He had a triangu lar wound at the stem of the left ear. Witness probed it, and felt a hard substance. Extracted a piece of lead, which weighed 32 grains, and which had been in contact with the external substance. At that time he complained of a great pain in his head. Witness attended him several times, and on the Wednesday night afterwards he died. After death witness opened the head, and found a large piece of lead, which had passed through the opening of the outer ear into the internal ear. It was contained in the bone of the internal ear, which it had destroyed. There was a considerable effusion of blood between the bone and the dura meter, and also in the membranes of the brain. On the substance of the brain there were clots of blood. The piece of lead weighed 95 grains, and a portion, perhaps five grains, were left in the substance of the bone, which witness could not extract. — [The witness here produced the two pieces of lead, and they were inspected by the court and the juryl—lf a ball were fired from a pistol, it would be likely to assume the shape of these pieces. In witness's opinion the cause of death was the gun or pistol shot in the ear. By the JllDGE.—Witness's opinion was that the two pieces of lead had formed one ball only, but being softish and di vided when it came in contact with the bone. Thomas Welsh said he was a butcher, and lived in Standish gate, Wigan. Saw the prisoner in custody at the Town-hall. Witness did not on that occasion tell him it would be better for him if he would tell him where his (witness) horse was. The prisoner then told him he was standing on that night with his back to the Independent Chapel at twelve o'clock. neatly opposite witness's shop. Colton came to witness's shop at ten minutes past twelve that night. He was then on a pony. Witness had his watch in his hand at the time. He went towards Standish. He said something to witness, but witness did not understand him, as he appeared to have bad some little drink. Cross-exarnined.—There would be many people going the way that Colton was on Saturday night. He was sober enough to ride. William Heath, police-officer, at Wigan.—The prisoner was apprehended about the twelfth of August. Witness saw him in custody in a room in the town-hall, Wigan, on the 22d. Witness and prisoner were alone together.. He began to talk himself. Ile had talked with witness before. Witness never held out any inducement for him to tell. Whittle was not present on the 22d. John Whittle was here called at the request of Mr. Mutt- He said that the prisoner was apprehended, but not ?resent charge, on the 12th August. When he was and I in custody, ess had conversations with him on several occasions, and had never held out to him the slightest in ducement to confess anything, nor had any one else. Wit ness went with atiosher officer to a cellar in Akroyd-street, Manchester. in which he found two boxes and one trunk. Met with Jane Roberts in Salford. Did not see her in the cellar. The boxes and trunk were searched in the Man chester Town-hall. They were locked, and witness got the keys from Jane Roberts. In one box witness found a hand kerchief. Witness shewed the prisoner this box in Wigan, and he said it was his. Cross-examined.—A person named Elijah Row was appre hended on suspicion of this murder and committed to Kirk dale, where he died. Another man named Haigh, was also This man was now in Wigar Re-examined.—The prisoner was not apprehended on this charge. Row was taken on suspicion, as be was supposed to be in connection with the prisoner in this charge, but he was condemned for another offence. Witness found the handker chief produced in the box— He bought one like it at Mr. M`Master's, but cut it up and sent it as samples to different police offices, except one piece. Mr.,M'Master. was then recalled, and he identified the handkerchief found in the box and the sample as being of the same pattern as that which he had sold to the deceased. Cross-examined.--The price he sold the handkerchief for was ss. 6,d. The buying price from the manufacturer was about 2s. 10d. The handkerchief produced did not appear to have been used or worn. Mr. Whittle recalled.—Row and Haigh, who had been spoken of, were considerably less men in stature than the prisoner. They were both acquainted with the prisoner. William Heal] recalled.—On the 22d August had some conversation with the prisoner in the inner room of the Town-hall., He said he had pledged a watch in Bolton, which he had received from Elijah Row. Witness took down what he said at the time. He said, " the night after they say Colton was murdered, and the same night that Elijah Row gave me the watch, which was Sunday night, about a quarter past twelve o'clock. I went the same afternoon to Billinge, about two o'clock. I had been in a stable in Poolstop-lane since between one and two o'clock the same morning. I was in the Millgate, at the bottom of Chapel-lane, about one or a quarter past one the same morning. About two the same afternoon 1 went to Billinge for the purpose of stealing a horse, which was in a stable by the roadside. The stable was built of wood, and there was a large pond of water on the opposite side. I believe the place is called Higher Billinge. I brought the horse to Smithy Brook. A little past Smithy Brook I turned on a tram-road, which leads to Hawkby Hall and the Leigh canal. I left the horse near the canal bridge, and went to Poolstop, where I had appointed to meet Elijah Row. I met him on the canal bank, before I got to Poolstop. It would be about half-past twelve o'clook on Sunday night. [The prisoner here burst into tears, and was provided with a seat.] Row said, Has thou brought it ?" I asked him if he would go to look at it : he said, " No, I will go home again." He gave me a handkerchief wrapped in a piece of paper. I asked him what it was, and he said it was a hand kerchief, and I must make something of it ; and if any one asked me where I had got it. I must tell them I had bought it from a hawker. He then gave me a watch—an old watch, ou must fasten that somewhere, and make what thou can of it." I said it was good for nothing, and not worth carriage. He then said, " When shall thou be here again ?" I said, " I don't know; I think of going home; but if I come this way this week again, I will either come or send for thee, and if not thou will know where to find me." Row said he was very poorly. I then went for the horse, and we parted. I took it to Bolton. I got there about Bin the morning. I took it to a public-house on Bol ton Moor. I went then to a man named Whittle, on Bolton Moor, but he was in bed poorly. I did not see him that day. I went to him the day after, and told him I brought the horse which I had mentioned to him. I had it with me. He looked at it, and asked what 1 would take for it, and I said £B, but he said he would not give it. An old woman, who I believe is his wife, said it was worth £4. Whittle said he would not give such money, but he would give me £2 10s., which I took. I pawned the watch in the Market-place, Bolton, for 7s, the Tuesday after Row gave it to me." He then said to me, was it you who took my trowsers, and said they were bloody. I said yes. He said if it was blood it must have got on when Wm. Williams was killed on the Manchester and Birmingham Railway,near Rusholme toll-bar, about 100 yards from a bridge between Manchester and Stockport, six or seven weeks ago ; but Peter Ashworth, the inspector, will be able to say. When Williams was killed I was about 30 yards from him, and assisted to get him up. William Bradbury, a ganger, saw me assist to get him up. I believe that was the time I got the blood upon my trousers. There were many navigators round Williams when he was killed, or imme diately afterwards. The day after, I sold the horse and pawned the watch. I sent for Elijah Row. He came to me in Scholes. We had a walk together, when he said said to me, " Hast thou heard about Jacky Colton being shot ?" I asked him, " What Jacky Colton ?" and he said, " Of Haigh, collier and under-looker." I said " No." I asked him whether he had been shot by some of the colliers, who had a spite against him. Row said "No ; be was well liked among the colliers." I asked Row if they had robbed him, and he said yes, they had taken a sovereign or two, some odd money and a watch; and some thing he said about a crown piece. I said, it is not the witch thou has given me, , is it ? He said no ; his was worth nine guineas. Row said when Colton was shot he stunk very ill, and he believed he had the bad disorder. I asked Row if Colton was married, _ but be did not live with his wife. On the as present when Whittle had some ore conversation with the prisoner Whittle asked him in what name he had pledged the watch. He said in the name of Robert Crook, as his mother's name had been Crook. I had got 7s. upon it. Witness took his trowsers from him on the 17th of August, and observed some spots of blood upon them. There were not many spots. Witness got the watch from Mr. Duckworth, assistant to Mrs. Bradshaw, pawn broker, Bolton. Cross-examined.—Row and Haigh were both men of bad character. Row was a shortish man. There was another road to Wigan from the place where the murder was sup posed to have been committed, besides the highway in which the men were met. It was a shorter road across the fields. Re-examined.---There was no way to Wigan from the place where the body was found. You must get over hedge and ditch if you would go to Wigan from that place ; it would mile round, and you would have to go through the turn- pike-gatt John Duckworth, assistant to Mrs. Bradshaw, pawnbroker, of Bolton, proved that the watch produced was pledged at the shop of his mistress on the 28th of July, in the name of Robert Crook, for is. Margaret Colton was then recalled, and she proved that the watch, key, chain, and seal were the same which her fa ther had taken with him when be left home to go to Bolton. William Needham said he was a servant to the deceased, and proved that he saw him with the watch at half-past one in the afternoon, just before he set off for Bolton. He had it in his hand. Cross-examined.—Witness was sure the deceased set off at two o'clock. Mr. MURPHY said the little girl had stated her father had set off at ❑ine in the morning. The JUDGE said she had been led in that question, but she might be recalled. The girl was then recalled ; she said she did not know what time her father set off, but he had had his dinner first. Robert Torbock said he knew the watch produced, and that he had let the deceased have it on trial about a fortnight before his death. Witness bad the watch from his cousin, James Woods. The pendant turned round. James Torbock, son of the preceding witness, also iden tified the watch produced as one which his father had given him to repair. It had a pendant. Whilst witness was wearing it, he gave it to Mr. Green to repair, and be put a new glass and a new hand to it. Witness had no doubt it was the same watch. The JUDGE said this evidence was entirely beside the case, as Robert Torbock did not shew that he had lent the same watch to his son which he had given to the deceased. Robert Torbock was then recalled, and he said he had so lent the watch to his son. • Witness could not clearly see the fea lark coat who was following the de- Ann R rts, the wife of the toll-gate keeper referred to, nut know the deceased.

Green, watchmaker, of Wigan, said the watch was brought to him to repair by James Torbock three months _before Mr. Colton was murdered. The watch produced was Had never seen him the same watch. _ The JUDGE intimated that it was unneccssiry to pursue further the examination with the identity of the watch. Jane Roberts was then called. She said she had lived with the prisoner as his wife, but was not married to him. She refused to be sworn, on the ground that she knew nothing whatever. The Learned JUDGE, with great patience, explained to her the consequences of her proceeding, and told her that she need not answer any questions which would criminate herself. The Crier said she had been sworn upon the bill before the Grand Jury. The witness said she knew nothing. The JUDGE said she must be sworn, even if she knew nothing. He directed the Crier to administer the oath.

Witness and some of the neighbours examined the bag. There was in it a pistol stock, a bullet Mould, and a little box with some powder in it. Witness did not then know who had put the bag there. Jane Roberts was called in. Did, not know, to whom the pistol belonged. Had never Seen it in the cellar before: Witness had seen a dark-blue coat hanging for three days in Anderton's 'cellar, three weeks . before, the prisoner was apprehended._ I _ . w t as - an . . . old-fashioned coat, rounded off in the "laps."

Her father's after the :lame was John Blakeley Mary Blakeley, mother of the last witne Roberts bad given her a coat. Witness was in her daughter's cellar at the time, and, Jane Roberts came in and gave her the coat. It was an old-fashioned farmer's coat, with the laps rounded. This was before the prisoner was taken up, but she did not know the day of the week. She was a stranger to witness. She gave her the coat on some day near the middle of the week. Witness took it to her husband the same day she got it : he came out of the smithy, and she let him look at it John B 1 keley, husband of the last witness, confirmed her testimony as to her bringing the coat, and added that he gave it to Bernard Corner, a tailor, to be altered, two or three days afterwards. By the JUDGE—Had )t heard Df Mr. Coulton's murder till a week after he had got the coat Bernard Corner, the tailor alluded to, said he received a coat from the last witness, on Wednesday, the 2fith August. He was to make it into a double-breasted dress coat. When he received it, it was rounded off at the skirts : he took off that • round, and made it into a dress coat. Lipsett, an officer, came to his house, and witness gave it to him. The coat now produced is the coat be so altered. [The trial had proceeded thus far at the hour of our second edition going to press. Should it be concluded within a reasonable time, we will announce the result as soon as possible.] LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE,--THIS DAY (From Messrs. R. MAKIN Sr SONS' Circular.) Without the slightest reaction from Tuesday last until to day, no lively indications have been apparent in any branch of the Corn trade here, the transactions on the whole having been very unimportant, and on terms, in general, scarcely upon a par with those named in our last circular. The duty on Foreign Wheat is reduced to 23s 8d per qr., upon Flour to 14s 2d per barrel ; remaining on other fo• reign, and upon all British Colonial prodwe unvaried. Of Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal, either coastwise or from Ireland, we have very few arrivals at hand for to-day, and with the exception of 7503 barrels of States and Canadian Flour, the supplies fresh in from abroad are trivial. At the commencement of our market this morning there was a little more inquiry for good Foreign and English Wheats, but such being held at our last quotations, no effec tual progress could be made in sales ; and all other descrip tions of Foreign, as well as the general runs of Irish, were unquestionably very difficult to dispose of at a decline of ld. per 70 lbs. The Flour trade was equally dull, and holders of duty-paid States and Canadian rather pressing sales, the value of such must again be noted somewhat lower ; home manufactured Flour, of which a fair supply is to hand. is also cheaper. Of Bonded States Flour 800 barrels have been sold at 235. per barrel, but even at this reduced rate there appears no general disposition to speculate, and still lower prices seem to be looked for. A cargo of good Odessa Wheat, under lock, has changed hands at ss. 3d. per 701bs. Barley and Malt appeared to meet little or no demand, and had buyers come forward, lower terms would have been conceded. Beans and Pease, also, seemed to excite attention, and the former being plentiful, both rather depressed in value. Oats, in the absence of country buyers, were nearly with out demand, at an abatement of 4d. per 451h5., and Oatmeal ruled extremely dull at late prices. • ARRIVALS OF CORN, From the 30th March to the Ist April, 1841, inclusive.

Few buyers attended the public sale of Surats, and out of 2580 bales offered only 250 were sold. at id. per lb. below previous business by private. The sales of the week are 18,700 bales, of which 1.700 bales of American are placed to speculation account, and 1,300 of various descriptions for export. There was also forwarded into the interior unsold last month 1020 bales. We quote the prices of all descriptions id. to id. lower this week, with a flat and heavy market at the decline. It is confidently stated, that Mr. Nichlols, one of the poor law commissioners, has resigned his appointment.—Times. THE RlBBLE.—During the week the neighbourhood of the quay at the Ribble has been in an unusual state of bustle' owing to a number of large vessels (brigs and schooners) having come there to unload their cargoes, which have always previously been discharged into lighters at Lytham, and brought by them thence to Preston. This is an earnest of what may be expected from the exertions of the Ribble Com pany to make the river navigable. We stated last week that nearly the whole of the rock had been excavated, nothing re maining but a very small portion of the division between the coffer-dams. This will be done at an early opportunity. The dredging also has proceeded most satisfactorily, and yesterday the steamer towed from the quay five of the vessels down the river, a sight most unusual here, and which had attracted many persons to witness it. That there is a greater depth of water in the river (the effect of the improvement) is evident, and ere the summer has passed we anticipate that the arrival of large class vessels at the quay will not be a matter of surprise. —Preston Pilot. FATAL PUGILISTIC ENCOUNTER.—Another of these de moralising and disgraceful exhibitions took place in a meadow near Pershore, between nine and ten o'clock on Wednesday night last, and terminated in the death of one of the panic- 5 named Glassbrook ? . a painter, residing in Pershore. The name of his antagonist is Stephens, a carpenter, living in the same town, who, together with his seconds in the affair, w,ll have to answer for their part in the transaction at the bar of criminal justice. This is the second death from fighting that has taken place within a fortnight in this county. These practices appear to be reviving. Three battles had been fixed to come off in the neighbourhood of Stourbridge next Easter; but, in consequence of the late fatal result of an en counter in that district, they are " drawn." An inquest was held on Friday, before T. Best, Esq., when a verdict of " Manslaughter" was returned against Stephens, together with his father and four other men, who were aiding and abetting in this infamous transaction. They have accord ingly all been taken up on the coroner's warrant, and removed sn the county gaol, where they now await their trial at the xtp assizes. IVe hear that bail has been offered for the par, oate— Worcester Journal. MURDER AT DUNDEE.—On Tuesday last the inhabitants of this town were again put in a state of considerable ex citement, by the body of a female child, about two months old, having been discovered floating in a p001...0f stagnant water, near the depot of the Dundee and Arbroath Railway at the harbour. The body, which was nearly in a state of nudity, was conveyed to the Post-office. On the afternoon of Wednesday, a great many persons having gone to view the body, it was identified by a female to be the body of a child belonging lo Catherine Sytnon, a worker in one of the spinning mills, upon which an officer was immediately de spatched to the mill, who found her at work, and brought her to the office. She appeared rather unconcerned, and admitted at once that she was the mother of the child, and that it was by her hands that it came by its death. On the following day an officer, on going •to the house where she lodged, and searching it, found concealed in the straw of the bed where she used to sleep, the whole of the clothes which the child used to wear, and which, we are informed, were upon it on the evening when she carried it out of the house, thus showing the deliberate manner in which the murder must have been committed, she having stripped off the clothes previous to consigntng it to its watery grave. The case is under judicial investigation, and will no doubt be tried at the ensuing Circuit Court. We understand the reputed father of the child is a married man. The prisoner is a native of Errol, but has been about Dundee' for a number of years ; she is moderately good-looking, of the middle size, about twenty-eight or thirty years of age, and appears to be of a still or sullen temperament. She has another female child about five years old.—Dundee Warder. r vt M displayed bH Ey th e y ou n g LL.

W. Flower, the chaplain of York Castle, a visible change took place in his demeanour and ex pectations. Though from the first he expected that a verdict of guilty would pass against him, he had the infatuation to suppose that be should ultimately obtain his freedom after suffering a short term of imprisonment, and to that, we sup pose, may be attributed his apparent unconcern. We have heard that application is to be made to the crown on his be half for the exercise of the royal clemency in consideration of his youth, and the apparent unpremeditation of the attack upon the unfortunate deceased. What may be the issue of the application we cannot say ; but, looking at the evidence adduced, and the terms of the judgment pronounced by M r . Baron Rolfe, we have not much hope of a successful result. The accidental circumstance of the judges having been de tained at York over Saturday night, will give the unfortunate deceased a respite for a week ; as, if they bad left the assize town before last Sunday, execution would have been done on Saturday next, but as the judges did not leave till Sunday, the execution will be postponed till Saturday the 10th of April. - 2 1 1050 AL INTELLIGENCE VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT.-TLESDAY BLUNDELL V. ,GLADSTONE The argurrents of counsel iui.this cause (which was now brought before the, court upon,,f4ther directions), having already occupied the exclusive attention of the court during two whole days, were brought to a close to-day.

Barketc LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MARCH 30 We have had, to all appearance, a (Met market to-day ; but a fair extent of business has been done, say, from 2,000 to 2,500 bales, at steady and full market prices. Some little enquiry for export, but what was done on this account has not transpired yet. The non-arrival of the President, with the probable causes of delay, have been the engrossing topic of conversation on 'Change, and , seem to excite great interest and much specu lation on the probable tone of her intelligence. THURSDAY EVENING The arrival of the Britannia, yesterday morning, bringing Intel. ligence of the increasiag commercial distress in the 'States, with a gradually falling Cotton market, together with the continued gloomy feeling in our manufacturing districts, caused by the almost cessation of trade, have had their natural effect on our market, causing a decline of d to id v. lb on all descriptions of Cotton since Friday last. The supply is good, and buyers have a better selection than for some time past. .We wrote upon 2500 yesterday, and today we estimate the quantity' rather under than over 2000, with a very quiet market. ing date the 28th of Nov. 1835, devised, large real estates to trustees upon trust to, permit the .second son of Edward Weld, of Luiwortll,,Esq., to .take the same for life, without impeachment of waste, and after his decease, upon trust for the first and other sons of the said second son of Edward Weld, severally and successively in tail male ; and in default of such issue upon trust for the, third and every other son (except -the eldest) , of the said Edward Weld in tail male ; and for default of such issue, upon trust for the first and other sons of each brother (except the eldest brother) of the said Edward Weld, severally and _successively in tail male.; and and in default of such issue upon trust for the second and other sons (except the eldest) of Lady Stourton, wife of William Lord Stourton, one of the sisters of the said Edward Weld, in tail male. At the date of the will, and at the death of the testator, it appears there was no person in being named Edward Weld, the then owner of Lulworth was Joseph Weld. This bill was filed by Thomas, the second son of Joseph Weld, of Lulworth, submitting to the court that by Edward. Weld, " of" Lulworth, the testator intended the then owner of Lulworth, but had by mistake used in describ ing him the name of " Edward' for " Joseph" ; and that this construction was clearly proved to be the true and only one by the reference which was made in the will to Lady •Stourton, as " the wife of William Lord Stourton and sister of Edward Weld," Lady Stourton not d having been married until long after the death of Edward Weld. Counsel having been heard in support of the claims of various parties, The VICE-CHANCELLOR said this case appeared to him to be a very simple one.. He had listened and looked through all the cases which had been cited, and it really appeared to him that this case came within the rule to be found in the case of " Miller v. Travers." in Bth Bingham, and without adverting to what was said in the case of " Doe v. Hiscock," sth Messon and Welsby, he considered this case might be decided with the greatest facility. The sole question here was, who was the person described in the will as Edward Weld, of Lulwortb, Esq.? And, for the purpose of deter mining that question, he would advert to the only evidence which could be properly given, or received—namely, the evi dence showing the state of the family of Weld at that time. His honour entirely rejected all that was said as to what the testator knew of the family, and what was his intention ; all his honour had, however, to do was, to look at what was the state of the family of Weld at the time, and then to collect what it was the testator intended by his will. His honour then found, that Joseph Weld, the present owner of Lul worth. had an eldest brother living, Thomas Weld, and another .brother, Edward, who, in 1796, became a priest, baying taken holy orders in the Romish church, and who died at the age of 21. Joseph Weld had also two sons, of whom the present plaintiff, Thomas Weld, was one; and he had also a sister—namely, Lord Stourton. This being so, his honour must look atthe whole of the will, and not at one line of it alone, but at every part of it. That his honour took to be the true and legitimate rule of construction when the ques tions to be solved were who were the persons to take, what was the thing to be taken, and what was the quantity of in-. terest in the thing to be taken ? The court, therefore, on looking at all the parts of the will, was only following the rule laid down in the case of " Miller v. Travers," wherein the Chief Justice says that the intention of the testator is to be collected from the words he has made use of in the will, and not by words he has not made use of. First, then, look ing at the language the testator had used in his will, he found these words, " First, to permit the second son of Edward Weld, of Lulworth, to take the same (the real estates) for life without impeachment of' waste, and after his decease upon trust for the first and other sons of the said second son of the said Edward Weld, severally and successively in tail male, and in default of sach issue upon trust for the third and every other son (except the eldest) of the said Edward Weld in tail male, and for default of such issue in trust for the first and other sons of each brother of the said. Edward Weld se verally and successively in tail male ; and in default of such issue in trust for the second and other sons (except the eldest) of Lady Stourton, wife of William Lord Stourton, one of the sisters of the said Edward Weld, of Lulworth, in tail male." His honour, having read this extract from the will, continued, and said—There did not appear to him to be anything else material in the will besides this, that the testator had so framed his will as to make the first devise take place in pos session. It appeared to his honour that he must look at this will in some manner as if the testator had in limine spoken of Edward Weld, of Lulworth, in the county of Dorset, Esq,, or whom he had described as havinglan eldest brother, and as having a sister—namely, Lady Stourton ; and this was made clear from the expression used in the limitation to the chil dren of Lady Stourton ; for the expression used in that limi tation was, to the " second and other sons of Lady Stourton, the wife of William Lord Stourton, and one of the sisters of the said Udward Weld, of Lulworth, Esq." Then his ho nour must take it, that here was a devise in trust for the se cond son of Edward Weld, of Lulworth, Esq., who himself had an eldest brother and a sister, Lady Stourton. Then it was said that that could not mean the second son of Joseph Weld, because he had, in fact, a son named Edward Joseph, and it was said that for several ordinary purposes he was cal led Edward Weld, and that was proved by Mrs. G. Weld, his aunt, for that she used to call her nephew Edward ; and it was also stated that upon solemn occasions he wrote his name Edward Joseph. It was to be observed, that although it might very well be that the name Edward might be a suffi cient description of him for some purposes, yet that the name of Edward solely was not a perfect description of him by name. Then, it was to be further observed, that if he was the person designated, he was not fully and fitly, and if not fully and fitly designated, he did not answer to the descrip tion given of him as having an eldest brother, and being the brother of Lady Stourton. Then, against that it was said that Mr. Joseph Weld had an error given to him as to his Christian name : but then, he is described as Weld, of Lulworth,. county Dorset, Esq. His honour admitted it might be very well to describe Edward Joseph as Edward Weld, for some purposes; vet here was a testator disposing of his estates, and evidently speaking of a person to be the stirps, and who was the person from whom the stirps were to arise? The expression of Weld, of the county of Dorset, Eby., would have been a sufficient description of the father ; but there was an error in the description. Further, when his honour looked and saw the person described as Weld, of Lulworth, is described by two circumstances of which there was no doubt—such as having an eldest brother, and being brother to Lady Stourton, he had, on the one'side, a suffi cient description in one respect, but one which was not pre cisely accurate—and two circumstances of description at tached to him which by no means suit ; and he had a de scription on the other side of a person partly accurate, but two other circumstances which fit him, and which, in his honour's opinion, so pointed him out, as not to leave a sha dow of doubt upon his honour's mind. His honour now de cided this point upon the mere construction of the will, dis regarding everything but the state of the family of Weld at the time—everything else he rejected. His honour had thought a good deal about this case, and it did not appear to him that any good or .advantage would arise from sending the case to law. It could not be sent to.law without taking away all simple statements of facts which had now appeared before the court. He thought that this was a question which could be better decided in the Court of Chancery than in the courts at law, as this court would decide upon the whole of the will as it stood. His honour feeling no doubt upon the question now before the court, was bound, in justice to the parties, now to declare his opinion upon the case. His honour, therefore, declared his opinion to be in favour of the plain tiff's claim. A HOUSE FALLING IN AND BURYING THE INMATES. — About twelve o'clock on Sunday night last, the outer wall of a cottage-house in Red Bank, occupied by a pensioner, named King, and his family, suddenly fell outwards, with a tremen dous crash, letting down the floors and the roof, burying some of the inmates, and throwing the others to a distance. The sound of the crash, and the shrieks of the sufferers soon drew a number of persons to the spot; and, by their exer tions, the rubbish was removed, and those who were under it extricated. At the time the occurrence took place, King and his wife, and three children, were in bed, as were also a female and a male lodger. King, ,his wife, and children, were all covered by the ruins; but, by the stairs projecting over some of them, and a beam over the others, there were none of them seriously hurt, though they were more or less bruised. The female lodger was thrown out of the window, and alighted in the yard, but she was not seriously hurt. The male lodv,er, who was tipsy, by some means or other, got astride of a beam, and was h o i s t e d i nto th e yar d. He had nothing on but his shirt, and h e i mme di ate l y off running . towards Hanover-street, wh ere h e was stoppe d b y th e police, who, not without apparent reason, imagined he was mad. He, however, got a supply of clothes and then returned. The cottage was a back one, and in falling it took part of a chamber of the front hou se i n w hi c h a f ema l e was i n bed, but she was not injured. The buildings are very old and belong to Lord Ducie. — Manchester Guardian. ESCAPE OF ONE OF LORD JOHN RUSSEL'S PETS. — The government brig Tamar has just arrived from Port Arthur. We understand that Zephaniah Williams, one of the three chartists, and who was employed as an overseer at the coal mines, had made his escape from Tasman's Pen insula, taking with him four men, one of whom, named County, formed part of the crew who ran away with the commandant's boat some months since. When the Tamar left, two of the party, County and Rooke, had been taken near East Bay Neck.—Hobart Town Courier, Nov. ]7. [Who knows but Mr. Williams may find his way back to England and be knighted —or become a deputy-assistant poor-law. commissioner ? Stranger things have come to pass.] THE PROXIMATE MARRIAGE OF THE PRINCESS AUGUSTA OF CAMBRIDGE.—We were in possession of information some months back that this interesting event was on the tapir—but we have hitherto refrained from giving it publi city—not from any doubts we ourselves entertained as to the result, but from motives of delicacy, as deeming the an nouncement in the present state of the negotiation to be pre mature. The affair, however, is not only freely spoken of in the highest circles, but has insinuated itself amongst the foreign intelligence in the French papers, and we, therefore, feel ourselves now at liberty to confirm the correctness of the above rumour. The illustrious personage to whom the Princess Augusta is likely to be affianced, is the Hereditary Prince of Mecklenburgh Strelitz. It was considered a mat ter of certainty a t the 'Neapolitan Court, where the Duchess of Cambridge and her two daughters are now visiting, that the ceremony would very shortly take place, but we appre hend this impressio n a ro s e chiefly from the circumstance of his highness's constant attention to the youthful p r i ncess . A marriage of persons so illustrious in station must, i n th e first instance, form the subject of important negociations, and their settlement will necessarily occupy considerable time. Whether with a view to the adjustment of preliminaries, or otherwise, has not as yet transpired ; but certain it is, the Baron Knesebcck, the confidential Secretary and Equerry of the Duke, has left London, and by this . tmie must ha ve ar rived at Naples. We need not add that tillsinteresting affair is much canvassed at Naples ; es pecially among the nu-nerous English now sojourning in that gay city ; and itis deemed on every account to be an eligible match. The P r i ncess Augusta is scarcely nineteen, and Prince George of Alecklen burgh twenty-two years of age.—Court Journal. . - - BRIGHTON, MARCH 26.—MELANCHOLY SUICIDE Op A CLERGYMAN.-113 family Of tire Rev. J. Marshall, vicar of Ovingdean, near Brighton, has been thrown into the deepest affliction in consequence of the death of that gentleman by his own act. It appears that the deceased committed suicide by hanging himself in the wash-house of an empty house belonging to him, at Ovingdean, and which he was in the habit of frequently going to. The discovery was accidentally made, on the decased not having been seen by his friends for some time previously. No suspicion was entertained at the time that anything serious was the cause of his absence, but the surgeon, who was called in immediately after the fatal event was known, pronounced that life had been extinct for some time. He, therefore, must have committed the rash act immediately after he left his own home. Various causes are assigned for the commission of the deed, but all agree that he must have been labouring under insanity. O ne striking circumstance is that arrangements had, been made for the baptising of one of his infants, which was to have taken place on that day. H e was much attached to his family, and previously to going out kissed his children most affectionately ; but there was nothing in his conduct to excite at the time any suspicion of his dreadful intention, and no alarm was at first caused by his absence. Deceased was about 40 years of age, and was much respected by the parish ioners. A presentation of the living was made to him by lather..

(From the Circular of Messrs. James Scott 6- Son.) The imports of Grain, Flour and Oatmeal from Ireland and Coasways, since Tuesday last, have been very moderate ; but with those of the preceding week, Coastways, have exceeded the de mand, and sales of Wheat and Flour, Malt, Barley and Beans, have been made only to a very limited extent at a further decline, whilst Oats and Oatmeal continuing scarce, have fully supported their prices. The only alteration in the duties since Friday last is a decline of Is 6d per quarter on Rye ; there has been a small further increase to our stock of bonded Flour, but little has been done therein, though purchases may be made at a reduction of 6d to is per barrel, and there have been only a few retail transactions in bonded Grain, at about the prices quoted below.

The Mutton, however, was of average quality, and fully equal to the demand. The demand for prime Beef was good, and a few Ordinary beasts unsold at the close of the market. There were few Irish Sheep at market, but this was made up by a large supply from Yorkshire, &c. ; but few of which were driven away unsold. Good Beef, aid to Sid per lb.
