The nab her Majesty to ob nes had hi en taken on Mr. M. O'FERRALL conceded very considerable merit to the plan of Mr. Harris, and eight vessels had been fitted with this apparatus by way of experiment. There were, however, two other plans under considerati on by th e admiralty, which appeared to be equally efficient, and were very much less ex pensive. They were now causing experiments to be made with these, in order to ascertain if they were as convenient in their adaptation as those of Mr. Harris. In doing this thre was no risk whatever, inasmuch as even very imperfect apparatus afforded safety to the vessels. He had no objec tion to the motion of the noble lord. Lord INGEsTain read a letter from th Admiralty to Mr. Harris, declining to give him compensa tion for his invention, in which letter its utility was admitted. He feared there was some under current at work to prevent Mr. Harris from reaping the reward of the important service he had rendered to the navy secretary to the Mr. WARBURTON said that after such a strong report from the commissioners the plan of Mr. Harris should he gene rally adopted in the navy, and fair compensation should be given to that gentleman for the invention. Sir R. PEEL quoted the opinion of Captain Fitzroy, of the Beagle, which ship was fitted with the apparatus of Mr. Har ris, strongly approving of the prineiple, and bearing testi mony to its practical utility in that vessel. The right hon. baronet contended that the Lords of the Admiralty would incur a heavy responsibility if, in the face of the report of the commission, composed as it was of practical scientific and nautical men, they, from mere motives of economy, neg lected to adopt it. He was also of opinion that Mr. Harris was entitled to receive a fair and reasonable compensation. Sir T. COCHRANE had no doubt but that many of those vessels which had never been heard of were lost tor want of such an apparatus as that of Mr. Harris. This was the more likely when it was recollected that a ship of war when at sea was a magazine offering a point of attraction to the lightning. Sir R. INGLIs supported the adoption of the plan of Mr. Harris. Sir C. LEMON said that, in addition to the value of the in vention, Mr. Harris was between £l,OOO and £2,000 out of pocket on account of the Government. Captain A'CounT thought the plan should be at once adopted in every ship in her Majesty's service. Admiral Sir C ADAM admitted that the most perfect system of protection was that which ought to be adopted, without reference to economy ; but it was only by experiment that the most perfect system could be ascertained. Those now in the course of being tried were perfect as conductors, and much cheaper than Mr. Harris's, but it remained to be ascer tained if they could, with equal convenience, be adapted to the ships, and whether they were likely to sustain damage at sea. The Admiralty had not objected to give compensaton to Mr. Harris, but he had claimed £7,000 as compensation for loss of money and loss of professional time, and the Board of Admiralty thought his invention not worth that BUM Lord ELIOT asked if the noble lord would state what sum the Board of Admiralty would consider to be a fair remunera tion.. This question was not answered, and the motion, on being put by the Speaker, was agred_to. __ Mr. PAKINGTON obtained leave to bring in a bill to alter the mode of electing coroners. The principal alterations he proposed were to shorten the period for taking the votes, and to have the right of voting the same as that which con ferred the franchise for parliamentary elections. Upon the second reading of the bill for conferring a pen sion on Lord Keane, Lord SEYMOUR, in a reply to a question from Mr. Hume, said there was no objection to lay upon the table a record of the services of Lord Keane.

Lord GLEN assistant poor law commis HOUn OF COMMONS-FRIDAY Col. CLEmENTs took his seat for Cavan Several petitions were presented against the poor law bill. Sir F. POLLOCIt presented a petition from the Royal Col lege of Physicians, London, signed by Sir H. Halford, the president, and by Dr. J. Bright, Dr. B. G. Babington, Dr. G. Burrows, and Dr. R. B. Todd, censors, against the bill for the alteration of the laws relative to the medical profession in Great Britain. The petitioners stated that they have been for some time engaged, in concert with the other medical corporations, in the preparation of a proposed measure of re form in their own body, which would shortly be submitted to the legislature. • In a conversation as to the day for discussing the medical profession bill, Mr. HAWES said it was his intention to strike out all that part of the bill relatingto chymists anddruggists. Mr. WAKLEY said, as that part of the bill was to be struck out, he entreated that his hon. friend would strike out the other portion of the bill also. Ultimately Mr. HAWES said he would withdraw his bill, and ask leave to bring in an amended measure.' Mr. AINSWORTH gave notice, that in committee on the poor law amendment bill he should move a clause exempting the Bolton union from the operation of the bill. Mr. EWART gave notice for the 4th March, of a bill to appoint a public prosecutor. On the motion for the second reading of the English Re gistration Bill, Sir EDWARD SU GDEN advanced several ob jections to that measure. In lieu of the • present revising bar risters, it would constitute 15 judges, who would have no other professional business, and who would therefore soon lose their legal aptitude. He knew of no complaint against the present revising barristers, except the youth of some of them. He objected to a nomination by the Speaker of the 15 original judges, and still more, of the judges of appeal. Such nominations, however uprightly made, woud always be suspected of political partiality. Speaker Lenthall had told Charles I. that the Speaker was the servant of the house ; but this measure would make him their master. He censured also the proposal for constituting two classes of voters—the questionable class,- and the established. It Would establish the rich, and leave the poor questionable ; and it would open the way to much collusion in getting voters into the esta blished class. As to the business to be done by the proposed Court of Appeal, he believed there would not be enough to occupy ten days, perhaps not seven, in each year. So much for what this bill contained : a few words more for what it omitted. It omitted the necessity for payment of taxes, it'd it omitted all attempt at that which the bill of a former year had proposed—a definition of the franchise. How was it that this definition, which Government said was indispensa ble to a registration bill for Ireland, had been wholly omitted in this Registration Bill for England? He would not resist the second reading, but would reserve his further opposition for the committee. Mr. GISBORNE, in support of the bill, referred to instances of inconsistent decisions by revising barristers ; the judge on one side of a passage admitting the votes which his brother judge on the other side of the passage was rejecting. There might be objections to some of the details of the present measure, but it would, on the whole, be a beneficial one. Mr. WARBURTON considered it to have been a point ad mitted so long since as 1838, that the institution of revising barristers was a bad one. He saw no force in the objection that the proposed judges would be confined to this one The Comm6sioners of Bankrupts had to administer, yet no failure was alleged He would not enter into details, which itly discussed in committee. branch of busir. but one class of 1 ! was a simple way of terminating all a this bill, as in the Irish bill, a defi- I SHEFFIELD, ASHTON-UNDER-LYNE, AND MAN CHESTER RAILWAY COMPANY.

NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, (Prom a Correspondent of last night's London Standard.) Nov. 20, I regret to have to report to you that intelligence was received here this day, at noon, that a most- destructive fire broke out last night at the princely mansion. of the Marquis of Londonderry, at Wynyard Park, near Stockton. With the details we are at present wholly unacquainted,' though rumour says the loss will be littte short of £lOO,OOO, I venture to think,however, there May be some exaggeration in so large an amount. The property is said to be very slightly, if at all covered by insurance. An overheated flue is reported to have been the cause of this sad calamity. (From the Sun of last night.) We have learned this morning with great regret the de struction of the noble edifice, of which the subjoined letters give melancholy accounts. It appears from these that the building is almost totally destroyed, and that the loss of pro perty is enormous. This celebrated mansion is distant about four miles and a half north by west from Stockton. It was erected on the site of the old mansion, by Sir Harry Vane Tempest, father of the Marchioness of Londonderry, from a beautiful design by P. W. Wyatt, Esq., and the park within a few years has been greatly enlarged. It is difficult to say which is most worthy of admiration—the dignified simplicity exhibited in the exterior of the building, or the judicious ar rangements in the interior, which combine the majesty of a palace with the comforts and conveniences of a domestic dwelling. The walks and pleasure-grounds in the vicinage of the edifice harmonize well with the chaste design of the architect; artificial decoration, superb ornament, give place So the softer features of nature. A small rivulet, forming a beautiful canal, margined with wood and shady walks, meanders with easy curvatures through the park, and gives a delightful finish to the scene. The property of Wynyard has been held by a long succes sion of distinguished families. The inheritance was conveyed in marriage with Lady Frances, daughter of Sir Henry Vane Tempest, to the Marquis of Londonderry in Ireland, who, in 1823, was created Earl Vane, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN, Stockton-upon-Tees, Saturday Evening, Feb. 20. SIR,—I beg to make your journal the medium of commu nicating a most appalling catastrophe which has happened in this vicinity—the destruction by fire of the magnificent and beautiful mansion at Wynyard, the seat of the Most Noble the Marquis of Londonderry. The writer of this letter has tened to the scene of the fire, and arrived there about half past one o'clock this morning. The conservatory, and a large portion of elegant structure, were then in flames. He en deavoured to ascertain on the spot, as well as he could in the confusion which naturally occurred, how the accident had happened ; but all that he could learn was that the house keeper, Mrs. Edgar, and two female servants, in the absence of the family. resided in the house ; that one of his lordship's game-watchers was out about half-past ten o'clock last night, and at that time nothing had occurred to attract his atten tion, but that on proceeding to join another watcher, at a little past eleven o'clock, he observed the flames issuing, as he thought, from the chapel, which had not been finished, but in which some carpenters had been recently employed. The chapel is close to the conservatory, and is heated by means of flues, from the overheating of which it is supposed the accident has arisen. The sad intelligence was immediately made known to the villagers of Wolveston, about a mile and a half from the noble mansion, and with all possible despatch at Stockton, when many individuals hastened with three fire engines to the spot, and did all that human aid could do in arresting the destructive element. It was, however, a most heart-rending scene to observe the rapid destruction of this pride and glory of the North, and containing some of the most costly and rarest articles of furniture, and many of them the gifts of crowned heads. There is no one, whatever his feelings may be towards the Marquis, either politically or otherwise, but must deeply sympathise with his lordship, the marchioness, and their family, on this sad event. That part of the building which comprises the Kitchens, and some portion of her lady ship's apartments, including the boudoir, though greatly da maged, have been preserved ; and by the spirited exertions of several individuals, particularly of two from Stockton, who might be named, nearly the whole of his lordship's paintings, and a great portion of the most valuable furniture, books, and fittings up of the several apartments, though injured, of Course, have been secured. The plate was altogether saved. The amount of loss sustained by this melancholy event cannot well be estimated, but I should venture to say that property of the value of three or four hundred thousand pounds was destroyed in a few hour. It is not known whether the pro perty was insured. His lordshiplis still abroad. It is to be regretted that suitable fire-engines were not kept on the premises, and there wanted some persons of judgment and importance to direct the proceedings during the awful period. The fire is still burning, but the engines will no doubt be used until all appearance of danger is removed I am, sir, your obedient servant, in their department would be more con' Mr. HOME said ther difficulties—by giving nition of the frauchis tries should be differ homely cheered.) y the two coun tly dealt with in this particular.

But that makes no difference as to the wisdom of the plan for constructing a railway from Manchester, nor will it all lin king, or disturb the calculations originally I believe the calculations will re- pede the undert Made by tE company main unassailed, and it is precisely the same with regard to the result as when our calculations were first submitted to parliament, with this difference, (a difference in favour of proved that the traffic would be much greater than the esti mates that were originally made, but that the amount of expenditure would be the other way, it was found that although the traffic had increased the expenditure had much increased also. (Hear.) By looking to the published reports and proceedings of other companies, we find a consi derable increase of expenditure ; but still the increase of traf fic, in a majority of circumstances, affords a remunerative return for the increased outlay, With respect to the railway of which we are the proprietors, the traffic will be found to partake of the same general result which has happened to, other companies—namely, the traffic will be greater than was originally estimated ; but we shall have the satisfaction of knowing that, as far as the matter can be tested by experi ment, the expenditure will not be greater. It will be found that the more industrious and diligent gentlemen are in look ing into the accounts, the more will the directors he pleased, for the shareholders will then be convinced that the aggre gate_ expenditure will come within the estimate. If you look _ys, you will hardly find a company state a similar result. Even the Grand Junction to the history of rails! Railway Company, who had the advantage of having the same engineer with the Manchester and Sheffield Railway Com pany, in some instances doubled their estimated expenditure. believe the expenditure in this undertaking will not exceed our estimates ; while, from the increase of population, and renewed traffic, we have every reason to believe that the traf fic will considerably exceei what it was estimated at ; and, therefore, the opinions which the public has formed with re spect to the resources of the company are rather premature. The unfortunate litigation in which the company was nearly implicated, no doubt, gave rise to these opinions. But it is satisfactory to know, as the report announces to the proprie tary, that the series of litigations in which the company was involved, and over which the directory had no controul, arose from circumstances common to all railway undertak ings, as well as to those circumstances peculiarly connected with a company who came so late into the market. In that litigation the company was successful, and, in addition to our liberation'from the meshes of the law, the advantages attain able by the improVed state of the money market, and the clearing away of the clouds that hung over the affairs of the company, now offer a hope that, for the future, we shall have much greater ease in collecting resources, and making greater progress in carrying on the works than hitherto. You are al ready so well acquainted with the history of railways—this town being almost the centre and parent of all the railways in the country—that it is unnecessary for me to into a detail of their respective expenditure, in order to prove specifically what I asserted generally. lam amply borne out in what 1 have stated with respect to expenditure by the reports of the Grand Junction Railway, the North Midland Railway, the Manchester and Leeds Railway, &c. &c. &c., in all of which the expenditure has considerably exceeded their estimates ; ' whereas in this railway, so far as we have gone, the expendi ture has not exceeded the estimate. Since our last meeting the directory have turned their serious attention to the ques tion of the probable traffic. They were not satisfied with the original estimate on which the application to parliament was founded, but employed. some gentlemen conversant with that mode of business to make re-investigations of the pro bable traffic, and the result of theirlabours will be laid before you in the report—which report, I am happy to say, is highly satisfactory so far as we are able to give an opinion. The report will hold out a strong expectation (on these matters it should be recollected that we can never speak with certainty) of seven or eight miles of the line being opened in the autumn of the present year. It is exceedingly desirable that, circum stances permitting, it should be carried on with as little delay as possible ; for if we can only open seven or eight miles of the line, the undertaking, instead of being one only in pos sibility, and futurity, will assume a settled and established character. and the public will feel greater confidence in it. The probable profits arising from these seven or eight miles, which will constitute the whole line to Glossop, will, when laid before you, prove very satisfactory. lam anticipating the effect of this report, but I thought it my duty, on taking the chair, to state the circumstances under which we meet I do so, as the opinion of the direction is considered worth having. If the proprietary support the direction, and place the necessary resources at their command to carry on the affairs of the company, there will be no ground for despondency, and the position of the company will soon be very different from what it as at present. The chairman having fixed the company's seal to the registry of their pro ceedings, Mr. - C - harles Thomson, the secretary, read the report and statement of the accounts, for which see our advertising columns. Mr. JAMES BERN ARD moved that the report of the resi dent engineer, certified by the engineer-in -chief, be printed and circulated. It was not for the meeting, who were not engineers, to enter into the minutiae of the report, but they might safely rely on the known character of Mr. Locke, whom he (Mr. B.) was glad to see present. He hoped Mr. L. would persevere in the work with all due consideration of the expenses, and add another leaf to his well-earned reputation by completing the work at a moderate cost. •He (Mr. B.) was sure the work would satisfy the shareholders as fully, by the return of their capital, as any magnificent work of art, which, no doubt, was commendable and beau tiful to see, but which did not always yield the return expected. _ The resolution was seconded by Mr. LEES, and agreed to. Mr. WADDINGTON believed it was pretty well known that the directors were extremely anxious to carry on the works, and that from time to time heavy calls were made on them. They were purging the share-list and endeavouring to keep it pure from those parties who could render no assistance. In a short time they hoped to be able to re-issue forfeited shares to solvent shareholders. They would then have a healthy responsible body, able to answer the calls made on them, but the directors would not make these calls if they could avoid doing so. But for the purpose of avoiding it he would propose to the meeting to give the directors power to borrow money when it was required ; that if their means were found to be insufficient for completing the railway, the directors might borrow the sum of £230,000, to be taken up at interest on the credit of the railway undertaking ; and that the company's directors be authorised' and empowered to mortgage and assign the property of the undertaking, rights, titles, &c. arising, or to arise, by virtue of the act, with interest of the same, to such person or persons as shall advance the same. Mr. CHAPMAN seconded the motion, and it passed. A vote of thanks having been passed to the directors, Mr. WADDINGTON, at the request of the chairman, with great pleasure returned thanks on behalf of the directors. He telt confident they would endeavour to deserve the thanks of the proprietors by carrying out the objects of the company, in refereime to the railway between Manchester and Sheffield, so as to return them a handsome dividend on their out lay. The chairman alluded to the state of the money mar ket as being unfavourable to the company's operations, but much more evil had resulted from evil reports, which bad been most industriously circulated by parties carrying out railway speculations of their own. These - parties had calum niated this railway undertaking, and represented it as imprac ticable, and not likely to yield a remuneration. The board of directors were carrying on the work with the utmost pos sible dispatch, and making as small a draw as possible on the pockets of the shareholders. The undertaking was a valuable one, and if proper exertions were made to forward the work without unnecessary delay, it would be second to none in the kingdom. On the part of the board he thanked the propri etors for the renewed mark of their confidence afforded by confirming the grant of £1,600, and he was sure the directors would prove themselves worthy of the trust reposed in them. The meeting was then declared to be dissolved The work Is divided into five contracts. The Ardwick contract commences at the junction near Blind-lane, and ends at the Trail dogs, Messrs. Buxton and Clarke are the contractors. The Newton contract begins at the Trail dogs, and ends at Newton-green ; the contractors are Messrs. Sar gent and Denton. Mr. ThoThas Brassey is the contractor for that part of the line from Newton-green to Broadbottom —this is called the Hattersly contract. The Gamesley con tract is undertaken by Messrs. Miller and Blackey, who carry on the line to its terminus at Glossop, with the excep tion- of a bridge over the Etherow, which, we understand, is a separate contract. BRISTOL AND EXETER RAILWAY.—The noiseless but steady and active manner in which this company are pursu ing their object of completing the line leaves no doubt of its being opened to Bridgewater by the Ist of June, and to Taun ton early in 1842 ; already the wooden bearers for the rails are being laid. The object of the directors is, now sufficient has been paid up, to give the proprietors a little respite by taking up £500,000. on loan • no new calls will be made for a year and a half to come. With this loan the workS will be completed considerably beyond Taunton, so that the share holders will be in the receipt of a good income, while the bondholders will be sectire of their interest the moment the line reaches. Bridgewater, not out of the capital but out of the annual rental secured by the lease to the Great Western Company, and leave a considerable surplus to the sharehold ers besides. Wit be true, as we understand it is, that £1,500,000., with the loan of £500,000., will complete the line to Exeter, and the rent and toll will pay 6 per cent. on the total outlay, and 5 per cent. be paid for the loan, the shareholders will receive at the rate of 61 per cent. for their capital; making a good thing for those who have bought shares at a large discount. The forfeited shares, we are in formed, are all taken up by the large and substantial share holders. _ _ MANCHESTER AND LEEDS RAILWAY.—This important link of the railway communication across the kingdom from Liverpool to Hull, will be completed and opened throughout on the Ist of March. A few months will now tell what may be expected of this and its kindred lines, but the full traffic will probably not be developed for a year or two. NORTHERN AND EASTERN RAILWAY. —The meeting was held on Thursday. The directors in their report express their satisfaction with the result of the opening of the line, and of the prospects of traffic. It appears that they have made arrangemenls for laying a double line to Broxbourne, and also for opening to Harlow-road, seven miles further, in July. THE LATE TRIAL OF THE EARL OF CARDIGAN. - -(From a correspondent.)—Such was the doubtful character of th e issue of th e l ate tr i a l i n t h e H ouse o f Lords, entertained by the Earl of Cardigan and his legal advisers, that his lordship, in the event of being found guilty of felony, and to prevent, in that case, the whole of hi s property being forfeited to the Crown, executed, some time before, a deed of gift, assigning over the wh o l e of his valuable possessions to Viscount Cur zon, the eldest son of Earl Howe, the latter nobleman having married a sister of Lord Cardigan. It is stated, that the legal expenses of this transfer of property, arising from fines upon copyholds, and the enormous stamp duties, amounted to upwards of £lO,OOO. As the deed is stated to have been enrolled in due form, the same expences will now have to be again incurred to effect a re-transfer of the property from Viscount Curzon to his lordship. Should the statement of our informant regarding the stamp duties payable to govern ment be s ci correct, n.,cbu ur incurred a ede ,v t h l e y y will not o n l y most amply defray all the expenses the country in fit t i ng up the House o f Lords, &e., a very handsome surplus.— Times. STATE OF TRADE MANCHESTER, FRIDAY EVENING.—Since this day week there has been rather a favourable change in our market, especially in the demand for both cloth and yarns, and though prices generally cannot be quoted higher than at that period, still some kinds of cloth are 14d. a piece dearer, whilst all descriptions are saleable at prices not obtainable even on Saturday. Yarns are in much better demand, and in most numbers a - slight advance may be obtained. LEEDS.—Though the stock of goods in the Piece Halls has increased both in bulk - and assortment during the last ten days, the purchases by the merchants have been very limited, the sudden check given to the dealing of the Ameri can houses by the recent intelligence from that continent not yet having been removed by the subsequent arrivals. In the warehouses chiefly connected with our domestic trade there is a good business doing in fabrics suitable for the spring and summer season. HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, FEB. 16.—The change from severe to mild weather, had its effect on this market to-day, so that the choice in goods was greater, and buyers more nu merous, whd purchased freely. The demand was principally in middle and low fancy woollens, and light waistcoatings and ladies' dresses. Prices are firm, and confidence gradually increases. Wools are slightly looking up. BRADFORD MARKET.LITiIe transactions in the Piece Hall here, on Thursday, were on a more extensive scale than those of any market-day for, the last three or four weeks, and prices were considered very firm, though no material im urovement can be quoted. The' yarn market was also brisker than of late, which caused the spinners to hold on for an advance, and on some sorts they succeeded to a small ex tent. The wool market did not, however, manifest the same improvement. The sales were rather limited, and prices un derwent no material variation. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, FEB. 15.—We have had rather a flat market to-day, but no change in prices. During the last week, another small manufacturer, who makes for the Blackwater market, has suspended payment. The wool staplers, as usual, will be the principal creditors. There is no change to report in the wool market. BARNSLEY. — The linen trade is very flat at present ; many of the warehouses are working short time, and a great many weavers are out of employment. CHESTERFIELD WOOL MARKET, FEB. 16.—There is more animation in the wool trade in this quarter than has been ex perienced for some time.

SHAMEFUL TREATMENT TO AN APPRENTICE.—At the Rochdale petty sessions, on Saturday last, Robert Brierley, a coal miner, was charged with having committed a shameful assault upon one of his apprentices, a boy named Kershaw, 12 years of age. The poor fellow has been so beaten that he could neither sit nor stand, he was laid on the ground before the bench—he had not less than 26 wounds upon his body. The master had frequently beaten him with a piece of wood which had a nail driven through. Brierley said the boy was very disobedient. The magistrates cancelled the indentures and fined the master in X 5, which was ordered to be given to the boy.

DESPERATE ATTEMPT OF A HUSBAND TO MURDER HIS WIFE.—A young man named Thomas Potts, a calico printer, residing at Mitcham, and who' has only been married about 18 months, left home on Tuesday, and did not return until nine o'clock at night, and he immediately 'went into the room where his wife was sitting with her mother, and without say ing a word he pulled a pistol from his pocket, presented it at his wife, and fired it off, and the greater portion of its con tents passed through her cheek. A labouring man who was passing came into the 'house and seized hold of Potts, and after a struggle forced him into a chair, and held him there until West, the Beadle of Mitcham, arrived and secured him. The prisoner then said, " I have done it-1 have done it— I have murdered my wife, and I hope I shall be hung." The constable asked him what he had done with the pistol, and he produced the one he had just discharged stills wife. West then searched him, and in one of his pockets he found ano ther pistol loaded to the muzzle, and in his coat pocket a razor, and he asked Potts what he was going to do with the razor, and he replied that he intended to have destroyed him self with it atter he had killed his wife. Mr. Tipper, a medi cal gentleman of Mitcham, had by this time arrived, and he ascertained that the woman bad received a very severe injury, and he administered to her the necessary assistance. The prisoner was on Thursday brought before the magistrates, but as his wife was not in a condition to give evidence, he was remanded for a week. EXTRAORDINARY CASE.—A. trial for murder, attended with circumstances of extraordinary atrocity, has just taken place before the Court of Assizes at Brest. The facts, as proved in evidence, are as follow —A man named Castel, an armourer, resided at Brest with his wife, who appears to have behaved virtuously and properly up to the year 1826, at which time her husband embarked as master on board a ship of war. On his return, after the battle of Navarino, at which he was present, he found that his wife had been leading a dissolute life, and she was no longer worthy of his affection ; but he forgave her, and hoped to find in her repentance some return of the happiness which he had formerly enjoyed. The wife, however, far from replying to the kindness of her hus band by good conduct, formed a connection with a married man, named Bescond, who resided in a village adjoining Brest, and by a long series of cruel treatment, in which she was aided by Bescond, drove her husband mad, and he was sent to a lunatic asylum. On his return home, cured of his malady, the brutality of the wife and her paramour, who, as an excuse for his frequent visits, had placed his daughter as a boarder in the house of Castel, was increased, and it was at length resolved, in the winter of 1839, to deprive the unfor tunate husband of life. For this purpose the wife pretended that some money had been left to her husband at Havre, and a passport was obtained for them to go to that place. They quitted home in the evening, in company with Bescond and his daughter, a girl of 21 years of age, and of Augustine Cas tel, the daughter of the married couple, aged 16. It was ar ranged with Castel that he and his wife should take leave of these three persons at the house of Bescond, whose wife was absent. When Castel arrived there, some warm wine was given to him, into which Bescond, with the knowledge of the wife and Augustine Castel, had put a large dose of laudanum ; and when the poison had produced its effect, Castel, pro bably still living, was carried at night into a field belonging to Bescond, where the murderers, aided by the daughter of Bescond, who does not, however, appear to have been pre sent at the murder, dug a grave, into which they threw the body, and Bescond having cast over it two sacks of quick lime, in the hope of removing all trace of the deed, the grave was filled up. After the murder, Bescond and the guilty widow led a life of great dissipation, frequented the theatres and masked balls, and appeared totally insensible to remorse. To persons who inquired for Castel, they replied that he had embarked at Havre for the colonies. The murder came to light in the following way :—The wife of Bescond, having re monstrated with her husband and his mistress on their adulterous intercourse, it was resolved by them to murder her also. The plan laid by these wretches was overheard by the daughter of Bescond, who ran to her mother and told her to be on her guard, or she would be served as Castel had been, and then she related all the circumstances of the murder in the presence of a female friend of her mother. This female recommended that the crime should be denounced to the Procureur du Roi; but to this neither the moth er nor th e daughter would consent, as they wished to spare the life of the husband and father. The female in question, however, took an opportunity to send an anonymous letter to the Pro cureur du Roi, which led to the arrest of all the parties, in cluding the girl Bescond, and to the discovery of the body, which was found entire, although in an advanced stage of decomposition, having been buried more than six mon th s , In the grave was found a copy of the criminal code, which had belonged:to Bescond, and the leaves of which were turned down at the part relating to the proceedings in cases of mur der. Sixty witnesses were examined, and not the slightest doubt existed on the minds of the jury as to the guilt of all the parties, except the daughter of Bescond, who was ac quitted. Bescond and the widow Castel were sentenced to death, and the daughter, Augustine Castel, was condemned to impisonment in a house of correction for 10 years, at the expiration of which she is to be placed for 10 years under the surveillance of the police.

LIVERPOOL COLONIAL MARKET, FEB. 19 Sugar.—There is still a good demand, particularly for the better descriptions of B. P., with which the market is very barely supplied, and the sales are 450 hhds., at rather higher prices. Bengal con tinues to be offered very freely, and nearly 12,000 bags have been taken, without much alteration in price. No 'Mauritius at market. Nothing is reported in Foreign, Bonded Refined, or in Molasses. Coffee.—The sales cf Plantation are to a moderate extent, corn. prising 120 casks of Jamaica, at steady prices. A small parcel of Mocha was sold at the quotations, 15 casks, 70 bags of tine Java at 65s to 665, 1350 bags damaged La Guayra at 365 Pd to 44s 3d, and 240 bags damaged St. Domingo at 30s to 39s per cwt. Nothing done in Cocoa, Ginger or Pimento. 100 bags black Pepper sold at 31c1 to 4d per lb. Rice is scarce, and the sales are confined to a small lot good Bengal at 15s 6d per cwt. Rum.—The business con sists of 200 casks, chiefly flue Demerara, at Ora quotations. Tea.—There has been a fair inquiry for common and good Congous, and prices remain without alteration. A few chests Bengal Indigo were sold at Is 6d, and 10 serons of Caraccas at 5s per lb in bond. A small sale of Shell Lac is re ported at 42s to 47s ; Tincal at 46s ; and Gum Arabic at 445. 600 bags Pearl Sagy and 60 tons Cutch have been sold, but the price is not named. There is a better inquiry for good Saltpetre, and ex tensive sales have been made, and an advance of Id obtained ; the quantity sold is 4290 bags. prineiPally at 245 641 to 28s. 500 bags Nitrate of Soda have been taken at 21s 3d to 21s 6d per cwt. Dyewoods.—There are no sales to notice this week in any des criptions. The demand for Turpentine is rather langiiid, and for 1100 brls. of middling quality 12s 6cl has been accepted. In Tar no sales. Montreal Pot Ashes are rather lower, and there are sellers at 29s 6d. Pearls exceedingly dull. Hides.—The market continues very dull, and the only sales reported are 600 dry salted Pernambuco at 4ad, with 289 dry at 54a, and 3000 good .dry salted East India Kips, at lOid for sound, nd for lst rubbed,And 6d per lb for 2nd rubbed. Tobacco has been in good demand, and the sales reach 400 hhds., of which about SO were leaf for Ireland, 40 for exportation, and nearly 150 of different kinds on speculation. All kinds arc very firm, and in some cases a little higher. The business done in Brimstoue has agaia been on a limited scale, without change in prices. Nothing worthy of Notice has been done in Sumac, Argols or Cream of Tartar. Of Persian Berries, 43 bales have been sold at preVious prices. Madders and Roots continue in moderate demand. No sales in quercitron Bark. For Olive Oil there has been rather more inquiry than for some weeks past, and stocks being very small, extreme prices continue to be maintained for the small sales which have been effected. A dull market still prevails for all kinds of Fish Oils ; the business is con fined to small transactions, chiefly amongst the Dealers, and prices are rather lower. Pale Rape Oil has been less sought after, but the Price is steady. Linseed Oil has attraeted some attention for forward delivery, hut there are very few sellers, and, on the spot, last week's prices would hardly now be accepted. Oil of Tupentine has been sold, in some instances, a shade under the annexed quota tion but a fair extent of business has been done at 555, the de mand having improved. Palm Oil has again receded a little ; but the reduction 'has brought an improved demand. and nearly 300 tons have been sold this week, at £32 Its to .433 per ton ; 100 tons were also sold for future delivery, at a lower rate, but by a speculator, in anticipaton of lower prices, and the sale cannot be taken as an accurate criterion of the state of the market. In Hemp And Flax the sales have been unimportant; prices without altera tion. Tallow continues dull of sale, and limited transactions only take place in in. yellow Candle, at about 48s; 100 pipes South American have been sold at 38s to 43s and 3d, being a decline of Is 6d per cwt. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, FEB. 19 The market opened with an improved demand, which was con siderably increased by the arrival, on Monday morning, of the steamer from the United states, and estimates of the crop being further reduced. Towards the middle of.the week business becarhe very animated, and an advance of id to 4d per lb was readily paid for the common to fair qualities of American ; in other descriptions there was little or no change, with the exception of Surat, which was rather dearer. During the last two days the demand has been less extensive, but the advance is maintained. Speculators have taken 17,300 American and 700 Surat, and Exporters 450 American ACCOUNT OF SALES AND IMPORTS OF COTTON, From the 19th instant, to this day, inclusive. SALES OF TKE WEAK Prices paid!

Prices firm,,and the market closes steadily MONDAY EVENING A good attendance of buyers this morning, Wit not purchasing to snch an extent as of late, consequently the market has not quite so buoyant an appearance, though as regards prices the full ad vance of last week has been maintained. boon bales have been sold, including a few hundred to a speculator. ' LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET, FEB. 22 This day we have had a tolerallje good supply of Beef and Mutton, which met with a good demand at our last quotations, except prime Sheep, which were fully id per lb dearer. Prime Beef, 61 to 7d, inferior ditto, sid to 6d; prime Wethers, Bd, middling and inferior Sheep, 7d to 70. Number of Beast, 1202; Sheep, 413,3. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, FEBRUARY 20 During the last seven days we have had a fair sapply of Wheat, Barley, and Malt coastwise, and upwards of 10,000 loads of Oat meal from Ireland. The arrivals of other 'descriptions of free Grain, as well as those of Flour have been moderate. The week's imports from abroad comprise 700 quartets 91 Beans and 12,500 barrels of Flour, the latter from the United States. Without any thing like an extensive vend for Wheat, but under a fair, steady demand for consumption, holders here have been very firm, and have been enabled to establish an advanee generally of 2d per Mta on our last quotations. Free Flour has met a moderate sale at previous rates. Oats have continued in small supply; the de mand, however, has not stepped beyond the wants of necessitous buyers, and no material alteration has occurred in their value : as 2d to 3s 2id per ablbs has been paid' for a few fine mealing. Oatmeal has latterly sold rather more freely at 27s to 27s 6d per 2401b5. Most of the roundland Barley as been cleared off at 37s to 395 per quarter for grinding qualities . Irish! and Foreign have, met little inquiry and are rather cheaper. No change as regards Beans or Peas. Up to yesterday inclusive, about 8,000 barrels of United States Flour had changed hands, in bodd, at 31s 6d; and, to-day, 2,000 barrels have been sold at 25s per barrel.
