedings which took place in St. Jude's Chapel, Livec pool, on Wednesday evening last, must be highly gratifying to our readers. The current of the times, we are glad to find, does not carry all away with it ; and while there is on the surface, we acknowledge, a flow towards the evils out of which we were delivered by the Reformation, we have every reason to believe that a deep and powerful direction has been given to the public mind, which, ere long, will bear away with irresistible success towards Protestant Christianity. The word Protestant has latterly become unpalatable with some professors of theology ; and we have no hesitancy in stating our belief, that wherever any disgust towards the title is avowed, there these must be concealed the most decided aversion to the thing itself ; in fine, to the doctrines and forms of Christianity, purged of all superstitious novelties, and accredited by law, as the religion of the state. The Rev. Mr. INI'NEILE's address on the occasion alluded to, contained a lucid exhibition of the fact that the religion now professed by our church is according to the symbols of Catholicity, and the history of those symbols—is precisely the religion which prevailed from the crucifixion to the period of the council of Nice, and from thence down to the period of the council of Trent and the publication of the creed of Pope Pius. According to this incontestable statement, it is obvious that we—who retain till now the ancient and ac credited symbols of the Catholic faith, never interfered with or formally opposed till the decrees of Trent and the creed of Pius were divulged—we continue in the uninterrupted course of apostolical succession, while the Romanists have been led aside and become schismatical, if not on the point of ministry, yet on the more important one, the essential one of truth. That not more than five persons abjured on the last occa sion the errors of Rome and returned to the bosom of the true church strikes us with no astonishment. We under stand something of the troubles to which the abjuration of popular error exposes every one who dares the attempt. Our only wonder is, that any can be induced to hazard, as they must do by conversion, the peace and prosperity, and often, too, the life, of this world. But we know there is a spirit greater than that of mere temporal wisdom, and to it alone we can attribute this last renunciation of evil, as well as the conversion of the individuals which we were lately permitted to announce. In attendance on these public recantations there is ever a private and unavowed, but frequently sincere, abandonment of Popery made by the relatives and acquaintances of the parties who have the hardihood to declare themselves openly members of our coma union. We have received intimation to this effect connected with the last conversions which took place in this country, and we should conceive that the same thing is going forward in England. The report of the Liver pool affair gives us to understand that three other persons did not appear who were expected, with the five who came forward, to break their connexion with the Church of Rome. This we can attribute to the fear of the worst species of per ecution. Nevertheless, we cannot abandon the hope that they have secretly joined our living branch of the true vine, nor give up the idea that the present demonstration will carry with it additional numbers from the regions of apostacy to saving truth. SHOCKING MURDER AT STOKETON-UPON TRENT. (From the Staffordshire Gazette. )n Monday evening and Tuesday last, the town of Stoke 5 thrown into a state of great excitement, by a report, that named Thomas Morris, a brewer,' had lard violent ipon his wife, and thereby caused her death, whilst he a state of intoxication. The report proved but too On Tuesday afternoon, an inquest was held on the `-' deceased, Elizabeth Morris, at the Old Swan hefore W. Harding, Esq., coroner, and a re- Inn, Sto pectable jury Nitness called was a niece of the prisoner's and leceased's, named Fanny Hilditch, a little girl ten years of age, wno stared that Morris and the deceased lived at their [louse. [Witness afterwards explained that her mother was fever-nurse at the Infirmary, and consequently generally ab sent from home, and allowed Morris and his wife (who was her sister) to live in her house, and take care of her children.] Witness remembered Morris coming home on Monday night, believed it was about nine o'clock ; her aunt (the deceased) was nursing a baby about ten months old, and sat by the fire, making a cap and putting flowers in it. There were no other persons in the house except Morris, the deceased, witness, and the baby. Morris said he would not have the cap which deceased was making in his house, and he then pushed her towards the fire. Deceased then threw the cap up the house to prevent Morris laying hold of it; he endeavoured to get the cap from her, and she resisted ; he said he would throw it on the fire, and she replied that he ' durst not' ; and he replied that he durst' ; and some further altercation of a similar nature took place. He then struck his wife a violent blow on her brow, upon which she fell with her head upon his knee; he pushed her off to the floor,,which was of brick. After she was down, he kicked her twice on the side, and some time after tried to lift her head from the floor, but it fell down again, —and he then said that " he could not help it." Deceased could not get up, the baby then began to cry, and witness took it from the cradle and went to call a neigh hour, named Mary Swettnam, and told her that deceased was dying; upon which she left and went to Morris's di rectly. When witness left the house, Morris was standing in the same room that his wife was lying; she staid at Mrs. Swettnams until near one o'clock ; when she went home again, she saw deceased lying upon the sofa, and thought she was dead: Morris was quite drunk. Mary Swettnam was then sworn, and said, in conse quence of information received from the previous witness. she went to Morris's house with her : the baby was asleep in the cradle, deceased lay across the house floor on her back, and Morris was kneeling down by the side of her. He exclaimed, when witness entered the house, " Aye dear, aye dear, Mrs. Swettnam." He had his left arm under her head. Witness asked what was the matter, and he replied, be thought she was dead, as he perceived no b rea th. Wit ness laid hold of deceased's hand and rubbed it, but she was quite dead. Morris said something must be done,—witness then went and called Sally Harrison and Betty Minshull, telling them that Betty Morris was either dead or dying. They came in soon, and then witness went to her own house, and sent a man who lodged with her to call Mr. Davies. When she went back to Morris's deceased was quite dead, and she was laid on the sofa. Morris did not say anything about how it bad happened to witness : he was drunk. The jury returned their verdict—" That the deceased came to her death by violence used towards her by her husband, Thomas Morris," who was then brought up and committed to take his trial for the offence at the next assizes. REFORMATION IN LIVERPOOL (From the Dublin Statesman.) THE NAVY, (From a Carrespondent of the Times.) PORTSMOUTH, FRIDAY.—The following statement will tend to remove the misconception .which appears to exist both at home and abroad as to the extent and object of the armament fitting out at this and other ports, and will show that, even including the vessels destined for China, there has been no increase whatever of the navy ; but, excluding the equipment for China, which is for a special and isolated ob ject, having no reference whatever to European questions, there has been a very considerable reduction, especially in the Mediterrrnean. During the last four or five months the undermentioned vessels, including the Powerful, 84, which is now on its pas sage home to be paid off, have been paid out of commission : Britannia, 120 ; Bellerophon, 84; Belleisle, 72 ; Samarang, 28 ; Crocodile, 26 ; Tyne, 28; Scorpion, 10; Princess Char lotte, 104 ; Edinburgh, 72 ; Seringapatam, 42; Dido, 29 ; Hazard, 18 ; Ringdove, 16 ; Melville, 72 ; Powerful, 84 ; Castor, 36 ; Carysfort, 26 ; Orestes, 18 ; Forrester, 16 ; and Spider, 6 ; being altogether seven line-of-battle ships, seven frigates, and six sloops, carrying 892 guns. The vessels which have been commissioned during the same period are _ _ Queen, 110; Illustrious, 72; Madagascar, 38; Spartan, 26 ; Thalia, 44 ; Dido, 20 ; Pantaloon, 10 ; Harlequin, 56 ; Malabar, 72 ; Warspite, 50 ; Alfred, 50 ; Isis, 44 ; Volage, 26; Syren, 16; Serpent, 16; Belvidera ' 36; Formidable : 84; Vindictive, 50; Cambrian, 36; North Star , 28; L'Aigle, 24 ; Hazard, 18 ; Heroine, 10 ; being four ships-of-the-line, 12 frigates and 7 sloops, altogether 896 guns. Of the vessels paid off the following are from the Medi terranean :—Britannia, 120; Edinburgh, 72 ; Carysfort, 26 ; Hazard, 18; Princess Charlotte, 104; Powerful, 84; Tyne, 28 ; Scorpion, 10; Bellerophon, 84 ; Castor, 36 ; Dido, 20. Total, five sail of the line, four frigates, and two sloops, mounting altogether 594 guns. In addition to the foregoing, three more line-of-battle ships have been ordered home : ths Ganges. 84 ; Hastings, 74 ; and Implacable, 74. Of the ships which have been commissioned the following only are ordered to the Mediterranean, being two line-of battle ships and two frigates —The Queen 110, with the flag of Sir E. Owen ; Malabar, 72 ; Belvidera, 36 ; and L'Aigle, 26. The squadron for China are the Cambrian, 36 ; North Star, 28; Dido, 20; Hazard, 18; Warspite, 50; Syren. 16; Harlequin, 16 ; Andromache, 28, which the Madagascar, 44, has gone to relieve at the Cape of Good Hope ; together with the Belleisle, Apollo, and Sapphire troop ships, and the Minden, hospital ship. Of the other ships commissioned, the Illustrious, 72, has gone to the North American and West Indian station. The Spartan, 26, is for the same destination ; Alfred, 50, is for South America ; Pantaloon, 10, coast of Africa ; Heroine, 10, for the same ; Serpent , 16, West Indies. . • The destination of the Formidable, 84 ; Thalia, 44 ; Isis, 44 ; Vindictive, 50 ; and Volage, 26, is at present not known. It is supposed that some of them are for China. DOCTOR MACHALE AND LORD CLIFFORD A letter from Doctor MACHALE to Lord CLIFFORD in reply to his Lordship's recent brochure, exhibits a full-length picture of the Popish bigot, and the jesuitical equivocator. The Christian charity of the titular Archbishop of TUAM will not admit a Protestant of any description to be a Christian at all, and he rebukes his lay communicant, Lord CLIFFORD, not merely for admitting the British Protestant to be a Christian, but for applying the term Christian to himself, instead of Catholic. The former we know is the language of the Apostles—the latter the language of the Popes. But let us hear the Acatholic doctor :— " You must be aware (quoth this usurper to the lay peer of his communion) of the offensive oath that is still taken by sume of your lordship's companions on the same benches, associating with our holy religion the guilt of idolatry. Yet, with these facts staring you in the face, you must adopt a new and accommodating phraseology, and, instead of styling him self a Catholic, your letters are to be considered as ' addressed by a British Christian in communion with the See of Rome, to a British Christian not in communion with the See of Rome! " I, too, am for burying in oblivion the angry remembrance of ancient bigotry, not, however, at the expense of altering the ancient and apostolic language of the church. Catholic is a term hallowed in that creed which we lisp from our infoncy; it was considered by St. Augustine as one of the most efful gent of the characters of the church. Your lordship will not forget that in Italy, of which you are so fond, Christian and Catholic are so identified that to him who is not the latter, the phrase applied to the people generallv is ''NON E CHRIS TIAN° ;' and lest your lordship should not deem popular phrases correct theological standards, allow me to remind you of the language of St. Cyprian, that he who is not in the church cfChrist is not a Christian.' " This is plain speaking. The Church of Rome, in the Doc tor's vocabulary, is " the CHURCH OF CHRIST" spoken of by ST. CYPRIAN—ergo, WHOSOEVER IS NOT OF THE CHURCH OF ROME, IS NOT A CHRISTIAN What will your Liberal Homan Catholics say of this doc trine of the church in the 19th century ? Is not her spirit very much mitigated ? Yes; as much as the Ethiop's hue, or the leopard's spots, or the tiger's ferocity, or the serpent's venom. CONTINENTAL FARE FOR CONTINENTAL WAGES.— " At the beginning of winter, the peasant fares well : eats wholesome rye-bread," [in common with the horses] " and plenty of it. Towards spring, his stores, never well hus banded," [how can they be, when the horse is considered the superior animal of the two, and his demand is so much more extensive ?] " begin to fail, and the coarse rye-flour is eked out with a little chopped straw ;" [coarser sort of food] but when the season is prolonged, this position is reversed, and it is the straw which becomes the chief ingredient of the loaf which is to fill and not nourish his body " [herring soup]— " so much so that on exposure to fire this wretched bread " " will ignite an d bl aze lik e a torch. " —Letter: jc b .o ig ni l i onapßallic , by a Lady. THE SLAVE TRADE.Iiat is with unmingled feelings of pride and satisfaction t t we announce to the public the conclusion and signature of a treaty by the five great powers of Europe—Great Britain, France, Prussia, Austria, arid Russia—for the more effectual suppression of that greatest of modern crimes—the slave trade. This important and holy convention was signed yesterday, at the Foreign-office, by the representatives of the Monarchs who are parties thereto. It declares the slave trade to be piracy, and concedes, con firms, and extends the powers known as the mutual right of search. The stipulations entered into at the Congress of Vienna are thus, after six-and-twenty years of succeeding hopes and disappointments, of impotent negotiations and ill: implemented conventions, fulfilled ; and the slave trade is now, so far as Europe is concerned, a crime of the deepest die by the law of nations.—Herald of Tuesday. THE MINING SPECULATIONS.—RE CAVE.—The ad journed examination in this irrn ortant case took place on Tuesday week. Sir Charles Williams, in discharging the bankrupt, admonished him in severe terms for the unfair and deceptive means he had pursued in obtaining shareholders. It appeared that the total loss upon the bankrupt's mining transactions amounted to no less than £194,017, of which £120,000 was sustained by fifteen clergymen. It appeared, also, that while he was thus carrying on his speculations he purchased from 20 to £24,000 worth of pictures'; arid that, in 1828, when be had only £1 4s. at his credit with the Bank of England, and about £4 in another bank, he gave away about £7OOO in presents to his friends, and offered to di , pose of his mines for £20,000 or £30,000 at the moment that he was about fingering an equal sum for certain shares in them. The commissioner said that as there appeared no fraud or deception in making out the accounts, he must pass the bankrupt, but it would be for the creditors to judge for them selves, if they would coincide in that or adopt any other steps. He hoped the exposure of this case would deter the public from rashly engaging in similar schemes in future. FEROCIOUS BRUTALITY.—TO the catalogue of daring crimes described in the public prints during the last few months, we have to add the perpetration of an outrage com mitted a short time since near Cheddar. whi6ll, for the atro city of the act, and the savage barbarity with which it was accompanied, surpasses, in extent of wanton cruelty, any thing which it has for a long time been our office to record. A poor woman returning from market, after nightfall, to her home, was suddenly accosted by three footpads, who fiercely demanded her money. The poor creature instantly delivered up the whole of her little treasure, the produce of her market transactions ; but whether the ruffians were disappointed by the smallness of the amount, and were resolved on rifling all her under-garments, or whether they were solely influenced by the promptings of diabolical ferocity, they literally strip ped her of every particle of clothing, and left her, in that state of dreadful destitution, to the chance of casual charity, or to perish by the way side, under the complicated agonies of terror, cold, and tortured modesty. This surely is a case calling for the vengeance of justice in all its severity.—Bath Herald. BURNING OF A LETTER FROM THE QUEEN'S SECRE TARY OF STATE.-Our readers will recollect that a few weeks ago we stated that the Beverly town-council had sent up a memorial to the home secretary, to remonstrate with him upon the nomination of several gentlemen of conserva tive principles to be justices of the borough without the leave and approbation of their own sapient and intelligent body. The result was at once anticipated by all sensible persons, and the application caused some amusement at the expense of the collective wisdom. Sir J. Graham's courteous reply caine in due course ; informing the mayor that the council had nothing whatever to do with the recommendation ofjus tices. A meeting of the town-council was forthwith con vened, and the mayor (de facto though not de jure) was in the chair. Mr. Alderman Simpson moved that the memo rial sent to the home secretary, together with his answer, be read—which was done ; and then it was moved by him, and seconded by Mr. Fussey, that the reply be entered on the minutes. Mr. Daniel Boyes moved, as an amendment, that it be committed to the flames as an insult to the council; and this was seconded'by Mr. Edward Page, and carried by ten to three ; and the beadle was called in, and the letter handed to him by his worship, who forthwith put into the fire, to the great amusement of the audience.—Hull Times. It is now definitely arranged that the long expected nuptials of his Highness Prince Nicholas Esterhazy, eldest son of his Excellency Prince Esterhazy, ambassador at the British Court from the Emperor of Austria and the Lady Sarah Villiers, the lovely and accomplished daughter of the Earl and Countes of Jersey, are to be solemnized on Saturday week, the Ist of January. The marriage is to be as private as possible, in consequence of the recent demise of the ven erable Earl of Westmorland, the maternal grandfather of the fair betrothed. His Excellency Prince Esterhazy is, not withstanding reports to the contrary, likely to be present at the ceremony, for his highness was to leave Vienna at the close of the last week for this country, and it is expected will arrive at Chandos House, the Austrian embassy, by Monday or Tuesday next. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester has presented a very valuable abtrilet to the fair fiancee, set with brilliants of the finest water, with the princely ciphers in the centre of the same precious stones. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge has also presented her ladyship with a costly souvenir,itis a splendid diamond aigrette. It was originally intended by the Countess of Jersey to have given a sumptuous ddeuner to. a highly distinguished and very numerous circle of friends on the interesting occasion of the marriage of her beautiful daughter, and of course on a ~tale and splendour suited to the elevated rank of the prince, but from the circumstance before mentioned the wedding party is to be very select. DREADFUL EXPLOSION AND ALARMING FIRES IN DUN DEF.—About half-past nine on Thursday night, an alarm spread that the mill at the West Wards, Scouringburn, Dundee, belonging to Messrs. Wyllie and Johnson, was on fire. In a short time the engines were on the spot, and the efforts of the firemen were directed to the seat of the fire ; but, finding that the flames burst forth with repulsive and redoubled fury, they abandoned the spot, and immediately commenced operations a few paces farther eastward. From the combustible nature of the contents of the heckling house, the fire rapidly spread, gutting the building. In an incredi bly short time after the fire at Wyllie and Johnson's mill was discovered, an accident of a much more serious nature occurred at the Gas Works—one of the tanks (gas-holders) having exploded. The building i❑ which the tank was placed was instantaneously levelled with the ground, the walls of it being thrown flat almost in a solid mass. Fortunately, the only part of the works in which there were any of the work men, or any human being, was the retort house, closely ad joining the east end of the tank ; and the consequence is, that we have not to record the death of more than two boys who were sitting in the retort house. Seven workmen em ployed there escaped with one exception, without injury, and that slight. The effect of the shock upon the adjoining buildings was dreadful. A number of the houses in Gas Work Lane, and some in Blackscroft, have been unroofed. The windows of Prince's-street Chapel and in houses as far up as the Wallacetown Church have been smashed. In almost all the houses along Blackseroft, they have met with the same fate. In many instances, the window shutters which were closed have been forced from their hinges, and even cellar doors which were locked have been burst open. The shock of the explosion was felt all over the town, and in a great many places the gas was immediately extinguished by it ; and, in the course of a very short time, the town, with the exception of those parts of it supplied from the tank at the west end, in the immediate vicinity of the fire at Wyllie and Johnson's premises, was in darkness. The confusion over the whole town was great ; some rushing to the fire at the west and others to the fire at the east end, and none knowing where the greatest injury might be done.—Th int i fe Advertiser, ROMANCE FROM AMERICA.--A young female, possessed of great beauty, and most elegantly attired, whose name ap peared on the charge-sheet as Ellen Rosalind Holmes, was brought before Mr. Duffy, at the Henry-street police-office, by police-constable 127 C, who stated, that at a rather late hour the previous night he was on duty in Sackville-street, and hearing a noise in Elephant-lane he went to ascertain the cause ; he saw four or five girls along with, or rather encir cling the prisoner ; they were abusing each other, and caus ing a great disturbance • when they saw him coming they all, with the exception of the prisoner, ran away ; but the pri soner refused to go, telling him she was a lady, though he was hardly inclined to believe the statement in consequence of her conduct ; so the short and long of the matter was, that he took her to the station-house, and charged her with being disorderly in the street. The prisoner, in reply to Mr. Duffy, stated that she was a native of New York, where her friends, who she said were highly connected, reside, and that about two years ago a titled English gentleman (she refused to tell his name) was introduced into her family. He paid her great attention for some time, and wanted her to marry him privately • but this she at fir s t refused to do, telling him her father could give her a princely dowry, and that she was willing to become his wife with the consent of her parents. He refused this, and continued to press his addresses with such zeal, that she in a moment of weakness was induced to elope with him ; and in order to prevent a discovery, she put on male attire, and pas-ed as his lordship's page. lie brought her to Europe, and visited the " Eternal City" (Rome), where they passed some months, and thence they travelled Germany, Spain, and all the continental countries ; at last they came to the great English " Babylon" (London) where she doffed her page's apparel, and was introduced into the first circles of society, where she passed as the bride of her destroyer ; they came to Dublin a short time since, when shortly afterwards he departed, she knew not whither, leav ing her in a very distressed state, so far as her mind was concerned, but with a tolerably large purse to support her. The occasion of her being out so late was, that she heard his lordship was stopping at Kingstown, whither she went to search of him, but without succeess, and on her return, she was attacked by a number of girls, from whom she was com pelled to defend herself in the best manner she could ; she was willing to pay any penalty that might be imposed on her for the improper manner in which it was stated she had con duced herself. Mr. Duffy said her story, if true, was very strange, and ordered her to enter into her own security to keep the peace, which being done, the fair but unfortunate daughter of the "land of liberty was at once discharged. —Dublin paper. MANUFACTURE OE GAS.—From the Mechanics' Maga zine we extract the following specification of the patent re cently taken out by Mr. Grafton for an improved method of manufacturing gas :—" Enrolment-office, Nov. 4, 1841.—A. double retort is built of fire bricks, in the form of an oven, divided in a transverse partition in the middle ; beneath each retort there is a furnace fitted with doors, &c., in the usual manner. The whole of the reto r t i s covere d by an arch, which the patentee calls "a heat retaining arch," furnished with apertures communicating with the flue. From the re torts the gass passes to what is called " a decomposer," also provided with a heat-retaining arch, and divided into four chambers by longitudinal brick partitions ; in the first of these chambers there is a number of transverse metal divi sions, which descended to within one-third of the bottom ; the other chambers are filled with ignited coke or charcoal. On entering the decomposer, the gas passes through the whole of the chambers by means of openings at either end of the partitions, alternately ; and being freed from impuri ties in its passage, is drawn through the exit pipe attached to the last chamber by an exhausting apparatus. In this pipe there is a shield of tine wire gauze, to prevent accidents from the ignition of the gas as it leaves the decomposer. The claim is-1. To the manufacturing of gas in double retorts, arranged in the manner described.-2. To increasing the heat of such retorts by the application of a heat-retaining arch.-3. To passing the gas through a decomposer, either detached, from, or combined with, the retort.-4. To the application of an exhausting apparatus to the decomposer, to facilitate or compel the passage of the gas through it ; toge ther with the wire gauze guard, interposed in the pipe be tween the exhausting appaaratus and the decomposer." HORRIBLE MURDER AT CHIRK.—We lament tO say, that one of those horrible murders, with which the princi pality is seldom disgraced, was committed at Chirk, on Thursday evening last. The unfortunate victim is an aged female, named Ellen Evans, who keeps a small shop for the sale of grocery, and such other commodities as are to be had from huxters, in country villages. She was also in the habit of lending money to poor people in the neighbourhood, on such trifling pledges as they might be disposed to 'eare with her ; and this circumstance led to the inference that she was possessed of a considerable sum of ready money, and appears to have excited the cupidity which prompted the commission of the murder. The last time Mrs. Evans was seen alive was on Thursday afternoon, at five o'clock, when she served a person with some articles of grocery, and was then in good health and spirits. In the course of air hour (about six o'clock), another customer called at her shop, and and wag horror-struck on finding the deceased lying on her back on the floor, with her head nearly severed from her body. It would seem, from the appearance of the body, that she had resisted the attempts of her murderers to rob the house in the first instance; and that one of the ruffians had then thrown her down, set his foot on her mouth, and cut her throat from ear to ear with a knife. The house had been ransacked, but little booty had fallen into the possession of the murderers, as a considerable sum of money (which was the bulk of her property), had escaped their observation, by being secreted in a bed. These are the principal facts connected with the murder. We have received other infor mation, which it would not be prudent at the present moment to submit to the public, lest the ends of justice should pos sibly be defeated. Suffice it to say, that strong hopes are entertained that the murderers will be discovered, and brought to justice.—Chester Courant. On Friday morning a cruelly distressing loss of life occur red on the other side of the river, near Hew Holland. The schooner Stourbridge was coming up, having a boat in tow, when the painter giving way by which it was attached to the vessel, the captain, Jeremiah Smith', anxious to prevent its being lost, threw himself over the stern of the vessel into the boat, but unfortunately alighting with his back on the gun wale, he was stunned and fell into the water; the boat drift ing away at the same time, his own crew were deprived of the power to assist him, and after hanging by the broken painter attached to the drifting boat, until seemingly ex hausted, he sank to rise no more. It is lamentable to add that Mrs. Smith was on board the vessel, and consequently a spectator of her husband's melancholy death ; • and it is horrible to state further that her distressing bereavement might have been averted, had the common calls of humanity been responded to as they should have been by the parties who had it in their power to save the drowning man. A light sloop from Goole was going down the river, with the wind in her favour, at the moment of the catastrophe, and although passing within twenty or thirty yards, those on board were deaf to the hail of the schooner, and the cries of the crew to save their captain. THE BOY JONES.—This lad, whose repeated intrusions into the palace have created so much interest, has again returned to London, and reached the abode of his parents on Sunday night. It appears that he has been on a voyage to Bahia. in the ship Tiber, Capt. Ramsay, of which Messrs. R. and G. Benn, respectable merchants of Liverpool, are the owners. He arrived in Liverpool in the ship on the 30th ult. When he left he proceeded on foot to London, with only 2s. 6d. in his pocket to subsist upon during a journey of 210 miles. The money he had was soon exhausted, and he subsisted during the last few days of his journey by pick ing a few turnips from the fields, and sleeping in barns and outhouses during the night. He reached home quite ex hausted. It is due to the lad to state that he never alludes to his visits to the Palace, and is reluctant to converse with any one upon the subject. THE WINTER IN RVSSIA.—The winter has set in this year at St. Petersburgh, in a singularly capricious manner. Du ring the night between the 15th and 16th ult., the frost was . severe, the thermometer f a lli ng t o s i x t een d egre e s h e lot, zero, of Reaumur's scale. The following day it thawed, but during the night there was a slight frost again, and the ice on the Neva remained standing, while the thermometer marked only one degree below the freezing point. On the 23d it thawed again, and continued to do so till the 27th, when a good deal of rain fell. Nevertheless, the ice, though thin, remained fast. All this time it had been impossible to reconstruct the bridges of pontoons, so that the different sides of the city were cut off from all communication with each other. It was remarkable that during the greater part of this time the tem perature was higher at night than during the day. On the 29th the thermometer fell again to the freezing point, and seemed likely to go down lower. The weather was beautiful, and the roadstead at Cronstadt quite open. Another vessel had even arrived there a few days previous. —United Stales Gazelle. YOUNG OXFORD IN BEDLAM HOSPITAL.—From the re port of the officers of this institution, it would seem that Oxford evinces at present no symptom indicative of mental aberation. The wildness of his deportment immediately antecedent to his trial was the result of strong nervious ex citement to which he had been subjected at intervals from childhood, rather than from actual want of reason. No doubt, when he thought proper to put that " antic disposition on," he was actuated by a motive more pcitential with a weak mind even than fear of punishmcnt—having courted notoriety, he was resolved to play the hero throughout. All this stimulated madness has passed away. Solitude and systematic discipline have lowered down the fervour of ill regulated passions, and any one who met Oxford without the walls of Bedlam, would consider him not only a rational, but a well-informed person for his age and station. He is partial to reading, and the lover of a book is sufficient to secure his esteem. All books, however, sent to the patients must first receive the sanction of the authorities of the institution before they are permitted to he read. Those recommended by the medical officers are works on natural history, voyages and travels,and elementary principles of science. All books which treat of politics or religious controversy are strictly prohibited. OXford's con duct has given very great satisfaction to all the authorities of the institution. His health is generally good, though he is often subject to fits of despondency. When in those moods he is not sulky, but rather pe ns i v e. He is extrem e l y anxious to learn some handicraft in order to occupy his time, and as a suit of workshops are now in course of erection, that opportunity will be shortly afforded.

The weather still continues very severe, and there has been a light fall of snow, with every appearance of more, and field labour is entirely stopped. Farmers' Wheat sells at last week's prices, and a better supply coming forward. Foreign Wheat in little de. mand, but holders are firm at former rates. Flour unchanged in value, and in steady demand. Barley dull, and barely maintaining previous prices. Malt 28s to 3os per barrel, and in moderate re quest. Oats were a ready sale at this morning's market, and prices Id to 2d per cwt. higher, but cargoes of canal Oats are a very dull sale ; two cargoes have been sold at £l6 los for Potato, and .4'6 Os to 46 75 6d per ton for Poland, cash payments. Oatmeal at our farmer's market is the turn lower with a fair demand. Some Meal has been sold, for delivery in May next, at ..f 13 to £l3 f , s per ton. Grain Market.—We had a moderately large supply of Wheat and Oats at to•day's market, but there was little or no Barley offering, and we fear the stock in the hands of the farmers is nearly already exhausted. HULL CORN MARKET, DEC. 21. We have had sharp frosty weather the past few days, which will put Wheat in better condition ; on the limited business passing during the week in old foreign Wheat full prices have been paid. No alteration in value or demand for any description of spring Corn. Linseed in steady demand at late prices. Rapeseed dull, the few sales that are making are for export to Holland, Linseed cake in fair demand and full prices paid. Rape cake dull and little doing in it. Bones unaltered. The present sharp weather has a good deal improved the condition of the farmers' Wheat, and there is a fair quantity offering to-day, for which more money is generally de manded. The trade is, however, confined. to the retail demand of our neighbouring millerA who select the best parcels of Wheat at an advance of Is per quarter. Old foreign is little demanded, and prices unaltered. A good many Oats offering, but the great bulk are soft and not very saleable. Beans and Peas dull. Barley is in very limited demand ; the best malting qualit►es scarcely bring last week's prices. All middling runs are very difficult to quit, although low prices would be submitted to. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, DEc. 21. We had very few arrivals of Grain up to Friday last, ow ing to stormy and unsettled weather, which having abated and changed to frost, several vessels, previously near at hand, have worked into port ; and we have to note for this day's market a moderate supply of Wheat, chiefly Canadian, with some parcels of Beans, Pease, and a little Barley from abroad.—Of Oats the quantity fresh in is light, but of Irish Oatmeal rather liberal ; and of Flour, mostly from Canada, upwards of 10,000 barrels, with 409 from the States, and 2,ooo'bags from Calcutta. Althougli we had a tolerably fair attendance of buyers this morning, and holders of Wheat at the opening of the market appeared firm, the former on the whole were rather inactive ; and the transactions throughout being very moderate in amount, the slight mention noticed on Friday was more ge nerally confirmed, and the trade concluded heavily at that abatement. Flour, especially States and Canadian, was a little more saleable at our last quotations. Barley, 'Malt, Beans, and Pease continued to meet a very limited demand, with a slight tendency in each to decline in value. Notwithstanding Oats came rather sparingly forward, very few sales of this grain were effected to-day, and late prices were scarcely maintained. Oatmeal, likewise, remained in slow request ; and some parcels were offered 3d. per 240 lbs. below the currency of this day se'nnight, without any material progress in its dis posal being practicable.

REMARKABLE POWER OF CONSCIENCE.—A pre-paid let ter, containing a half-crown, was received on Thursday morn ing last by a respectable tradesman in Knaresbro,' in which the writer acknowledges having, thirteen years since, changed a bad half-crown in his shop, in the place of which a good one was then remitted to him. EXTRAORDINARY ACCIDENT IN PARIS.—TwO nights ago an omnibus, driving along the Rue Mauconseil, ran against a cart laden with feather, which a man was delivering into a warehouse with a two-pronged fork. The shock threw the poor fellow out, and by his fall both prongs were driven into his throat. One of them divided the carotid artery, and caused his instant death. The driver of the omnibus was arrested.—Galiqnani. The Countess De . Grey has expressed her determination not only to wear dresses of Irish manufacture, but to recom- all those who attend her ladyship's court, or are invited to her parties. Lady Jemima Eliot has adopted a similar re solution, and scarcely ever appears except in a dress of Irish tabinet. The King of Prussia, we understand, is about to send to this country three clergymen, one for each of the schools of theology into which Prussia is divided, for the purpose of studying our method of managing the religious affairs of our parishes. The King's strong leaning towards the Episcopal form of church government is not now a secret, in any well informed circle ; neither can it be doubted, that in the move ment of which we have just spoken, higher objects are aimed at than the mere arrangement of an improved order of paro chial discipline.—Cambridge Chronicle. • FATAL OCCURRENCE.—On Friday night, as Mr. Belt, farmer, of Bewholme, was returning from Hornsea, ac companied by two neighbours, be proposed, as the air was very cold, that they should ride a little faster, and trotted his horse forward ; his companions, continuing their former pace, had proceeded for some distance, when one of their horses shied at something lying on the road, and which, on alighting, it being dark, they discovered to be Mr. Belt, quite dead. How the fatal accident occurred is of course unknown, neither have we been able to obtain any further particulars of the melancholy event.—Hull Times. Most of the light lands laid down for wheat have been sown, but a considerable breadth of heavy soils is left for the spring. In places the young plant had sprung up to a re markable height (as much as two feet) owing to the late ex traordinary mildness of the weather, and it was necessary to feed it off with cattle and sheep : this will have a good effect in Making the blade stronger and more vigorous. The seve rity of the frost during the last two or three days will, it is thought, be somewhat injurious in suddenly checking the rapid progress of vegetation.—Hereford Journal. SUPPOSED MURDER NEAR SEVERN STOKE.—Early on Sunday morning last, a man named Richard Kinton was found lying dead on the turnpike road, about five or six miles from this city, on the way to Tewkesbury. On his shoulder were marks as though a - waggon had passed over him ; but from other appearances on his body suspicions were raised that something else had a share in his death, and other circumstances conspiring t, render suspicion still stronger, an inquiry was set on foot by Superintendents Manton and Craig, of the county police, which resulted in the apprehension of a labourinc , man named Tippin, who re sides, with his wife and three children, in a garret at Severn Stoke.—Worcester Journal. THE PRINCE OF WALES'S NURSE•—The statement as to the remuneration allotted to Mrs. Brough is not correct. A liberal annual provision will be granted to this lady, an en signcy in the army to her eldest son, and the rest of the chil dren will be provided for. Although it is true that she has hitherto been moving in a humble sphere of life, yet she is in every respect treated by the royal establishment as a lady, and will enjoy all the privileges attached to the honourable situation which she is called upon to fulfil.—London Paper. Her majesty has been pleased to appoint the right honble. Alexander Lord Ashburton ; the Right Hon. John Nicholl, judge advocate general ; George Carr Glyn, and John Shaw Lefevre, Esq.s, to be commissioners to conduct a strict in vestigation, with a view to ascertain in what manner exche quer-bills have been made out and issued since the remodell ing of the exchequer by the act of parliament, passed in the fourth and fifth years of the reign of his late majesty King William IV., and to point out whether any and what de fects are to be found in the existing system, and what addi tional checks and regulations can be established, with a view to guard in future against the forgery of exchequer bills, or against the fraudulent or unauthorised issue of them. " It's a wonder you're not drunk," said a rag to Miaow, the famous equestrian. " 'What do you mean ?" returned he indignantly. " Why," chuckled the former, tumbler full of spirits. I fancy !" FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE LONDON AND BIRMING HAM RAILWAY.—On Saturday afternoon an accident of a frightful nature, and which terminated fatally, took place on the line of the London and Birmingham Railway, at a place called Chigington, a few miles below Aylesbury. The up third class, or goods train, had arrived within a short distance of the station, and the train had not yet stopped, when a man named William Gilley, foreman of the plate layers of that division of the line, and who had come up as a passenger, imprudently jumped out of the train. The unfor tunate fellow not being aware that anything else was approach ing, instead of jumping off on the same side as the station, did so on that next the road, at which moment the York passenger train was coming up at the rate of at least 30 miles an hour. Before poor Gilley could reach the ground he was caught in the back by the buffer of the engine by which the York train was being drawn, and with such fearful violence was the shock, that his body was seen by the guards of the goods train apparently to fly to the extent of between 30 and 40 yards. It had not reached the ground the second time before his body was again caught and hurled forward by the front of the engine, the driver of which endeavoured to stop the speed, but was wholly unable to do so before the entire train, consisting of nearly 30 carriages, had passed over him. The guards of the goods train instantly ran to the spot, at least 60 yards from the place where the poor fellow had jumped out, and notwithstanding the dreadfully shattered appearance of his body in every part, life was not then quite extinct, and he breathed for a few seconds after. The body of the unfortunate man, who was 28 years of age, and single, was conveyed by the goods train on to Aylesbury. NOTES FOR SMALL GARDENS.—Continue to make any alterations that are required while the weather continues open. Occasionally sweep aad roll lawns, and clean walks. Plants in frames require constant attention to see that they are not suffering from damp ; pick off all dead leaves and give them all the air possible. Keep plants in greenhouses as dry as possible, and give them air at every fitting opportunity. Train and tie up hard-wooded plants, such as Camelias, and Epacrises ; keep the pots free from moss ; when it appears, scrape it off and put a little fresh earth on the surface in its stead ; this will not only add to the neatness of the plants, but be beneficial to.them as well. Pelargoniums that are re quired to bloom early may have more water allowed them, and if the pots are filled with roots should have a shift. Con tinue to bring forward a few bulbs and other plants for early flowering. Look to Hyacinths in water-glasses, and occa sionally give them fresh water. Light a slight fire to dry the house if required. you're a 4.9bipping Enteitigeurt.

Good black seedlings also command the latter figure: We have also to note an extensive trade in all descriptions of our local farm produce, at the undermentioned quotations:—Pink-eye Potatoes 2s to 2s id ; Cups Os ed to 2s 4d : Short Tops Is yd to 2s 3d; Cattle Is 3cl to Is tid per 90Ibs. Turnips 25s to As ; Man glewurzle 20s ; Carrots 40s to 45s per toll. Old Hay Bcl to 1 lid ; new 6d io Is; Clover 7d to lid per 201bs. Wheat Straw 4d to sd; Oat aid to Id per 24Ibs. LONDON CORN. EXCHANGE, DEC. 20. The supply of Wheat by land carriage samples was unusually small this morning, the condition having rather improved, we were enabled to make an advance of is per qr and the stands were cleared. The sale.of foreign continues steady, without any altera tion in prices. There are speculators in bonded, but they do not willingly comply with the rates demanded. Barley was a dull sale during last week, and to-dal Is lower, and the same report will apply to Beans. The Oat trade continues very flat, and the low qualities are very unsaleable even at is decline. WENESDAY, Dec. 22. The supplies are good this morning, and the samples are im proved in appearance; but though the advance of Is per quarter in Wheat which took place on Monday has been firmly sustained, no further advance has been obtained. SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, DEC. 20. In consequence of the arrival of Beasts up to our market to-day being on the whole, by far more extensive than was generally ex pected, and of the attendance of both London and country dealers small, we had an exceedingly heavy demand for Beef, at a decline in the currencies noted on Monday last, of full 4d per 81bs, and a clearance was not effected without the greatest difficulty. About 40 Scots came fresh up from Scotland in good condition. There was a fair average number of Sheep in the market, which moved off freely, at an improvement in the currencies obtained on this day sennight of 2s per Slbs. The Veal trade was brisk, and full as much money was realised. In pigs little doing, yet their value was well sup supported. The general quality of the stock was good.

You were resolute and fearless, my lord, in your effort to establish this board, when you thought you were in the right; have the honest courage to renounce your error, when you feel, as I firmly believe if you reflect, my lord, y ou roust f ee l , you are in the wrong. Relieve Sir Robert Peel from the burden—the incubus on a government bearing the mime of Christian—that he cannot make the word of God a standard for Ireland's education, while your lordship —s o powerful and valuable au ally in his cabinet—is the author and patron of that anti-christian board that is a disgrace to this or any Christian country. why should a pestilent traitor dare to taunt your lordship in the sonate, when you would stand up, as you did, so ably .butunsuccess fully, t o d e f en d th e cause of scriptural education in England —why should he dare to ask " Had the noble lord one con science for one side of the channel, and another conscience for the other ?" if God's authority is to be maintained in England, how preposterous, how absurd it is to say it is not to be maintained in Ireland. Deliver yourself, your own straightforward, manly character, from an imputati on o f in consistency, whi c h even a monster whois a stranger to truth and fairness, whose praise is a libel, and wh ose i nsolence and abuse are a mong your lordship's highest honours, can justly cast on you.—M` Ghee's Letter to Lord Stanley. ~a~~e~~.

During the present week little business has been done in the Corn trade, and we do not vary our quotations for any article. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, DEC. 21. We have experienced a fair Tuesday's demand for Cotton to-day, and fully 2,500 to 3,000 bales have been sold at yes terday's prices —with a steady market. Surats are more sought after, and new Cotton is shunned by every consumer. COTTON MARKET, DECEMBER; For some time past our report of the - Cotton - market has been increasingly gloomy. We must now change our tone a little, and report upon a somewhat better feeling, indicating a tendency towards all descriptions, particularly Surats, which have been sold to-day at i f d per lb. advance. The amount of business is not ex tensive, but decidedly above an average, say yesterday 5000 bales, and to-day, fully to the same extent, and the feeling that Cotton has bottomed, seems to be gaining ground, evincing itself (on the part of buyers) being desirous of purchasing quantity, and on the part of holders displaying greater firmness than for some time past. SALFORD CATTLE MARKET, DEC. 23. Considering that the present week is what is called the Christmas one the show of stock to-day was neither large nor very good in quality, but the demand being good the best Beef was decidedly higher. Sheep was in better show than Beasts, and if Mutton was not dearer, it met ready sale at last week's prices. Little, if any thing, left unsold at the close of the market.
