SI LPICE ORDINANCE From the London Standard.) There is a question which we wish to be answered by the conservative peers who opposed the Bishop of Exeter's mo- tion upon ti San Sulnice ordinance These noble lords ordinance a bad thing in the abstract, a rescinding, indeed, of the Reformation, as far as the pro vince of Canada is concerned, but they hold that the legisla ture is bound to sanction the evil, because Lord Bathurst supplied what has been tortured into a precedent for it, and, further, because of the long possession ofthe monks of San Sulpice, and of intimations dropped by Lords Goderich and Aberdeen that this possession might, on certain conditions, (not, however, the conditions reserved in the ordinance) be permitted to continue. Now the question arising upon this argument which we wish to have answered is the following : Were not the Irish corporations, lately destroyed by the House of Lords by tie active influence of some of the con servative peers, and with the aid of the learned Recorder of Dublin, entitled to continue their existence, and to preserve their privileges and property, upon much stronger arguments (though of the same kind) than those to which the House of Lords, under conservative guidance, yielded in the case of San Sulpice? The Irish corpdration had a possession varying from 050 years to about 250 ; the longest possession that the monks of San Sulpice could claim did not exceed a century, and then possession under the English government was no thing like so long.. The right of the Iri s h co r p o r a ti ons wa s guaranteed by charters of English kings, recognised by so lemn acts of the legislature, and protected by the law, which forbade that the conduct of corporations should be questioned anywhere but in the supreme court of criminal jurisdiction. The right of the monks of San Sulpice, such as it is, rests upon the charter of a French king, extinguished, as all such '-arters must be, by the conquest of the province, and on and equivocal intimations of ministers, without ,slative authority, to which we have referred. We have put our question to the conservative peers. We shall now put a question to the country : is this equal deal ing between Protestants and Romanists? Is it fair that the solemn engagements to Protestants should be treated owedly because they are engagements to men who maintain their character as Protestants; while the slightest pretext of even an unauthorised pro m i se to Roman ists, or of what can by ingenuity be twisted into the form of a promise, is to be regarded as an obligation of paramount force Is this—we repeat the interrogatory — equal deali ng Of course we do not apply to between Protestants and Rom anists? ourselves W hig; or radi ca l s, or to any others who may wish for the ascendancy of the Romish church, or at best regard the contest between Pro testantism and Popery as an indifferent matter while th e y profitably play the game of politics. It is . natural for such to persecute impracticable Protestantism in Ireland, and to promote Popery, the willing handmaid of politicians of all creeds and orders, in every country where they can hope to promote it. Our inquiry is addressed to conservative peers, and to the conservatives of the country ; and we may em body both our questions in one—of what have these profess ing conservativ e peers shown themselves conservative in the matters of the Irish corporations and of the San Sulpice ordinance? Is it o f. the right of property and privilege in the one case, or of the reformation in the other? those obscure as of no force, Vnetp. Os, New B F. P.

Each parish will be divided into different districts, extending from 50 to 80 houses, and the inquiries will be made by intelligent per sons residing in the neighbourhood, to be appointed by the local registrars. Each of the agents to be appointed will have to fill up all the details respecting the age, sex, exployment, &c, of the different occupants. On Monday, a circular was. issued from the Home Office to the different district regis trars, assigning as a rate of remuneration the sum of lOs for every 50 houses, with one additional shilling for every 10 houses above this number.

It appeared that the lady of the Hon. Captain - lost a Cashmere shawl of a peculiar pattern some weeks ago. It was supposed to have been stolen mit of her carriage. After some search was made it was given up as lost. The lady was driving through Nassau-street on Thursday, when she observed her shawl on an elegantly dressed young female. The owner of the shawl ordered her footman to request the attention of the wearer, when she made known her loss. The young lady said if they retired to her residence she could give every satisfaction as to the man ner whereby she became possessed of it. The young lady vas invited into the carriage, and all drove off to a respectable looking house in Park-street. At this moment two gentle men were passing who happened to know the carriage of their military friend, and having ascertained that his lady was within a notorious house of ill fame, known as the Hotel, advised the coachman to apprise the lady of the fact. The horror of the lady's feelings at receiving the intelligence may be very well conceived. In the mean time the husband became acquainted with the affair, and having procured the assistance of the police, it was ascertained that the shawl had been stolen and sold to a receiver of stolen goods named Brown, for 55., who sold it to the landlady of the Hotel for 108., and she sold it to her " lodger" for 203. Mrs. Brown was committed for trial for receiving the shawl, knowing it to be stolen.—London Standard. A CURIOUS CIIARACTER, 7 .A . few days ago a man of very eccentric habits departed this life at his house in Broad street-buildings, in the 84th year of his age. His name was John Yardley Vernon, and he had a fancy for always ap pearing about the streets in the garb of a beggarman. He was, we are given to understand, a stock-broker, having years ago, and by a careful and industrious course. realised upwards of £lOO,OOO, and yet he cut such a miserable figure in the streets that people have dropped alms into a little bag which it was his custom to carry. He never appeared to be offended at the mistakes which were thus made by the com passionate donors, but he invariably returned the money with a smile, and the words, " No, no, thank you." The refusal had always the effect of exciting astonishment, and the old gentleman walked on in an old pair of shoes, or rather slippers, not worth a penny. The - parochial officers •of the neighbourhood in whichhe • resided say that he made it a rule to walk down to Whitechapel every day to get a glass of rum and water, in which he soaked some bleat', a dish in which he took more delight than any other. His old habits of business were exemplified in his visits to butchers' stalls, in which he purchased bits of meat, and to brokers' shops, where he bargained for old pieces of furniture, in which he could have bad no use, except the philosophical one of keeping up the excitement which the very show of • .• • business seldom fails to encourage. Mr. Vernon attended church regularly, but never entered a pew. He sat amongst the poorest parishioners, but frequently put upon the plate as much as would pay for a suit of the best clothes amongst the whole congreiation. and there was not a charity in the ward to which he was not a principal contributor.—Morning. Herald. GREAT WESTERN STEAM-SHIP COMPANY.—The annual meeting of the proprietors of this undertaking was held on Thursday, at their offices in Prince's-street. Robert Bright, sq., in the chair very satisfactory report of the c tors was read : the following is its substance. It stated, that since the last meeting, the Great Western team-ship had made six voyages, the average time of her Assages out hav _ . - - ing been a little more than fifteen days and a half, and thir teen days and a half home ; and during the same period she had conveyed 1057 passengers. Her last arrival completed her thirty-fourth passage across the Atlantic, since which she has been docked, and is now reported to he in perfect condition. The experience of the two seasons in which the ship had made early voyages had induced the directors to be -1 eve that it would be more for the interest of the proprietors that her first should now be in April, and she will conse- quently make five vo company's works are now in a very efncit entire stock of machinery is in daily and active open The directors having satisfied themselves that it would be for the interests of the company to get rid of the paddle in their iron ship, and to substitute a propeller upon the prin ciple of the Archimedian screw, have taken the necessary measures for that purpose; the slight alterations required in her frame were easily effected, and at a trifling cost. Had the last meeting empowered the board to raise temporary loans, the completion of the company's second ship in 1841 might have been effected, but this without unduly hurrying her work could not now be accomplished. By this period of next year, she will, the directors anticipate, be perfect for service. On the subject of the company's executing work for other parties, the directors deemed it right to say that their opinion was still entirely favourable to such an appli cation of their works. The period within which this ques tion might be most beneficially considered, should not ex ceed six months from that time, when, should a determina tion be come to not to manufacture for the public, it would become desirable to decide upon the steps to be taken in re ference to the works. By the additions made to the Great Western last year, her tonnage had been increased from 1340 to about 1700 tons, and the amount being £3,155:.65. 4d. was added to her cost. The rates of premium paid on the Great Western in 1838 varied between £lO and £l2 per cent. ; in 1839 it was eight guineas, and in 1840 six 'guineas per cent. per annum, and the total consequent charge on the ship had been £13,606: 16s. The accounts of the past year accompany the report, and a dividend had been declared of 345. per share for the last half year, being, with that declared in August last, equal to 58s. per share for the year, or £8 : 18s. per cent. on the cost of the Great Western, £61,671 15s. 10d. The sum of £3,475: 10s. Ild. was carried to the reserved fund, which now stood at £8,024: 14.5. 6d. The directors had also reserved out of the profits of the year (amounting to £9,350: 9a. 11d.) the sum of £430: 13s. in reduction of the loss sustained on the first voyage made by the ship, which was nearly £4,0`10, and of the expenses in curred in the formation of the company. The unusual sight of a Sister of Charity brought before the Correctional Tribunal was exhibited on Saturday. Sister Sainte Gabrielle, of the order of Soeurs Augustines, whose family name was Engelskirchen, aged 57 years, 32 of which she had passed in attending the sick, was arraigned upon an accusation of having committed homicide, by imprudence. On the 29th September, a young woman who was a conva lescent patient in the Hospice St. Louis, was prescribed a dose of Glauber salt, but by some negligence unexplained, a bottle of corrosive sublimate was placed in the medicine clo set, under the charge of sister St. Gabrielle, who unwittingly administered a quantity of it to the patient, instead of the salt, and of which she died in three hours, after suffering dreadful agonies. The administration of the poison by the hand of the prisoner was admitted by her, but she protested that she was totally ignorant of its nature, and produced evi dence to prove that corrosive sublimate was never before known to be in the same closet, and must have been placed there through the negligence of the chymist who supplied the hospital with drugs, or by some other accide n t un k nown to her. M. Chas. Ledru, who was counsel for the prisoner, ges only in the present year state, a lid, on opening his defence, " In appearing by the side of this good sister, I have obeyed the express wish of the pro cureur-general, who has thusconferred upon me the most en sk I ever had imposed upon me in my life." He then argued with great ability in favour of his client's complete innocence, and ended his defence thus :—" Condemn her! No, gentlemen. Permit me to say, without impeaching your justice, neither am I worthy of defending her, nor have you in any manner the right to judge her. It is the duty of all in her presence to say that we unite in rendering one and the same homage in her person to a being which can merit only our admiration and regret." The court, after a short deliberation, acquitted and discharged the prisoner, who had suffered Severely in mind from the fatal event. She was at tended in court by the superior of her order at the hospital, who, previous to her trial, wrote to the judge, offering to un dergo any penalty the court might inflict in her stead. In her letter she said, " If you impose a fine upon her, I cannot pay it ; for I have nothing, absolutely nothing, in the world. My daily revenue is derived from my sick patients, and this I pay into the bank of the hospice, which does not pay the interest on the capital. But if my sister is condemned to im prisonment, I entreat you to allow me to ask leave of the Archbishop of Paris to go into confinement in her stead." DARING BURGLARY AT STAIRFOOT TOLL-GATE HOUSE. —On Monday morning, about half-past two o'clock, a dar ing and diabolical burglary was committed at the Toll-gate House, situate at Stairfoot, near Barnsley, occupied by two industrious old people of the name of Oldroyd. It appears, from what we can gather, that at the hour above stated, some one came up to the bar, and called out " Gate." Oldroyd, hearing footsteps about the door at the time the call was made, supposed it to he only a hoax to get him out of bed ; how ever, in a shott time another person came trotting up on horseback, and called out, lustily, " Gate : look sharp, I'm going to fetch the doctor to Mr. Micklethwaite, who will be dead before I can get him there if you don't look sharp." Oldroyd, on hearing this, and knowing Mr. Micklethwaite (who lived in a village a_short distarteeoff), opened the door immediately, but scarcely had he put hold, when he was struck on the head which he fell se foot on the thres bludgeon, from fter this they less upon the pulled his night-cap over his eyes, to prevent his secing then During this murderous attack four other men had rush e d i n t o the house, and made their way up the stairs to the old woman, who was in bed, and heaped the bed-clothes upon her and almost suffocated her, saying at the same time, if she made a noise they would murder her. Whilst two of the villains were doing this, the others were searching for money, which they succeeded in finding to the amount of from three to four pounds, with which they decamped, going in the direction of Ardsley. The horse on which the villain was mounted was light grey. During the same morning, one of the labouring men in the e mp l oy of Mr. Harrison, farmer, o f G ra i nge, getting up to go and look at a cow which was ill, on crossing the straw yard, saw four men running from the outbuildings. H . ad they not bee n d etected at the time they were, Mr. Har rison would have b een m i nus one of his valuable horses, as the thieves bad bridled him, ready for walking off , and got him out of the stable most d Toyed the busk declared s no uncommon ye nearly thirty y week, Assizes, only use in that together from Shrewsbu Such a circum annals of eith( it is said ,nce is said to be unprecedented in th versity Security to t The Farmers' Insurance Institutior assured being a matter of vital importance, it will - 1 factory to our readers to learn that the names of 1,323 Share- _this Institution lhave been enrolled, pursuant to anent by which the COM- hich list of names can be referred vill he found some of the ished farmers, in the the provisio oany is empowered, am to at any ti Amongst argest landowners, and most kingdom It is stated that the Marquis of Hertford is a heavy loser fearful of it I out from the English fun erred it for bett e, the noble of less than curity to the United 500,000, and trar Sinus to this large A scientific gentleman has lately patented a candle, -v le without a A wick is, however, supplied, being fixed to a.rod, which is moved up and down, and through the centre of the composition, by the aid of a common spring lamp.

FOLLETT.—The present circuits promise to yield an abundant harvest to this distinguished lawyer, he having received no less . than six special retainers in the Lent assizes —namely, at Liverpool, Lincoln, Chelmsford, Swansea, Exeter, and Taunton. The result of his exertions at Liver pool is no doubt very anxiously anticipated, he being leading counsel for the plaintiffs in the Heatley property cause ; and we are quite sure that if the most transcendant legal talents may be exercised in a manner that might secure a verdict, the case that is entrusted to Sir W. Follett will run no risk of failure. 'THE ASSIZES.—In the course of the afternoon of Wed nesday last, the whole of the 90 causes entered for trial in the Ist or West Riding List were disposed of, and at the rising of the court on Thursday evening, there were only a dozen of the 25 causes in the 2nd or North and East Riding List remaining to he tried. At the Crown end, although great efforts have been made to get through the business by the holding of subsidiary Courts and otherwise, there re mained on Thursday evening not less than half-a-dozen cases for trial, of which were the long cases of the Barnsley murder, and of Peter Foden for riot and sedition, each of which was expected to occupy something like a day. The general expectation, however, was that the business in both Courts would be got through to-day.—Leeds Intelligencer. UNGRATEFUL THIEF.—On Wednesday a woman fell from the north quay at the Bromielaw, and, while struggling in the water, a sailor gallantly sprung from the side of a boat ann got her out in safety. The heroic act was followed up by a generous offer on the part of the tar to take the woman home to his house in Oswald-street, in order that she might have her clothes dried, which was readily accepted. On ar riving at the house in question, the rescued fair one had her dripping clothes exchanged fora much better dress belonging to the wife of her preserver ; but before the drying operation could be completed, she found an opportunity, while dallying with the sailor's child at the door, to make off with the suit with which she was accommodated, and has not since been heard of.—Scottish Standard.

He was taken up into the train again, and conveyed from the railway station on a board to the House of Correction.—Leeds paper. AMERICAN POLITENESS. — (From a Correspondent.)— Just before I left America I was at Washington, and hap pened to be at the foot of the steps by the Senate House. I saw our minister, Mr. Fox, about to ascend them, when he was accosted by a half-drunken Yankee in these words : " What do you do here, sir ? I guess you're one of the Bri yhom we are going to turn out of the country ; so MR. WLEOO.—We confess we do not like to see a case, involving a gross and most dangerous violation of the law of nations, argued like a common charge of felony, on the low ground of an alibi. What matters it to the authority and dignity of the British crown, thus outraged and insulted in the person of its subject, whether M' Leod was preseq at the burning of the pirate vessel the Caroline or not? The charge against him is, that he was there; and the insult to Great Britain consists in the American authorities confirming to keep him as a prisoner, and to try him for his life, notwith standing the declaration of our government that the burning of the Caroline was an act done under its own authority. The result of the trial has nothing to do with the merits of the case, as between our government and that of America. ATTEMPT TO ESCAPE PROM THE C IT Y PnlSODl.—Tyler.

But this warning being of no avail, our minister gave his assailant a regular Mendoza hit, which sent him sprawling down the steps. A crowd, of course, assembled, among whom were several American officials; and the latter instantly took Mr. Fox into the office of the Secretary of State, where, as well as in public, great pains have been taken to hush up ct matter so discreditable to American manners. awtat ior his removal, made an attemp, to get out of his irksome confinement on Sunday night last. On the following morning, Mr. Griffiths, the governor, went round to examine the cells, according to his usual custom, when he found in the prisoner's cell the brick-work loosened to a considerable extent; the prisoner, upon being ques tioned, acknowledged that he had laid a scheme to make his exit from the prison, by first removing the bricks by means of a small knife • be had then intended to make his way to the boundary wall, and to get over by tying his blankets to gethei, with a brick appended ; his knife, however becoming useless before he cuuld make a hole in the wall, the plan was frustrated.

THE CATHEDRAL AND PALACE AT HEREFORD.—It has been already stated that the Lady Chapel (a beautiful speci men of nglish architecture) in this time-honoured edifice, is about to be restored ; and in addition to this, the process of removing the odious plaster and whitewash from the massy columns in the nave of the cathedral is proceeding.

DUDLEY.—Last week, Jonah Child, the celebrated portrait painter, died, aged 69. He was a very singular character; he had his coffin made 16 years ago, and used it as a book case. UN ENFANT TEaRIBLE.—A trayelling pedlar with his pack arrived, a short time ago, et Aubencbeul-an-Bois, not far from Cambria, and, entering the only public-house, de manded his supper and a bed. The house being full, the latter could not be afforded him, but an_ inhabitant of the village, who was present, offered him one in his own cottage. The poor man gladly accepted it, and being fatigued by his day's journey retired, and was soon sound asleep, with his pack by his side. The villager had at first no evil intentions, but overcome by the demoniacal instigations of his wife, he in the middle of the night, got up, beat out the brains of his sleeping guest, and threw the body into a marl-pit, at the bottom of which was a quantity of water. The. pack was then opened, and its contents, consisting chiefly of hosiery, were divided among the family. Next morning the child of the murderers, who was very young, appeared with a pair of new stockings, which excited the envious inquiries of its play mates. The child, in the simplicity of its age, told them that they were found in the pack of a man whom its father had killed in the night ; but the story was so improbable that no one believed it, till some days afterwards, the wif e o f th e pedlar not having heard from him traced him to the village, and came in search of him. The magistrate was called in, the child examined, the marl-pit sounded, the body of the murdered pedlar discovered, and the murderer and his wife arrested.—Galignanex Messenger. ,ch is now in 'diner nf St N progress gaol, work seen likely to be plentiful this summer ; and if we take, in conjunction with this fact, the recent establishment of a society for aiding the industrious, it seems not impro bable that our neighbours of Hereford will enjoy the dis tinction of not having an able-bodied pauper among them.— Worcester Journal. HYDROPHOBIA AT WESTBROMWICH.—A poor man named Stanley, recently died from this horrible malady, after three days' illness. The puor fellow stated that he had not been bitten by any dog since about seven years ago ; but it is sup posed he must have been slightly bitten several times since, as he had a habit of fighting with dogs in sport. A gentle man who saw him on the day of his death states that the paroxysms were dreadful, but the sufferer was perfectly sane and composed in the intervals between the fits. The post mortem appearances were increased by vascularity of the brain, with softening of the cerebellum, and a very consider able softening of the upper portion of the spinal marrow. We understand that Messrs. Chance, the deceased's late em ployers, have kindly furnished the widow and children with employment. There are seven of the latter.— Warwick Ad vertiser. CAUTION.—BREAKING OPEN WAREHOUSES AND IRON SAFES.—During the night of Thursday last one or two very determined attempts to get at the contents of safes in well secured warehouses, were made, but fortunately with but small booty, though in all other respects the efforts were most completely successful. In one instance the thieves appear to have shown all the dexterity and skill of practised cracksmen. Some time between the hour of eight o'clock on Thursday night, and the same hour on Friday morning, the thieves effected an entrance into the counting-house of Messrs. Peel, Williams, and Peel, ironfounders, 17, Pall Mall, by unlocking or picking the padlock on the outer door, and also opening the fixed lock on the door, doubtless with a key with which they had provided themselves for the purpose, for they again locked the door inside, leaving the key in the lock. They do not seem to have sought for any booty in these premises ; hut, having forced their way thence into the adjoining ware house of Messrs. Rostron Brothers, they dragged the iron safe from its stand into an adjoining room, and having care fully wrapped it round with fustian pieces, and padded it, so as to deaden the sound, they proceeded to break it in pieces with a large sledge hammer; but though in this they suc ceeded, they were disappointed by finding that all the cash had been removed. The thieves appear to have quitted the premises without making any further attempts, or taking any property away with them. They made their egress by a door into Pall Mall (not the principal one) which was locked and barred inside, and which they left unfastened. They also left behind them their implements, consisting of two crow-bars, and a very large sledge hammer. In all probability this was the second attempt of the kind made during the same night by the same parties ; for we understand that the warehouse of Mr. John Hall, iron merchant, 64, Port-street, was also broken into, and the iron safe broken, apparently by similar means; but here, too, the booty of the thieves was very in considerable. As no ordinary safe can be secure against such attempts, it behoves all who are in the habit of relying per haps too much upon the security of these boxes, to be careful to leave as little cash in as possible.—Manchester Guardian. ACCIDENT ON THE BOLTON AND PRESTON RAILWAY.— An inquest was held at Chorley, on yesterday se'nnight, be fore Mr. Palmer, coroner, on the body of a man named John Tyson, 33 years of age, who was employed as an engineer on the Bolton and Preston Railway, now forming at Chorley. Peter Crosby, labourer, was examined, and he stated that himself, the deceased, and two others, were engaged, on Tuesday afternoon, the 9th instant, in heaving on the drum of the machine, the rope connected with which was fastened to a balk of timber laid against another piece, and when the balk was lifted up, it overbalanced, and they were not able to prevent it from falling upon the deceased, by which it threw him into the cog-wheel, the engine being going at the same time. The right thigh of deceased was broken, and he was otherwise crushed. After he was got out he was taken to his sister's house, in Chorley, and Mr. Pollard, surgeon, promptly attended to him, and gave him all the assistance in his power, but the deceased only continued to survive until the following day, and then died. He was in perfect good health before the accident happened, and witness had no doubt that his death was caused by the injuries he then re ceived. David Williamson, another labourer employed on the line, and one of the four en gage d i n ra i s i ng the tim b er, corroborated the evidence given by th e f ormer w i tness. Th e jury then gave a short deliberation to the statements of the witnesses, and afterwards returned a verdict of " Accidental Death." THE WEATHER. — Despite of poor Murphy's wager, that the Thames would be frozen suffici en tl y to bear hackney coaches by the Ist of March, and in defiance of Dr. Burney's meteorological threats respecting the intensity of the cold in this month, the warmth of the sun's rays has been unusually fervent for so early a period of the year. The weather during the past fortnight has been of an extraordinary kind, for by night we have had the fogs of Novembe r , w hil e t h e d ay has abundant promise of Nature's continued a v , in h g edgerows, woods, gard ens , an d t h e p l anted b een m etamorphosed into June. Ev eryt hi ng i s now budding " 0, how delightful is the bursting spring, fieldsbt b o r u th n t d r e g e i When the warm blood leaps nimbly through the veins, and with the budding forth and blossoming Of fields and groves, methinks the soul attains Fresh life and greenness, wantons in the breeze, Sings with the birds, and with the waving trees Dances in unison." We have, however, heard fears expressed that the month of March is this year rather too precocious, and that the plants and fruit-trees (many of which are now in the thickest bloom) will fall victims to the biting frosts which are not unreason ably to be expected in this and the ensuing month. But why should we anticipate evil? It is always the wisest policy to look on the bright side, to enjoy the present moment, and b e grateful for the blessing. The wheat is at present everywher e looking in excellent health, and the agricultural operations o f laying ma nures o n the land, &c., have been highly f avoured by that boon to the farmer—a dry March. To-day, however (Wednesday), we have had an instalment of April weather, in fleeting and warm showers. —Berrow'a Worcester Journal.

This arbitrary and unconstitutional measure can hardly be denounced too strongly, as it takes away entirely from the defendant th#l privilege of being tried by a jury, be sides subjecting him to false and vexatious accusations on the part of worthless and profligate females, who may constantly perjure themselves with a view to obtain the fine which may be levied against the defendants, whilst, as a mean s o f pre .... . vention agU'inst vice and profligacy, the bill is likely to prove a decided failure. It was rejected by the House of Corn mons, we believe, last session, and we trust that it will ex- perience the same fate this year DESPERATE ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE. —Yesterday morn ing, about twelve o'clock, a woman named Gage, about 30 years of age, whose husband has been in the employ of Messrs. Stevens, law-booksellers, in Bell-yard, Fleet-street, for many years, residing in Little Shire-lane, made a despe rate attempt at self-destruction, by cutting her throat with a table-knife; but whether from the instrument not being sufficiently sharp, or failing in her resolution, she threw open the window and precipitated herself to the pavement be neath, having no other clothing on but her chemise was immediately removed to King's College Hospital , where, in spite of the severe nature of the injuries she received, hopes are entertained of her recovery. It appears that the wretched woman is of very dissipated habits, being always in a state of intoxication when she can procure the money for that purpose, and the previous day had been very drunk, and was during the night found by a policeman sitting on the step of a door, when he removed her to the station-hoase, and afterwards knocked up her husband, who went and took her home. Little doubt can be entertained that drinking has destroyed her reason ; and some time since her husband was obliged to put her in the workhouse in consequence, and she has been considerably worse since the death of an only child, about twelve months ago.—.Zferning Herald. A CANINE POSTBEAREIL—A very interesting scene may be witnessed any day on the road to Derby. It appears that the Derby mail is met every morning, at ten o'clock, by a dog from an extensive ironworks at orksop, waiting to be the bearer of the letter bag for his master, which is regularly dropped by the guard without waiting. If, however, the canine messenger is not somewhere about at ten, the horn is sounded, and the dog is immediately observed in the distance cominz alone the road with all sliced to meet the mail at the lane-end ; btit this is very seldom r the case, as the dog usually seats itself upon the walls adjoining the works, listening for the approach of the mail. When the bag is thrown down the faithful creature, without delay, invariably takes the nearest way home through the hedge and over the fields. Later in the day the empty bag is brought back by the dog to meet the same mail to Derby, but, in consequence of the guard not getting off his seat, it is necessary to send a person with the bag, who can throw it upon the mail while it is going. The dog, feeling his inability to supply the deficiency, denotes his anxiety by barking and howling. With this ex ception the animal performs all the duties of a letter carrier for his master " with punctuality and despatch." I,)il,3pirig Eaten/quirt. --.----•,.a....-- FRIDAY, MARCH 19.

Tea.—During the week there has been a good demand for low Greens, for exportation ; the market for home-use has been very firm, and a fair business done at our quotations. No sales reported in Indigo. 59 chests of block Shell. Lac sold at 35s 6d; 20 of Gum Arabic at 24s to 465; and 24 boxes of Tincal at 50s per cwt.

The excitement noticed last week continued unabated until the arrival of the Columbia, since when the market has been quiet but firm, at the advanced quotations. So far this month, about 1500 hhds. have been sold, of which 300 were for Ireland, 60 for Scotlan d, 160 for export, and 450 on speculation, the remainder, or 530 hhds., being taken by Manufacturers. Tha same dullness which has for a long time past been observable, continues in Brimstone, Argots, Sumac and yellow Berries, Cream of Tartar being scarce, has realized an advance of 2s per cwt. Madders and Roots continue in moderate request, at rather im proved rates. The sales of Quercitron Bark are 40 hhds. Ist Philadelphia at 13s. Only small sales have been effected in Olive Oil, without change in prices. With the exception of a sale by auction of about 20 tons Cod and Seal Oil, &c., (the remainder of s. wrecked cargo,) which went off at irregular but fair prices, there have been no transactions in Fish Oils, and the market continues dull. Seed Oils are steady, and there are few sellers of Linseed Oil even at the present advanced quotations. Oil of Turpentine has improved Li per ton, chiefly- in consequence of the advance in the raw material, but the demand is not very brisk. About 120 tons Palm Oil have been sold at the annexed quotations, and a more general disposition is evinced to meet the buyers at present rates. The market for Hemp and Flax is dull: .50 bales Manilla Hemp sold at .28, which is rather lower, and 100 hales Jute at .€l4 is per ton. The Tallow market is again Is lower; yellow Candle, which in the beginning of the week met with a fair demand at 475, is to.day offering at Otis 6d, without finding buyers ; inferior sorts have experienced a further decline in proportion, and a small lot of Lisbon Tallow sold yesterday at 37s to 41s per cwt.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MARCH 19 The market was very steady on Saturday and Monday, when a good deal was done on speculation ; but the flat accounts received from Manchester on Tuesday, and the packet from America, which arrived on that morning, having brought no intelligence of con sequence in addition to previous advices, caused a considerable suspension of demand, and the limifed sales of the last four days are at a reduction of id to id per lb for the low to fair qualities of American; Surat is also rather lower, whilst other descriptions remain as before quoted. 8550 American and 700 Surat hake been taken on speculation.

Holders have made a stand, and are satisfied not to press their stocks on the market, merely selling in small parcels to meet the demand. On Saturday 1500 to 2000 hales were sold, 500 of them to a speculator, and to-day we estimate the total amount at 2500 to 3000 bales, chiefly in Arnelican descriptions, from tiid to LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, MARCH 20, The imports of Grain, &c. from Ireland, since this day se'nnight, have continued light, but from the English coast there are reported 21,900 quarters of Wheat, 3,900 quarters of Barley, 3,991 quarters of Beans, and 5,200 quarters of Malt. The foreign arrivals include 1,330 quarters of Wheat, 740 quarters of Oats, 3,150 quarters of Beans, and 500 harrels of Flour, all of which, under the present state of the duties,.. will, doubtless, he placed in bond. From British America we have received 3,100 barrels of Flour. Through out the week the trade, generally, has ruled dull; at yesterday's market we had scarcely any - country buyers in attendance, and, the largest supplies of Wheat already noticed (consisting chiefly of free foreign brought round from London) including our town millers to confine their purchases within the narrowest limits their necessities would permit, few sales occurred, though holders, generally, were offering their samples at a decline cf per 7elos. Flour has undergone no change in value, but has, latterly, sold less freely than at the beginning of the week; a remark that may be equally well applied to Oatmeal. Oats have not met any extension of de mand, but have still been in so small supply that they have maintained full prices, English malting Barley must he noted id per quarter cheaper. Beans have barely maintained their previous value. Peas as last quoted. 1,000 garters of Bannato Wheat, of middling quality, have changed hands, in bond, at as 6d per 701b5., and 2,000 barrels of United States Flour have been sold to arrive at 24s 3d to 24s 6d per barrel.
